Afterwards, we all being seated, the chiltl having scrambled to my friend's knee with the confidence of an old friendship, ho told me more miuuteIv of "our fairy's" history and accident. " Yes, sir," she broke in, with emotion; "but he doesn't tell you that he carried me all the way homo himself; that he got a doctor and pah I hitu, and has helped to support me and l'essie ever since!" i Ann Alio' As ami' l'i.i..' ;:i.u.i i.n.i' ,,.1 ,.-,.,,1,1 wt,- tS nt ' " r.. 1 laniliord W OUI'1 S.IV , stow mat.

" With mv whole soul, I would!" I stayed a little longer; then, anxious j to learn how it chanced that I found mv I friend ami old college chum in such I hw straits, I rose to withdraw. I was unable to repeat my vi.-it for a 'fortnight, xvhen, on ascending to the landing, I found Jack there; his elbows I on the bal'..ster, 1 i!y ia his hands. lis head restiiv floom- ! ll.s lll.lti lisilll (.loom 'lln.lo, is it looking up. "Yes, it's- I. yon, I fk ?" he said, Iiut what 14 tho matfr?" "Just this. I have an engagement awaiting me at "York. I M.'of go; and --ami I don't know how to break it ? A Me. I can't leave her as h' is.'" I saw the good-hearted fellow was as agitated ami nervous as a woman ;it tin thought of making tho confession. encotirag.'tl him as well as I could, and together xve went into "our fairy's" home : certainly not a ho;ne of dazzling brilliancy, but very neat and clean. with its presiding genius as bright and ouv as a iiueen-tN-e. Ilather cluiu.ily Jack toM his news, I perceivi-.l the sudden vacant stare of the large hazel 4-ycs ; the mute pain .n the abrupt lv white face; the sibldeti ilpN'jung of the limbs. 1 perceived it all ; so did Jack. Suddenly rising. Jack took me by the I arm and led nu: to the landing j "(Io for a moment into my room, obi fellow," hf said. "I won't belong." "Jack," I said, eiotulatoriry, " recollect a woman never " ' Drit it " So i ntiirnint oil . "It's no good ; I can't leaTe her." He went in, shutting the iloor in my face. I waited on the landing. Ail was silent. A moment later he openid the door, with ''our fairy," happy and blushing do fairies ever blush ? leaning on his arm. "Hick," he exctaim'l, "when can you marry lis?" Well, it was a merry p:rty after that. Jack declared he. wuld have a spread to do honor to the uccasioii, for which purpose he went nut and returned with some bottled stout and a pound of ham, cut as thin as a leaf and rolled up in a newspaper. leaving "our fairy" to arrange th" table, he ami I were talking 4f 4lay gone by, when we were started by a sudden cry from our young hostess. Her cyt were riveted ui the greasy newspaper, her expression depicting surprise, doubt, blended with joy. "What is it, Alio?" asked my 'friend, rising. "Oh. Jack. Ja k." she cried, "look at that paper! I I am the daughter of Jane Loih r, who married John Worth, an actor!" Jack, taki.ig the greasy paper, read; then p.isM'd it to me, and I read good news. ( u talking it over there seemed lit'le doubt that the "Jane Iotlcr" was really "our fairy's" mother. She got the I'fooeitc. and I married them. Some years Hive gone I'V .-nice llien, , and tin l'.i-t time I saw Jack he was sit-' . t I inir iiio-ite Alio, who I. ...I l.....or .f him live Iiundied a year, at a dinnertable. sun oundt'd hv his relations, the ri' h uii' lf being in full feather, ami.

Our great railroad centers and entire State are r.ti-ed lo to 1 lo f.-ct in altitude. The whole cf somt" p:.rts of tlo' .ni"ont seems to be much higher above the x a than was supposed. One of the most interesting results of th" inveotig.it i 1 1 is that it shows our American railroad levels to be very accurate when long lines are considered. The New York Central and Lake Shore ami Michigan Southern Kailrotuls joined with the Illinois Central and Nouthern Kailroads to New Orleans make a continuous line of J level- l,."o4i miles hmg from New York I Hay. They rea. h the (Julfof Mexico I with :iii error of only two and a half 1 feet. I he two great independent line the I'nion Pacific and the Kansas I'aJ cifie I!ailr-:ids reach IS nvt-r with a dillerenee of only five fc"t. Sin h ac- , curat v in American leveling speaks w 1 1! i fi r our engineers. Tin cat. till tletermination of altitudes of high and ; low water at a number of points on the ( Hon, Mississippi and Missouri liners , is one of the most important contributions, establishing, as it d's, tlie ti tie j fall of these rivers at ditlereiit stages of 1 watiT, a subject of which our previous 'knowledge was very inaccurate. Mr. i tiardner closes with a list of altitudes of ! l.'io carefully located points, ill I especially interested in the paper will j find it in the ls-7.'.

We take from the article the following a-( niint of Indian worship nt daybreak : At the dawn of day the governor of the town goes up to the top of his hoti-e and r ails on the people to come forth. In a few moments the uper story of tin town is covered with men, women anil children. l'or a few minut4 s he harranguet them n Ihe duties of the day. Then, as the sun is alxttil o rise, they all sit down, draw their blankets over their heads and per r out through a lit tit ojiening and watch for the sun. As the upper limb appears alove the hoi i.oti ev ery person murmurs a pray i r, ami continues until the whole disk is seen, when the pravcrctids and tie pen pie turn to their various avocations. The joung men gather in the court about the deep fountain stripped naked, except that 4-a h one has a belt to l" h are attached bones, hoof, horns, or metallic In lis, which they have Wen aide to procure from white men. These they lay aside for a moment, piling'' into the water, step out, tie on their belts, and dart away on their morning races over the rocks, running ns if for dear life. Then the old men collr t the little boys, sometimes with little whips, and 4-oiupel them to go through the same exercises. When the at hlcics return, each family gathers in the largo room for breakfast. This over, the Women ascend to the tops of their houses to ill ess, and t he luell dep.i 1 1 to the fields or woods, or gather iii l'i'- kiv a to chat or wciv e. - . - -- The most iielusti i"iis man of the p'reseiit time is, according to llu- Iottdon J ,ti. ),nr, Moi it Jokai. editor of ti e Hungarian joiiu.al lln.
