"Edna Farleigh, you are crazy! I
never heard of such a thing in my life.
I'm I'm " Mrs. Horton stopped for
want of words to express her feelings.
Edna smiled, but she stitched away
quietly, as she replied,
"I knew you would be surprised,
auntie, but I think a moment's reflection
will convince you that it is the wisest
course. I have but one hundred dollars
in the world, and the furniture that was
left from the sale. It isn't much, but
with a few inexpensive additions it will
furnish the cottage. Dr. Gray approved
luy plans, and he will rent me the place
Tory reasonably. The grounds are
planted with fruit trees, currants, straw
ierry, blackberry, raspberry, and grape
vinos, and although they have been
neglected, careful pruning and training
will restore them, and they will amply
repay it in fruit. Katy will stay with
me, and there ia Widow Marks' son, a
htrong, willing fellow, - whom I can
lure'" ' . ,
" Good gracious, Ednal To think of
hiring a man, the most improper thing
of all. What will the people say ? " and
" Mrs. Horton sank back npon the sofa,
completely overcome, i . "
Edna answered coolly, as site kept on
wun her worK,
"I have as good a right to hire a man
toiielp me, as Vx. Gray, a single man,
has to keep a woman as housekeeper.
As for the people, I do not care in the
leimt for what tuey may say.
" But there is your sowing machine,
l.iina. it would be so much more
womanly for you to earn your living by
sewing, since you are determined to be
independent; and as far as a home is
concerned, vou are welcome to star with
me as long as you live. Besides "
here Mrs. Horton hesitated an instantr
' there is Thorpe Clifford; I do not think
you are, as you say, obliged to take this
extraordinary step. You will pardon
mo, tdna, but 1 tlnnls it very strong
minded and unwomanly."
Edna did not answer immediately.
Sho was thinking how bright and happy
everything looked month ago, when
her father was living, and she had hardly
nven the future a thought. . And then
when her father died suddenly, and his
attains came to be looked into, it was
found that he was deeply in debt, and
the house was sacrmced to liquidate it
She Was entirely alone then, but her
aunt at once brought her, with the few
things that wore saved from the wreck,
to her own home. ' " ' ' '
"Thank vou for vour offer, auntie.'
blie said at last; " but I do not wish to
lie deiiendent, and I could earn but
poor living with a sewing machine." As
for Thorpe li3"ord, I do not love him,
and the woman who would marry
man simply to gain a home, would be
both wicked and worldly. I will prove
to you, Aunt Helen, that I am not un
womanly enough to do that." ;
She spoke with energy and spirit, and

and the determined litrht in her eves.

niece, terl-tririrwas farther from doing so
.now than ever beTorETVOf course, if
Edna was determined to nnsex herself,
she had the privilege of doing so, but
Mrs. Horton could not relinquish her
attempt to dissuade her without another
effort.
"Edna," she said, suddenly, "have
you forgotten Leslie Holmes ? What do
you suppose he will think when he hears
of this?"
Edna bent a trifle lower over her work
as Mrs. Horton spoke, and her thoughts
sped away to Leslie Holmes, seeking his
fortune in far-away California. Forgot
ten him ? As if she could ever forget
Leslie, who had been her closest friend
since childhood. They were not engaged,
but Edna thought they understood each
other, and they had correspon led dur
ing the two years he had been absent.
" If Leslie is the man I bclieTe him to
be, he will think no less of me; and if
he is not, it does not matter what he
thinks." ,
Then she threw aside her work and
went to feeding Chirp, her pet canary,
while Mrs. Horton sighed till her spec
tacles nearly dropped off, over Edna's
"foolishness." .
.'...'..-'., .
It was a pretty place that Edna had
chosen; and Edna herself, in a ruffled
dress of pink percale, standing under
the shade of the arbor and glancing
across the grounds, just completed the
picture. For she had been fairly settled
in her cottage now for six weeks, and it
was with no little pride that she looked
alxrnt her. The neglected apple trees
had been trimmed into neat shape, and
now were a gorgeous mass of pink blos
soms. The vines had been pruned also,
and trained up, where they were growing
finely, and giving great promise of fruit
the present season. A large plat of neg
lected strawberries had been carefully
cleaned out, with plants left at the proper
distances, and the whole top dressed with
fine compost. The balance of the gar
den was moat promising. Lettuce, peas,
onions, gooseberries, asparagus and in
fact everything in the line of garden
fruit and vegetables. were in a thriving
.condition.
