MISCELLANEOUS READING A LUCKY ILL WIND. _p_ The winds of fortane blow as variouslyl as the winds of Heaven. In life there are many storms, and there are few per sone who, between the cradle and the grave, are not caught in the hurricane. Whether the result of accidental circum stance or the outcome of human passions, it is certain that tempestuous events over take most men, and that skies bright and serene will change their silver light for darker, and often vengeful, hues. Such was life to Alfred Hargreaves. The ills of poverty attended his birth, and shadowed his early life; and while under the cloud, he, with the reckless improvidence of youth, became engaged to pretty Anna Blake. Anna was o, gov erness, and then resident at Stamford Hall. Young Hargreaves visited occasionally at the Hall, bat Mrs. Stamford, ignorant and purse-proud, paid sparse attention to him. Indeed, as a visitor, he was mere ly tolerated. Her daughter, Augusta, in herited her mother's regard for wealth, and built castles in the air stored with gold and jeweled ornaments, and furnish ed with all the lavishness of vulgar pro fusion. Augusta, too, was handsome and fashionable, and like her mother. despised Alfred Hargreaves because of his poverty. But to Ansa, he was the one being in whom beraffeetions centered. and aronnd whom her hope of every happiness clung. Anna's love was of that jealous, sensitive character which is the inevitable source of heart burning to its possessor. A new world of light and happiness dawned up on her when Alfred Hargreaves told her he loved her. What cared she for the poveity of which he complained? "I am poor and homeless already," she said. "but I will be rich in your love." Their marriage was to take, place in a few months. The sky was theiS, clear from the zenith to to the horizon.'. The sweet bloom of's first love was waked to Ansa, upon the soothing winds of/Hope. Asos Ntcuots While Anna Was still thus happy, a telegram waa_puktuto Alfred's hands o,ne everting"nitthey strolled beneath the beech trees of the park,announcing the midden death of his - uncle, Sir Gilbert Ifargrearea A fortune and a title had thus fallen to him, neither of which were expected in the ordinary -came of event& He was called awaihnrridly, but there wassotne thing in the parting which hmught , dis may to the heart of Anna. Mrs. Stam ford, on hearing of the change in Alfrt-d'i tnytttne, had Invited the young baronet on a Visit ) after bis uncle's funeral, and , MONTIiOSE, PA., WEDNESDAY, ,ARCH 11, 1874. Angucts„ . for the first time, prononnced Afire 4 handsouii., Anna meanwhile ask "Wcidd he really give up the brilliant prospects which his new position opened np t 8 him by marrying her?" Thoughts like these burned slowly into her brain, and ,created there a world of jealous, anxious foreboding& • In these circumstances, her proud, pas sionate nature revolted more than ever agairist the unrioyances of her passion.— The danghter'of a beneficed clergyman she had been reared In a refined and lox• urious home. Up to sixteen, all had been happiness to her. Sorrow then came.— Her father had left a cheerful fireside up on n diirk wintry night, and had riden miles 'through the snow to visit a sick friend. On hie. return, his horse took tright,andhe was precipitated into a deep ravine, where be lay unconscious for hones. When discovered he was taken to the parsonage, and only lived to say to his afflicted wife: f•Dearest, we shall meet again." He bad made no provisions for his widow, or daughter. So An na,after a year had, to face the world and ecru her own bread. The position of teacher in a gen tleman's family was uncongenial to her because of the humiliations attendant upon it, but it was her only resource, and she accepted the post of Stamford Hall. It was quite evident that Mrs. Stamford had invited the young baronet to her house with a view of giving him an op portunity of cultivating the acquaintance of her daughter Augusta, and possibly to Augusta means of conquering Alfred's affections. These were days ot special torture to Anna. She was assidionsly confined to the school-room, and when not there. was carefully kept out of the way on some pretext or other, and this from early morning until long aftersun-down. Even when Mrs. Stamford's ordinary stuck ot excuses were exhausted, she feigned illness, and kept the wretched Anna by her bedside. Thus Alfred could obtain more than a few moments con versation with his betrothed, while the brilliant Augusta kept hint prisoner by her side. Fancy the feelings of Anna when seeing her lover arm in arm with Augusta on the patterre in fiont of the mansion. The flowers shown brilliantly in the glorious sunlight of an autumn morning. Augusta had tripped on to the grass through the low French window ot the druwing-rootniand was soon joined by Alfred. Anna trembled with f. a r and vexation on seeing them pluck flowers for each other, as she had done the previous even ing when they studied into the shrubbery by twilight. But her emotion became heightened when, returning to the draw ing room, the new friends mingled their voices in a passionate love-song from the Ballo in ?gaselier& Yet she concealed her feelings by pnttir.g on an outward show of coldness, with a slight tinge of disdain. She was the rose frozen over. From that time forward she did not seek Alfred and during their hurried interviews she maintained a dignified demeanor ahogeth• er foreign to her sweet, simple Wature.