Longfellow. As Fern finished her little speech, Crystal hid her face in her hands, but there was no answerâ€"only the sound of a deep drawn Bob was distinctly audible. A few minutes afterwards she raised in, and in the moon- light Fern could see it was streaming with tears. " Do not say any more,” she implored; “ do you think my own heart does not tell “ Yes,” was the steady answer. “ I would go back to him and be his eyes, though his goodness humbled me in the dust. Ah, Crystal, are you worse than she out; of whom the Saviour cash seven devils, and who loved much because much had been forgiven her?” ” Hush, hush! you do not know, Fern!” “My darling, I do know,” persisted Fern, gently, “ and I tell you that it is your duty to go back to Ruby, who loves you so. Nay," she continued, as a. deep blush rose to Crystal’s olive cheek, “he never cared for this Monsâ€"your own words have proved that. Go back to him, and be the lighn of his eyes, and take his darkness from him, for I see plainly that he will never leave 05 seeking you and you only." gii-I, Eournfuiiy. “ I who have blighted his life and darkened his days; who have made his existence a. long night? I who have robbed him of the glory of his priest- hood, and made him what he is, a. wreck of his former self?” “Crystal,” subbed Fern, and indeed she could scarcely speak for her tears, she was so moved by this pitiful story, “ if I were you I would go back to-morrow ; how can you, how can you leave him, when he needs you so ?" “In the Crystal you know you will hardly find a trace of the high-spirited girl that Raby loved. nay, that he loves still. Ah. I know it all now; how he seeks his darling, and makes it his life purpose to find her, and bring her back to peace. know how even in his intolerable anguish he prayed them to have mercy upon me. and to spare me the awful truth. I have seen his face, that changed blind face of his. I have ministered to him with these bands, I have heard his dear voice, and yet I have not betrayed myself.” “ When they came to me as I lay across the threshold of his door, and told me that the light of those beautiful eyes was quenched for ever; that I should never meet that loving glance again, that he was blindâ€"blindâ€"and that it was my hand that had done it ; then it was that in my agony I breathed the vow that I would remove their curse from them, that I would wander forth, Cain-like, into the great world, until my punishment was in some degree commensurate with my sin. Fern, I have never faltered in my purpose. I have never repented of my resolve, though their love has sought to recall me, and I know that in their hearts they had forgiven me. I have worked, and wept, and prayed, and my expiation has not been in vain, “ I cannot go on. I cannot 1 “ Was not Cain’s punishment greater than he could bear? “ I saw her white hands trembling, her blue, eyes dilated with horror; and then my demon was upon me.

SIR HUGH’S LOVES. “ ‘ You shall go to Switzerland and Italy, and see your father’s grave, and your beau- tiful Florence again. You shall see fresh sights and breathe fresh air until this weary lassitude has left you, and you come back to us like our old Crystal.’ “ ‘1 am your guardian, and I tell you that you will go, Crystal,‘ he returned, severely, but his sternness was only assumed to hide his pain. ‘Nay, my child,’ as he saw my face, ‘ do not make it too hard for me, by a resistance that will be useless. Think how the months fly by, and how the change will benefit you, and how good it is of our dear Mrs. Gray to give up her peaceful home and her work just for "our sake and mine.’ “ ‘ Do not be alarmed.

