She was evidently growing nervous. ;Her

on her going out more, and she told him
she did go out sometimes:, j . j
One evening, as he was going home
earlier than usual, he met a clerk from

stood and looked after him, perhaps five
minutes, then walked slowly to the house.
She had never entertained any gentlemen
visitors without his knowledge, and con

She went out to meet her husband with
a face so radiant that, he stood vith aston

looked at her flushed face with so sorrow

tears and hid her face in her hands, j lie

spoke with a voice hoarse with emotion.
'Minnie, you shock me. What is it all ?

She raised her face to his view, every

leaving it as white as the dead. With an
effort she controlled her voice, so as to be
able to speak. She never moved her eyes
from his face, as she said,

Gold and its Goings.
The estimated amount of tfold in exist
ence at the commencement of the Chris
tian era was 1427,000.000. At the discov
ery of America, in 1492, this jamount had
diminished to 57,000,000'. 3n 1000. the
amount had risen to $1051,000,000 ; in
1700, $351, 000v000 : in 1800 t'6?l,251, 000,
000. The Russian mines, exending over
one-third of the surface of the globe, on
parallel 50 degrees north latitude, were
discovered in 1819.
In 1843, the estimated amount of gold
in existence was $2,000,000,060.
Next followed the discoveries in Cali
fornia, February 9, 1848, and in Australia
February 12, 1851, which added enor
mously to the gold production. In 1853,
the amount in existence was computed at
$3,000,000,000: and in 18G0 it was $4,000,
