THE ItfJMING MOUNTAIN. . Yes, Paouna was proud, very proud. It was not in vain that she possessed such i large eyes, finely arched bluck eyebrows t and a small, aquiline nose. Her mouth, too, though somewhat large, was rosy and well shaped, and when she spoke or laughed her teeth showed like, two white rows of shining earis. Her jet black tresses were bound around her head like coronet, which made tlte countryfolks mockingly call her "Prim de Imparat" (the young empress). Her tall figure and well poised head gave her bo majestic a bearing that she well merited the sobri quet in qnestiou. She was not, however, too proud to turn round wheu Tannas ' passed by, nor to listen to his compliments when they danced the "Horn" together on Sunday evenings on the village green; but wheu any allusion was made to this love affair, Pnouua grew very red and ga - sharp answers to what she consid ered impertinent remarks. ' Many other young peasants in the neigh boring villages, as well as in their own, became envious of Tauuas,more especially when they learned that he and Paouna were really betrothed. But, alas) soon a cruel war broke out and Tannas had to march with the artny to the banks of the -Danube. Poor Paouim pent up her tears in the presence of strangers, and no one dared to ask her even if she shed them in secret. It seemed very long before news j the armv reached her; but when she heard the villagers talking of a battle which had taken place, she had to leau for support against the stone cross at the entrance of the village, so sick and giddy dui she become. Prom that time forth ' mt brought her no repose, and she was -compelled to burn tier little lamp, so as I not to see the phantom which constantly "pursued her tannas, covered witn wounds, dying or dead. ' One gloomy night she was seated on the edge of her bed, her hai'ds crossed on her lap, her eyes wide open looking out into the void, and beetling not footsteps which came stealthily along outside the house, when some one tapped lightly at her window. She sprung to her feet, and, fit! fling a scream, turned round and tried to penetrate the obscurity. It seetued to her that Tannas was there, and at the Maine moment she heard her name softly called. 4 'Paouna, Paouna, dear, come out to me. Pear nothing; it is I, Tannas, only Tannas.' Paouna had already her hand on the lock of the door, and in an instant she was outside. Immediately two strong arms ctasjml her round the waist, but she quickly disengaged herself, saying: "Is it really you, Tannas, or is some oue playing me a trick" "It is no trick, Paouna darling," said he. "See, touch your own ring, and here round my throat is the little sriver image you gave me. I could contain myself no longer, so I came to see if you were still faithful to me." "Who, then, has sent you away from the army!" she asked. "Why, no one, of course." "No onef and yet you are here! The war, then, is ended?" 4,0h. no, they are still fighting, but I stole secretly away for love of you, Paouna," "For love of me," she cried, bursting into wuutL.it.,. lai.,,1.. H.UA Vim think than N that I should be proud to have a deserter for my lover Go away instantly, I im plose you." "Is this your love, Paouna? xou senu me away to my aeam; you vou wiliTVfUt leave me, and mark well Vhat 1 say: Never will I become your wtteever will I take for my husband a man wftom I despise." "You love an other, then?" said he. "No, Tannas, I still love yon, and only yon; for yon only have 1 watched through all these long and weary nights, but never did the idea sug gest itself to me that I loved a coward." Then Paouna hid her lace in her hands and began to weep bitterly. "And I who thought you would receive me so joyfully, And put me in such safe hiding," said he in a disappointed tone. "Oh, shame, shame to me," she cried, "that I should ' be your betrothed I But hear now what I y&iy, tile Bucegi itself shall burn before I 'consent to be your wife. " Here the young tuuUD eauuuiiKcu suvu auyij inuvua Mian their eyes gleamed in the obscurity of the night. Suddenly the sky became illumined by a roseate reflection, and when they looked up it seemed as if the summit of the great mountain, the Bucegi, were in flames. The brightness grew more and more in teuse, and a red fire seemed to shoot up ward from amid a mass of stars. The neighbors ran to their windows and doors, r ry mg out that the forest was on fire, that the mountain was burning. Bogs barked, cocks crowed. Paouna seized the young man by the shoulder, and giving him a vigorous push, cried in a low voice, "(lo tt way from here, go and hide your head, or I shall die of shame." Then hastily i!i closed the door and extinguished her iiimn. In an agony of fear her eyes fol iiwcd Tannas creeping along wider the shade of the cottages. Little heed gave hhe when the neighbors called to her to t ome out and see the miracle of the burn ing mountain. from that night Paouna grew pale and tiim. and was no longer seen to smile: ihe who ussed to 1)6 so fond of jokes and smart , ( he1- gave now but hasty and curt re nt, hu. All day she worked silent and -txiMive. pausing only occasionally to seat iitrselt at the edge ol the fountain and bathe her burning forehead. 