About seven o'clock the uirl llitied down the stairs to thn miuintei's study. "Well, uncle, do I look liko a city uirl now 1" The tratHlorniatioii was eoinpltte. Heforo she had dlsaipertreil from tho lea table she w.n a perfect specimen of a beautiful New York u'nl from tiiu l"p (which wasn't very far off) of her pufl-ci owned bead to tho tip of her French kid hoot, which peeped from a dress of threo niarvehmsly mingled ehades. Now a demure" maiden stood before him in a simple, neatly-fitting while duss. A blue ecaif was tied around her waist and her hair, arrang ed in four heavy curls, drooping to tho ends of tho sack, was tied back from the sparkling faco with a blue ribbon. 'Whv, little niece, befoio supper you were 'MUs MoKiiinoy, of Madison Siiuarc,' and now you nro a country clinsy. "That's jut what 1 wauled j on to say, uncle. Molly is afraid I won't en iov myself; but I'm gome to show her. , Doesn't shy look nice t I'm afraid the j young farmers won't look at mo.1' j "Now, Nell, no tlatleVy 1 Come, we ' don't make a point of being late. Come, I father I" Tho immense room which had been cleared of all furniture except chaiis, was well filled. Nellie was much amused by tint way the youths all got by themselve", . as far from the gills as tbey could; Lul she restrained her smiles and took ob ervntiniH instead. Among the young men she noticed many tall, splendidly developed figures, with' fine heads and intelligent faces, who were evidently longing for the re straint to'be .broken. Shu could not help comparing them with the gentle ' men of her set nt home the bewhis kered exquisites among whom she had searched for an original idea. Nellie's little head held a good deal rf common fonse ; although one of a glittering social circle, she had always taken tho glitter for what It was woith, knowing that theru wero 1 etter things in life. I5ut now affairs began to grow live lier. Somo one proposed blindman's buff, and a moiry scurrying around bo can. Nellie had plenty to do to keep herself from being caught, for it was no feint at tho ancient game. At length her turn came, ami tho blind man touching ono of thu thick curls, swiil instantly : "Miss Molly's friend.'' So she stood quietly for her iyes to be , liaudaged, anil then Willi a quick spring, caught some one standing m ar. liul that was judged not fair, so she was turned around and asked : "How manv horses has your father t" and set free. A long chase and her fiiigors en countered Rnmrtliing. It was a coat sleeve, and Nellie's little hand straying up taitlier lelt a s'lky whisker. JNow, Nellie had been introduced to a fine, nnuly fellow, with brown whiskers, so nhe guessed it must be he; and so it wa -"Mr. Grey." The game piocieded amid laugh and shout, until, breathless, they stopoed Then tho forfeits began. Twirl the platter was plajed, and .Nellie was forced to give up tho ribbon which bound her curls. In suspense she heard her sentenro pronounced : "Tno lady must take a genth man and walk around thn house twice; tho second t'mo they may kiss and come in. John (Jrev is the gentleman " 'Oh, M .lly 1" Nellie whispered, "I can't ! I had rather stay in here and do it. if I must." "Nellie, you said you'd be a country gill, just as the rest. Them isn't one hero hut would give her oyes to bo in your place." So Nellie, poor child, was escoiled by her lall cavalier out, amid the great laughter of the company. Once they walkul around tho bouse, nnd when they reached the door the scond timu John Grey stopped and suid "Miss Munroo, I will releasu yon from this pait of tho forfeit if you wMi; although it would give mo the most intense pleasure to tako it.'' Looking up, Nellie met bit eyes looking down at her with nn inexplica ble look She murmured something about "very kind,'' and he continued : "The only recompense I fhall nk will be the privilege of escorting you homo this evening, and of keeping this ribbon when you have done with it " Nellie liul up her curls, and they walked back very composedly among the waiting young people. Tho evou ing ended with tho "ugly mug," a dunce by all, standing as in tho Vir ginia reel, nil singing and acting : "I put my uglv mug in, I put my ugly mug nut, I give my ugly mug shake. shake,shake, And turn myself about." John Grey valked homo with tho cousin, and Nellie, slippod the, ribbon into his hand at parting. Lovo at first sight thorn may not bo such a thing; but it oertiiuly happens that when two pure souls look through oioh oi Iter's eyes, tho world is never quit-1 tho sauio after that. Mr. Grey was a different stamp of ut.vi fr"m any Nollio had met before. Unsuspicious Molly answered NeJ. lii 's qip-ries by giving her bis history, His father Irid died leaving his mother very poor, ami her sou by untiring ex erliou h id pild his f ith-r's debts and bought .t S'iuII fifii whuro ho livoJ, supporting Himself mid mutuur. fl ii I if lit If f it ft BLOOMS BURG, PA., FRIDAY, MARCH 27. 