A Shower of Rain. 1) ow nt cane the rain in a pelting merel less shower. At one crossing a miniature lake had formed several feet in length and breadth, and tirce or four inches deep; its shores on very side were nud-black, slippery mud. It was amusing to see the hurrying pco ple drenched, chilled, uncomfortable, imi patient to be home come to a deA. stop at this one crossing and hesitate, with faces expressive of disgust and dismay. What chance had Ethel Thornton's poor little weary feet, so small, so miserably clad, in such a slough as this ? She glanced around despairingly. And the next moment she found herself lifted in a pair of strong arms, carried high and dry over the mud and mire, and set down on the other side, while the rescuer, raising his dripping hat, with a pleasant bow and smile, passed quickly on his way. She stood whtcre he had placed her as if turned to stone, following his fast disap pearing figure with her dark eyes; - her hands'were clasped convulsively, the coloi was flaming in her cheeks under her wet black veil. "It was Frank I" she gasped. "It was Frank himself, and lie held me in his arms and never knew ic." A quick sob burst from her lips.- 0 hard hard fate I to meet thus-so close-and part without a word I H[er lover-her promised husband of one year ago. Just then her foot struck against some thing hard. She stooped and picked it up-a large pocketbook. 'Frank's1" she said, quietly and hope lessly; then she wiped it tenderly with her handkerchief, pressed it to her lips, and slipped it into her bosom. As she did this, she threw her veil aside for the tears and rain together nearly blind edl her. I doubt if Fi'ank wvouild have recognized her, even if he had seen her face--it was so worn and weary looking, and stained by the wet black veil. . - ot much resemblance there to the pret ty, pfjiant, blooming girl whose love ho had sought so eagerly a year ago; not much in Iher appearance just, now to tempt any man to woo her. So thought Mrs. Benton, the landlady, as she let her in, and stared aghast .put her utterly drenched condition. Glad indeed was Ethel to reach the qiet of her own room-glad of the cup of tea her mother gave her.-gladi to lie 'down and rest. She grolled blindly to her little desk and put the pocketbook away. - "To-morrow," she whispered ,to herself -" his address will be 19i;idd--I'll sendd t hack to-morrow." - Then sinking wearily on 'the bed, she murmured: "Mother, 1 feel so atratngely. I wielu; now-that I had taken-youir advice, nd stayed hempe, to-day-" Th le words came fafntly, in low, broken gasps, from her parched lips.' She lay there without #p~elking for sdo time, and thon articulated: "I failed again.-a-no work-no hope-no Her eyes closed, hier' voice ceased, she fell backc, burning and shivering.- The poor child hadl contgrgeted a 'serious illness in that merelless shower of rain.

PIl advert.ise in the papers. Confound that shower of rain I" "Three weeks mamnima ? Three weeks lying here delirious? Why, what could have made me so ill? My head is so st range-I seem to forget everything." Mrs. Thornton gazed anxiously on the girl's wasted face-almost as white as the pillow on wh!ch It lay. "You got badly drenched and chilled. my love, in a shower of rain-" 'A shower of rain ?" The weak voice rang out clear and strong -the dark eyes flashed excitedly; she clasped her hands, while a vivid crimson suddenly (lied her ciecke. "O) I remember it all now. Please reach ic the desk I" Then she told her mother her adventure in the rain, and drew out of the desk Frank's pocketbook. "Three weeks ago. In all probability he has needed it. We must open it, mamma, to find his address and send it back to him at once." Mrs. Thornton looked pityingly at the flushed, eager face and trembling hands. She shook her head doubtfully and sadly, and said: 'You love Frank still, Ethel- -now don't you?" , No reply lin words, but the poor pale face was hidden upon the pillow with a great sob, and a little thin hand stole into the mother's, pleadingly. Mrs. Thornton caressed the hand and put it to her lips. "If he were worthy, dear, I should say nothing, but lie abandoned you, Ethel. 0 child, where is your pride? You are hop ing against hope, my daughter. It would be cruel in n-- to encourage you? Mr. Merrifleld could have found you had he wished; our address was left for all who might inquire for it. Ile has not even written to you since your fortune was lost. I remember well that his last letter arrived just as we were going to your cousin Eth el's wedding-that was just a week before our trouble came." Ethel made no reply. H1er face was hidden again, and sobs shook her slender form. Mrs. Thornton continued: "Would that you had never seen Frank Merrifleld I He forsook you in poverty, and even when the far greater sorrow of your poor father's death came upon us, lie gave us not one sympathizing word 1 0 E tiel, think no more of him, but rather try to reward the true and devoted love that has proved so true a friend to us. Dr. Jones has been like a son to me through all your sickness. Surely in time to come you will get over this Infatuation for one so un worthy, and reward a devoted love as It d Berves. " Ethel looked up wearily, "I don't love Dr. Jones, mammna, though I esteem him, and I am grateful ; oh I very grateful for all his goodness to us both. But I shall never love any man but Frank I Some day I will tell the doctor so, and then--if he chooses to accept esteem and gratitude-I will for your sake, mamma She stooped, and quite broke down In a stormi of sobs and tears. IHer mother soothed her, and presently she became calmer. "Don't let us talk of it any more,"said sheP sighing. "Let us find Ihis address andl send him his pocketbook." So they opened It ansd examined Its con tents. Notes, bills, memsoranda, receipts, a con siderable amount of money, but no address. At last In an Inner p)ocket they found a letter, and In it a photograph. Ethel took It out ; it wva her own picture. "Mammsa, mamma, look here," and the poor girl's tremblinig fingers clutched at a scrap of newspaper that was fluttering to the gr'ound. "0, what Is this ?" Bending their heads together they read the following notice : "Married.--On Juno 4th, at Grace Ulhurch, Hfenry Rollins, Esq., to Miss Ethel ThornMton. Immediately after the cere mnony tihe bpppy couple startel on a bridal tour."* Mrs. Thornton looked up In bewIlder mont. "Why, what Is that doing hsere 9" said ls.

