The sUat was broiled to perfection, and the aroma trom thesUaniingooffee urn sent forth an appetizing odor. But as the young wife watched her husband's eljoynielt of the daintily coc ked viards, her face wore look of abstraction not usually seen upon it. At last Mr. Elythe noticed it; and also that she was not eating bnt mere ly toj iijg with the bit of teiast upon her plate. 'What's the matter, Letty?" he atk d, witn a look of concern. "Are yon ill?" 'So, Malcolm, I was enly thinking. Malcolm cave a long low whistle to emphasize his surprise. "Thinking! iuy bright chatty little feirL, stopping her merry nonsense long enough lur such an unusual operation! what can it be about?" L-tty drew herself up with an assump tion of iujured dignity; but her eyes and smiling lips lore witness that she was not deeply e.ucuded. Ye.u treat me so like a child, Mal colm, that I have almost grown to think that, though a married woman, 1 can still avoid all trying responsibilities, and make hie one grand holiday. "lint 1 am beginning to see things in a new light "1 may have but the cue talent etill I have no right to waste it, I feel thor oughly ashamed of myself to be such an ioler in tuis busy world." Malcolm looked ito the earnest eyes with a mock seriousness of expret-sion in his own Liown orbs as lie said Well, 1'uss, I am sony if I'm going to lore my pleasant little companion, and have a loug-laced reformer take her place." .Letty smiled.

"Who is Tittle Xettie?" asked a gentle voice, and looking np, the girl met a glance from Mrs. Blythe's eyes which for the moment deprived her of her power to answer. It was so kind and tympathetio that ucr lean came taster tnd faster. At last she fonnd her voice, and man aged to stammer onL notwitlit.r..linr tne lump in her throat, which seemed w list; ana almost choke her "Nett-e is my little only sister.

"Yes ma'am; and I've been trying to earn enough money by sawing to get them tor her, but I couldn't" "She shall have some stockings, and some nice warm underclothing, and a dre-ss too. You shall come with me and select them." It did not take long to make the in tended purchases. Then Mrs. Blytbe led the wandering girl out to where her lnxuneusly-cushioned pL&'ton was in waiting, and in few momenta they w here being whirled rapidly along the crowded streets. "Sow put your hands into my muff uu gei mem uioh ana warm, while you tell me all about yourself and Aettie. 1 will take you home, and see where you live and what I can do for yon." Nancy's story was soon told. I will give it in her own words "We live on the top floor of number five, Walton St. Poor mother broke her heart after father's tleath, and only lived two months. I have earned what I could by doing coarse sewing; bnt work is i lit off and pay was so poor that I hi'du't saved a'lytliing. "I've tiied to pick np odd jobbs, but the-y are hard to find. I haven't beesed yet, though 1 walked np and down a good while to-day, trying to get up courage to ask for some pennies just to get Nettie some bread and nihk, but I couldn't" Tears were in Mrs. Blythe's eyes as she listened to the pitiful story. then she said "She shall not lack again for what she needs. I will hely you until work gets brisk again. As they entered the cold, bare-looking room, it did not seem at .first to be tenanted. But at last a curly head peeped out from under a blanket which covered the meagre ajology for a couch. Little Nettie had crept under it to keep herself warm. As she caught sight of her sister she gave a glad cry. then seeing the strange lady she shrank back timidly. "lon t le afraid, Nettie, said the kind voice; "I am going to stay here while sister runs and buys some coal and wood, and something to get you a warm supper with. While Nannv was awav she produced the warm, bright-colored stockings, and told Nettie to put them on. It tu&es but a trine to make a child forget sorrow, and be gay with the gayest, and Nettie s face absolutely shone with joy, and her baby tongue was soon prattling away as though she had known Mr Blythe all her hie. When that lady went home Her own heart was full of the r fleeted happiness which she had bestowed upon Nanny and Nettie. 'I hat evening alter her husband had donned dressiug-gown and slippers, she told him the story of her day's work, hall-eirectU-'K he would make eiort ot he-r in cis usual kind, but satirical fash- He listened in bL'encc, apparently counting the purple rings whicli curled upwards from his cigar. When she had finished he turned to her Do ye-u know what you are doing, Letty ? You are encouraging pauperism! It is evidently my duty to npiimand you seriously." Letty looked at him in a puzzled way; but a merry twinkle in his brown eyes betrayed him. On, Malcolm! you are too batt? you are making fun of me." "Not at all Letty; I shall take your punishment into my own hands at once. And be-fore the young wife knew ot his intentions he drew her upon his knee and kissed her tenderly. "1 see you've found your mission; Letty ; and you mav do ail the good you mish to while I hni the funds. Does Unit seem right and good iu your eves?" ' -Malcolm, you're an angel!

