But eh had come into he peaceful litthehouse- ho d before the fir t year of marriage had expired, and had et up her Ebenezer and introduced discord there, and had at last fairly worried . t e child into a hatred ot her, under' while her , tender conscience writhed as nder deadly sin, and, between fear and ho ror an the dread of losing her husband's I ve, all things put on a gloom that rapt her into melanchol , and present - when t e great flood lley, as it sometimes did ng ignorantly on a fallen s hung over, the brook's by the sudden torrent, swept away, and seen no body recovered, although nite stood to her mem- family burial -ground on the hiil-side belo I. For all that, the neigh- borly mind, drawing nourishment through the undercurrent of servants, had but one opinion in the matter ; nobody accused Mrs. Mynihyn of takin Gerard& Petersham by the neck and holding her under water, for she couldn't have done it ; but it was gener- ally conceded that Gerard& would 'not have been sitting out there, hidden among the boughs, if she bad been happy at home, and that she would ha e had strength enough to saveherself if eh hsd not been weakened by her sorrow and care, and that maybe— who knew ?—life as so poisoned by her ty- rant that she did not care to preserve it, even if she did' no throw it eway under cover of her chime . But while there was more than one wo thy person *ho had seri- ous thoughts of eating wit Mr. Peter- sham concerning his blindness and his ab- sorption in his studies while the issues of life and death were under his I hands, yet Mrs. Mynshyn's o n peculiar essips Mrs. Grey and Miss Ov rton, the wealthy widow and spinster of th scattered hill town, held up her hands thr gkh elle. ordeal, till talk died away, as all t I As fel' Mr. Pete sham, he on y knew that he had lost his yo4ng wife, nor guessed that she had withered like one under the shadow of the upas. He lad been half buried in his great work on aw. After his first rap- ture of grief he tried to bury himselt in it again, but in valise and one year followed another, and foun4 him only beginning to pay the debt. In- the Esmond year he had procured an amannensis to help him in his work, that he might forget himself—a bent old woman, as itehappened, whose gray hair and pallid face seenied somehow a perpetual reproseh to him, as if it were Gerard& her - t self, through his f ult grown old and sad and laboring. Bu one day the poor crea- ture took herself opt of the way, as if un- able, in her turn, to bear the strain Of the dreary little family, and then he relapsed into his desultory readiog and his morbid memories, with only now and then a fit of the old studying. Yet, after all, to say that Mrs. Mynshyn had made away with the pretty creature, her half -brother's young wife, is strong language. Mrs. Mynshyn do such a thing ? Why, she was the very beat of women ; she had known her catechism from birth, had been on the a )(leas seat before she could toddle, as one might say, and had met with a change so lo g ago that she could not tell whether it w in it, twinkling or otherwise —the only thin about it was that almost everybody wo nw her wished she would meet with an ther To -day she was presi- dent or vice o eve y society in the region of which Mrs Gre or Miss Overton was not presiden or vice, religious and irre- ligious, sendi sl de to the equatoe and parasols to ov Zembla, and procuring wives for miesion ries—although it is but just to Mrs. Myna yn to say that she pan- dered as little ai p 'voltaic to the tastes of the cannibals in pr viding sweet and succu- lent specimens. ell, well, all this is neither here nor t ere ; Mrs. Mynshyn, for all her arrogance, temper, and tyranny, her innuendoes, flinge, and fleet's, had a high standard of duty, and tiever indulged an idea that she did not' reach it ; the poor young wife never had any standard at all, and was was ed down with the flood like the weed tha Mrs. Mynshyn fe t she was. And, with that,. Mrs. Mynahyn h d re- newed her youth and begun her career sav- ing where there had been waste, p tting prim array in place of charming the rder, bringing down the bills, keeping dow the servants, having things " set to ri hts ' be- fore Mr. Petersham was out of be , so that all the maehinery pf the houaehold seemed to go on by a neigid clbck-work, making him excessively coinforta le in all bodily things, and never ceasi g disparaging re- mark concerning the w rthlessness of the preceding regime and the pitiable condition of Mr, Petersham nder i , till, the poison working, he gradua ly an all unconsciously found himself looki g tav rably on the view that he had been isuse , and was like a martyr in still cherishing he Memory of the misuser., , Poor Mr. Peter ham ; he was young at that time—a faul whi h he lived long enough to remedy. He as the possessor t of a comfortable pa rimon , and not being obliged to labor, he consequently had lab-, ored from dawn tillaiusk in his recondite studies in the andient law, so absorbed in them that pale cheek and lustreless eye and fluttering heart had passed unnoticed ; and now, now, had he net had the studies—re- sult in whose pondereue volumes was still incomplete—the lo ,ely house among the hills, with its mem ries, might quite have driven him wild. 11 around him lay the dun backs of the hi Is shutting in