An Old Man's Valentine.
"Give me a valentine, Youth"?
And thoold nan's cheeks were aglow,
Though a staff was in his hand
And his hair was white as snow?
" Give me a valentine?something nice
The girl I love is beyond?a price.
" One of the old-fashioned kind,
All sweet with the perfume of flowers;
With dear little simple rhymes,
And two lovers in rosy bowers,
With a timid hope and a thought of tears.
That has hflfin mv stvle for fiftv vears.
"This one will suit her, I think.
Her eyes, as those blessoms, are blue,
White as these lilliesher hair,
Like this dove, she is tender and true.
Just such a valentine?smiles and fears?
As I've sent her now for fifty years.
" No need for laughing, young man !
But laugh when you're seventy years old,
If the girl you love to-day
Is beloved of you seventy fold,
Laugh if you've had, through fifty years strife,
The wonderful joy of a faithful wife.
" Send her a valentine then,
As I'm sending my wife to-day.;
Send her ono every year,
For that is a true lav^r's way.
God give_vo.aT-??afg: man, a wife like mine,
^^Andjooll send her, I know, a Valentino !"
LOSS OR GAIN ?
An old gentleman, leaning forward
Vitli his hands clasped over a goldy
headed cane, was seated in a summerhouse
situated upon the grounds of a
hotel at a fashionable watering-place.
He was in a corner hidden by drooping
vines, and his face expressed deep and
apparently painful thought. The refrain
of his sad musing was, " Only one
person i?i the whole world to love me,
and I shall lose even that love now !"
On-the other side of the eurumerhouse,
divided from the side the old
gentleman occupied by a rustic parti
tion, two ladies, young and fair, rustled
in, and taking out some fancy work,
settled down for a chat.
One was tall and dressed in a pretty
costume that was at once youthful and
matronly; the other was petite, blonde,
and not more than eighteen. Mrs.

vuuxtitvuci uiovi
** Embroidery, Alice ?'' she said. " A
handkerchief comer. For your trousseau
?"
"Yes;" and the sweet voice faltered,
while a burning blush crimsoned the
',/* fair cheek. " Is it not pretty ?"
"Yery. I want to talk about yonr
prospects, child. Your Aunt Mary tells
me you are making a splendid match."
"Did she? I think so, Blanche.
Malcolm is so noble and good !"
"But your aunt tells me he is the
favorite nephew of the great merchant,
Hubert Bates, whose wealth is something
enormous. You have only to
nelp Him play his cards well and he will
probably be heir to a magnificent fortune.
But what ails you ? You look as if I
was telling you a piece of news."
" I think aunt Mary has been misinformed;
that is all."
" Then he is not Mr. Bates' nephew ?"
"I never heard him speak of a rich
uncle, and I am quite sure "he has no
hope of inheriting money. He has a
good salary, and my little fortune will
furnish a small house ; so we can make
2? a comfortable and, I hope, a happy
home ?"
" Did he never speak [to you of his
unole ?"
"Not of a rich uncle. He had told
me of a lame uncle, his mother's brother,
who has been very kind to him,
given him his education and a start in
the world. He always talks of him with
the deepest love and pity."
"Pity ?"
"He suffers tortures from the effects
of a fall that Imh lamed him for life and
often causes him weeks of agonizing
^ pain. Malcolm tells me with tears in
nis eyes of his fear of losing this friend."
" I wonder if it is the same 1" murmured
Mrs. Courtland.
"Tell me, Blanche, Borne of the best
places to go for oar furniture and carpete.
It will be new work for me to buy
household goods, and Aunt Sophy is
not well enough to help me much."
"Oh, 1 will go with you. But I declare,
if I were you, I would wait and
Bee if your Aunt Mary is right. Your
fortune will never buy or fnrnish such
a house as a future millionaire should
live in."
