Joe Barrett and his wife had long ago keen given by their relatives and friends, and the genial circle of society they adorned, as an old-fashioned couple that prolonged their honeymoon to most unprecedented and unheard-of period. Tliey had lately celebrated their silver wedding, and for the amuse­ ment of ethers and tli& romanee for themselves would have gone through . with the original ceremony again had it not been for a serious obstacle. The clergyman was still alive and vigorous: for his years, and Phil Somers, Joe'd best man at his wedding, was yet his best friend, but the pale, pretty little bridesmaid had vanished long ago off the face of the earth, and become one of that i-hadowy band to which "we call, and they answer not again." There was a rumor that if she had lived she would have become the wife of Phil Somers, thus making the hap pinepfl of the four complete. It was cur­ rently believed that because of this tender and romantic episode of his life, Ph'l Somers had remained a bachelor. In his younger days this apparent halo of soft rrgret and cnappeasing longing lent a melancholy grace to his already pleasing exterior, and many a damsel endeavored to console him. But al­ though he was gentle and even chivalric to all womankind, he remained, to all matrimonial intents and purposes, un- consoled. And here he was, a bachelor still, 50 years old, getting rather grizzled about, the temples and crow-footed about the eyes, bronzed by his partiality for the open air, thin but muscular, t til but straight; while Joe Barrett and his wife might pass for "fat, fair and forty," though they were not so many years Phil's juniors. And here they were, plotting as lively as ever for Phil's connubial bliss. The present victim of their, toils, although no longer in her first youth, would have seemed so in any other light but the critical one of sun apainst sand; and now that thick bands of gray clouds lay heavily across the sky, tempering the brilliuncy of the sun's rays, and the young lady had pulled her veil about the out lines of her face, Miss Mortimer aeemed at the heyday of her charms. "While waiting for dinner, which was In process of preparation in a long, low hostelry a dozen furlongs or so inland, they had strolled down to the water's edge, and, true to the plan in hand, Joe Barrett had pulled his wife's chubby hand through his arm and trotted her away from Phil and the young lady. "Let's leave them alone together for awhile," said Joe. "It seems a propi­ tious time for love-making, and I hope something will come of to-day's trip, Polly ;I'm getting awfully tired of work­ ing like a pack-horse for' Phil's hap­ piness." While strolling along they indulged in a spirited conversation about Phil and the matrimonial projects in which they had been engaged on his account. At last Joe remarked, looking fondly at his wife: "I'd be the happiest fei- low in the world if Phil conld be hap py too." His wife shook his arm impatiently "See here Joe," she said, "I thins you ave absurd about Phil Somers, and you may as well understand, onco for all, that if this thing falls through I'm not going to bother about his marrying at all. It's none of your business or mine. I don't believe he wants to marry, any­ way. Some natures are so constituted that they can only love once, and I be­ lieve all the love Phil had to give anv one was squandered long ago on our dear little bridesmaid. After all, there's something very sweet and touching in his remaining faithful to the one mem­ ory all these years." Joe shifted uneasily from one foot to the other. He picked _ up a stone and sent it savagely whirring over the water. •"Polly," he said, "I think ni take a plnnge in the sea. It will tone me up, and give me an appetite for dinner. There's a bathing suit in one of the lit­ tle cribs behind us." "Look at that big black cloud, Joe." "I won't stay in long, Polly." He gave his wife a tender squeeze, looked down upon her with an expression that seemed to say he'd kiss her if it wouldn't shock Miss Mortimer's sense of propriety, ran up to the bathing- 'house, and, to the surprise of Phil and Miss Mortimer, presently disappeared in a huge green wave that covered them with its spray. "Joe is a regular water-dog," said PhiL Miss Mortimer made no reply. She had not come down to the seashore that day to listen to laudations of Joe Bar­ rett and his wife. Miss Mortimer felt that she had no time to lose, and was resolved to waste no time upon Joe Barrett's maritime proclivities. Phil, however, kept his eyes upon Joras feeAwafikOttt totbeopensttitaad i'.' on taking About him without re­ quiring any special reply. "Joe is a little impulsive and reck­ less, perhaps," said Phil, "but he's a capital swimmer." "It is growing cold," said Miss Mor­ timer, contracting her shoulders