And oh, the tremor of her heart As tackle straight he sett She deemed her brother had more art Than any tngcl yet. And at each bite she felt a glow Of pride that mado herlpeakj In louder tones ; thero came a flow ' Of blood to cither cheek. At last acatchT the silvery Sides Game twinkling o'er tlio pier She shrieked with Joy ; but soon tbe tides Of Joy were changed to fear. As full she looked upon the thing That writhed before her eyes, the heart felt for Its suffering She burst In tears and sighs I And all her day were clouded dim, With thonghts ska could not speak 1 The voice was low ; sho stood by him, Dut pale was now lic'r cheek.

It was odd, now, that I man with poor rclitions should tako to n Btratiger when bis own flesh and blood waa needed; lint sometimes it does seem ak if folks had more feeling for olbera than for their own kith and kin.- Then tbrre were cousins in the city, forehand ed aud fasbionahle.wbowere never worth n row of pins.tn Delia, and thero was lier lrattnne.Ie John's widow a-larking on thn continent, a-gamingat Baden-Baden, and trying tbe waters of every mineral spring in the tbreekinzdtdn., for no dis ease tinder tho Rtiu bnt old age. She'd been known to say that '"her folks were too rich already, and probably would en dow some hospital with ber property-." PI linly, wealthy relatives were pf no Value to MUs Delit. To be sure, she bad. never seen ber great nunt-niece since she was a child, when licr Uncle. John bad brought her into their pimple life for a month's visit with her French maid and dress en, her jwels and fallals, which won tbe heart of ber name-sake. Since then Uncle John's widow has btcome a sort of gilded creation, nlwajs youug and beautiful; for, though Delia bad received little gifts from time to time aeros tbe seas for the last fifteen years, she had nev.r heard nor seen anything of the be ing who bad inspired her youthful imag ination, and wns quite uncertain if such a person as Mrs. John Rogerson was in the Uud of tbe living. Dead or alive'sbe seemed to have made no material differ- mice to Delia's humdrum life. After having nursed her father through a long sickness, Delia found that be bad left a heavy mortgage on the homestead, nod her mother end herself on the high road to the poor house, nuUes they thnuld be. stir themselves, Ab her mother nasal- ready bedridden, the stirring naturally lell upon Delia, and she advertised for Hummer boarders: Good board in tbe eonnlrv bv the river-side, at Beven dollars n week. Imreo chambers, bread piazzns, fine views, ber riiH unci new mils. Une mile from the station, "Address Delis. Roqeksox, 'Croflsborongb, Maine." "Cheap enough 1" commented an ebV erly lady, who happened upon it. 'Deli Uogerson an old maid, I suppose, obliged to look out for herself. I've a good mind to try her broad piazzas and new milk. If I dou't like it there'll be no harm done." And so Delia's first boarder arrived an old lady with fuUe front hair, brown wrinkled skin, laded eyes, a black alpaca gowu and a butr trunk. Drlla made her at welcome as if hhe had been a duchess; lighted a wood firo iu Mm. Clement's room, as the iiiht as dump.and brought out ber daintiest cup and saucer, with the fadeltss old roses vreathing them. "Wou erl'ul kind," reflected Mrs. Clement, as she combed out ber wisps of grey hair and confined the false front to the box. "Wonderful kindness for seven dolhvs a week 1 She's new to the trade. She'll learn better. Human nature does u't change with latitudes. She'll find it oefu't jwiy to consider the comfort of a poverty-stricken old mature." Bnt in spite of her worldly wisdom Mrs. Clement was farced to confess that Delia had begun as she meant to bold out, though other boarders came to demand her attention, to multiply her cares. The fret and jar of conflicting tempcrmenU under her roof was a new expirlence to Delia. When Mrs. Oresome complained of tbe rooMiultoes, with au tiir as if Miss Bogerson were responsible for their crea tion J of the flies, as if they were new ao qxaintaures) of want of appetite, as though Delia had agreed to supply it, along with berries and new milk; of the weather as if she bad pledged herself there would be no Buddea changes to an noy her