Jack Newbiin was by profession a ijiiveyanccr, but nature had intended kirn for a new HouJin, or a wizard of tho North. lie was more than half a , rofe.---ioiial by tho time he was full grown- In addition to tho quick eyo iu-.d the facile wrLt ho had tho rarer ifis of tho titiavo manner and tho faco of brass. He had cveu t-tudied mes merism and clairvoyance, and could upou oc-uiou tiurpriso his yaudience cotiiderably by his power. Tfcr entered tho miserable dwelling Uettr. The children ci,rht of tiieiM were all bkirmishing over tho lloor. cjKS-pt one, a child of eix or seven, a bright-eyed, exceedingly beautiful boy. the least wore not nat ure' voiraries well knowu likely to bo bora belong and belong to such iiirrounOinjs, who stood between tho le" of tli man himself, who had his back to the isitors and was crouching low over lite scantv fire. . . Tho man turned his head for a mo ruiT.t, Hve a bbxck staro, then an Im perceptible nod, and oneo more ho .'lowered down upon the fire- Here, little one; do you too this per;leman? Ho a conjuror. Know h.'tt. a conjuror is. Tommy?" catching t:; a mile of four-ir five from tho :!oor. "No. not you; nor you, Sarah; fTr you, Jakoy11 and be ran through, all their names. ..."- Thr hnd now reaped their cam bols ati'l wero staring Ixard at their i-itors tho monu'nt ivaj jjrojyjlotlfi Jack Nebl;T!?in began. lio had fortunately filled hia pockets with nuts, orange nnd cakes before leaving the parsonage, to ho had half his ap paratus ready in hand. The pretty boy had very eoon loft tho father at tho ire and had come over to join in the lun, going back, however, to exhibit his share of tho -i a.2 ur.J fWeribo voluminously what I IS A TKKSMAH WHOM THI TRUTH EBENSBURG, PA.. had occurred. This nnd the repeated shouts of laughter s-eemed to produce some impression on him. Presently he looked over his t-houlder and said, but without animation: "It is very goodfif "Jou, sir, fiurely; very good for you t"rake m kindly to the littai chicks. It does them good to lautrh a bit, but it, ain't much as they've had to make'otu lately."' It is :ik 1 for ail of us now and aijaiii. 1 take it,' said Jack, deai.-tin? ai..i oin towards him, the childre.n gradually colleetiu ia a far ofl corner and eomjKiring r.oles. "You can't luuli. --ir, if your heart's heavy; if you do it cau bo on!y a aliaia. While he was speaking ho had taken the Iii'ole from Uie shelf, and roum inj,' hia neat began to turn tho leaves over. "I'm an untaught, rough country man, ;r, but 1 have heard tell that the.-e strange things you do are culy trick-; uia't it so?" II. -re was iiul.-cl ahojvful symptom. He va- roused th.-n to take some in terest in what hnd occurred. All tricks, of course; it all comes of practice," -aid Jack, as he proceed ed to explain somo of tho simple proc esses, hoping to enchain the man's at tention. "That's what I thought, sir. or I'd have given you a job to do. I've boon in want of a real conjuror many a long dny. and nothing les-t'll do. Nei here, sir." he said, as lie took a small, care f ully-foidd paper from between the leaves of the lUble, "do you see this?" It was half a Bank of England note for 10. "How, Mr. could any conjuror help me to the other half?" How did you come by it?" asked Jack at once. I'll tell you, sir, short as I can make It. Conjuror or no conjuror, you're got a kindly heart, aud I'm main sure that you'll