Cassinove was about to reply, but was interrupted by the hasty and agitated arrival of the family physician, and the return of the footman accompanied by the Bow street officers, The circumstances of the discovery of the dreadful tragedy were required and detailed. The butler being the spokes- man of the asenibled household, related that they had been roused from their sleep by cries of murder that iwere soon smothered and drowned; that they had hurried in alarm to Sir Vincent's cham- ber, whence the cries proceeded, and where they found their master wounded and dying, yet clutching with his dying hand the collar of Ferdinand Ceetemove, who stood over him, reeking dager 1n hand, and accusing with his dying lips the same Ferdinand Cassinove of his murder. The coroner wa schen summoned and, accompanied by two magistrates, he hastened to the scene of the tragedy. Af- ter the most careful investigation of the circumstances, and a thorough sifting of the evidence, they brought in their ver- dict: "Sir Vincent Lester came to his death on the morning of the first of October,betweentwoand three debted to your self-possession, fore- thought and activity in the present dis- tressing crisis. You have thought , of everything that was forgotten and done everything that was neglected by others.' "I have done only what I felt con- strained to do under the circumstances, and if there is anything else in which I can be of use, I hope you will let me know." "Certainly, Miss Elmer; you are ex- ceedingly kind and disinterested in the assistance you have given this afflicted family, especj[aaly When your pijivate griefs and anxieties must have pressed heavily upon your mind and heart," said the doctor, kindly. At this first word of sympathy Laura's fine eyes filled with tears. "You do not believe Ferdinand Cassi- nove to be guilty?" she said. "No, no, on my soul and honor, no; I have observed the young man ever since he has been in the family; it is impossible he could have been guilty of such a crime." "The Lord in heaven bless you for these wprds. n tion. `[imvy remained eonsultitlg with, encouraging; and comforting the young man until the hour arrived at which the prison doors were to be closed for the night, and then, with the promise to send an eminout lawyer to see the pia, senor in the morning, and to visit him every day, the good doctor took leave, and brought Miss Elmer away. And in another hour he set her down at Daisy Cottage, flay Lane, Chelsea, CHAPTER XXVI. The sun was setting when Laura El- mer alighted from the doctor's carriage, bade hila good afternoon, and entered the little gate leading up a shaded walk to the door of Laburnum cottage, at tate head of Hay lane, where Mrs. Russell kept her little shop, and let her neat lodgings. Miss Elmer did not know whether Mrs. Russell had as yet heard of the trag- edy at Lester House, and its calamitous nomseequences to their nisilual friend„ and she almost dreaded to meet tate land- lady. But the moment Mrs. Russell opened the door in answer to her knock, Miss Elmer saw that she knew the worst. The poor little woman's eyes were red and swollen with teats, and her first words were: "Oh, Miss Elmer! Oh, Miss Elmer, what shall I do?" "Trust in God and do all that we can," replied Laura, in a low voice, as she pressed the hand that was held out to her. "Oh, you say that, Miss Elmer, but you do not know all the poor young gentlemen was to me and my children, or you could not speak so calmly. lie was almost our only friend; he would, and, indeed, he did, divide his last•sover- eign with us. I loved him like a bro- ther," exclaimed the poor woman, speak- ing of Cassinove in the past sense, as one already dead. "But hope is left yet," said Laura. "I one respect at least, he is eccentric in the ameasineseaeseeetee 'hW Baby Said "Goo,' A woman, carrying a baby in her arms, boarded a car at Colfax and Woad - way the other day and took a teat m the front end. When the conductor rano for her fare the woman put a nickel in the baby's hand and said "Dive it to do conductor, sweetness." The baby said "Goo!" and waved its arms, "Hand do conductor de money, peaches," said the woman, Another "Goo" from the baby. 'Baby is a had child," said the woman. "Dive de conductor de nickel." The conductor was becoming slightly exasperated. "Goo, Goo," said the baby. The woman caught the baby's wrist and the conductor held out his hand for the fare. "Goo," said the baby. Then the nickel fell to the floor, The woman picked it up again and put it in the baby's band again, This time the baby waved its arms and then put the nickel in its mouth. "Fare," please," said the conductor. The woman tried to get the nickel, but •ear BETTER THAN SPANKING. Spanking does not cure children of bed- wetting.

(Scotch American,) It is told of a Jura Highlander who bad been drafted into the Glasgow po- lice force, and had got his instructions about not allowing people to obsbruet the thoroughfare, that he accosted a knot of young men, who had gathered on the pavement, with the words, 'my lads, if you'll be going to stand here you'll have to be moving on." The young men began to chaff him, and very speedily roused his temper. He repeated his warning in sterner tones. "But why?" demanded one of the young men. "Isn't this a free country?"
