"Only nine o'clock I What a long evening it has been ! sjirhed sweet Jit tie Maze Cranston, aa she sank into the Vdlret cushions -of the lounge in Judge's jininor's family- sitting-room. She had beenexeeediijg restless all the evening. She tried to sew, but after taking a stitch or tfco her work fell into her lap, and she turned to a vase on the stand beoide her. and examined the rare flowers that it held. - "I do wisliyou, "would come, Charlie," she continued; "your ttowera worry. me. Can I wear them and accept his wealth, his love and an enviable posi tion in society? ... Such an oportunity comes but one to a penniless orphan Now every time I attempt to fasten the flowers in my hair Fred's imagine looms up before rue? I see, 'tis to remind me that you. dear Fred, have for years oc copied the place . in my heart that Charlie-now wfstfes to fill. Why can't I do somethingvto help Fred lead a better life? Poor auntie's heart is breaking, and uncle "is no longer cheerful and happy, as he used to be. Oh, that I might be the means of restoring Fred to his friends and to a true life? But uncle and aunt will.be here soon. I must rouse myself, and not let them think they, have wearied me. I will go to the library and get a book. .Lounging in this lazy way will surely accomplish no good. Suiting her actions to her words, con science-stricken little Maze left the room As she passed through the dimly-lighted hall, she met Fred preparing to leave the house. Ltavmsr her hand gently on bis shoulder, she sold : "Why, Fred, yoa here? I thought I was alone. You are "not going out at ' this late hour?" "Yes. I am. Maze. What difference does it make whether I go or stay? No one cares for me'now.not even father and mother: they never say a word to me. Not much wonder I go from bad to worse. Nor will I keep you standing here either:" and he si ook the tiny and from oft his shoulder, ami started on. "Dear Fred, stop one minute. Please stay. in to-night; I am all alcne. Hang up vour hat, and go to the sitting room with me. Youdo not know how 1 long for vour company, or bow it grieves me to sew you going astray. Don t yon re member. Fred, what good times we used to bave? . I do, and I have missed you so much!" "Do you still like me. Maze?". "Indeed I dol as dearly as I could love my owr brother." "But, Maze," said he, drawing her closer to him, and gazing earnestly in her clear, dark eyes, "there is but one thing that can save me. A sister's love does not satisfy the cravings ol my heart. Charlie Lane's devotion to you maddens me. Do you belong to him? Are you engaged?" "Promise me, Fred, that you will not drink any more, and I will give you these flowers that Charlie sent me to night, as. a proof . of my preference for you." As she spoke, she took them from her hair. Fred eagerly held forth his hand to receive them. "Maze; dear,1' said he, "in the pres ence of God, I swear that, as long as I retain these, flowers, I will not touch a drop of liquor. If I keep them and my pledge for one. year, may I claim you in one year?" "lou uiay. Be true to yourself, and I will be true to you." At that moment the bell rang. "Go to the sitting-room, Fred, and I will join you in a moment, I wish to go to the door myself. Tis Charlie; he was to call on his way homo. If I wear his flowers, I am his; if not, all is at an end between us. Can you trust me?" In a few moments Maze joined Fred in the sitting-room, where we will leave them for a timejthat Maze may tell him of tbe battle she had fought eorly in the evening. Though Maze called the judge and Mrs. Itainor uncle and auBt, there was in reality no relationship existing be tween them. When she was scarcely six years old her parents died, and, by some mismanagement, during the last year of his life her father lost his fur tune. Judge Rainor had always been his firm friend, and when, upoa his death-bed, he asked bim to take he? and care for her as his own, for the sake of the friendship that had always existed between them, he readily consented. "God will reward you," said the dying man. " "I ask no reward, Cranston. I will do it for the love I bear you. I will be a father to her." "I cannet speak my thanks, but mark mv words. God will reward you. 