T.IIE STOLEN LOVE -LETTERS.
The young gentleneau looked at Kate
in utter amazement. In fact, he was
14Ir, fleury Crowther himself, and lie
was not aware that he had ever had
any sister, 'Who! was this beautiful
girl claiming so pleasant a kinship with
bio ?
I3nt al 1wst with the announcement
Kate disappeared. He waterbed her
horse brought round, and saw her
mount and ride away,aud then sat down
tt� smokeliu a whirl of curiosity and ex-
eitenleut. What a bright face 1 What
frank, charming manners 1 What a
fettle)! I wish to everything 1 had a
sister—or something nice—like that
girl. I do wonder who she is !' The
next moment he had rung the bell, and
pulled the bell -rope clown.
'Lawks,n1r, Henry, I knew that was
you a-riuglug, which !41r. Archie never
rings that outrageous way. What be
you wanting, sir ?'
I want to know, Martha, who that
young lady is that left tha house twenty
minutes sato.'
'Well you may ash, sir, which to do
shews your good sense. That is Miss
Kate .Leslie, sir—Mr. Archie's cousin
—a very beautiful young lady, sir, and
a good one, and proud is graudfatber
is of her.'
'That is all, Mactba.'
'Very well, sir.'
Wbeu he returned he found Harry
Crowther pacing the room in the great-
est impatience. 'How loug you have
been!' he exclaimed ; 'and here has
been the most beautiful girl waiting for
you ; and, by everything she says she
she is my sister ; and, still fnnnier,abe
did not know that 1 was her brother.'
'What do pale mean, Harry ?'
Just what I say.'
'Oh, this is to bad ! I mast ask Mar-
tha about it. She ought not to per-
mit strangers to come into my rooms.'
(Stop, Archie ; I have asked Martha.
Her nacre was Mies Kate Leslie.'
'My consin Kate. Now what could
have brought her here this wet day ?'
He thought immediately of his inter•
view with Maggie, and of her anxiety
about her letters. 'Poor little girl,' he
said, mentally, •I must not popish her
any longer. 'I will take her het letters
to -morrow.'
So the next afternoon he put on Lis
hat and ooat, and went to the cabinet
for them. Of course they were not
there. For one moment he was con-
founded; the next, his mind had in-
stinctively divined the hand that had
robbed him. He was very angry with
his cousin Kate. He knew at once
that it was altogether her dung- If
M'[aegie bad even dared to try,she would
have screamed in the attempt, and be-
trayed herself.
It was with a very stern face that he
entered the parlor where Kate was sit -
tins, and he would not see the hand
that was held out to him. When they
were alone she asked at once, 'Why
won't you shake hands, Archie ?'
'How can you expect me to, Kate,
take the hand—'
'That robbed me.' Say if you
wish.'
'I was going to say it. Why did you
do it ?'
'Because you were torturing little
Maggie,and I will not have her worried
about a few letters. They were hers,
not yours.'
'I think they were mine.'
'That sbnws a man's honesty in love
matters. The letters were sent to you
under a supposition that you were to
fill a certain relationship to Maggie.
You were found incompetent for that
position. and the favors relating to it
ought to have been returned. A dis-
s: ieeed ambaesad' r might as well keep
the insigne, of his chits.'
'Sit down Bette, and don't put pow -
pelf in a passion. Have I ever done
an unkind thing, to eiiher Maggie nr
yon einco we were children together ?'
'No, Archie, you have not.'
'Do you think I would ?'
'You said term would tell Sir John
things abort Maggie, and that would he
unkind. Maggie loves Sir John very
mnr.11.'
'I would never hurt Maggie. Aa
you r motor, and as -worm consin, let me
eny I think von have behaved in a very
ilnprnper in auuer.'
'Arohio 1'
'Very improper indeed. Yon ought
to have come to rue. I would have'
given you the pnnr dear little lett'rs ;
and as for telling Sir John anything
to nylon iris eyes, I like him for toe
well. The only way to be happy in love
iq to be blied.'
'Yon think that is very satirical I
dare env.'
Nn, I On not. I am waiting for yonr
apology, Kate. 'You know you ought
to (flake me ane.'
'Sate cea with burning ohneke, tap-
pitrg the floor with her foot., and Archie
stood cahnl'v wa'ching ber. A t last
sho. snirl, 'Iron are right, Al'ehir.' Then,
potting, hor hand in hot pocket : ':Here
/tie the lettere. Do what you like with
thein. r trust yon,'
Ho took them tenderly,and throwing
them into the fire, rnourufully,watched
them turn to gray ashes. Kate's eyes
were full of painful tears.
'Archin,' she said, 'forgive nue, I
aoted very impulsively and very im-
prudently. I am embattled of thyself,
There is something else 7 must tell you
about this niiserab`e affair, 1 taw a
gentleman ie your parlor, and I gave
myself a false tame to hills.'
'Oh, Kate sec how one fault leads to
another. If you bad been doing right,
you would not have been ashamed to
confess that you were Date Leslie. Do
you know the mune of the lady whose
name you borrowed ?'
'No, 1 luiow nothing about such a
person.'
'Then I will go with you, and yon
must make an apology to the family.'
'ItInst I do this ?'
'It is right that you should.'
'Very well, Archie, I will do it,'
:Bat this part of her punishment was
long delayed. Tho next morning Kate
was very ill, and a very severe attack of
rheumatic) fever confined hor for weeks
to her roots. 'Thou the fatigue and
excitement consequent on 1!Iaggie's
marriage threw lierback into the inertia
of invalidism,, and the adventure was
almost forgotten in its painful results.