1885. "He is not very rich nor very stjlish, ! I know, Nellie; but you must not laugh ' at him, for I think ho is one of tho ' bist men that over livid; and so does father." L'lttgb nt him I I giifs not; but Nel lie thought of him n good deal. Sho didn't euro to havo him see her in her Inshiotuible attire, knowing (wise little head) that she would have much better chaneo to get well acquainted with bun if ho thought her the samo little cottony girl "whoso ribbon bo had claimed, instead of the kiss be bad k i ouricoii"! y refrained liom taking. When , Nellie's elegant costume ceased to make their appearance, and her dainty cambric morning tlresos were kept on nil day, and John Grey began to drop in the puponagi; sitting room quite often Molly began to scold. "Nellie Munroe, yoli shan't flirt with John Grey I I wouldn't care if it was some men, but him no, you must not 1" Hal Molly's month was stopped with ft kiss, while Nellie said : "Now, Cousin Molly don't spoil my fun; I promise you I won't flirt.'' The parsonage sitting-rcom began to becomo to John Grey a heavenly place. Ho ofton fel', a pang of remorse, as he sat by his invalid m ilher, and felt h r society was no longer all in all to him. Then bis thoughts would wander away, and ho would picture to himself a litllo figure, with brown curls, flitting through tho looms, leaving tokens of nor presence everywhere. Then he .vtmld start up and tako his hat, affec tionately kissing bis mother, and say ing he would bo buck soon. And Nellie her face no longer sparkled, but a soft light bad come over it, miking her so beautiful, Dr. munroo s.aul : Lit tin niece, you should come to us every summer. 1 can see an improve ment every day.'' "You eauoy uncle 1 So you think 1 need impiovcment,1' "1 mean ir. heallh, child; you know I want to send von back to brother Dick ns fat and rosy as my M lly." fllolly, growing wiser, saw the change, too, and sighed toheisrlf. She, too, hail liked .John tirey; but she was too sensible a girl to feel badly for what could not bo helped, and that sigh changed into one of pity for Nel be; For Molly knew Nellie's wealthy parents and their proud lovo for their beautiful daughter. But Nellie's father wrote her now to "come home, she hud been away long enough;'1 and that evening sho walked with John (ti-ov down to the gale. There, with the moonlight shining softly down, she told him sho was go ing home tho next da). After a pause, ho said : "Miss Muuroe, your visit hero has made this summer very pleasant to mo, ai:d I am loth our aiquaiiitauce should cease.' May I call on you, when you have returned to your homoi" That was all. Nellie felt her heart stop beating, and she stood silont for an instant, and then drawing heiself tip, she held out her hand. "Certainly, Mr. Grey. I should bo most happy to see you. Good-by." "Ah, NVIlie. ! darling, not good by, until I tell you something more.'' Aud then the moon heard tho "old, old story," n. sweet as when it was first told in tho bowers of Eden. Tru ly, Eden comes back again at such times to lovers, and lasts to those thai love faithfully until they pass lrom life to tho better Eden above. "t'shall como and get your parents' consent very soon. I bopo they will not think I acted dishonorably in gain ing their daughter's lovo when away from them; but I could not help it'' Then Nellie felt a shock, as sho thought what might her father and mother say. Her ardent feelings bal carried her willingly along; but' now, for tho first time, with dismay, sho thought of what sho might, bo call ed o i to bear. But youth is always hopeful, so she said nothing to her lover of her fears. 'Yes, John, como as soon as yon can. I shall waut to seo yon very much. Take this to put with the rib bon," and sho took from her bosom a blush rose. So they parted. When Nellie told her uncle ami con-in, Dr. Munroo I lid his hand gently on her head. 