My love and 1 1 MY DIAMOND. I could rIvo you the pedigree of the stone but the details are so long and so many they might tire you. Sufficient to say that I bought it mauy yeRrs ago from an old Jew in the lower part of liroadway, who told me a curious story concerning it. He said it was a a talisman ; that four hundred years ago it was owned by a Venetian family of ruined fortunes, who had long guarded it with jealous care ; it had pasaed from them in many ways to brothers of his in the money-lending way and should bo mine if I would pay him his price for it. In truth tlio stone had a strange and fiery gleam. At the first glance it seemed of the purest water ; In an instant it changed to pink, bluo and a pale green, and then ir ridescent opal hues, emitting sparks of fire. I watched it curiously for nearly an tour talking irrelevantly tho while on other mat ters, and reluctantly coming to the conclu- on that if ever a precious stone possessed uncanny properties this one certainly did. I thought myself yielding to foolish supersti tion, or that my eyes were tired with long gazing at the gem, and to rest them I turned my glance to other diamonds in the case to compare them with the talisman. The Jew ivined my thoughts, for he took from his side-pocket a wallet and opened it, and from compartment brought out several small . ... , ue paper packed, openeu tuem anu showed to me large and sparkling' dia mond. There is not one like that you have in your hand,' he said. He was right. All were bright in their glistening llasn and merciless gleam woudrously beautiful, but all were unlike the talisman. Why do you sell it?" Tasked. 'With all this wealth you cannot need money, and f what you tell me of its talinmanic prop erty be true, tho gem is priceless.' 'I wish to sell it if you have the courage to buy,' he made answer. U.seemed to roa that he purposely made hKtone dramatic, and I smiled scornfully. As for the stone itself. I liked it :;the story he told of-its virtue, although I Only half believed it, intciested me. I had no fear of any evil supernatural Influence j it was just the size I wanted to buy, and in shape and cutting It was all Mint wo,s to be dejlred. Tho old, Jew told me that when I was about to embark in any enterprise that would prove successful, the stone, would daz- zle with uuusual brilliano'y. If misfortune or death was to come upon mo or mine the stone would appear dull and almost neu tral. Now I am a practical sort of a follow, but I had no objection to take the mystery along with the stone, provided it was thrown in as a bargain and I bad not to pay extra for It In a few minutes I had made upmymlndand counted out tq him four hundred dollars, tho price he asked for it, and left. I wore the diamond for more than five years : at first In a ring, afterwards in shirt stud and then again in a ring. It now encircles the finger of a lovely lady, whose little daughter calls me "papa." All this time there hare been no tragodies In our family, and no dear friend bps died. My own health has been excellent, and I am quite resigned to bave It put down to imagi nation on my part that, to me, my stone l bright or dull, according to the prospects ahead. Only this I aulrni, that twice, when to test it, I went contrary to its warning, the punishment quickly followed the olleuse, Once I speculaied in Pacific Mail and lost heavily, and once I asked a sweet lady friend to be my wife and Bhe refused me plump. Superstitious or not, as you will, I regard my diamond as my talisman, my mentor, and ever since my unsuccessful wooing Select Story. have looked upon it with lore not unmixed BLOOMSBTJEG, PA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12. 1879. with awo. Ono morning, when riding down town in a Madison avenue car to my busi ness, I looked up from my paper conscious of a pair of eyes fixed upon me. Opposite was a lady of about 20 years, dressed In soft sombre gray j the only bits of color ,tb re lieve It except the bloom In her refined face, was a bit of red, low down beneath tho brim of her gray felt hat. Iter eyes were light, lustrous brown her hair, much dark er and glossy, was brushed back In wave fr,.ni her low forehead, upon which a curl or two fell, not the detestable "bangs," which I frankly stale I abhor, but short, gracelul, fringe-like ringlets, rested upon tho white brow as if they loved It. There was no doubt about It, this rare and radiant maiden was gazing at me. I looked at her In return with a face I tried to make expressive of nothing, certain ly not curiosity. She glanced down at her book, 'Daniel Deronda.' I returned to my telegraphic dispatches in the Herald. Again I felt her gaze,and again Hooked up and met her eyes. She had evidently wanted to speak to me, or else had something on her mind concerning me. Had I over seen before ? I asked myself. Nol She seemed too mod estly sweet to wish to attract the attention of a stranger. Perish the thought, I said Inwardly. But she was certainly looking at me again. I am not a