The Church 8taiaW-
WAS JUST IN TIME7
Helen Stuart was engaged to be married
k Lord Hughes, and the whole county
talked of tbe coming event as one of the
strangest that had taken place for many a
Say . ,
That the beautiful gifted girl of barely
SO should have accepted the hand of the
old earl was Indeed a matter of surprise.
Why had she chosen him, people asked,
when others of equal rank and younger
and more suitable had gone mad for love
of her? " " -
M night, when all the Inquisitive world
was asleep, Helen would loan from hei
window and gaze at the , starlit valley at
her feet and pour out her heart to the si
lenoe. !
"I could not help It," she would waiL
"It was to save poor Ralph's honor."
Yes, that was it. Her brother had told
her that Unless she married Lord Hughes,
to Whom he had mortgaged his property,
they must be ruined, turned out of house
and home and left penniless worse, im
prisonment would follow for Kalpb, for
that was. the old earl's alternative if she
refused,
' Three summers ago there bad come to
the village a young journalist, and Helen
and her brother had made his acquaint
ance, which grew quickly into Intimacy
and friendship.
Totally opposite to Ralph Stuart In
every way was Holmes Maclean. . Born ol
poor parents, who had left him at an early
am to strnflrsrla alone, ha had educated
1 himself entirely arid gained the post he
(neld on one of the best papers simply by
his brains and bard wor. ,
It waa on the night of his arrival that
he saw Helen Stuart and knew from
henceforth she must be the guiding star
of his life. ' 'X
"Would you wouldkvou let me walk
through this field with you There Is a
bull oyer there, and I am bo afraid."
"Certainly. Allow me to be of any
service I can, " be answered gravely. In
wardly blessing the bull. .
The next day brought an invitation to
the Manor HaU.
So it was that through that month ol
glorious summer weather he daily met
and daily grew to love with all bis strength
the beautiful Helen, who was not long in
returning bis affection.
"Helen," be whispered when the part
ing came, "I have no position to offer you
yet, but will you wait for me?" ,
That all happened three summers ago.
' and now she stood gaslng into she night,
the promised wife of old Lord Hughes.
She bad not heard one word from Holmes
Maclean in all this time, but she had often
read with pride and admiration his clever
artioles and stories and knew he was work
ing hard to make a home for ber.
The autumn came, and the old earl be
gan to agitate that the wedding should
take place before Christmas.
"Is there is there no other way?" onoe
more she cried, glancing into ber brother's
cruel face with bianohed cheek's.
"How many more times must I tell you:
It is my only Chanoe? Perhaps you would
like to see me imprisoned?"
: She stopped bim with a quick, sharp
cry.
"Tell him it shall be when he likes."
Two Sundays passed, and the third came
for the bans to be read for tbe last time.
"If any one know cause or Just impedi
ment why these two persons should not be
joined together in"
A commotion at the baok of the church
stopped the clergyman. A man was stand
ing up in tbeeongregatlon with hand up
raised, and then a deep voice rose above
the murmur of frightened voloes:
"I forbid the banns I"
A scene followed suoh as had never been
witnessed before.. Helen from her pew
recognized the voice, though she did not
see the strong, stern face of ber lover, and
with a cry she fainted. ,
When she returned to consciousness,
Holmes Maclean was kneeling by her side.
She was lying in the vestry, and anxious
faces were peering round the door.
' "What does this mean?" she murmured.
"Have you come to save me?" -
"I have told .them you were going to be
sold to that man. " .
"Then you have not doubted me?" she
breathed. . . "
' He carried ber ; through the astonished
crowd to her carriage and took ber home.
And on the way, as she gathered strength,'
she stretched out her hands imploringly.
"There Is Ralph, What will beoome of
him?" - - -. . ;.. - , ,
"Do not distress yourself, . sweet,", be
answered. "I know all his affairs. . And
what I bave earned for you shall clear
him. It is enough. Sou and I can live
In a cottage with love, after all can we
not?" .Exchange.
A Quaint Old Town.
Aries is one of those curious
old towns
that were evidently planned with an eye to
siege. Crossing the moat, one passes
through an embattled gateway with quaint
armorial carvings sadly mutilated by time.
The cobblestone streets are very narrow,
and, in their labyrinthine windings, re
mind one of tbe Eyles iof Bute. Having
safely threaded them, the center of the
town is reached the Place Royale. Here,
bard by the Hotel de Vllle, is the Cathe
dral of St. Trophimus. 1 Not far distant
from the cathedral are the remains of the
Roman theater. The two Corinthian col
umns still standing remind one of the
forum at Rome. The ground is strewn
with the fragments of pillars extending in
a line for a considerable! distance, and be
yond rise tier above tier in the form of a
semicircle the seats for the spectators.
Near to the theater is the most celebrated
of the Aries: antiquities, the great amphi
theater. It measures 40 feet by 841, and
there still remain two stories of 60 arches,
formed of such enormous blocks of stone
as call to mtnd the giant oirole at Stone
benge. Within the walls are vaulted
chambers opening on tbe arena, which are
supposed to have been the dens of wild
beasts. Above them there are 5 corri
dors and 43 rows of i seats, which were
capable of accommodating upward of 20,
000 people. ITbe: building is believed to
be of the time of Titus, and. though not
comparable in interest to tbe Coliseum at
Rome is in a much better state of preser
vation. The : amphitheater was in the
eighth oentury converted into a fortress
either by tbe Saraoena or by Charles Mar
tel, who erected four defensive towers,
tnree ox wnioh remain. London Quiver.