The next instant Ethel was clasped in her lover's arms. Who shall describe that meeting? Suffice it that they were as happy as they had lately been miserable; all misunder standings were cleared away, and love and confidence returned "And as soon as you are strong and well again we will be married, my darling," said Frank. 'Thank God for the storm!' cried Ethel, earnestly.

Lenox amid Perry have for some ttne been in the mountains at the head of Magpie, Montana, getting out timber for a large stable. The moun tains in the vicinity of Migple were recently set on fire by a party of pros pectors, and the fire raged over quite an extent of country. About 3 o'clocc on the afternoon of the 14th tilt., Court Sherifr's wagon and team started down the canyon loaded with fence poles, and a few minutes later Leon and Perry followed with a heavy load of hewn timber. They had got fairly in the canyon when the wind suddenly increased to a lively gale, and before they could realize the extreme danger of their position the whole mountain was in flames. PuttIng whip to their horses, they commenced a race for their lives. To turn back was Impossible, the mountains rising almost perpendicular on each side of the canyon. Their only hope lay in outstripping the fire, which was now at their very heels. -Judge of theIr suir p~ri se and consternation on discovering,' a fewv rods ahead, the- wagon which had precded them completely blocking up the road, the driver having abandi~oned it to save his horses. What wvas to be done now must be done quickly. Perry was on the point of giving the horses the whip and tearing his way through, but the Colonel, with' the cool head of an old1 soldier, auiggested throwing off the loadof fence p~olcs andl clearing the road. Bloth act to wvork with a willl, and in a few seconds hadl the poles uin loaded, the wagon uncoupled ,and tumbled dowvn theside of the mountain. The roar and eraekling of the flames and the booming crash of falling tim ber was suflcient to striketerror to the hearts of oldIer mountalnders than those who had only been in the country a few months, So exhausted were they with the Intense heat and the severe cx ertions of the last few moments that they had barely sutfilelent strength to clamber on the wagon and again conm menece the frightful race. Tihme lire 1in meantime hiad got shiead of them, and putting the whip to their nowv maddenied horses,thiey began runninug the gauntlet of tire. Trees wvere fallin~g In all direc tlon's around them ; the atmosphere was thick with smoke and impregnated with the fumes of' burning pitoh, nmk ing it alumost suffocating. Moth faces were LoginrIa.uito wear the picture of despair. All hope of' ever getting aufely through had almost died within them, when Perry chanced to remark that the Colonel's wife that night would probably be a widow. The words acted like magic on the Colonel, who, rais ing to lis feet with a "not by a long sight," began urging the horses to re newed- exertions with the end of a binmding chain, the horses literally tear ing thiior way over fallens trees and burnt timber for a distance of half a mile, when. they emerged into a small clearing whore the fire had taken a turn and again gone up the mountain. With the exception of some slight damage to the wagon and a few bises them selves, they arrived safely at the Feh'ry 8o far is it from being ti'ue that hmen are naturally equal, .that no two people can be half an hour together but, one shall acquire an evident superiority over the other. - Time goes at' its'own gait,'end you Mahnote Eastii it by~ using the "spur of the momlente" You mayv tAA n friend to "stop a minute,"1m~t neithor vani nor ho hna the nnwar ta do its A Itomantle Story. The rolantie vilissitudes of the early life of the Countess Solange de Kramer hiave once more become the talk of the Parils silons, and they are, indeed, so eixtraordinary that, used as miaterials for a novel, they would spoll the )ook by the lack of verisimilitude. One night in 1891 a little girl abolit one year old wits deposited in the driwer of the foundling hospital at Brest. She was dressed With iichii finery, an,1d a note attached to her skirts, told that her nalne was Solange, and th'tt sit. would be reclaimed by her father. The claim wias never made, however, nd In i duo tine tie hild wias transfei *'ed to tile orphan asiumu, to be edue ted there. As she grew up she devel ed a most excraordinary beauty, but I I intelleet appeared to be very weak, I id site silf feredi from frequent nervous -i. When sihe was twelve years old s! i was sent out into tile streets to sell ',>wers, and her beauty and modesty attr cted m11anv people's good will, but sho @-ew weak er and weaker, ad at las ilhe died. According to French custoil sihe was buried in all open casket, anfl, as It was-8 winter and tile ground was 1rozell, she was laid In tile grave and on ly covered with a thin layer of sand. l)uaring the night she awoke, and, ptshing the sand away, crept out fromithe grave. Not exactly understanding 'what had taken place, shte was not so cery iuhell frightened, but crossing th glacis be tween the cemetery and th.