"I am dad, Bridget, that you lmvo told me about this poor woman. I run impressed that I can make her comfort- mile. "God bless you, Mrs. Currier," quick ly exclaimed the warm-hearted washer woman. Mrs. Currier hastened up stairs to make her street toilet. Her sweet face wore a sad, thoughtful expression. She somehow felt ns though sho must go and sec this Mrs. Lovell; she seemed to bo forced onward bv a power far stronger than her generosity of heart, than her charitable inclinations. Airs. Currier was a very benevolent lady, and took a pleasure in administering to the poor. It was only one year since she had graduated from a fashionable boarding school mid became tho wife of Henry Currier, a millionaire, who took his lovely and accomplished brido to his elegant homo in the metropolis. r 1 . iiirs. turner soon nccamo a society favoi ite, and yet she sought out tho poor and distressed, trying to alleviate their trials and wants with so much earnestness anil deep feeling that one would almost imagine that sho had some time in the course of her short life dwelt in the midst of poverty and wretchedness. But it was only her natural innate goodness that made her remember her duty to the unfortunate while she enjoyed all the luxuries that wealth could secure. It was a bright, lovely morning in April, 187-'. Nature had donned her rich garments of tinted greens, and somo of Flora's offerings had come to '.addon the eyo and pcrfumo the air. The shade trees that were scattered hero and there imparted to tho crowded city an air of almost rural freshness, anil tho beauty of the Httlo parks re called to tho passers-by the charm of rusticating country rambles, rippling brooks, and tho sweet seclusion of groves musical with tho love notes ot a thousand feathered songsters. It was not long before tho fashiona ble lady and favorite child of fortune was picking her way through one of uio uiruesi. siieets in an woutum Bridget led the way upon arriving at the dingy abode. Tho steps were broken, and the basement room con tained only ono small window. The soft spring never entered this wretched place where liltli reigned supreme, in a corner of the room, lying upon an old straw bed, was a woman, who looked so pale, so ethereal, with her bright 'olden hair Jailing over her alabaster iiko shoulders, that Mrs. Currier gazed in wonderment upon tho beautiful sleep ing invalid. Biidgot crossed herself and softly whispe.ied. "The poor ereatur', she's dead, lor sure. A few rays of sunlight now stole in to the dingy cellar through the door that the visitors had left partly opened, anil seemed to timidly creep along tho stone lloor up to the siiffurer and expos ed moro vividly her pallid tace. Mrs. fJurrier wiped her eyes, but the tears would come. She gazed around tho room no sign of comfort was there The place had the appearance ol a cave, and the dimly heard noises of tho great city seemed like tho dis tant roar of tho ocean. Tho invalid moved nnd opened her great blue eyes. Mis. Currier stepped u little back nnd motioned for Bridget to advance to tho bed "How do ye fale now?" asked the washerwoman, in a pitiful lone of voici-. "Tho same,'' answered Mrs. Lovell, again opening her eyes. "I'vo brought somebody who'll bo a menu to yees, said lindget. "I need no friends," answered Mrs. Lovell, sighing. Mrs. Currier now approached tho rick woman, and taking her thin hand into nor solt palm, said, in a gentle, sisterly uiamier. "You aro very ill, and 1 have come hero to befriend you, to havo you re moved, it possible, to a cointorta' lo place." Tho sick woman opened her oyes and earnestly gazed at Mis, Curlier. A faint sinilo played around her delicately lornu'd mouth; she raised her right hand, and slowly galheiing up her golden hair, in a low voice said: "It Is too lato to nuke mo comfoiia hie, hut I thank you fur coining, l'leaso out olT my hair.' .Mrs. Currier was somewhat staitled on hearing this strange rcimcnt, and. glancing at tho beautiful tresses, she kindly said: "It seems a pity to cut olf your love ly hair; when you aro well you will need it." "I am dono with it. O, how proud I was ot it once. ' Again unt invalid siowiy ran her fingers through tho golden tresses, nnd then reaching out her hand she drew Airs. Liirrier elosu to her and whisper on: "l'leaso send Biidgetawayi I would like to say something to vou. The woman is kind to me, hut I do not care for her to learn my secret. When Mrs. Loyell saw thnt she wns nloue with Mis. Cnriier, she wildly pressed her hands together and suids "How kind my God is to send you ueiui i iinvo long wisucd to. men will some one whom I could trust who would bend my hair to Knghuul. Yen look surprised at my reipiesl, Alusl you iiou i kuow my sail History, "I know thnt vou are very ill, dear, nnd I nin hero to