Si the beautiful dream ofa year that had tilled a young life with the golden glory of a June sunrise was quenched in the blackness of a starlesi night. And while she sat in the shadows struggling w ith her stricken young heart that knew not how to entertain the stran ger, pain, striving vainly to pierce the impenetrable gloom that diroudivl her, AX) miles away Howard Snow basked iu the sunlight of another woman's smile. I Ie was not a cruel or a heartless man. liut his lietter impulse, his symiiathics, his regard for the feoingsof others, were all lost in an infatuation for oneof ('tree's descendants. Howard Snow was only LI, and Helen Thomas- was One of those women who riHn like a peach in the sun, and to w hom mature years add only richer charms. It was the old story of a young man's infatuation for a woman older than him self. It Winded his judgement and blun teb his sense of right ami wrong, and made him conscious of but one desire in life, to lie free. His lamds to Barbara Walker grew hateful, ami she seemed to him a child, whose weakness would 1 a drag ujsm him always. Si he treed himself, and for a month was happy with a drunkard's happiness. Then his licttor nature awoke with a sud den shock. lie spoke of marriage to Helen Thomas, and she laughed iu his face. " Marriage ! "' she said ; " why you are only a" boy! How can you think of so absurd a thing?" And her laughter had the ring of scorn in it. Then he went away. lie thought of I'.arhara Walker with a tenderness, but w ith no idea of consult ing her with any attempt at a renewal of oi l ties. He felt no love for her, iu truth ; I only he felt his baseness and lack of sta i bili'ty. i He applied himself to his profession, ; and made a success of it. lie grew rich, j prosjieroHs, popular with men, but fear ed by women, for Ins sareus was unspair- iugand his wit always two-edged. Yet marriageable women, sought alter him, for he had jK-rsoiial attractions added to his wealth and influence, and seemed a desirable husband for an ambitious wo man. Hut he reached the age of 31! and was still free. And then he met Barbara Walker again. Through all these years he had lost trace of her and known nothing of her. Now they met suddenly, and to him, at least, unexpectedly, at formal dinner party, given by a prominent wj!ilician. Howard Snow was presented to Miss Walker bv the hostess and refjuested to leud her in to dinner. It was Barliara Walker! There was no mistaking the face ami form he so well rcmcmliered, ami yet what a change ! The nine years had but tx-rfected the girlish graces that were pleasing of old and lent the charm of dignity and elegance to what was one only sweetness and simplicity, The shy, modest manner had given platx to lerfevt self-possession and jare conversational ja;.vern rendered her the star of the evening. Howard Snow scarcely left her side all the evening. Site charmed him with her descriptions if scenery and chit-chat of foreign life. " I would !e triad to call," he said as they parted. "Where can I fiud you?" " In the house where we first W't," she said, glancing up at him with the old shy liaik. " I am visiting the saiue friends." He could uot have described his sensa tions as he rang the lell the next day and w as urshed into the present of that queenly woman who was once his be trothed wife.' Admiration, reverence, re spect and, it seemed to him, love, stirred together in his heart. It was only one of many cjills. She was so kind, so cordial, no entertaining. Her soul was too large to treasure any resent ment against him for that old wrong. Then bv anil by he grew to realise how " . h ,, he was loving that woman. Not the old love awakened, but new love createtl- Somerset SOMERSET, the one grand passion of his life. Still he hesitated, not daring to speak. But so strong grew the emotion it overpowered him at length. "God knows I feel mr unworthiness," he said, " but 1 love you, Barbara, and want you for inv-wife. I said thesesame words to you 10 years ago and iailed you. I was only a weak boy then, swayed aticut by a designing woman. Now I am man, knowing my own heart, and with all its intense jient-up passion it crie out for you." For a moment Barbara's face seemed glorified with light Her cheeks glowed, her eyes enlarged, her breat heaved. She put both her hands in his. " I have never lieen content without you not for one moment," she said " Nothing