One fine morning, in tho autumn
of 1850, 1 stepped on board the cars
in a distant Western eity, tn route
forNeWYork, for the pnrposo of
purchasing good for the Well known
dry goods firm of which I was a
mmbor. Icarrier a'iarge aomof
money, as we rarely did business on
erodit - :
.' After taking a careless eurvoy of
the passengors, and recognizing no
familiar face, I leisurely unfolded my
newspaper and commenced to read.
We passed lereral way-stations,
and I, engrossod with my paper, had
soaiwly token the trouble to look up
or, notice who entered or left the car,
pntil I suddenly became conscious
that I was being influenced by some
powerful magnetio force. To explain
definitely how this knowlodg was
conveyed to me, I cannot, no more
than I can accurately define the son-
sations thftt assured me of the fact i
nryVertheleM I was jus t as positive
that sonu'peraon was asserting or
cndeaTetmng to assert the supremacy
oC win, by leading me captive, as I
wan of my existence.
I raised my eyes, and as X did so,
a pair of very . black ones' ' opposite
were instantly averted. They were ve
ry beautiful eyes, too, as I soon dis
coveredlarge, liquid, changing with
every varying emotion. Such eyes
capable of beautifying even an
'lyfooe. but when they, belong -to
ling lady of faultless features
auiTAngure, lue my vte-a-vtt of tiiat
s.tmn morning, they complete a
pirtnre not soon to be forgotten.

