CHAPTER I Just sitting watching the lovely snow-flakes fall with a subdued rustle, thinking how beautiful the season, when a knock was repeated twice on the door, and before Harrie was aroused from the revery he had fallen into it was repeated the third time ere he answered it. "Good afternoon, sit! may I come in to warm?" said a feeble voice, and Harrie, saw standing there with snow falling thick and fast around his un covered head, a figure bent with old age. Certainly you may come in." The stranger entered, and the door was closed. Harrie did not notice him until they had begun to converse with each other. Such eyes, so dark and commanding, and such firm set lips. They told something of which Harrie could not divine the meaning. The stranger's form was bent, and his hair streaked with gray. As he sat warm ing himself, Harrie did not interrupt him for a time. Finally he started. "It must be growing late and my child will be weary waiting and watch ing for me," he said. "Have you far to go this bleak win ter's day, and is your presence so ur gent that you cannot pass the night with me?" asked Harrie. "Ah! my presence is very urgent, and kind lad, I know not how to thank you. Now I must be going. If ever our paths cross again, I hope to repay you for your kindness." "Do not call it kind, for I would have been heartless indeed, to have re fused you sharing my little fire with me. I am glad that I could help you." 'Thank you; now I must say good-by and may the good God bless and help you on your way." The old man left Harrie alone, and directed his steps across the narrow streets to the broad snow drifted road, leaving the pretty little town of Dales ville with its quaint and odd church spires far behind. Not until he had tired of gazing on the pure spotless world outside, did his thoughts revert to the child he had said was waiting for him. Then he pictured her as she would be when she beheld her dear grandfather, home, from the long stay he had made in the fair land of Italy. Harrie reseated himself by the case ment to look on the beautiful white world. His thoughts were in a chaos; he was thinking of everything, but more of the old man and wondering if he would ever meet with him again. Suddenly the bright and amused look faded on his face leaving it pale and sad. "This is a beautiful world after all," he murmured, "I wonder :f some one will be merciful to a poor mortal like myself. I would so like to have a nice position to lift me from the hum ble place I hold. I will go out all alone in this cruel world to see what fate has in store for me, O! that I had some one that loved me, to say a gen tle encouraging word; to help me up the rough path to fortune and ?. name." Poor Harrie did not think there in his desolation, of the blessing the gray haired man pronounced. He only thought how sad and lonely his life was, to be a lad of seventeen years. The snow had ceased rustling, and the glorious sun was mounting far across the azure dome, when Harrie awoke from a dreaming slumber. He dreamed he went out in search of some occupation, that he met an old man who was kind to him. "Ah! me, the kind man I dreamed of has held my eyes in slumber rather late, I must hurry and go out." Donning the best he had, Harrie went leaving us for a little while. CHAPTER II. "0! Grandfather," said a beautiful girl, as she heard footsteps approach ing lovr-rd the doorway. She ran hurriedly out to see if her grandfather had come, or was it fancy. A beautiful glad light shone in her lovely eyes as she affectionately met him. "Grandfather!" "My darling," the old man whispered "home at last." "Yes, I have waited so long for your return." And there beneath the stars, stand ing in spotless snow, a fair young girl and gray headed man were clasped in each other's arms. After the rapture of meeting was over, the old man said: "My darling, have you been lonely without your Grandfather?" "O, I cannot tell you how the days seemed to drag so slowly, you know I have never had a mother to love and pet me. No one but you, dear Grand- ! father, it seemed to me, I was like a i bird shut in from the beautiful wot Id i behind the gilded bars of his prison. : Hut I will not murmur since I have you with me again. "My darling," said the old man with ; a husky voice, "you are my very ! own little birdie." "But, Grandfather, tell me about your beautiful Italy, you have warned to visit so much." "Blossom, my own, you seem to forget that I am a poor tired traveler to-night. "Grandfather!" That one word and strangely beau tiful look was enough for the old man." "Dj forgive me, I was so thought less of you, in my delight." Then she flung her lovely arms about his neck, and whispered to him, "I will bring you some of my tea." Off went Blossom sure enough like a birdie. In a moment she was back wit tea, helping the old man, talking merry the while. The old man had a grave look on his face, and did not talk much, but sat as if wrapt in thought. He looked up once, and his dark eyes met those strangely beautiful blue ones of Blossom. "It is time my pet was dreaming sweet dreams now, I must retire," he said "and will talk over my beautiful Italy o i the morrow. Good night, Blossom, my own." "Good night, dear Grandfather." The world lay basking