"Shcls dead I'' they said to htmj "cqmo awayj
Kiss her and lcafo hef thy lovojs clay I''
They tJmoe'thca her trcaeos of dark brown
,. hair!
On her ft'rc&ad orstcno they laid It f.ilr ;
Oyer her eyes', that gazed too much,
They drew tho lids with a gcntlo touch;
With a tender touch tlicy closed up well
Tho sweet thin lips that had scercts to toll.
About her brows' and beau'tllul f.150
They tied licr veil and her marrln'go laec,
Arid drew on her vll'iltS feet hor wlilto silk
shoes
Which wero tho whitest an oyo couU clibosc
And ovor her bosom tliey crossed her liarulS.

And thcro was silence, ard notblni? thcro

And jasmlno, and roses and rosemary j
And they said, "Asaladyshouldlte.llessho."
And.lh'oylicld'th'cIr breath' till they left tho

With a shudder, to glanco at Its stillness r.nd

Hut ho who Itfrcd her t6oj,WclI to dread

Ho lit his lamp nod took tho key ,,.
And turned It alono again ho and Eh3.

Though he called her the name Sho' iivcl ere

Ito qnd she ; still sho did not niovo
To any one fnsslonato whisper of love.
Then, ho said, "Cold Hps and breasts without

Is thcro no voice, no languago of dcathf
Dumb to tho car and still to tho tecs's, , .

Sco now ; I will listen with soul, not car :
What was tho secret ofdylng, dear t
Was It tholnflnlto wonder of all
That you over could let llfu's flower fall ?
Or was it a greater marvel to fed ,
Tho perfect calm o'er tho agony steal!
Was tho mlraclo greater to find how deep

Did life roll back It: records', dear,.
And show, ns they say It docs', past things'

And was t Hi (incrmost heart of tho bliss
To find orit co, what a wisdom lovo Is?
O perfect dead ! O dead most doar,
I hold tho breath of my soul to hear I
I listen ns deep as to horrlblo f.'ell,
As high as to heaven, nnd you do not tell.
Thcro must bo plcasuro In dying, sweet,
To mako you so placid from head to feet I -
1 would tell you, darling1, If 1 were dead,
And 'twere your hot tears upon my brow s lied
I would say, though tho Angel of Death had
laid
Ills sword os ray Hps to keep unsaid.
You should not ask vainly, with streaming
eyes,
Which of all deaths was thochlcfcstsurjirlse.
The yc?y strangest and suddenest thins
Of all the f uprises that dying must bring.
Ah, foolish world ; O most kind dead !
Though liotuhl me, Mho will bcllovo It was

Who will bellcvo that ho heard her faff. .

And coo you, and lovo you, nnd kiss you dear;

"Anal The poethas Jiist,flspirf.ed.Mo
thought I caught a girapso of a gray
pony and sky bluu carvat disappearing
In the distance We nil know a certalu
person whoso neckties are his most con
spicuous feature. My dear Itobert, I
am sorry to bring you down from the
realms of fantasy to dwell on each
mundane subject ns egg's. Hut children
will have birthdays,, aud children must
nave cake."
"Why, for tho last two days I have
been saving eggs for Jimmy's birthday,
and had Intended sending a basketful
to-morrow. Howover, Hill can tako
then this evenlng.'and ride your pony
home, for I do not intend you shall re
turn to night."
"All right. Bet J must bo at homo
In tlmo for the party, or tlio children
nover will forglvo me; and they wa'nt'
to sco cousin Itobert, too."
"Poor chlldrenl It Is right good In
them to want us w'ben vu teaso them
so. Of courso wo must put lu an ap
pearance. Hut I havo mado nu engage

Ernestine Uelacey had, during tills
conversation, obeyed her cousin's In
junction to alight, and was now stand

homestead' .,

Tlio cousins entered n spacious sltitng
room,. Hero tliey found tlielrold grand
mother, with Kato and Manda Clifford,
merry twins of sixteen summers.
"Now, girls," said Ernestine, after,
glvin'g grandmother a lovlug.klss, "toll
mo at once what our May-day frolic is
to bo."
"Wo aro going to looh In tho well,"
cried tho twins hi ono breath.
"Look InHJo well! Why I do that
every tlmo I draw n bucket of walor."
"Stupid I If wo look to-morrow at

gave you this Information?"
"Aunt Judy, sho said tlio young
ladles at tho old Lindsey placn (fid It
every fir3t of May, and wo nto going,
thcro to morrow. They held a looking
glass, so that tho suit's rays would
strike It, and then saw an Image reflect
ed In tho welf.''
"Hut why net look In gtandn'a's

