' MAX AND BIRDIE.
( A Tale of tbe Great Memphis Scourge.
There was a great excitement in our little
household when Robert came home one even?
ing and announced that Cousin Max was com?
ing to visit us; We girls had never seen him,
biit'Robert and he bad spent a year together
en the continent, when our father was alive
and money was plentiful with us. Since then
our German cousin's name had been almost a
household, word for us.
Max was quite alone in tbe world, oar aunt
and her husband both dying when he was quite
young. He was almost Robert's age?was tall
andfair, and that was all we knew. Robert?
paver very good at description?had indeed
attempted to give us some idea of his appear?
ance, but was silenced by Claire aud Birdie,
who both exclaimed that they would rather
keep their "fancy picture than the caricature
they knew he was drawing. We were very
happy together and conteuted generally. We
had been able to keep the house, aud Robert's
income from his profession?he was a lawyer,
like our father?supported us very comfortably.
- Sometimes I caught myself wishing that
Claire (Claire was our beauty) could have the
"purple and fine linen" which seemed her
right, and that Birdie's exquisite voice might
be properly trained; bnt if I hinted this,
Claire would kiss me gaily, asking me if she
wasn't pretty enough to snit me as she was, and
Birdie would dash off into a description of the
life she would lead as a prima donna, and how
every night she would see old Rob and Gracie
locking severe propriety from one of the boxes.
And so my little trouble always ended with a
laugh.
I was tiie old maid in the family, Robert was
the only one that knew why, and kept my se?
cret faithfully. I had got over being unhappy
about it, and Robert and I made our plans
^ery contentedly?how we could live on in the
old'home when the others had flitted, and what
a genuine "old maid's castle" it would be. I
was to Robert what the others?dearly as he
l?ved them-?never quite could be, and we did
not think oar separation possible. ,
We had expected Cousin Max, for weeks, and
yet he came quite unexpected at last. We
were sitting in the porcii?Claire, Birdie and
I?when we saw Robert coming, and with him
a stranger, whom Birdie declared she was sure
was Cousin Max. He was talking and laugh?
ing with Robert, but I noticed that, as they
came closer, he started violently aud passed
his hands over his eyes; but recovering him?
self immediately he greeted as with a genuine
warmth of affection, which took all our hearts
by storm.
A f&Y. evening we passed! "Comiog eveots"
do not ' >?ast their shadows before," whatever
people may say. I had never known how
aealliy beautiful Birdie was 'till that night, bat
as she stood by the - piano, in her soft white
dreus, with the passion-flowers iu her hair, I
saw Cousin Max gazing at her like one en?
tranced. Claire's beauty did not seem to im?
press him at all, perhaps because abe was so
fake himself ;? for indeed they might have been
brother and sister. Both had the same regular
features, blue eyes and blonde hair. Beside
them Birdie looked like some tropical flower.
Max was never tired of watching her quick,
graceful motions, and Robert aud I had a laugh
together over our little pet's conquest.
Cousin Max was soon thoroughly at home
with us all, though Birdie still kept her place,
chief favorite. They were soon to leave the
old home, and our new brother, Alfred, spent
most of his time with us. I was very closely
occupied with my housekeeping, and with
preparations for the wedding, which was to be
m September. Robert was away all day, so
that Birdie and Max were left to amuse each
other. He was quite au artist, and greatly to
Birdie's delight had offered to paint hj&r pic
tore. The rest of us were excluded from the
studio; for as it was his first attempt at portrait
painting, we were not to be allowed to judge
of his success or failure until the picture was
finished.
Blind?blind! Did no one of us ever see
that the child smile had passed away from our
darlings face ? Did no one ever think that the
soft shining in her dark eyes might be the light
of a woman's love ?
The picture was finished on my birthday,
and' was the gift of Max to me. We were all
taken in to see it, and never since have I be?
held so beautiful a picture. Birdie's very self
stood before us, dressed as Max had first seen
her. But the face?the exquisite dewy softness
of her eyes?the lips, just parted in a happy
smilef The others were congratulating Max.
I could only clasp Birdie in my arms, and hide
my foolish tears ou her shoulder.
That evening we were all sitting in the moon?
light. Max was smokiog by the window, and
Birdie in her usual place on a footstool at his
side. He was unusually silent, and uuless by
an occasional word to Birdie took no part in
the conversation. The room was flooded with
the clear brilliance of the moonlight, and every
ooe protested against lamps. Robert and Al?
fred were arguing as to the reality of super?
natural manifestations. The possibility of a
second self appearing to warn one of approach?
ing death was mentioned, and Claire turned
suddenly to Max:
"Max, you are a German, and should know
about such things?you tell us."
