HomaiVr Jonrnttt. THE LOSTjPE&ROOM. In a ragged and mountainous district of Wales is situated it mining villnge.not ed for this little story which tho miners tell to their children. Years neo in tho littlo village'of there was an bumble lint neatly-kept cot tage, where an old miner dwelt with his wife nnd only child a son. And Alick was but a young boy when he first des cended into the mines with his father. One evening, as the old miner "was re turning homo from aneighboriug village, his attention wns attracted by a little girl. She was weeping liitterly. A few broken, almost inarticulate words told that she had been d.eertcd by her moth er. The child, wcury and hungry, hud cried Itself to Bleep, aud while she was sleeping, tho unnatural parent had for saken her. 1 The old man was touched by tho in cident. Raising her tenderly iu his arms, he wenned his way homeward. Entering the cottage he placed the light burden iu his wi e's lap, saying : God In his wisdom has seen fit to chooso onr home from all the other homes in the villago to blulter this de serted child. Knowing your kind heart, wife, I did not fear to brine the little ono to you." The dame pressed the good man's baud affectionately iu reply, and Amy for so the child was culled was soon seated befori' a simple rep ist. Alick, on his return from the parish school, welcomed the little girl with every expression of pleasure. Years passed away and Amy's child hood dtys wero spent. Without great claims to beauty, there was, nevertheless, a chnrm ubout her which all recoguizad. Tho miner and his wife wero not sur prised wheu Alick ono day asked them for their conseut to make Amy his wife, and to this request they accorded their heartfelt blessing. The day for tho rustio nuptials wns nanisil, nud wus looked lorward to as nu occisionofgeucr.il njniclug. Tho hap py day arrived, work was suspended that all might jiiu iu the merry-making, Taking the baud of the trembling girl within his own, Alick, according to the long-established custom of the village, led the way to the littlo vine-covered church, where the parish priest blessed their lore. Children strewed flowers by tho way-side and saug gay songs. Each guest had made a modest offering, but to uono would Alick confide the nature of his gift, wishing, as he did, to excite au agreeable surprise. When they had returned to the cottage Alick kissed his wife.tellingher ho won'd learo her but for a short beason. He left the house, and, with one last, tin geriug look at the doorway where Amy stood waving a merry ndieu, he hurried off in the direction of the old miues, atd a carve in the road soon hid him from view. As his lithe figure disappeared Amv ntlpriiil n fafnt uloli- mmnMitivri nf n dull foroboding evil or the fullness of her mirthful joy. Days passed, and search bad been made everywhere. Weeks passed; then months. But the bridegroom did not return. Nor could his absence aud strange disappear ance be accounted for. No cle-w was gained by those who searched untiring ly. At length hope was abandoned. The widowed bride clung tenaciously to ono idea, which seemed almost like a folly, in life or death, she would see her husband again before she was called away from earth. This belief afforded her comfort, and the neighbors, while they did not share the eouvietion, humored her in the thought, aud spoke regrettully of the sad changes that sorrow had wrought in her fresh young face. Forty years were gone, aud but for the Bid, wistful face of old Amy, nud the whispered stories ef the peasantry, the unaccountable disappearance of Atick would have been forgotten. But the tale told in an under breath by many a hearth was, that Alick bad been carried off by an evil spirit, with whom he had held compact. Many even went so far as to say that bis soul hauntod the old cottage, and bad been seen' daring stormy night j Live and Let Live." PA., SATURDAY, DEOEMBBR 1(5, 1882. in the mountains. Amy indeed asserted that she often hoard his voice calling her, and tho light that burned always from nightfall until dawn in her casement told that her heart ever kept vigil over his fate. The old cotlngo still continued to be thought haunted by ghostly visitors.r-.nd because of this superstition uono would occupy it. It gradually fell into decay. The women of tho village rarely pass ed tho dend miner's houso without offer- lug a prayer for