"Becaiiso this yard Is shaded at
twelve o'clock,"
"Yes," said the grandmother, "and
the suu mutt bo shining straight down
upon the watef."
"Did you ever look In tho well,
grandma?"
"Only onre, my dear."
"And did you see grandpa?"
"No, but I havo tfnown girls who did
cq their future husbands, or really Im
agined that they did "
Then do tell us about somo of them,"
pleaded Kato.
Iho old lady well pleased, launched
forth into a tale of her youth, which
was only concluded with tho hour for
retiring.
Notwithstanding tho Important busl
ness before the young pecplo, grand
ma's nlco breakfast was not slighted
tho next morning.. You may lull: of
tho nppptlto of growing boys find old
bachelors, it would lose by comparison
witli that of school girls and mUscs,
when flannel cakes and fried chicken
uro set before them. Human tic Interest
in tlio future destiny, so soon to ba re
vealed, did not rob them of their tastn
for practical enjoyment. Hut no soon.
r was tho last knife nnd fork laid up
on the plitte, than (hero came a simul
taneous movement of chairs, and nn
encer rush for hats and baskets.
The party took dinner with them to
avoid walking back lu tho heat of the
dav.
. . i.i
Tho old Lindsey place was two miles
distant; but It was only nlno o'clock.
and, having three hours to spafc, Hiey
sauntered leisurely along, following a
pleasant shady path in preference to the
dusty public roada. Hill, a mulatto ooy
of twelve, brought up the rear. On ono
arm hung a hugh hamper of provisions
with tho other ho supported a small
looking glass, in wnlch lie stole fre
quent glauc.es at his own dusky, counte
nance, lllumlued by two rows of grin
ning ivor.. , , .
The? wero in a portion of tho Slato
which bore the happily appropriate
name "Feliciana." Tho large white
blossoms of tho magnolia shone out
from every grovo, wild flowers smiled
upon them from thp hedges; soft, vel
vety grass yielded to the fight press,uro
of their feet, and littlo springs murmur
cd cheerfully over their pebbly beds.
Green corn and sugar cane, showing
their fresh young blades, relieved tho
eyes which inlr-ht bo wearied by tho iu
lenso blue of tho cloudless heavens; but
Ltho dingy cottou plants reserved theli
enowy balls to sprluklo over tho dreary
winter landscape
As our party passed through "Tho
Quarters," many voices called from tho
cabins wishing them good luck, for tho
slaves of olJen times took great delight
In all tho lovo affairs of their youug
ladles.
Merry chat begslled the way, feet
kept pace wltli tongues, and all were
surprised when they nnived lri sight
of their destination.
Tlio Lindsey mansion was onco n
handsotno bsjcV. residence A midnight
conL'agralion had destroyed the Interior,
and the owner, ruined by losses, unablo
to sell or re-build, had sought a, homo
elsewhere. The walls were yet stand
ing, atitl afforded shelter from tho sun
beams which now began to be oppres
sive, Ono of tho cliimneys wiis eivclopvcl
by a beautiful creeper, and "where onco
n garden smiled" a few strangling roso
bushes mado a slckjy attempt at bloom
log a fit scene for m'cdltatid'u on'thS
mutations ot life.
Hut our young folas wero too Intent
on tho bright futurq to bestow one
thought upon the shadowy past. They
deposited their baskets In a corner ol
the ruins, sealed theiukclyes under thn
shade of the luxuriant vine, and sent
Ned in search ot tho old well. Nearly
ah hour had" passed, and they began to
crow Imnatleut.
"There ho comes," cried Manda, "il
know ho has found It, for hols gtluuini
from oar to ear."
"That la uo sign," said ltoberttlne,
"Nod would grin just so If he came to
repcit a der.th from drowning.
Sho was right. Ned declared tho
well was "no' wha:1 round ills hero
place."
"Why, Ned," exclaimed Robertlno,
"didn't you tell mo you knew just where
It wn?"
"Yen, iuly. (iranilmamuiy told me
It war right down In do ole Hold; but
deie alu't no olo field dele."
"What shall wo do? It is nearly
twelve oVlock:"
"I .'tiii', Mania,' said Ernestine,
'i, " we take a seattu, ai i trace
$1.00 a
If
Kato nnd Itobert to mind tho baskets."
Ernestine, Manda nnd Ned disappear
ed In different directions.
"What do you think I dreamed last
night?" said Ilobortlnc. "I thought i
fell Into the well, and Albeit Suthcrv
land pullid mo out.'
"IIo would bo raorq likely to stop
nnd compose, 'Lines on n Young Lady
Falling lu n Well.' Look, Itobert, you
havo Invoked the evil spirit."
Had tho young man approaching
tliciu been n trilie less self satisfied, ho
must havo perceived that his presenco
was unwelcome. Yet ho addressed
them with tho utmost assurance:
"You seo I am In time, ladles."
"Who told you nbout Oitr coming
here?" asked ltobertlue, bluntly.
"I was ntMrs. Dclacey's when Ned
arrived with tlio horse."
"Aha!" thought ltobc:t.lu.0i " am
glad sho was. not nt home." Vut tho
next moment sho said aloud : "So you
missed Ernestine! How unfortunate!"
"Is not your cousin with you to-day?"
Just then voices wero heard crying:
"Foundl-fomidi"
Let ns go nt onco," exclaimed
Manda. "It must bo qulto twelve
o'clock."
Ernestine and Manda, camo running
forward to conduct thctn to tho spot.
Albert found an opportunity to say :
"I trust I ain not Intruding, Miss Er
nestine I hoped to bo permitted to bo
hold in tho waters of this well tho same
Imago which has been eu9hriucd in my
heart so long."
"If you moan Kobertlne, I can as-
suro yon
t "i (M not mean your cousin. Is it
possible that belief can have occasioned
your coldness and iudlu"ereiice?'t
"I do not understand you, Mr. Suth
erland. Wo must hurry on. I seo
Kate is already looking In tho well.
What do you sen, Kitty?"
Sho left her lover disconcerted, but
not despairing. . ,
Kato declared that sho saw a cap
and a. plums; so her destiny was to
marry a soldier. This proved to be
Ned's hat, intq which ho had stucK a
chicken feather.
In, tho samo way the other girls look
ed, nnd fancfed something, to have their
Illusions speedily destroyed.
"Now let mo try," said Mr. Suther
land, taking tlio glass.
llobertino mado a sign to .Ned, who,
stepped behind nnd leaned forward, so
as to bo reflected In tho well.
Tho young man started ns a pair of
largo eyes beamed upon Mm, from tho
water. Hut that mouth surely , those
were-not her delicate curved lips! Hero
Ned's chuckle and tho girl's laugh
caused Mr. Sutherland to turn sn sud
denjy n's to discover tlio joke
Tho clrU made many apologies, and
wero at length forgiven.
Now they werp ready for, lunch, and
started in tho direction ' of tlio ruins,
Eincstlno, feailug that Mr. Souther-.
land might renew his attack, contrived
to hide In tho bushes until ho was out
of sluhl

