A tiny, striped -backed gopher was rushing busily front his hole, where a little heap ot fresh earth showed that Spring houee-elean. ing had begun with him, to the abode of a neighbor, who, perhaps, was confined to his undergroundhome with Spring fever. Whatever the gopher's business was, it kept him running back and forth between the holes with only very short stays in each. An old crow, who looked as if the past Winter had gone hard with hien, sat, a solemn, mournful heap of ruffled feathers, on the peak of the little gray station house. His bright eyes peered out from his coat of rusty feathers and watched, with solemn in- tentness, the busy gopher, just a little way from the narrow platform. He seemed to consider the amount of energy displayed by the small animal as a useless waste of vital force. Oocasionally he opened his red.lined mouth as if about so utter a questioning " Haw ?" but always closed in immediately as if he bad forgotten what he was about to say. In the shade of a distorted tree sat Nixey, the station -master's daughter. From her seat, on an old, worn-out tie, she tickled with a rozin-sveed switch an industrious "crawfish" ha the "branch," that ran its sluggish way just before her. With his body half hidden beneath a shelving piece of limestone the "crawfish" was engaged in ex- cavating a new and perhaps more commodi- ous hole. Carefully lowering the point of the switch into the water, Nixey would touch the worker below. The result would be that the "crawfish" would give a startled "flop," and then a vicious snap at the switch with his lobster -like claws, and Nix- ey would shriek with childish laughter at his queer antics. The rozin.weed would be quickly withdrawn before he could snap it with his claws, and the crawfish would re.

During her persecution of the "crawfish" the lass would, every moment or two, turn a watchful glance toward old Bets, greedily devouring the green shoots on the "burnt patch." Old Bets looked docile and quiet enough, but, as no one can tell what freak may enter the head of a Cherokee cow, it was best to keep an eye on her. A queerly arrayed little figure Nixey was, to be sure. Still, as she was only eleven years old and by no means expert with her needle, and her father, the station agent, was not over skillful in the art of dress- making, the queer cut and finish of her gar- ments was not to be wondered at. Her face was sunburned and flecked here and there with saucy freckles, and her nose had a de- cided upward tilt. Her hair, light and a trifle sun -faded, was tangled, and a stray, ragged lock was continually falling down from beneath the blue cap that Billy Sim- mons, the train "candy and peanut Mitch. er," had given her, and was as often pushed back from her face, only to fall and tickle her enub nose again. To be precise, she bad been christened Alice, after her gentle mother, who now lay peacefully sleeping in the little churchyard in the far-off Ontario village that Nix- ey had lett when still a toddling child. Her father had not been the same since his gentle girl -wife had been taken from him, and could not bear to hear the name of Alice, so he had called the child by one pet name and another, till Alice was forgotton as ever having belonged to her. Then stubby, grinning Paddy Lynch, the jolly b tail brakeman" of No. 19, the cannon "all fast mail, had, for no particular reason, dubbed her "Nixey," and Nixey she be- came to the train hands, all of whom were her friends. In front of the little gray depot ran the track, and the shining rails stretched away on either hand till they seemed to meet each other and touch the horizon in the distance. Without alt was silent, and the old crow on the depot peak shifted his position and gaped again, but uttered no sound. Within the little waiting room, ticket office, etc., all combined, not a sound was heard but the monotonous, " cliek-click- clickety-cliole " of the telegraph instrument as the messages passed by. The operator bowed his pale face in his hands and coughed, and there was a little spot of bright blood on the floor when he finished. He was dying, he knew ; slowly, maybe, but none the less surely. Consumption had fastened upon him with its cruel fangs and his days were numbered. The cold Winter, with its blizzards and icy blasts, had ahnost robbed him of his already failing health, and had strengthened a hundredfold the the power of the fatal disease. He hoped that the coming of Spring, with its life-giv- ing warmth would enable him to throw off the hold of the dread malady, but it was but hoping against hope. He would have given up Ms situation at the little prairie station, so far from human habitation and everything except the tank,and the "branch" that supplied it with water, but he had nowhere else to uo. He had no rela- tives and few friends, and if he should leave the little depot and the small salary his foiling there brought him, what would become of Nixey as well as himself? And so he toiled on, day after day, battling bravely for another week, day, hour of life. When he was gone what would be- come of Nixey? He did not know, and the anxiety that the uncertainty occasioned him lent aid to the deadly disease. He had taught her telegraphy at odd hours, and the child had become so expert that she could read "by sound." if the message was not too rapidly sent, Perhaps, after he was gone the superintendent, learning of his faithful service and the dexterity of the Child, would procure her a place in some office where the knowledge of the "key" wettld provide her with daily bread, and the thought eoinforted him, The child had grown used to hie wan, pale face and his wrenching dough and did not realize that he was near his end, He eoughed again, and the effort teemea as if about to rend his slender frame and narrow ohest in ttvain. When it Was over there was another spot of red life blood en the flour, and he rested his throbbing head on the desk and panted like one exhausted. Far away in the west Nixey saw the in, creasing cloud of smoke that betokened the doming of the cannon ball fast mail, No. 1.

