oil the horizon In burnished tpkiidor. The
stream, near which he lounged, tnnile a soft
ifut'tfllnrj loutul, 'which tninled plciisiinlly Willi
the oilier milium' noises. Eric uicutlied a
full of inliuilu content, and cronitij; lilt hand
under his litad, settled himself for u cotuforta.
h!e uflctniion's do.'.'.
lie was soon aroused from lilt dreamy reverie
bv a linn soldierly step, and he looked up
I uily at hit father threw hit tall form on the
rass beside him.
Thl is a pretly spot you have found hcie
Krlc and cool, even to-day, when It is as hot as
it furnace, every where else tind you repre
ss it Ihe most luxurious picture of thilccjir
nti. But give up your dreams for a while
ami come back to mundane ulTairs, 1 wish to
laikloyou. The fact is, 1 lnu a piece of
n s for you, thai you ought to have known
sooner, bat 1 waited until nut'ers were dcll
nit'.lv nrraiigcd. Have you never womUicd
what look me fnnn home so often lately ?
Yea, father. Hut I thought you were dis
turbed by business affairs, to refrained tioin
adding tu your worry by teasing questions.
lo'i am a thoughtful son I'.nc. I was u
little disturbed, but not with business cures.
I have often thought that you and I lived a
rather lonely life here. You urti too dreamy,
ami spent loo much Hint poring over bunks. 1
am not cheerful enough to be an euterlaiiiliiK
cimpanlou for you, In the few leisure tun
mints I can spare front business. You need
SJino lively, duel fill person uiuuud, who will
lure you from your books and make you lets
dreamy and more practical. I lure never in
terfi rcd with your ruiidiuir, for I knew what a
comfort It must be to you, cut olt at you are,
from the usual pusiiits t'f young men, by your
lameuest. You will forgive mo, dear lad for
alluding to your unfortunate deformity, you
are old enough to have learned lo bear yuur
lllictlou w ith resignation lint to return to
my in w. c both need some, gentle woman
1 1- influence n round us, and during my travels
iu the spring, 1 intt a lady, w hos-e gentle, win
ning ways taught inc what was needed in our
home. 1 found her poor, and lu Irouli c, and
saw that site ennobled poverty, and bore trials
bravely, with a calm spirit thu was alone Iu
the world and was young too, only tweut)
two. 1 felt torry for li J- when I tlrst learned
her history, but when 1 kuew'her well, and a.w
how bravely and serenely she bore reverses
and how cheerful the was under all clreuin
stances, my pity changed to admiration and re
speut, I full what u bright, pleasant home the
would make for a mail. Iu fact, 1 began to
louir to have this gentle, geinul present' near
me alwuyt, am! to I offered myself to her and
the at last accepted me Eric. 1 am to be married
in two weeks."
Eric sprung tn lilt feet aud with whllo face
and twitching Hut. stood beforo lilt father.
"Father have you forgotten my mother, uud
the love you oucc gave her, that ymt can tpeak
unmoved of bringing a itraugo woman lo take
her nl.ice 111 vour heart and home 1 Oil! father
I would not have believed It of you."
"My aou you must compose yourself aud
listen to mo quietly."
1 will not listcu-whcn you ask mo to lltlin
oiiiotlf while vou tell me that a slraiiee wo
man hat taken my mother's place lu your
heart; that you propose lo give her thu mime
that once bel.uued lo my dear mother. You
ask loo much. 1 wiil uev -"
Eric! TheCaplaiu't voice was urtii, though
loving in Itt loue, and Erie yielded, tokb tli
the Uruiness, uud love, lie knelt by his father's
aide and the mission left hit voice, while lie
pleaded gently. "Father, break oil tins mar
riage I beg of you We are happy together am
need no other person In our l;ve-l)h I lathe
listen to me I pray you."
"llitf-h. my dear boy. It It too late for me to
draw back now.even II 1 wished, which I do not,
I know it Is for the best, and you wMI a -know
edge 1 was right af'er awlnie. Uut you men
n ,t think, bocau.-e I luvtt learned to love an
other, III it I have forgotten your dear motio r
i wmtv vena nci). when vou Were only a lew
months old, 1 laid Hie wife of mv yomh lu her
early grave, uud wlih her 1 burled my yotiib,
ami all the blight hopet and high iiipuaiions
that made my future) to bright, (iod alone
knowt how much I missed her. You, der ltd,
can never comprehoud the aehliix want and
utter loneliness of soul and body that has be. n
mine tinco llii hour my AdHeune't geui'O
spirit took ilt flight to Join the angels, the oi ly
cotupanl nit meet for one so goo 1 and pure ut
lie."
The ttmiig man bowed hit head on his
Clasped handt. Eric was deeply moved, aud
hi felt sure, that uwrry whom lis would, Lit
mother's memory would ever be kept fresh aad
green in his father's tender, loving heart.
At lust Captiln Von Hansen raised hit hetd
and said cently, "Eric, you know I could nevtr
be content in the marriage, I am about to make,
if I felt you were estranged from me. Will
you not consent lo It, and promise to love my
wife '"
