A SAD ST0HY.
Fifty years ac;o there lived in Lincoln
eounly, Kentucky, a man named Amos
Vauslm. He owned a farm not far from the
knobs, near the White Oak lick. His farm
though large was not fertik; for either grain
crops or gra3. Hut, Dr. Vaughn ws a cap
ital farmer for that day, and he acquired the
means of independence, though in this day
he would be deemed a poor man.
His house was made of hewn logs, with
huge stone chimneys and immense fire-places
; and of winter nights, when almost a
l ut i ter of a cord of wood was piled on and
burning the sense of comfort and cheerful
ness was abundantly diffused. It was around
such fires that the young people of fifty years
; ago sat of winter evenings. Apples and ci-
fler crowned the board ; and how the merry
laughter and song resounded, none now
! know except .hose still living who were
' young at that period.
Mr. Vauvlm had but one child, a son,
j whose name was Foster. He was indtistri
' ous and exemplary. Never were the hearts
. of parents more completely bound up in a
j child : and never were parents more happily
t rewarded for their tender affection. lie was
I a noble type of manly beauty in his person
j tall, erect, robust. lib, eyes were large, sha
i ded by long eye lushes ; and his auburn suit
; of hair curled a littie so as to fall in wavelets
over his well-formed head. His education
: had not been neglected.
Many were the girls who set their caps for
I Foster Vau-lia, but they were all defeated.
. lie did not seem inclined to enter the mar-
n.tge lom-m.uii, u.ougn ne paia me gins j
great respect, often putting himself to sen-
: ons ineonvenimice to eratifv their whims.
Mrs. Vaughn often took occasion to suggest j
i to her son certain girls for a wife, always
1 pointing out the daughters of the wealthiest ;
I men of the adjoining counties ; but her sug- i
. gestions did not seem to make any impression j
, on the mind of her son. i
In the Knobs, which are the spurs of the
' Cumberland mountain, the farmer, at the :
. time of which I speak had herds of wild j
t hogs, which grew fat on the mast in the fail, :
and were hunted w ith dogs and killed when
, the weather became cold enough to preserve
j the meat. These annual hunts were partici- '
' pated in by a dozen or twenty neighbors, and '
they furnished, a number of days of excellent :
sport.
In one of these hunts Foster Vaughn was 1
a party. The day was eld, and in the even-
' ing the snow poured down in a blinding 1
storm. Near night Foster found himself ;
: twelve miles from home. The storm had j
I ceased. The clouds had parted, leaving !
I bread patches of dwep blue sky which con- j
; trusted forcibly with the woods that were
i heavily clad with snow. He accordingly ae-
eentrl the it i t a t .f t- T.';.1.1 tr r-r 1

i Mr. Kiihl had but poor accommodations.
i 1 1 is cabin consisted of only tw rooms, lie I
! had live children, four sons and one riangh- '
ter, who wan the eldest of the Tamily. She j
was nineteen years old and was a marvelous j
specimen of female beauty. Her person '
was absolutely peifeet, developed in perfect i
: harmony, and presenting the mot captivat- j
in appearance that can be imagined.
Her forehead was ample, revealing vigor- I
ous intellectual faculties evenly balanced, i
and it was like the whitest marble. Her j
bands were models for the ambitious artist
who covets an immortality of fame. Added
: to these was a voice whose tones of melody
and compass cannot be represented in words,
j Such was the mouiitahi maiden Milly Kidd.
i After a frugal supper, Milly entei tained
; Mr. Vaughn. They sat alone in one of the
j rooms of the cabin. Milly was wholly uned
j ucatetl, but her native goofl sense and intui
j tive perception of propriety rendered her in
t teresting. '-he knew a number of fine old
i ballads, which she sang with sweetness and
. feeling.
I The hours flew away on golden wings.
j Foster was confuted with strange emotions
j strange because ho had never experienced
', them befoie. It was midnight ; and Milly
j retired, her father coming in to invite his
i guest to bed.
Foster could not sleep. His soul was full
! of troubled sweetness and mysterious joy.
