One cold, windy morning, the last Sunday in December, lfc'47, a half nak ed man knocked timidly at the base ment door of a tine substantial man sion in the city, of Brooklyn. Though the weather was bitter even for the season, the young man had no clothing but a pair of rag led cloth pants and the remains of a flannel shirt, in rn-tny large rents, and which exposed his muscular chest. But, in sp te ol his tattered apparel and evident fatigue, as he leaned heavily upon the railing of the basement siairs, a crit’cal observer could not fail to notice a conscious air of dignity, and the marked traces ol cultivation and nllnement in his pale and haggard countenance. The jloor was speedily opened, and disclosed a comfortably furnished 'oom with its glowing grate of authracite, be fore which was ^placed a luxuriously furnished breakfast table. A fashiona bly attired young man, in a brocade dressing gown and velvet slippers, was recliping nt a soft fauteuil busily read ing the morning papers. The beauti ful young wile had lingered at the ta ble, giving to the servant in . waiting her orders for the household matters of the day, when the timid rap at the door attracted her attention. Sue command ed it.to be opened; but the young mas ter of the mansion replied that it was quite useless—-being no one but a thievish beggar. But the door was al ready opened, and the sympathies of Mrs. Maywood enlisted at once. ‘Come in to the fire,’cried tbeyoung wife, impulsively, ‘before you perish!’ The mendicant, without exhibits" any surprise at such unusual treatment of ft street beggar, slowly entered the room, and manifesting a painful weak ness at every step. On Ins entrance, air. Maywood, with a displeased air, •lathered up his papers and left th. apartment. The compassionate lady unwisely p’aced the half-frozen man near the fire, while she prepared a bov/1 of fragrant coffee, which, with abundant food, was placed before him. But no ticing the abrupt departure of her has band, Mrs. Maywood with a clouded countenance left the room, whispering to the servant to remain until the stranger should leave. She then ran hastily up the richly mounted staircase and paused befote the entrance (1 a small laboratory ami medical libary, occupied solely by her husband, who was a physician and praeiical chemist. She opened- the door and entered the room. Mr. Maywood was sitting at a small table with his head rtsting o.n iiis haiids, an; arently in deep thought. •Edward,’Said the young wife, gently touching his arm, ‘I fear I have dis pleased you; but the man looked so wretched 1 could not beat to drive him awav,' and her sweet voice trembled as as she added—‘You kniw I take the •sacrament to-day.’ ‘Dear Maty,’ replied the really fond husband, ‘I appreciate your motives. I know it is pure goodness of heart which leads you to disobey me, but still I must insist u; on my former com mands—that no beggar shall ever be permitted, to enter the house. It is for your safety that I insist upon it. How deeply you might be imposed upon, in my f;< quent absence from home, Ishud der to think. The man who is below may Lea burglar in disguise, and al ready in your absence taking impress ions in wax of the different key-holes in the roorn,_so as to enter some night at his leisure. Your limited experience of city life makes it difficult for you to credit so much depravity. It is no obarity to give to street beggars; it on ly encourages vice, dearest.’ ‘It may be so,’ responded Mrs. May- woo'l, ‘but it seems wicked not to re lieve suffering and want, even if the person has behaved badly, and we know it. But I promise you not to ask another beggar into the house.’ At this moment the servant rapped vioently at the door, crying out that the beggar was dying. ‘Come, Edwaid, your skill can save him, I know,’ said his wife, hastening from the room. The doctor did not refuse this appeal to his professional vanity, for he im mediately followed her Hying footsteps as she desended to the basement. They found the mendicant lying pale and unconscious upon the caipet, where he had.slipped in his weakness front the chair where Mrs. Maywood had seated him... /He is a handsome fellow,' muttered the doctor, as he bent over him to as- cer tain the state,of his pulse. And well be might say so. The glossy locks f off raveri hair had fallen away froiri a broad white forehead ;.h'8 closed eyelids were bordered by long raven lashes, which .lay like a silken fringe upon bis pale, bronzed cheeks, white a delicate aquiline nose, and a square massivechin, displayed a model ot manly beauty. ‘Is he dead ?’ asked the young wife anxiously. ‘Oh, no; it is only a fainting fit. in duced by the sudden change of tem perature, and, prehaps, the first stage of starvation,’ replied t]ie doctor sym pathTzingly; He had forgotton for the moment his cold maxims of prudence, and added jM ‘he must be carried to warm room without a fire, and placed in ft 'comfortable bed.’ The coachman was called in to assist in lifting the athletic stranger, who was soon carried to a room in the chambers, whore the doctor administered with bis own hands port wine sangaree. The young man soon became partly con scious; but all conversation was forbade him, and lie sank quietly to sleep. ‘He is doing well; let him rest as long as he can; should he awake in our abcence, give him beef tea and toast ad libitum said the doctor professioually, as he left the room. In less than an hour afterwards, Dr. Maywood and his lovely wife entered the gorgeous church of the most Holy Trinity. Amid the hundreds of fair dames that entered its broad portals, dressed with all the taste and magnificence that abundant wealth could procure, not one rivalled in grace and beauty the orphan bride of the rich physician. Her tall, graceful figure was robed in a velvet silk itiat only heigtened by contrast her azure eyes, bright with the lustre youthful happiness, yet ther- was a touch of tender pity in their drooping lids that won the confidence of every beholder, ’/he sonwy ermine matilla, which protected her from the piercing wind, rivalled, but could not surpass Jelicatepurity of her complexion. Many admiring eyes followed the faultless figure of Mrs. Maywood, as she moved with unconscious grace up the central aisle of the chr. b, but none with more heartfelt devotion than the young, wayward, but generous man, who iiad reccrtly wed her in spite of her poverty and the sneers of his aris tocratic acquaintance. The stately organ had pealed its last rich notes, which were still faintly echoing in the distant arches, when stranger of venerable aspect, who Had previously taken part in theseryic s of the alta, rose and announced for his text the off-quoted, but seldom applied words of the Apostle: ‘Be not forgetful to entertain stangers, for thereby some have entertained an gels unawares.’ Dr. Maywood felt his forehead flush painfully; it appeared to him for the moment that the preacher must have known his want of charity toward strap gers, and wished to give him a public lesson ; but he soon saw from the tenor of his remarks, that his own guilty con science had alone made the application in this particular case. I have not space, nor the power to give any syuop sis of the sermon ; but that ir, combin ed with the incident ot the morning, effected a happy revolution in the minds of at least one of i.s hearers—so much so, that on the return of Dr. Maywood from church he tej aired at once to the loom of the mendicant, to offer such at tentions as he migfeu stand in need of. But the youug man seemed to be mucb refreshed by rest and nutrious food, and commenced gratefully thanking the host for the kind attentions he had re ceived, which, \vit!rout doubt, had sav ed Ids life. •I am not the beggar that I seem.’ said he. ‘I was shipwrecked on Fri day night iu the Ocean Wave on tny return lrom India. My name was doubtless among the list of the.lost— for I escaped from the waves by a mir acle. I atternped to make my way to New York, where I have ample funds in bank now awaiting my orders; but I must have perished from cold and hunger, had it not been for you and your wife’s provident charily I was repulsed from every door as an impos tor, and could get neither food nor rest.

Arthur Willet gazed at her with a look of wild surprise, murmuring— ‘It cannot be— it cannot be. I am delirious to think so.’ Mrs. Maywood gazed with little less astonishment. ‘What painful rm'stery is this ?’ cried Dr. Maywood excitedly, addressing his wife, who then became conscious of the singularity of her conduct. Oh, no mystery,’ she replied, sighing deeply, ‘only this stranger is the very image of my long lost brother, Arthur.’ And Mrs. Maywood, overcome with emotion, turned to leave the room. ‘Stay one moment,’ pleaded the stranger, drawing a small mounting ring from his Anger, and bolding it up, asked if she recognized that telic? ,She shrieked aloud, ‘Merciful Heav en ! It is my fathers gray hair! and you are—’, ‘His.son, Arthur Willet, and your loDg lost brothet!’ Mary Willet May wood fell upon the njendicam’s breast, shedding tears of sweetest joy and thanksgiving. Dr. Maywood joined in cordial con gratulation and sympathy, and retired from the sacred hour of reunion, say ing to himself ‘Be not forgetful to entertain stran gers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.’ Livingstone—Hi3 Probable Fate. At the final fortnightly meeting of the session of 1869-70 of the Royal geographical Society of England, in London, June 14, Sir R. Munchinson referred to the present position of Dr. Livingstone and the succor which is to be s nt to him. He said: There have been great mis apprehensions about this affair, and I have received numerous applications from active young men anxious to go in earch of Dr. Livingstone, supposing that there was a real expedition about to start from this country or elsewhere. There is no sucit expedition even in imagination, and certainly none in reali ty, contemplated in anyway. Dr. Liv ingstone has been more than three years and a half in the heart of Africa, with out a sing c European attendant. lam not sure that the sight of a young gen tleman sent out from England, who was n< t acclimatized, would produce a bad fieri ns .end of a good one upon tny friend the Doctor, for he would have to take care of the new arrival, who would very soon die there, and the poor Docter would have an additional load. I have, therefore, to announce that there is do such intention whatev er. I have received a dozen letters from admiring young volunteers, who are anxious to distinguish themselves, but who have not the least idea of what they are about. I have every reason to believe that the £1,000 that the govern- * ment has given will go out by the Con sul of Zanzibar, who happens, acciden tally, to be in this country, and who is going out immediately. He will in struct D.\ Kirk, the Vice Consul, to refit the same expedition which was started before, but which was impeded by an attack, of cholera. The cholera^ has passed away entirely, the country is free from Zanzibar, and the only difficulty now is to get to Ujiji, where my dear and valued lriernl was and still is, for he cannot move for w rad or back ward without carriers, supplies, and se* forth. It will take two months or more for those supplies to go from the seaboard to Ujiji, therefore you must put aside all anxiety for some months to come. I hope in seven or eight mouths hence you will hear good news, and that very soon after that we shall sec our friend again in his native eotuv-^ try * Death tF a Famous Bird.—Tb& French papers announce the death of Jacko, the famous parrot of the War Office in Paris. Jacko was brought into the office in 1830 by Marshal. Sault, and he remained for forty years at his post unaffected by revolutions or party conflicts. After a time he come to be looked-upon as an indispensable appendage to the War Department, anti when there was a Cabinet crisis the people used to ask who was to get, not the'War Office portfolio, but the War office parrot. Though he served under eighteen diileient ministers, he always remained consistent to the priti* - ciples which were instilled into him when he first entered office. Both un der the republic and the second empire- he remained a siaunch Royalist, and there weic a few members of his party who spoke their minds with so much frankness. One day his repeated cries of “Vivo lo Roi” so annoyed Marshal St. Arnaud when he was War Minis-' ter that he ordered the indiscreet bird to be tur. ed our. Jacko had a friend, however, in the pouer, who took him into his lodge and taught him to add ‘Me St. Arnard” to his usual cry. The bird was then put back into his room, and as ihe Marshal was passing, scream ed out; “Vi/e le roi de St. ArnaudL'* ■‘A la bonne heure,” said the Minister, and Jacko was at once re-taken into favor. Of late years the clerks tried to teach him “Vive l’Empereur !” but ha never could bring out the entire sen—• tence without tremendous efforts. Ha got on very well as far as “l’Etnpe— but at this point he seemed to choke, his feathers stood on end, and his eyes rolled with an anxious expression as if he felt his conscience reproaching him. At last, after several minutes of intense struggling he would just jerk- out the last syllable “—*reur,” iu a hoarse, sepulchral tone. He died im mediately after the Duchess of Brirry, and on the anniversary of the deathofj' Napoleon V., three’ days before the- Plebiscitum. A good old Quaker lady, after listen ing to the extravagant yarn of a sho'pk keeper as long as her patience would allow, said to him : ‘Friend, what a pity it la a to lie; it seems so Decessary to thy happiness. A clergyman argued that he- was right in calling all his congregaton ‘be- loved brethren,’ because the bretbjies** embraced the sisters. When the census taker asked an Iowa wCTban the age ofher oldest.cbild, she informed him that he ‘bail coma around about a month too soon.’ A distinguished President of Har vard College was asked by a brother clergyman how long it took him to write a sermon. He said: ‘Sometimes a week, sometimes lon ger.’ ‘What fa week to'write a ser mon ? I write one in a day, and make nothing of it.’ ‘Yes,’ replied the Doc tor, ‘but I trudge something of mine.’ The Sta’e University appears to be i», a prosperous condition. Two hundred, and ninety-two students are enrolled. Among the Romans the month ol May was sacred to Apollo, and almost every day was a festival. ‘Drowning men will catch at straws. So will drinking men. E u-ri SltiQTH