" My fortune," said Alice Hunter,
Trith a ring in her clear voice, "will
furnish a house suitable for a bank clerk
with five hundred a year salary, which
is what my husband will have. If Mnloolin
has a rich uncle he is not the man
to live in expectation of money to come
to him over a grave. If his uncle Hubert
is, as you say, very rich, Malcolm
would hate money won by the death of
the nearest, relative and dearest friend
he has. But I don't believe in the
money, for he never spoke of it to me."
Then the talk drifted into discussion
of bridal finery, of furniture and stories
of the young wife's content in. her own
married life.
But the old man leaning upon the
cane was thinking : " Can it be truo ?
Does Malcolm think so little of my
money that will be his, that he has
never even mentioned it to his promised
wife? Can it be that I shall gain a
loving, tender neice, inBtead of losing
my nephew when Malcolm marries?"
Loving his nephew so deeply, Hubert
Bates had felt a keen pain attlie news of
his betrothal. He had never seen Alice
Hunter, but he knew she had been

was the orphan niece of one of society's
? gayest votaries, Mrs. Mary Haydon.
: While he mused upon the conversation
he had overheard, the silvery
voices of his young neighbors still
. sounding beside him, there was a sud;
den crash. Something struck him upon
the head, and he lost consciousness.
Ories from the summer house, from
' groups of people collected in the
grounds brought a party of men
speedily to the spot. The rotten posts
T supporting the roof upon one side had
given way and the sMe and roof had
fallen in. Mrs. Courtland and Miss
* ; Hunter were buried under the fallen
* timbers, the doorway being completely
bloobaded, but were uninjured. Not
so the old gentleman, who had been
;. _ their unsuspected listener. He was
(' t .ken out pallid and senseless.
Nobody knew him. He had come by
; the morning train, had taken breakfast,
but no room, and asked the hour for the
return train. A surgeon, summoned as
speedily as possible, announced a broken
^? arm and injury to the head, making a
likelihood of a long, tedious illness.
There was some animated discussion,
r some suggestions of hospital, a search
5 t through the pockets of the unoonscious
* victim, resulting in the discovery of a
' small sum of money, but no letters,
papers or cards ; and finally a desertion
of one and another, eaoh going his or
her way, with the consoling reflection
-1 Tit 1 ; >9
"Ai s iiouts ui my uuBiuesij.
Bat when they bad all deserted tbe
injured man the surgeon, still busy
. ' binding ap his arm as he lay upon a
. bench brought from a rained Bummer'
bouse, felt a light touch on his hand
and looked up.
"Can I help you?" Alice Hunter
asked.
"No child, not now."
" What will they do with him ? "
" I suppose he mu6t go to a hospital?"
? "But tbe ride? the journey? "
' "Will cause great additional suffer?
'"ing, perhaps result in death."
"Doctor, will they keep him here if
he is paid for ?"
" Certainly ; but there is not monej
- enough ahont him to pav his board a
-* "I will pay it."
' "You?"
" Yes; 1 will not let him die for wan!
of money I have. He"?and her lips
quivered?"he looks like my dear
father who is dead."
"Hem, yes. Here comes the foliowers
to carry him to the station. I thinl
vl will bave him taken to the houBe
where I board. It will cost less, and be
r- . more quiet."
Mrs. Courtland declared Alice was
outraging the proprieties most dread
folly when the young girl went to th<
house and offered her services as nurs<
to the dootor; but Aunt Sophy silenoec
'
all comment by moving her belongings
from the hotel to the quiet boardinghouse,
and the doctor found he had a
valuable assistant.
Alice explained, in her quiet, low
voice, that her father was ill for nine
long months before he died and she was
his nurse. This acoounted for the
noiseless woolen dresses, the velvetaVirwl
frmf fliA rminlr cxta orirl roarl'C
hand, and when the sufferer recovered
consciousness the gentle voice and tact
that quieted him in paroxysms of pain
and fever. Aunt Sophy was too much
of an invalid herself to help; but she
sat bo3ide the bed while Alice moved to
and fro, and performs 1 all nursing duties.
