Pronovnoed Hopeless, Vs4 Sav?d.
From a letter written by Mrs. Ada E.
Hurd of Groton, 8. D., we quote: “Was
taken with a bad cold, which settled on
my lungs. Cough set in and finally
terminated in consumption. Four doc-
tors gave me up, saying I could live but
a short time. I gave myself up to my
Savior, determined if I could not stay
with my friends on earth I would meet
my absent ones above. My husband was
advised to get Dr. King’s New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. I
gave it a trial; took in all eight bottles.
It has cured me, and I thank God I am
now a well and hearty woman.” Trial

In the fall of last year I received a
telegram from the vTife of my friend,
Henry Todd, requesting my immediate
presence at his house, which in the
country. I k«w my friend to some-
what whimsical, and at first imagined
that some fresh freak was imminent.
On my arrival at the beautiful little
village of C---1 was greeted by Henry
and his wife with the most cheerful
cordiality.
When Mrs. Todd had gone, Henry
said in a solemn whisper, which filled
me with conjecture:
“I have something to say to you when
I get an opportunity; and as it concerns
Mary, we must not speak of it before
anybody. Here she is! Tom, this is
my sister! Mary, this is my dearest and
oldest friend, Thomas Winslow,. Es-
. quire!”'
I could see that Henry was very fond
of his beautiful sister; but this would
have interested me less perhaps through-
out the evening had I not detected in
his manner a solicitude respecting her
for which it was impossible to perceive
a cause.
Mrs. Todd made no attempt to help
me out of my bewilderment, but with
WTifinite tact supported a conversation on
fifty topics, without once touching upon
the telegram.
At last the ladies retired. Henry
seated himself opposite me, and leaning
forward, just as far as the feat was safe,
said very solemnly:
“Tom, I’ve had a communication from
’ my mother! I have seen her too.”
His mother had been dead for twenty
years.
“Well, Henry,” said I in a careless
fashion, “what sort of communication
have you got?.”
“I’ll show you,” and he arose and
handed me a document, saying, “I re-
ceived that from her own hand.”
A wild wind shall blow,
And the beautiful snow
Shall cover my Mary and me—
And happy we’ll sleep
Far down in the deep,
My/ ' less 1 net Mary and me.
It W"'i V. ’
these lilies’;
As he took the papgf from me I mere-
ly said:
“Tell me the whole affair. I suppose
you take that communication, as you
call it, to refer to your sister?”
“I do,” he said emphatically, “but I’ll
tell you what happened.
“It has been my custom to sit late in
this room if the nights were fine. The
moon shone right in on me one night
lately—the third, I think, after Mary’s
arrival—and I could see myself reflected
in the glass of that chalk drawing hung
- above you there. That drawing is a
portrait of my mother.
“It was after midnight. Suddenly I
found myself regarding my own reflec-
tion, when behind my chair—in the
glass—I saw something shape itself. I
, did not stir, but looked and distinctly
saw a figure draped in white leaning
over me, and the face was the face of
my mother! ; I saw the figure pass by
that door from this room.
“On the third night afterward I had
gone to bed, but could not sleep. I
dressed and came down here to select a
book. I carried a taper.
“When I entered, standing within
those curtains, close to the window and
fronting me, was the form I had seen
before, draped from head to foot in
white, the face visible — my mother’s
face—and extending toward me a sheet
of paper which was unfolded. I took it
from her hand, as she approached and
passed me, leaving the room. I sat
down and read the verses which seem
to have impressed even yourself. Now
what do you think of it all?”
“Is your sister informed?” I asked,
evading a direct reply.
“By no means.”
“That’s right.”
The night was wearing on, but it was
beautiful without, an<J I proposed a
stroll. The ladies had retired, so that
we were free. Not a soul in the house
was astir, and out we went. Suddenly
turning toward my moody friend, I again
rushed into the subject, reckless of any
feeling of his own.
“Show me that paper again,” I de-
manded.
“I have left it,” said he, and was about
to return to the house, when I inter-
rupted him.
“Never mind. I remember the lines,
and am determined to sift the matter on
the spot. It seems to me that if there is
ft«anything supernatural about it, it is a
SRsupernatural blunder.
H “I deny that the spirit of your mother
IIHhas appeared to you. Two things are at
■my rate deducible from these communi-
Hjations. Either its effect was not intel-
^■igeutly calculated or it was malignant-
||^ny devised.”
■ I drew myself up about this stage of
MBmy headlong gallop over my friend, just
Bto have a look at him and to adjust my-
■self.
■ “Let us return,” said he, suddenly
|Blinking his arm in mine. “Perhaps you
IBare right, Tom. But you are driving
Bme to suppose that there is something
Bwrong with myself.”^
B Our conversation had drifted from the
Bsubject altogether when we approached
Bthe house.
“There is some one on the lookout for
Bus,” I exclaimed, as I looked toward the
Bwindow of the library.
||B “Oh, God!” I heard Henry groan, al-
Bmost in the instant, and I saw that his
M^Kace was ashen as the face of the dead,
Bwhile he stood gazing toward the win-
Bd.ow.x*—„ -—-— —
B There, sufficiently revealed in the
Braining moonlight, was the figure of a
Bsvoman, arrayed as for a bridal; but it
^■ingered only for a moment, and then
(■■leliberately moved away.
liB It paralyzed me. For an instant I felt
■Blncliiied to read in it an easy mockery of
H^mny own egotism.
B Not for long, however; a feeling akin
n;o anger soon steadied me, and I said to
■Henry:
“This is all an infernal piece of hum-
p bug, my boy, and I must and will be at
F the bottom of it.”
L We proceeded to the house and into it,
' and into the library, where all was silent
as we had quitted it.
I lit the gas. Henry’s first act was to
survey his mother’s portrait. Then he
made search for the mysterious paper.
“It is gone,” said he, in awed tones.
I proposed that we should adjourn till
morning, so that we could have daylight
L upon the subject.
Immediately after breakfast Henry
■fanade for the library, and I followed
■him.
lll^B Just then we heard the piano struck
Bby expert fingers in an adjoining room,
^^^Ind a rich, low voice sing the notes of
ai air which I had never heard before.