befriend you." "1 tlinnk you thank you. now beautiful you lookl A real lndy and cnine to this wretched place 1 Will you do tno a great favor 1" 1 will try to: conhdo in me. What do you wish?" "Uul oil my h.ur lirst plense, nnd ion I will tell you who I nm." Mrs. Currier took tho scissors from the stand and gathered up tho rich tresses. Her eyes filled with tears; sho hesitated, und holding the scissors half open, she feelingly asked: "J )o you really wish mo to cut oit your hair?" "I do, answered Airs, ijoveii, nriniy. "There it is off, and I nm sorry," said Mrs. Currier, laying tho hair down on tho bed. The sufferer gently raised her hand and tenderly smoothed the disheveled locks, exclaiming in a childlike man ner: "How much I used to think of you I and dear grandma, she loved you too I :nd how he worshipped your beauty many times his delicate lingers havo fondled you 1" Mrs. Lovell's voico became choked with weeping. She pressed her small, shapely hands to her forehead and groaned aloud. Airs. Uumcr excited all her nmiience in soothing the poor woman. "I do believe I could uio in pence it I could tell my sorrosvs to some onol" "I deeply sympathizo with you, said Mrs. Currier. I appreciate vour kindness," said Mrs. Lovell; "and 1 will trust you with my story. "Airs. Lovell looked wildly around the room. For a moment sho seemed greatlv excited. With an effort she partially controlled her feelings, and speaking in a low tono, said: "1 was born m Manchester, lingland. My parents died when I was an infant. Aly grandma cared for mo. bho gave me a beautiful honie,'whoro'l lived very happily. I loved her, and yet I wrong ed her. It is just two yeats ago to morrow that I was married to an Amer ican gentleman. I was 1C years old. ih I how my dear grandma cried when I told her I was married. Sho nover iked my husband. In three weeks' time 10 was obliged to return to this country. He promised to como back in two mouths, and said wc should never again bo parted. Tho two months at last ex- tred, but without bringing the beloved one. Oh, how anxiously I watched lor lim, and how dear grandma tired to comfort me. Months passed, and no tidings came of tho wanderer. I could ear tho suspense the dreadful wait- ng no longer. 1 stoic away Ironi lome, came to Amenc, and searched everywhere for Harry. All my trouble las been m vain. "As a last resort to find my dear husband I inserted an advertisement in the Herald's personals, and so worded it that if it meets his eye ho cannot fail to iccognize it as coming from his wife. 1 hope he 11 come betoro 1 die. 1 must seo him once more and learn from his own lips why ho has deserted me. Oh, I would like grandma to havo my hair, l'leaso write to this address, and say that I am sorry for tho heartaches I mve caused her. Tell her that ray great lovo for Harry mado me moro wretched than happy. Do not let her know how wretchedly I die." Alts. Lovell was verv much exhaust ed by the exertion of talking. She closed her Byes and gavo her hand to Airs. Uurrier, who assu.ed the poor woman that she would carry out her request, and would also have her prop erly buried if sho died. At this moment tho door was hurriedly pushed open mil a gentleman quickly walked up to the bedside. Airs. Lovell started up, and screamed out in a wild, frantic tone, "Harry! ny Harry!" and throw hersolt into the gentleman's arms. lie hem her close to his breast, fond kissing her brow, cheeks, and lips, and then smilingly gazing into her pale lace, ho exclaimed in loving tones: "Dearest Fanny, O, forgive me. I lave not seen ono happy hour since we larted. Tell me, darlin ' wife, that you forgivo mo aud lovo me still." Suddenly tho gentleman grew pale; 10 stared wildly at the sufferer, and tiokly laying her back on tho pillow, 10 cried out: Great Heaven! she is dead!" Ho turned to gazo about the dismal room, when his oyes glared wildly, his face became ioro pallid, his whole body shook with fright. There stood his gentle wife a witness to his crime the living and the dead victims both there tlrey were before mm to appal his tuny soui. .Mrs, Currier was shocked, grieved, mil absolutely terrified. In a second all the sunshine of existence was for- ovei darkened, The golden tresses again crossed the ocean, hut when they arrived in Eng land the old grandma was dead. Airs. Currier never reproached her husband with words, but her pale face and wasted form censured him moro than language could havo done, nnd when in sW mouths' timo after this sad exposure Harry Uurrier laid his wile away to rest among the dead, Ins heart bade farewell to nil happiness. Ho still lives surrounded by wealth, but no riches can erase from his memory the evil thnt ho has committed, Ho often repeals to a near friend who knows his history, "tho wages of sin is death."

