EditliXEerrest lifted pair of pretty blue eyes to hoo^rmbaud’s face—pretty — ^ wistfulness all among tbeii e y^ fl, r 3wliaJowB. “ It is so lonesome of an evening, Har ry ! Please stay at home to-night or take me with you for a change, dear !” Mr. Forrest smiled in a very superior sort of way—a sort of patronizing, in dulgent way, as though it was the height of absurd womanish folly for Edith to have made the remark. “That is nonsense, Edith. You know perfectly well how ridiculously impossi ble it is for me to be either always at home, or take you out somewhere. You must remember that because a man is married he does not expect never to be anywhere but where his wife is, if she is the sweetest, prettiest little girl in the world!” He bent forward to kiss her, and Edith smiled—a suspiciously tear-flav ored smile it was, however. “ But I do get so tired of staying so much by myself, Harry. I am almost a stranger in London, and I am sure there are only two ladies in the house whom I know, and don’t like to be always run ning to their rooms. Harry—really I did not think you would get tired of my company so—so soon. It hasn’t been three months since we were— married— and—” And little Mrs. Forrest’s sobs and tears overcame her entirely, and Harry’s face grew vexed and stern. “You aro romancing, Edith. You know perfectly well I have never thought of such a ridiculous thing, and I do not wont to see such childishness on your part.” And, to further enforce his assump tion of martial dignity, Mr. Forrest walked out and shut the door very em phatically, Then, of course, Edith’s tears came in good earnest. “It’s too bad, too bad ! Harry is get ting tir§d of my society, I know he is, and I wish—I wish—I had never married and left home, where everything was so gay and pleasant, and there were never long, lonely evenings, Oh—dear!” It wasn’t a very good thing for Edith to be thinking—this regret for a life, which, undeniably pleasant though it was, had never been so beautified and glorified until Harry’s love came to her. But it was pitiably true that her hus band’s neglect of her of late had more than once mode such thoughts, more than once had brought hot tears of wounded pain and regret to the blue eyes that other young men than Harry For rest had thought worth their while to have smile in theirs ; and Edith was certainly very lonely. The great, fashionable boarding-house to which Harry had brought her, and installed her in one of its most elegant rooms, was not such a home as she had been accustomed to, where everything was gay cheer and girlish frolic. The boarders were, of course, utter strangers, and haughtily exclusive. Edith was resented and shrinking, and, with the oxcepnon of Mrs. Thistle, a gentle little widow, who was almost as shy as Edith herself, and Mrs. Worth ington, who was jolly and gay as she could be, little Mrs. Fon-est had not an acquaintance in all the city. “ It’s too bad,” she sobbed, bitterly, as she lay on the little crimson silk lounge, with her face all tear-flushed, and her rosebud mouth quivering. “ I can almost see them at home now—Sue, and Jennie, and Sil, and the parlor lighted up, and perhaps Howard ^iti"- liiSJS^imiment'; and^l^fank Morrison will oome in, and they’ll have a delicious waltz, and then Phil will speak of me— dear, darling old Phil ! He always thought more of me than any one else ever did—even Harry Forrest! I wish I hadn’t ever married him, and then ”— There was a little expression of dis content and indignation coming on her lips—memories that would not bear comparison with her present gilded loneliness called them up, and tt wasn’t a good sight to see on a pretty married woman’s face. For an hour after Harry had gone out Edith lay on the couch, all sorts of thoughts running riot in her brain, until they were dissipated sharply by a rap on her door, and a card that sent all ex pression out of her face and eyes except surprise, that quickly changed into an excitement of delight. Tell the gentleman I will be down iu a moment,” she said to the servant. Then she flew to the dressing-mirror, and saw that she was in a presentable condition, and then went down stairs with a smile and three unspoken words on' her lips : “ Dear old Phil!” % * * * * * Three weeks later Mr. Forrest came in somewhat unexpectedly—just in time to see Edith standing by the window kiss ing her hand to a gentleman driving by in a carriage—a handsome, dashing look ing fellow, with bold black eyes and drooping mustache—just in time to see the sparkle in bis wife’s eyes, and the heightened color in her cheeks. “Well, who is he?” He asked the question so suddenly that Edith gave a little cry of surprise. “ Oh, Harry, I didn’t know you were here ! How you startled me !” “ Doubtless. But that doesn’t explain why you were kissing your hand to— whom ?” The blush on her cheeks deepened until her face was scarlet. “ He is—a—friend—acquaintance of mine,” she stammered. He looked angrily at her—angrily, with a faint sense of pain mingling with the anger. “An acquaintance! Since when, please ! Edith, do you know you are doing a terribly risky thing iu answering any salutes from bold, fast men who, in driving by, may have been fascinated by your pretty face ?

