THE. FAITHFUL GUEST.
There was something I forget what
lo take grandfather and grandmoth
er away from home one day in Oetn-
her of the vsur I lived with them in
I Rum's Hollow. It nuy liavo been a
J fimernl or some rcliKiotts meeting, for
i lhev both dieve oil' dicsscd in tlieir
! best, in the gig, with old Ajsx har
nessed lo it, and after I had tucked in
I grandma's iron-grny silk skirt and ran
back to the house for grandpa's "Pec
i lades, and had seen tlio gig vanish in
I the distance, I felt lonclj. Rnrn's
I Hollow was a lonesome place nt all
times; and the hnndsome rambling
mansion, which miaht have sheltered
a regiment, had a ghostly air about it
when one walked through the upper
rooms alone.
There were but two servants in ti.e
kitchen, Hannah Oaks and the Irish
lad, Anthony. I heardthem laughing
merrily together, for, though Hannnh
was an old weman, she wns full of fun,
and in five minutes the door opened,
and Hannah mine with the tray.
"I'lease, miss," said she, as she set
it down, "may I run over to Mapletou
to-night? My sister's married daugV
ter had it boy last night, they say, and
I want to see it lutt'rnlly it's the first
I've ever had nf grand-niece or neph
ew :
"Who brought
joti
the nona?" I
asked.
"Anthony, miss," said Hannah
"He met (ieorge thnt s my nieces
husband when he was out nfler the
eow, straying ns she always is, and he
told him to 'tell UantmU she so grand
aunt."
"You may go," I said, "but don't
stay late, (iraudpa und grandma
may be away all night, and 1 fuel ner
vous. To be sure, there is Anthony,
but I never rely on him. Re certain
not to stay late." I repeated this in
juuetion with a sort of fright stealing
over me a presentiment oi evil, l
miirlit sav and soincthini; prompted
mo to add, "Re back by nine." Why,
I cannot sav. but I telt ns it, at tune.
I should be" in some peculiar danger.
Hannah promised, anil alter doing nil
that I riuired,went away, and 1 heard
her heavy shoes on the garden walk
olilside.
Kurly ns it was, I had dropped the
curtains and lighted the wax candles
on the maolcl, and I sat long over my
tea, finding a certain companionship
in it, as women of all ages will.
I sat thus a long time, and was
startled from my reverie by a rap at
the door a timid sort of rap so that
I knew at once that it wns neither
member of the house nor an intimate
friend. I waited, expecting Autho
n v to answer the door, but riudinj; he
diil not. went to it myself. -
It had crown quite dark, and the
moon rose- late that night. At first
could only make out a kind of crouch
ing figure at the bottom of the porch
Rut when I spoke it advanced, and by
the liL'ht of the hull lamp I saw u
a black man. 1 had alwavshnd a sort
of fear of a neirro, and instinctively
shrunk away, but as J did so he spoke
in a hu.ky whisper :
"This is Massa Morton's isn't it?"
"Yes," I replied, "but grandfather
is out."
I retreated. He advanced.
"Please, miss," he said, "Judge R.
sent me here. He said mnssa 'ud help
me on. Let me stay here a night,
miss. I's trabblud five davs sense 1
left him. Hidin' like. I's awful hun-
gry, 'pears like I'd drop, i
sa s nrter mo. For do lul
aud ole tuas-
ub ob heaben,
miss, let me hide somewhere's, and
gib me jes' a crust. Mas-fa Judge
promise Massa Morton 'ud help nie,
an' it's kept me up. Missus will, 1
know."
I knew that srandfatlier had irivcn
succor to some of these poor wretches
before ; but I lelt that I might Dadoing
wrong by admitting a stranger in his
absence.
Caution and pity struggled within
me. At last 1 said :
"You nave a note from the Judge,
I suppose, sir."
"1 had some writin on a paper,
said the nion, "but I's lost it, do night
it rained so. Ah! miss, 1 s telliu the
trufi' Judge sent me, sure as I's a sin
ner. I's been helped along so far, and
'pears like I mus'gettoCanady. Can't
go back noway. Wife's dare,' nnd ue
young uus. Got clear a year ago.
Miss, I'll pray for you ebry day ob my
life ef you'll jes' be so good to me. Ko
will Dinah. Tank you, miss."
For somehow, when ha spoke of
wile and childreu, I had stepped buck
and let him in.
It was the back hall door at which
the rap had come, and the kitchen was
close ut hand. 1 led him thither.
When 1 saw how worn he was. hew
wretched ; hnnr his eyes Usteued, and
how under iiis rough blue shirt his
heart beat to that jou could c.oin,t the
pulses, J -forgot wy cautjojQ. I brought
ojjt cold meat aud bread, drew a inug
of cider, and spread them en the table.
