THE BiDUTUH'S AND HI M0K0I S EFFECTS OF FALSE KKPOBTH A SToRY EVEK LOMEs A.VYTUIJiO. BY . A. WEIMf. "Well, I do declare, Mrs. Stebbins! S you tune Ist-n Dp to Bamvilie, ami never let a soul of u know alxmt it!" "Oh." Siii.l Mrs. Stebliins, a.shealiht ed frcim the w pm at her own tloor, and shook hands with MLaXayhr, who hap-j-ne-d to Is3 passing, "ynn see I only went for a day and a night, and didn't think it worth while to advertise it on the church dixirs. I wanted to buy some dry gessis and kitchen things, and they are cheaper in Barnvilk- than in a little place like this. And besiden there' my niece, Maria, whom I hadn't seen since her last baby was born, and she and the baby both in poor health. So I thought I might as well go up, and kill two birds with one atone," "To be sure! And how did you find Maria and the baby? And how are all the other folks in BarnvilleT " Well, I was glad to find them two looking pretty spry and smart ; and as for the rest, I didn't hear of anylxsly be ing sick or iu trouble, unless 'twas old Cole." "Ah! So old Mrs. Cole is sick! And what is it ails her this time?" remarked Mint Xaylor, with a lock of aroused interest.- " Why, nothing nitu-h, I reckon. I did hear Maria holler to little Betty Cole and ask her how her grun'iim was to-day ; and she said 'IsMit the siMne as yesterday. Maria akel il the fever had gone down ; but jest then Jeeuis came in to dinner, so I didn't hear the rest, and forgot to a- k Maria about Mrs. Cole." " Well, well ! I'm sorry to hear she's sick, poor soul ! for she's a good woman, and we can't easy afford to sjiaresuch. But she's well on in years, and I've been rather expecting to hear of her being took down, considerin' she's, over sixty. But, law uie! I mustn't keep you stand in' here in the street and you just come home. Ciod-hy ; and depend upon me for coming 'round to see what pretty things you've Ismght." With this Miss Xaylor turned away, and w ith her basket on her arm jiruceed ed to the store for a supply of grocer ies. There she found Mrs. Brown, thehouse carpentcr's wife, engaged in cheapening calico. " You ain't as smart as Mrs. Stebbins," she said, as the two women examined the quality of the calico. "She's been up to Farnville and laid in a lot of dry goods and thiugs, for the sake of saving 'Isint twenty-tive cenLs or so. For my part, I go in for encouraging our home trtle." " Well, I don't know," Mrs. Brown re plied, doubtfully. "Seems to me every body's bound to look out for their own interest, and I confess I'd go a little out of the way to save twenty-tive cents. Bui what did Sally Stebbinssuy was the new s in BarnvilleT" y Nothing, except that old Mrs, Cole's down w ith fever. Mrs. Stebbins said she was no better when she left. She's over sixty, and I wouldn't be surprised to hear of her death any minute." I wonder if John Cole's wife knows it? She ought to lie told, for her husband's mother was second cousin to old Mrs. Cole, and they've got the same family name, and have always been friendly. If she dies they'll go to the funeral, of course, as they did when the old man died four or five years ago." Then Miss Xaylor turned to the grocer ies, and Mrs, Brown, having coneluiled her bargain oy persuading the merchant to take a basket of dried apples in part payment for his gissls left the store and t.sik her way homeward, well pleased with the bargain. Meeting a neighbor on the way, the tw o stopeda moment to exchange greet ing and inquire the news. "That rem in. Is me," said Mrs. Biowu, promptly. " I've just this inintue parted from 'Liza Xaylor, aud she told me that she'd seen Mrs. Stebbins, w ho ia jest from Burnville, and left old Mrs, Cole as low as could be with the fever. 'Liza said they were every minute expecting death, ami siie's no doubt- gone by this time, poor soul. She thinks Jade Cole wiligo to the funeral, if slie knows of the old lady's death." " Why, of course, they ought to send a mestiiige anit let them now," replied Mrs. Miller. "They are their own kin, though not very nigh ; and naturally they'd go to the funeral." Mrs. Miller turned aside two squares to Sieak to Fanny Bates, Mr. John Cole's wife's sister. Miss Bates was seated at her window sewing, and Mrs. Miller cull ed to her : "Say, Fanny, does your sister know that old Mrs. Cole, of Barnville, is Head r " Dead ! Good gracious! You don't say so?" said Miss Bates, dropping her work and leaning out of the window. Do come in and tell me about it." "WelLI can't rooyeniently atop just now, as it's time to tie putting on dinner, and Hiram's so particular. But I've jest this minute heard from Mrs. Brown that the old lady was allying yesterday when Mrs. Stebbins left Barnville, and of coarse the funeral will be to-morrow. Wonder if your sister Cole wiligo?" "I don't know as she's heard of it," Fanny Bate answered, in mine excite ment. "But III go right around and see. We never heard she was sick or Jane would hare gone np to see her, though commonly there ain't much visiting be tween theni." Mrs. John Cole was busy making app e dumplings when her sister Fanny rushed into the kitchen, . - set ESTABLISHED 1827. "Jane oh, my! I'm most out of breath. Have you heard of old Mrs. Cole's death over to Barnville?" Mrs. John dropped the dumpling that she was just rounding gym metrically in' the palms of her hands. " Good gracious, Fanny ! yon have giv en rue a turn. When did she die, and how did you hear it?" " She was dying when Mrs, Stebbins left Barnville yesterday, and Mrs. Miller says the funeral will be to-morrow." "And they never sent me a word of message ! Well, that beats! But then we ought to make allowance for folks, when there's a death in the family, and 90 much grief and trouble, and such a Kit of things to attend to. Besides, it mightn't be convenient to get a horse and a boy to come fifteen miles to let us know ; so, all the same, we'll go to the funeral. 