THE WEDDING JOURNEY.
We had talked in a murmuring whisper,
And a gentle nudertone,
Till the day bad died in the darkness,
And the stars came out in the zone :
Then my bride, in ladylike calmness,
And wits all her accustomed grace,
Leaned back in a gentle slumber,
With a smile on ber well-bred lace.
Ai the train rushed on in the darkaeta,
Lik flashing meteor sent,
I took no heed of the present.
Bat backward my memory went ;
And I thought with feeling of anguish.
And a throb of sadden pain,
Of the Up of the murmuring waters.
And the sandy Hampshire lane.
I saw The Shoals " in the distance,
And the blue waves fall and rise.
And a passionate face on my shoulder,
With love in her starry eyes ;
No calm and well-bred feeling,
No decorous modern art,
Bat f jnd and foolish passion,
A faithful, womanly heart.
Bat the strength of ber love consumed ber,
And she sleeps in ber early grave
In the acenteo. Hampshire valley,
Near the sound of the sobbing wave.
But here by my side I see ber.
Pale with a passionate pain.
Too true, too deep for earth's trials.
Oh, love of the woodland lane.
I shook off the strange, odd feeling,
And saw the tweet vision fade.
And my bride awoke from ber dreaming,
" I thought we were there." she said.
Where wss I ? Oh, on the journey
That I took with my calm, cold bride ;
And the other wss only a phantom,
A vision that faded and died.
THOROUGHLY CHANGED.
He rushed up the high stone steps
didn't stop to ring the bell, left the great
ball door standing wide open, and in his
unceremonious haste almost upset a ser
vant. "Sue, Sue !" be loudly called, as be
nervously dodged from hall to library
and from library to the parlor.
"Here," came the reply from another
room, and a not homely girl of nineteen
or twenty years tripped into his presence.
There be stood batleu, in slippers
and gown. The rain poured jlown in
torrent without : and, indeed, yousg Dr.
Barnes) was a sorry spectacle as be wait
ed, dripping in the ball way that dress
ing gown, with here and there a rent, a
delightfully positive proof of bis bache
lorhood. It is not wonderful that bis ap
pearance provoked a laugh. Merriment
however, quickly disappeared when be
said:
Mue, I must break my engagement
with you to-night ; I've
He did not get farther. There were
evident signs of displeasure on the young
lady's countenance. She believed her
self sorely aggrieved, and she did net
deem it wrong to display resentment.
Seldom wss it that she found the world
at croes-purpoees with ber. The only
child of a very wealthy and indulgent
man, ber mother dead a dozes years or
more, she bad ever queened it in her
home, with none to dispute ber way ;
and when she enter society her role bad
not been changed. Now to be so greatly
disappointed, as the words of ber lover
suggested, was as unbearable as it wss
unexpected.
She would allow him to make no ex
planation; the simple announcement
that be intended to break an engage
ment with ber was sufficient and she
abruptly interrupted him :
"Just as I've expected all the while,
sir," she said. I knew yoa would fail
me at the last minute yon always do.
Her conscience half pricked ber as she
uttered these words, but she could not
hesitate and in a sarcastic tone she con
tinued, "Some poor, sick quarryman, I
suppose wants yon to come out and con
dole with him and give him physic;
and of course I know that any excuse is
good enough to escape my company.
Now, sir, I dont care whether you go to
the party with me or not : I am going
that ssttles it- It would have been much
snore gentlemanly, though, to have told
me at first you wouldn't go. There, don't
say anything ; I know you never intend
ed to go."
So the fair young girl expressed ber
wrath, and with eyes flashing fire she
swept sway, leaving Ler caller alone to
care for himself as best he could. He
bad tried to say something in bis own
defence, but all in vain. Not a word
wonld she heed. Here was the party of
the season, where weuld be gathered all
the best society of the city, and Sue Cor
nell's heart wss set on attendance. To
be deprived of that privilege, to which
she looked forward so long and for which
she bad made so many preparation, was
not to be thought of. Her language was
bitter, and probably not such as is gen
erally credited to the good young ladies
of to-day ; but, after all, she spoke as
would the average mortal under similar
circumstances. Many are the words we
speak in our baste and anger that sound
sot well reported. We say so much that
we don't mean. Still net ours is it to
defend this passionate outburst of Sue
Cornell; she deserves blame and we
doubt not oar readers will accord it.
The young man left the bouse as be
entered it, without other protection from
the storm than bis torn wrapper and
slippers. A stern, grivd look was on his
face as he passed karriedly np the street
t bis office. There be addressed a letter
and posted it Then going to his board
ing bouse be packed his traveling satch
el. For an hour he was engaged in deep
thought, and the result of bis cogitations
was that the next train carried him tow
ard the South.
Sue Cornell went to the party, but it
was painfully evident that ber gay de
meanor was assumed. Her lady friends
vii ber honor to congregate in little
groaps of threes ana fours aud indulge
in knowing surmises as to the absence of
Dr. Barnes.
One more bold than the rest asked :
"Why, dear Miss Cornell, where is the
doctor to-night T"
She received the rather curt reply :
"Really, I doat know; I am not his
keeper."
Lees than two months ago their engage
ment bad been announced.
Tbe dandies, perfumed, kid gloved,
and otherwise fixed for fascination,
crowded about ber, and she was promi
nent in nearly every dance. Her laueh
was loader than its wont, and in s hun
dred ways ber conduct contrasted strange
ly with her wsoal quiet demeanor.' Each
friend who joined ber saw that there was
ESTABLISHED 1827.
something amiss; but none guessed tbe
true6tory.
