“When I was a young girl we lived, as
von know, in Camilla, in one of th e sm a ll
! fake shore towel!. between Toronto act!,
I Kingston. 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.

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

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,

saw thoroughly the whole ma mei' re, and

"After dinner we lolled about on the

were kept for hire, and it fair prop.' tion

"It was half past three o'clock when
we entered near the tower and drew the

to the shore of the lake. This tower,
with its lean-to-kitchen or, rather. cook

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

the garrulous old servant in entrge show

"We stole down b y the light of a lan

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.
The tall rice was all about me, and I knew
no mot- until a deadly sickness and
great pain woke me to consciont , nes-t.,
%Vas it the gurgling water or human
tired' that runinird in my ears ? 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. Finding they could no longer put
me off. they told me that Harry rescued
the and swam with me toward the islet,
where one of the boats had just landed.
Another gentler.= waded out breast
high to meet, him , and, drew ma to the
shore, supposing that harry 'was follow
ing. 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. Would
you marry me ?

blandly, "the doctor prescribes, but be
doesn't - takellis own medicines."
"Haven't you mistaken the pew. sir ?"
blandly asked a Sunday Chesterfield to a
stranger as lie entered it. "I beg your
pardon," replied the individual, rising to
gopnt, I fear I have ; I thought it Was a
Chrstian's."
Rum and Romance.
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

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

The oickets were removed and the next

stopped at hotlines' home. Three weeks

Just fifty years ago;
Her eyes were bright,
Her step was light,
Her voice was sweet and low.
In April was our wedding day—
The maiden month you know,
Of tears and smiles
And wilful wiles,
And flowers that spring from snow.
My love cast down her dear, dark ayes
As if she fain would hide
From my fond sight
Her own delight,
Half shy yet happy bride.
But blushes told the tale, Instead,
As plain as words could speak,
In dewily red
That overspread
My darling's dainty cheek.
For twice six years nnn more I watched
Her fairer grow each day—
.. My babes were blest
Upon her breast,
And she was pure as they.
'And then an angel touched nu eyes,
And turned my day to night,
That fading charms
Of time's alarms
Might never-vex my sight.
Thus sitting in the dark I see
My darling as of yore—
With blushing face
And winsome grace,
Unchanged, forevermore.

Whose Bpeng time grace .

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

to be amused, ea most of the audience do, are

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.
