as she went on with passionate
pathos: "lam going, Wilton, to
find out who my rival is—to know
who it is that keeps you from my
side night after night, which I
spend iu wretched anguish; to learn
from her fascinating ways, that I
may practice them to keep you by
my side.
Oh, Wilton ! I cauuot live with-i
out your love. Come back—come
back to me, yonr wife, who loves
\ you better than all the world beside.
; Let us be happy again; and she
' sank down at bis feet, the tears
: raining from her eyes. He stooped
and took her in his arms, while his
voice trembled as he said :
"Gertrude, my wife, my love,
what dream is this ' You have no
rival iu my heart. You are all the
world to me."
" No, no !'* she sobbed, clinging
to his neck ; " I am not dreaming,
i and I have a rival—a formidable
1 one, and one that will wreck our
! eternal happiness ; for, if you are
| lost. 1 cannot be happy in heaven."
" Gertrude! Gertrude ! wake up,
and tell me who this rival is," hold-ing
her off, and gazing into her
, tear stained lace. She shuddered.
, Oh ! was he thus unconscious of
his great dauger! She looked sad-ly
into his eyes as she replied sol-
. emnly:
"The wine cup.'"
No other word she uttered. A
deep silence fell on them both.—
Gertrude's Rival.

of the window, gazing after the

Then, as a sense of her woe fell
on ber, she cried :
•• My God! My God! I
cannot endure it longer!"
Softly twilight peered into the
window-—at first, slipping into the
coiners, then growing bolder.tbrow-ing
his dusky mantle around Ger-trude's
delicate form.
A knock sounded on the door.—
Receiving no reply, Christine, the
lad] 's maid opened it. All was pro-found
gloom.
"Miss Gertrude!" she called
softly. Gertrude raised her head
but could see no one.
" Is it you Christine T"
•• Yes, Miss Gertrude. Will you
have lights r
" If you please," answered the
mistress, gently.
Quickly the gas jets sprang into
flame, llinging their brilliant light
into the corners where deepest twi-light
linked.
••Will you dress for dinner!"
i Christine, approaching the
toilet-table.
Gertrude shook her head.
•• I Bhall not go down to dinner,
but yon may lay out my water-proof.
Christine's little black eyes widen-ed,
but she was too well trained to
make any remark ou the whim of
her mistress.
The lain was now beginning to
fall from the gloomy clouds that
frowned all day on the city. The
front door clanged too heavily.—
Gertrude's mouth quivered.
" I must get ready," she mur-mured
: then aloud: "I will not
need you any more to-night Chris-tine."'
The maid left the room wonder-ing
Throwing off the pink silk,
Gertrude rapidly donned her water-proof
suit, laying the hood back.—
She glanced at her watch;
•• An hour longer to wait. What
shall 1 do to pass the time t" walk-ing
up and down. '• Who is there!"
to a soft knock.
" Mr. Lovelace wants to know if
you are not coming down to din-ner!"
answered a servant's voice.
" No. Tell him I do not feel very
well."
The servant went away, and Ger-trude
resumed her weary march,
broihers-in law freebooters and vis
ionaries. Li'tle by little the knowl-edge
leaks out of unsuspected
chinks and cracks. A recent rather
indiscreet report of the federal
treasury department furnishes a
good-sized end for patriot and tax
payer remuneration. Here is the
statement as it comes from head-quarters
:
The report shows that the actual
amount ol receipts into the treasury
from all sources from and after June
30, 1861, to June 30, 1874, exclusive
of loans and treasury notes was as
as follows:
Customs, $ 197,310,367
Internal revenue, 1,956,323,724
Direct tax, 1,482,098
Public lands, 22,151,958
Miscellaneous, 230,074,382
Premiums on loans and
sales of gold coin, 192,557,117
Total, 12,605,899,040
that sectiou of the couutry has
never, until recently, been accurate-ly
known iu a general way, for the
reasou that all the miniug opera
tions carried ou in the South, with
one or two exceptions, prior to and
to a great extent since the war,
have been mere surface or "placer"
ming. Only recently have any
well directed efforts beeu made to
develop the veins by deep mining.
Placer mining is very uncertain,
and, then-lore seldom profitable;
but experience has shown that
wherever well directed efforts have
been made to penetrate to the lower
levels on gold or silver bearing
ledges, the results are as certain as
any other species of mining, includ-ing
coal and iron.
It is believed that all aloug the
eastern range traversing the Caro-linas,
and further South, there are
yet to be fouud many stores of
wealth beneath the surface, which
only await practical application of
capital. That gold-bearing quartz

