NOT GUILTY.
In the Spring of IS— I was ( - died to
Jackson, Alabama, to attend court, hav•
ing been engaged to defend a yonng man
who had been acensed,of robbing the
mail. The stolen big had hrrn recov
ered; as well .as the IQ4AOI, trout which
the money had been milled. Tilr,e let-
tern were given Tll9 fur my examination,
and I returned them- tMthe
attorney. Having got through toy pre
liminaries -about noon, and as the ennui
would not come oil before the next day,
I went into the court in the afternoon,
to see what was going on. TO first
case that came up was one of theft., and
the rtrietoner was a young girl n o t. more
than seventeen years of age, named
Elizabeth Medworth. She was very
pretty, and .bore that mild, innocent,
look which is seldom found in a, culprit.
She had been Weeping profusely, but as
she ftOnd so many eyes uj e her she be_
came too much frightened to weep any
more.
The complaint against her set forth
that she had stolen I sloo from a Mrs.
Nasby, tufa as the case went on I found
that this Mrs. Nasby, a wealthy widow
living in the town, was the gill's mis
tress. The poor girl declared her in
nocence in the wildest terms, but ei rcu in
stalies were hard igainst•hei•. A hun
dred dollars in bank notes had been
stolen from her Mistress's room, , And SIM
was the only one who had access there.
At this juncture, when the mistress
was up on the witness stand, a young
muM came in and caught me by the arm.
"They tell me you are a very tine
lawyer," he whispered.
"I am a lawyer," I said.
"Then save her! You csrtaiely cam
do it, fur she is innocent."
"
has she no counsel r • I asked.
" None "that is good for anything—no
body that will do anything for her. Oh,
save her, and I will give you all that I
have got, I can't give you much—but I
eau raise something."
I retinae(' a moment. I cast my eyes
toward the prisoner, and she was at that
mu neat looking at me. She caught my
eye, and the volume of entreaty I read
in her glance resolved me in a moment.
I arose and went to the girl, and asked
if she wished me to defend her.
,said yes. I then informed the court
that I was ready to enter the caws, and
was admitted at once. The loud mur
murs of sattsPaction that ran through
the crowd told me where the sympathies
of the people were. I Milted for a mo
ment's cessation, that I might speak to
my client. I went and gat down by her
niti, and asked hor to state candidly
the whole case. She told me she had
lived with Mrs. Nasky neatly two years,
and had never had atik , ltiouble before.
About two weeks ago, she said her mis
tress had missed a hundred-dollitrs.
" She missed it front her drawer," the
girl said to me, "and asked me about it.
That evening I know Naney - liuther fidd
Mrs. ntsliy that she saw me take the
money from the drawer—that she
watehed'ma through the key hole. - Thou
they went to my trunk and found
twenty-live dollars of the missing money
there. But, sir, I never took it ; some
body must havo puttt there."
I then asked her if she suspected any
one.
"I don't know," she said, " who
could have done it° but Nancy. She' has
nosier liked me, because she thought I
was better treated than sho. She is the
cook. I was the chambermaid.", -
She pointed Nancy Luther out to me.
She was a stout, bold-faced girl, some
where about five and twority years old,
with a low forehead smalloyes, a pug
nose,, and thick lips, I
_, caught her
glance at once, as it rested on the fair
young 'prisoner, and the moment.-1 . -„
tooted the look of hatred which I read.
there, I was : CoilVineed that she was
rogue.
"Nancy 'Author, did you say the girl's'
name was ?" I asked, for it new light
had broken in upon me.
Yes, sir.".
I loft the court room and went to the
prosecuting attorney and asked him for
the letters I had landed him—the ones
that had been stolen ft:Om the mail-bag.
Ile gave them to me, and having selected
ono I returned the rest, nint told him
I would see he had the ono I kept before
night. •
Mrs. Nasby rammed her testimony.
She said oho intrusted We room to the
prisoner's care, and no ono oleo had
acme thorolovio hersolr. .Then sho
do
scribed
,dbout 'the iniAing 'money, and
019sed by tolling how she found twenty
'five dollars in the prisoner's 'trunk. She
'eould swear. that it wah — the 'identical
money sho had lost,lin two bins and ono
five dollar:note. -
"Mrs., says I, " When you
first missed the money, had you any rea
son to holieve that the prisoner had taken

