"Some feelings are to mortals given, With less of earth in tbem than heaven, And if there be a human tear From passion's dross refined and clear, A tear so limpid aiid so meek. It would not stain an angel's cheek Tls that which pious fathers shed Upon a duteous daughter's head." - True to his word. Palmer made hia appearance at Sunny eide on the morning following his interview with Mrs. Marvin in Marthon's Grfive. Claudine received him. and alter spending an hou. be went away, car r7ing with him a very cordial invi tatiou from that young lady to call again. A few days later he made a second vinil. Claudine was out and Violet was in Mrs. Marvin' room as sisting her with some faney needle work. "How very annoying 1" Mrs. Mar vin exclaimed, when Caroline brought in Palmer's card. "Claudine ia out, and I do not know who" is to meet him except you will, Violet, love," turning. her luminous eyes on the sweet face of the young girl, who glanced up, saying with a merry laugh: 'Ifeir, mamma, Mr. Palmer would not feel very bighily flattered if he were to hear you. But certainly I will meet him and do my very best to entertain him until Claudine re turns, and then you will please send her in, as I wish to write soiu letters to ray old schoolmates this morning.' 'Thank you, love, it will be quite a relief to ue if you will entertain him for a little while, and I will send Claudine to the parlor the moment she returns. Violet arose with a bright smile, and laying aside her work prepared to go down. Innocentshildl she little suspected how wicked beans were ploitiug to destroy her peace, and what a sorrowful future was await-' ing for her. When she" entered the parlor, Pal mer arose and came forward to meet her with outstretched hands. 'What an age it has been since I saw you last! be exclaimed. 'And how well, how charming you look!" 'I fear you are trying to flatter nae. Mr. Palmer.' 'You are one of the few whom I dare not flatter,' he said, allowing bis eyes to fall that he might uot en counter her pure, earnest gaze. "I trust you would not flatter any on,' she answered gr.ntly. With you for my sweet teacher I would not,' was the low reply. Violet drew her hand from his clasp, sayiug with a touch of coldness in her face and voice: 'Mr. Palmer, I cannot listen to you.' 'But you must! Miss Marvin, you must be my teacher, my gentle guide. A deep flush rose to the young girl's delicate cheek, and. rising to her leet, sbesaid with quiet dignity: Mr. Palmer, t am surprised that you can so far forget your manhood your sense of houor, but since ou have, I beg that you will -xouse me, I cannot listen to you.' Palmer sprang up with a look of well feigned astonishment. 'Good heaveus! is it possible that I am misunderstood? You must think me the veriest villain that ever breathed Pray be seated, Miss Mar vin, and allow me the privilege of explaining.' Well? she questioned, returning to the sofa, while Palmer seated him self by her side, and went on in a softly modulate 1 voice: 'You thought Miss Marvin, that I endeavored to win the promised bride of another, but uuch was not my intention my deepnense of honor would never allow me to be guiuy of such au act. When 1 asked you to De my guide and teacher, my mean ing was, that since you could not be nearer, I desired you to bo my friend aud sister.'' Oh 1 she said, a great look' of re lief coming over her face. 'You will accept me' for a brother and friend, will you not? I have i;o 6ister, Miss Marvin, no near relative. 1 stand all alone in the world, and with you for a gentle friend and guide I would be iu a measure hap py and content. i will be your friend. Mr. Falmer. but 1 fear I will make a poor guide,' she said softly. 'You will make one of the best and truest Heaven could have given me, and now that you have made the dear valued promise 'My hope, my heaven, my trust must be, My gentle Guide in following thee.' he quoted softly, as he raised her hand to his lips. There was a slight noise at the door and both loo&ing up, saw St. Orme who had entered unannounced, &a was' standing in the doorway pale and stern. - ' 'Ormel' Violet cried, a soft, rich color staining her cheeks. 