Had I been my own mistress I should never have s:Tved Marie Rosis. But pov erty, the need of food and raiment, the hungry mouths that must Lu filled, were too strong for me, and I ent.!azcd myself to her. "You are poor, L , :uise," she said, with a slight French accent. "Money is of no account to me—l only ask you to be faith ful. I said that I should travel, so you must supply your brother's and sister's wants before we gc , . I shall be liberal with you. Take this." As sli( spoke, she reafdied out six 'or eight hali'ea,4l(s. I drew back my hand "ls it, too much," I said. "Allow me to be the judge of that. I know what will be required of you." A little chill ran over we. What would be required of me ? I looked up. to see, if pcssible, what meaning lay hidden be neath her wordß. "I bhal travel as fancy pleaFes," he continued. "One spot is as pleasant to me as an other. I go in search of something which I have lost. It may be here, it may be there. I have nothing to guide me in my search. It is all blind chance." At first I was not happy iu my migra tory Ho. I used to long for home—or what had been home—and for the caresses of those I loved. But this did not last long. Marie ltosis soon grew to be the world to me. and I her bond slave. Sometimes we rested for two or three weeks from our travels. and then went for ward, day after day and week after week, without stopping. I do not know how long I had been with her, whe.,n I discov ered that we were not traveling alone— that we had a follower, who pursued us from place to place with unwavering per sistence. He did not seem to be conscious of us. He never addressed us—he only followed us like a shadow. • It was after the stranger came that I learned what madame was searching for. A ring that had mysteriously disappeared from her finger one night while she was sleeping. A strange ring with a garnet heart for its centre, all that she had left of Monsieur ltosis. I glanced at her in surprise. "Was it your wedding ring ?" "Better than that—Monsieur Itosis gave it to me while he was dying. He came back to life to give it to me—just as we turn back when we have forgotten something." "He gave it to ine and said that a curse would follow me if I lost it. I did not lose it—it went away from me, but I am not happy, Monsieur ltosis was very hard." "But you are nut to blame fur what you could not help." "Ah ! but if a lover took it ?" she said, shaking her head slowly. "I had fallen asleep in the drawing room—the day was warm. When I awoke Monsieur's heart was gone, and the air full of shadows. I have been searching ever since for it." She began pacing up and down the room. We were stopping for a week at a hotel in a large inland town. This con versation had been carried on in the par lor, a long, wide room, looking westward. As madame walked, I thought I had never seen her half so beautiful. While she went to and fro restlessly, the stranger emu" noiselessly in and walked beside her. She did not notice him but looked straight ont of the window to the green trees and be yond them to the wide sunset. For myself I grew angry and heated at the stranger's boldness. If he had any thing to say to her why did he not speak ? What right had he to dog her steps so persistently ? At least I would tell mad ame. As I started forward to speak, the strange gentleman raised his hand to his forehead and I saw something on it that glowed blood red in the sunlight. I look ed at it eagerly and saw the shape of a heart outlined on the slender finger. My heart bounded. Here was the lover that had stolen madame's ring. It should be restored to her, and once more she should know happiness. Ah, how frightened I got, though ! While my lips were parted F, a to speak and my hand raached forth to touch his arm, he was gone, and I t-tood quite alone with Madame Rosis. "•Wlhat makes you so white," Ehc asked, stopping short in her walk.. "Why, lie Las gone!" "Who has gone ?" "The gentleman who walked beside you." "Indeed, who so honercd me ?" she said increduously, "I was busy with nty thoughts." _ _ "A. strange gentlemzni walked widi you —near you—and as I started toward Lim he disappeared!' • Madame laughed a low niu , ,ical laugh, but I saw that the white hand that clasped er scarlet mantle over her heart was shak ing. Her lips grew white and dry. "I hope he was handsome." "Very, v, ith a mouth like a girl's." Her forehead grew puckered into scowls. "And what else ?" "He wore a ring with a blood-n;(1 heart !" I pray that I may never on earth see a face so tearful as was Madame's at that moment. I put up a quick prayer, fir I thought she was about to kill me. She clutched both bands about my arm atid held me closely to her. "How dare you, girl :" "I could not help seeing him," I said. "There he is now outside looking in at the window." She cowered down at my feet and cov ered her eyes with my mantle. I do not know how long I stood there, or how long she knelt without moving. I know the figure stood motionless at the window, look ing at us with steady, unwavering cycs. Would he never go? Would he hold us forever with that quiet, unflinching gaze? At that moment I shrieked, and madame sprang to her feet. A. crowd came to sec us, and I fell back fainting. Iu the morning we started. It was Summer time, and our way led through the richest of earth's garden , . Ali was beautiful from the sky downward—birds, flowers, fruits, and velvety greensward.