LOVE AlD FORTUNE. A blustering uncomfortable day in early November. In Miss Miner's sitting-room how ever everything was as cosy and delight f ul as could be desired. . ] And Miss Hetty Miner, sitting be fore the fire, her black silk skirt turned carefully back over her lap, and her substantially made boots resting com fortably on the fender. An elderly woman-forty odd-with a sharp shrewd face, and bright little eyes, and a resolute look around her mouth. A homely, outapoken woman, who was proud to say she had never been in love, who lived in luxury, although on a small scale, and who had a hundred thousand in government bonds to leave to her relations when she died;and in all the world she had but two relations, Mrs. Carisford Carl her married sister, and Mr. Dollingby Parker, her half-broth or, who was jealotis that old Si mon Carmen had left Hetty his fortune, just because she had happened to be friend him in his poor ante-mining days. This especial afternoon, as she sat meditatively before the flre, she sudden ly l-oke the stilness with an energy of speech that made the young girl, read ig hit the bay window nearly cohcealed by the curtains look startedly up fLm her book. 'Ellice, you're a fool!' * Evidently Ellice Dunning had not lived flve years as companion and per sonal attendaut to Miss Minor in vain, for she manifested n surprise at the rough speech, beyond the swift, brief, little startled look in her soft winey brown eyes. She closed her book and came out into the room, a little tish on her 'Do you think so, Miss Miner?' 'Most certainly I think so, or I shouldn't have said so. 'You are a fool, Ellice Dunning, and I hate to see you throw yourself away so foolishly. 'Do show your common sense if you've got any, and let that young jackanapes oft a dloctor go. 'You're better off without him. 'I'll give you a new seal-skin cloak th vwitetr If you'll give him up. 'I couiln't give him up, Miss Miner, Ilve him too well.' Whriat nonsense! Yulove him too well! yoe indeed. 'It's all absurdity. I never was in -love in all my life.' Ellice dropped her eyes in a pretty, little confused way. 'I can't help that, Miss Miner. 'I love Fr-ank, and he loves me. - 'We'd be perfectly mIserable if we were pa)d irte. oteherhwI1 Miss Miner dropped her feet from~ the reoatbang as she jumped up indlig ngagd t bemarried to Doctor Well, Elice Dunning-very well. 'You may pack my -hand-valise at once. 'I am going to London on a visit, by the six-ten train, and I'll be home on Thursday. -4 'When I come back, don't let me find -you her-c, you ungrateful little wretch you!" Ellice's lips quiveredl, and her eyes lled with diamond-bright tears. y e 'Miss Miner! You don't mean to turn me away?' 'That is just what I mean! '[ have told you, time and again, I lidln't approve of men and love-making, 1* nc I woni't have It where I ap-il eol can taike your chmoice--me or Doctor Oleyin. 'i'll give you just five minutes.' A little red flush1 crep)t inito the girl's cheek. 'I don't w~ant five minutes for a choice, Miss Minori TYou have been very good to me, and T cannot forget your kindness; and I think I hatve dlone my duty by you, 'liut nothing could come between me and Doetor Olevin,' 'All right, then. 'Don't let me.spo you nore wvh& come back.'I -, 4 And then Ellica went up to Niss Miner's room, and a.-d the ..ed nt quihe. 'I'll go t.

