Very larire, very fat, very fond of a spree, Very fond of his frlass, very fond of his smoke, And fonder by far, than aif these, of a joke, To a political barbacue Isaac once went, m And with other good fellows the day gaily spent In eatkig and drinking, which did not agree With the spacious interior of Isaac O. B., For on arriving ot home and goinjr to bed, lie was soon taken. ill and was so short of breath That lie thou't he was called by the grim angel death. So he sent for a doctor, renowned for his skill, Who hearing that Isaac was fatally ill. Did not tarrv a moment, but unto him sped. And found the old gentlemen groaning in bed, With his feet very hot and his face very red. And crying out, "Surely I soon shall be dead." "Oh nonsense! Pooh, pooh!" said the skillful M. D., "Your case is not boneless, my dear Mr. B. In fact its quite sinij.'le. The-cause is most plain, Aiid you'I soon be as right as a trivet again. "Xo doctor," gror-ned Isaac, "I'm striken by dea 11; He has got me sure Oh ! 1 bavn't got breath To tell how I suffer." "Oh! come now, sir, come," Snid the docUir "'tis plain tliat you should suffer some But your pulse is not hih, you will come to no harm For no man'ever died with his feet so warm." "I Ijnow of-a case," gasped Isaac O. B. , "So your statement does not at all reassure me: I know of a man, and his name I'll repeat John Rogers, the martyr, lie died with warm feet." Th? Music Teacher. The funeral was over; her lather was buried, and Letty Westinghoiise stood in the parlor which was to be hers no longer. Ijpr tr.ink was alrpad y in the hall, and she only waited for tiie carriage which was to bear her away. Letty was notr quite alone. Walter Webster, her father's form er clerk, who had long made his home, and stood by her in all her trouble, and it was not to Waiter shr even owed the situation as music teacher ivhich awaited her at Madam De Vral's "select establishment lor young ladies," for it had been filled by his own cousin, who was leaving to be. married, and, tluougli Walter's intercession, had recommended Letty as her successor. Gladly would Walter have taken Letty to a home of his own; but this she had declined, so gently, yet firm ly that he felt there was on hope for him, while he remained as much her faithful iriend as ever. Walter thought, and so did others, that the twice-removed cousin into whose hands, as the heaviest creditor all Mr. Westinghouse's property was about to pass, should at least have offered the daughter a home; but he did not, and' Letty was so proud and independint she would hardly have excepted it if he had. She would depend upon herself, and not any one else, and very gladly excepted the situation at Madame D Vial's until all, Letty's thoughts flew to one who. had promised to care for her, and when he came home then she would be happy. She had not told Walter of him before; lint a9 he stood beside her now, while she took her last farewell to her old homeland once more ven tured an entreaty that at some time if not now, he might hope to win her she judged it best to let him know. llI thank yon so mueh, dear Wal ter, she said," but it can never be. If I were free- I don't know dmt I am not, Walter1, I am engaged to Valetine Severance." "Then' since I cannot win you I am glad there is some one else." said noble-hearted Walter, "'-he i? traveling abroad now I believe." "Yes" said Letty. "You have written him since" "Yes, everything," answered Letty understanding why Walter hesitated. "Then it is all right, for if he is a true man, he will hasten home at once to take care of yon. I congrat ulate you with all ray heart, dear Letty. You wijl not Stay at ma- dame's very long." "Thank you;" perhaps not," W39 the reply, with a blrrsh and a smile. And then, as the hack come, she let Waiter lead her out to it. He did not cease his care then, but went with her to tiie-station, and found her a comfortable seat. "Good-by, Letty. If you ever need a friend, remember Walter. One kiss, dear sister for farewell; Mr. Severance will not care, for I have been like a brother to him for so long." lie stooped and kissed her cheek once, and was gone, and Lolty was on her way to the world alone. Three months later, as Letty was tripplingup stairs to her room at madame's, lessons over for the day, a servant handed her a card, saying the j gentleman was waiting in a small back parlor. Letty glanced at the "card: It bore the name of Valentine Sev erance. Her young heart gave the l gladdest bound it was known for her long months, as she thouaht; "Walter was right. He has come back to me. Oh, how glad I am!" Andwithout waiting to go to her room,sVe hastened into the parlor and, in her innocent joy would have thrown herself into her lover's arm but his chilling face and manner in stantly checked her and she received his cold kiss with a sinking heaitj only saying: "Oh, Valentine, I am so glad!" "Well, I am not glad!" he said im patiently. "What did you do tbis for T.euy?" "Do What for?' she askel, in in tense surprise: "Come here disgraced yourself and me." "Disgraced Valentine!" "Yes; but what are you here but a hired servant a mere nobody a working girl? Isn't that enough, Letty?'' "But I could not beg', nor starve nor steal. What could I do?" 