EXPERICNCE. The world win made when a man was born, He must taste fi r himself the forbidden springs ; He cm never take warning from old-fashioned things. He must fight as a bay, ho must drink as a youth, He must kiss, he must love, he must swear t j the tiuth Os the friend of Uis soul; he must laugh to scorn The hint, of deceit in a woman s eyes Tuat are clear as the wells of Paradise. And so he goes on till the world grows old, Till his tongue has grown cautious, his heart has grown cold : Till the smile leaves his mouth and the ring, leaves his laugh, And he shirks the bright headache you ask him to quaff. He grows formal with mon and with women polite, And distrustful of both when they’re out of his sight; Then he eats for his palate and drinks for his heal, And loves for his pleasure, and tis time he were dead. —John Boyle O’Reilly, SHADOWS.

A Tah of Two Continents BY MRS. NINA LAWSON, CHAPTER XXX. Thomas delivered f'e message to his mistress, and Slid mat his master seemed in an awful hurry and excited over something. Bay did uot come back as he ha I promised. It was long past midnight, and the anxious, weary li tie wife was standing at the window that overlooked the avenue, listening an I straining her eyes, to catch,’ if possible, a glimpse of her Bay. “I know something has happened—something is wrong—or he would be back long before this. I cannot endure this suspense any longer, for 1 know he is in trouble —something is wrong.” The little fairy-like form, in its long white robe, with long golden curls flowing down her back, quietly glided to her maid’s room, and awakened her. “Get up, Lula, and dress me quickly, for I must know where he is.” Lenora th n went back to her own room, and pulled the long silken cord that would ring the alarm-bell. Faithful old Tom was there in a minute. “Thomas, you must go with me in search of your master; you know when he went away, and Ire has not yet returned. Something has happened, or he would be here before this; it is now past one o’clock; have a carriage ready instantly, and drive me to the city yourself. I can trust you.” “All rirht, m.ssus: i’ll be reads in jest a few mini's, and you may allers reckon on Tom.” In but a few minutes a closed carriage was driven from the Bristol mansion and rapidly flying toward the city. Its only occupant was a little pale, shivering woman, very richly dressed, but carrying a tad, aching heart. । The carriage was driven to the hotel where Bay often lunch d, but he was not there, a ,d hid not been that day. Thom is went to every hotel in the city, but Bay was -not - there, and the anxious little wife was compe led to receive the same answer every time. “Not seen hero to-day.” Just as Lenora was leaving the hotel she had been waiting at. a boy came running into th' office an 1 informed the clerk that a horse had been left at a livery stable, and that it belonged to the master of the Bristol mansion. He did nyt know who had left it there, but the party had gone to Chicag >. This bit of news relieved Lenora so newjmt, and yet she did not feel altogether satisfied; her husband had gone off and never bidden her good-by or said a word about it; a thing he had never done before. “It is getting quite latci, Thomas, and let us go holhe now; perhaps your master will return to-morrow ; n ? d mbt but ihat a? message came for him while he was here And Jie was compelled to stirt imm diatefy.” Night had passed and day dawned. Lenora had not slept all night, and there were great dark circles under her eyes, which only ‘added to her beauty. That happy smile Ikicl gone from her face, and now it was pale and tearstained. About nine o’clock or half pa-tof the morning alt r Bay’s sudden departure, Len< >i a received a t degram that almost broke her poor aching heart. Chicago. 111., Nov. 23, 187 G. Mrs. Bristol, of Bristol Mansion: Como .immediately. Your husband is dead —com mit tod su i c ide. Pacific Hotel. 8 a. m. As Lenora’s eyes rested on those few words a scream of such awful agony rang through the whole mansion that il sent a chill to the heart of every one in it. Ev n the heartless Jeannette, who hal all the while appeared anxious, ami almost wild with fear, at the nonappearanc * of Bay, was startlei, and a slight feeling of regret now entered her heart; but she had begun her fiendish work, ami now that her revenge was almost complete she intended to carry out h t plan >. Every m avement made in th ' mansion was seen by her,

