Tom TJirby was not so engrossed in either his breakfast or newspaper that he did not feel a reasonable amount of cariosity in regard to the letter that so completely absorbed his wife's attention. It was useless to ask a question, or even remind lier that her coffee was growing cold; therefore, it was a relief to his anxiety when the last of the eight pages of closely-written note paper was read, and she looked at him over the coffee urn. "You remember the Yernons, Tom?" "I should be ungrateful if I did not, since I met you at their house." "They were very kind to me, and took me everywhere. I was far too poor to see much of society without their help. Fanny writes me they have money troubles. She wants me to lend Iter 5,000." "Dollars or oents?" "Dollars, I fancy.'* "And will you?" "I wish I could. Liberal as my al­ lowance ot pin-money is, I am penni­ less at the end of the quarter. She wants the money for six month." "And you cannot oblige 4ier?" ".No, I wish I could. But you can." "I am a banker, and lend money on good security. But I cannot afford to give away $5,000." "You do not doubt that Fanny will return the money when she says she Will?" asked Kate, in surprise. "I would not be so rude. Besides, a «nere promise is, to say the least, un- business like." - "Tom, you are sorely joking. You will not refuse Fanny--or rather me!" exclaimed Kate in dismay. "A practical joke then," he answered coolly. "Which is always mean and vulgar," returned Kate, hotly. "I don't agree with yon. They are amusing, if cleveily managed." Tom had risen, gathering up his let­ ters and papers as he spoke. He had not beeu mir^ried long enough to know whether to expect a scene, and he was anxious to get away. But Kate took his refusal coolly, though she did not hide her disappointment Tom was rich, and liberal enough with his money; but he was also habitually sharp in a business matter, and not fond of risks. He was afraid he had offended his wife, but he could not help it She would constantly be made a dupe of by her friends if they found she had unlimited credit "Then yon refuse to lot me help Fanny?" asked Kate as she left the roonc. "Certainly; unless she gives proper security." "Then 4$ if only the security you •wish?" "Yes; and if you will write--" "Pardon me," interrupted Kate, "I could scarcely, after all the Vernon's kindness, write thatJE doubted their honesty." # Tom Kirby'said no more, but went to his bank. Kate strolled through the conservatory, fed her bird*, gave the necessary household orders, and sent word to the coachman at what hour ahe wanted the carriage. Then she wrote a long letter to Fanny Vernon. Tom Kirby would have been surprised if he had read the last half dozed lines. Kate expressed regret at not enclosing the desired check, but promised to do •o in a week. Then she dressed to go out Her first visit was to her jeweler's, where she boaght some trinkets, looked at sets of jewels, and ended in ordering her diamonds to be re-set in an antique style she fancied. They were to be sent home the first of the week, in time for a ball that was to be given. Then she drove to her dressmaker's, and wasted an hour <or more looking over fashions, before sbe ordered a dress for the coming I kali. By the way, madam," she said, as ahe left, "I have an order for you to fill immediately. It is for a widow's diess, bonnet, veil--in short, everything need­ ed for the deepest grief/' "Certainly." said the smiling madasn *"It shall be sent as soon as possible. I shall be glad to give satisfaction as it js not for yourself." Mr. Kirby is perfectly well," said Kwte gravely. Tom Kirby was grlad to find that Kate had fargotten their little trouble abovi the $5,000 loan; indeed Kate was • gayer nor sweeter tempered sino© ibie first knew her. He was very busy morning, and not at all pleas- ed, when his clerk announced that a lady wis lied to see him on business. He had a good many visitors and he did not enjoy them. He thought wo­ men impracticable, and badly informed about business, usually expecting fa- ors. "What does she look like?" asked rota. "That is hard to tell, for she is in wid- r's mourning, and Jcaeps her veil over face." *Oi^#ii#Wi»ed Tom, very sure what i)C%oman he had to deal with, and hardening his heart to his foew "Ask her in. ' The WM in the deepest weeds, and though she raised her veil, she only partially showed her face. As far as Tom could see, grief had not consumed her