To-D ay. â€"Emma Withers. â€"Victor Huga I me all that, but I will not go back yet; the i flaming sword of conscience still bars my ‘ way to my Paradise. Fern, do you know why I have told you my story? it is because I I am going away, and I want you to prom- ise me something, and there is no one else “You are expecting visitors at Belgrave House then ‘2” she asked; but there was no interest in her manner. She only Wanted t1) keep the conversation to general subjects. She would talk of Belgmve House or any- thing he liked if he would only not make love to her. If he only knew how she hated it, and from him of all men. “Did you bring Mr. Huntington with you?” she asked rather hurriedly, for she was quite aware of the fixed look that always annoyed herr The admiration of men was odious to her now the only eyes she had cared to please would never look at her again. . “Do you mean Erle ?” was the careless answer. ‘ Oh, no, my dearly beloved cousm has other game to bring down ;” and here there was a slightly mocking tone in Percy’s voice. “ He is with la, belle Evelyn as usual. I am afraid Erle does not quite hit it as an ardent lover; he is rather halfâ€" hearted. He asked me to go down to Vic- toria Station to meet his visitor, but I declined, with thanks. I had otherbusiness on hand, and I do not care to be ordered about ; so the carriage must go alone.” Any person meeting these two young people would have regarded them as a per- fectly matched couple. Percy‘s refined aristocratic face and distinguished carriage made asplendid foil for Crystal’s dark beauty and girlish grace. As Percy’s eyes rested on her they scarcely noticed the shabby dress she wore. He was thinking as usual that he had never seen any one to compare with this young governess; and he Wondered, as he had wondered a hundred times before, if her mother had been an Englishwoman ; his mother would never tell him anything about Miss Davenport, except that she was of good birth and an orphjm: _ _ fl I can ask; no, nob your mother,” as Fern looked surprised at this, “ she has enough to brouble her.’7 “ I am sure your mother and Fern missed you,” she replied, evasively. She wanted to keep him in good humor, and avoid any dangerous topics. She would like to leave him, if possible, with some kindly memory of this interview. In spite of his sins against her, she could not altogether harden her heart against Fey’s brother. "JWHM is it?” asked Fern. rather timimjly. 1n ‘1 “ I am going away,” returned Crystal, “ and one never knows Wham may happen. I am young, but life is uncertain. If I never come back, if anything befalls we, will you with your own hands give this to Ruby,” and as she spoke, she drew from her bosom a. thick whine envelope sealed and directed, and plaCed in in Fern’s lap. As it lay there Fern could read the inscription: “ To be given to the Rev. Ruby Furrers, after my death.” “ Has it seemed a long time to you ‘2" he returned, with quick emphasis. “ I wish I could believe you had missed me, that you had even given me a. thought during my absence ;” and he looked wietfully at the girl gs he spoke. “ We are busy people, Mr. Trafford,” she answered, pleasantly, “ and can never afford to Walk slowly. Why did you not wait with your sister? you have not seen her for a. long time.” ” Miss Davenport, this is too delightful,” and his handsome face wore a. look of pleased eagerness. “ I thought I should have to wait some time, from Fem’s account but. I have non been here a moment. There is no hurry, is there ‘2” checking her pace es Crystal seemed inclined to walk fest. It was with a. feeling of annoyance and very real discomfort, then, that Crystal caught sight of him as she came down the steps of Upton House. He was walking quickly down the street, and evidently per- ceived her at once. There would be no chance of escaping him, se she walked slowly on, quite aware that he would overtake her in another minute. As they were to part so soon. she must put up with his escort. Of course he had been to Beulah Place, and was now in Search of her; poor foolish boy “Oh, Crystal,” she exclaimed, with a. shiver, “ what could happen to you. You are youngâ€"not oneâ€"and-bwenty yetâ€"and your health is good, and ” but Crystal interrupted her with a strange smile. 