And in the silent uplands of the park, Creeps the soft sighing of the rising breeze ; It does but echo to my wearv sigh, "We ought to be together, you and 1."

He had been the terror of meek companions, the aversion of order-loving domin ies, the triumphant outwitter, on more than one occasion, of even that great man, the proctor. But these halcyon days were past. Any particular exuberance of spir its, in Bernard s present position, would have been as phenomenal and incongruous with his surround ings as the presence of English hedge-blossoms in hastern deserts. He was chained to the oar of daily toil as tightly and as Hopelessly as any galiey-slave. The sturdy sym metry of his figure, the humorous cast of bis frank, open countenance, tbe twinkle ot his light-blue eyes. were all that outwardly remained of the idiosyncrasies that had made him the idol of his comrades in class and on college walk. The pressure of adverse circumstances had put an iron curb upon his vi vacity, if it had not altogether crush- edit He had looked forward to reading for the bar, with the prospect, if he displayed abilit', of a capital start in his chosen profession bv reason of his father's position and influ ence. Instead ot this, liernard liooK er found himself at the age of two-and-twenty, merely an insignificant unit in the already overcrowded rank3 of professional quill drivers. His father had become the dupe of an unprincipled business partner and had lost everything. Even Ed win Hooker s hitherto fair fame had suffered aspersion, for it had been hard to p3rsuade the great, careless world that the villainy, which had made the trading firm of Hooker & Glenning a by word in the city, was the work of Archer Glenning alone. Yet it was so, and the criminal trial which followed the crash told a tale of forged signatures and stolen se curities which set the elder and vic timized partner free, and would cer tainly have relegated the junior to the keeping of prison wardens for a loug term of years, had he remained to face the storm. He had fled, and carried with him Edwin Hooker's fortune. lnusitcame about that trie son was earning his daily bread in the Fembury branch bank of Kenworth t& Co. That he was Ideated in the country, with open skies above him and pleasant fields around him, was the one mitigating circumstance of his hard and dreary lot. In other respects even the ayerage London bank-clerk was better off. Mr. Hol- lia, Messrs. Kenworth's Fembury manager, was an irascible little man, who believed as firmly as an Egyptian task-master, in getting the very utmost in the way ol enort out of his subordinates. The bank hours might nominally be from i) to o, but he had a trick of piling on extras, which materially lengthened them. It would be, These letters cannot be left, Mr. Styles," or " This ledger requires attention, Mr. Hooker." To have refused, or even expostulated, was to court instant dismissal, for Mr. Hollis was as passionate as he was haughty, and knew himself to be invested with plenary power within the bank precincts. There was no resource but to obey. it was a Dngnt jiay morning, fragrant in the fembury lanes with the. scent of early wild flowers, and vocal with the melody of birds. It was market day in the little country town, and tbe clink of gold in con sequence frequently resounded on the bank counter. As a rule Ber nard Hooker paid little or no atten tion to tbe fitful procession of clients that passed the door on the right He was not cashier, and the burden ofhis own duties was sufficient for his oftentimes weary shoulders. But as the surly office clock announced the quarter before the luncheon in terval, tbe sound of a voice he sure ly knew mingled with its dnll bass. An instinctive tremor ran through every fibre of the young man's body. He looked sharply up. What be saw for the moment puz zled him, and seemed to refute the evidence of his ears. The voice was emphatically that ot Archer uienmng; the outward presentment of the speaker was that of an absolute stranger. But a closer scrutiny and a recollection of the fact that tbe accomplished swindler was of necessity a fugitive, explain ed the pbenamenon. Edwin Hook er s absconding partner was of a troth there in the flesh before Ber nard's eyes, but so cunningly dis guised that the cleverest Scotland Yard detective might have been par doned for a blunder. The shapely mustache and heavy beard had both vanished ; tbe light auburn locks of the Hue and Cry " description were now raven black ; the very eye brows had discarded nature and applied for protection to the ESTABLISHED 1827. SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 5, artist in both flesh and hair tinting. In carriage and in attire the revo lution was equally striking and equally complete. The stately, up right gait of the Lombard street mer chant was exchanged for a stooping shamble that had never been notic ed in the gait of the other. This might or might