John Marks had proved an invaluable
asHiatant, and Edna's time was fully em
11 H LU X UUC 111' tl
ployed in overseeing the worK, ana plan
ning for future operations. Katy was
with, her. and had the full care of the
indoor work. '
Edna had not been permitted to choose
her mode of life unmolested. People
had advised, sneered and exclaimed, ac
cording to their various ways of viewing
the matter. But Edna had coolly ig
nored them all, and kept resolutely on,
seeing which many of her former friends
quietly gave her the cold shoulder. Dr.
Gray and Thorpe Clifford were , not
among them. True and steanfost, they
stood by her, and their friendship had
smoothed many dillicnlties from her
path. She had written to Leslie Holmes
in answer to one of his letters, and in it
she had told him of the change in her
- wordly affairs, and what she had con
cluded to do. Since that time she had
heard no word from him. He had al
ways answered her letters punctually be
fore, and somehow she felt as though her
"strong-mindedness," as Mrs. Horton
jxTHisted in calling it, had something to
do with his silence.
With a last glance over the garden,
the turned to enter the sitting-room,
where Chirp was singing his sweetest
songs among the flowers in the window,
when she was arrested by Dr. Gray's
rough, hearty tones.
" Viewing your work, eh ?" he said,
stopping beside her, and casting a glance
around. " You came, you saw, and you
conquered. Madame Edna. , Beally I
didn't think it was possible to work such
a transformation as you have accom
plished here."
"I am glad you like the looks of it,
Dr. Gray. Without your counsel and
help, I am afraid I should have had poor
success. If men would accord women
more of such friendship as you have me,
we would have a better world than
we do." V
Dr. Gray looked away off where the
hills and the horizon met, with a still
farther away look in his eyes, and said,
"I never was much of a lady's man,
Edna," slowly and deliberately, " but I
have trotted you on my knee many a
time years and years ago, and it is noth
ing more than natural that I should take
an interest in you now. Have yon heard
from Leslie yet ?'"
It was the doctor's way to jump from
one subject to another, and the abrupt
question did not surprise Edna.
No; it has been seven weeks since I
heard from him. I wrote him when I
removed here, informing him of my in
tended project, but have not received an
answer yet." :
The doctor meditated, but said no
more on the subject, and after a stay of
half an hour he took his leave.
' It looks a little suspicious, and yet I
don't hardly believe it," he soliloquized,
as he went down the path. " I don't
like to be mistaken when I form an opin
ion of any one, and if Leslie liolmes
throws Edna over because of her go-ahead-a-tiveness,
I shall lie, and he will
deserve to be kicked," and the doctor
stepped a little brisker, as if he would
find pleasure in administering the pun
ishment, should it be necessary. " She's
Kot the true exit." meditatively. " and
she's bound to go ahead and win. She's
a sensible girl, a remarkably sensible
girl, and ain't afraid to soil her fingers
to p-ain an honest living. If Leslie mar
ries her. he will tret a prize."
With this tbe doctor climbed into his
buggy and disappeared down the road in
a cloud ot dust. '
' What shall I do, Edna ? Every dol
lar is gone even the roof over my head
is not my own. :
" All gone. Auntie 7 it seems as
though something must be left."
Mo: everything is swept away, it
was all entrusted to Ackron, my business
agent, and he speculated largely and
lost, and has left the country. The
debts had to be paid, of course, and it
took the last dollar in the world," and
Mrs. Horton sobbed audibly behind her
handkerchief.
Edna sat silently thinking. It was
now a year since she had moved into her
cottage, and she had been successful in
her enterprise beyond her most sanguine
expectations. She was not looking quite
as well as when we saw her last; a trifle
thinner and a trifle paler, but that
was all.
"Aunt Helen," she said, looking up
after a moment's thought, "you can
come here. I have much better facili
ties this season for raisins: fruit and veg
etables than I had last, and with the
ready market that is always here I shall
have no difficulty in supporting us both. ;
"Oh, Edna, I shall be so glad, so
thankful, too!
So it was settled. And Mrs. Horton,
with a great deal of respect and admira
tion, which almost amounted to awe, for
her niece, and which had been growing
steadily as her scheme progressed, tooK
up her abode at Edna's cottage; and Mr.
Clifford set about an investigation to see
if any of the property could be regained,
Clifford was an able lawyer, and the re
sult was that in two months time Mrs
Horton found herself possessed of her
home and sufficient of the lost property
to enable her to live at ease once more.
