I saw it distinctly, and wondered, but did not trouble myself any further about it. When I remembered it afterwards, scales seenied to fail frotn my eyes. then I saw in the child bnly the daughter of a woman of nobles birth, a future countess, lady of the court, or something of that kind. The hand - ore dan- ountess, Ilse or e young some youth seemed to me no gerous than he did to the who heard of my visitor fron myself. But who can read the people's secrets ? Ilse came still more frequentlje during the fortnight that Ernest spent with us, and they talked frankly together about various things. He was an enthusiastic admirer of Grillparzer, and declaimed certain passages to her, while she listen- ed with sparkling eyes, and promised to read his works. Whether they said anything else 'beside the crackling fire in Line's cosy little room, I don't know; no one could have, watched the pair more unsuspiciously than L Then he went away. He shook my hand with unusual warmth, and prom- ised to come back soon, But Ilso seem- ed to me to have grown taller, and her eyes sparkled with a brighter light. She was more quiet, than usual as she sat with my wire sewing on her Christ -ruts gifts. If she had 'qormerly sometimes made an arrogant little remark; as though conscious of her aristocratic birth, she now said nothing about these things, but once she made an observa- tion somewhat to this effect : That nobility was inherent in the individual; it came from the soul. Inherited escut- cheons were no guarantee of a noble -nature. "Good heavens !" cried. Line, greatly startled. "Pray, don't say that to your mother, Countess Ilse." The young girl raised her eyes, and asked earnestly " Why not ? I have courage to say much more ?" "Well," Line answered in a jesting tone, "you will think differently in six weeks, when you have whirled over the polished floor of the palaces with the young princes." " Who knows?" she answered, softly. So the joyous Christmas festival ap proached. The day before the holy eve I saw Maruschka in the street, groaning under the weight of two huge boxes. " Well, well," said I, " the Christ child is liberal 1" "They are for Countess Ilse," replied the old woman. " All sorts of things, an outfit big enough for a bride, and a fir -tree that will touch the ceiling too." At the corner of the postoffice I met Countess Ilse herself. On seeing me, she seemed inclined to turn into a side street. Then her little hand hastily slipped a letter into her grey fur muff, while her sweet face flushed crimson under the bine veil wound around her little bounet. Well, everybody has secrets at Christmas -tide. She gave me her left hand, and looked past me into a shop -window. I could feel her slender fingers tremble. come this evening as usual, dear doctor, and bring you the marchpane heart. I'll be at your house at six, Mamma doesn't give me her presents till eight."

"Because," was the reply, " when I am not in. the one, it will always be concluded by the chari- table that I am in the. other." —" No," said an actor the other day " I can't say the critics have ever said anything unkind about my acting-; but, to tell you the truth, it is somewhat monotonous to find myself continually included among the rest of the char- acters' who do not call for special mention." —Papa remarked (soberly) —" That was quite a monstrosity you had in the parlor last everting."

At a concert given on the ship he was the presiding genius. He opened the even- ing with numerous anecdotes of his earlier days. Among 'others he told how he once bought a magnificent coach -dog, for which he paid fifty dollars. He said he was beautifully marked, but unfortu- nately he was caught in a heavy shower on the day after he bought him, when, presto ! he was changed into an ordinary cur, the spots having been ingeniously painted upon him. He acknowledged the sale, but said his clerk had forgot- ten to send the umbrella which always went with the dog, as he could not stand the rain. BY S. SOLIgtr-coHEN. Shall the mole,1 from his night underground, call the beasts froiii the day -glare to flee! Shall the -owl charge the birds : "1 am wise. Go to ! Seek the shadows with me 1" Shall a man bind his eyes and exclaim: "It is vain that men weary to see?" Let him walk in the gloorn who GO will. Peace be with him ! But whence is his right To assert that the world is in darkness, because he has turned from the light Or to seek to o'erahadow my day with the pall of his self -chosen night? I have listened, like David' great son, to the voice of the beast and the bird To the voice of the trees and the g-rass ; yea, a voice from the stones I have heard; And the sun and the moon, and the stars in their courses re.echo the word ! And one word speak the bird and the beast, and the hyssop that springs in the wall, And the cedar that lifts its proud head upon Lebanon,istately and tall, And the reeks, and the sea, and the stars, and "Know 1" is the message of all. For the answer has ever been nigh unto him who would question and learn Row to bring the stars near to his gaze, in what orbits the planets must turn ; Why the apple must fall from the bough, what the fuel that sue -fires burn. Whence came life? In the -rocks is it writ, and no Finger hath graven it there? Whence came light? Did its motions arise with- out bidding? Will science declare That the law ruling all hath upsprung from No - mind, that abideth Nowhere? "Yea, I know!" cried the true man of old. And whooe'er wills it may know. "My Redeemer existeth 1" I seek for a sign of his presence, and, lo! As ha spoke to the light, and it was, so he speaks to my soul, and I know! —The Century. Beecher Interrupted. A pretty good story is told at the ex- pense of Henry Ward Beecher. In one of his lectures .he referred, as he Was ac- customed to do, to a domestic scene which occurred .when he was a, boy in Litchfield, Conn. His father was one day visiting a parishioner, and noticed in his pasture a particularly fine-looking calf. Referring to its excellent quali- ties, the farmer, knowing the character of the animal, said, Dr. Beecher, you may have that calf if you can catch him." The minister at once accepted the challenge, and when Lyman Beecher set for himself a task he usually accom- plished it. Without much referenee to ministerial dignity, he succeeded in running the calf down. Tying his legs, he carried him home in his wagon, and placed him securelyin the barn. Telling the family of the advertture, Henry started for the barn to see the frisky animal. With the usual careless- ness of a boy, he permitted the cog to escape from the barn. His father, see- ing the condition of things, started hat- less on a race for the fugitive calf. Here Henry Ward stopped a moment, to re cover the application he proposed to make, when a. person arose in the audi- ence and said with a startling voice, "Henry Ward Becher, that is just what you have always been doing— letting loose what your father carefully and wisely kept . shut up !" This was an unexpected but apt application read- ily appreciated by the audience.—Zion's Herald.

