When Madge heard the breakfast bell, she rushed from her room fully dressed, and engaging a carriage was soon rolling over the road to Bellville Park. When she arrived there she asked immediately for Mrs. Bascoinbe, who cordially welcomed her. To her she related the discovery she had made, and when thia was done, she was admitted to the chamber of Gertrude who welcomed her with great delight.

CHAPTER XXVIII. 15 WHICH MR. OSBORX 6KEK3 AND TINDS AND BARBARA. IS MADH HAPPY. When Barbara received the mysterious package from the hands of the young lawyer, she hurried to her temporary lodgings, impatient to ascertain its contents. Arriving there she opened it without delay, and found therein a letter from Mr. Burr, in which that gentleman stated he had reason to believe that she was the daughter of the writer of several letters which he had enclosed, and the original of a portrait which accompanied them.— He requested her to examine the letters and portrait, and if his surmises were correct desired that she would bring with her to his office, such lettora, papers, and other proofs of the fact a« ahe might have in her pon8esnion, belon^ing to her mother, father or herself, and if these proved satisfactory.' he would place herin possession of certain—information which would"b~*T" greatly to her advantage. She then examined the letters, and portrait, and was astonished to find the former written by her mother, and the latter a photograph of herself taken when she was about eiylit years of ag«. She easily recalled the circumstances under which her mother left New Hampshire on the death of her father, and a brief search enabled her to find numerous documents—among them a marriage certificate—a proof of her mother's union --with~Mr.-G-leMon; after tho death of her first husband; and an old Bible which her uncle Jonathan Osborn, had given to her mother many years before, on the fly leaf of which was written: "To my sister Annabel, from her affectionate brother, Jonathan Osborn e.# These things eha carefully packed up, and with them went to the office of lawyer Burr. She found Sam alone and disengaged. "I hare acted on your instructions, Mr. Burr, and have brought a number of letters and other papers, together with thia Bible which will show satisfactorily, I think that the letters that you intrusted to me were written by my mother, and that the picture is the portrait of myself, taken many years ago.* With that she passed her papers into the hands of the lawyer, who began to examine them with considerable eagerness. In a few minutes he had completed hia inspection of the documents—and then laying his hand on the old family Bible he •aid: "This alone satisfies me that you are the person we are in search of.

Barbara had listened to the lawyer with varied emotions—but when he congratulated her on her good fortune, and ispoke of the happy change, the poor girl fburst into tears. She could not help it. : "Happy, Mr. Burr!" she exclaimed in a heart-broken voice—"on this whole earth, there is not a more miserable creature than I am!. Wealth cannot bring back to me what I have lost! "Ah, you do not know—you do not know—there is no more happiness for **e*r And she bowed her head in her hands and sobbed with overpowing grief.

"And what may that bet" ~ "Dishonor! Dishonor, sir!" and she sank back in her seat, und again buried her face in her hands. "Has Phillip Blake deserted you 1"— asked the young lawyer in a cool slow tone. Had a cannon been fired close to her ear she could not have started more suddenly. "Phillip Blake—Phillip Blake! What do you know of Phillip Blake J" and bhe turned her black eyes burning1 with astonishment full upon him. "I know that you married him!" "Married him! Ha! ha!" the laugh was short and sharp—"you know nothing of the kind sir—he never married me—the ceremony was false—false as his own black, murderous heart, He betrayed me foully with the assistance of another villain as false aa himself!' "If there is a married woman in this world Barbara, you are one!" "Why do you taunt met What do you mean!" And Barbara arose, moved towards him, and stood wildly gazing down upon hia half-smiling face. "I mean I wa,a there and saw you married!" "You—were—there—and—saw—me— married! Impossible—none were there save the two villains who wrought iny ruin!" "John San born was there and another gentleman." "My God, air, tell me what you mean— you are driving me mad—tell me what you meanl" "I-am a Justice of the Peace, Barbara! It was I who married you, and you are as firmly and legitimately bound as ever your father and mother were. But listen and I will tell you." And Sum went on and told the whole story of the marriage and how it was brought about through the efforts of John Banborn, Dick and himself. When he had concluded, Barbara, for the second time in her life had fainted. When consciousness returned, and Barbara Blake was herself again—anew light shone in her eyes and a happy smile wreathed her still quivering lips as eho 6aid—"God has been good to me—oh how can I ever thank Him—and you and John?" Before the lawyer could answer, the door opened and Mr. Osborn, accompanied by John San born came into the ottice. "Don't let me interrupt you Mr. Burr," cried the former, as he saw a lady sitting* near the desk. -I can call again—Ah—• who—why!" Something- seemed suddenly to have come over Mr. Jonathan Osiborn, hia eyes chanced to alight on the face of Barbara, and he stood spell-bound muttering unintelligently to himself. Sam enjoyed it for a moment, and then said coolly—"Mr. Osborn this lady is your neice, Barbara Blake." "My God, I thought BO!" and the old gentleman flung his hat and cane on the floor, and throwing his arms about the amazed girl kissed her fondly; and then holding her out at arm's length he exclaimed : "You're the very image of your mother, child, and it makes my old heart young again to see you." Barbara could not help loving the honest old man, whose heart overflowed with such kindly affection. He recognized the Bible in an instant, when it was shown to him, though he declared ho wanted no better proof of identification than the fnce of Barbara her- -self. At the young huly'w request the story of her marriage was related to Mr. Osborn, who at first was terribly indignant, but finally swore that he was satisfied with the result; saying it was well that it ended so, as a life led with such a villain. as Blake would be one of torture and sorrow indeed. "Barbara, can you not tell mo the name of the man whom you saw in conversation with Mrs. Vickory J" . — "1 cdiC—said the girl blowly ; an id then, with a i>eculiar sadness*iii her large dar-k eyes, she turned away saying-:, "iJut you Will not ask me!" When they had' left the office, Burr turned to John Sanltoni saying: "John I know the man who was in league with the woman Vickory." "Who is ha?" ••Phillip Blake, alias Walter DiHon, for that is his righ t name!" "How did you learn it?" asked Sanborn. "Tom Arkright informed me of the particulars yesterday as he learned them from his wife, Gertrude—for they were married yesterday at Bellville Park—it was a simple ceremony, and none but the family was present. "Myself and Madge will be married on Sunday, Sam, and that is the reason why I have called here—to ask you to be present." "I will, old boy, and I most heartily congratulate you. I hear that Madge was one of Mrs. Arkright's bridesmaid's —is that t>n?" "Yep, you know that Madeline was formerly waiting-maid for Miss Weldon—or rather Kate Dillon at "Windemere, aud she was discharged to give place to the poisoner, Markhatn."

THK KND, A BARGAIN IN CRABS. How Dr. Tunipkiun, or Penn Yttn, Made- m Good Thing in Bans Bait. "I like to do a little black bass fishing cow aud then.1' said Dr. Tompkins, of Penn Yan, "but Vm not one of those enthusiastic people who can't get along without it. The other day, though, a friend of mine came in with a fine catch of bass, aud the sight of thum rather pul me in the humor of goinsr out aud getting a lot myself." " 'What did vou catch 'enj withP' I asked my friend. " 'Crabs,1 he said. "We call crawfish crabs in Penn Yan. I had heard that crabs were good bait for black bass, and thinking that I might get some fun out of them as well as anybody else, I went over to Lake Ketiku outlet to gather some for bait. I banged around in the creek •for three hours, turning up fitones and slopping about in the water knee deep, anu succeeded in capturing live little crabs. "Well,' I said to myself, 'that isn't a very big lot of bait to start on a clay's fishing with, but I guess I won't have any trouble getting two or three nice bass, anyhow.1 "I was about leaving the creek when I met a small boy. He was a Penn Yan small bo\', aud had nerve, and he hailed me familiarly, aud said: " 'Hullo, mister! What you after?' "I told him I was gathering crabs for bait, but that they were powerful scarce. " 'What'll you give mo to get you sorm1?' inquired the small boy. "I thought it would bo a nico thing to have a couple of dozen or so of crabs, for I'd want to be -going "but alter more bass the next day, and knowing what a tough and tedious time I'd hail getting only lire, I thought I'd make it worth the boy's while spending a day tugging and sweating among the stones, aud so I said I'd give him S ceuts apiece for crabs. " 'How many'll I git you?' he asked. " 'Oh, all you can,' I replied, feeling tln\t all he could get would certainly be few enough. _;~; .... .."....:."".'. " 'Alt right!" lie said, and I went up the lake a mile or so with my five crabs to get some bass for my supper. I fished all the rest of the day and never got as much as a bite, lt waa supper time when I pulled for home. " 'The next man that says crabs to me,1 I said to myself, 'it won't go well with.1 "After supper I was sitting in my office, feeling a little soro yet over tny day's fishing, when a knock came to the door. I opened it. and there stood the small boy I had hired to gather crabs for me. 1 had forgotten all about him. "'Hullo, mister!' he said. 'I got aorao!' "Crabs were the very last tiling I was hankering after just then, but of course a bargain was a bargain. " 'All right,' I said. 'Fetch 'em in.1 "The small boy stepped aside, and immediately appeared again accompanied by another small boy. Rich boy lugged in a big tobacco pail. Each pail was tilled with crabs. " 'Circat heavens!" I exclaimed. 'How many have \ on got?' "* 'There's two thousan' mister,' said the snia] 1 boy I had liHrgaiued with.. 'But we'd 'a1 got a lot more if the pails had been bigger.1 i'Xwo thousand crabs! If you'll take the trouble to figure on that you'll find that at 5 cents apiece 2,000 crabs will come to just an even $100, and that was the price per crab I had bound myself to pay.

Amontf the white was a clasa of vagabonds Bcatterd throughout tho colony, a worthless set on which the mulattoes bestowed th« epithet of '-lea petits blancs. " Tho African slave trade waa at its height at thia period. More than 300 vessels left the coast of Africa laden with their human freight in chains; lo.OOO annually perished on the pasea^e; 20,000 yearly found their way into tho slave marts of Saint Domingo. The revolution in France created political disturbances and differences among the whites in the colony. The people of color claimed equal rights with the whites; their claims were rejected, their leaders were arrested, tried, and put to death. They turned to the negroes for aid. These had been quiet witnesses of thia war of caste. They were now wakened by a 8en.°e of their own condition. They joined with the people of color, and insurrection -began on the night of Aug. 21, 1791. Incendiary fires broke out in several plantations in the plains of the north. The negroes, imd'T -the lead of one of their Limber, a fearless giant named Boukmtm, now commenced to plunder and burn indiscriminately. By the 2<ith ono-third of tho plantations in the great plain were in ashes. In a week the whole plain was swept by fire. The desolation and ruin was almost complete from the sea to the mountains. The soil ran with the blood of the unhappy planters and their families. Thus began that series of events and disasters known in history as the •'Horrors of Saint Domingo," events and disasters which resulted in the loss to France of her richest colony and the establishment in lHO-i of the free black government of Hayti. NAMING THE BABY. H-ovraucl When t h e I m p o r t a n t ( « r e m u i f IH } T ~ : O m >il Abro:i I, In some countries furious customs prevail in regard to selecting a naind for tlie, baby. A Hindoo baby is named when it is twelve dayri old. and u-ually by tho mother. Sometimes tho father wishes for another name than that selected by the mother; in that ease two lamps are placed ovor the two names, and tho IK)me over which the lamps-burn tho bri^h'tt^t i« the true 'given to thn child. In an Egyptian family the parents choOMi a name for their baby by lighting three wax candles; to each of theso they give a name, ono of tho three always belonging to some deified personage. Tho candle that burns tho longest bestows tho name upon tho baby. The Mohammedans sometimes write desirable names on five blips of paper, and these they place in tho Koran. The name upon the first slip drawn out is given to the child. The childreu of the Ainos, a people living in northern Japan, do not receive their names until they are five years old. It is tho father who then chooses the name by which the child is afterwards called. The Cnineso give their boy babies a name in addition to their surnames, and they must call themselves by these name? until they are twenty years old. At that a^e the father gives his son a new name. Tho Chinese care so little for their girl babies that they do not give them } a baby name, but ju.st call them. Xum- | ber O'f.c. Number T\yjo,JS'um_b<Dr_Threo, | according to their birth.

I shall never forget my first sight of St. Gabrid'b Grange. Some people say that they do not know •when the romance of their lives commenced, that it crept in gradually and interwove Itself all unconsciously to them with the prose of every-day existence—some that their lives have hold no story, have been uneventful and regular throughout, and that not even a thought unconformable to rule has entered into their minds. I, Viola Thorne, had often longed, girllike, for the time when some glimmer of romance should penetrate to my path—for I had fancied romaiieu must be sweet and pleasant; and, suddenly and unlooked for, as my eyes first alighted on St. Gabriel's Grange, the gleam came, falling with the bright moonlight across the carved and pointed rubles, tho square, battlemented central tower, the twisted chimneys, and the great iiuillioned lattice-paned windows. I remember that a white owl was perched on the bare bou^h of one of the trees that darkly overhung tho narrow land along which we drove; it ruse up with a hoot of alarm, and 1 was watching it curiously, when a turn in the road and a gap amid the skeleton branches suddenly revealed the Grunge, my future home. There were souua b!ack fir-trees behind it, and the moonbeams shone out in contrast migration law. All "paupers" are by intensely white and clear on the gray-stone the new law expressly forbidden to land ! pinnacles and bays on which they rested. on American soil, whether they come individually or in Latches as "assisted" emigrants. Ago cuts no figure. Pauper children aro as liable to bocome charges on tho community as pauper adults. THE publio bath houso is one of those temporary expedients which belong to the pre-millenial system of living. Some day, perhaps, the tenement house will be furnished with tho same conveniences and incentives for neatness that are to be found now in all moderately comfortable homo*, but until then the need must be supplied as far and as fast as private or public benevolence can do it The freo bath is not a luxury, although it is froquently regarded in that light. It is a public necessity, and contributes to the health, and, both directly and indirectly, to the morals of those benefitted by i t It is needed and we should have it at tho earliest date that is expedient. We were some distance from the house yet, and we looked across a broad lake, lying part in gloom beneath a rank overgrowth of shrubberVi and part in light, where tho round moon was reflected in the still water In the midst of a faint shadowing of the faraway gables and tower. I could have believed we were passing by only the ghostly semblance of a mansion, looming there against the cloudless sky, and lit up by the spectral moonbeams, and I gazed at it with drawn-in breath and trembling pulses; it looked so lovely, and yet so weird. T H E R E is no excuse for ignorance of poisonous gases in a home. Tho integrity of the pipes can be as easily and as certainly tested as tho leaks in a roof when it rains. By closing the coachman turned round Iris head towards me, and broke the silence for the first time diring^my-five-mile drive. "That i« tho Grange," lie said, pointing with his whip, (ind then turned back to urge on the Imrsf to a. faster pace. Andil looked at the Grange, wonderingly imagining what those mighty walls held for me, Hin I thankinjjin my heart the fate which had led mo to their stately beauty. I was fascinated by Its melancholy andloneliupss, so Btrange to me, and loved it from that hour. My life had been so uneventful and so dull, I longed for something new. 1 was one of eight children, and the odd one, the out-of-place and isolated one one sometimes finds in a large family. My two elder sisters were companions from babyhood; my eldest brother was in business and about to marry his partner's daughter; then I came, and after me two lads of seventeen and fifteen, and two young girls at school, At eighteen it had been proposed that I should quit the home-circle and work for myself; and for more than two years I had done so. 1 had been a governess to half-a-dozen noisy , , . , , , spoilt children for one year, and for nearly pipes and applying sulphur vapor un-! ef§hteen m O n l h s after that I had been chuinder pressure, it will not only find every cd to the side of an old lady and In r poodle imperfection in tho plumbing, but it as a companion. My own home was in a will declare tho exact point of the de- quiet cathedral city. My fect alike by its visible color and by its odor. If it enters the houso anywhere, it at onco exposes tho negligent, incompetent or criminal plumber. This test* or some one equally effective if there w such, should be applied 10 each ho»e at least every spring and fall; and it should bo a part of The plumber's contract to repair for a terra of year* all defects thus-exposed at his own cost, THEKK is dissatisfaction, it is said, among tho temperance reformers of Chicago because the drunkards of that city do not come forward with more alacrity to bo cured by the new remedy, which is being exploited as being absolutely ^safe, sure and permanent. The dissatisfaction is natural, but the lack of enthusiasm on the part of the ' "e s s w "e n V°"KeQ o a lll"5tJ «a u i e s »™»* 1 , tlements and shining casements, and with drunkards cannot be regarded as much less so. The drunkard, as a rule, does n..o t want to be cured, , either t. env , We turned from the enuntry-road up a poranly or permanently, especially broad drive; there was a little cottage at tho the latter. Such may be the desire of entrance, scarcely to be styled a lodge, for his friends—it often is; but he does ' !ts architecture was of the simplest descripnot share in their desire. If he did, there would be far fewer drunkards in the world. It is a very rare occurlion, and the large gate stood open as if it did not receive much attention from its keeper. In the moonlight I saw the house before rence t.h,a.t .th, e- , devot.e e of, t.,h e af low.i ng me, to my right hand, and one window at | t h e s | d e / a c l n " g m e WRs; I n o t i c e d i l i t u p ; i t bowl sincerely wishes to be weaned. ; was a large bsy-window with l<.>w.ng«v&hap-, • • f ed panes, and midway a coat-of-arms in rirh THE child who leaves the primaryrf ' colors shone forth.

But in addition to these it is familiar with woods, their properties and uses, and the tools with which they • are rh'ado useful; with clay or putty or wax in which it has been modeling all sorts of things, thus developing its senses and making it know tho value of faculties for designing things. It can draw as well as write. Tho child who leaves the primary grade in our cities is qualified to become cash boy or cash girl in store*; to do—tluj~kuv.eiii. and least paid work in factories and to be added to tho Dumber of victims in sweaters' dens, GI to run errands. The child who has loft the primnry school on the continent is qualified to In front of the house ran a narrow ' walk some three or four feet higher tit • n the drive, and leading up the bank to i<^ great doorway were broad stone steps with a heavy balustrade, guarded at either ©nd by a stone eagle, the Gaaeoigne badge. I An elderly woman received me in a large half-rlark hall in which hung some burnished armor and gloomy oil-paintings; on each side were doors leading to other parts of the I house—for indeed the hall was as an enclosed court-yard, with a beautiful fretted roof, around three sides of which the mansion was built. i "I will show you to your room, Miss Thorne," said the woman, "if you will follow me. My lady is dressing; but sho will 8ee you when you come down/' She opened the half-n rlas» door farthest from us; laadlng the way into a wide oakpanelled passage and up a broad staircase. | "John and Wilkins will bring up the boxes, and, if there is anything you want, miss, kindly let me know.' _tako up the work of any constructive "Ara you the housekeeper?'

Will able wts. you pleaae to require anything?" govorness-expenenco was gained in a uorlhi.rn manufacturing town, and my last place of residence h&d been a country vilinge. Terraces ami semi-detached villas had been my abode all my life, and 1 WHS sick of them—sick of decorous gossip, of routine and peaceful monotony. The very name of St. Gabriel's Grange attracted mo, for it seemed to hold possibili* ties; to be reader and amanuensis to an old gentlemanvvas at least a"c 11•maa from my previous occupations. The salary was lar^v, the requirements were not very great—merely, that I must read aloud, sii:g, smcl play chess; and, after numerous particulars had been somewhat peremptorily exacted, I was engaged. On this January evening when I fir.it saw the Grange—I had been traveling for four or five hours before—I was met at Norbury Station by the vehicle which was to take me to my destination. It had been a dull, damp day before the moon got up, my journey wa» alow and tedious, and I, well wrapped upthough I was, had grown cold and depressed. But somehow I forgot the weariness when I looked on those gables andbat-a Btrange intensity of interest fell to wonder- Ing what was the story of that house and its inhabitants. I looked round the room. It \rosi largo and comfortably furnished, and ou th« hearth burned u cosy red liro. "There is a little sitting-room beyond." Mrs. Greams explained, crowing the floor and flashing her lamp into the recesses of. the adjoining apartment, "also a small dressing-room." Evidently I was at least well lodged. "Is thero any company'.'" 1 said. "Should 1 dress?" 1 did not know in the least who "my lady" was, for I had understood that Mr. Gascolgno had only a neice living with him. "No, miss," she answered, smiling a little, "there's no company. The ladies are going out to-n\ght; but they'will be glad for you to join them at tea In the drawing-room before they go. The master likes to nee a pretty dress, but you won't need to dress for company much." The two men, with noisy feet, brought up ray trunks, and then they went away, and Mrs. Greains rustled after them down tho corridor. I threw off my heavy traveling-dress and drew out the first dress which came to hand at the top of my box—a dark blue cloth, with deep white lace nifties at neck and wrists. To make it brighter, 1 put on a pretty silver brooch and necklet which Lady Fenwick had given me as a parting gift, and then set the candle in front of the long swm^-glass, and looked to see what sort of an impression I was likely to make on my new employer. I saw a pale face, with dark gray eyes, straight eyebrows, and thick hair in a closeknotted coil; and I was forced to acknowledge that the presentment was not striking or imposing. 1 hoped that the long sweeping train of my dress would add dignity to my small figure, and that Mr. Gaseoigne had not been misled by the photograph he had seen into the supposition that I was utterly different, and on the (strength of that belief engaged me. Then I made my way somewhat hesitatingly down the stairs, at the foot of which a maid-servant took pity on my wandering steps, and conducted me back into the preat hall and to a room into which one of the side-doors led. With a start of surprise I looked round me. Surely I had been transplanted into another region. For this room, long and low though it was, was brightly lit and brightly furnish d. There was a satin paper on the walls, a gold ami pale green dado, and a number of modern water-color paintings; tnere were pretty fancy tables and low satin chairs, crewel-embroidered curtains across the windows, a Japanese screen, a glUterina live-o'clock tea-service on a gipsj-stand, and a grand piano, open, with one of Sullivan's sougs upon it. "My lady," it would seem, did not love ancient ways and conditions, but strove with much success to make her special room cheerfully and elegantly fashionable. It ' had a pleasant tempting appearance, with its soft bright colors and gleaming lamps, its tea-cups and blazing Are. A novel of Mudie's lay opon*on an ottoman; anti-macassars worked iu Intricate crewels adorned the couch. But to me the old-world flavor ami quaint antiquity of the Grange had revealed a new phase of existence; I had been fascinated by the battlements and gables without, tho dark wood and dim corridors within; and now wonder and disappointment fell upon mo as I saw tho sunflower curtains, tho Birket 1'os'tiT paintings, and the Hroadwood grand. They juried, they were -out of all accord witli St. Gabriel's Grange and tho pictures I had drawn of its inhabitants. No OHO had eunui down except myself, a!« though the Dresden clock on the. mantelpiece had-just si ruck half-past six in silvery tones; but, us lsto.nl on the Huffy white hcarth-rus;, hulding out my hands to tho warm blaze, the dour wasup.Mied, and three ladies cam;; in. They were all y<-uiu and all beautiful, with tail figures and f.dr proud faces. One of them, who avi'f-ared to Iw t>lKnit tw^Hty-- live or t\venty->ix, wore a dark crimson patin dress dr.ipod with black lace; the other two were in \\ hitc cashmere stylishly trimmed with black velvet, and having square-cut bodies and puffed sleeves. The wearer of tho crimson gown advanced to me and held out her hand, "I hope you have found thing3 prepared for you, Miss Thorno," she said. "I am Mr. Gascoigne's niece, Lady Martin Pomeroy; my sisters, Miss Farquhar and Miss Annie Farquhar. It is unfortunate that we are gi4ng out to-night, your first evening here; but I do not suppose that my uncle will allow us much of your company." The words were civil enough; the tone was so carelpss as to be slightly scornful. "I suppose Miss Thorne is aware that sho is Mr. Gaseoigne's companion, not ours/' said Miss Farquhar coldly. "He does not usually give his companions much holiday," remarked Lady Martin, with a short laugh. "It is possible yon may find it dull at the Grange, Miss Thnrne." "Shall I make the tea, Gwendoline?" broke in Miss Farquhar, a little Impatient- Her sister did not answer, but pourr>rt utit the fragrant beverage into the tiny cups from the Japanese tea-pot, displaying as sho did so the curve of a round white arm. The youngest "guT handed a cup to mo, ami, witli « }>le«i>ii:it suiile^ said, in a quick low voice "You must be tired and cold after your long journey. The tea will refresh you; but we arc giving \ ou not Inn? mo re because my uncle will expect you to dine witli him at iialf'-pas-t seven.'1 "Mr. Gaseoijne will exprct you to do the same every evening,"' said Lady Martin Pomeroy. '"You will breakfast with us or by yourself, and lunch at one. In the afternoon you will read to him, and, after I n hour here for ton, will devote your evenings to him." "Has Miss Thorne not been out as companion before'.'" asked Miss Farquhar, raising her eyebrows as though she would intimate that I ought to know very well what was expected of me. "Every household is not conducted on the Banie principles as ours/' answered Lady Martin. —— "I)r> you not then spoild tho cveninrs, with Mr. Gaseoigne?" I ventured to ask her. "Does he not dine with you?" "Not often," she said. "He goes his way, we go ours. Do you think tbjs room is like what you have seen of the rest of the Grange?" "Noi in the least," 1 answered, "Very well; this Is where we live, except when we e»n spend our evenlugg at Norbury.'' "You know, do "that our uncle i: you not," asked Annis, an invalid, that he is lame? He keeps to his rooms a great deal, ; and, as he is uot in good health, he does not j care to go out into society. Hut he does not wish us to remain at-home with him; we go out by his order." 1 Her tone was almost apologetic, aa if she tvanted to explain what I might consider- Btrange in their conduct.' ( ' I "Yes," said Lady Martlrl Pomeroy, curving her lip scornfully, "he'generally prefers the society of his secretaries to oura. You play chess, I presume, Miss .ThorueV" she asked abruptly. ft, "It Is one of the requirements Mr. Gascoigne named," 1 said. "I have played occasionally." "Ho you like It'1"' "Fairly well, compared, that is, with other games, and not with reading or singing." "You will get plenty of experience in it here. As to reading, does it make no difference what you read, or have you an equal love for the Time* ami the Edinburgh Review, Guy Livingstone and JulinllalifaxF* "1 should prefer the licvieiv and John Halifax." "To be sure—you are a clergyman's daughter; I had forgotten," she said, still with the lingering scorn. "Are you? I did not know that," Annis broke in hurriedly. "My uncle has told us so little of you, Indeed it took us quite by surprise to hear that yqa. were coming. Uncle James Is vurv reticent; he does not consult us much. It is not as though we were his daughters, you see, or had lived with him very long; and he has got into the habit, I think, of telling every one no more than Is necessary." "You might as well tclI.Miss Thorne candidly," said Lady Martin, "that we had not the most remote idea that she was engaged until this morning, when the housekeeper was allowed to inform us." "Which accounts for us leavin? you tonight," added Annla. "We could not put off our engagement And we shall be away all night; so you will have a lonely breakfast." "I am used to a good deal of loneliness," I said. "I expected to find the Grange much duller, fur Mr. Gascoigne told me that it was live nu'les from a railway-station, that he was an invalid, and one lady, a niece, only was mentioned to me." "It is fortunate you were prepared," said Lady Martin. "When you have been hero a week, you will lind you were mistaken in thinking you had imagined it duller. But you have the remedy in your own hands— you can leave as soon as you please." I did not reply, and a silence fell upon us. I drank my tea slowly and cat the wafer of bread-and-butter vouchsafed ma aftur my journey, and turned my eyes from one to the other of the three women. At first I had thought them all much alike, for each had a,pink-and-\vhite skin, smooth fair hair, and straight small features. Now I saw that there wero points of contrast as well as of likeness. The eldest, Gwendoline, Lady Martin Pomeroy, appeared to me tho handsomest. Her hair had gleams of red which gave it a warm golden hue, li:r color was brighter, and her eyes were of a shifting greenish hazel, while those of her sjsters were blue. The short upper lip seemed to have a confirmed curl of contempt; but the eyes wera pajOT and even passionate in their quick flashing glances. Her eyebrows were well marked, and her hair, growing low on her white forehead, was thrown back plainly and fastened in a careless twist low on her neck. There was a costly necklet about her throat, and there were jewelled rings on her ]onp slim tingi rs, besides the plain wedd'n^ circlet, which brought to my mind a momentary curiosity as to Lord Martin, her husband. Next 1 furtively studied the. outward appearance of Miss Farquhar, who had maintained perfect silence, and read Lnthair calmly while sho sipped her tea, as; jf^no other person were in the, room. Some people considered her by fur the most beautiful ol the three sisters but 1 never understood the preference. To me, she was as a waxen euigy, compared with the living, speaking charms of fl^sh and blood. II T face, with its delicately-chiselled outline, was cold, proud, faultless. The lar^e blue eyes, unfaltering in their steady gaze, wero clear and bright as sapphires, and as hard. The pencilled eyebrows wero finely arched, the nose was straight and Grecian, the upper lip haughtily curved, the lines of cheek and throat and arm were almost perfect. The classic shape of her small head was displayed by the rippling pale yellow hair which was plaited in a small coil; her figure was tall and queenly. But the third, Annis, in missing the per« fection of her sister, pained acharin she would always lack. Rougher hair, in waving irregular curls on her forehead, a softer gleam, almost of timidity, in the eyes, a dimpled chin, and a pouting under lip Imparted a lovableness that was to me more pleasant t;> look upon than all tho exquisite beauty of Miss Farquhar. - — There was a striking resemblance between thg three; but I said in my heart that their natures were as differing as the splendors of. opal and diamond and pearl. Afterwards I learned the truth of the !nstmrts of • that firat night. Scarcely could three women, linked by birth, education, and companionship, contrast more completely; and the opal, with Its heart of flame, the cold brilliance of the diamond, and tho soft purity of the pearl hut imaged the glowing intensity of their 1mman prototypes, TO BE CONTINUED.

The doctors told me it was chronic. I had a fullness after eating and a heavy load in the pit of my stomach. I suffered frequently from a Water Brash of clear matter. Sometimes a deathly Sickness at the Stomach would overtake me. Then again I would have the terrible pains of Wind Colic. At such times I would try to belch and could not. I was working then for Thomas McHenry, Druggist, Cor. Irwin and Western A ve., Allegheny City, Pa., in whose employ I had been for seven years. Finally I used August Flower, and after using just one bottle for two weeks, was entirely relieved of all the trouble. I can now eat things I dared not touch before.

The Guanches, the Inhabitants of the Canary islands, aro said to bo the remnants of the ancient race, says tho Cornhill Magazine, who 10,000 years ago, peopled iha drowned continent of Atlantla. They are reported to have been strong Aid handsome, and of extraordinary agility of movement, of remarkable courage and of loyal disposition; but they showed the credulity of children arid tho biinple directueaa of shepherds. So tall were they that the Spaniards'speak of them as giants, and their strength and endurance were bo grunt that they were conquered by stratagem, but not force. They ran aa fust a* horses, and could leap over a pole held between two men live or six feet high; they could olixnb the highest mountains aud jump the deepest ravines. Their endurance as swimmers was so great that they were accustomed to bwim across the nine mile strait between the Lancerote and Graciosa; having no boats, their method of fishing was to strike the fish with sticks or catch thorn in their hands while swimming. Their skulla which are preserved in the museums of the island, and* of which I took photographs, show marked cerebral development, the frontal and parietal bonos being well developed and the facial angle good. In the early days of the conquest, before rapine and murder had done their vile work, the Guanches are spokon of as being musical and fond of d.incing and singing. Though so Btrong physically, the Guanches wero nevertheless a very gentle race; they rarely made war on 6ne another, and when the Europeans fell into their hands they did not kill them, but sent them to tend sheep in the mountains. So tame were the birds in this happy land that when the Spaniards lirat landed they came and fed out of their hands. To\kill an animal degraded a man; the 'butcher was a I reprieved criminal and an ouicust, and lived apart, he and his assistants boin<< supported by the state. No woman was allowed to approach the shambles, and in such horror was killing held by these gentle giants that no man could be ennobled until ho had publicly declared that ho had not been guilty of killing any animal, not ever a goat. Their standard of morality was high; they were monogamists, and adultery was punished by imprisonment and death; robbery was almost unknown among them. ai>d drunkenness not yet invented.

For a XVHV or two past the Ljrain and ore carriers of the Clreat Lakes have been employing in constantly increasing numbers a new form of bar^e, called the "whaleback," a" wholly new model of freiyhtingcraft, and it has been found advartageous to use the same model for the propelling steamer as well as for thetowed barges. The "whale- >acks" are built of steel, with a sort of rounding "cover,"' or back, which enables them, to carry a great deal more freight, and also makes them look, as Hamlet's courtier said, "very like a whale." They are the invention of Captain Alexender McDougall, of Puluth, and are built at -West Superior, opposite Duluth, at the head of Lake Superior. They possess the following advantages: They have, of all vessels ever built, by far the largest carrying capacity for least cost of construction ; the greatest strength and s 'curity with the greatest ease and economy of operation; the greatest speed with the smallest quantity of coal. It has been observed for some time tliat these "wlmlebacks" would revolutionize the carrying trade of the urent lakes, especially as regards the heavy items of traiHc, snch as ore, coal, grain, Hour, lumber, and salt, and now they propose to enter the ocean trade. The whalebacks will be built in increasing numbers at West Superior, by the -Aftieri- \mi ]mny, from MichiganFarmer — 19 A — BUSINESS PAPERJOR FARMERS!

A Santiago, Chili, correspondent says it Is officially stated that tue government has given an intimation that it will soon issue u sufe conduct to those ijersous who have taken refuge in the American and Spanish, legations. The government has recognised the right of asylum in a letter to Mr. Egau, the United Statea minister. The Spanish minister is acting iu conjunction with Mr. Egau. The sailor on the United States steamer Baltimore, who was killed by Chilian sailors in a street brawl a few days ago, was buried at Valparaiso. There was no hostile demonstration of any kind. An armed iorce of Americans from the steamer Baltimore were landed and they atteuded the funeral uumolested. Another of the Baltimore's sailors, who was cruelly wounded in tho same tight, will probably die of his wounds. Captain Scaley, of the steamer Baltimore, and the local authorities of Valparaiso are investigating as to the cause of the trouble. It has already been ascertained that the Chilian mob made the attack on the Americans, and that the onslaught was a peculiar one. The Chilians were all armed with knives and pistols, whereas the Americans had few weapons and were slow in using them. I h e Chilian boatmen and others about the water front are still showing a bitter and relentless feeling toward Americans aud making all manner of threats. The better class of Chilians condemn the brutal attack and the authorities hope the country may escape the odium that a.'iaes from such lawless scenes. Ascended .lit. *t Elian.

In a very interv->tin# article recently published by the Popular S^ionro Monthly on the "Directive Faculty in Brutes," the foray of a ti'ibe of monkeys on a field of corn is described. When they yet ready to...*iart on their* expedition an old monkey, the lender of the -tribe, -with ?>. staff in his )i:<ml. so as it) stand upright more en>ily, marches ahead on two U'L,rs. thus beinig mofi* elevated thnn the others, >o as lo ^-'e siyns of danger more readily. Tinrest follow him on all fours. The leader advances slowly and cautions'y, earefully reconnoiteidn^ in all diivt> tioiirs till tlu; party arrive at the eor-ulield. He then as>ixT«s the. sentinels to their respective posts. All bein^ now in readiness, the rest of thfl tribe ravage and cat to their heart's content. When they retire eaeh one carries two or three ears of corn along1, and from this . provision the sentinels are regaled on their arrival at their lair. Here wo see :ibility to rule and. a willingness to submit to rule; u. thoughtful preparation of means to the end in view and areeogriition of the rifhta of the sentinels to bo suitably rewarded at tho elose of the esnedition. Wherein does all this differ frcm a similar foray of a tribe of savage men? The only difference that really exists is in decree; otherwise it is much tha same. H U N T E D WITH B L O O D H O U N D S . He is Xot a Ferocious Animal, But Will Not Let HI* Mun (Jo. The popular belief that bioodhoun ?-• are ferocious is uiw of the most un- ! warranted errors, says thy Post-Dispatch, tjuch is far from beintf the fase. liloodhounds sueh HH those which will bo employed to trace the outlaw and such aa are to-day used in tho convict camps and prisons in many parts of the country have non-• of tho ferocity j/eneraliy asci'ibed to them. '< 'J'heii1 reputation for savageries* is durived from what is known as the. Cuban bloodhound of slaw huutuiy noto- ' riety, but which is in reality no bloodhound at all. The Cuban bloodhound was produced by a cross between a mastilt" and a [jointer, and was introduced into Spanish America by tho early sett ers. Their enip'oyrnent in hunting Indians and slaves increased their naturally belligerent temper, until in time they became the most dangerous of i the canine- kind. These animals have only the name in common with thu British bloodhound, which is a far finer animal. It has tho characteristics of the sagacious and swift-footed doj^s, while the Cuban animal possesses those of the swift-footed and pugnacious. When placed on tho trail of a man tho bloodhound will stick to it under circumstances of almost incredible dittieulty, but when. tho quarry is run down will not attempt to attack, but will £,rIve tonguo until the hunters arrive. The fact that these doys were put on tho trail of tho Whitechapel murderer in thtj most thickly populated section of tha east end of London, and that they at- ] tacked no one, should prove to all thofl j they are not the ferocious brutes that ' they are- commonly supposed to be. I The following- description applies to the true bloodhound, and it will bo seen that there are few points of likeness to his Cuban namesake: The j head is the chief characteristic of tho breed, the skull is v^r/ Ion:/, often as much as eleven inches in length, narrow, and very much peaked. Tho muz/le is deep and square, the ears .loilAI.. very thin, .pendulous and set ; verv low, hunj_TiriiZ close to the faco i and curh'i,]^ upon themselves. The • eyes are ha/el in color, deep set and ; with triangular lids. The neck is lonir with a yreut quantity of looso skin forming the dewlap. The do^'s are from twenty-five to twenty-seven inches in height at the shoulder. Tho] color is usually black and tan. but [ '•onto aniiTials are ilecked with white • :m th" >nick. <2riviny them the appearmce of having been out in a bnow- Morm.

"With fierce double leads ami two columns of space, trie strong tory organ of Canada— the Toronto Empire—bewails the conditions existing between the United States and the Dominion by which this country is so much better off. Canada'w debt per capita of her population is over $50, while that of the United States per capita is under $13. The Empire does not see in these facts anythiugparticularly detrimental to Canada, though it expresses a desire and a hope that things will be better in the future. It is a fact that Canada is being every year sapped to its very vitals by substaining nn enormou^ expensive, government, keeping up more machinery for the Province than is necessary in the whole United States. Popular government in Canada is more or less, as it always has been, in a dependency of England, farcical. What Canada really needs for a betterment of her condition is an elimination of much of the "one man power," which is in vogue, and in addition to the franchise which will give the people direct control of her public affairs and not leave them in the hands of the gang of soulless schemers and plotters. This can never come while she is dependent upon the English government to any extent. Independence will give her these results and nothing else'—Toledo Blade. Explosive Paper, A gentleman in town this week, says the Mt. Clemens Monitor,, had a piece of yellow paper in his hands. It was a very innocent little piece of paper, burned freely when ignited, and was handled carelessly, apparently without thought of harm. The gentleman rolled up a pellet about the size of a pea, jammed it into a blank catridge, and put the catridge into a pistol. He pointed the weapon at a box and pulled the trigger. The,re was n sharp click, a_ slight puff of vapor, and then it was discovered that the bullet had issued from the pistol, penetrated about an inch of w"ood and gone further. The innocent paper was gelbite, one of the most powerful high explosives known, fifty per cent stronger than dynamite. Gelbite is paper saturated with emmensite, and emmensite is the invention of Dr. Stephen H. Emmons, of Pittsburgh. This tremendous explosive has received the cordial indorsement of the United States Government, and was in use during the Chilean war. It is made of nitrated carbolic acid, nitrate of soda and nitrate of ammonia, and is classed among noiseless, smokeless powders. Aerial Savtjratton. Hiram S. Maxim has written an article on this subject in the Century, from which the following is an extract: Of course I hope to succeed, and from the data obtained from the forgoing experiments, and from the information I have obtained from other sources, it seems almost certain that I shall do so; still I may not It may, however, be remarked that for many years engineers and scientists have admitted that the navigation of the air is certain to come so soon as a motor could be discovered which had sufficient energy in proportion to its weight. This motor has been found, its power has been tested, and its weight is known. It would therefore appear that we are within measurable distance of a successful machine for navigating the air, and I believe it is certain to come within the next ten years whether I succeed or not. Many ask what use it will be put to in case it does succeed. To this I would reply. Certainly not for carrying freight, and not for a considerable time at least, for carry ing passengers. "When the first flying machine succeeds, its first great use will be for military purposes. It will at once become, an engine of war, not only to reconuoiter the enemy's positions, as has been attempted with the so-called dirigible balloons, but also for carrying and dropping into the enemy's lines and country large bombs charged with high explosives. It does not require a prophet to forsee that successful machines of this character would at once make it possible for a nation possessing them to paralyze completely an enemy by destroying in a few honrs the important bridges, armories, arsenals, gas and water-works, I railway stations, public buildings, etc., and that all themodernmeans of defense both by land and sea which have cost untold millions would at once be rendered worthless. Of course this mode of warfare wouUl not do away completely with all forms of small fire arras, which would still have to be used iu order to enable these future engines of war to combat one another ; cut it is-safe to assert -that none but small and light guns would be used. Flying machines of the future will of necessary be of a complicated and delitate nature, and will require the very highest construct and operate them. France is today the only country in the world which has the plant and in which it would be possible to manufacture all the material and to constnict a machine such as I am new experimenting with. Flying machines will therefore be employed only by the rich and highly civilized nations. Small nations and half civilized tribes will still have to content themselves with their present mode of warfare. m >m> m • 15 AGENTS W A I T E D . — W e want everywhere to sell OUR LITTLE NIGGER.* The funniest and uaost laughable trick out. $10 a day ean be made selling them.

HUMBUGGING^ FARMER, In many places, Peddlers with fancy teams are going from house to house trying to sell the farmers a "four-hole Wrought Steel range" for $08 or 803, according to terms. Many persons are being taken in by these fictitious prices. If parties desiring to purchase a FIRST CLASS STEEL RANGE will inquire of the stove dealer nearest them alxout the Superb Wrought Steel range, manufactured and sold by home dealers, tluy will be surprised to discover that they can buy a much larger one with SIX holes on top for MUCH LESS MONEY These stoves are first-class in every respect. The Sheet Steel is extra heavy. The ends are tripple thickness, two of heavy Steel and one of Asbestos between the two steel plates. The oven doors are ballanced and one style has the celebrated "automatic door opener and closer," by the use of which it is unnecessary to use the hand in opening and closing the door, as it is opened by a simple movement of the foot Don't pay extravagant prices for goods when you can get a better article for.less money. — Don't 4et—any visiting—peddler mannage so as to break the stove you already have. Dont be deceived by any breakage test, but try them with ordinary fire use for thirty days before signing any note. Where will your note be placed by a peddler after you have signed it? Where will the peddler be when you want your range repaired? Is not our guarantee better than one made by a peddler that yon may not be able to find when wanted? We sell the Steel ranges, and you can always find us. Truly Yours, Teeple & Cadwell. A good stock of Breech Loading Guns. Guns to rent by the day. Shells loaded to order.