And Edna ? Despite her success, des
pite her "strong-mindedness," there was
more loneliness in her heart tlian she
would have cared to own, as she stood
alone on the moon-lighted, vine-wreathed
piaza toe night after her aunt had re
turned to her own home. For in the fif
teen months that had passed since she
began her new life, she had heard no
word from Leslie Holmes. She felt a
little bitter at times, and a little scornful
also, as slowly and reluctantly the un
pleasant fact that it had been as she half
feared, forced itself upon her mind.-
. "I wonder," she thought, "if he is like
other men, who preach up womanly in
dependence and usefulness, and then as
soon as a woman puts her pet theory into
practice, turns in disgust from her
'strong-mindedness.' If he is a man he
will honor mo for my independence, and
if he is not it don t matter.
But though she felt this truly, a pang
of the keenest pain shot through her at
the thought of his falseness. So absorbed
was she that sho did not hear the click
of the gate latch, nor the quick, spring
ing step that came up the walk, until it
was close beside her. one turnea men,
confronting a tall; handsome beaidod
man, at sight of whom she stopped, par
alyzed by a tide of conflicting emotions.
"Edna, my own, my brave little girl!"
"Oh, Leslie!"
Then she was in his arms, close clasped
to his breast, all the doubts and suspense
of the long' months swept away, and only
peace and sunshine left. '
Then Dr. Gray came up the path, all
unconscious, stopping in bewilderment
as he beheld the apparition before him.
"Why, bless my soul!" he exclaimed
in amazement, "if it ain't yes, it's Les
lie Holmes! You young dog, what, do
you mean by putting in an appearance
at this late day?"
"Better late than never," laughed Les
lie, as he shook the doctor's proffered
hand. "I should have been here long
since, but I heard Edna had moved
away, and not knowing where I never
wrote. I changed my quarters over a
year ago, which accounts, I suppose, for
the fact that I did not hear from her."
"Humph!" said the doctor. "It is a
good thing you can render a straight ac
count. I suppose you came back rich,
but I can tell you Edna Farleigh is a
greater fortune to any man than there is
in the mines of California."
Which was Leslie's opinion, exactly.
About the National Board op Health.
The "National Board of Health," so
often mentioned in Memphis dispatches,
is an institution not six months old. Yet
no less than three acts and a resolution of
Congress have been needed to set it in
operation. The act creating it was
approved on the 3d of March last. Seven
citizen members, appointed by the Presi
dent and paid ten dollars for each day's
actual service, and four officers, detailed
from the departments and serving with
out other pay thuu their general salaries,
compose that Board. It is designed to be
a sort of "sanitary commission," super
vising, from Washington as a headquar
ters, health matters throughout the coun
try, se tar as State authorities may per
mit. At first little else was given it to do
than to "collect inforraation'?,and "ad
vise" the departments at Washington and
Governors of States upon'qiiestions relat
ing to public health. More recently
somewhat specific duties have been as
signed. In view of the danger of im
porting disease from abroad, a law
passed in June says that when a contag
ious or infectious disease is known to ex
ist in any foreign port, the National Board
of Health may make rules to be preserved
by any vessels wishing to come to this
country, and may have a medical officer
stationed at such port for the time being,
and no vessel shall leave for America
without a certificate from that medical
officer showing her sanitary condition,
and that she has complied with her whole
duty. ; Then, as to the danger of carrying
diseases from one place within the United
States to another,1 the National Board of
Health is to co-operate witn State authori
ties in improving and enforcing quaran
tine rales ; or, if the State authorities do
not act, the National Board may prepare
proper rules, and if these are approved by
the President, he may have them en
forced. Then, again, the Consul's reports
of the sanitary condition of foreign ports,
which used to be made to the Supervising
Surgeon-General, are now directed to be
made to the Nutionnl Board, and this
Board is also to procure weekly reports
from representative places all over this
country. One of the very last acts of the
recent session was to establish permanent
offices for the Board ; and the various ap
propriations which were made to enable
it to perform its duties foot up nearly
$000,000. iV. Y. Timet.
Coating an Obelisk. The famous
Egyptian obelisk, which was recently set
up on the banks of the Thames, and
which it was found would rapidly become
disorganized by the action of the pecu
liar atmosphere, has been coated with a
silicious wash, which, it is believed, will
successfully protect its surface for years.
The effect of the process, it is said, has
surpassed expectation, and is only to be
compared to the restoration of an old oil
painting. The obelisk now appears as if
just chiseled from the rock, showing its
original colors, the quartz and feldspar
glittering in the sunlight. "The intaglio
also comes out much more distinctly than
before. .

The Prince Imperial's Boyhood.
