And tears dowixdropplng to tlio H'lnds
Where waves Wiivo hack o'er and o'or,
With hroakinir heart and broken pride

It was midnight, and a bride of rare
beauty was sealed within n biudoir id
tlio gay city capital of France. A
dainty emme k rhnmbre had but lilt
the apartment when Fred.iric de h
Tnur, the young husband iu question,
euterid.
Madame de la Totir wns seated near
an open wood (ire, the folds of a beauti
ful robe of light, soft texiure thrown
ornnd her.
"My darling!" exclaimed 1)j la Tour,
' I could Mit come before."
As be spoke he threw hisself upon
his knees before licr.
"Our friends have just gone?" asked
his listener.
"Yes; and I am with you."
"l)i not kneel, Frederic, there is
room for you on this couch," continued
Madame de la Tour.
"Let me remain thus. It seems as if
I must be dreainino; that all this happi
ness cannot be real j that you ure tint
indeed mine to love and cherish. I
cannot remove my eyes from your dear
face, dreading that you will vanish from
my view."
' Be very sure that I do not ' propose
to vanish,'' responded M idauie de la
Tour. "Yesterday I was the widow
of Lord Melville, and to-day I nm
Louise de la Tour, vour wife. Ynu
see, strange as it may seem, you do not
dream."
Frederic de la Tnur had good reason
to suppose that a fairy had bjeu mid
dling nilh his affairs. Within a few
mwnlhs past he bad ci joyed a streak
of inestimable goo J fortune. He had
became rich and happy beyond bis
fond -st hopes. This was how it hap
pened :
0 e afternoon, while returning from
his I'ftiee, he was in the Rue St. Honore
accosted by a lady who was di ivirrj iu a
maguificant equipage.
''Mousieui 1 Monsieur 1" she called.
The footman bad lowered the steps
and motioned to e li Tour to enter the
carriage. Astonished beyond measure,
be mechanically obeyed
"I have received you letter, Mon
sieur," continued the lady, in a charm
ing musical voice.
"A letter from me, Madame 5" re
sponded Frederic, in a tone of sur
prise. "Yes; did you not write to me?"
"Never, Madame, to my kunwledje,"
was the respectful rej Tinder,
"You wi. I kindly exj-se me," con-,
tinued the lady, "I have made an
absurd mis.ake. ai.d my only excuse is
that you so greatly resemble a friend of
mine that I mistook you for him
Ureat heaven 1" she added, much
confused ; "what must you think of
me? Aud yet the resemblance is strik
ing." Ere the lady bad completed her ex
planation, the carriage bad been driven
into a magnificent hotel. Frederic, of
course, tillered his hand to assist his
companion to alight.
"I would explain further, Monsieur,"
continued the ladv, "I am Lady Mel
ville." De la Tnur bowed. I$y the beauty
of the speaker he was positively dazzled,
and accepted with delight an invitation
to call.
' My name is Frederic de la Tour,"
he said; "I am only a struggling
artist."
The singular meeting described had
resulted, us lias been said in the oiai
riage of D ? la Tour.
"Come and sit beside me." continued
Madame de la Tour. "I have some
thing to say, but cannot speak while you
remain kneeling. It is quite a story,
and moist be t. - Id to you."
Frederic obeyed.
'Once upon a time," contiuued
Louise.
"I knew you would tell me some
fair story," exclaimed the young
husband: "but while von saealt it is
music."
"Nay. listen to me, friend. 0 ce
upon a time there was a young girl,
born (if parcels who had once been rich.
At the a je of fiiteen she was br light
to Paris by he Cither, who found that at
Lvons he was gaining bat little money.
For four ye us that father struggled
against adversity, bat fi tally illne-s
seized him. To be brief, d -ar Frederic,
he died in an hospital, and s mil the
mother followed, and the younj eirl
was left alone. Had there been a fury
in the story I relate, she certainly would
have appeared, but there was none.
The girl was in Paris without relatives,
without friends, without means to
pay. She sought work, but obtained
none.
"Time passed. At length every cent
was gone, and for twenty-four hours no
particle of fond passed ho lips. 01)1
Frederic, voti who have never known
hunger and misery cannot undeistund
the suffering I might picture, cannot
know the pain endured when forced to
beg, aud jet to iaaplor alms lbs girl

