We descended the stairway, and
found the cellar bare and empty. l
peered into every dark nook and cor
ner, but there was nothing which could
have caused the noise.
Nothing to be seen here, Sarah," I
said. Maybe we can find something
of interest in the old storeroom."
My grandfather, in his latter days,
had kept the village store and post
Office.
The house was built on the side of a
small hill, so that it was three stories
high on the street side and two in the
rear.
The cellar was divided into two apart
ments by thick wall of stone. One
apartment was used for the house sup
plies. The other section was in turn
divided in two, the front facing on the
street serving as the store and post
office, the rear, a deep, cavernous, I'M
derground room, having been used for
the storage of barrels of vinegar, mo-
lasses, tobacco and dried fruit.
We descended the open stairway lead
ing down to the storeroom from the
main hall The door was at the bot

locked. Upon closer examination, dis
covered that it had only become tightly
jammed by a slight settling of the sur
rounding timbers. A. few vigorous kicks
soon caused it to open, and we stepped
down into the room.
The shutters to the windows were

| leading to the street a small transOm.
Through the dust and moisture-be-
grimed glass a few rays of light pene-
trated, producing a twilight gloom in
the apartment, but not so deep that we
were unable to see.
One of the old counters still remained,
and scattered over the floor were a
few empty boxes and barrels. Thought
of the white-haired old man whose form
had been so Familiarity associated with
the room, and I glanced over to the
corner with a fancy that he was here
still, seated behind the desk.

There was none now. The wall of solid

GREAT ACTIVITY
At the Watervliet ArsenaI-Entire Force
Working NIGHT and DaY.

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 2s.-The great
est activity known since the late re-
bellion is now witnessed at the Water
vliet arsenal and tho entire force is
working night and day.
On Friday night an order was re-
ceived for the immediate shipment of
two car loads of 12-inch projectiles for
Fort Hamilton with the greatest pos
sible haste. The projectiles were boxed
for shipment and Saturday afternoon
they were dispatched to Fort Hamil-
ton. Orders have also been received
for the shipment of all projectiles now
on hand to the several forts about New
York and to forward all completed guns
as speedily as possible to the proving
grounds at Sandy Hook.
Such an order has not been received
at Watervliet since the close of the
war. 1t is expected that at least six
carloads of projectiles will be shipped
durin g the present week.

KING GEORGE,

ATHENS, Feb. 2S.-There is a great
patriotic outburst throughout the
country over the escape of King George
from assassination Saturday, with
thanksgiving service everywh ere and
demonstrations of every kind. Praise
for the kings GOODNESS and bravery in
protecting his daughter, the Princess
Maria, is on every lip.
All the members of the royal family,
the ministers and the entire diplo-
matte corps attended the tedum at the
cathedral Sunday, after which an i'm
mense crowd went to the palace and
gave King George an ovation.
His majesty has received kilograms
of congratulation from all the sove-
reigns of Europe. The press, even the
papers opposed to the royal family, is
unanimous in its expressions of indig-
nation.
There is no trace of the miscreantS,
though several arrests have been made
with the object of obtaining informa-
ton. The incapacity of the police is

Oh, bless the glad suns warmth and light!
Away, my love, We'll wander,
To where the larch shines green and bright
Against the dim wood yonder.
The young shoots sprout so fast to-day,
%he old oak leaves are falling,
And from the coppice far away
1 hear the cuckoo calling.
Hark! there among the high elm trees
The thrush sings where he settles;
And see. below, anemones
Put forth their blushing petals.

Affects young mans fancy?
And so my heart turns, while sing,
To love and you, my Nancy.
Each step new charms does nature add.
New beauties still discovers,
To make this old world young and glad
For us, young, happy lovers.
Ours is the joy the lark feels there
Tuning his song to madness
THANK God that we are young, who share
And feel the young years gladness"

And be they few or plenty,
Yet, sweetheart, We'll forget to-day
We have been wed for twenty!
