And all the cases cited that Were eyer tried before. Time passed, and these contestants strove With still increasing rae, Until the latest litigant Was bowed with care and age ; Till death with coldest diregard Cut off their arguments, Allowing plaintiffs no appeal, Defendants no defense. Also at last the lawyers died. And with a solemn face. The undertaker gravely said : "Lie here, and try my case !'' And thus I close my simple tale.

The weird pi rite of the storm marched op the valley bowling like angry demons, and with giant strength wrenUVd with the mighty oaka upon the hillsides, until they bowed their trembling limbs to the earth in mute supplication. How the windows of the old factory rat tled in the driving blast, and the young girl. Jessie Dene, drew her shawlcioBer about her as the damp ind came moaning in through evr. ery crtvice and cranny. ' 1 he 6 o clock bell had rung, the day's work was done, but still she lingered in the work-room, and fit ting on the window ledge, close up to the dirt-begrimed pane, her plain, homely face, with its frame-work of soft brown hair was almost hidden in the dull November twilight. With ' a. nervous restlessness her blender brown hand tied and untied the fringes of her coarse blanket shawl, while in and out of the wind ing passes of her brain the busy thoukbte came and went and went and came. Onlv a factory girl !" So a fair haired lady had raid that day as she passed her on the pavement and uatheml op her cilken garments daintily, lest they should be defiled by the touch, one remembered . . aa what the old pastor had saia last Sabbath day in the little church of the neighboring village oi hllen thorpe: "Oh, ye tich men, all your wealth will surely avail you nothing when you reach the river'd brink." She knew all this, and vet it wa. hard to walk always among the eliad ows. With a thud the waves came dash ing up against the moss covered walls of the old factory, and with a startling thrill nlie looked down from her dizzy perch in the third story window, and thought of the one frantic leap, a little struggle for breath, all would be over. Should she do it?" Would any body care? Ah me! There was a pale fare with the love-light ever shining in the brown eyes,, which she knew was watching for her even then in the brown house under the bill. O blessed mother! Anything for her. Perhaps by and by the purple gates of day will ttpen beyond the night, but though He bade her walk through a furnace heated seven times hotter than before, she would endure it all for her sake, and out of the depths of ber suffering the toul of Jessie Heane walked that night white-rob ed and purified. There came a dull, heavy footstep along the lower floor and up the creaking stairs , "Are you ready to go home, Jes sie?" . . She knew just what be would say, for be had ottered precisely the same words every night for the last six months, standing in the same place, fumbling his fur cap in awk ward embarrassment ; No I I'm riet ready to go home with vou" end Jessie" turned with a scornful air from the sturdy country youth. ' ' " ; -Here is my omoreiia. 100 win need it" It was a kindly voice, and came from a manly heart and looking: at her for a moment with a Questioning lot k, plain, honest John Brace turn ed aw ty and walked slowly down and out Into the damp street 8uch an awkward specimen of humanity," the girl murmured pet tishy ; and yet she knew the sun niest spots in he lite wert the pleas ant summer evening walks with him through the green country lanes to the brown farmhouse. , ; "If ; lie were only . a handsome and graceful as fiarry Bell," and as he tied ber hat ber ' gaze wandred wistfully over the river to the brown stone villa upon the bill, where, in stately magnificence, dwelt the own- r of the mul propertv uanvon BVIt ' In' her simplicity "she had . . sv t a . a to his overseer. ii late trie mous- tached yuan college gradubte, Har ry Bell had performed these duties for his father, and she now consul ered him the personification of man- Iv beauty and excellence. And co Jessie dreamed on, and at last, with the night shadows folding themselves closely about her, went slowly down the creaking stairway, with a heavy aching at her heart and a weary, wistful loaging in her brown eyes. . ' i But hark ! Up through the wind- .i I r . ing passage, witu me rusn oi me damp wind from the street door came a shrill cry of mortal agnnv and her blood ran cold while ber heart almost stilled its beating as she listened. One, two, three, horrid veils rent the air, mingled with the sound of failing blows and fierce oaths. The sounds came from the overseer's of fice at the foot of the stairs, and were beard with awful distinctness above the rear of the storm. Jessie knew that the last workman had left fifteen minutes before, and she was alone perhaps with a murder er and whiter than the faces of the sheeted dead was that of the young girt as she leaned for support against the smoky wall. The cries had ceased, a door open ed and closed, but still she - could bear the thud, thud of the wind l ished waves, and up from the street came the sickenfug stench of the rain-soaked debris. - But she must act ! And with the thought came renewed strength, and down the old stairs she went with Hying feet. At that instant in from the street came