••Nell, what id Wuller Grantly com

"Why should I'not encourage him
j Uncle Charles? 1 respect and like
' luiii."
j "ltospeet him! A walking tail
| ors advertisement! An empty head
ed lop!"
••You are very severe. Uncle
I Charles. Mr. Grant ley dresses well,
I but with no morcaitempt at display
than any young man "f his age and
appearance is justified in doing. And
he is by no n.eaus empty headed. JJe
has read much, lias seen t'ie world at
heme and abroad, and converses well
i tar belter than any other gentleman
j who visits here."
| "Humph! All of which means that
| lie has succeeded ill fascinating you.
I expect you to marry, Nell. You
cannot waste the whole of your young
life with un old fellow like me. But
1 would like to see you the wife of a
solid man—a good business man—one
able to carry on my bn«ines»B when
I am dead—a man like James NeN
son-."
Ellen Baldwin kept a profound
science, her eyes fastcuui upon 1.e.-
sew ifg.
"1 know he is not h iiidsoine, and
is nearly forty.. His clothes are not
made in the latest t'isaioii, and lie is
sometimes rough in speech. But he
is a thorough business mail, able to
tnke care of \ our fortune, and even
to increase it. lie would make the
best of husbands, and, Ne I he loves
you."
,''Not at all. Uncle Charles. Mr.
Nelson im-i done ine the honor of
proposing to marry me, but love has
nothing; to d > vvi li the miller. Ami
L neither iiuo'..or trust hi.li."
'•Not trußt' him? Win-, Nell, he has
almost the entire control of the
warehouse! 1 1 irte giadually left
every Ihi ig l.» 'dm. ->i > li ust James
Nelson. You must be insane!''
"I am perfectly sane You are ll.e
best judjje of Mr. Nelson's business
powers, and I would not presume to j
question your ability to uianv
your own aliairs; but I spoke
of in v* life, my happiness, and 1 would
not trust his lender uiercies."
'•Preferring Walter Grunt ley V
' Yes. lie has asked ifie to be hi*
wife, but I, knowing your prejudice
against liiui, have told him he must
win your cordial liking before I
:ous».>t to be his wife. I could not
be happy if you were not 'fieuds.with
my husband, Uncle Charles."
Mr. Bal win looked at his niece
with glistening eyes. As she was
entirely independent of his control,
tieh bv right ot an inheritance from
her. lather, though his own companion
for nine vears, this marked deference
to his wishes touched liiin deeply,
lie was a sell made man, lacking
refinement, not .vyell educated, bui
with a m me.i-snaking capacity, and
he had the too common contempt lor
young moil who, like Walter Gr*nt ley
were college graduates, and paid
attention to dress, to looks, to the
niceties of etiquette and convert-a-.
lion.
I "You know, Ne11.," he said, after
a uiumeiit of silence, "that I have
only your interest at heart."
•'I do not need to be told that."
his nieje sai I, warmly. "Have you
(»o!*bceu fattier and mother to me
dnce my own parents died? Ms
In.pes'i", lli» r - knowing i love Walter
you wi.l also fearu to respect and like
him. He labors uii ler the disadvant
ages of wealth, havii.g imiepeu ien,
means, but he was iu busiue-s tor a
long time beto.e a legacy from his
grandfather- gave him sufficient
employment in managing the real
estate and slocks in which it m
iivested. Tiy to like him, Uncle
Charles, lor iny sake."
" Well. I will try Bat I widi it
was James. 1 could like htm without
trying." —-
■ Not lonv alter this conversalion,
while her own heart w-s very happv
in her love and her u icl'es kindness,
Nellie saw tliat a change had come
over Mr. Baldwin, lie had always
oecn a genial man, with kindly
I impulses, friends witn all the wni l.
proud ut the prosperity that .was ofois
own hands, but lie b 'caine very gtav-
and quidt, even sal. ahgnbel in
papers, and evidently deeply troub
led. Nell worried over the-change,
hut waited to know the cause.
The knowledge came one evening
Wfifiß Waiter Urautley was making a
call. True to his promise, Uncle
Charles w«s trying to be friends with
the young man, and thai he was sue*

"Fraud?" suggested Walter.

Other in'ties have been abandune i
for tho same reason. Latej- awouuU
of*diamond in nes in'Jie Orange River
Settlements, iu South Africa "points
out fresh fields for the diamond
adventurer. The papers announce
that tbe.e is oue from this territory
hi the w3y to Europe valued at
£32,000.
Tlie discovery of these mines was,
as iu luost. other cas»a, accidundy
while searching for gold. It is said
that diaioonde were first found in
Brazil by the nutiv>-s, when examiag
the sauds washed dowu from th"
nuiintains for graffis of gold. The
flittering crystals wer - laid aside as
curiosities. A diseuhoiited miner
whose name does uot appear on
r.cord, arrives from Kurope, saw
their value, ani, instead of quietly
buying thciu up in»U iicted the people
as to the naturn of tbe discovery.
