'I AM so rhiiig through I lie I bin selvage rif ttccswliieh Dick's father Imd planted along the rondwav lieloiv his son was born. The GI d of day w heeled his chariot aloft, radiating, as only the summer sun can. the rarest tints of amber and crimson ami gold, until the purple glories, roll ing aloft like great billows, gradually arched themselves into the semblance of a gateway, through which Mary Hope caught, in fancy, glimpses of the celestial city. She eo ple in this end of the State.' The people Dick referred to receiv ed the younsr couple in a manner that made Marv Hope's cheeks glow with URR tification. H» r husband was a man universally admired, — as fine a speci men of his kind as was ever produced west of Prinsrle'S Flat. The bride, dur ing the two hours thevremained in the town, created a ripple of ta'k. There was something about Dick and his wile that made people turn to look at TH< in. When they drove AWNV, a score of friends waved irood wishes and toss ed kisses after them. 'Now for Dan's Rock.' sa'd Dirk as he (rave his m«re the r« in and cast a backward trlance at Pringle's Flat Pr< tty, is't it ?' 'Pretty !' said his wife. 'Why, Dirk, irs lovely ! SEE the lia-ht on th> church-windows; it looks as thoufrh it were really on fire. The houses are so pretty, too, the streets so wide, and there is I-uch an air of peace and com fort about it ! Why, it is like a town that has grown up in a night, it is so wonderfully clean and neat, —-just what a painter would make if be were paint ing towns to please people.' I'm frlad you like it. That reminds me; do you see that house above the church, to the left ?' 'lt looks charming, — the prettiest house there.' 'Glad von like it.' 'Why,* Dick?' 'lt's yours I bought it before I went East for you. We'll look inside of it when we return, if we have time.' That was Dick Hope's way. The drive to Dan's Reck occupied an hour. Now for a trial of your strength,' said Dick, as he tied his horse to a tree at the base of the great rock and assist ed his wife to the ground where they were to lunch. 'Must 1 climb up there, Dick?' said Mrs. Hope. 'That's the programme, — what wc c- mo out for to-day. You've heard so much of the view from Dan's hock that you want to see it for yourself Do you know you remind me now of Parthenia fetching water from the spring ?' 'Parthenia tamed her husband, didn't she, Dick ? I'm glad your mother saved me the trouble.' That was a lunch Marv Hope often recalled in after-vears. Dick persisted in forcing all kinds of dainties upon her, 'lrish fashion,' as she said after ward. It was the first time she hn<- him to herself in the glad day with n« curious eyes to peer on them, and sh< subjected her lord and master in her turn to such straits that he PI ad I» cried (piits as ho put his hair out of hi eyes arid viewed his tormentor. Then I hev slowly mounted the mas sive heap called Dan's Rock Such A view ! A sweep of forty miles in OIK direct ion. ea*t, and almost as grand >■ view to the west. Dick sat down anrl handed his wifi the J/III*SOK as he lighted a fresh cigar : 'Do you see that hill away off to tin left there?' 'Hasn't it a curious shape ?' 'That's where the wind cmiies from Thev manufacture it rp there.' 'What do you mean, Dick ?' 'There's a valley back there that ex tends full forty miles northwest, when you come to prairie-hind like ours bad of Priuglu'A Flat, only there is tee times more of it. The wind roll* down the valley and plays the very deuo with things on the river about tin Po'iit. Sometimes it rains, and then you'd think tin heavens •voreemptying All the water in the valley sweeps dowi below us here, fills the valley where it narrows there like the neck ol a bottle, and then — lookout fortroubh I saw it once : that is all 1 want to see.' •IH it so awful, Dick V 'lt is really awful, Mary.' 'And now it looks like— like the plains of EGYPT. I can't conceive of anything disturbing the perfect peace of this Ijcatitiful scene. See that cloud away <iek 'Look at I'ringle'sFl t, Dick.' ' Pretty, isn't it V 'There is not a leaf stirring, one would think. It look* so restful over there! It might lie a deserted village.' 'lt darn look unusually »|tiiet, now I notice it. Hut then this sun is terrible. See if you can find our bouac over there, Mary.' There was a long silence, then the young wife gleefully pointed out the house, and there was another long si lence, which w as broken by Mrs. Hope saying suddenly. 'What is that curious sound I hear?' I hear nothing.' 'There ! Do you hear it now ?' Dick inclined an ear. They were fairly clear of the rough land at thebise of Dan's Rock now. and the mare was trotting rapidly. Suddenly her driver's firm hand brought her upon her haunch es Dick listened intently His wife was right: her ears were keener than his. There icos something in the air. At that instant Mary's hand clutch ed his arm convulsively as she cried out, 'Oh, Dick, what is that back of us?' She was looking back with horror stricken eyes and pale iins. Dick turned. A cloud like a black mass was lushing down on them: it seemed to Dick Hope's eyes as black as ink. An awful fear possessed him. There was a hu<»h, a stillness, in the air as chilling as the terrible cloud be hind them. 