"I was thinking," and the speakei threw her hands over her head witt a yawn, theD, with a merry little laugh, "I was thinking what fun ii is all going to be." And she gazed placidly and admiringly at the pret. ty little slippered feet nestling 03 the hassock. "I am awfnliy afraid I will give myself away, though I never dreamed it would be so hard to pose for a poor teacher, off for a little vacation.'' "Yes, 1 thought last night yon were going to give us away, when Sir. Lamed asked if you taught in the city.1' They both, laogbed merrily. "Wasn't it funny ? I was so to tally unprepared, and did not know what to say." "You did very well after the first second, but 1 must confess I was a tittle scared.' "I wonder if he sospected any thing," said Madge. "I think not, but we will have to be very careful, my role is not so hard, that of a friend who desired I rest and quiet, after nursing a sick I friend ; 1 wish, though, I had taken ! Home other.'' j "We cannot change or I woold I offer to do so, for I aw mightily at- j r aid I wiil nci succeed ; it was such fun last night when Mr. Larued a$ked me if I knew any of the Lewis family, to refer him to you, when I am engaged to Fred, and say I thought yon did, but be must not expect poor teachers to know society people," "Das Fred any idea where you are?" "No, I told him I thought it would be good for us both not to see or hear of each otbei for a time; as we are to be married in the fall.it woold be a pity to get tired of each other before that time, afterwards it will not matter much." ''What in the world are you mar rying Fred for, Madge ?" "Keally, Katherine, that is a hard question lor me to answer; I sup pose because he asked me, and it was necessary for me to marry some one. "Why necessary 1" "Don't you intend to marry said Madge, opening wide her eyes. 'Perhaps so, but not for that rea son." "What one then f Kathenne's face flushed a bright scarlet, as she replied, after a mo ment's hesitation. "I tbink marriage is a veiy sacred and solemn thing, and before I would promise to live with one per Bon all my life, and take those vows, I would like to feel that he is ia some degree necessary to my hap piness." "Why, Katheiiue, ia it possible you are so romautic? I never thought it of ycu. So you would marry for love?'' "I would at least have some con geniality of thought and feeling between the married and myself." "Well, I am sure I have tbe mighty dollar. Fred is rich, and Fo am I, but not rich enough to marry a poor man, or even one moderately well off. As Fred's wife, I can live quite luxuriously." "So, Madge, you are marrying bim for his bank account ?" "Well, if you choose to put it that way, I suppose so, yes ; and,'' he continued laughing, "I do not Know of a more solid basis for hap piness. Money will keep me pret ty, and bright, and attractive, so he need not be ashamed cf tbe head of bis establishment; I recon he will be at the Club most ot tbe time,and we need not bore each other.'7 "We will not be ready for sup-, per, at the rate," said Katherine, rising, "I hope the other people iu Ibe bouse are going to be agreea ble." "Well, if they are not, we ean en tertain each other; dou't it seem funny to put on such a plain little dress!" Katherine laughed ; "I think it is very nice not to have to dress so much, and am going to te qaite fond of my ginghams and mulls." And well she might be, for her full length mirror in her richly ap pointed room in the city from which she came, hid never reflected a more bftwitcbing vision than this little glass did as she smiled 111 it before going down stairs. Madge Starling and ber friend Catherine Lee, had determined to have a little fun this season, in their own way ; aud though Mrs. Stariing opposed her daugbterjand eaid overjthing she could to pot a stop to it, as her father, who thought Madge was perfect and ought to have all she wanted, said he was willing, pro- vided Katherine would go also, Madge bad, as usual, ber own way. Mre. Lee was a widow, and preferred staying in ber comfortable home during tbe hot months, frequently tiaveling in the fall and winter, but she was qoite willing that Kather ine should go to the country and spend a month or so as she pleased ; and as for keeping the secret Mrs. Lee was both able and willing to do that. Madge was a little afraid her mother woold let it leak out, but there was nothing to do but beg her to be careful, and not let any one know, and trust her as best they could. "Of course, Madge," she said, "you are going to tell Fred?" Now Fred was just the one of ail others Madge was not go- ing to teli, "No, mother, it would not be fair to Katherine, we have given this month to each other, aud have determined not; to tell any one, tbere must be no exceptions ; Fred might take into it his head to coine and see us, and then all would be spoiled." It was very hard to make Mrs. Starling promise not to tell Fned, but at laat she did, aud the friends triumphantly went to spend their month or six weks, or as long asthey found it pleasant, in tbe country by themselves, to find all tbe experiences they could, aud which was gomg to be so different from theie town ones, "Wbo are those ladies that went np to jour house yesterday, Laru. ed ?" "Princesses, iu disguise, 1 told aunty ; the tall, stately one, with dark hair and eves, is a Miss Madge Phillips (the girls had kept their christian names, aud for surnames had taken their middle ones) and the fair haired one with blue eyes, a Miss Katherine Harding, I only saw them for a few moments