It fell by the side of its long, y ^ ' slim envelope on the table. The envelope J * bore upon its back the faint impres? sion of a dove holding in its bill a floating ribbon, upon the ends of which was 1 written, in a qnaiut. and fine little hand, * the direction to Mr. Kichard Powers. .1 - 1 xl i_ _ 1 _ < Again mat man groaned, iiirawmg uis i arms on the talile, and hiding Lis dis-1 ( tressed face in his sleeve. Tho other occupant of the. room sat a with his heels on the window-sill, and -' his chair tilted back at a fearful jjjrgle. ' He smoked, raised his eyebjQYfS, looked " " at his miserable cou^ujitrnTand went on 1 'smoking. f _ The letter, halfolded upon its precise and lady-l^kfe creases, lay face up- c sL wajvj, ftixl S-fotMines betrayed the same ^"'""'"quaintly girlish handwriting, all the * down strokes primlv shaded, each capi- j tal fancifully twirled. "Dear liiehard," ! it began, nnakerishlr, and then it said, | x n T 1 '?? ! i learmny, " l uuvvu i ucuiu num juu > for ko long." There was a touch of j j y tenderness in every sentence, and a [ something that told how simple the j ( little writer must have been. Somehow i ' it all gave rise to a picture of a sun-1 bonnet, and a calico dress, a pair of * timidly affectionate eyes, and a peaked " chin with a dimple in it. On the next c pape the letter went on, plaintively: "Grandpa isn't very well since he has x had that sickness last winter, and when * he coughs so, it shakes him all over. And oh! Richard, I'm afraid he never * is going to be well, again. Wouldn't it ? be dreadful to have him die and me i 1 here all alone without you?" Then 0 followed a wealth of confidence in the v words: "But if grandpa should die, I * shou'd come straight to you, and oh, ? how happy we would be then, wouldn't ' . we?" Wandering on in this loving 0 strain till the end of the third page, the letter closed with, " Affectionately, your d " . own Martha." a By-and-bve the young man in the a : tilted chair, eyeing his friend meditatively, said: s " Your letter don't seem to make you E "v happy, somehow, Dick." "Oh A1! if you could only know r what a villain I am!" was the rejoinder, s . - in a muilled tone from the folds of the u sleeve. a At last one eyebrow went up and one a came down, "Well, it's very likely." r He looked lazily through the window at a group of loungers before the hotel t ? opposite, and then continued, indiffer- i ently: " What's it all about, anyhow?" c " Just read that!" was the reply, as 1 Dick pasted " affectionately, your_own s Martha's lettor toward him." " < Fisher read the letter through care- i fully. " I should say this whs a very I sweet little girl," he remarked, musingly. 1 ' So she is, so .she is!" said Dick, < straightening up. "She's just the 1 sweetest ami most confiding little thing in the world, is Marthy. That's what i hurts me so. She hasn't a doubt that 1 I'm as true as trne blue, because she's j truth all the way through herself. And i : I'm worse than a brute, I am, A1!" " If the state of affairs which now dawns upon me dimly is as it seems, I rather think you are myself." j "Confound it! You're so hanged ] cool it riles me," said Dick, blushing. "Just imagine yourself in my place for 1 an instant. Six years ago, when I was nineteen, I first fell in love, and I've i been doing it ever since, with decent intervals between. Little Marthy was fifteen then, t! little, wild-rose Vermont girl, just us shy, and as sweet, and un- | sophisticated as that letter and all her other letters s?em to say she is; yet I feel like a boy of miietee.i in love with her again, to talk about it to you. Like ^ the great calf that I was, with not a dollar in my pocket, and 110 prospects ahead of me, 1 up and told her how I felt one day iu the spiing, when the grass was so green and the birds were singing so loud?I had to tell something to somebody. She looked up at me for a moment with such a smile; full of tears, coming into her eyes, and such a milk and rose bluch glowing