It was not long ago reported that a
ben discovered under singular circumi
stances on the north side Of Stone
Mountain, six miles from the mouth of
Stony Creek. In Scott County, Vir-
ginia. As the story goes, 1t appears
that one of the old settlers first discov-
cred 1t about 1850, but owing to the
fact that the land on which 1t was situ-
ated could not be bought he refused to
tell its whereabouts and would only
take ice from 1t in case Of sickness. He
died without revealing the secret to
even his own family. and but for q
party of seng diggers entering the re-
gjon It might have remained q secret
for generations, as 1t is situated in IN
unfreQuented part of the mountain.
The ice was only protected from the
rays of the sun by thick growth Of
moss, resembling that seen dangling
from the oaks of Louisiana and Texas.
Its formation was after the fashion of
a coal vein, being n few inches thick In
some places, while several feet in
others. The formation indicates that
It had been spread over the surface in
@ LIQUID state and then CONCEALED. By
what process 1t freezes or was frozen
Is n matter Of conjecture. Some think
that It was formed in the winter and
had been protected since by a dense
growth Of moss which covers it, while
the more plausible theory Is that be-
meath the bed Is situated a great ma.
tural laboratory whose function Is
formation of ether, and the process OF
freezing goes steadily on through the
heat as well as the cold. The bed covers
one acre.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Bellenden's silence, his abstraction,

And never taste the rue.
To find the sunshine ever fair,
The sky a tender blue,
And sich with joy the balmy air,
And love forever true.

A shelter warm for you,
And May suns drink the April tears
While yet the skies are blue.

Softly.
Goodnight" she replied.
Still he seemed dissatisfied. liz
glanced toward the street-all was dark
and quiet Mrs. Black was visibly en-
barrassed. He gave another glance
around the parlor. There also perfect
quiet reigned: 1t was impossible that
any one could be spying. Mr. Coates
hesitated no longer. but. yielding to his
sudden impulse. he clasped the widow
round the waist and kissed her-upon
the nose! and, setting her free, scam
pered down the garden path with all
the ardor of a schoolboy.

few minutes later, as he bounced into
the kitchen, having run all -e ~ay.

Not until they were married and on
their way to Switzerland for the honey
moon did Mr.. Coates muster up cour-
age to ask for Information regarding
the manner of his proposal At that mo-

claimed the brides attention, and Mr..
Coates was too happy to press the