Prnctically, petroleum has beoomo tho light of the world in tho broadest sense, being found in tho cabin of tho pioneer, In tho subterranean haunt of the miner and In tho mansions of tho refined nnd wealthy. Even tho barba rians nnd hnlf civilizcd races havo adopted it hecauso of its excellent illu-' initiating qualities aud its marvelous cheapness. American petroleum lights the dwellings of Jerusalem, tho rock temples of tho Upper Nile, tho Indian bungalow and the homes and temples of China nnd Japan. Somo idea of its relative cheapness when compared with tho old illumina tors may bo obtained when it is stated that it can he bought nt retail of tho ordinary grocer at from ten to fifteen cents per gallon, whereas in tho old days sperm oil and camphene sold at from scveiity-fivo cents to one dollar and fifty per gallon. This cheapness has driven out of tho mnrket every other form of illuminating fluid, nnd it is of great importance to tho world that has bceomo so accustomed to its use that the supply shall ho .maintained or something equally cheap and avail able be found as n substitute. Its an imal production has arisen from a few hundred barrels in 1859 to thirty mil lions in 1882. Yet in all thnt timo the demand lias so near kept pneo with the supply that tho immense surplus of upwards of thirty million barrels now above ground would not auswer for two yenr's supply if the production were cut off. It ranks third in .vahio as an articlo of export from tho United States, brcadstuffs nnd cotton, nlono ex-, ceeding it. When wo reflect that wheat and cotton are tho productions of a vast expanse of our territory and that petroleum is tho product of half a dozen counties in ono corner ot our own Stato tho forty millions annually which our own petroleum exports represent simply seem astonishing. How long can this immense supply be kept up? This question is being asked with a good deal of earnestness and anxiety by tho thoughtful men who havo embarked their all iu tho business. Whilo it is quito possible that petroleum is being constantly generated, yet tho process is so slow as to bo of no practical valuo in keeping up the supply. Tho history of the petro leum developments teaches that tho rich fields aro practically exhausted in from ono to five years after being opened. Thero arc many of the rich est oil farms along Oil Creek and its tributaries which at present aro not producing a s'rglc barrel of oil, whilo nuny moro furnish o.ily tho smallest modicum of their former production. It is only a question of timo when tho Pennsylvania oil fields will bo among tho things of the past. How much time will bo required to exhaust them at tho present rate of production? This cannot, of course, be answered with any degree of certainty, but thero aro many of tho veteran oil men who do not believe it will tako near as many years to deplete tho balanco of the Pennsylvania oil deposits at tho present rato of production as it hns taken to bring that production up to its present status. The drill has pretty effectually de lined tho extent of the field in which productive teiritory may bo hoped for. The southern limit of tho oleaginous belt may be said to bo fixed by a line drawn from Kittanning, in Armstrong county, to Saxonburgh, in Butler county. Tho oil bearing rock nt this southern extremity of the field dips so far below sen level that the oil was either never generated bore or elso it has been forced to higher levels by tho salt water contained in the rock. A cordon of wildcat wells which failed lo find anything but gas has been drilled at various times and places in Western Butler, Mercer. Central and Western Crawford and Erio counties. lhcso experiments mav bo said to iavo' practically defined the "Western limits of the oil field. Coming East, t lino drawn from Smethport, on the north, to Leecliburg, Armstrong conn ty, on the south, will nearly outline tne general course of a cordon of drv holes and gas wells which havo been drilled near Wilcox and Millstone in Elk county, Stump Creek in Jefferson and Leechburg in Armstrong and which clearly limits tho extension of the field to tho eastward. Theso ex- leriments, then, confine tho product ive territory to tho counties f Butler, Armstrong, Clarion Vcnapgo, Eastern Crawford, Forest, Warron and MoKean. The available territory in tho first five named counties has already been prac tically exhausted, although it is quito probablo that a number of small pools of tho Pithole and Bullun order may yet bo lound in either ot them. Ale- tvean is on tho decline, its productive territory being clearly defined and much moro than half oxhausted, leav ing only Warren and Forest to yet bo tested for virgin territory. Tho great leiiosits iust being opened in Cherrv drove township, Warren county, aro now supposed to comprise about 2,500 asres, leaving a good deal ot lighter territory to be tested in Southeastern Warren and all of the Eastern Forest practically undrillrd. But nt tho rato at which drilling is now prosecuted it win tako less than two years to drill over tho whole field sulllciently to tell pretty near what is there. In Forest the (Srandins. L. F. Wntterson. tho Enterprise