in the light of a beautiful sunrise across mountain and vale coated over in pure white making gems of the loose snow flakes, ere the old man opened his eyes to comtemplate the magnificent land scape. "I wonder if Blossom too is gaz ing on the beauty around us," he said to himself, and arranging his toilet he proceeded to the little parlor. Blos som's musical voice rang merily out on the invigorating air to greet him. "Come in," she said. The old man was bewildered as he beheld his darling, fresh as a lovely morning flower, in her dark gown with nut brown curls waving gently over a white blue veined brow. "Grandfather, I am so anxious to hear your recital of the wonders of fair Italy." "My own, come sit at my feet, so I may see your face." Blossom seated herself at his feet, with one arm resting on his knee, her head thrown slightly back unconscious of her beauty, that fair face of his grandchild would dispel the sorrow, and bring sunlight into the old man's heart. "To tell you when I arrived there in my native land I could not stay the tears that would come. I thought of the olden time when I was young, chasing the golden winged butterfly or romping joyiously on the green. Blos som, dearest, I have a few sad events to relate, ere I tell you of Italy. My mother I never knew, my father was taken from me when 1 was loo young as to contemplate the loss I had sus tained, his properly was securely man aged until I became of age. I lived the life of an exile in idleness, until I met a beautiful young girl. Then everything changed, I was not myself, I was ambitious to attain something noble for her my love, 1 wanted to mount the ladder, and be placed on a thtone of eminence all for her, but after my striving to be something and my great love for her, she did not love me in return. Then my heart was broken, I sought to erase her image from my heart by incessant travel and exile. I left my boyhood home to be a wanderer over oceans and plains. I wanted to bury my broken self in oblivion, and I have lived an exile fiom home ever since." "Grandfather, who am 1?" "You are Blossom Vernon, my own pet." "Tell me of my mother, dear Grandfather." "My child, your mother is dead." Blossom noticed the moisture on her grandfather's brow, but she did not know what it meant. Alas! for that beautiful girl she did not know. The old man recovered himself. "My Blossom, listen to me. We are to go to Italy, then you may see its grand old walls and listen to its sweet strains of music. "I can almost hear them to my heart steal ing, Like the nightingale's soft notei on balmy breezes pealing. "Dear, my poor feeble words are i inadequate to portray fair Italy." j "Grandfather, you have become el- oquent as you think of all that was ; dear to you. When will we start?" "On the morrow if you wish it." ! Blossom's lovely head was pillowed on his breast; and she sobbed out how ! happy she was. The old man let a j tear fall on her tresses, as he thought how little it was to make his darling I happy. CHAPTER III. Harrie bent his steps to the thor oughfares of Dalesville, hoping to find something to do. In vain he wan dered through the streets, nothing to do yet. He retraced his step to his solitary abode, and thought i-ite was against him, or his dreams did. not come true. He was not superstitious, still he could but think of his dream. He stootl lingering by in the twilight, feasting his eyes on the effulgent blaze of sunlight sinking in the amber tinted west. "I will try again on the morrow, he said bravely. In the golden morning, as Harrie was walking briskly noting everyone's face, to see if there were any kindly ones, he observed a tall handsome man with a pleasant countenance. Harrie went directly up to him, and asked lor a position. "Why, I am looking lor some one to do office work, how old are you?'' "Seventeen, sir." "Have you parents or a home, sir?" "No, sir, I have neither; I occupy a solitary disused room, yonder on that street which a gentleman was kind enough to let me have." "Did you ever wcrk before?" "I have, sir." "Come around to my office this af ternoon. Goodby." "Allow me to thank you, sir." "No thanks, come around this af ternoon." "My dream has come true," thonght Harrie as he wended his way back. Afternoon soon came, and found him tapping at the door of an office down the street. "Come in," said a voice within. Harrie stepped in with hat in hand, and his clustering curls reflected a ray of sunlight that was slanting across the floor. "What is your name?" "Harrie, sir." "Harrie -what?" "I could not tell. I have no other than this." "That is strange, have you never known father or mother?" "No sir." "Can you not tell me some of your history?" "I will relate as much as I know. Old nurse would tell me that my father and mother were dead. She said to me, "you will be able some day to visit England, and there in a beautiful spot tufted with green, you will find two graves, with your father's and mother's name on the marble slabs." That is all she would tell me of my family. I would often ask her what my name was except Harrie, and she would say, "You will know some day." WThen she let me play she? vrould be waiting for me at the door, and would take me on her lap, and tell wonderful stories of England.

