A-fter the Storm.

“Hark I what Is that
Leyton grasped the arm of ills friond
as ho spoke, a ad both pansed to baton.
From the low- walled hut before which
they were standing the sound was re
peated.
Tho speaker loosened bis grasp with a
sigh of relief.
“Why, bless yon ! it’s Lite,” he said.
“W T hat music the little organ is making
to-night.”
‘Toor little blind girl! How much
comfort sbo takes with it," remarked his
companion.
“Yes. When these miners bonght
that little music box they mode a good
investment. Listen 1”
The music had begun again. At first
it camo stealing out with such a low,
plaintive sound, ono might easily have
fancied that it was only tho night wind
crecpiug softly round the walls of the
little eubiu; then it swelled into some
thing louder, deeper and more solemn;
but there was a subtle, yet indefinable
something iu its nature which caused
the listeners to thrill with exultation
and grow cold with dread. It seemed
os though a spirit more than mortal, had
taken possession of tho little instrument,
and through its deep voice was breathing
out a prophecy of approaching disaster.
Leyton felt a sudden breeze against
his cheek and noticed, with alarm, that
a dark storm-cloud had arisen in the
west. There had been one storm sinco
his arrival from tho East, and he dreaded
to seo another. A heavy sigh at his el
bow’ caused both men to turn in that di
rection. Lame Joe had come np noise
lessly behind them and stood leaning
against a rock. He, too, was listening
and wiping an occasional tear from his
aye; for the mnsio had grown sad and
dirge-like as a funeral hymn, with a
lingering, a quivering anguish echoing
through it which betokoned that the
soul of the musician was speaking
through her music.
J But, even as they listened, the char
acter of the melody slowly underwent a
complete transformation, and from the
depths of sorrow and despair it burst
forth in a glad, exultant strain—a wild,
free flood of music. It was like the
triumphant song of some capture bird
which has beaten long its weary wings
against the iron bars of a cruel prison-
house, but, finding itself at liberty again,
breaks forth into song aa it wings its
way toward heaven, above the clouds
and storms.
That was tho end.
Leyton and Mark Spencer passed on
The little gill’s present mood seemed tc
them too sacred for intrusion; but lamo
Joe stopped for tho good-night kiss
which the child was accustomed to be
stow upon him.
Poor old Joe ! he was very lame. One
leg had been left upon the battlefield of
Fredericksburg, and it* substitute was a
rude woodon stump; but such M it vras,
he would gladly have worn it to splinters
it Lita Cohen’* tervioe, had the child
permitted it.
In spite of bis nffiiotion Joe Minion
was a genial old man, with a kind won!
and helping hand for everybody ; yet
half the miners in that little camp could
have told of a time when (here won not
a more intemperate man or harder char
acter among them ail than lie. That was
before the dentil of bis wife, tidings of
which had l*een a terrible blab. Like a
thunderbolt, it had sundered The barriers
of pride and selfishness and penetrated
bis iron heart.
Lita was oomforter then. It was sbo
who took him in hand, and petted and
talked with him nntil his companions
began to notice with wonder that he was
growing into a very different man ; for
sorrow had made the child (sympathetic,
and her strong influence ovor Joe wns in
a great measure duo to this foot.
When John Oobcn wns killed by the
falling of a bowlder, Lita, little more
than a bnbothen, had become an adopted
child of the oarnp. Later, when an ac
cident shut out forever tho light from
her beautiful eyes, sho seemed suddenly
U> have grown ueurer and dearer to nneb
one and to licfiomo the object of especial
care; yet, in spite of their kindness,
there wero times when she grew sad aud
lonesome. Bho used then to fly for con
solation to her dear friend, tho liltlo
organ, and draw from its bosom a melo
dious response to her mood.
In strong contrast with the gray nnd
faded old woman who was her attendant,
or tho bronzed, weather-beaten men
about her, was this child of seven years.
Like a rare, sweet blossom she was
growing up in that wild plaoe with,*
halo ot beauty nnd purity about her
venng life that eommniided almost
adoration from the few rough, yet kind
hearted people.
Nature was kindly, too. The eun
never kissed her soft little ohecks too
roughly, and its most scorching ray only
added a brighter tint to tho long, fair
hair whieh bung ini wave*, beloiy \yj
waist, the pride nndf^dmiratiou of he
friends. .apt
Yet it was hard, even Tor a stranger,
to look unmoved upon tho groat blue
eyes, so pathotio in their blindness, and
know that Lita Cohen could never seo
dering why she looked so pale to-night
and dung so tightly around his neck at
parting.
He felt a strahgo chill pass over him
whenever he thought of the mnalo, but,
by-and-by, he fell asleep aud forgot it
all.
Tho threntonod storm como; such a
tempest ns had not swept tho valley
sinoe its settlement, five years before.
But the sun shone out brightly the next
morning, and there was one, at least,
who hailed its advent with a sigh of ro-
liof; that ono was Joe Minion. Crushed,
braised and sorely wounded, he dragged
himself from n heap of debriH and looked
about him. No ono was stirring. Near
ly all the others had ehosen safer places
than he and were sleeping soundly, now
that the wild strife whieh had taken
place eo lately between the dements had
ceased.
How wob it with littlo Lita ? With an
effort poor Joe sat up and lookod.
Where hod stood a dwelling-place
last night waB only a heap of rains
now.
‘Lita I Lita I” called the old man pit
eously, but there camo no auswer.
On his hands, with all liis remaining
strength musterod into tho effort, ho
crept to the spot. No child was there.
Blowly, every breath a pain almost un
endurable, ho drew himself to tho top of
a log to look. He saw her, aud wns uot
long in gaining tho spot.
Taking ono limphnnd in his and clasp
ing it tightly, he sank down at her side,
though there waa a smile upon his face;
the pain was all over. Ho hod followed
his littlo friend in her loug, long
journey, had gone into that other coun
ty
A little later tho minors, owakenod
by the faithful Nnnuon, who had just
recovered sufficiently to ernwl from the
ruins, began a search for the missing.
Away beyond the scattered remains of
tho cabin they found them—tho two so
•irangely contrasting; one so old aud
gray, tho other like n gleam of light as
she lay upon a bed of tangled grass aud
ibhdng sand, tlio pallor of death upon
tier fair/ yrinng 'face, aud 'the glory of
tho sunshine in her goldou hair.

