" MY BROTHER'S WIFE."
BY totatturrrit STA.NLBY.
When I arose on tha morning of my twen-
tieth birthday, and nodded merrily te my
own reflection in the glass, the bright young
face that laughed back at me WIIS that df a
handsome, happy and very fortunate girl.
"Good morning, MissLydia Searle," I
said. And if ell goes well with us, you
won't be Miss Lydia Searle at all this time
next year, but Mra. Harry Hatton instead."
It wanted but three weeks of my wedding
-
day. I was happy as I was buy just then,
for I loved the man whose bride I was so
woo to become with all a young girl's warm,
untried affection.
"Better than any one in the world but
Tom," I thought. "And surely nobody
ever could or ought to be dearer to me than
Tom."
Tom was my twin brother. The usual
strong affection existing betwee twins was
exceptionally powerful in our case -from
circumstances.
One of us was born strong nd robust,
and the other frail and small. Notwith-
standing my sex, I was the favored one
by nature, while Tom was the weakly
twin.
That was the first of his misfortunes,
which naturally gave him -a claim on me,
and at the same time attached him to me
and made him cling to me as a heartier,
manlier boy would not have done. The
second misfortune was that he resembled
our father.
Poor fellow ! As if he could help that!
And yet Uncle Elliott resented it in him
just as if he had been to blame for it. "Not
a cant of my money shall go to this second
Tom Searle," he used to say.
And he kept his word. He had adopted
us at poor mother's death. Our father lied
died years before. He gave us both a good
education, and got Tom a position in a
bank; but when he died -just a year before
that twentieth birthday of mine -I was his
sole heiress.
It grieved me terribly. I loved Tom
better far than myself, and would have
shared anything with him; but he w os
proud, poor dear, and wouldn't hear of such
a thing.
SO the best I could do was to spend as
much money upon him as possible, and lend
him all he wanted to use, He had no ob-
jection to that, bemuse, he would say :-
"Some of these days, when I'm partner
in the bank, I'll pay it all back again,
Lydcly."
And, of course it was quite probable that
some day he would be partner, Since I was
about to be married to the banker's only son
and heir.
I was puzzled sometimes to know what
Tom did with so much money. He had
" apeculations on hand " he told me. I
thought that, perhaps he was rather extra
agent, too -perhaps somewhat inclined to
be wild. -
"11. is so young and so handsome," I
thought.
I was eilways making excuses fer him to
myself; but, of course, common sense taught
me that ii he would be steadier, and attend
to business better, bier chances of promotion
at the bank would be improved.
As I thought of him on that birthday
morning -of course, it eras his birthday, too
-the face in the glass ceased to imile, and a
new anxiety crept into my thoughts. I was
thinking of last night. Tom had acted very
strangely. I had lain awake a long time
thinking of it last night, and a vague uneas-
iness smote me as I remembered it now.
What could have ailed him?
He had come in, at about ten o'clock, to
the little parlor where Harry and I were
sitting together, and had remained with us,
restleges agitated, nervous, and showing so
plainly that he wished to see me alone that
presently Harry, half -vexed, half -amused,
took the hint and left us. And then he
asked me for money.
No trifling sum, either, He implored me,
almost wildly, to "give him three thoneand
then and there, for God's sake I"
He almost took my breath away. I had
