"S;t clown, my child," she said, as Tilly en i temi. "1 want to have a little talk with i you." The girl obeyed, rightly thinking that ; whatever was troubling her parents was about to be revealed. I '-We have been hanassed greatly for some j time now," her mother began, "with the the fear that we should lose our little home,' ; '-Lose our home ? Why mother I thought ' that father owned it : that it was left to : him by Grandfather Clifford." "So it was, dear ; and your father received it free from incumbrance, but, in an evil was standing bv the table, clad in her night t dress, and wildly brandishing a large carv J ing knife, whose edge, every now and then, j the would atiparantly try upon her finger. God has many ways of bringing about the same result," said Mrs. Clifford rever pntly. I have had faith to believe He would help us in our trouble, but I never dreamed '11a : she'll make a nice she ?" she muttered : her neck is so thin and white.

Oh -mother! will it be possible foi father to do so?" asked Tilly anxiously. "There is only one hope. We have tho't of a friend about thirty miles from here, who nnv possibly let us have the money, and al low ns to transfer the mortgage to him." "I do hope he will, mother; it would be so i .Ireariful to have him leave the old hmie." "It will tie as God wills," replied Mrs. ; Clifford : but we mn-t make every effort we j can to save it, V.'e think of taking the j i'liirnev in our own wagon, tosave expenses, and we have decided to start to m utow morning. You will not be afraid to stay J here alone through the day, will you? We have arranged for your Uncle John to come ' here and sleep the night we are away." J "it will be dreadfully lonesome here with you both away : but I am not in the least ; afraid to stay," said Tilly bravely. i As tl.ey wished te take an early start in ' the morning, the family retired very soon af- ; ter Mr. Clifford returned from doing his barn ! chores. Tilly av.cko at stinti-e, jind found that her mother and father had been up already finite a while, atpl the preparations for their jour- I r.ey were nearly made. - , "iion't leave th" house, except to go a ' shott dNtanee, and be very careful, Tilly, j about fire," said Mrs. Cli'Torn as thev drove i aivay. ! Til'v g.ivo the de-ireil promise, klss.d j ; them good bye, and then went into the house, i to forget her loneliness a lest she cou'd in : d 11114 np th. i morning housework. j She had a long dav, all to herself, and ; many a Huh piece of work that had been pu t iiy for a favorable time she managed to I fini-h. In Cue afternoon she happened to : think of an interesting book, which one of her -aiio.'i frieiuK had lent her a day or two before, nnd she sat down by the open win dow to enjoy it. ; Sh-J was ab-orhr-fl in its contents, tliat she was turt!ed when she heard a sweet ; voice say 'Shul! I intrude if I step in and nt my j self a few moments ?" Tiily looked up. and young lady, beauti ful'y dressed, stood before her. She had a j veet. v inning face, and the most faultless giaee of liPi'.ir.er. She v. as instantly charm- i ed v. ::h her strange visitor, and quickly re- j plied. j "Not in the least. Walk right in." The young lady took the chair offered, ; whieh was a large cushioned rocker, and i i sank into its easy depths in ut'er weariness. t "I v. a.s journeying with my friends," bhe ; said, ".ind somehow have si raved a way from ; . then:, tod we have become separated." i "1 daresay they will find you," said Tilly, j hopefully, "and in the meantime, you may j rtst here as long as you choose." i i "Thank you : this is such a clean, cozy lit- j tie home, it will be a real treat to stay here : a while," replied the young lady, The two gins were soon chatting as fa-I mili.uly ;i.s though they had always known I '. ea ;-h otliiT. As it gie-.v toward night, the j U ange lady's friends del not appear. Tiliy j : wondered why she appeared so perfectly : easy about her situation. ; Not long alter ten, the young lady said, 1 "If you will aliow me to spend the night here, I will make some arrangements where- i by I can meet my friends finthur on." "I should be very glad to have you stay," replied Tilly, "as my father and mother have gone upon a journey, and it will be pleasant i to have company." I Iy and by Uncle John came in, and was ' int loduced to Tilly's visitor, who made her j self erj agreeable to him, as she talked . about crops and other matters that she tho't ; would interest him. She retired quite eaily, and Tilly gave her one eye open,' rushed ont of the bed room and wrenched the knife from the frantic wo woman, seized her by the arm, and.inarched her back to her room. IJy the time she reached there the fierce glitter had gone from her eyes, and she seem ed as docile as a child. Shutting her into the room and barricading the door, Uncle John returned again to the kitchen. In the meantime, Tilly had dressed and j stood there, with a white face, awaiting him. j "O, Uncle John !" she cried, in a hoarse j whisper, "I do believe she meant to kili me ; j what does it mean ?" ! "It means, child, that the woman is crazy, ! and has probably escaped from some lunatie asylum." "l, dear ! I'm afraid to stay here another minute. Uncle John, and, as for sleeping, I'm sure I shall not close my eyes again to night." "Her madness conies on by spells, I think, and we, won't be troubled by her any more bed, and I'll keep watch the rest of the night," said Uncle John. Assured thus of safety, Tilly retired to her room, but she was too excited to sleep sound ly, and only caught a short nap now and then. Next morning the young lady came out, daintily dressed, to breakfast, and looked and appeared so perfectly sane, that Tilly was almost fain to believe that the incident of the night before was only a horrible dream. She retired to her room as soon as the nu-al was finished, and while Uncle John and . Tilly were consulting as to what should be done, they were startled to see a handsome carriage, with a span of horses drive up. A pale, anxious-looking gentleman came hastily up the walk, and knocked upon the door. 'Have yon seen anything of a young lady, dressed in a black silk dress and sack, and a white hat, trimmed with lace and fealhv.-rsJL"' he asked, hurriedly. "Yes, sir; she is here now," said Tiily. "Won't you come in and s"e her?" "Thank God :" he exclaimed, fervently. Then, turning to the lady in the carriage, he called out : "Dismiss your fears, my deal. Alice is here." The lady soon after entered, and Tiliy im mediately conducted her to her daughter's room. Upon her return to th the circumstances of thwy presented to Uncle John, thus enabling the olJ. gentleman to purchase some farm im plements he bad long needed. Tilly never forgot this lesson of her girl hood, or the lesson of God's watchful eare over us which it taught her. liallou' Jfontti'y Titngozinf. weekly newspapers to-day : On Sept. 14, by TIev. Y.

