We were both “By th-e love you bear usâ€"by the memory of all you hold dear on earth, and all you hope to meetin heavenâ€"cast Thos_e two warm spirits with their cries and their tears, melted the icy crust, and our hearts found the surface. “O, in God’s name be enemies no may?” Implored Clara: Two gentle maidens, who loved us better than we loved ourselves, and whose love led them to deep anxiety in our behalf, and guessed our secret. ‘Love has sharp eyes. Clara. Wolcott knew Laban’s hot temper when under strong excitement, and she had feared something of this kind from the first. She had Only to whisper her suspicions to Mary, and two sleepless sentinelSl were upon us. I Only a. breath held back that last {fatal word; But that word was never spoken. As we raised our pistols, a sharp, agonizing cry as from a. break- ing heart, L-urst upon the air; and in another moment two slight shadows flitted upon the scene. I was a. prison- er, Laban Adams was a. prisoner. Our pistols lay undischarged upon the sand. i l Our seconds hesitated,as though they saw what was passing in our thoughts; but offered no word, and they proceed- ed. The word One was given. I canâ€" not tell all the feelings that came [crowding upon me at that moment. I i Stood face to face with my brother; m a moment we were to offer our hands to the infernal stain. I thought of my mother in her distant home; I thought 'Of the senses of my childhood, bright and promising; I thought of my college days, when Laban Adams had been my friend and chum; I thought of the holy love which had beamed upon me since I had grown to man’s estate, and I thought that, in one short moment more, the black pal] might cover it all! Watkins was a longtime 1n pronounc- ing the word Two. He evidently hoped that one of us would relont. But he honed in vain. But I dared not offer the hand of conciliation. I told him I was ready, He went to Watkins, and pretty soon they measured 03' the groundâ€"twelve paces. We were to stand back to back those twelve paces apart. We were to turn at the word One; we to raise our ’mstols at the word Two; and at the i word Three we were to fire. 1 caught ‘ . the eye of Laban Adams as I took my; position, and I was sure that an angry ’passion dwelt therein. For an instant IIthe impulse was with me to throw Idown the pistol, and offer my hand! I was sure he would not reffise me. But I had not the courage to do It. I would rather do that deep, damn- ing wrong than do thatsimple Christian act of love! fall. ' He informed me that if I would make the least overture of peace, be jfelt sure that Adams would accept it. “I think,” he said. “that Adams is sorry for what has happened. You “And he called me a liar!" l “I know he did; and I know that he‘ did wrong. In fact. there was wrong on both sides. Offer him your hand, and I think he will take it without a word of explanation.” No. I would not do it! And why not? I wanted to do it. My heart urged me to do it. The spirit of my dear mother. speaking in [those old lessons of love and blessing, urged me to do it. And another spirit, clothed, in younger, starry love. urged me to do it, And yet I would not. I was afraid that men would say I wasa coward . 0’ what a precious coward I was!

Of course news of the discovery spread rapidly, and multitudes ot applications for seed flowed in like the incoming tide and thus enabled the disconsolate widow and children to turn the cause of their bereavement into a means of maintenance and support. The wind of affliction was: thus tempered. to these shorn lambsl "1L-“ ‘1 appearance or a huge bunch of bananas. When the) got ripe they began to Shrivel and dry up, and so did the man. His sap was all gone and he died. The doctors procured the consent of the family to permit an autopsy to be made for the benefit of science, and they cut into him with their knives. and to their amazement found no flesh, no blood, no bones, no muscles, no sinews, no veins, no arteries; but found only one solid mass of cucumber seeds. It was so remarkable that it would be useless to have the remains interred and foolish to have them cremated, and the widow, concluded that she would keep them in the house. She had the corpse hung up by the hair in the barn. The next spring some of the children picked up some of] the seed which had dropped on the floor * and planted them. i Each had a different remedy, but all disagreed. So there was some hope that the patient would get well. But the small cucumbers grew into big ones, and his whole body was completely covered with them from head to foot, and they commenced to ripen and turn yellow and hang down, and the man assumed the appearance of a huge bunch of bananas.

To the great surprise of everybody, these little erysipelas pimnlesassumed the appearance and form of small cucumbers. and continued to grow. Although Benson kept well and hearty he was compelled to strip himself and take to bed; Of course the news of this strange phenomenon lspread far and wide. and the doctors and ‘ scientific men visited him from various; ~sections of the country. One prescribed T ‘one thing and one another.

' the government of Paraguay has given nearly 500,000 acres of good land for settlement to Austrian colonists, others of suitable standing in means ‘ and character who join them, and there ‘ is an expectation that 10,000 persons may settle on the lands. All who go from old or new Australia are teetotlers and have a considerable amount saved, and the loss of a few thousand men of If that stamp is a serious matter. South Australia, has, therefore, passed a village 1settlement act, under which those who want to cultivate land are very favor- ably dealtwith.

In point of fact, there are few eople ‘: busier than the society girl. n the b I first place, It is no light task to keep up a wardrobe such as one needs who is perpetually going to vlnncheons, dinners, and receptions. One or two gowns in a season are not enough, there must be bewitching changes for numerous oc- casxons. Every costume must have its dainty accessoriesâ€"gloves, fans. slipâ€" pers, ribbons, laces, flowers, and what not. The slightest carelessness in the 1 details of a beautiful costume may ruin 1 its etfectiveness. All fathers are not equally lavish, and all society girls do not possess an income commensurate with their wants. Some of them have to skimp and plan in a. way that is very trying.
