How‘cfiy’iv'mtue's Manhood Was Crowned. 5 Athei; Bruce sat on a low rocker in the re- “ case oLths bay windows, apparently in deep thought. A very picture she made, 5' so her brother Hal thong t as he (1 along ihe street in company with Clay \Vhittlc. Ivics were creepin above and around her head rcaohhig‘after t osunlight, while lilies, germinate not hyacinths were blooming at er fest;l ; - The gentleman passed on, as also did the hands of this clock, but still Ethel sat in ev- ident study. The room was furnished with cultured taste, and skillful hands kept it lookin very inviting to the family, and their riends. It was library, and sitting room combined. Ethel's parents had al- ways striVen to have their home attractive, even if tither expenses had to be curtailed c osely. he mother was an invalid and had been for several weeks, and the willing hands and thoughtful "heart of mother were sadly missed, by.,the dau hter. The rest of the family said “that thel took mother’s place to them all so well, that for the time they were not great losers," and the mother con- fined to her room for lack of strength to be elsewhere, rather than from actual pain said “ that she was having a rest in mind and body, for Ethel did not neglect anything " and the-kept the little mother fresh and dsiuty,‘ and the room so bright and cheery, that all the family would gather around her in social glee. Ethel would first notice poor mother's tired look if they stayed so long, and pleas- antly chiding them would drive them 05 to the sitting room. Clay Whittle used often to come in with Hal to the mother’s room, and these little visits were seasons of delight , him. His mother had passed the portals over into the other side. How he missed her room and her counsel, and the time spent over at the Bruccs, were choice min- utes and great helps to him. His father was a leading politician, his sister a fashionable woman, while he himself was a law student. The evening before Clay and Ethel had attended an entertainment together and on ) passing out from it, she stopped a moment " f to speak to a friend and Clay Wired by ‘ his sister. , A ‘ " Glynis asked “ why didn’t you bring ' 9' s-ilfvi'Drayton this evening." “I prefer the company I have." he an- swered. “ Company good enough I dare say, but I like to see a girl with some style in dress. Everything she wears is a year old." ‘ "Which of itself is a crime of the first degree in the fashionable world,” he an- . swered; joined Ethel and passed on. Soon this the following morning, Ethel v was trying to study out some plans for new clothes. Of course she was indignant over the remark, but it was true that all she had, was a year old, but she had felt that they were good enough, until now. She know too, that all they had to live upon was her father's salary, which might have seemed large to many, but their expenses were cor- respondingly large, and with mother’s sick- ness and Tom's college bills, or a part of them, somebody had to economize and real- .-. ly dony themselves, and she had felt will- r ing, and even anxious, to do her share; I but after overbearing the remark of the 5 night before, denying herself had not been I so sweet. She examined the closets to see if there was anything available to be made over, but returned to her low rocker disheartened. Her father came in, and seeing something amiss, asked, “ What are your thoughts like, daughter, and what are your wishes? Speak, and if half of the kingdom is desired, it shall be yours I" “I thought 1 was queen of thc realm, and mistress of all I survey. I desire no more than the home kingdom, with a robe of royal purple." "Or some other fashionable shade," he said. “Frankly, Ethel, what were you thinking about!‘ "I was wonderin if there was any sur- plus money in the sinin treasury, that I could use for myself," she said. “I think about forty dollars. “'ould it help on i" ‘ \os, indeed. Just the suui I want." The father seemed to hesitate. Ethel spoke quickl , " I do not want lt if it ll needed elsewhere." ‘ I “ I'll let you know at tea-time," he said.

