Wing'* litt)? room, revealing all ito deficiencies, calling mercilcas at* I tcntion to the worn apoto on the carpet, j and contrasting with tho feeble fire in the tiny grate, whose handful of coals tn&do scarce any perccptiblo difference iu the atmosph?re of the apartment. Mrs. Wing herself, pale, and shabbily dressed, with a faded shawl wrapped around ber shoulders, was sitting close to tho uro, with some fine needlework in her hand, and Madelon, her only child, ?tooti opposite the tiny riirror, fastening on her hat. Madelon Wing was a tall, slight girl, with an oval face, large dark eyes, cod lustrous brown hair rippling around her temples, with that natural curve that whole grosses of crimping-pins cannot hope to rival. And as she stood there, the look of tender solicitude on ber. race nasde he? no -t.nlike a sweet-pictured Madonna. "Are you quite sure your head does not trouble you to-day, momma?" said she. "Because, if it (Iocs, you must not try to work on that lace (Jounce. Mad em'?el le Printemps pays you BO wretch edly, and if I can get a few more engage ments to sing nt morning concerts and evening soirees, there'll be no necessity for your slaving yourself to depth in thu sort of way." "My dear, it in pleasant occupation foi my lonely hours when you are away,' said Mrs. Wing, gently. "Mamma, that's a pious fiction," said Madelon, stooping to kjss her mother's forehead. "However, I hope we sbso'l bo so dismally 'poor much longer. Wasn't it nice, mamma, dear, that Mrs Leopold took such a fancy to my voici in the choir, and asked me loaing'AdesU Fideles' nt lier morning concert 7 It wn> the beginning of all my good luck-RIK now they tell me I am [retiing' to ho al the fashion at these social 'gathering!1 Ten HliillltigH an evening. We shall hi rich presently, mamma." Mrs. Wing's faded bluo eyes filled wit] tears. "Madelon," said she, in a low voice "do you remember how Uuy L'lvUrang used to admire your voice ?" "Yes, mnmmn." Madelon's voice lind grown hard, he lips compressed. "I have so often wondered, my chile why he nover replied to the note you lol with Flora Fortescue for him." "Mnmmn," said Madelon, with burn i og cheeks, "I have so often regrette that I wrote the note." "But why, Maddon ? It waa mere) a request to allow you to una bis name a a reference,, in ama you decided-to sece( a situation as a governess r-a simple at knnwiedgmeht of our fa?en fortuno and I think, as a gentleman-and ow too, who had always manifested extrem interest in you-he might at least lun answered lt." "Dear mamma," said Madelon, hu ricdly, "don't-talk about lt any more, wan morely ono of the long aeries < slights and insulta we have hean calle upon to endure since we lost our pro] erty. It hurt nie ht first, but I don mind it now so much." And with a good-bye kiss and a pre sure of the band, Madelon Wing left tl house to keon an engagement with Mi Geoffrey?, who had sont her a postal cat desiring h?r presence at Gerald Park i ii tk.t?? airs. Geoffreys was a rat old lady, wi I a profusion of flaxen false hair, a doub chin, audvcuough diamond'*) to make human ?trow window out of- her. "Yes," said Mrs. Geoffreys, elevatii her eye-glasses. "'You aro Miss Win tue singer, eh?" "I am Miss Wing," said Madelon, n without dignity, "and I ?leg." "YW ?4 Mrs. Geoffrey ; "my frien Mrs. Leopold, mentioned your name me. I proposa to entertain few frien next Friday evening, and I should li you to give us a song. Something boot or English, of the pathetic order, y know. ..I can sing 'Auld Hobin Gray,' " sa Madelon, quietly. "Yes, I think thnt would about d< unid Mrs. G.

"Madelon," said he in a low, impres sive voice, when they were safe in a se cluded corner, where a cluster of hired lemon trees made a sort of tropical seclu sion, lighted only by a hanging lamp, 1 "why have you left me so long in igno rance of your fate?" "Guy," she answered, unconsciously falling into the tone of old days, "why did you never answer that note 1 wrote 1 you ?" "What note?" "Th? note that I gave Flora Fortescue for you." His brows knit darkly. "i haiTo never received any note," said ho. "But she told me she gave it to you." "Then-bogging Mira Forlcscuo's par don for tho plain English of the expres sion-she told you a lie. I did not know where you were; I lind no means of com municating with you. Oh, Mndelou, Madelon! my heart ha?? been breaking for you these many months." "And-1 fancied you bad forgotten me," faltered Madelon, her eyes filled with blissful tears. * ? . ? * a "Are you going so early," said Mr*.