filled my life so full that I did not fee! the need of you, Howard." Their marriage was set for three months later. And they were to be married in the village church by the old family rec tor. The little church was crowded when the night came. All in a sheen of white I tai bar a stood la-fore the altar and felt her hand bv the man who had discarded her nine years before. ''Wilt thou, Barbara, take this man to Ik tli v wedded husband, for better for worse, in sickness and in health, through good report and evil report, till death do part?" The old rector waited for the response. It aupe like the report ofa pistol. "Never! As he once rejected me, so now do I reject him." And she swept down the aisle, whiter than her rolies, and left a palsied crowd of people staring blankly after her. Yery calmly and very coldly Howard Snow passed down and out of the church. Before midnight he was raving in delirium. The next morning they found him in a high fever, calling wildly on the name of Barbara, and cursing some woman he called Helen, who seemed pursuing him. " He cannot live," the doctor said, the next evening. " Will some one go and ask the woman who has done this cruel deed to come here for a moment ? The sight of her may quiet him, jierhaps." But while he spoke she came in, her bridal white exchanged for funeral black, her long hair falling bsse about her. She glided to the Iiedside and put her hands on his face. "Howard," she called, in a trembling voice; oh, my love, Howard, forgive me ere you die.' But he fancied she was the woman Helen, and shrieked and cursed her, and grew so violent that they sent her from the" room. There w as a week of wild delirium, and then a week of stupor and then "He is (Jead ! they said, and the word was car ried to her. Like a pale wraith of her firmer self, she came slowly in and knelt lieside him. She put her wasted Wieek lieside him on the pillow, and the tears thatihad refused to rise fell slow ly down, asshe said : " Oh, I thought revenge was sweet, but it is bitter, bitter, my love." How long she knelt there she did not know, but suddenly she was startled by a sigh, a very ghost of a sigh, is seemed to her. Sue put her hand over the heart she had believed stilled forever. It flut tered feebly. "Oh, thank (.tod! "she cried, and fell unconscious. An hour later she found herself in lied and kindly cared for and 'smiling faces all alsiut her. " lie lives!" they said. "Your touch brought him back from the very shores of death." A few weeks later a pallid bride and a still more pallid groom passed dow u the old church aisle and out into the great world. .Somewhere they dwell to-day happy, let us hojie, since they have la th so suf fered in the past. She Knew Her Man. "Henry!" shouted a Huluth avenue woman to her husbund as he started down town, "aren't you going to get ine that water before you go?" " Not this morning in an awful hurry big day's work to do," and he tore along dow n to the gate. " liut I want you to fix the cellar door, so the children won't fall down and break their necks." " Oh, watch 'em, watch 'em. I haven't time ; must lie down to the otiice in five minutes." "I)id you see the scandal in this morn ing's paja-r T' " Hey?" he replied, as he paused at the corner. "About Col. Bilk and some woman from Sioux City." " Is that so? Well, I must r.;ad it," and he came back, taking long stejs. " I've rather lieen expecting something of the kind for quite a while." An Unprofitable Train Robbery A band of roblcrs, it is said, tried to rob a train bound north, from Florida three years ago; but though they met with some resistence that was about all they did meet with. One robla-r got a jtickage of flea aw d r, a set of false teeth ami a chestnut helL Another secured a white vest, a buffa lo overcoat and a small wet alligator. He did not know he had secured the alli gator until two hours later when a look of jmin spread over his face, and one of his companions removed him from the small alligator which, it seems, had be come much attached to the robber by means of the brow of his pants. (The man's pants, I mean) Auothergot a diary for '73, an audo jihone and a truss. Still another got a cigar, a spectacle case and a case of small pox. In my opinion a man is a fool who will sit up nights and lose his rest in order to rob trains when lie can go to Congress and get his little work iu on the surplus.