help if you can." Dan then described how ho had picked up the basket from the 10:45 Liverpool express. "There was tho linen; I've kept It. See here; all marked quite pretty and proper, with lace round the edges, as though its mother loved to mako the littlo one smart." Jack examined tho linen; it boro a monogram aud crest. Tho first ho made out to mean IL L. JU., and the crest was plainly two hammers crosoed, and tho motto: " I striko " not a com mon crest and he never remembered to have seen it heforo. And was that all? " "Cept tho bank note, a poor old pi'.rso with a That was In pawn-ticket and a thimble. I keot thciu :.i; Like a true detectivo Jack examined every article minutely. Tho purse bore the name Heater Gorrigan, in rudo letter inside, aud the pawn-ticket was liiado out in the same name. ' THE SECOND HALF? When Jack Xewbiggin got back to the parsonage he fcur.d that his host had accepted an Invitation for them both to dine at tho " Dig Houso," aa. It was called, the country Beat of tho squire of tho parish. I have been fighting your battles all day." began Mrs. Sitwell, tho host ess, when boated at dinner next to Jack. "Was It necessary? I should ha vo thought raysolf too insignificant." "They w ere talking at lunch of your wonderful tricks in conjuring, and so:no ono said that the skill might prove? inconvenient wheu you played cards, for Instance." "A charitable Imputation; with whom did it originate? " " Sir Lewis MallaSy." " Please point him out to mc" lie wa-- shown a grave, scowling face ujHjn the right of the hostcssa :a-e like a tunsk. tho furfaco rough and wrinkled, throu-jh which tho eyes shone wi'h a baleful light, like corpse candles in a sepukhcr. -y. Jnck let his companion chatter on. It was his habit to get all tho infor mation possible about any company in which ho found himself, for his own purpose as a clairvoyant, and when Mrs. Sitwell flagged ho piled her with artless questions, and lod her on from oue jierson to another, making mental notes to serve him hereafter. It is thus by careful and laborious prepara tions that many of tho strange and seemingly mysterious feats of tho clair voyant conjuror aro perforrned. When the whole party w ere assem bled in the drawing-room after dinner a chorus of voices, headed "by that of the hostess, summoned Jack to hit. work. t There appeared to bo only ono dissentient. Sir Lewis Mallaby, who not only did not trouble himself to Dack up tho Invitation, but when the jK-rformanco was actually begun was at no paina to conceal hia contempt and disgust. The conjuror made tho conventional plum pudding in a hat, fired wedding rings into quartern loaves, did all man ner of card tricks, knife tricks, pistol tricks and juggled "on conscientiously right through his repertory. There was never a smile on Sir Lewis fact; he sneered unmistakably. Finally, with an ostentation that savored of rudeness, ho took out his watch, a great gold repeater, looked at it and unmistakably yawned, Jack hungered for that watch dlrecV ly he oaw iW-avTerhaps through It ho might mane Its owner uncomfortable, if only for a moment. But how to get it into his hands? He asked for a watch a dozen were offered. No one of these would do. It must be a rood watch a repeater. . - - "--.

With something like a growl he toojc bis watch off the chain and handed it to Jack Newbiggin. A curious, old-fashioned watch.

