And so we hare but to trust to our Heavenly Father's care, I tc'.inir our way in the darkness, by the hu,ht of fai'h and prayer ; For we know that His heart is tender toward all the children of m-n.

It wa a coal mining place, full of mill- er-:, ami there were several doctors there be- , fore me: but I bouaht out another man's : practice before ascertaining that he had none, so I had to try to work along as best I could. In two years my patients had increased to a respectable number, hut I was still a poor I man, for 1 coubl not exacr. a neavy ice nom people who earned their bread nv the sweat of their brows in darkness, and sometimes in dancer. They were poor, and the doctor who at- j tended them in case of illness was necessar- j ily poor also. The valley in which the town j was situated was a beautiful one; lovely j farms lay in every direction, and aced elms rose be-ide the placid river and flowed thro' the midst of it peace and plenty smiled on j the beautiful scene, and happy men and wo men lived and died there without having ever j seen the bny, turbulent world outside. The snpeiintendcnt of one of the mining , companies lived near the cottage I had mude ! my home, and li" h-d a n only child, a daugh ter, and as they say a poor mtn is m-ver pro perly miserable till he falls in love I had to , fu'.Iow up my destiny by loving Idllie Hard- wick. i She was lovely, that is the only excuse I ; can offer for my rash devotion to her. I . loved her the fir-t time I evei saw her it j was fin.- Sunday, at church. she sat beside her father, and I thought of ( ancds all tlie morning instead of listening J to t he sermon. j she wore a blue and white dress and some- '. tlrng gauzy upon her head : her hair was i nut-brown and rippled naturally, and her complexion pure as an infant's and fresh as 1 a ruse. She had l.irgej soft-brown eyes, with lone, dark lashes, and the sweetest voice I ever heard. i 4. fter that S'unhiy I met her at one or two ; parti', loit I did not dare to pay her any ( Mnrirrd attention, for she was the only daugh- i tor of a rich man, and I was the poor, nn known doctor, struggling hard to make a liv- j i n i. The summer wore away, and I.illie was i still a bright star at which I fondly gazed but i was also far beyond my reach. I fancied she cored for me, and that kept i hve and hope alive, and at my present rate of progress' I might, in about sixty years, I amasi suflieier.t of this world's goods to take a wife. Certainly the prospects were not cheering. I attended a picnic one day, and had the happiness to be. chosen Lillie's escort which filled me with delight, for we spent the after noon together : she bail a volume of poems w ith her, and I lay among the ferns at her feet in the hard wood grove where more en ergetic people were making a fire and pre paring for supper, and read some of these poems aloud to her : tliey were short selec tions, ami one of them I shall never forget. It was new to me and ran thus : He little knows A woman heart, who. when the cold wind -lows 1 i-ems it will -nature. Thonirh storms may rise. And irriel mav dim and sorrow cloud her skies. And h-t.ele-'s hour, and sunless day come on, And dark despair the cloomy tutu re f. 11 lint, lovinir once, she loves through p-ood or 111." 1 raised my eyes to Lillie's face as she lis tened to tlie words, and her look delighted inc. "How true that is," she said, earnestly, then colored, at, I suppose, the expression I could not keep out of my face. If I only dared there and then to tell her how I loved her but I had not the courage. The picnic lived in my memory like one sunbeam on a dark day a streak of golden light shining through gloom. I scar.-cly saw ( illness tnat followed, and with the help of Lillie all winter, except occasionally at , God brought him back to health and strength church, for I was too busy to lie a regular at- j as the hawthorn was in bloom, and the rob tendant. j ins began their spring congs among the old In the month of March a terriole day dawn- j elms, ed over our peaceful valley. About 10 o'- j I saw Lillie dairy, and her sweet face be. clock in the morning an explosion occurred came dearer to me every time I met her in tho mine of which Mr. Hard wick was 1 She found time to visit among those on whom superintendant. j All trie men were in the mine when it took ' place, and as the fearful sound was heard, ' and the mine belched forth volumes of black l smoke, crowds of waiting women and chii ! dren flocked to the mouth of the hideous I monster that had swallowed up their lius- bands and fathers I I was soon on the spot, fori knew there j would be work for me wh.n th burnt and mangled victims oi inc explosion were nro t to light. i Volunteers were not wanting to go below ! and do what they could for ffie unfortunate i beings imprisoned amid darkness and.deatli. i I offered myself.'bnt Mr. Hardwick pushed i me back, saj'ing : I "No, doctor, slay where von are. You will be more needed when we come up. Stay here, I beg of j-ou." j So speaking he stepped into the bucket I with as many more as it would hold, ar.d j rapidly descended down the dark chasm I through which the black smoke still rolled, j I stood in sad uncertainty as to what would j come next, when f felt a light touch on the j arm, and turning I found Lillie beside