upon her cheeks, and I just took her right up in my arms then, and kissed her as I'd been lunging to do ever since I first met her, six weeks before. Ever since .that she has considered herself engaged to me." "A precocious youngster you were at nineteen, I must say, and a ripe acquaintance it must have been that rooted, blossomed and fruited in six weeks." " Well, make fun as you please," answered Dick, gloomily; "you have the whole story now, and you can't think worse of ma than I think of my-! self." " No, Dick, I haven't by any means ! all of the story yet. As you are twentyfive, I suppose this little girl, now twen- ! ty-one, has been hoping and trusting in ; you for six years. Very likely she's j never permitted herself another lover. Why, it's pathetic! Every year she has thought, maybe, you would come back; ehe has never had a suspicion of you; she has dreamed about you and prayed for yon. It's a burning ,-liame! And look fet yon, violently attached'to every pretty girl you nee, riding with them, , ' two at a time, dauciug with them, making love to them and dressing like a I . dandy, when you onght to be in the Green monutains, wearing butternut j and carrying Marthy's milk-pail." i . .. . ^ Dick groaned in anguish of spirit. " And I've always told her I couldn'l afford to come after her quite vet. Give it to me?you can't hit mo too hard: but oh ! do help mo out of the scrape.' ' Help you out! Well, I should think you would be glad to be in it. .Tn?f. tr? tliinlr nf thnt, littlo Vermcni blossom, tasting like cream ami mapli sugar, I'll warrant, if blossoms ever dc taste; just think of her dropping dowr any minute among all the furbelows the frizzes, the paints atul the powder: of the ladies in our set!" "Oh, A1! don't harrow a fellow so I don't believe you imagine how deei I'm in for it. There's Kate Kichardson now, when you talk about flowers; she': a tiger lily; she's a real cactus; she's t tea-rose; she's magniticent, she's gor geous, she's radiant. Oh, A1 Fisher, can't you see L >w I love her ?" "And she?"? Ue question was like i flame springing from a bed of coals. " Well, I just thought I never was sc in love in my life. I wasn't sure abou her ; but one night, a month ago, I wa; carried complet ly away. I forgot al about Martliy, and I asked her to marn me. I3y George, she said she would and I should have been too happy alto getlier, if, after my first transport, little Marthv hadn't occurred to me again Now I'm engaged to both of them don't you see, and it's a deuce of a mess I wouldn't give up Kate if I could, am" I don't seo how I could give up Martin if I would." A silence fell between tho two then in which tho falling of a cigar as! might have echoed, and the twilight, stealing clown, came like a veil to covei silence. It was fully six months later whet Kate Richardson walked into a sleeping car at Oiuaha, followed by baggage and a porter. Her step was so quick and confident, her accouterments were so appropriate, and the porter followed hei with so deferential an air, that the passengers, making themselves comfortable on either side the aisle, looked after her with great respect l'or her style. !i Very common sort of people ; shan't make the acquaintance of any of them," Miss Richardson thought, as she observed them in a glance, without seeming to. She paused near tiie midJle of the car. "Put my things here," she said to the porter. " I have the whole section md you may pile them all 011 the front seat." She sat down upon the back seat and spread her skirts comfortably, took out !ier silk handkerchief and wiped her lips, sighed as enduring a penance, smoothed the collar of her ulster and :hought what a liore crossing the continent was. The prominent setting of a ing, visible under her glove, made one forefinger noticeable; and it might have jeen tenderness or not, but she placed ier elbow on the arm of her seat and rested her lips upon it. In the meantime the car was rapidly ^ 11TKa*.a mti/ili follr hofu'oon ililily.