the same awkward form from which she nad turned so scorufullv five minutes before. How noble at d manly he looked in the hour of peril. "Thank God, you are here, John Brace !" and then they opened the office door and went iu together. Only the empty room, vacant and blank, with the shadows weaving themselves together in the dim and dusty corners, and the wind moan ing its weird anthem through the narrow pasaee. But what U that thing lving in manpled heap upon the low lounge behind the stove? Shapeless almost, and vet not lifeless, fur a. human hand is thrust out and on it is great gout of blood. V ith a pale face, but unpnaking hand, John Brace removed the cov ering and disclosed the ghastly dis figured face ot Thomas Morgan, the factory overseer, three great gasn- e acroes the throat from which the life-blood was fast ebbing, and the marks of heavy blows about the head were the sole traces of the murder. ; Poor little Jessie could endure no more, and when ltnr curious crowd cau.e hurrying in from the street they found ber lving prostrate upon the floor, and honest John Brace gazing in dumb horror open the scene. Three weeks bad passed, and through the low kitchen window of the farmhouse under the hill, the af ternoon snnlight shone blithely in, and wove its fairy embroideries m broad lines of gold upon the white hair of the busy housewife, as she passed with light footfalls across the floor, plying her daily tasks. Upon the little white-draped cot in the kitchen bed-room lay Jessie, with her poor face thinned almost o a shadow by wasting fever. For a long time, in a kind ot oumr, dreamy quiet, she lay counting the crimson leaves upon the woodbine over the window, listening to the cricket's dreams chirping under the door stone, and the sound of the dropping nuts in the forest, and then with a sudeen rush ot memory came the recollection of the events of that terrible night "Mothtr, mother, come and tell me. Have they found the murder- err "Can vou bear it, Jessie, if I tell you all?" and the poor woman look ed with yearning pity upon the worn, tired little face before her, Anything is better than suspense, mother," and so in trembling tones the poor woman told her all. "They have took him up for the murder, you know John Brace, I mean for they found him in the r iom with the dead man, ami his jack knife was on the floor covered with blood, and they do say the two have had a good many bard words of late. John was wanting more pav, and Morgan wouldn't give it to him, and they are both high-temper ed, you know. The trial comes off next week, and you'll have to be a witness," and the garrulous old mother expiated at length, upon the particulars of the horrid tragedy .but Jessie heard ber not What? John Brace to be tried for murder! Her John, whose coarse brown hand she had held so often in her own in the olden time, and whose honest eyes had again and again looked down in hers, with the light of a noble tenderness shining in them. Tried for life? It must not, should cot be, and she remem bered with a thrill of satisfaction that her testimony. would save him, for did she not see him come in from the street before she reached the foot of the stairs ? And then came anatber thought chilling her to the heart She did not - bear him speak after all, and she had only said, "Thank God, you are here, John Brace," when they went into the office together. Per haps it was all a mistake he might be the murderer and then away down in the depth of her heart Jes sie realized the length and breadth and depth of her love for poor John Brace, and in all ber misery her soul sent forth one plaintiff cry: "Oh, God, pity me ! Oh, God, pity me!" --" - Though I walk through the val of no avail against the powerful cir cumstantial evidence against him. ' . For weeks the stricken girl hover ed very near the gates of death, bot tbey were closed against her, and at last she gathered up her strength and turLed her feet again into life's busy path's. Sanctified through suffering. That was the story her pale, sweet face told, as she took op her burdens again, and with cheer ful patience toiled on. Two years bad stepped back into the shadows of the past and the primroses were sprinkled thickly in the dim old lane, filling the air with their fragrance, as Jessie brushed the dew from their petals in ber homeward walk. A quick, firm step came op behind her, and her slight form was lifted high up from the ground in the grasp of two stur dy arms, and a brown bearded face bent over hers in passionate tender ness. "I hardly know where to begin the story, Jessie darling," said John Brace that night in the brown farm house kitcheu. "My name is cleared from all dis honor by Harry Bell's confession. When death came near to him be was ready to tell the story. He had been gambling and betting heavily that summer, and getting involved pretty heavily. He was trying that night to coax a thousand dollars of his father's money out of honest Thomas Morgan. Both got aagry and excited and you know the rest." A solemn prayer of thanksgiving ascended that night from three unit ed hearts to Him who had delivered them from evil, and guided their tir tired footsteps into the narrow way, which leads to the shining moun tains ot the City Beautiful, "Oat of the darkness into the light" llYN'AMITE. .

