Cim''tTs' Journal. Select Siorv. HER WAITING. Clarence and Caryl both paused at Iho sight of her, making tho fairest picture they had seen since they started on their sketching lour, a month before. It was midsummer now mild July a fervent, sunny day; and they had loun ged along tho" country road leisurely, until the ardent boat and weariness, and perhaps jur.t a littlo laziness, induced them to get oil' the regular road, in among tlio great wooucu slopes on me hillside, whero a litllo rivulet of clear water foamed and lashed itself down from some icy mountain spring away up in the solemn fastness among Iho clouds, And in among tlio llickeiing shadows, standing in Iho crystal brook.holdiug her blue calico skirt up in her liltlo sunburnt bands, so that tho lovely contour of her ankles were so innocently displayed the little.battered hat of grass-and-daisy-wroathed straw hanging on her bare arm her dark,lustrous dark, hair gently blowing in tho breeze her great, won dering, dark eves shyly watching tho ap proaching travelers, who had halted so suddenly it certainly was as charming a pastoral as imagination could have invented, Willi all 1110 accessories 01 llickenii'r sunshino aud solemn shadow. purling water ami sighing wind. "What a picture !" Clarence said al most reverently. "What a face! See llio-io eyes, Caryl !" Caryl lauglieil. "Very iirelly very pretty indeed. Iiut. asloim as slio has discovered us, we may as well go forward. Il's glorious ool and rolreshint; here, lint I dare say wo vo a hve-nulo tramp ahead ot us yet before wu catch up with tho rest of cm." Thcv continued until they eamo up to the little biook, that effectually cut oil their proi'ress. Then v iarciieoiuieii 111s nai.aniismucti his own uraoioiis smilo that had set so inanv loolisli woman-Hearts to iiuiiking of him. "Tell us, ulease, if this is Mnuineo creek ; and is there any way of getting over Her little scarlet mouth suddenly par ted. in a brijjlit, sunny smile. "It is .Mauniee creek, sir.aiid tltero aro two wavs ot crossing it, it you don t mind a liltlo trouble. Slio looked down at their booted feet then up again at Clarence's admiiin face. "I dontbehevo wo would object to following any advieo you would gie." That same sweet caressing touo in bin voice that Kdith Sarloris thought the sweetest , music in all tho world that even at that very minute she was think iug of aud yearning to hear.as, sitting in her room at a senium Hotel, slio was reading his letter to "his own littlo dar I'm-'!" Aud Cordon Caryl saw tho same look bi ii'hteu in the littlo rustic- maiden's eyes, tho saiuo half delicious, half shy Hush delicately tint 111 Her clear Hruuttto lace that lio had seen in so many other woui ens taees. "ou can eiluer wado across, sir, or iuniii over it isn't more than six or hov en feet wide." A roguish littlo look rose in her eyes as sho suggested oolli jilaus. Clarence turned to Caryl, who had stood all tho while quiet nnd grave j but then unryl usually was muct ami grave, for nil bo was considered tho "best fel low of tho lot."

I never was an acrobat,ltit 1 can assure you I liavo no intention of being left out in tliu cold thlswny." And, with liis matchless uraco nnd coolness, ho sat comfortably down 011 a inossrock and removed Ins low, hand sonio slioes, and gray, crimsoned clocked Ftookingslisnlayed shapely l'ect,whito ns a woman's. And then ho stejiiied into tho stream, and when beside ll 10 young girl, paiwoil and bowed. "Will yon let 111c escort you to tho bank in safety." "Tt would liavo been imnossiblo not to have been nmtised by his niouk.elaborale courtesy; and slio smiled slinking her head; "Thank vou ! It is not at all nceess ary." And then they all stood on tho omio silo shore, whero Clarence donned silken hoso and Oxford ties again. Not till then did Caryl take any part in tliu conversation. "Wo are on our way to 1'ed Koek Lake," ho said, courteously. "Wo nro not positively suro wo nro on tho shortest road, or how much further wo have to travel. If you could only toll ns.Miss " A grave liltlo smilo supplied tho in terogniivc in bis ueslion. "My namo is listelle, aud I can tell you what you wish to know; but you are on the wrong road, if you nieau'to join the cumping out parly on tliu lake, up in thu mountains. I!y Ibis road you will have fifteen miles to go." Clarence gave a dismal exclamation. "Fifteen miles! and high noon already! That is appalling nows.Miss F.tollo; but of course you cannot know our knap sacks are empty, and I am expiring of starvation." Sho w.itehe.l his debonair, handsome face so cai nestly, yet so mode.-tly, while ho spoke; then he turned proudly to ward Caryl. "Tf you will be willing to slop nl our collage, a half mile up yonder,' and she pointed away up among almost impas-sa tile wooded slopcV'I will be glad to give you your dinners. (Jraiubiia and Unrle Tliuel will be pleased to see you, and it is directly on tliu right road to tho camp. I can show you the tents from our house tho lake is jut below, oil tho other side of the mountain." Her ready, fluent speech, refined and gently spoken, her sweet half-reserved, wholly dignilied manner, were most charming and girlish, and Caryl accept ed her invitation readily. "Wo will l)o only too glad nnd grate ful. Come, Clarence, you're eipial to climbing tho mountain, I hope?" Clarence sent a ulaneo to Kstellu's eyes. "Willi such a guide I'd follow the world over." Then, when a swift frown of displasuro darkened on Caiyl's face, the meaning of which he well knew, he purposely dropped behind him, and walked side by side witli the silent, lovely young crea ture. "Kstello! it just (its you,lhat soft, sweet melodious name." She flushed a trille. "1 am glad you like it J never did, I shall now," sho added in a curious, solemn little undertone. And their eyes met only ono brief look; but after that Kstello scarcely spoke a word on their toilsome up hill journey. l!ut "the arrival! Tired, lieated.hungry, though they were, they paused in raptu reus ecstasy at the inaguilieeul sight iiiead below them the glorious exjianso of lake, and forest, lower hills aud wiud- liver, distant town and nestling Hinges 'And you live here ? Caryl looked at her in though sho were a saint. She laughed her happy girlish laugh.

