"What alls papa, mother?" said a sweet little glr',
Iter bright laugh revealing her teeth white as
pzarl;
•'1 lose ..him, and kiss him, and sit on his knee
But the kisses don't smell good when he kisses mar•
"But mamma'•—h?r eyes opened wide as she spoils
"Do you like nasty kisses or •baceo and smoke?
They might do for boys, but for ladlfs and girls
I don't thlni them nice," and she tossed her bright
curls.
"Don't - nobody's papa bare moutii titre and•cican?
With kisses 'lnc yoars, mamma—thara what I
mean;
want to kiss papa, I love him so well,
Bat kisses don't taste good that haro such a smell!"
"It•s nasty to smoke, and eat 'burro, and spit,
And .the kisses aln 7 t good.-and ain't sweet, not a
bit:"
And her blossom-lito faro wore a look of disgust,
.As she gave out her verdict, so earnest and Just.
"Fes, yes, little darling, your wisdom has seen
That kisses for daughters and wires should be
clean;
For kisses lose something of nectar and bliss
From mouths that are stained and unfit fora kiss."
TitE FATAL . SHOT.
"Help! Help!"
That desperate,hopeless cry echoed
but faintly among the wild, craggy
rocks that abounded-'on the east side
of a small island off kthe coast of
Maine, for the splashing of the waves
upon the beach below, f w►nd the sigh
ing of the wind through the wide
rifts and over the ledges, partially
.drowned it. By aid of the full,
round moon, which seemed to be ris
ing directly out of the gently-ruffled
waters, that stretch away as far as
the eye can reach, we discover the
form•of a man, who is hurrying down
towards the shore, with a struggling
female in his arms.
"'There, my pretty one," he S4id,
" don't make such a noise, fir 1
doubt if your voice will be beard in
this wild region. We'll reach the
boat soon, then you may cry or sing
to the stroke of the oars till you are
tired!"
At length he paused, and, placing
his fingers to his mouth, gave a shrill ,
whistle, which was quickly answered.
Seemingly satisfied, he proceeded On.
presently reaching the beach, along
which he rapidly strode with his bur
den..
64 Be lively, lads," he said, upon
nearing a place where the rneks pro
jected some distai l ice into the water,
not fl - frinn which, two men stool
waiting with a hoat drawn pp
wit3*on the . sand. "Let us get
away from here as' soon as 'pesSible.
!list! who comes'!"
Scarcely Intl he reached the boat,.
when, a tall, athletic youth bounded
.forward, and pushed one of the as
tonished men into the water, a re
treating wave carrying him far out
into the little bay before he was able
to make a strokt to save himself; then,
'Springing upon the oter, he dealt
him a blow Which sent him sprawl
ing into the boat, and dashed his
head Wltl_such violence against one
of the thwarts, that insensibility in-,
stantly ensued. , .
The abductor quickly placed the
maiden on her feet, and drawing a
pistol, lev'eled it at the head of the
intruder, but ere he could discharge
it his • throat was grasped by the
hand of his opponent, the weapon
wrested from him, and himself rude
ly prostrated.
" Now,'' said the youth, pointing
the pistol at the fallen man, and
slowly retreating backward, • with
one arm about the waist of the maid
en, "if you attempt to rise I'll send
a bullet through your brain. 1 - will
do you no further injury, though, if
you will allow us to depart in peace."
" You seem to have the advantage
at presentl" returned the other; "But
I shan't :forget this ! You shall sue
the time you crossed my path !" -
" I thank you for your friendly
'warning, and will perhaps profit by
; but, take the' advice of a young
friend, and leave this neighborhood
as soon as possible, • for I perceive
you don't belong here, and you are
certainly gaining no friends."
Slowly the young couple moved
away , from the place where.the short,
decisive struggle had occurred, till
at length a tinge boulder hid them
from view ; then they turned and
hurried up the- steep ascent which
led toward the home of the girl.
" Oh, Walter," she said, as they
proceeded rapidly .up the treacher
ous path, hand in. hand, " how can
I ever repay you for this kindnesS ?"
"The only reward I ask is a con
tinuance of the same warm lore
you have lately showni: me," ;replied
the youth ; you can bestow it,
Rachel, can you not ?" ,
" Certainly, I Can. have I not
assured you of my devotedness long
ere this?", •
Yes, yiys:;,but I thought:peril:lly:
your sentiments had ehanged, since
you were just now trying to elope
with that fellow Whom we left (town
On the beach," and the young man
laughed lightly at his facetious re
mark. " I happened to be on my
way to pay' you a visit," he., contin
ued, " when I heard you call for
help, so I turned[my steps in the di
rection whence came the cry, and
overtook you justin tine to prevent
your being carried away from me
perhaps forever. But who is that
fellow ? and how came he to get hold
of you ?"
I don't know who he is, but I
think he is the captain of that strange
vessel,. which you have perhaps seen
anchored at the.entrance of the bay
for the last two days. I met him
- yesterday, and imiinsulted me, but I
Massed on without seeming to notice
him. This evening he came to the
house. Mother, as you know, has
been very ill for the. last few days,
and this =ruing she was somewhat
worse, so father started up to
to get. Dr. Benton and Uncle William
to come and see her. He has not re=
turned yet, so when this _man came
in I was alone with mother. With
out a word of warning, he caught
~ t,
rite 'up in his arms, and hurried
away with Inc. You, mow the rest."
The two soon reached the girl's
home,—a plain but substantially,-
built It ut,the interior of which, though
scantily furnished, looked , neat and

