was not himself, but that Milt Spurlock
had usurped his place, and he awoke in
a great tremor.
Oh! how slowly the days and nights
wore away. They seemed to grow long
er and longer Poor Gabe!
And what Of the pretty bride-elect
during all these unhappy days?
For many weeks Mollie refused to be
comforted and was most miserable,
while her friends and neighbors, and
even her discarded lover, Milt Spurlock,
did all that they could to cheer her and
make her less fearful
At last there came grave rumors
of Gabe's trial and imprisonm ent. and
one day Milt Spurlock confirmed them,
after he came back from trip to the
valley country, whence he had gone to
sell various products of these hills,
such as medicinal banks and herbs.
While on this journey he had met
with some one who knew of Gabe's
trial and imprisonment, which was for
term Of ten long years, he said-only
think of 1.-THE very best part of ones
life to be spent within prison walls, for
when one came forth from ten long
years of confinement, there was little of
youth or hope left in ones bosom.
All this Milt Spurlock managed to
impress most deeply upon his eager
listener, and after this fresher grief
had worn away, he began to renew the
pledges of his own love and fidelity,
and though, at first, she turned deaf
ear to his pleadings, there came time
when she was less unwilling to listen
to his wooing, while gossips began to
wag their tongues and say that the once
Tilted lover would yet win the pretty
bride he had come so near losing a year
before.
So ran their tongues, and finally the
neighbors were once more hidden to
gather under Sam Taylor's roof to wit
ness the marriage of his daughter.
Again there was mirth and revelry
while the squeaky tones of old Luke's
fiddle and the sound Of many voices and
time-keeping feet went out into the
silence of the night
One might we'll have imagined that it
was the self-same period at which the
story opened-so similar was the scene,
and so nearly alike the company as on
the former occasion, and when, finally,
the bride and groom came forth from
an inner room and stood before the
home-spun-clad preacher, it was difficult
to realize that the groom of a year ago
was languishing behind relentless
prison walls, far from these wintry
hills and the fair tickle one who was
soon to be the bride of another. A
silence fell upon the company, the SIM
pie marriage service began, and the
couple clasped hands, yet ere the two
were made man and wife the outer door
suddenly swung open and o cold blast
blew into the room.
As the bleak night wind greeted them,
both looked up almost at the same mo-
ment, when suddenly the bride uttered
a loud cry, while the groom staggered
back. pale, with a great CONSERVATION.

Rules for Longevity.

DR.. Humphreys of Great Britain gives
his premises for longevity as follows:
First-The prime requisite is faculty
of age inherited in the blood. The
body must be wound up and sent into
the world with the initial force neces-
sary to carry on the living processes
through long period; that the several
organsbe so adjusted to one another as to
form we II balanced whole. and that the
functions be so tremendously performed
that there will be no cognizance of imper-
lection or ailment. Second The body
must be we'll developed, capable OF
much endurance and of quick and com.
plete restoration from fatigue; the
nervous system energetic, and the in.
tellectual powers correspondingly de-
veloped. Third-Owing to the inherent
good qualities of the nutritive pro.
cesses, degenerate change will be slow
to manifest itself if to the foregoing be
added ordinary opportunities of living
we'll under sanitary conditions, to-
gether with emperance in meat eating
and alcoholic beverages.

TROUBLESOME HANDS.
What to Do with Them on Importal
Social OceaRfOns.

What to Do with Them on Important
Social Occasions.
What to do with the hands, especially
on important social occasions, is with
many persons, even of cultured habits,
likes to appear awkward, and frequent
~ the very dread of doing so precipi-
tates the result that was feared. Quiet
self-possession, especially amid un-
wonted scenes, is the solution of all per-
picking matters of this sort; but I'M
fortunately the command to be self-pos-
sessed is much easier to give than to
obey. What to do with the hands,
therefore, is best solved by doing moth
ing with them. If no thought is given
them, they will naturally take care of
| themselves. in a manner that will at
tract no attention and give no mortitica-
ton to the possessor.' One thing, how
ever, should be early instilled into the
practice of children, as it is then most
easily made rule of conduct: keep
the hands at rest when there is nothing
for them properly to do. The practice
Of necessarily toying with whatever
w
annoying imaginable in that class of
habits which do not directly affront
other people; and is not by any means
confined to those who might be classed
as i'll bred.
An incident in point will illustrate
the practical phase Of this habit. The
writer once noticed clergyman whose
fingers were never at rest. No sooner
was his prayer begun than they began
their work. While the man of God
prayed long and earnestly, his busy
fingers explored every portion of the
external surface Of the reading desk
They found each nail that had been
used in the upholstering, dwelt upon
its head with gentle emphasis, as
though distinctly to indicate it to the
congregation who certainly followed
the preachers fingers much more gen.
orally than his prayer; every junction
of the plush was traced back and forth
as though to find possible entrance for
the persistent fingers ends; and when
finally small rent in the covering was
revealed, it seemed, from the fond per-
sistence with which the aperture was
fondled. coaxed together, drawn apart
and explored, that the object Of all the
research was at last realized. OF all
this ridiculous fumbling the perpetrator
was, of course. entirely oblivious-and
that was the worst phase of the matter;
the habit had become fixed, and is
doubtless lifelong possession--such
as it is.-GOod Housekeeping