A butter ped'.er from Honey Lake re lates with great glee how a neighbor of his was cured ot too frequent tipping the gin bottle. Tuis neighbor married a youcg, handsome spirited lady, and for a month or two all went well in the house and (bout the farm; then the husband fell back into his old tricks. The wife remon strated and for a time tae husband re formed. Presently, however, she became satisfied that the "bottle tipping" was again going on. When she tpofee to her husband about the matter he swore that the "aroma" she detected was that ot a colic medicine he was taking, he having developed a most intractable colic, for the relief of which he bad brought home and paraded a bottle cf medicine. The wife was confident that there was kept somewhere about tin; premises a con siderable store of a very different kind of medicine. She kept her awn counsel and at the sarne time a strict watch. In a day or two she discovered under a manner in the barn the secret hoard. She said noth ing of the discovery to her husband. Soon after the huspand had business at a neighbor's some two miles away. On his return tie was somewhat surprised at fee ing a note pinned upon his front door, lie hastily advanced and read as follows : "Ben : Yen will find the key ot the bouse where you keep your colic medicine. 1 have taken Kitty and goae home to my mother. Father and brother Bob will come to-morrow for the trunk in which I have packed my things. 'ki.lie." The husband rushed to the barn. At a glance he saw that Kitty, his wife's mare, and the side-saddle were gone. Darti ce to the manger he hauled out his corpulent demijohn of gin, and suspended from its neck found the key ol the nouse. Se-curing the key. be sent the demijohn whizzmg and crashing agaiust a post of the barn. Bounding forth, he ran to and mounted the horse he bad left standing iu front of his house. Away be dashed. It was ten miles to the bouse ot his father-in-law, and he w determined to overtake his wife before she could reach it or kill a borse in the at tempt. Said the butter man: "Now, I seed Ben's wife come over the bill, half a mile south of my house, on her little mare Kit ty, and begin to perform some queer abo lutions. After she'd got over the brow o the hill the paced up an' down the road or a time; then she rid up and loosed over the ridge for a while. After iookin' a bit she turned about and rid up and down the road a few times, then went up to the brow o' the hill again. So she kept doin', an' once or twice she got off and led Kitty up to the top of the hilt 'I was puzzled as to whether she was wait in1 for somebody or had lost something while on bur way to her father's place. some four miles beyond my house. I was just abeut to walk out that way when I seed her wheel Kitty round froui tne brow o' the hill and begin to play her whip. In half a minute she wasll.nn past my place like a wild woman. I stoxl at my tront gate by thesdside, ready to holier out at tier to know what was up, but, bless you, she never looked to'ards me. iter eyes seemed sot in her head, her face was pale and at every jump she let into Kitty with a wbip. 1 swar, her ndin'-skut tairiy cracked as she bounded past "Jist then I heerd a tremendjus claf er behind me.

They bad the appearance ol charcoal-burners. but tbe bouse might have been taken for an arsenal. Oa every side were guns, pistols, sabers, knives, cutlaises. All this displeased me, and 1 saw well that I pleased the people as little, aij comrade, on the contrary, made himself one of the family, he laughed, he chatted with them, and with a singular imprudence which 1 ought to have foreseen, for I should not have trusted to a head of 2U years, be told whence we came, whither we were going, and, worse than all, that we were i reuebmen Imagine a little: alone, lost, among mortal enemies, far trom all nuinan help; and, tbat nothing niinht be lacking that could destroy us, he pretended to be rich, and promised there people whatever they wished for otr expenses and tor a guide the next day 1 At last be spike of his valise, prayed them to take tbe greatest Care of it and to place it at ihj bead of the bed.

