A WfO.TIAS-Si HTOBT.
I had just entered my seventh year
wben my father, M. Viele, gare me &
new mother intbe person of the hand
somo and imperi-jus widow of one,
Col. Lalor, and a brotber in Mrs. La
lor's only child, a boy of twelve.
Albert Lalor, witb his handsome
face, etrong will and pleasant ways,
Eooi became my master, ruling my
impetuous spirit with a success that
no ono else could. Madame Viele
locked on with a prond, geli-eatigSed
smile, and more than once I heard
her murmur in her sweet, imperious
tones :
"They must marry, Philippe,
Your Vi mnst be my Albert's wife."
And my father would .laugh and
nod hia head approvingly, evidently
well pleased with the idea.
Eat these happy days slipped all
by too rapidly.
ily fatcer died. Alber: wan fin
ishing his collegiate course. I, in
accordance with my father's will, was
sent to Paris to be finished under tbe
care of bis old and valued friend,
Madame Duponte. Four years later
I returned to my step-motber.
It was near the close of a bleak
winter day that I reached Gray FelL
Bat bleak as it was, my handsome,
stately step-mother met me on tbe
steps of the great pillard portico.
"Ah !" she exclaimed, half under
her breath, as she held me off a mo
ment and keenly scrutinized me with
her great lustrous black eyes. Then
a warm smile parted her lips, and
kissing me tenderly, she added :
"Yoa are beautiful, my child far
more beautiful than I imagined. Al
bert will be charmed. Ah, a blush,
dearest? You have not forgotten mv
old hope, then! But come, come,
dear ; the air is bitterly keen."
And gathering up the shining
length of her black satin she swept
queen-like before me, pausing only
long enougn in the ball to aaow a
kindly word or two to tbe assembled
servants.
Then, with a rare condescension,
she led me op stairs to my chamber.
As we entered the dressing room
e glanced at the time piece and
turned to my maid.
"Take Mademoiselle a wraps, Man-
ton," she said quickly and imperious
ly, "and then lay cut some of her
handsomest dresses ;" adding smil
ingly, as her eyes returned to me, "I
shall superintend your toilet this
evening', my dear. Dinner will be
seived in less than an hour, and I
want you to appear at your best
when yoa descend to the drawing
room. Albert shall be dazzled ot fiivt
sight."
hen we entered the 'jrilnaatlv
lighted drawing room it was tenanted
by two personsa handsome, kindly
locking man. whom I recognized at
once as my step-brother, and a tali,
slender girl with heavenly blue eye?,
pearly tkin and a shimmering crown
of pale, golden hair.
A la: at damask noted the girl's
cheek as we entered, and I noticed
that tne gentleman rose with suspi
cious ba-te from the chair very close
to her own. I fancied, too. that he
had even more hastily dropped one
of tbe dainty white Lands tojing with
a bancb of blue forget-me-nots that
matched a tiny cluster half hidden in
the flossy gold of her lovely hair.
I bad heard of this fair girl, and
that ber home would henceforth be at
Gray FelL Bat for the first time it
occurred to me that she might be
destined to step between me and tbe
man I had slowlv learned to thick of
only t o tenderly.
i itb a sharp, jealous pang I ex
tended ray hand to Albert Lalor, who
bad hastened to me, his fine eyes
glowing with admiration and pleas
ure. . .
II is greeting was cordial, and evi
dently pleased his mcher.
"But why don't you kias her, my
son. in the old days J" she smiled
And with an answering smile, Al
bert bent his grand bead and pressed
bis bearded lips tightly to mine.
"Ab, what a charming blush !"
laogbed my step-mother, touching my
glowing cheek caressingly with her
soft, white fingers.
J smiled, bat my bean throbbed
painfully under tbe ruby velvet bo
dies Uat became me so well. Be

