PIPER. .lyer since I married Dr. Hastings I have seen in my visions the ideal phy sician's wife, and I follow where he leads me, though it may be afar off I visit my husband's patients as sympa thizer and friend, and while he en deavors to build up their bodies, I exert my elf to give new tone to their minds and hearts, by imparting some of the cheerfulness and sunshine of my own life. I often accompany the doctor in his calls, and it is a source of much pleasure to me to study the dif ferent phases of human character thus iound. It was on one of these occisinus that 1 first met Edith Warren, a beautiful woman, not yet thirty years of age, suffering from an incurable disease. She was one of those people we meet now and then, who are prematurely aged. There was the lithe willowy forM, and the care-worn face; the freshneas and elasticity of youth, com bined with the world-weariness of the aged. She had been a lovely creature,. and was yet, in spite of the inroads that sickness and grief had made, for I felt sure from the first that her ill ness was not purely physical. I visit ed her often, and found her so intelli gent and yet so sad, that through pity I learned to love her, and by various arts and wiles I tried to gain her con fidence. I was particularly anxious to discover the cause of her trouble, be cause, although I knew she could never recover, I thought that if, in some way, her sorrow could be re moved or forgotten, her life might be indefinitely prolonged. One day when I had been sitting by her couch for some time, (she was al most entirely confined to h-er room now.) I saw that her eyes were illel with tears. They were the first tears I had seen, and I silently rejoiced. There is nothing so pitifal as tearless story grief. "The stream that trickles through tire mouoin Unpent, flows harmlesi from ite fountain. But bound. it bursts the solid rock. And rends the mount with dreadful shock. So griefs that weep, small wounds Impart, But tears confined miay burst the beart." I1 pressed her hand in sympathy, but said nothing, white she turned away her bead and wept freely. Then, clasping both arms about my neck, she said: "You have been my dear, good friend. How can I ever repay you?" "Give me vaur confidence," I re plied! "Trus't me, and let me help you." She was silent for a long time, as if at a loss bow to begin, or whether to begin at all; but at length she said: "There is no comfort, no peac3 of mind for me this side the grave. Oh! it is a long story, a sed, sad story you would have me tall you, and I fear you will despise me when you have heard it; but you have been so true a friend, you deserve to know more of me." And this was her story, whicha I give to you as nearly as I can remember, in her own language. At the age of eighteen. I was left a penniless orphan, with no near relative save a wealthy bachelor Uncle. He offered me a home and a life of ease, but preferring to be independent, I supported myself by teaching and spent my vacations with Uncle. After three years of this manner of living, I gave my hand and heart to Fred War ren, and believed myself the happiest of women. Fred was only a poor book keeper and could not keep me in lux ury, but 1 cared not for that. I did not want to be kept in idleness, but longed to be of some use and help to my husband. I wanted to walk by his side through the journey of life, bear ing my share of its toils and burdens. M~y Uncle begged that he might help us, but when I refused he called me "a wise little puss." and then added more seriously, "I am sure I have not long to live. When 1 am gone, my wealth is yours." We commenced house-keeping in a very modest way, living chiefly to our selves and for each other. Those were beautiful days! They seem now like an encharnted dream from which I awoke, alas! too soon. When t welve brie!, blissfu inonths had passed away, I awoke one morning to find myself an heiress. It was strange, perhaps, but I shrank from the cares and responsibilities which wealth had thrust upon me, with what I have since thought was a premnoniton of evil. Yet I was glad that I was able to lighten the labor of my husband. and at my solicilation he resigned his position 'as bookkeeper in the large establishment where he was employed, and purchased an interest in thre same house. It is sellom that one accustomed to toil and hard-ships, deals wisely with riches, suddenly acq ;ired. This may be tome apology for us, or I should say, for myself. Fred iusisted that the money was mine, and I should direct its us-. We purchased a grand residence, tilled the house with ser vents, anid w ere dlattered by the a-tten tions of thoce whom we had hitherto consideredl above us in aocial posltion. lieneeforth, my life was not myv own. 