[From the llnron (‘ounly iOhio) (‘hronlrlcj He took the evening train up from Cleveland, and in looking through the cars discovered a female sitting alone in a seat, and itinstantly occur- red to him that she might be lovely. A veil dropped over her face, but there was no reason to suppose that she wasn’t good~looking, and he gal- lantly raised his hat and sat down be- side her, remarking with a lovely smile : “ It’s lonely traveling alone.” She just murmured areply, but the accent was captivating, and he was won at the start. He was practised in all the arts of polite tactics, and spoke to her softly of this great, desolate world, with ap- ropriato allusions to human hearts. Io told her how he had hungercd and thirsted after the affection of a true heart, and had yearned to feel the breath of the heavenly flame of love. No, he sighed, he had no wife, no one to love and caress him and mend his suspenders; and when he inquir- ed if she was treading the path of life single and alone, she murmured so pensively and sad that he felt comâ€" pelled to put his arm on the back of the seat lest she should fall out. of the window-which was closed. They reached Norwalk, and just as the train stopped he heard a grating hissing sound close to his ear, and then the words: “ Yâ€"o-u villain ; you old hypocritâ€" ical s-i-n-ne-r, I’ll make you think you’ve been struck by a a breath of heavenly flame, you old owl." He looked around just far enough to get a glimpse of‘ a pair of flashing eyes and the face of his wife, who had murmured so fondly to him dur- ing the journey. A sudden spasm seized him, but he managed to accom- pany her out of the train, and as they moved into thedarkness toward their home 1101' flashing eyes lit. up his pale face with spectral effect. >‘D04 Dragged by the Stirrup. Miss Nannie Vickers, a young lady of some fifteen years of age, daughter of Mr. Jacob Vickers, living near Sacramento, California, was rid- ing a muleafewdays ago when the an- imal became frightened and ran away, throwing her from the saddle, and with her foot firmly fastened in the stirrup strap, in this terrible con- dition dragged her about a quarter of a mile, a. part of the way through a strip of woods. When the animal was at last stopped, which we are told was not until it was knocked down with a club, and the young life which but a few short moments beâ€" fore was so full of buoyant hope was almost beaten from the fair form, the relentless strap released its hold. Every particle of clothing, with the exception of her corset and dress waist was torn off, and in an uncon. cious condition she was taken home. She lingered in great agony until Saturday night last. The fune ‘al took place on Sunday last.

Mrs. Marcliniont, keeping ainotherly watch over her boarders, discovered that something was the matter. These girls were very near to her, coming as they did season after season, until mat- rimony led them out of store and away from school desk, and into homes of their own. She had enough and to spare independent of summer boarders, taking the pale, puny things and turn- ing them into rosy beauties for their sakes, not her own, although she loved the stir and flutter they made in tlic roomy house. Loved the pat of slip- pered feet, white robes among the roses, picturesque girl groups, songs on the stairs, whispers under the stars, laugh- ter along the lanes, merry banter 0n porch or croquet groundâ€"all, all were dear to her. Nay, she even hungered after them half the year while the great house stood alone with its memories. \Vhile they were with her, she wor- ried and watched over them as if they belonged to her, passing over their pomps, vanities, and little flurries of temper, because quite sure that the pair under the daisies were not faultless, and might have been just like theso had womanhood crowned their fleeting day. Every summer brought Mrs. March- inont her girls, and brought the boys after them. Marchmont house being only forty minutes rail ride from the