/ < / Our Oup Life. t Tis not for a man to trifle, life is brief, f And sin is here? Our age is but the falling of a leaf, ' A dropping tear. Wo have no time to sport away the hours; All must be earnest in a world like ours. I Vofc manv lives, but onlv one bavr> wo? r One, only one. How sacred should that 0110 life erer be, ' That narrow span? Day after (lay filled up with blessed toil, 1 Hour after hour still bringing in now spoil. Our being is no shadow of thin air, No vacant dream, j No fable of tho*e things thr.t never wore, I ? But only seem. I j Tis full of meaning as of mystery, Though strnuge and solemn may that meaning be. Our sorrows are no phantoms of the night, No idlo tale, No cloud that flouts along a sky of light On summer gale. They are the true realities of earth; Friends and companions, even from our birth. Oh, life below how brief, and poor, and sad ! i OJi, life above, how long, how fair, anil glad ! An en Hess joy !

( Therefore I was spending the winter in 3 the mountains of Maryland with Market Ila^tincs. ( Margaret had been a "belle, a beauty . and an heiress," a wife and a mother. | Sbe was cow only the last. Her band some lmslaad had carried her away ] frcm Ler past, worn out her beauty, ) spent her fortune, and died in time to , Favo his memory, at least. She shut , herself away from the world to mourn for him in singleness of heart, and give cer time to his children. It was something of a surprise when , sho wrote to me, once her intimate, and begged me to come to her for the next four months. She had quietly and vtefldilv refnsrd all advances for so lone tbat we bad grown indifferent to I er movements, and seldom spoke of her, except to pity her changed fortunes and Lor infatuation. When tho letter came I forgot her rejection of intended kindnesses in tho quite selfish idea of something new. It was not until I saw her, pule and sweet and sad, that I felt for her any of the old-time love, and realized there might bo more in. my life with her than the mere escape from tiresome sameness or the rapidly waning pleasures of novelty. She lived in a small house on the mountain side?a curious, rambling, one-storied structure, with an attic, in which we slept, and o.ld little porches between tho downstairs rooms, where they jutted out or lapped over each other. SLe "kept her carriage''?a light rockaway?and a steady horse ; and her servants, one old woman, a half-grown girl and a young man. Everything around her was neat, but plain in the extreme. Society there was none. The few farmhouses scattered beie nnd there along the valley were onlv shelters for their hard-working, pocrly repaid owners. No one had time for mere courtesies or means for other "than pure hospitality?food and warmth for those who absolutely needed them. Sho was the "great lady" of the connby, and went to and fro in a sort of stately exclusiveness, which enabled her to devote every moment to her little ones?a boy and a girl. I <?;d not wonder she had at last grown restive, and reached out a longing hand for gome kindred touch. We had a very pleasant time together. It was so delicious to do jmt as one - pleased, and take up only euch interests as one chose. I read a Rood deal, and walked, and drove and, above all, talked. There was so much to tell of my world, once Margaret's as well. And there were some things to hear in the quiet hours when the depths of our natures were reached. I began to believe, after all, that ' love is enough," for Margaret had had that, and minded nothing else. She had not been at all deceived as to her husband's real self, and did not attempt to deceive me. They had simply loved each other, each with the best that *ras in them; und if his best bad been poor enough, it w..8 his, and she asked no more. Cne night we had an adventure that suggested the charms of a more civilized fctate of society, as well as its draw back?. Tbe children were in bed, the servants upstairs with them?the man went to his own home at night?and we were reading in the east room. The silence was profound. The very fire was noiseless. Suddenly we raised ' onr heads with one impulse and gazed 1 6tearti;y into each other's eyes. 1 " What is that?" whispered Margaret, after a moment that seemed an age. " Some one at the long room window." I answered, almost breathlessly. 1 The long room ran off at right angles ' from the east room; the dining-room ' branched off from the long room, paral- , lei with the east room. Between them was a covered porch. J Each had three or four w ndows and 1 two or tbrce doois. There was not a ' shutter to the first nor a bolt to the last. And wo were a houseful cf women * unarmed and unprotected. 1 The noise continued. There was no ' doubt of its meaning. Some one was J srying the windows of the long room, * oteadily, carefully, persistently. 1 To reach the stairs and join the rest of the household wo most either pass 1 through the long room, all uncurtained * and cpen to inspection from throe sides, orcross tho porch to the dining-room, j 5 thus going out iuto the black night where we knew not what danger lurked j ' ucseen, but fearfully near. We eat in terror too deep for words, !

