His face light ed like a withered melon in the af ternoon sun on it. “No,” he chuckled, taking, another pinch, and digging his friend in the riba. “On—the—contrary.

Far above and on each side of him rose the eternal hills, their ice-clad peaks at the present moment rosy- pink with the sun’s parting rays. But up from the green valleys gray- blue shadows were creeping and driving the pink away. Far beneath him were hills and valleys, a village and a lake, and a streamlet meandering through a dark pine wood. Very beautiful all of it But its beauty was entirely lost upon Von Hausen as he sat there on his Rtohe thinking aloud after the manner of solitary men who are well up in years. He cared no more for the scenery than aid any of those bats that, like birds of evil omen, went sweeping past him, and round and round his head. “Vlfbueialways triumphant!” ,he, was saying—^Pah! mere sentiment, mere moonshine.” The.-fact is, Von Hausen had been to the play in the village down yondef only the evening be fore. . He had spent no less .a.gpm" than twenty bntzen on those stroll ing actors. Nor for any pleasure it wasfffcelyto glvehim had-hegone, but Gretty, the prettiest girl in all the village, had asked him to take her. She could not go alone, she said, and Rudolph would hardly return from chamois-hunting for days to come. “Virtue always triumphant. Yes, that is what she said. Pah! money is. Ha! ha! And I have that. Oh! my worthy but poverty-struck Ru dolph, you may return when you please; Gretty will marry Von Hausen. Old? Eh? Who calls me old?” He took snufT as he spoke from an old horn, sending the powder hodta with his finger point, and it must be confessed he looked any thing but handsome as he did so, for he wrinkled^his <bro\vs and' twinkled hia eyes,,, and leered- like an aged baboon. “Old ? Let me see: 70 last birth day. Merely in my prime. ' Ten years more and Fll be only 80, twenty, and I’ll J>e but 90; then I, may grow old. Eagles renew their ages. Why should— ta Aha!” he screamed, “yonder is an eagle!” He started up as he spoke, and with eyes turned skywards and Auger pointing up, began tottering forward, step by step, towards—de struction. He was on the brink of it—the next step would have been his last. But a rough hand seized him by the coat collar, pulling it up till his head sank within, like a monk’s in his cowl, bat dragging the old man back at the same time. “Tired of your sinful life, old bird ?” said the newcomer, a rough but good natured chamoise huuter, with gun in hand and bag on back, a morsel of leather stuck jauntily in his hat, just to show the village maidens, he used to say, that Berne- zell was still a bachelor. “Old bird?” growled Von Han sen, reseating himself on his stone. “Who are you catling an old bird? You’re as bad as any one else Humph!” ~ “Wen,, L. say,” said -Bernezell, “this is gratitude! What are you going to'give me for saving your neck,**?”, “N«ck? What? Oh, yes, to.be are. We’ll go down to the village, and Fll pay for a pot qf lager.” “A pot of lager!” cried the other laughing. “Is that all the riloe youputepon yonr—Ha! ha! ha!” “Marry you “Ay, she has pfomised—that is, she will promise when I ask her. But now come along down and have the lager. Keep your hands to yourself. Do you think I want your assistance to get up?” “I beg a thousand pardons, old hi—I mean you merry youug grouse, you! Here, I say hold on; don’t leave me behind. Why, you go founding along like a youne stag.” ‘’Young on the legs, eh?” “I should think you are.” ! They were seated very shortly ia the village tavern. They hadn’t taken long to go down tne hill. “And now,” said Van Hausen, “I am going to unfold my plans. Rut Here, let us have another out- print.” . : “What can the old heron mean,” mattered Bernezell to himself, “by such reckless ; liberality? , Some thing in the wind,- I know, p'he gray hawk doesn’t whistle till he is just going to.swoop.” ,.“Well,’’ said Von Hausen, “and hosy is trade, eh ? Got good hags lately?”' ' ' f ‘ “Hardly any any. luck at ail,” sighed the other. “Pm stiff with jumping, and I haven’t bagged buck for five days-” “Wouid’t mind having a spell of pleasure, I daresay? couple of months in France, now? Come, cime, you’re not driuking. We’ll have another pint. Money was made to spend. Drink and be mer ry, yoa young dog, you, I say.” When quite unfolded, Von Hau sen’s‘plans-were .about as follows: Bernezelle was to meet Rudolph in the hills and prevent his return ing for a couple of months at least. He was on no account to come near the village for that time, nor see Gretty,' to whom he was betrothed. The “old bird,” as Barnezell called him, was to pay all expenses but the young man mustbe - kept in Paris; In the midst of gayety, and must never for a moment be allow ed to think -of home. Nor must he write or when he did . his. letters '4'wer<Me besdeStroyed- -. .. “Suppose,’said: i Bernezell, “he misses his foothold among the mountains and tumbles into a crev asse?” .... “Capital! capital! capital!” was ail he could say. “Ha! ha! ha! Capital! Virtue is always trium phant in the end. He! he!” Bernezell smiled in his face as he said: “Of all the old sinners that ever said ” “Eh? eh? What’s that? cried Von Hausen, who had not heard him. “1 said you were a right merry old soul,” shouted Bernezell. “Ha! ha! Yes, merry, but not so old, you know.” That very night this miserly Von Hausen counted out to Bernezell one by one the pieces of gold, for thq chamois hunter was to start the early next day.