WAITING.

In the summer of 187- I visited a schoolinato of mine whose husband had lived some distance from the home of her girlhood in one of the rich parishes of Louisiana.

Tbey lived out in the country, about twelve miles from the Mississippi river, and on tbe border of the loveliest sheet of

water 1 ever beheld. It was a lake in reality, but the native inhabitants calledit a river. They seemed to attach very little importance to the beauty of its scenery indeed, it was ignored, except by strangers who visited the country. In the midst of this lake was an island, at times fairy like in the hazy atmosphere. From the residence of my friend it was my delight to contemplate the shifting reflection of droll houses and tall trees mirrored on the water's glassy surface. On fine evenings 1 sauntered on tho banks and watched these changing aspects of sunset Sometimes we drove around the shore that we might catch a glimpse of the orb extending itself into a fiery column across the waves.

During several of these rides my attention was attracted by a dilapidated dwelling which stood at some distance from the road. It was partly concealed by dense shrubbery, resembling in foliage the Cherokee rose.

Each time we passed the house I noticed the figure of a woman sitting at the top of the front steps. Her general appearance struck me as that of a creature in a forlorn condition. She seemed emaciated in form, was wretchedly clad, and wore over her head something which seemed to bo a colored handkerchief. At first my curiosity was not in the least excited, for often on our excursions round tho lake I had mot women in similar attire. But vrlioti avoning aUxar

by and 1 saw the creature in the same position, her elbow upon her knee and her chin resting in the palm of her hand, I began to wonder whether she ever vacated her seat at the head of those stairs. The idea even occurred to me that she might be some permanent object which my vivid imagination had transformed into an aged crone, "Who is she?" I ventured to nsk my friend "that ancient damo who has stationed herself over there?' "Anciont damol" she exclaimed, "why sho is only a few years older than I am." 1 scrutinized the youthful figure and well preserved features beside ma "Impossible! she seems old enough to be your grandmother." "Indeed she is not. 1 remember tho time when we went to balls together. Sho was then an acknowledged belle, and so charming in appearance that sho excited tho envy of all tho girls in the country." "And, pray, what ui aiuier of evil has befallen tho woman and reduced her to this untimely state of decrepitude?" "Her history you may find sadly intorcstihg. Shall I tell it to you now?" "By all means," 1 implied, "and mean* while 1 will watch tho last rays of the sun sporting among the peach orchards and shanties on the island, The scenery 1 demands admiration.*' "You would not believe," began Estelle, "that tho crazy old house we have just passed was once tho residence of a planter who lived in 'grand style,' according to the opinion of his contemporaries. in antebellum days. Its appearance would justify you in doubting my statement, for there is no vestige left of its departed glory. It was, nevertheless, once considered a comfortable and attractive home, where the young people of that period often met for social enjoyments. I perceive from your face that

It is difficult for you to associate those crumbling walls with a home once comfortable and pleasant But you must bear in uiiml that this portion of the parish was settled by a class of people very simple and primitive in their mode of living.

They were under the impression that they had been blessed with the good things of life, and they accepted their lot with contentment Old Mr. Jacob, the owner of the place, was a man of that sort Although uneducated and somewhat uncouth in his manners, he was kind hearted and sociable, and always anxious to have his friends about frtm.

