This evening. Ethel w as very wild,
awl Kitty's efforts to, calm her were
unsuccessful,-for a long time, - For
more than an hour ;the .brave girl
struggledrwith her insane compan
iun,•and r ot until they: were alone

_
/clock, any ..,ufferer , was
quiet; half-past, and she was'sleep
ing peacefully; eleven, and Kitty
could-withdraw - her-tired arm under
the burning head, and - prepare to re
turn to the Seminary.
The minister had, pined his wife,
and escorted• by these kind friends,
Kitty walked slowly home, being
ivy much exhausted. and •frightfully
pale. _ _ _ _
..She had just bade licr.OoMpanions.
'goodnight, and. was about.to step up .
on the...porch leading to the set
rants. entrance ; where she was about
to admit herself with: the matron's
'night-key, when; a group of girls
rushed around the corner of the house
and tan up the stoop
. They were so disguised by their
Water-prOOf capes and hOods that Kit
ty conk', hardly' have recognized one
of their number. • Suddenly .it flash
ed upon tier that.this was tije even
ing of Miss Fessenden's party, and .
that these girls. had . attended it.
. Then the. leader, whoM Kitty
strongly suspected was Laura Cary,
opened the door. It Was found after
ward that they had: bfibed the coolc. -
arid obtained her pass-key.
As they'all crowded into.the hall,
still.as mice, Kitty, bringing up the
rear, there, stood Prof, Montrose in
the doOr of hiestudy, the bright light
from within shining full . upon the
girls, and making each face perfectly
distinguishable! As the professor
threv(uP his-hands, there they stood
looking like (I# - riaati.y monks in thOr
long . black cloaks.
" Where have' you been, Miss
Cary. ?" inquired the professor, in
tones that 'made even the bold Laura
tremble. - •
"IS% have been to Miss Fessen
den's party," she replied, after some
deliberation.
There were 'seven in this group,
and three of the number were so
frightened or so conscience-stricken,
that they
_began to cry: Then the
professor's eyes fell upon 'Kitty; •
Miss Bache 1" he exclaimed,looli
ing like a man who had been struck,
and starting forward 'a step 9r two,
as' if to make sure his eve's had not
- ,
deceived him.'
For a moment Kitty's self posses
entirely_ deserted her, -Old she,
looked theguiltiest one of the party.

she bad no strength left for this trial,

found—probably for -the' first - time in
her life—that she Was actually unable
to speak a,word.
She leaned against the door for
support: One of the girls, who saw
how pale and weak she was, took
held of her arm, and tried to lead her
away. She was afraid she was,going
to faint, and doubtless thou
had as a good a reason as the rest of
them for desirin i g to keep her own
counsel. Several times Kitty opened
her lips to speak, but was powerless
to articulate a single sentence. Then
- the profesSor spoke again. : -•!
"Young ladies, go-to your rooms.
I will see to you hr , the, morning.
Oh, how sad and grieved his yoke
sounded! Then Kitty tried to move
along with the rest; but there seem•
ed to be something right before her
all the time---something tall and dark
that would certainly kuock her
down if. she took inotigy step. • .

was poordittle Kitty in a deadifaint.
'For an hoilr or more Catharine
did everything in her power for the,
girl's 'restoration, and was just. on
the point of summoning the matron,
when Kitty recovered a little.
' How-can I ever live till.morning

such a bad girl ?" she sobbed. .
" But, Kitty, how was\ it possible
for you to go off with those \ girls,
anyway?".said Catharine, sobbing
too. -

