Charlottc's intimacy was not un-
known to the president but this
astounded him
1T is impossible" he said, II don't
see how you can ask it, how you can
think of IT,
Would you not do much to bring
to you one you loved3' she asked,
boldly.
A peculiar light came into the
gray eyes behind the steel-bowed
/ spectacles
Yes.

Anything.
Would you give professorship2'
/ The peculiar light increased. 1t

"Yes
"Wlll you give me this professor
snip, if bring TO you one you love2"
The gray eyes were now fairly
aflame. She was understood. He
sprang to his feet. Age seemed TIC fall
from him like a scale.
Girl, what do you means" he shout
ed.
''That she loved you all the time. "
There was a base ball match on the
college grounds, but it was not the
topic of the afternoon. A report that
Brent Seymour had been appointed to
1 the chair OF astronomy had sent half
the college to his little house to CON
graduate him They could not begin
to get inside, so he stood ont in the
yard aud shook hands with them one
| by one.
In the early evening a passing stu
dent saw an unusual visitor go up the
path to the Merdon mansion. It was
the gray-haired president. Mrs Mer-
don opened the door herself, and the
student couldn't help hearing, in tones
that he will never forget, two ex-
CARNATIONS, Adder Frank and
the door closed
When Seymour and Charlotte came
in from their evening walk they
heard voices in the sitting room, and
Seymour was speechless with
astonishment as he recognized the
presidents voice saying Il am glad
that you rejected me once, for my JOY
is made wonderful by years of dark
ness
Catching her lovers hand Charlotte
stepped with him into the room.
Mother, - she said, IF you haven't
got too much happiness already, y
looking at the venerable man who did,
not release the hand .e was holding
remember you promised to be
happy forever if | should marry the
man who will fill my fathers chair.
Let me present him.
My host ceased. His story was evil
dent y done, and as he drew back
from the table he said, The only
thing fictitious about it is the name |

tell her mother of the visit she made
to her chamber when she was asleep
at her writing desk2"

the arrival here this morning OF a number
OF the garrison who had protested against

tinually arriving and present q woeful ap.
pearance. Many have been without food
since Wednesday evening. In an inter.
view with an escaped officer he expressed
the belief that Notwithstanding the strong
force OF rebels besieging Tokar the garrison
could have held out fifteen days longer.
But learning that the enemy was MESSING
troops for n determined attack, the snort
supply OF ammunition remaining caused a
feeling OF discomfort and dismay among the
garrison which 1t was impossible for tn 0
officers to dispel, ana they finally agreed to
hold u party with the besieging army for
the purpose Of making terms by which
Tokar should be surrendered on condition
that the lives Of the garrison should be

BUFFALO, August 2S.-Jewett's stove

employing over 1000 men. The proprie
tors are bitter fighters of the convic1
contract labor system, but they will not
have a union man on their premises
A nickel plating school is in operation
in the Erie county penitentiary Some
years ago nickel platter, with patent
system of his own, came to Buffalo and
got employment in the works of Pratt &
Letchworth, who have the contract for
prison labor in the Erie county peniten-
tiary. He was paid five dollars per day
for the use of his patent, and did excel
lent work. After he had been there
awhile it was learned that he had "done
time" at Auburn for crime committed
while drunk, and it is certain, while
there is no evidence that he was entrap-
ped into drunkenness anew when he was
trying to lead sober and honest life, he
did begin drinking hard, and finally was
arrested at the instance of his employers,
charged with stealing silver plates. He
was given three years in the peniten-
tiary, and Immediately Pratt & Letch-
worth moved their entire nickel plating
plant to the. penitentiary and placed this
convict at the head of it. His work now
costs the firm fifty cents per day as
against five dollars when he was free
man, and he has convict apprentices
under him learning his process. It is
safely to be ASSUMED that these appren-
tices, when they become expert, will
never be allowed to remain free very
long, after their terms are served.
The District Assembly will hold its
summer festival on Sunday next at
