OABLQTm.
It was a beautiful room, a room In
which articles of taste and vurtu were
scattered on every baud with a lavish
profusion which spoke of great wealth,
and a love of the beautiful on the part
of the inmate. Ottomans covered
with Tich velvet, tables inlaid with
precious metals, ormolu clocks and
choice pictures were every where to be
seen. And in the midst of all thia
magnificence a woman sat with her
face buried in her hands, miserabloin
the possession of everythiiiir which
should make life pleasant. And Mich
a woman ! One before whom since
time was, the great and proud of earth
have bowed down. One who, in her
beauty and grace, is stronger than the
swords of men. Aa she sat, her lace
could not bo seen; but her magnifi
cent hair covered her body like a
mantle. There was no pretcnevf of
confining its grand profusion. Dark
and rich, it rolled about her form in
an untrammeled mass. Her figure
was slight, but symmetry in itself.
Then she raised her head and showed
her face. lives Iarceand dark, full of
the fire which that little taint of Bo
hemian blood always gives. A skin
like satin, white and pure. Teeth like
peails. Altogether, a beautiful wo
man! She had been weeping, for
there were traces of tears yet upon
her cheek. But an effort of her strong
will had driven them back to the
fountain whence they came. Stretch
ing out a white anil jeweled hand, she
rang a bell, and a servant entered,
quicklv.
"What is the time?" she said.
"Past midnight," replied the ser
vant, a dark, proud, beautiful girl.
"The virtuous portion of Now Tork,
exceot thafVwhicb is uirharmv'lias
sought its couch long since. Why do
you weep, tiny "lady? I cannot bear
to see it.
"Child. "said the lady, "what would
you do if the man you had loved, the
one ou which your life hopes were set,
the one whom you thought true as the
stars in heaven, hail trampled on your
heart? I say, what would you do?
"My lady, you are of the blood
which warms ni3r veins, the wild,
rich blood of the Bohemians, and you
will understand me when I say that I
would drive a dagger to the hilt iu his
heart, or that of my rival." "I could
strike better against the bosom of the
last," she said.
"Zella, perhaps it would have been
well with me if I had listened to no
other treachery except that of the Bo
heminns. But I have learned too
much iu the customs of those of 1113
father's blood to take your wild meth
ods of revenge."
"Then let me do it, my lady. How
often have I told you that poor Zella,
always ready to do anything, to dare
nnvtiiimr. for the ladv of her love.
Then give me the chance toserve you.
Lady, I know poisons which kill as
quick as thought, and nono can tell
that poison has been at work. Trust
me. I will prove 1113 love for you."
"Zella, you cannot understand. If
I am deserted, if I am forsaken, I
love the one who has left me desolate."
"There must be another," said Zel
la, her dark eyes gleaming. One
whom he loves."
'There is another. I was but a pas
sing toy.
lie thought to do as all
others had done, cast himself at the
feet of the great singer, Carlotta, and
bieathe of love in her ears. "Why?
Because it was the fashion. I took
them for what they were worth, but,
God help me, I believe and trust in
him. A handsome face and serpent
tongue have wrecked in' happiness
forever and a daw Sometimes I feel
as if I could strike him dead at 1113'
feet if he ever comes to me. But ho
will not. He is ever by the side of
her, the Byren who has charmed him
awav from me."
"if she has half your beauty, my
lady, she has the most beautiful face
in this great city, except 3our own.
Well, let me find her. And God do
so toime. and worse also, If I
strike her dead."
"Zella, bo careful. You putBtrange
thoughts hi my head. You make me
hate her while 3ou speak, more than
ever. And oh, to think that I must
go upon the utago each night, to sing,
and mile, and be admired, while sor
row is tugging at my heart! La?t
night he was there in one cf the box
es, and bhe was witn mm. fetich a
sweet, angel face 3-011 never saw, Zel
la. Golden brown hair, with a ripple
in it, and casting, it seemed to me. a
halo round her head. And he adored
her. I could see that; and I am for
saken." "M3 Zella, if he comes, do not ad
mit him. I cannot see his face, or
inv heart will grow soft again. It
takes but little to warm it into life.
You may go now."
Zella went out, but wae gone onh- a
moment. "He is here," she said, "re
turning. "I cannot get him to go
awaj'. He says he will wait until
morning, but that he will see you. 1
could kill him !"
"Zella."
"My lady?"
"If 3ou did, I should kill you. Re
member, he is not to ue narmea.
"He is safe from me," said Zella.
"But the brute will not go awa3'.
What are wo to do with him ?"
"I will see him," said Carlotta, sud
denly. "Yes. I will see him, and
know what is in his herrt. Ah ! take
awav that knife from the table. I do
not know what he may tempt me to
do. to kill ui3'self. or him.'
Zella removed the jowel-hilted dag
ger which laj- upon the stand near
the window, and went out. Soon af
ter, quick steps sounded on the stairs,
the door was thrown open, ami r.
young man sprang into the room and
IHiBII I
came toward her, holding out both
hands. A frank, haudaome face he
had, a pleasant face for woman's eye.
A stalwart form and quick, proud
step.
She recoiled from him with a cry,
putting out her hands as if to push
him from her.
"Keep back!" she cried, in a shrill,
unnatural tone, "keep back, I say.
Why do you come here?"
"Carlotta!"
The young man paused, the happy
smile passed from bis lip, and- his
hands dropped to his side.
"Astonishment! You do not un
derstand me, you ! What am I? A
singer of some merit, one at whose
