Now Cyrus had been sweet upon II ul dah ail his days; but latterly there had Mr HBO a coolness between them. Huldab wanted him to study law, while he had set bis heart upon tilling the pulpit at Uowlov. and settling: down soberly with Huldah at the parsonage.

"Deary me, Cyrus Allan, how come you to let this young popinjay cut you out that's what I'd like to know ? Here you was right handy, aud knowed Huldy aver since she was that high. I alius thought you'd make a match of it, you two. She's jest the cut-out lor a ministers wife, to sing psalms and lead in prayer at class-meetings, and carry brotli and flannel to the poor." "Huldy? Why, Miss Mallet," cried Jane, "I've heard her say she wouldn't marry a miuister if there wasn't another nan iu crcatiou having everybody 4n the narish bringing tithes of mint and a o cumin, as she calls it." . "PVaps she wa'n't asked "Like as not, said Jane. "Sour grapes. I a... .- . i r- 1 .-I Xut it does beat everymiug uer taaug up with this boy!"

"When people reach maturity, a few years on either side don't signify." Cyrus was a trifle the junior of Huldah himself. Shakspeare was younger than Ann Hath away, and Dr. Johnson." "Well," continued Jane, with Huldy still heavy on my mind, "I'm willing folks should marrv their grandmothers if - . w 'they want to; but I must say I'm disap pointed in Huldy." . "And I shouldn't wonder if Cyrus was tool" "He's got hia calling" "I guess ho wont need to be calling round to Huldy's now; ahe seems to be already uuder conviction." And to Cyrus's jaundiced eyes she did indeed aoDcar content and happy, as he Watched her strolling among the beds of larkspur and lovelieableeding, with "her young man;" and when presently sho plucked a carnation for bis button i hole, and leaned on his arm as if it be 'longed to her, the heart of Cyrus stood still, and he didn't feel in the least like practicing what ho was about to preach. 1 Neither could he help ackuowledging, as tney stood together in the paling light, that the young man had a taking way " with him, and that Uuldah herself looked Kbi peer, with her sparkling coquetries tuat there would always be Something 'girlish about her were she ninety, It was almost twilight when Uuldah closed tho garden gate between herself and her young man, who bent and kissed . her hand as he withdrew. She was still 4 lingering there, while the stars blossom id out overhead, when Cyrus himself passed by, hesitated, and returned to the -gate. . "A fine evening," he" said. "I sup pose it isn't too late for congratulations, lo Huldab 1" She gave a start that shook ' all the dew from the syringa bush at her ' elbow.

"I'll let you know when 1 am going to bo married in good season to have the cake done through. So they think 1 oughtu t marry such a young man do they ?" the thorn rankling. "Law I wouldn't let that hinder II I was you, Huldy." If anything should persuadfc Huldah from the match, it was plain there would be no cake to bake. "Let ihem laugh as wins. The Allans, to be sure, turned up their noses as high as nine, and dont think you've got auy dignity to spare, and Miss Higgins she laughed as though she'd die when I uointed him tut to her.

