A SENSIBLE BONNET. “I amready, Harry.” Harry Cleveland raised his eyes from his paper, and quickly there came a comical ex- pression on his handsome, bronzed face, and Mmeying with wondering eyes his sis- ter for a half minute. he asked: “What in the name of common sense have t on your head, X ettie 1” “ by, my bonnet, of course!

I shall order my spring bon- net to-day,” came in a fresh feminine voice. "All right, Claire. You order a pretty. httle cottage bonnet, the color to suit your- self, and wear it to the music Saturday afee'rnoon, and fifty dollars are yours. Nettie pouiid, and'mnred somefihg‘ like “old maid.” “0h, Nettie !” said her brother, in a re- tone. “I dcn’t care. Claire, I believe, just likes to look as old maidishas possible.

Perhaps I should have gonewithhiminto the hall, and have an~ sweredhim,andthus might have dispelled his doubts. Well, Harry, I have never seen him, to speak to, since.” “Claire, some oneâ€"possibly Julia Camer- onâ€"had told him of William. Were you often with him!” “Yes, William is as ardent a lover of music as myself. He took me frequently to con- certs and the opera. But he knew perfectly well of my correspondence with Dr. Forrest. er, and believed we ’were as good as engaged.

Well, I know some one filled his heartand mind with doubts. You should have cleared all those away, Claire. You would have been happier.” Tears filled Claire’s eyes. She turned her head away, as her aunt entered the room. Harry returned to the bonnet subject, and a few momenta after Claire went out. “Sheisadeu,goodgirl; molly an angel of mercy. Many weary hearts bless her,” Harry’s mother said, as the door closed after Claire’s retreating steps. Saturday afternoon came, and Claire, in the prettiest, little cottage bonnet imagin- able, dove-color, with trimmingsof the same shade, presented herself, ready to accompany Harry to the promenade concert. Even Nettie had to admit thebonnet lock- ed “well enough,” as Claire was just leav- ing off her mourning, worn for her mother. Harry declared her prettier than he had ever seen her before. “Claire,” he said, as they turned from ad‘ mixing a painting on exhibition in a. window, "look at that child standing at the corner: See how eagerly she looks into the faces, passing!” “Oh, yes; and see, too, how much anguish there is in her face. Come, we will speak to herL!” said Claire, aproaching the little gn- Just then the child’s eyes rested an instant on Claire. With a glad cry she sprang for- ward, and caught hold of her dress, say- mg: “You are kind! 0h, comewith me; mam- maisdylng. I don’t know whattodo. They sent me for a doctor. WherecanI go to get one I” “Go with her; I will step over the way to Doctor Hall’s, and overtake you,” Harry said, hastening off. On their way, Claire learned from the child, her mother was a stranger in W'â€"â€". She had come from Virginia, in qua“ of work. The friends she expectedto find were out of town; that all their little money was spent, and her mother grew sick a few days ago, and she feared would die, because she could not buy medicine, and was so weak from hunger. Claire hurried on, but before they had gone three squares, Harry overtook them. “Doctor Hall was out, but I found another. Heiscoming;willreachthereaseoon as we,” he said. Claire was bending over the sick woman, when a quick, firm step, entering the room, causedher to turn andmisehereyeato meet those of the doctor’s. Forgetting all the doubts of the past, she sprang forward with extended hands, cry- mg: “I am so glad you have come!” and then, with the consciousnem of the emotion she had shown, came waves of crimson over her fair face; and stepping back, she turned to ltlho sobbing child, and sought to comfort er. Warren Forrester had caught the extend- ed hand and pressed it warmly. His eyes eagerly sought Claire’s, but they haddrooped and turned away. Thus they met, after five years of doubt and bitter yeunings. The sufferingmomanwas soon restored to emacioumess, and Claire, having placed in the child’s hand money sufficient to obtain everything needful, and promised to come and see her the next day, went out to join Harry, whom she expected to find waiting for her. To her great surprise, Doctor For- rester, whohad left the room several min- utes before, came up to her and said: “Your cousin left you in my charge; will you come with me, Claire!” His voice was gentle, pleading. She rais- ed hereyosto find inhisalltheloveofyears. Joyous tears filled her own, as she placed herhandiphis, and was assisted into his carriage. “I’m not going to take you to the music, nor home either, just yet. I want to have you to myself for a while. I’ve so much to say. But tell me first; that glad welcomeâ€"was it for the physician, or me!" “Both.”she answered ingenuously. “Bless you, my darling! Now all the doubt of years arecleared away. Oh, Claire, whynothave saved me all these year-sot holiness and sorrow? Why not haveen- swered me, that day?” “Icouldnot; I was eosurprbed, eohm-t, that you had donb ted me,” Claire answered, in a low, trembling voice. “Oli‘,IthoughtI had just cause.