Xiora Jbigonier's death was onoe errone
ously announoed in the newspapers, and
be was eager to prosecute them. ! His law
yen, however, assured bim that he had no
case, having suffered no damage. "There,"
be said, "you are very muoh mistaken, for
I was going to marry a great fortune, who
thought I was but 74. Tbe papers said I
was 80,and now she will not have me."

said little Caleb Penquln, "what

that it might be rather long drawn out."

FALLING IN LOVE.
The lint time I saw Mrs. Periwinkle
waa when she was "sweet 16." It waa at
a party zny sister gave to ber schoolmates,
and Amelia Ann, fo that waa the deax
creature's came,, waa the divinity of th
evening. She wore a blue dress I shall
never forget that dress which waa low
cot In - tbe neck, showing a pair of the
whitest, roundest and most polished shoul
ders in the world, and she hadJong golden
ringlets that flowed down ber back in
short, I thought I had never seen anything
half so angelic... ; ?
Perhaps she was as muoh Impressed by
my appearanco she baa often since told
me she was for she allowed me todanoa
With her almost every set, said "yes" to
everything I proposed and drank a glass of
champagne at supper at my request,
though insisting that she bad never done
such a wicked thing in ber life before.
When Harry Hanson s-poke tor ber and
asked her to eat a philopena with him 1
felt as if I ooald have knocked bim down.
Dear creature! I beard ber afterward re
fuse to let bim see ber home and shall
never" forget how chopfallon be looked
when she said, with a toss of the bead:
"No, thank yon. I'm engaged."
It was I that escorted her to ber father's
door, and when she asked me In I didn't
know for a minute whether I stood on my
bead or on my feet. But I declined, plead
ing tbe late hour. On my way home I
whistled sang and occasionally danced.
Never had I felt so happy,. It seemed aa 11
I could afinost Gy. "Oh, Amelia Ann I"
I kept repeating, thinking what a pretty
name lb was, and then I would break out
Into "Zip Coon" or perhaps "Dan Tuck
er," till at last a watchman, tapping mi
on the shoulder, told me not to "cut them
shines," or he'd take me up for being tip
sy. Frightened half out of my wits, I gave
hisxa dollar and bad tbe satisfaction ol
hearing hlru prowl out in return that hr
saw I was a gentleman, "vich saved nir
fcaoon." . .; . - ; .
I reached home and began to undress,
bat bad to stop, with a stooking half way
oft, to try and recall i bow Amelia Ann
looked. . I shut my eyes and leaned baok
dreamingly In my chair to call up satis
factorily tbe Image of her plump shoulder!
and round White arms. It waa a bittei
cold night, but in spite of it I paused in
turning down the sheets, and when one
foot was already raised to get Into bed
for It suddenly struck . -me that perbapa
Amelia Ann was thinking of me at that
very moment; yes, sitting abstractedly be-,
fore ber chamber fire, all in virgin white,
blushing and ruminating. "Ah, deal
Amelia Ann 1" I ejaculated, clasping the
air and dropping the coverlid, and in that
ecstasy I stood till the cold bit ine like a
pair of nippers in. 10,000 places -at onoe,
and then I popped Into bed, and, curling
op like a whiplash, repeated, "Lovely
Amelia Ann!" till, falling ; asleep, 1
dreamed of ber all night. ; .j,
I called three times that week to see her;
