like actions on a subject that any one
could see was deep, interesting and
amusing!
They looked SO lover-like that James
Grafton almost hesitated to approach
them. But Mrs. Cathcart espied him:
"Oh, MI. Grafton, what do you think
has happened?" she asked, laughing in
the brightest and most charming way
and looking very much excited. "Why
really we're all so delighted about it
why, Eunice's old sweetheart has
come back, and it was all a mistake,
and he's the finest fellow in the world,
and they're going to be married at
once. and they're as happy, as happy,
as happy"-and she looked at her hus-
band,and rapidly nodded her head up
and down-"as happy. very nearly, as
we are! What do you think of that, MI.
Grafton?"- Whitehall Review.

Charlotte, when she saw her lover
Borne before her on a shutter,
Like a well-conducted person,
Went on cutting bread and butter.

Other people said she went on living the
same simple, helpful, beautiful life that
she always had lived.
There was a difference to her in the
aspect of things, doubtless; but if there
were she never made others feel it.
But now then that broken romance was
all over. But there are some events
which never recede into the past; they
live forever in a perpetual now, although
n may agree with ones self to behave
as if they had never occurred.
Now, James Grafton had had q
broken romance of his own in early
life. Gentle Death had taken his ..Le-
nore," leaving a wound in his heart
which, although deep, hadno bitterness
in it. So it had healed very fairly; it
was Difference to Miss Bells feelings,
not his own, that had kept him silent
hitherto, for in truth he was very much
in love with her, and had been for some
time past. James Grafton had promised
to dine in Tulip-tree lane the day after
his sisters wedding. He read Lettie's
note over three times before he started.
'It's that likes that makes me hest
tate" he said to himself, as he began to
descend the hillside by a broad high
way. "Or perhaps, "he ventured to hope
presently, ''perhaps the like was only
Lettie's modest way of putting loves
Lettie was always SO modest. Yes, yes,
it may be so; but no! it won't do. I'm
a fool for thinking so. And yet-why
not?" And his thoughts required to
that other time when he had asked his
Lenore what he now wanted to ask
Eunice Bell.
That other time-ah!then he had been
Young, impetuous, madly in love. Then
he had had no need to ask himself ques-
| tons; then he had been only too sure.
Now, going down the hill to the house
where Eunice Bell lived, he was full OF
doubts and fears and hesitations. ''Yet
WHY not?' he asked himself, as he
turned the corner into Tulip-tree lane.
He had grown very fond of that lane.
AS he turned the well-known corner it
was to him as if he were in the presence
of a familiar friend and counselor; it
was as if he had asked-"Yet why
not?" to some one else than himself.
And eve1ything in the lane seemed to
hush his forebodings, and say with a
curious, all-pervading soothingness-
''Why doubt?'
Beyond the low hedges there were
miles and miles of smiling, undulatingg
English landscape, full of infinite calm
and g~entleness. How it happened l
can not say; but as James Grafton
walked sobarly through the lane, all
hesitation fed away, and his face grew
as restful as his heart had suddenly DE-
come. And was not that kindly face,
with its strange and winning touch Of
purity, one which a good woman could
hardly fail to love? The inevitable

Can't Cook as Mother Did.

How many young wife's heart is sad
dened and happiness scattered because she
can not "cook as mother did" 1t is strange,
sadly strange, and yet we all know il is true.
How many time has the tender hearted re-
porter felt his soul bursting with grief as he
told the narrowing storyof some poor suffering
woman, whose cheerful sunshine had turned
to dismal darkness just because she could
not cook as mother did" And how it de-
lights the heart OF the reporter when he
chances to hear of one devoted young wife
who is rescued from the gloomy fate of so
many, in a manner so simple and easy that
the only wonder is that all not saved.

promised to do everything in his power to
make her happy, but in an evil hour he made
the dangerous discovery that she could nor
"cook as mother did," He told her so, and
from that hour the life-light of happiness
began to die out in her once radiant eyes.
The bloom that put to shame the fancied
perfection of the rose departed from her
cheek, the voice that welcomed him to
happy heart and home grew silent as the
grave. and the young husband saw that
something must be done soon. He asked the
sorrowful wife why she was so sad, and she
told him because she could not cook as his
mother did" but if she had Royal Baking
Powder he could say no longer. Like
sensible fellow, he ordered a dozen boxes at
once, and now he says he is afraid that his
wife will raise the roof off the house some

FOUL PLAY FEARED.

Mysterious Disappearance of a Prominent
Man at Wheeling, w. Va.
WHEELING. w. Va Nov. 19.-For the last
twenty-four hours this city and immediate
vicinity has been greatly excited over the
mysterious disappearance of Major Samuel
B. McCulloch, Clerk of the Circuit Court, an
influential Republican politician, and prob.
ably the most popular and widely known
citizen of Ohio County, who has been miss
ing since Friday evening under circum-
stances which indicate that he has been
murdered. Major McCulloch was detained
in his office until $50 Friday evening, when
he started for the Elm Grove street.
car Office, intending to take the last
car for his suburban residence He
missed the car and started to walk
home over the Baltimore and Ohiotrack, and
since then all trace of him is lost. at noon
yesterday his family brought word of his dis
appearance, and from that hour searching
parties of police, lawyers, County and city
officials, and prominent and wealthy citizens
have ceaselessly secured the neighboring
country, but to no avail. He could not have
left the city through the regular outlets of
travel without being recognized, and as he
was not addicted to drink or other bad habits
his Official business and private affairs in
good order, and domestic relations oil the hap
piest character, the only plausible solution
of the matter is that he was murdered while
passing through tunnell enroute home and
his body sunk in the creek. The finding of
bloody clothing in that vicinity to night
bears out this superstition.
The County Commissioners will meet to-
morrow to take steps to have search prose-
cutod, and Nelson Lodge A. f and A, NJ, of
this city. of which the missing man was a
prominent member, will also take steps in
the interest of the brother Mason.

A VALUABLE "REMINISCENCES.

Hon. Chas. II. Mason, of Perry County,
Indiana, is one of the best writers in the
State He is Republican, but not bigoted,
blind or irrational Republican. Judge Mason
is not only a good writer-that is to say,
smooth, flicitous in expression-but he is a
thinker with remarkable power of analysis.
he investigates and measures propositions
and policies by standards which statesmen
recognize as constitutional. Judge Mason,
as the readers of the Sentinel know long
since took strong ground against Federal en-
croachment upon the rights of States, and he
established the correctness of his positions
by facts and arguments we'll calculated to
arrest the attention of thinking men
without regard to party affiliations. The
recent decision of the United States Supreme
Court has brought Judge Mason's views into
bold relief, as the following letter will show.
We reproduce it as also one of the articles to
which reference is made, believing the letter
and the article opportune ar well calcu-
lated to subserve valuable purpose. II
may be proper in this connection to state,
that while judge Mason is Republican, he
writes and thinks like Democrat upon such
matters we now lay before our readers.
The following is Judge Mason's communica-
ton:
