"Bat 1 am rich," cried the girl impulsive ly. "And there will be no need for you to remain in the army, or, in fact, to do any- thing that you do not like, when we are ma ried." "But until then," Captain Braithwaite begin, touched, in spite of himself, by Ger- aldine's generosity and unbounded confi- dence in himself. "Until then," declared his lady-love bright- ly, "you must remain at the Hall, and go on living as you are doing now. ' The Captain saw then that his game was won. "Co the condi ion," he answered, "that you fix our wedding-day early in the ensu- ing year. And, after a little further argument, this was agreed to.

With a light heart, and in a flatter of ex- citement and happiness, Geraldine passed through Uie hall and up the grand oak stair- case to her own room, where she indulged in aelf-cor.gratulation over her gond-fortune and it was not until afterwards, in the midst of those dark days that followed, that she remembered that thronghout the memorable ride, though Captain Braithwaite had askei her, and she had consented to be his wife, he had never once told her that he loved her. mjanar.

"I tell you what it is, gov'nor," cried Joe, Bmgiog prudence to the winds. 'Its a cry- ing shame that I've been treated as I have been. No one can deny but that Dally was sweet on me once.

When the other paused, he was livid with rage. "Theâ€" Captain ' wa* all he said; and from the quiet tone Joe never guessed at the workings in the man's heart. "Y-s," he repeated, "Captain Braithwaite â€" him as is is going to marry bis cousin It is hardly likely, with all his courting on Dolly, he'll throw the othfr over for her," he added vindictively. "Oh ' For Adam had taken a step forward, and his brawny hand clntehed the lad's throat with a grip that threatened strangulation. "Liar," he shouted hoarsely â€" "bass-heart- ed villian I've a good mind to choke all the breath out of your v le body. " Already Joe was growing black in the fac?, when, with a final shake, the black- smith flucg him from him. "I'll teach you to come here prating to me about my girl, because, forsooth, she showed her sense by not having anything to do with a skulking hound like, you ' Joe, who had came in contact with the opposite wall, and had fallen prone upon the earth, raised himself with some little difficulty, BO bruised and sore was he.

She's " But there he retreated hastily, leaving the sentence incomplete, for Adam, in the door- way, cast upon him so threatening a look that he deemed discretion the better part of valor, and took a hurried departure. ^L'ng after Joe had disappeared from view, the bl.tcksmith stood there, hia stordy figure thrown boldly into relief in the gather- ing gloom by the forge fire, which flickerel and flare.-l behind. He had been in his day as handsome a specimen of our sons of toil as could have been met with in old England, and even now his massive figure was unbent, and his brawny arm retained much of ite strength, of which be had just given good proof. He might have paaaed for a aon of 'Vulcan, with hia bronze face and dark frizzly hair and beard. A bard man some deemed him, and hia general demeanor certain'y showed no signi of weakness. Only to Dolly did he unbend â€" Djlly, his one ewe lamb, his dar- ling, whom he had denied nothing, whom he literally worshipped â€" DoUy, the light of hia old eyea, the legacy left to him by her young mother, and which he had cheriahed all theae years. Dolly, who was to bring shame â€" eih, no Joe Smith wa* a jealous fool his Dolly could do no harm she would have told her old father if "Am I going mad " Adam cried with sudden fierce pain, breaking off in his solilo- quy, "Of course it wa* a lie â€" I told him he was a liar 1" The blacksmith passed his hand over his brow and heaved a great sigh from his broad chest. In all his dreams of the future he had pictured Dolly as a happy wife, but never thisâ€" never thbt a breath even of scandal should sully her fair name â€" ^aever that her beauty would prove a snare, or that she would be made fie sport of an idle hour, the plaything of a man of fashion. "If I thought so, if any one deceived or wronged my Dolly, by â€" He did not fiuish the sentence â€" there was no need; the lowering brow, the flash of the keen dark eyes, the uplifting of the clenched fist, all showed that it would tare ill with the man who incurred Adam Jarvis'a anger. He went back to the forge presently, but he did no more work not that he doubted Djlly yet, bat his interview with Joe Smith had upset him altogether, for It had been one of hia favorite theoriea that hi* daughter should wed the young gardener not tliat the girl herat If waa aware of her father' project. S3 he put out the fire, closed the ponderous doors, and went into the house. It was early, quite an hour before his usual advent. Sue, the old^oman who had lived with him ever since Dolly wm bom, and had acted aa nurse first, and latterly a* gen- eral aervant and factotum, was superintend- iagaome calinary operation. She looked up. rtartlad at the appearance of the black- â€" not much doubt about that, I'm thtakiog l" "He ended with a little ohuckle of seif- oongratnlation, hia brow clearing for the first time that evening. S« the blacksmith want on without any idrther wavering, and finally pulled up before a redbrick house of some pretenaiooa, standing back from the road, with a garden in fsont fenced by a thick Isurel-hedge. Over Ke white gate swung a rod lamp, and that alone, withoat the brass plate, would have indicated it as being t^e residence of the village doctor. Bat the worthy blacksmith needed none of his nos- tmms, and, pa**ing the *nrgery door, pro- ceeded to the baok of the house. The neat maid who opened the door in an- swer to Adam's knock did not appear sur- prised to see a vbltor, and, without being questioned, announced with a giggle that Mrs. Maineâ€" who, by the way, waa neither a married woman nor a widow, and only re- joicad in the honorable prefix by courtesy^ would see him in a minuM, and invited him to atop in. "Whatever passed between Adam Jarvis and the good-tompsred woman who enjoyed Dr. Seymour a confidence, it must have been satisfactoiy, to judge from Adam's counten- ance when, halt an hour later, he emerged from the Doctor's house for he had not tar- ried in his wooing. He ha4 told Mrs Maine he most get home to supper and to Dolly, to whom he was anxious to tell the news, and had successfully parried all the good woman's endeavors to persuade him to teke " a bit and sup " in her company. But now, having finished the busineaa which had brought him rom home, he felt ta no particular hurry to return. It was a bright moonlight night, the air a little keen, but none the less pieas- aut for thatâ€" jast the night for a brisk walk, Adam never could account for the impulie which led him, instead of taking the airect way back to the foige, to make a circuit skirting Oliver's Mount and through the pine wood.

