L'l'oui) of lountrers on tlio mallorin a
young man of peculiar appearance, lie
was sallow and iinsnavenj ins eyes were
bleared and bloodshot; his clothing was
habby lo the last degree. His once
black coat was buttoned closely to the
chin, probably to conceal the lack of a
shiit. He advanced toward tho elderly
Ktiglwlmian.
"Uncle," said he, humbly.
"Is that you'" said the other, angrily;
"bo oft I 1 don't want to havo anything
to do with you."
"Come, uncle," said.lhe other, with n
mixturo of menace- and humility, "don't
bo so hard on a man."
He seized tho elder gentleman's arm.
and led him aside. After sumo moments'
ouiivci'.'ation thu undo seemed to soften,
and opening his valise, gave tho other
sumo bank notes. Tlio nephew devoured
the remaining roll with his eyes, and
after a curt word of thanks, disappeared
in tho crowd.
Leon and his bride entered the hotel,
and were shown to the best room in it.
Their status as a nowlv married couple
lirociired llieiu that honor. Tho walls
were covered with papc" representing
sceu"s around Naples. Unfortunately,
certain idle travelers had added mus
taches to all the female faces, and pipes
to all tho male, so the effect was, to a
certain oxtert, lost. The room was call
ed tho "blue room," tho furniture having
onco been of tl ;'t color.
Leon ordered dinner to bo served in
their room. The dilltcultv in procuring
it excited his wonder, ami on inquiring,
ho found that tho ollicers of the 1' ifty
second Hussars were giving a dinner lo
their comrades of the Sixty-lirst Chas
seurs that very evening, heiico tho con
fusion. Tolas liorrot, no learned mat
the banquet was pprcud in tho room im
mediately adjoining tho blue chamber.
However, there was no help for it. The

As Leon, soinnwhat troubled in mind.
returned to tho bluo chamber, ho noticed
that liia English fellow-traveler occupied
tlio room or tho other side. The door
was open and through it ho saw
tho Hilton seated before a lioulo and
glass, contemplating the ceiling.
"Well, it makes no difference, after
all," said ho to himself, "the Englishman

When ho entered tho bluo chamber
Leon looked to bolts and bars. On
Iho Englishman's side there was a don

On tho ollicers' side thero was no door,
but a very thin partition.
The young couple nml a meiuocro din

had it not been lor the tall; ot their null
tarv nemhllors. Tho conversation of
thoso gentlemen had nothing whatever
to do with tactics, strategy or tho art of
war in any way. On tho contrary it con
slated of highly boasoncd stories. And
ouch stories ! They were followed by
loarsof laughter, and even our friends
of the bluo room found it dilllcult at
times to preservo their gravity,
Hut tlio Btorles grow broader, tho
laughter grow louder, From tauten his
torlea dtcolletla they becaniot'oiftYa nuca,
Although ho was not prudish, Leon
thought tho situation rather embarrass
ing for liis bride; and sending for tlio
landlord, ho voqueMed him lo beg tho