"Oh, Fan !" gasped Margaref, "were 1 you ever so glad an all jour life be- ' fore ?" " Never!" I answered. " 1 thought I 1 would never reach that door! Ob, what J can we do." 1 " Let us ask Betty." In the same noiseless manner we { crcpt upstairs and roused Betty in her ' attic. She was an enormous, dingy old creature, who looked able to protect 1 herself and a score of women younger, 1 fairer and less ponderous. But she was as great a coward as either of us, < and less cautious. The young girl awoke calmly, and j instantly got out of bed, and com- < niencfd dressing herself with all speed, 1 and no words. 1 "Whatare you going to do, Kitty V t a'ked her mistress. " I'm a-goin' to see ef there is a man t about," she answered, quietly leaving t the ro^m. o I followed her, and together, holding each other tight by the band, we crept E down the stairs again, and softly opened the door of the long room on & the tiuy entry. The four gray spaces in the blackness clearly defined the window, and at first we could see n nothing e'ee. Bnt there was the noise d and Kitty's fingers trembled. Present- ^ Jy we saw. A man was bending for- d ward at the end window, with a regular slow movetmnt, that explained the c sound perfectly. He was turning the | t' handle of some boring instrument just d under the catch. Wp fled precipitately. t< " He's ther," announced Kitty, " an' u he's a-comin' in.'' " ? t Betty groaned. It was curins, but tl he knowledge that no one could hear n a cry bad the effect of suppressing them. Under any other circumstance?, where there was the faintest shadow of s' a hopo that it would haye brought us ii help, I am sure each and all of us would have screamed lustily. Bat we ^ knew our danger and it3 hopelessness, si We were awed from the first. The mountains bad been gaining an evil reputation for fome time as the re- b sort cf the border ruffians of the war. y Margaret's mode oi life, in its differ- a ' ence from their own, had long parsed u v for the outcome of enormous "wealth in ' ? - he eyes of the valley people, anc ame had spread across the ridge. Kitty put it into words in her i erse manner: " Ihis comes of yer big silver te klis* Hastings." " Oh, Kitty, hush ! And it is }late. Oh, I wish I could throw i )f the window to him." "It we only had a horn," I moi ' or a pistol." "There's the dinner-horn," Kitty. "Can you fire a pistol, Fan?'' Margaret. "I can do anything," I ans\ irantically. " Anything but stand md wait for that wretch. Kitty x ,s the horn V" "Out to the barn." "Oh, you little goose!" "And the pistol is downstai Bertie's tool-chest cn the pc jighod Margaret.

But I was wrought up 1 "Very well, pive me thecandle. ] jomo down and stand ready to loc loor, if any one comes." Margaret began to cry and Bet moan, but neither of them'ntte ivord. Kitty and I again crept down stairs. I had an unlighted candli some matches, which really was an ;hought full of relief, since it all no to slip unpereeived througli lining-room door, and to react ;hest under the welcome cover of aess. The night was profoundly darl still. I remember distinctly the d shadow of the mountain agains gloomy sky just over my head paused for one brief second to breath and steady my hand.

The pistol was ready to my hand I recollected that only the day t Bertie had found it somewberi stairs and carried it down in high I seized it and rushed in to E welcome presence.