perhaps the only relic left of the pleas­

ant past. It is evident that the rose has grown wild, for it is rioting over the premises. Cecile, that 'ancient dame* of yours, was the youngest of Mr. Jacob's family. Just at the close of the war die was in the bloom of youth and a splendid type of Creole beauty—tall and lithe, and the grace of every motion gave one an undefined impression of the indolence and voluptuousness of her nature. She was a brunette with a rich color, and her dark eyes were as melting as those of a gazelle. "The girl was not considered intelligent, and her education had been sadly neglected: but there was in her manners a native refinement which gave her entrance in the best society. I remember so well her appearance at a party given in honor of a company of recruits on the eve of their departure for northern Louisiana. Ball costumes in those days were not elaborate affairs, nor had fashion much voice in our little community. Estelle wore a satin robe somewhat antiquated in style, but it fitted her nicely and brought into strong relief the freshness of her beauty. "You may imagine the disastrous effects of such a combination of loveliness on the rest of us maidens who had been less favored by nature. That evening Cecile received the homage of many a handsome and gallant cavalier. Among the number was Capt. Lymon, a Texan, whose regiment had done some service in the state. The reason of this officer's return to the parish was a matter of conjecture. He lingered, however, under a plausible pretext, spending most of his time flirting with the girls. "But after his acquaintance with Cecile he changed his conduct and devoted himself exclusively to her. He was a rnRTi of education and apparently of high standing in life. Cecile was elated and accepted his attentions with unfeigned satisfaction. She renounced her life of frivolity and wrapped herself in a mantle of reserve at the approach of her former admirers. You must know that some time previous to this she had either engaged herself or given great encouragement to a cousin of hers, a Creole youth, also an officer in the army. "Victor was dark and of small stature, but he possessed a sort of wild beauty which fascinated most people. There was a glint in his black eyes which reminded one of the leaping light in Algol. The boy was madly in love with his beautiful cousin, and there had been a time when she had given him every reason to believe that his affection was returned. But since her late infatuation she had grown cold, and would turn from him her luminous eyes each time he sought an explanation of the change which had overtaken her. He was determined not to relinquish his prize without a struggle hence there were several meetings at the paternal home, where the antagonistic propensities of the suitors were exhibited in personal remarks. Capt. Lymon's assumption of haughtiness in the presence of his rival irritated Victor beyond endurance and aroused the demon of jealousy in his breast. "Ono «vo»in#, ua it ofton ©oonrrod, Cecile and her two lovers were pacing slowly up and down the garden walk. She held in her hand a bunch of violets which her cousin had gathered for her a few moments before. Several times she unconsciously raised it to her red lips, burying them in the odorous mass. 'Pray, Miss Cecile,' said the captain, •will you give me those flowers pressed so warmly to your lips?* "Cecile looked inquiringly into her cousin's face. 'Je te defends,' Victor muttered in a peremptory tone. "The girl had been spoiled, and, unaccustomed to be dictated to, that voice of authority drove her to a hasty decision. Without a moment's hesitation she turned to Capt Lymon and laid the flowers in his hand. Victor's eyes flashed with indignation at this unmerited blow to his manly pride. His cousin's cruelty clovo to his heart as with a knife. He gave her a scornful look, turned upon his heels and departed. A week after this occurred Capt. Lymon was recalled to his post of duty. Thus Cecile found herself suddenly bereft of both her'lovers. "This circumstance was not calculated to enliven her situation. She now eschewed the gayeties of life, and relinquished further association with her old acquaintances. "The country was then foil of young girls, whose exuberance of spirits could not be checked even by tho sad tiding? which reached them from the closing scenes of war. We had little to do except to amuse ourselves, and we resorted to every possible means of satisfying our natural propensities for pleasure. We took great delight in horseback rides. There was alack of cavaliers, but we did not care, and rode out in gay parties, half a dozen in a 'squad,' as we called it Cecile bad generally accompanied us in these jaunts, either along the river or down Grosso Tete lane to the woods, where the pungent odors of wild plants and flowers filled our senses with exhilarating delight "Before the complications of her love affairsi Cocilo had been the most interested one in our riding parties, for she was a graceful rider and fond of displaying her skill But after the incident have just related she declined with persdstenc" every invitation to join us until we lost tbe habit of calling upon her whan passing her gate. "On our return home 1 win show yon a clump of trees now battered and gnarled with age. They stand on the river buik in front of Mr. Jacob's dwelling. At the time alluded to tbey were yonm and vigorous, and so distri bated that their limbs interlaced and formed a magnificent bower. It was most inviting spot. Beneath this canopy of leaves Mr. Jacob had placed a nnrn ber of comfortable seats, where he a»d Ms guests often cnjar*d *k*i* on warm summer days.