feet even princess have sued in vain,
and yet I bowed my heart to thy
hand, those things of little worth.
To think that Carlotta Menotti shduld
debase herself to love thee, and
then"
"Carlotta," he said, "you drive me
mad. How can I understand: you,?"
"Oh, easily, if you will. I am only
Carlotta Menotti, the singer. You are
Randolph Payne, one of the New
World aristocracy, who has honored
her by making her the object of the
Grande Passion. Honored, forsooth !
But go ; let me not see thy perjured
face again. Remember m after time
that while you were true to her, Car
lotta was your slave; but 1 hen you
disowned her, she also cast you off."
"Carlotta," said Randolph, "as God
is my judge, I never ceased to love
you. I told you when I laved you
first thatsocity would make some ex
actions, which must be kept, and
sometimes take me from your side,
but that all my leisure should be
yours. But why do you speak so
strangely to me ? How have I sin
ned in thought, word or deed?"
"Oh that Zella had not taken away
that dagger!" cri.ed Carlotta. "I
would kill you; I would kill you as
you stand there, with your bad, cruel
face. You say you have not been un
true. Go ; you have lied to all ! Do
you hear? You have lied ! I kuow
3'ou to be false. I know 3'ou to be
base. From this time forth, never
meot me, never let me see j'our cruel
face. Go, before I do a deed to make
the city shake."
But he stood there, his arms folded
on his breast, pale and cold. "Go on,"
he said briefly.
"I have said what I would ; now
go," was her only repl3r.
"I have something to say. Do jou
think I do not fathom j'ou, consum
mate actress though 3'ou are ? Do
3'ou think j'ou can hide 3'our evil
thoughts beneath this cunning mask ?
You might do this with others, never
with me. 1 have read 3'our heart too
deepl3'. I have found its utmo-it
depths. I thought it a pure fountain
of love until now. Do E not kuow?
Some richer man than I has purchas
ed 3our favor, and I, who could outy
come to 3Tou with an open heart and
a pure love, am to be cast aside like a
woru slipper. Oh, I kuow how these
things are done, my dear Carlotta.
Your pretence of infidelity r.on my
partialis to the ground,"" SJ. .,
"Bhehad listened toliim w.ith.dilatetP
eyes until he had finished.
"What do 3'ou la to mj' charge?"
she said. "That I have had suitors?
I chose- 3'ou from among them all.
Have I been inconsistent? Never.
1 am not now. You dare to say to
me that I am actiug a part to bo rid of
you. Be it so, but so, but go. Put as
many miles between us as you can,
but finger not. I wish you all the
happiness 3-QU maj' get in 3'our new
love. I hope she is to 3'our tasto."
"M3T new love!':
"More well feigned astonishment.
The stage has lost a brilliant light in
3'ou. But go 3'our ways, and when
3'ou are sick of your new passion,
come back to me and let me spurn
you from me, as I will."
She turned and darted into her
sleeping apaitment, and he heard the
click of the lock as the ke3' was turn
ed. He went awa3', and on the couch
within the room she laid face down
ward on. tearing her beautiful hair.
On the stair he met Zella.
"What have 3'ou said to the lad3 ?"
she demanded.
"Oh, but little. There is a misun
derstanding between us. She thinks
me untrue. .Let it nnss. 1 loved her
dearil3' ; I love her now
ing to tako 1113' place?"
Who is go-
"Sir!"
"1 know she means to marr3 and
leave the stage. Who is the luck3'
man
fit
"You insult my mistress," replied
Zella, fiercelj-. "She will go to her
grave with the image of such a vil
lain as 3'ou are engraven on her heart.
Go 3'our ways, sir. I love m3r mis
tress, and 1113' education has been of
that stamp which teaches me to strike
down 1113' euem3'. Beware of the
Gipsies."
Ho turned away from her and left
the house. A coach was passing and
he hailed it. Throwing himself in,
he gave a number to the driver, and
was driven rapidly away.
Next night, at the opera, ho saw
her again in Lucretia Borgia. He
was iumie of the stage boxes, so near
her thatrtt limes, as she moved about,
he could almost touch her with bis
hand. The audience greeted her tu
multuoualy as -8hoswont upon the
do nottstogu Randolph thought he had nev
er seen her look so beautiful, and his
companion, a brilliant girl with gold
en hair, joined in the applause.
"How do 3ou like her now, Julia?"
ho said.
"Better than ever, Randolph. And
I believe she is a true woman. No
other could act like that."
"I thought so," he said, gloomil3r,
"until last night. . But now never
mind. Where shall we go to-morrow
night, littje one? Have you anything
in mind?"
"Here," said the little beauty, with
an imperious tap of her fan. "Every
night while she acts I will come here
to see her."
It was in one of those lulls in con
versation which sometimes happen on
the stage, and Carlotta heard what
she said. A fierce light shot from her
dark e3'es.
"She will come here ever3' night
and bring the captive she hath taken,
and gloat upon 1113' miser3'. She shall
not do it. I will find a wa3' to drive
her from this place. She shall not
torment me," thought Carlotta. "Oh,
that the poison I give these were real,
how gladlv would I mix it with the
wine she drinks to-night."
She had her e3'es on Randolph
much of the time when not upon the
stage, for the box where he was seated
was in view of the wings. She could
see that he was not happy and felt a
sort of fierce J03- in the knowledge
that she was not alone in miser3.
"That bab3 face beside him," she
thought, "is more powerful than I.
Sunn3' hair, a smile as brilliant, and
a.prett3' wa3 has won him from me.
And 3'et he is sad in his conquest.
God pltr him, if he had been happ3.
My Gips3' blood would then have full
I sway and both should die."