was compelled. At dark una eveeiii"
the crept forth from her lodging; iut)
night was cold and rainy. In her des
peration she accosted a young man, wlm
nailed, searched bis pockets, and then
threw her a coin. At this iuslant a sen
j i . . . b
u urme perceived ine glil.
"'Come,' ho said, 'I arrest you for
begging. You fullow me ts the lock
up.' "At lliese words a cry of despair was
wrung Irooi Hie lips of tho unfortunate
woman. Qiickly the young man inter-
pi S.'d.
" 'This young eirl is an acquaintance
nf mine; I know her; there is no beg
ging in the question. Come,' he con
tinned, addresiiij the trembling girl, 'it
is lime you wc-e nt home. 1) a not
fear, it wus only a mistake on tho
part of this good guardian of ihe public
pence.'
'Leaning on the arm of tho stranger
the girl walked on.
-1) ) not fear, Mademoiselle,' whis
pered the yiiung man, placing a purse
in the hand which lav in his. 'I will
accompany you until we are out of siMit
of Cerberus.' "
"Why; I remember the girl," ex
claimed Je la Tour.
"And also know the man?"
"I do. It was no other than my
self." "True. As we passed bcjiealh one
of the street lamps I saw your face,
aud i:s every feature became impressed
upon my mind Y ou had saved mv life,
and perhaps even my very honor, and 1
had reason to remember you."
"To remember me?"
' Indeed, yes. You little thought
that the woman to whom you gave alius
and prnteclou would bec niie Lady
Melville, and was your future wile."
"This does indeed seem like a dream,"
sai I ! Ia Tour.
"T i you ; but to me it is reality."
"A-d you, s beautiful, s i truly
lowvy, henged in the open street?"
"O ne, and once only."
'I did not see your f.ice."
"No ; for il was covered by a veil. O i
the following riav one, in fact, that I
regard as one of the happiest in my life
an nl d ladv iu whom I had fortunately
inspired ennfi lence and some interest,
engaged ine as her seamstress My
gaiety returned. From ihe service I
have named I was raised to the postion
of companion and confidential friend.
0 ie day I was presented to an acquaint
ance of my patroness, Lord Melville.
He was a man of ubout sixty, tall, thin,
hut of dignified bearing.
" 'Mademoiselle,' he said, addressing
me, 'L know your history. Will you
marry ine?"
" -Marry you?' I questioned, much
surprised.
' 'Yes. I have an i ivnenso estate,
which I do not wish my nephew t ) in
herit. My health is delicate, and my
life lonely. If I can credit all I have been
told, you ure good and pure. Will you
become Lady Melville?'
' I love you, Frederic, wha luie.v not
of mv existence. I lowed you, although
1 had seen you but once. I c mid not
forg"t, and there was something in mv
heart and soul that t ld me we s'io ild
meet agiin, that our lives would run in
the stll-sima current; h iw, I k niw not,
and yet I !elt s ire. When I looked at
Lird Melville, and saw his resolute ex
pression of face, I feared he simply
wished to marry me iu order to carry
out his revenge,
"11 is persuasions were redoubled. I
knew that his years were many, nnd
that niy fortune would be great. 1
thought of you and how I coal J benefit
you did I but p iss.'s wealth, and at last
I yielded consent, nud becamo Lady
Melville."
' II mv strange it : seems," replied
De la Tour.
"Yes, dear love, as you bate said,
like some lairy tale. I, a poor, fiieud
less orphan, become the wile of one of
) inland's riches', peers.
"IL.ppy Lord .Melville 1" exclaimed
Fieilcic, "lie had the power to enrich
you."
"lie was happy," continued Madame
do la Tour, "jini never regretted his
choice. 11a knew that I had suju you
be'ere our mai i iage,"
"Y ni told him?"
' Yrs, ull. It was not until nficr our
marring, Fiederic, that I again saw
you, and uUhoiih we s on learned t
read eaeh other's h'-arts, our lips were
silent. L ird Menille vicuiilik
beyond my wiliest expectations. He
Could not spenj his i.ic one, and with
that wisdom peculiar to linu he
real z d that while tho difference
between our ages rendered love impossi
ble, gratitude would attach mo to him.
Three mo . ills after our m uriago L ird
Mel. ille died, leaving mc all he pos
sessed, and I resolved never to unrry
gain, unless I emld espouse the ouo
man who always held my heart."
"Aid you won tho Live ot that
man?"
" iVithnul his knowing ma to be the
beggar wnin i i his kindness had pro
tected," rej pined L luis.i do la Tour, ex
tendi g her hand.
"You tmii-oiber," continued the
speaker, "that I refused the purse.''
"Yes, you accepted but one coin."
"Only one, and at that time I was
almost starving."
"Hut it procured you food."
"No," replied Madame do la Tour,
unclasping a ruby necklace thr.t encir
cled her white throat. To this uetklace
hung an exqaisie mcdalliou.
"See, dear Frederic. I did uot part
with my treasure," As she spoke she
touched a spring aud disclosed a coiu.
' It is the one I gave you 1" exclaimed
Do la Tour.
"Yes,"
"And you retained it?"
"I would sooner have parted with my
life. I showed it to a baker, and asked
him to truset me. He did 60, and the
following day I was able to pay for
ihe food his kinduess permitted me to
cat"
"Ye, my dear, I know you, but you
did nut recognize inc."
"Snrelv, there has been a fairy io my
life." replied he.
"Why do you say so?"
"Ilei'iiuse, when you saw me first, I
was only a poor, struggling painter, but
from the time of our meeting the lido
changed, and prosperity visited me."
"Would you know the namo of the
fairy f"
"It was you, Liniso," exclaimed Fred
eric, joyfully. "You bought my pic
ture?" 'Many of them, and have won your
love "
"Yc, mv heart, my very soul."
Fi ederic do hi Tour took the gold
piece and pressed it to his lips. To that
siuie bit of gold he owed happiness and

