" And s'o you are going to marry Mr. Theodore Throckmorton?" said Aunt . * -Jaiip, with a sniff of disapproval. "Yes, I beJieve I am," answered Rose. "The Throckmortons were always a stiff necked race. I wish you well, Rose?1 wish you well; but I don't care to have one of my girls marry into the ' family." Rose forbore to answer that her girls -' . were in no danger oi marrying into any fumilu " Yes," she pursued. " they've always j bad filthy lucre enough?always there 1 wine in the cellar, and their capon on ? the spit, and their brocades and dia- } ? 'mondsfor the 'confusion of the neigh- . bora.' There was General Throcbmor- J! ten, who used to lock his wife up in the . old mansion-house, when he went to sourt,for fear she would enjoy herself too J, much. Who knows but your Mr. Theo- "! dore is a chip of the old block? A ty- j rannical set, the Throckmortons were, j never at peace with their wives. There J was Tristram, the first member ot Con- ? gress from this district, or State,or what- * ever it was in those days?well, he * married the prettiest fool, and he broke . T.her heart, and they used to say that her ghost, war dered about the old mansion- 1 house; tht.t a young lady who was visit ing there years alter?visiting his son's J wife?met'her in the con idor, dressed in i "an old-fashioned changeable silk, with an ' ancient brass candlestick and lighted ? candle in her hand, holding it up to look ! at tl^e portraits on the wall. Oh, I j kfiow the Throckmort ns, root and ; branch." " But Theodore doesn't belong to this ' branch," said Rose, who was used to "" Aunt Jane's tirades. " Th*y all come from one stock?all from one stock; masterful people, the .* Throckmortons, carrying all before * ?'- *tliem; walking over a friend if he stands . . iL the way, breaking the hearts of ; women. I've even heard say that your - Mr. Theodore, with all hi3 soit manners, never got on with his wives." " You speak as if he had had a harem, I <- Aunt Jane," cried Rose. "Theodore j has never been married but once; and * if he didn't get on with her?which I don't believe?it must have been her : fault." ? "I wish you well. Rose; but I'm J thankful tbat neither Eilen or Amanda ? are going to trust their happiness to a . Throckmorton." ^ Could there be any grain of truth ? iu Aunt June's insinuations? Rose ? pondered. Of course there was not a particle in her innuendoes about Theo- ? dore; but were the Throckmortons a hard family? Of course Theo- n dore was an exception, if they were ? as hard as flint; and as for his first Jj wife, Rose had scarcely thought of her j" . vividly before. What had she been like? bad Theodore loved her? had she j? dreamed of another woman filling her , place? It seemed just then to Robe as if . that must te the bitterest thing in al 'J the universe. She wondered it Theo- ri dore did not possess a picture ot her omewhere, that she might satisfy her f cariosity one day, and judge if it had been painful for him to part Irom h(r? c what manner of woman it was who had e won his heart first. And she plagued herself conjecturing which he would 1 t L J 1 1 * . . J imve uuosen nau ue iinuwn uiem ooui I . She lelt a sort of anguish in behalf of ? this dead woman, who had stepped a*ide and let the sunshine fall upon her- t . self. \ Now that sui! reflected about it, The- 2 odore had been strangely silent, in reeard 7 \ to her, it was certain.

