They stood watching the moon

antly, until Caroline came to the

Jessie, as she followed her into the

Mr. Leith was sitting in the

He did not hear Jessie’s answer

to the room, going straight over to
the piano.
Mr. Leith held his breath, ly

He could see the dim outline of
the form as she sat at the piano:
for what little light there was fell

—most unreasonably angry with
her, but he could not lose the
chance of speaking to her alone.
‘Miss Jessie,’ said he quietly.
Jessie gave a faint scream. He
had frightened her so much that
she trembled like a leaf. She was
going to run out of tiie room,
when his voice arrested her injve-

by her side. -

And for the first two or three

conscious of tiie fact that lie was
under the same roof with a pretty
girl. But lie made the discovery
one afternoon. When wandering
through the orchard, with his

They had not been married a year
when one dxy in a fit of haste
wrath he said to his wife, "I want
no correction from you. If you
are not satisfied with my conduct
you can return to your own home,
whence I took you, ami find happi
ness with your kind.’
‘if I leave you,' returned the
unhappy wife.‘will you give me
back that which I brought you?’
'Every dollar. I covet not your
wealth; you shall have it all
back.’
•Alt,’ site replied, *1 mean not
the wealth of gold. I thought
not of dress. I mean tny maiden
heart, my (ii si nnd ouly love, my
buoyant hopes and the promised
blessing of my womanhood. Can
you give these to'me?’
A moment of thought, of convul
sion and then taking her in his
arms he said: "No. no. my dear
wife, I cannot do that, but I will
do more—1 will keep them lit nee
forth unsullied and nupained. 1
will cherish your blessing as my
own, and never again. God help
ing me, will I forget the pledge I
I gave yoli at the ho'v altar w hen

pleasant voice of his.’
Jessie thought so too, but she
did not give vent to her opinion
in words. She was looking tin
usually well; a color became Iter,
but it was not the rose flush Ujatn
her cheeks that made her look so
lovely. There was a change in
her to-night, anti her sister was
vaguely conscious of it as the girl
stood looking down into the glow
ing fire in the kitchen grate.
•Our Jessie is growing a regu
lar beauty,’ observed Caroline to
her father when her sister had
gone up to l>ed.
•Handsome is that handsome

puffing away at his pipe. Jessie’s
•Yon seemed very happy.*
•Bolt and I are always like that,’
observed Jessie, her eyes begin
ning to sparkle, and a little smile
quivering on her sweet lips. But
George Leith could not see these
signs of merriment.
‘I hope you always will he,’ he
said. ‘May I wish you every ha|>-
piness?’
•You may if you like.’ said Jes
sie with an odd little break in her
voice, for she was trying hard to
smother her laughter.
•When is it to be?' asked Mr.
Leith, trying to speak lightly, but
not succeeding very well.
•When is what to be?’ asked
Jessie with a little gasp.

At a dinner recently given in

"Wliat was the origin of the $
mark?” One of the savans explain

On the reverse side of a Spanish
dollar is a representation of the
pillars of Hercules, and round
each pillar is a scroll with the in
scription, “Plus ultra.” This tie

stands at present for American as

A Petrified Squirrel.
The following is from the Ste
vens Point (Wis.) Gazette; “One
of llte greatest curiosities of the
present day, found among the
pines of Central Wisconsin, was
discovered near Knowllon a few
weeks ago. It was in the form of
a petrified squirrel, alxitit llte size
of a common squirrel, and was la
ken from the heart of a tree by
some woodsmen. It was ol a
brownish color, as hard as rock,
and was ‘as natural as life,’ even
to the kink in its long, bushy tail.
The curiosity was carefully pack
ed and sent by William Mulhollen,
its owner, lo President Cleveland,
from whom a personal letter of
thanks was received last week by
the sentler, saying that it would
be carefully preserved and placed
in the public museum at Wash
ington.”

People who have warm friends
are healthier, happier Ilian thoM
who have none. A single real
friend is a treasure worth more
than gold or precious stones.
Money can buy many things, good
anti etil. All the wealth of the
world could not buy a friend, or
pay you for the loss of one. “I
ltave ouly wanted one thing t*
make me happy,” Hazlitt writes;
• but wanting that, have wanted
everything.” And again, “My
heart shut up in the prison house
of this rude clay, lias never found,-
nor will ever lint), a heart to
speak to.” We are the weakest
of spendthrifts if we let a friend
drop off through inattention, ot
let one push another away; or it
we hold aloof from one for petty
jealousy or heedless slights or
roughness. Would you throw
away u diamond because it prick