— In spice of everything I was happy. We will soon have a long resc," said madame, as we were whirled ak.ng. "You shall bear from the brother and sister at home." I was looking out of the ;1i idow a; she slioke. As I turned my face toward hcr, P,felt some one touch my shoulder. I turned quickly. The stranger was sittiug near us in the train. liis presence Eeemed so real to me that lepoke out angrily : "If you please, sit—" ' Madame looked around. I"To whom arc you speaking, Louise ?" I knew, then, that whatever I saw, whether man or evil one, Madame' Rosis was conscious of nothing. I looked over the face—at the blue eyes and gentle mouth, down at the white hands and red ring with• °Eft a word. 'Monsieur Rosis," I thought. "But 4y decs he follow madame ?" IVe rode the day through with the fair, immovable fii,nre beside in and the doctor is the upxt carriage. The one seemed to counteract the i7..titte.nce of the other.— Nothing could harm me. At night we came to our resting place. "Here we shall find the ring !" said madame, as we hurried out of the train "It is like an inspiration. I feel it through and through." We did not go to a hotel, hut to a house near the outskirts of the town. I know the coachman of the fly stared at madame when she told him where to drive us. The night was very dark. Lo skint round EAr my friend, I could not see him, and I thought I was lost. Warm as was the night, the place to which we went was chilly. Madame bad tires wade iu the grates and ordered wine to be brought. "Where arc we ?" I asked. "Pardon me for not saying. This is my home. No one dare intrude here." No one ? Was madame so sure ? As she spoke the pleasant faced stranger, ghost or man, came noiselessly in, and sat down by the fire. He wore the same expression as when I had first seen him. Glancing at his hand, I saw the blood red ring grow ing upon his finger. "You do not drink;" madame said, as I sat holding the wine glass. "What is it ?" I 'Put down the glass with a shudder. "Madame Rosh, I want to go home." "This is your home. By day it is beau tiful. To-night I know there are shadows —and it is cold. We can have more fire." "That is not it—l want my sister. I seem to be stifling here." "Well, well—l will play to you. I will sing." She threw open the piano. Good heavens, what a wail came from it as her delicate fingers ran up and down the keys. Wild unrest, a g ony, despair, found voice in the melody which she awakened. Then her little hands pattered softly down, and her voice broke out softly to the weird accom paniment. Through it all I could hear the falling of ghostly feet; the whispers from shadowy lips. The stranger listened at her side; so close was his face to hers, that in an unsteady light they seemed to mingle and waver together. . Where was I ? The atmosphere was like that of a tomb ! Was I among flesh and-blood realities, or had I been drawn into the charnel house to expiate some sin which I had committed ! Sin, indeed ! what did I know about sin ? "Don't madame—don't !" I cried ! "You are driving me mad I Let me go—in the name of mercy, let me go !' "Yuu need rest," spoke the madame.— "You are nervous. You shall ga to your room and have supper there." She led me like a child. What could I do? Up stairs it was more cheerful. The fire was fresh and the lamps gave out a clear, steady light. I drew a sigh of relief. "You like it ?" said madame. "Ilow can I help it ?" "I am glad. My room is oppasite. In the night if you are awakened you can come to me. But I think you will sleep. I will send your supper to you in a mo ment." I did not wait for supper. Thoroughly exhausted, bidily and mentally, I sank upon the bed. I did not know how long I slept. I started up suddenly from my pillow, a fearful shriek entering through my brain. It was madame's voice that aroused. In a moment there was a sound of hurried feet in the lull, a murmur of strange voices, and some one threw open the door opposite mine. I stole softly out, and crossed the hall to madame's room.— There was a group of strange people stand ing by her bedside. A voice said, "She is dead " "What is it—what killed her ?" I asked. "I do not know. Probably her heart was diseased. Some sudden fright did it. The detectives have been oa her track fur weeks." "The detectives ?

