II, mamma! mamma' Come out quick ; it'i on ! look at it, papa isn't it beautiful?' and in the exuberance of excitement Milh Patterson squeezec John's arm tightly while she leanec Ofrainst him auc looked eagerly into the sky. Old man Putterson, who btood neai the young people, also h:i;l his fm-t turned upward; but there was no in dication of plee in his voice when, af ter gazing for a few minntes, he re marked : "And to think thai them things, with such beautiful tails, could do us any harm !" There was no response to this re mark, save a loud sigh from Mr3. Pat terson, who turned round abruptly and walked into the house, where Mr. Tut terson soon followed her. Milly and John were still standi np and gazing at the heavens. They had not said a word to each other ; the; were happy in the consciousness of their proximity. "I don't believe a word of it dc you?" asked Jlilly some minutes after wards. "What?" "Oh, what Schoolmaster Marten says about this er comet that's going to break np the earth and kill all the people on it and annihilate everything. I don't believe it do you?" "Bosh!" remarked John emphatic ally. "I think Marten is a slick fraud, that's what he is !" ho added, holding his arm tightly round Milly's waist. "It's awful !" said Milly concernedly. "He's been coming here every day for the last couple of weeks talking about that comet, and he's dinned into papa and mamma's heads that the whole world is comin to an end, and that we ore nigh the day of judgment I" "Kubbihh !" commented John. "And he's been talking at me, tea, the hypocrite, telling me to mend my ways and not to be so piddy. As if I am ever giddy, John ! " she added iD an injured tone. John did not reply for a second or two. He seemed to be thinking. " 'Pears to me," he 6aid, after n while, "that your father ought to know by this time what kind of a customer he's got to deal with. Has Marten paid him back the fifty dollars be borrowed last Christmas?" "Ko, not he." "Why don't you tell your father not to take any stock in Marten?" "It's no use, John. He's wheedled them round completely to his side. It's perfectly awful how he's talked them into things about this comet. They've been glum and mopin, and packin' away things; and mother's been buryin' a lot of silver in tho garden " "What !" interrupted John. "The old folks haven't been hidin' things in the ground and let Marten know of it?" "Yes. He's shown them the very place where he says the comet won' strike, and mother's put a lot of silver spoons in it." "The fox! JHe's been stealin' them I" exclaimed John. Millio sprang to her feet and ran into the garden, John following her. She stopped near a slight mound of fresh clay in which two sticks wero firmly stuck and which she began to probe gently. "Thank goodness, it's not touched !" sho said with a sigh of relief, evidently satisfied with her examination. "You nearly took my breath away with fright, John. Mamma would go crazy if she were 60 fooled." "I tell yoa what I'll do, Milly," he said. "You keep a sharp watch on this place, and if Marten turns up to morrow keep him till I get through work. I'll come over here, and we'll lee whether we can't fix him some low." ' In truth it was terrible as Milly ex pressed it, if half the things were go ing to happen which Marten predicted. He whole village of Stockborough wal terribly excited over the event. Every body recollected that wars, pesti lence, famine, and other calamities followed the pr6:-"ua appearand af a comet . like this with slraost the identical tail. Sohoolmastei Marten talked about such nncannj things as the "stellary system," th eosmio law," and so on.

