A STRANGE AIWESTURE.
Orrville was one of (hose sober
little American towns which a cer
tain class of novelists so delight to
select as the scene of their romances
nnd which frequently lie asleep for
so long a period of time that it is a
positive blessing when something
out of the ordinary course of events
happen, to awako them out of their
state of lethargy.
Orrville had been asleep for al
most twelve years, when an event
occurred which together with the
attendant incidents, completely
nroused the whole town.
Orrvillo was situated on Lake
"Wanona, one of the most charming
little sheets of water in our inland
States. In a secluded valley, shut
out as it were, frem all the rest of
the world by the surrounding hills,
with a solitary majestic mountain
keeping silent vigil over the slum
bering scene, lay the beautiful lake,
and, on its margin, the miniature
town. The spot was all that a poet
might fancy, or a romantic lover
sigh for; and when there was ad
vertised "A new summer resort, the
Orrville TIouso at Orrville," with
every accommodation, Sec, Sec, It is
not surprising that many persons,
who had been struck by the surpass
ing beauty of the place, as they
caught a flying glance of it in the
train, should respond immediately
to the opportunity, and engage to
spend the summer orautumu months
at so charming a resort.
Among the earliest guests at the
Orrvillo House, wero Charles Lacy,
a talented young barrister of limited
means, Colonel Harris and his
niece, Mattic Harris, and a Mr. Van
Haven, a haudsome young merchant
of New York.
Charles Lacy and Mattic Harris
had been playmates in their child
hood ; but the former had removed
from his native place in his fifteenth
year, and had never met the sweet
heart of his boyish days until time
had transformed him into the full
stature of a man. Uoth were now
so completely changed, that they
met at Orrvillo as entire strangers,
and were only recognizable to one
nuothcr by the mention of their
names and places of residence. The
acquaintance, thus renewed, ripened
into ardent love, and Charles Lacy
considered himself the luckiest
fellow on earth.
'Did yon hear the news, Mattie?'
asked Lucy, one morning, as his be
trothed seated herself at the break
fast table by his side.
'No; what is it?'
'Johnson & Co., bankers in this
town, have been robbed of over one
hundred thousand dollars!'
'You don't say so! When did
it occur?'
'Some time during the earlier part
of the morning. The thief, whoever
he is, made a pretty fair haul of it
left tho firm with a very small sum
for its own pocket-book. It was a
private bank-house, and involves
many of the leading persons of the
town.
'And they haven't secured the
guilty parties?'
No; and arc not likely to do so,
either. Men who take such goodly
sums as this, generally securo a safe
avenue of escape. But I can tell
you this,' he added, lowering his
voice, and inclining his head to
wards hers ; 'suspicion falls on the
Orrville House, but no one individ
ually, as far as I am aware of.'
'Just then a waiter placed a letter
by his side saying: 'Something for
Mr. Lacy.'
It read thus : 'Come to Dal ton at
once Your presence is needed im
mediately at Mr. Greenup's. Do
not delay. A. II.
'What is this ? Come lo Dalton at
once ! A. II. Who can that possibly
be? But I'll go.'
'I'm called away for a little while
Mattie,' said he, in explanation, re
placing the note in the envelope,
'but expect to be back soon. I must
go forthwith ;' and pressing her
hand, he left the breakfast room,
hurriedly packed a few necessary
articles in his valise, and was at the
station just in time to catch the
morning train.
It was evening. The calm round
moon smiled upon the placid little
lake in all her pensive glory. Nature
breathed her soft musical murmur-
rtugs, and everything seemed to
whisper 'Peace, peace!'
But the heart of Mattrfe Harris
knew anything but peace ae she left
the gay crowd of thoughtless dan
cers in the brilliantly-lighted hotel,
for an atmosphero more in harmony
with her saddened spirit. Her heart
was very heavy to-night. She wan
dered listlessly down to the water's
edge. A little boat lay moored
there. She seated herself in it,
where she felt she could be undis
turbed in her lonely meditations.