She played on the piano divinely and sang
like a St. Cecilia. Her "Last Rose oi
Summer" was enchanting, better than
Jenny Iilnd's, I thought. I have nevei
forgiven ber two boisterous brothers, who
used to talk aloud while she sang, and
who, even wben silent, never listened to
ber. ' The rude boors J
The second week I knew Amelia Ann I
spent every evening but one with ber, and
then she bad a headache and could see no
body. Bowl walked up and down on the
other side of tbe way, looking up at tbe
windows which X know to be hers, and
where a light was burning I Once or twice
a shadow was reflected on tbe curtain, and
that was almost as good as seeing her.
"Dearest Amelia Ann!" I said. "If I
could only bave your headache for you 1"
- Tbe next Sunday I proposed. Every
body but we two bad gone to church, and
we remained at home to read "Lalla
Rookh." I can still point out the exact
spot on tho back parlor sofa where she sat
wben she promised to be mine.
We baveH been married five years, but
somehow or other she doesn't care for dress
any more, and as fpr poetry she declares
It's "trash." Her flair Is worn plain and
often looks frouzy, but she says It's im
possiLle, with all hSe family, to be fixing
it forever. In truth our three darlinga oo
cupy 60 much of ber attention that she
baa time for nothing. She never opona the
piano. ''She doesT not knew the new
pieces," she says, and is tired of the old
ones." I
. She often tells fme it is a wonder she
looks aa well as s8e does, considering the
troubles of housekeeping, especially tbe
perversity of children and the difficulty of
keenlns servants.' Her cares she declares
nare wearing -out ber life" so that I con
sider. It a miracle she survives at all." it is
true I endeavor to lighten the load for ber
by nursing the baby all the evening and
getting np at night to carry it if it cries.
I allow her, too unlimited credit at the
milliner's, for 6he vows she could not be
happy without four new bonnets a year.,
I used to think, before we were married,
that she lived on air, perhaps, like a cha
meleon, or without eating. But she bas an
excellent appetite now. If it was not for
'that, she says, she would long since bave
sunk under ber troubles.
She was very fond of porter till she
joined a temperance society, since which
time she bas found great benefit in drink
ing the strongest black tea. She bas cer
tain dishes which are quite favorites with
ber, for it was but yesterday , she said:
"Be sure you come home to dinner, love,
for we are going to have what I like above
all . things beefsteak smothered in
. onions." i
And thus I fell in love with a blue dress
and white shoulders, that beefsteak and
onions might, come of it. New York

Borrow aa a Missionary.
Strangest of all missionaries was
George Borrow. He . fiad a genius
for language, a gift of style and an
ineradicable love for horse dealing,
like Carlyle, be had a singular pow
er of reading the inner man from
his outward garb and bearing. Like
Carlyle, ! too, with all his literary
gifts, and attainments, Borrow was
at heart the peasant adventurer of
the eastern counties and was nev
er really at ease in higher- society.
His theology never sits easily upon
him. In his missionary work he has
the oddest way of persuading him
self that it is his duty to follow his

