Ada Caifit was dccidi'dly tlio belle of Sliarboroiipli : and as that small but bustling Midland town had a reputa tion among its neighbors for lovely lasses, the distinction was a great one, In figure, the girl was somewhat small and slight ; but in feature she had.attaincd almost to perfection, both of outline and tint. She- had a lofty, well propoitioncd bro,r, around which rippled rich waves of auburn hair. She had eyes of dreamy blue, checks just Bufliciutilly- tinged with delicate carmine to throw into relief tlio pearly whiteness of her teeth. Tho worst of it was, she know that she was beautiful, and the knowledge spoiled hcr- Ada was the only child of a wealthy Sharboroiigh manufacturer, and added to her other charms that of being an heiress. Naturally she had suitors not a few. But ladies Clara Vero do Vero can exist, in much lower circles than that of tho poet's faulty heroine, and Ada Carfit had caught tho vice of a pro .id coquetry. Sho relished her power over suscep tible hearts and hIio did her best to ex tend it. Tho breath of homage was a life to her. She led her wooers gently on till the toils wcro all around them, and then, of a sudden, they found an impalpable, impassable barrier erected, and Ada's smiles were for new comers. It was an amusement, half tho zest of being, to her ; sho nover wasted an anxious thought on what it might mean to her victims. Men were strong and must protect themselves. The last to enter the charmed circlo had boon a youth from tho North, who iu appearance and manners was cer tainly at a disadvantage with those whom ho quickly came to consider his rivals. Roger Herlestonc was two-and-twen-ty ; but his thick-oet, burly figure, and his abundance of beard, made him look years older. He was heavy in feature, uncertain in movements and awkward iu ad drcs? As the nephew of Mr. Marston, of Marston ifc Marsh, cotton-niill owners, his prospects were very good. But the knowledgo of this fact some how failed to give liim the needed self confidence. Roger's many blundeis made him to tt large extent tlio butt of his male ac quaintance, and it was probably this that caused Ada Carfit, out of sheer opposition, to treat him with marked Javor. I'hiliii Dare, tho lawyer, had likened Rogers to the proverbial "hull in a eliina shop :" and Philip Dare should bo mado to bite his lip with vexation at her defcreiico to the despised one. But onco again she was kind only to bo cruel. "I cannot tell whether sho cares for me, or whether sho does not," said Roger) Ilerlestono to his younger broth er, lUaruti. "ooineuines i inniK ono thing aud sometimes another. But this I am sure of, sho is all tho world to me." "Then I d ask hor, old fellow." "But but she lias always so many around her. Ada Cm litis tho queen of a largo circle, and 1 ." JIavo been tno best ot sons, tlio best of brothers, nnd 1 havo no doubt, would make tho best of liuibamls. "And I," said Roger, rustiming slowly, and paying no heed to this en- tliusiastio praise, "am a rougu aim homely man, whq has almost as good a right to (Ircain ot becoming- I'tuno Minister as ot winning such a wife. "Nonsense, Roger I JJoif t bo so un necessarily modest. You are just as good as she, nnd tho girl muut know it" "Then," and tho elder's tono changed suddenly s "I'll nut it to tho ti'St and rco. If Ada refuses me, it "will bo just another dream dispelled, and I shall face tlifl worst. Tlio opportunity soon came. Tho two were thrown much together nt a summer piomu party, ami soiuo malign genius mailo Ada mor than over gracious. It seined to her that sho had suc ceeded lu thawing tlio ico of her ndmir er's awkwardness, and tho studied coin plimeuts ho paid her awoke tho gleam 01 a Hiiiiuy, Hausucu smile. She little suspected tho commotion that was was working beneath tho aur face. They had wandered out of sliiht and J Hearing ot tlio rest, o.n nreteuco or cx nmining somo curiously shaped rocks. "How still tho nlr is, tinder tho sun 1" said Ada stooping at a low fenco that crossed the hillside. For a moment her companion did not answer, and sho ea9t a casual glanco upwards at his face. What Ada saw tlioro mado her start and slightly shiver. "Yes,' ho said with a hoarso and mighty effort, "this is just tho turn 'of the seasons, and this hush is very fro- qucnt and suggestive then. You and I havo como to a turning point, too, Miss Car lit, and I must break tho stillness by n very important question. Can you not guess what this is tho story I havo to tell, Miss Carfit Ada 1" "No, no. Wo had better return, I think. Wo shall bo lost, Mr. Ilcrlo stone." Ada was keening her coniposuro wonderfully, and sho hoped by this coldly spoken hint tho confession sho teared might be averted. oho did not know tho speaker. "Wait an instant, Ada, ' Roger cried, abandoning the last shelter of reserve j "I have this to tell, that you aro moro to mo than anyone else iu the wide world can ever be. I lovo you, Ada surely you must havo divined it 1 Can you love mo back again, however I it. tlo 1 Will you somo day bo my wife?" His words wero coming Bwiftly enough now, aud his beseeching eyes emphasized their truth. 