Wuiking throughout tlio year uniting the vines, ho had acquired tho wiue color of an ouiou. Ho went to Revigny now und then to put by somo money thut ho might lmve a good dowry fot bin daughter Rosetta, a pretty la, lluiid its tho harvest field and as fresh an a May morn. Kosetta hud entered Iter eighteenth year and was much sought after. Sho drew some lovers by tho hope of finding iulicra "good match. " Others bIio at tracted by her beauty and fascination. Time lost ! Rosetta only laughed ut her luitors and found much to ridicule in thin one and that one. She laughed Lm -hi din for thut best of reasons with a young girl thut her heart wati uo longer her own. At a country festival sho hud danced several waltzes with Paolo Luurient, tho sou of a rich dealer iu Liguy. Tho brown huir, largo dark eyes, regular protilu und ca ressing voice of Paolo had produced upon Rosettu an ineffaceable impression. His gentio and afl'ablo milliners con trasted especially with tlio roughness of tho youths of Revigny. Having received a (food education, ho talked with mar velous facility, und Rosetta was not slow in listening to hint. tin tho evening of tho festival this true daughter of Eve, having lost her family voluntarily in the crowd, ro- turned to Revigny on Paolo's arm. Thev were at least two hours on tho wuy, walking slowly and compelled from time to time to pause when the wiud blew too strongly beneath tho greut poplars which lined tho avenue. They arrived nt the village, which was desert hI, and under tho field of azure studded with stars exchanged their first kiss. Very frequently ufter this Rosettu had met Paula Then his father had sent him to Paris to study medicine, and tho lovers, exchanging vows . of mutual fealty, sadly seporuted. and tins was why Rosetta laughed at the suitors who came in hundsomo Paolo's alseuco. For tho first mouths after his depar ture ho wrote regularly to Ko.se.tt a. Thou the letters became more, rare, with in tervals of a mouth. Gradually they be came luconic billets, scribbled, no doubt, iu haste ut the corner of a table in a cafo and giving evidence of growing indif ference. At last they ceased entirely. Paolo had forgotten her. It was an old story. At first Paolo had refused to take part in tho diver bions of his fellow students, the balls and brewery meetings. Then they teased him mid accused him of having left a love in the country. This miulo him angry; but, being fond of pleasure, ho soon decided to tuko his part in the play. "After all, " ho said to himself, "they lmve reason to sneer. Why quarrel with pleasure? Leave sadness to tho gray beards and profit by tho present." "But Rosettu?" his conscience niur niured. "Bah!" ho thought "She will con sole herself. Let her go. Perhaps sho hasalrendy forgotten me. 'Lovers' oaths are quickly broken,' says tlio old prov erb, and why should ours prove an ex ception to tho rule?" But Rosettu wits not to be consoled. Ou the contrary, she suffered terribly ut this abandonment nnd many times turned her mournful eyes toward Paris. Several years went by. Paolo hud known how to divert himself and yet study. After having passed his examina tion with honor ho wroto to his father for permission to establish himself in Paris. To this, however, Futher Lnu ru ut could not consent. Ho desired his on to return immediately to Liguy and establish himself them "As for tho repugnance you sown to manifest for your native country," ho wrote, "thut is not tho jKUiit in ques tion. Tho workshops of Ligny have uiailuyou a gentleman, und you belong to tlie people hero. Von owo a sacred debt to your country, and as sure as you we a gentleman this debt, my son, you will certaiuly pny. " "The deuce!" thought Puola "Fa ther Lauricnt will bo hard to convince, fcnt 1 must make him yield. Resides, if I return there, I shall see Rosetta, whom, I must confess, I have treated basely. I hope sho has not started a caudal to meet mo nt Ligny. But Fa- her Laurient would have spoken of it if she had I shull stay here." Paolo's fears were groundless. Rosetta had resigned herself to the inevitable. he dured not aspire now to lx Puolo'i fe. Would it not bo a very astonish kg thing if the little Rosetta Douiut Wld become the bride of Dr. Laurient? Tbtre would be laughter for 10 leagues 'Jont at such a wedding. So she resign d herself without anger, without bitter contented, when alone, to lament ilently her vanished dream, her castlo f cards fallen to the earth. She became pale and languid Eur elation sought in vain to discover th ae of the strange inulady that lay so heavily upon her. To all their question he said: "It is nothing only a little indispo Itlin." The Dounets, however, cousultesl th Jjost celebrated physicians of the region. cue of them could discover the cans f tho trouble. But some good country frieud had u behind Paolo and Rosetta at tht? jliuo when they made their pledge of "A. Fath.T Utmriet was at list ill- lormed of their betrothal. It was to fciui like a flash of light. He knew now jIjnj nctrum iu slguum verl perpetu !iat ailed Rosetta. He knew, and h. , duWiui.

