Your grandfather war. a man of note in the town, and I was a good deal sought after. I was gidety, too, and selfish. though I did not then consider myself so. I had many admirers and snit ors, among whom the one I liked best was Harry Vane. Front my very infancy Harry had been my gallant, and though I sometimes pretended to be, and some times really was, jealous of him or other wise offended, and be the same with re gard to me, we always made up again and were better friends than ever. There was not really any engagement between us. though Harry had asked me to form onv; but my parents objected to long engage ments, and we were not ready to marry. Matters stood thus when, early one spring we had an addition to our list of beans in the forts. of a dashing young fellow , an Engfishman sent out by a wealthy firm of the mother country fur the purpose of establishing an agency in their line of business. His headquarters had been in Mon'real, but he now announced his in trntion of making our town his home during the summer. "He hat a good deal of leisure, and spent no inconsiderable part or it at our Wise, or in promenading the streets with me. I could scarcely set my feet on the siuewalks wittuitit encountering him. His name was Bowns, and he claimed to be of aristocratic parentage.. He was handsome and affable, though rather su percilious; withal very distingniehed in appearance; so no wonder the girls of our get wished to attract his attention, and were envions of me. Of course I was proud of my conquest, and perhaps car ried myself a little haughtily in conse quence. For some time Harry pouted, then openly remonstrated, even pleaded; but as I angrily asserted my indepen denc, he finally desisted from all appa rent notice of t`te matter ; and whenever we met he treated me with indifferent courtesy, and altogether showed a mail, self command which I did not fail to ad mire. Still I mast confess that at that time I gave very little thought to Harry or to any of my old admirers; it seems wonderful to me how completely I was facinated by the prepossessing stranger. "To be sure - he littered my vanity not a little, and my empty head was turned by his lavish, adulatory style of compli ments. He raved abotit my eyeit of hear enly blue, the golden glory of my mer maid locks, my swan like neck, and an endless flow of pathos that ought to have disgustedme,-but did' not ; and so I list ened and he ranted. About the middle of August we made up among our set a picnic party to drive out to Rice lake Plains and spend the day in boating on the lake, gathering huckleberries, wild flowers, etc., and generally amusingemr• selves. POETRY. PANers SPELL. MONTRQSE, PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 1874. 'lCou must know that there is an it , r-gular chain of moll lakes extending transeversery from the Bay of Quinte, near the eastern end of Lake Ontario, to the eastern end of Lake Superior. Rice Lake is the first of the chain counting from Ontario, and it lies at a distance of from two to three hour? drive from sev eral small towns on the frontier. We had en early breakfast, and set off at eight o'clock, so that we need not he on the road during the heat of the day, There were several carriages; the one in which I rode was a handsome barouche hired from n livery stable for the occasion, and by my side sat the all.conquering Mr. Bowns. "Por some unexplained reason Harry Vane did not to in any of the carriages, but was mounted on horseback, and he rode gaily by the side of first one vehicle. then another. When we had gone a lit tle distance out of town the cimntry air. sights aid sounds were so exhilarating that we in our carriage began tc sing. Harry, hearing us, rode up and joined in the song, he Icing particularly fond of singling. Shortly we struck °Cato an old ditty which he and I had sung to gether countless times when we stood each first in the esteem of the otht•r and no guy stringer had conic between us. For a stanza or two Harry sang bravely, lint when we came In the refrain sudden ly his horse bolted and he rode otr. catch ing at his hat with mar hand. and seem• mg to draw rein u ith the other. The re mainder of the party t houg ht his h o ts.. had shied and ran away with him, but I saw thoroughly the whole ma mei' re, and a sudden pang shot through my eel fish heart. "On reaching the lake at the point agreed upon, we mcparated into little com panies, and . wab rtde d about at will. but keeping within the vicinity of the camp until the horn Founded for dinner. We were all, an to usual at picnics. in a bun ziy mood, and we did not dine minc.ng- Iv. "After dinner we lolled about on the grass for awhile, then rimed plans for the aftertmou's campaign.

"It was half past three o'clock when we entered near the tower and drew the Louts npini the 11, ;telt. This tower was an octagon building three or four stories heiphr, consist mg of only one room to each story, with a narrow spiral i.tairrase leading from base to summit.

