He was buried in the «>lUge churchyard, ami soon the town had forg iHti n him ami his almost ;ts if tbry had never lived. “In time there came into their house a title, blue-eyed, golden haired baby girl, aud for a time the young mother was so happy that her home sq< m«i almost like hear on.

The scene of h- r happiness had become strangely distasteful to her, and she con < lud<-d to h ave the place and follow th': example of Cousin J.v .* in wicitiug her fortune in the Wot. “She selected for her home n little city in Colorado, in a valley through which there ran a river rippling and tumbling over sands of yellow gold between gr< at cliffs of granite under whose rough, rag ged sides lay hidden countless veins of the s one pre< ions metal.

Jtatber an impracticable way of doing, you probably think, but this young widow had little experience. She knew nothing of money earning and had little ability to buttle with the world. There was noth ing masculine with our friend, not even a husband. One day she hsd a caller. He came while she was out, and when she returned he was sitting in the parlor with little Clara on his knee. He was Couiin Jack, and he was still unmarried. He briefly told his story. He had built the railroad, surveyed other roads and at I- ngth Iwia ic a miner with the rc-t of the men, and unlike many of them ho had grown rich rich beyond his wildest cxp« t.itions.

This was th:-story he told and this was what she listened to with downcast eyes and beating lieart. Would she many him? “ ‘No,’ she said. She never would marry again. “ ‘Never?’ “ ‘No, m ver.' He had waited too long. Her w idowhood was too sacred to be thrown away so lightly. She would live alone the rest of her life for her child. “Sorrowfully h< pressed her hand and thus for a second time they parted. “They often saw each other, though, and gradually the sunshine came back into her life and each day added to hi r contentment. One day she mid little Clara went up the valley to see Jack. It was their fir t visit and he met them at the stage and drove them up the valley to w here his mine wns located. A new lead was to bo op:-ned. For weeks they had worked in the hard granatc, blasting mid picking, boring and digging, until at last there only remained between them mid gold a thin layer of rock, which was this day to be blasted through. I O.ig holes were bored intii the rock mid they were heavily charged with nitro-glycerine. The miners left the tunnel and sought shelter with Jack and his friends near the foot of the shaft. At the lower end of the dark tunnel there were lights dimly burning mid like the black muz zles of great cannon the holes with their deadly contents looked out on the little party. One sure-footed, steady-handed miner adjusted the fuse and quickly ran towards the shaft. There was a moment of stillness, then little Clara darted past her mother mid ran towards the burning taper. Qui< kas a flash Jack spring after her. Another moment of stillness, quiet ns the grave and longer than eternity, mid then a roar that shook the earth. A rattle of flying rocks like a broadside of artillery, a childish shriek of terror, a groan, and the miners, pale as death it self, dashed through the blinding smoko to where Jack lay with the child. A rock had struck his arm and crushed it into pulp. Another had hit his body and stretched him out on the rocks insen ible and well-night dead. But the child was safe. In falling she had struck a rock which cut her forehead, but the death she so unwittingly courted had been , avoided. In saving her brave Jack had sacritled himself.

