BLACK HALT, A great storm was abroad In tho Bluo Kiilgo mountains; angry flashes cleft the gloom j thunder crashed nnd was echoed from liill.to hill, and the swollen streams dashed headlong, taking rocks nnd fallen branches in their course to the Jumes. Amid all this distracted naturo nn ob- server might have seen the two lamps of tlio Amherst stago coach gleaming like bleared eyes through tho rain, as that lumbering vehicle, drawn by a powerful span of bays, dashed along tho mountain road en route for Lexington. budilcnly a bright, young faco pecnod out of tho coach window, and a girlish volco cried; "Driver, how near aro wo to Com modore Develin's?" "Bo thar in jus' tree minutes. Miss. It's dat aro big house on tho hill yonder all ablnzo like." A moment more and they woro driv ing into tlio grounds. Again the im pudent girl essayed to look forth, but receiving a cold dab on tho cheek from tho wet leaves, sho fell back imuationtlv and listened to tho heavy, wet boughs, as they brushed tho top and Bides of the coach. Suddpnly tho stago stopped, old Nico- demus jumped down in the mud, with a lantern in ono hand, and ' flinging open tho door with a flourish, said loud enough to wako the soven sleepers, "Uoitiauoro Uivilins, Missr There wero only two sleepers within. however, but they opened their scared eyes wide enough for soven, half expect ing to seo n highwayman, but, being re assured by Nicodemus' -bobbing wool head nnd smiling black face, they laid n contented hand on their pocketbooksand hauo farewell to tho young ladv. who quickly leaped into the mud, and, pick ing up her ures3, ran up the broad steps.i Nicodemus followed with her trunk, and taking tho quaint brass knocker, repre senting a coiled serpent, in his hand, gave a long, loud knock, which echoed far and near. There was a sound of feet running to the door it opened lights dazzled the young traveler; and, amid silvery laugh ter and exclamations of delight, sho was clasped in the arms of her old school mate, Lena Develin. "Tlio north and south have met." said tho commodoro, and tho little traveler turned to behold a superb looking old gentleman, with a long, silvery beard, whito hair and fine, dark oyes, who held out a warm hand, saying: "Welcome to Black Hall, Miss Grace." i "Bring-JIiss nownrd in to tho-Cre," said Airs. Develin, appearing in tho parlof uoor. Although Graco had never beforo met her friend's family, their warm greeting mado her feel very unceremonious; so she ran with a smiling faco to meet Lena's sweet, dove faced, little mother, who ad vanced, radiant In welcoming Biniles. Just then Lena's brother Bob opened tho front door. Ho was a quiet looking fellow, witli mischievous brown eyes, who, when introduced, bowed shyly, blushed a trifle, and strode on to tho din ing room, shaking tho rain from bis slouch hat. 'Now como to my room and set on drv clothes," said Lena. "You look wet and cold," and sho led Graco up tho broad staircase. "Jesse," addressing a colored man, "bring up Miss Howard's trunk." Everything was now and strango to Grace; the dark, wido halls, tlio colored servants, who peeped at her curiously, and lastly, Lena's room, with its dark, paneled walls, heavily curtained win dows and bed, nnd tho great wood fire on tho hearth. "Oh, how lovely!" exclaimed she, throwing herself into an easy chair, but on second thought springing up to cavess her friend. "You dear darling, I haven't seen you for six months." "And I'vo been shut up hero nil that timo," replied Lena, who was a tall, quiet blonde. "Well, now, I should really havo en joyed that," Graco replied, tossing her damp wrappings over tho back of a chair, "because I ndoro old houses, nnd trees, and romance, and ghosts. Oh! havo you any ghosts here?" "Well, yes, wo havo what they call a haunted room in tho rear part of the house, but uono of us over slept thcro or saw tlio ghost. "Oh, do tell mo about it. Is there a story connected with it?" "les, quito a little romance. Just drop into that chair close to the flro and I'll tell you tho story." Then, taking Grace's hand, sho begam "iears ami years ago, Grace, my great-great-great-grandfathcr, who was an artist, came over from England and settled in this house with his brido, a very young nnd beautiful girl, who had been hastily married to him by her fntn cr to prevent a match between herself and a young Lord Somebody who was her father a enemy. "This hard hearted relative of mine married her pgainst her wishes, and then carried her away, almost broken hearted, to a strango country, and into tms