Tilly CTiiTord was sitting one evening in tl: door of her luimblc home, nn old brown ; farm house, sitiintod two niiles away from j the centre of the village of X . She was wondrin what made her father so quiet and sober of late, and why sdie caucht her mother every now ami then wiping away a tear with a stealthy hand. She heard their voiees now, as they were j talking in alow tone in the kitchen, and once j iii a while .c eauuht the words, "mortgage " "forenlosu re," "ejection," and the tike, and j she gionditf-eri very suberly upon their mean- ' iiifj. rrt-ttv soon her father went out, to at- j was standing by the table, clad in tier night dress, and wildly brandishing a large carv ing knife, whose edge, every now and then, she would anparantly try upon tier finger. "God lias many ways of bringing about the same result," said Mrs. Clifford rever ently. I tiave had faith to believe He would help us in our trouble, but I never dreamed 1 1! J 1- 11.,.-,. .. ! r. :i i! v in N'-w Hi li..i -k ' Vt ,-fi-l .".rM -i : i ti-nd to mattt-rs at the barn, and her mother i ea lied to her to "come in." "S;t down, my c-hi she ?" slie muttered ; tier neck is so thin and white. The fiends tell me I'll have a fount of Mood to-night. Ha, ha I"' Tilly tried to scream, but she couldd't make a sound. To her intense relief T'nele John, who, as lie afterward expressed it, "had not undressed at all, but had slept with one eye open," rushed ont of the bed room and wrem-hed the knife from the frantic wo woman, seized her by the arm, and. marched her back to her room. Tiy the time she reached there the fierce glitter had gone from her eyes, and she scem- 11a! she'll make a nice victim, won't j it would come in the way it lias. Tlow can we ever be thankful enough ?" A few days after the whole family went upon a journey, and when they returned they brought with them a clear title to the little household. After paving the mortgage they invested one hundred and firty dollars in the bank for Tilly, and the remaining fifty thuy presented to Uncle John, thus enablinc the old gentleman to purchase some farm im plements he had long nerded. Tilly never forgot this lesson of her girl hood, or the lesson of God's watchful care over us which it taught her. Knllou's fonf!i'i Mnyoxinr. IT BEATS LIFE INSURANCE. tim: jioli.s ri(M(.

"Oh -n-.Mher! will it he possible foi father ! to do so?" asked Tilly anxiously. j "There is only one hope. We have tho't of a friend about thirty miles from here, who i nny possibly let us have the money, and al- j low us to transfer the mortgage to him." "I do hope he will, mother; it would be so ! drearlful to have him leave the old house." ! "Ic will he as find wills," replied Mrs. j Ci'nTord : but we must make every effort we 1 can t, save it, V.'e think of taking the j journey in ourown wagon, to save expenses, and we have decided to start to m irrow 1 morning. You wi'I not be afraid t' stay J lu re alone through the day, will you ? We have arranged for your Uncle John to come ' here niel sleep the night we are away." "It will be dreadfully lonesome here with ; you both away ; but I am not in the least j afraid to stay," said Tilly bravely. j As tl.cy wished te take an early start in ' the moiTiing, the family retired very soon af- j ter Mr. Clifford returned from doing his barn . chores. Tilly av.i Ve at sumlse, m:d found that her mother and father had been up already ijuite a while, and the preparations for their jour- I iii-y were nearly made. . j "Don't leave th" hou-e. except to go a 1 s'mit distance, and be very careful, Tilly, : about fiiv," said Mrs. Clifforn as they drove -' away. ! '1 illy gave the de-ired promise, klss?d j them good bye, and then went into the house, , to forget her loneliness as best she cnn'-l in j ihiing up the morning housework. 1 She had a long dav, all to herself, and ; manv a little piece of work that had been ; put by for a favoiabl- time she managed to I finish.