Father, 1 love you far too well to ever long
oppose any step you may take. If it addt to
your happiness to marry again, far h It, from
your son, to wlioin you have always been so
indulgent, to embitter your happiness. Dear
father, do as you think btit, and I will ucver
complain again. I trust you will forget all I
have said that wounded you to-day. I cannot
promise to love your -your wi', but I will
ny. You have not vet mentioned Iter name."
Did I not? How forgetful lu lun-Th
lady Is Miss M iry Calvert, front Baltimore.
Her parents are dead, ami the supports herself
by teaching music, glio tit had a rather hard
time of ll, po ir little girl, Uut you and I will
see that hs has no inoit bad timet eh Eric ?"
Erie smiled faintly. Ills father stood up,
and laying hit ttrong arm around hit son's
slight form whispered a warm "liod bless you
dear lad," them releasing him Walked quickly
awuy.
Eric never forgot that first meeting with hit
father's young wife. It was a lovely evening
in September when they came, and the b -auti
fill home of the Von Haiisttis' looked Itt pret
tiest iu the dying rays of the departing sun,
iric expected to see a tall slim young lady,
who would overpower him with her superior
airs and gracet, but when he hobbled out lo
the cari'l.ign to welcome the travelers, hit
father lifted out a small girlish figure, clad in
some dark stuff, wavy brown hair gleamed hr
netith Hie j.iiinly little hat, largo brown eyes
were timidly lifted to his with a pleading light
in their soft, luminous depths, us if tlie owner
begged him to be friend with her, and a small,
fairy like hand was extended to him, at his
father introduced tfiem, Eric wus conscious
that all his fears and doubt, left liliu at he
genily tmk in hi the outstretched hand, and
turning to hi father he said laughing "Why
father, whst a tiny girl-mother you tasve
brought me, I think I must call her by the
sweet Uerman name 'Stlefinuetterchen."
Hi father smiled, well pleased at his son's
reception of bis wife, and as lor "Hie utile
step mother," her eyes were brimming with
grateful tears, tit she thought of the restful
haven that was her'e heiici forth.
Oh ! what pi uccful, happy days were those
the little family enjoyed through thu fall and
winter. All the home pleasures were restored
and Erie enjoyed them with a keener ais:
now that lie ban a companion of nearly his
own uge to share llietn. Hit father too stetned
to grow young again in their society, and bis
forlv-two tears rested lightly on the broad
forehead and commanding form. It Wat a hap
py household, united by love uud peace, show
ing a woman s tender care aim loving; pres
ence. 7'he du)pssed to quiikly that sprint; came
,ilni"s.t ere they were aware. One evening lu
M iv, I'aptais Vou lUuscn and hit wife were
landing at the drawing room window watch
ing Eric, as lie slowly limped uloug the gravel
drive.
Mary do you not percolve that Eric has
grown unusually thin una pine mis tpiing r
I notice too Hint hu lias no npnetite, mi l is
lisllcst, und given to wandering olt alone. I
really must have doctor lilake sec him. What
do you think about him."
The captain did not look at his wife, to did
not tee the look of pain on her face at the
watched Eric. But the answered his question
quietly, "l thlnk he need rhange more than
uuvlhitig else. Suppose you let hi in go to the
mountains to spend the summer."
"I think It an excellent plan and proposed
ll to him yesterday, but hu would not listen to
It for a moment. Humid
"Well?" the asked.
He said that be wanted to die at borne. The
captain turned lo hit wife a tad, gram face,
but be lu.ned visibly paler as bo looked at the
drooping fill ui and quivering fare before him
"Mary, what Is the matter ? Are you faint my
darling? 'oorliltle girl ! I should nol have
toll you so abruptly of what Eric laid. You
must not mind it dear, it it only a diseased
f hu j of Ills hr ilu I will havu the doctor to
sec him a d he will t ion bi; well." Her hus
band so.itlie her fondly as she lay like a broken
lily iu kit arm, thinking what a loving, tenitrr
heart was liris, lo care o much for lilt stiu'a
tin ea ened doom. Yes.lt was useless to ties
ceive hlrasclf, he felt too turely the bitter
truth that Ilia "dear lud" Was slowly but surely
p issing away, .'very tiling love und wealth
could accomplish wat done for him, but it Wat
of no avail. In vain they tried to arouse him
fro u hit melancholy, he would smile gently
und tenderly at their loving ellorls, and sink
again Into seeming Spathy seeming apathy I
lay, for III spite of the quiet littlestiiett of his
hearing before hit father and Mary a tierce
war was raging In Ills young heart that threat
ened conquest notwithstanding all bis sluggle
to subdue it. ll hid come upon Eric wlih
overwhelming force that hu bad Irarned to
love hit fatlnr'e wife wilh the wild paislouate
d votion Hi it a in in gives to only one woman
in the world. II" knew it wit madness und

