It is used in Wycliffe in this sense, "and they went their ways, one to his town, another to his mer chandise." A young woman teacher at Mount Sterling, Ky., has been notified by the Board of Education that she has been dismissed, as the Board meant to "higher a mail teacher. Joseph Dudley, of WaterforJ.

Not a few people in MaSine make at least au honest living by gold mining. Gold is found in m?any parts of the State, but in small quantities or under such circumstances as make systematic mining unprofitable. A "miner" liv ing near B~vron brought into Lewiston a few days ago a nugget of gold weigh ing over an ounce. He makes two or three dollars a day gold mining. SC1IE U AMD rN1)USTiUAL.

The rate of transmission on Atlan tic cables is eighteen words of five letters each per minute. With the "duplex" this rate of transmission is nearly doubled. B3y means of varied and exhaustive tests, a Swiss scientist has established the fact that not a single microbe ex ists beyond an altitude of 2000 feet above sea level.

After a spectroscopic comparison with the gas of clevite--in which ter restrial he!!um was first discovered M. H. Deslandres ann-ounces that the permanent radiations of the sun's at mnosphere that are not recognized on the earth are reduced to a single one.

AUDRETS LOVE STORY. OOD-BT E, A u d Audrey gave her handto Ned "Good - bye," r C &he said. "And y o u came the whole way acrese to see me again! Thank you." And then she looked at him, so tall and straight and handsome, real izing fur the first time just how she felt to Ned Norrowav. "I couldn't have gone without good' bye, Audrey." said Ned. "Yest.erda' and- last night, wit.h all the strangers about at the. picnic, gavo me no chance. Will yocu think of mie now and then?" "We shall all think and talk about you a good deal." They sat dowu under tho grap)e' vine. "I have great hopes of this jour ne," said Ned. "Uncle Edward promises by and byv t', take mes into partnersh.ip. Hie's very' wealthy and a bachelor ; a nice old f'ellow,i' Audrey. You'd like hio.' ''Should I ?" askcl Audrey,. think ig only that she ould like no one overmuch who h ad tempted Ned away from Bloomland's sloCp.' '"And l'm to board wiih him," said Ned, '"and we shall get on splendidly, I've no doubt; aul when I'm junior partner--" Jii:4 then a whistle aoundedl. "I shall have to run for A said No'] catching up his portunuttau. ''"' iCi good-bye again, Audrey." A vagu'e disap.pointmeOnt thrilled Adrey'; she had thought so muCh ; and ho had said so little. Just thoun he leant toward her. "O)na kiss at parting," he 'tail. Audrey drew back. She was no prde; she-would have given her lips to any friend leaving her, witho~.ut a thought o f wr on.;; but ahe coal I not even Ie. the man she lo-.ed. ikiss her ; it might beC a betrayingj ordeni, who knew? Everythin.; or nothin; for Ned Norroway, and he had never ut tere'd one wor.1 of love to her.. "Good-bye," sho said, and gave him her hand. And he took it and went a litle dashed, and just a l ittle wounded. When Mrs. Dew camne home she wondered what made Audrey's eyes so red. Oh, women's lives i how they glide on, for the most part tanAe3 in the mesh of little-things! 'There was the parlor to 'lust, ruffles to iuto and thet~ cake to hake; a blue bow to be made to wear with the white dlres.s; hand' kerchiefs to horm; aftern1oo'n to be spent at friends' houses; friends to entertain at home; a'book unrk to be made for the Bible; veryv important nothings to be done from dawu untii dusk; but through it all one thought ran--a thought born of mnadenhood's first love, as bright and. pure an I ten der as any ever sung by pod., thoagh she was but a plainly reared country girl and he a nobody with a hopeful heart gone out to seek his fortune. The time of ro'ses. passe 1 away, and1 grape time esmeo. Somebody---it was Tomi. tepper had had a letter from Ned, ,who was very well pleased with New York. "He's been to see everything," said Ton. "'A'ait ; it's quite what I call a historical kin-1 of a letter:, 'lreidlful interestin' ; want to) read it?" "I wouldn't mind.'' said Audrec. So Tom gave her the letter. It was a sewing circle at Mrs. Dove's, and in a minute more An irey' slippe 1 up into Mrs. Dove's be lrooma, andi there read the letter. .Just such a ibright any intelligent man could have writ ten; but to Andrey it was a miracle of genius, and above all, he wrote it. It brought to her a soupcon of his person and of his sou!. Un ler the shade of Mrs. Dove's chintz windo'.r eartalns, Audrey kissed that es-ter as mother's kiss their babies. Then sha came back to the