Amos saw ut glance that tire inven. |

at once and went homeward.
Upon th1 following evening, when Mi |
nerva appeared at the window, he exhibited
the invention to her and explained its use

was soon ia active operation, and both
pronounced it q most wonderful success.

divide their hearts forever.
But Minerva had q mischievous brother,
who was net at all friendly to Amos. Ono
evening he discovered their means of So
cret communication, and no determined to
bring their Intercourse through that me-
dunn to a close.
Accordingly one night when, unknown
| to Amos, Minerva was absent from home,
her brother substituted himself at her
window. 1t was too dark for Amos to
recognize him; he had not the remotest
thought but that it was Minerva. After
several Intellectual efforts he succeeded in
tossing ono end of the telegraph in at
her window. The cylinder was seized
with avidity, and the following converse
ton was carried on:

worse than the accusation itself, had

The sorrow Of Sir Loghlen at Sgd

the misery which Frances was endur-

fatally crushing as seemed the evil
dence which bore against him whom
she so greatly loved, still had she, and
because she loved him, a firm faith in
his innocence; still had she confidence
that Sydney was, as from the first she

shocks Of earthquake on the days Of

shock was the severest ever expert

For three days after the eruption
the waters of the bay were hot, and
boiled around the spot where the wa.
terspout had occurred. Fishes were
killed by thousands, and reign Of
terror existed among the natives. The
western part of the island of Tuituila
is the most thickly populated, and the
report this district only. 1t is said
that there is possibility that some
of the natives who make their homes
in the mountains might have met
death, as a great volume of ashes fell
