And we shall see hpw, while we frown and sigh, God's plans go on as best for you and me, I low when we called, he needed not our cry, Because his wisdom to the end could see, And e’en as prudent parents disallow Two much ot sweet to craving babyhood, So God, perhaps j* keeping from us now Life’s sweetest things because it seemeth good.

Prior to the financial crisis ol IBS’?, Joshua Marlin was deemed tin' most prosperous merchant in the then frontier city of St. Joseph, Wisconsin, lie was noted for his sterling' integrity and stainless character; and, if fie revel ed in wealth, lie did not parade it before tbe eyes of the people. IJc came to St. Joseph in 18111, and at once began to amass a fortune. Those who pretended to know, said that the Tin reliant uperafW in eastern stocks, and that the hulk of his wealth was staked among the bulls and bears of New York. The memorable ctash of that decade which embraces the dates above written, ruined Joshua Martin. Lie had staked everything in eastern securities, and he suddenly found himself a comparative beggar. Poor blinded man 1 110 could save nothing from the wreck, and he sat among the ruins of Iris fortunes, like Marius among those of Carthage. For ced to relinquish the imposing residence which, in his eagerness to delve deeper into stocks, he had mortgaged away, he was obliged to remove his family, con sisting of a w'f; and ore daughter, to ar. humble dwelling; and from the date of that removal, the Maitii s were no more mentioned ill the fashionable sochty of “St. Jo.” Tim troubles of the bankrupt's family did not end here.

After the death of her fa ther after her transf rmalion into the child ofadispised bankrupt—she did not shrink from the duties that fi/ll to her lot. She must live; she must earn her daily bread; and a week after the change ol life, we find Maumee Martin plying iln- j seamstress’ needle, or giving less ns iu j music to a few children whose parents' sent them to her because she taught ; cheaper than regular-musical preceptors ; By and. by, the house which they oe j tupied was sold over their heads; but' the new owner—a great middle aged, but somewhat handsome man—assured tlifeu that they should not ho turned out. The new owner was a stranger in St. Joseph; but immediately after purchas ing the property above mentioned be opened a commission store, and til once drew a thriving patronage about him Andreas Earley, for such was his name, came often to the homo of the Martins, and reports went abroad that he intended to wed tho bankrupt’s wid ow. ‘My chances are decidedly good,' said the merchant one evening, as ho bent over Hi" counting-room d"sk. ‘The girl apDears cot’, hut she will come about in time. People think that lam alter the widow; buts never entertained a thought in that direction. The beauty of the daughter would draw the widow’s most devoted ndurei to her side. That girl’s a beauty. She must Income Mrs. Han ley : she shall ! Yes,’ after a long pause, and as he slowly turned from the desk, ‘Harley your chances are good— decidedly good. You own their home, and in tho depth ol winter you can turn them out, if Maumee becomes stubborn and says ’No!' ’ He was the sole occupant of the count ing room; but as he crossed the thresh, old and t nrin and to lock the door, ho hoard a footstep and a yoice down the daik aisle. ‘Hold a moment, Mr. IfJrley. Re open the counting room, please. I wise a few wands with yon..’ Too merchant recognized the voice of one of his clerks. He did not reply, but stepped into the cosy c nnting-room, closely followed by Phillip Lee. ‘Web?’ he inquired, (inning suddenly upon the handsome young clerk. ‘Speak quickly, Lee; I must he going.’ ‘All I desire lo say is, that some ol the funds of the house have mysteriously disappeared.’ ■VVliat?' cried the merchant. ’Say that again, boy.’ The young mail repeated his words, and added— ‘One afternoon, while yon were absent east, I placed nine hundred and fifty dollars in the safe, und the following morning forty-five were missing,’ ‘You have committed an error iu count ing. possibly.’ ‘lf I cannot count money correctly when it is before my eyes, l deserve to he thrown out ot employment,’ said the youth, in an insulted air. Several times during your absence, have I noticed the peculations of some unknown person.’ ‘Who had access to the safe I’ ‘I held the keys, sir,’ answered Phil lip, quickly. I have not missed them for a single moment. But tho safe lias been opened by keys.’ Andreas Harley dropped his head in deep thought, while the clerk stepped to his desk, and summed up various col umns on tho hack of an envelope which tie drew from an inner pocket. ‘Three hundred dollars have been pur loined wilbiu four weeks,’ turning from the dusk. ‘lt staggers me,' returned Harley. But We will watch the thief, and if we catch him, lie shall have his reward.’ The merchant began buttoning his gieat coat, and the clerk walked from the room. Andreas Harley heard him close and lock the outside dm r of the store, and then stepped toward the desk, his dark eyes fixed upon an object which lay thereon. It was the envelope upon which Phil lip Lee had been figuring. ‘l’ll look at Ins figures,’ he murmured; but the next moment iio turned the en velope and looked at the superscription. It was merely 'Phillip Lee, Present;' but | the cnirography startled tho meiohaut. Those delicately formed letters he had encountered before. And after closing tlit- counting room door, he half fearlul lv drew (he letter from Its hiding place. For a moment his eves remained fixed upon the Lrirf communication, when he started from the desk while something like ail oath fell from his lipH. ‘So Miss Maumee Martin.’ he cried, \ hurling the letter to the floor, and gaz i ing angrily at it, ‘you possess a lover ! beside Andreas Harley. Git ! —woman |—l will not submit to this If you pre | for the employee to the employer, you must hunt another home. Bat, by lieav ens von shall not wed him, as he Stands before the world now. He has held the keys to the safe. He has robbed it ! The Cl true shall he fastened upon him. Harley s chances do not look so bright now; but i fancy that a little sternness will bring the girl to terms Sties a (’"/gar now, almost. Does she Want to marry am thei? Tien he picked the letter tip, read it again, and placed it ou the desk where the youth had left it. The contents of the missive did not amount to much. It w.s merely a reply t>. one which, during business hours, Phillip Lee had sent her; hut the appel lati n ot ‘Dear Philiip had opened a mine of nforrnation to Andreas Harley. Me had never eneouniered his clerk at the home of the Martins. They had spoken of him but once or twice, and then cas ually; and he had suspected nothing un til tbe letter was tiirowu iu his way. * Several days of quiet proceeded the bursting of tbe storm. Clerk and employer encountered each other often, but no unusual words pas3 , ed between them It was evident that . Andreas Harley was disp.eased atsi mo ttling, but be took care to conceal his displeasure aH much as possible. Tbe night following the one that wit to ssed the scene in tie couutiog-ioooi described above, witnessed the robbery I t 1 of the sale. This time thirty dollars wore abstract ed, and Andreas Harley called one of the clerks. Theodore Mason to his desk and acquainted him with the facts. Mason, upon being asked if lie sus pected anybody, said : ‘Lee.’ The merchant started at the announce ment, hut a flush of triumph stole to his temple. ‘I saw Lee standing by the store last night at eleven, while I was going home from the club,’ continued Mason, evinc ing an eagerness to unburden himself of something that preyed upon his mind. ‘Medio not speak as I passed him, hut perhaps lie did not see me, as it was raining and he can ied his umbrella low —a little lower than was necessary, I fancy ’ ‘I am on the trail,’ said Andreas Harley* exilltingly. ‘Ai and yet,’ feigning a sorrowful tone, ‘I do not want to think the pnrloiner is Phil’ip Lee.’ ‘Nor do I,’said Mason; ‘but circum stances condemn him. I could tell yon more. Mr. Harley, hut I do not like to speak against Philip.’ Andreas Harley persuaded Theodore Mason to unburden his mind further concerning Philip Lee, and that night the accused cleik found hiiuself in the clutches of the law. The arrest was so qflietly conducted that the public was unaware of the traiisaciion until the morning papers placed it befote their eyes. Flushed with triumph, Andreas Har ley, on the morning following Philip Ice’s arrest, hastened to the home of the Martins. He often made such calls on his way to the store, slid this morning lie foui and the bankrupt’s family pleased to see him. Maumee was in the parlor preparing for her class in music, arid Andreas Har ley thongnl she linked lovelier than ever in her plain dress nud uunetted hair. He did not doff his overcoat; he said he had not long to slay; ho had stepped in to impart a piece of information which might interest the tenants of his house. The merchant’s daughter wondered what the news might he, as Andreas Harley drew a morning journal from Iris pocket. ‘I am sorry that I have occasioned this paragraph, ’ he raid, Doiclring the top of a column of city news; ‘hut 1 could not In Ip it.' Maumee took the paper, and, in a mo- > ment, mastered tho account of Philip’s arrest. ‘Mr. Hailey, cannot you be mistaken?’ she asked, when she looked from the pa per with pallid face. ‘No, Maumee; the proofs are convinc ing against him,’ he answered, and then, while the fair girl’s head lay on her bo som, and her eyes, swimming in tears, fell to the floor, he left his chair and came to her side. ‘Girl,’ he said, 'is Philip Leo anything to you?’