LIGHT OUT OF DARKNESS

often to their natural tone, but at tliaes a discordant note told too plainly that her heart was not fully reassured. The young man meanwhile web assiduously trying to banish every dots i from the sweet girl's brow, and all his really ex cellent qualities were called into action and M» hasty temper and natural hau teur were wisely controlled when at the farm, whioh by no means was infre quent. And so, happy in their new occupa tions, without ennui or discontent, each actively employed during the day, look ing forward with even more than the old exhilaration to the peaceful evenings, which always gathered them together to mingle in pleasant conversation or in-1 Btruotive reading, the winter glided cheerfully on. Fearful of another explosion from Orenyille the family had all been very careful not to hazard any remark in his presence with reference to the intense wblio feeling which by this time was ;: .art culminating toward a crisis. The /-wisdom maybe doubted of the strict ret icence, but the time was drawing near which must compel a full separation of the "sheep from the goats" and call in trumpet tones to all: "Choose ye this day whom ye will serve. If the Lord be God, then follow him. If Baal, then follow him." That strong affection which shrinks so naturally from giving pain to the beloved one is not always the wisest counselor, but the good parents, although not satisfied with the uncer tainty that hung over their child's fu ture, avoided any word that might force Grenville into an avowal of his senti ments until it should be settled past con troversy whether it was to be peace or war with the south. Fears lest Rose's peace was endangered »nd apprehensions f or'their country were the only shadows that fell across their pleasant life. Both these perils caused ftt times great anxiety, but like the dreams of the aight they soon vanished, for to American minds the idea of a war, Qi any attempt at real disunion, had so little tangibility it was not strange, en grossed as they were with so much that was novel in their own situation, that it should be difficult to realize the danger. Their minds were not arpused by the in tense exoitement that city residents ex perienced when morning and evening papers and frequent bulletins kept the Strain in perpetual tumult. Mr. Newton could not afford either time or money for such luxuries or an noyanoes. But their one weekly paper or some intelligence brought by Duncan in Ms frequent visits to Lillian and the friends at the farm often roused their indignation almost beyond control, show ing that under all the peacefulness of their present life a fire smoldered that needed but a spark at any time or mo ment to leap intp an inextinguishable fiaiae." ' * Dunbar was present, the coun try^, prospects, were the constant theme, out of late GfrenviUe, who once was ac cujßtoxaed to meet Dunbar that they might walk together every evening to Mr. Newton's house, now apparently avoided him, for they seldom met and never called together. While Jasper was with them those topics that were of the greatest interest were never mentioned. The family ventured on no questions, and he volunteered no remark. He was unwearying in little acts of kindness, apt to devise topics of general interest or amusement, and to Rose never was lover so devoted. If Rose was only waiting patiently for unmistakable revelations of his feelings and intentions or had really been lulled to rest by his unceasing kindness and - tenderness, neither her parents nor broth era could understand, but they had be?. come painfully certain that he harbored? in his heart a purpose that might at any moment "sweep all her^ hopes,"like- sand, away." It came at, last, that fearful day, just as the cold, §tern winter had departed and, spring was full of promise—Sumter Biirrenctered. For some days groups of men were seen standing on the corners of the streets in earnest conversation, and "expectation stood aghast with hor ror." j The excitement spread all over the j country. At Montgomery tfipa the peace and quiet of the winter tyere dis-, pelled by stern and resolute watchful ness, waiting impatiently for the si^pat to spring to arms, Dunbar w^witji them every evening of the previous week to keep them posted and asaange.fpr in stant action whenever- needed. Gren ville came not at all, ftoie moved,about her work mechanically, repelling any indication by, word or look that seemed like sympathy with, an! impatience, an fa^bility, so foreign ifco her nature that t£> Tjfa8 Mfeo;^ evident some concealed fear oar. sorrow was hidden in her heart. 'Qii*' this eventful Sabbath Grenville ■aade his appearance in season for din ner. He apologized for his absence the past week on the plea of slight illness, telling Rose he would have sent her a line, but each morning he felt sure of be ing better before night, but found him iSelf mistaken. He had, however, em-J braced the first moment of convalesces^. to come to her. So wretohedly pafe and, haggard did hg look that h&t: Heart re, poached h«*r for the do^is .which she I*B^ tlied in vain to ©©aoealj and. even her friends were s^^teuok by. bis misera bly changed appearance as to be almost ready to tope, they had; misjudged; him* and carefully avoided remarks thai might (a^Grb,the' Sabbath by bitter,ie©ltngor TBajpuarjied'. anger. '•Etistjice/had failed to be with them in the'r morning or to attend Lillian to ijfeurch, and knowing such unwonted ab,- Bjeaee was significant George, with, nis father's consent, after dinner % a s just starting for the city whe^ " ne espied the truant riding rapidly up the lane and hastened to tne.et him. As the friends met Eustace Exclaimed: "It is ",yar now, war of complete ex termination or submission." i "Stay a moment. Is Grenville with you?" "Yea. He has been here but a short time and is either ill or in great mental anxiety. Have you heard anything more of his movements?"

