â- *ih-' A MISaiNG PRETTY GIEL. 4 Laura Puy, a Former Hamiltonian, Mys- terionsly Disappears, B«r Mother Feara She In Worse than Dead â€"She Started for Church, bat Never <;ot Thvre. The Boffalo Newx of last {Thursday) night cuys : Detectives have been workiog for several days on a stran^^e disappearance in thiH city. It is the story of a girl, pretty, vivacious, intcrestintj, who suddenly dropped out of the routine of her daily life and left not a trace to show whether she is living or dead. Laura I'ny, two weeks ago last Sunday, started from her parents' home at 100 8wau street to no to Hev. P. G. Cook's oharch in the Fitch Institute, a block away. •' Now, Laura," said her mother, at parting, " be sure to hurry back from church : won't you?" " Yes, mamma, I will," replied the girl, and that was the last the mother saw of her child. Laura is a naedium blonde, with luxuriant, curling, brown hair, which that day was cla8pe<i behind with a silver pin holding a white stone shaped like a rose. She has a good complexion, gray eyes, heavy dark brows and lashes, a small, straight Bnso. medium-sized mouth and full lips. She is straight, well-grown for her age and well-forraed. She wore a blue polkadot print dress, blue jersey cap Utting tightly to the head, and a sash of the same material as the dress. A brown jacket, No. Hj button shoes, black stockings and black mitts completed her costume. Her dress reached scarcely to her shoe tops. She was 1:1 last birthday, but looks older. The miesing girl's dress and appearance are de- Hcribed thus carefully so that if she has been seen her parents may be communi- cated with. When Laura did not return after church time her friends became uneasy and one of her younger sisters was sent to the roomsof Mrs. Westfall, on Seneca street, over Tif- fany's picture store, to in()nire if she had been there. Mrs. Westfall was Laura's most intimate friend. She was not at home, said her husband, a driver for Chas. W. Miller, and he said Laura had not been there. His little daughter corrected him, however, and said Laura had been there that morning. Mr. Westfall said he had got up late and did not know of her being at the house. At I. l.'i Miss Grein, Laura's Sunday school teacher, called at Mrs. Puy's house to know why Laura had not been to school. On the previous Friday she had promised to be there. Then another messenger was sent to Westfall's. Mr. Westfall said that his wife was still absent, that she had gone to his cousins and that he bad not seen Laura. Mr. Fuy afterward called and -was tuld by Mrs. Westfall that Laura was there about lU o'clock on Sunday morning and had stayed but a few minutes. Mrs. West- fall was emphatic in saying she had not seen her since and that she knew nothing of the girl's whereabouts. Uther friends in the city were sent to, but not a trace could be found. The last known of her was when after coming out of MrH. West- fall's Laura stopped for a moment to speak to Mrs. Bryan, who lives near by. Mrs. I'uy had sent Laura to a photographer's on Scaeoa street for some pictures about 10 that morning, and it was during this walk that she must have gone to Mrs. West- fall's. The ne.\t day detectives were put on the case, but so far have not found the girl. " Laura was an affectionate child, " said Mrs. Puy to a SfWK rf|>orter, " and I do not know of any reason why she should go away. I believe she in secreted somewhere in the tity. I am sure Mrs. Westfall knows where she is. She has been Laura's evil genius. " Mrs. I'uy has tlve children, all girls. Her husband works for the Benedict Paper Company. The family came here from Hamilton, Ou^. ten months ago. The eldest daughter, .\ida, has a good position as book-keeper with a Hamilton tirm. She has come on to BulTalo to help her parents find her missing sister. " We knew the Westfalls in Hamilton," went on Mrs. Puy, " and Laura and Mrs. Wi'Btlall were always great chums. They came here two years before we did and she persuaded us to let Laura go to live with her on Chestnut street. I believe now that Mrs. Westfall taught Laura lo sot my authority at defiance. I always had some misgivings, and when I went to take Laura home to send hor to school Mrs. Westfall objected and Laura deliberately refused to come. I boxed Laura's ears, and since then Mrs. Westfall has said that I was a cruel mother, andthatshehad advisedLaura to run away from me. I have been told since my child's disappearance that Mrs. Westfall on that Sunday was not at the pla e where she told her husband she was going. Mrs. Lann, an aunt of West- fall's, went to call on her that Sunday and Westfall said she was at his cousins. ' I will go there,' said Mrs. Lann, but re turned shortly and reported that Mrs. Westfall had