in that graceful way that some women have of making even a shiver attractive. Phil remembered with remorse that her wrap was hanging forgotten upon his arm. He hastened to put it about her shoulders, but the wind, which was rising to a gale, made the effort a pro­ longed one. "Don't you hate the wind?" said Miss Mort'mer, coquettishly. "I am never ungrateful," said Plul, capturing the ends of the shawl again, and holding them fast this time about her slender form. A keen look of in­ cipient triumph flashed from Misa Mor­ timer's eyes. Phil's words always Beemed to mean so much more than they said. And she could not, unfor­ tunately, see that his eyes were slill looking fixedly over her head upon the water beyond the surf. A shaft or two of wild light flashed down upon the soene. An omnious rum­ ble from the clouds mingled with the roar of the sea. Suddenly the earth and sky were enveloped in a blinding glare. In this spectral light Phil distinctly saw Joe Barrett fling his arms wildly aloft and disappear in the darkness. Phil threw off his shoes and his coat as he ran to the sen, and Miss Morti­ mer had great difficulty in rescuing his vest, which was nearly carried out by a returning wave. Her costume was drenched with a spray and she nearly lost her footing, but she saved the waistcoat, which contained Phil's watch and other valuables. Then she hurried to the shelter of the bathing-house, for the rain now began to fail heavily. Through the blackness of the storm she saw the white face of a woman. Miss Mortimer knew it was Mrs. Barrett running wildly down to the water, but she attempted no remonstrance. She had made up her mind that of the party of four that went down to the sea that day two would probably never return, perhaps three. If was impossible to say what might happen where such im­ pulsive people were concerned. Some men from the inn were now hurrying to the scene of peril, and, finding it impossible to induce Mrs. Barrett to seek shelter, had thrown about her a rough tarpaulin, from the har-h folds of which her haggard face and wind-blown hair was a sorry sight to see. The two bodies were now coming in atop of the foaming surf, with no help or hindrance of their own, and, closely locked together, were swept swiftly ashore with other prey of the elements. They were narrowly rescued from the greedy maw of the returning wave, and carried with all speed to the little inn, where everything was in readiness to restore consciousness to the 'one and foster it in the other. The storm passed away as sudden as it came. The pale glow of twilight deepened into night. There was no moon, but the stars shown over the bay and harbor, and the dusky little pro­ montory. To look at the gentle ripple of waves lapping lazily along the soft white sand Phil could hardly believe that so little time ago two men had been done almost to their death. He could scarcely stagger out into the woo en porch of the inn to breathe the cold, sea-scented-air. And as for Joe, God only knew what would befall him. He had been brought back to life, but not to consciousness. Polly had man­ aged to get word to the town physician, but the way was long and the sand was heavy. It must have been about midnight, Phil could not tell the exact time. His watch was in his waistcoat, under Mias Mortimer's head, in the bed of the land­ lady. Phil had told them not to awaken Miss Mortimer, under no circum­ stance; he was so glad that she was asleep--and it would be impossible to say how glad he was. The latch of the door clicked behind him. Phil's heart sank. He was afraid Miss Morti­ mer had, after all, been awakened. But a faltering, uncertain step reached him, and the cold little hand of Polly Bar­ rett clutched his arm. Any one but Phil would never have known her. The last remnant of her soft round comeliness seemed swept away with the storm. All her womanly crimps and fripperies were gone. She wore an ill-fitting gown of the land­ lady's. Her whole face was of a wan grav pallor, like the waves under the cold light of the stars. "Is Joe better?" stammered Phil. "Does he know " "He knows everything and perhaps he's better. Oh, Phil! Phil." Polly repressed her sobs and motioned Phil to the door. "He is determined that I shall try and get some sleep and you shall watch with him for a while. * As if I could go to sleep! But go to him, Phil; don't thwart him--go!" Phil went in to Joe. He will never forget the low-ceiled room, the two wooden chairs, the pine table whereon a mop of ragged wick flared from a saucer of oil. the bottle of liquor with­ in reach, and the coarse green glass, the grim old clock in the corner, tick­ ing off the seconds, and Joe's ghastly face and motionless form upon the camp cot in the corner. Joe tried to stretch out his hand to Phil, but it fell back