Napoleon III. had been married three
years when the birth of the Prince Impe
rial took place, on the 16th of March,
1858. Driving through the Bois de Vin
cennes some months before, the Empress
Eugenie had made a vow that if a son
were born to her she would erect a chapel
on a spot which she designated, and
there the chapel stands now, for no vow
was ever more gladly kept. One cannot
say, in hackneyed phrase, that the birth
of the Emperor's heir proved a "death
blow" to the hopes of any political party.
ior uie uopes oi iocuoub cue uaru, ana in
1850 few people thought the Second Em
pire would last long. Scores of the most
distinguished men of France were in ex
ile ; the prisons and penal colonies were
full of political delinquents, and it was
felt that order was only maintained in
the country by the merciless system of
compression which, had been inaugura
ted at the coup d'tat. However, the
coming of an heir did add some prestige
to Napoleon, while it gave him new
and vital interest in preserving the
throne he had so strangely gotten. A
salute of one hundred and one guns an
nounced the birth of the child to the
people of Paris; and it was accounted an
auspicious circumstance that this event
should have occurred just at the time
when the negotiations for peace after the
Crimean war were in process of comple
tion. The signature of peace and the
christening of the young prince were ar
ranged to coincide on the 30th of March,
and numerous measures of clemency and
largesse were made to follow. It was
decreed that every child born on the
same day as the Prince should, on appli
cation of his parents, receive a commem
orative silver medal and a pension of one
hundred francs a year for eighteen
years, payable from the civil list. Some
live hundred applications were sent in
from poor people, and all the children
who survived till 1870 reoeived their
pensions up to that date. The boys
were in every case christened Louis
Napoleon and the girls Eugenie,
As to pardons, a partial amnesty
was promulgated, but it only included
persons who chose to make, their sub
mission to the government, and, conse
quently, few availed themselves of it.
It is related though the same story is
told incidentally to the birth of the
King of Borne that a newspaper editor
who had got into trouble took a petition
for grace to the Tuileries, and asked
leave to place it in the Prince Imperial's
hands. He was led to the cradle and
put the document inside it, whereupon
the Emperor, who was present, inquired
what the baby said, and, being told
" nothing," remarked, with a smile,
"Well, then, silence gives consent."
This story is more likely to have been
true of Napoleon than his nephew, for
the latter had too much tact to require
that suppliants for mercy should humili
ate themselves in his presence ; but, pos
sibly, the episode was revived by some
courtier who loved scenio effect. In any
case it is fortunate that the baby did not
cry out when he received the petition,
for the joke would have missed fire.
The little Prince had an English nurse
recommended by Queen Victoria, and
while he was in swaddling clothes he
used to bo held up at the nursery win
dow for the admiration of crowds who
collected in the gardens of the Tuileries
to stare at him. As soon a3 he could
toddle he was appointed a corporal in
the Imperial Guard, that the sobriquet
of " Le Petit Corporal " might be re
vived in his person; and in August, 1858,
when the French armies re-entered Paris
in procession after the Italian campaign,
he stood at the head of the Guard to do
homage to his father on the Place Ven
dome. It was not till his tenth year that
he was promoted to a sergeantship, but
soon afterwards he was reduced for some
little'act of disobedience, and remained
a corporal again for a whole year. The
Prince Imperial was never a willful boy,
though high-spirited like his mother and
thoughtful like his father. His temper
was always exquisitely sweet. Children
used to be invited to come and play with
him at the Palace, and he never abashed
them by any of the airs of a spoiled
ohild. When he drove through the
streets of Paris in the company
of his vlavmate. Louis Conneau.
and attended by a strong mounted escort
of guides, there was always a winning
smile on his face as he acknowledged the
greetings of the people; and sometimes,
when persons who had probably been on
the lookout for him ran into the road
flourishing petitions, it was touching to
see him motion to those people to fling
their papers into his carriage, knowing
as he did that the captain of his escort
was under orders not to rein in for any
body. Whenever it was possible to
grant a petition the Emperor was sure to
do so if it came through his son s hands,
for he doted on the boy, and would have
let mm have his own way in all things
The Empress, not less loving, but rather
firmer, kept the Prince under a curb that
was good for him, and it was chiefly
owing to her very wise and motherly
guidance that he became what Continen
tals call "un jeune homme bien eleve,"
and Englishmen, a perfect gentleman.
