AT PORT CAR A DOC.

(Chicago Tribune. fy It began in a eommon-place, every-day way with a basket of early peaches ? which (fcorge Randolph sold and delivered to Mrs. Sanders, who kept tho boarding-hot)ite on the hilL There were five boarding-hou. in Port Caradoc, not to mntioa the great white hotel on the cliff, and ars. Sanders' was the best. Even in a dull season, which came occasionally to Port Caraloe a it does to other places, ; "Sanders' " was nearly always full, and from the first of June till the beginning of September Mrs. Sanders herself was, aashe expressed it, niost run off her feet." Every one knew that at "Sanders' " were to be had the browaest of new-laid eggs, the sweetest of home-made bread, the richest ', of cream,' - the i reddest and ripest of tomatoes. , Mrs. Sanders knew "how to lay her hands on the best of everything,"- she would tell you as she helped with generous hand the golden coIm of sweet corn, and at the same time watched over little Tommy Dibs, winae "ma was kinder sick and didn't get down to meals regilar, pore thing," to see that he didn't make himself ill with blueberry pudding. And so it came about in the natural course of things that Mrs. Sanders "laid her hand" on the earliest of John Randolph's early pearches. Randolph owned a small peach farm at Port Caradoc iitt much of a place only a hundred acres, about a iriile away from the vil lage on the shores of the lake. He was a tall, well-made young fellow, with a crop of curly brown hair and clear, darkgray eyes rather a stern mouth, and habitually a somewhat grave expression. He tied his horse a bonnie little bay at the gate that evening and came striding up the gravelled path to the house, slowly swinging a peach-laden basket in nis tiand. it had been a frightfully hot day, and most of the boarders were lounging about on the wide veranda some in an exhausted sort of way, rocking backwards and forwards in the big, red-painted rocking-chairs. They were nearly all ladies and children belonging to Oshawa, the big, bustling city across the lake, whose husbands and fathers, unable to leave business for longer, contented themselves with "running across" to Port Caradoo by the Saturday even ing steamer it was only a three, hours' trip and returning to Oshawa on the Monday morning. Mrs. banders came bustling out of the house to meet Randolph. "Why, you've bin and brought the peaches yourself, Mr. Randolph!" she exelaiuied. "Well, I'm powerful glad to sue you; do step into the house now; we've just got through supper, and I guess it's all cleared away, but I've got some very nioe ras'berry vinegar, and Sarah shall fetch you some ice for it. You look downright wilted up, and not much wonder neither; it's bin powerful hot to-day." Then, with a confidential dropping of her voice to a lower key: "You're just the person I wanted to speak to. Step around to the back stoop a minute; there aint no saying a word here, with all these blessed chUdren 'round You see," she continued, as she rounded the corner of the house, "I've got some new boarders as came over last week from O.shawa real elegant folks and I'd do anything to please 'Mis Drayton that's her name she's a real sweet little thing and as 1 was goin to say, she's set her heart on the euildren learnin' to ride there's three of them, two girls and a boy and they're all just wila about it. They don't give their nia nor that pretty little governess of theirs no peace from morniu' till night. So, 'Mis' Drayton,' she says to me says she, 'eouldn't you and some nice, reliable person, Miss Sunders, as has a quiet horse and would ; spare a little time every day teaehin' the children some one,' she says, 'as they wouldn't learn no harm of' an' I told her no, I didn't know of) no one, an' my! they was all so disapJ r'inted. Well, then, Mr. Randolph, aa was thinkkt' about them peaches this tnornin it just seemed to pop into my fund like, to ask you about it! I know you've got a nice, quiet pony it ain't a very busy seasion with you just now, an' they're real nice little children, an' their ma'd be awful obliged, an' sakes alive I I've talked myself clear out o' breath! Come, now, Mr. Randolph, do say you'll do it!" Aud so Mrs. Sanders rattled on till, almost before Randolph knew what was happening, he was being triumphantly led back to the front veranda and introduced to a pretty little dark-haired woman, who thanked him gently for his "great kindness" to her children, and promised that the said children should be at his farm "with Miss Howard" by 10 o'clock the next morning. And then Miss Howard herself was called and appeared : suddenly at the corner of the veranda. Randolph never forgot that first sight of her a slight, girlish figure in a white gown, clearly outlined against the background of green ereeper which screened one end of the veranda. A few last red rays from the setting sun streamed through the crevices in the network of leaves and lighted up her brown hair and clear, - gentle eyes. It seemed to Randolph that he knew her that he had always known her; every feature in her delicate, thoughtful face was at once well known to him; everything that happened during those few minutes seemed to him like only a repitition of something that had happened long ago. - Even the touch of her hand as it lay for an instant in his, the sound of her voice when she spoke a few commonplace words, seemed strangely familiar to him. He was as one in a dream. All that evening, driving home along the sandy road and afterwards going about his accustomed work, he was unable to shake off an odd consciousness of that interview. Each word that had been spoken repeated itself over and over again in his mind until, ashamed of his weakness though unable to conquer it, he threw himself upon his bed, only to spend the night in uneasy dreams of troops of brown-eyed girls in white gowns, each an exact fac simile of the other. 1 The next morning dawned clear and bright, and Randolph, who was up and about somewhat earlier than usual, seemed to be possessed by the spirit of order. He set Grig, a youth of independent views who "helped" on the i ami, to weed the gravelled path and wnitewasn tne rront gate, tie rum sen before breakfast thoroughly groomed the brown pony, and took down and cleaned an old side-saddle which belonged to his mother. "Randolph seems kind o' peart this morn in'," remarked Keziah, the old woman who "did the chores," to Grig. Grig assented rather gloomily. Whitewashing gates was not his favorite occupation. ..But it looked to Randolph, for the -first trrl, CLJ"Tf forlorn sort of