1 ho man was transformed and a faint response of admiration was raised iu the girl's heart. JJut he was could be no more than others she had rejected. This triumph she was used to, and gloried in ; though usually sho had been better on her guard, and had stopped tho deluded one before this stage was reached. "I am sorry, Mr. Ilerlestono, you havo said such things," she replied ; "I thought you were above romance. That is partly why I trusted you. You seemed so so sensible." "It must surely bo a sitrn of that to admire and to love." "Pray don't, Mr. Ilerlcstone. It is all a mistake, I assure you." A mistake that you can ever care for mo?" "Yes, certainly." There was a lovity about tho assur- aneo that stung the young man well nigh into madness. Jle had heard ot tho girls heartless- ness, and had paid no hoed, treating them as idle scandal born of envy. jnow ho could believe. Tho very reality of his own love re vealed the hollowness of this maiden's smiles. 'Is it also an error that encouraired me to think differently ?" ho asked : 'that you accept my advances !'' "Jit was your own lault j you did as you pleased. But you aro forgetting yourself now, Mr. Ilerlestono.'' "1 admit it, and i apologize, Miss Carfit," ho replied, bitterly. "It was truly my own fault that I did not un derstand. 1 do now. You will let me see you hack to the party V ino return walk was whucd away by a very constrained conversa tion and both wcro glad when it was over. A etrango silence descended upon da Carfit for tho rest of the after noon. Even tho mirth of hor other courtiers failed to do more than calvanize her into an outward semblance of interest aud good-humor. II. It was manv months later, and the storms of, perhaps,, tho wildest winter within living memory bad dcRcended upon these Northern Midlands: i'or day alter day and week alter week, thero was scarcely a break in the clouds or a pause in" tho gale. AViud and rain, wind and rain was the dreary record, until tho lakes wero swollen, tho streums impassable, end miles of low-lying pasture-land submer ged. bhaiboroutrh was not a nlcasant place under such circumstances.

I ho statu of the roads was a nitioh moro serious consideration. 16, 1883. mMttrivn How high tho waters were, and still rising. Many houses in tho valloy wcro ah ready isolated, and unless a speedy change look place of which, alas I thero was no symptom tho result must inoyitably bo gravo disaster. Tho wind lulled for an hour or two whilo Roger transacted his business. But it nroso in redoubled fury as ho commenced his return journoy. Darkness added to tho ditllculiy and tho danger of the route. Turning Blinrply round a corner into Baysditch Valley, Roger was hailed by a terror-stricken voico behind him. Ho pulled hastily up. "What's wrong t" no nsked. Pant, pant, pant 1 nnd then a white face with awed, dilated eyes gleamed upon him in tho mist. "Porley Dam bo imrsten 1" "No 1 sure 1" Roger comprehended in nn instant what that messago meant, and his ac cents wero as hoarse as tho straugsr's, "Ay ; certain. 'Tis tearing through t' embankment like a cataract, Gettin' bigger every minute, and noano can't stop it." "Then Baysditch must bo flooded t" "Yes. I bo goin' to warn 't." "Jump on here." And Roger drove as if for his own life instead of other people's. Tlio alarm soon spread, and a scene of terror aud confusion ensued .tthich might havo appalled tho strongest. Water was swiftly rising in tho single village street, and tho mutter of the onsweeping torrent grew louder every minute. Homeless, and sadly deficient in both food and clothing, dozens ot families fled to tho hill side while there was yet time. Whero wns Ada Carfit lodging ! Milton Villa, old Lnko Carfit's home, was somo distance beyond the cluster ing villago roofs, nnd Roger experien ced somo delay in reaching it. The inmates only three in number besides tho two maid-servants, wero just alarm ed, and their retreat was cut off before oven Roger was aware of it. Ada was as palcasdeath,biit strangely calm and self possessed. Roger remembered after wards how, at lea3t onco in that hour of awful peril, her eyes were fixed on his ns if they would read his very soul. It was a timo for action and not senti ment. From tho edgo of tho lawn now tho bed of a roaring stream the ground trended gently away to tlio up lands, and thero tho only " hope lay. It was moro than probable that tho house would give way under tho ava lanche of water which had still to descend. "Porloy Dam" was tho cur rent designation of tho reservoir that supplied all Sharboroiigh. Roger Ilerlestono swam across with his horso and turned tho animal loose. Then, estimating as best ho could tho distance and his own powers, ho re turned nnd briefly explained his plan. Thero was no boat within reach.

