It lightsupa Freedom's will;
For, boy, the God of Freedom blessed

..THE DETECTIVE'S STORY.
BY AMY RANDOLPH:
It was a dull, rainy day, towards the
end of AUgupt-Fope , of;th,ogie gays when
earth and sky alike tlie'gray'and dreary,'
and the rain-drops pattering against the
windo*Sound like. human, sobs. The
clock that hung dgainst the wall point
ed to the hour of three in the afternoon,
and I was sitting by myself in our little
inner office, lociking out at the expanse
of dull, gray wall that formed my only
prospect from the not over-clean win
dowS„ and thinking. I had read ever '
s9uare inch of type in the newspapers;
I h4d made out all the necessary paper
and documents, and now with, literally
"ndthing to do," I was •musing alien
Kitty Elton, and wondering how lon
it would be before I should be able t
marry her.
Dear little Litty! she was' swee
and patient as it was in the '-nature o
woman to be, but I knew it was a har
life for her in that over-crowded milli
ner's work-room, day after day an
month after month, and I longed to se
her free from the monotonous captivity
She was a pretty, blueeyedgiri,oftwen
ty, with a dimple in her' chin, and th
sweetest roses on her cheeks that eve,
inspired the pen of poet. I was so poor
yet I think I understood and appecil
ated all her womanly grace and delicate
beauty as'fully as-if my heart'sthoughtS
could shape themselves into verse. And
it was of them,l was thinking when,tne
door opened, and Mr. Qlenner came in.
Mr Milner was our "eidef"—a dark,
,silent little man, with a - square, stern
mouth and colored. gray eyes, wmch
aPpeared almost expressionless when
they were turned .full upon you, and;
yet which seemed, to see everything at'
one comprehensive glance. Heat
down.beside me. ;
"Meredith," he said, in the quiet,
subdued tone that was natural to him,'
"diditlt you say you were getting tired
of doing nothing •
' • • •
"Yes, sir."
.."Well, I have something now for you
to' . do:"
"What is it, sir ?"
"Something that will bring you both
credit and • fritinds, •if you manage it
skillfully: I had intended togo myself,
but circumstances happened untoward
ly, and I shall send you instead."
,Bending his head towards me and
speaking scarcely above a 'whisper, die
told me the special business on which I
was to be sent. • Theretad been, there
seems, very heavy forgeries lately com
mitted, with a boldness .and audacity
that fairly`seemed to set the authorities
at defiance; for some tithe he bad been

as I knocked. at the door, a. clock some. ,
where,inelde struck seven.
. A -decent-looking, elderly woman in
widow's weeds came to the door.• '
Mls Mr. Matteson .in ? Mr. Perley?"
t,‘,`No,',",she answered quickly, with,
as.l Imagined, rather. a.. confused, look.
I didnot believe her and asked, quiet,
,
~A4 W hen do you expect him home?',;
.."Not at present."
- Apparently : she expected I would go
away, bpt, instead, I stepped, in.
"Mother," asked a soft voice at . the
head of the stairs, , "who is. it?" , •
And. hen for the first time I becauie,
awarelhat some one bad been watching
oureollonny from the head of the stairkir-- ,
a young girl dressed likeithe mother in
deep black, with ,very ,brilliant
and a profusion' of. Jet-black , ringlets.,