By-andaye the cars gave a little shake and luiver as if rousing; then a jerk, a lizzy, gliding motion, and then Miss Richardson became conscious that someHie spoke to liei\ It was a voice that ;vas apology itself, as it said: ' DK if vnn rna'nm. it's amis ;ake, and I've bad so many mistakes;" ind it was almost a cry for lie!]). It lad color in its checks and its lips, a ittle mouth aud a shiny light in its lazel eyes. It carried a portmanteau, md the porter towered above all with a jatronizing air. Miss Richardson was disturbed. '' But jorter," said she, " I had engaged the vhole of this section. I don't want any >ne in with me. I shall have no place 0 put my things." The hazel eyes were turned piteously ipoa her, but the voice was tinged with 1 bit of dignity, albeit touched with ears as it answered: "Never mind; perhaps there's an>ther half section unoccupied." "They ain'i.'no other one, 'tliout it's i gentleman's in the lower birth, if you mind that, miss," said the porter. The distressed race was a picture. " Oh, well, well!" Miss Richardson nterposed ia a bored tone. " I sup)osea I shall be able to manage somelow, ami I dare say that we shall be :omfortable enough." Tlie portmanteau was placed as a ;nug neighbor to the stylish traps in lie front seat, and the little woman nade herself quite small in the corner urthest from her. grand companion, lever so much as attempting to steal a ,'lance from the window monopolized >y Miss Richardson's elbow. But presmtly she leaned toward Miss Richardion and touched her shoulder softly. " I am so very much obliged to you," ihe said, gratefully, "and I'm sure I ;han't incommode you any more than I :an help." Miss Richardson made her a gracious eplv, and sopn became interested in ler book. At length she yawned and losed it. The afternoon was passing. Che scene was rich in billowy green and tretching plain, and across the green evel the day was mellowing away to its lose, the sunlight falling upon it like riunowing grain. Miss Richardson felt he timid and confiding little touch gain, and turned to meet with her landsome eyes the wistful, appealing nes looking toward her. " Would you let me go into the lining-room to dinner with you?" sked the flute voice, with a tremolo of pprehension in it. "Ob, yes," said Miss Richardson, miling; " I'd just as lief vou would as lOt." "Oh! thank you so much," was the eply, after a breath of relief. "I hould never have the courage to go in ,nd eat alone. The waiters are in such . hurry, and I don't know where to sit ,nd I can't find my own car when I'm eady to come back." So it w&3 that Miss Richardson came o have a charge, and, somehow, so nuch clinging timidity opposed to her >wn independence seemed a sort of jond. Before the second day was out ;he had given her dainty and pretty companion a petting tap or two, short ind contented laughter bubbled up be iween them. confidential undertones of talk frequently passed from one to the Dther, and Miss Richardson leaned forward and said: "I haven't any idea what your name is. I think that it ought to be posy, ihougli." And then the small woman laughed as she answered: "It isn't though, it's Marthy?Marthy Faircliild." And then the "magnificent, gorgeous, radiant Kate" replied, just as she would liave caressed a bird: " Ah ! and I shall call you Marthy, then, shall I not ?" Not one dim thought of warning had she, not a single swift feeling of recoil, not an idea that she was hugging to her heart a rival?she who held swav among men with waltz, and tete-a-tete, and repartee. But under the feet of those who tread volcanoes tho ground will sometimes break ; one cannot forevei safely walk the edge of the precipice; thin icc will part. They were sitting side by side, as usual, one evening ; the window framed a calm, mild star. Sitting so silently ; how strange if they ha I kuown each was saying over and over the same name. The star was shining kindly?shining and twinkling like an eye mildly shrewd, and then it gave place to auother and another, till the night sky seemed shaken full with i lustered dust. Presently Miss Richardson began to hum a little, in her soft contralto, and Marthy's thread-lilte soprano took it up like a carol, under a breath. The men nnder the dull lamp in the further end of the car held their fingers on their cards for a moment, and the fretful baby ceased its crying. Two women hushed gossiping and stared, and, under pretense of a flare, the passing porter turned down the flame in a lamp while he stopped to listen. " Marthy," said Miss Richardson, gently, " Where did you learn that ? lt'x such an old-fashioned, sentimental thing, I shouldn't wonder if it had been a love song in '75." " Oh, yes; I shouldn't wonder if it had. I'learned it 'way back in Vermont?ob, how far away that seems now ! I used to sing it with Richard? but that seems only yesterday, though it has been years and years. I've never told you about Richard-have 1? His name is Rowers, and it's ho that I'm coming to California to meet.

