A heavy mist hung ghximily above the peaks of the Wicklow mountains, a damp chillncss pervaded the atmon phcro; piles of sullen rlomls lowered from the frowning skies and narrowed the already narrow horizon; a veil of moisture robed the meadows and dulled the clatter, up the uncaven country road, of the approach of a small band of mounted dragoons. "Halt!" "'Twjis astern, sonorous voice—a voice that would make you lift your eyes quickly and instinctively to scan the owner. It proceeded from stern, firm but handsome lips. It was en force! by keen glitter of a pair of dark gray piercing eyes; by the majesty of a free commanding form and by an air of native power entirely unaasumed. The party drew up before one of thoee pretty cottages that have so nat urally sprung up in the lieautiful wilds of Wicklow. A rustic gate stood half open and revealed a small and taste fully laid out garden with neatly kept walks, inviting the pressure of the in truders foot. A porch, half-buried in woodbine, low windows draped in soft folds of white lace, through which the uye might trace a faint impression of a pleasant interior these met the gaze of Captain Howard as he pushed wide the garden gate and strode within. The slow, irregular notes of a harp, as though the player, following a vague fancy, wandered aimlessly over the chords, arrested for a moment the ad vanee of the dragoon. With asuddrn impulse he turned backward to his men,and merely saying, "Wait till my return," he moved with measured steps to the porch and knocked. Twas strange that in the few mo ments Ist ween his summons and theap pcarance of a whitehead ed domestic the image of a sweet face he had seen and loved in another land should present itself so forcibly to his imagination; and stranger still that, as he lifted his eyes from that glance into his own hidden heart, he could almost swear the face looked at him for an instant from the diamond windows near. Slightly moved, he saluted the porter by reqm-sting to speak with the master of the house, at the same time gently insinuating he would bear him com jiany,as his business was too urgent to admit of even the delay of waiting the gentleman's permission. "Deed. then. I'm afeard he'll tic mod enough with me for letting you come in uninvited. I may say," said the old •nan, "bnt come along and nivcr wel come you," he continued under his teeth, "you Saxon hound. Son, sir, here's a gentleman soldier was in sulh a hurry to see yon he wouldn't wait for me to bring in his name." BeatM in an arm-chair, reading or pretending to read, by a checrrul fire, the person addressed looked np, laid down his ' liook, delilwrately wiped his glasses, and resuming them, surveyed his visitor. Mine Is an errand much to my dis taste, or," the dragoon lagan." My in trwskm would lie unpardonable, but that a stem duty brings me here, and i have no choice but to obey." The occupant of the arm-chair made an effort to speak, but, though his lips moved, no sound escaped them. He was a very elderly man, and very del icate looking, with a nervous twitch ing. closing and unclosing of the hand holding the spectacles. Ho motioned the dragoon to a Heat, and again looked ta his face interrogatively. Captain Howard was leas and has pleased with his mission. He was a haughty man, hut with a good and noble heart, straight-faced in out ward coldness and formality. He was an Englishman hy birth, and did not eansider himself bound in any ungrn nrotts crusade when he offerrd his ser ricea to the Government for the pur pose of qnellingthe Irish insurrection. But taking thn field and playing po- Bcmian are two different things. At Mast, so f'aptain Howard considered, and 'twas with mortification he found that the role of dragoon captain in Ire land was at the time more than half jtolice exercise. Registering an inward vow to resign his cointiiissien at the opportunity, the captain returned " the olijeet of his mission. "His place, is it not called (Hen Al- V-L The old gentleman motioned ussent. I'molding a document, the Captain continued; "The Government having had information that in this house is concealed a notorious rebel, for whose capture a large reward is offered, I am deputed to search the premises and as certain the correctness of the informa tion. Asa loyal man you are required to render all due assistance in the in vestigation." The old gentleman, rising in a stately manner, signified his willingness, and with a strange repugnance to the per formance of the duty, Captain Howard ordered from the doorway half his men to surround the house and arrest any ono attempting to escape, the remain der to enter the house and aw ait his orders. While the search progressed he stood with arms folded and gloomy brows, following mechanically from room to , room. Suddcnh his gaze fastened on a picture an oil painting of a brown i ringleted girl, with soft, hazel eyes, ( childlike in their candor and innocence, | and sweet red lips, occupying the place jof honor over tin- mantel shelf. It was the face that had haunted him for a twelve month, the face of a girl that he had met in London society, had fol j lowed ineffectually and had lo\ ed un ! reasonably. It was a face he had sud denly lost sight of, and sought hi vain until now. He learned from the old , man that it was the picture "of a re , lative" at present staying with him. | With unconceabsl anxiety tin- captain, j requested to be allowed to sec the origi \ nal ot the picture, and the old gcntle i man, humoring his visitor's strange i fancy, left the room and returned pres ently with a young lady w hose extreme pallor was highteued by her dress of deep mourning and the melancholy of her soft hazel ••yes. At sight of the stranger a faint blush dyed her check, —Captain Howard, much agitated, ad vanced. and. taking her hand eagerly, convinced itself by her recognition that his fair London acquaintance stood before him. "How came it I lost sight of you so entirdy after that brief London carni val," he said, "and how is it I 11 ml you here in this con vulsed country in this solitude?" "For the first question 1 can answer, j there is nothing more common than ! for casual acquaintances, in a strange country, to meet, part, lose -igbt of each other, unless some powerful incentive remained urging a pursuance of the acquaintance. To the second I would answer, this is my native land these are my native hills; what place more meet for my residence?" she s|>okc half eointi niptuoiisly, half detiantly. "And