The soft silvery light of an autumnal moon was resting on a broad expanse of Kansas prairie, and the corn, but slightly touched by the frost, rustled softly iu the balmy breeze, as a couple of rustic lovers slowly wound their way to the little cabin on the hilL They had met by appointment at the Elm tree spring an hour uetore lor a quiet interview, as there was little opportuni ty for uninterrupted conversation in the home where Kate Somers, the eldest sister, acted the part of a mother to a family of healthy, boisterous children. Her father and W unam jciariage, me father: of her lover, had removed from Kentucky immediately after the war, houinsr thereby to improve their for tunes. Mrs. Somers, alwaj's delicate, declined rapidly under the exposure, and increased labor incident to life in the wilderness, -and died in the spriug following their removal. . ' vj William Eldridge had only two chil dren. Frank, who at the time of their emigratidn'was sixteen, and little Wil lie, the gift of a dying'mother, but five. They settled, on an open prairie, py tne side of a lovely stream, anl where Na ture had done all for Jier, children that they could desire,-save m the one re quisite woodland. 1UQ umoer," as the. narrow strips of forest was called, was' fotif ,pf five miles distant, and -was hardly, suitable for the rough cabins the v JbadV erected and the rail fences with which they had Burronnded their farms! much less for building comtorta- ble dwellings. They had found, too, after -a year or two, other draw-backs to prosperity ; so they had indeed been as muclf, straightened as ,they were In their old botnes. Motley, was scarce. The crops were large and raised with much less labor ; but there was no de mand for the surplus m the neighbor hood and the facilities for transporta tion were irot sircfi as would justify them in. sending their grain off. It be came necessary for them, therefore, to devise some mean3 by which ready mo ney might be obtained fur the improve ment oY their farms, increasing .their stock, and furnishing -what was. abso lutely - necessary for - the" comfortable Mmrt of their families. Sosiers had two sons able to carry on the farm work after the plantins, and inthe swing he and the , elder Eldridge,, each with- a team, started to Arkansas for the pur pose of obtaining hauling. In this they were successful, and the whole sumr.'.er was passed in this way, with an occa sional visit home.' Among other ad van-, tages derived, Eldridge had procured j sufficient lumber to put up a comforta ble dwelling. The only drawback, an ii. :n PUt.;! suffered aWit the middle tf summer! while in Arkansas v s.' , , .". , It was of the new homejour lovers were speaking as they slowly apprpacl ed the cabin. . ; -. : i ... - - " I have put np the last rafter to-day, Kate, my girl ; the house will be ready, iritwo weeks, and will the young mis tress I ready for It "then?""; )-.'..,, Kate laughed. . . -. ;. . ,- " 'i he young mistress has no very ex.- J tpnaivfL. pfpnajatioua); t(JJiaaiJe.a!Ul. as you have asked the-same question every week for three years, you might know what the answer would be." ' " o for three years, if ou would be ready in two weeks." '. ' " No, but when you got a home rea dy for me. Seriously, Frank, you know-j I could not have left lather and the boys sooner, and poor little Sue and Bessie would have grieved themselves to death j but now, as father is about to take uuto himself another wife, and one that the children already love, I think I am at liberty to consult my hap-piness-and"yonrs," she added, archly. u And father's and Willie's," added the young man." 4Annt Rachel, as Willie in the kindness of his heart calls lold Mrs. Blunt, has-tyrannizfid over us all long enough and J, will oe glad wnen she takes herself and all her plunder of cots and chickens off. I will leave you, Kate, to make all the arrangements ; what you wish is what I will ; only let's fix the day for Wednesday two weeks." Frank, it may seem a silly notion to yon, and I know it is not customary here ; but I would like to be " married in.the church near where my dear mo ther lies, and on the Sabbath day. You know our beloved pastor will be in the neighborhood then and will preach there the Sunday after the day you propose. Would you like it f " " Certainly, Kate, only I feel so joy ous and brim-full: of happiness I don't know that I shall behaS-e with sufficient decorum in 6uch soleniu surroundings; but as you like it, Kate j I am satisfied," " And 1 know I have been too long from the children and must go in ; but what waa that yon began to tell me a while ago aborlt Wriston ? Yon re member how I disliked him when he Utras here in August ? " . . " I do; and am pretty sure your wo manly iistincta were , correct;' Father had it from good authority a few days ago that Wriston is connected with a gang of horse-thieves. " Yesterday he was'in town with the wagon, and met him on the street. Wriston immediate ly grasped his hand with the greatest cordialit', and .told him how glad he was to meet him, proposing at once to get up in the : wagon and eome home with him... Father. told him outright what he' had heard of him and though he had made obligations to him, he felt he had repaid themduring his visithere, and he did not intend te have him in his house again.? ' Wriston flew into a terrible passion, tried to get father into a fight ; but you know he might as well have gotten hold, of s Moses, he is so peaceable and gentle. lie just got in to the -wagon and drove off, leaving Wriston venting his curses where he chose?' ' j ; " Frank, I am afraid of that man. He has a bad eye, and seems to me to be always listening for something. Did you never notice how he would start at an unexpected knock at night ? "You know" he was here several nights." I don't know that I did j but I am sorry father ever , met with him. lie was taken sick hear hi3 home and Wris ton and his whole family were so kind to him, especially Mrs; Wriston, nurs in"' him night and day, that when the old man came up this way and father met him, old Kentucky'hospitality de manded the Very best we could do for him. - Well, he is gone now, and l hope Kthere is an end of the business' " Gone ? out of the country do you mean?'!

