It aolies and ncliec, until I almost wish that I could die. Lay your hand here." Maliel's cheek paled as hor mother tcok her hand and pressed it against her temple. Situh fire would soon burn nut life's flickering taper. She wet a cloth and bound it 'round the fevered head. As she did so tho sick woman gave a sigh of relief. She opened her eyes and turned a grateful look upon the girl. "Do you know, Mabel," sho said feebly, "I dreamed last night of tho dear old homo whciM we lived before your father died. You were a wee toddling baby then. It seems to me, if I could have somo of tho (lowers that grew in the garden in lrontof the house, the very smell of them would cine me." Tears rushed to Mabel's eyes. They lived in tho great crowded city, and they wcro poor. Mabel could not spare from her scanty hoard even tho trilling sum for which sho could buy a bunch of (lowers from the vendors who were stationed at so many different places along the stieet. How could sho get somo of the fra grant llowers for her mother t Suddenly came a thought of an old fashioned mansion a little way out of tho city. It was embowered in a wil derness of bloom. Surely it would bo no harm for her to go and ask for some tlowors, they could but rcfuso them. She bent over tho invalid and kissed her. "Mother,"' sho said softly, "if you will bo content to stay alone for a few hours I think I can gratify your long ing if not for the blossoms that grew about your old homo for somo just like them. I will ask Mrs. Gray to come in and give you your mcdicino regularly." Mrs. Gray was a kiud-licaited woman who occupied a part of the house in which liny lived, aid stio readily consonted to minister to the invalid's comfort in any way she could during Mabel's absence. It was not without a tremor that Mabel at last found herself in a broad, lu-atly kept path which led to the (.ivvimic mansion. A huge mastiff sprang toward hi'ras she neared tho bouse. 'Down, Nero ! Down !'' Tho speaker was an old gentlemati, who evidently feared that the approach of tho dog would intimidate Mabel. Hut Nero contented herself with a good-natured sniff, reserving his fiercer side for a more suspicious paity. His master looked pleased to see Ma bel pat his head fearlessly. Tho truth was, now that sho wa9 in the pres ence of the stately-old master of tho place, her heart failed her, and sho was glad of an excusi- to defer asking for the llowers. "Well, Miss," ho said courteously, "can I do anything to put you in the way of finding tho person you arc seeking ?'' "It is you sir. 1 came to ask you for llowers for my sick mother." "l'ick all you want. The more tho belter. You are welcomo to all you can carry." Just then Mabel heard a clear, ring ing voice shout: "Grandfather 1" and out of tho cool, tiled hall, of which an enchanting glimpse wasvisiblo through tho open door, came a voulh wlio looked to her like somo prlnco from a fairy land. Sho was not accustomed to the lux urious habits of tho rich, and his dark blue diessing gown, fastened by Jits shimmering, woven gold, and tho richly embroidered smoking oap which rested on nis curly lieau, seemed to uer alto gether too gorgeous a toilet for a mortal like herself. lint tho illusion only lasted for a moment. A pair of brown eyes, just tho color of a ripe chestnut, glanced at her curiously as their owner came down tho walk. "You aro just tho ono I want, Cliauncey. Got ray pruning-shears and a basket off tho tablo in the lower hall, and bring them to mo." Cliauncey soon returned with the do sired ai tides, and Mabel found herself following Mr. Gwinno into tho garden. She was soon laden wilh fragrant spoils, and sho was sent home rejoio ing with a kindly: "Come actaiu when theso aro faded," from Mr. Gwinne. When Mabel reached homo mid her mother saw tho llowers, sho put out her hands with a delighted exclama tion. "Give them to me, child, quick! Tho very Kight of them gives me new strength !" And when Mabel put tho fragrant cluster in her hands, sho held them to her faco in a muto caress. After a while sho turned her eyes on Mabel, with a look in them that start led tho gill by its intensity. Sho was not liko Mabel, who was slight and pale, and who looked oven inoio childish than her years, wilh only her heavy mass of rippling curls and her dark, appealing eyes to re deem her faco from absoluto plainness. Sho had evidently onco been a woman of form and