How she got through her role that
nightt.she never knew. But the look
ers on applauded, boquets and costly
pieaents fluttered down upon the
stage, and cheers shook the house.
The Baritone led her before the cui
tain, where she had strength enough
to bow and smile at her enthusiastic
admirers and retreat. But just as the
curtain hid her from sight, Randolph
saw her droop like a crushed flower
and fall prosfate. Springing up, he
dashed out of the box, with hardl3 an
adieu to his companion, who took the
proceeding coolly enough, and ran
behind the scenes. He found her
supported in the arms of the Baritone,
pale from the contrast with the black
dress she wore.
"Stand aside," he said fiercely. "B3'
what right do you hold her?"
"Pardon me," said the Baritone in
very bad English. "Has the Signor
a better right? If so, I yield my
place."
A dancer whispered in his ear, and
he rose with a smile. "Take her,
Signor," he said, "yocr elaita is the
best."
Randolph supported her head upon
his breast, bathed her face with water,
amid the smiles and pointing fingers
of the actors, alwa3s jealous of each
I other, and- hal a mind to kiss the
white face upturned to. his. At last
her breath came struggling back,
feebl3' at first, and then she opened
her lustrous eyes and saw who held
her.
"PaDdolph! Ah!"
The gesture of repulsion, the bitter
cr3 cut him to the heart.
"You will be better in a moment.
Be quiet," he said, gnawing his thin
lip.
"I am better now," she replied,
struggling up out of his arms. "There,
you need not hokl me. X thought I
told you not to come to me again."
"I wa3 just going," said Randolph.
"Very well. Go. Signor Carl, may
I trouble 3011 for the aid of your arm