Few people know what dynamite is, though the word is in common use. It is a giant gunpowder. That is an explosive material, varying in strength and safety of handling ac cording to the percentage of nitro glycerine it contains. Nitro glycer ine, whence it derives its strength, is composed of ordinary grycerine and nitric acid compounded togeth er in certain proportions and at a certain temperature.

The battle of Abu-Klea wells, the story of which has already been published, was fought on Saturday, the 17th. Gen. Stewart employed what was left of the day after the fight and a large part of Sunday in establishing a strong post at Abu-Klea. There those who had been seriously wounded in the battle were left with a small garrison. On the after noon of the ISth General Stewart began bis forward movement toward Metemneb. After parsing the Sbe baca wells the British forces moved to the right This was in accord ance with instructions given by Lord Wolseley, who bad otdered that in case Metemneb. was found to be occupied by the enemy Gener al Stewart should make an effort to establish bimself at some point on the Nile between Metemneh and Khartoum. His forces consisted of ninety men of the Nineteenth Hus sars, the three divisions of the Camel Corps, in all about 1.0S0 men. At seven o'clock on the morning of the 19th, when the British line was barely a league from the river, the enemy appeared in force some dis tance in tront A hail was there upon made for breakfast in a strong zereba established there. The enemy presently opened fire upon them, and while they were strengtening their works for a pro tection to the wounded and baggage, the fire was the heaviest that th British had yet been subjected to. It was while they were still at tbis point that General Stewart was wounded. Sir Charles Wilson there upon assumed command. The en emy numbered 7,000 men, a large number of whom were cavalrymen armed with rides, and the fight which followed was a severe one. . THE BATTLE DESCRIBED. The latest dispatches received at the War Office show that the point where the battle occurred is in the desert about five miles south from Metemneb. When Gen. Stewart reached that point he found the en emy were havering about his little army on all sides and skirting it often within uncomfortably short range. The rebels had evidently stationed themselves in the vicinity to await his arrival and give him battle. When they began to sur round him and press in upon him he determined to abide the event. He ordered his men to dismount is preferred. ' It is extensively made and consumed in the United States, under the various names of Giant, Hercules, Jupiter, and Atlas pow ders, all of which contains anywhere from oO to SO per cent of nitro-glyc-erine, the balance of the compound being made up of rotten stone, non- explosive earth, sawdust, charcoal, plaster of pans, black powder, or some other substance that takes up the glycerine and makes a porous, spongy mass. Nitro-glycenne was discovered bv Salvero, an Italian chemist, in 1845. Dynamite is prepared by simply kneading with the naked bands 25 per cent of infusorial earth and 75 per cent of nitro-glycerine until the mixture assumes a putty condition, not unlike moist brown sugar. Be fore mixing the infusorial earth is calcined in a furnace in order to burn out all organic matter, and it is also sifted to free it of large grains. V bile still moist it is squeezed into cartridges, which are prepared of parchment paper, and the bnng is done by fulminate of uilver in cop per capsules provided with patent exploders.