The invalid had oue long talk with
the doctor, and then submitted to the
gentle ministration of the two women,
only insisting upon a man the doctor
provided being with him at night and
within call.
The season was over, and only these
three remained of the summer boarders
at the house, when, one cool October
day, the sick man, now fast recovering,
i called Alice to him.
j "I shall soon be well again," he said,
| regretfully.
"Yes,"sheanswered, cheorily, "very
soon."
" I shall miss my nurse."
" And I my patieDt; but I am glad
you are recovering. We were afraid at
one time there would be a more painful
parting."
" You mean I was in danger of dying.
Why should that be painful? I am
old."
She made no answer, looking sorrowfully
into his uplifted eyes.
" And a burden upon you, the doctor j
tells me. Why did you make yourself
responsible for a stranger ?*'
I The fair face flushed, the soft eyes
! were dewy with feeling, as Alice said
j softly: " L'ecftuse you are old and seemed
poor rnd friendless. I was glad it was
in my power to aid you. Do not think j
it was at any great cost," she added, |
with a generous desire to lighten the i
burden of obligation. "I have some
money lying idle."
"For* the wedding-day, perhaps.
Well, child, you might have poorer
I jewels to deck your bridal than an old
! man's tears of gratitude and love. I
J am getting well and shall soon leave
j you. Will you give me a keepsake ?"
The girl loosened a little locket from
| a chain round her throat, cut off one of
! her golden curls and put it in the place
j of some hairs he took out, and laid the
| trinket in the old man's hand.
I " With my love," she Baia, soiciy.
| "Ah, child!" he sighed, "an old man
; sick and feeble wins little love."
"Yet," she said earnestly, "you must
believe that I have nnrsed you since you
were conscious with affection. My own
father is gone, but if ever you want a
daughter's care or affection, believe me,
I will gladly oome to you if possible."
Three days later the house was deserted.
Aunt Sophy and Alice returned j
to their home, and Alice cheerfully paid i
out of her small patrimony for the board j
and expensed of her venerable patient, i
She little guessed how deep an impression
her care and tenderness had ]
made upon the heait so long closed j
against human affection, so distruthful !
of any advances from his fellow-crea- j
tures. It was a revelation to him, this
active charity to an utter stranger. He
had gone to the hotel merely to see Malcolm's
choice and had purposely left all
clue to his identity behind him. He
had intended meeting Alice, if possible,
unknown and watching her unobserved
; but accident had thrown them
together in a way he little anticipated.
The first use he made of his reoovery
was to write to his nephew, and Malcolm
met him at the station when he returned
home.
; Knowing nothing of the recent acci- j
dent, the young man was shocked at the I
change in his uncle's face.
"You've been ill ?" he cried.
" Very ill."
" Why did you not send for me?"
"I had even better nursing than
i vours. Malcolm. Don't ask me any
j questions now, but tell mo about your [
I marriage preparations."
" Alice has gone home, and will reJ
main until November. Then she comes
j to Mrs. Haydon's, and will buy her fur|
niture."
" In November?"
" Yes."
Late in November she came, her
trunks full of Aunt Sophy's presents,
and Aunt Mary gave her cordial greeting.
A grand wedding was the display
upon which the lady had set her heart, !
and Alice shrank a little at the oomments !
upon the rich uncle and her own good !
fortune in the " first-rate match."
But just before the wedding day a lit- I
tie note was brought to Alice by a gorgeous
footman, who was driven to her
aunt's behind a private carriage. The
note was from Malcolm, and begged her
to come to him in the carriage.
Wondering, but obedient, Alice was
speedily ready, and was driven to a
handsome house, where the door was
opened to usher her into a stylish drawing
room, where a gentleman awaited
her, and Malcolm advancing said: "My
Uncle Hubert, Alice 1"
Kindly blue eyes looked into her own,
withered hands were extended and a
voice she knew well said: " We are old
friends, Malcolm. Are we not, Alice ?"