"Percy is not, p.t home," • She said,
hurriedly. "ReiNtras gone away. We

Evidently the mother and daughter,
were in. Ur, :secret of Matteson!s vii-
lathy., and, doing their , : best to • screen.
him froter its„consequence. ,My, heart ,
bled for both of:them ;. but it was /14
time fdtvindulge lin sentimental pity.
Speaking 'es briefly. as I could, I told
them that it was my duty to compel
them to remain where they,Were, while
I searched the house; „r ; .;; •. -
Mrs., Matteson sat. down pale ! and,
trembling; her daughter colored• high.
• "Mother,'?. ,she said,, "why do you
stand by and listen to.such slander? It
is false! Let this Man search, the_ house
if he will; my brother Perely is 'Us. in r ,
nneent as I am,". .
•
No ,opposition . was offered to my
search. ,- It was entirely fruitless, how-
ever; there were nowhere truces of, the
flown bird.' : Nevertheless I concluded
to remain there quietly aday or two,
to see:what a fittlg waiting w,ouid!bri»g
forth.:. ~,,- -. .. ~,,- 1, -, „
The samelafternoon. Clara - A atteson
came'in, and I sat by .tbe .piaz .a win
dow, keeping a quiet watch on 1 all -the
surroundings:: ( . - • 7 „.. ; ,
"1114 Meredith,":shesaid, softly, "mo
ther-thinks I have been. very rude to
you. ' She ,says it is not your fault,
personally, that you are sent, here,, on—
on such , a- mistake,- and- perhaps, she is
right. lam very sorry if I have hurt
your feelings."
The pretty, penitent - way in N - vhich
she spoke quite won my heart, and a
few questions on. my part seemed to
unlock the hidden recesses, of her confi
dence. _ She talked ..at first shyly, but
afterwards with moxe asSuranee, of her
self the absent brother auddher mother,
giving me -a thousand artless , little
family details which I ,almost dreaded
to hear. - That twilight talk was one ,Of
the pleaeants. episodes of by my no
means universally pleasant, life, and I'
was considerably annoyed hen it was
broken in upon by - the arrival of' the
Drownville constables who were to
watch through the night. e At thesound
of their: footsteps on the piazza flour
Clara rose up and sat down again, con
fused and frightened. •

"you shall 'a t m) way ,be 'annoyed by
them. Your privacy shall not be bro
ken in upon, believe me."-• '
•"I know am silly," faltered Clara,
"but oh! it seems so dreadful 1" • 1 •
My orders to the men were brief ' and
succinct. I stationed them as seemed
best to me, and then returned to spend
the evening with Miss Matteson. And
when I was at length left alone, I could
not help thinking—God 'forgiVe me—
how much more winning and graceful
she was than Kitty Elton.
At length an ansWer'eameAck by re
port to Mr. Clenner,it Was short and
to the purpose:
"Come back. - Yon are only losing
time. If the bird .has flown we must
looli elsewhere for him." •
I read the brief missive' with a pang,
Clara Matteson's cheek deepened in
color as.' announced my departure to
her. •
"You have been far kinder than we
dared to hope, Mr; Meredith," §he said,
as I held her hand in mine.
"You will think something of -me
Clara.?"
The reader will easily perceive how
our intimacy had progressed.. • .S4e
Smiled, hung her' head, and taking a
pair of Scissors from the table, severed
one bright black curl fro M' the abund
ant tresses that lititipt*V6i her forehead.
"Keep this ; Mr. Meredith, in memory
of me."
Was I foolish to press the jetty ring
let to my lips ere Ilaid it closely against
my heart. Clara evidently' ( thought I
was---for she laughed,• bit did not seem
displeased.
Mr. Clenner seemed annoyed when
got back to the Bureau—rather an Un
reasonable proceeding; on his part, for I
had certainly done all that • man could
do, under the circumstances. -. • . , •
"We have been 'mistaken all the way
through, it seems," he said , biting his
lip. "Strange,—very Strange•Hl never
was mistaken before 'limy calculations,
Well, we must try again."
I went to Kitty' Elton's that night.
She received me With' a Sy,re.et, shygiad
ness of welcome, that should'have .made
me the happiest man in all the world;
but it did not. Clara Mattesou's dark
beauty seemed to stand between me and
her like a visible barrier., When I took
leave, there were, tears 14,40/ bine eyes,
.
"Kitty, you are ; crying !". .
"Because you are chaledi: 'Edward.
You do not love me as We l as you did.."
"Kitty, what'nonsense ."
. I was vexed with her, simply becauSe
I knew her accusatiun wastrue.-But I
kissed her once More, and feel: my
leave, moody and dissatisfied.

For reply he opened the door of the
private inner apartment, hisown special
sanctum. A slight boyish figure leaned
against the window emokingacigarette,,
with black curls-tossed back fiom a mar
ble white brow, and brilliant eyes. ' He
mockingly inclined his head as I stared

faniiliar to me. •

voice, , •`.`Clara Matteson, or.Perly Matte

Mr. Clenner closed the door. • •
"Never Mind, my boy; it will be a
lesson to you," he said, laughing;