"No,
Mrs. Nasby d:ft the stand, and Nancy
Luther took her place. She came up
With a bold front, and cast a • defiant
look upon me, as if to say : "Trap mo
if you can." She thou gave her evidence
as follows :
She said that on the night that the
money was taken she saw the prisoner
go up stairs, and from the shy manner
in which she, winkt up, she suspected
that all was not right, so she folic-km'
her " Enz. drith went. to, Mrs. Nas

I stooped down and looked through the
keyhole, and slce, her take the money
and put it in lice pocket. Then she
stooped down and picked up the lamp,
and as I saw she was coming out I bur-
lied away."
- Then she wont on, and told how she
informed her mistress of this, and how
she proposed to search the girl's trunk.
I called?ifts. Nasky back.
" ton said that no ono save yourself
has access to the room," I said. "Now
couldn't Nancy Luther have entered the
room if she wished

else had any right there."

she ll.ir dwelling was not, far off,

four receipts, which I took and exam
ined. They wore sighed in a sating,
staggering hand, by the witness:,
"Now, Nanc'y Luther," I said, turn

staril tug tone, at -the fl - one time
looking her sternly in the eye, " please
tell the court, and jury When: you got the
seventy-live dollars you :font in your
letter to hulr sister in Somers?"
At this she started as though a volcano
had burst at her foot., She turned pale
as death, and every limb shook violently.
I..vNited until the people:could have an
opportunity to see her emotion, and then
I repeated the question„
"I—never—sent—any," she grasped.
," You did I" I thruidered, for I was
excited. _

"clay it please your honor and gon

for robbing the mail, and in the course -
"of my preliminary .examination I had,
access to the letters which had bethi torn

The case was given to the jury im
mediately following their examination
of the letter. They had heard from the
witness's own mouth that she had no
money other own, and Without leaving
their seats they returned a verdict of
"Not Guilty.'l
I will not describe the scone that
followed, but if - Nancy Luther had not
been immediately arrested for the theft

TuE SMOKERS.
The great tobacco controversy con
tinuos to agitate Great Britian. The
Dublin University Magazine for Septem
bOakes up the subject, saying by way
of ';'llP - Ology, "Our desk, is littered with
books relating to tobacco," One thing
seems - to bo sufficiently evident : Few
habits are more exlionsive than the
habit of smoking. Tobacco is shown by
official figures to cost more than bread
in Oermany, llollnnd, the 'United 'States,
and England. The total'expenditure in
the last named country in 1868 for
tobacco and snuff was e 11,08,289.
Those figures are important, but two,
things should he riimombered.-,The first
is, that all aggregates of expenditure by
to nation aril startling. It would be the
Same with the cOst'of countil's buttons

way
. serviceable. Is it? One writer
sa3's that it is not. It is a poison. ." It
may call henbane, - he says ; "cousin,.
and claim kinship " with belladonna."
But even this fact is not conclusive,
because there is poison in broad or in
most other articles of food. It is unde
niable that there is poison in to bacco,
but it is not a poison which acts'rapidly
and fatally, and it is only in individual
cases that it acts perceptibly at all.
'However, if the use of tobacco does Pro-
duce morbid affections of the body, it is
well that everybody should know it—

