I will try. and give it in her own words : "When you were a babe your fath? er's business was such that he was ob? liged to travel the greater part of his time, and as the family was small, he usually took us with him for company on his journeys. ''Railroads were not then as numer? ous as now, and we traveled in a cov? ered carriage, drawn by a span of no? ble black horses. "We had been in Georgia some weeks, and were now passing to Northwest Tennessee. Of course we were ob? liged to cross the Cumberland moun? tains, which lay between us and our destination. "The mountain passes were peril? ous, running of times by the edges of precipices, where there was barely room for a doable team to pass in safety. We were in such a place when some of out fastenings were broken, and we were obliged to delay our journey until they could be mend? ed. There was an inn about a mile farther on. whieh we hoped to reach before dark, but as the sun was already setting, and it was impossible to get ready for another start without some assistance and a considerable loss of time, we looked about to see if we could discover any signs of a human habitation, and we saw, about half way down the mountain side, a small, dirty-looking hut. ;" 'A rather po<,r prospect for a night's lodging,' said, your father, 'but better than none at all. A rather perilous descent, too, but we must get down there some way. I think, Hattie, yon had better stay here while I prospect a little." j" 'Very well,' I returned and off he went. ? ? "He was gone some time; indeed,, he was gone until the summer twilight had stol q like a gray mantle over the mountain side, shutting out from my \iew <<n6 little hut go far below me. I am not naturally cowardly, but I must confess; that I felt an undefined fear creeping over me as I stood there alone, save for my babe, with the precipice at my feet, ana the stars coming oat one by one in the canopy above my head* "At last I heard the sonnd of com? ing footsteps, and they served in a manner to dispel my fears. I saw two men were approaching me, one of whom I.soon discovered to be your father: the other I instinctively guessed was the owner of the hut.. M'ltis all right, Hattie,' said my husband, in a cheery tone. 'This gentleman is the owner of the house, down the mountain side, a little farther on is a path whieh is perfectly safe, and still farther on the road widens so that our carriage will not be in the way of any chance travelers. You will have to carry the babe while this gentleman and I lead the horses.' "In a few moments they were on their way, I following in the rear. "Twenty minutes more and we were at the door of the hut,, whose attrac? tions did not increase npon a nearer view. "A dirty-looking woman with a tall, wiry form and a sallow complexion, met us at the door, and bade us enter, scanning us meanwhile from head to to?t. "The glitter of her snaky black eyes sent a cold shudder through my frame, and again a feeling of undefined fear crept .aver me* My husbandi I saw, though he tried to Conceal the faot, shared my apprehensions, for he glanced ever and anon from the occu? pants of the house to the brace of pis? tols in, his belt.. . *: \"I tried to be calm, and sat down by the doorjwhile your father and our host went up the mountain Side again to see to the carriage, and our hostess attended to preparing the evening meal; but I could. not converse, though I tried to do so. The words I tried to say seemed to die away in my throat before I could give them utter ?noei A strange fear had taken pos? session of me, and it was only increas? ed when three rough men entered the hut, looking askance at me, and de? manding their supper of the hostess. "In a short time the host and my husband returned; "Ws were theh bade to come to sup Ser, and we took our seats around the irty pine table, where hot corn bread and med bacon were smoking. My companion ate a littlebut I could not eat, for the eyes of the rough men were filed upon us. "After supper was done we Were shown up to the loft, where we found a dirty, narrow bed add one or' tWo broken ehairs? " 'We manage to sleep down stairs,' Said our host, in a gruff voice. 'This is all the accommodations we have for strangers. It's ?oot eti??g?, ?ttt bet? ter than none.' "With these words he left us. "We then closed the trap-door, and commenced to examine our new quar? ters. There was only one window, and that was very small, not large .enough to admit the body of a man, and there seemed to be ho danger from that source. "The only way of entering was by the trap-door. Upon this we placed the bed, and my husband, who was very much fatigued, tnrfeW himself upon it,, and sank into a slumber. "But I could not even think of sleep, so nervous had I become. I took you in my arms and crept silently to the window. Grouching on the floor beside it looked out upon the night. * "I could not see a waterfall, though I knew there, was one near, by the music of its waters, but I could see the forms of five persons in earnest controversy a short distance from the hut. "By and by they came and stood directly beneath the window. I heard one say i " 'It is house talking, Jim, we need money, and we will have it. Them horses and carriage will bring quite a sum.' " 'Yes,' put in another, 'and I'll bet he has got the spondulux, too.' " 'He has a pair of pistols, too, gruffly returned our host. " 'We don't care for them,' said the woman'; 'we can nab him while he sleeps. It would be a pretty caper to let him go when it may be months be? fore we have another such a chance. The last? " 'Hush up your clacks,' said our host. 