not been there. When her husband asked hor about it that night she said she had gone there, found the cousin away and bad Hpent the day with a dress- maker friend at 7t Seneca street. " We have found that the cousin was at home all day, that Mrs. Westfall did not call and, what's more, we can't find that she spent the day at 74 Seneca street. It was during this time, when nobody knows where Mrs. Westfall was, that my child disappeared. If »ho is not trying to hide something, why coos she make such state- ments ?" Mrs. Puy further stated that she had made innuirie'. of old neighbors of the Westfalls or Chestnut street, and gave some of their statements, adding that she feared hor child had been led wrong. "My poor child I" she exclaimed, " 1 am almost afraid to Hnd her alive. ' "Do you know the whereabouts of Laura Puy?" the Sfwt man asked Mrs. Westfall. " I do not." " When did you see her last ?" " Two weeks ago last Sunday morning. She was at my house for a short time." " You do not know where she went then?" "No." " Was there anybody with her that day ?" "No." " Did she tell you she was going to run " No, bat 1 wouldn't blame her if she did ran away. Her mother abused her. Onoe in my hoBse she knocked Laura down and stamped on her. Laura often told me she would run away, bat I told her not to. She said she would marry the first one that asked her. Her mother took her home two months ago. When we lived on Chestnut street last winter Mrs. Hughson lived in the front of the house, and some fast young women stayed there. I went out with them once or twice at first, until I found what they were. One of them told Laura one day that she ran away from home when she was l.i, and had a good time ever since. I know Laura was greatly taken with her fine clothes rnd sprightly wavs, and she told me she would like to do the same thing." 'â-  Where do you think Laura has gone? " " I think she has run away and got mar- ried. She used to tell me of her lovers." " Rather young to be a wife, wasn't she ? '' â- ' She was a well-grown child. From what she told me several times I think she was older than most giris are at 13." LateKt from the NorthweHt. A Northwest farmers' association, simi- lar to the agricultural associations of other provinces, has been organized at Regiua. Mr. G. W. Brown, o' Regina, was elected President. The yacht Nettie, of Port Arthur, has been wrecked near Welcome Islanil, and there is little doubt that the six men who were on board have losttheirlives. Among those lost are Mr. Murray, from London, England, and Mr. McKinnun and Mr. Fox and bis son, of Fort William. Concerted action is being taken to secure the taking up of the $800,000 of the bonds issued by the Provincial Government. The proposition is for the City Council to take up 9150,000 and the citizens the remainder. Some of the most substantial moneyed men in the city are in this new movement. The bonds will he taken up only on the express understanding that the road will be com- pleted this fall. Foley Bros., the contractors who have just completed a contract on the Duluth A Manitoba Road, are in the city and have made a proposition to the Government to complete the road and take the Provincial bonds in payment. Chief Justice Wallbridge is seriously ill of kidney disease and is not expected to hve. Reimrts received from all portions of the Province show that the wheat crop is scarcely more than started. The weather is only now taking a cold turn, and as soon as ploughing operations are suspended a blockade may be looked for. The .\mericBn Government has estab- lished a customs office at Pembina and placed an officer in charge to facilitate the transportation of goods to and from Mani- toba on the Duluth ,V Manitoba Railroad. The Maniiithu Gttzfttf contains the pro- clamation of disallowance by the (iovernor- General of certam Aits of the Local Legis- lature passed several years ago, but which were not properly proclaimed at the time. In fact, all disallowance Acts have been proclaimed a si'cond time. Prairie fires have been prevailing in the district between Lesalle and Boyne. The settlers, however, have esca|>ed pretty well, excepting James Sutherland, who lost almost everything. The total arrival of immigrants to date this year is lo.OOU. A syndicate of New York capitalists in- tend to engage in slaughtering cattle from the Canadian Northwest, and a repre- sentative will shortly visit the country for the purpose of making preparations. It is the intention to slaughter the cattle at some point on the Canadian Pacific Rail- way, probably Medicine Hat or Maple Creek, and ship the dressed moat to New York. They T»l<l Kat'h Other All. " Why, Mame. is it really you?" " Yes, indeed, Sadie; when did you get home?"