'After all I've done for her, tool' And then Miss Miner leaned back fery contentedly in her seat, satisfied Ihat she had done her whole duty by ierself, and Ellice Dunning, too. It was just hair-past eight when the vab deposited her at the door of Mr. Jarisford Carl's house-a -comfortably 'osy place, with the name on the door nl full. A servat)t showed her in, and asked Uor name; but Miss Miner wanted to iurprise her sister, and sent word that x friend wished to see her, while she eated herself in the parlor, where a little girl sat curled up in a cushioned ,hair, reading. 'You want to see my mamma I sup pose?' 'Yes,' said Mrs. Miner with an af able smile. 'You are Hetty, I suppose?' The child gave a heavy sigh. 'Yes, I'm Hetty. Oh, don't I hate hat name!' 'Why, I think it's a first rate name. 'You are a namesake of somebody, I guess?' 'Yes, I am. 'Old Iletty Miner, my aunt, who ives out in the country. 'I never have seen her, and I don't ,vant to either, 'cau'se mamma says ihie's the meanest old thing in creation It regular old Miss Nancy, papa says.' Miss Miner smiled-a little queerly. 'Oh! that's what they say, is it? Well, [Tetty, I am your aunt Miner.' The child opened her eyes wider. 'Are you? 'Then won't mamma be nad! 'We expect company after awhile, and namma won't want you at all. 'We'd be dreadfilly ashamed of you >Wfore the Argernons. 'You're going to leave us your money. Lin't youl TjVapa and mamma said they were nost tired of waiting-you had as many ives as a cat. 'We're going to Paris as soon as you lie.' 'Are you? said Miss Miner, with an nsnno desire to shake the port self-pos 1eased venomous youngster. 'Well I wouldn't depend upon it if I VerO you.' And before Mrs. Carl came down itaiis, Miss Miner was out in the street, mi her way to - her half-brother's iouse. 'A pretty nest of vipers those Carl's tre I ' Thank Ieaven, I've found them out n time I 'Going to Paris on my money I 'Why, ungratefnl as that little Ellice s, she is not a.a treachetous as ithy own lesh and blood. ' Hummph I And her complacenicy was not yet re-. tored when she left the street-ear on he nearest corner to Mr. Parke- Di lng >ny's bachelor quarters, that was a-light n a perfect blaze of bright cheer ' It looks like a party,' she thought. But,all the same she did not hesitate ;o go up the inposing stone steps and -ing the bell, to which no response comn ng, she tried the door-knob, a#d ad. nitted herself into a large brilliantly ighted hall, at the end of which was a -oom, from which camne the soundls of revelry and jollification that had pre rented her ring being heard, Miss Miner wvent irito the first door that stood ajar, and through another )artly closed (door she saw the gay bach. mior party--some ton or fifteen-merry >vor their wino, ' So that's the way Parker Dollingby toes, is It ?' she aisked herself grimly, lust at the same Instant that gentleman's voice, distinct, boisterous, rose high, mmd for a secondi silenced all others: ' Here's to the health of my most re ipected ancient muariner-ess-a veritable old maid alt forlorn, whose legacy is a long time coming, but sure to get here some time. ' A cool, hundred thousand dollars or so, boys; and imagine the swell we will euit when the venerable Mehitable kicks the bucket. 'lDrink to her, b9ys P' Somehow Miss Minoer took herself out of the house. She was silent all thme way to them hotel, Ind then, once in tihe roomn, locked her iloor, and sat. down andl actually cried, ~i4 then wont to bed, wond1ering if It wams ever granted to inorthils to comeo negrer to being made a fool of thain she hlad been-and at two o'clock in the morning to awaken with a strainge sick reeling that was awful to endure in that big lonely hotel, where she~ did not know ia living soul, Bunt she rang for assistance, andi thIe servant brought her a physianm who happened to be staying over ight;i amt he~r life wa~s saved 1from~ thle terrible at taeic of gastralgia by Dr. Frank Olovinr 't'l pay you Wlien I got hone' she said1-terely, A .. ~A * SYou (421n go with me, if you donI't mind my gren veil and bag.' And so after raching home, where llic' Y5uAdhlig in teadieto leave by grail Jnt,hour later, opened the door In answer to an imperious summons, Miss Miner stalked in,- followea by Dr. Olevin. 'You needn't be frightened, Ellice,' she- said, in a wonderfully soft tone of voice. ..'I've changed my mind. I'm the fool not. you. 'Here's your lover; you can have him and welcome. 'Alid when you're married, I'm goliig to settle my fortune on you and let you live here;.If you'll give me a room some where. 'Take off your things and go get a cup of coffee for us?' And that was the way little brown eyed Ellice came into her double inher itance of love and fortune. French and American Fire Lawi. Nine out of ton of the churches, hos pitals, warehouses and dwellings, eto., of this and other cities-not omitting. libraries, city buildings, and school houses-are complete examples of the work of the masters of combustible building and architecture. They are faed on theoutside with a stone, brick, or iron sham In the design of which what is miscalled art has been attemp ted. - In the first eleven months ot 1882 there were burned within the limits of the United States; 362 hotels. 