His face was clearly defined by the light
streaming through the open window, and I saw
his lips compress suddenly; but when he spoke
it was iu his usual even tone.
"I certainly believe such a thing possible,
Claire. Indeed, I may say I know it to be so."
"Oh, a story I Cousin Max, a story I Tell us
how you know," said Claire, eagerly*
He smiled slightly. "It is strange, but I
have been thinking of this very subject. If I
tell you, however^ you must expect me to be
egotistical, for it is a leaf out of my own lifo I
must show you."
Something in his tone impressed us all, and
we sat very silent waiting for him to commence.
Birdie's eyes were lifted wistfully to his face,
but his were fixed on the stars beyond.
"About four years ago, I was visiting a very
intimate friend in the south of Germany. I
had never before seen his family, though we,
had known each ether for some time. His
father was a strange, fanciful man, knowing
every ghost legend and; old superstition, 'Tjy
heairt^ My friend laughed at all such, but his
sister^Grettay was a firm believer in all her
father's theories. I remained there for some
months, and before I left, Gretta had promised
to be my wife."
His voiee fell, and it was some moments be?
fore he continued... "Four years ago to-night,
I was sitting by an open"window, ?s I am now,
when suddenly I was surrounded by an over?
powering scent of violets. This was Gretta's
favorite flower, and I immediately thought of
her.. Presently I heard a step aud a rustle of
drapery. Right under my window?I saw, I
could swear to it?Gretta's face and figure. I
sprung to my feet, ran down the stairs and out
into the street, but she was gone, nor waa
there any o tu er person in sight. I returned to
my room baffled and wondering. ' 1
"A few daysvafter, I heard from Gretta; she
begged me to come to her at once. I found
her suffering from great nervous excitement,
which she bravely attempted t? control in the
presence of her father and brother; but the
evening of my" arrival, as we were all sitting
together, she left the room, making a sign to
me to follow her. I found her on the errace.
She was standing with her hands clasped loose?
ly before her, her eyes fixed on something in
the distance, and such a weird, unearthly Took
upon her face, that I hastened to arouse her.
Laying my hand upon her-arm, I spoke her
name. She started, then clung to me, trem?
bling violently. When I attempted to soothe
her, she burst into tears. When she could
speak, she told me that one evening she was
standing where we then stood, when she saw a
figure coming up the steps from the lower ter?
race. Thinraffg it some visitor, she went slow?
ly forward. . As they came face to face, the
figure raised its head* and she saw?-herself I
"I stood quite still," Gretta said to me, "and
the iking came nearer, looking at me with aw?
ful eyes. I tried to speak?to move?but I was
held as if by chains. Then something?wheth?
er it was my double or not, I canuot tell, but
I heard the words?said 'A year/' The tower
clock struck seven, and then I fainted."
"That was the day on which I, too, had seen
the apparition; Gretta hadospoken of 'this to
no one, but the impression , that her corning
death had been foretold was'dirmly seated in
her mind. In vain I argued against this idea;
she would only shake her head and smile.
"The day on which the apparition first man?
ifested itself was Gretta's birthday, and that
day in the coming year was fixed upon for our
marriage. Thinking that change of some
would restore my Gretta's failing health, I
I urged that an earlier day be fixed, but her
father was obstinate. The stars had told him
that that day would be a fateful one in her life,'
and nothing would induce him to change it.
When I told Gretta of my failure, she said
reu?y, Tou must not be vexed about it, Max;
it I cannot be your wife on earth, I will in
heaven.'"
Our cousin paused as he uttered these words,
and sat leaning his head back against the cur?
tain. He had used no word of endearment in
speaking of his promised wife, but the tone of
suppressed passion told us how dearly he had
loved her. . .
Claire broke the silence: "Was she very
beautiful, cousin Max ?"
"You have her living image there before
you/' he said, looking dowu atBirdie's averted
face. '.
I saw my pet change color, and presently she
arose and moved quietly away to one of the
windows opening on the garden. Max did not
seem to notice the movement, and soon went
on with his story:
"Time for our marriage was very near when
I next saw Gretta. Business had kept me from
her much longer than I had intended. I had
almost forgotten the occurrence of the prece?
ding year, and I hoped Gretta had also. Ican
notspeakof these few weeks of happiness, all too
short as they were. The day came. We were
to have been married early in the day, but the
pastor suddenly fell down in strong convul?
sions, and one at some distance was sent for.
When Gretta was told of the delay, she said'
quietly, 'I knew it would be evening.' The
wedding was to be as quiet as possible, on ac?
count of Gretta's health, which, shut our eyes
as we ^jould, we could not avoid seeing was
failing rapidly.
