FOR LOVE.
Time baa laid bis hand upon my heart
gently, not smiting it. but as a harper lays
bis open palm upon bis barp to deaden its
vibrations. OMen Legend.
It waa a bright, lovely morniag in
January, just each a cue as made
the huntsman's bugle-call souud
like welcome oiumc. The air was
crisp and invigorating, the sky a
vast expanse of cloudless blue, and
the snowy branches of the trees glis
tening with a thousand dewy crys
tals. ,
A goodfy group of rollicking
sportsmen had come together lor the
"meet," and their scarlet coats form
ed a marked con Iras t with the pure,
untrodden enow, which made mead
ows and roads for miles around look
like a vast plain of fairyland;
Seen in the morning sunlight, it
was a picturesque sight, this gather
ing upon tbe village green of hunts
men on their pawing, impatient
horse9, with their well-shaven
grooms and baying dogs anxious for
the day s sport.
cy Jove, a pretty woman never
looks better than on horseback 1''
exclaimed one of the party, who
had been looking very expectantly
toward the road.
"And here comes Miss Lestrange
to exempliiy my theory," he con
tinued, by a young girl, escorted b
an elderly man, cantered up to the
party.
She wore a dark green riding hab
it, which showed to advantage the
perfect grace of her slight figure. A
small velvet hat of the same color.
with long, floating plume, heighten
ed tbe charm ot her delicately chis
elled features. She responded
gracefully to the greetings and com
pliments ollered her, but held out
tier euia'l, gloved hand only to the
young lad who had first spoken of
her.
That he and Evelyn Lestrange
were old friends soon became mani
fest, for he rode uninvited by her
side as they passed slowly through
the village. Arrived at a point sin I
in the outskirts, Evelyn slackened
her horse's speed, and contrived to
remain a short distance behind the
party.- Her eager gla ne'e had" falleh
upon a young man who leaned over
the gate of the vicarage garden, and
who evidently awaited her approach.
The long, sorrowful glance in
which their eyes met spoke volumes.
And was it by accident or design
that the white rose which EvelyD
wore in her belt fell at the young
man's feet?
Neither the stolen glance nor the
movement which followed escaped
the watchful eye of Sir Gilbert Hill
bank, Evelyn's companion.
HiB face clouded visibly.
"You looi sad this moaning, Eve
lyn, he said, as he looked inquir
ingly into the depth of her dark,
expressive eyes. "Do you fear a
lecture next Sunday, from Mr. Selby
ou the sin young ladies commit who
waste their day in the frivolous pat
time of fox-hunting, when their
young minister friends are debarred
from such amusements ?"
A flush arose on Evelyn's fair
cheek as, with a spirit and dignity
natuial to her, ehe replied :
"Mr. Selby never presumes to lec
ture me. But any advice he might
oner, would, 1 know, be wise and
friendly." ........
, "tie is lonucate to nave so ear
nest a champion," remarked Sir Gil
bert He was prevented from con
tinuing, as at these words Evelyn
rode on hastily and rejoined tbe par
ty. The fox was soon drawn from his
cover, and everything else seemed
forgotten in the excitement of the
chase. Evelyn had entered into it
with full heart and soul, but just be
fore the master of the hounds had
got "the brush," her horse after
clearing a hedge, slipped and threw
her violently to the ground.
Sir Gilbert was the only member
of the party near Evelyn, and on
Beeing the accident he reined in his
horse at once and came to her relief.
The s injuries she " had " sustained.
though not serious, still were grave
enough to render it advisable to
send for a carriage so that Evelyn
might drive borne. Messengers were
at once dispatched to obtain one, but
tbe shades ot evening began to gath
er before any covevance appeared.
bo Sir tiilbert helped Jtvelv into her
saddle, and they rode slowly to Air
mount her home.
A Btrange friendship existed be
tween the rough, generous kind
hearted baronet, and the refined.
graceful Evelyn.
that bit Oiibert was devotedly
attached to her was evident, for be
lost no opportunity of displaying
his s flection. ..-.-..