It was late when she reached her room,
but a longtime elapsed ere sleep came.
The day, with all its events, Etood out
before ber and her pillow was wet with
tears. She had been at the party ; it had
proved a vain Affair and what it bad
cost ber ! Yet ber thouzhta wire not all
thece of contrition. She believed ber
lover bad acted in an inexcusable man
ner; but stillber better self whispered :
"He may have had good reasons for his
action. I am sorry I said so much," wss
her conclusion, and then she thought,
"I will send for him to-morrow and tell
him I acted wrongly. He is too noble to
bear me malice ; he loves me, and I
know our friendship will not end."
' To-morrow came, but Sue Cornell's
errand boy returned from Dr. Barnes's
office with the intelligence that it was
cloted ; but there was a letter for Mies
Sue, and the envelope was hastily torn
off.
Her name was in his handwriting and
a thousand wild imaginings thronged
her brain as she came to the contenta
There were only a few words, and
they were written on a telegraphic mes
sage blank. Ske read :
"Memphis, Tex., July 10.
"Da. Charles Babnw : Your father is
dead. Your mother is stricken with
fever to-day. Dare you come ?"
Da. James Loom is.'
This was alL There was no word
written by Charles Barnes. Ah, then it
was that Sue Cornell proved her wom
anhood. How she repented the impetu
ous language of yesterday, and how she
censured herself for having so harshly
treated one whose heart must have been
well nigh broken before he was called
upon to hear her blame. When be had
need for her sympathy and her love, she
bad given him insult and frowns, and
hard words. What could be think of
her? He had gone, would it be forever?
We leave her to her thoughts her
grief, her repentance. Never, perhaps,
has human being more keenly felt the
cruel contrast between the black reality
and tbe bright what might baye been.
Tbe city paers next day chronicled
the departure of Dr. Barnes and publish
ed the Memphis telegram, a copy of
which some enterprising reporter bad
obtained at the office.
The few days went by, but the only
news from the South was of the direful
sway of the fever, and the story was told
and told again of the hundreds dead and
dying. The newspapers made Memphis
a very pest-pen, and there was no doubt
ing the truthfulness of the record.
Three letters bad Sue Cornell written
to that city, each bearing that name
which was dearer to her than any other
in all the earth ; but there came no re
ply. Had the letters reached him? Was
he treating ber with contempt, or ter
rible thought was he dead ? She was
changed thoroughly changed : and bow
graciously did ber sister belles discuss
the grief that was gnawing her very life
away. Her father looked on in fear and
trembling. He, too, knew her sorrow,
and his big heart sympathized with her
to the full.
Father and daughter had few secrets
one from the other, and Judge Cornell
had been by no means averse to the at
tachment which had sprung up between
Sue and the handsome, courtly young
Southerner who bad come North to earn
fortune and reputation.
But he was startled beyond degree
when one morning in August his daugh
ter announced her intention of going im
mediately to Memphia He was not pre
pared for this, and he reasoned a long
while with his child, endeavoring to show
ber tbe project was wrong, if not posi
tively suicidal. But she was determined,
and the gray -haired old man left her rule
him this time, even as she had for a half
score of years ; he only stipulated that he
should go, too.
"If you will risk your life, darling," he
said, "I shall risk mine also."
Trunks were packed and other ar
rangments completed for the journey. It
was Monday sight, and they were to go
out with the early train on the morrow.
Tuesday morning came, and there was a
bustle and hum. at an early hour in and
about Judge Cornell's mansion. It was
within an hour of train time and as yet
Sue had not come from her room. Fear
ing that she had overslept herself, her
maid ventured to enter the bed-chamber.
Tbe fair young girl lay in bed, but in the
night there had come a greater change
than all that had been marked in the
weeks past. Exhausted nature had suc
cumbed ; a burning fever had taken bold
of ber, and in a delirium she raved of a
dark fate that pursued her, and, tossing
about in her agony, 6he recognized none
of the friends about her, not even the
weeping old man who bent over with a
kiss and fondest words, and whose prayer
went up so silently but so fervently unto
heaven for deliverance from peril.
There was gloom in that house many
days, but at last the crisis was reached
and past; a ray of hope shot in, and re
covery was assured.
August and September had gone by,
and it was nigh mid-October whea the
invalid first ventured down the gravel
walk that led from the house to the orch
ard, and to the rustic seat where Charles
Baines had first spoken his love and
where he and she bad plited their troth.
Standing there in the warm autumn sun
shine, she recalled scenes of tbe old life,
and she again decided to go forth in
quest of bim she had dismissed.
She grew rapidly stronger, and it was
not long ere the trunks were packed
sgain and father and daughter were en
route for tbe South.
For a fortnight they remained in Mem
phis, but there was no cine to tbe one
they sought
"He is dead," concluded Sue, "and
with tbe hundreds of other victims he
has been lost sight of".
A new idea came. If dead, it were
possible that in some of the cemeteries
there would be s bead-stone marking bis
grave. The graveyards were visited, and
one day she chanced upon a stone, in
scribed :
-Dr. Charles Barnes."
There was a lengthy inscription, but
she read aothing but the name bis
name ! The cemetery was crowded, and
many there were whose actions evidenced
that is was not more curiosity which
brought tltem thither.
Sue Cornell knelt down ; she sobbed
aloud and kifeed the green turf just be-