'Hoinetimes Mm &fpj on her own reflection in the water or cast a terrified lookup to the );.:i?fittf the Bucegi mountains. -Gradually the rumor spread that Tannas had bften -seen in the village! There were rims who pretended "to hoy recognized rtJJJ y tije iujiv oi the mmiig mountain, and had oven heard his voice in conversa tion with Paouna. When they questioned her as to the truth of this large drops ol perspiration stood on her forehead, her lips grow white and she trembled when she answered; "Was not all dark and silent with us when the Bucegi was in flames?' The mother of Paouna shook her head, bit her lips and pretended that in the age of wickedness must extraor dinary things would come to pass. At length there arrived news from the Danube's banks, news of a fierce strite, of a bloody buttle having lieen fought. This time Paonna was among the last to learn what had occurred, but when it did reorch her earn she rnu quickly home, made up a little bur1.' of IHieu with a i piece c mhmntlga (Indian corn paste),, anil some slices of baked pumpkin and a wooden llask ot water, ami saying to her mother, "Have no fear for me, you will Bee me home again very soon,'! set-of! to walk her long and weary juuruoy. Night came over the battle field, the dead and the dying lay here and there in discriminately mixed, while horses strug gled in their tierce agony and tried to get upon their feet, unconscious that they were riderless. The remnant of the army waai encamped around large fires and had novars for the groans of their quondam comrades, now lying prostrate on the cold earth. One woman alone trnversod the ranks, searching and inquiring for Tannas in every tent. Armed only with her courage, she went alike to friend and foe, giving water to some and examining carefully the faces of those who needed drink no longer. At length the round moon shone full on this scene of horror, and the young girt more easily continued her task, turning now on this side, now on that, kneeling here and there seeking, seeking some one wearing a little metal image tied around his stained and swollen throut some one with a ring which site could readily recognize encir cling his stiffened finger. Tlte camp was now plunged iu sleep, hut still guided by the moon's ray? Paulina pursued her weary course amidst the dying and the dead, home times she gently called, "Tannas, 'lamias, " and occasionally a feeble sigh answered her appeal; then she would hopefully approach, but alter searching from whence the sigh came, and giving water to drink, nnd care fully examining in vain, she shook her head and went wearily nnd sor-! rowfully on her way. At lost the moon disappeared, und the cold gray dawn re place! its friendly benms, when Paouna perceived something Binning in the dis tance. She ran hastily along and found herself beside a seeming corpse, partly stripped of clothing, but with his stiffened hand clasped firmly round some object suspended from his throut. On one of the fingers was the ring which she knew so well, and crying "Tannas," she fell faint and exhausted Ay the side of a blood stained and scarcely recognizable figure, , After a few moments she came to herself again, and set UHWurfc to wash the face of her lost lover. ' Through her tears she could .perceive that a sword cut had traversed the eyes and injured the nose; but, oh. joy! sure sign of life, the blood began again to flow. Speedily she moist ened tlte parched lips, and bound the poor wounded head, Tannas sighed heavily, and hearing his name he sought with his hands to find the face of his benefactor. "My Paouim !" said he, in a feeble voice, "leave me alone to die. I am good for nothing mure on earth, for I am quite blind!"1 "Yes, yesl" cried Paouna, "you or emy beloved, you are my betrothed husband, and, if the good God only wills it, you will soon be my busband in reality. Only re main quiet now; you must rest and be silent while 1 watch by you." Many long weeks have expfred since that cold gray morning dawn, long weeks, during which, by night and day, Paouna Itas watched by the hospital bedside of Tannas, she herself taking no rest, con tent only to be always near himnear him, her hero! Then came a summer day, when two pilgrims were seen coming up the village road a blind man wearing a soldier's cloak, the inedai of honor on his breast, and led with tender solicitude by a young girl, who said, as old menus cinie out to greet them, with a proud smile on her lips: "Do yon see him? This is my Tannas, my betrothed, my hero. See the sign of honor on his breast." And on his countenance also," signed Tannas. Jt'ever was such amarriagecele- brated in the village! Numbers of peas ants came from the surrounding hamlets, bringing their offerings of nuts and white cakes and delicious dulceata (a fruit sweetmeat). Many pitied, others sym pathized with Faouna, because she was marrying a blind man; hut she answered joyfully to each and all: "I ant proud of him, proud to have a hero for my hus band, and I have strength and will enough to work for us both." The mountain that they had seen in flames that fearful night was named Piatra Arsa (the burnt stone), for the shepherds and sportsmen who crossed the heights declared that the rocks were com pletely calcined.

San Francisco Argonaut, ' Magnet In Window CnMlngi, ' There is a decided novelty about the Idea of applying mugnets to windows to prevent the rattling of the sushes, but this can now be done simply and effect ively. A bar magnet whose two poles project toward the face of the sash is inserted lengthwise in cither side of the window Fixed rigidly in the window frames are rods of iron, nnd the attrac tion between the magnets and the iron rods prevents the pluy which is usually the cause of rattling. The cou8eqnen.ee is that the sasb need no longer be made to tit so closely thut dampness will cause it to swell and become difficult to open. The power exerted between the magnets and side rods is just enough to effect the desired object, wnlle not enough to in terfere with the easy raising or lowering of the windows. New York Recorder.
