The voice and face were stern and unyielding. Geoffrey Baird know that all the piteous appeals-e had.miade,the as vertions of innocence he had franti. cally declared had fallen upon ears not indeed deaf, but closed to .him. 'You have been very kind to me, Mr. Hoyt,' he said,4iis voice. quiver-n'g Mithpain, 'and I hope some day y9u wili know that I had rather cut off my right hand than'let it rob you.' - There was no reply, and the boy, for he was only nineteen, walked slowly from the room, where he had been accused of crime,.oudemned and punished- in a brief half hour. He was a widow's only son, and very poor, but Abraham Hoyt had been very kind to him, employing him in light labor about his ex tensive grounds, and trying him well, and allowing him io read whatever he wished in his library. And from the library a valuable watch and chain had been stolen from a table drawer, when there was no .one as far as could be as cert'ained, in the room but Goof frey Baird. Crust,ed, humiliated, almost heart-brokea. the lad walked from the house across the wide gar den, .bright with summer bloom that seemed to mock his misery. He had his hand upon the great iron gate leading into the road, when he heard his name called, in a clear, childish voice. 'Jeff, Jeff! Oh, wait a moment !' And then, turning his heavy eyes, he - saw a. fairy. of tensu mers, a golden-haired darling, dressed all in white, coming dowin the broad .walk with flying feet. 01 all the treasures his employer possessed, Geoffref knew this, his only - child, was the .dearest. Motherless from her birth, she had,. been her father's idol her whole petted life. 7 'Jeff,'s she panted, coming to his 1ide, 'you must' go away, papa says, but I know you never, never took the watch ! Did you ?' 'No, Miss D)aisy, I never took it.' .'I know it ! I'm going to find out w.ho did take it. And Jeff,1 you mist. take th.is.' She opened her tiny white hand to show .lying upon the palm a broad twenty-dollar gold piece. But the boy shrank back. 'No, no, Miss Daisy,' he said 'l cannot.' But you must. It is my own, my very own. Aunt Louise gave it to me on- my birthday. .In t,h corner 1 scratched 'M. H.' for Mar garet Hoyt, with a pin, but I guess it won't hurt it. Please please, dear Jeff; do take it.' She pressed'-it into his reluctani hand and then throwing her armi *around his neck, kissed him witi 'her child lips; shfing: 'I will find out who did take the .watch, Jeff, and then you wil come back.' .Bi.re he could answer she wai spee'ding back to the house her flying curls out on the summer air that wafted to Geoffrey a last Good by, dear Jeff.' With a heavy heart he went homeward, to teH biss~brrow-and disgrace. He fdai-ed it ivould al most kill his fihbte*r, but aft'er hearing him patient, she said: 'I ha a Leie from Albany this morning, Geo'ffrey', fromrnm fath er's lawyers. Twenty-fiv6 years ago my father cast we off for marrying a poor man. He died without forgiving me but to.you he has left his fortune-nearly half a million in money upon cn dition you take his name when you ave of age. I have packed up your. possessions, and we will go .to Albany to-night. 'Margaret! The voice was sharp and imper a.tive, and Margaret Hoyt, looked up from the task of teaching Alice Bris'tow her letters, to answer, -but before she spoke the beautiful girl who entered the school-room ,aid: 'Margaret, I want you to come and show Elsie how to trim my dress-for to-night. Everybody said you had rich exquisite taste before your father failed and died.' The pale, patient face flushed a little at the cruel words, but Laura Brist.ow did not heed the pain she had given. 'Come now,' she said impatient ly; '1 want to look particularly well, for Willard Wharton is com ing. It is the first party since he came from Europe. He has been vegetating in Florence ever so long, wi h a consumptive mother; but she died a year ago, and after traveling. -bile he has, come home. Diu you know him?' 