In 1S3 a young niaideri, a resident of Stone county, south west Missouri, mar ried a young man, to whHn she had long been engaged. Their unitiu was a hai py one, and as both had tieen reared in the vicinity and were beloved and re spected by all, they received the kindest beuisons of all who knew them. But the war was raging around them, and their locality was alternately occu pied by each of the contending armies. A draft was about to be made, and the yoiyig husband, a month after his mar riage, concluded to take advantage of the Government's liberal olFera and enlist rather than run the risk of being forced into the ranks without any emolument save the meagre pay ofa private. Si he voluntarily enlisted and became a private in the L'nion army. His courage and intelligence soon gain ed the respect of his oflicers and fellow nien, and in several hard fought battles he distinguished himself to six-ban ex tent that his name was forwarded to the department headquarters in St. Ixuis,aud in a short time returned in a second lieu tenant's commission. The regiment was stationed in northern Arkansas and at this opportune moment, when he was so near to all he held dear (for a son was born to him in his absence), he could not resist the temptation to obtain tt short leave of absence to visit his wife and child. ' The boon wxseas.ly obtained, and with his com mission in his iockct, he mount ed his horse and started for home. At length the we!l-reriiemlared land-marks came to view. 1 He was close to home.' A few hundred yards of the leafy forest tnd he could we the smoke from the cot that contained his treasures. I low he would surprise them ! How his wife would cry for joy ! How his bright-eyed balaj would "Halt!" came a fierce order in stento rian tones, from the bush tluit surround ed the road. Kre he could rein in his horse in obedience to the dread summons he was, as if by magic, surrounded by twenty or thirty fierce and heavily armed men, whom his practiced eye told him were the most unrelenting fia-s that the uniform he wore ever had. His heart sank within him, brave as he w as, for he knew there was no mercy in the heart of - a bushwhacker, for such they were. A few questions were put to him by the j leader of the hand, but they were more for form's sake than anything else. His uniform was a mute answer for all they wished to know, while from his pockets, which were rapidly turned inside out. was the commission draw n forth w hieh made them more eager for his bhaxl. The leader of the band was a man near his own age,and to hitu he uppcnled and demanded that he be trt'atc3 iiS s"prisoii er of war. His request was treated w ilh lerision, and a moment more his legs were pinioned, and an ominous rope w ith a noose at its end dangled from the limb of an adjai-ent tree. Again he appealed to his inhuman captors, and implored them to let him set! bis wife and child but for a moment la-fore he died. But ven as he supplicated the leader put the fatal loop around his neck, gave a signal with his hand, and the unfortunate man was swung ofrinto eternity with a prayer for the widowed wife and orphan child upon his lips. The next day the corpse was discover I swaying in the w ind by a Kissing sol dier who, stopping at the next house. (which hapianed to be the home of the oilieer,) told the woman Unit there was a man hanging dead a short distance down the road, and it was better, jierhaps, he ihould receive a Christian burial. This was not unfrequent news in that locality, and nearly all the men lading in the army the sad work of interring the dead anrl caring for the wounded dejanded n'n the lone women. And faithfully was it lone, ttai, for they knew not but their own ones were lieing cared for in similar manner far otf in some distant State. Si the woman procured help of others ofher sex who lived in the neigh la rhood and together they pna-eededon their sad mission. As they approached the corpse a strange forboding passed through the mind of the woman w ho led them, for there was something familiar in the stu tiended form, even in the midst of its un natural surroundings. The blood rushed back to her heart as she neared it. Sud denly the breeze swayed it around, and oh, horror! in its distorted features she beheld the lineaments of the father of her child, and she swooned away in a dead taint at the feet of him w ho in life was her all. Ten years had jiassed. And though time had heated the wounds in her heart t he love of hi n who had been the hus band of her youth was still faithful. Her child hud become a youth and needed the stern, restraining hand and exjafri euced counsel of a father. . She, too, a weak, lone woman, was tired of fighting the liattle of life and yielded to the sup plications of a man who bore a good character. They were married and their lives blended in a happy, even tenor of connubial existence. He treated her kindly and affectionately, was a father to her son, and an honest, industrious bread w inner for them all. She loved and re spected him, aud her future seemed full recomjH'Ust for the weary past. One day not long since and it was an evil day an old acquaintance visited hiiu. They had in the years agone been w arm fricuds, for they had fought togeth er under the banners of the sunny Siuth and oft had shared the same blanket as partisans yes, guerrillas, bushwhackers, if you like. Right glad they were to meet, and the husband received him cordially for old times' sake, and the wife made him wel come for the sake of her husband. One night, as they sat around the ruddy hearth after the evening meal, the two men talked of the stirring scenes through which they hail passed,' and, as old soldiers will, "fought the battles over again." While engaged in dwelling on reminis cences of the w ar, the husband remarked that he never knew how strong were the feelings of affection a man felt for his