Then, before she could answer, the
old man continued: " I have thought,
Alice, that it was unkind to have my
nephew wait for my death before sharing
in my wealth. I have borne a curse
- - i w
01 uisrrust 111 lliy ilcaib IUI xuaujr jcaio,
thinking my money won me all the affection,
save Malcolm's, that was offered
me; but, though you were well content
to wed the young clerk and put your
own patrimony into his home, you must
not refuse my heir, wbo has accepted
from me an income that makes him independent,
and this home."
" My love for Malcolm can bear riches
or poverty,'" was the answer; " but, sir,
our home needs you. You will come,
will you not, to the children, who will
try to make your lifo happy by loving
care? Long before I knew you, Mai
colm told me he hoped, when lie had a
home, to win yon to live in it. Will yon
let me, too, beg of yon to come to us ?"
" Gladly, child ! gladly I" the old man
said.
"I understand now," Alice said to
Malcolm, "why you wanted to wait
until after the wedding to take our
house. Fou wanted to surprise me."
"I assure you I am as surprised as
j you are, though it was Uncle Hubert
; who persuaded me to wait."
So where the rich, lonely man had
feared to lose the one love of his life,
he gained another tenderer, sweeter love
to brighten his declining years by a
daughter's devotion and affection.

BRINGING THE DEAD TO LIFE.
A Startling Experiment In an lndlanapolli
College?New Life Infused Into the Bod;
of a Victim or the Hangman.
It was after eleven when the professor!
of physiology and anatomy, with foui
students, came np. The interview las tec
some moments, and our reporter gav<
such aocurate proofs of a knowledge ol
what was up that it ended in his beinp
invited to witness some experiments thai
were about to be performed to demon
strate certain mooted questions regardI
ing the physiologv of the brain anc
! smnal cord, as well as the power to re
eascitate persons banged or drowned,
The diBsecting-rooms?a suit of not verj
large rooms?were crowded with narrow
red tables, upon which were twenty 01
thirty human bodies in various stagos o)
dissection and decomposition.
All being ready, we surrounded the
tDb, aB the cover was removed, to have
a view of the body of the man who, al
12.20, had been declaring his innocence
at the jail, and who had fallen through
the hangman's trap. The head and
I beard had been shaven; the face was not
j so swollen and black as when exposed tc
: view at the undertaker's in the afterj
noon; the hot bath had softened thedis,
torted features.
All things being ready, the professor
: adj asted the head-straps of the Savere
apparatusd an commenced drawing upon
the cords, which pass over a series oi
pulleys at the top of the tripod. The
body of the murderer was thus drawn
upward at full length by the head, until
! the toes rested in the tub. Instantly
j the assistants rubbed the body briskly
with coarse towels for two minutes, and
then wrapped it, from tho shoulders
down, with a warm blanket.
"I desire," said the professor, "to
reduce the dislocation of tho bones of
the neck by this hanging by the head.
This man died simply because the second
bone of the neck was pulled away
from the first, which is like a thin, flat
ring, supporting the skull. This second
bone has a tooth-like prominence
or pivot, upon which the head turns.
If this pivot, is pulled out, that is suspending
all the vital force which should
keep this man alive, the pivot is pressing
upon the spinal cord, and that
pressure produces paralysis 01 Dreaming,
and the heart becomes crowded
with clotted blood, and all the machinery
becomes stopped."
Daring this time the two professors
were drawing the body in various directions,
and were manipulating the head
and neck without succeea The body
was then removed to a table and placed
upon its faoe, with the arms drawn up
under the forehead, when the professor
of anatomy, with a narrow chisel, made
a gash in the neck where it joins the
head, and with two short, quick blows
from a mallet split the two upper bones
that were pressing upon the cord, like
cutting a ring that has become too tight.
Then the body was turned upon the back.
