Al JlflTllISTAKE. iQf&j arid fbarVoH the -twilight had darkened over the Stone Tower, un til, Lh ruddy glow of the fire became inetitiiHent 'iapeii the creeping slaaowje,OdrNaiote brought in-the lamp! ' t ' . : : 1 It was a great, low ceiled room, with an antique-carved cornice and a wainscot of oak which reached above' Nannie's shoulder a room where the faded crimson, hangings shut oat the rtyiggdvhghtyraad- e pattern! of the cfpet"1iad loag tecome iodistin- hgtiisbablts- H- A & & s--!? 4 And tue threa blooming, bngut eyed young girls in thig ancient room seemed as much out of their elements as a cluster of rosebuds would have been lying on an Egyptian sarcopba Jfdt .Colonel Uopery liked seclusion and antiquity. Moreover lie liked economy- And when he brought his three niotherless. daughters down to the Stone Tower, iie grimly gave them to understand that they too must teach themselves to like these three aspect of life. 'There's one thing," Colonel Copely. who was a man-hater, added to himself, "they'll get no beaux here ! No girl ought to dream of a beau until she is twenty live years old, at the very least" 1 Which was rather hard on Amy and Nannie, who were nineteen and seventeen, and had their pretty heads full of vague visions of love and lprera. And even little Polly, the youngest, who had barely turned fif teen, had an imaginary ideal in her brain, with dark, melancholy eyes and a brow like ivory, which she hoped one day might be realized in a suitor. j And .upon this windy March night, when Colonel Copely was in the city, and Miss Baird, the governess, was confined to her room with an attack of inflammatory: rheumatism, Amy and Nannie were going to a surrep titious party. i VOf cotirsefpapa wouldn't let us go it he were at home," said Amy. "And we couldn't manage it if Miss Baird wasn't laid up, either," sagely added Nannie. ' "But everything happens for tli6 best," said Amy. "Do look at this lovely, gold-colored silk, Nan. Waaaltjii good of Mary Sinclair to lend ltd three dresses to choose from? I think I'll .wear the gold. colored silk, with this black lace mantle." "And I,'' said Nannie, who was pinkand plump, with china-blue eyes and ridunt, pronze-brpwn hair, "shall wear the white, all brocaded over with pink rose-buds, and the4 rose cqlcj-req satin , slippers. Oh,' Ajnyji5wling,'-pouncing upon her sister- witK a J littlle, ecstatic kiss i "we shan't know ourselves!" "Couldn'tIgo,too?" pleaded Polly, whose gypSy: beauty gleamed in be , tween thrapple bloqm faces of her siatexs'JikfiLa Jacquioiinot rose among white moss-pinks. "Couldn't I wear the pretty garnet silk that you've neither of you chosen?" "Nonsense!" cried Amy. "You are only a child!" "I shall be sixteen in nine months,7 urged Polly. " "And I'm almost as tall as yon and Nannie. And I never was at a grown-up party in my life?"' "Polly," said Nannie, with auto cratic severity, ''hold your tongue ! It's quite out of the question. You are to etajr here, with Miss Baird " Bat Miss Baird is always- asleep in the evening!" whimpered Polly. "So much the better for you," pro nounced" Nannie. "And to look after the house." "The ' house won't run away," pouted- Polly, still rebellious. "That Isn't the question under dis cussion," said Amy. "Get the work basket now, like a darling, and help us tack up these dresses a little, for Mary Sinclair is at least half a head tallr than, we are. And there is no tittle to be lost!" ' t ' Pdlly' drew a deep" sigli and obeyed. "Why was it, she argued within herself, "that she must always be put down and snubbed, and kept in the background, . because" she was . the ycjiingest, and wore short frocks and her hair braided in two Chinese tails down her back. If ever she was a grown-up ; young lady, she'd show them!" v. -s , But Polly got a little better uutured fies Lcr ownsolf for tea, iu tucabsencei ol Mary Eliza, their sole domestic,, whose brother had bethought himself to fall of fever, half a mile of so up rthe'niountain,' at this" auspicious time. oi an otucrs, and to seiccc a ar oi raspberry jam, by way of accompani ment. -Tor Polly, bed not quite teasets and . tali though she was, outgrown tbo ago of delight in playing at. housekeeping. - -And she- arranged . Ljre tea rose buds in her sister's hair, and gave the last dainty touch touch to their dresses Polly was n born lady's-maid the girls declared, laugh ing and looked regretfully after them, as, with their splendor all shrouded in black serge cloaks, they hurried down the frozen road, two raerry, fleeting shadtw