gloomy old house. Ilo was double her ago, and jealous us he could bo of her former lover, whom ho thought was separated from her forever. But it wasn't bo, Grace. That young Lord Somebody sworo that ho would rescuo her yet, if ho had to murder her hus band so ho started nt once for America, whero ho spent a long time in vain search for his lost love. "lie must have been awtui plucky," interrupted uraco, with dilated pupils, "Oh, yes, ho was but listen. One day Camilla that was my great-great- great-grandinother, you know was weeping in tho summer house, when she suddenly looked up and beheld her old lover standing in tho doorway. Sho vas overwhelmed with joy, and con fessed that sho was wretched with hor husband; and I supposo there occurred quite a littlo love scene, for her husband, overhearing the affair, rushed in, plunged his dagger in the young lord's heart, nnd carried Camilla fainting to her room, whero he fluiiif her on tho bed, Live and Let Live;' nnaiocuing tijo uoor, aepartca. wnen he'retttrncd It wns to find her dead. She had taken her lifo with her own little dagger." "Oh I" gasped Grnco; "and what then?" "Then? Why, he went insano, of course, although people didn't suspect it .for sonio time, and, being nn artist, painted her picture, which now hangs f0n tho wall of tho haunted room." ' "Oh, do show it to mcl" exclaimed jOraco, springing upj and Lena took the jlight nnd led tho wuy to tho unhappy brido's apartment. "Wo never Use it; it hasn't been slept 'In for years," said Lena, opening the Woor, "it is furnished just as it wns when jtlio tragedy occurred. They call her the Lady of Black Hall." ' Graco shivered as sho entered tlio great cold chamber nnd glanced nt tho massive mahogany bedslead.with its damask cur ,'tains, brought over from England years tmd years ago. Everything wits cheer less, gralntjuid time worn. "This is the picture," safd Lena, hold ing the candlo nbovo their heads; and Graco taw beforo her tho full length pic ture of a young nnd beautiful girl.within ..whoso great black eyes thero shono an expression of intenso horror as sho seemed about to plunge a tiny dagger within her breast; her faco was deadly white, her lips bloodless, her black hair unbound nnd falling far below tho waist of her white dress. "Horrible!" exclaimed Grace. "Noono but a madman would havo painted the contemplated suicido of his. wife, and dwelt so on tho horror sho felt in com mitting tho deed. But Lena," sho con tinued, after a pause, in which thoy heard only tho wailing of the wind in tho blanches without, "you don't believe that she hnunts this place?" "Of course not," aud Lena's sweet lips curled. "Well, then, do plcaso sleep hero to night and find out for certain," pleaded tho other. And so it was nrranged, and old "mammy built n great iiro on tlio long deserted hearth, and tho commodore and his wife laughed nt their girlish freak, nnd bashful Bob essayed ono long, curi ous look nt tho perpetrator of such a wild scheiuo, and at 10 precisely the household retired. Grnco locked tho door nnd looked un der tho bed, in tho closet, in the empty bureau drawers and tho match safe, vases nnd wash pitcher beforo jumping into bod, to be sure that no ghosts wero beings harbored on tho premises; and then, kissing caclt other good night, theso two girls feel into n sweet, tranquil sleep. How lung they had slept neitjierknew, when suddenly both pairs of oyes flashed open simultaneously and they wero wide awake. Tho storm had gono down and tho moon shono brightly, jind there, standing in tho moonlight near tho win dow, was it woman in white, with long, trailing, black hair. Neither girl scream ed, but Lena clasped her friend's hand convulsively, and tho latter returned it with a steady, firm, warm pressure, which said as plain as word, "Perfectly quiet." Then tho figure turned, and, fixing her mournful black eyes on the occupants of tint bed, which fortunately btood in thu shadow, sho raised ono hand'disclos ing a gleaming dagger. At this Lena nhnost screamed, but Graco's little iron hand heeined holding her back, aud she lay trembling, whito and motionless, in tho back part of tho bed. "I nover heard of a ghost labting so long," thought Grace. Then the woman walked to tho window. Light as a feath er Graco slid on to tho floor, nnd, ap proaching tho figure, caught her long, black hair in ono hand. Off came a massivo wig; tho creature turned with an exclamation of "By thunder!" and bahhful Bob, giving one'nonplussedlook, fled through tho door, which ho had opened with n skeleton koy. M.

