A MIXER'S LOVE STORT. -o Nelly Clover was thc prettiest lass in tho pit village. Her eyes were of the sweetest bluf; her cheeks' were like a rose ; and you might have thought her brown hair wai the finest silk. Then she had a figure like a fairy, it was so trim ; and with a waist you could almost span. 1 loved Nelly, hut as for that, all the chaps of th? village, were of the same mind, and she might have had her pick of us; the worst of it was, she treated us all alike, and wouldn't look at one more than another. She had a smile for every body, and was always good tempered, but there it ended ; and, somehow, none of us could screw up courage to try her further. 1 don't know how often I thought it over, it came into my head the fir^l thing in the morning, and there it remain ed the last thing at night, when it either kept mc awake, or haunted my dream* At last it took possession of nie. No ' matter where I was, digging, or blasting, or tunneling; above ground, or down it) the pit; my thoughts turned on Nelly, and from being the merriest fellow in the village, I just came to be the dullest. One morning there was no work in the pit for my gang, because thc viewer wanted that part of thc seam shored up. and it struck mc, all at once, that I would have? it out with Nelly, so I made mysell smart, and set out walking as brisk as il it was a wager. You may think it coiv ceit in me, but I can say that I was thcr as clever a chap to look at as you would often see and I knew it! For all that, I began to walk a bit slower when 1 caught sight of Mrs. Glover's cottage, and I fell of my heart But I went on, and I josi got up to the cottage when who should come out but Nelly herself. She ncvei looked prettier than at that minute ; bu: appearing so suddenly, she dashed rrj) spirit, aud I hadn't a word to say to her " Why, Charley, what is the matter ?" she cried, in a frighted sort of way. . " Well,- it is just this," I said. Anc there I stopped. " Is anything wrong with Jack ?" shf cried quickly. "Jack ?" " Yes,' he is down in the pit ; they saj it is foul, which makes mother and me uneasy. You haven't heard anything V And she looked in my .eyes as if sin would search me through. " No, no," 1 answered, steadying, nov. thaj; I thought I could comfort her. " Ht is all right. You mustn't mind what tin old women of the village say, or you'll be looking for a blow-up every day ir thc year, when there is nothing mort than common. I haven't come to you about Jack, Nelly ; it is about myself.' She gave me another look, now ; then her cheek flushed unlike a flame, and her eyes turned away. " Do you know what I want to say. Nelly ?" I went on. ? I wish you did, for I can't tell it. It is more than I have got words fir. How I love you, how you are always before me, how I am crazed, and mad about you ! But though 1 can't say all I want to, here 1 stand, and I wouldn't change with a king, if you'll take me as I am !" "Ah, Charley! you don't knowhow you pain me," she answered. "Don't say that, Nelly. I doubted about speaking to you, but now that I have done it, now that I can't go on de ceiving myself, if you have any pity In your heart, show it to me, and" I will cherish you to the day of my death." "It is no use," she replied, "lean never marry a pitman. I gave the prom ise to mother anr1 ack, when we walked up to the villi at the funeral of my father and b> tera, all three killed iii the mine-our great sorrow, which 1 can never think of without crying." And the tears, it is true, were running down her cheeks, though, for the moment she seemed to mc to be harder than stone. And I seemed turned to stone myself. 1 had no recollection, no feeling, and no sense, and ? couldn't have moved a step to have saved my life. Then it all flashed upon mc like lightning. I took a list look at Nelly, dropped my head upon my breast, and without a word more, walked out of the gate. Our village seldom looked bright, no mutter how the sun shone, and now 1 felt os if the sun would never shine again for me, so, as my eye fell on tho line of cftt tages, with the clouds hanging down from above, and nothing round but a waste, I thought I might as well be in my grave as continue to live there. Besides, I should always bc meeting Nelly, perhaps lurking about her mothei's cottage, and making her as miserable as myself. Why shouldn't J go away, to Yorkshire, or Derbyshire, or to the diggings in Australia, fir thai matter? The notion, if it was good for nothing