again.
I think Lita herself minded it most
after Warren, the poet of tho camp, bad
been telling hor of tho rugged grandeur
of tho country about them, and de
scribed the singular beauty of the flowers
which lie brought her day after day, or
when one of her big, burly friends laid
in her band tho pictures of the children
—tho children whom she had learned to
lovo ns brothers and sisters. She bad
known about them all a long time, over
sinco sho could remember, and (hey
often sent her friendly messages and
little presents which sho used to sit
bolding in her hands, a strange wistful-
nesB in tho big blue eyes, a great acho
in the little tendor boart, at thought that
she must always feel but could never
see.
The little girl cared a great deal about
all her friends; but lame Joe was her
prime favorite, perhaps because ho was
lnmo. ne had grown lamer than ever
of late, and was failing very fast; yet
nobody had told Lita of it; nobody
could bear to broak tho news to her.
She used to sit at bis side by the hour,
listening to him or repeating the ohildisb
stories which Warron had read to her.
Ono day while sbo was sitting tlrns, pat
ting his wrinkled cheeks with her soft
bauds, she stopped suddenly, with a puz
zled look in her face, as though a new
thought had struck her.
“The men say that the mines of this
district don’t pay well enough,, and they
will shortly break up and go into an
other country. What will you and I do
then, Uncle Joe?”
A tear trickled down the old map’s
wan cheek. He, too, waa thinking of a
journey into another country, and it
wrenched his heart-strings to think of
leaving Lita behind, but he wiped away
tho bright drops with the ragged sleevo
of his coat, and choking down the sob
in his throat made answer :
“Yon will go with them, Lita, my
child.”
“And you, too, Uncle Joe. What
would you do here without me ?” she
asked, laughingly, as she clung tighter
to his hand.
“Not much, to be sure, little one—
uot much. ” He stroked her long, silken
hair tenderly, wishing that he might be
able to tell her what no one else wanted
to; but ho bad not the courage, and
presently tho little girl said :
“It is getting chilly, Uncle Joe; let’s
go in.”
But tho old man wont away and did
not seo her again until evening. Ho
bade her “good night,” and slowly fol
lowed the retreating forms of the two
gentlemen, Leyton nnd Spencer, won-

