'It looks as If It were going to snow for weeks, Miss Elizabeth," said old Gregory, as' lie touched his hat anil hobbled down the Icy pathway as fast as rheumatism and old age would permit him. Miss. Elizabeth looked down Into the sweet old English garden, with Its tangled mass of shrubbery covered with snow, and a mist came oyer her eyes. A week! Tho slim white lingers closed tlnhtly.oyer the yellow enyclope clasped In her hand, and as she turned away from thejdoor a tear plashed down upon It. Ia just one week the mortgage would be foreclosed, the letter said, and unless the amount could be raUed In tho meanwhile, tho dear old house where she was botn must-pass into the hands of strangers. The Investments that her nephew made for her all proved failures, and when, five yearsago, ho had come bustling up from London and told her that this mortgage Would save her fortune, she sigued her name to the paper, and, for a while all seetnod well. now foolish she had been! Why had she not asked more about It? Ralph Mor gan had paid the interest for her as it camo due, until two years ago, when she received a short letter from him, and he had de cided to go to Australia. That was all. Miss Elizabeth had seen very little of him. Ho was tho only child of her sister, who was many years older. When the father died, tho property was divided between tho sisters. Margaret took her share In money, and went, with her husband, to live In London, where she diod soon after. Elizabeth had never left the old home stead, and, with proper management, thero would nover haye been any need to do so; hut now she had mado another mistake. The old clock was ticking loudly in the great wide hall as she slowly went up the stairs to tho pleasant room where sho had spent her lifetime. I am always making mistakes," she moaned drearily, as sho threw herself on the little white bed. "Sixteen years ago to-day I mado one, and now I have mado another." Thero were no tears now In the daik gray eyes, only a tired look that strangers would wonder at; for If ever a woman was envied In that llttlo village, Elizabeth liar court was. "She has everything one could wish for," the poor folks said, "but she Is so good with It all." now could they know of the business worries, and the pinching economy, and the aching heart, that the sweet, calm face never showed? Elizabeth Ilarcourt was a proud woman, and, In tho years gone by, had been a hasty one; and now, in Uie quiet of her room, her thoughts went back to long ago, when, In her hot temper, sho told Jack Itainsford she neyer wished to see his face again. How could he know that in the mornlne she would have given worlds to unsay tho words? It had started, like most quarrels, with such a little thing! But ho had taken her at her word, and he had sailed for India, and she had never seen him since. Sho did not think he would stay away, but, in the meanwhile, no ono should over know that she cared at all; so the laughed and talked more blithely than eyer, and grow prettier every day, until tycry one said she never had cared for liltu; and, away off In hot Calcutta, Jack Itainsford heard It, and his heart grow hard and bitter, A year went by and he did not come back; then she promised to marry Fhilip Dlnsmorc. After that slie was caver than ever, until when tho wedding day was lixed, and the ylllaijors talking of tho grand match, she broke It off with him. Nobody eyer inew why, except Philip Dlnsuiore. If lie had been less grand and noblo than he was sho might haye married him; but looking Into those pure eyes of his, she could not take a lio on her Hps. So she told liltu with bitter tears how tho face of her absent lover came between her and any one else. llravo rhtltp Dinsmore I As ho listened, whiter and whiter grew his face; but when sho had finished, he stooped and kissed the sweet red lips for the last time. In all the world he knew lio would neyer love another woman as ho loved Beth Ilarcourt, and It ' was a grander loye than she had before. J "1 am going to India on business next month, Beth," he wrote to lw afterward, "and, If I can, I wilj flud Jack Uljford " thocalc So he sailed away and tho ship was lost, nnd Philip Dlnsmorc ncvor reached Jack Itainsford, Alter that Elizabeth Ilarcourt was never tho same; and as the years rolled on, she was left alono with her servants In the old stone house. Somebody said that Mr. Iialnsfonl married tho daughter of a rich merchant, but ho nover camo back. Some thing had gono from her life with each year, aud now, al forty, tho very last thing had come, and tho old home was to go. No wonder, on that early winter morn ing Elizabeth Ilarcourt was In dcspairl She httd had so much to bear. From tho Ignhtthat Jack Itainsford left her in anger sho had never really been happy again. That hot temper her mother had warned her against ah lit had been cooled slnco then, No one who saw her bending quietly over tho sick bed In tho poorest cottage, would guess that beneath that calm face there had ever been anything but