It Lad been snowing heavily for sev eral hours, and a few feathery flakes were still falling when the up train steamed into D- station at 10 o'clock. C)f the half dozen pusscngera who alighted, all savo one hurried away to their respective destinations. eager to gain shelter. This one looked about him as though undecided which course to take. At length, buttoning his great coat more closely about him, and pnllifig his cap down until between the cap and collar only a pair of merry blue oyes and a good natured nose wero visible, he strode along the platform in an op posite direction from that taken by the up-town passengers. "A bad night, Danel" he called as he passed the conductor. "Not the one I vrould choose for meeting the through express up in the cut.5 answered that oilicial. uBut she is due in twenty minutes, and we must be Off. All abroad!" he shouted, wav ing tho tignal to move on. ."Good night, Gene!"' and swinging himself on board the already moving train, he was soon lost to view as the engine went puffing and whirling away in the dark ness. The young man waited until the last fiery spark had dissappeared round the dLtant curve, then, lighting a cigar, started again on iris way. Taking a street which led away from the town, he soon found himself in the open coun try. Not until then did he realize his error in not hiring a conveyance. "Five miles of this sort of thing will consume most of the night," he thought. "Well, I'm in for it now, as it is .too late to tnrn back, but morning may find mo standing stark and stiffin some of these drifts.a terrible warning to others not to attempt a pedestriau feat at miduight, with the mercury down out of sight." The wind was blowing a gale, and the moon, breakiug through the clouds, lit up the long stretch of lonely road, the broad, desolate fields, and lo .v line of dark woodland with a ghostly light. "Not many changes since I last trav eled this road !" mused the lonely e- i ucstram in a half melancholy train of thought He saw 13 tancY- tlie lad-ol ten years before, fleeinc from home and all he held most dear in a fit of boyish anger. Eugene Hector had. been a high spirited, biR-hearted, generous hoy, the ring leader in all the youth fnl escapades, full of fun, fond of a joke, aud alto gether, just the one to get into mischief. His father.after helping hhu out of nu merous scrapes intojwhich his fun-loving nature had led him, at length lost patience and refused him aid in the last and worst dile ma of all. Stung by the reproaches heaped upon him, and by a sense of shame quite unbearable, j ne nail gone out into tne world to light his own battles. With the firm resolve to make a man of him&elf yet, he had sought and obtained employment, aud at the time we make his acquaintance he is prosperous nnd happj. llis father had long since forgiven him and urged his return, bnt Eugene i had grown to love tho busy, bustling life he had led, and could not be in duced to leave it A longing to see the old home had seized him, however, and he resolved to give the old people a surprise hence this midnight journey. Arrived at the farm house, Eugene Hector paused to gaze about him at the old familiar objects ko dear to his boyhood, then, shaking oft the feeling of sadness which stole over him, he ascended the steps and rapped loudly at the door. The peremptory summons brought his father, demauding lr. was wauted at that hour. "It is I, Eugene! D- yon know me. father?" and f-iething very like a sob choj his utterance as he grasped ' - old man's hand jvviing the hall, Eugene passed on -o the sitting room, while his father. lamp in hand, went to tell hi3 wife the joyful news, and assure her that it was not burglars, bnt their own dear 'Gene come home again. The good lady, laughing and crying together, rushed into her son's arms, giving him such a welcome as only a mother can. Having kissed him " for the hundredth time, sho bethought her of his fatigue, and inquired if he were hungry. "Half famished, mother!" Have been fasting for a -week in anticipation of the good things stored away in your pantry!" he answered gaily. His mother repaiied to the kitchen, carrying both the lamp and her hus band as protection against that bug-bcjir of her life, burglars, in case auy .should be hidden there. Left alono in the fire-lit room, Eugene leaned back, in the big arm chair with a sigh of con teat, thinking how good it was to be at home again, aud enjoying the genial warmth as only a man or a cat can. Suddenly a new thought seemed to strike him, aud he bounded to his foot, exclaiming, "I wonder all this rumpns has not wakened Charley! Surely it was enough to rouse the seven sleep ers." , . Crossing the room to a door which stood ajar, he pushed it wide open and stepped within. , IJy the dim light be discerned a form upon the bed, onearm thrown carelessly above the head. He sleeps well, .as of old!" he thonght. then, advancing to the side of the bed, with a cry of "Char ley, old man, wake up!" he seized the pitcher from the stand, and dashed the contents full in the upturned face. A smothered sound, and then a shriek that never came from Charley's lips re sounded throuch the house, causine Engene to beat a hastv retreat. . and briuging the old people from the kitchen. l.nl- T 4 trtrT. -a .a . .1 net " uinii crjiutj, -wnais tne matter r m one breath, his mother being fully con viuccil that it was "burglars."