Transit Company and other wealthy land-owners hold large tracts. which they can keep from the drill for a long timo if thov seo fit. which thev will probably do if the price remains ns low ns nt present. Thero are. therefore uoi a low old operators who aro con hdently counting on tho present Cherry (novo developeiiu'iit as the last big held thnt will ever bo opened up to the .1..U11 1.1!.. .1 ' .!.. . e iiiiiuiu iiiiuuu, uiuy expeciiug, ot course, thnt the largo tracts in Forest county nbovo described will bo held nnd operated leisurely by tho mesent proprietors. Civil engineers like Whig. ley nud Opperman have already under taken to furnish approximate figures showing the remaining supply of Poiin sylvunia petroleum ami indicating that much more than half of it lias already ueen nxiiausted. Tills, of course, is very uncertain, but there are many tilings to liuucaio that they aro righ in their conjectures and that tho end of theso marvelous supplies of olongiiious weaitu is not inr vlt. But the world must havo petroleum or lis equivalent. Whet; tho l'enusyi vauia fields are exhausted, can tho sup ply bo made good from nil other Holds! This question is hnrd to answer. New York hn? somo rich deposits, which nro being rapidly exhausted. Tho belt however, may extend much farther north nnd new fields bo opened in that quai tor. The wlld-oat drilling has not yet been thorough enough to finally de termine tho extent of tho New York petroleum deposits. There is known to be oil in West Virginia, Kcntuekoy, Tennessee and California, but tho rich ness of tho Pennsylvania fields has pre vented anything hko an.oxhaustivo test Ot tho extent and valuo of theso depos its. Russia has somo very rich teiri tory while several of tho European countries lay claim to large deposits of oloaginous wealth. But whether any Or nil of these prospective fields shall be able to fill tho demand mado upon their resources when tho Pennsylvania deposits nro exhnusted can only bo do terminal when tho energetic Pennsyl vania oil operator is forced to leavo his favorite fields nnd begins to bounco tho busy drill in tho now districts.

The Times. The Colorado Oanon, Cnptnin Dutton's Report, iust now ublished, illustrates tho features of tho ogion, portraying tho magnificence of its various parts by remarkably effect ive views and word-pictures, besides describing its geological structure and history. It has nowhere a width less than its lentil, and is generally of much greater width; and over part of tho broad area aro crowds of mountain towers and temples, 3,000 to 5,530 feet in height, with combinations ot amphitheatres. alcoves, buttresses and towers alomr the sides; and all is open to the sunlight i no scenic eltects ot the out-cropping formations depend greatly on tho hori zontal bedding; but also largely on tho unequal spacing of tho beds, tho varia tions in hardness tending to make cliffs to alternate with taluses; at longer or shorter intervals; nnd on tho diversities in shado and brilliancy of ootoring. Tho architectural forms, though on a mountain scale, aro literally architectur al, and different in typo for the differ ent formations. We quote a few para graphs from tho descriptive part of tho Report: "In an hour s time wo reached tho crest of the isthmus, nnd in an instant thero Hashed before us a scene nover to bo forgottcu that of tho temples and towers of the Yirgeu. At our feet the urlaco drops down by elite anil talus 1,200 upon a bioad and rugged plain cut by narrow canons. 'The slopes, the winding ledges, the bosses of protecting rock, the naked, scanty soil display col ors which aro truly amazing. Choco late, maroon, purple, lavender, magenta, with broad bands ot toned white, aro :iid in horizontal belts, strongly con trastnig with each ether, and tho !ever arying slope ot tho surtaco cuts across them capriciously, so that the sharply ucimed belts wind about like tho con tours of a map. From rLht to left across tho farther foreground of tho icture stretches the inner canon of the Virgen, GOO feet in depth and hero of considerable width. Its bottom is for tho most part unseen, but m ono place it is disclosed oy a turn in its course, showing tho vivid green of vegetation. Across the canon, and rather more than a mile and a half beyond it, stands the central nud commanding object of tho picture, itiu western luiupic, rising i,- 000 feet above the river. Its glorious summit was the object wo had seen an hour botore, and now the matchless beauty and majesty of its vast mass is all before us; yet it is only tho central object of a mighty throng ot structures wrought up to the same exalted style, and tilling up tho entire panorama Directly m front of us a complex mass of whito towers, springing from a cen tral pile, mounts upward to tho clouds Out of their midst, and high over all, ises tho dome-like mass of tho temple which dominates tho cntiro landscape. It is nlmost pure white, with brilliant streaks'of carmine decending its verti cal walls. Tho towers which surround it are of inferior mass and altitude, but each of them is a study of fine form and architectural ettect. They are whilo above, and change to a strong, rich red below.