Ul ,. Such was the telegram thut Paolo re. reived one niomiiig. Ho knew his stern father well enough t understand that he must obey him. Evidently the old gentleman was in a rage, and it would be imprudent to triflo with him. "On my faith, there is nothing but to resign myself," he murmured "I must return to my country. " The next day he was iu Ligny. "At last you are lure!" exclaimed Futher Laurient upon his arrival. "Hut not of your own will. The gentlemen of tho faculty may bo remarkable fur some things, but they m-. ni to have lit tle respect for paternal authority. Hut wo win speak" no more of that. Now that you niu hero you will allow me to present you us a future physician at Ligny, thus guaranteeing your ability. " j "But, dad, 1 have my diploma." "Our friends would laugh at that or at two diplomas. It is for mo to assure ' thein of your ability and for you to ; verify it. Well, let us learn, what they j think of you. You shall make with mo j your first round of visits. " j A moment ufter father and son were seated side by side iu a carriage which j was being rnuidlv iK.rno uloin l.v tlml vigorous liorses attached to it. ' Lutirh lit smoked a I'ii'iir U'itli nit i of satisfaction. Paolo, pleased within! ins neurt at set lug bis country again, turned ubout to look it over. Suddenly tho carriage turned sharply into an avenue flunked by jioplar trees tho avenue that Puolo hud followed with Rosettii under the starlit sky. It was tho road to Revigny. Yonder in the distance was to be perceived tho village, with the pntty houses rising from tho river's bank. At sight of it a hundred tcuder memories awoke in tho heart of tho young until, and Host tta's charming face as ho bad seen it last rumo be tween hi in and tho laiidscaK-. Tho carriage turned into tho drive, drew up before tho fifth house, and Fu ther Laurient, chicking the horses, de scended to tho earth. "Your first patieut is here," ho (aid simply. Then ho pushed the cottage disir open and entered. Puolo followed him into a lurgo room upon the lower floor. A cry burst from tho young man. I'pon an iron bedstead, curtained with lace, Ro setta lay in a half slumber. Them was an indescribable expression of sadness upon her sweet face. Reside her sat her white haired pareuts. Father Luurient advanced to tho bed, laying his rough, toil worn hand umiu tho girl a forehead "Rosetta, my child, arouso yourself. Tho girl trembled, passed her hand over her brow us if to banish souio iui portuuato dream, und then as her dim eyes opened was stupefied to seo the good face und gray whiskers of Father Laurient ami to hear the worthy man say: "I have come, Rosetta, to give your parents hope. They have consulted sev eral physicians who comprehend nothing of what ails you. 1 therefore have taken the liberty of sending to Paris for a doctor, a young man of whom much good is said und whom I guarantee" Ho was not able to say more just then the words died in his throat but, thrusting forward his sou, ho cried: "Come, doctor, take her again cure her!' Rosettu lifted her uzuro eves to the doctor, recognizing him instantly "You, Paolo! My Paolo! Is it you? And you have returned to me? Oh, if I could only live! You will stay near ine? Oh, my Paolo, iny delight! Y'ou aro a doctor and will save me! Iu your care I shall bo saved!" Tho poor chiltl was feverishly happy. Bright color showed upon her cheeks. An enchanting smile, camu to tho trem bling lips. In that moment no man who had loved hrr could resist her. "Yes," said Paolo, covering her hand with kisses, "you shall bo saved I am the cause of your illness, and I will be your euro. Thank Hod 1 have arrival in time!" t Six mouths afterward Puolo Laurient und Rosetta Dounet were united ill mar riage at Revigny. Tho operative of Ligny gavo a great ovation to tho forge master's sou and his bride, so fair un der her long veil. Then Futher Luurient said to the old Dounets, pointing to tho happy young couple: "Y'ou recollect, Dounet, the day you camo to the office to sjM'itk of the sick girl, of your Rosetta? Y'ou remember I promised you I would accomplish all?" "Y'es," responded tho vino dresser, "I recollect also tho old proverb, 'The word of a blacksmith is worth tho oath ..faking.'" Exactly so, " said Laurient, straight ening himself. Extending toward the young couple the large hand of an honest man, he re peated: "Exactly so, "ine word or a tiaca smith is win th the oath of a king. ' " F'tiui the Italian of Augusta Fa lire.

