"So good of you, l'aul," and tlio widow smiled sweetly as bho held out her hau l. Only my duty," was the response, "I hope everything is settled satis factorily, for I must tako the even ing's train." The widow assured him that it was, nnd ho went away, to bo absent for an indefinite period of years. Paul Woodford was a young man of Hiimo twenty-eight years of age. Ho was a gentleman of "menus an 1 leisuro," which, translated into plain I'.nglisli, may bo understood as an in dependent fortune and no profession. He complained ns much of nini as any ludy of faahion ; and uow, buing tired of his native country, deter mined to tnaku a prolonged tour of the old world. Mean while chance threw him into the vicinity of distant cousin, whom he had met but once, iu his life He determined to call on him, and upon doing so, was hhocked to find that he was dead, and that his widow and two daughters were livinjj iu shabby genteel p.iverty. Paul Wood ord hated tlio sight of poverty i and tho widow realizing that, began to dilato upon tho hor rors of her present life "Besides," sho said, plaintively, "I have nn orphan uieco of Mr. Rty mond's to support. Hho has lived with us for years, aud I cannot turn her out" "No indeed, madam !" exclaimed l'aul. and then for a moment ho was silent. "I thiuk I huvoa plan which will be to your advantage," ho ob served. "I nm going abroad, aud intended to shut up Woodlawu. In stead, if you will honor mo bv going there aud taking cliargo duriug my absence, you will liouor me. ' A new light shone in the widows face at that proposition. "I will luako provisions that your two danghtors and niece shall be kept at a boarding school until they are educated. Then you can receive them at Woodlawn and remain their until I am married " He laughed as ho said that, for he believed marriage a bore, aud did not intend to indulge iu the "yoke and chains." "You are too good' the widow re sponded. ".No I will write a letter oi in structions to my steward. He will bo ready to rtceivo you at your oiiiest convenience. Also, your little incomo that yon havo now must bo ullowod to romaiu untouched, and accumulate for the emorgeucy men tioned.' He had bade Mrs. Raymond faro well, and he wrote a long letter to his steward. Soved years ptssod before Paul Woodford turned his face homeward Mounwhile he had received occa sional lottors from Woodlawn. Tho widow informed him that tho three hid graduttod and returnod home;" the steward that he paid tho quarterly allowance promptly, and that the estate was iu a n mrismng condition. That was all the news he received all he eared for. Late one aftornojn in spring, he weudod bis way leisurely, on foot, from the village depot to Woodlawu, a instance of some turoe inuos. no lid not mind the walk, for ho had become accustomed to pedestrianiam luring bis long sojourn abrot I lie had traveled almost all the Old World over t he had even gone to Australia aud Into the diggings; but yet he was the same fastidious Paul Woodford as of yore. He was enjoying the scenory, and thinking that, after all, the world held no fairer spot , than his own domain,' whioh was now beginning to bloom like a second Paradise.' He stoppvl short before the foun tain, wkeu he caught the first glimpse i 6 ,-wi- MIDDLEBURG, SNYDER COUNTY, of bit honso, to still more admire the view before him. Four la-lies wore on lha piazz. And, toying with some wortod work, he recognir.ed an the widow Itiy moudi two othori wore rondinn; the latoat novels i while the fourth was industriously sewing. 1 think idt star at Woodtawn will be short," he thought to himself.

Paul found much tooc - eupy his time. Ho weut overall the accounts with his stoward, aud visit ed every part of the estate. He was bent on improvements, and togother they wore very busy in formiug plaus and carrying them out. Whenever ho returned to the house he was lionized by the widow and her two daughters. They hung around him, and seemed almost to worship mm, but he soarcoiy ever i the love was mutuaL wot yy- Mrs. Raymond'e chagrin was in- boa he asked for her, be wiwidieoribablo, whoa sho returned from told that she was quoer ; she did not ! tue fot6( to fiU(i ittlxt 0. ii ko company ; uo preiuriwi to u 1 calmly buriod in her books. He thought it strange, but ho had no reason to doubt their assertion ; yet he could not but contrast what little he had seen of her with the moro forward cousins, and bis men tal conclusion concerning them was "pretty, but courso,'' "Ho will nevor marry you unless one of you charm him,'' Mrs. Ray mond said to her danghtors, "so we are sure of a homo bore for a life time. Ho has soon women of all na tious, and 1 am suro ho is heart free ; besides he is thirty-five if he is a day." One day l aul rocoived word that an old friend of his was coming into tho neighborhood, and a large out door party was to be held, to which ho aud his three cousius had a spe cial invitation. Of courso Mrs- Raymond was to chaporono tho party. "I don't know what tho girls will do for something to wear," said Mrs. Raymond, thoughtfully. "They have attended so many out door fes tivals, this season, that most of their light clothing is spoiled. Of course, they cannot wear silks." , "Certainly not. Do not let that worry you. 1 am going to the city this eveniug, and will purchase a dress apiece for them or rather ma terials to make tuom. "How kiud of you 1" bho ejacula ted. The next day Paul returned with three lovely organdies white with goldeu leaves. The girls went into ocstasies "I Want you all to look your best," he asid - "My .friend, is a single uitiu. Tell Fay to be euro to at tend." The day dawned pleasantly. Paul was talking to the steward about the affair.

