"Whom, therefore, God hath join d together, let no mail put asun der 1" -- r Clear, and distinct came the solemn words from tha minister's lips. As they fell upon the ears of the two people who stood before the marriage altar, a smver ran -simultaneously through the form of each, while an alraott ghastly pallor overspread the face of the woman. A' shadow fell upon the man's face also, as he bow ed hia head to lay a kiss on the pale brow of hisbride. . Did he : apprehend .'approaching evil? or was it only an uplifting of the vista which shrouded the past? Did he thea and there clasp hands with memory and go nine years back, to the time when he stood in a different place .before the man of God with a timid, white-robed girl leaning on his arm? Was it a thought of ibis, or was it a remembrance of the last dying look, so full of faith and infin ite tenderno 8 which that same girl wife turned upon him, as be cried out in the keen agony of his spirit: It you must go, my- violet, know that I wilt love you always, and your memory shall never fade 1" : Thus had lie exclaimed only six years in the past, while bending above his dying wife, and now, again he st ood before the marriage altar I He was a handsome man of five and thirty, tall and stately in form, with clustering locks of auburn hair, an intellectual brow .and thoughtful brown eyes. But bow can we best describe the woman at his side? In form, the was small, even to a fault, yet her every movement was the personification of graoe. Strictly speaking she was not beautiful, her features being somewhat irregular, yet her face was one, once seen, nev er aain to be forgotten'. It was a tecuiiar face, remarkable for its weird fascination. The complexion very dark, the forehead broad, low and shaded by a heavy mass of pur ple biack hair; while the eyes, large, black and luminous, seemed ever seeking to veil themselves, under their long fringe of silken lashes. Not a tint of color stained thex:reamy dark oi her cheeks, but the lips, thin and set in a straight line, were red as carnation flowers. As the two turned from the altar to pass cut of the little village chapel, the woman lifted her eyes for a mo ment, and had tfre bridegroom caught the baleful expression that flashed from them like' a scorching gleam of fire, he would have shrunk away in shuddering horror. He saw it not, however, neither did she see the tall form gliding after her as she stepped from the sanctuary until with her new-made husband she stood in the opea air. ; Then like a falling shadow, that same form glided through the dark ness and hissed three words in her ear: "Found at JastP The next instant it had vanished like a epectre. With a wild cry of terror, - she threw out her hands and would have fallen had not her husband received ber in his arms. "Hester!" he exclaimed, "what is it? Are you ill! Are you frighten ed?" She breathed rapidly for some mo ments, then disengaging herself from his arms, she cast a furtive glance about her saying hurriedly : "it is only a pain at my heart. Randal, I teel it frequently of late."1 "Do you suiter jiow.i anxiously. "No, it laste but an instant. - Come let us go." He handed her into a waiting ve hicle, and a moment later they were rolling rapidly away. A word now in regard to the man whose marriage we have just wit nessed Randall Marvin such was his name was a native ot Louisiana. He was the possessor of many broad and rolling acres and was also a large slave owner. For three years be had lived happily with his hrst wife, then death entered his house- bold and he was left alone with a lit tle daughter of two summers. Thus bereft of its fair, gentle mother, the child became bis constant care, and the one dear idol of - his widowed heart. Six months previous to the I opeinug ui our uarrauve ue uuu uen. ' called to New York on some import ant business. Returning by way of New England, he stopped at f,rt old fashioned village, and here he met Hester Armitage, who, " according to ber own statement, wrs a young widow with one child, a daughter of nine years. She wus a stranger in the village, having been there only a few days on Marvin's arrival, and was stopping at the Bame inn where he took lodging. At first they mot only at the cable, she always appear" mg robea in the deepest black. Sho was BtiH young not above five and t wenty. Her- daughter, a perfect likeness "of herself, was at her side on all occasions, foe she seemed to idolize the r chtld and' the child - in turn appeared to worship tlfe mother. After the first week of his stay, Marviu met her frequently In the plain little parlor, though appareutly - by merest acojdent on her part. At first she seemed coy and diffident, and appeared to avoid him. 1 This piqued bis pride, and man like he sought her society more .than he would had the case been otherwise! He fouud lier ,to bea most brilliant couyer'sationalist, and this, combined withu-tbe witchery of her manners and the weird fascination of her face, won for ber a victory which he had Uiougutp no -woman rwould ever achieve. v Thus came about the mar riage, we bav already recorded