General Gordon advises tho appoint
ment of Zobolir Faclia to succeed him
self as Governor of tho Soudan. Dr.
Bcliwoiufiu'th gives a vivid description
of a visit paid to Zobelir Faoha in 1871.
Zobehr possesses a lino of thirty forti
fied posts, reaching far into tho heart of
Africa, by means of which he had not
only become the bead of all (bo slave
dealers, bnt was tho real nnd sole chief
of their country. The Khedive, pow
erless to control this formidable vassal,
bad sent bis troops to join him iu an ex
pedition against tho Bultan of Darfour,
Unfortunately for himself, Zobehr wont
down to Cairo to assort his claim to bo
made Governor of that province, carry
ing with him, it is said, £100,000 to bo
used as bribes. He was detained at
Cairo, and put upon the pension list
with £100 a month. A messago from
Zobehr forwarded to his son and tho offi
cers who had sworn fidelity to him under
tho great tree at Bhaka, as described by
Colonel Gordon, produced a speedy re
volt among tho slave dealers. It was
this revolt which was crushed by Gessi
Pacha, who shot Suleiman. Zobehr’s
son. Ho also slew all his officers except
ono, who escaped, and is now supposed
by some to bo the Mahdi.
Zobelir wns kept as a State prisoner
at the capital. Ten years passed. An
other pretender annihilated the Egyp
tian forces and menaced Egypt itself
with invasion. Then tho officials at
Cairo, being manifestly without re
sources, applied to tho distinguished
captive. Would he go back to his home ?
Would he summon his faithful Nubians
to his standard ? Would he for pity’s
sake do something to stay the advance
of this fanatical plague ? Yes. He would
do all this, no would lead, in the Khe
dive’s name, the Black Contingent of the
Soudan expeditionary force. Very good,
said the Ministers; but leave us, pray,
your wife and daughter as hostages—
shall we say ’—for your good behavior.
Yes. By all means, said Zobehr. Keep
them and welcome. But secretly he
sent off his spouse to Buakim; not so se
cretly, however, but that the Vizier
heard’of it, and so Zobehr himself was
arrested. However, he wft afterward
set free again.

advices from London state that the lost
annual register of imports into the
United States shows, during a period of
twelvo months, an import of jewels to
tho amount of $12,000,000, of which
$10,000,000 may bo safely considered to
go for diamonds, so that- £4,000,000

Life Insurance in England.
Dr. J. P. Saye
Tho ohjeotionablo features of lifo in-
suraueo nudor certain conditions form a
lending article in ono of the English
weeklies. It is directed chiefly against
tho mntnnl assurance associations and
burial clubs which arc moro common
nmong tlio working-peoplo on that than
on this side of tho Atlantic, When tho
person who iB to rcocivo the bounty has
no dependence for support upon tho
person dying, insurance is considered
morally objectionable. This is often’tbo
case, for infants and aged pooplo aro
constantly insured l»y those societies,
nud no inquiries arc mado as to the
cause of tho death of tho insured when
it takes plaoe.
This puts a premium on getting rid ot
such bcnelioiarioH for tlio sake of the pe
cuniary profit; and it is a common scan
dal in certain parts of Groat Britain
that the opportunity is often taken ad-
vantngo of. Thus in the Midlands a
provorb, “Look out for tbo broomstick I”
is ofteu beard, where an aged person is
aware, or ought to be aware, that bis de
mise is hoped for by his juniors, because
they would profit by it; and it refers to
tho practice of placing a broomstick
ucross the head of some dimly-lighted
stairway, in order that a grandparent
may “accidentally” fall and meet, or at
Icoat hasten, his death. It appears that
this deliberate planning for the death of
an insurod person is alarmingly on the
increase in England.—New York Hour,

“Well, son, did yon get any cases to

been admitted to tbe bar about six
months ago.
“No, lather; none yet. I am very
much discouraged.”
“Perhaps you don’t uso the proper
method to get cases. You should never
appear upon the streets without carrying
iu your hand a sheet of cap paper
folded up so as to look like a legal docu
ment; rush about as if you were loaded
down with business. When in your
office and anyone comes in, be busy
writing out a deed or something, and
when in court never fail to cock your
feet up ou the table, brush up your
hair and lock wiser than tbe judge if you
can. That’s the way those fellows who