He had them loaded on the wheelbarrow ready for plnckily wheeled them does, and this very night we are going to drive to the park if the moon is bright.” And when Mr. Forrest came iu evening, about t/ n «> < h* wai her, and she I fortunately in tn • < • <f • : rhe, home, telling ] eyed, black-mousutched fellow him that when lie had more potatoes tqj down the front steps to the ehaif dispose of in that way to let her know7>^«S at the door, and just iu time I Edith folding away her jacket. But said nothing. His whole soul was beginning to be on fire with fury and jealonsy^nd he found it remarkably easy to stajnft home when Edith was so winningly sweet and charming that he wondered whether or not she meant it, or was only trying to cheat him into a disbelief of her reck lessness. But Edith’s curious conduct—times when she was extravagantly gay, times when she was dull, pale and sad—wor ried him. She never asked him to stay at home in tlie evenings now—of course she pre ferred to have him out of the way, so that she could have her own good time with her—“ friend,” Harry said to him self, ironically, for in his very heart of hearts he could not bring himself to say ‘ lover.” His faith in his wife was too strong to admit a doubt of aught beyond indiscre tion, and yet he was agonizingly jealous. Then one evening the climax came, when Harry went home to dinner half an hour earlier, and found Edith reading a note, which she tore into fragments the instant he crossed the door-sill—tore and threw it into the fire with flushed face and startled action. “ Mrs. Worthington wants me to goto her room to-night. I suppose you will be going out, Harry ?” He knew she was telling what was not so. “ Yes, I am going out to the club.” In his heart he hated himself for the falsehood he told, for he knew he had made up his mind to watch his wife well that night, and see if his jealousy was warranted or not. Edith’s cheeks glowed and her eyes sparkled, and she seemed in a state of delicious excitement at dinner. Then she dressed in a becoming toilette of black silk, with filmy laces at wrists and throat, and rich jewelry—rather elaborate for a tete-a-tete with Mrs. Worthington, Harry thought, as he smiled bitterly behind his newspaper. He purposely prolonged his stay half an hour beyond his usual time, and then was vexed that Edith should show no signs of perturbation. “ She’s already so versed in deceit that she can control her fear and impa tience. ” Finally he put on his overcoat, hat and gloves, and went out, to take up his position on the opposite side of the street, where he commanded the doors and windows ; and ten minntes after wards a tall, black-moustached gentle man drove up and rang the bell, and in a moment more his wife—his sweet, be loved Edith, whom he never loved so well as this moment of her falsity—his wife came down, and the two were drive* away. It was the work of a moment to hail a passing cab, and the chase began, and ended at the door of Exeter Hall, and Harry bought his ticket and took a seat as near as he could get to Edith and her —her—“friend. ” It was a pale, haggard face that watched them all that evening, and a pair of eyes that were pitifully pained, and indignant, and passionful as he noted how perfectly happy the two were—how Edith, whose sweet rr serve and shy ness had been one of her greatest charms to him—how Edith was so free in her manner to him, and how admirably the gentleman returned her pretty little familiarities. It was an hour of torture to him. He sat there, remembering all the times he had neglected Edith—how she had so coaxinclv asked - uoine or • ■ taKe ner. He realized, as he had never done be fore, what a sudden ami great change it had been to her to leave her'home where there was such a large family of brothers and sisters, and, conseqently, a great deal of young company. He began to appreciate how careless he had been of the happiness entrusted to his keeping. He sat there, repentant, indignant, jealous, remorseful, neady to fly at that handsome, dashing fellow who assumed such as air of proprietorship over his foolish, silly little wife—the lovely little girl, who, not having her husband’s society, hail sought companionship else where. He never heard a chord of the divine melodies—he never heeded the storms of applause. All he heard, all he saw was Edith’s occasional low laugh, her beautiful flushed face as she turned her profile towards him. Then the performance was over. He followed them closely as he dared, until he saw them take their carriage, and then the second chase began, that ended—at the door of their house, and then, from inside his own cab be saw the black moustache sweep across Edith’s mouth—and he heard her low, sweet good-night. “ And Phil, don’t forget to drive to the park to-morrow—at five to-morrow.” “Phil, Phil!” “ It has come to the permitted famili arity of names, had it ?’