As he passed down the staircase, he encountered the baroness' pretty French chambermaid, Lipeite. "Lisdte, you are looking charm ins to-day do you know it?" ''My mirror told me bo this morn inpr," said the eoubrette, looking up boldly into his face. "What lips! what eyes! and what a fijrure said the poldier. "But do yon know, I think you would look infinitely prettier in a lavender colored filk rolie, with cherry colored ribbons?" "Very poppible, monsieur," an swered the waiting maid ; but that will cost money and how is a poor girl like me to dress like a lady?" "I have thought of that difficul ty," said Ernest, "and ho I have pro vided a remedy. Will you allow me to present yon with a slight token of mv gratitude and admira tion?" As he spoke he drew forth a little not silk purse, through the inter stices of which some gold pieces showed their pleasant, brilliant countenances. Lisette's eyes reflect ed their brightness. "Monsieur is altogether too gen erous," she said. Ret the little white fingers clasp ed the eliUering offering, and con veyed, it to one of her pockets of the coquettish silk apron that she wore. "Now, tell me, Lisette, is your mistress coing to the masked ball at the palace to-morrow night?" "Ah, but that is a great secret, monsieur, which I promised ma dame not to reveal," replied the Parisicrine. archly, laying her fin ficrs on her lips. "She is going, then ?" said Ern est "Monsieur says so," answered the soubrctte, smiling. "And what else did your mistress charge you to keep secret?"' asked the oflicer, smiling in his turn. "That she was going to wear a rose-colored domino, with a bunch of sky-blue ribbons on the right shoulder," replied the waiting-maid, .hurriedly, and she ran tip stairs, as if to avoid further catechizing, fully satisfied that her indiscretion had been an ample offset to the aide-de-camp's present. "Very good. Madame Anna," said the young officer to himself. "I have reconnoitered the ground, and I shall know where to open my trenchs. All's fair in love and war. And now to my friend the sculptor's if his ingenuity aid me, my success will be certain." On the night of the masked ball the royal palace of. Munich was a blaze of liffht. Every window glow ed as if the interior was a mass of fire, and the brilliant rays, stream ing fbitU upon the night, fell on the I glittering helmets, breast-plates and ! sabers of the mounted enraissiers, or were reflected from the bayonets of a detachment of the infantry of the line drawn np as a guard of honor in the square withouL Chamberlains stood at the en trance of the palace, and files of lackeys, with wax tapers flaring in the evening; air. shed . almost the light of day on the grand staircase. Carriage after carriaee rolled up in succession, with their livine freights of beantv and youth, and as light feet fell like snow-flakrs on the car peted marble, as Graceful forms van- iclxul within iVio rwort'ila tha snira rtf bystanders were lulled by the picas- omer ant rustling of silks, while the breeze was perfumed by a thousand deh cate odors. Hut if such were the eternal man. ifestation of the fete, how far more brilliant was the interior of the pal ace of pleasure. How those lofty halls clowcd with the dazzling efful gence of thousands of wax tapers How softly beautiful were the mar ble statues that graced the niches, lined the corridors and looked down from their pedestals on the grand ballroom! How Oriental in their magnificence were the gorgeous draperies of velvet and satin, with fringes of gold bullion ! but, above all, what music streamed on the en chanted air from an orchestra com posed of a hundred of the best in strumentalists in the city ! And the life, the animation of the throngs that filled the brilliant saloon who shall describe it? Ernest von Steinberg, who looked but for one person in that brilliant multitude, was so masked and muf- tied that his disguise was impenetra' ble. Therefore, when he found the rose colored domino at last, he hesi tated not to address her. "Good evening, fair mask." "Good evening, gallant cavalier. But how know you that I am fair ?" Were 1 to pronounce you the fairest in Munich, none would uis pute your title." "Do you know me?" "The belle of Munich hides her face in face in vain," answered Ern est. "That inimitable hand and foot are her betrayers." "You may be mistaken, aiter all." "I cannot be, and claim the hand," said Ernest, "and will find employment for that dainty foot The music sounds ; lets away to the dance. "I lelieve my hand is promised alread)', answered the lair one, so take it quickly, before some one disputes the prize with you." The next minute they were whirl ins round the vast saloon to music that raieht keen dancers on their feet for a life. Anna leaned unon the shoulder of her partner, anti he breathed in her ear words that she could not listen to without a thrill of pleasure. At the conclusion of the dance Ernest led her into a side room, in which they found