RT LOVISE Pt PEE

Elizabeth Rare utteraore to littlehome-aic- k eigbs as the climbed flightafter fl trbi of tbe dark tiaira whichled iato ber loftj little room. Sbewas i deeplj absorbed ia berowa sad tbongfcta that sbe did notheed ibat tbere was aojbodj behindber, nntrl, sll of a sodden, some onestood by her side on the landing, and

; sbe looked np into the sensitive face, ot the young artwt who occupied thej opposite. lie lifted his hat with thecreaiesl ixjiiieoes, auu kciucu whave some desire to linger and saymore than good evening to bis prettjneighbor, wbo was so sot, sod loos-ed so lonelj; but Elizabeth, thoughber smile wss verj sweet, in someway diecooraged his effjrta to be-

come better acquainted, so be keptsilent.

It was a drtarv winter's nigbt, coldand dark, with the prospect of a coming storm, and this great citj boua-in- ,

crowded with mosicisns. artists,teachers, dressmakers, aad homelessbeings of all sorts, never seemed moredesolate to Elizsbetb. Still, SignorMorensi was drawing the blithestcarnival strain from bis violin, if aviolin can ever be said to give utter-

ance to b'.itbe music Little MissBrown, the mi liner, wbo o cuptedthe next room, was laughing meriljwith hsr mother at their earlj tea,which was mide over tbe gas, in alitt:e black tespot Yoing Mr.Sta'W the concert einrer, wa sing-

ing "0 loving besrt, trust o j I" in atruly toich'ng msnner, at the fur-

ther ead of the hi 1; anl the artist,Mr. Frank Wilson, had left this doorcpen, showing the brightest sal cos-

iest of interiors. A br ght fire wassnedling us scarlet radiance overpictured 'walls, and hve&tiog every-thing, even the faded furniture, theworn drapery, aad bits of statuary,with something like splendor. Bookswere strewn about invitingly, and aboqaet of flowers sent its perfume asa greeting to every one who ascend-

ed tbe stairs. Elizabeth's room wasnot like this, but a bare little place,uncheered by firelight, or anythingbeautiful except tbe face of tbe girlherself. An old piano stood iu onecorner, weighed down with classical-lookin- g

music; a few chairs, a table,and a sofa, which served also as aconch by nignt, were the only arti-

cles of farniture it contained. Theonly ornaments, one or two shabbylittle vases, and the framed photo-graph of a g womanEliz-abeth's mother, who died less than ayear ago. Elizabeth taught music.Sbe was all alone in tbe world, andthis little room was what she calledhome. Sbe took ber dinner at a res-

taurant, and ber breakfast and teashe prepared herself when she badthe heart to do so. Oa many occa-

sions sbe went without either. For-

tune frowned upon ber. Sbe had on-

ly been ia tbe city one year, sbe hadhardly enoogb pupils to pay her owabills for instruction; and now, afterall these months of tireless labor andexertion, of hope and preseverance,the great Signor Bonari, over at tbeconservatory, bad informed her thathe feared ber voice wonld never beof any service to ber. At first behad given ber much encouragement,and she indulged ia many brightdreams for the future ; bat now lifeseemed likely to be always tbe sameround cf think'-es- s drudgery, thispoverty snd loneliness. Mr. Wilsonlistened in vaia for a sound of berclear, sweet vtlcj this even ;ag de-

lightful to listen V, if Sigaor Bonaribad condemned it, though doubtlessjt was not of sufficient strength to beeffective on tbe stage. He bad form-

ed a habit of leaving bis dcor open,f,,r the sake of bearing it more dis-

tinctly and it was when be beardber aing "Robin Adair" and "TheLast Rose of Summer," at twilight,before it wss time to light tbe gasand work at these agonizing exerci-ses, and tbe operatic selections, thathe bad lost his heart He had hardly seen her then but some personsfall in love witb voices, as othersfall ia love witii eyes; and, as he hadjust been reading Tennyson, be saidto himself, "Please God, this is tbeone voice for me." But, quiie un-