"A hi idol" roared tho rovelcrs; "bring

to drink to tlio bride and talk to tho
husband."
Our fiicnd'i in the blue room trembled!
thoy feared an assault would bo made.
Hut tho satno voice prevailed over the
din, and it was evidently that of a su
peiior ollicer. llo lectured them on their
lack of courtesy, nnd there was compar
ative quiet for awhile. Hut from tho
inullled laughter that broko out from
tiino to time, Leon and his brido had
an idea they wero still the topic.
Suddenly thero was a roar from tho
loft hand room, "(iarsongl" shoutedtliu
Englishman, "giiniuu another bottle o'
port."
Tho poit was brought, and tlio Eng
lishman grew quiet. Finally the officers
having drank all they could carry, and
some of them more,' departed, having
joined in a parting toast to the bride.
Quiet at last reigned over tho hotel.
Tlio night was dear, tlio moon was shin
ing brightly. Leon ami his bride look
ed out from tho window and inhaled the
fragrance born from the flowers below.
.Suddenly Leon's g.i.o fell upon a man
who was sauntering amidst tho shrub
bery, lie walked with his head bent
down, a cigar in his mouth, and his hands
thrust into his pockets. As ho turned
the moonlight fell upon his face. It
was tho Englishman's dissolute neph
ew. The night wore on. Leon and his
brido had almost forgotten their English
neighbor, when they heard a strange
sound in hi room. It was that of the
fall of sonn- heavy body. Mingled with
this there was a peculiar crashing, grai
ing sound, followed by a utilled civ.
Silence. Then there wore two or three
mullered oaths, and silence again.
Tlio y.mag couple s-huddeied what
could it mean? Leoiijlriedo reinsure his
trembling companion, but ho was inter
rupted by the cautious opening of the
next door. It was soltly closed again,
and then slow and apparently careful
footsteps were heard in the hall. They
wore lost in tho distance. They eeag.'d.
Again all was still.
Soon the young brido was sleeping
calmly. Hut not so Leon. Despito him
self, the Minster face of tho Engliiliman's
nephew returned to his recollection.
There was hatred, ho thought, in the
glance cast upon the uncle by thu young
man when he left him, and then tho roll
of bank notes in tho valise. And that
dull, heavy sound but now, like tho fall
of a body upon the floor tho cry the
curses, fcsiich was the train of thought
that ran through Leon's mind.
Mechanically he lixed hi.s eyes upon
tho door which communicated with tlio
Englishman's room. There was a little
spaco between tlio uottom oi tlio door
and the flooring, liy tlio dim light lad
ing from the partially turned-down gas,
he could see something forcing its way
under the door. It seemed, at lirst, like
a knife blade, for tho edge was thin, and
reflected back the light. It moved slow
ly toward a little blue satin slipper,
which had been thrown carelessly near
the door.
"What can it bo?" thought Leon. "Is
it a knife? No, for it is divided into two
parts. And now il divides again and
vet again. What can it be ! It is some
iidiiid."
Tlio thing slowly crawled toward tho
little blue slipper. It encircled its heel.
It stained its front. It was a liquid. It
was a liquid of strange and unmistakable
color the color ot blond.
For a long time Leon lay and gazed
"and send up a chambermaid with a mops
lie dropped a bottle ctfj port on tho lloor
last night and tlio room is flooded."
lo tho amazement of both landlord,
and wailcr, Leon and ids wife sat down
nnd laughed until they cried.
"Order us a good breakfast," said ho
to the landioi'd, "wo won't go until the
two o'clock train "

In a series of articles in tho Inde
pendent, (teorgo H. liopworth, D.
I)., describes his first attempt at prene.i
ing without any further manuscript than
a few notes of tho main points of Ids
discourse. He went into tlio pulpit in
high spirils but;
"Onco fa'uly in tlio pulpit, however,
maltois assumed a very different and
much moro serious aspect. I suddenly
becamo despondent and oven hopeless.
I looked at my notes; but they did not
present that perspicuous continuity
which I had expected. My brain was
soon in a whirl of oxcitomeia and seem
ed to throb liko a largo pulse, and the
probability that I was on tho brink of
irrelrievablo ruin, which had heretofore
been only a momentary and ghastly vis
ion, began very rapidly to assume the
shape of a calamity, "if I could only
get back to my study, I thought, and
Ititi'li the poorest among iny i-mny dis

p.est mail o.i o.irth. A man must bo m

now think I must havo looked about
anxiously for a crack in tliPlloor.lhrough
which to disappear; and I am sure tliat
I should havo felt supremely grateful if
some base born but heaven-sent wretch
had suddenly appeared and cried "Fire!"
in order to disperse tho pioplo.