CITY PILOTS. peopl-s Who Makes Business of Showing People Around. V7.Lling to Exhibit ths Elephant, but Not to Load a Spree. In European cities guides, who make a businc-. of taking strangers about to and experience things, are almost as plenty ns flics around a Ktigar hogshead in summer. They haunt -teamer wkarvcK, lurk nlxiut depots, infest ho td-, ."nd obtrude themselves at every t irn when one g:x-s unattended on a hunt fur new experiences. Not only are the real guid'-s very frequently great rascals, but their occupation is often fai <|y as sumed, as a means of beguiling confi dence and betraying to financial damage by th" mod thorough-paced scoundrels. Hence, Eiirojx an guides are viewed with no little suspicion, and experienced travellers are shy of them. Here in New York the guide has lieen but little known os a provisional. A sightseer from the West, a sensation-seeking Briton, or a clergyman on a Taimagian hunt for iniquity, could always get a pri vate detective to b ar him company and give a certain mea-ure of protection, but the service so rendered was looked upon i.s out-ide the regular line of duty, and w • : x]H-n-ive. Rather more expensive, perhaps, was the readily tendered guid ance of the well dressed and very affable rm ii who could always be found lounging around first-class barrooms and hotel corridors, waiting to show strangers the way to “a private club of gentlemen,” as an appropriate finish to an evening of seeing the sights, or in daytime, to show where they had “just won a prize in a lottery.” But the time has come when a regular business is made of furnishing guides. An up town detective agency has made a special feature of this sort of business. Speaking of the new departure, the su perintendent said; “We h ive often, as detectives, been called upon to conduct about the city strangers who were desirous of seeing the sights points of interest in the town you know and the growing frequency of such requirements has led us to make a feature of it in our business. We have at present, regularly employed, sever persons-two of whom are ladies—ad mirably qualified for this service, andean call upon others equally capable, as oc casion requires. It might be supposed that we would be mostly in demand tc steer sightseers to and through vicious and disreputable places. Such, however, is not the fact. There is really very lit tle of that. Strangers want to see the navy vird, High Bridge, the greatest ele vation of the elevated road, the Central Park, Grant's tomb, the aristocratic res idences, the view from the top of Field’s building, Castle Garden, and a thousand other things that they have heard 01 rend of, and are interested in, but 01 which New Yorkers generally know lit tle and care less for as curiosities. Then, if they arc women, the strangers want to go shopping to our finest and most fa mous stores. And they want to go tc places of amusement, with our guides tc tell tie in what is worth going to see, and what is proper and what is not, ami where they can find what they are look ing for. "Fellows who are more or less round ers at homv want to see the metropolitan elephant, and we enable them to do so, guarding them as far as possible against imposition or personal damage. But we will not take anybody to a gambling house, nor will we undertake to steel any one through the lurid sinuosities of a howling toot, with the accompanying fights and other appropriate bric-a-brac of that nature. Our guides are not al lowed to take commissions from store keepers on sales of goods to persons they are taking about, and will do their duty faithfully and thoroughly as a matter ot business, at office rates, w ithout any per sonal presents. The price we charge foi a guide, male or female, is 40 to 50 cents an hour for day work, $1 an hour foi night work before I'3 o'clock, and $1.50 an hour after 12 o'clock. All expenses for transportation, meals, theatre tickets, Ac., are, of course, borne by the person engaging the services of the guide. Out guides are required to dress in good style, and among them they speak fluently seven different languages. 5Ve expect tc do agn at dial with foreigners just as soon as our business becomes known, as it will be among them." ,Y< r Fori Bun. Toads as Bee Eaters. “It is not, I believe, generally known,' writes a correspondent of the London <■ 'u\ “that toads are most deter- mined In'e-eaters, and that however ser vieable the toad may be in kitchen gar dens and frames ns a slug and insect destroyer, th fre<r you can keep your apiary from his pr<« nee the better. Toads will wait at the so t of a hive to »eiz.e any honey-laden bee that may hap |x'n to fall to the ground on its return from foraging, and one bee-master saw over i dozen little workers captured in the space of half an hour by an old fat fellow, who darted out his tongue w ith wonder ful celerity immediately he saw a bee 01 the ground. The bees had been collect ing pollen, and ninny of them, Ix'ing heav ily laden, were