leaped from tenderness to a full,
fierce, passionate love.
I lifted my eyes, lustrous with the
new bora feeling, to the haadsome.
smiling face of my brotber, and again
my heart swelled with jealous pain at
sight of its unruffled calm.
Bi t the next moment Madame Vi
ele claimed my attention.
"Vi, dearest, my great niece, Peri
Ilolbrook." She smiled.
I turned my - eyes from Albert's
face to meet the eager half-affrighted
gaze of the golder-baired girl I csuld
not but admire. - -' ' '
I bowed, and somewhat coldly ac
cepted tbe proffered hand, and an
swered the few mqsical words of gen
tle welcome. Then I involuntarily
flashed a swift glance at Albert.
Ah, how the blood leaped through
my veins ! And how I hated the
charming creature standing before
me, so regally graceful and sweet.
Yes, I bated her, for there could be
no mistaking the brooding tenderness
and passion with ' which my step
brother was regarding ber.
Bat only for an instant did his
eyes betray him ; and as the pleasant
boars of the evening flew by, I grew?
half disposed to laagh at my jealous
pain. Nevertheless, when my step
mother followed rae to my room I
smiled lightly.
"Peri, is very lovely, mamma, and
Albert seems to admire her."
Madame Viele turned a glance up
on me that covered my face with a
flood cf color. f 1
"Nay, nay," shelaoghed softly the
next instant, winding ber arm caress
ingly about me.
"You have no causes for jealousy,
my love. Albert In heart-whole, and
knows well that it is my wish to see
him your husband.' Knowing thi?,"
she added with a haughty sternness,
"he would not dare brave me by lov
ing anotber." i
Then, with a swift return to her
former tenderness, she continued:
"My dear child, I trust you can make
mo happy by lovisg my handrome
and noble son V ,1
"Don't rash into jealousy, Vi... Pe
ri is a good and beautiful girl, but
Albert gives ber only a cousinly af
fection. Though she is in ua way
dependent upon me pecuniarily, 1
promised her dying mother to give
ner a home at Gray Fell, as yoa
know ; and you can see, my love,
how very unpleasant is would make
it for you to brood over a foolish
jealousy. So, dear, put all that non- j
sense out of your charming bead and
rest assured that I am right. My
eyes are keen, and in the eighteen
months sho has been at Grey Fell
must inevitably , have penetrated a
secret of that kind."
"Of course, mamma is right," I
murmured as tbe door closed on her
imperial foraLajyj. J, .summoned Men
ton. ...
Bat, my maid dismissed, I sat down
ia my dressing gown and stared at
tbe glowing coals, my thoughts and
feelings in an anxious whirl. After a
time I rose, sighingly impatiently.
"I can't sleep; 1 will go down and
get a book."
With tho words I crept out into
tbe hall. I had traversed half its
length whea the sound of stealthy
steps on tbe stairs sent me with ba
ted breath behind the heavy damask
curtains of a window near me.
Burglars were in my mind, but I
mad6 no outcry. The next minute
the steps passed a few feet from me,
and 1 was quickly undeceived.
A voice 1 well knew murmured in
hushed tones, "Don't grieve, my
darling, it will all come right. Only
be patient, my own."
And I felt more than heard the soft
kiss that finished that sentence.
It was Peri's voice that answered.
"Oh, Albert! Albert!" she breath
ed, fdheringly. "Where is it all to
endr We nave done very, very
wrong, dearest. And ob, Albert, she
loves you! I saw it ia those great,
passionate, dusky eyes of ber's to
night, and in a vague terror of tbe
future I stared almost wildlv at her
as Aunt Ilay presented me."
"Nonsense ! Do yoa want to make
me vaio ?" laughed my step-brother
softly. And then be murmured in
graver accents : You say we have
doue wrong, darling. Remember we
had to choose between two evils. Re
member that my mother possesses an
iron will. She would have ground
us both to powder rather than con
seat to what we"
"Yes, yes, I know," sighed Peri,
before be could finish the sentence I
was panting to hear.
"Then cease to grieve, darling," he
whispered. "And now, once more,
good nizht."
And I knew lie folded her close to
bis heart for a brief moment.
As their doors closed noiselessly
upon their retiring forms I crept
weakly back to my chamber, pride,
anger and despair clutching at my
heart-strings. ' .
With a stifled cry I (long myself
passionately on tbe rug before the
fire and boned my face ia the tiger
skin covering a pile of soft, yielding
hassocks.
"Lost! lost t me !" I moaned in
my fierce agony. And then, starting
upright, 1 pasted with vengeful
breath. "Bat what meant that no
finished sentence? Can they"
And then 1 paused and stared
breathlessly at the glowing coals.
"Ah ! I will watch ! 1 will watch!"
I mattered later.
And I shivered a the sound of my
own low, relentless voice.
I did watch.
Night after night they Btole an
hour of blissfal peace ia the ante
room of tbe dim, old library, - and
nignt alter ni2bt I was ruthlessly on
their track. But so veia I listened
to their fond speech. Tbe unfinished
sentence I had caught in tbe hall
above remained unfinished. -
But one wild, bleak night, a month
later, my task was ended. With sti
fled breath I noiselessly crept from
tbe library to my step-mother's cham
ber. -
She sat ia her dressing gown be
fore the fire, lost in an enchanting
book. At my stealthy aad uncere
monious entrance she glanced op at
me. -