themselves quite alone. "You persist, then," said the lady, "in calling me the Barroness von Graffenberg?'' If I had doubted before, your dancing would b.'ve convinced me. The leader of the sylphides is known by her step." "Well, you have guessed right And now in return for your confi dence, may 1 request you to raise your mask?" "I can refuse you nothing," said Ernest von Steinberg. He raised his mask as he spoke and disclosed to the astonished gaze of the baronness the well-known features of King Louis of Bavaria. "But I thought you assurred us that the cavalier was Captain Ern est von Steinberg!" exclaims the reader. Let us explain. To give addi tional zest and pleasure, and com plicate the mysteries of masquerade, the courtiers of Louis XIV, of France, had invented the following expedient: They procured fine wax likenesses of their friends, of emi nent persons, and wore them under ther masks. When requested to de clare their identity, they would raise the outer mask, and the inner wax one, seen for a moment, in most cases completely deceived the spectator. It is easy to imagine what an indefinite field for mystification this contrivance afforded. Captain Ernest had a friend, a sculptor, who had modeled a bust of the king, and from him he had procured a wax mask, beautifully colored, and no well executed as to deceive the eyes of the baroness for the moment they rested on it Ernest, satisfied with his success, re placed his black, velvet visor, and continued the interview. "Yes, baroness." whispered the distinguished aide-de-camp, "It is Louis who stands before you not as your king, but as your subject, vour slave the thrall of your beau "ty." "Ah, sire.-' replied the belle of Munich, "yon are sporting with the sensibilities of a weak woman." t!No, by heaven !" replied the false king. "I am incapable of that. Behold me at your feet, and hear me swear eternal allegiance to your charms." "Rise, sire, rise !" said the baro ness, very much irritated- "We may be seen or overheard." "Long have I thought," continued the false king, "that b aoty such as yours should grace a throne." "A throne !" echoed the baroness. 'But von are are right," he con tinued, hurriedly : "this is no time or place for confidence like ours. Hark, the clock is striking twelve. Will you trust to my honor, and meet me to-moarow night ?" Where, sire ?" "In the Chinese pavillion in the irarden of the palace. The wicket of the postern gate that leads to the door of the pavillion shall be left open fr you." The baroness gate him her hand. ' To-morrow night at twelve !'aid she, and glided from the room. "Oh, woman ! woman 1 woman 1" said Ernest, when alone "false ea fair ! Is it for this we rank you with the angels ? But tremble, faithful one your punishment shall be as bitter as the agony I suffer." And he followed the baronrs in to the dancing saloon. He had no sooner left the room then a masked figure stole forth from beneath a mass of crimson drapery. . "The Chinese pavilion to-morrow night at twelve !" said the Btranger. "Bravo ! bravo ! Captain von Stein berg !" And he, too, vanished. A few minutes before 12 o'clock on the following night, Captain von Steinberg, wearing his wax mask, unlocked and entered the Chinese pavilion in the royal garden. The inside shutters of the windows were closed, so that he ventured to pro duce a match to light a wax taper, taking care to place a shade over it, Set ESTABLISHED, 1327. SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY, so that the room should be dimly lighted. Alter compietinc the ar rangements, he glanced round, and started on seeing tne ugure of a man near the table. The stranger was dressed in the uniform of an aide-de-camp, and wore a mask upon his :ace. "Who are you?" demanded Er nest advancing to the intruder. "You have anticipated a similar question." replied- the mask. "But I have a right to know," said trnest. "So have I," was the quiet ' an swer. "Sir," said Ernest, placing his hand on the hiltpf his saber, ! wear a Bworo. "So do I," replied the mask : "but I reserve it for the enemies of my country." ho are vou ! I implore you to tell me." said fcrnest- "Ah, now you speak in a different manner, l, sir, am uwtam von Steinberg, at vour service, aide-de camp to his majesty King Louis of liavaria.' ' "The deuce you are !" thought Ernest. "But, confidence for confidence." said the impositor. "Now, you must tell me who you are, and by what right I find you in the royal pavilion at this hour.. Jsy the very best 1 risht id the world," replied Ernest, boldly. "I, sir, am King jouis oi Havana, ' and he lifted his outward mask, displaying the features of the king. 1'ardon me, sire, said the stran ger, tailing on his knees ; "but, mak ing my rounds in tne garden, 1 found the postern gate unlocked, and fearing treachery to your royal per- . deemed it my duty to keep watch in the pavilion, of which, as your majesty is aware, I have a du plicate key." "Zounds, man ! yoa haven t lock ed