She told me that it would be mine when 1 was grown, "and then you will know all" she would say. "Have you the case?" "I have, sir, but when nurse was dy ing she called me to her bedside, tak ing my hand in her's she made me promise that I would not open the casket until I am twenty one years of age. 'My child, this is a death bed promise and it is solemn. Will you promise?' she said." "I did as she wished. Then she closed her eyes in death. From that time until now I have worked my way as best I could." "Harrie, I will help you unravel the mystery," "Many, many, thanks. I am at your service." "Attend to those books on that table, and copy this document please." Harrie moved about with grace and arranged the books with taste. He was graceful and handsome and would arrest the attention of passers-by with his noble looking form. He was in telligent and had a love for all that was noble, grand and beautiful. He was so accommodating in the office his employer soon looked on him as one befitting a higher station in life and he had a deep love for this lovely youth. Harrie overcame every obstacle and glided through the labyrinths of incon stancy into a better channel nursing nobler thoughts every day. He loved the native music and when labor was through he would sit beneath the boughs watching the god of day sink behind the clouds, listening to the warble of sweet tongued birds. The days seemed to drag so slowly and grow monotonous as the thought would often come to him, that it would !e several years before he ould find the j graves of his loved ones and open the i casket which contained the secret he I wished so much to know. ! CHAPTER IV. ' Blossom and the old man were each ; in a deep revery after the conversation ; last recorded. I "Grandfather, pardon me. I inter rupted you. Do finish telling me." "Dearest, as I told you, I lived an exile from home. I will not pale the loses of your fair young cheeks with the sad visissitudes of ray life, but my own, I have another story to tell you when we are under the shelter of o r new found home. We will embark to morrow. I will have to leave my pet now, to make the preliminary arrange ments; kiss me before I go." Sweet day, so calm, so bnglv. Dalesville never looked more beautiful than it did on that when Blossom and the old man made their departure for the land of beauty, love and fliwers. Blossom looking out the window noted a handsome figure walking hurriedly when her strangely beautiful blue eyes met those of his. "Grandfather, look at that gentle man, he seems so kind; perhips her would help me with our luggage to the cars." Blossom quietly walked to him and touched his arm lightly. "Sir, I beg pardon, will you not help me to the cars? My grandfather is very old." Such strangely beautiful eyes were looking into Harrie's, for it was none other than he. He lost all activeness in beholding such a lovely being, and asking him to aid her too. He thought she was more beautiful than any one he had ever seen. He bowed to her a bow that was grace within itself. I will be more than pleased to as sist you. Are you taking a long jour ney, if I may ask?" "Certainly you may ask me. Grand father is taking me to his birth-land." "What country is it?" "Kind sir, the cars are here, we will c have to hurry, Grandfather is so feeble." "Harrie helped them with their lug gage. Blossom extended her hand, "I do not know how to thank you, sir." As Harrie held her hand in his, and beheld those beautiful blue eyes looking into his own, a strange thrill passed over his heart. He could find no words to say to her. He stood transfixed, gazing on the one so beau tiful until the poet's dream vanished from his sigh. Wherever he would go a pair of eyes, the color of heaven's own blue, were haunting him. "It was identically the same eld man that came to my door one bleak winter day. He did not recognize me," Harrie thought as he was sitting at his desk. "That must be the child he said was waiting for him. I wonder if I will ever see thjse beautiful blue eye again. She did not tell me where they were going." Their eyes had unconsciously met, jue uay wiieii me SKiet were ungui, Cupid will so often beget, liis arrows where they have loving light. "I will hunt the wide world over to look into those eyes again. I can not attend to business now. There is so much mystery shrouding me." Dipping his pen in the ink, Harrie took his hat and left the office to sooth his thoughts in the fresh balmy air. After strolling an hour or more he returned, but his thoughts were of the beautiful being, he had just seen. A well known poet has said, that all must love a beautiful woman, and so it was with Harrie. The poet has also said: 'Woman's vows are traced in sand, This record will forever stand." Here is another record that will tver stand: Men make