Hal and his father walked down town that evening and met Eve. and Clay. Hal never could keep a secret very well, and he told his father what Mrs. Stratton had said to her brother the evening before. " I wish I had the money for her,’ said Mr. Bruce, “butI cannot get it without breaking a rule of ours to which we have al- ways strictly adhered. She says ‘ she will wait until she writes her novel.’ " “ Perhaps it is written,” said Hal. “ What do you‘ mean 2“ asked his father. “Ethel has a drawer pretty well filled with manuscripts, many of them nicely copied all ready for the pressâ€"short stories and longer ones, and bits of poetry, etc." “ Drawer locked 'l” the father asked. “ No, it is the left hand blind one.” Late that ni ht Mr. Bruce sat up reading his daughter's itersry work. On entering his office next morning the senior member of his firm entrusted him with some important business to go to the city to transact, saying, ” It will probably detain you several days.” That night he started on his journey and in one side of his valiso were a number of Ethcl's manuscripts. Heriwork struck him as remarkably good, but " I am not an unbiased judge,” he said of himself. \Vhen his business for the house was well under way, he visited some editorial friends and told his errand. “ Has she ever had anything published 2" was asked. “Not to my knowledge. She was very at she feared she never could offer any of her pet pieces for publication, for she felt as if she could not bear a refusal. not sure that I am treating her fairly, for she does not dream of these being in my possession." " I think your daughter has considerable talent. In fact some of her pieces are ye y fine while others we will outu‘pfil'merci. fully.

Bruce slowly but surely grew worse and Ethel hovered over her forgetting everything in her anxiety about her. A Mrs. Clay \Vhittlc made his morning call in the sick room regularly, and just as regularly would ride out with Miss ltva Drayton. The days came when Mrs. Bruce was a1- armingly worse, and telegram after telegram was sent to the husband without avail. Hal, Ethel and Clay watched and waited, joined by Tom in their uncensing vi vils. “ If only my husband won d come I" Mrs. Bruce would say, while the hearts of the others echoed the wish with great earnest [1038. Night came on, and Cla said, “If Mr. Bruce is not here at nine o’c ask, I will start after him at ten. certain point and communication is not to be depended upon," and kneeling at Mrs Bruce’s bedside he said, “ 1 may never see you again my friend on earth : can I not have your blessings em I go, and consent to my asking Ethel to be my answer now unless she wishes but if she can love me, will you bless us 2" The wires are out at a wife. She need not “I know not Ethel‘s heart, settle it be- twcon yourselves my children,” and after waiting for Ethel to join them if she would, although she did not, the mother with her hands on tho bowed head, pronounced a silent blessing upon him, and an audible amen. IamP Mrs. Strattou, and I think it good. It gave me a high opinion of the author. Am sure it never emanated from the brains of a butterfly." “ Read it for as, Professor,” said Clay, "if it is not too long." r “Have you read it, Ethel 3“ asked Pro- fessor French. "No," she answered; "I have not had time or inclination to look at the last number. Mother has taken every moment and absorbed every thought until within a few days, and since then I have slept when I could. “'onld enjoy hearing you read it," she said. “You told me once, I believe, that you are not fond of reading, Ethel," said Mrs. Stratton. She looked up pmled. “I think you must have misunderstood Ethel," said Professor Enrich. “ She reads a good deal, but not everything. She was one of my pupils that adopted a course of rcadingâ€"" “ And still adheres to it," she answered quietly. The Professor and Ethel had long been warm friends, and Clay was really afraid someiimes it might prove to be some'hing more. He blessed him in his heart tonight for speaking of the tableaux. He felt that in some way Ethel did not favour him alto- gether, and it flashed throu h his mind that hsps she knew nothing a ct them as she ad been confined closely at home and noth- ing had been said of them in her presence or of the absence of his brother~in-law, which made it necessary for him to stay at his sister’s house, and thus he was subject in many ways to her orders. Her will was a strong one, and it was often easier to acquiese than to oppose her. He felt sometimes that she had planned the tableaux on purpose to bring him in Eva's company. She was wary enough not to pre- tend to do so. But for the reading, Professor French's voice was a wondrous clear one, and words dropping from his lips always sounded music- ally. A better one could not have been chosen to do an article justice. Ethel drew an ottoman up to her father’s side and sat down. He held one of her hands firmly in his, while the reading progressed. She never dreamed of hearing, her own pro- duction. \Vhen she sat down, the father felt her tremble and saw the lips pale while she listened breathlessly to every word. Just as it was finished Hal rising said ” Please excuse sister. Mother sent me after her sometime a o,’ and slipping her arm through his, bore or away but