BEECHER INJTHE MINES.
Virginia (N'ev.) Ciimni. 1 .
This inoroinp, at 10 o'clock, Ilev,
Henry Ward Keecher and his wife,
accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Fond,
Superintendent l'attou, and a rep liter uf
the Chronicle, visited the bonanzi mines.
When the patty reached the dressier-
rooms of the C. and C. shaft they paused
a moment. When shown the rough
clothes which are placed at the disposal
of visitors Mr. lleechcr said : "All right;
this suits me; liu-ry up. now." I i a few
minutes the dressing was completed,
aud Mr. LVecher remarked that if he
knew where the pay ollice was he'd
go nnd draw some wages. All hands
s um got on the cage, and gelling off at
the drift which connects with the bon
anzi mines, Mr. licecher was particu
lurly anxious In gain information about
minii'g matters, and piled Mr. Fatten
with quesli ins on each detail that came
beneath his notice. Nothing escaped
his eye, and he wanted a reason for
everything. After a while Mr. Fallon's
face w ire a troubled expression, and he
seemed to have nn idea that the inquisi
tive ditino was a spy sent out by some
of ihe New York brokers to get points
on the mines.
Presently the party reached a drift
where the beat w is intense, and Mr.
It.-echer began to think that after all he
had it knocked the bottom entirely
out of hell.
' Is there much more of this?" he in
quire f, as he niped his njck and face
wil'i a ton el.
"It will get cool as wo gfl along,"
sai l Mr. l'.ilton,
"1! it it don't get cool; I'm getting
hotter every minute."
l!y way of a j 'ke the rest of the
crowd professed that it was quite cool,
and nil that was left for Mr. 1! ether to
d was t i gronl ut tho terrific heat,
take nu extra sti'ch in his pants and
stumble ul ing. Mrs. Keecher stood the
heat well, and said she rather liked it.
The fact of the matter was that Mr.
Pond had determined to revolutionize
Mr. licechei's ideas about hell, and,
taking the hint from Mr. Fatten, had
dressed hi in with thick, warm clothes,
and the result was that the unfortunate
man was al nost suff calcd.
Tho word was soon passed along the
drifts among the miners that IS.'echer
wns there, nnd when the party returned
to the cooling statior, scores of the
niineis were gathered at the spot to get
a In k nt the fari ous preacher. He
chatted with a lew before gelling on the
cage, a id said afterward that lie had
never seen better physical men. SubsC
quenly tho party inspected the pan-mill
and assay office, a .d were delighted with
the tiip.
HOW IT FEEL TO BE STRUCK BY

