But Georgte did not oeK.ng to the fac tory element, although she had married into it. She bad been brought up by a relative, upon whom she had been left de pendent, and whom she called Aunt Ap pletun. Aunt Appleton lived at the other end of Millvdle—the west cad—among the Halt bnrton, the Dilloways. and the Verse*. Perhaps, under the circumstances. Georgv might have looked a little btgbc than John Randall. But then John was as good as gold—strong, steady, manly, tnw.

John's face flu-bed a little; a Lot retort pricked the vcrr tip of bis tonyue, but be did not utter it. He was a Tery patient man, naturally ; and then be had that deep, pure love lor bis pretty wife which overt cartes all slight shocks: "1 have exceeded my sslaxv every Strata * ; r.oe me were married, George," be said. ** The first of January will be here in a few weeks, and I shall not be able to meet all my bills that are due.

John Randall's brain was fine enough to understand tbat this was not tbc acquit e etnee he wanted. He would like to in dulge her, but there was the fact that, if he begun it, be should be always behind band, always poor. This was hi* fact. Georgy bad hers, alo —that she was always lo be denied and disappointed.

She was one of those women who nay too little rather than to much. John went oil'to bis work. Bridget,the girl-of-all-work, came in to clear the table, fieorgy dusted the parlor, and made the pudding, fed tbe canary, and then placed the sewing machine in the window, facing the dull, leaden light of tbe November day, and sat down to stitch wristbands. She find been married more than a year, and wa< making her first abirt for John. She was very thoughtlul,—a dogged pain on her (ace all tbe while. " Perhaps I shall stay to Aunt Apple ton's to tea," sbe saia to her husband at the oinner table. "Ifl do you will come lor me, won't you?" He reflected a moment. •' I told you last night, Georgy, that I bould Lave to be from home an hour or two this evening. There is to be a aneet ing of the officials of the m<ll at half-past seven.

The subdued, well-bred manner*, the faint Serfutm-a, the refiued iaevs, and the rich rvssea, were like a stimulant to her. She needed auch quickeaing to be fully j htTself.