the postern, have vou ?" asked the pretended king." ISo, 6ire : it remains as I found it" ! "Then, my good fellow, there is no harm done," said Ernest. "And I II tell you a secret : I expect a la dy here every instant, who has ac corded me a private interview. The best service you can render me is to leave me to myself." A hint from vour royal lips is a command." said the intended Er nest "That j'ou majesty's suit may prosper is the warmest wish of your most devoted BUbject. I he stranger vanished. Before Ernest had an opportunity to frame any hypothesis with re gard to this mysterious being the door opened cautiously and admit ted the baroness. She threw herself at once at the feet of Ernest Rise, lady!" said the pretended monarch. "I would rather be at your feet rise." .Not" said the baroness, - "till your majesty pledges me in advance ior wnaiever i may coniess. 1 Ireely pledge vou that, said Ernest, aiding the ladv to rise. "Know then " said the baroness, "that I am an ungrateful woman. Your majesty distinguished me ast night and held out hopes so brilliant that a subject might well be dazzled by your promise. I was dazzled, and I heard you with pleas ure. But it was only a momentary weakness. In the delirium of the dance you told me that you loved me my consent to meet yon here seemed a confession of reciprocal affection ; but, in truth, my heart is given to another. I love I love with all the fervor of my being not a, monarch, but a sub ject" " A rival " said the pretended king sternly : "his name ?" "Promise that you will not harm him, sire." "I mark no promise in any such case as this." "Then I shall keep my secret," said the baroness, firmly. "And you will love this man even if I command you to tear his image from your heart?" "I love him and him only," re plied the baroness. "In good re port and evil report in sorrow and in sickness in shame and honor. Truly I pledged him my hand my heart went with it I am his for ever." "And he is thine, dear Anna !" said Ernest, tearing off his disguise. "Will you forgive me the trial I have subjected you to ?" "Will you forgive me the weakness of a moment that made me listen to temptation ?" "Freely and fully," said Ernest, folding the baroness in his arms. "And now, when shall we be mar ried ?" "To-night !" said a voice beside them. And there stood the King of Bavaria, but still in the form of an aide-de-camp in which he had en tered the pavillion that evening and first encountered Ernest He it was who had overheard the appoint ment at the masquerade. "To night," he replied, smiling on his astonished auditors. "The chapel is lighted up the priests are in wait ing the wedding guests are there, and the wedding feast prepared. Louis of Bavaria awaits to conduct you to the altar, and to give away the bride And may the pleasures of thier carnival be but the precur sors of a life of joy !" The delight of the lovers the joy of Lisette the surprise and pleas ure of all their family, must be left to their imagination.

TAYLsOLTS 8ERMO.V "Mark the perfect man, and be hold the upright, for the end of that man is peace," Psalms xxxvii : 37. Dear Friends : We meet this sad day to pay our last tribute of respect to the memory of our beloved Presi dent, who has passed from the scenes of this earth away. Fifty millions of people join in these sol emn services over our broad land to-day and far awav on forcitm shores multitudes unite in expres sions of deepest sympathy for us in mis our greatest bereavement e mourn the loss of the grandest man of the ages of the highest product of our Christian civilization. And what is so sad is that this grand life in its very prime should be torn from us by the bullet of the assassin. We exclaim with the nfllieted wife. of our fallen chieftain, "why must we sutler this cruel wronz?" In our finite capacity it throws a shad ow over the ways of Providence, anil we ask how justice and ludcment be the habitation of His throne ? Why was not the arm of the assassin par alyzed? Why was not the bullet' stopped in its mission of death?; "But the Lord reigneth," neverthe-' less, and, though "clouds and dark ness are around and about Him, still justice and judgment are the habitation of His throne." In this majestic universe, where law reicms over all, from the atom to the globe, lrom the infusoria to the archangel. and all things move forward in ac cordance with this uniform force in a universe where the human will plays its parts in the events of life where evil exists so abundantly and triumphs over the eood so often, the soul sometimes sinks under the ter ror of the dreadful thought that there may be no .Divine Providence oyer the affairs of men. But our vision is too limited, our field of ob servation too narrow to pronounce upon the ways of Providence, or solve the mysteries of the universe. Ut this vast subject, how little is known. He who has built the uni verse and created the intelligences that people it ; who guides the ple iades in their