place, even when the "path was weeded and the gate whitewashed, and Keziah, according to order, had 8crnbb-d the steps and drawn up the green blinds, with their painted pink roses, of the the disused, "front parlor. The house itself, 4 rambling low cottage, was quite innocent of paint, and the boards of which it had been built fifty years earlier had grown with time to be a soft, greyish black; little patches of green moss grew and flourished under the eaves and here and there where the boards overlapped each other. It stood facing the road, and about fifty yards away from it the peach orchard with its long straight rows of heavily-laden trees stretching away on either side, and behind, not thirty . yards from the kitchen door, a yellow-white cliff, dotted here and there with tufts of long grass and wild raspberry bushes, descended abruptly into the lake. It was a quaint, quiet, peaceful-looking spot, and so thought Mary Howard as she viewed it for the first time that sunshiny morning. Afterwards it grew to be very dear and sacred to her, when she had heard the sad story connected with its past, and had learned to share in Randolph's love and reverence for the dead mother who had "dree'd her weird" hi silence there. Randolph met the governess and her charges as they progressed, the latter with eager and expectant glances, up the newly weeded path, and conducted them to the long paddock at the end of the orchard, where Grigg, kicking his disconsolate heels against its rails, was sitting on the fence, holding the brown pony and an old gray mare. Miss Howard was soon established in a shady corner, under a hickory-nut tree, with a camp-stool and a book, while Grigg, a fine appearance of scorn on his expressive countenance, marched slowly up and down the field in charge of pretty little Maude, mounted on the old gray mare, and Randolph himself superin

tended the evolutions of the delighted Johnny on the pony. By and by Grigg was dispatched to the house, whence he returned bearing a huge pitcher of milk and a platter of Keziah's home-made "bun-loaf," which Miss Howard laughingly distributed from her post under the hickory. And then and then, somehow, ! it all came to an end, and Randolph found himself leaning over the gate, listening to the children's ringing laughter and watohing the graceful figure which accompanied them as it disappeared round the bend of the road. Disappeared! Yes but came again on the morrow, and on many morrows after that nearly every day of that happy and long-remembered summer, till the old, old story was once more repeated, and Mary Howard's sweet face and gen tle presence grew to be as necessary to Randolph's happiness and peace as the very breath he drew. And one day he told her so one day in the early autumn, when heavy clouds hung over the leaden-colored lake, and the wind sighed through sombre pines and red-tinted maples as if with a foreboding of the long winter to come. And she she took his sun-burned hand and kissed it, laid her head trustingly on his broad shoulder and told him she loved him dearly better than life. They were to be married the next spring from Mrs. Sanders' the 6th of June was the day fixed for the wedding. Mary Howard, who had spent the winter in Oshawa with the Draytons, her only friends, was to come with them to Port Caradoc, June 1. Randolph had spent much of his time through the winter and spring in fitting up the old house and making it as bright and comfortable as might be for his bride. Many were the tender thoughts and fancies which filled his mind as he worked in the long winter evenings at the pretty carved book-cases which were to hold the books she was so fond of; or later in the spring as he made various journeys to Cripsville, the nearest inland town, where he purchased so many dainty knick-knacks that Keziah declared "Randolph had gone mad on fixin's." For the 25th of May Randolph had planned the last of these journeys, and the morning of that day he left Port Caradoc by an early train for Cripsville. It was a close, sultry morning; there seemed scarcely a breath of air; the lake was ominously still not a ripple stirred its surface; heavy, threatening clouds hung over the horizon. Keziah entreated him not to go. She said she felt "kind o' skeared." But Randolph only laughed, and promised to send up a woman from the village to keep her company. His heart was so full of happiness it had no room for forebodings. He reached Cripsville about 10 o'clock. At noon a storm of thunder and lightning broke over the city. Hailstones as large as pigeons' eggs fell, smashing every unprotected pane of glass. The wind shrieked and howled through the streets, rooting up trees and smashing telegraph poles like twigs. Houses were blown down, men and horses killed. It was that terrible storm of May. 18? Randolph made his way to the station with difficulty about 5 o'clock, only to find that no trains were running to Port Caradoc. A portion of the railway hail been torn up by the storm, and it would take at least twenty-four hours to repair the damage done. He returned to the town, where he wandered about rather aimlessly for an hour or two, and then went to the hotel, intending to spend the night there, and resolved to hire a horse and drive home a distance of some thirty miles the next morning. He was possessed by a strange, uneasy feeling, and felt half inclined to start for home that night, but hearing that it would be dangerous, perhaps impossible, and having indeed no urgent cause for haste, he abandoned the idea. About o'clock rumors reached the hotel of disaster on the lake. Some said that the Oshawa steamer had been wrecked at Port Caradoc and all hands lost; others, that she had been struck by lightning; others, again, that she had been driven out oi her course and had gone to pieces oi tne sandbar, but that most or tne passengers and crew were saved. Randolph decided to start at onee for home; he managed to secure a horse and light buggy and by midnight was on his way. The storm had by this time subsided through a rent in the clouds overhead a few stars shone brightly the road stretched dark and gloomy before him. Fallen trees here and there blocked the way; occasionally he was obliged to get out and lead his horse. He was filled by a glowing dread and anxiety. What if if any one dear to him had been on board the - ill-fated i steamer? It might be; it was possible! And he shuddered as an awful picture presented itself, against all probability, to his mind. -. He urged on his horse and 'strove to occupy himself with other thoughts. The dawn began to break, and faint streaks of red showed themselves in the eastern sky. He was still five miles from his destination when the jaded little mare he was driving stum

