"I am sorry mat wo came. This is no place for Pearle.' indicating, with a nod of head as she snoko. an exquisitely beautiful girl, scarcely more man a child,orsoitlo twelve or thirteen sum mere, who stood besido them. "Cotno Pearle!" tho father said. But the girl stood entranced, hef cVea fixed upon a man's face sealed nt Iho far thest end of tho tabic. It was a strikinclv handsome face, even when wearing, as it now aid, an expression of calm, born of des peration. No tinge of color was in either cheek or lips. His eyes shono with n strango and hard glitter, nnd were fixed upon tho balls, as they swung round, ns though on the color uppermost hung his hope of life or death. And so it was 1 He had Bat down possess edota rortune; ho rose a beggar I Fate had steadily pursued him with his mock- ng hopelessness, until ho had nlaced hi last stake, only to see it mercilessly swept irom nun. Ho half rose from tho tabic. What more was tobe.done. save to go-out somewhere into the still night nir and send a bullet through his heart or brain. It was at this motnent tho eirl. with flushed cheeks aud half parted lips, darted to his side. "Take this," sho pleaded, "for mv sake I" nnd pressed a gold piece Into his cold hand. He turned, To his excited imacination she seemed scarcely mortal,' in her pure, childlike loveliness. His first impulse was to return her offering ho was not vet an alms taker, but ngaiu rang out the croupier's cry of comniaud to place tho BU1KCS. Tho child stood breathless in her eaeer expectancy, her eyes burning with feverish Interest. V sudden impulso overmaslercd him. Without speaking a word, he placed the gold upon the table. The next minute a small pile of gold was at his elbow. Ho staked it all nmiifl. Again ho won. A bricht snot of scarlet re placed the pallor In his cheek, which spread net deepened ns Dame Fortune, who had so pcrslsteptly frowned uimn him, now reserv ed for him only her smiles. Morning wos breaking when he foisfrom tho tables no longer a desperate man, but with his fortune three-fold returned to him. After his first winning, ho had turned to fetum to tho child her oirerihtf, but she had Vanished. Should he ever find her, ever repay the debt: He knew not I but, stand' ng at last out Under the clear blue sky. nun a great weight lifted from heart and brain, Harold Clayton vowed that It should be his life-search, but that the lesson taught im should never ba forgotten, nnd the gaming tables should knott him never more. Six years passed, and Harold Clayton was winning name and fame In his own land,In his profession as an artist. Standing one night In a crowded assera bly, some one in txissing touched him lightly on the arm with her fan, and, glancing round, be met the smiling face of his hosless. "Cornel" she said, "I Want la present you to my belle. If you can petall upon her to gite you a sitting, and transfer her coloring to canvas, you will render yourself mmoTtal.,' "Is she then BO beautiful" ho nues tioned. 'Judge fof yourself," she lightly rejoined, lending him to a little groap doing homage to the fair clrl in its centre. "Jllss Ravbam Mr. Clayton," Were the formal Words of the introduction, as Harold bowed in acknowledgement before the wo man, Whom his artistic eye confessed the most beautiful that In ell his wandcrftlgs he had ever met. Before the ef cnfng" was ended he might have added the woman whom he hod ever loted, .since ste had awakened In him an Interest ns new as it was strange. Through the pcxt week her face haunted hfm. Then they met again, and the charm grew and deepened. He could not define it, he scarcely acknowledged it to himself; only away from. M(s Raybdrn he was restless aud uneasy, until he again found hnuaelt wilbiu tho scope ol her lawiua- UOlll, Yet her nature remained an enigma to him. Although so yuuug in years, so bcautilul in lorui aud texture, she seemed cold een to haughtiness reticent almost to scorn. It was as though some exquisite marble statue had riseu in bis pathway, which might some day warm into life. She welcomed hun whenever they met with a manner which, while it gave htm no immk 1.00 cause for complaint, yet ehllied the hope springing within Ills breast. One day, on going to her bottle, the ser vant met hlnl at the door with theunnounco nient that slid was was very ill. This knowledge brought ether knowledgi fact that he could nd lbnger conceal from himself that he loved her, andthaton hi: hope of winning her hung his life's happi noss. Ho Went beck to tho studio, wretched on despairing, and sealed himself at his easel, He had not meant to paint her facd hi brain seemed unconselodj of his fingcrs-toi yet, when the morning broke, it was her realures smiling Upon him from tho canvas, and ho remembered tho words his hostess had uttered on tho night he first had met her that IhUs shbUld he render himself Immortal. Ho grew pale and wan In tho days of anxious suspense, when those who watched oyer her couch know not which would con qiler, the ailgcl of life or death. But there came an hour, never to be forgotten, when ho was admitted into her prcsetice. She Was Very while.

Since then, she had been colder, more distaht, tbatl before ) but ho had caught tho momentary expression, and transferred it to the picture on which his every leisure moment was spent.

It represented a gaming-Uble, at one end of which sat a man, haggard, desperate, despairing, and by him a ebild, holding out to him a single gold-piece, With a emile in btr oyes, and seemingly a prayer on her lips. " You would a now the historf of thut picture' he said. " Let me tell you. Years ago I was in Homburg.

A correspondent of u Philadelphia daily, writiHg from Oil City, thus briefly sketches tho History of the now Universally used no. iroicum : - In 1844 petroleum was Used as a mcdi cine. At that time, and up to 1853, it wns known as Seneca Oil, probably on account ol its having been found on the surface Seneca Lake, and having first been Used by mo oeneca inaia'is as a medicine. The mode of obtalnlmr this oil. ot iw . , !.. ... . ' ' riou oi its History, was by throWlUe blanket.. on the surface of tho etlll water where the oil was wont to accumulate, and after thev had become saturated to remove theM and extract the oil by wringine the blankets. From this primitive- beginning has crown ono oi mo lending industries of tho 6talc. It was not, however, until tho year 1883-4 that petroleum began to bo valued as nn HUnilriator, and this only in a limited wav for it was then burned in its crude slato in o,d lard oil lamps, which were liable to ex- plode at any tunc. Between 1851-7 it bccameknowtl thottho explosive qualities of this product could be removed be subjecting it to a process of dis illation, and lrom that time its value be- gan to bo recognized. Hero a difficulty rose. Tho oil could not bo eatherod in sufficient quantities to supply tho demand, nu something must bo done or the new in- ustry would loll through. Accordinelv. in tho year 1858 a joint stock company was urgamzeu ior mo purpose of boring into tho rock in quest of tho now valuable oil, and vjai. ii. ii. uraKo was put at tho head of this company, with full power to push the enterprise.

The derricks used wero only thirty feet high, nd tho drilling tools only weijrhed about pounds, nnd the old "horse-power" was used for running tho machinery. With all these difficulties to contend with the work progressed slowly, and it Was not until Aug. 28, 1859, that the drill struck tho shelo at a epth of 71 feet, and the well immedialelv lilled to within five inches of tho surface, small pump was inserted, nnd the nro- duclion wns found to bo about forty barrels per diem, at which rate it kept UH for sev eral months. This well was located in Cherry Tree township, in Venango eoUnty, about two miles from What is now tho city of Titusville, on the banks ot Oil Creek. Other wells soon followed, and people becan Uock to this now field of excitement. ready to tap tho veins from which the liquid wealth poured in such profusion.