'T would n't look friendly, nor like kin, not to do so. And you can go along w ith us, Fanny, being John's sister-in-law. They'd take it kindly of you." "And there's Mrs. Hill," remarked Fanny. " She's some sort of kin to the Coles on the old man's side. Maybe she and her daughter would like to go, as they've got a carryall of their own, I'll just run around and let her know." Mrs. John returned to her dumplings with a deep sigh. " It does seem hearties and unfeeling to le making apple dumplings for din ner, and one's husband's kin lying dead in her collin," she remarked to her half grown daughter. Lucky, there's that cake we made for Sunday's meeting. I'll take it with me, for there'll be a sight of folks come from a distance to the fu neral, and some of 'em will have to stay to dinner. And you can get a good bas ket of grapes out of the garden, Lizzie. They are early, and won't come in amiss." " .nd we must have plenty of white Rowers, you know, ma," said Lizzie, in lively excitement and anticipation ; and I'll wpar a black sash with my white ire, like Judge Martina daughters at old Mrs. Martin's funeral." " We'll all wear our black dresses," said Mrs, Cole. " It looks more respectful like ; and I'm told it's the fashion at fu nerals, even where there's no kin." So the next morning, bright and early, two vehicles were seen to leave the little village, closely crowded with black-robed figures, most of whom carried wreaths and bunches of white flowers. In this part of the country it was the j custom to have all buryings at precisely j one o'clock, so the party had no fear of i being toti late for the funeral. Mr. John Cole drove his owr wagon, and Mrs. Hill hers, containing her daughter and a couple of neighbors who, having a slight acquaintance with the Barnville Cotes, considered it but friend ly and respectful to the fartTly to attend toe funer d. - They went at at a brisk nUe nntil they approached Barnville, whose principal street they entered at a proper and be coming funeral pace. "It dues seem to me as if a sort o' shad-di.-r hang over the place to-day," Mrs. Hill observed, as she looked from umler her spectacles at the people passing. PiKirold Uly ! Her death will be felt, for a better and a kinder woman never lived." " Look ! there's the house, with the parlor window shet, and, I declare, little Jemmy Cole carrying in cheers !" j "And just see that pile of ivy rubbish at the Hoot of the back stairs ! They've been fixing up the parlor with garlings on the walls," said another. "Andyonder's the minister aero) at the 'pothecary'a talk in' L Jeeuis Cole j himself 1" exclaimed Mrs. Cole. "And ; he in his every-tlay clothes, and looking j not a bit dowucast. Well, I suppose he . hasu't bad time to dress." They alighted at the front door where they were met by Master Johnny, w ho, 1 suddenly boiling out, nearly knocked j down stout Mrs. Hill before she was I aware. I " Well, Johnny, how are you?" said ! Mrs. John, in a tone of commiseration. ! "Aud how is your ma, Johnny ?" j "She's very well, 1 thank yer, ma'aui," said llie boy, with parrot-like politeness, while staring at the visitors with a beam- iug countenance. , " Well, Johnnv, show its the wav, and ! go aud let your folks know that we are here. He don't seem to care a bit," she added, as the boy skipped otf; "but then children never realizes the awful ueas ol death, it seems to uie," looking around on her own eager-eyed off spring. They walked solemnly into the parlor, the door of which Johnny had proudly throw u opeu, and seating themselves in a bhtck Tj against the wall, rigidly awaited tiie appearance of one ol the family. "It's mighty strange that the colli o isu't iu here," wUtspered Miss Bates. " And such a show ol bright, gay dowers, tour " I smell cake!" said Mrs. HilL Just then Johnny's voice was heard calling at the head of the kitchen stairs : "Bess! I say, Bess! Here's a lot of folks cuuie lo Uie circus!" " Uracioua govdnesa ! said Mrs. Cole. Oh, did you ever?" said Mrs. Hill, in a stajje whisper. The two young Coles) suppressed a giggle. presently Tommy came skipping back. " I told 'em in' gran'ma'scomin' now," he briedy announced. A little stir, as the ladies settled them selves in their seats primly. . " Be quiet, uow ; they're bringing in Uie co mil," said Mrs. Cole to her daugh ter. The door opened and there entered a a portly, pleaaaut-faced old lady, who smilingly held out ber hand to the visitors. They all aiuialtaneoosly started to their feet, with Various amazed exclama tions, " Why, the land s sake V. " Have mercy on us f "Why, Mrs. Cole r Tbe old lady atopped short, looking al most as surprised as the visitors. A dead silence etusoexL then all looked from Mrs. Cole to each other.