' So many noble women must have loved him. But he loved his little Marthy all the time. Ah, Miss Richardson," ! and the earnest, reverent tone deepened in its half whisper, " can you imagine ; anything at all about what I tell you?" i "No," replied Miss Richardson, bit! terly, " fur there is 110 romance, not one grain of it, in my life. The romance I | had was spoiled just a short time ac:o. I Keep your faith in your Richard, Mari thy, but I have nc-ne left for man.

' Then, to show Richard how much I yet i loved him, and how little I cared 1 whether he was rich, or whether he was : poor, I wrote him a glad letter, that I i was coming to him soon, soon.

She was moving restlessly about like a wind, and her hands were winding ; their fingers about each other, her eyes ! shining and licr chin with its clelt ! pointing into a ray of the moon.

A Curious Cure for Car Sickness. Many persons, especially ladies, are great sufferers from that form of nausea and headache Known as " car sickness." A journey by rail has for them all the ; discomfort and suffering that an ocean : voyage has to the majority of travelers. A lady who had occasion to take a short ' trip on the Lowell road?and she never j travels by rail for pleasure?was, as is I usual with her, as thoroughly sick as ! ever a landsman is on the "heaving i deen." bv the time she had ridden a ' dozen miles. The conductor of the palace-car, who was apparently very ; familiar with such cases, told the suffer| er's companion that a sheet of writing paper, worn next to the person, directly over the chest, was a sure preventive of the trouble in nine cases out of ten. He had recommended it to hundreds of travelers, and rarely knew it to fail. ; The prescription seemed very like a " charm "?a horse chestnut carried in the pocket to ward oil'rheumatism, or a ' red .string around the neck to prevent bleeding at the nose. But. it was simi pie, and could at least do 110 harm. For ! riie return trip a sheet of common j writing note paper was fastened inside I the clothing as directed. Result?a perfectly comfortable journey, without a hint of the old sickness that had for j years made travel by rail a horror, it was so like a superstition, or a happy accident, however, that the lady j would not accept it us real until sub; jected to a more severe test. This came I in a day journey to New York, and thai 1 hardest trial of all?a night trip in an j "alleged" sleeping-car. Both were taken in triumph. The "charm' worked. The lady writes : " The day journey j was a perpetual wonder and delight If 1 me. I could sit up and read, and loofc at the landscape through which wf ! whirled, and act as other people do, | And still I didn't feel ready to confess i to a cure until I had tried the sleepingcar, which has always been a horror tc me. But even here the " spell" worked, I ate a hearty supper in the dining-cai ?and kept it!

An Excnralon Steamer Cnpalzed and About , 230 Lire# Lost. , The following ia a crapbic account of tho ter- ] riblo disaator by which about 250 people lost ( their lives on the steamer Victoria, while returning to London, Ontario, from an cxcur- ' eion. Tho day was tbo queon'tt birthday, a J public holiday, and as it wan tho first day of f ' tho season for the steamboats to make regular ( trips, largo crowds of pleasurc-scekera were . attracted to tho river. Three or four boats . ' mado trips down the stream, a distance of ' : about four miles, to Spring Bank, a place of popular resort, wliero the city water works are located, and thoy all took large loads of excurL sionists at regular intervals throughout the day. At about -1 v. M., tlio Victoria, of the Thames Navigation Company line, started on hor fourtli and last trip for the day, with a largo load of I passengers of all ages, variously estimated at r from 400 to COO in number. All went well on the down trip, although the boat was so heavily i laden that she shipped small ouantities of water i when the passengers surgeA to either side, i How the accident occurred on tho return trip is thus told by Mr. William Duflield, president of tho London Gas Company: ? " I saw that tho upper deck was too full, but bad no idea that the lower ono was in the same r condition. I afterward noticed that on both docks, tho people wore standing as thick as my t fingers. There was not room enough between i thetn for one to move from one end of the boat . to tho other. The