struggled, against It muifuliy. - lit t'lrtiK I

How he scorned himself f ir lilt weuknes wlln
he found all his efforts useless. Hill the
s'tug.'le proved loo severe for the frail ho 'y
and Eric kn -w lh.it In d tr were nil .nliere.l
Knowing this, he would not consent to leave the
ll iiue he loved o well, so day uf t T day he
grew feebl r and f eUr, and at last was
obliged to keep lilt room altng'iliur.

"Oh ! Eric, yov must not talk that. You

"No," he, aiswrred quietly. "I shall never
get well again. But I am not afraid of death.
I am willing to go. I have had a torrow Mary
that only death can cure. So you must not
wish me to tike up the burden of life again,

So it will be with us. We shall mtct again,

infinite happiness of that meeting?" the wat
kneeling by hit lounge trying to contml the
grief that ihook her slight form. Ho put hit
hand gently on the bowed head. "Hush,
Mary you mutt not cry to, I canuot heir It.
If you only knew wsth a poor, spoiled life,
mine Is, you would rejoice to have me go."
"Eric, Eric, you send my heiirt. Oh why
did 1 ever come hero to rulu the life that
might have been to blessed!'' ,
He raised himself and looked at the bowed,
trembling figure wildly.
"Ah ! Maty you hate discovered the secrrt,
I havo tiled ( hard to ront eal" he eiclalmed.
"Well, you tee the snuggle wat toe much
for me, ani I will cxplute my guilt with life
My ltfu was a happy one until 1 tinned, but
you must not grieve, or blatau yourself In the
least. It it u relief to imf now, to know that
you hold my secret, tud still do not quite lute
or despise me."
"Hate ! Detpiso you ! "Oh 1 Eric, I."
"Yet I, know you arc tuo good und pure to
despise any of Cod's creatures, yoi only pity
me. Well, I i nn bear your pity, and I feel eure
that, when I am dead, you will tometlmet
think sadly and tenderly of (lie lame lad who
learned to love you better than all the world,
und whose heart broke in his efforts to con
quer his guilty love. You will forgive me
when I am lu the grate dear Mary, and you
will roiuforl my father at only you can. Huth,
husk dear, you must not sob so. Il kills me
to hear you cry. I-lovo you-dea ." He
fell back on his couch. One gasping sigh he
gave, and all wai over. He had indeed died
of a broked heart.
That evening when all was quiet, a small
white llgurc slole Into the room where hi
body lay. The "stlefinuetterchen" gated long
on the peaceful, quiet face and at latt the
white lips quivered and pal ted, and the whis
pered softly: "Yes A'nc you know the truth
now. You never guessed It, und It was best
to, ttill, ll will not be wrong for me to whis
per Just once, that l loved yt)u. Ynu were so
good, and kind, and gentle, I could not help
loving you. But It is all over now, the ttrue
gle, and pain, and shame, uud the love that
was our sin In life, will uot hu a crime In the
world above. Adieu." She bent over him and
pressed one kiss on the cold brow, thru
turned and left the room.
The turf was green on Erie's grave, when
Mary Von Hansen told her husband the sad
story of her love, und when the knelt before
him and whispered tho one word "Forgive"
he look her In hit arias tud kissed her ten
derly. The subject wat never mentioned
again.
AFTER WANT YEARS.
A SKIUOl'S INCI1IKNT WITH A IIKC I tllil) IMMOIIAI..
An old man, the ton of a prominent Arkan
suw gentleman, eame from a northeru slate
tevoral weeks ugo on a visit. Forty yeart ago
Ihe ole geutlemtn wat a coiiviviallit and drank
whiskey wilh that lack of restraint character
ising a free American citixeo of the day. The
old gentleman, though, became a temperance
niHU aud lectured throughout the country.
When old age tame upon htm he tat in tlie
twilight of life's mellowing evening, happy lu
tho reflection that veart und years before hu
had eouquured the serpent and was wai:lng
for the reward promised the tuber, vigilaut and
good.
Shortly after arriving iu Arkansas some one
sent hit son's wifu a demijohn of native wine.
'Father," said the young woman, who knew
unfiling of the old mail t former habits, "a
neighbor has presented me with some of the
Unvst native wine you over saw. Have a glass
of it "
No child, Iuever drltik."
"But vou can taste lint Just for my take.