His Je nudged him, but he was be yond controlling his feelings at this mo ment, and bursting into a laugh, he seiz ed the old lady's hands in both of his own. "I declare. Cousin Cole, I'm delighted to see you looking so well never saw you looking better in my life. And to think ha, ha, ha! to think we've all come fifteen miles to you're funeral !" " To Bessie's wedding, yon mean !" said the old lady, still looking bewil dered. "Weddinz! Is Bessie going to be married V And then, perforce, there were explan ations, to the great mortification of the visitors, ami to the great amusement of the old lady. As to Tommy, his delight knew no bounds, and he dashed into the yard and fairly rolled on the grass in his convul sive merriment. "Now that you have so kindly come to my funeral, said the old lady sulilingly, " You must of course stay to the wed ding. It was kept a secret till yesterday, and there'll be only a few relatives ami intimate friends nobody invited out of town. But we'll be glad to have you stay." And they did stay, being so hospitably pressed by the family, Mrs. John Cole consoling herself with the thought of the cake ami fruit she had brought along a suitable ottering for a wedding. And that evening, by a bright moonlight, the funeral procession that had in the morn ing lugubriously entered Barnville, drove gayly away from the wedding, and all the way homeward indulged in reflec tions upon the gossiping folks who, out of a slight cob! and fever, could have made up a story of death and a funeral. The Fuel of the Future. The effects of the introduction of nat ural gas as fuel are likely to be more gen eral and radical than was at first thought possible. It now seems to be improbable that solid fuel will ever again be nsed in places w here natural gas has been tried, or that coal will be used in its original form in any section of the country where it is accessible and cheap. The fact has been demonstrated that fuel gas is super ior in all respects to coal in all processes of manufacture; first, in producing a better article i second, in giving more perfect combustion and consequently less w -ste of heat and power; third, in a vast economy in time and wages of labor; ami fourth, in ease of manipula tion and certainty of results. Fuel gas, consequently, will be cheaper than coal in all industrial processes, even where the prii-e of the former exceeds that of the coal by half. It is an admitted iact that there has 1 een a prodigal waste of heat and of power in our method of con suming coal, even under tbe most favor able circumstances, and that, with fur naces properly constructed, there need be no such lorn where fuel g-is is used. This fact being accepted as established the question conies, np, from what sub stance can fuel gas be best ind most cheaply made? Much has been written on the cheapness of fuel gas made upon water; and a little while ago the state ment was telegraphed all over the coun try that an Ohio man had discovered a process by w hich he could manufacture half a million feet of superior fuel gas from a 1 Mir re I of petroleum and still have by-products worth as much as the petro leum in its original form. But nothing more bus been heard from this wonder ful genius or his remarkable discovery, and it is likely he was mistaken. Water gas, so oil led, has to be made partly from coke, with the accompanying waste of force incident to the converstion of roil into that coke, thus adding largely to the cost of the gas. Experts estimate that the amount of petroleum at present pro duced would, when turned into gas, suf ficient to supply about three cities like Pittsburg with fuel, and no more. With petroleum thus used for fuel gas, the price would soon tie so advance. I as to liecome .sirctii-ally prohibitory. The de mand for refined oil as an illuminant is steadily growing, and it fills so impor tant an ottice in that field that we can not think of having it diverted to other purposes. Water gas and petroleum gas lieing out of question, it is settled that the fuel gas of the future must be made from coal, ami recent discoveries render it possible to inannCv-ture a first class article from either anthracite or bitumin ous coat, and from either lump coal or coal waste, the supply of which in all the .older mining districts is practically in exahustible, A radical revolution in the fuel busi ness of the country is, therefore we be lieve, near at bund. It seems to us to be likely that within the next five years all considerable centers of population now denpending upon coal as fuel will be burning fuel gas manufactured from coat, each city or town having its plaht and system of distribution. It is probable that coal gas as an illuminant will give way to electricity, which is gradually be ing so improved and cheapened as will in time render it preferable to gas, while the pipes now used to convey the g-.u? to comsutners will serve to supply them wi'h a better and more convenient fuel than they have ever known. In the event of all this coming about, the manu facturers of fuel gas will occupy the same position toward its censumers that the spinners of wool and cotton do to the manufacturers of fabrics from these sta ples. They will take tlie coal in its crude form, concentrate its heat pro ducing powers, to deprive it of all its use less constituents, and serve it ready for use in a shape calculated to give the best possible result. To some this my appear to be a super sanguine view, but time, we think, will demonstrate that we are right.