It is a trite saying that "tho undovout astronomer is mad.-" No right minded person can look unmoved upon the sub lirno revelations of this noble science without being uplifted; without recog nizing in what he sees tho hand of an all wisQ Creator; without experiencing n wholesome feeling of tho utter insignifi cance of himself and tho race to which lie belongs.

A young man in Hanford, Cal., called upon a barber and had his hair cut. As usual tho barber applied some oil to tho young man's hair. Tiio young man re tired to his blankets that night, but about S o'clock in tho morning ho awoke with the feeling tliat bouio one was try ing to saw tho top of his cranium off.

Illustrating tho changes which French names suiter in this country, Tho Buffalo Commercial says that perhaps no aristo cratic French namo ever suffered more from foreign usage than that of tho early resident nnd benefactor of Buffalo, Louis Lo Coulteuix, marquis de Caumont. This gentleman is known in this vicinity as"Look-a-too"or"Licky-too." It must be admitted that tho name is a pretty tough one for Americans tq wrestle with, Mlnuto and interesting experiments tiave lately been made proving tho popular Idea that the sensitiveness of tha retina dimin ishes outward to tho periphery, to be Incor rect.

THE STREET SINGER.- Of all the days that's In the week, I dearly lo o but ono day, . And that's the day that comes betwixt A Saturday and Monday. It was an old, old song. But the voico that sang it wasn't old by any means. It wns freBh and clear nnd sweet and strong. And it came ringing out from tho dirty, foul-smelling alley, reminding ono of a timo when I heard a bird song como floating, up from tho dark hold of a ship. Down tho street, as if lid wero in n great hurry to get somewhere, came Professor Halo, tho man who taught tho children of tho rich people uptown how to sing. Ho looked tired and worried as if tho harmony of tho day had jangled all out of tuno. All at onco ho, too, heard tho voico, and now it was Binging; TIs then 1 dress up In my best, And walk out with my Sally; Sho la tho darling of my heart, And sho lives down lu our alley. Tlio grave professor seemed suddenly to forget his hurry. Ho Btopped stock still. "By jovo! What n voice!" lie ejacu lated, as tho tone sank to n plaintive, vibrating minor that thrilled through tho murky ntmosphero llko tt burst of sunshine. And then he went In pursuit of tho voice. In .a two wheeled huckster's cart, which had been disabled and deserted, stood n littlo girl about I) years old. Sho had on n red calico dress." It was pretty dirty, but apparently tho littlo girl thought sho was dressed up. Sho had washed her face back as far as her ears, so that ho could seo that sho was very pretty. Her Bkin was iv clear oli ve. Her eyes wero big and bright and brown. Her iiair was almost the color of mahogany and hung In thick, tangled curls down below her waist. Sho woro no stockings, but on her feet was a pair of bluo satin boots, with tassels nt tho top, and littlo pointed heels, such as the chorus girls in the opera wear. Sho was standing with her head thrown back, her littlo hands clasped tightly across her chest, singing with all her might. Around her wero grouped about a dozen littlo gamins of tho alley, who, if not appreciative listeners, wero very enthusiastic ones. When the professor appeared the en tertainment stopped and the littlo singer looked as Bliy and as confused aa if sho had been caught doing something naughty. But the professor did not notice her confusion. Ho pushed his way right through the dirty, sticky little group and up to. tho side of tho cart. "What is vour nniiifi?"' lu naW.,! .,,.. Ty, "and whero do you live?" hhyly twisting her fingers, into tho folds of her red skirt, tho little girl an swered, in n confused way: "My name is Alice Flynn, nnd I livo down there," nodding her head toward n basement near. "Who taught you to sing?" "Nobody. I always knowed how," answered tlio littlo one, with a side look at her companions. "Whom do you llvo with?"' was tho pro-1 fessor's noxt question. "Gran'ma," answered