1.1 The next moment she heard his footstep behind her. “ Yes, in is true; but the young and the strong have to die sometimes; when lhe call comes we must go. Do not look so frightened, Fern, I will not die if I can help it; but if in should be so, will you with your own hands give that to Ruby: it will tell him what; I have suflered, andâ€"and in will comfort him a. little.” “ Yes, dear, I will do it;” and Fern leaned forwards and kissed her softly. The moon was shining brightly nowY and in the clear white light Fern noticed for the first time how thin and pale Crystal looked; how her cheek, and even her supple figure, had lost their roundness. There were deep hollows in the temples, dark lines under the dark eyes ; in spite of her beauty she was fearfully wan. The grief that prayed upon her would soon ravage her good looks. For the first time Fay felt a vague fear oppressing her, but she had no opportunity to say more, for at that moment Crystal rose quickly from her seat. -1 AFIV “ It: will be much better for him not to know until the Sea is between us, ” she had said to Mrs. Traflord. “ When he hears I have gone without bidding him good-bye, he will see then that I mean what I sayâ€" that my life has nothing to do with his ;" and Mrs. Trufford had agreed to this. Percy had not yet; heard the news; he had been away from town the last; week, to Crystal’s great; relief. She had begged Mrs. Trafford and Fern to say nothing, about her movements. He might appear at any moment, and Crystal dreaded a scene if he heard of her approaching departure. “ You have promised," she said, gratefully; “thank you for that. It is a. great trust, Fem, but I know I can rely on you. Now I can talk no more. If your mother comes in, will you tell her about Miss Campion? I think she will be glad for many reasons. Now I will try and sleep, for there is much to be done to-morrow. Good-night, my dear;” and the next moment Fern found herself alone in the moonlight. The little household in Beulah Place were very busy during the next few days. The girls went out shopping together to replenish Crystal’s modest wardrobe, and then sat working until nearly midnight to complete the new travelling dress. I“! rn was putting the final stitches on the last afternoon while Crystal went to bid good-bye to her pupils. The black trunk in the girl’s room was already packed, for she was to start early in the morning. “Put it away Safely, my dear; you will never hsve to give it, 1 hope; only it is a relief to the poor child to know that you have it. Her‘s is a strange, morbid nature. She is not yet humbled sufficiently. When she is, she will go back, like the Prodigal, and take the forgiveness that is waiting for her. Now, my darling, all this sad talk has made you look pale. You must try and forget it, and go to sleep.” But, for the first time in her healthy girlhood, sleep refused to come at Fern’s bidding ; and she lay restless and anxious, thinking of her friend’s tragic-ail story until the grey dawn ushered in the new day. - WhiéanMrs. Trufford refi’lrned, she heard thejlewgvery quietly. .‘ .1 “ It will De hatterâ€"much better.” she said, quickly. “You must not fret: abouc it, my sunbeam. Crystal is beginning to look ill; change and movement \Vlll do her good. Our llfe is very quiet. She has too much time to feed upon herself. She will be obliged to rouse herself among strangers.” And when Fern told her tearfully 01 the promise she had made, Mrs. Trafford only listened with a. grave smile. “‘rOli, it is not my visitor,”was the reply; The French war balloon is made in four sections, so that a. bullet may go through without dropping it. The Dominion Grovurnment has been notified that the Canadian sealers seized in Behring’s Sea. this season have been found guilty at Sitka of illegal sealing and the Vessels and skins forfeited.