How to Make a Man Your Bneiuy. I have often thought that people hadn't got borrowing down to <\n exact science when Solomon wrote, and that when Poor Richard said, " He that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing," he must have meant that one fellow did the borrowing and the lender did the sorrowing. 1 am older now, my children, than T was when I was younger, and I have learned that there is nothing in the world that will make a man hate you so bitterly as to owe you borrowed money that he cannot pay. " But why should that make him mad at you ?" I do not know, children ; I do not know. â€" Uurdette. Rev. Adirondack Murray, whose specialty is fish stories, cmssed the line into Canada the other day and came back orest'fallon. Of the lying capacity of the French Cana- dian he says: " There is a childish enthus- iasm about it that captivates you. He smiles as he lies. Ho lays his hands on his heart ; he lifts his eyes upward ; he embel- lishes his little lie with saintly allusions ; he lies as if he believed his own lie." Hidemaro Nsmboo, of Japan, was graduated at Princeton in 1878. Ho is now Court astronomer at Tokio. When he ac- cepted the court appointment his name was chanf^ed to UidemaroOkenna. Seeing stars reminds him of the old college days when he took part in cane rushes. The annual convention of University College, Toronto, took place yesterday afternoon in Convocation Hall. President Wilson in bis address dealt with the needs of the college, and urged that the Oovern- ment should net expeditiously in conferring the benefits which the recent legislation authorized. A SKETCH Of a Little Child, an Aacnst Rose and an Answered Prayer The following literary sunbeam is from the pen of ( arrie McAyval in (Joixi Cheer Fhrting with the girls, sir ' No, indeed '. That's something 1 never do ; and as to that lily of a girl just throwing kisses to me, why, bless yuu, that's my daughter May. Aad she's thedesrest thing on earth to me. Something special about her makes me have a different feeling toward hor from anybody else I ev^r knew, and if you'd like, sir, I'll tell yon about something that hap- pened when she was a wee baby, twelve years ago. It happened right along this very road between Newburyport and Byfleld, and I was then the engineer instead of conductor, and was younger looking than I am now with this white head of mine. Only li() years old, sir, and you see I haven't a black hair in my head. That he- longs to my story, too, as you will find. You remember that bill with the cottage at the foot of it, and golden rod and wild clematis growing along the stone wall ? That's where I've lived ever since I was married, and it was on that embankment around the bend that the most terrible event of my life occurred. It was one day in August, in the tirst of the month, and I will never forget how the sky looked, as deep and blue as my baby's eyes, nor how sweet and still the air was that morning as I walked over to Ohe station. The golden rod and ferns hong heavy with dew, and there were clusters of purple grapes on the vines along the hedge. The roses were unusually late that year, and as the fall came on they were deep crimson instead of pink, as they are earlier in the season. I had one in my buttonhole that morning. Baby had put it there when she kissed me good-by. " Pitty 'ose, papa, for oo. Dod made it, mamma tell me so. Dod live up in ky." My wife was a Christian, and although I did not believe in her religion then, I have learned to put my trust in God since baby lisped to me about the rose that morning. Every