MR*. ItARDCASTLE'8 OPINIONS.
The housemaid understood her business.
Without waiting for the word of command,
A* let In the light once snore,'and the whole
party taw each other standing motionless
like the sleepers yet unawakened. The mys
terious interlude of the chanting figure with
the dreamy child pneinr across the dark
ball had petrified all. The majestic old-fe
male Mood upon her flight at steps; the bus-
hand held his wife's hand; the doctor stood
with one hand under hi* coat-tail; nnd-tho
soldier leaned against .he high oak table,
Juit as when Vanity stoic across in the dark.
"Maud,” the husband said, breaking the
silence, "what docs ell this mean f
"Surely you understandP she exclaimed.
"That brave w oman I”
"Is she going to nurse little Maud, thenP
"She is. Such courage I never knew.”
“But, Maud,’’ her husband sold, "will
y«i explain! Why did she put on your
gowilT’
"Really, Augustus, yon are stupid! Don't
you w?l Little Maui thinks I mu with lier,
and going to stay with her. But
such a clever girl! I really thought it
was myself singing. She asked me, ‘Have
you ouy little thing yon sing to the child I*
So I sung lior n verso of 'Now the day is
over.’ Thu versos, the music, the very tone
of my voice, she caught on the instant And
then she went in to baby—in t-ho dark—and
took her up, singing all the sgiile; and baby
put her little head against tier shoulder, and
was quite soothed and still.”
The mother's tears fell as sha spoke, and
the husband w as moved himself.
“What a bravo art!" l,o said. “I should
have thought a woman would as coon have
walked into Nelmchodnezzar s furnace.”
"With that face, too!" tho soldier re
marked again. “That's where it is, you see.
With that facx—”
“1 wonder at you, Tom Pembroke,” the old
Indy called out. “As if outward apiiearanco
was everything.”
"1 really lie; your pardon,” the soldier im
plied, nbo-'hod once more. "It i9 only my
way of putting it, you know.”
“Tom Is right.” the husband said, speak
ing like the master of tho house. "A poor
girl, who has nothing in tho world to look to
except her face ”
"And such a facer tho irrepressible soldier
criod-oot unguardedly. “There’s the point
at the thing."
“Tom Pembroke," screamed out the old
lady, “don’t interrupt! 1 can’t hear what
Augustus is trying lo say.”
“It is simply this,' Mrs. Honlc-astle,” the
master of the house continued, showing some
wans signs of severity; “Ihnt for a poor and
lovely girl—for a lovely girl she is—te^-isk
her beauty for the sako of a sick child is real
heroism!”
This good-humored gentleman had a way
of saying things which cowed ill-natured
proole; uud the old lady made no he joinder,
hut the soldier glanced rebolliously at his
adversary.
“I feel rebuked, Maud," the husband went
on, secretly caressing thefiiand of his hand
some wife. “Noteven for IglJe Maudy’s sako
could 1 have risked your—” beanl>/, he was
going to say. Prudently he paused, and
altered the word—’’riskodyour—life.”
Maud responded to his cniess; for although
the mother was displeased, the wife forgave
him.
“I shall never forget wbat the girl has
done," Augustus said. “And if she were to
catch the smallpox, and her face were spoilt,
1 should never forgive myself.”
"llo more should l!” the soldier called
out. TNever!"
"Really, Mr. Perobroko,” the old Indy said
loftily, "will you be good enough not to be
too absurd! Providence did not expect you
to nurse the child.”
“I didn’t say so,” Tom Pembroko answered,