beauty. She had a pretty pink color, great brown eyes that had a wistful look in them, and aoft blonde bangs. Tom thought he preferred dark beauties, with brown hair and merry eyes, with clear but colorless complexion; at least this kind of beau­ ty in Kate had greatly attracted him. But he suddenly felt an admiration for plaintive eyes and golden hair, shaded by a heavy pall of crape which of itself would have made a young face interest­ ing. The lady at once stated her case. She was embarrassed for ready money, hav­ ing met with a recent loss--here she touched her dress. It would be six mouths before she could realize any­ thing from her husband's estate. ' She wished Mr. Kirby to loan her live thou­ sand dollars for six months. "On what security?'" Tom asked, feel­ ing strongly tempted to let her have the money without any. If Kate were left a widow, and were in such extrem­ ity. he would like her to bo helped by some one who would not make too strict a business matter of the loan. "Here is mv security," the widow an­ swered, unclasping a small satchel she carried, and handing him a leather case in which was a set of diamonds in an­ tique setting. Tom knew a good deal of diamonds, and saw at a glance that these were worth much more than the loan asked on them; but he disliked to take possession of them, and said so. . "I am not accustomed to do business in this way," he said hastily. "Your note will be sufficient. I am very sure you are just what you say you are, and I am contented to run "the risk." "Are you quite sure that I am hon­ est?" she asked, smiling. "We women are seldom good managers, and I pre­ fer you should keep my diamonds." So Tom locked the jewels up in his safe, and had the necessary papers made out, to which the widow signed, the pretty name of Blanche Bland. ^ Tom did not mention the widow to Kate, chiefly because she might revive recollection of his refusal of the $5,000 to Fanny Vernon, and Kate had, he acknowledged, behaved exceedingly well about it. She had not shown the least ill-will, so he thought it best to keep as far as possible from the sub­ ject. Only once was Kate foolishly wil­ ful--on the night of Mrs. Bell's ball. Her dress was perfect, but she refused Tom's request that she should wear her diamonds, on the plea that they would spoil the effect of her toilet. Tom thought not He liked to see her wear the jewel ; liked to know that he could afford to give them to her. Kate laughed off this small disagreement by promising to wear the jewels at the next ball. But this one was the last of the season. It was a morning in August. The windows were wide ppen, but the air was heavy with heat and the odor of late summer flowers. The stock market was as heavy as the air, and Tom Kirby sat over his breakfast reading ' the ad­ vertisements of summer resorts. It was difficult to find exactly what he wished, and so he proposed Saratoga. But Kate objected. She did not feel e;]ual to the crowd, and the amount of dressing required. She did not seem interested in the advertisement he read out; indeed, she was absorbed in the letter she was reading. Suddenly Tom recalled their breakfast last December when he had refuse.I to loan Fanny Vernon $5,000. The surroundings were so entirely different; as widely separat­ ed as the beefsteak and omelet of the winter breakfast was from the cool melons and peaches of the summer meal. Then he remembered the fact that the time had entirely arrived for the pretty widow to redeem her dia­ monds ; and he wondered at his forget- fulness in proposing to leave home just then. He did not care to explain, even to his confidential clerk, that he had diamonds as security locked up in the safe. Suddenly Kate -looked Up from her letter and said: "Tom, I withdraw my objection. I think the Saratoga plan is excellent" "It does not make the smallest differ­ ence. I am not strongly inclined to­ wards Saratoga," said Tom, coldly. "But I am. The Bells are there, and plenty of people we know." "I cannot go for a couple of weeks," said Tom, curtly. "Why, you said you wished to go this week--" "But I forgot a business engagement," interrupted Torn. "Oh!" was Kate's only answer. "Kate," asked Tom suspiciously; "why did you change your mind so suddenly? Was it something in Fanny's letter?" "Why did you so suddenly remember your business engagement?" asked Kate. "Did Fanny's letter recall it?" "Asking a question is no answer," Tom said, evasively. "Well, then