conscious that her ringing had al-

ready made a conquest, Elizabethtoiled on, thinking nothing more ofber neighbor than that be had thepleasantest smile in tbe world, andthat it was no wonder that be wasgrowing famous ac an artist, bis pict-ures were to wonderful Sbe had aneye f.r color, and bis coloring, eventbe critics allowed, was almost equalto that of the bid masters. Andsometimes tbe wondered why he

in th.it dreary building, in-

stead of seeking something like ahome. Probably he was attached tothe room, however, be had, beenthere ao long.

It was quite dark by thia time,but Elizabeth, without removiog herthings or striking a light, threw her-

self on the sofa, and burst into a floodof tears. Never bad the worMseemed so dark to ber, never had sbefelt so utterly alone. For an houror so she remained ia this position,sobbing as if ber heart would break,when midenly tbere came a tap atthe and, thinking it was eithertbe jaaitor to .inquire somethingabout the sieam, or Miss Brown toborrow something Miss Brown wasalways or the boy whodid errands ia the building, who wasalways making some excise to cometo ber room, Elizabeth rose ajdOpened the door. It was the boy,and be brought her a Bote, sayingthat Mr. Wilson would like a reply.

fVVbat ia tbe world can . Mr. Wil-go- n

te writing to me for ?" shethought, harrying to obtain a light,that ahe might e the mystery. Itwas this :

It had euddenly struck tbe younggentlemaa. aa it was a very drearynight, and all bis neighbors werelikely to be at home, that a little so-

cial meeting would be highly agreea-ble ; and. as be bad jast finished anew picture, he bad invited a few oftbem to come into his room and crit-icise it, and spend a little time ia so-

cial intercourse. Would she be aovery kind as to favor him with hercompany ?

Elizabeth looked very blank indeedtt the finished reading the note, anda realizing sense of the condition of

til tbe small bou of the nizbt; andso all sbe could was to send berregrets, and ft very sorry overthem. It would save been eucn apleasure, such a elief, to spend oneevening away Jrora tnat gloomyroom, and in pie sant society : andcertainlr Mr. n pon was pleasant, ifthe others were rt so very agreeable.It was foolish to reep: it did notpay at all, and s would never doso any more.

1 be next mor ling jur. V uson'sdoor was closed but Miss Browncame ia to hare s Tittle chat.

"We had such aa lovely time inMr. Wilson's rooni last night!" shesaid. "He's a splendid man; andI've no doubt bat that he wouldhave invited yoa if he bad been moreacquainted witb too. We looked at !

his picture, which is beautiful ofcourse, as all his pictures are; thenwe bad a little collation, perfectlycharming, it was so daintily served.After that Mr. Harrison read aloud,and we talked aad laughed ia themost informal manner got nicely ac-

quainted, all of us, and here we'vebeen in the boilding together, someof us, oTer seven years, aad hardlybowed to each other before. Mr.Wilaoo was devoted to Tilly Clappall the evening. Well, Tilly ia pret-ty; but I should think he'd lookhigher for a wife. He took ber to aconcert the other evening, tbey Bay."

"Indeed," said Elizabeth; and, forsome reason or other, sbe wasstrangely disturbed that he shouldhave been so attentive lo Miss Clapp,and sbe commenced to think aboutMr. Wilson a good deal more thansbe cared to, "What was he to her?"she thought. To be sure, bis smilewas very bright when they met, asif he were pleaded to see ber ; and behad sometimes gone oat of his wayto do ber some trifling service, thoughthey bad exchanged very few words.FrobaWy he pitied her lonely condi-

tion, he seemed sacs a kind-heart-ed

man. '.