no such sum of money in the house,of course,
nor could I get it on short notice. My for-
tune consisted of real estate, from which I
derived a moderate income, and a few thou -
sends in ready money, which, what with
Tom's extravagance and my own prepara-
tion for my marriage, were nearly gone.
Quite aghast at his agitation. as well as
at his request, I explained to him the utter
impossibility of compliance. He said not a
word, but dropped into a seat, and sat look-
ing at me as if stupefied.
Every vestige of color had gone from his
fair, handaome faoe, and the delicate, clear
cut features looked haggard and careworn.
A pang shot through my heart as I saw
his distress. I ceased to care or wonder
what the money was wanted for. I knelt
down beside him.
"I'll get it for you to -morrow," I said,
"1! I have to mortgage my property. Don't
despair; only wait till to -morrow, dear."
As my hand touched hie he started and
looked down at me. He was never very
strong or brave --never fit to battle with
trouble. It seemed to have crushed him
now; tears fell from his eyes upon my face.
"Never mind," he moaned. "Poor
Lyddy ! Poor girl!" he patted my hand
fondly. " I know you'd give it to me if
you could. Ah, I've been a bad brother to
you, dear. Say you forgive me to -night !"
And of °ours() 1 mud so -said so weeping.
His manner distressed me so ; but I didn't
know what there was to forgive.
I was wiser before that birthday was half
over, though the knowledge seemed the
greeted calamity of my life.
"Something had gone wrong at the bank,"
Harry told me. He broke the bitter newt
to me as gently as he could, and with a
grave, pale face. "Three thousand dollars,
which, hadlbeen entrusted to Tom to deliver
somewhere several weeks ago, had not been
accounted for; and -there were errors, too,
In his accounts-"
I heard no more. Insensibility snatched°
me for a while from the agony of Tons's
ruin and my own disgrace.
For must not his sister share his dishonor?
I felt that bitterly at first -I who had been
so proud of hine. But by and by, indigna-
tion, shame, anger, all gave place to love
and love's anxiety. Tom WU missing.
Whet mattered it to me that he had
grinned? He was still my brother, and I
loved him. My thoughts flew back te the
cleepair that night -his tears, his self-re-
proach, his prayer for my forgiveness. I
remembered how weak he was, how easily
led,and who could tell how greatly tempted,
and from my soul I forgave him.
I had not waited for that, however, be-
fore taking steps to shield him from the
consequence of his crime. Mr. Hatton was
merciful. He had no wish to bring public
disgrace upon the family of his old friend -
upon the girl whom his own son was en-
gaged.te marry. I was permitted to make
up the deficit in the bank's accounts. In
order to do so, and for another reason, I in-
structed my lawyer to dispose of my prop-
erty. And that other reason was a letter
from Tom received just one week from his
departure.
A pitiful letter -the outcry of a penitent
and almost broken heart. He had not ap-
propriated the three thousand dollars, thank
God but he had been out and drinking,
with the money in hie possession, and had
been robbed of it.
Oh, how grateful I was. Every other
misfortune in the world might be borne
with patience now, sinoe Tom was not dis-
honest.
He confessed to me a thousand indiscre-
tions, follies, sine; told me of many and
serious debts that he had left behind him.
Most startling of all, he told me he was
married, and implored me to seek, out and
protect his wife and child.
Tom's wife and child! Who was she?

