In tho inerhlo-floored vestibule of the 'Metropolitan Graml Hotel in Buffalo, Profeeear Stilisot Boomark stood and look- ed about hitn with the maxima manner of a person unused to the gaud oplendor of the modern Amoriou i f lienee 0� entertainment. t. r Tho between l cl half. way ttv the " professor n 0 I paused deor and Isoh ' o be- gan to fear that he hod unlovedi�cautatan inoppor• tune time,—that something unusual was ggoiug on. The hurry and bustle bewildered him. A man with a abontoriau but mon• otenous and mournful voioo was filling the air with the information that a brain was aboutto start for Albany, Saratoga, Troy, Boston, New York and the Last. When he came to the words "The East" his voice dropped to a sad minor key, as if the man despaired of tho fate of those who took their departure In that direction. .Every now and then a brazen gong Bounded sharp- ly, and one of the negroes who eat in a row ori a bench along the mnrble•penelled wall Iaprang forward to the counter, took some- body's handbaganddisappeared in the direc- tion of the elevator, with the nowly.an•ived guest following him, Groupe of mon stood here and there oonvoi:dug, heedless of the rush of arrival and departure around them. All this was very ethane to the professor, ,and he felt himself in a new world, with whose custom ho was not familiar. No- body paid the slightest attention to him as he stood there among it all wibh his satchel in his hand. As he timidly edged up to the counter and tried to acounmlate courage .enough to address the clerk, a young man came forward, flung his grip on the polished top of the counter, metaphorically brushed the professor aside, pulled the bulky regia - ter towards him, and inscribed his 110.1110 on the page with a rapidity equalled only by the illegibility of the result. " Hello, Sam," he said to the clerk. 4! " How's things ? Get my telegram ?" " Yes, ' answered the clerk ; " but Ican't g S I reserved 85 for you, and h 111 far a week. to hold on with my teeth to do that." rThe reply of the young man was merely a brief mention of the place of torment. 1? "It is hot," said the clerk, blandly, "In from Cleveland ?" "Yes. Any letters for me?' "Couple of telegrams. 'You'll find them up in s5." "Oh, you were cook•etre I'd take that zoom?" "1 was cook -euro you'd have to. It is either that or tho fifth floor. We're fall. 'Couldn't give a bettor room to the Preei• dent if he came." "Oh, well, what's good enough for the President I can put up with for a couple of days." The hand of the clerk descended on the bell. The negro sprang forward and took Mi the grip. " Eighty-five,' said the clerk ; r and the drummer and the negro disappear- ,, lt ed. t"Is there any place where I could leave At my bag for a while?" the professor at last ( said timidly to the clerk. ,f „Yourbag?" . I The professor held it up in view. "Oh! your grip. Ceriniely. Have a room, sir?' And the clerk's hand hovered 4 over the bell. No. At least, not just yot. You sec, Z,m--„ "All right. Tho baggage•man there to the loft will check it for you." " Any letters for Bond?" said a man, pushing himself in front of the professor. The clerk pulled a fat bunoh of letters from the compartment marked "B" and handed the whole lot to the enquirer, who went rapidly ovor them, selected two that 0.p. peered to be addressed to him, and gave the bench a push towards the clerk, who placed thein where they ware before. .Although the professor was to a oertatn extent bewildered by the condition of things, there was still in his nature a certain dog- ged persistence that had before now stood him in good stead, and which had enabled him to distance in the long run, much more brilliant men. He was not at all satisfied. with his brief interview with the clerk. He resolved to approach that busy individual again if he could arrest his attention. It was some time before he caught the speak- er's eye, as it were, but when he did so he said,— " I was about to say to you that