"I-I know it," faltered Flora, "but I have a violent headache, and the rooms aro so warro." "But Miss Wing it? to sing the 'Last Haye cf Summer' directly." "I don't caro to hear it," said Flora, making her escape by main force from Mrs. Geoffreys' hospitable importunities. But Miss Wing never sang thu "Lnst Rose of Summer' for Mrs. Geoffreys. When that matron carno to look for her young balladist to fulfil tho second clause of bor engagement, she was half way home, escorted by Mr. Guy L'Estrange. "Because," said tho young man, "I cannot rest until I have your mother's seal to the promise you have given me the blessed promise to bo mine." And tho drooping flower of Madelon Wing's heart was revived once more in Loves blissful sunshine. "And," gravely said BIr. L'Estrange, "all your singing hereafter must bc to an audience of one.

Ka Physiologie?! KrTeeta -lutereitliig Incident!, etc. HY HARRY KVELYN. I. Several yeiirs ugo a correspondent con tributed a pa|>er to a New York journal, in which be ?bowed from recorded facta, that the prevalent notion of safety from Attacks of lightning in certain places, os in a bed, under a particular kind of tree (notably thc beecli,) the supposed pro tective power of glass, etc., although gen erally so, does not always hold good, and that thora is no place absolutely safir while there is no method of dcterminin , winch way tho flash will come or where it will ?trike. Scieiicc must advance be yond it.s pren w Htago before we can lay down infallible rules for guidance in thin matter. His collection of facts demonstrated, lion ever, that there is something very mysterious in tho attacks of lightning on the bodies of both men and animal?. tfomc of the incidents cited by bim are certainly very curious. For instance, in 1772, Mr. Hearthly, of Harrogate, Eng land, wan killed by lightning while asleep in bed ; and incredible as it may seem, Iiis wife, lying by his side, wa? not even awakened by tuc shock. In 1828, lightning destroyed a wooden bedstead in a cottnge near Chi'-hester, throwing tho clothes on the floor, und with them a maltrae? and a person sleep ing upon it, without doing any injury to tho occupant of the bed. In 1780, two persons were killed at Eastbourne while standing insidj a win dow during ti thunder storm ; thc glass was reduced to powder, but the wood work of the window reniai ned uninjured. In 181'J, lightning struck the prison at Ribornch, and out ol twenty persons con fined in one apartment it attacked only a brigand who was chained around the waist, leaving the others unscathed. - In 18-41), during a thunderstorm, a lady raised her arm to shut a window in her apartment ; the lightning flashed, and n gold bracelet "socompletely-disapjieared, that not u vestige of il could be found," and yet tho lady herself was not hurt, rhe complete disappearance of the brace let is probably a bit of exaggeration ; the melting r.ithoul thu actual disappear ance, is credible ; for in 1844, a lightning Hash struck a fishing boat oil' the Shet land Islands, shivered the mast, and melted a watch in the pocket of a man sitting near the mast, without even scorching his clothes or injuring him. In 18/iH, a woman was killed by light ning near Auxerre, in France, and not a wound was found upon her body ; but a silver comb in her hair was melted - probably indicating the ?pot where thc death-stroke was given. lirydionc relates an incident of a lady whose bonnet was reduced to ashes by lightning, while shu was looking out of n window nt u tliunder-storm. The wire in the buiinet probably attracted thc electricity. In 1808, a lightning flush struck fl houso in a Hwiss village, in which (ive children were Hitting on a bench ; il killed tho first and tho last in tho row but gave only a violent shock to itu others. In 1858, ut Drome, in France, a light ning flash killed a youti? girl in a tarn bruise, but left untouched a child in hei arma. In 178T>, lightning attacked a stable n1 Rambouillet, in which there wore thirty two horses in a row ; thirty were over turned, of which tho two at tho extrem? ends of tho Ruo wero killed. In 1801, a miller nonr Chartres, wai walking between a horse atid s mule the two animals were struck dead bj lightning, while thc man escupo with onb HlTght Injury. In 1781, while th ree Frenen gentlemoi wore out riding, n lightning flash killel all three of tho horses, but only one ol the riders. In 182U, a boy was leading a mare oi a road near Worcester ; a thunder Btorn caroo on, which killed tho mare, but lei the boy unhurt. In 1810. while a man was sitting wit! his dog by hi? side, a lightning flasl killed the latter, but gave only a "ligh shock to the fermer. In 1858, while clergyman near Leatherhead, was ridioj in a carriage with two members of hi family, a lightning flash struck the drive from his seat without hurting tho othe parsons or the horses. In 1871, tho Austin, Texas, Gazed made this statement: "Wo have beeu shown a private lett? from T. A. Sampson, of Rino RlutT, Ai ktmsas, in which he relates a very extra ordinary circumstance of a negro preacb or, who was stricken dead by iightnin while addressing the congregation. An what is remarkable, on the succeedin day, when his remains wore carried to th grave, and whilo in the act of buryin bim, another bolt of heaven struck bl coffin, leaving his remains a ghaut! sight." No mentiou is mndo of any other pei sun having been injured on either octy sion. In the present state of science, rap! ns have been the strides in the varioc departments, physicists are unable to OJ F?lalo the why and tho wherefore of the; ncidents ; why ene should be token an another left in the same bed, aud tb nurso killed but the child in her am spared.