course and watches over the falling sparrow, surely for gets not him whom He has made in His divine image. This is the true thought, "God moves in a mysterious way. His wondeis to perform ; He plants bis footsteps on the sea, And rides upon the storm." We must remember that the pow er and influence of a great life does not depend upon its duration. One single act may stamp itself on all coming ages ; one short life may generate a force that will perpetuate itself in noble deeds through all time , yes, in good results, extend ing through all eternity. How short was the life of Jesus of .Nazareth, how tragical His death; and yet, from that life and that death a force has been developed that, in its mighty results, is increasing rapidly as the age3 move onward. What, then, has given our beloved dead his great power over the people. Evidently into that problem his suf ferings enter largely. For eighty days a nation has stood by his bed side watching intently the ebb and now of life. Un from the hearts of millions ascended the prayer daily and hourly, "If it be possible let this cup pass from us, yet not our will but Thine be done." "This is a noble people to die for," he said. As he passed through those long weary days of suffering, he drew all hearts to himself, and cemented by his death our nation into peace and tiarmony, and, bampson-Iike, achiev ing more in his last awful struggle than in all his previous life. Ihe history of this grand man. seems brief. He was born on the 19th day of November, 1831 ; was eft an orphan by the death of his father when 2 years old ; was reared amid poverty and hardships by his widowed mother ; by great diligence he became a fine scholar ; was presi dent of a college, general in the army, congressman, senator, and finally president of the United States. He ascended from the canal boat to the White house to the highest place of honor on this earth. t is grander to be president of these United States than to be czar of all the Russias. For it is the gift of a place of honor, of a free and noble people. Ut his character we may speak : In a magnificent physical constitu tion resided a massive mind, pos sessing a breadth of culture and a force of intellect that placed him at once in the front rank of American statesmen. He was a man of great industry. The indomitable energy displayed in early life in gaining a livelihood, and, amid poverty, se curing a splendid education, did not forsake him in the halls of Congress. "He is the most laborious mac in the House," said ex-Congressman Havens to your speaker once. He was also a man of pure morals of most virtuous habits. He could, therefore, endure great labor. Again he was true to principle, unswervingly devoted to his convic tions of truth and duty. He said in a speech at Columbus, Ohio : "There is one with whom I always endeav or to be on good terms ; one who is always present with me, with whom I must always eat and sleep ana live; that is with myself." That was his own conscience. Like Paul he could say, "I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day." His life proved this. When preaching in Washington city I never on Lord's day missed him from the house of worship. During the sitting of the great Re publican Convention at Chicago he was the only delegate known to have spent both Sundays away from the centres of intense political ex citement in the house of God. On the last Lord's day he spent at his quiet home at Mentor his voice could be beard above all other sing ing the grand old hymn, "All hall the power of Jesns' name. Let angels prostrate fall, Bring forth the royal diadem. Awl crown Him Lord of all." He was a Christian in the highest acceptation oi the term; a man whose Christ-Ike heart embraced in its broad sympathies all men with out exception. He was gentle and erald. kind and in his presence the hum blest felt at case. He was a full rounded man, pr.fect physically, intellectually, morally and spiritu ally the mo6t completely rounded out and perfect man that has ever filled the Presidential chair. What are the lessons that the eventful life teaches us? First That Christian principles and a political life are not incom patible ; that a man may be pure and upright amid all the strifV s and conflicts of a long political career. He may be a true man an earnest Christian actuated by a sublime faith in God, Christ and in humani ty while filling post3 of honor, and participating in the political contests of our country. Second That the American peo ple love that which is pure, noble and good. James A. Garfield reigns as no American statesman has ever done over the hearts of all men, be- a wt1a 1 1 cause he embodied in niniseu ana in his actual life the loftiest princi- files that actuate the human 'heart t no man think that he must be come dissipated in morals or cor rupt in principles in order to carry the hearts of our people. A new era is dawning on us when virtue and true merit must fill onr places of