I am waiting for a friend from New York who may not yet have arrived. His name is Mr. Richard Yates, of the—" " Oh 1 Diok Yates. Certainly. He's here." Turning to the negro he said,— " Go down to the billiard -room and see if Mr, Yates is there. If he is not look for him at the bar." The clerk evidently now Mr. Diolr Yates. Apparently not noticing the look of amaze- ment that had stolen over rho profeosor'e face the clerk said,— "If you wait in the reading room I'll v' send Yates to you when he oomee, The boy will find him if ice's in the house ; but , he may be up•town," I The professor, disliking to trouble the obliging clerk further, did not ask him whore the reading -room was. He inquired instead of a hurrying porter, and received i the curt but oomprehensive answer,— "Dining-roont next floor. Reading., smoking., and writingaooms up the hall. Billiard'roont, bar, and lavatory down - stake." The professor after petting into the barbershop and the ogar•storo, finally •found his way into the reading -room. Numerous daily papers nattered a ers were attered around on the table, each attached to a long olumay cleft arrangomonb of wood, while outer dailies, siinilardy ououmbered, hung from ranks against the wall. The pro• i�' feasor sat down in one of the easy leather• covered ahaira, but, inebead ot taking up a paper, drew a thin book from his pocket, in whioh he was soon so absorbed that he becameenbirely unconscious of his strange surroundings. A light tough on the shoal• der brought him up from hie book into the world again, rn•1 to saw looking down on him the stern face of a heavily -moustached stranger, "8 beg your pardon, sir, but may I ask if you aro n guest of this !louse?" A shade of apprehension (ironed the pro. feseor'e faoe as he Blipped the book into his pocket. Ho had vaguely felt that he wax trespassing when he fleet entered tine hotel, and now his doubts wore ton firmed. "1-1 am not exactly a guest," he stain. i tiered. "' What do on mean b. not oxaotl a guest,"Contin ted the other, regarding bhe r'of'essor with a oold and scrutinizing gaze. "Aman i0 oitheraguest or he is not, I tato it, Whtali is it in your ease?" " I presume, 'toohaioahiy speaking, 8 am Mt." "Technically speaking 1 Moro evasions, Let mo ask you, sir, as an ostensibly honest man, if you imagine that all thio luxury— �rl 1'r1 511 14)1S—t11 if! elegance—is maintained fol' doth. lug?

He hadnothing e • realized L H noGh �o a , IIs b het I 3 i his action was too flagrant toadmit; of L t o fl r dt de• fonoo, so be attempted none. Suddenly the countenance of 1110 questioner lit up with a smile, and he emote the professor on the shoulder. "Well, old stiok•ie-Lhe•muil, you haven't changed a particle in fifteen years. You don't mean to pretend you dont know me ?" "You can't—yon can't be Richard Yates ?" "I not only can; but I can't be anybody else. I know, because I have often tried. Well, well, well, wolf 1 Stilly we used to call you, don't,you remember? 1'11 never forget that time we eau... ' Oft in the etilly night' front of your winow when you wore studying for the exame, You always ware a quiet fellow, Stilly. I've been waiting for you nearly a whole clay. I was up just now with a patty of friends when the boy brought me your card. A little philanthropic gather • ing,—sort of mutual benefit arrangement, you know: oaoh of us contributed what we could spare into a general fund, which was given to some deserving person in the crowd." "Yes," said the profoesor, dryly. " I heard the clerk telling the boy whore he world bo most likely to find you," "Olt, you did, eh?" cried Yates with a laugh. " Yes, Sam generally knows where to send for me ; but he needn't have been so darned public about it. Being a newspaper man, I know what ought to go in print and what should have the blue penoil run through it. Sam is very discreet, as a general thing ; bob than bo knew, of oonrse, the moment bo set eyes on you, that you wore an old pal of mine." Again