Bnt as the Old Tear spoke, a sonnd Of voices low and sweet Struck on his ear, and. peering; round, He stayed his lagging feet. Two lovers leaned them side by side. On either cheek a tear. And with a strons, sad voice, one cried : "Good-bye, good bye, Old year I "Good-bye, Oh kindly friend and true, Who wove our live, in one. Other good years aiay come ; bnt you Are still our dearestone." Then smiled the Old Year, as ha went, His misty eyes sbane bright. And, fearless now and quite content. He faded into the night. And when he met the new-born year, All rosy, blithe and ear. He cheered him with a father's cheer And sped him on his way.

In 1853 we lived In one of the bilitowns on the upper Ohio. It was a dingy, dishearten ing piace. The streets along the river were lined with glass and afeel mills, and the hills walling in the back of the town were honey combed with coal mines. The air was heavy with the rolling bituminous smoke, and the low brick houses were streaked wltb soot. It was as commonplace and Ignoble a spot, perhaps, as any in which men work and live. Tet there, as everywhere else, heroic deeds were simply and unconsciously done. "Epaminondas did not need Olympus to belD him to die, nor the Syrian sunshine." One little Incident of our life there may be worth telling. Honor Neal was a plump, merry little Irish widow who worked early and late as a washer-woman to support herself and her son. One day Mrs. Sprout, one of her employ era a lasly who controlled ber own family so well that she had time to manage the af fairs of all her neighbors stopped at her gate. "Honor, It Is high time that great boy of voura was nut to some mcnlar emnlnvment He cannot spend all his life carrying baskets of clothes." "Indsde, an that's thrue. An he's trot the folne head on him, Teddy has I But be seems to be dull Id the use of bis hands, mem." "Laiy. eh ? Haa he had any schooling ?" "Och. he has that same. Tather Ttvan he saw the felne head he had. an' tnk kirn In the parish school, to make a praste of him. out ne was dull at the Latin aa' be sint him home." "He's good for nothing, then ?" "Indade. mem. an' it's he has the ereat taste for epidars aa bugs. He has a big collection." "Send him here, to-night. I'll get my hnsband to put him to work in the store. ne ought to be earning something instead of spending his time In the fields gathering bugs." Bnt Teddy proved as dull at weighing su gar and measuring molasses as be was at Latin. He knew every cranny and hiding place in the hills within ten miles, but he never could find the starch and tape-measure In the shop, ne could tell yeu the color and habits of every bird, fish or moth in the woods, but he stared vacantly at the custom ers across the counter when thej asked for "Lone Jack," er "Nigger head." In a fortnight he had an empty corner of the shop filled with his bottles of snakes, or sheets of beetlrs or butterflies. Did an old woman want balm, or a ba lsara apple. Ted dy was eager to run to the hills If bis em ployer would allow him to go. He was the guide for many of the berrying parties which the young folks started during the summer. Eyerybcdy, in fact, liked the alow apoken, gentle Ud, whose big gray eyes stared absently at them everywhere but In the woods, where be became a boy, keen and alert. But in September Mr. Sprout discharged hlra as utterly worthless for shop-work. A week later I met his mother. "Is It Teddy ? Och an' he's fixed for life, now ! Mrs. Sprout she got the bow ay the Feuton coal mine to take biro on ttirial. It's a foine place, she says, an he'll make good wages." 'jor Ted, shut up In a coal-pit! He seemed to me to be born for a life in the woods, as Much as a deer, or fox, or any other wild creature. When the fall came we used to beg for Teddy to be free from bis grimy black pris on lors cay, io go with us to the woods; but to no purpose. His ruother said be had "got down tn stiddy work, an' was done wid runnin' wild like a ground squirrel." I met him once at nightfall, creeping home thin and ntooped, bis eyes looking big and wild in the black mass of eoal dust that covered his face and clothes. There bad recently beea some accidents In the neighboring mines from the cavibg in of a shaft. "Take care of yourself, Teddy," I said. "I wish you were out of that pit." Teddy's eyes twinkled io the black. "I kin git out av that pit any minute I plaxe," be aaid. lowering bis yoice. "I found a erack back of Presley's HUla a year ago. It's a hole ladlu' Into tbe mine. Nothin' kin happen to me in there." Tbe vary next day there was an alarm through tbe town. There bad been ao ex plosion In Fenton'a mine, aad thirty me a were buried. Whether they were living er dead nobody knew. The church bells rang furiously. Every