The Course OF True Love on Ice.

SHE came tripping from the church door,
her face flushed by emotions awakened
by the just-uttered discourse, and eyes
bright with loving expectation He shiv-
cred on the curbstOne, where for an hour
he had waited impatiently with burning
heart fairly palpitating in his throat, and
frozen fingers in his pockets They linked
arms and started for the residence of her
parents. After few moments hesitating
silence he said: "Jane, we have known
each other long, You must know just
how feel. You must have seen that
clear down at the bOttom-Oh, Mosesr'
He had slipped down on the ice with so
much force that his spine was driven up
into his hat, and his hat was tipped over
his nose, but she was a tender-hearted
girl. She did not laugh, but she carefully
helped him to his feet, and said:
You were saying, John, when you
slipped that the toundation-Oh, good
ness!"
She slipped herself that time, and saw
little stars come down to dance before her
eyes, but he pulled her up in haste and
went on.
" Yes; just as said, clean down at the
bottom OF my heart is a fervent love, on
which l build my hopes. That love has
helped me stand face-'Chunderl''
He was down again, but scrambled up
before she could stoop to help him, and
she said, breathlessly:
" Yes, yes, John. You remember, you
just said love which helped you stand
and face thunder. And that YOU founded
your hopes on-This pesky ice!"
There she sat. John grasped the loose
part of her sacque between the shoulders
with one hand, and raised her to her feet
as one would lift kitten from pail OF
water by the back of the neck. Then he
said, with increased earnestness:
" OF course, darling, and have longed
for an opportunity to tell my love and
to hear those sweetlips whisper-whoopr
Somehow Johns feet had slipped from
under him, and he had come down like a
capital V with his head and feet pointing
Skyward. She twined her taper fingers in
his curling locks and raised him to the
stature OF man, set his hat firmly over
his eyes with both hands, and cried, in
breathless haste:
:" understand, and let me assure
you, John, that il it is in my power to
tighten your cares and make brighter
your journey through life to-Jerusalemm
John stood alone, and said, with breath
less vehemence
"Oh, my precious! and thus shall it be
my lifelong pleasure to lift you from the
rude assaults of earth and surround YOU
with the loving atmosphere of--Texasg"
And there they both sat together. They
had nearly reached the gate, and hand to
hand, and with hearts overlooking with
the bliss of young loves first confession,
they crept along on their knees up the
front steps, and were soon forgetful OF
their bumps on the softest cushion of the
parlor sofa.-BOstOn Times.

Belgium coal mine on the 4th. Up to the
morning of the 9th only fifty of the 210
men known to have been in the mine had
been rescued alive, and. il was feared that
all the rest had perished. ea ts
A FALSE alarm of fire in crowded
opera-house in Cincinnati on the after
noon of the 9th, caused fearful and fatal
panic. Just as the performance was about
to begin some one in the balcony raised
the cry of " fire. when the crowd in the
gallery rushed for the doors. -Four women
and five children lost their lives in the
scramble for exit by being either trampled
to death or injured in some other manner,
and several others were seriously hurt.
ACCORDING to Constantinople dispatch
of the 9th the Porte had that day dis
patched TO his ambassadors at the courts
of the six guaranteeing powers a reply to
Count Andrassy's note. He says the Turk
ish Government had resolved to apply to
the insurgent districts the five leading
points Of Andrassy's scheme, namely, re.
ligious liberty, modification of the system
of tithes, granting of facilities TO agricul-
turists, application of a portion of the
revenues of the insurgent provinces to
local improvements, and the appointment
of a mixed commission of Mussulmans
and Christians to watch the execution of
these reforms.
The residence ef George Heindle, near
the village of Hallowayville, Bureau
County, ILL.,, was destroyed by fire on the
night of the 4th, aud Mr.. and Mrs. Heindle
and two young children perished in the
flames. The oldest daughter, about nine
teen years of age, and sole survivor of the
family, made her escape by leaping from
the roof of the house, but saved nothing
but the night-clothes she had on.
Two FEMALE pedestrians-Miss Won
Hillern "a German woman) and Mrs. Mar
shall, of Chicago-finished a. six days
walking match at an armory building in
Chicago, on the evening of the 9TH, the
latter winning the contest. The distance
accomplished by the victor was 233 9-10
miles to 23119 by her opponent. Both
women were we'll exhausted by their
lengthy tramp, the winner being, if any
thing, the more used up of the two.
A LONDON dispatch of the 7th says
Cardinal Manning had denied that he had
made overtures TO the Vatican in behalf of
English ritualists. .-s...
THE London Times of the 7th contains
a letter from Seville, Spain, which says
the recent elections in Spain were carried
by shameless frauds on the part of the
Ministry.
A RECENT Brussels dispatch says the
Common Council of Antwerp had invited
Mr.. Motley, the historian Of the Dutch
Republic, to grand historical .fete in
honor of the patriots of the sixteenth cen
tury. s
GEN. BABcocK arrived in ST. Louis ON
the 9TH, and his trial ON the charge of
completely with the whisky frauds was
begun in that city on the 7th. He pleaded
mot guilty." and the court adjourned to
the Sth A motion for new trial in the
case of Mr.. Mckee was made on the 5th.

