'Tls the rljwr that lurks in the glars. HOW NT FOItmE (A1E T HE, I bad always been poor and I bad always been a dreamer. The first fact was patent to any and every one; the last I did as carefully as 1 could. One cf my favorite dreams bad been that of suddenly finding myself a rich woman. 1 thought about it as I followed my daily duties; I dream ed of it as I taught Mrs. Brown's four little daughters. When I did a sum in interest for them, it was sim ply calculating my own profits ; and when I drew map3 it was only to mark out my future travels. O, yes, I was a dreamer. And yet I worked and worked, .as well as I could, for my dreams were my solace and strength. It is said that only tbe unexpected happens. This is a mistake. I sud denly found myself a rich woman, and, though I had confidently expect ed one day to be rich, I will confess to a little feeling of surprise that was almost awe upon finding uiy silent convictions verified. j I bad often fancied how I should feel when this delightful state of things should be attained. Truth compels me to say that my emotions were by no means of an exalted char acter. When it was borne in upon my mind, my first thought was that now I need not wear that rusty alpa ca any longer, nor provide kindlings for the morning fire. I hated rusty aljiica, 1 hated to think about tbe morning fire. And I bad always had to think about such things. As a child I bad dimly realized that we were to make tbe wood and coal, tbe bread aad butter, go as far as possi ble ; and as a woman I had realized it as only a woman ran who has to put all her strength of body and mind into the effort to obtain tbe where withal to be fed and clothed. And, being a dreamer, I worked wit) a disadvantage. I was not ekifled, not thoroughly tkilled, in any Kina ot work. X taugbt, but I am sure 1 did not teach well. X'ot that I did not know enoub, for I was well educated, after tbe way of my own; but 1 bad no systematic training for that vocation. I doubt greatly it I could bave been systematically train ed. 1 could play and sing, but could not teach music Still 1 managed for two or three years to pass tbe ne cessary examinations, and get my certificate, and a position in tne pub lic schools. And as I see now what teaching is, and what it should be, and how important the work of a teacher, 1 am ready to beg pardon of tbe boys aud girls, now men and wo men, upon whom 1 inflicted my crud ities in those days. Sewinp: I detest ed, that is, tbe part cf it that requir ed thought. If I sewed, I wanted a long seatu that would need no t-tietial atteution, and so leave me free in mind to sit and dream my dreoiua. will say, however, that I hive gain ed in this. Long practice has made me perfect, and I can make over, twist and turn., and give my old gar ments quite the air of new ones. Blessed bo the latitude that the fohhioDS give, It has, however, de veloped suspicion in the female breast. I and all my eisters know that tbe long overt-kins and polouaioea cover "sham" tkirts, and bows are put on to cover seams ; or if they dj not, we think they do. lluurewutk I did at arms length, and if I did not study French while miiiug bread, as one of tbe Bronte sisters did, I wove many a romance while engaged in kitchen warfare. As a consequence both suffered; tbe romances were nipped in the bud, aud tbe bread was tbe worse 'or being seasoned with poetry. Sitting to-day, removed by many years and the blest-edness of plenty, from that time, I look back, and 8 e myself, poor, plain, hungering with a mighty huuger for that which I could not have, and from the standpoint of to-day I pity tbe girl and woman of that by-gone time. I see tbe room empty cf ornament,' and my eyes ached (or beauty j I see ,he thousand and on? market bills, whereby the ends were made to meet, and didn't always meet at that I remember the time when the want cf a fresh frill for my neck or a bow for my hair was a serious want. And yet, I am forced to say, in spite of all this, that I was not a very unhappy wo man. Tbcy said I was happily constitut ed. 1 think I was, but in a different way from what they meant. My father left me his books, and, a better legacy still, his love for them, and I bad never seen a day, even when tbe meal sack was empty, and the fire on the hearth low, but what ESTA II L f . it I! I , 182 SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY, I found these a refuge ; acd if these failed me, was not tbe outside worlti lett, and Lad net I a share in that? I felt, and in no egotistical Eeuse, I think, that tbe world was Gee, and tbe world was mine; ; I Lad a right cf ownership