magnificent beauty. Kvuii now her great fover-bright eyes and hollow cheeks bore a weird, spec tre liko semblance of health, but it was delusive. "My darling," sho whispered, "you have brought mo a blessing and you shall bo rowarded. To-morrow I will throw prido to tho winds and dictate a letter to my father which shall rcstoro my child to her rights. Oh, Mabel, nature is an unerring teacher, and In your lovo and obedience to me I havo, at tills lato day, learned a lesson of duty. I was, when young, carefully educated in all but that most import ant of lessons to a child, filial obedi ence I was brought up to think that my own wishes must bo gratified at any coslj nnd when I met and loved your father, instead of waiting patiently to gain a consent which my indulgent pa rents could not long havo withheld to our union, wo were married clandes tinely. My ono effort at reconcilia tion 'was not successful and and but, darling, I am too weary to say any more. Another day 1 will finish my story." BLOOMSBURG, PA., Hut when tho morrow's sun shonu into (ho room, it wns to rest, liko a voiceless bcni'diclioii, upon a clay-clad fonn,( and tiiion a mothrrleis girl alone wilh it and tier sorrow. At first tho desolate ohlld for Ma bel was but fourteen was conscious only of her bereavement. Hut soon came a thought which brought wilh it such keen pain that It aroused her to Instant action. Her darling mother must not bo laid away to rest in tho Potter's Field. Sho would go to the kind old gen tleman who had given her tho flowers, and csk him for help In this trying hour which had como to her young me. ono lounti mm at Home. "Oh, sir." sho said piteously, "n niv mother is lving cold and still, with nil the sweet lifo gone out of hor beauti ful boily 1 on are kind and rich. 1 know it is a groat deal to ask, but if you keep them from laying her in a charity grave I will pay back every ponny you spend." The pleading, tear-stained face, the childish yet womanly ways of tho self reliant littlo creature, thus pledged to fulfill a duty which would entail long hours of labor and days of anchorite abstinenco before it could bo accom plished, touched a chord in Kundolph Gwinnc's heart. "Go home, littlo one," ho said gent ly, "and mourn your dead. Do not fear; I will seo that all needful ar rangements aro attended to." After all was over, Mabel settled down again to her monotonous routino of work. Every week sho scrupulous ly laid aside a portion of her earnings ami carried mem io mr. uwinne, wlio took them from her with apparent in difference. The child had made a contract with him, and out of respect to hor the man of business carried it out to the letter. At livtt tho final payment was made. As Mabel turned to go, after thanking her benefactor, his voico recalled her to his side. "Littlo Mabel," ho said, "I havo been an interested spectator of your manner of lifo since you and I made our bargain. I have seen your checks grow palo for want of tho food you persisted in denying yourself, that you might bring your weekly hoard lo mo, and I wondered if ono so young would bo able to carry out so high a resolve. You have succeeded and all your lifo long jou will have it lo remember. Now, your part is done, and mine bo gins. Give mo your hand, my child, for Randolph Gwinne respects you. More than that, ho loves you well enough to ask you lo becomu bis adopted daughter. Coma and make your homo with me. You shall have ev ery advantage that bountiful means can provide. You will havo no objections, Cliauncey, my boy, will you T" as his grandson came into tho room. A few words explained his meaning, and Cliauncey turned his handsome eyes indifferently toward tho hesitating girl. It was not tho first tirao thoy had met as Mabel was conscious in every tibro of her sensitive being, but Chauucoy did not remember her. So tho careless but good-natured "of course, grandfather, ono moro or less docs not matter in this great house," sank deep into Mabel's memory; to riso again to tho surface and influence her futuro long after Cliauncey had forgotten them. So it was that Mabol was domiciled at tho Gwinues. A governess was en gaged for hor, and musio and uainliug lessons soon occupied tho time not en gaged in her studies. Thus a year passed on. One morning the daily paper was brought as usual to Mr. Gwinne, as ho was sitting at tho breakfast table, sip ping coffee. Suddenly an