not lead to a dis covery. In the solitude of his own apart ments that evening Bernard Hooker searched out the name of Ickford on a Bradshaw's map. He found it to be that of a small town in the north of England. ; " Whatever the consequence, IU run down there and make inquiries. If I win, the game will be worth the candle," he soliloquized. And the next day a note in the bank letter box accounted though hardly satisfactorily to the critical judgment of Mr. Hollis for the sec ond clerk s absence. " Will you be good enough to cash this check, please ?" The caeh was shoveled out on the gleaming mahogany, and an instant later had found a new resting place in the stranger s puree, lie turned and for a second caught the half- stupefied glance of the young clerk. The effect was magical a scared, terror-stricken expression leaped into the furtive, shifty eyes, and every vestige of color forsook the sallow cheeks. Bernard Hooker was recognized in his turn. With the sharp click of the clos ing door, Bernard s sense returned to him. Here, when least expected, was the opportunity of recovering lost hopes, the rumor that the scoundrel had sailed for South America was plainly false. He was still within reach of British justice and. if captured, might be compel! ed to disgorge his plunder, or at least such portion of it as was yet un squandered. He must be followed tracked, and that instantly 1 The fatuity that had brought him on gome casual errand to Fembury and to Messrs. Kensworth's bank must be translated, by immediate enter prise, into a manifestation of that femeai3 waich, bv the logic of the story-books, treads inevitably on the heels of wrong. A decision was reached in far less time than it takes to recount the fact. Bernard seized his hat, and with a muttered incoherent apology pushed his way past his scandalized superior, and literally ran down the stone steps into the street 4 hat is the meaning" Is the fellow mad?" gasped Mr. Hollis, a porteatious frown gathering upon his brow. It was certainly mysteri ous behavior, and the fellow clerk to whom this query was piesumably addressed, was taken nearly as much aback as his chief. He had no ex planation to offer. Careless of the consternation which his abrupt proceedings had occasioned, Bernard's steps were to ward the station. This was clearly the aim of the pursued. lo be thirty seconds too late is, under all circumstances, abundantly annoying, l bis was Bernard Hook er's lot or. the present occasion. He reached the platform of the Fembury station just in time to see the up train steam into the yawning gulf of the north tunnel, and to know that in one of that train's compart ments sat, in regained security, his fathers foe, and his own. There was nothing to do but to confess failure, and to return, after dining, to the drudgery of the bank desk. He did not even know the aliases of the rogue, and, after all,his evidence of identity, might fail to convince another. It would be useless to ap petl to the local police force for these reasons. "An impudent and madcap freak, Mr. Hooker, whatever may be your excuse," growled Mr. Hollis. "If you want to leave the office in a hurry again to overtake anybody anybody, sir! be good enough to ask leave." Bernard was compelled to promise that he would. For the rest of the afternoon he went on hie way with the tedious columns of figures in a state of mental agitation and chag rin unparalleled since the days on which he had learned that his par ent's bankruptcy was unavoida ble. "Those scraps of paper, Mr. Styles, had better ornament the waste-basket than the floor." The managtr s accents were harsh and querulous ; his temper seemed to have been soured for the day, by Bernard Hooker's escapade. " I have not dropped them, sir," replied the inculpable junior, resent ing as much as he dared the implied charge of untidiness. "One fell from your own desk, and the other was left behind by the gentleman whom Mr. Hooker tried to catch." "Bernard's ears tingled anew. What il the last mentioned frag ment should bear upon its surface some clew to the villain's assumed name or whereabouts ! By easy strat egy he gained possession of tbe slip, and found it to be half an envelope, with the letters "Joyn "on one eide, and the postmark " Ickford " on the other. At Ickford the trail was unmis takably struck. Skillful investiga tion showed that a Mr. Joynson whose outward man appeared to tal ly precisely with Bernard's sketch description bad been staying at the chief hotel for several weeks. .and had posed as an individual of position and wealth. Alas ! it show ed also that he had decamped with both bag and baggage a few hours before Bernard's arrival. " Foiled a second time !" moaned that young man, in bitterness of spirit " The scamp has smelt dan ger, and probably will make for South America or some other safe hiding place in earnest now." With hopes sinking rapidly be low zero again, Bernard took ticket for