SAVED FROM HIMSELF. A beautiful garden full of rare flow. orsytnd a girl as purely beautiful as the j But to-day Eunice- Hay's lovely face wears a clowl, and the calm depths of lier blue eyes are troubled; for she is waiting for ber lover, and alio know that the ooroing hour must decide for weal or woe her whole future life. Three years before, by her dying mother's side (then only a girl of fif teen,) she had promised solemnly never to wed one who was addicted to intemperate habits. When six months ago she had met Claud Erlo ho had seemed everything that was noblo. The more she had seen of him the more her heart bad instinctively gone out to him, and at length when he had asked for the precious boon of her hand in marriage she had given him without hesitation the answer he craved. For a whilo the course of their woo ing had run in the smoothest, most blissful of channels but lately a shadow had come over tho brilliancy of Eunice's happy love-dream. For some time reports had been brought to her ears of her lover's gradually growing dissipation. At first with an indignant soorn Bhe had refusod to believe; but too soon she had been forced to the conviction that what she had heard had some foundation in truth, A step came up the path to where Eunice sat. "Ah, hero she is ! My little queen in the midst of her subjects." Clando dropped, as he spoke, a handful of fragrant blossoms in her lap, and then seated himself by her side. Then, for tho first time, he noticed the troubled expression her face wore, and attributing it to some trivial cause, which his presence would soon comfort, began lightly to question her. For a few moments the girl hesita ted. As slio gazed np into his handsome, laughing eyes, she shrank from speak ing words which miht drive him in anger from her side, and separate her for all time from Lim. She loved with an intensity such as a nature like bers could feel but once. But at length she began in a low voice, which guthered firmness as she went on. First she told him of her solemnly uttered vow to her dying parent, and then of what she had heard concerning his intem perate habits. A dark flush of anger sprang to Claude's face as he rose to his feet, exclaiming, "I will not say that what you have heard is false I will not tell an untruth but what matters it if in the society of jovial friends I have onoelin a while ovcrstenued the bounds ot sobriety t Eunice, 1 thought that you loved me, but 1 see 1 was mistaken. Eunice's face grew very pale as she listened to the torrent of passionate words bis wounded pride had dictated. She laid her soft hand upon his arm nleadiufily. "1 teareu you wouia do angry, but I was forced to speak as 1 did. Oh fjlauile, she went on, "only promise me that " lis flung off her hand with a scorn ful laugh. "such lukewarm love as yours will not mi dice for mo 1" he exclaimed. Without farther words U simile away. Hidden as sue was by the soreemng foiiaire, Eunice had no need to lear prying eyes. With a patheiic cry ihe covered her face wall her slt'iule finger and sank upon the ground. "Oh. mother." she murmured, "I have obeyed your wishes, but I have broken mv own heart ! Tho following day Claudo Erie left tho village. Thiee years rolled awav, years which had sadly changed tho tenor of Eunice Kay's lifo. Her loving father, stricken suddenly down in tho prime of his life, had died,leaving his vonncr daughter alone in thp wide world, and not only alono but poor Too proud to bo dependent upon or pitied by her friends, Eunice had left the borne whero sue naa been burn and which she had loved so well. After a time bIio succeeded in ob taining employment through turning to use her facility in the dainty art of designing. Her lovely refined faco and lady like, unassuming ways soon attracted tho interested notice oi uer employer and what ho learned concerning her only upou inquiry increased that interest. Mr. Grey and his worthy wifo lived all alono in a stately homo. They weix- noted fur their benevolent eccen tricities, and as such their step was set down to bo by their friends when they asked Eunice to make her home Willi them. She hud been with her kind friends about a year when, one evening. Mr. Grey said, as he roiio from the dinner table. "Wife, I would liko you and Miss R'ty to bo ready in a couplo of hours to accompany mo to a lecture. I am acquainted with tho lecturer, and in him intemperance has a strong adversary." Eunice had expected to see a gen tleman somewhat advanced in years; but instead, a tall, slight, youthful figure stood upon the platform. With an uncontrollable start, the girl recog nized in the lecturer, whose rich, elo quent tones were already enchaining l ho attention of that large, cultivated audience, the lover win had gone from her in anger lour years ago. Y hen it was over, J'auuce found that though she had not met his glance, Claud had seen and recognized her. After a cordial hand-shake from Mr. rrey and his wile, Claude turned to their young companion, exclaiming, "This is truly a must delightful sur prise I 1 did not expect to meet an old friend here to-night. Miss llay, if you will permit mo, 1 would like to accompany you home. I here is no enjoyment so great as talking over by gone days. that evening Sir. Grey s drawing- room witnessed a scene of happy re union ii9, unrebuked, Claude clasped his recovered treasure to his heart. "Eunice," he said, after a while,"the anger with which I left your presence was short-lived. When it calmed I thought over your words; and though they wounded my pride, 1 could not help but see that tney were only just and right. I determined to do as you had asked me: but until time had proved the reality of my reformation, would not return to you. W hen I returned to your homo to plead for my old position in your love and es teem, I found you goue whero I could not learn. But, my darling, we will think of the past no longer: but of tho bright future in which we may live together !" Eunice did not reply in words: but her little hand sought aud found its refuge in his clasp. religTous. The Methodlsls propose to locate a colK-go at some one of the Black Hills' towns.

