Some men :seem to take naturally to whatever promises to be unfortunate to them and it must have been in a blind obedience to this law that Charles Day insisted on regarding Jonas Terry as his friend. There was nothing in common between the 1 men but a hive for Josie Merritt, aeld If uch a circumstance is not usually conditeive to friendly feeling: Charles had wavy brown hair, a pleas- ant face a fine tenor voice. J011118 kept his heir cut after some penitentiary fash- ion,his features were.thick and common: place, and he had a short, stump figure: Their mental differences were quite as great. Charleswas rapid and bright, Jonas slow and secretive : Charles also was affeetionate and prodigal, Jonas sav- ing and prudent, and inclined to make a merit of always looking out for himself. Both were young men of some fortune and position, but Jonas alone Was in business. Charles lived upon the rents of his property, and devoted- his time to the ladies in general, and to Josie Mer- ritt in particular. - ; I ' One evening in June they pat together in the library of Charles' fine house. They had been discussing some sunnier plans and Charles said: " Leave off grinding at that money min of yoarssJonas and dime with me; we shall have a pleasant Mon-th's cruise." "I cannot possibly do it. To WI the truth, I ant in a very tight place, ancl it is a bad time for raising money."' " Hove much do yoa want ?" "About twelve thousand." "win ten thousand do ?" " Yes ; ten would -put me out oftraits. In fact, ten thousand now might be,, worth fifty thousand to me.' Charles walked to his secretary, and unlocking it, counted gut the amount in bills, ancl handed them to his friend, say, ing : ' Just give Me your I. 0. U., Jonas for two months after date. Will that be tong enough?" " You don't mean this, Charles ?" "Why,.yen I do, old fellow. It is not much of a kindness, after all. You see, Merritt paid me my quarter's rents to day, and I shall be sure to spend alt before the quarter is over if I keep the money where I can get at! it. In two months I shall be out of funds, and °in the height of the season. It is a plan of mine to secure ten thousand for a blear- ing up in September." " Thank you, Charles. I will accept the loan with pleasure, and if you should need it before, why, just drop me a line. I shall be out of trouble long before Sep- tember." The young man then drew a pen and some paper toward him, wrote out the I. G. U., and handed it to his friend, ob- serving as he did se: "Allow me to say, Charles, that it is foolish to keep id much money here. Put it with your banker." . "Certainly. Merritt paid me this. afternoon. It was so hot When he left I.' thought I would not go down town until the morning. There is no clanger. No- body but you and 'Merritt era myself knows anything about it." Then he lifted the I. 0. U., glanced at it, and rose to put it in his secretary; but as he was crossing the room Jonas said, "I heard to -clay that Josie Mer- ritt is to marry Lieutenant Pierce." In an instant the young man's thoughts were diverted from his money affairs. Be was much excited by the information, refused to believe it, and went over and ever, with a passionate earnestness, his reasons for being certain that such a thing could not be. " Why," he kept repeadiug. "I have known her ever since she was a little bit of a girl. I carried her books to school, I went with her to the dancing cless, her father has been my lawyer and adviser; I have been as much at home in Merritt's house as in my oivu. Pooh -! the thing is impossible. Josie never would treat nne like that. I won't be- lieve. it." . " Co and ask her a ' straightforward question." "I can't. It is taco late to -night, and I leave by the noon train to -morrow. I intended to have that matter hilly un- derstood this summer, but 1 was in no hurry. A love affair is all spoiled when papa and mamma and the lawyer and the world come into it. I have told Josie that, and she and I anderstand one an- other. Will you be calling there soon, Jonas?" "1 will try, if you wish it." " "They leave town in a few days, but call before, if you can, and seed me word if you see anything of the lieuten- ant." " I will. Lock up your Secretary, Charles; I see it is still open. I am very much obliged—very much." " AL1 right. You are very welcome. I am ust putting $10,000 safely away for wh a a aced it." Charles wes much annoyed at what he had heard, but he did not forget his s -end retary. It had a secrateddawer; and was capable of being fastened by three intri- cate locks. He carefully secured all three and sat down to smoke and think over again the absurdity of Josie caring for any one but himself. In half an hour he was satisfied that the thing was im- posible, and he rose rather wearily