AUNT MARSTON'S LEGACY.
J i v-i? H If L * '?? j wc
K i 4 V,* 4 f j 'I v f Vj I ,-1
Auirt-'Mrtrston wW dead, and I sat. l:l?
looking at tfte legacy she had lett me in , her
mil. Xo:mj beloved niece, Nelly i ev<
Stanhope,$ie f&itliful nurse, the loving wi
comforter of my * declining years, I 1 , .
bequeath my, gold ball earrings, with '
the brooch to Wtch, marked with my ;
initials in black enamel." Thus ran the .
passage referring to me. : 111
When my cousin, Lucinda Marston, 2185
handed me tlie Ihtle morocco case she ! arV
could scarcely repress a smile of triumph , ^
as she thought of the difference a few
short weeks had made in our relative 2?,
positions. I'
I had beea-bcoaght up by Aunt Mars- | l"f
ton, had litaHn wSeand luxury all my ?
life, while my cousin had been obliged I JY1
for years to earn her own living by i
sewing. . ;
I had always looked upon Greylands , ?
as my home, while she had never been \ng
invited to spend even a week at the de- ; .li?l
lightfulold country house on the Hud-1
son since she Was a child | WI"
And now she had come ir^to possession
of the old homestead, and I, the favor- i ,
ite, whom she-had hated and envied for j 7.*1
so many years, was put off with this ; n"
insigniticant bequest! j ,,
"After all vour toadvins," she said, i
with a sneer, "iti3 too bad co be cut off 7"
with a shilling; but if Mr. Lewis"?the
other executor?"knows anything about J. ?
it, they are worthagreilt many shillings. 1 .
for he says they a$e solid eighteen-karat 1
gold, and that Ormolu, who made them,
would give you fifty dollars for them ! Pa*
to-day. However, you arc welcome to !
them* And now I suppose you will see! tt
the necessity of loosing about for j y
another home." 4 . .
The bitter, insulting words, the deso- aoi1
late, deserted feeling at being thus!
cruelly turned out ot the only home I! da*
knew, overcame.1 the unnatural calm- *
ness with whictft had hitherto borne ! ?n(
my irreparable loep, and I threw myself J:0
on my bed and wept, as I never in my loy
shdrt,' happy life thought it possible I j '
could weep. >"
I don't know how long it lasted, but j111.
when I became calm n:y heart still! ,ia!
ached, but, my brni n seemed clearer, and | *
I could look my situation in the facc.
I was no sycophant; I knew that bar
well, for I loved-my aunt dearly, and
had always given her a daughter's;
willing devotuwwithout one thought ^
beyond the preseit; I even told Charlie j . 1
Burnett, to wlum I was engaged with i "ai
her consent, and whom I loved with i we
all my heart, that " we'd better bide ' a c'
a wee"?for I oould not leave my an!'
second mother to spend her last days clli.
alone, or eared for by hirelings. *
Aunt Eunice had often said to me, j
" You and Chariiewill pot have to wait 1
long,.dear child,'and I will see that boJj
your future is provided for." I did not1 v
care for mvseif, but 1 felt so disap-1 Iia.v
pointed for his suite, when I found that' ur*!
I was loft absolutely penniless. j . ?
Tthink now,as Ilook back, that after t ^J11
she became paralysed she wanted to say i *jU1
something to me about it: for as she lay : ',ea
there ao white and still, almost like a' sen:
piece of statuary, the muscles about her s?'ai
lips woufd twitch as if trying to form "la1
words, and the ever restless eyes would i wo'
turn ;ott me with :?h earnest, appealing |
look like the yeaning, pitiful expression ,
of a dumb aninialtrying to make its j v
sufferings understood. ! .
But she died and irade no sign, and ' j: .
now Charlie, must plod along in the old ,r.ie
way, and I must* try to earn my own ; Dle
living, for I li;id ni.idenn niv mind that, i t>aa
I would never bo aisiidditioual harden |
' on the poor fellow! 1 ' ;
I threw tne jewcl-c&e from me with a *. (i
sigh ol disappointment as I thought it all ;V
over, and theiuasliamed of myself, tuok ' .
it upirtgain andkh'sed the well-known ,
trinkets, in facWhe only ones my aunt,
ever wore, and put tliem tenderly away
among my other treasures? her gifts and J
Charge's?in the trunk I was packing. '
Alas, for the frailty ol human resolu- ?
lions. Charlie would not hearof my
earning my own living,and, thougji he ,j
did not exactly threaten t* commit suicide
if I refused, ne looked so utterahly . ^
miserable and forlumb bit I was forcied '
to reconsider my decisioi.
Charlie and I are quite old married , -0.
folks now, ana lour little, curlv-nated.
restless bodies tumble .about"in the R!\1'
small, poor room that serves in erf as a 'V
beci-room, sittinjj-ryomr.and nursery, jv ,
coming to mamma -with their small
hurts and pains to be kibied well again .1
and potted, while often my heart and ! ^
"head both are aching. ' I ?1!:
So many little moutlig to Iced, so .'
many little limbs to c.othe and sew for; j
right, little feet, that are never still ? .
to c over with shoes that wear out so! ^
fast.' ' . ^ i t, p
It no v.-onder that Charlie has to V',
wear li:a cui.i till it is threadbare, and ! *
nvy only best dress is my old black silk "1 i
made over again and again,which, with | ?
lace rufiles at the wrists andthroat, and j su*
Aunt Marston's legacy, forms my gala- ! pu
day toflet. , . , i the
I would not complain for myself, but tj0(
Charlie looks so pale and tired, and J o,
his cough gets worse and worse every
day. If he only could go in the country
for a month, the doctor says, rest him-, _
self, keep in the open air, drink plenty J
of milk and take some gentle-exercise, :u"
such as a little rowing or tiding, he ;
would get well? ! vli
My head aches with thinking how to ! Paget
the money that will save Charlie's us