a thousand times, no! She was all
the world to him. Henceforth, she
could complain of no more rivals,
nitither in wine or love.
"Away! away! ye tempting
fiends ! I am free !" and he brought
his hands fiercely together.
Gerttnde raised her sorrowful
eyes, aud he came and sat down at
her feet, throwing his strong arm
around her tender waist.
" Gertrude, your have conquered ;
you have no rival now," be said iu
a low voice.
"Thank God!" came from her
quivering lips, as her bead sank on
his shoulder.
No sound broke the silence that
followed, except the hot coals that
tinkled as they fell from the glow-ing
grate. Long, long they sat
thus, absorbed in good resolutions
on the one side and dreams of wed-ded
happiness on the other.
Teu years! Ten years have pass-ed,
anil the good resolutions and
dreams of happiness have been
realized. Not without many strng
gles on the part of Wilton has he
kept his feet from the glitteriug
snares spread by mau's enemy, the
wine cup.

bashless, monstrous impudence to

Mountain mine, near Charlotte, at
a depth of two hundred and fifty
feet, has an extensive vein of lime
stone lot mation, carrying teluride
ol lead and free gold, which is
readily extracted by amalgamation
in the ordinary stamp mill. The
ore in this mine is of the same char-acter
as that found on the Comstock
lode, and, while it has not proved
so rich so far as developed, it ap-pears
to be almost as extensive.—
There are also a number of other
mines from which large amounts of
btillii n have been taken. The re-opening
of assay office at Charlotte
1 will aid very materially in stim-ulating
the mining interest of that
legion, particularly jus now when
so much attention is being given in
that direction.
Mr. Holman of Indiana stated iu
I the course of his debate on the ap
! propriation. that the last year the
assay office at Charlotte was kept
open there was only about $0,000
deposiled there. However this
j may be, we kuow that the King's
Mountain mine alone has produced
during the past year $117,-
Out), and the prospect is that
.the product of the regiou
about Charlotte, which is now
known to be very considerable (we
have not the exact figures,) will be
much greater during the near future
than ever before, owing to the fact
thai more capital is being expended
: in development of the mines.—
There is no doubt that the time is
near when Charlotte will be the
centre of an extensive and flourish-ing
mining region, and the passage
ol the appropriation which provoked
Ibese remarks is an indication that
Congress is becoming conscious of
the fact.—-Philadelphia Enquirer.
task, aud filling the numerous per-sons
who visit it with amazement.
This astouiahing little insect is of
the black species, and very small,
a fact that renders the feat "which it
now performs the more marvellous.
As slated iu our edition of yester-day
morning, the mouse was accus
tomed, when ou a predatory excur-sion,
to emerge from a hole under
the bench where the spider dwells,
aud pass into the carpenter shop,
where the bench stands. The en
terprising spider had no doubt
watched for a long time the move
menu, laid a trap for the unsus
pecting young mouse, and Monday
morning when she started out oil
her daily rounds, the little spider
was on the look out, tightened the
thread which she had prepared for
her victim, whose hind legs had be-come
entangled, in them as she
passed out of the hole, and soon
secured her.
Immediately after the legs had
been caught, the spider fastened
another thread to the mouse's tail,
aud after several hours' constant
work succeeded in raising her
prey's hind quarters, and continued
so doing nntil the top of the mouse's
nose only touched the floor. Hav-ing
thus rendered her helpless, the
little spider industriously set to
work multiplying its fastenings.—
After a few more hours' labor, the
mouse was raised one inch from the
floor, the spider working as if with
a pulley. In its terrible contortion
to release itself, the mouse managed
to sever the fastenings around its
hind legs, but so stroug were the
threads which suspended it iii the
air and so securely were they at
tacbed to its tail that all efforts to
break them proved fruitless.
Mr. Gross, taking great interest
in the proceedings, left the spider
undisturbed, and during almost the
whole of Mouday night with sev-eral
friends, watched its workings
attentively. The little insect, after
taking her position on her victim's
tail, commenced manipulating the
threads and working. Gradually
could the astonished witnesses ot
this wonderful feat see mouse creep
up, and the threads descending
from their fastenings under the
corner of the bench to the mouse's
tail, increased in number, and da-ring
the twenty-four hours ending
yesterday evening the threads hnd
so iucreased that it became impos-sible
to count them, aud the mouse,
which was still alive though quite
weakened, had been raised from
one to three and a half inches from
the floor. The spider during the
whole time of its work sat ou the
mouse's tail, only leaving its posi-tions
at long intervals when it
would cautiously creep down its
tail to its root, aud there feed upon
the blood of the mouse. Then re
Miming its position ou the end
the tail, would agaiu commence its
work.