honor. Third This life shows, moreover, the splendid opportunities that our free institutions afford the young of our country. From the canal boat to the White House telb the story of the grand possibilities that lie before the energetic, the noble and the true. Again, his life shows the grandeur and power of the gospel of Christ It was Christ living in him that per fected his character and made his life so grand and good. He wa3 an affectionate son. At the inaugural when he had closed his address, he turned and planted on his mother's cheek the kiss of affection. He was a faithful husband, a devoted father, a true friend and a grand patriot and philanthropist. And all these relations in him were ennobled and sanctified by the gospel of Christ Again, this gospel gave consolation to our beloved President in all his trials and afllictions. How patient ly he bore his Euffering3 through the long weary months he lay in his bed, through days and nights of in tense heat Xo wonder he would say at last, "I feel so tired," his poor emaciated frame wa3 worn out, ex hausted; and yet under all these sufferings he murmured not. Still his tired lody wanted rest, and to day it is laid away to sleep. But lastly, the infinite value of the gospel "is seen in the blissful hope with which it inspired his soul. On its rich promises our sainted President leaned, and by them, the portal? of eternal glory were opened to his vision and at last he heard the call, and responded and is rest ing, to-day, in the light and glory of that celestial abode. Slmll we look again on that noble brow? Shall we press again that warm hand ? Y"es, if man is more than mere matter if he has a spirit that thinks and reasons and loves if Christ rose from the dead we shall see him. Amid the glories of that heavenly world we shall meet the loved that have passed over if actu ated by the grand principles that fashions the noble life of him whose loss we mourn to-day. Sir. Mt-Yragh and President Arthur. Washington. Septemder 27- At torney General MacVragh stated this evening, when approached on the subject of the Cabinet that he had no objection to speaking frank ly as to his own osition. He said he recognized to the fullest extent the propriety of President Arthur selecting as his canfidential advi sers gentlemen who had heretofore sustained relations not only of per sonal good will, but also of politic al sympathy with. him. Indeed he did not think any Administration could be strong if there was "any ground for suspicion or disgust among its members. As soon,' there fore, as President Arthur had taken the oath of oflice Mr. MacVeagh said he tendered his resignation in writing. . He had also assured the President that the resignation was not a form, but fact, and that he hoped it would be convenient to designate his successor by the time the Senate met in special sesion. Mr. MacVeagh added that on pub lic grounds he felt no difficulty in pursuing the course hia feelings dic tated. The only political work to which he attached any importance at this time was the work of admin istrative reform, including of course, the exposure and the relentless pursuit of all plunderers of the pub lic treasury. If President Arthur engages heartily and thoroughly in that good work, as ho hoped and believed he would, then he was en titled, to the credit of doing it with an Attorney General of his own se lection and not with one inherited from lresident Garfield. The Attorney General spoke very kindly of President Arthur and said he was sure the country would judge him not only fairly but gen erously, and not by the selection ot one person or another tor his Labi- net but by the general policy ot his administration. Stephens am! the Negro. There are people who become honest only when there is nothing more to steal. That kind of forced virtue has too many examples. Mr. Stephens has many 'stories to tell of negroes, and one is a famous cotton and chicken depredator, who since the war met the ex-Vice Presi dent in the road. "Well,.Thomas," was the kindly salutation, "I was sorry to hear yon had been in trouble about Mrs. Tripp's chickens." " i es. Mara Alec : but I clone ouit j 7 A ; all dat now," said the negro very I penitently. j "How many did you take before ! you stopped x asked Mr. Stephens. "1 tuk all she had," was the per fectly innocent reply. Never be without a bottle of that pure, mild, compound Peruna ; take it witn tne nrsv syrapwui. WHOLE NO. 1579. How Arthnr wis Nominaictl for Vice President. The Philadelphia Vc of Monday last contains the following account of the circumstances attending the nomination of General Arthur for Vice President, which is of special interest just now : After that tumultuous and thrill ing scene when the Chicago Conven tion surged away from both Grant and Blaine and named General Gar field as its standard bearer, it ad journed till evening to consider the question of Vice President All sides agreed that the candidate must come from New