''For ChriistiDc!'' tbe stranger re peated, as he tojk his place at tho ta ble, while the old voma, with a ringing laugb, suumed tbe cams once more, and again the game went on. It was a wi!d, weird scene, which perhaps, could not have bica wit nessed ia any other part cf the globe. A group of meu ia every descrip tion of dress, numbering no less than a hundred, stood looking on some in silence, some uttering oaths and bandying coarse jokes, as they watch ed Madame Dupray, the wickedest woman in the Colonies, fleece her last victim. Two weeks before she had an nounced that she should set her daughter up to be played for. If the man lost Lc was to pay mauaine one hundred pounds; if he won Chris tine was to pass into his hands; the madam's control over her at an end! This was madam's latest desperate game, and in anticipation of this she had kept her daughter in seclusion. Only a few had ever looked upon her face, and those few raved so about ber beauty that it inflamed tho hearts of their comrades. ' To-night she had s'.ood before them Never had their eyes fallen on such' loveliness Madame arrayed ber in costly roUes; but even though she bad been clad in rags, her riefc, radi ant, dusky beauty wouid have bewil dercd the eye. Her beauty infatuated the beholder, and one by one tho men advanced and flung down their one hundred pound stake, and one by one they arose defeated, while madam's ser vant swept the gold awav. Some lisle J.but the game went on; others played game after game, un til their pockets were cleaned out, be fore they would give up. .Madame was exultant; sue was reaping a rich harvest to-night What a lucky thought it had been! Her skill in cards was something almost infernal, as many poor fel lows could attest to their sorrow. Hardly a miner, with his bag of gold came down from the mountains whom the madame did not lure into ber dn; and once in, the facination would be so strong that, wheu they went out, they did so ruined. Some bad re trieved their fortunes; others "had gone to the dogs," and many a poor fellow had filled a suicide's grave. To-night but few had intended to ulay when they entered, but now the last victim was sitting down. He kept his hat slouched ovir his eyes; no one knew him. He had dropped in to look on; he had no intention to have anything to do with this "hellish game," as he called it. Madame played like one possessed, but her good luck wa3 leaving her. She laid down no card that her oppo nent could not defeat; and, as tbe game progressed, stillness reigned, every sound died out all were ab sorbed in seeing if indeed, Christine Dupray was to be won to-night. One card more! Madame threw the pack on the floor in a rage, and' the stranger arose, sayin?: "Christine is mine!" A wild deafening cry arose; though defeated themselves, the men were glad that some one had won her game Chris- Madame could not play that over. The stranger advanced to tine; be saw tbe wild look of affright in her beautiful, dusky eyes, and his intuitively became softer and he eaidd (Jet your bat. Ibis is no place for you. You will be safer with me than here," glancing around upoo the rough wild group As one in a dream she obeyed him, and the men parted to let them pass oat. Madame said no word of adieu to her daughter; she only muttered curses upon the fellow whose skill was greater than ber own. Tbe stranger took tbe girl to a ho tel, and early next morning he took her to "parts unknown" to those who had tried to win her: but in re ality, only to place her in a good boarding bouse in one of the cities. He paid for a year's tuition in ad vance. He gave them his address and wished them to write twice a year and inform of her progress; and then, bidding the girl t keep to her self nil her history, he took his de parture". Four years passed away. Chris tine's beauty had increased, not diminished. She had not looked up on her guardian's fact (for as such she spoke of her owner,) but he was ever in her mind, assoiiited with that awful night Even now, all the swarm of wild laces swam before her vision and made her sick at heart. Fiom a little, ignorant fourteen-year old she bad develaped into a glowing, educated, refined young lady of eigh teen; and now a letter came, address ed to herself, it read: ESTABLISHED, 18 3 PA., WEDNESDAY.JUNE 16. 