not far before she sank fainting at his side. He carried her to her own room and when she revived a little he said, “Praise enough to turn your head, and no one but her father and your brother knows you deserve it I Shall I tell them 2" ‘ ‘Nu indeed not for the world." "Shall I ask them to excuse you for the rest of the evening. It is most over, and father can attent to them.” i “ Yes you dear thoughtful brother, I need rest,” she answered. She did go down to the parlour again however and heard Prof. French say “ that be accused one of his pupils for writing the article,” whereupon the rest laughed at his conceit. Clay noticed him watching Ethel, and promised himself that not another day should pass without knowing if Ethel loved him. If she did not, he felt the future Would he a weary wasteâ€"that his would be a crippled manhhood and a one sided life. Ethel was the one thing he needed tomake his life a crfect unit and develop his character into what God created him to be. His morning call was on Ethel and he to] her of his whole heart's loverscd-ggfi’ed her if shg coult.l l: his; wife. "L’Some things are now explained which I did not before understand. Your sister does not like me, but I ho o slio will when she knows me better, and am sure my heart‘s love is yours.” “Thank God ” he said kissing her, “ My manhood is crowned with the purest and best of His giftsâ€"love, and I can go into life ready for its battle, knowing there is a. true heart by the side of mine to strengthen me.’ Mr. Bruce Joined them and said “ Clay do on think wifely duties and literary work will assimilate well enough to make you hnpvy?” “ I am sure that she will defile good and not evil all the days of her life, and that the heart of her husband shall safely trust in her. Was it true that one of Prof. French’s pupils was the author of that excellent article 2" “ Be warned in time ” said Mr. Bruce “ and with this I bid you God speed and good morning,” and we will do the same. â€"â€"â€"â€"-‘Oâ€"-Q.~â€"-O-.-â€"â€"- Mr. Livingston’s 16 in Hand.

Ireland in- ted Russian surf is farbetter than thstof the French or German t two centuries ago. and within the historical era there is no record of a time when 50,000,000 of the com‘ mon people and poor were so situated as the 50,0“),000 who now inhabit the United States. But if the condition of the r has im~ proved, the private fortunm of the rich have so increased as to utterly confound all at- tempts at comparison wit the rich men of “ As rich as Crmsus ” has stood for an adage these twenty-three centuries. Yet Croesus was a king who devoted his whole energies to the aquisition of gold, and there is good reason to believe that we have not less than half a dozen men and women in this State who are richer in gold and its equivalents than this Lydian monarch. The richest man in Rome at the time of Cmsar was Crassus. His fottune has been care- fully estimated by several historians, but. never above $8,500,000 of our money. This is not much more than W’illiam H. Vander- bilt’s yearly income, and it is more than $1,000,000 below the appraismcnt of t e fortune of the late \Villiam S. O'Brien, of this city. The Astor estate was valued at tenyears ago $40,000,000. At a moderate rate of secretion, say five per cent” it must now amount to $60,000,000. The yearly in- come at the same rate is $3,000,(‘00. This isa third man: than the entire income of the monarch of the Brifish Empire, and a good deal more than the entire revenues of the English Government 250 years ago. It is asserted that there are eight or ten English peers whose income each exceed the allow- ancce of Parliament to the Queen, and yet the richest men in England are commoners. Half a. century ago the reputed wealthiest man in America was old Stephen Girard of Philadelphia. His estate was appraised be- low $15,000,000. There are now probably a 100 private fortunes in the United States each greater than Girard’s, and half a dozen more than twice as great. In the purchas- ing power of money the ancients had the advantage. A dollar would buy more 1,000 years ago than five will now. Forty years back if. man who had a $100,000 was rated as quite rich, and one of $500,000 phenomenal. The latter class was not as numerous in this country as those of 85,000,000 are now. Of course there is not gold and silver enough in the world to represent the aggre- gate of these little private fortunes, nor a tithe of them. They are invested in lands, houses, government, railway, bank, mining and other stocks. The national bonds of England, France and the United States cover nearly ten thousand millions, and the railway securities of the United States alone cover nearly five thousand millions. The largest private landed estates are held in Spanish America, Mexico, Russia, England and the United States, but the largest of all in the latter country and by corporations. It is thought, and justly, a great hardship to the common people of England and Scot- land that the Duke of Sutherland should own 0\Ol‘ 1,200,000 acres, and many other prominent nobles more than 100,000 each. But there is one corpomtionjn this mafifi-y that has I‘ESS granted 49.000,000 acres, and 3.56 48,000,000, and two others, represented by less than ten men, 25,000,000 acres.â€" San Francisco Chronicle. past ages.