wonder at 1113' weakness. It must

have asked the aid of Signor
Carl; he will not refuse it."
"I am honored," said the polite
Italian. "Madam does me no more
than justice."
"You will not dare to slight me
openly," said Randolph. "As for
3Tou, sir, stand aside."
But Signor Carl was obstinate.
"Only at the request of Madam Car
lotta," he said. "Signor Payne for
gets himself."
"I forget nothing," replied Ran
dolph. "B3' heaven, I will see 3'ou to
3'our carriage. I must speak to 3'ou.
I must understand it."
"Let us have the curtain up," said
Carlotta "such talent should not be
lost even upon a New York audience.
A new star!"
"Well, have 'our way. But where
'ou can go, I can follow, and I will."
"Aud leave your lady to herself,
sir? That would not be gallant.
Your arm, if 3'ou please, Signor Carl."
..The Italian offered his arm, and
-leaning on-,it, ahepassed from the.
stage, her bosom in a. tumult.
"Not 3et forgotten," slie thought.
These charms have 5Tet power to move
him. "What can it -mean. Is this
man I have loved, so great an actor,
so great a villain ? If I thought so, I
would tear him out of 1113' heart,
though some of the strings were par
ted." Then shespoke aloud, "Thanks,
Signor."
"Shall I not see theSiguora home?"
ho asked.
"It is not necespa-," sho replied.
"I should be sorry company, to
night. Adieu."
The Signor bowed, and the carriage
drove away. Randolph hesitated a
moment, and then left the stage, go
ing to his box.
"What was it?" said the lady.
"Carlotta had fainted," was the re
ply. "Julia, I am wretched, I do not
know what to do."
"I will tell you. Put me in a car
riage and send me home, like ai3'
baggage, and then be off and set mut
ters right. I do not wonder at your
infatuation. You nia3 tell her I
said so."
"A thousand thanks, dear Julia.
But she is verv autrrv. why, I cannot
tell."
"Whv. vou siilv poose! Not to
know that. Do you suppose I have
oeen sitting Here all this time ana 00
not know that she is jealous of me?"
"Of you?"
"Vraiment, Monsieur. Wh3' not?
Does sho know who I am, and wh3' I
am hero? Have j'ou not been devo
ted to mo all the week? Nonsense.
Awaj" with 3-011 as soon as 3'ou can."
He struck his forehead with his
open palm. "I have been a fool,"
he said. Will 3-011 not go to the
carriage now? 1 thiuk it must be
read'.
"How eager 3011 are to get me off
3-our hands, Monsieur. Reallv, I
think I must claim 3'our escort homo.
I think it no more than right."
"But, Julia, ah, you are laughing
at me! Here comes Esmond. Now

box. "Will you take this trouble-

They passed down the stairwaj' to
gether. Raudolph was already in a
cab, and driving furiously toward the
lodgings of Carlotta. Instead of
knocking, he opened the door and
passed iu. Zella was brooding over a
fire, muttering to herself. She sprang
up angril3
"Wh3 do you come again?" she
said. "Do you wish to torture her
more?"
He seized her by the wrist.
"Zella, do you love your lad3?"
"Love her? I adbre the ground

