"MY DEAR MRS DURKIE" $50 it ran),-"I
hope you have not forgotten us or our promise
to write. 1 meant to have done so before, but
I thought you would be too disappointed to
hear that the pudding charm had in my case
failed, and produced nothing at all. And till
lately this seemed to be the truth. We got
home on the 29th of May, and just month
later my sister Aileen was married. She is set
tied now in her pretty new home, and is very
well and very happy, and hopes you got the
cards she sent out to you. Emmy, who, you
will like to hear, is quite strong again, spent
the Summer with me in Colorado, which is the
most beautiful country you can imagine, with
such mountains and park-like valleys and such
air as can not be described. Colorado, you
know, is State in the far West, almost as far
from New York as you are in the Isle of Wight.
Now we are come eastward again, and are stay
ing with Aieen for while, until-here comes
my news, and, as you will see, the pudding was
true prophet-untl [ am married, as / ex-
pect to be on the 10th of next month, to Mr..
Robert Ramsay, whom we met at Estes Park
last July. He lisa ranchman, that is, sort OF
sheep farmer, and am going back with him to
live in Colorado Our house will be pretty
rough for the first year or two; in fact, 1t is
sort of cabin, built entirely of wood and partly
of logs, with no paint or plaster, and suppose
would seem rather 'poverty-stricken' to some
people; but we hope to improve it in time, and
meanwhile we have beautiful hills to look at,
and splendid climate, which, together with
youth and fair prospects, make very pleasant
sort of poverty as | think. So you needn't be
at all sorry for me, Or regret the pudding, for
if / could put that thimble back again with
wish, assure you | wouldn't; and / am not
only contented but proud of the fate it has
brought me.
My sisters join me in kind regards, and l am,
dear Mrs. Durkie, Yours most cordially,

day, as it were, even less than ordinary

Dinner came up, and was eaten with an
accompaniment of chat which grew happier
now that the dreaded holiday was fairly
past. The whitecapped maid removed the
plates, and swept the last crumb from the
table.

that moment the door opened, and in came
Mrs. Durkie, her face bright with fire, her
eyes with triumph, and in her hands, raised

symmetrical pudding, surrounded with blaz-

WHAT"
"The ring, the sixpence, and the thimble,
ma'am. It's for luck, you understand. The
sixpence means money, you know; the one
of you that gets that in her slice is sure to
have some'at left her in the course of year

One of the ablest preachers in the Second
Advent denomination to-day, as well as the
last quarter century, is Elder Miles Grant Of
Massachusetts, who commenced series Of
meetings in this community last evening. IN
ion Hall, on Free street, the place of service.
was well filled with an interested audience,
who paid marked attention to the excellent
remarks of the earnest speaker. A large
chronological chart of the worlds history is
hung on the walls of the hall, and upon it FL
der Grant lectured last night. This map, up
on which the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy
is very accurately sketched is one of the larg-
est in existence, and is pronounced, for relia-
billy, to be without competitor. The even
ing talk was largely a general preface of those
to follow. A good spirit pervaded this OPEN
ing service, which is considered bright indi-
cation of success. Social services will occur
daily at 6 p. m. On Thursday and Saturday
evenings, at 7.30, lectures upon the chart will
be given, the remaining nights being devoted
to practical subjects. Elder Grant is a power
full expounder and ardent advocate of the doe
trine of Christian holiness, his views upon
this subject being very similar to those SO
pre- Valent in the Methodist church of late
years. His labors in this direction have been
richly blessed, multitudes being led to seek a
higher life through his fundamentally.

The Stoddard Lectura

Mr.. Stoddard's lecture of this evening is up
on French Castles and Their Memories. 2
pleasant fancies and of dark and sombre tales
OF horror and crime. Nowhere has life been
pleasanter, more elegant in manners, perhaps
happier, than in some Of the castles of France
and nowhere have there been enacted more
terrible scenes of bloodshed and horror than
when the red tide of revolution overwhelmed
these stately and historic buildings. Mr.
Stoddard's lecture is happy blending of the
romantic and the instructive, the thrilling
story being ever viviied and intensified by the
frequent and magnificent illustrations. Teach
ers in our public schools and their pupils
should be sure to hear the delightful and i'm.
pressive lessons of the lecture.

Baron Rudolph" is play of absorbing inter-
est. 1t in no wise resembles most of German

from time to time. There is none of the st

business in it, which has constituted the chief
stock in trade of most of the so-called German

On the contrary it has strong, consistent well
arranged plot which enchains the auditors at

curtain at the conclusion of the drama.

Mr.. Gladstone has made grant from the
crown of e150 to the most venerable actress
living Frances Maria Kelley, now in her esd
year. 1t is startling to remember that Miss
Kelly actually made her first appearance on
the boards of Drury Lane before the end of tho
last century, for it was in the December of
1893 that, as little creature 9 years old, she
took part in her Uncle Michael Kelly's operat-
ic spectacle of "Bluebeard. Curiously enough
upon the same occasion, Edmund Kean, who
was three years her senior, also first faced
London audience.

The Fairfield Journal says: Our lumbermen
have been busily engaged for some weeks past
in locating teams and getting ready for the
winters operations. Owing to the fire large
number of logs were left unmanufactured, and
these are now hauled up in huge piles upon
the banks of the river and mill-pond-some-
thing near 10,000, 900 being thus secured. But
notwithstanding this fact, the operations this
winter will be on fully as large scale as in
former years. So far as we Can. learn, no firm
here will reduce their operations. Messrs.
Lawrence, Phillips & Co., at Somerset Mills,
have about years stock of logs for their mill
at that place piled on the shore, but they will
cut about 100000 for their Pittston mill.
The total cut by lumbermen in this town, this
winter, will not fall far short of 30,000,000.
Labor is reported scarce and wages high.
With the opening of spring the mills will be
in good running order, and the outlook for a
brisk business another season is very eneour-
aging

Accident at saccarappa.

On Monday week, the little daughter of MI.
and Mrs. Charles M. Cloudman, aged IL
years, being left alone in the room few mo-
ments, went to the bureau drawer and took
therefrom her fathers razor, and as was sup
posed began to whittle. The mother, hearing
her cry, enteren the room, and found her with
one hand nearly severed from the wrist, and a
fearful cash across the back of the hand, open
ing two of the finger joints. DIR. Smith was
called, and after etherizing the little one
dressed the wounds, which, it is hoped, are
now doing we'll.