'Go 'long!' he exclaimed desperately, cutting the mare fiercely with his whip. The mare shot out like on arrow, and at that moment another sou d smote their ears,—a sound that w. s like the crash of worlds. The mare plunged, reared, then resumed her onward course. Her owner had lost all control over her. But one thought animated Dick Hope as he clasped his wife with bis right arm. while he held fast to the reins with his left hand, shutting his teeth like a vise. That thought was. 'Pray God we reach the river-bottom !' The earth groaned under their feet. A sound like tie ru< teeth, so to spenk, tossed them aside, ami pursued its path. Where i.hey were lying the water wus so shoal hai it scarcely covered them. Dick sat up and spoke to his wife, ut she did n<>t answer. Then he put lie hand up involuntarily, in a weak, oelpless way. There was blood on his face; he could not see; h's eyes were till of sand. He struck himself in dt pair, and, again grasping his wife, -aid in a hoarse voice, 'You are not hud, Murv V Whether it was the water from the iver lie dashed into bis face or the gush ■if tears that cinne into his eyes, Dick loes not know to this day, but sudden v bis eyes became clear, and he could c his wife lying with her face next him and the water washing her long niir over her breast. He lilted her up. ile felt her IniiKis, her cheeks.

FaMing for Fo-!y-Seven Dai/s With the Deliberate Pur/tose of End ing Ilcr Life. IOWA CITV, lowa, April 12.—Mis9 Huttie Deuell, whose remarkable fast has attracted wide-spread attention, died ou Sunday night. Her friends and relatives, who had for some time been momentarily expecting her death, were «t her bedside. In the morning her pulse was ini|>erceptible and her respir ation tbirtv-five to the minute. She had not drank any water during the la.-t twenty-four hi>urs. as it seemed to make her sick After her last drink of water sue complained of nausea. Even in the morning she evinced considerable strength and was able to communicate with her friends by means of her fingers and a stick. She even reached out and opened a small drawer in a bureau which stood near her bed. She WBP not hungry and did not want any thing to eat, and answered bovb ques tions negatively. She had been in a comatose condition all night, but in the morning her mental powers were clear and unaffected, and she seemed to fully comprehend all that was going on about her. Her last mouientß were very peaceful, and surrounded by friends and relatives, who had done so much for her, she sank gradually into the sleep that knows no waking. Wbeu Miss Deuell died she had been fasting for forty-seven days. She was 52 years old and had long been a member of the family of her brother-in law, Dr. B 11. Aylworth. She had been an invalid for many years, suffer ing > easeless pain from neuralgia and nervous diseases, which made life a constant torture and driving her at length to the stem resolve to end an existence which promised no allevia tion for her torments. Though her conduct had long been peculiar her ac quaintances never deemed her insane. Her will was strong, ns is proved by the fact 'hat from November, 1879, till within a few days ago she had never uttered a word, though no impairment of her vocal organs existed. Duiing her period of silence she only commu nicated with her friends by writing and no reasoning or entreaty could induce her to speak a word. She ate no break fast on the 23d of February, and when a tnemberof her family asked her why she had not eaten she replied by writing on a slate : 'I have no hope of recovery and am determined to die.' All her family, friends and her pas tor, Kev. Mr. Folsom. of the Presbyte rian Church, used all their powers of persuasion in vain to induce the lady to change her resolve. She was inflex ible. A proposition to use force in in troducing food ioto her stomach was, after full consideration, abandoned, from the belief-that if that course should tie taken it would only drive ber into some other method of self-destruction. After the first week she asked ber brother-in-law if drinking water would prolong her life. He replied that it Bhe did not drink probably fever and deli rium would set in and that taking wa ter would not sustain her life. After that time she drank from time to time » each tiny a little water, but except that nothing else passed her lips. .Miss Deuell was buried this after noon. Immediately after death a post mortem examination was made by Dr. Cow|H»rthwaite, dean of the homce pathie department of the University. Not a drop of blood was found in the body, which weighed forty-five pounds. The stomach was also entirely void of any substance. No further particulars have yet been made public.
