Tlio girl stauds looking nt the pic ture; the man w ho painted it stands looking t the girl. Whnt n sweet fuco it has, bo girlish, so untouched by the sorrows and passions of life! Tiio look of pleased adiuirntiou in the soft eyes gives him an odd sonsutiou of pleas ure. He is glad Unit his work pleases her. The gill is presently joined by a tall, graceful woman. Suiroly gives a slight start. Eleanor!" he murmurs. "Oh, niiimmu," Iho girl is saying, "isn't this a sweet picture? I like it better thau anything I have seen here." Home of the faint, delicate color fades out of Eleanor S niton's beauti ful tire4 fuco ns she looks at tho can vas that has moused her daughter's enthusiasm. "Yen," she murmurs mechanically, "it is a beautiful picture." Aud thou with hands which ore a little tremulous, (die opens her cata logue and seeks the number of the pie tun'. " 'Whero the Blackberries Grow John Shirley.' I was sure of it," she murmurs, and looks again at the pic ture. A Hold, in which there are quanti ties of wild llowers, tall, bountifully colored graven, and bushes laden with berries. In the midst of the bluck berry bttsh s stand a boy and a girl. Tho former is busily picking berries, aud his face is averted ; the litter is a chanuiug little figure in u calico blip and a small pink sun-b outlet pushed buck from a fair baby face, tho pout ing lips deeply stained with blackberry juice. A muss of gold colored curls falls over tho childish brow. A fellow artist has joined Shirley. "Mrs. Seutoli und her daughter appear to bo admiring your picture, Shirley," ho says, "dome, let mo introduce you. Mrs. Seatou is a charming woman." "Aud tho young girl is h -r daugh ter?" says Shirley, iib they move away. "Yes, but sho will never bo tho lovely woman that her mother is," is tho reply, aud Shirley smiles. Some hours later Mr. Senton sits before her drehhiug room lire. There is an unusual quickening of her lan guid pulses. In tho leaping heart of the (ire she sees mirrored all the years siuco she and Shirley gathered black berries in the acre Hold, one summer day long ago. How faithfully ho had reproduced tho scene in his painting! The picture in the tire shifts a lit tle; still the Held with its wild flowers and its laden bushes, but a young msu and a maiden replace the boy and baby girl. Back from tho long post there comes to Eleanor Seatou the t e stacy of that uuforgotton day. Sho seems to feel again upon her lips the kisses of her young lover, and Marts up with Hushing cheek and throbbiug heart. Hut tho picture has faded from the fire and another replaces it. A wed ding party; the bride young and fair of face, and white as her bridal robes; and tho bridegroom uot tho boyish young lover, but a middlo aged, cyni cal looking man. Her youth aud her innocence had caught his fancy, ami she had bartered herself for his gold; hici ilioed truth and honor, and, ns she but too soon realized, happiness also. But she soon learned tho lesson many a woman has learned before her to hide her aching heart beneath a smiling face. Girlhood, happin"'t.s her own hand had slain them. With the coming of tier child something like peace had crept into her heart. Then Senton died, and she was once more free. Of her vi.ung lover she heard nothing. Sho kllew that ho had left the old farm, that he had gone abroad to utility art. Now, after all these years, they met again. Tho farmer's son had become a well kuowu tirliV. A gray haired, worn faced mm replaced the lover of her youth. VOL. XVIII. Tho pictures of tho past hao died in tho leaping flames. Oilier scenes arc mirrored there, aud hopo paints them. "What? Not dressed yet!" ex claimed a fresh, girlish voice. "Have you forgottou that Mr. Shirley and Mr. Halwoll nro coming to dinner, mainuiu?'' With dreamy eyes Eloauor Seatou turns and smiles up into the fair face of her young daughter. Tho girl wears a simple white gown. Sho is wry girlish aud very sweet. "Oh.mamiuii ! How lovely you are!" Uy exclaims, later, as her mother en ters tho drawing room in a beautiful rose pi:ik gown which is exceedingly becoming to her dazziugly fuir skin aud palo gold huir. Aud Kloanor Seutou's cheeks softly flush and her eyes grow radiant. Ski is glad for the first time in unuy years that she is beautiful. How swiftly tho days and tho weeks and the months glide by after that night! Shirley is a frcquout visitor at tho homo of Mrs. Seatou. Then, when the summer comes, Eleanor Sea ton lias a fancy to visit the old farm. Tho artist follows her an 1 her daugh ter. Ono beautiful evening Eleunor stands at the old farm house door. The air is full of tho perfume of roses. The sky is all crimson und gold. The woman's face is beautiful with the soft radiance of it love dream. Then Ray coiiiei tovards her through the roses. The gil'a face is (lushed, her eyes droop. Slio moves blowly to her mother's side. 'Whore have you been, d :ar?" the latter usk, wondering a little at tho change in the girl's face. "To the blackberry field," tho girl replies. "1 went with Mr. Shirley; lie wished to show mo the see no of his painting. Oh, mother," and the girl's arms go about her mother's neck, "In; loves me cvin you imagine it? Ho wants mo for his wifo.uud I I am so happy." Thero is silenco for some moments. Then Eleanor Senton lifts the sweet face from her breast aud presses her lips to her daughter's tluMicd cheek. "I urn very glad, dear, tint you are happy," she m u rin 11 is. Tho Miusct glow has faded from the sky, leaving it pale and cold and gray. Eleanor shivers iu the wurm, perfumed air. Her eyes, to which all tho old weariness has returned, look past tho brown head of the girl towards the field "where the blackberries grow." Mousey 's Magazine.

