THE SERPENT'S STING. \Stephen I do sincerely hope and pray that nothing may occur to mar your prospects, for I should certainly consider a rupture at this stage a calamity of the moat lamentable kind. Dear old fellow, here you are full five and thirty\ \ Isot quite.\ u Well, you lack not more than three months and two dajrs. But seriously, Steve, I am more anxious than you think. I want you to have a hom<5 and to be settled down in it; and, moreover, I want you to secure the priceless woman whose love you have won. What a man yon might be with an aim in life abov« yourself,\ So spoke Dadmun Carter to his friend Stephen Langdon. \ Dadnrun had been married al- most fifteen years and had a happy family beneath hia roof tree, while Stephen had wandered alone, though not without such friends as the free hearted, careless pos- 80980?-of wealth must ever find. Several reasons had thus far held Stephen aloof from matri- mony. First, he was by nature diffident and cowardly in female society ; Feeond, the class of women with whom it had been his fortune to be thrown in con- tact had not been of a character to command his respect; and, third, he knew that many fair and scheming damsels had aimed to capture him only that they might enjoy his wealth, for, be it known, he w*as wealthy. Though he had for years lived at the top of his bent, her had not spent Kit income. The massive principal l*y in- tact, just as his father had left it. But at length Stephen Langdon had found a woman whom he not only loved* but who, he believed, loved him in return. Laura Pempsey was her narrie ; an orphan, 22 years of age, health- ful, cheerful, happy, beautiful and good. Since the dc^aih of her father, «*ho had been one of Stephen's warmest friends, shehad b«en en- gaged as teacher of music and drawing in one of the select schools; and the true feminine graces and virtues were all her own. To be sure, Stephen was the elder by thirteen yean, tmi still he believed she really loved him, as h« loved her. He felt that he could take her to his heart and hold her there, safe and true—beloved alwayi while life should last, \Only 1 he sometimes asked himself, ** 'will she love me the same?\ When my h*ir becomes gTey, will she love me aa now ? Anfiis it Steve she lovet, or his bank accoapt? Does she think most of resting h«r head upon this faithful bosom, or in wheedling this hnnd of mine to sign her checks F> Foor man! Had he loved Laura Bempsey less he might not have suffered, but his v^ry heart—his Kf e __ wm8 bound up in her, and it would have made him utterly miserable to know that she could speak hia namo without warm and generous emotion. \ Ay. Stephen, what a man you irWght bo, with »n aim in life above yourself,\ said Dadmun. \And where will you find \— \ Hunn! I know all you would say. Btoss her dear heart. She is an angel, and wo«W bring a very demon to the foot of th« crosa, I believe, but I dont if ant her to try. I have made up my mind, old fellow. I know she will be my wife when I say, for I hate meanly drawn that Admission from her without committing my- self. My only wonder is—and that militates something against her car© and judgment—how she came tawUwr heart upon a man so much her senior, and, ahove nil else, a man whow lifo KM \mn to lightly and lootely spent at bat mine. «Stephen, YOU do not wttend lhnt you are ignorant m that di- rection. Ab, don't play the hypo- crite.\ \ Hypocrite I What do you mean ?' f Why, Steve, I mean this : You know why and how the Heart of that girl, with all its wealth of faith, love and devotion, was drawn to you. Don't shake your head. Listen. If ever a human being worshiped any earthly thing, Laura Dempsey worshiped her father.\ \ Ay,\ cried Langdon, with en- husiasm, \ she had reason. Dear old Dempsey. I loved that man as though he had been my own brother.\ \ Ah, Stephen, you have ans- wered your own proposition. Don't vou suppose, don't you know that Tom Dempsey loved you in re- turn, and didn't Laura know all about it ? Do you not know how the father pictured you to his daughter? And then, Stephen, when you came to open your purse to that man as you did—so kindly and so quietly—lifting him and his loved oires from absolute suffering into comfort and peace ; do you not know how the daugh- ter's tender, generous heart must have gone out to you in gratitude. And, Stephen, you stultify your- self when vou pretend to wonder what a girl can find to admire and esteem in your manliness.\ \Say no more, Dadmun. If you knew how I loved that girl I think you would tremble for me. But I shall not let more time slip —ah ! whom have we here ? That Stark woman, upon my life.\ Matilda Stark ?