the too powerful rays of this glorious
harvest moon indeed turned her brain?
There stood seven stalwart gentlemen
phantoms in line, upon the waters
edge, each presenting her, in silence
grim, with cup.
Suddenly, n succession of piercing
screams sounded in the woods above
Like flash each phantom dropped his
cup and dashed up the bank. Faint
with terror, Bessie sank upon a rock,
and but for the timely assistance of a
pair of arms, accompanying manly
form, which sprang to her side, would
have fallen into the torrent.
"Foolish child w exclaimed Gustave
Melville, sprinkling her face with wa
ter "Why did you come on such a
goose-chase Did you want to meet
your fate, Bessie? May l suggest the
name of one who would gladly fill the
positions" and he gazed tenderly at the
still white face. "Whose cup have you
just drank fromY' and he smiled
roguishly. "Mine, of course" and he
laid his handkerchief, wet from the
stream, upon her forehead "You
would not break such promise, would
you, Bessie?"
She smiled family, while the color
stole slowly back to her cheeks.
"What were those cries ?" she ex-
claimed, springing suddenly to her feet,
as she recalled what had so frightened
her.
"Only Mrs. Jones, dear, who slipped
on stone in hurrying down here to
see the amusement" answered Gus
tave.
"What amusement" cried Bessie.
"And those men with cups standing
here-who were they" she asked,
shivering nervously.
only dear, | greatly fear" said Gus
tave, humorously, chat they were the
gentlemen who listened with us few
moments ago to the story of The
Moon Trialn All l know is, saw each
man catch a cup from the wagon near,
and as you disappeared in the path
they took short cut through the
woods to the water, followed by Mrs.
Jones and i, number of other ladies'
My own darling" and he tenderly lifted
the fair young face to the moonlight,
"would you refuse to listen to one who
has loved you so long and saved you at
last from seven phantoms and watery
grave? Quick, my dear! I hear them
coming. We have but moment to
be alone. Say, Bessie, will you not be
my own dear little wife?"
"Oh, Gustave, how can you doubt
it?' she answered, with dazzling eyes.
"Then The Moon Trial has proved
too true" replied her lover, holding
her close to his heart.
"Too true?" whispered she, joyously.

IRIDIUM.
Discovery OF u Process for Fusing and
lKOiding this Metal.

!
Pro. w. l.. Dudley delivered q lecture
recently before the scientific section of
the Ohio Mechanics Institute, in which
he made known the important discov-
cry of process for fusing and molding
iridium, a metal which has hitherto
been practically incapable Of being form
ed into bars. John Holland, of this
city, who has long used iridium for
making points for gold pens, is the dis
coverer. The discovery consists in APP
plying PHOSPHORUS when the ore is
brought to white heat, and afterward
eliminating the phosphorus by lime ap-
piled with great heat.
The new metal has the appearance
of steel, but is much harder, being next
in hardness to ruby. 1t will not rust,
and cannot be injured by acids. Prof
Dudly stated that bar Of it had been
used with gratifying success in place of
the negative carbon in electric light. 1t
burned sixty hours without any loss in
weight or any perceptible change in
form.
Iridium cannot be fashioned by ham
mering while hot, nor can it be filed.
1t is nodded into convenient forms, and
then sawed or ground by rapidly re-
volving copper disks treated with EN-
cry and water. Great interest has been
aroused by the practical discovery, and
already many uses for the metal have
been suggested, besides the electric
lamp. 1t has been found to be supe-
rior to platinum in telegraph instru-
ments. Prof Dudly gave an interest
ing history Of experiments by chemists
and others with this metal, and it was
now undergoing elaborate examination
at the Cincinnati University.

A housekeeper in Newton, Mass,
writes that her test for oleomargarine
is this: "Take knife-any kind or
shape will do-and scrape the butter (?)
gently, but with firm touch, two or
three times, then hold itup to the light
to discover if there be any fuzz hanging
thereto, or cut off d piece and hold it
in the same position. BY doing thus
the writer of this has found fuzz vary
ing from an eighth of an inch to an inch
in length, This is your suet butter, the

suggestion has been laughed at prehaps

miserable for fourteen years. AT the
first attack thereafter, it was admins

Ordering John Adams Below.

One Of the most successful of the
commanders OF the American navy dur
ing the Revolution was Commodore
Samuel Tucker, of Marblehead. His
biographer, with pardonable, pride in
his hero, claims that he "took more
prizes, fought more sea-hghts, and
gained more victories than, with few
exceptions, any naval hero Of the age"
The simple manners that then pre-
vailed in Marblehead are illustrated by
an anecdote of the way Mr.. fuckers
commission as captain was presented
to him. He was chopping wood one
day in his yard, with his sleeves rolled
up, and tarpaulin hat slouching over
his face. Suddenly an officer rode up
to the gate and halted, looking as if he
had made mistake.
II say, fellow" he shouted, to the
woodchopper, 81 wish you would tell
me if the Hon. Samuel Tucker lives
about here"
Honorable? Honorable?," answered
Tucker; "there is not man of that
name in Marblehead. He must be one
of the family of fuckers in Salem.

The First limo Abraham Lincoln
SWOrC
From a Galena Letter.


Lincoln went to work fora man nam
ed kirkpatrick who promised him $13a
month. Ten was about the usual price
but Lincoln was very strong and Kirk
patrick who ran saw-mill, said it
would save him buying jack-screw to
handle the logs with if he got Lincoln,
so he promised to pay him $13. When
they came to settle up, kirkpatrick
wouldn't pay him but ten and Lincoln
was pretty mad. By the way that led
to the first oath l ever head Lincoln
use. Idon't know but it was the last,
too. You see, about that time the Black
Hawk war broke out. and we organized
a company. The adjutant came over
from Springfield, and the men-about
100 were arassn,.p in line. The nd
jutant told us that the governor would
appoint field officers, the colonel,
major, ETC., but we could elect our own
captain. We had understood this. and
there were two, candidates, Lincoln and
Kirkpatrick. When we were in line
the adjutant asked the candidates to
step ten PAGES in front of the men, and

out he told us that all who wanted
Lincoln should form line by him, and
all who wanted Kirkpatrick could 90
to his side. I was very eager for
Lincoln, and the minute the word was
given ran and stood at his elbow.
The others followed according to their
choice, and in forming the two lines
they became rather crooked, every one
painted to see how many each candi-
date had. Lincoln was 80 tall that he
could see over all our heads, and when
the last man had taken his place and
before the adjutant had counted noses,
he saw that he had triumphed, and he
slapped me on the shoulder and said:
"Bill, I'll be id i'll hain't beat
Ihimw
II think he was more pleased at beat
ing Kirkpatrick, and thus in manner
getting even with him for his dishon-
esty, than he was in securing the cap
taincy of the company.