The next time they met be regard-ed her refwoachfuiryrnd bowed fa arather more distant manner thaa usu-

al; and Elizabeth, though she hadalways felt a strange shyness ia hispresence, sbe could hardly tell why,looked straight into bis eyes, whichwere unconsciously full of pleading,and made what he considered, atleast, to be the prettiest apology im-

aginable. After that they were con-

tinually happening to meet in thestreet, and Mr. Wilson would ac-

company ber home. Then one nighthe asked her to go to a concert witbhim, and Elizabeth accepted the in-

vitation, looking more like a prinoessthan a half-starve- d music-teaehe- r, inher old black silk dress, with trim-

mings of some rare old lace whichhad belonged to ber mother. Eliza-

beth knew bow to wear old lace, andattracted ae much attention by herbeauty and ber style that her escortwas decidedly proud of her. Lifewas growing a good deal brighter toElizabeth, in spite of her failure insinging.

Tbe days wore on, and St, Valen-

tine's Day came a bright, spark-ling day, all snow and sanshine andblue skies. I a the moraing Elizabethsang aa old madrigal, dainty anddelicate as dropping dew love inspringtime quaintly but so happilyexpressed not because it was St.Valentine's Day, sbe had forgottenthat, but because she was in tbemood. And Mr. Wilson, wbo badopened bis door to listen, when it wasfinished brought a little boquet ofviolets to ber as thanks. Then sbewent on her dreary round of lesson-givin- g

with a light heart, not reach-ing ber room until dusk. When shehad lighted tbe gas, aad removedher things, her eye chanced to fallon a letter .which the postman badslipped under tbe door, and on open-ing it, it proved to be a valentine.

Elizabeth was faiily overcomewith surprise snd bewilderment. Itwas a very gay affair, covered withbsge swollen roses aad corpulentbees; and tbe scroll containing thewritten matter wss gingerly held be-

tween the thumbs and fingers of tbetwo immense Cupids, whose out-spread wings covered nearly thewhole page. .

ire--f Liziie Will you wait forme, and be my wife !

"Your true Valentine,F. Wilsos

Qjlv-.bi- a aad nothing more didtbe srroll contain, but Elizabeththought it was quite enough, and tatdowa rubbing ber forehead, to besore that sbe wasn't insane. CouldMr. Wilson, with his refined tatebare sent her such a thiag as thisAnd, if he did so, was it not only infan? coarse, cruel, Qngentlemaolyfan it would be, to be sore; bat couldbe have sent it ia earnest ? She decided at last that it must be ia earnest.though it seemed so very unlike him.He was so fastidious, so reserved inhis almost lover-lik- e attentions Histaste was perfect too; and, oh thosedreadful pink Copids! those yellowand green and brick-re- roses! andtbe "Sweetest Lizzie !" . Sbe did aodislike to be called Lizzie. Andwhat did he mean by waiting f '

Elizabeth had only been oat of sconvent school for one year, and sheknew little of city ways. Those val- -

eatiaes might be fashionable, for allshe knew ; sack vulgar abao'ditiesdid become popular sometimes evenamong the higher classes. Bat thenhow did he dare to call her sweetestLizzie? and what aa unformedee boot-bo- y hand he wrote ia! Tbeother aote be had written her wassomething of a scrawl, she remem- -

than ever. And, when sbe saw himcoming op the street, oat of her lit-

tle attic window, she wished, oh !

8he wished with all ber heart thatshe hadn't sent that letter, in spiteof the piuk Cupids, aad tbe "sweetestLizzie," aad everything.

Two or three more days passed,and she hardly saw him at alL Healsvays kept his door closed now.And onte or twice when sbe methim io the hall he seemed to regardher with a look which expressed asmach f wotde.- - as aiTthiog elsebut then she ooly gUcced at him,and the could hardly tell how helooked.