body left tbelr dinners It was about one o'clock and ran to tbe atreete. The crowd tJ'Mtl Wf Ova b a Wtjbbx judge, lawyers and Jury left the prisoner and tbe constable In the dock, aad Joi ned the throDg rushing down the river road. The community was small. Everybody knew these thirty men. Tbelr wives and children were gathered at the mouth of the pit. They all belonged to Father Ryan's flock, but Mr. Knox, the Methodist parson, and Dr. Floyd, the Episcopalian, were busy as he, quieting and cheering them. Honor was slttlag on the bank ; not crying like the others. Her round face looking pinched and drawn. A basket of newly Ironed clothes stood beside her, for she bad been on ber way home with them when the dull report of tbe explosion was beard. Mrs. Sprout was near her, sobbing and talk, ing loudly. "Teddy's in there," she cried, as I came up. "I sent him there. I wish 1 bad left him at home. It's always my luck when I do the best I can to help people 1" At that moment there was a shout from the men at work at tbe mouth of the mine, and some twenty ot tbe miners emerged from the mouth of the pit, stunned and ter rified by tbe explosion, but otherwise un hurt. Teddy was not among them. "Where are the other men?" demanded Father Ryan, as soon aa be could make him self heard. "Where's Teddy Neal?" cried Mrs. Sprout, catching the foreman by the shoul der and pushing his sobbing wife aside. "They are In a back passage behind the neap or siate made by the explosion. We were this aide of It," be answered. "Ted was with us, an an' " He looked uneasily at Honor, who had come op to him and was staring into his face with her lips open. Tbcy moved to ask a question, but she could not make a sound. "Where Is the boyf" said Mrs. Sprout, Impatiently. "He turned back to go to them. I could not help it I" be exclaimed, appealing to Doctor Floyd. "He would have it that he knew a way out of the back of the mine ; and that If it were open, he could guide the men through it." "How did he get to them ?" "There was a crack at the top of the heap of slate, and he's such a lean little chap that he wriggled through with our pushing him behind." "You pushed him to his death I" Mrs, Sprout screamed. And then a sudden si lence fell on the crowd. Every man ar.d woman there understood that the boy had not five chances In ten for life, when he crawled into the blackness ef the walled up pit to save his fellow-workmea, and that he had deliberately taken the risk. Father Ryan said something to the fore man, carefully lowering his voice, that Hon or might not hear of "fire-damp." "So I t,ld the boy, your reverence But be was determined to go. I could not stop him." There was nothing for us to do but wait. Tbe men were in the heart of tbe hill, which rose before us quiet in the warm sun shine, with its black seas yawning through the grss and weeds. It was impossible now to reach them. If alive, they doubtless were struggling thiough the black passages ef the mine toward the outlet which Teddy had found, or thought he had found. Every man of tbe crowd believed tbe boy to be mistaken. It was not likely that such an opening could exist, and no miner ever bad discovered It But nobody bad the heart to hint a doubt with Honor and tbe wives and mothers of the buried men to hear it. So the crowd waited ; whispering to each other, listening with bated breath for some sound from within aery a muffled knock ing which should show that the buried men still lived. As long as there was a chance of their es cape by any back passage, however slight, the men feared to begin work on the heap of fallen slate at the mouth of tbe pit, as any concussion might bring down masses of earth from the roof of tbe ohambers, already loosed by the explosion. Honor came up to the Methodist parson. "How long will it take Teddy to bring them out, sir?" Tbe good old man avoided her eye. "Tbat depends on well, really. I don't know wbere the passage, is. Now, my poor soul, let us trust in Ood. ne will take care of Teddy in the pit Just as well as if he were here beside you." "But I want blm beside me. air. The Lord's always left Teddy to me to take care of. I want him, air. I want me little b'y." Mr. Knox began to speak, but his voice wa beard. Every man looked at his neigh bor. One of the miners muttered "fire damp," which Is another name for death, in these pita ; but the others were silent Then earoe a sound like thunder and a heavy crash. There had been another ex plosion, and the roof of the main chamber had probably fallen. Shrieks of despair went up from the women, "It's all over 1" said Father Ryan. "Look at blm!" cried Honor, wildly, pointing down the road. "My b'y Teddy I" There, coming up the road, black aa ne groes, were nine men, every