One day they had somo distance to

tramped ahead with Ilia cano and tho

distance botweou them as the woman
was fat and whoeuy, and waddled with
diflloulty. By some moans her cloth

of his customs,' runs the now
extraordinary revelation, to ho shaved
at home, an I the duty was performed
by a colored barber who came regnlarly
for tho purpose. In Mr. Htantou’s pri
vate apartment stood an improvised
shaving chair, and to .ibis fcjie trusty
valpt would go ut tho appointed time to
perform his duty. Mr. Btanton had
been apparently /ailing in health for a
week, aud had become ao doapondent us
to alpadfct excite fears of. an aberration
of tho mind. On tho evening of the
25-1 of December the oolofed valet
called tri shave Btanton. They were
left alone in the private apartment,) and
Btanton took his seat in the chair. The
barber had partiajly finished his task,
and, laying tho razor on a little table
beside Btanton, stopped across the room
for some water. A movement startled
him, and ho turned just jn time to see
the glistening steel flash' by the bared
throat, leaving a streak in its wake.
Rushing to the side of Btanton, [the
barber caught tho razor before another
stroke could 1 o made. He called for
help, and in a few moments there wore
at the bedside the surgeon-general, a
few trusty attaches of the government,
and one or two members of tho family.
The work bad been done, however, and
tho life current reached. At three
o’clock, next morning, Btanton
dead. How well the secret of his death
has been kept, those who read this may-
know. — Sprinf/ftcld Republican.

TImh,” said Mrs. Gafforly, “this i*
the last time, Porlina Milkiu, tho very
last lime, I’ve spent enough npon you
sinoo your urn died, and 1 took charge
of you, to marry six girls who had (heir
uses about tuom. I've drossod you
like a Christmas doll, mul I’ve flout you
to tho most fashionable) places to board
iu summer, and boro you aro, fonr-and-
twont.y, and not so nmoli as engaged.
”■ perfootly disgusting, Porlina ; and
what I havo to say is, if you don’t Bot
tle your affairs thin fluramer, I’ll give
you no more chances. I expect to ilio
in tho poor-house na it is. Why, I was
mnrrioa nt seveuloeu, and your mu at

tho plainest little critter I over saw,
n’t bnt just sixteen. What’s tho
of advantage*--and you havo looks,
Porliuu—if you don’t make use of ’em V"
I'm enre I don’t know what you
oxpoct me to do. I can’t very woll
proposo to any one,” fluid Porlina, ready
to cry. “I do everything I oau, and
thoy make love to me, I’m sure, and
they say nil florin of things. If they
don’t pop tho (ftiofltfon, how can I make
them ; there, now; I suppose yon
waitod until Undo Gafforly asked you
to lmvohiin before you Haiti you would.”
Uncle Gafforly would have
committed suioido it t bad rtffnscd
him,” fluid Aunt Gafforly,
Yon may not believe it now, but T
a beauty in my youth. Ah for what
you oau do, you ought to know; but
what I snv is this : come home engaged,
I’ll stop all thin useless extrava
gance. I’vo crammed your trunk to tlio
of five hundrod dollars, and you
aro going to Saratoga with tho TCoro-
ino Nowbody’s; and if von can’t do it