A curious cam has been for some time on trial before the French courto, and has excit- ed much discussion and many smiles. It is that of an eccentric Pranohman, who, at the early age of Xi or 34, was deprived of hia Uberty of action by a family council or, in other words, waa pr«vented from mining h mself financiaUy by having administrators appointed over him. This so enraged him that he conceived a violent prejudice against his fellow-countrymen. Daring the remain- der of his life he seems to have passed his time in inventing measures for annoying his relatives and in his wUl he expressly stip- ulated that as soon aa he was supposed to be dead hia administrator should pieroe hia heart with a bodkin in order to make aure that he ahonld not be buried alive after which he should convey the body to within one mUe of the English ooast, and there have it cast into the aea. "I decline to have my remains repose," s^d this energetic French- man, "in themidst of my fellow-country men, who have acted in an imbecile and idiotic manner in taking away my Uberty of action when I was in Oie prime of life." The ad- ministrator-guardian expressed a profoimd willingness to carry cut the instructions in the will, and was even having a small boat constructed for the purpose of performing the funeral ritea on the water, when the other members of the famUy interfered and brought' the matter into court. Before the tribunal the executor again declared that he was ready to carry out the wiU or to have the body of hia deceased relative placed in a vault in London aa a kind of compromise. The matter haa not yet been settled and is likely to become, legendary. Perhaps it may lead to'ssme reform of the oastiron reg- ulations aa 10 the disposal of fortunes, reg- nlatiooa which may have been very proper in the.epooh of the first Napoleon, but which sre rather antiquated and too tyrannical to salt the temper of the present generation. Lighting His Own Foneial Fyie. John Kosenmeyer, a weU-to-do farmer in Weisbnrg, had been drinking deeply of lato fessio; s we're so conclusive that Cargan and his wife were both convicted and sentenced for Ufe, he to the State prison and she to ihe Detroit House of Cirfection, For having turned State's evidence and convict- ing the Cargans, Mrs. Smith and Alexander were rewarded with light sentences, the former being sent to the Detroit House of Correction for ten years. During Mrs. Smith's imprisonment Su- perintendent Nicholson noticed that she was burdened with some secret mental afiUction. A cancer of the stomach reduced her physically. She sent for the superin- tendent, a^d said she had a deathbed con- fession to make to him. Her death waa ao near that restoratives had to be sdminister- ed to preserve the flickering sparks of life. In disconnected but perfectly coherent sen- tences ahe stated that her entire testimony against Cargan and his wife was perjured. She and Alexander bad been promised a light sentence if they would give evidence against the Cargans With the hope of seeing her children again she determined to swear falsely, and invented the story which had sent the Cargans to prison for life. THE MAM AT THE WINDOW. An Irish (Shost glory. Having tired ourselves bird-nesting, climb- ing trees, leaping, and i'.dulging m other pranks, we at last approached the old man- sion, a little square, loftr, substantial house of three storeys. It had been uninhabited for years. Many of the windoWL were brok en, aamec'oaedwithahuttera, the lower onea built np with atonea. The haU d.or waa ap- proached by a flight of stone steps, throngh whose joinu long grass had grown, was also barric aided with large stones. We examin- ed in detaU the front of thia deaertedhaU. We passed round to the back, and, cUmbing the garden waU,aaw the walka covered with veeda and graaa, the fruit treea encrusted with mosa and mUdew, decay on aU around. I turned round and looked up to one of the top windows, and there, to my ntter amaze meat and terror, beheld atandtag at the window » aged man, dreased in a black cut- away He wore a three-cocked hat, and hia 1^ .rtod coat waa braided with gold. A large black dog waa on the window sill before him, and Us arm was atretehed before •he dog's breast, a* if restraining htm from leaping down on na. AU thia waa taken in at a glance. I pointed to the idndow. The three of ua leaped from the wall, and rnahed over "bank, bush, and scaur," throngh brake and drain. Arriving at the high road breath- less, with clothes torn, hands and faces lac- erated, feet and garmente bedraggled with mire and wet, I asked the other boya if they had aern the old gentleman and his dog, as I described tbcm. They assured me they had. This cxi aordinaiy apparition at mid- day, so much a 1 variance with the ordinary experience, that suih unearthly visitors cf the glimpses of the moon, appear only at the witehing hour of night, I really beheld aa truly as any object I had ever aeen be- fore.