exclamation from him arrested Mabel's attention. I la had read a notice asking for tboiknowlodgo of the whereabouts of ono Ilachel Krccland, whoso married uamo was Wynne. Her only surviving parent had died, and she, if living, was solo heiress to a largo fortune; if dead, her children would inherit. "Well I remember poor Rachel,-" said Mr. Gwinno musingly. "She was the handsomest girl I ever saw. Sho gavo up nil for love, and raado a clan destine marriago with a man of whom her parents disapproved. I wonder if sho is alive 1" Mabel roso from tho tablo, aud wont to Mr. Gwinno. Sho was very pale, but her eyes shono with oxcitement. "Uachcl 1'Ycoland was my mother's maiden name. Oh, my kind benefac tor, how littlo you know whoso child it was you wero befriending ! Hut for you sho would bo sleeping in a naino less gravo 1" "Truly, tho ways of God aro mys terious!" said tho kind-hearted old gentleman, taking oft his spectacles to wipe away tho sudden mist that blurred them. Mabel had no difficulty in proving her claim, as her parents' marriage cer tificate was found among some papers stowed away in tho chest. So tho or pliau waif adopted by Randolph was now independently wealthy in her own right. Mabel was now fit teen. Sho had not changed much in personal appear anco during tho year ofjier stay at tho Gwiunes'. She was still Blight and rather undersized. Her complex ion was rather sallow, and though her features were regular, stio was undeni ably plain. Her luxuriant shining hair and lustrous eyes, were, however, sufficient to redeem her from positive ugliness. Cliauncey was still a student, coining homo only for his collego vacations, aud then burying himself in his be loved books, so that ho was visiblo only at meal times. Suddenly Mr. Gwinno's health failed, and ho was orderod abroad. Mabel aud Miss Clay, her govcrnoss, accompanied him. Thoy remained away from homo threo years. Then word camo to Cliauncey thoy wero coming homo. Thoy wero tired of travel, and Mr. Gwinno had ipiito recovered I. is health. Chaunooy met them at tho station. He was handsome and iudiflcrcut-look ing as over, but was truly, in his ap ncaraucc, a king among men to Ma bel's partial eyes. As tho littlo party ho had come to meet drew near, ho gavo his grand father a cordial shake of the hand, and turned towards Mabel, to find himself confronted by a tall, stately girl, with flashing dark eyes, set in a face of Biich loveliness that ho was, for a momonl, iiazzio J FRIDAY, JULY 31, "I bog your pardon, I thought it was my cousin,' ho said, turn I tin to tho other lady. Hut when Miss Clav's familiar feat ures met his oyos, ho askod: "Whero is Mabel, have you loft her behind t" "Don't you knoiv me, Cousin Chauu coy t" asked a morry voico besido him, and tho bcautltul apparition ho had mistaken for a stranger put out her gloved hand in a half-playful, half friendly way. From that time tho young student's torture commenced. Mabel, who had left home a half- grown girl, had gained wilh maturity nio rounded suppleness ot lorm as well as the queenly dignity of a young Diana; and with tho rich color, which had chased away tho pallor of her cheeks, had come that dcliciom, com plexion so rarely seen with daik hair. An old and moro experienced judge of beauty would, years before, have seen its promiso in thoso regular feat ures, and straight, though at that time, angular outlines but to her adopted cousin it was a surprise. Ho looked upon it as upon a miracle, and overy now glimpso of her bewitch ing foco served but to deepen the im pression. Hut Mabel had chnuged in other things besido a beauty. Sho was in comprehensible to him in her varied moods. Now gravo now gay now majes tic as a princess now gentle and sim plo as n child. Cliauncey knew not what to mako of her. Hut ho was fully conscious of ono truth; that ho loved the vory ground her tiny feet had pressed. Ho was her shadow. At last ho grow desperate. She should not thus hold him aloof and play with his feelings any longer. It might be amusement to her, but it was making his lifo a torture. So ho captured her in the library ono morning, before the rest of tho family had made their appearance, and pressed his suit with nn earnestness which would havo moved a heart of stone. Hut to all appearance it had no of feet on Mabel. She answered with a careless smile: "In a house, liko this, whero 'one or moro doesn't matter,' it