Wnu'fin't it be awkward? Rose , -Jacl no experience to inform her. Ferl,ms it was temperament which de- , tided. This affair, however, did not olong in ner mind; other things absorbed her?buying the last items ol , the trou?S^au, unpacking presents, the j iwrplexingNuik of making a little mon^y r do the service of a goo J deal, and tryiifc. ??n the wedding dress. Though the Throckmorton* as a family were weli known, according to Aunt Jane, in the > eishhorhood, jtt Theodore was acom \ native strangir, having married and livt d in the South for years, after a foreign education. It was only a year since ' It. se and he had met on a railway train J snowed up a few miles beyond Little ' Cnmptcn. She had bun to the city to , *. /- t'iv-.* a music lesson; he was coming J home to iook after some property thot i iia I fa'iien to him in Little Crampton. J 1 lough t'.ey were but five miles from j1 thi'stat'on. yot the stoim was so cold ?r..] blinding that oniy a few undertooK 1 ih-.!walk into town. There was but a ! t andlul ot passengers altogether. Little . Oaropton people mostly, who did busi- , res* in the city, anc .atumed at niglit; ' j*nd it so happened that Rose was the j < n'y woman among them. They spent I the night out there among the drifts, j j there being, fortunately, plenty of wood on board the train to keep j them comfortable; and under such circumstances people make acquaint- 1 ance with comparative lease. Mr. y Throckmcrton, not wishing to travel r on foot in the storm, and rather . .... enjoying the novelty of the situation,bad 11 V yet ventured out a mile or so, and forat?ed at a farmhouse, returning with a e supply of dainties which he begged 5 Rose to share. He had obs?rvedtnat k stie was bored, sleepy and miserable; F r, . he sympathized with her as a man in- 1 variably does wich a pretty woman. Why is it that beauty in distress is more " appealing than ugliness? Though for the matter of that, perhaps Mr. Theodore Throckmorton would have folded * Ins wrap on her weary head, have ^ braved the storm for her refreshment, 1 and beguiled her tedium with anecdotes \ ?^ and nonsense, all the same, had she been 11 the plainest old maid in Little Cramp- 1 ton; but then his conduct would have t $>rcv?d ?w exception to that o! bis iez, < io doubt. By daylight Rose and Theolore wore as intimate as if they had >een born neighbors; and an acquaintince begun thus, in a snow-drift, had Irifted into a more tender relation. In spite of Aunt Jane, Rose and rheodore were married, and set >ff in the early winter for his Southern home; and what a new vorld it was which Rose had discovered! >he used to wonder, during those days, f it was really herself, poor little overtrrf-irv VtnH Q riffht, UVIkCU IVU3C liiuiuivu, T? to all this splendor, to all this love and ievotion; if she should not wake up to 5nd herself in her dingy little room at Little Crampton, in her black delaine, rying to make a dime do duty tor a dollar, with nobody kinder than Aunt Jane :o look to, with all this happiness only i dissolving dream. "My life is like a poem," she said, almost daily. "I hope it will never become plain jrose," Theodore would answer. Mr. Throckmorton was called away >n business affairs for a week or so, wh(n they had been married a little aore than a 3ear, and at tir^t it seemed .0 Rose as if the sun iiad gone under a :!oud. She tried 10 occupy herself with x thousand trifles; the very ro?es in the garden appeared to hang meir neaus ind drop their petals pensively; the nocking-birds sang out of tune; the i itmoephcre was oppressive S3 before a ;hunder-storm. Rose wandered about .he hou^e and grounds aimlessly, not jnowin? how to pass the time without Theodore. She reminder herse.f of the rhost of Mrs. Tristram Throckmorton launting the corridors with her lighted aper to look at her husband's portrait; ihe turned over the rare prints in the , ibrary; she opened the old-fashioned lovels, written for a dead and gone gen- 1 (ration; she Hrew a melancholy strain >r two from Theodore's violin, like the moiiinc ai n hnnsiipp. One afternoon he bethought herself of Theodore's liary of the "war. which she had promsed she should read whenever she vanted to descend to plair prose. " It s hidden in a drawer of my private lesb," he had said. "Read it, Rosa undi,wh<nyou wish to be bored withnan inch of your life." She opened the lesk and began her search; hut the liary was not so easily fouud. A friend md borrowed it not long before, in order o fix the date of some political events n his mind. But while she turned >ver his papers and opened the drawers, ler fingers must have touched accidentilly the spring of a secret compartment, * vhich, flying open, disclosed the picure of a woman in a case bedded with X'Ui J? mm cumaius?n. riuiuan r?4w4t jreat velvety eyes like a panther's, a rich *olor on the swarthy ch<ok, and a icnse expression about the scarlet ?urve of the lips; a face to haunt ind perpk-x one. Rose shuddered beore this apparition. "Death is in her jeautiful eyes," she cried. 44 How she uust have hated to die, and leave this feasant world?and Theodore! How lid he ever forget her and love me?" ^na then her eyes fell upon a shabby itt'e diary pushed out of sight beneath he picture. 4,Tbis must be Theodore's," she thought; and she seated herself in a Sleepy Hollow chair to enjoy it, yet eelingas if that face would always come )etween herself and Theodore, unless ;he could lose herself in these pages and orget it. In fact, so penetrated was ibe with thoughts of this beautiful dead ivomnn, whom Theodore had once o\ ed, that she had been reading the iiary for an hour or .'o, had turned the eaves, and had tried mechanically to ollow the thread, before she awoke to he conviction that it was not a novel .he held, nor a record of the war, that it *as not written in Theodore's hand, ! >ut that it was a record of intense feeing and agony ?the diary of Julia Liirockmorton. 4420th.?And thi3 is revenge, indeed! fou starve both body and bouI, ; L'heodore Throckmorton ? you who 1 >romised to lovo and cherish.