Now let it be distinctly understood
that the 11,e of tobacco produces lOC ?IMO

pressive name, this must be a frightful

that, "lecomotorotaxy" means no more

IVAucrlutio, February 1, 187:3
MESSRS. EDITORS :--liesu'rning whets
I left off last week, I have to aay that
.I:[lzch's tavoro, indicated to the traveler
by the sign of the lamb, was one of Car
lisle's' most reputable- hostelries. Mr.
Ulrich himself, in his best days, was a
valuable citizen and a useful public serv
ant. As a host, he spread a bountiful
table, and order ruled in his household.
J.lis family were above the average in
character ; Mrs. liliich being a landlady
of great notability, and - her daughters,
young ladies of uncommon excellence.
At no public house iu Carlisle did trans
ient lodger or permanent guest find
more comfortable quarks.
Among Mr. Ulrich's boarders, used to
he a jolly midshipman, familiarly called
"Jack" by his intimates, with - a sur
name equally suggestive of the sea. He
spent a long furlough in Carlisle, and
during his stay made many friends. He
was a felloW of infinite jest, and was
liked by every one ; and no wonder, for
a more genial, jovial gentleman, never
trod a quarter-deck or—to use one of
his own phrases—"doubled the Capo of
Good Horn in the Month of Juvember."
It used to be pleasant on a Summer
evening, to sit on the broad bench in
front of Mr. Ulrich's, and liken to the
two Bayloya, father and son, advertising
their proficiency as teacher and pupil,
in the art and science of music. The
elder Mr. Bayley's specialty was the
Kent Bugle, . though he taught
on other instruments, and was a com
plete band master, having served in that
capacity in Prridve's famous military
school. His son William, who was then
but a boy, played on the picolo flute.
He has since become master of many in
struments and a Unions musician, ex
celling his father both as performer and
teacher.
Mr. Ulrich used to give Sunday 'sour
crout dinners, which were quite .cele
brated in their day, and to which a fow
select outsiders wore sometimes invited.
Thu savory dish, flanked by unctuous
pieces of chine, and served smoking hot,
was declared by the gourmand; food fit
for the gods, and too good for mortals
wlni could not appreciate it. Albeit,
not an especially digestible dish, it was
considered perfectly harmless, when
floated through by the yin die pays,
known in common p.trlance av Motion
galtela whiskey.
In front of Mr. Ulrich's, on market
mornings, there officiated an, old public
functionary, of the name of Thomas
James, whose business it vl , as, as town
crier, to kuock. r .flonin pots and pans and_
old chairs to the highest bidder. llia
manner of ringing,.his bell—accompany
lug eaelt stroke with an inward " knock"
of his right knee —u.iod to,be occasion of
:mirth and. 'matter of imitation to idle
boys. - - Mr. James left as a legacy to the
town, three children, the youngest of
whom was a flue stalwart_ looking
fellow,.', and the othar twO wore such
.woll.known public characters, that to
speak or them flora would be super
fluous.
Opposite Me. LlMeh's, diagonally on
the loft, were the house and store of Mr.
James Bredin, 'a gentleman who pros.
pored in his moroAntile pursuits and
bought valuablo town lots ; among them
the celebrated apple and peach orchard,
of the 'thou lately deceased, Mr. John
Craver. This , orchard, was situated
about a quarter of n mile east of BAT._
rack's Lane, and was celebrated in its
day for the abundance and excellendo of
its fruit„ TIM pualli troes were largo
and healthy; And bore a heavy annual
mop for many successive years.
At the roar of Mr. Ilredin's and back
of the house once occupied byr
Doctor Gustins' lived , for a
while, and kept shop, a man who had
a sotiambitiMis to be a fifer. Whether
it was from-sheer hivo of the instrument,
or from a desire tonmulato Jim;Vogt, and

