Seated in the parlor Of her fathers
magnificent residence. LuEline Loose
hair allowed her taper fingers to wan-
der idly over the keys Of the II
ano, and, obedient to her delicate
touch, there f,ated forth upon the
cir ;hs strains Of that beautiful nsss
erera, "Since Papa Tore biz Pants.
And as she eat there, absorbed in the
sad reflections to which the music
gave rise, the door opened softly, and
Berwick Hetherington entered the
room. Lurline, all the ssIses Of her
passionate nature absorbed in the
music, continued to play, not know
ing that the man she loved, and to
wiz whose pccketbook in return ehe
would have hustled ayour q with dread
earn.stness, was standingby her side
But at last Berwick placed his hand
gently on her shoulder, aud BY that
inde6nable sense that tells us OF g
human presence. although We zee it
not, she knew that somebody was
around. Turning quickly, she cav
Mr.. Hetheriugton.

she said, a blush flooding the face
that ench little time ago was pale
and calm, cor ahould not have play

"Can you not favor NE with soma
thing more ?" he asked.
The blush grows deeper and more
vivid now, and the dropping eyes are
moiet with tears. But in an instant
she RECEIVERS her seli.possessiou, and
looks at him in the frank. honest
way in which Cincinnati; glrls ask for
more pie.
II cannot play my ether piece,
she gays. half sadly, half dt6antly
"Are you sure of this, Lurline?
BERWICK asks, bending over her in
loving way. Think we'll before you

swer moy depend the future hap
piness of two young lives.
II am quite sure, she says.
Then you must be my wife" And
as he spesks these words BERWICK
Hs,herington's face lights up with q
rapturous, Schuyler Colfax smile.
"Do you love me-" he aaks.
For answer. she puts her arms
around his neck. kisses LIN coldly
behind the left ear, and then a grea;
silence fells upon them.
Presently Berwyck rises to go
"You will come again to morrow eve

"And you will not regret your

"Never." he esys, in clear, steady

WHEN THE ROSES DRooP IN FALL


When the roses droop IN fall,
And the fragrant zephyrs cease.
When the frosta spread over all.
And the summer tithes release,
Love will linger, hearts be true.
Though the birds have flown away;
We,st home will hope renew,
While the winds Of winter play.
When the roses droop in fall
They again will come some day;
When no winters storm will call,
When the sunshine beams in May,
We shall always joyful be.
Love will make fair Eden sweet;
For in blisssul unity.
Heaven was made for earth's retreat
When the roses droop in fall,
Think not sadly OF the past;
Winters frosts should not appall,
Trying times won't always last.
Roses shall again appear,
Birds will ccme again to sing;
All will be sweet and dear,
When the roses come in spring.

Carson Appeal.
1t ia an established fact that the Chinese
will engage in any occupation in which
there is a possibility Of realizing the most
insignificant profit, however many and
great the obstacles may be. Heretofore
the Chinese have confined themselves al
together to placer mining; but now they
have the quartz mania. For several weeks
a number of Cinnamon have been pros
pecting in the hills west Of Carson, for
quartz, but with what success We have
been unable to learn. We are also inform
ed that there is q Chinese chemist in China
town who makes assays OF their samples
of rock. Whether the correctness OF his
ASSAYS can be relied upon it is difficult to
say; but who ever heard Of q Monaghan as
saver in this country before? In an inter
view with the Appeal reporter this China
man stated that he came by his knowledge
of assaying in the Office Of the late Conrad
Wiegand at Virginia, where he had been
for many years employed. He never re-
ceived any instructions from the attaches
of that establishment but familiarized him
self with the process as much as possible
by the closest observation. He does not
claim only to be able to make ore assays,
but says that he can also determine the
ineness of bullion. Upon further inquiry
he remarked that he receives ore samples
from Chinese all over the State. These
prospectors are being encouraged by veal
thy Chinese companies in San Francisco,
who will devote a part Of their unlimited
means to the development Of any good
property that their countrymen may STUN
Bile across. This further demonstrates the
fact that the Chinese are bound to engage
in every industry o engaged in by u
people. But this does not benefit US. for
every ounce of gold or silver they extract
from our soil ia shipped to China.
