In one of the mountainous counties of Wales there lived for manny years a hermit, of whom no one had any knowl edge. His abode was a cave, in a wild re gion; and he never alpp)ear'ed among his fellow-beings except to obt:in such ne cessarivs as his hermlit life required. He would never, while livinlg, reveal his name, nor place of birth, nor the cause which had led him to seclude him self from the world. One day a cottle of travelers, passing thtrotugh tha1.i1t re:ion, v,isited the cave. and found the hermit not only dead, but in it state of decomposition. The body, after an inquest, was buried, and sonlc trnents and a few trilles, which belonged to the deceased, wore deposited at tIe nearest. magis trate's oflice, with a ftll statement of the facts. In a pocket of one of these garments was found a mlanueript, supposed to 4 hive been written by thoe deceased, and which, as it tells its own story, we here tra.nserihe wvithuout a word of' connnent: I was born in a year I slill. not re cord, in a place I sh..11 not reveal, and under a Iltunle I shall IIot disclose. For many long years I have been (lead to the world, and my desire now is that the waves of oblivion shall roll over mie and leave me as if I had never been. A And yet there are soene facts in my life which I wish to set forth. Why? Well, I doubt if I could tell anyone why. I only know that' the impulse is on me to write theta down, perhaps to de stroy the recordt wheti done. My youth passed.pleasantly. I ha( kind, intlulgent, ant pious par ents, who sought to make my life a hap py one. I was sent to school at an early age, and kept there till I had aciuitrcd a g:Il Eniglish edhiention. 'I'Then, at my own request, I became all underelerk in the large dry-goods es tablishmletnt of a prospe'ous merehant. By strict integrity and diligence I gradtitlly rose to a lirst position. At two-and-twenty I had the conli deneo of my employer, and was often invited to his dwelling. At first this mnatte me very happy. andi as I lookedl forwardi then, the fut turle semed very briovht. But, alas, and alas! this was the rbcginnine of a sorrow whlicht will never end whiTe I re mtain ont tearth. My employer' hadl a daughxter-a kind, gentle, lovely beinag-who, to my en.. raptured visioni, semied anl anigel just come down from P5aradise. - 1From the momentCtt I first beOheldI her my whtole soul went out to hetr, and front thtat time forth I coul conceive of no enjoyment in which she had nto pairt,. As I ant confessing Ihis to myself, or to a world that wvill never know me, I will say that I loved her to a degt-ee of wvorship whicht made hter a somIething~ above tand beyond my reach; andl though naturally easy and fluent in con versation, f could not speak to her with out chtanging color and choking, and appearing more like an idiot tihan a .man of sense. This made me avoid meeting her when alone, or pr-essing for-ward to take. my chance with those whio wvere seeking heri at every oppo)trtunity, perhaps be cause of a liking for herself, perhtaps bc catuse of a liking fotr the money she wouild inherit. I dJo not think she ever suspected me o(of having any regard for hoer beyond tat of hter beintg thte daughter of my emptjloyer-, whom I was in duty bonnd to ti-eat with respectful dieference, andt certain I atm that she had no conception of thte holy love and worshtip I secretly gave her. As I havo said, I avoidedt as much as possible comuing ins contact withs her wvotuld have gotne a mile out of lihy way rather thtant speak to her, and yet her p)resentce, mt my companty olf whtich I fortmed a plart, was a glogng joy, and - her absence a depressmng void. Among her ntumerouts suitors was at fellow-cler-k, who held a position of cont 'fidonce underoa ottr employer simtilar to mty own, anti who, whent wve were talohe togethter-, was always praising her sweet ntess and beauty, atnd p;roclahtning his ownl undyitng love. p"Oh, fancey thte goldetn momentt whten I shall be able to clasp her- dear little hand in muine, and call her by the pn d/aritng namte of wvife!" he would some timesM exclattm, or use4 wordls of similar imptlort; andit when I wvould as often turn aisie, t) (oncealt thet feelintgs that would itimost O)ov Cp r me, he would mis take my action for- a dislike on thte sub ject. -Alt,'" he one tiay satid to me, ''I per ceivYe my dar-hing finds no favor in yu sight; anud sihe knows you do not like hter; but for my sake, I trust you will not let her see thttt you absolutely hate the sight oIf her pertson1, and tihe nitention O,f her itnm." Tis to me, whose excess of love for thte object in