On Evelva's part there existed no
feeling more strong than childlike
confidence and warm friendship.
. l et there had never been a decla
ration of love on tbe part of the bar
onet, for -be knew that Evelyn would
never be influenced by worldly con
siderations, and had reason to fear
that her heart bad been already giv
en to Norman Selby, the young
clergyman of tbe parish in which
she lives, and he had long determin
ed to discover the truth from lips
which still be felt bad only to speak
to dash bis hopes to the ground. -
A favorable ; opportunity now
seemed to present (self, as he rode
slowly by Evelyn's side through the
Bilent lanes.
"I want to exercise the privilege
of an old friend and ask yon a ques
tion," began Sir Gilbert, abruptly ;
"the truth, bitter as it is sure to be,
cannot be mote unbearable than the
wretched suspense I have been kept
in lately," be continued with a great
effort, fixing his eyes searchingly on
her blushing face.
ESTjBIilSBLED 1827.
SOMERSET, PA.. WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 7, 1885.
"Are you engaged to Norman Sel
by?" -
Evelyn's eyes suffused with tears
as she replied :
"I should be if my father did not
bitterly oppose it : but Sir Gilbert, I
do not care to speak on this painful
subject, even to you, one of my old
est and best friends, for my love
foi Mr. Selby nas caused me so
much unbappiness." ,
"Bui why does your father object
to your marrying bun ? inquired
Sir Gilbert, trying to assume a calm
ness be was far from feeling.
Evelyn remained silent. '
"Tell me your troubles now just as
you used to do when we were chil
dren together," continued Sir Gil
bert v- .. .
The warmth and ieeling express
ed in his tone and the conviction
that genuine interest in her welfare
prouipted bis question, caused Ev
elyn to throw 1T her usual reserve,
and she told him frankly that her
father s only real objection to
Aorman Selby was bis compara
tive poverty. His parish was a
small one, and ' it might be many
years before he would be able to of
fer her a home such as she had been
accustomed to. Her father was im
plicate in his resolution that she
should never marry a man who
could not do this.
Sir Gilbert listened in silence. He
understood how the happiness of
two lovinc hearts was at stake. He
Dlainlv saw : the whole wealth of
tenderness of Evelyn'B nature was
lavished- on Norman, and he further
discovered that their attachment has
continued for three years hopelessly
yet no les9 faithfully.
Already his nnseltish, generous
spirit prompted him to try and se
cure the happiness ot the girl he
loved, even though that were to give
her to his rival.
Arrived at Airraount, he left Eve
lyn and rode homeward. Conflict
ing thoughts filled hi3 mind.
Strangely enough, he had in his gift
arich livins, which he had intended
to offer to an old college chum of
his, a bachelor, but his conversation
with Evelyn had filled him with a
new resolve. jAfter a few hours' de
liberation , he bad decided what to
do. He sought Norman Selby and,
without alluding to Evelyn in the
slightest degree, offered him the va
cant living if AVeslbrook, which of
fer, it is needless to add, was joyful
ly and gratefully accepted.
Time sped on, mellowing life into
ripeness.. Here in its course is shed
a sorrow, there a joy. Succeeding
years had filled the lives of Evelyn
and Norman Selby with more of tbe
sunshine of prosperity than is usual
ly acorded to the most favored lot.
Norman's talents had been recogniz
ed iu his new jphere, and the gilt of
Sir Gilbert turned out to be but the
stepping stone to fortune. It bad
been succeeded by a still richer liv
ing, presented by the hands of royal
ty itself, and Norman was now a
well-known and popular preacher at
the English Court.
Evelyn had developed into the
highest type of perfect womanhood.
To the grace and loveliness of
girlhood were added a ready sympa
thy and charm of manner which
found its way to the hearts of both
young and old. A little haughty to
her equals, those beneath her in sta
tion found in her their kindest friend
and she was the first to withdraw
tiie cloud from the lives of those on
whom the shadow of sin or sorrow
had fallen hers the helping hand
ever stretched forth tc encourage.
