Mr Locke, a man of gray bair, though numbering about fifty years, rose from his arm chair, and much affected, greeted the fa miliar face. The son of the cashier accompanied him, and while the elders talked together, Alice and the 3-oung man gre quite chatty. "Yes, sir, I have been unfortunate, said Mr. Locke, in a low tone.

The Harrisburg A Scotch paper The Haddington Courier has aa extraordinary story of the escape of a miner who feil down tne snart ot a coal pit near Tranent. An old. shaft wa made use of to open up a.

communication with a new pit recently sunk. About half way down the shaft, which was 270 feet deep, a wooden staging, compose I of strong two inch planks, was mult, mp eteij- intersecting he down to ali'ord a firm foot- ng to the miners entering the side shaft. At the bottom of tho down shaft was considerable accumulation of water, as is usual in pits which have not been works i for iscma time, On the cccasionin question, a young man named Mylne, ratuer than wait for the comparativelv tedious process of being lowered down by tho wind- ass, said he would elide down the rope. Disregarding tho advice ol us companions, he got upon the rope, and they were in another moment hornned to see that he had lost hold of it. The crash of bis body against the wooden staging was heard, and they were making preparations to descend for the mangled remains, when a cry for assistance was heard coming up from tho veiy bottom of the pit.

The rapidity of his descent of 170 feet had propelled him through the two-inch boards as neatty as it his body had been a rifle bullet, and with about as little miury, tor not a bone was broken, and except a small scratch on the chin, his person aid not bear the slightest mark of coming in contact with anything during the descent. Falling into the. water the bottom, he had, on coming to the surface, providentially. tlirpwn his arms over some woo len ffeme-wortc which happened to- be ana had thus been saveU The. man was found there, and was conveyed home quite and under medical care was soon to go out of doors.

The story has certainly the appear ance of a fah'e, yet if it is possible to shoot a candle through an inch board, why cannot a man be shot through a two-men plank lhe narrative is at, least amusing, and anj'body who chooses can have the uberty or doubt ing that it is well authenticated.

They all looked at it; end plunged their hind into 'he barrel, and bit a ker- nal or so, Mid then gave it as their universal opinion that Hero wasn't a pea in it.

"Well," said he, "spell that point ing to the word painted on the side of the harrel.

A Ind'annpolis letter writer savs While passing through the Union Depot a tew days ago I was accosted by a one armed man in faded army blue. His apparent familiarity surprised me at first," but I soon recognized him as an old acquaintance. This is not the place for a biography, but the history of this man "is sufficiently exceptional and interesting to deserve at least a passing notice.

Fourteen years ago I first saw him working at a windlass in the' gold diggings of Australia. He and his three partners hoisted by that windlass, from a single shaft, more than eight hundred thousand dollars. A few months later I la le him good bye, as ho sailed from Melbourne for New York, with two hundred thousand in bills of exchange in his pocket. I next saw him a wounded rebel soldier, lying on the battle field of Anlietam. A little more than a year later, I saw him as a Union soldier, lying in a hospital in Tennessee To day ho is a he'p'ess wanderer, de pending on charity for a dinner.

"What is the price of this dressing gown, sir aked a sweet-laced girl, entering the elegant store of Huntlej "Yarner, in a city and a street of a city which shall be nameless. It was cloudy day The clerks lounged over the coun and yawned.

The man to whom -T" 1 1 1 1 viico jjaKo aaaressea nerseit was jaunty, and middle aged. He was head clerk of the ITantley Warner, ana extremeiy consequential man ner. "This dressing gown Ave six dollars you shalr have for five, as trade is dull to-day." Fix- Alice looked at the drcss- lintrgown loninsrly, the clerk looked at Ler. He Raw that her CiOtI.es were made ana worn genteelly, were common enough in texture, and rnat her lace was out the com TT 1 1 mon line, now it cnanea now fiiiaaea, now lighted up oy the varied i play of Ler emotions. The clerk could almost have sworn that she had i more than that sr.tn, five dollars, her possession.

The gown was a very good one.for the price. It was a common- shade, tolerable merino, and lined with the same material. "I think hesitating a moment, '-I think I'll take it," she said then seeing in the face be'bre her an expression she did not like, she blushed she handed out the hill the clerk had. made np his mind to take uJennis," cried Torrent, the head clerk, in pompous, quick tone, "pass np that bank note detector." Up ran the tow-headed boy with the detector, and down ran the clerk's eye from column to column. Then he looked over with a sharp glance and exclaimed "That's a counterfeit bill, "Counterfeit! Oh, no, it cannot be! The man who pent it could not have been so careless you must be mistaken, sir." "I am not mistaken I'm never mistaken This bill is counterfeit.