'I ie burrderns of society rested heavily on my untried shoulders, and I soon wearied of it all Still, I ha.1 much to make m' happy, for we often had a quiet evening to o, rselves. Thiose were restful hronrs to bo h of us. $at by and by Fred began to go out evenings. andi often stayed until lou.: after my bed tim". Ba-daess kep't him, he said; b it he began to lose his buoyancy of spirit and was never his old merry selt again. As day after d av he looked more worn and dejected, lonely without Fred's z pant nuw, and felt indignaut, too, that he cculd willingly forgo the pleasures 3f hogne to gratify his mercenary desires. TIie o aseless round of receptions, enter tainments and fashionable calls b came a orme:t, trom which I won,.d pl-eilv have rid myself if I had only known how to do so. Oh, if only s nietuing would happen to break this tiresome monotony! And by and by something did happen. A year before I first met Fred, I was the affianced of Arthur Spencer, a brilliant young law student. The en gagement was brief. We quarrelled and parted, and when I was narried, I had scarcely thought of Arthur for montbs. Jast at this evil hour, wieu I was weary of everything atout me, and longiUg for something new under tie sun, my old lover caine to the city, an-I we met. The first time I saw him he atteiided a receptiou to which I ha i gone alone, becanse Fred ha I excsed himself at the last hour. 1 went home fully intending to tell my usband of my meeting with Arthur, but he was still absent, and I was indigoant. "Very well," said I to myself, "if h will not let me see li-m except in the pr.sence of servant<, 1 shall zeep my bits of gossip until they are too stile to ta!k about. It is str nge t zat business should keep him oat s, late. There must be some other attraction." 1 met Arthur Spencer often after tat, and in time I began t.> seek his tociety (and I felt sure te sought mine), by going where I knew I should me t him. I did not stop to analyze all this. I did not think or care why it was that life h td a new zest for me, or why it was that 1 now looked forward To a recertiOn with pleasure, when I had so lately considered everything of the kind as a necessary evil. I only knew that I enjoyed this man's society. I was proud when he came to my side in preference to others, and disavpinted when I failed to see him. If I had known then, as he told me afterward, that I had never been for-otten, I should have been more careful. If 1 had known that since our parting he had so dallied with sin that he had no scruples of conscience, I wonld have shunned him from the first. But my worldly knowledge was not sufficient to enable me to read the motives of one more skilled in the arts and wiles of deception, and I walked blindly on in paths that cuoning hands had made so pleasant, I kne w not they led to de struction. One evening when Arthur's devo tion to me had attracted the attention of the whole company, 1 had left the room to don my wraps and fonndl him waiting in the hall to speak to me. As we stood there laughing and chatting over some trivial affair, the drawing. room door was ajar, and my attention was attracted by the remark, "I wonder that -Mrs. Warren can seem so happy, when her husband is going to ruin." "What does she care," was the sneer ing reply, "when she can have so handsome a cavalier as Spencer? ' I heard no more. The words I was about to speak froze on my lips, and my heart stood still with a namel-ss fear. "Oh, leave me! leave me!" I cried, "and let me go home." "Idy poor girl," he replied, "when 'on know as much of the world as I do, you will care less for its opinions." I went home and passed a weary, restless nght. What had I done? What was I doing that I should receive this unmerciful criticism? Was it true that Fred was "going to ruin?" If so, why bad I not seen it, until the knowl edge must by forced upon me in this cruel way? I felt that I w'as iireraly g iug mad, and when the mrning came and I received a message from Arthur asking that he might see me once niore, I welcomed him in the hope of receiv ing somie comforting explanation. Bat in this I was disappointed. Hie toldl me m sorrowful sympathy, as I tought, that my husband was spend ing his evenings in gambling des and places of worse repute, while my litt!e fortune was fast dwindling away. And then, in his artful manner, he told me how he longed to help mce, e~nd begged me to trust him as my best friend. He went away only to come again and again. Sometimes I longed to go to Fred, confess my imprudence and ask an explanation of his conduct. But I hesitated and wavered, despair ing because in my thoughtlessness I had alre 'dy become the o'ject of scorn, and too we-ak to break the charm of this wily serpent in human form. And so it went on, until at last Arthur entreated me to go away with him somewhere, anywhiere, if only we miht always be together. You who have never been tempted and tried, shrink with disdain from a faithless woman, and I do not ask your pity for I am not worthy of it. There was a time when I, too, had a supreme contempt for such weakness; bot we never know our strength until it has been tested. If Fred is false to me, I reasoned, why should I be true to him? At