kuow her? Do I not feel that she
has kept a reputation spotless as snow

the kindest heart that ever throbbed?
Then ask me if I love her!"
"Zella, you cannot loye her half so
well as I," he said.
"You!"
"Yes, I. Something has come be

what it is. I have alway3 been as
true to her as the steel to the scab

some one?"
"She has good reason."
N "Is it of the lad3 who was with me
to-night at the opera?" he said.
"Yes. Why do you ask ?'
"Because I can prove that she has

"Will 3ou swear this
to me !" cried
Zella, eagerlj-.
"If need be, I- will do so. But let
me see her. Let me see her right,
and prove m3 undying love."
"I believe you are true," said Zella.
"Five minutes since, I could have
murdered you. Come with me. Or
no; go up3ourself."
He ran up the stairs and pushed
open the door of Carlotta's boudoir
without noise She was seated; wib
her back to the door, with some small
object glittering in her hand.
"It is over," she said. "I shall not
live to trouble him. In this, at least,
there is a remedy for every pain the
heart can feel."
She rose as she spoke, the object
she held glittered again in the lamp
light, and he saw that it was one of
those small crystal vials which are
used to hold poison. As she raised
her hand she saw him, and snatched
up a dagger from the table.
' ? back!" she cried. "Never
toacn aie again. See, ou have come
in time to see me set you free. In
this vial is that which will end a life
which can never be happ3 more."
"My darling," said he, "give me
time. Give me a moment's time.
You doubt my love, but I can oxax-
myself from every stain."
"Do not come near me. There is a
note upon the table 3'onder. It is
yours. It will tell you why I die. I
am glad you came. I curse 110 one,
not even her."
"Who?"
'The one who has mado my misery
complete?'
'Would you like to know her name,
Carlotta? Put down the poison, and
I swear to you that if I do not prove
1213'self stainless, you shall take it up
again.'
'Speak,' she said, in a voice hoarse
with emotion. 'Speak. But I will
not give up 013 safeguard.'
'You think I love the lady who was
with uie iu the box.'
'I do. And 3ou are falser than all
the depths below if you sa3' 3ou do
not.'
I do. But why should I not? She
is m only sister!'
'Raudolph !' shrieked Carlotta, 'are
3ou telling me the truth ?'
'Nothing else, as I hope to keep
3'our dear love,' he said earnesth
She dropped the dagger aud poison
and flung herself upon his breast, and
he held her thero. close upon his beat
ing heart. And never again, no mat
ter what joy and sorrow might come
to them in afteryears, could the3 for
get the complete happiness of that
moment.
'We were alono in the world, Car
lotta, my sister and I, aud she came to
New York to see the woman I loved
and meant to many. She is more
than satisfied. And 3'ou meant to
kill yourself? Do 3011 know that I
should have followed 3ou?'

something dreadful, and I thought if

They were married, that week, and
live in a villa near Florence. And
but few know that the lad- who re

