perhaps not" said Mrs. Hart as she
began to put on her bonnet and cloak.
She was. perhaps, the poorest person of
refinement and education in the town
and the most benevolent. She WAS q
widow, whose only dover were a boy of
12 and girl of 0 years. BY sewing al
most night and day she managed to keep
the wolf out of sight.
Accompanied by Robhy she went over
to Hunts TO see the hermit, and at once
knew t-zt nc as sick unto death. AS
the sled Which was to transport him to
Johnst0wn drew up at the door Mrs.
Hart touched the arm of Judge Russell,
who seemed to be clothed with more
authority Just then than any of the other
'promiESrt- citizens" who hovered about,
and said:
II will take care of Weaver if you win
send him to my house. He is very sick
man, already greatly exhausted by his
Journey down the mountain. The drive
to Johnstown might kill him."
"Really, Mrs. Hart, you're always do
ing too much for others. Young DR..
Clay was in here bit ago. and he said
the old fellow oughtn't to be moved SO
far. But you'd better think twice before
you take him. He'll be an awful
charge"
II know that" she answered.; "but
will take him and do the best / can foI
him." So the hermit was put upon the
slei and delivered at Mr.. Hart's like

Our readers viii he surprised and gracifed TO
learn that Mrs Caroline Hart was married night
before last 10 Mr. Vincent II. Weaver, Of New
York. The ceremony took place at the bride 5
home at O'Clock. The groons sister, Mrs C. T.
Stevenson, and her husband, also Of New YorE,
end two or three Of the brides closest friends
were the only guests
Mrs Hart now Mrs. Weaver. as everybody
knows is one OF the most highly respected ladies
of Hiilsforl Although far from rich. she has
been phiianthrupic TO an extraordinary degree.
Every one knows how Weaver. the hermit. fell
sick one day early In the winter when he came
into town 20 buy some supplies. and Mrs Hart had
him removed to her cottage TO prevent his being
taken to the county house at Johnstown. But not
until recently did any know that Herman
Weaver the hermit and Vincent H. Weaver the
celebrated author were one and the same.
1t has been generally believed that hermit
had been the victim of some cruelty at Cupid S
hands, and for this reason had deserted the so
ciety OF his fellow men, We learn from good
authority that this diagnosis was incorrect. He
lived In his mountain cabin because he could there
devote himself to the work of writing his books
without the risk of being lured away by any of
the Thousand diversions which tempt him from
his ton in the city. His character of semisavage
was assumed To protect him from iBtruders-
Mr.. Weaver really did not live in his mountain
lodge half the time he was supposed to. Often.
for months together. he would be absent mixing
with the wits and ltterateurs of the metropolis.
He has even been several times to Europe. while
the people OF nllsioru supposed MIN 10 Oe wlthln
his solitary cabin.
Eccentric he is, to be sure. For instance, we
have been told that before he spoke of marriage
to Mrs. Hart he put $4,000 in her nSsne in sub
stantial New York bank and settled handsome
sum upon each OF her two children. He wished
to make her independent before this question of
marriage was discussed, and he considered her
entitled to al be could do for her for having taken
him TO her home. thereby saving his life when he
was 90 deaths door.
This Is n true love match, without doubt Their

Mr. Weaver made final trip to his cabin on the
mountain the other day. and wrote across its door
I'm big letters 'It is not good for to be alone
Mr.. and Mrs. Weaver viii build splendid house
here for their summer home, but win spend their
winters in New York. They left yesterday to
finish the season there. We wish them every hap
piness under the sun.
This startling piece of news caused
many an eye to protrllde when it was
read. 81 always thought that Mrs. Hart

WOMAN AND HOME.

Reply to An Attack Upon Woman euf-
frage.
!: A correspondent of the Rural NeU
Iorker lately made an attack upon the
advocates of woman suffrage as de-
stroyers of the home. Margaret B.
Harvey writes to the same paper, in
answer:
sit is the woman suffragists who.
for forty years past. have worked to
protect the American home, as it has
never yet been protected. Little by
little unjust laws bearing upon women
have been repealed; little b. little more
opportunities for work and education
have been granted women; little by
little barbarous social customs have
been modified. 1t was woman suffrag-
lists who worked to raise fallen women
to provide honest work for poor
women to keep them from falling-to
give women their own earnings and
tho right to hold their own property
aud be guardians to their own chill
.dren.
@.From the Woman Suffrage Associa-
lions have grown the children's coun-
try weeks. the cooking schools. the
colleges for women. the kindergartens
asd Heterogeneous for the poor, the
Aygienic lectures for women. the
pamphlets ON enlightened motherhood,
moral education and proper modes of
dressing. the peace congresses. the pc
titions for police matrons. the appoint
ment of women physicians in hospitals
.sad asylumns for women. The latest
phase of woman suffrage is its identi-
ztication with woman's temperance
work and the movements in favor of
social purity. Woman suffragists are
always ready to lend a hand to help
aay good work.
Thanks to this blessed gospel OF
woman suffrage. the woman who once
would have been driven to a vicious
life can now earn respectable living;
and she can have home more artist
cally furnished. supplied with more
hygienic cooking. and better kept in
every way than her mothers was. She
is better educated. too. than her father
was; if she marries. she will know how
to rear her children. and if she does
not. she will be too busy to have time
to grow old-maidish.
''But suffragists are not content yet.
They know that their work can not be
fully done until women have the
ballot Then. and then only. can our
homes be safe-then. and then only,
can public morality flourish.
