Love, How Wonderful.
—t — -
BY SADIB.
“And ao Charles, you are wanting
my little Edith, the light aud sun
shine of our home.”
Yes, Mr. Bertram; the time has
expired, and I come with an anxious
heart to receive your answer."
IV hioh, is my dear boy, yes. You
cannot realize how hard it is for a
patent to say this. To give unto the
keeping of another a daughter just
verging into womanhood, to have
nursed her lrom infancy, and loved
her with that love which only a ns*
rent can feel, and then to know that
another’s claim is superior to their’s ;
ah! Charles, it is hard; yeti know
that sooner or later, it must come;
and there is no man living to whom
I would mon willingly relinquish my
darling than yourself. You are a
good, honest, sober young man—(his
is all I ask; your name is good—
your money I care not for. I was
raised in the days when happiness
was considered more valuable than
wealth."
“ f Lank you, Mr. Bertram, for your
kindness; lam glad to know you
have such an opinion of me. and can
assure you, I will do all in my power
to promote your daughter’s happiness.
And now, Mr. Bertram, will you cou
sent to an early union ?”
“No, Charles, I cannot do this;
let us have her a few months longer,
please.’’
“It shall be as you wish; the idea
that she will one day be mine—all
mine—will keep me alive, I Buppose (
for several months.” And wishing
him a pleasantgood morning, Charles
hastened to bear the glad tidings to
his betrothed. Together they thank
ed God for His kindness, talked of
the great happiness in store for them,
and laid their plans for the future.—
Rapidly the days passed by, now that
all was settled; it seemed that their
happiness was complete, and why
should it not be? To know that there
is someone that cares more for us
than any one else, is enough to make
of this vile and sinful world, a very
Eden. Suddenly, without the least
warning, came the crash of 18—;
among the failures, was that of
Charles A. Durant. As an honest
man should, he gave up everything,
and came out penniless. He then
went to his beloved, and offered to
release her from the engagement,
but, like a true and noble woman,
■he stood by him in his troubles as
I well as in his palmly days; she told
him they might not then be able to
' marry, but they would wait patiently
■ and perhaps after a while he could
build up his business, and then they
could realize all of their bright dreams.
For a tiina he bore his troulpes brnfe
ly, hut as the cloud* grew darker, lie
lost all h.ipe, the tempter came, the
wine-glass wa* offered, and in one of
his weak moments, he diaitied it ot
,its contents. Oli 1 fatal moment, that
caeta Might upon so rnauy lives.—
This step over, and the others were
rapidly made, a few weeks from this
time, found him a drunkard, a gam
' bier, and everything else that was Vile
at and wicked. His parents were oorne
down with sorrow; his betrothed—
the pen refuses to eipose her misery
to stranger eyes; the city was star
tled at the announcement of his
downfall, lie h'td been an 0 101, such
i a high-minded, noble young roan.
Only this much more to prove how
weak is human fl*-sh. Elith with iho
bereaved parents, prayed continually
for tbereiu'n ol the prodigal son.
But what good will the prayers of
others do, if we refuse to humble our
selves before the.throne of grace?
He still visited our heroine, as "ften
ns before, and *he worked faithfully

! One day so-.n after this, as ha wai
going home to dinner, he mot Charlie
coming from there, veiy much intoxi

kind patent’s he.ut, when he saw the
teat-drops glistening in her eyes and
on the pale and sunken cheek. Wi
ping tin hi off, he look a seat beside
her and clasped his aims around hei,
saying as he dil S", “Weeping i gain,

know how it pains me,inv darling,to see
you wasting away your life upon such

pals and delicate, then fades away
altogether. Charlie is the sunstiue ot
my life, though hut a leeh.e ray, were