With wliioh apoeoh she inflicted on
Iter niece's ohoek that matter of course
peck which female friend* ohoso to call
kiss, and hade her good-bye. And
despite her new wnrbrohe, hor big Sara
toga trunk, the prospective summor
gnvot.y, and tho ohaporonage of Mr*.
Nowbody, poor Pet linn cried
u good deal in tho hired carriage vhioh
o mvoyed her to tho boat. 44 What/^n*
nho to do ?” To marry might havo boon
easy, but to marry money—and that
was what oho was expected to do—wits a
harder task.
Aunt Gafforly was a good business
woman, and would not bo likely to
nend any more money upon an unsale
able artielo ; and Porlina shlvorod nt
tho prospect before hor, if this sum
mer’s campaign nhonld prove a failure.
On tho whole alio looked so ill when
she arrived at Baratoga, that, hor mirror
told hor that her best plan would ho to
retire early, and to take as much beauty
sleep as possible, in view of any oligiblo
gentleman that might put in an appear
ance noxt day.
Fresh as a rose, and dressed in her
becoming morning dross,' Porlina took
at at the breakfast table next
morning, and nestled oh so to Mrs.
Kerosene Nowbody in tho most bewitoh-
ig manner.
The lady, nn ample matron, with a
loud voice grooted her affectionately,
and at once introduced her to two gen
tlemen who wero her neighbor*.
Mr. Kelt, Miss Milkin, Miss Millo'n,
Mr. Downhill. All old friends of mine.
Charmed to make you know oaoh other,”
_..il then devoted herself to breakfast,
and left those who preferred it to wa to
time on conversation. And so Miss
Milklr, having tbo field to herself, made
yes at both her now acquaintance*, and
siirewedly noted amidst her infantile
gigglings and dimpling* that both wore
smitten. They were of tho age for ar
rows. Edmond Kelt was a youth of
ninote.cn, and Hiram Downhill was at
least, sixty-five. Ar a general thing men
from twenty-five to thirty ditto absorb
tho attention of tlio ladies, and youth*
and old gentlemen are in tho minority.
Never before had Mr. Kelt had *uoh
bewitching attention offered him. And
forold Downhill, his memory brought
back some dove-like glance* *uoh as
those Miss Milkin showered upon him,
from tho long-vanished years of his
youth, but not many.
To cut a long story short, Miss Milkin
having discovered that Mr. Kolt was
very rich and an orphan, and that Mr.
Downhill was a very wealthy bachelor,
at once set her cap for both gontlomen,
resolving to accept the one who pro
poned first. Bho loved neither. A girl
with her views, who had made a rush
into the matrimonial market with but one
stipulation—that tho man she married
should have money—wim scarcely likely
to have a heart. A husband meant to
her easy oirenmstanocs, freedom from
Aunt Gufferly’s incessant 44 nag
ging,” liberty to flirt as much as she
chose with ineligible*, who were often
very interesting, and freedom from the
dread of being an old maid.
Mrs. Newbody, who wae, on tho
whole, a good-natured woman, willing
hor friend* well Bottled, furthered
the affair to tho best of her ability.
There were walks, rides, drives, chat
ting in cony corners, and at last a pro
posal. It name from Mr. Kolt. Youth
is hasty, age slow. Mr. Downhill was
just making up hi* mind to do it, when
Mr. Kolt did it. Aud Miss Milkin said
44 yes,” and would have fallen into his
arms but that they were in full flight of
an old lady who had ja*t leveled her
opera glass fall at them from a window.
“Yes.” Perlina had annwered, and
young Kelt had blushed rosy-red, aud
“htssoul,” like that of Glorolna, in
the Wild Irish Girl, presumably went
4 ‘ on a gig to heaven,” for the band
playing delighlfnl dance* for their edi
fication ; and afterward, when thov had
had snpper, Perlina locked herself into
her room and wrote to her AuntGafierly.
Her letter ended thus ;
So yon see I'm engaged, and yon can’t twit
mo any longer. I don’t suppose poor Kolt
will over Bet the river on lire, bathe’s a l
natured fellow, and I can JiiHt twist him
abont my finger. And reraembor yon are
bonnd to give mo r handsome wedding-dross,
and havo always promised me poor ma's pearls
the day I married.
Your affectionate niece, PERLINA.

