''Good morning, Nortbcut; how d'you
doY"
Northcut responded dryly.
~ am not well at all, thank YOU
How is II with you, RileyY"
Somewhat that way with me, North

Said Riley; "for l sat
Up all last night could not sleep
Was so concerned for Chat.

"Would not tell Laura this
He's either got in Wolf Ravlne.
Or else In spooks Preciplce."
Then Mr.. Riley went on in,
And stepped upon the floor,
And, with his left hand fist, he gave
A rap upon the door.
"Good morning Laura-looking well.
I'm just from Brother Miley;
For we are both greatly concerned
For Chat" said Mr.. Riley,
you need not fear" Riley went on
In earnest tones, "for Chat;
l think he'll come out safe enough,
came to tell you that.
- 'Tis true the Hollow's dangerous;
All this of course you know;
In portions Of 1t no one man,
Though brave, would care to go.
'Last night, you know, was very dark;
| Suspect he lost the route,
As many other men have done,
And could not make 1t out.
AS soon as day would dawn, you
| know,
And he could see to follow
The road that leads from Bears Retreat,
He'd soon leave Panther Hollow
Thanks for your Kindness" Laura
said;
Esteem it very highly;
fear tho il is worse than that
Ay, far worse, Mr.. Riley,
"Of course we don't know" he return
ed,
Chat may have gone between
Hobgoblin Cave and Spectres Roost
| And into Wolf Rayine.
"And yet, he may get safely OUT
Still went on Mr.. Riley,
II 'blieve that things are foreordained.
And SO does Brother Miley.
i.Suppose he does fail in with wolves
Wildcats and panthers toos
1.-THE One who saved Shadrach Of old,
Can bring Chat safely through"
lRiley was interrupted here;
For, tripping like fairie,
A sweet young girl came to the door,
And lightly tapped. Twas Carrie,
I'm glad 10 see you look so we'll
What gentleman is this
Said Carrie, as she walked on In,
And gave Laura Il kiss.
That's good" unused Riley to himself
"I'd like that any day;
! wonder why il was Northcut
Did not do me that way"
Excuse me for my thoughtlessness,
Now this is Mr.. Riley,
Miss Carrie Lee--I tho't you'd met
He come rom Brother Miley.

CHAPTER M.


The poets, painters, sages, bards
Have always chose 10 dwell
Upon the heav'n-born theme of love,
And OF it's beauties tell.
When Adam first bebeld the form
OF Eve, that she was fair,
And she, in turn smiled back at him;
Twas settled, then and there.
And so it is, and SO twill be-
Foretaste OF bliss above
The one great conquerer OF hearts
The mystic power Of love.
Though pessimists may ridicule;
Old bachelors may frown;
And maidens of uncertain age
May doubt-but twill not down.
And Just so long as man shall live;
So long as time shall last,
The cord Of love, unbreaAable,
Will bind hearts firm and fast,
The secret OF all happiness;
The banisher OF strife;
lUuswerving in its fervency-
1t comes but once in life.
A wretch is he who but deceives-
Who falsely acts his part
The same Is che whose fickleness
Rends some fond, and manly heart!
As Laura, pale, yet beautiful,
Sat, pondring DER and DER,
A "sympathizing' neighbor came
And rapid upon the door.
The night had passd and morning
dawnd;
Twas Wednesday now no more;
The business worlds rush, push ano
stir
Went on, just as before.
With those of whom we have to write,
Hover twas different;
Work seem'd suspended, business
s,opp'd-
Postponed, with one consent.
"Good morning, Northcut,r Laura said
lie how'd and raised his hat
"How are you, Laura" he replied;
Heard any news from Chat :"
"No. Mr.. Northcat," she replied;
| mo news yet-not a word"
swell Laura" Northcut then return'd
I'll tell you what I've heard
.Oh, have you any news from Chat
oh, tell lido - she said:
"Ssy did he fall among the wolvess
II rs he alive or-dead ?"
Poor Laura scarce could speak the wpr'
Il O'ercome now by her fears,
She bowed her head upon her hands,
And sought relief In tears.
l"Alive, 1 s'pose, Northcut replied
II His voice " uld somewhat CULVER
"For he, last night at ten O'Clock,
Was seen TO cross the river.
l"A gentleman who lives down there"
; Northcut went on says that
A man and woman went across
lie swears the man was Chat"
al don't believe word Of it,"
Cried I.aura-''tell you that
What! Run of with another girlr
know II was not Chat
And why did you come here. Ncrtheu
To bring such news as that?
IT'S false-'tis not his nature sir
Twas not my poor, lost Chat Z"
Her eyes were sparkling as she closed
She rose. picked up broom,
: And Northcut, taking to his heels,
Went flying from the room
} AS Northcut passed on by the gate
He stepp'd out very slyly-
Another man came walking In;
This time twas Mr.. hilsy.

The Louisville Times says |:

Judge w. II. Gardner, the State h.
spector and examiner, is in the city
to-day, en- route to spend Sunday q
his home At Elizabethtovn. HsFsf'
appointed By Gov. Brown four year
ago. and his duty is to examine close
ly the Auditors office, as well a I'll
other public offices in Kentucky.
A reporter for the Times sought
Judge Gardner and asked what there
was in the charges made against the
Auditors Office, in which it lie alleged
there is Encouragement and necess-
ity for making change in order that
the books may be opened to the pub
lie.
The reply was as follows:
"The business methods Of the Audi
tors Office are too we'll known TO re-
quire denial Of such charges. They
are unworthy of notice and are manu-
featured and circulated for campaign
purposes only. The records Of this
office have not been closed to the pub
lie, to my personal knowledge since !
have been Inspector, and If q change
should be made, which co not think
the people have any idea Of making,
take my word for it, the Republicans
will not find crookedness or fraud
in that Office"
"How do you know this, Judge, in
view Of the fact that difference Il
known 10 exist between the Governor
and Auditor, and it is supposed BY
some that access to the Auditors book
would be denied you"