TOWANDA,
comfortable. Upon a small table,
which stood between the door and
one of the windows, was a lighted
candle, nearly burne_ t( - ,ia the socket,
and a large wood fire inirned in ! the
broad'open fire-place, while various,
little artitdes which lay j upon, the
mantel, or bung behind. the door, in
dicated that the male occupant was a
fisherman.] '
In one corner of, the apartment
was a bed, upon which reclined a
middle-aged female, whose,
cheeks and wasted form beipoke long
and terrible suffering. When the
latch wit's lifted, and the door swung
open, she! raised her head with a
nervous terror to see who had come.
" Mother it is I," !saiii Rachel,
stepping quickly towards: the bed,
and bending over her. v, u How do
you feel now ?"
" Oh, my 'dear, dear child," said
the invalid,' stretching forth her thin
hands," " ilfeared you were gone for
ever.! Where is that villain Who was
here?"
"We left him down, on the beach.
Walter, here, rescued mel.from his
clutches just as he was lifting me in
to his boat."
The yoUng man approached the
bedside, and suffered his toil-stained
hand to be grasped by the sick ,
wo
man.
. "Bless Sou, Walter!". she said,
fervently. "God bless you, my dear
bOy ! and,lwhen I am gone, 1 hope
you will take goOd care of Rachel."
•° BUt yOu must not talk of leav
ing us yeti Mrs. Chester," said Wal
ter, soothingly. "Are you not feel
ing
. bettcr now."
No ; I believe I
. am- growing
worse. I am so nervous to-night
that the slightest noise startles me,
and causes my heart to throb so
violently, that it seems at times as if
it would burst from my bosom.
Rachel, isn't it time your father re
turned
.t‘ Yep, ,mother ; but Ido not see
biin coning yet."
Rachel looked out through the
window upon the, moonlit waters,
hoping to See her father's'boat com
ing around - the point at the entrance
to the little bay, but in vain; so she
returned to the bed Side of her moth
errand carefully arranged the pil
lows beneath her head, and brushed
the long black hair from her face.
Presently .the invalid dropped -into a
quiet sleep, and the young couple
seated themselves before the lire,
and began' to converse in low tones,
occasionally turning and looking out
at the window, expecting to discover
the approach :of the old fisherman,
and wondering what could keep him
so long..
Slowly the moon rose toward the
zenith, still shedding a mellow light
over the face of nature, and preSent
ly the old clock on the mantel struck
eleven, causing the sufferer to start
nervously in her sleep, but she sank
back again, without waking.'
" I must leave' you now,"
said the young man, pushing his
chair awayl from the ere, "for I was:
up late Wit night, and I promised
Dan Duncan I could be ready to go
to with him at four o'clock
to-morrow anorning. not be fit
to ch.; anything unless I have a lew
hours sleep. You're not afraid to be
alone, are you ?"
"Oh; no 1" replied the girl ; "there's
nothing tolfear except that man who
tried to carry me away this evening,
and it seems to me you have better
reason to fear him than I have."
Don't be alarmed about me,,
Rachel, for, I shall be on my guard,
though I, hardly think he will show
himself arOund herd again. 'Be a
good girl, land don't forget, me in
your dreanis. ;Good night." •
" Good-night, Walter."
The lovers' lips met in a long; af
fectionate kiss; then the young man ,
ppssed out, and started towards his
humble hoMe. Rachel watched him
until his. form mingled with the
shadow of,a, high, jagged rock, and
then turned and . closed the door,
and, perceiving that her mother was
still sleeping, seated herself before
the tire again, waiting anxiously for
the coming of her father;
Half an ihour passed qbietly but
tediously hey when, upon looking
out at the *indow, as she had done
nearly a }Mildred times before, she
bounded tO her feet with a cry of ter
ror; but,; quickly recovering her
self-possesaion, she slammed to . the
window-shutter, which opened on the
inside, and fastened it, and then bar
red the doOr.
" Rachel ; • Rachel! what is • the
matter? Where is Walter ?" cried
her mother, nervously. starting up,
but sinking back again upon her pil
low, with both hands pressed over
her wildly throbbing heart.
" Oh, mother, I saw two *hideous
faces peering in at the window just
now, and one of them belongs to that
man Who I was here this 'evening!
What shall I do? Oh, mother, Nvliat
shall—"
Iler utterance was'interrupted by
a loud knack at the door, to which
she designd no response,;: but in an
agony of Iterror kept close to the
bedside °flier mother. The knock
was repeated, and the blood seemed
ready to freeze in her veins as the
latch was I impatiently lifted, and a
heavy weight pressed against the
door till it seemed the bar that held
it shut mist give . way,,and place her
at the mercy of the ruffians.
" liallo,lneighbor, let us' in won't
you, at length, came a voice from
without '• " we are
. travelers, seeking
shelter for the night."
This, Rachel was positive, .was
falsehood, for no pie ever came to
the little island except to transact
business With those who lived there,
and it was not so large but Mat one
might traverse through it froth end to
end in a Couple of honks ; so she
maintained her position without ut
tering a is=ord.
.
"I say there, my fine girl," con
tinued the speaker, after waiting a
few minutes, his tone of voice and
manner of rattling the latch showed
that he was getting exasperated at
not being i admitted; "if you don't
open thigdoor pretty suddenly, well
burst it open I" And,again the bar
seemed ready to give. , way under the
heavy body pressed against it.
" Rachel," said the. nervous inva
lid; in, a. hoarse whisper, while. her
eyes, the Pupils of which had, grown
min:dm:l4 large-and bright with

