Morning Journal.
r Harriet Golder is a charming, viva
cious little English girl. Her a ge is just
seventeen. She was Imn in the village
ot Whitney, England, and lived there
until she was about fifteen .years of age.
Then her parents secured her a position
in the dressmaking establishment con
ducted by Mrs. Robinson, in the village
of Frodingliam abort fifteen miles from
Whitney.
Once a week the young girl would pay
a visit to her parents in Whitney. She
generally talked the tflstance, as no
conveyance was handy. It was during
one of these journeys that she became
acquainted with William Gerdely, a
handsome young farmer,, who lived in
the village of Holton, about midway be
tween Whitney and Frodingham. He
generally accompanied her on her jour
neys, and as be became better acquainted
with her he fell in love with her. Ap
parently she liked him. Six monthsago
Harriet's parents both died within a
week. After the burial of her parenta
Mrs. Robinson offered her a permanent
.4ome with her. This kind offer she ac
cepted. The only dIrwback to her som
plete happiness was the fact that she
could po more meet Gerdely, whom she
had crie . to care a great deal for.
Finally he pebed entirely from her
mnind. She would have lived in her new
position, lt foor t)B tte$np of Will
liam R6binson, the son of the lady whom
she was working for. He said he loved
her and wanted to die for her. .Je ap
peared to fbel deeply hurt because she
would not give him a chance to die for
her. iis mother took sides with him
and between them both the poor irl
finallyconenuted to marry young R
son. The puptials were celebt1ed at the
home of the groom two months ago -

way she met young Gedely. It was a
year since they parted. .Whe she told
him of her marriage she turhed pale.
Then he fell on his knees and implored
her to fl with him. A sudden impulse
caused the girl to acsecede to his request.
They went to Liverpool. They were
just in time to secure pamage on the
steamship Britannic.
By means of detectives her husband
learned that she had led to New York.
He at once tel e to &iperltend
ent Jackson, of Castle Garden, asking
him to detain the girl on her aurmvatsa

antie arrived her on Sunday Detective
Groden was on the pier. HA saw the
pair and recognised them at once. He
arrested the girl and brought her to the
Garden. ,r

for.her on the stemeship Wyoming, and
she started back yeterday.
Gerdely, with whom she eloped, has
been a constant visitor at the qarden.
He did not know of the chang which
bad taken tlaee in the girl. He will
bably be very much surprised when
learns that the Y.o Wirt has gone
beek, as he still believe she is detained
abthe Garden.

East and married a widow, who had one
widowed and three old-maid daughters,
and brought them all out here. Then
the old man entered a claim, and the
daughters, four of them, all entered
claims alongside. So there you have it.
The old man practically owns 800 acres
of good land. He built the girls shanties
on their claims, and they live in them
enough to satisfy the law, but the whole
thing is done under the superintendence
of the old man, who is an old reprobate

and he replied:
" 'Oh, no; I can't say she is. I would

gone: but business is business, and the
only way I could get the whole family
was to take the mother first.' "--Chicag:

Here is a singular instance of the work
ing of that subtle, fine sixth sense, which
is apt to affect women more than men,
and which is so mysterious in character
that we often incline to deny its exist
ence at all. A lady sat sewing quietly-in
her sitting room, anti in an inner cham
ber the nurse had just put the baby to
sleep and laid her in her besinette. As
the nurse came out of the chamber she
said to her mistress:
"The little thing is asleep for three
hours, ma'm, I'll warrant."
The nurse went down stairs, and for
about a minute the mother sewed on.
Suddenly a desire seized her to go and
take the sleeping child from its crib.
"What nonsense!" she said p. herself.
"Baby is sound asleep. Nurse just put
her down, I shall not go."
Instantly, however, some power stron
ger even than the last, urged the mother
to go to her baby; and after a moment,
she rose, half vexed with herself, and
went to her chamber. The baby was
asleep in her little bed, safely tucked in
with soft white and pink blankets. One
small hand was thrown above the little
brown head. It was half open, the ex
quisite fingers slightly curved, and the
panlm as rosy as the depths of a lovely
shell.
"My babyl'whispmed the mother, ad
orin the little sleeper as mothers will.
"My own little baby!"
She bent over suddenly, a third time
impelled by that mysterious force which
was controlling her, and for no apparent
reason took the sleeping baby in her
arms and went swiftly into the other
room. She had scarcely crossed the
threshold when a startling sound caused
her to look back. Through a sling cloud
of thick gray dust, she saw that the ceil
in above the baby's cradle had allen.