Yates laughed, a very bright and cheery laugh for so evidently winked a man. " Come along," he said, taking the pro- fessor by the arm. " Wo must get you located. They passed out into the hall and drew up at the clerk's counter. "I say Sam," cried Yates, "can't you do something better for us than the fifth floor! I didn't opine to Buffalo to engage in bal. looning. No sky -parlors for mo, if I can help it." " I'm sorry, Diok," said the clerk, "but I expect the fifth floor will be gone when the Chicago express gots in." " Well, what can you do for us, any. how ?" "I can let you have 518. That's the next room to yours. Really, they're the most comfortable rooms in the house this tveath• or. Fine lookout over the lake. I wouldn't mind having a sight of the Lake myself, if I could leave the desk." "All right. But I didn't come to look at the lake, nor yet at the railroad -tracks this side, nor at Buffalo Creek either, beautiful and romantic as it is, nor to listen to the clanging of the ten thousand loonmotives that pass within hoaxing distance, for the delight of your guests, The fact is, that, always excepting Chicago; Buffalo is more like—for the Professor's sake I'll say Hades than any other place in America." "Oh, Buffalo's all right," said the olork, with that feeling of local loyalty which all Amerioaus possess. "Say, are you here on this Fenian amp ?" "What rental snap?" asked the news- paperman. " Oh ! don't you know aboub it ? I thought the moment I saw you that you wore hero for this affair. Well, don't say I told you, but I can put you on to one of the big gtma if you want the particulars. They say they're going to take Canada. I told 'em that I wouldn't take Canada as a gift, let alone fight for it. I've been there," Yates's newspaper instinct thrilled him as he thought of the possible sensation. Then the light slowly died out of his eyes when he looked at tho professor, who had flushed somewhat' and compressed his lips as he listened to the slighting remarks on his country. " Well, Sam," said the nowapaper.nutn at last, " it isn't more than otos in a life- time that you'll find me give theo-by to a pine of news, but the fact is, I'm on my vaeatior just now• About the first I've had for fifteen years : so you see I mutt take care of it, No, let the Argus get scooped, if it wants to. They'll value my services all the more when I get back. No. 518, I think you said?" The clerk handed over the key, and the professor gave the boy tho check for his valise, at Yates's suggestion. "Now get a hove on you," said Yates to the elevator -boy. "We're going right through with you." And so the two friends wore shot up to. gather to the fifth floor. --- CHAPTER IL The skyparlor, as Yates had termed it, certainly commanded a very extensive vie w. Immediately underneath was a wilderness of roofs. Further along were bho railroad tracks that Yates objected to, and a line of masts and propeller -funnels marked the wiuclinge of Buffalo Crook, along whose banks arose numerous huge elevators, oath marked by some tromeudoue letter of the alphabet done in white paint against the big brown of the building . Stili farther to the west was a more grateful and comforting sight for a hot day. The blue lake, dotted with white sails and an ooca- aional trail of smoke, lay shimmering in the broiling euu. Over the water, through the distant summer haze, there could be seen the dim line of the Canadian shore. "Sit you down," cried Yates, puttin both hands on the other's shoulders and pushing him into a chair near the window. Thenplaoing hie finger on the eleotric but- ton, lie added, "What will you drink ?" "I'll take a gln00 of water, if it can be had without trouble, said Romnark, Yates's hand dropped from the eleobrio button hopolssely to Itis side, and he looked reproachfully at the professor. "Great heavens I" ho cried ; "have something mild, Don't go rashly in for Buffalo water before yon realize what le io made of. Work up to it gradually.