Then as she strolleil back to the depot the train was only a flub:mg or so away. The rapid and almost frantic cliels- ing of the " sounder " reached her ears as eha paused at the Qpett deer. Her father, as pale as the hue of death, was listening to it with startled batensity. Then from his lips came a great plash of bleed and the noise of the approaching trainwas dinning in her ears as the peuting engine drew up at the tank. The words that were being frantically elicited off were from the next station east, where shiftless Diok Burns bad the habit of sleeping as much as possible during the day. Nixey knew sleepy Dick's touch on the instrument. Just now he was clicking off with insane fury: "Extra just left going west. I slept and did not hold it. For God's sake—" Then a great burst of blood oprang frorn the operator's lips. He touched the Instru- ment and wired back— "Slower. Am spitting blood. Go ea—" That was all. Even the word easy" was not finished. A wave of blood burst from the man's lips and he fell back --dead, Nixey sprang to the instrument. Sleepy Dick had paused at the command of the man who now lay dead. With trembling finger and face of sorrow Nixey pressed the instrument. Already there came the noise of the train starting again. Hastily she wired : "Father just dead. Go on from 'sake.'" Then came sleepy Dick's message: "For God's sake hold No. 19.' Just in time, Nixey sprang out on the platform and gave the stop signal. With a grinding roar and a hiss of the air brake the train came to a stop, with the engine just past the little platform. fhe engineer got down from the cab, and wondered beneath his greasy cap if the girl had been playing some prank on him. The gayly. uniformed conductor entered the small room close be- hind the grimy engineer. There was a frown on his face. " What —" he began, but stopped abrupt- ly as he saw the queerly clad child prone on the body of the father who had died doing his duty. The little blue cap that the "peanut butcher" had given her had fallen off, and the untamed, sunfaded hair stream- ed down and half hid the face of the sobbing girl. Then Nixey told of sleepy Dick Burns' message, and the way the conductor sent Paddy Lynch rushing down the track with a red flag was an astonisher to the fire- man, who still sat in the cab. At the rear of the train was a special car , with glittering plate glass windows and gilt ; ornaments. From this presently emerged , the superintendent of the railroad, impa- tient at the unwonted delay at tbe little! waysidestation. He bustled into the small office with stern displeasure depicted upon his face. But, as the young engineer whis- pered the story to him he strode out into the air again, and some one saw him wipe a stray tear from Ms eyes as he walked toward the special car. He was absent but' tew moments, and when he returned there ' were a quiet -faced man and a sunny -haired girl of about Nixey's age with him. After the extra train that Sleepy Dick had failed to hold, and thus came within a hair's breadth of causing a terrible accident, had passed, No. 19 proceeded on its way.' The quiet -faced man was now in charge of the little way station. The dead operator ' lay on a stretcher in the baggage car, and sobbing Nixey was in the special coach, and ' the superintendent's daughter, the sunny - haired lass, was comforting the bereft one. ' Then the old crow, who had flown away at the approach of the train, returned to his perch on the depot peak and uttered a de- ! risive "Haw I" as the gopher one more emerged from his hole. The dead station agent now lies in thei little village churchyard beside his girl -wife, ! and Nixey, tamed to a low -voiced, polished I young lady, is the adopted sister of the superintendent's sunny–haired daughter. And old Bets—why, she, grown older and more staid—is the property of the new agent at the little station, and, as of yore, • ranges over the "burnt patches" of each year. OlOOV$ 11140"Yr be felne of Ond Legentaarylitss OW Traced, talon Ake04:4,10f0044 o Viectoalase roanatu • The "Lie Failk" the "$ttaie of Scone," the " Ston? a Destniy," tile " pilow of Evis demo ' and Jaeob's are the eeva eralanames &en to a stone of retaaaltable antiquity, whisah lies enibedded beneath the poet of he cerenation chair in Westminster Abbev,. upon