Tito two gins were soon chatting as fa- I miliar!)- as though they had always known ca - h other. As it gicv toward night, the siia'ige lady's friends did not appear. Tiliy i wondered why she appeared so perfectly : easy about her situation. ; Not iong after ten, tho young lady said, 1 "If you will allow me to spend the night here, 1 w ill make some arrangements wliere- . by I can meet my friends fuithur on." I "I should be ery glad to have you stay," replied Tilly, "as my father and mother have . gone upon a journey, and it will be pleasant j to Lave company." ! Ij and by I ncle John came in, and was 'k 'I ' '"'J"'lu'';c' t0 Tilly's visitor, who made her : self cr agreeable to him, as she talked about crops and other matters that she tbo't ' won ,d interest him. Slie retired quite early, and Tilly gave her , the spare bed-room, which led out of the par , lor. 'Where did that young woman come from?' I asked uncle John, as Tilly retun.eJ to the j kitihen. ' e-iie explained the story of having become ; separated from her friends, and of seeking j icst there. ; "It is rather of a strange statement, I I should think," replied Uncle John, j "Do you think there is anything wrong about her, Uncle John ? " asked Tilly, anx iously. "I cannot say there is," ho replied, "but there's a strange glitter in her eye once in a while, which 1 don't like. I think she'll bear watching." There Avere two bedrooms leading from the kitchen. Till occupied one, and Uncle John the other, where Mrs. and Mr. Clifford unially slept. About midnight Tilly aAVoke AvitU a start and thought she heard strange sounds in the kitchen. Mie crept out of bed and looked through the crack of the door which was ajar. There she saw a sight which froze her Moo I wph i.-.rrr.r. Her young lany guest ! ed as docile as a child. Shutting her into j j the room and barricading the door, Uncle John returned again to the kitchen. Iu the meantime, Tiily had diessed and stood there, with a white face, awaiting him. I "O, Uncle John I" she cried, in a hoarse j whisper, "I do believe she meant to kili me ; J what does it mean ! "It means.

I'm afraid to stay here another I minute, Uncle John, and, as for sleeping, I'm sure I shall not close my eyes again to night." i "Her madness conies on by spells, I think, j and we won't be troubled by tier any more to-night. You go to bed, and I'll keep Avatch the rest of the night," said Uncle j John. ! Assured thus of safety, Tilly retired to her ' room, but she was too excited to sleep sound- j Iy, and only caught a short nap nosv and then. i Next morning the young lady came out, j daintily dressed, to breakfast, and looked , and appeared so perfectly sane, tiiat Tilly i was almost fain to belie-e that the incident : of the night before yvas only a horrible dream, i She retired to her room as soon as the m-'al was finished, and while Uncle John and ! Tilly were consulting as to Avhat should be done, they Avere 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 feathers"' he asked, hurriedly. "Yes, sir ; she is here now," said Tilly. "Won't you come in and see her '."' "Thank God !" he exclaimed, fervently. Then, turning to the lady in the carriage, he called out : "Dismiss your fears, my deai. Alice is here." The lady soon after entered, and Tilly im mediately conducted her to her daughter's room. Upon her return to the kitchen, Tilly told '; the circumstances of the yonng lady's ar rival, ami Uncle John related her midnight visit to the kitchen, and the muttered tlueats ; they had heard her make while holding the '. knife. i "My unhappy child," said the poor father, j in a broken voice, while the tears rolled ' down his cheeks. She lias beer, bereft of ! reason for the past three, years, and been the ! inmate of an asylum until recently.

The wedding day was fixed. a sort of red glow came on the paper, which but suddenly the mines stopped work, and 1 I remembered afterward, but at the time I thought little of. However, the heat became so noticeable that 1 at last started up to attend to the stove Avhicn I supposed Avas the culprit : but to my dismay and astonishment, directly my eyes were raised, I saw the Avhole roof of my hut already in flames, and burning fiercely un der a strong wind which was blowing thro' the trees outside. What followed was very brief and decisive. My "bo,.