This tower, with its lean-to-kitchen or, rather. cook house, was built on a hill at the distance of about two hundred vard• from the wa ter's edge. and it was the product of a quixotic Englishman, en old bachelor's fancy. The whimsical man did At curry out his original intention of making a complete miniature castle of the fella times, but suddenly abandoned the enter prise and went as he came, nobody knew whither. This odd little tower had been surrounded on all shies. save the deep bank next the water, by a dindmitive moat, which was now a dry ditch filled with weeils and wild flow, ra; there, too, wits the wreck of a toy like drawbridge, and within the enclosure were several quaint lookirg garden chairs cut into the stumps of trees. There was a family re siding in the house, at least they made it an occasional residence daring the sum mer, but that day the y were absent, and the garrulous old servant in entrge show ed us over the premises. "We stole down b y the light of a lan tern through the un derground passage to the opening on the lake ; we climbed the steep stairs and peeped through the old spy glass; sat in the grotesque chairs, and gathered bouquets from the quondam mem , . All these rag:tines consumed so much time that, 'before we were aware, the sun was going Crown the westward elope in a warthat,''when 'we noticed it. sent ns to our :finals with speed.

The thrtie boats kept near -togeth er, and aa.tre ,wvat we sang Tom aoore'fi Canadian boat song. Jnst as our voices were ringing out "'Row, brothers mw, for the stream runs last, The rapids are near, and the day light is past,' a sudden breeze almost took the light umbrella with which I was screening myself and companion from sun and wind (we head left our bonnets at the comfy) out of my hand.

'Looking around the horizon we dis c/weird the cause of the suddenly rising wind. Ahe ivy pale of black clouds com ing up behind us In the northwest were sprevidiug'theinselves along the northern horizon and extending upward almost to the zenith; and at the same time we be gall to hear the thunder mutter and see the lightning play, though not very near. The weather wise ones of our party surd the shower was spending itself north of Devoted to the Interests of oar Town nd County. ns, but we might get espi inkling from its skirts and the wind was sure to be troublesome. "Meanwhile we had crossed the lake and were making our way down to the landing adjoining, which was our camp, keeping close in shore to avoid the com motion of the' Water. "There is a peculiarity in that lake. The wild rice, from which it takes its name.'grows over almost the entire bot tom of the basin, and when at tallest the grain lies floating on the surface of the water, and the "Indians, when it is ripe, paddle round and gather it into their ca• noes. This, however, makes navigatiob to ordinary rowers rather difficult ; and where the twill is particularly shallow or when the waters are agitated by storms the passage is perilous. "I soon perceived that Bowne and George Law were by no MIMS masters of the situation; and oh, how I longed for the tried and trusty arm of Harry Vane hi steer our giddy little skiff. Just then Harry. who was a:iead, called out to us to make for an islet, a little way out in the hike, on one side of which there was not much rice, and which had been used by the Indians as a landing place, as it slop ed gradually into the water, he said we had better land there and wait for the squall to pass over. 'The rowers turned the boat toward the islet anti pushed out vigorously, I meantime holding the umbrella law like a tent ur awning over my own and Nellie Morton's head, for now it was raining. Again Harry called to us to shutdown the umbrella, lest it should catch the wind and upset our skill; and the next moment [towns. who had nut said one word to us girls since the wind sprung up, snapped out, 'yes, certainly, down with that um brella!' "What with a sense of danger. and what with sodden consternation ut being spoken to in sitch a tone and manner, I had nu sdf command, and in shutting he nmhrella I somehow lost ins balance, and the next instant I was sinking in the blinding waters. ' I must have risen very quickly, for the ' boat was there and I laid my hand on its side, but quick as a flash Bowies hand emne down on mine, and though he af terward said that he tried to lay hold of me to assist me, I know that he dislodged Inv hand. True, 1 should have upset the boat, and Putt as true he flung me off to p-rich. As I sank again, even through the gurg'ing in my ears, I heard the voice of Harry Vane, 'Courage, Char lotte, I'm coming." "Again I rise and again sank. Then I ceased to struggle and the pain of snffo cat ion was gone. I knew that I was dy ing. and Itke electr city all my past, life, flashed before me. 1 had no terror ,qf drab,l longed to ask Harry's par don. Downs I erionrd to have forgotten.