It must be quite difficult to make tbem. I dare say they bring a good price." Under her serene smile a quick thonght weut through Georgy Randalla's mb d. She began to ex-ituine the gentleuian be fore ber with interest. Stephen (lalibarton was a gentleman by habit, and a in an of the world by a force of circumstances. But nature intended him for a diligent, painstaking, perier vcring wan of business. If he was not a great or a very good man, it was becau-e he had somnch time, so much money, so much flattery, lie was spoiled by his opportunities, yet he needed only the right influence to ek-vatc him beyond himself. He was thirty years old now—he was past the age when a man disdains to be led by a woman. But Stephen llaliburton bad never disdained it. lie hsd always been led by the keen eyed. bemk-nose woman in steel silk, who, as Georgy talked with the heir, sat hold ir.g her wine-cap up to the firelight not far off. lbs heir seemed to like Mrs. Randall's talk ; perhaps because there was so little of it. In return he was ratber unreeerved —gossiping about bis plans and bia pros pects. Ite said that he was glad to get home. lie meant to settle down at Mdi vide now; look after his factories and the operatives, ami introduce some improv ments He wanted a better class of work —more tasteful designs; he hadn't seen a pretty print from the factory. Didn't Mrs. Randall agree with him?" Yes; she agreed with him. It was a strange basis for parlor gossip oils, chemicals, designs for calicoes. He was surprised to find how much she knew about it; and she—she was a little snr- Erised herself. The most delicate pink egnn to flush her checks, the irises of her eyes grew into great black flakes, full of luster. All at once, at last, she turned a casual glance without the window. " Why," she said, with a slight start, "it is almost dark. And I believe it is raining. 1 mnst go at once." She stepped towards the window. Great plashing drops were falling upon the flagstones. The dull November daylight was almost gone. Mr. Haliburton rose also. "Did you walk?" Le inquired. 41 Let us take you borne. My mother will be going soon." The little stir attracted Mrs. Appleton, who—most of the guests hying gone— was devoting herself to Mrs. Haliburton. 44 Stay to tea, Georgy," she suggested. 44 John knows you ore here-doesbe not!" 44 Yes; but it is raining. I think I bad better not stop." " 1 have been asking Mrs. Randall to tr.ke a seat with us, mother," interposed S epben Haliburton. "Ah, ye*!" said the lady, with con tracted nostrils and prolonged lip again. '• I shall lie bappy." * And then the keen eye overlooked Georgy, as if to ask if there were any just r: use why the Haliburton carriage, the iiaJibnrton horses, and it might be thi ll nlibnrton heir, should traverse the length of Millville te take home this young p rson, who had married oao of the Hali burton employees. Georgy stood unmoved, a little con cerned as to whether her last dress and bonnet shonld walk or ride, not at all concerned as to lier own disposal. The factory bell had done ringing, and John Randall was in sight of home just as the carriage of his employer stopped at tie door, and hia wife stepped from it. He did not, however, overhear her say to Stephen Haliburton, 44 If you call to-mor row afternoon, I will show yon what I mean." 44 Had you a pleasant afternoon ?" her husband asked, by-and-by, as they sat, at the tea table. "Very pleasant," she said, thougbt fally. "It was very polite in Mrs. Haltbarton to bring yon home." " Yes, I shonld have spoiled my dress." It was always with a little effort that John Randall could get his wife to talk, and she seemed peculiarly silent to-night, and absent as well as silent. Her eyes were brighter, too, than ootn mon—her face a little flashed. lie was too generous, too unselfish a man to be grudge her even a happiness in which he had no part; but something in her abstraction filled him with uneasiness. The nncasiness was not decreased when, reaching home 'a little before the usual hour the following afternoon, he met Stephen Haliburton justleaving the house, nor when he found Georgy with the same brightened eyes and Lightened color as tbe night before. That was the beginning of John Ran dall's trouble. It waa not ao much common jealousy— a man'* inatiuet of revolt at another man's admiration of bia harid-oine wife—as it was a fear—a desperate, deathlike fear that Georgy needed something bo could THE CENTRE REPORTER. not give to make her happy. He could uever give her an* luxuries, lie could never aay auch thing* a* ha fancied Stephen ilalibtirton uiii.t be able to aay to woman. But he loved her *u 1 O heavens! he loved her aol How could he endure that any thing should eotue between them t " 1 won't wrong her and tease her with suspicion*," he said to himself, iu the depth of the night. " I'll just fight iny way the best 1 can against it. I'll keep ou steady. Perhaps she'll aee it right by and by." Poor tellaw ! he did not realise how his own determination implied the dreary thought that her heart was turned from him. He raised Limselt ou hi* arm* t look on her a* she slrpt; aud all through <vh:.t followed he retaiued the pure, calui face, as it pre*-ed the pillow, w hitnied bv the uiooulight that glinted the frost ou the window-pane* and flooded the rooiu. bhe Seemed colder to htm after this,and he kept silent. He kuewr that ahe met lialiburtou a her aunt's; he knew that when she went to the seaside the ensuing summer, lor a week's visit to Mrs. Paul Apploton, tlo-rv he was also. He knew that ah. seemed to be living a life apart from him; and once—thai wa* when the iron entered hi* soul, when he went into her little desk, a present he had made her during their en gagement— for a sheet of uole pajwr, ard found it KM*!- Ed and asked her carelessly enough for the key, she flushed and (aid she would gel the paper for him. But he kept true to the promise he made himself. lie kept ou ''fighting hi* way against it a* best he could,,' hoping, with a sick heart, that she "might see it right by-and-by." The month* wore away. The second year of their marriage wa* nearly corn ph ted. John had beea very careful —as careful as t.owigy herself—that there should be noontward or visible sign of mi*- understanding or coldness between theiu. No suspicion had cotne to any that the second year of their married life had Imen leas happy titan the first Nor had he ever oinifed to give her any little iudug genee within hi* pow,r. lie had prepared a surpri-e for her on the coming auuiver sary of their wedding during the year. The anniversary fell upon Sunday; and so their little commemoration of the day must coiue the precediug eveuirg. No allusion had been made to any celebration by either ot them; but John felt sure, some way, that ahe could not let the time pae without some sign. Fur 1;U own part, he had half resolved to attempt some explanation of their estrangement. Anything, he thought, would be better than this chilling reserve. With hi* tuind divided bet seen the anticipation of relief an J jealous dread, he went to the count ing house that Saturday night to receive his money. The Cashier looked up with a certain embarraaam* nt at the approach. "Ah, Mr. Randall—the accumulation yon have left io ray hands? To be sura! And, by the way, Mr. llaliburton spoke to me to mention to yon that there w ere to be some change* made, aud—and —but there he i* hlrn-elf, air." John Randall turned, with a feeling akin to desperation, to meet his employer. It ha>l gone through him like a thunder bolt, as the cashier spoke, that he was to be displaced. Stephen llsliunrton simply said, a* John faced him. I'll not detain you now, Mr. Randal 1 . I shall call this evening to let you know of the changes I feel obliged to make." And the owner bowed, and left him. With the m >ney in his nervless hands, John Randall walled homeward like a man dared. He was to lose his piace. Far what reaou he could not conjecture. But to loae it was to lose reputation, courage—everything. He had never im agined such a possibility as that The money that ho carried —be should not dare t<> make a present of it to Georgy now. He might have to wait for other employment. It might be needed for their bare every day bread, before he got work again. A chill like death struck to his son I. Georgy, evidently, had not overlooked the re occurence of their wedding day. The cosy rooms of the cottage all wore a little air of festivity. Some slender vases held the gleanings of the flower-beds; chrysanthemums—blood-red, white and purple—verbenas, and scarlet grranioms. She carnc to the door that night to meet him—one of her •• company" dresses on. some knots of velvet tautening her collar, and seeming to give a glow and brightness to her white skin. He took ber baud ; she rais.d bcr face, and with a wild heart-bound he kissed it, as he had not for years before. She was coming back to biui again 1 That was the thought that thrilled him. Her infatuation—lf such it bad been—was at an end; upon his new happiness, came the dreary recollection of his lost situation. He thrust the money in his pocket. By-and by be would tell bcr all. "Yon won't mind waiting supper for an hoar, will you. John?" she asked, as she led him in. " I am going to give ton something nice, by-tnd-by, and—l think Mr. Haliburton will be in." John Randall's bloed froze once more. It was not for him, then, that all these preparations were made. (Jeorgy bad never spoken Mr. Ilalibarton's name to hirn before. He could feel that she was embarrassed as she did so. "I wautyon to dress, John," she added, coaxintily. 44 1 have laid everything out for you." It seemed to him that he would have turned upon her, but that he felt sobrok en by the thought of losing his place, and resented her gsyety, her indifference, her secrecies—all that hail made him so mis erable through this long year. But be bad not the spirit. lie went to dress as she had asked him. When he returned to the parlor Stephen Haliburton and his wife sat npon the sofa side by him. It was rare indeed to see Georgy's fair face so tllnminated. Her cheeks were glowing, her eyes were spark ling. As for Mr. Halibnrton he was always the qniet gentleman, with no sense of being ont of his place, no apparent suspicion of what was rankling in the heart ol tils em ployee. What a nice little supper Georgy had ready. Yet nobody ate. Finally the supper was over, snd they went back to the jwrlor. Georgy disappeared for a moment, and, returning, approached ber husband* glanc ing shyly at the same time to her guest, whose face brightened beyond it* wont as be caught her eye. 44 We meant to make it all very forma.l John; hot I see Mr. Haliburton think* I might as well trll it at once in my own way." She |it used and a sober pallor overspread her husband's (ace. •' What was coming ?" his eyes asked, with no faiib that it wai anything to lighten bis secret burden.