99 churches, 7 hospitals, 14 asylums, 6 almshouses, 62 school-houses, 18 college buildings, 20 court-houses, 2 custom houses; total, 585. These special speoi mens of the work of the 'combustible buildes and architects of our land formed a part of the ash-heap of 1882, valued at $9,000,000. It would be quite safe to affirm that an additional cost, ranging fr,m one to two per cent. upon the construction of these 585 specimens of the incendiary art of the combustible architect which are recited above, would have saved at least two thirds of the loss of property, and might save a much larger proportion of the loss of life which is now apt to occur when any of the buildings named in this list take fire. In every case of serious fire an inquest should be held as to its cause and course, the names of owners, tenants, architects, builders and under writers published, and the faults of construction distinctly stated; in other words, let the Princlple of the French law be applied here, not only in court, but in trial by newspaper. It has lately bean stated to me by a imnh under writA oninwa fn i-~ an y ons having tires on their premises are Looked upon, as pseudo-citminals. the onus of proof of^their innocence lying with them. You will observe that we burn more than one hotel per day, more than two churches per week, and more than two hospitals, asylums, or alms houses per mouth In this country, which yet prides itself on its common schools, and which claims especial merit for "gumption," mechanical aptitude, and versatility of talent. But we waste In the cost of fires, cost of fire depart ment, and cost of sustaining our system of insurance, aside from losses, some where between $120,000,000 and $140, 000,000 per year-a sum which is more than $1 In every hundred of the gross produet of the whole nation; which is more than ten per cent. upon the annual savings or net incomes of the people in a year of greatest prosperity, and which is in great measure a useless, because perfectly avoidable, tax, which adds eighteen to twenty per cent, to the 8700,000,000 of national State, and mu nicipal taxes which are now collected and paid under our laws. Mtareymg for Money. I heard a sad story of a pretty girl of good family and great ambition, who married the son of a Congressman a few years ago in the belief that the (Ion gressman or the son or somebody In the family was rich. Of course, the girl was poor ahd prouil and from the South, and she was only too glad to sell herself for the luxury promised her. And of course it turned out that the magnifi cence of the Congressman was hodlow, that his diamonds belonged to somebody else, that Is horses were another's and that his house and its beautiful pictures and tine books and elegant furniture were really not his. He didnt really have anything except the son, and the son had nothing except his foolish, deluded bride, and the story ended in a very miserable way. It was an old story-so old as to be dog-eared and somewhat ratgg4 d. Bunt it served to remindl me of another story, a good one, that I neard long ago. '1 here was a man nmod Watkins in a Confederate regiment during the war, who way well on te .vardl middle lie; but when his wife camse to camp one dlay she seemed to make him you,ag by comparison. 'There seemed to be a century's difference between them; and the mani, who was as ugly as a (Georgia cracker usually is, was handsome beside his wife. "How did you ever come to marry such an old witoh as that? asked one of is superior officers, taking him jiside. *'Well, you see," said the man, rather sheepishly, "her mother Icept- a little grocery,sr,ore down on the corner of the street where I lived, and 1 need to go there to get what I wanted to oat. One dayr 1 found the old woman's ugly daughter all alone in the atore, Just a's I camne in I heiard the clink of silver throlgh the loose rafters overhead, and the old woman counting 'Ono, two, three,' and to on, I sat down and made love to the girl, and the old wonlan up stairs .kept on cotantipg. By-and-by sne was away tip in the hundlreds-400, 450 and 500. 1 oottrted that girl harder and harder as the old woman got higher ad higher. F,nally she stopped at 90Q0. 'Urcat Bcott I' I said to myself, 'Nine hundred dollaisl' '1leloved Sukey, will you be mine?' Sjhe said she would, and we were married that same day." "'Well, Is that ala?" '-No, there wvere only thirty of those silver dollara; ,the old woman counted them over thirty times.". Perhaps it would be well to investigate a little every time. Several -yearl ago, Miss Bird, the En glish lady whose. journeyings by sea and litnd' have iade her name a household word, '(vas traveling in Colorado and stopp6dat the cabin of "MountAin ilm," a notorious :desperado. She saw a broad, thick-set man, about the middle height, \vith an old- cap on il head and- wearing a grey hunting suit much the worse for use. - Hi manner was that of a gentleman nd.he spoke with-a refined accent and .Ole#ant ,languiage'. -..6 ", 4re -not an American'' he bald, 44,shw rode amay.