The host ia a jollv, good natured, fellow with a large stock of stale anecdotes and improbable stories of " rdughiDg it in the bush," which.he is extremely fond of relating to all new comers and to old ones if there chance to be no new ones around.' In the midst of "the great buffalo hunt of '4G, which he had repeated for the twenti eth time that season, he was arrested by the rapid clattering of horses hoofs, fol lowed by the bursting into the room of two heated travellers, one of whom de manded if they had seen a ma calling himself Wesley Jones ? , , Of course they had not, '," .

"Gentlemen." said the firstspeaker, turning to the crowd, " four nights ago I had stolen from ray stable a hue ctiest- nut horse, and I've tracked the thief to this gentleman's house. I got there last night, found my 'horse &e one I'm riding now which lie says . ne bought of a traveler, such; as I des cribed, giving for him a bay horse and twenty-live dollars to boot. T believe we are on the right tracK. w np oi you will join us and help hang the tascal?" A dozen men were on their teet in a moment, and "111 go," .."Ita your man," mingled with not a few curses on horse thieves generally, rang through the room. In less than hair hour they were all in the saddle, taking the road down by the grist-mill. Whenever a light appeared indicating a dwelling they approached it as" softly as possi ble, and while the remainder stationed themselves so as to intercept an at tempted escape, one of the number would, ou some excuse, go into tue house and reconnoiter .aud ,maKe in quiry as to, whether.' such a character had passed. , Once or twice they pu- taincd encouraging information, and about eleven o'clock approached a log cabin through' the open crevices of which a faint red light from a bed of burning"' coals gleamed forth. ' Bc;b Clark' silently dismounted, and creep ing softlvup to t!ie wallptTecT through a broken place in the chinking of the logs into the room, stretched oeiore the fire were three men, ail asleep -Their onlj bedding was a blanket a piece. One had his head supported by what 6ecmed a knapsacK, and ail naci their feet extending almost to the bed of coals. In the back partof the cabin were two rough, uncomfortable looking beds, occupied probably by the women and children of the family. A moment sufficed to convince Clark that he had found his man. Whether he had got ten into a part of the gang he did not know. " A9 quietly as he had approach ed he returned,' and in whispers com municated what he had seen.. In the meantime Wilson, his companion, had entered the low shed, answering for a stable, and found the bay horse, who showed his recognition of his master by a low whinny, and placed the mat ter berond . doubt. It reciuired no 8tf ategem for fifteen armed men to rush into a log shanty and seize and. bind three tired sleepers. They all protested their innocence, and as there was no proof and no resisteuce on the part of owners ot the house, they were soon unbound. Wriston begged, cursed, d j- fled and prayed by turns. There was no need of asking each others opinion. Every man hollowed out. " to the near est tree with him." Ilis doom seemed inevitable. Suddenly he cried : "Stop boys. If I've got to die I'm not going to die by myself. There's them iuit jest about as deep as I am. There's Fred and JacK isoss on lied river, anu Jim Theb in Green county." " Shut your jaw : we re got nothing to do with them," shouted t iaiK, " Well, there is some you have got to do "'.with rsome of vott has. 1 There's them two llldridges." 8 " Its a lie," cried the-trT keeper. " Don t know 'bout that, Harry seen old man juanctge ana jiv nston together mighty often last 8iimmev,and this Thesley Jones aint nobody but him with his hair died up a little." " That's a fact." said another : " he's made Eldridge's his headquarters." "IU tell you what it is, he staid two weeks in , my house last summer, and lie's stole more horses than any man I know, and is head man or our gang," '"Go fer him, boys, go for all three of 'em.: You rascal you, mount that horse. Sorric of yon fellows that know the way to Eldridge's take the lead." ' ; .Rapiol the band flew oyer the road. Just on the borders of the State they crossed the line about day light, and at nine o'clock come in sight of the El dridge farm. The road lay by Somers' house, and Kate, at her morning work, saw them as they swept rapidly up the road. She recognized Wriston at once through his disguise, and with a wild 1 cry rushed from the bowse into the I fields to tell her father and brothers-r she knew not what but that something j dreadful was going to happen at Mr.l Eldridge's. It was so-netime before she found them, awl then her language was so incoherent little could be gained from it. Mr. Somers, bovever, hasten - ed back to the house with her, and started