'I never heard the name.' 'Come to think of it, he left long before you came.' Alice's primer was put aside, and Margaret accompanied Laura to the room where her finery was being prepared for a brilliant par ty a few hours later. 'Miss Hoyt,' Miss Bristow said looking up from the cloud of tulle under her fingers, 'I wish you to come down to play, and I wish you to wear whi,te.lace ruffles and a white flower or two in your hair. That will not interfere with your mourning, but you will look a lit tle less like a mute at a funeral.' To hear was. to .obey. Mrs. Bristow was a distant connection of Mr. Hoyt's and when he died leaving his only child to poverty, the lady imnpressed upon stricken Daisy that she was placed under an enormous weight of obligation by being permitted to be govern ess, lady's maid, general useful factotum in her family. But the soft violet eyes had lost nothing of their sweetness; the golden hair gathered into a ricb knot, was full of wave and ring lets, making tiny baby c.urE around the delicate oval of het pale face, and the sensitive mouth was still expressive and lovely. She sighed a little, as she pul the soft white ruffle into her black dress, and a few white floweri into her hair. 'It seems like forgetting pooi father,' she thought, but yet sh< knew her appearance had been toc gloomy for a festive occasion. The guests were gathering, anc Daisy had gene into a small sit ting-room opposite the wide draw ing-roomns to ivait until she wai summoned to sing and play. She had never been in societ) in .Albany, and knew none of Mr Bristowv's friends, so she was gra ciously excused from taking anj more. active part in the socia gathering than to amuse by he] singing, or help willing feet alonh by playing dance music. She tras turning ever the leave: of a new magazine, quite sure o being uninterrupted when the doo: opened,.and looking up she saw strange gentleman. 'Pardon me,' he said, 'I though this was the drawing-room.' Then, as she lifted her face, h sprang forward. 'Daisy ! Daisy !' he said, and no realizing the familiarity of th address, she rose to stretch ou both hands, saying: 'Jeff! Is it Jeff!' 'It is Jeff,' he answered, 'or rath or it. is Willard Whart.on.' Then .moving a chair near V one she had decupied, he toldh of his grand-father's legacy at the '61ng< ofname. 'Through d 'y ears prosperity and the et Mth assails all o I d golden talismai,ito ke ea pure and te that I mi on day dare tdMg it to ofee be said.

In -the drawing room Mrs. Bri tow wondered what detained ot hero for the evenin'g; but wh( he came ir-at &-slie-i'ead nothim of the secret that was in his happ eyes. - - She saw his cour~teous attentic to her governes., but attribute to the innate courtesy of ti young millionaire, and Daisy sat as if inspired, and threw a showi of fantasies into her waltz at gallop music. But when Miss Hoyt was ask' for in Mr. Wharton's calls, wh4 the stylish turnout that was a mired of all Albany stood at tl door for Miss Hoyt to drive, Mr Bristow grew savage. 'You are too forward with stra gers,' she told Daisy. 'But Mr. Wharton is an o friend. I knew him when I wo a lIttle gi-A, and-and we are be married in . the spring,'-sa blushing Daisy. And considering Mr. Whartot wealth and position, and his futu wife's probable influence in soci ~ty, Mrs. Bristow wisely made tl best of it, and Daisy was provi ed with a trousseau and a weddii party, for 'Your great kindness Allie,' said Mrs. Bristow grac fully. Not until they. bad been son daysmarried did-Wiliard-Whar< say one day carelessly. 'By-the-by, Daisy, was th watch ever found ?' 'Yes, Felix was arrested E months afterward for steli some of the plate, and in his trui was the watch. Papa search faithfully for you, but you h; vanished as if the earth .had sw lowed you.' 'I knew it would turn up s'o where,' said Mr. Wharton, quiet: 'and perhaps now it is just as w it wasa missed.