! He was under the influence of ja'master pow
j er, such as he had never experienced. As
' the winter wind wailed round the cabin, and
j moaned away in the distant forest, the im
age anil sweet voice of Milly roe before him ;
he fdill heard her thrilling voice; still saw
her queenly form ; still seemed to be gazing
07i her angelic face. Not until just before
rl a viiftfvi ir iif full intr. trniiitlnt c i n t-v
The -next morning he returned home.' but I
home was not home to him any more. The
. .r,
tumult of his soul continued. He was absent-minded,
solitary, moody. His mother
observed the change in his habits, and asked
I him if he were ill.
j He replied :
"So, not in the least."
j "Why, then," she demanded, "arc you so
, changed."
! He blushed deeply, and replied :
I "I am not aware that I have changed from
what 1 have alwavs been."
! fhe made no reply and the subject was j
! ilroj-iped. !
i But Foster continued in his unusual state
' of mind. All day long the image of the '
beautiful mountain girl was before his mind,
and in the night it rose up amid his fitful
! dreams. Her voice, so full of melody and
j unearthly sweetness, sometimes seemed to
j be actually heard by him more than remem
1 bered ; and then a thrill of joy disturbed his
j lieing.
I Two weeks passed, and Foster was on his
j way to Mr. Kidd's home in the hills. It was
i in the middle of December, but the weather
j was mild as spring time. It was Saturday
evening. The sky was clear, and the genial
i sunshine diffused over th world the aspect
; of spring, not of winter. About an hour af
! ter sunset he halted et the house of Mr.
i Kidd.
No one was at home but Milly. She was
not expecting him, and was in her every-day
dress. But the mountain peojde are not
much troubled with the nicer points of what
the world call etiquette : and Milly gave
Foster welcome with the heart, the lips be
ing merely instruments.
The sight of the beautiful girl gve sereni
ty to the wind of the young man. Peace,
deep as the still summer noon, came over ids
soul, with an absolute happiness that he had
ever known before. After supper Foster
and Milly sat together in the same, room they
had at first acquaintance occupied. She
sang the same old songs, which Foster felt
to be still more beautiful ; and then they
chatted till the old man came in.
On retiring, Foster lay sleepless, entranced
in glorious happiness. He only felt his
bliss ; he was not distinctly conscious of it.
Next morning opened with the mildness of
May. The sun rose in cloudless skies, and
the day was fail of the pea of nature and
the blending of her countless charms.
In the evening Foster and Milly walked
out together in the large apple orchard.
Cut their walk did not terminate there :
they went into the adjoining woods. They
strayed on through the great forest of chest
nut trees, chatting until they had gone a
mile, and stopped on the brow of a hitrh hill
that commanded a far distant prospect of the
winding course of a large creek.
And here it was that Foster knelt before
Milly and asked her to be his vif. Milly
drew back and said :
"That cannot be."
"Why?" said the still kneeling Foster.
"Can or do you not love me well enough to
b3 my wife ? This is my first love ; never
did I ask any girl to be my wife befoie. I
love and adore you, and my lifa will be
wretched without you."
Milly took his hand and gently raised him
up. Hie sat down on a fallen tree and drew
Foster beside her. Looking him full in tike
eyes, he said :
"Mr. v'aughn, if I were to follow the dic
tates of my heart I would nccept your hand
I with its true love.
Hut I am a poor mountain girl, and my
marriage with you would be an insult to
your paients and friends. I could not come
among them as an equal and will not as an
iinrqval. "
But Foster pressed his suit with an elo
quence which the loving heart can alone in
spire and dictate. Finally, terms were set-
tied the couple rose up pledged to each
..tner
In the morning Foster had a conversation
with the father and mother of Milly, and
gained their consent to his marriage with
theii daughter.
Foster returned home in the evening. On
the next day, at dinner, he told Ins parents
of the engagement with Xilly Kidd. His
mother burst into tears, and then into a fit of
extreme passion.
"The Knobinite," she said, "shall never
be my s'on's wife with my consent. How
perfectly ridiculous. Foster, do you intend
to kill me?"
Mr. Vaughn took matters more cooily :
but at night he told his son calmly that he
could never give his consent to the marriage.
