SOOTHING SENTIMENT.
The stars sent forth their lambent flame,
Or burning suns their fiercer light;
Ere planets filled the vast inane,
And starless vet the brow of night.
There stretched thro' countless fields of space,
The nebular, unformed and dim;
Till condensation, in his place,
Arose and calmly said "too thin."
And straight the primal atoms rushed
Into molecular embrace:
And molecules, in masses formed,
To fill the worlds with waiting space.
A mere hypothesis is this:
The facts as yet we don't possess;
The nebular hypothesis
Gives all who choose the right to guess.
From nebular to star there's room
For guessing and fancy's play;
Imagination has its "boom
Just now in, scientific way.
But I'm digressing. "Pis a fault
Of mine, this tendency to stray;
My whim I'll have, I must not halt,
At least this side the nebular.
That far off gaseous domain.
Where Stardust thickly strewn doth lie;
And where the potential once had lain,
The stellar growths that gem the sky.
And when new suns are forming still,
As formed the millions now in space:
Where planets yet to be will fill
Each its appointed, destined place.
The twinkling star, the flaming sun
The worn out planet, in whose mass
The slow evolving work shows done,
'Tis said, were all evolved from gas.
From hydrogen may be: perchance
A gas still lighter, found of late
In Aldebaran (I advance
The latest theory) up to date.
Theories are common now; and this,
The latest, will unchallenged pass.
The nebular hyphothesis
Will father all that start from gas.

HER LITTLE ROMANCE.
MARY HIED CROWEI,:..
Evelyn held her pretty little head to
one side, like a meditative sparrow, and
Vere Carrol thought that if she had not
' been his cousin he would have easily
enough fallen in love with her himself,
instead of showing her Chamney's photo
graph and praising up the original to the
very best of his ability.
"He looks handsome. Is he really as
good looking as his pictnre, Vere?"
Evelyn looked up, with a sparkle of
admiration in her own beautiful eyes.
"He's even randsomer than his photo
graph; and, what's more to the point,
he's the very best fellow in the world,"'
he said, enthusiastically.
"Yes," Evelynanswered thoughtfully,
and then her cheeks flushed a little and
the sparkle in her eyes gave place to
gravity.
"It is certainly very much more
to the point, Vere, and I think Mr.
Chamney is a gentleman I would like
could like very well, if only
She hesitated, dropped her lovely
head and then laughed.
"What a girl you are, Evie! "What an
mi measurable girl! You always have an
'if between you and every promise of
pleasure."
"I believe I do," she said, in her
sweet, spirited way. "I have to, Vere,
don't you see? In this case, if only"
and she flashed a saucy smile from her
violet eyes to him "if only Mr. Sydney
Chamney had an income, or a salary, or
even wages of his own, and I was not so
rich as I unfortunately am."
Carroll laughed at the lugubrious lit
tle sigh she uttered.
"You can easily get rid of your
fortune, Evelyn. You might make it
over to a society for Christian burial of
murdered felines, or you could give it to
me, for that matter."
"Don't be absurd, vere," she said,
half vexedly.
"And don't be a goose," he answered,
tartly. "I tell you Syd Chamney is the
grandest fellow out, and if he hadn't the
second coat to his back, he'd deserve the
best woman that walks this earth."
Evelyn looked seriously at the im
perial card Vere had brought her the
face and shoulders of a thoroughly hand
some, manly man; a face with a perfect
mouth, sweet, proud, whose expression
the long, drooping moustache did not
conceal; with well-opened, intelligent
dark eyes, which Evelyn easily imagined
capable of smiling unutterable things to
a woman's heart.
Certainly the very ideal of a grand,
kingly fellow, from the fair, broad brow,
where the dark hair crept carelessly
back, to the very pose he had taken in
the artist's chair.
Evelyn looked up, suddenly, with a
little flash in her eyes that Vere hadn't
seen there yet.
"Why doesn't he come himself, if he
is so anxious to become acquainted
with me?"
Carroll smiled.
"So-ho, my spirited little lady! that's
what the matter, is it? Well, he's com
ing by-and-by. He's not one of your
sort to rush headlong into anything
even a lady's favor. He is off for an in
definite time on a solitary hunting
expedition up in Northern New Jersey,
and the stars only know when he'll come
back. But when he does good-by for
yon, Evelyn, my girl!"