London. He would put a pro fessional detective on the track and then return to Fembury. If Mr. Hollis dismissed him for his pains, he must just recommence his weary fight with fortune in some other arena. Why, Bernard I This an agreeable surprise, indeed ! was wondering not above a day or two ago what had become of my ancient ally. So many pranks as we've been guilty of together ! Ha, ba I" The speaker was Frank Allerton, liernard s dearest college chum, and a young northern squire, whose sis ter Amy but this was a romantic dream which had faded into an ab surdity in the thick gloom of envi roning disaster. Why recall it? The new comer had joined the train at Cotchley Junction, and, like Bernard, was bound for the metrop olis. As the friends were alone in the compartment, Bernard's story was soon told. " And you are hunting the rascal down?" " I have attempted it, and he has beaten me." "What sort of a fellow is he in personal appearance, I mean?" For the "fourth or fifth time Ber nard ran glibly over the salient char acteristics of that figure which fate, rather than any conscious mental effort, had photographed so minute ly upon his memory. " It is he exactly !" cried Frank Allerton, with an almost ludicrous combination of amazement, disgust and wrath mirrorized upon his countenance. ' Why, the fellow has been living at Beckham, within a stone's throw of our own manor house for eight or ten months. Mr. Joynson " "Yes, that is the name he is using." "He is reputed in the village to be worth half a million of money, more or less. He id the resource of all the amateur mendicants in the district, and figuring as a well-to-do bachelor, he has even dared to make certain proposals for my sister's hand. Amy refused his hand solely cn the ground of disparity of years. Not solely on that ground, Ber nard took leave to hope, despite of bis mends dogmatism. Hut he had no word to answer at the mo ment. And there was excuoe for hia temporary bewilderment in the presence of so strange and unlook- ed for a revelation. In the hour of his darkest despair, the fair promise of contingent victory had come. W hat a reckless and daring hyp ocrite the man must be! h rank continued. "I'll admit I never liked him from the firt, but I had no idea of such a sword of Damocles being suspended over hia head. Amy has had a lucky escape, and she will think so." At last Bernard regained his power ot utterance. 1 11 go on to London, now, he said, " apply for a warrant, and ac quaint my lather with the facts, and then, in company with a police officer, teek out Mr. Joynson at his home. v The programme was fulfilled, and success crowned the enterprise. A few weeks later commercial circles were discussing everywhere a new eatie ee'.eore, and the strange change of events as unfolded in the speech of counsel for the prose cution by which not only had a notorious swindler been immeshed in the net of the law, but stolen bonds had found their way back into the coffers of their rightful owners. But not the least happy result to Bernard Hooker was that he learn ed from Amy Allerton's own sweet lips that at least one reason beyond that of age had existed for her re fusal of Archer Glenning's suit She had already bestowed her heart upon her brother s friend. Her hand soon followed. And now Bernard Hooker a rising and popular barrister sometimes tells his wife with a smile that on a cer tain memorable May dav he chased a fortune in two senses. Forgot the Main Feature. The other day while Major Dod ridge was sitting in hisdoorvardthe gate opened and a strange-looking man hastily approached. " Is this Major Dodndge? 7 " Yes, sir." " Of the Eighth Arkansaw during the war?" " Yes," beginning to look with in terest at the stranger. Don t you remember me, Ma jor? .o, 1 can t place you. "Take a look at me," shoving back his hat "Don't remember that I ever saw you before." 1 am Hank rarsons ! exclaim ed the man, bracing bimselt as though he expected the major to rush into his arms. "Don't recall the name," said the major. " Is it possible ? I did not think you would ever lorget me. 1 11 re fresh your memory. At Shilob, while the battle was raging in mur derous fury, I found you lying on the field shot through both legs. I took you on my back and carried you to a spring in the shade. Now don't you recollect me?" " Let me see," mused the major. "I remember having been wounded ; but I caa't recall the fact, if it be a fact, of any one taking me to a spring." " This is, indeed, strange," said the disappointed man. "I looked forward to meeting you with such anticipations of a warm greeting. Well, well ; the world has, indeed reached its ungrateful age. The oc currence is as fresh to my mind as though it had taken place yesterday. I gave you a drink of whisky and-" " What ! " exclaimed the major springing to his feet "Gave me a drink of whisky ! Oh, yes, I re member now," seizing the man's hand. "Ob, IU never forget that drink !