Then the kind and the intimate friend of
the family came in with their astonishment
and indignation. Hut Foster was not moved,
lie told his parents plainly that he was de
termined to marry Milly Kidd.
"Then," replied his mother, "I had rather
see you dead."
"And so had I," responded Mr. Vaughn.
In the evening Foster went to Walnut
Flat, a small village some two miles distant.
i
There he met with a iiumlHr of persons who
wished to go deer hunting in the Knobs.
The next day was set apart for the hunt on
the headwaters of Black Creek.
When Foster came home he told his pa
rents of the contemplated hunt the next day.
They at once upbraided him with forming
an excuse to go back to see Milly Kidd.
Mildly but firmly he told them he was not
going to see Milly but simply to have a limit
for deer.
"Then," said the mother, "go along : but
I had rather see you dead tlran to have you
marry that miserable Knnb'atitr."
Foster had made no reply, for lie had seen
that his parents would never submit to his
wishes.
The nest morning opened cold and cloudy.
The company met at Hall's Gap, ami having
appointed a meet ing-place in the evening,
each struck out into the lone hills.
At about one o'clock, snow began to fall
and thickened into a terrible storm. The
men all met at the appointed, time but Fos
ter was not there. Tin y waited a long time
but he did not come ; and they supposed that
in consequence of the storm he had gone
home : and they all departed.
About night Foster's hoi sc. arrived at
home: but this created no alarm, his parents
thinking that the "noise had broken loose,
and that their son was in the neighborhood.
j Not till the next evening was the fact ' sliming sun during a shower. "I have al
I known that Foster had not returned from I ways trusted you. I want a pair of striped
, the hunt. 'o one knew anything about I stockings" and, blushing deeply, she hid
; him. On the third morning a company was
i made up to-hunt lor him. The most serious
tear for his safety was entertained, as the '
j weather had turned intensely cold. A large
; company of men went into the Knobs and
took different directions in search of the lost
j man. Xot a track of man or beast could be
, found. A party was sent out to visit the
f',st t; ' tl,C rC'xi'.n f the ,,unt- 1,ut 110
one nan seen tostcr. one young man went
young man went
j to Mr. Kidd's but Foster had not been there.
Their search was continued, and finally
Fostei's gun was found in the snow. The
, next trace of him was discovered in a cabin,
I which contained fifteen hundred of blade
! fodder. Had he craw led into the soft fodder
! he might have saved his life, but he did not
j think f it. If he had not lost his gun, he
j might have set the fodder on fire.
I Foster left the fodder house and went
j through the field to Buck creek. He tried
j to walk over the stream on a felled tree, but
he fell off into the water, three feet deep, as
the broken ice attested. He took up the
creek, his tracks remaining plainly in the
snow. But he had got wet, sat down at the
root of a horn'oean and went to sleep. There
he was found dead.
His body was carrier; home. The grief of I
his parents was intense. But the dagger
which pierced his mother's lu-art was one of
her own making : "1 had rather seen you
dead 1" And now here was the lifeless body
of her only son, whose first and only love
she had rudely crossed. Her anguish was
extreme. The father, too, was sullen with
sorrow. He said to himself :
"I am to blame. God has taken ven
geance on me, and made me desolate in my
old age."
The funeral was largely attended, and
hundreds wept over the coffin.
When Milly Kidd heard of Foster's hard
fate she turned pale, trembled in every limb
and fell uneoncious to the floor. She became
sad, like one forsaken by the. world. She
was silent, and preformed her accustomed
duties mechanically.
Gradually her health gave way. Nay, the
hectic flush was upon her cheek. During
her many weeks of illness she never com
plained. Mr. Vaughn and his wife visited
her and begged her forgiveness. She told
them she bore no enmity or unkind feelings
towards them ; but that her soul was crush
ed. Her meakness, her patience, her tri
umphant faith in Christ touched every heart
who visited her, and shed around her dying
pillow an unfading radiance.