Algernon Clarence slit new bis name well enough by this time how he had managed, alter dinner while his fiicnd was talking with Uncle rimel about the hunting and iishin; thereabouts, to lind her out among thu trees, and have a jileasanljong tall; will her; when ho told her kindly friendly tilings, aud how ho hoped to bo allowed to como again olten, when tho campiii out paity leinained at tlio lake. And then lie told her that every night when daik came, he should lookup to tin cottage perched nit tho mountain side, and if lie saw always a light in the highest front window tho littlo window away tn in tho iieak of the roof ho would know she was thinking of him. Would she do it it ho would agree to hang a littlo wiiito Hag out every day. It was something so new to her, so romantic, so strangely, inexpressibly sweet, ami, wan ner young girls heail thrilled to its very centre, twtello shyly promised; and now tlioy were gone, o-moi row would ho remeuilier or tor ;et tho littlo Hag tlio sign that ho thought of her ? And the lirst thing her eager eyes saw when sho looked down through the clear ing mists in the vallev, next sunrise, was tlio pure white Hag, blowing exultantly lu tlio crisp wesieiiy ineeo) And at inglit, as handsome Clarence lay stretched on his hammock, ready to go to sleep, tho last object his la.y, blue eyes saw was a nny spoi 01 light Hko sonio near-by star, away up on the dail silent mountain sulci Tho bright Biuniner day passed nwav ami many nnd many a time Clarence idled away many n delicious hour witli tho kIii. who had learned to watch for bin coming, as.

Ho was a little cowardly about it, for ho knew ho could not promise to see her ever again, nnd lie dared not tell her about Hdilh Sartoris. Caryl had spoken sharply to him about it .11010 sliaiply than hoover had spoken before but Clarence had lau;hed it off. And gone out of Hstelle's life. That night tho light gleamed steadily nil the hour until the usual hour for its extinguishment, shining not for tlio lover Kstello loved, but for tho man who had loved her with all his soul Cordon Caryl, whom slio liked because lio was fi friend. That next day he went to say farewell and (hero was nothing for him to do but to tell her just how it was, and then to witness her anguish, her proud silent agony, that refused itself plaint or cry. "II you could bill forget him, Kstello ! Can you not forget hiini'nuil let me lovo you? Oh, child I if you but only knew how I had loved you from tlio very lirst!

"1 could never learn to unlove him.

The laily expenses for such an establishment are from $000 to $1,000. Acrobats and gymnasts begin their education at four to eight years of age, when their young limbs are pliable, and sometimes earlier, and continue their violent exercises until nearly .'0, when their muscles become too rigid for the work. Jt is a mistake to sujiposo that circus men lead dissipa ted and spendthrift lives. The exercise of their calling reipiires relaxed sinews, 1 clear head, and a body m coniileto health.