really airaid of this grim reprover. "But,
you see— well, you see, I stood by while it
was done.”
“Tom is right,” his brother-in-law said
again. He was getting restive under the
oil lady's ill-nature. “He was willing that
hhc sister should run tho risk. -Maud was
willing. It was I who held back I”
"Just so!” Tom -Pembroke cried, greatly
encouraged. “That is what I meant to say.
Go cm, Augestiis.”
"So I feel," Augustus continued gravely,
"that 1 must take the whole responsibility
of the young woman's future upon myself ”
“Not the whole of it, A ugns.tns!” the soldier
called out earnestly. 1 ought to help you.
Share and share alike, you know. No, I
don't exactly mean that; but really, old fol
low, I coulcTnot lot it all come on you, you
know."
Tom Pembroke said this with most per
fect seriousness and great energy.
“Listen, Tom," his brotber-in-law re-
marked- "if that girl were to pay the price
of her bravery with her face, I don’t see
what I could do for her. It would ne on
awful result of so gallant n deed. If that
happened ”
“If that happened.” Tern Pembroke cTiod,
interrupting with great excitement, “if her
face were spoiled ■”
I “Just what I say,” the other continued;
“it her face were spoiled ”
“It would not lie your business, Augustus.
A* you say, you ronld do nothing for her.
]u that case, sooner than she should die of a
broken heart,'1—1—would marry hor my
self.”
Daring this dialogue the old lady had
looked from one faoo to another, waiting for
an ojiportunity strike. At this word from
poor Torn Pembroke her countenance grew
dark with moral thunder.
“"While we stand-talking here,” she called
cat, "that Complaint”—here sfio pointed to
the closed doors of the sick chamber—“may
comedown those stairs”—next she pointed
nt the etoirs, as if she were giving directions
to the Complaint— “ami take some of us into
eternity."
Not a thought about the little sick child
upon whom Death seemed to have laid his
hand; not a thought about the brave young
woman who had taken the poisoned frame
to her own breast. As long as the Complaint
stayed up-stairs all was wifil; but as the idea
of Ha descent cams to hor mind sho retreated
as precipitately though the specter of
tUeeara were viably walking toward hereelf,
and she flew into her room and shut her door
with a terrific crash.
CHAPTER IX.
VAN ITT IS ALONK WITH TEMPTATION.
Vanity wo* alone in the darkened sick
room. Her little charge was satisfied with
the low song of “Now the day is over;” and
as often os the small, sick voice plainted csit
its "Mamma," the reply of a chantod versa
asm red* the little sufferer that her best con
soler was at hand.
The child sunk to sleep, and the doctor
left the room. Then Vanity began to realise
what she had done. All her life she had fait
that dread of smallpox which every woman
most, bat which is becoming less familiar as
tfiat pestilence retreats before the firm bond
of science. Poor Vanity! sbo was bniiaod
and si meat heartbroken by her late misfor
tune*, and she still ached with the long, dull
pong of >7illle Snow’s faithlessness. In this
forlorn state die woe alive to kindness, and
d» felt greatly touched by the kindnera of
her new friend Maud Neville. When she
saw the mother distracted’with grief, and
forbidden to comfort her darling, Vanity at
once formed her resolution. Perhaps her
(toga experience Qiggc.s-ted.the idea of per
sonating the mother; certainly her skill in
anting helped her to cany out the device.

