dierw But hear my story, and let it
plead for gentle answer to my suit.
My mother has a ward, the daughter
of dear friend, who, when dying, be-
queathed her only child to my mothers
love and care. My dear mother imag-
ines that this beautiful child's happiness
can be secured only by union with me,
and being entirely ignorant of my love
for you, urges me to WOO her lovely pro-
tege. Vainly have urged the plea that
my regard for Ada St. Clare is only that
of brother, and that although pleasing
and beautiful she does not reach my ideal
woman; and consequently a union with
her would be false and unholy. My
mother continues to urge her wishes, and
has even made them point of filial duty
and affection. 1 have often spoken to
you of my mother and of her deyotions
to me, her only child. Ny father died
when I was an infant, and my dear
mother but girl in years, with devo-
ton which characterizes the mother love,
gave up her life to mine. To me she
became mother, sister, friend, guide and
even a playmate. Well do 1 remember
the card castles we built, and the long
stories they gave birth to-of fair danes,
gentle maidens and noble knights. Each
tale pointed to some achieved goodness
or greatness, and awakened in my bosom
aspirations after heroic grandeur and
moral greatness. And my mothers
smile of approval was ever the guerdon
which Imagination held up to me; and,
until I met you, the only one from boy
hood to manhood / strove to win. You
can, then, form some idea of the pain it
gives me to say "No" to my mother. 1t
is in your power to end, without giving
pain to my beloved parent, the unflial
contest. Marion, may I go to her and
say: "Mother, I cannot WOO Ada st.
Glare, 1 am pledged to another, a lovely,
gentle girl, the sister of Walter Maham,
whom I love, as I can only love once
she has said to me: Hubert, 1 love
you, and in some happier day, a bright
future will be yoursT" Then I know
my mothers wishes will yield to mine;
her heart will open to welcome daugh-
ter, and the Southern Lily will be ten
derly cherished in our Northern home.
Marion, Marion, let not pride master
love. Do not rob me of hope. What
the knowledge of your love and its holy
influence on my life has been to me you
can never, never know. You cannot
guess how fair the pictures bright fancy's

painted of that happy future my heart
waits and watches for, when I may soy

Answer speedily, and crown my loyal
love at least with new hope.

A Reporters Narrow Esca1pe.
[From st. Paul Dispatch, March IS. ]


A former veteran reporter of the
Pioneer. who rejoices in red wig, met a
narrow escape last night, which might
have resulted fatally, if it had not result.
ed otherwise. The reporter in question
has ledger who usually takes dash of
ten or twelve miles on horseback about
midnight, in order to obtain an appetite
for sleep and breakfast. Last night the
horseback exercise transformed
the spinal marrow of the
rider into an ic!cle and when our red.
wigged reporters ledger returned he was
cool. Throwing open the hampers to the
stove in his room, he hung his spurs up in
his watch fob and, plunging into bed, was
soon steadily asleep. If there is any,
thing which the ex. Pioneer's reporter is
proud Of more than his wig
it is his nose. 1t is as long as a
giratfe's neck and the nostrils
distend like a sharks mouth. About
one o'clock this morning those nostrils
began to work, and by half past three
they had become sufficiently active to
reach the sensibilities of the reporter.
By four o'clock he thought he smellcd
something. and by five o'clock he was so
certain OF it that he sprang from his bed
and making hasty toilet by putting on
his specs, rushed to the upper room of
his ledger. Here he soon found that
sparks do not always fly upward, for huge
one had deposited itself under the bed
and was gradually but surely warming
up that frozen spinal marrow. About
six square feet Of the floor was in gen.
tie blaze, but the reporter displayed rare
presence Of mind and agility. With one
fell swcop he brought down his
right bare foot, completely covering the
burning space and extinguishing the
flame with greater ease than If he had
been CULVER among the Lilliputians.
The only bad result was slig ht toe
blister, making him limp triae, and it
was not until daylight that the re-
porter fully realized the peril he had es.
capped. He then found that in the haste
of dressing himself with pa of spccta-
cles he had knocked the glass out and
mounted the empty rims upon his flow.
ing rose. If the glass had remained in
the specs he never could have discovered
the fire, and undoubtedly ne and his
entire family would have fallen
victims to the flames. That we
are not called upon to record
this heartrending calamity is due entirely
to an overruling Providence, wide nose,
a petite foot and hasty spectacle cos
tune adapted to the winter season. If
it had not been as it was, it might have
been worse.

Mrs. Schurz, the wife of ex-senator
Carl schurz, died yesterday afternoon at
her husband residence in this city, No.
40 West Thirty.second street, Of puer-
peral fever. She gave birth on the even
ing of Sunday, the 5th inst, to a boy
her fifth child. Great anxiety has been
felt ever since by the physicians as to her
condition. For some days she seemed
easier, but on Tuesday morning the fever
appeared to reach its crisis, and since that
time she has been gradually sinking.
Mrs. Schurz Was the daughter of a we'll
known and wealthy Hamburg family
Hell. marriage to the ex-senator was es.
sentially a love match. She met him
when be was young, poor, defeated rev.
olut'oalst, an exile from Prussia, and
with price set upon his head; married
him then, and has been since the most
devoted Of wives and mothers.
Senator Schurz is doubly afflicted by
this loss, as it is only a few weeks
since his venerable father died in Illinois.
Mr.. Schurz had visited him short time
before, but was compelled to return to
New York by his anxiety concerning
the health Of his wife. When dispatches
came announcing his fathers rap id de-
cline, he was unable to start West
again because of his wife's con.
dition, and was thus deprived
of the mournful pleasure of soothing his
fathers last hours upon earth. He is
now called suddenly to bear a second and
even greater bereavement. Mrs. Schurz
leaves two grown daughters, son three
or four years old, and the infant boy,
born ten days ago. She was attended
throughout her illness by DR.. Jacob, and
had besides, in consultation, the best
medical advice.