Payn asked him why he THE I-tUROill EXPOSITOR. He kept a sharp look -out behind and whistled like mad around the curves. At length he entered upon the long, straight level line of road which ex- tended clear to Blankton. Dave breathed freer. It was the home-stretch—a good ten -mile run. Hardly had he congratulated himself, -when far behind—but unmistakably—he heard the scream of the " Lightning's " whistle. He was going already at his topmost speed. Be was making not more than thirty-five miles an hour, while the " Lightning " was coming on at the rate of sixty. With horror he heard it gaining on him; the next whistle was nearer, and at length when he had made only two-thirds the dis- tance the gleam of its head -light came shooting round a wooded curve in his *ear. } Out of the very 'despair of the mo- nient Dave gathered calmness. He turned his back on the pursuing train, he cast DO look behind, he shut his ears to its on -coming roar; looked straight ahead, kept his eye on the track, his mind on his duty. He is almost there—he is there, he dashes past the station -house, across the switch and down at last upon the side track. It is all right. Jake and Jim are there. They have threwn the switch back in time; and the " Lightning " goes whizzing and shrieking past. When Jake jumped aboard the "Meteor," his son fainted dead away in his arms. Huntington's Butter. —Collins P. Huntington, the railway magnate, whose ambition is to span the continent with steel, has pretty nearly accomplished what has been, One might say, the object of his life. Joining to- gether roads which he controls, he has a continuous line from San Francisco to Hampton Roads. He counts up his wealth, all in all, at a round $50,000,000. Put with it, in the enterprises he is in- terested in, are the riches of Charles Crocker'ex-Governor Leland Stanford and the Mark Hopkins estate footing up a grand total of $106,000,600. Hun- tington is the master -mine which directs the power that all this wealth can wield. He is 63 years old, but vigorous as an oak. .-• .•sesse , Hlintington has a will of iron, but he can Telex and be as genial as ana.n who has nothing in the wide world to do but make himself agreeable., Years and years ago he kept a general store in Sacramento, which is now a mammoth metal concern. One day la trader came in from a mining camp to buy stores, and among other things he wanted but- ter. Huntington had several tubs brought from Orange county, the famous butter producing region of New York. The miners had all the good things that money would buy, and the storekeeper from the mining camp was bound to take back the best he could find "1 want some -bang-up butter," was the way the storekeeper from the camp signified his desire. Well." said Huntington, "here is sorhe all the way from New York State, the real gebuine Orange County article." Eilintington ran the trier down to the bottom of the tub, and the storekeeper raanhis noste along it when it was pulled out. A Runaway Train. There is a story in the June Wide' Awake of a boy, the 15 year old Sort of a locomotive engineer, who had ;often ridden with his father and "knew the engine pooty well." Indeed the engi- neer had frequently let the boy "drive" on a long stretch of straight track. One night he left " Dave " in charge of the engine on a siding, while he went to supper as usual. There came up a furious wind ; _and, after a little, some cars shot by without any engine. The wind had started them. Boy, -think quick! Down grade! The Lightning Express is to come that way ! Nobody near. No telegraph . wire. The trains are headed together. There is less than an hour to catch those run- away cars and pull them out of the way. No time for hesitation! He springs to the lever, picks up speed and tears away with grade and wind and steam like a whizzing arrow. They, are miles ahead. The rushing minut sion. temp ing the take too la Offs story -t He m are full of sudden comprehen- He almost sees through the dark, stuous night. What set bit fly - ward this plunge was thought of Lightning Express. Now danger hold of him. What if he is just ! The runaway train is in sight! am. No, ler tell th st slow again ! Let the rest. but do it so nicely that, whe he es come up with them, there shall be the least possible shock; for here is the hardest part of the busi- ness. He has nobody to help him to " coaple." He must be, for the nonce'both engineer and switchman. He had not thought what a formidable job this was until it stared him in the face. On he flew revolving the situation in his head and adjusting his engine with the nicest care until he was upon the very heels of the runaway; then, with many misgivings, alipped out of the en- gine house and crawled along the side of the locomotive, and down on the "cow- catcher." Here, seizing the long coupler in one hand and holding on with the other, he stood watching with breathless interest the approaching eollision. The sus- pense was agonizing. The situation was perilous. A gust of wind might eweep him from his place, he might be shaken off or crushed. He was almost panic-stricken. A dozen times he was at the ,point of turn- ing back. To his etartled ears the air was full of uncanny sounds—the sweep of another tornado, the rush of the " Lightnibg " just ahead. But he had in him the stuff which heroes are made of. The hero, remember, is not he who is insensible to danger, but rather he who feels and realizes, but yet overcomes it. The " Meteor " drew nearer and near- er the flying train. Dave had used ex- cellent judgment in regulating its speed; for at length it came up with the rear car with scarcely a shock, so that Dave could reach over and drop in the pin. Then clambering back into the engine - house with trembling eagerness he seized the "throttle." To his amazement the train did not stop. Instead of the " Meteor's " stopping the runaway, the runaway dragged the " Meteor " 'along in its headlong flight. Dave was horror- struck. He had thought the train would atop at once. He had not calculated what a tremendous impetus all those heavy cars had acquired. Now, then, the tussle! The train be- gan to slow up. It came to a stand- still. Then the backward pull. Slowly they got under way ; but the wind and up -grade were against them. Dave began to get anxious. "The Lightning"must be due by this time. 411 IMPORTANT NOTICES. it WANTED—Wanted a man to work on a 1,,Vi farm. Must be steady and thoroughly ac uain ed with all kinds of- farm work.