fam ily until he himself hud married, and, placing his heavy hand on his compun ion's knee, he said mournfully and earn estly : "John, I have always been sorry that ldid not let that poor Yankee lieutenant see his wife and child before we strung him up ten years ago. His wife heard the remark and slowly rose to her feet, with her face as white and rigid as marble, and her distended eyes were fixed on her husband's face with an expression of intense horror. Twice she essayed to speak, but failed. Then with a loud, unearthly, heart broken scream, she fell like a corpse to the floor. When she recovered her conscioiisness she had little to say. The light of her life had gone ont forever. She loved her husband, for he had laen good an 1 true and kind to her. Perhaps he was not so much to blame for killing her first love. It was the fortune of war, she supposed. But but she could live with him no longer. Oh, no! There came a picture from the halls of memory that bade her go. Anil taking her boy, she went. Her sad story told before the court in a suit for divorce freed her forever from the ties which bound her to one whose very presence conjured up the frightful vision which the guerrilla chieftain had prepar ed for her eyes ten years t-fore. Two Good Dog Stories. The other day our Newfoundland dog was playing on the porch with our little girl, four years old, when she opened the gate and went out. The dog did not fol low her. Some time aiterw ard the child's mother came out, discovered her alisence and said to the dog : "Where is Nellie?" The dog liaiked as if he knew,an I wag ged bis tail furiously. "Go this instant," said the mother, " and find Nellie and bring her home." Out over the gate flew the dog anil started down the street to a neighbor's louse not far olL Nellie was playing there, inside the house, and saw the dog come and scratch at a veranda win- loiV. "I know what he wants," saidthelittle girl : "he wants me togo home, but I'm not going to do it !" The dog was not admitted, hut he lin gered near, like Mary's Utile lamb, and when two ladies called presently he brushed in past them through the door. Then, rushing up-to Nellie, he seized her dress wiih his teeth, and began dragging her Ui the door. An attempt was made to drive him oil", but he grow led and held his place. The little girl, beginning to la frightened, gave up nil resistance, and trotted home by his side, and he deliver ed! her with an air of triumph into her mother's hands. What "instinct" would lead a dog to do that? A suburban resident was walking at night, not long ago, across a meadow, and losing the path in the darkness, fell info a ditch. His dog, a collie, had been running about, in an aimless Auy overihe field, t lathering himself -up the gentle man called the dog, and crouching over him said, sharply : " Now, see here, Mac ; I want you to show me the path across this meadow. Go right ahead of me, do you hear, and show me the path show uie the path!" The dog olieyed to the letter. With hi nose to the ground he followed the path faithfully, with his master at his Leels, clear across the meadow, until he had ap proached to w;ithin two or three rials of the field. Then he began to waver from side to side as if looking vainly for the jath, and showed great confusion, and e'en shame. Next day the gentleman went over the ground by daylight, and discovered that at the point where the dog begun to waver the path was entirely lost in the thick grass. Temptation's of a Broker's Life. From the start, the boy entering a bro ker's ollice will lie intrusted w ith large sums of money to carrv to the hank or to' customers. He may Ik in an otliee where bank bills and shining gold are within his reach all the time ; and be will la so completely ubsorlicd in the subject of stocks, lamds, and nionev, that it w ill be somewhat strange if he does not wajn begin to look at the getting of money as the most im porfant business of life. And w hen heiu a little, older and becomes clerk or cash ier, he will le exposiil to the temptation to increase his income by slock -gambling "speculating," as it is called on his own account. Such ventures tire of course very hazardous, and on all accounts should lie shunned. A broker requires great strength of character to resist the temptation to get wealthy by false meth ods ; and a tmv should think long and well la-fore he adopts the calling. For the broker's business is at best un stable. The w ork is done quickly in the midst of great excitement and at "high pressure, as we sav. As uionev comes quickly anil easily to the broker, it is not so iiighly prized as if it were earned by the toil which produces a visible result, and it usually goes as easily as it comes Brokers, of course, defend their own oc cupation. Thev will tell vou that their services as agents in securing stocks and bonds are needed ; but they will not deny that stock-brokerage would cease to lie a profitable businesss, except to a very few linns, if peoph were to stop stafulating in securities. Of course there are many men in this Lusiness who have risen to wealth and to eminence as finan ciers, who would scorn to do a mean or dishonorable act. All honor to such men, because they must often have been sorely tempted to do wrong. I would not te unjust to this largeclass of men, so many of whom have personal traits which ,ve are IhjihkI to admire. They are open-handed with their means. Their word to one another is as good as a bond. In fact, a large protatrtion of the business transacted upon the exchange is done without written contract, and del-ends solely ujain the good faith of the uiemln-ra concerned. Their promptness to respond on public appeals for aid or sympathy is proverbial. Yet all this should have no influence upon a boy who is deciding whether or no he shall lie a broker. -St. A'.'cW-t fur June. That's the Way She Put It.