A few days later, he called to guide Miss Bird up to Long's Peak, the Amer Ical Mattethorn.

ITreat ,lm as a gentleman and you'll* fid him'one," she had 13een told on set ting out, and his manners verified the words. That night, as they were in camp, sit ting about a huge log fire, the man's kindness came out. " Ring" lie said to his dog, as If he was speaking to a man, "go to that lady and don't leave her again to-night.' But Miss Bird also saw that his van ity stimulated him to act and speak so as to sustain his reputation asa desper ado. The . Colorado newspaper kept " Mountain Jim " always before the public, and lie enjoyed reading the para graphs. One night, as the presence of wild ani mals made it impossible to sleep, lie told her stories of his early youth and of the great sorrow which led him to begin a lawless life. His voice trembled and tears..rolled. down his cheeks. His dark shul teeUied stirred to remorse by the light of other days. It was a painful spectacle to the Eng 11sh lldy.

"1 What good." she thoug6't, "can the future have in store for this desperado who so long has said to evil, be thou my good1' " The next morning day dawned long before the sun rose. The Englishwoman sat looking at the pure lemon-colored atmosphere, "'Ring" by her side, when one of the party called to her to come far ther down the slope: She went. Looking up to Long's Peak, it seemed cold alid gray. Thte everlast ing snows, the silvered pines, the Plains also appeared chilling in the blue-gray light. A dazzling streak shone in the east, and suddenly the,sun rose above the gray horizon as full of light and glory as when first created. The gray changed to purple. The sky blushed in one rose-red flush. The cold peaks glistened like rubles. The Plains appeared, In their limitless ex panie, as if the Creator's hand had just rolled themi out Mountain Jim, reverently uncovering his head exclaimed in a low, tender voice,-'I believe there is a God! " Alas for Mountain Jim I awe, even when inspired by the Creator's works, is not the repentancewhich begets a new life. " If you want to know," lie said one day-to Miss Bird, wh n she tried to lead him to a better life, ' how nearly aman can become a devil, I'll tell you." Then ho told her the sad story of a runaway boy, living the reckless life of a drunken ruffian. She urged him as the first step to amiendiment to give up) whisky. " I cannot," he said sadly. "It binds me hand amid foot. I cannot give up the only pleasure I have.

One of Napoleon's senatiniels met with a remarkable adventure, aind though he (lid not exactly "stand and wait," he secured through his quick wit the advantage due to such service, lie hadl been posted oii a retired spot on the Isle of Rlugen, which was occupied by a detachment ,from D3avoust's corps. Some alarm caused the troops to em bark with precipitation and they forgot this sentinel, who himself was so ab sorbed in a newspaper containing a re port of Napoleon's recent victory as not to observe their departure. After p)ac ing his post for several hours without being relieved, lie became impatient and returned to the guard-room. IIe found It eumpty, amid learned that his comrades had left the island.