The Port (‘olborne Gas Well. The gas at the well suddenly disappeared on Tuesday,a.nd no reason can be accounted for it. It is surmised by some that the hole at the vein has by some means filled up, thus preventing the gas from coming up. On Wednesday, men were at work putting down a. twoâ€"inch pipe inside the casting to ascertain, if possible, the cause of the obstruction. No one thinks it can be possible that the gas has already been ex- hausted in the Well ; still it is causing the company considerable uneasiness. “ No, no; it was a. little family affair. We have ‘em often, so it don’t matter. Sometimes my wife’s mother takes a hand in the shindy ; the old gal is always there when she is in the humor for fun, and last night she was boiling over with it.”â€" Luuisville Courier-Journal. “it is only some old fogie or other that Erle has picked up at Sundyclifleâ€"Erle lmsacraze about pickiyg up odd p601 le. “ She, who do you mean ?

I did not mention the engagement was with my mother, and that I should probably be partaking of acup of tea; but the fact is true never- theless.” “ Kuoxonian ” Writes in the Canada Presbyterian: The path of the Church is fairly strewn with the victims of irrespon- sible pressure. Clergymen suffer from this kind of pressure more perhaps than any other class of men. A few restless, irre- Sponsible spirits surround a pastor and urge him to send for some sensational revivalist and get up a revival. The pastor wants a genuine revival in the congregation much more than any of the restless spirits do. He has worked for it, planned for it, prayed for it, done all in his power to pro- mote it. But he knows very well that many excellent people of conservative lean. ings in the Gangregwtion do not take kindly to some modern revival methods. He knows also that seeds of discord have been sown at many so-callcd revivals that have brought forth bitter fruit for years. He knows also that more effective and more useful special services might be held under the auspices of the session and by minis» ters of his own church, but he has a chronic fear of being charged with opposition to revivals ; 'he yields and the sensational un- known is sent for. The result is perhaps (llsastrous. But when the disaster comes, where are the irresponsibles who brought the pressure to bear ? They are snickering around corner groceries gabbling over the affair in much the same spirit as they would gabble over the last lacrosse or baseball match. The Church may lose influence, lose money, lose the inestimable blessing of peace, but the irresponsibles lose nothing, for the best and simplest of all reasonsâ€"they have nothing to lose. By all means hold special services, when reasonable and responsible persons desire to hold them. But let such services be begun, continued and ended by men of known and established Christian character, men for whom the Christian people of the community have respect and in whom they have confidence. A revival carried on by persons that no sane man would make executor for an estate worth $100 is not likely to do much good. It is encouraging to see how rapidly the friends of our cause all over the country are realizing and acting upon this truth. For one thing, they are making the pro. poverty press do good missionary work. John Smith writes to his county paper ex- pounding the anti-poverty gospel, and re- questing to be put right if he is wrong. The editor is only too happy to oblige w and, be- sides, it’s such an easy thing to do. The editor is perfectly at home on the subjectâ€" knows all about anti-poverty, united labor party, Henry George, Dr. McGlynn and all the rest of it, and has only been waiting for a good chance to knock the whole concern into a cooked hat. Ever read ” Progress and Poverty ?” Well, no; but, bless you, he knows the book just as well as though he had read every word of it, has read all about it a hundred times. And so Mr. Editor sits down, and triumphantly proves to his correspondent some such proposition as that even if it were possible to divide the land up so that every man, woman and child should have a. piece it wouldn’t be a week before some men would be selling, their shares, and other men buying them; or, perhaps, like His Grace Archbishop Corrigan, in his famous pastoral, he gives a lot of splendid argu- ments against the private ownership of land, and then claims that they prove private ownership to be altogether justifi- able. ln other words, he sets up a figure of straw, cliristeris_.it Anti-poverty, and demolishes it triumphantly. Now, this sort of argument rarely fails to recoil. Men read the paper and ask themselves if it really can be pOSsible that hundreds of thousands of menâ€"clergymen, mechanics, lawyers, doctors and storekeepers, men of every trade and occupationâ€"can be de- luded by such a transparently shallow theory as that which the editor has ex- ploded in a single column article. And, just as a matter of curiosity, these men take up “ Progress and Poverty” or the Standard, or begin to question their anti- poverty friends, and then â€" ahl then there’s a pretty kettle of fish ! They see the truthâ€"see it face to face for the first time, and, seeing it. they can’t help recog~ nizing and believing in it.â€"Ncw York Standard. “The Editor Knows Everything.” Pressure That should Be Resisted.

Perhaps people would not indulge in these silly, ignorant speculations as to the marriage between one of the Prince of Wales’ daughters and the Czarewitch, or one between Prince Albert Victor and one of the daughters of the Emperor of Russia, if they were aware, first, that the Czarewitoh, who is now 19, is so weak both in body and mind that there can be no question of his marriage with anybody ; second, that the second son, the Grand Duke George, is only 16 ; third, that the Grand Duchess Xenia is in her 13th year. Russia has benefltted so much during the last sixty years by her family friendship with Prus- sia that one cannot doubt that in due time the Emperor Alexander will endeavor to strengthen the bonds which unite him with Berlin by another alliance with the Hohen. zollerns.

Rumors are very unfavorable regarding the Crown Prince of Germany. Private reports affirm that the affection of his throat develops a cancerous tendency which is not yet pronounced, but is more than suspicious. His magnificent constitu- tion begins to feel the effects of the con- tinual drain upon his strength. The local disease Seelns to yield, then it breaks forth again. The most emlnent medical men in London feel very doubtful about the result. Two young Springfield girls, named Charlotte Atkinson and Edith McCauley, were naken to the county jail at St. Thomas last evening, having been committed for trial on a. charge of larceny.