qiuestion was consuming mn likeann inward II,o "Man!" cried 1, turning upon him with the glaring fury of a wild beast, "if you loved that being with one tenth of the passion that is destroying me, you would out your wagging tongue from your gaping mouth ore you would permit so flippant a nention of so sacred a name." He started, and stared at me, while I walked indignantly away. Did. ho understand my words? Did lie comprehend them in their . breadth and depth? Only so far, perhaps, as a shallow brain and a superficial feeling could reach, for he was one entity, and I an other. From that moment, however, he ceased to speak of her in my presence, and I, feeling that she was lost to mnc for over, only secretly worshipped her from afar. So matters drifted on for a time, and I became miserable over my solitary brooding; and while I wished myself far enough from the scene of a rival's triumph, I shrank from the thought of going where I should never look upon my idol again. One night, having forgotten some thing at the store, I procured the key from the porter attd entered the build inl1'o my surprise, I soon perceived the glimmer of a light in the counting room; and on approaching it cautiously, thinking there might be a burglar at work, I was still more surprised to see the safe-door open, and my rival seated on the floor, apparently counting a large roll of bank-notes. "Well, this looks like singular night work!" said I. With a startled cry, he fairly leaped to his feet, lotting the ioney fall aroud him,- and turned towards m' oie of the most ghastly races I ever itelieia. After looking straight in my face for a few moments, during which lie shook and -trembled, and his very lips quiver ed, he stammered out: "Wh-wh-why, is it. you? Vha-wha what do you want?" "Suppose in turn I ask you what you are doing with that open safe and money at this untimelv hour?" "Oh, that?" he an'swered, glancino down at the scattered bank-notes, anI evidently recovering himself with an effort. "la, ha!" he affected to laugh. "Do you know, my dear fellow, I took you for a burolar!" "Instead ofyourself, eh?" 'The fact. is, you see, my dear friend "Suppose you leave the 'dear friend' out?" I interrupted. "Well, then,'' lie coolly went on, "the fact is that, after going home, the idea came imto my head that I had made a mistake in lmy money report; and as the governor, you know (meaning our employer), is very particular about trilins, and might discover it before I should get achance to make a correc tion, I thought I had better.attend to it at once." "And doubtless you found an error, which you were about to set right!" I said, with a sneer which he seemed not to notice. "Oh, yes, I think there was an error; but I am not quite sure, because of your interruption, I shall have to go all over the money again. And now that I have aeeounted for my presence here, suppose you do the same,'' lie added, giving me a searching look. "Well, I came in to get " Here it occurred to inc that I, an honest man, was being interrogated by one who was perhaps a thief, and I suddenly broke off and added: "That is my business." "Oho!" lie exclaimed with a pecouliar look and leer. "And I came in by the pprter's key," I sha:rply continlued. "Aha! yes, yes. Just so!" "'And by wvhIat key did you com11 inP" "I suppose youl are nlot ignlorant of the fact that thlere is a private key?" he answeredl. * "Whichl belongs to the governor." "And which his daughter could get for nme." "IInving every confidence in your in tegrity." "At least she ought to have in her fu turie husband, you know." S Th'lis allusion to his comling marriage with mny worshipp)led aingel nearly drove nie wild. I controlled myself as wvell ats I could, andlt imerely said: "I hope you will find( your money af fair all correct, anld not have to tak< away oi' add anyting!'' 'hank you! I hope I shall!" hR blandly aniswered. I turn'ied away abruptly to seek whmal I camnie for and leave the building. .As I was about to (depart, im no en. viable frame of mind, hIe called out: "I Suppose you will report what you h.ave dliseovered, and as miuchji to my in. jur.v as possibleP" "lTobhab)ly you are now udi(ging mIt by youirsel f,'I angrily repi ied; ''bt t wil thank you to und(1erstalnd that I am too miuch of a gentleman to be a tale. ."All r'ighlt, then, and1( good-night!'' lht said. Heing~ too anigr'y to resp1onld I hiurr'iedl out and~i locked the door' without saying anot her word(. I retuirned the key to the pioter'; but ] dlid not meintionl to imi, nor to anyone else, thle fact of my1 having meot my13 fel low-cler'k in the