The fel- lowsmysthereis paydirtnear here, soI’ll have a try at it.” The landlord asked no further questions, and his guest dropped easily into the routine of lifeatTrap Rock. Hestaked ofi aclaim and worked on it, going back and forth quietly. Sometimes hetook ahand in a game in the bar-room but he never played heavily, and it was at rare intervals that he patronized the bar. It wm early in thefallwhenhe arrived at him Rock and his stay continued on. The day before ClListznas was a terrible stormy one. At night when he came in the landlord handed himalettarandalongpackage done up ins roll that came that day by express, making a joking remark about Christmas promote. Markstripoed thepaper from the package, bringing out a stout ebony cane with a heavy silver knob. He appeared rather startled at the sight of the cane, but tucked it under his arm while he opened the letter. He read the letter through and Stood silent a moment, then, handing the cane to the landlord, saying "keep this for me,” he seized his rifle and went out into the storm. The moment the door closed be- lzind him he gave way to the agitation that he would not show inthe bar-room. “ So it has come at last. My poor old {other is dead, and all that he has left to me i- :hat old loaded cone. And to think that “help of a cousin, who has supplanted me in my father‘s house, should have the nerve to write me such a letterâ€"says he sends me the cane, the only thing left me by my father’s will, in time, he hopes, to reach me fora Christmas gift. Curse him! if Ihad never let them know where I was he could not have sent it and added insult to injury already done. I may have been wild, but I never was a sneaking scoundrel.” He plunged along through the drifting snow, heaping maledictions upon the head of the man who had supplanted him in his home and fortune. All at once he stopped in his rapid walk. “Curse him!” he cried. “I’ll be even with him. He mocks me with the cane. I’ll takethatcaneandkill himwithit, by heavens!” a e e a e The first day of the new year was draw- ingtoitscloee asatall. muscular manstop- pad in front of one of the fine reddenees of Rochester. The house was well lighted up, and from the street could be seen figures moving about inside. “This was to have been mineâ€"is mine by right,” said the locker on, and his grasp tightenedupon a large cane that he held in his hand. “I wonder if the varmint is in- side there now.” “I’ll move up and see.” He entered the gate and stepped cautiously round to the side of the house and secreted himself in a knot of tall box-wood bushes near a window. Fromhis concealment he could see all that wasgoingoninthe room. Servantspassed to and fro, but the one he waited for did not appear. He had lost patience, and was about to change his hiding place, whenayoung man and woman entered the room. “So you’re here, after all,” the watcher whispered; “and my sister, has she, too turned against me?

He watched the couple as they stood talk- ing under the chandelier, andhe started as he saw the man attempt to put his arm around the girl’s waist.

Therapeutic ere of Buttermilk, Thus it will be seen that, on account ofthc large qtmntity of water and lac- tose, the fate being in much smaller quantities even thanin milk that has been skimmed, an almost ideal diuretic is at hand. It is somewhat strange that buttermilk has been used for its diuretic and laxative properties so little, though we confess that its taste is an objection that in many instances can- not beovercome. In my own practice I have been forced to stop using it several times on this account. The writer has prescribed buttermilk, not only in cases of albuminuria, but like- wise in cystitis and other afiections of the uninary passages, with naive-sally goodefiects. Ithasseemedtobeindicaâ€" tive wherever mucilaginous drinks ad- ministered solely for their soothing ef- fect, are prescribed. The amount of ni. trogenized matters present probably adds somewhat to its merits, while the salb giveafiavor not atalldjsagreeable, when itcanbetaken at all. On the whole, my use of this preparation, though restricted to affections of the kidneys and organs connected therewith, for themostparthas led me to esteem it highly and to believe it worthy of great confidence whenever the practitioner desiresto excite the flow of urine, to modify its character or to soothe an m- fiamed and conjested mucous surface over which this excretion is to pass.
