A wild, bleak place it eeemed to stran gers, but ns it was, Datuo Brettmuun loved it Her thatched cottago was placed la a tiiche far up tho mountain side, and all around wero rocks snd clefts, and snatches of hilly clearings, wbcro her little flock of sheep browsed,ezcept wheu the snow lay thero in great drifts, ns it did throughout every winter. Feople wondered that the dame should have chosen such an isolated rngged spot for her abode, while the valley lay be neath, with its green fields, its sparkling streams and varied woodland, which could not find footing in theBhallow soil above. , The reason that the dame loved the place, with its summer gnsts and sudden storms, its winter cold and driving snons. was that she was a native Swiss, nnd all these reminded her of tbe laud she Had left years and years before. Then she had been a hale yonnc; ma. tron, with a s'rong, honest, toilsome, good m.xxs, and three 'chubby-cheeked little onis tugging after htr, clinging to her short linsey skirts, ns she worked with willing heart aud hands to add comforts to tho new home. All, me! she bad seen s-irrow since, and her husband and babits all lay in the churchyard, with slabs of rough grauito above their heads. Now she wni a withered, wrinkled old woman, with huir lying white and smooth beneath her mnslin cap, and with rheu m.ttic twinges that often kept her from bobbliug down the mountain path upon tbe Sabbath d?y, to the littlo church she had attended regulirly for the post lorty years. Only Bretta, her grand-neice, lived with her iu her eyrie cottage home. A blithesome, neat-handed lass was Bretta', but with a head ns light as her heart, and some Tain notions in it, which gave dame Breitmann many n qualm of misgiving, and called many a reproof down upon the young girl. But Bretta was a willful minx, and the dame's precepts Ml without impression upon her mind. She heard without heed ing, and forgot nil warnings hen there was Banger that they would interfere with ber pleasure. She would linger in the villnge where she went to Bell hunch es of prodnce gathered from the thorn hedged garden, the great, white-shelled eggs from the poultry-yard, and the rolls of jellow butter which the dame gather ed from tho milk of her one cow. Never a Saturday but Bretta, in her neat, short gown and white starched sun bonnet, w itb the heavy basket ou ber arm, trudged down the mountain path, ont o cross the valley to the village bouses, where her patrons lived. And never on such an occasion but she returned with a yard or two of gaudy ribbon, a tinsel brooch, or some other bit of finery to adorn herself at next day's meeting.where she dropped a penny into the mission oox Instead of the shilling which tbe dame allowed her. All this troubled the good dame sorely, aud btsides, she worried herself into a fever of anxiety every night when the girl went down tbe mountain to drive the cow up from the common pastures. The dask would creep down and tbe mist settle over the valley, before the bell about Crnmble's neck could be heard tingling as she camo slowly np the path. IC was no use to fiud fault with or send her hours earlier, for she only loitered the more ou the way. Bat Dame Breit mann noed not have feared for her. Bret- la was fleet and sure of foot as a chamois, and knew every rock and crevioe until she could tread them in the darkest night "Make haste, Bretta," the dame would Hi every evening when tbe girl tied bonnet over her glossy hair. "Get thee home before the twilight lulls," "Ay, granny," Bretta would respond, bounding away before auotber admoni tion onld be given her. And then she would sing snatches song, aud turn from tbe path into all sorts of out-of-the-way places, in search of gray lichens aud red-cup moss.or clam ber, up tbe precipice after glittering sparks, which she was snre were precious jewels nutil she reached tbem, wheu they turned to pink or white pebbles In her hand. Su when the valley was reached, the shadows would lie thick and dark in every uook, and the mountain top would be lost from sight by ths mist which hung between. Then Bretta, whq knew nothing of fear, would cull Crumble and start her along tho path,wbile she linger ed to chat with the lasses she might en counter on the green. So it was that she trudgeii homeward one night, later even than was her wont, with Crumble' bell soundiog far ahead. Live ana Let Live." PA., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1882. Now, tbe broad path up the mountain wound in and out in great curves, avoid ing the chasms, and choosing tho most gradual asoent There was another and more direct way which Bretta often fol lowed, and whtob Rhe chose now to