I did not know, I did not care ; I only wished nut to he disturbed—not to suffer. Slowly my comprehendon returned and I found myselt on a bed in the log eithm of the man who kept the boats on hire. and it was night,for candles were bunting. Some of my companions of the picnic , were there, but I was too ill and weary to ask questions. ••When next I - opened my eyes it was daylight and my father and mother were betiding or r me. `•Snldenly I remembered something of the drowning and cried out, 'Where is harry ? lle said he was coming." "They hushed and soothed me and I supposed administered in narcotic, for I have only a faint recollection of lying on in bed in a covered conveyance and of be ing an noyed by-the jolting: "The next time I awoke my mind was clear. I recollected all, and by.gged to be told how I was saved. My friends eva ded this question, and my suspicions be ing aroused, I demanded to see Harry Vane.

But Harry (1A not follow, and in the excitement about me he wits notmiss ed until too late. Whether he was ex hausted or whether he took a cramp no one could tell. This only I know and never shall forget : Harry Vane was drowned in saving my lire. This also I know : . I shall hie and die Charlotte Kemp. As for Bowns, I hated then, I hate etill,the sound of his name. He left our town alutost Itimardiotply after th e occurrence and I never saw his nu,,.. otter the day of the picnic." Anecdote of Dr.Coborros —o— The following anecdote is told of Dr. Cabarrus, the great homeiipathic physi cian who has just died in Paris : Mlle Julia Barran was oat of sorts,and sent for him. "What is the matter ? asked the doc tor. "Oh, I hardly know mysof," she re plied, my spirits are terribly iineonal. Sometimes 1 am greatly elated ; and then I suddenly sink into the deepest melan cholly." Alter a moment's reflection Cabarrus said gravely : "I am afraid there is but one way to cure you." ~ "What is it 7-,she inittitred eagerly. "You must get married," he replied, with a mirthful •twinkle in Ills eye but still keeping agave face. "Well."' said Mlle Barran, after a little hesitation, followed by a long drawn sigh of relief ; "perhaps you are right.

Claude Melnotte (that insn't his name but it will answer for this sketch) kept one of the cosiest little restaurants in the - country, and berme the time of the cru sade his parlors were frequented by the elite of the town, of both sexes. But Claude sold beer, and when Dio Lewis opened the eyes of the women of Ohio, the ladies of that village suddenly dis covered that he was not the gentlemanly caterer they bad taken him to be, Mies wolf in sheep's ellothing, an enemy of mankind in disguise, a criminal and a villinu of the deepest dye. It is wonder ful how wise some people become When they listen to the wisdom of sapient ora tors. Claude was hanosome: intelligent, affable, and had always been a favorite among the Indies until they al! at once discovered that because he doled out beer he was a monster and must be sup pt eased So the crusaders attacked his restam rant, and when they found that would net shut it up and beggar him, they picketed IL }or weeks Claude held out against the Beige, and was always so kind to the pickets that there began to be a reaction in the minds of some of the cru saders, and they came to think that he was a tolerable good sort of a fellow af ter all—but his business was so horrible. One day Pauline (that is what it will be appropriate to call her) and Mary S-- were "on duty" at Claude's restaurant. At noon Mary left for dinner. - - • . The day was cold and stormy, bnt Pauline was a heroine and braved the weather well. After a while Claude went to the door and said : "Pauline, you must be very cold out there. Won't you phase move your chair just inside the door '" Pauline's blue lips quivered with the cold as she said, "thank you,"and moved her chair inside the door of the restau rant. The comfortable change and Clande's pleasant manner soon warmed Pauline's heart and ahc said : "Oh Claude, why don't you quit this business and let us go home ?" And Claude said, " Pauline, this busi ness has always been repulsive to me and I have meant to leave it soon, butt have been antler a cloud of late and could not. As soon as that vanishes I'll leave here, but. much !as I dislike my business, to hare this e leasaot little to-le-a tele repeat. ed daily, I d jerk beer till doomsdayl And Pauline said, " Oh, Claude. I'd never have done this only to be near you," end further deponent sayeth not, but at the next meeting of the crusaders Pau line was us eloquent as one of their town councilmen in showing the injustice of prosecuting the least objectionable saloon in town and allowing all the rest to go, "Scott free." The oickets were removed and the next Sabbath evening Claude took a walk. He stopped at hotlines' home. Three weeks ago Claude and Pauline were married and are now living very cosily in a few hand some rooms fittd np adjacent to the res taurant. °Wide is universallyeonsidered a good fellow, a great strategist and the posses sor of.the finest little wife in Naverre. Too liloch Enterprise. _o_ An exchange has the story era man on the cars who WIN offered a newspaper. 110 took it, looked at the heading, and then threw it outside with disgust, and then remarked : "I don't want any news from that pa per." " I supposed that everybody read it in these parts," I answered. "has it been pitching into you ?" 'Pitching into me ? Great Ctesar 1. I should say it had. But just let me mee.. the editor of that paper." "You never make anything bystriking an editor," I said; "better grin and bear IL" "Yes ; that's all right for you to say.; but just let me meet him ! show him how to run a paper." "What did he do ?" "Do ? He did a good deal. Here's how it is : I often went up to Spring field on the last train at night, did my business in the evening, and came on the first morning train. Well, one night I met an old crony and we went to Music Hall to the theatre. When we came out we met some friends. They took us to their rooms. Of mune I couldn't get right out, so I treated ; then Jim treated: and the others treated ; in fact we were having a pretty good time, when some fellows came in and begun to raise scow. In less than no time the police were in and had us. The next, morning I was hauled berure the court ar.d fined $7.40. I didiet care much, lieeause I gave a false name, and i hoe. my wife couldn't Hod it out : but the next morning, I'll be eternally flunked if that very paper &dot have it all in and my own name too." "Did your wile see it ?" "I should say she did." "Did she make a fuss "Fuss I Godfrey, Elisha! are yon mar ried ?" "Yea." "Then you know how it is. I have to go to Springfield in the daytime now. Jest let me see that editor once 1" " But," said I, feeling I ought to take a newspaper's part, "yon can hardly blame bun, you know. It was only the proper enterprise."