so unselfish, deprivjug himself 0f even

toward my aunt as I rcflect on her ^is

3t dreadful interview when my cousin

my ears once more, but with a new
eaning. sc
"Ormolu would give you fifty dollars pi
r ihem," she had said. ol
"Fifty dollars!1' I exclaim aloud, bi
fty dollars means rest, country air, u
wing, riding, life and health for
larlie.
I opened the satin-lined box and j
aked at the yellow baubles, that i
liled and twinkled in their soft bed, |
if they were glad they were going to |
of some use at last.
"Oh, you treasures!" I said, and
sscd them rapturously and witii a i
unkful heart.

d mentally made away with half my
jacy, for I had bought Charlie an ene
new suit, nice, warm fl.-innels and
, and barely left him enough to pay
? board with in the country.
Harried away by the excitement of
e moment, I scarcely knew what 1 was I
ing till I found myself in the palatial ;
>re at Blank street, and heard a gentle- .
inly voico say, in answer to my ques- j
(ji: "Will you please wait a moment, j ,
ss ?" whiie he spoke to an elderly man, j ,
jo in a wbile came to me and said:
4 Would you mind telling me, madam, |
w this set of jewelry came into your
sscssion ?"
Vly heart sank. There seemed to be j
nethins: of a doubt as to whether they
d been lionestly come by.
"Certainly not," I, said. "They
're left to me by my aunt, Miss Eunice i
irston. You may perhaps remember !
it she bought them here."
* Will you give, me your name and |
iress, please."
[did so, and found that the younger!
.n knew my husband well, and also i
nembered having seen me in the store j jn
th' my aunt. ,
' Do you know, madam, what these | ,
se jeweis arc worth?" questioned the j WI
!er gentleman.
' About lifty dollars, I suppose," I ed
d.
le took one of the earrings out of the io
;e, and, giving a little twist and a
lit pressure to the small gilt knob at r
; lower side of the ball, it opened in 1
o parts; taking off 'the golden !
relope, he held up to my astonislieii m