One evening, on our return front long and dusty ride, w* pawned the place at About mmti The sight of the coot re* tnsat reminded me of a spring which

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVTgNTNG MA

babbled from the bank a few feet below It suggested the idea of dismounting in order to quench our thirst, and 1 was the first to leap from my pony and penetrate the shadowy recess. Guess my surprise when in the gathering twilight 1 perceived Our deserted Cecile. "She stood in the subdued light like a Calypso ready to resent an intrusion within the sacred precinct of her grotto. 'Why, Cecile,' I exclaimed. 'I took you for a ghostf "For answer she burst into a little irritable laugh—'Thanks for your compliment' "1 knew she was not in amiable mood, but went up to her and kissed her lightly on the cheek. She did not change her attitude nor unlock her arms from behind her. Her airs provoked me, and I walked to the bank, saying, 'I hope there is no law prohibiting people from quaffing a draught at the spring?* "At that moment I heard the chatter of our little cavalcade. 'Oh, gracious, here's Cecile!* 'We thought you were dead and buried!' 'What have you been doing with yourself, Cecile? 'Turning nun, I suppose, to expiate for the sin of breaking hearts.' 'What have you done with your lovers? 'Where is poof Cousin Victor? 'And the gallant captain? These were some of the questions which fell upon her like a hail storm. "I pitied the girl and rushed to her rescue. 'Girls,' I cried, at the same time struggling up the rugged steps in the embankment, 'come on—the water is deliriously cool.'

?1,

"But my invitation was unheeded Cecile stood in the midst of her tormentors, more beautiful than I had ever seen her before. Notwithstanding her increasing anger there was in her eyes an expression which aroused my compassion. It was evident that the girl had suffered, and that she was anxious to hide the fact from us. Her struggles to control her emotions were vain the color fled from her cheeks and her lips quivered. The conduct of her friends was rude and ungenerous, and she considered herself affronted. 'How does that concern you? 1 must say I consider you most unmannerly,' were the words which fell upon us like a clap of thunder. Our astonishment knew no bounds, and without further ceremony we hastened from the scene where our pride had met so shocking a blow. "This little incident happened about a month after Cecile's quarrel with her cousin Victor. No one had received tidings of him since his disappearance "We afterward heard that a few weeks after Capt. Lymon's departure Cecile had been the recipient of a document which proved beyond donbt the duplicity of the mn.n for whose sake she had forfeited the love of a worthy man. Imagine her humiliation, her vain regrets and the remorse which must have gnawed at her heart like a worm. The evening we surprised her under the trees we were ignorant of this important state of affairs. Her incivility toward us proved that she misconstrued our motives in stopping she supposed we had heard of her bles, and to tease her we had pi intruded upon her. "This was the end of our associate with her. The war was now ended I returned to the convent to complete my education. One by one the soldiers came straggling home. Many were missing, but 'they were all accounted fct* some had fallen in battle and others had succumbed to the hardships of war. Bat Victor, the handsome creole, nevermore gladdened with his presence the hearts of his friends. "At first Cecile awaited his return with a patience pitiful to see, but when month after month went by and no tidings came of him. she gave vent to her despair ia violent and uncontrollable grief. To this day no one has ascertained his fate. Some believed that the unfortunate youth was killed in an encounter with Capt Lymon. It is certain that he never rejoined his company after he left tb$ parish. "And Cecile, during all these years, has been brooding over her secret sorrow. She is now a wreck, on the borders of insanity. They tell me that there is in her face a wistful, longing look which appeals to the heart. Sometimes it is wild and despairing and overshadows her once beautiful eyes. She has lost all interest in life, and passes her time wandering over the premises, or else she sits where you have often seen her, apparently watching for somebody. Mr. Jacob, ever kind and faithful, has been her guardian. "Soon ^fter the close of the war he withdrew from the society of his friends and consecrated his life to the service of bis beloved Cecile, once the pride of his heart."

On our homeward ride we passed the old house in the dusk of evening. "Look!" exclaimed my friend, suddenly checking the hone. "There is Mr. Jacob now, walking toward the banks with bis daughter."

I scanned tho couple with curiosity. Tbe old man was barefooted, and walked in a stooping posture like one carrying a heavy burden. His shabby clothes hung loosely about him, and the brim of his old hat partially concealed his long straggling locks.