So I proceeded to save what was possible, the j estate books weie got out first, along with a lot of my own, Avhich will hear the marks of the jungle mud, into which they were thrown, I as long as they last ; and then I unlocked i some drawers and salvaged several parcels of money, lly this time the place was like a bake oven, and burning "tore and aft," and ; the wild looking crowd of coolies outside j was thrown out of a job. Lizzie was living j home with her parents, and after I had told j her of my bad luck we concluded not to get j married, because we had no money to eom i mence housekeeping, and I had very poor j prospects ahead. One day George Merritt, a neighbor of mine, called to see me. lie taught school at DryTIock during the winter season. He said he heard that I was going tobe married soon, and I told him of my bad j iHck. He told me not to let that worry me, i and said that if I would let him take out a j marriage insurance policy on me and then I marry, he would buy me an eighty-dollar j walnut bedroom set of furniture, with amar i ble top yvasiistand, bureau and table. He j said he was the agent of one of tho new com j panics, and that he would take out a policy for ?.",,ooo and have it transferred to himself. ' 1 said I was w illing that he should it 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, anil I said it was all right, and that thev should come i along. The very next evening another agent came and offered to buy me a flower : ed carpet for a fror.t room, a flowered carpet i for a sitting room, and a rag carpet for the kitehen. I was delighted with the business, and I tuld him he might take out the policy. In the meantime I had seen Lizzie, and she t ; seemed first to dislike the idea, but finally told me to use my own judgment. Along j came another agent and he agreed to fur 'Till M-st -lilat was were yelling and dancing about. quiie at their i nish two bed rooms for the privilege of ":n- wits' end. One old woman rushed bravely in, and making for my sleeping compartment, seized a blanket and pillow, which she gripped lightly in her dusky arms and carried about w ith her for the rest of the time, being much too excited to lay them any whore. Fired by this example, some coolies made a iush into the porch. Unfortunately- my door opened outward, and in the scuttle, banged to and kept hard shut in my face by the great crowd outside, of whom the men near est the door were pressed close against it by the others further away. In vain I kicked and shouted : it was firm, and the dense yel low smoke was blinding me and getting down my throat. At length I called out to the head native "ir.aistry," who I knew was outside, "Jowra maistry, knock some of these, fools doAvn and clear my door." Then there came the refreshing "U hack. Whack," of his stick, and the crowd parted and the hor opened, but not too soon. Al ready the flaming mass or the roof overhead was rocking on the slender uprights which supported it. Any moment it might, faip The last I saw of the Interior of my hut yvas the ready-set table : the lamp still burning placidly in the thick yellow smoke, the white surmg us. I accepted this offer, arid looked for the next agent. To make a long story short, fifteen agents agreed to take policies 'for f".0eo, and thus I became insured for 575. 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 this modest two story house here, and Lizzie and Ik r friends scrubbed anil scoured it from top to bortom. 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 yvas covered with printed matter, blank forms, &e. Each agent either gave me an order on a store or ; the cas'i money as soon as I had signed his papers. Afterward I learned that the or ders were on stores ow ned by the officers of ; the insurance companies. Weil, with this money and the orders in hand Ave gi t mar , ried and then furnished our house as yon : see it here. I invite you 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 ami the pic tures and that parlor organ were ail bought I for us in the same way. The agents ex--' plained to me that one year after our mar- tablecloth on fire in twenty places, and big '. riage each of those ?."i,ono policies Avould be and she gazed at it in pleased wonder. How long the time seemed till night, for then she expected her parents home. At last they drove slowly into the yard, and from the ex pression of sadness upon both tiieir faces, she knc.v their errand had been a fruitless one. "Your father's friend was unable to make bs the loan, and he has come home feeling utterly discouraged," said Mrs. ij'iid, as she sank wearily into a chair. ' I'm so sony," said Tilly, with trembling lips: "but it isn't so bad to lose onr home as though some one of us had been killed or gone crazy." Then, as her father entered soon after, j Tilly told all about the exciting events of the previous day and night. As thoy realized the danger Utat had threatened theii only child, Mrs. Clifford ex claimed, thankfully : "Yon weie right, Tilly, in saying that cur trouble is not the worsi that could befall us ; we'll bear it with becoming fortitude, now that ail our lives are spared." A few evening3 after, while the family were sitting together in the twilight, a neighbor, who had been to the postoffie, threw a letter into the open door. Tilly lighted a candle, and her father gazed curiously at the direction and the postmark. Hakes of matting, falling, smoking, loft and right. Scarcely had the door opened and freed me, when I heard the sharp.crack of n.v- rev.ilver T-liieli lump nil lua.lerl nt. the head of my bed, and the bullet whistled overhead. The pistol had become red hot, and now, added to the general confusion by falling to the ground, and every now and then leaping up and firing a shot promiscuously into the crowd. This reminded me of my unfortu nate guns, which there had been no time to save, and they, in turn, reminded me of a woith about fl.TtO each. That is why thev Avere so anxious to furnish my house.