'she asked. "You could have stayed with your cousin." - "Valntine, he never invited me to stay." y "But no doubt he would if he had known you wanted to. Write to him now, Letty, ask him to take you. You can make him like you well enoiige to give you a marriage por tion. We can't marry on air, Letty. "But we have hands to work," she declared earnestly, blushing as she spoke. ' . .''Bother work! I don't liks work: I must have money and I tell you Letty, if I marry agaiust the wishes of my folks I'll get nothing from them nothing." "Th-iy oppose it then?"queried Lett', with asparkliiig eye: "Not yet. They don't know the change in your position; but, Letty, if they find out you are here as "a mere teacher, I couldn't even get them to call on you, much less to re ceive yon into their family as an equal; I couldn't indeed, Letty." Letty rose to her feet and slowly drew off her engagement ring. She was pale her eyes glittered, but her voice 'was quite firm. "You need not try, Mr. Sever ance. They will never be called upon to receive me into their family for I will never enter it. Here, I re turn you this j'ing. I may be a teacher, but I am honored and re spected here, and a thousand times happier than I could evor be as your wife, now I really know your nature. "Well, I I'm sorry, you' know, Lr-tty," stammered Valentine, shame facedly, but taking the ring; I Wish this had never happened but I don't see how we can mar.y if you presist in this." "I shall presist, I tell you, Mr. Severance, I am honored and happy here; that is a 11. You wanceJ your release, and now you have it, and I am glad I know you before it was to late Farewell, Mr. Severance, now and forever." She turned and swept cut of the room, leaving him with the ring in his hand,- in doubt weather to call back or let her go; but selfishness tri umphed. He eonfd not marry a poor girl, and so he left Letty Wcstinghouse to light the world alone, alone white he went back to finish his travels. Two years later, Valentine came home again, heavily in debt, and not having forgotten Le'tty quite as he could have wished, for he did not'caie as muchjfor her as he could for any one. It was to hot to stay in the city, and in threo days ho was down in the country with a party of freinds. The morning after their arrival, as he stood with two of his companions, a lady and gentleman passed' them, and something made Valentine turn and look after her. "Who is that?" he asked. "The greatest catch of the season,' replied one of his friends. She come after wo did, last night. That is Miss Westinghouse, the great heiress. "Westiughouse! I knew Miss Westinghouse once, but she was not an heiress." Was she the daughter ot a whole sale merchant who died in London twoOT three year's ago? '"Yesj-she was-" It is the same Iad theiT. If you" remember, her iFafijCtiporty all went to a second cot-w.,ryo'clid not offer to do anything for'tlijj daughter until he found out wllit iynt of stuff she was. She went eff somewhere teaching, and he let her teach for one year, all the while keeping.an eye on her; and then he went to hf r and told her that he had already settled one-half her fathers property on htr; and that he was alone and looely, and if she would corui arid1 live ffith liim,and be his da.ugik'errho JhSnld make a will giving heYrth'e Tattlers property and his oyr to it.

Prof. Dufour has presented a nev; and interesting proof iha't the earth is round. The images of distant objects reflected in the Lake of Gen eva in calm weather show just tire degree of distortion which a careful mathematical calcnlatibn wou.liry'nre diet on account of the sfcajge of tu eartl!. S During a totalffe of its sur-J face the moon-assumes a copper- redr color," which gradually fades away' as the eclipse progresses. Mr. Wy Mattieu Williams accounts for this curious phenomenon by supposing that the illuminated portion of the lunar surface, lacking the protection of an atmosphere, must be made red hot by the sun's rays. Only a thin layer of the moon's substance is so heated, and when the sun's rays are withdrawn it rapidly cools, causing the fading away of the red color when in the shadow of the earth. If his hypothesis is correct, Mr. Will iams believes that the surface tem perature of the bright side of the moon must be arjout 600 degrees. Of course the dark side must be in- tensely cold, so quickly does the heat pass into space after the sun disappears. On the whole, the moon must.be. an uncomfortable world. Microscopic vision has separated ruled lines as fine as 133,000 to the inch, but, according to Prof. Rogers, the evidence that flier lines than that have been resolved tinder the microscope is not conclusive. Dr. Constantine Fahfberg recent ly described to the German Technic al Society a new gubstance which he estimates to possess-from twenty to thirty times the sweetness of cane sugar. To chemists the new body will be known as "anhydro-sul-phamin-benzoic acid.". Mons. Toussaint has shown ex perimentally the'serions dangers of eating meat nearly raw as is now so generally done.

Prof. German See has called the attention of the Paris Academy of Medicine to a new medicr.l alkaloid aid to resemble digitalis In its ac tion but having none of the objec tionoble properties of that drug. The' new substance is called convallarine and is obtained from the lilly of the valley. It acts powerfully on the heart, and lowers the pulse very de c'dcdly.