JIKOOKI.YX, Oct. 18.—At the Brooklyn tabernacle this morning Dr. Talrnage'a was the first of a series lie in- >reuehing on his eastern tour, "What- 1 suw in Kgypt und lireeee confirmatory of ihe scriptures." His text WUB Isaiah l'J: t'J, lM\ "In that day shall theru be an altar to the Lord iu the midst of the land of Eyypt and a pillar at the border thereof to the Lord. Audit bhall be for a sigu uud lor a witness." Isaiah no doubt nere refers to the great pyramid at tii/eh, the chief pyramid of hgypt. The text speaks of a pillar in Kgypt, and this is the greatest pillar ever lit'te i; and tho text says it is to be at the bonier of the, laud, und this pyramid is at the bonier of the land; ami tho text says it shall tie for a witness, and the objeet of this sermon is vo tell wUat this pyramid witnesses. We had, on a morning of December, lf>S9, landed ii» Africa. Amid the howling boaiini'ii at Alexandria \v« had come ush< IC uud taken the railtrain for i a.ro, Kgypt, along the banks of the most thoroughly harnessed river of all the world—the river Nile. We had, at even-tide, entered the city of Cairo, the city where Christ d'welt win e staying iu Kgypt during the Ilerodie persecution. It was our tirst night in Kgyct. J-!ut how cun 1 describe the thrill of expectation, for tvday wo are to see what all the world has seen or wants to see—the pyramids. We are mounted for an hour "and a half's ride. Thouyh there ure sixty-nine pyramids still standing, the pyramid of liizeh is the monarch erf pyramids, We stand under the shadow of a structure that shuts out all t'lie earth and all the sky and we look up and strain our vision to appreciate the distant top, nndare overwhelmed while we cry "The pyramid! The pyramid!" l o u r thousand years old at least. 1 hud started that morning with the determination of aseendijng the pyra-- One of my chief objects in going to Kgypt was not only to see the ba.se of that granitic wonder, but to stand on tin' top of it. Yet the nearer 1 came t>» this eternity in stone the more oritiinatK'U was sh ken. Us in me was simply appalling. .. it has always" been to me ...,.igreeablc. sensation. As we ed at the base of tho pyramid, "Uthers may go but not I. I will myself with :i view from the base. The as* cut of it would be to :..-_...:— m e a foolhardy undertaking." Hut idea- of govern- after I had given up all idea of ascending, I found my daughter was determined'to go, and 1 e uld not let her go %\ ilh strangers, and 1 changed my mind and we sturted with guides. It cannot be done without these helpers. Two or three time* foolhardy men have attempted it alone, but their bodies eame tumbling down unrecognizable and lifeless. Kuch person in our party had two or three truides or helpers. One. of them unrolled his turban and tied it around my waist and he held the other end of the turban as a matter of s;ifety. Many of llie blocks . of. stuue are four or live feet high ;uul beyond any ordinary human stride unless assisted. But, two Arabs to pull and two Arabs to push, I found myself rapidly ascending from height to height, ami on, to altitudes terrific-, and av last at the tip top wo found ourselves on a leve. space of about thirty feet square. Through clearest atmosphere we looked off upon the desert, and. off upon the winding Nile, and off upon the Sphinx with its features of everlasting stone, and yonder upon the minarets of-( airo glittering in the sun, and yonder upon Memphis in ruins, and o'.t' \non the wreck of empires and the battle-fields of ages, n radius of view enough to till the mind and shock tht- nerves and overwhelm one's entire thoroughly an instrua rubber- A gre;< a imiv. ., dismount lii.d 1 up it. satisfy THERE is in England an association of women to promote window gardening among the poor. It is a far worthier and mores substantial way of helping them thatr-sending- ctrt-ftowunr to their bedsides. The living plant is & hope-giver. The cut flower is the most melancholy token of death. The ari&tocracy of London have been generous in extending gardening outside their private grounds, and tho fflth and smut of the great, 9teaming town are sensibly relieved in even the, most dejected parts by pretty boxes in windows, by shrubbery along tho walks, by beds of flowers wherever room oan be made and by rows of pots on roofs and in littlo dirty crannies of walls. England is everywhere a garden; tho fact is of moment because it represents industry and demonstrates that even unpromising1 eoil and uncongenial air can bo made to bloom. Taeitu.s •aid that everything except tho olivo and vine could grow in England. Little, however, grow until it became a general custom to make and to cherish little house gardens as well ae g palaoe ones. Alter looking around for awhile, and a kodaek had pictured The group, we descended. The descent was more trying than the ascent, for climbing you need not see Via denths beneath, but coming down it was impossible not to see the abvsins below. 15ut two Arabs ahead to help us down, and two Arabs to hold us back, we were lowered, hand below hand, until the ground was invitingly near, and amid the jargon of the Arabs we we-ro safely landed. Then came one of the most wonderful feats of d.irrngand agility. The structure is 450 feet high, higher than the cathedral* of Cologne, Strasburg, Houeu, St. l'eter's, and St. l'ttul's. No surprise to me that it was put at the head of the teveu wonder* of the world. ! I wonder not that this mountain of i limestone tend red granite has been the fascination of seholars,of scientists, i of intelligent Christians in all ages. ] Well, of what is this Cyclopean masonry H. sign aud a witness'.' Among other things: of the prolongation of human work com pared with the brevity of human life. Iu nil the 4,uno years this Pyramid has only lost eighteen feet iu width, oue side of its hquare at the base changed only 1'rom Uii feet to 74ii feet aud the most ot that eighteen feel taken oft" by architects to furnish stone for building in the city of Cairo. The men who constructed the Pyramid worked at it only a few years and then put down the trowel and the compass und the square and lowered the derrick which had lifted tho ponderous weights; but forty centuries have their work stood und it will be good for forty centuries more. All Kgypt bus beeu shaken iu terrible .earthquakes and cities have been prc^vfutcd or swallowed, but that I'yramiu" has defied all volcanic paroxysms. It has looked upon some of the greatest'bat ties ever fought since the world stood. Where are tho men who ouilt it1.1 Their bodies gone to dust ami eves* the dust scattered. Kveu the sarcophagus in which the king's mummy may ha-ve slept is empty. So men die but their work lives on. We are building pyramids not to last four thousand years, but forty thousand, forty million, forty trillion, forty quadrillion, forty quintillion. For a while we wield the trowel or pound with the hammer or measure with the yard-stick or write with tho pen, or experiment with thc'scientilie battery, | or plan with the brain, and fora while the foot walks and the eye sees, and the ear hears and the tongue speaks. ; All the good -words or bad words we speak are spread . ut into one layer for a pyramid. All *il>e kind deeds or malevolent deeds we do are spread out into another layer. All the Christian or unchristian example we set issprea. I out in another layer. All the indirect influence •> of our lives are spread out in1 smother layer-. Then the time soon comes when we put down the implement of toil and p;ss but the pyramid stands. Y^bur business and mine is, build, a pyramid but to be one hundreds of thousands who shall ring a trowel, or pull a rope or turn a crank of a derrick, or cry "\ o heave!" while lifting another bl< etc to its elevation. Though it bo seemingly a small work and a brief work, it is a work that hist forever. In the last <lav a man and woman whose has never been reengni/e-l on will come to a special honor. awn;\ n-t to of the shall many work earth One of the Arabs solicited a oollar, saying he would run up aud down tue pyramids in seven minutes. .We-would rather have given him a dol'ar not to go, but this ascent and descent in seven minutes Vie was determined cm and so by the Wiitch in seve-i minutes he went to tlie top and was back again at the ba.se. What an antiquity1. It was at least 2.000 years old when the baby Chri>t was carried within sight of it by his fugitive! parents, .hvepli and Mary. The storms of forty centuries have drenched. Ixijrnban ed it, shadowed it. flashed upon it, lmt there it stands ready to take another forty centuries ol atmospheric attack if the world should continue to exist. The oldest buildings of the earth are juniors to this great senior of the centu.ies. Herodotus says that U r ten years preparations were being made for the building of this pyramid. It has H'J, II 1,000 cubic ft Pt of masonry. CTK! hundred thousand workmen at one. time toiled in its erection. To bring the stone from the quarries a causeway '.() 1eet wide WHS built. The top Btones were liltedby machinery such as the world knows nothing of to-day. It is T4G ic t each side of the base. • The Keiiineiiiea! council, now n session at Washiiigioti. its delegates the honored representatives of titty million Methodi ts iu ail parts of the earth, will at every session do honor to the memory of John Wesley, but 1 wonder if any of them will think to twist a garland for the memory of hum: le ivter IJnnler. the Moravian, who brought John Wesley into the Kingdon of Hod, 1 rejoice that all the thousands who havo been toiling on the pyramid of righteousness will at last be recognized and rewarded— the mother who irought her • children to i hrist, the Sabbath 'school teacher who brought her class to lHts knowledge of the truth, the unprelending man who saved a soul. Then \he trowel will be more honored thatv the sceptre. Further, carrying out the idea of my text, the Pyramid is a sign and a witness that big tombstones ure not the West way of keepings one's self aiiVetionately iemembered. This Pyramid and the sixty-nine other pyramids still standing were built for sepulchres, all thi.-> great pilo of granite and limestone by which we stand to day, to cover the memory of a dead king. It was the great Westminster Abboy of the ancients, lint if,after one is dead,there is nothing left to remind the world of him but some pieces of stone, there l.s b u t little left. Some, of the finest monuments are over people who amounted to nothing while tl.ey lived, while some of the worthiest men and women have not had above them a stone big enough to tell their n a m e Joshua, the greatest warrior ihe world ever saw, no monument Moses, the greatest lawyer ihat. ever lived, no monument; I aul the great.i: t preacher that ever lived, no monument Christ, the Saviour of the world and the rapture of heaven, no monument. A, pyramid over scoundrel y iheops, but only a shingle with a lead pencil epitaph over many a good man's grave. Some of- the "finest, otittuanes" have been prinU'd about Uie'worst rascals. Today at Uruhseiv t. here —i.s a. pyramid.-—uiilowers on the </r;ive of Houianger, the notorious libeitine.. Yet it Is natural to Want to lie remembered. W hile there seems to be no practical use tor po t mortem consideration later than the tune of ones grea.t yrtindeiiiWlren, yet no one wants to be forgotten as soon as the obsequies are over. This pyramid which Isaiah savs s a sign and a" witness demonstrates that neither limestone nor red granite are competent to keep one uliectiotiately remembered; neither can bnm-e. licit.ier can I'arian marble.; neither can Aberdeen g r a n i t e - d o thu work. lint. there is soine;hing out of which to build an everlasting monument and tir.it will keep one treshly rememlH-rcd four thou.sunil \ears: yea, lor ever and ever. It dues n o t staud in marble yards. I t i.s not to ne purchased at mourning stores. Vet it is to 1 «» tmiml in every neighborhood, plenty of it. inexhaustible quantities of it, It, is the greatest .stulF in the universe to build monuments out of. i rWer to the. memories of those; to win m we can do a kindness, the memories of tho-e whose -truggles v, e may alleviate, the memories ot tiiose whose souls we may save. All around * airo and .Memphis tnere are the remains of pyramid* that have gone down under .the wearing away of time, and this gr> at Pyramid ol which Isaiah in the text speaks wilj vunish if the world lasts long enough; und if the world doea not last, l-ien with the earth's dissolution the Pyramid Will also dissolve, liut the memories of those with whom we associate ure iudcstructuble. They will bt more vivid the other side of the grave thun this side. Iu is possibly for me to du you a good ami for you to do me a good that will be vivid in memory as many years after the world is burned up aa nil the suuds of the seashore und all thelea\eH of the fnvbt and all the gruss blades of me tiehi and nil thu s ar.s of lie oeii added together, and that aggregate multiplied by all the liyures Unit all the book Keepers of all time, ever wrote. That desire to be remembered after wo are gone is u uivmely implanted idea and not to be crushed out, but I implore you, seek something better than the immortalization of rock, or bronze, or book. Put yourself Into t lie eternity of those whom you help for both worlds, th s and the next. During the course of my ministry I have been intimately associated in Christian work with hundreds of j/ood men and women. My memory is hung with tneir portraits more accurate and vivid than anything that Kembnindt e\er put on canvass:—Father (irice, I eWitt ('. Moore, rather Voorhees, K 1'. Hopkins, William Stephens, John \ an liensselaer. (Jasherie Do Witt, Dr. Ward, and hundred., of others, all of them gone out of this life, but 1 hold the memory of them and will hold them forever. They cannot escape from me. 1 will remember them just us they looked on earth, and 1 will'remember many of }rou after the earth has been uu extinct p'anet for ages iniinite. O\\, what stuft the, memory is for monument building! As in Kgypt tttfit December afternoon, lsv.', exhausted iu body, mind and soul, we mounted to return to ». uiro, we took our last look of the i'yra uid at liizeh, Anil you know there is something in the air toward evening that seems productive of solemn and tender emotion, and that great Pyramid seemed 10 be humanized and with lips of stone it seemed to speak ami cry out: "Hear me, man, mortal ami ip:iuio tal! My voice is the voii'c d' (inil, lie designed me. Isaiah .-•aiii 1 would ' c a sign and a witness. 1 saw .vio.-e. when he was a lad. 1 witnessed the long procession of the Israelites as they started to cross t lie h'ed sea and Pharaoh's host in pursuit of them. The falcons and the eagles of many centuries have brushed my brow. 1 stood here when Cleopatra's barge landed with her sorccr'u s.and llypatia for her virtues was shun iu yunder streets. Alexander the (ireat, .Sesostris and Ptolemy admired my proportions. Herodotus and Pliny sounded my praise. I am old, I urn very old, For thousands of years 1 have watched the corning and going of generations. They tarry only a little while,but they make evevkiMing impression. I bear on my side the mark ot the trowel and chisel of those who more than four thousand years ago expired. P.eware what you do. Oh. man', for what you do will last long utter y\m are dead ! If you would be affectionately remetuhered after you are gone, trust not to any earthly commemoration. I have not one word to say atiout any astronomer who studied the heavens from my heights or any king who was sepulchred in my bosom. 1 am slowly passing away.

Those who have not A Throat and Lung Specialty. used Boschee's German Syrup for some severe and chronic trouble of the Throat and Lungs can hardly appreciate what a truly wonderful medicine it is. Th£ delicious sensations of healing, easing, clearing, strength-gathering and recovering are unknown joys. For German Syrup we do not ask easy cases. Sugar aud water may smooth a throat or stop a tickling—fora while. This is as far as the ordinary cough medicine goes. Boschee's German Syrup is a discovery, a great Throat and Lung Specialty. _ \there for years there have been sensitiveness, pain, coughing, spitting, hemorrhage, voice failure, weakness, slipping down hill, where doctors and medicine and advice have been swallowed and followed to the gulf of despair, where there is the sickening conviction that all is over and the end is inevitable, there we "place German Syrup. It cures. _ You are _ a live man yet if you take it. 4» KIDDER'S PASTILLES. - - f ULUX VVARR^Ht Ep Tc N S cA\sgft\ 6Q;FfttlQH ILLINOIS CENTRAL gf« S»jr» Thvrt Is No Snob Thing a* Dried Carrauti, and Telta Why. 1 'Mother wanta a pound of dried currants, " Baid a little girl who came into the learned grocer's store on Eighth avenue, aa reported In the N. Y. SUB. 4-I hain't got a dried current in the store, and there hain't one in the city," replied the grocer. "But I know what you want, and Yvn got 'em." The learned grocer brought forth a box of the little sticky, tsugary dried fruit popularly known as dried currant* and used in fruit cake, plum puddings, mince pioa, buns und the like. "Why, them's 'em!" said the little girl. "Yes, them's 'urn." assented the grocer; and if the Grecian maiden who trod this particular lot of fruit into the package had used a little water on her feet before she began there wouldn't be so much sand and grit in 'em as there u. She must have been having a regular hoedown on the classic sands before she began to dance on this box of fruit. There, sissy, tell your mother she must bathe 'em in several waters beunv r-lie uses 'em, or she might just as well pnt a lot of sandpaper in her fruit cake. And toll her they ain't dried currants, either." ••What's the reason they ain't dried currants?" asked a disputative customer. "They ain't dried currants any more than they're dried pumpkins!" replied the grocer. "The reason they ain't dried currants is that they weren't currants be/ore they were dried. That's reason enough, ain't it?" "Yes," said the customer, less disputive. "Hut what does everybody call 'em dried currants for?" "'Cause they don't know any better!" replied the grocer. "They'll go right on coming in here and asking for dried currants just the same after I tell 'em why they ain't drieJ currants as they did before." "What should they ask for, then? inquired tho customer. "If any main should ever come in here and ask for dried corinths,1' said the grocer, "he would not necessarily be a gentleman, but I'd bet on him for being a"'schohu\ Dried corinths is what you should ask for when you want this little sugar-coated, gritty raisin, for it's a raisin, pure and simple." ••How's that?" the customer wanted to know. "Because it was a grape before it was dried, ' said the grocer, "and if di'ied grapes ain't raisin:-;, what are they?"' "Hut you said these wore dried fo;1- inths!' said tho customer. "What's acorinth. anyhow?" "A corinth is tho smallest grape that grows," replied the grocer, "and it lost-Us-1)ante—ytvfirs-Jtnd "yean ago, because it was gradually corrupted into em-rant, which became the namtJ of the acidulated little berry of our garden, which you might dry from now until (iahriel sounds his horn without getting it any neure;* the condition of a raisin than a pea is.

If it could, we wouldn't have the sand and jirit the maidens' feet mingle with the fruit, without which no dried Corinths arc genuine. "Still.

Phosphorus is now being made by electricity. The principal manufactory is In England, where it ia anticipated fully 1,000 tons will be mtule annually. An electric insect killer is the latest novelty in that line. It is formed by a corer of wire gauze, which is placed over a lighted candle. The gauze is in an electric circuit, and wh«u insect* touch it they are killed. An Ingenious application «f electricity for rentilation has been brought out in France. An electric fan furnishes the currant of air which can be eooled by means of Ice or other cooling agent. If hot air is required, electricity la sent through a series of meshes of wire, whoae high resistance causes it to become hot, aud the air passing through these is given the heat required.

Many who live in the interior towns and villages have the notion that to buy railroad tickets to far distant points, it is necessary to go to the larger cities. Others, that by some chance or design they may, by going off from home somewhere and first paying local fare to this somewhere or other, they will be able to save something in the price. Now in all other business matters you will rather deal with those at home and with whom you have acquaintance and in whom you have confidence. Buying railroad tickets in business. The trip may be pleasure—full of pleasure—but the purchase is business.

A number of neighbors were at Muladov's Iwuso, aud 4,hoy had all been drinking hard cider quite freely. Tho cider had all been consumed wbon William Jacobs arrived, but he sent out for more and tho drinking was re- HUMied. Then they commenced dancing Hud were having a hilarious time when Mulador ami Jacobs became involved in a yuarreJ. Jacobs struck Mulador and was ordered out of the bouse. Jacobs refused •to go urnl the quarrel was continued with increased anger, At last MuUulor went inLo his bedroom and returned with a shot- .pmi, with which he threatened to shoot Jacobs if he did not go away. Jacobs udvaueed towards Mulador, who then retreated to the bedroom. Jacobs followed, whereupon Mulador fired. 'The pun was loaded with No. 4 shot, and the charge took effect iu tue upper part of Jacobs' faoe, penetrating tho skull and euteriug tho brain. Both his eyes were put out. M"v 'or was arrested by Officer Mattisou, <HJ on to Sturgis. aud is now in jail. Fo .aims that the shooting was done in solf-defense. Senator l<"rli'dlain]tr Yg The auditor-general of the state has applied to tho supreme court for a writ of •mandamus to compel the supervisors of Menominee county to uso the tax roll as made out for that county before the new couuty of Dickinson was organized from its former territory. Tho supervisors refuse and among oilier reasons claim that the organization of Dickinson county was uot legal, us Senator Friedlatider, whose vole made tbo necessary majority to carry tho bill through, was not legally a member of tho bodv. The supervisors claim that the senate did not, under its own rules, follow the necessary procedure to pronounce in legal form on the qualification and election of Senator Fricdlunder, he never having been declared a duly elected senator when tbo quorum necessary to make su?h action legal was in attendance. Having never been a legal member of the senate, his vote was of no effect, and the Dickinson measure, not obtaining the votes of a majority of the members elect, is void.

A communication from Santiago, Chili, says thut United States Minister Egan had uemanded of the government of Chili due reparation for the attack recently mado iu Valparaiso upon a number of the seamen of the United States cruiser Baltimore. The demand is an informal suggestion that, the government at Washington expects some kind of satisfaction for the killing and wounding of the Baltimore's sailors. After giving a full list of the Baltimore'* crew wiio were injured by Hie mob, Mr. Eyau's statement culls attention to the fact that :•>;"•> of the cruiser's crew were on the day of the riots arrested, unnecessary violence being used by the police,und that they were detaiued in custody without due cause.

She intended to resume tbe trip the next morning and 1 so was tied up for the night. Just before [ day-break un alarm of lire wus suddenly sounded, and before many wore awake the bout was aflame. Tho blaze originated on tho lower dock, from what cause is not ' known, and, icouimuuicating to the dry cotton, was soon burning with grout tierceness. The <\rew of tho bout were aroused, und with the passengers who were awake, gave tht; alarm to those who were asleep. A rush was immediately made for the forward part of tho boat and many got off iu safety, but that avenue of escape and others were soor. cut o!T iud the unfortunate passengers ami crew were forced to plunge into the water, The crew of the boat displayed commendable coolness and every effort was made 1/J rescue those who had not, reachi'l the shore.

The Americans were without arms and practically defenseless. Mr. Egun expressed the feeling of great indignation which the state department at Washington feels in the affair, and especially at the brutal conduct of tho police at Valparaiso with the mob iu the, latter's attack upon the Baltimore's seamen, aud iu drawing their bayimet.s and using them against the unarmed Americans. T h e J u n t i ' a It< ply. The department of state at Washington has received a telegram from Minister Egan giviuir the reply of the Chilian government u> President HiUT.sun's . demuml. for reparation for'the murder of American sailors at Valparaiso. The dispatch is as follows: "The minister of foreign affairs replies that the government of the United States formulates, demands and advances threats that, without, oeing cast buck w.th acrino more. The alarm waters to rise was communicated ' to the people of Milliken's IJend and tho bank of the river was soou crowded with the villagers, who assisted in the work of rescue and hospitably threw open their homes to the survivors. At least 115 persons were either burned or drowned and perhaps more. The steamer was burned to the water's edge and with the cargo is a complete loss. A Crime to Aid M a r v i n ^ A dispatch from St. Petersburg says that the Russian government hu» rejected the petition of a deputation of tho richest Moscow merchants for permission to form a society for the relief of the victims of I'amine-slrickei! district--. The society was backed by an immense amount of capital aud a host of volunteers. The minister of the interior, in declining the proposition, declared that anybody attempting to visit the districts where the famine- prevailed for any such object us that described wuukl be arrested. The inon_v, are nut acceptable,_nor could t_he_j, be i.'migration..s.ocietyJLias ..prohibited the. oracccptt'd in the present case or in any other of like nature. He docs not doubt the sincerity, rectitude or experlness of investigation on board tho Baltimore, but will recognize, only tho jurisdiction and authority of his own country to judge and punish tuc guilty in Chilian territory. He says the, administrative aud judicial authorities have been investigating the affair; thut judicial investigation under Chilian law is? secret and the lime is not yet arrived to make, known results: when that time does arrive ho will communicate thu result, although he does nut recognize anv other authority competent tu judge criminal cases than thut established by the Chilian people. Until tho time arrives to disclose the result of the investigation he cannot admit that tho disorders in Valparaiso or the silence of his department should appear as an expression ol unfriendliness towards tho government, of the United States, which might put in peril the friendly relation:, between the two countries." Up to the hour when the above statement was made public, no reply had been mado to it. What will be tho nature of Secretary Blame's reply is altogether a matter of conjecture. The most plausible, theory advanced is that tho suggestions courteously and diplomatically conveyed m Acting .'SAXrelary Whurtons dispatch, that this government had no doubt invest igutton would 4K» mudo and reparation afforded, will now be, renewed in the shape of ;v htern anil formal demand for some im mod into assurance of proper action on the part of the junta, aiui if those are not, forthcoming. Minister Egan will uanizaliou of relief committees at certain points. This is supposed to be due to tho fact that reliance upon government roliof will have a bad moral effect upon the peasants, who will decline to work on relief railways, roads, etc., ami spend the money they receive iu drink. They are too lazy to tow corn while the ready cash of u famine fund is procurable. Palo Alto Urenk* Ilix liocord. Palo Alto, the old hero of tbo Stanford stables, heat his record at Stockton. Cal..

She said her father was a soldier and died in the defense of tho Hag und she would die if need be in order to keep tho fiag floating over tbe schoolhouso.

She was always ready to-do anything1 ferine or to eet what I wanted, and fora long time Miss Farquhar's maid was my best friend at {St. (iabriel's Grange. "Lucy,'' I said, without moving, "come here a moment. You are not so lonely at the Grange as 1 thought. There is H house, a dark red house, yonder, through the trees beside the lake.

C H A T T E R IV. Mr. Giuse.oigne was .sitting in the arm-chair by the hearth, looking as though he had not moved since I left him on the previous night. Xor did the room look much different, except that daylight dimly illumined it, and that the long table was bare, save for books and papers. "Good day, Miss Thor i," he said —"pood day. I hope you lind things comfortable for you?" "Very comfortable indeed, thank you." "You need not thank me. What do you purpose 1 had to do with it?

At five came a message that 1 was expected in the drawing-room.1 In a flowing tea-gown of jx'aooek blue, with a saeque train and a cascade of creamcolored lace, Lady Martin Tomeroy stood pouring out the tea. Hilda Farquliar was sitting, book in hand, in her low chair, in robfs of palest sapphire hue, setting "off tho delicate beauty of her skiu and the tint of her yellow hair, and almost matching tho clear wild blue of her large eyes. Lady Martin looke.l up .Wi entered. "Good evening,1' she said, with mockery in her tone. "I suppose you have spent a pleasant day and made yourself at homo in the-Grange?" Hilda merely turned her eyes for a second In my direction, and let the lids fall over thana ***in and the eyebrows arch a little higher. But Aunis, who was kneeling on the hearthrug, her white dresi spreading over the floor, got up and came to me*t me, holding out her hand. "Mrs. Grearos tells me she has been tak- Ing yon over the house," s'ie nai<!. "How do you like it, Miss Thome'.'" "It is perfect," I answered. "1 do not know how else to describe it."

You must see I .uici u variety of peoi;le, and get to know them so much niore intimately than by merely meeting them now and again." "What an advantage!" interjected Gwendoline. "And then there, is something attractive ahoutit as an employment. Think of all the novel'heroines who were companions; romantic things always happen to them, I fancy. Don't you ;tgio» with me, Miss Thorne? If I had '0 choose an occupation, 1 shou'd select yours directly." "I have met with nothing romantic as yet." 1 smile.I. "1 am afraid you would not find all so rose-colored as you imagine, l'ossibiy, as \ our sist(*r intimates, my experieuee with Lady Feuwick was unfortunate; she always treated me more as a daughter Hum a companion, and perhaps \ that spoiled the r o m u m r .

"Clergymen alwavs have lar.g1- families," Gvvriiilo.ine said. "And the poorer they are. the more children.

".Men do not often become bishops until their families arc; grown up. and then ono does nut 11,.lice, how many children there are. And isCIoist^rham a very pretty place, Miss Thorne?" It was old-fashioned and quiet, I told her, with nothing remarkable except the cathedra!. "Oh. yes, I have scon pictures of the cathedral!" she said. "I"" should like to see tho interior of it. and I think it would be pleasant to live in a cathedral city. Have you lived there all your life?" "I-was at school in London for a t i m e ; but my home has always been at Cloisterham." "1 suppose you were not with Lady Fenwick long'.'" asked Gwendoline. 'Girls generally stay at school until eighteen." "Kighteeu m o n t h s / ' I answered, " 1 am twenty-one now." "Oh. 1 am not curious as to your age, Miss T h o m e ! 1 imagined yon younger; but, since you are not. so much the better. You are the more likely to know how to conduct your.M If in a rather peculiar position." "I hope i shall know how to conduct myself in any position I may bo called to till." It was a stiff and formal answer, a foolish one to give to her; but 1 was angry, and it was all 1 could do to.keep.d.vwj.i ijjy..anger find speak calmly. "Were you called to the Grange?" she asked, "1 was engaged by Mr. Gascoigne." '•Just MI. I thought perhaps you- meant a species of call such as tlie Methndi>ts talk about.

"Rut I hope it will turn out to be less disagreeable than first impressions nwy havo suggested. To-morrow 1 must show you the grounds and the lake, and, if it is flue, wo will so toMarlands." When tea was over, Hilda Farquhar went to the piano and played some difficult music of Chopin's \tith eold and perfect execution. "If you like to sirnj, Gwendoline," she said presently, "I will play your accompaniments.** Lady Martin hud a fine rich voice, and she sang with passionate feeling "L«t me dream lM and "Strangers yet."

What put such a fancy into your head? I peiceivo Miss Thorne will want keeping in her place!" "Miss Thorne is as much a lady as any of us," Aunis replied. "1 must do something to atone for your rudeness, Gwendoline. I 1 wonder she stands it at all." "1 hope she will not for long," said Gwen- ' doline. "J should be glad if she left; and I think she is too proud to complain to uncle Richard. Why do you not forbid your maid , being lent about like this, Hilda? I haven© doubt Lucy explains all our private affairs to this girl; L know she has mentioned Ulric Gascoigne to her. Servants ;\lways chatter when they are allowed." "I ain perfectly indifferent to Lucy'3 chatter while she continues to attend to me properly," said Hilda calmly. "She knows nothing of me that Miss Thorne or any one else, may not know. I should be sorry to share my secrets with .such persons." I stepped along the hall—I could be?rit no longer—and, with burning face and clenched hands, hastened to Mr. GaM'oigne'a room. As Lady .Martin POIIKTOV had been kind enough to say. I was too proud to speak to Mr. Git.seoignc ; 1 hid my agitation as well as 1 could, and he did not appear to notice it. He asked me to sing to him, and I sang old ballads and Scotch songs, and playei A fragment or two of .Beethoven's, until dinnor- time.

"Well, did yon see my nieces to-day?"' "Yes," I answered."! had tea with them." "And did you lind them pleasant—pulito —agreeable?" I paused; but I resolved never to acknowledge that 1 felt their discourtesy. "Miss Annis Farquhar," I said, "was more than pleasant. She has been exceedingly kind to me since I came." "Has she? That is right. And the others —my Lady Martin and Hilda?" "With the other-, Mr. Gascoigne, I have not succeeded so well." "You did not look as though you had," he said quietly, with a smile. "Never mind, my, dear, never mind! Don't heed their nonsense!" And he chuckled as ho lingered one of the ivory pieces on the table. "We'll say 'Check !' to them by-and-by." * " * • : ; • * " * * Tor a week my days at St. Gabriel's Orange passed like this. Sometimes I had breakfast ami luncheon by myself, sometime.-; with Lady Mariin Pomeroy and her sisters. At tea I always met th *m, and aiways t iiroantered tlie same annoyance from Ludy Martin, the same disdainful indifference from Hlkta. Twenty times a day I \ owed" not to stop anuther week beneath the Toof-th-at sheltered these two women, who seemed to try with all theirinight to arouse my anger, and bring me to retort in such words as could bo repeated to Mr. Gascoigne, or as would drive me from the house. But Mr. Gascoigne, eccentric, ami dictatorial as he was, was ever courteous to me, and, though he would often ask, as on thai second night, whether 1 had seen his nieces, ami how I got ou with thorn, 1 never said more in answer than on the tirst occasion. When they were not going to visit friends, they came up to dine withthf iruuele, bringing their fashionable gowns and their fair faces into the antique rooms, and rustling their silk trains against the armor of .their ancestors. Then Lady Martin curbed her sarcastic tongue, and Hilda Farquhar court* ed the old man-with smiles on her beautiful lips and softer gleams from her blue eyes. I saw that she could be fascinating when sho pleased, and when it was part of her scheme. Gwendoline made no pretence of graoiousness. She merely spoke little and sat quietly, with the curve of discontent and scorn still on her lips, and said not a word to me. After dinner she would sing to the old-fashioned piano her modern passionate lovesongs, I think Mr. G.iscoigne liked to hear her, but he rarely betrayed as much. Hilda's classical playing he candidly declared he did not care to hear;-for Aunts; "TVho possessed only a small -mezzo-soprano voice, but who sang simple ballads that were suited to it, he had sometimes a word of praise.

Here is a specimen of a recent experience Fred had with an unsophisticated traveler. Uua ..afternoon a man with an Ohio <;ranker cast of countenance approached his window ami inquired; "Young man, I want to go to Akron." •'Akron is in Ohio," responded Fred, nibbing; his French-cut heard. "That's true," said the stranger, "and I want a lower berth clear through, and have it in the center ear, too. I've got rheumatiz and am stiffer'n a yard o' whale bone, and I'm no climber, neither." "Lower berths were sold out an hour ago," answered Fred. "and there's nothing left but the porter's lower in the stateroom. That, of course, you can't buy."1 "Young man," breathed the man from Akron, us he planted his callous palm down on the glass ticket counter, "youse tly ticket men are dead skins, and never have anything decent to sell unless a young lady or a friend comes along: then the lo»ver berths are thicker than daisies in June." Fret! persisted that the lowers were all sold, and offered the man a good upper berth. . . " I want no uppers." responded-the Ohio man. "until some ono invents a means of climbing in them without breaking his neck. IUit Fll tell you what I will do, young man. Fll erack this $2 ba.-k in my wallet, sleep in the smoker, and call myself so much in. I'm not paying good money to sleep next the roof when I can snooze in the smoker for nothing."

It seems a shame that any such step is n«edful in a land that claims to be Christian. Wo raise millions of dollars and send men and women all over the world to heathen countries to christianize them and teach them (rod's law, and yet have to petition our own government to observe the fourth commandment. Let a little of our missionary work be done sit home. • The Times of London publishes a final estimate of the state of the crops in Great Britain, and says that it anticipates a bad yield and of indifferent quality. Much of the grain stacked is in such a condition as to necessitate great delay before it can be thrashed. The real state of affairs, therefore, will not be known for a month. I t is possible the harvest, on the whole, may not be worse than of recent years, but in many districts the crops will be the worst in forty years, and the farmers will not be able as they had hoped, to recoup themselves for recent losses bv abundant crops and improved prices. Sportsmen throughout the county seem very indignant in regard to the fish law. We have some very fine fish in our lakes that have been planted there nt some expense and work to some of them, and said fish will not bite a hook, so the only way to take them is by spearing or nettingnnd that is forbidden. The tine is high or so long a time in the county jail. To hear some of the sportsmen talk OIK* would think the county would have to build a larger boarding house to accommodate those who will fish, law or no law. We wonder if fhr next —legislature will not-make it nstntrs prison crime to be found looking into an inland lake. reaching it, the crew being taken oft by the boats from shore. There wits much" excitement amon^ the spectators, and. though Lieut. Sturdee's views hadbeendisproved his bravery and that of his companions was highly praised. -Sciantitic American. Remarkable Tost of a Torpedo Uout. An experiment was made at Plymouth, Eng., October 22, with •<x boom to check the rushes of torpedo boats. The boom wast liicklv studded with formidable steel spikes, together with a sewn inch steel hawser stretched taut overhead as a balk. Torpedo Lieutenant Sturdee. who had disapproved the plan, offered to prove the correctness of his assertion that the device would not afford the protection desired. He guaranteed that he would cither jump or force the boom, and he finally obtained permission to make the attempt. A swift torpedo boat was loaned the lieutenant for the experiment. Tpon tlrs he built a massive arched superstructure extending from bow io stern, intended to raise and support the overhanging hawser. Four seamen volunteered to accompany the daring lieutenant. The lives of all concerned were specially insured for the benefit of 11 I ei i; familios by.Qrdera_of_tkfi Jul,. mirality, whose experts believed that tin1 attempt of Lieutenant Sturdee means almost certain death. The importance of the experiment as a means of making an actual test of the availability of this, means of defense alone justified tho risk in tho eyes of flu officials. A Paper for the Million.

He The boom having been abjusted across the mouth of the harbor, tho torpedo boat started on its hazardous mission. The start was made half a mile away from the boom, and a high rate of speed was attained as the obstruction was neared. At the last moment the Lieutennnt and his men rushed below and fastened down the hatches. An instant later the boat, running at a speed, of nineteen knots, struck the boom. The concussion was terrific, and all the occupants of the craft were thrown so violently against the sides of the boat that they were painfully bruised. It seemed for a moment as though, the expectations of Lieut. Sturdee would be j realized and the boat force its way \ through the boom. She jumped nearly clear, but before she got through, the hawser caught her and pressed her against the big ' spikes of the boom, which held her like a vise and tore her bottom badly. The boat at once began to make water. The seamen worked at her some time before she could be got free. Then they started for the beach, but the boat foundered befori GREAT AUCTION SALE!

FJIANK I.. Asi'iiDws, Pub. PINCKNEY, MICHIGAN. THE skilled workingroea who come to the United States in buch larjro numbers from European countries would lied it to thi'ir advantage V) learn the Knjrlish tongue and to mako themselves famiiiiir with American wnyn and Anuirk'an idea* Unions they do this it iu ca*y for them to bo Biislod. OF corii^i:, und<T our form of government tho most thn j^'nonl yovornmont could do in iln1 mailer of roadmakiny would bo to i-nLiuvo the functions say of tlio department of agriculture, to the extent of securing so far as practicable its co-operation in the building and maintenance of good remda in all cases where the- state governments naturally rench tbo limits of their jurisdiction, und for tho state governments to establish either a separate board of highways,or to arrango in connection with tho boards of county commissioners under a special actcovfjring this purpose. WHEN the people once thoroughly understand that in securing good roads they are adding to- their wealth, comfort, and happiness there will be an era of roadmaking in the United States iuch as has never been witnessed on 60 immense a scale since the days of tho Romans. Tho national government once undertook this work, and had it not been for the invention of the railroads tho country roads of the United States would now probably be among the best in the world. But the railroads can never supply the place of good wagon roads, and the development of a system of good roads in any state will demonstrate that fact so clearly that the example would soon fee followed by other states. THE Bwcating system has no advocates who have publicly espoused its cause. Unlike many other things, involving human want and sin, it is a matter that admits of no discussion; it is absolutely without mitigating attributes; there is but one side to it The most that can be claimed in its favor, even by tho sweater himself, is that it affords him a living; for to the poor wretches in his employ, it offers only a slow death. And it may be seriously questioned whether, if tha abolishment of tho system meant also the extinction of such men as had used it as a means of subsistence, that were not, in itself, a benefit to the world at large. As a bvsteni, this hideous sehemo of human greed cannot bo supported by a singlo argument. "WHEN the rulers of Europe had settled themselves firmly on their thrones once moro after tho remarkablo revolt of the people in 1848 the United Slates berauie the as»ylum of numerous distinguished rufuge.ed who had led in the abortive movement for free government. To these strong men this nation owes mucli, for they were in accord with A\\ its institutions save that of slavery. As citizens of lhe republic they worked manfully for the overthrow of the traffic in human beings. There can be no doubt that the tonic quality of the tine European thought brought to the United States by the scholarly men who had struck so bravely for freedom at home did much to correct the vicious sentiment concerning slavery then prevailing in this country and to prepare the north for the great events which crowded upon it a decade later. THE greed ot avarico has encroached upon tho churchyard and "God's acre," and civilization has permitted the sacrilego 'or"th(3 removat oT the dead to make way for commerce; but sometimes sentiment has been stronger than the lust of gold, and in tho city of JSew York there is nothing more exalting of the better nature of man than old Trinity's churchyard, with its age gray tombstones, peaceful and holy in the very heart of Broadway. When the earth cries out against the burden consigned to her restful bosom, we may adopt the plan the people of Isew Orleans were compelled by their Bhallow soil to put in operation. We may build above ground hermetically sealed chambers aa ropositories for tho dead, and these even better than the retort will oonterve the laws of sanitation without outraging the natures of those millions of people who are not now and neve* will be oducated to an approbation of the advantage! of cremation.