k,'Ob, dear, 'oh, tlear!" said Puily,: alond, "Lo w I wish. I wtw going:, tool And wiakifci the tears down, and ran back into the oak-wainscoted room; where, the lamp still glowed., and the logs blazed and snapped on the hearth, so . hurriedly that she never once remembered Amy's fare well caution as to the locking and double locking of the outordoor. Miss "BatrJ was asleep, after her supper and bi-tuedieiae. There was no use goiH;jo liei for compauiou ship ; for &he snored and slept with her mouth open, and was not in the least an ideal slumberei. And the kitchen was very lonesome without Mary Eliza, and even the cat was too drowsy .to purr or frolic with a ball of knitting yarn. . "What shall I . do?' said Polly. "Oh, I know ! I'll try on the garnet silk dress and fancy I'm a grown ap young lady going to a ball!" She was walking up and down the hoor, trying to see herself in the odd Venetian mirror thatihung-aboye the tallj'woodep nmntle, when ; the creak ing of a board in -tho - hall startled her. Flying to the. doxa:,! garnet silk, train and all she came face ;to face with a man. "I beg your pardon!'' he said apol ogetically; "but you did not hear the knook, and" ''What do you want?" cried Polly, all in a panic. 'Go away at once !" "I" called to see if the j'ouog ladies '' Polly waited to hear no more. Vague ideas of peddlers, tramps, bur glars. midnight assassins. floated through her brain. "Yes, said she with an assumed calmness, "they are at home. Please to walk in." And opening the nearest door, she motioned him to enter. As it was dark therein, how was he to know that it was the coal cellar, or that the next minnto the door would be shut and bolted upou him ? "There!" cried Polly, exultantly, her dark eyes Bhining like balls of Are- her cheeks turned from deadly pale to glowing red. "But stop a minute!" pleaded a stifled voice, from the other side of the door. "There's a mistake. I " "Yes," said Polly, "there s a mis take! You are mistaken in? suppos ing that I am to be imposed upon. Now stay there until I call the coach man and the two stable-hands, and unloose the dog!' (Whieh four last be it understood, were entirely a fiction of Miss'Polly's imagination!) She stood a second or to, to con sider. Miss Baird must not be ex cited cr disturbed at least, so the doctor said. Besides of what use could Miss Baird possibly be? "I'll go for the girls," said Polly. "I'll be at the ball, after all!" And folding a shawl about her pretty, taper 8houlders,away she shot, like an arrow, quite heedless of the lace lined train of the garnet silk dress. Hazel Hill, where the ball was being held, was not more than a quarter of a mile from Stone Tower, and, lighted from garret to cellar, it presented a very pretty sight to Polly's wondering eyes. " She posted herself on the veranda, just where a casement had been opened to cool the psrfumed atmos phere of the dancing-room, and there, with big, sparkling eyes, and cherry cheeks, half hidden by the shawl drawn over her head and ears she, watched to catch a glimpse of Amy and Nannie. They were" dancing. Polly would scarcely havoknown them, so radi ant they seemed their exquisite bor rowed dresses set off by ligots, their faces flushed by happy excitement and at last Amy sat down by this very open casement, smiling and fan ning herself, while her partner hur ritd to bring her some'refreshments. All of a sudden a cold little hand fell on her round, dimpled shoulder. She started and looked around. . "Polly! Goodness me! it can't be possible!" Ehe exclaimed. "What on earth has brought you here? Is Miss Baird dead? Has papa come home?" " "No answered Polly," sepulchrally. "But I've caught a burglar I Call Nannie; and come home at once, be cause, maybe, hell break loose." And so Mary never got the refresh ments, and Nannie didn't finish her waltz with a whiskered young gentle man from Montreal And : Harry Sinclair, the brother of the hostess, accompanied them back to the Tower, with the tablet of the waiters, two ' revolvers, and a blackthorn stick which would have done credit to Berry More himself. Thus backed up Polly drew the bolt, unlocked the door and called in stern accents to the sequested victim: "Come out you villian ome at once!" - And a tall, rather pleasant-looking young fellow emerged, shivering with the cold, and having the traces of coal-dust on his white shirt collar and light kid gloves 'Ybo.ary4i?' savageiy.deuuuided hunclair, -tllii -i.-.r - M vo , The. ge4U6.an. presented hh card. . 4,Hy name . tiafwrd,". said he..