would bo well for you to think twice before offering yourself to me;" and sho swept trorn tho room, leaving Chauncey lost in a maze of bewilderment and anger. Her debt was paid. Hut was Ma bel happy. It was hard to tell from her appearance in society. Cliauncey made no attempt at recon ciliation; and tho two young hearts daily drifted farther apart, until the day it happened that the samo spirit stirred within them both a longing for a walk in tho garden. Winter had passed, and Summer had come, so had the (lowers. They met boside tho samo luxuriant ly laden bushes from which Mabel had carried the clusters to her sick mother. Thero eyes met involuntarily. In suito of his wounded pride, Chauncey's wild lovo sprang into renewed life, and ho heW out his arms entrcatingly. "O, Mabel, forgivo me 1 I was but a careless, thoughtless boy. It is tho man who now appreciates you, and loves you better than his own life." Another moment and Mabel's queen ly head was resting on his breast. "It was because I loved you oven then that your words had power lo sting me so cruelly. Thoy rankled all through tho years that followed them. Hut the pain is gone now." So amid the tlowors was told another of those stories as old as the first lovo tale in Eden, and yet as young as the morning which ushers in a now day. The Great Forests of ruget Sound. Phrenological Journal. In western Washington, betwoen tho Cascade range on tho oast and the coast, or Olympic range on the west, and between tho -17th and -19th degrees of north latitude, is a thickly timbered belt of fir, cedar, alder, maple, and othor woods. Of these, fir probably represents three-fourths. In tho midst of this wealth of forest, nature has placed a broad, deep arm of tho Pa cific ocean l'uget sound wilh which it is connected by tho strait of Fuca. itius not only bos naturo provided tho timber, but tho water-way also by which it is possiblo for the merchant marine of tho woild to como ami ob tain their lumber supplies, much of which, sometime in tho future, must bo furnished from theso forests. Already tho lumber trado with Australia, Cen tral nnd South America, China, and tho islands of the pacific, amounts to fully 7.",000,000 feet a )ear, and employs a fleet of about fifteen vessels every month. Pugct sound is 200 miles in length, and has a littoral of 1,800 miles. This irregular shore lino forms innumerable harbors, splendidly adapted for the erection of saw mills and other wood-working factories, nnd also for the establishment of ship-yards. Along this whole shore line, and from thence on both sides as far as tho eyes reach nothing cau bo seen but tho vast and magnificent wealth of timber, save heio and there whero man has es tablished a mill port, a town, or on oc casional farm. In tho timber belt of western Wash ington there are '20,000,000 ncres coy ercd with timber, most of which is in eluded within tho limits named an area nearly equal to tho combined areas of tho states of Connecticut, Massa chusetts, Vermont and New Hamp shire. This timber belt will averago 2i5,000 feet of lumber to tho acre, or a total of u00,000,000,000 feet of lum ber. Hence, tho saw-mills of Pugct sound, with their present oapaoity of flOO.OOO.OOO foot a year, would take 1,000 years to cut It down. Tho fir trees frequently attain the height of 250 feet, and planks ot lumber aro sometimes turned out of theso mills 100 fcot long. Dora White, a Western advocate of additional rights for her sox, demands that divorce shall bo undo easier for women and entirely impossible for men. Only by such a reform, alio thinks would feminine lielplessncss be made equal to masculine perfidy in courtship and marriage. A great many persons think the cap ital of Louisiana is Now Orleans. This is incorrect. Hy thoStato consti tution adopted in 1870 the seat oi government wi.s changed from New u.ieans to miou llouge. 1885. Grant's Remarkable History. TIIK UAIIRKK OK TIIKOHNItKAt.

Col. Garland, in bis report of tho battlo of Chapullepcc, Sept. 13, 1847, said : "i must not omit to call attention to Lieut. Grant, Fourth In fantry, wtio acquitted himself most nobly upon several occasions under my own observation." For his conduct at Chapullepcc Grant was brovcttcd cap tain. After tho fall of tho City of Mex ico ho came homo wilh his regiment and was statioi ed first at Detroit and afterwards at Sackett's Harbor. Ho married Miss Julia T.