Previous to Che. consumation. of thia hasty union, Marvin had express ed a dewire to send her child,. Claudine, in cure -of a. friend to his home in fused her consent, saying when he insisted : - ' "I cannot be. separated an hour f rom my child and you ' must" not ask it, Randall." Of course that settled the question, and Claudine accompanied them on their wedding tour. Poor little Violet I for one time in her young life she was quite forgot ten. In her dead mother's place reigned a stranger, whose unscrupu lous hand would bow for her a har vest of ruth and wrong, ' . CHAPTER EL . .' SUNK Y SIDE. ' ' We will now make a flying trfp to Louisiana and visit Sunnyside, ' the rural residence of Air. Marvin. It was a latv elegant building, surrounded by a Jouble piazza, sup ported by massive white pillars. . The wide, level lawn was laid out wirn an unusual degree of taste and beau j i tv . Here and there water fountains played, emitting a cool, refreshing mut that glistened upon the sunuy flowers of the wax-like magnolia, the dusky green of the orange tree and the clustering boughs of the blushing myrtle, Dana, and: Mrs. Waldronv I fwaot to see him very much. , ', "Never mind, do not fret, and h will be with his V lolet very soon, I trust," Mrs Waldron replied,"as she smoothed the tawny gold hair from the white oval brow. , "I do hope so," murmured the child, and a little later her bead drooped wearily aod her dusky eyes closed in slumber. Mrs. Waldron lifted the light form and laid it on a sofa, muttering as her eyes lingered a moment upon the innocent face. . - ", . "Mine was once as pure mine was once a stainless, but now, oh Father of mercy! " ... She did not complete the sentence, but a convulsive shudder shook her from head ' to foot, and . a 'bird. strong expression settled upon her oars lace. . . r v. - The interior of the mansion was equally as pleasing as the outside surroundings. -The brignt gilded warn were decorated with rare old paintings, and ancient family por traits some smiling from their heavy frames, others peering down grim and frowning. The windows, fashioned after the French style were heavily draped in crimson damask and cloud like I ices." Every color in the house presented jan unbroken line of harmony and each piece of furniture," all of the rarest workman ship, seemed fashioned for just the spot it occupied. Uver the marole mantai m the morning parlor hung an exquisite portrait. It was the form of a young girl arrayed in some light material a girl with tawny gold hair, a white oval brow, large, liquid grey eyes, and tender, sensitive mouth. It represented the. first mistress of Sunnyside. She stood in the midst of a dense grove witn a large iNewiounoiana dog at her side. Her broad brimmed bat with its long blue ribbons hung carelessly on her round .white arm. while in one hand she held a trailing mass of vines andflowers, and with the other caressed the head of the dog, whose wistful browu eyes were raised with an expression of canine intelligence to the sweet young face above him. In front of this portrait stood a woman with her eyes fixed upon the exquisite features so delicately traced upon the canvass. Bhe was the nousefcoeper at sunny side, and as she has. hr part to play in the drama, we will here introduce her. . Her name was Mrs. Waldron. She was somewhat past forty, rather low in statue, and her hair now slightly touched with silver, was of. ebon blackness. Her ejes were of the same hue, aod seemed to possess a decided tendency to seek the ground. In truth. Airs. Waldron had never been knowu to favor any person with a straight, honest look iu the face. She was dark almost aa a quadroon, ber forehead unusually low, and her lips thin and .tightly compressed. Her movements were decidedly graceful. but it was a certain kind of cat like grace, and as she glided along with her peculiarly noiseless tread one was unpleasantly reminded of, a ser pent when it trails its slimy folds over the grass and flowers. Mrs. Waldron private history was unKnown. bix years previous. she had answered Mr. Marvin's ad vertisement for a housekeer, and ob tained the situation. Sudh was the housekeeper at Sun nyside. During the six years she had been with him Mr. Marvin bad failed to notice any peculiarity about her. He had not even observed tar, j constant veiling of the strange bl?.ck ' eyes under the long fringe of .Knl-.es ! which seeiried to serve as a cir'am, thus screening her soul fro.vn view. It is singular how utter iy , blind a man will be iu some o attars, and it was doubly "odd tb-t Mr. Marvin should have been jeata iu discover ing what an ord'narially observant woman would ave known at a sec ond glance. But there came a time when the slaa fell from his eyes, and the paat with its dira figures rose in sileo'u reproach before binu and then bis proud head was bowed in sorrowful humiliation, and his heart and soul were riven with unutterable aoguish. . ' ' V :r :- : I While Mrs. Waldron stood regard ing the portrait above the mantle, the sof t, aweet' volce of a child rang through the house, calling: Mrs. Waldron !