110 was a, co-tomporary,.. and .
a while, a rival' of Mr. - Thomas OM
cer, , though/ I believe -he never
reached , the celebrity attained
by that gifted young artist. Mr. Offi
cer, by, the way, was one of - the, last
miniature painters of any eminence pro..
duced by this country—the daguerreo
type and photographer having come in
to sweep.away the entire profession.
North of Mr., Smith's, on the west side
of the square, stood a little brick build
lug which, at the time I am thinking of,
was occupied as a Doctor's office, by ono
of the most talented and kind-hearted
men that- ever, nr-that region at least,
graced the medical profession. As a
gentleman, Dr. Alfred Foster had no
superiors ; as-a physician, there was but
oue_othis associates who wag equal.
He was withal, a man of varied infor
mation and extensive reading,.;" I have
just finished this," ho said ono day, ;
holding up Vol. XIV of the Encyclo
pedia Americana, and lam .sorry it
has come to an end. I hay& read every
volume as it came out, and it has
afforded me-a deal of entertainment."
North of Dr. Foster's office, at the
corner, was the house of Mr. Jack
Miller, a quiet gentleman, who dealt in
hardware, and whose honriehokl, con
stituted a branch of ono of tub oldest
and-most respectable family confections
in Genial°.
Opposite Mr. Ulrich's, diagonally to
the North, stood the old Episcopal'
church, in which Dr. Campbell, aftAr
wards Mr. Woodruff; and-after him the
Rev. Professor Spencer, officiated as rec
tor. It was a forlorn old structure, in
strong contrast with the well-propor
tioned and massive edifice worshipped in
by the Presbyterians, and showed how
feeble most have been the church of Eng
land element in that part of King George's
dominio'ss, when Pennsylvania was yet
a colony. After the resuscitation of the
College, the church, under the auspices
of err. Spencer, took a fresh btart, and
erected a new :building, which; though .
not a model of architecture, was a groat
improvement on the shapeless old pile
Which it superseded.
Opposite Dr. Campbell's church, on
the same diagonal' line, was a three-.
storied brick, owned by the Carlisle
Bank, and occupied Piucknoy,
the cashier, who, it will be.remembered,
preceded in that office, Mr. Andrew Mc-
Dowell. When Mr. Pinekiley and his
family moved back to Baßimer . % which
they did after a short stay, the 4welling,
parker. the building was occupied by
Mrs. Hunt as •a holtrding
.house. Here .
Professor Vetbako stopped wbo ho first
°mho to town, and hero sojourned dur
ing his 'brief career as minister of the
Episcopal , church, the lamented young
Woodruff.
Opposite the bank; in " Galbraith's
corner," old Mr. Speck, sometimes called
Doc tor Speck, kept an apothecary shop.
Back of this in the dwelling part of the
building lived Mrs: Galbraith, a lady
venerable alike in character and years,
with a genettology running back into the
early annals of the.county, our lf f amily
with which are connected sor, 'if the
brightest names of State.
Passing from Mrs: GalbraitleJ north
westwardly, we come to Carothers's
corner, the. stage office and chief pub
lic house of the town. Though a sunny
nook it used to be shaded by
. a row of
locust trees, under which, on any fine
day, might be fopnd a group of Car-
lisle's moo of leisure—a class' which iu
number, and devotedness to their call
ing, was not exceeded by that t,f any
town of twice the size, north of Mason's
and Dixon's line.
Mr. Carothers's house was thastopping
place for distinguished travelers, and'
hero it was that Mr. and Miss.Olark, the
celebrated dwarfs of 0 fifty years ago,
made their home while giving concerts
in the town. They were charming.
singers and their concerts, which
were given in the County..thill,ivill be
well remembered by some of your read
ers. The. duel) of "Sandy and Jenny"
which they introduced nud popularized,
was all the rage for awhile after they
left, and the tune of it, years after
wards, used to lie reproduced by " Tom
Watts" and "Math Alexander" when
those - two worthies happened to ' . meet,
which they often did, at :the Meeting
House pump. As whistlers, rinn and
Roub had no peers.
When Mr. Carothers retired,from pub-
lie life, the good will and custom of his
stand were transferred to his brother-in
law, Mr. Jamo - s Bell, who had taken.tho
house provionsly,.occupied by-. Pogle, at
the corner of Main amt Pitt streets.
The earothers'S prOperty passed intoithe
.hands of Mr. Thos. C. Lane,lind-Wac
by him used as a. store for the sale of
dry goods and grocories Mr. Lane
was a gentleman of high tone, aria was
asSisted in his business by clerks and
-salesmen, of corresponding characier:
The four oetitions of the square, around
which I have been making a circuit,
were separated from each otherand from
the streets by rows of posts of about 4,1-
feet.in height and 8 or 9 InChesin (Berne ,
tor, rounded at the top and painted white.
The object of Oen) posts; judged on the
Josh Billings 'principle of the 'uses to
whieh.they w i ero put, seems hardly suffi
cient to have justified the 0.K1131130, "
mewl," says Mr. Billings " has four fogs,
tow to stand onto and tow to kick with."
Eio those_ posts had two 'uses, one for men
to lean against and the other for boys to
jump over, and certainly no eqUal num—
ber of posts ever sorynd a town in thei) ,

"Resuming my -ramble up the street,
the 'first building above Mr. Miller's was
the. tailor-shop of 'Mr. Corm - Lek•Mc-

There was another old citizen of
the same family name Mr. CharleS
_ McManusi_who..osuilt_the_OoneThOuse
on East street, and whose name
bearing the date 1800, may be seen
handsomely engraved on a slab over the
front door, but they were not related.
--These- two gentlemen were at the
head of the small religious' . society
.toNwhieh they belonged, vi and of which,
they` at that time, the 'most
intelligent representatives.
,Next to the shop of Mr, McManus
was another, which, when I fist knew
it was "run" by a man rejoicing in the
name of John Pfarrengaren, who used to
shave his customers in the morning, and
then sit down inside of his open' door,
and amuse himself and the boys outside
by playing_ with cup and ball. Mr.
Pfarreugaren was succeeded by Mr. John
Peck, one of-the old vicinities of Carlisle,
who in complexion might be said to take
the shine off the '"ace of spades." Mr.
Peck was, in his day, one of the best and
blackest of men. It used to be common
in the early days of anti-slavery, for op
ponents of that cause, to ascribe all merit
in a- colored man to the admixture of
white blood, but John Peck was a stand
ing. refutation of this sophism. He- was
a negro of pure African descent, with
qualities of character which the proudest
Anglo-Saxon might have envied.
Next above the barber shop was the
housUand store of Mr. Archibald Loudon,

the very kind old gentleman who used
to give such a big piece of "liquorish"
for a cent ; a great deal bigger piece
than could be got for that money, either
at Dr. Speck's or Dr. Fahnestock's. And
I remember hint last, as the very learned
old gentleman who gave us for our
winter- evenings' reading, the " Indian
Wars," the first book with leather cov
ers I had ever road, and the most
interesting and ~ 'wonderful book,
as I then believed, that ever was pub

