Well, why don't yon ray It, husband '. I know what you want to aay ; Yon want to talk about felling the tarni, fr the mortKBir we cannot pay. I taow that we cannot pay for It, I hare thought of it o'er and o'er ; For the wheat bar failed; on the comer lot, where wheat never failed before. And everything here's, gone.backward rlnce Wll lie went off to rca. To pay the mortgaa-e and rave the farm, the home lead, for yon and me. I iaav It war beat to aire it ; It war right that the debts be paid. The debts that our thoutf'ulli n W illie, ln the hours ot hlr weakness, made ; And Will wonld have .paid It lairly, yon know It ar well at L Iftherhlp had not gone down that uight when no other f hip was nigli. Hut, aomehow, I didn't 'iuii hoping, and ever I've tried too pray (Hut I know if our Will was alive on earth he'd urely been here to-day). I thought that the niercllul Father would some how, care lor the lad, Deraure he war trying to better the pat, anil be- cause he was all we had. But now I am well nigh hoiwlesii, since hope for my boy har tied. For rellu-g the farm means giving him up. an 1 knowing for sure he's dead. Oh ! Thomas, how rca we leave ,iu the hi. me we have always known? We won It away from the forest, and made it so much our own. First day we kept house together was the day that yoa brought me here ; And no other place In the wide, wide wurld will ever be hall so dear. Of course you rouicniher it, il'Uoiaaj I need not ark you, I know. For this Is the mouth, and this Is the day it wae twenty-six years a-o. And don't you remember It, Thomas, the winter the barn was made How we were so proud. and happy, f r all our debts were paid The crops were (rood that rummer, and everything worked like a charm. And we felt so ilch aud contented to think we had pal i f ir.tte farm. And now to think we must .leave It, when here I war hoping to die, It seems ar it war breaking my heart, but the fount of my tears Ir dry. There's a man ap there in the village that's want in? to buy. you ray ; Well, Thomar, be ll have to have it, but why doer he eume to-day ? But there. It Is wrong to grieve you. lor you have enough to bear. And in all ol our petty troubles you always have borne your share ; I am but a sorry helpmeet since I hive so childish grown. There, there go on to the village, let rae have it out alone. Poor Thomas, he's growing feeMe, he steps so weary and slow. There Ir not much in his looks to-day like twenty. six years ago; But I know that his heart ir youthful, ar it was when we first were wed. And his love Is as strong arerer for me, and for Willie, our b..y that's dead. Oh, Willie, my baby Willie, I never rball sec him more: I never shalipicaraiU'riK,trtca;hcdimestliruugh the open door. "How are you dear little mother V were alwuy ? the words he'd say : it seams as if I wonld ajtve the ; world to hear it arraln to-day. I knew when my boy wsj comlntr, 'be il ever so early or late ; He was always a-whirtllng - 'Home, Sweet Home," as he opened the garden gate. And many and many a moment, since .the night that the ship went down. Have I started up at a whistle like bir, out there on the road from town; And la many a night of sorrow, in the silence, early and late. Have I held my breath at a footstep that seemed te pause at the gate. I hope that he cannot see nr. wherever hi wul may be; It would grieve him to know the tr.sble that's come to father and me. Out there Is the tree be planted the day he war twelve years old ; The sunlight is glintine thrusrh' It, and turning iu leaves to gold ; And often when jl was lonely, ;anl no oocnear at hand. I have ta'ked to It hour, tosether a. it It cul l understand And sometimes I "ed to fancv, whenever I spoke of my boy. It was waving Its leaves together, like clappin g its hands for joy. It may be the man that will 'own It, that's coming; to boy to-day, Will be chopping It dowa, or dieting it ap and bnmlni It out of the war. And there are the panrlee yonder, ami the meer be helped to trod Why, every burn on the dear oU place ir ar dear as a tried old friend. And now we must go and leave thtn but'there! they have come from town : I haven't had time to smooth my hair, or even hi change my gnwn. I can ree them both quite plainly, although it Is getting late. And the stmntrer's a wbirtlinz "'-Home" Sweet Home.' as he comes np from the ifvte. I'll o oat Into the kitchen now, (or I don't want to look on bis face. What right has ae to be whsKling thai ,',unIH he has bonghtthe place- Why, can that be Thomas coming? he nruaily steps so slow ; There's something come Into his footstep like twenty-six yean atr i. There's konething that sour! Ii ke gladners, and the man that he nred to 1 Before oar Willie went oat from home to die on the stormy sea. What, Thomas!

