letting thetn snp throngh her fin*
aers like a stream of living light.
There was a spray of heliotrope in
the bottom ot the casket, and iti
Bweet, subtle odor, filled the cbem
ber like the breath of incense?And
with that strange power wMel
odors alone possess, carried the
heart ?* the sad faced govern est
away back to the dewy dawn ol
her girlhood.
Only five years ago, and tbic
self same Janet had been the
daughter of a wealthy and indnlgent
father, with every luxury and
comfort at her command, and
erowds of suitor * at her feet. But
only ono of tlieee met with any fit
vor from the shy little beauty, and
ho was in every respect worthy oi
hor. On the ove of a voyage tc
Calcutta, he had made his declaration,
and been accepted, and the
string of emeralds nad been hu
betrothal-gift.
For months after hie dena ture.
Janet lived in a dream of blia*
and tlieu the great trouble of her
life came. Her father who held c
high position in the mercantile
world, failed ntterlv, and finding
himself a beggar, died of a brok
en heart. Tuen their beautifu
dwelling and everything went
and hie poor wife aank into dee
pairing helplessness; and then
was no one left to breast the bittei
storm but pretty Janet.
Bravely enough she did it, fot
the girl woe a hero, despite her
slender form and lily face. Sh?
removed her invalid mother and
little sister tn n f*r
WW V.V rnmmrn
from the scene of their recent
troubles, procured humble lodg
ings and then cast about her foi
employment. With much difficulty,
she obtained a situation a?
governess, a position for wkicli
her fine education and natura
abilities rendered her eminently
qualified. Thus the years wort
on, Janet hearing nothing frorr
her lover, lie was, probably,
dead she thought; or he inighi
have heard of Irer father's failure,
and rcsolvod to quietly ignore her
She did not know, and she was t<?c
proud to inquire.
NoWj standing there inthegath
ering gloom, with the rush and
roar of the great city in her eais,
she asked herself, 44 why not sell
the emeralds ?" They would bring
a good price ; enough to make hoi
poor mother and little Alice com
fortable through many a dreary
month. And yet she could hard
ly bring herself to pait with them
They were the one link that bound
tier to the happy past. The shad
dws thickened round her, and the
Jroatnv odor of the heliotrope
wrapped her, like a trance, in
memories of long ago. She could
?ee me green summer-garuen,
Itear the plash of the fountain, and
jatcli the twitter ol the canaries
from their gilded cages. His face
*as bending over her, his kisses
burned upon her brow, his very
Aords seemed sounding in her
jar again. 41 A quaint affair for a
betrothal-gift," he said, 44 but they
ire very precious, and they
sere my mother's wedding jewels.
[ hold them dearer than anything
jlse I possess, hence J give them to
pou."
Could she part with them f Bell

Dot bosom rose and fell with great
hrobs of agonv. She was coiling

ter face whitening in the gloom ;

Shu closed the ensket resolutely,
ind slipping it in her pocket, tiur
ied out into the darkening streets.
Duly a block or two from Mrs.
jrapcr 8 was a fashionable jewel*
y establishment, every window a
jlnzo of jewels. With her heart
n her mouth, Janet entered and
;ln?tced down the line ot anylr*
Ireesed customers. It would be
talf an bonr at least, she saw, beore
she eon Id be waited on, and
hat would be too late. And after
ill, perhaps, Mrs. Draper (fright

from the beauty's ears.
" And what for your hair ?" she
asked.
H Who knows t** replied the
beauty, discontentedly. " Plowere,

held a wreath of rose buds against

And she swept down to the pari

Janet looked utter her with an old
sensation of mingled pain and
pleasure, and half regretted the
impulsive generosity that had
( prompted her to proffer her prei
cious emeralds, even for so short a
time.
The tableaux were over, and the
waltzing had begun. Mr. Willonghby,
the lion of the season,

a millionaire, approached to seek ,
Miss Draper for his first partner.

