Duncan Hnlcroft was Hying f What
ailed her head ? Why did her heart
beat so heavily and slowly ? Die !
Could the wide world hold so much
misery as pressed her down ? Like a
lighting flash she read the canse of alF
h*r restless craving since she had left
New York* Sho loved Duncan IIolcroft,
king amongst men. She had
walked away from her own paradise,
closing the door, and Duncan Holeroft
would die, and never know she had
loved him.
At the hotel where they had stopped.
Why it was close beside them. She
could foe there in ten minutes.She
never paused to think of propriety.
Wrapping h?r head and shoulders
in a fleecy white shawl, she sped along
the street, thankful for the gathering
twiliglit. The waiters stared, but led
her to the room. At the door she paused.
Sho could see a Sister of Charity kneeling
beside a high bed, could hear a faint
voir*-say:
She is here, io Rome. When I am
dead carry my message. Tell her I
loved her to the last. Toy will ffnd'ner
at tho address I gave you. Genrpina
Gilroy! Yon will not forget the name ?'
Trembling and white, Georgina CTept
in, softly laying her hand upon the Ulster's
shoulder:
I am Georgina Gilroy,' she whi8'
pered, very low. i
Bot low as it was the whimper reached
Duncan Ilnlcrofl's ears, and a smile
lighted his white, wasted face.
Little Georgina.' ha said faintly,
darling, have yon come to say fare

sob in her voice I hnv? come to pray

Tattlers.
Every commuoity is cursed by the (
presence of a class of pedpie who make it
their business to attend to everybody's (
business but their own. Such people
ire the meanest specimens of depraved
humanity which an All-wise Providence
permits to exist on this earth. It is wellknown
that almost every person is some- 1
times disposed to speak evil of others, '
and tattling is a sin from which very few 1
can claim to be entirely exempt. '
But the object of our present article
is to speak of that distinct class or tat- 1
tiers who make talebearing the con- 1
slant business of their lives. They pry '
into th" private affairs of evpry family !
in tho neighborhood; they know the
exact state of one neighbor's feelings
toward another; they understand everybody's
faults, and no Tittle blunder or
misdemeanor evr ercapes tbeir vigilant
watchfulness. ?Thcjr are particularly
well-posted upon evnryfhing conneejpd
with courtship and matrimony, know
who are going to tunrry whom, and can
gness the Qxact time whoo it will take
plaee. They, watch every movement of
parties suspend of matrimonial intentions.
and if thfrc is the slightest chance
to create a disturbance, cxcitc jealousy
or 'break up' a match, they take immediate
advantage of it and do all in their
nower to keen people in a constant state
cf vexation. The* glide quietly from
gentlomnn to .lftflf, from mother to
dnughfpr, from father to son ; and in
the ears of all they pour their dark, hitter
whispers of slander anil abuse, and
at the same time preteud to bo the moat
sir.ocre friend af*fhoBC My tnlV to..
Their black and nnu?eous pills of ra?1icione
slander and sugar-coated with
smiles and honey words of friendship.
Bo Kind to Your Wife.
Friend, your wife loves neatness; now
when you enter that home which she is
trying to moke attractive to you, sec that
you show a corresponding desire. You
liko to sec your wifie neatly and tastefully
dressed at home; follow example, and
throw off, with the care of tho world,
yonr soiled garments and be clean and
tasty. When you take your paper to
read do not read to yourself and leave
her to lonesome thought? while sewing
or niendiug, but remember that she, too,
has been working hnfd all day, and is
still working. Read to her whatever
interests you, so that her opinious may
grow with yours and that she may comprebend
something besides love stories,
of which too many have read more than
they should.

the heavier because they will not look
abroad to see the load on their noighbor.
Sorrow is often turned from bitter to
sweet, when wo open our hearts to share
it with auotber.
A certain prince was overwhelmed
at tho death of his daughter, quite
sure that no one else had been thus
afflicted. Whereupon, a wiso man of
his cpurt promised to do an impossible
thing. "I will restore thy daughter
to life," snid he' "provided thou
art abls to engrave on hor tomb tbe
antes of three persons who have not
mourned." The sorvants of the prince
were sent at once to search the country.
Tliev went into cities and villages, and
even into houses' asking ail manner of
questions. They sat for hours, perhaps
watching and listening, and taking notes
of all they h^ard. They went even to
tile cemeteries and read the name
and epitaph on each- tomb. Kich and
poor, high and low, were alike
visited and obliged to tell their family
affairs. At last, after much travel and
earnest endeavor, the servants returned,
and declared that their search had been
in vain. In ull the kingdom no one was
to be found who had not at some time
felt the pangs of grief. Tho prince,
turning to tho sage, acknowledged ' his
want of undstandinc. and promised that
he would find relief from his own sorrow
by seeking to comfort others.
The Buffalo
This is tho way buffaloes are hunted
on tho staked plains of the far South',
west: The buffaloes collect in countless
herds for water, and it is at the water
holes they are captured. The leader is
Grst shot by u long-range gun, this demoralises
the herd, and tho shooting
may be continued at pleasure, They
are killed for the vnluo of their hides,
stijiteighty or ninety cents, and the carcases
aro left to perish. Two hundred
thousand head ,havo already been
slaughtered, and it is estimated there
will be threo hundred and fifty thousand
killed before the season is over.
Though you aro bound to love
your enemy, you are not bound to put

to this day : "Our people are too '

Ilow could she be given up? between
this child and her father there always
existed, not a relationship merely, but
the love of congenial natures. He fell

keep her out; can never mount a scaffold
too high for her to reach, that sho may

deathless love. When thb world shall
despise and forsake you, when it leaves
you by the waysido to die uunotioed,
the dear old mother will gather you in

and tell you of all your soul is disfigured
by vices. Love her tenderly and cheer
her declining years with hoty devotion.