I felt that I eould not listen to it and
stand, so strangely did the melody float
and linger, and| flutter and die away.
Meantime H^nry was wandering about
the room. l
“What can have come over that poem,
I wonder?” I heard him say as he lifted
an ink bottle, a book, a decanter, and
looked under them all in turn.
“Wait a moment for me,” 1 said to
him as I slipped out of the room and
joined the musician.
It was his sister, of course, and I
joined her just as she concluded the in-
fernal or supernal melody, and know-
ing not what better - to do I requested
her to favor me by repeating it.
“Do you like it?” she quickly asked.
“It is a wonderful thing,” I returned.
“May I ask whose are the verses and
who is the composer?”
“The verses are my mother’s and the
music is my own.”
I was stupefied.
“Do you possess a written copy of
them?”
“No; but I could not forget them. I
feel so sorry sometimes, for I have lost
the manuscript in her own handwrit-
ing.”
“Excuse me for asking, Miss Todd;
but have you a copy of those verses in
your own handwriting?”
“I have not, Mr. Winslow,
them from memory.”
“This is very extraordinary. I cer-
tainly read those verses in manuscript
last evening.”
“Indeed!” she exclaimed, looking at
me curiously. “Most likely you heard
me sing them late, and that may have
cheated you into the idea. I played and
sung them last night.”
My first proceeding when 1 reached
my bedroom that night was to drink a
glass of brandy, my next to untie a
packet of fine starch powder, with which
I had armed myself some hours before.
A little later, when not a sound was
heard in the house, you might have seen
me slip off my slippers, take up the pow-
der, cautiously invade the hall and sow
the entire area of it with powder.
When I entered the library I shut out
the moonlight, which was playing the
mischief with my fancy, and lit the gas.
I then seated myself in the chair which
faced the hanging portrait of Henry’s
mother, and I could see my own reflec-
tion plainly in its glass front.
Presently I detected a series of slight
sounds in the distance, as of some one
astir. While ’my heated imagination
was busily forging fetters for my judg-
ment the library door opened slowly
and the moving image of the portrait, e:
draped in white veil, made straight for ’
the curtained window, leaving in its
wake at every step the. white impress of
an unmistakable reality.
I saw at once, of course, that it was
Miss Todd who stood before me, but
had a planet been at stake I could not
have moved or spoken.
She opened the window shutter very
deliberately and the moonlight streamed
into the room, transforming everything
and imparting to her features and her
figure an indistinct and shadowy beauty,
which was altogether spiritual and un-
vestured of decay.
I saw her take from a fold of her thick
veil a paper, which she read over in the
full light. I could see her eyes—that
they wore a look as if they saw nothing
nearer than the land of darkness. Her
face was like the face of one who had
been dead.
I was trembling like a leaf when the
i figure moved straight toward me, and
i holding forth the paper said, in a
strange, far off pleasantness of voice:
“Is it not very beautiful? You may
! take a copy from it if you like, but do
' not lose it again.” '
, I started to my feet, and to my as-
tonishment I did not startle the beauti-
ful sleeper, who had strode away as
' stately as she had come, leaving in my
hand the simple manuscript, ■ which I
held fast, as if it might take wing.
When F went down stairs before
breakfast I found Henry making a puz-
zled scrutiny of mysterious footprints,
the unaccountable thing being that up-
on the steps there were shown the foot-
prints of a man and a woman, and with-
in the library the evidence of feminine
invasion only.
The light I was enabled to throw upon
the matter brought a smile to the
countenance ®f my friend that broaden-
ed presently into a laugh.—B. P. in New
York News. ]

The Acme of Art.
Among the arts preservative there is
none deserving of a higher rank than
modern photography. The camera,
when in the hands of a skillful operator,
might truly be said to be mightier than
the pen and sword combined. The pen,
when wielded by an able writer, will at
best give you an idea of the subject it
attempts to portray, while the camera
now used in such first-class art studios
as that of Justus Zahn, on Tremont
street, gives you a life-like picture of
yourself, your sweetheart when she
looks the prettiest in your eyes, your
babies when they are the cunningest,
your mother when she appears most
venerable, the family group when it
shows up to its best advantage and at
the time when you are most anxious to
preserve a picture of it too look at in
your declining years. With due defer-
ence to the many good galleries in Gal-
veston, it must be said that the one
which is under the able management of
Mr. Justus Zahn, on Tremont street, be?
tween Market and Postoffiee, takes the
lead for artistic,^ ork.