- "What'a double-dyed fooll had been

'T went to tctuytind.toldsher the whi3fe

faithful little creature loved me just
as Well as ever.
"I won't - be jealous of 'Perly Matte

ever I might be of his sister. ; And,
dearest, don't be discouraged. I'll wait
as' long as you please, and you will be
seoend Mr. Clenner yet!" ' • ,
She was determined•to look upon the
bright side of things, this little Kitty of
mine! But I feltthemortification none
the less keenly, although, as Mr. Clen
nor said, it would undoubtedly prove a
good lesson to me.
Perly Matteson's girlish beauty is
eclipsed in Stap's Prison now—nor do
I pity him. The stake for Which he
played was high—and he lost ! •
. All about Meerschaum
11'HAT IS IT i-WIIERE FOLESD-110W COLORED
This !trtiele, which,is so much este-Pin

isn'hydrated silicate of magnesia, but
asthe compound is not crystaline its
constituents are variable, and silicate of
iron: and alumina occur with it ; these
affeet 'the color of the meerschaum,
which, when pure, is quite white. The
presence of silicate of iron imparts a
tint varying from yelloW to deep IN own.
Good meerschaum is soft and yields

having been melted. The fracture i§
usually earthy, seldom conchoidal. The
state of Saggeration is so variable as to
give rise to various densities—some
kinds sink in water, others float on its
surface. 2 Those of medium density are
preferred by the pipe maker, the light
varietieSare porous and even cavernous,
and the heavier kinds are often! made
.up artificially. Most of the meerschaum
is from Asia Minor. It is dug -princi
pally in the peninsula of Natoli, near
the town of Coniah, but it is alsd found
iu Spain and Greece. The articles found
lb those sections, however, are of a
veinous nature, and' are not used in
manufacturing. It is oxported in the

may contain various defects, such as
different minerals diffused through it;
also a hard variety of meerschatim,
called by manufacturers chalks (kreid
enmassen), which occasions much diffi
culty in the carving. In some cases the
meerschaum isloughly fashioned into
bowls on the spot where the material is
dug, and they are more elegantly carved
in Europe. • Vienna is celebrated for
this Manufacture. ' 'ln 'forming 'a bowl

wax, oil, and fats. The wax and oil
absorbed by the_meerschaum are'tlie

the heat of the burning tobacco causes
the wax and fatty 'substances to pass
through the stages, of dry distillation,
and becoming associated' with the pro
ducts Of the instillation of the tobacco,
are diffused through the 'substance of
the bowl, - and produce those gradations
of tint which are so much prized. In
some cases the bowls are artificially
stained by dipping them before being
soaked in wax in, a solution•of sulphate
of iron , either alone or mixed with
dragon's blood.
I In Austria alone more than five thou

Mr. and Mrs.- Smith's Headaches—A
Lesson for Somebody
"Such 'a heidache as I havel" groan
e Smith, as he entered the breakfast
rOom, with his hair rumbled, his chest
collapsed; and his back rounded out in
the shape ,of the letter C. " Such a
headache!" .1-.1 - '
• " PerhapS it was the cake you ate, be

as she? tired the coffee. '
r
"Ca : ? there's nothinif More 'whole

dropping into a chair.
Mrs. Smith, feeling indisposed at that
rnatitutinal houil for an argument, as
sented. . •