peace. Now she lay with wide open oyes, think ing of tho past, and in her ears were ring ing old Nurso Blackltt's words of her: "She will take an awful sito cf soberin'." Just then there came a knock at the door and Elspeth's yolce. saying, "Miss Elizabeth, there Is a strange gen tleman down stairs who wishes to sec you for a few minutes. Ho looks as If ho was from London." Tho lawyer from Loudon I Miss Ilar court's heart gave a quick throb as sho arose and mechanically glanced at the little narrow glass between tho windows. Thero was a red spot burning on each check, and the brown hair had lost Its smooth, satin appearance; but she did uot.notlco that to day, but passed quickly down to the cool, dark room below. The stranger rose aud bowed as she en tered, a tall man with gray hair and a swarthy skin. "Tour letter como this moiulu," began Miss Elizabeth, nervously. "I am afraid the house will havo to go for the mort gage" "My letter?" said tip stranger. "I think thero must ho some mistake." "I bet; your pardon,"Jlss Uarcourt said, "but are you not from London?" The stranger took a step forward. "Beth," he said, "havo I changed so completely that you do.not know me?" "Jack!" sho gasped. "You cannot bo Jack Itainsford!" Such a different meeting from that which she had planned in the years gone by! In stead of passionate kisses she quietly shook hands with her. old lover, and sat down on tho chair opposite to him. A chilled disappointed look camo over tho worn, tired face of the man, and he arose and walked over to the window as ho said bitterly, "Von have hardly changed at all, but but sixteen years In India aro not likely to keep a man fresh and young especially when they are not particularly happy ones." Something lu tho tones made Elizabeth Ilarcourt's heatt thrill as in the old days j hut sho remembered that wife In India. The feverish cheeks qrew a deeper crimson but she said quietly, "Are you going to stay for any length of time in England, Mr. Itainsford? Is your wife with you?" inth a startled look he turned and faced her. "You know I never married, Beth Uar- court." ho said bitterly. "I never loved anybody but you, and you havo forgotten me." With a low cry she sprang toward htm, and the next moment was sobbing in his arms. "Jack, my darling," sho said, "I havo loved you always, and have not forgotten you for one moment all these weary years I" "If I had only known it before 1" he an swered sadly. "Sotno ono told mo you married the year after I left, and I thought It was true until one day, on board a vessel, I met a lad that pame from here. I asked him about the old place, and he told mo Miss Elizabeth Ilarcourt had nursed him through a fever when every one else was afraid to come ncarhim." Iialnsfonl stopped and sllppvd.au odd hoop of shining stones on Miss Ilarcourt's finger. "Do you know," he said, "a wild hope tilled mo, anil I bought this ring that day, and said to myself, 'It-Is for Beth, if sbo will wear it. If not I will drop it in the middle of tho ocean, and neyer look at England again.' " Elizabeth looked do-vn at the sparkling diamonds, and said with n long-drawn sljli, "Oh, Jack, and It was only this lnoruint; that I was In despair!" "Suppose you let mo see that letter from London?" he said. "I wanted to make some English investments." That night Miss Ilarcourt knelt by tho little white bed with a happy sob, like a tired child that had fouud rest at last. AUTUMN SCHOOL ARBOU DAY Wo publish tho following extract from an olllclal circular issued from the Department of Public Instruction, regarding the due and appropriate observance of Arbor Day: 'Wo call on the Schools and School au thorities, therefore, to bestir themselves In this now crusade against Ignorance, reck lessness, self lishncss, and the blind folly of procrastination and neglect. Let the grounds about all school houses be planted with shade trees, and shrubbery, and vines. Let the subject of tree-planting be discussed in evening meetings held lu the scool houses of the district. Let planting of seeds and the. transplanting of young trees; the won derful arts ot budding and grafting; the number of trees of different kinds crowing about the homes of Individual pupils and the numbers that may yet be planted there; the nurseries or other places from which trees that are desired may bo secured; the prices at which they may be had; and any other matters of practical Interest in this connectlou, that suggest themselves to tho teacher, be made to subject of school-room or class-room consideration. The State comes to the schools for help. Let thai help bo given, aud thus ln her Increased material wealth alone, tho schools will re turn to the Commonwealth year by year, vastly more than tho million and a half of dollars that have so recently been appro priated from the public treasury tor the purposes ot general education. "Therefore, to carry out rooro fully th Intent of tho ptoclamatlon of Arbor Day by nis Excellency Goycrnor Beaver, by secur ing tho united efforts of our