It was midnight, and a bride of rare beauty was sealed within n biudoir id tlio gay city capital of France. A dainty emme k rhnmbre had but lilt the apartment when Fred.iric de h Tnur, the young husband iu question, euterid. Madame de la Totir wns seated near an open wood (ire, the folds of a beauti ful robe of light, soft texiure thrown ornnd her. "My darling!" exclaimed 1)j la Tour, ' I could Mit come before." As be spoke he threw hisself upon his knees before licr. "Our friends have just gone?" asked his listener. "Yes; and I am with you." "l)i not kneel, Frederic, there is room for you on this couch," continued Madame de la Tour. "Let me remain thus. It seems as if I must be dreainino; that all this happi ness cannot be real j that you ure tint indeed mine to love and cherish. I cannot remove my eyes from your dear face, dreading that you will vanish from my view." ' Be very sure that I do not ' propose to vanish,'' responded M idauie de la Tour. "Yesterday I was the widow of Lord Melville, and to-day I nm Louise de la Tour, vour wife. Ynu see, strange as it may seem, you do not dream." Frederic de la Tnur had good reason to suppose that a fairy had bjeu mid dling nilh his affairs. Within a few mwnlhs past he bad ci joyed a streak of inestimable goo J fortune. He had became rich and happy beyond bis fond -st hopes. This was how it hap pened : 0 e afternoon, while returning from his I'ftiee, he was in the Rue St. Honore accosted by a lady who was di ivirrj iu a maguificant equipage. ''Mousieui 1 Monsieur 1" she called. The footman bad lowered the steps and motioned to e li Tour to enter the carriage. Astonished beyond measure, be mechanically obeyed "I have received you letter, Mon sieur," continued the lady, in a charm ing musical voice. "A letter from me, Madame 5" re sponded Frederic, in a tone of sur prise. "Yes; did you not write to me?" "Never, Madame, to my kunwledje," was the respectful rej Tinder, "You wi. I kindly exj-se me," con-, tinued the lady, "I have made an absurd mis.ake. ai.d my only excuse is that you so greatly resemble a friend of mine that I mistook you for him Ureat heaven 1" she added, much confused ; "what must you think of me? Aud yet the resemblance is strik ing." Ere the lady bad completed her ex planation, the carriage bad been driven into a magnificent hotel. Frederic, of course, tillered his hand to assist his companion to alight. "I would explain further, Monsieur," continued the ladv, "I am Lady Mel ville." De la Tnur bowed. I$y the beauty of the speaker he was positively dazzled, and accepted with delight an invitation to call. ' My name is Frederic de la Tour," he said; "I am only a struggling artist." The singular meeting described had resulted, us lias been said in the oiai riage of D ? la Tour. "Come and sit beside me." continued Madame de la Tour. "I have some thing to say, but cannot speak while you remain kneeling. It is quite a story, and moist be t. - Id to you." Frederic obeyed. 'Once upon a time," contiuued Louise. "I knew you would tell me some fair story," exclaimed the young husband: "but while von saealt it is music." "Nay. listen to me, friend. 0 ce upon a time there was a young girl, born (if parcels who had once been rich. At the a je of fiiteen she was br light to Paris by he Cither, who found that at Lvons he was gaining bat little money. For four ye us that father struggled against adversity, bat fi tally illne-s seized him. To be brief, d -ar Frederic, he died in an hospital, and s mil the mother followed, and the younj eirl was left alone. Had there been a fury in the story I relate, she certainly would have appeared, but there was none. The girl was in Paris without relatives, without friends, without means to pay. She sought work, but obtained none. "Time passed. At length every cent was gone, and for twenty-four hours no particle of fond passed ho lips. 01)1 Frederic, voti who have never known hunger and misery cannot undeistund the suffering I might picture, cannot know the pain endured when forced to beg, aud jet to iaaplor alms lbs girl WELDON, N. C, SATURDAY, was compelled. At dark una eveeiii" the crept forth from her lodging; iut) night was cold and rainy. In her des peration she accosted a young man, wlm nailed, searched bis pockets, and then threw her a coin. At this iuslant a sen j i . . . b u urme perceived ine glil. "'Come,' ho said, 'I arrest you for begging. You fullow me ts the lock up.' "At lliese words a cry of despair was wrung Irooi Hie lips of tho unfortunate woman. Qiickly the young man inter- pi S.'d. " 'This young eirl is an acquaintance nf mine; I know her; there is no beg ging in the question. Come,' he con tinned, addresiiij the trembling girl, 'it is lime you wc-e nt home. 1) a not fear, it wus only a mistake on tho part of this good guardian of ihe public pence.' 