At last she touched her daughter's hair softbr• e Den% Meg," she said. "1 did not Weanit Butli"eg only drew the wIrinkled bands about her neck and let her tears flow unchecked. At length she baked up. "It was I whe drove him way— Matt Erickson," she said. "We had a little quarrel, just a !ew idle words about a ribbon, and I told him in my gay anger I would have no mor to say to him while the stars shone. Abd. now thy' do not shine for him for he is blind —blind. 0 mother, 1 cannot live, I can- not beas, yri t u" ye will live, child," the widow answered quickly. "We can bear any thing, we women. Your father was brought iu to me dead—killed in these mines when you were scarce three years old, my Meg, and I am ali ve yet." "But this is worse than death," she erisel passionately. 'Mother, do you _ bear ? He who was my plighted hus- blm- d is blind, in a far, strange country. I must go and bring him home, home to ItysdYk-" She had risen from her mother's arms, and stood before her in the moon- light, pale, resolute, with her hands clasped rigidly. " Give me my dowry, mother, and. let me go,"she said. "Do not deny ime this thing. I am well and strong, and, if I do say it, 1 aril quick-witted. I can make ray way. I shall come back safely. Let me go, mother !" "It is not your place, Meg. Let some some one else go." , " Who ? Tell me that! Has he father or brother or uncle? Who is there to go ?" "Butf-it's not right maidenly to go off after a lover, Meg. What will the folks say ? And—would you Marry a blind man ?" "Maidenly? It is maidenly to do right," said Meg sturdilyieher brown cheek flushing. "What do I are for the folk? I'm not a young girl to drop my eyes and be shame -faced !because people will talk. They always talk. And as for marrying—it is not of mar- riage I am thinking now; it is of bring- ing Matt Erickson—he -whom_ I drove away by my ill doings—back safe to his own country—" She hesitated a moment, and then , went on : "But I'll not play false wAh you, mother. He'll not ask me to marry him. But I shall know. If be wants me, after all that's past, he shall have me, and I'll take care of 'him till I aie" Their talk lasted far into the night. But with it we have no more to do, nor Vali the details by which a little money was to he made to go a great way. For, after many tears, the widow consented that Meg should take her dowry and spend it as she chose. If they had been more worldly-wise they would. have knewn how to accomplish their pur- pose through the agency of others. As it was. they saw no other Way than for Meg to do herself the thing she wanted done. ) . 1 Oh, that weary, vreary journey ! Why _was the world so wide, the way so long? Meg kept up a brave heart until the t boisterous ocean was crossed, nd she bad made her wayBuffalo, as far as here she had been told to t ke the teamer for Marquette. It seemed. to her that she had. traveled. the Width of a whole wide earth already, since her t first fell upon the soil of the strange new world. Is this Lake Superior, sir," she ask- ed. timidly of a policeman, as she left fie cars and saw the waters of Lake krie stretchink away in the distance. And can you; tell me, are we hear Ish- peming!" , . "Oh, no, my girl, this is Lake Erie. Lake Superior is way up north, hun- dreds of miles from here. Ishpeming? }lever heard of such a place. But here's your steamer if y3u're going up that way." Her heart sank like lead. - Would she ever, ever reach the end? All day and. day after day she sat silently. in the bow.of the boat, gazing steadily for- ward. On, on, tillErie was passed— on through lovely St. Clair with its soft- ly rounded. shores and fairy islands— then up through Lake Huron, still strriggliiia.up, as it were, past towering, frowninCheights, past stretches of in- terminable forest, past rocky headlongs, past sandy beaches, through Itcrtuous channels and devious ways, into the -wild rapids of the Sault Ste! Marie. Then at last Superior! grand, weird, majestic in all its awful silences, sweep- ing on between its 'nighty, far -stretch- ing shores, dark as the ocean, resistless asi the grave. Where was she going? Would she ever find. Matt ? Sailing on and on— penetrating nature's secret places, where the foot of man had never trod- den. So it seemed to her. Could hu- man kind live in these vast, wild. wil- dernesses? i 1 It was like a new birth wh'en, after many days, the steamer entered the beautiful bay of Marquette, and the fair young city rose before her astonished eyes, its white cliffs gleaming in the sun, its green shores sweeping down- ward to the water's edge. She was near her goal at last. . For Ishpeming- was but 20 miles away hp the railroad, and. thither she went by the -first train. How rough and wild it all was! And how the charred. and blackened pine trees towered. aloft like grim giants, and pointed. their fingers at her as she swept their -solitudes ! "Can you tell me where to -man called Matthew Erickson ?" she asked of the depot -master, trembling from head to foot. 44 Erickson ? Erickson? Blown up in the mines a year or so ago Wasn't he. He stays at Sara Ayres, the -English- man's, I believe. Just yer go round that corner, ma'am, then. turn to the right and go up the hill—or stay! Let me lock up here and I'll t'ao with you. Ever beenin Ishpealiag before? No:: I thought you looked like a stranger in these parts." He left her at Sam Ayres's gate,i, hav- ing opened it gallantly 'when he saw that her cold