No other are resounded through the forest with such a 'clear "and-de-cided ring as that wielded by Thomas ; none other so sure of its airn, while raised between the sky and its destined rest. :-'". ; -:-:''-' His voice was the most cheerful and his carol the merriest that rever berated in the beautiful woodland that extended 'through the Khineland to the borders of Holland. Wherever his hands were employed, the work was accomplished in half the time. "The merry Thomas," the 'magnificent Thomas," the "industri ous Thomas," were the names given him by the people far and wide, and when he married and became the fath of a son he was jollier than ever. His wife seemed to partake of his spirit and his boy gave promise of becoming just such a happy soul. -The whole neighborhood were happj in the harmonious life of this joyous trio, while each derived a particular pleasure in witnessing the felicity of the other. But suddenly the light ning flash of circumstances penetratel this happy home. One bright morning, axe in hand, he stood beside a fallen tree, while wife and son stood near, ready to gather the fragments, and they were no mean chips that fell beneath Thom as' stroke. High over his head the glittering steel was raised, and, as his glance noted the reflected ray -of sunshine following it,he shouted merrily, "Wife, see'st thou my meteor ? Hui ! is it not verily like the flash of one?" But the shining metal and its active meteoric light did not disappear within the wood, .(llancing lightly over the bark, it entered Thomas' foot, and there was no time for useless tears. The wife's grieving heart did not vent itsel f in idle lamentations, but questioned, how 1 was ghe j to ; get Jier husband home 1 ,The other laborers had not arriyed. Thomas was always the first at work, as now. he was also the first to regain bis cheerfulness to encourage wife and child in this trial. A spring near supplied water to wash the wound that proved to be severe, and the man ly Anton divested himself of his little shirt to bind it up with. This carefully done, Thomas set his big white teeth firmly together, rose, grasping with one hand the shoul der of his boy, and supported on the other side by his wife, he ordered, "March quick 1 the house is not such a long way off, then all will be well." Taking the shortest route home obliged them to cross over a railroad track. Although this was a borbid den road for pedestrians, they consid ered it the best in this emergency.- But here ; misfortune overwhelmed them in terrible earnest. At the first step the sufferer caught his wounded foot in the rail, stumbled, fell, throwing his little boy into the middle of the road, breaking the lit tle fellow's lew. - y A helpless, living mass they lay there, and before both could be res cued from their perilous bed the steam ing monster of the road came tearing down upon them, leaving their boy. a mangled, bleeding corpse the next instant before them. ' Such was the story told by Thomas and his wife to the horrified'and sym pathizing people. But there must have been something singular and mysterious connected with this mournful event that remain ed untold a secret within their own hearts for, spite of repeated endeavors to have the story told again, they would al way 8 answer, "You have heard it once," while a shudder of horror followed at the remembrance. I left no pains untried to ingratiate nryself in their favor and obtain their confidence. Not only curiosity was excited, but I had a real psychologi cal interest in the matter, and I ac knowledge just the least suspicion of something foul 5 a criminal secret, possibly an : accideni, that I required but little light to lead these people back to happiness. ; r ' i It is net necessary to explain how I brought it about; suffice it is to say that one day, in presence of her hus band r Fran Thomas unburdened her sadly oppressed. heart to me in this be: "AfUr th birth cfo-Jr child I a aj;rtU-al hapj itr, aivi lor-l Thona 4 a U lU-r than ettr Uu be w at my ide, but I rouM al-o ctijoy hit abcn'- arsd not WiUh window and A(r constantly if be fhane to re main away longer than uvual. I utl to UaM: him frequinUy and 'fMjmcbody U welcome to hUl yuu, : nocw I've got my bity.' He would laugh at me then, aayiog : Well, you j have no further ue for me, all ribt,' and playfully leave the room as if in j dreadful anger, and bang the door. j But I knew; he wm only lt fun, and laughed a if I did not care. Xcvcr j thelt!, my heart grew &ad and was j 'disturbed until h'u face again appear j ed at the door, and he would laugh at me with thone great white teeth and say: Husband or child, which?' Then I quickly replied : Husband, oh! the husband !' "But it was so queer, for just a soon as he was with me again, my pi ri t for the teasing returned an I I Would say : 1 1 think it is the child, after all.' "Then he would take the boy from my breast and da uce him joyfully up and down, and say, You are right!' "Then he would give me a good kiss, and thus our little innocent 'jars ' were never quarrels, and ended in perfect contentment." She gazed for a moment silcntl3' be fore her, whille Thomas sat nodding his head silently. "You see," she continuexl, "it is necessary to tell you all this. If it does seem foreign to the real subject, it belongs to it, for it became a mat ter of most heartrending thoughts to us afterward. This question asketl in joke became a frightful fact." The woman was so overcome she could scarcely continue, and her eyes turned a mute appeal for help toward her. husband, -but -'he only shook his head mournfully,- making a motion with his hand as if to bid her speak on, looking into her eyes lovingly, as if to cheer her. " Well, the story we told at the time of the accident was true in every par ticular, up to our arrival at the rail road track. There it was a little dif ferent, and we hesitated in giving the exact manner of the horrid occur rence. We have never fully under stood onrselves why. It would have been better, I think, if we had not made a secret of it ; much of this weary shadow that has clouded our lives would have worn away, had we talked it over with another person.