'Lutli' niocc, so you wish to bo a f ii tiler's brido I You lovo a 'urines among h's fellows,' Nellie. May God bless you 1" Molly hugged her closn. "It will be lovely lo havo you always near; w'lat will vour father say V "Oh, M'llly, I dread to think ! John lovos me, and I know all como right." Honestly, Nel'io told all when but But will she reached home; and meekly bo wed her head to tho expected storm, It came. Mr. Munroo paced up and down tho room, while bis wife wept and bid her face, "And this is all my hopes for you have como to ! You loso your heart to a country boor ns soon as you aro asked for It, Do you expect I'll re ceive such n man for my son V Nellie crept to her mother. "Oh, mamma, don't turn from mo! I love him as you loved papa." 'Nellie, your father was a gcntlo man," "Hut you haven't seen my John." Her mother turned and kised her whisboring ; "I know, Nellie, you would never lovo one who was not worthy of you t but you must not disobey your fath er.'' "IIel--n, go to your room. I am dis appointed in you. Go 1 When von. repent of your folly corao and tell inn and I will receive you again as a daughter.'' Nellie wont, feeling, poor child, that but for her mother's sympathy sho would bo desolate indeed. Sho wrote to her lover how things wero and asked him to wail patiunlly trusting in her lovo. Tho elegant house echoed no longer a swi"t voice; thu piano-forte, in tho drawing room, was silent; for ibu fingers which woko such melody wero busy in other ways. Quietly Nellie was noticing and learning ev erything done about her, She was fit ling herself to b" a farmer's wife. At GMssaiere, .1 ihn Groy missed his sunbj i'n moio aad mnro every day, and ileleriniitwl b-fore l ui ' to tako his fat in Ills own hands nod faoi NuIIIo'h f.tther. At tho diuuur tablo one day Nellie noticed an unwonted, troubled look on her father's face. Going up to him, she said : "Dear pnpa, aro you not well t" Sho fully expected to bo coldly mo tioned nway; but for tho first lime slncu her return homo hex father put his arm mound her In tho old, affection nto 'i)i, nnd said : "No, my daughter, I am not very well." Then hastily rising, ho loft tho room. "Nellie, what can bo tho matter with your father t" exclaimed Sirs. Munroo. "Perhaps ho is going to forgive me, mam inn.'' That year had boon a disastrous one for busino-s. Many wealthy firms ot long standing had fallen, and their fall bad ruined others. Mr. Munroo had seen tho crash coming for Homo time, but bad delayed tolling Ills family. It bad nlways been his pride to keep them in the most luxu'ious ease, and now he knew had known for somo time there would o dy be enough honora lily saved for thorn to live with tho closest economy. His own heart feel ing troubled, for thu first time ho saw clearly how wronly ho had acted to waul Nellie. Ho was not an unkind, man, only veiy proud. As bo left the table that day he ha I made up his mind to tell them that night. The evening came, and n passer-by glancing through tho richly-curtained windows into the brilliantly-lighted rooms, would never hnvo guessed the aching heart in thi library. Mf. Mun roe snt there, leaning his ho.ul on his hand, and nerving himself to tho or deal of telling his dnar ones of tho pov erty awaiting them. A ring sounded sharply through tho hall, and n gentleman wished to sou Mr. Monroe on business. "If it is on business ask him into tho library, Joseph." A" tho butler opened tho massive carved aud gilded door before him, John Grey's heart sank to zaro. It was indeed foolish for him to havo come there. Ho had no idea Nellie, his fresh little flower bloomed amid such magnificence. As he entered Mr. Munroo courte ously greeted him and invited him to bo sealed. Thn older man's critical eye rested with pleasure on tho noble figure and fine faco before him. And the thought flashed through his mind, "if Nellie had only chosen man liko this bow differently should I bo feeling now." Then to his astonishment bo learned that this was "tho country boor," as ho had called Inm. Ho saw how foolish bo had been in not knowing h's daughter could never choose one less than a gontleraan. But it was too late now, and ho had that to tell which would render positive her unhappiness. Briefly ho told of the impending ruin, and