For years no dou t crossed my mind that I had seen that ghost If you ask me if I believe it still, with the knowledge and experience of after years, I must confess that I have devissd a theory to explain the apparition. There were ghost stories connected with the deser- ted mansion of Martinstown. I recoUected, on reflrction, to have heard an old nurse tell how, when the family had iJI left and aome aer vants remained, they were talking one night ronnd the fire to the aervanto' haU. Suddenly they heard a footatep aa of one walking down the ateira. Step by atep the foot oiune until with atatoly tread tbaiw walked into the room an ancient gentleman, with three cocked hat, aboea with broad ail- ver bucklea, and a diamond-hUted rapier by hia side. He gaz^id intently for a moment on the group by the fire, tarned slowly rotmd walked from the room in the same dignified manner, was heard ascending stop by atop to the top of the house and shutting a door behind him. That was the last night any servants steyed at Maitinstown. Ihe con- dn ion to which I afterwards came, looking eye he assumed even to the minutest partic ular the appearance of the old gentieman whose apparition I had heard described years before, but of whom I had no oonaciouB thonght at the time.

Some month* since, the citizens cf How ard's Stotion, on the California, Oregon Idaho stage line, offdred $150 reward for the scalp of an immense grizzly bear that had for months prior thereto been depredating the stock ranches of Siskiyou county. The bear's career as robber of the cborrala ex- tended over fonr years, hia last act being to kill a 2-year old ateer, perch himself upon the animal, and proceeded to make a meal of him. The reward impelled several of the moat noted be^r hunters to look for him but in a very wary way, for Bruin had made mincemeat of a dozen or more dogs, besides being aUve and healthy after four Wii- cheator baUs had been planted in him and after he had loat a portion of one of his feet in a great trap. " Grizzly Reelfoot," had been the name by which -he has since been known, owing to hia concequent ambl- ing gait, Thomas Jones and Charles Meredith went op on the California Oregon raUroad some weeks ago for a hunt. Oa their re- turn they reported that Heiiry Woodburn and Jim WUson, of LinkviUe, Oregon, with themselves, succeeded at last iu killing him. They got on his trail in the deep wocds im- mediately south of Howard's Station, and, with the aid of Wilson's four trained dogs, succeeded in treeirg him. sfter following him through canyons and jungles for over seven miles. Hearing the dogs baying, Wilson, who was in the lead, rushed forward only to find twojof bis favorite dogs lying deaid on the groimd. Blood covered the bushes and great shreds of flesh appeared here and there. Looking upward, the bear appeared wending his way on a limb, about forty feet from the ground. He was i?how- ing his teeth and growling fearfully. W'ilson quickly raising his gun, fired thric" in rapid succession, but without dislodging bitn. The other three hunters then arriving, they also commenced firing, when the ponderous' brute dropped to the ground. He waa im- mediately seized by the remaining dogs, but, badly wounded as he was, ho made a vicious fight, kiUing one dog and tearing the coat of Meredith, who bad ventured too near, off his back. A final chot from -Jones however, finished him. The grizzly weigh- ed over 900 pounds. A 'Wysterious Providence- Mrs. Spurgeon, tiio wife of the famous preacher, b the subject of au astonishing story in the PretbyUrian Monthly Vinilor of London. " Daring an illness of Mrs. Spur- geon," says that paper, " she told him (Mr Spurgeon) that she had been wishing for a piping buU-fiach and ao onyx ring. Of course Mr. Spurgeon expressed bis K-ilUng- BS to get both, bnt she made him promise not to do so. He had to make a sick call on hb way to the stotion as well as call at the Tabernacle. Shortly after reaching the sick person's house the mother of the patient, to bis amazement, asked Mr, Spurgeon if Mrs. S. would Uke a piping-ball-fioch, that they liad one, bnt that ita mnaic was trying on the invaUd, and they would gUdly part with it to one who would give it the requisite care. He then made hb call at the Taber- nacle, and, after reading a voluminous cor- respondence, came at last to a letter and a parcel underlying the other letters. The letter was from a lady unknown to hmi, who had received benefit from h!s services in the Tabernacle, and, aa a slight token of her appreciation of these services, asked his acceptance of the inclosed, onyx ring, cock- let, «id bracelets, for which she hai no fur^ ther use.