New York Journal. DRINK WITH MEALS. Liquid Food an Aid lo ll(eallon, and Cold lirlnke Hfr-li llratrd IVrMiue. Tiio incessant adjuration not to drink with meals we have always held the ro-' verse of truth from theory and from ex-' perienco. Tho latter is that dry meals cause heartburn, the former shows that splitting up the meal of solid food with liquid acts precisely like splitting logs of wood into kindling for tho fire, giving tho digestive fluid easy acctws to tho small particles, instead of sizzling untl making gas ou the outside of a wild of j thick paste. And the talk of diluting tho gastric juice is uohsense, because tho surplus tluitl drains quickly through tho stomach. Better drink too much than too little. Wo uro glad now to bo re-enforced by an Kuglish skirting mail, Mr. Horace Hayes, who says that drinking nothing during or for an hour and a half ufter meals is the ls-st of ways to traiu dowu weight, but ho cannot do it because it always brings on rheumatism probably from the solid ftssl producing ovcreoli cent rat ed suits in tho circulation, und consequent deposits in tho muscular filler. The same writer says thut tho no tion ubout uniiuuls being injured by giv ing them a drink whenhouted isastupid und cruel piece of barbarism; that it only docs them harm when the drink is very cold, by producing nervous shocks as it would to u man, while if tho chill j is taken otT it first, it refresh'-.! a heated horse to taken good drink just as it does a heated human being.

SCANDALS OF THE PLUTOCRACY. Hu1,riHiui ArMwrary le Hie rn-rr (TV. Ji-et if InU'llini'iil Coalrmiit. About u yi ar ago a scandal in the A tor family kept tho tongue of gnttsip Lu-y for tin- season. Tho conduct of Mrs. Coleiiinli Diavton. u ilauuliter oi ,lu, l,ous0 f A.lfr ,.uwn1 ,cr sepavru- i lion from her husband. Attempts to re habilitate her iu society have failed, nnd s'io has taken up her permanent lesidenci' ill Europe. The existing Yanderbilt scandal is faiiwil by improprieties ou the part of a male uicmlsT of the family. Ho is said to have been nagged into revolt against his homo by the imperious pctubiuro und offensive social nits of his wife, a ior but proud beauty and U'llo of nris locratit south- ru birth, who said nt the time of her nuptials that, us between MixhI and mnmy, it was coude-Hvnsioii ;u her part to marry tho richest man in the 1'nited States. Tho peculiar filth which made the Astor and Yanderbilt scandals uiiomi uiotily nauseous has not adhered, tu far as the public knows, to any of the do mestic relations of tholiould family. But the stories ulmut them havo not I la-en such astoexcitoeiivy of their g;ild' I'd lot, if its harassment ami humilia tions must l-o taken in an inseparable part of the possession, ruboundod wealth is not a siecitio for mental dis tress and heartache, uiiil it does not bring honor, obedience and troops) of friends t.i the undeserving. I These grcatt r mid minor scandals are more noticeable bceauso they aro blots on a inero upstart uristneracy. Two Ken crutions book these families had the most obsenra licgiiiuingss. The original Astor laid the foundation of his wealth ill the sale of iiiilikKkius, catching and skinning tho minks himself in their habitat along the Mohawk. Theorigiiial Yunderbilt acquired bis first capital iu boating garden vegetables from New j Jersey across the channel to tho Now York markets. This is not to the discredit of the original nor of the present Aston nnd Yauderbilts. Only men of great minds, great iududry uml great daring could have created tho immense fortunes which the present Astors and Yaiuler- bills inherited uml which have increased I iu their hands. But it is ridiculous thut the first and second only iu descent from these fouudersof wealth should imagine ' that its possession makes them a class si-p unted and distant from tho people, a peculiar tmil elevated social rank, tho cream of the social mass. Ancient uris tneracy, if not tlegraded by vice, lias a traditional title to respect. Mushroom aristocrat is (ho proper object of intel ligent contempt. Thut tlu se newly rich jK-oplo apply their riches to uiifructifying uses unci that some of them live scandalous lives is no justification of tho theories of com munism and anarchy. A dissolute rich man, no morn than a virtuous rich mail, , Is the just object of spoliation. To rob i the wealthy and distribute their prop erty or to rentier its imsscssiou insecure I is not u proper punishment and is not a cure for the vices, abuses and evils of wea I tli. There is another li-s.