'I cantiot recommend you, be
lieving you to be a thief, but I
will be so merciful that I will let
you depalt.' Go at once.'
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

twenty-dollar g6ld piece, with ']
I M,' scratched with a pin in ot
corner.
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. If [ had not lI

not .have given me my gold
talisman.'

but the eyes of the little one we

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

'What is the matter with1

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

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

'Did your nurse take the baby t
over to Staten Island some three ap
Id or four weeks ago?' 'Yes, every st

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

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

doctors could do was to ease its G

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

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

ras wonderful praying doctor who had ft

as and, folly armed with an actual sI
en, bodily ailment, I rang the door tl

'Can I see Dr. Mende?' 'Yes; 1 ai

TWELVE WAYS OFCOMMIT
TING 8UCIDE.
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,

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.