Wonderful Pluck of r Fnlher and Son. The Emory (British Columbia) Sentinel, ma. recent issue, savs: Alexander Embree and his eon Walter are living 1 together on tne oia man's Jarm, aoout four and a half mile3 from the Wentworth station. A fortnight ago, while father and son were standing in the iield, Mr. Embree noticed the sheep running, and, on turning toward the foot of the mountain, he saw an enormous bear slowly creeping toward his horses, which were feeding on the hillside. He immediately sent his son for a gun and an ax. By the time the latter returned the bear was within twenty feet of one of the horses, and evidently about to spring upon the unsuspecting animal. Mr. Embree was now acout sixty yards from the bear, which on perceiving that he was observed, sat up, and as soon as Mr. Embree tired, sj;vaugforward,rolled over, and then ran away. The dog followed him, the father and son keeping on th8 traii by the blooiJy track left and the sound ol the dog up the steep and difficult mountainside, as it was almost impossible to get througu the windfalls and growth in some places. They had, however,only gone a mile or more when they heard the dog returning with the bear on his own track. On standing still for a few moments, the bear came within forty feet, apparently raging mad. For a moment the dog checked him, and Mr. Embree tired at what he supposed to be the back of his shoulder, but it proved to be the brute's enormous head, and he only struck him on the lower jaw, breaking off a part of the jaw and one lower tusk and a part oi the tusk on the other side, and that, no doubt, saved their lives. Mr. Embree instantlv loaded amin. hut when the monster sprang upon him the cap did not explode. He then used his gun over the brute's head, the second blow leaving only the barrel in his hand, and that appeared to produce no more effect than a riding-whip in the hands of a child. At this point in the conflict the bear pushed hard upon his foe, when a log from behind Mr. Embree tripped him and he Jell backward, with tho monster upon him. The bear was about taking Mr. Embree's head or face in his mouth, when the latter thru3t his right hand into the bear's mouth and caught the root of his tongue, but unfortunately his arm coming ou*; across the animal's mouth, the monster shut it upon the arm and crushed both bones; in tho man's own words, "as easily as you would break a pipe-stem." The son now came to the rescue by dealing the brute a tremrndous blow on the back ol the head with the edge of the ax, but so thick was the monster's skin and fur that it on.y made a small cut. Leaving the father with his mangled and beldess arm tho beast turned unon the son. He first struck the ax, knocking it about thirty feet out of the young man's hand, and then seizing him by one knee, "shook him," says the father, "a3 a bull terrier would a rat, throwing him with one shake, nearly ten feet." Without even a knife, the father sprang upon the back of the bear, and thus diverted the bear from his son. Twice this dreadful game was played turn about by the father and son, each in his turn attacking the brute to save the other's life. While they were under the "bear he held them down with his front feet and attempted to tear them with his hind heel, but it was too long, and only tore the earth under them. The final struggle was fearful. The bear had the young man underneath him, and in an attempt to crush his head beneath his enormous jaws, for the want of lower tusks he was