A beautiful night in summer, and a faint, dying voice rising above the murmur of the sea. "I will tell you the story, Basil, the story of one who drove my good angel from me, and sent me to my death, "She was so beautiiul and seemed 80 good," the dying voice went on. "I shall never forget the first time I saw her. Her voice alone, might dre one to his ruin. I could not vegist her--I did not try. In ove short week after I met her, we were married. And then we lived two shogt weeks in elysium, in hap- piness [ shall never forget. Bat it did not last long, Such peace would be a mockery to earth. You well know, Basil, that almost all my earthly riches fled. I was no longer a wealthy man I had nothing left me but my old home. Butl worked hard tor her, my darling. I would have died for her then! "Ono dark, gloomy night, aftera hard day's labor, I hurried bome- ward to meet her feeling sure that L should find comfort there. " Her face was always before me her voice ever in my ear. It was only in her presence that I seemed to live. I hurried into the house and then to her room, thinking it strange she did not come as usual to mect me. Oh, God ! I found her clasped to another man's heart. His lips touched hor pure face: he breathed words that no true wife should hear. I wonder I did not die on the spot, Basil. God knows I would have welcomed death, "From that time I watched my fale young wife. I watched her with vigilant eyes, only to revenge my great wronged love. At last such a restraint upon her life became unbearable. the torture, to act again as [ had done in our brief but happy honey- She begged me to cea. o | "You swear," he said, hoarsely ; and the wavering breath had almost tailed. "I swear?" said Basil Arland, solemnly, and then he bent lower over his dying brother. "You have not told mu her name." It was in vain that the other struggled to speak. He had kept ap so long from mere force of will. but he never lost his presenca of mind. He took a photograph from his breast pocket where his hand had lain till it bad grown. cold with his beart. He gave the likeness to his brother, and then with a sigh, of content, fell an inanimate weight in his arms. Looking at the peaceful face, Basil could not wish him back, but his tears fell fast. He had loved him well, his only brother, He mude his vow anew over the dead form, -- He would keep his oath. Then he looked at the portrait, his only clew to her who had done so terrible a wrong. And yetas bo looked, a great cry burst from his lips and his face, if possible, grow whiter than the dead, ' "It cannot be I" he cried. * Ol "tis Rosalie, my promised wife; she who 1 would give my life for, whom 1 love above all the world I" There was a passionato agony in his face and voice. The sea rolled upin mighty billows. At his feet lay the silent dead. and in his hand the portrait of a beautiful woman, -- Perhaps the stars never looked down on a sadder sight than this heart in its struggle between love and re- venge. "J am innocent, Basil. not believe me ?" It was a gentle pleading voice, and a fair woman stood before Basil Arland. He had told her his bro- ther's story. He had brought out the terrible tale in its most vivid Can you moon. I would not listen to her. -- I heaped a world of reproaches up- on her head, and at last sho left me with these terrible words: "If I goto my ruin'tis you alone that sent mo there." : "Then sho came to me, and a malignant look marked her false, beautiful face. "Yon have treated me with con-| tempt, Robert Arland, but us sure a8 there is a just God above us, I will be revenGed!" "lcould not sleep that night, Basil, a horrible foreboding of evil took possession of me. The wild winds without seemed but an echo of my maddening thoughts For! hours I tossed restlessly upon my bed, and then unable to bear itlonger arose, and slipping on my dressing gown, went out into the long hall that led to my library. At the op- posite end [saw a faint light, and as I came nearer, I found that it was held in the hands of my wife. Good ! sho was setting the house on fire! [stood paralized with horror and amaze, and in a moment the ball wasina blazo of flames. I went up to her and looked into her white face. "Great heavens | was she mad ? "Her fuce blanched to a deathly hue when she saw me, and 1 felt her white fingers around my closer long, throat. "You shall not escape!" she hissed, and then 1 knew she meant to murder me. With superhuman strongth I dragged hor out of the burning building. Even then I thought more of her safety than my own. I must have fainted and when I awoke she had vanished-- probably with him --and the rest of my wordly possessions lay a heap of ashes on the ground do you won- dor I did not care to live? that I shrink from bearing the conse- quences of her shame, the scorn and pity of my fellow men ? "I came down to the sea. 1 wished thesound of its grandeur to lull me to an everlasting slvep.