There was trouble on a certain morn iti in two homes at opposite ends of I be olty. The homes were very different, and eo was the nature of the trouble; never 18heless, the latter was felt with con. hiderable keenness'by the respecive in habitants of both. The first of these dwellings was on the south side of Merion Square, a goodly mansion, the abode of wealth aid luxury. The lady to whom all this belonged sat disconsolate in the midst of her rioh surroundings. Books and embroidery were on the dainty little dower-decked table at her Nido, but they were untouched; and a restless, troubled expression was on her ace while she norvoutisly clasped and tclasped the jeweled hands lying idle iII her lap. The dor opened, and a footman an onniie-1 a visitor, 'Oh," she exolaimod, rising to greet ir, "you got my noto." 'How kind of you to come I" "I am in such distress." "And for what?' asked the friend. "Toll mte all about it." -You remember my cousin Laura Merrihew?" "Of course." "But no one har seen her for years."' "She has shut herself up in her country-plaee ever since her husband ied; has she not?" "Yes; she is still a prey to grief." 'Before they married, her husband gave her, as her engagement ring, a vailuable jewel that hand been in his amily from time out of mind, and had tme to him for his mother." "It was a diamond, a single stono of reat size and the purest water." "Of course she valued it immensely, as indeed Rhe would have any gift of a man to whom sno was so devoted." "Sie his doath this ring has been mtwply estimnable in her eyes - the ' o rnest of happiness ruined so soon. A"Latterly, she has fancied that the ritone was becoming loose in the setting, I ntd spoke of sending the ring to me to ihavs it examined by a jeweler, but c'uld never make tup her mind to part ~th it, eveni for a few dlays. "At last, however, the stone came out ufthe netting." 'She sent it immediately to moe, and" here the speaker broke down-"T 4hiave lost it !" "You htavo lost the stone?" 'How very unfoi'tunate I" The ady oldher story, pouiring the details of her misadv-enture into symnpa itetic ears, ' The means that had been11 adopted for Sihe recovery of the Jest treasure were discussed by the twvo ladies, and fresh mnutres suggested. At last the visitor departed, leaving ie owner of these gorgeous drawing rtOoms5 withi an anxious anid heavy heart under her ''silk attire." The other home wvas in a dilfferent quailrter of the city. It consisted of one room in a hionso le~t out as tenements. Tile house was habited by extremely loor families, and situated in a dirty and dark back street. Lying outside the bed, patrtly dressed, was a man-the wreck of a fine, stal wvart, broadl-shouldered young follow. He was a day-laborer, anid had lately loft the hospital after a long and heavy lt of illness. Two small children were playlig quietly in) a cornuer; and the wife, her i pron throwvn over her head, was sittinjg hidside the fioless grate, rocking her self bacekwards andi forwards, sobbing btterly. '"If I could got work, I wotuldn't fret, sid thie young woman. We might struggle oni, and keep the life in us till such time as you were on your feetagain. "ButlIoan't." "it's a poor case to be able and lvflt ing to work, and not get it to do." "The last iob of neeilawork &Liss West got for me, she's a good friend, heaven bless her, was well paid for." I "6he promised to try and get me more amongst her ladies." "I'll go off to her now, and see if she has heard of anything." "You'll be good, avourneen, while i I'm away," said she, nissing the two It half-starved mites in the corner. "Au' ye won't cry, or disturb the poor sick daddy." "I'll be back, Jim, my heart, in less than no time." . . Faith in Divine help and patient en durance of suffering are traits well known to those whose experience lies among the lower orders. Poor Jim had a full share of both. Nevertheless, when his wife had gone, he broke down miserably. "God help her:" he said, looking f after -her retreating figure; "and God forgive me for deceiving her, and mak ing up stories about getting strong and well, when I know as sure as that I'm lying stretched here,' that the never a stroke of work I'll do again in this world." "My heart is weak from fasting, and the longing and the oraying are killing me." Meanwhile poor Mary was hurrying along through the streets with anxious footsteps, speculating on the possibility of her friend having found any work t among her pupils. Miss West was a music teacher. C Though but nineteen, she was the main prop and stay of a widowed invalid mother and young sisters; earning by her daily toil that which eked out the 0 pittance left of better days, and made by frugal contrivance the two ends 11 meet. It But none are so poor as not to be able'to help in some way those worse off than themselves. 