I was busy writing, and the evening being cold and wet, and fever still banging about me, on that eventful day I had made a fire in the stove in my little hut, the chimney of which passed up through the thatch of the roof.

Xo secret is made of the fact that thev were first insured by speculators for about ?75,0O0 in a dozen or more marriage insurance com panies. Mr. Boyer, the trroom, was asked if he bad any objection to giving his experi ence in this entirely new method of starting in life, and he promptly renled, with a smile : "Of course not. I am willing to let every body know all about it. so that other young people may enjoy good luck also.

The wedding day was fixed. : a sort of red glow came on the paper, which j but suddenly the mins stopped work, and 1 ! I remembered afterward, but at the time I was thrown out of a job. Lizzie was living thought little of. home with her parents, and after I had told However, the heat became so noticeable that 1 at last started up to attend to the stove which I supposed was the culprit : but to my dismay and astonishment, directly my eyes were raised, I saw the whole roof of my hut already in flames, and burning fiercely un der a strong wind which was blowing thro the trees outside. What f oltowed was very brief and decisive. My "bor" was just com ing round from Cue kitchen with a dish of I curry, but when be saw that astonishing , sight, be stood spell bound for a moment, : and then down went the curry and he rlew i to the big bell hanging to a tree close by, ar.d rang a peal which brought the coolies swarm , ing up the hid in a dusky, yelling crowd for ' their "lines." ' Haifa glance showed me that it was im i possible to save the hut, for it was now well i alight, and the strong wind increased the ' flames every moment, while the nearest wat ; er was at the bottom of the hill, and I knew I well t'n.it before we could collect chattels and organize a fire brigade it would be all over. j her of my bad luck we concluded not to get j married, because we bad no money to coin . mence housekeeping, and I had very poor j prospects ahead. One day George Merritt, ; a neighbor of mine, called to see me. He taught school at Dry Rock during the winter j season. He said be heard that I was going ! to be married soon, and I told him of my bad j iHck. He told me not to let that worry me, ! and said that if I would let him take out a marriage insurance policy nn me and then i marry, be would buy me an eighty-dollar j walnut bedroom set of furniture, with a mar i ble top washstand, bureau and table. He ; said he was the agent of one of the new com j panics, and that he would take out a policy 1 for ?.",ooo and have it transferred to himself. - 1 said I was willing that he should if Lizzie was. My friend Merritt then told me that he had a few friends who would use me well if they might have the same privilege of in suring me in the other companies, am', I said ! it was all right, and that they should come along. The very next evening another t:v Th ft' nnd lest -.1 1 m 7 A 7 rival, and Uncie John visit to the kitchen, at thev had heard her n knife.

