The Bine Ridge Moan- tains of Virginia raise t h e i r d a r k s u m m i t s against the moonlit sky. The blast Bweeps through the narrow glens and de­ files, and plays amidst the branehes of the large trees, which resem b 1 e huge skeletons, (as their frozen' limbs, like naked bones, rattle together. Some rocks, which crown an emin­ ence, assame the shapes of towers, minarets, gateways and massive walls; the whole resembling a rniued castle, ard known throughout the country as "Castle Bocks.1' Seated on a mossy rock, In the shadow of one of the natural walls, are two per­ sons, young and well favored, and of opposite sex. He is speaking in a soft, pleading voice, she listening with half-averted face, the beauty of which is heightened by a "pink, flower-like, tell-tale blush, that mounts to the roots of her golden hair. "Lena," says the young man, in im­ passioned tones, holding her little white hand in a strong, yet tender clasp. "Lena, do not turn away from me, bnt tell the truth, whatever it may be--I cannot bear the suspense. Do you love me?" The girl makm no reply; bat tries to withdraw her trembling hand, bending her tender, blue eyes upon the ground, afraid to speak, afraid to meet his eager, imploriDg gaze. "Speak to me, Lena," cries Clarence Bertram. "A word from your lips will make me either the happiest or the most miserable man. You .would not be cruel willingly, I am sure, but you are acting oruelly, dearest, in keep­ ing 6itent, wheu my whole happiness and peace of mind are weighed in the balance." "Clarence," says the young girl, speaking in a low, sweet voice, "Clar­ ence, you know it is wrong to speak these words of lovo to me, and wrong of us both to indulge in these Btolen meetings; we must never meet again in secret. "Never!" cries the young man, pas­ sionately. "Unsay those words. Lena." "My father has forbidden me to speak to yon, and 1 must obey him, Clarenoe. "If you obey him you will marry Manfred Lowth, by whose falsehood and treachery I was driven out of my uncle's house. I would sooner see you dead at my feet than married to that hypocrite." "Marry Manfred Lowth!--I could never do that Clarence. Marry the man who* poisoned my father's mind ; against his nephew!" "Thank heaven!" says Clarence, breathing more freely, "I believe that if you consente'd to be his wife I should kill him; it is almost impossible to re­ alize how my Uncle Hirtuu can wish you Jo marrv snch a -r" "Hush," i-ays Lena, laying bar hand on his shoulder, and drawing him fur- tlier back into the shadow of the nat­ ural waif, ff§oiue one 11 coming."

