leaturcs though i"ss regularly formed,

and goodness of heart, gaxoJ at the j

i **W hp so, N\ ells ' You certainly did

i.e, s!ie wou! 1 hive broken tlic engage

k Aud knowing this, yon would have
held her to its fulfillment'
'Not being su.'.ieiently disinterested
to refuse the i-ift of fifty thousand dol
lars, I rather think 1 should.'
'Vou arc not worthy of a true-hearted
woman lileo Kllen Neal!' was the in
dignant respond .
*Then so much the better for For that
I should J ivt; her to be appropriated
by some one that is—you, for instance. '
It strikes me that you used to bo some
what interested in that quarter: now is
the time, 1 I fell >w, for you to go and
win.'
Charles Ilaydcn scarcely heard the
covert sneer in these words, so uiucii
was he engrossed by the new born hope j
| that had sprung up iu hi* heart, aud
which made its pulses beat so quickly I
and strongly.

•Oh, no, certainly not : far better

'1 don't belk'vo I've got any,' was
the laughing rejoinder. 'lf 1 have, 1
have never boon aide to discover it.—
Never fear for me, guardie ; 1 dare say
I shall be as happy with Frederick as
with any one.'
Vet in spite of tlieso lightly spoken
words, there rose up before her mental
vision one with whom she knew she
couiil be fir happier. Hut even if she
had been free to choose, how did she
know he would choose her 1 True she

"Miss NRHI'S misfortune! What tho

In spite of all his rtl'.u:-, .Mr. Wills

i '.Vou put it rather hardily, lie aid,
forcing a sin:le; 'but we won't quarrel
about terms.'
I 'Very geod. All I have to say is,
J that what you arc pleased to Term Miss
Neal ' misfortune, promises to be the
i host tiling that could happen to her
! tiuod morning.
When Mr. Thornly saw his wml
again in the evening his couutetaiicc
wore a curious txj rc>sioii.
j '1 have news for you, Kllen cue
portion of it rather bad, but the oil .
so good as to mure than make up for :
Indeed, as I told a certain young inn i
this morning, 1 consider it the b ■
thing lliat could possibly 1,.; e happened
to you. First, for the lid ; tin- bai .
iu which your money was invested, h;.-
gone up, and won't probably pay tw •
cents on the dollar. .Now for the goou
in consequence of this, Mr. Frederick
Wells called to cxpi i his regrets th it

ui'ss of iiiakiu • f
'ls it possible ?' exclaimed Kllen.— t
How 1 must have been deceived in him. I
1 thought ho loved me lor myself alone,
i), Mr. Thornly, how tlmnkful I ought
to be that 1 have discovered how lal.'.e
Ins heart H, before it was too late.'
'.dr. llaydesi is iu the pari .r, and
wants to see Miss Kllen,' said a servant
opening the door.
Kllen entered tho parlor iu a rather
perturbed state of uiiiid : niut.li as shu
rejoiced at her escape, she could not
I but feel deeply gi iow lat this iisi ver\
of the ii.i worth inc.-1 of liiiu, whom sue
! had hitherto esteemed so highly
highly as to often reproached herself
I that she could not love him as ho de
! served.
Mr. Ilayden's mind was, also, unrdi
disturbed, though from a very diilereut
' cause. ,
It was in vain that young gentleman
\ tried to recall that neat little speech,
J that lie had conned over on lis way to
the house; as Usual iu suali cases, it
eouipletely vanished from his mini as
t soouas he found himself iu the prejenoj
! of tin* lady, for whose bouo.U it was in
!tended.
At last, making a desperate eiTort lie
broke ilie rather embarrassing sileutv by
saying:
"My dear Miss Neal, I have heard of
\ our los> of furtune, and cannot exp. i «>
what a great burden it lifted froiu my
heart. I was so truly rejoiced, as to
l unite forget.
Hero, startled by the indignant aston
. iilimcut depicted upon Klleu's comttcn
■ ance, tho poojr fellow siamiuurud, and
then stopped.
'Sir—Mr Ilayden,' faltered Kllen,
deeply wounded at language so different
from what she had anticipated. 'I am
at a loss to understand why you should
rejoice over my misfortune.'
'Dear one, I know it is very selfish
ill mo, aud yet I was never half so hippy
in my life as when 1 learned that I might,
without being accused of unworthy mo
tives, tell you what a privilege 1 should
dce.n it to cherish and care for you, as
man cherishes and cares for the dearest
object of his love''
Tho sudden revolution of feeling,
caused by these words, sent warm, hap
py tears to Kllcu's eyes.
"1 thank heaven for the reverse of
fortuuo that has given- nio the rich
. treasure of jour love," she murmured,
as she laid her hands softly in his.
Half an hour later the lovers were
receiving the congratulation*, and the
warm approval of Kllcu'* guardian.
The old gentleman listened sil r.ilv,
and with evident enjoyment to too plans
ihey 1 lid for tho future.
"I'm sorry to spoil your prelty ro
mance of a.ove in a Cottage, * and all
that sort of thing he said at last, 'but 1
the tact is, Kllen—though I told you
y..ur fortune was unvested in the Holtou
Uank—l happened to withdraw the
money the week before ii failed. 1 hit
don't b.. downhearted about it'my young
friends, you will find plenty of people
who will gladly reloive you of its bur
thens. If you can't dispose of it an
other way you might donate it to found
a "mission School" for the "Fejeo Mer- .
Inai Is," or some other equally as practi
blc missionary enterprise."
Wo can't s;._v as to whether our young
coup! • followed * ii' sQggij>.'ion but till
we do know, that throughout her 10112
and bapjiy mart led life, Kllen often had
occa.-iou to bless thoforturmtc blunder.

