Bert was determined to go. He wouldn't ask his father, for he was f ure his father would say no. He didn't quite like a positive command, so he would say nothing at all about the matter. Bert was 13 years old, and it was hijrh time that he began to exercise his own judgment, at least when his affairs were concerned. He should like to know what harm his goin? down to the river for a quiet moonlight swim could possi bly do anybody. He would try it, at all events. ed Sellers would be there, and Frank Peters. They did not seem to care whether their parents liked . it or not. Bert could not feel so exactly; but where was the sense in a boy's going to his father every time he turned round ? He was going. He had fully made up his mind to that. He went up to bed at the usual tune, however, but his mother, coming into his little bedroom about half an hour afterward, was surprised to find him almost hidden by blanket and quilt, though it was a warm night in August Why, Bert, you 11 smother. Do let me pull off some of these clothes: " But Bert held them tightly down. "I ain't cold, mother. I mean I ain't warm. " "Are you sick?" "No'm. " "Two blankets and a quilt, " laughed hk mother, as she turned away. " I don' t know what you are made of, Bert. " And jacket and trousers and stock ings and shoes." thought Bert, as he snapped his fingers very softly under a weight of bedclothes. The beautiful moon looked in at the window. It seemed as if the hours had never lagged so. The time agreed upon was 11 o'clock. Twice Bert found him self napping. Suppose he should go to sleepl The idea was not to be enter tained for a moment. He sat up in bed and listened, until at length the welcome strokes greeted his ear. He was tired and sleepy and very warm. He opened his door softly and went down stairs. He took his hat from the nail, and just then a plaintive "mew" greeted his ear. "Hush! Be still, Cuff," said he, in a whisper. Cuff was very glad to see him, and was determined to tell him so. "Bow, wow, wow," was his next greet ing. Be quiet, Prince. Stop your noise!" said Bert, sharply. Prince knew his young master's voice, and, like Cuff, was delighted to be near him, and gave expression to his feeling in a succession of loud barks. "Hadn't you better go down, John?" asked Bert's mother. "I am afraid some one is trying get in. " "They can't get farther than the shed," was the careless reply. "I left that open." In a few moments all was quiet again. Prince lay down at Bert's feet and Cuff stretched herself beside him. Very care fully he crept toward the door, hardly daring to breathe in his anxiety. But Prince had not been asleep. No, indeed! He started up at the first sound of his master s footsteps. It was evident that something unusual was going on and he was determined to be in it. "I must run as fast as I can," said Bert to himself. "Hit or miss, there's noth ing else for me to do now. " To go forward in the moonlight with his mother watch mg him from above would be foolish, indeed. To remain in the shed to be discovered by his father seemed equally unwise. He had very little time to think about the matter for at that moment he heard the well known footsteps on the stairs. He darted over to the shed closet, Bhut the door, and tremblingly awaited the result. After standing painfully still for about 10 minutes, during which Prince's signifi cant sniffs and growls had thrice driven him to the very verge of disclosure, he was left unmolested in the dark closet. Be opened the door, but the shed seemed darker yet. No loving cat or friendly doe was there to cheer or betray. But while he was thinking and wondering, waiting until he was sure his father and mother were asleep again, the old clock rang out the hour of 12. Midnight! It was of no use to go then; the boys would begone. And so Bert crept up stairs to his room, cross and dissatisfied, feeling that the fates were against him. Be was late to breakfast the next morning. His mother laughingly in quired if the weight of the bedclothes baa affected ma Bearing. "Yea'm no'm. I mean I guess not, ' he replied absently. "What sort of a boy is that Ned Sell ere?" inquired his father at length. Bert started. "I don't know. I think he's a pretty good boy. Why?" "I passed the house this morning. Some one was getting a terrible flogging, and I think it must have been Ned. " What for? Do you know ?" yea. They spoke very loud and I could not help bearing. It was for run ning off last nignt. Uomg swimming, believe. " Bert's eves flashed. "That's iust like his father, " said he Indignantly. "He never wants Ned to have any fun. There was no reply. Some hidden feeling, he could hardly tell what, prompted Bert's next question. "Would you flog me, father, if I went swimming: without leave ? "That depends upon circumst mces, " replied tne iatner, looawg searcmiigiy into his face. "If my boy were mean enough to skulk out of the house at night when I supposed him to be abed and asleep, it is just possible that I might not cooaidexjum worth flogging. , txow B01T8 cneeks burnea. lie nau never looked at the matter in just that lent before. Never be a sneak, my son. It is cow ardly and disgraceful. " Bert made no answer, but his thoughts were busy. As he thought how good his father was to him, often denying himself for his sake, two large tears rolled slowly down his ruddy, sunburnt cheeks. "What is it, my boy?" He brushed the tears away hastily. "Father," said he, "I've been a sneak; but I won't be a coward. I was going with the boys last night." "Ah!" "Yes, sir. I should have gone if it hadn't been for the dog and the cat and the rest of them. It wasn't any goodness of mine that kept me at home." "My dear boy," said his father, "I knew you were in the shed last night; and if you had gone very likely I should have gone with you without