Maude Thornton, with ten thous and a year, and a splendid estate in Warwickshire, was far more miser- alls that dull October daj, beeanse it was raining, than Carroll, the meek companion, who was trying to please ber petolent mistress by an ac count of the fifid interest of some new bock. "It's of no use, Car. To rain like this to-day, too, when Law rence promised to come orer from Kingston !" "You ill forget the rain, if you will only let me read you the first chapter"; it's splendid, Miss Maude," persisted Corroll, opening the brown volume. Miss Thornton stopped her with a gesture. RiDg for my cloak and ehoes, Car; I am going down to the lodge to see nursie." "Miss Maude !" Miss Maude bad turned to the window, and was impetaoasly tap ping the pane. She was still young, with a proud fire in ber face and shining through her dark eyes which was more bewitching than her beau ty. Tall and slight, Maude bad in herited a rare grace of movement from her mother. That mother twenty-four years ago had married the old Squire for his money. They were both dead now, lying together under tho gray stones of the chan- c;l pavement, and Maude was their heiress, tebe lived in tne "big nouse" with an old half-witted aunt and ber companion. It was only a temporary arrange ment, Mande was engaged to be married to her cousin, a dashing young officer, whose regiment was then stationed at r.iogsion. suewss very proud of him, and loved him all the better for his poverty ; for hers was a nature that felt almost too keenly the joy of giving. Lawrence was well pleased, of course, to have the love of the heir eis and to excite the envy of all the other fellows who did'nt see "what Maude Thornton liked in ber yellow haired cousin. " Maude had rebelled fiercely at his manner lately. It was too cour teous, too reserved for a devoted lov er, she inwardly decided, an it was this perhaps that npon that wet day made her so discontented amid all the spler-dcr of t Thornton drawing-room. After a few sharp words Maude obtained cloak and shoe, and went out into the rain. It was coming down more fiercely than ever on the dark leaves and the soft gravel ; but sbe hastened onward bravely enough, down the path and across the bridge, striking away from the main avenue to save time. Parting Thornton grounds from the rectory garden was a high thick fence of laurel, which ran for a few hundred yards in almost straight line. A new thought struck Maud's wuyward mind as she reached the fence ; she would go and see Polly, the rectors little daughter whom Maude patronized very gracefully. As she stood for a moment by the fence, undecided, a low Toice, tremu lous with pain, reached her from the other side. "Poor little Polly ! It is cruel that fate should part two such loving bcaru." It was Lawreuce Gary who spoke. Then came Polly's soft response. "Never mind. Heaven will help us, Captain Uary." "May it help you to be patient, dear!" Maude beard no more: she hastened aw ay, like a guilty thing, back across the bridge, her breath coming in abort gasps, the feverflusn of pain on her cheeks. Carroll met her in the hall, mildly reproachful. " ou 11 laii into a consumption and die, Miss Maude, and then what will Captain Uary do 7 Id sooner have a tame elephant to keep in health." Miss Thornton threw off her cloak with a little bitter laugh. Poi't be cross. Car. I was a great fool to go out I know. I'll eo and dress for dinner, and you can read that book, if you like, dear." She hastened up stairs to her room. and rang for ber maid. "I will wear my new dress to night, Mary and do my bair in coils, please." Maude looked queenly when she came into the drawing room ; she was dressed in black velvet, with square cut ooaies ana ncn lace drooping over ber pretty white arras. 'x on look like a picture, Miss Maude," exclaimed Corroll, admir-ic?,7- - . .. Maude smiled, and seated herself by t - kearth, the firelight playing a ber proud, queenly face and on ber luxuriant hair. She sat there silent and thoughtful, playing with a pictured fire screen, each movement of ber white band causing the rings on ber fingers to flash brightly. "Captain uary I" cried Carroll, at the sound of the wheels on the drive. Maude's color rose a little biger. but she did not even look up when Carroll said something about a book and left the room. He came in unannounced a man of twenty-five, yellow haired, hand some a man any woman with unclaimed heart might have loved. Maude held out ber band with a laugh 1 "i didVt expect you to-night, Law rence." Ue took it gravelv, but didn't at tempt to kiss ber. There was some thing in ber proud face which check ed him. set ESTABLISHED, 18 9 SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY, "What a dreary day, Isn't it?" she saia in ner sonesi tones, clasping ber hands together lest he should see them tremble, and looking at him, ber white lids drooping a little. How beautiful she was! the sol dier's face flushed a little with pride as he looked at this queenly girl, bla promised wife. i "It is rather damp, my darling," he returned gaily. f " She played with the rings on her fingers, loosening one, a bright clus ter of diamonds, and half drawing it ofif. "This old bouse is dreadfully dull. I am utterly miserable here utterly miserable!" -Aiauue j ner lover cried, in grave reproach. Her eyes flashed as she looked op at niin proudly. "Don't you think it must be dull, ?. i . i . 