And Sir Gilbert what of him ?"
He had gone abroad soon after
Evtlyn's marriage and -proved one
of the most careless of correspond
ents now hunting on the American
prairies ; now in the wilds of Aus
tralia; a roving life constituted his
chief pleasure and occupation. At
length, wearying of the excitement
of travel he turned his face home
ward. He yearned for the quiet of
an inglish borne, lor friendly faces
and familiar voices ; and, in con
nection with these longiogs.thoughts
of Evelyn and Norman Selby ever
came back upon him. A strange
presentiment of an early death, too,
threw its shade over bis heart Con
sumption had been tbe bane of his
family, and he felt now that he also
numbered os one of the victims.
So one evening as the setting sun
was gliding the handsome vicarage
with its floods of golden light, Sir
Gilbert stood before it, lost in admi
ration of the freshness, quiet and
beauty of that home a home in ev
ery way worthy of its mistress. Re
finement and cultivated love of the
beautiful were visible in the taste
ful landscape gardening all around.
ords of warm welcome followed
his meeting with the happy husband
and wife. Both insisted on his
making the vicarage his home, that
they might nurse him back to health
again. So tbe invalid remained
thf re to be tended by loving hands.
Evelyn's children had been taught
to love him, and they vied with
each other in their eagernesa toshow
their affection. But the old health
and the buoyant spirits had gone,
never to return. Gradually he grew
weaker, and one autumn morning,
while the song ot the reaper gather
ing in a plentiful harvest, fell npon
Sir Gilbert's ear. his end came, and
he passed gently away to that home
where good and noble hearts find
their true resting-place.
Tbe Cost or Her Beauty.
An old lady over eighty years of
age, and who was once a great beau
ty died recently in Paris, leaving af
ter ber a diary in which she endeav
ors to show the alleged vanity of
women, t torn the age of twenty to
thirty she spent three hours a day
at her toilet, which foots up for the
period one year ninety-one days
and six hours employed in dressing
her hair, powdering her cheeks ana
painting her lips. From thirty to
fifty the toilet labors amounted to
five hours a day, the extra hoars be
ing consecrated to covering np the
tracks of time, including the obliter
ation of crows' feet and other neces
sary filling in and grading. Time,
four years and forty days. After
fifty her efforts bad to be redoubled.

The Philadelphia finw has the
following to sav of what has become,
if not a national question, at least a
very important one:
"We are unodubtedly arriving at
that point in our national progress
when a sweeping reform is neces
sary in the matter of burying the
dead. The scandal that all men are
beginning to fear in connection with
the expeuses of the Grant funeral is
only a larger illustration of smaller
instances equal in demoralizing pow
er. It is no secret anywhere that
tbe pomp and ceremony attendact
upon the average burial costs twice
or thrice what they are worth, and
it is equally well known that fam
ilies wbo can but ill afford such dis
play from false motives yet endeav
or to imitate it All over the coun
try the same extravagances are ap
parentand it is probable a fortunate
thing for all people that the Grant
exercises made such extravangances
particularly conspicuous.
"There is no sense in covering the
bier of any man or woman with such
tributes of flowers as make us after
wards regard flowers with more sor
row than pleasure. The season of
death is not a joyous one and the
robing of the death as if for a feast
or bridal festival is the most sicken
ing evidence of a thoroughly deprav
ed taste or feeling. , And what could
be more inappropriate from any
standpoint than to close a life that
has run its simple and unselfish
course entirely away from the strife
of publicity with such a service and
procession as inevitably lead to an
entire forgetful! ness of the simple
virtues of the dead ? The lives of
men and women should point stron
ger morals than tbe mere burial of
their breathless bodies, and the mor
bid taste for display and newspaper
notoriety, if to be suppressed at the
brink of the grave. The increasing
cost of funerals and the consequent
financial worry that comes at a
time when men bear it least consti
tute another aspect of the case that
cannot longer be concealed.