boarders; of the shabby house and autitjuated furniture, "too old for comfort aud not enough for fashion' then Delia doubted if taking boarders was her mission. "What makes you keep us, my dear?" asked Mrs, Clement, after a day when everything and everybody bad seemsd. to go wrong. "Why didn't yon ever marry? iou bad a lover, I dan iuj V Live anf Let Live." PA., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1881. "Yes; a long, long, time ago."" Tell me about him-il?" ''Tl.efo isn't much to tell. Ho asked me to marry him. He was going to Australia. I couldn't leave father and mother, yon know (they were both feeble), aud bo couldn't stay here. That's nil." "And you yon " " 'Now all men besides nro io mo like shadows,' " "And you have never beard of blM since?" "Ypb. He wrote; but wbr.ro was tho usi? It could never cohie to anything. It was better for hihl to forget mo aud marry. I was a millstone about bis n;ck. I dldn t answer his lelter." "And MiplJn.Mt.g lie should return some day, would yon marry him?'' "I dare say." liughcd Delia, gentlr, as if tbe idea wero familiar, "let the neighbors iatih over bo wisely. I've thought it sometimes, selling alone, when the world was barren and common place. One must bavo recreation of some kind, yon know. Everybody retjnires a Utile romanco, a little poetry, to flavor every-day thinking and doing. I'm afraid you think mb a silly old nlaid, Mis. Cltment." "No. The heart never grows old. Tho skin shrivels, the color departs, tbe eyes fade, the features prow pinched ; bat Iho soul is heir of eternal yonlh it i ns beautiful .it fotiri-coro as at 'sweet and twenty.' Timo makes amends lor tbe ravages of tlio body by developing the r.pirit. Ton didn't loll me vonr lover's name. Perhaps you would rather not." "His name was Stephen Langdrti. Sometimes CnptMn "Seymour runs against liiin in Melb'onrne, and brings me word bow ho lonk-B and what be is doing ; Ihoiigh I nryer nsk, oud Slpphin never aSks for mo, that I can lienr." Delia's summer boarders were not it sncoess. to be sure. If they look no monoy out of ber pocket, I hey pnt none in. Sho was obliged to eke out her support with copying for Lawyer Dnn moretand em'broiderioR for Mrs. Judge Drr. One by one her boarders dropped away liko tbo autum leaves; all but old Mrs. Clement" "I believo I wiil stay on;" she Bald: ' I'm getting too old to mov often. Perhaps yon take winter boar dors nt re duced rales. Eh?" 'Do you think my rates are high?" "Byuomeans. But vbeii one's pbrse is low ." ' Yes, I know, bo stay at yonr price. I can't spare you." She had ?rown Buch n fondness for the lady that tq refuse ber at her own terms would have seemed like turning ber own mother out of doors : besides, one more month would not bignify. But Bho fount! It bard to mako both ends meet, and wont to bed hungry that her mother and Mta. Clement might enjoy enongh, without there appealing fo be ju-l n pattern. Atbhrtslmas, however, came a ray of rsuushina for Delia, iu the ebape of a hundred dollar bill from an un known friend; "It cau't be meant for rh'o," she cried. 'Its dierited to Delia llogersou." said her mother; "and there's nobody else of that name, now that your iiuut Dilia'i. dead." "We are not buro she's dead," ob jected Delia. "Hoirurbl Don't yon know whether yonr aunt is dead or alive?" askud Mrs. Clemeut, in a tbocked tono. "It isn't our fault. She is rich and lives nbr.iad. I was named for her. I used to look iu Iho glas and try to bo lieve I'd inherit ber beauty with the name, though tho was only our great uncle's wife." 'She ognht to bo doing something for you." "How can she if she's dead? I don't blame her, anyway. Htr money is her on, to use oocoiding to her pleat.nre. Uncle John made it himself aud gave it to ber." "But if sho should otnoe back to yon. having run thtough with it, you'd di vide your last crust with her, I'll be bound," 'I onppcse I should," replied Delia. The winter wore away as winters will, and tbe miracles of spring began in fields aud waysides; uud Delia s boarders returned with tbe June rones, and dropped away again with tbo falling leuvts, nud still Mrs Clemeut stayed ou aud on. Just now she had been some weeks in arrears with her reduced board.