me. j She wore a light morning dress and slippers ! and was without a hat ; her bosom rose and ' fell rapidly, for she had evidently lost no time in coming here. "Oh, doctor!" she cried, clinging to my arm, "I have ran all the way and I am out of breath. Tell me where papa Is?" I looked at her flushed face and eager eyes; I noted tlie trembling of Ii-r hands:, and the link hot-house rose that npstlrd in her breast as if inocliiiirj her agony of fear. "Miss Lillie, come back a little, your fath er was not in ttie mine at the time of the ex plosion ; I have seen him sinre : he is safe." thank God thank God ."' she cried, tears starting to her sweet, brown eyes. "Yes, eome back, Miss Lillie, it is not good for you to inhale that smoke ; eome back !" Something told me to tret her away from the mouth oftlie pit, but it was hard to do. At length I left her trying to console an old woman whose three sons had gone down a few hours before, hale, hearty young men. and who might be blackened corpses for all she knew burned p.nd bruised past hope ot recognition even by their mother. As I returned to the shaft a dull, booming sound came suddenly from underground the earth shook a roar like the blast of a hundred cannons was heard, and huge mass es of inky smoke rose above the fatal pit. A second explosion had taken place. Screams from the women rent the air, and above them all ringing out T heard the voice of Ijillie Hard wick clear as a bell : "Oh, rl'ii. papa !' My heart stood still ; a crowd of men natli ered round me, another party going down to help the dying men below. Xo one tried to stop me now ; lint T could not sro without one word to I.illie. If I went to niv death M her at least know know how I love her. She was by my side and I eaucbt her hands in mine. 'Lillie, I will try to sae your father if I cannot I will die with hiin." "Oh, thank tou," she said, looking straiaht into my face. "Come tip alive for my sake!" With these words ringing in my ears I jumped on the lift and was soon spinning downward into the vault of darkness and de pair. The air was thick with noisome va pors, and we could distinguish nothing at first ; but after a while our lantern revealed hnce masses of coal thrown opt of place. Im prisoning men in living tombs, for without fresh air life could not be sustained. On everv side the mine had been rent and i torn, and instead of the wide passages where ) the men worked all was blocked up with de.- i bris, and large shafts of wood used to stay j tip the mine lay torn and twisted, procjng j the fury of the power that destroyed tin in. : We ga.ed at each other in mute despair , then seizing any implement that came to hand and began to wm k w ith a will. I nev- ! er knew I could handle a luck before, but I j certainly made good progress, and succeed- I cd in bursting open a lead, one of the most important in the mine. "Here!" I shouted, as I found a number of men piled together. "Come and help me out with them. Some of tliem at least are i aliv." I By the yellow light of tlie lantern I recog- ! 7ed the party that had gone down to the res cue. Lillie's father first. He was inseiisi bio, but still breathed : his arm was doubled underbill! and broken ; what other injuries he had sustained I could not tell. He was placryl in the lift and I took my place beside him ; as many of the other men as the lift would a-ioinod tte were Uid there and we were soon on our way to light and life. The first f.tce I saw on paining daylight was Liilie's, in fact I saw it as I ga.ed up ward anxiously ; it shone white and pure above the dark abyss of woe from which we ascended like a star of hope. When we came into the light and she saw her father lying in my arms as I knelt to sup port him, she proved her courage by neither screaming or fainting. She assisted me to lift him out and place him upon a iiUer which had been provided. I examined hiiu now and found that in ad- (,itio: to t!'C broken aim. Mr. Ilardwick had sustained other injuries, none of them neces- sarily fatal, still placing his life in great ! danger. I attended to his wounds and had I Iii in removed to his house, which was fortn- j nately near. Then I returned to the mine, j Ah ! that woeful day ! as the sun set that night there were sorrow and weeping in al- j most every humble home in the town. I lost no time and the other doctors were j also kept busy. I visited Lillie's father I every two hours and administered such rem- j edies as I thought was needful. I asked j Mrs. Hard wick if she wished, another doctor, j but she answered : ! "Oh, no. You saved my husband's life ' and I have every confidence in iyour skill" j Let the other doctors attend to the rest of i the poor men." i We had al! of us enough to d j that day and j many days after. i No more explosions follow d, but all the j wounded men were not rescued at once. Some of them were buried among the loose j masses of coal, and had to lie dug out. Many who were given up for lost were i brought up alive after all hope had been . abandoned. But the valley was full of sor row and gri-'f, too painful to dwell upon. I attended Mr. Hard wiek through the long the hand of God had been laid, speaking words of comfort and healing. A true wo- manly woman such as are given to bring men nearer to God than aught else can do. It was