bad looking fellow, and as men go, not a bad sort. I have al was been popular with my lady friends, and I returned her look this time with one of interest, and I am afraid I smiled. Instantly her face clouded, she bent, over her book and bit her lip angrily. I turned to my paper, but not to read. Once more I lood up at my vis-a-vis ; she was steadily gazing at me. I could have sworn to It. O, my talUraan I you failed mo then, but the fault was mine. I did not seek your advice. Just at that moment the conductor came hurriedly to the front of the car to speak to the driver, and as ho was returning the lady In gray said to him in a low voice, every word perfectly audible to mo and as chilling as an ice berg : 'Conductor, the gentleman opposite me is losing his diamond ' I flushed to the roots of my hair, felt for the stone and discovered that It was hanging by the spiral pcrew, and so nearly out that n quick movement would have sent it down into the meshes of the car mat. I replaced it securely, bending back the wire for great er salety, and then cast an imploring look ot apology, gratitude and humiliation upon the kind stranger. Her fnce remained'placid but after a moment a demure smile stole in to the corners of her moutb, and I don't think it was provoked by what she tuw through reading very attentively. She left the car at Fourteenth street and I gazed eagerly after her as she turned up to Broadway, and then I must have sighed, Perhaps because I feared Lshould never see her again. What more natural than for me to desire to know her ? It was so kind and so sensible of her to prevent my losing my diamond. She was such a gentle looking creature, though she bad spirit, as I saw once in the gleam of her eyes, and those eyes were so expressive ot intellectuality, and her perfect nose was only less beautiful than her perfect carnation mouth. But, pshaw 1 need I apologize now for my inter est then. It does not take any of us very long to discover that. Love never asks the question, why ? As the old song says, 'she has gone from my gaze like a beautiful dream.' If I could only meet her again. Perhaps she was married. Not that It was any of my business, but somehow she did not look married. She was girlish iu spite of her dignity. One thing that I discovered that there was a name on the flyleaf of her book, the first of which was Maud. Per haps the book was not hers, and if it was could I hope to find iu a great city like New Y'ork a lady only knowing that her uame was Maud. When I had arrived at this stage of common sense I had reached my place of business, aud after attending to the first duty of the day, reading my mail, my thoughts flow back to ray lady in gray. If the thing were within the bounds 01 possibility I would like to find out who she Is just to thauk her for her kindness to me.' How like a jackass I must have appeared to her. When I remembered my imperii nence in smiling I would have been glad to have found some obliging friend to kick me down stairs for my idiocy. I bowed to the inevitable and dismissed the atlalr with a sigh, but I did not forget her face. One rainy afternoon, about a month after I met her in a Broadway stage. I recognized er in a momtnt and took a seat, the only one vacant, by her side. I looked into her faco. and I knew she remembered me, but he did not exhibit the fainttst gleam ol consciousness ot my existence. It was worse than Tantalus and the torments. Before she left the stage the rain fell in torrents, hoped that she was not provided with an umbrella, thatl mightoflerbertheprotection of mine, but a glance showed me that she held ono in her right hand. My unfortunate luck again I I looked dowu at my diamond it sparkled like tho sunbeams and asjoyous ly, but its dazzle conveyed no'intelligcnce to me only it gave me a gleam of hope. She was bo near that I could easily bave played a trick, like one a friend of miuo once played, slip a card into ber cloafc pock' et. Nothing of that kind would go down with this queenly character I perlectly well kuew. I was lorced to watch ber again leave me and turn down the street, holding her dress so dexterously that it quite escaped the pave- meat and disclosed two neatly lilting mile boots. Perhaps I should have said before that my name is Eldiidge, that I am a lawyer, and Judce Clinton's junior partner. In the next office to ours there are two young fel lows just started in law, who receive more calls from their lady frieudi than retaining fees from clients. One day as I was leaving my oflice I saw my lady In gray go In theirs. I must coufesa to feeliug a sort of chill an then dissapointment. I did not like to kqow that my dignified unknown weut around vis. Iting gentlemen's office., even though the centlemen were ber acquaintances. Oc casionally a lady friend would call upon me, not upon business, and although I was al ways polite I never encouraged that 'sort of thing, and as a piactlce I heartily dlsap proved of It. My second thought was more charltabl One of the fellows