the hor- izon, and on the si e of one just below his study window hung the inclosed equare lof the family grave-ya d, where a half dozen grave; unadorned nd dreary, mocked the stinshine and diffused gloom over the whole landscape. Nor, within was any cheerier view ; Mrs, Mynshetn was sitting upright in her chair and snapping her eyes as if the uncanny things saw through every door and told her all that wee going on beyond them —a strange, slim solemn woman, whose yellow face looked,' across the forehead end, down the cheek, like that thin .old-fashioned , sugar gingerbread Which is marked with Deng straight rows of lines—the hierogly- phics on the face of greed, thrift, temper, shrewdness!, and virtue. But the resem- blance coasted ; there was no sweetnees about Mrs. Mynshyn. By impereeptible degrees this, dead -and - alive existence had its ashen effect on Mr. Petersham. When another year had passed he was looking at himself enorsi obesely ; a slow revulsion had been taking eilace in him ; ihstead of seeieg himself as ene mike used, he saw at last the injuries of the wife whom uneuspeotingly he had allowed to ly into death. Fo swept down the y in spring, she, sitt tree whose branch bed, was seized swirled under, an more ; nor was he a little plock of gr ory i the dreary Is BaOyThin this summer? ,Then add a little SOOTTiS EltLSION to his milk three ti es a day. - It is astoniihing how fast he will improve.

A sense of guilt filled him, t 11 its morbid pain ate at his heart ; it seetr ed to him that that heart was too black eve to he cleansed, and the whole world looke as black as his heart. If a child ran alon the way, he wondered why a child was rn ; there was no joy be- side it, and only he grave before it, The sound of laughte was an aching mockery ; familiar. scenes o beauty were empty of every charm to hi , whose whole soul had used to go oht t beauty ; order and hate mony and law ha no place in the universe ; all things were overned by a malignant chance. He coul find no God to fly to for a refuge or a frien ; he was alone, strand- ed, profoundly retched, and would have been glad to die i he had had even enough force te give him If surcease. Something of this state, pe haps, became evident to Mrs. Mynehyn ; or one day she was found in his study turni g over the papers again. "There is enougt of this done," said she, " if one could ms, e head or tail of it, to send to the print r for a beginning. Have another copyist nd get it ready, Arnold." He agreed with' h r, and " As the Kit g seld, so ins it done." " Statuesque a Memnon still," said Miss Furneval, after a glance At the hostess, on the night when ehe was installed at Mr. Petersham's in bedience to his advertise- ment for a copyis " and, like that, has lost the music." Tia n she turned to meet Mr. Petersham comin through the doorway—a man something past thirty, with a face that, had itebeen less pale and melancholy, would have ha a beauty in it like the rugged beauty of the hills—a son of Anak. But what Mies F rneval thought she kept to herself, only her fingers tightening on the back of the hair she grasped, as she bent in silent newer to his salutation, "Entombed. W'th this mummy," she mur- mured to herself s she wene to her room to prepare for tea. "I wonder if she remem- bers when she was the daughter of the Pharoh ? Three housand years old, at the very leaist. How few it makes one's poor littlenumber 1—a d I was feeling so old and sad before." One of the daughters of men," said Mrs. Mynshyn, as she closed the door ; " and, thanks b to praise ! a very plain one ;" and she re eated the remark for Mr. Petereham'e bene b. Was she plain ? Mr. Petersham thought of it a morrient ne t morn ng, as she began to copy the scrap that e had pinned to-. gather for her firs day's worke where her old predecessor of three ears ago had left it. Why; yes ; p obably yet hardly. No ; . _and he remember d Kin Solomon's love, who was dark bat co ely. For if Miss Furneval's Cheek was dar , peculiarly dark, like a deep soft a nburne tan, the steady scarlet underneat its tint was rich as pome granate ; and the eyes—w 11, the long black lashes that almos • rested on the darkehued hollow above the cheek, s she bent over her pen', hid thei starry l' arkness ; for the resit, there was something smooth and sweet io and wh Iesome a out the ace that answered well in lace of e ulpture que outline ; the black h ir drease low on the brow in large rings a (1 Recarni r locks, and a square of black 1 cc always tied over the head and about e chin, w'th its fluffy shadow, in- creased the pictu, erque appearance. " Dark bet co ely," sai Mr. Petersham, " and writes a remark ble hand. Singular how the same occup tion develops the same treit—same num er of heartebeats op nerv- ous movemente, I suppose ; has a trier like 13 thet old woman the last cOpyiet." And just then Miss urneval glanced u ,, and meeting his curio s gaze, smiled a little in spite of herself, a d the smile deepened to a laugh, an iefectio s laugh, end the pen fell from her fingers, nd half an hour afterward when she took it p gain, they were on ex- cellent terms—if he was plain. ' When Miss Fu ne al went out at sunset, the float thing tha t a e saw was that dew - late little graveya d ith its broken fence ' and its low Jeanie s ate 'stones lichened and storm -worn.

