HEATH IX THE PIT.
Atar djoTer the prettiest lus in
th Yjuagfe; arid T loved Ler, but. ;"
'2 at, all tip young chaps weie of ttrj
jaine minor, cut aa,never looked at on 1
more than another. VTe day there wsaj
do work in the pit for nTyns, and so f
raatle np mind that, I -would go and haw
it ont vritti Amy. I set ont with a brave'
enough heartr but just us I reached the
cottage, who should come out but Amy
hersBiLftoltiag prettier than ever; but
appearing bo suddenly she dashed my
spirit, and I hadn't a word to say to her.
"Why, Charley, what is the matter?"
she exclaimed, iu a frightened sort of a
Tray.
Well, it is just this," I said. And I
there came to a full stop."
"Is anything wrong, with Jack?" she
asked, eagerly.
"Jackr
"Jes; he is down in the pit, and they
say it is foul, which makes me and mother
very uneasy. You have not heard any
thing?" .
No," I answered steadier now that I
could comfort her. "He is all right.
You mustn't mind what old women suy.or
you'll be lookin' for a blow up every
day in the year, when there is nothing
more than common. I haven't come
about Jack; it is about mj self."
She looked at me; then her cheeks
flushed, and she turned away.
"I want to tell you how I love you; I
can't say all I want to, but. here I am,
and I wouldn't change myself for a king,
i you will take me just as I am."
"Ah, you don't know how you pain
me," ahe answered.
""Don't say that. Amy; but if you have
pity in your heart show it to me, and I
will cherioh you faithfully to the day of
ray death."
"It is uo U3e. I can never marry a
pitman. I gnve the ptomiso to mother
and Jack over the graved of my father
arid three brothers, all killed at one
time'
" aha then looked at me through a mist
of tears, and I turned and left her with
out a word.
I felt as if the sun wonld never shine
for me any more; I thought I might as
well be in my grave as to try to live
" there." "Why shouldn't I go to York
shire or Derbyshire, or even to the dig
gings in Australia, for that matter? The
notion of it Rave me a littlo spirit. It
turned my thoughts, and I stepped out
more briskly, going straight home. I
badnt much to settle there, only to bid
good-bye to the people I had lived with,
and I soon came out, pack in hand, and
began my tramp.
"I was walking on, when suddenly the
air rang with a crash which shook
the ground. I knew what it signified;
such sounds denote but one result in the
Black Country and, throwing down my
pack, darted off to the pit.
It didn't seem a minute before I came
to the dust heaps rpund the pit's mouth,
but some were there before me, and the
people were rushing from the village in
a stream. The smell from the pit almost
threw me down as I came up, and I had
to get my breath a little when three or
four of us crept on -to the mouth and
looked down. The explosion had de
stroyed the cage, bat it hadn't injured
the signaVrope; hence a means of com-,
munication remained for any one imme
diately below. An soon as I saw this I
proceeded to rig a cross-bar, and pres
ently had it ready.
"Just lower me gently; I may pick uy
one or two, if there's any near," I said to
two banksmen.
"You can't po down " there yet," said
the viewer. How many are there in the
pit?"
"Half an hour ago there were fifty;
but I'm thankful to say that they all
camo up but then," replied the time
keeper. 'And they are lost, for there will be
another explosion presently," said the
viewer
"I'll go down anyhow,"I said doggedly;
"and if no one will lower me, I'll jump
down."
A good many were on the heaps now,
'and two or three called out, "God bless
you. God bless you, dear lad." The
bankmen lowered me down, and I sank
through' tbe mouth of the pit. A Davy
lamp was tied -round my wrist, and I
held a rope in my hand, so that I might
signal to be hoisted up, if the air became
foul. Butlhad.no intention of going
back until I bad searched the pit and as
certained if there were any alive. One
thing, I didn't care about my own life;
and another, I would have been ashamed
to face the folks above without
doing something, so I felt impatient that
they lowered me at sucna snail's pace.
I .kept looking up and down! to measure
the distance yet to be traversed. But my
progress was notified by the increasing
density of tbe air which began to affect
my rreathiug; and as I went down I was
obliged to shift my face from side to
" side to make a little current. At last
mr feet touched the ground.
"I looked around as I jumped off the
straddle, and saw the furnace was out.
which put fa stop to the ventilation of
the mine, and no air entered exoept by
the shaft. The stench was overpowering
and from tbis and the silence I guessed
the worst. It was evident that the ex
plosion had killed the horses, for no
sound came from the stables, which
were close to tbo shaft; ana what, hope
could there be for human -beings in a
distant part of the pit?v I did not stand
to make these reflections; I was . working
forward as they passed through my mind.