1S75. "It is four years since I saw you. Your school-days are drawing to a close. I am coming to ask you to be my wife, and go with me to a home of your own." There was no word that she be longed to him, nothing that indicated his ownership of licr, but she shrank back from that letter with affright. She could not meet this man! She dare not meet him! What must she do? She went out into the open air. At a little distance she could see a steamer at the wabrf, almost ready to leave for the Australian shore. A wild thought of escape came into her mind. She had been kept well sup plied with money which she had made but little use of. Perhaps she bad enough to take her far away. She returned to the school, secured her money and jewelry, nnd then hastened to the LoaL ; She had just time to write a note before the plank was pulled in, and amid cheers and good-byes, the boat started on her journey. She pur chased a ticket, making an excuse for coming so late that she had just re ceived a letter which summoned her to England. Two days later, Mr. Ilardcliffe j made his appearance at tho school and ask for his ward, Christine. The matron handed him a sealed envelope. It contained the note she had scrib bled on the moment of her departure. She wrote: "I cannot stay to meet you. now on board the Eagle, and I am before I am I re- you get this will be far away, not going out of ingratitude. member what you have done for me; you rescued me from degradation worse than death, and have given me an education which but few in this country receive. And now out of the goodness of your heart, not know ing how else to dispose of me, you are willing to marry, aic rather tban allow me to be cast upon the world friendless. Such an act I cannot permit. You shall not be bound to Christine Dupray, daughter of 'the wickedest woman in the Collonies.' The blight would be fata) to us both. I leave my thanks, and Christine will pray for yon as long as the breath of lile- is in her body. Farewell for ever." He re-read the note, and then turued to the preceptress, who was standing nervouslr awaiting him to speak. "My protege has gone to Eng land," he said, quietly. "Sho could not wait to consult me. I hope she had enough to defray her expenses." The woman breathed more freely. She had a expected scene expected to be upbraided for not keeping a stricter watch over her pupil. "I think she had," she answered. "Yon wrmrm rm-wy HIBrl la your &I- lowance of rpending money, and Miss Christine was vcrv careful; she never frittered it away as other girls do."

Almost at the last moment, when his courage was beginning to fail, he had struck upon such a streak of gold, in Golden Gulch, thxt his fortune was made in a few days. Then word came to him that his un cle was dead, and he came into the HardcliHe property and title. He sailed for England, and went to his new home. Everytling was strange to him. She customs of his country, the stillness of his new life everything was dull tad he gave up and went to I'aris, to see' if he could there be amused for .a little while. Mademoiselle Santelli was adver tised and many were flocking to see her. Sne was the new cantatrice about a horn all men were going cra zy. Her beauty and her voice were raved about, until Guy Hardcliffe determined to go and see for him self. Once iu the building he was spell bound. In the beautiful creature, whose glowing loveliness infatuated all who went to 6ce or hear her, ho recognized the girl he had won by a game of cards Christine Dupray! He watched, he listened and in that hour he felt his doom was seal ed. No woman had ever thrilled him as this woman did; no woman had ever seemed tho same. He made no remarks, bnt asked his friend her history. "She came from Australia," his friend said "an orphan, alone. Her voice, on shipboard, attracted the attention of old Mezzo, and he engaged her to go to Italy abd have ber talents educated. She did so; and when he introduced her, to the public she was immediately success ful. Men were mad about ber," he continued, "where ever she went; and Mezzo's widowed sister traveled with her and took care of her, and no one could say a word derogatory to her." Ilardcliffe listened like one in a dream. "Introduce roe," he said. When brought in close contact with her, he admired her even more deeply than when she was on tbe stage, tut to him as to the rest she maintained a cold politeness. He knew that she did not recognize him, for be had changed in appearance, and bis true name she had never known. Day by day he haunted ber, and when she was about to leave Paris, he suddenly became frenzied, and told her he could not live withont ber lon ger. She listend to his torrent of words with trembling lips, "Do not say more," she pleaded, "You know not what you ask. I shall never marry." "Why not?" "My past," she said, quietly "I can not reveal it and it forbids Bach a thing." He approached nearer. "Christine." he said, softly "Christine, I know it all, and there is nothing in it that should separate as." "You you" she faltered "were tue" "The man who won you; Chris tine, let me win you again," And he did. He never regretted having won for his wife the Chris 7. tine ho won from tho "wickedest wo man in tho Colonies," ho confessed at the last moment of her life that she was not her own daughter, but only an adopted child. AUvcnlorers of two f'lsherinen. SrtonoLA, Pa., May 20. Samuel L. Downs and. W. C. Reeves, of Rochester, have been trout fishing for three or four