I'll confess. I could not go to Saratoga without my diamonds. But of course you will let me have them." "Have you gone mad, Kate? Where could I have put your diamonds ?" "Where else but in your safe? See here, Tom,*'--and Kate came softly be­ hind him, and reaching over his shoul­ der, laid an open check on the table, for $5,000, signed by Fanny Vernon. "I knew Fanny much better than you did." "You do not mean, Kate, you were the widow?" asked Tom, after a mo­ ment's silence, in which he took in the situation. Kate nodded. "But she had light hair." "Bought, Tom." "Eyes entirely different from yours." "Penciled, my dear." "And a lovely eolor." "Rouge, you goose-" "And the diamonds are not gel as yours are." "I had them re-set. I have always fancied the antique style." "Kate, was it proper in you to deceive your husband?" "It was only a clever practical joke. They are amusing if cleverly done, you know. Oh, Tom. Tom, you would have given the widow the $5,000 without se­ curity, you know you wosld." "A. man might trust his wife to that aaaoust," answered Tom. "If lie does not take her far some one else's widow."--OodeyV Lady's Book. Pa^anlnL, the toning. A young man who has imbibed the notion that he is a genius is apt to lose his balance. The flattery of frjfends makes him so vain that he imagines that he, at least, may attain without labor. He ignores mental discipline, because it involves hard study. He trusts to his genius to push him up, and sinks. Scores of young men go to pieces at the beginning of the voyage, when they might have entered port with every sail drawing, had they taken their de­ parture from Carlyle's definition of genius: A capacity for infinite pains­ taking. All Europe hailed Paganini as a gen­ ius. During forty years he reigned the monarch of the violin, no rival near his throne. If any one was ever born a violin he was. As soon as he could hold the violin he began to play it The wor­ shippers in the churches of Genoa often looked towards the choir to see a child playing on a violin almost as large as himself. His genius was phenomenal. It gave him capacity, and urged him to de­ velop it by intense application. His precocity astonished those from whom he sought instruction: but they were amazed at the zeal and rapidity with wh^ch he worked at his lessons. He soon exhausted their ability to instruct and so passed on from one great teacher to another. He went to BoUa, the great musician of Parma. The master was ill in bed, and Paganini waited in the ante-room. Some sheets of difficult music were ly­ ing on the table, alongside of a violin. The boy looked at the music, and began playing it. "Who is the great master playing in my ante room ?" asked Rolla, raising himself to listen. "A mere boy! impossible!" he ex­ claimed on being told that the player was a mere lad, who wished to become a pupil. When Paganini appeared before the invalid's bed, the master said, "I can teach you nothing." The boy had practised ten or twelve hours a day. He would try a passage over and over again in different ways, with such perseverence that at nightfall he was exhausted by fatigue. He com­ posed as well as practised, writing music so difficult that he could not play it until he had mastered it by incessant prac ice. Let the reader note the working of the boy's genius. It prompted him to compose a hard task to be mastered by himself. It kept him up to his work day. after day, until he had mastered the task. The boy had a capacity for infinite painstaking. The boys genius made him thorough. Faraday used to begin his investigation of a phenomenon by learning all that other scientists had written about it. With similar thoroughness young Paganini acquired a knowledge of what other violinists had done or left undone. He would have knowledge as well as art, so that he might hot lail through ignorance or plaigiarism. He worked hard to produce new effects and combi­ nations. He sighed for a new world for he had explored the old. His ex­ plorations gave him his' point of depar­ ture. He sailed from it and discovered a new world in which he had no master, no equal, no follower. His art was born with him, but lie developed it by study and practice. When he died men said ho carried his secret with him to the grave. It niay be so; but the intelligent reader of his life discerns that Paganini's ability, to master details accounts in part for his success. --Youth's Companion.