unable to reach the flooi* board of the hive.” CLIPPINGS FOR THE Cl RIOL’S. In Antwerp, on Holy Innocent's Day, the children are allowed to dress like men and women and run the house. Scorpions, spiders and various insect" have been observed to lie motionless if a person blows upon them in a vertical direction. The weight of a molecule of camphor sensible to the sin' Il has been computed by Bordernavc to weigh 1-2,262,584,- 000th of a grain. The Mcngoon Pagoda is one of the mo.t interesting sights in Burmah, and in its unfinished state i.s the largest solid mass of brickwork in the world. The largest barn in the world is probably that of the Union Cattle Com pany of Cheyenne, near Omaha. It covers five acres, cost $125,000 and ac commodates 3750 head of cattle. No spot in Mexico is sacred from smokers; in churches, on the railway cars, on the streets, in the theatres— everywhere are to be seen men and women of the elite—smoking. Chinese children turn their backs on the teacher when they recite. There is no catechising of children in the Chinese schools; they simply learn a thing by heart and go up and repeat it, with their faces turned from the black board and the teacher. The armorial device of the city as Berne, Switzerland, is a bear (the name itself signifying bear), and the animal is a favorite efligy throughout the city. In addition many living bears ire still kept and supported at public ex pense. At the time of the French revo lution the bears of Berne were carried as prisoners to Paris. The population of London now ex ceeds every other city, ancient or mod ern, in the world. New York and all its adjacent cities combined are not equal to two-thirds of it. Scotland, Switzerland and the Australian colonies each contain fewer souls, while Norway, i Servia, Greece and Denmark have scarcely half so many. Yet at the be gining of the present century the popu lation of all London did not reach 1,0(M,- 000. Beef is never seen at a Chinese table, zxen and cows capable of working the plow being accounted too valuable to the farmer to be consigned to the butcher. Very severe penalties are attached to the slaughter of these animals. The punish ment for the first offense is a hundred strokes with a bamboo, and then two months in the wooden collar. Should love of beef or desire of gain induce a repetition of the crime, a second judicial flogging is followdd by exile for life from the province. An Athlete on Exercise. I was talking with George Hanlon yes terday morning about the exercise such athletes as he recommend for the ordina ry man to pursue in order to keep the muscles properly developed. He said: "I am down on gymnasiums for ordinary purposes. They overdo the thing. Too often they are presided over by men who onlj' care for the members’ subscription and take but little heed as to his course of exercise. Heavy weight lifting I won’t tolerate. It is most pernicious in its effects on the body, ami improves one set of muscles at the expense of another. What I recommend is the plain, old-fasii ioned rubber bands or tubes. Fasten them to the wall, about breast high, and then begin. There is no particular for mula to go through. Motions will sug gest themselves. Another set of rubber can be fastened lower down and the legs exercised by them. I have peculiar no tions, too, about bathing. I don't be lieve in plunge or shower baths. I strip in a comfortable room. Wet a towel, wring it out thoroughly, and wipe the surface of the entire body. Wet it again but leave a little more moisture in it and rub the body again. Once more, with still more water on the t >wel, and then rub off dry. Our family lias found that by all odds the best method.’’-—CAieayo -Yea's. A Willow Fam. About a mile below the city of Macon (Ga.,) is the osier willow farm of Mr. I. C. Plant, which has been visited by a correspondent of the Amei'iean Drugyiat. The willow switches, at the end of two years, are from four to seven feet long, and are cut and gathered into bunches like sheaves of wheat. In the stripping building they are steeped in water, and the bark at the larger end loosened for a couple of inches by machinery. The leaves and bark are then removed by a little machine devised by Mr. Plant. One by one the switches are placed in the mechanical stripper, and with a pair of pliers are pulled through with a sudden jerk. They are then wi; <u off with a wo len doth, bundled, and laid awav to dry. All the leaves and bark are dried an baled. They are used for medicinal pur pc- and command a pri: of twenty five cents a pound. There are at present 4(M\'i;>o willows grow Ing on the farm, and 80.000 additional slips haver- nt!y been set out. The entire levee is to be eventu ally covered with them, when sixty acres w ill be devoted to this single crop. The average yield is a ton tothe acre. When dried, the willows command S2OO per ton, and find a ready market. A LIBERAL OFFER five tiioi>.»sb A>Y < IIAKITAHI.E IXSTITI riox. IfltCana«r be poor It is ‘‘fated.