-- There were many methods of putting an end to my life but I took the one that would spare me to tell you this, to leave you the legacy of my re- vege. I want you to hunt her down, my beautiful fiend wife, und when you huve found her, 1 charge you, upon your solemn oath to re- venge my wrongs. I am almost gone Basil. Do you promise ?" The one besidebim knelt down and raised the dying man tenderly 15 his arms. "It you wish it, my brother, I will promise to avenge you. But think Robert! You are a dying man. Can you not leave vengence 10 God ?"' The words were tender and earn- est bul the vengeful look never left the dying face. He bad ber wronged too deeply colors, and protrayed the guilty | character of the life. But when he |asked her it sho was guilty, when | he had bade her look at him and tell | him the trath, she had raised her fair | face truthfully to his, and answered [him thus: | "Iam innocent you can not be- [lieve me?" He could not answer her. The {proof was overwhelming, but he loved her, and she looked so pure and true. He laid the photograph in his hand. " How came my brother by this?" "Ido not know," she said. It is one, Basil, that I gave to a friend tong ago," 'Then she went to him, and put her white arms bescechingly around him. "I would not think ill of you," she said, reproachfully. Oh, Basil-- Basil! I implore you to believe mel" She broke out into an uncontroll- able fit of grief, and he hid his face from her with a low groan ofagony and dispair, "[ would to God that I could!" For a moment they stood thus together, and then he tore himself away. "I have loved you well, Rosalie, and God help me | I love you still. But I cannot forget my brother and my oath, Farewell!" He stood looking into her sad eyes a moment, and then left her alone. With a low ery of anguish she fell, fainting to the floor. It was only one more sad record in the page of life, A dark, terrible night; the rain beating down on an old, shattered ruin of a house, in which a sad scene is being enacted. A life merging into death, and a trembling soul launching forth into an unknown world, of gloomy, surging tide; the roiling thunder and lurid lightening deepening the terrible grandure of the scene. In asmall room of the wretched ruin the thin, wasted figure of a once beautiful woman, on a mis. erable narrow bed. By her side two pairs of tender ministering hands, und two white, agitated faces. It is Basil Arland and Rosalie, and she has sent for them. They loan eager- ly forward as she speaks, and in her Rosalie, recognizes an old school friend. «Iam dying," she said, "and I have sent for you in order that I may right, as much as possible, a terrible wrong. I am the wife of Robert Arland." Basil started forward with a low exclamation, but Rosalie, motioned him tokeep silent, and naught broké tho stillness but the terrible storm. «I would bave told you before," continued the dying woman, but I fearod your revenge. I heard my husband's dying request and your solomn oath. I dared not tell you to forgive. then, but when you recognize the a a portrait, I prayed that your love might trinmph overall. For Rosalie was my friend. Long ago, in our happy school days, she guve me the photograph and bude me remember her. I was good and pure then. Ob, God | sball I ever forget? But itis growing dark and I must hasten on with my story, " That terrible night when I burn- ed, my husband's home, was the completion of my great wrong. I hated Robert Arland and [ meant to murder him. When he fainted I took my portrait from his bosom, that the detective might bave no cluo of me, as to my whereabouts. I do not know what made me put this in its place. I heard footsteps approaching, ahd frightened and confused, and thinking only of my own safety, [ dropped it in his poc- ket and fled. Fled with one, who after making my life miserable, de- serted mo, left me to fight my own way through the pitiless world. Do you wonder that I tailed--that I am dying? Come closer and lot me clasp your hands in mine. My breath is failing--1I cannot pierce the terrible darkness around me. Ob, Robert-- Robert, have mercy!" and her breath died away in a low, wailing gasp, and the storm without was hushed as a soul fled to its God. Basil Arland turned to Rosalie, " Thank God that you are in- nocent, my darling!" ho said, slowly and then he looked reverently at the dead form. " Vengeance is mine, and I will repay, saith the Lord." The Lawyer's Boy. Anybody who thinks that the boy employed around the Lawyer's office has nothing to do but empty the papper basket, run to the post office sweep the room and road the jokes of Blackstone, is grandly mistaken. A boy.-- that is, a prize of a boy and one that will eventually become a great lawyer--has a heap on his mind, and no time for sling-shots or Yesterday while a Detroit lawyer was in court, with his boy in chargo of the offico a newspaper man who was hunting through the Moffat block stumbled upon the young at torney and was received with: -- "Come right in. The papers in your case are ready to be signed." " What case?" Application for divorce:" * But I'm not the man." "Ain't you 7 Well, you look like him. Let's sec ?