iVoodbury, New Jersey, U. 5. A.
After the first surprise was over, I found
myself longing to see my new sister and the
little one.
I went to the address Tom had sent me;
went with a carriage prepared to bring my
new relations home. Disappointment met
me. Mrs. Searle and her child had gone.
"They were behind with their board,"
said the landlady, "and the husband went
away, so I- couldtet keep her. She left
to -day."
I returned home discouraged. I didn't
want to see or speak to any one just then,
so it Vas peculiarly annoying to find that a
young woman, whom I had employed to do
sewing more than a year ago, had called
and was waiting to see me.
I went down to her. She arose to meet
me as I entered the parlor. Little Eva
Robinson! I remembered the girl well -a
pretty, gentle, timid creature.
I started when I saw that she had an in-
fant in her arms.
" Why, what's this ? "1 cried.
"My baby," she said, timidly. "I'm
married since I B&W you last, Mise."
I sat down, and bade her do the same,
and then asked har what I could do to serve
her.
For all answer she burst into a passion of
tears and, rising suddenly, e.ame and laid
the infant in my lap.
" Have mercy on me ! " she cried, falling
on her knees. "Thi. is your brother's
child and mine, and I -I am his wife."
I was a proud girl, and this blow was a
heavy one. My brother, so handsome such
a favorite, eo unfit to fight for wife and
child, he might have married so advan-
tageously, I thought, and here I was called
upon to welcome as a sister my own sewing
girl.
But I did. I may have shrunk from her
for an instant, perhaps in the first surprise,
but next minute the ;bought of that other
disgrace, which Tom had not brought on
himself and me, returned to me, and in my
gratitude at escaping that I could not mur-
rain'.
She was a dear little thing, too, after all ;
and the baby charming. Ah! 1 had reason
to be thenktul for the comfort of her pres-
ence soon. For the very next day, meeting
an acquaintance on the street, said .he:
"And so I hear that your marriage is
postponed, my dear."
My heart sank down like lead.
"Who informed you ? " I asked quietly.
"Your intended bridegroom, Mr. Harry
Hatton,himself. Is it not true."
" Perfectly true," I answered.
"And postponed until when ? "
"Indefinitely."
I wrote the lame day to Harry:
"You desire your freedom ; take it. You will
never be called upon to fulfil your engagement
with me."
And he took me at my word.
He called, certainly, and made a prletence
of explanation and regret. The almost
entire loss of my fortune had influenced his
father, not himself e_but my brother's con-
duet-
" Toni was innocent," I said; "and what
he lost I have restored. You have aoknow-
ledged that there was nothing wrong in his
aocounts. You need seek no excuse in hie
conduct, sir."
He lost his temper.
" Do you excuse his destruction of an
innocent girl, and abandonment of her and
her child ? " he said.
With one quick movement I threw open
the folding doors, and showed him Eva and
her son.
"Allow me to introduce you to my
brother's wife and child whom he left in
my protection."
But hie words had made me uneasy. That
evening, seated with the baby on my lap, I
asked Eva where she had married.
" Alas! ", she cried, "if I only knew.
Tom took me. to church in a carriage. It
was in this very oity, but I don't know
where. It was because I had no certificate
of my marriage that I dared not go to my
brother -my dear, noble brother -who had
struggled so hard, and made himself, un-
aided, an honorable poeition and a name. I
know that a cruel slander concerning me
hasbeen carried to him that must almost
have broken his heart."
I took her hands away from her faze) and
kissed her.
"We'll find the church," I said. "There
must be no slander about my dear brother's
wife."
And I did find it after a fe* days' search.
Then I got John Robinson's address -he
was a lawyer, I found -and requested him
to call on me.
He oame, a wonderfully grave, handsome
man, with something singularly manly and
impressive about him. In my heart I
thought:
"No wonder Eva wept at the thought of
his displeasure. He is worth pleasing,
Barely.'
I took him to the parlor.
"1 wish to reconcile you -to your sister,"
I said. "She is my brother's wife."
Then I left them together. After an hour
or more Eva came for me.
"John wb.nts to say good-bye before he
goes," amid she.
He took my hand in his and looked into
my eyes.
"You are a good woman," he said,
earnestly. "May God bless you and make
you as truly happy as you have to -day
made me!"
There was something in his mere look and
tone -a strength, a truth, a thorough relia-
bility -that gave one comfort somehow. I
found myself thinking:
"If it had been my fate to love such a
man as that I should be nearer happiness
than I am to -day,"
But I kept my thoughts to myself. Only
from that hour I was sensible that I re-
gretted my lost hopes and happiness for
their own sake, far more than I mourned,
for the false lover on whom they had been
founded.
One 'week later all my property was sold.
Pitcher's Castoria
I had paid off Tom's debts, and accompanied
by hie wife and child, joined him in a
Western home.
There we began life anew. I had a small
income still, and Tom obtained a luorative
position. The lesson of the past had not
been lost upon him. The sacrifice I had
made was not in vain. Dear Tom was a
changed man -changed for the better.
Whatever I had lost had been hie gain.
And . what had I bit? The money I
counted less than nothing; and Harry Hat -
ton's love wes not worth s regret. What
was it, then? I sighed for the trust be-
trayed -the glamour and illusion gone from
life so early.
"Oh, to be well and truly loved ! " I
thought. And then -my thoughts never
went back to Harry.
Another filled them. Strange impression
that man had made Upon me; seen only
once; never to be forgotten. I thought of
him constantly; and heard from him,
through Eva, now and then.
" What Is your brother's wife like, Eva ?"
I asked her once, just to try her.
" tie has none,' she answered. "1 know
what I should wish her to be like, though."
And her eyes dwelt on me in a way that
made my tell-tale color rise.
A few days afterwards she came to me
laughing.
"1 told John of your question, and only
hear what he says." She read aloud:
"Tell Lydia my wife (my wife that is to be I hope)
resides in your city. I hope to visit you before very
long, and introduce you to her."
And he did. With the merry Christmas
season John came. I think that was the
very happiest season of my life. Of course
you guess how it all ended. I mile now,
lookiog back and remembering that I fancied
once I. loved another than John. ..That was
a dream, but this was a reality. All my
sacrifices have been well repaid, and all my
loss was gain ; 1 _realize that every time I
hear pretty Eva speak of me -as I spoke of
her -as " my brother's wife."