York and that as the President represented the anti Grant division, the Vice President must le chosen from the Grant ele ment. Three conspicuous names were canvassed Ievi P. Morton, now Minister to France, General Stewart L. Woodford and General Chester A. Arthur. When the New York delegation met to pass upon the subject Mr. Morton and General Woodford withdrew and General Arthur was selected as its choice by a very decided vote. But just then those who were in the inner circle discovered that a serious obstacle had been encountered, and that was the very earnest and emphatic ob jection of the proposed candidate himself. General Arthur was not free from honorable ambition, but there wa3 a special and potent reason why he did not want the nomination for Vice President lie was then ex pecting a different and more desira ble public position. Only eight months later the Legislature of New York was to elect a United States Senator as the successor of Francis Kernan, and it had already been agreed that General Arthur should be advanced to that place. All the representative leaders of the controll ing force in the party Senator Conkling, Governor Cornell, Mr. Piatt, Mr. Crowley had fully con curred in his selection. It was rea sonably certain that, however, the Presidential election might result, the Republicans would carry the Legislature of New Y'ork. Jeneral Arthur's election as Senator was thus as morally sure as any event in the future could be, and that was the position of all others that he de sired. On the other hand, the Issue of the Presidential election was doubtful, and even if sn eccssful the Vice President would h- e only the prospect of dignified retirement for a period of four years. General Ar thur was thus asked to surrei ler a certain election to a plac whi- i he prized above all others fo u dubious contest for an oflice which he didn't want at all. Under such circumstances it ia not surprising that he shrank from the proposed nomination, and for nearly two hours resisted .the ap peals which were made to hi in. But there was a very earnest desire on the part of the friends of General Garfield rather than his own, that he should go upon the ticket They felt the vital importance of carrying New Y'ork, and realized that no man could contribute so much to that result as General Arthur with his thorough knowledge of the organi zation. Governor Dennison, of Ohio, among others wa3 very earnest in his pie;.'. The duty of accepting was put to General Arthur as a matter of patriotic obligation; and finally, against the protest of Sena tor Conkling even to the last, he re luctantly yielded his own wishes and allowed the completion of the ticket of Garfield and Arthur. The fader' Way. Elder Traverse, who died lately in Buffalo, old and bent and full of years, was once the most noted man in eastern New York a3 a camp meeting leader. He had a power ful voice and was a fluent speak er, and in the prime of life could get away with any man who ever sought to disturb his meetings. The elder was once holding a camp meet at Y'onkers, and word reached him that a notorious rough, known as "Chicago Bob," intended to be on hand on Sunday for a row. He made no reply and took no precau tions, but when Bob appeared on the grounds with a cigar in his mouth and a slingshot in his sleeve the elder didn't grow pale worth a cent Bob had ccme nut there to run things, and he took a front seat. When the crowd began to sing he began crowing, ami thus created confusion. "Robert, you had better sit down," observed the elder quietly, as he came forward. ''Chicago Bob sits down for no man !"was the reply. "Sit down Robert," continued the elder, as he put his liand on the loafer's arm. "Here goes to clean out this crowd T said Bob as he pulled off his coat Next instant the elder hit him un der the ear, and as he fell over a bench he was followed up and hit again and again, and v, hue in a semi unconscious state he was carried off by his friends. Next dav he was the first to come forward for prayers. The elder put his hand on his head and said ; "Robert, are you in earnest" "I am." "Are you seeking for faith ?'' "You bet I am ! If faith helps a man to get in his work as quick as Jou did yesterday, I am bound to ave it if I haye to sell my hat !" He didn't get it very strong, but he did do more crowing while the campmeeting lasted. Roaittfd to Death. New Orleans, September 16. The Detiuxrat't Little Rock despatch says: "Jane Campbell, a coioreu woman living near Lykes ami, killed twoof herchildreniged 10 and t; bv beatinr out their brains with a pineTknot, for some trivial act of disobedience. Alter the inquest, when the cause of death became generally known, a mob of whites and blacks dragged Mrs. Campbell from her cabin, tied her to a stake, and despite her screams literally roasted her alive. It is estimated that there 000,000 jews in the world. are llt-pin a WorVer. Like Theodore Parkrr, Chapin undoubtedly felt his vitality to he so immense mat ii count no, w overtaxed. Parker came of a long lived race, buthedied of overwork at fifty. Chapin seemed roado ior in finite endurance, but he was shaken at sixty, and died at sixty-six. Some yean ago, in the height of hii pros perous lecturing career, the Easy Chair mot him at the Albany nil road station in the early evening of a winter day. 1 le was snatching "a bite" and a cup of coffee, and as the bell rang, they hurried to the train, Chapin carrying a lumbering bag and shawls, and laughing and jok ing as they mwled into the car. He had been out all the week, etart ing early on Monday morning, after preaching twice on Sunday- He had lectured every evening during the week, traveling hard all day. 