"I will go out? take rao down to the door." ho said. 1 led him down stairs, and gavo him hlH umbrella and hat. Then I took mine and openod the door quietly, fearing to awake Edith. I would have accompanied him. but he refused, saying night and day were alike to him. and he knew his way along the paths and about tho lawn. "Oo back to your room and fasten yourself In." he said; "It Is our only security. Tap at the window to let me know that all Is fast. I beg you to do this." he added, earnestly; "you oannot understand the feelings of a man In my position?the torture of oonsclons impotency as you feel the apProagygg that you are powerless to way along tho wall of the terrace: "Cramped in a coffin, and the clods falling, fulling " I closed tho door, and returned to my room with a shudder. When I had fastened myself in I tapped at the window, ami Van Hoeck replied by tapping on tho wall below. The fresh air had revived mc; I had no longer to struggle with nn Irresistible drowsiness?the inclination to sleep was gone. I had my book to ilnlsh. but my mind was not sufficiently composed to road. As I walked about the room I thought of Edith and of Van Hoeck. wondorlngit thnro could be any connection botweon her strange hallucination and tho terriblo presentiment which night and day possessed him. It seemed as if tjiore must bo something abnormal In the'conditions under whicn wo lived, to produce an effect which, though characterized by different peculiarities, was in both cases Attributable only to a disordered imagination. and I wondered if I. in my turn, should come under this occult Influence. T *V\ l/?bi b?' ? " * * ? ...w.iv ! <> ? i?m:u occupied with the Bfioculatlon for half tin hour, when I heard a aoroum of terror that I could not doubt came from the wing In which Edith lay. In an instant I opened tho door una ran through tho corridor. Tbo doora In the picture-gallery wore open. As I drew aside tho curtains which closed In tho staircase corridor of tho loft wing, I saw 8ir Edmund j romo from hla room with a lump. Tho door r>f Edlth'a room exactly faced nls; it was wide open; all wus dark within. "What is it, my dear, what lb it?" ho | called, as ho entered the room. There was no answer. I followed to the door. Blr Edmund was J standing by tho empty bed. looking around ' him in hlunk dismay. "8ho Is gone." ho gaspod. "Tho door was j wide opon " Tho bod stood away from tho wall. I bade Sir Edmund look on tho further side. Thoro was scarcely room for him to pass ] between tho foot of tho bod and tho wall, but as ho lowered the light he said, In quick alarm: "Bho is here?unconscious. Ring tho boll for the women." I ran to the bell and rang it violently; [hen from tho stairs in the cross-gallery I called to tho servants to corns down. In tho meanwhile 8ir Edmund had raised Edith and placed her on the bed, whore she lay like one dead. From his room I got a spirit case, but wo ensw pot how to apply the remedies at our aand. anjjjt was an intense rel(of to'iis SlEililTatcJ lijp frfflTractBtied In. followed 'TiTT hou^F,.-W.^Tfl Th* TL'rffg tflfl ^?WR>><v'?reRi to tho door, and stood there trembling from head to foot. I had taken Edith's hand, and tho icy coldness of the lifeless fyigers that I had only known quick with warm blood chilled my very hea?t with fear. There was a long period of terrible suspense, and then I heard the doar voice murmur, and. my heart bounding with joy. I ventured forward that I might see the life once more in hor beautiful face. Sir Edmund stopped me on the threshold. "Thank Uodl" be said, forvontly. "she has come Inok to us; but tho women say she must be kept quiet. Go back to your room, my dear fellow, and we will tulk it nil over at breakfast - time. Good-night, goodnight." 1 returned reluctantly to my room. As I passed his cbambor 1 heard the Judge snoring loud and long. It noedod something more thun such tritles to wake him when he hnd a bed to sleep in. What already puzzled me was how Edith's door cumc to bo wido open when she hnd fainted in a quite remote part of the room. UHAn'filt 1A. What happened in Vdlth's room that night I did not learn until the next morning, but I will give her account in this place in order dow open and the blind down, exactly as on the preceding nights. It was her habit to lock the door, and that sho did not omit to do so on this occasion eho was convinced by the fuct that ahe found eomo difficulty In turning the key, and bad afterward tried llio handle to know If the bolt was shot. She left the lamp burning on the table, screened from her by tho lace curtains of the bed. It was poet cloven when she lay down, and she felt so little funr that she full asleep almost immediately. A pillow slipping from 'beneath her hen I awoko her. she believed, ller first consciousness was that her head felt uncomfortably low. the put her hand out to find if she hod slipped to the edge of the bed; but no.

Rho felt inclined to laugh, thinking how she must have tossed about in her sleep to knock both pillows out. But the bed-clothos wore perfectly smooth, tho bed on eaeh side of her even, soft, and yielding. That was strange! I must have done all the tossing with my head." sho said to hersolf. still tickled by the oddity of the thing. Ope thing was certain?she could not sleep In oomfort with nothing bnt a bolster under her head.