Dr. Tulmuye preached °« "Sailing I'pthe Kile," the second sermon ol' tlie scries, entitled "I-'MUI the I'yrumids of the Acropolis, or What 1 Saw in Kgypt and (.JreeceC'ontirmatory ojjxhe Scriptures."" His text was K/,ekiel ~'J;'.<: "The river is mine and 1 have made, it." Alia! This is the river Nile. A l>ro\vn, or yellow, or silver cord on which are hung more jewels of thrilling Interest than on any river that was ever twisted in the sunshine. It ri]>- ples through the Hook of K/ekiel, and Hashes in the Hooks of Deuteronomy, and Isaiah, and Zechariah, and hum, and on its banks stood mijrhties of many ayes. It was crystal cradle of Moses, and on banks Mary, the refugee, carried the infant Jesus. To lind the birthplace of this river was the fascination and defeat of expeditions withoutuumber. .Not many years ago, ISayard Taylor, our great American traveler, •wrote: "Since Columbus tirst looked upon San Salvador, the earth has but one emotion of triumph left for her bestowal, and that she reserves for him who shall tirst drink from the fountain of the White Nile under tho snow iields of Kilimanjaro/' Hut tlio discovery of the sources of the Nile by most people was considered an impossibility. The malarias, the wild beasts, the savages, the uneliinable steeps, the vast distances, stopped all the expeditions for a/es. An intelligent native said to Sir Samuel W. Jfaker and wife as they were on their way to accomplish that in which others had failed: "Hive up the mud scheme of the Nile source. How would it be possible for a lady young and delicate to endure what?would kill the strongest man? Hive it up." But the work went on until Speke, and Grant, and Haker found the two lakes which are the source of what was called the White Nile, and baptised these two lakes with the names of Victoria, and Albert. These two lakes, filled by great rainfalls and by accumulated snows from the mountains, pour their waters, laden with agricultural wealth such as blesses no other river.on down over tlie cataracts, on between frowning mountains, on between cities living and cities dead, on for four thousand miles and through a continent. Hut tho White Nile would do little for Kgypt if tliijs^ were all. It would keep its banks anoT Kgypt would remain a desert, IJut from Abyssinia there conies what is called the Illue Nile, which, though dry or nearly dry half the year, under tremenclousvRains about the middle of June rises to great momentum, and this Blue Nile dashes with sudden inllux into the White Nile, which in consequence rises thirty feet, and their combined waters inundate Kgvpt with a rich soil that drops on all the iields and gardens as it is conducted by ditches, and sluices, and canals every whitherVTho greatest damage that ever came to Kgypt came by tlie drying up of the river Nile. ar.d the ..greatest, bicising by its healthful, and abundant tlow. The famine in Joseph's time came from the lack of sufficient inundation from the Nile. Not enough Nile is drouth, too much Nile is freshet and plague. The rivers of the earth are the mothers of its prosperity. If by some convulsion of nature the Mississippi should he taken from North America, or the Amazon from South America, or the Danube from Europe, or the Yenosv'i from Asia—what hemispheric calamity! Still There arc other rivers that could fertilize and save these countries. Our own continent is gulched. is ribboned, is glorified by innumerable watercourses. But hgypt has only one great river, and that is harnessed to draw all the prosperities of realms in acreage semi-inh'nite. What happens to the Nile, happens to Kgypt. The nilometer was to me very suggestive as we went up and down its clamp stone steps, and saw the pillar marked with notches telling just how high or low are the waters of the Nile. When the Nile is rising, four criers every morning run through the eityannoimeing hovv_ many feet the river has risen —ten feet, nftern feet, twenty feet, twenty-four feet --anti when the right height of water is readied the gates of the canals are Hung open and the liquid and refreshing benediction is pronounced on all the land. As we start where the Nile empties into the Mediterrannean se.i we behold a wonderful fulfillment prophecy. The Nile in very times used to have .'even mouths. As the great river approached the sea it entered the sea at the seven dill'erent places. Isaian prophesied: "The Lord shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea and shall smite it in the seven streams," The fact is they are all destroyed but two and Herodotus saia these two remaining are artificial. —This ride along the Nike is uue uf Lhu most solemn and impressive rides of all my iifetime, and our emotions deepen as the curtains of the night f 11 upon all surroundings. But we Bhall not be satisfied until we can take a ship and pass right out upon these wondrous waters and between the banks crowded with the story of empires. According to the lead pencil mark ir> of the ancicut my bible it was Thanksgiving1 rtny morning, November ':H, 1S8'J, that with my family aiul friends wa stepped aboard the stenrner on the Silo. Tho Mohammedan call to pmrers had been hounded by the priest" of that religion, the Muezzins, froiu tho Jour hundred masques of Cairo as the cry went out: "(iod is great. 1 leur witness that theru is no Hod but tUiri. J bear witness that Mohammed is the apostle of Hod. Come- to prayers. Come 1<> fcalvuiion. (!<>d is great. There is no other but Hod. I'rayers aru better than sleep ' The sky and city and palm groves and river shipping were bathed in the light. It was not much of u, era-It that we boardcu. It would not be hailed on any uf our river.s with any rapture of admiration. It fortunately hud but little speed,.for twice, we ran agrounu und the, sailors jumped into the water ami on their shoulders pushed her out. Hut what yacht ot gayest sportsman, what deck of swiftest ocean queen should give such thrill of rapture us a sail on the Nile.' Tho Pyramids in sight, the remains of cities that are now only a name, the villages thronged with population. Both banks crowded with historical deeds of forty or sixty centuries. Oh. what a book the bible is when read on tho Nile! Nations of sepulchres. And o;ie is tempted to call it uu empire of tmnbs. 1 never saw such a place an Kgypt is for graves. And now we understand the complaining sarcasm of the Israelites when they were on the way from Egypt to Canaan: " Because there are no graves in Egypt hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness'.'" Down the river bank come tno buffalo mid the cattle or kiue to drink. And it was the ancestors of thesj cattle that inspired l'haraoh's dream of the lean kine aud the fat kine. Here we disembark a little white for Memphis, oft' from the Nile to the right, Memphis founded by the first King of Egypt ami for a long while the capital. A city of marble and gold. Homo of tlio Pharaohs. City nineteen miles in circumference. Vast colonnades through which imposing processions marched, llcrti stood the Temple of the Sun, itself in brillaney a sun shone on by another sun. Thebt*s in power over a thousand one hundred years, or nearly ten, times as-long as the Inited States have existed. Here is a recumbent statue seventyfive feet long. Hron/ed gateways. A necropolis called "the haven of the blessed.' Here Joseph was J'rime Minister. Here I'haraoh received Jacob. All possble splendors were built up into the royal city. Hosea, Ezekiel, Jeremiah and Isaiah speak ot: it as something wonderful. Never did I visit a city with sjach exalted anticipations an i never did my anticipations drop so flat. Not a pillar stands. Not a. wall is unbroken. Not a fountain tosses in tne sun. liven the ruin* have been ruined and all that remains are chips of marble, small pieces of fractured .sculpture and splintered human bones. Here and Jthere a letter of some elaborate inscription! a toe or ear of a statue that once stood in niche of palace wall. E/ekiul prophesied its blotting out and the prophecy has been fullillcd. "Kide on." I said "lo our party "and don't wait for me." And as I stood there alone, the city of Memphis in the glory of past centuries returned. And I heard the rush of her chariots and the dash of her fountains and the, conviviality of ner palaces and saw tUe drunken nobles roll on the iloors of mosaic, while in startling contrast amid all the regalities of the p l a c I saw I'haraoh look up into the,„ nice of aged rustic Jacob, the shepherd, saying: "How old art thou?" Two great nations, Egypt and dreece, .diplomatueii and almost oame to battle for one book, a copy of A.schylus. Ptolemy the Egyptian King discovered that in the great [ijmary ut Alexandria there was no copy of .Eschylus. The Egyptian king ser,t up to Athens, (ireece, to borrow the book and make a copy of it. Athens demanded a deposit of 817,700 as security. The Egyptian king received tin; book, but refused to return that which he had borrowed and so forfeited the seventeen thousand seven hundred dollars. The two nations rose in contention concerning that 'me book. Beautiful and mighty book indeed! Hut it is a book of horrors, the dominant idea that we are the victims of hereditary influences from which there is no escape, and that fate rules the world, and although the author does tell of Prometheus who was crucified on the n e k s for sympathy for mankind, a powerful suggestion of the sacrifice of I hiist in later years, it is a very poor book compared with that book which we hug to our hearts because it contains our onl}' guide ,n life, our only comfort in death, and our only hope for a. blissful immortality. If two nations could afford to struggle for one copy of .Hsehylus, how much more can all nations afford to struggle for the possession and triumph of the holy scriptures0 l'.ut tho deadcit;es strung along the Nile not only demolish infidelity, but thunder down the absurdity of modern doctrine of evolution which -says the world started with nothing and then rose, and human nature began with nothing \ut evolved into splendid manhood and womanhood of itself. Nay: the sculpture of the world was more wonderful in the days of Memphis and 'lhelnis and Carthage, than in the days of Boston and New Yorlc Those blocks of stone weighing three hundred tons high up in the wall at Karnae imply machinery eijual to, it' not surpassing, the machinery of the nineteenth century. How was that statue of Itameses, weighing eight hundred and eightvseven tons. transported from the miles away Tell ehres, or temple ruins to tell the story — Memphis, Migdol, Hicrapolis, Zoan, Thebvs, Coshen, Carthaire-all of them developing downward instead ot upward. They have evoluted from magnilicenee intodestruetion. The (iospel of Jesus Christ is the only elevator of individual aud social national character. Let ull the living cities know that pomp and opulence ami temporal prosperity live not security. Those ancient cities lacked nothing but good morals. li'sipa! ion and sin slew them anil unless dissipation and bin arc; hal'ed, they will some day slay our modern cities, and leave our palaces of merchandise, und our galleries ot art and our City Halls an flat in the dust as we found Memphis on t lie afternoon of that Thanksgiving- day. While sailing on this river or stopping at one of tho villages, w-e see people on the banks who verify the biblo description for they are now- us they were in bible times. Shoes are now taken off in reverence to sacred places. Children carried astrr.le the mother's shoulder as in llagar's time. ^tYomen with profusion of jewelry 1 s when Kebeccu was ath'unced. Lenails .shelled into the pottage-, as when I sau sol'd his birthright to get such a dish. The same Jiabils of salutation us when Joseph and his brethren fell on each other's necks Courts of law held tinder big trees as in olden times, people milking bricks without straw, compelled by circumstances to use s i bble instead of straw, d y i n g over, or standing on the banks as in Scripture days, are flamingoes, ospreys, eagles, pelicans, herons, cuckoos and bulllishes. (Hi all »rdos of this river sepulchres. Villages of sepul hres. Cities of j-epulehres. 1 notice the voice of those ancient cities is hoarse from the exposure, of * forty centuries, and they accentuate slowly with lips that were palsied for ages, but altogether these cities along the Nile intone these words, "Hear us, for we are very old, and it is hard for us to speak. We were wise long before Athens learned her first lesson. Wo sailed our ships while yet navigation was unborn. These-obelisks, these pyramids, those piilars,. these wrecked temples, these* colossi of black granite, these wrecked sarcophagi under the brow of the hills, tell you of what I was in grainleur, and of what I am coming down to be. We sinned and fell, i mr learnings could not save us: See those half-obliterated hieroglyphics on yonder wail. Our architecture cov/d not save us: See the painted columns of Phil;e, and the shattered temple of Esoeh. Our heroes could not save us: Witness Mcnes, Diodorous, Kameses, and Ptolemy. Our gods 'Ammon and Osiris could not save us: See their fallen temples all along the four thousand miles of Nile. (), ye modern cities, get some other Hod: a Cod who can help a Cod who i an pardon, a Cod who can save. Called up as we are for a little while to give testimony, again the sands of the desert will bury us. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust!" And as these voices of porphyry and granite ceased, ali the sarcophagi under the hills responded, ''Ashes to ashes!" and the capital of a lofty column fell grinding itself to powder among the rocks, ami responding, "Dust to dust!" Woolen* for , Costumes of fancy woolens with very light grounds, gray, eeru, mastic, mushroom color, amber-brown, etc., crossed with the silkiest of shaggy bars in mixed colorings---often searlot, green and gold—or in checks, stripes and blurred detached patterns, are, made up in jaunty "s'yles, many of them too fanciful for nny but youthfut woaroTH.

IVORY SOAP TROUBLES OF AN INVENTOR. How the First Ulan ulucturer of Melinite Wu* Cheat eil Out of Ills Work. At tho close of the year it was announced in French newspapers that a new expl.osi.vo had been invented, compared to which dynurnitu and nitroglycerine woro as playthings. Tho name of thU now artk-lu WJIH meliaito, and the inventor was u I\I. Tucpin, a French choinist. Army enyinuors tualud it nnd found it "altoyetht:r satisfactory.'1 A nholL which was lired into an old condemned fort near Paris blew tho whoio stfui:turo to atoms; not a Htono or a handful of earth was Itift in-its place. Jn exploding, the melinite resolvud itaelf into such jioworful ^'ases that nothing could withstand its destructive force. The invention meant a revolution in warfare; even tho best modern work* of defense were- now rendered quite useless. Tho inventor ivri'ived tin? duo amount of praise. His explosive was called buukuig'ito in honor of the then popular minister of war. and the French government promised to buy his invention. Hut HouUin<jer fell, and hiss successor, M. ('ampenori. seemed to have forgotten both Turpin and the melinite, as it again was called. Patriotism is a vei'y noble quality, but tho best patriot must have money, and M. Turpin concluded to sell his invention to some other government, or to some gun manufacturer. He thought, of tho Armstrongs, in England, says tho Detroit Free Press, who are the most extensive manufacturers in their line, next to Krupp, in Fbsen and ho addressed himseli to M. Triponnet, their agent in Paris. Triponnet advised him to go lo their works at Newcastle, which Monsieur Turpin did. His astonishment may bo imagined when ho upon his arrival found that his invention was already known in England. Tho Armstrongs had a complete knowledge of the relative quantity of the component parts of the melinite as well as of all other secrets cuuuected with its manufacture, and the firm had called him only to obtain his personal affirmation of the correctness of the process, and tho genuineness of the article, for which they offered him 7.">o, 000 francs. This proposition M. Turpin rejected and went back to Paris in a rage. Here he very soon learned how the English firm had come into possession of his secret. Their agent in Paris had simply had his father-in-law steal the necessary document from the archives of tho war department. M. Turpin now made formal complaint to tho government, and a commit too of investigation was appointed. Tho chairman was an army officer who had assisted Triponnet's father-inlaw in tho theft, and tho investigation endod in smoke, of course. After four years of waiting and futile ngitation, M. Turpin lias now finally taken the bull by tho horns and published a pamphlet in which he gives a. complete account of tho caso and the treatment ho hiia sutTerod. Tho publication of sovorai of tho documents and facts contained in this pamphlet was very annoying to, the irovernmont, anil tho unsold balance of tho edition was recently confiscated by order of tho war deportment. At tha samo time Triponnut and Turpin wero both arrested. Triponnet's fath* or-in-law, the actual thief, had already "evaporated." A Much ^larrlcd .TIan. i According to a London paper polygamy is practised to an extraordinary degree in Ashantec. The number of wives which a man in private life may have is limited by his ability to purchase and support them, but the number which a King may have is limited by law to tho modest number of .'3333, and it is said ho usually docs not exceed that limit Tho present King has actually the allotted number and he has six hundred children. Tho,so wives, during the working session, rittond to tho King's plantations, but the rest of tho time they live atCoomassio, the Ashantee capital, where they occupy two long --streets. When they go orrt for-tt wttfk-i-tt -a-body.- &A is. o 1- ten the ease, they are proeoaued by a. number of eanohs, who herald their coming that all nion may disappear and avoid looking upon them. When this is impossible they must fall upon their faces to the ground. H ti whito man hapwns to be there, and docs not understand tho law, tho ounehs turn his face away from tho advancing women.

JOHN, JOHN SEBASTIAN, CHICAGO, ILU t * •g Neighborhood news, gathered by our corps of hustling Correspondents. TYRONE. Apple puckers at work. Jack Wolvertun finishes threshing this week. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Shook uro away from home on a visit. Gosjsip says there will be a wedding in North Tyrone this week. PLAINFIELD. Husking corn and digging potatoes is the rage among fanners now. Mr. and Mrs. June G. Sayles Lave returned after enjoying their wedding trip. On the 24th of this month Rev. North will deliver a lecture here under the auspices of the Y. P. C. E. society in celebration of its anniversary at this place. A very successful donation was held in Smith's hall here by the Presbyterian's, last Friday evening for the purpose of raising a part of elder North's salary. Madge Myler, of Detroit, who is at present visiting friends in this section, last "Wednesday evening gave a very pleasing and successful cob-wed party to her young friends at the residence of her cousin, JS. T. Wasson, everything passed off nicely and quaint and curious were the presents and suggestions etc., to be found at the end of each string. colleges and universities which this country needs, but more well managed homes for the homeless and more schools in which the masses can be taught virtue and industry. "We commend the subject to those who have the means with which to do good to mankind ami who would like to find a practical way to do it.—The Western Rural. Cremated. We witnessed the burning of nearly ten dollars worth of vegetable seeds on Monday last. They were from P. Landreth k Sons, of Philadelphia, and were left over from the stock purchased by Barnard k Campbell, and according to their contract all seeds left over must be burned before witnesses, this insures nothing but fresh -seeds next year. The company sends the same number of packages of fresh seeds next year as were cremated this, so the dealer loses nothing. This i.s more satisfactory than returning the seeds to the packing house as none of them can be reshipped. Industrial Schools. The "Western Rural is delighted with the results of the School of Agriculture and Manual Training at the Rural Glen Farm, at Glenwood, 111.* This journal does not say as much about this school as it would like to, for the reason that we feel a delicacy about doing so, in couseqirence of our connection with it. But the gift of the Rural Glen Farm for the purpose of aiding homeless and friendless children into lives of usefulness and honor, has been and is a cause of extreme satisfaction to us, and it is not alone in the excellent work that the school is doing that causes rejoicing, but we have reason to .believe thai it .has been the means of inspiring others to consecrate property to a like purpose. It is announced that a rich man who recently died in an adjoining state, bequeathed a splendid farm for the industrial education of the dependant children of the county in which he had lived. It is a practical work. The boys and girls who are drifting aimlessly about the streets of our cities and towns, certainly to become the victims of vice and crime, unless cared for, are vain-! able to themselves, to the state and j to God. They need only a little kindness and a little help, to turn ' toward useful womanhood and useful manhood. The rich have here ft'field for the display of humanity nnd patriotism, which is offered in no other direction. It is not more Spontaneous Fires. \ Thf Insurance Journal states that the number of tires due to what is commonly called spontaneous combustion is probably much greater than is generally supposed. An innumerable number of substances are liable to undergo the process, and as a good deal of ignorance appears to exist in regard to the conditions which are necessary for its developement, it seems worth while to offer a few hints on the subject, many organic and some inorganic substances, when exposed to the air in a moist state, absorb oxygen and so develope heat. The rusting of iron, the decay of leaves, and the putrefaction of nitrogenous matter, are examples of this kind of action. In ordinary cases the mass of oxidizing matter is small, and the heat, consequently, being speedily dissipated, has but little intensity, or is even quite insensible to ordinary tests. Heat is, however, always produced, and when, as in a hot bed the heat is always csnsiderable, the extensity becomes notable. "When large masses are concerned with sufficient supply of air, but without the possibility of free ventilation, the heat sometimes becomes so intense as to produce actual combustion. In a few well known cases this takes place in contact with water. Thus, cotton closely packed in a moist state, on board ship or in warehouses, has been known to become ignited and serious fires have arisen from this cause. Hay stacked while moist always becomes greatly heated, and not unfrequently becomes thoroughly charred or even bursts into flames, and the same phenomena has been observed in barns and graneries. Many fires in country places are, no doubt due to tins cause, and probably "some that are ascrbed to arson. Coal, which contains much pyrites, absorbs oxygen and becomes heated rapidly when moist, and although proof is commonly impossible, it is generally believed that fires particularly at sea, have often orig- ,-ignated in this way. But the greatest danger arises when cotton, hemp, jute, flax, or even sawdust charcoal, saturated with oil or turpentine, is stored in masses. Under such conditions, the supply of air being limited, spontaneous combustion is sometimes a matter of certainty. We do not wish to exaggerate the danger of spontaneous combustion. Most fires are probably due to gross carelessness, particularly in. tlie matter of lucu fer matches, which are often used with amazing recklessness, or to the too close proximity of woodwork to stoves and open fires. But it seems certain that risk of the kind we have indicated is constantly incurred in ignorance, and we hold it to be a public duty to point out to all, but particularly to warehouse men and shipowners, the character and the causes of the danger which besets them.

The interest taker* has been so intense that no unfavorable weathrr could keep the people from voting. There were four tickets in the field.

A DANGEROUS PLOT, CHAPTKH V. CONT1NUKP. But, after Gwendoline's thrilling notes bad rung through the room, he would tell me to sing one of his favorites, and I went, Inwardly very tremulous, to the instrument, wondering how my low quivering notea would sound after the brilliant soprano. 'That is good. You have a tine rich voice, Miss Tliorue." Mr. Gaaco'gnesaid one night —it wne the first time he had outwardly expressed any pleasure at my performances, and I thought at the time it wan done in his crut fifty fashion to annoy his uiece.s. "She •In** wotl—<*h, Hilda?" "Ali > Thome wisely selects very simple tongs," v;tia Miss Farquhar, with a little •mile of contempt. "Oh, tli t was the reason, was it? I thought Mis- Thorv*1 chose those songs to please mt\ (J<:n you sing anything in the •tyle of Lady Martin's souga"—lie lingered •ome of h«r music that lay on the table— "Homething by Arthur Sullivan or F. 1L CowenV Try, if you please." I woud have sung to him fifty songa another day in order to have refused theu; but 1 aski*d myself why I should be thought to accept Mis» Farquhar's sneers; and, with a r<•ix'lliouB d««ire to do my best in the knowl- < i. i- !i;it they hid never sought to hear me in Ui- i drawing-room, I without a word •beyed. I chose "Will he come?" and I think that I sang it well, the belter that 1 knew Lady Martin Pomeroy and her sist>r were listening. But it was, too, a ballad that I loved, and, as I went on, I forgot the proud faces watching me, and the cold criticism ready to seize on a faulty note or an imperfect chord. As I played the soft symphony before the last sad verse, I heard Lady Martin's voice. &he began in clear sharp accents, without a pretence of a whisper. "1 had a letter " The old man held up his hand quickly and authoritatively, and never turned hU face from me. When the last refrain was finished— "Rest to the weary spirit, Peace to the quiet dead" —and the last soft chords had died away, he uttered a 6iniple courteous 'Thank you," and then looked at Gwendoline. "Now I am at your service, Gwendoline. Yon had a letter?" "I will wait," she answered, "until I can gpeak to you in private. I am not in a hur- TJ." Hilda rose and came to his side by the big dining-table, and laid her white ring-decked hand on his arm. "Uncle Richard, may I play a (fame of ehess with you? Don't you think I piay well enough for just one game?" "You are very kind, my dear," Mr. Gaseoigne said drily. "But I will not tax your patience. Go back to the piano, and play your sister's accompaniments, and Miss Thome and I will undertake the chesa." Annis knelt down in front of the stone fender and watched our play with a smiling interested face. She was always pleasant with me, always kind, although she was nervous and shy and half afraid, I thought, of her state.y eider listers. Before them she was quiet and constrained, and her l.ttle acts of kindness to me were done surreptitiously, without their eognizance. It was those little deeds, I believe, which hindered me that (list week from throwineupthe situation. Why should I allow myself to be driven from the beautiful old Grange, from work which, if uncongenial, was easy and well paid—ami I, with my seven brothers and sisters, could not afford to be careless of my earnings—by cruel taunts and haughty insults? On the morning following the night with Mr. Gasootene Annis asked me to go out with her. She had before taken me for a ramble in th" grounds and to the neighboring little village of Marlands St. Gabriel; on thta Hay she would take me to the lake, and I noticed that there was a bright flush on her cheeks and a happy light in her eyes. When I went down into the hall, I found that we were not coin?, as before, alone. Lady Martin and Hilda and Annis came out rrom tne morning-room in walking-costume, the eldest in a long velvet jacket bordered with chinchilla, and a large-brimmed hat with sweeping feathers, Annis and Hilda in dark ifreen dresses trimmed with brown fur, and clwely-tiuing toques surmounting the gulden roils of their hair. Ar« you goiug out, Miss Thome?" asked Martin. "Your«istcr invited tnt," I answered. "Oh. are you going with her? Ann is, is Mi«8 Tlwrne going with you?1' "Yes,'Gwendoline," was the reply. "You asked her?" she Inquired. "Ye*; I want to take her to the lak*." "You have extraordinary discretion. Annis T she said. "1 do not understand you," returned Annis, coloring. "Do you not? I thoufht my meaning was plain. If you take Miss Thome, you should take her to Nortury—»t would be more amu* laf for her. That_ i% of conref^ what I mean." Gwendoline and Hilda walked down the «*rriage-drive together, leaving Annis and me to follow. Annis gave no indication of •changing her mind. "You have not teen our lake yet, have you?" she said. "Perhaps you will be disapporntHl with it" I told her I had seen it as I drove to St. Gabriel's Grange, with the moon beaming on its calm waters, and the G. ange battlepatents and bays darkly reflected in their depth*. "I am flad you liked it," she said, smiling a little. "It is unkempt and wild, and the shrubs have all run riot. My uncle has not been near it for months, perhaps years, and It is not what an ornamental piece of water should be, 1 know. But I am rery fond of It, and I love to walk by It." We went out on the high-road, along which I had driven, under the bare arching trees. The day was fine and warm, and the sunlight crept among the branches an4 chequered the way; and, when we came by th* thick shrubbery, the beams were glinting upon the breast of the lake there beneath us, and a mist of sun and watery vapor clouded the bushes on the far-away opposite bank. The road was very quiet We met no one but a laboring man trudging from Norbury fcoThls home at Marl and*, and" a farmer's wife ia a light market-cart, bringing home empty bulter-biiflkets from the market. Presently we turned down a narrow lane which dipped suddenly and skirted the lake so closely that the clear rippling water was but a few feet from us .and some ferns and water-plants only grew by •ttre^TarYe-swkr.'^ The lane itself was scarcely wide enough for more than two persons to walk abreast, for on the other side rose a shelving greeu bank topped by a stone wall. "This is the boundary of my uncle's d o main," Annis Maid. "Indeed this little path is public; but it ia seldom used. It is our favorite walk;" and the. girl blushed a little as she spoke, and looked straight before her up the road. . "And at the other side of the tank," I said, "the laud belongs, I suppose, to the house, among the trees 1 see from uiy window?" "Can you see it?" she cried "Oh, yes, it is part of the grounds of the house, and it all belongs to Mr. UlricGascoigne, my cousin 1 Before we oame he used to live at the Grange; but my uncle and he quarrelled— wasn't it a pity?—and now my uncle will not let him set foot on his land. That house was his mother's." ,' "But he can come here? ' I asked. She looked at me, startled and wondering; but, when she saw the tsruile In ray eyes, she laughed. "Yes," she said, "he can come here." When we h;ul passed the lake, I saw there was a low stone wall to divide this little lane from the Grange property, a low wall over which Ivy giew and gray mosses crep . How well I learned to know the very stones of that wall, and how well I grew to lovw every little leaf and flower that [oepedfruin Its crevices, and the tendrils th;it clung to it scarcely tighter than clung the fibres of uiy heart! "You see that a path from the house comes down to this lane," Anuls said. ''It ia the way we generally come." Gwendoline and Hilda were out of sight. They had not paused for us or spoken to us once during the walk. But quicker ?.nd more determined steps than tiieirs came down the path behind us; and Annis paused by the bankside—I thought, to let them pass. They were two tall handsome young men, with slight well-knit fi^ureo and tlie stamp of gentle bres'dtng on their fair straight-rut • faces. They stopped, raising their hats, and on the lace of the fairer and younger there was a specially bright glad smile. I guessed in a minute who he was. "I am glad you have come to-day, Annis," he said, as he took h«r hand; aid the plea.1*- ure in his face was reflected on hers. "I must Introduce you to my friend," she «ald in answer. "Mr. Gascoigne and Mr. TJlric Gascoigue— Miss Thome." When we waiked on, perforce we fell Into couples. Annis and her lover lagged behind, his brother strolled on by my sidft. Ho seemed used to playing the part of third, for he talked easily and uncoustraiurdfy, without heeding the young folks behind us. "You are a stranger to Marlands, Miss Thome," he remarked. "I suppose you are staying at the Grange? Did Annis's sisters come out with you this afternoon?" "They came, but they walked on in fror*. of us, and we have lost sight of them." "Hilda generally comes with Annis,'- he said; "but I do r.ot think she likes it'1- and he latwlunl. ">fy cousins are very prord, and they do not approve, I fancy, of Ann K'S allowing us, who are in disgrace, to spe.ui to her.'/ He talked lightly and freely, concluding, 1 suppose, though it d.d not orvur to nv. then, that, since Annis had brong.it ine with her as chaperon, I was in all V1B s*crei» *»f the Grange. 1 did not think of it then, and so I let him speak on; and, after all, lie told me little more than 1 had guessed. His own existence was the one thing I had iwvtdreanie-d of; -but-he-was, I iuuud, the elder brother, and the heir by birth to St. Gabriel's Grange, but disinherited by his uncta I could not but wonder in my own mind what Mr. Gascoigne could have found against this young follow that ho should deprive him of h s heritage. I stole a furtive glance at him now and again a^ he talked; it was a frank ami pleasant fa e I looked at He was older than 1 had pehaps at first supposed. There was a decision about his mouth, a slight frown of the brows, and lines here and there, telling that his path had not been all roses, nor his life without thought We walked and talked on for some time. I am half surprised now to think that I was not embarrassed or perplexed by his allusions to those family concerns at the Grange of which I knew absolutely nothing; but at the time it all seemed perfectly natural, and I listened and responded without a thought of hi* probably mistaken view of my position. We meet sometimes In our lives men and women with whom it comes instinctively to fall at once Into friendly relations. It was so with me that afternoon. I was content to meet those frank gray eye* and listen to that pleasant voice without heeding much else. "How far behind your brother and Annis are!" I exclaimed at last, glancing back down the lane. "It would not be kind to remain in ear* shot," he anawered» laughing* "Lwish Anuis wovld sunixnoB up courage to allow ancle Richard to be told of her engagement She seems afraid of the very mention of Ulric'a name in hta presence; but why should she care? U l r i c a s fortunately inherited sufficient property from his mot-her to live on; he is not a soldier of fortune, like myself." "You think Mr. Gaacoigne would be angry?" "Oh, yes, eertaiuly I He has shut us out entirely from his favor, you know. Sometimes I think Annis's sisters have more to do with keeping the secret than Annts her? self.

B u t ! am glad Ufrie chose Annis instead of handsome Hilda, and, in fact, I question whether Hilda would have looked at him and his modest establishment" "She would make a stately duchess," I answered., "She is almost poo handsome forevery-day life." "Yes," he smiled; "love in a cottage would not be in her line. I hope «rv will win thetlukc But Annis may know more of love in her humbler walk, and Ulric may poMibly be happier than the duke." Two flgnrM were advancing down the pathway towards us, growing nearer and aUaret "Here are C.w ndollne artd itiMa," said Sir. GascoikTite.. "It is not often I see (iwen now, perhaps beeau-e there is liurelly room for three in this little paih." As we met, Hilda Farqulmr flashed a glance at me. It was the first time I had encountered the full gaze of those blue eyes that were accustomed to deny me even tho honor of a look, but which i had seen fixed. BO calmly and steadily on other fives; and now I was startled at the sharp angry light darted upon me. I had seen sc:um und restless passion in Gwendolines eyes, audit had not hurt me, for it scarcely seemed that I myself could have caused it. Hut this brought suddenly to my brain amazement and horror and pain, for iu thai one swift glance, I read hatred. It was only for a .second. Miss Faiiaihar turned with a surle and a slightly risen color to Mr. Gascoi^rie. "How do you do, Gilbert?" she said. "1 thought w« should see you to-day." "Did you? Annis told me you were out somewhere—she did not know where. How are you, Gwendoline?" "i did not know you were acquainted with Miss Thorne," tsaid Gwendoline abruptly. "Neither had I that pleasure until Annis effected the introduction some ten minutes since." "Did Aim Is tell you that she is Mi. Gascoigne's new secretary?"' It might have I een the rudeness of her speech or simply ti.e information therein which took hi in aback and brought the sharp decided answer— "Annis simply introduced Miss Thorne as her friend. 1 hope my uncle has not fui1 bidden the acquaintance, Miss Thome?" "Is that likely?'' .said Gwendoline. "Or do you suppose she .would heed if it were the case? Mr. Gascolgho is conlined to his rooms. She is, Annis should have Told you, his companion, amanuensis, intelligencer, and everything else that her predecessors, Granville Cox and James biaunton, were." "You will hav« a busy tinw then," Mr. Gascoigne said simply, addressing me in the Bame pleasant tones as before. "1 hope you will not t re of it so soon as they did, nor omit to take regular walks." "Naturally she. has a. great deal to do; but walks may form part of her business,"' Gwendoline replied tauntingly. -"1 do not understand your meaning "irrthe least, Lady Martin," 1 said. "If you mean to intimate that 1 come out by Mr. G-iscoigne's orders, you know that is not the case. I came by your sister's Invitation. If you mean that Mr. <iascoigne has forbidden me to know his nephew, 1 can only say that Mr. (Jascoigne has never mentioned his name to me." "Gilbert knows what I mean. He is the only person to whom Iain speaking," Gwendoline answered contemptuously. ''Shall we walk o n t o meet Annis?" put in Hilda, with perfect calmness. "It is too cold to stand. How do you and Mr. Garden get on together. Gilbert? Von can still find time, it seems, fur walking ouljn the mornings." 1 noticed afresh, as she spoke to him, what an exquisite face it was that turned with a slight smile to his. The coldness and the prji'fi h;;d gone, and lefta radiautloveliness iu their place. As the way WHS SO narrow. I fell bank, Sn4 Mr. Gascoigiu1 t>tepped behind a spaco also.'' "i'lcase walk on with your cousins. Mr. GascoVne," 1 said, iu low tones; and kidet il iiweiuioline was already by Jis side. "Two is company," Mie said, with a lauL'h, changing her tone in that chameleon-like fashion which again and again hal puzzled me. "Perhaps Miss Tliorne will give m« the pleasure of her company, and I can teil her your history, since Annis hxs afforded information and my uncle has been equa ly uncommunicative. Will you join Hilda, Gilbert?" display some curiosity, i cannot say; but I s]>4l e no word in reply; and we walked on in jxrfect silence, Gilbert Gascoigne ami his beautiful cousin some paces in advance of us, her fair smiling face turning every now and again to him, and an oova^ional word only reaching us. We left the gentlemen by the stone wali, passing through a rusty iron gate into the Grange grounds, and walking by the lake and the shrubbery to the hall door. Annis addressed to me a smiling Innocent remark or two, which I answered simply and quietly. Her sisters said nothing to me, nor 1 to them. As we parted in the hall, Lady Martin Pomeroy came to my side for an instant "Now, spy,"' the whispered tauntingly, "go tell your master all you have seen and heard I" Then she turned away swiftly, and followed her sisters into the morning-nom. TO BE COSTlSVEli. To Stop Coog-hin;. The majority of coughs are unneoesj- »ary. Nature Induces the cough for the purpose of getting rid of some foreign material in the throat, it may be mucus, the result of catarrh, or some foreign substance which has been inhaled. A cough is not necessary when not induced by the c;itarrh named. Not a few cases of chronic coughs are simply the result of habit. The eminent Dr. Brown-Sequard once made the following suggestions about how to stop a cough. "Coughing can be prevented by pressing on the nerves of me lips in the neighborhood of the nose. A pressure there may prevent a cough when it is beginning. Sneezing may be slopped by the same mechanism. Pressing also in the neighborhood of the ear may stop coughing. Pressing very hard on the top of the mouth inside is also a means of stopping couching. And, I may aay. the will has immense power, too. There was a French surgeon who used to say whenever he entered the wards of the hospital, *The first person who coughs will be deprived of food to-day." It was exceedingly rare that a patient coughed then." A DEAD DUKE'S ESTATE. nu Oraoa of ClerelMid and th<AcrM Urn W*« J.ord Over.

Tho origin, history and influence of playing cards sunin to justify th(3 nanio l>y which wo designate the little bundle of oddly paintt-d pieces of pasteboard used in plnyin^ ^anil's. Their origin is enveloped in darkness, but can be traced to the pagans of Hindostan, who placed upon them emblems of tho incarnations of their deity Nishnu, and who used them only for fortune-telling, and similar purposes. It is asserted in tho Chinese dictionary that dotted cards were invented in the reign of the Chinese Emperor Seun-ho, for tho amusement of his numerwives. The Arabs, appear to have introduced thorn among Europeans, about five eeuturies since, and their use, for amusements and gambling purposes, became so general in France and Italy, in the early part of th** fifteenth century, that St. Bernardiu was moved | to preach .so eloquently and err'oct-r J^ely against them as to incite : their possessors to make a fire in the publ;c place, throw their cards into it, and thus consume them. The appropriate signs upon the lust cards imported into England | from Italy were cups, swords, money and clubs; and because of the immoral tendency of the games in which they were used the use; of the cards was forbidden. It is supposed by some that cards were I invented in France, with varied colors, and in fantastic shapes to amuse Charles II, when he losj; ! his reason, and was subject to tits of melancholy. . One thing at least is certain, that when literature , and art prevailed in France, social gatherings were scones ol: noble intellectual enjoyment, the faculty ! of tioodconvers'a tion waso.u lli vatod',I i and afternoons and evenings^ were thus passed in delightful intercourse. JJut as the cultivation of literature and art decayed, t i e • material for familiar interchange of thought passed away, the very capacity for conversation was lost; and, to moot the emergency,cards wore resorted to as the panacea against ennui. Gambling by means of them soon became the rage, the saloons were I iilled w iilt rows of tables, on 'the 'opposite sides of which ladies and gentlemen were seated, where for several hours nothing was hoard but the rushing of cards, tho ringing of money andbursts of anger or rejoicing. But tho revolution soon followed, and swept away, like a whirlwind, tho cards, tho 1 card-tables, and the card-players. When tho passion for cards regained tho ascendency, tho places of tho card-kinds wore tilled by tho portraits of four noted Frenchmen, Moliore, tho comedian and actor; La Fontaine, a writer of' licentious novels; and the inJidols Voltairo and Rousseau. No wonder, that with such an ancostory and history, tho family card-table should have boon con- -srderred, a£ter ^s introduction to Europe, as, "destructive of morals," and a, "groat blot on the manners of the English nation." It is sad to think that so many professing Christians in this gospel age indulge in this card-playing amusement, that is the cherished pursuit of the degraded and the dissolute, that is resorted to by so many for the purpose of killing time and for gambling purposes, that has no redeeming quality to recommend it; and that, wherever it is indulged in, so manifestly saps the vitals of piety, and proves I an obstacle to the progress • of religion. But this is not the worst: Members of the church who are parents will not only permit eardplayingliui- tkeir children in their [ circle, teach their children the] names and uso of the several cards, train them in the mode of winning, and thus prepare thorn for taking their place in the society of the worldly the dissolute and profane. Surely this is not 1 raining them up in the way they should go, but teach them to walk in the path of the godless, leading them into tmnptation, and exposing them to a snare. The leaves in this picture, book I of satan have been in their origin - and history only tho tools of the fortune-teller 'and the gambler, I have led multitudes to learn the i art of defrauding their fellows, to forsake tho home of their youth, j and the society of the righteous; to neglect their business, and to consort with the spend-thrift. "Wo cannot, therefore, understand how Christians can countenance tho presence of this picture book of satan in their houses, or partici-i pate with any propriety in its use. That which satan uses so largely to ensnare and to destroy much be essentially bewitching and destructive. That which is found in the breast pocket of so many dis-1 reputable characters, on the table of every r'iniseller, and in the adjuncts of every dance house, and theatre, must bo a chosen instru-! incut in -Mitan's hands for tho over- i throw of everything that is good j in time, and for the ruin of immortal souls. No amusement can be good that is the favorite re-j creation of the vile.— Selected. j The Pulpit and the Stage. ^ Rev. F. M.

ON* of the plainest of heman rights Is the right to be let alone, and to be allowed the privilege of exercising benevolent faculties and extending tur Bympathias in whatever direction we prefer—a right which cannot be Invaded without tyranny. LIKE is not a game of "button, button, button, who's pot tho button?" with its message "hold fast all I give you," and its end, empty hands for most* the useless button for tho favored one. He who takes for hia motto, "Get ail you can. keep all you get*" will invariably comt to the preacher's conclusion, "Vanity of vanities all is vanity," booner or later. IN order to fit yourself for your boy's booiety you must ordur your thoughts and marshal your acquirements in a way which no other association compels. Hi3 implicit faith ID you not only induces honeaty of mind in return, but btartles you with a lesson which you greatly need to learn-r-namely. tho exceeding narrowness of your own knowledge. There Is no such educator as a bright boy or girl in intimate association with father or mother—none which teaches so niimli or disciplines the mind or character so wholesomely. THE idea that education ends with the coming of manhood is one which % ao really educated mind entertains. \ But there are not many persons who ] realize the extent to which mo a and V women are educated by their children. In fact it is from this source that the best of education come*, and if men and women were wiser they would make more of their advantage* in this waj. No grown person can associate on terms of loving familiarity with hii children without having his mind enlarged, hia faculties trained to higher efficiency and hU soul made better and sweeter by their converse. Th« Fh«raob» of Modern Time*— RoraeUnirs 4'aplial and HutniUmu labor aud Olicu the Wife neater. ODD wills have been sustained by the courts these many years. There • was Theluason's will often quoted, t which left £600,000 to accumulate' through the lives of his eona and frand&ons, the accumulated property to be paid to his oldest great-grandson on the death of tho nons and grandt-ona, or else to be conveyed to the sinking fund for tho payment of the British national debt. It was calculated that the accumulations would ' amourrt to £19,000,000 by the time it tell duo, but there. wa» much litigation over the matter, and the oldest great-grandson received only about the original £600, MAKT persons in forming and in carrying out their ideas of justice fail to take account of the element of time. They intend to deal justly with every ©ne» to withhold from no ono his due, i to fulfil every obligation and satisfy every claim; but they feel no special duty to hasten these acts of justice. 1 If they are done eventually, they are I content, and *bink that others should be content at«o. The hours, or days, or weeks that may elapse between the claim and their fulfilment of it do not seem to them very important if it is but ultimately discharged. They would not for the world evade a debt but the? will delay ita payment without any compunction. There are of course eases where this may be unattended with any apparent evil results; but there are others where inconvenience ensues, and still others where suffering and loss is entailed BROOKLYN, N. Y., NOV. 1, 1891.— The Tabernacle was thronged as usual this morning. The vast euitice tilled to its utmost rapacity with eager listeners shows how the popular preacher retains his power over the people. Although he hiia been preuchintf iu Brooklyn for more than twenty-four years, his audiences were never so large as now, and although toe largest Protebta.nt churvh in America has been built for him there never was a time when so many persons were turned away for iackjtff room. The subject of thin momma's be r in on was "liricks Without fetrJw," a continuation of the series on trVeicontinuation of Holy fcicripture whicTiH^r. Talmape found iu hie* journey from trie Pyramids to the Acropolis. His text was, Isaiah IU : i : "The burdeuof Kgypt" In this course of t-ermons I am only serving you as footman, and clearing the way for you^ciuming into the wonders of Egyptology, A subject that I would have ynu study far beyond anything" that rim be t>uid in the brevity of pulpit u iterances. Two hundred and eighty-nine times dues the bible refer to Kgypt and the Egyptians. .No wonder, for Egypt was the mother of nations. Egypt, the mother or Greece; Greece, th«! mother of Home; Rome,the mother of England; England, the mother of our own land. According to that Egypt is our great-gnat-grandmother. On other fcabbaths i left you studying what they must have been in their fflorv; the HypoBtyle Hall of Karnac, the architectural miracles at Luxor, the colonnade of Horemheb, the cemeteries of Memphis, the value of a kingdom in one monument, the Sphinx, which with lips of stone speaks loud enough to be heard across tho centuries, Heliopolis and Zoan, the conundrum of archaeologists. Hut all that extravagance of palace and temple and monument was the cause of an oppression high as heavsn, and deep as hell. The weight of those blocks of stone heavier than any modern machinery could lift came down upon the Hebrew slaves, and their blood mixed the mortar for the trowels. We MIW again aud a#ain on aud the Nile a hoe-% workman v smite a subordinate who d'd not pi >--e him. It is no rare occurrence ' t long lines of men under heav\ . . , uens passing by task-masters at slu i t distances, lushing them as they g«> by into greater speed ami then these workmen, exhausted with the blasting heats of the day, lying down upon the bare ground, suddenly chilled with the night hir, crying out in prayer; "Va Allah!" "Va! Allahl" which means Oh! dod! Oh! (iod! lUit what must have been the olden times cruelty shown by the Egyptians toware^ their ieraelitish slaves is indicated by a picture in the lteni-Has- Ean tombs, where a man is held down on his face by two men and another holds up the victim's feet while the officials beat the bare back of the victim, every stroke, 1 have no doubt, fetching the blood. Now you see how the* Pharaohs could afford to build such costly works. It cost them nothing for wages, nothing but the tears and blood of the toilers, and tears and blood are a cheap drink for devil* "l!rick» without straw" may not suggest so much hardship nntil you know that the bricks were usually made with "crushed straw,* straw crushed by the feet of tho oxen in the threshing, and, this crushed straw denied to the workmen, Uiey had to pi. k up here and there a piece of stubbly or gather rushes from the waterside. This story of the bible is confirmed by the faet that many,of the brick walls of Egypt have on the lower layers brick maae with straw, Lut the higher layers of brick made out of rough straw, or rushes from the river bank, the truth of the book of Exodus thus written in the brick walls discovered by the modern explorers. That governmental outrage has always been a characteristic of Egyptian rulers. Taxation to the point of starvation was the Egyptian rule in the bible times as well as it is in our own time. A modern traveler gives the figures concerning the cultivation of seventeen acres, the value of the yield of the field stated in piastres- Produce ista Expenses tfu-i Cl«r produce. Taxi* 4*1 words have a nruoh larger and more important mission than is usually supposed. They are much more than mere sweetness of daily life; they prepare the way for every kind of intercourse that may be necessary and facilitate its aim. Take, tor instance, the case in which it is often thought best to dispense with kind words— that of one who is called upon to criticise or to reprove. The manner of • doing this delicate task frequently nnkes all the difference in the way it Is received, (iiven with kindly foel- Ings and couched in kind words, it ivricM with it a power en the heart that can never bo oxerVxl by cold eevemy or hot anger. If tho purpose of reproof oe thi* good of the offender, not the outlet of indignant displeasure, no medium can be found so favorab'o as the earnont and kindly speechj that, betrays sympathy, compassion hope. A^ Amount rlenird by the farmer HIJS Or, as my authority declares, 70 per cent, of what the I gyptian farmer j makes, is paid for taxes to the govern- j ment. Now, that is not so much taxation a* assassins tion. \N hat think you of that ? Y ou who groan v ader heary taxes in America ? I heard that in Effvpt the working people have a song hke this: "They starve us, they starve us, they beat us, they beat us, but there's Fomi one above, there's some one above, who will punish them well, who will punish them welL" Hut 70 per cent, of government tax in hjrvpt is a mercy as compared to what the Hebrew slaves sneered there in bible time*. They got noth ing but food hardly fit for a dog and their clothing wan of une rag and their roof a burning sky by day and the titan of ht*aven by ni^ht Von say • w h y did they stami it " licrausethey had to stand it ^ ou s^e along- back in the world's twilight there wan a famine in ( anaan, and old >>a«<ol>and his sons caine to bgypt for bread. The old man's boy .loseph wait T'nmeAl mister aud .losoph— I suppose the father amFthe brothers called him Jos. for it does not make any difference how much a boy is advanced in worldly fcucc«/«, his father and brothers and sisters always call him by the same name that he was called by when 'i yeurs old—Joseph, by Pharaoh's periuiaMon, gave to his family, who had just arrived, tho richest part of " Egypt, the Westcheater farms or the Lancaster farms of the ancieuta. Jacob* descendants rapidly multiplied. After awhile Egypt took a turu at fu-uiinu. and those descendants of Jucoo the Israelites, came to a great store-house which Jo-eph had provided, aud paid in money for corn. Hut after awhile the money gave out and then they paid In cattle. After awhile theeatUe were all in possession of the government and then the Hebrews bought corn from tne government uy surrendering themselves as slaves. Then began slavery in Egypt. The government owued all the Hebrews. And let modern lunatics,who in America propose handing over telegraph companies and i ail roads and other things to be run bv the government, see the folly of letting the government tret its hand on everything. 1 would rather trust the people than any government the United States ever had or will have. Woe worth the day when legislators and congresses and administrations get possession of anything more than it is necessary for them to have. That would be the revival in this land of that old Egyptian tyranny for which (iod has never hud anything but red-hot thunderbolts. • But through such unwise processes | Israel was enslaved in Egypt, and tho j Ion? line of agonies begau till up ami down the Nile. Heavier and sharper [ fell the lash, hungrier und ghastlier grew the workmen, louder and longer went up the prayer, until three millions of the enslaved were crying, "Ya! Allah! Ya! Allah!" Ohl Uodl Oh! God! Where was help to come from? Not the throne. Pharaoh sat upon that. Not the array, Pharaoh's officers commanded that Not surrounding nations, Pharaoh's threat made them all i tremble. Not tho gods Ammon and j Osiris, or the goddess lsis, for Pharaoh ' built their temples out of the groans ] of this diabolical servitude. But one hot day the Princess Thonoris, the daughter of Pharaoh, while in her ! bathing-house on the banks of tho Nile { has word brought her that there is a baby afloat on the river in a cradle j made out of big leaves. Of course there is excitement all up and down the banks, for an ordinary baby in an ordinary cradle attracts smiling attention, but nn infant in a cradle of papyrus rocking ou a river arouses not only admiration but curiosity. Who made that boat? A'hat made it watertight with bitumen? \\ ho launched it? Reckless of the crocodiles who lay oasking themselves iu. the sun, the inuulens wade in und snatch up the child, and first one carries him and then another carries him and all the way up the bank he run* a gauntlet of caresses, till Thonoris rushes out of the bathinghouse and says: "Beautiful foundling, I will adopt you as my own. ^ ou I shall yet wenr the Egyptian crown and ] sit on tue Egyptian throne.' No; No No! He is to bathe emancipator of ' the Hebrews. Tell it among ail those who ure writhing under the lash, tell it araoug all the castles of Memphis and Heliopolis and Zoan and 'lueues. Before him a sea will part But, Moses, ure you yointr to undertake the impossibilities? You feel that you are Koing- to free the liebre -vs 1rom bondage: But where is your anny?