\ - Yes. She has come to get my subscription in behalf of her Cos- mopolitan, Interchangeable, Uni- versally Embracing Alleviation society\\ Then I'll take myself off. I can't enduxe that woman*\ Dud man Carter left by one door, and Miss Matilda Stark, a lady who had refused to grow old through many years, entered by another. » Miss Stark had gained Mr. Langdon's subscription to her new enterprise, and then she contrived, in a very adroit and seemingly sympathetic manner, to introduce the name of Laura Dempsey. Never mind all she said. A bewildering torrent of whim- •ering, mincing, winking and (linking preceded her main sub- ject. Finally she discharged' the broadside at point blank range. She had arrived at the impor- tant climax by carefully regulated gradations, \Ah me! this is a strange world, Mr. Stephen. But I think you ought to know ite-I don't like to tattl*--I will not tattle•! But it is my duty to tell you this. I heard Laura Dempsey say—she laid in my heading, and I doubt not it was meant for my ears, heard her say these words. Said she, in speaking of you, when \ome one had laughingly joked her about becoming the»*rife of Stephen Langdon—said she, in direet response to the calling of your name—I don't eare for him— why should I ? But I do care for his money? TPhoae were her words, sir, iust as she spoke them. But I thought to myself—I guessed all her care, one way t>r the other, wouldn't matter much to Stephen Langdon., And I think I judged rightly-. The man replied as beat he could. By a mighty effort he restrained his deeper feelings, and kept them mostly out of) sight; and the pythoness went away^elieving in jier heart that Stephen L&ngdon had no lore for Laura Dempsey. An hour later Dadmun Carter found his friend pacing to and fro, bearing in his bosom the sharpest, keenest agony of all his life. At first he refused to speak, bui at length the true friend succeeded in drawing from him the whol story. \ Dadmun, there is no truth in woman.* I was a fool to think she •f tr loved me for myself. Had I been poor and lonely she would have passed me by with utter contempt But, ah! I did love her dwply, truly.\ For a full minute Carter wit- nessed hit friend's great agony in contemplative, pitying silence. At length he spoke. \Stephen Langdon, I had not thought you so weak and unjust. I had thought you a man tr,ue and earnest in your friendship, not a man to desert*his duty at the first cry of the wolf.\ \Dadmun Carter! we yotx mad ?\ \ I mad? Stephen, you «w the madman. Look at it. As between an angel and a serpent, you side with th« serpent. As between an angelan<l#4*rpentl As between Laura Dempsey and Matilda Stark, you jump to faith in Stark. Oh, it ? But beyond that^ in this case, who is the complainant? Eixsi^ what is her character? Do I need to tell you ? 5> Langdon shook his head blankly, •ut indicative of negation. \ Next,\ went on Carter, \ what interest, if any, has she in the matter ? Stephen, are yeu blind ? Don't you know that Matilda Stark sought your smiles, your society, your hand, so open and so unblushingly, and so persist- sntly, that everybody smiled in ain ? And do you know that ihe has since labored to bring about a union between yourself and her youngest sister ?\ Stephen looked up like a man rying to find the light. \ Come, Stephen Langdon, have >u the courage to follow this hing up ?\ \What? goto Laura? Go to ier with such—I'm afraid I've >een a fool; but you don't know iow it hurt me.\ \I do not doubt it; but I don't fancy the hurt will long remain to give you pain. If there were need if going to Laura, I should hope p ou would have the courage and manliness—to say nothing of good faith—to go to her; but, thank fortune, there was a third party present, and one whom I know you will credit; though, be sure, Miss Stark did not know she had another hearer. Your old nurse, Betty, was in an adjoining room, and heard every word. Let us go to her. She will be circum- spect where you are concerned.\ \ But, Dadmun, how came you oknow?\ s \Because! chanced to call on Laura very shortly after Mi Stark had gone away, and I found her in tears, I confess to the weak- ness of curiosity, and, so far, of intermeddling. I waited until I could speak with old Betty apart, and from her I learned the truth. Let us go now. Laura is absent this afternoon.\ Stephen Langdon went with his friend. They found Betty alone, and to her Carter stated the business in hand. , Oh the falsifying, mischief making thing 1 M snapped the old lady. \I'll tell you, Master Stephen, just how it was—foi heard every word—every word, just as plain as though I'd sat But, man alive, did you not •anderstmid what I told you?— *h*t she, Matilda Stark, told mnT % > u W«Ili there you have a cause in trial between Stark and pep Bey.