I PA., JUNE 24, 1875. Who Discovered America ? Thete has bceu just published in London, by Trubner A Cj., the emi nont OrieuUl publishers, a volume which is liki'ly to create considerable ese.itomunt in America. It is entitled "Fnmingi or, tho Discovery of Amo rict," by Mr. Charles O. Lcland, hotter known by tho soubriquet of "Hans nrintmtnn," and, later, of "The English Gypy." For the lat eontnry scholars have known the ex istunco of n theory which nssiined the merit of tho dmeovery of Anieri e. to a ChinanMti. but never b.ifitu work, that Ameriin wis first dis covered, not by C ihtmbus. nnd not : by Sebastian Cabot, of Hristol, us learned men h ive, us a rule, rceimlly . held, but by H ii-i Shin, a Chinese Jlu Mhlst priest, in th" li'th ci-ntury of the Chiihtiau era. I'iomi t!in view of tho casu t titerl iined by Mr. I,-'- land, it appears that in tho year V.

In I S 1 1, PrufessorC.nl Neumann, of Munich, translated tho Chinese into German, nnd nlso, wilh Mr. Lclaud's help, into English. Tho latter translation, given in tho pros- ent work, was read and approved of Mr. Lulund s present work will, doubtless, evoke much m ire. The main theories of Chinese discovories of America have been keenly attacked by Klaproth, tho Orientalist, and by Dr. Drntschnoidor, thu Chinese scholar; and defended as koouly by several scholars, especially byGustav d'Eichtlml.in thu AVioc dvW iA;. 7'c, I'aris, l(j:i. Mr. Lclaud's work is tho result of great research nnd 'preserving inquiry but it gives in ts pages, fairly and equitably, the cow us well ns iron concerning his contention. A mnss of fresh ovU denco is, howover, adduced, which, for the present, seems to turn tho scfilo fairly iu favor of tho author. Mr. Leland has obtained tlio advan tage of ono romarkablo piece of ovi donco in favor of his theory. Colonel Barclay Keunon, thu well known marine geographor, formerly of the United States North Pacilio Survey, and who has had tit least threo years' experience of those waters.lms placod at Mr. Lclaud's disposal a latter in which nil tho required distnnct s are given. Colonel Keunon distinctly certifies that any sailor in an open boat could easily pass from China to California in summar, nnd never bo moro than nn hour or two out of sight of land. To Mr. Lclaud's work thoro are two sides; it is a popular work, yet it is also scientific. For instance, men of science will notice that the author has investigated tho journals of u largo numbrtr of Buddhist missona rics to India. Some of thoso appear to have been contemporary with Hoei-Shiu, and scholars will remem ber tho translation of several of them, given by Stanilas, Julien, nnd Boale. Mr. Leland declares thesn journals to bo identical in to no and style with that of Hooi-Shin. Schol ars also regard thoso journals as undoubtedly genuine and authentic It appears that somo lljllhist priests wnt west at the same time that Hoei Shin wont east towards the western coast of America It is coujeotui'wd that all of thew wcio 4 NO. 11. sent by a pious Chinosn Dow.tgor Empress, eomowhoro nltout the close of the fourth century of tho Chris tian era. Mich particulars will bo of interest to the world of science The public generally will look at the whole matter in rather a comical light. The idea of the "Heathen Chinee" discovering America will bo thoroughly relished, especially as coming from tho humorist, Hans Drietmann. It will b suggested next, wo fear, in somo comic journal, that A nioricii should not, in the future, bo calle I "Columbia." seeing that Columbus, it is sai I did not discov or it; but seeing it. has been ma le plain that it w is discovered long be fori1, ii ftonti riu !, by Hoei Shin, it should 1m henceforth known ns "Hot i-Shin li.i !"