"Now that oranges are in every
child's mouth, it is wdl enough for '
parents to know that fatal cause- '
quences may follow the swallowing j
of the rind. Many years ago wo '
had in charge two little girls, sis- 1
ters, four and six years of age, 1
who were seized with violent in- 1
flainmntion of the l>o\vels from this '
cause. One of taem died in con- 1
vu Is ions, and the ether had a narrow
escape. Since that time, 1
quite a number of instances, sitni
lar in character, have come under 1
our observation. 1
Quite fecentlj we have seen a
child, something over a year old,
that was attacked with violent
dyseutric symptoms, for which no
cause could he assigned. The attack
came on during the passage
of the steamer from San Diego.? ,
The symptoms were so identical i
with those which we had previ- i
ously noticed to arise from poison- i
ing by orange peel, that we were t
induced to inquire particularly if
the child had had an opportunity
of ge ling this substance in its i
mouth. We were iuforined that I
it liad been playing with an i
orange, and nibbling at it just be- (
fore the attack of the disease. The t
discharges from the bowles were <
frequent, and consisted of blood 1
and mucus. After a week of severe t
enteric inflammation, the child t
died. We have no doubt that the <
disease was brought on by the rind t
of the orange. Though but a small <
quantity must have been swall.w- <
jct n very small quantity ot t
such an indigestible and irritating t
substance will often produce most <
serious consequences. i
The oil ot the rind is highly t
acrid, and adds greatly to the tiox <
ious qnalify of the indigestible i
mass. We learn that it is a common
practice among the children
of some of onr public schools to g
sat the rind, and that juvenile $
merchants have !>cen known to (
trade off the inside of the fruit for f
the skin.*1 I

Exemptions from Stamp Duty
Aftku Octouku l-?t.? Acting Coinmitfe'inncr
Douglass has addressed
a letter to F. M. Patrick, Esq.,
itatnp agent at New York, stating
tliat the only instruments subject
to stamp duty under schedule B,
which are held exempt from tax
sfter the first of October next by
Ihe terms of the Act of July 14,
?re 14 promissory notes for a less
mm than $100, receipts for any
turn of money or for tlie payment
)f any debt.* Section four of
lie Act alluded to also provides
hat u no stamp shall be required
jpon the transfer or assignment
A a mortgage where it or tho inLlrmucut
it seoures has been once
luly stamped." The agent in his
;ominunicatiou to the department
itutcs that many business men
teem to think that the tax is repealed
on all tortns. and the acting commissioner
in his reply authorizes
the publication of the decision to
tet aside that erroneous impresson.
A Western Story.?A curious
itory comes from California, which
joes to prove that the "heathen
Chinese" lias at his command an
trmory of ingenious devices which
lid fair to make him a formidable
ival to ail barbarians iu every department
of industry. A gentleman
of San Jose, desirous of having
fourteen bouses built, contracted^
with a Chinaman to do the
work. That the Chinese contractor
fas entirely innocent t*i any
cnowiedge of the architecture of
iivinacu nations, wm no obstacle
0 bis contract for *4the j"b."?
tVith a shrewdness that was ad
nimble, be hired an American
milder to put up the first house,
faring the operation, the conractor
from the Flowery Kinglom,
with his Chinese assistants,
attentively watched the method of
tonstruction, and when the house
vas finished. be discharged the
milder and erected the remaining
louses himself. In view of the
narvelous facility with which
lieee organized human pieces of
Machinery adapt themselves to
ivory ciicumstnnce, the stories
on# current in the east of wonderid

f that enchanted land, begin to

Our rice planters are adopting all I
the improved modes of labor-sav- (<
ing and timc-enving machinery In d
the manipulation o? their crona.?
We noticed one at Lamar's canal,
near the bridge. It is in the shape $
of a threshing machine, mounted 9
on a flat and covered over, with 9
abundant room for laborers, &e., J
and securing ample protection from I
the weather, so that, instead of car- <j
rving the rice to the thresher, t' e 9
thresher >? carried through the va- a
rious canals of the field to the rice, a
thus saving transportation, loss of t]
time, and loss of grain. The machine *
in question was put up for J. linger, 1<
Jr., by Messrs. Monahan & Parry. *
The idea is excellent, and there is <;
nu reason why U should not be t>
generally adopted. By the appli- n
cation of proper motive power tlte jj
flat might be made available for ti
several plantations, and thne save |t
a large expense to smaller rice J