pleasant day when I made my down run at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, my wife and baby used to be sitting out there on the hill and they would wave their hands at me, and the baby would look so sweet and innocent, waving her little fat arm, I used to have a great longing in my heart that no harm should ever come to her ; and I was such a strong healthy young fellow I felt that 1 should be able to protect and guard her always. Almost 3 o'clock and the old forty-nine was puffing and steaming fit to burst as we neared the bend. I was already looking to- ward the hill and sure enough there was the baby's white dress; no, I was mis- taken ; it was only a piece of newspaper. They were not there. Why. I wondered. Perhaps they would be there before I turned the curve. Somehow it seemed to me I never so longed to have them there as I did that day, and I kept anxiously looking un- til away in the distance on the track I saw something that made every pulse in my body give a great leap and then stand stili. There, just ahead of me, toddling along, with her yellow hair tlying and her little arms stretched out to balance herself, was my baby ! A moment more and the wheels would be grinding her bmly and her precious blood would stain the track. I lived ages in that moment of agony I waved my arms, shouted, rang the bell like a madman, and as I was pulling the rope the rose fell from my buttonhole on to the seat, and baby's words, " Dod made it. Dod live up in 'ky," came to me. For the first time in my life 1 poured out my soul in prayer. " Gml save my <hild." Atthat moment she stumbled and fell down the grassy embankment. .\s soon as I could 1 ran back to find her, and there she sat in the grass, lifting her blue eyes aiid dimpled mouth to me, and as I hugged her to my heart she lisped : ' I tied to climb on cars, papa, butsome- body pushed me over and 1 fell down here. Don't kv, papa '." For I was crying and thanking (iod at the same time, and when I came alongside of the train, carrying baby on my shoulder, all the men threw up their hats and cheered and most of the women were sob- bing. That rose is in the locket with one of her baby curls, and 1 have never failed to pray for her safety and happiness, as well as for many other things since that day. Isn't she a beanty, too? And you can't blame me for liking this time of year best, and for always wearing an August rose whenever my darling girl piim one in my buttonhole, as she did this one two honrs ago. â€" ^ A Forsetful Koy. Bobby was spending the afternoon at his aunt's, and for some moments had been ga/.ing out of the window in a painfully thoughtful sort of way. " What makes you so serious, Bobby ? ' asked his aunt.

AMONG THE CHUKCBES. Spuryeon's Orthodoxy â€" The Pope's ,lnbllee â€"A Little Mormon's Hymn. Though Mr. Spurgeon has denied the story of his probable withdrawal if the Baptist Union failed to punish certain heterodox ministers, the Scotsman returns to the charge with the accusation that Mr. Spurgeon changed his mind. It justifies its statement by >}uotations from Mr. Spurgeon's magazine. The address of the President of the Union was a reply to Mr. Spurgeon. Though no direct notice was taken of Mr. Spurgeon's attitude, his recent writings are the main topics of conversa- tion among ministers. The Pan-Presbyterian Council meets in June next. The American F-xecutive Com- mittee has been called to meet on Wednes- day, 'Jfith inst., at New York. \t the meeting will be representatives from all parts of North America, .\mong the dele- gates will be Rev.

