'Yestenlay I w as t tie w idow of Lord Melville, and tiwlay 1 am Louise tie hi Tour, your wife. You see. strange as it may all seem, you do not dream." Frederic lULi Tour had Md reason to agmiAw f ilrvuhwd x-eu rmd-. dllntr with his allairs. Within a tew n months past lie had enjoyed a streak of inexplieahle jjood fortune.' He had he -como rich and hajijiy heyind his-- fond ett hopes. One afternoon, while re turning from his ottiee, he was, in the Kue St. Ilonore, aeeosted iv a lady, who wa.s driving . In ' a inagnilieent ii'ulpage. "Monsieur! Monsieur!" she called. The footman had lowered the steps, and motioned to de la Tour to enter the c arriage. Astonished heyond . measure, he mechanically oImvhI. I have reteiveil your letter, mon sieur," continued the lady, in a charm ing musical voice. - "A letter from me, madatne?" re sponded Frederic, in a tone of surprise. "Yes, did vou not write to me?" "Never, madame, to my knowhilge," was the respectful rejoiner. "You will kinlly excuse me, mon sieur," continued the lady. "1'have made an absurb mistake, and my only excuse is that you so greatly 'resemble, a friend of mine that I mistook you for him. Great heavens, "she added, much confused, "what must you think of me? And yet the resemblance is striking." Ere the lady had finished her expla nation the carriage had been driven in to the court-yard of a magnificent ho tel. Frederick, of course, offered lfis hand to assist his companion to alight. I would explain further, monsieur," continued the stranger. "1 am Lady Melville." I)e la Tour bowed. By the beauty of the speaker he was positively dazzled, and accepted with delight an invitation tccall. "My name is Frederic de la Tour," haalrt; "A am qijly a strngtrliiiff -ir-tist." The singular meeting described had resulted, as has been said, in the mar riage of de la Tour. "Come and sit beside me," continued Madame de la Tour. "I have some thing to say, but cannot speak whilo -you remaiu kneeling. It is quite a story and must be told to you." Frederic obeyed. "Once upon a time," continued Mad ame de la Tour. "I knew you would tell me some fairy story," exclaimed the young hus band, "but while you speak it is music to me." "Nay, listen to me my friend. Once upon a time there, was a young girl born of parents who had once been rich. At the age of fifteen she was brought to Paris by her father, who found that at Lyons he was gaining but little money. For four years that fa ther struggled -valiantly against adver sity, but finally illness seized him. To be brief, dear Frederic, he died in a hospital, and soon the poor mother fol lowed, and the young girl was left here alone. Had there been a fairy in the story I relate, she certainly w ould have appeared, but there was none. The girl was in Paris without relatives, without friends, and" crippled by debts whiclTshe had no means to pay. She sought work, but obtained none. Vice extended her arms, but there exists souls whose instincts are so honest that they shrink from even the thought.and ran retntJri ftul ri hU tuffT log. "Time fMMJ.

" "Wliv, I remember the girl!" ex vlaiiiieil de la Tour. "And also know the man?" "I do. ..It was noother than myself." "True. As we passed beneath one of the st rei-1 lamps, 1 saw your face, and its every feature became impressed in my mind. You had saved my life perhaps my very honor. and I had rea son to rememlMT you." " To remember me?" "Indeed, yes. You little thought that the Woman to whom you gave alms and protection would become- La dy Melville, and was your future wife." "This does indeed seem like adream," replied de la Tour. "To you; hut to me if is reality." "And you, so beautiful, so truly lovely, begging in the open street ?" "Once, and once only." "i did not see your face." "No, for it was covered by a heavy veil. On the following day one, in fart, I'.'ntJjjtfgrl ei , X 1 . T.I est in my lifi an old lady In whom I had fortunately inspired confidence and some interest, engaged me as her seamstress. My gayety returned. From the service, I liaye named I w as raised to the .position of champion ami confi dential friend. One day 1 w 'as presen ted to an acquaintance of my patroness, Iord Melville. He was a man alxmt sixty, tall j thin, but of dignified iH'ar ing. " Mademoiselle, he said, addressing me, I know your history, will you marry hie ?' " " '.Marry you ?' I , questioned, . much surprised." "Yes; 1 have an immense estate, which I no not wish my nephew to in herit. My health is delicate and my life lonely. If I can credit all I have been told you are good and pure. Will vou become Lady Melville?' " "I loved you, Frederic, who knew not of' my existence, 1 loved you, al though 1 had seen you but once. I could not forget, and there was some thing in my heart and soul that told me we would meet again, that our lives would run in the self-same current; how, I know not, and yet I felt sure. When 1 looked at Lord Melville, and saw his resolute expression of face, I feared he wished to marry me in order to carry out his revenge. "His-'iersuasions were redoubled. I knew that his years were many, and that my- fortune would be great. I thought of you and how I could benefit you did I possess w ealth, and at length I yielded consent 1 became Lady Mel ville." "How strange