A Strange Story. A young man by tho namo of Micah Sherman, tho oldest son of a widow living in the town of Hampden, on the Penobscot River, lind been in failing health for somo time, and thinking that a sea voyage might bo beneficial, ho started in tlio barque Templar, Cnniniu S. Bartlctt, for n voyage to Liverpool and tho Chiucha Islands nnd from there home. His half-brother, Mr. Joshua Sher man, now of Uangor, wns lirst oinccr f the shh). It was from him wo had this singular story. it seems that tho poor uoy tionveu no advantago lrom tho voyngc, out steadily grew worse until nt Inst, when near Uapo lloin, he seemed to no in the last stages of consumption. Ilo lay in his bunk tlio greater part f the time in a sort of drowsy state. One day when his brother visited his sick-bed he suddenly said "Joshua, I havo been home and havo seen mother, and don't yo think, sho is married again 1" "Why." replied his brother, "you have only been dreaming." "No," ho said, "I have surely been home, and mother is married again nnd the houso is full. Her husband has brought his family there, and ono of his children, a young girl, is sick." A day or two afterward ho said ho had been home again, and added that the sick girl coughed all the time. Alter a number ot days had elapsed ho said, "Well, I havo been homo again,and thoy have moved the pig stye and somo of tho other out-buildings," also saying that the sick g'ul seemed much worse. His brother paid scarcely any atten tion to theso visions, thinking they ero simply vagaries of a sick man. inally one day ho announced that the ck girl was dead. Said he, "I went sick ! homo and they were having hor funer- al. A few days after that bodied. When the brother got homo he found that his step-mother married again and her hus band had quito a largo family there, andthatono ofthe children, quite a oung woman, had died. Upon comparing dates thov louiitl that the girl had actually died and was urica on tho very day the boy hail de scribed, and all he had said was true, oven to tho removal of tho buildings. lroosfiooi; Republican. Comparatively few of those who have been in tho habit of whittling pino shingles, etc., and who during their whole lives have been accustomed to seeing pine wood used for almost every purpose in tho building of houses, manufacture ot lurmturo etc., havo a iroper conception of tho value of this nut ot timber now. Just as wo as a people have acted in many other di- eclions so have we doll and are deal ing with our whilo pine forests. There ppears to have been a combined ef fort on tho part of a largo portion of our people to ex'.enninato them in tho speediest possible manner, and it is duo to them to stale that they aro on the high road to success. Pino lumber to day, that is, lumber of lirst quality, is daily growing moro aud more scarce, and consequently much higher in price. It is now among the most costly of our woods, and unless :t speedy cheek is mt to tho destruction of the pine for ests of the Northwest, tho day is not ar distant when piuo sticks for whit tling will bo too costly to bo applied to such uses, and pino timber will bo more aluablo than mahogany or walnut. In regard to tho latter wood, it is well known that the country is almost de nuded for it, and that the attention of builders und furniture nianiiff.cturers are now in eager quest of a substitute for it. In regard to the rapid disap pearance of our pino forests, wo have tho authority of a government bureau tor staling that at tho present rato of consumption there is less than tweh'o years supply ot that almost liidispensi- bio timber, this is certainly an. alarm ing fact, for although l here is yet a vast amount of untouched forest' land in the United States, nono of it con tains trees that in point general util ity will furnish lumber at all compara ble with the whito pine. All this is in direct keeping w th tho spirit ot exter mination that has manifested itself iu so many other directions. The buffalo, tho tteur, the partridge, tho seal the iish in our lakes and streams, and oven those of the ocean, are rapidly under going tho process of extermination. It really seems as though there was con certed action for tho accomplishment of theso destructive ends. And yet tho government is an apathetic observer of these enormous wastes of many of our most important natural resources. Two or three generations henco tho disas trous effects of this worse than insr.no lolicy will bo felt in its fullest force. fhoso who live then will realize more fully than we tho short-sighted govern mental policy that tolerated such worso than vandalism.