-on. Not lunch that is tho b -st in life depends ou the ownership of wealth. Thu sturtly vir . tues in which tho Is-st human society is j founded are buttressed in the homes of tho jieoplc tho common people, not raisetl by wealth to invidious elevation above others, nnd nut depressed by pov erty Ih-Iow thu comfortable level of ev eryday life. The wholesome and reputable classes who live by trade, industry ami the professions have no leisure nor disposi tion for illicit pleasures that are enjoyed in an atmosphere of scandal untl bear ulliuiatu fruit in misery. Honest Amer ican homes tho homes of tho American millions, not of millionaires are tho fortresses of popular virtue, ami tlu-ro thu principles of liberty regulutetl by law are inipregnably intrenched.

The eldest of them has been going to school only two yearn and probably washes sums iu addition from his slate with very salty tears, and the youngest has not yet been promoted to knee breeches. But, oh, my, what a stir they are making iu the llnauclal world! All boys hnvn toy banks that take from Fourth of July till Christmas to till and live minutes to empty. Wouldn't th-y open their eyes, though. if they had a real bank, with grownup people just falling over each other to put bills in it? That's tho sort of thing that is hapMuiiig to these Isiys in tho picture, ami this is how it all camo nlxuit : They havo a papa, V. 0. Lindsay, Sr., who is a bookkeeper in a jobbing house in St. Louis. Ho is only !)U years old; so, of course, ho has not forgotten how to play marbles untl fly kites aud blow up balloons, like some papas have. When this St. Louis pupa comes homo, ho is ready to play leapfrog or perform surgical os-rat ions on toys, because ho very pMis-rly thinks that ho is a bettor playmate for his own boys than auy they can (hid on the street And the boys think so too. Ho intends to have his Istys grow up men anil not toughs or dudes. Young as they arts he has taught them to be brave ami generous and truthful and good tempered Last winter ho thought it about time to teach them to save money. So one evening ho culled a meeting in tho big armchair ami asked tno boys how they would like to start a bunk. So then and there they elected officers. Papa Was to bo president; Louis 11., nged OJ yean, vice president; RoliertT., aged H years, cashier, anil Richard W. , aged & years, and , C. Lindsay, Jr., aged 1 year, directors. When the mi-ctiiig adjourned, the youngest director was fust asleep iu tho president's arms. It was decided to capitalize tho bunk at 1 100 and issue 100 shares at (1 each ami to pny some thing each week ou tho shores, any amount from a ceut up being received ami tho proper credit given. As fast as those shares aro paid up certificates are issued, signed by thu president and cashier. The very next day a burglar proof toy saftS a set of btsiks and printed stock certificates were bought ut a oost of (3. 00, which was charged to tho expense account. Fifty-one shares were taken by tho Lindsay family and -it) sold. Then there was a call for mom The capital stock has liecn increased to f 500 and all tho shares taken til bhx-ks of Ova At present the bank is making loans iu small amount ut the rate of 6 per cent a mouth ami now holds $3S of paper at this rata They have set their mark at (100 per share aud confidently expect to mako each share worth that amount by tho time thu cashier attains his major ity. Among the stockholder are resi dents of Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas, Tennessee and Mississippi. The stock was nearly all sold to children, the youngest stockholder being Miss Mabel Meeks of St. Louis, who is only eight months old. As sis in as $500 is paid in it will be invested in real estate. A Curious I'lal Trlt k. Here is a little puzzle, ail attempt to solve which will give considerable amusement at littlooxpcnse. Cut out of thin cardboard a disk thnsizo of a quar ter ami moke in the middle of It a cir cular hole tho size of a penny. Stick this disk in tho center of a pluto, when your toy is ready for usa Now obtain a small marble ami endeavor to get it into tho circular hole of tho disk. A certain amount of momentum must Isa given to tho mnrbln to get it in, but unit yon are very careful tho sumo momentum will curry it out again. Tho trick can be easily performed by bringing the marble along the disk and thou lower ing the plate quickly, as if dropping it This brings the bull over the hole, and as it will not drop quite so quickly as the plute it falls into the hole, and the trick is dune.