the observation that perhaps all the
liberal minded souls -passed in and

inserted in the lock of the cash box,

ny describes the •needles of bronze
which were used tok,,the' Greeks and
Romans. These instruments = have
also been found in the ruins of Her
enlaneutn." The first account that
history gives of the manufacture of
needles is that they were made at
Nuremberg in 1760, and white the
date?: of their fist manufacture in
England ivin doubt, it is said= to
have , commenced in that country,
aboOt 1548 or 1545, and it is assert. ,
ed that the art was practiced by a
Spanish negro'or 'native of India '
who. diedwithout disclosing the se
cret of his process. Durinithe reign
of Queen Elizabeth this industry was
revived, and has been,eoutinued ever
since. Christopher Greening and a
Mr. Darner estabiioed needle- judo
ries at Long crndon, near Red
ditch, in England, in 1650, and these
were soon %toad by other London
needle bakers. Redditch i's still the
centre, of needle manufacture. The
eyes of the earliest. needles were
Square. Many unsuccessful attempts
were made to bring out the so-called
"drill-eyed " - needles before they
were finally introduced in 1826..Tw0
years later the burnishing machine
'in which the eyes of needles are pol
ished eras completed. In this ma-.
-chine the needlea are strung on a
steel wire, %ithich is caused to revplve
rapidly, and 'thereby impart a beauti
ful finish to the eye. The process oct
hardening needles was for many
yore accoMplished by casting them,
while red hot t into cold water. By
this means a large proportion of
them became crooked, and the' , ser
vices_of alarge number of workmen
were required ,to*,str ,ighten them. In
1840 the substitution of oil in the
place of water took place', and as this
caused a large number of the work
men "to be throWn out of employ
ment, a riot took Iplace at: Redditch,
and the introducer of the''oil process'
Was d:Aven oat of the town. The
machinery for making needles has
now been brought to such a state of
perfection . that, frotr. the coil of steel
wire to the finished needle,, the ma
chines used perfotm their various op
9mtions in a •manner that.may be
said to be almost Automatic. ' -
Keep Ahead.
One of the grandest sec eta of sue
ccss in life is to keep ahead
ways possible - If you 'once fall be
hind,, it May be very difficult to make
up the headway _which is lost. One
who begins with putting aside some
paTi. of his earnings, however small,
and keeps it up, for a number of
years, is likely to' Moine rich before
he dies. One who inherits property,
and goes on year by year spending a
little amore
ore than his income will become
poor if he lives lOng enough. Living
beyond. their means has brought
multitudes of persons Co ruin in our
generation. It is the cause of nine
tenths of all the thifeleations which
have disgraced the age. - Bankers and
business men in general do not often
help themselves to other people's
money until their own funds begin '
to fall off, and their expenditures
exceed their receipts. A man who
is in debt walks in midst of
perils. It cannot but impair a man's
self respect to know that he is living
at the expense of others. it is also
very desirable that we should keep
somewhat ahead in our work.
This may not be possible in, all
eases; as for instance, when a man's
work is assigned to certain fixed
hours, like that of the operative in a
mill. But there, are certain classes
of people who can chose their time
for the v:ork which they are called to
do, and amongst Ahem there are some
who invariably put off :the task as
signed them as long as possible, and
then come to its performance hurried;
-perplexed, anxious confused—in such
a state of, mind as certainly unfits
them for doing their beat-work. Get
ahead and keep ahead, and your snc•
cess is tolerably kure.

'An Env.lish correspondent in Asia,
referring to the fighting qualities of
the Afghan soldiery, says : 'An

were more pronounced on the lattle

they have ever been in India, if we
except the retributive days ,of um

minute was probably to cause the
death of the next- soldier who un
suspicieusly walked past him. One
thing our men certainly learned in
Afghanistan, and ;that seas to keep
their wits about them when pursuing
an enemy or passing over a ha'rd-won
field. -There might be danger lurking
'in each seemingly inanimate form
studding-the ground, and unless Care
and caution' were exercised, the
wounded Afghan would steep his
soul in bliss by killing askaifer just
when life was at its last ebb. This
stubborn love of fighting in extrenzis
'is prompted doubtless by fanaticism,
and we saw so much of it that our
men at close quarters always drove
their bayonets well home so that
there should be no' Mistake as to the
dead lines of 'the wound. The phys