the restlcts soul. The old miues having been worked, it was at length determined that new exca. vatious should ba opened. Amid the opcnitions n subterraneous murmur was heard mingling with the sound of the pike. Suddenly n wailing cry rent the air, nud the earth seemed tu tremble. Those aboyo rushed iu terror to the mouth of the pit, nud the mojt fearless were about to descend, when the cull-bell was rung violently. Every rope was nt once put Iu use, while tho miners were white nud trembling with inteuso fear. To every inquiry made they accorded the most disconnected replies, such as 'a man," "a demou," "u miracle!" At length from ono old man they garnered that they had worked steadily tj open communication between the new nnd the old mine, but rinding only n smnll ob struction at last n sturdy blow was made and the dividing wall bad giren way; that when the cloud of dust had passed from before their astonished eves they saw n young mnu; that he wns lying up on a rocky bed; beseemed to be sleeping; that his cheeks looked fresh nnd fair.nud that his lips were slill red. Instead of approaching him they had fled in fright, filled with the belief that Jt was an evil spirit iu human gsisu they had beheld. Tho owner of the mine listened atlou- tirely. As tho old mnu ceased he rushed forward exclaiming: "To the miue! To the mine!" Soon the truth wus known. Ere mnuy minutes threo miners issued forth, bearing between them the body of theyomuj man. With a feeling of irre pressible herror they laid him down upon the greeu'swnrd. His clothes were old, and indicated a style worn years and years ago; nil were, howerer, inn perfect state of preservation. He seemed dress ed as though for a fete, Iu his hand he held a brq. It contaiuod u gold croi-p, chaiu and medallion. Time hud bluck ened these little pledges which thestrnng er bad doubtless intended for some vil lage maiden. They were about to raise the body and bear it away for burial, wheu old Amy was seen approaching. They made way for her, nnd thoso near at band were struck by the singu lar expression of her face. Her eyes sparkled with new life, nnd lur steps, usually so feeble, seemed almost to have gained the elasticity of youth. Waviug them aside with an imposing diguity. she advanced directly toward tho dead man. Kneeling, she parted tbo dark hair on bis brow and murmured, in a tone of inexpressible love and tender ness, his name "Alick!" At once all wns clear. In tin instant the old people present recognized the companion of their youth. Again the spoko . "Alick, filcud of my childhood, my husband, I knew that we would meet again on earth." As sho ceased speaking, her head drooped lower and lower, until it sank upon his breast, as if in prayer. At length th young men advanced to remove the body. Gently the women raised tho fignro of the forloru woniau. Seeing that she made no resistance, they beut orer her, nnd found tbnt she, too, was dead. Her long, loring vigil was at au end. The Rame grave holds them both, nnd many a sweet flower is laid upon it in remembrance of their fate. while the legend of their love is often re counted in the humble homes of tbo poor. ' RAPID TRANSIT. Uncle Mnse owns several small shan ties on Galveston avenue, which he rents out, but one of the tenants is rather slow iu coming up with his rent, so old Mose had to make him a pastoral visit. Just ns ho was ooming from the house, Old Mose met Jim Webster. "Jim," said the old man, "which am de fastest trabbler you ebber hcered tell about?'1 "Deysaydat de ray of light trabbles more den 200,000 miles a second, but I uebber timed it myself," replied Jim. "Bar's a man in Galveston what can git de ray ob light fifty yards start and beat it tbo wust kind." "G'way, ole man. Lyin' Is ketching and I hain't been vaccinated since do wah."

The "Stuck lteport" inquires the mean ing of the word "bonanza." It is a Span iih nautical term, meaning primarily a fair and hence n favoring wind, but is employed by the Mexican miners to des ignate the period when they are iu good ore, or iu bonanza, in contradistinction to in borasoi, or poor ground. It has been borrowed by our miners and given a more comprehensive significance, and, like many other words taken from for eign languages, baa come Into popular nse to designate in a vacuo and general way any big' thing or lacky stroke of ioriuns, $1.00 FETTEEED BY FATE.