| and on the day that Ray had received I that cruel letter she was hid in the li- ! brary, behind a heavy enrLiin, where ; she eonjd see him when lie read if, and । have the full benefit of her revenge. She saw the hands uno face she ' loved so well grow pale, and the look j of unutterable pain that rod al there | for hours. | She saw him as bo paced tho floor, i and heard him vow revenge upon he know not who; and as he left the libraI ry to go to the city a low, scornful i 1 laugh of triumph rang through the j I room, and Jeannette came out from her | hiding place. i She know only too well what ho was rushing into, and whit would happen that night. Thal piteous wail that escaped Lenora’s lips brought must of the servants to her room. As they entered they saw their mistress lying, as if dial, upon the floor. Jeannette was there, and recovered from the fright quickly. “She has o ilv fainted; run for some water and the smelling salts.” But the salts an I water were of lit! hi avail, for Lenora lav for hours in that i unconscious condition, and Jeannette I began to fear tha the blow had boon too severe for her rival. She did not care wh 'ther Lenora rocovered or no \ but she was afraid of that ever haunting vision, and believel that she would be struck deal. Finally she and the servants sue- I cecdo 1 in restoring th > little mistress i of the mansion to conscioume s, and | what a bitter, b ttw eonsejousnoys it I was. All was lost to her now, and the I world seemed empty.

As she lay ther 'm my things pass I through h. r mind, ai l she r al: d that she ha l a duty to perf >rm; aye, | what a sad one, too. She must go for ' her dead husband. “Lula, bring me some wine, and then yon must pack s<>me valises, for I mus go to Chi ago on th? first train.” “Alv dear lady, 1 fear you are not able to take such a journ"y.” “Yes, l w‘ll feel stronger in a little while, and on' can go to him bui me; how mu 'R I wish ^Mother Briflo! ■ were here.” She drank the wine and ale a little' toast that the cook ba 1 s nt id to li r. In a short time she went into the nur- i s ry to see her I alm. “div little darling —all that is left < n earth to mo—as deiiili a • 1 lovo you, ! . pray Cod may tak- you from this col I. wicked world now, if your future is to । be as dark and s t 1 a; mine. “Father in heaven, can you not । see what 1 have to b 'ar, and d>> io i [ not pity me ? “AVill you not send one spa -k o' c m f rt to me now, in these, dark h urs?

As she cease I praying, the hot, i scalding tears, like so masiy drops of : blood, now coms'd down her ]>ale. i sunken che ks„ Those tears wire the i first she had shed since'that awful telegram came, and th y seemed to relieve her, for sh ' r s 1 from h r kn cling position ami laid her b.ibe Lack on the couch, and tli n rcturjed to h rj room. Those few hours, of untold mi-ery ) hal made a great change in her: shr : was now a woma-i, and lia l decide I to I brave this great sorrow the best she i could. Lenora was no long r ihe g.rlwife, but a woman, saddened, as if she . had lived years of sorrow, and not hours. As she entered, the room there was an expression on her face that had never been there before; she looked, like’an angel of light, saddened by th • sins of the world. The valises were soon pmk< d, and everything was ready-for them to start I to the depot^ Thomas ahd Lula were to go witlr Lenora, but.she did not' say one word to Jeannette about goin r. Since the night of the ball, almost two years ago, she instinctivelv shrank from the dark beauty. Although sho did not- lik ' Jeann ‘ttc, y. e . there .had never a shadow of doubt cros-ed h r m-iird but that she was her friend, and that she really pitied her in her great trouble. The train was on time, and lamora, with two of her servants, was ra; i lly' whirling toward Chicago. It was rather late when tire train stopped at the great city. Lenora wai driven inrmediat?ly to the Pa ific Hotel and ushered to a parlor by one whom she presumed was a p< rier of the hotel, “Rooms for the night, 1 dy? ’ - “No; I. have come for the body of my dead husband—Captain -Raymond Brist >l. ’ The porter smileil rather strangely at her statement, bu' replie I very promptly: “Why, madam, didn’t the telegram state that he committed suicide? He came here about midnight last night to meet a party-r-on business, I suppose—and this morning when I went to call him -there was- n > one ?in the room, but 1. found a note Ling- on a table and a lelicr was lying beside it. The note stated tha*: the letter wai to be smt to you, ami that lie w.s tir d of life, and that the bed of the lake would lie a good re ting-place. I telegraphed for you to come because I thought, perhaps, you would want the body searched for.” As Lenora entered the parlor her