One of the curious incidents of ;he war wag the phenomenal ca- reer of Gridley and his sack of lour. Reuel Colt Gridley, a na- ive of Hannibal, Mo., removed to California in 1852. In 1861 he settled in Austin, Nev., where he was engaged in merchandizing, and did a prosperous business. He was a war Democrat, and in 1864 made a wager that the Demo- ratic candidate for mayor of Austin would be elected. He lost, md by the terms of the wager was o buy a sack of flour for the win- lerand carry it through j^the prin- :ipal streets of the place, a distance )f a mile and a quarter. When the time came for paying the >etMr. Gridley appeared w|th the sack of flour tied with ribbons and iecorated with flags. A vast con- jourse of people assembled and a procession was\ formed headed by ;he city officials. These were fol- lowed by a brass band, the winner of the bet carrying Mr. Gridley's hat and cane, and Mr. Gridley with the sack on his shoulder, accompanied by his son, aged thirteen, carrying a \Union flag. As the procession moved the people cheered, steam whistles were blown jells rang and the best of good •eeling prevailed. When the end of the journey was reached, after much good- natured badinage between the members of the political parties, Mr. Gridley proposed to test the \ grit\ of the people then and here. He suggested that the sack >f flour be put up at auction and sold, and that whoever the pur- chaser might be should pay the amount bid and give the sack back to be sold again, all for the benefit •f the Sanitary Commission. The tecessary arrangements were quickly made, the auctioneer mounted a box and the sale began. Mr. Gridley himself was the first purchaser and paid f300 for the right before her.\ And then she went on and told the story. Matilda Stark had come on pur- pose to sow the seeds of discord and unhappiness if she could. She had told Laura, directly and distinctly, that Langdon cared no more for her than }.e cared for many others ; and she tried to im- press it. upon the girl's mind thai she was doing a thing dangerou* to ^her peace, and, it might be, dangerous to her reputation, in suffering the frequent visits of such a man, a man, she said, old enough to be her father. And so the evil woman had gone on, until she had goaded the poor girl almost to madness. \But said Stephen, \ Misi Stark told me that Laura distinct- ly told her that she cared not fo: me, but that she did care for my money !\ The old woman put out her hand \Oh the wicked woman! If sh< had told you all that the dear girl said, it would have sounded very different; here is whai Laura said, I ean give her very words: Miss Stark had told her that people aecused her of hunting for a rich husband, and that she never would have looked with favor upon Stephen Langdon had it not beej for his wealth. And then Laur; said— * I care not for Stephen Langdon's wealth \ I never cared for him as owner of va*t estates, never.' And then the serpent said to her in her w needling way, 'And so you wouldn't care for wealth ?\ ana Laura answered to that * Yes,' she said, in her sweet way, *I should care for wealth, because with wealth I could make so many people happy. I should love to be able to lift the burden of sor- row from every human heart: and the possessor of wealth can do so much I Oh. so much V That's what she said, Stephen.\ The sunlight had come, Stephen Langdon's heart hounded up. And that very evening he sat by Laura's side, with her hand clasp- ed in hi>, and listened to the story from her own lips; and before he went away he had set the day for their marriage, for he knew that the girl loved him truly and de- votedly. Years have passed since that time, and Stephen Langdon has never had occasion to doubt the love of his wife. And, moreover, the forecast of Dadmun Carter had been fulfilled in every particular. Stephen had been raised to plane of healthfol, happy life be- fore unknown; and, under the guidance of hit wife, entering into her schemes of love and blessing, he haft earned the love and bless- log. in rich return, of all whi have the heart and the will te ap- preciate tnm Christian goodness.— he'seemed to be touched by her apparent distress, Again she tried to find the missing coin, even turn- ing the pocket inside out.

But the conductor was proof against the appeal, though to his credit, be it said, he was not harsh. \No that's against the rules.

It was then sold again for So it went on until more ;han $5,000 in cash had been re- id Th ti d ized. The co other places and ontagion Mr. spread to Gridley was ith invited to make a tour wit his sack of flour. At Gold Hill, on May 6, his arrival created gTeat excitement and in a short time the sum of $5,225 was realized from the sale of the sack.. At Virginia City the excitement was still great- er, \and the first bid for the flour in that place was $3,500. The total sales there were $22,000. Then Mr. Gridley took his sack to Sacramento and San Francis»o, and the fund was so rapidly aug- mented that it soon reached $63,- 000. Then there came a demand for Gridley and his sack in the East, and he took it as far as New York. So successful was this wonderful enterprise, that the monev collected and turned over by Gridley to the Sanitary Commi- ssion for the benntofthe soldiers reached the sum of $275,000. During all this time Gridley paid his own expenses, adding to the fund every dollar that was re- ceived from the sale of the flour. His success in raising money has no parallel, although he impover- ished himself, and after the war he found himself in Stockton with- out a dollar. He rnmoved to Paradise City, CaL, where he died, November 24, 1870, in poverty. The members of Rawlins Post^ No. 23, G. A. R., Department of California, at Stock- ton, in 1882 started a project to raise a fund to place a suitable memorial over the grave of Mr. Gridley.

She was pinched, worn and pale, and her dress was ; shabby and faded. She carried a large bundle of laundry and a baby, while a little girl, scarcely able\ to toddle, clung to her dress. She sank into her seat with a sigh of relief and put thebundle down on the floor at her feet, then shift- ed tlie sleeping infant to her other shoulder and heljwd the toddler up on the seat beside her. Every movement betekened weariness, and her wan face told plainly of suffering and sorrow, when the conductor approached for her fare the poor woman began a nervous search for her money. She felt down in the pocket of her worn sown, and as she groped within its recesses a look oTconsteraation crossed her face.^ Presently she looked up in th© conductors face and said: \I cant find my money.
