His eyes were sunken in their sockets, his facew&i thin und white, and when he spoke it wf s not above a whisper, as ne was very weak. But tha physicians think that he is improving rapidly. Night after night Madam Keek: and Arthur, for he is still at Woodruf Hall, sat lip together. Oa retirirjg daring the day, while the other watched by the sick: man's bed. Lina was very miserable; she waa not eatiaSed with her work. What work? That Is a question I can not answer until I have investigated her strange conduct. She was not like the Lina of old; the rsses had faded from her cheeks, her eves sparkled with excitement, and her actions were eajer and nervous, like some one who was very anxious to accomplish some great work and mde but tlow prcgre3i. She wa3 never alone with her husband, which seemed to annoy her. 1 Arthur expected to return home directly after the Christmas holidays, but at the re quest of Dr. Thornton consented to remain an til Mr. Woodruf was better.! "I am going for a walk, Arthur, as I am very tired of this sick room. Will you go with me?" Lina ask?d In a low voice, scarcely aVove a whisper, but not so low as not to be distinctly understood by Madam Keek. : 'Certainly, Lina, if you wish it, and 3fadam Keek can spare me," answered Ar 6ur. "Of course she can; that is, if you are not nuwilling to leave her." "Perhaps I am, but nevertheless I will go xith ycu, since she gives her consent." Ihe cay was a very pleasant one for a day :n Jancsry. The sun shene out bright and varm. at in the western sky white, fleecy 'oud l!t by swiftly, gathering themselves rrHsX diri: t'.ud that xrill-coon hide the e.criou3 8jn, and descend to the earth in alard shower of rain, snow and sleet. Lina, wrapped in a henry fur coat, ears, lands and feet encased in wool, sauntered cut into the park with her lover. You are not like my lover of old, Arthur, fer you leldom give me a loving word now," taid Lina. 'I am growing too old for that." "I had not thought that one ever lost the ewer of distributing that which costs them so little, and is worth so much to the red pi ect.B "Besides, Lina, I think so much of your husband that I feel wretched at seeing him ill to long, and I sometimes fear that he will x ever be better." "If he does not get well, remember your r-roaise I do remember it, and feel very guilty as if I were only waiting this poor man's death to snatch that which in life he held most dear. Is it right for us to bs happy, yen especially, whcee husband is so near death's door?" "Js that a reason why I should be unfcarpy?" "You seem perfectly heartlets, Lina." 'We must all die one day, and now it Is 2iis Uro to return to Gofl the spirit He pave," replied Lica, without iLe least regret in her voice. 'Lina, whether you love him or net, you sre the first wouran I erer heard of who, ten freaking of a husband dying, did not cud a tear." "It is because I love yea, and will be glad hen I am free." "If jon ere not true to him, do you think 1 can ever trust jou, in case you are my wife?" "Yo can not do otherwise, for none could e nicre true than I mean to bs to you." "Oed grant that time may never come. I rn cctupflted to-retnru home to-morrow for j few tfajs; while there I intend to call upon i-s lltta. Perhaps my letter did not reach her " "Nonsens, Arthur; ehe would not thank 5CU for CiMnz, and she may think 1 am atxiotslohaie her return home." 4,Jf she savs anjtaia to that effect I will nfsure her of her mistake." "Yet I would rather you did net go. There can be no doubt as to her xscciving your letter. And has the not shown her character in i3 true light by not writing to her father for feveral weeks?' -yon may be right, yet out of respect for tr. Woodruf, I intend to louk after his daughter," he replied. . What if she refuses to return with you?" x I will plead with her for her father's ake, for the love she once bore him, for the tie which binds th6m together, and for the sake of the mother, who, when living, 'oved and honored her noble husband." "I hop you will meet with success. But ere yon war of the fact that when she enters the Hall, I leave it?" 'Can it be possible that your hatred extends to the verse of the grave? Lina, you must be more generous, more forgiving to this unhappy girl." 4Nerer more than lam now," she replied in firm voice. Then you can never be more to me than yen are now." , Arthur, Arthur, you do not know what you are caving. Do yoa want to drive me mad?" Do as I say and all will be well. Suppose . .jour position were reversed and the wsj

trying to separate you from your father.