'Leaning on the arm of tho stranger the girl walked on. -1) ) not fear, Mademoiselle,' whis pered the yiiung man, placing a purse in the hand which lav in his. 'I will accompany you until we are out of siMit of Cerberus.' " "Why; I remember the girl," ex claimed Je la Tour. "And also know the man?" "I do. It was no other than my self." "True. As we passed bcjiealh one of the street lamps I saw your face, aud i:s every feature became impressed upon my mind Y ou had saved mv life, and perhaps even my very honor, and 1 had reason to remember you." "To remember me?" ' Indeed, yes. You little thought that the woman to whom you gave alius and prnteclou would bec niie Lady Melville, and was your future wile." "This does indeed seem like a dream," sai I ! Ia Tour. "T i you ; but to me it is reality." "A-d you, s beautiful, s i truly lowvy, henged in the open street?" "O ne, and once only." 'I did not see your f.ice." "No ; for il was covered by a veil. O i the following riav one, in fact, that I regard as one of the happiest in my life an nl d ladv iu whom I had fortunately inspired ennfi lence and some interest, engaged ine as her seamstress My gaiety returned. From ihe service I have named I was raised to the postion of companion and confidential friend. 0 ie day I was presented to an acquaint ance of my patroness, Lord Melville. He was a man of ubout sixty, tall, thin, hut of dignified bearing. " 'Mademoiselle,' he said, addressing me, 'L know your history. Will you marry ine?" " -Marry you?' I questioned, much surprised. ' 'Yes. I have an i ivnenso estate, which I do not wish my nephew t ) in herit. My health is delicate, and my life lonely. If I can credit all I have been told, you ure good and pure. Will you become Lady Melville?' ' I love you, Frederic, wha luie.v not of mv existence. I lowed you, although 1 had seen you but once. I c mid not forg"t, and there was something in mv heart and soul that t ld me we s'io ild meet agiin, that our lives would run in the stll-sima current; h iw, I k niw not, and yet I !elt s ire. When I looked at Lird Melville, and saw his resolute ex pression of face, I feared he simply wished to marry me iu order to carry out his revenge, "11 is persuasions were redoubled. I knew that his years were many, nnd that niy fortune would be great. 1 thought of you and how I coal J benefit you did I but p iss.'s wealth, and at last I yielded consent, nud becamo Lady Melville." ' II mv strange it : seems," replied De la Tour. "Yes, dear love, as you bate said, like some lairy tale. I, a poor, fiieud less orphan, become the wile of one of ) inland's riches', peers. "IL.ppy Lord .Melville 1" exclaimed Fieilcic, "lie had the power to enrich you." "lie was happy," continued Madame do la Tour, "jini never regretted his choice. 11a knew that I had suju you be'ere our mai i iage," "Y ni told him?" ' Yrs, ull. It was not until nficr our marring, Fiederic, that I again saw you, and uUhoiih we s on learned t read eaeh other's h'-arts, our lips were silent.

"Aid you won tho Live ot that man?" " iVithnul his knowing ma to be the beggar wnin i i his kindness had pro tected," rej pined L luis.i do la Tour, ex tendi g her hand. "You tmii-oiber," continued the speaker, "that I refused the purse.'' "Yes, you accepted but one coin." "Only one, and at that time I was almost starving." "Hut it procured you food." "No," replied Madame do la Tour, unclasping a ruby necklace thr.t encir cled her white throat. To this uetklace hung an exqaisie mcdalliou. "See, dear Frederic. I did uot part with my treasure," As she spoke she touched a spring aud disclosed a coiu. ' It is the one I gave you 1" exclaimed Do la Tour. "Yes," "And you retained it?" "I would sooner have parted with my life. I showed it to a baker, and asked him to truset me. He did 60, and the following day I was able to pay for ihe food his kinduess permitted me to cat" "Ye, my dear, I know you, but you did nut recognize inc." "Snrelv, there has been a fairy io my life." replied he. "Why do you say so?" "Ilei'iiuse, when you saw me first, I was only a poor, struggling painter, but from the time of our meeting the lido changed, and prosperity visited me." "Would you know the namo of the fairy f" "It was you, Liniso," exclaimed Fred eric, joyfully. "You bought my pic ture?" 'Many of them, and have won your love " "Yc, mv heart, my very soul."