Tbe supper ended, the people all left us. Our hosts slept in a room below; an attic oi loft raised six or eight feet above the room in which we had eaten, and to which we climbed by a ladder, was the sleeping apartment that awaited us, a sort ot nest into which we introduced our selves by creeping under rafters laden with provisions sufficient for an entire year. My companion climbed first, threw himseif upon the bed, and was asleep in a moment Determined to watch, 1 made a good Cre and seated myself by it. The night wore away very quietly. I was beginning to be reas&urred and to think my fears and suspicions wholly groundless, when, just before daj-break, as it seemed to n e, 1 heard tbe voices of our host and his wife in loud talk, appar ency arguing. Placing my ear to tbe chimney, which communicated with the room below, I clearly distinguished these words trom the husband : "Well, let us see finally, will it be nec- cessary to kill them both t" lo which the wue replied, "les, kill them both." I heard nothing mote I stood breath less my whole body cold as marble, to have seen me, you would scarcely have known whether I was dead or living. Heavens I when 1 think of it even now, 1 shudder.

As soon as it was daylight the whole family came with a great noise to wake iu. as we had desired. A very good break fast was served to us, I assure you ; two fowls made a part of it, one of which. said our hostess, we must eat, aud tbe other we must cany away with us. Un seeing them I comprehended at once tbe meaniug of these terrible words "Will it be necessary to kill them both," aud you, 1 lclieve, have si.flleieDt penetration to divine without explanation what they sig nified lluutiiiit a'ltuihrrs. There were some famous panther hunters iu Sullivan County, New York, in early days. Besides IMrbee there were the Overtoils, Peter Stewart, Cyrus Dodge, Nelson Crocker, and many others. 1'eter Stewart is still alive, and must be getting along toward ninety years of age. He fives in ltoca land, where he was born. The narra tive of his adventures would make a book. Cyrus Dodge killed more pan thers ui one single hunt than any olher hunter that ever lived. He killed seven in less than one hour. He was buutio one day iu the Spring of 1818, and wheu in the neighborhood ol Loug Pond discovered a panther's deu. It had two kittens in it, the old panthers being away on a foraging expedition. He toek both the young ones and started home with them, placing them inside his hunting si art lie hudu t gone ftr before he heard the mother yelling behind him. He knew he was iu for a fight, and placed himself in a petition to dc his best l'retty sooa the panther came tearing along through the woods. Wheu she caught sight of Dodge she bounded to m it bin thirty leet of him aud crouched for a spring, lie shot her, bat ibd not kill her. Her cries were ttumble, aud Dodge knew that iu a short time any other panthers there might be id that vicinity would soon hasten to the scene. She was disabled, and another shot put au end to her. 'then Dodge made for the pond, which was a half mile or so away. Cnea from ail sides told him that he was not yet through with all hut work. By the time he reached the pond he could hear panthers leaping through the branches of the trees. A panther ill not enter water. Djdge aaded out aa far as Le could aud prepared lor busuieos.