bled and fell heavily, laming herself so

severely that traveling the remainder of the distance was clearly out or tne ques tion, Randolph tied her to the fence a somewhat unnecessary precaution and made his way by a short-cut across the fields to the nearest farm, a friend's. where he found the household just astir, and easily obtained a promise of looking after the mare from a sleepy looking farm boy. Then he struck across the country in the direction of Port Caradoc, through patches of cool. green forest, where the sun had as yet scarcely penetrated, and over fields bounded sometimes by "snake" fences, sometimes by rough barricades of tree stumps. The grass was heavy with dew glittering in the morning sunlight. A little alter e o clock be came in sight of his house, approaching it not from the side next the village, but from the opposite direction. While still half a mile off he descried a horse and car riage standing at the gate and what seemed to be a knot of people in the road. Figures were moving in and out of the door. Randolph was not very much surprised; it had occurred to him before as more than probable that, were the report true as to the steamer havi gone to pieces on the sandbar, use would have been made of his house, as the nearest at hand, as an impromptu hos pital for the ; rescued. Now, drawing nearer, he recognized the carriage at the gate as that belonging to the doctor, and telt confirmed in this idea. He burned on, feeling faint and sick from long exertion and want of food. Soon he was perceived and recognized by the group of people at tne gate, an but two ot wnom, and these apparently strangers, were well known to him some were old friends. Not one stepped forth to meet him not one spoke. Instead, they turned to each other with looks of horror and pity, and one, a young farmer, who had been for years his greatest friend in the place, turned aud walked quickly away. Randolph stopped his heart gave one great throb and then seemed to grow still. Was it true? Had this strange, dreadful presentiment of evil been only a forewarning of the truth? Then a great calm came over him. He walked on. "What is it, friends?" he said, quietly. No one answered; one old man attempted to speak, but the words died away in his throat. Keziah came down the path. "The Lord's hand is heavy upon you, Randolph," she said, solemnly. He pushed her gently aside and entered the house. The door of the front room was closed. He opened it, and the bright, cruel sunlight streamed into the darkened room. Streamed in upon the book -cases, on the walls, the new piano in the corner, the sofa covered with bright blue he had covered it himself. But not for this! He had thought how she would rest tl.ere in the evenings; how he would sit beside her, perhaps with children playing at their feet; but he had never thought of this oh, God! never of this! He needed not to draw the covering from the fair, pale face to know that it was her form lying so quietly thereneeded not to press his burning hands upon herbrow, upon her heart, to know that hope was fled. He scarcely listened when they told him how it happened why she had come a week earlier; how she had struggled at the end for life. At first he knelt there, piteously shaking her cold hands and moaning like some dumb animal in pain, and then he raved and cursed his health and strength, and prayed for death. But death comes not for the asking, and he lived. Saved br a. Joke. Boston Globe. In one of the battles of the late war Col. Robert G. Ingersoll was ordered to advance with his regiment upon a squad of Confederates that was hidden in a grove on the right of the line. After a short contest his command broke and fled in disorder, so that when the smoke lifted he f found himself surrounded by fifteen or twenty gray-coats, with muskets at their shoulders in attitudes ready to fire. Taking in his peril at a glance, he waved his hand to them to desist, and said: "I have been thinking over the condition of affairs for the past second and a half very seriously, and gentlemen, I have come to the conclusion that I shall acknowledge the southern Confederacy." He beamed upon them with his sun niest smile and while they stood dumb-1 founded at his cool presence of mind he adroitly wheeled around and putting I spurs to his horse was out of gunshot before they recovered from their amaze- J ment. Ever after this he was known as ! the Yankee colonel who saved his life by a joke. " Thr Carried the New to Dallas. Ben: Ferley Poore. Governor Fairfield, of Maine, on his return from Philadelphia, on June 1, 1844, as the chairman of a committee of the national Democratic convention, to inform Mr. Dallas of his nomination as vice president, gave an amusing account of the scene. The committee reached Philadelphia about 3 o'clook in the morning, and were piloted to Mr. Dallas' house by his friend, Senator Robert J. Walker, who was one of the number. Loud knocks at the door brought Mr. Dallas to his chamber window, and recognizing Mr. Walker he feared that his daughter, who was in Washington, was ill, and he hastened down-stairs, half dressed and barefooted, to hear from him, when, to his utter amazement, in walked sixty or more gentlemen, two by two, with the tread of soldiers passing him by, and entering his front parlor as though to make tun a captive. Mr. Dallas, not having the slighest conception of their object, stood thunder-struck at the scene. Mr. Walker led him into the back parlor. "My dear Walker," said he. in amazement, "what is the matter?" "Wait one moment, if you please, Dallas, wait one moment if you please, f" The folding doors were then thrown open and the whole congregation stepped forward and gave three deafaning cheers for "Polk and Dallas!" Mr. Dallas stood parlyzed. Mr. Walker enjoyed his discomfiture. Governor Fairfield, of Maine, then stepped forward, and in the name of the delegation announced his nomination. Ideographical llrasu Texas Sittings. "Your trip to Italy must have been very pleasant," said one of the most intelligent young ladies of Austin, to Simpson, who had just returned from a fen eign strand. 'Very interesting indeed," answered he. "Now tell me," said she; "does Italy really look like a boot? Yon know that's the way it looks on the map." Unity: Truth is a plant indigenous to all natures, but one requiring considerable digging about and watering to thrive well in any.