I knew the bid pit blindfolded, but wh&t
with the gloom and my shortness of
breath, I was some minutes scrambling
to tbe inclined When I reached the first
gallery I pushed open the trap and went
on a few steps, but my lamp was ."afire"
and I knew the atmosphere was so much
gunpowder. As I stumbled along it
came into my head , what Amy had said.
about Jack being in the pit. I - rushed
forward like mad; my foot struck some
thing; I bent over wifAt appeared to be
a corpse, and the gleam of . my lamb fell
upon its face. It was Jack. . I caught
him in my arms, and with the strength of
of a giant an,d the speed of a deer
hardly conscious, hardly breathing I
made a dash for the shaft. "
It was easier work going back, when
you were in the main or horse road, and
I found that Jack was breathing .when I
reached the shaft. Tho disoovery kept
all my senses at work without my "seem
ing to notice it.': I only felt that Uh ere
would be another explosion. K I- placed
Jack on the straddle and tied him hand
and foot; then pulled the signal ' rope,
and as the people above .hauled the
taekle, I hung on by my arms. ';-
It wasn't till we had Veached twenty
feet up that I felt the strain of standing
on nothing; but from that moment it be
came terrible. My hands seemed ready
to soap, and my hed spun rqund in'an
agony. I watched the mouth of the pit
till my eyes swam,-and I thought I must
drop before I reached the'top; "Then
they began to Jioist faster; I could see
the walls of the shaft; I could feel the
purer air; I heard voices; and presently
strong arms caught me, and I was landed
on the bank. -
They had Jack off the straddle before
you'could look round, and be was carried
away, while they raised my bead and
poured a little brandy into -my mouth.
I called out for the viewer.
"What is it, Charley ?"heasked. bend-i
ing over me. , . - : 1 ' .
"Everybody away from the mouth of
the pit, sir," I said. -.s " i':
"1'ou are right; it will come in a min
ute or two," he answered. v
They got me to the top-' of the bankL
when I heard a scream, and there-, was
Amy trying to throw herself on her
brother, but kept back by the other
women. She never glanced at me. I
wished then that I bad stayed in the pit,
or let myself drop from the bar as I
came up, and so escaped seeing her
again. But I Lad .made up my mind
that I had looked on her for the last time.
I told my helpers that I could walk, pow;
and when they let ga my arms I turned
toward the moor intending to pick up
ray pack and drag to the next Tillages
But I could no more walk five miles than
I conld rly. Whe& I came to my pack I
sat down by it and felt that I must, give
up. I was so beat that though the sec
ond explosion at the pit shook the
ground under me, I didn't lift my head.
All I thought of was lying quiet. By
degrees I recovered a little strength, and
my thoughts took mo to my old lodging,
where I decided to rtvt before I set out
on my wanderings.
Tbe day passed, and the night, and tbe
next day, and I was still in bed, the eood
folks of the house attending me like a
child. My limbs, which had been racked
by pain, now felt easy, and I was ready
for a start again. But I thonght there
would be opposition, so I got up very-
quiet, and was putting on my things
when the door opened and in came Jack
Glover.
"Hilloa, Charley, here wo are!" he
cried, seizing my hand and giving it a
hearty squeeze. " Who would have
thought of us two chaps being alive to
day?" "Well, Jack, I am glad for you, but I
shouldn't have cared for myself."
"How's that?"
"I have something on my mind."
"You!" be said, laughing and giving
me a littie push. "Hre, sit down end
have a pipe, ami it will all go off like the
smoke."
"I don't care if I never smoke again."
I said, savagely.
''Now, I'll tell you..what it i9; you've
been having a tiff with our Amy,' said
Jack.
"I haven't."
"Well, you know best about that, but
you were seen talking with her. and she
had a crying fit directly after. And when
she heard from me that it was you who
brought me up from the pit, she fainted
in my arms."
"Didn't she know that till vou told
her ?" I asked. '
"No."
"Then I'll just tell you about her and
mo," I said.
I was a long time telling it, but Jack
sat up as if he was listening to a play or
a sermon at chapel. I told him of the
feelings Amy had raised in my heart ;
told him how I had watched for her,
thought of her, dreamed of her, and,
finally, recounted our latest .colloquy.
During the whole time Jack did not moye
a muscle, and not till I stopped for breath
did he put in a word. '
"Don't you think you have been a lit
tle fast, old boy?" he then said. j f
' "How do you mean?" .
'Why, in giving up so. Suppose when
Amy said she couldn't have you, you had
put your arm around her waist and said
she must?" j
The view had never struck me, and
rather took me aback. ' j
"But there was her promise to you
and her mother never to get married to a
pitman."
" So there was. But did you never
hear that promises were made to be brok
en
"I can't say but I have," I muttered,
clapping on my hut.
"Where are you going ?"
"You wait hero a minute."