Would yon yield as readily as she has to you? Oh! you do not answer me, your eyes are cast down, you recognize the wrong you have done. Is this my Lina of old, whose heart seemed to melt at the least suffering she saw or heard? If this poor girl goes to the had, it is Lina Woodruff who drove her to it" 'You are tellmg an untruth. I tried to be her friend, but she treated me with con tempt. Then I resolved to send her from Woodruf Hall, and I did it." "Yes: I saw with my own ere3 that you made her ltfe rabrable. What do yoa say now? Are you willing that she snail stand in her place at the bedalde of her dying father, and will yoa remain here also?" I once had the power to make you do &3 I wished; but no w I 8?e that it has left me end you held the balance of Dower. For your love I will endure everything. Yoa may brng her horn." In her name I than you a taoiaiad times." "It she knew yon were doin? so she would hate you for year kindness." How little she knew, or, knowinj, would not confess it, of the noble girl she was tryirjg to make Arthur dislike. Yet if she only knew how every word she uttered against her made htm love her and long to protect the lonely girl she would have kept silent, They had reached the hall, lain aside their wraps, and both went to ths sick chamber together. Mr. Woodruf ate but little, if anything, and that was prepared by Madam Keek, who Icoked very much out of place in the kitchen. On the following morning Arthur started for home, after promising to return in a few dajs. On arriving in the greit city, where everything is noise and "confusion, he went to the hotel, ate his supper and then repaired to the home of Mrs. Ham's. What was his surprise on ringing the bell to learn from a servant that her mistress had gone South to join her daughter. "And where is Miss Woodruf? Did she accompany Mrs. Harris? ' asked Arthur. "No, sir." Then where is she?" "That I do not know, sir. But Mrs Harris took Miss Meta'a servant with her." . "Is Mr. Harris at home?" "No, sir; he has pone to Europe to fiuhh his studies, and will not be back soon." "Where then can I go to gain any information a3 to the whereabouts of Miss Woadrnf?" "If she is not at her own home, I don't know anything about her." "ily God, can it bo possible she ha? ran away!" Arthur exclaimed sloud, forgetting the presence of the servant. "I shouldn't be much surprised, 'cause you are the second gentleman who has been here to inquire after her to day." 'Who was the other; did he tell yoa his name?" "Doctor somebody, I don't just remember. An' now I hope you'll excaae me, ail am in a hurry." "If she should return here, tell her that her father is very ill and asks for her continually. Good night," he said, and walked away greatly diapointed. Coujd it bepoisibla that Meta hid eloped with some one? Things did not look altogether right. She had. beyond a doubt, stsrted for home, but had never reached it this girl, so unused to being out in the world & one. Perhaps she had been betraved, drugged and csnied away for some foul purpose. As Arthur thought of this the large drops of perspiration stood on his forehead, and his brain teemed to be on fire. Arthur relnrneJ to his room at the hotel, lighted a cigar, and seating himself by the j?iete, was scou studying of what way he should pursue in order to find Meta. It was a great puzzle to him, but at last he made rp his mind to send a telegram to Mrs. Harris. He spent a restless night, for he had at last found out, and acknowledged to himself, that which he had never thought possible. He loved Meta Woodruf more than anyone else mora than Lina Mason. This was not a passionate love, tuch aa it had been for her, bnt pure and ftacred. Next morning he repaired ence mora to the home of Mrs. H&rria to ascertain the address of her stopping place in the South. After obtaining it he sent a telegram to her at once, and in the evening received an answer which contained nothine satisfactory. Walking down Fifth avenue to his hotel he met a young friend, who in the course of the conversatlen which followed, asked him if he (Arthur) had ever heard what became of the beautiful Miss Woodruf. "Why do you ark?" asked Arthur. "An acquaintance of hers eaid she had returned home; but I leant quite recently that she had not, and that her friends do not know where she Is." "May I ask who the party is who told you of this?" "A cousin of the present Mrs. Woodruf. By the way, I think it was that lady who informed Miss Lange of the matter." 