Next day when Huldah dropped into Mr. Inches store for some trifle, he seized thu onuortunitv. to tell her that he had jU8t received some choice silks, which, he --aid 0ffer her at a bargain "Real bridal f . S a ! W colors, Mijs Blare." And Miss Pucker, the dressmaker, reluped several customers, in order to be in readiness to make Hul- dahs wtddiug gowns. But the world wasn't made in a day, and Huldah and her young man seemed in no hurry. The neighborhood, indeed, hnd hardly srrown familiar with thei Joinn and comings, when a young lady o o-J i- V . apneara to vary tnu scene, xt was uoiu i. . I . i ing new for Huldah Locke to visit her aunt, but every one decided that this particular visit was ill-timed. Aud when Huldys youug man and Huldys young niece were met walking in lonely paths together, or rowing on the twilight river, side by side, Mrs. Grundy could no lon ger contain herself, but must speak her mind, convulsed as she was with jealous misgivings ou Huldah's account. Why had she been such a fool as to ask Huldy Locke down till the thing was settled bet yfcnd a preadventurel 'Why didn't she let me bake the cake, and have done with it?' sighed Miss Mallet. "It's a justice upon her for tri fling with her luck in thin way. It ought to be a warning to others !" "It id what might have been expected of such a chit of a boy,'' said Jane Allen. She oughtn't have put temptation iu his way. Children always take to sweet things. "For the matter of that," said Cyrus, Huldab is ouly tc-:i years older than her niece, and much the prettier. 'Speak for yourself, Cyrus,' snapped Jane. Every eye makes its own beauty. I thought you had more spirit than to stand up for her. She is only getting her come-uppance. Ten years is no ' . . laughing matter, and I am afraid II ul- y will laugh on the Other side of her mouth ! But Huldy appeared confident of her f mm V own charms, ana oblivious ot danger. though little Huldy was sometimes seen at the station taking leave of tho young man. "Huldy's either too good for earth or vainer n a peacock, Miss Mallet assured the public, for she lets little Huldy bar ness old Daisy and gallivant oft to meet Mr' What s his -name at the train when hejis expected down; and if it ain't little iiuldys picter he keeps in his watch, I will never believe im' eyes agin. I think you'd oaghter call over and console the afhicled, Cyrus, said she, after Cyrus had been called to In parirb of iMWicyj She's one of yo':r flock, and likely to r main so. Perhaps, you mil.t show her how 'twas all for flic best, eh But (.this did not undertake that pastoral duty; he wreptled daily with him self instead, because his heart rejoiced in apitc of him at the possible inconstancy of Huldy's young man. Surely it was not meet that a minister of the Gospel should entertain such weaknesses, but ministers as well as people are uusub limatcd flesh and blood as yet. Not that Cyrus in the least believed the cur rent gossips ; in the first place the man who had onced loved Huldah could nevt r think of another, aud secoudly, it was too gpOd to be true. " w a at, the cake s in ihe oven, sure's you live, Jauc Allan said Miss Mallet, K ! 8 L . 1 . . .1 coming in oue morning, later,! n a nutter of excitement. "My work tor it, I'd give it clean up; thinks I, that cake s dough to the end ot time !" "What cakes are you talking about?' asked Jane; but Cyrus, who was medi- a-CL 111 . a . ' i a ung a sermon in trie adjouning room, knew by instinct, and his heart began to throb in great plunges, as if it moved out ot its place at every pulse "Why, Huldys wedding cake to be sure ! "All's well that ends well. I wish her joy." "You may wish me ioy when that batch is well out of the oven, neither too hard baked, nor with a quagmire in the middh: of it.