[TO UK CONTINUED. ] * llale ami Hartj at the Age or 115. ? A widow of a Revolutionary soldier j is still living in tlio Voiutilul and picturesque country of Valley River, in Q, Western North Carolina, at the advanned age of 115 years. The old lady, whose name is Elizabeth Boston, 1 is hale and hearty and bids fair to live a few years vet. J* She stateci, in a rocent talk with the writsr, that she was six years old when fl the battle of Kings Mountain was A fought (1780). Her husband was o wounded in that historic combat. ? Sh9 talks very intelligently, at times, t< in regard to the' struggle for national w independence. She remembers seeing E the "Red Coats" as she calls them, and a: also remembers the time when the V patriots raadn up a company iu hkn, a had three children, one of whom is f| still living. The old lady has lost her ^ eyesight almost entirely, but can ? recognize the voices of persons with whom she is acquainted. Her lmsband 1 has long since passed over to the silent majority. Tho old lady has always led a vory K industrious life, until her advancing b age has left her without much endur- * auce. She is still able to walk about I the house by the aid of holding to the ( chairs, and whatever she can reach to steady her. She has always been very I regular in hor habits. 1 Facts About Feet. The common unit of lineal measure, t a foot, was derivod from the length of t t lr r human foot. { In a man 5 feet 11 inches tall the foot measures 104 inches, and the middle toe , '24 inches. In Chinese subjects, the ordinary ' height being & feet, the longth of foot ' wag Olimliui Tho longest foot of measure iB that ' of old Turin, which is equal to 20 inches ' of English measure. i There was a time when not onlv each i ountrv, but each town, had a footmeasure of its own, indicating different i averages of tho different feet in various lot alities. Among a tribe of low-staturo Indians, whose height varied from 5 feet 1 inch to 5 feet 3 inches, the length of the feet was found to bo from 9 inches 4 lines to 9 inches t> lines. In order to get an idea of the length of shoe si/.es in inches it may be stated that a foot measuring 10 inches, with the weight of the body resting upon it, may woar comfortably a No. 0 shoe. A youth in the fc'outh Hea islands, H feet 7 inches in hoight, had a foot 1'24 inches long, his lower extremities I nomm-vl OO n,rkoa in niroOIR- I fercnoo of calf of leg 174 inches, and 1 h s ankle 10 inches.?Minneapolis I jiriuune. i Swift's Latin Puns.

The tornado which swept through tbiicitv hortly after eight o'clock left death and desilatiou in it* truck. Outside of the clearly leflael limits the citizens knew only of a leary rain, accompanied by a high wind. Soon cunio the alarm of fire from a dt am liileren". stations, and the horrors of the lalamlty began to dawn on the pe^p'.o.

The tornado struck th> southeastern portion of the oily at E ghteont b street, and iwept a path five blocks wide diagonally, retching Ui a ragged Hue to Bsveutli street. The buildings on Main street, from Eighth Lo Fourteenth streets, are in ruins, not one >f tue handsorau wholesale houses being left, ind alt the tobacco warehouses were swept sway. On Market street, Fills City fi>iII, a (our story building, was blown down wh.lo leveral Masonic and Knights of Honor lo lgcs were in s ssion, and on* hundred men and women buried iu the ruii.s Every other house on M <rkct, Jrlf-.-rion and Walnut itreots, from Tenth to Sixteenth, is in ruius.

Duly here, in all Scripture, is this city mentioned, hut it is forever made memorable by Ibis meeting of the Prince of Life and Light and the Prince of Harkness i who has thcjiowcr of death. The Son of God ! was manifested that He might destroy tho works of tho devil (I John iii., 8), and 'when lie has gathered from this pre-ont world His elect company of associate rulers He will I here reign till IIo hath put all enemies under His feet; the last enemy that shall be destroyed is death (1 Cor. xv., "35, 36). "The only son of his mother, and sho was .. niuun . ?iiu_ muni peop-.o 01 tlie city was with hor." The little girl whoiu Jesus raised to life was an only daughter (Luke viii.. 42\. and Lazarus seems to have been an only brother. Thoughtful readers will stop a moment to remember that Solomon's master workman in brass, etc., was a widow's son; so also was Jeroboam, son of Ncbat; a j?oor widow sustained Elijah, and another was com mended by Christ for her offering (I Kv . vii., 14; xi., 26; xvii., 0; Tnike xxi., IS, 3). ; Special words of comfort for widows are I found ill E.v. xxii., 22; Ps. lxviii., 5; cxlvi., ! 1>; Zccli. vii., 10; anil some day wo shall see inprc clearly into all these things. 13. "And when the TiOrd saw her, lie had Compassion on her, aud said unto her: ATeop not.

Ho lie also said in the house of Jairus (Luke ix., 52); aud to Mary after the resurrection He said: "Why weepest thou!-" (John xx., 15.) Yet He Himself wept at the grave of Lazarus and on the mount of olives and in Die garden of Gcthsemano (John xi., 35; Luke xix., 41; Heb. v., 7).

Israel at the Red 8oa had to stand still in order to see the salvation of Jehovah. Saul had to stand still that J Samuel might shew him the word of God. Israel had to stand still that Samuel might reason with them of the righteous acta of tho l.iord. And again did they stand still to see the salvation of Jehovah in the the days of Jchoshaphat (ISx. Hi., 4; xiv., 13- I Sam. ix., 27; xii., 7; 11 Chron. xx? 17). In the busy, overylhnr life, following the dead things of this world, we nre not npt to hear or see the words or works of the Ixird; although even there He is roady to meet us, and it is there we do need Him so much; but how thankful we should be for the day which kindly compels us to stand still, and for the week night evenings when we may stand stilt and turn aside to the prayer meeting or tho Ilible study to hear what He will say unto us. "And lie said: Young man, I say unto thee, Arise." Now when all is still and all eyes are upon Him lie utters just four words (in the Greek), but what powtr and meaning there is in them; and all becausoof Him who uttered them. They are the words of Him who spake and it was done, who commanded and it stood fast (Ps. xxxiii., (i-J?), by whoso worafof.he Heavens were made aud all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. Observe the "I say unto thee" which He uses so often, and in the sermon on the mount just fourteen times. Compare it with tho many hundred times repeated "Thus saith tho Lord" of the prophets, aud note its significance. Tho word "arise" signifies to awako as from sleep (see Matt, viii., 20- xvii., 7), and is used in reference to those who rose from the dead after His resurrection (Matt, xxvii., 52). 15.