city, inademit very convenient for their friends and lovers to drop in on Satur- day afternoon or Sunday. Besides, beaux were not a scarce article in the immediate vicinity, and were never long in discovering the attractions of the house on the hill. Something was the matterâ€"«a very serious something, tooâ€" else Mrs, or Madam Marclimont, as her girls were fond of calling her, would never have dreamed of interfering. Alicia De Forrest was winning Nettie N orWood’s lover away. Madam Marchmont was shown an anonymous letter, and, al- though strangely silent, instantly traced it to the writer. Nettie, holding its quiver of poisoned arrows close to her heart, refused all consolation. Something must be done, and that right speedily, to spare her, if possible, further suffering. Madam Marehmont resolved, and with her to resolve was to act. The girls had yawned through the whole of a rainy summer's day. After a late tea, heavy showers, with frequent flash and thunder roll, extinguished even the hope that someone would come. Several retired to their own rooms, and the remainder, abandoning every pre~ fence of - industry, turned down the lamps. Alicia, wrapping a crimson shawl about her, sought an open win- dow, where the storm breath stirred her hair, and shimmering touches made a picture of her, half gloom, half glitter. “Let’s go out into the kitchen, and get Aunt Clo to tell us another story,” - said one. ' “I wasjust thinking about asking the madam here,” chimed another. “ She hasn’t told us one yet, and I see ever so many in her eyes. Tell us, please, how you met your first husband ; RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, CANADA, that ?” Norwood’s improving voice, “he’s dead.’ “ I know it, but he wasn’t alwaysâ€"â€"’ broken up the sentence. “ Once upon a time, as story those are the names that .I mean to give them. Besides themselves, thrcc old ladies, two old gentlemen, and a sailor lad, who came and went, con» prised the family. It (loesn’t'mattcr why they came to live together, or what relation they were to each other, suffice it to say it was no very near one, although the young folks called the old people uncle and aunt, and each other cousin. Zilla was a country lass, dark-tressed, dark-eyed, pcaclien-cheek- ed. Lilla, a city maiden, yellowâ€"haired, bluceyed, fair~skinned. Zilla was quick-tempered, warmâ€"hwrtcd, jealous, impulsive. Lilla, patient, fond, trust- f'ul, self-controlled. They stood togeth- er, liand in hand, one August evening, just after sunset, watching the coming of a traveller. He was young, they agreed, though walking old, and when he bore down on them with an uninâ€" telligible shout, and a ‘ship ahoy,’ their very hearts stood still, he was so rude, so handsome. “ ‘ I beg ten thousand pardons, la~ if it was love at first sight, and all “ Why, Caddie!” spoke up Nettie dead, the giddy creature would have added, had not several interposed and books used to say,” began Madam March- mont, two young girls came to live un- der the same roof. Perhaps their pro- per names were not Zilla and Lilla, but strained over the slowly-forming buds, out of patience, and made the poor girl ’ promise not to go near the bed for two , weeks. At the expiration of that time they went to see what it told. A turn or two along the walks brought them beside it. The flowers werewide open in sunshine, and there in snowy tracery on a crimson ground stood a single nameâ€"â€"Zillai. “ ‘Dear, good Run, to want to keep it before me in flowers the summer through 1’ she cried. ‘You don’t care, of course, Lilla darling. Oh, don’tgo, I want to tell you something first. I didn’t like to let on, but I knew all the while what it was going to be.’ changed the plants 2” Mrs. Mai-climont’s hearers. “ Turn the lights lower, girls, and please don’t interrupt again. From that very moment Lilla looked as if she had had her death blow. Nothing inâ€" terested, nothing diverted her. Gen- tle, quiet, uncomplaining, she moved about like a ghostâ€"“a haunting ghost