stately grace, was once the gifted sin

TIIREE BRAVE MEN.
Pretty Barbara Ferros would not
many. Her mother was iu constern
ation. "WI13' are you bo stubborn,
Barbara?" she asked. "You have
plenty of lovers."
"But they do not suit me," said
Barbara, C00I3' t3ing her curls before
the mirror."
"Why not?"
"I want, when I mam, a man who
is brave equal to an' emergency. If
I give up im liberty I want to be ta
ken care of."
"Silly child ! what is the matter
with big Barne, the blaeksmith?"
"He is big, but I never learned that
he was brave."
"And 3'ou never heard he was not.
What is the matter with Earnest, tho
gunsmith?"
"He's as placid as goat's milk."
"That is no sign he is a coward.
There is little Fritz, the tanner, he is
quarrelsome enough for -ou surel3."
"He is no bigger than a bantum
cock. It is little he could do if the
house was set upon In robbers."
"It's not alwa3's strength that wins
a fight, girl. It takes brains as well
as brawn. Come now, Barbara, give
these fellows a fair trial.'-
Barbara turned her face before tho
mirror, letting down oue Javon tress
and hooking up another. "I
mother," said she at last.
That evening Earnest, the
smith, knocked at the door.
Will,
gun-
4 You sent for me, Barbara?" he
asked, going to the girl, who stood
upon the hearth, coquettish warm
ing one foot aud then the other.
"Yea, Earnest." she replied, "I've
been thinking of what you said the
other night when 3ou were here."
"Well, Barbara?"
Earnest spoke quietly,.but his dark
blue e3es flashed, and ho looked at
her intently.
"I want to test you."
"How?"
"I want to see if 3ou dare do a ver3
disagreeable thing."
"What is it?"
"There is an old coflin up stairs. It
smells of mould. They sa3' Red
mond the murderer was buried in it,
but the devil came for his bod3 and
left the coflin empt at the end of a
week, and it was finally taken from