lower deck was sunk to tho water's level, and in the heaving motion which 1 was sot up wator rolled in among tho people's feet, which caused them to chango their base, I and this increased the lurching motion of tho f craft. At the fatal moment tho boat gave a lurch, which displaced the boiler, which was ' set on tho lower dock, without any other sup( port or fastening, as I believe, than tho rod I'nrnifWion forn and aft. When the boat ca- , reenod the boiler and connections slid off into 1 tho water, cutting a A'ay tho timbers supporting f ) tho upper dock anu carrying it along. There ] [ was just one grea: screecli, mingled with a \ hifising sound, as ;ho boiler went down, and tlion an appalling silenco ensued. Tho trans- ' formation that took place was almost like a i . flash. I found myself standing up to the mid- ] dlo in water on a small part of the steamer j which formod a raft. My two boys were near ' mo. Ono of thorn said: 'My God, pa, look at ' i thoso few saved out of such a large crowd.' I 1 turned round and saw two small groups of sur- l vivors, ono on a portion of tho wrcck, and the ] ' other on tho shoro. Tho number altogether ( t looked very small as compared with tho crowd j > that had been on board. I felt nerved with . tho strength of a lion, and succeeded in raising up with my back a portion of tho deck and.had ! it propped up with a piece of board. Then I ! put my hand down and picked up peoplo in all ^ conditions, ono after another. While standing i in the water I felt my legs grasped by many ( hands, which seemed to bo reaching out wildly 1 for something to seizo hold of. My son Willie , told me he had tho name experience. A woman ' took him by tho log with one hand and by the ] coat with another. Her head was underneath ( tho water, and seemed to bo held there by r something. She died before she could be torn r loose. Atter a while you could seo tho peoplo coming up to tho surfaco in every direction; < somo from among a lot 01 me matcnwoou inro > which the boat's hull had been splintered, some ">;t from under the deck resting on the water. , I i'lOURbt at one time that I should be dragged ; unuor by the weight of the persons who had hold of try legs. I could not got released un- i i til they ail must have died, and I was powerless j to save tl.om." < , Mr. Alex. Hardy, a medical student, Baid: , "I was on the bow of the lower dcck of the 1 Victoria wher. the accident occurred, and when I saw the boat was sinking I climbed to tho 1 [ upper deck and dived from t!;nre to tho Lon- ' don tide. A man coming behind, I threw a post to him and he grabbed it, and I got him to shore. Ho again fell into the water, and I pulled him out. When I looked around, I saw i tho people crawling on tho hurricane dcck, and in one instance a little boy caught a woman arouud the neck and pulled her back. We i throw in somo long pieces of fence, by which , means a great number were saved, i cut my ' shoe laces, threw my shoes off, and swam bacic ' to tho wreck and saved Mrs. Joseph Reeves, 1 wife of Mr. Joseph Reeves, of tho lire depart1 rnent. Procuring a boat, I also saved Miss 3 Meredith, of London. Seeing where Mr. Meredith went down, I tore up that part of the f hurricano dock, but ho was too far gono to bo I resuscitated." t Mr. Nicholas Wilson had a desperate struggle i for life. When aware of the danger ho told his newly-married wife to cling to the railing, and 3 nvtmnnt lulnr lin fiiinid hi nisei ( in tho WateE-J" i Strcngo fo'Tiay," Sirs. "Wilson was thrown i -directly into his arms, and seizing her firmly k ho struck out for shore. On the way a strong, big man seized him by the throat, and f hung there for dear life. The whole three - must inevitably have sunk but for Mr. Wilson's I presence of mind in seizing the fellow's hand with his toeth and biting with all his force. > Tho hold was then relaxed, and with weakened 1 strength and still bearing his wife in his arms , Mr. Wilson struggled toward the shore. But a . few feet had been passed, however, before lie was again seized with a death-like grip by a 1 ' drowning man, and in tho struggle he lost his - wife. Ho reached the shore exhausted, and , looked about to sec his wife saved in some unaccountable way, and by his side. Both then ' became unconscious. ' A graphic narrative is given by Mr. James Drennan, a printer. He says: "At about 5:30 j p. M. wo wero coming very flow by Griffith's iium, aim jl wum up iu v.n|>iiwii iiuutvui uuu ! said: 'You liavo a big crowd to-day, captain.' ) 'Yes ' ho replied. 