ia bill and dale, in eky and tree and flower. I think, indeed J know, that 1 got more out of the oak: trees ia my neighbor's handsome grounds than be did out of bis whole estate. They were mine, and from the moment tbe bj-U beaa to swell in tbe spring, till the last brown leaf:aa exceDiionailv harmr one. but ba had fallen, they were a perpetual joy; and those bare branches, delicately outlined against the gray tky cf win- ter, pleased my eyes with a pleasure he would no more Lave understood than be would the joy of the seraphs, I think I bad a rich nature. God was good to giva it to me. ia dark days the snn shone. Ana men mere was inat sbin of mine which was to come in, "with gold ia the ingots and silk ia the bales," ladea with love and all the sweet tlelignts tbe scul cried cut for. It was surely coming, and it did come. ' It was in those days whea it was low tide with liie, the days when I raadd acquaintance witb waut, yea, when be sat at my table that I met Robert Tremaine, the eon of my neighbor whose handsome house overshadowed ours, and whose beau tiful grounds I enjoyed more than he did. It was on his father's grounds, ua der one of bis father's oaks, that I met him. I bad gone out with a copy of Shelly, and sat reading, aad wondering at the fire that burned so in this wonderful poet's heart wondering at tbe divine madness that touched his braia.j Suddenly I heard sbouliag and laughter, and, rising, received straight ia my band, which, involuntarily I extended, a large ball. In aminute more Itobert Tre- maine and bis little nephew came up. a was mteniiy examining tne play-; thing. "O, Uncle Rob, here's my ball. This lady has it." The child hesi tated for an instant, but, true to his childish intuitions, he then said "la dy." ; Lccle Iiob lifted his hat. Really, your skill is something wonderful, if ! you did really catch that, for I th-ew it without aim or object. Aro ycu in tbe Labit of caching thin3 so ea sily, Miss Marguet? See, now, I remember you. And yoa look as though you had co recollection in your soul for an old friead and play-i mate, abase bands, aad say you are. giad to see me ; ' and he beid out his Land with a friendly frankness that was wonderfully winning. I gave him my band and said that I was glad to see him. "Come, Uncle Rob, let's go and play more," teased the ooy. "Ao, I d towaDt to do that. I've found an old friend, acquaintance for she does not look like a very warm friend and I am going to stay and talk with her." "You bad better go and plav, Mr. Tremaine."

But sbo had not the power. Never was Juno so sweet; no, nev er were mornings so rosy and radi ant ; never were twilights so tender. The light "that never was on land or sea" enveloped me. And I walked in it, but not alone, for the glamour and the beauty came to me through Robert who bad grown so dear, so perilously dear. H 7. OUTOIiEU 2, 1S7S. The birdd that 8aDg, the fljwera that bloomed, all tbe elouus that float ed in the summer fcky, the hillsides aud tbe green.growing things, were lighted and gilded and gloriSed br the light that (-hone from two brown eyes. I knew that I was a captive, but I found captivity so sweet nay, it was the freedom wherewith love makes freo. I remember one day in particular, ana 1 ruler tj it. not because u wai cause it was the type of many others, I We bad left our little village for a morning walk together. We took jtha waj toward the great woods that j fur miles aod miles covered the hills j about us. llobert was as great an ! enthusiast us myself in regard to wild-flowers, and searched for the newest of tbeiu for me in secluded i cook?, and actually found at Ia3t a blue gentian. lie helped me over 'steep places, climbed almost inacces- sib!e recks for me, and loaded himself down with ferns aad grasses. Oace he found a white rose, the last of the season, aud gave it to me with a look I remember even this day. Ah ! hao- : py. happy time, But tbe summer and our happiness had to end. Judge Tremaice and his wife had other plans for their son. Margaret Do Ilnyter was a roost estimable per son, but she was poor. Professor Ie Kuyter had been a very fine man, a profound scholar, a thorough gentle man, hot a man who never had tbe second good suit to hi back, a man who preferred speadin? bis money on what he called "rare" old book, to doing and living like other people. And .Margaret herself was odd. X'ot much like ether folk?, and co match ! for Itobert, wbc, rich, elegant and icuhtired, could Cad many a woman ! better fitted to be L"i3 wife. So they j said, aad it all came to me. ! And it wes trua. I knew it to be so. aiu si me note oi