on the piazza, while NiDk superintended the clearing away of the tea-things and tt^dL^writli an aehing bead an* breaking Mart, the young wife sought her room, and threw herself, without undressing, upon the bed.

That wmt a foarful hour for Nina Pier celle, anil she ahrank from Its torture as a poor criminal shrinks from the blow of the axe that is to put an end to every earthly hope and aspiration. Thore were no tears now only great drops of presplratfnti beaded tne white brow and rolled slowly off upon the pillow, drenching it «s with clammy dewp death, white every limb quivered, as in the last agony. She had twined her heart strings about that ono loved being, as closely a* the clinging vine wraps ita tendrils about the brunches of a tree and now fhat the tree was falling, she could feel the silken fibers snapping slowly, oneby one, and life itself a ed going out, in the awful struggle

Thus tho hours passed aud the deep hash of night was over the earth. The alienee srrew oppressive, for nothing bat the wild beatiug of her own haart, and the gentle, regular respiration of her child brok the profound stillness. F.v ery v«in seemed swollen with a tide of molten lead, and her teroplos throbbed to hunting, with a burning pain, li was more than she could b+ar, and, with a stifled scream of agony, Mre. Piereelle sprang from her couch, and ha-teiied down .stairs.

Herdtsign was to procure something with which to bathe her throbbing tern pies, and she harried on, forgetful and heed lew alike or everything except the fearful pniu that was maddening her.

Scarcely kuowing what she did. she opened the front door, and passed out noiselessly, taking her way through a bide gate, down to the little meadow, where a cool spring bubbled up amid the violets. She did not heed the heavy dew in the long grass, that drenched her garments si timet to her waist, but al moat tiew over the intervening snace, and knelt be*ido the little spring, dash ing tho cool, bricht waters over her fe vered brow, it stilled the wild throbbing, and ttio low, unceasing bubbling and murmur ol the waters soothed her disordered i.r rvts, more than aught else could have done, and, grateful tor the relief she had found, sho laid her cheek down ujxm the gram, and wept—wept such tears as give relief to an overburdened heart while tho stars looked calmly down upon her, and the moon satiation as brightly through her aeure courn©? as though no cloud had ever darkened its lustre.

The guma was twenty-deck poker, nnd niouey w»» changing hands with startling rapidity. One of the players, a middle-aged utau, whoso face showed but too plainly the ravages of an exece* that was Nipping bis life, and who, 1 learmvl afterward, was a cotton planter had staked his last dollar and

The ov.ier then waited a tew minutes without receiving an answer, and tbon said:

Mere wa# excitement well as an opportunity for profit. The throe players at the table took three chances each. Then the spectators surged no, and twenty ehaneea were sold as tat as the planter oould take the namea. Then came the lull. The planter himself took two ehatwes, wherenpon trie three companions took eaeh one more. Then three men iu the crowd "doubled op."

Two more chances, genUemen." Clay whispered apart to the judge, end then made his way to the table, throwing down two gold eagle*. '»What nantef* "Glveitto the woman.'V

The dice were brought on, and shaking cowmenoed. There were three dice, aud each player Was entitled to throe throws. Of the first ten throws thirty six was the highest number oast. The eleventh throw turned up forty Then the score ftll again ontll the ty-flrst throw, when one of the game* sters threw forty-nine.

The croud was now all exeitement. Forty-nine was a hard point to beat The lowest number that could thrown was nine, and the highest (nine sixee) was ftfty-fou?, making what la called an averaze torow about thirty one and one-half Of a hundred throw the msjority will fhU below thlrtj^twoi.

Again the dice rattled in the box as the second gamester took his turn* butt his throw was a low one. Twenty-eighth throw belonged to the clerk of the I who had now returned with the bill of *ale. He threw forty-nine—tying the gamester,

Oome, Ninette, It's your torn." The woman started and quivered, aud pressed her hand over her head. Only the groaning and puffing of the engine broke the stillness of the place.

Will the genllotnan who paid for the hance throw for me?" she said, In lo*v, musical tone, earnest and implor ing.

Let your hov throw for you," said Mr. Clay, who shrunk from the ordeal His luck should be better than mine.'

Tommy came forward and took the box. tin mother's bands were olasped and her lipe moved in prayer. The boy trembled like an aspen. What a world of weal or woe hung upon the tickle chance. He held In his hand the sealed book in which was written the fete of hie mother and himself, and it was to be opened on the hazard of a die

He shook the box and turned tho dice upon the table. Three aces. A moment Ue gazed upon thethree single apota and then, dropping the box, ho sunk back pale and frightened. "Shake again, Tommy," tho planter said.

It's no use, master I can't get forty nine." Hut you've got your own chance my hoy.

Ay'," said the judge. "That was your mother's chance. Now throw tor yourself—throw for the chance 1 gave you—brace up, and take heart—aud uiay Heaven nelpyou!"

This was not an assembly of religiously inclined persons by any means, but tho fervent prayer of tho judge met with warm and impulsive response of 'amen" from nearly all present.

Again the boy came forward and lift, ed the box. HIM lips wore tightly shut and the old quivering of the limbs were hushed. The only sound in the salo.' 11, above the deep breathing of the spectators, was the clicking of the ivory cubes, Presently tho first throw was made.

Five—five—six, are sixteen said the planner, eettingdown the figures, Tho die were gathered up and again. "Six—six—and a five. Good. That's seventeen."

The boy was pale as death as he took tho box for a last throw, and his mother oaned against a stanchion for support. At length—and tho book was opened!

Three sixes!—eighteen—and that is flft3'-one!" "Tommy, my boy„ you're a trump. Now, Mr. Cleric, fill up the hill of sale, and I'll sign it before these witnesses.

The scene that followed can be better magined than described. The last time heard from Judge Underwood ho was alive and well, though long retired from active life. Ninette was his housekeeper and Tommy his trusted henchman.

A WICKED 10 WA EDITOR. The editor of the Shell Rock News, in this State, has jnst encountered a storm of wrath from the community because he published the advertisement of a brewery. He felt awfully when the enormity of his offense was explained to him, and thought he never could be so wicked again. Then be went to a fair for tho benefit of the J.adies' Home Miseion Society, and a woman charged him fa.75 for a pin cushion made out of pasteboard with a piece of red flannel sewed over It, and a sweet little girl stuck a bud and a couple of geranium leaves in his buttonhole and charged him |2, and he lnet $1.75 gambling in a grab bag, and sunk |2 25 bucking against tne cake with the mystical ring which nobody ever finds, supposed to be ooncoaled in it, and be dropped in a raffle for an afgban, and be was compelled to take the brewery "ad." again for three weeks, in order to get bread for his family, And he doesn't feel half ho badlv about it as he did.—[Burlington Hawk Eye. r_-
