“ Oh, I am so glad you have come, Mau­
rice!” said pretty little Emma. “ If veu can’t
discover what is the matter with Howard,
his case is hopeless.”
Maui ice Aubray was as fat as Count Fos-
co; but, it is to be hoped, not much like that
nobleman in any other respecl. Har.dsome
also was Maurice—rather ,leonine about the
head—horn, as he was accustomed to explain
—under the sign of Ceo. He was the man
for ah em rgency, and had come to his broth-
er’s post-haste, commanded by Howard’s
distressed wife.
‘ ‘I have just shaken hands with Howard
and your sister both,” said Maurice. “ He
looks peevish, but that is noiliing new. I
suppose you have not indicated the object of
my sudden descent.”
• Not a syllable. Marion simply consulted
with me as to vv hat was best. She tears he
is losing his mind.”
Maurice laughed a little.
“ Rather oppressing here—the place to
have one's head turned away. Dont you find
it dull?”
Miss Emma blushed, and glanced along
the grass, unaccountably disconcerted.
“ I—I don’ t know. I like the country.”
“ This is the country, with a vengeance I
dare say you have no society at all.
Who
lives in the cottage next door?” asked Mau­
rice, seanning the pretty gothic building
through his eyeglasses. “ A brick wall to d i­
vide the two gardens, How odd! Not an
asylum, or that sort of thing is it?”
“ Oh, no!” replied the young lady. “ A
young man lives there—a hermit.”
“ A hermit! Handsome, o f course,”
“ Oh, very handsome. He is a student,
and writes.”
“ I see—another Tennyson. He lived shut
up within himself, a tongue tied poet in the
feverous days’—isn’ t that it!”
Just then there was a tap on the window
pane. Maurice re-entered the house quick­
ly. He was met by his sister-in-law—a beau­
tiful woman, whose face was pale and care­
worn.
“ Maurice, your brotliei- is realy to receive
you now,” she said, “ I hope you will be
able to dissipate this terrible cloud that hangs
over us. . I have sent for you as a last step.”
“ I shall do what I can, of course; but are
you sure you don’t exaggerate matters a lit­
tle?”
“ Not the least. I begin to grow satisfied
he is mad. He remains moody and sullen
in his room all the time—seldom speaks to
me—when a servant knocks at the door he
gives way to a burst of lury—all night he pa­
ces the floor—are not these things signs of
insanity?”
ly. “ Many a scrape we were in together,
and many a licking we shared eh? Do you
remember the time we took away the eggs
from old Willock’s hen and put goose, tur­
key and duck, and all sorts of other eggs,
under her, and then persuaded the old man
that we heard the Gipsies bewitch him round
their fire one night? And have you foQOt-
ten old Willock’s fright when his old hen
came marching out of her nest one morning
with almost every feathered thing in crea­
tion among her brood, instead of the expect­
ed brahmas; and how the old fellow thought
this was the working outof the Gipsies spell?
And don’t you recollect the unmerciful trim­
ming we caught at home? My bones ache
yet.”
Maurice was laughing uproaroasly over
these reminiscences, and his mirth was con­
tagious, for his brother laughed too, long
heartily—evidently for the first time in ma­
ny months.
“ Why, then can’t you trust me as fully
now as you did in these times, Howard?”
continued Maurice, following up his advant­
age. “ I hope I am as true, and certainly
there is no doubt I am much less giddy. I
have learned a thing or two in all these
years.
“ You always wore sliewd and clover .Mau­
rice, and perhaps I had better he frank with
you, after all. You know what a life I am
forced to lead, and Marian has been forced
to share it. Her fidelity has changed from
that pretty sentiment we read of in poetry
to that other sort we too often experience—
the fidelity of a slave who clings to you be­
cause he can’ t get away.’,
She has been holding conference with you,
I see,” said Howard, with a dark peevish
smile. “ What she has said will weigh noth­
ing against what I have seen. Last night I
was standing at the window at the top of the
staY'caso, watching the star Jupiter, and no­
ting the peculiar brightness it so beautifully
takes as twilight deepens into night. All
kinds of idle fancies were in my mind. Sud­
denly I looked down into the garden, and—
I suppose you noticed the brick walljwhich
divides it from that next door?—two persons
stood there—my wife in her white burnoose,
was one, lingering on this side of the wall
and leaning over. On the other side stood
my handsome neighbor, Mr. Ashley Trav­
ers. I watched them with a good detl of
interest, It was a situation suggestive of
that in Millais’s picture. Presently Mr. Trav­
ers leaned over and kissed my wife, she wav­
ed her hand, and they separated, These
things I saw, remember.”
Maurice looliod very grave and disturbed.
“ Rut you have been troubled for weeks,
they tell me?” '
“ With good reason; about a month ago I
found a Idve letter, in my wife’s hand-writ­
ing, which first gave rise to my suspicions.”
“ Indeed?”
“ Judge of this for yourself,”
He handed his brother a note in Marian’s
well known pennmanship, and these were
its contents:
“ Of insanity, or dyspepsia. And can yon
imagine whether there is a secret founda­
tion—”
“ None—none! I assure you there is not
the shadow of a cause. We live like hermits,

