Abont the beginning of the late war, a man bent on weighty business, and bear-' ing important dispatches and a large sum of money about his persoh, found himself belated at night in one of the wildest and most thinly-populated quarters of a southern state. . He was in the heart ofa dense wood, and not far from a deadly.and treacherous swamp. To lie down to rest would have been simply suicide; yet he was worn with fatigue and no habitation appeared in sight. Dismounting, he led his horse by the bridle and tried in vain to discover by the sense of touch the road he should follow. “IT must find some shelter for the night,” he said, ‘‘The people hereabout have fot a very good reputation; but I am not afraid of men, and I do not fear swamp fever and scorpions. I'll call; there may be some one within hearing.” On this hesent up ashout that proved his lungs to be in good condition, and followed it by another and another. After this third he paused and listened, A faint ‘‘hallo” seemed to echo his, and in a moment more there appeared among the trees the figure of ati old man who held a lantern in one hand and shaded his eyes with the other. “Who is that?” cried the personage; “one of the boys?’’ “A stranger,” said the traveler. “I’m lost in this confounded place. Can you tell me where I can get shelter?”’ ‘‘Who are you and where do you come from?’ Pe “Icame"from farther north; traveling on business; my name is Hogan. I can pay for anything I ask, and shall be thankful, too.” “All right. Come along. My house ain’t far off.” And turning he tottered away into the darkness. The traveler put his hand upon the pistol at his belt and followed him. A few steps forward, and amid a dense mass of foliage. they made their way to the door of a hut. Within, a fire burnt upon a rude hearth. Over it a girl crouched, idly looking into the embers. ‘‘That’s my darter,” said the old man. “We're all alone here, and it’s a poor place, and you’re weleome. Walkin; ’ll see your horse is cared for.”’ ’ The girl looked up sharply, and looked down again with a flush on her face. The old man drew a broken chair toward the blaze and lit a pine toreh. “A fire is comfortable these damp nights if it is warm,’’ he said. ‘Make some coffee and an ash-cake for us, Nannie. The gentleman’s hungry, no doubt.”’ “I confessIam,” said Hogan, takingthe proffered chair. ‘‘And I donot know what Ishould have done to-night without your hospitality.” Meanwhile, the girl, a handsome creature of seventeen, lazily prepared a meal. She moved slowly, but she did not do her work badly. The coffee smelt well, and the ash-cake was brown. When it was done she sat apart and watched the men as they ate, and listened to the old man’s questions snd the stranger’s answers. Afterward she spread upon the floor a bed of straw and a blanket, and glided out of the room. “T hope you’ll sleep well,” said the old man. ‘‘Good night, sir.” “Good night,” said Hogan, but he anteeing a fromasené liberalr oal. ust claims for loss.

Oo! ae Deeessreces : ” thought at the same time: “You seem to be a very hospitable old gentleman, but you have the face of a rascal!’’ Throwing off his coat he stretched himself upon the bed, and in five minutes found himself fast sinking into slumber, ° The pine torch fligkered on the wall, the embers died out in the grate, when suddenly a hand rested on his arm. and a voice whispered in his ear: “Stranger, I’ve got something to tell you. ; Hogan started up. The girl knelt beside him with her finger on her lip. “Get up,” she said, “and put on your coat. The sooner you are off the better. The old man lied when he said I was his daughter; he has gone for the boys. He said to me just now, ‘I’ve found out his business. He must have plenty of money with him,’ and I know whot he means. There will be four of them here in half‘an hour, and you are a dead man if you don’t: go now.” , Hogan started to his feet. Stitched his belt were several thousand dollars, and he remembered that he had chattered away almost indiscreetly, fancying the old man would know no more than he chose to tell. “I’m a fool,” he muttered, starting to his feet. “This is no silly jest, girl?” “God’s truth,” said the girl. ‘I’ve seen sights that would make you move faster than you’re doing now if you had seen them. There—get your horse and come. Pll show you which way totake. They'll kill me if they suspect me; but I reckon T’ll ward them off. Come.” 4 As in a dream Hogan followed her. She led him by the hand through thick woods until they came to a wide opening. said, “and ride that way. . av« Uti, 4 oy UVM all Ican to save your life, Jack Hogan.”’ “God bless you,” said he, ‘You know my name, I see, If thetime should ever come whep I cando as much for youl will.” : ae ‘*Perhaps,’’ she said doubtfully, = “You have saved my life, child!’ he said as he mounted his horse, “It.isa debt a man don’t forget ina hurry. Listen; I swear that if I can ever do anything for you I will—I swear on this.” He drey a little golden cross from his breast and kissed it. ‘‘Keep it to remind me of the oath if I should forget it,’’ he said, and put itinto her hand. Then, as man rides for his life, he rode away and reached his destinationin safety. Two years from that night Captain Jack Hogan sat alone in his tent writing aletter home. There was some one at home who waited for these. letters anxiously, and who wore them fondly in her ~~ vee bosom, Thoughts of her softened the soldier’s heart. Glad, indeed, would he have been to leave war and all its cruel scenes for home and home and her, Half the sentence in which he told her so was written, when his servant's vcice sounded in his ear. ; “Beg pardon, captain. There’s a girl outside.

