"I Wish year uncle were at home," said Mrs. Tyrrel, nervously; "only yesterday 7 wf#e reading about a burp lury that, took place in Norfolk, only two counties away from Oxslippes; and I do not like the look of the man at all. How often I have entreated your uncle to ikeep the silver at the bank, bwt he always says, 'Whateood are the forks and spoons to us if not Jn use?' So oven poor Aunt Chevning's butter-dish and the sconces that were Uncle Boone'* are out on the side­ board; they will be swept away one night unless we have bells on the shutters and doors." •"t)o not be frightened, Laurel," said Ella Tyrrel, handing a cup of tea to their visitor, newly arrived from London, "the electric bells are already ordered, and will soon be put up, and in future Giddes says she will take up the butter-dish as well as the plate basket, when she goes to bed. I will be responsible for the sconces, and perhaps vou could look after the silver imajres--Pun with his flute, you know, and Diana with her bow." "That I will,"'said Laurel Kirke, valiently. "I had no idea burglars were in the neighborhood; it will be quite an adventure. There is really nothing to fear, auntie; you forgot I have taken fencing lessons, and that I received a prize tor gymnastics." "Very much to your credit, mv dear," replied her aunt, "but I can­ not quite see how you could save our plate; you would be no match for the suspicious looking stranger that -un­ doubtedly prowls around the Manor, and old Parker at the Lodge is grow­ ing too iailrni to cope with what will probably be an attack of a savage band of masked and violent robbers." "He certainly has a sinister expres­ sion," said Ella. "They say there is a peculiar kind of physiognomy at­ tached to the criminal classes; poor man! perhaps everything in liie has been against him." "But why not have him arrested?" asked Laurel, "if a suspicious char­ acter be prowling about OxslippesV 4*Oh, my dear," said Mrs. Tyrrei, "we can prove nothing, but his looks are certainly against him. Marv nearly had hysteria when she found hiui in the kitchen-garden one morn­ ing., and poor Giddes ran for her life 'when she came across him in the sum­ mer-house: she said lie was fumbling at something he held inside a bag on the arbor-table--most likely he had stolen a chicken, but he might ( have had a revolver there, so she did well to-run." "I saw him myself," said Ella, prowling among the pigs at Farmer Johnson's. Jiobodj knows anything about him, whether he walks over from Stonebridge, or whethef he sleeps in barns or outhouses. Our constable is on the watch, but as yet he has not come across the vagrant: I only hope he has by this time taken himself off." "Your uncle will behomeon Friday next--that is one comfort," sighed Mrs. Tyrrel to Laurel, who privately rather enjoyed the thought of an ad­ venture; life had of late seemed to this young damsel somewhat "stale, flat and unprofitable." When the girls were left alone, the subject of the burglar dropped into oblivion. Ella had many questions to ask respecting a certain Mr. Chris­ topher Gooding, whose name rumor had coupled with that of her London cousin. "There was nothing in it at all." said Laurel, father imffitiently; "please, Ella, let the name in ques­ tion be forgotten between us. 1 cer­ tainly was engaged to him for awhile, but we found that our'dispositions were incompatible, and we parted by mutual consent." "The fact is. Laurel," said Ella, with the severity of approaching matronhood, "you gave way to one of your unreasonable lits of temper, and you were too proud to make up the little difference, but there! I did not mean to make you cry; if you really regret the misunderstanding--" "I don't regret it at all." sobbed Laurel, "only I am tired after travel­ ing, and I certainly think, Cousin Ella, you are very unkind. Was he not really tared for" yott he will try his fate again." After dinner Mr. Collyer, the curate, paid a visit to the Manor, and was considerably left to the conversa­ tion of Ella, his betrothed; Laurel played chess with her aunt, but the game was of a disquiet nature, inas­ much as Mrs. Tyrrel was ennstantly hearing noises, and opining that the maids had left doors and windows open by mistake. And Laurel, as *he waged the mimic battle, was thinking of one wandering perchance than ever<i as the girl's t^Pt> trembling hands fluttered to his own. "I thought you had long since forgotten all about me. Did you not tell me, my cab being delayed last month by stoppage, I must forego all claim to your memory and your affections?" "Oh, Chris, forget my wicked tem­ per that day; forgive me--1 longed to write--but they said you had gone abroad." "I intended doing so ere long, my darling, but now I think I shall alter my plana Where's that man Hobbs? over Asiatic plains, driven across the j I owe him a testimonial for insisting the ocean bv cold, unfeeling twowls, and a broken promise. The next day was free from alarms, with the exception of a vague rumor that the mysterious stranger had been observed crouching within aa old mill, with gaze intent upon the revolving wheel; the roncral opinion appeared to be that he wits a harmless imbecile,, for, as Giddes said, what sane man would stare at a mill- wheel, and crouch almost on all fours? On Friday Mr. Tj-rrd Tetumed, and, being free from nervousness him­ self, he spread around him a cheery atmosphere, till on Saturday morn­ ing tbe agitation as to the vagrant was redoubled and reached its climax, «[f you please, master," said Gid­ des, appearing while the family were at breakfast, "he's caught and Hobbs is here, desiring to see you particu­ lar." "•Boyon mean the burglar?" asked "Mys. Tyrrel, trembl ingl y. *1 won­ der if Hobbs caught bim in the act of rubbery!