1 1 - witn toese iwo oiu ; women lor mv companions !" ; He bent over ber eagerly. "It must be dull, dear, I know Dou't spend the winter here. Let it form our honeymoon,; passed in sun ny Italy, my darling." Her proud lips quivered with pain. but she laugbd lightly. "1 shall not spend be wioter here. I am going abroad to Paris; I have friends there, and shall see a little of .be world, I do not know mv own heart, Lawrence." Lawrence bit his lip . with annoy ance. "I bardlv understand you ; yon are In a strange mood too." fcae went en recklesslv, twistm? that bright betrothal ring. "It was hardly fair to claim my promise so soon Lawrence I am fettered before I know anything of the world's real life.; Tbey may be golden chains to yon; to me they are simply galling." The insulting words stunir him to the quick. "Fetters do you call your words of promise r I have co wish to chain you, Maude Miss Thornton, if you will," he returned hotly. btie rose up, playing carelessly with her rinirs. "They are fetters easily broken. though, when no love binds the links together. There take back your ring." r She slipped it off and held it out laughing tho wh'le. He clasped her wrist, aid the ring dropped between them. "What do you mean ? Are vou playing with me ? It has gone too far for a joke." j "Loose my arm. Captain Gary you hurt me. I tell you my p. cruise has become a galling chain I like you, you know, but not well enough to give up better chances in life. I am handsome I have ten thousand a year. A Captain in a rr arching regiment is not a food parti." "For heaven's sajte stop!" be ex claimed hoarsely, "I won't reproach you, Jiauae i am glad yon have aroppea your mast lou are not worthy of an honest man's love ! 1 will crush mine as I crusn this bau ble!" ne stamped upon the jrl'im mering diamonds with his heel as he spoke. "For shame! You have spoiled a nog worm me rector's yearly in come!" she exclaimed, lightly. iui ne needed not tne words in his angry pain, lie eaugbt the girl's nanus in nis witn no gentle clasp, and looked sternly in her face "Heaven help and pity yon, Maude! ineiriumpns you covet, the rank you may gain, will turn to ashes at your tonch. I know you love me Nay, let your eyes droop; I know their secret! you hate let me read ti oiten enougn. And now I sav heaven forgive you for the words you have spoken this night and for the solemn promise you have lightly broken ! ne wrung her hands and strode out of tie room, his heart beating uerceiy witn pain and anger. With a low heart-broken cry Maude dropped upon her knees, and covered her face from the light. M iss Carroll cominir found her sob bing wildly. The companion knelt uown, ana pui ner Hands tenderly around her. "Miss Maude, dear Miss Maude, what is the matter? Where is Cap tain Gary?" Maude put up her hand3 with a pass'n ate gesture. "Ue is tone. Car. ne will never come back any more. He doesn't love me Car." "Not love you !" echoed Carroll, in high disdain. "He doesn't he seeks my money !" And Maude sobbed out the whole w. etched story the whispered words behind the laurel fence, and her own hard words to Lowrence. "Didn't you tell him what yon had heard?" "Te'I him?" questioned Maude, her f-ee flushing hotly. No indeed !" "Then you ought to have done so, Miss Maude. Many a heart has been broken keeping back something that might iave cleared op all trouble. Listen Miss Maude, dear T am nearly forty, my hair is gray ; but twenty years ago, tnere wasn't a brighter face or a lighter heart than u ine in all the village. ' I was en gaged to a young doctor, and we lov ed each other dear! v. I via a olem-v. man s daughter, you know, and we uvea in me rectory, for the living was in the hands of some cannon and my father was curate in charge" Maude moved her bead lmnatient- ly. What were the loves and anrrnws of these people to her and her su preme grief: Miss Carroll went on hastily "Well, we were encased ; and one day that we had arranged to go to a nicnic. tome miles awav John rims over, lookingtroubled. lie bad to go on business to the town, and couldn't join us at the picnic I was Tery a .