I only bought one box, hoping a plum ber or go man would come along and buy it; aud by gum I every body that ha been In sampled a strawberry out of that box, shivered as though It wa sour, and gone oft without ssklng the price."

In conversation with a Republican reporter yeslerduy afternoon Bishop Bowman said : 1 11111 no; a believer In modern spiritualism aud ilonoVbelieve that spirits upset chairs and movo tables, but I can siy that I hove never been able to account for many remarkable ex- rlcnces I had during my life nuder different circumstances. We arc much nearer the spirit world than we think, perhaps, and the spirit f the departed dead, I believe, have a certain influence over our minds. "When voyaging on Urn Red Sea I inuilc It a practice to pray every night and morning for my wife, from whom I was absent, and who at the time was an Invalid. One evening I knelt dowu as usual and tried to pray for her, but found I could not do It. 7' Ins worried me very much, but I attributed my Incapacity In pruy for her lo nervousness, 11 I had preached sermon to the passengers on board that af ternoon.

However, 1 w as anx-iuis to reach a point where I could expect to receive additional fidiima relative to her condition. Filially, on my urrivul at Home, I found a letter awaiting iuc, conveying tho news that Mia. Bowman w as deud and buried. HI10 had died on the tunic evening that I found tntself unable to pray for her while voyaging over thu lied Sea I his experience 1 was never able to account tor, let I shall never forget It. About the same time my dauithtrr had an other extraordinary experience, but it was no! similar to mine. When in Paris she would shut her ryes and c-n Ul then see her mother's face distinctly On ihe evening of her mother's death she ul- tempted lo do this and was terrified at not see ing the face as usual thai she ran out of the room into another apartment. She felt that iouiethlng had happened, bill her friends told her that her fears were all Imaginary, i'ubse queutly she received news that ber mother had died about Ihe time ebo found it impossible lo see ber face with her eyes closed. Iu this house, (referring lo his residence, where the conversation took place,' about this time Inst year, I was lying sick, at the point of deall-, the physicians being unable to predict whether I would live or die. Then I had some very happy visions, as I stated in a sermon deliv ered recently In the Music Hull at Boston.

When Australia wa tlrst discovered by the English, as many strange stories were told about the wonderful things to bo found there as we used to hear in the early days of Cali fornia. Among other things it was said that the leaves on a certain treo had a habit of des cending from their proper place aud walking along the ground. A party ot English tailors had left their ship to roam along the coast and "see what they could see." They were resting under a tree, lying ou their backs, probably, and naturally gaxlug upward, when a sudden breeze shook down a number of leaves, which turned some orsuults In the ulr after the manner of leaves gem-rally, and then Boated to the ground. 'Die sailors were surprised St this shower, because It was not the fall ot tho year, but midsummer, ami these falling leave looked fresh and green. It was strange to tee leave deserting tho treo without auy tort of season; but (hit was nothing to what followed. Afier a short rest these able bodied leaves began crawling along on thu ground toward the trunk of the tree from which they came, and the uinszed tailors started up In terror. They probably knew from experience that peo ple who come In contract with the ground may also expect to come lu contact with varleus crawling luscets, but walking leave were something altogether out ot tbu common way and they look to their heels tit oui e, utid lost no time in getting on board the vessel. 7' ho land was certaluly bewitched, and one of the men said, in relating tho adventure, that he expected every minute lo see the trees step out und dance a regular jig.
