Have you provided for your niece’s future welfare?” ■‘What's that to you?” “Considerable. I am about to marry Miss Silver, so her interests are naturally mine. ” “Then she is provided for, amply.’’ Thank you for your information. Very glad to hear it. And now, excuse the ap parent impertinence of thd question, but where is your will?” “Here,” said Mr. Maddox, laying his hand on it. “Suppose you give it to me to take care of?” “Give it to y6u! Why, pray?’’ “It might become misplaced,” explained Guy. “I’ll keep it myself,” said Mr. Mad dox, roughly. “Then just leave a memorandum out he table,.’ said Guy, earnestly, “to tell where it is. It will save trouble, perhaps.” “Get out.”’ cried Mr. Maddox, angrily. “Ah, I see!” said Mr. Cheevers, coolly; Heft-Tand Neighbors. The house is a comfortable-looking brown bouse, nearly surrounded by veran dahs. It is situated in a large yard, where there are many fruit trees. As you enter the door you find yourself in a large, pleas ant room. There are easy chairs before the windows, inviting you in their quiet way to repose. Between the windows there is a pretty little table which is neither ma hogany nor rose-wood, toward which your eyes always wander, for there is always to be found on it an old-fashioned silver basket, filled with fruit vaiying with the seasons; in winter rosy apples and golden oranges, in autumn purple grapes. Behind the fire is an ottoman whereon a large, be nevolent-looking cat is generally to be found. The famiiy consists of. three persons, a man, his wife and a daughter. T he man is about middle height, ana looks to be on the shad}* side of i orty. His greatest aim in life seems to be to go a fishing. He is a person of whom we say “out of sight, out of mind. ” The lady looks younger than her husband. She wears her hair in the fashion of twenty years ago—two curls be hind her respective ears, aud the remaining two or three hairs in a small-sized A Tame Otter. nothing more, thus proving that the fibre, ~ _ j in which the strength lies, must have been A recent writer in an English paper says; j quite uninjured.

I will end my troubles and sorrows to-morrow at twelve o’ clock. ’’ And with these fearful words he strode out of the room, leaving Lizzie sobbing, with her curly black head resting on a din ner-plate. “What’s the matter now, Bess?

Now, it seems to me you don’t go the rigid way about it. This box”—aud here he opened the box before alluded to—contains several little plans that 1 think might please you. Here’s one”—and he showed a little steel instrument. “What’s that?” asked Mr. Maddox, curi ously. “This,” said. Guy, “is an article that you can placp round your neck like a collar; then, by striking your hand on the left side of your neck, a sharp spike Is driven right into your jugular vain •” “But that would kill me?” said Mr. Maddox staring. “Well, ain’t that what you want?” de manded Guy, sternly. “Now, here’s an other,” he went on. “Here’s a wheel, you observe.

