Many years ago a Georgia gentleman
had a son who was given to drinking too
freely. One doy he was on a spree and
saw the old gentleman coming toward
where the hands wore piling brush in
the new ground. He made the regroea
cover him up in a brush heap, to hide
him from his father’s wrath. The
old fellow walked np and ordered them
to commence burning the heaps. Im
agine his surprise to see his son erawl
out from one of them. Ho coaid not
stand the fire.

THAT 1)AY in ms boat.
It was a wild night. The wind blow,
the rain drove, the waves roared iu the
noar distance.
It had been a fateful day to me.
Grandfather Delmar, with whom I had
lived ovor since I could remember, bail
been carried to his final home that after
noon, and now 1 was tho last representa
tive of onr name. The wide aores of the
Delmar plantation, originally one of the
largest estates on the eastern shore of
Maryland, bad come down to me as sole
heiress. To me also had descended the
Delmar diamonds, whioh had biased on
the persons of the Delmar ladies. I say
descended, bnt I am hardly correct, for
these broad lands and these priceless
jewels were mine only nnder the will of
my grandfather, and that will contained
a proviso whioh I had jnat learned for
the first time. I was to marry Randolph
Heath, the ward and adopted son of my
grandfather, or else the entire property
was to go to this self-ssme Randolph.
The will had just been read. The fu
neral guests, or at least, the most im
portant of them, hsd listened to it in
the great drawing-room below, tbA
walls of whioh were hung with portraite
of my Delmar ancestors, handsome men
and lovely, golden-haired women.
“Charlotte,” said my aunt, when the
reading of the will was ended—“Char
lotte, my dear, yon mast invite oar
friends for the night. Yon are mistress
now.”
“I shall never be mistress of Delmar
Hall, Aunt Mordannt,” I said, firmly.
She clutched my arm, her eyes wide
with wonder.
“And why not, pray ?’’
“Because of the proviso. I will
never wed Randolph Heath.”
Her face whitened to the hue ol
death. She was a lone widow, and I
was her idol; and she coveted all those
jewels and rich acres for my heritage,
For a moment we stood breathless.
“But Randolph Heath’s in Australia/
suggested a friend, “and you are mis
tress at least until he returns.”
Poor annty caught at this last hope
with s gasp of relief.
“So you are, my dear,” she put in;
“we'll leave all these disagreeable things
to be settled in the future. To-night,
friends, we will shut the doom against
the storms and be comfortable. ”
She swept off toward the glowing
parlor, followed by her gnests, while I
fled away to thy own ohamber.
The afternoon, as I have said, had
turned into rain and the waves thundered
on the shores of the bay close by with
a hoarse cry, like a human heart in
pain. I paced my room restlessly. 1
oould not marry this Randolph Heath,
whose face I had not looked upon sinoe
the days of my early ohildhood. I oould
not do it, for another face arose before
me, in the face of the man I loved. A
poor man, landless and unknown, yet
who had grown so dear to me in the few
brief months of onr summer acquaint
ance that to give him up were worse
than death. Yet I was a Delmar, and
it was a sore trial to lose my heritage—
fo lose the Delmar jewels. All the Del
mar women before me had worn these
matchless old diamonds; and must I,
alone of them, be disinherited and
dowerless ?
“Yes, oheerfnlly,” I said; “since to
keep them I must give np the choice of
my heart. Dear, dear summer days !”
For it had been daring a visit to a
school friend, who lived in one of the
loveliest counties of Pennsylvania, that
I hrA met, the preceding June, Herbert
Stanley. For the first time in my life I
had found iu him a perfectly congenial
so-nl. We liked the same poetry, pre
ferred the same moeio, admired the
same scenery. Ah I what delicious days
♦ hose were. Wo rode, we walked, we
sailed, we road together. Our acquaint
ance noon passed into intimacy, and
from that ripened Into love.
Never oould I forget the day, the
blissful day, wheu my hopes became
a oertainty. Herbert had askod mo the
evening before if! would go with him in
his l>oat. No knight of old oould have
handed mo into the little vessel more
reverentially than he did. How manly
he looked ! How atrong and seif-oon-
tained 1 My heart beat fast, for some
thing in his manner told me what was
coming, bnt I was ineipressibly happy,
nevertheless. He rowed for about half
an hoar; tWn stopping, ho lay upon
his oars, and looking me in the face like
a bravo heart as he was, told his tale,
though with many a hesitating word
and many a look of anxiety.
Shonld I give anoh a one np T Never!
Yet the temper of my thoughts was such
that I could not stay in-doors I I left
the house and ran down to the shore of
tho bay, having first thrown a shawl
over my head. The storm and darkness
was terrifio, and the tide was coming in
with a hoarse, sullen cry. The salt
mist drenched my hair, the winds tore
and shrieked arottnd me, end overhead
hnng the pitoh-block sky.