'I have heard enough of it. I have had enough of this business. If you want to rob the man do it for all of me. I sha'n't help.' "I waited to hear no more, but creeping to the bedside I awoke my companion from his uneasy sleep, and repeated the conversation to him. He arose instantly, and I could see that he was alarmed, though he tried to be calm. " 'If I had my ammunition I should fear nothing, but unfortunately that is in the carriage. My pistols, how? ever,, are loaded, and we will sell our lives dearly. There is but one chance for us. They are on the side of the house opposite the door. I will go Out and run as fast as my feet can carry mo to the inn. Meanwhile keep the door fastened until I return with help.' " 'And should they disooYer you while passing from the house, what then ?' I asked fearfully. " lI shall make some excuse for be? ing out, and if I cannot escape them I will sell my life dearly, as you must do if I fail to come to your assistance.' "And he placed one of his pistoh in my hand as he spoke. "He then moved the bed as noise? lessly as possible, and raising the door disappeared in the darkness below. I listened for a moment, but hearing no sound I closed and fastened the trap door, and then crept back to the win? dow, filled with fear and apprehension. "The five were still outside, but they had removed a few paces from the house. I could hear their voices in angry controversy, but the distance rendered their words indistinct. "The minutes sped on, and I was beginning to breathe more freely, when I saw that the disputants had arranged the matter and were leaving the place where they had been taiking. "In a few minutes I heard them en? ter the house. "I then left my stand at the win? dow and went hack to t;he bed, for I thought if they should try to force the door my weight might be needed to resist them. "I had scarcely thrown myself on it when I heard a step upon the ladder, and a moment after a shoulder was placed against the door, which, of oourBe, did not yield to the pressure. Then I heard a muttered curse and re? treating footsteps; then all was silent. After listening for some moments in breathless apprehension, and hearing no sound, I began to think that they had given up trying to rob us. Pres? ently I heard a noise, which seemed to come from the roof?a noise which sounded as if they were tearing up the thatching. I knew then that I must try to escape, or I should be murdered. "I listened for a' moment. All seemed silent below. The assassins were outside. I felt sure. I moved the bed quickly, and then took you under one arm. You were sound asleep; I was thankful it was so. "Carefully I raised the door and stepped upon the ladder. Down one, two, three, four, five steps I went: then my feet rested upon the floor. 1 had taken a step or two forward, when I perceived that a man was entering the door 1 "I was in a dark corner, and he I could not see me. I would be safe unless he should run against me, or strike a light; so t stood perfectly still. He had come in ifor some tool, I which seemed to be out of its accus? tomed place, for he muttered curses I ever and anon as he moved about the I room, "I cannot tell you how fearfully I I stood there waiting for him to make his exit. It seemed strange that he I did not hear the throbbings of my I heart, for I could hear them plainly. I "And you, my child, did not wake I during that trying ordeal. Ah! had you uttered one cry the i1 should not be 1. ere to-day to tell this tale, r "After a while he got; what he was looking for, and went out. ? "I waited an instant to be sure that I he was gone, then crept quietly from I the house. I did not know exactly where to look for the path that would I lead me in safety up the mountain I side, and I would have hid in the I bushes until the return of my hus? band, but I feared that you might [awake and cry, and thus betray my I whereabouts. I "No, no; I must climb the moun I tain, whether I could find the path or I not. So I commenced the ascent, I clinging to a shrub here, and a bush I there, making, however, but slow pro gress, for I had but One hand to aid me. j "But I gained a little now and then, and that gave me hope. I "My hope was doomed to be short I lived, for my would-be murderers had I found thci the loft was empty, and I had started in pursuit. " 'Curses On you, Bet I'; I heard one I say. 'If you had stayed in the house I and 'tended to your own affairs they I would not be gone now. Blast the woman !' i " 'Well, it ain't to be helped,' she replied. 