Her thoughts soon found utterance :
'What a change !' she murmured
'what a change from our happy
condition of a week ago! I can
hardly realize it! A bank robbed,
and Charles arrested as the perpe
trator of the robbery and thrown
into prison ! How could they ever
suspect him? Yet the circumstan
ces are very mysterious, and a hasty
investigation points to him. It is
evident to me, though, that he only
left Orrville temporarily that he
was really called away. Strange
that he should have destroyed the
letter, and that it turns out there is
no such person as Greenup in Dal
ton ! It is uot at all strange that he
should have become excited when a
couple of men laid their hands on
him as he was getting off the train,
and told him he wai a thief, and
was wanted immediately at Orryille.
Who wouldn't get excited under
such circumptauces? MVhat non
sense they allege! They say he
might have written the note himself,
and passed it through the post. But
I know he has not the least link of
connection with the allair; and the
authorities have no right to commit
him to prison, wlicrflie can obtain
bail from half a dozen different per
sons. But the people here are so
excited thai they will listen to noth
ing." A tear trickled down her pale
cheeks. 'Pshaw! I'll not be such a
baby; all will be right yet.'
She sat iu the boat until the lights
in the difFeient departments of the
hotel gradually disappeared, and
was just about to rise and return to
the house, when a figure, coming
down the path towards her, induced
her to retain her scat. The figure
proved to be that of the young
merchant, Mr. Van Haven. Mattie
had always been attracted by the
handsome face and winning manners
of the gay New Yorker, and rather
enjoyed his society than otherwise.
So she remained seated until betook
his place by her side.
'Let's row out upon the lake,' said
Van Haven, without an unnecessary
'Good evening,' as he raised the
shore. 'It is a very quiet night, and
we shall not be disturbed. Most of
tho folk3 have retired. We must
move cautiously.'
'Why?' questioned Mattie, rather
surprised at this remark.
'Why?' Do you want to betray
yourself?'
'Betray myself! Why, what are
you talking about, Mr. Van Haven ?'
Just then the moon, which had
been shining on his back, fell full
upon his face, and revealed a coun
tenance with an unusually strange
expression, and to the great aston
ishment of Mattie, the fact that her
companion was asleep ! Van Haven
had been known to walk in his sleep,
and perform a great many marvel
lous feats while in that condition ;
and Mattie Harris herself had jip
pened to meet him once while en
joying a somnambulistic ramble. So
she was not at nil frightened by the
circumstances under which she
suddenly found herself placed, but
somewhat astonished, and, being a
young lady of a good deal of mis
chief, and possessed of the usual
amount of curiosity, of course she
determined to let her companion
continue on his noctural excursion.
What are you talking about?' re
peated Mallie. hor saddened features
giving place to au amused smile.
'You know well enough what I
am talking about, Jim. Wc must
securo it to-night. It may be found
where we havo hidden it, and that
would be the last of us. That letter
was a sharp thing of ours, wasn't it?
I tremble lest Lacy may be cleared
though then suspicion would seek
some other party. So we'd better
find other quarters as soon as we can
possibly do so without causing any
comment upon it ; and, of course, we
will not let the money remain where
it is now.'
At the mention of Lncy's name,
and 'money,' Mattie's mind, which
for the past week had been invaria
bly coupling these words together,
caught eagerly at the suspicion thus
aroused ; and her very frame shook
as the light of a great disclosure
suddenly flashed upon her. She had
found one of the guilty parties, con
cerned in the bank robbery, and
could liberate her lover.
The discovery was almost too
much for her. A dim mist sufTuscd
her eyes. She clutched eagerly the
side of the boat. But she soon re
covered the first shock, yet did not
permit herself to speak, she tremb
led so violently.
Van Haven continued :
'We must leave to-morrow ; don't
you think so?'
' l es,7 ventured Mattie. 'Now let s
bo quiet, for fear we should be
heard.'
'All right.'