your know ing it. But now you are my honest boy again, and I am proud of you. " Bert wrung his fathers hand and rushed out into the rain. Just like the monitors at school, "" said he, seriously. "Making such a fuss that a fellow can't go wrong if he wants to. " And he took Cuff up in his lap and patted Prince's shaggy coat. BE PROMPT. If you are going to do anything, do it promptly. The longer you wait and think about and dread it, the worse it will be. Be prompt. Life is a great deal pleas- anter to the person who promptly does what he is required to do. Don t keep your friends waiting. You have no right to waste the time of other people. If you are one half hour behind time in fulfilling an engagement, you may cause a dozen other parties to break en gagements, and untold perplexities and delays may come out of just that little shortcoming of yours which you look upon as such a trifling thing. To an active energetic wide awake person there is nothing more trying and more annoying than to be made to wait. Brace up and make an effort, you shiftless indolent always behind hand folks, and see if you can not come to time! If you have agreed to be at a certain place at a certain time, be there, unless you are sick or dead. In either case you might be excused, but not otherwise. If you are a man, don't keep your wife waiting dinner for you, unless there is some good and sufficient cause, and gen erally there is not. Delaying a dinner spoils not only the dinner, but the temper of the woman who is managing it. If you are a woman, and your husband says he will be round at 4 o'clock to take you to drive, be ready for him. Have your bonnet and gloves on. Don't keep him dancing on the pave ment for ' half an hour clinging to a fidgety horse, while you leisurely get on your wraps and look at your back hair in a hand glass, and hunt up your gloves and your parasol, and wonder whether you had better take an extra shawl or not. Have all these things attended to and decided on before the time he has fixed. A little system and a good deal of de termination will help you to be prompt; and after you once get in the habit of it, you will like it. It is refreshing to do business with one who is always .in time, and who, you know, will be on time. He begets courage and confidence in everybody with wliom he comes in con tact. He is a power in society. He is a bless ing to the world. When he dies he will be missed. Teach the children early to be prompt. Teach them to respect a promise. Bring them up to tell the truth and stick to it A broken engagement is a lie. Some times it is worse than a lie, and may cause a great many more unpleasant complications than a lie. Be careful in making agreements, but when you have once agreed, stick to the terms of the agreement. And if you follow out the prompt, punctual, persevering method of doing everything when it needs to be done, there are ninety - nine chances in a hundred that you will be successful in life; and if you are not you will have the delightful consciousness of knowing that you have deserved success, and you will not be continually beset by the remorse ful thought that if you had only come to time, if you had only been prompt, you would have achieved success instead of failure. Modern Courtship. Modern courtship and marriage have been wittily described as A little kiss, A little bliss, A little ring 'tis ended ; A little jaw, A little law, And lo! the bonds are rended. -New York Herald. It Was Too Natural. A boy at Niagara Falls learned to hoot like an owl, so as to give signals when he got'out to the Indian country. He hooted in the back yard of a citizen to see if his intonation was a go, and the man came out and fired a shot which peppered him all over, and almost caused his death. Beggs' Family Medicines.

CHAPTER VIII. Well, all things must have an end, even that dinner, though it was a very long one. Those who were the artistically-inclined-un-der-difficulties, went back to catch what they might of the scamper ing elk. No one had noticed that the sky was not bright as it had been certainly they had not ; the sky was far off and a better heaven close around them. The artisti cally inclined had just renewed battle with the elk, when mutter ings from an inky cleud gave hint of the approach of an uninvited visitor. This had not been on the programme ; it was an involuntary thrown in. What was to be done ? Should they stay where they were and take what came ? Yes they would, the storm would only be fun. With danger in the distance they were very brave. Then this treat came on ; its voice was not pitched on tenor key, but it ran the full diapason before many minutes. The sough, the rush, the roar, the crash ! of course they were all brave still brave as rabbits when the dogs are on their track. Eugene led the others to a ledge of rock at some distance, where they could be spared the full fury of the wind, and where he hoped to find something of over-hanging rock that might give partial shelter. The appeance had been deceptive ; there was no shelter, no protection. Raving, sobbing winds, water in primeval deluge ; chaos of wind and water and pelted things flying defenceless, dazed the eyesight. In the midst of this conflict of elements, some spiritual supporter proposed three cheers for the pic-nic. Eugene, however, was seriously anxious concerning his sister, whose shattered health was hardly to be improved by a 'cure' like this. He had started from the oth ers to hunt up any possible shelter that might be found, only to be met by blinding rain and sleet and mist, and to know the utter use lessness of his attempt. Suddenly a form appeared before him. It seemed to him a ghostly figure in the draping mist and rain, yet something familiar too about it. "Eugene," said this ghost, "I have come to take you, come