'You just hunt the man, and I'll fix the woman ; they oan't be far off.' "No one knows how I suffered in that moment, with terror and despair. "If my husband should not come to I my relief .soon I should fall into the merciless hands of those wretched I people. I did not dare to attempt as I cending higher, for fear I should he I heard, so I crouched behind a clump of bushes, and breathlessly awaited ] what was coming. "The inert started tittt.in different I directions to seek my kusband, and I the woman commenced ascending the mountain toward me. "I knew this to be a fact, for I I could hear the noise ef their feet, and I their muttered curses, though 1 could not see any of them. I "The woman was rapidly nearing I me. but I hoped, that I would remain undiscovered, hid as I v'?s ?iri?ng the I bushes. I "Vain hope 1 It scarcely had birth I ere it died. The woman was well ac I qua in ted there, and was giving a thor? ough search. A moment later the bushes were parted, and a pair of snaky eyes were fixed upon me. ' "The woman gave a chuckle of sat? isfaction when she saw me, and she I muttered: j " 'The bird is here with her nest? ling ; the mate is not far away. I'll I cage her.' i "I did not know w'liat to Ab) I did I not even have time to think. ' "I crouched there motionless. One I hand kept my babe to my lap, while j the other, held the pistol, which I I still retainedi j " 'Will you come back to yo?? ??stj my pretty ?' she asked, mockingly. 'My hut is not fit for a lady, but it is I a better place than this. Come back with me I' "Never ! I exclaimed. lt will die first!' I " 'Won't hey ?' she hissed between I her teeth, and reaching out her bony fingers grasped me by my long hair. 'Come with me, or by the great grid? iron I'll drag you every;; step of the way.' "She did not seem to seethe deadly weapon that I held in my hand, or she would have been more circumspect. "Her fingers tightened on my hair until I could scarcely refrain from crying aloud. At last I felt that I could endure the agony no longer. She or I must die ! "I resolved to make another effort to escape, and acted upon it. "There was a quick report, a loud scream, and the woman lay bleeding at my feet, with her hands full of long, black hair, which she had torn from my head in her fall. " 'That vannint has killed our gal,' I heard some rough voice exclaim. 'Curse me if he don't bite the ground for it!' "It was no use of attempting flight now. There was no help for me. I would stay and meet my fate. "I could hear the rattling bushes and the sounds of heavy footsteps. I knew that one of those horrid men would soon find my hiding place, and I grew faint from fear and apprehen? sion. "Then I heard the trampling of many feet, and a low, peculiar whistle, as if of warning, which seemed to be answered by him who was seeking me. "I listened intently, and hearing the quick report of fire-arms, mingled with the sound of njany voices, I be gan to hope that aid had come to me. "I was not be disappointed, for auon I heard my husband's voice. "Hattie, will you answer ? Where, oh I where are you ?' " 'Here !' I cried. 'Come quick P "He followed the sound of my voice, and came with rapid bounds up to my side. " 'Thank Heaven !' I heard him exclaim, as I fell into his arms, faint and exhausted ; 'I have arrived in time !' "After that all was a blank to me, until I awoke to consciousness in the cozy parlor of an inn. I lay upon a couch, by the side of which sat my husband. The rays of a setting sun fell on a pair of pale, thin hands, which clutched nervously at the bed? clothes. In one corner of the room a woman sat, feeding my babe, which looked almost as pale as my hands. " 'Give her to me !' I exclaimed, trying in vain to raise myself to a sit? ting posture. . " 'Be very quiet, Hattie,' said my husband soothingly. 'You have been very sick. That night was too much for you.' "I shuddered as the recollection of it returned to me, and uttering a low cry I asked: '"Is she dead? Did I kill her V "'No,' he answered ; she is recov? ering Blowiy. Two of the men arc in prison, and the hut has been burned down. Heaven preserved us from the fate many a poor traveler has ?hared. Several human bones have been found in the ditches near the premises. The two wretches have confessed to five murders. No one knows how many more they have committed.' It was weeks after that before I was able to leave the mountain inn, for I remained very feeble; but ere I did leave three guilty wretches had gone to answer for their sins at the tribunal of the Most High. ' 'AH this happened long years ago, but I cannot even now think without a shudder of the night I spent at the mountain hut.". ? Mr. Olbatch?"I wouldn't marry for a million dollars."

A Long Chance, One afternoon as I rode along up the Clover Fork of the Cumberland river, I came to a very comfortable-looking house of three or four rooms. A wo? man was hanging out clothes in the yard, and I hailed her. "I'm going on up the river," said I, "and I'll be back this way about 8 o'clock. Can I stay here all night ?" "I reckon you might, mebbe," she replied, coming to the fence, "but I ain't so shore. ' "Why not ? I wouldn't trouble you, but I'm in a hurry andol want to get as far on my way back to-night as I can," said I, persuasively. "Well." she hesitated, "we hain't but the front room fer strangers, an' that's kinder bespoke fer to-night." "Why can't I divide with the other fellow ?" I ventured. " 'Tain't that. They ain't nobody goin'ter sleep thar." "Then let me have it," I urged. The woman's hospitable soul was troubled.! "Lokee here, mister," she said con? fidentially, as she stretched her neck across the fence so I could catch her lowered tones, "I'll leave it to you whether you'll come er not. You see, it's Bill Digginses night to court my darter Sary Angeline, and they allus sets in that room. I'm hopiti' Wil? liam an' Mary Angeline will hitch purty soon, fer William is the likeliest young man in these parts, an' I don't wanter throw nothin' in their way.