— And when Alfred left Stamford Halt to go to his new estate, the parting with Anna was cold in the extreme. But there was much flutter and excitement in the ball, when Mrs. Stanford and Augusta saw Alfred into his carriage. A week passed without any letter for Anna. Troubled and anxious, she more than once opened her writing case, in or der to write for Allred. But she could not find suitable words. She did not wish to reproach him, nor yet to write in guarded language. In this difficulty she strolled into the drawing-room, and there found lying upon the table en empty en. velopP. The hand-writing was Alfred's. The letter was to Augusta. Her doubts and suspicions were confirmed. A bitter throb of anguish passed through her. The abandonment of the moment was su preme; and on returning to her room she found a letter for her. The hand-writing she did not know. Trembling She broke use seal. It was as follows: "An old friend of Sir Alfred Hargreaves who has beard much of the beauty and goodne.rs of Miss Blake, feels that he has a painfut.duty to perform relative to her engagement. He has heard from the baronet's own lips, that if free, he would now be able to seek an alliance with the Stamlords. This hint, distressing as it is, may prevent life-long misery to Miss Blake and Sir Alfred. Of course, this Miss B. will never hear from Sir Alfred's own lips." A cold, sick tremor seized upon Anna, and she sank down upon her couch.— There-for hours she turned and tossed uneasily, sometimes doing battle with the Stamfords, aoatetimes with her fatherless lover. Sleep at length came . to rest her burnmg eyelids. It was . , a restless, bro ken slumber. In the morning, fevered and ill-refreshed; she dropped herself at the writing table, Sad there; with features rigiJly set, she penned two letters. One told the truant baronet that he was free, and contained her engagement ring; the other informedllin Stanford' that Ann intended, for a muty of reasons, to at Devoted to the Interests of our Town and County. once leave Stamford Hall. 'After Anna's departure, the Stamfords 'endeavored to to keep a Watch Alien her movements, but in those aukts ,t,liey ut terly failed. Wearily the months passed -for Anna. She had now become com panion to Mrs. Clarence, a woman poe• setting noble qualites of head and heart. Mrs. Clarence was the owner of a hand some bijou residence at Torquay; a lash ionable watering-place in the. South of England. Here Anna bad alt the corn fhrts of a refined borne, and the courtesy of Mrs. Clarence added much to her hap piness. She shared in all the amusements of the Clarences, and enjoyed them butter than might be expected from her condi tion of mind. A yachting excursion was at hand. 'The Olarences were to join it, and, of course, Anna; and 'much pleas ant anticipation was indulged in before hand by the guests. The .annoumniment of the. yachting party came upon Anna like a thtinder clap, because she was told it was the in vitation of Sir Alfred Hargreaves to the family. Row could she meet him? She had of ten thought if they would ever meet again, and had sometimes half wished to show him how cold and indifferent she ' hal grown. She would even, now that the opportnnitv offered, steel her heart against him and meet him as a stranger She could not bear the idea that any one should know that she had been forsaken by the faithless baronet. The morning dawned bright and clear, lighting up the cliffs and silvering all over the calm bine sea. Very charming Anna looked in her white serge yachting dress, with its sailor-htne collar' and trim mings. Her face and features revealed none of her inward struggles, but the rose tinge had deepened on her cheek,and a restless light flashed from her soft brown eyes, as in the old days when she looked for his coming. As they stepped on board the taunt lit• tle craft, Mrs. Clarence said : "Allow , me, Sir Alfred.to intraducc... you to me friend Miss Blake." A sudden pallor overspread his face as he turned and met Anna's glance. Tie saw, in a moment, that Anna meant to treat him as a stranger, and he determin ed to take his cue from her. Both found congenial attractions among the numer- uus guests. Vety pretty the Osprey looked ip the warm sunlight. Her white sails flapped restlessly, as if dissatisfied that there was n. , t a breath of wind out to till them.— The pee) , hadformed into groups upon the deck ; the bright and variel colors of the Indies' dress, and of the tasteful bojuets they carried. contrasting with the sinirle costum, sof the men. Merry peals of laughter went over the water, and all fore-lhaled well, if only Boretti would ex tend to the:' dome of his attentions. It was a day of genial festivity to all on board except Anna and Sir Alfred, and they both dissembled so well that no one imagined they had ever met before. A heaven-sent morning was succeeded by a changeable afterr oon, Sometimes the .un shone, the dark clouds gathered, and the evening set in gloomily. The whole eky became obscure; not a star was to be seen. The wind blew in fitful gusts, and its violence increased each moment. The yacht behaved gallantly, as the foamy waves went hissing furiously past, and seemed ready to swamp her. All had re tired to their berths. Only Anna, unable to sleep, paced the deck, wrapped in a white bernous, the night-winds sweep ing her wealth of golden hair- f rom her heated brow. Her heart was iu unison with nature. The storm increased, and soon the mainsail gave way and was torn into ribbons. At the sudden lurch the vessel gave, Anna would have fallen on the deck had not a strong arm supported her. It was that of Alfred. "Anna, you will be paler below," he whispered, in tivoico hoarse with emotion. "Then there is danger, Alfred?" And the yearning lcyrk in her eyes spoke more man words ; rt told him of a heart broken and a life deotroyed "Anna, we may have met only to part again. If death should come, :et no un derstand each other. Wl:y did you prove so false to me ?" "I false! 