* And Harry thought, as lie dismissed his cal), and ran up stairs, two steps at a time, that if ever a man had just cause to shoot another, he had. Edith stood before her dressing-case, slowly drawing off her gloves, when he dashed in, pale, wrathful. “ What does this mean ? Where have you been ?” If he thought to confront her iu a falsehood he was mistaken. She flushed crimson, but answered promptly— “I have been to Exeter Hall. Have I committed an unpardonable sin ?” “ You have done the next thing to it. Who is that—that man with whom you dared to go ? Do you know you have run the risk of losing your character—> you, a married woman, going to a place of public entertainment with a man who is almost a stranger to yon ? Edith ! have you any idea of what you Imivc done ?” • She turned her face, pale enough now, to him. “ Harry, have you any idea of what you have done? Night after night I have stayed here by myself, until I won der I did not run away and go home. I begged you to stay, or let me go some times— not always, and you laughed at me. And, then, when T found Rome one who paid me the attention you should have done, you talk, to me this way ! I will tell you, honestly, the gentleman pry, very dear to me. ! And if you won’t 11!” founded. * ;now what you say ? yon mad that you speak such awful words ? You love l” e staggered to a chair, pale as death. This, then, was the end of all. 'Tor a moment Edith kept her ground; vhen her lips began to quiver, and her (eyes filled with tears; then she went up to him and knelt beside him. “ Harry, Harry darling, I do love him, but not as I do you ! He is my brother Phil, Harry—the one you never saw. He came here several weeks ago, and—and we planned it all to—to make you love me more, dear.” And the lesson had its effect, for Harry Forrest remembers what agony of mind he suffered when he feared the wors t And he realizes that it might all have been as he feared. FAITHFCL IN DEATH. The Strunae Conduct of n S»aii Franci«co Lodger. A reporter of a San Francisco paper applied to the landlady of a boarding house for an explanation of the fact, which he had noticed, that a light was constantly burning in one of the front apartments of her house. She told the following story. Four years ago—I have held this house for nearly six years—a young man and woman came to me to rent a large bed room. They said they were man and wife. He told me that he was the agent of a business house iu St. Louis, and that he intended to make his permanent home in San Francisco. I gave them a room and they moved in. He had a lot of nice pictures, and she seemed to have plenty of fine clothes. He was a tall, dark, slim young man, not over twenty- seven, I should judge, and she was a brown-haired girl, very delicate looking, and was always singing. She’d begin at six o’clock in the morning and sing while she was dressing, before they went out to breakfast. Then when she came back she’d sing, and whenever I went in to make up her room she was painting in water colors. She seemed a pei-fect lady, and before I knew it I grew very fond of her.” “ Did he seem fond of her ?” asked the reporter. “ That he did,” said the lady. “After he came home at night, lio’d take her out to walk, and I guess they used to go to the tli eater most every evening. One morning he came to me, and said : ‘ Mrs. , Ella is not very well. We aro going to have an addition to our family pretty soon, and you’d do me a great favor if you’d drop in now and then and see her during the day, for she is getting dow S2)irited. ’ I promised I would, and store enough, she 'was'getting sort of down-hearted’ and I did'not hear her sing any more. She told me that she felt as if she would