As a trained oflioer he was gladly accepted aud appointed to com mand a company of volunteers, until ho became Colonel of the Twenty-first Regiment, his commission dating from June 17, 1801. Having organized and trained his regiment, hu led itinto Mis souri, whero it formed part of tho guard of the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad. On July 31 he was appoint ed to tho command of the troops at Mexico, Mo., forming a part of Gen. Popo's force, and on August 23 was promoted Hrigadier-Gencral of Volun teers. Ho assumed command of tho troops at Cario, which were soon in creased by the addition of McClernard's brigade. He seized Paduca, a strate gic point of importance, and at the bat tle of Frodcrickstowu and Belmont held the Confederate General Jeff Thompson in check. Gen. Halleck, commanding tho Department of Mis souri, gavo Grant tho command of the district of Cairo, including Southern Illinois, Kentucky west of tho Cum berland River, and the southern coun ties of Missouri. In February, 1802, ho advanced on Forts Henry and Don elson with 15,001) men, supported by tho gunboats of Commodoro Foote. The reduction of tho fust (Feb. G) was chielly the woik of tho gunboats, but Fort Donelson was only taken after a desperate and bloody assault by the troops ten days later. As tho first great victoryjof the Federal arms, this capture roused tho country to tho high est pitch of enthusiasm, nnd Grant was made a Major General, his commission dating from tho day of battle. Gen. C. F. Smith had been directed to mako an expedition up the Tennessee with about 40,000 men, but ho died soon after ho started, and tho command de volved on Gen. Grant. On April C, 18i2, reorganizing tho Union army, which had been almost routed by Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston at Pittsbun; Landing, Grant drove the Confederates back to Corinth. Tho loss was not far from 12,000 on each sido. Gen. Grant was slightly wounded. TUB I'AI.I. 01' VICKSIIUItd. On the recall of Halleck, Grant was given command of tho West Tennessee Department, defeated Price, put Rose crans in command at Cornith nnd mov ed on Vicksburg with tho Thirteenth Army Corps. After several unsuccess ful attempts against "tho Gibraltar of the Mississippi" from tho north, Grant marched his nimy down tho west bank of tho river, crossed over below tho city April 30, 1803, and having defeat ed the enemy in several actions he pre vented J. IS. Johnston from joining Pemberton at Vicksburg. IIo laid siego to thu city on the 18th of May. After desiierato fighting and fearful carnage the place surreudeied July 4, 1803, with 27,000 prisoners. For a season the tide of war began to turn in tho f avor of the Confederate forces. Grant was promoted to Major-General in tho regular army and placed in the command of tho Division -f tho Missis sipiii with Sherman, Thomas, Hnrnsido and Hooker under his orders. After tho capture of Vicksburg, Grant sent heavy reinforcements to Sherman, who was thereby enabled to drive tho Con federate forco under Johnston out of Jackson. Hracg havintr threatened Chattanooga, Grant concentrated Ills forces and drovo Hragg from Mission ary Ridgo and Lookout Mouutain. Uongress bestowed a gold medal on tho victor, and revived for him tho grade of Lieulenaut-Gonernl. Resolu tions of thanks wero also passed by tho Legislatures, of Now York and Ohio. "My headquarters," said his first gen eral order, "will bo in tho field." IIo then took immediate command of tho Army of tho Potomao and carried on the campaign from tho Rapidan to the James. Not before, dunnix tho war. did any ono General command all tho national armies. With nearly 700,000 men iu the field Grant now pi aimed two campaigns to be carried on simul taneously against vital points of tho Confederacy the one under Gen. Mead'v to operate against Richmond, defended by Leo, tho other, under Slier man, against Atlanta, dofendod by joiinsion. MOVKMIlNTS IIKI Olli: ltlCIIMONI.