Since that I have read two articles in te Muni:or by "Veritas" censuring "Civis" for thus ex posing the bad conduct cf those young men and women, quoting scripture to prove that it was contrary to the teachings of the 11;ble. Now as there s„letns to be two sides to this question, I ask the liberty, through your excellent paper, to give my opinion in as few words as possible. I was on the train on the night referred to, and must say that "Civis," i 1 describing the belytv ic,ur of those young men and women, did not over r.lte it, indeed I might say "the half was never told." I have traveled many miles by railroad in the east, and ou the frontiers of the far west, where many of the people are said to be uncivilized, yet never did I witness such conduct on cars or any where else, and God forbid that I should ever witness such conduct again. If a daughter of mine had been on the train I would have wanted the conductor to stop the train and let her off before we reached the first station. We say "Civis" done right in exposing this conduct, and thank him for it, and we do think that the person who would not feel like doing so, is lost to every sense of decency and pro priety, to say nothing about christianity. And we further say, without fear of suc cessful contradiction, that the Bible justi fies us in exposing evil wherever we find it. If it did not we would have no account of Lot's drunkenness and the disgrace he thus brought on himself and some of his family. The sin of David in the Case of ljriah, and many others that we might name. The 13ibic never concealed or cov ered up the had conduct of any, r,nd flume ircoril as an exam ple for us to follow. And when we come down to the new dispensation - we hear Paul s..ty to a much better behaved person than thosa mentioned above, "0 full of all sub fifty and ail mischief, thou child Of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lird ?" In conclusion, I would repeat that I think "Civis" done right in exposing this shatueful conduct, and no one has a right to judge his motives—as "Veritas" done. I have ever been friendly to the Methodist church, have enjoyed sweet communion. with them at campineeting and in their churches at home. I have not a word to say against them or their campmeetings, but merely feel like reproving sin where ever I find it. I have a good mother up in Heaven who taught me when a little boy to be orderly at religious meetings, and ou my way to and from the same, and although more than sixty winters have silvered my brow I have never forgotten that early training, and during all this time have been active in trying to keep order at, to, and from religious worship, and if I would fail to do so now, i would not be true to that dear mother whom I expect shortly to meet in that land "where the wicked c !me from troubling and the weary are at rest," and what would be still worse, I would not be true to my God. Anxiety, Anxiety does no good. It never paid a debt, or healed a malady, or prevented an accident. "Surely they are disquieted iu vain." Our Lord put this impressively in His sermon on the mount : "Which of you, by taking thought, can add one cubit unto his stature ? The conduct of David on a certain memorable occasion was ad mirable in this respect. When his favor ite son was ill he fasted and lay all night upon the earth. No doubt that fasting was accompanied by earnest prayer to the Great Disposer of events. But when the babe had died he arose, washed himself and changed his garments, commanded meat to be set before him, and went into the house of the Lord. Mark his words : "Wherefore should I fast ? Can I bring back again !" Let us remember those words when we are tempted to repine over the inevitable. "Be careful for nothing," your anxiety is profitless. Nor is that all. There is a negative side to the evil. Anxiety does much harm. We talk about fretting, but what does the word mean ? Ori2inally it meantto fray, to wear out. Our forefathers spoke of a garment which had become threadbare and full of holes as fretted. And be sure of it, to fret and worry about things is to wear out the mind. People speak sometimes of men being worked to death. Be skeptical about that, such suicides are extremely rare. It is not work, but worry that kills. Activity injures none, anxiety hurts thous aude. Nothing incapacitates us for duty more than care ; it saps our energies and undermines our strength. Sir Walter Scott was a prodigious worker and his in dustry never harmed him, but when the great calamity came by which he lost his property and was involved in fearful pe cuniary liabilities, his anxiety brought on paraly-is, and premature death followed. AT this period of the year, a voice steals at early morn through the key-hole of the domestic chamber : "Mary Jane, get up and fix the fire ;" and a prompt and cheer ful echo responds, "I'll see you dodretted first, and then I wont, you old brute." Such are the celestial harmonies of domes tic life. - Now is a good time to buy thermom eters. They are lower now than they have been since last' spring. A bny not over eleven years old, whose pinched face betrayed hanger, and whose cuthing could hardly be called by the name, dropped into a carpenter shop on Grand River avenue the other day, and after much hesitation explained to the fore man— "We want to get a graveboard for ma. She died last winter, and the graves are so thick that we can hardly find hers no more. We went up last Sunday, and we came awful near not finding it. We thought we'd get a graveboard, so we wouldn't lose the grave. When we thought wt'd lost it, ack he cried and Bud she cried, and my chin trembled FO I could hardly talk." "iirher , _ , is your Zither ?" asked the car. peuter. _ . . . Oh, he's home, but be never goes up there with uq, and we shan't tell him about the board. I guess he hated ma, ffir he wasn't home when she died, and he wouldn't