The Reason of Birds. ! I
[ay I tell you a few facts to prove ' ''a
t birds can be, like their human j j".
nds, both reasonable and unreasons- i
? I. Several years ago a pair of my W1
aries built; while the hen was sit-j *
r the weather became intensely hot. i wl]
drooped, and I began to fear that tor
would not be strong enough to hatch w>
egj?s. I watched the birds closely, fro
1 soon found that the cock was a tie-. j
ed nurse. He bathed in the fresh an
ti water I supplied every mornlnsr, om
n went to the edge of the nest, and sei
hen huried her "head in his breast i sul

hout a sponge, what more could he jjy
redone? 2. The following spring the tjv
le bird was singing in a window with ! tfl}
ee other canaries, each in a separate , nn
;e. I was sittinz in the room and .
trd my little favorite give a peculiar
. 1 looked up and saw all the birds ,
uching on their perches, paralyzed ; J
;h fright. On going to the window to , m.'
ertain the cause of their terror, I saw , P"
irge bailoon passing oyer the end of n?
street. The birds did not move till' ?*
*as out of sight, when they all gave
hirp ot relief." The balloon was only j _c
;hin sigl't of the bird who gave the 1 cu
rm, and I have no doubt he mistook ! 8D^
or a bird of prey. 3. I have a green j

used to partake of some delicacy till dii

A Second Wedding Ring.
Samuel Bishop (died 1795), -wrote (
>me poems, the best of which is in i
*aise of his wife, on the anniversary .
f her weddingTday, which was also her 1
irthday, with a ring: I
Theo, Mary, with this ring I wed,"
So fourteen years ago I said.
Heboid another ring! For what?
To wed thee o'er again? Why not? I
With that first ring I married youth,
Grace, beauty, innocence and truth;
Taste long admired, sense long rovorod,
And all my Molly than appeared.
It she, by merit, since disclosed, J
Prove twice the woman I supposed, . ;
I plead that double merit now ]
To justify a double vow;
Here, thon, to-day (with faith as suro, !
With ardor as intense, aBpnre,
As whon amid the rites divine, (
I took thy troth and plighted mine)
To thee, sweet girl, my second ring (
A token and a pledge 1 bring;
With this ring I wed, till death us part,
1'hy riper virtues to my heart;
l'hose virtues, which, before untried,
The wife has added to the bride;
Those virtues whoso progressive claim,
Endearing wedlock's very name,
My soul enjoys, my song approves,
For conscience's sake as woll as love's.
And why? They show me every hour
Honor's high thought, affection's power,
Discretion's deed, sound judgment's sentence,
1
And teach me all things?but repentance.

Fashion's Miseries.
History gives .in account of how,
nany hundreds of years ago, Indies deleted
from three to six hours to the arranging
of their hair; and a certain
jueen was known to leave her couch at
tour o'clock in the morning that she
might have her hair dressed by ten. One
jan easily imagine, while gazing upon
the portrait of the beautiful Princess
Liamballe?the staunch friend of the unfortunate
Marie Antoinette?how much
time could be consumed in the art.
Looking at these facts as a thing of the
past, they only provoke a feeling of surprise,
and cause one to wonder if such
indeed, wjis the fashion of the iimes.
And yet to-day the ladies of San Francisco
are not one whit behind their sisters
of the past centuries in submitting
to the greatest discomfiture, pain and
loss of sleep to appear fashionable.