days on the streams this vicinity. On Tuesday they went out to lish at Taylor's creek, a branch of the Shohola, about five miles from this station. The stream traverses a wild and hilly section, and for some days the - woods have been on fire for miles along its conrse. Tbe men had fished up two miles above its mouth, wheu the fire ap proached so near the stream on both sides that they were compelled to stop, and started to retrace their steps. They had proceeded but a short distance on their return when they were alarmed to find that the fire bad closed into the stream in that direction also. High and precipi tous hills rise on either side of the stream t the point wierc they were, and even if tho fire had net covered them, escape in that direction would have been very difficult. To add to on the. peril of the ntuation. the fires both above and Ltlv them were rapidly approaching one another and reducing the space in which the fish ermen found themselves confined. The i.:iderbrush also in that locality grows down to the water s edge, and dead logs and dry branches lay across the stream. To these the flames communicated readilv, and in a comparatively short time the fish ermen were hemmed in on all sides by fire: At the spot where thev were they were forced to halt ia a deep pool, at the foot of the fall some ten feet high. This pool is about twen ty feet wide and very deep. Downs, seeing that there was no hope of es cape in any other way, suggested to his companion that they must plunge into and remain there, if possible, until the fire had so far exhausted itself along the strsain 88 to permit of their wading down tbe creek un til they got below the burning woods. A new difficulty here presented itself. Reeve3 could not swim, and the wa ter in the centre of the pool, where they must necessarily take their po sition, was over their heads. The heat was now becoming intense, and the smoke almost suffocating. There was but one thing to be done. Downs shoved a piece of pine log into the stream, and supporting Reeves with one arm, swam to the cent.-o of the pool. Ry the aid of the bit of log he was enabled to keep both his com panion and himself afloat until they reached tbe foot of tbe fall, where a protecting rock offered the former a firm hold for hi Land, and by which be kept bis head above the water. iney aiiowea as mucn oi tbe raninsr water to cover them as they could with safety, and in that trying situ ation awaited the passing fury of the flames. Fortunately, no branches or dead trees projected into tjie stream where the fishermen sought refuse, and they had nothing to fear from direct contact with the fire. But the beat from tho flames, which were at at no time more than ten feet away on either side was almost unbearable. The men would endure it as long as possible, and then duck their beads beneath tbe water and keep them there until they were forced to again emerge for air. Added to the suffer ings of Reeves was the circumstance of his being obliged to hang suspend ed by his hands from the rock, scarce ly any water touching them, lie could not find a foothold, acd eased his hands from the heat by literally dipping first one and then the other under the water, .tor a quarter or an hour the agony was continued, when Reeves, exclaiming that he would rather drown than suffer lon ger, released his hold and disappear ed under the water. When he reap peared he was some feet below, and bad touched bottom. Dawns shouted to him to hava courage, as ire worst was over. Reeves, without a word, waded on down the stream, and reaching shallow water, ran &4 fast as he could Cetwcen the moeh-re-duced flames that lined both sides of the creek, and emerged, with hair and flesh singed and blistered, below the burning woods. Downs retained his position in the stream until the fires from below and above had met, and tbe flame gradu ally clinied up the mountains, and then made his way down stream through the smoke and still red hot embers along the shore, and found his companion about a quarter oi a mile below. The latter was consid erably burned about the face, while his bands were tearfully biisterea, ia fending burning brush and branch es from his face as be left the pool. Both men were so much exhausted that it was a long time before they could proceed. Tbey walked to a farm bouse about half a mile from the creek, where their wants were attended to. Yesterday they took train 2Co. 5 on the Erie for home. They left their rods and baskets at tbe scene of their adventure, and they were in all likelihood consumed by tbe fire. rielsl Beaa. The bean crop is worthy a place ia a rotation, not only for its profit, but for influence upon the soil. It takes liLtle from the soil ; is a clean ing crop: requires little outlay for seed, occupies the ground bat a short time, and may follow a crop of clover the same 6eason, if an early ripening variety ia