".My lather died wneu l was still u child, leaving me to the care ot my brother and two elder sisters. M lather had ad his children educated at home, and would have followed the same plan legardinvj myself if he had lived, for he did not fancy the idea of sending girls away from home to be educated l'ut my bioiher thought dilierenlly, and when 1 was twelve he n aeed ine in a miauling school in another State." "Four years passed, and among my friends at school (hero was one to whom I was bound bv the warmest lies of friendship lwrtha firey. At last the vacation came when slit must return to her distant home, and she entreated mo to accompany her. Mv brother's consent was gained, and Rertl.a and I wero happy us possible lie came for us l.ertha 8 brother, Klroyd Grey. It would lie unpossilil Oemi'ia. to describe mm. His rare charm was something indefinable. In the seclusion in which I had always lived I had mini'leil but slightly w the world. Kvery Sunday, in the St. Uerthold church, to which wo wen marshaled bv our Diccetitress, a faint vision came to my eyes ot the splendor and marrnilieence ot tho outside ot the college walls, but among all llie. faces I had scanned so curiously there had never been one to compare with his. I was but a foolish child, perhaps, but when his deep voice camoto me, rich, the jubilant summer evening, and still I kept my heart's idol -worship en shrined sacredly in my heart. "Wo stood one evening at the gate, Uertha, Klroyd and I. It was a peaceful scene upon which wo were looking. Tho sky, with its gleaming stars, was reflected in 'the motionless lake. Even tho mocking bird hushed its jubilant chorus, as if to listen to the silence. "What a calm and peaceful night ! What rest, what quiet I Would that it might continue forever, murmured Klroyd, turning his eyes upon mo with a look that always rendered me rest less nnd uneasy. "You are insatiable,' I aid with a laugh, "'Yes. I want this glorious night to stay, with its deep rest and peace. lint I Tnow that the peace. 1 see now will vanish almost as quickly as the night. '"Why ?" I asked half unconscious- y- ... "Tiecatiso tho star that is illuming everything without and within will Hash meteor-like from the horizon,' he said, softly. "I tried hard to control my emotion, and succeeded, I think, for never had I met his gaze more calmly. Just then Mrs. Grey called Heitlia, and, very glad nl the interruption, I turned and went with my friend, calling back to him laughingly : 'You may slny and watch your favorite night, Mr. (Srey, while its beaut v lasts." "It has lost both already," 1 is re turned, pointedly, and I felt my face binning with blushes. Ah, Georgia, tho dreams that haunted my sleep that night ! l!ut tho early morning mail brought sad news to me of my brother's deat h, and our sudden descent from wealth to poverty. Ho was fond of speculation, and had been remarkably siircesslul until lately, when fortune tinned from him in an enterprise in which he had staked all so he lost all. I must stay where 1 was lor tho present, my sister wrote, until we oould lnnl a home. 1 told them of it all after awhile. I'erlha and .Mrs. Grey sympathized with me kindly and sincerely. Hut through it all Klroyd Grey was silent "From that time 1 perceived a cold tiess in It's manner, and ho gradually drew away from all his old habits Bertha and 1 were along in all on walks and rides, and we propelled our own boat, over the glassy laws, leav ing Mr. Grey to attend to important business that enirrossed so much ol his attention. Whatever grief I might. lave felt at. discovering that I had been worshiping a clay idol, none o them knew. "I was resolute and determined, and before the month was hall out all my plans were settled. I knew that my sisters would bo compelled to labor for a maintenance, and resolved Irom the liwt that I would bear my part of the burden. Without asking advice from any one. 1 answered an adver- tisement for a governess thai l iiad seen and in two weeks received a letter of acceptance. "When I wrote to my sisters and apprised them of the step 1 had taken, they warmly opposed it, and declared that they were more than able to sup- pott me, but I was hrm and would not vield. At this time mv friends were utterly ignorant ol my inten tions. A wei.'k before my departure I was standing at the gate wailing lor I'ertha to join me in a ride, when Klroyd came up and asked a little anxiously : Will you not le you intend doing, You know we are know.' I told him without hesitation, lie listened until I had finished, and after awhile said, with an anxiety which he strove to conceal : "Thanks for your confidence.

There now resides in an old log hut a fe miles from East Plainfield, Guern sey county, an old hermit whose life and exploits make up quite a romantio history. His name is Charles Allen ton, and ho is known throughout the wholo neighborhood as "Uld Allen ton." Tho following is a brief histqry of tho life of this singular hermit, who for so many years has occupied the old hut in which ho was born ; Charles Allenton's father came to this vicinity about eighty years ago, w hen this region was but a howling wilderness, lie built himself a log cabin, and in this cabin or hut, his eldest son, Charles, tho subject of this sketch, was born about tho year 1818. Charles was a bright lad and grew up to manhood and when ho was about twenty-four years old ho becamo en gaged to a young lady in tho neigh borhood and the day was appointed for tho wedding. Sad to relate, the evening before the wedding his in tended took sick, and on the morning of the next day she was a corpse. Her lover could not stand the terrible shock unci ho wns stricken down with a terrl- fever, with which diseaso ho lingered for ninny weeks, but llnally recovered, lie wm not, however, the same Charles Alletiton, and his mind seemed altcctcd by tlio severe trials he h:id endured, llo could not bear to sluy at home, mid one day ho left suddenly, mid for many years no trace of him could bo found, but about In the year ISIS '!, when the irold excitement ran high, ho was heard from iu Call fonila. Iu the mean time his brothers and sis lets moved away, nnd although the l.iuil owned by his father changed hands, thu hut was left 8tatidiii!r.