"I must hear from my man cf bubl- uess to-morrow, Delia; I'm knee-deep in debt to you," she began one night "Don't mention ill" cried Delia.

You might kiss me just once, if you wouldn't mind. Its a number of years siuoe any une kissed me." And the next morning, when Delia carried up Mrs. Olemeut's breakfast, her boarder lay cold and still npon the pillows. The first shock over, Delia wrote to the lawyer of whom she had beard Mrs, Clement speak as having charge of her affairs, begging him to notify that lady's relatives, if she bad any. In reply Mr. Willis wrote t The lata Mrs, Clement appears to have no near relatives.

"What interest does ho think I lake In Mrs. Clement's will," thought Delia, bnt read, nevertheless: "Being" of sonntl mind, this 10th day of June, 18-, I, Delia ilogerson Clement, do hereby leave, one hundred dollars to each of my cousins; and I beqeath the re sidue of my propirty viz: thirty thous and dollars invested in the Ingot Minting Company.

MIJIEOFTIll! httEi-r UUIDGES: Robert Stephenson, treat engineer as he was, reported that suspension biidges would never do for steam. John A. Rubtling answered with tbe Niagria suspension bridge, the cheapest structure and one of the best ever buiit for such a nccessily. In MeSai strait, which divides an is: land "from the northwestern corner of Wales, the 'tide rises to the height of thirty feet seme times, and generally twelve feet. The British government erected n bridge 6n the great high road Ir6m Euglaud t Ireland over this slrd'it iu 182C'. It is a suspension bridge built by Telford on chains, and cost $600,000 (gold) at that time. It is J 00 feet above water. Twenty years afterward George Stephtu'son began to bnild tbo tubular bridge three miles above, spanning the same strait It took five years, and trains crossed it in 1850. It has four fcpaus, the two in tbe middle being 4G0 feet wide eabb, and the whole bridge is about 1,810 feet long. It is 123 feet above high water mark, and cost $3,000,000; The Niagara suspension bridge, built byRoebling in 1752, cost only $000, 000, is 800 feet long, 230 feet above tho river, and its towers are about eighty four feet high. Tho Niagara foot-bridg , built in lbC9, cost $175,000, and was said to be. wbtu opened, the longest suspension bridge in the world or 1,258 feet between towers. Tho Cincinnati suspension bridge, by Roebllng, stands next to the Ebt river bridge, and ix 1.7.52 between tho ends; tbe b.lclge la 103 feet above low water, the towers are 230 feet high, and each is taller and larger than the Bunker Hill monument, and the struotnre oost $1, 800,000; it was built by a company, and charges threo cents toll per man. This bridge Las been in most useful oper ation since about 18C7; it was eleven years between Its commencement and opening. Roebling, the projector of tho Brook lyn bridge, was tbo greatest bridge builder in the world. He started Ibe making of wire cordage in America, and built suspension bridges to carry tie acqueducts of canals across rivers, and engineered the Pennsylvania railroad across tho niounlains. Tbo Brooklyn bridge, between towers, is lCOS" feet long. Behind the towers there are C10 fe.t each siJ, back to' the auchorages.' The whole length of tho brfdge and ap proaches is 0,000 feet It is one of the widest bridge fn the wortd, eighty-five feet with a promenade thirteen feet wide, two railroad tracks, and four car riage and two horse-oar tracks. It is lSfffeii In tho centre above the water. Tbe roek on which tho towers rest is about ninety feet below the surface of tbe tfater on the New York side,' and half that depth on the Brooklyn side the most stupendous thfig about the structure. Each tower Is J3 fott long Year if Paid in Advnnco. not paid in advanccj $1.25. by fifty-six wide, and at tho top thca dimensions are reduced to 120 feet by forty, or the Bizo of a very largo house Each tower is 2C8 feet above high water.

They are well thought of and go in good society. The father has always been a model inau. He uses no tobacco, never drinks or Bwears, and hover made his wife jenlous. They were married in an Eastern Btate, and lived there and here in solid comfort and in npparcnt happi ness. Not long ago one of those changes th' t sometimes comes over th4 waywafd human heart turned the wife's affections away from her husband to centre on a b,clielrr neighbor.

Ho said, with a laugh that didn't amount tn anything, and the pleAsnnt relations that had existed between all the parties remained nnbrokon, eo far as the neigh bors could see. The baohelor was very attentive and the lady avo him every opportunity; while the husband mani fested an nttcr.judifforeuce.

The log it) a triangular, or quad rangular, pleco of wood about a quarter of an loch thick so balanced by means of a plats of lead as to swim perpendicular ly In the water, with about two-thirds of it nnder the water. The log-line Is a small cord, the end of which divided into three, so that the wood hangs from the cord as a scole-pan from a balance beam is fastened to the log, while the other is wound round a feel on the ship. The log, thu. poised, keeps its place in the water; while the line is unwound from the reel as tbe ship moved through tho water.and the length of liuo unwound in a given time gives tbe rate of the ship's sailing. This is calculated by knots made on the line at certain di.tances, while tbe time is measured by a sand-glass of a certain number of seconds. The length between1 tho knots is so ptonor. tinned to the time of the glass that the knots unwound while the glass runs down show tbe number of miles the sbfp" is sailing per tour. The fl'rst knot is plaocd about five fathoms from the log,! to allow the latter to get clear of the ship before tbe reckoning commences. This is railed the stray-line. The Jog-nook, sometlmee called the log for brevity, is the record that tne proper officers keeps of the speed and all matters that occur that are deemed worthy of note, of the winds and storms,and especially of ships that are sighted. now to Get Mick.