Teaching the Owlets to Fly* In the b ak of each owl was a mouse, or what I took to be such, and when they alighted on the maple I could de­ tect, in the uncertain light, that they did not approach closely to the young birds, but having removed the mice, which they now held in their claws, they chattered and screamed to t heir young in a manner that could only be interpreted as, "Come over here and get your mouse." It was evident that the young owls were to be taught to help themselves, and to practice their power of flight As an inducement to do the latter, the mice were held tempt­ ingly before them, but quite out o; reach. Finally, one young owl, more venturesome than his fellows, essayed to fly; but it was a miserable failure, for, instead of reaching the desired branch, it fell short a foot or more, and tumbled to the ground. I cannot prove that owls laugh, but I think any one who heard the old birds just then would never doubt the fact that they do. The funniest feature, however, was that the three remaining young birds were dis­ gusted with what they saw, or were frightened by it; at all events, they hastened back to their nest, and I saw them no more that evening. Of the poor fellow that fell to the ground there is much to be said, as it was with it that the old birds were now wholly concerned, and their actions were highly entertaining. Leaving the tree they flew down to the hapless bird, and muttered in low tones to it, in a most sympathizing manner. Their ut­ terances now, which I could hear not­ withstanding the racket made by the frogs, were very varied, and gave the impression that they were holding a conversation. After the lapse of a min­ ute or more the old birds together took a short, low flight, and then returned to the young owl. Was it not to show it how easy flight was? Then again they flew away, in the same munner, and the yotfng owl, endeavored to fol­ low. It was with evident difficulty that it left the ground, but when once its feet were clear of the grass it progress­ ed satisfactorily, though only for a short distance. This pleased the old birds, for one of them came to the plucky little fellow, and, with one wing extended, patted the young bird on the head and back most tenderly. At this I laughed aloud, most unfortunately, and immediately the old bird flew to the nestingtree, and then discovered my hiding place. Of all the scoldings I ever got, that from the owls, this even­ ing, was the severest As I moved away I recalled the oft-witnessed scene of the king birds worrying crows. It was the same thing in my case. Keep­ ing just out of reach of my cane, they swooped about my head and snapped their bills viciously. They did not dare to strike me, but they canse unpleas­ antly near, and it was with a feeling of comfort that I finally reached safer quarters.--Popular Science Monthly. DON'T gossip. It not only injures you by leading you to exaggerate facts, but it often injures those of whom you speak when no injury was intended. Words, especially bad ones, are like thistle seed borne upon the breeze. They lodge and grow over the land and when onoe started cannot be picked up1 again. recur- MnoeofeolipMS, w&hjwUdng particu­ larly bad happening after them, moat primitive people associate with them an •men of some great danger to the earth or the moon. The Greenlanders have a personal apprehension in the matter, and^ believe that the moon rummages their houses for skins and victuals, and destroys those persons who have not observed due sobriety. The South American Chiquitos try to help the darkened star against a dog that has worried it till its light has been colored red, and extinguished by its streaming blood; and they shoot arrows into the sky to drive away the dog. Charlevoix gives a similar account of the Guarani, except that with them a t:ger takes the place of a dog; and in the language of the Tupis the literal translation of the word for an eclipse is, "The jaguar has eaten the sun." So, in Asia, the Tun- guses believe an evil spirit has swal­ lowed the earth's satellites, and they try to frighten it away by shots at the darkened disk. In Sumatra and Ma­ lacca the fear is aroused that a great snake will swallow the sun or the moon, and the Xagas of Assam set up a great drum-beating, as if in battle, to trighten away the devouring monster. Among the American tribes are some who be­ lieve that eclipses are a warning of the approaching disappearance of the sun and. the fall of the moon at the end of the world. The Pottawatomies tell of a demon in the shape of an old woman, sitting in the moon weaving a basket on the completion of which the world will be destroyed. A dog contends with the woman, tearing the basket to pieces _ every once in a while, and then an eclipse of the moon takes place; others imagine that the moon is hun­ gry, sick, or dying at these times; while the Alfuras of Ceram think lie is asleep, and make a great uproar to awake him. These superstitions are not so remote as they may seem at first sight from the impressions which the heavenly phenomena make upon many persons who consider themselves civilized. Cir­ cles may be found in nearly every na­ tion upon whom the appearance of any­ thing unusual in the sky carries an ap­ prehension that something dreadful is about to happen; and by whom even the most ordinary phenomena are in­ vested with occult influence upon things that we know have no connection with them, and it is only two or three cen­ turies since the dire portents of comets and eclipses were prayed against in all the churches.