A wedding is not considered quite the solemn event it should be unless attended by some of "do white folks I was not a little surprised at the entrance of one of my neighbors, not long ago, to invite me to a wed ding, r . : "But" I said, "thev did not" ask me."'.-, r- ; " r-' "That i3 always left with us," said my neighbor. "The more that come the more impressive the occasion. All you have to do is to carry a cake made for the bride, and if you think best some inexpensive present. That, however, they don't look for, but the cake they do. Put on all the finery you have, for the more conspicuous you make your appar el the more you honor them," So I arrayed myself in my best bib and tuck, with an Indian neck lace of shell and bracelets to match which bad hung in my cabinet for months. My large chocolate cake was ready and loked very appeti - zing. Jlr. &. came round witn the wagon, which I stowed away a fold ing clothes-horse destined for the bride. The cabin had been un partitioned if I may use the word.and where four rooms had been there was but one. It was a pretty sight, after a drive of five miles, to see the little homestead surrounded by bush fires north, east and west, which a dozen little negroes kept supplied with fu el. A wilder scene I never came upon The brilliant flames set off the log cabin, all folded in with honeysuckle vines ; the dusky ush er, busy in looking alter the car riages of the guests, all the mea in white jackets, the inside of the cabin all one red glow, an immense fire blazing on the hearth, showing the buxom figures of the women, every one dressed in the brightest ' colon, with huge boquets in their belts and white flowers in their hair, the long tables, covered with snowy ' linen, made up in all a tout ensemble that was like a picture from another coun try. ; We were ushered in with great ceremony by Augustus Whillleman and instantly surrounded by the guests in ebony, who quickly and deftly relieved u3of our outer wraps. Then we were stationed at the head of the table, the children called in and the ceremony proceeded. The minister was as black ' as polished ebony, the bridegroom was a good looking fellow of twenty-five and the bride a really pretty girl of sixteen. One of the colored people whisper ed to me that sister Felicia had gone done a good thing for herself that "Brudder" Budge had a farm of twenty acrea and a bright nice cabin to put her in, adding, "An' he'll tote her car'flly down de vale!" to all of which I listened with a serious coun tenance. Si.pper being ready we were in stalled at the head of the table, while the bridal party waited till we partook of the viands, a proceeding which I confess made me feel rather foolish, though the rest of the white company took it as a matter ot course. After we had finished, the others fell to, and it was amusement enough, to watch the proceedings from the feast to the blessing, and from the blessing to the dance. Speeches of congratulation and toast were made, some of the latter odd enough, and drunk with lemonade, one of which was as follows : "I perceive dat dis lemonade is a mixter ob sweet and sour. De sweet am berry sweet and de sour am berry sour. Dat 'minds me dat life is made up of de sweet and sour vid a spice of bitter in it I hopes chiUen, you'll git 'em so well mixed dat it'll seem eweet all through and de bitter'll on'y be a sort o'medicine to make you all right if you ebber do go wrong." Then came the scraping of fiddles, but as they were proposing to darce we drove away in the halo of bla zing fires to the sound of the merry laugh. Skirts and Drapery. Skirts without flounces, Harper Bazar tells us, will be u.ed for heavy fabrics and for those of stiflly twisted threads, such as Cheviots, mohairs, etc. These skirts will continue to be made over a false or foundation skirt of lighter goods, such as alpaca or lining silk. and the outside material will be! placed smoothly upon these, with' the lower edge drooping on a nar-fthe row pleating at the loot. 1 here is a tendency :o widen all dress skirts by putting full breadths in the back, and making straighter front and side breadths, fashioning them much broader at the top than the closely gored breadths formerly used. The full effect however, is more general ly given by the drapery, which must now be very high, or else very low in front, and which must be worn over a cushion bustle of hair or pleatings or crinoline arranged to support the back. Bias folds and tucks will continue in favor in pref erence to flounces for wool skirts. Three bias lapping folds, each four inches wide when completed, make a pretty border for the foot of the skirt, and may be of the dress goods, or of velvet, or satin, or other fabric used in combination in other parts of the dress.' The braided borders, panels, and pleated skirts are not limited to wool dresses, but are seen also on silks and satins, where the richest passementeries and bands of velvet take the place of braids. Wide knit pleats from four to six inches broad are separated by a clus ter of two or three narrower pleats ; these' may extend all around the skirt, but are more oftea confined to the fren and sides. Sometimes pleats are reversed to meet on the sides, and two rows of buttons are placed down each side. The four successive panels now used for cov- . a . ering the lront and side breadths are neat and stylish for flannel, Cheviot or cloth dresses, and may be bordered with rows of braid, or with the interlinked rings of braid that may be had in passementeries that closely represents braiding done by hand ; a border for tbe foot of the skirt is now also made of very large lapping rings of braid or of galloon, and a narrower border to match trims the apron drapery.