more, gave me :i lillie more spirit. Jt turned my thoughts, and I stepped out quicker, going straight home. 1 hadn't much to settle there, only to bid good-bye to the folks I lived with, and I came out, pack on back, and began my tramp. I stopped at the moor? and looked back, remembering I might never see the place again, and, dismal as I now thought it, with its gaping walls and shaken roofs encumbering the blackened ground, I had been happy there. Not one of those cot tages but would open its door to me ; not ono where 1 wouldn't meet a friend. And there ? had been born ; it was thc spot on earth that, even in that hour of bitterness, I loved best, and I didn't turn away with- j ont dashing my hand aoross over eyes. 1 was walking on, when suddenl air rang with a crash that shoot ground. 1 knew what it signified ; sounds denote but one result in the 1 country, and throwing down my ps darted off to the spot, with the foe that animate every miner on such i sions. It didn't seem a minute before J i to the dust-heaps round the pit's m but some were there before me, an< off-men and the women were rushin from the village in a stream. The s from the pit almost knocked me dov 1 came up, and I had to get my bre: little, when three or four of us crc{ to the mouth, and looked down. Th plosion had destroyed the cage, not ing a stick of it, but it had not inj the signal rope ; hence a means of < munication remained for any one in diately below. As soon as I saw t set to work to rig a cross bar, and j ently had it ready. '.Just lower tue geutly," I said to banksmen. I may pick up one or if theres any near.1' " You can't go down yet !" crie< viewer. M How many are in the pit " Half an hour ago there were, ? replied the time-keeper; "but, 1 thankful to say, they all came up ten." u And they arc all lost," said thc \ er, " for there will bc another e.xplc directly." '. I'll go down, anyhow," I said gedly;""and if nobody will lower I'll jump down." A good many were on thc heap no men and women-some of the wo crying, some praying; but when 1 sj out that way there was a dead sile Then two or three called out, "Good Charley, God bless you, brave lad." banksmen lowered me down, and I \ through the pit's mouth. A Davy 1 was tied around my waist, and 1 he rope in my hand, so that I might si to be hoisted up if the air became foul. But I had no intention of g< back till I had searched trie pit, and : if any were alive. One thing I di care about, my life ; and another, I w< h??ve been ashamed to face the folks ai without doing something; sol felt patient that they* lowered me at sui snail's pace, and I kept looking up down to measure the distance yet t< traversed. The shaft had never seei so deep to me before. I strained my < into the darkness below, lind saw no tom ; I glanced up, and the gleam of I grew smaller and smaller. I scanned walls of the shaft, and marked only t black bound. But my progress was cified by the increasing density of the which began to affect my breathing ; i as I went on, I had to shift my face fi side to side to make a little current, last my feet touched the gi ound. I looked around as 1 jumped off straddle, and saw the furnance was ! which put a stop to the ventilation of mine, as far as it depended on the b . tices, and no air entered but by the si i The stench was overpowering, and fi I this and the silence, I guessed thc wo I lt was plain that the explosion had ki the horses ; for not a sound came fi : the stable, which was close to the shi i and what hope could there be for hut I beings in a distant part of the pit? ? r may be sure ? didn't stand to make ti ? reflections ; they floated across me, ai ? was working forward,' before they through my mind. 1 knew the old n : blindfolded ; but what with foul sn and the deep gloom, I was some mint I scrambling to the top of the incline, ke ing my arms stretched out as I went ale > to feel fur anything in the way. Ant was lucky 1 did, or 1 should- have das' my head against some empty trucks, i - in the state I was in, that would have ; ished me. Thus I reached thc first < ' lery, which you could only enter sto . ing. 1 pushed open the trap door, ? went on a few steps, though my Da 'amp was what pitmen call "afire" . (lame being all blue-and 1 knew the was so much gunpowder. But I stumb ! along; if I wasn't to save any one i didn't matter what became of myself, J . I pleased myself with thc thought il i Nelly would hear 1 had died in the attern And