- That is why we give you our confi dence now, hoping an intelligent, right-minded man like 3'ourself will advise and judge if I have erred. "It happened thus : As my Anton and I led father toward the track I imagined I heard the locomotive, but I could see nothing, as a heavy fog lay on the ground, arid I supposed that the monster was far away from us, and the moments were precious. My poor Thomas was suffering terri bly,; saying his foot was burning like caustic, and it was only a step and we would be over, and had Thomas not had the misfortune to stumble, we would have crossed sufely. "They both lay in the middle of the road, Anton to the right of me and Thomas to the left, and in that in stant, their startled cry and the shriek ing roar of the iron monster fell on m3T ear, and, through the dense fog 1 saw his burning, greedy eye fastened on 003- dear one, while the fiery sparks were thickly scattered about, as if hell itself had been opened to devour them. "Oh ! if I live a thousand years, the horror of that moment will remain, as I realized I could save one of them, only one ! .:V::."- ' ' "Ah I sir I human nature ma3' be subject to a million different distress ing heartaches and mental struggles, but heap them all into a lifetime, it is as nothing compared to what I en dured in a few seconds. .. .. "I have often wondered since how it was possible the mind could com prehend so much while subject to such intolerable suffering and fright, as now, thought after thought flashed through my brain in so short a time. 41 My mother-heart yearned for my child, and I seemed to grasp it, while the hand of God Himself seemed to hold me toward Thomas. I thought, was he not thine before the child f Did you not swear at the altar never to forsake him? It seemed, then, as I loved him best; he was more useful on earth. Then I thought, oh ! hor rible raven mother ! to desert your child ! But the thing was upon us. I heard men's voices warning through the mist It was as if they tried to stop it, but failed. It cut the dark ness and rushed toward us : with one bound I turned from my child, grasp-1 ed for my husband, and, with the strength of a giantess, raised him off the track, turned, but the awful mon ster had passed, leaving me the crush ed remains of my child.' She stopped short, as if suddenly frozen in body and soul. Her hus band trembled in every limb, clutch ing at his beard as if it could stead3 1 him. I sat a speechless witness of iuis leariui gnei. jay S3"mpainy naa no words; my eyes must have told them how deeply I entered .with them into this touching history. ? Thomas recovered himself first. Going to his wife he tenderly placed his arm around her. She started with the magnetic touch, looked up at him, and then at me, as if waiting tor me to pass judgment. 1 could oalf tke lu-rtned bvtwtcn tny own am! sy t poor, p-or caylhtr! Nolle wo n2n!

"Just so, just o, wife." He couM scarcely articulate the words for the emotion that conquered him now. Hot tears fell on his wife V hands and face; she, too. uobbed an4 wept with him. They were the first t ars. None were sheil during that horrible time. "You see what it wa that changed me so, all these years, sir. The ques tion constantly appeared before me :' Have you not committed an unpar donable sin against your own tleh and blood ? I could find no rest. M 3 I eaee was gone forever, and 1 told Thomas never again would I dare become a mother " A deep blush mantled her face and she paused. I thought here was the time to -ad vise' and restore hrmaouy to the distressed famity, 1 sail re proach full v to her : " Y.ouap'K'ar onl3' to think of 3'ourself, Frau Thomas Do you not suppose your husbaixl has also uflered nil those 3-ears the same as yoursel f ?" She looked at nie as tonished, and rather abashed, replied:. "Of course he" was miserable to see me so, but, as he could not help me, he let me alone." "Now, Frau Thomas, we have the secret, and that is where you have been unjust, and wronged 3our hus band. You daih' exhibited regret that his life had been saved at so great a sacrifice to yourself. It left him in more '-uncertain' regarding yoiir love for him, and can 3 0U blame him if he dii not think his life too dearly bought? It was noble in him not to reproach 30U for saving his life at the cost of tua one dearer -to. you. Is it not so, Thomas ?" "Trul3', you lave read im' feelings better than I could have explained them. Frequently my heart seemed to break when I realized what 3 0U have said, but I could not blame her, when she had done so much for me." The woman's face was a study. Embarrassment, regret, perplexity all