He was not fortunate as regards the
choice of tutors made for him His first
master was a man of high attainments.
and most conscientious; but he seemed
to have thought it was his duty to follow
the precepts of J. J. ltousseau, and to
convert his papil into a philosopher
Prince. He only succeeded in filling the
boy's head with jargon, and liad to be
dismissed. General rossard, who came
next, was an excellent strategist on
paper, and he could lecture learnedly on
mathematics; but he lacked geniality.
and profoundedly bored the Prince and
Louis Conneau, who was educated with
him. Young Conneau was the son of
Dr. Conneau, who had been the Empe
ror's friend during his days of captivity
at Ham. Louis Conneau and the Prince
were inseparables, except on occa
sions when etiquette obliged his
Imperial Highness to figure alone
in public ceremonials occasions
which, of course, became : more
and more numerous as time rolled oh.
The Emperor, though very reluctant to
let the Prince go away from him, yielded
to the suggestions of his Ministers that
the boy should see something of the
world, and in 18G6 began to send him
on State excursions with his mother.
In that year they visited Lor
raine ; together, and were enthusi
astically received; but this welcome
was nothing to that which they got two
years later in Corsica, at the centenary
of the island's union with Franoe. In
the country which was the cradle of his
race young Napoleon could feel that he
was indeed beloved; and from that date
it became noticeable that he understood
to what high destinies he was born. He
became suddenly so industrious that his
application, after first delighting his grim
tutor the general, ended by alarming the
court physicians, who, in consequence of
a slight attack of illness, prohibited les
sons altogether for several months. This
interval of leisure was spent by the
Prince in practicing horsemanship and
fencing, in both of which arts he became
so expert that he was enabled in after
years to carry off prizes for them at
Woolwich. He continued to read, how
ever, as much as the doctors would al
low; and the books he perused were
chiefly histories which treated of his
great-uncle's battles. No boy ever cared
so little for novels. Beyond the histori
cal romances of Alexandre Dumas and
Walter Scott, he scarcely touched any
works of fiction at all; but then to an
Emperor's heir perhaps all history is as
entertaining as romance.
The grade of sub-Lieutenant in the
Guards was conferred on the Prince Im
perial when he went with the Emperor
to join the army of Metz in 1870, Some
derision was excited by an ill-worded ac
count of the engagement at Saarbruck,
in which the Pjinoo was 'described as
having picked up dead bullets; but the
fact was he bad so much keen courage
that the officers appointed to look after
him hod some difficulty in preventing
him from exposing his life rashly. It
was a great grief to him when, after the
first reverses, he was sent to Belgium on
his way to England. . Being at Mons he
actually tried to evade the vigilance of
his custodians, and endeavored to; hire a
vehicle to convey bin) across the frontier
to Sedan. This project was happily
frustrated, and the Prince was taken
safely to England, where he lived to give
many a promise of the fine, qualities
which would have appeared in him as a
man had his life not been cut so un
timely short.
Ida Melville.
Frank Myers and Charley Beckman
were spending the summer in a small
town not far from New York ; . they pre
ferred this to the more'Tahionable -Bummer
resorts, because it was quiet. Still
they were not, by any means, en
tirely without amusement; there were
many balls and picnics, to which they
were both invited ; but Frank had only
attended ono or two, as lie cared very
little for society.
Charley was entirely different in char
acter; he was, iudeed, very attentive to
tne ladies, devoted by turns to every new
face. He, being handsome, had captured
many hearts, and was cruel in bis flirta
tions, of which he boasted to his friend.
One day the two friends sat together.
talking ot a nartv which had attended the
night before.
"Frank, did you notice Jenny Wil
liams was quite eelip-ed, last night?"
"uy whom ? "asked rank.
"Did vou see that lady in a salmon-
colored silk ? "
"You kuow that I never take notice of
ladies' dresses."
"Well, that cirl with the large blue eyes
and beautiful light brown hair? "
"tJlue eyes, did you say ? "
"Now, Frank, you know whom I mean,
for she was the most beautiful lady in the
room. She attracted the attention of
every one."
"Well, to tell the truth. I fell in love
with her mvself."
Nonsense, old fellow ! Don't deprive
mo of a small flirtation."
"No danger of that ! I wish I had any
other rival than you. Did you learn her
name?"
"No. But she is visiting at Judge
Campbell's, we might call there this even
ing; will you go with me?"
"With pleasure."
"Well, it must be as you say you are in
love with this little blonde, for you never
call on ladies. I am serry that I must
contest with you. I will call for you,
though, at eight, so be ready."
"All right."
So at half-past eight the two friends
rang Judge Campbell's door-bell. They
were shown into a beautifully furnished
room, where they found the ladies of the
house engaged in conversation with two
gentlemen ; but Charley soon found a
seat near Miss Ida Melville, the beautiful
blonde, who was very gracious to him,
almost neglecting her 'other admirers.
