he saw in her beautiful, veiled eyes
that made him at once so gallant and
humorous and bold.
But he gained the promise that was
scarcely given before Mrs. Guion en-
tered, as angry as her mOtherly affec-
tion and well-bred politeness would al
low her to be.
"These are unpleasant things
hear" she said; "surely, Reginald,
you have not melted my only son to
disobey me, nor allow him to think that
you discOuntenance such unwarantable
cOnduct?"
"It is best to let young love have its
way, sister; and do you remember the
good old saying that a house divided
against itself shall not stand?' Susie
will be daughter whom you can well
honor and love, and as she is the niece
of this lady who is about to be my wife,
! shall be happy to welcome and esteem
her as the bride Of Douglas"
"Not Agnes De Ideville?" cried Mrs.
GuiOn. with a little gasp of astonish-
ment.
Nevertheless, then and there she ac-
cepted the situation with becoming
grace; and afterwards, as the two
brides became more and more beloved
and admired among their new and aris-
tocratic friends, she became model Of
sister and mother, perhaps because of
policy, and perhaps because under the
ashes CT pride there had ever smOul-
dered flame of womanly kindness and

A Mysterious Pit.

Nearly fourteen miles on almost q
direct line southeast from Bowling
Green, Kentucky, there is a singular
and mysterious pit in the ground. 1t is
situated on ahigh bluff, in a wild filnty
locality, tangled with vines, brambles,
briers, bushes, trees, and shrubbery, on
the waters OF Drake's creek, below the
month of Tammel. The aperture is a
dsrk, gaping hole cleft through the
stony crags, as though the bluff had at
some time cracked aud split. The open
ing is some ten feet long and four feet
wide at the widest part, its rocky yawn-
Ing lips being spread something In the
shape Of a horse collar, the apex, so 10
speak, pointing westward. BY some of
the people in that region II Is known as
"Hell Hole" while Others call 1t "In-
dian Pit" One remarkable feature of
the abyss is that there issues from It's
deep depths, ceaseless as the rounds OF
the seasons, volume OF misty vapor,
which especially on crisp, frosty morn
ings, can be seen ascending above the
tree-tops, and floating of on the air.
whitened with rays of the rising sun.
Flint, boulder shaped stones, and others
worn by the friction Of time, TO perfect
rOundness, are scattered profusely all
about the place, as though thrown high
by some unknown uphesval and show
cred back like rattling halstOnes of all
dimensions. In the fall and winter
this fog volume is warmer than the cut
ting blasts that sweep along the deep
gorge. In summer the mist is cooler
aud not so dense. The pit widens from
the top in its downward course, and
woe to any living thing once swallowed
In its dark mouth. Throw boulder or
stone into it, and not the faintest echo
ever reaches the ear as to whittier il
went. Some seasons since, a party of
persons assembled at the pit, deter
mined to find its hidden bottom. They
were provided with strong cord over
six hundred feet long, to which was at
tached a steel-yard weight. They drop
ped the weight into the hole and paid
out the line. Down, down and down
went the weight till not foot of cord
was left, while not sound came to tell
the tale of its subterraEean passage.
No bottom was reached and the weight
was withdrawn, damp and unsoiled as
though it touched nothing but mist and
darkness, In its sOundings.

Vesuvius.

This remarkable volcano, which is
now in state of eruption, stands on
the east shore of the Bay of Naples, and
about 10 miles from the city. 1t stands
alone on the plains of Campania, upon
base of about thirty miles in circum-
ference. In its upper portion it divides
into two peaks, one of which, called the
Somma, attains the height of 3,747 feet
above the sea and the other, known as
Vesuvius, reaches an elevation of 3,949
feet, but varies both in height and shape
in consequence of the eruptions of the
volcano.
Vesuvius is often mentioned by an
cient Roman writers without allusion
to its volcanic character. The first re-
corded eruption occurred in August,
A. d. 70, and it was during this that
the cities of POmpeii and Herculaneum
were buried beneath the ashes. The
materials elected from the mountain
were scOri@ and ashes alone, the guam
titles of which exceeded its own bulk /;
and In the occasional eruptions which
succeeded these, were the only volcanic
products until the year 1866, when the
first flow of lava occurred. The total
number of its great eruptions, down to
the present time, has been about sixty,
and some of them have been remarkable
for the vast movements taking place in n
short time. Between the years 1906
and 1861 no eruption occurred, except
slight one in 1900. But throughout
this period Etna was in state of un-
usual activity, and this, perhaps, gave
vent to elastic vapOrs and lava that
would otherwise have found a passage
through the craters OF Vesuvlus.
The eruption in 1851 was accompanied
with great currents Of lava, which tlow-
ed over most of the villages at the base
of the mountain, and at the same time
torrents of boiling water were sent forth.
The eruption of 1879 is described as
among the grandest and most terrible
of these phenomena. White sulphur
Gus smoke, like heaps of cotton, rose up
tour times as high as the volcano, and
spread about to proportional extent
In June, 1894, occurred terrible erup-
tion which destroyed tie town of Tore
del Greco. A single stream of lava was
estimated by BREIsLAK as containing
more than 46,O00,OOO cubic feet. The
eruption of 1922 bI oke up the whole top
of the mountain and formed an clip.
tlcal chasm about three miles in circum
ference, and supposed to be 1000 feet
deep. In May, 1856, the floods of lava
destroyed the village of Cercolo.
An eruption of great violence occur
red in December, 1851. The disturbances
commenced on Sunday morning, the
Sth, in tremblings of the ground. In
the afternoon large opening was made
in the ground little above Tore del
Greco, about half way up the mountain,
which was soon followed by others,
| from all of which proceeded terrific eX.

