Listru I" Ernest llrlisley stood with one hand upon tho ehouldcr of his beautiful sister, while the other Vrus raUed iu an nttitnde of expectation. Flo.ttitiB on the still night air their clangor softened by thedistiince for the old church-fctceple was ruoro than a mile away canie the sweet janfclirg of tho bells llmt wtre ringiiiR out a farewell to tho oM year that ' 'lay a dying." It nat ou a broad Vernuda. overlook ing a spaciovs garden, that Hand Drills ley nnd lur brother stood on that New Vear's-ive. Tbe air was frrsty, but not a breath of wind stirred Ihe leaves of the l.iiml-trtes below, while bltjb up iu the hky an almost full moon poured forth n flood of silvery lustre. Listen!" salt! Ernest again, in Ids deep grnvo voice. "In a few moments now Iho past jcar, wilh nil its j.'y and orxows, will be ended, Will yon, Maud, nllowauotheryenr to find you still haih, unforeiviu!.', aud implaciiblt 1 Utnard Do uot name him!" cried bis sister, vehemently, though htr voice shook a littles "Eruest. you pluul in vain. I can uever never forgive himl" "Think once again, ltcmi'inbt-r he is my frit nil. Yes, although be bus givwi you gond canst) for y.ur rmjiitmcnt, I call bitu still my friend. How nineh be deplores (bat tine rush net, and nil Ihe coiuri-qmiiffu that lmve flowtil ironi it, I know lull well. And, Jl.uid, bo loves you loves jou Mill." Maud did not attempt to speak when her brother paused, but she made an im patient gesture. ' I repeat It, liana, ho loves jou still; nnd incredulous as jou may b, he has always loved you. Sco him onca more let bira, with his own lips, plead fo: yonrfurgivemss. It will be bard, I know. for you to overlook the pn.t I know that well. Hut tho year is tlylng, Maud; let your rtsentment die with it! L;t uh iu good truth welcomo the advent of a hap py New Year! "No, no!" she said slowlv; "it is im- possible! Wc arc pa.-led aud so we must remaiu!" She shivered as she spoke. "Jland, dear ot e, jnn are cold. Let me letch yon another wrap." "I will not bo u moment," she said. quitting bis side bailily. I can fetch a cloak, and bo back again almost di rectly." As sbo spoke she flitted tLrough tho balf.gl.tsH door opening upon the veran da, and was lost to sight. It was uot the cold however, that made her shiver, but the recollections of the past that thronged upon her; aud she hurried off to letch Ihe cb ak herseir, in order that she might have an opportunity to recover her cqua uim'y, and steel her hi art to listen nu. moved to her brother's further pleadings. ... AO sooner bad the door closed than Eruest took a sutUHi step forward, aud leaned over the iron railiog of the bal oony. "Bernard 1" he cried, in n suppressed voice "lleruard I" At the summons a dusky Score step ped out of the shadow of a clump of laur els, where be bad been standing unob served, aud paused in tho garden-walk below. "You have heard all ?" said Ernest, In terrogatively. "All I" lie spoke In deep dejection. "ir could plead your own cause," said Ernest, "you might bav a chance; and see, fortune favors you strangely. Come gently up the steps, and stand here In my place here, near this pillar. In the shadow she will not for a moment notice tho exchange, then will be your oppor. tunlty; mako the best you cm of it. Quick- quick ! she comes I ' A wild hope sprang up suddenly in Ihe loyer's breast, aud influrnced by II, be hurriedly ascended the stone steps. Hard ly had li3 taken up tbe requisite position aud Ernest disjppcared, ere the door opened ami Maud came forth. Brief bad been hr absence, yet Maud told herself it had been sufficient for ber to conquer the weakness which bad as sailed ber. 8he was calm now she was sure she was quite calm though tbe palms of her Lands were burning and ber eyea ached. Hut she would tear no more upon the subject about that she was determined.

