We went up the lotag lane together —Sarah Bell, Aunt Perkins and I. . It was a cloudy night, with a struggling moon behind tbo great shifting masses of shadow, , The wind ran by us in long sweeping gusts, and sent the dry leaves rustling across the path.

Behind us, in the house with the sloping gable, Agnes Somen lay dying. The window of Iter, room* looked oi\t on the lane1 and showed through the dropped gray curtain the faint glimmer of a night-lamp. . All the rest of the house and the rest of the world looked lonely and forsaken. Sallie wha shiv­ering in her waterproof; die dark hood drawn over her head, framed her round white cheeks* and dimpled chin, as if glad to cling about them with a close caress. / \

Long watching and weariness had worn on Sarah's . ready, bduyant strength, , For .the first time in three lossg, anxious weeks she Had consented to leave us for one night's quiet rest in her own homo—tho happy household where death or heavy sorrow had never yet made entrance.

We had scarcely spoken a Word all the way up.to thegate. The stillness and the sound were Nature's own; her mtt, mysterious rustlings and whisper­ings, and sudden, awful silences, were about4 us as we walked* and hushed our lees significant speech.

At the gate Sarah stopped to say goodnight

"You need not come any farther. I can run across alone." There was real entreaty in her steady, out-giving eyes as she raised them to my face. . "No,

(doctor, please. It is" only a step, and 1 Agnes may Wtot you," .

"We'll standi here, then, until we heai+your gatf slam," Aunt Perkins said, patting Sarah's hand between her hands. "Heaven bless you,' dear! You're been blessed help to us in our time of trouble. Sallie, do you know, dear, something tells me' surely that the one we are waiting:for will .never corner -

Sarah said ftothing for a moment; than she spoke in her soft, firm voice.

1'Agnes told m e to-night, a little while ago, that she could not die* until she had seen him again, She asked about the last telegram, when it would reach him, and about the trains. ,- She made me brjng her little * box, and showed me a ring—the ring. Poor Agnes!" with a loilg> shuddering sigh. "It is on her finger now. She said, •Sarah, death is better than life, for it lets us tell the truth,and makes us afraid of shums. Douglas will come to me, and I will tell him every thing* I will take his kiss to heaven w th me, and it wilftioi aeem like death.f And then she said, 'Sarah, I would notfkill my pride, so it has killed m e / n '

"That is true,"'Aunt Perkins susfent-ed, sadly. '*! knew a year ago that Agnes rJiust die; but she had sealed her lips, and no one dared sj tiak of her trouble. Sincethe day they parted she had never uttered Douglas Hamilton's name, until she begged me yesterday to send for him. I knew then that she had given up her last hope of life. I pray that he may come before it is tpo late!". -.. \i .V-

€<Oood night I will come) over early In the morning, and to-nsorrow you must rest Good night, Doctor Earle; I am so glad you will stay with Agnes to-night/*

We watched her slim black figure I until it melted among the heavy tree \ shadows, and the clash of a gate in the

distance gave us signa^of her safe ar­rival. Then we returned to the quiet house. \ ....

When we entered I went at. once to Agnes' chamber. Anbie, the heavy German maid-of-all-work, sfet in' tho watcher's chair, fasc asleep, but Agnes was awake ahd brightly smiling. Her thin, bloodless fingers were twisting the fringes of the 'counterpane, or pinching little folds in the pillow-poor, restless hand, that must s6 soon be quiet 1 i

As I approached the bed, khe said In an eager whisper*-* V p ?

"Arthur, will you do something for me, for your little cousin Agnes—will' you, Arthur!"

"Dear, anything in the world that 1 can do, you may be sure of that/\

"But it is only a little thing, after all—just this: w*U you stay with me to-night—just you alone? I will tell you why; [Douglas Hamilton is com­ing, did y4u know, and Aunt Perkins never liken him. • She must not be With me when he comes, * you under­stand? Will you sit with me, Arthur, you good Doyt". ,(••-.