Jtist as we passed them Cecile turned her face in our direction and silentily beckoned to her father. „. .' ,*C' 1 shall never forget that welid figure silhouetted in the light of a dying day.— Epstton in New Origins Times-Democrat .A.,

THERE ARE SCHOLARS WHO THINK THEY ARE INHABITED. -,

'J?

Science RasXo Means of Proving It, but if *ot the Case Why Were They Created? Some of the ConcI otlooi Which Have

Been Reached hy the Professor.

•Ton remember," said the professor, as reported in the Cincinnati Times-Star, "my allusion some time ago to the fact that Mars resembled the earth in many of its observed features. It has for years been the dream of astronomy to prove that life exists in some or all of the millions of stars which surround us. The poetic astronomer reasons in this way: All things were created for the use and support of living beings. What use do the myriads of heavenly bodies subserve if there is no life? Would not the earth be altogether devoid of interest if life did not exist? If there was neither life nor thought what would be the significance of the universe? Reflections of this sort enkindle the lively imagination, and speculation as to what the science of astronomy will eventually reveal runs to extravagant extremes.

SUBJECTS OF SCIENCE IN THE FUTURE. "Mathematical astronomers, like Newton and La Place, arouse by their marvelous calculations a high state of enthusiasm. But is this the only line along which we can work? The prediction of eclipses, the division of time, the mapping out of the courses of certain heavenly bodies with perfect accuracy, the discovery of comets, planets and suns—are those to be the final triumphs of the science which has revolutionized human thought at two or three stages of man's history? Let me answer in the words of an enthusiast: 'That is not the aim. Behold those millions of suns, similar to that which gives light to the earth, and, like it, sources of movement, activity and splendor well, those are the subjects of the science of the future—the study of universal and eternal life. You are going to witness the dawn of a new day. Mathematical astronomy will give place to physical astronomy, to the true study of nature.' "He goes on to say that by the study of nature he means the study of the conditions of life in the various parts of the universe, the physical condition of the planets, their geographical aspects, their climatology and their meteorology. It will probably be proved that Mars and Venus are peopled by thinking beings that Jupiter has not yet reached a condition where life can be supported that the conditions are such on Saturn that the beings which inhabit it are of an entirely different organization from our earth dwellers. Still further, astronomy will show that the earth is but one place in the celestial country, and that man is a citizen of the heavens. It will thus lead up to anew philosophy, the religion of superior minds.

NEITHER PROVED NOR DISPROVED. "Such is the dream and such the final object of the telescopio search. The best that can be said for it from a scientific standpoint is that the facts observed neither prove it nor disprove it There is only one body where the conditions are believed to be such as to support intelligent beings of our kind. But that is inconclusive. We can observe with our telescopes but three or four out of the millions of heavenly bodies. Moreover, there can be definite adaptation. Should our temperature be greatly raised or lowered, life as it exists now would disappear from the face of the earth but perhaps there are forms of life which would thrive under the conditions which are fatal to us. "Again, millions of years passed by before life got a foothold on our globe, according to the best evidence that we have, and for millions of years after life is extinct here it is expected that our planet will roll on through space. The period of intelligent man is but a moment out of an immeasurable lapse of time. It is not probable that, if it were possible to visit each one of the 50,000,000 stars visiole through our telescopes, we should find more than one or two at the best where our stage has just been reached. "Whether the stars are inhabited or not, wo know something about the appearance of the universe as presented at some of them by analogy. "In the solar system of Gamma, in the constellation of Andromeda, Instead of one sun, shining with a white light, any possible observer would behold three suns—a yellow sun, a blue sun and a green sun. As one of these suns would be setting another would be rising, and the color of objects would be constantly changing. When the blue sun should be in the zenith all the landscape—the rocks and the waters—would reflect the blue rays, throwing, perhaps, slight tinges of gold or green, due to one of the other suns as it was setting or rising. "This is but a suggestion of some of the magnificent flights which must be presented near the multiple, triple and double stars, and we know of this through telescopic observation. "The double stars especially love to show brilliant complementary colors, taking the hue that will contrast most charmingly with that of tbe next star— arose colored one beside an emerald, a sapphire blue with a pale yellow primrose for a neighbor, white and ruby, gold and purple, sea green and orange, each increasing the beauties of the others. "There is a nebula on the Southern Cross which is composed of 110 stats, of which eight of the more conspicuous ones are colored various shades of red, green and blue the whole gives the pearance here of a rich piece of jewelry. What must be the infinite variety and beanty of the coloring in the near vicinity?