which Queen Victoria sat forty, in yeare ago last Tuesday (Jane 28, 183$), when, as a elender arid inexperienced girl et nineteen, she went through with beemeing grace the ponipoue ceremony of coronation as Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, and again, less than tsvo weeks ago, was occu- pied by her during a portion of the oeire. monies of the jubtlee celebration of her ao- oession to the throne, a year end a week prior to the formality of being crowned. The chair iteelf is a tell° of great inters*, but in that marvelous Abbey, so orowded with legends and memories it scarcely ob- tains more than a passing glance from the visitor. That rude ohm; once gilt and em- blazoned with color, contains the old cora onation-stone of Scotland; a sacred stone, which, wording to antiquarian lore, Fergus, the first king of Scotland, brought tram Ire- land as a palladium of his race. It is called. the "Stone of Destiny," because a prophetic rune has attached itself to it for some 2,400 years. The verse is in the Irish•Celtio dialect, and was rendered by Sir Walter Scott thus: " Unless the fates are faithlesegrown, And prophet's voloe be vain, Where'er is found the sacred stone The Scottish race shall reign" Some Irish scholars maintain that the word smite in the last line, translated by Sir Walter " Scottish," is derived from neither Scots nor Scythians, and that its meaning as given in old Irish dictionaries is a "wander- er," thus es rrying the prophecy far back of , the time of the first Scottish king. Again, while the word lia is Irish for stone, the word phcal is Hebrew, and is a scriptural word of deep theological import. It signifies " wonderful" and is frequently used in Holy Writ to convey to the mind of man the in- serntable character of the et, and thought, and power of the Godhead. Literally, there- fore, the words mean the " Stone Wonder- ful." , Tracing the stone back to Ireland, it is re- lated that on its arrival in that country (on the coast of which the ship was wrecked that brought it) the Ulster prince, who was • the Heremonn-elect, was crowned B. C. 580. He was on the point of being inaugurated under some particular cromlech which was !supposed to have supernatural powers of in- dicating which out of several aspirants was a man favored by Baal, but affected by the extraordinary story of this stone and the promise, like that made to Judah, of a "per- petual sceptre," conveyed in the Druidical rune above quoted, he desired at once to be crowned ripen, it, and accordingly this Ulster King, Eochaid, of Clothair Crofinn, was in- auguated Heremonn of Tara. The under- stood meaning of the rhyme is that so long as one of the race duly confirmed to mon- archical right on that stone shall have pos. session of the stone, the combination will se- cure to that race the right, and assure the possession, of monarchy. According to bardic tradition the stone was said to emit mysterious sounds when touched by the rightiul heir to the crown and when an Irish colony invaded North Britain and founded the Scottish monarchy there in the sixteenth century the Lia Fail was carried thither to give more solemnity to the coronation of the king,and more security to bis dynasty. The legends of this venerable stone, how- ever, go back to a period long antedating its first use in Ireland. Tradition avers that it is the identical stone upon which the patri- arch Jacob rested his head on the plain of Luz, when he beheld the vision of the lad- der, and. which be "set up for a pillar and poured oil upon it." And again Jacob refers to it when he says "And this stone which I have set up for a pillar shall be God's house." (Gen. xxvii.) It is also re- ferred to in connection with the stone borne in procession to the threshing -floor of Araue- nah, the Jubusite, to install it as the chief corner -stone of the future Temple of Mount Zion, and referred to by the Prophet King in Psalms, exviii., 22, 23. It is said to have rested in past ages in Spain, and Garhelus, the Spanish King, a contemporary of Romulus, is credited with having sent it along with his son when he invaded Ireland. Edward I. took it from Scone Abbey, in Scotland, together with the Scottish crown and sceptre aud solemnly of- fered them at the shrine of Edward the Confesser, at Westminsterin, 1297. In