grave. Her lather, not far distant dis
covering her position, hastened to her
side. He, too, taw the name, and bend
ing down to comfort her, was touched
lightly en the shoulder. He turned, and
a familiar voice greeted him.
Sue looked up through her tears.
There stood Charles Eames, in flesh and
blood before her. His werda thrilled
her through; a moment more and she
was in bis arma Hurriedly she told the
story of her sufferings since that terrible
day when (he had gone from him ia an

The grave was not his, but that of his
father, whose name and profession had
both been given to bim.
This story is not an idle fabrication ;
and the 27th of the following November
was a thanksgiving day, indeed, to Sue
Cornell and Charles Barnes, as they stood
upon God's altar and pledged anew in
matrimony eternal love each for tbe
other.
Odd Methods of an Evangelist.
The death of Miller Willis, th Georgia
evangelist revives many interesting sto
ries concerning his life and methods.
He was certainly the queerest character
that ever preached the Gospel at a camp
meeting, at which places he was gener
ally found. lib pure and holy life, how
ever, was s model for all. . But about his
methods : He frequently stopped strang
ers on the streets, and planting himself
in front of them would announce some
startling text and then disappear, leaving
the " or woman to preach the sermon
to his or her liking.
' For instance, hs on one occasion stop
ped a stranger and shouted in his ears,
"This night thy soul shall be required of
thee 1" Willis vanished. But a year
afterward he met tbe man in another
city. Willis had forgotten him, but the
stranger knew his man. Approaching
him be extended bis hand and said :
"That text you shouted out so strangely
to me on the streets of MiUedgeville set
me to thinking. It was the means of my
conrertioa.
On another occasion, a dark, rainy
night in winter, he passed a crowded ho
tel in Charleston. Men were lounging
and smoking in the lobby. Willis open
ed the door, but the little figure in drip
ping garments attracted no attention.
Suddenly after rapping loud on the floor
with his heavy stick, every eye was
turned toward him, when Willis said,
"There won't be a man in this house alive
in fifty years from to-night !" And be
slammed the door and went out into the
night
Sometime after he was approached by
a young man on a street car, who intro
duced himself by saying : "I have long
desired to meet you and to thank you
for saying what yoa did in tbe hotel
lobby one winter's night Your words
have been ringing in my ears ever since,
and I am now a Christian man." Atlanta