might be her brother, So much tho better, I would make bis qualntance and cultivate him. I did this after some weeks' delay and considerable circumlocution on my pari, and learned that the elder of tho two men, Mr. Allyn, had a sister named Maud, and that she was en gaged to his friend and partner. Just think of my dismay. Actually engaged to tho other fellow I I was sad enough to know she was bound, but I raged thinking of ber as the wile of a fellow who had little ambi tion and less brains. There was nothing in the man, absolutely nothing. Why, only a week before he had shown a lack of legal acumen In n case a mere technicality of which tho rawest student should not have been ignorant. What women can see In some men but there, I must not get incoherent. I looked at my ring after my disturbed thoughts, and its rosy gleam gave me fresh courage. After reflecting a day I resolved to remorselessly and determinately cut him out. It was quite in my power to be of service to Mr. Allyn, and In return he asked me to his father's houso to dinner. So I saw my lady Maud at home, and there, where true women shine best, I found her more sweet and womauly than she looked to me before. I bad prepared myself for our first meeting, but she had not and betrayed a little em barrassment. I did not, however, refer to our adventure until I bad called on her sev eral times, and then I ventured to thank her for coming to tho rescue of my precious di- amond. She begged of me with deep pink In her cheeks not to mention it. I was assiduous In my attentions and laid siego to the hearts of the rest of the family, and quietly began to woo. That I had some Influence over her was proved by the fact that her betrothed became jealous of me and forbade ber from receiving my visits. She rebelled, after bearing with long annoy ance from him, and finally sho dismissed him. I ventured to ask her like a hypocrite why I no longer met Mr. Fuibish at her home. 'Not that I am pining for his socie ty,' I added with a shrug. 'We have broken our engagement,' she said, looking at the carpet. I consulted my talisman. Blessings upon it. It fairly danced in the light. The temptation was strong but I resisted it, to beg her to give mo tho hand he had lost. I waited until one evening when I was escorting ber home from the theatre, and I told her the story of my ring, and sho be lieved In its magic more firmly than I did.. 'It has never filled me yet, Miss Allyn, and I am longing to put it to astro ngcrte.it.'

From the way in which he turned out when bo grew to be a young man, it is easy enough to conclude what kind of a boy -the rodigalSon was. He was terribly entrav- agant frotn a child. There wasn't anything m the house too good for him. i,very cent could get his hands on he spent for candy and things. If his mother irave him a nickel to put in the contribution box, he bought peanuts with it on his way to Sunday-school, eating them all up on the road, and not caring a cent if the poor I enthen didn't bave a peanut to their back. he money that could spend I He would wear his best suit week days, and could not be induced to go barefooted in the summer, s the rest ot tho boys had to do. He stnok d ten-cent cigars before he was six years old, while other boys were satisfied with irrane-vine. At ten, he wore lilgb-standing collars and plug hat, and the nobbiest suit that the tailor could make. He carried a natty little cane, parted his hair In the middle and sported an eye-glass. He drank pony brandy,ponying up twenty-five cents a drink for it, and spoke to his father as the 'gov ernor,' and bis mother as 'the old woman.' He was a regular, patron of the opera, which e pronounced 'Aw, deused fine, you knaw,' .......... I and never missed the the theatre mat! nee. At an age when boys were usually at school, this lyoung progidal was hanging around bars and billiard-saloons, learning those lessons in vico and vulgarity which fitted him for the companionship he was to seek when he came to his estate. If they had Sunday night theatres in those days, the lad was undoubtedly a regular attendant. and his father prcbably bad numerous liv ery bills to pay for bis Sunday riding; No hone-race came off without that young rep robate being seen on the track, hat on one ideof hla empty bead, and a cigar In bis mouth, making bets with the grown-up and and otherwise gray-headed infanta around him: And be probably never missed a chicken dispute or a prize-fight that was anywhere within reach Wo have all seen just such boys, and we know they never come'to any good. There is a responsibility at home for their con duct, frequently, that Is apt to be overlook ed. A father too much engrossed in busi ness.or a mother too absorbed in fashion and society to heed what their boy Is doing, or what company he keeps. Or if peccadil los are brought to their attention by some friend of the family, who doesn't get any thanks for it, they are only smiled at and passed by as the natural outbursts of a some what exuberant naturo.