The echpse was succosiatly ob served by the astronomers -from their several-stations- in Asia 'and Africa. One important discovryj due to the use of. the spectroscope, is the detection of an atmosphere on the moon. This will again reviva the question of its habitability. The theory of life existing' on the moon has been rejected by - the greater number of astronomers; because, reasoning from terrestrial facts, they argued tuat the attenuated at mosphere of the moon, if it has an atmosphere at all, most be absolute ly incapable of maintaining animal existence. ' That the moon presents the same side to our view is undoubtedly owing to its peculiar shape, which must be slightly conoid. It revolves" around the earth in an orbit nearly a quarter of a million miles away, and consequently describes a circular path about one million and a half miles in length, moving over it -at a rate approaching three thousand miles an hour. The centrifugal force must then be exceedingly great, and as the heaviest bodies are thrown the greatest distance, - the heaviest side of the moon must be at the ex treme of the radios,1 and, therefore, its non-rotation is aecourrted for. Many years ago the German as tronomer Gruithuisen, "tvho made hundreds of observations of ' . the moon, saw and delineated a figure in the northeast quadrant, consisting of a series of parallel walls branch ing off from a straight central line, like the backbone of a herring, and terminating at an abutting wall. This remarkable object was at times indistinct, asf ' obscured by' mist, by the fact of Its existence was at tested by many European' astrono mers, among whom were Prince Mct ternich and Professor Schwabe and Sohmidt, all noted for -the accuracy of their observations! Its discoverer claimed that the figure waa artificial and others pronounced it to be a fortification constructed according to the best principles of military de fense. Subsequently , the fortifica tion disappeared and Professor Beer and Madler, who united in the, study of the moon, deniexT .its' existence, and the charts . published byi them did not contain' a traee pT as they had determined to refect everything not visible through their Berlin tele scope. Bt in 18331 thegure again, appeared,' not in its 'original dimeni sions, not exactly in itar first design but smaller and wjlh modified out lines, one portion being omitted, as if the defence had. 'been V destroyed and were being ' rebuild "' Beer . 'and Madler could , not dispute the evi dence of tteir own , senses and altered their maps accordingly, showing the figure above the ' equator, northeast of the center.

Somewhere about here, writes a Southern, correspondent, lives a small farmer of such social habits that his coming home . intoxicated was once no unusual . thing. His wife urfjed hint in vain' to sign the pledge. . - "Why, you see, he would say, "1 11 sign it after a while, but I don't like to break right off all at once- it ain't wholesome. The best way is to get Used to a thing by degrees, you know." ' i ; ery well, old man' his helpmate would rejoin; "see now if you don't fall into a .hole one of these days, where you can't take care of yourself, and nobody near to help you out." Sure enough, as if to verify the prophecy, as he returned home drunk one day, he fell into a shallow well, and, after a deal of useless scram bling, he shouted for the "light of his eyes" to come and help him out. "Didfl 1 1 tell youVBOT said she, good soul, showing her cap frill over the edge of the parapet; "you ve got into a hole at last-, and it's only lucky I'm. in hearing,or you might have drowned. "Wepf she continued, after a pause, letting down the bucket, "take hold." And he came up, higher at each turn of the windlars,' until the old lady's grasp slipped from the handle, down he went to the bottom again. This," occurring more than once,made the temporary occupant of the well suspicious. 'JLook here, he soreamed, in a fury, at the last splash, ''you're doing that on purpose I know you are !" "Well, now, I am, responded his old woman, tranquilly, while winding him up. once more. Do you not remember- telling me that it's best to get used to a thing by degrees? I'm afraid if I bring you right up of a sudden, you wouldn't find it whole some. The old fellow could not help chuckling at the application of his own principle, and protested that he would sign the pledge on the instant, if she would lift him fairly out. This she did, and packed him off to sign the pledge, wet as he was. Weather Wisdom Lebanon (Pa.) Times.'

The Confederate gray is in strong contrast among those troops, all bemg clad in it, excepting the Richmond. Blues, who look well in their picturesque and familiar uniform. It may be taken as a favorable indication of the tem per of the crowd, that the applause for the blue and gray is equally di vided. The few Grand Army strag glers scattered along the line lead the applause for the "F- F.

As we entered the harbor of Sitka from the sea the general appearance of the place was tropical. I he snowy cone of Edgecombe first ap peared, then the sharp peak of Vos- tovia a triangular patch of white against the sky. Everywhere below the snow-line the mountains were green with luxuriant growth. The harborwas protected against the sea by a curved line of reefs, on which grew firs and pines and cedars, with bare trunks and tufts of branch es, makintr them look not unlike palms. The warm, moist atmosphere curtained all the middle distance with a film of blue, and, in the fore ground, a fleet of very graceful canoes, filled with naked or half naked Indians, completed the illusion. A line of surf seemed to bar every a narrow channel opened. The ship swung sharply to the right i and glided into a long, narrow harbor.
