The most remarkable lovc story of
tho summer Is told by the Port Jervfs
Union. Four years ago, q gentleman
of twenty-three won tho heart of a lady
Of nineteen. She was the daughter OF
plous parents, aud although she was
not connected with any church, looked
with a feeling akin to horror on any
thing approaching skepticism. But
the time came when she learned that
her lover was tleist; that he had no
veneration for the Bible, and took no
interest in churches. She was deeply
panied by the revelation. She sent for
her lover and endeavored to convince
him of his error, but he was not satis-
fed with her arguments. She finally
wrote to him q tear stained letter
bidding him goodbye forever. The
lady mourned, but tried to convince
herself that she had acted correctly.
Two years made her moro liberal than
she had been. The moro sho read tho
more she dtstrusted her former docis-
ion, and she finally became quite as
liberal as the lover she had discarded.
The lover, too, had undergone change.
Last winter a revival of religion took
place In the city in which he was Oh
gagged In business. Suffice It to say
| that he united with the church, and In
q short time became q zoalous member.
He thought over the action of his
former sweetheart in discardiDg him
for his infidelity, and wrote her a brief
note asking the privilege of once moro
calling on her. When she timidly
apologized for her previous dismissal
of him, he, to her surprise, defended
her conduct, said she had been in the
right, aud in her place he would do
the same. Her heart sank at these
words. She confessed the great change
in her sentiments; from being firm
believer In the Bible, she had discarded
1t, and with 1t her belief In any re-
vealed religion. He pleaded with her,
induce her to change her mind. She
could not, and told him so. He felt
that he must not bc yokcd with an un-
believer, aud gave her up.

A SLIGHT MISTAKE.
Cincinnati Enquirer.1


A countryman walked into ono Of
tho leading wholesale and retail dry
goods and millinery establishments on
West Fourth street recently, and after
looking around n while with mingled
astouishment and delight, picked up a
lady's handsome cape and said
t'That's alfred fine goods for the
money"
The clerk said 1t was certainly very
cheap and very excellent quality of
goods, at the same time wondering
how the stranger knew the price Of the
article without asking.
"Goods is way down, an that's q
fact" continued the countryInan, stbut
blessed If can SEQ how a thing like
| that can be built for twice the money" !"
and he examined the delicately wrought
garment with much curiosity.
| "GOOds never were SO low as they
are now," explained the clerk, tsand
besides, weimport such enormous quan.
titles of them that we can sell them al
the lowest possible figure"
Sliding further along the counter, thu
rural delegate picked up a rich opers
cloak, and, after adnirlng it for some
time, and without asking whether Il
was 81 or $75, said he believed it was
the cheapest piece of goods he hat
cNcI AuASi Ills eyes OH. ~ AuO" At'
tie gall" said nc, with sly wink al
the salesman, tthat'I just lay 'em out
in that shawl. Wrap 'er up, and tic 1t
with a red string, an the moneys
yourn."
The salesman tied tho package with
a red string, as directed, and laid 1t
down by the counter, as the country
! man showed over a handful of corn.
"There's only ninety-nine cents
here" said the clerk, as he counted
! the last copper into his hand.
"Well, how much did you suppose
there was there?"
81 want $12 5O," said the clerk.
The countryman uttered IL prolonged
whistle, and then asked:
"Isn't this ninety-nine cent store?"
"Not by a jugful it isn't. This Is
- g. Co.'S. importing and jobbing
establishment, one of tho largest"
But the countryman was gone. Tho
parcel had dropped from his nervclcss
grasp. He reached the sidewalk, and
looking up at tho big, big nincty-ninc
which indicated tho number, remark
cd:
Gail I'vc got to say is, if this amt n
ninety mine cent shcbang, they'd bet

been experienc hereabouts for some time
set in on Thursday evening last, about Z
O'Clock. 1t was accompanied by q strong
west wind, veering little to the north.
and ragged with increasing fury nearly all
night. At eleven O'Clock the snow fell so
thick and fast and the wind blew with such
violence as to create simply a fearful tenn
pest. Snow fell to the depth of u to II
inches, and in many places it was so badly
drifted as to entirely blockade the roads.
The lane south of town was literally filled
even with the top of the fences. from one
end to the other. 1t was the most tremen-
dous snow storm OF the season. if not, in

fury in this vicinity this year. We had