chosen. The "Medium" ripens early, is hardy, but sells at a lower price than the "Marrow" is very productive on a good soil, and is a popular market variety. If properly harvested, the 'haulm is much relished by sheep, and is no tritious. Tbe bean, when 'ground with corn or oats, is readily eaten, and wben cooked, pigs will accept it with avidity. No food is better for a growing animal, nor contains more flesh-forming elements than this bean. The idea, however, that , beans may be grown with profit upon a soil too poor for any other crop, is errone ous. American Agriculturist. A Maidens prayer "pspa boy me a new spring suit." Herald Hqucezlnsr Oat Money. According to a writer, an early French monarch having in vaia en deavored to keep his treasury full by issuing paper money, tried a system of "squeezing'' the rich contractor? and others. As informers were to have half the product of the squeeze, an offended Iackv had only to tie nouncc his master, and get him tried oa a charge of havinor made too much money. Woe to the plebeian who was convicted of this crime! Besides being despoiled cf his prop erty. ParisJ saw him, naked to the shirt, a rope round his neck, a peni tential candle in his handcuffed bands, tied to a dirty cart and dragged to the pillory, carrying on his back a large label: "Plunderer of the Peo ple." The French pillory was a re volving platform, so that all the crowd had an equal chance to hurl mud and execration at the nxcu ana pailid face. Judge if there was not a making haste to compound with a government capable of such squeez ing! There was also a mounting in hot baste to get out of such a France. One lucky merchant crossed the frontier, dressed as a peasant, driving a cart-load of straw, under which was a chest of gold. A train of four teen quarts loaded with barrels of wine was stopped, and in each barrel a keg of gold was found, which was emptied into the royal treasury. 1 ha universal consternation and the utter paralysis of business which resulted from these violent spoilia tions may be imagined. Six thous and persons were tried.who confessed to tho possession of twelve hundred millions of francs. Tbe number of tbe condemned was four thousand four hundred and ten, and the sum extorted from tbem was, nominally, nearly four brndred millions, of which, however. Ies3 than one hun dred millions reached tho treasury. It was easy for a rich man to com pound. A person condemned to dis gorgo twelve hundred thousand francs was visited by a "great lord." "Uive me three hundred thousand francs," said the great lord, "and you won't be troubled for the rest." To which the merchant replied: "Really lord, you came too late, for I hare already mado a bargain with raadame, your wifo.for a hundred and fifty thousand." Thus tbe business of busy and frugal France was brought to a stand without relieving the government. A u ltaltittite tcieailal.

There came to St. Louis from the Lake Superior regions, says the AV publican, one of the largest speci mens of native copper ever trans ported a long distance. TLe mass is heart-shaped, and weigLa 0,000 pounds, almost double tbe weight of the famous bowlder which was trans ported many years ago from the same region ti the Smithsonian Institute at a cost to the government of $.".$ 9. The specimen brought here exhibits the pure copper to the eye, and con tains ninety-eight per "cent ef the rretal. It may be seen lying on skids at the southeast corner of the Lindeil Hote1, where it has been examined by crowds of people. The speciu.cn was taken out from an ancient dig ging sixteen and a half feet below tho surface by a Mr. I'aris, who has ?)cnt twenty-five year3 ia copper mining. The mass, when found, had evidently been detached from it3 bed by the ancient miners. A number of pieces of copper besides tho mass were found, weighing fr un an ounce to seventeen pounds, wh eb were evi dently clippings ly the old miners. Stone hammers weighing from ten to thirty pounds have been found in cart loads, several specimens of which mentioned have been brought to this city. Thee were the primitive tools with which these ancient miners had to do their work. These tocls are foand cither perfect or broken from w.l A 1 use, ana tbe iragments are iouau scattered through the debri. It has been computed that two hundred of these old miners with their rude methods could barely be equivalent to two of the skilled miners of the present day. Who and to what race they belonged, and at what time these people flourished, is not satis factorily known, and can only bo the subject of conjecture. The only plausible assumption is that they be longed to the ancient mound builders and worked ia metals long anterior to the Indian races, as evidences of their occupancy were seen by the eaily Jesuit explorers, and the speci mens which they clipped from the copper rocks are found scattered ever the whole continent.