An Eccentric Millionaire.
Leonard Case, an eccentric bachelor
millionaire of Cleveland, Ohio, was
ound dead in his sleeping room one
norning a short time ago. His head
ras enveloped in a blanke' which held
, sponge saturated with chloroform,
diich had evidently been placed by
lim against his mouth. He had been a
onsumptive for vears. and could have
urvivea but a short time longer.
He was graduated fiom Yale college
n 1842 and became a lawyer. His
ather and brother dying left him an
mmense estato. He was very eccenric,
and it is said that a disappointnent
in love made him a recluse. He
vas a fine mathematician and a classial
scholar. Some one in 1859 having
nadp the assertion that the Atlantic
\Tontiily would not accept a poem from a
Vefctern source, no matter how meriorious,
he wrote and sent anonyQously
" Treasure Trove," an historical
ioem, which was accepted, and afterward
reprinted in book form. In 1873
ie published a volume of. poems that
was favorably received. His eccentricties
were many. When a voun? man
ie purchased ten beautiful horses and
resented them, handsomely caparisned,
to as many of his lady friends,
leeine an old acquaintance walking the
treet in a dcy'ected manner and eviently
meditating on a recent loss of
wtune, he slipped behind him, and
lacing in his hands, which were folded

the man could discover his beneictor.
One day he drove to the Cleveind
Herald, office and invited Mr. Bone,
tie city editor, to take a drive. Passis;
along one of the principal streets he
omtcd out several lots, and jisked Mr.
lone which he thought most eligible
:>r building. Bone made a selection,
nd Case said: " Well, build a house
n it and send me the bills when it is
ompleted. I'll give you a deed of the
roperty." And lie did so. Wishing
3 iiive a needy person a suit of clothes
rithout letting the fact become known,
e took him to a clothing house just
fter :in election and told the clothier to
ive the man a suit, as he had lost it to
im on a wager. A few years ago he
ralked into a meeting of the Young
len's Christian Ass^iation, laid $l,00b
n the table, and left without saying a
rord.
He never would notice a direct appeal

his help, he rebuffed them flatly,

in Cleveland, giving to the assoiation
a property worth $200,000. He

The Ventilation Fiend.
Ever since fresh air was invented has
e earth been cursed with people who
mcied themselves appointed to lady
at vast volumes, aerial cataracts
tilling torrents of fresh air to nervous,
mid, aelicate people who don't want a <
int of it. The ventilation idiot, who
as not seen him P Who has not suf:red
at his pitiless hands? Who has
ot longed to kill him? He haunts the
lilway train, and makes his dwelling
i a church; he goes to the theater; he
ivades your offices; he tramples on the
mctityof your home; and, wherever
e goes and wherever he comes, he
rings with him his blasts from GreenLnd
and theories from the stormy caves
f iEolus. And he sweeps down upon (
ou, and your peace, and your tranquil j
ome like a tornado, and he overwhelms i
ou with fresh air until you want to i
iffocate. How you do hate him, the 1
lan whose hobby i3 ventilation.? '

There la Always Hoora at the Top.
Duniel Webster once said to a young strugling
lawyer: "Young man, seek for eminence
i your calling?there's always room at the
>p." This remark lias passed into a popular
rovorb, and has received another illustration
i the wonderful success o! the " 95 For Cent,
telling Rubber Boot." When the Candee
o. flrst put these goods on the marset,
lere was a general piedictionoi failure, on
ccount of the relative high price necessarily
sked for a boot of such quality. But the
tter wortnlessness ol all other rubber boots
ad filled the community with indignation,
nd the lact tha$ the company had themselves
litli enough in the goods to give a three
lonths' warrant on them, and to atamp that |
'arrant on the boots, and to provide a place .
>ra permanent record ot therdate ol sale so as
) fix the duration ot* the warrant, showed a
egree ot oonlldence and good faith which
mpted buyers to give the boots a trial.
Lnd a trial so iully demonstrated the great
orth and economy ot the boots, that they
re gradually displacing all the cheaper goods,
olid merit always wins.

This preparation is scientifically and chemically
combined, and so strongly concentrated
from roots, herbs and barks, that its good el"ects
are realized immediately after commencing
to take it. There is no disease of the human
system lor which the Veoetinb cannot
se used with perfect safety, as it does not
contain any metallic compound. For eradicating
the system of all impurities ot the blood
it has no equal. It has never failed to effect a
cure, giving tone and strength to the system
debilitated by disease. Its wonderful effects
ipon the complaints named are surprising to