The editor of the “Ocean Foam,” Cape May, writes: “ We speak knowingly, when we assert that Hall’s Vegetable Sicilian Hair “Renewer is the best of its kind. The article is an ciegant and cleanly-one, with* out which we think no toilet complete.” Thos. D. Jones, Middle Granville, N. Y., writes: “TI have used Hall's Hair Renewer about ten years, with satisfactory results.” E. G. Perkins, Oberlin, Ohio, writes: “I consider Hall's Hair Renewer the best hair preserver in use. I have used it for the past twenty years, and my hair is in as vigorous and healthy a condition as when I was 30 years of age. Not asign of gray hair to be seen anywhere? Dwight L, Chamberlain, Oakland, Califorhia, writes: “ My hair, which was nearly white, has been restored to its original color and luxuriance by the use of Hall’s Hair Renewer.” Hair Renewer. » The advance of time is heralded by bleached, thin, and falling hair. By the use of Hall’s Hair Renewer, the hair may be restored to its original color, lustre, and vitality. M. N. Johnson, Fitchburg, Mass., writes: ‘My hair was weak, thin, and full of dandruff. Hall’s Hair Renewer has removed the dandruff, and caused a vigorous growth of new hair.” Abe) H. Smith, Portsmouth, Va., writes: ‘My hair had nearly all fallen out, and that which was left was dry and dead. I used one bottle of Hall’s Hair Renewer, and now rejoice in the possession of hair as abundant as ever.” E. J. Adams, St. Paul, Minn., writes: ‘A diseased scalp caused my hair to fall out, and, after using a number of preparations without ayail, I finally tried Hall’s Hair Renewer, which caused.a vigorous new growth. . am still using it, and could ask for no better results.” Mrs. R.