"Bobby" J'eel, about as well known a young fellow ulsiut town as London ever prisluccd, has romu over here with the avowed determination to marry Miss Kittio Sunford, tho daughter of thu Adams Express Sunfords, who aro of course awfully rich. These aro tho same Sunford whose action ruined John Ibs-y, ami who have pursued the remnants of his estate with singular N-rsisteiiey, Young Bobby Pct-l's ambition Is a very laudable one, as Miss Han ford is a very pretty untl accomplished girl and an lieires to Issit, ami U-tter than all has evinced u very decided partiality for Mr. Peel. At the same time many old fashioned people will object to tho mcthisl em ployed by Peel to orercoina tho opposi tion of Miss Suuford's family. He has takeu tho newspapers into his confidence nnd makes long statements about his uwu worthiness ami undying lovo und calls hi sought after relative all kinds of names for denying hi suit It is doubtful if he would try such a game at homo in England If young Peel really loves Miss San. font as ho declares he docs (in the uews paiHTs), it would be more dignllli-d for him to keep her name out of publio journals. Isivtt i a passion that needs no adver tising, ami a sweet heart's mime is not tho one to be buudicd about lu dully print. If young Peel loves Miss Sanford as much without as with her prosHx-tivu fortune, ho run clopo with her at any time provided she is willing. Love laughs at locks anil bars, but grows cohl under uewspajK-r interview and long winded statements. Another alternative also presents it self to Mr. Peed If he loves Miss Sanford as much as ho say he does (ou pupcri, why cannot he settle dowu ami do something to prove his love? Tho Sanford object to him bceaus ho has been a no'er do well anil hu cost his father a lot of money to keep him going in tho society In which hu is en titled to live. But by all otitis my advice to Bobby is to keep out of thu newspniM-r. It would bo simply horrible If ha published some of Miss Suuford's let ters to prove how she loves him. Yet ho seemed to bo just on thu verge of such insanity yesterday. Charley Knickerbocker In Nuw York Recorder. KOCH'S LATEST DISCOVERY. Ir.

It was the purpose of the health de partment. Dr. Etlson announced, to ask from tho board of estimate aud appor tionment a sufficient appropriation to establish a plant for tho prisluctiorl of this infill li bio specific, which othurwiso would be too costly to bo within the means of poor people., Dr. Etlson assert ed confidently that if this remedy were placed iu the hands of the health de partment it won hi save next year the lives of 1,600 people lu this city. The division of pathology and bacte riology at 4) Bleecker street gave au ex hibition of specimens of bacteria under tho direction of Dr. Biggs.

The cashier of the Second National bank of Altoona, Pa., has gone to Ja pan, carrying away heavy bale of the assets of that institution, possibly with the intention of helping out tho island people financially in their present crisis. To make things even some other cashier ought to ruu away to China with a like anion ut to bolster up the fiscal system of the pigtails. It would lie hard on the home depositor, but thut type of cashier ts superior to such uarrow and local in terest.