Sunday came, and she went tochurch trying to forget her troublesia her devotions. It was a balmy,spring-lik- e day. Tbe sky was blueas summer. Sparrows were chat-tering ia the tree-bough- aad thebreeze was cheering, as if it broughtnews of May. Sbe crossed tbe Com-mo- o

oa her way home, and waswalking very slowly, whenehi heard'footsteps close behind ber, and Mr.Wilson suddenly appeared at herside, begging to be allowed to walkwith ber a little way. She bowedher permission rather stiffly, andwalked along with down-cas- t eyea.He was silent for a fw momenta,then, after a while, he begao

"Miss Acton, I cannot accept yourrefusal. There is some ' strange mis-

take about it some cruel mystery.I am going to ask yoa to marry memyself now. Before, some one musthave asked yoa for me. I cann--

possibly understand it, but I did notwrite to yoa."

Elizabeth's face flashed crimson,and then grew deadly pale. What afool she had made of herself !

"Yoo did notsend ma that valen-

tine ?" she said. "How very strange!"Your name was signed to it. I can-

not imagine what it all means.""My whole name, or only my ini-

tials?" he inquired. "But nevermind that now. I cannot wait untilyoa tell me whether yoa will consentto be my wife."

Elizabeth was silent, but her ap-

pearance was not discouraging, andbefore they reached home he bad wana faint and tremulous, but highly fa-

vorable, answer from the lady of bislove.

"Do let me see that remarkable val-

entine ?" be said to her that night,when tbey were wondering over the

'mystery.She. produced it, displaying the

lovely Cupid with a merry laugh."How could yoa have believed for

one moment, Elizabeth, that I couldsend yoa a thing like this ?"

Elizabeth colored deeply. "Whatelse could I think, with your samewritten there in plain black andwhite 7 I know no other F. Wilson.And who would dare to use yourname ia such a way? Then whatcould tbe motive be ?"

"Stay, Elizabeth!" he exclaimed,breaking into a sudden fit of laugh-ter. "A new light haa dawned uponme. Why didnt I think of it before?Why, the errand boy's name ia F.Wilson, too ; and hia devotion to yoahas long been a standing joke ia theboilding. Tbe mystery ia solved.".'

"Is it possible ?" said Elizabeth."I never knew his last name. I al-

ways called him Fred I have no-

ticed that there was something onhis mind for a day or two; and hehas regarded me in tbe moat sheepishmanner."

"Poor fellow ! I suppose be ia in adreadful condition. Bat cheer np.Elizabeth ! hia age is only fourteen ;and he is likely to recover from hispassion in a time.

ia of some considerable size, aadtbere are some very pretty houses iait, many built of atone.

Tbere were many stones ia thetbe road, and the people nsa them tomake fencea ot ;' they ought to makemore of tbem, or at least, that waawhat I thought whenever the wheelsstruck them, causing me to bite mytongue half of every time I opened mymouth to say a word. Jast think ofit ! It waa about sundown whea weleft Angels', and it began to growmuch cooler. We still rode ontill dark, when we drew npto the door of the hotel and got out,thankful, and not much dusty.

There are many bydraulie minesin operation ia sight, bat a short dis-

tance from the hotel, and on everyaide are evidences of soeh labor.

I somehow had thought that theCalifornia mines were ail things ofthe past, bat I find that tbey are es-

tablished on a still firmer basis thsnever before, aa they are worked bymen who are content to reap a rea-

sonable reward for tbeir work anddo not rash off to every new diggingsin search of what too often proved tbe a chimera.

The moraing after my arrival Istarted out for a drive around Mur-phy's to see tbe town fad the mines,some of which were in operation intbe very heart of tbe to wo. We rodeeastward to tbe school-hous- e, whichis one of the finest In the State, aadis surrounded by a grove of p:netrees all so regular in size and shapeas to remind one of tbe trees in theboxes of toys for children. We thenturned down another road and wentto a deserted worked out placer mine,where the little heaps or stone wereprincipally suggestive of graves overtbe buried hopes of wealth of hardypioneers who had once labored therethroan, despondency an1 despair;hoping, working aad waiting for thewealth that never came, till at last,heart-sic- k and broken from long dis-appointment, tbey left the diggings tomeet success or death somewhereelse. These mines, . though, allthrough Calaveras county have beenvery rich some years ago, and it wasthen a flourishing place; but aow itis, an the whole, a more substantialone than before, for what mining isnow done is by men who are contentto reap slower bat surer profits fromtheir industry.