'That was fifteen years ago. He had often thought of the dying man's proph- ecv. and considered it fulfilled, for Maze had always been faithful and given them a daughter s love, and frequently he was heard to sav that if Fred, his. only son, were half so dutiful or loving, his cup of joy would b& fall to overflowing. But of late Fred had been leading so wild a life that they feared he would not only hrins? disarrace upon them, but would soon oe lost to them forever. His mother crew thin and pale with grief, and there was a cloud of gloom hover ina over them that only Fred could - - o - . - ii isnal. - - . When Maze heard her uncle and aunt mminc she bade Fred go to his room for tha niaht without seeing them, but to be sure to niset them the next morn nff nt breakfast, . After kissing her he obeyed with" a' joyful heart. A few pleasant words having passed between .firs. Bainor and Maze in regard to the evening that eaoh had spent, the latter prepared to go to her room. .- "Don't hurry, my daughter, said Mrs. Itainor. "Yoa are so radiantly beautiful to-night that it cheers me to look at you. Are you happy?" 'xes, indeed, auntie, and vou and un cle will be, too, in the morning. I am going to have company to breakfast, and 1 want you to get a good night s rest, so you will be ready to receive my guest. You can never guess who it is. and I won't tell you, so good night;" and be stowing a loving kiss upon each, the beautiful girl left .them. .Bright and early the next morning Maze was flitting back and forth from dining-room to kitchen, and from kitchen to dining-room, giving her orders for breakfast, the servants all the while eye ing ber in perfect amazement, for such a thing had never before been heard of. "I am going to have some friends to breakfast," she explained, "and I want things arranged according to my own taste. I will also wait upon the table myself." ! Fred was the first to respond to the bell. As the judge anr? his wife entered he approached them. "Mother, father, he said, taking hand of each, "through the influence of that dear little womon," bowing his head to Maze, i "I am resolved to lead a better lite. Will you take me back to your hearts as of yore?' Too happy to speak, his mother laid her bead upon his breast and wept. His father walked around the table to where Maze was standing, and taking her in his arms, said: "God has, indeed, rewarded me." i Long years have passed since then, but as Maze sits in the midst of her grandchildren, telling them of their grandfather's pledge, she is more beauti ful than ever. A tear glistens in Grandpa Fred's eyes as he produces a small bunch of faded flowers; and the children, guessing at the tender memo ries they call forth, leave them alone to live again the happy hours of their youth, with the fixed purpose of doing some great good, as grandma did. J A Lore of a Room. A young working girl of this city, by the exercise of her own innate good taste, and puttihg every spare penny where it would do the most good, has furnished forth a charming room at comparatively small expense and sufficiently esthetic to please tbe most fastidiofls person. The floor, painted by her own hands, is a dark walnut shade, partly covered by a large rug! made of cheap ingrain carpe, in a small pattern of cream and olive bordered by a broad band of plain olive felt. The inetpensive wall paper is plain olive, flecked with pink, finished by a narrow olive frieze, terminating at the corners with a cluster of four tiny pink fans. One window faces a dingy brick wall, and she painted the window panes in bright water colors, following a pretty traced pattern, which gives a bit of stained glass quite effective in the pretty room. The other window is draped gracefully with long full folds of sprigged muslin, depending from rings on a plain pine roll, to be replaced in the Winter with a heavier curtain of olive cotton flannel.! The furniture is light wood, and a lamp with a rosy transparency stands on a 5 o'clock tea table of unvarnished wood, and throws a soft light over the room, which also contains books, shelves of pine, a couple of second hand easy chairs and a small dry goods box for shoes, covered j by her own hands with pink and olive cretonne. A large clothes horse, on which she pasted the story of Cinderella iu Waited Crane's pictures over olive paper, shuts off tlie wash stand and bedstead from vie r. The toilet ac cessories, set off with fresh sprigged muslin over a pink lining, are a pink and white washbowl and a large pitcher of thi quaint shape that comes now in the cheaper grades of china; a second-hand wardrobe, draped with a portier