With that I took two strides down the
stairs into the road into Mrs. Glover's
cottage. I stood outside a minute, then
I opened the door, and the first thing I
saw was Amy sitting by her mother, look
ing like a ghost only ghosts never look
pretty. She gave me one. look, then
started up and spraug into my arms. :My
heart was so full I couldn't speak at first,
but I thought I must do something, so I
slipped my arm around hor waist, as
Jack recommended. Now I felt sure of
her, and ef all the happiness the world
could give, and as my breast swelled
with pride and joy, I also began to bear
a little malice. I
"Ah, Amy, if you had only loved mo,"
I said. j
She gently tightened her arms around
my neck. . j
"How happy we might have been," I
continued.
"Then we cau 1e, Charley," she res
ponded. "How? Wo can never marry,! you
know."
The little fingers unlocked, and I felt
Amy falling away, but I remembered
Jack's counsel and still held tight by her
waist.
"There's your promise to your mother
and Jack; bow are we get over that ?'' I
continued.
' I forgot that," faltered Amy, as white
as a sheet..
"And what do you say to it, mother?"
I cried to the old lady. 1
Mrs. Glover rose and took Amy's hand
and put it in mine.
"That's what I say to it," she saidj
heartily; "and Jack is of the same mind."
"And this is what I say to it," I -cried,
giving the girl a kiss.
You won't be surprised to hear that we
.were married the next week. And now I
am tbe viewer of tho colliery; and as for
Amy, she will toll you that, though she
has married a pitman, and has her ups
and downs like other people, there is no
happier woman in the kingdom. -

. A savant at work and a savant at play!
Whas a different creature! Of the many
who were accustomed to listen to him
with deference and respect at vari6us
gatherings of the learned, how few wouftl
have recognized bim now! W j
have
six
live, and bod friends as old as himself
who maintained that in his schooldays
he was not in the least like a boy, and
that iu early manhood he was as little
like other young men as could well be
imagined.
Throughout his parchment-like ex
istence Mr. Grimshaw had been absolute
ly impervious to the tender passion. His
warmest feelings were those which he
bestowed upon the future of Africa as a
colony, while the interest he took in the
Water Supply of his neighborhood was
stronger than any ever won from him by
blue eyes or brown.
In the calm security of his wealth,
noted ability and dried-up temperament,
Mr. Grimshaw went to dine one evening
at the house of a married friend, an M.
P., of expansive waistcoat and with an
unconquerable conviction that tho im
portance which attached to him in the
rural district be had the honor of repre
senting in parliament was equally felt in
London. As this gentleman kept an in
valuable cook, and gave many dinners,
no one interfered with his harmless de
lusion. But the M. P. ,had a sister, and she was
a widow. The widow was just under
forty, and in the full possession of much
beauty; which as tho dear departed
conld no longer value it she now de
sired should be a comfort to another.
She thought Mr. Grimshaw looked lone
ly, and it was but a short time before she
convinced bim that he was so.
It seemed that in proportion to his form
er callousness Mr. Grimshaw was now to
suffer the tortures of love. His fair one
first attracted, then repelled him; and it
was just three weeks after the dinner
party at which they bad first met, that
the elderly gentleman by nn effort of his
mighty intellect pulled himself together,
nnd resolved to ask tbe m'omenteons
question. With extraordinary care he
dressed himself, and was caught by his
soft-stepping valet in the act of grace
fully bowing and presenting a hair-brush
to himself in the cheval glass! Could
the astonished man have seen the choice
boquet with which bis master afterward
ascended the steps of the M. P.'s house,
he would have understood better why
the hair-brush had been practiced with.
The flowers were accepted gracefully;
and, although suffering from such
thumps of the heart as Africa had never
given him, Mr. Grimshaw felt pleased at
the glow qf courage which inspired him,
and fell to business.
'if I may hope" be softly whispered.
She widow drooped her eyes and
blushed. She had long decided that his
fortune and the carriage it would enable
her to drive in were worth a real blush.
She yielded her plump hand and return
ed the faintest pressure.
"My life shall be devoted"
"What remains of it," mentally cor
rected the widow, with a critical glance
at the bald patch on her suitor's head.
"To your happiness," pursued Mr.
Grimshaw.
The conversation then turned to a
place of residence. He had always lived
in London; but perhaps she would lik6
the country better?
She would not have him change his
habits for the world country places
were mostly damp. Yes, she adored
flowers, but where were they so beauti
ful as in London?
Thus far all went well. Visions of
a quiet residence where art should ren
der everything as harmonious and beau
tiful as the home of such a woman
should be, flitted deliriously through
the brain of the happy Mr. Grimshaw,
and with impassioned fervor he flung
himself on his knees and implored the
widow to name the day.