the reign of Edward III. it was agreed that this famous stone should be restored to the Scots, but when the trophy was about to be remov- ed from Westminster Abbey, the mob of London rose in a riotous manner and pre- vented its removal. The relic is a specimen of old red sandstone, as was determined when a small splinter was accidentally broken off while fitting up the Abbey in 1838. An iconoclastic writer asserts that in color, texture and granular qualities it is identical with the sandstone which Scoen of Palace is built, and is a veritable product of Scotland itself, dug from the same quarry or bed of rock as that of which the modern palace is built. In the wardrobe account of King Edward in 1299 there is the entry of a payment to "Walton, the painter, for a step to the foot of the chair, in which the stone of Scotland was placed, near the altar of Edward, in Westminster Abbey." Further evidence of the veneration in which it has been held for centuries is afforded by a remark of Xing James I. at the council table at Whitehall, April 21, 1613. He said: "There is double cause why .1 should be careful of the welfare of that people (the Irish) ; first, as Xing of England, by reason of the long possession the Crown of England bath had of that land, and also as King of Scotland; for the ancient Kings of Scotland are descended from the Kings of Ireland, and they have all been crowned on that stone." Dean Stanley, in his "Memorials of Westmins- ter Abbey," says that precious relic, as King James 1. deemed it, "is the one principal monument which binds together the whole empire." "The iron rings," ho adds, "the battered surface, the era* which has all but rent its solid mass asunder, bear witness to its long migrations." Whether there be sense in the legend of the stone ; whether it came from Egypt or the Holy Land; whether or no the pre. phecy spoken of be a reality, or dream, or myth; whether the stone be called the Stone of Destiny, or Jaeob'e Pillow, or Lia Fail, a e. the "Stone Wonderful," there is no doubt of one thing, it is a Piller of Witness. As a throne of an empire kings have been crowned upon it in succession for nearly 2 500 years. The sceptre of Judah has passed from Eochaid of Ulster, the crowned. Here - moms. of the Irish Fcdertion, B. C. 580, through Fergus, his lineal descendant, who took it from Ireland to Santana, and on it was crowned at Iona first King of the Scots, A. D. 530; through Kenneth II, °tweed King of Soots and. Pict, A. D. 787, at Saone in Plata ; through the inotarehs of England to &slime I., frowned King of Great Britain Circumstances Alter Oases. It is said that when the Caudle lectures were appearing one diligent student of their varied beauties said with a sigh which was most significant: "They are true to nature. No unmarried man could have written them." Equally true, as many newspaper men can testify, is the following item in which is recorded the reason why a worthy clergyman dropped his subscription to the local paper and why he in due time resumed it again : A clergyman residing in the neighborhood of Hartford, having lost his wife, submitted a column or more review concerning her life, requestine the editor of his paper to have it published. The newspaper man, on account of the length of the article and its lack of public interest, was obliged to decline it with thanks. Upon this the clergyman became indignant and stopped his patron. age. Within a year he married again, and the newspaper in question gave a full notice of the event. The next day the clergyman presented himself in the editorial room, his face wreathed with smiles, and bought a number of papers. On going out he renewed his order for the paper, remarking that he was wholly unable to recall the,accident by which his subscription had been allowed to lapse. Yes 1 Many an indignant contributor of a local item that was heavy, dull and long has, like this obituary -writing clergyman, "stopped his paper." Alt well, the heavens did not fall after all, and in spite of the calamity the paper man rubbed along. No one will ever know how much the world has lost by contributed articles sent in as "trifles,' being either returned or reinorse- lessly "cub down." Of course the best bits were always left out, and this most fin- ished papers invariably returned!