But the generous glow died oat, as all
emotion will. Now, in the dark room. Van
ity had time to think what the bad under
taken; and, it must be coofeamd, die began
to feel afraid. For a time she thought of
relinquishing her charge,-and allowing the
none to take her place, now that the sick
cbfld had been safely removed to Its room;
bat several considerations, which need not

course, and these wen re-enfareed by the

grim danger that lay crouching behind.
On the whole she was calm. Now, upon
the subsidence at the terrible excitement of

be with the insipid caresses of Nancy. In
her dark chamber Vanity’s heart began to
beat at its old dangerous pace.
In this darkened room of eicknees, with
peril at hand. Vanity Hardware talked tbm
with herself:
“I have exposed myself to fearful danger-

Nancy Snow, beware! You stole my lover
from me. I shall repay you. I know my

1 sobbed and raved and cried!”
“If 1 am not to make Willie my own—why,

me be struck down; tat if I come forth
hours '-.hurt, then I shall treat my life as
my own. Willie! Willie! by your weak

It was most *singul*r, however, that ,hs
did not give any thought to the possibility
that her life might be spared, while her
beauty was destroyed. Yet If that happened,
she would be an enchantress no more, and
cold Nancy would bo the victor forever.
CHAPTER X.
MRS. HARD CASTLE LOS tS Til* TRICK.
Time went by. The attack of smallpox
was not severe, and the child soon began to
fiend. -Maud Neville several tivnsa tned to
persuade Vanity that her presence with tto
little girl was no longer needed, and urged
her to leave; tat Vanity was resolved tore-
nrnfm In tho dark room the still played her
part of mother, and the child would never
be still unices her “mother” was at
Besides, Vanity reasoned that she would run
no greater risk by remaining than she L-d
already incurred; for the disease would either
never attack her or she must be already in
fected, To these considerations was added
her strange fatalistic idea, that If she died
through this daring act it would be well;
tat if she escaped, she could henceforth litb
after her own fashion. Generous humanity
and true courage had brought her into this
infected room; but a new strange motive
kepi her there in a sort of fascinated state.
Sometimes she wished for death and the end
of nil; at other times her heart beat with
Willi thoughts; but even amidst the wild
thoughts there was a certain relief in think
ing that oeuth might interpose, and vnalta
the consummation which she at onoe desired
and ilreadod an impossibility forever.
Mcaufrhile she grew fond of her little
charge. The child was the most patient of
sufferers; would whisper “Thank yon,
mamma," withp grace and prottincss, every
time she was tended; would ask «“mother” to
sing, and would pipe in a few notes here and
there, stopping with a sigh, and murmuring
that she was tired; then toe would lie with
her tiny wasted hand in "mother’s,” quite
content, lying on the brink of the grave
with the serene unconsciousness of childhood.
Vanity began to feel a new affectibn in heir
breast, a tenderness for this little child.
All this time Mrs. ITardcastle drove over
daily in her great carriage and pair, and
made kind inquiries. The conduct ot 'this
inestimable lady showed that toe had boon
duly endowed by nature with the instinct at
.elf-preservation. Her habit whs to drive to
the borders of the ground, having first ob
served the quarter of the wind; for to m«ir t
things sure, and acting on her cherished
axiom that Providence helps those that help
themselves, she had ler weathercock
specially repsSred for the crisis. Thus,
having pulled her carriage np something
like a quarter of a mile from the boose,
the thoughtful dame would select some young
child returning from the jiarith school, and
would give the creature a penny to go right
up to the house and say that Mrs. Hardcaitie
was waiting. Hereupon some of ths family
would repair to the spot, and begin a coo ver
nation over the heige which Induced tbs
grounds. At sight of this deputation Mra
Hardcaatlo would stand np In her carriage
and bring out a small watoringppot filled
with the strongest vinegar, and with this en
gine she would describe an aromatic semi
circle around herself, remarking invariably
that It was our.duty to use the means. By
tlie t line she hail delivered herself of these
valuable sentiments there was generally a
quart or two of vinegar on;the high-road,
mid tho very horses were medxing.
Then Mrs. Hardcastls would begin:
"Hew is the child f’
Usually the child was going on nicely.
Here the old lady would remark that this
was satisfactory, as far as it went Then
came question number Two: ;
"Has the Complaint caught the young per
son yeti”
No; the young person maintained her or
dinary health. •
At this the old lady would remark that
there was considerable time left yet, and she
would pass on to question three:
“Has the Complaint come down atairsr
No; the Complaint had not edmo down
stairs.
The old lady would look as if this were
somewhat unaccountable behavior on the
part of the Complaint, and after musing she
would put quogion four." If Mm Neville
happened to bathe deputation, the question
took this form:
"Maud I you are not going to remain in
that house f ;
'Yes," Maud would say, “ttorrf is really
no danger.” ;
“Maud.” the old lady wonld reply, in great
iger, “yon were always reckless—ever
since yon were four years old."
On one point the old lady was very press
ing, so much that this seemed the prune mo
tive which induced her to expose her -person
to such risk.
“Is Tom staying an with yooT
"Yes,’’ Hand would reply. “He is not
afraid.”

After racking my brain in scare!or for another
remedv more efficacious, I thought of tfwtit 1

iauily a blood purifier and why should it not

last July to Atlanta for a supply.
1 began the treatment with 4 oa ol 8. 8. 8. and _

week.Then I increased the doee to 6 oa of each
and continued for a week* Then A incra-cd to 80s

week the horse had a fair apnetite which he
hsd not had since his sickness. At the end
of the second week even greater Improvement
was apparent for many of the tores were healing
nicely, and the horse manifested a desire to move
abou^. At Ue end of the third week he began to
gain in flash, and had full appetite. The swelling

of Swift’s Specific, and when I quit the use only
lour small sores remained and they healed np
Immediately.
In Auguyt last all symptoms of the dlsearn pass

the trouble have made their appearance and the
horse has done a mule's wark on my farm.