"Why did you pet led me liiat Charley .wasTiot. there? w.-i-lojgStKI-' And now Pre half killed just like aay confounded somebody; luck!" he grumbled. His mother went to the aid of the half drowned occupant of the bed room feeling very uncomfortable indeed; "Just s a.felloj7 ge'ts home and thinks enjoy himself, to make such a noodle himself! Bnt how was I tokndw lnarley had gone away, or that mother 7 was entertaining .a guest? I wonder who she is! I've a mind to go back to the city by the first train I" These and other equally disturbing thoughts ran through his mind until he fell asleep. Eugene decended to breakfast next morning half hoping the lady was too ill, or too much put out) to ap pear at the table. 'He was doomed to disappointment however, for when he plunged into the dining-room much as one plunges into a cold bath; he be held a beautiful girl seated beside his mother. "Myrtie, allow me to present my son Eugene. My friend, Miss Bell, Eugene, and thank your stars she was not killed outright by yoar rudeness!" Eugene blnshed, stammered, and only acknowledged the introduction" by a very stiff bow. "Not quite so anxious to make her ac quaintance as you were last night, eh?" laughed his .father. This remark tended in no wise to allay his embar rassment, and a fleeting glimpse of a pair of beseeching eyes, brimming ovef with tears, completed his discojntiture. Words of apology rose to Eugene's lips, but his tongue refused to titter them.' "What a perfect heathen she must think me!" he kept saying to him self, but to her he addressed not even a commonplace remark. Ordinarily-he wonld have given little thought to his mother's guest but his unlucky blunder kept her in hi3 mind constantly. His mother eluded him for his coldness toward the young lady, to which he replied impatiently that he hated girls. The third day of his return Mr. aud Mrs. Hector received a hasty summons to the sick bed of a btother. Their departure left Eugene Heatou and Miss Myrtiu Boll sole occupants of tho house. ni stny in my room and take my meals in the pantry;" declared Eugene when his mother begged him to be civil to Miss Boll. She has kindly offered to keep house in my absence, so do be sensible and not give her further trouble," begged his mother. "I'll try," promised he, inwardly resolving to make all possibly haste back to the city. There was no traiu till next morning, so the young man was forced to spend the evening in solitude, as Miss Bell did not appear. Somehow the breakfast table looked very cosy and inviting, laid for two, and presided over by this lovely girl. Myrtie had donned one of his mothers big aprons, and flitted from kitchen to dining-room in so natural and home-like a manner that Eugene, watching her, began to experience an entirely new feeling toward her. "He did full justice to the meal, but in silence. When it was over he asked if he could be of any assistance to her in her new role. She thanked him, bnt replied in the nega tive, whereupon the whimsical notion seized him of helping her willy nilly. Finding the fellow to the big apron which she wore, he tied it about his waist, laid aside his cuffs, rolled up his sleeves and set to work as soberly as though washing dishes was his daily vocation. Mvi tie looked on in amazement: but gradually a roguish light dawned in her eyes as she watched him. At length, when he put the dish-towel round his neck, "to have it handy," she could restrain her mirth no longer, and burst into a merry peal of laughter at the comical figure he cut. a ue lauguier was contagious, ana so effectually melted the ice bfitwonn fhom - "iiat whell MfSaicctftrrciHrfcgd.-sO'ire hours later, she found them on the be3t j possible terms, greatly to her relief. lie confided to that good dame next day that he had decided to stay a month longer, much to her gratification. At the end of that time he discovered that traveling alone is not only decid edly unpleasant, but positively danger ous for an unprotected female, so he accompanied Miss "Bell home. Humor sa's there is to be a wedding at the Bell mansion in the near future, as a result of Eugene's ridiculous mis take. It Failed. Two humorous assistant examiners in the Patent Office recently played what they considered an excellent practical joko on their chief, the principal exam iner, who was noted for his temperance principles, says a Washington a Washington corres pondent in the New York Tribune, They filled a wine bottle with water colored with red ink and had the top encased in tin foil and then inserted the bottle in the usual straw case that wine bottles are transported in. It had a very impressive appearance and it seemed to be a bottle of rare wine. The humorists presented it to their chief as a slight token of their esteem, but in stead of kindly but firmly refusing to accept it, the chief, to their unbounded surprise, expressed the greatest deliirhr,. and, after thanking them war473antrl that it u-s)ssvrTiIe tlirtjir lie wauted. as .taTMlHtor U'lmlivml awo frnm lmvi , .. - .v, K"J "uui ucic, was qnite sick and he had been intend- mg to send her a bottle of wine. He said that he wonld send this bottle to her at once, as he knew that it must be a prime article. The two assistants re tired from their chief much dismayed at this unexpected turn, and after consul tation together they prevailed upon a friend to go to the chief and gently break to him the news of tho true char acter of his present. This was done, and tho chief procured another bottlo to send to his sick sister. There is a marked air of reserve and formality pervading the examiner's room just now. Three Pretty Faces Tarned Scarlet. Three sweet-looking girls got on an electric car recentlybonnd for West Peachtreo street. They sat and giggled pleasantly until the "conductor came through the car to collect the fares. Theu with equal promptness each of the girls reached for her purse, and the following conversation ensued: All three, at once Oh, let me pay. May Xo, it's my tnrn; I insist on paymg. Clara Girls, it's reallv mv turn to payand I want to do it. Ftanie I proposed riding home, so 1 think I ought to pay. Then the three pur.-es were simulta neously opened and the three pretty face3 grew scarlet Two cents and a postage stunip was the wealth of the crowd. "Without heeding the offers of finan cial aid which camo from several gen tlemen, the three girls hurried out of the car, and as it rolled away they were standing on the next corner explaining to each other how it happened that they were all broke Atlanta Constitution. , A Disgasted Lawyer.