Suddenly I heard a step and, looking
up, saw Herbert himself, I started with
surprise. *
“I havo been hovering abont all day,
he said. “I had given up hope of see
ing yon. Bnt still I oould not tear my
self away/*
“Yon did not doubt me ?” I cried
“Oh, Herbert I”
My look, my tone, even more than my
words, reassured him.
“Thank God !” ho said, drawing n
deep breath. “Thnnk God ! It is not
true, then, what-1 hear. You are not
going to betray me ?”
"Betray you?”
“I was told yoa were to be disinherit
ed unless yon married Randolph Heath,
and that the temptation has been too
great for you. I did not believe It And
yet, and yet—forgive me, darling, I see
I was wrong—I was fearfully afraid.”
“Be afraid no longer,” I whispered,
nestling to his broad breast. “What are
broad aores and gleaming jewels to yout
dear love? I am yours and yours
only.”
He bent and kissed me. After a while
he said, “I do not fear for yonr fidelity,
bnt I do fear for the persecution yon
may suffer. It is bnt a short walk to
the little churob. I know the rector;
he was, I find, one of my old school
mates. Be mine to-night and I will go
away content. Not till you permit it
shall the marriage be made public. ”
“I am yours,” I said, “bnt let it be
to-morrow evening. I will tell my aunt
in a day or two afterward. Poor aunt,
it will need that time to preDare her. ”
It was arranged, therefore, that I
should meet my lover at the same hoax
next evening, and with a parting em
brace I harried in, lest I should be
missed.
Annt Mordannt was in a flatter of ex
citement the next morning. She had
jnst received a letter saying that Ran
dolph Heath had returned and would be
at Delmar Hall by snnset.
“Now, Gbarlotte, my love,” she said
bustling into my chamber before I was
awake, “do try and look yonr beet to
night. You are a beauty, I know, bnt a
charming toilet seta you off amazingly.
Lay off your heavy crape just for to
night and wear that white silk with the
lily-of-the-valley trimmings. You must
fascinate this Randolph Heath at the
outset; it will be quite comfortable to
have him at your feot, for you must-
marry him, my dear; yon are too sensi
ble a girl to make a beggar of yourself. ”■
I only smiled in answer, and I suf
fered my maid to array me in the
dainty silk. Bnt at set of sun, instead
of receiving Randolph Heath in the
grand parlors of the hall I was speeding
away with my lover toward the old
ivy-covered ohnrch, bnilt of bricks im
ported from England a century and a
half before; the ohnroh where the Del-
mars for five generations had been
married. In the soft glitter of the early
starlight we were wedded. An honr
after 1 was homo again. But as I as
cended to my room I remembered that
I had looked my last upon the kiinking
Delmar diamonds and on the broad
lands of the hall,
I had hardly closed the door behind
me when my aunt entered.
“Charlotte, you must come down at
once; yon must indeed,” she said.
“Randolph is in the drawing-room aad
asks to see yon. Don’t be odd. Here,
Luoila, do your young lady’s hair.
1 stood uncertain.
“And now, my dear, do pat on your
diamonds,” continued poor auntie, flut
tering round me; “yon shonld always
wear gems, they beoome you, ”
“But, auntio, the diamonds are not
mine,” I began, wishing time to think.
1 was almost ready, then and there,
to tell tho truth. But I pitied auntie
and hesitated.
“Bnt they will be, my love, as soou
as you marry Randolph Hoath," she
nrged.
“I shall never marry him," I an
swered.
“We shall see, my love. At any rate,
como down and welcome him. That
muoh is dno, nt tho least, ”
This decidod me. It was his due.
As we descended to tho grand drawing
room whoro my grandfather’s adopted
son awaited us, I stopped for a moment
on the stairs and gazod around me with
almost a sigh of regret. Iu a few days
I must go out from the dear old place
disowned and disinherited. Poor nnntiel
the blow will fall heavily on her.
Shutting my hand involuntarily ovor
the marriage ring upon my finger, I fol
lowed my sunt, my heart in my moutn.
A tall figure arose as we entered and ad
vanced to meet ns. I heafd my aunt’s
warm word of woloome, and then I felt
my own hands grasped, and looked up.
I cried out iu amazoment, for the
stranger was Herbert Stanley, my new
ly-wedded husband.
“Can I hope that yon will ever for
give mo?” he said, with a smile. “I am
Randolph Heath. I have known of tht
proviso to your graudfather’s will for
years. But as I wanted yon to love mu
for myself, if yon could, I planned 11
meet you last summer. Oau you forgive
me ?”
I looked up into his doar, kind faoe.
• ’No matter who you are, or what you
planned," I answered, putting my hand
in his, “I forgive jon, for I love you.”
Then'we told the story of our marriage.