I he negro ate voraciously, as only a
"j 2'i tf
" . K. Dl.nn.
starving man could cat, and I left
him to find Anthony, t whom I in
tended to give directions for his lodg
ing throughout the night. -
To my surprise, Anthony wns no
where about the houso or garden.
Hannnh must have taken him with
her across the lonely road to Maple
ton. It was natural, but I felt angry.
Yet I longed for Hannah's return,
and listened very anxously until the
lock struck nine. J lien, instead ot
ler footsteps, I heard tlio patter of
rain-drops nnd the rumbling of thun
der, and looking out, saw tlmtii heavy
storm was coining on.
ow, certainly, grandpa nnd grand
ma would not come, aim Jlaminh,
wa.iing for the stwrni to pass, would
not bo here for hours. However, my
fenr cf the negro wns quite gone, and
I felt a certain prido in conducting
myself bravely under these trying cir
cumstances. Accordingly I went up stnirs, found
in the attic sundry pillows and bol
sters, and carried them kitchenward.
"Here," I said, "make yourself a
bed on the settee yonder, nnd be easy
for the night. No one will follow you
in such a terrible storm as tins, and,
no doubt, grandpa will nssistynu whe.u
he returns home. Good-night."
"Uood-night, nnd (Sod bless von,
miss," still speaking in a very husky
whisper. And so 1 left him.
Rut 1 did not tro up stairs to my
bed-room. I intended for that night
to remain dressed, and to sit up in
grandpa's arm-chair, w ith candles nnd
a book for company. Therefore I
locked the door, took tlio most com
fortable position, and opening a vol
ume, composed myself to read.
JJeading 1 tell asleep. How long 1
w mi, a ,
slept I cannot tell. I was
c i
by a low sound like the prying of a
diisel.
At first it mixed with inv last dream I
so completely that I took no liceu ot
it, but at last 1 understood that some
one was at work upon the door.
I sat perfectly motionless, il-c blood
curdling in my veins, and still chip,
chip, chip went the horrible little in
strument, until at last I knew whence
the sounds came.
Rack of the sitting-room wns grand
pa's study. There, in a great oldliish
loucd chair, were stored the family
silver, grandma's jewelry, nnd sundry
sums of money nnd important pnptis.
The safe itself stood in it closet in a
recess, and nt the closet the thief was
at work.
The thief ah ! without a doubt the
ucgro 1 had fed and sheltered.
Perhaps tho next uct would be to
murder nie if I listened. Tho storm
wns still raging; but, though the road
was lonely, better that than this house
with such horrible company. I could
not save my grandfather's property,
but 1 could save my own life.
I crept across the room and into the
hall, and to the door. There, softly
us I could, I unfastened the bars and
bolts, but, alas! one was ubove my
reach. I waited und listened.
Then I moved a hall chair to tho
snot and climed upon it. In doing so
1 struck in v Mi
milder against the door
frame.
It was but a slight noise, but at that
moment the chip of the chisel stopped,
I hoard a gliding foot, and, horror of
horron', a man came from the study,
sprang towards me, and clutched me
with both hands, holding my arms as
in a vice, while he hissed in my car:
"You'd tell, would you? you'd call
help ? You might better have slept,
you had; for you see you've got to pay
for waking. I'd rather hev let a
chick like you oh"; but you know me
now. and 1 can't let you live."
I stared in his face with horror, min
gled with an awful surprise; fur now J
that it was close to me I saw, not the
negro, but our own hired man, Antho
ny Anthony, whom I had supposed
miles aw. y with Hannah, He was
li.tlu moie than a youth, nnd I had
given him many u presunt, and always
treated him well.
1 plead with him kindly.
Anthony, I never did you any
harm ; I am young ; I am a girl. Don't
kill me, Anthony, lake the money,
but don't kill me, for poor grandma's
suke."
"You'd tell on nie," said Anothny,
doggedly. "Likely I'd be caught. No,
I have got to kill you."
As he spoke he took his hands from
my shoulders aud clutched my throat
fiercely.
I had time to utter oue suffocating
shriek ; then I was strangling, dying,
with sparks in my eyes, aud a sound
of roaring waters in my ears, and
then
What had sprung on my assassin,
aith the swift silence of a leopard?
What had .clutched me from him, and
sUtoxJ over b.iuu with something glitter
ing mUu-v liis heart? The mist cleared
away the blurred mists that had
irathercd over inv eves; as sight re
lumed I saw the negro with his foot
upon Anthony's breast.

Tho fugitive whom I had housed
and fed had saved my life.
Ten minutes after ten minutes in
which but for that poor slave's pres
ence I would have been hurried out of
life the rattle of wheels and the tar
dy feet of old Ajax were heard with
out, nnd my grandparents were with
inc.