of olive canton flannel, contains the unassthetic dust-pan, brooms, and other homely ar ticles necessary to neatness and comfort, all trifles of that description bought at an . - . a i Ml tue hve-cent counters, a pretty wmow rocking chair, ornamented with olive and pink ribbon, and a knitted hassock to match, the two latter Christmas gifts, stood on the rug. On the olive-draped mantle are grand ma s Nankin teapot, two tall silver can dlesticks and a large ginger jar, hot dec orated and spoiled with gummed-on pic tures. but left in its pristine blue and white beauty, tilled with white daisies catbered on Sunday afternoon walks. Two or three photographer of good sub jects, that-are better than chromos and cost less, hang on the wall and complete the prettv refuge of this proud and in dustrious girl, who is self-respecting enough to earn her own living rather than to be dependent upon her rioh relai tions. A right of 8aa Monsters. Gen. F. E. Spinner, the man of mar velous chirography, formerly treasurer of the United States and member of con gress, and now a resident of I lorida, j writes the following to the a lorence jjis- patch, vouching for it as "no fish story, but truth, every word of it." The Gen-j eral'a letter is dated "South Beaoh.belOw j Mayport, August 13, 1882:" Early yesterday morning, as l went for my usual sun bath, accompanied by my daughter, ! Mrs. Shumacher, we wit nessed what has probably seldom been seen. The ocean was unusually placid, but - ii. a strange commotion in ine sun was noticed. On nearing the shore, it was i . ni. ; 1 - seen mat a nerce oauie was raging ue- tween two schools- of fishes, one of sharks, and the the other of saw-fiBh. It was high tide, and tne water was quite shallow, so that the caudal and the dorsal fins, of both these kinds of Bea monsters, were constantly seen above the water. The onslaught of each of the com batants, of which from sixteen ' to twenty were m view, was fierce and terrific. A disabled saw-fish was stranded. I waded 1 1 to him, and with the edge of a piece of floor board, gave him the "coup de grace." He measured nearly fifteen feet, and carried a sword -saw three feet and a half long, with over fifty teeth on its margins. It was found thai one of the sharks had bitten a piece out of. his side equal to a foot square, through which his bowels protruded. At one time it looked as if another pair of the combatants would be stranded, for in their strneelo they came so near the shore that they touched bottom ail the time, but they finally minaged to join their companions in, deep water, and after fifteen minutes all the belligerents disappeared, to the great relief of tbose who cared more for sea bathing than for seeing the terrific fights of sea moii sters. My daughter will carry the saw of the captured fish to her home as a memento and trophy of the great coufliet,, and. for an addition to her cabinet of ocean curi osities. rr - i.o make a traveler feel at home, yon must toosen Lis crrin on the countries abroad. CAPTAIN OBSTINATE. My story commences (said an old soldier of the ''Grand army," who bad left one of his arms on-the field of battle), on the fifth of No vember, 1812, a short time after the battle of Wiazma. We beat a retreat, not before tbe Russians, for they were-at a respectful dis tance from our camp, bat before the sharp and hitter coli of their detestable country a cold more terrible to us than the Bassians, Ana trians and Bavarians all put together. During the preceding days our officers had told ns that we were approaching Smolensko, where we should get food, fire, brandy and shoes, but in the meantime we were perishing in the gliciers and continually harrassed by the Cossacks. We had marched six hoars without stopping to take breath, for we knew that repose was certain death. An icyrind blew the drifting snow in oar faces, and from inie to time we stumbled over the frozen corpse of a comrade. We neither spoke nor sang; even complaints were no longer heard, and that was a bad sign. I marched by the side of my captain short, strongly built, rough and severe, bat brave and true as the blade of bis sword. We called him "Captain Obstinate," for when once he said a thing it was fixed he never changed his opinion. He had been wounded at Wiazma, and his usually crimson face was then ghastly pale, while a ragged. white handkerchief, all stained with blood, was bound round bis head, and adaeu to