b)uilding, unider' circum st anmees so (calcullatedl to excite sulspicionl of his being therce for' an1 evil purpose. In thi s 1 am11 nOW ertain I d id wrong; but I was youn1g thlen, without expeuru ence ini the evil wvays of muankinid, strict ly honest and honorable myself, anmd possessedl Itoo much('l pide to dlemiean myself to the 1(ow 'oindnitioni of a tale bearer. I reasonied, too, that if my rival had origuially desiguned to r'ob hiis empiloyer, lie would not dfo it aufte.r what had oc curred, and that I really had n1 o right to injure his repu)ltatioiinmer'ely bIecause lie had been chioseni frnomi all thle world by the fair being wh'lo was all the world to lIue. It wasi siomiethting like a miointh after this event, that I wals one day feairfully startledl anId shocked at suddenly tindI(ing myself uinder arrest for stealing Tmoney from my eminployer. Notwithstanding that I knew mhiysel to be entirely innocent, tihe very fact that I should be suspected of such a n1o farious transaction nearly crushed mit with shame. Judge of my unbounded amazemnt and horror, then, on being asured thai trunk, that the alnount of a thousand pounds bad been abstracted within the last few weeks, that my fellow-clerk and rival had suspected ime ever since the night (so h swore) lie had been me comitig out of the store, and that the porter had already given evidence of my having borrowed hi:: key to enter the building at an unseasonbale hour. I comlprehended at once that this was a most fiendish plot of iiy rival to get me out of the way and shield his own dishonesty, for he alone had robbed his employer, and profited by it. What could 1 do?' My statement of the fact that I had entered the premises for another pur pose was not believed; and when I add ed the whole truth of what I had seen there, I was simply regarded as a cold blooded rascal, who was trying to in volve atl innocent young man in my own ruin. All my previous life of probity went for nothing, or only stood out, white robed, to make my later acts appear more dark and damningr. Well, to be brief, I was tried, and convicted, and sent to penal servitude for a term of years. She, who was my idol, was present when the awfui verdict "Guilty" was pronounced by the jury; and I sJiall never forget the muournful look of pity with which she regarded ne for the last time, as she passed by in the felon's dock, leaning on the arm of my wicked rival and destroyer. Well, I was, as I have said, convict ed, and I served out my time; but be fore I left that place of misery and de gradation, I had the satisfaction of see img my hated rival there, in the convi't garb, justly brou^ht there Iby his evil deeds. After my release I learned that, his $ngel wife, my worsihipped love, had died of a broken heart. That was the end of life for me. All since then has been only the dull, dreary round of a mechanical existence, with no hopes no fears, no passions, nothing but the tired waiting here till the Master shall call mec hence. 1 an1 as one dead---I :u as one buried -and the world and all that live in the world are dead to me. . Why du I still exist? Because it would be very sinful to lift my hand against the lif% the Master gave me. Let Ilin work His will, how and when iIe will, and let me hu mbly how before the awful nv.stery that I catnot understand. ie, who has a lunrpo1se inl all things, placed me here for a purpo.se, aillieted me for a purpose, and will work out a purpose tirough my sull'erings; but what that purpose was, or is, or is to be, is known to Him alone. I only wait" for the end, and resign myself to say: "God's will be done on earth as in heaven." Pea Sanders. Old man Pea Sanders is probably the most notorious "inoonshiner" in north Georgia. He has been in Fulton County jail eight times on the same charge. We saw old man Pea on Saturday night's north-bound train. le was just out of jail and on his way home. The Toccoa people will appreciate the old man's appearance when we say that he would remind you forcibly of "Grip Scott." With an old, flabby wool hat, rim turned close against the corner on the left side and a keen, searching eye that was never dazed during his 76 years of life, old man Pea is the perfect image of some civilized independence. Nothinz abashes him. lie is a(raidI of neither man, womani, or beast. lie is an inceessatnt talker and loves to tell of his tr'icks on the irevenue oflcers. His latest d1odge. Juist before his last arrest an oflicer got ofi' the train at Bel toil, near which town he lives, and start ed over to 01(d Pea's hiouise. lie met an old man in the roadl.