The scenery about Murphy's is re-

ally beautiful; partly from the mountains and trees, and partly from tberugged chasms made still more so bytbe miners in tbeir search for gold.Ia some places whole bill-sid- havebeen washed away, aad tbe red earthcarried down tbe San Joaquin andStanislaus rivers, while for milesthe bare red rock U all that is left ofa ones luxuriant meadow, while oneach side are the round bouldershesped in long lines of pil-'- Thebed-roc- is full of deep crevices crseam, is to fantastic and weird in itsshapes that one almost shudderswhile looking at it, thinking of theold labariath ia which wers thetombs cf all the dead. We drove toone deserted worked-oa- t mine whichhad its own sad history, aad perhapssome of your readers might like tohear it, so I tell what 1 saw, sndbow the story weot also. It badbeen a hydraulic claim, and greatcliffs of red earth stood out in rug-ged relief against the rich green ofthe bashes which crowned it, sndhuge boulders snd ledges of lime-

stone were exposed to view in slltheir barren nakedness, for the gold-en soil faad been washed away fromthem long ago. I have seen rockson the sea shore and rocks crowningrugged ocean-be- at cliffs, but neverdid they give me tbe idea of such sin-

ister immovability as these, as theystood erect, grim and grand, whilethe earth had melted away like snoain sunshine, before tbe hand of man.It made ms think of eternity ; of howthe earth and all things earthly shallpass away, but Heaven shall not ; itmade me see ta a clearer light whatwas meant when said, "Resold theglory of Ood! All things dissolvebefore it"

The owner of that claim had comeoat here io early days, whea every-thing was prosperous, aad had work-ed without making more thaa a living for more than five yearaHe was sober sod industrious, servedto it by loving remembrance of homeand family; and be aver spoke ofthem ia the most loving manner; butall at once he had struck a rich veinof "pay dirt," and ia two monthswas a rich man. Then his longingswere about to be gratified, and bewas about to start for home andMary and children. Meeting aa oldfriend aad playfellow ia school day,ha stopped ; and fall of joyous confidence told him or his sadden lack,sad that he should start for homenext day. at the same lime biddinsrhim aa affectionate rood bve. whenha seemed to notice a deei sadnessoa his eompaaioa's face, aad kisdlyasked if the "world had used himhard, or what was the matter."

Going back to tbe hotel, Mr. Sper- -

ry told me of a ludicrous affair thattook place several years ago, and Iknow yoo will like to hear it. --Several years ago," said Mr Spetry, "Iwas keeping this same a tl, wnen ayoung early haired Englishman camehere and was taken very ill and soonbecame deliroua. He hated to takehis medicine the very wNt wy,andwould always fight aga i--t n aadsay he was not sick, and all that.

eH, after a few days and nig'its ofwatching, I was'pretty tired, aud onenight Colonel Lovelace came up fromdown below, and 1 aked bim if hewouldn't sit up till four o'clock andgive him his medicine.. Says theColonel, 'He has been taken verysuddenly, hasnt be ?'

" 'Yes,' said I, 'and bad, too ; hewill tell yoo he ain't sick aad don'tneed medicine, bat yoa mast makebim take it or he'll die.' -

" 'All right,' said the Colonel, 'beshall take it, if I have to chke itdown bim.'