Five year:s after a strange sail was seen approaching the island. The inhabitanta, flocking to the beach, diabovered 'on the deck of the shilp a number of soldiers wearing the unf fei'm of the French army, "I'm (lone for now," cied the dis mayed husband of Ju5thmme, "My bread is baked." An originmal Idea revived his courage. He ran to the house, slipped into his uniform, seizeid-his firelock, rdtuirned to the beach and post1.ed hirauself as a g6'ii tinel at the _moment the,.

The Earth's Crust. Ii! Wi Mr. Robert Ward, considers that the de issumnption~ is a fallacy that all but the erust of the earth is a mass of liquid of lire. Onie of the results of the Challen- .vn e,er anud other explorations of (heep) tai accan, ho says, is to (determline that the yo water towards its bottom is freezing cold. Considering that the ocean covers eL nearly thirea-fourthus of the entire globe Lh thils fact (lees not support the theory ok e Lenitral-heat accompainied by radiation. se The .cohdest water, it is true, usually e sinks by its greater weight toward the bottom, and that, it may be said, ac- 1c1 counts for its coldniess; but on the the- of cry of radiation the water of the ocean in ias been for long geological ages sup- his ported upon01 the thin crust of the earth, Ilhrough which the central heat has beei mi )onstanltly escapuing, and yet it is still of. ra Ireozing coldhness. Experience would say that the heat cannot have escaped a throughl the water without warming it, g because the cap)acity of tihe water for heat is greater than thlat of alny othler of substamnce. We can no more, lie coi-- se cludes, imagine such a radiation and mm conlsequlent acculmulation of hleat in the al ricean without thle natural resullt of a great rise in the temperatur'e, thanl we th can believe in a kettle resting for hours is rin a hot fire wvithout tIle usual result of fai boiling water!

I think I'll take him into the woods next sea son. A Dinner andl a Dissertation. An old Dutch merchant of Amster damn, having amassed a large fortune in trade, determined to spend the remnant of hisa life in the quiet seclusion of hisa country house. Before taking leave of his city friends he invited them to dine with him. The guests on arriving at hisa residence were surprised to see the extraordiinary prep)arations that had beeni mnade for their recep)tion. On a plain oak table covered with a bhte cloth were some wooden plates, spoons and drink ing vessels. Presently two old seamen brought in dishes5 containing herring some fresh, others salted or dried. Of these the guests wvere invited to partake ; but it was clear that they had little appe tite for such poor fare, and with consid erable impatience they awaited the sec ond course, which consisted of ualt beef adgreens. This also, when brought ini, they did not seem to relish, At last the blue cloth was removed, and one of fine white damask substituted ; and the guests were agreeably surprised to see a number of servants in gorgeous liveries enter with the third course, which con,~ sii4tedl .f everything necessary to form a most suimp)tuous banquet. T'e master of the house then addressed lisa friends in the following terms : " Such, gentile men, has b)een the progress of our Repub lic. We .began with short frugality, by means of which we became wealthy, and we end with luxury, which will beq get poverty. We should, therefore, be satis#~ed with our beef and greens, that we may not hSrve to reunto our herr ings, (lass Bottles. In an article published in onie of the German scientific journals on the effect of the color of glass bottles on the liquids contained in thenm, some interesting faicts are -stated, It a ppears fro-m this that liquors contained ini colorless bottles, wheni exposed for some time to the light, acquire a disagreeable taste, notwith,. standing the - fact that they may have been of superior quality before heig so treated ; liqnors contained ini brown or green bottles, however, remain unchang ed in quality, even. if exposed to jirect sunlight. Since, thon, tIhe results in question are due to the chiemial action of light, It fQllows that red, orange, yeuh. low, green or opaque bottles are essenittal to the preservatio,n of liquors, while colorless, blue anmd violet ones are to be discarded.