buy no coffin nor nothin.' Some times when we are sittin' on the doorsteps talking about her, and Jack and Bud are cryin', and I am rememberin' how she kissed us all afore she died, he says we'd better quit that or we'll get what's bad for us. But we sleep up stairs, and we talk and cry in the dark all we want to. flow much will the board be?" The carpenter selected something fit I:)r the purpose and asked-- "Who will put it up at the grave ?" We'll take it upon our cart," replied the boy, "and I guess the graveyard man will help us put it up." "You want the name painted on, don't you ?" "Yes, sir, we want the board white, and then we want you to paint on that she was our ma, and that stie was forty one years old, and that she died on the second of of November, and that she's gone to heav en, and that she was one of the best moth ers ever was, and that we are going to be good all our lives and go up where she is when we die. How much will it cost, sir ?" "How much have you got !" "Well," said the boy, as he brought out a little calico bag, and emptied its contents on the bench, "Bud drawed the baby for the woman next door and earned twenty cents; Jack he weeded in the garden and earned forty cents, and he found five more in the road ; I run errands and make kites and fixed a boy's cart and helped carry some apples into a store, and I earned sixty-five cents. All that makes a hundred and thirty cents, sir, and pa, don't know we've got it, 'cause we kept it hid in the ground under a stone." The carpenter meant to be liberal, but he said— "A graveboard will cost at least $3." The lad looked up from his little store of metals to the carpenter and back, and realized how many weary weeks bad passed since the first penny was earned andsaved, and suddenly wailed out— " Then we can't never, never buy one, and mother's grave will get lost." But he left iho shop with tears of glad ness in his eyes, and when he returned yesterday, little Bud and Jack were with him, and they had a cart. There was not only a headboard, but one for the foot of the grave as well ; and painter and car penter had done their work with full hearts, and done it well. "Ain't it awful nice ?—nicer than rich folks have," whispered the children, as the boards were being placed on the cart; won't the grave look nice, though, and won't ma be awful glad ?" Ere this the mother's grave has -been marked, and when night comes the three motherless ones will cuddle close together and whisper their gratitude that it cannot be lost to them even to the storms and drifts of winter. There is a touch of pathos about doing even the simplest thing 'for the last time.' It is not alone kissing the dead that gives us this strange pain. You feel it when you have looked your last time upon some scene you have loved—when you stand in some quiet city street where you know that you will never stand again. The ac tor playing his part for the last time ; the singer, whose voice is cracked hopelessly, and who after this once will never stand before the sea of upturned faces, disputing the plaudits with the fresher voices and fairer forms; the minister who has preach ed his last sermon—these all know the hidden bitterness of the two words, "nev er again." How they come to us on our birthdays as we grow older. Never again young—always nearer and nearer to the very last, the end which his universal, "the last thing which shall follow all last things, and turn them, let us hope, from pains to joys." We put away our boyish toys with an odd heartache; we are too old to walk any longer on our stilts, too tall to play marbles on the sidewalks. Yet there was a pang wl en we thought we 1 a I played with our merry thoughts for the last time and lif'e's serious grown up work was waiting for us. Now we do not want the lost toys back ; life has other and larg er playthings for us. May it not be these, too, shall tieem in the light of some far-off days as the boyish games seem to our manhood, and we shall learn that death is but the opening of the gate into the new land of promise ? SPECTATOR. Few of the persons who handle Bank of England notes ever think of the amount of labor and ingenuity that is expended on their production. According to official report these uotts are made from pure linen cutting?, never from rags that have been worn. They have been manufactured for nearly 200 years by the same family, the Portals, Protestant refugees. So care fully is the paper prepared that even the number of dips into the pulp made by each workman is registered on a dial by machinery, and the sheets are carefully counted and booked to each person through whose hands they pass. The printing is done by a mcst curious process in Mr. Coe's department within the bank build ing. There is an elaborate arrangement for securing that no note shall be exactly like any other in existence. Consequently there never was a duplicate of a Bank of England note, except by forgery. The stock of paid notes of seven years is about 91,000,000 in number, and they fill 18,- 000 boxes, which if placed side by side, would reach three miles. The notes placed in a pile, would be eight miles high ; or, if joined end to end, would form a ribbon 15,000 miles long; their superficial ex tent is more than that of Hyde Park ; their original value was over $15,000,- 000,000, and their weight over 112 tons.

Easton is an example of a town that suffered a corporation to build its water works and supply it with water. The ex actions, impositions and insolence of the managers of that company have become so unbearable as to force the people there to starve for water or to build works by order of the borough. Edwin F. Smith, esti., chief engineer of the P. and R. canal, has written a letter to President Gowen, of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad company, relative to the recent drawing off of the supply dams of the Schuylkill canal.