a Dcaumui day, when Robert came up the little walk to my door, I bad made op my mind. I remember that day so well. It is a bitter thing to fctand face to face with a duty which, acknowledged and yielded t3, will cover your lite w ith darkness, but which, set aside, would bring to your own soul a sense of humiliation and contempt not less hard to bear. And I made up ray miud. There is no use in urgiog me, Rob ert," I said. "God knows that I love you, for year love, fcr your willing- ness to throw away your inheritance for my sake. But I will permit no sucb eacrifice'." "It is no sacrifice." "You have not tbe knowledge that I have. You do not know aught of privation or trial. Love in a cottage, with ail the modern improvements, looks fair to you ; but I fear joa would Mad that Iv.ve In a cottage, with wider and crust, I, b.ve, furtive me-w.itcr, ashes dusx. If I were alone, I would go with you unhesitatiogly ; but I will not burden you with the aged mother who is my sacred charge. -O, my darliag, try to understand that it is for your own dear cake I put away all the beauty and loveliness of life. Go go before I pity myself into repent ing uiy decision. Some day yoa will thaak me that I did not ?pare myself and you tLis bit'.eraess." lie answered "I would leave fi'.her and mother, houses and lands, for your cake ; but si ace you will not permit that I will do what is harder. 1 will leave you for your own sake, not for luiac." O! the bii.tur, weary days aud weeks that followed, llo weulaway, I did not know where, but irfier a lima heard that he had gone back to Germany, lie had Lee a educated there, aud had spunt so many years there that ii seemed like home to him more like home to him, I knew than the father's he bad left. Anl I took up my burdens agaia. I never, for a moment, ia my wildest dreams, imagined that, tbis parting wai aught tbaa final. I knew that such experiences never repeat them selves. I had known the height aad depth cf joy and sorrow, and looked into the future with little knowledge ai to what it could do. I still taught Mrs. Brown's daugh ters, and at night, after my work was done aud my mother asleep in her bed, I wrote. I kaow that pcets are bora, not tupde, but. I also knew that this div ide birthright i f song lies dumb till the mighty band of some great pas sion tjucbes tbe heart. '-it sis nut s ti tiit tau&httne Uve, But lore that taught me scag."' The waking of this gif; brought a strange deligbt, and I learned new things of myself. I understood now the rapture that bad been bora of my dreams. I felt as though I bad been asleep, and some great magician bad j awakened me. And this was true. And so I wrote and worked, and was far from being utterly unhappy. I gained some reputation, too. My poems found their way iato the pap ers and tnagszioe, and, better than a!), into tbe hearts of the people. I grew accustomed to teeing myself in print, and by degrees rid myself of the shy, half guilty feeling I bad iu re gard to it. I earned some money by it too.

She had. beea an invalid all ber liie ; nearly all tbe time conSaed to the bouse, and part cf the time to her bed. She was a proud, unlovable woman, aad though she had lived for many years in the little town, there was not a dczen that called her a friend. There was no other child. Ther had been a daughter, but she had died soon after ber marriage, leaving one son, the bov who was Robert's play fellow when I met him, eo long; ago ; be had also died. j But Judge Tremaine kept bis borne one a, and lived in solitary state. 1 1 used to meet bim ia going; to and from my lessons at Mrs. Brown's, lie always lifted bis hat to me, and somn- "fijod mora- And I alwars thought of the wron? he had done, aad of the good ha could have done instead; and ia my heart I fear I hated bin,. I heard not a word from Robert or of him. I thought it very possible that ho would find a wite among the daughters of Li3 beloved Germany. I will not pretend to say i nopca so. I could not think of it without agony. Yet I kaew that though like a maa be had loved me, still, like a maa be would love ajraia. Then one morn ing I met his father. He paused, raised his hat, and said, "Miss Mar garet, but I oiuit give you yet anoth er pain. Robert is dead." "Dead?" I repeated. "How can Robert be dead ?" He looked at me pityingly. "You bave eufTercd I see; and now it is too late to hope. Poor child ! And yet," he added, "what is your hurt to mioe, who am old ?" "O, Mr. Tremaine, I tell you truly whea I say that yoa bave given me no new grief. Tho cup that is full can hold no more ; and Robert is no farther removed from me