V A moment later, the form of a gtrl. a tiny mite of eight summers bound ed itrto the room. : - . - i "What will you have, Violot?" the woman asked in a low,' purring voice. ; ;r-' . . "Will you please iaro this rent in my skirt, Mrs. Waldron?' the child said, coming forward.". "Bera and I were trying to reach a strange little flower from under a brier, and my dress caugnt and tore nere, ' holding up the torn skirt in her dimpled banns. ' "Come to my room,1 Mrs. Wald rou said, and taking the child's hand. she glided away with noiseless tread The torn garment was soon exchang ed for another, and the rent neatly menaea. iars. w aioron was never fretful with i Violet.

Mass, .i the well known architect of thia city. An ' Him, "27tt we abtaiaed ?ome information about the manufacture of piue straw fibre that will be of interest to our readers. Mr. Maas with the late Robert J. Mosely during the yeaM 1877 and 1878, established a factory for the manufacture of a fibre from pine straw that was used in making mat tresses. If we are not mistakeu the factory was burnt, at all events Mr. Mosely's death in 1878, who had furnished most of the capital cau3ed its abandonment. Mr. Maas while manufacturing the fibre applied for and obtained a patent for a method of making the fibre which he says greatly cheapens the cost, and would enable bim to make the fibre at a cost of 1 1-2 cents or 2 cents per pound. He says that the entire cost of a small factory to make fibre will not exceed eight or nine hundred dol lars. It requires a small steam en gine of six or eight horse-power and about 150 dollars' worth of other ma chinery. He thinks the best way to make it,is near a saw mill where pine trees are being cut for lumber. Only the green straw will answer. That which falls and becomes dry will not do. The straw of the long leaved pine is best. The short straw will not make a good article. The straw is stripped from the twigs and cooked in a solution of caustic soda. It then goes through a rubbing ma chine, that rubs off the woody mat ter from the straw and splits up the fibre. It is then thoroughly washed with a machine, and dried on scaf folds in the sun after which it is ready to be packed in bales. A good sized tree will yield 800 pounds of green straw, that will turn out 400 pounds of the dry. fibre. When Mr. Maa. first engaged iu the business mail's a, 1 brown fibre similar to that made at the Acme Mills in North Caroling. Samples of the bagging ma.e from itt and used in baling cocon were sent here. This bagging is of a rich brown color. Mr. Maas jays the patent he obtained maks a white fiber much better ip. overy way than the browb. He lias, earn pies of it that are of a crearjy -white and appear to be superior x the brown. It is the white fibre b'a says can be made at a cost of 1 1-2 cents per pound. We learn there is. a prospect of organizing a joint stock company, and manufacturing the fibre near Meridian. The fibre can be made and shipped to the fac tory. It would no be advisable to have the bagging made where the fibre is manufactured, as the ma chinery would "have to be moved from place to placo .where the pines were cut down for saw logs. We be lieve this industry" cs.n be made a large and valuable one for the South. The material for it exists in immense quantities and when not used for that purpose is absolutely waisted. If the fibre can be made and sold for 2 cents per pound it cannot fail to be a great success. The coarse jute used in the manufacture of bagging csts 3 1-2 cents per pound, and as it contains a great many butts and refuse matter .there is a loss of 555 per cent.' in pre - -. , , . i . paring ii lur me