TEE CO,OIO GOSPEL. -0-- It appears that for some months past much excitement has been produced In Edinburgh and other towns in Scotland by the singular exer cises of a couple of Itinerant Americans—Mr. Moody and Mr. Sankey. For a very long time no entertainment has been so popular in Edin burgh as that which goes by the name of these gentlemen. It Is attended by overfloring aud iences. Crowds of enthusiasts follow the per ton:ners from one place to another, for it Is part of their system to have as much variety as poe. aibte, and to bold their meetings in all sorts of different buildings—in town-halls.lecture-moms and churches of all denominations. The meet ings are held at all hours of the day, and some arc for young men some for mothers, others fur fathers, others for young women, ,clerks, stu dents, or little children. Snriosily ,is stimula ted by huge placards on the walls, and several pettodiealscommand a large Sap by describing the performances.. The nature of-the exhibi. lion is stated in the following announcement : "At 0;30p. m. Mr. Moody will preach - the Gos pel, and Mr. Sankey will sing the Gospel."— Mr. Moody and Mr. Sankey - are Americans from Chicago,and we learn from one of their organs that Weir visit to Scotland was prompted by a feeling that the churches there stood "specially in need of the application of those brisker,live lier, more direct modes of appeal which are characteristic of America." Mr- Moody, we are further told, is "not a man of much educa tion or ashore; the manner is abrupt and blunt; his sperfli-bristles with Americanisms; his voice is Sharp, rapid, and colloquial ", He is re markable for his want of sanctimoniousnem,and "a play 01 humor sports out sometimes is his most acrious addresseL" He interlards his lec tures pith thi;ll. or wonderful stories,or, as the writer puts it, "he has in his possession a large number of incidents and experiencei Well fitted to throw light on the points he employs them to elacitiateand to clinch the appeals which he uses them to enforce." In the intervals of Mr. Moody's lectures, Mr. Sankey sings hymns.— "Abhorring the notion of providing a musical entertilernent merely to please those who are not in the Kingdom of God," he seeks to move :by troth expressed in the most winning tones.' It is also "In subservience to spiritual ends that 'Mr. Sankey uses the harmonium." Sankey^s "'Sacred ficlos" are sold by the thousand; and - his example and exhortations are also said to 'have given a great impulse to the trade In har: mordants. The sort of entertainment which is thus presented may be' gathered-from the-de scriptions given by persons who profess to hive enjoyed it. "We kre having a very good time just now," writes one ; "old Formality has got his neck broken." "On Friday night," says an other, "after Mr. Moody's solemn word, there seemed to be a great smashing up of souls."— The audience is alternately moved to laughter and teats. The Gospel Is preached not only with the pronunciation, but in the dialect of Chicago ; and the result is no doubt something very different from that to which Scotch con gregations are accustomed. Jokes, slang, stor ies, and sensational exclamations are freely In terspersed. Mr. Moody's strange accents and "spurts of humor" work np the people into a state of excitement In which It is as easy to cry as laugh, A parable translated Into this lan guage or Artetnua Ward, and enlivened by touchesof Yankee wit,ls a novel senutionAnd the effect k enhanced by a sudden change to startling threats of damnatinn. and tlPPeals to come and be saved. Then comes Sankey's live ly a 10 , sung in very good style to . a melody that might pass for secula- in a worldly concert room hut for the words. People who go only to be amused, ea most of the audience do, are proridtd with a curious and racy entertain ment, quite as good in its way as the Christy Minstrels. Others of an impressible tempera- , ment are throWn into more or less violent, par. oxysms of hysterical emotion, Those who are acquainted with the history of revivals will recognize to the agitation which has ban carried on In Edinburgh and else where a repetition, in ti slightly modiflea farm, of the ordinary type of these disorders. Timm are different methods of rettloglatoxlestettand this Is one of them.. Nothing is easier than for a skilled 'and daring expert in revive:l3m to work upon the nerves and feelings of weak,sus• ceptiblo persons,so as to throw the blood to the head, and bring on all the symptone of violent excitement.