E. H.' sends the Boston HeraM the following Incidents, as related to him by a n gentleman who was attached to the head' quarters of General Leo in the capacity of chief medical purveyor of the army of North ern Virginia. The remnant of tho onco proud army of Northern Virginia, worn out with the in cessant fatigue and privations incidental to their late retreat from Petersburg, lay rest ing under the shade of tho trees In the neighborhood of the now famous Appatnat tox Court House, anxiously awaiting the re turn of their much loved chiellan, who some hours previously had gone over to the headquarters of the Union army to arrange with Gen. Grant for tho capitulation of the Southern forces under his command. There they lay the heroes of many a hard-fought battle, thinking over the momentous events of the past four years, realizing that their labor had been In vain, that their suflerings and sacrifices weie to count as nought, and looking with blank dismay into the un- promising future. A shout is heard, the 'rebel yell rings out once more, and for the W time : the crowd rushes to the roadside to welcome back their venerable commander. They call upon him for a speech. Slowly Bnd sadly turning toward them he replies, 'I have not to-day the heart to make you a speech. I have turned ovtr the army to General Grant. Y'ou will all be allowed to return to your homes, and I hope you will be happy there.' Dismounting from his horse, he remained for some time standing under a neighboring tree. His officers, In termingled with men from the ranks, group ed themselves around him. Some of these were gray haired men, others wero boys. One youth, apparently not more than 15, a courier attached to one of the headquarters, with eyes intently fixed upon bis aged com- mander, had sunk upon one knee to rest him self, and thus unconsciously assumed an at titude of adoration, the whole forming a picturesque group. Few words were spok en. Silently they looked upon the man whom they had learned to love and vener ate, and with wham they were soon to part forever. The moment was sad and solemn. Few eyes were dry, and down the cheeks of Lee himself tears traveled unrepressed, for no one In that party cared, or even thought, of concealing the groat grief Tthat oppressed their manly hearts. The setting sun shone full.upon them, lingering, as it were, to bid rarewen to the heroic army it had 'lightened through to many a bard-fought field, and upon whom the fates had decreed that it should never shino again, The following anecdote illustrates the dis like with which Gen. Lee always regarded any departure from the rigid simplicity which characterized the life at bis head quarters : Ono of his inspector generals, Col. Murray, was quite advanced in life, and som-j fiicnd, wishing to contribute, to biscrmfort, had presented him with a cush ioned arm chair. Tents had been struck and the baggage all packed In the wagons, rjreparatory to starting on the day's march, au except tho cushioned chair, in which the colonel sat, waiting to join the general M Ue passed. A few moments later Gen. rode UPi regarded the colonel for a mo- ment, and then quietly remarked : 'Col. Murray, I would advise you, the next time we 8tftrt 0u a campaign, to bring your centre table with you.' It is needless to say that the chair was never again seen at the army headquarters. DANGER IN A SKAb SKIN SACUUE. It was a fearfully battered up citizeness that walked into police headquarters the other day, and demanded a warrant. 'Certainly,' said tbe P. A., picking up a blank. 'What is the scoundrel's name,mad am ?.' 'It wasn't a man. It was that ugly.splte- ful hussy, Mrs. McGufl'ey. I'll Lave her heart's blood 1' 'You don't mean to say that it was a worn an who battered you up iu that fearful man ner ?' 'I'll tell you all about it.

THE HEUltl.T OP F00LIN0 WITH SOME EIXC- TlllCUt, APFAIIATUS. .Cooper, Halley & Co., proprietors of the London and International Australian shows have sustained a heavy !ns In the death of the Elephant Romeo, which took place un der peculiarly horrible circumstances In Boonvllle, Mo., last Tuesday. Romeo was one of the ten trained elephants whose per formances havo so far been one of the most attractive, of the show, and was valued at f 35,000. One of the appurtenauces of the show is an Immense electric apparatus which is used In connection with the electric light that supplies Illumination for the entire can vass of the circus. This machine consists of a large magnet, and an immense armature which Is made to revolve two hundred and fifty times in a minute by means of a thirty five horse power engine. The apparatus Is of intense electrical power, a knlfe-blade held within two feet of it becoming so heav ily charged with the current that it can be used thereafter as a loadstone. Last Wednesday Profossor Sherman was Retting his battery In readlness.for the afternoon per formance, had 'fired up,' set the machine in motion, aud click, click, went the lights ono after tho other, as the electricity flew along the insulated cables. When all was In working shape the Professor sauntered ofl leisurely, aud had not his attention call ed to the machine again until he heard an unearthly roar and a crash coming from the direction of the battery, ilo was startled as was also the small army of worklngmen inside the tents and the largo army of boys and idlers on the outside. Everybody rushed to the spot. The roars continued to resound through the canvas, and for a while the greatest consternation held the. crowd On approaching the vicinity of the electric machine Romeo was found In the throes of death agony, and with his trunk torn away by the roots from its base. The poor beast lay there shorn of its strength, and present ing a horr!ble,mutilated appearance. Every- thing was done that it was possible to do for tho dying animal, but its agonies were terrible, and when at length it gasped Its last there was a feeling of relief among those who surrounded its mountaiuous corpse. Joseph lvlmioiv, mo leader 01 the baud, who witnessed the accident, says that Romeo, who was roaming around in tb tent with his nino giant companions, sham bled up to the machine and was sniffing at the armature when its trunk was caught In the revolving apparatus, and the animal was thrown violently to the eround and th trunk carried away by the whirling maeluu ery. J'roiessnr anermau rigiuea nis appara tus in a shurt time, aud a few necessary re- pairs were immediately made. Romeo was buried withiu tho buow grounds. , LouU Qlobe-Democrat. 1 UAISKU.