beside. Zilla was never out of her sight. Although seldom actually fol- lowing, shc seemed always watching from afar, and it was to rid herself of this uncanny guard that the girl went to visit some relatives in a distant city. In the midst of summer picnics and festivals, Zilla endeavored to drown rc- morse, and succeeded so admirably that Aunt Beulah’s stereotyped message, dies,’ he said, taking ofl‘ his cap, while every scented breath in the garden round about seemed to run and kiss his bronzod cheek. ‘ I beg ten thous- and pardons. I thought to be sure it was my old aunties watching for me. Maybe they didn’t get a letter from runaway Ran last month.’ “Such was Zilla‘s and Lilla’s first meeting with their Cousin Randolph Dornan. Coming from the old world, he yet brought a new with him, going again, he seemed to take away everyâ€" thing that made life desirable. Zilla poured out her heart’s grief, and was done with it. Lilla laid a stone over lier’s, and all the while struggled to keep the black waters down. That was the difference between them, girls. “A few months later he returned, and made a longer stay previous to embarking on a voyage that threatened to take him further from home than he had ever been before. This visit was the signal for the cui-tain’s rising on the first act of what was to prove a traâ€" gedy. Zilla loved him with all the fervor of her fitf'ul nature, Lilla, with that deep, strong adherence of soul that takes hold on life itself. “One morning as the three old aunties sat together with their knitting, Charity said, ‘ I do wish Randolph would take to one of our girls and set- tle down.’ ‘.‘ ‘ Where are your eyes I' said Aunt Tamar. ‘ Can’t you see he’s over cars in love with Zilla ?’ “ Zilla, listening at the door, writhed as if flames had struck her. Was Ran’s preference so apparent that even a half blind old woman could not mistake it? She raved and raged in her heart, afâ€" firming that if it were so, Lilla should never hear it from his lips. She would follow like a shadow, be on the alert night and day, go hungry, sleepless, uncombed, if needs be, for the sole purâ€" pose of preventing a declaration of his love. With glittering eyes, fevered cheek, and a feigned return of her first fondness for Lilla, Zilla kept her vow. “‘Girls, do you see that l” asked Ran, holding up a tiny packet ; ‘ white portulacca seeds. Got them in town yesterday. They’re said to come up in whatever shape you plant them. I’m going to try it after breakfast in Aunt Beulah’s red bed, and you’re to stay here. You mustn’t look, as the children say. This is the last of March, and I’ll be far away when they bloom, but I mean to write the name of the girl I love best in all the world, and if I go with the Tropic Bird, you’ll all know who she is long before I come back again.’ “ Meeting that deep, bright gaze, Lilla turned so pink, ncxt so pale, that there might have been an understandâ€" ing then and there, had not Zilla come between them with some poor jest caught at in her irenzy.’ “It was Ram’s last morning there, and a few minutes later Zilla clung frantically to his arm until he had kissed them all good-by, and gone out to climb the greening hills dipping down into the far-away sea, M arch winds died away before April’s soft entreating breath, May sunshine sifted through every cloud, and June roses blossomed before tiny green buds push- ed in among the sturdicr red. Every morning Zilla drew Lilla there to in- spect the delicate tracery. “ ‘ Printing capitals, Ran said , there’s double L in the centre, anyway, so it’s not Nan Farren. Don’t you think it’s double L 1’ said Zilla, on one occasion. On another she was sure L headed the line. There was an odd ring in the laughter hailing the swift red tide on Lilla’s cheeks. “ ‘ Don’t you think they’re reaching out the other way at the top ?’ asked fluttering voice. “ ‘ Yes, there is a slightirregularity, but that's to be expected. However, if it turns out an L, and that’s I next, then two more L’s and A, what does it spell l’ “ Iiilla’s replies were faint and few, but from day to day her blue eyes ‘ Lilla is no better,’ lost its power. “ During this visit, the deep interest awakened by the man she afterward married proved Zilla’s love to have been merely a girl's first passion. and left her with no excuse for the mainten- ance of her deception. “ Arriving at the old homestead after nearly three months’ absence, Aunt Charity met her with : ‘ You didn’t get my letter in time; but don’t grieve, she laid in her coffin like a babe asleep, and had a larger funeral than Jacob Farren, and everybody says he had the largest ever seen in these parts. He was buried just a week before, and Nan â€"she took it awful hardâ€"came up to me and saidâ€"’ Aunt Charity, inno- cent old soul, who never dreamed of the tragedy enacted under her very eyes, might have rambled on indefin- itely had not the ghastliness of Zilla’s face penetrated the mist of her unavail- ing tears. ‘ Don’t look so awful,’ cried the quavering voice. ‘ Zillal Why, Zilla l’ The thin old arms, stretched out protecting] y, found themselves in a grip like that of the drowning, while such accents as she had never heard in her life before rung in her ears. “ ‘ \Vlio laid in her coffin like a babe asleep ?’ “"Lilla, child, our own blighted lily; and both of you too late to see her even in her grave-clothes. WVe met landolph just as we got back yesterâ€" day. The Tropic Bird put back beâ€" causeâ€"’ “ "Randolph! Randolph l’ broke in Zilla, and her voice ascended to a shriek as she dashed from the house and sought the portulacca bed. There it lay, its crimson steeped in autumnal sunshine, the lines of that white lie startlingly distinct; but she was too late! In her frantic haste, she never heeded a figure there before her, until her hot hands, hurrying to uproot the falsehood, found themselves in a grip tight as iron, cold as steel. “Girls, I pass over Ran Dornan’s words. They were few ,' they pierced like swords, burned like red coals, and were the last that guilty creature ever heard him speak. He left the house that night never to return. One year later he was lost at sea. “It would be impossible-to depict Zilla’s remorse. For months, years, there was neither rest nor peace for her. Great was her sin, heavyifs piinâ€" ishment. Believe me, my dears, this breaking of others’ hearts and hopes is no trifling matter, although the end may not always be as tragic as my story.” Alicia drew near toward the story’s close, and stood listening with quick- coming breath and dark eyes strangely dewy. Mrs. Marchmont, watching these tokens anxiously, met her re- ward. Nettie’s head was lifted from the lounge, where it bent in heaviness of grief; a wet cheek pressed hers drenched with its rain of tears, and in- to her hand there slipped a tiny note, into her car a gentle whisper. “ It came yesterday, not very safely sealed, andâ€"andâ€"forgive me, I saw some pleasant words in it. Pardon me for keeping it so long.” A soft, warm glow crossed Mrs. Marchmont’s face as she watched this little byâ€"play, while around her buzzed the comments called forth from the party’s several members who never dreamed of the story’s having had an aim, nor saw that it had gone straight home. “ Poor Lilla, how she must have suf~ fcrcd I” said one. “ I loved her best the moment you described her.” “She reminded me of our Nettie Norwood,” added another; “and yet I can’t tell why.” \Vhile a third be- rated Zillu, and a fourth declared Ran to have been too easy. “ Something dreadful ought to have happened every day of her life.” “ My dears,” dropped in the madam's motherly voice, “ the author of Still Waters says we can tell some of the tragedies of our lives when our soul outgrows them as we outgrow old gar» until suddenly Zilla declared herself very true; you will find it to be so THE YORK HERALD PHBLISHED AT THE OFFICE Yoxus Sin, RICHMOND HitL.f ' *- Issucd \Veckly on Friday Morning. ’I’crms:â€"~0ne Dollar per Almum in Advance ._‘_.