it all seems,' replied de la Tour. Yes, dear love, as you have said, Tike solnelaTT jSZar,"TT poor, fnendPT less orphan, became the wife of one of Kngland's richest peers." "Happy Lord Melville !" exclaimed Fiederic; "he had the power to enrich you." ., "He was happy," continued Madame de la Tour, "and never regretted his choice. He knew that I had seen you before our marriage." "You told him?" "Yes, all. It was not until after my marriage, Frederic, that I again saw you, and although we soon learned to read each other's hearts our lips were silent. Lord Melville was wealthy be yond my wildest expeciations. He could not spend his income, and with that wisdom peculiar to him he realized that while the difference in our ages rendered love impossible, gratitude would attach me to him. Three months after pur marriage Lord Melville died, leaving me all he possessed, and I re solved never to marry again, unless I could espouse the man -who had always held my heart." "And you won the love of that man ?' "Without his knowing me to be the beggar woman his kindness had pro tected," rejoined Louise de la Tour, ex tending her hand. "You remember," continued the speaker, "that I refused the nurse?" "Yes; you accepted but one coin." "One only, and at the time I was al most starving." "But it procured you food ?" "Xo," replied Madame de la Tour , uuclaplng a ruby tm-! :ht etf r ciJ Ir w bite throat.

"It wa you, Louie!" exclaimed Fiederic, joyfully. "You Ixniglit my picture?" -Many of them, ami have won vour love?" "Yes, my heart my very soul." Frederic de la Tour took the gold piece and pressed it to hi lips. To that same bit of gold lie owed happiness and fortune. "While I am the fairy," continued Louise, "it is you, my dear love, who gave me the talisman," A ljuf rr Tlnnj; To Do. In 18G2 Maria Nutting was a servant girl in Hawley, Wayne county, .She had an eventful life, and in dying, a short time ago, did a queer thing.; In the year above mentioned Maria mar ried a man named Sauiuel Helms. lie was a worthless fellow for work, md was good for nothing In the world but to catch rattlesnakes and charm them, and travel w ith a circus side show. It was a disagreeable sort of business, and Mrs. Helms didn't half like the idea of living with a Bnake charmer. Shortly after his marriage Helms went South, and the wife heard from him no more. Then Mrs. Helms left IIwley, and no one knew whither she had gone. Helms returned in two years and found himself catching rattlesnakes in the wiluernes of Pike county, and exhibiting at fairs. He finally drifted to Binghamtown, X. Y'., w here he opened a saloon, and there learned tiiat his wife was in Dubuque, la., married to a man named Wilson. Helms went out to Dubuque to charm her back. He found her married and comfortable with a man of property. She told him she thought he was dead. Wilson gave her up, and she went back Eagt with Helms. He was more worth less than ever, and failed to do anything for her support. She finally obtained a divorce from hirn and went back to Dubuque and remarried Wilson. He soon died, leaving her several thousand dollars. Mrs. Wilson went to St. Clairs vllle, Minn., and settled comfortably on her money. A man named Jennings well to do saw her, and would not let her rest in widowhood. She married him, and they had a son. Jennings died in 1875, leaving all his property to his wife and infant son. Last of all Mrs. Jennings died, and the queer tiling which she did came out in this manner The Erie railway train from the West stopped at Lackawanna, Pa., and a stranger alighted. He asked the first man he met; "Is there any one here who knows where Samuel Helms lives?" "Sam Helms the rattlesnake charm er ?" said one. "Yes." "Well, he's been dead these five years." "Then he has lost $5,000," was the reply. The stranger explained that he was the executor of the estate of Mrs. Maria Jennings, who died and left her divorced husband the sum of $5,0d0. lt e&me too iare fbrSanr, b(t It showed a last kind thought of his wife, who did not like his trade and could not live with him for very worthlessness. The infant Jennings of St. Clairsville, Minn., will get the $5,000 that Sam Helms lost by dying too young. But it was a qneer thing for that Nutting woman to do. Buat. Did you ever find lying in fome neg lected spot, buried among the grass, perhaps some old tool, which you re membered was sharp, bright arid use ful, but which is now covered with rust and useless? The rust and the dull edge have come of its long rest. Had it been constantly used it might have been broken, but it never would have been that dull useless thing while it lasted. It is just so with human beings. Inaction is worse for them than hard work. Unused talents rot. The mind that is never sharpened grows dull. One that has not done what he might finds his power gone at last. Some times when the mind lies useless and hands are folded, the soul rusts also. I do not know St. Simon's history, but I doubt if he was as w orthy a saint as many another, just because he lived at the top of a pillar, and, to quote Miss Bradden, "had his meals sent up to him in a basket." Had he come dow n for his food he might have found some chance of being useful. There Is work in the world for every mind, heart and body.