And after Mr. Vere Carrol had hastily
beaten his retreat Evelyn sat thought
fully by the window, studying the face
of Sydney Chamney.
"I do like his looks very much, and no
mistake. I wonder how long it will be
before he comes back."
A big low-ceilinged room, with an
open fire-place, where a huge log lay
blazing and sparkling sending great
streams of light out into the old-fashioned
room.
In front of the fire, beside a table cov
ered with a crimson cloth, Farmer Orr
sat, laboriously reading a weekly paper,
and portly, motherly Mrs. Orr was darn
ing appalling holes in stout gray socks,
from a deep basket by her side. A com
fortable cat slept on a rag nearer the fire;
a pitcher of cider, a plate of rosy apples,
a tin basin of cracked walnuts and hick
ory nuts were on a small shelf in the
chimney corner; and Elbe King, the
pretty little school teacher, who boarded
at the Orr farm house, was leaning back
in a little, low, rush-bottomed chair,
shielding her face from the heat, with a
letter just received from home.
Outside the wind was blowing great
guns, and the night was raw and cold,
a wild bitter night for man or beast to
be abroad, Elbe was thinking, just as a
rapid hurry of footsteps on the ground
outside, nd a knock: at the kitchen door,
disturbed the serene coziness of the
farm-house kitchen.
"Bless my heart," Mr. Orr said, cheer
ily, as he opened the door, "if 'tain't
Mr. Chamney back again! Come right
along in! It's a stormy night, and no
mistake."
"It's I,ure enough, and glad to be
under a roof once more. Mrs. Orr, how
do you do? Mr. Orr, I'm glad to shake
hands with yon again."
He stamped the snow off his thick
boots before he came into the room to
shake hands with host and hostess; and,
as he came into the full light of the fire
and bright lamplight, Ellie King looked
up and saw him of whom, in her month
of residence at the Orr "Farm she had
heard not a little, and decided with
a light sparkle of admiration in her eyes,
that it was all true so far as Mr. Cham
ney's appearance was concerned.
"This is Mr. Chamney, Ellie," Mr.
Orr said, with a certain little pride in his
oice. "That is Miss King, our school
teacher. She boards here, and we're
proper glad to have her here, too."
Sydney bowed, and laughed at the un
conventional introduction, and Elbe
smiled and flushed a little only Mr.
Chamney did not notice either particu
larly. "A country school-teacher," he was
saying to himself, sarcastically. -"Heaven
nrAiwrvs - me. I know 'em all alike.
Well, I'm only going to stay a week,
anyhow."
But, in just exactly an hour, Mr. Syd
ney Chamney had changed his mind,
having discovered that Miss Ellie King
was pretty, and lady-like, and intelli
gent; altogether as different from the
species as a humming-bird from a vul
ture. "A little beauty a little diamond!
he decided, enthusiastically, which was
something very rare for him to do.
"What possible fate has placed her here,
in this out of the way corner of. crea
tion?" Weil, the week came to an end with
! wonderful rapidity, and it seemed that
Ellie and Sydney had been acquainted a
lifetime, instead of only seven days of
escorting her to the school-house, and
seeing her safely home in the little red
sleigh; of going on one or two skating
trips, and some brisk, delightful walks
to the village Post Office, ard seven
evenings of pleasant conversation; intri
cate games of chess, or old-fashioned ap
ple roasting frolics, or molasses-candy
making.
"I don't want to go away, at all," he
said, one bright, sharp morning, as he
drove her to school.
"But of course you must," she an
swered, gravely.
"It seems that woman don't;- at all
events, yon don't," he said, lightly.
"Isn't it a terrible bore to travel along in
the same rut, day after day, week after
week, as you do, Miss Elbe ?"
A wicked Utile sparkle was in her
eyes.
"Not half as great a nuisance as to do
nothing, as yon do."
"But I was brought up not to have
anything much to do, you see. It makes
a difference."
She fixed her pretty, thoughtful eyes
on his handsome face.
"Oh, you are a rich man, then. I
thought, somehow, you were not."
He laughed just the merest bit vexed
at her sincere frankness.
"Rich V No, I am not, unless you
call six hundred a year a fortune."
"I don't earn half that, yet I call my
self rich," Ellie said, quietly. "But
perhaps you expect to inherit a fortune,
Mr. Chamney ?"