one of them alive and shouting. Teddy leading the van. Tbey had reached the mouth of tbe open ing and had dragged each oiber through, and bad time to come down from Presley's Hills before the second explosion. There was a town meeting that night. It was a gathering which would seem queer and old-faahioned enough nnw-a-days. There was a great table aet io the town ball, and every housewife sent something to be eaten, from Mrs. Judge Larkins's frosted cake, to poor Honor's loaf of bread ; and rich and poor came, the miners and their wivea in their Sunday elothca, to shake hands and rejoice together. The Methodist and Presbyterian clergy men offered prayer, and Father Ryan and Judge Lark Ins made speeches, and there were plenty of jokes and laughing and kind ly feeling. But most of the glory of the occasion fell to Teddy's share. In bis speech welcoming tbe company, Judge Larkins mentioned him as worth nothing in a shop, or a school, and only showing ability in a mine by getting out of it. He proposed, therefore, tbat a subscrip tion be raised In the town, to enable Teddy to follow bia vocation of naturalist, to which he bad so evidently been called. There was a great deal of cheering, and a large collection was taken np, Bat I sus pect that the judge himself took Teddy's fortunes In band after that, for tbla collec tion would only keep him at school for a year or two. But after school he worked bis way thro' wtMleA CTntsar Tmv niir vasnltcm. Th whole town was proud of blm, and ao am I, for Teddy Is now a respected and most en thusiastic professor of mineralogy and bota ny In a large Western town. TcvtYt Com panion. SUPEKSTITIOXS ABOUT LOTK. From the earliest times no event in human life has been associated with a more exten sive folk lore than marriage. Beginning with love divinations, these are of every con ceivable kind, the anxious maiden apparent ly baring left no stone unturned In ber anx iety to ascertain her lot In the marriage state. Some cut the common brake or fern Just above the root to ascertain the initials of the future husband's name. Again, nuts and apples are very ravorlte love tests. The mode of procedure Is for a girl to place on the bars of a grate a nut, repeating this In cantation : If he loves me, pop and fly ; If he hates me, lie and die. Great ia the dismay If tbe anxious face of the Inquirer gradually perceives the nut. in stead of making the hoped-for pop, die and make ro sign. One means ot divination Is to throw a lady- bird Into the air, and re peating meanwhile the subjoined couplet : Fly away east, and flr away west. Show me where lives the one I like best. Should tl-ls little Insect chance to fly In In tbe direction of the bouse where the loved one reside It is regarded as a most favora ble omen. Another species of love divination or.ee observed consisted In obtaining five bay leaves, four of which the anxious maiden pinned at the four corners of ber pillow, and the fifth in the middle. If she was for tunate enough to dream of ber lover. It was a sure sign that he would be married to her In the course of the year. In selecting the time for the marriage cer emony precautions of every kind have gen erally been taken to avoid an unlucky month and day for the knot to be tied. In deed, the old Roman notion that the May marriages are unlucky survives to this day In England. June Is a highly popular month. Friday, on account of its being re garded as an lnanspicious and evil day for the commencement of any kind of enter prise, is generally avoided. In days gone by Sunday appears to have been a popular day for marriages. It Is, above all things, becessary that the sun should shine on the bride, and It is deemed absolutely necessary by very many that she i should weep on her wedding day, if it be I only a few tears ; the omission of such an ! art being considered ominous of h-r future happiness. In Sussex, a bride on her return home from church la often robbed of all her pins about her dress by the single women pres ent, from the belief that the possessor of one of them will be married in the course of a year, and evil fortune will sooner or later Inevitably overtake the bride who keeps even one pin used In the marriage toilet "Flinging the stocking" was an old mar riage cust-.m In England. The young men took the bride's stockings, and the girls those of the bridegroom, each of whom sit ting at the foot of the bed, threw the stock ings over their heads, endeavoring to make tt fall upon that of tbe bride or her spouse. If the bridegroom's stockings, thrown by the girls, fell upon the bridegroom's head, it was a sign tbat they themselves would soon be married, and similar lack was de rived from tl.e falling of the bride's stock ings thrown by the young men.