promises but are never kept. Sin committed while innocence slept. He worked hurriedly for some time and was in the act of closing for the day when his employer came in. "Harrie, I have just received a letter from a f'iend of mine m England, re questing me to coir.f immediately. He has business of importance to settle. I have posted the answer tell ing him I would send my clerk, th it it was so I could not leave. Will you take the mission on yourself?" "I will be more than glad to com ply with your wishes. State the char acter of the business he expected to transact and I will do all I can.'"' Sptir.g in all her beauty wasdazzling to ihe e)e. Birds singing gayly flew fn in leaflet to fl)wer rejoicing with all natute. The world wore the coats of brightest hues the day Harrie left for Engl ind. Across the blue deep or amid the cities' pomp a pair of blue e)es were haunting him. He could :ioi rid himself of their presence. He sought the man and did the woik for him. He had permissi n to stay in England for some time. "I am resolved, while here, to find the graves of my loved ones," he thuught to himself. Every morning and noon would find him sauntering about the pi ices of celebrity m grand old England. He met many people and enjoyed the beautiful things he saw. He seemed to win the friend ship of all by his straightforward man ner. But those ejes were ever with h:m. One beautiful rnid-Mimmer eve, as he was strolling through long lanes and emerald pastures, his eyes were rivited on something gleaming white beneath the moon beams a few paces from him. His heart bounded in his bosom. He directed his footsteps on until he stood before the nmble slabs. He bent his eager eyes to the names graven thereon. "Matilda," was on one and the date of her death. Harrie's face was livid although he was glad, for he had seen Matilda written beneath a beautiful portrait that hung on the wall when his old nurse was living. On the other was "Eugene H. Raymond," and the dates also. "That must bs my father," thought Harrie. On bended knee at the graves of his found dead he petitioned God to direct him over the rough paths of life. TO ue continued next week. NEARER TO THEE. FRANK L. STANTON. They were singing, sweetly singing, And the song melodiously On the evening air was ringing: "Nearer, my God, to Thee!" In my eyes the teardrops glistened As it stirred the twilight dim, And I wondered as I listened If it brought them nearer Him. Were they like the wanderer, weary, Song and life in sweet accord, Resting in the darkness dreary In that nearness to the Lord? Had His Spirit ever sought them. To be slighted or denied? Had that dear song ever brought them Closer to the Saviour's side? I have heard its music often, Felt its meaning deep and sweet, And my weary heart would sof ten Singing at my Master's feet. "Nearer Thee" O precious feeling! Nearer Thee in gain and los-.; Nearer Thee when I am kneeli' g In the shadow of Thy cross! Nearer Thee when love descendi'ig Falls in blessing on my head; Nearer Thee when I am'bending O'er the graves that hide my dead! Nearer Thee in joy, in sorrow, "lis the same wher'er I roam, Nearer Thee to-dav, tomorrow, O my King, my Christ, my home! Original Observations. (Orange (Va.) Observer.)

Constipation can be cured easily and cer tainly by the use of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant l'ellets. lheyaie perfectly simple per fectly safe. They are not at all violent in their action, and yet they are more certain than many medicines which are so strong that they put the system all out of order. Ihe great advantage ot the ' Pleasant Pel lets" is that they cure permanently. You don 't have to keep on taking them. Von dotrt acquire a "pellet habit, as in using other pills. Take them regularly for a while, and you are cured permanently. After that, take them only when you find yourself suffering from indigestion. There are many medicines offered for the same purpose on which druggists make a bigger profit. For this reason, some druggists would rather sell the other things.

Printer's Jargon. Many people are not aware that printers have a language of their own, unintelligible to the uninitiated. The following "up-to-date" orders give an idea of the printing office lingo: "Billy, put Sir Charles Tupper on the galley, and finish up that murder you commenced yesterday. Set up the ruins of Herculaneum and distribute the small pox. Lock up Laurier and slide M'Carthy into the hell box and leave the pie alone until after dinner. Put the ladies' form to press, and go to the devil and put him to work on Deacon Fogg's article on Eternal Pun ishment." Now this is all simple enough when transferred into English, and not nearly so rough as the reader may imagine. Mirror. Wise Words. r i he South West.l Love always weeps when it has to whip.