face was heavily veiled and sho sank down upon a largo easy-chair, while her head gentk restqd against the back. WJren the porter ceased speaking sho made no reply. He waited for her to : answer; still no r spome. The maid went to Len- ra and gently shook her arm, yet she said nothing. i Tli ' - veil was thi'ii raised, and Lula ■ saw th.? pale, beautiful lace. “Oh, heavens! She is dead, sir.” CHAPTER XXXI. But Lenora was not dead; she had only swooai d. Lula's words j ang clear and loud, and startle I the porter very much, lie trembled, and evidently did not know wh it to do. Thomas, the servant, had not yet i come to his mistre: s, for he was-wait-ing for her to sen I for him. “N|ou ar> a very strange porter, indeed, to stand there like a mummy at ; such a time as this. Why don’t you : stir yourself and get a doctor for me? She is my mistress, and I am not going to let her die here, and in this manner.’’ Tile maid’s sharp tones ami manner i seemed to ions ? the porter, for he rushed out of the room and down the stairs in double-quick time. A doctor was there surprisingly soon, and so und Lenora in no condition to be : removed from the hotel that night and pcrlitv s not the m xt day. “But I must return to my little babe । to-morrow morning, Doctor; she is - all i I have left in the world, and my heart ' is broken.” 'l’iio doctor did all he could for her, and she imjiroved rapidly under his ; tr< a m -nt. It was well that she had a ' li tie strength, for the darkest day was : not yet passed. Balti s were sent out to search for I the body of Raymond Bristol, all to no ' purpose. Lenora knew not what to do; ; th ? doctor told her that as soon as she wat str ng enough the best thing sho i could do would be to go home. “Ypu cant imagine whit a trial it is for me to leave this city, without his , body, or even seeing him, but my babe I will miss mo, and 1 will return on the i : fterho m traia.” “Yi-s, Mr-. Bristol; that is the' best thing you can do, I think. In all proba- . Dility the b >dy will never be found.” Oh‘, how sud the poor little wif. 's he tri; was as she left Chi ago. ■ nd she was hurled rapidly on to a still sadder scene. A wreck on the road had caused a delay, and it was quite Lite before Len r.i reached Michigan City. No earring - win tin re to meet her from the muDsi m, and a heavy mist was fulling; the platform was dull-, empty, un-t a cold, disagree ible wind whistled round the corner of the depot. "Ai our carritfgc is not here, Thomas, you mu t go and order one. that we may get home as soon as possible.” die carriage soon arrived at tin dark, gloomy statimi-h<>use, and in a very i-hort tim - i stopped at the n ansion gate; all was dur ~ an I the mansion a okvtl descried, indeed. Lenorn went slowly and tremblingly up th-' lone w Ik io th? great h.dl door ami enten d; the gas was turne I so lo>\ that she could scarcely see her way. and a feeling of utter wearii e s of some new troubl', seemed to weigh upon ihe now sufficiently tried soul. She went t ' the nursery first, closely followed by her m i d. but ail was darkness. : n I nurse and 1 abe were gone. Nothing m re vas left for the lone wife; h r 1 t le da: ling that w as s > <h ar to her. and tha 1 ' was put of herself a- d lur lost, loving husband, had been taken from her also. “Oh, 1 ath r in heaven, what dost Thou mein? Wilt Thou, oh G >d hide Thy f.ve from m-' forever?” and she w-umr her little hands ami moaned in her agdny of despair. She sank down tipi?n u chair while her great, dreamy, sunken eyes gazed v e irily roun 1 the rom and rested ujion a tall, dark figure in the- door-way. Lula hid ligh e l the gas, and Lenora could easily r e?gni :e the figure in the d or, for it was Jeannette, ami on h r lace rested a look of s.om and mighty hatred. "Where is my Lab?, Jeannette? and there must lie a letter here for we from my husband?” "Ha! ha! Your husband! your babe! Yes, you foul murd. r ss, you may well ask where they are. If you would lus think you'might guess. Both of their bodies are now at the bottom of Lake Michigan, and yours ought to be there .also ; you have killed them indirectly Jeannette stopped a moment to notice the effect of her words, and to 4 aw breath. The hot, fiendish breath almost fanned Lenora’s blanched, cold cheeks; she sat motionless, while her eyes rested/on Jeannette in a strange, Wild, dazed 'ashion. “■Lather, have mercy; .'■pare me a littl>.” • “ Yes. you ought to call upon God for mercy; b. t, (ha iks to that God. your sins have found yo i out. A l out dusk this eveiling it man came, here in a caniage Mi l d manded < f me your babe; lie tal l tliit he was your lawful husband, and that porr Lay was the victim of your d ep d ception, as well as himself.