In spite of the threats of the Nihi lists, preparations for the coronation of the Czar Alexander III. ar progress iug at Moscow, add news comes daily of some new and more expensive elabo ration of the miichiuery for the impe rial pageantry. The Kremlin, wherein the principal ceremonies will be per formed, is one of the moot remarkable structures iu the worhb IU usual designation in the West, "the pabiee of the Kremlin, is entirely misleading. There is within its wails a palace, it is true, aud a most magnitioeut one in point ol both exUnt and decoration, bnt that is only a small portion of the whole, which is a combination of for tress, arsenal, ecclesiastical capital, official headquarters and imperial resi dence all iu one. The Krcmliu is really the citadel of Moscow, aud undoubtedly occupies the eutire area of the ancient city. It is surrounded by au earthen rampart varying trom m to ou lee t in height at whose basa ou oue side flow the waters of tha river Moskwa. With in the walls, overlooked by the tower of Ivan the Great, whose gildtd cross is 323 feet from the ground, are cathe drals, churches, palaces, monasteries and monuments grouped together with out any attempt at symmetry of ar rangement and representative of almost every known variety ot architectural desigu and period. There are the Cathedral of the Assumption, in which every Czir since Ivau the Terrible has been crowned, and in which it is in tended Alexander's coronation shall take place next May; the Cathedral of the Archangel, where the bones of all the KomanolTa np to the time of Peter the Great lie bnried; the Cathedral of the Annunciation, formerly the place cf baptism and marriage ot the imperial family; the Cuurch of the K teenier, one of the oldest buildings in Moscow, if not in Europe; the Miracle Monas tery, the Ascension Convent and the Sacristy of the Holy Synod, where the robes aud sacred vessels of the patri archs ara preserved. These are the religious edifices. Next comes the pal ace, built on the site of the one de strovod by" Bostopehin's torches when Napoleon's army was driven out to lreeld iu the dread winter of lS12-lo Tuis fctructure. a large twrtiou of u erected by the Emperor Nicholas- he whose heart broke when his armies met defeat in the Crimea contains many niagnitioeut halls dedicated to the various orders of Russian knight hood. Id this, too, is the treasury. where, as iu a vast museum, are cou tabled arm3, armor, relics, regalia ana other treasures illustrative of the his tory of the ancestors of the Czar. The Arsenal, au imposing structure of im posing strength, occupies the anglu of the Kremlin, and there, when the de spot of the Kuosnvi walks, he surveys with pride a collection of captmed tro phies of war, among them t!o caiuiou taken trom the enemies ot the Czar. The great bazaar of Moscow is an enor mous structure, covering three stpaiires, three stories high aud intersected by numerous narrow streets and passage ways. In its storehouses it is calcula ted there are stocks of all sorts of goods, amounting iu average value to between 5o5,OOO.UUO and b0,000,000, and this represents only a comparatively small portion of the value oi the general merchandise within the city, there being other bazaars and market places of almost equal extent crammed with valuable stocks of goods. The destruc tion of such a city would be an incal culable disaster to Kussian wealth and cou morcc. Whether the Nihilists pos sess (lower sufficient to carry out their threats remains to be seeu. It is now almost certain that the Emperor has abandoned, if he ever entertained, the idea of making any concessions to their demaiuls. Wilderueuot Canary llinl. The recent annual report of the Hildes lieini Board ot Tiade closes the chapter on the purchase aud sale of animal pro ducts with au allusion to a branch of trade no longer uncommon within the sphere of iu ac ion. The firm of C Beiche, in Alfeld, dealer iu animals, origuia ly rawing aud selling canary birds only, but of late years a rival of the groat Hamburg bouse of Hageubeck appended a detailed statement of sales ot wild beast, ruminants, pachyderms tnd birds, which ita travelers in Africa and Australia had purchased, as well as of canary birds bought and exported to countries beyond the seas .

"Why don't you take some slock in the new electric light company, "said an aged man to a middle aged man, as they stood up to a bar taking drink. 'Not none." said the midcle aged man, aa he stirred the beverage with a spoon, and swallowed it not the spoou bnt the beverage. "There's too much electricity, I tell you, and I don't know where the electricity craze is goiug to end. We send messages by electricity, talk by it, our streets and bouses are to lie lighted by it, t nd now they have got to using it to cure diseaes with. Why, do you know, they advertise to cure everything with electricity. Ton know my wife? Well, ihe thinks she has every disease under the sua, and she is a walk ing galvanic battery. I dare not touch her unless I touch a gas pipe or some iron substance first, or spark will fly from my hands and tturtle me. Yen haven't sien her lately, eh? Well she looks twice as big as she ever did be fore, bnt she is poor from carrying around electric belts and pads. First, she saw au advertismeut iu a Chicago paper of aa electric belt, and ah-) wouldn't be satisfied till I got her one, and to keep peace in the family I took her measure down to Chicago and got a belt tnd she pnt it on aud said she felt better. T'heu she wanted a pair of electric insolt a for her shoes, and I got them. Then she wanted an electric supporter, and I thought it would be a good way to support hor, and I got one for her. Then she wanted an 'electric stomach and liver brace, and I got that. I thought she was pretty well protected against the majority of the diseases the humau family is subjected to, but the saw some more pictures of electric ap pliances in the paper, and I had to buy her some back pads," and breast colliirs, and electric stockings, and she will waut the test of the harness, including a sur cingle and headstall. hy, Johu. houestly. I will give you leave to shoot at my w Je with a shot gun loaded with fine shot, for five cents a shot, and will give you a dollar for eveiy shot that touches her person. She i enveloped iu a perfect coat of electric mail, and she isu't very well yet 0, I forgot tie knee pads aud hair crimpers. I expect she will want a telephone hue next, aud a tower with an electric fight of four hundred candle power. We'd, I don't know as this electric business iu my family does any good, but it is a great saving ou j ills aud thiugi. Before she struck this electric fake it was a cold day wheu the drug man's hand-cart did not stop at my house, but now all she boys at a drug store is porous plasters and perfume. Why, she used to have a regular time car hung up iu her room for taking medicino, and it required the brain of a chief justice to prevent get ting the different kinds of medicine hi at tbe wrong times. I have seen her bake seveu different kinds of little white pills fcl a half day, and never miss a pel1 or get the wrong kind, and every pill looked just alike, and there was no taste cr smell to them. It was a great strain or her mink, and ui.iy be this electricity is doing her good, iu resting her intel lect All you have to do is to buc-Ue on the magnetic corset, or surcingle, and it goes right to work at the drop ot the hat, snd the same one is good for a child iu arms or a vctrau a hundred years old. There is no doubt in my niind that science has simplified things wonderfully, and if my wife is not cured it wid not be hor fault. But no elec tric light sU-ck for me, If I should carry home a block of electric light stock my wife would buckle it ou to hei somewhere, and swear she experienced great releif. But I will have to go, as I have heard of au electric buuiou, per snaid and corn auuihilator a man is sell ing down ou the South side, and my wife wants oue. Good-day." Trle.