They moved slowly and noiselessly
across the rippling waters of the
lake, until they reached the opposite
shore. The woods hung darkly over
the tranquil depths, and all was
quiet. Van Haven tied the boat to
a saplitig, and stepped ashore, fol
lowed silently by Mattie. He led
the way to a dense thickot of under
brush, pausing a moment to assure
himself that they were alone. Hav
ing satisfied himself of this point,
he took a few steps forward and
cautiously raised a large stone.
Under it lay a casket. He picked it
up and replaced the stone.
I'll carry it,' said Mattie. with
avidious eagerness, feeling confident
that if she once got possession of
the stolen money all would be well
with her.
'Very well,' said tho somnarablist,
and consigned the casket to her keep
ing. 'Now let us get to tho boat
again, and wo will finish tho ar
rangement of our plans as wc cross
over for Orrville.
Mat tie considered it a matter of
prudence to agree, and followed her
sleeping companion to tho lako. He
took his seat in the boat and loosen
ed the chain from tho sapling, on
joining his associate to maintain
perfect silence until they should be
out on the lake. He seemed to
think that all was well, and shoved
off from tho shore.
Mattie stood in the moonlight, nnd
watched the boat and its solitary
oarsman until both were concealed
within the dark shadow of the
mountain, behind which the moon
was fast hiding herself.
I'm safe now !' she said, with n
joyful bound, 'But what shall I do?
I'm half a mile from any house, and
have no means of crossing the lake.
There is a road here somewhere,
though, which lead3 round to the
town. I'll walk to the hotel, if ii
takes till morning! There ia no
time to be lost.'
So saying, she began her search
for the road, which was 90011 fouud ;
and after four hours of rapid walk
ing, for which the excitement of the
occasion lent the requisite amount
of strength, she reached Orrville.
She lost no time in informing the
authorities of the town of her singu
lar adventure, producing the casket
for their examination iu proof of her
statement.
Early iu the morning before most
of the guests had arisen, the Orryille
House was surrounded by half a
dozen men, evidently intent upon
the capture of some one within.
Presently Van Haven made his ap
pearance on the ground floor veran
dah, apparently unconscious that
anything was wrong. The sight of
the police quickly undeceived him ;
it was tip with him. He was hand
cuffed at once, without any ceremo
nious notification of the reason why
he was thus rudely dealt with.
Mattie came down just then, after a
short sleep, and was requested to
follow when the officers started
down the street with their prisoner
in custody, attended by a large
crowd of excited spectator?, which
had soon congregated.
A preliminary examination con
vinced all parties of the guilt of Vau
Haven, but did not exouerale Lacy
from complicity in the affair. The
subsequent investigation, however,
fastened the guilt upon two parties
Van Haven and James Thompson,
an Orrville man, with whom the
former had been on terms of bus
picious intimacy.
Of course, all" redress was made to
Mr. Lacy for the hasty opinions of
the people concerning him, and was
accepted by him as satisfactory.
But a more material expression of
the thauks of the bankers was made,
when Mr. Johnson himself, the
senior partner of tho firm, rose in
the police court, and said, 'That in
consideration of the great injustice
done Mr. Lacy in so hastily arrest
ing him, and in consideration of the
surprising good scneo and bravery
of Miss Harris in securing the guilty
parties in this robber, it became his
pleasant duty to present in the name
of the firm, to the former, the sum
of ten thousand dollars; and to the
latter the sum of fifteeu thousaud
and that he could not accept no
refusal.
We need not attempt to describe
tho applause and good feeling elicit
ed by these remarks that is left to
the imagination of the roader.
No clamorous demonstrations of
gratitude were made by either of
the recipients of these princely
gifts; but both expressed their
thauks in a single sentence, and re
tired from the court together, amid
the uproarious acclamation of the
crowd.
Threo weeks afterwards, Orrville
was going wild over a gay wedding,
and had actually awakened out of
its long Rip Van Winkle sleep ; and
the happiest couple in that town
wero Charles Lacy and Mattie
Harris.