O.er the dreary plain of twenty yeir"" the flood Oi pain was trrging again. "Poor, dear old Ct!" Maude ex claimed arousing herself. "I am so sorry." The companion wiped ber faded eyes t.emblingly. "Heaven's will be done, Miss Madde; but its of no use to mistake our foolish pride for the Almighty's will, dear. I wish you had told Cap ta'n Gary. - . Maude rose up, shaking out the folds of her dress with an impatient sigh. "Go and have your dinner, dear, and sead me a cop of tea nothing else." Miss Carroll kissed the beautiful heiress, and went briskly away. After seeing that the aunt bad all she required, and sending the tea to Maude, the companion took a well worn cloak from her wardrobe and left the house. It was still raining, but the wind bad gone down, and thick mists shadowed the meadows around the rectDry. Miss Carroll walked quickly up the garden path and palled the bell, half hidden among the ivy leaves. She was a welcome visitor at the rectory, and the servant ushered her at once into the parlor. The lamp was burning low, and Polly's piano was shut. Polly herself with a lit tle conscious color, came forward to receive Miss Carroll. She had been standing by the fireplace talking to Lawrence Gary. "Give me your cloak ; It is wet." She took hold of it, and carried it out of the room. - . The little companion hesitated a moment She was terribly afraid of this grand, tall soldier. But love conquered fear. She went up tobini, her face . Hushing and her voice trembling, but strong in her purpose. "Captain Gary, Miss Maude is break ing her heart about you. She thinks you love Polly. She heard you say something this afternoon." A great light came into Lawrence's face. "Thank Heaven 1" he exclaimed, i as Polly came back, sayng ! "Sit down, Mi33 Carroll ; mama will be down in a mo sent. Captain Gary's horse became lame while d-ivingfrom the hall, and he is going to stay here to-night." "Yes no that is," exclaimed the young officer, excitedly, "I am going back to tne nail l nave torgotteo something." ne left the room, and Polly turned up the lamp, and sat down to her needlework; Polly's eyes were red. "You have been crying," said Miss Carroll. "Yes, I bare," the girl adnitted, frankly ; "1 am very miserable. Charlie yon knew Charlie ?" "No." Polly blushed. It seemed perfect ly natural to tell Miss Carroll she was every one's confidant "He is in Captain Gary's regiment, and they are ordered abroad to In dia. Captain Gary was very kind. He came to tell me to-day, as Char lie couldn't leave." "i3ut who is Charley ? I have nev er heard of him." "He is Lieutenant Tillson, and I am engaged to him," saii Polly, with a little dignity. "Ah, I understand. Toor little girl ! India is a long way off Cap tain Gary won't go?" "No. I suppose not," said Polly, with a smile that proved Captain Gary had kept his counsel. Maude had drunk her tea, and was moodily watching the glowing em bers, ber tears falling unchecked, when the door was pushed open by an eager hand, and Lawrense Gary entered again. Ue was very close to her before be spoke. "Maude, don't let us be foolish children and quarrel for nothing. "Maude dashed away her tear's proudly." "I thought you were at Kingston, Captain Gary." "No : my horse became lame, and I had to stop at the rectory. Polly is iu sad trouble, Maude. Charley Tillson, her betrothed husband, goes to India next month the regiment has received orders ; and I stopped to tell her this afternoon. I intend ed to lellyou of our going to India, but "Oh, Lawrence, you ore not going!" Captain Gary could have laughed as he caught her in his arms and kiss ed her again and again. "You foolish, foolish girl ! Do you think I could love any one but you ! Oh, Maude for heaven's sake don't speak to me again as you did jest now ! She clasped her hands round his neck, and laid her head on bis shoul der. "Forget and forgive, Lawrence ; I was mad with pain and jealousy. It was my love that made me so bitter." Ue held her close in his arms. "Let it be a lesson to both of us, darling. It might have wrecked our lives for years, if not forever. Rut for the laming of my horse, I should have gone to India, thinking you a false woman, Maude." "Hush!" she said, softly. After all, it is only "A Passing Shadow.