Mount Klua's eruption is only partial success this tune, but even a lrti;il eruption from Ktnu means more than a complete activity in many other volcanoes. Tbe volcaiiiccli.iiu in South ern Itidy, Sicily and the adjoining island- is ntie of the most interesting iu the wolid. From its msitioii in the t ent re of ci ili-itiou the svstrm lues for nearlv twentv-tive hundred vrars afford ed the liest means ot studying the phen omena of volcanoes, and it w safe to say that every symptom of Vesuvius and Ktna has In ch observed and that all t lie imKiitant symptoms have Ut-n re ixirted since the iias of l lniv. Ihe Bay of Naples itself i now ladicvcd by geologists to lie the- reinanes of an enor mous crater, along whose edges small jets still exist. Vesuvius U-ing the most imMitaiit. Thus for miles along the shore hot spring, rumblings, sulphur Nils and other evidences of internal dviiamii- eneigv are met with. At l'oiioli. a suburb of Naples, is a blind crater known as the Nilfatara, and lievoud is like A vermis, an extinct .crater tilled with water. The island of Ischia, at the northern entrance to the bav is crowned by a volcano. Mount ENimeo. which lay dormant for tive or six cent lil ies, and that burst into erup tion only a short tune age. 1 roceedmg towards Meilv we t-oine to a cluster ot small islands, the U-st known of which is StioiiilNili, which is almost continual ly iu a state of activity. There, accord ing to .some li'uends. was situated the forge of old Vulcan, whence shirks and cinders were iien'tuaHy emitted Etna itself is the largest volcano of the system, and differs li'oiu the others in structure, a well as in magnitude. Vesuvius has only a single ojieiiiiur. and so has MromUili; hut all along the sides of Etna secondary jets, several hundred iu number, are found, in addition to the enormous crater at the summit. But even Etna is not a liist-cla.ss volcano. For them we must go to the Andes, and study t ooiaxi ami I oyamlie, or to the t'oidiI!ers to l'oixicalapt'll. or to the terribly energetic systems of tlie East Indies. Mauniloa. in the Sand wich Islands, must also lie ranked among the largi-st and most active of volcanoes. Iieing. in tact, the nucleus of the Sandwich Islands.

This accounts for the fact that Pompeii is coii!iar.itifly easily excavat ed, while llen-iilaneuiit must ! hewn, as it were, out of the solid rock. Pop ular opinion has always laid cimsiilcra blesliess iipin the fact that liior-t vol canoes are either ii(oli the seashore or within a short distance of it, but scientific men to-d,iv differ in the amount of weight which they attribute to this coincidence.