1 Wonder it a good many of the titled
snobs who visit America are not drawn

is Mrs. Stewart, worth anywhere from

A SL'IRJ UN'TILPS.;. ILII).
1 wonder how many of the hundred
who lo out at the lake eveiy day and
SPC the crib-tower rising against a blue 
or gray skv, as the ease may be, know
of a scene that took place there nearly
three years ago !
At t'oe tune of which I -peak the crib- ;
keeper was a Finn named Kalstrom, a
gigantic man and heavy in proportion j
10 his size, lie wis known about the'
wharves as "l!ig Charlie," and his claim ;
to distinction was that he had, ts lie j
-aid, "gomiuaiided a bark of a dousand \
duns,'' in which he had sailed the North |
Sens, and iu which, Viking like, he leu 1 |
carried oil his wife, a ,, (
girl, from Drogbcda, one of'tba Mat I
ports of Ireland. She was a small wo- j
man, with gray ov ev and long black lash- !
r |
es. Sl.e had strongly marked c) brow.s (
and a mass of waving black hair that
crept iu little curls around her temples
and the lnpo of her neck. She had the
piquant nos; of I or race and a generous
mouth filled with strong white teeth, j
It was in March, and the day was one |
of those soft, treacherous ones that lure j
unwary flowers to their destruction, ami j
sow pneumonia and broueliitis broadcast, j
The suit shone warmly, and the great
lake seemed to dream of spring- '
time.
The crib-larder was like Mother Hub
bard's cupboard, air! Kalstroiu took his ,
nail boat and rowed ashore. In the j
few hours h. spent among the shops and
in taking a slass of beer with his friends, t
11 wind changed, and when lie reached
the shore with his stores, he found the !
lake churned up to the fury peculiar to
inland seas.
Ho was worried, but had such confi
dence iu his little Irish girl, as he called I
her, that he .' pent the night very quietly |
The next day fund the storm as wild as
ever, and he spent the hours of daylight I
stliding up aud down the shore, lor by !
this time he knew the few provisions had
, givtn out, and that hi wife was actually !
.•.ulTcrlug tor ibod. Twice he launched i
his bout, and twice it swamped.
At dark ihe gleamed out from j
the crib-top, but to Kalstrcm's ojro it ■
had a halciul glare, and morning found ,
him determined "To go ev I hev to j
-wim vor it," as he swore with some i
round Scandinavian oaths. Fortunately I
the wind was more quiet, and after hard !
1 work he cauu under the lee of the crib I
walls. Ili.s wife had spied htm, and
she east him a in oscd rope from the lop
story of the crib ; for the waves rolled
so high that all the storm-doors and I
shutters were battened down and the
white caps spit at the lantern as tliey j
drove before the wind.
lie caught the rope, mid passed up
his bundle ot supplier. She dropped it
a second tiuic: and, just as begot it under >
his arms, a great wave swampcu the boat, i
leaving hiui clinging to the wall, blind- ,
1 e.i. aud bruised, and depending on the '
iittSo wc man up aloft for his life.
' Mie began hauling 011 the rope, and
had drawn him as high us the sili-fraiuc
—he thrusting fingers and toes into
whatever crevices t tiered. As he reach- '
ed his right baud up, the wind came
round the corner with a yell and tore
him loose, dropping liiiu into ttic lake
but tuo faithful Irish girl paid out the
line as fast as she could and he found
himself with a chance for life still 111 his
reach.
Up he came, hand over hand, and as
ho entered the window he saw her fall,
aud in the dim light he noticed a strange
discoloration of her face, 11 black stain
'on the bright rag carpet, and the fact
that her dress was torn to rags iu
! front.
Well, to ni'il: 1 a long -t 'ty hort, when
he picked her up he found the wedding
linger of her left hiiud entirely gone, and
the tendon ripped out up to tho elbow.
It had been caught between the rope
aud the stone casing when he fell, and
his great weight playing against the
wedding-ring had ihmo the mischief.
Uut, as she said, "it weren't a tune for
faiutiu*, Miss." And she hauled him
up with the right hand ami those strong,
white teeth.
The lugging of the hemp had cut her
mouth criudly, and she had ground her
knees against the wall so desperately
that the thick stuff-gown that she wore
was (rayed through and through.
That uuht the wind shri ked and
roared ii.l toe lake went mad wuli tiie
boise, and the Waves threw their spray
among ihe pigeons under the eve of the
lan!ein-r.>i a? 1 the injured woman
moaned threu«di the house for tho relief
mat could iioi comc. kaUiroin signal