Then I turned an upstairs after Margaret and Kittj were leaning as far as possible fro attic-window, and screaming for h the top of their lungs. It was nearer than we hoped.

An old reai dent described tho approach of Sattirda night's cvelono as follows: " Tho clock ii my ho:i.*e, which is situatod in tho western en of tho placo, stopped at ten minutes of 9.

The storm be^an about 9 o'clock The wind had bocn blowing from the southeat for eev ral hours. Then thero came a lull fo about ten minutes and it waa likened to th stillness of death." The storm was then heard approaching fror the west with tho noise of a dozen thunderin railroad trains.

" Hoosier." A doctor of divinity has interested himself in an effort to determine the origin of the term "Hoosier," used to designato a resident of Indiana. He does not accept the explanation that it grew one 01 me inquiry 01 a stranger from the South who pushed open an Indiana cabin door and inquired, " Who's yer ?'' He says that a learned foreigner named Leminouabi used to lecture to the pioneers on the wars of Europe, speaking frequently of the valor of the hussars, and pronouncing that word "hoosiers." The explanation continues: "During the excavation of the canal at thefalls of the Ohio through Kentrcky. a young man from Washington county, Indiana, on the grounds one day fought and whipped three Kentuckians. Highly elated at the conclubion, amid a torrent of backwoods profanity, he exclaimed, 4 I'm a hoosier I1 from Leminouski's pronunciation of hussar.

Melville's hearcli party first started from the supply depot [here two words vmintniiinii.ii.i ?r> follow Ninderman's routo from IJatenia to Mot Vai, and afterward from Mot Vai back toward Usterda. lowing sentence is again unintelligible.] They stopped at tho placo which Ninderman ana Noras passed the first day after they left De Long, feeling aurc that the others had not got much further. There they found the wreck, and following along the bank they came upon arille barrel liun^ upon four sticks [here six words aro unintelligible. " They set the natives digging on each side of the sticks, and thoy soon came upon two bodies under eight l'cet of snow. While these men were digging toward the east Melville wont on along the bank, twenty feet above the river, to liud a place to tako bearings. He then saw a camp kettle and the remains of a fire about 1,000 yards from the tent, and approaching nearly stumbled upon De Long's hand sticking out of the snow about thirty feet from tho edgo ef the bank. Here, under about a foat of snow, fhey found the bodies of De Long aud Ambler about three feet apart, and Ah Bam lying at their feet, all partially covered by pieces of tent and a few pieces of blanket. All the others except Alexia they found at the placo where the tent was pitched. Leo and koch wero close by in a cleft In the bank toward the west. Two boxes of records, with tho medicine chest and a flag on a staff, were besido ihe tent. "None of tho dead had boots. Their feet were covered with rags, tied on. In the pockets of all were pioces of burnt skin antf of the clothing which they had been eating.

A Touching: Incident. A child's soul in the act of grant endurance passing out at the pressurt of his mother's kiss is a noble subject Says a Western exchange : A ten-year old boy, whose legs were recently cut off by a train of cars a Dubuque. Iowa, was too plucky to make any fuss over the incident. When th< little fellow was tafcen home his legf hung limp, but ho did not complain, Not a tear stood in his eyes, but the tender look he gave io those who stood by his sido told plainly that he was suffering great agony. After tho doc tor had dressed his wounds he called his parents, sisters and brothers to his bedside, kissed one and all, and left a tear upon their cheeks. A second time he called his mother to his side, placed his arm3 about ber neck, and said : ' Mother, I am going to die in a few minutes. Please forgive me for not minding you." With this the little fellow fell -back, and as tho mother said, " Yes, my darling," and took another look at his face, bTio found him beyond all painA Judge's Experience. Judge J. T. Bossier, of St. Tammany parish, La , and of the State Legislature, thus expressed his opinion to one ot our representatives: "I have found St. Jacob.* Oil to he very eflicacioiH in sprains and bruises.