1113' grandfather died in. and they S113
grandsire does not rest eas3 in his
grave for some reason though that I
know nothingabout. Dare 3011 make
that vour bed to-night?"
Earnest laughed. "Is that all ? I
will do that and sleep soundly. Why
prett3' one, do 3'ou think I ho,vo weak
nerves?"
"Your nerves will have a good
proof if you undertake it. Remem
ber, no one sleeps in that wing of the
house."
"I shall sleep the sounder."
"Good night then. I will send you
a lad to show you to 3our chamber.
If vou stay there until morning,"
said the imperious Barbara, with a
nod of her pretty hea.4, "I will mar
ry 3ou."
"You vow it?"
"I vow it."
Earnest turned straightway and fol
lowed the lad in waiting through
dim rooms and passages, up echoing
stairs, nloner narrow, damn ways
where rats scuttled before them, to
low chamber. The 003 looked pale
and scared, and evidently wanted to
hurry awav, but Earnest made him
stav until "he took a survey of the
room by the aid of his lamp. It was
very large and full of recesses, with
high windows iu them, which were
barred across. He remembered that
old grandsire Ferros had been crassy
several years before his death, so that
this precaution had bepu necessarj
fotbp safety Ofrhimself nnd others.
In the centre of tho room stood a cof
fin ; beside it was placed a chair. The,
room was otherwise perfectly empty.
Earnest stretched himself in the
coflin. "Be kind enough to tell Miss
Barbara that its a good fit," said he.
The boy went out and shut the doer,
leaving the gunsmith alono in the
dark.
Meanwhile Barbara was talking
with tiip blacksmith in the keeping
room. "Barney," said she, pulling her
hands away from his grasp when he
would have kissed her, "I've a test
to put you to before I give you my
answer. There is a corpse lying in
the chamber where U13' grandsire died
in the untenanted wing of the house
If you dare sit with it there all
night,
3our
manw
and let nothing drive you from
post, vou will not ask me to marry
you in vain."
"You will give me a light and a
bottle of wine, and a book to read ?"
"Nothing."
"Are these all the conditions 3011
can offer me, Barbara?"
"All. And if you get frightened
3'ou need never look me in the face."
"I'll take them, then."
So Barney was conducted to his
post by the" lad, who had been in
structed in the secret, and whose vol
untarv stare at Earnest's placid face
as it lay in the coffin, was like a
corpse." He took his seat and the boy
left him alone with the darkness, rau
and the coflin.
Soon after 3oung Fritz, the tanner,
arrived, flattered and hopeful, from
the fact that Barbara had sent for
him. "Have you changed your mind,
Barbara?" he asked.
' "No j I shall not until I know you
can do a really brave thing."
"What shall it be ? I swear I shall
satisfy you, Barbara."
"I have a proposal to make to 3011.
A J1A-Y
VOL. 16 NO. 48.
M3 plan requires skill as well as cour
age." "Tell me."
"Well, in this houae is a roan
watching a corpse. He has sworn
not to leave his post until morning.
If you can make him do it I shall be
satisfied that 3ou are as smart and as
brave as I require a husband to be."
"Why nothing is so easy !" ex
claimed Fritz. "I can scare him
awa3. Furnish mo with asheet, show
me the room, and go to jour rest Bar
bara. You will find me at the post
in the morning."
Barbara did as he required and s,aw
the tanner step blithely away at his
task. It was then nearly twelve
o'clock, and she sought her own
chamber.
I Barney vas sitting at his vigil, and
fsorarall had? been well. The night
seemed very long, for he had no
means of counting the time. At
times a thrill went through him, for
it seemed as if he could hear a low,
suppressed breathing not far away,
but be persuaded himself it was the
wind, blowing through. the crevices of
tne old house. Still it was lonely,
aud not at all cheerful.
The face in the coflin gleamed whit
er through the darkness. The rats
squeaked as though famine were up
on them and they smelled fish. The
thought made him shudder. He got
up anu walked about, but something
made a slight noise, as if somebod3
was behind him, aud he put his chair
With the back against the wait and
sat down again. He had been hard
at work all day, and iu spite of eveo
thing ho grew sleep3. Finally he
nodded aud snored. Suddenly it
seemed as if somebody had touched
him. He awoke with a start and saw
nobod3 near, though in tne centre 0
the room stood a white figure. "Curse
3'ou, get out of this!" he exclaimed
in a fright, using the very first words
that came to his tongue. The figure
held up its right arm aud SI0WI3 ap
proached him. He started to his feet.
The spectre came nearer, passing him
in the corner.
"The devil take you," cried Barney
in his extremity.
Involuutarilyhe stepped back; and
the figure advanced, coming nearer
and nearer, and extending both arms
as if to tako him iu a trhostlv em-
Lbrace. The hair started unoa Barn
ey's head, he grew desperate, and as
the gleaming arms would have touch
ed him ha fell upon the ghost like a
whirlwind, tearing off the sheet,
thumping, pounding, kicking and
beating more and more at the resist
ance he met, which told him the
truth. As the reader knows. Barney was
big and Fritz was little, and while
pummeling the little tanner unmer
cifullv Fritz was tr3'ing to lunge at
Barne3's stomach to take the wind
out of him, both plunging and kick
ing lle har&es, they were petrified, to
hear a voice cry, "Take ouo of your
size, Big Barney. "
Looking around, the3 saw the corps
sitting up in the coflin. This was too
much. They released each other and
sprang for the door. The3 never
knew how the3T got out, but thoy ran
home panting like stags.
It was ISui'bura herself who came
and opened the door on Earnest the
yext morning,
"It's very earl3; one more nap,"
said he turning over in his coflin.
So she married him ; and though
she sent Fritz and Barne3 invitations
to the wedding, they did not appear.
If the3' discovered the trick the3' kept
the knowledge to themselves, and
never willing' faced Barbara's laugh
ing eyes again.
METEORS.
Aerolites, meteors, and falling stars,
all seem to have a common origin.
They are produced b3 small bodies
planets in miniature which are re
volving, like our earth, about the sun.
Their orbits intersect that of the earth,
and if, at aii3 time, they reach the
point of crossing exactly with the
earth, there isacollision. Their mass
is iro small that the earth is not jarred
an3 more than is a railwuy train b3 a
pebble thrown against it. These
small bodies may come near the earth
and be drawn to its surface b3 the
power of attraction ; or, the3' 111113
simply sweep through the higher re
gions of the atmosphere, and there
escape its grasp ; or linully , they 10113-,
under certain conditions, be compell
ed to revolve many times around the
earth as satellites. Indeed, a French
astronomer estimates that there is
one now circling about the earth at a
distance of 5,000 miles. This corn-
s, I panion of our moon
a three hours and twe
has a period of
enty minutes. The
average velocity of meteoric bodies-
or bolides, as they are frequently call
ed is thirty-six miles per second
much greater than that of Mercury
itself. As they sweep through the
air, the friction partially arrests their
motion and converts it into heat and
light. The body thus becomes visi
ble to us. Its size and direction determine.-
itd appearance. . If, very
amally it is consumed intlie upper xe
gions..and leaves the luminous trail
of a shooting star. If qf very large
size, it may sweep along at 3 high el
evation, or plunge directly toward the
ground. Becoming highU heated in
its course, it sheds a vivid light, while
unequally expanding, it explodes,
throwing ofl" large fragments1, which
fall to the earth as aerolites, or con
tinue their separate course as meteors.
The cinders of the portion consumed
rain down on us as fine meteoric dust.