We “do not make new kidneys, but if the kidney “is not consumed too much we can stop dis "case and prolong life if taken in time. This offer comes from H. H. Warner, p-opiietor of Warner’s safe cure, of this city. Sir. Warnera’so said: “My dear sir, there “are governors, senators, presidential randi ' dates, members of congress, prominent men “ard women all over the country whom I “personally know have been cured of disease, “such as General Arthursuffers from, byour “Warner’s safe cure, but owing to the circles “iu which they move they do not care to “give public testimonial to the fact.” Mr. Warner is interested in General Ar thur's case because he is personally ac ovainted with him, and he says that it is a shame that any man should be allowed to die under the operation of old-fashioned powerful cathartics, which have no furativo effects, rather than that a modern, conceded specific fcr kidney disease, whose worth is a Inowledged world-wide, should save him. “If you doubt theefficacy of Warner s safe cure,” say the proprietors, “ask your friends and neigh! ors about it. This is asking but little. They can tell you all you want to know.” “We have kept a standing offer before the public for four years,” says Mr. Warner, “that we will give $5,000 to any pers >n who can successfully dispute the genuineness, so far as we know, of the testimonials we pub lish. and none have dons it.” ■Were General Arthur a poor man. unable to be lift “in the hands of his physician.” he would us" that great remedy, as many thou sands of ojhers have done, and get well. How absurd then for people to say that everything that can be done is being done for the ex- President, bvhen the one successful remedy in the world that has cured a case like his, has not been used by tht m. The Colonel Agreed. A Detroiter who honestly won the title of “colonel” during the war was in a town in the .western part of the State the other day, and was talking over war times with several friends, when a stranger joined the group, held out his hand to the colonel, and said: •‘You are Colonel Blank, of Detroit?” “Yes.” “Well, I’m glad to see you. Colonel, do you remember the battie of South Mountain?” “I do.” “You led us in a charge there on the afternoon of th" first day. A Confeder ate bullet hit me in the shoulder and I fell. Y’ou picked me up, propped me against a stone wall and then led the boys on. Colonel, God bless you!” They shook hands again, and when the stranger had moved off one of the group said: “Why, Colonel you were not at South Mountain.” “No.” “The man is cntirelv mistaken.” “Yes.” “And why didn't you tell him so?” “Because I did not want to hurt his feelings. Such incidents occur almost daily, and I am always careful to fall into line with the man. Nothing would hurt an old veteran worse than to dis cover that his colonel not only did not pick him up on the battlefield, but that he never even heard of him by name.— Free Press. Hartl on the Old Farmer. An old Scotch farmer passionately fond of fox-hunting was one day following the chase, when he inadvertantly got out of the track of his comrades and be came entangled in a thick wo d. While anathemetizing his mi-fortune in lan guage more forcible than p ilite, a half witted village worthy appeared on the scene, to be immediately questioned by the farmer as to whether he had seen the fox. “ Ay, he went by hauf an hoor syne,” was the reply, “ Did ye speak till him?” said the farmer, thinking to compensate his mis fortunes by a laugh ut the expense of the simpleton. “ Deed did I!” came the answer. “And what said he, Tam?” asked the fa'tner. "He just said ‘Guid morning,’ an’ asked wha’s houns were oot; an’ when I tell’d him it was yours, he syne gied his tail a bit shake, an’ said, laughin’: ‘Weel, I needna hurry!’ ” A Paris surgeon kindly set the limb of a trieuds dog, and hts patient, some weeks after, brought him another dog in the same plight. Dr. Barnum, of Louis ville, reports a similar case. The patient was a black-and-tan terrier, it resisted the Doctor to the utmost, but was finally subdued and bound up. Four days later he came alone to the office and had his bandages arranged. After that he appt ared once each day and held up his leg for examination. A tool. L'rave Girl.
