' ' , ' A FEARFUI NIGHT. - - I was invited to a lunch party in one of the inland cities of fennsyl Vania not long ago, and was much impressed by the appearance or one of the vouneer ladies present. She was not beautiful, but united tbe striking characteristics of a brilliant, fresh complexion, ana a prolusion of hair, white as snow, which was wound on the top of her head after the fashion of iIadrozo'BaMarquise," belonging to Mrs. A: T. etewart She was very merry, a good talker, and. I must confess. I contrived to accupy the larger part of her atten tion with the tendency towara mo nonolizing the best which the mo ment affords that I am told is often observed bv mv familiars. " After bidding adien to the ladies. I turned to tbe obliging friend who had been my Bponser at these inci dental cavities of .and casually remarked, after talking somewhat of my new acquaintance : . "Uy Jove wiiat hair I it accents her whole aruearance. Wasnt she lucky to achieve it young ?'' wy lnena removea nis cigar. "That depends upon how you look at it " I am inclined to think, taking things by and large, that she was. I doubt, : however, u she wouldn't say to-day that the price was rather laree. And it was a Dret- ly Dig price, uo you. use suuies i I'm minded to tell one, if you ' like, about the white hair you admire so a N-a " . - ! - a. - . A much." . " . , We". went overto the hotel and something- like this my. friend told ne : . . "You have no idea, you city peo ple, the interest we country , people take in the ' courtships , ol young folks. rom the time Harry wells began to sadle op to Mamie Clausen at church socials until their mar riage in the First- Presbyterian church the entire community gave minute consideration to their al- taira. Mamie's father, John Clausen, was and is now a prominent . com- mission merchant, generally consid ered wealthy, and has always, lived at least like a man of means. Ma mie was pretty and dashing, a local belle ana a sreat favorite. Harrv's peepl lived a few miles from town, and they, too, were peopleof reputa tion io the county;: Ola Jack Wells represented us a lew times in the Legislature and has accumulated in one way and another a Handsome property. s; - The marriare was m everv way a suitable one. - Harry was educat ed at Princeton, and although be had at one time the reputation of being wild, he has sobered down, and was at any rate such a frank, manly- voting fellow that he was generally forgiven any discretion. As 1 say, the marriage was the oc casion of general rejoicing. Mamie's father gave her an unusually good send off, and the details were sent far and wide through the State. Harry had studied law, although he didn t have much natural inclina tion for it, the old man thinking his Eolitical experience might serve any in that way, and had settled down into a country notary, drawing op deeds and doing up hack-work of that sort They lived about four miles out' of town, and two miles from old Jack's.' He had built them a pretty modern erttage on a detach ed! portion of his form. Harry had his office, an ornamental little struc ture, a few rods from the house, and there they lived -as happy as two birds. Gradnajlr Harrr nicked tin buai. ness, and finally through bis father be became 1x118108 tor me minor heirs. They were an odd lot of chil dren; with a half-crazy mother and no end to coal mines and mining investments. " It was s good thing for Harry, although-it gave a natu rally lazy man some additional work. The worst thing was that it obliged him to go to Scran ton now and then and leave Mamie.'' You may imag ine that there was a rood deal of vis iting at the bouse of two such pop ular young people,' and that four- mile stretcn 01 oaa was generally kept pretty warm.- When Hatty had to go away Mamie would get m her nhavetia aad "driver To town, and there was always some of the young people to go out and keep her com pany. ' Harry always insisted that she mustn't stay alone. - For a law abiding State we have a pretty rough lemAnt' in it and. althouzh we haven't had much to complain of here, there is a general sense of nn- esaness.' ; - 'r ' OneAcust afternoon Harry had an unexcected summons to go to Scran ton about a suit connected with the minor lieiri ; He had recently gold some cf their property and had I EST, A BISKD, 10S7. PiU ' AHimi2; 1832: been making various ccilecana, which left in his hABds about (MXO. When he round be bad to ro c J at a few momenta notice he wrarped up a bunaie ot papers ana bis mon ey and took them into the house. Mamie was making preparation for a picnic they were to go to the next day, and begged bim to wait until the day after. 5 "But, my; dear child, I haven't time even to go to town and put these in the bank, so you U nave to take care of them. " I'D try and get back in two days at the furthest, meanwhile nobody will know that the money is here." .'" ' I. Then he explained lb her the value of the papers and handed her . 1 i a canvass oag, in wmcn was me $4,500 belonging to the minor heirs. "Where ' will I keep it, Harry? Between the mattressee?" . t - " "Just like a woman! ; No. but I declare I dont know where to tell you. The most insecure place ap parently . is often . the most secure. Any place, dear, but between tbe mattresses. I leave that ' to you. But you must guard it, if necessary, with your life, for remember the money is not ours, and at all has zards I am responsible.,1; I dont really suppose there is the least dan ger, for no one knows I have it But one ought to take proper precautions, and I beg of you not to admit any tramps while I. am gone. i Tell Sa rah not even to allow them tojrtop long enought to eat a biscuit" j - "All right dear, we Wont let the tramps have a drink even, and 111 take care of tbe money you may be sure."