"hllow do you know that ?" said Ed ward, with a smile, who began to feel more at home with his eccentric relative. 1 '"1'd like to hear it, anyway." "Well, here it is: Go back to your place in the store, and save three dollars a week from your salary, which you can easily do-learning, in the meantime, all you possibly can in regard to the busi ness you intend. At the end of four years you will have the capital you seek, together with sutlicienut experience and judgment to know how td use it. And better still, it will be yours, earned by your industry and self-denial, and worth more to you than ten times that amount got in any other way. Then come and see tme again. You'd rather have my money than advice, I dare say," added Mr. Stone, as Edward arose to go; "but we, will be better friends four years lhemce than if' I let you have it.

You must stay to tea; I want you to see what; a complete little housekeep er I have, ;and make you acquainted with her. "Polly!" he cried out, open ing the door into the hall. In prompt obedience, to this sumllitlons, a rosy-checked. bright-eyed girl tripped in. The neat print dress had been ex changed for a pretty merino, but our hero did not fail to recognize her, and his face blushed painfully as hI did so. *'l'olly," continued her lather, ''this is your cousin Edward. lle leaves on the six o'clock train, and I want you to make his shoret stay with us as 1pleasantr as possible.

It may stand in good stea:l: she may take into her head to marry sonic poor elan, as her mother did lbetfore her. Eb, my girl " liary's only reply to this was a smile and a blush. Our hero was considerably embarrassed by the recollection of the mistake le had made : but the quietly cordial greeting of' his young hostess put hime at ease. At her father's recquest--who was very proud of his daughter's varied accotn plishlments-Mary sang and played for her cousin ; and his visit ended in singun lar contrast to the stormy way it com mInnce'd. Edward refulsed the tive dol lar niote' tentldered to hinu by his uncle at parting, for his traveling expenses. The old man smiled as he returned the note to his pocket-book. "Hie's a sensible young chap after all," he reomnmked to his daughter, as the door ,closed after their guest. It's in him if itcan only le brought out. We shall see,, we shall see."

Our hero's business grew and prospered, until lie began to think of I moving into a larger store. His uncle had given several liberal orders, 4s I well as sent him a number of customers, but said nothing about assisting him 1 any until Christmas eve. Entering the room, where Edward and his daughter were sitting, he said: : " Mustn't delay iny longer, the 'little lift' Ipromired you, nephew, and which you have well earned !" Edward glanced from the five thous and dollar check to the lovely face at his side, and then to that of the speaker. "You are very kind, uncle-tar kinder than I deserve; lut-" "But what, lad t SHieak outi Would you prefer it in some otlly form t" Edward's finger's clos l tenderly and strongly over the hand that he had ta ken in his.

The old man looked keenly frome olne a the other.l' "Yon are asking a great detl, n~phe e Polly. have you been encouraging this young man iln his presumption : "I'm afraid I have, father," was the smiling response. The father's eyes moistened. "Then go my daughter. I give you to worthy keeping, and if you make your husbauds heart as happy as your mother made mine during the few short years that she tarried hby my side, he will be blessed indeed." It is a irae occurrel'er for a man to spend ov,,r Vighlty years in anl insane asylum, yet such I ai event is noted in France. ( e .iuhis-ier, known is the "Maltan of (lass,'" has recently died in th' lIxatie ,sylum at BiOetreo, where he was admitted in 1797. He was 103 years old. .Julussier's insanity resulted fromn a blow on the head with a stone. Most of his time w as passed in an al most lethargic state. Soon after his admission to the asylum he became pos sessed by the delusion that he was made of glass, and from the moment in which this conviction established itself in his disordered brain down to the day of his death he never spoke a word nior moved of his own accord from a crouching atti tude in one corl'ner of his rooltl, except for a few days during the bombardment of Paris. when the noise of the caun2un appeared to agitate him distressingly. 'Seizing the gigantic Indian around the waist, the brave boy lifted him into the air and thiung himi headlong down the chasm. Panting, the hboy stood and watched the Indian's body fall from crag to crag until it disappearedl in the darkness below. lust at this moment the father of tihe boy who was reading this trash came along, lifted the young ster by the ear, and in the woodshed matinee that followed, thi, boy had no thought of tlingirg the old man dlown a chasm. There was no chasm handy. How rapidly some foreign habits are copied in the Ilrnited States. There was a time when lager heer was drank by only a few Germans. It has now be come the national drink of Americaus. Our Milwaukee, St. Louts, Cincinuati and Rochester beer is preferred by con noissonurs to the best brewing of the old world.

He hadl recently, at lhir earnest request, sworn off the use of in toxicating fluids. As she repeated the refrain, he looked up calmly, with a strange, far-off look in his thirsty eye, and reached for his hat. "You don't know, Maria, you don't know," said lit tle Toddlekins, "what a weight that song has lifted from my heart."
