I reached home in it species of frenzy, which alarmed my mother and sister exceed. ingly. I am not of a demonstrative nature ; thus my agitation was the more distressing to others and to myself. I told my mother all that bad lnppened without reserve mud in doing so, I grew calmer. Tncn we had a long conversation respecting Miss Garston. How should I break to her the news that Mr. Lamport was about to be arrested for her attempted murder? A vast, yes, a fun- damental revolution was trembling around her ; should its approach he announced, or was I to permit- it to burst on her unn- waresl “if she is at all able to bear the com- munication, tell her,” said my mother. " You will of course quietly prepare her for it. \Vomen can endure far more than men suppose. Besides, if Miss Garston knows that she is in no further danger from that horrid man, that will sustain her.” “ But where it she to o afterwards I" I asked. “I know she wil not stay in Mr. Lamport's house." ”Bring her here,” returned my mother. “ Your sister and I will care for her until she is able to decide upon her future.

In this country such a thing should never be, for as Gov- ernor he takes the fixst place, and yet the news sport have been putting not only his wife but his wi’e's nap .ew before him. it is absurd and flunkeyish without the slight- ett reason.

But I will not mention the poisoning. couu enancea as e gronnet upon t e floor. The butler had witnessed the operation with the horror of a gentleman who had passed his life in the serene regions where vulgar rascals are only known by printed reports of their doings. I recalled the good follow to himself, and sent him to the ser- vant’s hall to keep order and quiet, bidding him remember the sick lady up-stairs. Thou followed a curious silence. The policemen sat by the door ; the Italian, half- dead with the reaction of the struggle, re- clined against the wall. Perhaps ten min. utea passed, when the grating of wheels was heard on the drive, and the flash of a car- riage-lamp shot through the window, whose blinds were still uudmwn. It was Mr. Lamport returning at last. 1 heard him walk swiftly through the hall; and my heart throbbed as he approached. Ho look- ed like it man under the influence of drink, as he entered the libraryâ€"that far-away gaze, that unconsciousnesaof surrounding ob- jects. The spell lasted but a moment. Ho rubbed his brow, glanced at the policemen, then his eye met the glimmering stare of Paudofini, who strove to regain his feet. Here Inspector Kunbmuu walked in; evi- deutly he had come with Mr. Lamport, for he had that per.ou's overcoat in his hand. “ 1 now inform you, Mr. Ltmport," said the inspector, " why you are under arrest. You and this man Puudofini are charged with attempted poisoning.” Mr. Imuport became ghastly pale and turned hastily towards the door. Both police u sprau to soil) him.

" Did you ever see a bottle like that be- fore!" asked the inspector. The miserable man turned his face away. in the meantime. a rapid change came over Pandofiui. He was no longer rowed. Looking keenly at the inspector, Mr. Lam- poqt. and myself in turn, he appeared to acids upon a new course of action. ’l‘uru- ing to the inspector, he said, ingratiatingly: " I wish to tell all i know. sir.

