Ben's voice had been growing fainter and fainter as he told his touching story, and at this point his speech foiled him entirely. His companion made no remark, and after a time the miner resumed: .« ,, "I mind too that he ca'd, the dear thowtful lad, an' we could only jist hear him: «Uhkl' Ben, if so lie yo got out, Driver Luke's owen me iluilar.

was borne upon the air. In a hccoiuI came dashing along up the road, past the houHe, mad with night, a pair of splendid runaway horses, dragging alter them an overturned carriage. Iho miners came crowding from the door or tho house. I looked for Ben ho had disappeared. A few moments after, he came in sight, boaring in his arms the apparently lifeless body of poor JSora, torn, bruised, bleeding. She had been ovenhrown in the road by the ruoaways, trampled upon and injured beyond hopeof recovery. Sadly the poor miner bore her through the crowd of horror-stricken feces into the house, and laid her shattered body upon a bed in the best chamber of the establishment.

A dozen men started for the doctor, hundreds flocked about the door, proffering aid. Toiling, weary men, tired and worn from their long, nard days labor, rose from the beds they had just sought, and were eager to bo assigned to some duty to help the poor sufferer. Hardworking mothers with tears and sobs left their own little flocks and turned from their cradled little babes, and with heads shrouded in shawls, and aprons came through the starry night, begging to be allowed to do something, anything, feeling as if seme unnamed, motherly, sisterly, suffering-born instinct stirring in their breasts must surely prompt and guide them to some means of aiding poor Nora. Truly, Ben had not overrated the tenderness of the hearts that throbbed within these rugged frames.

The arrival of the doctor soon settled all questions. Nothing could be done. Nora was fatally injured. A few hours, and all would be over. Slowly the kind-hearted mob dispersed, and tlie women of the house and heart-broken Ben were left alone with the still insensible injured one,

The traveler retired to lus room, but slfcep he could not the night hung long and heavv. At the first dawn of day he arose lieVould walk out and meet the early coach in tho road, lie left his room all was still within the house.

His large, rough hand, endowed bv love's almighty power with the lightness of an angel touch, rests upon her brow, now all beaded with the neats of fever and pain. Tlie end has, commenced.

Tlie straggling gray light of morning breaks through the crevices of the(closed shutters, brings stir and hustle to the outside world within, dim lighting ouly the darkness.

THE SIN OF THIS HUMAN FOI [Lady writer In aNew York paper.} I noticed a letter in your excellent paper the other day signed "Y. M. C. A.," in which the writer, who is evidently young gentleman, protested against the indecency of promiscuous batlung at our watering-places, and the impropriety of ladies'bathing dresses. I can hot help thinking that this young man is yery vouug indeed. He evidently has the silly prudery which is not out of place in a very young girl but which is very ridiculous in a man who intends to become at some day a husband and flither.

As an old lady. I feel the right to speak on tho subject of ladies bathing in public. Mv own daughters have always done it with my warmest approbation, and 7 should never consent to have them en ter the surf unless in company with men who could look after them and keep them out of danger. I da not consider that there is anything indelicate about the bathing-dresses worn bv women: Thev cover the form completely, and the ftiOt that they permit the outlines of the body to be seen after the dresses become wct'is a matter of no consequence.

The fact that women actually havo bodies is ono which it is silly for us to pretend to ignore, especially In this age, when art has made us so familiar with the human form. There ia nothing immoral in our bodies, and the men and women who, as painters and sculptors, are constantly made fiimiliar with the undraped form, do not have their morals contaminated thereby/ So for frpm objecting to the present style of bathing dress because ft reveals too much, I think it would be improved if it were made with short sleeves and short legs, no that, tho wearer could secure more freedom of limb. If th©_Y. M. A. does not like it he can easily from the sea shorn And I wUlj®y, i» conclusion, that he is to be pitied, who in standing on the beach in fall view of tho nuyestic ocean, can see nothing except the wet bathing-dress ot some lady 011 whom he has turned his operaghu».

A lady friend who overheard the conversation, secured a well-worn pair of brogans belonging to her colored cook, and nact them conveyed to the enamoredyoung man early the next morning. The latter was astonished, as he "ad been under the impression that his dulciena Was tlie possessor of the neatest foot in Nashville—or a pair of them, for that matter —but bravely concealing his feelings of bitter disappoint merit, he t»kthemto the nearest shoemaker, and left them with a request that they be mended at once.