than before. Life sundered us cruelly, death has made him wholiy mine." "I pray you be merciful," he said. And I in my pity for his gray hairs and his desolate old age, gave him my band iu forgiveness and kind ness. It seems that Robert had takqa passage for home ; the steamer with all oa board was lost, or supposed to be. A year went by. Judge Tremaine was still my neighbor, and he begged that he might be allowed to be neigh borly. Ue was sixty-five years old, and I was twenty-eight. And the little kindness he offered me I accept ed, because it made him feel less the burdened by bis grief and mine. At least 1 thought so, aad whea one day he asked mo to marry bim my sur prise was beyond measure. It was only exceded by my indignation. "Marry you 1 Be your wife?" "Yes, Margaret I mean it; be my wife. I will be a tender loving husband to you ; and though it may seem to you, in your youth, a mock ery for me, witb my gray hairs, to talk ot iove, I tell you truly that I do love you ; and could make your lifi, which Las boon defrauded ot its best, rich and grand and beautiful. For a moment, for a wild moment, I did suffer myself to stand on this mountain of temptation ; I did suffer myself to see the kingdoms of the esriD, ia their beauty and glory pass before ar; I did thiak what this could fcriaj ict a life which Le had right fully called defrauded. Oah for a moment. Then a flood of mi :uories swept over me, memories ao s eet, so sad ; and so over-mastering! I stood ia the dear past ; aad besH Rol?rt'sj voice, and Looked into Robert's eyts. Then I said, as tenderly as I could, "I do not mock your passion nor call it unreal, nor do I fail to see what you could do for me, but I remjmbdr what you have done, and I remember Robert. God help me ! When I for get htm, I shall forget all earthly things." And so that was ended. Two weeks later, 83 I passed, early ia tLe morning, 1 saw crape swinging oa the door of tbe Tremaine mansion. Judge Tremaine bad died the night before. A sudden stroke, the doctor said, for be had seemed ia excellent health only the day previom. I bad not seen his face since the day he turned from my door, aad then it wore a look sad to see ou the face cf an old mau. Grief, remorse, aad the hurt look of one who had failed in tbe ut.ermost But death had touched bim with its blessed restfu'.aess ; and Le lay at last peace crowned. Ooe must bave a little soul who can stand by the dead and say over the seosek'ss clay, "I bate you. I remember all the evil you hare done, and will remember!" I felt only pity and forgiveness fur the man who had passed beyond the need of cith er. A short time af.er the wiil was read. It was found that all Lis pos session?, houses, lands, bank-stock, and all, were left to me, whom be named as his "loved and respected friend, Margaret Do Rayter." Truly, "The mills of the Gods grind slowly, though they grind ex ceedingly small." Others marveled at tbe strangeness of the will. I, who knew what they did not, recog nized the justice of it. Had Robert lived, it would have been his; aad now it is mine, for I should have beea Robert's wife. It made me glad that he made this acknowledgement of his wrong. I aid in the begintiag of this story that I ha 1 always expected to be rich; and tbis was the way it came ; and having passed through so niucb, it was not straDge that '.he Erst thought that came t i me was cf the relief from irksome duties and petty economies that it would bring. It was the thought cf the negatiye good that came Erst. The rusty al paca, the fret of daily teaching, and thn struggle witb the kindling wood. Later came tbe consciousness of the world thi3 would open to mc, and I should bave exulted mightily only for the one loss which never could be made np to me; the loss fur which no late restitution could atone. I took possession. I moved my old fee Llo mother avay from the plain little house, and gave ber the bright est, sunniest room it the graud man sion. I beautiSed and adorned the grounds as I chose; bit in tbe house I made few changes, save to bring books and picturea according to my taste and needs. I spent money iu a fashion that made my lawyers open their eyes widewith astonishment. I was in a fair way to find my way back to that which was to be the normal condi tion cf the De Ruyters. I should ia time have done that, for you kaow my palm was not made for holding gold, but for a strange, strange thing that happened. It was June again. I stood on the porch, enjoying, in every nerve anr, fibre ct my being, tbe marvelous beauty cf a perfect rocrnicg. There was no flaw. Tbat moment th world was all good.