He is to be shot to-morrow.” Dan Barton, the spy, lay well guarded not far away. It was Captain Hogan who had detected him, On the morrow his life would pay the forfeit, “And he is your Dan, poor girl?’ said Captain Hogan. “Sit down; try to be -calm. Do you understand that it is out of my power to save him?” “No,” she answered, “I understand you do not mean to keep your oath.” “You mistake me. If I could I would.” And at that moment a thought flashed into his mind. His face turned pale, “Perhaps I can,’’ he said, “Iflcan I wie ise?” she cried me “You prom’ ec) ° al . . of ei bang aky cea,” mal BT She knelt and kissed his hand. He drew it from her. “There are no thanks to be given for the keeping of an oath,” said he. ee Then she departed. When she was gone he tore to pleces the letter he had written and wrote on another page these words: My Daruma: When_you read these linea I shall be dead. Itis very hard to leave you. Remember poor Jack Hogan, " He sealed it and laid it where it would surely be seen and then walked out into the night, “T must see this spy,” he said to the sentry, who saluted and let him pass. Half an hour after the sentry saw him pass out, well muffied in his cloak. He was seen afterward by several other sentries, who wondered why a man who might sleep did not. It was dawn. At sunrise they had brought the spy out to be shot—a large muscular man with black hair, A bandage was about his eyes and his hands were bound behind him. He kept his head down, striving, it seemed, to hide his face, “TI didn’t think he was so handsome when . saw him before,’”’ said .one officer to another. ‘He looked like a sneak, I thought. Whois he like?”’ *T don’t know,” said the other. “Some one I have seen, certainly.” Meanwhile the men who were to put an end to the spy’s life formed into line, The chaplain read the prayer for the occasion. The order was given: “Firel’’ ~ For a momént the air was filled with smoke; then it lifted. A man lay upon his face before them, dead. It was Jack Hogan. He had kept his oath. The spy had fled the camp, dressed in his uniform, the night before, He had paid for his life with his life at last. SOME CURIOUS MARRIAGE CUSTOMS. Latest Information of the Natives of the New Britain Group. * For marriage purposes the people of New Britain are divided into two classes or divisions. No man may mafrya woman of his own class. To do so would bring instant destruction upon the woman, and if not immediate death to the man, his life would never be secure; in fact, marriage -. between aman and woman of the same class is regarded in the same light as between brother and sister in a Christian community. _ As, however, children afe of their mother’s totem, it is possible for a man to marry his niece, although there is. great repugnance to such unions among the natives. Preparations for marriages are various, On Duke of York Island initiation into a secret society seems a sufficient preparation (though not absolutely necessary to marriage) for the boys, and there appears to be no needful preparation for the girls, On New Ireland some girls wear a fringe across their shoulders until-they are marriageable, These are the poorer classes. Others are put into cages, into which they remain four or five years without being allowed to go outside the house in which they are confined, These cages are conical structures about seven or eight feet in height, and about 10 or 12 feet in circumference at the bottom. They are made of the broad leaves of the pandanus tree, sewn quite close together, so that no light and very little air can enter, On one side is an opening, which isclosed by a double door of plaited cocoanut tree and pandanus tree leaves. About three feet from the ground there isa stage of bamboog which forins the floor. There is only room for the girl to alt or Iie down in a crouched position on the bamboo platform, and her feet are never allowed to touch the ground all the time she is confined inthe cage. Great marriage feasts are provided for these girls when they are taken out of the cages.: On. the island of New Britain.wives are purchased with shell money, and are often married at a very early age. After the price has been decided and paid the girl may be taken away at once to her husband's house, or she may be allowed to remain with her friends for a considerable time, Qn Duke of York Island there is generally a marriuge feast of a superior kind when persons of influence are being married. The women of the town and surrounding district prepare a large number of puddings, and many pigs are killed. Many presents are given to the bride in public, which she is expected afterwards to return privately. A cocoanutis broken over the heads of the pair and the milk is sprinkled uponthem. After tbis thero are periodical feasts for a considerable time, the friends of the bride entertaining the friends of the bridegroom, and vice versa. “oo : When s man marries a second wife after the death of the first the female relatives of the dead wife gather together and are permitted todoas much damage to his property as theycan.

Abont the beginning of the late war, a man bent on weighty business, and bear-' ing important dispatches and a large sum of money about his persoh, found himself belated at night in one of the wildest and most thinly-populated quarters of a southern state. . He was in the heart ofa dense wood, and not far from a deadly.and treacherous swamp. To lie down to rest would have been simply suicide; yet he was worn with fatigue and no habitation appeared in sight. Dismounting, he led his horse by the bridle and tried in vain to discover by the sense of touch the road he should follow. “IT must find some shelter for the night,” he said, ‘‘The people hereabout have fot a very good reputation; but I am not afraid of men, and I do not fear swamp fever and scorpions. I'll call; there may be some one within hearing.” On this hesent up ashout that proved his lungs to be in good condition, and followed it by another and another. After this third he paused and listened, A faint ‘‘hallo” seemed to echo his, and in a moment more there appeared among the trees the figure of ati old man who held a lantern in one hand and shaded his eyes with the other. “Who is that?” cried the personage; “one of the boys?’’ “A stranger,” said the traveler. “I’m lost in this confounded place. Can you tell me where I can get shelter?”’ ‘‘Who are you and where do you come from?’ Pe “Icame"from farther north; traveling on business; my name is Hogan. I can pay for anything I ask, and shall be thankful, too.” “All right. Come along. My house ain’t far off.” And turning he tottered away into the darkness. The traveler put his hand upon the pistol at his belt and followed him. A few steps forward, and amid a dense mass of foliage. they made their way to the door of a hut. Within, a fire burnt upon a rude hearth. Over it a girl crouched, idly looking into the embers. ‘‘That’s my darter,” said the old man. “We're all alone here, and it’s a poor place, and you’re weleome. Walkin; ’ll see your horse is cared for.”’ ’ The girl looked up sharply, and looked down again with a flush on her face. The old man drew a broken chair toward the blaze and lit a pine toreh. “A fire is comfortable these damp nights if it is warm,’’ he said. ‘Make some coffee and an ash-cake for us, Nannie. The gentleman’s hungry, no doubt.”’ “I confessIam,” said Hogan, takingthe proffered chair. ‘‘And I donot know what Ishould have done to-night without your hospitality.” Meanwhile, the girl, a handsome creature of seventeen, lazily prepared a meal. She moved slowly, but she did not do her work badly. The coffee smelt well, and the ash-cake was brown. When it was done she sat apart and watched the men as they ate, and listened to the old man’s questions snd the stranger’s answers. Afterward she spread upon the floor a bed of straw and a blanket, and glided out of the room. “T hope you’ll sleep well,” said the old man. ‘‘Good night, sir.” “Good night,” said Hogan, but he anteeing a fromasené liberalr oal. ust claims for loss.