like to see her mother, who, she said, was very far away. Oiieo or twide she kissed me and cried, and told me that she felt home sick ; but she said she would not have her husband know it for the world. I never asked the poor thing where she came from ; but always tried to comfort her the best I conld.” “Did she] have any female friends come to see her?” “Not one,” said the landlady. “I don’t think she knew a soul except the dressmaker who used to come up there and help her out making baby clothes. While they worked together she used to get very cheerful and sing ; but the moment the dressmaker went away and I dropped into the room ns I promised her husband I would do, she was crying again. Well, a baby was bom, and I was wakedimJ"+«* ' - ’ T?" wiHTwWa me that he thought his wife was dying. I put on my wrapper and hurried to her bedside. The poor thing was lying there pole, and her baby lying; by her. ‘ You have been very kind to me, Mrs. -v-,’ she said, ‘ and I thank you oh! so much for it; for I am afraid I will not live to show my grati tude in any other way. ’ Well, she died, and the baby with her,” and hore the good natnred woman wiped the moisture from her eyes. “ He did not have her buried. I never saw a man so crazy. Ho had a doctor come here and take them both away. I asked him when the funeral was to take place. ‘Funeral,’ said he, ‘ there will be no funeral. I will never put my wife under the ground. What is left of her will remain with me as long as I live. The baby he buried. ” “ Well, how about the light?” said the reporter. “ I’ll explain all that,” said the land lady. “ A few days after the lady went out of the house a long box came back and was carried to his room ; what was in it I never asked him, but if you will come up stairs I will show you just as much as I have ever seen.” The reporter followed her up stairs, and she opened the door. Lying on a couple of chairs on one side of the room was a black mahogany box, about six feet iu length, and two and a half feet or so in width. A lot of flowers were strewn over it, which filled the room with a heavy odor. A sewing machine iu the comer looked as if it had just been used. Some linen and lace fringe were on the floor under it. An open work-box was on the table. The room seemed as if it had been occupied by a lady, who had left her work unfinished and strewn around. “ He keeps his light burning every night,” said tho landlady, “ and when I wake up I hear him walking up and down. What he has in that box, of course T don’t profess to know. You can draw your own conclusions about that.” “Have you seen the lid of the box ofl ?” inquired the reporter. “Never,” said the landlady, “and I never want to. ’Tis his business, and nobody else’s, I suppose. But what bothers me is when he sleeps. He is never quiet iu his room. But he pays me regularly, and I have nothing to do about it as long as he settles the extra gas and does not disturb any one iu the house.” • This is all the reporter could learn about the mysterious lodger. It seemed an intrusion to pry into the man’s secret whatever it might be. There was evi dently here a love that extended.‘•fur be yond the grave. Anthony Trollope, the novelist, as a result of his journeying iu Australia, i has, since his return to England, pro- : posed tho construction of a railway : across that continent. The project is pronounced novel, though its execution would shorten the distance between Eu- ! rope and the large cities of Australia, by way of the Suez Canal, iWeral thon- 1 sand miles, and would open to settle ment a vast country, whofe mineral wealth would be likely to rejviy the cost of the necessary work. The Doctor’s Reward. Justice Comstock’s office at Detroit had such a home-like air that the re porter for the Tree Tress sat down to hear an anecdote. It did not commence: ‘ ‘ Once upon a time there was a poor but honest baker who always put sixteen ounces of stock into his pound loaves,” but it started off as follows : Once there was a well to do Detroiter who ate too much succotash for dinner. Colic seized him and put him to bed, and so frighten ed was the man that he called out to the doctor : “Save me, doctor, and I’ll give you a check for a thousand dollars !” The doctor gave him a remedy that soon eased him, and he called out: ‘ ‘ Keep at it, doctor, and I’ll give you a check for five hundred dollars !” In half an hour more he was able to sit up, and he calmly remarked : “ Docter, I feel like giving yon a fifty dollar bill.” When the doctor was ready to go the sick man was up and dressed, and he followed tho physician to the door, and said: “ Say, doc, send in your bill the first of the month. ” When six months had been gathered to Time’s bosom the doctor sent in a bill amounting to five dollars. He was pressed to cut it down to three, and after so doing he sued it, got judgment, and the patient put in a stay of execu tion. The poet was pretty correct when he wrote : “ I know no man whom I could trust; 1 buy and sell for cash; Each day I know what I am worth, And thus avoid a smash.” '« The Russian Losses. A war correspondent says the Russians have suffered frightfully. Before their passage of the Danube, 7,000 sick were in the hospitals, and 5,000 were sent back to Russia. The crossing at Braila, with the subsequent combats at Matchin and Babadagh cost 1,200 men ; Zimmerman lost 1,000 in the Dobrudscha, and inva lided 8,000 to Russia ; the repulsed passages from Oltenitza and Glamunda cost 2,000 ; Simnitza and Sistov, 1,400 ; the affair at Biela, 1,500 ; those of Rnst- clmk and Rasgrad, 3,000 ; the march to Tirnova and the crossing of the Balkan, 2,000; Gourkho’s retreat, 7,800 ; the taking of Nikopolis, 2,400 ; the first bat tle of Plevna, 5,000, the second, 11,000 ; their repulse from Lovdscha, 1,800. In the meantime, 10,000 sick have been sent to Russia from the main army of the Danube, and we have no record of the deaths in the hospitals, nor of the num ber who fell at the capture of Lovdscha on the 5th of September, nor in the de feats and during the disastrous retreats at Karahassanhoi and from tho Kara- Lorn. In short, the total, as known, considerably exceeds 70,000 men. FOR INMTRt'MKNTS.

Queen Victoria’s allowance from the nation during the past year was about 83,033,545. The Prince of Wales re ceived 8200,000 ; the Duke of Edin burgh, 8125,000; the Duke of Con naught and Prince Leopold each $75^- 000 ; the Princes^ of Wales, 850,00{r7 the Dnke of Cambridge, 860,000 ; the Crown Princess of Prussia, 840,000; Princess Alice, Princess Helena, Prin cess Louise and the Duchess of Cam bridge, each 830,000, and the Princess Mary of Teck, 825,000. The Lord Chan- i cellor gets 825,000 ; Lord Eversley, ex- | speaker of the House of Commons, has a pension of 820,000, and three ex-Cabi- 1 net Ministers, Sir George Grey, Mr. Spencer Walpole and Mr. Thomas Mil- ! ner Gibson have each 810,000. The Duke of Marlborough has 820,000 a year on account of the services of the winner of Blenheim, while a like sum is secured to the present and next Dukes of Wel lington, but to no further Duke, on ac count of Waterloo. It appears that the nation in 1806-7 annexed in perpetuity a pension of 817,500 to every Earl Nelson to the end of time. Every Lord Ex- mouth, as long as tho title shall last, will draw 810,000 from the nation ; but Lords Seaton, Napier of Magdala, Keane, Hardinge, Gough and Raglan, and their next immediate successors iu their respective titles, and no de scendants in a furthe^ degree, will enjoy the same amount respectively. The pensions, each of 85,000, enjoyed by Sir W. Fenwick Williams, Sir Henry M. Havelock and Lady Havelock, and by the widows of Lords Elgin and Mayo, Governors General of India, are for life only. The heirs of William Penn get no less than 820,000.

One of the new autl curious miaemono of Tokio, Japan, is a gigantic image of a woman, made of wood and plaster, and dedicated to Hachiman, the god of war. In height it measures fifty-four feet, the head alone, which is reached by a wind ing staircase in the interior of the figure, being capable of holding about twenty persons with comfort. A sword is held in the right hand and a huge ball in the left. Internally the novejty consists of an extraordinary anatomical model. A fine view of the surrounding district is obtained by looking through one of the eyes, and the price of admission is only two cents. The image is situated beside the temple of Hachiman, close by the Kuanon of Asakusa, and is well worth a visit. JiY A Week. Send for Tea Circular to Empire * Tea Co., Box 1 3o» St Johnsville. N. Y.