., , . ' a -!.. ; Harry ; bade . his wife good-bye and Mamie gave up the picnic. ' At the end of two days she received a telegram from him, saying he had been detained, and tellimr her to cet some one . to stay with her for two days. ' when he would be at borne. She drove into town and one of her old friends went out with her. At the end of two days she had anoth er telegram, saying he had been de tained until the .next; day. Her friend went home, and in place of Harry came a third telegram, and so every day lor ten aays ne was ex pected home, and every day came a disappointing telegram. ' By this time she had become accustomed to her charge. Which she had set like a bag of seed beans in a corner of a dark closet opening from her room. Ibe .afternoon ol the tenth, day was a hot murkey afternoon.. ;. Ma mie had gone up stairs to take a nap and refresh before dressing to meet Harry, who was expected home af ter the longest - absence he had ever made from her. J ' ;- A After a time Sarah came op and told her there was a tramp down stairs who wanted something to eat, and who would not be driven off. "You oughtn't to leave him a mi nute alone,' Sarah. ! Go down and watch him, and I. will come down and send him of?. "' : '' She dressed herself quickly and went down stairs, surprised to find how late it had crown. . When she reached the kitchen she found also messenger with another telegram which' announced ' another , disap pointment but the next day, with out fail,' Harry . wrote, he would be home.' As Mamie' turned into the kitchen she heard the .tramp and Sarah in evident dispute. -T '. .. ." Yes " said the fellow, when that time comes your mistress wul have another ironing table, helpiag you, instead of wearing .' her Sunday clothes every day." ; " "An' 8poilm' everything for me to do over. I think 1 see her I've work enough to do," answered hon est Sarah, not indisposed to have a chat, over her work. . " ". j ' '. '. 1 s Mamie found a graceless-looking fellow, unshaven and 'ill-dressed who, with a certain gentlemanly in stinct, rose up as she came in. .' : 1, suppose my girl told yoa we had nothing for you, and that it will be a great kindness if you will leave as soon s possible.". " Yes, she did just that, madame, but I took it upon myself to belitve it wasnt so urgent The truth is, I'm very hungry and dead tired, and I didn't believe but that yoa would five me something to eat; at . least 've waited to ask yoa in person." ' Women are soft-hearted creatures. Mamie went and got him something to eat, herself.,. The darkness that had been . increasing for some time came down rapidly and there burst one of those terrifuc thunder-storms that gather so suddenly and with such force in this country. After its strength was spent and I re member that it was the most violent of the . season there, fell stead v sheets of rain that brought Rock Creek over the bridges before morn ing.- ' i'.: ; ! : . . ' :T I ' "Madam, it's no use in talking. Yoa cant mean to send a fellow out in such a storm," said the tramp, as the three stood on the porch watch ing the storm. : 1 '.-...'.; I'm sorry, butl vejio place - jor you." : i , i "What, in a bouse lik this. . It's a pity there isn't a cranny for a stow away. I was . walking around it, waiting for the girl; and it seems to be able to hold three people." . , Yoa are very ; impertinent ; l have no place for you, and the storm is already breaking away." . As she spoke even tbe . rain came down in blinding , sheets, and light ning streaked the heavens. -"..'.. Wtll,hetsidcaT,lely,"wedont o much on manners on the' road, ut I know I wouldnt send a dog out such a nipht like this. .I'm not a particular chap, leastwise not now adays, and 111 have toinsifctonytmr giving me some sore 01 euct s only your dog-kenneL" - ' The man1 spoke ' with 'decision. 1 Mamie felt that after all they were really in his - power, and possibly it might be worth wtile to do dvilly what she would probably have to do at-1astr'-.::;-:; i0 )- "I will keep you on one , condi tion," she eaii ! There is av lo3 to the house, a sort of a garret, which is very comfortahle. It is closed with a trap door, and ..yon may ! deep on the lounge there if you wilt .al low us to lock the door, on the out side."' v'"-i- :i Bless my starr and garters !" he said, looking at heT-curiocsly. "I don,t care where yoa lctkthe daor.n ii-j .-v' They took him an stairs, and he climbed up the steep attie stairs. The- women : shut the ' door ; as he very; politely 1 bade them good night, and they fastened the padlock, hearing him chuckle to himself as he kicked off his boots. ' ' 1 1 - Td Uke the key, muin," said Sa rah, -r;"-. :; ; ;. ; Mamie took the key with her and the two descended to shot op ' the house. : After they had made every thing secure they -went back up stairs. : i.- o- L. ; "Yoa must sleep in my room to nsortt ! Rif.1, :.i Sarah dragged in her bedding and made a pallet on the floor, and then. after the custom of women, they ex amined the closets, looked under the bed and piled the chairs against the locked door. The rain was still fall ing heavily and tbe night was black as ink. The mistress and maid went to bed and, although worried and anxious, finally 'went to sleep. Alter midnight Mamie found her self awake and a bright light shin ing in the room.' She started up and saw that it was tbe moonlight The stem had cleared away at latt She got op unable to compose her. self immediately, and went to " the window. ' The moon was indeed shin ing brightly. As she Btood looking at the peaceful scene before her she saw way down tne road, for it was as bright as day several horsemen. It was such an unusual sight at this hour that sbe stood watching them as they came "nearer.' To her sur prise they turned up the ' lane lead ing toward their bouse, and on reaching the gate came - into the yard; Now, almost paralized with tear, she saw that they were mask ed. ': The tn.th almost blinded her, Thev knew that she wm alone, that sbe bad this money and they had come to get it' For a moment she was ; paralyzed.' She remembered Harry's last words: "You must guard it with your life if necessary' bhe ran to the sleeping Sarah and awakened her. she got down liar- ry rifle, which he had loaded and taught her to use. ' The sleeping girl was soon thoroughly awake, and she explained to ber their condition. "It's tbe trump that's done it "The tramp.

