Midnight was past and the lights of tho vessels lying at anchor in tho stream were beginning to be extingu ished, when two men hurried from different directions towards the shore. Tho elder of the two hud already reached the strand and was preparing to make a leap, the design of which was not to be mistaken; but at that instant the younger seized him by tho arnij exclaiming: "Sir, 1 believe you want Id drown yourself!" " Yon have guessed it. What is t hat to you V" This was the answer, spoken in the most atigrj tone. f'JNothing, 1 know. 1 would si tit ply request you to wait a few minutes-? when if you like, we will make, the great journey together, arm in arm? the best way of dying. With those words the younger ex tended his hand to the elder, whose was not withheld. The younger con tinued, ill a'J.onc of seeming enthusi asm : "So be it ! Arm in nrin ! Truly, I did not dream that a human heart would beat with mine in this last, hour. 1 will not neck to know who you are?an honest man or a villinn. Come, let us begin the journey together!" The older bold the young man buck and, fixing his dim, half?extinguished eyes searchingly upon tbe counten ance of bis companion, exclaimed : "Hold!' You sccin to lite too young to end your lilc by suicide. A man of your years has still a brilliant, allur ing future in Iii-, grasp!" "Brilliant VI answered the young man, scornfully. "What have I to hoj>e for ill the midst of a world full of .wickedness, falsehood, treachery und ?tihappiness? Come!?quick !" "You arc still young] You must have had very sorrowful experiences to make life already thus insupporta ble you." "1 despise mankind." "Without exception ?'.' "Without exception." "Well, then, you have now perhaps found a man whom you will not necessarily despise. I have, believe me, during my whole life, lived an houoruble man." "Really! Thai is highly indicat ing. It's a pity I had not earlier made your acquaintance." "Leave me to die alone, young man. Live on. Believe me, time heals all wounds, and there arc men of honor yet to be found." "Now, if you lake this view, why are you hurrying so fast from this world V J'Oh, I am an old, sickly man, un able to make a livelihood; a man wio can not, will not longer see his only child, his daughter, blighting youth, and laboring da)' and night to support him." "How, sir? Have you a daughter who docs this for you'?" asked the yotirig man, surprised. "And with what endurance, with what love, di.es she sacrifice herself for hie ! She works lor me, she goes hungry for me, and bus duly (he tciulercst words of love?a sweet .-mile for mc abvayp." "And you want to .commit suicide ? A rc you mad V" "Shall 1 murder my daughter ? The life which she is now leading is her certain death," answered the old niail, in a despairing voice. "Good sir, come with me to the nearest inn that is still open. You will relalc to me your history, and, if you like, I will lot you hear ininoi So much, however, will J say to you be forehand : Chase rill thought of self murder out of your head. I ain rich; henceforth you and your daughter shall lead a pleasant life." The old man followed the younger without opposition. A few minutes j later the elder began : "My history is soon told. J was a merchant's clerk, but always unlucky. As I had nothing by inheritance and the young girl 1 married was poor, J was never able to commence bin in ess on my own account and remained on ! till old age in n dependent, subordi nate position. Finally, I was dis charged on account ot my ycare, and thon began the struggle for subsis tence. My wife died of trouble, and now my poor child is wearied to gain m}' support. I cannot bear to see her working herself to death for me? therefore, it is bettor I go. Now, you know all." "Friend," exclaimed the young man, "you are the most fortutidlc man I ever encountered in my life. It is insane to call that misfortune-. To morrow 1 will make my will, and you shall he?no resistance?my heir. The coining; ight is my last. Before this, however, I must see your daugh ter, out. of pure curiosity. I would for once sec how one looks who really deserves I lib name of woman !" "But, young man, what can it bo thai thus early has made you so un happy ?" queried tbe cl-.er, much moved. "J believe it. was the wealth which my father left me. I was the only son of the riebe*!, hanker of this city. My father died livo years ago, leav ing mo more than was good for nie. Since that time I have been deceived and betrayed by every one, without exception, with whom 1 have had any connection. Some have preloaded a friendship for nie?on account, of my money. Others have pretended to love me.?again for thy money; and so it went on. I ol ten mingled, in the garb of a simple workman, with the masses, and thus one day became acquainted with a charming being, ;> young girl, to whom my whole heart .