It is needless to say that we were
not ungrateful to our preserver; need
less, also, to tell of Anthony's punish
ment. It came out during his trial that he
had long contemplated the robbery;
that the absence of my grandparents
appearing to afford an opportunity, he
had decoyed Hannah away with a lie,
and hi I in the study. -He knew noth
ing of the negro's presence in the
house, and, being naturally supersti
tons, had actually fancied my protect
or a creature from the other world,
and submitted without a struggle.
Ijong ago so we hoard the slave, a
slave no lunger, met his wife and chil
dren beyond danger; and now that
the bonds arc broken for all in this
free land, doubtless his fears nre over,
nnd he sits beside his humble Canadian
hearth when eventide conies on.

Mr. .Cramer, a traveler from the
North of Europe, while resting in the
city of Loheiu in Arabia, was solicit
ed by a great somebody to prescribe
for his indisposition.
He recommended an emetic. The
patient recovered so rapidly the cir
eu instances spread like a prairie fire.
Everybody wanted an emetic. No
' reference was made to sickness. That
I wns of no coiisciiucttce. It was can
sidered a wonderful medicine, and,
there'orc nn lMe pc0,i0 wanted to be
vomited by the foreign Rakkim.
One day tno Emir Rahr, inspector
ot the port, sent a horse to 31 r. Crn
mer to bo doctored, which was turned
over to his Swedish servant, who had
been a farrier to a hussur ' tioop at
home. The animal was restored. That
ran through the multitude. If he
could cure horses he certainly could
cure men. Practice increased beyond
his ambition of doing any more good
nt tho expense of his own comfort or
lieu I Ih. A microscope being shown
the Emir, ho was unitized nt tlio en
larged size of insects under the instru
ment. His highness explained tn 111
attendant; of tho court that insects in
Europe were very large, while tnose
of their own blessed country were
small.
Next, the Emir wns entertained by
u peep through a telescope which was
minus ono glass, so that objects ap
peared inverted. Looking at a woman
nt a distance hardly visible by the un
assisted eye, although a ruler, a dwel
ler in a palace and owned camels,
slaves, controlled an army, and stocked
a harem with beauties ot an countries,
he could uot for the life nf him under
stand why she stood on her head; aud,
above all, it was a mystery not a pas
sage in the Koran could clear up why
her clothes didn't fall down instead of
keeping close to a her wnkler, as
though they weru nailed to a post!

A case which has happened within
two weeks rends like some of the
scenes in the novels of Eugene Sue
and Dumas, where perils in dungeon
vaults aud mysterious underground
passages frequently play their parts.
Two workmen in a New England fac
tory town went down into a long aud
de'p subterranean pussugo connected
with tho waterways of several mills,
to clear away obstructions. They were
at work a long time, at a distance from
the place ot exit, wheu one or tlicm
noticeil that the water was rising rap
idly behind them. They started to
wards the only place of escape, when,
by an unfortunate misstep, one of
them fell, dropped his lautcm, nnd
extinguished their only means of light.
Theu they weut grooping their way
along through the black darkness, the
rising water swelling up faster and
faster until it reached their armpits.
,U this time they had got to the pluco
of exit, but the wooden ladder by
which they had descended had been
carried away by the rush of water.
Their ease was new desperato, for, dur-
lag the time spent in trying to hull
the ladder, the water had risen lo
their nocks, leaving but about one foot
of space between the surfueo of the wa
ter aud the top of the vault. Just
then, whea all hope of escape seemed
to be cut off immediute death stariug
theta in the face a surge in the waters
swept the floating ladder agaiust the
shoulder of one of them. They set it
in its place, ono uf them mounted to
the 'trap" at the entrance to the vttult,
while the uther held it fast, aud in a
few seconds both were safu o:t the sur
face oj' tbo ewth, in the glad light of
day..

There has been for years in tho
Massachusetts penitentiary, serving
out a life sentence for highway robbe
ry, a man i.nmed Darling a fine look
ing fellow, and, moreover, a genius,
who, despite his imprisonment, asserts
his determination that tho world shall
yet acknowledge his power. He is a
remarkably good artist, and all of his
leisure time about an hour nnd n half
each day for eight months past has
boon devoted to a piece of work in
tended for a present to a ludy in Cam
bridge w ho has been very kind to him.
It is nn illustrated copy of Gray's Ele
gy, which he is making, printing nnu
nil, with pen and brush. The tit lo
page is exquisitely illuminated, and
all the illustrations nre as carefully
finished ns stec! engravings. rho
drawing is spirited and the w hole con
ception good. He has seized the spir
it of the poem with a cerrectnes anil
fidelity that show an eutire apprecia
tion. He is very proud of his work,
a ltd his face shines with delight when
visitors praise it.
A Reaver Falls correspondent of
tho New York World, dated Jan,