The snow storing are ou (iou s side: v^itness the snow 1 anks iu which the French army of invasion were buried on their way back from Moscow. The ruin is on his side: witness the l!*th of June at Waterloo when the temp fits so saturated the road that the attack could not be made on Wellington's forces until 1' o'clock and he was strong enough to hold out until reinforcements arrived. Had that battle been opened at 5 o'clock in the mornru? instead of at II the destiny of Europe would have been turned the wrong way. The heavy rain decided everything, bo also are the winds and the waves on God's side; witness the Armada with I'SO ships and 'J,h.">uguns and «.00o sailors and 'ji .(X>0 soldiers sent out by Philip 11. of Spain to conquer England. After three days' march the lsraelitish refugees encamped for the night on the banks of the l:e<l sea. As the shadows begin to full, in the distance is seen the host of 1 haraoh in pursuit There were noo finest war chariots followed by common chariots roiling at full speed. And the glittering of of the wheels and the curse of infuriated Egyptians came down with the t darknvA*. Hut the 1-ord opened the cry&tal gates of Bahr-rei-Kulzum aud the enslaved Israelites phased into liberty and then the crystal ffutea of the tea rolled shut against the Egyptian pursuers. . It wau about 2 o clock in the morningwhen the interlocked axle tiees of the Egyptian chariot* could n o t m o o an i inch either way. Hut the lied tea unhitched the horses, and unhelmeted [ the warriors, und left the proud host' a wreck on the Arabian sands. Then j two choruse* arose, and Moees led the men in the one. and Viram led the women in the other, a d the women | beat time with their feet. The record i Kays: "All the women went out after her with timbiels and with dances. And Mi ram answered them, teing ye to the Ivord, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the MM." Hut in all departments there are Pharaohs; sometimes capital a Pharaoh and sometime* labor a Paaraoh. When capital prospers* and makes lar^e j ercentsge on its investment, nnd declines to consider the need a of the operatives, and treats them aa so many hum.tn --tnaehipea, -their nerves no more than the bands on the factory wheel—then capital is a Pharaoh.

She usually had her own tenta and details of men to help her keep tha Boup-kottles £oin£r. bha was accuatomed to go where she pleased, just when Bhe pleased, and as nearly all the soldiers knew her and her good works, and many of them had enjoyed a tin of Houp from her kettles that were always full, no one thought of challenging her. 4'Who goes there?1' "Mother Bickerdyke," was the answer, and that was enough, liut there came a lot of new recruits into camp at one point who knew nothing of Mother Bickerdyke or her good deeds. One of those was placed on duty where Mother Bukerdy*© was compelled to pass on her rounds among the hospitalH. One dark eight she returned at a_ ate hour. A new guard was passing his ,<PHt not far from her little group of t^ntn. As she approached he challenged her:— "Halt! Who tf<>68 there?11 ••Mother Bickerdyke," the answered" cheerily.

She was physically a very powerful woman, and quick as a flash she sprang upon him, sent his gun in one direction and himself whirling in another. "I think hereafter you'll know who Mother Blcicerdyko is!" was her comment aa she passed on and entered her tent. The poor fellow had been taken entirely by surprise, and spent the rest of his time till relieved from duty in searching for his gun, but was unable to find it till duyligrht next morning.

These dispatches state that ut Peruambuco there is general discontent on all sides ut Da Fouseca's action, liut there is nothing hi them to show that tbo people have done anything further than to express their i disapprobation of the course followed by \ the dictator. From the province of Rio I Grande do Sul. however, comes intelligence that is alarming in iUs nature. The i news from this province is to the effect I that the local government has refuaed to 1 acquiesce in the assumption by Da Fouseca ! of the powers of a dictator and hus declared the independence of the province. The dispatches received later from Pernumbuco further state that there is great ; discontent throughout »11 the provinces of 1 Brazil. j A still later dispatch just received from j Pernambuco says' that the province of j Graopana has declared its independence of the Brazilian, republic and that the province of Bahia is expected to also throw off the yoke of allegiance to the republic. This action is due to dissatisfaction at the assumption of dictatorial powers by President Fonsoca. There is no doubt that the situation of affa(rs. iti Hra/.il ure rapidly approaching a r.oiui whtsre a resort to arms wiU be necessary Ui establish the position of dictator. Thought She Was Still a Slave. The court of appeals of Kansas City, Mo., hes handed down a decision grantiug Eda Hickman a uew trial iu her case against the Hickman estate. Eda vas a slave of Joseph Hickraan, of Moniteau county, Mo., and her master had managed to keep from her the fact that the Negroes had been emancipated and for almost '25 years had made her work on his farm without remuneration. She finally discovered that she was a free woman and entered su.t to recover $1,500 which she claims is due her for her services during the last 25 years. The first trial awarded her half ;he amount, but the circuit court reversed the decision. But the court of uppeals reversed the decision of the circuit court aud remanded the case for a new trial. llnurninni Corn and Potato Yield*. — The statistical-return* of 4b& departmentof agriculture of the United States for No* vember make the corn crop one of the largest in volume ever reported. The highest rate of yield as estimated appears in New'KngUml, lrom 35 to 40 bushels per acre; in the south tbe range is from 11 in Florida to v.'5 in Maryland; while in the surplus corn states the figures are as follows: Ohio aa.7.

The October condition of potatoes has not been equaled since 1880, and the average yield according to these preliminary estimates has not been surpassed in the past. Seventy-xeven Were Drowned. Information has been received of a cyclone which passed over the Andaman Islands, situated in the Bay At Bengal. The islands form a British convict settlement to which East Indian criminal* are transported, and the stojmer Enterprise, belonging to the Indian government and used to convey prisoners to the islands and for other purpose*, WM at one of the ports when the cyclone set in. The vessel foundered, and of her crew of e ghtv-three men only six were saved. The other soventyr- soven either went down with the steamer or were drowned while attempting to reach the shore. ii.

A Wonderful Machine. A machine which is expected to revolutionize the saw mill business has been invented by Thomas S. Crane, of New York, who has been at work for five years perfecting it. It cuts lumber without any waste, and there is no sawdust whatever. In cutting lumber with a saw there is a great loss, which goes into sawdust. The new invention is designed to cut thin boards and planks and will cut in different thickness, varying from oue thirty-second of an inch to an inch. No saw is used, the wood being cut with a knife placed on a slide, with another slide above it, and getting its weight from avery heavy cross* head connected-witfe-a-fed. Justin front of the knife is a narrow roller which touches the log l>efore the knife reaches it and steadies it. The knife gets its horizontal motion from this connecting rod and it slides back and forth easily. The difficulty was to get a vertic*l or draw motion, in order not to injure the fibre of the wood. This nas been perfected and the machine is complete. The saving to the lumberman is very great A New and Suect>«*ful Robbery. There was an exciting episode, near Old Superior, Minn., on Dulutb, South Shore & Atlantic train one day last week. A New Yorker, who does not want his name known, had been playing cards with a couple of sharpers, when one of them insinuated that the New Yorker did not have any money. The latter drew out 1600 in bills to give his accuser the lie and the latter grabbed the roll. Thereupon the third man, a pal of thief, seized the latter and told tho victim to call the conductor and have him arrested. Tho New Yorker bit, and while he was gone the thieves stopped toe train and jumped off. Conductor Sims and a dozen others gave chase and after the conductor bad fired two shots in the air the pal of the theif threw up his hands. The confederate escaped and took tbe money with him. TOOK THE TREASURE. A BAND OP THIEVES CAPTURE A 6PLINOIO PRIZE. Tbe Haul Figures up In the burbuod or 8100,000 and the H»Itm (or Oood ITIeusure. They Were Bold One*. The midnight train from Chicago, on the Milwaukee & St. Paul road, was robbed near Western Union Junction, 23 miles boutb of Milwaukeo on the morning of the 12lh. The robbers ure aupyused to have boarded tho tram at the juuetion. As noon as it was well away from the station, in the opeu prairie, they stopped it and broke iuto the express car. It is probable that the total amount of the booty will reach *100,000, und possibly more, as the train which was held up waa the one which generally carried ull the money received by Milwaukee banks from tho east in tbe morning. The traiu hud been out of the Junction, about half u unle when tho fireman, Edward Aver.11, who was putting some coal into the furua<«, was startled to hear a uoise behind him. He turned arouud and discovered two heavily masked men clambering over the engine tender. Both leveled their double-barreled muskets at tbe liremau, und the engineer, "iJ.lly" McKay, with tbo injunction "Don't move an inch till we tell you to, or we will blow tbe tops of your heads off." Tbe train was brought to a standstill and both meu were ordered to step out of the cab and get in l.ne uhead of the robbers. They were marched to tho express car under cover und tho work of blowing open the express car began. Several bombs were thrown into the car and the explosions were terrific and musk have iiwakeued every passenger on the train, but nobody appeared on the scene. Thd robbers were not less then six or Beven in number, judging from the manner in which they conducted operations. The trainmen believe they hud u team close at hand with which to cart away the sales, which were taken boldly out of the car. The passengers were not molested. When the train iii/rived at Milwaukee the express car presented an appearance that would iud.catd that it had been attacked by heavy artillery. Every door und window had been blown out, and tbe platform aad walls were shattered iu half a dozen places, while the contents were piled in one indiscriminate heap ID tbe center of the car. Hlood Thlratj Anarctii»ts. Over a thousand anarchists or anarchist sympathizers crowded into the West Twelfth street Turner hall ut Chicago to commemorate the day on wbich their fellow anarchists were hung. It wan the most decisive demonstration of tbe kiod ia that city since the eventful evening of May 4, when scores of police west down in blood. Tbe speeches were extreme* and red emblems covered everything. The climax came during the incendiary utterances of Henry Weisswan, editor of tho New York Baker. Inspector of Police- Hubbard accompanied by Lieut Gibbons and a squad of officers in citizens clothes, were seen to approach the *U#e. They ordered un American flag placed among the flaming crimson banners which were conspicuous everywhere. Instantly there was a profound sensation In tbe motley audience, and the police were biased from all parts of tbe hall. Mrs, Lucy Parsons, who occupied a coair against tbe rear wall, shrieked out: "Hang the murderers of my husband." In a second pandemonium reigned, hundreds of excited men pushing forward, cursing the officers and seemingly only wanting a nod or look from a leader to precipitate a 'fearful spectacle-^ of— oar*- nage. But tbe fins was placed as ordered, and the "murderers of my husband" were not hanged. Knight* or Labor In Awemblr. The 15th constitutional general assembly of the Knights of Labor convened at Toledo on the 10th, The secretary's report shows that the order has increased its membership over 8,000 during tbe past year in this country alone, add that most assemblies are in a flourishing condition financially and otherwise. The most important matter before the assembly was the public school system of this country. The majority of the delegates present ate Roman Catholics, yet they placed themselves on record in reference to tho school question. Tbe feeling appeared to be unanimously in favor of the public school s v stem. *- MEN AND THINGS. The Walton architectural Iron works of Cincinnati, O., made an ossigL^ueut Monday. The Octnulgee River has been opened for navigation between tbe ocean and Macon, Ga. The Baptist laymen of Chicago have pledged themselves to raise $120,000 for city missions. Signor Crispi, the Italian premier, says Pope Leo would sell his soul to regain temporal power. Walter Locke.killed his father with an ax at Ozark, Mo., on the 9th. Both of the men were half-witted. James E. Lewis, proprietor of the Lake Erie iron works at Cleveland, died at bit office, of "heart failure." Tom WebJ>, a negro convicted of crlm- '•nal assault on a child 8 years old, at Sandersville, Ga., was hanged there. It is txiieved that the grain shipments from the port of Baltimore during the coming wfnter will exceed those of any previous year. Charles Warren's houso at Bradford, Pa., was wrecked by a natural gas explosion, and the boys, who were hunting a leak, were b^adly burned. L. IA Ford, under sentence to be hanged on December 1 for murder, escaped from jail at Magnolia, Miss., on tbe 8th by cutting tbe hiii^'.' of his cell door.

I did not even allege a headache, or any other excuse whatever, but tnerely asked to have my rival* In my own room. At dinner I knew I should not meet Lady Martin or tho Aliases Farquhar, for they were going to a ball at Noruury, and to diiiM with friends previously. "Well, Miss Thorne," said Mr. Gascoigne, as was his wont, when I joined him at halfpast «ix, " I suppose you saw my uioevs today?" "Yes, sir." "They have i;<mc to a I):'.!!, I h*'ar, to-night; so 1 am not tu be favored with their company." "I was not with them in tj:« morning." "And your muluul liking hus not lncreased yet?" "Annis Is always pleasant." "Hut her sht'T* are not? Nevrr heed it, ' never heed it! We'll check them in pood time. I've never had n, lady here before, and it has annoyed ihein a bit.

I'll toll tlumi thatwhen I v a n t any detective-work doiiv-c 1 shall not get a lady t»> do it, Don't be hasty! Now please siirj 'Bonnie l'rince Charlie' to HIP." I said no more, and the evening passed mi In the usual monotonous succession of music, dinner, chess. It was while we were playing our openin? jjii me that, fur the first time since 1 had been at St. Gabriel's Grange, a visitor to Mr. Gascoigue was announced. "Mr. Cavdcn !" the old man-servant quietly told liis master; and 1 recognised tho name Without recollecting at the moment where I had hnnrrl;t. Afferwimls I remembered IliLia r.u-quhar had asked her cousin how he and Mr. Carden got on together.- He came in softly, with the step of a man accustomed to tread cautiously, and when, in advancing toward Mr. Ga.scoigne, ho cauaht sight of me, he started. "Don't be alarmed," said the old gentleman sardonically. "It is only my new secje'ary. Mr.Crawford Garden- Mi^-s Thorne." "."You arc very fortunate, Mr. G.iseoigne, to secure such a .charming assistant," Mr. 'Garden replied, regaining his equanimity speedily. Mr. Gaseoigne turned from the eh<ss-tab!e to talk to the new-comer, who drew up a chair to his side, evidently familiar with his surroundings. I rose to leave them. "Don't go, MissThom<\" snid Mr. Gascoigne. "In a ftiw tninuics 1 shall want to linisli our game, and Mr. Caiiien Jnayaumsc himself by wa:< lmig u.s." S > I took v.p ;» nit of wcrl; <\wi slitfhed in silence, looking once in away, for lack of other interest, at Mr. C;;n!cn. I did not like *-iin. . Nay, more—for that is negative on'., — I disliked him from h h first entrance; nut my mind was too full of other tilings to allow this feeling to lie active, then. He wa» a handsome ni;in, with restless quick blank ryes, a thin- ijped mouth, small dark sid<v\vhiskcrs, and dark hair car* fuily parted down the centre. Al fii'st.1 djd not. heed at all what, they said, and. when "by-andT-lfy Xhrwnrrtsdrrfted to my -cars, they had little meaning for me. Tlie two men appeared to bo dis-cussing a chess problem. "And so the black king's castle is likely to interfere with tho moves of th;i white king's castle—eh?'' said the old man. "Yon will never do it with the queen," replied Mr. Carden. "Why?" inquired Mr. Gaseoigne. "There is not ihe least chance of mating in that direction. The queen was not in thei play, and the king lias his castle to defend him." "Hasn't the white kin? a castle too?" inquired the old m.m. "Not in any available position," was thn reply. "Oh, '.veil, r e has a knight anyhow! You're a good hand at it, Crasvlord. Now, Miss Thorne, let us finish this game, if you please. Mr. Carden will play with me when ie's done." "Excuse me," said Mr. Carden, rising. " I have a business engagement to-night. Ior.ly came to lei you know how things were going on." "And yon didnot c\nootto make acquaintance with my n?w secretary?" "I hop?1 to have the pleasure of renewing that acquaintance another time, I think, Sir. Gaseoigno, t h e n will soon be further news for you in the matTer we were speaking of; I did not und,!r:sUind tho lust inove. Good night!" "(r.)od' night, Crawford—always g'ad to sno you. Will you oblige by pointing out to Miss Thome your priva;;' entrance, that *he may know it in ca>e my fair nieces arc in on the occasion of your next visit? And, Miss Thome, briiK Airt<<v Jicmrtut from the library as yon return." I followed Mr. C.ud-n into a part of tha house which, being occupied by Mr. Gascoigne's rooms, I hadvUited before. A dirk staircase led into a Umx corridor below, and a door at its foot opened upon a winding walk through tho tall rhododendrons of tho shrubbery. "Mr. Gxseoirne is peeu'ifir," Mr. Carden thought it necessary to explain. "Ho does not liko his n ec, s to be, aware of my visits. We cannot tell why, but we must respect his fanciest, sinco they concern him alone. You and I mav have \\ good many secrets ti> share, II s« Thorne; but sharing makes them lighter, does it not?" I answered only by bidding him good evening, find vowing intMUaily that, were I Mr. G.ishiiigne, I would entrust no secret to this handsome soft-spoken man, and that, as Viola Thorne, I would ivversharo oue looked out among the dark: bushes, I n w • woman a figure among them. She was some distance from the house, but ahe appeared to join Mr. Carden in the shrubbery path. I shut the door-fl had no wish to leax-n aught of the proceedings of any one in the Grange—and, In so doing, a puff of wind extinguished ray lamp. In the hope of rinding my way to the library, 1 went down the corridor, but, having taken the wrong uirn, came to a stand-stiil by the servants' hall and the back-staircase. At the name moment an Miter door at tha end of the passage was softly opened, and a woman cam© in hurriedly. U was Mathilde, Lady Martin l'omeroy's French maid. She, then, acted iu stun;* way as spy for Mr. Crawford C".rden. I had ii.lv it\s mistrnstud her. bT)0"* m; «l''inois;-li<' rei|iiiit> itnythiugV" bhe itskc<l, with ijertdt aplomb. "Yes; I want to find my\va> to the library. Please to re-light my lamp," "It is strange mademoiselle has come so far out of htr way," said the woman pertly. "The library i^uot in this direcion—uot at all." When 1 re-entered Mr. Gascoi<*m;'s room, he made no r :mark on the length of my absence. "What do you think of Carden?" he asked. "it is early yutto form an opinion,"! "Xot at, all. Worn 'i' ulways form nn opinion on the sp:>t. Ua candid, if you pleas*, Miss Thorne." "1 do not like him." •'Why?" he asked. "VAmeii are not bo'iini to acrount for their opinions Mr. (iascoiiriic. I do not take him to be a .siraiirhtiorwaid man." "Ah, he's a clever man, a clevvr man ! If I wanted any spying done, he'd be useful. He thinks he has the game in his hands because lie is a lawyer, and liringn me news of a certain couple of ne'er-do-wells, once, my heirs, Miss Thome. It wouldn't do for Anni. s or, Hilda to know that I have any communications from that q u a r t e r ^ And I said nothing of MathiTde. 1 was glad to be set free that evening and to get t\> my own room. Since I was going to leave St. Gabriel's Grange, what reason had I to interest myself in those doings? CHAPTER VIII. I t it down by the fire in my own room to write ho;iie and tell them that I could not stay at the Grange. I was angry, proud, indignant; luu j e t at iny lieart sorrow struggled wirli iiu,e. It was iii!pu*.>iL>lu i,o put up with such in*u'.ts as Lady Martin 1'omeroy heaped upon m<*; In the piivucy of the Granre 1 had disregarded them, because of the kindness of Annis, the fascinations of the old house, and the knowledge that my father and mother would grieve over this hasty yielding up of such a position as 1 was hardly likely to meet with a second time. But such insolence as Gwendoline's before a »rranger and H gentleman was simply intolerable. My cheeks burucd as I recalled her words. The letter toon ms Ion? to write. In a dozen ways 1 tried to explain my conduct. II had been a strange week to me. this last. week in St. Gabriel's (Irani;!'.

I cannot tell why Lady Martin Buppohea Mr. Gaseoigne should require such service, but 1 will not stop to be eTen considered such!" "Did Gwendoline say that? ' said Annii wonderingly.

"How can a stranger, an u'.tcr stranger, possibly help you'"' "Betier than any one, if she were re-ally a friend. Do yuii think I cannot tell how strange a household we must seem? Sometimes 1 think the house it.seii inust be haunted, and I lie. awake and tremble as I hear the wind moaning among the. lir-trees; it seems to whisper to me, ami I cannot understand. Hilda is cold and antcry with me for meeting Ulric; I never se.) my uncle without fearing he has iu some, way heard ol it. Gwendoline is most unhappy of us ali; but she, will tell me'nothiag.

She had been gone five or ten minutes, and i standing, hulf hesitating, with my letter in my hand, prid»* rising against my last decision, when Lidy Martin l'oineroyentered the room. "So," she said tauntingly, "Miss Thorne puts on the tragedy-queen air, and demands an apology!" "Yoursi>tcr has misinterpreted me," I nnswered coldly; and at the sound of that sneering voice my hand tightened on tho letter I had been about to destroy, ami I met her eyes straight and Calmly. As 1 d:d-co, 1 could but think how lovely she was. Never be.foie had she appeared so beautiful. There was a flush on her face, a glitter in her brilliant eyes, and her redgold hair, hanging Joose 0:1 the crimson gown, shone in the glow of the lamp as if light was given off from each gleaming thread. There wus something magnetic in Gwendoline l'omcroy's loveline-s which fascinated even tho.^e who denied her ebann-i. "You a*;!; no withdrawal or explanation fro:u mi•?" "None," I replied coldly.

The season for bud roads is now at hand and farmers will be compelled as usual in many cases, to forgo needed trips and consume much extra time in getting to and from the markets, all owing to the bad condition of the roads. This is one of the most important questions which confronts the farmer and it demands his intelligent consideration. Good roads must be had—they are as inevitable as progress, and the question of how to secure them must be m et. —American Fa mi e r. ticket in Iowa ia not cheering for temperance people, but the complexion of tho legislature makes it improbable that any change "in liquor legislation will be made at the next session,—Beacon. ««*» There is complaint from al quarters of bad roads in America. There is also a popular cry of ''Down with contract penitentiary labor!" Xow, what is there to hinder the employment of prison convicts on the public highways all over the country? By this means in a few years we might have perfect roads every where, and such employment of convict labor would interfere with no freeman's trade. Working the rondn is the ban'e of the farmer's life.—Ledge, Columbus, O. A good deal is being said lately by the different papers in regard to roads, and road making, and well there may be. On good roads the future prosperity of the villages of the state relies. A village with good roads around and lending into ft will draw the custom of the farmers while poor roads will drive them from it. I t stands a village in hand, if they have not already got good roads to seolto it that something is done towards securing them. There are many kinds of roads that are claimed to be cheap but what may be cheap for one may not be for another. Each district or village will have to find out just what will make them a good road cheap. When the people once thorough- South or West. Many who live in the interior towns and villntfes have the notion that to buy railroad tickets to far distant points, it is necessary to go to the larger cities. Others, that by some chance or design they may, by gointf oft' from home somewhere and first paying local fare to this somewhere or other, they will be able to save something in the price. -Xow in all other business matters YOU will rather deal with those at homo and with whom you have acquaintance and in whom J you have confidence.

Our Foreigru Scribe Visits Eaton Hall, Interesting- Descriptions. l''i'o]i] tin.1 (jratiot Journal. My lftst letter left us at the break.fu.st table at the Queen hotel, Chester, August 28. After breakfast, X engaged a coachman to take us to Eaton Hall and to Hawarden Casjtle. Eaton Haliik.ftjiely situated near the center of an extensive and beautiful park on the river Dee, 3^- miles to the south of Chester. All tilings ready, we take seats in the carriage in waiting a*; the front, and are (lushing down the city road and Foregate street on the westward and enter through the east gate into the venerable, well enclosed, ancient town, with its strange, quaint old buildings and antique rows on either side. On reaching St. Pater's cathedral, which occupies the site of file mother church and "High Cross," erected in the year LiO, near the center of the city, we turn to the south and pass along between the rows of St. Michaels, whore wo .take tho broad, oblique Grosvenor's bridge, which \spans the Dee by a .single arch of 200 feet from pier to pier. The foundatian of the piers of this bridge was laid in October, LS27, and the gigantic structure was opened for public use by Princess (now Queen) Victoria in lAKili The arch is -10 feet wide—the largest single stone arc-hod bridge in the world, and probably will remain such for all time to come, as' iron is now utilized for such purposes at less expense and to greater advantage. Having crossed this bridge, we soon bring up at the tine resilience of Mr. Ewen. i dismount and ring the1 bell, and the servant conducted me to the parlor and took my letter to Mr. Ewen, who was yet in bed. Mrs. Eweii soon stepped in and invited me to his bedside. He took me by the hand with a warm and welcome grip ns when old acquaintances meet. He requested that Mrs. AY. and I would spend the, day with him. 1 Have von written * . v«t.> u you informed him that wo wore on our was lo Eaton ainrTniwarueiI. lie7 insisted that we dine with him on our return and spend the remainder of the day, to which 1 conri J liftel Jig-ent mhitirm (Ufrgest ;te to-day.

Tho distance is soon ; made and we are confronted by j the massive palace of the Duke of Westminster- said to be the wealthiest man in England. It is further stated that this palace is by far the most elaborate' and costly private residence in Grout Britain-- one of the nine wonders walls are of 'drab stone of mild, monotonous tint 450 feet long, with many angles, columns, arches, gables, windows, statues, porticoes, varandas, towers and spires. At first sight, one is not so wonderfully impressed, but somehow it grows on the beholder as he contemplates the vast design. The great court yard is enclosed by beautiful specimens of iron work of the 17th century. "The golden gates" belonged to the prior hull, and stand in the same position in this as in the former castle of 10'JO. Acollossal equestrian statue, in bronze of Hugh Lupus nephew and trust-worthy comrade of Wm. the Conqueror, the ancestor and namesake of the present proprietor, the Duke of Westminster—stands conspicuously" in tlio court. Opposite this statue in the grand carriage entrance, from which by a flight of steps and door-way of alabaster IS feet high and 11 feet wide, entrance is gained to the grand reception hall. The lofty clock tower is a landmark for the surrounding scenery as it rears, its four dial faces 175 feet high. The tower is nine feet and eight inches in diameter. At each hour from nine a. m. to nine p. m. each day the surrounding landscape is charmed by the melodious tunes chimed from ~8 sweet-toned bells the largest of which weighs 5,- 000 pounds. t't nutimuni next wo'k.)

Compared with the simp! eritea of leas Uivillzed people, our marriage ceremony seems a trying ordeal for a young and bashful couple to go through. The Cherokee form of marriage is perhaps tho Bimpleafc and mont expressive of any. The man and woman merely join bands over a running btreum, emblematical of tho wish that their future lives, hope* and aspirations bhould flow on in the tame channel. Between the mountains of India and Persia is a powerful tribe, amot>? whom an extraordinary custom prevail*. Women's, rights apparently have received full recognition, for the ladies of the tribe can choose thair own husbands. Ail a single lady has to do when she wishes to change her Btate is to send a servant to ]>in a handkerchief to the hat of the man on whom her fancy lights, and he is obliged to marry her, except he can show he is too poor to purchase her at the price her father requires. The way the Singalese and Tartar tribes have of popping tho question ia About aa singular us their marriago rites. Tho mtvn sends and purchaae3 the lady's wearing apparel. Of course if she does not like the gontleman she need not part with tho^contents of her wardrobe, but if herijp.ho favored one she readily does so, knowing that when the evening corner they will be returned to her by tbo suitor in person. In certain parts of Africa a custom •once prevailed (and may Btill) ot the intended brida bringing a bowl or calabash of water for tho bridegroom to wash his hands in- If he condescended to do so she them and thel acknowledged him as .her lord and master, and, moreover, drank the water aa a proof of lior love and fidelity* and case* have been*known whero a copious shedding of tears of joy and thankiUlineis Jioujmp.mioJ th-o latter act. In gome parts of India an extraordinary marriago ceremony is poivform- •ed. The bridegroom, bride and priest drive a cow and calf iuto the water, and then all three lay n band on the cow's tail while the priest pours some •water on it from a brass vessel, by which act the couple are joined forever in the bonds of matrimony. The priest claims tho cow and calf, together with all money the happy pair may give to the idols to propitiate them, as a recompense for his trouble. When a young Savoyard goes a-wooing he pays considerably more attention to the admired one's fire than ber face. If she leaves the billets of wood undisturbed on the hearth it is a sign he is welcome; but should she placa one of the blazing faggots in an upright position against the others it is a hint for him to take his departure. INSANE ROYALTY. Sril Kfltoeta of Coiisft'igutaoas Exemplified In Vurups'i Balers. The advocates of marriago law reforms found a strong argument on tho mental condition of hereditary aristocrats in certain parts of Europe, wherd social prejudice compels princes and nobles to restrict the choice of their matrimonial unions to a limited num. oer of family., The Grand Duke ol Hesse Darmstadt for instance, is said to trace hlfl relationship to every reigning house of Christian Europe, the parvenu dynasty of Sweden alone -excepted, and as a natural consequence that dynasty alone can boast its com* pi eta exemption from tho taint of hereditary insanity. 'King Ludwig, of Bavaria, escaped a lunatic asylum only by suicide; bis successor is an idiot. Crown Prince Rudolph, of Austria was afflicted with eccentricities by no means limited to his amours. George the Third had a large assortment of manias, unfortunately not including that of suicide.

With numerous illustrations showiny a modern dinner-taWe beautitujly decorated, a diagram of how to set it, and also wuch course separately, an 1 describing in a charming and explicit way every detail of appointments and service and tlie thousard-and-one little things that ure essential ro the success of such an entertainment, is one of the attractions of the December number of Demorest's Family Magazine, which will Ue ot interest to all wumen, and invaluable to inexperienced housekeepers. From the initial \vater-col»r, Ahead of Santa Claus, the humor of which all will appreciate, to the pattern order cm the last page, there is not a single thing in this splendid number that would not be regretted were it omitted. The beautisully executed full-page engraving, T.ie Mother of Our Lord, is a gem that is especially timely, aiui a Christinas hymn followed by a profuse illustrated paper on Holly*, Mistlftoe, and the Yule-Log, furnish in themselves a holiday menu that can hardly be surpassed. Women as Smugglers, The Conquest of Neptune (which gives valuable afarrSiiteresting information about divers and how they operate under water,) anp the second papers in the series The Romances ot Pre-Columbian Discoveries, are especially pood, and all handsomely illustrated. Then there are splendid stories, and the suggestions about Christmas gifts will be of great assistance to those who never can decide what to make for a present. The numerous departments are, as usual, replete with seasonable ideas, and over 200 illustrations enhance the attractions of the splendid reading matter.

The collector, after purchasing some tobacco, climbed up and went through the man's cart. Uncle Sara has charge of the outfit, now and the question has not yet been decided whether it will be confiscated to the government or whether tbe peddler will be allowed to take it back on the payment of a heavy ransom.—Livingston Republican. In Memorlam. Our hearts were saddened as tbe word came to us that our dear friend Mr. James McCluskey had breathed his Last. On leaving home the evening of Nov. 17th at four o'clock a. m« he bid his wife and children good-bye and started on his train for Michigan City and before reaching his destintion he met his fatal doom, he leaves a wife and three children to mourn their loss, and he will be missed by them and his many, many friends. He was widely known and highly esteemed, he was a noble, true father, and kind husband. His remains were brought back to his home in Jackson where he was prepared for burial. He was buried from St. Joseph's church, Dexter, Friday, Nov. 20th, 1891, where many friends and relaives shed better tears of sorrow. He was born in Hamburg, April 12th, 1860, and he was married to Minnie Armstromg, Nov. 22nd. 1882, and has lived in Hamburg uutil one year ago when he had moved to Jackson where be thought he had chosen a better lii'e for his wife and children. His wife ind children shall long listen for his footstep but the sound will not come. He was torn away from them in perfect health. He has gone forever, but the saddest loss of all is that which comes to his loved companion. The two were lost in each other's affections. The rashest act of death is where it tears asunder a happy marriage union. He will walk or talk no more with his chosen companion. She will turn her eyes towards God who has borne her griefs and carried her sorrows. May he rest in peace. Thankful are they to their many friends who showed their kindest regards and lent a helping hand. The funeral sermon was delivered by Rev. Fr. Golderick, of Northfield.

"German Syrup Here is an incident from the South —Mississippi, written in April, 1890, just after the Grippe had visits that country. M I am a farmer, cae of those who have to rise early and work late. At the beginning of last Winter I was on a trip to the City of Vicksburg, Miss.,where I got well drenched in a shower of rain. I went home and was soon after seized with a dry, hacking cough. This grew wonx'every dny, until I had to seek relief. I consulted Dr. Dixoti who has since died, and he told me to get a bottle of Boschee's German Syrup. Meantime my cough grew worse and worse and then the Grippe came along and I caught that also very severely. My condition then compelled me to do something. I got two bottles of German Syrup. I began using them, and before^ talking much of the second t>4t,t|*, I w*as entirely clear of the Cotfifh "that had hung to me so long, the Grippe, and all its bad effects.

A DANGEROUS PLOT. CHAPTIEB IX. I brought sal-volatile and water, and did all I could to restore her, half terrified the while by her cries. Suddenly she seized my hand. "Is H true'1" she gapped. "Can you swear it, that you are not here to watch me?" "Indeed I am not You are deluding yourself with fears and fancies and Imagining mysteries and concealment where nothing of the kind exists. Not one question as to the proceedings of you or your sisters has crossed your uncle's lips in my hearing. Not one word have I spoken or will I evern^eak of them that you are not all welcome to hear." "Have you not said to him how we treated you. how wretched we tried \o make you?" "No," I replied firmly. Still holding my hand, sh« gazed into my eyes with a look that teemed to search me through and through. Then she sigtied. "I wish I were like you," she said suddenly. 1%I beiieve you are hornet and true, I do ask you to forgive me, uud I ask you to stay at the Grange!" "It is enough for metliat you will be more Just and kind in future, Lady Martin." "I am speaking of the past. What can I know of the future? But no—I will be just to you. I do not think you would deceive me. I am not going to ask you, like Annis, to be my friend. I only ask to be If ft alone. Put yonr letter in the fire before I go." I crushed it up and laid it upon the expiring embers, uud it .slowly consumed away. When nothing but the b!ack ash was lel't, she turned away without a word and left me. For some time after this things went on more pleasantly at St. Gabriel's Grange. Qwendoline was not friendly and confidential like Aunis—it did not serin to be in her nature; but she pursued me no longer with scornful words and mocking looks. I knew she avoided my company, and I wondered and grieved a little, for that one glimpse of a nature beneath the crust of defiance made me long almost pityingly to know more of the real woman and sympathise in her sorrows. But, with the pride that will sooner meet death than se^k help, she kept .aloof even from her sisters. How could I, a stranger, expect to gain what was denied them? I do not think Hilda Farquhar ever sought Gwendoline's confidence; 10 me she never altered. While Lady Martin erased her enmity and Annis's friendship increased, to Hilda my existence was scarcely more than on the first night, and was contemptuously ignored; but I found that, while at the beginning her feeling had been all disdain, now a thread of genuine dislike was woven in and I felt that the blue eyes evaded meeting mine, but would at times rest a moment on my face with a glance of hatred such as I had once met. Yet, whatever innocent secrets Annis cherished, whatever fears Lady Martin' Pom-eroy could possess, Hilda had said there was nothing she wished to hide. What had I done that she should hate me? "Hilda," I heard Antiis say to her one day, when 1 was in the morning-room, ami she had sought her sister in the conservatory, "will you come out with me thisinorul in1,'?" "Where are you going?*' HI Ma si-k<-d. "ToUabrW'.'.s Wulk,'' Ann is half wliUpered. Gabriel's Walk was the path by the lake. "Ha*e you afkmiMr.(Liscoigne'scoinpunion- to go with you? .1 suppose you are going to meet Uiric, and you appear to trunk she is a suitable person to accompany you." "I shall not ask her if you go." 'Thank you. Do you suppose that I want to go—that it is particularly delightful to be your chaperou?" "Sometimes you like going. -Gilbert saidhe would try to see us this morning." "Do you think I care lorun the risk of offending uncle liiohard, who will no doubt hear something of it, for the sake of Gilbert Gascoigne? Pray do not imagine 1 agree with you because I have helped you once or twice. I think Gilbert would l>e far better employed looking after his bu^inejR," "I am sure you like to sec him!" o.ried Annis. "You know he does not neglect his work. I used to think you " "Pray spare me your thoughts," interrupted Hilda abruptly. "So long as you can get uncle Richard's companion to go with you, I should advise you to do so. Uncle Richard will gain a great deal of useful information." "Not from Vbia Thome. I am sure!" "No? You think she will keep quiet for her own sake? Possibly; It Is of no concern to me." "Am I, then, to tell Gilbert that you will not come to meet m becaose of uncle!'' ."You can tell him what you please. He probably knows you are well versed in fabricating excuses." Not nn angry word did Annis speak*. "You will notcome'"' she simply asked* "I will not," her nister replied. Then Annis came and asked me, and I went. Gilbert asked no questions as to his cousin's absence, and Annis proffered no explanation. But I determined that^ ere I went again, 1 must pauso to consider well my place at the Grange, my duty to Mr. Gascoigne, and the position in which Annis, in her thoughtless ea?er happiness, was p'acing nui I could not act as Annis's contidant* 1, and take thpM< morning walks with Mr. Gilbert G:i>roigne, »f »»n.v haunting fear of discovery b> my «uiip!nyi»r was to follow nu». , If. was very pl'^-int that day. I hadnever met any one who talked as Mr. GH.sroign« talked, who was so clever and kind and handsome. We were the merest acquaintances, and wore thrown together so peculiarly that our conversation WAS mainly confined to commoryilac*s. But I can remember now half he said that morning, the lively chat vhlch gave me my first impres>ion of Norbnry, the artistic eyes which pointed out aH that waa fair and lovely iu the scene around us, the lingering over the beauties of the Grange with a poet's admiration, yet With no covetous accnt. "My cousins are iho heiresses now, you know," he8aid. "I think they ara on probation. I have been on probation myself, and failed. Poor Annis will be out of it at last, and I do not know that I am sorry. Ulrlc has enough, and he only fears now they will say he courted her furtune." "AmTLady Martin," I said, "is married. She will hare hsr husband's home." It was the- fir*t time I had ventured to speak ot IA>T6 Martin Ponoeroy. Kven with Annis something in the strangeness of Gwendoline's presence at the Grange made me hesitate. "Yes," he answered thoughtfully, a jrrarer look in his face and in his brown eyes. Then came a smile. "And Hilda, you see, is to marry a duke; hut even peers are not always rolling In w<\ili!j. The Grange would be no bad dowry." We could see ihe turreta and tlm big windows and the tower through the bare trees aud I fancied i Jiat, though his tone was light, he was gazing at it half wistfully. Once it had been his home; It should have been hiy, heritage. How could h« help but love It? "How does business get ou. Gilbert?" asked Ann's smilingly, as we stood by tha old wall near the wicket-gate. "You ought not to have time to come out in the morning." "Oh, Ciirden Is looking after the business! I am not of much use, I am afraid," he answered. *'It seems very hard," Annis said to me, as we crossed the park, 'that Gilbert should; not have the Grange, because his father left him very little, and his mother's proparty was all settled on Ulrie. Ue had a le^al training, Ills father being a lawyor;so he wfiit into partnership with Mr. Garden at Norbury, but he lives with Ulric, you know. He is the bt2st fellow in the world—next to Uiric; ami tlmy ar^ very fond of each other. Ulric Is so anxious that I should tell uncle Kichard of my engagement, Viola; but, for H.Ida's sake, I dure not." "But what will you do?" I asked- "You must toll him at la*t." "1 do not know. I suppose Ulric will manage it somehow." And of Ulric she talked on untiringly until we reached tha house. » • • * » • • "What do you think of Mr. Cardexi?" It chanced that I asked this question of Annis as we sat at tea. I asked it a little hesitatingly, knowingthat I must not reveal my acquaintanceship, yet anxious to hear her opinion. "I do not like him," Annis answered at once. "I wish I did. He is handsome and agreeable, I know; but I do not like him. When we meet him at anybody's house, it always seems to me that he avoids us; and I ara sure we avoid him—at least, I do, and I think you do also, Gwendoline?" "I hate him!" said Gwendoline vehemently. "Misa Thorne, will you reach me that book—any book near you? And take up another yourself. We always n-ad at tea-time; there Is plenty of time afterwards to talk, if any one wants to do so." I rose to take her the volume, and Hilda at the same tims crossed the room to the little gipsy-table at which Annis sat. "Did you give a message from me to Gil* bert?" she said, in careless tones. "From you, Hilda? No. He did not mention you, 60 1 had no need to explain." "So much the better," Hilda said, and, with a perfectly cold, indifferent face, returned to her seat, ^ CHAPTER X. That same evening Mr. Crawford Cardan paid knottier visit to Mr. Gascoigne. Apparently Mr. G.iscoigne exacted him, for he had sent his nieces back to their ifrawliiLC- room after dinner, and, instead of commencing chess, had bidden me to play. Mr. Carden cam* iu with a smile on his face, greeted thu old man with smooth complacency, and me with much politeness. Perhaps I was prejudiced against him, but I did not like the »aft ingratiating tone of his voice, .nor the assured smile which betokened his own faith in himself. A certain flavor of familiarity lurked behind the deferential civility of his manner; and I thought what a contrast Gilbert Gascoigno formed to his partner, how with the one plea>ant friendliness was at once established, and, as U> the other, 1 was only anxious to be nut ofhis company. "Go on playing, if yon ptease, Mi«s Thorne," Mr. Gasooiifne said p rernptorily, as I ro.-e. "We need not interrupt you." So I played on, and tried to devote all my attention to "11 m>>to continue." At times the conversation came to my ears, and eccentric it was. As before, it was apparently of nothing but cness they spoke. They had the ches-s-Uble between them, and a few pieces were on the board. "We are about equal," said the old gentleman. "He has a queen, a castle, and a knight 1 have the queen, we grant; but you see I cannot check with my castle because of his, and his queen is sadly in the way of my castle too." "I think his queen might easily betaken." •'How? By the knight?" "No—oh, no!'' was the hurried answer. "Certainly not; but this way, do you see?" So the jargon went on, the two men seeming deeply intent on theirehessiuen, wiving the problem, while I, by a false note, took back ray mind to Weber. The half-lit room, the gleaming knights in armor, and the heavy tapestry, the glowing tiles of the ancient fireplace, and the singular earnestness of the two men, with their low-voiced talk, formed a peculiar background to the music. Once or twice my eyes sought Mr. Garden's face, on which the firelight shone. His paze was often er on >f r. Ga'wotfjne t fran A>U th*» hoard* though Mr. G iscoipne's was whoiiy <vut;»*d on the play. There was,a little pin le lurking about his mouth, seeming to say tnat he had arrived i;t the solution Jons; ago. Cartons fancies began to Hit through my head, a vazue phauUsinazuria to bewilder me. Where was this strange problem set w.iioh so eniicetifnued their attention? How .strangely. the»e ivory chessmen engrossed them ! I struck the keys with bolder fingers to drown the voices, and c:iose a piece which demanded all my attention; but still fantastic yet significant conjirmres and conceits haunted me. When at length Mr. Cardon rose to go, Mr. Gstscoi-ne sjtoke to me. "WLI you please take that lamp, Miss Thorne, and li^ht Mr. Cirden down the stairs?" "I deeply regret to trouble you," said Mr. Card en. I made no reply, but lod the way. "Yon must find your duties at the Grange rather trying. Miss 'IVnvne," he continued, pausing at the door below. "Poor Mr. Gascoigne is an odd gentl'iuan, but he is most kind at heart; and I know he values you hifftriy already.*' 1 wondered hosr Mr. C;vrden learned that. "I have tmnd him always kind to me," | replied. "AndmyftariersreTTotsaid; and then he raised (its hat and depart* ed. "Well," said Mr. uascolsrne, "havtyon m»» pented your verdict on Mr. Crawford Caxden?" "I have not found any reason to do so," I replied. "Isn't he handsome?" he inquired.—"Cer* talnJy," I admitted. "Isn't he agreeable'/" heasked.-"Inmaa»l ner, yes," I replied. "Then what is the objection? Is Its souro*3 discovered yet?" I inlgiit have answered that I did not AM prove the comments on himself passed b|* Mr. Garden. "I cannot help feeling it," 1 said. "Wlltf you allow me in future, Mr. Guscolgne, to' retir« when Mr. Garden comes? lcaunotda' anything for you while he is here." "Is that request solely because of yoar| prejudice against Mr. Garden, Miss Thome?" "No," I rejjlieil, coloring hotly. "Will you pleiiMitell me tke other reason?" he asked. There was nothi •>«? for it bat candor. "I cannot heip iu axing what you and Mr. Carden say. 1 c.mnot help surmising tai some way what y< >i mean. And I do no* want to know am hing more than I aoii told." "You don't wain to guess wtrets, don't) you? You're different from the rest of your' sex then. What have you discerned in our chess-problem'**" "I do not ihink itls simply chess," I said.1 '• tViiat else do you suppose it i&f" ha aalt-' ed. • "I could not help thinking, Mr.Gascolgne, that you wero speaking of teal poople, not chessmen." "And the real people, you imagined, wer© myself and my nephews and nieces?" Ue inquired. "Yes," I replied "Very well, Miss Thorne. You are perfectly correct. Now, as to knowing more than you are told, I will satisfy that by telling you more than you know. I have ft nephew, a certain Gilbert, of whom youmajr have heard, who ought to have been my heir. But he never will be—you can besur* of that 1 I shall not leave him a farthing, cor his brother either; and I mean to checkmate him. And with that in view I like to go over my position, and see the condition of my pieces, and how it is to be done. I brought Miss Hilda here solely and specially to checkmate him, and I mean her to do it, though things are not very promising just now. Oh, 1 know more than I am told—•• and I don't regret it, Miss Thorne! I mean to leave all my money to my nieces, chiefly to Hilda. Annis can't expect much ;^an she? Do you think her affection for mo rests on' her fortune?" "No," I answered. "I do not believe th«t< for herself she thinks or cares for fortune." "Very well. I say nothing till I know.) But, circumstanced as I am, what am X toi do? I know what Crawford Carden thinksF'I Mr. Gascolgne was jubilantly shrewd overt this, as if it were a Macluavelian stroke.' "He thinks I am going to manage it with my knight—that is, with him; but nothing^ of the sort. No, no! He thinks he has thai game in his own hands; but Richard Gascoigne is not in his dotage yet, although h« l.s an old man and a cripple. While that's in his heai 1 can make him useful; do you see? I can't watch the doings around me. myself, so I am obliged to get help. And' that help is Mr. Crawford Carden. He's ft good player," saidMr. Gascoigne, relapsing into metaphor, ""very skilful, and he tells me a good deal about the moves." "Can you trust what he telis you? ' I ask-', ed boldly. "Blind men are obliged to tnmt their guides. Would not you trust him. if you were in my place?' "No; I wouM trust no one who undertook tho office of an informer. Why not trust your nieces instead of this man, Mr. Gascoigne?" "With what result? Are they always quite frank with me? Are you certain they never do what they think I should not approve,' and trust I shall never learn? Can you assure me of that, Miss Thorne?' 1 was silent. ~"~\ *'If you rver find Garden—or have reasok to suspect him of—making love to my niece Hilda, let me know, for It's nothing but her money he would be after. He made my will, and he knows how the money is left. But the p\me 1« not over yet Do you think they likf» Cardenf "I am sure they do not." "So much the better. It is a difficult thing, my dear, to be an old man with a lot of money who can't keep a watch on the board, who is obliged 4o play blindfolded.