4 It is only too true. As to the cause of it I fear the worst, and intend finding her if pcE&ible and restore her to her father." "I wish you success, Braden. I am in a huny; good bye." As Arthur sit in his room he had ample time to think et Lina Mason, the girl he had loved, and of Lina Woodruf, the false, treecberoos woman he was beginning to dislike so bitterly. Coold it be pbfsible.for one as pure and innocent as Lina Mason to beccme eo wicked in a few short year3. Ah! Arthur, a part of it is your fait. The beat part of her life was spent in watching, wait iLg and longing for you to return and fulfil jour promise. We know tnat you wera poor, and had never l?am-3d to work and support yourself; that when your father d.td you lived upon the email allowance.settled upon you by your uncle. Yet we must do you justice by eaylng, that after your uncle died and left you his large fortune, yenr fir&t thought was of the woman you could new make your wife. Icor Arthur; how disappointed he was when he heard that she wo married !o another. God elone knows the heart broken feeling of one who l03es all that seems worth livicg for. Knowing this, in His graat tueicy, eends the healr, time, to heal the wounded heart. LT ow great Uod is, and how wonderful are His works. As return and look into the sick room we ice Madam Keek alone, kneeling by the bedside of Mr. Woodruf, her hands claiped and her lips moving in prayer. Eight days bad glided swiftly by. Arthur was again at Wccdruf Hail, and it was in this position he found the woman in black when he went to pay his first visit to the sick chamber. He opened the doer softly, but bowed his head and waited untü she had finished before he entered the room. He could never forget that beautiful scene in the Eick chamber. The psle face uplifted to heaven, the while, marble like hands clasped and the rosy lips rrovmg iu prayer. "I be g your "pardon. Madam ; I hope I have net interrupted you," said Arthur aa she rcee quickly. "No, I am through. You perhaps think itetrange to find me praying here; bat. sir. I try to live a Christian life and to baa faithful nuree; to be this, I must ask God to aid rre," she said in a low musical voice. Y'ou are right. I often think I woali give all I am worth to once more have the simple faith of my childhood. To kneel down, as I saw you do a few moments ago, believing in every word I uttered." "I am afraid, sir, that instead of growing wiser as you grow older, you have grown Rcie iugranti fi0Q? fe to wi9a

God was scarcely known, except as a golden calf or other idol " "Ycu are wrocg. We must seek and find out for ourselvfs. Bat the mystery connected with God and His ways must be erlved before I can believe in Him. The more I seek to find Him, the farther away I seem to be from Him." "Study nature, Mr. ßraden ; it will teach you tbat there is a Supreme Bsing who rules everything " "I nave studied it, and I believe that nature is our God ; that thia worid is ruled by nature tloLe." And who is natar&'e Goi? Can she do her great work without an allpowerful hand to aeist herf Nntn:e 5 t- powerful; how -wonderful are hsr wuiks, i we leave everything to her care." "She is too rcugh: she ceedj to be glided by a mightier tower than her own, and that power is God." I wish that I csuld believe as you do, Maam Keck, 30U remind me so much of a friend of mine, Mr. "Wocdruf'a daughter." "Itdeed, sir; I feel tiittered." "che is a hdy to te admired by everyone. I feel very uneasy about her sudden disappearance from her aunt's home." Madam Reek did not have time to reply, as Mr. Wcodruf awakened and asked for some water. He was growing stronger very slowly, and was now pronounced out of danger by both physicians. As yet no discovery had been made as to the perpetrator of the crime which had almost terminated to fatally, and Madam Reek cow thought that she had dona wronz

in having a suspicion against . 3 Arthur avoided Lina us much ai p033!blo, which was not unBOtlced by her. It nivje her feel more fierce than ever, forshe siv and knew that he was gradually illpp'.ng away from her; that he loved her no more. Yet e be must have confidence in lie rt elf and bring forth all her charming waf 3 to fascinate Lim egain, for ihe must not lose him. But the must be free first. For has he not piomised to make her his wife Iben? Yt her husband is better, will soon be WtU again, she says to herself. The evening of his return to Woodruf Arthur spent in the drawing-room with Lina, as Mr. Woodruf was asieep. So, my Arthur, you did not find your lady bird V "Unfortunately, I did not," he answered in a gTieed tone, which told how disappointed he w xs in not finding the woman