THE GERMAN EMPIRE.
'rho establishment of the' German
Empire dittos from tho -eigliteonth -of
January,
.1871, and it is consequently
the youngest of the great powors ou
earth. --
The .German Empire is a confedera
tion of twenty-five States. It comprises
four lt ingdoms (Prussia, Bavaria, Sax
ony and Wurtemborg, six Grand Duch
ies, live Duchies, • seven Principalities
and three Republics. The latter, which
are usually called the free cities, are
Lubeck, Bremen and Hamburg. Be
aides these, Alsace and Lorraine, the
newly-acquired territories, are direct de
pendencies of the Gorman Empire, and
are administered by a Gcivernor. It was
formerly believed that republics only
wore to able form a compact federal gov
ernment, but the successful organiza ,
tion of the Gorman Emniie refutes thief
argument.
The German Empire is inhabited by
forty millions of people. • With the ex
ception of about 1,500,000 Poles in East
ern Prussia, 100,000,Danes in Northern
Schleswig, and about 200,000 French in
Alsace and Lorraine, the population
.consists - entirely Germans. "By far
the largest State is Prussia, which hes a
population of 24,000,000 ; next conies
Bavaria with 4,800,000, Saxony "with 2,- .
40000, ,and Wurtomberg with 1,800-
000. The aggregate population of the
other twenty States is about 5,500,000.
The population of Alsace and Lorraine,
according to theTrenoli census Of 1808,
is nearly 1,500,000.
The Ger Man Empire has 9,016, goo
graphical square miles: Its area is con
sequently • considerably smaller than
that of European Russia, which has 100,-
265 s,quare miles, and it is also smaller
than the Austrian__Empire,. which. Ant.
'braces 10,780 square Miles, and it is Only,
a little larger than. Erauco (0,588 square

THE D ESERT ED DRIP Eoli 0 OM:
" Well," old fellow, "what do you
think of her?"
, Mr. Olney Gardiner leaned4ux.uriously
back in his easy chair, and lighted a
cigar before ho answered the eager ques
tion put by Grove llfilton.
He was a slender, handsome young
fellow, with blue eyes, Apollo-like fea
tures, and a feminine delicacy of, com
pleziouri while Milton, 181 s. regularly
handsome, was yet taller, and more
manly, and striking-looking, in the Arm
mould of brow and chin, and the deep,
smouldering light. f bright, hazel-dark
eyes.
"She's very pretty," was his calm
and mild reply. a. 0,
" Pretty I" echoed Milton, half-dis
posed to be ("trended.
" Beautiful, then, if you will. ..Yes, I
think she is•beautiful, with no ordinary
style of loveliness. Will that content
you, you grasping felloW?"
"And you will consent to oflleiate as
my groomsman?"
" Certainly - if you Wish it."
While Mr. Milton and Olney Gardiner,
his friend, were thus talking in their
luxurious quarters on the' third floor of
Rosstninster Hotel,. Clara Miner, in her
room below, was taking the gilt hair
pins out of her tresses, and "comparing
notes" after very much the same fashion
with her widowed sister, Mrs. McDer
mott.'
Nonsense,": cried the latter, petal
lantly. " Grove is worth a dozen faint
ants like Olney Gardiner."
Clara looked languidly up.
Golden haired, lin sapphire blue
eyes, and dimpleslitaing away on peach
soft cheeks, she was as. lovely as the
sirens of fabled song, and her voice was
correspondent to her face, flute-line and
deliciously modulated. • •
"I don't deny that," she answered,
calmly. " I only say that lie Is very
handsome. Grove showed bud 'taste in
selecting a groomsman Iyhoso personal
appearance was so much superior to his
own."
" Clara !" cried Mrs. McDermott, who
- vaS an impulsive, warm-hearted little
personage, " I never spoke so when 1
was engaged to Froward. You don't act
at all like a person who is in love„"
"I know I'm not sentimental," Clara
responded, yawning ; " but somehow the
romantic °lenient was left out in my
make up. not r;. , sponsible for it,
am I r
And Mr 4. MonOrnioet bit hor lips, and
wont hor way, somotly thinking Grove
Milton fi great deal too gdod for calm,
icy Clara.
" I am so glad yuu liko him, Clara."
It was M. Milton 'Who spoke, and
Clara did not answer until she had
adjusted the folds of her lase scarf.
" Yes; he seems to be very pleasant.
He has asked ine to drive to the park
With Gin), this afternoon. Have YOU any
objections 2"
"Objections, Clara ant perfectly
delighted that you and he should be
friends."
And Gr'uve Milton 'fficant it from the
very bottom of his heart.
"I know I'm a littlo inclined to be
stnpidland common-place," said honest
Grove, "and it is quite natural that
Clara should'enjoy the society
,itif a pol
ished and intellectual per3on like Gardi
ner, who has written hooks nod under
stands all her woman notions."'
It was two days beTore that which had