then, all at once, b came into i i head what she had said about her broil . Jack being in the pit. This gave i heart such a turn that I staggered, a the perspiration poured from my forehc like water. I rushed forward as if I ? mad ; my foot struck something ; I be down over what seemed to be a corp and the gleam of thc lamp fell oT. its fa< It was Jack Glover. I didn't know wheth he was alive or dead, but 1 caught him my arms, and with the strength of a gia and the'spced of a deer-hardly consciot hardly breathing-1 made a dash for t shaft. It was easier work going back, wh you were once in the main or horse roa< for now the shaft was before you, instei of behind; and though you wouldt think it, this made a wonderful different in the light. Dark as pitch it still wn though not to pitman's eyes, and I hi found out that Jack breathed when reached the shaft. The discovery nerve me afresh, and kept all my senses at wor without my seeming to know it. I on! felt there soon would be another exph sion. So I placed Jack on thc straddl and taking the rope from my Davy lam] tied him hand and foot, thea pulled th <igual rope, and as the people abov hauled the tackle and lifted the straddl from the ground, I hung on by my arms thus we began to mount tho shaft. It wasn't till we had got twenty fee up that I felt the strain of standing o nothing, but, from that moment, it becam ?dst terrible. My hands seemed read; to snap; the ache in my arms spreai through every muscle ; my head spui around ; my feet kicked abou" in agony I watched thc? mouth of the pit till mi eyes swam, and as I reckoned the spaci between, my strength waned and rnj misery deepened, I thought I must dror before I reached the lop. Then they be gan to hoist faster. I mustered all my strength ; I tightened my grip of the straddle, though my finders weregrowinp numb; I steadied my feet, and hardly trusted myself to breathe. I could sec the walls of thc shaft ; I could feel the purer air; I heard voices; arid presently the tackle swung ; strong arms taught me round, and I was landed on the bank. They had Jack Glover off the straddle before you could look ronnel, and he was carried away, while they raised my henel and poured a little brandy in my mouth I called out for the viewer. ''What is it, Charley Batson?" he asked, bending over me. " Everybody away from the pit, sir," I said. " You are right," he answered ; it will come in a minute or two. They got me to the top of (he bank, whpn 1 heal da scream, and there was Nelly, trying to throw hrfTself on her brother Jack, but kept tack by "he other women. She never glanced round at me! I wished then that I had stopped in the pit, or let myself drop from the bar, as I came up, and so escaped seeing her again. But I made up my mind that i had looked on her for thc last time. ? told my help ers that I could walk now, and when they let go my arms, I" turned towards the moor, intending to pick up my pack, and drag on at least to the next village. But I could no more walk five miles than I could fly. When I came to the pack I sank down by it and felt that I must give up. I was so heated, that I thought there was now another explosion at ti e pit, as 1 expected, and though it shook the ground under me, I didn't lift my head. All I thought of was stretching out my arms and legs and lying quiet. How long I lay there 1 never knew. But by degrees I recovered a little strength, and my thoughts took more shape, when I decided to return to my old lodging and have a day's rest befurc I set out on my wanderings. Thc day passed and the night, and the next day, I was still in bed, the good folks tending me like achild. My limbs, which had been racked with pain, now felt easy, md I was ready for a start again. But 1 thought there would be opposition, so I got up very quiet, and was putting on my things, when the room door opened, and to my wonder, in came Jack Glover. " Halloo, Charley, here we are," he cried, seizing my hand and giving it a hearty squeeze. " Who would have thought of us two being alive to-day ?" '. Well, Jack," I answered, "I am glad for you, but I shouldn't have cared for myself." rt flow's that ?" he asked. li Because I have" something on my mind." " You!" he said, laughingly, and giving me a little push. " Here, sit down and have a pipe, and it will all go off like the smoke." "1 don't care if I never smoke a pipe again," I said, savagely. " Now, I'll tell you what it is," said Jack ; " von have been having a tiff with our Nelly."' " I haven't," I answered, my cheek bur ning. " Well, you know best about that,*' continued Jack ; " but it's what I guess, because you were seen talking with her, and she had a .crying fit directly after. And when she heard from mc that it was you that brought me up from the pit, she fell on my neck and fainted." u Didn't she know it before ?" I asked, relenting. "No." "Then, I'll just tell you all about her and me," I said. I was a long time telling it, but Jack sat up as if he was listening to a play, or a sermon, at chapel. 