The cold lake laps its pebbled shore And round each closely bolted door Th frost creeps silently. The village sleeps - oh, blessed rest !

" I did talk about hiring girl, but I don't know anything about vou." Please tiy me, " faltered Dora. "I urn so tired; and I know no one Th' all this county, and, iudeed, I will ilo my best to serve you." Mrsr Myers turned to her hujuband, wlio sat by the fire, trotting a chubby ..two-year-old on his foot: " What shall ; I lo, James ?"

" Well, let her come in and stay all night a bowl of bread and milk ; and one night's lodging won't break us." So Dora Klein was admitted into the farmer's little familv, and so neat and handy was she. about the place, soj light and agile in her movements, so quick to learn and steadfast to remember that good natured little Mrs. Myers had en gaged her before she had ben lijn the house a weekl j " You women are so impulsive,!' said the honest mnner, shaking liig jhead. " Suppose she should tiirn out badl ?" How can ' she. James ?";. saii Mrs. Myers, indignantly.

' : . , Mr. Myers whistled and drove on, and his wife was yexed with liim for even thinking uch a doubt of Dora Klein, j But as they were jogging slowly home i ward in the November starlight, a.neigh ; bor hailed them, joyously, from the top of a load of barrels. , ' I say, it's time you were home," ! said Nehemiah Hardbroke; " your gal's i got company." j, What do you mean'?" demanded Mvers. ; f . i j ; f " Why the doors and windows were j all open as I came by the crossroads, jist I where ye can see; 'cross the medder to your back door, and there was two or ! three men in the kitchen.