Sudden- ly she started with a rush to the cap- tain, whom she saw standing at the wheel-house. “ For heaven’s sake, captain, put me on shore.” It was a frantic shout, and, as it came to the ears of the passengers, it alarmed them. They began to look serious, too, and rushed with one accord to hear the an- swer of the captain. He could only say : “ It is impossible, madame." “ Impossible l” shrieked Kate, impossi- ble ! Oh, my God I I-~â€"feelâ€"faint; save me, Edward, I fall.” The word was no sooner out of her mouth than the act followed. But she was very unfortunate in the selection of the place Where she fainted. There chanced to be a tub of fresh raspberries just by the wheel-houseâ€"a tub with a wide mouth -â€"in fact, a waslitub. What possessed Kate to faint into this tub of raspber- ries is more than I know. But one thing is certainâ€"she will never wear that gray silk dress again. Of course Edward was right on hand, and so was I, and so were half a dozen others. We snatched Kate from out the raspâ€" berries in a twinkling, and by dint of smelling bottles, buckets of water, conâ€" tinuous rubbing, and a flood of endear- ing epithets managed to restore her to consciousness just as the boat touched the Montreal Wharf. Edward paid for the raspberries at ten cents a quart, $5.40 ; the dress was a new one, and cost just an even $100 ,' a pair of striped Balbriggan hoseâ€"very pretty, by the wayâ€"was worth $1.50; a lace handkerchief, with an embroidered Cupid in one corner, was valued at $6, while sundry other things, such as a pair of five-button kid gloves, a light- brown cliignon, a very long bustle, &c., counted up $20 more. All these things were ruined completely, so that the ex- act cost of Kate’s faint was $l32.50. In some of the southern European countries girls are allowed by the law to get married at the tender age of twelve, and boys are authorized to commit the rash act at fourteen. In Turkey, Greece, Egypt, Portugal, the precocity of the sexes is astonish- ing to northern men and women. In Italy the legal marriageable age for women is fourteen and for men eighteen. Some of these Southern mothers, while yet in their youth, think nothing of turning out a bak- er’s dozen of inhabitants, singly and by the pair. Quadruplets are not rare in Sicily, according to statistical reports forwarded by English Con- suls to their Government, which is gathering 11p the foreign practices in order to lower the age of matri- mony in England. The Boston Globe, in speaking of Johh B. Gough, gives the following summary of the enormous amount of talk that has been done by that man: “ Up to December 31 last Mr. G‘ough had delivered his lecture on ‘ London’ 238 times; on ‘London by Night,’ 23 times; on ‘ Here and There in Great Britan,’ 73 times; on ‘ Elo- quence and Orators,’ 281 times; on ‘ Peculiar People,’ 281timos ’ on‘Fact and Fiction,’ 94 times , on ‘Habit,’ 147 times; on ‘ Curiosity,’ 98 times; on ‘Circumstances,’ 183 times; on ‘ Will It Pay?’ 145 times; on ‘Now and Then,’ 96 times; on ‘Temper- ance,’ from June, 1861, to December 31, last, 638 times. He has delivered over 7200 lectures and speeches in his life. In his work as tcmperence orator and lecturer he has traveled 405,000 miles. He has lectured in Philadelphia 108 times, in New York 304 times, and in Boston 386 times.” A man of some note in his way, and a brother, died a few days since at Saratogaâ€"Robcrt Thomson, head waiter of the Grand Union Hotel. He was a Maryland negro, full-blood- ed, Who married Jane Brent, of Can- andaigua, a fugitive slave from the environs of Washington, like himâ€" self. He leaves his Wife and daugh- tcr with about $50,000 in money and property. His son-in-law is a radâ€" uate of Harvard University, an has an $1800 clerkship in the Treasury. The power of this negro was in his business knowledge and philantro- py. He loved his race, with a. per- fect knowledge of its weakness and childishness ; he grew himself sterner and sobcrer as he realized its profli- gacy and pursuit of idle political honors; he was himself a public or- ator, and had been in the City Counâ€" cils of Washington, but he disliked office-seeking and office. Command- ing two hundred ableâ€"bodied black men, who were under his personal drill fifteen hOurs out of the twenty- four, he was inflexible, steadfast, and kept perfect work with perfect Imâ€" partiality. ' Â¥~wfiwaah . a». How to Break 011' Bad Habits. Understand the reasons why the habit is injurious. Study the sub- in your mind. Avoid the places, the persons and the thoughts that lead to the temptation. Frequent the places, associate with the persons, indulge in the thoughts that lead away from temptation. Keep busy, idleness is the strength of bad habits. Do not give up the struggle when you have broken your resolution once, twice~â€"a thousand times. That only shows how much need there is for you to strive. When you have broken your resolutions just think the matter over, and endeavor to understand why it is you failed, so that you may be on your guard against a recurrence 01' the same circumstances. Do not think it is an easy thing you have undertaken. Itis folly to expect to break off a bad habit in a day, which may have been gathering long years.