They have led good Uvea for fourteen years. And that's my answer to the scofferst" The American Falplt. In answer to the question; uHdwdoes tne American pulpit of tuepresent'eom pare with that of earlier times? Joseph Cook, who is a shrewd observer, re marks: "The earlier American pulpit hadfewer rivals for public attention than the later. Newspapers and plat forms in the colonial era were by no means such instructors of the people as they are to-day. Tho pulpit of our time must stand on its rendered reasons. Ministers as a class have1 great social prestige, but not as great now as in the days of our fathers. It is more neces sary now than ever before that the pul pit should expect to be measured, as it certainly will be, according to the standards of its actual character and achievement in spiritual fields of ac tivity. After all, the pulpit has no ri val as a teacher of religious thought. Neither the press nor the platform an swers, as the pulpit does, the supreme question, 'What shall I do to be saved?' The power of the pulpit to-day, as it has been in every age of the world, is in meeting man's deepest spiritual wants. The modern American pulpit has a practical spirit not surpassed by that of the pulpit of an earlier period." St. Louis Republic. Precept and Practice. The Rev. Mr. Kelley, curate of a chapel in the town of Ayr, Scotland, once preached an excellent sermon from the beautiful parable of the man who fell among thieves. He was particularly severe upon the conduct of the priest who saw tho in jured man, and ministered not unto him, but passed on the opposite side, and in an animated and pathetic flow of eloquence, he exclaimed: Vhat! not even the servant of the Almighty 1 He whoso tongue was en gaged in" tho work of charity whose bosom was appointed the seat of broth erly love; whose heart the emblem of pity; whose soul the frozen serpent of disease did he refuse to stretch forth his hand and take the mantle from his shoulders to cover the nakedness of woe? If he refused, if the shepherd himself went astray, was it to be won dered that the flock followed?"' Such were the precepts of the preacher, and he "practiced what he preached." The very next day, when the river was swollen by rain a boy in a small boat, was swept overboard by the force of the current A great con course of people were assembled, but none attempted to Bave the boy, when Jlr. Kelly, who was dressed in full ca nonicals, threw himself from his cliam- JHsr window uno tne current, an- $, tne hazard of liis life brought the boy safely to shore. The Mother. There is no human love like a moth er's love. There is no human tender ness like a mother's tenderness. And there is no such time for a mother first displaying her love and tenderness to ward her child as in the child's earliest years of life. That time neglected, and no future can make good the loss to either mother or child. That time well improved, and all the years that follow it can profit by its improvement. Even God himself measures his fatherly love by a motherly standard. "As one whom his mother comforteth, so I will com fort you," he says; aud what more than this could ho say? And many a strong man who was first comforted by his mother's loving and tender words and ways, while he was a helpless child, has never lost his grateful, trusting de pendence on that mother's ministry of affection and sympathy. "When gruff old Dr. Johnson was 50 years old, he wrote to his aged mother as if ho were still her wayward but lov ing boy: "You have been the best mother, and I believe the best woman in the world. I thank you for all the indulgences to me, and beg forgiveness lucail mat umvcUiwr av. u-3uTor an that I have omited to do well." John Quincy Adams did not part with his mother until he was nearly or quite lifty years of age, yet his cry, even then, was : "O God, could she" have beeu spared yet a little longer. Without her the world feels to mo like a solitude." When President Xott, of Union Col lege, was more than ninety years old, aud had been a college president for half a century, as strength and seuse failed him in his dying hours, the mem ory of his mother's tenderness was fresh and potent; and he could be hushed to needed sleep by a gentle patting on the shoulder, and a singing to him of the old-time lullabie?, as if his mother was still sitting at his bedside in loving ministry, as she had been well-nigh a century before. The true son never grows old to a true mother. S. i. Times. A Speech with a Lead Pencil. Old "Wolf, the Cheyenne chief, made a very effective speech with a lead pen cil during a visit of Bishop Arnndel to Ashland, Mont., a year qgo. He took the pencil and drawing a straight line said : "Cheyennes straight.'' Then he drew uuother straight line and said : "Blck robo straight," meaning " the Indian had nothing to say against the Catholic missionaries . Thon a third straight line was drawn and Old Wolf said: "White House straight." By this he did not mean the Executive 'Mansion, but the little white school conducted by the Sisters of .Charity, which was known far and near among the Indians as the "White House." Next a straight line was drawn part way across tho page, and from one end he made a number of very crooked Hues, bo that the diagram looked like a cat o' nine tails. This was explained by the chief as: "Va8hington straight, but all things coming from Washington very crooked." Then a line was drawn straight part of tho way, theu crooked, then straight, and so on across th'e page. "Indian agent straight, crooked straight, crooked, straight, crooked, wa3 the laconic explanation. Me.