'Good-morauig. Mr. St. Orme, Palmer saidy in his blandest tone ' St. Orme turned from him wit1! quiet scorn, saying fret-singly; Miss Marviu, can I see you alone?" Yes, in the front parlor. , Excuse me a moment, Mr. Palmer.', - Rising as she spoke, she led the way, followed by Orme, whose 'face wan white with suppressed passion Entering the room, she pointed hiin to h chair, but he refused 'I shall not detain you long, Mihs aiarvin, irom your agreeable comia ny, therefore will stimd while 1 re mam.' . There was a stern, passionate ring iu uib voice, ana toe young girl grew pale and caught het breatit. " 'Orme, what do you intan?' she-faltered. . 'What did the scene in the parlor meant' he demanded, as he caught ner siftnuer oanas in a vioe-libe raD. "The scene in the parlor! What scene?. 1 do not understand. Oh, Ormel you hurt my hands,' her sweeties quivering with pain. ' He dropped toein. with a harsh lau ih. . 'Would 't. could hurt your heartl Oh, what a nhow of imi'X'ciiee J" he -rid. as the color fl'-d from her face Violet! Violet! why in heaven's name have you dcf ivd me?" 'I never di-ceived a 03 imr iu my iife,' he saul. and th quiet gentle nexH ot her voice ar- steu fr a mo ineiit the Sturm of words upmi his lips, then he broke out-aaui: Never deceived I Why I saw Palm t raise your hand to hi lips. Violet I Viulet! i did uot expect this of y' u!" H-r lips quivered, and a storm of tears darlened her ej es, as she said: "Orme, is this 3Tur eonfidmce in me? If so. the relation between us had best end at once. So far as Mr Palmer is concerned he had only iifked that I v o.ild be Ins friend and sister, and I had promisi him that nothing more " That was all St. Orme heard. The next moment he ad the girl in the strong shelter of his arms, aud was saying wiih proud penitence: "My love! my dear one, fcrgive my mad. unreasonable jealousy ! I love jou so dearlj'. Violet, you are my life, my light, and when 1 saw Palmer lift your dear hand to his lips, I thought at once that I was drcived, that you were false to me, Violet.' 'And you made mesufferso, Orme?' 'But you will forgive me, my dear one, for the sake of the great lovo I bear you.' "There is little I would not for give you.' she said softly, and agnin there was perfect peace between them. We will now return to Palmer. As St Orme and Violet quilted the room his pale eyes glowed with wicked joy, and sinking back among the cuhsions of the sofa, he muttered: 'What a lucky thing! Fortune will favor me yet.' A side door opened as he spoke, and Mrs. Marvin glided in with her ac customed cat like tread. 'You have been singularly favored this morning,' she said with a mean ing sn.ile. 'Nothing could have been more opportune. St. Orme is furiously jealous.' A low, purring laugh dropped from Mrs Marvin's lips. 'I fear only oue thing now." 'What is that?' 'We were eaveddropped yesterday.' . 'By whom?" 'A man who threatens to expose u If we could get him in close confinement we would have nothing farther to fear.' r 'But is such a thing possible?' '1 think so, if there is any place in which to coutiue him.' 'I can furnish a prison,' Palmer said, after a brief silence.' 'Weil?' she breathed, b nduig for ward, and fixing her eyes on his sin ister f.tce. "I will take the fellow into custody if you will manage so that I can get my hands on him. There is a sub teranean pa-sage connected with Hermit's Rest, and this passage leads to an apartment the walls of which are of solid stoue, aud so eompacllj- 011 in mat it is wunin linen a living tomb. It is not known to any one except my self, and I only discover ed it a month ago. Now, if you can throw this troublesome fellow in my way, and I can get him into this chamber he will bo as comoletelv buried as if the earth had opened and swallowed him up. ' - Mrs. Marvin's dark face flushed, and gleamed and glowed, as sue said emphatically; "In less tnan a week he shall go to his living tomb!' 'Very well, I will hold myself in readiues,' Palmer said, addiug after a moment; 'I have the promise of Miss Marvin's friendship for the fut ure.' 'You nave?' 'Yes." ' 'Then all will be well.' -'I trust so,' Palmer replied, rising to take his leave. As he was saying his adieu, a dark form rose from the door outside aud glided away. An hour later, Violet having takeu leave of her lover, tapped at the li brary door, calling sol 1 ly : Tapa. may I come in?' 