last after I had worked mvaelf into a fever of excitement, 1 went to my husband and told him what I had heard and de manded him to tell me if it were false or true. He grew white to the ]ips but he answered quietly, "It is truie, in pa t." With the merciless woras, "That is sfficient, I want no explanation," I turned away. Burning with indignation, and blind to every thing else save the one all ah sorbing thought that I had been cruel l wronged, I went to my room and refsed aimittanee to every one. Once, thrice, there was a 'timid knock at the door, and 1. knew who was wait ing w thout, but I would not relent. That evenmng un ler cover of darkness I went out from my beautiful iuone. never to return. I passed the nighut with a friend, who hail contributed her share toward alienating my affections, expecting to leave the city as soon as our arrangements could be completed. I shall never forget the horrors of that night. It seemed so like a terri be nightmare from which I almost hoped to awake to my old time har ness. At last I fell into a troubled sleep from~ wl.ich I was aroused at the first gray dawn of morningr, by the alarm of fire. After I was assured that the fire was not in the neighborhood and I was in no danger, I lay still and really enjoyed the clang of bells and voices, 1.ecause it served to keep me from thinking. A few hours later 1 gazed on the smoking ruins of my own home, and fell on my knees by the bed side of my husband who had given his life for mine. When I left my ro(om that evening, I fta light, that my absence might not be iisovered so soon, and1 I think the ire must have orig~nated there. Every one supposed that I was in the build ing, but no one was brave enough to try to rescue me until Fred came. H srang up the stairway amid the stitl ing smoke, only to fall with the clash ing tms He was vrscre from the lames, bat his :ufferingl were only rlonged. uilty Acidbased as I se I prayed that GM~ would siare my Daring, nbut aftcr a few ;zavs, it wa-. nil over with my poor Fred. The rmeruory of those l-ist hoars, in the home of a dear, good nelekbor, is very precious to me. There each told the old story of temptatioi and sin, while each forgave and was forgivon. But when I knew how much of what I had been tol was false, and how my husband hat wronge I himscif and others that lie migxt be true to me, my reniose was almost oreater than I could bear. "My poor 1)I trlinr," wore his last words to me, --W. haiv bot.i sinn.3d, and we must both suffer; but I believe that Go i has looked upon as with mercy, and in a worl.1 where all mistakes are righted, we shall meet and love again." Thus ended the story of anoter wrecked and rn-ned life. I tried to comfort my friend as best I could, but no words could avail to assuage the grief that was wearing her life away. The end came at List. It was a dreary day in November. The sky was o'erca.t with clouds. The wind shrieked and moaned with an almost human wail. It stripoed the treesi of their sear leaves, roItlod them awhie in mid-air, and let tnem fall as a child would drop a cast off plavthing. It was (ne of thos.' da s that brings to us a s- nse of lout liness, even waen sur ronded by cougenial companions. Edith Warren was going fast. She sent for me in the early morning and begged that I would stay with her until all was over. Te morning passed, and the afternoon. Oae by one the clouds drifted away, and the sun sank to rest in a halo of glory. "It is like my hf," said she. "My sky has been obscured by clouds of darkness an-1 despair, but-"At even ing time it shall he light." "I thought I should go to-day," she added, "bat it may not be. I mast rest Watch with me until I awake." And thus she fell asleep, a gentle, child-like sleep, from which she awoke no more on earth. TIE INFLICENCE OF MUSIC. BY DOCTOR WALDTERN PEGG. (A*zooiate and Ptpil of the Abtb LisZt.) In a previous article in the columns of this pauer I pointed out that med ical investi ations have frequently di rected attention to the powerful infdu ence that music exercises, through te mind upon the body, by increasing mental energy, or by depressing the feelings even to the point of despond. ency. Music affects the health to an amazing and startling extent. Many I instances might be quoted. A gentle man I met in St. Pct',rsburg, in formed me quite recentli that a med ical friend of his has been studying the effects of musical sounds on the ailing ones, and has learned that they modify the circulation of the blood, and the activitv of the heart, in ii direct ratio to the ptch/ and joir/issrimo of sound; th is is technically styled "Tone Color. In ancient history, and the sacred works of verious nations one finds numbers of incidents of the ininence of musical sounis and their incalculably bent ficial offect upon sick people. There is a record ot songs devoted in ancient Egypt to the promiotion of vir tue and morality in the Education of youth. These 'records attribute the b'trbarsm o.r C% oetto to uie