If you love ffowers an their care, plant some here, Miss Furneval " said Mr. Petersham. "Make it lese desolate tif you can," • And . with a bow he passed on. Two days afterward a. young silver - stemmed bire tree WAS shaking its leafless boughs in the April weather by the block marked with lerarde.'s name, and a neigh- boring mound had been turned into a bed of deep and dou le violets. After that Mies Furneval we her own gardener, and the rest was done by transplanting in her sun- set stroll., by the aid of knife and trowel, the flower's and bushes that she found and loved. As the May days lengthened, and Mr. Petersham used to see her in the late twilight planting and weeding and watering the tender things, a sense a life, different from tiny he had known for years, touched him ; and when one June morning he looked out and saw tbe spot es mass of azure and crimson and -gold blossoming under her fin- gers, it' seemed as if she had brought the dead to life, and had turned death itself in- to beauty—as if, after all, he might have leen mistake4 in hie dark imaginings, and• ithere were so e joy and use in the world cr that was n t all a hollow travesty. It pleased him t see this young person purmu- ing her own life—going to church, to early and late servipe and prayer -meeting, having now and then' a call from Dr. Gilbert, the old minister, eefreshing her like wine, sing- ing her little hymns by herself. It greei to be like the turning of, a page -in a new book 1 to him every y. I , Meanwhile the copying proceeded much like Penelope' web ; for as Mr. Petersham waked eomew at from his moral lethar y, he was more and more dissatisfied With is work, and undid and did again every day's achievement, and -in the conversatione that naturally ensued, he felt himself, ifor the &it time in years, experiencing the begin- ning of a vital interest in somethieg. In something ? Yee, truly ; not merely in work, not merely in the bloorning of owers, in tbe returning beauty of the c anging mountain pictures, but in OW state' young woman.' Pehaw 1 Mr. Petersham would not whisper the suspicion of such a thought to himself. He, with his jeunesse epuisee ; he, done with life ; he, a pinch of ashes, ready to blow on the winds—what ad he to do with love, With youth, with lorious vitality ? He, Gerarda's murderer 1 He had renounced too mucih not to make further re- nunciation ; but a ishroud of sadnees gath- bred round him anew with the thought, and he saw the simplest object through some- thing forlorn as tears. Yet, deepite hie trouble, there was some Compensation in watching Mies Furneval, and wondering at the secret of her content ; at the unknown burden of her thoughts; at the satisfaction she found in hunting out a poorer person, and giving kind words and companionship when she had nothing else ; at her pleasure in the respect the minister always showed her ; at her enjoyment of the observances of the chureboind the solace they afforded her in this dull and comfortless life ; at all her glad stillness on the communion Sun- days. " You find something to be happy a out every day," he said. " Oh, always something," she replied. " Would you be as happy," he asked, f these poor villagers resented your vie- r " Why, of course not. There—" hi respect and friendship, and the church '5' Or if Dr. Gilbert ceased to give you his -people looked askance on you, .and every- bddy thought you either mad or bad?" "013, no no !" she answered. " What m kes you &ink of such thinge ? Dr. Gil - be t breaks the bread of life to me. And lif here would be bitter without tint re- sp et, I am sinfully proud, Mr. • Peter - in," she added, with a little laugh ; would rather die than be thought ill If it eh of ' I was not thinking of you," he said. One morning, while waiting for the delin- quent houze-maid in the study, having made the little anteroom a perfect cell of 1 co or with vases and flat dishes overflowing in blue and crimson flowers, with elimbing vines and hanging huds over picture and bracket and mirror and mantel, and seeing nothing more to do, Miss Furneval wan- dered a little way up the deft of the hills by the aide of the brook, and toward the old mill, whose nooks, overhanging the water, were always pleasant to her, but, be- fore she reached her destination, was aware of Mr. Petersham leanilog on the rail of the rustic bridge in as melancholy wise as Ham- let with the skull. She turned and crossed to his side. " How empty all this • sunshine seems 1" he exclaimed. " Empty !" she naid. "Ib is crowded and teeming with life and joy." "I see none of it," I "None, in this cryatal atmosphere like the hollow of a vast 'sapphire, with the birds' wings and birds' songs, and the bub- ble 'of the brook, and the breath of the flowers, and the long low valley underneath in all its meleing shadows, and the far, faint hills kissing heaven ! Oh, Mi. Petersham, the world is the same world to one as to an- other ; the trouble lies with you,. Tell me, sir, are you always so sad ?" There was a little silence, and then Mr. Petersham raid, looking straight before him : "If .you had done a great wrong, if you had allowed a soul to die before your eyes, if you were conscious, nevertheless, that your remorse was so diseased and over- wrought that you could only fear for your- self the insanity of melancholia—" "And you a man of sense ! I suppose you mean the wrong was done there ; ' , and she I waved her hand toward the unseen place of graves, the tip of whose silver - birch was shaking round the bend of the hillside. "How could you know what was going on till the result came ? She hasllong ago forgiven you, be sure. If youi had known could you or any mortal power have slanged Mrs.,Mynshyn ?