"Great Heavens!'' she cried, drop
ping her book and stving at me in
alarm. "Are yoo ill, Vi ?"
I laughed a harsh, short laagh.
"Only transformed into a Nemesis,
mamma,"
7,
"A Nemesis!" echoed my step
mother in a slow tone of profound
amazement, the next instant adding
impetuously, "Yoa look like a beau
tiful spirit from Hades I'
' I shrugged my shoulders with
another harsh laugh.
"Come !" I said imperiously.
"Come, I will show yoa my Hades !"
&be started at me wondenngiy,
and half shrunk as my icy little hand
clasped hers.
"Softly, Madame !" I whispered, as
we left tbe room.
Directly she was standing at the
slightly open door, at which I had so
often stood.
I felt her nails sink deep ia the
palm of my hand as her blazing eyes
rested on the scene beyond. I beard
her breath come ia angry gusts.
For a full minute she stood thus.
Then, dropping my hand, she flung
back the door and swept into the
dimly lighted room.
The pair sitting so lovingly before
the Ere started to their feet, Peri
with a sharp cry of anguish. Al
bert's first words were given to her:
"Be brave mv love!" he smiled
down upon ber in accents of melting
tenderness.
But hia lips were white and his
eyes glowing.
"V bat means all this?" demanded
Madame Viele, in awfully hushed
tones, gazing from one to the other
with an anger before which even my
fierce spirit quailed.
"It means this, my mother," repli
ed Albert, unfalteringly, as be paced
forward and circled more closely the
slender form of the pallid girl beside
mm. "it means that for tbree
mouths Peri has been my lovely wife.
"Wife!" gasped my stepmother,
staggering back as if she had receiv
ed a blow. And then she screamed.
pleadiugly : Not your wife, Albert?''
"Yes mother, my wife," he return
ed Badly and firmly, while geat
tears rolle 1 over Peri's white face.
"We grieved to do it secretly, moth
er, but"
My stepmother lifted her baud.
She bad quite recovered herself now.
"bileuce . she commanded in
those awfully hushed tones. "AEk
no forgivoess? Ask no blessing!
Pen, go I Lave this house now and
forever. Gj or stay, as you will;
but know that from this hour I nev
er speak to you again. From this
hour know your blessing my bitterest
curse!"
"Mother"
"Silence!" again commanded my
stepmother, in fearfnlly concentrated
tones. "Go ! Not a word ! Pet that
creature forth at once !" pointing her
white finger at Peri's bowed head.
"Say you forgive, mother," pleaded
Albert "Say"
"Silence!" almost thundered Mad
ame Viele, her face .ghastly as the
dead.
He turned away then.
"Come, my darling, we will go,"
he murmured with infinite tenderness
to Peri.
And catching up a cloak and hood
she had cast there only a few hoars
before, be wraped her tenderly in
them and led her to the door.
There they paused aod look back
at Madame Viele.
"Farewell, mother they said, soft
ly, "and Heaven forgive ns and
you!"
Madame gazed stonily at them
without word or gesture, and they
sigbed and turned away.
Directly the hall door clanged
heavily after them. As it did so my
stepmother turned calmly to me :
"I am Borry for you, Vi" she said
briefly, in stem, even tones. "Let
as go to bed."
And with a firm step and form
erect she led me to my room. There
she kissed me good night, saying
calmly as she closed tbe door :
"From this moment they are dead
to us. Never mention their names
again !"
"It i3 all over now. I had reaped
my vengeance."
"It ia well !" I said, as my head
touched tbe pillow.
The days came and went. My
stepmother was erect, cold and im
perious as ever. Not by word, look
or tone did she betray her secret But
tering. But at the end of a year she
bad lost every vestage of youth and
health. A pale, gaunt old woman,
she sat in ber chair now.
One morning she called me to ber
side. It was on my mneteentn birth
day.
V i, she said, curtly, "it s all Dead
Sea frait."
I gazed at her, dimly comprehend
ing ber meaning. Iben she said :
"They have a little daughter, i,
and they have named her after me
Ray Lalor, i. bball we have tbem
back, Vi?"
She looked at me wistfully.
There was a brief strife between the
good and tbe evil, and then I re
plied :
"It is Dead be a fruit, mamma
We will have them back. I can
look upon Albert as my brother
now."
"Thank Heaven!" exclained Mad
ame Viele.
And three days later Albert Peri
and the little Ray were established
at Gray Fell.
. The Bite f the Skaak.
In the Forest and Stream, of recent
date, is a contribution to the question
whether tbe bite of tbe skunk is pois
onous aod will produce rabies. Ia the
west and southwest of the Mississippi
Valley this seems generally believed.
A writer from Colorado quotes sev
eral instances.
Dr. Cashing, of Trinidad. Col , who
has, no doubt, seen several cases,
gives it as his opinion that the natural
bite of the skunk produces hydropho
bia, it does not need to be suffering
from rabies itself. He says its bite
will kill the victim sooner or later,
without fail. Dr. W. L. South, who
has had great experience in Texas
and New Mexico, says "the bite will
fetch the victim sometime," meaning
that it will sooner or later result in
death. . '
We do not believe this is the case'
in the Eastern States. The skunk is j
very common in rennsy tvama. v e
have seen dogs bitten by it, and have
known those who booted it constantly
for its valuable skin, bat have never
heard of any Bach ill result from its
bite either in man or dog.