I told him that we were out of butter, coffee and po- tatoes, and he said he would stop and order them. Once on the car he forgot all about it, and at half-past eleven, meet ing an old school mate, he insisted : " Now you come right up to dinner with me. I want you to see xny house and my family, and have a visit." " But your wife won't be expecting company." "Oh, you come right along.

" Well, where are the groceries you went to order?" "Groceries? I I forgot !" "Jane can't use but one hand, while I should faint away if I tried to dress. You'll have to take him to a hotel." " Never ! When I invite a man to par take of my hospitality I'll never skull him off to a hotel! It is a pretty state of affairs that my house is all upset in this manner, at this time ! Mrs. Bowser, you aud 1 must have a reckoning! I'll be hangexl if I put up with such conduct as this!"

"Ami the nicest little w ifeand the pret tiest baby in the world!" exclaimed Mr. Bowser, as he slapjied his leg. And the other evening, as we sat by ourselves, he suddenly inquired : , " Was there a man here to-day to see alsiut selling me .some fruit trees?" . " Why, no. What on earth do you want with fruit trees?" " What does any one want with fruit tnes? I suppose your advice would be to surround our premises with a line of hasswoods." " But w here can we put 'em?" " We? I shall set them out cm this lot, of course. I might just as well be raising $.VX) worth "I choice fruits each season as to raise nothing but grass and wt-eds."

Just then the door-bell rang, and he went through to the diair. Some friends had come to s'end the evening, and Mr. Bowser gneied them with : " Hip, hurrah ! Well, this is a genuine godsend, and no mistake ! Bussie (that's me) and I were just w ishing somebody would drop in." I entered the parlor after two or three minute, and had scarcely welcomed the visitors, when Bowser patted me affec tionately on the shoulder, and said : Now, cherub (that's me I run and bring our little darling (that's our wall-eyed) and show him otf.

Lovely Miss Luanda Tyler went to Farmer Hayseed's for the summer. The object of her visit was to secure rest and quiet. She decided to abstain from .'11 social excitt'mem, nd at first she sue- ; cceded. i olutions After awhile, however, her res gradual !y gave way, and shx found herself indulging in a pleasant ! little flirtation with Farmer Hayseed's son '( John.

"I hojaj youuiti't mad aiaiut it." "No; I don't know" and as she fal tered his arm encircled her waist.. Then was silence for a minute or two, and then pity got the belter part of the dear girl's feelings, and she said softly : "John, I should think that you would get tired of tie; monotony of your life hen-." "Yes; it is kind o' tiresome some times." "Tell me what you do." " You wou't get mad about it?" "Certainly not." " Well, you know, we run this farm in summer so's to make enough to keep the family the rest of the year.

" What a pretty hat yon have. Let me hold for it you, and, dear John, how fine and soft your hair is." And she ran her fingers gently through his chestnut locks. Presently she put both hands up there, an I, after getting a hold, she pulled with all the gathered strength ofa six weeks vacation. John tried to yell, but he couldn't his breath forsook him. He tried to speak but it was no go. The big tears that rolled down over his cheeks wen the only Manifestation of his misery but they were enough to touch a heart of stone. In about a minute to John it seemed a century the lovely Miss Tyler released her hold and gather ed several dozen strands of chestnut hair into a small knot. "No, dear John," she said, in her sweetest way, "I ain't mad. I only wan ted a lock of your lovely hair for a sum mer souvenir. And now, dear John, sup jKwe we return."