mother Both.” “Pshaw ! my child,
this is nouseuse; you must cheer up,
you need society, ami by-the-way, I
have an invitation here to a bill to he
given hy my Irieud, Mr R-id, and
1 am anxious to have you attend,
don’t shake y ur head, Elith, it mud
be; he is quite an intiruae fiiend ot
mine, and 1 do not wish his invitation
slignted. Reiueuioer, my daughter,
this is the ii st requns* I hive made
of you in a long wmie; will you grant
it.” After a few moment’s hesitation
she replied : “yes my finer 1 will go,
but please, after this, do not ssk me
again. I am unlia; py, ami I am
afraid I will ma ! te those around me
in ” “I shall depend upon my child/’
said he, and bending over he kissed
the quiveting lips and left the room.
The night cf the ball arrived. Ac
cording to promise, Edith atten ed.
As the evening was drawing to a close
Mr. Dnvatil, father of out hero, ap
peared at the door of the dancing
ball. Ho eeetned to be looking tor
someone, so Edith walked up and
a-ked if she could be of any assist
ance. “Yes,” said he. my child, “I am
here lor you; my w fe is very id ; she
is anxious to sea our eon, and my
words have no effect upon h.m, so I
have come for you; wdi you go.’
“Certainly Mr. Duvaul,” and excus
ing herelf from her partner, she ful-
lowed the old man down stairs and
out into the street where they found
a carriage waiting for them. They
took their seats and were driven rap
| idly onward, she knew not wherrf.
i But few words were spoken until th< y
stopped, and on looking out, Edith sow
they were iu front of a large drinking
saloon. "Is this the place;” she said,
turning to her companion. ‘‘Yes, my
child, a dying motner wishes ! tiy
once more to save her eon front the
bottomli ss pit, will yon go in, or are
your uervea too weak?” “J will go
in,” and throwing aside bar wraps,
she stepped out, and walked bravely
in, the old man following. The sight
that met her eyes was enough to sick
en the soul of any one, Arounl a
card-table sat a halfdosen young men,
upon it were several bottles, aud just
as she entered, Charlie raised a well
filled goblet to his lips and ere she
could reach him, it was upon the ta
ble, empty! fine walked up to him,
and laying, her hand upon his shoul-
der said: “Charlie, doyeu refue to
answer a dying mother’s call!” He
looked up, aud even them bis cou
tcienoe smote him tor having been the
eause of her entering such a place.'—
There she stood, clad in a robs of
white velvet, with ornaments of pearl#,
the very personification of purity and
innocence. “I will go with you, Ed
ith,” and throwing down the cards he
etsggered out That night the moth
i et’s spirit winged its flight to n fret
iaai. Cheriie oniy arrived in time to
hear a short prayer from tier lips, and
rao a iva her blessing. For awhile he
left his former associates, quit his
bad habits, and all rejoiced over the
great change. Edith was again light
hearted and free. The happy oouple
wished the oereraony performed at
ones, but Mr. Bertram, with bis wise
old head, said they w mid wait awhile,
and see how long this goodness would
continue. They both agree! to this,
thinking, of course, he would be firm,
but when the tempter has once laid
his hands on a person, he does Dot re-
linquish In in without a very g'eat
rtruggle. Each day, Charlie became
weaker and weaker, until at last he
give way altogether, and the fallen
angels rejoiced over another that had
j lined th-dr band. This shock was a
great one to poor Elith; one that
shook reason to it? veiy foundation,
but ber mind was strong; she stood
the test, and came foith a sane wo
man, but still the same faithfu', lov
ing one. Why is it I wonder tuat
women love so foolishly? When the
plant has once taken root in her hesrt,
it is almost an impossibility to crush
it out. No amount of wickedness or
disrespect will kill it, or even causo it
to wither for a time. At last he grew

day, not long after their separation,

leaving home, he joined her, as near

They wandered on towards the river
and fiuall y seated themselves on its
banks. Here they conversed for
sine time, oniy a p-rt of tneir conver
sation we will repeat. It seems he
was begging her to forsake Dome,
friend-, nnd all, to become his wife,
and to lira she replied: “No, Cnar
he, I cannot, though I love you; 1 re