He walked slowly, lo. king one side and then another, evidently ad miring but not quite understanding the change be eaw. I stood like one stricken dumb. In my moments of deepest emotion I had never the gift of words. Xow, through all my surprise, my absolute bewildeiment, rose the one glad thought, "He has come back to me," whether in tbe fiesa or in the spirit I did not yet know. But they were warm, living hands that took mine, and sweet, human kisses that fell upon my lips and cheeks and brow. "Has the sea given up its dead, Robert ?" I asked. "Xot that I've beard of dear. Cer tainly it has not given me op, for it never had me." "But were you not drowned ? Did not you sail in the sea-Bird, and was she not lost V "Do I look as if I had romu from some cool sea cavern ? Is there any seaweed or coral clinging to me? Xo dear, I did not sail in tbe Sea-bird, for at the last moment I changed my mind. But, Margaret, may I ask how come you here? And what ia the meaning of all these changes I see ? Where is my father ?" "O, llobert, don't you know?" "I know nothing. Tell me quick, please." I pointed to where ia the distance, the white monument of the Tre- maincs gleamed with a cruel clear- cess through the trees. "He is dead. They are all dead And be thought tbe sea Lad swal lowed you up, and he left this all to me; but you shall bave your own again, all your own." "Surely, I will bave my own," be said. He had not sailed as he nad plan ed to do, and had written to say so. but tbe letter miscarried. He bad beard nothing from hofie, and the longing to see his dear ones hod at last been too strong for him, and he had come. I told him the story of the years that had gone, of my ambitions and success, of my longings aud heart aches and I said : "I took what your faiLttr give me, thinking it was right. You are the rightful owner; now I wiil give it back to yoa ; and the ti tle b.ue " "Margaret," Le said, ' I suppose I could take all this from vou.

"Yes, and it is yours more than it ever was, for all 'mine is thine, aud thine is mine.' " We did not call in the lawyers to settle the matter for cs, but left it to love's wise arbitrament.

Petrrton' Magazine. ttlsm :litte9 Woaderinl Siha-atlsic. d iru Gcldie is a maa in the prime of life, about five feet eleven inches ia heigbtb, and with a most wonder ful physique. Some of the feats which he has performed seem impos sible. He has broken 209 glass balls out of 300, in 12 minutes, with a forty-fonr calibre Winchester rifle. He can break 100 glass balls five times out of six, without a miss, in three minutes. These feats are on- paralleled, and surpass Dr. Carver's wonderful snooting. A seemingly in credible feat that ne performed is as fellows: A Boda-water bottle is thrown into the air in a certain man ner, and before it falls, Goidie will send a ball dowa tae neck of the bot tle aad make a hole ia the bottom. There are other feats which he per forms with bottles. At fifty yards distance a bottle is placed on a fork ed toog, aad Goidie will send six bullets in rapid succession down tbe neck and through the bottom, only perforating the latter ia one place. At long distances this wonderful marksman performs just aa marvel ous feats. At 1.000 be will hit the centre of the bull's-eye and then send six bullets, one after tbe other, hitting the very indent made by the nrst. A potato tbrowa ia the air Goidie will perforate wkh six bullet boles before it touches the ground. Perhaps his most astonishing feat is breaking two balls at once. Tbis is done ia the following manner : Tae balls are thrown crosswise, and as they pass each other on their course, with quick, unerriog aim and light ning like rapidity, Goidie wiil speed a bullet through both. Another teat is the placing of an inch strip of tin about tbree feet long ia position at thirty feet distance, and perforating it from top to bottom with thirty six holes, all exactly in the centre of the strip, and all at even distances apart. Goidie says be does not kaow where all his wonderful skill comes from llo never handled a riflle until be was eighteen years old, and to bim it seems like an instioct.