robes, no oho f Would haro doubted
that she was btlier thut sho soomed,
an innocent young girl i for, doapito
her true chnrartcr, she had a certain
sad, trUBtful expression, that' rarely
falls to umpire coiifidenco. " '
Mien tho cars stoppod at the noxt
station, tho seat directly behind mine
became vacated, and as it was near
tlte stove, my lady in black, appa
rently for that . reason exchanged
hers for it, as tho day was raw and
chilly. As she did so she dropped
her gloves, and L of courso, immedi
ately picked them up, and as I hand
ed thorn to her I rooeived a vory
graceful ."tlianVt yon, sir 1" and some
trilling remark relative to her caro-
lesHnoHS. From this wecOHilv elided
into converriation, as neither, iWy,
was aveme to such au agroonblo oc
cupation. She was woll informed and lady
like in manlier, aud I abandoned
myself to the enjoyment of her de
lightful society.
Many would term my fuse inatimi
love at first sight, and laugh at my
rhapsodies, but so fur as my experi
ences prove, it was not nt all mmilur
to love. I was attracted in spito of i
myself controlled by another's will,
without tho conttent of my own ma
son. This, I have no doubt, is often
mistaken for la WKrV passion, hence
tho disastrous results so often wit
nessed in unhappy marriages. There
is no tnio love, I hold, which is not
based upon a recognition of lovable
qualities.
It was growing dark when sho suid
at tho noxt station sho must stop.
I handed her my card, and sho ''u
return, favored mo with a delicto
bit of postboard, with "Miss ALi
Harlow" neatly ongravod thereon."
Wen wo arrived at the depot, I
aroso to assist her in alighting i and
and taking a heavy travelling bag in
in ouo hand and her shawl upon my
urin, I stepped upon the platform,
and offered my disengaged hand to
help her down tho narrow steps of
the car.
By somo misthanco ho stumbled
and fell I, encumbered as I was,
being quito powerless to prevent it.
I supposed it to bo puruly acciden
tal, at tho time, and endeavored to
ruiso her, but sho gave a little cry of
pain, aud seemed to swoon.
I hail but a moment to sp.iro bo
foro tho train would start, and, in
alarm, I looked for the friend whom
sho said sho expected to meet . her.
I saw no one, however, except the
attendant of tho depot and a couple
of idle-looking follows, who, I judged
were there because thoy hod no
where to go.
Tho former aided mo in carrying
hor into tho dopot, when sho recov
ered suflloiontly to murmur hor
thanks, asd begged that I would
find soma one to convoy hor homo.
I inquired of tho "attendant" if
thoro was ono I could got, and ho
said no, unless I wont to tho
a mile distant.
village,
The cars had already crono, leavincr
tne victim of my unwise gallantry
and, wlujo I was considering what it
was best to do, a man drove up in an
open bugy, who made some iiujui-'
ties concerning the arrivals by tho
last train, and was turning, with a
disappointed air, to depart, when ray
companion snggnsted that I might
got him to drive hor homo, a dis
stance of three miles.
In answer to my request, ho . said
he could do bo just as woll as not,
as he lived only a mile from "Locust
Place."
' My companion asked me in such
a charmingly dopreoa ting mannor to
accompany her that I could not re
sist, even if I had had a thought of
bo doing. . .
He was a strangor to hor, she
said and I, having no suspicion of
any ruso to entrap , me, beliovod it
That the man might be a participant
in the preconcerted, scheme of which
( was the destined, victim, never oc
curred to me for one momont
The night was dark and drear, and
for a mile before we reached oar des
tination a thick wood skirted the
road on either Bide. I was armed
with a revolver mnd, though I would
not admit to myself that J had any
apprehension otronble, yet I kept
my hand in close : proximity to its
friendly presence. " ,
Finally we reached what my char
ger called "Locust Plane," and whioh
was to named, she said, from the
o-roya of loo ust trees in the rear of
3 house. It was an onlinary look-
'3 (tailing, as IdetermJneA from
t tha rapid ghtnoe I gave f by means
1 of the tfht Uiat gtrejamed forth from
wliito, Rome day, but at present only
slight vontiges romainod of its for
mor purity. Tho stroot door was in
tho middle, with a largo, squaro room
on either sido, and clinmbors of cor
responding dimensions abovo.
As wo drovo np, a man appeared
at the door, holding in his hand a
lantern. Ho soomed tu bo about fifty
years of ago, and his burly figure
was clothed in the mannor of an or
dinary farmer.
In a guttural tone, ho railed out :
"Good evening, Mr. Joo 1"
And thon holding up tho lantorn,
ir order to soo mora distinctly who'
composed tho rest of tho party, ex
claimed : '
"What 1 yo han't brought my gal
homo sick, hev yo T"
He fore tho person addressed had n
chance to reply, Miss Ada said :
"Oh, uo, father t I had a littlo full,
and a:n somewhat lame, tint is all." j
By thotinio we had assisted her to
Alight n woman, , whom slide groeto
as "mother," camo, all itui flurry, to
know what was tho matter.
After making the necessary expla
nations. Miss Ada presented lilo to
her parents in her own graceful way;
aud amid their anxiety for her, nttd
their gratitude to mo, I noticed noth
ing in the least calculated to awaken
any doubts aa to their sincerity.'
I oonfesH, however, that I was sur
prised to meet such rough. Unculti
vated people as. tho parents of my
ilivinity, but then I retlected, soino-
times doting parents, conscious of
their own need of culttu'o, will lavish
upon their childrod every possible
advantage.
Having Been my chargo safely
within her homo, I turned to tho
man who had brought us. hither, for
tho purpose of engaging his services
in driving mo to a hotel t but they
all assured mo there was none within
a distanco of sovon miles, and it was
already ton o'clock. I could do no
better, it seemed, thau to nvail niv-l
self of their urgent invitation to stop
whore I was till morning. I
I sat down in tho neat though
plainly furnished sitting room, and
glanced around mo.
A well-worn woolen carpet covored

goat boy is to chiulto the iichLs and
tlestroy the eggs or the young broods
of these birds, whom he justly con
siders his natural enemies.
Sometimes a goat searching for
fooil, leaps upon a narrow ledge,
from which it ean neither advance nor
retreat. Seeing its danger it uttem
liiiuentiilde cries of distress, which
tho goat boy hears and traces to
their source- But he finds it iiIiro
lutely impossible for him t i follow
the animal nud bring it buck. Then
ho hastens to a herdsmitu's cabin for
help'; and -they repair with mpo, to
soma high crag overhanging the nar
row ledge, when the herdsman fas
tens the rope around tbo body of tho
boy and lowers him down over the
steej) cliffs till ho has reached tho
goat. Tbo most dangerous portion
of his duty has still to be done, how
ever, for ho must bind tho goat on

And yet notwithstanding, his bra

the young goat-herd seldom hut; for

tho nearest goat, ana lying aown un

without the intervention of A enp or
