I wrote to Mrs. Stevenson, and her
answer was very brief.
"I haven’t mnch time to write,” she
is sick,
and beside being driven I'm anxious.”
This letter was in my pocket on that
day when Angelina and I went together
to the bazar for the benefit of the
Church of St Matthew.
After we had roamed about the bazar
and bought all sorts of knick-knacks, I
escorted Angelina to a seat, and then
aat down to wait while one of the ladies,
who, "on this occasion only,'’ was doing
good, onerous, hard work, brought us a
tray of refreshment

women sat down at the next table, with

The summer passed ; October came.
Angrlma returned to the eity and wrote
to me. It was while we were sating
peaches and cream in the back porch
that evening that I said to Mary, " I
will tell you a secret, if yon will keep it
form while, Mary.”
" Oh, of course, I will, Mr. Mactag-
"1 am going to he married this an-
tumn, Mary," I said. " These pretty
letters yon always thought came from
my sister are from the lady who is to
marry me. She is very beautiful, veiy
rich, very stylish, but very kind. Yon
most Coaae mid see as, Mary, when we
are married. I shall tell Angelina h*w
good you have been tome—what a sweet
little sister I found ont here in Vale of
Croix. Why, Mary—”
For, aa I spoke, 1 felt the little hand
I held grow cold and heavy in mine. I
saw her sink backward. The big china

a crash on the ground and shattered to
piaoea. _ /
I caught the poor child hi toy arms.
In a moment she came to herself, and
said shs had overtired herself, she

bade me good-night Bat I did not see
her next day, nor the next She kept
her room, and was not well enough to
bid me good-by. a

After that I think, we were both hap
pier than we had been lor days, and-
shook hands when we parted.
That night I went up to Tale of
Cruix, and I told Mary that my mar
riage was broken off, and that she was
the only woman I had ever loved. She
tried to summon up her pride and re
fuse me, but failed in the attempt and
let me take bar to my heart To-day I

A most unflattering view of New York
is taken editorially by the Philadelphia
Timet, which avers that even New York
ers "are beginning to recognize that
Manhattan island is the poorest apology
for « great city to be seen in the civil
ized world.” From the same source it
is learned that there ia net " among ths
races of men a more squalid, ignoble,
uninviting stretch of indigence and to-
dos try than the water treats of Manhat

Henry performed the operation, and
announced the result aa 1.466.606,287,-
463,806 grama.
"That is a big mm, is it not?” asked
his father, with a merry twinkle in his
eye.
“ Yes. indeed I I wonder how mar<y
bushels it would make. FD go to the
crib in the morning and shell a quart
and count the grains; then by multiply
ing that by 33 it will give the grains in
s bushel, and by dividing that into the
whole number of grains the boy re
ceived. it will give the bushels.”
The next morning Henry went ont to
the crib and brought in. enough L .com to
fill a quart measure when shelled. Bat
counting the grains wse a bigger job
than he imagined.
" The quickest way, Henry,” said his
father, “is to weigh an ounce of own,
count the grains, multiply that by six
teen to get the number of grains in a
pound, and that by fifty-six to get ths
number of grains in a bushel.”
Henry jumped at the suggestion, and
found that seventy-five grains weighed
an ounce, and that there were 67,300
grains in a bnahel Then dividing, he
found that for kite ▼ ear’s wages the boy
would receive 21,675,434,903 Stuhato
"That is teem than has been rawed

A MoasrcB steel hammer, the largimt

at Pittsburgh. The hammer weight
seventeen tons,while tha anvil-bloek un

tons, but, as this tremendous weight it
not always necessary in hammering, it
can be made to strike as light as de

nearly all this number of ekaletoM ; but
there were other terrible fights in July

its quota of boasa, and of them a Urge

is appalling to think what was tha

do not at all adequately represent the