"Tbe Colonel is a big man, weighsabout two hundred; so I felt sure aadwent to bed content. It so happen-ed that that vary night there hadcome op from below another littleeurly-heade- d Englishman, and hehad a room next to mine ; but I nev-

er thought bat the Colonel knew whoit was tnat was sick. ell, alter agcod nap I woke up to bear theColonel come stumping up stairs,with a lamp ia one band, and gostraight to tbe room of the one wbohad just arrived. I jumped out ofbed and looked through a crack andsaw him put tbe lamp on the tableaad take a match from his pocket andbegin to stir up the medicine. - TheEnglishman woke np then, and rosepartly op, saying : 'What do yoowant in here :'

" 'Keep quiet, dont worry saidLovelace stirring the dose.

"'What the devil do yoa mean?'said the little fellow, considerablyfrightened.

" 'I've jast got a little medicinefor yoa but it is good to take, allstirred op witb molasses; now takeit like a good fellow; I'll hold yoaup.'

" 'You leave here ; I ain't sick ; Idon't want your medicine. Yoawant to poison me. Now you'd bet-ter leave, I tell yoa.'

" ' I knew yoa'd say that: nowtake if Aad h-- e be grabbed tbelittle wretch by the neck, and beforeI could say a word he had choked itdowa hia throat. I hollaed, battoo late."

rtglB) a TMnAll bodies attract each other ; the

power of the force exerted dependingupon the weight of the body and theirdistanee from each other. Theweight of any body is in fact theforce with which the earth attractsthat body to itself. Tbe celestialbodies are all chained together bythis force of attraction. The sua andthe moon both exert aa attractive in.fluence on the earth, inducing ourplanet to approach them; this at-

traction being counter balanced by thecentrifugal force, we describe a carve,which is the reasltant of those twoforces. But the surface of the ea rtbconsists of Said and solid ; the form-er, owing to iu mobility, exkibite agreater tendency ta obey the attract-ive inSoence, and theraorw rises tomeat tha sun or the moon. Tbe son,oa seconat of his enormous balk, ex-ercises a much greater attractiveforce on tbe earth thaa tow moon,bat the solar tide is mach. less thanthe lunar tide, for this reason thattha moon being near tbe earth, at-

tracts the surface of the sea far morethan iu solid bed, aad, therefore, tbewater rises in a heap aaderneeta thesatellite. The son, on the otherhand, being so distant, exerts nearlyas niucn force on the suriace as onthe ocean bed beneath, and, there-fore, lifts np tbs water but vary little.Tbe identically same effect is produced a pon that part most distant fromthe un or moon, only in this case theocean bed ia drawn towards thosebodies more rapidly than the water.which is. in fact, left behind, n henthe sun and moon are either ia conjunction or opposition that is, whenthe line joining tbem passes in --theneighborhood of, or directly throughthe earth then, their attractive forces being united, the tidal wavs will beat tbe maximum, forming "springtides." If they be in "uusdratare''

that is, if the lines drawn fromtheir centre to the earth's centra forma right angle the the tides will beat a minimum, or "neap tide" wiil re-sult,' It will be evident, then, that ifthe earth were a world of waters.each tidal wave would pass complete- -round tbe earth in twenty-Soa- r hoars.The existence of continents materiallymodifies iu transit and it- - is drivenfrom iu coarse, and consequently retarded. Tbe great tidal wavs takesiu rise in the deep Antarctic ocean.As it traverses tbe ocean the wateris not raised above a few feet ; butwhen it enters a shallow sea, orestaary, where the tide finds itself ina sort of funnel, then the rise is some-times as mach as seventy feet, aa isthe case ia the Bay of Fnndy. Tbewave is not a wave of transmission.bat one of motion, snd if the particlesof water were destitute of aii cohe-sion or friction among themselvesthey would ooly rise into the sameplace after tbe attract!oa had passed.A wave of this asters is illustrated bythrowing a stone iato a pond ; thewsveleu expand from the point ofdisturbance, bat do not carry to theshore anything that 9oaU ea the surface of tbe water; sacn bodies onlyrising as it were to allow the wave topass beneath them ; thia proves thatthe water hsd only aa upward anddownward movement as it formedtbe wave.