From the village of Coombo Bay, which lies about four miles from Bath, Eugluud, comes a story of a curious freak c lightning, according to Pear sou's Weekly. Near the village there is, or was when tho incident occurred, a largo wood composed of oak aud nut trees. Iu the center of this wood there wus a small pasture, quito hemmed in by the surrounding grove. Hero six sheep wcro kept by their owuor. The flock being smull, the pasture only fifty yards in extent, coutained herbage sufficient for them. One day while tho sheep wero iu the field a eevero thunder storm came on, aud a fl ish of light uiug killed simultaneously every sheep in tho pasture. It is to bo presumed they wero mourned by their owner, but no doubt considering that they might be of some profit to him, al though dead, he sold their bodies to a butcher iu the neighboring villugo of Coombe Bay. Tho butcher begau his business of skinning the lightuiug atruck animals. To the astonishment of the butcher and his assibtaut.ou tho iuterior of each sheepskiu they found printed an elaborato and faithful picture of tho luudscapo Mirrouiiding tho bheep pasture. These natural pictures were iu no respect Miggestivo of tho impressionists daubs, but the trees, the fouoos, tho rocks, the bushes were all as precisely roprescnte I as if photographed upon tho sidu of tho uniinal. Every detail was exactly drawn. The sheep had been killed while huddled together iu a comer aud tho landscape in each case was the bume, tho picture being of that part of the surrounding sceuery which lay in the path of the lightning flish which killed the frightened animals. Crime That Was Handed I'owu. Professor Pellmaun of Bonn uni versity, Germany, has ma do a special study of hereditary druukeuncss. Ho has taken certain individual cases, a generation or two btck, and lias traced tho careers of children, grand children, and great-grandchildren it all parts of the present Germm em pire uutil ho has been able to present tabulated biogrpthies of tho huu dreds descended from some original drunk a id. Tho last porsou whom Professor Ptllmanii lias immortalized tints it medical literature is Frail Ada Jurko. Sho was boru in 1710, and sho mil a drunkard, a thief, and a tramp foi tho lust forty yours of her life, which ended iu H). Her descendant have numbered 831, of whom 700 liuve been traced in local records front youth to death by Professer Pellmaun. Ol tho 700, ho found 100 wero boru out of wedlock. There wero 112 beggars, aud fil more who lived from charity. Of the women 181 led disreputable lives. There wore in this family 70 convict, 7 of whom were sentenced for murder. In seventy-live years this ono family rolled up a big bill of costs in alms houses, trial courts, prisons and cor rectional institutions. Professor Pell maun says this bill, which the authori ties of Germauy and therefore tho taxpayers have paid, hits boon at leant about $1,230,000. Found a Luminous Crab. On .' of the marine curiosities re cently fished from the bottom of tho Indian ocean by a dredging vessel in tho employ of the Calcutta Society of Natural History was a mammoth sea crab which continually emitted a bright white light similar to that seen iu the spasmodic dishes of phosphor escent luminosity kindled by our com mon firetlieH. The oddity was cap tured in tho day time aud placod iu a large tank, nothing peculiar exoept its iniiueiiso stz i being noticeable iu tho broad glare of the tropical sun. At night, however, when all was in pitchy darkness, tho crab surprised tho naturalists by lighting up the tank so that all the other sea creatures, great and small, occupying tho same tank could bo plainly Been. When the luminous crustacean wits prodded with a pole, ho emitted flashes of light which enabled the experimenters to read small print, oven though other wise they wero iu total darkness.

A few years ago the show was in lluchchtcr, when the cb pliant keeper went into the elephant car to see that everything was secure before the train started.

Beforo starling out a dis count for rainy dtys is ma le by aver aging the rainy days during the past ten seasons. While this is not by any meuus reliable, it affords u pretty fair test. Storms nud tornadoes of Into years have interfered very much with the profits of circuses. Last season the Itanium A- Bailer tent was ruined by a cyclone at Pes Moines. Mr. Bailey at once telegraphed to Cincin nati for a new tent, for which the dimensions were given, and in three days it was mado and erected by tlm show. All the sailniakcrs iu Cincin nati wero employed in making the new canvas. A new canvas is made every year, and the one used the previous year is carried along with the show for enter geiiev. On the occasion ullu led to the old canvas was left behind, and tho bhow exhibited threo days in u tent without a top. Fortunately the weather was fair, An idea of the niuguitude of a bi bhow can bo gained from Iho fact that 1, '200 persons aro employed iu the Baruuni A Bailey show. Tho system observed iu putting up tho big cauvas, taking it down, und packing it iu tho cars, and iu putting all the rest of the stub' in tho cars each night is some thing wonderful- Thero are, perhaps, twenty or thirty foremen who run the whole luihiiiess.