lieavily upon the patchwork quilt of the landlady. "You did your best, Phil," he said; "you brought me ashore, but the trouble was done out there; something seized me, God knows what--paralyses, cramps, palsy--who can tell ? Anyway I'm done for old man. I can't move a muscle below. It's a more question of time, Phil, and we can't afford to lose any." "I hope you're wrong, Joe; we'll know better* when the doctor comes. You were right not to tell Polly. But she must come to you, Joe." Phil would have gone at once for Polly, but something in Joe's face held him back. "Hold on a bit, Phil. I didn't send for you and drive Polly away to tell you something that you'll both know soon enough. There's a burden on my conscience, Phil; it's been lying there like a plummet of lead all these years. Listen to me, and don't interrupt me if you can help it Give me some of that stuff from the bottle, fend when I grow weaker give me more." Phil lifted Joe's head and put the glass to his lips; then he sat down upon the edge of the cot, leaving his arm be­ tween Joe's neck and the pidow. Joe could feel Phil's pulse now, and the loyal heart of his friend beating close to his own. "It's twenty-five years, Phil," said Joe, "since that night we drove down to the shore here and had that talk to­ gether. You remember it Phil?" "Yes, Joe." "Ah! you've remembered it too well, Phil; I've tried hard enough, God knows, to make you forget The sun was sinking over joader j>a &e west,, and sky and sea were all aflame. Some fleecy clouds dropped low over the old shed where we had ordered some clams. I remember when I saw Polly that night The dress she wore was like a stab to me; it was of some soft, floating material that reminded me of the wool­ ly clouds over the old shed. You didn't eat the clams, Phil, you dallied with the shells and turned them over with the queer, old fork they had given you. And all at once you put them aside and lighted a cigar, and turne 1 your face to the sea, and began to ta>k of a woman you secretly loved. Now give me some wine, Phil." Phil put the glass again to Joe's lips. "Don't talk any more, Joe," he said. Let me go for Polly." "Not yet," said Joe. "You were a handsome fellow, Phil, twenty-five years ago. As you went on to talk of the woman you secretly loved, some sort of a light shone upon your face from the splendor in the west that made it like that of an arohangeL It seemed to me that no woman could withstand you. My heart grew like a lump of ice. My first thought was to walk out into the water and strangle myself; my next was worthy of Judas Iscariot It was a resolve to betray you. I must have been tempted by the devil, for, as God is my judge in this awful moment of my life, I never dreamed before that night that you and 1 were in love with the same woman. I got upon my feet and shouted, 'She is mine!' glaring upon you with a dogged, resolute stare. 'Have you, then, asked her to marry you?' you 6aid, and your face still looked like an archangel's, while mine must have been inflamed with the pasnions that beset a man beyond his strength. As I repeated, 'She is my promised wife,' the words seemed to leap from a throat of fire. It was the first downright, hideous, ma­ licious lie I ever uttered, for I had not asked her--I had not yet asked her. But when I did ask her, upon that very night, the next lie slipped easily from my perjured throat, though it' was a worse one by far. For I told Polly, Phil--I told her before I asked her to marry me--that you had confessed to me your love for her friend, the poor liltle girl that afterward became our bridesmaid. Whether it was my guilty conscience, that makes hell enough for any man, I fancied I saw something in Polly's eyes that told me, had it not been for my treachery, your chances would have been better than mine. Now take your arm away from my neck, Phil, and curse me if you will --my story is done." The pulse of Joe's ear leaped and tugged as if it would burst an artery, but Phil's voice had the old tender ring. " l'ou might have spared yourself all. this," he said. "I think Polly has proved who it was that she loved." "Ah, after that night, Phil, yes. Polly is not the kind of woman to make the misery of men. But I cheated you, of your chance--I cheated you of your chance." "Be it so, Joe. I forgive you, and love you all the same. Now, throw off the burden and live for Polly's sake an4 mine." "Too late, too late," faltered the fail­ ing lips. They refused to touch the glass. The limp body fell baek almost lifeless in Phil's arms. Then Joe aroused himself once more and called for Polly in a harsh, Btrained voice, that reached her despite the roar of the sea. She flew to his side, but was only in time to catch a few indistinct, dis­ jointed sentences. With a last effort the dying man lifted the