accel erate her return. This was narrow and rough, nnd in some plaoes so steep that climbing up It from rook to rock was like ascending a great natural stairway. This night the mist bad settled down until it hung an impenetrable curtain, shntting everything out into a region of obscurity. Even Bntta'a sharp eyes eonld not distingnsh objects more than a yard distant; but she clambered on fear-- lsly, sFcurc In her perfect knowledge of the way. At length tbo path verged upon a more levej Space, where on one side there was n sheer descent of a hun dred feet, and on the other tho rocks broke away in a wide eloft or ravine. Tbe moon was struggling up outside the mist, lighting it now with a kind of opaque brilliancy, Bretta was half way across this ridge stretching over this space to the next as: cent, when she paused at a sight which took away ber breath and held her mo tionless ns she gazed at it. A woman's figure, toller, she knew, than any living woman could be, white, and dim and waveiing, stood up against tbe mist ont over the middle of tbe precipice. It had long floating hair waving about its shoulders, and seemed to approach or recede as the mist thickened or was pierc ed by the moon's rays. For a moment Bretta lost speech and thought, ard gazed awe-stricken upon it. Then her native courage came back, and clasping her bands reverently, she ad dresad It: "Spirit, or whatever thou ort, what wouldst thon with me?" The spirit did not speak, but as Bret ta folded ber bands, threw up its arms as though warning her back. "8peak to mef Bretta cried, implor ingly. "See, I do not fear thee. Ttll me why thou hast sought me here?" But the figure wavered away.and Bret ta turned to see the mist breaking and rolling up before the bright moonlight. When she looked again, spirit and mist bad vanished together. She turned her fnoe toward the mountain, and thero, a few steps before her, the ledge had crum bled away, leaving a yawning gulf, into which she surely would have fallen had she attempted to traverse it through the mist. "Ah.now I know it was a good spirit," she said to herself, "But far it I should be lying down there bruised and dying upon the rocks. With a thankful heart Bretta crept down the ledge nnd back through the ravine, until she could regain the path beyond the new-made fissure- She found Cmmble grazing near tbe cow-yard, and fchnt her within, while she went onto tbe cottage, where Dame Breit mann had grown nervous over her long absence. Child, child! why wilt thon loiter so late? Tbou wilt come to no good by it.' "Never mind, granny," Bretta answer ed, witb her usual careless laugb, as she reached down the bright tin pail from tbe shelf. "I have oome to no ill by it yet." The dame sighed, and took np the gray stocking from her lap. But her thoughts were tron'tled, nnd her bands trembled so that she dropped stitches from her needles and tangl d the yarn unbound from ber bull. Bretta, coming in with fonming, brim miug pail, found her straining her eyes over the miswrought work. "Let me do it, gr.inny," she said, with more thoughtfulucss than she often dls played. And taking the knitting from tbe aged hands, she kneeled down before tbe fire nnd proceeded to set it right Dame Brellmaun laid her quivering band .npon tbe girl's bead, passing it dowa tbe long locks which bad escaped from their fastening, then uttered a re proving exclamation: Bretta, child, thy hair is heavy witb damp! Why, whtro was thy bonnet?" But Brettn was 'lost in ber own thoughts, nnd it was easy for lhe dame to conjecture that sbu bad carried her head, covering instead of wearing it. From that day tbe girl studied more carefully her grand-aunt's comfort. When she sewed, the picked up the scraps aud lint she bad scattered, instead of racing away, as heretofore, the moment ber task was done. A little watchfulness ou ber part spared the good dame many a pain. ful step. The latter wondered at tbe change and was thankful; but knew not tbe cause of it, for Bretta never told ber that she had seen the Spirit of the Mist. The girl thought the specter she bad seen was a cpeoial protecting power, and thinking that such was watching over her, taught her greater gentleness toward others who were not so favored. For a time the dame had no causo for complaint. Then BrctLi longed to see the spirit again, and lingered late upon the ledge. Bat night after night passed her and it did not come. Ve4k8 passed. Bretta was gradually going back to ber old light ways. One night she lingered Ute in the valley, and speeding homeward, thought nothing of of the spirit until sbo reached the ledge. She was half startled tq find it there again, piotqred against