he loved. "I knew you would cot, for I heard sometimeago of her dif appearance." "Why, then, did you not tell me of It Dafore I went in eearch of her? ' "Because I felt sure that you would doubt rxy word, as you bo often do when I speak one word against Met?. I dare eay that yoa are now satisfied as to her true character."" "I can not but believe tbat she is a perfect lady one who ha3 been betrayed or stolen for t ome bad purpose." "You speak as if she were a child, instead of a girl of pearly eighteen." "She is not much more than a child. Lina, will you swear to me that you do not know where she is?" I will. Areyoueatified?" ' "I em, and feM sure that you are telling me the truth. Find her I must, and restore her to her father," he said, rising from his chair and pacing the fl ;or back and forth. Ehe is fortunate in having one who is almost a strarper to her take such an interest in her welfare," ehe eaid ecornf ally. 'I dc'not feel as if we were stranger?, and even if i did I should do all in my power to make emends for the wrong I have done your noble husband by entering his home as a friend, but in reality hin bitterest foe. Oh, ran it be pcesible that I have ever stooped so low?" Lica did rot answer him, ai she knew that anything she could say would only erve to make him d ilike her the more, and would not aid her in accomplishing her purpose. C05TI5UED MONDAY. The County Saperlntetidency. rCommunicated.l Washington. lad, Jan. 15. In looking over the bills introduced into tb.3 present Legislature of Indiana we observed one which provided that the County Superintendent cf Public Instruction should be elected by the vote of a majority of the people at a regular election, instead of being eppointed by the Township Trustee, as at present is the case. The present liw, as it now stands, was enacted in March, 1873, and has, with but' few excaptlons, given satis 'action to the public The practical enforcement ci a lav for a priod of twelve yeais without giving bat little dissatisfaction to the people is certainly incontrovertible evidenco of its expediency. Under this method cf election or appointment the cfiice ha3 net becoms strictly a partisan one. Superintendents have, generally, been appoint? on account of their elBciency rather than their political star ding. Counties can be died to wkerea majority of the trustees were Democrats, and in their selection of a Sapsrintendcnt a Rapublican was chssen, end where a majority were Republicans and a Democrat selected. Thus we see that under this systsm in tho great majority cf ihe counties of tho State the applicant who is fcest fitted for the placo is elected, and net on account cl his party standing. Again, the appointment takes place at a tiru of year when there is little or no political excitement. The trustees act to a great extent independent of party organization. An applicant is net usually opposed nor favored very fctrcnuously by the public gonerdlly. The fact is the masses of tha people of either party usually pay but very litt!e attention. 0 the appointment of the County Superintendent, so that when ha is selected, be he republican or Democrat, he has scarcely env prejudices to overcome occasioned by political bi&a. and he can enter upon his work with aa much influence over tha teachers of one party as those of another, and it is evident that thlsJtate of affairs is absolutely neccisary for a Superintendent ts do any gocd in the supervision of his cDunty. It is to be presumed that the trustees are better acquainted with the qual ideations of the teachers than anyone else. The duty which involves upon them cf hiring teachers will, undoubtedly, give them this information. Without it, as a matter of cours, tbey could not vote intelligently for such an officer. The ccet cf this manner of appointment is very Utile, bscause tha trustees must rcme to the county seat a'vmt the 1st of June to make a levy of tax for the ensuing year. The objections to the election of a Cjunty Superintendent at a rezular election ere cerfasnly serious ones, and if such a law were enacted it would certainly have a very deleterious effect on oar present pro3psrous scheel system. Among the objections to b9 noticed particularly are: (1) The S.iperintendent must depend upon a party fiht for his election;, (2) he will be cho3ea bv parties in convention rather with reference to his location in the county than his fitness. The Superintendent beim; placed on the ticket with the remainder of the county officers, will be expected to make a similar canvaes to that which they make. Every body is aware of whit that m?ns, He wUl