They will also recall tho fact that, attacked wan consumption and reduced to a skeleton, lie was obliged to rcniovo to tho Rockies in the hope of saving his ino. Mono thought ho would succeed. Last fall, however, the editor of this paper met him nt the head of the Re publican river, bigger and more robust than over, " Why I thought you had died of consumption long, long ago, Elder V "MoT" I never had consumption, man I though people thought that was what ailed me, and I thought so my self. But tho doctors had sent me on a wild-goose chase after a dozen other diseases, just ns fatal, and this was the wildest one ot all. The good Elder then recounted to us. in a charming vein, his many advent ures in the rough nnd ready life he had led, " but,'! '1U sa'd "remarkable as you may think my warlike life has been, I have a much more iutcrestincr story to ten you." " lou know what a roach, noisy el- low I used to be: and I could stand any hardship.

YKAIIS by a more dangerous unseen enemy that was ever getting mo moro com pletely in his clutches. I was shot at by an Indian in a fight on the plains, but tho wound healed rapidly and gave me but little trouble. After I returned to Kansas and commenced preaching, I urst began lo givo away.Kl had a dull feeling. Dr. Butler, our family physi cian, said my liver was out of order, caused by tho malaria of the bottoms. I had always had an appetite like an ostrich, but my digestion became seri ously impaired. While on tho circuit preaching, 1 consulted a doctor, who said I had dyspepsia. After that, dis tressing palpitation of the heart follow ed, and the physician said this was caused by my indigestion and diseased liver which would" probably terminate fatally. Sometimes I had a ravenous appetite, at others nono at all. I was feverish and chilly. My food seemed to do mo no good. A specialist told me I had a tape, worm ! Then 1 was troubled with unusual quantities of water and a frequent desire to urinate, which was dono with groat difiiculty and great pain. The specialist said I had a touch of tho gravel, caused by use of the alkaline water of the plains. I then began to suffer severe pains iu the loins and the small of tho back, ac companied with sudden attacks of diz ziness, during which I had to sit or ho down, to avoid falling. I was forced to abandon TRAVELLING AND PltUACHING, becauso I could no loncer ride on horseback, or trust myself out alone. I began to bo seriously alarmed, and sought tho advice of tho most noted physician within reach. He said that my frequent horseback riding had jolt ed and jarred ino until the old Indian wound, which had lmured my kidneys, had become inflamed. IIo treated me with medicines and electricity also, but gave me no permanent benefit. My painful symptoms all returned. I bo. gan to cough, got very thin and my legs were uisagreeauiy numb. 1 began to despair. At each attempt to cure, my ailments became woib0,with new symp toms. I next consulted a celebrated physician from tho East, who, after thumping nnd examining me, stated that I was in an advnnced statre of consumption and threatened with dia betts ami paralysis I IIo thought I might possibly prolong my life for a year or two, by seeking a higher and drier climate. This was my condition when tlio peoplo in vour part of the country last saw me. Ihen I started for tho Rockies but liked this country, and settled hero. At first the change helped me, but about tllleO VeafO mm till, linnr.fit r-nncnl Then I failed so rapidly that I could be out of bed only part of each day. All my old symptoms returned.

