JNED’S SUGGESTION.
BY LOUIS* 8. SMITH'.
“Where did yon buy her, msimris?”
Asked three-year-old Ned of me,
As he leaned o’er the dainty cradle
His “new little sister" to see.
“An angel brought her, darling,”
I answered and he smiled,
Then softly bent his curly head,
And kissed the sleeping child.
Bnt a sudden change came over him
And he said, "If I’d been you,
While I was about it, mamma,
I’d have caught the angel, too !”
—St. Nicholas.
Master Tom’s Engagement.
Old Mr. Molyneux was immensely
proud of his position as a county mag¬
nate. He lived in a feudal castle which
he had bought cheaply, having will, taken
over at the same time the good so
to speak, of its former owner’s social in¬
fluence and dignity. In consideration of
his great wealth his neighbors charitably
ignored the fact that his father had been
a small tradesman aud that he himself
had carried on a lucrative business in
the hardware line for many years, He
was not a bad old fellow, his vulgarity
being of a subdued and inoffensive kind,
and consequently he was received in the
best county society. Bnt he aspired to
even greater distinction, for his Tom, pet pro¬
ject was to marry his only son, daugh- to
©ne of the Earl of Laburnum’s
ters. rather
Unfortunately Master Tom was
a scapegrace, and his father preferred
to let him see a little of the world before
revealing the honors that were in store
for him. The fact was that Tom showed
no predilection whatever for the Lady
Florence, and he was just of that demo¬
cratic age when a yonth is apt to under¬
rate social advantages. The old man
hoped that when Tom had had his fling
he would begin to awake to the respon¬
sibilities of his position, and be amen¬
able to reason. He knew that Tom was
raising a very respectable crop of debts,
and that before long his paternal assist¬
ance would be sought. When the crisis
arrived he intended to make known bis
wishes, and to take advantage of the
lad’s embarrassments to impose con¬
ditions.
One day, however, the young man
came down from town, where he was
ostensibly studying for the bar, and with
a very grave and determined air an¬
nounced that he was engaged to be mar¬
ried. Old Mr. Molyneux nearly had a
fit of apoplexy on the spot, and when
Tom proceeded to state living that by the carrying young
lady earned her own dressmaker the
on the business of a at
West End his horror and indignation
knew no bounds. In vain Tom pleaded
that Miss Fabian was a lady by birth
and education, and that the poverty of
her family was her only crime. His
father became more and more furious,
until Tom showed symptoms of flat re¬
bellion.
“Think of your position in the
county 1” cried old Mr. Molyneux, per¬
ceiving this and wisely making an effort
to control hito«e |f “I toll take it for

