in the room, and down the staircase,
and then the sounds died away, and
Mrs d D'Eresby only heard the cries and
means of the girl whom they had left.
The firmness which she had lost for q
moment returned to her. Even if they
should come back and kill her, she
would go to the girl-the poor girl who
had sacrificed herself for her.
She found her huddled upon the floor,
writhiag in agony.
81 have come back to you, Adele, my
dear. Are you much hurtP Your eyes
are not injured, thank God! it is only
your chin and neck"
She knelt beside her and examined
the extent of her injuries.
go madame, have | done this for
nothingp" cried Adele, between her
groans. "They will come back and
find you, and then-leave me, leave
mel"
Her frightened servants, mostly WON
en-, were by this time huddled together
in the room.
"Help me, Randall" she said to the
coachman. "I am going to take Adele
with me to Madame B-'s. We must
walk, for a carriage could not pass
through the streets. Tomorrow I will
find place of safety''
Half carrying the girl, now almost
insensible, Mrs. D'Eresby and her serv-
ants proceeded to the house of her
friend, and a physician was instantly
procured for the injured girl.
She recovered-very much disfgured,
it is true, but the upper part of her face
was untouched, and she is happy in
spite of the scars Sc scars of honor" :"
as Mrs. D'Eresby calls them.
That lady found an opportunity of
getting to England shortly after these
events. Her house was burned the
night she left it, but her losses were in
considerable.
She adopted Adele as her daughter,
educated her, and has no fears that she
will ever be reclaimed by her terrible
mother, who probably met the fate of
many of her sister petroleuses. They
live in beautiful portion of Devonshire,
and am sure my young readers will
agree with me that Adele merits all the
good fortune that has befallen her

The Power of Woman.

During the last two weeks large
number of pilgrims have arrived at Glen
dale. among whom are number of the
gentler sex, and in consequence thereof
no one can form an idea of the change
that has already taken place. Old '49-ers
that have lived in the mountains for the
last thirty years on bread and bacon and
slept on the ground, and in all that time
scarcely laid eyes on woman, can pow
be seen on the street harnessed in store
clothes, with billed shirts. There amt
a man in Glendale over twenty years
old. On Sunday evening we saw one of
surprised by being asked how he came
to leave Alder Gulch in '68 that he ad-
justed his wig, swallowed half a set of
false teeth, and then swore lie was a
school-boy in Missouri at that time.-

THE day of defensive armor seems
to have gone by. War vessels are
already protected with armor as much
as they can be, and yet float. In
fact, the ironclads are row practical
ly unseaworthy from the weight they
carry, and still there are guns III ex-
istence capable Of sending masses OF
metal through there sides. In re-
cent experiment, one of the l00-ton
guns drove a Whitworth conical shot
weighing full ton, through two sol
id feet of we'll tempered steel plating,
and that. too, when the plating was
braced and backed 80 as to offer the
maximum resistance. Evidently
there will soon be revolution in
naval warfare. No nation can afford
to build very expensive ironcladi
merely to have their sides battered
and perforated by the first heavily
armed vessel or fort they engage ii

NEVER MARRY man who has only

That is very fascinating, but it does
not make the man. If he is not
otherwise than be should be, you
will not be happy. The most per
feet man who does not love you
should never be your husband but
though marriage without love is ter
rible, love only will not do. If this
man is dishonorable to other men, or
mean, or given to any vice, the
time will come when you will either
loathe him or sink to his level. IL
is hard to remember, amidst kisses
and praises, that there il anything
else in the world to be done or
thought of but love making; but tae

LOVE or MONEY. 1t is impossi-
BILE to disguise the fact that the love
of money is our natural failing. The
desire to grow rich, the wish to pos
sess money, absorbs the American
mind almost to the exclusion Of
everything else. This is the moloch
to whom we sacrifice health, time,
honor and reputation. We throw all
into the balance, even our immortal
souls, and care not il we lose that 80
we gain the world. Money has been
the root of all our evil, and TO grasp
the glittering treasure we have ruth
lessly trAmpled on what we once
deemed sacred and precious. The
church, the government, business,
society, the home, all show the trail
Of the serpent and it is time the
watchman on the tower should warn
the people Of the danger ahead =
We are drifting away from the
strongholds Of integrity, as a nation
we are losing caste let US return to
the safe harbor Of honesty and honor
before we make a total wreck of
what is of more value than money,
our good name here and our immor
tai souls hereafter. The decay of
Greece can be traced to the luxury
of her people. 1t must not be said
in future ages that Americas decay
was due to her love money.

beauty, order, aud happiness in ma

the present state but this will be
our ornament and dignity in every

the arts of life be soon forgot; but

is ne argument, or motive, which is
at all fitted to influence a reasonable
mind, which does call US to this.

the world. If you are wise, then,