By his new invention two pounds of coal will do the work of six with present appliances. He says the plant will not cost as much as the cable system. The bicycle is destined to piny an important part in warfare. The' German Government is training some of it§ soldiers in the use of the wheel for scouting parties, and for the delivery of dispatches. I n a recent contest between cavalrymen and the wheelmen, the cavalrymen beat the wheelmen only six minutes in a twenty-four mile race, between the towns of Strousiberg and Wcissensee. For service requiring secrecy from the watchful eye of an enemy the bicycle possesses several advantages over the horse. • This would not be an act of humiliation, but of justice. The United States, ignoring the bullying policy usually pursued by England in deal ing with South America, has made a teinporate request for redress. But the moderation of the request does not signify that there will be any hesitation in exacting an ample measure of satisfaction if necessary. President-elect Montt cannot do better than act upon President Harrison's intimation of the urgency of the satisfaction.- New York Press. g The grain shipments from Baltimore this Winter will exceed those of any previous season in the history of the port. Seventy vessels have already been chartered for January and February to carry 350,000 bushels of grain, and it is probable that as many more charters will be made during the next month covering shipments to* all the leading ports in Europe. The big grain elevators of the Baltimore and Ohio railroacl will be taxed to their utmost capacity to meet the rush of grain from the west, and the railroad company hns contracted for the construction of a large number of new cars in addition to having all the old ones put into condition for the grain traffic.- -Rural.

Chili's » w President. Yesterday Admiral Jorge Montt was formally chosen President of Chili. There is already another President-elect of Chili, Claudio Vicurna, whoso election was, in every respect, in accord with constitutional forms. But Senor Vicuma is a fugitive. He was a friend and supporter of Balmaceda, and went down with that unlucky statesman. Jorge Montt, therefore, is, or will be when inaugurated, the recognised head of the Chilian Republic. Indeed, he is already in that position, aschiefof the victorious Junta. Montt hasr'it it his power to make or unmake his country.

B e fives but the second as he taken away IA«J first, and leaves us in absolute uncertainty whether the third shall uver be ours or not. THE government bears no philanthropic relationship toward its servants. Faithful sorvico to it nhould be rewarded as faithful sorvico of a private master is repaid, by honest wagea. To do more is alike unjust to the taxpayer and demoralizing to tho publio employe, who finds himself absolved from the necessity for that care lor the future which all around him are forced to observe. The great multitude of the people are wageworlcera and enjoy only that consideration which the ordinary employer givea to thoee who serve him. It were surely mo just then to ask them in their capaotty of employers of publio servanu to grant privileges which they themtelvea, in their capacity of employes, ean not hope to enjoy. A HOST difficult case to deal with is that of the highly imaginative child. He lies, not for gain, not to escape punishment, not to accomplish cherished purposes, but simply because he eannot help it His imagination is so vivid that it U really very difficult for him to discriminate between objective fact and subjective reality, between what he imagines and what he knows. The one is almost and sometimes quite as vividly impressed upon his mind as the other. The one seems to him as much a matter of fact as the ether. His case Is not unlike that of •n e in delirium, whose imaginings are even painfully real. In delirium the partition wall in the mind between objective and subjective impressions ia broken down; in the case of the imaginative child the wall has not yet been sullt up. ACCORDING to fire-insurance experts the cost of insurance must always bear a mathematical ratio to the attain* •ent s of those who invent precautions against fire. Hence tho construction • f absolutely fire-proof buildings, the inspection and patrol system and the development of fire applianoee are as much the concern of fire underwriters u any other part of their business. teems to have come about recently a sort of revival in the matter • f aerial navigation. Not only a re. vival of the efforts of scientific ex peri, menters who have probably never been able to let the subject entirely alone, but a revival of interest in experiments in this line and of faith .in its final success. The day is past when the men who devote time and money t« the following out o? this idea can be regarded as cranks. The rude philosophy of Darius Green, whose own attempt ended so disastrously, is still to 1M respected, ilia question, * 'The birds tan fly, an* why can't 1?" has never Wen satisfactorily answered. There •eexn a to be no way of proving that the thing cannot be done, and inventorswill go on to the point of success or to lb« end of time in trying to prove that it car. be. Their ambition cannot be demonstrated as chimerical and founded on absurdity as long as the fowls of the air fly over bur head* THE popular idea that Greek is a dead language is all wrong. It is no more dead than/the English. We are accustomed to think of it as having shared the fate of Latin. Thin is a great mistake. Nowhere, so far as known/does the speech of old Rome exist The language of the (JracchL of Cicero, and of Marcus Aureliua. lies entombed. It may be said to hare a sort of life in the deathless Latin literature; also in the languages of Italy, yrance and Spain. The I*atin nations show by their speech their Latin affinity. But even Italy and Rome itsotl Hpeak a language which would be "all Greek" to both the republic and the umpire. Not so with Greece. The country Htill use* Jae GreeTt language, OH truly as America 'uses the EngliHh language, and the few Greeks in our country, indistinguishable from the lUiliiins, use tha same language, with sUght dialectic variations, as did the people from whom the world has derived iu highest ideals in art and literature John. _fl'blta* a Thank* ; fi-tj;' - "ThankegiTlng!-for what?" » » —and he muttered tt curse— "FOP the plainest of food and an empty puree; For a life of hard work and the chubbiest clothe*?

THANKSGIVING KOMANCE T IS (JETTING late, Elizabeth/I guess y ou ^Will have to ge,t the cows tonight; I don't B^e anything1 of y o ur brother." s a i d M r>. Edwards, peering through the many-paned, square window that was almost cove red w i t h woodbine from which a few remaining leaves fluttered in the October wind and sunshine. "He thought he would be home an hour before sundown, but the roads are not/very good this time of year and it is a long way to the Nurse farm. You better go at onc« Elizabeth, it gejts dark early, and it is quite a walk td the Neek." . "Very well, mother; it won t take five minutes to finish these rolls." The shining steel spindle gave out a re s o nant hum; the wheel,great of span but light of motion, flew at the deft touch of her litile brown band as she tripped across the white, sanded floor, drawing a firm, smooth thread. Time wn that Elizabeth Edwards Ran.tr like a bird at her spinning-wheel, but now her work was done quietly, and only on the Sabbath, in the little meetinghouse. was her _xwcel» htrong voice heard leading the t«nor with a great, earnest forgetftilness Mrs. Edwards rose from her straightbacked chair and folded away the last of her me.nning into a tall che>t of drawers. She turned and ex imined Elizabeth's work critically. "You are a good spinner, Elizabeth; your yarn looks 1 ke mother's." Elizabeth colored slightly. Her mother was rarely betrayed into | raise of any living creature, ami to have her work likened to her grandmother's, who was now a "glorious saint in heaven," was a great praise indeed— BB unexpected as it was deserved. Mrs, Edwards considered self-pride a threat sin and she did not feel it upon her conscience that .she had ever fostered it in her children. Their childish love of approbation had always gone hungry, and she felt she had done her duty even though the "well done" that justice demanded had been withheld. ><> her facts grew grim,again. "1 will set the wheel back and put the yarn away, daughter; do you go at once." Elizabeth took off her big apron, tried to smooth down the rich, brown hair that wquld curl in spite of her mother's anxious care, who deemed it a "stumbling blor>k," put on her cloak and a small, ciose-titting, bla-k-velvet hood and started in search of the cows tirtat trees of primeval forest Htill shaded Main street, but they were almost bare and great drifts of leaves rustled underneath her feet or were chased in a "merry-go-round" before her. She walked quickly on, the I reeze ruffled the curls on her white forehead; her eyes—dark as the brook hidden from tha sky where the brown leaves fall—gluwed deeply, sadly'. now that she was alone and felt her face unwatched, a sorrow almost of despair slowed in the lines of mouth and brow. "Good day to you, E№abeib/ ' She started and looked around her, but could see no one. With an uncanny laugh like the echo of human laughter, a little, old woman hobbled on her cane from behind a gray tree in the bend of the voad. "Ah. good-day, (Joodwife Williams, it is you who are /•playing ' hide andseek, is it?" said,/ Elizabeth with no pleasure in her voice. "Yes. its me-' And you are going after the cow/are you? Well, 1 will bear you company a part of the way. I hear (loodwite Sylvester is like to die of her last sickness, and I feel that I must exhort her ere it is too late to give up her allegiance to the Scarlet Woman (meaning the established En glitm church I. She has been stubborn; I fear me she will prove a firebrand of hell!*' and she *hook her trembling head forebodingly. "That's a fims cloak you have; did you weave it yourself? You did. Well, well, what a capable maiden you are, you can turn your hand to anything. It's lucky you wern t b->ru in my day with your black eyebrows growing together, your close-mouthed way and charms in sickness, you would have been a fine figure for 'Gallows Hill,' " and the old woman laughed her spiteful echo of a laugh and peered at Elizabeth with her dim, deep-set eyes. "What do you mean by my charms in sickness?' asked Elizabeth, flushing angTily. "Oh, bless me, if the 'cap don't fit, don't put it on' I only say what ] hear, that you &re_a master hand in sickness. The whotQfcown knows how bewitched Caleb Green's little girl was when she ha^Dthe fearer; she couldn t sleep unless you he father hand." "Tnen say what you mean and don t bring up the wicked folly of past generations; I don't care to hear such idle talkl1' said Elizabeth in great annoyance, hastening her step*. "Oh, wait, deary," said the old woman, clutching her cloak with birdclaw fingers, "I'm not going mu.-h further with yon. How is your honored father and mother?" "They are well," said Elizabeth briefly. "Now, I suppose, Elizabeth, you haven't heard any word from Hecom pense King. I see last Sabbath his mother and the two maids have puton mourning or him. I would like to as*k you tvs a friend if you don't think you are wasting valuable time waiting for him? You're getting on, Elizabeth; whv you must be turned of the fust corner'—let me s«e, you was five and twenty the thirteenth of last June When I TVUH your age I was a wife and mother of four children. It's going un live years since Recompense sailed. You are too good looking a maid to be left kto dance in the kettle.' These seafaring men are uncertain the best of times; then there is no doubt that these pirates on the E;.fit Indie coast killed them all. They say those Godless pagaus are worse than our Indians. Your sisters are all settled in comfortable homes of their own, and you are fading, Elizabeth; my old eyes can see it plain enough, you look your age, every day of it. Well, here is Uoodwife Sylvester's. (.Tood-dny." Elizabeth, pale and trembling, hurried out of rench of the unanswerabl e maliciousness of the shrill old voice. Stung in every nerve, a few hot tears burnt her cheeks, but the waters of sorrow were absorbed in her pa lent heart and seldom dimmed her sad eyes.. She looked seaward—alas! no "white sail was in sight She looked around— there was no one near. Loosening her cloak, she pulled out a tiny, blacksilk cord from her bosom. At the end hung half a silver sixpense, warm with the beating of her true heart's love. She silently pressed it to her lips and her heart said. "We shall meet again; if not in this life, then in another, where there shall be nc more sea." It wanted just one week of Thanksgiving; the greater part of the preparations for the, day had been made. Twenty-four toothso:ne mince pies were ranged about the great pudding on the store-room shelves. Tue fowls to be sacrifti ed were feeding in a separate pen in great amn emeut at their luxurious fare. Once again the big oven was to be heated and one do tsn pumpuin pies would be taken therefrom, yellow and crusty. The olo, red cradle was brought from the attic It was fortunately big enough to hold the two youngest grandchildren. The spare beds were airing and everything was in neatest order. Elizabeth had no time to think of herself, there had been so much to do. She was weary, body and'soul, when nicrht came, and sank into her high-post feather-bed with a sigh of relief. She drew the snow-white muslin curtains and tied her little nightcap over her ears tightly and tned to shut out ^the haunting sound of the autumn wind and rain—the distant sound of the sea that weighed so on her poor heart—and -'Jell asleep with a prayer upon her lips for "those who go down to the sea in ships." "Poor Elizabeth," the neighbors said, "is wasting the best years of her life waiting for Hecompense King, lie was as handsome and noble a young man as ever sailed from this port, but there is no chance of his being in the land of the living now; if he is he has no netioa of marry rag- EHrabethEdwards or she would hear from him. There are others who would be willing to step into his shoes—but there, it's no use talking to hlbaleih, she is so uppish." Tha ksgiving dav dawned bright and clear, with srood sleighing. The whole town went to church and listened to a sermon over an hour in length, and prayers in proportion. 'Jhey sang the (ine Hundredth Psalm, and by that time everybody was ready for dinner, (irandsire Edwards was of the opinion that the children ought *o sit at the table with their elders; accordingly the dining-room was pie ed out with the kitchen table and they made a soberly joyous company. They were duly impressed with ihe good old savin? that "children should be seen but not heard," and any unseenly disorder was promptly quelled by the awful threat that "the tidy man would get them." Hut toward the end of the feofct, while nuts and cider were discussed— with something stronger fur the elders, for these were not blue ribbon days—a mild hilarity reigned, and when Grandstre Edwards cracked a joke the children improved tha occasion to let out their pent-up spirits and laughed boisterouslv "until a gentle rap of a knife-handle and "that will do, children," trora Grandsire subdued than*. After dinner AunV Elisabeth gathered the littlo flock about her ia answer to a demand for a story, and while the twilight came on th«T sa* before the great fire place as site tola* them of the giant Goliath and the brave stripling David. '< Soon A r. Kdwardt came in and tola them that an Kast Indiaman was comin* up the harbor. Sue was thought to be the "Admiral", who was a month overdue. Koon all Derby street w u thronged with excited citizens, and Long wharf was crowded. It was dark before she was near enough lor friend to reco/nize friend, and all waited impatiently for her to come to anchor. The Ed wards family had gone with the rest of the neighbors, leaving hli/ttbeth to her wonted care of tha children, who loved her fondly. She shrank from the arrival of ships that brought her no tidingn from her sailor. "II there is uny further message for me 1 will hear it sion enough," said Elizaoeth to herself on the arrival of the last ship that came with the news that the "Ocean Wave" had been! captured by pirates and tne crew all' killed. So this Thanksgiving night she tat with the little flock about her, the two youngest in her arms, telling all the "Bible stories ' hhe could think of and had just coznnuenced to tell the story of the little Hebrew babe that tho beauuful 1'rince.ss took fromfhia watery cnwller She heard the returning steps of the neighbors and their animated conveisatioa Their own gate opened and slummed to; the snow deadened the footfalls; fehe listened a second but baby voices clamored "go on!" and she resumed her story. The dining-room door opened suddenly; she put the babies on the rug to bee what wiu wanted. With a faint cry she stood still, her face white at death. She btretched her trembling hands,— "Kecomnense?" d "Yes, my own Hess! Don't be frightened, it is no ghost that holds you; could a ghost kiss like this—and this—and this, my own sweetheart]" Recompense King had a wonderful story to tell the two assembled fami-^ lies that night, of how the vessel had been becalmed a .il at night the pirate® came dowu on her. By a little stratigem he had inspired them with awe and his life was spnred. After a time he had made himself a leader among them and overcame their prejudice sufficiently to establish a trading port. He signalled the "Admira"l who wan becalmed in the Straits, embarked a rare cargo and after many promises to return was allowed to leave his subjects. ^.

''Cranberry sauce!1' he echoed indignantly, -'that-ha& no more thy rlftvog_0_fl a cranberry than a peanut has of » pumpkin. " "Maybe not," she replied, demurely, "but you see it gives folks a great deal more reason to be thankful for tho turke.y." Not Kenerallv Known.

He went by a tie pass, but when ho reached MB Mecca ho found the admission to be 60 cents, and ho had 2o. Ho waa too big to be admitted aa a boy and too proud to sneak his way in, so he stood outside disconsolately and looked at the naming posters prodigally displayed about the grounds. While walking: aimles&ly about he was found by an old farmer, a neighbor of hia at home. "Well, Alvy, my boy," said the farmer, "ain't you going in?" "Nop." he answered, "I just came to look at the pictures." But the old man was lonesome and wanted company, and on that plea succeeded in inducing the young man to enter the enchanted place. So "Alvy" saw tho Bbow and carried hia quarter back home with him. Long afterward, one winter even- Ing, when the boy Alva had grown to be a wealthy shipping merchant, he eat in his study in deep conversation with Captain Stone.

OLE BULL'S INDEPENDENCE. The Grent Violinist Allowed No One to Infringe on His S«lf-Kespect. The late Ole Bull, the well-known violinist, was perfectly fearless of consequences when his self-respect was touched. As an example of this: The Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg gave the musician a letter of oommendation to her father, then king of Prussia, afterward the Emperor William. With this he went to Berlin, where, as directed, he called first on the superintendent of the royal opera house, to whom he stated hia miaaion. That gentleman was so patronizing that Hull could hardly stand it; but rveutually an hour was fixed on the following day for anothor oall at the opera house.

TOKONTO DAILT GI.OBK, July 25.—This it an age of doubt; especially in l-ejjarU to cures by patent medicines, and not without reaaon for too often havo the sick untl their near and dear loved ones been deceived by highly recommended nostrums that were swallowed to be of less avail than us much water. The old, old fable of the boy aad tbo wolf applies also too frequently to many of the specific concoctions for curiug the ills that flesh is heir to; and when a real cure is effected by a genuine remedy those who miffht be benefitted fight shy uf it; saying, "it was 'cure, cure1 so often before that 1 won't try it." When such a state of aft.i rs (•••£« it is advisable Lbat assurance shomu be made doubly sura, A few weeks u?o a marvellous and almost miraculous cure was unude known to Canadians through ihe medium of the Hamilton newspapers. It was stated that Mr. John Marshall, a well-kuown resident of Hamilton, by the aid of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, bad been snatched from tke very jaws of death, placed upon his feet and enabled to mingle with his iellow citizens with more tnan renewed health and strength and even that he had experienced Tliis remarkable stuteexcited tho wonder of almost a continent, borne believed, most people doubted although the facts were pluced so clearly as to wurd off tho slightest suspicion of fraud, l o investigate the very extraordinary euro und place before tho people of Canada and tho United States verification or otherwise of it was the special mission of a GJ.OUK reporter u few days ago. A close inquiry into tho circumstances first showed tbat Mr. John Marshall, whoso residence is 25 Liltlo William street, off brighter spirits for years before, rr.ent nuturally oonoluded to try Dr. William* Pink Pills, although Mrs. Marshall tried hard to dissuade him, saying they would be us ineffectual as all tbe others, but on April 14th —memorable day to him—<.Jr. Marshall began to take the pills, one &7ter each meal for a start, la a few days a change was noticed and as he continued to take the pills he gradually improved and in a little over a month he was able to take the train for Toronto and visit uu astonished brotherin- law. Now he can wulk four or five miles with any of his friends. TUB GiXJiiK representative paid a visit to the house cf the man thus rescued from a living death. Mr. Marshall's home, cosy, comfortable, wiih climbing flowers covering its front, was reached only to tind him out, taking a few miles constitutional up town. Mrs. Mursbal1, with smile-wreathed faoe^, and looking as happy and lighthearted as upon her wedtiing day, welcomed ber visitor and appeared delighted to have the opportunity of telling frankly and fully—while awaiting Mr. Marshall's return—what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills hud done lor her husband. -' "It was u happy day for me," she said "when Mr. Marshall triad Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, Many'a the weary day 1 had before tbat Look at all these things we bought, hoping they would cure him," and the good lady turned with an armful of straps and tacklings of all kinds. There was a combination of harness and attachments of leather used for tbe ' 'suspensory treatment," by which the crippled man was bung in tbe baru by his body with bis feet but a few inches from tho floor. There were enough belts, bandages, supporters and soles to set up a good sized store. i Then Mrs. Marshall showed a collection of ! crutches and sticks which her husband had used. The whole collection was a lui-ge and remarkable one. Mrs. Marshall showed a letter received that day from New York State, in which was a query similar to many that hud previously been received by Mr. Marshall, "Write me if it is a fact or only an advertisement" ' "Here'b a bundle of letters," said Mrs, Marshall, showing about a hundred letters i tied together, 'that my husband has received during the past two weeks, und I can tell you be is ouly too glad to answer all tbe letters cheerfully and readily, for he is anxious to pive yU the information he can to others suffering as be did," A lirm step here was heard ut the gate and in a moment u sturdy, liealtby lookiLg man of middle age, with glowing black side whiskers and ruddy, pleasant features stepped garded his restoration to health as nothing abort of marvellous. Tbe headquarters of the Royal Templars of Temperance for Canada are in Hamilton. At ibe publishing house of the order, Mr. W. W. Buchanan, general manager,and one of the most prominent temperance advocates of tbe Dominion, was found. In response to toe reporter's question be said: "Ob, yea, I am well acquainted with Mr. John Marshall. He has been a member of one of the councils of this city for about seven years. He is a well known ailizen und a reliable temperance man. About four years ago he was first-taken seriously ill and his case was brought before the order. Tbe provisions under which tbe total disability claim is paid in our organization are very strict The weekly aiok benetit is payable to any person under the doctor's cure who is unable to follow their usual avocation, but the total disability is. a comparatively large sum, only pa d a member who is disabled for lite, and declared by medical men to be entirely past all hope of recovery. In Mr. Marshall's cans there was some difficulty it is true; he was examined upon a number of occasions, covering a period ot upwards of two years. The medical men who examined him all agreed that there was little hope of recovery, but they would not give the definite declaration tbat our law demands—that the claimant was permanently ajad totally disabled—until last November. When this declaration by two regular physicians was made and our Dominion Medical referee, we paid Mr. Marshall the total disability benefit of one thousand dollars. He was paid by a cbeque on the Back of Montreal. There is no doubt whatever about tbe remarkable character of Mr. Marshall's cure. A large number of our members in this city were intimately acquainted with Mr. Marshall and called upon him frequently. All were unanimous in the belief that he was past all hope of recovery. His cure is looked upon as pext to a miracle. I have conversed with him a number of times about it, and he gives the whole credit to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and tbe application of cold %uler which is recommended as a suhs'.diary treatment by the proprietors of tbu medicine. He drops ?nto my office every day or two ana is apparently enjoying good health now." Tbo general offices of tbe order are in tho old Bank of Upper Canada building just opposite tho publishing house, Mr. J. H. .Land, the Dominion secretary, was easily found, and in response to the questions asked simply corroborated all that the Three Generations. There is a little lad of ten years living in New York City whose father . has lonff passed the three-score-andten milestone in his life, and whose grandfather waa present at Braddock's i defeal, where George Washington first I distinguished himself. The grandfather waa a mere boy of some fourteen years, though hardy and well grown, when he received thx kin/a commission and donned the red coat of a soldier. Afterward he held high rank in the army of the revolution, and died in this city at the ripe age of ninety-threo. I n his old ago ho married a second wife, and left a son who had not yet reached his majority, and who in turn married very lato in life. If the little lad of ten lives to hia father's age tho three generations of this family will have spanned 200 year* in this country's history, and he will be able to Bay at seventy-two: ••My grandfather fought with Hraddock and at the silo of Washington 2U0 years ago to du • Barton street, in the northeast portion of tho city, while employed as lore man for the Canadian Oii comiwny, five yeurs ago, fell upon the edgo of uu oil vat and uurt hH btu'k. Thinking little of the affair, Mr. Mat-shall continued to work on, but after a few mouths he became ill, gradually not worse, and in August, four years ago, became stricken with that droad dUeuse, Locomotor ataxy—a disease attacking the nerves and rendering that portion of the system attacked perfectly helpless, prochriued by the physicians to be incurable— which loft him from the waist downwards without feeling and utterly unable to move-his lower limbs. All he was able to do waa to raise himself by the aid of sticks and crotches and drag himself around the house and occasionally to the corner of the street on fine days. His legs were without feeling, pins and evun knives were stuck into them without the .sick man experiencing any inconvenience, He could take a walking stick and beat his legs until the blows resounded through the bouse and yet he felt nothing. During all these years of torture Mr. Marshall consulted every doctor of ability in the city, tried every form of treatment and took almost every kind of putent medicine, but without receiving one tittae of relief. The agony was frequently so intense that he was obliged to take morphine pills in order to receive a reasonable amount of sleep. As the months and years passed by, although the doctors continued to treat him in various ways, they plainly told the suffering m*n timt he <*ould not gev better, the disease was set down in the works of speciiUists as incurable. The doomed man was a member of the United Empire council No. ILK), Royal Templars of Temperance, and under the discouraging circumstances he thought it advisable to apply for the payment of the total disability claim of $1,000, allowed by tho order on its msurance policy. Application was accordingly made, but before the claim was granted the putient hud to offer conclusive proof of his total disability to the chief examiner, and Mr. Marshall was sent to Toronto for a specinl electrical treatment. It proved no more successful than the others that had preceded it, and a number of city doctors and the chief medical examiner of the order signed the medical certificate of total disability and Mr. Marshall received from the Dominion Councillor of tho Hoyal Templars a checque for $1,000 last November. One day last February came Mr. Marshall's salvation, although he did not accept it at first, A small pamphlet telling of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and the diseases they cured, was thrown into tho house, but it was ' placed aside and no notice was takpn of it for weeks. One day the sick man re read the circular and into the room. It was Mr. Marshall, who gave no indication ot ever having been a sick man, suffering from ataxy. Wheu the reporter's mission was explained Mr. Marshall's face lighted up with a smile, whk'h caused a responsive one to rise upon the features of his wife, and he expressed his perfect willingness to tell all that was asked of'hiin. "Wby,. I feel a better man now than I did ten years ago." said ho, cheerfully. "It's four years next August since I did a days work but I guess I can soon make * start again. About my illness? It was all caused through falling and hurting my back. I kept getting worseuntil 1 couldn't get off a chair without a stick or crutches. The lower part of my body and legs were useless, 1 tried every doctor and every patent medicine, spending hundreds of dollars. Everything that was likely to help me I got but I might as well have thrown it in.the bay. I suppose my wife has shown you the apparatus I used at one time or another. W dozen city doctors gave me up, I got enough electric shocks lor half a dozen men, but they did me no good. I lost control of my bowels and water and couldn't sleepwitbout morphine. During the day my legs were cold and I bad to sit by tbe stove wrapped in a blanket suffering intense agony from nervous pains in the legs, neck and head. Yes, I received from the Royal Templars a 11.000 cheque, being declared wholly unable to follow my employment One daj in April 1 took a notion to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, «arefulrjr following tbe direction* aooonv panying each box. Why, in thiee days I got relief and kept on mending. I threw away the morphine pills and the crutches, I recovered my,,app?tite and regained control of my,bowels and water and I went on getting better and stronger and now you see me stronger and more healthy than I was for years before I was taken UL I tell ynu I am feeling first-class." and Mr. Marshall slapped his legs vigorously and gave the lower part of his back a good thumping, afterwards going up and down the room at a lively gait "I weigh itiO pounds to-day." he continued, "and I've gained 30 pounds since I first took Dr. Williams'Pink Pills, 1 haven't such a thing as pain or ache about me, and another thing, I can walk as easily in the dark as in the light" Mr. Marshall offered to make an affidavit to the truth of the above story, but the reporter considered that wholly unnecessary. He earned conviction to tbe inquirer's mind ay every word and action, and there was no gainsaying tbe fact thut the cure was one of the most marvellous in tbe nineteenth century. All the neighbors bore testimony to the genuineness of the cure. None of them ever expected to see Mr. Marshall on his feet again and regeneral manager had said. Mr. Land is a neighbor of Mr. Marshall, living withj in a block of him in the northeastern part I of the city. He was well acquainted with him for years before he was taken sick, and pronounced his recovery as one of tbe most remurkablo things in all bis experience. "I have not much faith in patent nostrums," said Mr. Land, "but Mr. Marshall's case proves beyond a noubt that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a wonderful medicine. He seems to have exhausted all other means and methods of treatment during his long illness and all without any benefit but his recovery WHS rapid and wonderful immediately after he commenced using Dr. Williams' Pink frills." ^> Inquiries amoDg the city druggiMs"^i»- closed the fact tbat an extraordinary demand had arisen for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and that the claims made for them by the proprietors are borne out by numerous cures. It may here be remarked that Dr. Williams' Pink P.lls are offered hy tbe proprietors as a certuin blood tonic and nerve^builder for all diseases arising from an over-taxed or weakened condition of the nervous system, or from an impoverished or vitiated condition of th« blood—such as tbe complaints peculiar to female weakness, loss of appetite, inability to sleep, dizziness, pale and sallow complexions, loss of memory, tbat tired feeling which affects so many, and disease resulting from over work, mental worry, abuse or loss of vital forces, etc, John A. Barr. a well.known and^opular dispenser of drugs here, told tbe reporter that he knew of no patent medicine that had such a demand upon it or one that had done all tbat was promised for i t On that day he had sold no less than forty boxes of tbe pills, and since be received the first instalmont he had sold nearly three hundred boxes. He tokl of several cases of great relief and cure that had come under bis notice Mr. Wm'. Webster, MucNab street after suffering from ataxy for years, irom the first had found certain relief from taking the pills, and he is now a new man. Mr. George Lees, corner of Park and Main streets, after years of illness of a similar nature, bad taken three boxes of tbe pills, and v a s able to walk out greatly improved in health. Another case Mr. Barr vouched for w«s a city patient who had been cured by the pills of the effects of la grippe,after having been given up by the doctors. Many others had spoken highlv of tbe Pink Pills as a fine remedy for nervous and blood disorders. Other druggists told tbe same story. One thing worthy of note iu connection with the use of Dr. Williams' Pink PHls is the light expense attending the treatment These Pills are sold in boxes, (sever in bulk or by the hundred) at fifty cent* •' box. If y»ur dealer does not keep tbecr ask him to order them from Messrs. Fuitat & Fuller Co., Chicago, UL. or MeaaCft.

A Hrvult ol' Very Strong; Proporlloua ('aimed tlie Sudden Come Down— l'lxrlteim-iil Iu Hlu de Junt'lro. Itevolt In Hlo de J a n e i r o . Dispatches from Uio de Janeiro bring tho intelligence that thn opposition to Dictator Fonseca hus gathered sufficient force, to break through the barriers erected by tho government to hold it in check audtomuko itself master of tho situation. Tho uprising was so formidable that Fonseca considered it impossible longer to maintain his ascendancy und has surrendered his authority. In retiring or renigning, as he called it, he declared that he did so iu favor of Floriano Peixotto, tho viee-presideut, or vice-chief of the provisional govern meat of which Fonseca was the head. Whether tbe opposition will be content to allow Peixotto, about whom little is known here, to assume tho leadeiship of state is not kuown. It is not believed that he will be permitted to act as chief executive, eveu temporarily, unless he is in sympathy wilh the ideas and principles of the revolutionary movement. Rio de Janeiro is in a state of great excitement, but no reports havo come as yet indicating mob law or serious disorder. The uprising, however, had the effect of putting a stop for the time being to all kinds of business. The news that Fonseca had resigned spread through Rio de Janeiro like wild tiro. Everywhere it was received with enthusiastic cheers and exclamations of satisfaction. Tho provinces have not yet boon heard from, but it is believed from tho advices hitherto received in regard to tho growing opposition throughout the country to Fouseca's supremacy that the news of his downfall will everywhere be received with the sumo satisfaction as at the capital.

In a trial just concluded at tho Old Bailey, in London, Fug.,a criminal known us tho "French Colonel,'' but with many additional aliases, was charged with threatening the lives of Lady .lesscll, Baroness Bulsover and other ladies. Several of his letters introduced in cnuTt, make threats of "dashing to atoms'' the bodies of his victims by means of dynamite or other explosive, unless he was p:nd $'2,000. After the judge's charge the "colonel" suddenly jumped to his leet and, knocking down a policeman standing by him, tried to escape. He was hnallj overpowered, hut not without a severe struggle, in which he kicked and bit like a maniac. The jury rendered a verdict of guilty.

The effort to lemovo the body of (ien. Grant from Riverside cemetery, Now York city, to Arlington national cemetery, opposite Washington, will be renewed at the coming session of congress. That there is a strong sentiment iu favor of the movement among the. voteruns of the I'nion armies us well as among tho officers of the regular army who served iu the war of the rebellion is manifest. This sentiment is bounded by no sectional lines, but is especially strong among thu survivors of the western armies which (irart led to victory, and at whose head he laid tho groundwork of his fame-and won glorious victories. The veterans of those armies, as well as of the confederate armies, must fetl that his body ought to repose in Arlington cemetery which, so long as the republic shall exist, will be cared for aud beautified oy the government, and this feeling is shared by the survivors of the army of the Potomac, whoso later triumph* and grandest achievements were won under his personal direction tind leadership-. They urge that (irant was of the nation and that the nation has a paramount right, as well us duty, to possess and care for his tomb aud build a worthy monument to his memory. Over 300 Killed. A dispatch from Teheran, the capital of Persia, stntes that the Mujtahid, or high priest of tho Sbiu 'H sect, which is the predominant religious sect of the country, its followers numbering nearly 7,000,000, recently fomented a revolt in Ma/underan, a proviuce in Northern Persia, The govvernuient took prompt measures to suppress the revolt, aud a body of troops was dispatched to restore order and to place the high priest under arrest. Tbe rebels were prepared, however, and made a determined resistance against the shah's soldiers. They had intrenched themselves iu a strong position and a long contested und desperate battle ensued. The rebels were finally defeated, not, however, until -00 of thei" number had been killed. A large number of the rebels were taken prisoners, aud it is expected that summary justice will bo meted out to them. Among the prisoners is the high priest to whose machinations- the whole trouble was due. A<£ed Couple Miot Deutt. The murder of Mrs. William Nibeh, and the probable fatal injuring of her husband at Irouton, Pa., last week,threw that hamlet into a state of great excitement. When neighbors discovered the crime Mrs. Nibch was dead, having been shot through the head, but her husband was conscious and charged William Keen, a quarrymau living about u quarter of a mile l'rom his house, with the crime. The crowd which had collected by this time proceeded towards Keek's cabin, threatening to lynch him. Before the angry men reached Keek's, Constable. Kleckner hud placed the man under sirrest and hurried him to Alienstown, where he was placed in jail. Keck denies committing the murder. Mrs. N'ibch was T'J years old and her husband 70. They lived iu a small cabin on the outskirts of tho village. No cause is given for the crime unless it bo robbery and there seems to bo no evldencu of that. \V. J . Florence 1M llcud. William J.

"I shall be tsorry to lose yyu; but I must have some 0110 who can keep their own counsel." "I Kiv« my promise," I said slowly. "I think it Is unfair to your nieces; b u t ! will bind myself to respect your wishes." "Faithfully and entirely? 1 trust you, remember. As to my nieces, I did not ask your opinion; but 1 am much obliged by it. Now will you move?" "I beg your pardon," I answered; "I will a^k »njy one thing more. You have given me no commands, Mr. Gascoigne, as to what I should do when 1 am not with you. You have forbidden me to go nowhere, to know lio one.w "You aKude to acquaintance with my nephews. 1 give no commands to any one, Mis.s Thorne.