"You saucy little catechist! No. I can't
say that I do."
"Then, Mr. Chamney, yon mean to
say that you shall be content to go on,
so long as you live, idling away yonr
time in whatever amusement pleases you
for the moment, and having no good ob
ject to accomplish, no healthy discipline
of daily employment, just because yon
happen to possess enough to feed and
clothe you ?'
There was a sweet, interested kindli
ness in her manner, in her words, that
robbed them of all their sting, and
Sydney Chamney looked almost rever
ently at her.
"I never really thought of it. But"
and a flush reddened his handsome
face "suppose I confess what I do ex
pect what I did expect to do, I mean.
Will you promise you won't quite de
spise me!
She smiled gravely.
"I can tell you more truthfully when I
have heard what you have to say. What
is it?"
He looked earnestly in her sweet, wo
manly face.
"I did intend to marry a fortune, Miss
Ellie."
A painful flush surged over her
cheeks involuntarily she shrank
further away from him.
"I knew it!", he said, impetuously.
"Didn't I say yon would despise me? Of
course, I knew you would, when yon
heard what I had had in my mind, and I
deserve to be despised. But don't for
get I also said I had given up the idea,
for all she was one of the most charm
ingly lovely girls imaginable, if all that
her friends said of her was true, which I
do not doubt. She would be a prize for
any man, even without her riches."
A silence between them followed, dis
turbed only by the soft clangor of the
bells on "Brown Bess'" shafts. Then
Chamney broke it:
"Why don't yon ask me what has
changed my mind, Miss. Ellie?"
A swift, radiant look in her eyes was
instantly hushed.
"Because I think you would tell me
if you want me to know," she answered,
readily.
"I do want you to know. It is yon!"
"I? I? Why, Mr. Chamney, how
when have I impressed yon to "
He interrupted her eagerly. -""
"There has not been an hour but that
I have been conscious of your influence
upon me, Ellie. Your words, yonr daily
toil, yonr cheerful acceptance of the
duties devolving upon you, have shown
me not only what a selfish, worthless fel
low I have been, but what a self-reliant,
ambitious man I purpose to make of my
self. Hitherto, in my absurd stupidity,
I actually have regarded myself as des
tined to be saved from an honest, manly,
work-a-day life u sort of glorified idiot,
to whom fortune must somehow come
with no effort of my own."
He paused, and Ellie looked up, al
most wistfully.
"I am so glad."
"So am I. Iam eager to begin to be
of some use somewhere. What shall I
do, Ellie? Cut lumber, or cart ice, or
turn farm-hand, or what?"
Ellie smiled gravely enough, but it
was a look that stirred his very soul.
"I have heard yon say you had read a
little at law. Take that up, throw all
your resolution and energy into it, and
make a mark, and a fortune! she
added, with a little, merry laugh.
Chamney reined the demure pony in at
the school house gate, and assisted Ellie
out, with careful consideration.
"It has been snch a delightful drive!"
she said.
"I'd no idea we were so near it," he
answered, with a laugh. "It hasn't
seemed more than a five minutes' ride.
There was something else I wanted to
say."
"About the heiress?" Ellie asked de
murely, as she unlocked the school-house
door.
"Oh, the heiress! She may thank her
stars she didn't make the mistake of ac
cepting me. She'll find plenty of better
fellows than me. Won't yon let me
come and see if Ben Peters has made
you a good fire?"
"Just a minute, while you thaw ont.
The pony musn't stand, yon know."
"The pony may stand," he returned.
"He mnst stand, Ellie, until you tell me
you will marry me some day when
I've made myself worthy of you, my darl
ling Ellie. Little girl, yon love me? I
have loved you from the very first."
All the color forsook her face for a
moment.
"Oh, Mr. Chamney, you cannot mean
this?"
"But I do, dear. I need all your love,
your encouragement, your sympathy.
Won't you give them to me with your
self? Do you love me, Ellie?" i
And with tears springing to her eyes.
Ellie laid her head on his breast.
"Oh, Sydney, I cannot help it.''
And then, Mr. Chamney kissed her,
and beat a hasty retreat, as a swarm of
mittened, and hooded, and scarfed schol
ars came trooping in the gate, while El
lie Went about her duties with a rare,
solemn sweetness in her face, and a new,
deep undertone of jubilant 'happiness in
her voice.
