CHAPTER I. A July afternunn in church. A lan guid breeze rustles through tho open door and windows, bringing little cool whis pers of what the evening holds m store for the weary and warm. The congrega tion is small (for only sincere worshippers go to church on hot summer attemoons.) The sun shines with heightened glory through the one stained glass window. It throws a bright halo around the vener able head of the old clergyman; it fulls in alanting rays upon the fine haudsotne face of young doctor Grey; it lays redly on tho white dress of a young girl, aitting near I lie chancel. Mie is a gentle looking gir . . t i. i it.t it '. wun uur uair aim low nroau. nrow. llcr large gray eyes, full of a soft, brave light arc resting intently on the minister', face. The sermon is nearly concluded before doctor li ley awakes to the fact that fur the last quarter of an hour he has been deliberately glaring at this new face, und wondering what makes it so dilTeroiit from nil the ot her faces he has ever seen bo fore. "It must he that pathetic droop about the, corners of the mouth," ho thinks, "or is it the indcliuable look ol sadness in the eyes. 1 wouder who she is perhaps Hannah can tell inc. The organ peals forth a dismissal and receiving a timely nudge from his sister, he rises mechanically and holds open the pew door for her egress. ,.111 .1 . It O'l 1 1 "iio is mat iiaunar; lie asks ea gerly as he sees his sister nod ami smile to the young girl in white. "Dorothea Kgcrton, our new neigh bor, I wrote you of her. hut you were so busy sight-seeing in Europe, I hardly presume you remember the fact. Is she not a beauty ?" "She has a pleasing face certainly. I: she an orphan ?" . ' i , i i . l es, iier parents are ileail. I'urotuea feels her loss, acutely, and although they have been dead fur several years, she never mentions their luiuies. Her biiM- iicss agent told us this w hen he came to the neighborhood to buy her a place. Is il not sad ? She is so young, ami all alone in tlie World except a maiden aunt, who is tiiiile an invalid, 1 have become r fond of her, aud she seems to like coming to us in a Iricndly, informal way, although she visits very little at other houses in the neighborhood. She promised to come over tins evening to tea, 1 Hope seeing you with me will not cause her to keep away. She is extremely shy with strangers, ltugn. aim i want vnu to he friendly to her and not. let her silent ways keep you from getting acquainted." "I see what you mean Hannah, 1 must use all my conversational talents to draw out this little timid bud, and not wince at the thorns that lnav prick me in return. Oh! nonsense, Hugh ! Yoii laugh at everything but I know what a kind, good heart you have in .spite of your ef forts to hide it" and she gave her brother's arm an appreciative . atiueeii which he returned by a look of tender love and trust. "My little sister thinks too highly of her big brother," he Raid laughingly as they entered the eiml, quiet room, where their mother awaited them. lu the evening Dorothea came, and doctor (ircy exerted himself to entertain this sli V, tiuiet liltle till, whom his .ti ter and utullier had learned tu .ivo Tli it he was successful was proved by the merr. laugh and sweet, luw voice that Wis heard oftoucr than usual that even ing. After tea, they all adjourned to the piatza anil while the young people talked merrily, Airs, drey nodded a placid ac companiment from her comfortable arm chair. Doctor (ircy looked nruiind on his handsome, peaceful, old homo, as it lay hat lied in the last, liiigerin ' beams u.l the d.'piirting sun and unconsciously breathed a sigh of inlinite content. "This quiet, dear old home is such a relief to me he murmured alter my hustling life abroad, spent in glaring ho tels, or showy hoarding nouses. "Then you are glad to be at home again, mid can appreciate .the restful quietness of the (Ircy lltmse, and country after the excitement of travel, aud city life T Indeed I can. Miss Kgcrton, for I uui heartily sick of stone walls and dusty invemciit, and this delightful old country home is the dearest spot on. earth tome, I am fond of tho country, and want plenty of fields anil woods around me. Like the Douglas I would "rather hear tho lark king than the ruouso squeak." Rut 1 enjoyed my. Irsvela too, and hare many pleasant associations ooiineoted with them. Still I am truly glad to find my self anchored for good under the dear old rooftree." Liko DickeuV traveler vtiti can al ways remember now," said Dorothea mer rily. "Doctor drey hushed too, tho' when he spukc his voice w as low, and grave. "II my memory is not treacherous Miss Eaerton, ho had many very sorrowful re- memlirances, among the pleasant ones." And lit looked longingly it his dear old mother nodding in her easy chair. Dor othea saw the look, und a sad wistful light came into tho gray eye. A silence fell on the little group, which was broken at last by doctor brey s asking " hat new building is that I ec in the direction of Overton, Hannah?" 