may be so q uick that in less than a

and men, escaping or delivered, swarm
together, under Hie flish and tempest
on the nreensward. A resistless, heavy
weit'ht. steaming and running through
the liarr.c, is the consciousness I chief
ly remember, with the idei that I had
heen chosen as part nflhe lightningrod
for a huge nnd incomputable dischaige.
The experience was, moreover, a single
moment in wondei land. AU customs
and institutions were abolished for a
time. In such a p.i-sige as I wis al
lowed to stand iu far a moment, death
becomes nothing and life is all, but a
wakeful night aud a weeks headache was
the result.

A PARROT STORY.
A few days age a citizen, who had
been on the lookout for a parrot for
some time, was riding by a house on
Prospect street, when the very bird he
wanted was suddenly discoiered. Hav
ing convinced himself that Foil was a
good talker, be soou struck a bargaiu.
and bore her away from tho colored
woman, who needed cash more than
pels. Ten days passed, nnd yet Poll
did not utter a Dote, though she had
every care and seemed healthy enough.
The former owner was sent for to solve
the mystery, and there was a huge grin
on ber countenance as she obeyed the
summons.
"Nuflii' ails dat bird nnfTlii' l'all
'cept dat you doan' understand him,"
she explained as she looked into tho
cage.
Placing the caso on a chair on the
verandah, sho g ive it a shake, drew a
long breath, and began :
'Now, den, you infernal, mis'ble
lyin', cheatiu' -1 wake up an' gin
us 1 an' 1st dis gem'len .?e dat vou
am all right, an' I doan' be sulkin'
'round no mo' I Wake up dar I you
blackgunrd I Hoop ep dut voice, ye

The parrot immediately woke up and
began chattering and singing, and iu a
minute was altogether a new bird.
"Y'er see, dis yere bird mu-t be swore
at rig'larly twice a day," explained the
woman, ' or he won't gin a single squaw.
He's been brung up dat way, au' ye'll
liev to humor him in it."
"Uut I cau't swear nt him, woman
I belong to the church 1" exclaimed the
citizen.
"Den de missus will hev to, sail."
"My wife swear I"
"Well, den, git do hired man, kaso
dis bird hrz got to be swored at, an'
donn' you fnrgit it."
"Well, then, I don't want him at all,
and you may take him away. No oaths
shall ever be uttered oo my premises,
pets or no pets "

"Cheese it 1 cheese it I cheese it I"
shrieked the parrot, in great linger,
and as the bird was b true away, the cit
izen wiped his brow, and musingly
said :
"This world is getting so wicked that
a good man is scarcely safe in buying a
stone dog." Free Press.
IN DE LORD AND MY DDG.
Atlanta Constitution.
The most of our city readers nro fa
miliar with the figures of an old blind
negro which has appeared on our streets
for the past week or two without any
guide.
The old fellow goes limping along,
beating his way carefully with bis stick,
and halting every ten steps to be sure
that be is on solid ground. It i pitiful
to watch him. lie stands on the side
walks in the midst of the hurrying
throngs, bewildered, trembling and un
certain, Hiiciiiiscioiis uf who or what is
rti"hing by him. He reaches nut timid
ly with his slick, nnd finding that it taps
on good pavement, he steps up to il
and reaches out for a new adiance.
On yesterday he was passing slowly
by our office, when suddenly some one,
holdi g an uplifted umbrella, brushed
by him hurriedly. The points of the
umbrella struck him sharply over the
head. The old fellow halted abruptly,
beinc evidently mystified us to what it
was that hit him. He stood iu his track,
rubbing his hands acruss bis face, won
dering what it could have been, and
whether or not i; would cn-ae again.
It was then that we asked him bow it
was that he got along without uny one
to guide him.
"I trust iu tie L ird," he said, "aud
my little dog."
We noticed as he said this a little
good natured looking (L-o (is this the
way to spell il?) sitting between his
legi. Seeing that ho was not connected
with the old fellow by a string, we asked
huu Ii i w it was the d ig helped him.
"lie don't lead me." he Slid, "but bo
notices me mighty close, and carries me
homo straight. When I start home he
cues alon" rii;ht by mc, and when 1
turn a corner, if ii ain't the right way,
he will rti'i au iiost me, nnd keep but
ting at me till I get in the tight street.
No matter what pait of town I'm in, he
knot's where home is. S nni'limes he
takes me home when 1 nio t ready to
go. He takes a notion that it is lime
we were getting there, and he just buis
ut my leos till he makes me go his way.
and the first thing 1 know I find myself
at home. Oil, yes, si'', I trusts in de
Lord and dis little tloo down here?"