is a poor out-at-elhows devil of a clerk
in the .ty.
“By marrying the daughter of a city
clerk, who earns her living by dressmak¬
ing, you would make a misalliance.”
“Just as Lady Florence would by
marrying me,” said Tom, looking won¬
derfully innocent. talking Lady Flor¬
“Who is about
ence ?” said old Mr. Molyneux, taken
aback by this unexpected thrust.'
“Nobody—only I have an idea that
you wish me to many out of my sta¬
tion,” retorted Tom.
“I don’t wish you to marry at all, sir,
not for many a long year 1” cried the old
man, fairly nonplussed.
“What I mean is, father,” said Tom,
doggedly, “that I see no more harm in
marrying below one’s station—to use
your own term—than in marrying above
it. If one is wrong the other must be. ”
“Stuff and nonsense, sir ! You don’t
know what yon Molyneux. are talking about,” ex¬
claimed Mr. “I don’t want
to have an argument with you. The
long and short of the matter is that I
won’t hear'of this foolish engagement.
There ! It is no use talking, Let there
be an end of it, or I shall have some
thing very unpleasant to say.”
The old man bounced out of the room
as he spoke, not a little amazea at fiis
son’s tone and attitude. Hitherto Tom
had never ventured to argue with him,
partly from filial duty and partly from
inherent weakness of character. He be¬
gan to fear that the lad possessed soothed unex¬ hie
pected firmness, until he
mind by the reflection that he had prob¬
ably been carefully coached for the in¬
terview. He easily convinced himself
that Tom would never dare to disobey
him, and instead of feeling the least ap¬
prehensive of the marriage taking place
he was only uneasy lest rumors of the
engagement should reach the Laburn¬
ums. treat the
He prudently resolved to
matter as definitely disposed off, and to
make no farther allusion to it—at all
events until Tom had had time for re¬
flection. Judging from appearances,
the lad seemed completely subdued. He
spent the next few days slaughtering
pneasants in a dejected and sulky frame
of mind. His father smiled withm
himself and held his tongue, though he
showed by his manner that he did nof
intend to be trifled with. When he con¬
sidered that he might safely speak, he
said one morning with assumed careless^
ness:
“Well, mv boy, what are you going
to do?” Bailey’s
“I’m going to shoot over
farm,” replied Tom.
“Nonsense. Yon know what I am re¬
ferring to,” said the old man, turning
red. “I am speaking of this idiotic love
-affair,”
“Oh ! Well, of course, I must keep
my word,” said Tom, with flushed
cheek.
“What 1 yen have written to break it
off?” said Mr. Molyneux, feigning sur¬
prise. “No, haven’t,” Tom.
“I guv’nor, I said
hoped you would have softened by
this time.”
“And I believed yon would have re
membered that your first duty was tc
obey your father,” cried the old man
beginning to boil. “Do you mean to
tell me that yon still contemplate ?” mar
rying a—a dressmaker
“She has sold her business, father,”
said Tom, eagerly. “She might have
done better had she waited a bit, but
out of* sincere regard for your
wishes—”
“My wishes !” interrnpted Mr. Holy
nenx, angrily. “I don’t care if she car¬
ries on twenty businesses. What I say
is that you shall never marry her with
my consent. That’s all.”
“I should be very sorry to disobey
vou, father,” began Tom, gravely
“but—”
“Look here, my boy,” interrupted tho
old gentleman, quickly, speaking with
annatural calmness, “let us understand
each other. I forbid this foolish engage¬
ment, and I order you to break it off in¬
stantly. That is my bark. Now for my
bite. You leave my house within an
hour, and unless you inform me in the
course of a week that the affair is at an
end I stop supplies. If you persist ir
marrying the girl, then, by heaven ! I
will alter my will and leave every far¬
thing I possess to your Cousin Ned—in
fact, I will make him my heir and dis¬
card you altogether.”
It is doubtful whether the old man
would have really carried out this seri¬
ous threat, for he was fond of his son,
and proud of him in a way, but he
looked very determined when he uttered
it, and Tom was evidently impressed.
The lad dropped his eyes' before hii
father’s irate glance, and the ruddy color
left his cheeks for an instant.
“You know, Tom,” he added, noticing
the wholesome effect of his words, “you
are entirely dependent npou me, and un¬
less you took to poaching I don’t see
how you could possibly earn a crust. Be¬
sides, you ara up to your ears in debt.”
“I don’t owe much,” said Tom, quick
iy, with a tell-tale blush.
“You will find out that you owe a
good deal when your creditors learn
that I have made your Cousin Ted my
heir,” said the old man, enigmatically.
Tom was evidently seriously discon¬
certed by this remark. He turned on
his heel, muiterlng something about
catching the next train to town, leaving
his father master of the situation. Tho
old man considered he had gained a sig¬
nal victory, and was, therefore, not tho