Except durin? the hours when 1 require yeur services, you are at liberty tu do as you like." *Then I moved my pawn, and tho game .proceeded. CIIAPTKK XI. ^Notwithstanding my conversation with Mr. Gascoigne, when Annis next invited me to po with her to Gabriel's Walk, I refused. "Viola," she cried, "you must not refuse me! What can I do? Hilda says she will not help me any longer, and I cannot go by myself. I thought you were to be my friend!" "Are you sure it is a friend's part to go with y»u?" "Yes," she said. "I am not afraid of my uncle. I would not give up Ulric for all the uncles and all the riches in the world. You do not think he suspects anything? He has not forbidden you to go with me, has he?" ''No, he has not forbidden me. I would not do anything for which I feared discovery. If I go, Annis any one who chooses may tell Mr. Gascoigue, so far ml am concerned." "Then you will come. I knew you could Hot be so cruel! Whatever happons, Viola, you shall n«t suffer; when Ulric and I are married, you shall live witli us and be my companion." Still I hesitated. "You have another sister," I said—"Lady Martin. Would she not go with you to meet your cousin?" "I have not asked Gwendoline," answered Annis. "But I know she would refuse. Mie says I am a fool to throw nway my liberty by potting married. Pour Gwendoline ! 6he does not know how good Ulric is. But the herself is married, so her real reason must be fear of angering uncle Uichavd." So I wont with Annis—not that day only, but ofU'n afterwards. Sometimes Ulric was alone, and we would all walk and t-alk merrily together. Sometimes, and more frequently, his brother Gilbert came with him. Was It not natural then that we should leave tho lovers, and should ramble together by tho lake and the park-aide? How I loved that gloomy dark writer, with the wtld untended evergreens by its bank, and that low stone wall, wJth Its gray lichens and soft green moss, and the little T>ostern-gat« on one side of which only wa3 liberty to us all! We watched the first buds of spring-time open on.the overhanging tie that shadowed the lane, the soft drooping catkins of the willow, about which the boes clustered thick, and the ash-flow«n as they changed from close blackberry-Ilk* heads into hanging clusters, and tho bursting green- sheath of the chestnut, and tho soft pale leaves of the lime. It was in that lane that the thrushes and blackbirds san? their sweetest, and a nightingale had its neat in the copse by the waterside. There the first violet opened its scented flowers, and the earliest primrose was pulled to be placed in my •dress. I have that primrose still. There never were found flowers so sweet as those that grew in (Gabriel's Walk; there never •were heard birds'' songs so sweet as those we listened to that spring. "What Is the meaning of the song Th«t rlrtjrs so clear and loud. Thou nigbtin>rale atnfd the copes, Thou lark above the cloud?'f I seemed to be living two lives through that sweet spring-tide at StGabriel' Grange. One life was formed of the strange monotonous hoars spent In Mr. Gascoigne's room, the other «f those in the company of Lady Martin Pomeroy and her sisters^ nnd those walks with Annis, One .day I met Gwendoline in the hall, in her brown homespun walking-dress, and noticed that she was alone. "Shall I go with you, Lady Martin," I asked, "If Miss Farquhar is not going?" "Hilda is iv>t inclined for walking," sho answered quickly. "I thought you would be with Mr. Gascoigne at this time.*' "Ho doe* not want me this afternoon. I can bo ready in a few mi mites. Shall 1 come with you?" "Why doesn't ho want you?" slip said sharply. "Am I never to go without a keeper? You can tell him, Mis* Thome, that I am taking my maid." As sl)6 spoke., Mathilda appeared from the Inner hail, and her bhn:k eyes glanced indolently at iim as she passed. I liked this French maid of Lady Martin's Itssand less; the bold stare of her eyes was at variance "With tho servility of her manner. She was n6t very y»ung, and she always dressed with irreproachable neatness, and was unquestionably cleverather business. Natural- \y I contrasted Lucy, frrsh-fueod couutrl- ;fled Lucy and her round rosy cheeks And respectful frankness, with this sallow-skin- Wd, crafty-looking Frenchwoman. l Mr, Canton was at 1 the Grange, and I wondered whether my prejudices were growing strong through s«v clusion in the old house, because I disliked more than ever his confident smile and his «a«y talk. For, as days had gone on and I saw more of this man, ray antagonism grew firmer. The idea that Mr. Gaseoigne's secrets were confided to him was hutef<*l to me; and he never lost an opportunity of reminding me that everything 1 knew and more besides was known to him, that we were in league as the old man's informers, while 1 felt certain that on his part "conlidt'iict\ s" was but another word for lien. I knew that he and Mathilde had met more than cmue a.s he was leaving the Grange, and 1 presumed she was also a spy, either in the service of Mr. Gascoigne or Mr. Garden— the latter, I fancied, for Mr. Goseoigne had a hatred of everything foreign, and would not, I thought, with all his eccentricity, sink so low as to encourage Hie t tiebearing of a servant. I said nothing of what I saw. Anything was preferable to taking part in the detestable and to me insupportable system of espionage maintained over tho tlue.; unconscious girls and the nephews of Mr. Gas- | coigne. I could convey no warning to them without breaking my promise to my cni- , ployer. 1 As 1 look back, 1 almost wonder how 1 J byre thuse dreary eveniugs, the perpetual chess of which I was sick, and which seemed to have absorbed almost ail the faculties and senses of tho old man, and I began to think sometimes would take all mine also. It chained my thoughts and my mind for hours, while be.'ind the play lurked the figures of those who were to be checkmated in the game of life—my friends. Once and again it seems to me even yet that I must go back into that wainscoted parlor, and sit down by the Queen Anne chess-table, in the high-backed chair, and watch thethiu white hamhof my master poised over the ivory pieces, or tlie fire in the great hearth with the history of Joseph on the tiles, the gloomy tapestry, and the shining armor, and the dark treacherous face of Crawford Garden. In those days a nervous dread of Carden crept over nv. I shrank from the touch of his hand, and detested the sound of his voice. "I fear," he said softly one night, as he parted from me at the door to go his windi ing way through the shrubbery-—"I fear Mr. Gascoigne is getting angered with his nieces, Miss Hilda and Miss Annis. Poor girls! • We must pity them, Miss Thorne. Is it to ! be wondered at that they should not always do what is wise? Do you think the old-gentleman is serioi^ly vexed with them?" "I know nothing," I answered. "What riafht you have to speak In this way of the Miss Farquhars I do not know." i "Perhaps you are wise, my dear Miss Thorne. We cannot be too cautious how we speak, for we might be heard. We who have nothing to conceal must be careful for the sakes of those who have much." He laid sinister emphasis on the last sentence; but I was not alarmed. I did not believe he, with all ills craft, knew of the meetings by the lake in Gabriel's Walk, nor did I greatly care. My worst fear I fought against for long; but at last it had to be acknowledged. Crawford Garden was trying to weave his toils round me, to make me a victim of his handsome face, his flattery, his fair speeches, his soft voice. Ho was a clever man, skilful, audacious, unscrupulous. I was a young ignorant girl. If my heart had boon still free and untouched as when I came to the Grange, I cannot be sure that his constant efforts would not have been successful, and I might in different circumstances have been brought to fancy myself in love with him, lonely as I was, and seeing him night after night in the presence of only the eccentric old man who reposed his strange secrets in us. In love'with him! Ah, Heaven help the woman who should love Crawford Carden ! Why should he trouble to entangle me? Was it merely prnir poxsrr le temps, or only the desire to tlirtwith any woman who came in his way, heighten^ perhaps by the antagonism lie.must have perceived in my manner? I believed then his plot was to insinuate himself into Mr. Gaseoigse's favor, and supplant the three helpless girls, as lie had already helped to oust the two young men, ono of whom was now his partner. I was safe from all his compliments and his snares, because I had given away my heart to one worthy of its devotion. I had learned to love Gilbert Gascoigne.; and,, as the shadows of tho ok! Graiige grew darker and the whispers of coining evil louder, he stood out brighter and clearer in an atmosphere of sunshine and truth and beauty, and, while I was with him, the haunting figure of Carden and the whispers of the old oak room faded and died away. Yet these two men, different as night and day, were partners. In Carden's business •Gilbert had invested all the fortune he had. I chafed ami fretted at tho thought,but that •was, woman-like, all I con!d do. Gilbert, in liis young trusting liglR-hearteilness, laughed at my prejudice, ami, so far as knowledge went, my lips were sealed- There was never a spring likothat spring, never a leafy June like that one in which my love unfolded. I could not help but love Gilbert Gascoigne; and, before I well knew •why the daysiiad grown, so aright, why lifti was so sweet, and why I loved the lake and the low gray wall and the narrow lime, I learned that he loved me. "How can you care for me?" I said to him, "What is there in me that you can love?" There was none like him in the whole world; but what was I that I could be j worthy ot him? j "You are the dearest and best and loveliest woniif.i on earth to me, Viola !" he answered. "But I am not lovely, like Hilda, nor clever, nor rich. I wish I were !" "Dear, I do not want you like Hilth. I do not want you different from what yon are; and I would not change your dark eyes and • your frank fact* for aii the golden hair and all the heiresses in London. 1 cannot live without you, Viola! Look up and tell mo that yon care a little bit fur me." And i told him falteriiuly that I did love him. "I rlo not think you eo;;Id deceive me,"* he- said, his earnest orison my face. "Thero to truth/u your eyes."' And I looked up Kudden/y a i l d asked him a question. "If ytu should find-any time-that I had deed veil you-that 1 had concealed anythinifjjEi. nu you, would you cease to iovo me?"' It was a passing thought of Crawford Garden which rose up iti my mind. Even then the memory of him seemed to bring a foreboding of evil that he, Gilbert's partner, Blight do us. I "I can trust you," he said, smiling. There was no fondness for mystery or secrecy about my lover; he was loyal and upright and true. I was to tell Mr. Gascoigne of rny engagement that same atternoon, and was to return to my own hoiuii until the few months had elapsed iu which the marriage arrangements might be made. " l a m not a rich man, Viola," he said; "but we shall have enough, and it will not tfike me long to get a home at Norbuiy ready tor my bride." : As for Annis, when I told her, she was in an ecstasy of contentment, and cried and kissed me, and said that we would both be married on the same day, and be sisters ever afterwards. (IIAIT.EII XII. It cl'ianced that I had no opportunity that day of revealing my engagement to Mr. Gascoigne. It was not that I let my chances slip, though in truth 1 trembled not a little at the thought of the confession I had to make. 1 could expect nothing but anger from him. He had trusted me, he might say, and in this way I tiad rewarded the trust—secret meetings with the nephew ho had bidden never again to set foot in the Grange, and a promise to marry him—I, penniless Viola Thome, paid companion and amanuensis I What was I that I should wed his nephew, descendant of all the great and noble Gascoignes! Who was I that I should defy my employer? If I had not cared for Mr. Gaseoigne, it might have been different. I knew Hilda Farquhar would be angry—though how angry I never dreamed then—but her anger would rebound from me. In all these days there had grown within me an affection for tho eccentric, solitary old man. 1 pitied him so truly—pitied him for his weak health, for his strange fancies, and his reliance on such a staff as Crawford Carden. It seemed to me a miserable life spent in those dark, rooms over the chess-table, till the player scarcely knew whether it were tho ivory pieces or the fates of his nephews and nieces he was playing with. Yet he appeared to find pleasure in it; and they told me that since my coming he had brightened up and improved both in health and spirits. He had little thought or sympathy for me; I must always be in my place at the fixed time, always ready to read aloud, or sing, or play at ch.es*, as he chose. But he liked to have me in the room, lie was always courteous in manner, and kindly, if abrupt, in words. Sometimes he would go out on fine days in his bath-chair, with his man-servant; but still he preferred that I should walk by his side and talk to him. Poor old bachelor as he was, he had spent his life in loneliness, and grown suspicious of every one, and, above all, of those who might expect any share in his heart or his money; he had quarrelled with nearly all hi.s kinsfolk, and the three beautiful girls whom he had in some measure adopted, perhaps in the hope of a brightened home, had gone their ways in the unconscious seliishness of their youth, never dreaming what solace they might have brought to the cankered heart of the aged man. So it was partly thought of him that made me shrink from revealing my secret Ho was vised to me, even fond of me, I fancied, in his dry cold way, and he could not have many years left on this earth. It seemed so hard to let him know that even another had deceived him. that lie was right in thinking himself justified to set a watch over all. I had been re ailing to him that afternoon, fnrm Armudah', fur, after tho Times, ho liked to hear a novel, especially those with intricate plots which took attention and ingenuity to fathom, and he would not have me stop till tea-time came. When I rejoined him, Gwendoline and Hilda went with me, and he told them he was too tired for their company, and wanted only a quiet game with Miss Thorne. 1 thought., as they turned away, that Hilda's haughty face had a harder set, and that her eyes as she passed me were more coldly contemptuous than ever. I was quivering with my own fears -and doubts, and did not notice greatly then; but I remembered them afterwards, when 1 learned that! Hilda Farquhar was hating me with a bitter jealousy because I had gained the favor of tlie uncle she had neglected and the heart of the man she loved. When they were gone, I learned the mean- Ing of Mr. Gascoigne's impatience. Cra.w< ford Carden was expected. On this evening, of all others, I felt that I could not face his crafty eyes, that I could not listen to his compliments, which were becoming more free and more familiar each week, and more odious. TO RE CON'TINVF.D. ARTIFICIAL IVORY. Another Patent JLatelr T»k«n Oat tot Making It. Attempts have been made i to produce a pood artificial substitute for ivory. Hitherto none have been aucceHHful. A patent has recently been taken out for a process based upon the employment of those materials of which natural ivory is composed, con- ! Kisting, as it does, of tribasic phos- ; phato of lime, calcium carbonate, ; ma^nesi.-L, alumina, gelatine and albu- ! men. By this process quicklime ia I first treated with surheient water to convert it into the hydrate, but before it haa become completely hydrated, or "slaked,1' an aqueous solution of phosphoric acid is poured onto it; and while otH'riny tho mixture the calcium carbonate, magnesia and alumina are incorporated in small quantities at a time; and lastly the gelatine and alburuen dissolved in water are added. i The point to aim at is to obtain a corai post Buttk'ieutly plastic and as inti- ! mately mixed as possible. It ia then set aside to allow th© phosphoric acid to complete its action'upon the chalk. The following day the mixture, while still plastic, ia pressed into the desired form in molds and dried in a current of air at a temperature of about 150 degrees C. To complete the preparation of the artificial product by this process, it is kept for three or four weeks, during which time it becomes perfectly hard.—Scientific American. How He Read I t Tho paragraph in the Baltimore Sun entitled "Must Wear Coats" reminds a reader of that famous lawyer and wit, Judge Pettigrew, who graced the bar of South Carolina many years ago, A judge had issued Jau order that all attorneys appearing in his court should wear "black coat and trousers.'" His honor, with frowning visage, accosted him: " Mr. Pettigrew, do you know, sir, that you are transgressing a moetposj itive order in thia court?11 ( "In wha> way, may it please your | honor?11 "The order says you shall wear i black coat and trousers, " yelled the judge. "I have on a black coat and trousers," replied the wit. • 'But," roared tho judge, ' -the order means black coat and black trousers." "I don't read it so," replied Pettigrew. "It also says the sergeant-atarros should wear a cocked hat and sword. I see the cocked hat, but I don't see any 'cocked1 sword." There was no further judicial comment on the nankeens.—St. Louis Republic- Bigt but bad — the old-fashioned pill. Bad to take, and bad to have taken, Inefficient, too.

HARTEK MEDICIN E CO., St. Louis, M a •I THURSDAY, DEC. 3, 1891 The editor of n metropolitan newspaper who believes that he ran deceive or blurt* the country press is sadly mistaken. The country press does a great deal of thinking, and makes no small amount of investigation on its own account nowadays. Xow the cold weather has come it would be well for those who have not already done so, to see to it that all stock have jjood shelter from the storms and cold winds, also that all farm tools ace under shelter. We have no sympathy for the farmer who grumbles about "hard times" when his stock have no shelter but the straw stack and his plows, drags, rakes, and binders housed on the windy side of on open lot. It pays well to have shelter for everything. The Baltimore American recently reproduced in fac-simile a copy of its first number, printed 118 years ago. In it is contained the evidence that George Washington was not only the father of his country, but also the father of advertising. In a few shrewd and business-like advertisements, onehalf column in length, George Washington announces that he hail bought 10,000 acres of land which he*1iad divided into homesteads and was ready to sell to applicants. "We'll wager something that G. W. made a profit on every acre of it. Not Luck, But Work. '•Twenty clerks in a store, twenty hands in a printing office, twenty apprentices in a shipyard, twenty young men in town, all went to get on in the world, and expect to do set," says an old merchant. "One of the clerks will become partner, and make a fortune; one of tln> compositors will own a newspaper,. and., become an intfiuntial citizen; one of tin1 apprentices will become" a master builder; one of the villagers will get a handsome farm, and live like a patriarch-- but which one is the lucky individval? Lucky! There is no luck about it. The thing is almost as certain as the rule of three. The young fellow who will distance his competitors is he who masters his business, who preserves his integrity, who lives clearly and purely, who devotes his leisure to the acquisition of knowledge, who gains friends by deserving them, and who saves his spare money.

There is something wonderful about these relics of the centuries long since rolled away.

It has served its purpose and its former glory has departed the old order of things has yielded to the new; and while conscious that society nowadays has its dangers and disorders of a different and more insidious kind, yet we have reasons to be thankful that our lot was not cast in those troubled times. This old castle serves well to illustrate the contrast, and evinces that the former scenes of violence and rapine are exchanged for fertility and peace. These huge and ancient walls, reared with such pains and skill to repel the invader the awe the lawless, having played £heir part, are abandoned to solitude and decay. Within these arches that once echoed to the clash of arms, the owl and the bat now makes their homes; while the rocks from the tree tops around seem to chant the requieum past. Standing on these aged walls o'er dangerous grim.

But a short distance to the east, and nearly corrected with this old, is the new castle and modern residence of Mr. Gladstone, built in 1752, grand, but less durable, than the old. It is surrounded with shrubs, trees arid flower beds, and enclosed by nice, yet modest walls. Near by the castle are two buildings worthy to mention, not for the buildings themselves, which are good, but for the use to wjiich Mrs. Gladstone has assigned them. One is an "Orphanage," where she has about 25 boys; the other is the "Home of Rest," established by Mrs. Gladstone, for old and infirm women. The park proper consists of 250 acres, to* which are added the Bilberry wood and AVarren plantations. It is divided into two parts by a ravine passing at the foot of the castle in the deer park, enclosed and stocked in 1739. Its banks and glades are richly timbered and decked with English ferns. From the elevations, beautiful views of the plain of Chester, with the projecting ! hills of Frodsham jand Peckforton to the left may be had. As before stated, the park has its running brooks and water falls. On our ! return, we pass the Hawarden I church, and now in a perfect state I of preservation, and withiu services are held by the rector, Stephe n E. Gladstone, assisted frequenti ly by his father, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone. The tine residence of the oldest son and heirapparent of the estate of the "grand old man," stands censpicions to the northwest of the castle. "We now return to Chester and i spend the remainder of the forenoon with Mr. and Mrs. I. E. | Ewen, uncle and aunt of Amos I. j Ewen, our genial miller at the Ithaca roller mills. By invitation, we dined with Mr. and Mrs. E. and had a very pleasant and enj oy able 'visit w it h t h e mr Trrey- \ made us feel very much as though ] we had mot old acquaintances. Mr. Ewen is a Christian gentleman and a scholar --posted on the general topics of thp times, English polities, social life, matters of state, history, etc. He questioned us with seeming interest in relation to our travels, anil especially of Mie country, climate and institutions over in America. It seems ditlu'ult for the people over here to grasp the idea of the vast extent of the l \ S. A. Their daughter. Miss Gertrude Ewon, was confined to her room, being ill from the efforts of a severe cold. She expressed her self to Mr. "Winlon as having a desire to see America. They, no doubt, took a special interest in us because we were intimately acquainted with their nephew, of whom we could speak with words of commendation. Mr. Ewen gave us many good hints about visiting Chester, which we intended to do on the morrow, and regretted that his delicate state of health would npt permit his going about the city with us. After spending two hours with him, I asked that we be excused, less we weary him with too long a visit; but he would hear nothing of the kind, assuring us that it would do him good, and he held us until twilight commenced to "let her curtains down," when we bid them a last farewell and returned to the Queen Hotel for the night, after a long and busy day. August 19, 1890. We loose no time this morning, but after an early breakfast we go forth to surround ancient Chester, once a Roman city, then Saxon, then Norinn, now English—not in style of architecture, but by possession. It is an oblong rectangle, being longest north and south, nearly answering to the four cardinal points of the compass. It has four gates—the east gate, and the north gate, the water or west gate, and the bridge or south gate. These are the original gates. Two other'modern gateways only have, as vet, pieced these walls, one of which is Newgate, arched through the wall, half way between Eastgate and the southeast angle. The other is not a gateway proper, but the oblique "Grosvenor road," a broad avenue elevated by stone and earth to a height equal to that of the wall top. This avenue pass* es out at the southwest angle and crosses the wonderful" one-arched bridge mentioned in letter 49. "We ascend tojthe wall-top at the east gate and proceed north but a short distance, when we entered the second story of a building connected to the wall to avoid a shower, which was a short duration and very welcome, as it laid the dust and washed the foliage ton brighter green than before, airl seemed to vitalize the atmosphere and the flowers, shrubs and trees in the court yard of the cathedral on our left. These walls are in an excellent state of preservation, and are, no doubt, the most perfect remains of ancient fortifications in England. They are from Kifoot.Jthk-k, having bannisters along the inner edge to prevent falling outward into the moat, and anciently to shield the soldiers on the walls from the arrows, darts, lances and other weapons of the attacking enemy. • "We'soon teach Ph<rirx tower, a largo, round stone structure built outside of and into the outer edge and forming part of the wall, and continue upward two stories above the same. The upper story is reached hy a stone stairway, the lower one wo enter on a level with the walk on the wall. This tower is now used as a museum and a toy shop.

IT is found that the discipline of a ichool in which manual training is promoted becomes so natural and happy that all need of artificial restraint passes gradually away. It is observed that the childron, refreshed by the variety of their work and lnvigorated by the change from abstract Lo concrete, aro quieter and more itudious over their hooka than in schools where they have only abstract Btudies to pursue. It is demonstrated that children who pursue manual Btudies stand better in literary ones than the children who follow literary Btudies alone. Tho per cent of attendanco on enrollment is higher in schools whero manual training is in a regular part ©f tho school work. Health, of course, is better. TnA American pcoplo havo inherited restlessness and discontent as their patrimony. The roots of our being for generations past have had their origin in a courageous dissatisfaction. Our ancestors were the select men of their families, tho men of energy, daring and endurance, the men of tingling nervo and excitable imagination. They were tho men who abandoned comfort at homo and crossed the Beos in frail barks to encounter hardships unmeasured and dangers of the most appalling character merely that they might alter conditions with which all other men of their clasa were content. We aro tho descendants of pioneers, and pioneers are not placid people. If they were they would not be pioneers. AND HURLED THE CHRISTIAN TRUTHS AT THE GRECIANS.

It is useless to elaborate the theoretical sido of prison reform until common justice a,nti decency dictate thut our prisons shall not be criminal factories. BOSTON builders and insurance men, according to tho Jsevr York Commercial Bulletin, aro disturbed over what seems to bo the discovery that isbestos paper between floors Is aot only no protection against fire, but an increase of tho danger. The law provides that ia..Boston buildings the whole area of the floor from wall to wall shall be deafened with one Inch of plaster or two thicknesses of asbestos paper, or other incombustible material. It has been customary in complying with this law to use asbestos paper; but tho American Architect reports some recent experiments In Germany which throw grave doubt an the value of tno precaution. * DK. WALKER, a physician of Edinburgh, has published his observations on the Btudy or medicine in American ,yx, N. Y., Nov. £2.—It seemed as if morning would never come. We had arrived after dark iu Athens, lireece, and tho night was sleepless with expectation, and my watch slowly announced to me one and two und three and lour o'clock; and at the lirst ray of lUtwn, I called our party to look out ol the window upou that city to which Paul said he was a debtor, anil to which the whole earth is debtor for lireek architecture, (Sreek sculpture, lireek poetry, Greek eloquence, lireek prowess and liroek history. That, morning in Atiienswe sauntered forth armed with most generous and lovely letters from the President of the I n k e d States, and his Secretary of State, und durunr all of our stay in that city those letters caused every door uud every gate und every temple und every palace to swing open before us. We DUSS through tfhere stood the Agora, the ancient market-place, the locality where philosophers used to meet their disciples, walking while they talked, and where I'aul the Christian logician Hung many a proud Stoic, and got the laugh ou many an impertinent Epicurean. Hut before we make our chief visits of to-day we must take a turn at the Stadium. It is a little way out, but go we must. The Stadium was the place where the foot-races occurred. We come now to the Acropolis. It is a rock about two "miles in eircumfercne. 1 at the base uud ],t)()0 feet in circumference at the top, und ."iod feet high. On it has been crowded more elaborate architecture und sculpture than in any other place under the whole heavens. Originally a fortress, afterward a congregation of temples and statues and pillars, their ruins an enchantment from which no observer eier bivaks away. No wonder that Aristides thought it tire center of all things—Greece the center of the world: Attica the center of Greece: Athens, the center of Attica, and the Acropolis the center of Athens. Earthquakes have shaken it; Yerres plundered i t The Turks turned the building into a powder magazine where the Venetian guns dropped a tire that by explosion sent the columns Hying in the air und falling cracked and splintered. Hut utter all that time and storm and war and iconoclasm have effected, the Acropolis is the monarch of all ruins, aud before it bow the learning, the genius, the poetry, the art, the history of the ages. I saw it as it was thou- Bands of years ago. Yonder behold tne pedestal of Agrippa, twenty-seven feet high and twelve feet square. Hut the overshadowing wonder of all the hill is the Parthenon. In days.when money was ten times more valuable than now, it cost .$1,000,000. It is a Doric grandeur,' having forty-seven columns, each column thirty-four feet high •and six feet two inches in diameter. Wondrous intercolumniationsl Painted porticos, architraves tinged with ochre, shields of gold hun^ up, lines of most delicate curve, figures of horses and men and women and gods, oxen on the way to sacrifice, statues of the deities Dionysms, Prometheus, Hermes, Demeter. Zeus. Hera, Poseidon; in one frieze twelve divinities; centaurs in battle: weaponry from Marathov.; chariot of night; chariot of the morning: horses of the sun, the fates, the. fr.ries; statue of .lupiter holding iu his right hand the thunderbolt: silver-footed chair in which Xerxes watched the battle of Salamis onlv a few miles away. Here is the colossal statue of Minerva in lull armor, eyes of gray-colored stone: figure of a Sphinx, on her head, grithns by her side (which are lions with eagle's 'beak), spe:ir iu one hand, statue of Liberty in the other, a shield carved with battle scenes, and even the slippers sculptured, and tied on "with thongs of gold. Far out at sea the sailors saw the statue of Minerva rising high above all the temples, glittering in the sun. Here are statues of equestrians, statue of a lioness, and there are the Graces, and yonder a horse in bronze. There is a statue said in the time of Augustus to have of its own accord turned arourn.l from ea-st to west and spit blood: statues made out of shields conquered in battle; statue of Apollo, the ex- •peller of locusts: statue of Anacreon, drunk and singing: statue of Olympodorus, a Greek, memorable for of the courso, which, while nominally three years, is reduced to two year3 by the custom of accepting a year with a medical practitioner as equivalent to a year1 a study in college. The entrance examinations lie condemns as being farcical. Tho average age of medical itudents in America is fivo years older than that of Scottish students, which is beneficial in an.orderly 8en.se and aa promoting harder work—rind yet he thinks the professional attainments ol American students aro less than thos<i of Scottish students. With all this. Dr. Walker, if ho will look over the list, will disoover that Amoricat physicians have reached success an6 fnmo quite as great, as those of any Other nation, and havo mado as many valuable discoveries in tho art of heat ing as tho most renowned of Europeans. In our best medical college* a hlghor standard of examination ol •tudonts now obtains and tho coura« has been lengthened to four yean. cast down, a trait worthy of sculpture. Hut walk on and ground the Acropolis, and yonder you see a statue of Hvj?eia and the statue of Theseus lighting the Minotaur and the statue of- Hercules slaying serpents. No wonder that Petronius said that it was easier to find a god than a man in Athens. Oh, the Acropolis! The most of its temples and statues made from the marble (juarries of Mount Pestelieum, a little way from, the city. [ have here on my table a blo.'k of the Parthenon made out of this inarblu, ami on it, is the sculpture- of Phidias. I brought it from the AcropolK Tin's specimen lias on it the dust of acres, and the marks of explosion and battle, but you can get from it some idea of the delicate lustre of tin: Acropolis when it was covered with ;i mountain of this marble cut into all the exquisite shades that geniifs could contrive and striped w'th ' silver. ;md aflame with gold. The Acronoiis in the morning light of those ancients must have shown as though it were ;ui aerolite cast off from the noonday sun. Tho templesmnsthavelnoko.il like, petrified loam. The whole Acropolis m.'.st have seemed like the whito breaker* uf the yreat ocean of tiji.e We next hasten clown tho Acropolis to ascend tho Areopagus, or Mars Mill, us it is called. It took only about three minutes to wulk tho distance, and the two hill tops are so near that what 1 suid in religious discourse, on Mars Hill was heard distinctly by some English gentlemen on tho Acropolis. This Mars Hill is a rough pile, of rock fifty feet high. It was famous long before Now Testament times. The Persians easily aiul terribly assaulted tite Acropolis from this hill top. Here assembled the court to try criminals. It was held iu the night time, so that the faces ot the judges could not be seen, nor tho faces of the lawyers who made the plea, and so, instead' pf a trial being one of emotion, it must have been one of cool justice. Hut there was one.occasion on this hill memorable above all others. A little man, physically weak, aud his rhertorie described by himself as contemptible, had by h'a sermons rocked Athens with commolion, and ho was summoned either by writ of law or hearty invitation to come upon that pulpit of rock and give a specimen of his theology. All the wiseacres of Athens turned out and turned up tohear hrtu. The more'venerable of them satin an amphitheatre,tho granite seats of which are still visible, but the other people swarmed OJI ull sides of the 1*111 and at the base of it to hear this mau, whom some culled a fanatic, aud others culled a madcap, and others a blasphemer, and others styled contempt uously "this fellow." Paul arrived iu answer to tho writ or invitation aud confronted them and gave them the biggest dose that mortals ever took. He was so built that nothing could scare him, and as for •lupiter and Atheuia, the god and the goddess, whose imagines were in full sight on the adjoining hill, he had not so much regard for them as he had for the ant that was crawling in the sand under his feet. In that audience were the h'rst orators of the world, and they had voices like llutes when they were passive and like trumpets when they were arousec , and 1 think they laughed in the sleeves of their gowns as this insiguiticant-lookihg man rose to speak. In t h a : audience were Scholiasts, who knew everything, or thought they did, and from the end of the longest hair on the top of their cranuims to the end of the naii on the longest toe, they were stuti'ed with hypercritieism und they leaned back with a supercilious look to listen. As in lSMt, 1 stood on that rock where I'aul stood, und a slab of which I brought from Athens by consent of the k^xieen, through Mr. Tricoupis, the prime minister, and had placed iu yonder memorial wall, I read the whole story, bible iu hand. U hat I have so far said in this discourse was necessary in order that you may understand the boldness, the detinnce, the holy recklessness, tho magnificence of Paul's spee 'h. The tirst thunderbolt he launched at the opposite hill—the Arcopolis—that moment all u^litter with idols and temples. He tries out, "(iod who made the world." Why, they thought that Proniethus made it, that Mercury made it, that Apollo made, it, that Posedion made it, that Kros made it, that . Pandrocus made it, that Horeas made it, that it took all the gods of the Parthenon, yea, a.I the gods and Rod- (iesses of tho Acropolis to make it, and here stands a man without any ecclesiastical title, neither a 1).. D., nor even a reverend, declaring that the world was made by the Lord of hoaven and earth, and hence the inferen e that all the splendid covering of the Acropolis, so near that the people standing on the steps of the Parthenon could hear it, was a deceit, a false-" hood, a sham, a blasphemy. Look at the faces of his auditors; they are turning pale, and then red, and then wrathful. There had been several earthquakes in that reffiou; but that was the severest shock these men had ever felt The . Persians had bombarded the. Acropolis ; from the heightsof Mars Hill, but this Pauline bombardment was greater and more terrific, "What,"' said his hearers, "have we been hauling with many yokes of oxen for centuries these blocks from the quarries of Mount Pentelicum, and have we had '• our architects putting up these structures of unparalleled splendor, and have we had t h e g r e a t e t of all sculptors, Phidias, with his men, chiseling away at those wondrous pediments, and cutting away at those friezes, and , have we taxed the nation's resources to the utmost, now to be told that those statues see nothing, hear nothing, know nothing." Oh, Paul, stop for a moment, and give these startled and overwhelmed , auditors time to catch their breath! Make a rhetorical pause! Take* a lotrk artnmd yott a t the inter-t esting landscape, and give your hear- . ers time to ive.over! No, helloes not make even a period, or so mu/:h as a colon, but launches the se ond thunderbolt right alter the first, and in the same breath goes on to say: (Jod "dwelleth not in temples ina^e with hands." Oh, Paul, is not cHnty mo e in the Parthenon, or more in the Theseum, or move in the Krechtheium, or more in the temple of / e n s olympius than in the open air, more than on | the hill where we are sitting ] more than on Mount Ilymettus out ; yonder, from which the bees get their l>oney. "No more!" responds Paul, | "He dwelleth not in temple.-, made with hands."' j Surely that must be the dosing paragraph of tlie sermon. Ilis auditors must be let up from the nervous s:r;iin. ' Paul lias smiislicn the Acropolis and mashed the national pride of the <Jreeks, and what moro can he say.' . Iio^e (irecian orators standing on that pln.ee. always dosed their ad- ' dro.-ses wit'h something ..sublime and elimact rie. a peroration, and l'arl is going to give them a peroration which will eclipse in j.owiir and majesty all that he has yet said. Heretofore he lias burled one thunderbolt at a time; now, he will close by hurling two at once. 'The little, old man, under the power of his speech, lias straightened himself up, and tho stoop lias gone out of his shoulders, aud lie looks about three icct taller thau when he began, urid his eyes, whioh were quiet, became two tlnmts of tire, and his face, which was calm in the introduction, now depicts a whirlwind of emotion as he ties the two thunderbolts together with a cord of inconsumable courage ami hurls them at tho crowd now standing or sitting agast -.he two thunderbolts of Kesui'recjion and Last .Judgment. Ilis closing words were: "Hei a ise lie hath appointed a day, in which he will judt'e. the world iu righteousness by that man whom he huth ordained; where.n1 he hath given assurance unto all men in that IKS hath raised him from the dead.'1 Remember those thoughts were to them novel and provocative; that Christ, the despised .Na/arene, wonld come to be their jidge, and they should have to yet up out of their cemeteries to stand before him and take their eternal doom. Mightiest burst of elocutionarv power ever heard. The ancestors of some of those lireeks had heard Demosthenes in his oration on the crown, had heard .l^schines in his speeches against Timarchus and (.'tosiphon, had heard Plato in his great argument for immortality of the soul, had heard Socrates on his deathbed, suicidal cup of hemlock in hand, leave his hearers in emotion too great to bear, had in the theater of Diouysiu* at the loot of the Acropolis (the ruins of its piled-up ampitheater and the marble uoor of its orchestra still there I seen enacted the tragedies of .Kschylus and Sophocles,but neither had the ancestors of these (irecians on Mars Hill, or themselves, ever heard or witnessed sueh tornadoes of moral power as that with whi-h Paul now whelmed his hearers. At those two thoughts of Resurrection and .Judtrment the audience sprang to their feet. Some moved they ad ourn to some other day to hear more on the same theme, but others would have torn the sacred orator to pieces. The record says, "Some mocked.'1 1 suppose, it means that they mimicked tlie solemnity of his voice, that they took oil' his impassioned gesticulation, and thev cried out, ".lew! Jew! Where d d you study rhetoric? You ought to ' hear our orators speak! You had better gv.1 back to your business of tent making. Our Lycurgus knew more in a minute thau you will know in a month. Say, where did you get that crooked back, und those weak eyes from.1 Ha! Ha! You try to teach us (Ireyians! What nonsense you talk-ttoout when you speak of resurrection and judgment. Now, little old man, climb down the side of Mars Hill und get out of sight us soon as possible." "Some mocked." Hut that scene adjourned to the day of which the sacred orator had spoken— tho day of resurrection and judgment. As.in Athens that evening in 18HD, we climbed down the pile of slippery rocks, where all this had occurred, on our way back to our hotel, I stood half-way between the Acropolis and Mars Hill in the leathering shadows of eventide, I seemed to hear those, two hills iu sublime and awful converse. "I am chietly of the past," said the Acropolis. "I am chietly of the future, ' reniied Mars Hill, The ,.cropolis said: "My orators are dead. My lawgivers are dead. My poets are dead. My architects arc dead. My sculptors are dead. I am aTiTonuin >nt of the. dead past. I shall never a<^ain hear a song sung. I will never again see a column lifted. I will never again behold a goddess crowned." Mars Hill responded: "I, too, have hail a history, 1 had on my heigh s warriors who will never again unsheath the sword, and judges who will never a-giiin utter a doom,and orators who will never again mr.ke a plea. }{ut ray influence, is to be more in the tuture than it ever was in the past. The words that missionary, i'aul, uttered that exciting day iu the hearing of the wisest men and the popula e on mv rocky shoulders, have only begun their majestic roll; the brotherhood of man, and the Christ of (iod, and the peroration of resurrection and lasc judgment with which the Tarsian orator (dosed his sermon that day amid the mocking crowd, shall yet revolutionize the planet. Oh, Acropolis! I have stood here long enough to witness that your gods are no gods at all. Your Uorenscould not control the winds. Your Neptune could not control the sea. Your Apollo never evoked a musical, note. Your god Ceres never grew a harvest Your goddess of wi.sdom, Minerva, never knew the (ireek alphabet Your .lupiter could not handle the. lightnings. Hut the (Jot whom I proclaimed on the day when Paul preached irefnrtr^thtr ttHt^m rshtrtl— rtsstvmbl age onmy rough heights, is the (Iod of music, the tiod of wisdom, the (ioa of power, the (iod of mer/y, the, (iod of love, the (iod of storms, the (iod of sunshine, the (iod of the land, ami the (?od of the si'a, the (iod over all, blessed forever.•' Then, the Acropolis spake and s.iid, as though in self-defense: "My Plato argued for t\\? immortality of the soul, and my Socrai.es praised virtue, and my Mi'ltlades at Marathon drovij back the. Persian oppressors.'' "Yes." said Mars Hill, "your Plato laboriously guesv d at tin; immortality of the -oil, but my Paul divinely inspired, declared it as a fact straight from <iod. Your Socratis prais.'d virtue but expired as a suicide. Your Miltiade-. was hrave against earthly foes, yet died from ;\ wound ignominouslv gotten in after defeat.

Among the valuable dogs kept on that large Btoek farm is a handsome collia bitch, the private property of Mr. Joseph K. Dennis, to whose family Bonniebrook belonyu Some tiino ugo who bore a litter of eight fine pupa, but seemed to have difficulty in taking care of so many, and two were selected for death in the barnyard tank. Mr. Dennia instructed one of the farm hands to accomplish the deed, and it was done. j The dripping1 corpses of the two puppies were then buried ia the manure pit The next afternoon Head Farmer Brigga, in paying hia daily visit to the youthful canines, was overwhelmed with amazement to find that the collie had in someway dug up the bodien and brought them back ta life. She waa licking and fawning over them in a corner of her bed. Mr. Dennis wa* surprised when informed of this resurrection, anc^ a day or so later he personally attended a second attempt to render life extinct in two puppies. This time they were placed on a chopping block and their heads beaton with a club. Their mangled bodies were Once more buried in the barnyard pit. Mr. Dennis visited the city, and on ais recent return to Bonniebrook was met by Briggs with the astounding information that the collie had again found the melancholy graves of tho two puppies and had dug them up again. She had left one on the ground with life extinct, but had succeeded in resusoitating the other. She had, moreover, carried tho collie puppy in her mouth to the head farmer's house, and had stowed it away under the front stoop, whore no one could reach it The puppy ia alive to-day and ia visited regularly by its mother, who fights savagely if anyone attempts to dislodge it. As the little thing's position is at present impregnable, it is likely that it will grow up to return thanks to its devoted parent Besides this, Mr. Dennis thinks lie will let it live as a sort of memento.

An Celebrated In the LHUd of the Hindoo —An Interesting Occasion. Hindoos of all classes celebrate tho Cocoanut Festival ia August, says the Bombay Gazette, when thousands of cocoanutn, with flowers and sugar candy, were thrown into tho sea at Chowpatty, tho Kennedy Sea Face and at Modykhana, to bespeak tho favor of the Boa god toward thoso who during the ensuing- year intend to embark upon commercial enterprises and trust themselves and thoir gods to hi.s mercy. The festival is known among tho natives as tho Shravaru or Narel Purnima Festival, which in considered to mark the beginning of the end of tho monsoon. The data of the festival varies, but it generally occurs toward tho end of the month of August Early in tho morning of the day tho Hindoos and thoir families, young and old dre68 themselves in their best clothos and pass the day in the interchange of social amenities. In the afternoon tho children and adults deck thomselvos with ornaments, and in the company of tho older me-mber. s of tho families, with cocoanv.ts ' and flowers in their hands, tako thoir way toward tlie sea at Back Bay or Mody Bay. Tho don90st crowds of the native population are seen swarming : all over tho esplanade, converging I from different parts of the city, to witi ness tho fair held in honor of tho day. i This fair is a curious enough sight in | its way, many of its attractions being I common at an ordinary native fair. I The shops and booths erected in long lines along tlie verge of the Cruickshank road for the sale of trinkets and sweetmeats, English and native, attrttat a large amount of profitable business. Rings of people are formed here and there to witness tho feats of wrestlers and fencers, of tho antics of cunning wagheries, or to listen to tho tales of tho prowess of Ram;* or tho amours of Krishna, which are recited by wandering minstrels with acoompaniinuntof their uncouth instruments, j ^ITS.— All Fits stopped free by Di?.

I could stay in the room no longer; and, withou t even asking Mr. Gascoigne' s permission , I left it. It was a fine warm night, and th e stars were comin g out in the cloudless sky. I put a light wrap over my head, and stole away from the Grang e down to the lake. It was the first time I had gone to meet Gilber t secretly; but I had promised , if possible, to sea him, and tell him the result of the con* fession I had intende d to make to his uncle .

He was Gilbert's uncle, and be had been kind to me. "Is not that enough?" said Hilda sharply, and in the cry betrayed herself. I knew then that she had said nothing ot Ulric and Annis, but had trusted to my own disgrace to either discredit me or bring on me the blame for having misled Annis. I knew too that the game was in my hands, if I liked to win; but Annis was my friend, and I could not betray her. "X am waiting for your answer," said Mr. Gascoigne/1'! agree with my niece—what I have said is enough. Is it true?" Again Hilda raised her eyes and locked at me almost fiercely, and her hands gripped each other tightly. "It is quite true," I answered slowly. "I have met your nephew. I asked you, sir, if you had any commands to give me for my conduct outside your rooms, and you said not. I am engaged to Gilbert." , "And is that all you have to say?" he jerked out "Except that I have acted with no Intention of disobeying you, that, if you are angry, I am very, very sorry; and I know Gilbert will be even more so.* "Why should he care? Do you suppose he thinks I am likely to forgive him his own sins? Does he expect to get mymouey yet?" "I am quite sure he does not." "And you were not deluding yourself with the notion that you would be the mistress of the Grange, I suppose?" "If Gilbert had been your heir," I said, *'it would never have happened. I should not have met him, and you would have had the right to see that he pleased you in what he did." "You think I have not tliat right now?" "You cast him off, Mr. Gascoigne, and refused even to hear his name, and he had acted Independently of /your wishes, but never in opposition to them. If he had been your heir, he would Jyave been above me in position, and I would never have had it said that I had marriea him for that position, even had circumstances then brought us together." / "As circumstances, I suppose, did now?" he said shrewdly. I let it pass. The circumstances I could notV/for the bake of Annis, explain. "If I have seemed to disobey or deceive y6u," I said, "1 nsk your pardon; but you /left me free and you left him Iree." "And how long did you mean to keep up the deception?" "I should have told you yesterday, as soon as I was engaged, if I had been able. Gilbert was anxious that you should know at once, and it was against my wishes that I stayed a night in the Grange knowingly keeping the truth from you." "When do you mean to get married—on nothing, I presume?" "Gilbert has his professou. 1 have my home, in the meantime." "You propose to go home at once, 1 suppose?"—" Yea," I replied. "I don't see," said the old man testily, "why I should be inconvenienced in that way. I shall desire you to remain until I find some end to take your place; at least, you must pive proper notice. Our arrangement was a purely business one; sentimentally, I am aware my feelings are of no consequence. iSince tlie young gentleman is not my heir, they cannot and do not claim to be considered by either of you, of course.'* "They can and always will be, sir. Gilbert is your nephew; no quarrel can alter that And hearts are truer than gold." Hilda gave a forced sarcastic laugh. Her uncle was silent a few minutes. "Well, Miss TUorne," he said at length, "I have heard the charge, and I have heard your answer to it which simply^mounts to an admission of the facts. As you have intimated, I have no power over my nephew or you. I intend to act strictly upon our busi- , ness relationship with you, and, as regards ; my nephew, having nothing further to cut i him off from,I can do nothing. Yon will understand— and he had also better understand ' —that you stay at the Grange to fulfil your ; engagement with me, which was entered into before your engagement with him, ami that I shall certainly not leave him a farthing when I die. Nothing I possess will be... left to either of my nephews. Now is there anything further, HKda, you would like me to sayV "I should scarcely have expected," said Hilda calmly, "that you would have cared to keep in your house one who has behaved in this manner." "Very good," he answered. "That is my , own affair. I keep Miss Thorne, who has ! done her work as my secretary to my entire ' satisfaction, as my secretary. I made no ! bargain as to her leisure hours. If she were my niece, of course I should take a\rry different view of the case. Anything else, Hilda'.'1' "Nothing." "Have you any question? to ask, Gwendoline?" "None," said Gwendoline, speaking for the first time, and in a low suppressed tons. "Then, my dears, you can go back to your drawing-room." They went Hilda with a slight flush of tTiumph on her cheeks, but yet not fully satisfied, I thought. Neither the best nor the worst she might have anticipated had happened. Gwendoline followed her in silence to the ; door; but, Instead of going down to the drawing-room, she paced np the long corridor, her trailing gown, that fell from her y shoulders fn graceful folds, reflected on th» polished floor and ca'cliiiig rays of warm color from the painted window. I proceeded straight to my own room, and stood at the open casement, looking at Urn distant gleam of tho lake. "Miss Thcunel" I turned. Gwendoline stood in tin: doorway, and t-poke wif.h averted e^es in the quiet voice' so unlike her short pussiuniitw accents mure oi'ieii heanf. "1 want you to know," s!u- said, " Iliat I havet had no Imnd in thN. 'Why you shielded Anuis I cannot tell.