The man sprang up at the'sound. -i "Come, come wfth me." ; His own senses aleTt7affd"tiearing the noise of the horses below and steps about the house, he followed her without a word,'-' At the foot of' the 'stairs she stopped. : " ' '' ' i "I have a large sum of money in the house and those men ."' nave come to get it, thinking I am alone.

He may have nothing to do with the proposed changes, but every body seems to think that he has. : It was thought. .that . the father-in-law of General Grant's 'son, ex-Senator Chaffee, would be made Secretary of tbe Interior, but it seema that sena tor, Teller, of Colorado, is to have the place.- If the Indians read the pa pers, they are now trembling in their boots, if they have any boots, 'with the announcement that Teller will be over the-head of the Indian ' Bu reau.

If the truth were known , he believes with : General Sheridan that tile best Indian is a dead ' Indi an,' and that they have no more right to the splendid western domain than the panther an cay otes while they help to make it a. howling wilder ness. " .We see too much efthe Indi an here at Washington. There ; is nearly: always a. delegation i from sonie tribe, here ostensibly lor. the purpose of having a talk with' their "Great Father," President: Arthur. Their talks amount to nothing, and are good for nothing, and it is strange that the President .does not stop such: empty . hambuggery,' ..These talks are gotten up by , the Indian agents who become tired of the dull ness and nothing-to-do-ness of fron tier post life, and. desirous of having a picnic, they bring half-a-dozen filthy chiefs to Washington to talk over some imaginary grievance which if it were a real grievance could be much . better adjusted on the ground, at that end of the line. To return from the frontier to the Cabinet it is rumored - that General Beale who was Minister, to Austria under Grant's, first term, will be made Secretary of the Navy m place of Judee Hunt W'mi E.