livable to tear the flesh from his forehead down over lisvl/4 m r? fUn oImV Ulr, Lifts cjca, auu uuiuiu^ luc on.iu ui mo forehead and eyebrows in his front teeth, shook the young man violently. At this moment the old man caught sight of the ax, and taking it in his lelt hand, began to strike at the bear's head, the ax often coming close to his son's face in the deadly struggle, and after having given the brute ten blows with the ax from his one hand, the bear released his hold from the son's lace and fell from a blow between his eye and ear dead upon the bleeding body of the young man, who, during the last struggle, held a firm grip of the btar's tongue. And now the father, with one finger bitten off and bis right arm crushed, had to help his wounded son home, the latter having botb knees fearfully mangled and his face bitten and torn. The writer visited the sufferers on Sabbath evening and found them doing very well indeed, though they will not be able to work this year on their farm. The father is an old bear hunter, but he never saw so large a bear before. From his feet to the top of his head was eight feet, so that when he stood up he was quite out of their reach. His skin weighed fifty pounds, and his foot was five inches across the heel and eight inches long. Never did father and son show more pluck in defending each other from a fearful death. The first shot the ball passed through the bear's liver, lungs and within two inches of his heart, Rp/rryingaway part of the shoulder blade on its way. The Indians say the bear must have been about twelve years old. More Census Figures.

He was born f five years before the nineteenth cen- , tury came in, and he confronted his first j audience upon the boards at Albany in ( 1S14. His active stage experiences, as ( actor and manager, covered the period j from 1815 to 1853, and were, for the most Fart, in the West and Southwest. Mr. 1 .udlow has just published his reminiscenses of the stage. Here is an inci- 1 dent which occurred at Nashville, ai.d which may, perhaps, be accepted as an explanation of the origin of the name Mrs. Grundy as applied to public opinion: An incident occurred during the performance of the comedy of " Speed the Flow," which produced considerable , merriment among the audience. In the ? progress of the play, one of the char- t acters, Dame Ashfield, frequently men- li tions a person who, like Saree tramp's r "Mrs. Arris" (Harris), in one of v Dicken's novels, is never seen?one h "Mrs. Grundy," that in the dame's opinion would seem to be a "rural u oracle," for she often refers to her by s remarking: " What will Mrs. Grundy c say?" Now it f-o happened tfiat there ^ was a family of that name living in Nashville at the time, Judge Felix t Grundy and family, and Mrs. Grundy v was a lady that mingled with the best s society of Hint city, and was highly | respected; but, being a member of b 3ome church that prohibited its mem- t bers visiting theaters, she was not S present on ttic occasion; so whenever 11 the name was mentioned there was a general litter anil a laugh throughout 11 the whole audience. This, to the actors, was incomprehensible, until a friend ' explained the mattei- to us. .Judge | j Grundy, after Martin Van Huron's elec- ? Lion to the presidency, was marie at- s torney-general ol th< United States, e The expression, "What will Mrs. e Grundy say?" soon after bccime famil- ? iarly used by writers in newspapers :uid others to mean public opinion. 1 v - K Words About Woman.