ICbicairo Nevrs.1 Some time ago we took occasion to direct the attention of our readers to the Maaitoban project of communication with ErCpe via Hudson's bay, and it is as waif, now that the matter has taken definite shape, that we should acquaint them with its progress. The scheme is, in brief, to construct a railroad trom Winnipeg to ort cnurcniu, on 1 mason's bay, whence steamers will eonvej freight to Liverpool. As a mat ter of course, the enterprise depends upon the settlement oJ the question, considered very doubtful at present, whether the straits forming the entrance to the bay are free from ice long enough to permit of its being conducted with profit. In the mean time a railway from Winnipeg to Fori Churchill has been chartered with a land grant of 12,800 acres per mile, and th steamer Neptune, with a scientific expedition commanded by Lieut. Gordon, ol the British navy, either has sailed or ii on the point of sailing from Halifax U remain in the bay for a year to watct the straits. That is the state of the cat at present. Suiciding- Gamblers. Exchange. Statistics show that the tendency to sui cide is much greater among regular gamblers from losses than among business men.

Y. : Dear Bir I think it is dne to yon that 1 should make the following statement, and I make it voluntarily and willirmlv : On the 4th day of Jane, ltfrsl, I was taken with what was called paralysis of the bowels. The seizure was unexpected and terrible. The stomach and other organs semed to sympathize with it and to have lost all power of action. For a long time my life was despaired of, bat at length I recovered so far as to be able to ride out. By the advice of my physician I visited Poland Springs (Vt.) , hoping to benefit from the waters. Bat they did me no good. Neither were the best physicians of Lowell and Boston, whom I eonsuited, able to afford me more than transient relief. I gained no xtrength, and my ease appeared almost hopeless. In the Fall a friend advised me to try KENNEDY'S FAVORITE REMEDY, and although opposed to patent medi cines, I made the trial. To make a long story short FAVORITE REMEDY, in my opinion. saved my lire. 1 consider It the best preparation in the world for stomach difficulties , as weU as of the Liver and other organs. I am glad to say it is in general use among the &. R. men in this vicinity. Yours, etc . A.J. GLFFORD.