He Could Tree a Boot.

Uncle Jabe Cordwinder was pegging
away upon a pair of half soles the
other evening, and arguing with old
lite Broadacres as to the necessity for
dogs in the economy Of nature.

continued for several days, even up to
January l, 1862, the trembling of the
earth had not ceased. The effect of
this eruption was to materially alter the
shape of Vesuvius. deepening the old
crater aud forming several new ones.
The nature of fhe present eruption
remains to be determined; but 1t is
thought it will be one of considerable
violence. The base of the new cone is
now covered with lava, which Is flow
ing down the sides of the mountain in a
stream of considerable size. Much alarm
is felt in the villages at the foot of the
mountain, the inhabitants of which are
prepared for flight at the first appear
ance of danger.

TIE OLD GRIST MILL.

By Willow Brook, beneath the hill
Stands quaint and gray the old grist mill
Spring mosses on its steep roof grow
Where broad their shade the willows throw.
The pond near by is clear and deep,
And round its brink the Alders sweeps
The lily pads spread gay and green
The lilies white and gold between;
While grinds the mill with rumbling sound
The wAter-wheel turns round and round
Among the reeds the musk-rAt dives;
And swift the swallow homeward flies
The robin sits in cedars near
Where Willow Brook runs swift and clear
The children by the school-house play,
Where slumberous shadows softly stray
And warm aud low the summer breeze
Ia whispering thro' the willow leaves
While grinds the mill with rumbling sound
The water-wheel turns round and round.
The crows now wing their southern way
The squirrels In the nut trees play;
With n erry shouts the school boys runs
The mountains blush meath autumn's sun
Their grain they bring adown the hill,
The farmers, to the old grist mill
And. faint from far DER hill and dale
Falls on the ear the threshers fail
While grinds the mill with rumbling sound
The water-wheel turns round and round.
Long years have come and passed away;
The mill with age is gaunt and gray;
The roof gaps wide TO rain and SUM-
With cobwebs thick the walls are hung.
The pond is overgrown with weeds
The marsh-wren builds among the reeds
The night winds thro the willows moan
The school-house gone, the children grown;
The farmers sleep where wild flowers grow
Who brought their grain 80 long ago,
When ground the mill with rumbling sound
And the water-wheel turned round and round

Flame Under Ashes.

Reginald Douglas had just returned
from the Occident, and it was not
tardily made known that he had accu-
mulated fortune within the shadow
of the Golden Gate.
He was much past forty, and child
less widOwer, and it was not long be-
fore his sister knew that he intended to
make her handsome son his heir.
But Mrs. GuiOn was plentifully en-
dowed with the good things of this
world, and demurred in a manner
seemingly wise and affectionate.
"You are not old Reggy," she OBJ
served, tenderly, "and most desirable
women admire you. Why should you
not marry again and rear up a
family of heirs and heiresses of your
own?"
A most satirical smile curled his
bearded lips.
II did not find matrimony so sweet
and fine state that should wish to
try it again." he answered.
"And yet your late wife was said to
be beautiful, irreproachable. and rich
and aristocratic like YOURSELF" re-
turned the sister.
Yes" he replied slowly; "but a
wife if unloved and unloving may be
all this and yet make home a hateful
place, and husband a cynic or a
flend."
Glow very shocking!" calculated
Mrs. GuiOn.
1.-THE only woman | ever loved, he
went on bitterly, "was false, or think
ing me so, vanished out of my life in
silence and mystery; and that event
left my heart in ashes. l married in
angry haste, and my bonds are my
rightful punishment"
"There must still be flame beneath
the ashes, Reginald" was the half
playful reply; "or surely you could
not remember Agnes De Ideville to
speak of her thus"
"l loved her." he said,
Impossible! You could not have
truly loved variety actressP"
"And why not?" he demanded with
energy; "Agnes was pure as snow and
as noble in principle as she was comely
of person. She was the sole support
of a dying father and heart-brOken
invalid sister. She could procure no
other employment to give them the
necessaries of life. Surely it was no
l. l.dishonor, with such motive, to sing
per bread, though her songs were

this end the national committee will
furnish weekly lists of councils char
tered in each state to the executive
committee of that state. if there be
state organization; and, by the instru-
mentality OF this system OF councils.
secure the organization Of states now
unorganized. From these local cOun-
ellis the organization of counties. cities
and states will be developed as the ne
cessities of each locality may demand.
The National committee will pub
fish promptly q campaign song book.
and it invites contributions from song
writer's. The songs should be accom-
panied by the music, or should be set
to popular airs. The committee feel,
that this crisis SHOULD bring forth
such songs as similar struggles in be-
half of human rights have inspired.
The committee urges that local Or
CARNATIONS be perfected rapidly. and
that tickets be nominated in localities
where there are spring elections. A
success in city, or town, or town.

to more important victories. The re-
cent gratifying successes of the Ma
tional party in local contests in New

aging to the workers in the cause
everywhere. These gains in the east
may be equalled and surpassed else
where by active and Jealous work.
The committee respectfully requests
that Greenback and Labor local or