"Juliet,"—his face brightened as he
set down his carpet bag on the stairs—
"just look bore, and see what I taco
bropght home for her. Do you think
oho will like it?"
I•lo drew front his breast a 'sin dl vel
vot,case, liUed with the softest amethyst
Silk, and opened it, so that Mrs. McDer
mott could see the glitter of a little
pearl crdss, suspended to a heel:lnce of
larger pearls.
"How pale you look," he cried, gaily,
as ho glanced up. "Is it the reflection
of the pearls f" . •
"Oh, Grove Grove !", cried Mrs. Mos
Doimott, clasping herhands convulsively
together, "holy can I ever toll you ?

"Where have they gone?" he asked,

"To Canada," Mrs. McDermott an

"By what train ?"
"They loft hero at twelvo o'clock,
Grove," as ho glanced at his watch.
"You do not intend to follow them ?"
"I.shall follow them to the world's
ondbeyond it, into the hlaelcin;s,

"Grove," pleaded Mrs. MeDetopotl,
laying one trembling hand on his arm,
"do not go ! Yon will .do something
which you will regret for a lifetime." .
"I don't know what I shall do," he
answered, moodily, as he shook off the
clinging grasp. "I only Arnow tbmtwl
must follow them—that I' must meet
Olney Gardiner face to' face, and tear
Clara away .from his false and cruel
arms."
And he broke from the terrified ivoirriii
before she could recover her voice to
argue further
'• Grove !;' she called put wildly.
, ,But ho was' gone.
"Got mo a carriage, somebody ; drive
me to the Montreal Express I" she cried,
throwing on'her shawl. " I will stop
Lim yet !"
But there were unavoidable, delays ;
and when at last the jaded horses drag
ged the hack up alongside of the railway
platform, the official's gilt buttons stared
Placidly at her, and answered her eager
questions by the 'composed reply—
" Montreal Express, mum Cone
these ten minutes?"
knd so het• journey was all in vain
Grove Milton - sat leaning back in the
corner of the car, his hat pulled over his
eyes, his arms folded on his breast, as
the express train sped on through purple
twilight—and fields all scented with
summer's bloom and fragrance.
Ali, how widely at variance with his
own - ill - Oughts and feelings was the sweet
key-note of nature ! Would he over
appreciate its tender cadence again ?
IL5w slowly the moment:: dragged
along—how impatiently his heart throb
bed—and all the while, underlying it at
all, the fevered. burning ofrsbis brain
seemed es if it would drive him mad.
Suddenly the train grow to a gradua
pause—people after their fashion, a.
such a season as this, rushed to the fret].
platform.
" What are we stopping for'."' caller
out Milton, impatiently,, putting his hear ,
out of the car window.
`Accident ahead, sirl--morning train
ran oil a culvert !" answered a brake
man, who was running past.
Grove Milton sprang from the ear, ant
pushing past the indheihninate eiowd,
cashed to the scene of disaster.
It was a lovely spot, belted on either
side by masses of phi() woods, while a
culvert crossed a wide, although a some
what shallow stream, which meandered
through the valley .bellow—a scene
whose sylvan beauty was marred just
now, by wreck, ruin, death and disaster.
They had telegraphed for assistance,
but it had not yet arrived, and' this sec
ond train was a signal help and aid, and
was welcomed by all.
But Grove Milton hurried post the
splintered cars and broken rails, looking
only for two faces. !' •
"Fate itself is pitied un in sido," lie
told himself, with a thrill of triumph.
But the two faces were not there
" Aro you looking for friends, sir?"
asked a kindly old gentleman, who was
rendering all the assistance in his ppwor.
"They have placed the dead in the foi.e