a beautiful balmy evening when I paid my last professional visit to her home the perfume of spring violets in the air and the dewy mist of early nightfall lay over the valley. " I found Lillie sitting alone on the sidesteps of the porch, her lacework lying in her lap. "It is too dark to work, doctor," ihc said, pleasantly. "I am taking advantage of the lazy hour. I like to sit here and enjoy the perfume of my violets you know I have a perfect mania for flowers. Do you rfiiiem- ber I wore a hot-house rose that morning that terrible morning ! I do not think I shall ever love roses again their scent brings it all back to mo. One can hardly imagine as- j sociating anything terrible with the perfume j of a rose, but I do." j 1 sat beside her and spoke all sorts of sub- i jects except the one nearest my heart that j I had not the courage to mention. I paid my visit to Mr. Hardwick and told j 1dm it was unnecessary for me to see him j again in my professional capacity j "Come all the same, my dear fellow come ! as a friend," he said, pressing my hand cor- J dially. I Ills wife, a sweet, motherly woman, sec- ouded the invitation, and I bade them all good-night. Lillie sat on the steps, though. J Lad seen her flitting about the house while I talked with her father ; as I passed out she held out her hand to me, saying: "Here is something for you, doctor. Xo, do not look at it until you are at home." Without another word she vanished, leav ing in my hand a s.nall, white package. As soon as I was in my surgery I opened Iho pa per : there lay the rose my love wore on her bosom on the day of the explosion, and on the paper, in her own hand writinsr. the words of the poem I read to her tinder the maple trees. j Tt was late, but, I did not sleep until I saw T.ii'ie aeain and heard front her own sweet j lips that she loved'me. Her parents consent j ed to our marriace, and we aie happy. The j perfume of roses has for me no horrible as ! sociations. (sR.VNPFATIIEIl'S TALK. T'-'E r.KSPONSIBlMTY OF V.

I am afraid there are a great many parents who do not reaiize the extent, of the respon sibility that, rests on their shoulders, who do not feel, as they should, that not only their own but their children's salvation is in their keeping. That this is the case is evident from the way in which many parents manage their children. They deliberately encompass their ruin temporally and spiritually. They have no care but of what the world will say or think, or what the world does, and their management of their offspring is shaped in accord with the rule of "the world" which has neither heart nor soul or pi inciple. With them Teligion, manual work, nnd honest bearing ara classed in the same category which is labeled "unfashionable," and thy bring up their children, or perhaps, they al low them to grow up scoffers at religion, idlers, and, therefore, parasites on society's body, and hypocrites under all circumstances. Such parents may carry with them through Jife some of the religious feeling of their youth, and may make a deathbed repentance. but think you that they will have but their own failings to answer for? Perhaps it is not for me to say, but I liwic that if in busi ness oleik is given a certain trust to per form, and h fails in its performance, it is . the rule of I nsincss that he sha'l be punish- ed. And when one is charged with the care ; f.f an immortal soul, and neglects to gi"e it j the proper care, what should be the punish : ment ? I These thoughts were suggested to me by i reading the following extract from the East i St. Louis (IM. ) Ilerahl: j A correspondent, among other sensible re I marks gets off the following sharp and time I ly hit in the direction of people of the shabby genteel order. i "Indusirv is certainly as good ft habit for ' girls as for boys. Idleness is just as bad a i ice in girls and women as in boys and men. , Yet parents no on bringing up tills in idle- ' . 3 a, - , ,1... . . - a.l ..1. nrs, and think (hat useful employment is beneath them. This is so common and fash ionable that even girls who are obliged to do something for a living are often ashamed of it, and their parents, as sillv as they, are .shamed of it also The boy i always ask ed what li intends to do when he is a man. Nobody asks the girl what she intends to do." It is simply a shame and disgrace for-A poor man to bring up two fir three-grown daughters ia folly and idleness to "beat" diy coods ami millinery stores out of their wares, to enable empty-headed girls to flaunt their gewgaws in the face of sensible and right-tbi:iking girls, with honest fathers and mothers. The curse of lhe American people of the shabby gci.teel order is, that they en tertain the too common idea ihey must live in foolish st!e an 1 two cent splendor, nnd that they will not live in the station where God has pleased to place theui. These shab by genteel folks, with whom the country is groviously afflicted, will persist in rearing their daughters in meretricious, indolence and dollar store magnificence, seem to be unaware that the result is misery. It is wrong to encourage boys in idleness and folly, and the same remark is equalh true as regards girls. Poveity and false pride are ruinous companions, and should net be tol erated by heads of households in very mod erate circumstances.