A prominent Philadelphia minis ter was ask! by a reporter wheth er he often had widows come a stc ond time to have the nuptial knot tied. " I do not think I could strike an average for you, if that w what you want," he replied ; but widows do come very frequently to be re-married. And why not? The second marriages of widows are rarely un happy ones. " Nearly thirty years ago I mar ried a very young couple in this city. The husband, whom 1 will call Mr. Tomson. was not more than twenty one, and the wife was not more than eighteen. They were very fond of each other. After three years of happy married life, Mr. Tomson was taken sick with inflammation of the lungs and died, leaving his widow with a little daughter in fairly good circumstances. She was quite in consolable at first ; but after a time became reconciled, and devoted all her time to the bringing up of her little girl, who grew into the veriest little fairy. She was the apple of her mother's eye and the pet of ev- erybody. and very naturally became rather self-willed. "When she was siiteen years old, ayoung Englishman came to this city to live. He made the acquaint ance of Mrs. Tomson, and fell in love with Nellie. She had many other lovers, but she appeared to prefer. young Edwards at least she flirted more wi'.h him than any one else. He was a memrber of my church. Nellie would cot engage herself to him. She said she liked her freedom too well, and didn't want to be tied down to propriety just yet At last Edwards went to the West, and did well as a cattle raiser in Colorado. "He was away two years, and came back still thinking of Nellie, who was still unmarried. He asked her again to be his wife. She took his presents and helped him to spend his money, but was not only as ob durate as evei, but was very much faster and more of a flirt than before. Mrs. Tomson, who was at this time thirty-six years old; bad developed into a charming and beautiful ma tron. She took pity on the young man, whose age wa about eight and twenty, and appealed to Nellie in his behalf. Then he took her into his confidence, and she was very kind lo him. Eventually, I am sorry to 6ay, Nellie disappeared. Edwards spent hundreds of dollars hunting for her but without success. He had taken up his abode in Phil adelphia, at Mrs. Tomson's house, and hi.-t heart was nearly broken at the loss ot Nellie and the terrible mystery which hung around her disapne ir.mce. it wus about six months alter her elopement that one morning, while I was sitting in my study pre paring my eermon far the next Sun day, Edwards carre rushing in upon me with a telegram in bis hand. He was in a state of the most intense excitement, as white as a sheet, and hardly able to speak. I took the telegram. It was from Jiellie, and dated from an hospital in the city. It ran thus: " lI am dying, Willie. Won't you comtome?' "We went together to see her. Well, we brought her home, and she died, but not before she had seen something happen which I think she must have anticipated long be fore. "That was nothing less than the marriage of Edwards and her moth er. I married them myself, in her sick room. She told me before she knew her mother had loved him from the first, and she believed that he had only fancied that he loved the daughter, because he couldn't imagine that he was in love with her mother. They made a 7ery happy mateh, and are new living on the ranch in Colorado. They have three lovely children, are very rich, and U3uallv snend their summers in Europe." rare or tsio aaltl Oaes. Parents are often impatient with children because they do not under stand matters quickly or do not comprehend some hint or sign given at a special moment A lady once complained of her little girl who hap pened to be especially stupid at the wrong moment An old gentleman rebuked her, saying, "If you had learned as much in every two years of your life as she has you would be a wise woman by thi3 time." That remark set her to thinking, aad she never complained afterward because her child was not able to cemprehend as she did. The child was probably as smart as it3 mother was at that age, and nothing more could be required. It was a word fitly spoken and it bore good fruit In one thing the writer differs from many parents, that is. in attributing the troublesome tricks of children to natural depravity. They learo them from others for the mosi part, and once acquired they are not readily overcome. Pareats are gen eraly the teachers, unconsciously perhaps, but none the less are re sponsible for what follows. For in stance, many children want a light in the room to sleep by, and per haps a watcher to sit by them until they have fallen asleep. Parents sometimes complain that this is such a care and trouble, but say: "My child won't go to sleep alone, or in the dark'" Whose fault is that? Who taught the child that a light could be kept burning while it was going to sleep, or that some b:ly would sit by its bedside? An infant would never imagine it un assisted. The first time it was done taught the child that it was possible, and who can blame it for desiring a repetition of what was agreeable. A chiid that was never rocked to sleep knows nothing about that troublesome process. Put your child to bed and let it lie there in a natural and quiet manner until it falls asleep. A child's education in oledieace should begin at an early age, but in a most gentle way: little by little as events eccur. Do not crowd tbe young mind by telling what it should net do. Simply tell it what it should do. Do not teach it evil by letting it know that such a thing exists. A babe's mind cannot comprehend two ideas at once; give it the right idea, and say nothing about the wrong one. Fiendish Cruelty to a Woman. Providence, R.