'That is the new wing being added to the Iusano Asylum. The building was too small to accommodate all the patients comfortably, so the Directors are having it enlarged. "A good idea. How sud to think so many human beings are shut out from this beautiful world of ours. Poor, cra.v eings; how unutterably wretched their lives. " "Don't remind us of such horrible things brother, poor Dorothea is shivering now. Jell ui sonietluno; more of vour travek CHAPTER II. ''Hut Maine us women not. If some appear Too cold tit lime: and some too uav ami lieht Souie urit fi gnaw deep. Some woes arti hunt to iK'ttr, Who knows thel'asl.' Ami who can Judge us right?" riv . i , . t i i line sped on, ami notwithstanding lus busy professional career, doctor (irey tound leisure to see much ol Dorothea Egerton and the more he saw of her, the more puzzieu lie wcamc. J hero was a nameless restraint in her manner at tunes that chafed ami worried hiiii, but in spite ot this they had become mute irood friends. He could not help thinking there was a mystery about her past. She never spoke of hoi' hfe before coming to Overton, and when questions were asked , answered them briefly and quietly. Ho knew she had known sorrow deeper than the loss of parents in childhood, for in the often sad, and always patient face he read While yet her cheek wat bright with aumnier UIIH1IU, "She had 4iiown sorrow he hail walked with her: (lllsuppt'tl.aiid broke w till her the ashen crust." And with the innate sympathy of a strong, brave heart, uo longed to help her bear her sorrow, and lighten her griet by sharing her secret. His unerring instinct told liiui that this secret grief could be caused by nothing derogatory to her, for when he thought of her kind gentleness to the poor niul siitloring, her sympathy for all humanity, her high ami noble principles, which were daily exemplified in her own solitary hie, he lelt she was us pure and good as an angel. fsomo such thought ns this was in his mind as he walked by the "Woods," Miss Egerton's home, lt was an old red brick mansion of two stories covering a huge space of ground, and completely surrounded on three sides with thick dark woods, from which circumstance it de rived its name. I'he cold twilight nf a December night was settling down on I lie dark old house as doctor (ircy passed, and he thought tu himself what a gloomy homo its young mistress must find it to he. "Hut even that old, dark building she call brighten into cheery homelike beauty," he said. t in 1 then looking up aud seeing Dorothea approaching mm trom towards Uverton be hastened to meet her. Well met," he said gaily as he drew her hand under his arm. "I was jnst thinking of turning und calling at "The Woods. " "Were you ?" He wondered at the faint tones, and why she was so closely veiled ! "ies, I had a message tor your aunt : Itnt are you well Miss Dorothea?" "Oh yes, quite well. I have walked rather fast as it is so late, and . What message did you have?" lie looked at her, astonished. "I sec you have fatigued yourself very much" he said gently. "J'o not talk, but lean upon me." She tottered as he spoke, and would have fallen but for his restraining arm. She managed with his help to reach the house door, hut there she stumbled, ami fell on the lowest etep. He raised her up and put her down in one of the rustic chairs on the porch, lie then untied her veil, and found to his utter surprise and consternation that her forehead was bound with a linen hand kerchief, and that the blood was oozing from her lell temple. "You are badly hurt," he exclaimed, hastily. "Oh no" she said quietly. "I I fell and struck my temple against something." Her face turned crimson as she spoke, and her eyes did not meet his. "I will go in and bathe it immediately," rising as she spoke "Dorothea !" "She trembled und sank hack in the chair; his voice was stem ami husrse from suppressed emotion. "Do you think nie a brute?" he hurst forth, "that you treat mo in this way ? Am I so little your friend that you cannot trust me lo examine your Wound? Sit still aud let me bind up this hurt prop erly." Culling to a servant who just then en tered the gate, he kad for water and bandages. As he was carefully and ten derly adjusting the bandage with lingers accustomed to such delicate work, Miss lllaiue came out to them leaning on her gold-headed cane, her inseparable com panion. "Oh Dorothea, 1 begged you not to go, I knew something of this kind would be fall you soma day. My child why were you so obstinate ?" "Hush auntie." lVrothea struggled up and laid her hand on her aunt's mouth. "How could I imagine 1 would he so clumsy as to full and hurt myself? Rut it is nothing serious auntie dear, and you must not hsik so woe begone." She kissed her aunt's quivering lips, and sank back in her chair. Doctor (Irey liaiked from aunt to ncice and mado up his mind that the aunt knew the mystery about her, aud lamented it. However be bud to look after his patient now, and raising her from the chair, he assisted