Oo! ae Deeessreces : ” thought at the same time: “You seem to be a very hospitable old gentleman, but you have the face of a rascal!’’ Throwing off his coat he stretched himself upon the bed, and in five minutes found himself fast sinking into slumber, ° The pine torch fligkered on the wall, the embers died out in the grate, when suddenly a hand rested on his arm. and a voice whispered in his ear: “Stranger, I’ve got something to tell you. ; Hogan started up. The girl knelt beside him with her finger on her lip. “Get up,” she said, “and put on your coat. The sooner you are off the better. The old man lied when he said I was his daughter; he has gone for the boys. He said to me just now, ‘I’ve found out his business. He must have plenty of money with him,’ and I know whot he means. There will be four of them here in half‘an hour, and you are a dead man if you don’t: go now.” , Hogan started to his feet. Stitched his belt were several thousand dollars, and he remembered that he had chattered away almost indiscreetly, fancying the old man would know no more than he chose to tell. “I’m a fool,” he muttered, starting to his feet. “This is no silly jest, girl?” “God’s truth,” said the girl. ‘I’ve seen sights that would make you move faster than you’re doing now if you had seen them. There—get your horse and come. Pll show you which way totake. They'll kill me if they suspect me; but I reckon T’ll ward them off. Come.” 4 As in a dream Hogan followed her. She led him by the hand through thick woods until they came to a wide opening. said, “and ride that way. . av« Uti, 4 oy UVM all Ican to save your life, Jack Hogan.”’ “God bless you,” said he, ‘You know my name, I see, If thetime should ever come whep I cando as much for youl will.” : ae ‘*Perhaps,’’ she said doubtfully, = “You have saved my life, child!’ he said as he mounted his horse, “It.isa debt a man don’t forget ina hurry. Listen; I swear that if I can ever do anything for you I will—I swear on this.” He drey a little golden cross from his breast and kissed it. ‘‘Keep it to remind me of the oath if I should forget it,’’ he said, and put itinto her hand. Then, as man rides for his life, he rode away and reached his destinationin safety. Two years from that night Captain Jack Hogan sat alone in his tent writing aletter home. There was some one at home who waited for these. letters anxiously, and who wore them fondly in her ~~ vee bosom, Thoughts of her softened the soldier’s heart. Glad, indeed, would he have been to leave war and all its cruel scenes for home and home and her, Half the sentence in which he told her so was written, when his servant's vcice sounded in his ear. ; “Beg pardon, captain. There’s a girl outside.

The editor of the “Ocean Foam,” Cape May, writes: “ We speak knowingly, when we assert that Hall’s Vegetable Sicilian Hair “Renewer is the best of its kind. The article is an ciegant and cleanly-one, with* out which we think no toilet complete.” Thos. D. Jones, Middle Granville, N.

I have used it for the past twenty years, and my hair is in as vigorous and healthy a condition as when I was 30 years of age. Not asign of gray hair to be seen anywhere? Dwight L, Chamberlain, Oakland, Califorhia, writes: “ My hair, which was nearly white, has been restored to its original color and luxuriance by the use of Hall’s Hair Renewer.” Hair Renewer. » The advance of time is heralded by bleached, thin, and falling hair. By the use of Hall’s Hair Renewer, the hair may be restored to its original color, lustre, and vitality. M. N. Johnson, Fitchburg,

Smith, Portsmouth, Va., writes: ‘My hair had nearly all fallen out, and that which was left was dry and dead. I used one bottle of Hall’s Hair Renewer, and now rejoice in the possession of hair as abundant as ever.” E. J.