hylfmiri] of pest, and Perlina’* mind
wflfl at Tost. It diil not trouble her
muph that iu less than u week a tele
gram •summoned him lo tho city. ■ Bho
OOul it'll so tho fast-fading days of froo-
dam better than with an engaged lover
at hor flido, and she oortainly made’ the
mqflt of them, Bho plunged into fllrta-
bioffin a way that frigthened even Mrs.
Kqfrseno Nowbodv, and was happier
than she ever had been since her seurolt
Ml a* huBlmml oonunenoed. As for
poor Mr. Downhill, *ho quite suubbod
liitn, now that she had no view* con
cerning him. Meanwhile lho absent
Kill wroto lo?e-lott61re, and Bho an
swerad them.
“NeVer nhall I forgot niy feoliug*
when .you went out to ridewwith old
Downhill,” ho said, in one of thoBe.
“I really thonght for awhile tlmt you
liked him.”
And to thin sho* replied : 44 now
ootild you fanoy that.I should like a
oupiwannnutod old oVfmtwro-Iiko that,
lonlv tooK a littlo notico of him out of
pity. ’
Poor Perlina ! Life is oortainly very
much checkered. One morning Mrs.
Nowbody opened a Now York paper,
and having glnuoed down the oolutnn of
marriages and death*, gave a faint
shriek, nud looked nt Perlina in a terri-
tied way. Perlina gnatehed the paper
and saw this record : “Buddonly, on
the—th, Edmund Kolt.”
Edmond Kolt—there was no doubt, of
it. Mrs. Newbody looked nt Perlina,
oxpootlng to soo her faint. To hor sur
prise, tho young lady, though very ho-
rious, was quito calm.
Poor fellow," she said, 44 I’m very
sorry. Do bo quiot, dear Mrs. New
body ! Don’t let’s havo a ncono. No
one known wo woro engaged, and you
needn’t tell ’em. I don't want my soil*
t> spoiled.”
Then sho arose and went to her room,
oriod n littlo, bathed hor face, used
some pearl-powder on Iter iioho, and
went down stairs to ohnrm Mr. Down
hill by beaming upon him aud iibking
him how ho oonld bo ho dreadful and
nogleot hor no.
Iu a word, now that-tho old love wa*
gone, she “.took on with tho now," and
in a week Mr. Downhill hud proponed,
and wan accepted. And tho ustonished
Mrs. Gafforly received tut account of
tlio situation, which greatly surprised
hor.
Old Mr. Downhill was rather more
obstinate than even Mr. Kolt had boon.
Ho asserted his rights, and insisted
upon the open wearing of tho engage
ment ring.
Thoro was no more flirtation for Miss
Milkiu, and every ono know what hud
occurred. Bho wore a diamond ring of
great Val no on her finger, anil wa*
guarded by hor old boati from morning
unlii night. Ho even wrote hor several
notes ih tho intervals, between their
parting’ at midnight and meeting at
nine in tho morning, and in one of them
ho referred to hor flirtation with young
Kolt.
Miss Milkin was ono of thoso unlucky
victim* to love of letter-writing, who
oan never resist putting things down in
bftiok mid white. Bhe wroto this *on-
touoo in her rejdy: 44 You naughty,
nuugbtv gooso. How could I care for
a stripling like that! Poor fellow ! ho
was vory uioo ; hut only a hoy, you
know.” And when flho had writton that,
she thonght how muoh more managea
ble tho 44 boy” was, and how muoh jol
lier it was to run about with him than
to sit iu a corner with old Mr. Downhill,
who wus always afraid of catching cold,
and who would not lot hor dauoo beonuHo
ho could not. Btill ho wa* rich and she
i* engaged at last, ftftor all.
Ono ovnning *ho wiilkod tho piazza
with her betrothed, leaning on hts arm
in tho most confiding manner. Tho
evening train waB in, and people were
waiting for tho fltuges to bring tho now
people up to tho door. Somo ono was
seen waving a white handkerchief—a
young man with very red ohoek*—and
then *omo ono called out, “Why, it.’*
Kelt, allvo and woll.” For thoro had
been munli lament ition ovor tho poor
follow. And us ho sprung out of tho
crowded vcliiolo, thoy rushed toward
him to shako hands, and toll him that
ho had boon supposed (lend.
44 Death in the papaw. you know, ol
fellah,” said one cxquisito. 44 Woally
vewy ouyous how (loath oouhl be in
papaw wlion you wasn’t deal, you
know,” •
“It was poor grandfather. I was
named after him, you know. T never
thought what people would think. I—”
Then bo turned pale, and hurried into
tbo house, fearing that tho awful news
had killed his poor Perlina.
Mis* Milkin was in tho parlor. Bhe
had fled on his approach, and was really
luitu faint, and Mr. Downhill had gone
for a glofl* of water. Evory ono else
wait out of door*, aud tho young fellow
rushed toward hor.
My dourest love 1" ho whisporod,
...y darling 1 you did not think I was
dead?”
44 Ye* I did 1” gasped Porlina.
He bent over her and caught her
hands, and pressed them to his lips.
Oh, I couldn’t dio and leave you 1”
he said. “I—”
But hero a hand came down upon his
shoulder, and a thin voice breathed in
his e'*r : . , ,
“Yonng man. I’m very glad to see
on refltored as it woro from tho grave,
hut I can’t allow such liberties with the
ludv who i* going to marry me.”
Mr. Downhill had returned with the
glass of water.
Perlina, not knowing what to do, had
refuge in toars and silence. The pon-
tlemon grow fnrioas, and finally walked
away with each other, with “pistols for
two and coffee for four” in tlioir faces.
But this is eighteen hundred and soven-
ty-fonr, and muoh is thought of docu
mentary evidence. In a retired spot
whore they could not be overheard, the
hapless Perlina’s letters wero produced.
Poor littlo Kolt read with the bitter
agony of youth tho woman’s denial of
her love for, and engagement to him,
written a week after his supposed death,
and old Downhill gave a groan over an
other buried hope os ho read tho lines
on wbioh he was set down as a super
annuated creature only taken notico of
oat of pity.
After this tho two gentlemen shook
hand*. They had no quarrels with
each other now. Neither of them want
ed to marry Perlina Milkin. Bho re
oeived two little notes that evening toll
ing her so.
That was last summer. Tins year
Perlina did not go to Baratoga at all,
and Mrs. Gafforly having disminsod her
chambers aid, it is a matter of wonder
to the neighbors who the person with a
green barege veil on her head who rubs
tho windows oan be. It is barely possi
ble that this is Perlina. Mrs. Gafforly
is a woman of her word, and she con
siders her niece’s chance of matrimony
qnite over.