A Woman Doctor Working Miracles. special Corresponidence ot the Times NEW YoRK, July 21.-Some fC weeks ago, while crossing fr< Staten Island to New York wi the little ones,.*every one notic a little child in its nurse's arn It was apparently a year old, I bad wasted away until it wa mere shadow ; its forehead vi drawn hack and glazed; the n< pinched, and the mouth looked if it had lost all power of acti< but the eyes of the little one we supernatu rally bright and it enj' ed the beauties of the sunset sec ery in range of its gaze, now a then feebly turning its little he to look in the face of the pityi nurse wiLh a weak smile of proval. 'What is the matter with1 baby ?' 'The doctors don't se to know ; they have given him1 so wve are trying the salt air sai Upon further questioning I fon tbe child's bowels were serioul affected, and vet its food hadhbe so long as it would eat, barl water and oat-meal gruel and hilk! It is one of the myster how the mass of chil.dren live a thrive. 'Yhy don't you give'i child milk ?' 'Baby don't seem like the milk we get. It is ] very good.' 'Have you ever tr condensed milk ?' 'No ; is it g for babies?' 'Yes. Ask the d . tor if you can use it, and toc ta,uomful of t.he ..ilk pour o1 ie cup of boiling water.' The child foi er -had also sonie lung trouble, cough- to d ing every few moments, and yet stl the nurse had neither sacque for by of the baby nor shawl for herself, sy %t when-in that bold sea breeze eVen an a heavy wraps'.Were acceptable to tL rt well people. Poorlittle child! I atl te never expected to see it again, for mi ,' it could not possibly live but a few sh days, so my children bade it a I y tearful farewell. 'Y e The sequel is more pleasant. A bo o.- few days ago, while attending to ex ir some business in Grand street,- wi ~a chance took me into a strange ciE 1. store, where I was waited upon .ob ke. by a very interesting.saleswoman, fe1 evidently the proprietor's wife. tir a- Motherly women will talk about yO ir children you know, and the lady inE n said that she had three darlings, di( g two little girls and -a sick baby yo y boy, who had been ill f:r months,. pr given- up by the doctors and had n been lying at'the point of death id until this week. wl e A WONDEEFUL DOcTOR. lit , g Better now, is he?' 'Oh, yes; very much better, and. if you have kd time, I would like to tell you di * about it.' My thoughts went.back ,d to- the sick child on the Staten all Island ferry bo'at; but surely that d- child could not be alive still; it ie was almost dead when we saw it; th still .I questioned. ln .- mi 'Did your nurse take the baby t over to Staten Island some three ap Id or four weeks ago?' 'Yes, every st I afternoon, until the child became Ot to too weak for the-trip. Why do an d you askT I explained. The nurse M was called and remembered the m ,s lady. who 'had such a pretty , re baby-boy and two dear little girls, 8 and suggested condensed milk for ie the sick baby,' and then the moth d. er's .heart opened and the story H was told of 'how baby had failed in to after that day, could-take no nour ishment for over two iveeks and only lived on drops of brandy. a ie forced through closed teeth, and hardly breathing, it seemed like a dead child, only its eyes opened C at and closed intelligently. All the doctors could do was to ease its G i sufferings; the child, they said, in must die. Then I heard of a wo- ci ak man doctor who had done marvel ed ous things for the children of the a,d very poor, and hardly hoping I al- took the child to her. I de not know what she did to the baby, Li e-. but she bent over him some time and prayed earnestly that his lit el tie lips might be unclosed. She fLgave me no - medicine, but tull di ht rect.ion as to how we were to care S enfor baby, advised- condensed milk prepared as you said. I did as she told me, and in two hours my child - had opened his mouth and taken, o without being forced, a spoonTul t -.of the milk ; since then he has cat en regularly-but you can see him di yourself.' Poor little mite ! As h he sat upright in his nurse's arms I wondered if he had not seen the other world, he was so et.herial, - ur and he seemed strong and bright, Is >mn and like an old acquaintance he pi t.h held out a thin tiny hand and N ed smiled recognition. 'Ie seems to fc s. .know you,' saidI the pleased .moth- fc ut er. Womanly curiosity prompted ri s a your correispondent to visit the ei ras wonderful praying doctor who had ft )s brou,ght to life a nearly dead baby, st as and, folly armed with an actual sI en, bodily ailment, I rang the door tl are bell of an unpretentious ho'use on oi y-L street. The open front deor da an. disclosed a very large hall covered ti nd with clean oil cloth,' and in re- is ad sponse to the summons a comfort- cl ng able German girl, clad in sweeping s( p. apron and cap, came to the door. te 'Can I see Dr. Mende?' 'Yes; 1 ai he am the doctore Come in.' a em The room was very neat and tc ap, cool, with fresh carpet and com- s iS.' fortable seats, a plain piano and. b; nd marble tables.