fingers were unfit to do her bidding. A kindly -faced woman came to the door and bade her welcome. Meg's story was soon told. - "And you have come alone all this longway to bring Erickson home again ?" her eyes filling. "God bless you, dear, for I'm sure He sent von. We've done. the best we could for him, but—you are his sister ?" ghastly through find a e "No. I'm a friend—a neighbor. There :was no one else," she said Bina- PlY. " Wnat s your name? I'll tell him." "No matter about the niiIshe ; say a friend from the old country." The ,woman carne back presently. "-Be careful," she said, "he's weak yet. But I want to tell you something just to keep your heart up, for he looks like a ghost. There was a great doctor from New York up here last week. to look at his poor eyes, and he told Sam' there was a chance for him yet—just one chance in a hundred." "Dees he know it?" asked Meg, tremulously her color coming and go- ing. She was but a woman after all. Only blindness would have brought her there. "No, and you must not tell him. The doctor said so most partibular. Will you go up now?" He had been sitting in the sun by the low window all day, brooding, brooding. They had been very kind to him, these people, but even kindness wears itself out after a while, What was to beconie of him? The wages he had laid up Were wasting away. The early north- ern winter would soon set in. He shiv- ered. as he thought of the fierce winds, the pitiless, drifting snows. There was nothing a blind man could do here. If he were only at home in Rysdyk ! Would Meg be sorry for him, he won- dered, if she knew how desolate he was, how lonely in this strange land? If he were at home he could learn to weave baskets like old Timothy. Here he was just a ,dead weight. " Seine one to see him from the old country?" He urned his sightless eyes towards the door where Meg was entering noise- less as a spirit, and his face kindled eagerly. Noiselessly she closed the door behind her. He was so changed, so white and worn, that her heart stepped its pulsations for a moment. She feared any sudden shock might overcome him. She dared uot speak lest he should know her voice. Strange that she had not thought of this Cefore! He put out his hand vaguely feeling the presence that he could hot see. " You are very welcome," he said, "But I do not know who it is. Who are yon ?" He thought it was some kindly En-, glishma.n, who having heard of his mis- fortunes had come to speak a word of cheer and comfort. She gave him her hand, still silently. A woman's hand! A swift thrill shot through his frame, and his face flushed. Holding herself still with a mighty ef- fort Meg knelt by his side, laying her head upou his knee. His hand touched her hair, her fore- head, her lips. She gave a low cry, trembling like a leaf. " Speak to me quick," she whispered hoarsely. " Matt !" "0 Meg, Meg, my Meg !" • How a Clergyman]. Settled Chi -nese Question. The Rev. Mr. Gober, a Methodist clergyman at Grass Valley, Nevada,ha.s settled the Chinese question in his parish. He took with him to Grass Yadley from Sacramento a Mongolian man -of -all -work. The members of the flock liked the shepherd, but hated the shepherd's dog, and it was not long be- fore the board of stewards demanded. the expulsion of 1:ie Chinaman. The clergyman assured them that John had lived with him a iong time, was a tol- erable Christian and an exceedingly good fellow, and there wile no reason why he should be discharged. The stewards subsequently informed the parson that they would not pay his salary if he refused to dismiss the ser- vant. • The reply Was, " Come to church next Sunday evening." ,The church was crowded on the evening in question aud the sermon was awaited with breathless interest. The reference to the Chinese question was brief but pointed. "The stewards have told me "that unless I discharge the Chinaman in my employ they will no longer be re- sponsible for my salary. My wife has learned to like John because he is a good Christian, thinks so much of us, and does -his work so faithfully. I now, an- swer you once for all that the Chinaman shall stay with us, and I shall continue as pastor of this church until the con- ference sees fit otherwise to direct me, salary or no salary, starve or no starve. I have never yet been intimidated from what I considered my duty as a Chris- tian, and do not propose to be now! Brethren, it strikes me pretty fQrcibly that it would be better for you to fol- low the religion taught in the Bible than that dealt out in the sand lots in San Francisco." There was applause from every side of the Church, and when the preacher left' the pulpit a prominent member of the congregation stepped up to him and sttid "Parson, you have partaken of my hospitality in the past many a time. Recollect that my latch -string hangs on the outside when you come that way. There is a crust in our cupboard when your salary "Your Majesty," whereupon she in- formed him that he was under a mistake. So M. Turquet gently apologized, and the visit ended with mutual empressions of polillentiss and esteem. A little later in the day M. Turquet learned that Queen Victoria had never quitted the embassy at all, and that Princess Beatrice, instead of visiting the Louvre, had one to see the tomb of Napoleon and the Sainte Chapelle. Who then were the ladies whom he had guided through the galleries with so much civility? They proved to have been the two young danghters of M. de