" Try a little tek" suggested she.
" Tea !:an t old mard's remedy ; no tea

. .
M .s. Smith had it on her tongue's
end o say ; .
" Veil, that is the usual result of a
nigi t of it;" 4 but she closed her teeth
and it Off the exasperating and truth
ful rejoinder.
" Isn't this room awful hot ?" asked
Smith, opening six doors, without wait
ing for? her reply, whieb, if uttered,
would have been that she was shivering
with the draughtg
- Then seating himself at the table:--=
i'..l think. I wilipave tea, Airs. Smith;
it. will be sure to,upset or
. .eure me ;,it
don't matter whifh," he adds, with a
despairing groan ; " and I inhy as well
eat :a pieee otC , i 4 7, beefsteak,' whilq. I'm
about it—' in toi' a penny, in ifor a
pound ;' oh dear'!" ' •
"I think I'll 'come and sit iii your
room, Mary,?" sail) Smith to his wile
after the tea and taeaklast htid gone
down. "Yt looks nice and pleasant
here, and I like to stay with you when
I have the headache.'
Mary ;turifed • her back, that he need
not see , the smile lurking round her
mouth at the conclusion of his sentence,
and brotight a pillow to the sofa for liis
disorganized head. • t
• " Not that—no, not that ; it will only
heat myhead, oh, dear !' Mary, (solemn
ly,) do you know I think I made a mis
take in eating that beefsteak ?"
Mary, with a heroism which should
place her name in "Fox's Book of Mar
tyrs," did not reply :
" I knew it at the time, Smith,
"and
mr only chance of preventing you frOm
eating, was to refrain from asking you
not to eat ; so I didn't say so."
" MarY," said Smith, as she seated
herself to sewing, "Don't you think I
should feel better if I had ajug of boil
ing water at my feet ?"
" Perhaps you would," said Mary,
dropping her spools and thimble and
buttons on the floor to hunt i up the jug
and hot water herself,. for Smith had
the opinion that , a wife4hould attend
personally to these things, although
three great servants might sit sueltini;
their thumbs in the kitchen and cook
ing their heels on the range.
Perhaps you would."
" Mary,"•asked Smith, after this ar
rangement was carried out. " don't you
think this bottle mightte pushed a lit
tle closer? I don't _feel it, except on
one foot." "
" Yes;" said Mary, dropping her work
once more: "Is that right?"
• " Oh;yes," answered - Smith, rolling
his left eye in eestacyois thq heat pene
trated the soles orNms feet 'how nice
it is to have you round when I inn
sick." •
The• same funny look came again
round the corners of Mary's mouth, but
Smith, bless his obtuse soul, didn't see
" Mary;" said Smith, " I think I
could g 0 to sleep now if you would close
those curtains and things and carry
that d d bird doWn stairs, and shut
out the light."
•- " Yes," said Mary, " and I'll taliJ my
sewing in ; the next room." ;
"Do," said Smith. ,
And gathering , up her work-basket
and Smith's pants, that had several vi
-tal buttons missing, and which he wish
ed replaced, Mary departed.
'"" Mary," said Smith, suddenly' ap
pearing at the door of the room where
she had' seated herself, with 'his hair
rampant, and blanket shawl sticking to
his back, "" it's no uke. I don't feel
bit better.. I'm sure I don'tknow what
to do. Do you really think it was the
eake?"
Mary's patience was waning. ‘4
knoW it, John—it always • makes ye
sick: - Don't you recollect I
.asked yo
not to eat it tit the time?" •
"Well, all T can say is, " said • Smith,
" T don't believe ' it. Oh dear, where
are the morningpapers?" •• ' •
That was another way of asking Mary
to read theaeto him, which she . did,•and
without saYing, as Smith did on similar
occasions:
." Oh, tl:
___, there's nothing in the •ptipers
this morning but 'the same old tariff
discussions ; in fact, they are quite dull
—here• they are—pqrhaps you can pick
out something for:yourself. '
. . _
.131essed he the Lord ! At twelve,
Sniith sank into the•arms of Morpheus,
acid slept tillqhree ; but alas ! waking,
•begged , for his wife and a washbewl.—
Both were forthcoming, as also the ex
.peeted result. The rest of the day, till
dark, the blinds were opened and shut ;
the bottleof hot water on and oil' duty,
and Mrs. Smith stayed byte see him be
sick: About seven in the evening' he
despairingly signified his wish to retire,
adding :
"I suppose, of
.coufse; you don't feel
sleepy at all ?"
"N-o," said Mary, looking front ie
window at alo•Vely moon that was just
" N-o. notvery."
. "Well," said Smith ; " don't come, if
you don't want to, but I can't sit up any
longer, and I have an idea I shall get to
sleep." •
So Mary went to bed with her beard
ed baby.
A week had elapsed: Smith was hi
good' health and spirits. He could
smoke. The world wasn't a charnel
house, after all. Mary was flat on her
back with a nervous headache. '
" Sick ?" asked Smith.
" Shocking pain in my temples," said
Mary.
" What a pity!" answered Smith, par
ing his nails at the "window, without
turning his head. "It's •going to
,be
such a lovely day—quite dike spring.
Have you the least idea where my gray
pantzi are?"
"No," said,Mary, faintly, feeling for
the pillows„ think, in the closet."
"So—strange," said Smith, "about
those gray pants ; I don't think they've
worn very well—do you ? And do you

":My head aches so bad," said Mary,

i' in sorry for yon," said Smith,
tying' hi",s cravat at the glass. The very
hest thing for you is to keep quiet, and
l'll,take myself out of the, way. Bleep
is the thing for you." So Smith put en
his Jfeaviost pair of hoots, and went all
'over the house, and let the doors bang,
and whistled the ," Stars and Stripes,"
antl,ate his breakfast, arid then came up
to, her to discuss the reiipeetive elaitns of

," No better ?" asked Smith, reproach
ftillyt six o'clock that evening ?
"thoughtyoUld he well, certainly, by this'
tirpe;_afti3r a day's quiet." Quiet? She
had had the whole kitchen retinue aft
er her all day, asking more questions
than there are in the assembly's catech
ism ; and the front door bell ringing. as
if• by order of the fire department •, but
she had said nothing at all about that ;
if she had, Sthith "would have replied
with that lordly wave of -his hand with
which men dispose of such matters ;
" You shouldn't allow such trifles
trouble you."- -
.