The Committee on crime recently went out iato the Sound, up East River, New York, where the school ship Mercury lies at anchor, off hart's Island. The members of the com mittee and their counsel were met by the officers of tho ship, and were shown through every part of the ves sel, from stem to stern. The boys had all been drawn up in line on the main deck, and as they bad all been cleaned up for the occasion, they aauCTi very good appearance. The committee went down into the very hold of the.shlp, looked int J the store room and the dispensary, and went through the berth deck, where sever al of the boys were culled iu to show the mode of suspending their ham mocks and Lrcttiuz in and out of them. Coming up to the main deck again the order was given to Lao the yards, and, iu obedience to the boatswain's whistle, lie lads ran op the three rope laddi-rs past, the tops, and some of them away up to the topgallants. At another command they ran out upon the yard, where for a few moments tbey stood alouy; iu line as if rtaJy to throw out or retf the great square sails.

Captain Francis F. Greggory, who is in commaad of the r'eip, tesl'Sed as follows: I have been iu command of the school-ship d litt.e more than a year; I had never been in command er any vessel before, but had been an officer on the Mercury for five years; there are 173 boys on the ship now; when the boys arrive here they are put in to ship's clothes and numbered! their religion is taken; we have a school teacher on board; nothing is asked a boy about his previous experience; he is sent to the school-teacher; the boy generally goes by the ship's num ber; each boy is washed every morn ing; whon the weather will permit, they strip to the waist and wash themselves on deck; the boys are divided iato two watches; they are instructed in everything that per tains to seamanship, aad nothing eke; some of them after leaving here go iato the navy: about 120 have gone into the navy since I have been in command; the reports about them have been very good; of course they have not the best of physique, tut tbey make good ordinary seamen; every day is the saaio with the boys except Sunday; on that day the Cap tain goes through the ship from stem to stern and makes an inspection; af ter that the religious f ervices are held; there is a Protestant service and a Catholic service; all the Catho lic boys are obliged to attend Catholic service, and all the Protestant boys are obliged to attend tho Protestant service; they would not be allowed to change from one to another if they requested it; if the parents came and said a bov bad been en;ered wrong and they wanted him to attend the other service, their requast would be complied with; we have a great va riety of punishments; the most severe punishmeDt is putting a boy in the stocks; this is only for the most seri offenses; for ordinary offenses we use the rope's end, giving them three, four or five cuts; no boy is ever pun ished by being suspended; the boys are fed on regular naval rations, but they have frest meat three times a week; we use a good deal of -'spoon" food, such as hominy and oat-meal; I think t-e ought to have more vag rant boys sent here; we can accom modate 250 boys; we want the boys scut here wbo have no homes; such boys would be sure to remain here until they were thoroughly educated, and would go away into the mer chant marine or navy; the number of boys discharged before tbey have beeu fully instructed amounts to about 40 per cent.jsome of the boys learn the business thoroughly in one year and a half, and others take two years, it all depends on the capabili ty of the boy; there have been no ccsertion3 from the ship during the past year: in former tiraea some of them jumped overboerd and swam ashore; profanity is not allowed; if a boy use profane language he is pun ished; the officers do not use it; I have beard them at times, bat I have in variably called them to account; we make a long crise each year, and are gone from fjur to five months; gen erally leave about the 15th of the month; our requisition is in nowj.for a permit to start; the Crst year that the ship was put in this se-viee its expenses emounted to $52,000; the next year it was $54,000, the next $33,000, and this year it will not be more than $24,000; I think that $35,- year is quite sufficient to run the ship, including everything; the sala ries of the officers Bre as follows: Coptain, $175 a month; first officer, $100; second officer, $75; third officer, $C0; instructor, $33.CC: doctor, $50; clerk, $15; master's mate, $30; engi neer, $55; steward, $45, carpenter, $30; seamen, $25 each. yieaatto be Sare.