Bui Marten's superior loquaciousness wat rapidly getting the best of him and he was gradually drawn into the meshes oi reason. Thut was all the schoolmaster wanted. He could reason a bull into a fro n:iv ilav, if the animal only fol io ed tiin process of logical deductions ; 10 by and by John found himself lis tening with his hands folded, his rea- ton silenced, and more than half con linced of the probability of the whole thing. "And ye say it'll all take place on Thursday at 5 :31 p. m. ?" asked thi pld man. Marten had not said it, buf lie answered: "Precisely. The unerring calcula aon of science." "Maybe it'll only strike one corne. ot the earth and leave out Stockbor feugh and the farm?" he asked timidly igain. "That is difficult to say," repliei Uarten, thoughtfully. "Our whole planet is sure to sustain a terrible ihock, and it will be felt all the world sver. There is a chance a small ;hance that we might escape with oui lives here; but everything else if loomed. " That night John and Milly wert locked in a long embrace before they took leave of each other. They were both heavily oppressed, and though fohn entertained a sneaking scepticism jf the whole thing, he really believed ;hat before the end of the week the :orth might be a broken waste, witb lobody and nothing alive on it. 4You will come over on Thursday, John, won't you?" asked Milly in a irembling voice. "We can die to gether, if we can't live together, can't are, John?" "I'll be here, Milly, by 4 o'clock, mil God may prove him yet a liar ou see if lie don 1 1 said John as he (vent oil. About a quarter past five on the fol lowing Thursday they all left the old Patterson farmhouse. They were go ing to give np their souls to heaven, nd they walked on in solemn silence. It was preternaturally quiet all around them. The gloaming was rapidly fall ing, and it seemed to the old folks as f it were the precursor of eternal dark ness. The group halted near a cluster of, frees. Marten held out his watch i there was ten minutes more left them The old people stood there glum and motionless. John and Milly had locked) tiands and looked pale. Marten tolil them to lie down flat on their stomach 4 ind hide their faces in the ground till She thing was over. Tremblingly, fearfully, they obeyed, tnd luy Hat on tho ground, dreading -,o stir, awaiting the sounds of the aw ful crash. Marten retired to anothei spot, whence he said he would signal :hem to rise if they were destined tc nirvive. Ten minutes passed ; a quarter of an iour followed, and still they lay therej tt was growing darker ; they were get-t :ing chilled to tho bones ; their teeth Degan to chatter, and still no signal Tom the schoolmaster, no sound of ;he crashing doom. Half an hour sassed, and then fearfully, cautiously, jld man Patterson began to move hij lead. Gradually he raised it ami .ooked round. Everything was still, leathly still. It was dark, but he :ould see the farmhouse clearly. Then le suddenly thought that he alone had rarvived the general destruction he ind the farmhouse. A terror crept ver him that he would have to end lis days alone and in darkness. "Wish I had died with 'eml" he rroaned aloud. But he looked round and saw his x-ife's head rising, and suddenly her terrified face looked at him. The next noment he saw in her eye a glance of ecognition. bo they were both alive I "Milly I Milly 1" called the old man amidly. "Yes, father? come a trembling re ply. Are ye living? he asked again. "I am, father. Is John alive?" "Yes, Milly," came the emphatic re- jly from John, who sat np on the ground. They were all sitting up now. "The farmhouse is there, too," saiJ 4Irs.

A NEW LEASE Of LIFE. I.V GOOD HEALTH AT SKVE.NTT T1IKEE IKAB1 OF AGE. Miss Cornwall' Wonderful ltcOTery ol Jlealth Urea mo Well In Two Months Alter an Illness of His Tear. From the Register, Xeto Haven, Conn. Ia this rapid age of o-.irs when so many men and women are old at fifty, one who has lived three-quarters of a century, and then, after debility and suffering, regains health and vigor, must be regarded with a feeling akin to wonder. A Jfew England lady has been found who has had this re markable experience. In the family ot Clarence Williams, a Che shire larmer on the Meriden road, Cheshire, Ct., lives Miss Cornelia Cornwall, a lady seventy-three years of age. For several years Miss Cornwall's heallh has been de clining very rapidly, cauwd by a general de bility. Her friends feared that the respectel la-ly had not long to live; but a kind Provi dence directed the aged lady, and in a news paper advertisement Miw Cornwall lead about Dr. Williams' Tiuk Tills a fewboxe9 of which she procured at once, and with the result that is best told in her own words. "About six years ago," Miss Cornwall be gnn, "my health commenced to fail. I suf fered from loss of appetite and pains in dif ferent parts of my body. My condition gradually grew worso until mv limbs were apparently unable to bear my weight, and I could no longer go up stairs without theas siMitnce of some one. 'I consulted phvsicians who prescribe-, medicines for my blood. These I continued to take for several months, but without any effect. The sense of feeling in my lower limbs seemed to be leaving me, and I began to fear that it was hopeless to look for a cure. I was still suffering terribly from the pains through my body, when I chanced to read the story of a cure that had been effected with the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pa!e Teople. I discovered thut tho town druggist nere had none on sale, so I sent Immediately to the headquarters in Schenec tady, N. Y., and secure 1 two ot the boxes of Oiej.ilU. 'Last December I commenced using the pills regularly, and a month after I had been taking them, I felt greatly benellted by their use. Tho feeling in my limbs came back igain, anil in two months I was able to go ibout the house a I had been accustomed to i year before. Now, as you can see. I am snjoying good health. The pallor in my lace was removed by the pills. A number ! my friends in the neighborhood were com plaining of symptoms somewhat similar tc my own, and I recommended that they tak Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They did so, auc they tell me that they have been very much oenetlted by their use. 1 still contintio tc lake tho pills, though there U not so much necessity for them at present.

"It seems absurd o me that persons should suddenly liscover that many articles of food ipon which onr ancestors lived to a ;reen old age are extremely detri mental to health and longevity. I lave never considered what I ought to t, but I have made it a rule of my ife to always leave the table wanting nst a little more. "I did not leave the home roof, rhich was on a farm, until I was learly thirty years old, and it was my tabit from November to April to eat a liece of mince pie every night just be bre going to bod.