last night, as I had to go to tbe office to fix those papers for to-day, but it seemed to me that their names ought to be reversed, for the tall one is as full ot fun as possible, ap parently, while the little one is rather dignified and harder, I should judge, to become acquainted with." "I hope they are going to stay some time V "I really don't know, one isa teacber and off lor a little holiday, the other has been nursing a sick friend during the winter, and just wants to rest ; ou must come up soon and call, auntie told me to ask yon ; let it be this evening,'' "Thank you, I wili if they are poor folks like myself; I thought they were some city swells, in tbat case I am not visiting you know." "Well, good-morning, we will 'ook for you then.'' Evening came, and Madge and Katherine who had passed a quiet day reading, lolling and eating can Jay, with which they were well supplied, dressed for an early tea ind went down on the piazza to wait unt'l the bell rang. "I declare am hungry," said Madge, "not withstanding I have eaten steadily, when not asleep, all tbe day; what 1 delicious diuner we had, every thing was cooked and served so well. Here comes Mis3 Larned;" "I am afraid you have bad a very stupid day," she said, approaching. "No," replied Katherine, "I tbink we enjoyed the rest, thoroughly, but e will not be so lazy every day." " "One always feels tired aud sleepy j he first few days in a new place I hink," said Madge. "Yes, they are very apt to, and it oest to give way to it; well, just make $ ourselves at home and ss comfortable as possible," said the dear old lady, as she moved softly on to see if everything was in order before the tea bell was rung. "What a dear old thing she is,'' burst from Madge, "she s ems so real, not a bit like us." "Thank you,'' said Ratherine laughing, " I feel quite real." There happened to be only two other .boarders in this quiet country home this season, two elderly ladies, one of whom spent most of her time in her room and the other out of it. They were sisters, but as Madge j said, after being there a few days, j appreciated each other best at a j distance. After tea Mr. and Miss j Lamed and the two girls sat on the ! porch and talked. i "Are you fond of teaching, Miss j Phillips f'1 "Not specially' replied Madge, "but then I am naturally lazy, and (enjoy most of all doing nothing.'' "Jack," said tbe old lady, "here comes Will Smith.'' "Yes, be told me this morning he wonld come up if possible, to call on the ladies this evening." "He is one of my favorites, and a rare man." "That is high praise. Miss Lam ed,'' said Katherine. By this time the young man had reached tbe steps and greeting Miss Larued in a courteous and warm hearted way, turned as she introduced him to "Miss Philips and Miss Hrrding, who bad come merely as boarders, but whom she hoped would leave as friends." "I do not think there is any doubt about that,'' said Madge, in ber pretty way, Madge was always a surprise, be looked so tall and stately that persons were prepared to find her dignified and distant, while on the contrary she was ready to meet you two-tbirda of the waj and with the slightest eucourage ment to come most of the other third that was it she liked you ; I ut if she did not she so completely ignored you, that as far as she was roncerued you did not exist. Kath enne was tbe dignified one, but she was really warmer hearted than Madge, and though more reserved in ber manner much more loving. Mr. Smith seated himself near Miss Larued, and at first most of his conversation was addressed to her, but before very long they were all talking and laughing together as if they were already friends. Pies eutly Miss Larned got u, saying she must go and look after "Miss Hetty," who was not very well this evening. ''Where is Miss Sarah V asked Mr. Smith. "She usually goes out ia the evening for a little walk." "Aod in the morniug and after noon too, said Mr. Smith laughing, "I know of no one I meet more constantly ; she must be training for a walking match," "See, Katherine;" said Madge l iogbing, "what is to be said of us when we begin to scour this lovely country." "Let us go with you, Miss Phil lips, and then we cannot talk," said Mr. Larned. "Very well, we are thinking of going to tbe top ot tbat hill yonder to see the sun rise tomorrow morn ng." "Certainly, Miss Phillips, we will tbink of joining you." Madge burst out laughing, "I will wait for you to propose the next ex pedition." "I propose, then, tbat we have an early tea to-morrow and go up that same hill, which is not quite so near 3s you th:nk for, and see the sun set ; tbere is a magniiiceut view and 1 think you will enioy it." "But will it not put your aant out to have an early tea?" Katherine almost started, it was isomethiug almost entirely new to hear Madge speaking of giving any any one else trouble. "No, auntie will not mind, I thiuk all she really cares for is to giye people pleasure.'' The moon rose while they were sitting there aod flooded tbe whole place with her soft beautiful light, and the conversation grew quieter, and tbe sentiment ciep'c in, as un der such circumstances it will. Strangely enough Madge was the one to stait it. "I do wonder what we are al made for," she suddenly said. "To love one another,we are told," Mr. Smith quickly replied. "I am afraid a great many of u do not fulfil our mission ia life then."' "We ali love some one, though not every one," said Katherine. ; 'No one is so aenrsed by fate,' " quoted Mr. Larned. -"Is that your belief, too, Miss Harding ?" "Yer, I do not see why we should suppose any one else is so much worse off than ourselves; but some times the wrong people love each other." "No, it is not tbat," said Miss Larned, who bad just come out aod paused a moment on her way to the kitchen. "It is that they love each other the wrong way." "Auntie is right," said Mr. Larn ed, as she passed on. "As she al ways is," bis friend added. They talked for a long time and then Katherine rising said : "Come, Madge, it is surely time tor us to retire." "Yes." said Madge, slowly rising. ' I soppose it is, but it is so lovely here one hates to say good-night to it all. Days parsed on, they had gone to see tbe sunset from tbe top of the hill, and had taken many other ex peditions ; and the quartette were fast becoming friend", real friends, indeed I must say tbe quintette, lor dear Miss Larued xvas beloved cf all. "Aunty," as Madge one day called ber, and then blushed scarlet as she saw tbe gleam in Jack Larm ed's eyes aud blushed (feeper too, as that old lady tenderly kissing her said, "I wish you would call me that, dear, it souuds very sweet and natural from you." Madge and Jack were generally together, and Katherine and Tom Smith. Katherine was trouble that she was deceiving them all, he knew bow he felt about rich girls aud poor men ; indeed she kuew how he felt about most things, and it grieved her tbat she was de eiv ing bim. Madge also was troubled, but would ouly laugh when Kather ine said she felt so mean and was sure she could not keep it up much longer. "Well, it is almost time for us to go," said Madge, one morning; "we have been here five weeks, and mamma is beginning to be very up gent in her letters for my return ; she said I promised to go to the Springs for a few weeks anyhow, and that Fred is very attentive to some Miss Boling or Miss some one else ; I never tbink of him but as a money bag ; it never occurs to me that he is a man." Katherine stood at the window musing "Madge,'' she said, sudi denly turning, "I am sick and tired of this, we cau only release each other from tbe vow we made not to betray who we are aud I fully and heartily release you, and want you to tbe same tbicg for me." "Oh, Katheriue, no, I have not the courage. They will despise us." "1 have not the courage to live this way any longer," said Kather ine. "aud if you refuse, will leave to morrow ; I cannot staud it a day longer." And her face crimsoned as Bh? thought of Mr. Smith saying to her tbat morning how be 'despis ed deceit,' and afterwards 'how happy he nad been this summer,' and asking her if be might contiuue the acquaintance which had ripened into friendship ; might he wriie to ber when she went home and might he go to see her some day f She was thanktol that they had been in terrupted then, fcr she simply could not have borne it much longer. Suddenly Madge threw herself on the bed and burst into tears. "Why, Madge, darling, what is the matier ! You must not give way like this, just determine to be brave land let us confess, I think they will forgive us ; and oh, Madge, I cannot bear it." 'Very well sobbed Madge, 'how shall we do it ?' That evening tbey were to row over to the little island, take books aud work and spend t-everal hours. They decided that would be a good time, and tbey would tell tbem be Concluded on last page.")

IJUAEXXTIXE AND DISINFECTION- We are seriously threatened dur ing the coming summer with an in vasion of the most dreaded of all the contagious aud infectious dis- eases Cholera. in fighting that class of diseases, which cleaniiness of the premises is ot tbe highest importance and should never be overlooked a duty, by the way, that you should attend to at once it you have not already done so, now that warm weather has set iu, and tepeVedly and re gulrly hereafter nothing is at all omparable in results to the prompt and complete separation of the sick from the well, and the thorough dit inftctiou of everything used by the patient. A complete application of these pjinciples would nip in the bud every epidemic ; indeed there could be epidemics. Tbe machiuery for carrying them out has been pro vided iu the "Act Relating to tLe Board of health" passed by the las! Legislature, but it is well known fact tbat no law cau be successfully administered unless it is supported by public opiuion, I therefor de sire very brietly, to call attention to certain paris of which pait'CU lariy require the co-operation of the people for whose benefit it was pus sel, aud to show why it is to their interest to give it their cordial sup port. Most people know tbe - va'ue to health of cleanliness of person, pre mises, food and drink, but not so many are familiar with the great importance ot a strict quarantine or isolatioujof th03e sick of infectious diseases, and more especially the uecessity for the diMnfectiou ot the pntient and bis affect after his re covery. As nothing is so convinc ing as facts, I will give some of the results obtained In the State of Micbagau, where sanitary regula tions are carried oui, certainly as well as, it not better than, auy where el-e in country. The number ol deaths from scarlet fever in that State before the B ard of Health uu. dertooA its restriction was 4 85 for every 10,000 inhabitants after, u,4ft: or smailpox betore, per 10,000 af'.er, 19. One of the da grams to be exhibited by that Bor J at the Columbian Exposition "indi cates the lives saved : from scarlet fever, 7,2G5 Iroui smailpox, 1,921, and floor typhoid fever, 1,G71." The administration of health laws even in Michigan