Taking np the detached nozzle of a large
bellows, the professor of physiology
proceeded, working and talking at the
same time:
"Gentlemen, this subject affords an
opportunity of showing how far vital
actions may be suspended and again restored.
All this man's organs are perfect,
but all his vital energy is lost. To
restore it we must make the heart beat
again; the coagulated blood must be removed
from the heart cavities; and the
lungs must be filled with air."
Taking up a sharp knife, the professor
cut down the windpipe from what is
known as Adam's apple to the hollow
over the breast-bone. With a sharp
steel hook ho raised the windpipe, split
it open, and inserted the nozzle of the
bellows, makiDg it fast -with a silver
wire aroand tlie pipe. This done, the
handle of the bellows was put in charge
of an assistant, while the professor took
up a long hollow needle or tube, half as
large as an old-fashioned knittingneedle.
To this he attached, on a head
at one end, a rubber tnbe one-quarter
of an inch in diameter and three feet
long. This was attached at the other
tn a nrloon inrnr rflflfliTrflr find t.lifl
CX1V4 1/vr w . wa. w,
receiver was attached to an air-pump,
whicu was to be controlled by another
assistant. The professor next placed a
gallon jar, containing a mixture of defibrinated
sheep's blood and milk in a
pail of water, all of which had been
heated to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. From
the jar (p'nced a little above the table,
about five feet distant) ran a rubber
tube one-quarter of an inch in diameter,
to the end of which was a small siiver
tube, with stop-cock attachment. The
wires of the battery were now uncoiled,
and very delicate platinum-pointed
needles were fixed. All this apparatus
being arranged and in the hands of the
assistant, the professor placed a delicate
thermometer before him, and said :
"Now, gentlemen, we are ready. Let
every action be performed steadily and
quickly as 1 direct. I now open the
right jugular vein, and permit what
blood there is in it to escape. You see
by the flowing it is not coagulated, and
as I thrust this thermometer into the
vein it indicates that we have the body
at ninety-eight and a half degrees F.,
the natural temperature of the human
being in health. I will now attach this
small silver tube in the vein, which, of
rvDuree, connects it by this siphon tube
with the jar of defibrinated "warm sheep's
blood and milk. I keep the stop-cock
closed for the present. Next I will
plunge this hollow needle, which is attached
to the air-pump, or aspirator,
into the ventricles of the heart, and
when the air is exhausted in the receiver
the clotted blood will be drawn out.
You know that needles, sharp, narrow
blades, and even arrows, have pierced
the walls of the heart in living animals
frequently without producing death,
because upon their withdrawal the contraction
of the muscular fibers closes
the opening. Now this needle is in the
right ventricle, and (making another attachment
by the double tube) this is
in the left. All is now ready except our
arrangement for stimulating the nerves
which preside over respiration, the
heart, and general circulation. The
nerves are the pneumo-gastric and
great sympathetic. The former comes
from the base of the brain in a certain
spot; the latter will require an opening
in the abdomen."
The professor then took up a small
diamond drill, not larger than a horsehair,
and perforated the skull at two
pointB, an inch apart, at the base of the
brain, into which be thrust the two delicate
platinum points of the battery. At
the moment these entered several persons
remarked that the chest had
moved, as if in respiration. The bellows
was detached, and, sure enough, a
quantity of bloody-looking froth and
mucus was being forced out of the windpipe.
This was all drawn out with a
syringe, and tho professor proceeded to
the last arrangement of the poles of the
smaller Bunson to the sympathetic
nerve?"solar plexus," as he called it.
And now came the trial, which all awaited
in breathless anxiety. The professor
of anatomy took charge of the jars
of blood and milk, and was to turn the
stop-cocks to lot it flow into the jugular
vein, and thence into the heart, as the
professor of physiology was to empty
the blood clots from the heart with the
aspirator or air-pump at the same time.