"Charley has, as usual, made a con
quest," thought Frank.
Presently, at Charlie's request, Ida con
sented totmg. He attended her to the
piano, and sang with her in the
chorus of her song. He had a fine
voice, which he knew, and very often as
sisted in singing. Ida sang pretty soprano,
so their voices harmonized together.
All during the evening Ida showed her
preference for Charlie, leaving the other
gentlemen to be entertained by Cora
Campbell. Frank felt discouraged while
going home, but Charlie was much de
lighted by the preference shown him.
"Frank," said he, "I am afraid this is
no flirtation, for I am quite serious about
Miss Ida; isn't she lovely ? "
"You seem to think she is, so that is
enough, without wishing to know what I
think about her," Frank answered, rather
shortly,
, "Oho ! " cried Charley. ''Perhaps I may
as well say good-night." '
"Good-night."
"After this, the friends called separately
on Ida, Charley visited her much oftener
than Frank. Indeed, he called almost
daily. Ho was received very cordially,
and soon found that he loved Ida as
deeply as he could ever love any one.and
he thought his love was returned.
When Ida told him she was going away
in a day or two, he determined, at his
next visit to avow his love for her.
The night before her departure, there
was a huye party given in her honor.
Charley Beckman was among the first
arrivals, but the house was soon filled
with guestd. Ida had not made her ap
pearance. Charley was becoming quite
impatient, when at last she entered the
room. She was dressed in lavender silk,
trimmed heavily with Yalencinnes lace ;
a necklace of pearls adorned her beauti
ful neck' and her hair shone like gold.
Never had she looked so lovely.
Charley instantly started toward her.
but he found it rattier difficult to get
through the crowd by which she was al
ready surrounded ; but at last, having
reached her aide, claimed her for the first
dance.
"Will you j?o out on the balcony with
me? It is very warm in here," he said,
i . i i. c i ,
wiien intir wauz was unisneu.
"With pleasure," Ida said. "I have been
wishing to go out in the air."
When they reached the balcony, the
young man impetuously confessed his love.
"Live without you I never can." he
said, earnestly pressing her hand to his
Iids. Win you be mine, my darling r
Ida answered "yes" so softly that none
but Charley could have heard her ; and
he bent down and kissed her sweet
lips.
"My own Ida!" he murmured, as he
pressed her to his heart.
"Charley, I have one request to make
of you: that you say nothing of this for
three months."
"It seems a strange request to make,
yet as yju wish it, t snail consent to obey
you."
"We roust appear as strangers; you
cannot writo to me nor 1 to you. Only
oneletterl willsend.tolut youknow when
to come to see me. This no doubt seems
strange to you, but it is necessary that
you suouiu regara my wis lies.
"Well, Ida, although it is cruel for you
to make such a request, I will comply
with it. JJut tnese months how 1 dread
them!"
"Now, Charley, we had better go back,
- 1- 111 - , 1 T 1
or we Bu.au ue inituteu, saiu xua.
"Must we go in soon. This is the last
time we shall be together, remember, for
three months " answered Charley.
I know that, but nevertheless we must
return for fear Mrs. Cambell will not like
our absence," said Ida.
And with one last kls, they left the
balcony.
Three months passed away. In one of
the most elegant houses of New York, a
brilliant company were assembled to
witness the wedding of Ida Melville and
Frank Myers. Just as Ida was making
her responses, a loud murmur was heard
nt the door. Ida looked up and saw
Charley Beckman.
"My God ! how could you serve mo so,
Ida ? " he cried, starting toward her.
Charles Beckman, it has been my de
sire to bo revenged upon you. Do you
remember Anna Melville," to whom you
were so devoted for two years at Sara
toga ? She was my sister. You barely
deserted her, and broke her heart- By
her death-bed I resolved to avenge her, I
have kept my word. Now go " .
Without a word, Charley left the house.
He never saw Ida again. The successful
flirt had met his punishment at last.
Whisky Dbinkino at Sabatooa.
There is less whisky being drunk in Sar
atoga this season than ever, and yet the
visitors are not on the high road to a
place of total abstinence. The whisky
sold is better by 10 per cent, and cheaper
by 20 per cent, than it was in 1872, but
still the people don't drink it, and cham
pagne and claret, with an occasional bot
tle of Burgundy, the swell thing now,
have become the popular tipple. Don't
think people hero don't drink whisky at
all, they do, and drink lots of it. Of the
line of thirsty men I saw at the Congress
Hall bar just now, eight were taking
whisky straight, two groups were drink
ing PjpcirHeidsieck, and a tU college
youth was toying with ono end of a straw
whose other end was buried deep in a
lovely milk punch. There are five places
here where there is much drinking, the
liars of the Grand Union, United States,
Congress Hall and Clarendon hotels and
at Mprrissey's gambling house. During
racing season $250 is a fair average re
turn oyer each of these bars per day, but
at other times it falls off to about 150.