PA., SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1882. In ber bands sbo carried n large white scarf, and hastening forward, she threw it round the neck of tho sibnt figure, while in a tone of gaily, which odly served to display instead of etinceal ber emoticn, sbo rxclalmedl "Here, Ernest, is a wrap for you ! If Jon will bo so absurd as to Bland out hire listening to Iho old church bells, you must protect yourself from tbe cold as will ns mjselr. and ah 1" A cry almost n scream burst from her lips. She fried to fly, but the found her hands grasped so tlghlly that any effort at extrication Would be futile. 'Help! belpl" she cried. "Itelcase me, lir. Let go this moment! Ernest Ernest ! whirs Bfe you ? Let go, I say.' "SJand Miss BrinsUy,'' said Bernard in those deep, thrilling tones of bis, cannot Indeed I cannot let yon go 1 Stay one moment only one moment 1" How that rich voieo rauc In her ears 1 Despite herself, it mt.ved her strangely, She had never heard it siuco that night wbcu they parted, as sbo ftlt, forever. "Surely," she panted, breathlessly, for she struggled to get free, "surely you will not bo guilty of holding me here by force 1 Release my hands at once 1" Not j ct," answered Bernard in great agitation, ".Sot unlil you have heard me speak. I fed that I have now at least one fiail bold npm happiness, nnd I cling to it ns n drownifg tailor might to a fragment of a wreck. And my llfe.what is it but a wreck ? Maud -Maud, as yon may one day have need to ask for forgive ness yourself, lit mo beg of you to bear me !' "llelease hie.l" was all aho said. With a stifled groan he obeyed ber. She was fr'S. But her axms dropped down to her side; and after taking one hasly step toward tbe door, she paused. At tins instant tbe church bells ceased with slartliug suddenneea their o'nngiiig peal. The hour of midnight had almost come. Trembling in every limb, with ber heart beating almost to suffocation, anx iotisjo flee, yet feeling it impossible to move, she stood spell-bound, ns it seeui- od, by the solemn stillness all aronnd. "Mand," said Bernard, brokenlv, "tbe bells have done; they will not ring again till the New Year comes. Thu duration of tbe old year may now" be reckoned by minutes nay, seconds. Surely this should be a time forme to invoke all the gentlest fet lings of your naturo 1 By the love yon once had for me, do not, oh 1 lo not condemn mo to another year of misery and woe ! I am here, an almost Ik art-broken suppliant, and my sole ro- liauce is on woman's forgiving spirit. I have wronged you Maud; I confess to it with grief, with sbamo. But bow bitter ly I have repented tf that act of folly none can know except mystlf none ex cept myself; for could you gutss how bitter, how sincere haR beeu my repent ance, you would at least have pity forme, if cot Vorgiveness, Do not leave me. Maud, do not crush me with despair. Ere the New Year corn's let me bear one word of forgiveness only one and I will be content." Great as was tUo wrong this man bad done ber. Mand felt that the love which nl! lur t fibrin had been in vain to cast out was slill domiuaut in her breast, and urging ber lo crush down that resent mcnt which she bad thought sle muM ever bear towards him. Her brain whirled; she Alt sick and faint; aud Ihen came tbe soltinn strokes of tbe (dd church clock striking the hour of ti Ive. "In nnolher moment," suld Bernard, 'it will bo too lute! Maud Maud ! For give rt.rgivr P Ono aflir nnolher camo the strokes iiwui the clock until tho twelltlt was reached, and then for a few seconds, which km med liko an age lo those two on the vernuda, there was at.aiu that im pressive silence. Maud pnt ber bauds to ber throat she felt choking. She tried to speak.but not even a murmur issued from ber lips. Down on his kuecit sank Bernard; wilh outstretched hand be grasped her dress, anrt turned his anguished guze upon her. Vv hat did he see ? Could it be real ? A mist curao over bis eyes, and then bo a-trembllng baud touch his.wl.ile n voice iu the faintest whisper murmured! "lorgiveu! Yes-yea, Bernard 1 "Fer- given 1" "At hst I" With one spring be was on bis feel, and pressing tho loved one iu those arms which he had feared would never encircle her ugaiu. Then with a wild, mad peal tbe Now Year's chimes rang out upon tbe frosty air. Now low, then high, and anon fall, iug into a softer o.ideuce, but speuking to Bernard s ears with joy ineffable. Aud now Maud clung to him, while she sobbed and cried with hysterical vio lence. "Thank you, darling," said Bernard huskily. "Thank you for those words. This is' indeed a happy New Y'earVday forme! Speak o'gaiii.darliug ! Tell me once more that I am forgiven ?" "Forgiven I" sobbed Muud. "Forgiv. en freely; and what is more, the past tbe dreadful past, which even now makes me shudder to think about it that shall be wholly and absolutely forgotten as well as forgiven I I will uever speak of It uever allude to it iu any way. I'roin lie me that no mention of that subject shall ever be made again. "Heaven bless you, Maud I I fain would speak; for if you know all, you would And some pity for mo I" "No, no not a word I Not one I We have both suffered, but tbe suffering is over now. "And you will trust me again?" "Absolutely and entirely I I have al- ways felt that I could never do so, but love conquers, and I know that you are as dear to me aa you evttr.wera I" Again and again did Bernard clasp tbe 1 - 1 1 generous woman to bis heart, and when , (be heard bis vows, uttered with an im- 1. 1... SI. 00 pressivencss that left no doubt of thel sincerity, she felt that out of evil cometh good. And with a soft and gentle step Ernest stole away nnpercelveil, unheard. He felt that be could not yet intrude upon that scene of reconciliation and trust re newed. 'I III; KlsMiVK IIISAL'ON.