Happily the wound was not serious, o r
the result of a hypochondriac’s diseased
imagination might have wrought a m o r e
costly cure than followed as soon as ha
learned tlie truth. That his p retty siSter-
in-law should, in the absence o f other o c ­
cupation, fall in love deeply with a hand­
some neighbor, was the most n a tu ra l
event in the world. That, knowing H o w ­
ard’s prejudice, site should c o n c e a l h er
passion, was no more strange. B ut a t first
it seemed odd that she should wear M a ri­
an’s burnoose, though that was a lso p res­
ently explained when it appeared th a t
the article was particularly b e tw itch in g
to Mr. Ashley Travers’ senses, and tlje
young lady had none of her own. * T h ere
remained only one dark doubt—the lo v e -
letter.
•‘W ell,’ ’ ’said Emma, defiahtly, “ e v e ry ­
body can’t write a good hand. I n ev er
could. Marian was always c le v e r w ith
the pen, and I dont think it any m ore
than sisterly service to come to m y assist*
ance.’ -

— It will be recollected that in the first race, run at
the Park races in this city, on the 18th of October,
the purse hung was $400. Three hundred to the
first horse, and one hundred to the second horse.
The only horses that ran in the race, were Em­
ma McCormick, entered by Jake Boom er, and
Capt. Jack, an Oregon horse, entered by A, J. Cope­
land- Emma had the race all her own way, as
Jack was a dunghill horse and really had no busi­
ness in tlie race, but she did not distance him tlie
first heat. The second heat Jack was distanced a
joug ways on very slow time. There was great
dissatisfaction about the race, aud the second mon­
ey was withheld for throe reasons. . First, to see
if there was anything w rong about tlie entry o f
Jack, or makeup of the race. There was no evi-
dece found against Mr. Copeland, or Bomar in tiro
makeup of the race, only that Copeland was badly
mistaken in matching his horse against Emma.
Second, Copeland and Bomar both claimed second
money. Third, the society were not satisfied that
either had won second money, but claimed that it
should be retained by the Association. An agreed
case was made satisfactory to all, submitting the
question to the Piesictentof the California Associa­
tion. The decision comes hack that it is Emma
McCormick’s money, and the hundred doliars'sec-
ond money, was paid over to Mr. Bonier by Mr.
Hailey, last Wednesday. The ground o f the decis­
ion is this; the money was hung for the ruces,
without any reserve by the Asssociation in the ad­
vertisement o f the race. We understand that all
parties are satisfied with the decision — Boiie

Virginia Oily, Nevada, lias a heroin© of
the most advanced type. She is only a pret-
ly waiter-girl in a restaurant, but possesses
the ability to work her way up to the headof
a 1 espectable family. From the qualities she
has displayed as a virtuous maiden her hus­
band, when she nails one, must necessarily
be second in the government o f the house­
hold. A Gold Hill miner, who boarded at
theresturant where the pretty girl slathered
around hash, had talked disparagingly of her
character. She heard it one evening. She
waited upon him and let him finish his meal.
Then shedréw a pistol with six solemn death
chambers in it, and told, the tainer jkmi-
down on his knees. He was a” , ; ! ' clinihg-
low, and did it bcfore^Qasod himself to
room. He eheejtLlous liar, and propiaim-
bo a greaj cue damsel before him was in ail
ed icts superior to most angels, so far as
tie knew to the contrary. The pretty waiter-
girl then went on with her regular business,
find that restaurant lias become popular on
her account. She will rise.

• The Boston Traveler states that a school
teacher, who had enjoyed the beflefit of a
long practice of his profession, and had watch
ed closely the influence of a newspaper upon
the minds of a family of children, gives as a
result of his observation, that without.ex-
ception, those scholars of both sexes and all
ages who have access to newspapors athome,
when compared with those who have not,
are;
1. Better readers, excelling, in pronuncia-
tioa, and consequently, read, more under-
standingly.
2. They are bettor spellers, and define
words with ease and accuracy.
3. They obtain a partial knowledge -of
geography in almost half the time it requires
others, as the newspaper has made them fa-
milliar with the location of important plac­
es and nations, knd taeir governments and
doings.
4. They are better grammarians for hav­
ing become familiar with every variety of
style in the newspaper, from common place
advertisements to the finished and classical
oration of the statesman. They more readi­
ly comprehend the meaning of the text, and,
consequently, analize its construction with
accqracy.
Dr. Hunter McGuire takes the opportuni­
ty presented in the unveiling of the statue
of Stonewall Jackson to attract public atten­
tion to some incidents in the last sickness of
Jackson, which he communicates to the Rich­
mond Dispatch. The follwing he. gives as
the general’s last.words:
“ About half past one he was told that he
had but two hours to live, and he answered
again feebly but firmly, ‘Very good; it is all
right.’ A few moments before he died ho
cried out in his delirium, ‘ Order A. P. Hill
to prepare for action!’ ‘Pass the infantry to
the front rapidly!, ‘TellMajar Hawks1—then
stopped, leaving the sentence unfinishen.
Presently as a smile of ineffable sweetness
spread itself over bis pale face, and then be
aid quietly, aud with an expression as if of
elief, ‘ Let us fcross over the river and rest
under the shade of the tree;’ and then with­
out pain or the least struggle, his spirit pass­
ed.”
