When I tell you that in my story there is a broken wheel and a storm, perhaps you will accuse me of romanc ing; hut I did not break the wheel or cause the rain, and as my narrative is true, 1 assure you that the wheel of Lord Fergus' carriage broke opposite the door of an inn; also that'here was a terrific storm in the mountains. Lord Fergus was not an ordinary .aii. That he was a gentleman was evident. Aside from that, however, it would have been difficult to decide whether he were young or old, good or bad, handsome or otherwise. Some times brusque, his manners at other times were of captivating gentleness, v Occasionally.without apparent cause, he had sudden accessions of wild gay ety or rapturous meditation. At such times all that was obscure and strange about this incomprehensible being was revealed, and seemed to concentrate, as in a double focus, in his eyes, intense, unfathomable and majestic. His gaze exercised such a mesmeric influence over the gentler sex, that the noble lord always took the precaution of putting on green glasses when he desired to be loved for himself. v It is needless to add that he was - generally regarded as a magnetizer. In vain did he contradict thi3 explanation jisife-sre?-t sincerity that it was magnetism at ail, um hy uiS( sympathetic projection, that he some tisTieS quite" involuntarily exercised a gqrtof fascinatioiiover .some refined ; natures.

After Lord Fer the point of his index finger between: ! her eyes. Omnipotence of irradiation and sympathetic projection ! The prin cess, without the slightest hesitation, with no embarrassment whatever. lifted up her head at once, and the ope rator passed, nls hnger lightly, along the right eyebrow. - This prelude was so assured, so crave, that the most captious mind could not have refused to recognize it in a power sure of it self and of its infallibility. The prin cess felt it instantly, and all the sym pathetic currents of her nature seemed to concentrate beneath the lovely brow which the light fingers of the operator were caressing. What followed, hu man language ha3 no words to de scribe. The whole soul of Lord Fer gus had passed into his .fingers and seemed to emanate in waves of electric ity from their very extremity. He be gan by passing his hand over the f ore- head and cheeks of the princess, scarcely grazing them, causing the delicate skin to tremble as if brasKeLby a soft zephyr. ..iteturning afterward tohe junction of the two evebrows, he followed the con tour of the delicatg arches with his thumb, swept, going back, the cheeks, and upward to the inner canthus of the eye, to touch lightly the nose, gide lightly along the upper lip. linger a moment at the corner of the mouth and reach at length the center of the chin, where hetopped Lord Fergusras an experienced ope rator, had reasons for stopping thus at this first phase pjeliminarv phase, in fact for in starting anew ftsom the chin, the operator lecame moreener getic and animated. He had some times encountered 'caprice resistance irom tne sick wno were unaoie to uear his irradiations. He .hesitated, th to observe the result of his efforts. But in this case the expectant and com?