'I couldn't keep*the peoplo j off. They would crowd on, although I told them ttr.ro wcro two more boats coming after.' [ I left him then and had hardly turned away ) when I taw the water rusliing in over the lower I deck. An I looked down the staircase, I saw the water aiiklo deep down below. The crowd 1 seemed excited, and kept rushing from one side to the other. Captain Rankin told them rei peatedly to stand still and not crowd so much to the side. The b >at began to rjck, and the pasI sengers all rushed to the north side. Then the boat went over 011 her side, and a terntic crash 1 followed, the whole of tho upper deck going down with a crash. I was hurled into the water, i and my companion with me. I never lost my j prcsenco of mind, but grasped something, and oy a desperate effort pulled myself up to the roof, where I found I had a small breathing 1 1 space of a few inches between the water and the rooi. i was comparatively saiu m uuii puai'iwi, i ; j notwithstanding that au aged mail anil others ! : who were struggling in a heap were pulling 3 and hanging on to nie. The steam and hot ! J water now poured along the roof, scorching my . face and taking my breath away. I became un- i j conscious and let go my hold and sank ti tho . bottom of the river, but touching tho solitl bottom it seemed to give me fresh energy, and I struggled through a lot of bodies, and "what was . worse, a lot of wires, which got tangled in my feet and pulled mo frequently under water. I got clear of these and once riioro attempted to 3 reach the shore, and becamo unconscious, and j would have perished in the struggling mass had not sonio kind hand pulled mo ashore." The Princess Louiso soon arrived after tho catastrophe and moorod against the north shoro close to tho wreck. A gangway was projected from her deck to the shore, and at about 7r.ir. s the work of rescuing the bodies was begun. As - last as they wore recovered they wero ranged - ou the upper deck, which was soon thickly ( a covered, in some instances the bodies of chil- . 0 dien and infants being placed on top of those of , r adults. The spectacle was one that sent a 3 shudder through the spectators, and stout men ( 1 were seen to turn aside anil weep. s In one spot two babies lay sido bv side, their - "faros turned toward each other, and were it not 2 for the surroundings one would imagine they ' - were sleeping peacefully. In another placo a ' - gray-haired man lay motionless in death and a fair-haired girl alongside of him, while in anf other direction lay a woman, with a frightful y gash in her forehead, caused, no doubt, by the f. crashing timbers of the upper deck of the* Victoria when she capsized. As soon as tho upper deck of the Princess Louiso was covered with corpses tho lower deck was used, and about 175 bodies had been rc -ovcred and wero brought back 1o tho city. Here a most heart-rending * scene ensued. The bodies, as fast as tliev were 0 transferred irom tno steamer, wore i;uu m rows 1 ou the grass by the river Hide, all in their lir.liJ day attiro, and with tlie aid of torches the faces were e?cerlv scanned by hundreds of anxious friends looking for their missing ones. A goodJ ly proportion of the drowned are men in middle 1 life, and many aro children of tender years. Many were the wails of sorrow which followed 'I the identification of a relative. l'erlnpK it was j a mother who discovered her child, or the chilr dren a parent. One n an was heard inquiring 3 for four children. As fast as the corpses were claimed thoy wore takeu in charge by their frionds and removed to their homes. 3 Many prominent citizens an<1 their families 2 aro included in the number of iho drowned.

Be. | - j side the lmdy lay that of another little child, j ? i whom Mr. Evans did not recognize. An hour 1 t later, however, he took his handkerchief, and j ' | i wiping off tho little face lie exclaimed: j ; '-My (*o(l, hero's another little one of mine." ! J I Sitting nursing and weeping over the forms of | t , I is two dead children, he remained for another ! ! hour. Near by lay the form of a woman, well ! U | dressed and comely.

As the chain was being j drawn out Mr. Kvnns said: "I know that ' j trinket Merciful (tod, it's my wife ! Then \ I i my two other children are stili in the water." i, j Sir.