' "It was a narrow escape," said Uncie John ; "as it happened, there was no harm 1 done, and I am elad that your daughter is safe." ' Soon after the young lady appeared ae- i companicd by her mother, and dressed for i her journey. As her father passed out of the dour he thrust a bill into Tilly's hands i with the remark. i "I owe you a debt of gratitude for shelter- ! ing my daughter, and you shall hear fiom me again." j Tiily opened her hand, and a crisp five ; dollar bill lay upon her palm. She had nev er owned so much money in her life before, , and she gazed at it in pleased wonder. How i long the time seemed till night, for then she I expected her parents home. At last they j drove slowly into the yard, and from the ex- j pression of sadness ujxiu both their faces, j she knew their eriand had been a fruitless ' one. "Your father's friend was unable to make i us the loan, and he has come home feeling j llP an,i firin4T a sl'ot promiscuously into the utterly discouraged," said Mrs. 'ord, as Sol proceeded to save what was possible, the agent came and offered to buy me a flower ed carpet for a fror.t room, a flowered carpet : for a sitting room, and a rag carpet for the kitchen. I was delighted with the business, and I told him he might take out the policy. In the meantime I had seen Lizzie, and she ; sfemed first to dislike the idea, but finally ; told me to use my own judgment. Along came another agent and he agreed to fur ' nish two bed rooms for the privilege of in j suring us. I accepted this offer, and looked ' for the next agent. To make a long story short, fifteen agents agreed to take policies ' for f "i.O'iO, and thus I became insured for fTo.ooo in about a dozen companies. Every agent made a present of some kind, and when all the details were ready to be carried out. I rented (his modest two story house here, and Lizzie and lif r friends rubbed ; and scoured it from top to bottom. I met the agents over at my uncle's tavern in a ; back room. I signed the applications and , the assignments one after another until the large, old fashioned table was covered with printed matter, blank forms, A-e. Each agent either gave me an order on a sb.ro or , the cash money as soon as I had signed his j papers. Afterward I learned that the or ders were on stores owned by t he officers of the insurance companies. Well, with this , money and the orders in hand we got mar . ried and then furnished our house as yon see it here. I invite on to examine it from . top to bottom, Even thing is new, so you see how the marriage insurance business ' works for us. Yes, those, vases and the pic tures and that parlor organ were ail bought j for us in the same way. The agents ex ' plained to me that one year after our mar riage each of those ?V'imi policies would be ' woith about Si, 740 each. That is vvhythey were so anxious to furnish my house, i "Two other agents, wanted us to have a ; bridismaid at our wedding. They went to my wife's sister Helen, and asked her if slie ! would accept a handsome sill: dress to wear at the wedding as a bridesmaid. She got estate books were got out first, along with a lot of my own - ''ieh will bear the marks or i ' i'i i which they were thrown. t ; and then I unlocked ilvaged several parcels of ne the place was like a ing "tore and aft," and iwd of coolies outside ing about, quite at their shed bravely in, and ; compartment, seized which she gripped is and carried about ie time, being much anv w7iere.

At length I called out to the liea.l native "maistry," who I knew was outside, "Jowra maistry, knock some of these, fools down and clear my door." Then there came the refreshing "Whack, Whack," of his stick, and the crowd parted and the d.ior opened, but not too soon.

I was so disgusted with the bridesmaid, but Lizzie said that the thing , had cone on long enough, and that the insur- ; auce business must stop right there.