^ j “I declare,” §aid Von Hausen, “it ill like buying a wife. Precions ex pensive- affair. Bat I can trust yon.” “Certainly. Virtue, you know, is always—" - . ... ; “Goon! go! cried Von Hausen. Good night Go home and sleep.” “Go home and sleep indeed,” said Bernezell to himself, as he trudged off with his gun on his shoulder. ‘Yes; but not before Pve seen Gret ty.” Once clear of the village, he took his way hillways up the glen. High up in the-middle of the mountain lights were gleaming—it was now dark; they came from the windows of Gretty’s cottage. A very humble hut it was, though, very pretty and rustic. Gretty liv ed here with her mother, tended the goats and looked after the diary for the old woman seldom left her chair ail day. Gretty ran to meet Bernezell, and took both his rongh hands in her own wee white one. Was he not a friend of her lover’s ? She led him in, and the old man nodded, smil ing at a stool near the bright, cheerful fire of wood. Gretty had just dressed foe. the evening; and very simple jincl. .Meat was her attire. She wasshght and delicate In forte, with sparkling eyes and an eager pretty face. She asked fifty questions of Ber- nezeil, nearly all on tbe sum sub ject; and irheii the-chamois hunter bade the mother goodnight at last, and went away, he beckoned Gretty to follow. “He has got something to tell me said Gretty to heesett, her fsir face flashing with anxiety. Very humble ate the heroes of this little tale, but in Gretty’s eyes Rudolph was by no means humble. No young man in all the glen was so tall, fresh and rosy, so stalwart and strong as Rndolph, goat herder though he was. None had so beau tiful & voice, so white a brow, such glossy hair. None could bound from crag to crag, or climb .the mountain - steep, axe in hand, so bravely as he did, and his wild elou- glou at sunrise or sunset, and re echoed too from peak to peak. And Gretty, simple lassie, loved dearly and devotedly. There was a scimitar moon shin ing through the pine-tree tops, and the stars were all out, so there was light enough to see the footpath that lod’to the ; well. Here was a seat, and "Bernezell did not say a word, anxious though Gretty was, until he got there. . The truth is,- this honest chamois-hunter hardly- knew what to sdy, or how much he dare in fair ness to tell the girl. I Probabjy he ought,to have thrown the miser’s money in his face, and stigmatized him as a villian, and re- fused^te have anything to'do’with his plans and schemes. “But;” he thought, “if I do, my friend’s life is hot worth a day’s purchase. Murder has been committed among these mountains before; an assassin is easily hired. No, I’ll take the cash, anil Fit -keep Rudolph away for a time I shall not spend the money, though I have . a brother in- Paris who will oe glad to see us. And the gold I’ll send as a gift to Gretty’s mother when her daughter is mar ried. She will not know where it came from, and It will keep her in oomfort for years.” “Gretty, ray Uttla.si3ter,” he Said when tliiy Were seitied by the well, “you won’t see nor hear from your lover for two whole months. He is well and will be well.' He and I are going together. It will be for your good—at least for your mother’s. I caniiot tell you more. Nay, I pray you do not ask. My mouth is seal ed. You’ll be true?” There were tears and prayers and entreaties, yet Bernezell remained firm as the rocks that towered over them; but when he left the nextday to 9eek his friend in the hills, he carried.with him a lock of .bonnie hair in a tiny -parcel.-and Reside it the blue ribbon that had bbnnd it. Rudolph was rejoiced at the idea of going to Paris, but couldn’t he go and see .Gretty first? No, there wasn’t an hour to'lose. He must at once come or stay. “Then Fll go,” said the young man. “I can trust Gretty.”- “You may,.indeed.” '/ “And what a deal Til have to tell her when I Jo get: back.” 1 “Yes,” said Bernezell, laughiug. So away they went over the hills. Old Von Hansen was a friend of Gretty’s mother. Gretty’s father and he had been inseparables. He came to the cottage now every day. He read to the old lady and talked riuch with the daughter. His iltli- .