Tlie husliand. the fatner, were gone, but also gone were the clear head, the strong helping hand; and Amy. Truiton first nu-d from the apathy of grief into w hich she had fallen to see the dread, gaunt shadow ot want stand threatening ly upon her threshold. Then it was that the squire, who had always longed for this snug little corner of land, so temptingly adjoining his own broad aiTes, came forward with his offer of ready money, and the me nT nominal security of a mortgage. It meant pres ent ease, and poor Mrs. Trnxton had never looked far ahead into an unknow n future, so slie thankfully accepted the aid. trusting the spring crops would en able her to meet at least the interest. But there canie both drought and frost, and each week was bringing nearer that dread time, an I there was no money laid away in the vilhtge bank to meet it. Then it was that Nora Truxton said, with a decision in her tone not to be gainsayed : I inn help you, mother. I will go up to tlie citv and work, and send you mon ey to jy the interest w hen it is due." She sjioke very strontdy, very bravely ; but at dusk, when the duties of the day were over, and she went to meet her lov er as he came home from his day's toil, she broke down at the sight of him, and laid her head ou his shoulder. " What is it. lassie he aiid tenderly. Then she told him all. " Never, with my consent, shall you do h," he answered, w hen she had finished. " The city is no place for an honest girt.

And he one look into her clear, honest eyes would shame this torturing doubt into oblivion! At last he stood liefore the door of the humble little brown house. If she sent moner home, at least her ow n war of living was plain enough. The good, motherly soul of whom she had written, ojiened the door in response to his knock ing. Miss Truxton not at home and would not be until late that night. Perhaps, if he called next morning, he might see her. 8 he would tell ner if he would leave his name: A sick dread took posseauon of him as he turned away. What was her work, that she could see him during the morn ing hours, but at night, when honest girls in their work of life were resting at home, she was where? Restless and uneasv, he walked through after street, until he found himself in front of a lighted building, with people passing in and out. He, too, would go in, to find distraction and relief. Paying the amount demanded for ad niittame, he soon found himself within the walls of a theatre. The curtain had fallen upon the first a-t, and was about to rise upon a ballet interlude, when the new and graceful danseuse, "Mile Teresa,' w hose success had been so instantaneous and remarkable, was to appear. Could it be piwsible Nora ever visited such places as these? He looked about him. Everyw here he saw young and beau.;ful y dressed women, looking with eager eyes toward the stage. At last the curtain rose. The scene was from fairyland. Never had he seen anything sr. bew iMeringly lovely. Myr iads of colored lights shed their radiance upon countle Sowers, when a huge rose, slowly unfolding its petals, gave birth to the queen of the fairies, who, in a burs, of music, tdounded upon the stage. Had hejpme mad? He rubbed j his eyes, and looked and looked ajain for in spile of the sheeny gauze envelop imi her. in spile of the exquisitely tiny r,.r.! r..t in T.it ..f tl. thLt i glistened at her thrnat, it was Nora, his ! promised wife, on whom he looked !

His eyes, were so deep and dark, and his voice so pleutiug, that I would have purchased the biok if I had to borrow the money. The book is a very osefulone, ami it is bound in the same color as my new dog. It tells how to make custards, blanc manges and floating island. It also tells you, in the back pan, how to cure heaves, glanders and bona. I can hardlv wait till George gete the boUs, so tliat I can bring out my little red volume and win him back to life and joy. It also gives other information.

Why will people fritter away their money on doctors and lawyers when they can get one of these books so cheap? Yesterday our landlady gave me a slip of oleander, and I have planted it in a cute little pitcher in the window, where it is slowly growing as I write.