Having laid both thum1 cheeks of the princess within it, moved his hands gently over all the surface of the face, slowly raising them to the temples, and lowering them until they glided below the car to the back of the neck, and met m the tine, soft hair. He then requested the princess to move her head gently, that he might ad vantageously press and rub the cervi cal articulations and muscles. Thi3 movement had also the advantage of permitting the Angers to be thrust rOPCHE Tf EITHER SA11NK3. Vyn Wkat the WralhrrwU. f ?lfw IIa hire Bom their Probabilities." human hand. The hand bore upon the little finger a ring, whose setting was a magnificent bezoar stone. The princess gazed a moment spell-bound. then carefully reclosing the sarcopha gus, and concealing the key in her bosom, she shrieked aloud. After which she threw herself upon a couch, ar ranged the folds of her dress, rang for her maid, and fainted. That hand was the right hand of Lord Fergus ; that bezoar, was the ring of Lord Fergus L In two hours she left the village, and was never seen there more. We will not attempt to depict the state of maddening love in which this fantastic and surgical girt had plunged the unfortunate Gelsomina Cordileone,' Never before did horror, astonishment, gratitude and pity so blend in a wo man's heart. Many a man had offered her his hand, but to have it amputated and present it to her upon a velvet cushion fringed with pearls, was indeed a noveltv. In regarding herself in her mirror, she could tridy say that no other woman in the world had.eyer been the object of such adonrttDi And then. as the hand was perfectly embalmed, she must needs take it often from its concealment to caress it, fancying this the best way to fulfill the wishes of the testator who had willed it to her. Many months rolled away. The princess, overcome more and more with passionate regret, reproached herself for every imaginable wrong. At hist she became frantic. Every effort "that she made to find Lord Fergus was of no avail 4he detectives of Europe, America and Australia could not dis cover his retreat. In the meantime what was the ec centric lord doing. He had briled all the attendants of the princess; just as soon as she arrived at a hotel he con trolled that house; and during all this time he had watched her unceasingly, being concealed night and day in some one of her rooms. From such secret observatories he watched the progress of the malady which he had sown in flint imr hpnrt until inp dav rl (htt i n rr upon the chin, he described a fan tctk j he tinie at last propitious, he stole the fingers of each hand, inclosing the ftom hiding place during his be- inrp nfpnlv into tttn - i rhicn 13 pre-eminently adapted for the loved's absence. Upon her return the innkeeper announced to her with ex ceeding candor the arrival of an un known gentleman. She had a pre sentiment as to his identity, as may be imagined. Hurrying to her dressing room, she arrayed herself in the deep est mourning.after which she descended immediately to the salon, opened the door, and perceiving Lord Fergus, ad vanced a few steps toward him. He, with great nonchalance, pointed with L&av WUl'h transmiusion of electricity, one knows. The fingers of 13 mo. Tni as every T.nrrl Per. gus executed men, in tne pertumed tresses where they were buried, a series of passes exquisitely delicate. It was in fact the decisive moment of the operation, for the cure entirely de pended upon the perfect correspondence between the fullness of the rachidum gtlleri sufficiently discussed, they bulb, situated at the brain, and the de : all agreedyr; to be impossible to under- pletion of the nervous ganglions of the - stand- the man. The secret or Ms power, lay entirely in the expression of . v a Ms,eye. Lord Fergus was dreaming in the large waiting-room of the inn. . The ' rolling of a carriage and the cracking of whips suddenly disturbed his revery. Curious and idle as are all travelers, he hurried to the balcony, and saw a young lady descend from a four-horse carriage, -4who, as well as he could judge f ronfso great a distance, ap peared to be marvelously beautiful. The lady proved to be the Princess Gelsomina Cordileone. At that mo ment a heavy roll of thunder shook the house and made every window rat tle. The princess, death pale, and with clasped hands hurried toward Lord Fergus, exelaimmSfT' " In heaven's name cmse all the doors and windows, and remain with me 1" - In the midst of the frightful tumult of the elements they were imprisoned for two long hours. Every time Lord Fergus attempted to speak, the princess, with a gesture of terror, en treated him-to be silent. But if speech were denied them, their eyes were eloquent, and when the last crash of thunder had passed away, their destinies were more fiidissolubly united than if their acquaintance had extended over a period of years. 'Tis true, they had not spoken, but silent love is the roost vehement. .- v-; ' " Milord," then said the princess, "I thank you "for the . service wJnch you zygomatic arch, whose plethora oc casioned the. neuralgia in question. Tfifs finished he undertook the third and last part of the operation, by far the most beautiful of all. His face ex pressed an inspiration truly august. As his hands fluttered over the surface of this almost divine face he resembled an artist designing an angel's face, or a sculptor modeling the head of a god dess. He, with beating heart and cheeks red with enthusiasm, seemed like Pygmalion animating his statue. At last, in a transport of power and triumph, placing the index finger of his right hand between the eyebrows of the princess, he said, with the air of a conqueror: " You are cured." The lady, lifting her magnificent eyes to his face, and taking his hand, replied in Ijer melodious voice: " It is true. I thank you." An rising, she went to the stairway leaning upon the arm of the lord. He conducted her in perfect silence to her carriage. The postilion was already in the saddle. She stepped into the post- chaise, offered her hand to Lord I er gus, who kissed it respectfully, and said: "Drive on "Princess," observed Lord Fergus, "the hand whjfh has rested, on your face shall never touch anything else. I dedicate it to you." And before' she could reply he made the signal of de parture ,tb 'the postilion and bowed bTendewiiw deeply which, he ...reentered f the be so kind as id order the carriage, nr gratitude will be complete' -: I Lord Fergus, with lightning rapidity, went to do her bidding, and returning immediately announced the carriage. ' The princess bestowed a gracious smile upon Lord 'Fergus, . who bowed pro foundly as she passed. But at that moment an expression of pain distorted the face of the princess. She stopped, pressed her hand to her left cheek, and exclaimed, with a suggestion of tears in her voice: " Oh, how I suffer !" As she spoke -she sank into a chair. Lord Fergus felt no surprise. He had watched her preparations for de- parture with imperturbable calmness, but understood the language of love too well to suppose an adventure hap pening to two such; powers as this lady and himself could end thus abruptly. I say two powers, for if Lord Fergus had a magnetic gaze, the princess pos sessed a voice ot wondertui sweetness. The human ear has never heard any thing comparable to its music. Clear, rich, and vibrant, it ruled, caressed and inspired. At the first word she uttered Lord Fergus thought: "It is incon testable that if that voice commanded the sacrifice of my life I should obey without hesitation." Therefore, in re sponse to the lady's plaint he ap proached her, and having contemplated Her with his supernatural regard, asked: "Are you ilL princess?" and his in tense look seemed to add: "Do you think I will permit you to suf& ?" The princess raised her fine eyes con fidingly to his face eyes doubly beau tiful from the tears of pain glistening like diamonds in their depths; "Yes, fni, and temained dreaming before the fire until a lake hour of-the night. Eight days later the Princess Gelso mina was established in a little se cluded .village of TyroL A man on horseback, who claimed to have come from Berne by easy journeys, was in quiring for her. Kiding up tot the door of the inn, he leaned from his saddle, called for the innkeeper and asked: "Is the Princess Gelsomina Cordile one here?? Q " She is." " Is she in her room ?" "Yes." ' He dismounted, went upstairs, was introduced, and drawing a small case of white wood from a game-bag which he carried, presented it to the amazed lady, saying : . ''This is from Lord Fergus Mac Forfar." Giving her no time to ask anv par ticulars, he hastily descended the stairs. , , . . ' leapea upon Msjiorse, and set off at a gallop.