schools a very large proportion of which . were not In session at the tlmo of trce-piantlnt; In the Spring wo hereby appoint Friday October 21st, as an Autumn School Arbor Day, and earnestly urge upon Superintendents, Teachers, and School Olllccrs throughout tho State, the propiicty of , using every ef fort to forward this Important work, em ploying such means as their good judgment may direct. We further request that they secttro a full report of work done, lit order that the record thereof may bo preserved permanently among the school ilocttmcnti of the Commonwealth." SUBJECTS F0"ltTH0UOHT. Youth looks at the possible, ago at tho probable Hope is tho only good which is common to all men, Poycrty wants sonic, luxury many, and avarice all things. Success makes us soon forget the light we mado to attain It. It's easy finding reasons why oilier people should be patient. If you assume tho garb of a fool; are you yery sure you have no't a natural right to it. There is nothing moro necessary than to know how to bear the tedious moments of life. If you wish to bo really happy, lake a good deal of outdoor exercise, and never run in.dcbt. Tho wayes of happiness, like those of light, aro colorless when unbroken. Naturo never scuds a great man Into the world without confiding the secret to an other soul. It Is one thing to have a house to llyc in and quite another thing to hayo a home to live In. Tho Ughl of true filcudshlp Is like tbo light of phosphorus seen plainest when all around is dark. Many persons entertain false views of real life, who yet havo the justcst percep tions of human nature. A writer who attempts to llyo on tho manufacture of Tils Imagination is continu ally coquetting with starvation. Beware what you say of others, becauso you only reveal yourself thereby. A man doesn't think to look behind the door un less ho lias sometimes stood there himself. He who betrays another's secret because he has quarrelled with Iiim, was never worthy of the name of friend; a breach of kindness will not justify a breach of trust, Fear small temptations rather than great pnes. These como only overy now and then; those every day. Beware of being witty at tho expense of ravcrence; sarcas' tic at the expense of charity; entertaining at the expense of truth; coarse at expense of purity. No wringing of hands and knocking the breast, or wishing one's self unborn; all of which arc hut the ceremonies of sorrow,tho pomp and ostentation of au effeinlnato grief, which speak not so much tho great' ncss of the misery as the smallncss of the mind. ilfonoy is "the best gift" which most men earnestly court, hut mouey Is a curso to Us possessor unless he has learned how to get it, how to keep it and how to use it. Money Is a means to an end; only as it passes current through tho benevolence as well as through tho through the trades aud manufactures does It yield its true Increase. In his address before tho. delegates of the Knights of Labor assemblies at Min neapolis, on Donday Mr. Powderly, says: "Man says the Knights can neyer attalu what Is alined at In their declaration of principles. Then thoy co to church and pray for better things than tho Knights ever dreamed of. Knighthood would not pave tho streets with gold. The men who pray that this earth bo made as the kingdom of heaven would deny us a place in legislative halls. These places arc not tho kingdom of heaven. Tbo mcu who make these prayers lie when they make them. They are hypo crites. Tho Kuightof Labor respect tho law and they lutend to tako a hand In making the laws.". TOO QUE AT A TEMPTATION. Sotno years ago a yery fine echo was dis covered ou an Englishman's estate. He was pioud of it, of course, and excited con sllcrable envy by Its exhibition. One of his neighbors, who ownod aii adjoining estate, felt especially chagrined, but was greatly encouraged by an Irishman, who went over the land In the hopo of discovering one somewhere. lie declared himself success ful In finding the most wonderful echo ever heard, and stood ready to unfold his secret for a large sum of money. Tho nobleman listened to the echo, and although thero was something peculiar about It, he paid themouey. An afternoon was set for his friends to come and listen to this marvel lous discover-. 'Hullo!' cried In stentorian tones the man who had found tho echo. 'Hullo 1' came back Immediately from the hillside yonder. 'How are you?' yelled one of ' the com pany, aud the wonderful echo answered, In a suspiciously different key, 'How aro you?' All went well until just beforo retiring ane of the company, putting his hands to his mouth, cried, in a loud voice, Will you have seme whiskey?' Such a question would dlscoycr the char acter of any reasonable echo. It was cer tainly too much for tbb one which had been discovered on that estate. Judge of the suiprise of the party when the answer came back, 'Thank you, sir; I will, If you please.1 The poor fellow who had been stationed at a distance to supply the echo, simply submitted to too great a temptation.