One of the most disastrous fires which this unfortunate city lias ever been nfllictcd witli, com menced hist night nnd was only got un der control at 0 o'clock this morning. Tho fust nlnrm was from tho corner of St. Oliver nnd St. Clairo streets at llslO o'clock. A few minutes later, tho bells from Ilasilicn, St. John's nnd St. Koch's churches rang out a second alarm, and thu wholo forco of tho II re brigade was soon on tho ground. Tho rcllection of tho flames was so visible that in n short time half tho citizens appeared to bo at tracted to tlio scene, and about 11:,'!0 o'clock all tho avenues around nnd lead ing to tho liro were so completely packed with pcopto that it was next to impossi ble to forco a wny through them. Tho scene in the vicinity of tho conlla gralion was utter confusion. Half of those present seemed panic stricken, nnd three-fourths of tlio others only added to tho confusion by ruiiping against each other nml really cortiibuting to the de struction of propci y, while believing they were helping to save it. Parents, partially clothed, hurried along in every direction witli infants wrapped in bell clothing in their arms. Cows and horses let loose from burning stables, rushed hnlf niaddc.cd through tho c.owd or stood dazed by tho uproar and confusion surrounding them. Tho firo originated in a stnblo of St. Oliver street, near St. Mario street. The Haines (piickiy spread to tlio surrounding wooden buildings and to tho stiects above nnd below. St. Oliver, Latourclle, St. Marc and liichclicu streets worn quickly amass of firo for somo hundred feet of each in ex tent, tl 0 Haines fiom tho other sides of tho streets overlapping in thoiniddle,and completely closing them to all trallic. Thu scenes common to all great tires wcro readily discornablo at this stage. even tlio police and firemen were to a great extent demoralized. Daring rob bery was carried on freely in full sight of everybody. Liquor stores and pri vale dwellings attacked by tlio Haines wcro ransacked tor liquor, which was openly drank by the low characters who infest the locality. Tho spaiks which everywhere llow from thebnrning wood en buildings nero themselves a terrib'e source of danger to Iho rest of the city. 11 was not uncommon to see men s hats and coats ablaze from the burning pieces of shingle which lighted upon them. Tlio lire brigade allege that four wooden houses were found 011 firo by them. "When they anived upon tho scene and with water absent and unat tainable for some twenty minutes it was impossible for them to obtain tho mas tery. Nothing was saved of St. John's church but tho sacred vessels and some of tho most valuable of the plate and furniture of tho sanctuary. Tho firo had jiossession of tho 1 1 .! structure in al most less space of time than it takes to read of it, and tho finest and largest church in tlio city was doomed todestruc turn. I he church was worth at least $100,000, upon which tho insurnnco amounts to only $10,000. At the foot of Juniper street, below 13erthlot market, the tlames hint crossed Irom tho lower side of St. John street, and from this point they rapidly progressed westward along that line avenue, keeiung pace with tho other divisions of the conllagra- tion opposite. Nor was tlio lire now confined to St. John street. At Juniper street it spread southward to liorthlol market jilace, destroying proiierty on Cabriel and St. I'atrick streets, as far out as there wcro buildings to bo de stroyed. A lower Held alono stayed tho progress ol tho lire. At fccott street the fire ran upwards toward Grand alley at a terrible r.-uo of speed, there being 110 water, men or hose, nor other aiijilianoes to stay it. (inly a gap, cr.used by tlio re cent conllgration here, stopped tho total destruction of tho whole street. Tin: nriiNr.D pistwot.

Ono of tho most remarkable displays of nature may bo seen on the Atlantic coast, eighteen miles south of St. Angus- uue. uii mninnzas unci ami inree miles from Bliorc, a mammoth fresh water spring gurglei. up from tlio depth of tho ocean with sucli force and volumo ns to attract tlio attention of all who enmo in its immediate vicinity. This fountain is large, bold nnd turbulent. It is notico nblo to fishermen nnd others passing in small boats near the shore. For tunny years this wonderful nnd mysterious freak of nnturo has been known to tho people of St. Augustine nnd those living nlong shore, and sonio of tho supersti tious ones liavo been taught to regard it with a kind of rovcrend awe, or holy horror, as tho obodo of supernatural in Htiences. When the waters of the ocean in its vicinity are otherwre calm and tranquil the upheaving and t.onbled appearance of the water shows uninistakablo eviden ces of internal commotions. An area of about half an ace rshows a troubled ap pearance something similar to tho boiling of a washerwoman's kettle. Six or eight years ago Commodore Hitch cock of the United States Coast Survey, was passing this place and his attention was directed to t'o springs by tho up heaving of tho water, which threw his ship from her course ns sho entered tho spring. His curiosity becoming excited by this circumstance, he set to work to examine the surroundings, and found six lathoms of water everywhere in tho vicinity, whilo tho spring itself was al most lalhomless. Stirring tlio Water. A gcntlcnianof Philadelphia furnishes 111 interesting point in connection with tlio locent revision of tho New Tes tament. It w:ll; lio observed that tho miraculous stirring of the waters of tho pool of Piethesda, as told in tlio fifth chapter of St. John, h:N been omitted by the revisers. This was dono because, from tlio documents in tho possession of tho two committees, there was reason to believe that tho story was spurious, and has been unwarrantably inserted in tho translations of tlio original. The part omitted reads: "For an angel went down at a certain season into tlio pool and troubled tho water; whosoever then lirst after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoev er disease he bad." This stirring of tlio waters, which in the early days of tho church had been ascribed to supernatu ral causes, co..slantly occurs nt u spring in Kissingen, Germany, aud is duo to natural conditions. Tho medicinal qual ities of the spring are strongest when at a periodic lime tho surfaco of the water is stirred by a curious effervescence re sembling the action of boiling. It is be lieved that from such n spring originated thu insertion of tho alleged miracle in tho New Testament. Illl. MOTTS HNPOItSCMUN'r oi sennit s cm I'.UU.VTIlIt 1'OItT C.ltAl'i: WINK.
