Three years have sped swiftly by sineu that sad interview between doctor (Jrey and Dorothea in the library at thu (Jrey House, and the Christmas tide is again at hand, bringing to those two, sad, tender memories of that one Christmas they spent together and learned both the sweetness and bitterness of life. They have not seen each other since, lor atter one other vain appeal to JWotliea, doctor (Jrey led his liiiuii', mid fur three years wandered in strange laiuU, with an ever aching paiu tit his heart, that time seemed to have no power to cure. Hut at lat he has re turned once mure to his native land, brought hither by an intense longing to k mice more into those deep, liiiuid grey eyes which uii'y, of all eyes in ihe. world, had power to stir ami thrill to its ikviest depths his brave, strong heart. He knew from Hannah, who was now lack Woleott's Inil'l'V wife, and who sli'1 lived with lu r mother nt the old (Irey House, that IWiitlii-a lived a secluded life, never mingling in the society of the iieighliiii'liiaHl, though it constant visitor of thi! in or and ulllitted, being to them tin au!cl of help uiul comfort. Hamuli lidded "She is more reserved than form erly, and it gives me the henrt-achc to watch In r itiet, pale laee, nnd that pa thetic droop about the month.

Doctor ( irey reads this last letter of his sister's, as he speed swiftly home ward, and there is a dull throbbing pain tit hishcuii.ua he reads. 11ns pain deei ened a few hours later its he sat by his sister's side, and hears of the lonely life led by the occupant of "The Woods," and of the sad, hopeless look of th once bright young luce. I he pain is still deeti cr as the) nic-lit closes in, and he finds himself alone in the library, while memory v '.tli all its ' sweet find bitter, mils and Huntes around lim. "I ciin stand it no longer," ho erios, goaded beyond eudur mice; und tnutchiug his hut from the table haves the house. Walking w ith long swift strides, he Don reaches '"Tito Woods," and ringing the bell gains admittance. 1 ho servant know him instantly,. nnd telling him the ladies are in the blue parlor, leaven hiiu to tru verse alone the familiar ha'ls. lie opens the door of tbt) blua parlor and entering see Pitrolhca sitting at the far end of the riaiiii, buiW writing.

"I did not know you were in America, When did you reach Imuie?" Her voice trembles slightly in spite ol her eflotui to speak quietly and indiffer ently, and the hand she placed lit shakes visibly. He t'id not speak at nil, only stood gaging into her white, worn face, with pained, miserable eyes. At At lust she cull stand his serutiuii'.iig look no longer, and finding her effort to with draw her hand from Ins strong grasp use less, she looked ath' uwlth great tears wcllini! tin in ber eyes. The liolit from tbo swinging lump fr'U fell upon her light, thin rigc re, uiul mid, patient face. 'Dorothea!" be cried bitterly, "how i.: .i v. i i... .ii.ui :..