IJy and by, perheps, it may oc
cur to the leaders who have set these
senseless styles, that death and bur
ial should be above fashion. A sim
ple, impressive service, without dis
play at the home, church or grave,
or undue lavishness in any way, can
but commend itself to all. Who can
doubt that all this world would be
more in harmony with the dread oc
casion it would commemorate. It
the Grant funeral shall emphasize
these facts and bring back the bur
ial custom to somewhat near what
it ought to be there will be count
less persons to profit in more ways
than one, from the change thus ef
fected."
An Old Doctor's More.
kI have.a little story to tell you,
boys," the old doctor said to the
young people the other evening.
"One day-a long, hot day it had
been, too I met my father on the
way to town.
"I wish you would take this pack
age to the village for me, Jim,' he
said, hesitating.
"Now, I want a boy of 12, not
fond of work, and was just out of
tbe hav field, where I had been at
work since daybreak. I was tired,
dusty and hungry. It was two miles
into town. I wanted to get my sup
per, and to wash and dress for sing
ing school.
"My first impulse was to refuse,
and to do it harshly, lor I wes vex
ed that he should ask after my long
day's work. If I did refuse, he
would go himself, He was a gentle,
patient old man. But something
stopped me; one of God 8 good an
t-els, I think. '
"'Of course, father, IU take it,' I
said, heartily giving my scythe to
one of the men. He gfve me the
package.
"ibank you, Jim,' 1 was going
mvself, but somehow I don't feel
very strong to-day."
"He walked with me to the road
that turned off to the town : as he
left put his hand on my arm, say
ing again : "Thank you, my son.
You have always been a good boy
to me, Jim."
"I hurried into town and back
again.
ben I came near the house T
saw a crowd of farm hands at the
door. One of them came to me, the
tears rolling down bis face.
w i our father, he said, fell dead
just as you reached the house. The
lapt words he spoke were to you,'
" Im an old man now.out I have
thanked God over and over again in
all the years that have passed since
that hour, that those last words
were : 'You've alwavs been a good
boy to me.' n
No human being ever yet was sor
ry for love and kindness shown to
others. But there is no pang or re
morse so keen as the bitterness with
which we remember neglect or cool
ness which we have shown to loved
ones who are dead.
Do not begrudge loving deeds and
kind words, especially to those who
gather with you about the same
hearth. In many families the hab
it of nagging, crossness or ill-natured
gibbing gradually covers the real
feeling of love that lies deep be
neath. And alter all it is such a little
way that we can go together.

Cooling the Cellar.
A great mistake is sometimes
made in ventilating cellars and
milk houses. Tbe object of ventila
tion is to keep the cellars cool and
dry, but this object often fails of be
ing accomplished by a common mis
take, and instead, the cellar is made
both warm and damp. A cool place
should never be ventilated unless
the air admitted is cooler than that
within, or at least as that or but
very little warmer. The warmer the
air, the more moisture it holds in
suspension. .Necessarily, the cooler
tbe air, the more this moisture is
condensed and precipitated. When
a cool cellar is aired on a warm day,
the air entering being in motion, ap
pears cool ; but as it fills the cellar,
the cooler air with which it becomes
mixed chills it, the moisture is con
densed, and dew is deposited on the
walls, and may often be seen run
ning down them in streams. Then
the cellar is damp and soon becomes
moldy. To avoid this the windows
should on.'y be opened at night the
last thing before retiring. There is
no need to fear that the night air is
unSealthful ; it is as pure as the air
of midday, and really drier. The
cool air enters the apartment and
circulates through it The windows
should be closed before sunrise ia
the morning and kept closed and
shaded during the day. If the air
of a cellar i3 damp it may be thor
oughly dried by plncing in it a peck
of lime in an open box. A peck of
lime absorbs about seven pounds or
three quarts of water, and in this
way a cellar may soon be dried even
in the hottest weather. A bushel of
lime absorbs twenty-seven pounds
of water and still appears as dry as
powder. In this condition it will be
very useful to spread over the gar
den or lawn cr about fruit trees, or
it may be used for whitewash. This
precaution is often necessary in the
dairy, because of the prevalence,
where air is damp, of mildews and
the various forms of moH.