aficr the au'idciit a boat got out, and
NO. 47*
Mi*. Kalstrnui was taken to the hospi
tal where the wound was drested, and "
wiioro she lay manv a weary day.
When I saw her first, I noticed with
great satipfactK ti tlmt a fall of pretty
lair covered her maimed hand, and that
'•l'iff Charlie" under his rough husk,
held a real reverence and affection for
her. To these feelings he bore witness
everywhere, and when his friends would
j l.iy upon biin, and say half in jest aud
halt in earnest : "Ah, Charlie, you'roa
fine fellow, ain't you he would answer /
with naive conceit and confidence : f
'•Vase, 1 am ; for I hef gon ui mded a
bark of a Cdousanu duns; but derc'fi a
better dan mo at luiine. And ev tiny
body says 'Kalstrom's a vine yellow,'
■ en gau dell him, 'Vase, but Kalstroui's
(wife is iv vitier.' " "
A iii Istiiken Idea.
A* soon as a boy leaves school and
I >' i>- about to see what lie shall do next
he is very likely to be told by some un
wise person,"The world owes you a
liviiiL'." This probaby strikes him as
being a very wise remark, and the boy
says to himself, "If it is true that the
! w. rid owes me a living, then I'm aJI
( right." lie finds a place goes to work
iimiilully ■ but after a time be concludes
I that thare is no fuu in it, and be stops
to consider : "it' the world ows me a
living why should 1 troublo myself
Let the world pay its debt to me."
Suddenly lie loses his place and lias
nothing to do. lie is surprised, and
wonders why the world does not give
him his due. "As nice bed, warm clothes
and regular dinners are good things aud
I outflit to have them. The world owes
them to lue, and it' 1 do not get them
I've been cheated out of luy rights.'
At one time this country was a wil
lcrncss, where no man could live, save
l t»y lighting the wild beasts. Some ono
chased away the bear and wolves, cut
down the forest, laid out roads, built
.owns and dug canals. Homebody spent
\ast sums of money in constructing
r i:l-yards, steamboats, docks, lighthous
es, schools, libraries, and all the tine
things you enjoy so freely. More than
ibis, somebody pays policemen, the fire
| 0" *i. Uv. itofJu-i-, Miltir, ttic lighthouse
f keeper and sehool-iuasters.
From the day you were born your
father nod mother have fed, clothed,
j i.lid sheltered you. It las cost you
j nothing. ;oiie of these great public
works, ruads, canals, towns, navies, and
irioits cost you anything. Now can
you say the world owes you a living 1
Is it not you who are in debt ? What
lias a boy done to deserve this ' Not a
; thing, it is you who must pay—not
the world.
Ah! boys, he was a foolish cicaturc
' who first said, "The world owes me a
living." ilo told a very silly fable. Tho
world owes no man a living till he has
done some worthy deed, some good
work to make the world better and a
; faster place to live in. Those oli fel
i lows w ho dug canals and laid out towns,
who built cities and invented these
-|.lendid thing—these telegraghs, these
-hips, these magnificent engines,—had
the right idea. They worked manfully
and the world at last did owe them a
living, and paid it many times over. If
youuiean to get out of the great debt
you owe the world, do something, go to
work and show you arc a man. Then,
when you have shown the world you can
work, it will gladly pay you a living,
and t he finer and more noble your work
tho greater will be your reward.