--Popular Science Monthiy. • The Dress of Keva Scotia Women. The young girls array themselves in hats and costumes which are only two or three years behind the prevailing mode; but the attire of the middle-aged and elderly women is striking and pe­ culiar. For Sundays, this is invariably black throughout, and yet does not look funereal. The dress is plain bombazine or alpaca, a shawl folded square, and over the head a large silk handkerchief, which must be put on with great exact­ ness and care to make just so many folds at the sides, with a huge knot un­ der the chin; while the point at the back hangs below the neck and gener­ ally has one or more initials neatly worked in colors (cross-stitched) in the corner. As most have clear olive com­ plexion, with rich color in the cheeks, and lustrous black eyes, this head-dress is surprisingly becoming, giving quite a gypsyish effect. The old women, in winter, wear enormous cloaks, made with a large square yoke, into which eight or ten breadths of material are closely plaited--this unwieldy garment completely enveloping them from head to foot. These distinctive features in oostumes are disappearing, and ere long our American peasantry may become more commonplace and uninteresting. Let us hope that they may never lose the sweet simplicity, frankness, hon­ esty, thrift and other pleasing character­ istics which they now possess.--Cor, Tourists' Gazette. The Hubit of Sunday Stuffing.. This habit has grown to be common in our large cities, where men live at a distance from their business places, and therefore take a light lunch every day during the week. When Sunday comes they have leisure for breakfast, and little exercise during the forenoon; then have a royal dinner at 2 o'clock, and perhaps lazy lounging and "lying off," as it is called, during the after­ noon ; they thus eat twice as much on Sunday as they do other days. The appetite is just as good as it would be if they were engaged in their ordinary occupation, but the needs of the system are not half so great when a persop is idle as when he is actively or labori­ ously engaged in business, and the "re­ sult is that Monday is a blue day to very many. It is a day of headaches and ill-feeling, and by Wednesday, per­ haps, they get back into their normal track again, and by Saturday are ready for another stuffing on Sunday. We believe that dyspepsia in city men originates, in nine cases out of ten, in the practice of over-eating, and taking little exercise on Sunday.--N. Sixer, in Phrenological Journal. Oiling Wagon Wheels. A well-made wheel will endure eon* stant wear from ten to twenty-five ears, if care is taken to use the right ind and proper amount of grease, but if this matter is not attended to, it will be used up in five or six years. Lard should never be used on a wagon, for it will penetrate the hub and work its way out around the tenons of the spokes and wheel. Tallow is the best lubri­ cator for wooden axletrees, and castor oil for iron hubs, but many of the pres­ ent axle greases are also excellent, and have the merit of being cheaper and easier to handle. Just grease enough should be applied to the spindle of a wagon to give it a slight coating. This is better than more, for the surplus put on will work out at the ends, and be forced by the shoulder bands and nut-washer into the hub around the out­ side of the boxes. To oil an iron axle- tree, first wipe the spindle clean with a piece of cloth wet with spirits of tur­ pentine, and then apply a few drops of castor oil ne.ir the shoulder and end. One teaspoonful is sufficient for the whole.--Farming World. In Panning Through Some Fertile Valley, Or riding along the banks of some beautiful river, whose shores were rich in evidences of luxuriant vegetation, did yon ever in the early morning or the evening, notice a mist hanging like a pall over the circumjacent land, and then were you surprised to leam that malaria wa# rife in that locality? If so, you were wofnlly Urnorant ot the nature and effects of miasma. Against the effect of that lever- breeding vapor there is safety, however. Hostetter's Stomach Hitter* iurniahes that safety, as the dwellers of Bueh regions know l»y experience. Not only on this continent, bnt in the fever-plaeued re­ gions of the tropics, this sterling safeguard affords e&eniption from malarial diseases to thousands. .Nor is it less successful in remedy­ ing and pr3»entins disorder of the stomach, liver and bowels, specially virulent wherever the sun's rav» Lossess greatest power.