Economy ot a Hllk Diet. Aside from the physiological eon iderations the economy of a milk diet is not the least among its advantages, is compared with beef. In the for mer there is no bone, as in meat, nor waste in trimmings, and, thongh the amount of bone in meat varies it is rarely less than eight per cent. in the neck and brisket of beef, for in stance, it is abont ten per cent., while in the shins and legs it amounts to one-third or even one-half the total weight. Again, milk requires no Booking, hence is always ready for consumption at a moment's notice, snd without being subjected to waste and shrinkage. The ordinary per centage of loss in boiling beef ia twen ty per cent. ; in baking, twenty-nine per cent., and the roasting process in rolves fully thirty-one per cent ; true, this loss arises partly from the evapo ration of water, as well as the melting iown and escape of fat, and the lestrnotive action of heat whatever loss, however, is thna occasioned, has bo counterpart in milk. .Boston Voir Ihwingi , - - - cumors FACTS.

A correspondent assures us that he never knew that It was possible for an Innkeeper to be too accommodating to his guests until he went down to Nova Scotia recently, and put up at a pleas- nnt little hotel In the country. The landlord of this hotel laid it down as one of his principles of action to give people a little more than they asked for to be "extra accommodating," as he termed It The landlord brilliantly Illustrated his adherence to this principle the very morning after our correspondent's ar rival at the hotel. The guests had to 'go away on the seven o'clock train that morning, and asked the proprietor to call him at six. The guest went to sleep In the calm assurance that he should be aroused at the proper hour. He seemed hardly to have fallen Into a sound sleep when he heard a terrific pounding at his door. He sprang up, wide awake. "What's the matter?" he called out "Four o'clock! Four o'clockT' came the landlord's voice the other side of th door; "two hours more to sleep!" It Is needless to say that tho guest slept no more that morning. The land lord's anxiety to be "extra accommo dating" failed of Its mark that time. DrusUla "I hear you are poor.