de- termined to sleep upon his faith in her love. As he passed the table he saw a, tnede of paper that attracted him ; it was Jonas' I. O. U.. He had forgotten to put it away, and it was too much trou: ble to unlock the secretary again. He hesitated a moment where to secure it, -but almost, instantly selected a place he considered singularly sefe, deposited it there, and then he went to bed and to sleep. The next day he went to Newport, and there waited impatiently the advent of the Merritts. _Before he got any let- ter from Jonas, Josie herself had setis- Red him. They had a charming stroll together,in which everything was talked over, and which left Charles in what he considered ,a very happy and enviable position. Nothing marred the hera-en of their next two months. At the end of that time the reckless lover began to be in wand of funds, and as he had heard noth- ing from Joeas, he determined to go to New York and collect his I. 0. U. He had not a care on his heart about it until he had searched his secretary again and , again, and f iled to find the paper. He lit a cigar a sat down to think. Then he suddenly remembered that he had found the paper after he had locked his secretary and that he had hid it. He even remembered the little laugh of de- light with which he had put it ni such a capital place.- But what place? He could notremember that. ' The room, as said before, was the library, andthe walls were covered to a considerable height With books, the top of the shelves being ornamented with busts, Indian hones and Chinese cabinets and jars. He looked behind all the books opened those within easy reach, rifled the boxes and cabinets and peeped into all the vases. The search was continued half through, the night, but the paper was not found. , He tried to think that it was of no - consequence, but somehow his heart failed him. Early next day he went to the office of Jonas Terry and found him there. Jonas was busy writing, but he lifted his head with a smile, and rote heartily to greet his friend. "Jonas," said Charles, with a puzzled, eager look, "that I. 0: U., I have lost it. Searched everywhere all night for it, and can't lay my hands on,it. "What I. 0. U?' 1 . "The one you gave me for the $10,000 I lent you in June. After you went I sat down to think about Josie Merritt, and when I.was getting sleepy I found it on the table. I was too lazy to unlock my secretary again, and I laid it some- where; Or else I thought I hid it, and left it about, .and the servants swept it away'. How-eter, I will give an acknow- ledgment that will cover all possible claims if ever it should turn up. That will do, you know." "You must be, dreaming, ha.rles. I know nothing about an I. W, U., and 1 don't at all see ;what you are drifting "Jonas! Yott couldnot be such a , scoundrel! You are joking, of coarse." " Mr. Day, I request you to leave my office at once, sir. I am not to be bullied or black -mailed in this way, I assure you.' Then Charles struck the scoundrel, and there was such an -uproar of words and , blows that the police were called in,and the affair became sufficiently public; and indeed went into the courts. Of course Charles got the worst of it every way. He had no particle of evidence to azihow for his claim; he was fast, fashionable and extravagant, while Jonas was uni- versally spoken of as "estimable- and ;reliable." Society turned the cold shoulder towardhim, and mothers for- ebade their daughters to ride in his com- pany or accept him for a partner in the ' dance. "But then," as Mrs. Merritt shrewdly said, " his engagement to our Josie has just become known." ' It was remarkable that after this quarrel Jonas Terry's business grew with amazing rapidity. Perhaps the saving of that $10,000 had been the turn- ing point of his fortune. , We all know how the want of a five dollar. bill can sometimes lose us an amount uniadingly ,disProportionate. Socially, too, his suc- cess was very great He married a beautiful, stylish woman, who fully shared his antipathy for the Days, and who never lost an opportunity of morti- fying them; and social slights are'bitter enough to those whose whole life turns upon social success. In fact, Mr. and Mrs. Jonas Terry, with their grand house and exclusive entertainments and fine turn -out, were the Mordecai sitting In the. gate of all Charles' and Josie's happiness. Many a time the two had gone togeth- er over everything in the room, taking; every book from the shelves, and exam - hied every crevice in the cases, but all ! in vain. The I. 0.. U. was evidently , lost, and Charles said, after every fresh search and disappointment : "No use, Josie; I tell you everything goes against honor and virtue. If you went to be --pointed'out as a pattern of all excellence, ' you must be in 'secret a natural and practical villain." So the years went by—fifteen of them. The I. 0. U. ;was not forgotten. They Jived in a society where people have little else to de but remember the ante- cedents of its members, and Charles Day and his Wife very often felt the iufluence ' of Jonas' accusation. The two men never spoke. 