parlor. "Smart, ain't it?" asked Tom. "What?" asked Audrey. "Oh! yes -the letter; very nice." AnA as she spoke, she would have given twentj dollars. or filty, all she had in the sav ings bank --money she had earned by making pot cheeses for market -all this little hoard would Audrey Dew have given just to have that letter for her very own. A week afterward she went to see Sally Slocum, and Sally exhibited her photograph album. Here was Uncle Silas and Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, all in a row, with their five children, and Aunt Tabitha, and "Ob," cried Audrey, "I didn't know he had had any taken." "Went down to the store one day," said Sally, "and there he was 'bnrnin' a dozen. Didn't reckon how't they favored him, he said. This here was jest scorched; I pounced down on it. 'I'll hev that, anyway,' says I." "'Lor'!' says he.'what d'ye want of that?' but I kep it. Think it liko him?" "When he's serious," said Audrey. "I said, 'That's your identical im age when you're in churh.' And what d've think lie said 'Reckon I'll Etay hum, then.' Lor'! it is the beat e)iest how people want their cards to look." She had viewed without envy Sally's new bonnet.; she had never coveted her link bracelets, but she broke the eighth commandment when she looked at Ned Norroway's photograph. I am sorry to say that she did not stop there. Next day Sally went out to see her Cousin Pringle. and about two in the afternoon Audrey Dew stepped softly upon the Slocums' front piazzi, slipped into the parlor window, and had the photograph album in her pocket in a minute. She dared not take Ned's picture out by itself, her guilty conscience would have filled her with fears of instant detection: but the theft of the whole album would never be laid at her docr. "Most singular thing I ever knew, " said old Mrs. Slocum, relating her e.t i.erience to friends afterward. "Some tramp or .somebody slipped in and hooked Sally's album. Sarched high and low, and couldn't hear nothin' on't; offered a reward and alJ, and giv' it up ; but about two weeks arter, here comes a bundle for Sally, and into it a album, bigger and better by two than her tothcr was, and on the first page the picture of her Uncle Si las-he's dead, ye know. All the rest she ha'n't never heard nothin' on. And who took it, and who sent it, I dunno, nor nobody." Nobody knew indeed, save one guilty girl. Cousin Ellen and Aunt Tabitha, and Mr. and Mrs. Johnson and their offsprings, had smoulidered into ashes between the covers of the book,-aud only Ned Norroway's face existed, cut round and rendant in a tiny frame rnd glass over Audrey Dew's foolish little heart. "What's that yoa're a wvearin' on a chamn?" asked Mrs. D)ew of Audrey. "Grandpa Brown's hair, ma," said Audrey. Watchmng and waiting wears 'one thin. Audrey was not quito as pretty as she hadl been, if bloom and bright ness make all beauty, as most folk think they do, and shle was conscious of this, and aware also that her new best dress was of an unbecoming color, when, at Ch?ristmaustide it wats known through the village that Ned bad come down to spend the holidays. Tihey met at church, and the rest of Christmas Dsy Ned spent with his old employer's family; while Audrey lost her appetite for dinner, and wishe.l that she had never been born. There was Nathan Prior, to be sure, doing his beet to p)lease her, and her cousin Jack, from Hampton, trying to cut him out; but her heart wats just as heavy as lead, and every smile was forced, and every word wrung from her lips. The next day Ned called. At the announcement her heart dutterc.l; then she ran to the glaiss. How ii 1y she looked! She went down to greet hm, full of this tho,ugii, and gave3 him a frigid and impassive haud1, and sat bolt upright on the 'nmolest chair. "You're not well, I'm afraid. Au drev,'' said Ned in judiciously. "Thank you, Mr. Norrowary'; I feei per fectly well," replhed Andrey. Ned bit his lip. "P?lease.nt weather for the season," he said. "Yes," said Audrey, "and such ai pleasant Christmas Day ! Nathan Prier spent it with us. and Cousin Jack. They are so full of fu., both of them! I never enjoyed myself so mub." "P'm glad to hear it,'' said Na and then in came Mrs. Dew, and Audrey lapedi into silence. Ned took his departure. Next evening they met at a little party, and Audrey, longing for Nets presence as beggar never l'onged for breL.l, turned her back on him and coti utte I with Nathan Prior. Ned waited on R~ ith Ha hom e-1 :who~ gave hi, escort to wretched little Audrey ! And then Ned was gone. The city swal lowed him again. Folks heard that he was "getting