Belle, as Fanny reappeared in the parlor a
couple of hours later.
Fanny did not perceive the tall gentleman
who stood conVersing with her father in the
curtained recess of the deep bay window,
and she replied unhesitatingly:
Il have been to see poor Mrs. Gait, who
is dying slowly of consumption. | carried
her few trifing comforts, for she has not
long to live
Belle crimsoned with vexation. The gen.
tleman started violently, and stepped from
behind the curtain.
My sister, Mr.. Hosmer," said Belle.
"a Mrs Galt," replied Belle, fippantly,
"a sick and poverty stricken protege of hers.
We don't encourage her in such vulgarity,
however. "
Il spoke to your sister, Miss Belle, - said
Mr.. Hosmer, with such emphasis that the
| rebuke was keenly felt.
Miss Fanny will you please inform me
what her Christian name is? he asked
earnestly.
1T is Aurelia, believe"
Mr.. Hosmer's voice grew husky
And you say that she is dying -
Eyes going in quick consumption.
You seem to take great interest in a
beggar, Mr.. Hosmer," Bell interrupted,
scornfully
His dark eyes flashed with sudden FIRE,
and his check redeemed angrily as ne re-
joined;
$50 l should Miss Lindsay, when that
beggar is my sister; for Mrs. Gait, the only
sister ever had, could not find for years.
OF course you will not care to wed the broth
er of beggar; therefore, if you please,
We Il now consider our engagement at an
end do not care to have my wife look
down upon me.
There was a scene, but Mr.. Hosmer, who
had wooed and won Belle at Newport, where
he had seen but one side of her character,
was inexorable as Fate, and humbled to the
dust, she gave him up.
Mr. HOsmer went to see his sister, and in
day or two she was removed to the grand
house over which Miss Belle had once so
fondly hoped to preside as mistress. But
his visits to the Lindsay mansion did not
cease with that unfortunate one-or fortu
nate, we prefer to say-and after the death
of Mrs. Gait, who in prosperity, as in ad
versity, regarded Fanny as an angel, his
house grew strangely lonely. And so-but
why proong the tale? He married Fanny,
and is not sorry yet; while Belle, whose
delicate" nerves could scarcely endure
Newport or Saratoga, went through four
seasons at one place or the other before she
caught husband.
Miss Lindsay views were somewhat
modified.

A Scared Duelist.

On certain occasion since the beginning
of 1871, in the little town of Ouachita City,
La, on the banks of the Ouachita River,
about twenty FIVE miles above the city of
Monroe. two gentlemen johnson and Jones)
concluded to play game of seven up at
$5. They took their time ard interspersed
the game with several drinks. They finally
finished the game johnson, being winner,
raked in the money.
Jones studied about it while. He made
up his mind that it was not right for John
son to take the money, as they were neigh
bors-not gamblers, anyway-and were only
in fun. He said:
are you?'
Yes, indeed, am, - said johnson.
We'll, said Jones, you had as well
take it out of-ny pocket
Now, Jones, take that back
Il shall not take that back and if you
are not satisfied, help yourself in any way
you choose. -
But, Jones, insist that you take it
back, because | don't steal. myself. -
Il shall not take it back; and | now re-
peat that you might have stolen that money
out of my pocket Ii you wish difficulty,
you can have it any way you like.
well, then, we will shoot it out, said
johnson.
Very well, sir, said Jones, mention
your time and place.
Without further ceremony, all the ar
rangements were made for the duel to take
place that evening. Many of the neighbors
were there, and at once concluded TO have
the fight come off They knew johnson,
who proposed the shooting, would back out
unless he could be encouraged. They knew,
on the other hand, that Jones would stand
up without hinching. The seconds loaded the
pistols with blank cartridges, and informed
into the secret. They did this to make
johnson stand, which, of course, made him

and Jones was there, cool and calm. The
moment for action arrived and all parties
took their positions-the distance being ten
PAGES The pistols were handed to johnson
and Jones. in deathlike sllence-every one
being as serious as death. The count COM
menced: 'One !"
Stop" said Johuson. SIT is understood
by all parties that there amt no bullets IN
these pistols -
Jones, hearing this, and knowing nothing
of it before rather staggered forward, reel
ing, looked into the muzzle of his pistol, and
cried out, s'Ill be hanged if their ain t bull
! lets in mine y and at the same time pulled
| down on johnson.
This was too much for johnson. He
| broke for the nearest house, which was
about two hundred yards, and they say he
doubled up like four bladed knife, and has
not been seen since, but sent word back
that all might shoot It ont" who chose, but
he wanted none in his. Jones won the field
against all odds