But when Lord Fergus sprang for ward in a transport of joy easy to im agine, she recoiled, ami with a cry of horror hid her face in her hands. I cannot," sobbed she. "I will never be able to." Then falling upon her knees before the dismayed lord, she explained to him with tears that- her gratitude toward hfm was boundless ; that she had passed days and nights thinking only of him ; was distracted for being the cause of his mutilation. Since that fatal day she had suffered the torments of the lost ; she had kissed the hand a hundred times a day; had twenty thousand masses said for his repose ; prayers in every church and convent in the universe that a new hand might grow. She loved Lord Fergus ; adored him ; but his mutilation inspired her with repugnance and horror absolutely unconquerable. She would die of it, but she could never be his wife. Lord Fergus listened attentively. He slowly raised his hand, gazed at the princess as if he would read her soul, and said : But you love me. And if my hand had not been amputated you would not have loved me. The princess made a gesture which signified assent. And if my hand were not cut off, you would render me happy ?" The princess assented. "Will you swear it?" " I swear it" " Upon my lost hand." "Upon your lost hand," responded the weeping princess. "Very well," said Lord Fergus, solemnly; "dry your tears, and be happy. God has answered your prayer?, and performed a miracle. Behold I?

The chief signal officer at Washing ton is seeking material for a collection of "popular weather sayings, proverbs, and prognostics used throughout the country, and by all classes and races. And including Indians, negroes and all for eigners." Our readers may bo inter ested to see a collection made in New Hampshire for his Use. The writer does not vouch for the correctness of the prognostics. He give them as they were given to him, and the reader may judge for himself as to their value. The divisions made by the chief signal officer aro twenty-three in number. 1. The sun. indicates that there will be rain or. snow soon. If the sun rises clear tiAd soon goes into a cloud it will rain be fore night. If the sun shines while it rains," it will rain the next day. A sun dog, or mock sun, indicates that there will be stormy weather very soon. 2. The moon. "One Saturday change is enough for seven years," as there is always a severe Ftorm after it. The nearer the time of the moon's change to midnight the fairer will the weather be during the seven days fol lowing. The nearer to midday the phases of the moon happen the more foul or wet weather may be expected during the next seven days. The space for these calculations is two hours before and two hours after mid night and noon. A halo around the moon indicates a coming storm. The number of stars seen within the circle shows the number of days before it will occur. If the new moon stands upright, so that the crescent will not hold water, there must 1k rain, ai the water must all descend. If the new moon is horizontal, so that the crescent tcill hold waU-r, there will 1 rain, as the water collectwd will be jwured down, lirain should always be sown in the new of the moon, that it may grow with the increase of the moon The same ride should be observed In planting flower slips. To kill bushes they should be cut after the full of the August moon, when the sign is in the heart. Pigs and hogs should always lx killed during the increase of the mon. or the pork will diminish in bulk while cooking. o. St;irs and meteors. The aurora borealis always indicates a change of weather, and if it is very ml the weather Mill be very cold. If there are no falling stars to be seen on a bright summer evening, you may look for fine weather. If there be many falling stars on a fine summer's eve, you may expect thunder and heavy rain. 4. Rainbows. "If you go to the foot of the rainliow, where it touchi the earth, you will find a pot of gold."

Of course, they are glad enough to earn a shilling in this way; and yet especially on a cold, raw, rainy day it doee seem Aa outrage almost for one man to put another to such uses. But when these poor wretches are forced to wear ridic ulous costumes, then we have no doubt aboi&tb outrage at all.

Saturday Ifight, Secretary Teller has written a letter on Indian education In which he says: "The Indian requires education In the practical affairs of life ; he must le taught to work as well as read; his hand must be educated as well as his head. With additional labor schools estal lished within eay room unicat Ion with the tribe, yet not near enough to allow e influences or savage lite to coun teract and undo the work of the school, we may hope to repeal on a large scale what Captain iratt and Mr. Armstrong have so successfully done at Carlisle and Hampton. iatr Is and ever has tn the great civ U- izer of the human race, and whenever the Indian becomes a laborer he is not far from civilization and usefulness to society. Heretofore we have confined our efforts to the education of a few, hoping to make such persons teachers and exemplars to their ravage brethren; but experience has demonstrated that a few educated youths could not with stand the baneful influences of savage life with which they were at once sur rounded on their return to their trit. We cannot hope fr the speedy civili zation of the Indian unless we can ex tend our education: efforts so as to include the great mass of Indian chil dren. To do this now, as the Indians may be located on reservations easy of access, is only a question of 'appro priation and the cordial support of the administrative ai$borilics.w since, and poetry placed in this paper is placed in the hands of 1D0.CMJ fami lies lfor night.