grw ne glect of 3Mnsic, and the refinement and purity of the manners and customs of tho Arcadians to a natural love and reverence for the divinie art. From the Hebrew Ser~ptures we learn that a cnre was sought for the derangement of Saul in the haro playing of David. Pytmmioras, highly commended music in thle treatment of the insane, andl Thailes found in music his most power mui and~ effectual means of comnbating a pestilence wuich once ravaged Sparta. Xenocrates s .othed insane people by musical soainds, and Theophrastas de clared, and held, that even the yen cmous bites of reptiles were rendered less mischievous by subjecting the vic tims to the inilence of melo.iv. When physicians in the dark ages thought they recognzed evil spirits as the cause of disease, Music was declared to be the curative; and again Luther exressed the sauie belief; or, rather, hadl strong faith when he wrote that "Mlusic is one of the most beautiful and glorious gifts of God, to which satan is a bit er and irmplac'able foe." One of the~ings of Spain was at one time in such a weak and morbid condi tion of health that his devoted consort almost despaired of seeing his Majesty in soua d health again. In fact, he was so despondent that he completely egetdhis person, and refused to see or-b seen by his courtiers and loyal subjects, and great grief and con steriation prevailed over all the nation. In the midst of their dismay a happy thought passed thorugh the mind, de voted and faithful, of the King's beau tiful consort. Farinelli was then a most famous singer, and him she com manded to atj pear at the Palace, and also several otlher artists, together with the private orchestra which only per-. formed in the Palace, but which now had been long inactive, owing to the mental aliena:ron of the King. 'The Queen desired Farinelhi to sing, and the. oither artists to perform, which they did, alternately of course-the peformnan'e inking place in a large h mber adijoining he suite occupied by thie lKinz. 'Ihe effect was almost m'ial. Nis Mtajesty remai ed quiet, litning, for two or three hours, and a last, during an interval of the per formaice, sent an attendant command in -the presence of the artists who had tkn part. When they appeared be fore him, be bade them to ask him for any favor in reason and he would grant it Farinelli simply b--sougnt the King to permit his attendants to dress and shave him. After this was done the royal evidently felt better, anud then Farnelli imploredi his Msjesty to allow Ihis loyal subgeets to ses hin out in the great garden's daily. The favor was heartily granted, and from that day dated the rapid c:>nvalescence of King Philip of Spain. It is as bad to be a hypocrite as it 19 to be a highawayman.

Tfhe political panorama in Europea as it is focuss d in Germany, is one 1f singular interest at the present h time. It is reported that a deeply F impressive interview recently took ti plce between the young Emperor t and the Pope, in which Wil iam II. N announced his intention or declaring - war against France, and the Pope brouht to bear all the weight of his holy otlice to heg him to change this intention. "I pleaded with him, I went with him," said the Popte, in relating this, "but I failed to con Ivine him." Each day the Pope now sys a muss to avert impending evils. eantime relations between France and England are strained. The co lonial problems excite great bitter ness o f d iscussion. There le one faction in German pared to treat with Chancellor von m Capivt in certain concessions be tween the government's military de-j mands on the one sIde and the re ligious disabilities on the other. The agricultural interests demand protec tion; there is a deep a'id wide-spread ing agitation for a refortn in taxation, f~r pratteetionl against monopolies, and a demand that taxation be in creaed on luxuries and decreased on necessary commodities. Out of all this unrest a new dyvnasty is destined THE FUSSY HOSTESS. .n the present daiys our nerves are rood deal shaken, and we chiely seek ,ber complete rest or intense excite ent. The fussy hostess bores us. ,e neither soothes us nor amnses us ie entirely lhcks repose. When you ter her drawing-room she welcomes in with so much effnsion that it be mes niuseating. She is generally transparent humbug. She talks iiefly in italics. She is 'so Mlad to e you"; and when you rise to take ur departure she begs you to r e aain. )h, don't go. Mast you really? It's tite early." Si oue has to frame ex ases to get away-and excuses, espec ly lame ones are so fatiguing. When her visitors have drifted into easant conversation, she interrupts it 1 fresh introdnctions. She swoo s wn upon you when you least expect ir, carries yon off, and presents you, belled, to someone you do not want know, and who has no burning de re to know you. "Let me introduce r. Jones, he's so fond ot --," gn ally an art about which the aentle an has no ideas, beyond realizing 2at he likes. At the house of a fussy hostess I ice