"But why can't I take it after Mr. Biggins has finished his call and gone home ?" She shook her head doubtfully. "You might," she said, anxiously, "but you see, mister, 3ill is powerful con,tinnerin* in his Way* an' me an1 Sary Angeline humors him, an' he don't giner'ly git started 'ell about 2 or 3 o'clock in the mornin', so ef you was waitin' fer him, you'd have to set out in the entry an' sleep in a chfier, unless you'd ruther take the haymow.

Of course, "them bein' " the cir? cumstances, I smiled my very best smile and told her I'd render all the assistance in ffly power toward the re? alization of her hopes. Darkness to Light* "I saw ?ti Odd sight in Luzerne Coun? ty a few days ago," said Eckley B; Coxe, of Drifton. "Six mules that had for four years hauled cars in the lower workings of a coal shaft, to and from the foot of the shaft, had to be brought up Owing to the flooding of the mine On account of the flrei The mules in that time had seen no light Stronger than the flicker of the little I)avy lamps the miners ? carried. The sun was in the zenith when they reached the surface, and the atmOsj phere was as clear as crystal. The astonished creatures closed their eyes to shut out the flood of strong light, and kept them tightly closed while they were being driven to a pasture lot, ? mile distant, and turned loose. There they stood trembling, as if they werfe afraid some? thing evil was about to befall them. Presently they half opened their eyes and peered around in open-mouthed amareraenti. It was clear they couldn't understand it. "When they had become accustom? ed to the sunlight they elevated their heads and slowly swept their gaze over calm piles, sky mountains and horizon again and again. Toward sundown they broke into a chortis of joyous Jrays, the like of which was never heard from mules before. "After a quarter of an hour of that music they took to kicking, jumping: whirling around like teetotums and [ rolling on the sod as if they had gone mad. For four days they spent their time gazing at the new sights of field and skyj refusing food and water, not even nibbling at the grass, and not as much as blinking an eye in -sleep."?? Philadelphia Times. S. S. 6, for sale by White & Wil Corsets Worse than Bom. Kinoston, N. Y., March 18.?At the semi-annual convention of the Ulster County Women's Christian Temperance Union, just closed, the hundreds of fashionably dressed wo? men in attendance as delegates and visitors were taken by surprise when Mrs. A. H. Huizinga, wife of a well known clergyman, in an ably and care? fully prepared paper, made a crusade against the wearing of corsets. She spoke of it largely fro a sani? tary standpoint. Sixty millions of corsets are used every year in the United States, she said. She pic? tured a woman of the present day in corsets, high, square shoulders, hour? glass waist, artificial and inartistic attire, incapable of making a single graceful movement. If beasts were so cruelly treated those responsible would be waited upon by officers appointed to prevent cruelty to ani- I mals. ( The corset is the curse of women, inflicting upon them even more injury than rum does upon* men. A woman with a corset is like a man who indul? ges in whiskey. The man is almost certain to become a drunkard, and the woman to injure her health by tight lacing. The corset violates at once the laws of good taste and the laws of health. It weakens the body, en? feebles the mind and dwarfs the soul. Hence, it is a hindrance to our best attainments and a defiance of the pur? poses of the creator. Painstaking Forgers. "Men try in everyway possible." said a prominent bank president, to obtain the signatures of the New York bankers. "Their object is evidently to use them in committing forgeries. At least we suspect so, and for that rea? son try to be as careful as possible in signing letters. "In this bank we have many letters from the West of such a trivial nature that we suspect an ulterior motive upon the part of the writers, and if we answer them at all do so by typewriter, even to the signature. "One forger or counterfeiter in Indiana is exceedingly systematic and persistent in his efforts to obtain the signatures of our officers. As regu? larly as the year comes around he writes, inclosing a $10 bill, and re? quests us to send him one of our new $10 bank notes in exchange. "He always gives the same reason for the request?that he wants it for 'his collection.' Of course that is nonsense. We believe that he wants a new bill so that he may discover if we have changed our officers and get their signatures. ; "He never does get them though. We always return his bill with a type? written letter on paper containing no names, excusing ourselves on the ground that we have no circulation outstanding."?New Yorh Herald. I A Reminder. "Small towns have their compensa? tions, after all," said an actor yester? day. "I've just been staying up in a town that boasts of four churches and stands badly need of them all. Three of the ministers have been roasting their congregations every Sunday for the last two months, and consequently they have drawn crowded houses. Last week one of the church wardens of the other church took the minister aside and hinted to -him that his ser? mons were too conservative. " 'We're getting behind the times,' he exclaimed. 'You must stir us up a bit.' ^ . "Last Sunday morning the minister opened up. A gatling gun couldn't have gone home to the congregation more effectually. Everybody in the town got trimmed, and by way of a climax the minister attacked one of the town's most questionable resorts. As the name of this place fell from the ' minister's lips one of the church wardens snapped his fingers and ex? claimed half audibly: . "So it was; so it was V "On the way out of church a man accosted the church warden. " 'How's that for a sermon ?' ex? claimed the man. " 'Great!' cried the church warden, (xre?t, my dear sir I I hope it will bear fruit.' "I say,' asked the man confiden? tially, 'what did you snap your fingers for? " 'Why, it reminds me that's the place where I left my umbrella.' " - m ? ? - ? Nearly every workingman in Italy wears a beard, on account of the cost of shaving.