-non went oH in love. 1 disclosed to her neither m\ name nor my position. 1 longed to be loved for myself alone, and ibr a time it appeared as if I were going to be happy?at last, at last ! The. young girl and I, whom she still regard* d as a simple workman, met every afternoon on the Marcusphttx, where we walked up nud down to gether [Kissing nmny happy hours. One day my dear girl appeared with red eyes?she had been weeping?and told inc that we must part, confessing that her life belonged to another! \V ilk these words she lore herself from me and disappeared in the crowd. Her faithfulness decided my destiny. Vainly did 1 rush into the pleasures which so-called .good society has to ?fter, but found my lo.st peace of soul never?never ! 1 theu determined to bring my joyless existence to a close." "Unhappy young man,1' said the older, wipiug his eyes; "l?om my whole heart I pity you. I must acknowledge that 1 was more fortun ate than you, for I, at least, was by two women?my wife and daughter? tenderly loved." "Will yon give me your address, good sir, that 1 may convince myself bf.jiw truth of your story? It is not exactly my trust, but I sec to believe. To-morrow I will arrange my a Hairs as 1 have already told you. You will remain at this inn to-night, and in the morning early 1 w ill return, (.live tue your word of honor that you will not leave this house until 1 come back, and that you will not. in the Kteati li inc speak to any one of what has taken place between us?" "You have my word ! Go lo my dwelling, to my daughter, and you will find that I have told you but the simple truth. My name is Wilhelm S?lms. More is my address." With these words he handed (he young man a paper, giving the ad dress of his dwelling. It lay in ? su burb inhabited by the power classes, at some distance from the city proper. "And my name is Curl Toedor," hereupon said Ihoyoung man. " Take this bank-note; it will serve you till my return." Carl rang for the waiter, had flic landlord, commended the old man to his care in suitable terms, and left the house. * Y? V- .J. * Hardly hud the morning broke when Carl found himself on Jie way to the suburb where lived the daugh ter ot the old man with whom lie had become acquainted under such pecul iar circumstances. It was a poor [ place. Tho young tnau knocked, opened tho door, und involuntarly stepped buck. Tho young girl, whose inconstancy lind made his life a burden unbear able, stood before hira I She 1 ad grown pale?very pale; but he knew berat first glance; it was Bertha, whom he had once hoped to call his own. At his appenrancc tho young girl sp.ang toward him, overcome with joy, holding out her little hand. The young man waived h?r back, exclaiming. "You did not except to sec 1110?'' Tbc poor girl sink into a seat and covered .her pale, beautiful laec with her hand?. "Arc you AYillie!in Satin's dnugl - tor ?" asked young man. coldly, alter a pause. "1 am," answered the maided, tim idly. "And who and where is that other to whom, as you told me at parting, you life belonged. "That other is my fathci," nuswer ed the young girl, looking up to the young man with a glance in which spoke the tendcrcst love. With lightning quickness the truth dawned upon him; the scales fell from bis eye-?. Speechlessly be rushed to Bertha, took her in his arms nud pressed her to his breast. "Conic to your father," he faltered. "My father! Oh, Ileavcu! I forgot! Where is he? lie Iths been out all night. I have watched for him in tears the long night through." "Your farther is saved. He is with me," was GuTs answer, as ho hurried tho young girl out and through the st reets to the arms of her futliei. * * ? * -?!= A fortnight later, and in the niidst of tho*grcotest splendor, the marriage of the rich young banker, Carl Toed01*1 and Bertha Salms took place. "Appropriating" Reform. Both branches of tho legislature have agreed upon the following appro priations lor the coming fiscal year. It will bo seen at once that little of that boasted reform so much talked of during the past four months is embodied in this bill of appropria tions.