the mitt midway out over the precipice. She spoke, but it did not answer, and vaBished as before when ths mist rolled away in the moon. light. A sonnd floated np from the void of space which chilled her blood. But she was a brave girl, as we have seen, so she leaned far out over the precipice, striv ing to pierce 'the darkness beneath. Then the sound was repeated again and again, and Bhe knew It to be the moan of some one in pain. She balloted, and a faint voioe ans. wered ber, It was many minutes before she could make out tbe situation, which ve shall explain in a few words, A man bad beta hunting on the moon $1.00 a If tain. Returning, he bad lost his way. and the mist had closed down around him. Wandering hither nnd thither, he had missed bis footing at last, and fallen over the precipice. Dow-, dt wn, brui - ing against projecting crags, until he clutched the branches of a scraggy pine tree, which bad found root in a crevice and grew horizontally from it, thus sav ing him from the certain death which would have met him below. He was clinging there still to the frail support, which bent and swayed beneath his weight, but he was chilled and numbed by the mist, and felt that he could not much longer retain bis hold. This mnch Bretta learned, and, calling out her as suranoo of speedy niii, Had awuy up the mountain path to her home. Soon the young girl was bark with ber ropeS, which she securtly fastened and threw down to him. With renewed hope be gaine new strength, and following Brctta's directions, climbed slowly, rest. log whenever he could find a foot-hold snd ere long he stood with her upon the ledge. Iter strong yonng arm uided him np the pathway, nnd the cottage reached, he sank d iwn weak aud trembling, nil of his overtaxed strength gone for tbe time. It was da) s beloru be was well enough to leave, nnd meantime ke won upon Bret ta's confidence nntil she tola him of the Spirit of the Mist which bad appeared to her. He made her promise to take him lo the place. &ud when he was well ntsfn they wont thera together. Only the mist hung iu thick darkness about the spot; thb spectral figure did not appear. 'Jit will not come," Bretta said, when t'jey had waited. She was scarcely dis appoint!) 1, alter having looked for it in vain sn many times before, "Ah," tbe gentleman replied, "if it is what I think, you will see it only when the moon is full."' Afterward, when he was gone, BretLt remembered his words and proved them true. Any night that she visited the ledge when the moon was full and the mist gathered there she would behold the spir it, bnt at no other time was it visible. Time sped awny, and Bretta no longer lived in tbe thatched cottage upon the mountain. Good Dame Breitmann was laid beside her dour ones iu the church- yard.aud tbe gsntieman whom the moun tain maid had rescuod.and who had since kindly interested himself in her welfare, took Bretta to bis home, to be educated and provided for with his owu daughters. But one thing which Brcttn's studies might have taught ber sbo would never believe. It wss regarding nn optical il lusion produced by certain degrees of light and density of air, and which rx plained the figure she bad seen as nolh ing more or less than her own shadow thrown against the mist. But Bretta went on believing iu the spirit to the la.il A CA8E OF CHARITY. One of Detriot's millionaires was walk ing homeward yesterday, wheu he met a lame man with a greasy paper in bis hand. As tbe pair came to a bait, the lamo man asked "Will you do mo the favor to read this paper?" "Can't do it left my eye-glasses at home," was tbe reply. "Then let mo state the contents of it lo you." "No use no use. I'm so deaf that I couldu't catch more than oue word out of three." "I am a poor man with a wooden leg, sir." "Yes I see I see. Lots of poor men have wooden "legs. You are lucky, sir, and I congratulate you. Must have cost you fifty dollars, and I presume it is a nice leg." "If you have any old clothes, sir?" "Yes, but I haven't." "Or old boots?-' "I am wearing my old boots, yon see. You ard just six months too early to get 'em." "I haven't had a meal since yesterday morning." 'Nor I either. We ore cleaning the bouse, aud for the last three days I have had to cat a cold lunch off tbe piano." "Then you couldn't spare a nickle?" "How can I ? Ain't I walking home because I haven't tbe money to ride on tbe car?'' "Is that so? Then we are both bard np?' ' Of course wo are." . "And being you're tho worst off here's a cold sarsage I got at tbe bouse below, nnd here's nickle to ride on the car. tell you, sir, us poor folks hat got to have more pity for tbo rich, and do better by 'em, or we'll all go to the poor bouse to getber."