This inoroinp, at 10 o'clock, Ilev, Henry Ward Keecher and his wife, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Fond, Superintendent l'attou, and a rep liter uf the Chronicle, visited the bonanzi mines. When the patty reached the dressier- rooms of the C. and C. shaft they paused a moment. When shown the rough clothes which are placed at the disposal of visitors Mr. lleechcr said : "All right; this suits me; liu-ry up. now." I i a few minutes the dressing was completed, aud Mr. LVecher remarked that if he knew where the pay ollice was he'd go nnd draw some wages. All hands s um got on the cage, and gelling off at the drift which connects with the bon anzi mines, Mr. licecher was particu lurly anxious In gain information about minii'g matters, and piled Mr. Fatten with quesli ins on each detail that came beneath his notice. Nothing escaped his eye, and he wanted a reason for everything. After a while Mr. Fallon's face w ire a troubled expression, and he seemed to have nn idea that the inquisi tive ditino was a spy sent out by some of ihe New York brokers to get points on the mines. Presently the party reached a drift where the beat w is intense, and Mr. It.-echer began to think that after all he had it knocked the bottom entirely out of hell. ' Is there much more of this?" he in quire f, as he niped his njck and face wil'i a ton el. "It will get cool as wo gfl along," sai l Mr. l'.ilton, "1! it it don't get cool; I'm getting hotter every minute." l!y way of a j 'ke the rest of the crowd professed that it was quite cool, and nil that was left for Mr. 1! ether to d was t i gronl ut tho terrific heat, take nu extra sti'ch in his pants and stumble ul ing. Mrs. Keecher stood the heat well, and said she rather liked it. The fact of the matter was that Mr. Pond had determined to revolutionize Mr. licechei's ideas about hell, and, taking the hint from Mr. Fatten, had dressed hi in with thick, warm clothes, and the result was that the unfortunate man was al nost suff calcd. Tho word was soon passed along the drifts among the miners that IS.'echer wns there, nnd when the party returned to the cooling statior, scores of the niineis were gathered at the spot to get a In k nt the fari ous preacher. He chatted with a lew before gelling on the cage, a id said afterward that lie had never seen better physical men. SubsC quenly tho party inspected the pan-mill and assay office, a .d were delighted with the tiip. HOW IT FEEL TO BE STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. K-.'.

A few days age a citizen, who had been on the lookout for a parrot for some time, was riding by a house on Prospect street, when the very bird he wanted was suddenly discoiered. Hav ing convinced himself that Foil was a good talker, be soou struck a bargaiu. and bore her away from tho colored woman, who needed cash more than pels. Ten days passed, nnd yet Poll did not utter a Dote, though she had every care and seemed healthy enough. The former owner was sent for to solve the mystery, and there was a huge grin on ber countenance as she obeyed the summons. "Nuflii' ails dat bird nnfTlii' l'all 'cept dat you doan' understand him," she explained as she looked into tho cage. Placing the caso on a chair on the verandah, sho g ive it a shake, drew a long breath, and began : 'Now, den, you infernal, mis'ble lyin', cheatiu' -1 wake up an' gin us 1 an' 1st dis gem'len .?e dat vou am all right, an' I doan' be sulkin' 'round no mo' I Wake up dar I you blackgunrd I Hoop ep dut voice, ye villunl" The parrot immediately woke up and began chattering and singing, and iu a minute was altogether a new bird. "Y'er see, dis yere bird mu-t be swore at rig'larly twice a day," explained the woman, ' or he won't gin a single squaw. He's been brung up dat way, au' ye'll liev to humor him in it." "Uut I cau't swear nt him, woman I belong to the church 1" exclaimed the citizen. "Den de missus will hev to, sail." "My wife swear I" "Well, den, git do hired man, kaso dis bird hrz got to be swored at, an' donn' you fnrgit it." "Well, then, I don't want him at all, and you may take him away.