And that evening when Farmer Orr
and his wife sat over the fire, calculating
the return from the market sales that day,
Sydney and Ellie stood in the window
of an adjoining room.
"I want to tell yon something Syd
ney," she said in a half pleading voice,
as she nestled to his side, and looked up
in his proud, glad face radiant with the
light of new hope new purpose. "I
want to tell yon I my whole name is
Evelyn Ellinor Carroll; and when Vere
talked so much about you I wanted to
come up here where I knew you were
and learn for myself. You are not angry
with me?"
He looked amazedly at her.
"Ellie! You Miss Carroll Vere's
cousin! The heiress I was to marry if
I could!"
She caressed his hand lovingly.
"The heiress you are to marry, if you
will, Sidney."
He folded her closely to him and
kissed her sweet face over and over.
"I would not let you go if you were
twenty times an heiress! But -my darl
ing, how strange, how incomprehensible
it seems!"
"How delicious and lovely it is!" she
said.
And with her cheek against his. her
supple form inside his arm how could he
say her nay
"And they lived happy ever after."
. Response to Prayer.
The Camden (Me.) Herald of last
week contains the following remarkable
story of healing alledged to be due to
prayer. Mr. Henry F. Thurston, who
vouches for it, is the stepson of the lady
who was cured, and is endorsed by the
Bev. C. E. Libby as a gentleman of char
acter and good standing and a member of
the Free Itaptish (Jhuron in Kockport:
In the spring of 1880, Mrs. Sylvia
Thurston, while returning home from
church, stepped into a hole in the road.
and was thrown to the ground with such
violence that her back was severely in
jured and the bones of her ankle and
foot were wrenched ont of joint. The
injury sustained by the foot was so great
that it was almost impossible to replace
the bones in any kind of position. For
two months she suffered intensely from
a fever brought on by the injuries to her
back, and it was three months be
fore she could sit up. But when
she had recovered from the fever
she was unable to walk save
by the aid of crutches. The broken leg
was useless, and never ceased to pain
her. It was swollen from the toes to the
knee, and was colored a dark purple.
The circulation was almost stopped, and
the leg and foot became cold. The foot
was bent out of position so that only the
toes touched the floor. The family
physician exhausted his skill upon it,
and after several months ceased to doctor
it, believing that only a higher power
could heal it. instead of medicine, he
resorted to prayer. At last Mrs. Thurs
ton herself ceased to work with it, and
she too commenced to pray for its resto
ration. One doctor said it mnst be cut
off, or it would mortify, or else wither
away and die. If the limb was cut off
he desired to purchase it for scientific
purposes. About this time she was
taken sick with diphtheria, and her step
son came from Rockland to take care of
her. One day he was telling her of a
lame man down East who was healed by
the prayers of 1 red McKenney
evangelist, from Portland. Both
at once determined to offer
prayer for the restoration of
the impotent limb, and both kept their
determination, mat night the foot was
so bad that even the drawing of a sheet
over it gave her intense pain. In the
morning the foot, ankle, and leg were in
all things like the other, and as strong.
Several hours afterward as her son went
to her bedside to give her the medicine
the thought flashed upon him: If God
healed the foot can He not also cure her
of this disease? So he did not give her
the medicine, but went and kneeled
down at a sofa in front of her bed and
there silently prayed: "O Lord! make
her every whit whole." Immediately his
mother, though looking at him when he
knelt, dropped off to sleep and dreamed
that the room was full of peoole, all ex
claiming: "Yon are made every whit
whole." In a short time she awoke, and,
in attempting to tell her dream, found
that she was indeed every whit whole.
That morning she rose up and dressed
herself, and on the following Sabbath

self and children, and does all her own
housework, yet her cottage is the focus of
the best society of the locality. A gen
tleman calling there recently was re
ceived at the door by a daughter of the
lady, who told him her mother was too
busy to be called, but that he could see
her in the kitchen if he pleased, and he
followed her to that room. The lady
greeted him without the slightest em
barrassment, though she had on a big
apron, and her sleeves were pinned back
to her shoulders. She was cutting
a pumpkin into strips for pies, and there
sat a venerable gentleman gravely paring
the strips to the accompaniment cf bril

who this gentleman was, and after sev