1,
e What a Spider Was Obeed to do Under
I the N J..e of the Tualagferk.
A great many yers ago a prisoner of
$ state, who was allowed to cheer the soli
a tude of his dungeon by playing on his
e flute, discovered after awhile that every
time he played a great numbers of spi
e ders gaihered abort hiuh. Since then
e the liking of spidets for music has been
proved. I myself had cften wished to
N play for a spider audience, but I was not
s well enough acquainted with any musi
e cal instrument to toax a tune out of
it.
A scientifie gentleman of Europe gave
gave rie a valuable hint by an elperi
nient of his own. He eeda tuningfbrk.
Now I can play a. taninglork as well as
anybody. I procured a tuningfork, and
then sought out a spider. I found a
handsome, brand-new web. and. though
I did not see Mistress Epeira, I knew
she must he at honie. Epeira diadema
is her full name, though most persons
call her a garden spider. It is she who
r makes those beautiftul, wheel-like webs
which festoon" the rosebushes and trees.
I As I have raid, Mme. Spider was not
- visible. I anew, however, Fhe must be
in her gossamer parlor, which is attach-.
ed to her web.
s Here was a good chance to try tuning
s fork music. I rapped the fork on a stone
and in a momneat a soft, melodious ham,
filled the air. I touched one of the
e spokes of the web wit, the fork. On
the instant, madame flew out of her par
r lor in great" haste, hesitated a u.oment
at the out edge of the web, and then in
stead of going straight to the tuning-fork
ran to the very centre of the'web.
When thexe, she quickly caught hold
tof each of the spokes oneafter the other,
t and gave it a little tog, as a boy does his
fishing line to see if a fish s hooked.
Each was passed by until she came to
- the spoke upon which the humming-fork
r rested. There she stopped, and it was
easy to see she was excited. She gave
the whole web a shake; thentuedat
s the spoke again. "Hut~.-am-m, still
s ang the fork, rather faintly now, how
Seve.
e Madame was satified. Her mind was
made up. Down she darted and caught
Sthe end of the fork ib4leawet·'i-l*
Stred to bite into the hard metal, and at
the same time she spun a web of silk
around the. two prongs, which by this
L time had ceased vibrating.
I pulled the fork away, and Mme.
e Epeira retired in disappointment to the
centre of the web. But.if she was disap
t pointed, so was I, for I was satisfied that
r it was not the music of the fork that bad
r attracted her. Unfortunately. it was al
B together too prolable that she mistook
i the bum of the fork for the buz of a fly
-a sort of music no doubt very sweet to
her.
Time after time I repeated the experi
mentwith the fork,touohigin turn each
B spoke of the web, and each time Mime.
Spider was deluded into trying to cap
ture the tuning-fork. It wat odd that
she did not learn wisdom by repeated
disappointment.

"Poor Orindstone."
Youth ' Cominpaion.
Ayearser twoago an old lady lied in
an inland town of New York, whase for
tune and family gave her a high social
position, but who bore among her neigh
bors the odd sobriquet of "Grindstone,"
because, as they explained, "All the tern
pers and tongues of the town were sharp
ened by coming near her."
In her youth poor (rindstone had
been a beautiful, warm-hearted girl.
But she had a keen eye for a~y ridicu
lous trait in others, and a scathing, mer
ciless wit in exposing it.
the also had a lpeculiar talent which
is attributed to Theodore Hook, of ex
temporizing verses, each of which sasir.
ized soume person present. At every
party she was called on for such a song,
which was received with loud applause,
and laughter. But each verse of that
cost her a friend.
The girl (like hundreds of other girls
who are making the same fatal error)
was not ill-natured, and did not mean to
hurt anybody by her cruel jests. She
only craved admiration, and mistook
the amusement she caused for homage
to herself. It is probable that ise died
not knowing, why, .when her fqrnier
school-mates were happy wives and
'l46there, she had been left alone to a
bare, titter old age, with neither friend
nor lover.
In every social circle there may- e
found some young girl-usually bright
and clever-who asuumes superority to
the young people about her, and delights
in "taklng off" their peculiarities and
weaknesses.
In places of sumnler resort, where.
co•nmmon sense would suggest that people
go to be friendly and happy together for
a brief month or two, there is a.wavs a
family or group who hold themselves
aloof fromnt other people qye their com
panions with ill-naturedamusemaent, and
apparently ftnd their highest enjoyment
in satirizing them.
These unfortunate wits never are con
scious that they themselves art the losers
and the only -real victims of Ibefr poison
ed arrows. All happy, genial enjoyment
goes by without warming them. They
meet men and women with noble natures
high aims and beautifIl lives, whoconld
give them upitei e.vip ant comfort
through life. but they see only their
r,.r noses, or country mannes, or
'i iculous guWnR, and gain f}ta them
only a moment of inane laughter. They