The penitentes, says the Las Vegas Op tic, seem to a new comer in the coantry to be a strange order of superstitious fanat ics, tbe old flagellants of the datk ages, who-have come down by some ecclesiasti cal legerdemain, landing in this corner of tbe terrestrial footstool. Their perfonn ancca are a touch of baptized barbarism clutching at the skirts of this. nineteenth century. Ihe Lornbleness or seeing them at. work flagellating themselves on Good Friday id akin in the recollec tion to the heartrending moans of the wounded and dying in a great calamity. They compose a secret organization that is fast dying out, and is not now sanctioned by the dominant chmcb, and the worst of I their doiugs are snpposed to take place in their lougeroohis. They are seen to out siders only when marching in procession; carrying each a rough wooden cross; nearly heavy enough to crush them under its weight. Their backs are usually bare, and as they stagger along as best they can, weighted down by their burdensome load in body and their sins in mind, their brethren beat them with clubs and ptick them with cati, till in many instances, there isn't an inch of the flesh that isn't torn and bleeding. Not in frequently they die from the etlects of the tetnble punishment inflicted. A dolefnl chanting, in which they specify the partic ular sins they are trying to expiate, is con tinually kept up. And yet this very class is usually composed of the rabble element of the community. Often; when they get tbrongh their penances; they go straight off nnd get drunk and rnn np another score of evil deeds done in tbe body greater than the last. Tbey seem to bold implicitly to tbe be lief that every sin committed must be paid for in Buffering and tho more pain one en dares hero tbe less be will have hereafter. These poor, deluded penitents ate not attempting any moral improvements. They are merely endeavoring to shorten their stay in purgatory, and horrid work tbey make of it. Anyone who was ever so unfortunate as to be locked into one of their lodges must admit that a feeling of uneasiness and uncertainty crept over him vrhile there. Perchance a dim light, as tbe scene may be described, made' awfully indistinct and ghastly tbe rude form of Christ on tbe cross; the men stretched out fnll length on the ground, more like corpses than living beings, and the wietrbed objects who plied the scourges on themselves nnd tbe others, making the blood spurt at every stroke, while the yells, wails and howls were indescribably terri ble. ' ' Arizona's Natural Bridge. Natural biidge, on Pine creek, in the northern part of Giln county, is one of the greatest natural curiosities iu the United States, if not surpassing, the catuial bridge of Virginia. It spans the creek at a height of about 200 feet, and tbe walls cf the canyon rise above it on either side 700 or 800 feet, and on one side form a per pendicular precipice. The bridge is of lime formation, and the inside of tbe great arch, which is some 250 feet across, is worn by the water as smooth as tbongh chiseled by tbe skillful hand of a stone mason. Tbe aroh on top is nearly, if not quite, 400 feet in width, 1,000 feet in admit the body of the man. and through which one con look down into the crystal pool of water 200 feet below. The dike which forms ihe bridge extends in a sweeping curve up the right side of the stream, nnd, together with the bridge proper, affords a surface area of abont 100 acres of fertile land, which David Gowan has converted into a fine farm. A spring issues from the right side of tbe canyon at a bight to admit of the water being easily conducted to any portion of tbe farm and tbe volume is great enough to fill a ditch four feet wide and two feet deep and to irrigate much more land than is avail able for cultivation. The climate at tbe bridge is exceedingly equable, being warmer in the summer and much milder in tbe winter than that of the surrounding country, and to this fact is ascribed the wonderful varioty of vegetable growth, numbering somu 2o0 species of trees, shrnbs, vines and plants. The vicin itv abounds in numtrons fossils and shells, and wherever moisture percolates through tbe calcareons rock beautiful stalactites are formed. Underneath the bridge are numerous, caves, sonse of which have never Lecu explored, and which are lined with these opaque cones resembling hugo icicles.