her into the parlor, arranged her cushions comfortably, and promising to see her on the morrow, took his leave. His head was in whirl of conflicting emotions us he went down the steps, but standing out in the clear light which no power could dim, was the knowledge that his heart was no lunger hit own. lie neither argued nor trilled with this knowledge, but bravely con fessed to his own soul that he loved, truly, warmly and tenderly this lonely orphaned girl. And lo himself he made a sacred vow to be to her a fearless, faith ful friend, a true devoted lover, and u shield from the malice of a cold, rough world. As doctor Grey reached the gate a man was coming in. A dark, rough looking man with sinister eyes, lie took un instinctive dislike to the man and stepped to one side to let him puss; but the man stop ted, und taking off his cap, asked sullenly : "Sir can you tell me if Miss Egerton has reached home ?" "She has. Do you wish to see her ?" "No sir. Thank you, sir. I only wish to know if she had reached home." "The mini went olf toward.! Overton, and doctor (irey stood a long time staring at 1 1 10 ground before he resumed his walk homeward, and when he looked to ward "The Woods" before entering bis own home, a deep sigh struggled to his lips and fell on the quiet darkness. TO UK I'OXriNl'Kll. MATRIMONIAL IWRTNF.K Sllll A man and his wife ought to be alike in must everything. It is said that folks like their opposite, their counterparts, und so they do in some respects. A man with blue eyes-goes mighty nigh dis tracted over a woman with hazel eyes. I did, and I'm distractod yet whenever I look into them. Rut in mental qualities nml emotional qualities and tastes and habits and principles and convictions ami the like they ought to class together. In deed it is better for them to have the same polities and the same religion. And so I have observed that the happiest un ions as a general thing ure those where the high contracting parties have known each other for a long time, and have assimila ted from their youth in thought and feel ing. When a man goes off to some wa tering plaeo and waltzes a few times with a charming girl aud falls desperately in love and marries her off band, it is a long shout and a narrow chance lor happiness. Why, we may live in the same town with people and not known as much about them as we ought to. l never made any mistake about my choice of a partner for the dance of life, but I've thought of it a thousand times that if Mrs. Arp had known I loved codfish and got up by duy- break every morning she never would Have had me. It was nip and tuck to get her anyhow, and that would have been the feather to bleak the camel's back. Well, I'm mortal glad she didn't know it, though I am free to say that if I liail known she slept until the second ringing of the lirst hell for breakfast and was fund of raw oysters il would have hadadamp- liitng effect on my ardor, lor a few min utes, only a few. Rut I have seen some mighty clever people eat oysters raw and sleep late in the lu.iriiiug. Hut still a man and his w ife can harmonize and com promise n giHal many of these things, ami it is a beautiful illustration of this to sec Mrs. Arp conking codfish lur me and fix ing it all up so nice with eggs aud ereaui, and il is a touching evidence of my un dying devotion to her to see me wandering atniiit the house lonely and forlorn every morning for an hour or two, and forbid ding even the cat to walk heavily while she sleeps. That dullish business coines to me honestly from my father's side, and my mother put up with it like a good, considerate wife, and we children grew up wilh till idea that it was good. I've heard of a young couple who got married and went off to Augusta on a tour, and the oiler struck his fork into a codfish ball and look a bile. He choked it down like a hero, and when his beloved asked him what was the matter, replied: "Don't say anything about- it, Mainly, hut as share as you are born there is something dead in the bread." Hill Ai, in Almi- III ('lllistitlltitlll. A Till i: STORY. A Coltirailo farmer having been to a re vival meeting, felt Very religions, and us they were entertaining some city friends he thought the proper thing to do Would be to have Morning prayers. So the household were assembled, aud he began by reading a chapter In the bible, then he requested them to kneel while he made a prayer. He commenced. Ten minutes passed, twenty, half au hour; then un hour wore its weary length along; the listeners began to grflw restless, but still he prayed with unabated vigor, with no signs of a termina tion, until it was high noun. His wife was in despair, all the farm Wol I .... I vet tit lie tiinie, liesnle lilt: Utilise Work ;aud she felt sure the kitchen lire Would be out, and their chance nfa dinner slim in deed. She was perfectly in accordance with hi" wish for morning prayers, but to have t Iii-m continued all day and fur into the night seemed literally too much of a good thing. At length unable