As he seemed to gain strength, however, he was soon taken to thc house ?cd made as comfortable as Kssible, but eight or ten boura elapred fore he was able to move either of his lower limbs. The left bip and leg seemed to be more affected than the right, sud the symptoms for a time indicated that thc bones were injured. But these soon passed away. The mark of the lightning was apparent from the shoulders to 'at calf of the right leg, In the shape of s broad, Irregular strip, from which tbs skin peeled off as though it had been scalded. The New York Medical Journal had sn interesting paper a few years ago on the physiological effects of lightning, iron which we gather some facts touching the Ereat ?nd cousuming best of this invisl le agency. "A thunderbolt has been seen," ?aye the writer, "to split a'ree without eren blackening it while it reduced to ashes a shepherd who had taken refuge under its branches." Abbe Richard says of another incident : "Ono man alone was killed and almost reduced lo dust, in the midst of many others who were under the saine tres." "Tb? most curious as well as the most recent instance is the following : "At Viseur, Aisne, in 1838, a thunderbolt struck a lime tree, under which three sol diers had taken shelter; they wera all killed at the samo instant; still, although lifeless, the three remained erect, as if the electric fluid had not reached them, theil clothing also appearing uninjured. Hut when they were touched they nil fell -so it is said-into a heap of ashes." These are remarkable incidents, but the Medical Journal regards them as suf ficiently well authenticated to illustrate the intensity of the heat of this element. Some opinions have been advanced b physicists touching tho nature of thi bent. Colonne says: "Tho fife of exhalation which forms the thunderbolt must bc so .-subtile and pene trating that it kills a man by drying in stantancously all his humors, without iu the least changing his figure. We do not pe :eive him dead until we touch him, und then we see him fall to dust." Groberg says : "It is demons;iniVd that lightning re duces bones to ashes, but norer to the state of fusion." Abbe Man Bnys : "Lightning reduces io a-?hes all parto oftholiumnn body without altering the clothes or the skin." Besides tho complete incineration of persons or of bone, and of the trees struck by lightning, it has also been found, ac? cording to incidents cited by the Aledioal Journal, that some inorganic Lidies hare been treated in like manner under the powerful heat of lightning, such as the following: a lady's bonnot, a man's shoe, except the wooden sole ; panes of glass in windows: a cloth covering shields which were fused ; a purse, the gold ?nd silver which it contained not being dam? aged ; the scabbard'of a sword; a large beam reduced to dust in the middle of a chamber closed and fastened on all sides, without any injury to ino chamber; the wood of a cask destroyed by lightning, etc. Strange as it may appear, this element Sosses.sc? a power the reverse of heat, leneral Comte do Maistre informs Dr, Boudin that some Sardinian Bailors killed by lightning :a the Mediterr?neas, pre sented all the signs of death by freezing. "This observation is the more remark able," adds Dr. Boudin, "as it recalls the congenlation of wine long ago noticed by tho ancients." On a mau struck by lightning tcward the back of the head, thara could bs found neither fracturo nor fissure, nor jet an alteration in any other part of the skull. The brain was also very sound, there being aione at the superior part cowjtaleii lymph, which had infiltrated into the folds of the pia mater. The young man thus killed remained in the Eosition ho was at tho time the thunder olt struck him? It ia remarkable that this element should produce Intense heat or freezing cold ; that it should kill in one instance without leaving auy mark of its power, and in another that it should consume to oshea.