I was to tell Ryan that his caso against Poters for slander would not come on this term, ani to sug gest that he amend his declaration, You huve not given the dates where- on the defendant culled you a '"rep- tile" and a "sneak." "But I'm not Ryan." "Is that so? That's too bad, but perbaps you can't help it.

We will, however do our best to pull you through, as we do all our clients," "You are off again ; I am not the man." "Dear me,that's another. Well all right, T was to say to any new client that Mr. would be back in an hour. Come in and sit down and look over the city directory.

John Manning, the sheriff of Dead- wood, D. T., was in St. Louis on business, and he remembered that the yeur bgfor a St. Louis man bad been up to Deadwood and left, owing a man several hundred, which was to bo paid as soon as he got home. Manving met the man in St. Louis, and he said he would hand bim the money next day ; but the days pass ed but the money did not come though the man was amply able to pay. So one morning Manning in- werted a porsonal to the offect that if the man who left Deadwood be- tween two days, didnot pay the money he forgot to pag, night before the whole circumstance would be published the next day. The notico wag signed "John Manning, Sheriff of Deadwood." Before mine oclock a young man called at Manning's hotel and gaid he had seen tho notice, and had come to pay $220 he had borrowed to get out of Deadwood, Manning found oat who the money was borrowed of,and took it to carry it to the Deadwood citizen, remarking that he was not the man the Shariff referred to, but it was a mighty mean Sheriff that would not carry money to a friend. The next man to call was the one ho wanted, and begged the Sheriff to say nothing about it. Daring the day, several citiz:ns of St. Louis called on Mann- ing and paid bim money for citizer.s of Deadwood, believing the Sheriff had reference to them in his notice; and after he had gone away, another citizen called and asked the clerk for Manpning, but the clerk said the other felllows had all been there and paid up, and this man had better keep his money. The Sheriff said he always thought advertising paid, but he had never had it demonstrat. ed so entirely to his sutisfaction be- fore. SS The Silver Lining. The night is cold, keen blows the wind, The moon is brightly shining ; As o'er my soul, in volumes roll, The heart's deep felt repining. Alone I sat with ticking time Throughout the stillness 'a Its measured tones, as o'er it floats, In midnight deep suirounding. i Alone, indeed, no cheery thoughts Around my heart caressing ; Filling my heart with pleasant light, My soul with joyous blessing, In sorrow's wail, the heart doth tell The source of all its sadoess; And doth not fail to lift the veil, When running o'er with gladness. [ am not sad, I am not glad, Nor fill'd am I with sorrow ; But o'er burdened with the thought Of what to do to-morrow, "Tis ever then, with hearts of clay, Blieving life's all trouble; Unmindful of the silver ray That is behind each bubble, The storm clouds gather thick and fast Amidst the sun's declining, Aud fiercely peals the thunders blast, Yet there's the Silver Lining, - A Remarkable Printer.