Hiram Ellerly--for it was he who had eonoealed himself behind the boulder-- and Cliarenoe Bertram spring forward and pause upon the edge of the crag. "They are past all earthly help," says the farmer. "Clarence," extending his hand to his nephew, "I heard the con­ fession that Manfred Lowth made to that poor creature. I never dreamed that the son of my old schoolmate and --during his lifetime--my dearest friend, could be such a villain. Can you forgive me the great wrong I have done you?" * "Ugcle Hiram," says Clarence, tak­ ing hu uncle's hand, "I lorgive you freely and fully. But how happened tou to be here to-right ?" "I found the letter sent to Manfred Lowth by that poor creature, command­ ing him to meet her here. It was lying on the hall floor, where he had prob­ ably lost it from his pocket." . And now Lena cornea forward and, kneeling at her father's feet, begs him to forgive her for deceiving him. But Hira u Ellerly raises he»to her feet, saying: "My daughter, it is I who should ask for forgiveness." And, placing her hand in Clarence's, he continues: " Take her, Clarence; you are worthy of her. And now let us go to the house, and I will send my men to the ravine to look for the bodies of Manfred Lowth and his victim." » Half an hour later men with lanterns are searching the ravine at the foot of the orag. They find what they seek, and tenderly bear the crushed and life­ less forms to Hiram Ellerfy's mansion. BARON RA«-K*»#»ERO, Prevention < .w, Some Yerv Long Sieges, Siege of Troy, apocryphal, ten yearsJ Siege of Tyre, actual, thirteen years.1" Authorities, Bohn'a and other diction­ aries of the Bible. "Worterbuchder Schalchten," Belagerungen und Tref- fen Aller Yolker, von St. General F. Hpn Kausler (B. C. 572-585, i., 101). "Sieges et Capitulations Celebres," 63, 64. Ezekiel xxvi, xxvii,, xxviii. The longest modern sieges since artillery has assumed its proper functions were: 1. Siege of Ostend by the Spaniards, 1601-1604--three years. Like Tyre, Ostend could be succored from the sea. The garrison only capit­ ulated when the town and works weye literally mere masses of ruins. 2. Siege of Gibraltar, attacked by land and sea by French and Spaniards, 1779-1783, for four years. This defense by the English stands without a parallel in the annals of war. 3. During the thirty years* war, Olmutz, taken by Tortensen in 1642, was besieged or blockaded for six years, from 1642 to 1648, and was still held by the Swedes in 1650, when they gave it up in accordance with agreement, not compulsion. Other examples of astonishingly long sieges are cited by Notes and Queries. Constantinople might be said to have been beseiged by either Persians or Turks from A. D. 626 to 675. From 668 to 675 the Turks repeated their at­ tacks yearly. From 675 to 1452, when taken by assault by Mahomet IL it was as much besieged as Troy actually was, if at all, for the poor Byzantine Greeks had to be on their guard continually, and they were liable to attaok any month or year. • • , " The Power at Plants. Experiments of a peculiar charaoter have been carried out at several of the noted agricultural colleges of the United States during the pass summer, the ob­ ject being to ascertain the Sifting power of growing plants of different species. Farmers are well acquainted with the fact that the roots of trees will disrupt and sometimea overturn a stone wall, but the lifting power of tender vegeta­ bles is equally surprising. The one result which has, perhaps, attracted the greatest attention is the discovery that a weight of two and a half tons can be lifted by the common Yankee pumpkin in th«cours*of its de­ velopment. Dr. Carpenter relates the story of a paving stone, weighing eighty-three pounds, that was raised from its bed (when joined by others on all four sides) by such a soft piece of fungi as the com­ mon mushroom. And still another and more remarkable story is added to the above. A man having a cask of sweet wine, placed in an empty cellar to mature. When examined several years later it had risen irom the floor of the cellar to (be ceiling, having been borne upward upon the tender shoots gfaxipe fungu*, with which the cellar was filled.-*-Gol­ den Days. *r»-- ~""" Tom Thumb'* WIDOW; A tiny coach, about the oi a Sar­ atoga trunk, and drawn by a pair of Shetland ponies^ pfcssfed up "Wabash avenue.

Occasionally people who laud their own possessions to the disadvantage of their own neighbor's receive an un­ expected check. A botanist took a party of ladies and gentlemen over his grounds, pointing out the rarest among his plants and flowers, and explaining their virtues. One of the visitors was an elderly miss, who appeared to take infinite delight in declaring, whenever she bad a chance, that the plants and flowers in her own garden were at least as beautiful as those in the botanist's. Just as they were passing a giaat cac­ tus, she exclaimed: "Oh! that is nothing extraordinary. 1 have a much larger cactus at home.