met tiree friends of mine who re unknown to one another-an tor, a novelist, and a young journal b. "Now I know you will like each her so muca," she said as she intro iced them. "Really, how fortunate am this alternoon, for you see I have well-known actor, a great novelist, d a rising journalist; I feel I have a ,on." Strange to say, the three men a never heard of each other, and ey all told mc, in moments of con :ence afterwards, that they longed to eep under the sofa. The pause in 5e conversation of the rest of the irty after the hostess' speech was cer inly not made less appauling, by the Lence of the three distinguished peo .e who had been labelled into lifeless. ss by her stupidity. If she intro ices you to a young girl she tells yon a stage whisper that she is "1sweetly etty," if it is an older she will possi y say, "I do so want yon to know r, she's very clever and most use J." In the first case you will proba y find yourself trying to see beauty an ordinary and self-conscious hoolgirl, and the elder lady will talk yu down and patronize you. The fussy hostess rarely sits down. hat, one would not mind if she would iy allow her visitors to remain at ichor for five consecutive minutes. she wears a train she either kicks it mstantly or allows it to take its ance; when it takes its own sweet ay it is generally wrapped round the g of a chair-or of a man. The iair, as a rule, will fall, bat the man is to smile. When she appears in a ort gown she reminds me of one of Lose horrible dolls that walk by achinery. suddenly taking three or >r unexpected steps when you think ey have "run down." Her rooms are usually in artistic "up date." Everythung looks fresh from ie shop. The furniture and decora ons are as jerky as herself. The fussy ostess dces not give very good dinners. e is one of ihose to whom William torris cries out in vain, "If you can ot aiford a real work of art, do not put p with an imitation one. Learn to do ithout." Her dinners are as far from that real rt as her decorations. She has invari bly scrambled through every picture llery, and seen all the new plays. [er opinions upon what she sees arc an lla podrida of* other folks' ideas hich she carefully culls from conver ersations and plunders from papers he is well read; she gets the authors a te med and the piote of rdtortoa opelessly entangled with the deta-is books of biography and travel, but iat is due to her "dreadful mem.. The fussy hostess is often idol zed by try young men. It is their privilege t to see through her. She has so any pretty little ways of gratifying teir vanity. iShe greets them some mes with both hands, ana very young en like that; she calls them "naughty, ug~'ty boys," and they love that. It .ases them feel they are men, when a oman of the world talks to them as if Ley had a nice long sullied past of estionable cong tests. She is always a managing woman. e is ambitious in a feeble way. She never in society. H.:r husband is mally very dull-probably the result long years of enforced silence, for a is always talked at, or talked for. I ways shake hands with him with a utered condole nce.

TEE mention of electricIty brought up new possIbilities for future discov ery, some of them so amaz'ng as to a most pass the bounds of credibiity. Professor Bell said: "Morse tought the world years ago to write at a distance by electricity; the te1kphone enabll us to talk at a distance by electricity ; and now scien tists are agreedl that there is no thieoret lea reacn why the well-Irnown principles of light should not be app'ied in te same way that the principles of sound have been applied in the tele phone, and thus allow ue. to see at a distance by electricity. It is some ten years since the scientific napars of the worl1 were greatly exmrised over a re port that I had filled at the Smithsonian Insttution a sealod packet supposed to ccntain a method of doing this very thing ; thuat is, transmit the vi~ou of persons and things frcm one point o., the earth to another. Ass matter or tact there w: sno tin'h .ithe report, but it resulted in stirring up adozen sci entie men of emninence te comc out with stat ements to the effect that they too had discovered various ntetbods of seeing by electricity. That shows what I kow to be the case, that men are worring at this great problem in nany aboratores, arnd I firmly believe it vwil] be solved one day. *-Of cours", while the principle of seeing by e'ectricity at a distance is drecisey that opplied in the telephone, yet it will be very much more difliult to construct such an apparatus, owing to the imimen~selv greater rapidity with which toe ihrat ons of light take p'ace when cc mpei ithu the vibrations of sound. It Is merely a question, hrow ever. o'f frr dmn a di phragm which will te s:fl iently sensitive to receive these vibrations and produce the c rrespondl ing & lctrial variatior s."-Fro m Mc C'lure's Magqazine An undergroutbd river, strongly impr gna ed with iron, was founi re centl near Charlotte, N.
