THE IJUDGE S DAUGHTER. My story seems branded into my memory in letters ,of fire It is no story conjured up by the inuagiration, nor yet one that need& glossing over by a fertile pen.

After his death it was found that be bad not been so wealthy us many had imagined, yet rich enough to leave each daughter a moderate competence. To the eldest sister descended the home stead and a sufftaicut income to keep up some of their former style ; the younger twenty thousand dollars, invested in an old and trus• ty batik. From infancy Estelle, the eldest had had been acquainted with a poor but proud spir ited boy. She had watched his ineffectual struggles for an education such as he desired admiring his unconquerable ambition, and as he neared manhood ho became her most ardent lover. But the old judge .demurred No dough• ter of his should encouin e te the attention of a pennilesi youth— mad their intimacy must sense. Obedient, as a child, she listened to her father'Lcounands, and obeyed them implic itly. He surrounded her with gay 'company ; he did everything that wealth or taste could sanest to win her away from her. boylover. Bat thou h she uttered no 'complaint, be knew that she did not forget. • •At last he died. He did "not bind her with any promises. ?erhaps _in 'death his eyes discovered that it needs more than wealth to bribg happiness'.

She 'believed her father 'must have relented, or else he would have spoken and forbidden her to re ceive him after his death. She wept and sobbed on his bosom like-a child.

'Curse my fortune that I must forever be debarred from you.' 'Don't speak so fiercely, Rupert,' she pleaded. 'No one steads between us now' 'Yes, poverty stands between us as it ever did, he replied.

Her sister married and went to California, and Estelle was left to watch and wait the the remaining three' years of his absence Ile,went• to Germany. He remained three years longer. The last- - year of his proposed absence he wrote to Estelle thus. 'My love, I do riot know hot* to say what I wish. My five years have nearly expired.

She knew no four! It would be hard for him to be away Iwo years longer, but it ha desired it, she should not complain. She bad already lent him, so great had been his extravagance, every penny of her principal. She took up her pen end thus wrote: 'Rupert, God,alone knows how much I long for you each day, bus it it is your wish to remain away two years more, do not let we deter you.

Those that knew her said her face wore the expression of- an angel. Be that as it might—her heart wore the happiness of one. She heard when the steamship arrived.— They only lived twenty miles distant—sure .he would come the next day. But the next day came, and the next, and the next, tied he came not. She saw his name among the arrivals, wits he sick? She was tempted to go down and see, when a gentlescan called upon her.

The announcement took one pang from her heart, only to add another. He was well —she thanked tied for that, tint could she have bean within twenty miles of him for a week without sending him some message/ That was all the reproach she allowed her gentle heart to wake, while she. formed a thousand excuses for his gruel neglect. Two weeks wont, past, and they numbered three.

Two years after, she was about to go down a flight of stairs, when she uttered a loud shriek, arid tell forward to the bottom. When she becanie conscious enough she said.

SNAKE HUNT IN MISSOURI.-A novel af fair recently took plane in Marion county, Mo., being no less than a snake hunt on a I.rge scale. The reptiles had become so•nn merons and so fearless of ' people, that small children were afraid to. go to eohool ; and they even attacked some adults, several hav ing been bitten on their boots, and it had been a common thing for fifty or a hundred snakes to chase men, women and children across the prairie. A party was therefore organized for their destruotion,and the snakes were surrounded and driven into a twenty. acre patch of prairie, and the outer edges of the tall grass set fire to. The grass burned well, the flames rollina ° up ten feet high; and, as the line advanced, the snakes retreated to the centre, sometimes making desperate attempts to spring through the flames, but, ttie blaze being too heavy, they were killed in the attempt. One blue-racer was nine feet four inches long, and several inches in circumference. This is the first snake story of the season. A WORD TO GIRLS —The woman who is indifferent to her looks is no true woman.