loom. me oiner hand the pine straw fibre is like cot- ton nt to oe worsea up as soon as made. There would not be a loss of two per cent, in usetng it. The bag ging made ironvpinn straw is equally as good as jute . w new tne nore is prepared it will be easier to make in to bagging, and a difference of one- half cent per pound" would make it supersede jute entirely . and render tne ooum lnuepenueui, on tne oag ging question. Awkward Histak lommyr v A farmer who had bought a calf from a butcher, desired him to drive it to his farm, and place it in bis sta ble, which the seller accordingly did. Now. it happened that very day that a man with t grinding organ and dancing bear, passing by that way, began their antics in front of the farm. After amu ng the farmer's family for Borne time, the organ man entered the farm-bouse,, and asked the farmer if he could give him a nigh.t's lodging. The farmer replied, he could give the man lodging, but that he was at a loss where to put the bear. After musing a little, be determined to bring the calf inside the house for that night, and place th'e bear in the stable, which was done. Now, the butcher, expecting the calf would remain in the stable all night, resolved to steal it ere morn ing; and Ite farmer and his guest were, in the night, awakened by a fearful yclliug fromthe outbuilding. Both got up, and, taking a. lantern. entered the stable, when the farmer foand, to his surprise, the butcher of whom he had bought the calf in the grasp of the bear, wbichjwaa hugging him tremendously, for he could not bite, being muEZled. The farmer in stantly understood the"; state -of the c.ese. and briefly mentioned the cir cumstance to the owner of bruin. who, to punish the butcher for his in tended theft, called out to the bear: Hug him. Tommy;" which the bear did in real earnest, the butcher roaring most hideously the whole time. After they thought he -had suffered enough, they set him' free and the butcher slunk off, glad to es cape with his life, while the farmer and his guest returned to their beds. Try It. j A problem that at a glance seems easy enongh to tempt a school boy to i spend a portion of his Christmas va cation in an endeavor to solve it, ap peared recently in a Maine Journal, and is aa follows: "Take the number 15. Multiply it by itself and you have 225. - Now multiply 225by itself. " Then multi ply thnt product by itself, and so on until 15 products have been multi plied by themfjlves in turn." The question arored considerable inter est amonr lawyers in Portland, and their b?st mathematician, after struggling with the problem long enough to see how much labor was entailed in the solution, made the following discouraging report upon i': "The final product called for contains 38,533 figures (the first of which are 1.412). Allowing three figures to the inch the answer would be over 1,070 feet long. To perform the operation would require about 500,000.000 figures. If they can be made at the rate of 100 a minute, a person working 10 hours a day for 300 days in each year would be 28 years about it. If. in multiplying, he should make a row of ciphers, as he does in other figures, the number of figures used would be more than 523,939.228. That would be the pre as cise number ot figures used u tne product of the left-hand figure in each multiplication by each figure of the multiplier was always a single figure; but, as it is most frequently. and yet nt always, two figures, the method employed to obtain the fore going result cannot be accurately ap plied. .Assuming that the cipher is used on an average once in ten times, 475,000,000 figures is a close approxi nation to the actual number.''