Oh, my dear James, if the burglar be indeed tn custody, do ndt confront him alone, -1 entreat you; he 'may be concealing firearms, and 'the consequences are too dreadful to contemplate. Let me accompany you, I^will perish wifch you, if need be." •'He's handcuffed, and a dangerous character he is. as I've'told you this week past, ma'am: it's a wonder we haven't all of us been slain, but I'm thankful to say the guilty party will now be stopped in his evil courses." Mr. . Tyrrel, being a magistrate, pro­ ceeded to the lobby communicating with his library, where Hobbs and his prisoner awaited him; the ladies clinging to each other, followed him nervously, and Giddes, being inter­ ested in the safety of the constable, a special friend of her own brought up the rear. "Begging your pardon for disturb­ ing of you during your breakfast," said Hobbs. "I have ventured to ar­ rest the accused as a rogue and vaga­ bond, having found him with my own eyes a-prancing round and about your own prize goat, your worship, in the paddock, which he newr could have got in save and except by 'climbing over the fence, and nodoubfwith a view to steal the poor dumbcrcature. Moreover, he says he has no home and no address, which doubtless means he is an out-an-out London thief." The accused, meanwhile, looked unconcerned, and even a little amused at the constable's discourse, but his face suddenly changed as Laurel Kirke rushed forward, threw herself before him, and burst into passionate entreaty. "Oh, uncle, he is innocent--it is Chris! As if Chris could be a burg­ lar. or want to steal your goat! He is the best, the truest, grandest one in ail the world! Oh, uncle, do save him from Hobbs! Do believe me--I would answer for his goodness with my life. If Chris has been prowling, it is because my wicked temper has robbed him of his reason. Aunt, how could any one say his looks were against hi ml"" and Laurel ciung to the prisoner, disregarding the sur­ prise and indignation around. * If there's been any mistake, miss, 1 humbly begs to apologize," said the constable, uiuch bewildered; "but what could th is waga--gent be want­ ing with his honorable worship's prize goatv" "Permit me to explain," said the prisoner. "Our good friend here re­ fused to listen to my protest against these handcuffs, declaring that my I words would be used against myself: I several stout villagers assisted him in on bringing me to the Manor. "Uncle whispered to mc to bring you to breakfast," said Laurel, the smiles breaking out like April sun­ shine: *'ywu must take us all in a group, Chris. Oh, how little 1 thought what to-day would bring, when Giddes appeared to rcportyou in custody!" •"All's well that ends we.l," re­ marked her tiance, as he followed her to the breakfast-room, and received the merry congratulations of his fu­ ture relatives., "itut we won't fall out again, little woman; even my Detective Camera could hot heal the soreness in mv heart. I have thought of a plan to p-event the risk" of my •losing sight of you again." And t he sthenic resulted in a double wedding next month at Oxslippes, Hobbs having hts hands full in keep­ ing order round tne Manor gates, so deep was the popular interest in the two fair cousins who graced the oc- casion as brides. --Waverly Magazine.

'It being the first encounter with 'the selection, the notes that were missed would have sufficed to make up a little oratorio all by themselves.

Having Stumps. To get rid of large stumps get a straight tree twentv-flve to thirty feet and eighteen to twenty incnes through at the butt. Any length or size can be used, according to the power desired. Jfext get a strong chain, the stronger the better. At­ tach a good yoke of cattle to the small end of the lever and draw it to the stump. Now pass your ttigchain around a large root And the lever at . the same time, about three feet from episodes j^e butt. Fasten the chain tightly, and start the team, driving on a cir­ cle. See how easily the stump will twist. A small stump will come out whole, but large onefe will usually split, in two or three pieces. These can lie piled arid burned clean after drying a short time. We have used one to clepr several acres oif large stumps, and it did the business and left the stump in good shape to dry.