Why that Boy got Ir.
One of the simplest and best illus
trations of faith which I remember
to have seen in h story told by M.
Theodore Monrod. A Sunday
school teacher, when ttacting his
class on one occassion, left his seat
and went around among his schol
ar' with his watch in his hand.
Holding it out to the first child, he
said:
"I give you that watch."
The boy stared at it and stood
eiilL He then went to the next and
repeated :
"I give you that watch."
The boy blushed.but that was all.
One by one the teacher repeated the
same words and action to each.
Some stared, some blushed, some
bmiled incredulously ,but none took
the watch. But when he came
nearly to the bottom of the class a
small boy put out is hand and took
the watch which the teacher han
ded to him. As the latter returned
to his seat, the little fellow said, tim
idly: "Then if you please sir.this watch
is mine?"
"Yes, it is yours."
The older boys were fairly roused
by this time.
"Do you mean to say, sir, that he
may keep the watch ?"
"Certainly, I gave it to any boy
who would have it"
"O, if I had known that," ex
claimed one of them, "I would haye
taken it"
"Did I not tell you I gave it to
you ?"
"Oh, yes ; but I did not believe
yon were in earnest"
"So much the wcrse for yon. He
believed me, and he has the watch."
Saving faith is as simple as this.
I just take God at his word, and
trust him. Though it sounds too
gooa to be true, Christ is the gift
of God, freely and fully offered.
The Wilrnot ProTlao.
The Wilmot Proviso, which was
destined to play an important part
in poiuic8, originated at the dinner
table of a political club in New Y'ork
which met weekly. It was compos
ed of Democrats opposed to the ex
tension of slavery, and among those
present on the day in question were
John Van Buren, Samuel J. Tilden,
John A. Kennedy, Isaac Fowler,
Andrew H. Greene, and other free
soil Democrats,
Mr. Howe, a western member of
Congress, was a guest, he having vis
ited New Y'ork to confer with the
Democratic opponents of slavery.
During the consultation John Van
Buren said that the protest against
the extension of slavery introduced
into Congress was not worded right
He sugeested that the exact words
of Jefferson in the ordinance of 'S3
and 7 should be used. This was
agreed to. Mr. Howe stated that it
would be difficult to introduce tbe
proviso, as the Speaker would not
eive the floor to any one friendly to
freedom. Mr. Tilden, as the chief
oreanizer of the movement to be
! made, proposed that a ruse should
be played, it was agreed that each
man composing the little body of
sixteen to eighteen freesoilers in
Congress should have a copy ot the
proviso in his pocket Each should
spring to the floor at the first
chance and shout " Mr. Speaker !"
It was thought that one of them
would be recognized. ,Mr. Tilden,
with other members of the club,
went to Washington to aid in car
rying out the plan.
At the time agreed upon tbe Spar
tan band, each rith tbe proviso in
his band, sprang to tbe floor and in
concert shouted, "Mr. Speaker!"
The Speaker was bewildered. He
could not ignore tbe whole crowd.
He selected Judge Wilmot as the
most moderate of the party, and so
the Wilmot proviso passed into his
tory. Ben Jferlry Poore.

Cnbaa Railways.
About tbe only instance ofcompe
tion which I have encountered in
Cuba, is that between the two lines
of railway extending from Havana
to MaUnzaSL In general, railway
fare ia pheuoraioally high. The tar
iff from Havan to Cienfuegos on
the southern coast is f IS in gol J,
and the railway company held a
meeting not long so to ascertain, it'
possible, why the receipts don't ex
ceed the expenses. But a first-class
fare by the longest of tbe two routes
to this city is only $1.10, and by the
shortest $1.50. Second and third
class tares are proportionately cheap
er. The long route has a train that
pushes right through in two hours
without stopping, save two or
three times at different railway
junctions.