Those who do not miss a good deal, whether they sympathize w'th Henry (iturge's theories or not. In an age, when many shrewd practical men seem drift'xg away from Christianity altogether and when the gulf between the rich and the poor seems to be growing more and more impassable, it is refreshing to read such addresses as are weekly reported in that paper â€" addresses spoken to crowded audi- ences of workinginen in the city of Now York, by such speakers as Dr. Pentecost and the groat-hearted Dr. McGlynnâ€" an .Ameri- can Pere Hyacinthe â€" who has sacrificed his ecclesiastical prospects that he might preach, according to his conscience, the old truths of the Sermon on the Mount. It is this and no wild socialism that he and others are preaching to the crowds Sun- day after Sunday, and that the crowds, too, listen to, even as the common people did long ago, when the " Galilean Gosiiel " was first preached. It is an instance also of the uniting power of the great practical verities of Christianity that Dr. McGlynn has been listened to with earnest and sympathetic attention by an assembly of Methodist ministers, as ho explained the platform of the -Vnti-Poverty Society. Has not the Chunh allowed questions theoretical too much to interfere with her practical unity ? and has she been as fathful to hor " mes- sage to men of wealth" as she should have boon 'Canada I'rinhyterian. A.MpNfi TBB IKISH TENANTS. A Traveller'H Oeseriptlon of Scenes Amid the .Starving Poor. William Uennessy was the only Irish peasant I had met who had no humor in him â€" or at any rate did not show any. He was horribly in earnest from beginning to end. " Look where he sleeps," he almoat s<' reamed ; " a place more fit for a brute baste than for a man ; there it is, and he and two gossoons (their mother is dakd) share it between iliein." " Gossoons " means " boys, " and, striding up to the dark corner where the bed lay, he pulled it roughly about, dragging out the coarse sacks which served as blanket and ooverlet, then tossing up the moldy, stale, broken straw. It did not appear to occur to him that in tossing about the things in that manner he was making work for.Jas. Walsh when Jas. Walsh returned home at night from the Gombeen niun's to his cold-as- death praties. He was, as I have said, horribly in earnest ; he was too complataly possessed by the idea of the human misery he was depicting in a wild stormy way. " You see that big stone," he said, in a quieter tone, when we went outside. The stone was an enormous boulder, weighing I don't know how many tons, and he told me a story about it. Under that boulder, he said, a noise of hammering had been heard many a time at midnight during a period of forty years. The wise folk about the place said that treasure must be con- cealed beneath the stone, and that some ancient ghost was notifying the fact to liv- ing men ; so five of the Corrigeen tenants â€" William Hennessy among them^resolved to remove the boulder. This they did in the dead of night with the help of a lever. Hennessy was deputed by his four associates to search the hole. He did so, and found a rusty kettle. All this waa very superstitious of Hennessy and his friends, but men better educated believe in things as absurd as ghosts and hidden treasnres ; besides, Hennessy and his friends, in spite of their superstition, are perhaps pretty gomi judges of the Irish land question Poor James Walsh's plat of potatoes looked very ragged and scraggy. " The aciursed doer'" exclaimed Hennessy again ; " the accursed deer I" and he described how they came up at night and in the morning from the beautiful glen opposite and enter the field and garden plats, and how the peasants sit up at night to watch for them, and how very often it si«ni8 as if the deer were not coming ; the watchers retire to rest, only to tiiid that the deer have committed more ravages in an hour than the sleepers lan replace by the wages of a week's toil. .\ll the tenants tell the B.kme story. " Is no allowance made to you in your rent from all that damage ?" I ask. " No," is the universal reply. â€" London haihi Seu-'^. An AccoiiimudatliiK Miller. " You complain of having to pay your pastor's salary," said an old miller. ' I will pay it for you and you shall not feel it." At the end of the year he brought in a receipt in full for the salary from the pastor, and then be explained : " I did it by taking a little toll when yuu sent your gram to my mill, and I took so little that none of you felt it. You see how easily the pastor can be paid." â€" Richmond llelinuna Herald. A Toronto Ulvoroe Case, Messrs.

Well, this young lady, hearing he was a noble, must have his autograph, so she came into the store one day and re(|uested it, leaving her album. It puzzled him greatly. Why should sfie want bis autograph, a complete stranger ? Suddenly the truth struck him and ho wrote his name, ami beneath, "Clerk in M s store." " (), " eaid he to me, you should have seen her face lengthen, and she said, ' I diiln't want that. I wanted vour name and your title.'

He was walk- ing aimlessly about the grounds when a man walked up quickly and said ; " Are you working, or will you stand ?" " I'll stand," said the ButTalonian, and ho re- mained where he was for probably fifteen minutes. During that period the stranger came to him three times and handed him money. At last he began to think he had enough of " standing, " and struik out for his hotel. Soon after his arrival there he tumbled to the fact that he hail been doing " stool-pigeon " work for a gang of pick- pockets, who had evidently made a mistake as to his identity, but he cleared about 810 by the contract.