4 'Yes, indeed I Enough to destroy him! Our poor Hose I

"The southern sympathizers in the city are wildly jubilant over this first aggressive step of their brethren and now feel safe to speak out. Horton told me exultingly that Grenville was heart and hand with them; that he had just reoeived a letter from his father urging him to break away from all ties here at once and hasten to ioin them, saying that his father's inMen6ewith his party had secured for his son a high position in the large army they arb rais ing. Horton says he saw the commis sion, and that Q-renville had accepted this very morning and was confident that when Rose saw that his mind was fixed she would yield." "Ah, how little he understands our darling! Or rather, he understands too well. What he said to Horton was Bpo ken in a moment of excitement, and his dispirited manner since he oamo proves plainly he dare not even broach the sub ject to her. He must have known of this news you bring, and yet not a word has he spoken." "But, oh, George, how will the dear girl bear it?" "It certainly will not be half so heavy upon her as the torturing suspense under which she has for some weeks been pin ing. I think we have been unwise to conceal our knowledge of his intentions bo long. But I will at once unmask the villain! My sweet darling sister!" "When the young men entered the \ house, all gathered anxiously around Eus tace, for, his face once seen, there could be no doubt he brought tidings of great importance. The tale was soon told. The fearful step had been too long antic ipated for any great surprise to blend with the excitement and indignation it caused. The color fled from every face, but the lofty courage and stern resolu tion stamped on each feature needed not words to tell how willingly they would offer their lives for a country so dearly loved and bitterly insulted. "And now may God bless us and speed us to our work," said Eustace, while with his arm thrown closely around Lil lian h© read with pride and admiring love the unselfish spirit with which she laid her heart's life oa her country's al tar. Mr. Newton raised his hand to heaven and solemnly blessed them, while Mrs. Newton, with more than a Roman moth er's fortitude—a Christian heroism yielded her brave boys to her country's service. But when Alfred sprang to her arms with an imploring look and the one word—"Mother"—she pressed her quiv ering lips to his noble brow, unable to re ply to that unspoken entreaty. But his father laid his hand lovingly on his head, p saying: "My boy, I am too old and you too young to enter into active service for our land, at least for the present. Should there be pressing need, neither age nor youth shall keep us back at such a call. This good mother will yield us without & word of remonstrance." While this was passing Rose, f o^'get ting lover, self, all but her country's peril, had listened with compressed lips and eyes whose heroic light vcu&ht have led men to the cannon's mouth. Q-ecrge saw that a spirit was roused within her at this moment that would, sustain her under the coming revelatwft, 69, turn ing suddenly to Grenvijl©*. lie sa#h ' "We must endeavor to be all enlisted in the same regiment,, and by 'going into town tonight wecaji ente^our names early tomorrow. &ad be bn hand to march at any moment. This precious, darling sister-will have little time to re deem her pledge of lasjc fall." Without a moment's hesitation she passed to her loter's side and laid heir! hand timidly on his, then raised thos» Qloquent eyea to his face with a took afi earnest, pleading love, at the same Utop carrying xnto his inmost soul the convic tion that every word of that pledge was well remembered and would Tb& ■'rajjly aot^a upon in every partiej&lar. tie threw his arms convulsivej^-ftrotind her and said: "Oh, Rose! My ow* Boset Be mine nowl Consult ycfajtomm heart and nofi your prejudices., fevtwo days a steamer leaves for th©, ©Ift worldl Seel I will give up aU to? r your desir sake. Leave the strife.and. bitterness here and wander i with me .through gay, beautiful France a»# ; Hunny Italy till peace isoneemorfe Eeafrbred," 3For©ne instant Rose gazed Into his face, with scorn and contempt quivering in every lineament. Then dashing hia arm from around her and springing to her father's side, her head ereot and eyes whose burning light ahould have blasted the traitor where h© stood, she cried: wDo you hear that man, father? Do you understand what he asks of your daughter?" "I fear I do* but too well, my sweet child. Grenville, ife is high time that all duplicity on, your part should cease. Nay, check your passionate- reply, ) have not been as fully blinded as y ou " had ho§ed, but for sopi time have f9" dVe^ that»,while appauently one with < as y6 s ib, your heart you were joined to' the south in ajl her wicked desj'gng if j have misjudged you, with » r d my heart * beg your pardon, but t^ er the present ommmstan&esl feel ei^tied to demand an explicit avowal 0$ true senti ments" ' £ hf^ wf^i your judgments and your auction to r _a c ? What proo* have you that, thougi?. i 6gs enthusiastic, lam I &ot "gjy aa 'loyti. to my country as yourself?" den* anded the young man, with muoh temper and embarrassment. "Mere raWterfuge," cried George. "I did not think yau -would stoop to such miserable quibWdngv In your heart you ! £a,ve a meaning that your words do not reveal. You feali t&ie south your coun try, but do not recognize the north as suoh, and th,eu talk of your loyaltyj" "Again I ask, -tyrhat proofs have you of this asser.tfe>n?' "Oh,, Jasper! Dear Jasper!" cried Rose, ©nee more starting to his side and clasping hishaMs. "We ask no proofs but your own, words. Only assure me you are true ito our united country and ready to fight with my brothers under the stars and stripes, and we ask no fur ther. Your lave for your birthplace may have warped your judgment, while all was uncertain and the strife had bsen but a war of words, but now that ihe

In searching for the cause, sus picion fell on the tea they had used. A sample taken from a one pound tin in use was analysed and found to contain strong traces of muriatic ar.iil, the presence of which is caused by the use of spirits of salts in welding the parts of tin togetheri The analyst warns consumers that tea packed in small tins, owing to its very absorbent naturo, is very liable to become impregnated with this acid, and therefore dangerous for human consumption, and advises that the very safest package to purchase is that packed in lead with an inside lining of vegetable parchment. This style of packet is quite impervious to the air, and tea so packed has been known to retain al its aroma and strength for a period of five years. 9 WOTB.— KO2IB IE A is packed in lead with ao nside lining of Vcgo table Parchment.