Jack looked it over curious ly, meditatively; then, suddenly rais ing his eyes, he htarcd intently into Sir Lewis Mallaby' s face and almost as quk-kiy dropped them again. "iliis is far too valuable," he said, courteously, "too much of a treasure, to bo ri-ked in any conjuring trick. An ordinary modern watch I might its place, but net a work of art like this." And he handed il back to Sir Lewis, who received it with ill-ooi.coal.-d sat isfaction. He was as much pleased, probably, at Jack's expression of jios aible failure in the proposed trick as at the. recovery of his property. Another watch, however, wasjiourid-r-d into a jelly and brought out who'e from a cabinet ia an adjoining room. "Oh. but it is too preposterous." Sir Lewis Mallaby was heard to say, quite angrily. Tho continued applause pro foundly tlL-g j-ted him. "This is the merest charlatanism. It must lie put an end to. It is the commonest im posture. Thee are things which ho has coached up ia advance. Let him bo tried with something which upon the face of it he can not have learned beforehand by artificial means." "Try him. Sir Lewis, try him your self." cried several voices. "I scarcely liko to lend myself to euch folly or encourage so pitiable an exhibition." But he seemed to bo conscious that further protest would Ihj in Jack's fa vor; ao ho said: "t'an you tell what I have in this pocket?" Ho touched the left breast of his coat. "A pockct-lKKjk." "Bah! Every ono carries a pocket book in his pocket." " But do you?" asked several of the bystanders, all of whom were grow ing deeply interested in this strango duel. Sir Lewis Mallaby confessed that ho did. and produced it an ordinary mo rocco leather purtc and pocket-book, all In one. Are you prepared to go on?" said the Baronet, haughtily, to Jack. Certainly.". " What does this pocket-book con tain?" , Evidence." " Evidence of what?" Of facts that must, sooner or later, come to light." " What ridiculous nonsenso! I give you ray word this pocket-book contains nothing absolutely nothing but a Bank of England note for one hundred pounds.'' " Stay f said Jack Nbwbiggin. facing him abruptly and speaking in a voice of thunder. "It is not bo you know it it is only the half!" And as ho spoke he took tho pocket book from the hand of the mdly stu pefied Baronet and exhibited for in spectionthe half of a Bank of En gland noto for one hundred pounds. Xhera was much applauso at this harmless and successful denouement of what threatened at ono stage to lead to altercation, perhaps to a quarreL But Jack Newbiggin was not 6atisfied- As you have dared me to do my worst," said he. "listen now to what I have to say. Not only did I know that was only tho half of a note, but I know where the othdr half is to be found." - So much tho better for mo," said tho Baronet, with an effort to appear humorous. "That other half was given to shall I amy. Sir Lewi.-.?" Sir Lewis nodded indifferently. "It was given to ono Hester Corrl pan, an old nurse, six years ago." "Silence! Say no more," cried Sir Lewis, in horror. Sir Lewis had been a younger son; the eldest inherited tho family title, but died early, leaving his widow to give him a posthumous heir, tho title remaining in abeyance until time fchowed whether the infant was a boy or a girl. It proved to be a boy, whereupon Lewis Mallaby, who had the first information of tho fact, put into execution n nefarious project which ho had carefully concocted in advanco. A girl was obtained in a foundling hospital and substituted by Lady Maliaby's nurse, who was In Lewis' pay. for the newly-born son and heir. This son and heir was handed over to another accomplice. Hester Corrigan, who was bribed with JC1(k, half down, in tho shape of a half-noto, tha other half to be paid when she announced her safo arrival in Texas with the stolen child. It oc curred to Mrs. Corrigan in her transit between London and Livcriiool that though 100 would bo acceptable on her arrival tho child would bo only an incumbrance. She therefore throw tho basket containing him out of tho window, forgetting that in it she had for safety deposited her purse. It was 1ho watch borrowed from Fir Lewis Mallaby which first aroused Jack's suspicions. It boro tho same crest two luimmers crossed, with the motto: "I strike" which was marked upon tho linen of tho child that Dan Blockitt picked up at Kirk lington station. Tho initial of tho name Mallaby coincided with ths monogram II. L. M. From these facts and what ho had been told by Mrs. Sitwell, Jack rapidly drew his conclusions, and made a bold bhot, which hit tho mark, as we have seen. Lewis Maliaby's confession, com bined with that of Mrs. Corrigan, who was found by tho police, soon re instated tho rightful heir, and Dan Blockitt, in after years, had no reason to regret the generosity which had prompted him to give the little fond ling the (.heller of his rude home.