IMAGINATION IN WAR.
Honrs) Injurious to tbe Courage of Soldier
Tnan Ballets. " j '
"In my opinion," remarked the
college professor, who rose from -the
ranks during the last war to the po
sition of colonel, "the . imagina
tion of men does more in jury to the
oauso of courage than all the appli
ances of war yet disoovered.V ;f "yK
In other words," caromed a Star
reporter, "if a man didn't think he
wouldn't be afraid of anything?"
"That's about it," admitted; the
professor. "I had a remarkable case
happen to me during the battles
around. Richmond,' That is to say, it
happened to another man, but I Was
part of itIt was on a skirmish line
and I was lying behind a. log with
two other men I was only a private
then one of whom was an inveter
ate joker and the other was one . of
the imaginative kind of soldiers in
fact, be was bo imaginative that he
was almost soared out of . his wits,
and when'the bullets and shells be
gan flying? through the woods, cut
ting off saplings, clipping limbs all
around us and barking 'the top of
the log behind which we lay I
thought the fellow would burst a
blood vessel or gocrazy or do some
other-fool thing unbecoming a sol
dier. Tom, the joker, notdoed, the
man's terror and called my atten
tion to it. j ''
"Then he reached out and dragged
in a 8 tick cut from the tree above us
by the bullet and, fixing a pin in it
proceeded to have his fun. The man
was at the far end of our log, ten
feet frorii Tom, and I was just ie
yond Tom on the other side and, I
am free to. confess, was nervous
enough to wonder at Tom's manner
at 6uch a time. However, I couldn't
help watching his movements and
actually laughed to see him sliding
the pin pointed stick along toward
the unsuspecting victim. Having
got it at the right i distance, I he
waited for a smashing volley of bul
lets, and just as it came he prodded
the soldier in the' back with the pin.
"Well, it was really funny to see the
chap jump and yell and roll over,
and we both fairly howled. ' But it
wasn't so funny when the man did
not move after his first startled ao-
. tion, and Tom looked around at me
in a scared kind of way. ; His but
prise found expression in an oath,
, and he called to the man. There waa
no answer, and he called again, with
the same result. .Then he crept over
to him and gave him a shake. That
brought no response either, and Tom
dragged him around so he could see
his face. It was ashy blue, with eyes
staring wide open and the man was
as dead as Julius Csesar, with never
a mark on him save, perhaps, that
one pin scratch in his back." j
: "I should think your joking friend
could never have forgiven himself
for that cruel joke," suggested the
writer. ' y.
, '"I'm sure he never would have,"
concluded the professor "because
Tom was a good fellow and a brave
soldier, but he never had much of
a chance to. . When the next volley
came, he was on his knees beside his
dead companion, trying to do some-'
thing for him, and his head was just
high enough above the log for a shell
to dip the whole top of it off. "

Introduced to Tom Hughes.
I have known Tom Hughes almost
as long as I can remember and have
had opportunities of observing him
behind the scenes as well as on
show. My first recollection concern
ing him is of being brought up to
have my curls patted when I was
quite a small boy. Of course he con
sidered himself the authority j on
boys, and, genial as he could be in
sympathetic society, he was never
so genial as with a sympathetic boy.
There was a regular formal pro
cedure which he expected all his
hosts to observe. All accessible boys
were, to be brought up to him, one
at a time, and he must be told that
: they had expressed great anxiety to
shake the author of "Tom Brown's
Sohool Days" by the hand. t
This was often a painful ordeal,
for the muscles of his hand were like
iron, and be had theories about' the
expression of honesty and geniality
by the hand grip. Boys who shrank
from the process were in immediate
disfavor, for his ideal in a boy was
"manliness,' by which: he really
meant the antithesis, not of effem
inacy, but of boyishness. I plunged
into disfavor, at once, because 1 let
him see that I did not relish having
my hand reduced to a jellyy Satur
day Review, t .
Formic Add and the Blanco Trick.
The well knowttmango triokj"ol
the Indian conjurers has hitherto
hardly . received any explanation
whioh could account for the observ
ed effeots, and yet it has been im
possible to disoredit the many wit
nesses pi the feat. An ingenious
suggestion has been .made byl M.
Ragonneau, who asserts that the In
dians sow the seed under experiment
in earth which has been taken from
an ants' nest, the formio aoid pres
ent causing it to germinate with ex
traordinary rapidity and sprout, up
in sight of the observer. Mr. Ragon
neau states that he has reproduced
this effect by sowing seeds in earth
-previously watered with a diluted
solution of formio aoid.-
This result is contrasted with the
observations of Moggridge, " who
found that in seeds stored in the
granaries of the Mediterranean ants
the process of germination was in
definitely delayed, but that their; vi
tality was not destroyed, as ?as
proved by removing and planting
them in fresh ; earth, when they
grew immediately, j These two j re
suits are, to say the least," somewhat
Tjontradiotory, and until we have
some confirmatory evidence ash to