Silence, save their own voice, had
reigned supreme. Flowers bloomed in
the balcony, sweets scents were wafted
in by the gentle breeze of early summer,
and, for tbe first time in his life, Mr.
Grimshaw felt young. Ifhs had only
looked less withered and sere, his ardent
attitude might have moved a stone.
With gentle hesitation the widow
listened, and would have speedily fixed
an early day while praying for delay; but,
in place of her dulcet accents, there
rang out clear, upon the silence a child's
shrill voice from the adjoining room:
only divided from this by heavy cur
tains, through which a pair of blue eyes
peeped eagerly.
"Conie,felly! Come and aeo the fnnny
old gentleman 'saying his prayers to
mamma!" :
An electric battery conld not have
caused Mr. Grimshaw a greater shock!
First his mortification that his most
sacred privacy had been pried into;
next, that terrible word "mamma!"
"Yon haye children, then?" he in
quired, in an aggrieved tone.
"Of course; every one knows I have
five!" the fair widow announced, with
some petulance in her tone.
"I did not know it, madam. It is alto
gether unfortunate. I ah really 'I
never could bear children."
'Say no more, sir," loftily interrupted
the injured lady, sweeping from the
room. .
All Mr. Grimshaw's friends can now
recognize him again, and from his calm
and uninterrupted" inteiest in the
colonies to bo established in Africa, and
the water supply in London, the world
reaps a rich harvest or will, some day.
A Nail in His Head.
The physicians in one, of the hospitals
of Vienna have made the remarkable
discovery, in dissecting the body of one
of their patients, that he had carried
about ' in his brain an iron nail covered
with rust that, to all, appearances,- must
have held its ,' singular lodgment since
early childhood. The' man ws fortv-five
years of age. a bookbinder, and always
passed for a thoroughly intelligent per
son. The nail in his brain did not eoem
to affect his mental powers in any parti
cular. Thero is probably no case on
record to parallel this.

Mellow Decay.
Several cities lying on the Massachu
setts coast seem to be in a state of mel
low decay, as it were. Newburyport is
probably the most old-fashioned and old
fogy place on the continent. It is rich
in recollections, however, and is a fiue
spot for residence during the hot weath
er. Next to Newburyport is Salem. Old
tutor Flynt took a trip in 1754, driving
in a chair to Portsmouth, New Hamp
shire, when be was eighty years old. The
house that Nathaniel Hawthorne was
born in atill stands. It will be remem
bered that Hawthorne's grandfather,
Daniel, was a privateersman in the revo
lutionary war.
; Salem created the" India trade. A story
is told that when its vessels vpnt trading
t;0 the East Indie, the heathen there
heard so much ' about Salem, and" name
being spelled ont, when possible, in, suob
big letters on the stern of tho ships that
they had an idea Salem was an immense

Cooking as a Find Art.
It cannot be denied that good cooking
is au important element in home life and
happiness. Many people think that
while a girl must go to school for years
to accomplish a knowledge of then own
and foreigu languages, and must have
masters for this and that accomplish
ment, she may be safely left to pick up a
knowledge of cooking after she has a
household of her own. This is a great
mistake- I once myself had a dreadful
time in trying to prexmra a dinner in the
absence of my faithful Bridget, and I
would have given up Latin, Greek and
French that day to have known when the
potatoes were done, and to have discov
ered how to get the peas and beans out
of the water in which they were floating.
To be a good cook, girls, ono needs a
light, firm hand, an accurate eve, and a
patient temper. One needs, too,' a few
rules and a trasty cook-book. We have
all seen tho easy way in which a gocd
cook makes a cake. She tosses three or
four things together, gives a flirt of the
spice-box, and a feathery touch or two
of her foamy eggs, pops the pan into the
ovon, and presto! there appears the per
fect loaf. And if you ask her bow she
did this or that part of her work, she
will very likely smile and say, "Oh, I
used my judgment. The judgment is
the quality which no novice iu cooking
can expect to possess; bnC with patience
and constant practice it will surely
come. " .
How He Won Her:
Miss Catherine Hartness, a society
belle and heiress, occupied a front seat
in the Cleveland Opera House one even
ing lately with Charles II. Patten, a rich
banker of that city, whoo suit to win
her hand had been met with objections
from her parents. The couple watched
Salvini in his unequaled counterfeit of
love and jealousy iu the role of Othello,
but as the final scene of revenge and
death was about to be produced they
went out and took the train for Pitts
burg. Arriving, they summoned a
minister and were married in the hotel.
Then a dispatch was sent to the Hartness
family announcing the marriage, and
that they would return for forgiveness
after a "two months bridal tour. It is
supposed that the bride did not pre
meditate flight on that evening, but that
Salvini's acting and the lover's pleadings
overcame her resolution to obey her
parents.