There it some mysterious trouble that la attacking nearly every one in the land with more or less violence. It seems to steal into the body like a thief in tne night. Doctors cannot diagnose it. Scientists are puzzled by its symptoms. It is, indeed, a modern mys­ tery. Likp those severe and vague maladies that attack horses and prostrate nearly all the animals in the land, this subtle trouble seems to menace mankind. Many of its victims have pains about the chest and sides,and some­ times in the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has a bad taste, especially in the morn­ ing. A strange, slicnv stiinc coilccts al.outthe teeth. The apitctitc is poor. There is a feel­ ing like a heavy load upon the stomach; sometimes a faint, all-gone sensation Istclt at the pit, oC the stouiaca, which food docs not satisfy. The eyes grow sunken, the hands and feet feel clammy at one time and burn intensely at others. Alter a while a cough sets in, at first dry, but after a few months it Is attended with a grayii>h-colo-eci expecto­ ration. The a:ti!ctcd ono i'eels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to a'.lord any rest. He becomes n&vous, irritable, and gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is a giddiness, a peculiar whirling sensation in the head when rising up suddenly. The bow­ els become costive, and then, again, outtlux intensely; the sain is dry and hot uttimes; the blood grows thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes become tinged with yel­ low; the urJne is scanty and high-colored, depositing a sediment after standing. There is frequently a spitting up of the food, sometimes with a sour taste, and sometimes with a sweetish taste; this is often attended with palpitation of the heart. The vision be­ comes impaired, with spots before the eyes; there is a feeling of prostration and great weakness. Most of these bymptcms are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one- third of our population havo this disorder in some of its varied forms, while medical men have almost wholly mistaken its nature. Some have treated it for one complaint; some for another, but nearly all have failed to reach the seat of the disorder. Indeed, many physicians are afflicted with it them­ selves. The experience of Dr. A. G. Rich­ ards,*. residing at No. 4H8 Tremont street. Boa- ton, Is thus described by himself: "I had all those peculiar and painful symp­ toms which 1 have found afflicting so many of my patients, and which had so often baf­ fled me. 1 knew all the commonly estab­ lished remedies would be unavailing, for I had tried them often in- the past. I there­ fore determined to strike out in a new path. To my intense satisfaction I found thut I wa« improving. The dull, stupid feeling de­ parted, and 1 began to enjoy life onoe ntore. My appetite returned. My sleep was re­ freshen?. The color of my face, which had been a sickly yellow, gradually assumed the pink tinge of health. In the course of three weeks I felt like a new man, and know that it was wholly owing to the wonderful efficien­ cy of Warner's Tippecanoe The Best, which was all the medicine I took." Doctors and scientists often exhaust their skill and the patient dies. They try every­ thing that has teen used by, or is known to, the profession, and then fail. Even If they save the life it is often after great and pro­ longed agony. Where all this can bo avoided by precaution and care, how insane a thing it is to endure such suffering! With.a pure and palatable preparation within reach, to neglect its use is simply inexcusable. Life in an Unknown Country. Women work hard in A j mere. By the Dah Bungalow I saw a file of a dozen, chiefly young girls, uplifted high on an unfinished house, busily engaged in bricklaying. In most towns water is supplied in frequent wells ap­ proachable from the street level. At Ajmere the daily supply of water is found in a dip between two walls of rock approached by steep flights of steps. One rock rising there out of the water was almost literally hidden from view by a cloud of pig- eonB that clung to its rugged front. It was a pretty sight, the constant stream of straight, lithe women iu many-col­ ored kirtles coming and going with their red jars poised on their heads. Some had a smalt ring of plaited straw which they placed on their heads, and on this stood the water jar, slim-necked, full-bodied, and rounding off at the base to a ring no larger than the palm of the hand. Far up at the top of the steps on the town side was a stalwart blind beggar who had miraculously caught sight of us, and at short inter vals broke forth into stentorian en­ treaty forfacksheesh.--Cor.

He refers te the entire Western and Southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in no case whatever will it lhil to care if the direc­ tions are atriotly followed and carried out. In a great many eases a single dote has been sufficient for a oure, and whole fami­ lies have been cured by a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent, and in every case more certain to oure, if its use is continued In smaller doses for a week or two after the disease has been checked, more especially in diffioult and long-standing cases.