The professor was at once all attention. Touoh a man on hie business and he genes ally responds by being mtereatat. "And what were your theories?" he ask• eel, " Well, I thought a teacher should look after the phyecal as well as tho mental welfare of his pepile. It did not seen to Ino that his duty to those under hie charge ended with mere book -learning." " 1 quite agree with you," said the pro. feeaor, cordially. " Thanks. Well, tho trustees didn't. I joined the boys at their games, hoping my example would have an influence on their oondece on the playground as well as in the eahool•room. We got up a rattling good eriekot•alub. Xou may not remember that I stood rather better at cricket in the acad• emy then I did in mathomabice one grammar. By handicapping me with several poor players and having the best players among the boys in opposition, we made a pretty evenly matched team at school -section No. 12. One day at noon we began a game, The grounds were in 0xaell- ent condition, and the opposition boys were at their best. My aide was getting the worst ot it. I was very much interested, and when one o'clock came I thought ib a pity to call shoot and spoil so good and in - Wresting a contest. The boys were uuani• mouely of the same opinion. The girls were happy picnicking ander the trees. So we played cricket all the afternoon." "I think that was carrying your theory a little too far," said the professor, dubious- ly"Just what the trustees thought when they came to hear of it. So they dismissed me ; and I thick my leaving was the only case on record where the pupils genuinely mourned a teacher's depertnre. I shook the dust of Canada from my feet, and have never regretted it. I trammed to Buffalo, shaking the dust off my feet at every step. Hello 1 here's your drinks at last, Stilly. I had forgotten about them,—an unusual thing with me,—That's all right, boy; charge it to room 513.—Ab 1 that hits the spot on a hot day. Well, where was I? Oh, yes: at Buffalo. I got a plane on a paper hero, at just enough to keep life in inn ; but I liked the work. Then I drifted to Rochester at a bigger salary, afterwards to Albany at a still bigger salary, and of course Albany is only a fav hours from New York, aud that is where all newspaper -mon ultimately drift to, if they are worth their salt. I saw a small 080010n of the war as special correspondent, got hurt, audround- od up in the hospital. Silva thon,although only a reporter, I am about the top of the tree in that lino, and make enough stoney to pay my poker debts and purchase iced drinks to soothe the asperities of the game. When there is anything big going on anywhere in the country, 1 am there, with other fellows to do the drudgery, I writing up the picturesque deserip• tions and interviewing the big men. My stuff goes red-hot over tho tele- graph -wire, and the humble postage• stamp knows my envelopes no more. I ant acquainted with every hotel clerk that amounts to anything from New York to San Franotsoo.

Now you've listened] with your customary patience in order to give my aelf•esteem, as you nal - ed it, full sway. I am grateful. I will reciprocate. How about yourself ?" The professor spoke slowly. "1 have had no such adventurous career," ho began. "1 have nob shaken Canadian dusb from my feet, and have nee made any great sueoo0s.

Discovery or tree rooks of Those Great Celebrities of Antiquity. I wrote you from London, says a Correa• pendent of the Boston Advertiser, of the discovery iniAlexaudira six weeks ago of the tombs of Alexander aud Cleopatra. Hero is the letter sent to Aberdeen wltith describes the remarkable find " The tombs are intent and no doubt as the excavations proceed the tombsofall the Ptolemier will be brought to light. There is no doubt about the matter, as the names of the occupants are one the doors. The doors are of bronze and covered with Greek inscriptions. Hero and there the bronze has corroded, so that with the aid of a magnesium light they could see the marble sarcophagi aud lots of other things in the rooms. Some of the vaults seem to bo Fall of rolls and parohntonts, but this is mato guesswork on the part of the observers. All will be cleared up when the khedive returns from Constantinople, as he istosuperintend the opening of Alexander's and Cleopatra's tombs." Dr. Grant Bey, the writer of the letter, dated Sane 17, goes on to say 1 " Lots of beautiful vases and gold things have been found, and a 111001 beautifully executed stela, in whose tomb they found a crown of gold. My information is at first hand, beoanse I bad a long conversation with the proprietor of the land and the manager of the dogging this afternoon. In the course of digging the Greek gentleman came upon a pit that led down to a series of vaults thirty feet below the surface. Those are the tombs of the Ptolemies and the one exposed to view is that of Cleopatra. The other's have still to bo exoavated, but they are there—only all the passages aro filled with earth. Twenty feot deeper, and only six feet above sea level, is Alexandsl's tomb, all by itself, only there are some chambers near it filled with rolls and parch- ments—in other words, a library of ancient books." A Trusty Guardian. Moro than forty years ago, in eighteen hundred aud fifty-one, I visited a party of friends in the Bendigo goldfields fu Aus• tralia, where I was cordially welcomed. Among the valued possessions of my friends wee an English mastiff which belonged to one of the gentlemen. Tho good understanding between myself and the mastiff appoarad to have become so well established during the evening, that on the next day I left rho claim where my friends were at work, to fetch a kettle of tea from the tent, without the least mis• giving as to my reception by trim.