terror, seemed to be on the point of
starting from their sockets, "what
if they should get inside ! Tie
would kill me, and carry you away !
Shoot them!" she cried, horrified at
the thought to which she had given
expression ; " take down the gun and
shoot the villains , !" .
Reddy to adopt the first plan that
came to mind, the girl sprang, upon
a chair before the fire, and e took
down from the hooks in the; wall,
•over the mantel, her father's old gun,
together with the powder-horn and
bullet and cap pouched. Theselatter
she carried to the -table, and . then
with the expertness Of • an experienc
ed hunter, drew the ramrod and
sounded the depth of the bailie', to
iseovpr, if the weapon was loaded.
It was pot! so she blew into, the
muzzle, 'and found that, though it
bad not been used for a long time, it
was still in good condition.
With a look of fierce determina
tion, she poured a quantity of pow
der into the palm of her left hand,
and slipped it into the barrel,ramming
the wad down upon it with an ener
gy that fairly made the weapon ring.
The bullet was next dropped in, and
as it did not lit snug, a wad of pa
per was pushed down upon .it to
keep it in place; the hammer was
then raised, and. the cap carefully
adjusted; then, with her linger op
the trigger, the resolute girl at once
advanced toward the middle of the
room.
Meanwhile, the knocking and rat
tling at the door had ceased, but
presently it was resumed, though not
with the seeming impatience that it
was before.
"Father," ventured the girl, hop
ing it might be her parent who had
returned, "if it is you, speak, and I
will let von in."
. She waited, but no response came,
other than a nervous clicking of the
latch, and a • pressure like that of a
foot against the bottom of the door.r.
With an inward prayer that God
would forgive the deed, she raised
the gun to .her shoulder and pulled
the trigger, the ball passing thrOugh
the door a little below where th&-bar
crossed it. A groan from without,
as some heavy body sank upon the
doorstep—a shriek of agony from
the bed in the corner—and all was,
still, save the sharp ringing in her
ears which the report had occasioned.
Hastily dropping the weapon on
the floor, Rachel sprang to the bed
side of her mother, but to her horror,
found her lying upon .her side, her
pulse silent, her, heart silent too I
" Oh, mother,. mother! •Speak—
speak to' your wretched, child, and
tell me I have not murdered You!
Oh, tell inc I have not 'murdered
you!"
The wards ended in, a wail of deS
pair, and a 6 the purple lips still kept
silent, the .poor i girl sank upon the
floor bereft of all consciousness.
At length she was aroused by a
loud knock, and a voice, which she