'44 . O B'V.n It was gohig to be a very quiet wed- ding Nobody invited but a few friends from Boston, and the Rev. Cyrus Allan and his sister, Cyrus would have given all he was worth if "it would have enabled him to stay awav, but how could be re fuse to marry a parishioner and an old friend, unless Ae were to fall ill or break a limb in the mean time 1 But the fated day drew on, au4 found him sound in body, if distracted in mind, as be helped Jane into the tafriage and shut her finery in tho door, thinking how much it seem ed as if they were going to a funeral instead. A handful ot trictids were assembled in Huldah's parlor, and swinging bell:, of flowers marked the spot where lb bridal party were to pose; and presentlythero- was a portentious rustling ana murmuring m uw uau, nu Cyrus caught sight of a cloud of tulle aud a coiifusod panoiama of faces, from amidst which' Huldah's shone out like a fixed star, before be dropped bis eyes upon bis pttfyer-book and began the service, with a countenance as white as his gown. I was looking through the crack of Ann.' .li nA 1aa Mrtllot W A was alwaj'8 present on such occasions to cut the cake aud order things duly, "and I thought Cyrus Allan would drop every minute, and 1 jest run tor tne campime bottle." He went through the ceremony as if he had been wound up for the purpose, without oue raising his eyes to the bride's. The respousc, "I, Huldtth, take thee Henry, to be ray wedded husband," soun ded to him like the far-off whispers in a shell, ; all the faces atibut him seemed wavering and disturbed ; he saw Jane standing primly against the wall in her stiff,. old-fashioned brocade her grand mother's wedding gown with its modern ruffles of embroidered muslin, and the fronds and ferns upon it seemed to grow as she waited there, while ho speculated if all the hearts that had ached under that bodice -could make up the sum of his pre seut agony ; and directly the blessing was over, and summoning all his strength of his will aud pride, Cyrus bent forward to congratulate the bride, and tho bride was ouly a little Huldah ! "I never kuew it myself," reported Miss Mallet, "till I came back to the crack of the door, aud ece, all of a sudding, that veil was ou the little lluldy s bead, now that they faced round, aud that old Huldy mm a m m m 1 was nothing but a bridesmaid. 1 wac stuck iu a heap, aud I bed to take a good suiff out of the campbire buttle myself ! And I was downright mad, too. at being eo toon iu. xou see, tne way 01 11 was, Jittlef Huldy's step-father wouldn't let her marry her youug man, 'cause tbe minute she up and did, he'd lose control of the property her own pa left to her ; and her a. she had nt no marrer to bcr bonce, aud never durst Bay her soul was her'n it any man thought dim-ruut ; aud as littl Huldy s step-father was her gunrdeen, and she wa'n't of age, and awaistiug her money for her iu riotous living, and keep ing: of her piuched and treating of her shameful, they were afearcd he'd forbid the banns it he got wind ot it, be was seen a neatnen ; so tney u Kep it siy, anu and tbe rent of us bed wasted enough sympathy on Huldah Blare to found a hospital, you see. " 'How could yon play us such an un neighborly trick, Miss Huldy," says I, afterward, 'and keen us bo long in tho outer darkuess ? We did a sight of wor rying for you that we might have been spared if we'd only knowed be wa'n't your yong man."-. " I never said be was my young man.' said sbe, a-Iaug.ung. 'lou drew your own conclusions. " 'Yes,' thinks I, 4I drew my own con clusions from hanging round the nreraises. aud watching the shadows on tho window-curtains.' And jest then Cyrns Allan, he came in, and 'Miss Mallet,' a, m a . mr a m m Bays no joking like. i thought it was a pity to leave Miss Huldy without a a a a a a a ber young man, alter all tbe talk, aud disappoint the neighbors too, and I've kindly volunteered to take his place, and show her that it was all for the best." so you'll have to bake cakes for tbe whole parish! And Huldah blushed jest like a rose in June, as putty as if she'd bin sixteen; but, you see, she s got her young man, after all, if be is a miuister sbe dont seem uoways sorry.' Tbe first agitators for Civil Rights in Chicago under thu new law have come to grief. United States Commissioner Iloyne, acting under the advice of Judgo Blodgett, has dismissed the . suit against the proprietor of the Si. Elmo restaurant. i he ground of the decision is that the Civil Rights law does not apply to sncl establishments. Tho District Attorney at Washington has delared thst, in bis opinion, it does uot apply to barber shops lien -Sutler has announced that saloon keepers can still choose their own custo mers for their intoxicating drinks. Judge Emmons has practically swept swsy the whole law in his charge to the Memphis Grand Jury. It begins to look as if the muchadebated act is not worth tbe parch ment it was engrossed upon. This resnlt will be a bitter disappoiatmeut. But, af ter all, it will teach colored neonle. as well as white people, that they mast live down, not legislate down, social prejudices, and that their future social standing depends upou iiicinseivcs, not upon acts of Con gres. As their minds are educated snd tneir manners are r. fined, the color of their skin still ate tforgotlen. Tho social prejudice against certain class of whites can only be cured in tbe same wav. N V rr-ix. - x. j.nvune. There is reason to hope that Radical ism will iu time work its own cure. Its paralysing influence on the commerce and industrial enterprise of the country it be ing felt iu all sections of the Union. Eveu the great Northern cemmercial centres are beginning to feel the reaction of prostrated trade and industry at the South. The New York Day Book says : m "Unless New York strives to build up the South through a liberal political policy toward that now abused section, helping the South out of her ooHiical morass aud into the old highway of commerciaUprog ress, and reaping as of old great prohts out of her restored Southern trade ; unless this city gets back ber old commercial relations with the cotton and tobacco sec tions, some of us may live to see the great aud brilliant Central Park converted into a cow pasture aud tbe palatial man sions of Fifth avenue used for bay lofu.