* Maumee quickly drew her hand from Ins grasp, and started to tier feet. ‘He is something to me,’ she cried, facing the merchant, through whose scheming she seemed to have seen in stantly. Tie is much to me —and more, Andreas Harley, he never robbed your safe I’ The merchant, for some moments, did rnff know what to say, but at last lie found his tongue. ■Girl, lie is guilty, 1 greatly regret to say; but you can save him.’ ‘How, Mr. Harley?’ ‘By becoming my wife! I can liber ate him, and on such conditions the doors of the jail shall he open to him.’ Fire flashed iu Maumee Martin’s dark eyes. ‘Andreas Harley,’she cried, ‘yonder is the door that leads into the streft,’ and with quivering fingers she pointed to the portal. •This house is mine,’ he said. ‘I care not.’ ‘I can turn yon out into the snow.’ ‘There is the do- rI I wish to live un der such bounty as yoar no longer.’ ‘I will not go until yon promise to be come my wife,’ said tiie merchant stern ly. At that moment the widow entered the room, arid Maumee sprang into the chamber, which her mother had just va cated. An instant later she reappeared, heel ing a musket of quaint and clumsy work manship . ‘Go, Andreas Harley,’ she ciied, in a determined tone. ‘Mother, please open the door for the plotter ’ Wondering what had transpired to mar tbe friendship existing between M uimoo and the merchant, Mrs. Martin opened the parlor door, and Andreas Harley with clenched hands and venge ful v.sage strode from the r om. No sooner had lie departed, than Mau mee dropped the gun, and threw heraell j into her mother’s arms. ‘Oil, mother! mother!’ she cried, ‘how swiftly one misfortune follows another. But, and she lifted her head, ‘Philip shall not bo condemned! He shall not fall the victim of a conspiracy—never 1’ Yet that day the Martins were driven (rom beneath the roof which had sholltr ml them since their fiist great misfort une, and they found a temporary abode wilii Philip Lee’s widowed mother. Maumee soon leafoed the particulars ol her lover’s airest and preliminary ex- j animation, a,| d U>P following day she i purchased a pistol with a poiliou of her j musical earnings. When uight came she mads her way j to Thpad re Mason's chamber, and star- j tied the clerk by her abrupt appealance. j The young man’s face assumed a death- 1 iy bun aud Maumee’s mental ejaculation wus ; ‘l’ve found the right man.’ She knew much of Theodore Mason's habits, and she judged him to bo the robber of the merchant’s safe. JAt first lie denied the charge, hut when he saw the pistol clutched by tit# girl’s fair white hands, lie changed his tuue. He wrote his confesniuu on paper, and Maumee called a young lawyer into the room to witness the signature. That conlession implicated Andreas Harley. The clerk had been detected in ins crimes by the merchant, who had Drummed to pardon him if ho would aid itirn to eon viet Philip, wlto, in time wedded Mau mee Martin. Young Mason was permitted to es cape, and when Harley beard of the con fession, lie hastily disposed of bis store and followed him. The guilty clerk left behind the skeleton key with which he had opened ttie safe, and (hey still hang in the luxurious home of Philip Lee, now one of Chicago merchant princes. Josh Billing-’ Paper.

Professor Wilder, of Cornell Universi ty, says Moore’s Rural Now Yorker, gives the following short rules for action in cases of accident, which will be found useful to remember: Fir dust in tho eyes, avoid rubbing; dash water in them; remove cinders, etc,, with the round part of a pencil. Remove water from the ear by tepid water; never put a hard substance in the ear. H any artery is cut compress above the Wound; if a vein is cut, compress be low. If choked, get on all fours and cough. For slight burns, dip the part in cold water; if the bkiu is destroyed, cover with vuruisli. Smother a fire with carpets, etc; wa ter will often spread burning nil mid in crease the danger. Before passing through smoke take a long breath, and then stoop low; but if carbonic acid gas is suspected, walk erect. Suck pni-oned wounds, unless your mini li is sore, enlarge the wound without delay; hold the wounded part as long as can I o 6nrue to a trot coal or end of a ci gar. In case of poisoning, excite vomiting by tickling the throat, or by waiur Wa ter and mustard. For acid poisons, gives alkalies; for alkilino poisons, giv acida— while of j egg is good in most cases; in cases of opium poisoning, give strong coilee and j keep moving, li in water float on the back, with the : nose and mountti projecting. For appoplexy, raise the head and | body; for fainting, lay toe person flat. j A Drunkard's !)(«• I once Haw a striking instance of I In faithfulness of this animal, near Central Park, where, on a pile of stone lay a man seemingly lifeless front intoxication Standing over him, ami looking piteous ly into his face, was a large New Fourid ; land dog.
