" I not only think bo, but know it, for there is the carriage now, with your farther and a lady." The first speaker was a young girl about fourteen, tall, straight and fair. The second was a lady apparently about thirty fire, like wise tall, straight, but dark. The reader will readily guesa that they were Mrs. Hunter and her daughs ter, and the Bubject of their coa versation no other than Lelia Win, drom. - " This is my wife Miss Win irom," said Mr. Hunter as they alighted. ' Come in my dear," said Mrs". Hunter leading the way to the pleasant sitting room, " I know you must be cold, such a raw windy day ai it is. Thaw yourself then per" hips yeu would like to go to your room." ' Thank you mam, I will go at oace." We will leave Lelia in her room aid try to give the reader some ii.'ea of the place she was now to call "home." It was in one of the eastern counties of the Old North State. A lartrc old f&aLinn house situated in a grove of giant oaks, and on this cold January day, as the carriage drove up the long drive, Lelia thought that she never saw a more dismal, gloomy looking place. But as she stepped in, she forgot all these thoughts and felt only the warm, genial atmosphere of home. Mrs. Hunter, with true Southern hospitality, made her feel that she was only an elder daughter returning home. "Mother said this was to be your room Because it was towarus your home, see, this window faces north, and you can see some distance up the road." " Your mother i3 very kind, I expect 1 shall stand at this window and dream of my mends so far away." She sighed as she thought of him of whom she dare not dream. The door closed sftly as she gazed in the glowing fire and the dream began. She sat down in the low rocking chair and closed her eyes. she was not sorry for the step she had taken, but she could but feel sad as she thought of all the dear friends she left behind. She knew not how long she had been sitting thus, when she heard a low tap at the door when a curly head popped in, and a child's voice said, " mam ma says come to supper," and the curls were gone. Lelia rose slowly and with a hasty glance in the glass and a gen tle shake of her dress, descended to the sitting room, where the family were assembled. Jt consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Hunter and three children, r boy about sixteen and two girls. The first, Louise we have mentioned, and a little one, Lily, three years old. "This is my son Wilmer," Miss Windrom. " How do you feel after your long journey? asked Mr. Hunter. " Thank you, not at like traveling so much, all tired, I don't think I ever would tire. ' " How do you like our coun try ?" asked Mrs. Hunter. " Very much what I've seen of it. One thing I admired very much that is the tall, stately pine. It was aweet music to hear the winds low murmur as it slowly blew through the long slender needles. Another thing struck me, the country is so exeedingly level. 1 ve heard, so much of the grand scenery of North Caroliua, but so far have seen none at all. " Ah ! yeu have never travelled in the Western part of our fetate There you will see scenery as grand as the Old World can botst.- Be fore the war, we spent our sum mers in different parts of the Dioan- tarns, so I can speak from personal observation. But if not tired, suppose you must be hungry after your ride, so I beg your pardon for keeping you so long from the fast cooling coffee." As we have now introduced Lelia to her new home, we will, like priV' ileged historians, pass oyer several walks. ; Lelia was completely domestica td in. her new hotne::j Beloved by ail and loving those - who ; were so kind to her, she could bqt be happy. There was only one" thing wanting in this pleasant' family,- and that Was a Piano. . Passionately fond of music; she pined 'for,- something on whieh to pour, her feelinga, ri It was towards the last of Febru ary one briht,"balmy ' day. Mrs. Hunter and Lelia wire in the sit ting room, the former 1 sewing, ; the latter , reading ftloud,.';" Christian Reid's " last novel. When just in the midt-.f--4og:;48eription of the Tronic ranA rouSic,8he ce5sed reading. . . "I think, "she said after a pause," if any thing could add to my happineis here it would be a piano." ; "I sometimes feel very bitter to wards our northern brothers when IJthink of mine. That with a good deal of other valuable property, was destroyed during our late unhappy truggle. But if that is necessary for your happiness, it can be grati fied. Mrs. McLeon who has taken the greatest possible fancy to you, would be delighted to have you practice there." " I've thought so often of that grand piano, shut up and ruining for want of some one to play. Why is she so careful with it." " It was her daughters, a young girl just grown, who died about two years ago. She was extremely fond of music and would sit by the hour, filling the old house with her grand strains. After her death her mother shut up the instrument and could never bear to hear music of any kind. ' But "you" need not hesi tate the least on that account, for she asked me a few days ago if you would not like to practice." , So it was arranged, Lelia was to go And come and make herself per fectlv at home. And at twilight when she would feel lonely she would run over to the kind Mrs. McLeon's, seat herself at the dear old, familiar friend, and forget all things earthly. Mrs. McLeon's beautiful home was just in walking distance from Mr. Hunter's. " Glenhaven " was known far and near as the most beautiful place in the surrounding mile from the pretty little village of T., on what, in that country was a considerable elevation, surround" ed by giant oaks. At the foot of the hill and almost encircling the house, was a little laughing, bab bling brook which, " Chattel's, chatters as it flows, To join the brimming river." But before it joins tho river, there is a sudden bend then a fall of several feet astonishes the be holders, but the brook glides on si -lently laughing over the freaks of nature. And right here art lends its ever willing hand to render still more entraneing the beauty of na. ture. Just above the falls there is sudden rise in the hill, which makes it rather steep on the water's side and risht at the water's edse begins a narrow flight of steps which wind half round the hill, on the top of which a miniature castle sur rounded by mimic fortifications. The brook representing the tosse , while across this is thrown a rustic bridge, in imitation of the draw bride. The castle, on the other side is fortified by a wall of