And then Jack dashed into the wa

walked back to shore.

yelled Harry.

Harry walked to shore. What a

Anyhow, he returned to the city

REARING THE CROSS.


The heavier cross, the nearer heaven;
No cross without, no God within;
Death, judgement, from the heart are
driyen,
Amid the worlds false glare and din.
@. happy he, with all his loss,
wi,om God hath set beneath the cross
The heavier cross, the better Christian;
This is the touchstone God applies
How msnysa garden would lie wasting,
rnwet by showers from weeping eyes
The gold by fire is purified,
The Christian is by trouble tried.
The heavier cross, the stronger faith;
The loaded palm strikes deeper root;
The wine juice sweotly issaeth
When man have pressed the clustering
fruit,
And courage grows when dangers
come,
Like peals beneath the salt sea foam.
The heavier cross, the heartier PRAYER
The bruised herbs most fragrant are;
If wind and sky we're always far
The sailor would not watch the star,
And David's psalm had ne'er been sung,
If grief his heart had never wrung.
The heavier cross, the more aspiring,
From vales we climb the mountains
crest;
The pilgrim of the desert, firing,
Longs for The Canaan of his rest.
The dove has here no rest in sight,
And to the ark she wings her flight.
The heavier cross, the easier dying;
Death is fsiendlier face to see,
To life's decay one bids defying,
From life's distress one then Stree.
The cross subllmely lifts our faith,
To Him who triumphed over death.
Thou Crucifled the cross carry,
The longer may it dearer be,
And lest faint while here 1-tarry,
ImplAnt thou such heart In me,
That faIth hope, love, may flourish there,
Till for my cross the crown l wear

Tho Romance of Mr.. Stephens
. Life

In one Of the carly years Of the '40s
Mr.. Stephens then young man, paid
. visit to the home Of Mr.. Darden, in
Warren county. There he met a
haired, blue-eyed girl Of sixteen,
beautiful in face and lovely in charac-
Ter; piq q,aut, witty and gifted with a
mind rarely cultivated. An attachment
grew up, which for years did not pass
the formal bound of friendship, but
which was secrediy cherished by both.
The boy lover was poor in the world s
goods; fragile in frame, aud haIrassed
by sickness, he did not dare to aspire
60 the hand of one whom he had learn
ed to love and yet forebore to claim
With wOnanly devotion the yolng girl
read tle secret in the young man g eyes
aid tr1c to der heaSt she could only
wait and love.
One eveulng in 1849 party was
gisen at the residence of .Mr Little,
in CrAHfordville. Taers the two met
once more; there they enjoyed that
sweet communion born of perfect trust;
and there NJ stephens found cour-
age ttspeak the words which for wears
had fought far expression, u Iii a, last
he could no longer contain them.
"Are you sure hat there ii,es none

the maiden timidly, haif-shrinkiug vet
only too Happy to f4el that she was
avOred in his eyes.
"in the whole universe there exists
not another - said he, passionately.
Thus their troth was plighted the
day was set for their marriage aud all
seemed auspicious for the lovers. But
clouds low cred over their hopes mat
ters of private nature, which il is not
within the domain of the public to know
lntervened and deferred the fruition Of
their hope. The one became immera-
ed IN politics, and rocked with physi-
eel ills hesitated to enter q state where
he feared the happiness of the other
mleht DO marred. The lady found her
DUTY by the side of an invalid mother
Who long fingered With a continuing
disease. Thus the years few by; but
the plighted troth was kept. Mr..
Stephens never addressed ano,hsr, and
Kept the image Of the fair young girl in
his heart. The lady was the recipient
OF admiration from many, but turned a
deaf ear.
They have often met since, and
while the idea of marriage was aban !.
donsd, they felt a sweet pleasure in
each others society. But two weeks
ago the lady was at the mansion, and
on tas'ng'lcave Of her old friend one
OF the chairs tripped up, an unfavots-
Ole sign, as the Governor remarked at
the time. The lady has for years been

II. C. Burchard, Director of the Y.
S. Mint, has been interviewed on the
trade dollar question. He said he
should recommend TO Congress the
repeal Of the act authorizing its com
aoe. but as none of the coins have
been struck off at the Mint for years,
the act is dead letter on the statute
books. He estimates that at the time
the trade dollar was demonetlzed IN
1876. there were about two millions
of the coins in the country, represen-
ting an excess of coinage over export
alton; but at present there are proba-
blv six or seven millions of them,
mostly in the manufacturing regions
of Pennsylvania and in New York
city. They generally find their way
to the pockets OF the working men;
from them to retail dealers, who dis
pose of them to spectators at dis
count. The intrinsic value OF the
trade dollar at the present price OF
silver is 85I cents, and though the
Government is under no legal obliga-
ton to redeem them, Director Bur-
chard thinks it would be but just tc
permit them to be sent to the Mint
and be exchanged for other silver
coins.
The trade dollar, as is well known
on this coast, IL not elsewhere, was
coined for the purpose Of supplantine
Mexican dollars in the Chinese trade
and was not designed for circulation
in the United States. Itcontains so!
grains more of silver than two hal
dollars, and y grains more than the
standard dollar.

Settling a Suit.

IL is understood that the leading stock
holders OF the National Express and Trans
portation Company in Virginia and Mary
land are preparing to take advantage OF
the consent decree recently entered in the
Chancery Court OF the city OF Richmond.
bv which the creditors agreed that all per-
sons liable upon subscriptions to the capi-
tai stock OF the company for the payment
of its debts shall be permitted TO settle in
full with the trustee for the creditors by
the payment OF % per cent. OF the amount
of the subscription, instead OF 30 per cent.
levied by Judge Fitzhugh. The decree
provides that this may be done within six
months, but that after thirty days interest
must be paid on the % per cent, and also
all costs OF such suits as may be brought
10 recover the 80 per cent. assessment.
The compromise Is thought to ne ad-
yantageous on both sides, as 1t Is expected
that the creditors will realize great part
of their money at once, and sooner than by
suits against the several stockholders, aud
the stockholders will obtain release from
all liability upon reasonable terms accepta-
BILE to themselves. The amount OF the In

The lovers Of baseball gathered in force
at the Virginia Baseball Company's
grounds yesterday afternoon, notwith-
standing the threatening weather, to wit
ness the second meeting between the st.
Louis and Virginia Clubs. In some re-
spects the game was IN improvement on
that Of Tuesday, and but for the rain
(which set in shortly after play was
commenced and continued the greater part
OF the time) would have been tolerably in
teresting. The feature Of the evening was
the powerful batting OF the st. Louis. Both
Ferguson and Nash pitched for the home
team, but neither were able to hold the yisi-
tors in check. Base-hits seemed TO he the
order Of the day, and during the latter part
Of the game followed each other i'm bewil-
dering succession. The Virginias, as on the
day before. with probably one or two eX-
ceptions. showed up badly at the bat. Their
fielding was tolerably good. but the catch
ing OF Beach was Indifferent. Mulane.
McGinniss, and Sullivan each pitched for
the visitors. The former is considered the
most effective pitcher OF the three, ana has
the reputation OF being one OF the most
skilful in the business.

inc, where a large number Of bags filed
with paper were stored. As soon as the
alarm was turned in the Fire Department

Law in turning in the alarm the fire had
made great headway, and it was impossi-

building No. 2OO3 Main street, occupied by
John Kelly, fced-dealer, took fire and was
nearly destroyed. Mr.. John Kelly had no
insurance on his stock. Mr.. Mike Kelly