THE If ENEY V. KISS. WHr MISS CAJlLYON TnOVUIIT TltEUH WAS TOO MUCH PASSION IN 'TAFSI3N SLAVE." "Do you know a hy Miss Carlyon left tho John A. Steveub Company, which has just closed nt the People's?" asked a play-actor mau of a "Post-Dispatch" re porter this morning. No." Well, it was owing to the way iu which Mr. Stevens insisted on kissing her in 'Passion's Slave.' Miss Carlyon's husband, Mr. Melville, is exceedingly jeslous, and he insisted that hereafter his wife should be kissed nn the cur or behind it, instead of on the lips, nnd out of this fuss the trouble began which end ed in the division of the company." Miss Carlyon, whose name off the stae is Mrs. Melville, was found at the South ern HoUl. Sho is n particularly pretty little lady, with tho goldtbt of golden hair, dull; eyebrows aud n sbille that would melt wax. Likowiso she observes the Biblical maxim: "If your foot is pretty, show it." "Of course I have left Mr. Stevens," said she, "hnt it wns because I did not like bim or that exceedingly flat melo drama, 'Passion Slave.' " "And then it was not n question of kissing?1 "I must admit that I did not liko the way hekissed me. You see, Mr. Stevens always used the 'Henry V kiss, and it was ueciueuiy uupleasaut, ns he wns neither a husband, a relation or A lover, "That is a kiss that has not reached us vel?" "Oh, it's the kits that Itignold uses in Henry V.' As he does it it is not bo bad, but Mr. Stevens is not the actor that Iiigroldis aud the consequence is that every time he uses the kiss the whole house titters und there is a suggestion of iudellcncy about it that is very nnnoy. iug. Nuw, don't imagine that I am a prude, for I am not. I delight in love scenes on the stage, but there is art and there is awkwardness." "What is the 'Henry V,' kiss?1 'Well,' sho blushed und laughed, 'what we call the Henry V. kiss iu Eng land is this: Tho geutlentau ccmes be hind where Ihelady is standing and puts both his hands over her shoulders ou her cheeks, so tint the Sneers of both nieit juit beneath her chin, Tbeu be pulls Uor bead back to bis shoulder and kisses h-r for lully two miuutes.

It is state etiquette that no gentlemen should kiss a lady on the lips. Mr. Slerens has violated this rule orer aud orer again," "Did your hnsband tell Stevens that be must kiss you on the cai?"

OUOHTTO GOTO CALIFORNIA. The harmony of u social gathering nt tho Yerger mausiou, ou Austin r.venue. was iu n manner marred by the conduct of Kosius'.io Murphy. Thtro were some elioici' tigs on tho table, nud Murphy helped himself so liberally that Mrs. Yerger, who prizes herself em her gentili ty, became exasperated. Finally, when Murphy reached for tbu figs fur tho fifth time, she remaike-d v,!th asperity. "Mr. Mnrphy,you ought Iu go tu Cali fornia to lie." "I would like tu rvry much; but then I wunl 1 miss tho rt lined culture of the Ausdiu people-." 'But jtm ought to go to California, nevertheless." "Why st?" he nked reaching out for more figs.

BEING NEIGHBOP.LY. There nre some people who seem to base friendship on "borrowing" as loug as you'will leud to them. Neighbors of that stump illustrate tho impudence that demands without consideration, and the familiarity that breeds contempt. We find the following in the New York "Mer cantile Journal: He was a small boy, with dirt ou bis uose and a faded straw hat ou his head, and feet bo long uuwashed that it was hard to tell where his toe-uails were lo. cated. He walked boldly np tbo steps, pulled tho bell, nnd wheu tho lady came to the door be said. "Say, can you leud me your telephono for n few miuutes?" "Wtiy, I can't she gasped out. "We'll bring it back iu half au hour." ' But I oau't lend it, child. Yon don't soem to kuow what n telephoue is. Who are you? "We live around the corner jnst moved in, nud wo want to be neighborly. I tried to borrow your wheelbarrow and bhovel, but your boy wouldn't lend 'em, nud our hired girl has been over to bor row tea aud sugar and couldn't get any. We kiuder thought we might borrow jour telephone or something nnd ma would bring it back nnd get a chance to see your style nnd ask you to ruu right iu with your old clothes on." It is always "put up or shut cp" with the umbrella. Itobcson ascribes bis defeat to Keif- er's speeches. Kcifcr is not so bad a fel low, after all. "I aim to tell tho truth."

A new form of phosphorus- tcruieil white phosphorus-bus been discovered by Prof. Itemsen, of the John Hopkins University. Observations on Ituisinu railway tluriug a period e-t h x month showed that soveuly-scvuii per ci lit. of Iho frac tures of tires occntred when the tctupcr- iitnro was below zro, nnd only nineteen per cent, ut a higher tcmpeir,uri. Mons. Paul Jltrt, the French phvsi. olngist, has discovered that tho blood of herbivorous nuiuml.s acclimatized nt high elevations contains n much )ur'tr pro portion of oxygen than Ihu blood of sim ilar nuimi.U living iu "regions but littlo above sea-level. Wliila bees are popularly snpposril to be affected by sounds. Sir John Lub bock's researches s! in lo show tl nt theso insects have uo power of heariug ordin ary noises. If they hair ut nil they pro bably distinguish thohiglHrpvirloncs ut the verge of or b.-youd our range of hear iug instead of low, h ud Bounds. In a re. cut paper Prof Willis De Hais stated that nil Iho mines of llio Lake Superior region give evidence ol having been woiked by u piehistoric race, and that a greater amount of labor bud been performed by tbisu nncietit miners iu it space ofle-n than two thousand acres than two thousand men could do iu twen ty piim iu our time. Prof. George L Gondalo staled in a recent lecture that u sut.llower threo feet and n half hi-jh presents an evaporutlnt; surface of thirty-nine square feet, mil that the roots of such n Minitower havo nu nggregate length or 1418 feet. Ac cording to thi-bame well-known botanist, grasses nud like plants exhale ubout their own weight of water ou n hot summer day. It has been' found by Mnus. I. B. Dumus that water saturated with alum is remarkably efficient iu extinguishing fires. This property is supposed to be duo to the coatiug it gives to objects wet with it, which prevents contact with the oxygon of tho air nud thus retards com bustion. It is reported that, na an ex periment, French firemen nro to bo quits extensively supplied with instruments for throning such bolutions of alum. Mons. Perreaux has constructed uu apparatus for rulcroscopio measure-menu which is capable of measuring one 1500th part of a millimetre. The instrument In so delicate that jt cau onlj be used at certain hours of the night when tlmjar of passing vehicles has ceased. Those not familiar with tbo metric system will get a better idea of the ininuto measuring powers of this apparatus whou itJs con sidered that it millimetre is only atout ono twenty-fifty of our inch. That great room for Improvement iu the use of gas exists is shown by Dr. C W. Sicmeus, who says: "The amount of light given out by u gas-flatue depends on tbo temperature to which the particles of solid carbon tn the flituo are raised, and Dr. Tyndnll has shown that of tho radiant energy sot up iu such a flame on ly tho tweuty.lifth part Is luminous; tho hot products of combustion carry off at least four times as much energy ns is rad iated, so that not mors than ono hun dredth purt of the best evolved iu com bustion is converted into light. This proportion could be improved, hnwever, by iucrdnsing the temperature of com bustion." Prof. Than, of tho H.tda-resth So ciely of Naturul Science, has, from ex periments, formed tho opinion (bat no risk of fire from illiituiimting gas exists so long as the j;n5 forms less thau tire per cout. of the atmosphere of a given space-; but between five nud twelve percent, it begius lo beignitable.and wheu it reach es twenly-niue p.r cent, the liability to explosion is great. A delicate apparatus used by Piof. Than cnusis nn olectrio bell to ring If ens N present eveiu though the quantity be no more than one-half of ono per cent. Another ingenious nr rnngimeiit shows ti e actual percentage epiantity of the gis, while h "coutrol- manomtte-r" reveals the place from which the gas escaped. A very faulty lightting-condnctor may sometimes protect n building. Mous. Hirn tells of snch a case which lately oc curred at Colmar. A thiu iron rod about twenty-six feet long hnd a c.iuioal brass point Bcre-wed on the top, nud was con nected below, by menus of u series pieces of thiii wire having terminal cy s wilh n block of iron about twenty Ucbes long in the ground. During a violent thunder-storm lightning melted the brm s poiut, but the current seems to havn no where Itlt tho couduclor. Mons. Hirn insists that tbo nu re fact of a lightning discburyu on the point of a conductor Is proof of very imperfect construction; as, during more than forly years of observa tion, bo ha? never seen lightulug strike one of the forty or fifty lightning rods of tho factories or Lnglbacb, although he has found tuut currents are almost con Btautly pasdug through tho rods iu the prt-seuco of thunder-storms.