Drinking over the hotel bars is at its
height from 1 in tba afternoon till 5
o'clock, when many people go to drive,
and after that from 7 until about 11
o'clock, Wine drinking Uore is a grow
ing fashion, and it seems to be catching.
People come here to idle away their
time ; to drink water at the springs in the
morning and smoke on the piazzas in the
forenoon; to dine and drive in the after
noon and evening, and therefore, having
much leisure, wine drinking becomes
with many of them only the effect of an
idle and in some cases Weak mind, reach
ing out for occuoation. Saratoqa Let?

TEHPEBAKCB LECTI7HE.
(From the Talegram, Aug. 4th.
Portlanders do not often have such a
treat a3 tbe Rev. S. Monroe . Hubbard
served up for those- who attended the
upon lemnefance meeting at tne rooms
of the Y. M. C A., on last Saturday night.
Mr. Hubbard took for his theme ''What's
the Matter?" giving a synopsis of and
combining much of his celebrated lecture
on that topic, so popular wherever he has
delivered it. lie directed ins remarks
mainly in the interest of the youth of
the land, and we but speak the senti
ments of all who heard it when we say it
was one of the most forcible, urgent and
eloquent appeals in behalf of tle young
we have recently heard. Kevieing the
whole ground he showed the corrupting
and demoralizing influences of jour soci
ety from the nue of intoxicating drinks,
and impressively put the questions, What
shall bo the close of our second century's
life as a State and Nation ? Shalt we be
a Nation ? Shall we have a stable, model
government, and an able Christian
Executive as now? Shall we have a
free and unsectarian pulpitjanj untram
meled press, free schools, an uuvioluted
Sabbath, an intelligent, prosperous and
happy people, or shall we bei a nation of
drunkards? Shall we be reveling in our
moral and political corruption and wend
ing our way to the grave of nations
crushed by the weight of drunkenness
with all its attendant vices and degrada
tions. That's what's tbe waiter, and the an
swers to these questions ard to be found
in the culture, the training,' the educa
tion of our boys and girls. That's what's
the matter I The great question in the
mind of every thoughtful man and woman
to-day is, what's to become of our chil
dren in the condition of our country the
bad habits of our people the drunken
ness, profanity, Sabbath-breaking and
political corruptions with which they
come in contact everywhere? Intel
lectual culture and heart culture is a
nation's greatest wealth, and moral char
acter its greatest bulwark. Our people
are becoming more material than spiritual.
The reverend gentleman drew a beautiful
simile of life front Oregon and our sur
rounding. After paying a glowing tribute
to Oregou and Portland, he represented
the Willamette river as childhood, the
Columbia river as youth, the Columbia Bar
the passage to manhood and womanhood,
and the Pacific Oceau as the great busy life.
Oregon is a nation iu itself great in all
the developed and undeveloped resonrcos
that constitute a nation. Portland is a
great mart of trade and immense in its
future. The actual is what now is the
possible is what may be. So morally,
parents can do much, we may all do much
to make the possibilities of our children.
Many live only in the actual, for the pres
ent, and never strive and live fur the pos
sible. The actual blacksmith was the
possible Ellibu Burrctt. The actual shoe
maker was the possible Vice President
Henry Wilson. The actual railsplittcr
was the possible Abraham Lincoln, the
revered and lamented savior of our na
tion. Notice the intellectual differences
of Newton, Shakespeare, Milton, Napo
leon, Watts and others. The causes that
produced these differences are traced to
childhood, and even to the period of
birth.
Education and moral training is the
only hope of our people. Neglect and
carelessness is too apparent in the train
ing of our youths. .. That's whaCi the mat
ter. The lecturer showed thoughtful ap
plication, deep research, and set his large
audience to thinking and inquiring wfutt'$
tlie matter. It was, as a whole, worthy the
attention of any audience, and reflected
great credit upon the eloquent speaker,
delivered as it was in his rapid and en
thusiastic manner, furnishing such a treat
as those who heard him wish much to
have repeated.