The worshipers at the Church of the Ascension in Auburn, I. L, had a novel experience one Sunday after noon. The professional hymn had been sung, tbe white-robed young clenzvman bad finished h s exhorta tion to tho "dearly beloved breth'en," the responses were over, and prayers commenced when a tardy arishioner arrived. As he walked down the aisle he did not notice that he was followed by a companion. When the Dirishioner stopped and bowed his head in prayer his companion con tinued Its demure tread onward to ward the chancel. Once or twice it noDDed as the organ sounded the "aniens," but when progress was re sumed the course was still onward. Br a nimble lean the wanderer (andei on tbe platform leading to the ;bancel, and there revealed itself as tigcr-striped kitten about six months old. The kitten's and the clergyman's eyes met. The ht:rri tied clergyman with great effort cont n ued to read on, while the uncon cerned kitten, with tail erect and pars pricked, ga ed on him with in terest Giving him a wink she passed ;n to the chancel, entered the sanc tuary, and with a bound reached the nl tar. Hut content with this she eaped to tbe bishop's chair and then et about adjusting herself to the surroundings by washing her face The sound of the clergyman's voice. nowever, s.eiuea irresistible to her, una, jumping over the brass chancel rail, she leaped to tbe seat in front of the reading desk at which he was Kneeling. With the do e of the col lect, "Lighten Our Darkness," the choir, the congregation still kneel ing, sang an antheai. This interval gave the dominie his coveted oppor tunity to make a lunge for the cat. I'uss was happily purring eryloud, but, seeing the attempt on her lib erty, a nimble jump saved her lrom the clergyman's grasp. W.th tbe close of the anthem came tho resumption of prayers and also the renewed perambulations of pussy. Mie remounted the seat be hind the clergyman, and to his hor ror be felt her gently te&ting tbe sta bility of his robe, apparently feeling her ground for a lean. Tbe only place to leap was the clergyman's back. The kitten eyed her victim critically and was about to leap when she was startled by the terrific yelD of a dog which bad somehow got into the choir stall. Tbe kitten now turned her atten lion to the organ, and peeping around. saw her enemy. Her enemy saw her at tbe same time. Each gazed in tently in an apparent effort to hypno tize the other, but the experiment was cut short by the dog. who, with a leap and yelp, made for the cat and but for the vigorous scrambling of the bassos the two would bae bad an argument In full view of tho clergyman and congregation. The dog was held and the cat van ished Just as the swelling sound of the final "arueu" brought the wor Rhipers from their knees, many of whom were entirely ignorant ot the fearful ordeal through which their pastor bad gone during the space of ten minutes of prayer. Napo'eou as a Horseman. Napoleon was a most cruel horse man, and changed his mount f re cently during battle. At Waterloo, however, be rode only tbe famous Marengo." Another celebrated war horse of the great Corslcan was iVusterlitz.' Napoleon always In sisted that his horse should 1 e white or gray. Twelve were killed under him. ile was once carried quite ithin the enemy's lines, where he narrowly escaped capture, by a mad charger. Kapoleon's runaway, it is ouly fair to confess, wa caused by a crrible wound that goaded the poor steed to uncontrollable madness. Men lose their beads from pain; why may not a h;rse? i'or a dumb combatant of unqual lied savagery we must go to the camp f those master's of warfare the French of .Napoleon's day. One of the Etnreror's aides, Capt. de Mor- liot, owned a mare named "Lizette," noted in peace or war for viciousnes9 under certain ro vocation.; . -;w Once, with her master on her oa-k. she was surrounde I by Russians. A huge grenadier made a lunge at Mar- botwith his bayonet, but Ll.ette dis patched him with tigerish ferocity, using only her teeth. Afterward she backed off, clearing with her iron heels a space among the Russians pressing on her Hanks, then wheeled. dragging down to death beneath her hoofs an ollicer as she did so and dartng through the astonished crowd to a p ace of safety In that brief encounter she killed two Russ ians out-right and cripled several I oUiers witb her heels, and it all came from a cruel bayonet thrust that aroused all the poor creature's latent frency. A Few Observations. A widower with seven children stands a better show matrimonially than a widow with one. A good young man in town found a verso in the Hlble to repeat as a proposal of marriage to bis girl, and ha found a verse in which to accept. Such good people miss lots of fun. If a poor family has a rough wood en bench out in the yard, it is usual ly crowded with children having a good time, but in rich men's yards, the fancy : ettces and rustic chairs are never occupied. It is said of a girl who never has any beaux that in tbe evening she lights pieces of punk and fastens them to the porch. Any one driving past concludes that she is surround ed by young men smoking cigais. Atchison Globe. Making Cloth Water-Proof. A correspondent asks for a recipe for Making cloth water-proof. There is surely no better method than putting half a pound of sugar of lead and hall pound of alum in a pail of soft water, stirring it often nntil it becomes clear, nnnrinff it off into another pail, and putting the cloth or garment into it, to remain there for twenty-f onr hours. rhe material should then be hung np lo dry without wringing. It is said that garments thus treated will keep the wearer absolutely dry in the heavi est rainstorm ; the rain simply hangs in globules npon the cloth. Water- oroof cloth is more healthy to wear than rubber goods. Chicago Becord. Be Wis Forelven. She Have you ever loved another? He Tea, of course. Did yon think I'd practice on a nice girl like yon?

The man who knows the least shows t the most. The man who leans on his blessings cannot walk straight. The easiest thing for a fool to do is ;o tell how little he knows. A mistake is apt to attract more at ntion to us than a virtue. A watch and a man to be any good nnst have some "go" to them. Good fortune sometimes comes tons n a very shabby-looking carriage. Tho man goes to bed tired who ipends the day looking for an easy place. Who knows how to measure tbe size f a lie and to tell whether it is big or ittle? It is a singular fact that the blnnt nan is apt to make the most cutting 'emarks. Only those whose sense of duty is tbnormally developed love all their elatives. The follow who makes the most .rouble for the average man is inside his own coat. The best and cheapest thing the vorld has ever known is charity, and ret how few possess it. The man who has no confidence in tvomanhood is utterly unworthy of the :onfidence of womankind. Hatred always injures the one who harbors it far more than it does the une against whom it is directed. If the world owes you a living it will never pay you the debt unless you hustle around and collect it. If you will honestly try to mend four own faults you will have little lime to find fault with other people. The hornet, like the gossip, would not be such a bad thing to have about if it wasn't for the sting in its tail. Drying Damp Shoes. One of the most fertile resources of eolils and serious incidental ailments is the wearing of damp shoes. When shoes have been saturated with water the attempt to dry them by exposing them before a stove or fire is obviously damaging to the leather, while it docs not insure the expuVsion of moisture from the inside. For accomplishing this a new invention has been "brought out, consisting of a hollow stoneware last, which can be filled with hot (rater like a bottle and which is made in a variety of shapes and sizes to cor respond to tho inside of ordinnry shoes. The hole at the top of the last is corked as soon as the hot water has been poured in. The last is kept in position nntil the inside of the shoe is thoroughly dry, and the hot water can be renewed if necessary. Chicago Becord.