A woman in Wyoming Territory,
who has raised large numbers of
hens, says that after vainly trying
the recommended remedies for lice,
she hit upon the plan of giving them,
once or twice a week, a large loaf
made of graham flour in which a
handful of sulphur had been mixed.
The hens liked it, were freed from
the lice, and kept healthy all through
the summer.
IMMORTAL. MEMORY.
The Heavea aad Hrll ef ike
Fatare Extract from Oae ef
Mr. Meedyfit. EohIm 8r-
toaa.
I want to speak about tho memory
this afternoon. I think it is clearly
taught inJhe'worcP.of Godjhat we
will take memory away with us.
There ia a great deal said4about "the
books" in the Scriptures. When the
book9 are opened, I. think we will
find that that book spoken of is our
memory. "And every one," wo read
iu another place, "is to give an ac
count unless it is from memory?
And, when God shall aay, " Son,
remember ;" "Daughter, remember ;"
all tnat we have done will come
back. I think we will como back.
I think we will find that our memo
ries will be immortal.
Lord Bacon has said that there Is
not a thought that we ever had iu
our minds but that is laid away
there; It is not forgotten, as we
think, and passed from us, but it
will como back, nnd I havn't any
doubt but that memory is tho "worm
that dieth not." Wo read of men
that have remarkable memories. I
have read of a literary man of whom
it i3 said that he could remember
everything that he had ever written,
and everything that he had ever
read ; that he could repeat it. It is
said of oiie of the men of Athens
that he could call every citizen of
Athens by name, in a city of 20,000;
that he knew tho namo of every
citizen. It is said of Cyrus, the Per
sian general, that he could tell the
name of every soldier every pri
vate soldier in his whole army ; that
he could call them by name. He
remembered their names and could
call them all. Wc talk about onr
memories being very short and be
ing very treacherous, and we talk
about forgetting, but I think there
will be no complaint when God shall
touch the secret spring of memory
and say: "Son, daughter, remem
ber." Memory will be God's officer.
Wc talk about the recording angel
recording all our acts. I think when
we stand before God we will make
this discovery : that God has made
each one of us keep bis own record,
and that every one of us now is
writing his own biography, and that
there will be no one to condemn us
but ourselves. Wo will need no
other condemnation; wo will need
no one to rise in judgment and cou
derau us but our own memory, our
own biography that we havo writ
ten. We aro recording our own
lives, making our own record every
day, and by and by God shall change
our countenances and send U3 away
to road onr own livet.
In one of the insane asylums of
the east there is a man who has gone
up and down that asylum for years
crying out, "If I only had ; if I only
had." He was employed by a rail
way company to take care of a
bridge a swing-bridge and he re
ceived a dispatch from the president
of the road, or superintendent, not
to open the bridge until a special
train had passed. One after anoth
er wanted him to open it that they
might get their boats through ; but
he stood firm and refused. But at
last a friend over-persuaded him,
and bo turned that swing-bfidge,
and he hadn't more than got it turn
ed before he heard the coming of
the train. It was too late. He could
not replace the bridge, and he saw
that train leap into the chasm of
death, and many were lost. His
brain reeled and tottered upon its
throne, and at last he went mad and
they took him to the insane asylum,
and his cry has been for years, " If I
only had ; if I only had."
I cannot help but believe to-day
that there are many in eternity
whose cry is, "If I only had." They
can remember now their misspent
opportunities; they can remember
tho privileges that they once had
here upon earth ; they can remember
the offers of mercy; they can te
membcr the entreaties of their
friends, but it is too late now. Their
doom is scaled ; their character for
eternity is fixed. They rejected the
mercy of God; they rejected the
grace of God, and there they are
gone, passed from time into eterni
ty. Another thing that make9 me
believe that wo will have memory
to take away with us is by what I
have read and my own experience.
I have read of men that were dying,
as they supposed, and In the twink
ling of an eye their whole lives
were crowded into a second of time.