We are delighted to state that Mr. Hub
bard intends to repeat this and other
celebrated lectures of his in various parts
of our State. He has prepared with
great pains and care the following:
"What's the Matter," "America's Dan
ger," "A Man," "How to Succeed," "Not
so Bad . after alt," "Peculiarity" and
"Shams." The very titles aro suggestive
of profound and deep research in their
preparation, and in the hands of such a
pleasant, earnest and eloquent speaker as
Mr. Hubbard will not only give very great
intellectual treats, but will do an immense
amount of good. Success to so noble a
philanthropist as Rev. Mr. Hubbard.
Size in the Eye. Size with the eye,
as with the brain, is generally conceded
to be a measure of capacity. A large
eye has a wider range of vision, as it un
questionably has of expression, than a
small one. A large eye will take in more
at a glance, though perhaps with less at
tention to details, than a small one.
Generally speaking, large eyes see
things in general, and small eyes in par
ticular. The one sees many things as a
whole, considering them in a philosophi
cal or speculative way, often seeing
through and beyond them; the other sees
fewer things, but usually looks keenly
into them, and is appreciative of detail.
Some eyes, however, look at everything
and yet see nothing. Fullness of the
eye, causing a bulging of the lower eye
lid, is a well known sign of language.
Persons with this sign large have
not only a speaking eye but
also a spealing tongue, whereof
their fellows do not long re
main in ignorance. A general projec
tion or fullness of the eye above and
below, which brings the eye-ball for
ward on a line with the face and eye
brow, denotes the quality of physical
perception, or the capacity to see quickly
whatever appears upon the surface of
things. A person with suoh an eye,
would, on entering a room for the first
time, note rapidly the shape, size, ar
rangement and general appearance of the
different articles of furniture in it, the
color of the walls, curtains, ornaments,
etc.; take in with equal facility the fea
tures, color of the hair and eyes, size and
appearance of any person who might be
present. In looking at a picture such a
person would at once incline to examine
the details of color, number, grouping,
attitude and costume of the figures com
posing it.

partment of natural history has attract
ed more attention than that of the study
of internal parasites in man and other
animals. To the great multitude and
variety of creatures thus found, associat
ed by one common habit of life, have
zoologists given the general name of Hel
minths, which are a peculiar fauna des
tined at some time in their lives to occu
py an equally peculiar territory. That
territory is the wide-spread domain of
the interior of living animal bodies to
which, alas, poor humanity forms no ex
ception. It is unpleasant to think that
we may at any time become a prey to these
dangerous and mischievous depredators.
We were lead to theso reflections by a
recent visit to Dr. Van Denberg's office,
when he had just completed the expul
sion of 670 worms from Mr. Lehman,
who stated that he had suffered for 12
years. They were all small, about one
and a half inches in length, excepting
one a nondescript about three inches
long, an attrocious rascal of forbidding
appearance. Dr. Van Denberg is the
great worm exterminator of the century.

What the Bank Dibectoes say. At a
meeting held a day or two since of var
ious bank directors of Portland, the
question arose as to what was the reason
of the increase of their deposits. A
shrewd director solved the question by
saying that heretofore the people had
been compelled to pay 25 cents for lunch,
but since the opening of the now famous
Pine Street Coffee House in Portland
they had been enabled to save 15 cents
on each lunch, and by this arrangement
they were nabled to make both ends
meet, and put the extra money to their
crcoit in uie various banks.

Portland,, July 10, 1973.
" Dr J. Kcrk, and the Ajflklpl,-. Dear Sir and
Friends This is to certify that I have been af
flicted with Catarrh in my head for twelvo years,
and about five veura ago I saw that it was killing
to my lnngs. I was almost blind and deaf, oi)d
it was only a matter of ti mo wUen 1 would die
with consumption. I had got so bad th t whoa
I would lie down at night the mucus would drop
into my throat, and I would bound to my feet
and cough, almost strangled to death. I made
inquiry what best to do. Same said Marshall's
Catarrh Snuff was good, and Sage's and Pierce's
were recommended to me, so I commenced on
Marshall's but it did me no good, and Sage's and
Pierce's also mot with the unuratifying result
After trying all these and many others, I was
yet slowly dying. I had taken medicines about
four years, and being no better, I sought the
treatment of good physicians, but their medicines
failing to have the desired effect, I gave tip all
hope of recovery. At last a friend told me of
Dr. Keck, and I consulted him. He told me he
could cure me. J told him he was mv dot-tor,
and took a bottle of his remedy home, lam now
on the sixth bottle, and am almost well. If I
get no better, money could not purchase the bene
fit I have received from this medicine. For fur