A woman never can forget
The man who once has loved her; and
To-day seem to See him stand,
With every glance mute caress,
Still pleading for the longed-for Yes.
His early love for me is dead
Another lives in that loves stead;
And If he loves her well, as men
Should love their chosen ones, why, then
He must be glad that long ago,
Instead Of Yes, gave him No.
Perhaps that is the reason why

came up here to the gates of Paradise. l
am told they are open to poor creatures
like me--and now have no house left
down upon the rampant; not that think
this VIII give me admission here"
Then the gates of heaven were opened,
and the angel led the old woman in She
left straw behind her, straw that had
been in her bed when she set it on fire to
save the lives of many, and this straw
had been changed into the purest gold
into gold that grew and grew, and spread
into beauteous leaves and flowers
Look, this is what the poor woman

thou hast accomplished nOthing-thou
hast not made so much as single brick.
All, if thou couldst only return, and effect
at least so much as thatl Probably the
brick, when thou hast made 1t, would not
be worth much but if it were made with
good will, it would at least be something.
But thou canst not go back, and can do
nothing for theep'
Then the poor soul, the old dame who
had lived on the dixie, put in petition
for him. She said: Ills brother gave
me the bricks and the pieces out of which
built my house, and that was a great
deal for poor woman like me. Could
not all those bricks and pieces be counted
as a single brick in his favorg 1t was an
act of mercy. lie wants it now; and is
not this the very fountain of mercy?"
Then the angel said "Thy brother,
whom thou hast regarded as the least

seemed TO thee as the most humble, hath
given thee this heavenly gift. Thou shalt
not be turned away. 1t shall be vouch-
safed to thee 10 stand here without the

A Remarkable Case of EmbezzIement.

Now A young banker abscOnds with all
his customers money. This case is a lit
tie peculiar. The young man squandered
il all upon woman, but who do YOU
suppose that woman was? Why, his own
mother! She is very handsome widow,
forty, who has a passion for fashionable
life. The young man, her son, is a weak,
coed fellow, who loves his mother-as
very few sons do-and can refuse her moth
ing. When he went into business for
himself, she emerged from the humble
boarding house where they had lived, and
took an elegant house up town, and COM
menced living in the style of wealthy
people.
She set up carriage-she had. the
house full of servants-she gave elegant
entcrtainments-she bought diamonds,
and cOmol's hair Ohavgls, and, in short, she
lived at a rate that made all her old friends
turn green with envy. The son, at this
time, was furnishing her with the means
for all this extravaganza, knowing that
the end was ruin, but his mother liked it,
and he was too weak to say no. She prob
ably knew that she was living beyond his
means, but the madness was on her, and
she could not stop.
The end came last week. The young
man and mis- mother sailed for Rotterdam,
taking with them every dollar that was in
the concern, and all that could be bor-
rowed, begged or stolen. 1t is supposed
that the absconding, like all the rest OF it,
was the inspiration OF the mother, Tor all