From Paris to London is not more than sine or tea Loora, (they estimate distance by time in Europe-,) but that givrs no idea of tbe immense changes ia scenery, life aad manners involved in the transition from ooe city to the other. Taris is clean, wbitewalled, ever wearing an air of holiday and refinement In Paris tbe kumhier classes are cheerful, happy, healthy looking, and cheaply bat neatly at tired ; ber dandies are exqnisite and diabolically guy, and her ladies, what more need said cf them than that they dictate faabiou to tbe fe male world, and axe at the bottom of bard times. London is immense, labyrinthine, unclean, mepbitie. Her lower classes are numerous, blear-eyed, filthy, aud meanly clad they wear a worried, wearied appearance, giving the im pression of a hard, struggling past and doubtful future. Her middle classes have a shoppy air, homely features, with ungainly physique, and elaborate bat ungraceful manners The want of taste in dress of the English people is proverbial, but I am disposed to think that the defect is less in the eye and esthetic sense of the subject than ia tbe waat of a proper figure for the display cf good clothes. TLYsartorial genius bas.not yet been born that can make an EngUhma-i look like a gen th ru an. The average Englishman is neither an Adonis nor Antinous, Either his arms are too long. Lis shoulders too narrow, his stomach too large, his shins too short, cr bis toes are disposed turn in. I know that many who imagine tbat they have seen Englishmen will be dis posed to criticise my criticism ; but let no one suppose that he has seen a people until be has seen them in tbeir own habitat. The only way to compare the English with tbe French or Americans is to see them in the mass, aa they may be seen in their respective countries, and I think that those who have remained a few weeks in England will bear me out in what I have said. Xext to the French there are perhaps fewer na tive English people in the United States than of any other great nation, and tbe specimens with as do not furnish a sufficiently broad premiae for a general estimation. Politically the Englishman is loyal in spite of a discontented element that finds fitfil expression here and there, nineteen of every twenty Eng lishmen yoa meet will speak witb pride wad praise when the ljueeo, the Prince ot Wales, or any of the Royal family, are referred to. The tenth one, however, will'call her Brittannic Majesty an old bag, and has awful stories to tell about tbo atapidity of the Prince of Wales, his diseased body and dissolute liie. AH English men praise tbe superiority ot our railway cars, bat there their conces sions cease, they think they have the best government ia the world, and are ready to prove by figures that our frequent elections by breaking up industrial routine and babita are in directly a greater strain upon the ex chequer than the enormous amounts expended for the maintenance of te Royal family. Xo Englishman can qsarrel without informing his adver sary, at some stage of the alterca tion, tbat he is an Englishman, and he cannot talk long with an Ameri can without denouncing the protec tive tariff of the United States. That is where tho shoe pinches. If we would but give free ingress to the numberless cheap and excellent things they make, they would love as more. The marvelous cheapness and superior quality of the thousand and one articles that are indispensa ble to civilized life, here in London, caanot but astonish Americana who cannot see how they can be made for twice the sum asked for them. A tooth brash that will cost 40 cents in the States may be bought in London for five or ten cents, and thousands of other thing1) in proportion. I caanot of course make a list, but will say in a general way that our tailors and dealers ia useful and fancy manu factured articles are perhaps the most extortionate sinners in tbe world, and that one hundred and even two hundred per cent not an unusual price for tbem. In England the co-operative sys tem is having a very appreciable ef fect on local trade. The object cf this system may be described as the furnishing of members of a trading association, formed for tbe purpose, with genuine and moderately priced goods, on the principle of ready money payments, tbe cheapness being secur ed by economy of management and by contentment with small profits. Xotwitbstandisg the opposition of retail and even wholesale dealers, it has of late yeara made astonishingly rapid progress in London, where there are about thirty co-operative stores, carrying on an immense trade. The chief company is the "Civil Service Supply Association," which consists of share boldera of members belonging to the Civil Service, who pay aboat 60 cents a year, aad cf outsiders (who mast be friends of members or shareholders) who pay $1.25 annually. All bave the same advantage in the purchase cf goods ; bnt while tbe Civil Service member may bave goods seat borne carriage free, tbe others most take their pur chases away witb tbem, or pay for tbeir carriage. The association now engrosses about COO person, who receive salaries amounting in all t $250,000 annually. Tbe cost of the string, paper aad straw, ased in packing good amount to foO.OiiO per annum. The sales ia 1977 amounted to tbe enormous sum cf $5,500,000, the net profits being a little over two per cent. TLe article sold comprise groceries, win., spirits, provisions, tobacco, clothing, books. stationery, fancy gocus, drugs, scd watches. Indeed so complete aad varied are their stores that it is not necessary to go elsewhere for the purchase of anything. C. A. S Kepwrte Xasassrrw.