It will be much easier to I releases ber, and taking the small face be- I lam. I ner on wash day without grumbling," tell you my story than to write it. May 1 tell you now "YeB," he aj gentlv, sill the passion ha lull his face, nnd he i." ealiu again, listening quietly to what she says. "It will not take uie long, she begins, 'I ean tell you in a few words. My mother was a beautiful French girl; poor, but of respectable parentage. My father thought she luvcd bun, but hardly a month had passed rftcr he married her before he found out that she loved a cousin of her'g, a young man in the army, and that she ouly married my father for his wealth, and because her father threatened to turn her out of diKjrs if she refused him. After that my father never had a happy moment, lint his grief did not make bim unkind to her ho loved her too fondly. Ho gratified every wish ol her heart, and tried to win her nH'eeliiins by unceasing kindness. It was in vain, They had been married only two years, and I was only a few mouths old. Oil liuw can I tell the miserable truth! she left bin nnd her cousin went with lu r. My father was nearly distracted with rage and grief; he followed them, and m two weeks came up With them in a quiet, out of thu way villago in (lennany. There was a meeting arranged, and before a month passed away my father reti'iied to Paris, (wherti we were then ''vingbiinging my mother with him, and leaving her uiifoi,uiiate cousin sleeping under German soil with a bullet through bis beau. Tho shame; Yes, I know it wait the shame and horror of her conduct, and the iolent end of her cous in's life, caused my mother the loss of her mind. She went raving mad but my poor father watched over her w'.th a care as tender as it was restrictive. He brought ber to his native state, hoping entire change of place and scenes would benefit her, but it did no good; she grew worse every yc.ir, and his presence or rrinc threw her into the most ungoverna ble rage. At last bis cares proved too much to bear; his bitter glief for his w''e. his unceasing remorse for the crime he committed in taking human life all com bined, had their effect in hastening the end. Ho died when I had just reached my seventeenth year, lea: ing to mo the carejof my mother, beseeching me iu the most so'emn words never to torsnko her. I have been frthful to the trust n'tKed in me. I broutrht inv poor mother to this place, and by a liberal use of money obtained a room for her in the Insane syh n near Overton, .where I could be v '.th her frequently, and where no one but the physician, superintendent, and the nurse I employed, would know of her presence. Dy some menus Tom llccvcs found out my secret, and I had to bribe him to keep silence. My mother hog been my sacred care for six long years. She went to sleep last Thursday night quietly ns an infant, with her head rest ing on my bosom, and a prayer tor for iveucss on her hps. I can never feel atefti' en nigh that she came to her right mind before she died and wus sorry for the past. I feel that she was for given her sin, and it comforts me inex pressibly to think how calmly she met death, t. listing implicitly in our Saviour's merey. She was buried last night after lark. Aunt Mary, her nurse, and my self followed her to her last resting place. "1 have told you all now, doctor Grey; you now understand all that was dark and mysterious in tho past. I have so many painful associations with this ejuntry, that I haye persuaded aunt Mary to come with me to Europe. Wo think of taking a villa in some pleasant spot in f ranee ami, in living among new scenes and faces, forget all tho bitterness of past expel icucei 'In this search of youis afur lorgetful- n -ss am 1 to be classed among the things tj be forgotten?"

"I wou'd not; she says with tears in her eyes, "give up one of the least of the trials 1 have borne, since through them I have won such love from you." She slips one arm about his neck, and bending he lays his face softly against her cheek. A few months later and doctor Grey and orotheu Kger.on were married in the old church where they first saw each other. Theirs was u quiet marriuge, and when it was over the bride and urooni eli immediately for Kurope. It would be imiHissible to picture the happiness of those two on I hat auspicious occasion.

That is not a life worth living. There tire too many earthquakes in it, too many shipwrecks, too many tier ditions. They build their eestles and oja-n their picture galleries und make every in ducement for happiness to come, but she w.ll not. So also a life that chiefly strives for worldly approval is a failure.

A PHOCKlUmAN COFFIN. Several farmers of Oak Creek, who brought produce to the South side yes terday, brought intelligence of a strange burial which occurred there last trnlay. Horace lialdwm died last week. He was remarkably tall, bis army description mak- ing him six feet seven inches. Iu cases where his comrades would have biH'ii wounded in the breast he would stop the bullets with his stomach. He was so conspicuously tall that he was given a sobriquet appropriate Jo his stature, lie could not stand army life very well and soon gave it up. Friday, when the neighbors gathered ut the farm-house to do honor to bis memory by following the remains to the grave, it was lound that the colli n had been made for a six-footer. aud was therefore seven inches too short. The corpse could not bo squeezed into the casket and so, rather than to disappoint the people waiting outside, n relative ran into the woodshed for n saw and began leliberately to saw off nbnut eight inches of the dead man's -legs. He thought the corpse moved and fainted. 1 hereupon mother relative seized the wood-saw und completed the sliorttminj; process. Tho severed members were bent back, the coflin lid fastened anil the funeral cortege wended its way to tbo Oak Creek ceme tery. I he story has created a great sen nation in Oak Creek, and those who did the remarkable savage thing are severely censured. Milwaukee rVnhiirt. Ill) V A homi:. Hon. George Harstow gave good ad vice in a speech on the subject of "home. He said every man should own his own home if he can. That philosophy which tells a man to drill over uncertain life without a home of his own, is wrong The innu who owns not his own hoine is like a ship out in the open sea at the hazard of the storm. A man that owns his home is like a ship that has arrived in port, and is moored in a safe harbor. I would say to every mnu, buy a home it vou can, and own it. it a windfall conies to you, buy a home with it. yp you have laid up nuniey enough by toil, buy a home. If you have made money in sttsjks, buy a home. Do not hit unybody tempt you to put all your earnings back into the pisil. Take out enough to buy a home, and buy it. Put the rest buck if you will. Gamble on if you must; but buy the home hrst. liny it and sell it nut Then the roses that bloom there are yours the clematis aud jasuiiue that climb upou the porch belougto you. You have plant- ed them and seen them grow. When you are at work upon them, you are work iug for yourself, not for others. If there are children, there are flowers within and without, liny a home.