Ho al- lowed mo to stroke his head, and, so far as I could see, showed no interest in my move• menta as 8 entered the tout and took a drink of the tea. But when I started to leave the tent, with the kettle in my hand, imagine my astonishment when I sow the supposed friend Rex facing me, and show• ing his teeth in a very threatening way. I put down the kettle, seated myself on the edge of the oamp-bed, and spoke to him. He wagged his tail aud looked so friendly that I thought I mast have made a mistake about his intentions. Not at all. The moment I attempted to leave the tont with the Iconic, I had reason to know that Rex's broad grin was no more notion, but, on the contrary, a real sign that he was true to his trust as lie ttndorstood it. I talked to hien again, sot down the kettle, and attempted to leave without it. 8011 Ilex objected. He had his doubts, and determined to give his masters the benefit of them. There was no help for it; I was held prisoner, and could do nothing but sit down aud wait patiently for one of the party to come to my relief.

It Is Safe and Harmless as the Purest Milk. This wonderful Nervine Tonic has only recontly been introduced into this country by the proprietors and manufacturers of the Great South American Nervine 'Lome, and yet its groat value as it curative agent has long been known by a few of the most learned physicians, who have not brought its merits and value to the knowledge of the ubli . general This medicine has completely soly, 1 the problem of the cure of iudi- gestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of the general nervous system. It is. also of the greatest value in the cure of all forms of failing health from whatever cause. It performs this by the great nervine tonic qualities which it possesses, and by its great curative powers upon the digestive organs, the stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy compares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonic as a builder and strength- ener of the life forces of the Tillman body, and as a great renewer of.a broken-down constitution. It is also of more Teal permanent value in the treatment and cure of diseases of the lungs than any consumption eemedy Over used on this continent. It is a marvelous cure for nerv- ousness of females of all ages. Ladies who are approaching the critical. period known as change in life, should not fail to use this great Nervine Tonic, almost constantly, for the space of two or three years, It will carry them safely over the danger. This great strengthener and cura- tive in of inestimable value to the aged and infirm, ilecause its great energizing properties will give them a new hold on life. It will add ten- or fifteen years to the lives of many of those who will use a_half dozers buttlec of the remedy each year. 1T IS A GREAT REMEDY FOR THE CURE Of Nervousness, Nervous Prostration, Nervous Headache, Sick Headache, Female Weakness, Nervous Chills, Paralysis, Nervous Paroxysms and Nervous Choking, Hot Flashes, Palpitation of the Heart, Mental Despondency, Sleeplessness, St. Vitus' Dance, Nervousness of Females, Nervousness of Old Age, Neuralgia, Pains in the Heart, Pains in the Back, Failing Health, Broken Constitution, Debility of Old Age, Indigestion and Dyspepsia, Heartburn and Sour Stomach, Weight and Tenderness in Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Frightful Dreams, Dizziness and Ringing in the Ears Weakness of Extremities and Fainting, Impure and Impoverished Blood, Boils and Carbuncles, Scrofula, Scrofulous Swellings and Ulcers, Consumption of the Lungs, Catarrh of the Lungs, Bronchitis and Chronic Cough, Liver Complaint, Chronic Diarrhoea, Delicate and Scrofulous Children, Summer Complaint of Infants. Ali these and many other complaints cured by this wonderful Nervine Tonic. N tji. ': V US DISEASES. As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individual. Nine -tenths of all the ailments to which the Inman family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired diges- tien. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a, general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied; tinct a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nervus recover. As the nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not con- tain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves.