As the worm weather cable ou she
improved, and began to go into society
again. Ono day there was to be a lawn
party at the bishop's, and she promised
to Meet Archie there. She was sitting
resting under a great oak, when ebe
sew ural coaling t')ward her. A gen.
tlewan was with him, whom she ie -
cognized at a glance ; she had intro-
duced herself to him as Miss Crowther.
What was Archie going to do to her ?
She felt almost like Drying ; but she
stood bravely up as they advanced, and
in her white dress, and roses at her
w'iist and throat, she made a lovely
pioture.'
'Good -afternoon, Kate.'
'Cousiu Archie, gaud -afternoon.'
'Kate, this is my fri-nd Mr. Henry
Ore wthe r.'
She blushed violently, but did not
lose her self-posseesiou. '1 have met
Mr. Crowther before. Duce when I way
oft a little private magsuiade, and as-
sumed the character of his sister. I
hope I ant forgiven.'
'If I hada sister she would have
been honored by the assumption. Since
he momentary favor I have never
ceased to regret my want.'
Fur a tew weeks Harry Crowther was
constantly c ming with Archie to call
on the Lesi)es,either on pretext or an-
other. 'Teen he began to come by bun -
self, and to corse without auytpretext
at ale It had been long ;evident
to Archie that Harry and Kate
loved each oth3r very dearly, and at
last the dim eyes of her grandfather
begeu to perceive how matters stood.
'Kitty, he said on night, after wait-
ing patiently through a 'good night'
that lasted an hour and Half—'Kittv,
wby does Harry Crowther corse here so
often ?'
'Because we don't -believe in writiug,
grandfather. Love -letters once nearly
cost me my life ;' and leaning fetidly
ou her grandfather's neck, Kitty told
him the fault of which she had been
guilty, and the pain and shame it bad
caused her.
'Never pays, Kitty, to do evil that
good may cutne ; rile price is ton
high.'
'lou fnrgive me, grandfather ?'
'Yes, Kitty, with all my heart.'
'Harry bas forgiven me too. You see,
after taking bis name in jest, it is right
I make the arneude honourable by taking
iS in earnest, Sr) grandfather, if you
will let me, I am going to be Mrs.
Crowther instead of Miss Crowther.
May Harry asst your consent to -mora
row ?'
'Yes, he my ask me. He has asked
you, I suppose ?'
'Oil, yes.'
'And we are to have a wedding, and
no leve•letters. I never beard of swell
a thiug.'
'A wedding and no love -letters,
grau'tfather. Love -lettere are slow and
old-fashioned, and very dangerous, We
have adopted visits and telegraphs in
their place.'
HOW COFFEE CAME TO BE
USED.
It is erenewhat singular to trace the
manner in which arose tee common
beverage of coffee, withont which few
persons, in any half or fully civilized
country in the world snake breafast. At
the time that Columbus first discover -
e4 America, it was never known Or Us-
ed. 1t only grew in Arabia and Upper
Ethiopia. The diocovery of its nee as
a beverage is ascribed to the Superior
of a rnouaetry in Arabia, who, denirons
of preventing the monks from sleep
inc; at the aroetternal services, rnatlo
them uriitk the infusion of coffee upon
the reports of shepherds, who observed
that their floeke were more lively after
browsing on the fruit of that plant.
fts reputation spread through the adja-
cent actinides, tend in 200 years it
teaehed Paris. A single plaint brought
there in 1714, became the parent stock
of all the Preneh coffee plantatioue iu
the Weet Indies. The Dutch intro-
dttoed it into Java and the East Indies.
The extent of tba consumption can
scarcely be realized.
ADVICE TO CONSUitieTIVES.
Nn man, however uncleanly, wonld
drink muddy water. A party which
003111)lee a roont'for hours,breatbing the
same air, light be compared to a party
of bathers drinking the water in which
they bathe, The patient must keep the
window of his bedroom open. Night
air is fresh air without daylight. In
°lase, crowded roomq, the patient suf-
fering from lung complaints broathes
consumptively. By taking these pre-
caetious and using Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and 1'leasar t Pur-
gative Pellets, fatly one-half of the
cases of lung complaints would. be cur-
ed in six months. For ciughs and ir•
ritation of the lines do not always in•
dicate the presence of consumption al-
though it may result in that;disease,and
if oousmmption has already become
deeply seated in the system, this is the
most efficient course of treatment that
can be pursued Otltsi(10 any inetitnlion
that provides special facilities for the
treatment of this disease. Dr. Pierce's
celebrated Inv hide' IIntel is such an
institution. Seud stamp for pamphlet
containing a complete °treatise Upon
onusnmption, explaining its causes,
nature, and tire best methods of treat-
ing it, together with vainable hints con-
cerning diet, clothing, exeroise,&o., for
consumptives. Address World's Dis-
pensary Medical Association, Buffalo,
N. 'Y.
Ovi of the sights of the City of
Hamilton is the factory in which the
celebrated "Myrtle Navy" tobacco is
made. Some people may suppose that
putting up plugs of tobacco must be a
very simple matter, but a walk arnong
the ponderous and complicated ma
chinery of this establishment would
speedily undeceive them. Here are
hydraulic presses, screw presses, iron
frames, all of enormous strength, be-
sides a steam engine any many other
pieces of machinery.