How the Father of John Wise Took Water
in Congress.
Dr. Alexander A. Duncan, n dem
ocrat who represented the Hamil
ton district of Ohio, in the extra
session called by President Van Bo
ren after his inauguration, says Ben
Pen Perley Poore in the Boston
Budget, had been much disturbed
by the denunciations and phillippics
of Henry A. Wise, who then repre
sented the Accomac district of Vir
ginia. During the recess hedelib*
efatelv made up his mind that he
would resent any further political
attacks on the; democratic party by
Wise, and it wag not ldhg after ses
sion commenced in December be-
fore be had an opportunity. Mr.
Wiue made one of ^nia. characteristic
speeches and Dr. Duncan took the
floor to reply.
After correcting some errors
which had been made by Mr. Reed,
of Massachusetts, Mr. Duncan paid
hia respects to Mr. Wise who had
said that certain statements were
false, and showed that they were
true, “and ao,” said he, “I throw
back the charge of falsehood upon
the member from Virginia.”
Throughout hit whole speech,
Mr. Duncan spoke of Mr. Wise only
as the “member.” He would not
call him, as is usual in congress, the
“gentleman from Virginia, because
he did not beKeveMr. Wise merited
the term, and being in his opinion
no gentleman,he^would not call him
to. Again I quote from the speech:
“The member pronounces the
president a vile demagogue. I have
heard this member before denounce
the president and all his friends as
knaves and fools. * * * Mr.
Chairman, I think there can be no
better evidence that a man is a vile
demagogue himself, than to hear
him perpetually denouncing states
men and politicians, without dts
crimination, as ‘vile demagogues,’
‘knaves,’ and ‘fools,’ because they
are opposed to him in politics."
The extract which followed it was
the discharge of artillery, with grape
and cannister, that not only routed
tlie enemy, but drove him from the
Held in confusion. Standing in his
place,and where he could have a full
view of Mr. Wise, he said:
• “But the member calls names. He
has denounced the whole democrat
ic party with a bitterness and a vin
dictiveness 1 hope unworthy of his
heart, as Loco Focos. I am (said
Mr. DJ unacquainted with the term
Loco Focos;it is ofa tongue unknown
to me. If the term is political in its
significance, and is expressive of a
love of liberty, a regard for the sup
port and literal construction of the
constitution, a disposition to support
our free institutions,and an unyield
ing hostility to a national bank, to
odious political distinctiona, uncon
stitutional monopolies and exclusive
and dangerous privileges for the
benefit of the few at the expense of
the many, them I am a Loco Foco,
and I am proud of the name; and I
hopel snail never abase it or disgrace
it. But I am now going to tell you,
(said Mr. Duncan, advancing toward
Wise,) another thing I dare do—I
dare pronounce any man, on this
floor or elsewhere, a base liar and a
reckless scoundrel, who dares to
denounce me as a Loco Foco and
attach any other political meaning
than that which I have just describ
ed.”
To picture the scene when these
words fell upon the ears of members
would require an abler pen than
mine. Astonishment during the
delivery of the first part of the
speech was the prevailing feeling;
and as the orator proceeded, his
voice increasing in volume as be
spoke, friends and enemies alike
rose to their feet, expecting a con
flict on the floor. Mr. Wise’s coun
tenance, alternately pale and red,
was narrowly watched, and as Dun
can fairly hissed in| his ears those
words which, according to the code
ot honor, could only be atoned tor
by blood, he sat for a moment as if
stupefied, and then left the hall. The
intimate friends of Wise met that
night in consultation. They had
learned that Duncan was a practiced
shot; at thirty paces with a pistol
his aim was equally fatal; with
bi oadsword he was, perhaps, the
best in the city; and with all these
weapons he was in full practice.
As the party challenged he had the
choice of weapons, and this would
g.ve him an advantage. The high
est authorities among the duelists in
Washington were consulted by
Wise's t Mends', and they decided
that, as the insult was words spoken
in debate, Mr. Wise might well re
fuse to notice them by a challenge.
Finally he was forced to yield, and
no challenge was sent; but from
thitday a marked change was
observable. He mingled but little
in debate, and when he did his
speeches had lost their personalities
and their bitterness.