"Douglas will not come to-ni£ht, Agnes," I said, gently; "that is impos­sible. The earliest train that can bring him is not due until £ve in the morn­ing. The Journey is vary long—!,

She interrupted me in her old willful

You muit not talk to me, dear," she added, piteously. ' 'You must say 'yes' *-FOU have promised, you know." ,

**I will do anything you tell me, Atgnes," I answered, kiting the hand she held towards me.' "I only spoke because I wishfed, anfl.I wish still to save, you from disappointment." '/Having dismissed Annie to bed, I easily persuaded Aunt Perkins to rest on a sofa* in the adjoining room, within call; and shortly after mid night all was still, and I had composed thyself for the *long;watches of theJiight'

• Agnes jand I were children of two sisters, and haA both been left orphans I and confined to the care of a third, sis­ter, our 4*od"AuUt Perkins, who had taken us aoth to h«r inotherly heart, with the' great,, yearning love that only a childless woman can feel.

I was many years ^der than Ag^es, f and had been out in^he Vorldj battling for foothold in my profession, while she was living out her little romance, that had grown to such a sad and tragic ending* *.>. ".•> i ^ /

I had heard .much of Dduglas Ham-' ilton, and hadtmet him puce or twice m my brief vifcita at home, but? knew nothing beyond the fact that he and Agnes had been engaged and separated. It seemed to be a sort of metual uhder standing, with no fault alleged on elther.side: and beyond a cdrtain fever­ish gaiety, not altogether natural, J could not discover any alteration in Agnes' manner/ She was always a sensitive, delicate creature* both as a child and woman; fragile is a flower, yet full of intense vitality.

WhU W daily fever began, the strange rehUesftness, the sledpless nights and slowly failing strength, I attributed theee sign** to purely physical causes. I had not dreamed how bravely the little martyr had carried her cross through ice and firs and the loneliness of desolation*. ,: . . f % ; .

It had come upon lis like a shock, the knowledge, that she had suffered down to death for her' love's sake. Even then, sitting beside her dying pillow,! could not realise that the days ot her bright young life were numbered, thftt for her there were no more to­morrows, save the great .to-morrow beyond the grave, \ i •.".-.,.

Presently her swAet tired voice broke the spell of sorrowful thought :

•'Arthur, areydu therot" ^ r Thank heaven she could still speak

tome, and look at me with-a living soul in hter dark eyes*

"Yes, Agnes; what can 1 do for you, darling!" / .

"Stay with trie. That is alii" i then she added, slowly— 'Pray that I may stay* I fed as if

I wer* drifting away* He would be sorry to.fljid megone." ;. ' / >:

me wine to her lips, She le, and asked, smiling— an anchor, Arthur! Will it et a little while against the

t

Oculars yet. \ The news came this morning by telegraph. They have sent a train out We shall know soon."

Before mid-day we knew indeed. First on the list df the identified dead was the name of Douglas Hamilton. Later, his body came, and was brought to tWftouae, and the very room where Agrafe lay. Strange-reunion, without word, or look or touch! ' There -ws|$ something unspeakably awful in the mysterious companionship they held, apart from all the world. But the strange part of my story is yet to be told.. ' - j / - /

1 learned afterwards from th surgeon who bad cored for Dou, las, ' when he was , lifted oujt of the ruins of the, wrecked cat-raige, and from an Acquaintance whp was present also throughout the who

' scene, thatt while they were busy tryi to ascertain the extent of, his inj the young man raised hlmrielf sudden ss from a stupor, and (y d, in a lou clear voice—.-,. -•;

"I must go to Agnesl" ani install ly, with the words almost, his brea ceased. ^ j -

This hed happened at twenty mih utes after midnight, the same time AJg nes had held out her dying arms to the lover who had kepi his word in spite |of fite and death.

I am not superstitious, and de riot ^believe that disembodied spirits revisit 4the pale glimpses of the moon. Atttie same time it, does not seem to me poaa ble to explain, cm grounds purely ma­terial or scientific, the strange circup stances I have just related.