I must presume, ol coarse that you did not know it, although so much bad money has been offered us of late that we intend to secure such persons as use it. Who did tou say sent it Mr. sir, of New York. He could not send me bad money," said the trembling, frightened girl. "Humph said the clerk.

"Weil, there's no doubt about this you can see for -yourself Now don't let me see "you here again until you can bring good money, for w-e always suspect such persons as you that come on dark days with a well made story. "But, sir," "You need make no explanations, Miss," said the clerk, insultingly, "Take your bill, and the next time you warn to ouj' a dressing gown, don't try to pass your counterfeit money," and as he handed it tho bill fell from his hands. Alice caught it from the floor find hurried into tho street. Ducn a siiock me gin naa never received. She hurried, to a banking establishment, and found her way in ana presented tne note to a noble looking man with gray hair, faltering out, "is this bill a bad one, sir? The cashier and his son happened to be the only persons present Both noticed ber extreme youth, bcaatj and agitation.

"It's a good bill, young lady." "I knew it was," cried Alice, with a quivering lip, "and he dared" She could go no further, but en tircly overcame, she bent her head, and the hot tears had their way. "I beg your pardon, have you had any trouble with it asked the cash ier. themselves without resistance until society is threatened with utter cor ruption and dcca huch the fact now with the crime ini'anticide be- bre or, more accurate-y, iccti- cide. So general aud destructive bus this'Crime become as to cause reasonable alarm, and at length the silence is broken, and the doctors of medicine, and divinity unite in solemn re monstrance and appeal against its guilt and danger. A most impressive article on the subject appears in the tJoston "Jongregationalist, irom the pen of Dr.

Todd, of Pittsfield. Dr. Morse Stewart, an influential phj-sieian of Detroit, Michigan, has contributed to ttie estern Medica tv paper discussing the physi ological ertorts ot abortion, as well as the moral guilt ot the prau ico, and making startling disclosures as to its prevalence, and he immense amount of disease and death resulting from it. The Chicago Northwestern Advocate, the; leading Methodist pa per 01 that section, is treating the subject with great plainness andfidel hty, and there is a general disposition among toe respectable medical jour nals and the denominational press so to discuss the whole subject that the crime shall no longer be jgnorantlv committed by their readers. It is a work which the secular press may well cooperate.

Dr. Stewart declares that his sta tistics, confirmed by the observation of physicians, prove that there is no crime more surehT punished in the persons of those committing it than that oi abortion, and that more live are lost by it than by childbirth. Of thoso who survive the operation the majority are made invalid for life'by a complication of incurable disorders that break aown the constitution and often produce insanity. hen trie attempt fails, the child that escapes the fate plotted for it, and often the succeeding children, will be deformed idiotic or oiseaeea various ways. The crime is never safe, and when the evil consequences of the unnatu ral act are apparently, evaded at the time, they are certain to be developed later, and to bring terrible retribu tion upon the mother.

There is general concurrence in the opinion that the practice of abortion has rapidly increased within a few vears until it may be said to be com mon. Dr. Stewart declares that if every mother guilty of it should be hung for murder, the married women would ce annost decimated, tor the criminals' are chiefly married women bor tne single woman, deceived and betrayed, there would seem to be some excuse in resorting to this mean to conceal her shame. The wile, wh? desires to escape the: pain of child birth and the trouble of rearing off spring, and so ruthlessly outrage her maternal instincts and destroy her unborn children, cannot satisty her conscience with the selfish and cowardly reasons which move her to the unnatural crime. The Christian Woman.

Ono thing is certain none who are educated in a home of Christian piety can ever afterwards be led to despite religion. The world may lure them into for-getfulness; folly and vice may. for a time make them deaf and blind; the may wander far into the paths of evil, and spend many years in tumultuous enjoyment of passion, but tho memory of such a home, the echoes of the songs of childhood, the visions of the family altar where once an unbroken band was sheltered under the wings of Divine protection, and father, mother, brother, sister, now dead or far away, sang the dear old heart hymns and joined in the same praj-er; all these will revisit the soul of the wanderer and his heart of stone. Memory's guiding hand will lead him back to childhood's haunts and the old hearthstone, until his begrimmed nature will loathe itself and long above all things to be restored to the purity and freshness of those early 3 ears. Alas ibr the sinful wanderer whose memories can guide him back to eueh seenes! Alas for the home that sends forth its inmates into the perilous world with no golden links of pious remembrance to check the whispers of fallen human nature The old story of the lazy schoolboy who spelled Andrew Jackson, Jaxn.