Annt Mordannt listened in horrified
amazement.
“An indiscreet thing, to say the least,
my love,” she said; “you might have
committed a grave mistake. It is ail
right, since you’ve married Mr. Heath.
Bu Vjeally, my dean, have a
wedJfeg. Yfts, in order to preserve the
prestige of the old name, if nothing
mote, we really must have a wedding,
and marry you over again.”
And she did; and it was a most mag
nificent affair. The old hall was in
a blaze of light, and crowded with noble
guests, and I wore point lace and tho old
Delmar diamonds.
But I was not half so happy as on the
day when I first heard from my bus-
band’s lips that ho loved me—heard it
that day in his boat
Up in a Dalloor
Tho balloon corps employed by Gen.
Graham to reoonnoitre Osman Digma’s
movements represents a force whioh
may hereafter beoome formidably effec
tive iu modern warfare, although the
date of its first utilization in this way
comes almost within the memory of
some men still living. The earliest ap-
pearanoo of balloons in war was during
the siege of a fortress in Northern Franoe
by the Austro-Prussion invaders of 1794,
when an adventurous aeronaut thor-
onghly surveyed the Austrian line
in the teeth of a heavy bnt wholly inef
fectual fire directed against him by the
enraged enemy. The balloon commit-
nicatf ons kept with the outside world by
Paria during the German blookade of
1870 is still fresh in public memory.
Poor Col. Burnaby, one of the boldest
aeronauts of his time, had daring theo
ries about the possible use of balloons
in war which his own fea’s amply justi
fied. The project of freighting a bal
loon with small bombs, and dropping
them into tho enemy’s ranks, has been
repeatedly mooted, bnt not yet tested
by actnal experiment.
The Roosevelt Fish Chowder.
Peel and boil a quart of potatoes and
mash them through a colander; pee!
and slice a large onion, and fry it brown
with half a pound of salt pork (sliced);
slice one lemon thin; break a pound of
sea-bisouit in small pieces; mix to
gether one level tea-spoonful each of
ground thyme, savory pepper and grated
nntmeg, one salt-spoonful each of pow
dered cloves and allspice, and ono heap
ing table-spoonful of salt; oarefully clean
and wash three pounds each of cod and
rockflsb, or bass, and out the fish in two-
inoh slices; put all these ingredients into
the chowder-kettle in layers, add to
them the strained liquor from twenty-
five large oysters, a cupful of mushroom
catsup, and a quart of port or olaret;
pour into the kettle enough cold water
to cover the chowder to the depth of an
inch, and place it over the fire where it
etm boil gently for twenty minutes,
meantime carefully remove all bits of
shell from twenty-five largo oysters.
When the ohowder has boiled for twenty
minutes put in the oysters, let it boil
once more, and then serve it at onoe.

NOT DOING TO HR A POPS.
A youug lady, a Sunday school teacher
in a church pretty near tho corner of
Gilmore street and Lafayette avenue,
was on Sunday defining faith to hex
class of young Americans, aged from (1
to 10 yean. She sot about her task in
a practical way. “Faith In anything,”
she aaid, “is to believe that something
existed whioh oould not ho seen. Sup
pose," she said, “yonr papa should tell
you he had put ten dollars in tho bank
for you, amt that you might draw it
from tho bank when you grew older.
You did not ace the money put in, but
you know it is there bcoanso you believe
what yonr papa tolls you, nud wheu you
grow up and want the money you ilrcss
yourself np, with your gloves on, and
your high hat, and your cane, and
you—”
At this juncture tho tcnchor was
startled by one of tho boys, who cried
out:
“What are you giving 11s ? Do you
think I’m a dude ?”
The yonng lady says she felt pros
trated, and that it will be some time
liefore she stin up the question of faith
again .—Baltimore American.

THE 0114EOT OF THE DITCH.
A New Yorker who was in Missouri
last fall found a number of men digging
a ditch between two small lakes.
“I can’t seo the objeot,” he observed,
after surveying the work for a while.
“No?” dryly answered the boss.
“The lakes are too shallow to be navi
“Well?”
“And the ditch can’t be of any nse
except to the fish,”
“Mebbo not.”
“Hay !’’ called the nettled New Yorker
"what is the object of yonr infernal old
ditch anyhow ?”
“Toissue $100,000 worth of bonds on,’
was the calm reply.— Wall Street News,
A STjEIOHINO.
“Then yon won’t lot your daughter go
with the sleighing party ?”
“Indeed, I won’t.”
“I didn’t nuppose yon were opposed
to young folks having a good time.”
“That ain’t it. I’m not downjon
sleighriding, bnt Mary Ann has bad her
last one while I have to foot her bills.
The last time I let her go she had to
squall and lose a ten dollar set of teeth
in a snow drift when the sleigh upset.