1 gave him a de scription of Nelly that would have done for the Hue and Cry ; went into all the feelings she had raised in my breast, told him how I had watched for her, thought, nf her, and dreamt of her, and finally, recounted our last colloquy. Jack never moved a muscle, and not till I stepped for breath, did he put in a word. " D.on't you think you've been a little fast, Charley ?" he then said, dubiously. " How do you mean ?" 1 inquired. . " Why. in giving up so. Suppose, when Nelly said she couldn't have you, you had put your arm round her waist, and said she must !" This view had never struck mo, and rather took me back. u But there was her promise to you and \ her mother never* to marry a pitman," 1 I urged. . " So there was. But did you never hear that promises were made to be bro ken?" \ u I can't say but I have," I muttered clapping on my hat. " Where are you going?" asked Jack. "You wait here a minute," I replied. With that I took two strides down the stairs into the road, and hurried off to I Mrs. Glover's cottage. I stood outside, when I opened the door, and the first thing , I saw was Nelly, sitting by her mother, . and looking like a ghost-only ghosts never look pretty. She gave me one ; look, then started up and sprang into my I arms. My heart was-so full 1 couldn't speak at first, but I thought I must dc something, so I slipped my arm around her waist, as Jack recommended. Now . I felt sure of her, and of all the happiness that the world could give, and, as my breast swelled proudly, 1 began to bear a little malice. " Ah, Nelly, if you had only loved me !" I said. Nelly tightened her arm around my neck. How happy we might have been !" I continued. " Then we can bc, Charley !" she mur mered. " Then, Nelly ! We can never marry, you know." The little fingers unlocked, and I felt .Nelly filling away ; but I remembered Jack's counsel, and held by the waist. , "There's your promise to your mother and Jack," 1 continued, " how arc we to get over that ?" " I forgot that," faltered Nelly, as white as a sheet. " And what do you say lo it, mother," 1 cried to the old lady. Mrs. Glover got up, and took Nelly's hand and put it in mine. "That's what 1 say to it," she said heartily ; " and I know Jack is of the same mind." " And this is what I say to it," I cried, giving Nelly a kiss. You won't be surprised to hear that v o were married the next week. And iK'W'I am the viewer cf the colliery: and as for Nelly, she will tell yo?j that, though she has married a pitman, and has her roughs and smooths, like other women, there is no happier woman in the king dom. On one occasion, Lorenzo Dow, while preaching, took the liberty of de nouncing a rich man in the community re cently deceased. The result waa an ar rest, a trial for slander and imprisonment in the county jail. After Lorenzo got out of this " limbo," he announced that in spite of this (in his opinion) unjust im prisonment, he should preach at a given time, a sermon about another " rich man." I The populace were greatly excited and a crowded audience greeted his appearance. Willi great solemnity he opened the bible und read, " ?md there was another rich man who died and went to-;" then slopped short and seemed to be suddenly impressed. " Brethren, I shall not men tion the place that rich man M'en t to, for fear he may have some relatives in this congregation who may sue me for defc matiou of character."

" No, but I have been married." " Come in, then ; that is the same thing." Another defunct Bramin made his ap pearance just at this moment, and asked Bramah to let him, also, into paradise. " Why" said the god, " have you been in purgatory?" " No;, but neither had the last applicant:" "Aye, true enough, but he had been married." " Then 1 am as good, nay, a better fellow than he is ; I have been married twice." " Then clear out with you ; this is not your -destina tion : paradise is not r*" ae for fools."