Tourists ordinarily make the trip
out by one route, and back by the
other.
A railway train in Cuba is not
such a cariosity as cne in Irdia,
Burmah, or even Europe. The idl
ing stock was manufactured in New
England, and shipped here a few
centuries ago. It consequently has
a venerable, but withal familiar look
to any one whose experience runs
back to the primitive sort of coach
es and engines that characterized the
early hislory of railroading in our
country.
It is in the third-class coaches that
you get the best glimpse of real Cu
ban ine.

namen, and the poor Cubans and
the Spanisa soldiers all mingling on

and you wonder, as I haye done a
score of times. I have seen two
thirds of the wealthy Cuban passen
gers on a Bteamboat lake chickens
into their first-class cabins. W hen
tbe train stops at a station of some
importance, in rush men and boys
with various kinds of native fruits
for sale, country cheese, lightning
bugs, and above all, lottery tickets.
The lightning-bugs are principally
purchased by tourists as curiosities,
for the Cuban lightning-bug, if he
could be traioed to systematic illu
minating habits and brought into
the United States, would soon bank
rupt the various electric light com
panies.
When it is time for the train Ij
start a wrinkled, emaciated China

rear of the train, and is nearly emp

the forward end of each coach dis

be amiss if some of our railroads
thus announced to the eve as well as
to the ear the name of the next sta
tion, but I imagine some way would
be found iu our country of Laving

Terrible Tale.
Since the invasion of Northern
California by the grasshoppers there
has been made a marked revival in
the literature appertaining to the in
teresting insect.
"I remember in 71," eaid a mem-
iber of the Ga-ain Exchange yester
day. "I was coming across the
plains. Well, sir, I was seated in a
car leading a newspaper about ojon,
when suddenly it grew quite dark,
aud I thought sure a terrible storm
was on us. It was a cloud of grass
hoppers ; so thick that when they
settled on the car-track they stopped
the train. There was good feed
where we were just then, and it
brought the hoppers to a halt We
wre blocked for twenty-four hours,
until a snowplow was telegraphed
for, and when it cut the way for us
it left a bank of 'hoppers on each
side higher than the smoke-stack of
the locomotive."
"That was pretty had," said
another broker, "but I have seen
worse. We were camped one sum
mer in Kansa.a, making a survey for
a new town. The hoppers struck us
at night, and in the morning we
thought thtt the end of the world
had come. They were piled, sir,
twenty feet deep over our encamp
ment and we were nine hours tun
neling out of them. If we did not
happen to have a few giant powder
cartridges to blast out air holes we
should have been suffocated before
we could have struck a shovel into
the mass."
"Didn't you have any of 'em?"
inquired a warehouseman, who bad
seen a good deal of Western life.
"What do you mean ?" asked the
broker.
"Just this: I was caught in the
same fix yoa have told about, once
in Kansas. I was in charge of a
mule team hauling supplies to a
railroad camp. Among other things
we had several thousand yards of
canvass for tents fcr the men. As
soon as tbe grasshoppers struck us
I put my gang to work and in a short
time we bad a canvass sack made,
balloon fashion, only bigger than
any balloon yon ever saw. Well, sir,
we filled it chock full of hoppers
lire hoppers and hitched it on the
wagons, and when the swarm star
ted to go our caged hoppers went
with them."
"And took off your balloon ?"
"Mo, eirree ; they hauled our wa
gon tor over seventy-eight miles,
when they broke down and we bag
ged a new lot. It beat mule power
all hollow. Then it occurred to me
." But his andience had pone.
and the Western man, growing, "I
suppose the darn fools think I'm
green.' walked off to find a more
credulous and attentive auditory.