all of you." "Dene Ulman !" exclaimed Gif ford in amazement, "do you live among these clouds ?" "I do rather often," retuned the dripping Ulman, who looked in deed as if this experience ' was a part of his regular diet, "but my mother s home is not far off and I have come to take you ; come, be quick." They soon joined the party, and for a moment the stranger sunk backward in shyness. But this was a time for manliness and good deeds, and he felt his higher na ture spur him on. His eye caught sight of Madeline. Even in that storm, with a light bowing of the head he approached her, that - had in it more language of regard, than many courtly salutations. "My mother sent to ask you to come and take shelter," he said in gentle tone. "How can I thank you for such kindness," Madeline, replied with earnestness, and something, like a flash of joy passed over her face, and through her heart. She made a slight movement toward him, and he placed his hand on her arm to offer what help he might. Eugene seeing his sister cared for, started the rest of the party on. He glanced around for Edith. She was there, quiet, among the others. If the sea had given them up from its depths, they could not have been more wet. They were not like sponges, but their plastered garments, shedding water as they went, hair dripping and tailing in strange shapes over wet faces, bonnet and hats in most unheard-of styles, was as novel a scene as 'first nights' of a play. If his disposition had been less tender, the comic sight they pre sented would have been not a lit tle entertaining. He looked at Edith. It had always appeared to him that she was constantly looming up in some new phase ; now the expres sion of her face was another reve lation. With eyes that seemed to iook Deyona tne ciouas into a golden glory beaming, far-reach ing joyous. The universe seemed larger, grander, to her, with its mighty forces clashing their pow ers close about her, than she had ever realized before ; and the majesty of Nature drew her to the seventh heaven. As Eugene gazed into her face, he said with in himself "climb what heights I may, she is higher still ;" and for a few moments, he forgot his care 01 the party to feast his crav ing for something to adore. Our friends, regards, loves, meet us on different planes ; to Eugene, Edith was soul-to-soul wnerever lite is fair and heavenly. Ulman led the way, others fol lowing not far off, nor could they know whither they went : for in the waning daylight, if a bound less ocean had been around them, they could scarcely have seen less of the solid earth. As Madeline walked through the storm, the touch of the hand upon her arm seemed eloquent of gen tleness and sympathy. The life blood in her veins sprung into health ; the world had changed character, She had known Uttle but its coldness and hardness. She had been forced to contend with the tricking of the shrewd defrauder, with dishonesty under smoothe apparel, and sometimes she fancied she had turned to ada mant. Now a new humanity and fullness of soul, wrapped itself around her. Under the guidance of their timely benefactor, the cabin was reached where Mrs. Ulman await ed them with large wood fires burning in the open fire-places, of the two rooms which afforded such accommodation. They were too considerate to yield to her kindness, by going at once into the rooms which her housewifely care had made as pleasant as her small means permitted. Their flooding garments would have added small comfort to the cozy apartments. But country cabins with their good stock of outside members, meet such emergencies better than city mansions. It was a busy time, and great indeed had need to be the kindly disposition of the hostess, with such a swarm of drenched creatures installed in her home. The heaped-up wood fires did much to transform the mermaids, and the evening meal of sweet fresh milk and wholesome bread, tasted to the restored water-nymphs like food of Eden. (To be continued.) IKe Vance Wear a SashP Now they tell it on Senator Vance that he has been guilty of wearing one of these dude silk welly wands, but that when he came down here to tell the Scotch Irish how to farm, he discarded his city garb and wore a suit that had been keeping the Gombroon moths in provender for three years past. There must be some truth in the rumor about the Sen ator and the sash, for when Vance returned to Washington the Star greeted him with this refrain: now senator Vance May take off bis pants. And put on his sash with elation ; lie may dress as he feels. For the loyal Tar Heels Have endorsed him by acclamation. The Alliance platform is not vet fully made up, and at its next general meeting we expect to see a plank inserted demanding a tariff on silk sashes and "yaller" shoes. Charlotte News. Really. Bro. Harris, vou have made a good point. We feel sure that something of this kind is leeded. We also endorse the principles" of your proposition. But after mature reflection we are satisfied that this government has no powers under the constitu tion to tax -siiK sashes and "yaller shoes.' Therefore, it beincr "un constitutional," the outraged peo ple must continue to yell "tariff reform," "red-legged grasshop pers and "yaller-legged dudes," though . relief cometh not. We are sure that Senator Vance will heartily approve of the sentiments expressed above. Progressive Farmer. Praying for Party Success at a Conven tion. Indinapolis, Ind., Sept. 10.

Where would our commerce be if the workmen "struck" as so many have done in England lately ? Police men, Post-men, Dockers, and even Soldiers have not latelv "felt inclin ed" to do their duty.

Sometimes, thoughts rise to one's mind as naturally as champagne fizzes the moment the cork is with drawn. Everything then is easy, and page after page is rapidly covered with close writing.