Ministers frequently meet with amns ing as well as pathetic circumstances in the performance of their parishonal du ties. The payment of the wedding f.-e is one of the most trying things to the reverend gentleman's gravity, when it is made by a certain class of men who seem to have no original ideas on the sabject. The following incident was related by a minister's wife, ami occurred in one of the manufacturing towns of Massachu setts. On one of the wildest of nsid-winter nights about nine o'clock, when we were just thinking of putting ont the lights and retiring, there came a furious pull at the bell. "Who can that be this time of night?" said my husband. "Go and see for yourself?" I an swered. 1 "Good evenin, parson," I heard a deep voice ntter as the door opened. " Purty powerful storm aout, ain't it ? Guess you wasn't look in' for callers sicb a night, was you?" By this time the parlor door was open- i ed, and there entered a tall, gaunt, Ian- tern jawed man of some forty years of age, and a little fidgety woman wrapped to the eyes in heavy shawls and thick veils. They both seemed very much abashed at my presence and to my remarks about the weather and my questions about the wannth of the room, whether it was com fortable, they answered in the merest monosyllables. I succeeded, however, in unwrapping the r.or woman, and the conversation grew less and less, while they both sat bashfully side by side, seeming at a loss how to proceed with fheir important business. At last the man twisted hi nisei: to the edge of his chair and leaning to ard his companion, said : " Shall I tell the parson what we come over here for, Melindy T "Yes, tell him, of coarse," she an swered. "We are come to to git married. Yon see Melindyan me's been keepin' com pany goin on tew years last Christmas, an' she says now as w e might jest as well get married right away an she'd do w ithout a troswy. So I said that right away means to-night, an' so I got the license, and here we be. Melindy, air vou ready, old girl T' It did not Like many moments to make them man and wife, and when the last words of prayer dropped from my hus band's lips, the newly-ma ie groom cram med one of his homy hands deep into his pocket, and pulling out a handful of coin, asked : " What's yer price forsich a job?" "Oh, I always leave that niatter to the generosity of the parties concerned." " Well, say, look a-here (in an under tone and turning his back to me,) do you think you could git along with a dollar and a half?" Here Melindy pulled his coat-tail and whispered : " Say a dollar an' a quarter. Sam ! That is a great plenty." Then all was silent for five minutes, in which "sain " counted out a dollar and a quarter in one, two, three and five-cent pieces, and at my husband's direction, emptied the pile into my lap. I asked them to sit down and get warm before going home, which thev did. I noticed that the bride was breathing very heavily, and I asked her if she had a cold. " Ob, nothin' but the azmy. I've been half dead with it nigh unto five years. Sam thinks niebbe if I quit workin' in the mill I'll get better of it I think myself bein married will begilfer me." When they departed Sam told a where they were to live and insisted on us calling to sje them. So one day when we were driving past theii home I went in a moment. They had been married only six months, but it seemed to me Melindy had gnwn much older and had the most unhappy air ahotit her conceivable. As soon as she had greeted me she began pouring out her woes into my ears. "Oh, if I'd a' known what it was he was bringin' me to, I'd never 1' come to live with him an' to beone of his family. Why, he told me married life was Par rydise on earth, so he did, an' I never knowed as how he'd been married four times, an' had a lot o' young uns scatter ed all over creation he w is a goin' to have me to take care of. But after we got down to housekeeoin' they all came home, and among 'em his sister's two young 'uns. That's one of 'em beating the dish pan with the poker. He's the strongest six-year-old you ever see. He's beat everything in the house to flinders. But the worst of all is Sarn takes a dram now an' then' an' comes home so cross an' ugly I don't know what to do! An' Sally Ann, by his second wife, is a stuck up thing an' mocks me when I get to wheezin' nnusnal. An' my agony ain't no littler, and beside that I'm gettin a weak Ir.ick. I promised you I'd come to church, but such people as I hain't time for much