Quartz, chlorite, pyrite and hematite have recently been discovered in dia monds, and small crystals of topaz have also ben seen. l'aul Marcoy has described a b-af of tbe giant water lllly (Victoria regia) found in Lake Nnna, Fern, as measur ing 21 feet, 9J Inches in circumference, and weighing between 13 and 14 pounds Ouo of tbo flowers was t teet 2 inches in circumference, and weighed 3 pounds. The outer pelnli were 9 iucbes long. Seme valuablo relics discovered a Ninevab, in the form of fine ivory carv ings. showed slgi's of crumbling on ar rival in England. Concluding that loss of albumen was the cause of the decay, Prof. Owen boiled tbo articles. Tbe ex perimeut proved entirely tueerssiul, and tbe ivory was restored to its original firm ness and solidity. Remarkable wind pressure are ex perienced in India. On Octobers. 1661, two passenger trains,one of eight vehicles and tbe other of twelve, were, upset on the Eastern Bengal railway, all the cars oeing overturned. Several cars were started from sidings by tbe force of the wind. On September 21. 1878. a long train was traveling on the same railway at a speed of about eight miles an hour, and was brnnght to a standstill by a heavy storm nud forced back about a mile with full steam and brakes against it It was found difficult to proceed after detaobing half of the train. Instances of this kind are said to bo frequent on Indian rail ways. -Tbe great red spot on tbe planet Jn piter still attraots a large share of atten tiou from astronomical observers. This spot is of an elliptical form with taper ing ends, nnd covers a vast area, being 29,000 miles long and 8,300 broad. The mysterious appearance was first observed more tban three years ago, since which time its form seems not to have material ly altered, although the ordinary dark bands crossing Jupiter's diso are in a state of constant change. Speculations as to the nature of the red spot have been uu merous but not very satisfactory. Tbe dark lines across tbe planet are believed to be dne to atmospheric movenients.and the suggestion that the red spot is a por tiou of tbe body of tbe plautt which has in some unknown way become visible through the atmospberio envelope seems as plausible as sny offered. M. Gayon has been studying th phylloxf-ra of the French vineyards with the object of discovering.if possible,some parasitio organism which might be pro pagated and raado to destroy the phyl loxcnt. He has found such organisms, and has striven to cultivate them, but with doubtful results. He is pursuing the investigation further. The ravages of the phylloxera l ave become a source of creat loss to the vine-growers of France, and any researches promising ultimate relief from tbe pest are eagerly ciicour- It is shown by M. Paul Bert's inves tigations that green light hinders the growth of plants, which soon wither and die as if in darkness. M. Regnard finds that the plants specially require red light, and soon cease to thrive if the red rays are removed from sunlight Electrical exhibitions are likely to become epidemic. Close upon tbe Paris exhibition came a proposition to hold one at tbe Cry.tal Palace, London; and a like project is now on foot at St Peters burg. Americans' are singularly back ward in organizing such an enterprise. The probability that nearly every large town or city will soon be snpplied with large quantities of electricity for lighting purposes has given rise to con siderable interest iu tbe plan ot making use of the same supply for prodacing power for light, household work. Sever al small motors havo been dovised to meet tbe expected demand. The first of these little machines were constructed about three years ago by M. Marcel Deprez,and were found to work effectively. A sec ond apparatus of this kind has for some time been used by M. Trouve, an electro magnet being used lu place of tbe per manent steel magnets of Deprrz, This motor drives a tewing machine very readily, although it is of very small sire. Tronvu's little electrio canoe at the Paris electrical exhibition was propi-lled by some of these engines, and M. Tissandler has suggested their use for balloon steer ing. The last and best motor is that of Mr. Griscom, the American electrician, One of these powerful little machines four and a half inobes long, and weigh ing little more than two pounds, will run a sewing machine very rapidly with a smsll expenditure 'of electrio energy. The lack of labor-saving conveniences in the household has often been deplored, but tbe introduction of electricity seems to offer a source of power which may serve in many ways to lighten the toll of the weary housewife.