-ersal themes were money a<0> mverty—the pleasures the former jould bring; the misery entailed by the latter. He broached the subject nearest his heart first to the mother, and strange or not strange, h e gained her consent to marry'Gretty.. •Meanwhile weeks-flew by, and there was no word from Rudolph. Weeks and a month, and then two; Oh! what has become of him? Was he false? Impossible! But a terrible storm with a. light shock of earthquake took-place, and all Gretty’s goats appeared to have stampeded during the night. Atail events the doore were found open and tne goats had fallen or been cast over a precipice near tne cot tage. Near that dear old well where able had plighted her troth she must now sit and weep. Ah! it was the mourntnl tale of Auld Robin Gray repeating itself. For Gretty’s *; Mother she fell sick; . poverty stared them in the face, and they were beholden to the charity of Von Hausen, the miser. By night as well as by day Gretty toiled-hard with her knitting-need les. Work was the only consola tion,-the-only relief, she could find. And'her face grew wan, and dark circles appeared about her beantitnl eyes. What can be harder to bear than grief and poverty too! Many montli9 went by, and still no lover returned. Von Hausen had heard that he was dead; that did not ada-to Gret ty’s grief. Some one else heard he was married. This was worse, but she bore it. Meanwhile where were the tru ants? Bernezell had found his brother ailing, and at the end of a month medical men had prescribed a voy age to Madeira. They would just get back within five weeks; then they would both return to the dear little cot among the Swiss moon- tains, and Radolph would many his Gtietfy. Hare at Madeira Berne- aeD’s We aretariflthy now, alas!” said Bernezell, “and we’ll go shares.” The steamer that was to take them to France was a week behind time. One day, “Yonder she is!” shouted Rudolph, -and off they both went, an^veaRfbundled on board. The -hip^Hnin|ut an hour, then ste ? me *ixSBp* io ’ 1x1 urK * for the clistaat^^BHuhey had boarded There v <£tPe a day when in the lijtle cot among the hills Gretty sat weeping by her mother’s bedside, and near her stood Von Hansen. The doctor had just gone./. Nothing, he had s«id, except a change, would save the pattwifg Hfe.- “Now, Gretty, my child, now or never,” cried the old man. “Be my wife. Give me the right to save your mother’s life. Gretty- be mine.” Gretty’s mother did not speak, but— She gazed in Gretty’s face till her heart was like to break. Gretty stood up—tearless now, but with sad pale face. She took her mother’s hand. ■ “Give me the the right to save yonr mother’s life,” pleaded the miser once again,” “Stay”’ cried a manly voice, “I have a prior claim.” Next moment With a loud cry, and color in her cheek once more. Gretty was press ed to her lover’s breast. That day three weeks, dinkle— dinkle—dinkle dank went the vil lage bells. Not pretty belfs at all —indeed I always thought they were pot metal—but how sweetly they sounded in Gretty’s ears! She was going to church to be married. That ends my story, as marriage ends all stories. Yet one word: A few years after this the old miser died and Rudolph found timseif his heir. “As some reparation,” said the will, for evil done and meditated.” ( She tot ail the Sews. •is your mother at home, bub? iggnired It lady as she walked up to a house on the North Side one day lari week, and found a small boy wfth an old campaign hat on, sitting on the steps and shooting pebbles at a dog over the way with a rubber- constracted Gatling gun of hiis own manufacture. “No’um, she’s jis gone to the gro cery to git some codfish for dinner,” replied the boy, punctuating his re mvks with snuffles, “ ’coz this haint oar day for meat We only has it twicet a week nqw, coz shg’s savin’ money to buy a new ; cloak- O’Donovon Rossa did not appear Rules of Conduct.

Neither he nor his wife are very smart, as will be seen by the following incident. Last night Sam heard a noise under his bed. “There is somebody under the bed,” said Sam to his wife. “It’s Fido; I guess.” “No, I think it’s a burglar,” re plied Sam. “Just reach your hand down and if it is Fido he will lick it.” The burglar, for it was one after ail, overheard the conversation, and when Sam reached his hand down the burglar licked it all over Very affectionately. This was entirely satisfactory, and they both went to sleep, but when they woke up next morning there was not much left in the house that was worth carrying off. He Was tot a Working Man. A few mornings ago a tramp ap plied at a house in Austin Avenne for some breakfast. “Go into the back yard and chop up a tew armful is of firewood, and Pit give your breakfast.” “Well, if my breakfast is ready, I don’t see why I should work for it” “It will not be yonr breakfast un til you cut some wood.” “Cut wood!