" This fire was very well directed and was most disasterous in its effect upon the British troops. Twelve men were soon shot dead and forty others were stricken down with ugly wounds. Among the first killed were Mr. Cameron, the special correspondent of the London Standard, and Mr. Herbert, the special correspendentnf the London JPost. But two commissioned offi cers were killed. Gen. Stewart was one of the first to be wounded. He was shot in the thigh. When he was struck the work of making the zareba was about completed and the army bad been put in motion to form its battle array. This was a hollow square. The square was formed in the following order: fn front the naval brigade and the Grenadier Guards; on the right Sank the Coldstream Guards and the Scots Guards; on the left flank the mounted infantry, and on the rear the Sussex regiment and the heavy camel corps. As soon as completed the square advanced un der a heavy ambush fire a distance of two miles. At this point the en emy began to advance on the square in two large echelons. These were directed against the British right front, which stood unmoved. Dur ing the rebel charge the English troops forming the assailed front delivered a terrific fire right at the enemy's middle, mowing down men in ouch heaps that they formed ac tual obstacles and interfered so ee riously with the evenness necessary to the success of the onslaught that its centre line was brought to t stand-still about sixtv yards from the British front line. The force of the general movement threw the unimpeded parb of the line like the ends of a broken timber around the corners of the square, and the rebels so displaced were simply cut to pieces. From this on, the war fare was as disasterous to the rebels as it was irregular on their side. v hen the enemy s line was brok en tbe Arabs seemed to break up into bands, each of which waged war on its own account A large detachment, mostly on horseback, went back to attack tbe zareba.

Lord unaries uerestord was in command and sustained the attack ior two hours, when the en emy was compelled to retreat Daring the general attack upon tbe square only six men were killed and twenty-three wounded on the English side. Capt. Norton worked the guns during this fight, and bis firing did awful execution. During tbe. advance of the mam body of the English from the zareba the garrison left behind at that point kept up a heavy fire from their guns and rifles. An effort was made to erect a small redoubt some buy yards to tbe right of the zareba, un der the protection of the steady fire from the zareba. Dunng the erec tion of tbe redoubt one man was killed and three were wounded. Lord Cochrane, with forty men from tbe Life Guard and the Scots Grays, held the redoubt and . maintained a heavy fire throughout the battle. Tbey did much to repel the rushes of tbe enemy.

"Bob Burdette, the humorist, could well feel Mattered at the audi ence assembled at Farwell Hall last evening to bear his lecture on 'The Pilgrimage of a Fanny Man," be cause it was a large and apprecia tive one. His style differs some- I what from other popalar humorists iu kUBfc luuuuueuoa ui Wife ia de picted on his countenance, and it can be said of him that he laughs at his own jokes. This, however, does not detract from bis power, but, on the contrary, tbe merry twinkle of his eyes and the smile that gatheres on his countenance just as he is about to give utterance to some mirth-provoking sentence affects the audience spontaneously, tbe laughter is contagious, and this was heartily mauifested more than once last night. He said it was easier to be funny in these days than in the "good old days," be cause -the material for it existed and there were those who know how to make the best of it Tbe periodical called Puck, said the lec turer, "was born in a suburban town of yours St Louis. As soon as tbe proprietors ot it learned Eng lish they located the paper in New York." For a long time he bad laughed heartily over the English pictures in a Dutch book. People nowadays liked their fun in the daily newspapers alongside of an account of an explosion. It was a long time before tbe people knew whether Hayes or Tilden was elect ed. Some people did not know yet Mr. Dana, for instance. The whole funny business of the news papers was made op from observa tion and nothing more. Man did not make fun, it already existed, and the secret was fouud in seizing on the material and bringing the fun out of it There was nothing in a stove-pipe to langh at but when a man came borne and lound bis wife had stacked up a pile for him to exercise his ingenuity upon he could not see anything funny about it but be bad considerable to say to himself when be went into the wood shed and thought the matter over. When a man fell from tbe top stair to the bottom be did not see any thing funny in it, but when he read an account of another man gjiog through the same performance he read it with great glee to the mem bers of bis family. Mr. Burdette then reviewed the life of noted hu morists, such as Charles Lamb, and