The Origin of Camp-Meetlngis Tie origin of camp meeting ta thus stated by a writer in the New Yrk A'rvit "</ Pit: Though not attended with any idea such a* originated the modern camp meeting, the out-door and secret gather ings <>f the Huguenots in France and ol the Dissenter* in England probably gave the first rise to all subsequent movement* of this nature. In America their begin uing i# said to have been occasioned by a want of church building*. Two brother* named Msgre, one of them a Presbyterian preacher, and the other a Methodist, who created during the smnmer of 17V0, a great religious excitement In that part of Kentucky in which they lived, are said to b>< the founders of camp meeting* in lhi country. Their congregation* soon be came fr too large for the limited church accommodation at that time provided, and a uitiou out-of-door meeting was dtcidcd upon. To thia tho people flocked Iroro all part* of the Tbe success of tbe meeting was great, and nt once apparent. The number of convert* was something that approached the in irvelou*. It we determined to renew the experiment the next year. From all part* of the State, as well as from bordering territory, im mense number* of people gathered. He port.* nay that there were assembled a* many a 20,000 persona, which waa a wonderful number for that time. Since then the movvm> nt haa continued to go on, though until within the last six or eight year* it was thought that camp meeting* were growing out of date. With in that period a new momentum ha* been given to them. It i* the purpose of the Methodist Episcopal Church to give to (hi* tnovei *ent a dignified, systematic ami permanent position in the religious com tnunicy. To thnt e- d association* are formed, ground* purchased in the name ot corporate bodies, cottage* built (which are slowly taking the place of tent*), ami a crop* of regular and distinguish* d di vine* are provided to superintend the ser vices. Under this untem these meetings have grown in the respect and sympathy of the omnwnnity—so mnch so, imbed, that there is some talk of imitation on the part of the Presbyterian*. The Young Men's Christian Association, in which that de nomination takes an active part, Joins with the Methodist brethren in out door meetings, which, though by no means revival meetings, tend that way. A C'LOCT> BCBOT.—A few weeks ago a rain cloud burst and washed awuv the road In-d of the Honeedale branch of th* Erie IT.ul way for the distance of atout one hundred feet Cloud bursts are of iofrcquent occurrence in the Atlantic States but they are quite common in Nevada and elsewhere in the extreme West, A cloud burßt is not a water spout, though the two urc often con founded in the popular mind A water spout results from a whirlwind which gathers a quantity of water from the fnco of the ocean or some other broad surface, and whirls it upward ami through the air. Cloud bursts occur in the summer during heavy thunder st -rms and arc simply ruin showers of suddea and extraordinary violence. An over laden cloud suddenly condenses.nnd the wuter of which it is eomi>o*ed tall* to the earth in torrents. In a mountainous country like Nevada the results of n cloud-hurst are often terrible. So sud den is the fhod, that sometimes where not n drop of water has Itccn seen for months, a large turbulent torrent all nt once comes pouring down, washing away trees, bouses, roods, rocks anil everything tlint comes in its way. One of these flood* tlins pouring down a steep, dry, mountain canon, frequently shows an advancing, resistless front of logs, bowlders, and brush twelve or fif teen feet high.