Air should -be introduced and re moved at those parts of the room where it would not cause a sensible draught. Air flowing against the Jbody at, or even somewhat above, the temperature of the air of a room will cause ao inconvenient draught, from Ihe fact that, as it removes the moisture of the body, it causes evapo ration or a sensation of cold. Air should never, as a rule, be introduc ed at or close to the floor level. The openings would be liable to bo fouled with sweepings and dirt. 'The air, unless very much above the tempera ture of the air,of the room, would produce a sensation of cold to the feet. It may be regarded as an axiom in ventilating and warming that the feet Bhould be kept warm and the head be kept cool. The orifices at which air is admit ted 6hould be above the level of the heads of persona occupying the room. The current of inflowing air should be directed toward the ceiling, and should either be as much subdivided as possible by means of numerous orifices, to be admitted through coni cal openings, with the smaller open ings toward the' outer air and the larger openings toward the room, by which means the air of the entering current is very rapidly dispersed. Air admitted near the ceiling very soon ceases to exist as a distinct cur rent, and will be found at a very short distance from the inlet to have -mingled with the general mass of the air, and to have attained the tem perature of the room, partly owing to the larger mass of air in the room with which the inflowing current mingles, partly to the action of grav ity in cases where the inflowing air is colder than the air in the room. She Didn't Scare. Detroit Free Press. "Say fellers." ha remarked to a crowd in the grocery the other even ing, "I know how we can have some fun." Svral parties fked him to explain. aud be said : "My ife is always telling how brave she is, and what she'd do in an emergency, and I want to take her down a peg, I believe she'd scare like a cat. I want one of you to go to the bacu: door and be ugly and sassy and demand supper, and see if she won't fly out of the front." One of the crowd said he'd cheer fully go, and go he did. while the others posted themselves in front. By and by a woman came to the door, loked up and down, and said to a boy who was passing: "Bubby. won't you go over to the store aud tell my husband to come oyer?" . "Yes'm." "Needn't hurry any, but just drop in, if it is convenient." : When the crowd came over they found the volunteer lying on his back in the front yard, unconscious and his nose broken, and the,, wife said: "He wanted supper and was ugly about it, and so I laid him out with a flat iron." Aud an hour later, when the poor man. felt his upso and wanted to know wrfi was to pay datnages, echo sadly answered "who?" AFTER TWENTY TEARS. Sticking To It. A good story is told of a young man who consulted an old gentleman who had been very successful in business. as to the best business in which to engage, in answer to tne question What had I best do?' the old man replied, Stick.' The young fellow explained that he wished to know what he bad best do to make money. Again he was told, 'Slick. 'Stick at what.?' was asked. 'Oh, that is a matter of little consequence. Take almost any line of business you like; but stick to it. " Rubj's Letter. A letter from Mr. J. . W . Ruby.

About twenty years ago Daniel, sou of Daniel Dove!, a wealthy but somewhat eccentric man, living in .East Rockingham, had a difficulty with his father and said he intended to leave home and never return until the father s death. The mother sided with her eon, telling him that as he could not remain at home in peace she would give him some money me say $350. With this amount he left home, and, it seems, stopped at the bous of a than bythe name ot Hall, living notlar from his father's. While there he very imprudently 6howed hia money. It was more than Hall could stand. He remarked that be belived he would put him out of the way. Daniel begged him to spare bis life and take the money, as he ful ly realized that he waa in the hands of a man with no principle. Hall con cluded to spare him after the money wa4 handed over, but finally remark ed "that dead men tell no tales." suiting hia action to the words by felling the unfortunate .boy to the floor with an ax, after which he con veyed his body to ,the cellar under the wing of the house and" buried ix The young manJhad a. faithfut dog that followed him wherever he wenc and onwhos necke be bad placed a small bell. !iAfter the death of its master, Hall thought the dog, missing (Dovel), would return home. The dog, on the contrary, lingered near and from its actions, Hall thought he might be betrayed, so he killed the faithful little creature and buried it also. In the distribution of his property by will his father made provisions should Daniel ever return, but noth ing has been heard of him until quite recently. Not long since Hall and his wife quarreled. The result was a separa tion. She revealed the murder. Rel atives have examined tne cellar of tne building, which has been torn down many years and filled up, and brought to .light the bones of the young man, dog and the bell. A Discriminating Giant.

One day as be was walking along through the woods, he met two little girls one very good little girl and one very naughty one. "First he took a bite out of the good little girl, and be made up a horrid face and said she tasted awful nasty,; then he took a taste of the bad little girl, and he smacked hislips and said she tasted awful nice, 'cause you see mama, she had eaten nuts and rais ins and candy when her mother told ber not to,and that made her taste sweet. .Then the old giant said: Til never agaia eat a good little girl; I'll always eat the bad ones."