least perturbed when his sou started off
to the station with his luggage, iu lit¬
eral accordance with his injunction. He
did not doubt that Master Tom would
see the folly of his ways; and, sure
enough, two days afterward the young
man reappeared looking submission. decidedly
sheepish and tendered his
He even brought a copy of the letter he
had written to the young lady, which
Mr. Molynonx thought a little too curt
and matter of fact, if any fault was to
be found with it. However, he was not
inclined to be hypercritical in this re¬
spect, and he heartily applauded Tom’s
action.
“I’m going away for a bit, guv’nor,”
said the lad, who winced a little at his
father’s boisterous good humor, and
seemed half ashamed of his conduct
<<v 7ebster and Borne other fellows have
hired a yacht, and sail for Madeira to¬
morrow. ”
“By all means, my boy,” cried Mr.
Molyneux, secretly delighted that his
son should leave England for awhile at
this juncture; “and look here, Tom,
while you are away I will settle matters
with those friends of yours.”
He produced rather a formidable list
of names and figures as he spoke, aud
Tom started with surprise, as well he
might, at perceiving how full and accu¬
rate was his father’s knowledge of his
pecuniary embarrassments. The old
man cut short his son’s confused protes¬
tations of gratitude and apology by say¬
ing. good-humoredly :
“Well, well, yon must tnm over a new
leaf, my boy. Reasonable economy
must honceforthbe the order of the day,
and I hope on your return that you will
settle down and reside permanently in
the country.”
Ho had it on the tip of his tongue to
hint that he must be prepared to marry
Lady Florence; but he wisely refrained.
Nevertheless he was as full of the project
as ever, and after Tom’s departure he
spoke to Lord Laburnum more plainly
than he had hitherto done. His lord
ship, without pledging himself, gave
him an encouraging reply; and he
resolved to bring matters to a crisis im¬
mediately upon his son’s the return. of settling The
consequence was that task
with Tom’s creditors proved quite an
agreeable relaxation, and did not cause
him a moment’s ill-humor.
Bnt he was very much startled and
disgusted on hearing that his solicitor
had been asked to accept service of a
writ on Tom’s behalf in an action for
breach of promise of marriage brought
by Miss Fabian against her faithless
lover. The news upset him consider¬
ably, for such a scandal would set all the
papers gossiping about his antecedents,
while Tom oould hardly fail to cut a
ridiculous figure in the witness box. Old
Mr. Molyneux soon arrived at the con¬
clusion that the action must be com¬
promised at any cost, for the sake of his
own dignity, not to mention the pro¬
jected alliance with the Laburnums. He
rushed up to town in quite a frantic
state, and disregarding the advice and
protestations of his solicitor, insisted
that Miss Fabian’s claim should be set
tied forthwith at any sacrifice, in order
to avert the danger of the affair finding
its way into the papers.
He was successful in his main object,
bnt rich man though he was, he almost
groaned when he sat down to write the
check that Miss Fabian’s advisers de
manded. The amount was represented
bv no less than five figures, and the
worst of it all was that he got no sym
pathy whatever from his own solicitor,
who declared that by going to law, or
even holding out, he might have saved
the greater part of the money.
In spite of the great relief that the
threatened scandal had been averted,
old Mr. Molyneux soon began and to regret
the sacrifioe he had made to fret
about his enormous loss. He was not
by any means a penurious man, but, like
all parvenus, he appreciated the value
of money. He did not mind what he
spent so long as he had something to
show for his outlay; but in this instanoe
the result attained was entirely negative.
; Everyone is inclined to underrate a
danger when it has passed, and Mr.
Molyneux could not help frightened, suspecting
that he had been too early

said to his son when he had finished.
Tom, in his (urn aroazod and bewil¬

hearing of my son’s return, that you
have other views with regard perhaps, to your

to have mentioned that my son has been

place immediately. Yours faithfully,

“Oh! father. It is awfully good of

set with diamonds at her slender waist.
Then by and by she wore the belt around
her head, for “a lustrous diadem.”
Then she wore it around tier neck, a
necklace with “its roseate diamonds set
anew. ” Then she wore it for a bracelet,
and at last “the jewel glittering to tho

most terrible pain in my back, limbs, and
head, and could find no rest day or night for
weeks, and I was growing weaker daily until
this kind physician ordered me to tako Hunt’s
Remedy. Before taking half of oue bottle 1
commenced to improve, and after taking six
bottles was entirely cured. This was nearly
eight years ago, and I have had no return of
