Abide with Me,

Abide with me-: far darkly looms the futures
mystic way,
My s.raning eyes yet fail to catch the glow
Of coming day,
Still in the gloom NIL fears give way-nll shad-

A thrill Of peace illuminates thou abide

Abide with me- while morn is fresh, e'cr
mondays scorching heat,
With lash OF fire, lays bursting blooms In

Abide with me- when all seems lost-when
all the melody
or life ia chokei-yet still I'll sing--if thou
abide with me
When softly creeps the dropping sun adown
the western skies,
When from the glorles, speeding swift, the
golden sunbeam flies,
And when the close Of day Is near, aud blind

"Eunice," he said, gently, "your
words encourage me still moro in the
mission upon which l came. l have
bought an old manor house on the
Androscoggin River, with farm and
plenty of green trees. Will you go
thitber with me Eunice, and be the
Eve to my little Paradisep Will you
marry n man who, although he is close
on forty, is still young at heart, and
who will try his best to make you
happy"
And without shade of coguctry or
n particle of hesitation, Eunice joy
fully answered.:
"Yesi"
"My own sweet girl |" ho exclaimed,
drawing her close to him. "You arc
quite sure that you can learn TO love
me2"
'T-I don't knowi' murmured
Eunice. "But I think-nay, l am
certain-tb / love you nowi"
At that very moment the door
opened with long, creaking groau,
and in tripped Aunt Lobelia, with her
newest front of curls and her Sunday
smiles.
She started back with an exclama-
tion.
"Eh !" said she, in some embarrass-
ment
'Do not be alarmed, Miss Lobelia,"
said Mr.. Benedict, resolutely retaining
the hand that Eunice would fain have
drawn away. "This young lady has
promised to be my wife, and when you
go to Vermont she will accompany me
to Wallace Manor House, on the shores
of the Androscoggin river"
81 hope you won't be vexed, Aunt
Lobelia," said Eunice, half expecting
to be scolded, as of yore.
The fortitude of woman is proven
bal, and although the report of n
cannon could not have electrified Miss
Lob,lia Lynn any more than did this
occurrence, she rallied promptly.
'I-Tm sure 1 congratulate you,"
said she, with little gasp.
The house was let that afternoon to
u widow who wanted to take a few gen.
tlemen boarders.
Eunice was married the next week
aud went to Wallace Manor House--a
superb old stone mansion, which
seemed like palace to her unsophis-
ticated eyes
And Aunt Lobelia sorrowfully took
her way to Vermont
'I'm afraid I've mismanaged mat
ters, said she. 'If I'd sent Euuice
to Cousin Peters at once, perhaps Mr..
Benedict would have proposed to
mel"
And even this dubious "perhaps,"
was comfort to poor Aunt Lobelia. -

Roanoke, Va, to work In the mines, upon

be peaceful, but to hold out for an adj

laws OF the state. Morgan, the manager

tect all the men who wished to work, and
that many had come to him singly and
asked for work He said his company
would go to work at all hazards.
Governor McCorkle's private secretary,
Colonel White, then made a statement.
He asked the men to remain peaceable, to
make no threats and to let anyone who
wished to go to work. Twelve hundred
hands were raised In response to a request
for a promise to keep peace.
There was to have been o submission Of
terms for settlement by Webb and the
operators last night in West Virginia, but
when Lawiess announced that he was for
an advance 1t was declared off. The ope-
rators were willing to hear the terms re-