TliE ENGINE DRIVER'S STORY.
In the autumn of 1856 I was engi
neer on the Galena and Chicago Un
iOn Railroad, now the Galena► Divis
ion of the great Chicago and North
western Itailway,• and was sent one
Sunday from the Junction—thirty
miles west of Chicago—to Harlem,
to bring up, several cars ',loaded with
railroad iron. On arriving at 'Harlem
I found the turn-table broken, .and,
therefore, went down to the limits,
then Halsted street, to turn my en
gine about. At that time there were
no houses between the city and Oak
Ridge, nine miles out, it being a
smooth, lavel prairie all the way, and
but little travel except on the cars.
The road was an air -line, and when
I had got half over the distance, 1
'saw walking on the , track a young
man and a young woman, each one
carrying a small parcel and having
the appear a nce of fugitives,. That
was'' lon g before Mr. Greeley had in
stiitietthe young men to "g 6 west,"
aid this pair bad .really got the start
of the Tribune seer, for they were
gOing West as fast as they could
walk, and at the" time of .my.meeting
Wein, baka long stretch before them
that promised no pleasing company
e*c..ept as they found in each other.
.'After turning my engine litarted
14ek, and in a. short time overtook
the wanderers; when I stoplied Elie
engine and invited them to ride. At
first they seemed a little timid, but, I
qtrieted their fears, ,and having got
'them nicely seated in
,the cab
learned that . the 'young man bad been
in' m employ of a farmer in Chautau
qa N. Y.; that the girl was
the' only daughter of the farmer ;
that they had determined on getting
niarried,against the will of the pa- -
rents, and had run away, seeking
t4t haven of rest, Chicago. •
`Mere they got out of money, and
asrJhe young man failed to'get work,
they had started out to rook • for a
Aloe among the farmers. I took him
toy the Junction, where his story
a*akened a good deal of interest for
th* among the railroad men, result
ing placing him at De Kalb, as
night-wiper of locomotives. - Irere
they continued
to
the winte , ,
anal.as I used to see them at time:
thfnk I never saw two persons whO
seemed to be better or more lovingly
mated . than they. The following
sPring I lost sight of them, but sub
sequently learned that they had re
turned East.
few days,after Christmas, 1875,
I went into I.:verett's dining-rooms,
Vi 4shington Market, New York, and
ordered dinner. While waiting to be
sei7:ved, I saw a well-to-do fanner
lodkincr individual` enter and take a
seat nt the next table. lie was in
eblwersation with a butcher, and I
thOught I recognized soniething,
miiar fljn the voice and, features - of
the new comer. So impressed was I
with the belief ,that I had seen him
before, that on finishing my lunch I
approached awl asked him,if we had
not met somewhere. lie failed to re

meets in the l'orada or assembly

but its avowed object is the-expiation
of sin' by ;thc infliction of violent
bodily punishment. Toward - Good-

in the society, and the town-hall is
occupied nearly every evening by
meetings, which are signalized to the
outsiders by disinat cries, groans,

Verse 13 has also oCeasioned - a great

that it was merely unbelievers who, .f • •
to rntingle, with them. This theory,
either form ofjti does not seem probable.
btter. vieiv is that "the rest" mean
others 'of; thc,saMe etass! as Ananias and
Sapphira, and that suchwere, deterred by ,
the fate of these 'from reeking a hypocrit•
ical Profession. - ,:of piety. "The salutary
fear thus engendered was the Meals by
which it -pleased God to ;preserve the
churc:li, in this its infant state, from the
intrusion of impure and, hypocritical pro
t:essorp." Dr. J. A. .a.lexander's explan
ation is original and Striking. "The whole
connection, thns, explained, may be para
phrased as follows: deatkof 'Ana
nias and Sappthra filled tbe public mind
With awe, and this was. afterward' Main
tained by a continued series of miraclfs,
in consequence 'ofwilich. tip disciples were
allow4d to constitute a body by themselves,'
witliotit molestation or lintrusion•;from

formed the habit of assembling daily in
the prirch of Solomon, no Others.ventured
to mix. with them there, -but the people
• t -
were content to look on as More specta-
tors from the cOUrts , adjeilting, and eon
tinua4 magnified (i. e 4 I admired and,
praised) them; as a company .among
whom God Vas present in:a new and most
`extraerdinary manner.',7l
Altliough deep awe r i oted upon the
popular mind, it did not Prevent numer
ous conversions. 3.lultituds of believers,
both Male and Temale, were added to the
Lord; I not mereli to the chureli,'as in the ,
case of Ananias and Sapphira. Kitto

There; is no need of the parenthesis in our
!EngliSli ' piblek: by which the 15th v. is
connected withi,the first .clause ef tbe 12th

constriiction of the clauses as iirimedately

successive; "and believerS l were. more ad