"Too bring me tidings, and tid ln;s of wonderful joy ; " It cannot be very ploar, unless It ir news of my boy. Oh. Thomas ! Ton cannot mean it ? Here, let me look in your face.

I be lieve tbe Judge was tbe next, bat as be bad fortified bis courage wun a large qaaati'.y ot whisky bis breath was stroar enoagb and bis words tbick enoagb to ensue epeedy rejec tion, lie was considerably mortified at it aad was never able to explain tbe caose of bis defeat, bnt when a Mexican woman drifted into tbe camp shortly afterwari and engaged in wasbins frr tbe men, tbe Judge tried bis banc again acd was accept ed.

WEDNESDAY, MAR. 3, ISSO. old Stacy himself quietly chuckled and bet on his gil every 'trip,' a he afterward explained. She bad cume Into camp a week or two previously to the greatest sur prise of everybody, incloding her LtDer. Old Stacy, a good many years before, sjtne eight or ten, had lost his wife, and eo graat was bis grief that he could not be induced to remain longer in the place she had mudo a little heaven for bim. S he placed bis daughter his oqU child ia the fashionable female seminary of the State, providing her with ev erything that was oecrtusury for her comfort or happiness aad tben struck cut for the Saa Juan silver mines to forget his recent loss ttn uc tbe ex citements aad privatious cf the front ier. Stacy was one of the fortunate few out ol the unlucky tnaoy that enter a mining country, aad in a few years he was po-6ested of properties yield ing him an excellent income from thtir hard, wtiitc quartz lie regu larly correepouded with his dauhtsr aud kept her supplied with pocket money fur in excess of ber needs or requirements, but he never went buck uq a vi.-it, aud when the young lady was ciuiv graduated with high hon ors, she determined to peek out her I lorjg absent paternal progenitor. r.h an iodepeudence and courage, the wonderment of the boys, she trav eled across the plains, took pas?ae on the stage and tioally rode into Mineral City on horseback, the first white woman ia camp and the ob ject of the shv adoration of the men. It was some time before tbe bovs could stand their ground and face ber, instead of searnparinpr away at her approach, as had hitherto been the case : hut tho western miner is not long ia getting accustomed to strange things, acd it was not over ten days nucr her arrival that the Colonel immolated himself on the al tar cf tor affdctious. Encouraged by ois example aad uaterri&ed by his unceremonious defeat, the bays, one after another, tried their luck, though, as I have before mentioned, with no belter success. Stacy was a partner of mine in the cjax mice, ia which there were three of us interested, acd as we were doing cousiderable development on tbe vein I was of necessity much in his company and consequently in that of his daughter. She wa9 a very pretty girl, with dainty, delicate w ays far more beSttiag a houi-e cn Wtlaut street than a rough mining c&nip ; bat she loved her father with an earnest clinging auac.ion tnat would not listen to her leaving him, aud so she continued to re:ga (u-.ea of Mineral Citv all through tne summer of 1ST(. 1 don't know when it was that I was unduly attracted towards Neliie. I toink it was a Leu she a-kt d me to call her thereafter by that name. She made the request so innocently, so sweetly, and so tenderly, alleging that as 1 was her fat Jer s partner, a gentleman by birth and education, and such a kind friend to ber, it would be ever so much nicer for me to say Nellie, instead of Mies Stacy, which sounded so formal, that I came very nearly adding other words to the name that our short acquaintance would not justify. After that 1 spent most cf my evenings with Neilie, and sometimes an afternoon, we took de licious little rambles together on the mountain sides and into tbe heavy timber litiag the valley or canon of L cc-'inpacgre. One evening as we were returning home, we stopped to rest cn tbe rockv-crested summit ol Mineral I'oint. A few hundred f-.et below us ly the little mining camp, its leg callus looking doubly pict-urer-que in the c&ibering gloaming The blue t-ruvke was curling from a djzen cniinneys as tbe men prepared their evening meals ; ana here and there, over the various trails, a blue- shiried miotr, with pick aad drills across Lin rhoulder, came stridicg borne. Tee ton sinking behind the Wasatch ih uulains, one hundred aud sixty-nve ni;k-s distant, cast great lung shadows across the surrounding peaks, and veiled the ravines and gulches in dtepeniog darkness. elne sat on tbe croppings of a vein of