Numerous Combinations in Which Seven Plays an 1m- portant Part. j The ftvqtent recurrenoe of the number ; seven in the scriptures, says the Cinx-in-i nati Eitjntrrr, seems to indicate that there i are associated with it certain j-vents, that J it may be termed tlie prophetic, reprewn- tative symbolic number consTat.- in the holy scriptures and the relipon of the Jews anil other nations, by many myste rious events and circumstances. The old testament informs us that Gd ompl vted the work of creation in seven days, and set aart the seventh day to be a day of rest for all mankind. The slayer of Abel was to be punished seven folJ and the slayer of Launch sev- entv and ven fold. 1 - everr clean beast Noah took into the ! rk bv wveM, and t..k wnh him ven j souls when he ented the ark. After j seven davs the av iw were upon the face i of the earth. Toe interval, between I sendine out the dt.ve the second and I thin! tin.-, wen thin! times were seven days, and in the seventh month the ark rested on the mountain of Ararat. In Pharaoh's two dreams he saw seven well-favored and fat kine and seven ill favored and lean kine, id seven ears of corn on one stalk, rank and good, and seven ears blasted with the east wind, which was followed by seven years of great p.enty and seven years of famine. The children of Israel were command ed to eat unleavened bread seven day 4, and to observe the feast of unleavened bread ; seven davs shall there be no leav en found in your houses. Tlie seventh month was signaliied by the feast of trumpets, and the celebration of the feast of tabernacles. .Seven weeks was the interval between the (Mssover and the pentecost. The seventh year was observed as the sabbatiiical year, and the year succeeding seven times seven years as the year of ju bilee. Seven days were appointed as the length of the feast of the tabernacles and pass over. Seven lays for the ceremonies of the con.-cration of the priests. Seven victims were to be offered on any special occasion. When Abraham and Abimelech want ed to confirm an oath they took seven ewe lambs of the flock. Jacob served Lalian seven years for each of his daughters. Ivlilay bound Samson with seven green withes, and wove the seven locks of his hair in the web. Seven priests, bearing seven trurnjiets, passed round the walls of Jerico seven days, on the seventh day passing round seven times and it feiL Nebuchadnezzar had the furnace heat ed seven times hotter than it was wont to f Tar ttn Ttebrc w children, and was driven from among them to tlie beasts of the field until seven times passed over him. Elisba commanded Naaman to wash in Jordan seven times and be cured of his lepne-y. The sluggard is wiser in his own con ceit than seven men who can render a reason. In the new testament the Savior com manded to forgive an erring brother, not until seven times, but seventy times sev en if he repented. In revelations of St. John' we read of seven churches, seven spirits, seven stars, seven seals, seven lamps, seven golden candlesticks, seven ansels. seven vials, and seven last plagues. A notion once prevailed in England with some -ople that the seventh consec utive son born had pow er to cure certain diseases. Our great fight with the mother coun try for lilierty and imle prudence lasted seven years. The president of the United States, Gmver Cleveland, was seven times seven years of age when he married his bride.

Lord Randolph Churchill, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and leader of the Gov ernment party in England, has been in vest luting the question of British Free Trade, and in a recent s-ech thus set I himself aain srarh a homiciilal policy : i "You find C -reign iron, foreign wool. foreign silk and cotton pouring iuto this country, " flooding you. drowning yiu, sinking you, swamping you, and I sus pect free import to be the murderer of our industries much in the Mine way as if I saw a man standing over a corpse and plunging a knife into it, I should sus-ct that man of homicide. Silk, iron, leather and wool are all coming into the country duty free, hopelessly undersell ing your products, aud driving your in dustrial populotion to America, to the colonics, to the workhott-e, or to the prison." This is strong lanuaire to come from a leader in Free Trade EngiamL and yet he speaks what everyone knows who is posted on the subject. England has been ruined by Free Tnole. and her people are beginning to recognize it. There are but two ways for her to effwt a remedy : Oue is by helping Democrats in this country to establish Free Trade in American, and the other is to adopt Protection for her self Recently England lias been trying the former, but it cannot I done, and now the advocates of Protection in Eng land are Wing appointed to high orhces. Here is souiething for the workingnien to consider. If Free Trade a ffecta Eng land as Lord Chun hid has said, how w ill it effect Amerii-a ? The workingmen should n vote for a party which de manila Free Trade, for such parties are the workimrmen's greatest enemies. And yet Chauncey F. Black, the Ieuiocratic Free Trade can.li.late for Governor, is still earnestly advocating the Briush Free Trade spstem, and expects to lie elected opin that basis. Wouldn't Walk Half Way. As the Lake Shore passenger train No. was pulling out of the Union I"epot the other morning, an old farmer rushed out of the restaurant and flew like a streak until be caught tlie hand rail of the rear platform," relates the Toledo Hlf U. I " He climbed on and entered the sleep ing coach, but he was told to go forward.

The Champion Grand Army Liar. " I suppiev you were in the war, com rade?" said a prominent Market Street dry goods clerk as be it down arnin at a " pt " linquet after telling a few foz en of select war incidents with great applause.

This being the season for making sauer kraut, and eablwge being pjentiful and cheap, there will doubtless be plenty made, esi-cially by our German friend. Sue years ago sauer kraut wa generally regarled as a most indigestible and un wholesome article of diet, aud many fellows could as readily have been pre vailed upon to eat oyster shell as that unsavory preparation of cabldge. But time and experiemv demonstrated that these were mistaken impression. Well cure-L well cooked sauerkraut is wholes. me. nutritious and digestible, and insti-ad of lieing taliooed. as formerly, it has become quite a favorite dish apon our mot fashionable tabic. As a lunch at hotels, etc, it holds the first rank. The only oljection to it is. that in cooking it fills the house with a mt noisome smell. A fortune awaits the man who invents a a kitchen utensil in which saner kraut may lie prepared for the table without this objection. Ises anybody .toubt General Beaver's ability to fill the Gubernatorial chair? Doe anybody doubt his integrity? Ioes anybody d mbt his devotion to Republi can principles? Ianybody doubt that he will perform his executive duties with fidelity? If not, how can any Republican refuse to give him his vote in November. The IVmocraU assert that "this soldier business is played out" It does not look that way when you look over tlie list of rebel soldiers appointed by the present administration. But then, t iey fought on the DensKTalic side and hence their re war-1 by their party. Tbey cannot draw pensions but they can fill offices. Give General Beaver the same hearty support in peace that be gave you in war. lei AVIIOLE NO. 1840. What Became of the Pear.