"No better, than ?" Smith inquired„ s ,,.
as if in gratitude to him he really de, .
served a modification. of her fOrmer re- •-•:
ply—" no better-? Well, slep . p,iafter all,
is the best thing; and, as I can't do
anything- for you, I think it is such a
lovely night that I will stroll out awhile.
There, there," patting the end of the
blanket "go to sleep now;" And, close
upon his retiring heels she heard the N.
thundering bang of the front dok.
After divers and many comparisons
between male and female headaches,
anti the seeming. incongruity in -the
male mind of the same course of treat
ment for bbth, Mrs. Smith felt asleep,
to be woke about twelve by Smith, who
thtnnped up stairs in his boots,, made a
raid after the cork:serew in the closet,
and a particular tumbler of a particular
shape, he wanted in connection with
it; and advised her again as tolhe effic
ietteyof sleep, in cases of female head
aehe 1: then tilled the house with the -
nauseating- fumes of tobacco, at an hour
when it was impossible to air it. Then
—Smith went to bed, and slept thesleep
of the just, with not a glimmering of an
idea that he was not the unselfishesf
and lovingest of husbands. Indeed,
had his wife questioned it, he wo'uld
have pointed her to that column in the
daily papers, where accounts are given
of husbands who make it a practice to
crack their-wives' skulls once a week ;
and placing ills arms akimbo with a
stern look, would have asked her with
his nose close to her face : . .
" What if she had such a-husband as
that ?"
The Bottom of the Sea
'Tr in vest igations go to show that the
roaring waves and the mightiest bil
lows of the ocean repose, not upon hard
or troubled beds, but upon cushions of
still NV111.01'; that everywhere at the bot
tom of the deep sea the solid ribs of - the
earth are protected, as with a garment ;
from the abrading action orits currents;
that -the cradle of its restless waves is
lined by a stream of water at rest, or so
nearly at rest that it can neither wear
nor move the slightest bit of drift that
once lodges there. The uniform aP
pearanee of these microscopic shell% ,
and tlui almost total absence anion g
them of; any sediment from the sea er
foreign matter, suggests most forcibly -
the idea of perteet repose at the bottom
of the s "a. Sonic of , the specimens are
as pure and es free from sea sand 'as the
fresh fallen snow flake is from thedhst
of the earth. Indeed, these so,undings -
almost prove that the sea, like the anew- -
cloud with- its flakes in a calm, is al
ways letting fall upon h its bed shadows
of these minute shells ; and we may
readily imagine that the wrecks which
strew its bottom are; in the process of ,
ages, hidden under this fleecy covering,
presenting- the rounded appearances.
which is seen over thb body of the trav
eler who has perished in the snow •
storm. The ocean, ,especially within
and near the tropics, swarms with life.
The remains of myriads of moving
things are cerveyed by currents, and
scattered and lodged in the course of
time all over its bottom. This process,•
continued for 'ages, has covered the
depths of the ocean as wit c h_ a mantle,
consisting of,,organisms as delicate as •
hoar-frost, and as light in' the water as
down in the air. The tooth of running ,
water is Very-sharp.. See how the Ni
agara has cutiits way through layer after
layer of solid rock. But what is Niag
ara, with all the fresh water courses of
the world, by the side of the great cur
rents. of (wean? And what is the press
ure o water upon river beds in compar- '
ison with the pressure of ocean water
upon the bottom of - the sea? it Is not
so great by contrast as the gutters in the
_streets are to the cataract. Then why
have.not the currents' of the sea worn
its bottom away? Simply beeause they
have not been perinitted to get down to
it.—All the Year Round.

Our• Wilkesbarre friend, Walker,
went to a dutel tailor and had his mea

gave directions 'to have them madelarge
and full. Walker is a heavy man and
likes his clothes loose, and when he
came to try on the new unmentionables
found that they stuck tight to his legs,
whereat he thus remonstrated : "I told
you to • make these pants full.", After
some objurgatory expressions of 'a pro=
lane nature,•the tailor ended the contro
versy. by deelairing, "I dink.•dese pants