Why, the mosquitoes ate up that coun terpane, and woy should I be charged with it?" Hotel keeper-"Of course you should. If you had been nice and fat the mosquitoes would have tackled you and let my counterpane alone !" - A buxom looking woman entered a dry goods store not long since, and asked the "gentlemanly" clerk to look at his calicoes. "What prints will you look nt?" inquiicd the clerk. "I don't want to look at no prince," said the young lady, "i had rather see a free-born American citizen than all the foreign princes you can briug out." Tho "gen tlemanly" clerk looked red in the nice, choked a little, and apologetically usked what kind of calico be should show her. - The London Times nays that Wm. Gale, an English pedestrian, recently at Cardiff completed the extraordinary feat of walking four thousand quarter miles in consecutive ten minutes, commencing each quarter mile at the commencement of every ton minutes. Although evi dently fatigued ho walked the last quar ter of a mile but one in three minutes and the last five minute*. Thousands of persons were present, nnd Gale was loudly cheered at the close. Medical men have examined him daily and re port that he bas diminished a littlo in weight. He is "backed" to perform the same feat in London. - The new convention between Great Britain and Ej?. 't for the suppression of the slave trade* prohibits tho export or import of negro slaves. Egyptian alnve traders will bo tried by court-martial aa assassins, and foreigners will be handed over to their own tribunals. British cruisers are authorized to capture slavers hoisting the Egyptian fing. The kh?dive engages to abolish all private traine in slaves in Egypt within seven years, and within 12 years io Soudan and tho fron tier province:!. - The reports of the famine in India grow worse every day, and are already appalling. The loss of life is even now estimated at haifa million, and great ad ditions to the death list is only too cer tain, while the pestilence which almost invariably follows in famine's track wiii doubtlesa largely swell the total. A pub lie maetfng at Madras appeals to private charity in Great Britain for help, and the government is ai last, and with apparent ly inexcusable delay, waking up to a re alization of the situation. TI- The Chinese merchants of San Francisco are reported as suggesting to Senator Morton a head-tax of i 100 upon all Chinese arriving in this country, to bs applied to the transportation homeward of such of their countrymen as wish to retorn. They also propose to get the steamship companies to charge "double the passage-money toward America that they do from it. If these men represent the so-called Chinese companies, they mean business, and will suspend the Chinese immigration and eventually ahip home the whole Chinese population. Senator Morton agreed to help this scheme by introducing the requisite leg islation in Congress. - The "working-men's party" move ment ls developing rapidly. Meetings were held in its interest on Saturday al Philadelphia, Columbus and Cincinnati, at each of which resolutions wero passed in favor of orgasiacs s S??T party. Thc cincinnati meeting wont on to nominate a full State ticket, headed by L. H. Bond ofthat city for Governor, with a Cleve land German for Lieutenant Governor, anda Cincinnati negro for school com missioner. The Republicano think, and .with apparent reason, that this move ment will hurt the Democrats more thar them, rad so counteract the damage dom by Judge West's demagogical speech which has alirmed a good many connu rv aljvo men of property, as well os the jusl started anti-Hayes movement. The leaders of this latter claim that it wil .?tko 15,000 voters from the Republican ticket, mostly in the Western Reserve but, demoralised as the Ohio people ap pear to be, it seems hardly possible tha an.ex-congresaion a 1 salary-grabber and i lot of disappointed office-seekers CAI muster 15..00D rji-sp to but their head; against the stone wall of ovents. - The fight io the Virginia Demo eratic Convention last week was an in teresting and important one, and the re B?lt is, on the whole, "tn occasion for rc joicing. The success of Mahone on hi own platform of avowed repudiutioi would have been most discouraging while Col. Hollidav gets the nominatioi oft/* a letter in which he declared natl; against repudiation, and gav o notice thai "if the people of Virginia are now re Solved to go back upon a renown hither! untarnished by tho repudiation of he plighted faith, they must find some otho than myself to do their bidding." Th r?solution of the convention on the dcb !|uestion waa imfbtically another victor: or the anti-repudiatloubjts. and indee? the Mahone: men. beaton there, and o their candidate, seem to have been ont able to say that their principal rival Daniel j should not havo the nominatior The party, will probably hang toge thc through this canvass, hut with a goo many ragged edges. The Richmon papers deserve great credit for thol manly stand, and have already won Bracteal victory, which a continuance t ?eir fight tor honesty can hardly fail t render complete. SHERIFFS SALE.