"Dora is there,"' assented: Mr.' Myers, " that's the verv reason I'm worried. Hpld the j baby firm, and I'll see what ' speed is left in old Dobbin." How tliey rattled over the frosty road, Dobbin galloping as if 'trying the turf, j 'and the old wood, rushing past them like j the scenic splendors of a panorama, I while to the anxious hearts of wife and husband, every moment seemed an age. The house Was dark when they reached it. Mr. Mvers flung the reins oyer the dashboard and sprung out. A . "Dora ! Dora Klein !" he ealleVl, but j there was no answer save the iamt ecno of his own voice. And when the lamp was lighted, it shone on a scene of dismav and conf u sion ; but the first corner at which the farmer glanced revealed to him that- the loose boards beneath the south window hal been j torn away, and the treasure nook which had held the silver spoons and the stocking full of bank 'notes their little all was empty. "So much for your girl and her friends, .Tame I" said Mr. Myers, in the bitterness of his first auger; and "Mrr. Myers burst into tears, not so much, after all, at the loss f the money, al- though that was a serious enough matter, as to think that little Dora Klein, of whom she had unconsciously grown so fond, was unworthy of a kind thought. That was one side of the little, every day life story at the cottage ; ,and now let us take a' peep at the other. Her master and mistress had scarcely been gone an hour, and Dora was ;hopi)hig away at the heart, singing some rounde lay as she worked, when there was a creaking on the floor, and turning her head, she started to behold two tall, gruff looking men in the room. "Wlidj are you?" demanded Dora, with feigned valor, "and what do you want?" i " Don't worry yourself, my lass," saitV the tidier of the. twain, gruffly, "and don't make nht noise, if you don't want your neck twisted round like a chicken's." i While the other, busying himself in reconnoiteringthe cupboards and shelves, turned suddenly round with a volley of oaths. ; " " Nothing but tin and pewter," he snarled, j "Where is the silver, girl ?" "We have no silver, said Dora, fal- i i c tin. i. ,.i i.i ! . - j like us ao witn snver " The money, then ? I know there is money; for I saw him come out of the bank, yesterday morning, with a wallet ful. Quick; we havent any time to lose."' . ' ' If . ' .. "It'sit's, up staii, sewed into the Lpttom of the feather bed, in the spai-e room, V hesitated Dora. " But you won't hurt me?" V " What should we hurt you fcwr ?" scornfully, demanded thelruffian. " Go up stairs, Jack, I and see,, while I stay here to keep this girl from j raising the neighborhood." "I shall hot scream," said Dora, ele vating her head a little contemptuously. " Wliois there to hear me, if I did ? We are two miles from a house." j ! 4 Andj that's true enough,' said the man called Jack. " Give us your knife, Casey, and we'll stir up ; O2 live goose feathers to some purpose. The gal won't trouble us." ' : But the heavy footsteps of the -men had hardly sounded at the head of the stairs when Dora Klein's languid assump tion of indifference vanished. Like a winged sprite she flew across the room, and noiselessly prying up the loose boards with ft kuife, she caught up tjje hand to the laughing baby; japanned box and the stocking, and, hid ing them jin her aprOn, jumped from theJ low window to avoid the noise of the rusty door hinge, and struck into the woods at the back of the house, j! No hare ever dirted more swiftly through the tangled paths of the forest than did pora Klein, until at last safe in the deepest recessep, where no one who was not nimble as a deer, and slender as herself, could follow. And then, crouch ing dp wnt among the undergrowth, she watched and waited. As the night ap- proaehod and a friendly dusk crept over hill and daloj 'Bhe ventured Irf degieeto approach the side of the woods, where the north star beameld overhead, reassur ing her of her whereabouts. And when at lngtlir tlie hoarse voices of the two men, hurrying down! a secluded by-road, struck mdmentarv terror to her heart, the afterthought followed with blessed relief- the eertainty that they were gone and she was safe.- jj Mr, Myers arjd Janie were sitting sad ly by the fire that they had just re kindled, neither of them with any heart to set abdut th0 preparation of the fru gal evening meal when the door creaked on .its hinges, and something glided in pale and silent. The next 8 moment j the jaxanned silver box and the stocking lay in Mrs. Myers' lap, and porn Klein jwas sobbing ou her shoulder. , ' j ' " Why, Dora," exclaimed the farmer, " what does this mean ?" l And Dora told her story incoherently and full of sobbing pauses; and w;heu it was concluded Mrsi. Myers threw her arms around the .girl's" neck and kissed her again and aguiu. "James, James," livbterically, 4 ' you slie cried, 'almost will never mistritst Dora KleSn.again." : And James Myerj wiping u stray dew drop or so from his eyes, confessed that little Dora Klein had been as true a heroine ak Joan! of Arc herself. : I Fashion Notes. The newest evening dresses are gen erally a combination of tw. colors arid trom much cades v ! two to used as four material s ; satin is la trindming to silks, bro- and gauzes tliat are dull looking and have no lusterj on their surfaces. Waists made entirely decollctte (which should only be ventured when there are shapely shoulders to uncover) are laced at the back with kites the. color of the trimmings Of the dress, j The newest fringes employed in even ing toilets are composed of bunches of sewing silk, passed tlirough the hem and tied in a close knot, thus doing away with i a set heading; Fly fringes, with tassels of silk attached, are also popular. Gauze dresses fojf gala occasions are visually made up over silk of thesame 1 , if I l color ;; the overpkirtsi appear to be merely long wrinkled tabliers drawn back closely and draped rather higher on one side 1 than the other, j The bodice is frequently a Louis . Quatorze basque, long auj square beliind,! quite short on the lrips, and pointed in front j the neck is square, and there is a plastron of silk, tulle or lace : the sleeves . are entirely of gauze, and there is a small! bouquet of Bowers on the left hand corner of the square cut bodice. It is hardly necessary! to add that these gauze dresses are only appro priatej to young! ladies' wear. j !' Opera jackets of white India cashmere, made j to: fit the figure and trimmed with bands of India embroidery showing many colors,! are effectively worn to brighten up dark evening dresses. The large Soose I WTaps for evening occasions are mostly dolmans orj the long circularf, which last are easily thrown off-and' xe sumed again without diearranging the rest of the toilet, j Dolmans of white basket cloth, finished with white fringe headed by a band of peacock's feathers, and circulars ot cream colored matelasse lined .with cardinal sillr, are quoted among the more tempting of tliese even ing confections. j Fashion; sanctions the use of both medium and long dresses, for street wear. For holding up thej latter are in vogue all sorts of contrivances under the name of skirt supxxurters, hut hone of them are sufficiently effective to prevent a regret for tlie short walking suit so comfortably worn j a few years ago." Muffs are smaller; than ever, and boas are in many instances worn fastened be hind.' . Underclothing is being trimmed with ' a new . linen lace, very durable and ap propriate for the purpose, called Torchon, a Smyrne. This lace is said to be stronger than muslin, and so does not readily fail under the trying manipula tions of the laundress. Silk Smyrna lace is very costly, .and is used on both plush and ; velvet bonnets. There are seventy Protestant churches, witji -26,000 members, in eastern 'Jhrkey; twentv-six with 8.000 in the central prov inces, and twenty-four with 5,000 in the wcttteru district : i v !