showed how he lightened up the world by bis wit, although he was at times" bordering on insanity and caring for a maniac sister. The lec turer toward the close told the story of a neighbor of his who bad read some where that the sting of wasps was a certain cure for rheumatism. He convulsed the house with laugh ter by his description of the good man': performances after ctrrying a bottle full of wasps to bed with him in order to test the cure. In conclusion he said that all should let the sunshine of their hearts come out opon their countenance?, and by looking on the bright side of life make the world the better for having lived in it Three residents of Wellsville, Al legheny county, N. Y., named James Bailey, James Clay and Mor ris Marcey. while fox buntiDg near the State line, a few days ago, came upon the tracks of three bears. They followed them to a hole in the rocks known as Sim's Cave, nearly five miles from the place where the tracks were discovered. The hunt ers built a fire in the mouth ot tbe opening, which extends several feet back in the ledge, the first few feet being a narrow passage. Tbe Bmoke of the fire entered the passage and drove one of the bears to the mouth, where it was shot and dragged out It was a spring cub. A minute la ter anothor bear stuck its bead out of the passage, and was killed. This was a very large one. The third bear did not come out and Morris Marcey crawled into the cave, taking his pun with him. 1 be other two heard the report of bis gun soon af terward, wbich was followed by an gry cries from the bear, and sounds of a struggle in tbe cave. The hun ters on the outside were undecided what course to take for a minute or so, and thta Bailey resolved to go in the cave and tM if he could aid Marcey. Just then Marcey 's head and shoulders were thrust out of the opening. His face was covered with blood. He shouted for help, saying that the bear had him clasied tight ly around the legs with its fore paws and was trying to drag him back. The two men seized Marcey by the arms and pulled him out of the pas sage. The bear clung to him until it was pulled far enough forward to see the two men outside, when it let go. It rushed out of the cave at once, however, and dashed furiously at the men. They ran in different directions. The bear followed Bai ley. Clay returned and got his gun and started after the bear. He came up with it as U was pressing Bailey into close quarters and, placing the muzzle of the gun against its head, sent a bullet through its brain. .Marcey had lighted a match on entering the cave, and saw the bear crouching in one corner. He fired at once, but only wounded the ani mial, which attacked, him furiously in the dark. Before he could make his escape he was badly cut and torn by the bear's claws, there being hardly a stitt h of ojothing left on him from the waist down.

Miss Emma Sensenich, of Beartown, is the daughter of George Sensenich. a prominent tanner, who died four years ago... Miss Sensenich is near ly thirty-seven years old, and never spoke to anyone but ber mother and two sisters. Although tenderly caring for her father m his last ill ness, she never spoke to him. She was the only one present when he died. She went to school and ob tained a fair education, but never recited a lesson nor spoke to teacher or schoolmate. When a child, her father tempted her with gold pieces to speak to him, but she would not, or could not, speak. She has always abhorred men, but was fond of the society of ladies, answering their remarks simply with smiles. Inheriting some mon ey, she bought a house, which after ward became the parsonage of the Bridgeville Church. Her mother acted for her in the purchase of the house. Last Thursday, upon com ing down stairs suddenly, she found her mother lying on the floor in the agonies of death, and before assist ance arrived the mother had died in the mute danghter's arms. Since then she has talked freely to every one. A gentleman from that sec tion to-day says she continues to talk, but offers no explanation, if she has any, of the past Dr. Lyman Beecher was noted for hia absence of mind and forgetful- ness. Sirs. Ueecher once received a sum of money, and it was the occa sion of great rejoicing that it would enable them to pay a bill for a car pet, so she committed the money to her husband, charging him to at tend to the matter immediately. In the evening the doctor return ed from the city in high spirit. He described to us a missionary meet ing he bad attended. u Doctor," said Mrs. Beecher, "did you pay tor that carpet to day?" "Carpet! What carpet?" respond ed the doctor. "Why, the one I gave you the money to pay for tbis morning." " There," said tbe docter, " that accounts for it. At tbe missionary meeting they took op a contribu tion. When tbey came to me I said I had no money to give them wished I had at tbe same time feeling in my pocket, where, to my surprise, I found a roll of bills ; so I pulled it out and put it in tbe box, wondering where it had come from, but thinking tbe Lord had some how provided."