Free Press. IN DE LORD AND MY DDG. Atlanta Constitution. The most of our city readers nro fa miliar with the figures of an old blind negro which has appeared on our streets for the past week or two without any guide. The old fellow goes limping along, beating his way carefully with bis stick, and halting every ten steps to be sure that be is on solid ground. It i pitiful to watch him. lie stands on the side walks in the midst of the hurrying throngs, bewildered, trembling and un certain, Hiiciiiiscioiis uf who or what is rti"hing by him. He reaches nut timid ly with his slick, nnd finding that it taps on good pavement, he steps up to il and reaches out for a new adiance. On yesterday he was passing slowly by our office, when suddenly some one, holdi g an uplifted umbrella, brushed by him hurriedly. The points of the umbrella struck him sharply over the head. The old fellow halted abruptly, beinc evidently mystified us to what it was that hit him. He stood iu his track, rubbing his hands acruss bis face, won dering what it could have been, and whether or not i; would cn-ae again. It was then that we asked him bow it was that he got along without uny one to guide him. "I trust iu tie L ird," he said, "aud my little dog." We noticed as he said this a little good natured looking (L-o (is this the way to spell il?) sitting between his legi. Seeing that ho was not connected with the old fellow by a string, we asked huu Ii i w it was the d ig helped him. "lie don't lead me." he Slid, "but bo notices me mighty close, and carries me homo straight. When I start home he cues alon" rii;ht by mc, and when 1 turn a corner, if ii ain't the right way, he will rti'i au iiost me, nnd keep but ting at me till I get in the tight street. No matter what pait of town I'm in, he knot's where home is. S nni'limes he takes me home when 1 nio t ready to go. He takes a notion that it is lime we were getting there, and he just buis ut my leos till he makes me go his way. and the first thing 1 know I find myself at home.

FELLOW And here e may offer to those wlin would live ciimfoitably a little counsel upon the method of managing one's fel low creatures. Never be so weak as to consult their comfort when it interferes materially with your owe ; never stay listening to a story when you would pre fer to be telling one yourself, but imme diately break away from the egotistical wretch, conning your retreat with as thick a varnish of good-breeding as you Can manage, unl-ss, ol course, your en tertainer be pour, and of no reputation; iu which case you cau beak away with out any excuse nt all. A'love all, never be afraid of ordeiing your fellow rrea- tores about. I! ght persons out of ten do as they are told, and tlio looeer one lues, the more plainly dues one observe the similarity between masses of human biiigsand finks of sheep, who will contentedly follow their lea lor through a miserable gap in the quickest hedge, while a fi c-barred gate close hy is wide ope i ready to admit them. Therefore, order boldly, and you will bo obeyed Ljt re neoiber a great deal lungs on the word boldlr; for if you make a mis take, and express your desire in a dilfi lent, hesitating way, as though there were any chance of a refusal, you will probably get iho refusal. Everything comes to him who waits, is no, wns a proverb. The last reading of it is, 'i;,erything comes to him who aks." Do you war.t a situation in your friend's banking establishment for your Hopeful, whose ideas of his father's purse are on too liberal a scale well, go and ask for one, nnd it refused ask again, and si nn la ''ii no uiilil you get what you want.

It is a huge granite stone iust in the edge of the river, on l ho Wash ington side, and was used from time inimemoiial as a a place of burial bv Indians. It lises about 20'J feet ubove the water, is several hundred yards in ength, covered with a dense forest of pines and fir trees at its base, and on top is bare and broken with nn.netise fissures. A single fir tree stands up in its points like a solitary sentinel abovo the resting place of ihe Indian warrior. The indians were accustomed years ago to bring their dead here for interment. The corpse was placed in the canoe used by the departed in life, nnd nt bis side bis bow and arrows, bis pipe nnd blankets and all he owed on earth, and then he was laid away in some cleft uf the reck. ft-rwards the Iriends ol the d:'partd would return to bring supples nf dried salmon and other edibles, which they imagined the d 'ad needed iu the hunt ing grounds of the Great Spirit. Finally the sac: ilegious pale-face, being in need of canoes for mundane purposes, found it more convenient to borrow thoc of the dead broves than make his own, and acted accordingly dumping tie bones of the depaited chiefs into tie crevices of the rotkt and bearing off their blankets.