11 they passed each other on the drive, Jonas cracked his whip offensively, or Mrs. Terry looked sdorn- fully at the shrinking couple, but they had lOng ago said all to each other that it was possible to say. '1 the fifteenth summet after the loan 'Charles wentyitchting, and on one mem- orable night was shipwrecked. Almost by a miracle, and efter he had sunk thrice, he y Oki rescaed. The first words be uttered to his wife were: "Josie, I have found the I. 0. U. Write down just what I say: Shakespeare, Knight's - Edition, vol. iv., page 213, fourth com- partment, fourth shelf, fourth book."-_ Josie wrote it down; but he was so restless lest anything should now happen to the library that he returned to New York as soon as there was the least safe- ty in doing so. When he arrived at home he: went straight to the library, and putting his heed on a certain volume, opened it at the page he had indicated, and there was the lost I. 9. U. " When I was drowning, Josie, the last time I sunk, everything I ever did became in a moment's flash clea.r as day to me, and , I saw myself putting the note in the place I found it. It is won- derful. But it is true, aecleJosie dear, thank God ; my name will be cleared at last." The clearing of his name was Charles' first khought, bet after it came tee very satisfactory one of making Jonas pay the principal and interest due him. "And after that is done, Josie, I shell sue him for defamation , of character, and ina.ke him pay for every insolence." This was no idle threat. The next morning Charles' lawyer confronted the false-hearted, scoundrel with his 1. 0. U., and entered proceedings at once to re- cover. jonas.at first tried to compro- mise, but this offer Charles indignantly rejected. "1 want the world to see," he said, " that though punishment for a cowardly; wicked deed be long delayed, it is sure to come." And perhaps the social and commen, cial world in which these two men moved never had a more vivid illustration of this trutR. The business that had been built upon a fraud and a wrong crum- bled away as if touched by some u ither- lug blight. The court awarded Charles Day principal and full interest, and a subsequent action for defamation gave him,—in reparation for his fifteen years' slandered name, $50,000. But by that time the firm of Jonas Terry was unable to meet such a claim. He shut his doors in dishonor, and fled in the darkness of night from the thou- sands whom he had robbed. "It a great punishment," said Josie, sorrowfully; "and he has four little boys." "It was a great crime, Josie; and the 1 wrong to my purse was the the wrong.' But Mrs. Tey, sitting i ed home, took ' a .differeht Case. "Charles Day t is blame," she said. "His his lazineas threw the Jonas' way. It is thee we make the wicked ones Weekly.

A few years ago a society of eminent men in Paris discussed ti T question: " What language would a Ilild natural- ly speak if never taught ?" The devout Catholics were of opinion Ina the He- brew language would be sp leu in these circumstances. One scientist was of opin n that sonne form of the Chinese langua would be the natural tongue. Tv, es ty different results .were predicted. At last it was decided to test the mat- ter, and a committee was , ppointed to carry out the experiment. -Two infants were- procur 1 and put in the charge of a deaf and umb woman who lived in the Alps and ade a living by rearing chickens and te ding sheep. . The woman was given stri t injunctions to allow no one to speak o these chil- dren, and, as her cottage ap some miles distant from any neighbor, the circum- stances surrounding the ex riment were very favorable. Years rolled on, and many of the mem- bers of the society had lost s ght of this interesting experimen t. Some members of theco4n iittee died, and there was great dangei f the results of this wonderful test bein lost to the world. . Fortunately two of the members of the committee kept faithful watch on then case and when the childie 1 were six years old brought them, with their nurse, into a meeting of t e " savants." Every member was on the tiptoe of ex- pectation as to the res It. Not one word could either of the c i;laren utter ; their only form of languag vas a won- derfully good imitation o he crowiug of a cock, or the cackling f a hen or the bleating of , a sheep. 'he prediet- ions of science were totall upset by a practical experiment. • "MardanTwazAe." 1 1 .