History and I'imjb of Gunpowder. "Who invented gunpowder? No one knows. All agree that it composition and properties were under stood In remote antiquity. Authentic history extends but a short way into the past, and it is alwayg difficult to draw the line separating the authent c from the fabulous. Like some other things, gunpowder, as ages rolled on, may hav. been invented, forgotten, and re invented. Certainly in orne form it was known and used for flre-works and incendiary material long before any ore dreamed of a gun, or of using it to do more than create terror in warfare. And yet it is said that fome of the an cients hed means of using it to throw destructive missiles among their enemies probably a species of rocket or bomb. Nor does it seem, in italnfancy, to have been applied to industrial purposes, such as blasting and quarrying rock, for there is evidence that the people who used it for fire-works at their feasts, quarried Immeneeb'.ocks of stone by splitting them out of the quarries with hammers and wedges. Its first uses probab'ywere connected with the religious ceremonies of the pagan people.

An AkiI llitrolue. A shocking tragedy wan recently en acted near Tazewell Court IIo'is-, V i. In the woods, two miles from that plac is a small frame cottage occupied Mr a number of years by 51 r. KeU-cCA lit! 1 wiu.an old lady, who lived in a slate of solitude. It was generally known th it she possessed a little fortune in the shape ol gold coin. 'The neighbors had often remarked that old Aunt Becky, she was called, would some night be murdered for her money, and uch haa come to pass. Recently, a friend dnp ed in, wlien a sickening sight met his ejes. Mrs. Baltiwiii lay on the Ilo-.r, wel tering in blood. Lite was almost gone, but she was still able to speak, tu the game room on the floor lay two dea l men who had been "killed, ami lying around were two bloo ly c!ub, a bloody ax and a bloinly knife. The old lady was able, in broken sentences, to give the following statement;. TjirejBJtrange men, whom she supposed to be train p", called and aked l;er to change ten dol lars. She compiled with the request, and in doing h displayed a good deal of money. At night, about nine o'clock, after she had retired, her door was broken in, and one of the stm party that had been there durii g the day rushed in. She jumped out of her bed, and in her excitement threw a large bag of gold Into the fire. The man stooped to jerk ft out, and a he etoo-K-d Mrs. Baldwin, like a plucky heroine, seizl an ax which aha always kept at the bead of the bed, and let the robber have a blow lu the back of the head, and she did not stop until she had killed him. Then another man w ith a club came to the rescue of his comrade, and the old lady struck him oa the head with ihe ax. Tney ha l quite acocibat, but she succeeded in killing hlin. While she was administering the last blow the third man, who, it U uppood, had been leit outside as a gnard, rushed In and subbed her with a dirk, and, think ing she was dead, he fled. Mr. Bal l win recognized all the robbers as the same tram p that had visited her to get the money changed. They had been lurklngaround the neighborhood sever al days. The old lady died and a vigi lance committee haa been organ!zed to apprehend the murderer. It is a very eay thing for a man to be wise for other people. a .