Another student was to inflate the lungs
with the bellows by a slow, easy motion,
not more rapidly than eighteen times a
minute. Another assistant was to move
a scape-valve on tho bellows tube, so
that when the lungs were filled it might
empty itself of bad air, without blowing
back into the bellows. Two other assistants
stood by the batteries to make
the connections at the word.
At the word "Now" every welltrained
head and hand began to work?
all in harmony?and quietly. No sound
at first but the slow wheezing of the
bellows, and the measured "thud!
thud 1" of the piston of the air-ptimp.
The clotted blood from the heart poured
into the receiver at first like a brown
jelly, which, after a few moments, was
thinner; at last a stream of thin, warm
blood. It was notioed that the blood
mixture in the jar was perceptibly
lowering. The professor of phvsiology
withdrew the aspirating needles, and
stood with dilated pupils and flashed
face. The chest of the dead man was
mpving regularly. He grasped the
pulse, and said in a whisper: " A tremo
a tremor 1" And then, applying his ear
to the oh est for a moment, sprang uP
and oried out in an excited manner1
" By heavens it moves! I can feel its
pulse ?" A. shout went up from every
one, but followed in a moment by a
deathly stillness, for the swollen eyes of
r the dead were seen to roll in their sockets,
and each one looked at the other as
3 much as to say, "What have we done
r in restoring this man to life and sufferl
ing?" The battery at the heart and
i abdomen were now disconnected, and
f all the semblance of lile was observable.
Nearly two pints of the blood-mixtnre
11 bad entered the veins. This -was now
cut off and artificial respiration kept
up. The pulse could be counted, lr'
regular, and over 100 per minute. The
face of the subject was no longer livid,
but r-ther pale. The evelids were half-.
r closed, and the eyeballs rolling; the
pupils were discovered contracting and
' dilating according as they were shaded
lF or exposed to light. Somo nitrite of
amyl was held to the valve of the bel>
lows, for breathing was not through the
1 mouth or nostrils, and instantly the
- heart beat more steadily, the face be1
came of better color, and the chest jerk-1
1 ed as if there was a deBire to cough.
At this juncture the professor of physi;
ology said:
' "Gentlemen, our experiments thus
far are successful. This man is living
again, but can have no thought, becauso
the mass of brain is too nearly severed
from the cord. No act of will, at least,
1 can be performed. The spinal cord is
; itself the motor center of the body, and
as long as we keep up artificial breath1
ing the body will live."
He then proceeded to drill several
holes, as large as a sewing-needle, into
various parts of the skull, and touched
the brain with the galvanic points,
which caused the legs to jerk, the hands
to clench, the eyes to roll, open, shut,
and the tongue to protrude. A full description
of the anatomical points and
psychological observations was carefully
taken down, and will doubtless
appear in the medical periodicals.
The experiment concluded by withdrawing
the bellows, and closing the
opening in the windpipe by adhesive
plaster, and all were startled by a sud/ nnnrVi
frnm Hi a rlpnH mnn ATlrl n.
rolling of the head, with moaning
sounds like one exhausted by suffering.
This was followed by convulsive action
in the limbs, a fixing of the eyes and
appearance of a second death. The
body became cool in twenty minutes.
The whole experiment lasted from 11,30
v. m. to 12.20 a. m., or fifty minutes.?
Indianapolis (lnd.) Herald.
A Monster Deril Fish.
A Newfoundland correspondent of the
I Boston Traveler writes: Stephen
! Sherring, a fisherman residing in Thimble
Tickle, was out in a boat with two
other men; not far from the shore they
observed some bulky object, and, supposing
it might be part of a wreck, they
rowed toward it, and, to their horror,
round themselves close to a huge fish,
having large glassy eyes, which was
making desperate efforts to escape, and
churning the water into foam by the
motion of its immense arms and tail. It
was aground, and the tide was ebbing.
From the funnel at the back of its head
it was ejecting large volumes of water,
this being its method of moving back
ward, the force of the Btream, by the reaction
of the surrounding medium,
driving it in the required direction. At
times the water from the syphon was
black as ink.