Not on 30 rseli but on your vif.fciins. What? will my poor aunt say when she returns home and finds her Jiouse desoTted and disgraced? Thai child that slie soon hoped to see, but now never shall, was carried off by that man to be cast in those deep, daflk waters with its. father.

Prospective How Over a County-Seat. For several years Elkhart has been making strenuous efforts to place itself in position to have the court-house re- j moved fro”- Goshen to, her city. In order to ran e the change a certain por- > tiou of the tnx-jmyers of the county . i giving their assent thereto is required. I To get such a majority Elkhart has in- ■ ! dnlged in several “boi«ns” tending to . । increase her populatioil, while Goshen has not only had an eqffal growth, but has secured railroad connections with 1 outlying townships of the cqlinty, ex- i pictiug by this means to give people I living in t he rural districts better faCil- | ities in getting to Goshen than Elkhart ' J jiossessed. Tin- strife finally culminated I in the introduction of a bill in the j I legislature by Senator Hubbell which (.provides for the establishment of a Superior Court at Elkhart, which, if passed, would mean a new court-house, j il, judge, and deputy county officials there with the ultimate expectation of the removal of the ['resent court-house. Republicans and Democrats alike in Goshen are indignant, and say that hereafter at caucuses anil elections, the county-seat controversy will bo the I issue, and that no Elkhart man need . iqqil.v for office.

It is supposed to be founded on her friendship for Lady Randolph Churchill. The Princesses read many American authors and are collecting photographs of views of cities, buildings,and scenery generally of the United States. It is the desire of the illustrious ladies to visit this country, but the divinity which doth hedge about a future Queen of England forbids her to visit a country where every woman is every other woman's equal in the eye of the law. So the gossips say, but this feeling does not prevent her visiting Nice. Not a Case of Won't. "I desire to insert this small advertisement in your paper to-morrow morning,” said she. “This,” said the adverising clerk looking it over, “will go in the ‘wants.’ “Have you no ‘wish column. “No, inum.” “Then, sir,” said the young lady 1 from Boston, haughtily, “you need not insert it.