'Up before light," he said, gayly, "eating tons of tough steaks and bushels of cold apples, whizzing on in those stifling cars, and turning out just in time to swallow a cup of tea and off to the lecture." It was trcmedous work, as only the fully initiated know. But he made it all a joke, and his swift tongue flew hu morously on from incident to inci dent, ana presently began to discuss the new books and new articles in the magazines, with sharp and just discrimination. Suddenly the train stopped, evidently not at a station. The night was cold and stormy. Presently the conductor passed, and Chapin asked to know the reason of the delay. The conductor replied that there was some derangement of the locomotive ; and Chapin said, quietly, "This is bad business for a man who has to preach at eleven o'clock to-morrow moming, and whose sermon is not begun." Hi3 companion remonstrated ; but Cha pin's eyes twinkled as he answered : "Burns sang the cottiers Saturday night, but the minister's Saturday night is yet unwritten. At least," he said, laughing, "thi3 one is likely to be unwritten." It was past mid night when the train reached the city. "Good-night," cried the hearty voice. "Go home and go to led ; I'm going to work." The next time the Easy Chair met the preacher, it asked about that sermon. "Oh, that was all right I went home, and there was a bright fire in my study, and a brew of hot coffee, and I fin ished that sermon ju3t as the sun rose." And the next morning he was probably off again for another week of the same kind. It was at the same Albany station that, cross ing in the bleak winter night over the river, Theodore Parker was fa tally chilled. He and Chapin were both stalwart men, with such ample and overflowing strength that it seemed to them to be exhau.tless. But they worhed bravely while it was yet day, and their works do fol low them. Harper's Magazine. A Speculator's Deserted Mansion. All residents of Nevada, will re call what a famous resort Bower s Mansion used to be in the flush times some fifteen years ago. bandy liowers made some iucy tnrns in Crown Point and Belcher, and almost before he knew it was worth a cool million, and some say more. He believed that money was made to use, and so purchased some proprty near Washoe lake and built his mansion. It was by far the most pretentious dwelling that had ever been thought of in Neva da ; and when people saw the broad and solid masonry going up, they wondered if it would not bankrupt its builder. After the house was finished Mr. Bowers went to Europe for upholstrv and furniture. The house cost about $100,000 to build and the furniture cost about as much more. A few Sundays ago an Appeal re porter visited the place. The gate was tied up, and the unbroken road showed that no carriages had driven thrnno-h it for manv a dav. A stroll over the grounds showed that they were really deserted in everytning except the birds and jack rabbits. The dancing hall was empty, and the old bath house supplied with water from the hot springs had been turned into a sort of hostlerie for the wayfaring tramps, who, at the approach of footsteps, crawled out and betook themselves to the hills. The trees, no longer pruned or car ed for, had begun to assume the form and look of the natural pro duction. The fountain, which in better days had sent its jeta of silver high in air, and showered its spray upon the grass when the wind was high, had evidently not been in a state of ac tivity for years. The upper basin was as dry as a limekiln, and the lower one was in but little better condition. A black snake lay coiled on the edge of the masonry. Unabashed by human presence, he continued basking in the sun, and wore the air of a party who knew his rights. Lizards darted in and out of the crevices of the stones, ami mottled toads, with bellies of aldermanie patterns sweated and sweltered in the grass, the growth of which no lawn-mower had ever touched. Bowers had built a fish pond, and not forgetting that scenery was something, placed an island in the the centre. This was covered with a delightful growth of willows, which swept the water with truly picturesque effect The fish, snakes and turtles held possession of this spot, and seemed oblivious of intru sion.