low nest under the caves.
From the two small windows in the
cabins front the bright glare of gem
crous fire within shone forth, and now
and then, as the door opened, a broader
pathway of light streamed out across
the dreary waste of snow and made a
gigantic Jack-o-lantcrn amid the dense
shadows of the surrounding hills.

he COULD NOT TELL A LIE.

1t was the solemn poet man,
Full hagyard and forlorn,
That camc unto the editor
One summer sunny morn,
And placed within his jeweled hand,
That erstwhile in mood
OF loving kindness written had,
OF focman something good,
Some manuscript, and seating then
Himself in cushioned chair,
Spoke boldly out, first smoothing down
His tangled locks Of hair.
Il know full WELL" the poet said,
THAT oftentimes it is
The painful duty of your craft
To run their little sciSs-
Ors through tho thoughts Of other men
Which may not be expressed
Within Your cclumns-aS, perchance,
An antiQuated jest,
Or verses on an oil-lamp death
All these, know, must fall,
Beneath the awful ban that spreads
Above them like u pail.
But have here a little thing,
Quite touching in its way.
That tells OF ripping waters
And the smell of new mown hay:
The bashful maiden's witching smile;
The lowing of the kline;
The meadows, spanglcd DER with flowers
The sunset most divine,
Are pictured by the use
or softly sounding words,
And over all there comes The sweet
Low twittering of the birds"
Twas then up spoke the editor:
Your scheme is good" he said;
"On the ripping water racket
You are really quite ahead
But the spanylcd meadow business
And the blushing country maid
Have long since c0rywrited been,
And, therefore, I'm afraid
That your story will not answer;
But if you could only make
The maiden sweep the parlor,
II would simply take the cake"
The poet man was much downcast
The lISter left his eye:
He rose to go, and sadly said:

Gabe's best man, while chorus seemed
to be inquiring concerning the tardy
groom.
Links voice suddenly dropped to a
lower key, and some one, near the part
ly opened door, called out warningly to
Mollie's aunt: "Shet tn door! don't let
her hear"
Tho brides attentive ears, however,
had caught these words, and before
her aunt could obey them she had
pushed her aside and entered the larger
room.
At her coming sudden hush fell
upon the garrulous company-the dane
ers stood in little groups upon the floor
and even the fiddler stopped with a
wailing cry of his instrument.
What's tn matter?" cried Mollie,
looking anxiously from one to another.
"Where's Gabe?"
Instinctively the crowd fell back and

open door, and there, against the dark
background Of night, pale and thin and
wan, they saw the ghost-like figure OF
the man whose place Milt Spurlock now
occupied.
He looked unearthly and unreal in
the Pickering light which the fire and
the dim blaze of the tallow candles cast
on his pale face, while his eyes glowed
with fierce, wild glare, which the
witnesses of the scene never forgot, and
| oftimes spoke of afterward in awed
and impressive tones.
Before any one could stretch out q
hand or divine the purpose of this
strange apparition it had glided to
where Milt Spurlock covered in abject
terror.
Its arm raised swiftly and something
bright glittered for a moment, and
then was sheathed in the bridegroom's
bosom.
As he staggered back and fell, almost
without a groan, the CHASTITY figure
turned and silently vanished into the
darkness, and no one present that night
ever saw this strange counterpart of
Gabe Hardesty again.
There were strange rumors afterward
that the Governor, hearing the story of
Gabe's arrest on the eve of his mar
riage, and learning of his subsequent
good conduct in the prison, had par
doned him before the expiration of his
sentence, and that it was Gabe himself
| who had come back on this eventful
night and melted out such swift venge-
ance to his betrayer.
There were few, however. who did
not shake their heads incredulously at
these rumors, and say they knew a
thing of flesh and blood from one that
comes out Of the darkness and the grave.
for did not several, who were present at
the merry-making, stoutly aver tn at
they had even clutched at this vanish
ing figure, after the fatal deed was &C.
complished, and their fingers had closed
upon the thin air?-Henry Cleveland