(Which is in the state uv Kentucky,)
September 22, 1S19.
The next election is likely t) be egg
stremely eggscitin, and there 8 hood
be in tbe South a unity uv ackahen
and a uniformity uv means to be
yoosed, that our success may be as
sboored. We mus bev a Solid South
that the votes av the States now
groania under Federal despotism
may be throwed for a candidate
which will recognize the fact that tbe
South hez rites, and is ready to main
tain em.
In all jint discussions in the South
ern States these rools shood bs ob
served :
1. When a radikel shows a desii'e
to discuss, the ride sbood never be
yocsed. Tbe revolver is better, tor
there are six loads in a navy, and tbe
second may accomplish what the
Gran failed to do. But the shot-gun
is the proper weepin, for shot scat
ters, and no matter bow shaky a
sbivelry's hand may be, the totber
discusser Cia't get out uv range uv
a charge av shot
2. Never depea upon a single-barrelled
gun. It may taka two charges
to finish a obnoxious discusser.
3. AIluz yoose the old-fashioned
muzzle-loader. The cartridges that
yoo hev to yoose with the breech
loader are loaded with small shot,
which won't alluz do. And, besides,
the breech-loader is a Yankee weepia,
and no troo Southerner will yoose
anything uv Yankee make, ooless be
kin git it on credit
4. Load with a heavy charge uv
buck-shot, and alluz put in two or
tbree slugs, blugs iz more convinc
in than buck-shot, ez they trar a big
ger hole.
5. Alluz aim at, the button on the
back av the coat The charge then
penetrates the kidneys and liver, and
tbe disturber dies on tbe spot It ia
crooelty to prolong their suffering.
C. Be kecrful to observe the law.
The moment the disturber quits kick
in, go afore tbe nearest Justice uv
the Peace and deliver yoorself up.
He will immejitly admit yoo to bail,
and tbe infamous charge that the
Southern citizen is not law-abiding
will b disproved.
1. Free speech is the bulwark av
our civilizashea and everybody must
enjoy it, but ez disturbers can't be al
lowed, let it be understood that only
Diintkrats kin enjoy that privilege.
Meetins nv Radikels bein inceojary,