"Isth hold me tide 1" #

I smoothed the pillow, and she laid her head down like avtired child, grateful for rest andUomfort.

As oiuietly as possible I replenished the flrp, which had been dimly burn­ing, and returned to my chair. It was then a few minutes after twelve o'clock I remember looking at my Watch, as I sal down and opened the volume of Thackeray that lay at hand. * I had scarcely turned a page, when suddenly the door of the room burst open, and a great rush of wind came in* I felt the chili current sweep over my face, and saw the lamp flame .blown, and the leaves of my book rustle, as plainly as ever I felt or saw anything unoe I first knew conscious use of my senses. As­tonished aud rather startled, I rose in­stantly, but before I could frame a thought or take a step, Agnes' voice rang out clear and strong in a broken, joyous cry-— - .•- »• •;

"Douglas, oh, Douglas, my darling 1 OhjJhank Heaven!" * Hit there was no one! theref. Agnes

The Albany Evening Journal refer­ring to the recent visit of ex-Senatcjrs Conkling and Piatt with Jay Gould at his sunnper place, Irvingtoq, and to i the relations of the former with Gov­ernor Cdrnell, says- s * ; I * We have stated, what is known to every one, that Mr. Conkling istae retained attorney of Jaxj Gould, and has been since his retirement from the senate. ' A year ago last Kvinter, a bill was passed by the legislature relieving the. Pacific Steamship company from la city tax of $100,000. It was a bill against law, equity and decertcy, bit the governor was asked to give it has approval Mr." Gould was largely in­terested in the ewindlfe, and Mr. Conk­ling, as his counsel, was anxious that it should not encounter the executive veto. t He so intimated in hiA blandelst and most persuasive way, and othens, "by authority," assured the governor that it would be greatly for his political interest if he should affix his signature

.to the bill. But the governor could not be persuaded either by Mr. GouH, or others that it would be right to tio wrong, either to please a friend pr benefit himself, and the bill was not signed. Although the refusal of the governor to take $100,000 out of the pockets of the tax-payers of the city (of New YoVk andt put it in the treasury chest of a rich Corporation was credi­table to his personal courage and official integrity, it w fc not calculated to mil-lify the anger of Mr. Gould's counsel or to win the friendship of Mri Gou(d himself. , . r ;

And this is not $11 Our will remember the elevated rail

iax exemption swindle, to which had occasion to frequently refer lakt wint&. The purpose of that bill wis to exempt the company from the pay--ment of an assessed tax of more than 1250,000. It was adroitly ifrorkdd, (hrough the legislature "regardless Of expense, "ahd was expected to be worked through the ^xecutiye chamber bjjr some eqiially Effective process. V Toe governor was told that he could" maUe • tjhe bill not only tho instrument br which to close t tile ^breach between himself and Mr. Conkling, but a Jevdr by which his renomirfation could be made easy and his election sure. Hie was even told thatassoorjashissignsv ture Was attached to the billalansjo

• block of new stock would be , issuea, which would be placed in the hands Of parties named1, and that the govern (jr himself would not be forgotten in the distribution; ahd further, that as the stock would immediately advance $30 a share, an interest in the "divider would enable the fortunate holders to turn a hanfisotnc penny without ridk or inconvenience.

The answer of the governor to these glittering^ proffers was given in his veto of the bill, which, if be liad signed, old friendships might,have been re­newed, old breaches might have been healed, a renomination might have been secured, and a handsome sub would have been guaranteed to make his calling and election sure. * j

These are some of the reasons,brififly outlined which made Mr. Conkliag and Mr. Gould the bitter and uncom­promising enemies Of governor Cor­nell. Whether others "in authority;' share in his enmity we are not advised. But those who know Mr. Conklimg know that he will leave no stone un­turned to compass the defeat of a gen­tleman who hpd the courage to f rankjiy tell him of his errors. . • •

How a

An Alarming Cattle Disease.