14 The young girl had pleaded success fully for Maiy, and had procure.d em ployment that had been the only sup. port of the family during Jim's illness. She was going to brcakfast when her t protegee entered. 11 The table was already spread, and she was just preparing to attack, with the healthy appetite of youth, and the 81 knowledge that many busy hours would pass before she would again see food; a good slice of thick bread-and-butter. The thickness, be it Obsaiyed, Vaq referab.le to the bread only, the butter sprend thereon being limited to an al. most imperceptible "serape." t "Ah, is that you, Mary?" said she e with the bright pleasant smile that always seemed, Mary declared, to "rise t: her heart out of troublo." "I am afraid I have no orders for t you this morning; but 1 have got a )oWi pupil. and she tells mue that there will shortly be a wedding in the family. 'So thero's a chanoo for you." "Needlework may be reqnired, and I may have good news for you before long. * Poor A try wrung her hands together |8 under her cloak, straining thom hard in r the agony of her disappointment that j1 she strove to keep1 down aiai ide fron| L her young benefactress. |ii Very bitter was the pang of deferred | hope; but she woukit not seeme to be l8 ungrateful. .2 After a few worda and a onp) of tea 0 with a heavy henrt Mary turned away, L retracing her steps along the passage, | Rememubering something, however,|r' before reaching the hail door, she came I hack, and reappeared in the room where|t the little governess was tying her bon net-strings, preparing to set out. "I forgot this," she said. "'Snre, I'm losing my mind eutirely , with the feet that's on it- - a ''God help mnch my burden is manking | tuo foolish." a "Coming along this morning, 1 seen, this on the tlags, and put it in my pocket,c thinking maybe if it was clean, one of your little sisters might fancy it for her t. curiosity-box. "'Let mec wipo the mud off it for you, Miss." 'r "'It shines bright and beautiful now -a bit of glass hike." A moment's scrutmny of the object spjarkling on the womans outstretched palm, and Miss West oried out "Give it to me quick, and wait," snatched it from her, Mary staring in astonishment at her vehemence, and rushed upstairs to her mother's room. "What is it, dear?" said the startled invalid as she dashied in. ; "Whatever is the matter?" a "Oh, mother, looki" "(Jan this be what we saw advertised for in the newspaper?" ."Is it possible poor Mary can bo the lucky finder?" "I can searcoly belie it." a "Do look." Th~e advertisement was as follows: "$800 RiEwAnD.--Lost, a valuable DrakIoND." [The descript ion and furither ~articu hars given.)] "Whoever finds it, or can give in.. formation leading to its recoyery, will receive the above reward, by applying at-, Aferrlop S3quare, South," Mrs. West at once pronotincod what was submitted to her emperienced judg mont, to be a diamond of great value, and was atrongly of opimion that iti it would be better not to tell Maryv the 3xtent of her possible good fortune, for oar of disappointment. So on returning to her, the young t ady only said: I "My mother thinks this may b6 omething we have seen advertised for 4. that Equare, so I will go with you to he house mentioned." t "Thank ye kindly, Miss." L "The footmen in them grand houses t vouldn't look at the likes o' me." a t "They'd just slain the door in my face, t C Lmade so bold as to ring." t As she tripped along, the young gov, .rness's heart beat high at the prospect f what might be the happy result of ter errand. 0 No more slaving for peor Mary; good n Dod for Jim; an airy lodging at the sea ide, where lie would soon recover his l trength; clothes and furniture redeem- t d from pawn; and after an interval of eht and ense-sorely needed after their t ufferings-her humble friends restor. t d to their old life of industry and con- 'I Drt. It is needless to dwell upon what fol. )wed whin Miss West was shown 111) tito the drawing-room, and displayed ti iefore the enraptured eyes of its occu- 0 ant the precious jewel whose loss had aused her such tribulation. t As for poor Mary, it was some time t 'efore she could realize her good for- %I une, or take in the bewildering tidings o f .the weailth that had so providentially h omne to her and then. e And Jim, what news for himl Tliere-waa healing in the very though f such prosperity. a, So it cane to pass that. in the two C om1es, clouded so lately with trouble ! nd anxiety, peaco of nind was restor .