'Uirtainly you may,' he said, throwing his paper aside aud holding out his bauds. 'Come!' he added, drawing her in a close embrace. 'My Voef 8 Violet," he said, fond ly kissing the tender mouth, and passiug his hand caressingly over the shining waves ot her brigut hair, v lt is quite strange, papa, dear, the girl saiu,' I never saw my mother, and yet there are times when my heart almost aches to see her dead, if not her living face.' 'It is indeed au odd desire, my darling, aud one that can never be realized for the lovely form and the perfect features have long since crumbled to dust,' hesaid sadly. 'Violet, have you returned to your infantile days?' cried Claudine. bhe was standing 111 the doorway, her sunshade in her band, aud a con temptuous sneer upou her haughty lip Violet started up from her father s bosom with a lignt laugh, and Mr. Marvin glanced acound, saying: Thouh seventeen Violet has nev er yet emerged from her infantile days, Claudine, and 1 am necessari ly compelled to do a certain amount of petting; else she would droop and fade like a neglected flower. ;Oh, papa!' she cried, putting her fair hand over his mot th, while her eyes epai kled mtrnly, aud the rosy dimples hid in ber del.cale cneek . At that moment there was a peo.i liar nois at the dixr, and Mr. Marv in glancing around gave vent to au exclamation, as nis eye took iu tne outline of the queer apparition fram ed in the door way. It was the form of a tall, dark man, enveloped iu a soiled scarlet cloak reaching almost to his feet. A weird looking .jbct be was with his long black hair wildly disheveled and falling lo-v upou uis gaunt shoul ders. His eyes, large, black aud burning, roved about the room uutil they rested upon Violet, then he made a step forward, raised bis long, thin hand an t exclaimed: TO Eg CONT1XPKD.

In the Congressional library at Washington theie is one book which, amid th - myriad tones of bibliothecal lore that adorn the walls of the cele brated gathering, commands and re ceives the attention and admiration of those who pass through its spacious aisles. It is a Bible. To describe it literally, it is of size about fifteen by twelve inches; its leaves are of parch meiit, and n evert page are written two columns of sacred truth. At the head of every page, as well as the be ginning of every chapter, the initial is beautifully expressed by a large letter in colored inks, and within its compass is portrayed some figure or character illustrative of the chapter which follows. Not a stain or erasure is seen upon a single page; amid the long record of Bible truth tha words of Jehovah and the teachings of Jeans seem more strikingly grand and beautiful from the purity of the page, the beauty of their transcrip tion. Five years were exhausted in this toilsome work, and the' result was a production unequaled in the handi craft of art, and unexcelled in all the works of literature. The book has its own keeping; within a glass re ceptacle its pages lie oper. for inspec tion, and when oue more curious than another ventures to lift the lid of the case, it is only to fiud that ev ery page is spotless and every letter perfect. A beautiful legend is connected with this book; that long years ago. in the fifteenth century, one who bad immured himself in monastic life for certain! great sins which he thought himself to have committed, sought by prayei s and this system of penanc ; to propitiate the divine faor. Five years of patient, unremitting toil were given to the task. Day dawn and night darkness found him ever and devotedly at his work, un til at last the final pae was written, the last word inscribed. He lifted the page and kissed it, and. closing the leaves, turned from his labors for rest. The day was pasbing imo dark ness when he lay down to sleep. It was the peaceful repose of the woary 'nd heavy ladeoed; his spirit was axlialed, and the morning brought no awakening. The silver cord was loosed, the golden bowl was broken, aud 'in the goldeu streets of that new and better "life wherein dwelleth righteousness," he was forever at peace. Beautiful, grandly beautiful, us was this magmliceut