My rapathies were all enumerated d.embellished. with the remark it the- doetors I had consulted. ,ributed the difficatty to t0 ich brain work. With a smile 3 showed a doubt as to whether had any brain or not, she said: )ur trouble, madam, is purely lily. The mental condition and areis has nothing to do witb at you suffer. . Take thq medi e I will give you regularly and serve my directions and in a r weeks you will be cured en ely. 'The medicine ? I thought a cured by prayer?' 'In some tances where only change of t and care is necessary; but for a, a little medicine as well as Lyer will be beneficial.' THE EFFECT OF STARVATION. Sly own case settled, I inquired at was the matter. with the ie~ child from Grand street. ant of proper food, too much )dicine, too much exercise in -ong seabreeze for its feeble eon ion and exposure to damp night . 'Will prayer care the child?' ith a smile: 'yes, if they close follow the rules I have given em in caring for baby and rega ing its diet.' 'Was that your )st serious case?' 'Oh, no; some nes babies are brought to me parently dead, the effects of trvation, want of care and heat; hers are in an absolute decline, d they are n-ot strong and well. any grown people have come to e, too, after the doctors have wen them up, and I have been ecessfal in relieving or caring em in nine cases out of ten.' 'Tell me something o y.urself. ow long have you been practic 'Since mother's death, four years ,o. I studied medicine with her d have filled her place.' 'Then you do not attribute your ccess to any supernatural agen .9. 'No; only to the goodness ol Ad, who has given me a faithful sight into the sufferings of. Ri ildren and enables me to reliev( em.' 'Have .any. newspaper people ,er been to see you?' The answer: 'Never; my pa ents are all poor,' showved that e knew nothing of tibe impecu ous class called 'reporr,ers.' 'What are your charges?' '50 cents, including medicine t me; -25 cents, to others anc >thing to the very poor.' She rgot to mention, what I had fore leareed, that the, 'very poor ten were made happy by dona 3ns of the fifty cents received b3 e praying doctor for her atten ~nee upon the very rich, wh< >nored her with their confidence SINGULAa ANIMAL Fa[ENDSHIP *Mr. Adams, of Van Shaiek is nd, says the Troy Press, is th< 1ssessor of a bay horse and blaci ewfoundland dog, who hav< rmed a wonderful attachment r each other.

A medical paper thus enume rates the fashionable modes of committing suicide. 1. Wearing of thin shoes and cotton stockings on damp niglts and in cool, rainy wea'her. Wear ing insufficient clothing, and es Oecially upon the limbs and ex tremities. 2. Leading a life of enfeebling, stupid laziness, ande keeping the mind in an unniatral state of ex. citement by readivig trashy novels. Going to theaters, parties and balls in all sorts of w9ather in the thin nest possible diess. Dancing un til in a complete perspiration, and then going home wit0out suffi eient over-garm'ents through the cool, damp nig#t air. 3. Sleeping on feather beds in seven by nine bedrooms, without ventilation at the top of the win dows, and especially with two or more persons in the same small unventilated bedroom. 4. Sarfeiting. on hot and very stimuhating dinners. Eating,in a hurry without half masticating the food, and eating heartily before going to bed, whe'JJe mind and body are exhausted4y.the toils of the day and the excitement of the eve6ing. - 5. Beginning in chifdhood on tea and coffee, and going from one step to another, through chewing. and -smoking tobacco and drinking intoxicating liquors, by physical and mental excess of every de scription. 6. 3.arrying in haste and getting an uncongenial companion, and living the remainder -of life in mentadigiatisfaction; cultivating jealousies and. domestie broilsand being always in a mental ferment. 7. Keeping children quiet by giving them paregorip and cor dials, by teaching them to suck candy, and by supplying them with raisius, -nuts and rich eake; when they arestiek bygiviogthem mercury, tartar emeticiagit%senic under the mistaken notn that that -they are medicines and not irritant poisons. 8. Allowing the love of gain to absorb our minds so as to I*Ve no time to attend to our hea:thW; fol lowing an unhealthy occupation because money can be rmade by it. 9. Tempting the:appetite with bitters and niceties when the stomach says no, and 'by forcing food into it yhen nature does not demand, and even-rejects it; gor mandizing between meals. 10. Contriving to keep in a con tinual worry about something or .nothing ; giving iw ay . to fits of anger. 11. Being irrogular in all our habits of epigadatng, going tobid at mid night and get tigup at noon,eating too much, oomany kinds of food, and that 12. NegTdtiny' to take proper care dfours'elves, and not applying early, or medical advice when dis ease- first atppears; taking cele brated- quack medicines to a-de gree of making a drug shop of the body. The above causes produce more sickness, suffering and deatih than all epidemics, malaria and conta Sgion, combined with war, pesti lence and famine. Nearly all who have attained to old age have been Iremarkable for temper, correct habits of diet, drink and rest; for temperance, for'6ieerfilness and morality . Physical punishment is sure to visit the transgressor of nature's laws. All commit suicide; and 'out off many years of their natural life who do not observe the means of preventing disease and of preserving health. The Sunday is the core of our civilization, dedicated to thought and reverence. It invites the noblest solitude and to the no blest society. -What are a few years of what men call sorrow and burden-bear ing to an eternity of blessedness ? Trouble and perplexity drive me to prayer-and prayer drives away perplexity and trouble. This line fills the column.