Perfect health demands that tbe cloth ing about the neck should be very moder ate in quautity, aud worn so loose as to preveut the slightest compressions. The great error frequent committed in clothing tins part ot the oody consists iu wearing such an amount as to overheat and weak en the throat, and thus render, it easily susceptible to cold, or in wearing it so tight as to retard the circulation of the blood to and from tho head. Great care should be exercised upon this point, as the arteries sud veins leading from the heart to the brain are situated so near the surface in the neck that a slight compres sion there serves to check tho flow of tbe blood. Many cases of congestion of the brain and headache aro caused by too tight collars and cravats. A Beautiful Woman.

TRUE HEROISM. The fire in tbe coal mine, says a St. Louis paper, broke out about midday, and when first discovered the main shaft in the mine was iu a blase, with thirty-two men and boys st work beyond and be neath the flames, nearly forty feet below tho level of the earth. In a few minutes the whole population of tho place rushed to the scene, end a thousand or more men, women, and children the relatives friends, and neighbors of the entombed miners were gathered at the month of the burning shaft, stupefied with fear aud anguish. All the wells iu tbe town had run nearly dry weeks before, and scarcely enough water could bo secured to subdue the best sbove ground, much less to ar rest the conflagration iuside tbe mine. Thus matters stood for two awful hours, when a railroad engine arrived with a full tank, which was hurriedly emptied into the shaft, and a great shout of hope went up from the people. At this juncture a man emerged like a spectre from tbe blase sod smoke, and fell i ii awnnn at Ph. tarv MCI or IP a swoon at the very edce of the sbaiL . a .a An hour later two more men cried no through the flames for help, and a ladder was lowered to them, on which they msde their wsy to the top, and were drag ged forth alive, but burned and smoked beyond recognition. 1 bree were now saved, but twent y -nine others were still below, and the fire was not yet under con trol. The terrified crowd stood aghast for a tew minutes, snd then suddenly s panic of despair seemed to seize them, tbe tiled moans of the women snd childnn breaking out afresh, and the men draw ing back from the mines witb blanched aud averted faces. Tbe supreme moment of the emergency had come, snd tbe one man to meet it was there. His name was William Marks, snd he stepped to the front witb tbe promptness and tbe modes ty of a trne hero. "1? oaten s rope around me. and let me down into the shaft," he said. The proposition was appalling, but down be went into the horrible cavern, without auother word, aud reaching tbe bottom, treed himself for bis search in tbe entries diverging from the main shaft. At almost tbe first step into the elifliug darkness he stumbled upon the inanimate form of one of th the miners in a coal car, which he pushed to the entrance, secured the ropes around the body, called to those above to hoist away, aud iu a moment the man was safe, r urther search soon re vealed the whereabout of the remaining twenty eight, and slowly but sorely Mark' piloted them to tho mouih of the mine and delivered tln-in, one by one many insco sible, but all alive out of the jawa of death into the hands of their wives snd children. Theu. when ihe last one bsd been rescued, ho came himself to the sur face, scorched and blinded, and nearly suff cated, and stood there silently among the cheering townspeople, tho master of the situation. ThiiB the peril was snrmnuntod without any sacnlicuot Iile ; but bcroistn w i ther ail the same. Tbo rescue of l!n- neipiess miners, anu escape ot tno man who gave death scorn to save tbem, spt.il ed the perfection of a tragedy ; but the destruction of all coucerued could uot have added to the rediance which belons to the bravery of Willi -m Marks. lie was a commou working man.