Hill, Harris and McDonald, of Indi
ans, discussing the siuiaiiou aud pros
pects ot the Democratic paity. Hill,
who is anxious beyond taeasure to
convince everybody that he wa* si
w y* iu favor ot the silver bill with
the Senate amendments, was bewail
ing the decadeuoe ot Ameiican poli
tics He was inclined to be ieve that
our country had passed ttie Zenith of
its |uo*p*rity, nml was on tl.e high
road to decay aud death. “When a
people aie inseurible to their own de
basement,” said the bri liaut Geuigian,
‘‘their is little bopo for them.” The
chief sign ot decadence iu Beu il'.i’s
eye wa* the fact that the people had
submitted quietly to tl.e tenancy of a
President who was elect and. Sana
tor Harris took up stiong oudg ds in
behalf of the integrity of the Ameri
can freeman. He contended that ths
end of carpet-hag rule was due not
alone to the repu 'iatn.n of that rule
hy the South, as Hill contended, but
to a widespread change of sentiment
at the North, which was evinc'd by
the steady increase of Northern Dem
ocratic Senators in the Senate, and try
the growth ofa public sentimeut which
hao made it impossible for a North
ern President to longer sustain and
advocate the (kilicv of lioidiug the
S- nth as conqtiored provinces.
Then the conversation drifted on to
finance, aid Hiil, Harr.a sad Mcdon
ald all aqreed that the silver toil would
prove a national blessing if it should
allay the agitation of the times and
prove a bulwark against the fanatic
ism which seeks to array labor against
capital. One opitriou on which tney
agreed struck me wi'h groat force,
v:z; That the great danger tit the
Democratic party was that, before
1880, the Republican party w-ould tall
to p eces of its owe rottenness, and
that the Demoaiatic party, instead if
being arrayed against the old enemy
which it has so nearly beaten, would
t>e called upon to lace anew and fresh
antagonist in the shape of
party, led um by demsgogusa. who
would seek to array ialur agt.insi
eahit.il for moti.es ofpeisonal gam.
I confess I was surprised to find thiee
Donocta's of such widely different
►actions, and generally accorded aucli
widely different views, so united in
the opini n that the great Democrat*
ic party'must sl tnd by its old princi
ples, let some what would, and fight
under the old flag against centraliza
tion on the one hand an 1 communis n
on the other It strengthened a tyro’s
(relief io the perpetuity of the .>M doo
tlines, acd disproved the Republican
assertions that the Democratic p.aity

tion, by the way, I have yet to meet

and HArrMfrrml Story W'ouched
for by Mon. £fi Per kino.
As the feet express on the Lake
Shore stop(ed at Berea yest rday to
take water the passengers saw in the
•orner of a rail fence, sunning itseif,
a large snake. When the engineer
blew off a stream of biasing, hot steam
tho snake snddenly coiled itself up ee
if to jump at thebrakeman, who stood
with his back toward the reptile. Col.
Robert Downes, who was iu the par
lor car, saw the dangerous position of
the hrnkoroan, and with a cool prer
ence of mind leaped from the car,
grasped a fence rail and proceeded
to striks a: the snake.
By this time the ladies in the car
were screaming and the other male
passengeis had jumped out to he p
the Colonel. The snake dodged Col.
Downes's first blow by dipping its
head, and then suddenly, to ti e horror
of every one, sprang from it* coil, head
foremost, upon the platform of the
oar, nn.i, the door being open, glided
with fiery eyes and darting tongue
straight into the centre of rhe car.
Several ladies nearly fainted, and the
screams of tho frightened passengers
brought Suprintendent Newell, who
had a revolver, from the rear car.
Mr. Newell is a good shot, having
served through the Mexican war;
hut the tcryatns of the lady passen
gers sc' Dind to unuerve him, Hud Ilia
first shot missed the 6tiake, which' now
cubed itself up, with head erect, ready
to spring iu among a half fainting
group of ladies.
Luckily, as soon as Mr Newell fir
ed, and before the snake could make
a deadly spring, Mr. Augustus Schell
of New Yotk drew a revolver and shot
ths BS'fks dead. Quiveriog a mo
ment, l a head fell, and the dead body
I ty lifeless cn the ca>|n t of the car.
On measurieg the snake it was
found to be 17 feet and 7 inches long,
and had fourteen rattles in its tail and
four rattles around its neck. It ua9

Nothing more was sait*, but Mrs.
Jones looked as though something
had come into her mind that woad*r
ytilly pleased her.

ask- and, ’where is my night-dress ?,
'Under your pillow my dear/ gent

'Oh no' that is not min* / said Mr*.
Jon a as she took up the garment and
he and it up before her husband, ’it i
your night-shut fixed up as you said
you would like it/ And further ex

was compelled to sleep in this fancy

On Tuesday there was the mostexcit
ing and dangeoua whale fight tbftt
lias ever occurred on tnia coast. It
was with some difficulty that the Cap
tain of the crew could get bis men to
obey orders. Wbeu the first bomb
was fi'ed into the whale it failed to
explede, but it made the whale furioua
er.d he struck one of the boats and
knocked it some feet fibers tbs rater.
The Captain then fired anuther bomb.
Thi* also tailed to explode. The fight
was still getting mote furioua. Th*
third bomb was fired and exploded
near the heart. This conquored tha
moii-t r. The blood spouted about
ten feet high,and as tbe screw rushed
up to tick their lauces in the whale
the blood fell iu showers upon them
and tlicit boats. The fight was wit*
uetsed by another crew stationed
nbout seven wiles above them. Tie
whule was forty-two feet leng, and
extiemely fat. Tha fish wi'l probably
bring about $6OO. Raleigh Obinter.