at once for his neighbor's farm. This much only ho knew a gang, with Wriston at their" r,cad, had gone tbero. ne might have the same reasons for 'visiting his honv but ! dH it Ik-- lieve it j for Kate had told him about the quarrel in town a few dajT8 before. He was wholly unarmed, unprotected, and felt he would be just as safe on the road; or atEldridge's, as at home. ' At any rate it was his duty, come what might, to go to his neighbor. About half the distance, a mile, perhaps had been passed over when he saw by the cloud of dJst rising that the band werei returning. In a moment they were in -there was some disagreement between sight, and he breathed more" freely. j the pair which they couldn't settle sat Kate had been mistaken, Wriston was j isfac'torily, and had agreed to refer to o not there, and they passed them with out any token of recognition. All werc'strangewj he thought, though there ' he was mistaken--evenil of the ciui1 recognized hini. ' af-1 -1th thent,'! ved. Oh, I there as " 1 know - nston was w father. ' I could not be decei hurry, dear father! let's get quickly as possiblei" , A quarter of a mile farther and they met little Willie Eldridge flying to wards them as if for his life. "Oh, Kate!" he cried", "they're killed, hath killed all." and sinking into her arms swooned away. j "Run, father, run leave. W ime wth me. . I can restore liiin. Oh, father dou't lose a minute, maybe there is something j-ou Can do," and the poor half-distracted girl began cuatmg me little boy's hands and face, while her tears like rain fell upon his forehead.' Somers went on. iv hen he reached the gate all was quiet about tlie place. He opened the cabin door. Ail. was just as Aunt Rachel had left it when she fled at the approacn oi tne lyncn ers. - ne then went up to the new build ing, and such a scene of horror met his view as will haunt him to his dying day Wriston, old Mr. Eldridge, arid i rank hanging sitte by siue irou of the beams of the house'j that house around which so many bright hopes had clustered, and which was to have shel tered so much love and happiness." -It was the work of a moment to cut down the two Eldridges, but life was extinct, and the next day a large collection of sorrowing and sympathizing neighbors assembled to convey to their last rest ing place two innocent, upright, and amiable men w no had been murucrea by the revenge of a desperado, and the rash dealings of i band who would right themselves by doing violence to the laws of the land.

(Jinnry (III.) Herald, January ilrt. Candles vs. Oil. We read almost daily some hi-.nt-sickening account of maiming or death from the careless use of kerosene or some other -oiL; These oils, op gretit many of them, are sold all oyer the cotiutiy as non-explosive. Parties Inlying- and using them are made to believe they are harmless, and thus they be come careless, and a greater number of accidents arc thereby produced. There is no doubt about these oils being cheaper than candles for lights, but when we consider the danger, in com parison with the cost, we regard their introduction in the country for general use a misfortune, and the benefits in the way of cost as nothing compared with the suffering and loss of human life, to say nothing of the destruction of pro perty thev have caused. The truth is, noue of these oils can bo considered non-explosive. The very material of which they are composed; forbid such a conclusion This fact can be demonstrated by bringing them to the test. This being the case, will not our readers be acting on the safe side of prudence to discard the use of these oils and go back to the old fashion candle, particularly where the- lights' arc handled by careless and ignorant servants and children ? Many a family would to-day. give all they are worth if kerosene or gasoline oil had never been heard of, and there Is no 1 predicting where the next accident will occtfr.- It may be in your own household. ' If, however, you will continue to use these oils, w e hope this short article' will, at least, have the effect to" cause you to be more careful m handling tnese ,mnaim mable; explosive, and dangerouscoin'- pounds!

An ignorant family in our days is an antiquated institution. It smells of the musty past. It is a dark spot which the light of the modern sun of intelli gence has not reached- Let good reading go into a home, and ihe very atmosphere of that home gra-'. dually but surely changes. 1 ho boys begin to grow ambifiou'', to talk about 1 men, places, principles, boots, the past and the future. Tlie girls btgiu to feel : a new life opening before them in know- , ledge, duty and love. Thy see ncwf fields of usefulness and pleasure. And so the family changes, and out from its numbers will grow intelligent men and -women, to fdl honorable places and bt". . come useful members of society.