Wo wisli, says the New York Tribun e t we could be sure that it will, and that the companies at any cost of money or of convenience will give their, whole system of bridges a thorough in vestigation. With . the- acknowledged engineering ability of this country'there ought to be no difficulty in arriving at a Aninimurnof . risk, whether we regard construction or 'material. If iron is never safe during our severe winters we must gp back to wood. If the present method: of construction is not to be reliedfOn, we have-men of ability who can find out a new and a afer one. Com panies can better afford to pass dividends, and even to suspend the running of their trains, than to murder travelers in this liideou and miserable way. in the3 matter. There is There are no fatalism ways of knowing whether a bridge is safe better than the clumsy and uncertain one of trains testing it with unusually heavy these are problems which can be out with slate and pencil, and worked which every builder of bridges ! should be competent to solve. The majority of mankind knows nothing of such con structions, and of necessity can know nothing. It is obliged to trust the com- pany, tlie builder, the manufacturer. Everybody who buys a ticket has a rea sonable right to a safe conveyance ; how can lit! ask for information about the strength of the bridges which he is to cross ? or the competency of the engi neers and conductors to whom he in trusts his life ? Some risk he must rim, at any rate ; but how is he to judge whether it is worth his while to run it ? From the momeilt his train starts, until he arrives at his mercy point of destination, he is at the jf a corporation or of its servants. tie goes ana comes for years in safety. i but what has happened to so many i others mav vet happen to him, and their fate may be hid. It is customary when some unusually 1 terrible railway " accident " has shocked the coihmunity, to speak' of the company m terms of great seventy jutd j we. dof not wonder at it. Perhaps a different! kind 01 appeal might be more efficient. We might beg presidents and directors to be merciful ; we might entreat them to consider the incomputable misery which carelessness or ill-judged economy on thejr part may occaison ; we might acknowledge that we are vei$T much their humble servants, and beg theni, if possible, tospare our lives andftlie Ues of those who are dear to us. Tliere are other resources, if this should fail ; there are the terrors of actions it law sounding ii damages, and of indictments for man slaughter; but none of those' have ever proved sufficiently effective and we fear that they never will. Our resort must be to tne great; tribunal of public opinion. We must make railway accidents disre-j. putable to all who are responsible for them, j The managers and the builders are usually men who care something for tho g4od opinion of society. If this were bjestowed or withheld as it should be, engineers, superintendents ami di rectors would be far more careful and cautions than they now are. A Race for Life. i The Burlington (la.) Hawke-ye says: A couple of tramps waylaid a wealthy in Louisa county, and springing farmer out upon him demanded Ins money or life. I He showed them a clean par of heels, land they went at it. They; chased I him half a mile down through the rough est larie they ever 'stumbled over, then the whole crowd dashed- through a briar hedge and went I panting arid sweating across an old corii field; then the chase struck for the woods and went wheezing up a s :eep hill, while the tramps pressed liard after him with bloodshot eyes and shortened breath; then the retreating farmer dashed across a frozen creek, and! the tramps, following, .broke tlirough, but got out and chased the fugitive through a blackberry patch, across a forty acre stubble Held, over another hill, down k ravine, across a stump field, and finally they overliauled him in the road, searched him, and found that ho ididn't have 4 nickel not a solitary red cent.

SalthiK Deef. Select a barrel that is strongly hooped, and fit a board of sufficient thickness, &tr that the bottom of the barrel may rest on that, instead of the chine.' Place the cellar, directly under a solid it in floor beam. Cover the bottom of tho barrel with salt, tlien put in a layer of beef, the pieces being cut ; small ; enough to pack close, and pound them down with a club; then sprinkle them over with sugar arid salt. Continue putting in layers of peef, pounding them down, and sprinkling on salt and sugar, until all is packed. Use six quarts of salt, and three or four pounds of j sugar to each one hundred pounds of beef. .Place a strong : follower in the i barrel upon the beef, andjBeta inece of joist upon the follower, so that the end of jthe joist will come under the beam ; driye a wedge between this and the -beam above, pressing the beef quite hard ; every twenty-four hours drive up the wedge, j and the beef willsoxm be cov ered with brine.

Tne j Manchester Guardian says: Edinburgh has i been put " lmder the j microscope " by a committee of the Es tablished Church Presbytery, with a view to ascertain j the extent of drunken ness in the city, and what measures the' Church ought to fcdopt as a remedy lor the '.evil.! They have ascertained that in 1875, out . of a (population 1 of 200,000, 2,152 persons were arrested for being drunk and incapable, and 4,672 persons charged; with crime were drunk when apprehended. Tlie total for tlie year was 0,824, of which number 4,070 were men and 2,748 women. They further i state that during the past five years drunkenness among women had in- ! creased in Modern Athens thirty-six pr t cent, and aCbng men thirty-three per j cent,, while the number charged with crime and found drunk when apprehend ed was greater hist year than at any for mer period in the history of the city. But their1 report is not all shadow, and to relieve the gloom of these figures they assert that they had found no proof of ah assertion sometimes made tliat a system of tippling during tlie day, both among men and women, was on the increase; and they state, also, as a favorable' cir cumstance, that drunkennelunorig skilled workmen was much less previa?