Four young gentlemen were preparing D enjoy a first-class dinner recently, ii no of the best known and most popu ir up-town reFtaurants of New York, hie of the party was a regular frequent, r of the dining-saloon, a man of th< rorld, and a connoissour in the gooi kings of the table. Two were citi ion. The fourth was a stranger fronc lie . ast, but a man of the world, so fai s a knowledge of the world can be ob iined in New England cities. Who ko party was seated the waiter broughi ) the table, among other things, n innocent-looking octagonal shapot ottle filled with a bright red sauce, ts very appearance w-q& appetizing. Ii ppoared to be a smalIl)ottle of tomatc Atelip. Oyaters on the .Ialf.shell oon. ituted the first course of the dinner, 'he "regular diner"' of the party ickod up the innocent-looking bottle, -itlod affectionately with it a moment, nserewed a little cap which served as stopper, a'd sprinkled just a daeh of i2 teipting-looking condiment on the 1e edge of the she Is of his oysters. 'heu he ate one of the Blue Points ith a relish that would seem to indi ite supreme satisfaction with himself id the world at large. The young entleman from New England witnessed io operation from the corners of his yes, and thought it would be an cmi ontly proper thing for him to imitate ie example of his friend. His impree on was that lie was dealing with >Uato catsup. So the sauce was )rinkled with a lavish hand, until the ysters assumedi the color of a boiled >bstor. The Now Yorker, who was an athusiast on the subject of condimenta, atched the proceedings with astonish ient, and ilnally remarked: "Oh, yes; of course I do," was the iswor of the representafive of Boston ilture, who assumed such a look and mne of injured innocence that further itr ference or any',explanation on the trt of the New Yorker would have been holly out of the place. The Now orkor simply turned to the waiter and tid ; "Bring me a glass of milk as quickly i possible," and waited further devel )ments. The New Englander moved one of his 'sterS gently about in its bath of sanoe util it was thoroughly coated, and ith a graceful movement of his fork ansferred it to his mouth. He took thoroughly energetic bite, and that Ite was the last ho took for some min. tes. ie didn't say anytiagi. He idn't have time. He swallowed iis pster like a hero. Then he reached >r his water goblet, and drained from every drop. Tears gathered in his FAM. 'Wil - ~-.- 4t iab- nlaa ,Qy.r A ictod in every lincament of his facs, idl he looked toward his friend as tough lie would murder him, The ow Yorker quietly reniarked: "Drink this glass of milk that I or 3rod; it will relieve you at once. I id it brought because I thought you id mistaken the character of that sauoo, ough some people can eat it in that ay. It's a splendid condiment, a )od appetizer, ansd a fino aid to diges in.'', "S.Icel condiment,I Aid to diges onl" exclaimed the New Englander, ter he had obtained so much relief om his draught of milk as enabled him speak. "Does Bomcher ever dino )re? Mas he over tasted that 'sauco,' id does he still believe thero is no hell? oly lososl what is it?" And at the os0 of his series of exclamations and terrogations he wiped the tears from s eyes and cheeks, drank another >blet of water, and gave other evi 3ncoa of having obtained a fresh hold a life, The theological questions erfi not anisweired, but the verdanit ming New Englander was informed lat the "'appetizinig condiment" with hich he had rashly made so intimate 1 acqpuaintance was TJabasco sauce, a ighly relished by epicures, and said to one of the finest ever made.