Aa ho could not im mediately take another wife cud avoid exciting scandal, aud could not get along Without some one to take charge of the kitchen and nursery, bo had recourse to employing n young woman as housemaid. Nancy Stearns Was a laughing, rt taping girl, who delighted in experimenting U on tbe deacon by way of testing lie strength of human uatnre. For a lorg time the deacon was invulnerable; but at last.in a moment of unguarded weakness, was led into temptation, and into com' milting a slight indiscretion wilh hia beautiful housemaid. Wbon In bis wont d presence of mind, he was horrified at tbe enormity of his siu. In valu he griev. ed over lost virtue. Finally, us n last effort for relieving bis conscience, at Ihe conclusion of tho servic-s on tbe follow ing Sunday, he arose and n quested tbe forhoarance of the brethcrn and sisters a few moments, when be electrified them by making the following confession: "My Christian friends, yon all know that I lost my dear w ifo some man! bs ago. aud that Nancy Stearns has been keeping liouso for me; and yon know that I have o Utile child not a year old, Well that child would cry in tho nigbt.and it would ben long time before I could qniet il; and last Tuesday night God forgive mel the child cried so bad that Nancy aroso and camo into Ihe r.iom, and leaned over the bod to bush the child and, brothers and sisteis, her leauinc over made me forget Cbiistl' "What did jou do?" sternly demanded the mininlcr. I I ki kissed her!" stammered out the deacon between his sobs, "but I bavo been very sorry about it nnd proj ed to be forgiven and I want you to forgive me and pray for me, 1 rothers nud sisters." As tho deacon bowed himself upon his seat like the mighty oak before the tor nado, Deacon Goodfellow arose and as tonished the audience Btill more by say. ingi "Brothers and sisters, you have heard what Deacon Brown has paid, ond now he wants our forgiveness. For my part, I tbiLk Brother Brown is truly penitent and I am willing to forgive biro with my whole heart. Aud brothers and sisters, I add slill farther, that if I had no wife, aud a pretty girl like Nanoy Stearns should come to my room and lean over me, I'd kiss her and abide the conse quences.

The following curious facta are men tioned in a recent lecture by Chief Jus tice Horton, of Kuusas, before tbe Atch ison Institute: Four hundred years ago, nt least, tbe present jnry system was adopted. An old tract sajs tbe jury of twelve was adopted because the prophets were twelve; thu apostles numbered twelve, there were twelve Jewish judges, twelve pillars of the temple, twelve patriarchs, twelve tribes of Israel, twelve stones in Aaron's breast-plate, twelve gates of Jerusalem, twelvo mouths of the year, and twelve signs in tbe zodiac In all times the number of twelvo has been regarded ai an Important number. Iu the early ngis tho outh of twelve ptraons was necessary to convict. When juries were first established, the judge took tbe jurors about wilh him in a cart until they agreed. If they didn't agree, tbe were fined and imprisoned. illiam Tenn was once prosecuted in Loudon for street preaching. The jury was locked up without meat, drink or tire to find a verdict. They declared Peun not guilty, nnd tbo judge sentenced each of tbem to pay a fine. Juries aro not now compelled to agree. An Ohio judge was a fatalist, and used to determiue perplexing cases by chance, An ludiuna judge once bad n number of cases to pass npon, and be gave decision turn about for plaiutilT and defendant, declaring afterward that they were the b-st decisious be ever made, as every ono of them was sustained by the Supreme Court. General Beln M. Hughes told an anecdote of David B. Atchison, who was a Senator from Missouri and Vioe-Presi dent of tbe United Slates. He was a dis trict judge in Missouri before bo was a Senator, aud was holding a term of court in a frontier county. The lawyer for tbe plaintiff quoted Blackstone. Tbe op- posing counsel, iu reply, said that he was astouislii'd that bis learned brother should quote from au English law-book, written by au English nobleman, in an American court of justice a book writ- tju by n man wbo had kissed the bloody baud of George III. At tbe close of bis speech Judge Atchison declared that ho wus surprised at such a proceeding iu his court. lie gave judgment for Ihe defend Aitt, uud declsicd thut if tbo attorney for the plaintiff ever ngaiu read in his hear ing a book written by n red-coated Tory he would flue him for cmtempt. i ' A washerwoman's ohief support is tho clnll.es' prop. -Tho dock strikes without stopping work.