STRANGE TALE OF ST'sriCTONS PKP.OUDINO FACTS THE IIOMANTTC I.OVE OF AN OHIO MAIDEN. "Xevcr condemn a person of circumstan tial evidence, it is unreliable, even when the circumstances seem to fit into each other like a Cfinple of cog wheels," said John T. Morris, who is an experienced detective of Springfield, Ohio. "Give us the storv, I'ncle John." long ago mere rcsioett in iranunn al -, a i- ,,. county a wealthy old maid, Miss Subintf Smith. By inheritance she was the posses sor of a largb farm, on which was an old fashioned, though comfortable, dwelling house. She, was reputed to have a good square hank account, "How old is she ?" ' Well, on th.e shady side of so, but she had a weakness, like all old ma;ds, notfor kit- ! tens, poodles or canaries, but for children. I I She had raised several orphan girls, who are ! j now well settled in life. In lir she adopt- I j ed a six-year-old, black-eyed girl, bright as j a button, named Moilie McCarn, whose : i father had fallen in battle fighting for his ; j flag and country, while her mother, crazed i : with grief, pined and laded away. Moilie ! I soon learned to love her new mother, and i ! from a prattling maid in short clothes and ! pinafores she in due time bloomed forflj ! into a gushing school girl, and at IS was the ' belle of every rustic gathering the pretty Miss Moilie McCann, over whom the boys i revel while the girls envied. To all her ad- i mirers she turned a deaf ear, and with a pretty toss of the head, and a merry twinkle i of her roguish eye, bade them 'be off, and ' not bother her. " . i "Miss Smith was sensible : knew that 1 Moilie would probably marry and have a home of her own some day, so she neither discouraged her fondness for society nor harped upon the miseries of wedded life in ' the maiden's ear, but when she came back ! from the State Fair at Columbus in 17 s, and told her adopted mother about the young , gentleman that she had met, his attentions and pood qualities. Miss Smith was pot pleased, nor did she hesitate to frown her ; displeasure and advise her ward to turn a willing earto the many suitors of the neigh- ' borhorul, instead of seeking in far-off fields that which was uearer home. "Rut Moilie, like many another, was ! struck on a traveling man, and she carried ' on a secret correspondence with him thro' I a la.ly friend for a long time, until at last 1 they were engaged. Miss Smith and Moilie were the sole occu- ' pants of the house. The bedrooms were four in number, two of which were used as ' spare rooms, one being occupied bv Miss ! Smith and containing two beds, Moilie occu- ' pying the one and Miss Smith tlie other. The fourth b"drooni was called Mollie's, but was ooly used by her when a lady friend was visiting her. I none of tiiese spare bedrooms was an old-fashioned bureau and book case ?itnbined, the top drawer of which could be converted into a desk. The back part of t'ni-fdrawcr wasfitted up wiihsinail drawers. One of these small drawers had from time immemorial been used as a money drawer. In the summer of lsya the sum of t '" was n.isscd fri.i'.i the drawer: in the summer of ls,.i$L'i.n p. oie niysTcrinsly d'-Mppeared. to gether with a quantity of gold coins whh?i had In en in the family for over a rentnrj. (in the lit ih day of last May ?INs Smith loan ed to a neighbor S'f"1, giving him her check and he signing a note in her raver. Sickness , prevented him from presenting the check at ' Cue bank at Columbus, and 1 anting that Miss Smith was going to the city o:i the t.bth, he requested her to get it cashed. She did ' so an 1 returned with Moilie about dark on . that day, having the money all in Si 00 bills, i "The hiv;-c was all seem ly locked down stairs abd Miss Smith deposited the $500 in the secretary drawer, closed the drawer, locking it and placing the key in tlie bureau ; drawer beneath. Sh" then locked the room containing the bureau and placed the key i under some quilts that lay in a wardrobe in : her bedroom. Rcfore rctiiing she locked her bedroom door and she and Moilie retired ' for the night in separate beds in the same 1 room. The nextmorbing, April 1st, the neigh ! bor who had borrowed tin: money, having a ! long journey to perform, during which he j expected to make a payment on some land he ! had purchased, called as early as 5 o'clock, : before Miss Smith and Moilie had arisen. ' ''Awakening Miss Smith, she took her key j from the wardrobe, unlocked the. bed-room, I then taking the bureau tlrawer key from the under drawer of the secretary, opened this I to find the money cone. She went down : : stairs ; everything was locked ana bolted