Uomorou Picture or a Yankee Wife with an Italian Family. It was just sixteen years ago since she had first entered the hill town of St. Francis. She had not entered it alone, but in the company of a hand some bridegroom, Antonio Uuadngni by name, and so happy was she ttn't every thing had seemed to her enchant ing these same steep streets with their ancient dwellings, the same dirt, the shiiio yellowness, ihe came contin uous lei.-ure and causeless beat it in lo. Ami v. hen her Tonio took her through the town and up this second ascent to the squalid little house, where, staring ntid laui'hing and crowding nearer t' look i.t her, she found his J-nni'j as-t-emlilod, innumerable children (they jt'emed innumerable then), a bed-ridden grandam, a disreputable old uncle (who began to compliment hot ), even this did not appear a burden, though of course it was a surprise. For Tonio bad told her. sadly, that ho w ai "all ulone in the world." It had boon one of the reasons why she had wished to marry him that she might make a home for o desolate a man. The home was already made, and it was ..omewliat full. Desolate Tonio explained, with shouts of laughter. In which all the assemblage joined, that seven of tho children were his, the eighth being an orphan nephew left to his care; his wife had died ciht months before, and this was her grand mother on the bed there; this h. r good old undo, a very accomplished man w ho had writton sonnets. Mrs. (Juadagni numlier two had excellent powers of vision, but she w as never able to discover the goodness of this accomplished uncle; it was a quality which, like the beneficence of angels, one is obliged to ttkc on trust She was forty-five, a New England woman, with some small savings, who had come to Italy as companion und attendant to a distant cousin, au iu valid with money. Tho cousin had died suddenly at Terugia, and Pru dence had allowed tho chance of re turning to Led ham with her effects to pass by unnoticed a remarkable lapse of the quality of which hor first namo was the exponent, regarding which her whole life hitherto had been one sharply outlined example. This lapse was due to her having al ready become tho captive of this hand some this irresistible, this wholly un expected Tonio, who was serving as waiter in tho Peruglan inn. Divin ing her savings, and seeing with his own eyes her wonderful strength and energy, this good-natured rcprohato had made lovo to her a littlo in the facile Italian way, and the poor, plain, simple-hearted t-pinstcr, to whom no one had ever spoken a word ot gal lantry in all her lif. before, had 1oen completely t-we.pt olf her balance by tho novelty of it, and by the thronging new sensations which his few English words, hi ppeaking dark eyes, and ardent entreaties roused in hor mai den breast- It was her one moment of madness (who h-s not had one?). Sho married him, marveling a little in wardly when he required her to walk to Ass-isi, but content to walk to China if that should bo his pleasure. When sho reached the squalid house on the height and saw its crowds of occupants, when her own money was demanded to send down to Assisi to purchase tho wedding dinner, then hho understood why they hud walked. But she never understood any thing else. She never permitted herself to understand. Tonio, phin.i nn.l itllo, enjoyed a year of paradisiacal opulenco under her ministrations (and in spite Of somo of them); he was eighteen years younger than sho was; it w ils natural that he should wish to enjoy on a larger scale than hers so he told her. At tho end of twelve months a fever cr.rried him off. anl his widow, who mourned for him with all hor heart, was left to face tito world w ith the eight children, the grandmother, tho good old uncle, and whatever courage she w;is able to muster after counting over and over tho eighty-live dollars that alone remained to her of tho six hundred she had brought him. Of courso she cou Id have pone back to her own country, but that idea never once occurred to her: sho had married Tonio for better or worse; she could not in honor desert the worst now that it had come. It had come in force; ou the very day of tho funeral the had been obliged to work eight hours; on every day that had followed through all theso years tho hours had been on an average fourteen; some times more.

They aro all dressed alike in dark, full skirts and gay bodices. All had long hair and long, thick bangs, trained to Etand out under their tight caps, like little visors to shado their eyes. We began to wonder why they were all girls, when suddenly tho guido seized one, saying: "Do you think this is a boy or a girl?" When sho said "girl" he whisked the child around and pointed to a littlo rod and white crown-piece on tho back of its cap. "No," ho said, "girl caps ire plain. Until tho children aro eight years old you can't tell a boy from a girl, except from tho backs of their heads." By asking tho children their names wo found tho guido was right, and we all wondered what Young America would say if ho were obliged to dress like his sister till he was eight years old.