be called upon to make political speeches, to setup" jobs; to go over the county and set 'em up" to the boys, and many other things equally obnoxious in such an otficer. The effect naturally wonld be that he would incur the hatred of all the members of the other party, including teachers, and any one who hss had any experience in the line ot EHperintending the echools of a county we 1 knows that such an oSicer, however bard te may work, will have a very poor chance to do effective work with nearly onehalf the county egainst him. Thus making the question of the electiou strictly a prty fight, when every citizen's mind is arouvd by political prejudices, can have no other tendency than to leeen the respect of a respectable üinohty of the people for fauch au oiE cer. He wonld be nominated by a convention rather with referenc3 to his 'ccitiou in the county than his fitne38 for the oSce. The olüce would be placed about co ordinate with ' the hurveyora cllica. The most irrioriant clSc.s, such ib Clerk's, Auditor's, Treasurer's, Sheriff's, eta, wcr.ld be filled by men from different parts of the coonty. and, a is generally the casa, when the convention wonld get down to this effice it would find that some prt ot the county was not repreaen ted on the ticket, and in order to eatisfy that Bection and increase the fetrength of the ticket, Mr. so and so is placed on the ticket, not because ot his qualifications for the office, but because he lives in a certain township, Tac-39 evils are so rxacitestthat it seems that it should he but very little trouble for the intelligent observer t; discern them at a glance. Oth r ies Eona niiht be given for the inex-

p?dieLcy of thi3 bill, bat the abo?e wilt suffice for thf present. The rld law of appointment, tested for a period of twelve years, should certainly remain in force unless a bfitter method ot selection can be substituted fcr it. As stated, it haj in the V83t majority cf cases gmn tatisfactir.n, and is acceptable to the great n wority ot tho people, who alone practicilly fei-i the adm. nitration of it. Certainly h re a law has been in successful operation tor a number of years, is ja?t, and the pf opto rave conformed to it and ara satisfied urder its wtrkings, mi:g no clamor for it repeal, it is un"'" : supplant it with one that is mauifei inferior in it3 opnratiens.

J tried all kinds of treatment, but found nothing that fcitmed to afreet thedibe&te. I Su&lly decided to try S. S. S. cn advice of a physician, aud in a short time the tcibs dropped Irora tire sores and left my skin Eiiojth and well. I consider 8. S. S. the preßtest blood medicine made, and the only thin? that will cure tho dieBc with wMcu I was snlcted. I think my tiouble was the reauit of a terrible attack of maiarial fever, contracted while iaiming iu the Tallapoosa River swamp. I cm be fcund at my cilice in the court-house at Wetumpka.

At least not quite co close as the last Presidential election ' Your correspondent hal just ensconced himself luxuriously In a chair la tbe neat barber Ehop, No. 1,319 Morgaa street, St. Lo iiJ. and was siakin? into dreams, when the abjve qaotlia and the T"neoefcary answer broke the spell. "That election did go away down to the fkin, eir, and no mistaie," said Birbsr BowIe3, gently rubbing the creiray lather farouh the tough stubble cn my chin; "I had ha'.f a notion to put a dsn, 'election shaves,' outside of the door, tut concluded not to." "To change tbe cribject," fail I. "if tomeboly would invent an arrangement which would relieve a barber from the faturue of 6tandin?. and make him as comfortable as Ihe mau he is thavinK, what a blessing it would be to the profession, wouldn't It?" "I don't ask nor expect that." replied Mr. Bowles, but not long ago I had rheumatism la my baclr, and then standing up at the cbatr by the hour was to ugh work, fn la"t I hardly knew what I hould do. Ltnfmants? Oh, yes: I tried thesetbiaz in alltbefr varieties, and p'aateis. too, by the dozen. Good? did you ray? Xo, my trouble was too deep for tnem. Finally one day Mr. F. G. Daunitz. of Mastbrock's Pharmacv. ia th!s city, recommended Benson's Capciae Plaster. All mbt. Fays I, I'll try them, and so I did. Uelproe? Well I should say they did. Depaad on it there is something wrientiflc about those things. They quieted tue nain, warmed my bsc most pleasantly, and ia a short time made It elastic and strong as ever. 1 venture to say that no other external reneiy on earth caa comjK'te with them. Rheumatism has 301 to go wnn Benson's plasters are arc and. tay rum? Yea nr."