Following is the true story how Baron FalkelBberg came to haunt the German ooeaa. One day he was in- rited to the wedding feast of a long-lost brother who returned home suddenly with a pocketful of coin in order to marry a gentle village maiden upon whom Falkenberg himself hed his eye. Et was annoying, but still as the Baron found his brother was the favored one, and as he himself was.nhort of cash, he thought it better to be amiable to his brother, so he went to the feast pre­ pared to perform the "bless-you-my- children" act in due orthodox style. The champagne was capital, and the menus one that the soul of the Baron loved. Therefore, by the time the bride withdrew to don her traveling dress, and the guests were gathered in the hall with mysterious packets in their hands, the Baron was "mellow* enough for anything. Unfortunately, however, his brother touched him up in the wrong place and turned his good mature to a perfect frenzy, which re­ sulted in his seizing a champagne bottle and hitting his brother on the head. The brother fell like a log just as his bride ran screaming into the room. The Baron tried to induce her to ac­ cept his love and fly with him, but she declared she would sooner die. Taking her at her word, the Baron plunged a knife into her heart. As the guests, attracted by the nOt&e, began to arrive to inquire into its cause, the Baron thought he had better go out for a short walk, and he went--in a fit of absent-mindedness taking his brother's purse and pQcket-book with him. He sauntered down to the shore as the quietest place for considering what was* next to be done, and there he found a boat with her nose on the beach and a man sitting in her, who got up as the Baron approached, and respeotfully extended a hand to help him aboard. "The captain expects you, Baron," said the boatman; "our /ship lies out yonder." The Baron en- FIKROH TLIA WINF atiH • A Good Idea. An easy method of securing plenty ©f good reading at a nominal expense is that adopted in some Western towns. Each one of several hundred people subscribes one dollar a y ar and selects any book at that price which he desires to own. All the books selected are then placed in a temporary library, and every subscriber has the privilege of reading each one. At the end of the year the subscribers draw out the books they originally selected, so that the cost of the year's reading is practically nothing.

The London Standard's correspond­ ent at Vienna • writes as follows: The Stamp Exhibition is draw­ ing a large number of visitors every day. The collection is one of the most complete that has ever been trot together, and the unlearned in such matters are amazed «t the divi­ sions and subdivisions that are neoes- sary for proper classification. Even the rarities must be subdivided, and any collector worth his salt will prize more the "errors," from their greater likelihood of being unique, than the class of rarities qualified as such by be­ ing scarce. Mr. Giwelb showed me, for instance, with as much pride as the occasion war­ ranted, the "errors" of France, a stamp of 25 centimes, printed in blue instead of black, and with-»^U greater satisfac­ tion, the "error" of Afghanistan, a stamp with a missing ornament in A corner; and his voice was raised to the pitch of admiration when he spoke of the rare "error" of Lubeck, and still more of the two rare "errors" of the Cape of Good Hope, exhibited by Dr. Mailman, of Vienna, stamps of one penny and four pence respectively, which are blue instead of red, and red instead of blue. Such "errors" fotch a very high price, kept down only bv the easiness of creating new "values by wanton misprinting. Great rarities are four specimens of British Guiana and New Zealand stamps of 1850, all with the signature of the .Postmaster, exhibited by Mr. Douglas Garth, who values one of these stamps (rose in faded color) at not less than £76; another one (yellow) at £20, eta Bare is also the black Canada twelve- penny STAMP? exhibited by Mr. Charles Colmati, of Woodvi lie, Kew, for which the owner himself paid £25. As al­ most "unattainable" are considered the two first issues of Sandwich stamps, 5 cents and 13 cents, in the very rare col­ lection of Mr. Giwelb, London; and not less prized aro two Tasmanian stamps of the first issue, each four- pence, declared to be nearly unique, being printed on "laid paper," the for­ tunate owner of which is M.

The baron was once severely wounded in battle in both legs. The wound iu one leg was much like that in the other. It struck him that here was a chance to study the ways of the surgical profes­ sion and beguile the long hours of his convalescence. He accordingly called in one doctor, and gave him charge of his right leg, but told him nothing about the wound in the other, and then called in another surgeon for his left leg, keeping him similarly i& ignorance about the wounded right leg: The doctors adopted A vary different mode of treatment, but both wounds healed at about the same time. When the baron's legs were quite well, he de­ rived A great deal ,of amusement from getting the doctors together and mysti­ fying them with questions about 4H« way each had treated "his leg."