Finding the monster partially disabled,
the fishermen plucked up courage
and ventured near enough to throw the
grapnel of their boat, the sharp flukes
| of which, having barbed points, sunk
into the soft body. To the grapnel
they had attached a stout rope which
they had carried ashore and tied to a
tree, so as to prevent the fiBh from going
| out with the tide. It was a happy
| thought, for the devil-fish found him|
self effectually moored to the shore, j
I His struggles were terrific as he flung
j his ten arms about in dving agony. The
! fishermen took care to seep a reBpectfu

The Happy Moment in a Boj's Life.
There is a time in the life of every
boy when his spirits are buoyed on
waves of unadulterated felicity, and
that time is on a fine bracing morning
I wh(?n the circus comes to town and is
giving its pageant.
In the country the boy who is compelled
to go to school on this eventful
day feels what he considers a punishment
more keenly than doeB a" forger
his well merited five years in Sing Sing.
As he sits and cons his hateful lessons
he feels as mean as does the man who
buys a dollar and a half new silk scarf
by gaslight and discovers on the follow|
ing morning that it is grassgreen.
His melancholy is not soothed by the
soul-melting strains of "Lanigan's
Ball " or " Grandfather's Clock." The
happy boy is the one who can follow
i the highly colored wagons from street
| to street and marvel at their contents.
It is one of the happiest moments of
I his life. He drives his hands into his
' pockets, pushes his cap back on his
| head, and marches along as proudly as
j though he were Alexander wading up to
! his neck in human gore. His thoughts
will never be known, but they are pret|
ty respectable in regard to flight and
; general symmetry.

The Orange ivhich Disappeared.
I "In my hurry to leave the court1
room yesterday," said his honor as he
hung up his overcoat, " I left a large,
plump Havana orange on my desk."
Bijah at once began to rattle the
I stove in a vigorous manner, and it was
observed that his face suddenly grew j
red.
"I have no doubt that I shall find
; that orange right where I left it," conI
tinued his honor as he took off his rubi
bers.
| Bijah rattled the stove until the pipe
: shook its whole length, and his eyes
; assumed a far-away look, as if he was |
j thinking of some one in Rhode Island. ;
" Bijah, that fruit is missing 1" sharpi
ly remarked his honor as he walked
behind his desk. "It was left in your
j care, and I shall hold you responsible I"
" Mebbe it rolled off," suggested the
! old man as ho rose up.
" And mebbe you ate it up !"
" I lost a good jack-knifo in here the
other day in just such a mysterious
manner," whispered Bijah, trying hard
not to blush above his ears.
His honor sat down without another
word. It was evident that he had his
suspicions, and that he had determined
to find out the criminal if it cost ten
thousand dollars. Bijah tried to tell a
story about his losing a hundred dollar j
bill "in Texas, but broke down in the j
middle of it and slid into the corridor.? :

To prevent baldness the Monthly advises

A. letter has been submitted and referred to
the committee on ways and moans, from the
seoretary of the treasury, saying that there
will probably be a deficit in the revenues of
tho government for the next fiscal year of
$27,< ' i,000, and asking for authority to issae
four centum bonds to cover such deficiency.
Congressman Horatio C. Burchard, of Illinois,
has been nominated as director of the
mint in place of the late Dr. Linderman.
In his letter to the ways and means committee
announcing a probable deficiency of $27,000,000
in the year's resources, Secretary
Sherman says that the amount estimated to
bo neoded for arrears of pensions this year is
$41,500,000, and he adds: ''The expenditures
for the first seven months of the current fiscal
year wore $152,090,1)41.06,and for the same period
last year $141.0928,48.15, showing an increase
of $11,598,092.91, from which should be
deducted tho amount paid for the Halifax
award? $5,500,000?leaving a net increase of
$6,028,092.91. If to this bo added the amount
necessary for the payment of arreajs of
pensions, $41,500,000, and the expenditnrna
fnr t.riA ldRf. flfloal vear. $236 964.