One evening Mr. VaugbD called Lis wife to
fciui and said :
"My dear, we have done a great wrong in
crossing the love of our son. Heboid what
has come upon us ! We are left alone in our
old ag-t ! Oh, if we had Foster and Milly
with us how happy we should be ! I have a
proposition to make to you. It is, that when
Milly dies, the grave of our Foster shall be
! opened and her colli n be placed by the side
j of his. They loved like you and I did in our
j early life, and you and I eruell- parted
them. We have got our reward and what a
t reward it is '."
j Mrs. Vaughn consented, amid convulsions
I of sorrow. The next day Mr. Vaughn went
to see Milly. She was approaching the final
' struggle, with unclouded reason and a peace
j ful soul. He told her that he and his wife
: wished that her coffin should be placed be
! side that of their son. Hie smiled sweetly
j and said :
' "Thank you : that takes away from my
j heart the last shadow, and all I wish now is
j to die."
j Twelve hours after this her pure and gen
tle spirit went away, The grave of Foster
was opened, and the coffin of Milly was
placed right by the side of his.
It was a bright day. The evening sun
shed radiance over field, stream and grove.
The thirds were singing in every clump of
trees, and every breeze bore with it the per
fume of countless flowers.
The whole community for miles around
was in attendance. The distinction of rich i
and noor was forgotten in the remembrance !
of the holy love of the human heart.
Just as Milly's coflin was lowering down
beside that of her affianced lover, the vewer- !
able ministei sang, in a plaintive minor, the
following verses :
"In th? urave distress and sorrow '
Fain no more the trouhled hrcast ';
There the wicked cea-e frtn tr.m'dinir.
And the weary aro at rel,
"There the vri-Tncr.' freed Irom anguish,
T!et ecuro frnin all their dread ;
And the voice of proud oppression
l!y the poor no more ia heard.
The effect was electrical. There was not
a tearless eye in the crowd of spectators, be-
i cause every soul was smitten with great sor-
i row.
I Years have passed away, and stili the
spring birds sing above those forgotten
! graves; and pernaps none are left on earth
I who knew this simple history and wept over
it in other years.
! THE rOVYi:K OF LOVE.
J THE TflllM.MNi; ROMANCE OF A TU -H$C.
! "Do you love me as much to-day, Bertrace,
as you did last Friday?"
These were the concluding words of a let
ter which Bertrace Houlihan, a fair, grace
ful girl of nineteen, held in her hand, on one
finger of which sparkled a diamond ring a
pledge of Herman Hanafni that he would
love and cherish her forever.
"What a dear, silly old boy he is, to be
sure," Bertrace said to herself, and a mcrry
laugh rippled through her pearly teeth and
flowed gracefully out over the iipe, red lips
that seemed made only for kissing, although
there were dark stories alToat in the lloiili
l.'.n household that when tli dried beef jar
was found empty one day Bertrace had only
smiled in her own languid, imperial way and
said something about trying to keep tip with
the procession if it took all the dried beef in
j town.
Her parents were rich but honest, and Iov
i ed their daughter with a mad, trusting, pas
j .sionate. love that knew no bounds. Her
: every w ish was law, and yt, knowing this,
j she would often shrink from letting her
i wants be known, so retiring was her nature.
Once Mrs. Houlihan discovered Bertrace
standing against a marble Psyche that irna-
incnted the parlor bay window silently
i weeping.
j "What is the matter, my child ?" said the
mother, coming to her daughter's side, and
j kissing her tenderly. "Can you not trust me
j with your grief ?"
j "Yes, mamma," said the girl, looking at
her with tear-stained nose, while a blight
: smile illuminated her conn tenancy, like the
her face in her mother's bosom.
From that moment they understood each
other perfectly. It was a beautiful picture
to see them together in the house, more like
sisters than mether and daughter. Their
li ves knew no shadow, and they held up old
Houlihan for whatever they wanted in the
way of clothes. There were no other chil
dren. Bertrace had the track all to herself.
She had met Herbert Hanafin at a fair held
under the anspicw of the I'nited Italian
benevolent societies, and loved him deeply.
They were to be married in the fall. It
wo'ild save coal, Mr. Houlihan said, but Ber
trace only laughed a littie, light, sunny, three-for-ten-cents
laugh, and said her darling pa
pa was quite too awfully quid.