the pallor of his countenance. All at once I saw bim stagger on his legs like a drunken man, then fall like a block to the ground. " Good heavens ! captain," said I, bending over mm, "you cannot remain nere. " You see that I can, since I do it," replied he, showing his legs. "Captain." said I, "you mast not give way. and, lifting him in my arms, I tried to put him on bis feet. He leaned on me and attempted to walk, but in vain; ne leu again, dragging me with him. John," said he, "all is over. Leave me here, and rejoin your company as qnickly as possible. One word before yon go ! At Vorep- pe, near urenooie, lives a gooa woman, eignty- two years of age my mother. Go and see her, embrace her for me, and tell her what you will, but give her this purse and my cross. Is tbat all, captain ( That is all, God bles3 you! Make haste. Adieu !" My friends, I do not know how it was, but I felt two tears roll down my cheeks. "No, captain," I cried, "I will not leave yon: either you come with me, or I will remain with vou." I forbid you to remain." You may pat me under arrest, then, if yon like, but at present yon mast let me do as I please." "ion are an insolent fellow. ' "Very good, captain, bat you mast come with me." He bit his lips with rage, but said no more. I lifted him and carried him upon my shoul ders like a sack. Yoa can imagine that with such a burden I could not keep pace witi my comrades. In fact, I soon lost sight of their columns, and could discern nothing around me but the white and silent plain. I still walked on, when presently appeared a troop of Cos sacks galloping toward me, with carious ges ticulations and wild cnes. The captain was by this time completely in sensible; and I resolved, whatever it might cost me, not to abandon him. I laid down on the ground, and covered him with snow; then I crept beneath a heap of dead bodies, leaving, however, my eyes at liberty. Presently the Cossacks came up, and began to strike with their lances right and left, while the horses trampled as under their ieet. One of these heavy beasts set his foot upon my arm, and crushed it. My friends, I did not speak, I did not stir; I pnt my right hand into my mouth to stifle the cry of torture which nearly escaped from me, and in a few minutes the Cossacks hail dispersed. When the last of them had disappeared I quitted my refuge, and proceeded to disinter the captain. To my joy he gave some signs of lift ; I contrived to carry him with my one arm toward a rock which offered a sort of shelter, and then I laid myself by bis side, wrapping my cloak about as both. The night had closed in, and the snow con tinned to fall. The rear guard had long since disappeared, and the only sound that broke the stillness of the night was the whistle of a bul let, or the bowling of the wolves feasting on the corpses that lay stretched around. Heaven knows what thoughts passed through my soul daring that dreadful night, which, Ifeltsnre, would be my last upon earth. But I remem bered the prayer which my mothor had taught me loug before, when I was a child at her knees, and, bending low, I repeated it with fervor. That did me good, and I felt astonishingly calmed when I returned to my place by the captain. But the time passed, and 1 had fallen into a state of half-stupor, when I saw a group of French officers approach. Before I had time to speak to them, their chief, a little man, dressed in a furred pelisse, stepped toward me, and said: "What are you doing here? Why are yoa away from your regiment?'' "For two good reasons," said I. pointing first to the captain and then to my bleeding arm. "The man says true, sir." observed one of those who followed him; "I saw him mircbing in the rear of his regiment, and carrying this officer on his back." The emperor for, my friends, it was he! gaye me one of those glances that only he or the eagle of tbe Alps could give, and said: "It is well. Yon have done very well." Then opening his pelisse, he took the cross which decorated his green coat, and gave it to me. At that instant I was no longer hungry, no longer cold; I felt no more pain from my arm than if that awkward beast had never touched it. "Davowit," added the emperor, addressing the officer who had spoken to him, "see the man and his captain placed in one of the baggage wagons. Adieu! And making me a motion of the hand, he went away. Here the veteran ceased and resumed his "But tell us what became of