Good Work Done by Women.
There are said to be 200,000 women in
the Christian Temperance union 135,000
King's Daughters, 100,000 Women's Re
lief corps and 35,000 Eastern Star, all of
whom are more or lees enthusiastically
at work for other women less fortunate
than themselves. Many singular inci
dents come to light of the activity of
different circles. Now it is to open a
home, where yonne women can be taken
care of until they can secure employment
and where those who are not earning
enough to support themselves can be as
sisted.
Again the work ;s in behalf of children
less than six years old, who have been
been found to have been employed ten
hours a day. Mr. Campbell has shown
the state bureau of labor that there are
actually such instances, the labor per
formed being stripping tobacco, picking
thread and sewing on buttons. A lare
number of these women are interesting
themselves in the conditions nnder
which poor young girls, whose necessi
ties leave them no choice of labor, are
employed.
Others have persuaded women, of
means who own seaside cottages to ia
vite one or more deserving girls to spend
their vacations with them. This line Of
work was started in the spring, when
several women with carriages made It a
duty and pleasure to take some one less
fortunate for an airing in Central Park,
and now it appears that others have gone
so far as to leave their homes for the
summer in charge of women whose work
kept them in the city, but who could
thus have larger rooms and far pleasant
er quarters than their earnings afforded.
Much of this work is done so quietly that
it is only by accident one hears of it

Queen Victoria's Wealth.
An act was recently passed enabling
the queen to make a will, as she was not
before this supposed to be the possessor
of any property, and the impression pre
vails that she has effected large savings.
This in not the case. Although she has
for years lived in retirement, her expea
diture hss not materially decreased, for
the glittering scene of royal pageantry is
still kept up. She has expended consid
erable sums upon the purchase of tbe
estates of Osborne and Balmoral, and
their maintenance falls on ber. She has,
too, made considerable monetary pres
ents to ber daughters on their marriages,
so that although she inherited 200.000
from a silly person who left ber this
amount her private fortune is compara
tively small. '
Two years ago Lord Salisbury's govern
ment submitted to parliament a proposal
to endow her grandchildren. A - com
snittee of the heuse of commons wss ap
pointed to consider this demand, whea it
was decided that provision ought only to
be made for the children ef the Prince of
Wale. The eommiMee was informed,
under a pledge of secrecy, of the total
value of her majesty's investments. As
I wss a member ef tbe committee I can
not of coarse, violate this pledge; but I
do not think that lam breaking eoafl
denoe in saying tbst the amount was sur
prisingly small. Henry Labouchere in

The Threads In the Money.
- Mis Helen M.Rmnigtoo, of SaaFraa
clsch, says she invented the paper used
ia our United States currency.
All who handle paper money have no
ticed the two fine threads which ran
lengthwise through the bill. How tbe
thread happens to get into the paper is a
question which hss puzzled those who
have studied paper currency. -
The sheet of paper on which the bill
is printed is really two sheets of paper,'
Mrs, Kensington explained to a reporter
yesterday. . "The paper used is a tough
tissue. Ths threads, which are usually
supposed to be of silk, are of ordinary
Kentucky bagging. They are placed be
tween to sheets of paper which are then
pressed together by a strong pressure.
The two sheets are kept together by s
thin coating of fish glue. ' I cannot say
more of the process, for it is s secret
which counterfeiters have never succeed
ed In thoroughly penetrating.
"This process of miae was originally
devised by me for the purpose of produc
ing s fibred paper of great toughness and
durability. I had not then thought of
applying it to the tnanuiactare of paper
for Treasury notes. Tbe patent a yoa
will see by the certificate, was issued to
me oa May 1, 1366. It was not until ten
or twelve years later that the government
began to use my process in the manufac
ture of its own paper.
"The credit for invent:ng this style of
paper has been given to Crane, of Dal ton,
Mass, who now manufactures the paper
on which the government prints its notes.
But it is my invention and mine alone.
Of course, the patent has now ran out
but he made use of it some three years
before 1SS0L. My patent did Dot ran ost
natil 1(33, so that the government bene
fitted by my process for some five ot six
years, during which time I was entitled
to some compensation.
"Did I get that compensation ? No, I
did not' Do I mean to? Ofcourseldo.
The United States government certainly
owes me something. The use of my pa
per saved a great deal of loss by inakirg
the manufacture of presentable counter
feits more difficult And I have still an
other process by which I can produce a
paper which I will defy the best counter
feiters to come anywhere near imitating.
Iam keeping tbe inventian quiet I know
the government will want it and it will
do no barm to keep it to myself for the
present"
"Yoa intend to make your claim for
damages known to the government
soon 7" was asked.