Alice. "Will you take me to see your grand mother?" asked the professor, suddenly. Instead of answering him Alico looked at Iier nudienco nnd giggled. Professor Halo evidently know how to gain his point,.for, taking n silver coin from his pocket, ho Bald: "I'll give you this if you'll take me to your grandmother. Will you go now?" "Oil, won't I, justl" exclaimed Alice, and bIio scrambled over the wheel of the cart. "Come right this way." Tlio professor gingerly picked his way down the dirty steps into tlio dingy cellar which Alico called home. Sitting in an old rocking chair, smoking a rank smelling pipe, was a vory old woman. Sho was bo nearly blind that sho didn't notice at first that Alice had company. Sho heard tho footsteps, and began: "I think it's timo yo was a-gettin' homo, you good-for-nothin' littlo trollop. An' if yo ain't brought the price o' a sup o' tay and a bit o' bacon it will bo th' worse for ye." "I've brought a gentleman with me," said Alice. "He wanted to come and see you, and here's a quarter for your tea and bacon. Ho givo it to mo for bring in' hiuj." Tlio old woman lifted her shaking head and looked nt tho professor with watery, bloodshot eyes. Tho professor didn't waste any words. "Madam," ho said, "this little girl has a wonderful voice. I want to take her home and teach her to sing. Aro you willing that sho should go?" "And what would I bo doin' widout her?" whined tho old woman. "And me wi' the rheumatiz that bad I can't be puttin' mo foot to the floor." "Well," said tho professor, "here's n 53 bill that I'll givo you. And I'll send you that amount each week if you will let me havo tho littlo girl." The old woman hesitated a little at first, thinking tliat perhaps the profes sor would increase his oirer. But when she saw that lie had no such intention she accepted eagerly enough. And then the gentleman took Alico by the "hand and led her away, while tho grandmother sat mumbling over tho crisp new green back, without so much as giving her a word of farewell, Alice began to bo frightened. She commenced to cry and kept on crying, even when tho car stopped and the pro fessor led her up to tho front of a beau tiful houso looking right oif on the park. She still cried and begged him to let her go buck to her miserable alley and her wretched old grandmother. She didn't feel any better when she got in side of the hall and stood on the soft carpet among the pretty lightsome flow ers. You sen sho wasn't used to it. Tlio professor stepped to the foot of tho stairs and called: "Come down hero, Kitty. I want you." And Kitty came, a beautiful little yellow haired fairy, all in ribbons nnd lace, who cried, as she ran downstairs: "Oil, iapa, whero did you get that little girl?" "I found her down in our alley," an swered the professor, with a twinkle in his eyo. "How do you do, little girl?" said Kitty. "What pretty hair you've got; and, oh myl what lovelv hoots! Where did you get them?" Alico was all right now. Sho wasn't afraid any moro and she answered very promptly aud confidentially. "I bought 'em of tho ragman for fi cent, and I got this dress from the rag man, too. Ain't it a daisy?" In a very fow minutes the little girls $1.28 when not paid in Advance. Singlo Copies 5 Cents wero cnattttig away as ir tnoy niiu known each other nlwnvs. And then Professor Halo told l is daughter to go onu can her nttrso. When Bho appeared ho Bald; "Mary, you may take this littlo girl upstairs and givo her a bath, and dress her in some of Miss Kitty's clothes, To morrow you may go out and seo about getting her some clothes of her own. and rou may fix tip tho littlo room next to yours for hor to sleep in. Sho is going to stay yum us tor a While. , It was night in tho gay city of Paris, and tlio grand opera house was nil ablazo with a thousand lights. Up and down through tho gilded foyer gay couples were walking, and as they walked they talked of tho young girl who was to sing that night. "They Bay sho is very beautiful." said one, "aud that she sings like all the birds in the forest." "She's young," saldanother. "onlv in. tho