quartz and I lav stretched out at her feet, watching ber pretty, tender eyes, as they wandered about tbe horizon, drinking in the )eauty and the grandeur of the scene. Sbo d some light, n.ecy arrangement a nubia, 1 btlieve it is called wrapped Losdy about her head and shoulders, aud ber hair, in w hose meshes the sunbeans seemed to bare auebt, peeped from beneath, helping to frame a lace stamped wiih inno cence and purity. Young people al ways get eentimentul in the evening, when surrounded bv quiet, and I was no exception to the rule, and almost before I knew it I was toving with tee little band, so white and soft, lying carelessly on the flinty quartz. ".Nellie," I said, after a few mo- ments, "uon t vou ever long to leave tnis rough place end go back to tbe "Not now,' she said, slowly, "though I might under some circum stances." "Why not now ?" ; Ob," because because I don't want to leave papa." "Is that tbe real reason ?' I asked, ber shyness and evident avoidance of my eyes giving me hopes that set my heart beating w ith quicker pulsations. "Let us go down," she said quick ly, as she arcse. "No, not nniil yon answer me," and I caught again the little band. She drew it from my grasp, and, with a saucy "Come" started down tbe trail aart I hastened to follow. I made several attempts to renew tbe conversation on ibe way, but Nellie always turned tfT from tbe subject nearest my heart; and yet when I left ber at ber father's door she sbjlv extended ber band, and I thought I detected a soft pressure as I took it in mine. A moment, and she bad vaniebed, and I noticed a rosy flash on her pretty cheeks and an unusual light in ber tesder eyes. 1 went back to my little cabin w iu a strange ad nix. ure of rertaintv and d. ubt in mr feelij-s, aud a quickening of my puis--es that made me cbrkut. to my n uah surroundings. j After rupprr I lit my pipe and satj oppn try riogfciy-tewn door sup. j Tbe son tad gote down, but yet tbere : was light enough for me to see ber X 7. : cabin and notice her father standing in the doorway chatting with Mineral Bob, the best prospector in camp and the third owner with Stacy and my self in tbe Ajax. I turned my head and saw tbe lights in the shaft-house of tbe Big tiiant mine cn Red Mount ain gleaming away in tbe distance ; 1 beard the clanging bellows of .the blacksmith at bis forge as be sharpen ed tbe tools for tbe morning's work, and the deep boom of tbe blast in the Little Kuaily mine came floating through tbe still nigbt air. Tben my eyes wandered back to the cabin wi.ich held Nellie. Bob was still tbere, bia tall figure and br,ad shoul ders contrasting greatly with the lit. tie old man iu tbe door-way. What was be doing tbere so long I thought, and I puffed my pipe viciously as 1 saw Nellie a moment later join tbe two. Tbe nigbt settled down, and ibe cabins faded from view, their presence only revealed by tbe light ehioing through tbe lictle square win dows or the sparks etreamiug out of the stone and mud chimneys. It was getting eool, too, and I knocked the ashes out of my pipe and re-entered my little borne and stirred up tbe smouldering embers on the hearth. An boor went by and the moon sent its beams across my little table, with its tin plates and cups ; across my earthen and rocky floor, touching lightly ray books on a shelf at tbe bead of my bed and resting softly on tbe rolled-up coat that served me for a pillow. I turned on my stool and glanced oat of tbe window. The tops of the t-urrounding timber were sil vered by the moonlight, and the cab ins stood out against the dark back ground of the tall spruces. Tbe Bound of singing came up from the saloon and the wind sighed fitfully now and then. And so 1 fell into a sombre reverie, and Nellie was the centre about which all my thoughts revolv ed. Presently tbere was a knock at my door, and at n'y invitation Min eral Bjb entered. "Hello ! Philadelphia," he said, "I kinder thought you wasn't in." "Why?" I asked, rather sorry of the interruption, though Bob was good company and do one could look into his merry, blue eyes and pleas ant face, covered all over with a lux uriant, rich brown beard without feel ing better and less out ot spirits. "Oh, I sort cf calculated you'd be somewhere around me gin. how s your chances, partner? Good, eh?" "Come, come, Bob, and stop your nonsense. Here, fill your pipe and sit down." Bob laughed good-humoredly and, pulling up a stool, sat down near the lire, and as be filled bis pipe, said : "I've dropped in on a little busi ness, about the Suuehine. you know," alluding to a mine of