Honey Comb.
There are two kinds of comb re-quired
in a hive—worker and drone;
the formcrsinall and the latter large
cells. It takes a great deal of time
and expense to conttact it. There
is about two aud a halt pounds in
a common hive, which is made of
honey, on the same principle that if:
we feed hogs corn, a certain por-tion
of it will produce oil or fat;.
the same with the bees when gorged ]
with honey for a certain length of
time, a portion of it will secrete in-to
wax, which extends from them
in the form of small white scales
(extends from wax pouches on the
abdomen,) which they use in con-structing
comb.
It is nuiversally considered that
it will require twenty pounds ol
honey to make one pound of comb :
jf so, it will require fifty pounds of
honey to furnish one hive With
comb; and honey at twenty-fit*
cents per pound would be $12 50.
From this true statement, dear
readers, we may judge whether it
would be prudent to save and buy
all the nice worker comb we can
get, and fill our empty hives with
it, instead of rendering it into wax
and selling it at thirty cents per
pound, the nsnal price, when it is
worth $5 per pound to save it for
the bees. No wonder the honey ex
tractor is coming iuto general use
by those who know the value of
comb.—Xational Bee Journal.
On Second Thought.
A strapping big stranger entered
a store on Woodward avenue yes-terday,
and leauing too heavily on
the showcase, broke one of the
panes of glass.
" That will cost you two dollars,"
said the proprietor.
" Haven't got the money," replied
stranger.
" Well, you can't go out of the
store until you pay for that glass,
said the store-keeper, in a deter-mined
voice.
" I'm sorry, but I'm willing to be
licked, if that will do you any
good," replied the stranger, rapidly
getting out of two coats and a vest,
and showing arms like joints of a
stove-pipe.
"Oh. I guess it was purely ac-cidental,"
said the shop keeper in
half altered voice, as he got behind
the counter iu a hurry, " and you
needn't mind about waiting arouud
here any longer. Here's a car-ticket
if you are going np the avenue."—

In the whole range of sacred and
profane literature, perhaps there is
nothing recorded which has such
staying properties as a good healthy
mortgage.
A mortgage can be depended on
to stick closer than a brother. It
has a mission to perform which
7'e never lets up. Day after day it is
light there, nor does the slightest
tendency to slumber impair its vig-or
in the 'east. Night and day, and
at holiday times, without a mo-ment's
rest for sickuess or recrea-tion,
the Idling offspring of itsex-istence
goes on.
The seasons may change, days
run into weeks, weeks into mouths,
and months be swallowed up into
the gray man of advancing years,
but that mortgage stands np in
sleepless vigilance.witli the interest,
a perennial stream, ceaselessly run
ningon.
Like a huge nightmare eating out
the sleep of some restless slumberer,
the unpaid mortgage rears up its
gaunt front in perpetual torment
to the miserable wight who is held
within its miserable clutch. It
holds the poor victim with the re-lentless
grasp of a giant ; not one
hour of recreation ; not a moment's
evasion of its hideous presence. A
genial savage of mollifying aspect
while the interest is paid; a very
devil of hopeless destruction when
the payments fail.
Oilier liabilities may be evaded
or smoothed aside ; but a mortgage
hangs "ti with the pertinacity of a
bull dog or the grip of a black-smith's
vice. It the interest is not
paid it is added to swell its grim
parent, the principal, and holds up
its horible front with a harder
seeming than before. It will have
the pound of flesh which is nomi
nated in the bond ; and more terri-ble
than the fearful witches in
Macbeth, the threatening fiend,
I'm .closure, rears up its dreaded
menace with the crushing weight of
hopeless despair.

the grim fiend in his household.—

Cotton Manufactures in India.
The facts stated iu the annexed
sentences from the Home/card Mail
bear some relation to the depression
of Manchester interests:
Altegether there are twenty five
cotton mills in India iu full opera
tion, working 600,000 spindles ol
7,000 looms. The spindles produce
about 130,000 pounds of cotton
thread a day. of which about 50,000
pounds are to produce cloth. These
mills are chiefly in the Bombay
island, where a new spinning mill
just opemd by a wealthy Hindoo,
and working 25,000 spindles, makes
a total of seventeen working mills
Up country there are several others
—one. at Sin at. two at Broach, two
at Ahmedabad, one at .lulgatiiii,
one in the native State of Bhownug-ger,
and one at Madras. Exten-sions
are also rapidly going for
ward. Eight extensions are also
in course of construction at Loin
bay, chiefly ou share capital, and
those will provide at least for the
working of 40,000 more spindles
and 1,345 looms. Manchester must
take into accouut, iu calculations
for the future, the rapid develop
ment of cottou manufacture in
India.

of the newborn day!"
" Let the world heave on its

Tom, as he puTel the blankets
close about and turned over; but
old Keizle was not to be trifled
with, and gathering the blankets in
one hand, he roared :