It was July. From a cloudless sky the
sun beat down with pitiless fury upon a rail
road. Near by was a grove, from whence
proceeded the sounds of laughter. A train
stood on the siding. Three brakemcn were
asleep in the front car. This trin had bro't
the excursionists to the grove. It was wait
ing to take them back.
Come with me to the grve. Bertrace
! iiouiiiian is tne centre of a merry group,
i In her hands she holds a custard pie. Some
i one calls. She places the iie oh a chair, and
turns to see what is wanted.
Hernert Hanafin joins the partv. I nm
tired," he says, and sits down on the chair.
Instinctively he feels that a mistake has
been made.
"If it is ciiseovered." he says to himself, "1
shall be overwhelmed with ridicule, and lose
Bertrace. She could never love a man with
a custard pie on his pants."
Bertrace again joined the party and greet
ed Herbert affectionately. She was about to
ask for the rie, when a look from Herbert
told her all.
"Would I betray jiini for a paltry pie?''
she murmured. "No, not for a whole bak
ery." Herbert was saved.
Such is the power of love.

FACTS COXER.MXi JAY GOULD.
The other morning while Mr. Cole, the pro
prietor of the coming circus and menagerie
of that name, was picking his teeth on the
steps of the Buss house, a tall, sun-burned,
bald-headed man, with pine burrs in his
clothes, a stick of sassafras in his mouth, ap
proached and said :
"Be you the wi'd animal man, mister?"
"The proprietor of the Double Mastodon
Aggregation" admitted that such was the
fact.
"Then," proceeded the party from the
mountains, "I think 1 11 get you to make an
offer for a largo sized healthy California lion
I've got."
"Good specimen, eh?" aked the circus
man.
"Good ? Well I should say so. Measures
eleven feet from the tip of his nose to the tip
of his tail. Caught him myself when a cub.
Just four years old to-morrow."
"Hum good appetite?"
"Appetite ? Great Scott, appetite: Well
I should smile that's just the point that's
just why I'm parting with Jay I call him
Jay Gould because-he takes even thing in.
If it wasn't for his appetite, and the queeT
little things it makes him do, I wouldn't part
with Gould for a fortune.
"Savage, eh ?"
"Well, no : I don't know as I could call
Jay savage, exactly sorter nibbisk, though,
may be. Has a kinder habit of gnawing up
things, so to speak. In fact the neishbors
I live up at Bladder's Peak have gotten (o
be o fussy ami particular of late that I can't
so much as unchain J. G. for a lit'.le fresh
air without their getting grumpy over it '."
"There's no pleasing some people," said
the hipnodronier.
"I should say not. 'ow, f "nn-tance.'bout
three months after Jay tot to be as big as a
j boarding-house sofa, I came home one day
I iiom a picnic and found he had eaten up old
j Aunt Maria, who had been left at home to
! mind the house leastwise she was nowhere
', to be found ; and as Jay Gould seemed sor
ter bulgy like, and kept coughing up hair
pins and false teeth for a day or two, we
kinder suspicior.ol the whole tiling.
"Maternal aunt. ?" inquired the showman,
thoughtfully.
' Exactly. My wife took on dreadfully at
first, and wanted me to shoot Jay right off.
But I told her that he probably suffered more
as it was, and that ns most likely he would
cateh the rheumatism arid things from l!:e
remains we'd better call it square."
"Anddi.l she ?"
"Well, she kinder got reconciled after a
while, especially as Jay seemed fond of play
ing with the children. One morning soon af
ter that my wife's mother whole family
Hved;with me, you'see didn't come down to
breakfast. As all hei false hair was hang
ing over a chair back, and Gould craw led out
from under the bed licking his chops, and
with his tongue a good deal coated mother-in-law
was always taking something for the
liver complaint we saw nt once it was an
other visitation from Protidence, and that
the heavy hand of afllictinn was again upon
us."
"Looked that way, didn't it?"
"Well, as you may suppose, the old lady
that's my wife pranced around a good deal
then, and got down the 'oreech-londcr right
away. But just then there arrived a gold j
medal from the S. P. C. A. society, awarded j
on account of my forbearance in the Aunt i
Maria business, and sol got her calmed down !
after awhile." .