F1018 ABOUT IIAY FEVER.
Nut it it rt tlui Dlitnn IU Call'd n
Cure.
Dr. Bt>avd road a paper hist, week be-
foro tho American Publio Health associ
ation on the subject of bay fovor. Tho
following i* an interesting synopsis of
information obtained by addressing
oompotcut porsonfl in all Section* of tho
country ;
H ry fever ia a complex and not. a
pie diBoano, a* hns boon generally sup-
posed. Tho first olemnnt of tho aiscaso
is a norvo billioua temperament., or, at
least, a temperament in which the ner
vous element predominate*, Hay fever
patient* aro the olna* of patient* sub
ject to othor nervous diseases. Tho
second faotor in this diseaso is heat fol
lowing eohl. Tho boat of hot climates
doos not seom to not as n cause, bnt tho
boat of temperate climates following
the cold weather. Tho dmease is found
only, in that bolt where thoro are ex-
tromoflHof • tvmprihrtnm Third—Vart*
ons exciting causes, twenty or more in
number, snob as perfumo of flowers,
di1*t, in door’and out *(loor, fresh hay,
old liny, bright sunlight, gaslight, close
confined air, smoko, oindors, hulling of
corn, Roman wormwood, snooze weed,
ovor oxortiou, oto. In order to get up
a oaso of hay fovor, two of these throe
factors, certainly tho first two aro noo-
ossary. Tho oxoiting causes aro namod
under tlio third bond, and havo boon ro-
f fardod as tho di*onso, lionoe tho narno
tay fovor, pencil cold, rose eohl, etc.
Olio might as woll call a *iok hendnoho
a sausage headache, because it. may bo
at times caused by eating sansages.
Tho majority ol tho patients nfiliotod
with liny fovor who nro reported to me
aro of American birth. Dr. Jacobi, of
Now York, whoso experienoo and prno-
tioo among the better class of Gormans
aro vory largo, say* that ho luis never
known ti oaso of hay fovor among Ger
mans in this country. I suspect, that
among tho foreign population not horn
in this country hay fovor is compara
tively rarn \ just, ns among tho same
ohiHHOH nervous diseaso* of all kind*are
comparatively rare. Aftor a porsori has
ouoo boon attacked ho seems to bo for
all his life liable to bo again attacked.
Now and then a person may go over a
year without, the disoafle, but this is
o. Homotimos tho (lifloaso increases
Hoverity with years, and sometimes
diminishes. A majority of my patient*
have tried the local application of the
solution of quinine, ns reoommendod by
Helmholtz, and they roport. that it does
little or no good.
Among the regions which hay fever
patients visit, with benefit, I may mon-
tlio White Mountain* and the ooean
everywhere, at least iu oold climes ; for
thoso who take soa voyages almost, novor
(Tor while at flea, but may bo attacked
.... soon as they laud. A trip to Europe,
tbo Adirondack region, and tho island
of Ma kinaw i* very highly recom
mended by Homo. Dr. Dennison, of
Denver, 0o1„ nomla mo a pamphlet
wliioh report* that somo oafles of hay
fever have boon cured by a residence in
that locality, Like other norvous.dis-
euBoo, it is poworfully under, tho influ
enco of tho mind. Tito Striking perio
dicity of tho (lifloaso, coming on iih it
does, in a oortain ease, at. precisely the
snmo (lay or hour, is probably the result
in part of expectation of tlio patient
that it will oonto then.
Tho plan of treatment* that I would
suggest for hay fever, is as follows :
First., to prevent tho (liHonso. As early
oh March or April tho patient should
begin to take a course of norvo tonic
treatment. I would recommend it to be
arsenic, phosphorus in its various form*,
cod liver oil, iodoform and olootrioity,
especially tho methods of general gal
vanization and general faridization.
When tho diseaso appear* tho groat de
pendence must bo on local treatment,
combined with general tonic treatment.
My friend, Dr. W. F. Hutchison, of
Providence, lmd a oaso this year which
be broke up by central galvanization.
I relieved decidedly one eaRO and some
what relieved auothor by local galvani
zation externally. Tbo remedies should
bo used thoroughly. The groat trouble
with thoto who galvanize themsolves is
that, thoy do not. completely and thor
oughly bring tho remedies to net upon
all tho sinuous and tortuous lining
membrane of tbo nasal passages.