"Poor girl," she said. "She muet lead

"Is he unkind to her ?" asked the little

thing but order when I presented it for In-

instead of proceeding to file the saw he gave
them to me and said: "You are pretty

at sharpening. "I don't know how to file

you will never be able to tell until you try,

leaving me with the tools,which I concluded
to use. .
I set the saw first, and if the blade had
been as hard in temper as many I have seen
since, possibly I would have had to re -tooth
it ; as it was the teeth were reduced in
thickness as well as turned pretty well out
on the sides of the saw. After setting, the
- tought came that the fiat file was to be
used to joint, so it was used vigor ugly,
though with no thought as to whether saw
would work best with a full or hollow ront;
my recollection is that one was rather On the
hollow, if not "holier," which it certainly
did when I got at it with the other file,
which was pressed well down and pushed
and pulled (when the handle did not.come
off) several timed across each notch in the
saw, the side filed first getting the mot, so
when the saw was turned but little was re-
quired to bring the teeth to a point. 1
Useful Receipts.
For Chilblains -Bathe the feet or hands
in very hot water, then rub themwith
spirits of turpentine, away from a lighted
candle or fire; afterwards wrap them in
flannel; three night's application will ours
the worst chilblains.
Never Kneel on the cold stones to scrub
without s mst under the knees, and thus
avoid white swelling or rheumatism.
For Rheumatism -Wear flannel next the
skin, sleep in blankets, and take half
a glass of lemon juice after getting into
bed. Continue the lemon juice for nine
nights.
If stung by Wasp or Bee drop on pweet
oil; there is seldom pain afterward,'; or
cover the skin with damp salt.
.For Toothache (Decayed Teeth) -Put a
tiny bit of alum in the mouth, keep it there
without swallowin&for two minutes, let the
saliva run from the mouth, then Hui the
mouth with warm water.
Wet Baking Soda applied immediately to
a burn or scald will relieve the pain.
Bleeding at the Nose -Press firmly upon
the gum just under the upper Hp, and apply
ice water to the bridge of the nose.
A Simple Remedy for indigestion isa cup-
ful of freshly boiled water to be sipped ae
hot as possible.
For a Sprain -Keep the injured limb per-
fectly quiet and raised. Let the patient lie
down rather' than stand or sit. The cold.
water treatment is exoellent to keep down
inflammation. Afterwards use tincture of
arnica or a poultice of arnica flowere. ,
To Purify a Room -Set a pitcher of Water
in the apartment and in e. few hours it will
have absorbed nearly all the respired gases
in the room, the air of which will have be-
come purer,but the water utterly filthy. The
colder the water the greater the capacity to
contsin these gem. At the ordinary tem-
perature a pail of water will abtorb a pint
of carbonic acid gas and several pints of am-
monia. The capacity is nearly doubled by
reducing the water to the temperature of
ice. Hence the water kept in a room I for a
while is anfit for use.