In a New Role.
He was such a smart-looking tramp
that ths woman ia the back yard, when
hs appeared, tLooght he was an agent of

" Good morning, ma'am," he said, glib

"I don't want to buy anything to-day,"
she replied, busying herself with a clothes
line.
" Ira glad ef that ma'am," he chirped,
for I've got nothing to sell.

she inquired, her woman's curiosity get
ting the better of her.
" Thank a gracious heaven, ma'am, I'm

" What are yoa, then T" and she be
gan to back and fill.
" I'm s collector, ma'am."
"We don't owe you anything," she
said, nervously.
" " Yoo should Ve grateful for that
ma'am, but yoa are mistaken in me
again ; I'm not that kind of a collector."
" No, ma'am ; I'm a collector of vital
statistics."
" Going to take tbe census again ?" she
inquired; anxiously.
" Wrong sgain, ma'am. It's only plain,
every-day vital statistics I want"
" What do yoa mean ?"
" Vital statistics, ma'am ; vital statis
tics ; bread and meat, and perhaps pie
or cold puddia, ma'am, to put it in ths
vernacular. That's the only vital statis
tics I'm after, and they're very vital
ma'am, for I haven't seen one for twen
ty-four hours." ..
" Oh," she exclaimed, with a sigh of
relief, and he went awsy loaded with
statistics.
Beating Time by Cable.
How be once "beat time," or, rather,
apparent time, in a remarkable fashion,
is told by Mr. Archibald Forbes in sn
article on his reminisceaces of war cor
respondent life, in the Nineteenth Centu
ry. It is s story of s telegraphic dispatch
from the battlefield. In the early morn
ing of the 22d of November, 1S78 a Brit
iah division under Gen. Sir Samuel
Browne occupied the Afghan fortress of
Ali Musjid, up In the Khyber Pass. Mr.
Forbes rode back ten miles to Jumrood,
where the field telegraph, was, and sent
the news to England la a short message
bearing date 10 a. m. There is five hoars
difference in time between Indie sad
England, in favor of the latter ; and the
Daily- News, containing this telegram
dated 10 am., was selling in the streets
of London at 9 a. am, one hour of appa-
' rent time before it was dispatched, Its
anticipation of time, however, did not
end here.'' " ! ,
Owing to the five hours difference be
tween the clacks of London and New
York, the message was in time for the
regular editions of the New York papers
that same morning. It wss thence im
mediately wired across the American
Continent and, owing again to the differ
ence in time between tbe Atlantic Coast
snd the Pact tic Slope, the early rising
citizens of San Francisco, purchasing his
snoring paper at 0 a. m, was sble to read
the announcement of an event which act
sally ocenred over two hours later in ap
parent time, some thirteen thousand
miles sway on tbe other side of the globe.
Puck, as Mr. Forbes says, professed Lim
self able to put s girdle round the earth
in forty minutes, bat this telegram sped
half round the globe in two hours less
than ao tisae at alt

No Welcome There.
Hare you ever been in a house where
there is a couple courting? It is most
trying. Yoa think yoa will go and sit
ia the drawing room, snd you march off
there. As yoa open the door yoa hear a
noise, as if somebody had suddenly rec
ollected something, snd when yoa get in
Emily is over by the window, full of in
terest in the opposite side of the road,
and your friend, John Edward, is at the
other end of the room, with his whole
soul he'd iu ttrell b photorraphs of
other people's relatives.
"Oh," you say, pausing at the door, "I
didn't know anybody was here."
"Oh, didn't you?" savs Enily coldly,
in a tone which implies that ske does not
believe you.
Ton hang about for a bit ; then yoa
say:
"It's very dark. Why don't you light
the gas r
John Edward says: "Oh, I hadn't
noticed it" and Emily says that papa
does not like the gas lit in the afternoon.
Yoa tell them one or two items of news
and give them your view and opinion on
any current question ; but it does not ap
pear to interest them. All they remark
on any subject is, "Oh !" "Is it ?" Did
he?" "Yes," and "You don't Bay so."
And after ten minutes of such a style of
conversation you edge up to the door
and slip out snd are surprised to find
that the door immediately closes behind
you and shuts Uaelf without you having
touched it
Half an hour later yoa think yoa will
try a cigar on the piazza The only chair
in the place m occupied by Emily, and
John Edward, if the language of clothes
can be relied on, has evidently been sit
ting on the floor. They do not speak,
but give yoa look that says all that can
be said in a civilised community, and
yoa back out promptly and shut ths door
behind you.
You are afraid to poke your nose into
any room in the house now, so after
walking up and down stairs fox a while
you, go and ait in your own bedroom.
This becomes uninteresting, however, af