"The pastoy arrived and the hour approach?
ed. The air was very heavy, andr opening the
j wiudows, I went out upon the terrace. Walk?
ing slowly forward, I saw a figure in white
cross the lower terrace and come slowly up the
steps, near which I was standing. The form
ana carriage assured me it was Gretta, and
calling her name, I went to meet her, but the
figure passed quickly on, and vanished in the
shrubbery. Turning, I saw Gretta at my side.
" 'You have seen it, Max!' she said, in
answer to my look of amazed inquiry. 'The
time has come, Max. They do not know that
I am here,' she said, with a glance at the house,
'but I wanted to see you again. Don't forget
me, Max. I will wait for you.'
'We entered the house by different ways,
and in a few minutes her brother came to call
me. The service was commenced. My eyes
were fixed on Gretta, who was growing paler
and paler at every moment, Suddenly the
tower clock struck seven; she raised her eyes
to mine. I caught her in my arms, but she
never breathed again. And that is the reason,"
said Cousiu Max, quietly, "why I shall never
marry."
The silence was oppressive. Presently Clairo
and xVlfred left tbe room, aud soon we heard
the piano. Max looked around with a smile.
"Claire is calling us?where is Birdie?" I
pointed to the window. He crossed over to
her, and, laying his hand on her hair, said
coaxingly, "Come, song-bird, they want us."
But Birdie drew back from his caressing with a
quiet dignity that sat strangely on her, and, ex?
cusing herself, ran up to her own room.
Max rejoined us with a sorely puzzled face,
but, though he watched the door all the even?
ing, Birdie did not reappear. I always went
to her room at night, and while Claire, Alfred
and Robert were still chatting in the hall, I
went up stairs. Hearing no sound from
Birdie's room, I opened the door softly and
went in. She was kneeling by the open win?
dow, gazing out upon the winding river, just
visible through the trees, and the gleaming of
the white stones in the little church-yard on
its banks. I called her, but she made no an?
swer. Sitting down beside her, I lifted her on
my lap. Her hands were cold, and she was
shaking from head to foot.
"My poor little pet, what is it?" I asked,
anxiously. Never shall I forget the piteous
eyes she turned on me.
"Gracie?Gracie, he only liked me because I
resembled her!"
O, my darling 1 a mother's eyes might have
seen the truth and saved you, but I let you
drift into this bitter love without one word of
warning.
The next day Birdie never left my side, re
! fusing, greatly to the astonishment of Max, all
his invitations to walk or read with him. To
do him justice, 1 do not think he guessed the
mischief he had done. Birdie had seemed to
us such a child, we never thought of the
[ strength and depth of her character. Her
sunny, happy nature had been enough for us,
and we looked no further.
Robert and Max went away for a few days
together, and when they returned Max seemed
feverish and excitable. By night he was
much worse, and the doctor very soon pro?
nounced that he had the fever. When Birdie
heard that be was in danger, she insisted upon
seeing him, and after that he would not let her
out of his sight ? He would call her "Gretta,"
his "darling," his "wife," and beg her never to
leave him again; and Birdie would Bit with
her hand in his, soothing him, humoring his
fancies, and growing paler and paler at every
word be uttered. In tbe early morning, about
2 or 3 o'clock, he would become snore quiet,
and then, leaviug the nurse with him, she
would come to me. It was only at such times
she rested at all, and often she would not sleep,
but would lie watching the color creeping into
the eastern sky, with a dliiet look of expecta?
tion .On her.face, which hlled me with an iude
finable sense of dread. In vain we begged her
to give up her care of.Max; in that she was
determined?nothing could shake her resolu?
tion. "While he wants me I shall stay," she
would say decidedly.
The time for Claire's marriage approached.
We had decided to put it off another month ;
but, greatly to our astonishment, Birdie argued
against this. When the doctor came she saw
him alone, and he, too, advised us to have the
wedding. Max might be ill a long time, he
said, and it was better to have as small a fami?
ly in the house as possible, for the terrible
pestilence was launching its death-shafts all
around ub. So a week later Claire was mar?
ried. Birdie was there, pale and still, but with
a smile on her face, and with loving words and
kisses for our poor beauty, whose wedding had
proved so sad after "all. They were to leave im?
mediately ; so our good-byes were hurried.
That night Birdie told me the truth. She was
taking the fever, and the doctor had said there
was no chance of her living through it. He
had told her a week ago, that, by nursing Max,
she might save his life, but she would certainly
lose her own ; and our Birdie had answered, "I
will save him if I can."
"I am glad, so glad Claire is married; I was
afraid she would have to wait," Birdie said to
me, 0! so quietly.