She waited fur no answer, hut had gone before i could .speak. CIIAPTEIt Xlll. After luncheon I returned as usual to Mr, Gascoigne's room, and took up the Times, which lay on the sideboard unopened. "Not just y e t " he said, putting up h!i hand. "I want to talk to you first. Com* here 1" His tone was so gentle and thoughtful, to different from the terse sentences he had sharply uttered to me a few hours before, that my heart throbbed strangely. I went to him and knelt down by his chair. "You are not angry with Gilbert and me, Mr. Gascoigne?" "I am not going to tell you," heconimeno* ed, taking no apparent notice of my words, "ail the reasons for which I and Gilbert quarrelled. There was possibly pot on« good reason, but what people cali incompatibility of temper. When he first came to me, he was a frarrk outspoken iad, a bit rash and wild, and I had to keep a sharp eye on him. Perhaps it was too sharp; h« found out that his words and actions became known to me, and he began t j gel jealous and mistrustful. Because he knew, I believo or suspected, that all he said and did was reported to me, he said and did what he was well aware would displease me, and grew fitful, capricious, and suspicious, .^ve differed in a thousand and at )*st we parted." Afterwards I learned that Crawford Carden had been even then one of Mr. Gascoigne's spies, and had done all in his power, by false reports to the one and exaggerated pretended sympathy with the other, to divide uncle and nephew. "He is not mistrustful or capricious now," I said. "He is generous to everybody in word and deed. No one could be more so." "The last subject on which we quarrelled was the subject of marriage." "Marriage!" I started. "His marriage. I had three almost penniless nieces. I had two nephews—my heirs. Ulric was young, and at college—Annis at school; Gwendoline was engaged to Lord Martin Pomeroy because he was rich; I bade Gilbert marry Hilda. He scarcely knew her, but refused even to learn her mind. He said there could be nothing congenial between them, and he would not be married for liig money, as Lord Martin had been—for Gwendoline's marriage, poor girl, was not happy, though Mart u was a tine young fellow whom any girl might have loved. Well, ha proposed to diviilc the property with Hilda. I said the Grange property had not been divided for a hundred years, ami I was not going to begin to tlo >o tu suit him. He an* swered that lie wanted none of it; and bo it ended.' "Ami Hilda,'' I asked tremulously —"did Hilda know of your wish'.1' "Do you think I would let a young lady know she had been rejected? The matter was between me and Gilbert, ami us only. The girls knew so little that, when they met their cousins, they thought it advisable to keep me in the dark. I a;n not easily kept in the dark." I looked up at him quickly. How much did he know? His voice had returned to in old dry tone, and he chuckled softly. "I heard whispers, plenty of whispersl My young gentleman began to have privato meetings with Miss Hilda and Miss Annis, and I bethought me that Master Gilbert might find his lovely cousin more attractive now that tlie money was on her side. I wished him to fall iu love with her, I intended it; that would be checkmate. 1 waited." "Mr. Gascoigne, who has told you all this? Who has betrayed them? Not 11" "No, not you; you kept the secret remarkably well, and longer than I expected, when you had every temptation, as great as I could make it, to save yourself by revealing it. You did not tell me that my nieces set you fhe example in meetings under the rose, and that Annis was hiding yet more!" "Do not be vexed with her," I cried; "sho could not help it. She could not prevent herself from becoming acquainted with TJlno at Norbury; hhft could not prevent herself from loving Mmr It waa not hiswi<h or her* that you were deceived. You will forgivg her, Mr. Gascoigne?" "Have you not enough to think about in getting forgiveness for yourself?" he asked | GRAINS OF GOLD. Character U capital. Loafers are never happy.

A feeling of languor, and depression means that ; your liver isn't doing its part. That • means impure blood, to Dogin with, j and all kinds of aiknents in the end. But you can stop them in advance. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery invigorates the liver, purities and enriches the blood, and rouses every organ into healthy action. It prevents and cures all diseases arising frofea a torpid liver or from impure blood. Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Biliousness, Scrofulous, Skin and Scalp Diseases — even Consumption ( or Lung-scrofula), in its earlier stages, all yield to it. Tho makers ot the "- Discovxry " claim for it only what it will do. They guarantee that it icill do it. If it fails to benefit or cure, in any ease, they'll return tho money. Nothing else that claims to purify the blood is sold in this way; which proves, no matter what dealers may offer, that nothing else can be " just as good."

No sooner did this] fall's campaign close and th*^ elections returns come in than] politicians scanned the ligures of November .'Jaud recalled the events ; of preceding weeks as a basis for shrewdly laying party wires to catch votes next time. In like manner it will be wise for people , to improve the iirst Sunday after I Thanksgiving by thinking how! future Thanksgivings can be made more proiitable and enjoyable J'or themselves and other folks. To begin with, here is a suggestion or two for those on whom so much depends, the clergy. Last Thanksgiving many of them en- ; doavored earnestly to .speak words ; in season to point their hearers' 1 mind toward important, perhaps •neglected, truths, to kindle, tires ! of noble resolve within human : breasts not le,s.s growing than the fires that were burning in fragrant kitchens and cheerful dining rooms where the customary feasts were making ready. .But, unless in exceptional cases, it is to be feared that the efforts of our clerical friends were to much nullilied by absenteeism. An array of empty pews is not an inspiring vision. How would it do to try an experiment next year'.J Instead of urging your regular congregations to attend the Thanksgiving day service, inv.te them 1o stay awav.

Kating and drinking do not til! out the measure of Thanksgiving day in y o r homes. \\ liy should t hey in the homes of those unfortunate ones whom you try to make happier at this happy season? Will it not be well just now to consider how you may spread abroad as much as possible of the spirit of the dear old festival?

WKKK men yennrully as g-itilant and attentive to their wives as is the ostrich, women would be happier und bave more ostrich foathors to wear. When you see an ostrich feather on a lady's hat, or La the hat of a uniform knight or soldier, think of the ostrich and wonder if the one who cares for the woman thus adorned is as much of a man us is the husband of the hen that laid the eggs from which came the birds thut yielded the plumes that add so much grace and beauty to feminine head-gear. g IK men were like watches. If th« were as clean inside and outside, they kept such good hours; were well behaved. If thoy could be.trusted its well in the dark. If they could do thoir work as faithfully, and without grumbling. If they were as content and satisfied with their environment.' If they did as much for ot.hc.rs and did it as freely. If thoy were in nil things as true and reliable, as a good watch, the Paradise Lost in the old Eden would be transformed into the heaven of which the little children sing. PRISON managers should not loso Bight of the fact that prisons are places of punishment. Neither should thoy ignore tho equally important function of reformation whonever it can bo observed. If any prisons keep their inmates in luxurious idleness it is not in accordance with tho principles of the reformatory aystein, but contrary to it It was the old bridewell system that kept its prisoners in idleness; while it is tho design of tho reformatory system to make thorn work. It ]9 not necessary to be brutal in order to make imprisonment a penalty; and to deny the prisoner an occasional bouquet, a Christmas card, or tho chance toread when his work is done, would be simply a reaction to thn chirk ages of brutality. Even towns THKRE is a force at work throughout all Christendom that defies charity. It was not always thus, now there comes to those big men who look with horror on tho evidences of misery that greet thoir eyes, and turn back to rural simplicity with a feeling that they would die if constantly surrounded by s> much human suffering. Even citizens now awellng in tho city can remember when no hungry child sobbed itself to sleep. But the town has increased in population and wealth. Magnificent homos line its avenues and palaces of trade offer wonderful fabrics -for the opulent customer. Wealth abounds, and yet doth poverty much more abound. And the chimes ring gayly for feasts and solemnly for fasts. Hut tho great world wonders not that.,Christianity is a failure, but that it has not yet turned its attention to one of the great causes which hayo barred its progress and made mockery of its pruyers. nothing tends more effectually to make society or the individual poor and weak and thin, mentally and morally, than intentional ignorance of things important to all tho interests of human life. Wholhor it is duo to .silly vanity, to fear of fashion's power, or to a cowardly1 dread of conscienco and its dictates it is always enfeebling to the character and debasing to the life. Those who yield to it shut out from themselves and tho cliques to which they may belong much of tho be^t talent and strength of the world. It is not strange that men and women, eager for truth, vigorous and enthusiastic, strong in principle and earnest in endeavor, should retire from tho^a who have neither anything to give nor dosiro to receive. Fashionable and conventional society can never estimate the losses it thus sustains; nor can its submissive votaries know what wealth of power, vigor and happiness thej *r« voluntarily throwing away. l?imoui,YN, N.

Vhat a aoene It WUH when liist Thnrsflay at itli iMllof the l'n^ldfnt and trovernora, this ucaium tts*.embled to uhtint the pruihfd of Uud. Jttul the day WUH too short to celebrate tho Divine goodueHS of such a yenr. The sun did not rise over Brooklyn until one minut* b«fort> 1 o'clock that morning, and it set 4 o'clock and thirty-n" ve minute* that evening. What a Bmull Bpoce of time in which to militate uoou twelve months of bt^ut'factions. So I add to that day this Sabbath mornlnp service, und with the fruit* and horvests of the earth still glorifying the pulpit and the galleries, aak you to continue the rehearnal of the IMvine goodnesa. Hy a sublime egotiau man h*a come to appropriate thia world to himself, when the fact ia thut our race is in a small minority. The in- Btanoes of human life, as compared, with the infitanoes of animal life, are not one to a million. We shall enlarge our idnus of God's gooduess and come to a better understanding of the Uixt If, before wo come to took at the oup of our blessing, we look at the gootlnesa of God to the irrational creation. Although najture Is out of joint, vet even in Its disruption I am surprised to find the almost universal happiness of the animal creation. On • Bummer day, when the air and the grass are most populous with life, you will not hear a Bouo&of distress unless, perchance, a heartless school-boy has robbed a bird's nest, or a hunter has broken a bird's wing, or a pasture has been j obbed of a lamb, and there goes up a bleating l»om the fiooks. The whole earth ia filled with animal delight—joy feathered, and scaled, and horned, and hoofed. "J^he bee bums it; the frog croak* it. the t>julrr*l chatters it; the quail whistles it; the lark carols it; the whale spouts it. The snail, the rhinooeros, tho grizzly bear, the toad, the wasp, the spider, the shell-fish, have their homely delights—joy as great to them as our joy is to us. Goat climbing the rocks; anaconda crawling through the Jungle; buffalo plunging'acro »s the prairie; orocodilc basking in tropical eun; seal puffing on the ice; ostrich striding across the desert, are so many bundles of joy; they do not go moping or melancholy; they are not only half supplied; Uod says they are tilled with pood Tho worm squirming through tho sod upturned of plowshare, and the ikiita racing up and down the hillock, aro happy t>y duy and happy by night. Take up a drop of water under the microscope, and you Uud that within it there are millions of creatures thut swiin in a hallelujah of gladness. Tho Bounds in nature that are repulsive to our ears are of ten only utterances of joy—the growl, tho croak, the bark, the howl. The good God mude these creatures, thinks of them ever, und will not let a ploughshare turn up a mole s nent, or tisherman's hook transtix a worm, until by eternal devree, its time has come, God's hand feeds all these broods, and shepherds all these flocks, and t<>nds nil these herds. He sweetena the clover-top for ihe oxen's taste; and pours Cat crystalline waters, in moused cupa of rock, for the. hind to drink out of on his way down the crags, and pours nectar into the cup of the honeysuckle to refresh the humming-bird; aud sprviuis a banquet of a hundred fields of buckwheat, and lets the honey-bee put his mouth 1o any cup of all the bonque-t and tolls thrirms^hopper topo anywhere he likus, and ^:ves the Hocks of heaven the choice of ull the irrain-lleMs. The sea aneroone, half-animal, h ilf-ttnvrer, clinging to tho rock In mid-oc^an, with its ivnUti'l-s spreiul to catch its f<x><l, has the owner of the universe to provide f(,r it.

When the unfledged robins are hungry, (.jod shows the old rohiu where slie can ;'et food to put into their o|>en mouths.

Thn animal creation also has its ivriny and navy. The most hiMKUitiennt has its means of defense.; the wasp i\n sting; the reptile its tooth; tlie bear its p:iw; the dog its muz/le; tho elephant its tusk; the tlsh its scales; the bird its swift wing; tho. raindeor its antlers.; the roe ita rli*r.t foot. We are replied at the thought of sting, and tusk, and hoof, but God's goodness provides them for tho defense of the animal's rights. Yea, God in the biblo announces his enrp for these orders of creation. He say* that ho has heaved up fortifications for their defense- Psalm civ., IS: "The high hills are i> refuge'for the wild gonts, and tin; rocks for the conies.' He watches the bird's nest - lValrn civ., 17: "As for the stork, the Mr-trees are herhousfl.'1 He tees thru the cattle have enough grass-Psalm civ., 14: "lie cuuseth the L'ra>s to grow for the cattle." He s<*os to it that the c^iws. amlsheep, and horses have enough to drink—l'sulm ci\., 10:11: "He st nileth the springs into th» valleys, which run alon^ the hilis: thev give drink to every beast of thetluld; the wild asst s cuenuh their thirst." ""rAint(tttir"ttnTH(1ors"df"SThaI (iriiY uttered"fTic rights of cattle, and said that they should have a Sabbath. "Thou Hhnlt not flo-^riy work, thon, nor thy cattle." He declared*" with' iniinit<i<'mphasis that tlio ox on the, ihri 'hiiig-(l<K>r should have the privilege cjf etitln^ Minn: of the grain as he trod it out, and muzzling was forbidden. If young birds were taken from the nest, for food, the despoiler'slife depended on the mother going free. God would not let the mother-bird suffer in one day tho loss of her young and her own liberty. And he who regarded in olden •'time thn conduct of man toward the brutes, today looks down from heaven and is interested in every minnow that swims the slre-am, and every rook that, cleave^ the air, ami every herd that bleats, or neighs, or Imvw in Un: pasture. Why ijId God make all those, and wliy make them so happy? How account for nil this sinpinj?,. and dancing, and frisking amid tin',irrational creation? Why this heaven for the animalcule in a dewniup'r Why for the condor a throne on c'hiinbomzo? Why the glitter of the phosphorus in the ship's wake on the sea, which is MI id to IK: only ihe frolic of millions of insects? Why the perpetu.il chanting of so many voiws from tin- irr.ition.il creation in earth, and air, and ooi-an -bea>ts,and nil cattle, creepic? things, ami Hying1 fowl, pennltW'd to join in the praise that piles up fr<,m seniph and archangel? Only one solution, one explanation, one answer -G<xl is good. "The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord." I take a step higher, and notice, the adaptation of the world lo happiness of man. Th*»sixth day of creation had arrived. The plac« of the world was made, but their waa no kiug to live In it. Leviathan ruled the deep; tho eagle the air; the lion this field; but where was tho Bceptre which should rule all? A new stylo of belnp was created. Heaven and earth were reprwtXjBtfld la hJK natum.

Y. World. They are seven la number, and their siae Is something enormous for animals of their kind. Each one of them weighing la the neighborhood of 150 pounds. They ire natives of the Galapagos islands, in the Pacific ocean, where they thrive in great numbers. Some of them are enormous, and. la »pite of their slow movements, neoassltated by the big shells in which their bodies are incaaed, they have beer ksown to put up a pretty stiff fight against man. The tortoises from the Galapagot islands have been very serviceable to mariners in the times when stean* vessels were unknown and buccaneering wae a science on the Pacific seat* During this period it was a matte of great difficulty to provide sufficient food for a voyage between one port aad another. Especially was this true of the hardy buccaneers, who found it inconvenient at times to put in for supplies at public places. This is where the Galapagos tortoises came in. In passing the islands the captains laid in a supply of them, and let them live until they were to be used aa food. 8« large are these reptiles, and so congested is the material of which the; aro made, that two tortoises aro oftaa found sufficient to last a crew of twelve buccane T9 on a business voyage of a week. The tortoise was first killed and served up in steaks. When the «t*:aks were all gone there wert) chops. At'er this came hash, and finally fho remnan-'a, including' the shell were caat in'o a po'j of boiling sea water, aad 1ho result was toroise soup. It made a rather briny, leithorj diBh. but it waa regarded as better than uo'hhig. Mr. Conklin siys that an ordinary man c;ui ro" eat a Galapagos Island f.urU?.

He was making a coupling and had inserted the link into the drawbar. When he attempted to jerk his hand away, the fii>t and second fingers were caught on a couple of slivers that had been sprung on i.lie link. These held his hand in place and the 'drawbars came together upon the two tinkers, Allen having the presence ot mind to twist the rest o& his hand around out of the way. The engine continued backing for about five car lengths before his signal to stop could be seen and heeded,, in the meantime Allen's h'ngers weie firmly held by the merciless draws and he had to walk along with the train. The first finger will probably be saved" but the second had to be amputated. The slivers uad entered both fiugers., lacerating the tie.su in a painful manner." Jay is well known in this v'cinit}', and he has the sympathy of all his trieniK lie paid this village a visit the tir>f o7TTn~wVek earlymg the injured hand well done up, Christmas *ume of tti*' pliicca in l'im.kney wlicri' (hoy iiuiy bt) foil ml. A trip to our stores reveals the fact that another year ha>. pass^<J ami Christmas is nearly here again. The past year has been nrm of prosperity with must peuple and our merchants are taking advantage uf the times to spread before their customers their wares in the best shape to attract attention. In evwry place tlmre are so many articles that ;,re suitable for presents that one hardly knows 'what to buy but all can be suited as regard to price and quality. AT F. A. Suinci'.'s.

HKIIKIMI SKA IHSITTK. In my last annual nus.sau't" I stated that I ho basis of arbitral inn proposed by her majesty's government for the adjustment of tin- long- Iicnilirijf controversy as to t h e seal fisheries was not acceptable.

HIH'NDAKY DISITTES. 1'rovision should Le innde for a joint demarcation of tlu! frontier line between Canada and the United Stairs wherever required by the increasing border settlements and especially tor the exact location of t..e water boundary in the straits and rivers. 1 should have been Kind to announce some favorable disiositioti nt' the boundary dispute between (Ireat Hritain aDd Venezuela, touching the western frontier of British Criiiann. but the friendly efi'iHls of the United Mates in that direction have thus far been unavailing This government will-continue to express its concern at any appearance of foreign encroachment on territories long under the jiuniinistralive control of American states. THK AMKK1CAN HOC). The law of the las-t Co! gress providing a sys- Ifin of inspection for our meats intended for export and clothing the President with power to exclude foreign products from our market in case the country sending them should perpetuate unjust discrimination against any product of the United States, placed this government in a portion to effectively urge the removal of such discrimination against our meats. It is gratifying to siatu that Germany, Denmark, Italy, Austria and France, in the order named, have opened their ports to inspocted American t>ork products. The n-mov- -al of these restrictions in every instance WHS asked fur and uiveu solely upon the ground that we had now provided a meat inspection that should he accepted as adequate to the «">mplete 'removal of the danger, real or fancied, which had been previously urged. The outlines ol an agreement have been readied with Germany, looking to equitable trade concessions in considerut ion of the continued free importation of her sugars, but the time hus not yet arrived when this correspondence can be submitted to Contrress. THKMASSACItK OK THK SAILORS. On the Uith of October an event occurred In Valparaiso so serious and tragic in its circumhtancps and results aMoexciie the indignation of uur people and to call for prompt aud decided action, on the j art of this government. A considerable number of the sailors of t h e United Slates steamship Baltimore, then in the harbor of Valparaiso, being upon shore leave and unarmed, were assaulted bv armed men nearly simultaneously in different localities in the city, u n e petty officer wn-* killed outrgljl and seven or eight seamen •were seriously wounded, one ol whom ha-> vinee dieil. So far an 1 have yet been able t i learn, im •oilier ex pin nation of this bloody work has been suggested t.ian that it had its origin in hostility to these men us sailorsof the I'yited States, wearing the uniform ot their government and not i'i any individual act or personal animosity. The attention of the Chilian Government •*asat. once culled to this atTair and a statement of the facts obtained by the investigation we had^ondnetcd was submitted and was accompanied by a request to be advised of any o< her or qualifying tacts in t h e p. sscssion of i e Chilian Government that might tend to ie ieve this affair of the appearance of an in- 1 biilt to this government. The Chilian Government \va« al.>o advised that if such qualifying lacis d i # n o t exist this Government uonld'contidently expect full and prompt reparation. It is to be regretted that the reply <»f the Secretary for Foreign Affairs of the provisional government was couched in an offensive tone. To this nn response has been made. This government is now awaiting t h e result of an investigation which has been c Jiducteri by the criminal court at Valparaiso. 1 will by a special messRue brine this matter atrain to the -attention of Congress for such action as may • be necessary. The entire corresuondence, with the Government of Chili will at an early day be submitted to Congress. CHINKSK AKKAfRS, The late outbreak against foreigners in various parts of the Chinese Empire h a s been a cause of deep concern in view of the numerous establishments of our citizens in the interior •of t h a t country, 'Ibis government can do no Hess than insist upon a continuance of the protective, and punitory meawure* which the <'binese Government has heretofore applied. No effort will be, omitted to j>r tec.t our citizens peaceably sojourning in China, but recent unofficial information indicates that what was nt first regarded as an outbreak of mob violence against foreigners has assumed t h e larger form of an insurrection ngainst public order. '(Tie Chinese government h a s declined to receive Mr. Hlair us Minister of t h e United States on the ground that as a participant, while a Senator, in the enactment of tne existing legislation airainst t h e introduction of Chinese laborers lie has become unfriend]v and objectionable to China. 1 have felt constrained to point out to the Chinese government the untenablrnefss of this position, which seems to rest a« much on the unacc.eptability of our legislation a-s on that ot t h e persnn chosen, and which, if admitted would practically debar the selection of any representative so long as the existing laws remain in force. You will be called upon to consider the expediency of making special provision by law for t h e temporary admission of Rome Chinese artisans and laborers in connection with the exhibit of Chinese industries a t the approaching Columbian Exposition. I regard it AS desirable that the Chinese exhibit be facilitated Jn every proper way. OUR RIGHTS IN THK CAROLINE IHLANDK. A question has Arisen with the government of Spain touching the rights of American citizens in the Caroline Island*. Our citizens t here, long prior to the confirmation of Spain's claim to the islands, had secured by settler •ment and purchase certain rights, to the recognition and maintenance of which the faith —TT—Spain win pledged.—I have had reason •»v:inin the pant yenr very strongly to protest against the failure to carry out this pledge on tlie part ot her majesty's Micii.->ters, which has resulti d iu great injustice aud injury tu the American residents. The government and people of .Spaiu propose to celebrate ihe four-bunuredth anniversary of the discovery of America by holding an exposition nt Madrid which will opfu on the 1-th of September, ami co.ntluuo until the Hist of December, l<sy~. A cordial invitation has been exteuded to the I'niled Stales to lake part iu this commemoration, aud, as Spain was one of the first nations to express thi* intention to participate in the World'.-Columbian Kxptxsiliou nt Chicugo, it would be very appropriate for thin government tu give this iuvilalion Us frieudiy promotion.

Under tlie law of July 14, 1^#), the Secretary of the; Treasury has pureha>ed since August Hi during the tiscal year 48,ISMS,HU ounces of silver bullion at an average cost of 81.(Wo per ounce:. The highest price paid during tin: year was Sl.tfWfi. and tbf> lowest S".iHvB. in exctinnire for t his silver bullion have been issued $oO,- :")77,4flN of the treasury Mites authori/. d by the act. Tlie lowest price of silver readied during the fiscal year was iO.WW. on April '£!, 1HD1: but on November one the market price was only SU.W. whicii wouid give to the silver dollar a bullion value of seventj-four and one-fourth cents. Hefore the influence of the prospective silver legislation wa-s felt in the market silver was worth in New ' York about $IUIW> per ounce. Thr ablest advocates of free coinage in the last Congress were most confident in their prediction that the purchases by the government required by the law would at once bring the price of silver to l.VftJ.i per ounce, which would make the bullion value of a dollar 100 cents and hold it there. The* prophecies of the anti-silver men of disasters to result from the coinage of $2,(XX),(XH) per month were n t widerof tne mark. The friend* of free silver are not agreed, 1 think, a* to t»e. causes that from I,onri«m to India during the first niun muuths of the calendar year fell oft over GO per cent, or f lT.-U.'.T'JO, compared with th« same juouths of the preceding yeur. The exporta of domestic silver bullion from tkiu country, which had averaged for the last teu yearn over j>17.0UU,wm, tell iu the last tiscal to J1H,7»7,3"1; wiille, for the nr*t time in recent yearn, the imports of hilver iuto thlu country exceeded the exports by tbo BWXL of f2,745,3b.1). In the previous year the net exports ot silver from the United States amounted to $8..r>4.ri.4tVi. Tho production uf the United States increased from lyuOU.WJO ounces in 18SV toM,5U0,UtHJ iu 1890. The government ib now buying and putting aside annually M.mni.UK) ouuees, which, allowing for T.no.tul minces of new bullion used iu the arts, is li.O-KI.UU* more than our domestic product availablu for coinage. 1 hope thu dcprus.siou in the price of silver is temporary and that a further trial of this legislation will more favorably affect it. That the increased volume of currency thus sup plied for the use of the people wa» uecdert aDd that beneficial results upon trade and prices have followed this legislation 1 th nk must be very clear to every one; nor should it be forgotten that for every dollar of these notes issued a full dollar's worth o? silver bullion is at the time deposited in the treasury as a security for its redemption. Upon this subject, aa UJHUI the tariff, iny recommendation is licit the existing laws be gi\ en a f nil trial and that our business* interests be spared the distressing influence which threats of radical changes always impart. Under existing legislation it is in the power of the Treasury Department to maintain that essential condit ion of national liuancu as well us of coinmercial prosperty the parity in use of the coin dollars ami their paper representatives. The assurance that these powtia will be freely and unhesitatingly used has done much tu produce and sustain tho present favorable husiuess conditions. I am still ol the opinion that the free coinage of silver under existing conditions would dl»- astiously a!lect*cair business interests at home and abroad. We could not hope to maintain an equality in the purchasing power of the gold and silver dollar on our own markets, and iu foreign trade tho stamp gives no added value to the bullion contained in coins. The producers of the country-the farmers and laborers have the highest interest that every dollar, paper or coin, issued by the government shall be as good a*> any other. If there is one less valua! le than auother its sure and constant errand will be to pay them for their toil and for their crops. The money-lender ivill protect himself by stipulating for payment in gold, but tho laborer ln.s never been ible to do that. To place business men upon i silver basis would mean a sudden and t*e vere contraction ot the currency, by the with drawn) of gold and gold notes, and such at iinsetllini; of all values ;is would produce a commercial panic. 1 c.iunot believe that fl people so strong and prosperous as our* wiU piomotu such a policy. The producers of silver are entitled to Just consideration, but they should not forget that the government is now buying and putting iut of the market what is the equivalent of i he eni ire product of our silver mines. This s more than they themselves thought_of jis_k • 'n'u't w"i/Year's* ago.T UDeTIevtTTf'Ts tlie earnest" ler-iieni a great majority of the people, as it is mine, that a full coin use shall be made of silver just a.s soon as tiie co-operation of other nations can he secured aud ii da-sis fixed that .vill give circulation equally to gold aud silver. i'hu business oL the world requires the use of ioth niotals; but 1 do not see any prospect ot ,'aiu, but much ot loss, by giving up the presnt system, in which a full use is made of gold irid a large use of silver for one iu which ilver al^ne will circulate. Such an •vent wouid be ut once fatal to the further nrogress of tho silver movement. Biunetalli> ni is the desired end, and t^e true friends ot ilver will be caieful not to overrun the goal ind bring in silver monometallism, with its .lecessary attendants, tlie loss of our gold to Europe and the relief of the pressure there for i large currency. I have eudeavored by the w of official and unofficial agencies to keep x close observation of tlie state of public sentfiit'nt iu 1',II rope upon tills o.u«»tion, aud have iot found it to be such as to justify me in prolosiiig an international conference. There is-. lowever, I am sure, a growing sentimeut in lurop • in favor of » larger use of silver, and i know of no more effectual way of promoting ;his sentiment, than by accumulating gold ;ere. A scarcity of gold in the European i'eerves will be the most persuasive argument Cor the use of silver.

OCEAN MAIL SKHVICE. lii pursuance ofA.hu ocean mail law of March ;n, ;Mit, and after n most careful study of the whole subject and frequent conferences with ship owners, boards of trade and others, ail- . i-rtisements were issued by the 1 'ostmasteri iencral for i:fty-thref> lines of ocean mail service; ten to (ireat Britain and the continent, iwenfy-MUven to >outh America, three to Chi- • uii'l .Jnpan, four to Australia and the I'iuilic lsla*uis, seven to the West Indies, and i wo to M xic.o. 'I'lu- jHilicy of tlie deiiartnient was to secure from the estn)>lished lines an improvement of the service as a condition of .riving to them thebenelits of thu law. Thin in all in>taiices has been Httaiutitl. The 1'ostmaster-( iciieiiil estimates that an expenditure in American shipyard* of about $1(J,IKJU,()IXI will be necessary to enable the bidders to con- M rnct the ships culled for by the service •which the.\p have accepted. i do not Jhink there is any reason for discouragement Or for nny turning back from tlie policy of this legislation. Indeed a good beginning has been made, and, as the subject is still further considered and understood by capitalists and shipping people, new lines will lie ready to meet future proposals, and we may date from tho passage of this law the revival of American shipping interests and the recovery of a fair share of thu carrying trade of the world. We were receiving for foreign postage nearly j&.OUU.OOU. utuler the old nyfte.ni and the out lay for ocean mail service did not exceed MXl.Ollo per annum. It is estimated by the I'ostmaKtcr-General thai, if all tlie contracts, pro posed are completed, it will require &247.3M for this year, In addition to tho appropriation for sea and inland postage already Iu the estimates, and that for the next fiscal ye-jii ending June .*>.

THK PKA'MION BUKKAT. The administration of the Pension liureau has been characterized during the year by great diligence. The total number of pensioners uuon the roll on the UOth day of,June. 18V1, was 076,100. Theru ivero allowed during tiscal year ending nt that lime X~A);W> cases. Ot this number. 1O.',1!&7 were allowed under the law of Juue tJ7, isttJ. The issuiugof certillcates has been proceediugat the. rale of about ISU.UOU per mouth, about 7ft per cent of these being cases under the new Usv. Tlie Commissioner expresses the opinion that he will be able to carefully adjudicate and allow :i'iU.UI( claims during tht1 present fiscal year. The appropriation for the payment of pensions for 181KU wa.s Jl 7,:vV>.7i*),ti4U £>, leaving an unexpected surplus of $U.l.r»,l44 W. The Commissioner is quite confident that there will be no call tills year for a deficiency appropriation, notwithstanding the rapidity witu which tho work is being pushed. Tlie mistake which has been made by many in their exaggerated estimates ot the cost of pensions is in not taking account of tlie diminished value of lir&t payments under the recent legislation. These payments undent he general law, have heeu tor manv years vcrv large, as the jyen.sions, when allowed, dated from the time of filing the claim, and most of these claims have been pending fur years. The first payments under tlie law of June, 1J-W, are relatively small, and, as the per cent ot the cash increases and that of the old cull diminishes, the annual aggreg a t e of lirSt payments is laru'eh* reduced. The Commissioner, under date of November IU, furnishes me with the statement that during the hist four months ll;>.17."> ccrtiiioates were issued, -T,M*i under the general law and ts>,'2Kl tinder the act of June ~'7, \K 0.

KA1LKOAD Sl'lUSlDIKS. The report of the Commissioner of Hailroads shows that the total debt of the subsidized railroads to the United States was December ;U, 1S90. $112,r.l2,tJKt 06. A large part of this debt is now fa>t approaching maturity, with no adequate provision for its payment. Some policy tor dealing with this debt, with a view to its ultimate collection, should be nt once adopted. It is very difficult, well nigh impossible for so largo a body as t i e Congress to conduct the necessary negotiations and investikrationsv I therefore recommend tbat provision be made for the appointment of a commission to agree, upon and report n plan for dealing with this debt. I recommend that provision be made for the orgatii/.ation of u simple form of town government in Alaska will: power to regulate such matters as are Usually in the states under municipal control, i J K . l ' A K J ' M K V r U K A i i H K I ' I / I f l i l , . If the establishment of the Department of Agricult ire WHS regarded by anyone as a mere concession to the unenlightened d e m a n d of a worthy cliiss of people, tbat impression h a s been most effectually removed by tlie great results already attained. Its home influence has been very great in disseminating agricultural and horticultural information: in stimulating ami directing a further d h ersiiieatiou of crops; in detect.imr and eradicating diseases of domestic animals and, more than all, in the close and informal contact which it has esiabl shed and maintains wit h 1 he farmers and siock raisers of the whole country. F.very request for information has had prompt attention and every suggestion merited consideration. The scientific corps of t hv depart ineni is of a high order und is pushing its investigations wit h met hod and ent husitism. The grain crop of this year was l i e l-ir<_fest' i;i our history, '>U IUT cent greater than t !.u t of last > ear, ami yet tlie ne,v m a r k e t s t h a t have been opened and tlie larger demand resulting from short crop* m Kuiope have sustained prices to such an extent that the enormous surplus of meats i\nd breadstuff* « ill bo marketed at good prices, bringing relief a n d prosperity to an industry that was much depressed.

T'^e method; of appointment by the stales ». electors of President and Vice-President haw recently attracted renewed iiiterent by reason of a departure by the Slate of Michigan from the method whicii had become uniform iu ali the states, l'rior tu 1832, various methods bud been used by the different states and rveu In tlie. Mime state. In some the choice win twule by tUe Legislature; iu others electors c h e hy districts, but more generally by » \ oters of the whole state uptm a g»ner»l tick- -k et. The movement toward the adopttou of tho r last name! method had an early beginning aud weut steadily forward among the atateji, until in 18& there remained but a single btate. South Carolina, that had not adopted it. That state, until the civil war, continued to chocma by a vote of the Legislature, but after the ww changed its method and conformed to th» practice of the other states. For ueurljr sixty years all the states n v e one have appuiuteU ' their electorH by a popular vote *upou a general ticket, and for nearly thirty years thin method WHB universal. After a full test of other method*, without important division or dissent in any state, and without any puriKise uf party advantage, as wo must believe, but solely upon the considerations thai uniformity was de irable and that a general election iu territorial district* not subject to change wusmo&t consistent with the popmai character of our institutions, best preserved the mualitjr of the voters aad perfectly removed the-clinic* of President from the baneful Influence of the "gerrymander." the practice of all the slates WHS brought into harmony. That this concurrence should aow be broken is, 1 think, an unfortunate and even a threatening episode, and in that may well suggest whether the states tbat still give their approval to the old aud prevailing method ought not to secure, by a constitutional amendment, a practice which has had the approval of all. The recent Michigan legislation provides for choouiug what are popularly known as the congrobslonal electors /or President by congressional districts, aud the two bcuatoria.1 electors by distrh ts created for that purpose. This legislation was. of course, accompanied by a new congrtshional apportionment, and tun two statutes bring the electoral vote of thu state under the milucuoe of tlie "gerrymander." Tbeso gerrymanders for congressional purposes are in most cusus buttressed by a gerrymander of the legislative districts, thus making it impo-aible for a majority of the legal voters of the state to correct Ihe apportionment and equalize the congressional district* A minority rule has been established that only a political coavulsion can overthrow. I have recently been advised that in one county of a certain state three districts fur the election of members nf the Legislature are constituted a» follows: One hus tir>,UtJO population, cue 15,000 and tine 10.1KJ0. while in another county, de- Inched, nou-contlguous sections have beeiiuuited to make a legislative district. These methods have already found effective application to the choii e of Senators aud representatives in Congress, and now an evil start haa been made in the direction of applying them to the choice by the states of electors ot President and Vice-president. If this is accomplished we shall then have the three great departments of the government iu the grasp of the "gu1 rymander,11 luo legislative and executive directly and the judiciary indirectly through the power of appointment. An election implies a body of electors having prescribed qualifications, each one of whom has an equal value and i flueuce in determining the result. So when the Constitution provides that "each state sha.ll appoint" (elect) "in sucb manner as tlie Legislature thereof may direct, & number of electors," etc., an unrestricted power was not given to the Legislatures in the selection of methods to be used. "A republican form of government" is guaranteed by the Constitution to each state aud tho power given by the same instrument to the Legislatures of the states to prescribe methods for the choice, by the states, of electors must be exercised under that limitation. The essential features of such a government are ths right of the people to choose their own offl.cer, aud the nearest practicable equality of value in the BtitTrages given in determining that choice. It will not be claimed tbat the power given to the Legislature would support a law providing that the persons receiving the smallest vote should b<- the electors, or a law that all the electors should be chosen by the voters of a single cnogreiftional district. The state is to choose, and, under the preteuse of regulating methods. Ihe Legislature can neither ve«t the right of choice elsewhere nor adopt method* nut conformable to republican institutions. It is not my purpose here to discuss the question whether a choice ^.y the Legislature or oy the voters of equal single districts is a choice by the state, but only to recommend such regulation of this matter hy constitutional amendment as will secure uniformity and prevent that disgraceful partisan jugglery to which such a liberty of choice, if it exists, offers a temptation. Nothing now is more important than to provltie every guaranty for tho absolutely fair and free choice by an equal sulfrage, within the respective states, of all the officers of the national government whether that suffrage is applied directly, as iu the choice of members of the House ol Retirementutiveu, or indirectly', as in the choico or Senators and electors of President. Respect for public officers and obedience to law will not cease to be the characteristics of our people until our elections cease to declare the will of the majorities fairly ascertained, without fraud, suppression or gerrymander. If I were called upon to declare wherein our chief national danger lies I should say, without hesitation, in the over throw of majority control bv thu suppression or perversion of tlie popular suffrage. That there is a real danger' here all must agree, but the energies of those who see it nave been ei.eerfully expended in trying to fix resporisibilit y upon the opposite party, rather Mian in efforts to make such practices impossible by either parly. Is it not possinlc now to adjourn that interminable and inconclusive debate while we take, by consent, on« step in the direction of i'i form by eliminating the gerrymander whicii has been denounced by all parties as an influence in the election of electors of President and members of Congress? All the states have, acting freely and separately, determined |hat the choice of electors by a general ticket is the safeht method and it would seem there could tie no objection to a constitutional amendment making that method permanent. If a Legislature, chosen in one year upon purely local questions should, pending a presidential contest, meet, rescind the law for a choice upon a general ticket, am} provide for the choice of electors by the Legislature, and this trick should determine the result, it is not too much to say that the public, peace might be seriously and widely endangered. 1 have alluded to tlie "gerrymander" as atTecfing thu method of selecting electors of President by congressional districts, but the primary intent ami effect of this form of political roblniy have relation to the selection of moTTibers of the House of Representatives. The-power of Congress is ample to deal' with this threatening and intolerable abuse. The unfailing test, of sincerity in election reform will be found in a willingness to confer as t<\ mum! irs and to put into force such measures as will most efK'Ctually preserve the right ot the people to Iron and equal representation. Wliile the policies of the general government npon the tariff, upon the restoration of w r merchant marine, upon river and harboi improvements aud other such mat tursof grave and general concern are liable to be turned this wa-y-or that hy the resultsof rongrewjioo- !kl elections and administrative policies, sometimes involving issues that-.tend to peace ot war, to bo turned this way or that by tho results of a presidential election, there isa rightful interest, iu all the states and in every coneresnional district that will" not hi deceived or silenced by tha audacious pretense that the question ol the right of any body of legal voters in an> slate or in any nongicssional distviat to give their sutirages freely upon these general questions is a matter only of locai c, iiia«rn or control. The demand that the limitations ot sin'trage shall be found in tho. Ihw, and only there,, is a jus-t demand, ami no just man should redout or resist it.

"My dear," said the old man, taking my hand, "you see that I have watched you all, prisoner a« I am; whispers anel chessmen keep nothing baek. I will tell you what I aw goinjj to do. Until Annis fires me her confidence—I never force confidences—I know nothing of these things. I am not angry with litr; ami, when I die, I shall leave h<« just what I always intended to do —neither morn nor less. As to Gilbert, although I regret for somo reasons b* did uot, ns I certainly expected ef Lira, court his cousin Hilda, because now he has baffled my plans lam Buttoned with his choice. But, for the present, things remain aw they were. I am not going to let him come back; I know we should get on no better now than ever. I rescind none of ray orders, I shall not leave him any of my money, for I am not in the hahlt of changing ray mind." kkThere Is something which would be more precious to him than your money.; may I tell Li in that yon forgive him?" "Yes, you may," he said, after a few UKH mf*nts' hrsitution—"but not :it present. When yon are nmrrleil, you mny tell him all you please of what I have «iid to you now; until then It must regain sealed, and, like everything else t,hat goe-* on in this room, not a word will 1 have repeated.

"Yes, yes," lie said testily; "and I shonld b« suspicious of him, and— It I I'll think about it when rle<l, but not a syllable shall In; heur till then. You can keep a secret, Miss Theme.

"You must promise," he said. - "Since you wish it," I answered slowly, "I cannot refuse, sir; but " "Leave the lbuts'; I can't argrie. It's a question of that or the withdrawal of the pardon altogether," he said, with his dictatorial directness. "Now for the Times, if you please, and business." And so things relapsed into their previous state, and the day* parsed on. We wera fettered, and were conscious of our shackles; but we could do nuthintf. It was a Ktranjjex life, aud at times I fretted and struggled against my bonds; but Gilbert and I were all In all to each other, and I could not b<; unhappy while he was near. As for Crmvfor Carden, Mr. Gaseoitrne, at my earnest roquest, let mo leave him when In1 <imrV; but no hint of my dislike served to stop the visits of the spy. or his assiduous attentions to me when I chanced t ee him, although he must have been uwa was the promised wife of Gilbert Ga^ooi*.