- 8. A speaker ehood never be shot

found tbat after a few av em bev bia

9. Nigger meeting-bouscs and
Suuday-skools cannot be permitted
ez tbey are tbe hot-beds av radikel
ism. One Methodist preacher will
offset the good work u a dozen gro
series. 10. Postmasters sbood see to it
that no Radikel papers are permitted
to be cirkelatid. Noosepapers is a
ooosance, and ef the Radibtls are
preventid from takin em, they will
be entirely suppressed in our eeck

There are other things that mite

The small boy now looketh opoa
the circus poster when itiared, white
and blue, and becometh intoxicated
with delight.
For what is it that carrieth more
joy to tbe heart of tbe small boy than
a dead wall covered with pesters ?
Echo might answer, a dead head
ticket covered with tbe legend, "Ad
mit Cue."
Aod as the boy gezsth cn the pict
ures of indescribable animals, and up
on the impossible antics of lightly
clothed mea and women, his imagi
nation maketh all the p:c;ures reali
ties, and he is willing to stake his
reputation as a champion marble play
er tnat tne coming circus is tbe best
in the world.
And be loagetb to go.
Soon he is j iued by tbe other boys
of his sge, and tbey alt gaze upon the
posters and drink of the beauties
thereof.
And tbey marvel among them
selves. And the boy sayeth be has never
seen bo wonderful a display of circus
p (tares; and tbey soon fall t sp?c
ulating among themselves as to
whether each performer really doeth
all things which he is represented as
doing.
And another one sayeth he Las
seen aa wonderful performances as
are pictured out on tbe posters.
But his companions laugh biin to
scorn. .
So it cometh to pass that the boy
who hath seen all these things is forc
ed to hold his peace (providing he
has not already devoured it), for ver
ily the majority raleth among the
boys.
Soon the all-important question
cometh op regarding the prospect for
crawling under the canvas, and tbey
wax enthusiastic, and ia their minds
they are ail in the circus on the front
seat, each one having found a good
place to crawl under.
Bat soon one of their number re
collected the fact that he was ence
caught in the act, and as he dilates
on the strength of eaavassmee in
general, and.tfae one who collared him
in particular, tbe courage of tbe
group oczes oat of their individual
iioger eads.
And each oue layed out a route in
his neighborhood, aad woe onto the
piece of old iron which his fingers
clutcheth, for verily . ia the end it con
tributed to the circus fand.
Any man who has btea a smal
boy kooweth these things to true.

One ot the most carious things
about rain is in the equality of its
distribution. Tbe reader is of course
aware that rain may be measured ia
iocbes in almost any vessel set oat to
catch it If a pail, for example, t pat
oat in an open space on the ground.
It we visit tbe pail after every show
er, we may by the means cf a two-
foot rale, tell what depth of rain has
fallen. This is the principle of the
rain guage. In practice better means
are ot course adopted, so as to pre
vent evaporation aaoL to measure the
depth. Now it is of great conse
quence where we place oar rain
guage. It might be supposed of no
importance wnetber it were on tbe
top of tbe bouse or in the garden
close by. Aod yet, strange to say,
a guage in tbe jrardon ot Westminis
ter Abbey caught twenty tlree iocbes
of rain in the course of a year, while
one on the roof of a boose caught on
ly eighteen inches, and one on top of
the abbey, only twelve inches. The
fact is, rain forms at a very low ele
vation, it increases the size of the
drops which come from tbe higher
levels. Thus, while Mr. Glaisher
was descending in a balloon, he pass
ed through a wet fog, where the
drops of rain were exceedingly fine,
covering tbe note book liks pin points.
These increased in size on approach
ing the earth and more rapidly when
very near the earth.
The latest story of the American
Spiritualist is as follows:
A skeptical fel'.ow obtained admis

at Daniel Webster habitually materi
alized walking from a cabinet across
the room and looking as he bad look
ed in life, but makiag no souiid of
footsteps. This bate-minded man
tossed a number of tacks on tbe floor;
and as they had very large heads,
tbey, of coarse, fell points upward
The consequence was that when Dsn
came out of tbe cabinet and began to
walk across the room he suddenly
paused, aod lifting one foot, applied
bis baud to the sole thereof. Upon
taking another step he saddenly drew
up again, and in a low voice ejacula
ted, "Ugh !" Shortly after tbis he
lost his balance and sat down on the
floor ; immediately he became very
profane, wiggled painfully in his seat.
jumped op with an exclamation not
found in the dictionary, and retreated
into the cabinet greatly disgusted
with the matter. Not so the skeptic,
who remarked thst it was a proof of
the truthfulness of the line that
"Fools rash in where angels fear to
tread."