I Almost I'erUri Deceptive Yiaious of Cities aud laikett. Has the reader ever loen so fortunate or unfortunate as to witness a Dakota mirage an eye-witness, in fact? No, and if you have been enticed far away towards its mystic shores by the alluring and apparently closo prox imity of cool, inviting waters, you will doubtless look back upon that day with a shudder of awful dread. It must be first understood that Dakota is not tho only clime where this strange prairio phenomenon is seen. Its a ppoa ranee is aometimes noted in the States anil in Europe, but very rare, and a Dakota mirage is tho grandest and most mag nificent in tho world. Eastern tourists, new settlors and tho unsophisticated element of this Territory aro the ones who its a rule fall victims to its bane ful influence, and m:ny tales of suffer ing and distress could Ihj related. Of course the older residents are cognizant of this prairie freak of nature, but they too are oftentimes deluded into following it for many days with parched lips ;tiid lolling tongue. Ah, it is a grand but terrible sight kv' The recollection of an autumn wee k last year w ill last till my dying hours, find even now as I write Ihe cold shiv ers course up and down through my veins: the blood s xms to entirely de sert tho body for a painful second and then rushes back into its countless in tricate channel, mounting to tho head and stopping there as if clamoring for egress into tho outsido world. It was one of those calm, sunshiny days, and I was numbered in company with a quartet ol sport-loving young fellows eager to scour tho grand, tH-undless prairies in search of tho toothsome duck or hen, antelope, or ierhaps a stray buffalo, which aro now very scarce. Tho antelope, however, still plentifully abounds, and the local markets in winter are overstocked with its palatable carcass. Wo started out without taking the precaution of preparing for any emergencies what ever, as we placed explicit confidence in our ability as good siMn tsi'icn to sup ply the needs of the. body. We sorely regretted not doing so the next day. That whole day we waudored aimless ly about over tho eiidles, prairies, ami not so much as an in-dgnilieant erophcr made its nptienrancr- to fall before our shot-guns. Tho cravings of hunger and thirst now began to assert themselves, and in our fren.ied wanderings the truth dawned upon us lli.-t wo were lost. Lost! Iist, indeed, upon a scorching prairie that seemed to have no outlet, no trees, no water, no green grass, and not a fowl or animal in sight. Tho situation was horrible to contemplate. Our faithful horses' tongues were lolling from their mouths, and wo wore so weak from hunger that it was with grout difficulty we remained in the saddles. Two days without water is harder on a human being than going without food for a week, and we saw starvHtion and death gauntly staring us in the face. How we managed to drag through Jhe hours of that awful night I can never relate, but wo awoke next morning hoping to find the grass ladctied with the welcome dew. But no. The blades were dry ns ever, and a groan of abject distress issued from our parched throats. It was well onto noon before we con sidered ourselves sufficiently rested to resume the hunt for a sign of civiliza tion. Tho sun's burning rays seemed to be hotter and more relentless than ever. We soon stopped, as wo were too fatigued to proceed amy farther. Simultaneously it dawned upon us all that this was to Ik; our last tiny ujion earth, and, with a brotherly shake of tho hand, we lay prorio upon tho ground awaiting tho now welcome coming of death. Harry Hale suddenly sprung upon his feet, grnbled his shot-gun, placed the muzzle to his brain, and would have pulled the trigger and ended his earthly troubles but for my timely in terference. There was a wild. 'th-mo-ni.ical glow in his eye, and I saw at once that his reason was quickly flee ing. My feeble strength was nothing compared with his almost superhuman lovcr, and in a twinkle he wrested the gun from my bands. II,, then rushed .o one of !hi horses and shot it dead. Hardly had the animal fa ten before Hale, v.iih childish g'..,, pouncixl upon tho prostrate- 1o.iy, blushed its throat with his hunting kaile. and applied his mouth to tho hot, gii-hing Hood, drinking it down w ith a gluttonous appetite. Hale had accomplished a deed which wo also contemplated doing, but it was left as a last l esoi t, for we knew that if de prived of one of our horses we would be left in a more sorry plight than ever.