"Yes," said Huntington, going to an- other tub of the very same kind of but- ter. He knew the storekeeper would not be satisfied if he did not show some- thing better, and he was equal to the occasion. "Here's some for 50 cents," said Hun- tington as he drew the trier out, and the storekeeper's nose followed it from one end to the other. "Now, that's a little like it," said the storekeeper, "hut," he added with a wink, "come now, hain't you get some- thing that the flies won't settle on, that's fur -lined and hair -topped. There's noth- ing too good for us, and we've got the dust to pay for it." "Yes," again said Huntington. "Here's something that we don't often being out." The trier went down into the third tub of the same lot, and the storekeeper's nose followed the line of butter for the third time. " How much is she assessed at ?" asked the storekeeper. as he looked affection- ately on the butter. "Sixty-five cents a pound."

The boys at Harrow all wear white straw hats with very wide brims, which they call "straws."These have either blue or black ribbons around their crewels, and an elastic, such as little girls wear on their hate, which the boys pull dewn a little way over their hair at the back of their heads. It cannot be of muoh use; but then, I suppose, Her- rovians have always wont it, and so they still keep it, just as the Blue -Coate keep their yellow stockings. The cricket "Eleven," who are looked up to as the most important beings in Harrow, if not in the World, are distinguished from the others by their white -and black"straws." The boys wear these hats all the year around, in winter as well as summer, changing them on Sundays for tall silk hats. The younger boys wear black jackets; but the older ones have coats made like dresscoats, and with these they wear any waist coats and trousers they like, so they always look as if they were in half evening dress. These coats, in the school slang, are always known as "tails." A story is told about them. Once, on a- very dark night, the head master saw about half a dozen boys com- ing out of the village inn, where they had been positively forbidden to go. He could not see their faces, and as they all ran as soon as he spoke to them, he only succeeded in seizing one of the number. Pulling out his knife, he cut off a tail from this boy's coat and let him go, say- ing, "Now, sir, you may go home. I will know you in class to -morrow morn- ing by this." The next morning came, and the head master waited at his desk, ready to punish his victim with great severity ; for the offense was counted a very serious one. But when the boys of his form came in and passed, one by one, by his desk, each had but a single tail to his coat. They all had ruined their " tails" to save their "friend.—St. Nicholas, side.
