Little pools of wat- er in the red roall were beginning to glitter and grow rosy from the far-flushing cast, but there was no trace of the owner of the shining wnii. He knew that there was no woman in camp, and nuumghis few com- rades in the settlement he remembered to have seeunoue “1. lug an ornament like that. \gain, the coincidence of the inscrip- tion to his rather peculiar nicknmue would have been a perenninl source of playful com- ment in n. camp that nlmle no allowance for sentimental memories.

("ass knew lg: the lurid cloud of dust that hi l the distance that the up coach had passed. He had already reached that stageof superstition: when the most trivial Occurrence seemed to point in some way to an elucidation of the mystery of his treasure. His eyes had mechanically fallen to the ground again, as if he half ex- pected to find in some other waif a hint or corroboration of his imaginings. Thus ah- stracted, the figure of a young girl on horse- back, in the road directly lit-fore the bushes he emerged from, appeared tu have sprung directly {ram the ground. "Oh, come here. please do: quick!" Cass stared, andthen moved hesitatingly toward her. In spite of thisuppalling introduction Cass could not but notice that. the voice, although hurried and excite-l, was by no means agit~ uted or frightened ; that the vycs which lucked into his sparkle-l with u cwtnin kind of pleased curiosity. “It was just lwi‘c," she \\'cut mn'ivaciuus- 1y, ”just hurc that. 1 went into the bush and cut 3 switch for my mungâ€"and â€"" leading ut you re not loooking the right way," the girl went on almrply; “look there!" Cass followed the direction of her whip. At last, what might: have seemed :1 cont thrown carelessly on the ground met his eye but presently he became aware of a white, rigid, nimlcsxly clenched hand protruding from the ilacid sleeve; mingled with it in some nhsurd way and half hidden by the gmsx, lay what might have been a pair of cast-off trousers but for two rigid hoots that pointed in opposite :uiL'les to the sky. It. was :ideml man. So palpahly dead that life seemed to have taken flight from his very clothes. So impotent, for-hie, and degraded by them that tile naked subject of a. Tlisscc- ting table would have been less insulting to humanity. The head had fallen back, and was partly hidden in u gopher burrow, but the white, upturned face and closed eyes had less of helpless death in thcnithan those wretched enwrnppings.

Evidence was afterward offered to show it was the property of a Mr. Cass Beard of Blazing Star, who appeared upon the scene uftrr the discovery ol the corpse by Miss Porter. Ho alleged he had dropped it in lifting the un- fortunate remaina of the deceased. Much amusement was created in court by the sen- timental confusion of the claimant, anda certain partisan spirit shown by his fellow miners of Blazing: Star. It appearing how- ever, by the admission of this sighing Stre- phon ot‘ the Foot Hills, that ho had himself Jbllllll this pledge of affection, lying in the highway, six months previous, the Loroner wisely placed it in the safe keeping of the County Court, until the appearance of the rightful owner." “12%;me ling," shc said, “looks like an engagement ring. Something is written on it. Look! May to C35." ”Then ye’ll have no (lifliculty in pruviu‘ it," said Horusby coolly. “Just now, how- ever, We‘ve found it, and we propose tokccp it. for the inquest.“ The inquesf. n any or two later, was prumpt and final. No clue to the dead man’s identity; no evidence sulheiently strong to prove murder or suicide: no trace of any kind, inculpating any party knnwn or unknown, were round. But. much publi~ city and interest were given to thc proceed- ings hy the presence of the principal wit- ness, a handsome girl. “ To the pluck,por- sisteney, and intellect of Miss Porter,” said the Rat Uliiel'Recorder, " Tnolnmne Coun- ty owes the discovery of the bmlv."

One can notjudge from the briefnecountu given what are the precise enuses of such disasters, but there i3 reason to believe that ignorance is prolific; that many persons have only a vague knowledge of the qualities of nitroglycerine, can not recognize it when "they see it. and are not acquainted with the .-...- y' various frame in which it is compounded or with the peculimmdangers of handling itl carelessly. Nitro-glycerine itself isadensc, yellowish liquid, but. in order to diminish the danger attending its use, iiue earth, ground mien, sawdust, or some similar pow- der, is saturated with it. and thus the var. i- ons blasting-powders known as dynamite, mica-powder, dualin, rend-rock, etc., are found. The compounds can be transported with comparative safety. But the nitro- glycerine easily drains of? from the powder and oozes from any crevice in the vessel in = which the compound is kept. Drops of it: thus bedewing the edges of a box may very ‘ easily be mistaken for oil escaping, and if .workmen ignorautly endeavor to nail the box lighter or to open in for examination there will be a disastrous explosion. Sever- al have occurred in past years in this way. I The victims knew, no doubt,tlmt nitro-gly- cerine (or the compounds) may he exploded ‘ by a blow («ontact with fire is not necdful), | i but they did not suspect that the innocent- l looking oil was nitro-glycerine. Why should l not youth be taught in the schools Home-l what of the practical dangers of these sub- l stances which are coming into such common use? They would pursue the study with‘ interest. especially if they were judicious experimenw. A Missouri storyiia that a teacher confiscated a small metal hox which a pupil was playing with in behool hours, and. thinking it contained chewing-gum, tried to break it open with a hammer. it was a dynamite torpedo of the kind used on the railway-track as a danger signal. and ‘lnrge bio: of it had to be cut out of the l lady's cheek. “'ould it not have been Well it Elli: had known eomewhat of the mpect oi torpedoes? \\'aa it not more important to the journeyman plumber who threw the 'lightud match into the pan of cainphene. mistaking it for water. by which the great printing esmblislnnent of Franklin Square was hurnt some twenty-eight year-1 ago. to Lnow ramphenr. by right than to have mem- orized many of the matters prominent in n l public-school course?

If a young man was willing to deny i himself and work hard so that in the future i he need not work. he could do so. But he ! could not spend the whole of his earnings on i )lcasuro and enjoy prosperity in the futune. ; in man wanted to be independent he must ‘ earn, and could do as thousands did: begin whero their fathers lcft oil. If we wanted 3 prosperity lvcfore it was earned, we would i be trapped in our own folly. If a man was ; willing to give his body and soul to work. 1 at the age of 35 he ought to be able to stand independent of the world. As he acquired property he unfolded his faculties. and his ore for the beautiful carried him further 5 and further away from auinmlism. The use ‘ of luxnryand the beautiful was but imper- fectly understood. Self-denial, honesty, truth and earnestness were principle: ox i prosmrity. and luck damned a man.