Sheridan h id left Washington on the morning of Oc?oler lSi,lS4, by train, and pas-ed the night at Winchester, twenty miles north of the bal;Ie-field. On the morning of the LHh, he heard the firing of cannon, and sent out to inquire the cause, but was told it came from a recon noissance. At nineo'cl a k he rode leis urely out of Winchester, not dreaming that his army was in danger. After a lit tle, he heard again the sound of heavy guns, and now he new what it must mean. Not half a mile from Winchester he came upon the appalling marks of defeat and rout. The runaways from the battle, still in flight, had got so far as this in their terror. The trains of wagons were rush ing by, horses and drivers all in confu sion, for there is no worse turmoil in this world than the flight and wreck of beaten army. Sheridan had never seen his own men in this condition liefore. He at once ordered the trains to be halted, and sent for a brigade of troops from Winchester ; these he posted across the road to prevent further straggling. Then he called for an escort of twenty men, and, directing his stair to stem the ! torrent as well as they could, he set otf ! himself for the battle-field. He rode straight into the throng of fugitives, in a splendid passion of wrath and determin ation, spurring his horse and swinging his hat as lie passed, and calling to the men : 44 Face the other way, boys!

At Selan Emperor William sat on a hill overlooking the battlefield with the American General Sheridan aud For syth, when the news of the capitulation came, and the French bearer of the flag of trace waa seen riding back. At dawn the next morning Bismarck, who bad been drinking champaigne and eating sandwiches with officers and myself nutil 1, and arguing terms of surrender the rest of the night, was mounted on his bay, fresh and clean shaven, riding to ward -Sedan, while we followed. A shab by, low carriage, from which came the gleam of gold lace, approached. Bismarck sprang from his horse, letting it go, and bowed low. The leaden-colored, gaunt eyed, deep-lined man with disheveled moustache, in the carriage, was Napoleon III. Alighting at a weaver's cottage, Na poleon and Bisrnank sat down and talk ed in an undertone, while we stood at the garden hedge, the weaver calmly looked on from his window, anil eager troops and provision carts streamed by. Tiien Bismarck rode back to the Emper or, aud Nopoleon waited alone, waUing back and forth, limping slightly, and smoking countless cigarettes. The proud est monarch in Europe was cooling his heeU at a weaver's cottage, waiting at tendance on a Prussian. Sain a trrajp of cuirassiers formed around the cottage, Bismarck returned, and N'ajaileon was escorted to a ruined house ii Sedan. Yon Moitke had dispelled the obstinacy of the French commander by show ing him the German cannon, and the capitulation had been signed. The German nionan h came riding down with head proudly erect to meet the bent and broken Napo leon, who came forward with handker chief at his eye, while William's face worked strancr-ly. In the shattered house an interview of twenty minutes was held, tlrvn William rode among his troops, and Napoleon spent the night in the bed roin occupied by William the night be fore.

What a grand thing it must be to have a good, thorough education, and know all about astronomy and natural historr and phlebotomy and all those things. A painful sense of my own general ignor ance always makes me feel very ill at ease in presence of learned people. Not a great while ago, two months, perhaps, I was writing, and happening to glance out of nir w in. low, saw a hawk make a swiaip and catch a poor little English sparrow. The robber, with great insolence, flew into a pine tree close to my w indow and began his breakfast. I called the Prince, and we watched the hawk devour the little bird. He held the sparrow on the limb of the tree with his talons, and tore off bite after bite with his great beak. He did not pluck a feather before eating. Now and then, when a feather would come away with a shred of meat, the hawk shook it from his beak, but went right on with his meal. He didn't swal low any feathers, but beyond that he paid not the slightest attention to them, simply shaking them otf his beak when they got in his way. Half an hour later I read in a most excellent papei the statement by a learned ornithologist and an old hunter that 44 the hawk ntctr be gins devouring a bird until he has first can-fully plucked rm-y feather out of it." Now if I hadn't read that, you see how ignorant 1 would have been of a simple fact ia natural history ! I It iieve that villain of a hawk acted as he did on pur lse to mislead me. But, thanks to the learned man, he failed. Am I going to take the word of a miserable, ignorant hawk against that of a great ornitholo gist? Not I. I may not know much, but I trow that I wot a learned ornitholo gist kens mor about hawks than any hawk that ever bolted a feather. iJ-ir-dttit, in Brotjk'yn FagU. The Watch Stops.

"Is it dangerous business to work about a dynamo?" " No ; we haven't had a serious accident here since the station was established.