ever green, impenetrable even to the eyes, so that strangers never sus pect its existence. This cuts on all communication except by the bridge. Ihe long carnage drive winds gracefully among the oaks and near the house the shrubbery. Tho house is finished in modern style, with every elegance and con venience that a refined taste could collect. The long drawing room with its grandeur and elegance, the cozy, suany sitting room, with its pleasant bow window, hanging bas kets and work stands and the libra ry with all its splendid books, easy chairs and lounges, airshow culti vation and wealth. Mr. McLeon had just completed his home at the breaking out of our great civil war, when he suddenly died and leaving a wife and four children. The old est fell in the entire part of the great struggle. The second, Hay- ward, tho just eighteen at the time passed through the four years fight with only a few honorable scars The oldest daughter, Mary, died iust three weeks before she was to have been a happy bride. The youngest Lilian was scarcely twelve at the beginning of our story. At the time that Lelia first found herself such a welcome friend in this pleasant home, Hayward was on a visit to some friends, so that she had never met him. oeverai weeks nau passed since the conversation in regard to ino piano. Leia nad gone over regularly to play and in sweet com munion j louna Daim, tor her weary spirits. She had been thinking to day of home ones. She called them up separately to. her-mind's eye and imagined xaem not cnangea. anen there came unbidden, another face, the firm lips, the bright blue eyes. She did not attempt to dismiss these tuouguts, tney were pleasant ana she would ; indulge just once more. Ah! Lelialyoa are dreaming too long, itr wjlicqst,jou; many bitter sighs ! , jou will awake to'reality ! The awakening came ac last and with ' ' a long1 drawn ; sigh for the flutting dream,-she ros and throw ing a;light shawl over her shoulders, went.out for a walk, in; the hope of seeing ( something T to r divert her thoughts..' From force ' of habit she took the'direction to " Glenhaven." Entering the grounds ':she directed her steps towards the little castle, as she was crossing tho bridge she stopped an-instant and gazed down into rtHe!:J ;!clear 'water;'' "Yes, al ways babbling, chattering, laughing. I wonder why you are never sad little brook." " 'Men may come and men may go, But you go on for ever.' " She seased speaking, gave anoth er look into the book, crossed over and assended the narrow steps, en tered the summer house. She looks ed around. . " I thought no one came . here," she said, half aloud, "but certainly that table was near the window and that chair ah, here's a book." She sat down by the table and mechanically began reading. It was "Iranhoe" opening at the description of the seige of Fon de'Boeufs castle. She read on page alter njsre. It was crow- ate, but she saw it not, she was so much absorbed that she did not hear a quick, firm tread, cross the bridge and run up the steps two at a time. But suddenly' a shadow fell across the page and looking up she saw at a glance a tall gentleman apparent ly about twenty-eight, dark hair and dancing black eyes. " Lxcuse me, he said, " I didn t know any one was here, 2 came for a book I left here this morning." , to be continued . Christianity and Science. In the current discussion of the relations of Christianity to science, there is one fact that seems to have dropped out of notice: yet it is full ot meaning, and deserves for Chris tianity's sake, to be raised and kept belora the public. V ho, or what, has raised science to its present commanding position? What in fluence is it that has trained the in ¬ vestigator, educated the people, and made it possible for the scientific man to exist, and the DeoDleto com prehend him ? Who built Harvard College? irom what motives the very foundation-stones of Yale ? To whom, and to what, are the great institutions of learning, scattered all over this country, indebted for their existence ? There is hardly one of these that did not have its birth in, and has not had its growth from, Christianity. The founders of all these institutions, more particularly those of greatest influence and largest facilities, were Chnstain men, who worked simply in the interest of their Axaster. The special scientific schools that have been grafted upon these institutions are children of the same parents, reared and endowed for the same work. Christianity is theundoubU ed and inaisputable mother of the scientific culture of the country. But for her, our colleges wo'ud never have been built our common schools would never have been insti tuted. Wherever a free Christianty has gone, it has carried with it education and culture. The public, or a considerable por tion of it, seems to forget this, or ha3 come to regard Christianity a3 opposed to science in its nature and aims. It is almost regarded by many minds, as the friend of dark ness, as the opponent of free inquiry and the enslaver of thonght. lhc very man who have been reared by her in some instances turn against her, disowning their mother and denying the sources of their attain ments, and to-day she has herself almost forgotten tnat it is her hand that has reared all the temples of learning, framed the educational policy of the nation, and, with wide sacrifice of, treasure, reared the very men who are.now defaming her Scribner for March. A Queer Case, . At a meeting of spiritualists, held in a village not a great way from Scranton, and not long since one of the members of " the circle re ceived a message from a friend in the unseen world to the effect that he would certainly die upon a cers tain day and hour, mentioning the time with a positiveness that to the circle and 1 the gentleman referr to left no room for doubt. The message also conveyed and admoni tion to the effect that he should in anticipation of the event immediate ly procure a lite insurance policy for 810,000 for the benefit of his family. In obedience to ihe sug gestioa the policy was secured,. and upon the appointed day, and hour the man died. The wife, upon ap plying to the company for the amount named in the policy, was in formed; that the policy wa3 voided by reason ot her nusoaod . Having committed y moral suicide taat is, died because he thought he must do so in accordance . with the. sup posed message. The wife ha3 now brought suit against the company for the amount of the policy. Scrantm (Pa.) Times v . STATE NEWS. The Wilson brass banl is to 'come to life.'