to endure it longer, she leaned over uuj whispered to him: "John, don't you think you have pray ed long enough?" "Yes but 1 don't know how to wind the damn thing up!" TIIK ROAOTO KK IIICS. One of the richest men in Chicago was asked for a private interview by a Wall Street News reairter, who explained. "You are very rich. You have had won derful luck. Tell me what to speculate in: that 1 may make money." "Never speculate at all," was the scriau answer. , "Rut you have made money in railroad stocks, wheat, silver mines, cuiial stocks, etc." ( Not a dollar, young tnuu! In fact, that's the way I have lost thousands." "Why, then, how have you made your wealth?'' "Ry inventing a spring bed, and patent iug a bootjack. Let all speculation alone, and turn your attention to the solid wauts of the people." ADVU KTOOLO Mi:N. Don't presume on your age. Don't lie vain of your handsome gray hair nml whiskers. Don't set yourselves up as models of propriety in public und get full of booze in private. Don't think because young men arc young, they lire fools. They probably are, but you were young once yourself, Doll t lake tlie limit seats at ballet shows. Your bald Ilea. Is re licet lilt) light unpleasantly. Don t say vulgar things lielore ladies und excuse yoursclvca on the ground that your are old enough tu he their fathers. Don't forget that age must respect it self before il can command it from others. "Don't sour the world on you by sour ing yourself on the world. Don't fool with temptation. Don l he to j wise. Don't try to make love. The old fools are the biggest fiajls. Don't let your luvcof the world make you forge! ilial a man never gets too old to die. Don't try to be a boy. Your grand sons will attend to that part of the bus iness. Don't let the evening of life he less 'joyous than the morning. The freshness ol the. morning gave you vigor to work through tune; and the quiet ol the even ing should give you peace to rest through eternity. ISKl'l L HINTS. Wash whitewashed "walls with vinegar to make paper stick. Use white oil cloth, bound wilh red, hack of kitchin table, wash-stauds, and under hooks to hang tin. Salts of lemon will take stains from ivory knives. Camphor will prevent moths; the gum near your stiver will keep it bright. Wormwood or pennyroyal will drive out ants. One teaspooiiful of chloride, of lime, in three quarts of water, will take stains from white goeds. Rats mid mice avoid chloride of lime. Vinegar will remove lime from car pets. Quassia in sweetened water will de stroy flies. Saltpetre and olive oil will cure corns. 1 or damp c'oscts or cellars, put shallow dishes of unslaeked lime, aud change olten. Lot sunshine in all rooms; it is better than medicine. If a spider or dish gets burnt in tisinj, do nint scrape it, but put a liltle water and ashes in, nml let it get warm; it will come off nicely. Paint a lantern globe and varnish, lay on transfer pictures to set on your brack cts. Serve tin plates same way for curd receivers. Quite handsome.

I'rinn tltr ( 'liii ntii Tiihititr. One day last week a little girl, whoie name slipped the corespondent's usually retentive memory, was chased by a monster hoop-snake nearly a mile. Just as it seem ed that it was about to strike her, she lodg ed behind a large apple-tree. The rapidly whirling snake turned to follow und struck the tree with such force as to drive the horn-spike into the hard wnod over two inches. The child was so frightened that she sank down, her heart thumping as though it would burst out of her body. One of her brothers, who had seen her flying down thehill, went to see what was the matter. When he reached the tree it was quaking like an aspen and its leaves und fruit falling to tin ground in u perfect shower, the prostrate girl being almost bur ied beneath them. As soon us he jut her restored to consciousness he took a feuce rail and killed the venomous reptile, which w.is eleven feet two und a half inches in length and eight inches in circumference The hom-point on the tail was six and a halfiiiches long, ami so deeply imbedded in the very hard wood that it could not ex tricate itself. This all happened uear South Moiiutaiu, Va. W AS WILLING. (Seneral Forest was once approached by an Arkansas man who asked : "lieiicrul, when do you reck in' we're going to get onietliiii; to cat ?" 'Eat!' exclaimed the General, "did yonjoiu the army merely to get some thing to eat?" "Wall, that's uboiit the sue of it. "Here," calling an officer, "give this man something tu eat, and then have him shot. The officer uuihrstooJ the joke, aud re plied: ;'AU right, general." The Arkiuisus man, exhibiting no alarm, said ; "Rile uiu a ham, enp'n, stew up a couple of chickens, bake two or three boo cakes, fetch a gallon o' so o1 buttermilk, and loud ycr gnus. With sich induce ments, the man what wouldu't be williu' to die is a blame fool." A hearty meal was prepared for the soldier, but ho still lives. LiFirs dui:am. A large part of life's burdens are self iuqioscd and wholly needless.