32G 80, the total estimated expenditures
for the next fiscal year will be $284,562,419.71.
The receipts, ?h estimated, will be:
From cuatomn, $133,000,000; from internal
revenue; $106,000,000; from miscellaneous
sources, $18,500,000; total, $257,500,000;
leaving a deficiency of $27,062,419.71. This
estimate is bated upon tbo assumption that
the expenditures for the balance of the fiscal
year will not bo increaeod by unusual deficiencies,
and that the appropriations for the next
fiscal year will not exceed in other respects
the amounts appropriated for this fisoal year.
The saving of interest resulting from the refunding
of the debt will not inure to the benefit

General Merritt, collector of the port of

sent to him from Washington soon after bis
confirmation:
Mt Dear General?i congratulate von on
your confirmation. It is a great gratification
to me, very honorable to yen, and will prove,
I believe, of signal Bervjce to the country.
My desire is that the office be oonduotea on
strictly business principles and according to
/AM tko Kml aAraiaa IBKIAII TCOPO rCrtATII.
I luoiujco ivt iuo wiitooiiiwnuiuu nvtwkvwM
mended by the civil Bervioe commission in the
administration of Oeneral Grant. I want you
to be perfectly independent of mere influence
from any quarter. Neither my recommendation
nor that of Secretary Sherman, nor of any
member of Congress, or other influential person,
muht be specially regarded. Let appointments
and removals be made on business
principles and according to rules. There must,
I assume, be a few confidential places filled by
those you personally know to be trustworthy,
but restrict the era of patronage to the narrowest
limits. Let no man be put out merely
because he is a friend to Mr. Arthur, and no
man be put in merely because he is our frit id. j
The good of the service should be the sole -rod
in view. The best means yet presentee, it
seems to me, are the rules reoommendeti by 1
the civil service commission. I shall isBuo no
new order on the subject at present. I am .
glad you approve of tbe message, and I wish ;
you to see that all that is expressed or Implied
in it is faithfully carried out.
Again congratulating you, and assuring you
of my er.tire confidence, I remain sincerely,
To General E. A. Merritt B. B. Hates.

Nerve Inqatetade and Ita Remedy*
Restless nerves, at least those that are constantly
so, are weak ones ae well. The true way
to tranquilize them thoroughly is to strength!
en thom. It may be, nay, it very often is necessary
to have recourse to a sedative or even an
opiate, in dangerous cases of nervous inquie- ,
tude ; but the continued use of such unnatural
pilliativt sis greatly to be deprecated. Tnougb .
not, in a restricted sense, a ppeoiflo for nerv- .
oufners, Hofrtetler'n Stomach Bitters is emi- I
nently calculated to allay and eventually overcome
it ; a fact which the recorded experience {
of matjy goes to substantiate. This inestimable
tonic, by promoting digestion, assimilation .
and secretion, touches the three key notes up- I
on which tho harmony of all the bodily organs g
depends, and tho result is that fresh stores of
vitality are diffused through the system, of
which tbe nerves receive their due apportionment,and
grow tranquil as they gat her sti engtb.
The ?alne of Time*
As in a fire tbe loss greatly depends upon
tho timo required for efiiciont aid to arrive, eo
tbe result or catarrh greatly depends upon tho <
speedy use of efficient remedies. For over a
quarter of a century Dr. Sage's Catarrh Rem- L
edy has been the standard remedy. Tho posi- j;
tive cures it has effected are numbered by ]
thousands. Each year has witnessed an increased
sale. Its reputation is the result of
superior merit. If the disease has extended '
to the throat or lungs, Dr. Pierce's Golden .
Medical Disoovery should be used with tho
Catarrh Remedy. These two medicines will
speedily cure the most stubborn case of catarrh. I