Angot gulden hair has never gone out of fashion, and whero na ture failed to provide it art has stepped in as it generally most conveniently does whenever fashion requires it. Who has not seen the "golden hair-dye" advertised? And who has not. since the uiiDcarunce of the advertisement, noticed a considerable increase of straw-colored that is to say, golden hair? As yet it is smuggled on to the toilot-tublo as eve-lotion or a tonic, but it is to b feared that such precautions will soon liecoinn luteins before the ruvcla- tion f the interviewer. "Young man," says an American professional hair-dyer, "before you get married stroke your love i hair." Hair-dye makes hair "brittle as glass." lint there is no need for such a test ; the "young mau" might arrive ut tbe truth before he is on such intimate terms with a lady as the above suggestion itn - plies. It is better advice to mark wheth- er the color of the hair changes, aud the blonde is now and then a bruuette, fr even if she is most careful to rub the "wash" in with a sponge, she is not always successful, and the dark natural color may be noticed even by people not over-obscrv- ant, NOT lMOLS.

He has some stern battles to tight with poverty, with enemies und with sin, and be needs a woman, that, as he puts his arm around her, feels that he bus something to fight for, will help him fight, who will put her lips to his ear and whisper Words of counsel, nnd her liaml to lus heart ana im part new inspiration. All through life through storm and sunshine, conflict and victory; through adverse and favorable winds man needs a woman's love. The heart yeans for it. A sister's and a nioth- er's love will hardly Btipply the need. Yet inany seek nothing further than house work. Justly enough hall of these get nothing more, The other half, surprised above measure obtain more than they sought. Their wives surprised them by giving a nobler idea of marriage and dis- closing a treasury of courage, sympathy ami love. VANCE AS A .IOKER. Vance, of North Carolina, is a large, heavily built man, with a heavy gray moustache, a twinkle in his eye, and a lover of u joke that knows no limitation. He is un inexhaiistable story teller, und he is rarely caught without some retort or re partee ut hand. A newspaper man was telling him one day that he was about starting for a rather out-of-the-way por tion of the Senator's own Slate and was asking something about the accommoda tions he was likely to find. "They'll give you some of their fried hog and eggs," ho replied, "flints better than nothing, said the newspaper num. "1 don't know I don't know," the Senator answered iu u dubious tone ; "I've tried both."' Vance was in the Southern army, and is a little lame as the result. He was in one of the battles before ltichuinml, where the fighting was particularly hot. A startled rahbitt appeared for a moment ou a fallen tree, uiul then, ut a murderous discharge ot musketry, united tike an ar row for the underbrush. Gencri'l Yuneo had noticed him, and us he flew for cover the (ieneral culled out, in a manner uiul left no doubt as to his absolute sincerity : "Go it, cotton tail ! If I hadn't a reputa tion to maintain, I would run too." Houston VW. KECOGNITION. (Atlanta Coiistilution.) There are certain rules iu regard to rec oguition I hat should be observed. It seems a trivial thing and yet is important. Al ways bow to one you know, and thissbuuld be done ut once, us soon us your eyes meet; don't wait to see if they are going to bow to you first; that does not matter so you do your duty. This rule is the same for cither lady or gentleman. It used to be customary for a lady to bow first when met ting u gentleman, but this point is fust growing obsolete, A gentleman should always lift his hut to a ludy, und if smoking, must remove his cigar from his mouth before bowing. Never fail to return a bow even should it be a case of mistaken identity. And licr be of bowing at one time and hot another- it is the height of dudciiess. It is cti- quette for a gentleman who is stopped by a lady upon the slreot to turn and walk with her while they ure conversing, but be is not culled upon to escort her boiuo; be can leave ber at any time, merely DOWing. Til AT WAS WHY. "A man was found, who is, perhaps, tbe most prouiiinut example ot absent-miml- ness on record," read Mrs. Mildew to her hubby the other evening. "is that so, HI oilier n Mat did lie do. 1 "He lives in one of three bouses in New York city, all of which are alike, and he walked iuto uue of them and was in the I act of going to bed when the owner came home and ncurly beat bim to death.