The function of the negro's black skin is now supposed to be the con? version of the sun's light into heat. The heat thus generated remains in the skin, never penetrating to the deeper and more vital tissues. This being the case the African may prop? erly be said to be possessed with a thin and pliable sun-proof armor. This accounts for the curious but well-known physiological fact that the negro is able to stand almost any degree of heat without being in dan? ger from sunstroke.

New York is the third largest city in the world, London being the largest, and Paris second. ? "Did you ever notice," said an observant young man yesterday, "that men as a rule run down the heels of their shoes on the outside, while wo? men run them down on the inside ?" He was asked to explain the reason, but said he had no reason, as he only mentioned it as being singular with no means of explanation. ? A woman was summoned before a magistrate in Scotland for slander? ing her neighbor. She was fined a guinea, or fourteen days' imprison? ment. She paid her fine, and then asked the court, if a person risked im? prisonment for thinking. "Certainly not," said the magistrate. "Very well, then," screamed the lady, "I think just the same about her charac? ter yet!" ? A negro has been arrested in North Carolina for passing copper World's Fair medals for ?20 gold pieces. He bas man? aged to get rid of quite a number of them. ? Two men, one eighty years old, from Tar Landing, and the other eighty-live, from Sparkman, N. C , met at a country saw mill in Onslow county and indulged in a fisticuff, beating each other most se? verely. ? Ben Chapman, a farmer living near Balance, MoCracken county, Kentucky, accompanied by hie ten-year-old boy, mysteriously left home two weeks since, and has not since been beard from. What prompted the abandonment of his home and family cau hardly be con? jectured. ? A number of freaks in the lamb kingdom have been dropped in and around Raywick, Ky., this season. Mr. Rowan Dant has nine that are covered with red wool. Mr. Gus Downs has one that has only the two fore legs and feet. All hop around at a lively rate. ? John W. Woods, the leader of the Allegbaney county, North Carolina, lynchers, lor whom Governor Carr has offerred a reward, has a wife and nine children. It is said he is in hiding in the mountains of Tennessee. ? Fine carriages with rubber tires are said to be coming into use in the city of New York. These tires cost about ?100 for a set of four, and rarely last more tban one season, but they are a great com? fort to those who can afford them, mak? ing the'motion of the carriage easy and noiseless. ? The Rov. Charles R. Uncles, the first colored man ordained to the Roman Catholic priesthood in the United States, preached in Baltimore on Sunday, The colored priest was born in Baltimore, bis father having been an engineer at the phosphate mines on the Island of Navas sa. His brightness and quickness of perception caused the Rev. J. R. Slattery to take an interest in him, which result in his being sent to the Sulpician Semi? nary, at Montreal, to ha educated for the priesthood. He studied tbo classics there, but be completed bis education at St. Joseph's Seminary, in Baltimore. ? Capt Frederick V. Abbott, United States engineer in charge of the jetty im? provements in Charleston harbor, baa completed a new survey of tbe approach? es to Charleston harbor, which shows a marked deepening of tbe ship channel from deep water ontsldo to deep water inside the bar. By the eurvey of last December there was a shoal of oue thou? sand feet in width at the inner end of the channel and this shoal has been narrow? ed to about twenty feet. In December there was a clear channel of twenty feet and six.inches and in tbe new survey there is a clear channel of twenty-two feet and four inches. The scour of the channel is considerable and the work of deepening tbe channel is going on stead? ily and constantly. Tbe official survey ; shows that there has been a net gain of nearly two feet in tbe deptb of the jetty ship channel in three months. It is safe to say that by tbe end of tbe year ships drawing twenty-five feet can come in Charleston harbor at high tide with sev? eral inches of water to spare under their keels.