HOW TO
MANAGE ONE'S
CREATURES.
FELLOW
And here e may offer to those wlin
would live ciimfoitably a little counsel
upon the method of managing one's fel
low creatures. Never be so weak as to
consult their comfort when it interferes
materially with your owe ; never stay
listening to a story when you would pre
fer to be telling one yourself, but imme
diately break away from the egotistical
wretch, conning your retreat with as
thick a varnish of good-breeding as you
Can manage, unl-ss, ol course, your en
tertainer be pour, and of no reputation;
iu which case you cau beak away with
out any excuse nt all. A'love all, never
be afraid of ordeiing your fellow rrea-
tores about. I! ght persons out of ten
do as they are told, and tlio looeer one
lues, the more plainly dues one observe
the similarity between masses of human
biiigsand finks of sheep, who will
contentedly follow their lea lor through
a miserable gap in the quickest hedge,
while a fi c-barred gate close hy is wide
ope i ready to admit them. Therefore,
order boldly, and you will bo obeyed
Ljt re neoiber a great deal lungs on
the word boldlr; for if you make a mis
take, and express your desire in a
dilfi lent, hesitating way, as though there
were any chance of a refusal, you will
probably get iho refusal. Everything
comes to him who waits, is no, wns
a proverb. The last reading of it is,
'i;,erything comes to him who aks."
Do you war.t a situation in your friend's
banking establishment for your Hopeful,
whose ideas of his father's purse are on
too liberal a scale well, go and ask for
one, nnd it refused ask again, and si nn
la ''ii no uiilil you get what you want.
It is no trouble, and besides it is so gen
tlemanly too. It does not look well?
Nonsense, everybody dies it; and ho
arc yon that you should set yourself up
lor being better than your neighbor",
firs inth? You think it a pity the old
fashioned cloak nf humility and modesty,
especially for a youag person, is never
worn now? 0, my friend! it has gone
out of fashion long ago; we must do os
o'liers do, or wo would be l.'ft far be
hind in the race th it we sluulJ ucver

indirect cause of the great l okima war
of ISfiG. It is a huge granite stone iust
in the edge of the river, on l ho Wash
ington side, and was used from time
inimemoiial as a a place of burial bv
Indians. It lises about 20'J feet ubove
the water, is several hundred yards in
ength, covered with a dense forest of
pines and fir trees at its base, and on
top is bare and broken with nn.netise
fissures. A single fir tree stands up in
its points like a solitary sentinel abovo
the resting place of ihe Indian warrior.
The indians were accustomed years ago
to bring their dead here for interment.
The corpse was placed in the canoe used
by the departed in life, nnd nt bis side
bis bow and arrows, bis pipe nnd blankets
and all he owed on earth, and then he
was laid away in some cleft uf the reck.
ft-rwards the Iriends ol the d:'partd
would return to bring supples nf dried
salmon and other edibles, which they
imagined the d 'ad needed iu the hunt
ing grounds of the Great Spirit. Finally
the sac: ilegious pale-face, being in need
of canoes for mundane purposes, found
it more convenient to borrow thoc of
the dead broves than make his own,
and acted accordingly dumping tie
bones of the depaited chiefs into tie
crevices of the rotkt and bearing off
their blankets. Tl.l, of cou se, in-
ceased the red man, nnd finally brought
on tho Yakima massacre auJ subl!