that oven then ho had it betore htm to tell his tamily. John Urey sprang quicly to Ins ieet. "Mr. Munroe, in giving mo your daughter without a cent, you give mo the greatest fortune a man could havo. Mav I, dare I hope ! I am not rich, out 1 have everything ono can need, and many comforts beside. My wife sh ill b' clicrisbo 1 as a miser cherishes his gold." Gri-ping tho hand extended, Air. Monroe said : 'You aro a noble fellow ! I havo ben wrong. Wait hero and I will send Nellio down to you." And John waited. S ion ho heard a rustle down tho stairs, through the hall and tho door opening; there entered was it. Nelbo T a delicate, nchlv-ilressnd littlo lady. with her silken lobe sweeping around her, stood before him. Hat John soon found it was Nellio when two soft arms wero clasped a-o'ind his neck and a sweet voice said : "Mv John I I knew it would all homo right." ihey wero nianicd John and Nel lie without a long delay, by tho good minister, who know and loved them both. Mr. Munioo saved enough to live plainly with his wife, who br.avoly clung to him through all the trying tune. Oar story ends with a plot nro : At tho farni-houso door stauds a lit tle figure. Tim curls are done up now. for Nellie is a matron, but few will cluster around the white brow, disdain ing restraint.

Everyone dreads this provalont disor der. Its coming is sudden, Its termina tion usually speedy. What ciuses this terrible scourge? It is not "in tho nir," infectious or contagious. It rcsulls from exposure, clu.nges of wealher, prevails more among men than women, mote among thu apparently healthy than among thii feeble. Pneumonia, wo are told, is invited by a certain condition of the system, indicated if ono has occasional chills and fever, a tendency lo colds in the throat and lungs, rheumatic nnd neu ralgic pains, extreme tired feelingi, short breath and pleuritic stitches in the side, loss of appetite, b ickache, nervous unrest, scalding sensations, or scant and discolored fluids, heart Hut terings, sour stomach, distressed look, puffy eye sacs, hot and dry skin, loss of stio igth and virility. These indica tions may not appear to-gether, tbev m ly c-iine, dis ippear and re ipntur for years, tho person not realizing that they are nature's warnings of a coming cala raity. In other words, if pneumonia does not claim as a victim tho persons hav ing such symptoms, somo less pro nounced but more fatal maladv certain ly will. A celebrated New York physician told tho Tribune, a year ago, that pneumonia was a secondary disorder, tho exposure and cold being simply the agent which develops tho disease, al ready dormant in the system, because j the kidneys havo been but partially doing their duty. In short, pneumonia is but an early indication of a briglit's diseased condition. This impaired ac tion may exist for years without the patient suspecting it because no pain will bo felt in tho kidneys or their vi ciuity and often it can bo detected only by chemical and microscopical exami nations Nearly loO of the 740 deaths in New Yolk city tho first week in March and in six weeks 781 deaths wero caucd by piK'iimonia ! The disease is veiy obstinate, and if the accompanying kiduoy disorder is very far advanced, recovery is impos sible, for tho kidneys give out entiiely, and tho patient is literally suffocated by water.

Both are well watered and ex tremely fei tile. Hutaiha has the lar gest and most proui'nent brooks, Gen ncsaietb tho most numerous and nbun dant springs. Tho old traveller, Burek hardt, says that tho Arabs of tho Hu taiha havo tho earliest cuctimbcis and melons in all this region. It was on Ibis plnin, at the foot of tho hill or "lell" we were now Approaching, that Josephus fought the Romans under Sylla, concerning wltich battle ho says: '1 would havo performed great things that day if a certnm fato had not been my hitidinncc, for tho horso on which I rode nnd upon whoso back I fought fell into a quagmire and tin ew ins i to the ground, and I was bruised on my wrist and was carried into a certain village culled Cttphernomo or Caper naum." Tho tell which iie from this plnin about a mile and a half from thu bike, is thickly strewn with ruins, consisting of hewn blocks of black basalt, with which in tho ancient times all tho bouses in this region were consiruciod ; but as yet no traces of any large build ing have boon discovered.