hands of his wife and his friend, and joined them together, clasped his own about them, &nd so the three remained till the BOUI of Joe Barrett fled. ** • • t • ** "And if there could be such a thing as witchcraft," said Miss Mortimer to some friends the other day, "Joe Bar­ rett's widow would have been burned at the stake long ago. She was pret­ ty well on in years when Joe died, and I'll leave it to anybody if she don't look like a blonde mummy now. Phil Somers has that air of distinction and elegance about him that he might'mar- ry almost anybody; Joe Barrett's wid­ ow is old and ugly, and sick and poor, but I shouldn't be at all surprised if Phil Somers would marry her yet"-- Harper's Weekly. The Peril of Great Cities. What is to be done with the sewage ? is the question of questions with those who control the destinies of great cen­ ters of population. Some thirty years ago the river Thames became extreme­ ly offensive, because it received all the filth of London; a pestilence was threatened, and the city authorities fin­ ally decided to build sewerage works to convey the waste not only away from the city, but from the river Thames These great works were completed twenty-live years ago, and for a time served their purpose well. But in the last quarter of a century London has grown enormously, and the Thames has become as foul as ever. The authorities are forced to take new steps, and another system of costly works must be undertaken to carry the sew age to a still greater distance. The sewage problem is one of the utmost moment to all large cities. The filth to be removed is what is required to make poor land productive. It is a shocking waste to turn these fertiliz ing ingredients into rivers and bays to foul the waters and kill the fish.--De moresVa Monthly. A Quick Poison.

The doctor said it was a severe cold, and prescribed for it He went away and returned again in an hour without being called. Then I knew my baby boy was more ill than I had thought, and when he went away I followed* him out of the house and into the snow-bur­ dened air, and said to him: "Doctor, tell me the truth. Will my babv die?? "It is very ill," he replied, "hot there is yet a little hope." Then 1 returned and looked again on that sweet face of my little boy. Where dimples had been, were hard, white lines of pain. Where the nos­ trils had been such a soft and velvety pink, you could see the light shine through their walls, and every hair-like vein was blue almost to blackness. The little hands which I was wont to feel patting my cheeks had lost their tender cunning, and were lying uselessly on its heaving bosom, purple and clenched. I knew my baby was not for long. I knew that even the angels, who loved it a little better than I, were waiting to take it away. I saw the death-dew stand in diamond beads upon its ala­ baster brow and felt the dampening curls, that clustered like falling sun­ shine where I had been wont to kiss it. I heard the faint gurgling in my baby's throat, and saw no recognition in its eyes, once so soft and blue, and laugh­ ing, but now glassy with the film of death. They were looking through the roof of my humble cottage, into the realms where the Recording Angel Bat, with the book of life open before him, at a page as white as snow, save where the name was written at the top--the name of my darlii^g boy. The snowtlakes ceased to fall, and the glad sunlight from the west came iu through the window and fell upon my baby's bed, flooding it with a radi­ an oe and glory like that which trem­ bles on the golden tiles of heaven, and then the sun sank out of view, and in the gray twilight my baby lay, strug­ gling body and soul, the one with the other for the mastery. As the shadows deepened 1 saw the bony hand of death reach out from among the pillows, and clutch my baby by the throat 1 tried to fight the monster back, but he would not loose his hold. The lamps were lighted, and I saw my baby smile, as if it saw a face more welcome, kind, and sweet than the face of her that bore it, bending over its cradle--the face of Him who said: "Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God"--and while it yet smiled, tho soul went out from the tabernacle of clay, and left the temple tenantless and oold, but beautiful as life itself. My baby was dead, and I was clasping to my heart only the clay image of its soul, now winging its fliglit through the boundless depths of blue that lie between the grave and the throne of God. Is it a wonder that men worship idols of clay when clay is so grandly beautiful as this ? I slept and dreamed, and as I dreamed, I saw the pearly gates Bwihg open, and I knew my baby reached home. I caught a glimpse of heaven, and saw it fly straight to the arms of Him who died upon the cross, and ere the gates were closed the angel with the book drew his wand across the page and held it up to the others, and I saw that naught but the name of my boy was there, written in characters of shining gold; while all the rest was pure and white, and as the gates swung shut, the harps of millions sang a glad refrain.