I iK'liove to this day that noth ing has ever tasted bettor in my life. Our existence was prolongct: now for at least a sdiort period, ami our lips movVil in grr.teful prf.ycr A wiliL nianiao:U shout from Hale at tracted my attention. Great heaven-! The madman was mounted on one of. the horses and tearing away. He wa glancing back and pelt. ting ahead and screaming at the top of his lungs "Water! Water!" One of us must be left behind. Ono horse was dead and three crons could not ride upon, the two animals, who were now ver weak. I looked in the direction ol Hah', nnd. sure enough, whaluppivircd to be whter was s.m-11 in the distance. I ha-tened to acqur-Jat my companions of the joyful discovery. Hale kepi galloping madly on, looking neither way, but furiously lashing his hor-e A steep precipice loomed iicforo the rider, but he heeded it nut noil spurred his exhausted animal to still greater speed. The pi-or horse ntte.mpted to swerve frtot: its course and ovoid tho yawning chasm, but Halo noticed nothing but tho fascinating dance of water on the horizon. They were now but a few rods from the precipice. Still the horse was spurred on. He neighed piteously. plunged forward, and just at its brink htopjed stock-still and the rider flew over his head into the bot tomless pit. To say that wc wero horrified would lie putting It rather mild. Wc hastoned to the scene of the catastrophe The horse sto'ul on the edge, trembling in terror from head to foot. I carefully approached the brink and peered into tho black pit. Noth ing could be discerned; all was pitchy darkness. I seized a large rock and hurled it to the bottom. Presently I hoard a faint sound deep, deep, down into tho very bowels of tho earth. Poor Halo's; death enmo very easy, though terribly unexjiected, and no human K'ing could make that descent w ithout death ensuing half-way down. With heavy hearts we oneo morn saddled our tired horses and followed the ulluring hike. An hour passed, but it seemed as if we were just its far away as on the start. Another hour, another and another, find still th waters kept dancing and glL-tenliag in tho sunlight no apparently short dis tance ahead. We continued tho tedious trip, and happening to look up wo dis covered to our dismay that tho sup posed lake had entirely vanished. J!ut a more welcome sight greeted us. Not many miles to the east the city from which we started loomed up. Ah, something st range about this. We could sc"! tho streets, familiar build ings, and even recognize men walking up and down literally photographed lie fore our startled vision. Wc traveled and traveled, but it was Impossible to tipproach tho town. Then, as if by magic, tho whole scene disappeared from view. Wo were mystified beyond comprehension and unable to solve the problem. Tho tired, - faithful steed refused to budge an inch and lay down, Hnd wo rolled off and sank by their bides exhausted. Tho pangs of hunger knew TiotiouBtls." so I resolved to slay another horse. I got up and 1o my horror tho Hnimals had ut rayed away, probably in search of fodder. My companions groaned feebly, but we were all too weal; ; follow them. Death's nwful presence Wiisnow idmost felt, nnd with a p-:';.er upon our lips we reeled to tluj ground and hoped that tho grim destroy oi would soon come and relieve us. W.-ll, ho diil not come, or I would never have written this sketch. While in n comatose condition I was shaken gently and friendly hauda applied ctKiling llak to mv heated lipa. Till-; same oMiee was iilso administered to my sufle'i-iiig companions. Our good samarium, who proved to bo r fanner, took in in his wagon and bundled us olf to his house, where wo v. ere closely confined for two long wee!;?. As I writ i I can not help thinking of poor Hale's mangled remains re posing in the depths of that awful' abyss. I afterward learned that our course when lost ou the prairie was one continued circle.