I begged the doctor to forbid her watching
Max, but he shook his head : "It would do no
good; she wouldn't live aey longer for it." So,
for a little while longer, I sat waiting every
night for my darling, outside the door of her
murderer, as I called him in my wretched
heart. One morning she was later than usual.
The doctor had been with Max all night; he
left about three, telling me, as he passed me on
the stair, that Max was better; was sleeping
quietly, and must not be disturbed.
Four struck, and yet Birdie did Dot come. I
was afraid to open the door, so sat leaning my
head on my hand, counting the minutes as
they passed. The birds were beginning to sing
in the chesnut tree outside. I sprung to ray
feet as the door creaked slightly. The nurse
was holding it open, and I fancied I saw tears
on her wrinkled cheeks. Birdie was standing
I in the doorway. "It's come now, Gracie," she
said softly, as she clasped her arms about my
neck.
******
The cool October winds were blowing, and
yet Max had Dot left his room. Ho was able
to sit up all the morning, and I used to bring
my work and sit beside him. One clear, bright
day he was sitting by the open window and
watching the lazily moving clouds. He was
too weak, and I?what could I say? That
morning Max seemed restless; at every sound
he would glance toward the door, and then
turn away with a look of pained surprise. At
last he said abruptly:
"Gracie, why does Birdie never come to see
me ? Has she quite forgotten me ?"
I was prepared for this. They had told me
I must tell him. I had thought aud planned
what I should say, and now I could think of
nothing. I took the little packet which my
darling had given me, and placed it in his
hand. "She nursed you through the fever, aud
she told me to give you this." And so I left
him. Had I told him too abruptly ? Had I
told hi in at all ? Dare I go back ?
I tried the door when two hours had. passed,
but it was locked. When Robert came in, I
begged him to go and speak to Max, but be?
fore he could obey me Max entered the room
where we were. He looked ten years older,
and his face was inexpressibly sad. Robert
held out his hand to him with a few kindly
words of congratulation upon his recovery.
"I must be well," Max said gravely. "I leave
to-morrow, aud I want to thank y?u now for
all your kiudness, when you had such reasons
to hate me. But believe me, I never dreamed
that?" His voice failed him as Birdie's cana?
ry, hanging in the window, just then trilled
forth to ioyous song. Covering his face with
bis hands, he hurried out of the room.
I am glad that while he stayed we were able
to be kind to him. Before he left he came to
me:
"Gracie, forgive me, if you can. Believe me
your angel is avenged."
I kissed his forehead and bade him "God?
speed." And our cousin Max dropped out of
our lives forever, leaving no memento of his
visit, save the picture that hangs before me as
I write?Birdie in her youth and beau-y, with
the passion-flowers in her hair?only that, and
a grave in Elmwood cemetery.
The Seven Sleepers.---"It would awaken
the seven sleepers," is a common saying; but we
venture to say that half who use it do not
know itsorogin.
The legend runs that seven noble youths of
Ephesus, during the persecution of the Chris
tiaus by Decius, a Roman Emperor of the
third century, fled and took refuge in a cavern,
and having been pursued and discovered, were
walled in aud thus left to perish. They are
said to have fallen asleep, and in that state
were, miraculously preserved for nearly two
centuries, when their bodies having been found
in the cavern, were taken out and exposed to
the veneration of the faithful. Then it was
said those holy martyrs were not dead; that
they had been hid in the cavern where they
had fallen asleep, and that they at last awoke
to the astonishment of the spectators. Tbe
spot is still shown at Ephesus where the pre?
tended miracle took place, and the Persians
celebrate annually the feast of the Seven Sleep?
ers.
? "Father, was Greeley elected ?" asked an
unsophisticated twelve-year old of his Repub?
lican sire. Starting up with astonishment the
latter answered, "No; why do you ask such a
question ?" "Because," said the boy, "you
said last fall if Greeley was elected there would
be a panic, and everybody says there is a panic
now, so I thought that Greeley must be elect?
ed."

Dr. January and Cancer!
THE celebrity of the January Infirmary,
established in Murphreesboro, Tenn., in
associated the above name with the treat?
ment of Cancer until they became synony?
mous, both passed away with the Avar. But
great discoveries, like truths, live forevor. Dr.
J. O. January, inheriting his father's talents,
and improving on his experience lias achieved
a success in advance of their former history,
owing to his increased patronage he has perma?
nently- located in St. Louis ; the numerous let?
ters ho is receiving, and large arrival of pa
tients, justify his move to this central point.
We would advise all afflicted with Cancer,
Scrofula, Fistula, Piles, Ac, to apply to him,
as he possesses perfect control of those diseases
without pain or the knife. Address,