appeared, until for very shame she cast herself upon her husband's breast, begging his pardon. It wa3 his turn to bo 'embarrassed now, and it was reall3 touching to see the man act as if he had done some thing ver3' foolish. I left them confident in their future happiness, and so it proved. In time another child came to bless the sore ly tried mother's heart, but never again the question, "Husband or child ?" What Marks the Skv Blue. The etherai blue color of the sky is due to minute particles of matter which float in the air. With these particles removed, the appearance of the sky would be dead black. It is a fact of optics that exceedingly fine portions of matter disperse or scatter the blue rays of light, coarser portions scatter red rays, still coarser portions scatter all the rays, making white light. The atmosphere is full of aque ous vapor, the particles of which dif fuse white light in all directions. When these particles ' are enlarged, they become visible in the form of clouds. The vapor particles of the white clouds are supposed to be finer and lighter than those of the dark clouds. That: the diffusion of light inr our atmosphere, the blue coloring of the sky and th e colors of the clouds, are due to the presence of matter float ing in the air has been conclusively proven b3' T-ndall. On passing a beam of sunlight through' a glass tube, the beam is rendered brilliantly visible by the reflection of light from the dust particles floating in the air contained in the tube. But on removing the dust particles, which is done by filter ing the air by cotton wool, or causing the air to pass over a flame, the beam of liht is no longer visible in the tube. Scientijic American. The remains of a woman, which had reposed iu a grave in the ceme tery near Wheeling, W. Ya., for six or eight vears, were recently disinter red in order to remove them to another place. Much difficulty was experienc ed in raising them, the weight was so excessive. On opening the coffin the bod3' was found from the neck to the feet to be a perfect specimen of petrification. The form was full and 4 sound : the feet, which were incased in gaiters, filled them as completely 1 as a living suoject, ana tne nanas ana arms were plump and hard as a rock. The clothing was in an excellent state of preservation the fabric pro-ing, when tested, to be quite strong. The head, however, had suffered the decay incident to the period 'of time it had lain in the ground.' C Xorie of the bod ies which rested in close proximity to this had undergone a similar change.

'a blow-with a club in the hands of young Bond broke the stranger's pistol arm and the weapon fell to the floor. Young Bond con tinued to use his club uikii the head of the stranger, who finaly 'lw-came quiet and lay helpless. It was evident to the Bonds that they had won a '-'-victory, but it wa also evident that the3 were all badl' hurt and bleeding. Mrs. Bond struck a light to make a closer inspection, of the field. She recognized in the stran ger who had no business that the Bonds knew of in the house, that he was the umbrella-mender who had called on her during the dav.

The old man and her son were nearly, as help less as the burglar. She got a rojnj and tied the burglar so that he could not get awa3 unaided, got on ahorse and galloped eight miles to Milton after the officers and doctors. She (lid her errand with neatness and dis patch. -.';' -:.'" It was found the burglar's right arm was broken in two places, three of his ribs were stove' in, and his skull had received two fractures. The Bonds, father and son, were badl3, but not dangerousdy, wounded.'- The burglar was not in a condition to" be moved, but the doctors did what they could for him and left him in charge of an officer, using Bond's house as a prison and hospital. All the Bondi went to bed. Soon after the officer was left alone with his charge a wag on drove up to the door and the offi cer was asked to step ouL He sup posed it was the Sheriff, who had come after the burglar to take him to -jail. He, went out to the wagon. There were two men, who asked him how the prisoner was doing. One of the men got behind the officer and felled him with a club,' and when he came to his senses again he found the wagon gone, the prisoner gone, and the bed upon which the prisoner was lying gone. It wa3' evidently a rescue by the other burglars. 4 A Death Bed Interview bt TetJ egrapij. The overland telegraph in Australia extends for 1,000. mile across the wastes of the insular conti nent, and the line is greatly exposed to the attacks of the natives who use the wire to point their spears with, and break the insulators in order to secure the sharpedged fragments, with which they scrape their spear blades smooth. "la order to guard the line, therefore, each station is a fort. On the evening of February 22, one of these stations was suddenly attack ed,' and in the melee Mr. Supleton, the master, was fatal! 3- wounded. The station was 1 ,200 miles from Adelaide, and the sufferer had to be treated for his wounds b3 Dr. Gosee of that place, by means of consultation over the wire. The case was hopeless, howev er, and all that coold-be done to make the situation of Mr. Stapleton some what easier to bear was to allow him to exchange a few parting words with his wife,' who, like the surgeon, was 1.500 miles away in Adelaide. This was done, and the man and woman 7 . ..