captain elimi nate," cried many impatient voices. "The captain recovered, and is now a general on the retired list. But the best of the joke wasUhat as soon as he got well, he put me un der arrest for fifteen days, as a punishment for my infraction of discipline. This circumstance came to the ears of Napoleon; and after laugh ing heartily, he not only caused me to be -set free, bat promoted me to the rank of a sergeant. As to tbe decoration, my children, here is the ribbon at my button-hole, but the cross I wear next to my heart." And opening his vest, he showed the precious relic, suspended from his neck in a little satin bag. The Kerdire, "Well, what yon hear about the Key- dive?" eaid a Last Cbaace man yesterday in front of tbe postoflice. "He s having quite a picnic as near aa I can get at it. (Jul uum Arabic and the Kerdive have had a 80t-to, it seems, at Alexander," said a man from the Ore gon Short Line. "Well, now that Arabi Bey haa aonred on the Khedive, I 'spose we may look for perdition to be poppra pnrty plenty, said the fat man from Council Bluffs. "Speaking about the Kerdeeva," said a youbg man with ugnt pants and a wealth of peeled nose, "what iahis posi tion relative to the Egyptian Govern ment?" . "Why, the Keddiv is the High Tycoon; the Big Injnn; tbe High Mueby-Mnok of the rancbe. Hes the Governor and Arabi Bey has throwed off on him," said the train-dispatcher of the North Park branch. "Well, what did he want to throw off on the Kerdeeve fur?" interrogated the cow gentleman, just in from the trail. Just then, however, the man was called away so that he never got at the true inwardness of tbe Egyptian trouble, and is a little mixed also in the pronunciation of the Khedive's name. Boomerang.

A word to tlie public Consultation free. f invite the sick, no matter what their diseases may be, to call and investicaie for themselves lefore aban doning all hopes, for it will cost you nothing. I givt; no encouragement unless there is a fair prospect of making a cure. 1 will endeavor to be candid hi my opinion and rensonaole in my charges. 1 claim not tc cure everybody, but to cure all that can be cured. I have had twenty years' successful practice In the treatment of both acute and cbrouic diseases. 1 have located in Portland, and all I ask It that yon give me a fair, unbiased trial, by which 1 hope to merit yourcou Uiience, and give entire satisfaction to all xurtVrlng. humanity, aiy reputation lias been acquired by being candid with my patients, through ears of successf ul piat t .r, ..ji.ii. ui ii. u i ,rr twin ill mm vyutiii, miu studiously keepine up with the aze.

In my treatment of many diseases f make tine of a new method of cure, The treatment is simple and the most feasible of ail. There is no uupleaxant sensation whatever attending the treatment. I Invite all persons afflicted to visit and freely convince themselves, leav inn me to verify the assertion that there has never existed a remedy so startling and immediate In Us effects, lhese noted curative a'ds, as liandled In my practice, are endor-ed and approved by the faculties of botli Kurope and America. The beneficial .j'flerta are perceptible almost from the start. Coses regarded Incurable, and of years standing, yield to its mild but wonderful inlluence. Andinuo case can the treat, mcnt be attended with the ieiwt danger, thereby tes tifying it to be the most harmless agent In thesapeu tlcs. Those who wish to apply f:r advice oi treatment mav confidently do so without hesitation or diffidence, as the moM timid may relv on that Inviolable secrecy whb h has already proved- the tasls of an extensive professional reputation ubroad. Cases can be treated by con espondence when a i.er soual interview s impossible, providing the patients will minutely detail all of their bodily intirmaties and mental disturbances written in a simple and natural s'yle.and in accordance with the necessary de-ails of their own feelings -Oi.e personal interview, however, even with patients residing at a distance Is highly de sirable when practicable, and will more than repay the patient the expense and trouble of a trip lo Port land. The advantage of even a visit are apparent ahd manifold. A single vixlt hi most cases will enable the ioctor to form an accurate opinion and note particular which might be lost sight el in mere correspondence, parii :ularly when a microscopic and chemical analy sis is absolutely necessary.