$!T'irlDEA8 OF HELL.

DUfarent Places Where the Good of Huy Nation* Have Located It.

We five a summary of the "heUw opinions of many religions and that of a famous astronomer: The hell of the ancient heathens was divided into two mansions—Elysium on the right hand, which was the abode of good men's souls Tartarus on the left, a region of misery and torment, the awful abode of the damned. The ancient philosophers were of the opinion that the infernal regions were at an equal distance from all parts of the earth, which may be the foundation of the modern idea of hell being in the center of the earth.

The people of Hennione, contrary to the usual belief that one's own country is the best in the world, thought that it was a very short distance from their shores to the "lake that burnetii for ever and ever for this reason the people of that country never put money in the mouths of their dead to pay passage to the laud of oblivion. The ancient Jews placed hell in the center of the earth.

According to them, there were three passages leading to it the first the wilderness, by which route Dathao. Korah and Abirain descended: the secona is the sea, because it is written that "Jonah cried to God out of the belly of hell the third passage is in Jerusalem, because it is said "the fire of the Lord is in Zion, and his furnace is in Jerusalem." Mohammed said that hell has seven gates the first for the Mussulman, the second for the Christians, the third for the Jews, the fourth for the Sab&ins, the fifth for the Magians, the sixtn for the Pagans and the seventh for the hypocrites of all religions.

Among modern philosophical opinions that of Mr. Whiston, the English scholar, was perhaps the most unique. The comets, according to Whiston, are so many hells appointed in their orbits to alternately carry the damned into the confines of the sun, and then to return them beyond the orb of Saturn, there to starve them in the regions of dismal cold.

Among the Christians there are two controverted questions in regard to hell —one concerning its locality, the other the duration of its torments.—St Louis Republic.

Three Hundred Stones Inside of Him.

Sir Charles Hall, a celebrated physician of the Seventeenth century, relates an extraordinary case of a man who accustomed himself to swallow stones.

This man, Thomas Gobsill by name, and about 26 years of age, had for some time suffered from colic, till a sympathetic friend advised him to swallow small, round pebbles. He followed the prescription and obtained relief. On being seized some months afterward by a violent return of his complaint he swallowed nine stones, and as these had no effect, repeated the dose until about 800 pebbles had accumulated in his interior. He endured their presence for two and a half years before submitting himself to Sir Charles Hall. Sir Charles found the stones were situated in the lower part of the body, and on shaking his patient he could hear them rattle.

His first experiment was to suspend the sufferer by his feet, in the hope that the stones might be shaken out of him. This met with no success. Nor did medicine have any effect The man was unable to work without pain, and suffered much uneasiness at all times.— Nottingham (England) Sun.

Too Much Shade.

In a recent number of The Sanitarian Dr. W. T. Parker protests against thick planting of trees very near the house. Not only do they prevent the free access of air and of sunshine or even light, but they also injure the character of the soil as suited for permanent occupation. "A soil," says the writer, "loaded with roots and densely shaded is unfit for man to live upon constantly. Vegetation produces a great effect upon the movement of the air. Its velocity is checked, and sometimes in thick clusters of trees or underwood the nir is almost stagnant. It moist and decaying vegetation be a coincident condition of such stagnation the most fatal forms of malarious diseases are produced. "A moift soil is cold, and is generally believed lo predispose to rheumatism, catarrh and neuralgia. 11 is a matter of general experience that most people feel healthier on a dry soil. In some way which is not clear a moist soil produces an unfavorable effect upon the lungs. A moist soil influences greatly the development of the agent, whatever it may be, which causes the paroxysmal fevers."