"Pacified her, eh ?" ,
" es ; I managed to arrange a reprieve for ;
Jay, somehow. You seel was awful fond
of pets and tender-hearted animals and all ;
that, you understand. I argued fiat the poor j
animal didn't know that he was doing wrong
merciful man is merciful to his beast, etc., ,
etc. That smoothered things over for an
other month."
"What happened then ?"
"Well, one day I ?ent Tommy, our young- .
est boy, down to the store for sugar. He j
took Jay along for company. Now, whethei I
it was because Jay was fond of sugar or not
but he came home alone, and as soon as we
noticed a Vind of bulge on his ribs, about as
big as Tommy, we concluded that the dread j
archer had marked another Skidinore my ',
name is Skidmon for his own. The whole 1
family took on like mad, and Mrs. Skid was
about to shove the powder keg under J. G-
and touch it off herself, when I pointed out
j that it wouldn't do to desecrate our offsprings
tomb in that way. So I just had the burial
service read over the lion and tied crape
around his neck for thirty days. How does
that strike you ?"
' 'After that you'kept the animal chained?"
"Well, no. The fact is I set out to get a
chain several times, but one thing and an
other prevented, until one diy last week I
j actually missed the old lady herself. I look
I ed around frr a couple of days, when sonie-
how- of a sudden I sorter intentioned where
she was. I cave Gould about half a pint of
emetic right away, but all 1 could get out of
, . .... , , , , ,
nun was a pair oi nign neeiea snoes ana a
! chest protector. It was too late too late 1
J We put the shoes and things in a coflin, and
i had Jay led behind the hearse to the ceme
tery. Wanted to have as much of the corpse
present as possible don't yon see ? We had
i the animal all decorated with flowers and
i things, as fine as you please. Folks say it
I was the touchiest thing that ever took place
j in them parts," and the bereaved husband
t sighed heavily.
j "Don't wonder you want to sell tiie beast,"
remarked the menagerie man, after a pause.
"Well, I sorter do, and sorter don't," said
Mr. Skidmore, abstractedly. "There's so
many memories and things clustering around
J. G. seems kinder like parting with one's
family burying lot, as it were. On the other
hand, though, now that the old lady is gone,
I sorter feel as if the insect liad well, out
lived his usefulness, so to speak. So sup
pose I just have this box hauled around to
your rhow after the performance this after
noon, and see if we can't strike a bargain,"
"All right," said the manager, "I'm going
up Salt Lake way after while, and perhaps I
can work him off for big money to some of
the Mormon elders."
"There's a mint of coin in him as a family
pet," said the other earnestly.
And after striking the circus proprietor for
a season deadhead, the widower shouldered
his umbrella and drifted sadly down street.

fine him strictly to one apartment. When

counts, were just as sound as anybody's.

eteentVn,Rt?,,';fr,V f,"!
el the entrance to toe lute House grounds.
I he President was carried at once to his
Chamber and laid Upon his bed
ance b this time, and a cursory examination
showed that the second ball had lodged in
the groin iust over the kidnev and would in
all probability prove fatal, though the physi
sians have said there was hoj,e.
The city is the scene of the greatest excite
ment, and the deepest cloom set ins to per
vade every heart.
When the President reached the White
House his jiulse was 5o, and he aiqieared to
twt almost unconscious. At 11:1 he had ral
lied considerably and his pulse had increased
to S'. After one artemjit to f xtrai t the bail
the physicians determined to probe no more
at piesent. The President is now able to
converse and talks cheerfully. He first com
plained of a pain in tlie hip. a:i 1 it was feared
the sqiinal colnmn had been injured. That
pain and the attendant nausea soon subsid
ed, however, as did also the symptoms of
paralysis.
Several physicians were called in for a
hasty consultation and a careful examination
was "made ot the wounds, nlthouuh they were
not thoroughly probed, as it was feared some
vital jmrt might be reached Dr. Lineoin is
of the opinion that death mi Jit occur in two
iiours, ajd Drs. Bliss and AJaais said Liere
was no lioiieof recovery. I'ntil the exact lo
cation (d the ball has been determined, how
ever, it is iiux.s-il.le to j rcdn t the result.