fore the sermon! 1 read it with sepul
ehral voice, and wished there li.nl been
fourteen verses instead ot four. I never
before felt the singular propriety of say
ing aiiudi at tho end of this putt of tho
service. As the choir sang the lust line,
I was prompted I) nsk them to repeat
the whole hymn, with a inherent tune.
Never until that moment did I sufficient
ly appreciate tlio valuo of church mtiiic
atid never until that moment did I wisli
that tho quartet might sing forever.
Hut thero is an end to all things, and I
devoutly hoped that that supremo mo
ment might not bo long delayed.
When I rose again in mv. place, I read
my text with signilicant deliberation, for
so long 'as 1 clung to the words of Scrip
turc I was safe; but what might happen
after tho congregation had been made
sufficiently acquainted with tho text I
dared not think. It seemed to mo a mis
take that I had not chosen for the text

der to mako sure of something I read
tho verso a second time, and then in un
ultcrablo despair, I read it a third time.
I wanted lo read it a fourth time, but
knowing that if I did 1 should bo rele

Hible and gave myself up to unutterable
misery, if you know how a vessel feels

sweat started out upon him. He attempt
I to rise, ami hide the slipper; as he
ltd so, his wife awoke, and stinted with
affright as she felt his icy hand.
'What is the matter? she cried.

be distinctly heard for half a milo and
under tlio impression that pcoplo would

enough, I read these notes one after
another, disconnected ai thov were, to
tho amazed congregation. Four pages
of catch words witliout a siuglo com

dent from their wondering eyes that 1
hud not spoken loud enough for them to

In about four Hundavs, 1 continued in
soliloquy, tlmt kind of extcmporo spereh
would enable your li tends lo loilow you
to tho graveyard. They would do so
witii a tereno wii'o of relief; nnd
when casting about far a successor, the
lirst question would be: "Do you write
yotii' seiinoiisT Jt no answered in i ne
negative, they wouui iaiu mm to
my resting place, point to my tombstone
and remark: "Our experience withes tem
pore sermons has not been all that could
be desired. Tho effort to preach with
out a maim script killed a promising young
man nnd came very near killing us. This
church is not inclined to eiicourng.) a
repetition of tho experiment nnd you had
better go somewhere else to die." Thus
consolingly did 1 commlino with my
self. I had been told Hint extempore
preaching is as stimulating as gymnas
tic exercise; but I found that it was
somewhat over-stimulaling to a man ol
my temperament nnd as an exe.cise I
discovered that it was rather violent
than healthful.
Tho worst criticism that was made on
my effort was my poor father's silence.
I think tlio old gentleman never
suffered so much in bo short a time. At
tho Sunday dinner it was his delight to
discuss tho morning sermon, and to itnli
catu in a very encouraging and flattering
Way tlio portions of it which struck him
as peculiarly effective. On this particu
lar Sunday not tho most distant allusion
was made to anything that hr 1
occurred In tho church. Indeed it v..s
evident that everybody was making th
gieatest possible effort not to allude lo
it, and nt the samo t'nno was afraid that
something which was snidouanollier sub
jectmiglit bo construed asanallusiontoit.
Conversation under such embarrassing
limitations is not only dilli cult but im
possible. To talk while standing on tlio edge of
a volcano, and with tho consciousness
that some trivial expression may possibly
have, without your knowing it, a diahol
ical double meaning, which may stall
tho volcano into vehement activity, is
not tho most enliving task in tho world.
I was positively burning to talk tho mat
ter over, in order to relievo l.iyself, and
every Uodv else was burning to express
for my position a profound pity; but it
would never do. 1 was both overwhel
mingly crushed and tremendously defiant;
but my father and mother took rather a
sad view of the matter, and would not
for worlds express their real opinions,
even if thoy had had a sullicicnt com
maud of tho English language to do it
justice, which thev evidently did not
have. So I sipped my soup and spoko
of the appaling condition of tho heath
en in Central Africa and then expressed
a very decided opinion that if tlio com
ing winter should provo a very cold ono
we should certainly have both snow and
ice, and continued by remarking that,
if wo all lived till spring and summer,
the temperature would probably rise and
tho snow and ice would possibly melt; to
all of which propositions my 'oving par
ents gavo their quick and cordial accent.
In his own original remarks my father ox
pressed great sympathy for sick people,
and, without seeing any parallelism said
that his heart always went out with po
culiar tendency toward a family one of
whoso members had been suddenly strick
en down with incurable insanity. Tho
dinner scason.was on the whole,far from
convivial, and the food eaten, if I may
judge from tho indigestion of tho after
noon, was not especially nourishing.
When, at last, I got in my study, I
locked thu door, and gavo way to ming
led emotions, in which positive agony
had its place. Such a Sunday afternoon
seldom falls to the lot of mortals. I
prayed oarnestlj for tho alllictcd congre
gation that tho cause ot religion might
not suffer on account of iny peculiar per
formance; and for myself, that my aber
ration, if it was that, might bo merelv
temporary. I looked over a vohuno of
sermons which wero sni Ito be extempore;
but did not find any that did in the re
motest degree resemble the ono I had
just delivered. I took a wretched and
cynical satisfaction in tho fuc that no
ono would ae.aiso mo of cribbing that
particular sermon from any celebrated
iiilhor, because such liroductioiis aro
never printed. I look an equal satisfac
tion in tho lacl that it my own sermon
were to be published, thero was no ono
in tho wide world who would think
worth wlnlo to steal it. It was too or
iginal, too unique for that. It would al
ways stand alone, the only one of thu
kind over preached, perhaps the only ono
ot thekind that over ought toboprcadied.