"You young people act by contraries nowa- days," was the old gentleman's characteristic answer. "I conclude your affection for each other quite overcame your care for my views on the subject; and your meetings were doubly sweet because they were secret, I suppose Miss Thome set you the bad example?" "No —oli, no, nncle; I set it to her 1 It began before she came, nnd I persuaded her to go witli me. It waei all my fault!" "And you repent tt all sincerely, n<» doubt?" Annis blushed and laughed very prettily, repentantly; and her uncle allowed a smile to creep into his face. "I hope y - i will be happy. Annis. I don't intend to be, vexed with yon, or to alter my opinion with regard to ttlric. You can tell him that he has made a very Rood choice, that I haven't the least Inclination . ty alter any of my plans, and that, when I die, yon will have ten thousand pounds." "Uncle," cried Annis. with bit; imploring eyes, "won't you forgive him? It's that we want, not the money. Don't talk of dying, uncle Richard r "Doesn't ten thousand pounds look like forgiveness? You will find it more useful for housekeeping, Annis I My dear, it's no question of forgiveness. I am an old man, and am living a life that suits rae, and I cannot have things revolutionised for the few days I have left, as they would be if once I ' let your cousins inside this house." And with that Annis ha I to, be content. "But it is so nice, Viola dear," nhe imparted to me, "to know that you are in just the i Aame position as I am, to know we can share our little secrets and our little sorrows, and our long beautiful happiness! Poor nncle \ Iliehard! Why didn't he got married?" ; It was not mui'h sympathy either Annis or I got from her sisters. Hilda, Increased by the knowledge that her last madly-shot arrow had n« poison to injure me, was more bitter than •*«-. Hut tfnfc could hardly explain tilt eras] disdain with which she treated me, tb« contumely she heaped upon me, the insulti for which, so long as I remained -irt-fti. Gabriel't Orango,I - had no-answer. Eversincel cam* the had been chill and h*uf hty. I knew her to be proud as Lucifer and cold as Ice; but; now I found that ice could burn like molten metal. She bad never fe*eo my friend, the had never spoken a kindly word to me, never refrained from an opportunity to remind me of my position in tbe btnsehold, had tough! at first to If* nore and then to annihilate me. At Uje beginning it had been only a htudloui neglect, a Netting at naught the fact of my press*nee. Now It was war a outrance. What L, who had never willingly made an enemy, had done to deserve this hatred X could not gaess. I thought Gilbert could have nothing to do with it, since she knew nothing of his refusal to marry her. How could I guess that she, so cold, proud, and ambitious, would have given up the Grange and her uncle'* favor, riches and brilliant position for the sake of Gilbert Ga.scoiene? How could I guess that then, when all Norbary looked upon her as the pincee of Lord Oruieby, the Karl of Scarborough's eldest son, she loved the cousin who bad nothing but htn profession aud the future pf a country lawyer? CHATTJJH XIV. One evening I had been down to the lake to meet Gilbert, in an hour stolen when Mr. Crawford Carden was poisoning Mr. Gaseoigne's ear and courting the favor of tl;« old man he looked upon as childish encugb to be cheated by his duplicity aud duped by his flattery. I kn-w thu.t in the end he would find himself deceived, for, after hia departure, Mr. Ga.->colgue would chuckle, and say to me— "Clever man, Vinla! I'm anoJd rolfain- «wnt,and he is going to cheekmate me in the ne»t move. He knows how to play two frame* at a ttnur, does Crawford Carden, and he wilt win them, as he deserves. He knows there's a ILtle sum to come to him under my will, for the last I made he himself suggested should be drawn up by another lawyer, and 1 shouldn't be surprised if be expects tlie Grange." "How can you bear to have him about you when you think thai?" I cried. But he only laughed in his dry way. On thin night, ai 1 was coming back through the Grange shrubbery, I came suddenly face to face with Gwendoline Pom* eroy. She stood perfectly still in front of me, without speaking a word. "Lady Mnrtin I" I exclaimed. I l:-d never culled her by her Christian name, although Buch was her own wish, preferred in o.ie of her periods of friendliness, and having Its root in dislike of her married title. It was a curious stormy friendship thitt existed between us; sometimes she would be almost passionately affectionate, at others she flun^ me aside when I would have sought her with an impatience as fierce. Never for an hour together could I tell what In r humor would be; but never was she happy, and always restless and changeable. "Yon!'1 she said abruptly. "Why arc you not with nude Richard? Why are you out'."' "I came to see Gilbert. Von are taking a late ramble; but it is such a lovely ui^ht, far iilensanter out of doors than in." "Yes," slip said, "perhaps it is." "May I walk up the terrace with you'* I do not want to go in yet. Mr. Gascoisne does not nr» d me, aud it is hot aud clo.ie in the house." "I am not going on the terrace, and I don't wimt company." I turned away—I was necu-tomed to her petulance; still I washed she would walk on the terrace, for down this narrow walk between the rhododendrons I knew Crawford Carden would be coming before lon£. I wondered if the-three girls ever sttspecreit anything of his visits, uhrt I could not a*-k them for my promise's Mike; but, if Gwendoline had let tne join her in friendly nui'ii, 1 think f must have been Impelled to induce her, with tlm strongest words I could use, without actually relating facts, to disniKs her maid; for that very eventne, as I csune out, I had seen Mr. Carden enter the Grangeby the little side-door, mid by the dour Mathilda met him, nnd I *>nw her place in his hand a'note -tin1 record of her ewn spyimr. As I wall.c-d towards the hnus.e Gweiuli*- Une sttipp d N:iek and hiM her hand OJI my arm. "Viola," she cried, "don't leave me! Stay with me, whether I want you or not. Don't leave tne herd by m\*Hf.

I noticed that he did not try to avoid her, a.s niirht have been expected from his secret visits, but stopped, and, as 1 cuinf up, I heard him say- - "What does this mean'/" "It means that I am taking an evening walk, Mr. C;:rden," she answered coldly— and 1 did not wonder at the coldness—"with my friend, MI'-s Thorn-." "To be sure I" he answered at once. "Very pleasant, is it not? Good evening to you, Miss Thurne. I hope you will nee that I^aily Alartln does not stay out !ou£ enough to taka cold.

"Is she?"-and she laughed harshly. "1 am goin'< in. I am cold." A sudden strange fear seized upon me. What did it mean? I knew not what it was that I feared; but mechanically I followed Gwendoline Into the house, and mechanically went up-stairs to Mr. Gascoigne. We played at c)if ss until an unus-'.ally late hour. As soon as he dismissed me, I soiyht Annis, and intricacies of squares and mates, king's bishops, and queen's knights still thronged in a haze abont my brain, as though they were the living present difficulties of life. Ann's was sitting in her bed-room readinsr, waiting for Lucy to come toiler. She had herself nnfaatened her hair, which hnnj like H vcl!ow veil of Uoss-silk around her pretty fair face, and she had put on her white wrapper, anii -thrust her feet Into ribbondt'cktHi pink-wool slippers. She was engrossed in h T book, but looked up with a smile to greet me. We had huil many a peasant little talk at thai hour in the room, two fond and happy girls as we were, in the depths of our love's young ilrram, with the future all in a golden glory before us: but r>-nii:ht I had not come for this plpa~-H"l chat.

DEC. 17, If you hi'ar n had story on any one, remember thnf, if it is true. by repenting it you put an obstacle in the way of the guilty man to prevent his doing better in the future, and if is not' true, you do him a greater injury than you could have done in any other way. There are so many good reasons why you should not repeat gossip, and not one why you should, that if you stop -and reflect you will never be guilty of it. You know that after ycHi bavesaid it you cannot unsay it or limit, the number to whom your words will be repeated. Kx Gentleness with stock of all kinds should be the rule on the farm. Where animals are beaten or kick "-; occasion offers, the time iiu _ come when it may all be paid back with interest, so that, apart from considerations of humanity, abusing" the dumb creatures does not pay. As for ; the person who may have charge of animals, if he is at all inclined to be rude, kindness to the creatures under his^care would be an important step in the right direction, and could not fail to have a most salutary effect on his own moral nature. Ex. The rapid advancement of women along many lines hitherto traversed exclusively by the sterner sex, is causing much uneasiness among those who imagine that in consequence woman will lose her most potent charm womanliness. These fears are not well grounded and not borne out by the fvidence. Everywhere women is proving herself not only a "person" but a very superior being :n every way. The world has n«rd of all her capabilities, all her sources of mind ami heart. The progress of the race is identical with the advancement of woman wherever her capabilities may lead.—American Farmer. The new President of Chili is in a situation that appears singular to Americans. He will not be inaugurated until the day after Christmas, and yet he is apparently in the full exercise of Presidential authority. AVhile it is true that this situation is the outcome of the recent successful revolution, it has another and distinct significance. It conveys strongly the impression that inauguration will be a matter of form, and that the Preident-elect is chief of state by force of his triumphant army and navy, and not by any genuine exercise of popular suffrage. In other words, Chili is approaching _or has arrived at the c.'Qiiditiuu_ui sther South and Central American States ruled by military dictators, with--*4w-tious_us. a- matter of Trrnn. The situation is one. to be deplored, but recognized. I t calls for a firm policy on the part of the United States in dealing with countries thus governed.—Press. Shall We Do With Our Boys!"

Coroner's Finding in tbe JUulllken Murder.--Annual Meeting ol' the Ciran^e at Lan»lutf. FAHM machinery did not coin^ into general use until ia.i ;u;jro wuro conyinood by thoir own eyea that it would lessen materially the co^t of produotion. So it is with roads. When- •rer farmers are convinced that food roads will cheapen the co.^t of production they will take step? to create tboro ugh fares as harJ rind ffflTtSot^ as those in THR measure of the consumption of food and clothing by a community is the true measure of its prosperity. The man who has been limited by •tress of poverty to the use of meat bu| once a day and to the purchase of but ooe suit of clothing1 a year begins to eat meat twioe or thrice a day and to purohaee two or three suits a year as soon as his income is enlarged. TUK old Norae vikings have been reduced to the ranks by a new etymology. John Fiske says that the word rfejmes with "ticking," not with ••striking,11 and instead of meaning any tort of 'king," describes a man who livee on one of the bays or fjords that indent, the Scandinavian coast. ID •neient d'^ys he wa9 a sort of longshoreman, fisherman, stevedoro and general dockwollopor, who indulged iiS piracy as a sido line. The Grmidmotlirr Exonerated. The coroner's jury at Milliknu ooipuneled to investiguUi the circumstances attending tho death of Ada Turuer ut the burning of her graDdniQther1* dwelliop three miles east of Mulhken, reached a verdict on the 5th, after uu all duy's session. It is tot the effect thut whileiUie girl came to her death by unlawful means, the contributing cause could not be agreed upon. While the verdict is not as conclusive as desired, it is probably as nearly so as could bo expected under the intense excitement prevailing in the neighborhood, which bus been intensified from duy to Jay fur u week. One result reached, however, Is llu< exoneration of the grandmother, Sarah Turner, from playing any part in the tragedy. The jury were flrtu in their convictions that the tire was of inceudiary origin, but wheu the effort to fasten it ui>ou the grandmother failed, there was no testimony before the jury to enable TIWMI UI iaston it upon uny body else. T h e Blow at t l r a n d H a v e n . The severe gsile that visited Grand Haven on the 4th, did considerable damage, blowing down sipus und numerous trees, and tho U., C}. H. & M. semaphore. The swing bridge between that place and Spring Lake was blown down, and is a complete wreck, and team traffic between there and Spring Laku and Ferrysburg is completely stopped. Four men were on tbe bridge at the time it fell, and one was injured quite badly.

Tbe building was set OQ fire by some unknown person. Mono of the contents were saved, us no water was near, save in the kitchen, where tho tire was started. Great excitement and indignation prevail ambng all classes. Too MUCH of tho knowledge received in schools ia simply book knowledge, and many of our boys and girls leave school and study forever without the least idea of tho practical use of tboir education.

A fiENTLKMAS is always courteous to hia speech. He in especially courteous in addressing servants or others whose positions place them at a disadvantage in controversy. To speak nadely to thone who cannot resent the affront is mean and cowardly, and a gentleman is never mean or cowardly. But, apart from all that, why should any one wish to be rude in speech to those who serve him? What advantage doe* he hope to pain? What part •f his nalure does he gratify, unless hie nature bo base in a degree not eommon among men of decent bringing up? Arrogant self-assertion is the •ureat possible mark of vulgarity of •Bind, whethar the man guilty of it is a duke or a,coal-heaver, the master of a palace or the humble servitor upon premises. LITERATURE can be taught, lirot, in connection with reading, oven in the primary clas^en. By the uso ot ohort atorieq literature can be mad • very interesting to primary classos. Children love stories. Let the teacher, in the form of stories, impress upon tho minds of his pupils >i few characteristic features in the life of an author or of his writings, and they will remember him ever afterward in all hia productions and study them with more pleasure than before. Tell them of the benevolence of Goldsmith, the insanity of Cowper, tbe poverty of Bums, the melancholy of Johnson and tho blindness of Milton. In American literature tell them of tbe friendship of Drake and Hal leek, tho poetical genius of Bryant, and of Whittier, the scholarly versatility of I/OwelL of the wit and success of Holrm a. tho beginnings «if the literary life of Cooper, tho wanderings of Bayard Taylor, etc., and it cannot fail to create an interest in the reading class and a love of literature.

Speaking about the Yandsrbllts rt> minds me of a story told mo by a cer. ia-ia noted newspaper man aa he reeeived it from the lips of the ulcW V'anderbilt It waa an account of Ui xjcasion wive a Gen. Grant, La deapcmlion, went alone to Mr. Yanderbilt to borrow money to tide over the Ward- [iract business. Gen. Grant was not a business man, lays the Cincinnati Commerctal-Gatette. He knew nothing of business methods. He was keenly sensitive in money matters and had seen much of poverty and pecuniary trouble. Few people can ever know what it cost Lien. Grant in humiliation and distress bo make the visit to Vanderbilt Ue sent hi* card to Mr. Vaaderbilt during the latter's business hours. When Mr. Vanderbilt saw the card he stepped out into the ante-room and bhore saw Gen. Grant sitting with other people, waiting for an audience La the order in which be had entered. He greeted the general warmly and asked him to step into the private office. Gen. Grunt -w back, saying that there were oilier persons ahead of him and he would await his turn. Mr. Vanderbilt insisted and Gen. Grant passed into the private offices. He was not there over five minutes. Mr. Vanderbilt seated himself, but Gen. Graut remained standing, declining to take a seat and holding his soft hat* with military cord, in his hand. Gen. Grant Baid: "I have come on a matter of business. Mr. Vanderbilt" "All r i g h t " said Mr. Vanderbilt. "Is there anv thing I can do for you, generalP" for he suspected the nature of the general's visit. SaLd Gen. Grant, with a ghost of a smilo: ••! would like to exchange checks with you." "Glad to hear i t " said Mr. V underbill drawing to him a check-bock and dipping hia pen in the ink. "How much shall it be?" Gen. Grant hesitated and looked away and finally answered in a low voice: '*Ono Hundred""and fifty thoueand dollars." The chock was quickly filled out and handed to Gen. Grant He took it, grasped Mr. VanderbiltVhand a moment and walked out hurriedly without a word. The rest of t h e matter is~tnowh— the conveyance of the swords and relics. &c, to Mr. Vanderbilt I spoke of this pathetic story to John Russell Young, wnowas a fellow traveler with me on a Maine train ono long and pleasant day recently, and he was certainly as near to Grant as any other man, who said he had no doubt of its correctness, and I have given it as it was given to me. John Russell Young added his belief that had it not been for that trouble Gen. Grant might be stLl alive and among us.—Chicago Nows. FRENCH COOKERY TERMS.

To the horrors of famine in Rus*l» have been added smallpox, which ia carrying off large numbers of the impoverished people, who, ia their weakened condition, fall a ready prey to the disease. No mention of tho existence uf smallpox is mude by the newspapers. Tbis is due to secret Instructions Issued by the police ordering tho newspapers to Ignore the famine and epidemic of smallpox. In two small villages of the government of Hiazen, 2U0 persons are down with the loathsome disease and 50 deaths have already occurred. Smallpox is also ravaging the provinces of Viatka, Samara, Kharkoff, Vladimir, Kursk, Orenburg, Peterhofl and Saratoff. In addition to this visit of smallpox, typhus fever is carrying off numerous victims in various provinces. On the whole, a more gloomy outlook could not be well imagined, and although the few doctors scattered through the country are doing their utmost to sUy the disease their efforts are almost useless. The people have reached a stance where they think it useless tc fight against any affliction sent to them, and consequently maoy who might recover had they any energy or will power, lie down and succumb to disease without making a single effort ia their own behalf. Maoy, too, prefer death from disease to suffering the flow torture of death from starvation. NO MOKE WAR. CHURCHES ALLIED TO SECURE AN INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION. 8OPER SLIPPED. The Secretary of Stale Resigns I pon the I'rgeut Hequeit ol'f«ov. Wlimim. Daniel E. Soper, tho debonair secretary of state, under the present administration, has been brought up with a short tunn by Gov. Winans. For some time past rumors of pending trouble in that department have been quietly circulated at Lansing, so many were not astonished when it was announced that Gov. Winans had asked Mr. Sopor to step down and out immediately. The charges were brought against Soper by Mayor Johnson, of Lansing, and include the disposal of property belonging to tho state, purchasing unnecessary supplies, demanding a portion of the salary of Louis E. licwley, assistant secretary of state, to be paid to him. and corruptly appropriated state funds to himself. When summoned to appear before the governor, Soper acknowledged his guilt und said ho would tender his, resignation to take effect on January 1. He was informed that it must be given at once to take immediate effect and the consequence now is Mr. Daniel E. Soper, erstwhile social lion of the cupitol city, is now out of a jab. Many who have watched his career express the opinion that Mr. Soper's private Ida was a trifle vapid for safety. The MOCK Breeder*. The Michigan association of breeders of improved livo stock held a series of interesting meetings at Lansing last v/eok. President Wm.

On one of the leading thoroughfares five highwaymen suddenly surrouuded one of Uncle Sum's biggest mailt1 wagons and at revolver point forced the postal employes to throw out several sacks. Tho bulky government vehicle was then sent flyiug on its journey, th« occupants being threatened with instant death if they made outcry or stopped. So complete was the surprise effected by the bandits that the mail drivers failed to utilize the services of a large bulldog which was beside thorn on their seat. Near midnight the stolen mail-sucks, slit open and' rilled of their content, were found on Superior street, iu tue north division of the oity, fully three miles from the scene of the robbery. At thut hour every available man of tho city detective force and the postofflee- inspeelor'a-stafl were straininjj_e_very_ nerve to obtain a clue to the identity of. the highwaymen or their whereabouts.

T li' ti y \v e v^ 0 amony the first exiles un^ler the adminis t r a t i v e process, that is. exi led without trial. They were refined, educated and wealthy My grandmother, a beautiful young Woman of 26 years, was, during part of her journey, chained to a male convict t>f the lowest class. The treatment she then received drove my grandfather to frenzy, and he was killed by •an officer a week ~vfffter they left St. Petersburg. Whether there <vas ever any notice taken of his death I cannot tell. Three weeks after in)' grandmother tfave birth to a daughter— my mother. Impossible ns it may teem, they both lived, and to prove that there in a spark of manhood in the most hardened my grandmother received rather better treatment afterward, though how she eould have lived (Jod only knows. At length she readied Tomsk, and there her journey ended. Her sentence of banishment had been for twenty-yeans, and she. knew that meant for life. Hopelessly she dragged herself from house to iiouso. seeking a shelter for herself and little, one. At length it wretched peasant gave her the use of one miserable, room. She entered, believtng she should atTen sf"fihcfsciTitude; even thiR is denied political exiles. At any moment an officer may invado their privacy and their poor belongings pass under his inspection. Hourly this most wretched woman prayed for death for herself and child, but they-lived on and oruan'd strangely enoug-h the little one throve. They lived upon the small allowance furnished by the government treasury for the support of those unable to work. This was barel}' enougih to prevent starvation; not enough to give thorn one comfort, not even paper and ink. Correspondence was, however, a doubtful pleasure, as every letter received or sent had to pass under the inspection of an officer. Many a night after that dreary cottage. The mother,was now unable to leave her miserable bed. Christinas was approaching and Mary had never had a Christmas present in her life. Young and old, as you gather about your Christmas trees on this blessed morn, think of this little girl! She is only the type of a class. There are "ttja-my more as forlorn, though, thank <tod, she now stands "where w liters arid where storms are calm, and the eternal hills are beautiful," 1 think of her always. __J_ wilJJiaveJQi> present. I will have nothing but an opportunity to work for those I love, who are still in exile. 1 write "only to arouse attention. To help by ever so little is better than to sit still. When I read of those who give their lives in this cause how I exult—how I long for their glorious martvrdom. But patience—my day will come. My grandmother knew that the coining PRAYED FOR DEATH they had retired their room was entered and everything examined—even the bed. Through all this they lived and the little Marie grew into a fair, large-eyed. timid girl, with a beauty so rare and delicate that her mother's hoart awoke to still another ache. "With nothing to help her but the wisdom of unutterable '"lore, my jrrandmothe^ edueted her child and mnde her a worthy branch of the noble house from which she sprang. For fourteen years they had lived in "WONDER * "RAPTURE: Christmas was to be hor hist on enrth, and she poured out her whole soul in supplication to ()od to send a protector to her child. . One came, but if there is .a (lod why did he not barken sooner? One precious possession besides her treasured child my grandmother had kept all these years, so securely hidden that it had escaped the prying eyes of th<? vigilant officers. This was a picture of the little boy who died before th£ evil dors fell n,pon her. A little joyous fawd framed in curls, a manly, steady little fellow—so like the husband who had died for her- -all that was left of a happy home. This picture she had never mentioned to Marie, afraid at times to .even think of it, so ubiquitous were h-ftr persecutors. Hut now she must soon die and she would give herself the sad pleasure of bestowing this treasure upon her child for a Christmas present. Christmas eve the two .lonely ones sat encircled in each other's arms, and the mother again recounted the cherished memories of h«>r brave little boy, again told the beautiful Christmas story and the customs of happy homes in other lands. Then, it being very !ate, nnd the dnnger of a visit seeming-to he past, the mother drew from its hiding place the picture. Marie gazed upon h with wonder and rapture. NhfMiad never seen anything" so beautiful, and it was her own darling" little brother. What can I say to make you feel this as I feel it'? Pause, happy mothers and sisters, and imagine yourselves living through it. The door opened, an officer entered, snatched the picture, and after a scene I cannot describe, carried it away. He ne*er returned it. Suspicion was aroused that this poor, hollow-cheeked woman, on the verge, of the grave, ia< secret communication with St. Petersburg. A short time nfter my father took an adjoining room in this wretched cottage. My grandmother had known and loved his parents aud she poured out the most devout thanksgiving to (Jod for this friend who wonl 1 surely watch over the child. His presence • brought 'the first feeling of security she had known since her arrest so many years ago. My mother and father loved each other from the first and my grandmother died peacefully in my father's arms. After the burial they were married. The Mistletre «f Pagan Origin, The mistletoe is looked upon • as the Christinas plant. A great many people believe that the distinction is owing to the fact that it blossoms in .some count. tries at this time of the year. Such belief is founded on fiction. The mistlevoe has been an emblem of Christianity almost since the time of Chris:. It first came into use as such under th.e reigii of Pope .(Jregory I. who sent some missionaries to Albion (now England) to spread Christianity among the Druids. Some years afterwards a pilgrimage Christianized Druids visited the. Papal city bringing ' mistletoe branches and throwing them at the feet of Gregory as an evidence of .their renunciation of Dmidism. It will thus be seen that the mistletoe was first the emblem of Druid-paganism. Chrisfmns Devoted Wife- Have you any embroidered Christinas slippers?

The young employ the closing, of one year in ambitious planning for the next, the aged muse over the events of the past and contemplate the mysteries of the future. In , the lives of some the year has proved a memorable one. while in those of others it is suggestive of no special events. The hopes of one have reached fruition, the aspiration of another have fallen short of success, and thus the last day of December brings alike pleasant and sad memories. Whatever the year of l$rJl has brought to us. there is a valuable lesson to be learned. If any undertaking upon which we entered has proved unsuccessful, we can now, on looking back over the ground, see more clearly the cause of our failure. No lesson is so forcibly learned as that born of experience. A past failure ofttimes points to a future jsuccess, if_we l)iit profit by__the lesson. No year is wasted which brings to us a clear realization of our individual worth and its best employment. The experiences of the old year will make our successes during the new more assured, for we will have learned what shoals to avoid in the sea of life. If our bark has just ground over rocky reefs with but slight injury, let us feel thankful that we -were not entirely wrecked. To be successful, the truth has been tauirht that the best success is that which is born with modesty and a humble exterior. It is a poor success that brings with it an outward self-consciousness of our talents or gifts. The njo^t admired and beloved men and women are those who combine prosperity with mode>ty. And thus to all the year can be fruiiful of good re- Bults, if we hnt extract from our individual experiences only that which will be the most yirotitn Me for us to reineml'er. Then we thall be the better prepared to enter upon the New Year with wisdom. ,-c;i! and ener<rv. ran be made by 70a setting Wurtvrf ^ Stock for u a thi* winter. Uon't delay. Btart nt one Outfit KKKB.

Minn., ! some years II^-O. lie went <>u "sick report" the day before Christmas and as the doctor (an old time contract physi- i cian) had no patients in tlie hnspital,| th(rliftT^vtrs-arrrnfttcrr-iTi WIKT thrrt the : post chaplain could not use the ward for divine service on Christmas, The chaplain and the doctor were not the, best of friends, and the latter doing1 all he could to provoke him by admitting the flier as a patient, he performed a maneuver which completely overpowered his enemy. Now that fifer may have been sick, but if he was it in noway interfered with his appetite, and lying on his sick bed. with a must-! ard plaster on his manly chest, his ' thoughts were on the glorious dinner of j the morrow. Christinas day arrived ; aud with the first drum tap our fifer arose, but he ate sparingly of breakfast, for fear of not being able to do justice ' to the mid-day meal. Noon came, the ! nurse yelled out "Chuck." our fifer; vanished into the mess hall with a : Sioux war whoop. The tempting din- j ner before him well nigh paralyzed him ' with joy. especially us there were only three to eat it, j beside himself. viz: hospital 1 Reward, nurse nnd cook. Just as the j fifer got his mouth in good working order for the turkey which the steward was about to carve, the doctor came into the room with » large roll of manuscript under his arm. TakirJg a chair within three feet of the table, the man of medicine unrolled the paper, put on his spectacles and after a couple of dry : coughs remarked: •"Steward, as this is ' Christmas day I thought I would come over and read a poem I wrote in 1S*50. It is entitled 'I.iues on (Jr.int.* After the reading 1 hope you will enjoy the excellent dinner before you." The steward sank hack in his chair with a • sigh; the fifer dropped two big tears on his empty plate, rft was a few moments > past ll1 o'clock when the doctor began, it was 1:30 when he finished Hy that time the fire had died in the stove, the j dinner was cold and the sm.'-li audience ' nearly frozen. Finishing, the audience • was thanked for itsattentiveness, when \ the disciple of ^scnlapius retired for his own quarter*, where a warm and tempting1 meal awaited him. Next day the ' fifer w*» returned to "duty," and although he itill exists as a musical "windjammer" in the services of Undo Sam. he is ready to shoot an}T one mentioning poetry to him. COL.

Mills put a s^ood deal oi! sen.se in a few words when he said: "It is not the scarcity of money in the country; it is the scarcity of money in the pockets of the people who earn it that produces the distress. It'our circulation were to-day double what it is, and it was all in the pockets of a hundred thousand people, our condition would not only not be bettered, but it would be worse than it is."—Herald. If a man h a s made a speech against the union tlaj;1 which is ascribed to Mrs. Lucy Parsons, the Chicago anarchist, he would have been arrested. ~Khr denounced the 'ting as "an infamous lie," termed it ua miserable rag" and the emblem of 1*0,000,1)00 as abject slaves as the world ever saw. There is no reason why Mrs. Parsons, merely because she is of the female sex, shall be allowed to traduce the national emblem in public or private. She will make trouble for Chicago by her rantiu^ s unless the authorities take Meps to suppress her violent outbreaks.

A very ludicrous affair happened last Sunday morning about six o'- clock, when a ^entletmm living on K. Liberty street called on the coroner before he was out of bed. and in a solemn and somewhat sub- j dued voice, stated, that he had found a dead body in his yard, and thought a suicide hnd been committed. The ^'entleman then went 1o the undertaker, routed him from his morning nap, a n d hastily called up.a doc-or tVom a sound sleep, and when the coroner ;md doctor arrived fit the place, • lo, and behold, the supposed dead body had disappeared.

G.tEAT griefs, Shakspcuro tolls us, are as medicine foi jur lessor sorrows. The remedy, it may bo thought* is worse than the disease. And yet it in not BO altogether; for the overwhelming anguish which swallows up tho minor tribulations disciplines the mind, and, wh^n it has felt tho shock of real calamity, it is less likely to bo disturbed by petty annoyances. IN the complex relations which are brought about by tho requirements of modern commerce, no relations aro K more vital to tho individual members of society than those bvtweim tho money earner and tho money investor. And the question which tho student of statecraft must solve is bow far shall organized individuals, called government, interfere between theso two members of society. To BE be a', en, but not broken; to b3 victorious, but not vainglorious; to strive and contend for tho prize, and to win it honestly or lose it cheerfully; to vise every power in tho race, and yet never to wrest an undue advantago or win an unlawful mastery—verily, In all this there are training and testing of character which search it to the very roots; and'^us is a result which Is worth all that it cost us. KXCWLEDGK and Character, like material possessions, arc ours not only to have but to give; but, unlike them, the more wo give of them the more wo have. Tho miser's heap grows smaller if ho shares it with another; but the knowledgo that is shared knows no decline, and character, like tho fragranceof a flower, is forever giving itself out in both conscious and unconscious influence and gaining by what It givos. IT is a mutter of genuine congratulation to notice how many men of first-rate ability are in those days discussing the question of what can bo done for boys and girls in tho way of character building; what can bo done, in fine, in the way of inspiring them with just as hearty a zest irt launching from tho stocks, to ride tho ocean of life, a gallant and seaworthy specimen of a man or woman, as a shipmaster feels in knocking away tho blocks and Bending on a run down tho ways a stanch and beautiful cxamplo of his cwn craft.

THE club is teaching' women much —not the least of its lessons aro those l of promptness and b revity, and the methods of parliamentary proceedings. Its teachings tend to combine sentiment with business, to familiarize women with public affairs. And by way of suggestion to clubs startod or about to be started in small communities, it is an excellent idea to get some of the larger, well established clubs to send on thoir papers for a reading. • In this way clubs formed in tho vil-1 lages might identify themselves, aauxilliariesto the larger Social Science - clubs of the state, and thus combine their talent for the promotion of tho ! specific aims of all. • IT is not strange that those sanatarily wise and energetic should have bogun to use tho reform brakos agains1; horse car expectorations. One of th« chief rules in hospitals for pulmonarj patients concerns this subject, and nc expectoration, even upon tho grounds of tho premises, is allowed. This is regarded not only as foul matter, bui possibly pregnant with disease germs, and it is, therefore burned. Nowhere is this vulgar habit of expectoration so common as with; uy, and nowhere has it found so much toleration.

He worships her, and can cover her with diamonds. But Gwendoline is different; shu wants souittthing more." '"Aud Lord Martin?"' "1 don't know," said Annis. "I never could wnderj>t;ind It She had plenty of adj inirers, and he was a good match from the I world's point of view, aud is really good and ! loud of her. Yea, I am sure Martin id a good j man. But they could not have partud if they had been fond of each other. Is It nut •ad, Viola?" Ay, sad enough, I thought, if matters reimtimxl as they were. But would they? My sleep was broken and uneasy that night. I was wondering what I could do to help Gwendoline, pondering what I knew, nnd ; piecing it with what I only feared, until I Kearcely knew what was real, whether theru \ was any ground for tho supposition that , there was any secret understanding between her and Carden as to his visits—what itwas, how for it went He was false and treacherous, he was clever and unscrupulous; and I dreamed brokenly of his smiling handsome face, the shrubbery aud moonlight,' shadowy rooms and desperate- chess-problems, bishops' gambits and knights' attacks, with confused visions of Gilbert and Gwendoline, Mathilde and Mr. (laacolgne in impossible situations; then of being held back struggling intensely, by an unseen power I knew was Crawford Carden, while Gwendoline, with the satirical laugh lknew so well, threw herself into tho dark waters of the lake, I woke dazeil and weary, with aching head, and, before I had .shaken sleep off thoroughly, my still torpid brains were roused to more definite trouble than the vague alarm for Gwendoline. Annis caiua into my room, pale and frightened. **Unele Rl-hard is very ill, Viola! They sent for tho doctor an hour ago. "Wilkins says be has had a tit!'' * * * * * * • | For a month after that the life of the | muster of St. Gabriel's CI range hung on a ; thread. An able doctor from London was I Bent fcrr; we had a hospital nurse, and either Gwendoline or I was always near him. He j was surrounded by every care, and all that could be done, for him was done. I thiiiik we hardly knew how much the secluded old man, with his strange fancies, his currspeeches, Irad entered into theltves of all of us until he lay ill and helpless. He was not unconscious, and his mind remained wsnderfully acute, and clear. One day lie called rue to his side. "You remember what I told you?" he said. •'If I am not here to remind you—not till you are married—don't forget!" "I remember everything," I answered. "Nothing you wish done shall be left undone or forgotten. But you are better, and/ please Heaven, you will bo with us for long yet." "Perhaps so, perhaps BO," he murmured, "But it's all right—checkmate—all right!" Those were almost the last words 1 heard from klin. We thought he was recovering, when suddenly the cord snapped, and the hsui«l %l the black player, Death moved him gently off the chequered board e-f life. We four women were left alone, together ta St. Gabriel's Grange, lonely and in grief. The drawn blinds made the dim,silent rooms dark mid dreary, and hushed footsteps trod the long corridors. We clung together in those few dark still days between his death End his funeral with a sympathy nothing but e»mmnn grief could have brought about. I never thought <<£ leaving them, lor 1 seemed to be almost one of them then. Rut Hilda still stood aloof, cold and calm. What r-ight-h ad -I,a * i«t itger, toin t vw 1 e u p< m t h H r family circle? It was nothing to her that I had been with him during the last months of his life vniore than any one else.; it was wofH^thannothingVhftt+w wife of his nephew Gilbert Gwendoline, Annis and I were almost as Bisters, and Gwendoline was very quiet, half numbed by the sudden presence of death and its cold influence on her feverish soul. Th« news had been telegraphed to Lord Martin 1'oiueroy, and ho answered briefly that ha would b« in England to join his wife vs quickly as possible. I heard the message with a feeling of relief. Gwendoline said nothing, and betrayed nothing of pleasure or regret Gilbert and Ulric did not come to the house. "It would not be right, Viola," Gilbert said. "I will do nothing that he would not hate mo do while he was alive. Poor uncle Ktohardi I wish he had just mentioned us before he died, to show that he had forgiven us," And I longed to tell him what Mr. Gaseolgne^ had efcld to me; but my promise was a thousand times more sacred now that ho ce-uld not return to charge me with the breaking of i t "D«yeu not think," I aaked, "that his eorweni to Annjs's engagement was prool •f it?" "Xo. lie enly acquiesced in tlmt as he acquiesced in ours, because he did not think it important enough to object to, and because he did not believe it would hold. Carden tells me that uncle Richard said to him that he had very different views for both Annis and you. You were a great favorite with the old gentleman, you know, dear, and I believe Carden was half in love with you himself." 1 felt the toll-tale color rush furiously to fly brow. "Don't believe anything Mr. Carden tells you, Gilbert!" I cried. He smiled, but looked at me a little curiously. "Even Carden may slip into truths onee In a way," he answered. Two o* three distant connections of Mr. Gasc.oigne came down to the funeral, and half Norbury was assembled. In tho graveyard of the little church of Marlands St. Gabriel when he was laid in the vault of his fathers. The summer sun shone though the windows upon tho stone, monuments of Gas- £oignes In armor, Gascoigurs in ruffs, and by FtoxWn and Chantry that churchyard strettcchheedd the fields "white unto Crawford Carden was there, of course, with hypocritical sorrow on hii countenance, thinking perhaps to find himself waster of the Grange in a few hours; Afid the dead man's nephew* were there also, but they did not go back with us to the house, where the blinds were now raised, and tho great dlnlujf-rooui, never before ussd while I had been at the Grange, w.is foriuully arranged for the reading of the will. They would not have it supposed that thoy expected anything from the old man. 1 had no wish to join the family assemblage. 1 did not w»uit to be absent from the funeral, but tho will had no interest lor me since \t did not concern Gilbert. And yet everybody was a little agitated andunxious, and liad been ever uinee Air. Gaseoigne'a death, although until he wan buried they had, for deceucy'a sake, hidden the feeling. No one knew to whom St. Gabriel's Grange wan bequeathed. 1 went upstairs and wandered into the quaint old room, ho familiar, so strangely empty. 1 seemed to aec Mr. Gascoigne in the great arm-chair by the carved stone chimney-piece, and felt an Impulse to push the little chess-table to tho chair's side and arrange the pieces en the squares. As I stood In the centre of the room, look- | Ing round at the figures in armor and tho tapestry and the deep windows and tho ! high-backed piano---which 1 was soon to ' leave, with all else in St. Gabriel's Grange, perhaps never to sea again—Annis ramu to me and laid a soft lumi ou my shoulder. "Viola, 1 have bueu looking for you. Come down; you are one of us now, you know." "I thought your sisters would consider it better that I should stay away as Gilbert has done." " \ o ; your absence is noticed, and Mr. Carden says you are to be present. And I want you—it all seems so dreadful, Viola. I wish they would let me stay away." Her pretty mouth was quivering and her eyes were full of tears. I put my arm round her, and together we went into the ilimughall. l)ark figures wore, seated round—men arid women; tho two sisters with their beautiful pain faces set off by tho crape on their dull black gowns; two or three elderly gentlemen, cousins of old Mr. Gaseoigne., one military, another a country squire; and the wife of the latter, stout and con»ely, her round good-natured countenance- preternaturally solemn. There wero the servants, sitting apart, serious tmd demure—Mr. Gascoigne's old servant, honestly grieving over the loss of his master; and Mrs. Greams, supremely conscious of her position; Lucy, with every smile banished from her rosy face; and the Frenchwoman Mathilele, uoO ing everything from the corners of her black ryes; and all tke other domestics in new black suits, half awestruck by the gravity of the proceedings. Crawford Carden sat at the head of the table, and by his side was un elderly professional- looking man whom I knew to bo the London lawyer. Annis and I retreated into a corner of the long room, and prepared ourselves to listen. Mr. Carden got up to make histirst-announcoment, and spoko in his clear soft accents; but I detected a conscious gleam in his eyes ami a suppressed smile lurking beneath the corners of his dark iriustuche. Instinctively I felt that un hour of1 triumph for him must bo coming; and yet 1 trusted my old master too well to be as confident of it as was the man himself. "I believe," he began, "it will be a matter of considerable surprise to you that the lamented gentleman whose loss wo me dexploring, though he was my client and the client of my predecessor in all his business arrangements, did not oonfido his latest testamentary documents to us. Some two years since he instructed mo in a will which he then drew up; but about six w«cks since, he made another. On this occasion he said that he could not, for obvious reasons, ask my prefessiohitl assistance.

Parker and Harris of Lincoln's Inn; and my friend Mr. Parker has the exist <K!Y of the will at present." He sat down again. It did not need a very sharp eye to discover the eagerness in his face. He had fawned upon and flattered and courted and spied for Mr. Gasccigne for two years; he had lied te incriminate his nephews, lied to inculpate his niecest worked himself "assiduously into favor; and now the reward was t* come.. Others noticed the leok, others who knew nothing of all that I knew.,of Mr. Carden; and some of tho servants stared at him.

And Mr. Gasooigne's will was a len?thy ono drawn up by the lawyer, but yet with glimpses of the old gentleman's acerbity nnd sarcastic humor running through all. '"The last will and testament of mo, Richard Gascoigne of !St Gabriel's Grange, Marlands St.. Gabriel, in tho county of Fellshire." First, there came a number of small boquo* t«. No one seemed to ho forgotten; those who thought themselves completely out of the secluded man's remembrance found past friendship aud past services wore not forgotten. Tho cousins and the cousin's wife found their journey had not been in vain, ftud so far no one was Inclined to doubt that this was a just and generous will. Indeed the keenness of the old urn's knowledge made them forget to criticise, out of rery wonder. The Colonel's face was screwed up with nmazemont when he found himself requested not to use his legacy to back the favorite, for a weakness in that way wai hie guarded secret, and Marythe housemaid stared open-mouthed at a special bequest to buy her wedding-bonnet, since how could the master, whom she scarocly Music in Al From the time when medical knowiedpfos wan first embodied in rules of practice, aud probably from a much earlier period, music; held a recognized place in the treatment of disenHO.

I almost smiled to think how Mr. Gasroigiie must have chuckled fls h« wrote down nil these things, mid how he must have wished he could be present when his remarks were heard by the Innocent subject* oMhew. Hut Mr. Parker was yawing on to larger sums and to matters more intimately concealing the present occupants at the Grange.

My heart beat vehemently In spite of my supposition that 1 was not interested; I felt Aunis's hand tremble. An yet no mention had been made of the Grange, nor of ('rawford Carden, nor of Gilbert and Ulric Which of the three was to possess it? Had not Mr. Giuscoltfws positively assured us he would bwqqeath nothing to his nephews';1 "I think," thy will went on, "thut I have now settled on all my relatives, ray old friends, and my servants all that they could have expected or that I had givmithem any grounds to expect. 1 give aud bequeath to Crawford Garden of Norbury, solicitor, the sura of two hundred pounds for special professional services, with my compliments.

For a moment I sat still, aghast and dumb-stricken, and the lawyer's Toice went on like a machine, saying I know not what, I felt nothing but the scorching gaze of those eyes, saw nothing but the crowd of staring faces.

His face was intensely white, nnd his smile seemed savage in its expression. He took ruy luand—his was cold and damp—and said, in a smooth voice that jarred un my every nervo— ~ "I oongrntulate you.

Gilbert will have the Going* niter all. Uncle Richard has kept his word; but jou we he has forgiven Gilbert." And the others saw then tlmt the old man had kept his word.

They hardly knew what to make of their old master's mode of procedure; and even to Murlands and as far as> Norbury I was talked about, and no doubt criticised not always favorably. But every oneiknew Gilbert, and every ene liked him; and the fact that my engagement to him had been known n month before covered a multitude of real or imaginary sins attributed to me. When I look back, I am surprised to remember how kindly I was treated everywhere, for my unexpected fortune must have laid me open to charges of design and intrigue; but Annls's gentle aflectien silently pleaded my cause, and I dare eay they could seo that I was very fond of Gilbert and he of me—and Mr. Gascoigne had established a reputation for eccentricity. Probably they nnderstood his plans—a resolve to keep his woid, a dogged determination not outwardly to acknowledge claims he had once put aside. In effect it was the same; he knew I should in a few months be Gilbert's wife, and I was but a trustee until then. TO BK CONTINUED.

If it falls on Friday the following year is looked forward to as one of great surprises. An undent manubcript in the Uritish museum has the following1 to say of Thursday which has u beurin^ on the events of 1891. It must be conceded that in some respects it hits the right nail on the Head: "If Chrintmaa day on ThurHday be, A windy winter ye shall see; Windy weather in each week And nurd tempt-sta, strong and thick. The summer ahull be good and dry; Corn and beasts ahull multiply: That yeur is good fur land to till; KingB and princew shall die by akllL If u child burn thut day shall be, It snull happen right well for he; Of deeds, he shall be good^and Htable, Wise of hpeech and returnable. Whoso thut day goes thieving about, He shall be punished, without doubt; And if sicknewa that day betide, It shall quickly from you glide." Last winter was a windy one. The crops have been wonderful. Kings and Princes too have died by skill. The minor prophesies can only be summed up by those directly interested. Of Questionable Value.

That's what you think, perhaps, "when you read that the proprietors of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy offqr $500 reward for an incurable caso of Catarrh. Rather unusual, you think, to find the makers of a medicine trying to prove that they bolievo in it* "There must be something back of i t ! " But it's a plain, square offer, made in good faith. The only thing that's back of it is the Remedy, ft curea Catarrh in-the Head. To its mild, soothing, cleansing and healing properties, the worst cases yield, no matter how bad or of how long standing. It has a record that goes back for 25 years* It doesn't simply relievo — it perfectly and permanently cures. * With a Remedy like this, the proprietors caa make such an offer and mean it. To be sure there's risk in it, but it's so very small that they are willing to take it. You'vo " never heard of anything like this offer?" True enough.