He held very strongly axed demanstrated very clearly that that traffic threetens the very foundations of the great ,Ameriean Republic and that either that trade or :moiety itself must go, ender. The question of the hour in the States and in Canada also is eimply this ;--" Shall the Liquor Power, with its dire and deadly in- fluences rule and ruin or shall it be utterly destroyed 1" "This malign power," said Mr. Windom,—who by the way was Gar - field's secretary of the Treasury,—" Iles or- ganized and massed its nfighty forces for the conflict. It has raised the black flag, and proclaimed that he who will not swear alle- giance to it, and thereby become particeps criminis in its work of destruction and dase,th shall politically perish. It has even drawn the assassin's knife and lighted the torch of the incendiary, in order to inspire dismay in the ranks of its enemies. The time has therefore come whou the issue must be met. Political parties can no longer dodge it if they would. Private citizens must take sides openly for or against the saloon, with its methods and its results. Neutrality is henceforth impossible, indifference is hence- forth a betrayal of the trust involved in eitizenahip." In short, the saloon rules the country and if not destroyed will ruin it. In the United States the liquor interest claims to have invested in the making and selling of its vares a thousand millions of dollars. There are at least 500,000 em- ploye's. There are millions of poor miser- able victims and camp followers ready to do its bidding. The actual waste from the liquor traffic in the S bates Mr. Windom calculates at $1,350,00a,000 per anum. Save that andthe I wildest dreams of George with his anti -pov- erty sonely would be more than realized. Mr. Powderly, the master workman, stated late- ly that in a single Pennsylvanian county, and in one year, $17,000,000 were spent Oil liquor I came from working men. Why, the savings and that of this sum as much as $11,0. 0,000 1 that could be effected through an Anti Saloon Society would in ten years buy half the farms of the continent, and in fifteen I could secure the value of all the railways I from the North Pole to the Isthmus. Let the following specimen of Mr. Windom's ad- dress suffice :—" The saloons stand open day and night—Sundays included—ready to re- ceive t e myriads of poor, ignorant and nus - guided wretches whose childhood blighted in the drunkard's home makes them ready vic- tims to the teaehersof disorder, socialism and anarchy who here find their council chamber and their inspiration. I verily believe that if the saloon were abolished the dangerous classes which now menace society would to is great extent disappear with it. What think ye would become ot the anarchist and socialist without his ally and assistant ? Where would he rally his forces? Where would he teach his treason? Where would he find inspirit - tion for his followers? The saloon system is itself a league of law breakers, whose ex- ample affords a most powerful stimulus to disorder of all kinds. It openly proclaims its purpose to disobey all laws which Inter- fere with its supreme purpose to make money in its own way and at whatever sacrifice. Upon the ruins of Judah is written 'Idola- try,' of Greece and Rome sensuality,' of Spain avarice,' and upon the ruins of the Great Republic will be written corruption,' unless there be virtue enough in the people to rescue it from the bottomless abyss to- ward which its steps are tending. Combine and aggregate all the other corrupting agencies and influences of our times, and they are dwarfed beside the liquor power. Indeed, but few of the other inethods of corruption are complete without it." Strong words but true as truth, and quite as appli- cable to the north side of the boundary line as to the south. A Horse That Was a Setter. A man had a horse who would sit down whenever he was touched in the flank. He would just squat down on his hind quarters like a dog. The man tried th break him of it, but he couldn't, and nobody would buy him. One day a sportsman came along and made his acquaintaince aud they took a ride together to hunt partridges When they found a covey the man touched his heels to the horses flanks and he sat down. " What makes your horse do that ?" said the sportsman. " Why, he's a setter," said the man. " He sets birds just like dogs." So thesportsman thoughthe'was a wonder- ful horse, and he swapped for him and gave fifty dollars to boot, and he got on him, and after awhile they came to a creek that was pretty deep, and as the sportsmen held up his legs to keep them out of the water his heels touched the horse in the flank and down he sat in the water. When he got up and out and all dripping wet he was as mad as a wet hen, and said " Well, sir, what made this horse do that way in the water ?" "1 forgot to tell you," said the man, "that he sets fish just as well as he sets birds." An Intelligent Bird. Old Maid—" Is this parrot for sale ?" Bird -Dealer—" Yes, mum." "Can he talk ?" "Not yet, but he understands everything you say to him." The German Government press does not cease warning investors against the uncer- tainty of Russian securities. The English House of Common e recog- nises no reports of its debates, and has al- ways declared that to report them is a breach of its privileges.
