A woMAN's LOVE.

A man who had struggled siih ms
lignsnt disease, approached that crisis in
in ito stage, on which his life seemed 70 de-
pend. Sleep, uninterrupted sleep might
ensure his recovery. His anxious wife,
scarcely daring to breathe, Was sitting BY
his bed; her servants, exhausted by con-
slant watching, had all left her. Il was
past midnight-a door was open for sir
she heard, in the stiffness Of the night, .
window open below stairs, and soon after
approaching footsteps. A moment more,
and a man with his face disguised, entered
the room. She instantly saw her hus-
bands danger, and anticipating the design
of the UNIV elcome intruder, she pointed to
her husband, and pressing her finger upon
her lip to implore silence, held out to ths
robber her purse and keys. To her sur
prise, he took neither. Whether he was
terrified or charmed by the courage Of her
affection, cannot be known. He LEFT the
room; and without robbing house sane
tilted by such strength of affection, he de-
parted. SdIonviie Iris.

MONUMENT mo- TnE sIGNERs,

Why is 1t, in this mountaineering
age, that no one seems to have thought Of
erecting one to the memory of the noble
and far-seeing men whose names are APP
pended 10 the Declaration Of lndepend-
ence? PSI
Baltimore long since honored herself by
discharging debt of patriotic gratitude TO
her gallant defenders in the war of 1912,
by raising beautiful monument, on which
are inscribed the names Of those who fell
inthe conflict at North Point. The whole
nation is interested in the progress Of The
Washington Monument OF The Capital, and
will acquire credit in the eyes OF the civ
ilized world, when il is worthily compile
ted. All this is well and deserving Of
commendation. There is an Untold pow
er and value in all these edifces, not only
as mementoes Of great and glorious deeds
and men, but as incentives TO youthful
minds TO emulate them.
But whose memory is more worthy o.
perpetualion, whose lofty patriotism shines
more brightly in the history of the past
than that Of the immortal sieners Of lhs
immortal instrument which announced oul
separate and independent existence as |
nalionp Let bek,iing monument b.
reared TO them, and let the names signeS
to the Declaration twine around il, for onl
children and our childrsn's childfen L
gaze 'npon win reverence and admiration

sUBTERRANEAN FIRES.

A correspondent Of the PTssbytefsss.
gives the following brief account Of a sub
terranean fire in Eastern Texas:
There is very singular circumstances
in Shelby county, Texas, Of well that
has been burning aboat twelve months.
at the former residence Of Judge l.nsk.---
When be moved from The place he laid
some logs over the well, from which he
had used water for several years. Some
time after the woods caught FIRE and the
timber, burning fell in, and igniied some
substance, supposed TO be stone coal
The rainy seasons have not extinguished
if, but il has burnt necessarily. II does
not give very ageeable feeling 10 the Wis
itor for il is neither sublime nor beautiful;
but from the deep grumbling noise that Is
heard-the sulphurious smell, and the
dark clond Of smoke, that Is continually
rising, a beholder is fofcibly convinced
that there is actually FIRE and birthstone in
the sub!erranean regions. Various results
are conjectured; perhaps some geologist
can give comfort to the anxious minds Of
the surrounding inhabitants, BY showing
what will be the final termination Of the
Burning Well.
II is stated by the London Times, Of q
late date, that subterranean FIRE is burn
ing near Sheffield, England, which has
been in existence in that vacinity for q
century past. and which has, at various
times, undermined the ground. Portions
of the Sheffield street have sunk years a.
90, exposing the fearful hollow beneath.-s -
Houses have been rendered un,enable on
account of block and choke damp, and cel-
lars have been closed for years. Water
drawn up from wells there, is found rer-
fectly hot. Many years ago flames at
times issued from assures in the fields, and
farm house being undermined, was torn
down. Some years afier, few co.tagss
were erected upon its site, and they tufs-
bled down and have been abandoned.