The Larded lnridse. 'It ilpears that young Butler was much einamored of a pretty girl who lived on a furin about six miles from that of the Butler family in the west er part of Massachusetts. The country beauty was a coquette, however, and kept quite a largo train of admirors in SUspenlse, each rival doing hi1 best to gain the advantage of the others. At last matters woro brought to a climax, and the damsel appointed a certain night when sho would render her iinal deci sion as to which suitor 'sho preferred. It goes without saying that they were all bettor-lookig than Ben, but the latter determined to put the insido of his head against the outside of thoso of hit, opponents. '. he nearest way to the fair flirt's honse, and the one taken by all her eager followers, was over a bridge formed by a single and some what slippery log piaced across a deen brook in the rear of the house. Younug I Butler repaired to this bri.dge an hour earlier than the acoustonsed " courtin' time." carrying a pail of lard with which he carefully annointed the log by the mellow iioor01ght, baickmiig Iimuself< across it astraiddle.

Hondrick-a has really recovered from his attack of so-called ''senile gangrone," a story has i come out which is decidedly at the ex pensie of lisa phiysici-ns. On the very day, the tale runs, to which the medical i phrophiets in attendance had limited his t life, a blunt old granger-also a doctor ~ after a fashion-called to pay him a fare well 'visit. After a pathetic interview the country practitioner thought lhec would take a look at teo "ganigreno" 1 which was ab)out to teirminate his illus- I rius friend's life. He did so; stared at it open-mouthed for a moment; and then with a derisive grunt and an indignant, thumping oath, roared out: f " Nothing butle boil' Surely enough, Mr. Hienderielse was very noon rushing along the high road to recovery, and the able physicianis who atteuded himx arc keeping moderately quiet. 1' Uiharmna Against tile avili Eye. The supposed liability of the innocent multitude to the malevolence of the evil 'ye caused the superstitions to have recourse to many charms, incantations, ad ceremonies to avert ill-consequences and render the poisoned glance innocu :ms4; among which, as just recorded, prayer and the use of saliva woro con picuous. The wearing of coral Lrooches, beads, and earrings is still a opular charm in Naples against the ril e.ye, "In Scotland," says Mr. tahan Daizell, in bib addenda, "a thiread tied about a child's nook, or towatn cross, (eross of mountain ash), , e helieved to be equally efilenoious n preventing the influence of evil spir. ts, evil eyes, and other calamities." n tihe Middle Ages an amulet, of a ozenge silape, maiked with the mystic etters A.

A >mcl of tihe rowan treo was also in reat favor, and to hold up but a branch 1i i twig in the presence of anu eye-biter au; sullicit to render her deadliest vislies of no avail. A four-leaved hamrock, which is excessively rare, nd all the more highly prized for that CEason, was a sovereign antidote. In 'ocock's travels in the cast lie says hit tihe Arabs of Egypt throw salt into he tiro as a charm against the elfects if an evil eye, or before loading their amels for a journey through the desert, oneliding, as the blue flamo arises, hait every evil gonius is banished. lie ejection of saliva was also consid red ia charm of pecitliar eflicacy. 'iiy speaks of it as a certain antidote u "fasciuation," as well as a preserva ve from contagion, and in pugilistic ncounters as certain to aggravate the iole-nce of a blow. "At the present ay, as of old," says Mr. Dalzell, "a 1 reek mother, as if coummemorai'ing lbe words of Theocritus and Tibullus, p)ita in her bosonm to repel fas't-nating lances direoted toward horself, and, readimg the gaze of the sterile on hr hihll, spits in its face." But the most onnon of all the charms in use against 1.0 evil oye is tlat very yulgar gesture tretching out the fingers, and "1twid Lling" them with a rapid maotion for ia -w seconds, commonly practiced by JOnldon street boys, without the slight st knowiedge of its origin or meaning, id known in slang parlance as "taking ight." The Slang Dictionary says hat ''tb take a sight" is a vulgar action miployed by boys to donote incredu.. ty or contomtpt fo)r authority; but the hal mecanmig in ancient times, forgotten ud wholly unsuspected in our own, ,am to show nutempt amid delahunce of lie maclinations of witchoraft, and to ender the evil eye powerless.