He undertook to push through tho Wilderness on Leo's right, so ns to place himself between urn uniuederate nimy and tho Confed erate capital, but Lee, apprised of his designs, boldly pushed forward to meet him. The result wns tho bloody battle of tho Wilderness. Grant was check ed in his endeavor to get between Leo's army nnd Richmond. Having made another advance by the left flank, Leo again confronted him at Spollsylvanin. After this "partial success and bloody repulse" heiepeatcd the movement only to met Leo in a strong position on tho North Anna River ; and having tried a fourth time, ho found his army con fronting the absolutely impregnable pits of Cold Harbor. Having suffered great loss in this attack, Grant onco moro moved his nrmy by tho left flank and crossed tho James. Tho day nftcr tho buccss of Snottsylvania he sent his famous dispatch to the Government, which closed with the words : "I pro pose lo fight it out if it takes ail sum mer." Ills losses during this cam paign were 51,551 killed, wounded and missing Lee's losses were 32,000. Sherman opened his campaign to At lanta ns soon as Grant telegraphed him that he had crossed tho Rapidan. Mean while several flanking movements that had been ordered by Grant wero foil ed, Sigel having been defeated at Now market by Hrcckenridge, Crook having been compelled to retreat, and Butler having failed to reduce Petersburg. The situation then narrowed itself down to a siege of Petersburg, which Grant began. Leo tried a diversion movement by tho invasion of Maryland and an attack on Washington, but fail ed, Sheridan having driven back the invaders up the Shenandoah Valley. Meantime Sherman pushed forward in his great "march to the sea," crushing ail opposition. Grant couducted tho operations against Peteisburg with vigor, but at a terrible cost of blood shed. On April 2, 18G5, Petersburg fell, and tho next day tho "last ditch'' was crossed and Grant entered Rich mond. Then camo the historic scene at Appomattox Court-llouse, when Geo. Leo surrendered with 27,- 000 men on April 9. The war was at an end, but at what cost t Grants loss in 1805 alono was over 80,000 killed, wounded and missing. Grant then took up his headquarters at Washington, nnd on July 20, 18GG, he was commissioned Geneial of tho United States armies, tho rank having been created for him. After the sus pension of Secretary Stanton by Pre sidtint Johnson, Aug. 12, 1807, Gen. Grant -vas made Secretary of War ad interim, but returned it to Mr. Stan. ton Jan. 14, 18G8, after tho Senato had refused to sanction tho latter's remo val. How Bruin Hugged a Busy Saw. "Talking about fur.ny things," said big bronzed, bearded man in the reading-room of au up-towu hotel lat night, "the funniest thing that I ever heard of happened iu my saw mill out in Michigan. Wo used a heavy up right saw for sawing heavy limber. Ono day not long ago the men had all gone to dinner, leaving the saw, which ran by water power, going at full speed. While wo Were away a big black bear cume into the null and went nosing around. The saw caught his fur and twisted it a little. Bruin didn't like this fur a cent, so ho turned around and fetched thu Baw a lick with his iaw. A blow with tho other paw fob owed and it was also cut. The bear was by this time aroused to nerfect fury, and rushing at the saw caught it in his grasp and gavo a tremendous hug. It was his last hug, and wo liv ed on bear steaks for a week.

For Maintenance of Insane Tho various superintendents of tho stato lunatic hospitals have been asked by tho auditor general for an estimate of tho amount which will bo required to pay for the maintenance of indigent insane for tho two years ended June, 1885, iu each of theso institutions. Under the law, tho state and tho coun ties from which tho indigent insane were sent divido tho expenses incurred iu their accommodation, the amount not lo exceed $3.50 a week per patient and clothing. Tho last logislaturo ap propriated S 100,000 to pay theso ex penses, but not moro than $260,000 will bo required according to tho re ports received from tho Danville and Woiren hospitals. The lecislatiiro also amironriated 8G50.000 to provide for tho caro of in- digent insano for two years ending June, 1887, which amount, it is thought, ...Ml l. ! ,1! ... - . ., . , n ut uu iiisuiiicieiii owing to mo in creased demand for accommodations for this olais of unfortunates. Tho Hlockley almshouse tiro and tho con sequent removal of its inmates to other hospitals has largely increased thu ex penses of the stato for tho maintenance of indigent insane. A superintendent of ouo of llio stato hospitals said recently that the legisla tive appropriation was Si 00,000 too small to carry on its purpose. Anoth er superintendent gavo it as his opin ion that tho maintenance of indigent iiiiano at llio stato hospitals would soon cost tho stato half a million dol lars a vear.