religion." Here the six-year-old got into trouble with the ca , which objected to heins Hilled from under the stove hy the tail, and Melindy flying to tlie rescue, I made my esi'spe. Poor Melindy, with no time Sir reli gion! Who could have greater need for it than just suzh poor, struggling souls as yon! I told the state of affairs to my hus band who remarked that he thought that marriage tie was hardly worth a dollar and a quarter, at least to one of the par ties. Oil Flowing Into His Well. Joshua Bailey, of Stony R'in. Berks county, has di-a-overl owl oil in his well anil the residents in that vicinity think he has struck it rich. At first ever body suspected that some practical joker had poured a quantity of oil into the well, but it has been emptied at feast a dozen times and from a barrel to a barrul and a-half of pare oil has been pumped out each time. The well is thirteen feet deep and f wen (bur to five inches of oil Ac cumulates on the surface about every twenty-fbnr hours. Capitalists are now endeavoring to lease from 300 to 500 acres of ground in the vicinity Sir the purpose of prospecting. Mr. Bailey refused an offer of $6,000 to-day tut his lot on which tbe well is located. The tract covers about sa sow. I WIIOLE NO. 1809. Keep the Boys Happy.

" h there is plenty of room between us on the seat." I said. " Do you like to ride, my little man?" " Yes ma'am, very much," he answer ed, glan.-ing into my face. Xot another word did he speak till we drove through the gate up to the wide porch, when h 1 said. " There is mamma waiting for us," Eighteen years had not wrought much change in Mrs. Stanton. There was just a little frost visible among her pretty brown hair, but her brow was just as s;riooth, and her smile just as sweet, as in the olden time when we were girls o gvther. Very s.mn supper was on the ta ble. In perfect order ami quiet six rosy cheeked boys gathered to their places, little Bobby sitting in a high chair by Mr. Stanton. " These are not all yours, May ?" I ex claimed as they ranged along the table with fnli led hau ls. "I wn every one of them, and -the j seventh son the Dia.'tor you know is j asleep in the cradle," an 1 she gave a '. merry laugh, as she saw my look of sur- : prise. ' " Goodness m ! ! arhl you look so young j and happy ! " i " I am just your age ; I am happy. I have a pleasant home, a kind husband, and blessed children, but I have no Iaighter. Our little May, between Rib by and the Doctor, died when only a year old ; we missed her much," and her eyes glistened with unshed tears, as she S;oke. Xot a child's voice was heard through the whole meal. The parents supplied their wants and we chattel as cheerfully as if there ha I been no children present. A pleasant lookinggirl took the little one from his chair and carried hi in to the nursey. " I have no parlor," my friend said, "I want my little ones to be with as; so we ae the sitting piom for our reception mora." The children come in quietly some of them gathered round the center table, over which hung a lamp ; the eldest hk a Uiok to read : two played doiuinos and two jackstraws. Biby climbed on his father's knee and little ra-tor sat with his mother. When the cl k struck sev en the oldest son closed his book. " Come little Bib, it is bed time." The little fellow kbed his Cither and mother and went away quietly. At eight o'clock tbe d iminoft were pla ced in their box, the jackstraws put in place, and the four little ones gave their good-night kiss and went off to bed. At nine the oldest son put his mark in his hook, kiswd his parents and quie ly dis appeared. "Are your children always as quiet and happy as they have been to-night?" I asked. " Why yes ! Only yon are company and they did not talk over their games above a whisper. I do not like to he disv turhej when I have visitors.

They will all tell that it was the pleaswntest day that late November has ever seen. And so will some one else, the weather clerk.

A very sad and melancholy expression came over the clerk's face when the ques- i tion was asked.

There was another rose in the rase, in some lair southern garden, and the pretty one up town was cast aside, jilted, thrown away left. " Sincerely believe that one girl cried over the ruthless action of the sunbeam, j "I certainly the pretty rose began to fade and die. It couldn't stand it. Its heart was breaking, but, so far as I have learned, it never mmpliined. It j'lst pined away, waiting for the sunbeam that never came.