it?"
"Well, pour nit out about a spoonful. Ah,"
he said when he hid tipped il. "Very pleas
ant. Collide more iiuKinfullt, please," aud
he glanced vlgulllcantly at the demijohn.
When the woman went out loaee about dinner,
the old mail sat and twilled bit thumbs lu

the knees are weak a d the joints grow still,
dauccd in supple freedom of action through

I'll ahl: "Old teeth gone. Have seen the

It is to tarry long at the wine, who think thit
native wine It the milk of human Kiudiii-it
t ie balm like cordial that titothei but lieter
Intoxicate!, entertain a mistaken Idea of the
liquid whose name Hguret in all literature.
I he son's wife, hearing an o ld noise, hur-

matt dancing tho recollections of a Jig.

SENATOR JONES UT POKER.
BEATEN BT WASlltNOTON SHARPS, HE SntlBWDLT
TAKliS HSVENOE.
George L. Waters, the colored Janitor of tho
City hall at Washington, related an Incident to
a reporter concerning a big poker game In
which Senator John 1. Join t, of Nevada, wm
player. Waters bad been in tho employ of
certain cougrettmen around the capitol at
Washington for many years, and hit statement
may be accepted at true. It was teveral yean
ago, before the millionaire had become
thoroughly posted in the wuys of Washington
aocicly. Almost before he had thoroughly
warmed hit seat In tho senate he wn Intro
duced lu the Dlslilct club, of which Bos
8hepard wat a prominent member, 1'. ker, tt
that time, was the prominent recreation of the
club, sud Jones wat Induced to take a hand.
Allotigh a good poker-player, he retired from
the game a Inter to Ihe amount of (70.000. The
senator, hating a few silver mines at his link
for pocket money, wat gam", and did not al
low the least expression of chagrlo or dlstru-t
1 1 escape him. J'bc next morning he teles
graphed to one of tlie most expert card sharps
iu Virginia City. Eight days afterwards the
gambler arrived In Washington, dressed in a
very expensive suit of clothes and sponlnga
small fortune In the wti of diamond. Jones
Introduced him to the members of the club at
a mining millionaire from Nevada, and the
star route frauds aud aavy yard thlevet Imme
diately made arrangements to pluck Mm. lie
accepted an invitation to play. The stakes
ran high, and the spurious million ill c was
well supplied with Jones' money. At the end
of the tournament the ttranger roe from the
table the winner of fllOO.OOO of the money of
the club. It was a tovcru blow on the ring
ttert, but they made the people of the Untied
Slates pay It back to them them Indirectly and
In ihnrt order. Jones divided the swii with
his friend, and never tot fool in the club room
again. It wat not long after before tin rlng
stert found out that they lu been beaten at
their own game, but they were nol In a position
to make any fns about it.