0! Never! Never !" And there, amid the perils of thestorm, with the dark clouds vareering madly along, supported by his strong arm, she told him the story of her sufferings and her wrongs. Deep with his indignation, and deeper, if possible, his griefL. They had both been foully betrayed. ' Mrs. Stamford bad concocted a deep laid plot to separate them, and this in the iaterest of Augusta. In tender accents Alfred besought Anna to give him once more her love and confidence, and she. seeing that he bad endured months of doubt and sorrow, unhesitatingly accord ed him the old faith,and affection. Morning came, bringitig with it calm and sunshine. The lacers sat beside each other, thoughtful and happy, and good Mrs. Clarence was the first to rejoice with them when she hall heard the story of the reconciliation. In after ysare bath gratefully remem bered the menacing wind . of 'the mid night storm which had teouglii'them so much happiness. I'm on the JUrY. Up in Blossburg, the other day, ,a lightning-rod man drove up in front, of a .handsome edifice standing in the ,midst of, trees and shrubs, And •spoke to Mr. Summers, who wee sitting on • the. steps in front. Ile accosted Sommers as the owner of the residence and said.: "I see you have no lightning-rods en this house." "No," said Summers. "Pao sou going to put any on ?" "Well, hadn't thought of it," replied Summers. - "You ought to. A tall_lanilding like this is very, much exposed. I'd like to run Sou up one of my, rods; twisted steel, glass fenders, nickle-phite,d tips—erery thing complete. May put one up to show you ? do the job up cheap." "Certainly you may if you want to. I haven't the slightest objection," said Sumniers. During the next half hour the man had his ladders up and hie assistants at work, and at the end of that time the job was done. He called Summers out into the yard to admire it. lie said toSum- "Now that is well enough, but if it was my house I'd have anotheirod up on the other side. There's ,notbiug be. Mg protected thoroughly." "That's true," said Summers, "it would be better." "I'll put up another, shall I?" tgiktd the man. 'r "Why, of course, if you thiok it's best," said Simmers. Accoidingly the man went to work again, and soon bad the rod in its place. "That's a first-rate job," he said to Summers, as they both stood eyeing . it. "I like such a man as you are. Big heart ed,. liberal, not afraid to put a dollar down for a good thing. There's some pleasure in death!' with you. I like you so much that I'd put a couple more rods on that house, out on the north end and one on the south, for almost nothin'." "It would make things safer, I suppose," said Summers. 'Certainly it would. I'd better do it hadn't I—bey ?' "Just as you think proper," said Sum tilers. So the man ran np two more rods, and then he came down again and said to Summers : "'There, that job is done. Now let's settle up." "Do what ?" " Why, the job's finished, and I'll take my money." "You don't expect me to pay you, I hope:' '-01 course I do. Didn't you tell me to put those rods on your house ?" "My house!" shouted Summers. "Thunder and lightning! I never order ed you to put those rocs up. It would have been ridiculous : Why man, this is the court house, and I'm here waiting for the court to assemble, I'm on the jury. You seemed to be anxious to rush out your rods, and as it was none of my bus. iness.l let you go or.. Pay for it ! Come, now, that's pretty good." 'I he Blossburg people say that the man ner in which that hghtning-rod man tore afound town and swore was fearfuL But when he got his rods off the court-house he left permanently.

It was a terrible blow to us all, to leave. our old limbo, on the farm which had bees 101 i mg world of happiness and love, as we knew noth ing of the outside world, and the wildness that is forced upon one by strangers, but upon no one did it fall so heavily as upon my tether, crushing him to the earth, and rendering him nearly as powerless as is the giant oak when torn from its parent bed by wrathful storm.— The old homestead was endeared to him by a hundred hallowed associations. There, toe, in his early manhood had he brought his gentle bnde, my mother, and on the roneibark of the beech trees we carved our names. No wonder, then, that his head grew dizzy, and his heart sirk, as he left It forever. A small house in the village was bought, and after a few weeks' prepsration,one'bright morn tog when the flowers we bad watched ever and tended with care were in bloom, when the birds which, rear after year, had returned to their naafi in the Old pear trees that Stood iii the yard. were singing their sweetest songis,and•wh'en the blue sky bent over us, we bade ' .frirewell to the spot, looking back with wistful eye lentil every trace of our home had disappeared. Good-bye; forever, to the, dear old home, where now titled foot-steps tread and other children 'play than those of other days. The lights and shadows of yeses have fallen upon thee since that summer tworning.and with them have come ebonies to thee as well as to The trees, whose branches swept the roof above my window, making often sad muate when tuned by the autumn wind, has beep cut away; and the robins, who brought to 'us the first tidings of coming spring,have died hr gime to other haunts. ••The moss-covered bucket whIFI bung In the well" has been removed; the curb; whose edges were worn by our childish hands; Is gone ; while in place of the violets and daises which once blossomed on the grassy lawn, the thistle and the burdock now are groWing, and the red and whip rose bush by the door, from whence they plucked the roses and buds which strewed the coffin lids Of a brother and sister, Is now dead .