--Exchange. lie Traded in Stock. An Austin Judge put the usual ques tion to a man who hod just been oon- victed of horse-stealing, a large herd of stolen stock being found in his pos­ session. "Do you know of any reason why sentence should not be pronounced upon you?" MI am innocent. I came by the stock honestly, in the ordinary course of business." "Why, you offered to sell a valuable mare for $7." "I know it, your Honor, but I was bothered by jockeys and speculators, who wanted to trot her for money, so I sold her for $7 to a man who I knew would treat her well. I could have gotten ten times as much for her if I had cared for money." "How about all the other stock found in your possession ?" "I traded for it. Judge. I have a mania for trading in stock." "What was your name before you came to Texas ?" "I don't like to tell, Judge, for it might prejudice you against me; but I am related to one of the most respect­ able families in New York." "I suspected as much," replied the Judge. I was only going to give you five years, but now I will make it ten." --Texas Sittings. The Volume Had Come. A New-Yorker who was up in the hill country shooting rabbits had occasion to call at a country store for some shot. "Yes, I've got powder," replied the little old man behind the counter. "How much did you want ?" . "I'll take a pound." ^ "What, a hull pound?" "Yes, sir." The merchant came from behind his counter, slowly adjusting his steel- bowed spectacles, and for a long min­ ute looked the New-Yorker over as one might read a circus bill. Finally he said: "A hull pound, and you are going to pay cash down ?" "Yes, sir." "Well--um--well! Mister, for the last fifteen years I've been contending that the volume of floating currency was not large enough to do the busi­ ness of the country, and I never ex­ pected to see this day.

How a Hog Rooted Up a City. I have just returned from the shores off Lake Superior, where I spent some time visiting the copper regions, said to be the greatest in the world. Through­ out the rocky, barren Keweenaw pen­ insula, good for nothing as farming lands, the immense copper deposits have caused large towns to spring up, and they now give employment to tens of thousands of men. About eighteen years ago a pig strayed from the drove to which it belonged and fell into a pit on a spot where tho city of Calumet now stands. It rooted about until it uncovered a mass of native copper, and showed to the world the location of the greotest copper mine ever known. As a result of that pig's rooting humanity is $.15,000,000 richer in the use of the copper there discovered, and the stock­ holders who, aided by the pig, have helped the world to this wealth, have received about $25,000,000 for their trcuble. A town ' of 6,000 inhabitants has gathered around the pig's hole, and nearly 2,000 men are employed in operating the mines beneath.--Cleve­ land Leader. * * * Ptix turners cured in ton days, rupture In four weeks.

It contains facts of great value to many: INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct. 12, 1884. DR. DAVID KENNEDY : DEAR SIB--For ten years I have been a suf­ ferer from disease of the kidneys, at times so much so as to make life a burden. During this time several of the best physicians In Indiana have treated me with little or no success, nntil I had almost despaired of relief. I then tried several advertised remedies, bnt nothing pro­ duced the desired result nntil a friend who had been relieved induced me to give DR. DAVID KENNEDY'S FAVORITE REMEDY a trial. I did so. Aft> r taking one bottle I began to experi­ ence relief. I took another and was charmed with the result. In all, I have taken four bottles, and can truly say I feel like a new man. I am confident I am entirely cured, as it has been several months since I took the last medicine, and there is no indication of a return of the dis­ ease. I have recommended your remedy to sev­ eral suffering friends who have also been re­ lieved. I write this to return my sincere thanks to you for the cure whloh has been effected in my case, and also desire to say that I think suf­ fering humanity owe you a debt of gratitude for ydur wonderful scientific discovery. I shall do all that in me lies to let all sufferers know where they may find relief, and thereby tn some measure remunerate you for the eood you have done me. Wishing you long life and prosperity, and thanking you for prolonging my life, 1 am Very truly yours, HARRY W. OIJMSTEAD, Proofreader 1 ndianapolls Time*. ARREST!!