Indeed, one is much struck in ex ploring tho ruins of tho country by the limited areas which they cover. I am afraid to say how many sites of mined towns I havo visited, certainly nut less than forly ; nnd I think one could ctowd them nil into the area occupied by tho uiiiis of ono largo Egyptian city Arsino" in tho Fiiyoum, f r in slaneo; but then the ruins of nu Egyp- tm" cit)' nro composed mainly of inounds of postherds, while these con sist, of large blocks of building stone, either limestone ur basalt, measuring generally two feet or two feet six ono way, and a foot or eighteen inches tho other.

M anlime, even had I been pro vided with tho requisilo tackle, I should have been.obliged to forego the temptation. It was on tho steep rise of a hill, about a hundred yards from the river, that my guide suddenly stop, pod. Hern was a small collection of Arab hovels, recently constructed, and it was in their search for stone, lat I summer, that the nalivt s had for tho first timo uncovered the ruin which now met my delighted gaz. I found my&clf in tho presence of a building the character of which I had yet to determine, tho walls 'of which were still standing to a height of eight feet. The area they enclosed was thickly strewn with building stones, with building Iratments of column", pedestals, oapi tals, nml cornices Two at least of tho columns wire in situ, while Iho bases of others wero loo much concealed by piles of stone to enable mo to deter mine their original positions. My first impression, from tho character of iho architecture which was strewn about, was i bat this was formerly a Roman temple; but a further nnd more e.atd fid examination convineid in that it had originally been a Jewish syna gogue, which at a later period had , been converted to ano'lier use ; prob ably it had been appropriated by tho Byzantines as a basilioia or Christian church. This was tho more probable, 'as tbo existing walls had evidently been bu'lt upon the foundations of a former structure. The massive stones wero set in mortar, which is not tho case with the svnagognes hitherto dis covered ; nnd I should doubtless havo I been completely nt fault in classing ' this building bad mv attention not .

The building meas ured 45 foet by 33, which is exactly tho measurement of the small syna gnguo at Kefr Hirim. Tho columns wero exactly of tho samo diameter.

Tho two columns in situ exnetly answer in position those ol several of tho synagogues, and though tho position of tho door, which was in tho lentrc of iho western wall, was somewhat unusual, this was ac counted for by tho fact that tho build ing bad been "excavated from tho hill side, so that tho top of tho east wall, nluo feet of which was still slandiiip', wns level with tho surfnee of tho slopo of the hill. Tho only convoniont cntrnnco was in tho wnll of the side immediately op posilo to it. Tho namo of this most interesting locality wns Eddikkih, a spot hitherto tinvlsited by any travel ler. Indeed, if it had been visited, it would havo btcn passed unnoticed, for lia antiquarian treasures navo only been revealed for the first timo a few months ago. Tho word Eddikkih means "platform," a name, considering Its position, not inappropriate ; but I have not been able to identify it with any Biblical site.

Meantime thu few wild looking na tives who inhabit this remote locality clustered around me, as they watched me measuring and sketching, with no little suspicion and alarm. "See," said oao to another, "our country is being taken from us." My request for old cuius only frightened them the mote. They vehemently prottstcd that not ono had been found, an assertion which, under the circumstances, I felt suio was untrue ; nor did the most gen tle and reassuring language, with tenders of backshish which was nov el tholes greedily accepted tend to allay their fears. I have forgotten to mention what was perhaps the most interesting objctofall, and this was tho cm ved figure of a winged female, waving what seemed to bo a sheaf in ono hand, while) her legs were doubled bickward in a most iiucomf citable and ungraceful position. It was on an iso late d slab about six inches thick, and two feet ono way by eighteen inches the other. The area of tha hillside all around was Mrcwu with the blocks of building stone of which tho town had been built. It had apparently not been a very large place, but as tbo villagers will probably continue their excava tions for their own purposes next sum mer, it is not at all unlikely that tbey max bring some mote interesting re in uih to light.