on." In August came his friend, old General Spradeil, to -enl-en the village with his co:n Spany. General Spradell called one 'eenin on the Dews, and in ten minute4 dropped his bomb-shell at Audry feet. "Wall, there's Ned Norroway goni and got married. Went to his wed ding a week ago. That's the paper, Miss Audrey- gals likes to read aboul weddin's; makes them think vf thei own-he! hel he!" "Du tell 1" cried -Mrs. D_w. "APd maried " "I don't see why any one shouh bs surprised," said Audrey. "It's tb natural fate of young men." "So it is." said the General. "I mean to try it some of these days ny ielf." Audsey took the paper to her roo, and read the notice of the weddingl "On the 1st of August, Mr. Edward Norroway to Helen, youngest daugh ter of Howard Hotspur, Esq." Therein, so sho believed, lay her world's end. "Mother," said Audrey Dew, a week after this, "you know Miss Eose al ways has wanted me to como to hei and learn millinery. I'd like to go. '5There ain't any neel of your pa'a daughter learning a trade, said Mrs. Dew. "But I could make our bonnets, and save a good deal,' said Audrey; and finally she had her way. She only wanted to let hLr heart breakaway from tender, watchful eyes. The farce of cheerfulness could be played no longer. In a fortnight Audrey went t New York to learn to make bonnets. She wrote letterii home to the cfect that she was very happy, and stitched Ia defatigably. and thought, and wept by stealth, and grew thinner and paler, and had a litzle cough. In fact, n on sense as you may think it, Audrey was dying of a broken heart. It was October, and the ennings were warm and golden at home, and the foliage gorgeous in its b-right de cay. In the city the fev trees were sere and somber, and all the gorgeoun ness was in the shop windows. About five o'clock one lay, when Audrey, who had been to Brooklyn, came down towards the ferryboat. thinking har] upon a subject which had tormented her for a long time-Ned Norroway's photograph. She had it still, and he was another womau's1 property. She was doing wrong ; she miust destroy it. Why not toss it into thc riv.er? Her hand was on the chain, she took a step forward. Just then, "Let metae your shopping bag?"' said a voice she knew. She turned her eyes that way. There stood three persons--Ned Nor roway, a young indy to whom he had] spoken, and an elderly gentleman. Au' drey dared no,t meet them. She turned toward the boat, not heed ingz her steps as she should have do nc-not nocticmng that the boat had jeft its mooring. "Stop !" cried half a dozen voices ; but Audrey had gone too far to d;op. Ini a second more the wat.ers had ingulfcd her. "Don't go, Ned," cried a young, sweet voice, and two hauds c!utched Neds arm. I"Let mec alone." cried Ned fiereely, shaking the fingers away with a~ jerk. And there were two figures in the dark water inst'ad of one, and Ned's voice cried in Audrey's ear, "Be calm. Don't cling to me, and I will save you." She was quite insensible, and Neil, dripping himself, carried her into house h-.ird by, and gave her over tc the good-natured Irish landlady, whc soon had her warnm and conscious ol this world .again. "She's quite herself, sir," said the woman, coming out to Nod, "and will see you in a minute. P've jist broughi her jewelry and things to you. I can' watch ivery wun in an' out." Ned took the glittering handful; pin, a little silver portmonnaie, and chain with a framed picture attached. In anmoment more he gave a cry. Hfo she came by it he could not guess, bul the face that looked at him througlt the blurred wet glass was his own1. Half an hour a[ter ward he war kneel ing beside Audrey, who reclinedl iu great arm-chair in the landlady's b,e room. "Thank God I saved you, Aud.rey," be said. "Life would have beer worthless without you, my hittle-dlar ling." M these words,weati as sne was, an drey started to her feet. "2Iow dare you," she said. "1on hve risked your life for me, I know, butt that does not warrant yo:i m zpeaking su. What hoe i. done tL ead you to, insunlt. m?" bid!"

"No," said Audrey. "And I may call you so a,;4in ?" She said nothing. He kisse.1 her. this time without asking for it. "Yes," said Mrs. Dew. a week aft'.r. to some gossip who r,ante-! "to ko all about it," "Ned au-l Andrew engaged." However, Mrs. Dew kept her gir secret in true mot6erly fashion, never told how, bursting into 10 farm house all aglow with rost; am; dimples. Audrey had begun he-r c-. fession by saying: "Mother, it wasn't -ur Ned who was married, after all, but his un!e." "Why, who ever tho.Lt i- wa.? J knew who the General meant," said Mrs. Ddw.