"Is lie at 110m110" "Guess so; if lie ain't the 01ld 'oman~f is." "Good day, sir," said the officer. "Good luck to ye,'' saidl the old mani. The officer mirchied on to 01(1 man Pea's house. Old mni Saniders turned1 ar'ound1 as the oficer went on and tmuttered to himself: "Guess you wVon't find( him to day, mister." We sald to the old rman, "Mr. Sanders, do you intend to keep on moonshinuing?" Said he: "Theni fellers ill Atlanta axed me there and I told 'em I never made any rash p)romiises." "Guess, then, you mean to make someC more 'mlountain dlow.' " * 'Let 'emi prlove it if I do." The old1 mati seemed verly well satis fied with his impr'isoniment andl among other things said lhe had been "boarding at the United States hotel in Autlanter. They treated me very well, but I like or frozeO up in that cold1 specll." A youing flour merchant from Atlanta engagedl him in conversation.

A Japan correspondent. of the San Francisco Chronirle writes: One after noon in April I was strolling about the strects engaged in watching the in terestimg occupations of th epeople, when 1 met a young Japanese who Iad been elucated at larvard, and who ap preciatedt a slice oil' the breast of ia can vas-back duck and a tenderloin steak as >erfectly as "one of the manncr born." ilavino politely saluteld1 me, he re markeil: "I a ton my way to Alanoki's.

Finally sonic of his friemds suggested that a grand wild boar hunt he given at the Elysian Fields. The suggestion met with Favor, and the hunt was fixed for Moniday after 110011.

Scottvllle s a Kentucky town and is principally noted for the activity of the town hog and the lethargy of the town constable. I was the editor, water-carrier, wood-chopper anrd rent-dodger. Warner was publish er, book-kccper, fire-maker, pressman and refft-dodger. We did the most of our work separately, but in dodging the rent collector we worked with perfect cone('rt of action. Our paper was six mo1is ol wIenl it died. Under (lifle cnt conditions it niight have lived a few moments longer. Warner did not write anything for the Argus, yet ho largely Conltribuited to its collapse. ''his in the way it occurred: One day a prominent buSine;s manl presented 'Warner with a pair of brogan shoes: Immediately af ter my frieid put on the shoes I detected a foppish air about him. lie took de light in greasing the shoes with a line article of tallow anrd prancing in ily pr'esence.

"(Good scheein on hand." said Var ner one ('veling as lecamlle into the bedroomll) wht're our typt" settinlg, editing and presswork was done. "Wh'1at is it:' "Well, several parties here wlant to es tablislh a bank, amid they want 11s to ad voeate the idea. Vlhat do you say?" '"1 am opposed to banks, I replied. ''If a bank be started here it will da us "-fl'at's wle'e you're w'I)0ng. Git' failure thus far can be attributed to tht' fact that we've had no bank. Why,sir, just, t4iink of it. All successful ne'wspa pers, all great journals are published in towns where there are banks. If banks were not coultcive to the health of the newspapers, why the newspapers would move away. Now, what I want you to do, is to wr"ite am article in favor of the ba:Ink, urging the tact that our people take stolk in it. Well, we advocated the establishntent of tluhe ban11k, and the bank was estab hished. hortly afte'rwa;;rds, Warner, weari l"a thiek crust of melancholy, cane lta the olice, sat down onl our pine beal, :and, with :a si'rh, remarked: ."It was a iean trick.l' "What was a teau trick?'