Have v< hi any idea what plan he will try next?” “I’m sure I don’t know,” said Lizzie, mournfully. “Something dreadful, I sup pose.” “But what does he want, to make away with himself for?” asked Guv, wondering- iy. “Why, he says he Is a miserable man, a burden to every one, and that life has no joys for him, and that he is weary of this world ” -“And so would like to try the next?” said Guy, “Perhaps he won’t find it as pleasant as the one he is quitting. What an unreasonable man he must be! He is rich, talented, healthy, and lias a very pretty niece”—here, in a moment of ab straction, he allowed bis arm to wonder on it—scientific suicide, you see! Anybody can take poison, or blow their brains out; but to do it scientifically requires real talent. You have it aud I am confident you will reflect credit on ni} r inventive skill. Now,” he continued, confidentially, “if you could use all three of these inventions at once— cut your jugular, garrote yourself and blow your head off, all at once—why, I d thank you.” “What!” cried Mr. Maddox, fiercely, “do you think I’m going to use any of your infernal inventions? Get out of this room, you cold-blooded villain, before I throw you out of the window!” ‘But I have a great many more to show you,” demonstrated Guy; “and you see I want you to try as many as possible. Well, well” he added, as Mr. Maddox grasped the poker threateniugly, “I’m going. But I’ll leave this box here, and before you get rid of yourself, just make a memorandum of what you will use, and leave it on the table, because, you know, there will proba bly be nothing left of you to draw conclu sions from, and so ” Here any further speech was cut short by Mr. Maddox seizing his visitor, and hustling him out into the passage. “Well,” said Lizzie, anxiously, to Guy. “I think it’s all right.” said Guy, grin ning. “Get the lunch ready, Your uncle door somewhere there, and that is the knob. Her teeth, of which she has but few, look older than she is. One of them has a par ticularly downcast expression, as it drops •despondently over her lower lip. She dresses peculiarly, looking as if she had never come to the end of her wedding tros- seau. She is geuerous aud open-hearted. Also, she is seriously inclined to gossip,and irresis .ibly given to exaggeration. When you are m need of advice she can always supply you, on any and all subjects. She has been heard frequently to l>oast that there is no man sJie is afraid of; and her husband never argues the point with her. Some people know when they are well off. Her daughter, a girl of nineteen, is her self moderated. She hat a retrousse nose, and sandy hair, inclined to a carroty shade. She has what is called vegetable beauty. This family have a dog. It is not a vic ious dog, for, judging from the large amount of bark, there can be very little bite. The family think everything of the animal— the man because it is of such a fine breed, the ladies because it keeps off burglars. It does keep off burglars, by keeping the neighbors on the alert. Several obituaries have been written, in case this dog should die. This dog occasionally gets away. This is the signal for a commotion. The lady drops her knitting and runs after the ani mal, and all the small boys and girls follow. Jumping from curbing to roiwl and from road to gutter, heated and excited, scolding and exhorting, this left-haud neighbor gives earnest chase. The number of pursuers in creases at every block. The policeman stands on the corner, wondering whether the dog is mad or the people are. Several baby carriages have fallen into the ranks, and all the dogs for three miles around. The neiglilKWb, tbinking«of fire and other dreadful thiugs, rush to the wiudows and see one dog gambolling along, followed by a very excited woman, and the juvenile portion ol the neighborhood. They hear abov3 the din caused by drivers, bahii?s and dogs, a sharp, snrill voice, telling Jennie, the dog, to perambulate gently home and expatiating on the animal’s waywardness. Finally the dog is caught and the procession files peacefully home. A hush settles down, and the only sound that disturbs this se renity is the barking of the dog. Killed at a Tournament. pies: One of the whelps died, but the other took to the hound, and throve famously; he mixed with the puppies, but fought like % demon, and was soon master of the situa tion. Wherever they went,he went with them, fighting everything he met with. He also became a pet with all the household, who never missed a chance of feeding him. His special treat was bowls of milk and broth; to get these be would find his way into dairies, larders, etc. Thus he wen* on, until be had to enter the puppies for' otter hunting.

Henry the Second, of France, who ex celled in every exercise of chivalry, was peculiarly fond of tournaments, and gave a splendid succession of them ou the mar riage, by proxy, of Elizabeth, to Philip II., at Paris. The lists extended from the Pal ace of the Tournelles to the Bastile, across the streets of San Antoine. In the first two days the kiug broke several lances with lords of his court, in all of which he showed extraordinary vigor and address. Ou the third day of the tournament, June 30,- 1559, toward the close of the evening, and the conclusion, Henry showed a great in- c ination to try his prowess against the Count de Montgomery captain of his Life Guards, who had formerly wounded Francis I. so dangerously on the head, at Romo- rentin in Beri, and was distinguished for liis superior address in these combats above any nobleman in the kingdom. Catherine de Medici, as if by a secret presage of the event, entreated the king not tore-enter the lists; but "he resisted her solicitations, say ing he would break one lance more in her honor. Montgomeri accepted the chal lenge with great reluctance. Henry com manded him to obey, and even fought with his vizor raised; but the authors are not quite agreed whether it was raised inten tionally, or flew open by a blow from Montgomeri’s lance, in an encounter which was so violent that the coimt’s lance broke against the king’s helmet; he then fought with the stump which remained in his hand, and with it had the misfortune to strike the king so violent a blow under the eyes which threw* him to the ground, and deprived him instantly of both speech and understanding, though he lived eleven days afterward.

These lines were evidently ascending col umns of water, for afterward, when the upper and lower sections becarno detached, the accumulated volume of water overhead immediately began its descent within the body of the spout, as though it had been the valve of an immense syringe. The water thus released must have been equal muttering over and over, “My ticket, yes, four years, one for three years, fourteen 1 ever keen his appetite may be, he ventures ’ ZZ 1 keep my t.cket all right.” for two years, two for one year.