Remarkable Discovery,

A very singular and striking confirmation
Of the truth of certain ancient Bible records
has lately been brought to light The land
of Moab, lying east of the Jordan and Dead
Sea, being under Turkish rule, and the au-
thOrities being jealous of all the movements
of travellers, has been a land of mystery, and
few and far between have been explorations
Of it. In 1868, Rev. T. a, Klein, a Prus
sian missionary at Jerusalem, travelling in
Moab under the protection of an Arab
Sheik. discovered remarkable stone among
the ruins of the ancient city of DibOn. ] he
stone was originally three feet and FIVE inch
es in height, and one foot nine inches In
width and thickness, with an inscription of
thirty four lines. 1t is believed that origin
ally there were eleven hundred letters on
the stone, but only six hundred and sixty
nine have been restored, as ii was partially
broken in pieces after curiosity concerning
it had led the Arabs to suppose it valuable,
and that money could be obtained for sepa-
rate pieces The inscription was in the an
cient characters used by the inhabitants of
Moab, aud having been deciphered by
adopts in this species of lore, it is satisfac
torily ascertained that the inscription is old
er than most Of the Old Testament, and
was beyond doubt, made in the year that
I Elijah the prophet was translated into heav-
en-. 1t reads like chapter in the Bible,
and gives strong confirmation to the facts
related in the inspired volume. 1t has an
age Of at least twenty seven hundred years
being the work of person who dwelt in
immediate contact with the people of Israel
during the whole period of their marvellous
history. The inscription narrates the achieve
ments Of King Mesha, the Moabite mon
arch who fought against Jehoram and Je-
hosaphat, and speaks of the vessels of Je-
hovah taken from the captured Neho and
dedicated to Chemore, the national deity of
! the conqucror. This inscription not only
depicts the wars between Israel and Moab,
so wildly pictured in the Old Testament
but also strikingly illustrates the historical
geographical and religious relations of these
kingdoms There are few Occurrences more
remarkable, even in this age of surprises
than the manner in which the Moabite stone
has been awakened from the sleep of three
! thousand years. to unfold the secret of Ian
guage, and of history, and to confirm, by
! It's emphatic testimony, the essential accu-
racy OF the Book of Books.

With its stars of silver white,
Silver tablet, blank ami bright,
Downy pillowed, satin lined,
That j, lettering, chanced TO find,
Mid the dust, the scent, the gloom
of the undertaker's room
Waiting empty-aIl for whom =?
All what love watched cradle bed
Keeps to night the nesting head
Or on what soft, pillowing breast
Is the cherub form at rest,
That ere long, with darkened eye,
Sleeping to no lullaby,
Whitley robed. and still and cold,
Pale flowers slipping from its hold,
Shall this dainty couch enfoId2
All what bitter tears shall stain
All this sltin sheet like rain,
And what towering hopes be hid
'Nsath this tiny coffin lid
On whose tablet shall appear
Little words that must be there,
Little words cut deep and true,
Bleeding mothers heart anew
Sweet pet name, and aged two.
oh can sorrows lowering plume
Round our pathway cast gloom,
Chill and darksome as the shade
BY an infants coffin made2
From our arm an angel flies,
And cur startled. dazzted eyes.
Weeping round its vacant place,
Cannot rise It's path to trace,
Cannot see the angels face

his own hearth. in the presence of a loving
family, the husband and father, himself the
affectionate head of the household, Cannot
be otherwise than happy He has no com-
petition IN business there, no opposing can
didates for bonors, no grasping and unscru
pulous enemy, who may seek to take advau-
tage of every weak point to injure him and
tear from him his earnings and possessions;
but every one near him gives him preference

emulate each other in doing him heartfelt
honor and destinations or affection, sym
pythize with him in all his sorrows, hopes,
joys and triumphs His loving intercourse
at home is followed by no remorse, is at
tended by no disquieting reflections or re-
Crets. He is there perfectly at ease, may
be himself without reserve, and be sure that
no unpleasant occurrence or consequence
can result therefrom. 1t is his Kingdom,