FOUGHT DEATH SUCJOESSFULLY. PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND Saves a Little Girl's Life. Users of Paine'a Celery Compound never suffer disappointment. The great medicine at all times and under all circumstances brings to all sufferers re. lief and a permanent cure. MaMaxime Marte1,189 Mitcheson Street, Montreal, tells what Paine's Celery Com- pound aocompliehed for his little daughter, whose case was considered an incurable one; he says : " My daughter, now eight years- old, was afflicted with terrible scrofula for nearly six years, and we thought her case an iticurable one. We had several physicians to attend her, and she took medioines of all knds, but she got worse instead of better. Having had our attention drawn to the fact that Paine's Celery Compound wrought cures after other medicines failed, we procured a isupply, and,after a fairnse of the medicine, we can report that the disease ie ovecome, and we trust has disappeared forever. Our little girl is now bright, strong and health,y, sleeps and eats well, and her blood is now as pure as it can possibly be. I have great pleasure in recommending Paine'e Celery Compound aa a cure for ecrofula and blood diseases ; it is the best medicine in the woedd." • How to Boil Money. A well-known chemical expert in Engiand recently boiled a sixpence and watched it diesolve and pass away in the form of vapor, just as anyone might do with a pot of water. While he was doing it he declared that any substance on earth ight be boiled and made to become vapor, if only_ you had heat great enough to do it, not excepting granite rook. In boiling the sixpence it *as cut up into small pieces, which were pia° d in the hol- low carbon of an electric arc 1 mei. Anyone who has examined the disear ed carbons of ; an aro la.np will have notice that one of ' the carbons is always poin ed, while the other carbon has a small cupl ke hole in the end. When a lamp is lighted the carbons stand one above the other, the sharp point of the one carbon fitting into the " cup" of the other. It was in this little cup that the sixpence was boiled. Probably it was the smallest pot and the hottest fire in the world. He placed the pieces of the coin in the hollow end of the one carbon and 'fixed the other pointed carbon down ageinst them. Then he turned on the electric ciar- arenrnHtite. gie lan'ern, so that the whole thieg hed arranged his apparatus in front of could be seen on a large white screen. The carbons, the coin, and, in fact, everything could be viewed plainly. Of course, the electric current Fleeing between the carboes made them very hot, and the cup soon be- came filled with a white heat, It was woe- derful id see how quickly the silver melted and simmered, and finally boiled. • Fact, Fancy and Fable Have convinced people that Putman's Pain's less Corn Extractor should be given the preference.

For many weeks -a most infamous cam- ', pion was kept up in the ceiumns of L'Echo- de Paris, Le Petit Journal,: Le Gauloie, -and L'Intransigeent against Dr lyfus. So varied in character and so ingeni us in conception were these libellous tales t at it became im- possible dor the friends o the condemned man to make an adequate defence. Drey- file's counsel, Maitre De ange, heard the stories, and could do nothi g. The verdict of the court marteal closed the door to legat redrese. The devoted wi e of Dreyfus .at first attempted to reply to them in Le- Fi- garo. Parisians laughed t her naivete. She was not tbe only deceived wife in the world, they said. At leng h, wearied of the/ unequal combat—one wom n against a horde of anti-Semitic vilifiers she gave to the world a volume of letter written by her husband to herself.