bills say. And yet she has studied under all tho masters, and they pro nounced her wonderful," I ani sure you havo guessed by this umo mat tne singer was no other than our little girl of tho alloy. Alico Flvnn. It was n daring thine to brinir her nut In tho gay capital beforo all tho critics, but Professor Halo was a man. who1 dared. Ho proved that when ho first took chnrgo ui ince. At last it was time" for her to nnnenr. Sho came forward almost as timidly as bho ursc eiuereu tno great house pn Fifty-ninth Btreet in Now York. Tlio hundreds of people, tho dazzling lights, tlio sudden burst of applauso nnd the hush of expectation which followed it wero nil so confusing that Alico was bewildered. Her ilrst impulse was to turn nnd run. but then sho remembered what Professor llalo had said to her: "I am looking forward to the greatest triumph of my lifo to-night.' You must not disappoint mo. He wns standing in tho flies now, breathlessly watching hor, and Alico said to herself, desperately, "I must not fail." And sho did not. Her voico tremldcl a little at first, and the people began to iuui ui eacn other signilicantly. And then But who could describe that song? When sho ceased tho great audience sat silent and in tears. Then from a thousand lips came the "Bravo! bravo! Call her back! Encore! encore!" When Alico came forward tho second time sho found herself? confronted by a barricade of roses, which her enthusias tic audience had piled in front of the footlights. Sho never know what made her do it. Sho hadn't thought of iho old song for. years. But it came to lier now, and without any assistance from the orches tra bIio sang: Of all tho days that's In (ho week, I dearly lovo but ono day, . And that's tho day that comes botwlxt A Saturday and Monday. The air was still quivering with the homely pathos of her pathetic minor koy when from the pit thero came n startled cry of "FIrol Tho wings aro on fire!" Of courso thero was n stampede. Some one sprang from tho right of tho stage and seized Alico's arm. nComo this way. There's, a solid wall of firo on tlio other side. It started in tho green room and crept around to the stage." "But Mr. Halo is there," said Alice, fearfully. "Well, he'll havo to stay thero, then," said the man, "for nobody can get at him now." Ho still attempted to drag Alico away. "Butsomo ono must got nt him. 1 will not go and leavo him hero." "I toll you it is madness," cried the man. "It's sure death to go near that side." "Then I'll stay and die with him," said Alice, firmly. Then, with a presence of mind that was wonderful, sho ran to tho dressing room, seized a long woolen cloak, on which she emptied tlio contents of the silver ico pitcher, nnd wrapping herself in it, sho plunged bt might through the wall of flro. Mr. Halo .was not where sho thought. Sho ran about through the stilling smoke, but could not find him. The man who tried to hold her back btood in tho center of the stage, dazed. Sonio ono ran up and seized him by tho shoulders, asking in a frightened voice: "Whero is Bhe? Whero is Alico?" It was Professor Halo. Ho had escaped from the other side. Dumb witli astonishment and terror, tho man pointed toward tho flies, which wero now njuass of flame. "Why did you let her go in there?" "She thougjit you were thero and she went to save you," was tho answer. The professor, lieforo tho othor could prevent him, sprang if) after lier. An instant later ho dragged her out on tho slage. Streams of water began to play over tho flames, and soon tho two men were ablo to raako their way out to tho street, carrying Alico between them. In splto of tho long cloak the lire had dealt cruelly with her. For several min utes sho sliowcd no Bign of life. Then sho ojioned her eyes and made an effort to lift her head, Tho professor raised her tenderly up in his linns. Sho Icoked 'into his eyes pleadingly for a moment and thenn mist seemed to gather. Sho lifted her right hand with a pathetic little gesture and faintly, tremulously, but sweet and plain tive as over camo tho strain: "And she Uvea down In our allev." That was all.