A good many years ago a cashier took a little lad from a neighboring poorhouse, and when the boy had become a youth he was given a re sponsible position in the bank of nhlch his patron w s practically the head. Later, the cashier stole more than $15,000 from the bank. Exposure was threatened every day, and the guilty officer, in a period of depres sion, confessed to the yonth that he proposed to kill himself. Young Ray, the protege, was smitten with horror as he thought of the terrible turn In affairs, but having weighed the matter the next day be threw himself Into the breach. He suggested and the cash ier eagerly accepted the suggestion that he should fasten the guilt upon himself and abscond, thue leaving hU patron honest In the world's eyes, though blackened In bia own. What the public heard of the West port robbery was that a bank clerk named Ray had stolen flJS.OOO. Detectives fonnd several clues but not un til years afterward was the secret disclosed. One of the detectives who had been employ ed In tbe case came np with Ray under still more romantic circumstances. The neteet Ive, according to bis remlnlsccncea published last week In a San Francisco paper, was called recently to a Western city to ferret ont the person who bad robbed a private bouse of 200 gold eagles. The enly man under arrest was one Henry Martin. As soon as the deteetfve saw Mar tin the former said, ."You are Dallaa Kay, who robbed the Wesport bank." Ray then told the true story of the robbery, and the story has been verified sinee. Ray claimed that he was Innocent of the gold eagle bur glary, and aeked the detective to take a note to his sweetheart, a Miss Moore. When the latter hear! of her lover's predicament she threw her whole soul Into obtaining proof of his Innocence. She went to the bouse wbere the robbery bad been committed. Having Having asked if the burglar had left any thing in bis flight, she was given a handker chief that had been dropped by the intruder. She put the handkerchief to tier nose and exclaimed : "Find the thief who uses this perfume (naming the peculiar brand) and you will find;your eagles." It was found that only one drug store In the city sold that kind of perfumery, and that only one bottle had been bought within the preceding moaih. Need It he added that the purchaser waa traced, the eagle regained, and tbe tovera married. g No Camkis Hair for Hkr. "Have you any black ladles' cloth ?" she asked, ambling up to the eounter and focusing ber glasses on the mild-mannered clerk. "No, ma'am," he answered, civilly, "but we have a choice ar ticle in camel's hair." "Do I look as if I was In need of camel'a hair?" ahe asked, leaning over the counter. "See here, young man, when I want hair I know enough to go to a hair store and buy It I You can't get off any of your dead eircua stock on me I Camel hair indeed I" and she flounced off before tbe dated clerk coold recover bia wlta and explain. flawftstry JTev.

I wa only fourteen years old, but waa a lot older In my own way of thinking, and stood right on my dignity the first day I was there. It only took me about half an hour te learn tbe business, anyway. I learned tbe candy, sugar, apple, orange and raisin business In less time than that, for I knew all about It before I got iny hat off. After I bad been there about twenty minutes, and was pretty well through with a bottle of gum drops, the boss askrd ree if I bad ever been In a grocery store before. I was too fall for reply at least my mouth wat but as soon as I got my mouth nearly empty I said : "Often ; been In bigger one than this, too." "Well," he said, "you seen to take hold of some parts of It pretty quick." "Oh, yes I can learn anything quick that I set my mind to." "See," said he, "if you can learn to dust off those lamp chimneys, wash off those ! shelves, bring up some potatoes out of the t cellar and leave off eatlog candy." I f I I .J . UI- V . ...

She asked the price of our best flour. I referred ber to the boss. "Flour baa raised," he aaid. "and we couldn't let you baye a barrel for less than seven dollars." "Oh, I can get It for six dollars and fifty cents," she said. "In your misty mind." says I. "Hold your tongue, boy !" says the boss. 'My advice to von. missus," ld I, "is If you can gt as good flour aa we have for six dollars and a half, you're a tangled up mon key If you don't go and get it, if your credit la creditable." "You're an Impudent puppy !" remarked the boss, savagely. "The same to yourself any many of them," says I, meekly With this the lady marched out sedately. "Hold on, old lady," I says ; "don't go off mad. I'll let ou have a barrel at six dollars and seventy five cents, cash I" She kept right on out, without letting on she beard me. I sang out : "Good-bye, while you're handy 1" As soon as she was gone the boss said : "Boy, you won't suit me. You would drive all by customers away with your sauce besides driving me crazy." "Neither one of them woald be a very long drive. If I'm properly acquainted with myself, and I guess I am." "Clear out !" shouted the boss, "before I kill you on the spot" "Which spot do you mean?" said I, at tbe same time langhing heartily In his face. He threw a pound weight at me. I made a nice catch, and said, "out on first base." He looked wild. I threw it back to blm. bnt be muffed It and It went ont through a window.