WHAT THE LESSON TEACHES. lon^Vv d’ /Ae ° thei ' Side - And itwas a 1 ia ‘ d 1 A boisterous, windtossed sea lay between, and ere the boat could make a landing Christ must arise from the pillow of the ship and in his divine power bid the raging elements “be still.” 80 cnHh 8 B n I ^ Lord J K SUS to our £ iu-eursed cflrth. so presses he over “unto the other side of God s universe where sin is and where we find ourselves. Through ni nt of A Um l lat i‘°^ - md B , tor m of passion the divine Ono hurls himself till he touches on our desolate coasts. "Herein is love, not that x\ e loved God but that he loved us and sent ins bon. Neither could anyman tame him. But wc try to do it. We attempt nil sorts of human expedients to exorcise the evil spirits that creep into men. Medicine will not reach all maladies, letters will not lay nil devils, culture will not subdue all demons of the heart. The conqueror has not yet come. No man could or ever can tame that spirit >1 demoniacal possession which seizes on all self-oentered hearts and is here typified. No man. But Christ can. Let the smitten soul turn to Jesus. We can imagine the solicitude of this man’s friends as in his fienzy he breaks his chains and flees again out of the city” into the desolate region of the tombs. Yet right there Jesus finds him given up by his kinsfolk and neigabors. Right there wandering souls are still found by him who “came to seek and to save that which was lost.” Saw Jesus afar off. Satan recognizes Jesus. Ho often discovers him before the very elect and begins to prepare for his approach. He sees him afar off. There is a revival spirit springing up. Church members have been moved to pray and labor more heartily for the conversion of sinners. They are in earnest, but they scarcely see that Jesus of Nazareth is drawing nigh. Satan sees it. Straightway a variety of social parties and diversions are planned. Ihere has been no convention except among the evil spirits themselves, in their unseen counsels, but the dance, and whist, and various forms of dissipation and gayety, some of them wholly innocent, if seasonably placed, others questionable, others positively bad, ' all are crowded into that narrow limit of ; time when special effort is being made lor । the unsaved. We are making no endeavor i to describe any particular community, but how far short does it come, brother, of rep- ’ resenting the situation with you, now or in : the near past? What have Ito do with theet Not much, to be sure; but I have somewhat to do with thee, thou adversary of souls: I am come to destroy thee! All that Satan uesires is to be let alone, and much of this modern erv i for license and liberty is simply the devil’s protest against interference in his fell work. There were two spirits to be dealt with here, the master-spirit of the devil which cried out so querulously, and the subject-spirit of the man which came and prostrated itself in lowliness. It was for the sake of the latter more particularly that our Lord crossed I the lake. They were as one spirit at the I first, “Torment me not,” was the voice of ; the demoniac, who did not yet realize that i the despot demon was his torment. Christ ! spoke and the two were separate. SataE ! fleeing down the steep in the frantic swine i and the man sitting subdued and sweettempered before the Christ. That is what Jesus has it in his heart “to do" with all demoniacal possessions. Come out of the. man, thou unclean spirit. AVhcn Jesus comes the unclean spirit goes out. At Northfield a few years ago Dr. A. J. Gordon asked the question, “How can we be filled with the Spirit?" and answered very truly, “Well, we can’t fill ourselves. But there is one thing we can do; we can empty ourselves. . . . If we can make a vacuum in our hearts the Holy Spirit will fill them.” Il was a strong, effective pica for self-humiliation and selfsurrender. But when Mr. Moody spoke on the same theme in the afternoon he said: “I think I could have said ‘Amen’ to almost everything in this morning's service; but I couldn't quite agree with Dr. Gordon when ho said a man could empty himself. . . . Well, I know I can't empty my heart. I can’t get the pride out of my heart. .. . But if a man desires above everything else—that he shall decrease and Christ increase, then I believe the Lord will pour the water ' down so that it will crowd out all these tilings.” They were both right; two sides of the same truth—the truth hinted at above. , They began to pray him to depart out of their coasts. This was one effect of our Lord’s wondrous ministry, a fear which issued in rejection of Christ rather than in his acceptance. Solicitude is not salvation; alarm does not always lead to repentance. There is a fear that is other than "godly fear.” Wo see it so to-day. Men are startled bv the advent of Jesus to the coast of their Hearts; but, alas, what stirs them most is "tlie descent of the swine into the sea. and when you get at the bottom of their dismay you find it merely a selfish, mercenary anxiety least thev be deprived of certain lusts of this life. The cry of such, perhaps unspoken, but winged toward God, is: Depart, depart!” And O, saddest words of gospel narrative, as recorded by Luke: And he went up into the ship and returned back again.” He took them at their word. Christ xHll hear vour cry, impenitent. You may send your Lord and Saviour away. You may be doing it this moment. Prayed him that he might be with him. Tuis was the other way of receiving tha miracle, Some men besought Chnst to depart.