as she had left it the night before." "Who took that money ?" "That was the question that confronted me. There was no sign of a burplary ; no lock forced ; windows and doors all right. No one else in the house but Miss Smith and Moilie. Of course. I at once examined the girl. She talked freely; said she always had a presentiment that the money would be stolen in fact, had a presentiment that night, but feared to tell the old lady for fear of alarming her. I soon learned that Moilie had a key which fitted the bedroom ! containing the bureau, hence my suspicions were strengthened that Moilie had arisen in ' the nigiit, either unlocked the door with her own key or taken the one in the wardrobe, j and seeming the money, hid it either in or out of the bouse without awakening the old lady. I finally told Moilie that I should have to search her and make a thorough ex amination of the house. '"Well, she naivelj- remarked, 'If you do find monev about the house it won't prove that I stole it, will it?" " Tt will be prima facie evidence.' I said. "I locked her up in her bedroom, and be gan a thorough search ; bandboxes pried into, buieau drawers pulled out, cupboards ransacked, and finally went through her own room, j I found in Under the carpet under her bed a compact wad twelve one bun- dred dollar bills. Now, the total amount known to be missing was only fl.015. Where had the f l.V come from ? Where had the gold coins gone to? Was the bureau drawer paying interest on its deposit? " 'Now I've got yon, Moilie,' said I as I confronted her. "Moilie fainted. "A bottle of camphor and a little cold wa- t ; ter brought her speedily to, yet she sturdily j proclaimed her innocence. " I didn't take Miss Smith's monej-; no, I did not,' she convulsively exclaimed between her sobs. "Miss Smith would not allow me lo tike her to Jail, wliern I reasoned confinement would soon con-pel her to confess. "My work, however, was but partially done, for the go'd coins had not turned up. "I determined that thosn coins must be in the house, and resolved rpon a thorough search from cellar to garret. The cellar dis- Dob Durdette, of the IJutlinp'on ii-ruit. t, closed nethinnr, rtnd at last I stumbled upon : discourAth thtisly on this nll-absoibir.g srb n small stairway lending to the gam t, the . jeet : t door of which was a common trap-door, se j curely fastened by a padlock, to which was i attached three links of a chain.

There were cobwebs on the door, but I I notice.! that over the crack f.f the door's edge they seemed to have been broken away, j caused by the door haing been recently opened. With an ax I speedily got the door j open and saw large footsteps in the dust. i Bv the aid of a lamp T followed the course j of the tracks over the boards which lay j across the shaky rafters, to the farthest part ! of the garret, where, over an old crn-beam, j hung a pair of old fashioned saddle bags. !

I found the money, but I found ?12"o too much. The mystery deepened. I resolved , upon one thing and that was that Moilie must know something about the money that was hid under the carpet beneath her bed. I talked kindly to her, told her that Miss Smith's ron?y had al! been found, and org ed her to tell me how the $12oo came under the carpet of her bed. " 'You will not believe me if I tel! you, but if Miss Smith will go out I will explain. I put that money there: it was my lover's. He had saved it out of his wages and given It to me to keep. I destroj'ed his letters for fear my aunt would find it out.' There's the story." "Rut bo-.v did tbe old lady's monev get ' " ; into the garret ?" "She cariied it there herself. She was a somnambulist and walked in her sleep." "How did you prove it, Mr. Mtmis? Did. the old lady let you occ.ipy the bedroom and catch hei ?" "Oh, no. I got the old lady to take off her shoe and Fbioking and place her No. '. f.Kt down on n piece of whit? paper. With a lead pencil I marked out her foot on that sheet of paper. ith a pair of scis-ors I carefully cut out tii exact shape of the old lady.s foot, which fitted exactly in the Hacks in the dust on the garret boards. Besides that, Mollle's foot was much smailei, she only wearinc a No. shoe, "and would not , fit the track. I also on careful examination ' found tracks of cobwebs in the frill of the old lady's night-cap. while Moilie wore no ! nightcap. So ymi see I roved it by both ends the old lady's head and bj' her feet. I explained all to the satisfaction of the old ladj', she paid me m' monej', and I predict a wedding soon at the Smith mansion, with Moilie McCann as the bride." C'iminna'i The Vii.t...E Ti-itn- bs.