Burdock Blood Bitters curcs all diseases of the blood, liver and kidneys. female complslufs, nervous and general dehility, and builds up the en- file system when broken down by disease. Rev. D. BARKER, Chatham, writes under date of April 13, 1880: "The one box of “ Dobyu’s Sure Cure " has benefiftcd my daughter so much that I feel warranted in ordering one dozen boxes for others similar- ly afllicted in my district. Enclosed find price." There are nowlnpwards of one thou- sand Ministers of the Gospel in the United States and Canada either acting as agents for this great Catarrh remedy or recommending it. C.

Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry 0 Scientific and Poetical Views of Nature. \Vo frequently hear protests made against the cold mechanical mode of dealing With zesthetic phenomena employed by scientific men. The dissection by Newton of the light to which the world owcs all its visible beauty and s Iendor seemed to Goethe n desecration. Ve find, even in our own day, the endeavour of Helmholtz to arrive at the principles of harmony and discord in music resented as an intrusion of the scientific intellect into a region which ought to be sacred to the human heart. But all this opposition and antagonism has for its essential cause the incompleteness of those with whom it originates. The feelings and aims with which Newton and Goethc respectively ap- proached Nature were radically different, but they had an equal warrant in the constitution of man. As regards our tastes and tendencies, our pleasures and pains, physical and mental, our action and passion, our sorrows, sympathies, and joys, we are the heirs of all the ages that preceded us; and, of the human nature thus handed down, poetry is an eleinont just as much as scivnce. The emotions of man are older than his understanding, and the poet who brightens, purifies, and exalts these emotions, may claim a position in the world at least as high and as well-assured as that of the man of science. They minister to different but to equally permanent needs of human nature ; and the incompleteness of which I complain consists in the endeavour on the part of either to exclude the other. There is no fear that the man of science can ever destroy the lory of tho lilies of the field; there is no ope that the poet can ever successfully contend against our right to examine, in accordance with scientific method, the agent to which tho'lily owes its glory. There is no necessary encroachment of the one field upon the ofhcr. Nature embraces them both, and man, when he is complete, will exhibit as large a toleration. >~ot o Sign? alnglonns of (plows: complaints ln Infants or . u is. e most s e p easant and perfect remcd A snake Plght' known.

McGahen was driving on his way to Fulton, as Iio reached a small stream of water which crosses the road, ho was per- mitted to witness a scene both novel and exciting. Two large water-snakes were con- tending for the possession of a small fish which had been captqu (the fish being about eight inches in length), while two smaller snakes. one on each side of the con- testants, with beads slightly raised above the water, were apparently interested spectators of the struggle, but neither inter- fered. One of the larger snakes had seized the fish by the head, w He the other grasped him by the tail, the former, of course, hav- ing much the better hold, on account of the taperin ' form of the fish ; but it was a long pull an a strong pull ; the water was lishcd into quite a fury ;. the snake with the tail- hold wound himself twice around a small stick fastened near him, given him quite an advantage over his antagonist. But after a desperate struggle of about five minutes, the snake havin the headdiold wrested the contested prey rom his opponent, and bore it rapidly away up the stream in triumph, while his vanquished snakeship, crcst~fsllen, suppcrlcss, and subdued, slunk away out of sight. It was an intensely exciting perfor- inancc, but probably not a very pleasing one to the poor fish. some more... TORONTO. Machine Ilnuhu. Joe. Wilson, 56 .S‘Aerbourne u. _ Barrister (2 Attorney, Gen.