A New York paper gives the following account of Anton Rubinstein, one o, tbe world's greatest pianists: Rubin stein is soon to make, it is said, another professional visit to the United States, having been reatly pleased with his cordial reception here eight years ago, Although little was known in this country about Rubinstein, outside of strictlj I musical cirr.les, before he had come tc America, he had acquired a very higt ! reputation in Europe both as a pianisl [ and composer, although then he was no1 i quite forty-eight. A Bessarabian bj birth, and of Jewish descent, he was reared by his father in the Greek faith and instructed by his mother, a fin( pianist, in the elements of music. His 1 parents removed to Moscow when he 1 was a child, and there, at the age of six, he began the serious study of music. H( wis, indeed, a prodigy; for at nine he gave a public concert there, and showed so extraordinary promise that ho wa3 s<nt the year following tc i Paris, his teacher?Villoing?accompanying him. Liszt heard him in that city, and predicted for him a brilliant ' future. Having studied diligently for eighteen mcnths, he determined on n wide professional tonr, and met with | marked succe-3 in England, Holland, Germany and Denmark. He then re, turned to Russia, and when he was I fourteen was pluced, by the advice of , Meyerbeer, under the instruction of i Delin, the renowned contrapuntist. At I sixteen he went to Vienna on his own i account, and taught music for a twelve month. Ho next gave a series of concerts in Hungary in conjunction with 1 the llutist HeindJ, and then went to Berlin, leaving there alter the revolution had begun, , (1843), and settling in St. Petersburg. Within a year he wrote his first opera, " Dhnili i Donski," brought out in 1852. The Grand Duchess Helen then became his patron, and at her solicitation he produced three operas?"The Circassian," "Tom, the Fool," and the "Siberian Hunters," each in one act From thai time his progress was rapid and his course upward, lie wns nine years superintendent of the conservatory at the capita], and between 1850 and 1860 composed some sixty works, some of them of the most ambitious and important sort. They included his famous ' Ocean Symphony " "Paradise Lost," an oratorio, trios, and concertos for piano and orchestra, songs, and miscellaneous pieces. He also played in public in the leading cities of Germany, France, and England, and excited enthusiasm by.his marvelous skill on the piano. During the winter of 1861, his opera, the " Children of the Steppe," was presented tin German at Vienna, under his immediate supervision, and oon after he linislied another opera, " Feramors," also in German. Everybody remembers what a furore he created in the republic, even as far West as the Mississippi, in 1872. He is repotted to have often expressed amazemeat at the popular appreciation of music in America, something ttiat he had never dreamed of, as musical appreciation is confined to the cultured lew in the old world. Since going back to Europe, he lias introduced at St. Petersburg the fantastic opera, the "Demon," founded on Mikhail SermontoIFs tale of the same name. As a pianist, he has but one rival, Liszt, and many critics prefer Rubinstein. * [Kansas City Times.] Mr. TV illiam Hadeler at the Marathon Hotel, Wausau, after extreme suffering with rheumatism, without any benefit from physicians or various preparations, waa cured by St. Jacobs Oil.?

Six Thousand lean Old. m The Ashmolean museum, at Oxford, Hl contains one of the oldest monuments o W It, fVio nrnrM if IndwH. jt 1* viviuitauiwu m uwv ?* w* . -w ? not the very oldest. This is the lintel hd stone of a tomb which formed the last W resting-place of an officer who lived in the time of King Sent, of the second dynasty, whose date is placed by M. , Mariette more than 6,000 years ago. The stone is covered with that delicate and finished sculpture which distinguished the early periods of Egyptian y ! history, and was immeasurably superior $ . to the stiff and conventional art of the latter ages of Egypt which we are ac- < t customed to see in European museums. } But it is also covered with something -? more precious still than sculpture, with hieroglyphics which shows that even at that remote Egyptian period writing s* was a complete and finished art, with TS long ages of previous development lying behind it. The hieroglyphic characters m are already used, not only pictorially V . and geographically, but also to express I ' syllables and alphabetic letters, the s name of tne king, for instance, being gj t spelled alphabetically. In the hands of II the Egyptian scribes, however, Egyptian writing never made any further pro- W . gress. With the fall ?f what is called H the Old Empire (about B. C. 3500) the I] freshness and expansive force of the peo- m pie passed away, Egyptian life and thought became fossilized, and through B * the long series of centuries that followed r Egypt resembled one of its own mummies, faithfully preserving the form and features of a past age, and of a life which 3 has ceased to beat in its vein. Until the introduction of Christianity the only j , change undergone by Egyptian writing 1 was ;the invention of a running hand, which in its earlier and simpler form is . called hieratic, and in its later form, de1 motic.