$ fortilnea tions, she was suddenly stoliped by tie outery "Qui vive," and, as sheldid not anl swer, the sentinel fired, and she fell to tile grutind. Brought into the guard house, her wound was found to be very slight, and sie soon recovered; but her singular history and also her great beau ty had made so deep an impression on i young lieutenant of the garrison (Kra lwer) that lie determined to be 1her pro tector, and sent her to one of the most fashionable educational establishments in Parts. During the next fev years Kramer was much tossed about by tile war, but when In '18 ie returned to Paris, lie found Solange a full -grown woman, r.ot only beautiful, but accom plished and spirited, with no more trace of intellectual weakness or tner vous fits. fle married her, and for sev eral years the couple lived happily in Paris. Mean while' investigations were. imode concerning the girl left, in 1801, in the foundling hospital at Brest, and as these investigations were made by the Sweedish ambassador, and in a someowhat offilial manner, they attrac ted sonic attention. Captain Kranier heard about the affair, and sent a note LO the inbassadoi', and, a iontih later Dn, tile anbassador, camue in state to bring Mmic. Cramer a formal acknow edgement from her father, the former General Bernadotte, the present King Charles XIV., of Sweden.

Both climate and landscape are subject to rapid van From the glare of an overpo n one mtay enter the cool shade of a.tropical garden, with the' murmur ot water trickling past as it wanders A~dng the groves of oranges, figs and pg4ns. The bare treeless plain may be changed in a very short space for pine forests of magnificent trees; instead of iand and dust, we trample on bracken tern by the side of ril Is and torrents running In steel) gorges. Tihe climate changes from great heat to chilling cold. We have noted a daily variation of 50 de grees of temperature; after calm, clear morning, with the distant hills appar ently close, suddenly a *Mndy' hurri cane, accompanied by a' thiek haze, comes over the island, and ;iqts out the view. In the landscape it is the same. There are no gentle sloper; the hills all rise steeply from the plains; the vater courses run in deep beds, cut through alluvial soil and rock. These signs show the island to have been visited by heavy tropical rains. After the Winter of 1877 the great Messarea plain was a lake of water and. slime. This Winter there has been barely five inches ot rain fall-hardly enough to make the roads muddy for a fer(hours. There is no doubt that the resources of the Island are great, if properly de veloped. It possesses a very fertile soll, capable of growing almost any thing if carefully cultivated and irri gated ; without water, the hot strocoo wind<4 from the cast soon dry up any vegetation. Irrigation, however, Is not a dificult matter. On the plain, water is found almost everywhere at from 18 to 20 feet deep; and along the hillsides there are many springs and rivulets that run to waste throfh the Inertness of the people. Thde1-Would willingly paya handsome profitTor the water if it was brought to them, but iave not the capital or eoterprise to make the required aqueducts them selves. A few windmill pumps on the plain irrigate a farm suffleintly to make It independent of lack of rainfall, and for the production of crops and trees that require watering after the rainly season Is past. The Hindoo Women. Thte 111ndoo women when young are (elIate and beautiful, ao fir as *b can reconcile beiuty with the olive com plexion. They are finely proportion ed; their limbs small, their features soft and regular, and their eyes bright and languishing, but tihe bloom of beauty soon doeays, and age makes rapid progress before they bave seen thirty years. This may be accounted for froim the heat of the climate and the customs of the country, as they are often mothers at twelve years of age. No women can be more attentive to cleanliness than the Ilindoos; they take every method to render their per sons delicate, soft and attractive; their dress Is peculiarly becoming, consist ing of a long piece of silk, or cotton, tied round the waist, or hangifg in a graceful manner to the feet; it a after ward brought ever the boly in negli gent folds; uinder this they cover the bosom with a short waistcoat of satin, bmut wear no lineni. Their long black hair is adorned wlith je wels and wreaths otfldowers, their ears are bpored in miany places, and loaded with jeatris, a variety of gold chains, stringe of pearls andl precious stones, fall from the neek over the bosom and tihe arms are covered with bracelets from the wrist to the elbowv. They have ' also gold and silver chains round the ankles, and an abundance of rings oni their fingers and toes; among those on the fingers is frequently a small mirror. Th'ie richter the dress the less bpecom ing it appe~ars, and a Hlindoo woman of distinction always seems to be oyer loaded with finery, while the .yi lage nymphs, with fewer ornameita, but in tihe saume elegant drapery, are' Noro captivating-athough there ed very few wvomen even of the lowed~t f~mi lies, who have not sonle jewels #t. their marriage, In these external 'deYora. tions consist the pride and pleasui'e of these uninstrueted femaled ; fdt Very few, even In the best families, know how to read or write, or are capable of intellectual enjoyment.