Be Very Careful About the Letters You Write to Married Men. A habit very common with a number of our thoughtless youngladies who do agreat many things quietly which they would not like to have known of at homeâ€"a habit deserving of the strongest condemnationâ€" is that of promiscuous correspondence with gentlemen, whether the gentlemen be mar- ried or single. 'lhe young ladies who find pleasure in this habit use their pens on any pretext that turns up, and sometimes on no pretext at all. We are not really sure that this does not come less under the head of an undesirable habit than a. sin, for there is an indelicacy about it quite amounting to immodesty, of which no girl who re- spects herself, or who desires the respect of others, will be guilty. Is sometimes called the sincere form of flattery, This may account for the number of imitations of she original and only pos- itive corn cureâ€"Putnam’s Painless Corn Extractor.

Edward Moran and Thomas Moran, from Ardoch, Dakota, on their way to Ontario, obtained 9. room Monday night at the Massasoit House, corner of Central avenue and South Water street. and were found dead in their beds yesterday morning. The gasjet was open and the room full of gas, which it was presumed they had blown out. They were well-dressed young men. Besides their clothing and other valuables $76 was faund in their pockets. The coroner held an inquest, and a. verdict was returned of asphyxiation by gumâ€"Chicago Times of yesterday. These young letter-writers, however, generally get a fit reward for their thought- lessness or their culpability. If their cor- respondent is a man of systematic habits, their letters are docketed and ticketed, and his clerks have as much of a laugh over them as they Wish ; and if he is not a sys- tematic man, then those letters are at the mercy of any and every one who chooses to waste time reading them. If their corre- spondent is a married man, then his pos- session of their letters, eVen 0f the most trivial kind, places the writers at a disad- vantage. Sooner or later the letters iall into the hands of his wife, who reads the fully or the wickedness with clear eyes, and holds the writer not only in contempt, but in her power. No young girl can be sure that her correspondent is not merely amusing himself with her ; and it is often the case that her letters are unwelcome and a nuisance, and he does not check them and does reply to them, not from interest in her, but merely manly chivalry. When the writer has recovered from her folly or forgotten about her idleness. there is the letter ready to rise. like an awful betraying ghost, after she herself has possibly undergone a change, that will make her face burn, branded with shame, should the letter ever chance to confront her, or perhaps even the memory of it. Her motiVe may have been all innocence at the time, but it is left forever under doubt, and, in fact, except in the baldest business affair, there can be no excuse, and therefore no innocence, in the matter of a young girl’s writing letters to any man not her personal relative or guardian, for about most of these letters there is an unmaidenliness amounting to indecency, and in the end her correspondent himself never thinks other than light of her on ace-cunt of them.â€"Harpe7"s Bazur. A Prize of $100,000 is a good thing to get, and the men who wins it by superior skill, or by an unexâ€" peoted turn of fortune’s wheel, is to be congratulated. But he who escapes from the clutches of that dread monster, Con- sumption, and Wins beck health and ha.in ness,is far more fortunate, The chances of Winning $100,000 are small, but every consumptive may be absolutely sure of re- covery if he takes Dr. Pieroe’s Golden Medical Discovery in time. For all scrof-' ulous diseases (consumption is one of them) it is an unfailing remedy. All druggists. â€"“ In one of the old Catholic towns of Louisiana,” says the Waco Day, “ the cere- monies of the Jewish New Year took place in the Baptist Church and the musical s~ r- vices were conducted by a. Hebrew lady, wife of a Catholic gentleman, who is himself of mixed Protestant and Catholic lineage." How to Reduce Your Expenses. You can do it easily, and you will not have to deprive yourself of a single com- fort; on the contrary. you will enjoy life more than ever. How can you accomplish this result ? Easily; out down your doctor‘s bills. When yen lose your appetite, and become bilious and constipated, and there- fore low-spirited, don’t rush off to the family physician for a. prescription, or, on the other hand, wait until you are sick abed before doing anything at all ; but just go to the druggist’s and for 25 cents get a supply of Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative Pellets.

Not one single word broke the silence. After two hours of this strange converse between two great souls that understood each other without speech, Tennyson rose to take leave of his host.