Montebelle, the First Secretary of Legation to thy French Embassy at London, accompaniel by their English governess, who,hearing that the Louvre was to be opened at an unusually early hour that morning, had resolved to profit by the opportunity, and -certainly saw the .galleries to particularly good advantage in consequence. Matrimonial Chalices of Bach- elors and Widowers. ' •Dr. Bertillon, writes a Paris corre- spondent of the New Orleans .Picayune, is a French physician who has given great attention to medico -social statis- tics. In framing tables of the chances of marriage he has discarded the old method (mere groups) and has ;adopted a method of framing tables by groups and by corresponding ages. He rightly insists that age has a great deal. to do with marriage. He goes first to Hol- land for statistics, because there, better than anywhere else, tables can be framed of bachelors .and widowers, He says that in Holland young men b4ween 22 and 24 years old annually marry in the proportion of 46 per 1,000. Those who become widowers at this age marry in the proportion of 213 per 1000 —that is—five times more than bach- elors. At the age when mu marry— that is, between 25 and 35—bachelors annually marry in the proportion of 110 per 1,000, while widowers marry in the proportion of 356 per 1;000. After 25 men feel less inclination to marry, but even during these chilling years three or four widowers marry to one bachelor. In Switzerland four times more wid- owers than bachelors marry.- In Hol- land, Switzerland, England, Belgium, France, where 55.07 bachelors marry, 134 widowers buy plain ()old. rings. In France, Paris excepted, men marry most between 20 and 25. In Paris few peciple marry between 20- and 25. In Paris the greatest number- of marriages take place after men are 40 and after women are 25; after these periods the maximum of marriages take place and the per centum surpasses that of aL France, and raises' as,is above seen, th4 average age of marriage from 20-2-b6 25-35. • A French Minister's Mistake. During Queen Tictoria's visit a funny incident took place in Paris. Oa the day of her arrival the British Ambas- sador sent word. to M. Turquet; the Minister of Fine Arts, to have the Louvre opened an hour or two before the usual time the next morning, as the Queen and Princess Beatrice would probably wish to go there, and adding his desire that the. incognito of Her Majesty should be strictly respecte& and that no official reception should be offered to her. M. Tdrquet could not think of permitting the royal visitOr to traverse the halls of the Louvre alone, or accompanied merely by au ordinary guide, so at the earliest possible moment he was in waiting at the principal entrance to the galleries. After .some time a carriage drove up, containing an elderly lady in deep mourning, accompanied by two young girls.! Taking it for granted that this was the Queen, her daughter and a lady in waitina, he hastened to offer his arm to the elderly lady, and. restraining with difficulty his lively desire- to tall her "-Your Majesty," he proceeded to con- duct the party through the different galleries, pointing out al' the :prominent works of art and principal objects of in- terest. Atfirst somewhat surprised. by. the :extreme attention shown them, the party ended by greatly enjoying their promenade. But at one moment M. Turquet chanced to address the. el- derly lady, who spoke French, by the way,:with a strong English accent, as Fatal Results of a Long -Kept Secret. The Dubuque (Ia.) Times relates the following story: A wealthy couple here had lived together in perfect peace for forty-one years. While sitting in the parlor one evening, not long ago, the husband surprised the wife by say- ing, "I am going to tell you . a secret you have never heard before." There was a brief pause, as the lady and a near relative who chanced to be present awaited. the disclosure, and the hus- band continued: "You will be sur- prised to hear that I had another wife before I married you." Startled and aghast, the wife asked, "Am I then not your lawful wife?" "You are my loved and. lawful wife," was the prompt re, ply. "My first wife died four years be- fore I came to Dubuque and met you." Then he related how he had married his first wife and been sum- moned to his home to find her dead. Then he went west and settled in Du- buque, where the second romance of his life came about. Six years ago he re- ceived. a letter from the woman who had nursed his first wife. She wrote that she was upon her deathbed, and could not rest until she had confessed her share in a base crime. The wife had died, but she had left an infant son. Through- a 'large bribe proffered by the dead woman's father the hus- band was told that the child had died with its mother. The father was wealthy, but his. daughter's death left him childless, and he took this means of supplying himself with a son. His real father was anxious to see him, and the second wife was thus told the truth for the first time, and asked to go east and pay the first wife's son a visit. When the story was told the wife said in low tones: "Since you kept it from me so long, I would rather you had. never re- peatedit." 'The excitement caused by the lecitaie provedd f al. In two days she was dead. • Great Westesin Railway. Trains leave Brussels station, north and south as under': GOING NORTH. GOING SOUTH. Mixed.. ....EJ:25 A. M. Mail 6:16 A. M. Amen_ .... 9:08 P. M.