A singular and serious disease has broken out among a herd of cattle at Weedsportin this state, which is treat­ing considerable alarm in that vicinity. A special dispatch to the Syracuse Herald says: A terrible plague has broken out aniong a herd of fat cattle in a pasture of ninety-five acres about three n ilo* south of this village, in the town of Bennett # Up to this time ten of the an>fnals have died, and there are but three or four that are not affected. The pasture was leased try two butchers of this village, jointly, for keeping their fat cattle. Among the number was a big ox for which $190 was paid, and which was to have been slaughtered for ^burnvale camp meeting. 'Hie ox was apparently in good condition three days since, but is now dead. The disease has no promi­nent symptom, except debility, which conies on suddenly/ The animal is apparently diszy and falls, staggers around for a few hours, then lies down, froths at the muzzle and expires. It was discovered Saturday afternoon and has been rapidly mortal, only one of the animals attacked having sur~ vived. Inasmuch a** all the Weeds-port meat markets draw their supplies from this pasture, the sale "of beef has ceased. * The loss* falls upon Messrs. Quick & Co., afid JL S. Tryon, butch­ers, and J.. Smith Sheldon, cattle dfealor. All the dead animals were state catlle. There are no Texan cattle in the pasture, although there were some in the same lot a few weeks ago. Under tne statute* it is made the

fduty of the governor to promptly issue orders and regulations and quarantine, employincUherefor so many agents as he judges necessary. The governor has been telegraphed, but he is on a

^political mission at Saratoga. Prof. James Law, of Ithaca, state veterina­rian, is away from home, and there are grave fears of a spread of the dis­ease to dther herds.

SHIPPING; ootB coi& -f l o w the P le t t s iar* Pol ice* fo Can­

vas aad KCVSHTIM> Reel Tape j . F raeess , .» > -

Gold coin for shipment to Europe is packed in kegs, each keg containing $50,000. Specie is not thrown loosely into aJceg, nor upon the other hand is it carefully wrapped in tissue paper and piled one coin upon andCher.. The keg serves only as a protection for can­vas bags, into which the gold is placed in the ordinary hit-and-miss fashion of pennies in a Jersey farmer's wallet The canvas of 4hese bags is especially stout and the ends are sewed particu­larly strong. In the interests of secur­ity each keg is treated to what is tech­nically known among the shippers as the "red-t$ping" process. At each end of the keg, in the projecting rims of the staves above the head, are bored four holes at equi distant intervals. A piece of tad tape is ran through these holes, crossing on the head of thekeg, and the ends finally meet in the center. At the point of meeting the tape is sealed to the keg's head by hard wax' bea rirfg the stamp of the shipper. Any meddling with the keg must break the tape- or wax, and so on the trip across the ocean it is an easy mat­ter to watch the valuable consignment and detect any attempt to interfere with it... • •• .' i4. ..v- * /

Gold crosses the ocean, very much as does every other kind of freight Years ago Ujere were sojne shippers who detailed an employe with every consignment to act as a sort of detec­tive and hpld a watch as best he could over tlfeir kegs. No 'such care is ever taken now. As a *ule, the gold ship- j ped is insured., Safely watched until on shipboard, the precious freight is then under control of tha. vessel au­thorities and the marine insurance companies, and upon these parties is all responsibility placed. The average rate of insurance is about £850—some­thing over $1,700— upon a shipment of $1,000,000. There are shippers who do not insure, or rfcther they insure themselves.. One prominent house in Will street,. which sent $30,000,000 abroad last y^ur, paid no tax to any insurance^ompany. The savingH thus effected amounted to, about $50,000. j In maintaining this policy .of no in­surance, these shippers say that their savings on this account since they have, been i^ business have been such as would enable them to lose outright a shipment.of $1,000,000 or more, and still have a balance to their credit in the fund which they have set aside in thai* own house instead of paying it out for insurance. Carefully choosing the steamers upon which to place consign­ments, they discount all probability of disaster. As a rule, however, the ship-' per who does not insure divides upon his consignment*. Having to <ahip $1,000,000, he will give it in ejual parts to four or five different vessels. It is a mfct rule with some Wall street firms^ever ta trust more than $2*6,000 at a time on any one ship. . - . v :