transcrip tion, it was not all that was needed to secure the divine acceptance. An easier path is opened to us, the whis perings of infinite love come falling upon our hearts, "I am the way. the truth, and the life." The narrow way is open, the pearly gates of heaven are ajar, aud we who will enter in. assured of the joys and re wards which are promised hereafter to the chosen people of God. She Was Not Deid. Atlanta American. In London recently a well known artist of the camera was called in to photograph the body of a young lady who ha-i just died under peculiar and distressing circumstances. The body was laid o;i a sofa in the draw ing room and presented a singularly beautiful spectacle. The photograpu er was left alone in the room with the body aud took a negative. After in specting it he was not satisfied that the exposure had been sufficient, and he took another. And then, to his amazement, be discovered that the two negatives were not alike. The body mut have moved. Not hav ing lost all his nerve by this extraor dinary occurre ice, he took a third negative, which was exactly like the second. He instantly summoned the iur.se who had been in attendance on the deceased girl, and after some difficulty and delay had the docier fetched. To cut a long story short, the youug lady was uot dead at all. Tuis is a true story. ''My SmokB-Huage." Youth's Companion. A man who lives in Albany, and whose business is that of clerk, said that ho had lately built a house that cost him three thousand dollars. His friends expressed their wonder that he could afford to build so fine a dwelling. "Why," said he, "that is my smoke-house." "Your smokehouse! What do you mean?'' "I mean that twenty years ago I left off smoking, and I have put the money saved from smoke, with in terest, into my house. So I call it my smoke house." Pimples, Sores, Aches and Pains.

'Did any of you ever see an ele phant's skin!" inquired a teacher of an infant class. 'I have,' exclaimed one. 'Where!' asked the teacher. 'On the elephant, 'said the boy, laughing. Sometimes this sort of wit degen erates or rises, as the cae may be iu to punning, as when B'lora poiuted pensively to the heavy masse of clouds ia the sky, saying: 'I wonder where those clouds an going!' and her brother rpplied: 'I think they are going to thun der. Also the following dialogue: 'Halloo, there, how do you sell your wood!' 'By the cord.' 'How long has it been cut!' 'Four feet.' 'I mean how Ions has it bsen since you cut it.' 'No longer than it is now.' Deadly Weapon. New Berne Journal. The carrying of deadly weapons concealed is condemned by th vir tuous and the good of all communi ties. It is a practice hurtful to so ciety and dangerous to individuals. It is indeed a rare thing that a valid excuse can be rendered for carry i;ig about one's persou a eoacealed weap on. But man ia a progressive animal, and while a little while ago it was easy enouzb. to determine wh.it. .-. meant by "a concealed weapon," it is uow difficult to determine. A-distinguished Judge one whose learning has long adored the judiciary of North Carolina has decided tbat a clam is a deadly weapon, and no appeal has been taken from bis de cision, and should an appeal be taken the judgment of the Superior Court will bo affirmed. It is possible that this adjudication might lead to the abolition of clams, but for the fact that "The Deadly Greenback" baa been fired on and its extermination demanded. Current literature says: "The last item of news from the laboratory is that the deadliest of bacteria live and multiply on the bank notes that we handle. Probably there is not a viler article that we ever touch than a bank note. Car ried iu the pockets of the most lep rous aud loathsome, it passes through the pocket, of the refined. We would not think of taking a pocket hand kerchief that had made any such round without washing and fumigat ing. We could not be induced to put on the shirt of a tramp, but the money of the diseased and contami nating goes without a thought iuto our inner pockets. What disease we hug we do not think or care." Now, we are in favor' of the most rigid laws against deadly weapons, provided, that said law shall not ap ply to clams and greenbacks.