The little rafiror had been forgotten
In their haste, mid Erncstlno thought
"1 will try onco more Who knows
but what I moy see my falo at last!" ,
She threw mio arm around an ojil
stump, with the other held tho glass
above her head, and leaned forward,
her lonfblapl; hair flouting around in
wayward tresses, and dark eyes glow

Sho uipvcd, trio glass a little, and his
fqrm was reflected In tho well. Ernes-
tine leaned further, tho decaying stump
yielded under her light pressure, and a
heavy splash broke tho still surface) of
tho stream, ...
Five minutes late Ernestine seemed
to nwake from a long sleep with n shiv
ering sensation. Opening hcreyes.thcy
met another pair of tho deepest bluo
gaxlnc earnestly upon, her..' , (

Tho young man had succeeded in

After tlifa girls arrived Ernestine was
sitting alone, gazing disconsolately at
at her dripping garments. , ,
Sho could remember falling Into the
well, but sho could not lmaglno who
had taken her out. .
All agreed her rescuer must bo the
owner of those, beautiful eyes she had
supposed to be Robertlnn's.
Tliey hurried her back to grandma,

is the usual hour l'of settling. At noon there
was no cash forthcoming, aud, as is tho case
ordinarily, tho ..'hecks were placed in tlio
hands of a notary who demanded payment.
Tlicro was no payment, aud tho checks
wero protested. Tills surpriso for tho street
was only, aggravated when tho official an
nounccmcnt was mado that tho 1'liilndCj?
pluaand Heading Coal and Iron Company
had suspended payment. Immediately
tlio oflico was besieged
"What arollio reasons for tho suspension?"
Inquired a reporter.
"I havo nothing to say," responded t&o
Secretary, nnd in response to an inquiry
about nn official tutement panjo tho answer:
"Mr. Gowcn has no statement for thu public
nt present.1
It was not long before tlio wildest excite

which had opened at 3, went down to 20

This action of tlio Uoartf of Marj?EV3.was
Immediately telegraphed tu Iho various
ioiiits along Iho lino of tlio railroad. Tho
worst Y$ now known, nl al tho fears
had been verified. All this afternoon every

tremely reticent, and refer all inquirers to
Mr. Gowcny who kept his mouth .tightly
closed, aud started off fur New York to

wer to a question, said: "I havo, nothing tn

A director who preferred that his name