PwNgigo W ATfa.—Prinking wine is a habit, so is drinking spirits, ale. cider rotfee and water. The last is thought a necessity; but to dnnk much ia a habit. Some people drink little not because t heirconstitutions require less than others; it ia their habit* Those people never perspire so much aa those who drink more. The more that is dronk, the more water passes away, or the system would suffer. As it is, the strain effects it Ihe skin, the kidneys, bowels lung*, nil are drawn upon. The result is as may be nat rally expected, exhaustion. For this reason, the man who drinks much water, particu larly during the Summer and in the hot test weather, is less able to endure fatigue, the water is of no benefit to him—that is the excess. It must pass nway, and this requires an effort of the svstein, which ia the sweating process. Had he not used the excess of water, he would not have per spired so ; it would not have been there for the system to expel. It i* a habit to drink water mi much; a false thirst ia created. We should drink only what is needed. The habit of drinking mere will soon be over come, and the person will feel much strong er and more capable of bearing fatigue.

Women and Marriage. Every woman with anv romnuco or magnanimity baa, to far as abe content plates marriage for herself merely in the abstract, an ideal, or some vgnc aaartu blage of high qualities which stand for such.

At all errata he must be something quite above the common run of men about her. The typical old maid has had this ideal, and Iwen faithf t! to it; it may be for want of adequate temp tation to iuci ust rocy. Some women— Ute charming women, for example have not been allowed to keep their ideal. Titer have lost melitof it in find ing themaefrea the ideal of some one ele. Our typical rest*! ha* never been a charming woman, though she may have many excellent gifts and grace*.

But to some women tbi* does not happen. The natural instinct to phase is not strong in tliero.
