Two Chapters of a Life.
"Going, going, gone 1"
The auctioneer was u fine-looking
young man, and the melody of bis rieb,
deep voice called In many a paaeor-liy
from the sidewalk. We are too late, as
be has made bia last sale for the tiny,
and is just leaving the store. We can
follow him, however, and see whither
be goes so hastily. He soon turns
from the busy thoroughfare Into a quiet
street, and, alter walking several blocks,
ascends tbe steps of a somber building,
on the door of which is a large brans
plate, bearing this legend:
"YOUNG LADIES' BOARDING SCHOOL."
Kot at all abashed by this impresstvo
notice, be jingles tbe door-bell and se
renely awaits a response. Being ush
ered luto tbe parlor, be asks to see the
Priuuipal, who presently rustles iuto the
room, the customary beulguaut smile
wreathing her countenance. This smile
extends beyond its accustomed limits at
sight of tbe young man, aud verges on
to something like genuine cordiality.
"Mr. Cbauning, I am truly delighted
to see you. oa have been quite a
stranger to us f r some time. Miss
Mary has be rtal'y alarmed about
you."
' Quite .unnecessary, I assure you
Mrs. Lake. Surety one of my vigorous
frame atioald not oauee any over-weening
anxiety. You don't notice auy
hieus of a decline, do you?"
"Xo, I am glad to say. I do uot ; yet I
cannot chide your abler for reeling a
lull uneasy when she does uot bear
from you fur more thau a Week, and
your boardiug-house only a few squared
away. However, I will go ana an
nounce that the cause of her troubles is
id tbe parlor."
Boon after Mrs. Lake's departure,
Mary Cbannlni; entered tbe room, and
continued tbe lecture on her brother's
long absence.
"Well, well, Mary," said be, at last,
"I plead culltv. But I fear wbat I
have come to say will not, under tbe
circumstauees. prove verv accentable.
I have just received a call to go over to
J , anu sen out a large stock of dry
goods. A good commission is offered
me, and I hope to make a neat little
sum be Tore I return. I eball be gone
about three weeks."
"I should not feel your absence so
keeuly, Norton, if you would only be eo
gracious as to urop me a line ooea9lon
ally, to let me know that vou are in
good health. You seem to forget that
lire in a boarding-school is not the
most cheerful existence In the world:
and, although Mrs. Lake, aud in fact
everybody here, is very klud to me, yet
It is not at all pleasant to never get a
glimpse of a home-face the only one
that is left me now."
There was just a dash of tears in Iter
blue eyes as she said tbls, and her
brother, fearing a calamitous couolusiou
to tbe interview, hastened to add a few
comforting remarks, and, by dint of
some extravagant promises of future
correspondence, averted tbe threatened

How I long lor a breath of the fresh,
country air! Walter Thorpe tells me
be will be up in that vicinity about
that time, aud tbe amount of boat-rid
ing ami fishing and erudite conversa
tion that will be carried on then will
atone forall these shortcomings of mine.
I think, when I return to tbe city, I
shall at once oieu a law ofliee, and quit
my present uusinesa lor good."
"1 Unru. nji .pin it f-... nr., T

"I know vou ara not nartiai In it. and

"I'm afraid vou are a nauehtv Itoy
said his sister, fondly : "but if I ever
hear of your swindling any customers,
you may reel assured you will bear from