Picking the ears is a most mischie vous practice ; ia attemptieg to do this with hard substances an unlucky motion has many a time pierced the drum and made it as useless as a pierced India rubber life preserver; nothing sharper or harder than the end of the little finger, with the nail paired, ought ever to be introduced into tbe ear, unless by a physician. Persons are often seen endeavoring to remove the "wax" of the ear with the head of a pin ; this ought never to be done; first, because it not only endangers the rupture of the ear by being pushed too far into it, but if not so far, it may grate against the drum, excite inflamation and on ulcer which will finally eat all tbe parts away, especially of a scrofulous constitu tion ; second, hard substances have often slipped in, and caused the ne osssity ol painful, dangerous and ex pensive operations to fist or cut out ; third, the wax is manufactured by nature to guard the entrance from dust, insects and unmidiEed cold air, and when it has subserved its pur pose it becomes dry, scaly, light, and in this condition is easily pushed outside by new formations of wax within. The llisbeit Sleaalala ia tbe World. For many years past Mount Ever-1 est, in that portion or the great Him alaya raneo which occupies tbe west- Am nrt of the stranre Kinrdom of Nepaul, immediately north of India, has been regarded as the highest nioantain in the world. It is known to the Nepaulese as Guarisanker, but the English name is Everest, ia hon or of a distinguished officer of the British Indian topographical survey. Its snow-capped summit is 29,002. or nearly five miles and a half, above the level of the sea. Of course no dub has over ascended it to this KAio-Kt hut its altitude, liko that of the other lofty peaks of the Himalaya, was ascertained by triangulation ; and until tbe present time it has not been supposed that any higher land existed on the earth. If the news be true, however, which has lately come to us from the more distant east, there is a lofti er peak than Moant Everest in tbe goat island cf Papau or New Guinea. This vast region, extensive enougTi to form six states as large as ew York, is as yet almost wholly unex plored, except along its coast . . Ly ing close to the equator, where the Indian oceaa and the Pacific meet, it is the borne of the cassowary and the bird of paradise, a country grand id its scenery, rich ia its vegetation, and abauding ia carious and beaatifa &raii of animal life the Tariuble oaderland of the globe.

They passed through dense forests iu the first two thous and feet of perpendieplar progress, found the limit of tree growth at elev en thousand feet, and by nine o'clock had reached a point fourteen thous and feet above the r-ea level almost as high as tho famous Matter horn. A thousand feet higher was the snow line, and they began M sufer from the cold. As they passed on drowsiness began to overcome them. "Nothing was to be seen but snow'ofthe mostdazling whitenes. Every peak and crag was covered with it, and it hung over tho edges of the c'iffs in long fleecy masses."

At the narrows of Obydos, six hundred miies from the sea half a million cubic feet of wa ter pass any given point every sec ond. Born in Lako Lauricocha, among the Andes of Peru, the main trunk runs northerly for five hundred miles in acontinuous series of rapids, and then, 'rom the frontie-s of Ecua dor, it flows easterly twenty-five hundred miles across tho equatorial plain of tho continent. The average current cf tho frreat river in its pas sage through Brazil is three miies aa hour. At Tabotinga, two thousand miles from its mouth, the width is a mile and a half, with a depth of elev en fathoms; at the entrance of th Maderia, it is three miles wide, and below Saataren it is ten. Tho tribu taries are in keeping with thia colos sal truck. Ia fact, the Amozon is a Teat river. It has twelve affluents over a thousand miles long, the larg est the Maderia equalling tho Ar kansas entering tho Amazon nine hundred mi'e3 from its mouth.