THE HISTORY OF THE KEPUDLI-,
CAS i'AllTV.
from 3. L. Woodford's spvcvu in Connecticut.!
The histori of the Republican par-i
ty, as I said" before, is literally the
history of the last twelve years. It
has been the Republican party which
saved the country. It has been the.
Republican party that reconstructed
the South. It has been tho Republi
can partj that has announced, its in
tention of paving off the debt. But
after all, what o" this? Tho Demo
crats have acknowledged that we aro
right, for they have givon up their
principles have adopted ours, and,
have nominated the publisher of what
was once the greatest Republican pa
perin the county for their candidate
It is a mistake to suppose that they
were ever opposed to us. The fact ifa
that they have been behind us all the
time, and out of breath trying to,
catch up with us. After re-enacting
the Missouri Compromise in 1850, the.
Democratic part3- met in couyention
at Baltimore in 1S52, and pledged
themselves to accept the legislation of
1S50 as a final Ity, and never to reopen
the question. In 1854 they tore tha
whole thing up in tho Kansas and
Nebraska bill, and admitted slavery
there because it was Federal territor.
Let me suggest that if the- were so.
false to their Baltimore platform of
1852, the3 ma3 be just as false to thelc
Baltimore platfortn of 1872. Upon,
the question of slavery in the Terri
tories in lbod they beat us, until tha
question came up again in 18'JO. Then
the3 said the South had a right to se
cede.. In 1865 the3 found out that tha
South had no right to secede, and that
we were right in flogging them back
if we could. But then the3 said wa
had tried and had failed. Next j'ear,
however they found out that they
were wrong again. From year tq
3 ear these gentlemen have been con
verted b3 fragments, until to-day
they stand thorough penitent, con
fessing that they were wrong through
out, aud taking a Republican forthvir
leader. The fact Is the3 have con
stantly been moving into Republican
cam pii, but always four years behind.,
and in 187(5 nothing will remain foe"
them but to nominate General G.rant
for President.

Too Thin fob Gasmen. It has
been ascertained that the fumes of tho
purifying rooms of gas works, will
cure the whoop.ng cough. To test it,
a lady took two of her children there.
The superintendent of the works very
kindly'waited upon her to the rooma.
After a few moments he noticed a
black streak along the forehead, near
the hair, but supposing she ha4 made
it b some crook from her fingers,
thought nothing mqre about it, and
left the parties to inhale the vapors.
When read3 to depart, he suggested
to the Iad3 that before she went bap.W
to the city she had better look iu a
mirror, which she did, and was not a
littlo surprised to find her face as
black as charcoal, from tho hair
around to the ears, and ' under tho
chin. After much scrubbing with
soap and water, she succeeded in ma-;
king herself white. She inquired
anxiou-13 of the superintendent, who
is a family man, and knows how it in
himself, what could pos3ibl3 havu;
caused it. He ver3 politely intimated!
that it might be something she put
oi: her In-fore she came there, which
she indignantly denied she didn't

A 3ouug gentleman was pla3'ing at
hay-niuking with a rural Maud Mul
ler, aud rather liked it until a sw'artr.
of yellow jackets crawled up his nan
keen trousers.. Maud laughed hearti
ly at the Irish jig he danced, until
she got "spme of it in her'n."