your brother, the dark-eyed, Qu.vti' I my. Great Hod!" he mutter ed, "it cannot be." A deadly pallor spread over the girl's face; she raised herself proudly to her full higbt and demand, "Well, sir, what cannot be ?" He silently handed her the warrant for the arrest of a dark, slender youth, name as-uuo d, win s, capture was im portant tothe gov. mm lit, and against whom there was strong information. The paper went on to-tateheh.oilmen known to lie connected, on ini|mrtunt occasions, with sonic of the most prom inent rebel leaders, and a large reward was offered for bis arrest, aliveor dead. The lady flushs! and paled as her eye ran over this document, and her agita , tion was not hist on the dragoon. With sudden resolve he said, turning to his men: "There is no necessity to sear, h fur. Twer, 1 lielievc." And despite of the evident sulkiness ami disaffection of the disappointed dragoons, he gave the orders to remount and return to Wick low'. N'or could he fail to mark the sigh of relief that es caped the lijis of the fair girl he had .sought unavnwedly to serve. He, in j courtly manner, renewed his apologies to the host; trusted for the happiness 'of meeting the lady, and, if possible, serving her; and, with a new lightness in his step and the cloud off his brow sprang into the saddle. As he did so a oud shout broke from the watch set at, the rear of the house, and the dragoons , quickly appeared, dragging with them a slight, dark-complexioned youth, whc appearance indicated the sharje ness of the struggle he had made to ! *-apo. A week afterward the jiolire annals were full of the e of the rebel eaptunsl at Glen Allen, and the sus picion attached to Howard, the dragoon captain, who was snp|iosf Glen Allen cottage uml • his fair relative prepared to join the I young outlaw of the family in his refuge at Havre. The cottage bore a . dreary aspect, all except, the garden, in which stood the fair lady to whose in lliicuce the exile owed his safety, and ! i by her side stood Captain Howard.

In convocation with a fw rnmetjp insurance journalist, the subject ot unhealthy occupations was broached, and a New York Star reporter wan in formed that thoiiHends of workmen were duily engaged in certain almost fatal trades. "There are many occupations," said the insurance man, "that are specially dangerous (I use the word in contrad istinction to the term unheulthfill) to human life. I mean such occupations in which accidents are likely to happen, If extraordinary care is not used. Those workmen who in painting the houses have to stand on a suspended stage, hanging often by a single rope, literally carry their lives in their hands. Masons and bricklayers engaged in the erection of high buildings stand In im minent danger of their lives. Sailors, Fishermen, pilots, engineers, drivers of locomotives ami car drivers all pursue dangerous occupations ami live even moment, as it were, with the risk of ls-lllg kilbsl; but it is riot to these dan gerous einpl iymerits 1 refer when I speak of those that come under the head of unhealthy ones. There are trades in which thousands are getting their livings that ar>- absolutely fatal ill themselves." "And are these fatal Dados, as you call them, essential to the demands ol modern < iv ili. at ion ?." "Tie-re's the rub. Let rue tell you that these ham-fill, p< riii< ions trades which undermine the health of the workers to such an alarming degree, swelling the death rat/ ami tilling our cemeteries, are almost all not merely essential, but really indispensable to the welfare of the public." "In a word, you mean that there are useful vocations, in which mem women and children are employed, that an- detrimental to health, and shorten life?" "That is so. 1 would call them deadly industries. Factory life at the l-et is but a jMH>r affair, but when the work is health-destroying, what a fear ful thing to consider." "Will you refer specially to some of the trades which you deem un healthy ?" "Well, there arc the workers in brass and must constantly inhab- it. Tins metal-p.., - -resl air enters and p< iim .it- - the human system so thoroughly asto color its secretions and j.'-r-piration.

"You liraw an awful picture," said the reporter. "Here is a case; A young man with ruddy checks, bright eyes and buoyant movements, full of health ami manly vigor, held for sonic years the pi nit ion of foreman in a bras* cannon-lock fac tory. His health faihsl hiln; he was a victim of bbxsl jHusonlng, the result of bis deleterious emyloyment. He never recovered his health, for the. fatal dust ha/1 jx-netrated his system, and corrupted his bbsxl. He left the factory, travel.si. tried change of air and a new life. 1 even the lx-st me dical skill was powerless to restore his health, There was no remedy which could dislodge the fatal deposit nor purify the vital current of his Issly. He lingerisl for years, his existence a living death, and finally went down to the grave in the prime of his manhood, a martyr to his deadly craft, leaving a wife and five children destitute." "There are, of course, other trades which I suppose you would rank as unhealthy liesidea brass and copper working?" "Yes. Victims of deadly Industries may lie found among lapidaries, steel grinders, manufacturers of paints and white lead, iron-moulders, makers of grindstones, sawyers, lead-pencil mak ers and a score of others, without 1 speaking of surh employments as cooks, printers and bakers, who, while not j inhaling met alio particles, breathe a 1 noisome, fetil atmosphere, and work under circumstances alike inimical to health and happiness." It becotncM a question in this day of enterprise arid competition in industrial progress," said the reporter, "whether those who follow, at a lamentable cost, necessary but fatal trades, should not lie regarded as having some claim on legal protection." "Most decidedly," answerer! the insur ance man, "These operatives who toil only to die victims to their work, 1 are sclfsaerilieing benefactors to man kind, and society has a duty toward them which should be performed in a philanthropic spirit." "What is your idan of compensa tion?" "The fated toilers, whose labors lw netit mankind at the risk of their own health, and whose lives are daily im periled and wasted, should receive some legislative protection w hb-h would compel the owners of factories and workshops in which deadly industries .ire carried on to make some provision ■it least for the lamilies ot their work tlieli."