his and one of the best in the camp. "Vcu kno w, I'm obliged to sink ain't got no chance to tunnel, and the derned sur face water is getting the best of me. Vust have a pump, if I want to do anything tbis bailing water out by tbe bucketful when she's coming in near as fast is of no account. Vcu know that ?" I nodded assent. "Well, then, Philadelphia," said be, as be lighted bis pipe and gave two or three vigorous puifs, "I want to see what kind of a dicker I can make with you about running the mine. 1 ain't got the money to gel aa engine and pump, though I guess I could borrow it, and besides I've got to go East on bueiness inside cf a week and I don't want to leave tne Sunshine idle I can't afford it. "Why don't you sell ber to old St&cv ? I said. He's got some readv cash"" "But he's going out shortly and wants to sell bis own mines." "Going out, Stacy ?" I demanded, wondering why Nellie had never al luded to it. "Yes, going to take that gal of bis back to tbe States. Thw ain't no fit place for a pretty little thing like she is, you know." Nellie goiDg to leave camp. By jove, that wouldn't do. No, if she left, 1 would too. I sboulla't lose ber, now that 1 bad all but won ber. so I said : i "1 tell you, Bob, I don't know that! i snau stay mucn loDger myseii. Perbapa you would like to make me an offer for my interest ia the Ajax aad let me attend to your business ia the East, if I can ; I would be very glad to." "No; much obliged partner ; but no one can do what I'm going out for, except myself. Same time. 1 might be able to handle my own property better if I bad the Ajx, too, seeing as bow tbe two claim join each other on tbe same vein. I won der if old litacy would sell out cheap enough ?" "Oh, I guess so," I said ; "espe cially if be is at all anxious to get away. I'll speak to bim for you." "He said tbe other day," continued Bob, as tbongb be were carefully weighing tbe proposition, "that be'd sell to me on time if I could get a good man to go my security." "Would he take me, do vou think?" "Take you ? A great sight sooner than any other man in camp."' "Well, then. Bob, you give me a mortgage on the mine, and if his fig ures are not too high I'll indorse your j note and turn yoa over my interest beside. Tbe guess, though for a week." "Tbat's the mine is sk lid yet, I I haven't been to it gal's fault," grinned Bob; "bat if she wasn't good ( wouldn t want to bay. I believe I'll go down and see tbe old man it won't take long, acd Bob buttoned up bis coat and started out." Half an boar later Bob returned with tbe necessary Daroers bv which at AS k af I Stacy conveyed bis third interest ia j tbe Ajax mine to bim for eight thou sand dollars, payable within thirty ! days. . I indorsed Bob's note for the; amount, be assuring me that if tbe aAit continued to pay, as it bad in the: past, be could easily take it op when: due, besides which, I reasoned to mvself, that I would soon be Stacv's, son ia law, acd, ia case of Bob's fail-! ore to meet tbe note, tbe old man' would not be Lard on me. : 1 also transferred my third interest to Bub for a like amount, and secured myself for both sums by a mortgage on the, property, and so 1 weot to bed tbfct eight and dreamed of tbe little wife; I soon expected to have. TT 11 1 r S " ; B sTE .HUH I saw Nellie the next day, aad though she smiled sweetly and blush ed most prettily I wasn't satisfied, as owine to her getting things in readi ness for tho trip next morn'"cg there was no opportunity for a quiet little conversation. I told Stacy I was go ing out, and he laughed and said Nel lie bad spoken of it and be "didn't know but what it was a good scheme for bis gal, 'cause it could hardly be expected that me and Bob would be good company ; and so the matter was settled and I collected my traps together, and those I didn't care to take with me 1 distributed amoni; the boys. They all knew what I was go ing for, and good natured witticisms were freely indulged in at my ex pense. But I liked it, and rather en joyed my triumph over tbe Colonel aud the Judge aad the others who bad tried to win tbe little treasure that I hud parried oOf, bat bad miser ably failed. 1 sat in my cabin that evening the last I should ever spend in Min eral City and somehow I got terri bly blue and out of spirits. Il ftlt like parting with old friends. Every tree and every rock seemed to have a hold of my afi'ecticas, and the rough logs of my little borne had a warm place ia my heart. I couldn't shako off my low spirits, and so I went down to sco my little one and from ber eweet face and pretty eyes draw the consolation I felt 1 needed. I found ber looking tired from her ar ranging and packing efforts, bat she seemed most glad to see me, and we uat n r. tha il'ViPat.n anil aura utn nK.irii'. in a t, rm n.