Suiibiiry nnd vicinity w.n (erribly
shocked last week, Wcdnosduy, to hear
that Geo. Hoover, a boy of fourteen
years, had shot his own sister Lottie,
aged about 17. Tho Hoover family live
in a pretty farm house, about thrco miles
from Siinbury, nestled nnioiig tho hills
on the road from that place to Siiyiler
town, and thu viidow, Mrs. Hoover, lives
with her family of eight children o'n' tho

tablished a dairy on Ids 'farm, and tho
business is Mill carried on by his oldest
son, Keiiben. There are threru boys and
fin' girls. Uouben nlid one ot tho girls
were in Sunbuiy when tho sad (ragedy
took plaeo. At the dinner tablo an alter
cation look plaoo between Lottie and
tieorge, when the laltor left the table,
and going lo another room, look a
double-barreled shot gnu and beforo ho
could be prevented, ran into tlio room
whero thu family wero at dinner, and
fued nt his sister, the shot taking effect
on the right sida of her neck, and tear
ing it almost completely completely away
and also her cheek. Mr. Samuel Fry,
who lives near Hoover's, heard' tho re
(ioi t of the gun and tho Kcfeams of tho

Ho found Miss Hoover dying. George
was nowhere to bo seen. Fry immedi
ately look two horses from tliu slabln
and started to town for medical aid and
to find her brother Uouben.
A. N. Hriec, Esq , held an inquest and
empanelled thu following jury: Will L.
Dewart, J. G. Hiight, James Seaulan,
Hugh Colo, .Tames Fry and Samuel
Fry. Tho evidence was that Georgo
had como to dinner lato and was scolded
by his ulsters, llo then Hew into a pas

dishes from tho table. Ho then loft tho

opened the door, stepped in and fired.
Thu room whoro tho murder was com
mitted was tlio out-kitchen. It is a
small two-story building facing tho road,
standing to the left nnd back ot tho
main house. Lottio stood in tho right
hand corner as you enter, putting tlio
dishes in a side cupboard. Georgo enter
ed, and without saying a word fired.
Mrs. Hoover was seated near tlio door,
while Alice was at the other sido of tlio
room washing dishes. The shot took
effect in tho neck, tearing and lacerating
it. Tho dying girl never spoke. Sho
was raised up by her sisters, but died in