and stroll out into the garden. You walk
down tbe path, and as you pa by the
summer house yoa glance in, and there
are thoee two young lovers huddled to

you and are evidently nnder the idea
that for some wicked purpose of your

Fads and Fancies In Underwear
'Strange, isn't it how fashions run
through all classes of garments!" ex
claimed a lady who is noted for good
taste and knowledge of everything per
taining to dress. "And the strangest of
all is the late fancy for elaborate aad ex
pensive underwear. I don't believe that
the quiet and conservative portion of the
community has any idea to what ex
tremes these fancies have been carried.
Think of eighteen, twenty, sometimes
fifty dollars for s single undergarment
which our foremothers would have made
out of two and a half yards of cambric
at fifteen cents per yard, and trimmed
with a bit of Smyrna edging or the tape
trimming made by their own skillful
fingers.
"And think of the number of petti
coats they ued to wear ! I recall a Fourth
of July excursion when I was a young
ster, and the way one of my older sisters
dressed for it She wore a short under
skirt, a quilted petticoat and three white
petticoats under ber dress of embroider
ed cashmere, which was itself lined with
cambric. And now we wear a silk union
suit and one cambric petticoat and some
times not even that" -Yrtc York Ltdjer.
A Nobla Dog.
As a Lehigh Valley passenger train
bound for Shamokin approached Raven
Run, Schuylkill county, Sunday night.
Engineer William Amor stopped the
train npon seeing an object on the track.
Arnor left his engine and went ahead to
remove the object.
A dog's savage growl halted him. A
large bull dog was guarding the body of
a man lying prostrate across the track.
As the engineer approached the body
the dog jumped for him. Arnor ran back
to his engine, but returned with members
of bis crew and passengers.
They found a man lyinz on the track
drunk. He hissed the dog when the
engineer approached the second time.
After the train had been delayed about
half an hour a friend of the drunken fel
low succeeded in coaxing the dog away
and getting the man from the track.
Bashful Men.
Are there any bashful men now extant
among us? Not among the rising gener
ation of "Young America," meet surely.
Perhaps some may exist in tbe form of
some antiquarian or library man, who,
when dragged from bis lair, may be cov
ered with confusion, trying to make a
bow or frame a compliment after the
latest approved mode. But let the eti
quette lover meet one of these recluses on
his own "hunting grounds" and it would
be he who would be the bashful tuan.
We are inclined to the opinion, which
will do doubt be comforting to the diffi
dent snd blushing of both sexes, that
bashfolaess and brains are generally
found in company. Your self-confident
person ii generally the one who has the
least ballast -V. T. Ledjrr.

French Afraid of Water.
Much has been said in a facetious way
about the dilliculty travelers have ia
France getting a simple drink of water,
and some personal experience of the
kind is one of the stock anecdotes ef
every tourist And yet as a matter of
fact this dilliculty can hardly be exag
gerated. In Normandy and Brittainy, Norman
dy cider, with a taste like poor lihir.e
wine but in complexion a shade darker,
is the exclusive beverage of tbe people ;
wine is s luxury, as it is not made so far
north; tea is practically unknown ; coffee
is taken solely in the morning, aud choc
olate likewise; milk is rarely found at
all, and absolutely unprocurable after
noon; and water, to end the list, wouM
never be thought of in this connection.
We stopped at a tine copious spring by
the roadside, and a native passing by
hesitated in curiosity and surprise and
hastened to warn us that water was in
jurious snd that it would make us sick ;
and e.ery time we inquired for water at
a wayside cottage madaiue would refuse
to give it to us and would respond with
the inevitable cider.
We had been about two days on our
road to Paris when we began to get des
perate at this treatment for we had for
gotton how water tasted, and as we pass
ed s well snd saw a woman appear at a
door with s bucket one of ns rushed upon
her snd unceremoniously seized it, and
in snother moment we were drinking
defiantly of the interdicted liquid. The
woman was still standing in her tracks,
dazed and dumbfounded, aa we returned
her bucket full to the brim, and in her
absence of mind she refused the sous we
offered her the first case on record.