He is to be shot to-morrow.” Dan Barton, the spy, lay well guarded not far away. It was Captain Hogan who had detected him, On the morrow his life would pay the forfeit, “And he is your Dan, poor girl?’ said Captain Hogan. “Sit down; try to be -calm. Do you understand that it is out of my power to save him?” “No,” she answered, “I understand you do not mean to keep your oath.” “You mistake me. If I could I would.” And at that moment a thought flashed into his mind. His face turned pale, “Perhaps I can,’’ he said, “Iflcan I wie ise?” she cried me “You prom’ ec) ° al . . of ei bang aky cea,” mal BT She knelt and kissed his hand. He drew it from her. “There are no thanks to be given for the keeping of an oath,” said he. ee Then she departed. When she was gone he tore to pleces the letter he had written and wrote on another page these words: My Daruma: When_you read these linea I shall be dead. Itis very hard to leave you. Remember poor Jack Hogan, " He sealed it and laid it where it would surely be seen and then walked out into the night, “T must see this spy,” he said to the sentry, who saluted and let him pass. Half an hour after the sentry saw him pass out, well muffied in his cloak. He was seen afterward by several other sentries, who wondered why a man who might sleep did not. It was dawn. At sunrise they had brought the spy out to be shot—a large muscular man with black hair, A bandage was about his eyes and his hands were bound behind him. He kept his head down, striving, it seemed, to hide his face, “TI didn’t think he was so handsome when . saw him before,’”’ said .one officer to another. ‘He looked like a sneak, I thought. Whois he like?”’ *T don’t know,” said the other. “Some one I have seen, certainly.” Meanwhile the men who were to put an end to the spy’s life formed into line, The chaplain read the prayer for the occasion. The order was given: “Firel’’ ~ For a momént the air was filled with smoke; then it lifted. A man lay upon his face before them, dead. It was Jack Hogan. He had kept his oath. The spy had fled the camp, dressed in his uniform, the night before, He had paid for his life with his life at last. SOME CURIOUS MARRIAGE CUSTOMS. Latest Information of the Natives of the New Britain Group. * For marriage purposes the people of New Britain are divided into two classes or divisions. No man may mafrya woman of his own class. To do so would bring instant destruction upon the woman, and if not immediate death to the man, his life would never be secure; in fact, marriage -. between aman and woman of the same class is regarded in the same light as between brother and sister in a Christian community. _ As, however, children afe of their mother’s totem, it is possible for a man to marry his niece, although there is. great repugnance to such unions among the natives. Preparations for marriages are various, On Duke of York Island initiation into a secret society seems a sufficient preparation (though not absolutely necessary to marriage) for the boys, and there appears to be no needful preparation for the girls, On New Ireland some girls wear a fringe across their shoulders until-they are marriageable, These are the poorer classes. Others are put into cages, into which they remain four or five years without being allowed to go outside the house in which they are confined, These cages are conical structures about seven or eight feet in height, and about 10 or 12 feet in circumference at the bottom. They are made of the broad leaves of the pandanus tree, sewn quite close together, so that no light and very little air can enter, On one side is an opening, which isclosed by a double door of plaited cocoanut tree and pandanus tree leaves. About three feet from the ground there isa stage of bamboog which forins the floor. There is only room for the girl to alt or Iie down in a crouched position on the bamboo platform, and her feet are never allowed to touch the ground all the time she is confined inthe cage. Great marriage feasts are provided for these girls when they are taken out of the cages.: On. the island of New Britain.wives are purchased with shell money, and are often married at a very early age. After the price has been decided and paid the girl may be taken away at once to her husband's house, or she may be allowed to remain with her friends for a considerable time, Qn Duke of York Island there is generally a marriuge feast of a superior kind when persons of influence are being married. The women of the town and surrounding district prepare a large number of puddings, and many pigs are killed. Many presents are given to the bride in public, which she is expected afterwards to return privately. A cocoanutis broken over the heads of the pair and the milk is sprinkled uponthem. After tbis thero are periodical feasts for a considerable time, the friends of the bride entertaining the friends of the bridegroom, and vice versa. “oo : When s man marries a second wife after the death of the first the female relatives of the dead wife gather together and are permitted todoas much damage to his property as theycan.