Newt-paper
Tito following in relation to newspa
per postage is of general interest. At
tho msb BCRsion of congress, tho subjoet
of postage on newspaper* and periodi
cal* wa* taken into consideration by
that body, resulting in tbo passage of a
bill compel ling ndvanoo payment of
pontage, aud fixing tbo ratoat two cent*
por pound on all of that olaHSof matter
published onco a week or moro fro-
(itioiiily, upd transmitted to . regular
Hiibseribor* through the mail*, and
three couts per pound on mum matter
issuod less frequently than onco a week.
Tlio provision* of thi* law nro to go into
effect Jan. 1, 1875. Tho postmaster
general being by law confined to a
choice of ono of three modes of collect
ing tho postage by means of stamp*,
considerable attention has been given
to tho matter by this office ; and after a
careful review of tho plan* propound, it
was doomed best to recommend tbo
adoption of the system of prepayment
hv postage stamp* affixed to a memo
randum of mailing, or, in other word*,
to a stub in a book retained by the post
master at tho mailing office, a receipt,
showing the weight of matter and tho
amount paid, being given by tbo post
master to the person mailing the name,
tho stamp* affixed to tho stub being can
celled by ft cutting punch, thus pro-
veutimr tlioir ro-uso. Thi* plan, it i*
believed, is more practicable and lcs*
expensive ill it* operation* than either
of the other*, while at the flame timo it
will bo quite a* cffeotoal iu collecting
tho p» stage. A series of stump* havo
boon devised of 24 denomination*, by
mean* of which any sum wbioh i* a
multiple of either tho two or throe oont
ruto, from two cent* to $72, can ho made
by the u*o of not more than live stamps.
It i* expected that, notwithstanding tho
roduotiou of rates by tlio law, tho *y*-
tom of compulsory prepayment of news
paper postage will yield a larger reve
nue to tho department than ha* ovor
been collected. In tho city of New
York alone, a comprehensive inquiry
seem* to warrant tho belief that not less
tlmn $000,000 per annum will bo paid—
a mini which i* littlo Iohh than ono half
of tho entire revenue from newspaper
postage throughout the Unitod Btate*
during tno fiscal year just closed. It
is however, impossible to (stimnto tbo
actual increase for the whole country,
owing to that provision of the law wliioh
allows tho mail circulation of newspa
per* in tho couutie* in which they tiro
printed.

an increase of 118.5 percent. The pop