One hundred and forty students now attend the State Agricultural college in Centre county. Quito n number aro ladies. The institution has not been a success since its establishment and in.or- er to nscertain the cause of failuro.and also to investigate certain alleged abu ses, the legislature two years ago ap- lointcd n special committeo to cxamino to tho charges. Un this committeo arc Msvsrs. Mylin, Newiueycr, Colburn, Noma and Alexander senators and ex-senators, and ex representatives Mil- ham, Byerly, McClurc, Mapes, Findlay, Judc.'o and Roberts, with Representa tive Hall. Tho report has been brought before both branches of the legislature. As it covers only 1,122 pages it is not likely to bo read. Tho special commit tee have signed tho same with tho ex ception of Mr. Byerly, late of William spoit. IIo did not sign because ho is now in Texas, interested in cattle droves and not in colleges in Pennsyl vania. Tho committee reports that they find all tlie vouchers of the trustees correct. This is tho usual preliminary to a hite-wash. Yet they do not use this purifying political compound any fur ther. They censure the old board of ustees for neglecting to givo proper attention to the college's concerns, and state in the report that neglect nipped the college s best interests in the bud. They censure the agricultural societies of the State for never selecting or elect ing one of the thirteen trustees to which they are entitled Action of that sort throw the government back upon the local management and General Beaver, the report says, was compelled to take entire charge. Aluch credit is given him for his action in the premises. One of the recommendations calls for tho abolition of the State experimental farm? in Cluster aud Indiana counties, and the establishment of a central sta tion similar to the 127 stations in Ger many, which have been patterned after ith much success in Ohio. The committee makes the repot t a otnpleto history of tho college. It gives the protest ot tno atate (Grangers, which protest was made on me grounds that tho neglect was in teaching the classics to tho detriment of farming. Hon. Victor iu 1'iollet specially reterrcd to that exception in his testimony. Another abuse referred to at length is io Westgrovo farm, in Chester county, where a State appropriation of $5,000 made the total amount of inaugurating tho experiment 818,000. This farm, tho report says, has been a great drain on the college nnd much help to the farmers of Chester when they wanted blooded cattle. Tho Chanceford Farm ers' Club, of Chester county, havo re ferred to this farm largely in their dis cussions. The committee, in closing its report, expresses tho opinion that tho trustees made honest mistakes ot judgment, but the statement is made that the failure is largely duo to the lack of interest taken by tho agricultural classes iu tho State. Banqueting General Lee. Tho banquet to Gen. Fitzhui'h Leo and the other visiting Virginians in tho Mansion House in Brooklyn last Friday night was attended by a large number of military guests in unifoim. The dining hall was hung with flags, in cluding banners from tho Virginia National Guard stores. An orchestra played Southern tunes, and when tho strains swelled into Dixie there was a loud applause. When the smoke of cigars began to curl, Col. Austen rapped for order and said that n the gathering ot old soldiers who tad met on tho field of Battle as foes, thero were new emotions which be tokened iu this, country a fraternity and spirit of reconciliation thathad come to remain. When General Fitzhugh Leo was called upon tho musicians struck up "Olo Virginity," and Gen. Leo could not continue until ho was cheered three times and was onco moro treated to thu regiment's " Fizz boom nh cheer." Gen. Leo in tho absence of Gen. Rogor A. Pryor, who was to speak to tho toast of Virginia, spoke to tho combined toast of "Virginia and Our Guests." lie said ho felt like Col. Vauco at tho bat tle of Malvern Hill, in trying to storm battery, who on seeing a haro run down tho hillside pointed his sword in the lino ot duty and, looking toward the retreating "rabbit, said, " Go it, Molly Cottontail, If I didn't havo n reputation at staku I'd bo with you." Virginia felt now that it was ono of tho great sisterhood of States, determined that tho Union should nnd must bo maintained. This wns now a great country, bounded on tho north by ico mid on tho south by bananas, and if any ono tried to enter it ho was apt to slip up. There were loyal hearts now beneath a boutherii sun, and they wanted to maintain the era of reconcil iation and good feeling. It could not bo dono by calling the Southerners "rebels," or by calling Northerners " cantnnkerous Yankees." Somo timo ago, when two New York Senators re signed from tho Senate, peoplo down in Virginia began to look up their rusty swords, in the suspicion that New York was going to try on secession. " Wo havo a Notional Guard down in Virginia," said Gen. Loo, " that is watching this Union." Why ho disagreed: "Disagree," said the juryman, "of couiuo I did. D'yo think I'm such a comuionplaco lunkhead ns to havo no opinions differ ent from the cloven donkeys I was as sociated with! I disagreed, sir, as a matter ot justice lo mysell, Jloston I'oiU