It is gettinir dark." said Norton.
"and I have to make eonae preparation
for my departure to-morrow ; so good
bye. I will write more frequently in
iuiu let.
Mary stood watchinsr from the win
dow, and. as hia manlv form disan
neared iu the milierine- iln.k. Iir pvm
itiieu wiin tears of pride.
-xiow nottie lie Is ! lie said. "He is
tne very nriuoe of brotlwrs."
Norton, meanwhile, was thinking of
ner. i tiey were orpbaus, and she had
that unbounded faith in his strontr. in
dependent nature which an afleetiouate
child feels in its father. He had noticed
now her cheek fluohed at the name of
Walter Thrope. "Walter Is au excel
lent fellow," he thought ; "I ktiow of no
oue t annum prefer to lilm for a brother
In-law."
His thoughts were Interrupted by au
alarm or .lire. He fell Iu with the
crowd that always springs, like niRgic,
iuto life at that dread cry, and vonn
reaoneu tne hurtling building. It was
one of those wooden tenement houses.
ami the fire had ma!euch headway be
fore It was observed that the building
was aireauy reduced to a shell.
"There is some one in that third-.Mory
window," shouted a man, and Instantly
the gaze of the crowd wa fixed uimmi
the form of a little eiri that leaned far
out in the vain Msaeb for some means of
eecape. .A ladder was hastily ulnced
against the wall, but it was several feet
too snort.
"Drop from the window." Ihev cried
but tbe bewildered child could uot com
prebend
"A man eoold stand on the topmost
rounn ami reacn ner," said one.
"Too late," was the reply. "That
wall could untsopiiort amau's weight.'
Norton's Hps paled, aud his heart
grew sick, as he saw the wretched child
thus left to Its fate.
"What if Mary should ooie day be
pertnl in tins way : lie thought.
"Ob, I cannot see her die without mak
ing an effort to save her."
Hastily muffling his face In his coat,
he Jarted up the ladder. Half way up,
he heard a warning crack, aud, ere he
could retrace his step, the wall ami
part of the roof fell, and he was hurled
in the ruins. The child, beiug higher
up than be was, fell directly in the cen
ter of the flamee and perished. The
firemen, who had just arrived, mauaged
to AVht their way to where Norton lay.
aud dragged him to the street. j
'He Is dead," said oue. j
"No, be has only fainted."
"Stand baek ami give him air." said
another, preeeiag forward as eloeely as
postinie.
No one wa able to identify tiim. and
so his crippled and senseless form was
earteu on to tne city Hospital.
"Little girl, is this Fifteenth alieet?"
The child screamed iu terror, and ran
aeroas a vacant lot. The man staggered
aejaiost a lamp-poet and groaned :
"O God, am I then en hideous?"
Ten years had pissed since Norton
Chaniiiug came out of that city hospital
cruelly deformed by that terrible fall
iuto the fire. During all these long
years he had lived the life of a vaga
bond. His one aim had been to keep
from his sister the knowledge of his
mifortuoe. He hail contrived to keep
track of her without exciting suspicion.
He knew that elie was married to Wl
ter Thorpe three years after the night of
the lire, and that she was now living on
Fifteenth street. His eyes had been
dimmed in the flames, and he could
see distinctly but a ehort distance. Yet
he had a vagoe hope that be might
look upon his sister's face once more
without her recognizing him. A hot
fever was burning in Ills veins, aud be
felt that lie was sick unto death.
"Marv inusn't know," he muttered,
feebly ; "it would make her tiuhappy to
hear of my misery. Better she should
think me dead, as I soon shall be. No ;
Mary mustn't know."
As he staggered on he came to the
gate which the child he hail addressed
had left open, as site ran through it to
the house. She was now in the arms of
her mother, who bad been attracted to
the door by her screams, aud was now
giviug an excitable narration of tier
escape from a drunken rnau.
"There he is now, mamma."
Norton Cuanuiug t-upportetl himself
against the fence, aud turned his ills
figured countenance toward the mother
and her child.
- "I would not harm you, little one,
for all the world," he said, brokeuly.
Tbe mother's cheek paled at thesouml
of that deep voice, and she said, huskily:
"Who ate you, sir?"
It was bis sister's voice, and a great
fear took hold uton him.
"She muatn't know. Mary mustn't
know."
He made an effort lo move away
from tbe fence, but his legs tottered
uuder him, and be lell senseless to the
pavement. They carried him tenderly
into the house, aud summoned a physi
cian. "He cannot live," was the verdict.
"Ills constitution was shattered by an
accident ten years ago tills evening. I
remember distinctly; it was the first
surgical examination I attended after
beginning the study of medicine. I
have often seeu htm waudering about
the streets sluce. I wouder that lie lias
survived 80 long; he must have often
suffered from huncer."
"Walter, it must be Norton," said
Mary, trembling violently ; "It 19 just
ten years ago that be left me so myste
riously. He must have been that un
known man we saw mentioned iu the
papers as having beeu injured while
trying to save an inmate of a burning
teuemeul houee."
There was no lack of kindness now.
The aching head was tenderly propped
up on pillows, aud the fevered temples
bathed. After afew hours the blurred
eyes opened wearily.
Walter."
' Yes, Norton."
Mary mustn't know
She must be
nappy. God bless her."

The ancieulH had queer ideas about
mourning for the dead. The Egyptian
women ran through the streets crying,
with their bosoms expowed and their
hair disordered. The Lyclans regarded
mourning as unmanly, aud they com
pelled men who went Into mourning to
put ou female garments. In (Jreece,
when a popular general died, the whole
army cut oil their hair and the manes
of their horses. At the preeent day the
Arabian women stain their hands anil
leet witii IuiIIko, which they sutler to
remain eight tiays. They also carefully
abstain from milk during this time, ou
the ground that its white color does not
accord with the gloom of their minds.