I was reading not long ago of a man
that fell twenty feet, and he thought
that it was going to kill him, that he
would surely die, that the fall would
be the end of him, and in that twen
ty feet he remembered everything
that he bad ever done or said, nnd
his whole life was crowded into an
instant of time. I was drowning
once ; I bad gone down the second
time, and jast as I was going down
tho third time and life was leaving
the body I wa3 rescued ; and when
I was going down the third time, in
an instant, in the twinkling of an
eye, everything that I had ever done,
the things that had laid buried in
memory for years, all came back:
my whole life was crowded into a
second of time. I have not any
doubt that when the soul leaves the
body momorywill be at work ; and
I veutore to say, if yon conld speak
to tho3o who have passed away, anil
if you could to-day get their testi
mony, they would tell you that what
makes eternity so hard to endure is
their memories. St. Louis Globe

Talk at Home.
Endeavor always to talk your best
before your children. Thoy hunger
perpetually for new ideas. They
will learn with pleasure from the
lips of parents what they deem It
drudgery to Icorn from books, and,
even if they have to bo deprived of
many educational advantages, they
will grow up intelligent if they en
joy iu childhood the privilege of
listening daily to the conversation
of intelligent people. We some
times sec parent), who are the life
of every company which they enter,
dull, silent and uninteresting at
home among their children. If they
have not mental stores sufficient for
both, let them first use what they
have for their own house-holds. A
silent home is a dull place for young
people, a place from which they will
escape if they can. How ranch use
ful information, on the other baud,
is often given In pleasant family
conversntion ;aud what unconscious,
but excellent, mental training in
lively social argument! Cultivate
to the utmost the graces of conver
sation. A WoodeH IVufcli.
A North Carolina paper, the
Abingdon Standard, has the fol
lowing: Some time ago Mr. E. A.
Johnson, of Johnaon Brothers, jew
elers, of this place, made a plain,
open-face, wooden watch that at
tracted a great deal of attention, but
was subsequently eclipsed by Mr.
Doroit, of Bristol, in a watch some
what more elaborate in de9ign. Not
to be outdone, Mr. Johnson put to
work ou another watch, and has
turned out a handsomo double-case
stem-winder and stem-setter, every
piece of which, save the main and
hair springs and crystal, are of wood
and made entirely by his own hands.
Even the springs to the cases are
mado of wood. It keeps splendid
time, and is sufficiently strong to bo
used as a pocket time-keeper. It is
of ordinary size, and when or
namented, as he expects to do, it
will be a handsome tribute to his'
skill and ingenuity.

A young man that works for his
board, no matter what honest work
he has, has no reason for shame. A
young man who cats the bread of
idleness, no matter how much ho
has, is disgraced. All young men
iu starting in life ought to aim, first
of nil, to find n place where they can
earn their bread nnd butter, with
hoe, axe, spade, wheelbarrow, cur
rycomb, blacking brnsh no matter
how. The bread and butter question
settled, let the young man perform
his duty so faithfully as to attract,
and let him keep his eyes open for
a chance to do better. About half
of the poor, proud young men, and
two-thirds of the poor, discouraged
young man are always out of work.
The young men who pockets his
pride, and carries an tipper lip as
stiff" as a cast iron door-step scraper,
need not starve, and stands a chance
to become rich, if be cares to.
We believe Senator Paddock is
gaining friends in our state every
day, and although not personally
acquainted with him we judge from
the industry and interest be man
ifests in the affairs of our state that
he has made the interests of the state
identical with his own and not
merely subservient to his own ag
grandizement. He has his oppo
nents as every positive man will,
but if his acts are fairly viewed in
the light that we would desire our
own to be looked upon under sim
ilar circumstances we shall find be
has-been a faithful servant of the
state. Tekamah Burtonian.
A one-legged Welsh orator named t
Jones was pretty successful in ban
tering an Irishman, when the latter
asked him, "How did yon come to
lose your leg?" "Wcll,"said Jones,
"on examining my pedigree and
looking up my descent, I found
there was some Irish blood in me,
and, becoming convinced that it was
all settled in my left leg, I had it cut
off at once." "Be the powers, ex