D., was for many years a traveling agent of the American Bible Society in the Southwest. For a part of that time he rode a horse of which he was justly proud, and of which be speaks again and again, always in terms of eulogy, in his volume of reminiscences, "In the Brush." One night he arrived at a celebrated watering-place. A four- horse stage-coach drove up at the same time, and Dr. Pierson noticed the eyes of the driver and the passen­ gers fixed admiringly upon hi« "Jenny." The colporteur entered the hotel, registered his name--with­ out prefix--and went to the wash­ room. As he finished his ablutions and stood wiping his face, the stage- driver burst into the room with g;,.eat excitement "Mr. Pierson," he said, "will you allow your horse to run? The money is up, ana we'll have a race if you'll only say the word." As he spoke he shook in the agent's face a mass of bank-bills drawn through his fingers after the manner of gamblers in those parts. Mr. Pierson was startled to heai his name pronounced in this way by a stranger, but bethought himself at once of the hotel register. Just then a servant appeared with his saddle­ bags, waiting to show him to hie room, and with an abrupt, emphatic "No, sir!" he turned away. In due time the supper-bell rang, and Mr. Pierson stepped out of his room upon the piazza. There he en­ countered a gentleman who at once approached him pleasantly and said: "I hope, sir," you will reconsider yout decision, and allow your mare to run., I have made a bet that she can outrun anything here, and the money is up. Allow me to say that I ain an old Virginian, and a judge of horses, and if you \pill let her run I am sure to win." By this time the Bible Society's agent had recovered his self-pos­ session. He bowed politely to his Virginian friend, and said: "Do you think, sir, it will do for a Presbyterian clergyman to commence horse-racing so soon after reaching the Springs?" Now it was the other man's turn to be flustered. He did not say a word, and Dr. Pierson went in to supper. When he came out again, the stranger made to him in the most respectful manner. "Allow me to speak to you again, sir, I wish to apologize. I beg your pardon, sir. I assure you, sir, that nothing would induce me knowingly to insult a clergyman." Dr. Pierson made some go^d-natured reply, and thought nothing more about the. matter. The next winter, in passing through another " part of the country, he stopped at a blacksmith shop to get a shoe tightened. "Wasn't you at the Springs last summer with this mare?" said the blacksmith. The doctor answered in the affirma­ tive. "Well," said the blacksmith, pat­ ting the mare's neck and looking into vacancy with a pleased expression, as if he were living over again some pleasant scene, "they got her out, preacher, and run her, anyway." Then, as if to make the matter all right with the owner, he looked up into his face with a smile and an em­ phatic nod as he added, "And, preacher, she beat, she did. He woi* his money."

I hope nobody is wasting- pity on the Henry Astor who was with such bitter expiicitness cut out of his rich brot her's will. "It is my will and in­ tention," the pious testator wrote, "that neither my brother Henry nor his issue shall as heirs-at-law or next of kin receive any portion of my es­ tate, and any such portion to which he or they would in any contingency be entitled 1 give to the trustees of the Astor Library." If you have a taste for the manifestations of broth- erljrftmv mark the deliberate ingen­ uity of this precious testament, the thoughtful malice with which the man proclaims his forgiveness to the son of his mother; how he pondered in his own mind this dainty morsel of hate and handed it to his lawyer to be embalmed in impregnable form and so shelved among the archives of the Astors. All the world knows the reason why. Twenty-five years ago Henry Astor married "a country girl," a nobody, and withdrew to live with her in the peace and quiet of the farm. He felt an honest impulse and yielded to it: gave way to, an hon- est sentiment; loved a woman and was man enough to' tell her, so; won her love and would not throw it awav --no, not to serve the ignoble ambi­ tion of a purse-proud pelter. There­ fore he was an anathema. His fa­ ther branded him as an unworthy son and his brother, coming into the heritage of hate, cherished it in 1m heart and passed it in turn to his son, together with the swollen millions. Great is mammon and worthy to be praised! By Heaven! if such wealth breeds such hardness of heart it is nc wonder and no pity that the - most of us are poor.--Chicago Post. The Best Sunshine, All sunshine is delightful, but the best of all kinds is sunshine,m the home--the sunshine of a lovfnar, cheerful spirit. Better even > than the sunlight and warmth of Heaven is that of a cheerful face, having, aa Hr-does, a, kind and cheerful heart. No one understands it. or fails to feel its inflivence. A bright eye, an un­ clouded brow, a loving word, all tell of peace, joy and delight in the pleas­ ure of others. One glance at such a face has lifted the mists and shadows from many a heavy heart, and scat­ tered the fogs from many a burdened spirit A bright, warm, cheerful face inside the home will drive away sadness and gloom and make it im­ possible for them to exist. The germs of disease, Which at times mav lurk in the most elegantly furnished rooms if kept dark, will vanish before the bright and cheery sunlight And so it is wi£h human beings as with rooms. Open, then, the windows ol your i heart, and let the sunshine come in. • WHEN a girl Is 16, her mother stands behind her to let the people Bee bow pretty she is, but if she hiii a son near that age, she stands m front of him to shield his Jeftka.

XII Bellvillk, IU., NOV. *88. ® am 97 years of age now; sine® I was 18 years old I was a sufferer of epilepsy. In Germany I wag treated by one of the be@g physicians for five years, but Do relief. I then came to Ameri­ ca and here I tried many so-called cures for that terrible disease, but 1 was so disappointed that I gave up all hopfte of ever getting rid of it, be­ cause 1 didn't ever get relief. Bat after all I was soon convinced that, there is a real remedy, which really cures epilepsy. In the month of April I oommt'iieed to take Pastor Koenig's Nerve Tonic, the effect of whlofa was so marvel­ ous that only once since then the fits returned, but now five months have elapsed and not a symptom of tlie disease showed itself. I am, therefore, convinced that the Nerve Tonic is a real cure for epilepsy and shaU always hold it In gmiofui letiMunbnuM*. A. MCCKENSTC&H.