Benjamin Franklin was the Erst American caricaturist That pro pensity of his to use pit-tares when ever he desired to affect strongly the public mind was an inheritance from tho period when only a very small portion of the people could read any other but pictorial language. Among the relics of his race preserved in Uoston there is an illustrated hand bill issued by his EnglUh uncle Ben jamii, after whom he was named, which must have been a familiar ob ject to him from the eighth year of bis age. Uncle Benjamin, a London dyer with James II., fled from Eng land, wishing to strengthen the im pression made by his printed offer to "dye into colors" cloth, silk, and In dia calico, placed at the head of his bill a rude wood cut of an East In dian queen taking a walk, attended by two servants, one bearing her train, and the other holding over her aiumbrtl a. At the door of his shop, too, ia Princes street, near Leicester Fields, a figure of an Iadiau queen eppealed to the passers-by. Such was the custom of the time. The diffusion of knowledge lessened the importance of the picturial repre sentation; but the mere date of r rauk- lin's birth, 170(1, explains in some de gree his habitual resort to it Nearly ad '.be ancient books were illustrated in some way, and nearly every an cient building seems to have had its sifu. ' When Fraaklia was a boy n Boston a gilt Bible would have directed him where to buy his book, if be had had anv money to buy them with. A gilt sheaf probably notified him were to get those three hi.-taric rolls with whicL he made his entry into Philadelphia. The figure of a mermaid invited the thirsty wayfarer to beer, and an anchor informed sail ers where sea stores were to be had The royal lion and unicorn, carved in wood and stone, marked public edi fices. Over the door of his fdthet's shop, where soup and candles were sold, he saw a blue ball, which still exists, bearing the legible date 1C9S. by a blue ball? He was just the bov to ask the question. A lad who could not except grace before meet without wishing to know why it were not better to say grace once for all over the barrel of pork, would be likely to inquire what blue ball had in common with soup and candles. His excellent but not gifted sire probably informed him that the blue ball was a relic of the time when he bad carried on the business of a dyer, and that he had continued to use it for his new vocation because he "bad it in the house." Benjamin, the gifted, was the boy to be dissatisfied with this explanation, and to suggest devices mora ia harmany with the in dustry carried on within, so that tbe very incongruity of his father's sign may have quickened his sense of pic torial effect. irantnn lived .ong, figured in a great variety of scenes, accomplished many notable things, and exhibited versatility of talent; man of business, inventor, statesman, diplomatist, philosopher; and in each of these characters he was a leader among leaders; but the ruling habit of his mind, bis forte, the talent that he most loved to exercise and most rel ished in others, was humor. He be gan as a humorist and ended as a buiaonst. The first piece of his ever printed and the las, piece I ever wrote, were both satirical; tbe lirst, the reck'ess satire of a saucy appren tice agaiusttbe magnates of his town; the last, the good tempered satire of a richly gifted, benevolent soul, cog nizant of human weakness, but not despising it, and intent only upon opening the public mind to unwel come truth as a mother makes a cniid laugn oeiore inserting a uieui- cine spoon. So dominant was bis propensity in his youthful days that if he had lived in a place where it had been possible to subsist by its exercise, there had beea danger of his becoming a professional humorist, merging all the powers of his incam parable intellect ia that one gift.

Several little girls, ranging from tea to twelve years, had taken up a position ia tho third story windows, whence they amused hemselvcs by dropping frag ments of trick upon passing China men.

A Bias Without el's mile. They have a ningjlar kiud of a d:aie conducted on the greens of country villages in Kusia. The dancers rtcd a-art, a knot of young men here, a kaut of young maidens there, each set by kself. and silent as a crow d of mat?s. A piper breaks iuto a tuae, a y.tuth pulls off his hat, and challenges his girl witb a wave and a bow. If the girl i. willing, she waves her handkerchief in t kea of a-.-ent, the vouth advances, takes a corner of the kerchief in his baud. ami leads his lussie round and round. No word is spukea and no laugh is heard. Stiff wiih cords aad rich with braids, the girl move3 heavily by herself, going ruuud and round, and never allowing her purtaer to touch her hand. The pipe goes droning ou for hours in the same sad key and measure ; and the prize of merit in this "circling," as the dance is called, is giveu by the spectator to the lassie who ia all that summer revelry, has never spoken and never smiled.

'"Well, sir," said the peddler, "I'll give you a machine for nothing, if you'll do it." ' Good as wheat," said the farmer, and he searched over the pile for a red cob, made a boy take it to a fire aud burn it a little, anl then sqaring him self on the sidewalk, he seized the red cob with regular old plantation grip ia one hand, while be held the ear of corn between both legs with the other, and waited for the ward "go" from a little man in the crowd, who held the watch to time them. "Go!" cried the fellow, and at it they went But the little peddler was so eicit ed ia the start that his shelter got choked, and while he was scufllinj; t unchuke it, the old farmer coolly got up, and pitcbiag his half-shellfcd ear into the pile, said he to the peddler: "I ain't got time to shell against that thing, mister; it would make me slow mwtioned fur life, ' and he step ped away lively, the crowd shouting and the peddler mad.