-in fi lie n t i nl war ::v .u" . . .tl: , r:;;c :z: , : hand in mine and said : "Ar won rpailv rrlnrl tJ.ftt I Km rrn- - j r mg out wiia you r "You know I am," she said, earn estly, her eyes dropping and ber soft little fingers involuntarily pressing; mine, and somehow before I fuily realized whut I was doing I had leaned forward and pressed a hot. passionate kiss on her pretty bps, and with a littl-3 exclamation- expressive of surprise aad not of anger she turned and vanished. I was a happy fellow that night. Our trip was begun the next morn ing and ia due course of time w e all of us came to a halt ia New York.jWhat a delicious time I bad of it and how considerate Stacy and Bob were. They never intruded their presence, but let me have Nel lie to mycelf, as though they had no connection whatever with us. I felt grateful to them and meditated often upon what I could do to show my appreciation of thair tbcughtfulaess and good tteliog. Neliie was a little paradox, however aa enigma I couldn't solve. 1 hd proposed to her half a dozen times oa our way East, b it though she plainly showed thai b- f Leart was mine and permitt ed mi; to squeeze her hand, whisper sofi Dothings and kiss her good night whea she retired, she would give me do answer to my pleadings, but kept me off w ith coquetry in itself most attractive. And so the days spun round and I seemed to be do nearer than when we lefi the old mining camp, and I got irritable and out of sorts, and one day Nellie suggested that I had better run on and sec my family and get sweetened op a little, and 1 savagely replied that I would, aud I should not return until she sent for me, etc., etc. She smiled sweetly, and looked tenderly out of ber p'etty eyes, and I took tne train fur Phila delphia, in a terrible temper, and yet feeling sure that I would be back again within forty-eight bonrs and I was. 1 a?ked the clerk to send op my card, and he said it would be useless, as the lady, with her father and an other gentleman, bad left tbe nigbt before for the South, be thought. They had left a letter for me, how ever, and I snatched tho letter, and tore it open Tbere were several en closures, reading as follows ; Thcrsdat. Mr Dear Charlet: You must pardon my terrible flirtation wi.h you of the past few weeks, but it was the last 1 should ever have and you are the dearest of fellows to finish up on. I dare say you will feel a little vexed, but you'll get over it, Charley, and when Bob and myself get settled down to housekeeping which I trust will be a long time yet you must come and see us and be a good friend to v our penitent Nellie. Tbe next was : Dear Philadelphia: You've bad a go-.d time with my intended wire and I haven't interfered ; voa indorsed my note for $i,000 and I won't cheat yoa oat of it. 1 trusted you and you came to "time;" you true ted me and here I am smiling. I enclose with tbis the note that yoa in dorsed and deeds conveying to yoa the whole of tbe Ajax. She's pinch ed, Philadelphia, and ain't worth a cuss. Yoa sa6e now tbe business that called me East, eh? Ta. ta. Mineral Bob. I have never seen them since. I don't want to. I went back to tbe old camp the following year. The boys don't tease me now, bnt I thrashed two of them aad got thrash ed by three before this silence oa tbe subject was observed. G. P. MacArihur. A t hild Tnrsred lata Mane.

Among the theories of fered, that contained in tha following will rank among the possibilities: "Tbe borse shoe w as of old held to be of special service as security against tbe attack of evil spirits. The virtue may have been assigned, perhaps, by tbe rule ct contraries, irom its being a thing incouipatiole with the cloven fooi tt the Evil Ooe ; from the rude resemblance which tte horseshoe bears to tte rays of glory which in ancient pictures are mafle to surround the beans cf .saints and angels ; or, finally, from some notions of its purity, acquired through the fire. This latter supposition receives some countenance from the method resorted to for the cure ot horees that bad become vicious, or a dieted with any distemper which the village farrier did not understand ; such dis ease was invariably attributed to witchcraft, and the mode ot cure seems to imply the beiief that the per fect puriScau-jti by lire ot the shots wLicn the animal wore kUorded fan inlet to malevolent influences.