It can readily be understood that;ari one of these papers say; "hundreds of young persons who were formerly accustomed to go to the theatre, opera, and pantomime, gays up deliberately, and from farce of conviction at tended the prayer-meetings ;" but the explana tion in a great many Cans is no doubt that the prayer-meetings were found to be more annua• ing and stimulating. One of Mr. Moody's most screaming hits; as they say In the play-M1.8,1s a mock representation of a court of law for the trial of deans Christ.

This sort of roaring fun goes beyond anything on the stage. it'll bard to say whether the treatment of religion in this manner does most harm by bringingsa ered things into ridicule. ; by aiticting some' fee. ble minds with idle agony, or by overbalancing others with The inflation of self righteous arm. genets and conceit. There is not the faintest. trace of educated inteligence or spiritual ele• ration in Mr. Moot .% harangues. They are a mere gabble of teats, interspersed with gro tesque or sensational anecdotes, and Spiced vial vulgar American Stang. The mestattra. ordinary feature of lior ngltation is that It should he connived at and patronized by -the clergy of Edinburgh and other towns t It Is obvious that, If Moody and Sankey are right* their mode of preaching the Gospel, and If the success of these performances h really a great awakening and the Power of the Holy Ghost in Scotland, the ordinary services of religion ' must be a melancholy farce. Everybody who has been in Scotland must have been struck. with the severe endurance and .fortitini, with which a Scotch congregation sits out riot onlya long and dreary sermon, but a aeries of prayers which are the worst sort of sermons. In disguise; and it le not surprising that Go. Scotch laity should be thankful fbr a little re laxation. But that the ministers themselirs should comeforward in this maneerto proclaim. publicly that their whole system is aced= Szd . waste of time, is realty strange., It mist ho still more wonderad if, in supporting and rec.. ommending Messrs. Moody and Sankey, • they do not see that they arecondemning themselves. Either a great awakening Is good for their flocks; or it is not; if it is, why do they not take measures to bring it about on their own acccunt t The only Justification which is offer, ed for the ecoontricitieiand buffooneries of the Yankee propaganda is simply that the end jus. tides the means, and that tbe'great thing Is to produce ate impression on the public mind, no matter how. It would appear thereforo that smarms bad .better be abandoned for singing and glory-telling, and there is no logical meson why the reform should stop - here.