The location being selected, it is there left as a prey to carrion birds, dogs and in sects, Sometimes tbe hide is taken off and the remainder of the carcass is thrown away. ' It is a serious mis take to .waste the carcasses in such a manner, as the flesh is rich for fer tilizing matter of the most valuable kind, and the bones are useful also. There are several . methods of dis posing of them without trouble, the quickest being the immediate de composing of the animal in the ma nure heap, which is simply chopping it up in pieces' and placing the nieces in the centre oftbe compost Or. if preferred, the carcass can be taken to some selected. point and covered with a thick . covering of earth, there to remain until it de cays, in which case the earth absorbs the gasses to a trreat degree, and the carcass is thus disposed of. It-should be protected against dogs by a cov ering of rails or boards, to prevent the earth beincr scratched away from it ' In the course of time the bones can be ground or pulverized at lei sure and dissolved with sulphuric acid; which renders them' available for plant food at ' once. Dead an imals are som times more valuable than when living. The French buy dilapidated horses, kill them and use them for fertilizing purposes. The English are very careful to use every' portion of them en tral8, meat 'and bones. The Dutch' have 'large pots filled with boilingr water and ire. into which they throw flesh and bones, letting it boil for a few hours and afterwards pour, when cooled, into barrels. In a few weeks they find the bones partly dissolved. .The liquid is poured over the manure, the undis solved bones first pounded and mix ed 'with manure. This is a good method of preparation, but the mass should be comnoeed with earth, as the lye is detrimental to the manure heap on account of its propensity to liberate nitrogen. ' The ' matter of of the disposal of "carcasses is . not a difficult one, as any farmer cau easily summon sufficient ingenuity for bis purpose, but .the ' fault . is that the farmer does not preserve them for use at all, thus deprivinj himself of valuable enriching matter. . A dead hone or cow is worth a ton of the best farmyard man ore, and probably more.- valuable than, two or three tons of unprotected manure. Phila delphia Becord. ',- An Kloqneot Passage.

Tbe smile brigt ened, lingered, and then faded a way, and a corner of the old calico apron went up to wipe away a tear. Then the eldest child stepped for ward and asked : "Are yoa sorry becaasa yoa haven t got any children?''

While th inhabitants of the Span ish village -Unarre were attending the celebration of the midnight mass in their parish church on Christmas eve last, a terrible surprise was await ing them outside the sacred edifice. During the service a pack of hungry wolves had gathered around the church doors, and when these were thrown open to let the congregation out the ferocious brutes, stimulated by famine to an unusual display of audacity, made a desperate on slaught upon tbe crowd. According to an eye witness an indescribable panic ensued. Men and women alike, screaming for aid, strove to escape from their savage assailants; several, while struggling frantically to reach the doorway, fell down and found themselves at the mercy of the famished wolves. The only man who displayed any presence of mind was the sacristan, who contrived to clamber into the pulpit, and thence imitated the bark of a dog so effect ively that tbe invaders took fright and fled, but not before they . had killed three of their victims and man gled five' others so horribly that they were not expected to recover at the time when this tragical affair was published in the Spanish papers.

Rea for the Weary. What a strange thought t All the world is seeking rest Those who drag their weary bodies home night after night and fall down on their restless beds worried with the anxie ties and cares of business, and yet seeking rest It is found in pover ty ; perhaps it lurks under the rich man, all the while that he lies groan ing upon hia couch or stands with wrinkled brow perplexed with care. Where is rest? What is rest? It is the divine principle of peace that comes from God. As well seek roses on the pallid cheek, of death as rest out . of . God. The needle rests not till it turns to the pole. If a little child is frightened at play, be comes running into the house af ter his mother. She takes him into her bosom, presses kisses upon his brow, and while she sings some lul aby of love, all fear fades from his face and he sleeps in peace. God wants to fill a mother's place to all the world. If it be misfortune or poverty, or gloomy, foreboding that makes one unhappy, God can give him rest and ' breathe a lullaby of love about his tempest tossed soul will still its ringing. Rest peace, is a principle that lies within us, not without Some not possessing it, have a crowned head uneasy. . O, that every anxious, longing heart would look to him who walketh among tne golden lamps of heaven. "Take mv yoke upon you, and ye shall find rest unto vour souls." -. ' Aa Ohl Valentiate. The Ledger, of Easton. Md., says that a valentine sent by a youth in Washington to a girl in Easton, re calls a story of a name of note in American history. The name of the sender of the missive ia Bcturn J. Meigs, and tho same christiin name has been in the Meigs fam ily for : several generations. Many years ago, . in ianu:revoiutionary days, Jonathan - Meigs couyj a young lady who rejected VjiTad dresses. Meigs continued to love the girl, though too proud to try a second time to win her, he determin ed never to marry anyone else, and to live and diea bachelor unless, she of her own volition relented. After a few years the lady did re lent, or perhaps ' got to know her own heart better, and sent a letter to her former suitor. . Meigs got the letter and found in it only two words: "Return Jonathan." It was enough. Jonathan did return and made her his wife. The first child was baptized, "Return Jona than," to commemorate tbe brief letter that saved the Meigs family from extinction, and from that day to this there have been a Return J.