One »of the singular circumstances connected w;ith the shipping of gold is that for the last twenty years or more every k g which has been taken out of Wall street has been handed down to the vessels by one man, "honest old John Barkiey," who is said to have grown rich in the business. For each" keg he takes on board his truck he is paid one dollar, and the big heavy one ho has had built for the special purpose will carry '$2,000,000, or forty kegs. Similar monopoly is held by Cooper Spier, who ifurnishes all the kegs and packs t^em, getting two dollars for eaclf one completed. * •,

In shipping specie there are many 'matters of detail which the exper­ienced man knows to be of prime im­portance, but which, to a person un­acquainted with the business,, seems valueless. For instance, in making ready a shipment of $1,000,000 to Europe, the ordinary individual would quite as willingly hag five dollar pieces as double eagles* Not so the. shipper who has his eye on the main chance. He demands the double eagles every time. Chief among the reasons for. this choice is the fact that specie shipped in any quantity for any considerable distance always loses i& weight, and consequently in value, through, abrasion. While a five-thou­sand dollar bag made up of five-dollar coins would contain one thousand pieces, the same in double- wrlee would take only two hundred and fifty pieces.

In |he latter instance there is not much* if any more than one fourth ot tne chance for abrasion which exists in the former. Eight five dollar pieces show a far great surface and have much sharper coinage lines than do two double eagles, and the loss try abrasion on a long, rough opean voy­age must, of course,*,^'considerably greater with coins' of lesser value. The uninitiated would, be apt* to smile when told that there is loss—and one, of consequence—by this abrasion of coins, Circumstances,; varying on different voyages, of course, produce variance in the extent of the abra­sion. "On an average," said a prom­inent shipper^ "a million of dollars sent across to London will lose—well, a few dollkrs." Pressed to estimate more definitely, the shipper said: "A few dollars. Oh, that's t definite enough." What the Wall street man considered "a few dollars" was shown by reference to the account books of one of the heaviest houses (ft the street. Take the shipment of one million dol­lars, recently made, ope was found to have fallen short m the voyage a frac­tion more than eighteen ^ounces, an­other a fraction more than nineteen ounces, wh le in a shipment of seven hundred and fifty- thousand dollars, there was a loss of a fraction more than twenty ounces. The average loss can safely be estimated at sixteen ounces on a million* dollar shipment Gold being w^rth silteen dollars an ounce, sands "a few dollars" up tp about two hundred anji fifty dollars. The only protection to be found against

abrasion, lies in {he shipment of gold bars instead of coins. Until quite re­cently, however, gold bars have not been readily obtainable. To secure them the shipper has been obliged to pay a premium, and generally so high was that premium placed the bul­lion brokers commimding the situa­tion, that the possible loss by abrasion

I would not by any means balance i t But pot long a ^ h change came over this condition of affairs, and a law has been passed repenUyby C>cipgress> allowing the Sub-T>easury here to pass out fincsgold bars from its vaults in exchange for national coins.

There is. occasionally an interesting item of 'expense of another nature, the mere entry of which on an aocoim^ book would be apt to puxzle the man not acquainted withal! the petty details of shipping. "Sixty bags" is th* charge recently sent from Lofedon to one big New York ihippar. This sig­nified (hat the cooper hero in fastening the,iron bancla upon.the specie kig* &*d driven his nails through the containing the coin. . Th» result that the London agents of tin New York house were obliged to. repack every b y *>.torp, be the hole ever so slight, before it could be plheed on the English market The cost of new bags was a trivial matter, But it is of trivial matters that* the man who huandles millions is generally most carefuL