Mr. Lamport died within a year of his sentence ; but Pandoflnl survived his deportation to the antipodes for several years. . 0f vastly more interest to me was the fate of the p:or lady whose life I had happily saved. In s ite of all m precautions, the arrest of Mr. port an the disruption of the household had serious coast quences. For a time I feared the worst. Even Dr. Dawson agreed that Miss Garston had been in a. more serious condition than he had sup« posed. But the recuperativc powers of youth are enormous : and good nursing can work wonders. Three months after my first acquaintance with Miss Garstou. she was convalescent. 4 In the meantime, the crisis. which Mr. Limport's recklessness had made inevitable, burst furiously upon the house of Garstout and Lamport. The arrest and conviction of the surviving partner precipitated the dis- aster. But in Mr. S'eigh Miss Garstou had a devoted servant and a shrewd man of busi- nesl. It is not the purpose of this story to dwell upon the terrible struggle that on- sued to maintain the house from utter col- lapse, and thereby to save something of Miss Garston's fortune. Several business friends rallied round the tottering firm : and by Mr. Sleiuh's skill, the liabilities of Lam- port were disentangled from the estate of his former partner. I am not skilled in commercial affairs, and cannot fully realize the immense service rendered by the book- keeper. It made him famous on ’Cbauge. and the name of Sleigh is still remembered in the romance of trade. Soon after Lam- port’s death was reported in England, the establishment that he had brought to ruin had recovered, and Miss Garstou’s fortune was saved; and the man who had accom- plished the t x'raordinnry task was worthily recompensed; Mr. Sleigh became the suc- cessor to Messrs Girstou and Lamport, and, with his sons, advanced the old house to greater influence than it had known pre- viously. thut became of the lady who had experi- enced so many dark vicissitudes? Was Miss Garstou's future of a happy, compensa- tory sort? To these queries, which every reader is constrained to put, I can give the amplest. reply. Miss Garston became my win some time after her affairs were restor- ed to order. For forty years now, we have trod the world together, enjoying it larger measure. of happiness than falls to most. The circumstances which brought us to- gether perhaps made us nearer and dearer to each other than we might otherwise have been. We are still sweethearts ; for time, though it has transformed as externally, has not changed our love. THE END. “envoys.”â€" Food and Brain Work. An organism which is doing brain work as well as muscular work requires hither and better food than an organism in which the brain is comparatively idle and only the lower centres and the muscles do much work. Undoubtedly the effect of brain work is to strengthen the brain and to ren- (for it less likely to becomcnbnormul in its structure or disorderly in itsvactivity than if it were idle. Such exercise as the brain receives in education, properly so.calledâ€"- that is, development of the facultiesâ€" stimulates nutrition, and in sodoiug in- creases the need for food. Excessive activi- ty with anxiety is not good at all, and ought to have no place in the educational process. \Vorry is fatal to good work, and to worry the growing brain of achild with work is to maim and cripple its organization, doing ir. reparuble, because structural, mischief, the effects of which must bolife-loug. “Tension" in work is not a proof of strength, but of weakness. A well developed and healthy grown brain works without tension of any kind. The knit brow, straining eyes, and. fixed attention of the scholar are not tokens of power, but of (fibula ‘The true athlete does not strain and pant: when he puts forth his strength. The intellectual man with a strong mind does his brain work easily. Tension is friction, and the moment the toil of a growing brain becomes laborious it should cease. \Ve are, unfortunately, so accustomed to see brain work done with of- fort that we have come to associate work with effort, and toregard “tension"aa some- thing tolerablc, if not natural. As a matter of fact no man should knit his brow as he thinks or in any way evince effort as he works. The best brain work isdoue easily, with a calm spirit, an cquablo temper, and injsunty mood. All else is the toll of a weak or ill-developed brain straining to ac- complish a task which is relatively too great for it.-â€"Lancet. “MO->00»â€" Tobacco cu the Young. We have referred. to the notion of some foreign authorities in forbidding the use of tobacco by the youngâ€"the prohibition being based on the fact that tobncc: lessens their future capacity of service to the State, os- pecinlly in military life. In full accord with this is the Report of Dr. Gibou, Medical Director, U. S. N. In retiring from the Institution he desired to leaveit as his last utterance that “beyond all other things, the future health and usefulness of the lads educated at this school rtquirod the absolute interdiction of to- bacco." In this opinion no is, he says, sustained by his colleagues; by all other sanitariaus in mili and civil life whose views he had been able to learn; and by the known Belief of the officer who was to succeed 1m. The fact that so many adults can use to- bacco with apparent impunity is, in his view, no argument in favor of its use by growing lads. for while it arrests waste of tissue in the former, this very arrest of waste to the young is connected with a retarding of their normal development. lie adds, " An agent, which, through its sedative effect on the circulation, creates a thirst for alcoholic stimulation: which, by its depressing and disturbing effect on the ncrvo centres, increase! bad pit-ions; which determines functional diseases of the heart ; which imparea vision, blunts the memory. and interior. with mental tlfort and ap- plic iti-in. ought, in my opinion as a sanitary officer, at whatever cost of vigil- ance, to be rigorously interdicted."â€"â€"- l'oul/i's Coir-panics. â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"~oo<o.-FH.â€"â€"â€"â€" Are the young women of the present day getting into fatness and slang?

Young women like to be admired and if theothersex showtheexarnp: of slang and admire those of the better f of humanity who do the same. it is not at all wonderful if the slang market should rather look up. Certain sure it is that young girls won't get fast and slangy unless the society in which they live and more have such char- acteristia.

The wadding which ad- hered to the ball was carefully detached gm has intordietcd “all luxurious Writing and found to be part of a ballad, the other part had been taken from the prisoner's picket. and from the exact correspond- ence of the two parts of the ballad it was immediately inferred that it had been torn in twain by the prisoner. Ho was hanged. Florida's case almoat‘rqualod the foregoing. but must take a second place frOm the fact that there was a corroborating statement by the prisoner. The case is as follows : Archibald \V. Newton, belonging to a rich English family, came from England to take employment on a railroad in Grange county, Florida. Afterwards he was suspected of forgery. and vague rumors prcvn‘led that he had been compelled to leave England on ac- count on n criminal assault on a young girl, Kate Bowron. He, however, sent money to the girl, whojiined him in Orange, where they were married. About this time New ton was negotiating with an old man. Simuel McMillan. for an orange rove, and who was reputed wealthy. Suddenly the farmer disappeared and his headless body was found at the bottom of a lake and his head discovered soon afterwards. Young Newton, who quickly became it man of menus, stated that his brother-in-law in England had sent him abundant funds. Ho was arrested for the murder of the old man. 0n the trial the State produced a single coarse red hair which a doctor had found in blood stains on Newton's cket handker- chief. Tnis hair corrospon ed with the hair on the head of the murdered man with un- fortunate cxactness. But as no two hairs on a man’s head are precise] alike in struct- ure, differing as the do an or microscopical lens in fibre and cylindrical dimensions, and the differentiation being increased by daily manifestations, the evidence of that single red hair was rather an inference of guilt than direct circumstantial proof of it. But the hair introduced as a principal witness had corroborating testimony of the ghastly deed. The State introducodn young woman who knew the Bowrou family, and stated that they were so poor that they could. not raise twenty-five pounds, and hence the absurdity of Newton's brother-iu-law send- ing him money on which he could make such a flush display. The prisoner was convicted, sentenced to death, and is now awaiting execution. In the case which came before Lord Eldon no corroborating witness was necessary ; the ballad sang its own song of triumph. In the Florida case the sing a red hair, although a terrible sug- gestive witness, needed the false statement of money forwarded from England to con- London.

I find them all guilty of flagrant. self-con- sciousness. They succeed socially. To undervalue their own good looks, to be unaware of their own good points, would be a social error. The taste of society is so vile that it prefers the flaunting sunflower or the solhassertivo hollyhock to tho-rose veiled in moss, to the fragrant lowly mig- nonotto, or to the quiet, pink-tipped daisy. I differ from soniety, and it calls me cynic. Let me introduce you to the women I know and thou dub me cynic if you can.