is still very, very tar from perfect, and yet see tbe great saving of life brought about by their partial application. What has been done there can be done here and ought to be done, every one must admit, Tbe following are tbe extracts from the laws referred to : Sec. 9. Inlaud quarantine shal' be under the control of the county superintendent of health, who shall see that disease especially daoger oai to the public health, viz, small, pox, diphtheria, scarlet fever, yel low fever, typhus fever and cbolera, are properly quariotined and inso lared within twenty-four boors af ter tbe case is brooght to bis know ledge ; and alter tbe death or recov ery or removal of a person sick of either of tbe dieasementioned, the rooms occupied aud the articles used by the patients are tborooghly dis infected in the manner set forth in the priuted instructions, both as to qoarautine and disinfection, which shall be furnished him by tbe sec retary of the state board of health. The expense of the quarantine and of tbe disinfection shall be borne the householder in whose family the case occurs, if able, otherwise by the city, town or country of which he is a resident; Any person negs lecting or refusing to comply with or in any way violating the rules promulgating in the manner above fet forth on the subjects of quaran tine and defined or imprisoned, at the discretion of tbe court, not less tban five nor more than fitty dollars,! or less tban ten nor more than thir ty days Providing, however, tbat in any city or incorporated town bay ing a regolarly appointed medical J health officer who is a member of. tbe county board ot health, the da ties assigned in this section of tbe county superintendent of health shall be performed by the said med ical health officer for the people of his city or town, and he shall be subject to the sam penalties for the dereliction of duty at tho bands of tbe board of aldermen or town commissioners as ar directed to be imposed by the county commission' ers and county board ot health upon the superintendent : Provided, that 1 be custody Mini care of an child or other person may remaiu in cus tody of ptreut or family. Sec 10. When a household knows that a person witl in his family is sick with either of the 'lUeases enu merated in section nine, be shall immediately give notice thereof to the health officer or mayor, if he resides in a city or incorporated town, otherwise to the county su perintendent of health, and upon the death or recovery or removal of such person, the rooms occupied and the articles used by him shall be disinfected by such householder in the manner indicated in section niue. Any person neglecting or re- fusing to comply with any of tbe above provisions shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be fined not less than one dollar nor more than, fifty dollars. Sec. 11, When a physicirn knows tbat a person whom he is called to visit is infected with small-pox, diphtheria, scarlet fever, typhus fe. ver, yellow fever or cbolera be Bball immedietely give notice thereof to the hehlth officer or mayor, if the sick person be in the city, or iocor porated town, otherwise to tho couuty superintendent ol healtD, and it he refuses or neglects to give such notice ot it iu twentv-four hours he shall bo guilty of a misde meanor and shall be fined for each offence not less than ten'nor more than twentyifive dollars Tbe purpose of these enactments 13 to assist every householder in preventing the spread of these dis eases to other members of his own family, and to also prevent bis permitting their transmission to his neighbors through ignorauce, indif fereoce or obstinacy- If I have a case of scarlet fever, we wili say, in my family and fail for auy reason, to let it be generally known, and a child of my neighbor, ignorant of dauger, comes into my house and contracts the disease ; or, it from carelessness or contrariness, or from an unwillingness to take a little tro bio, or in order to save a small ex pense I s boo Id neglect to disinfect the clothing, toys, etc., of my little one, and bis playmates should take the disease from tbem (aa he is most likely to do) and die? In what light would the parents of that child an only one, perhaps have a right to regard me who knew the danger, who knew the law and consequently my duty failed to do itf An unintentionally, of coarse. p.n indirectly, bnt none tbe less act ually, the cause of his death. It would be a fearful thought to carry through the years of tbe future that, owning to my indifference or negligence for as the head of my household I am responsible the life of one or more of my own child ren, or of my friend, had been need lessly sacrificed My reader, this is a very grave matter a matter in which is invol ved no less an issue than life and death. It is a thorongbly estab lished fact that insolation and dis infection will check, if altogether prevent, the spread of infectious diseases. You are now iu posses sion of a knowledge oj the law of the State which clearly and explU citly defines your doty in the pre mises, and the Board of Health hopes and beleivea you will do it. Will you not promptly notify the health officer or mayor of your town or the Superintendent of Health of your couuty, of the occurence in your family of either ot the conta gious diseases emanerated,aod car ry out throughly the instructions for quarantine and disinlection wuicn ne win iurnisn yoo t 10 tne interest of humanity and tor tbe sake ot a quiet conscience on your own parr, we are sure y ou will Richaed H.
