THE ARISTOCRACY OF HEAVEN. BT ELIZABETH BAKER BOHAN, 'i he tin* Iona hunrdinu nnj,*ol of tho gnte To wiiic-ij the miskncklml 8]>lrita came from earth, With Honlful features lit with love for thoso Whom dreadful death lmd Riven oteninl birth, Stood watching all the throng, whoso earthly traits Btlll clung unto tlicir shades at heaven’s gates. His gentle faeo grow sad ns ho behold One walking all alone with pompous tread ; A look of pride Upon liis high-born fare, While love ai.d poaoe marked all the common dead. He asked Nt. Tetor: "Pray, sir, tell wo wlioro Heaven is. for I'm a innny millionaire.” The angel smiled not, but he led tho way Ami planed tho spirit just within tho door. •This is the rich man's heaven, sir," ho said, “Hero never were or will ho any poor." The rich man looked about and’ saw his gold— Millions of m uiey hrirht nnd wealth untold. A moment s rnpturo tilled his hoait and then To speak with other shades ho thought lio’J deign: “For, if tins Is tho rich man’s home,” ho said, •All who are hero are on an equal plane,’' But m In* wandered down the jew. led »troot, No friendly smile of welcome did ho incot. At last his liHUghty gnu I grew < hill withiu, For everything ho saw above, below, Was brazen gold ; and clad in raiment fine Walked spirits, terror-stricken, to and Iro. "Tell me 1 1 lie shouted out ill agony, • Wlioro Is the mighty (b>d I camo to see?” And then they answered him in chorus loud, With wrathful moans, and many a hitter tear: •And didst thou think, thou proud and haughty mon, Thou wouldst find the lowly Savior hero? Ob, never did Ills smile light up this place I Ob, never shall we see His glorious face I For God is * lu*ro the llitle children plnv; Whero poor mon rest, and sing bright hours away: Where tin d mothers come to meet their babes, Wh ere soldiers coino from battles whore they fell; Whore herres moot and lovo through countless days ; Where all the 'pure In heart’ liavo como to dwell. . » up ahe ’Mid happy little c Tho King of Hen love, While joyous music sounds through thoso fail bowers Hot off apart, amidst these heaps of gold, We strain our longing ears again, again : And then, far oil and dr am-liko lioateth dowo Tho e cho of a most angelic strain. We weep and weep until our eyes aro dim; But this Is all wo e'or can know of Him.” No longer proud, the rich man bent bis bond And with a moan he joined tho hopeless dead.

CHAPTER XXIII.—continued That evening, ns no left his home, ho i changed his intended course to Mabel's I now homo, nnd Went first instead to the ! bunk. Ho lmd decided to secure certain papers I he wishod to show to Mabol, to indicate craftily how deeply ho was concerned in i her fnihor's estate. Tho hall was dark as ho reached the bank | building, and ho groped his way to tho j door of tho private ollioo. llo started slightly as ho half stiimblod over a tiguro apparently crouched at its very threshold. “Who nro you? What nro you doing hero?" ho demanded angrily and suspi ciously. Tho other sloncbodaway roluota.itly, and mumbled some unintelligible words. "llo off, or I'll call tho wat,liman," or dered Vance grufily, as ho utilookod tho door. vonoo, crushed, mnguetizod, spoke not a word, but snt motionless ns a statue under tho direful menace of thoso torriblo eyes. “After tifieen years,” pursued Wynne, b’.ow y, “I ntlain tho ehovished object of my life- to st-ind /nee to face with you. Von nro rich, honored, successful. 1 poor, miserable, ragged. Vet you nro tho sup pliant and victim now; for beforo I lenvo ibis room you must answer to mo for your many crimes, and then to justice." Somo quick impulse of boldness nnd safety moved Vnnco to break tlie spoil of the intruder's words and arise to his feet. “Kit down! Dudley Vnnco, I oomo^iore armed, revengeful, desperate. Do not urgo me to I ill you, for mv past wrongs impel mo to swift and torriblo justice.” Vnnco sank into tho chair again, while Wynne continued: “1 will not drivo myself frantic by re counting nil the past; you only too well know i;s infamy. You field my darling chtldron from tho bodsido of their dying mother, you imprisoned mo, and drovo mo to insanity. You enjoy tho fortune right fully belonging to my children. For all th it I care not. I have only ono demand to make of you bowaro how yon attempt to deaciro or escape me. Dudley Vnuoo, whero are tho liny and tho girl you slolo from my wifo's (hath bod fiftoen years ngo?" llis hnud seemed to clutch a weapon in his breast as ho spoke; a wild, m inincal light glittered in liis eyes ns ho awaited a reply. “I do not know." "A lie! You cannot doeoivo me. Think twico oro you withhold from mo the infor mation 1 most havo. Your lifo or their res toration. Take your choice.” llo was doiporatoly in oarnest, a glance to’d Vnnco that. "It is no lio," lin repeated, in ohoked, frightened tones. “I do uot kuow." “You killed them thou?" "I did not.” “You can traco them down?" “I cannot." "Why?" thunderod Wyuno, fonrfully ex cited. "Decauso tho man who slolo them, not I, gave ilium in charge of a man I do not know." "Then yon must find him.” “Ho is dead.” A cry like the angered groan ofn wounded lion brolto from Hubert Wynne's lips. Homo emotion of longing lovo nnd mom- orv obscured liis wild rngo temporarily. Ho bout liis bond ill bitter sorrow. A sob rent liis tins. “They shall bo found. Step by slop you shall lend tno back through tho labyrinth of your schemes. Y'ou shall restore me rny children or dio." Tho wily Hclromer started, nnd a quick hope camo into liis mind. Moidtanioally lie lmd oponod with his hand a drawer in the desk bofore him. As Iro glanced down ho saw thore plainly revealed within liis oa»y grasp a revolver. Stoalthily his hand groped toward it grasped it, drew it upward. “Thore is your answer." Ho shouted tho words in fiendish triumph ns ho leveled tho Weapon direct at tho head of liis visitor. Thore was u metallic snap, that was all, and Wynne stood unharmed before hint. “Confusion! unloaded!" criod Vance. “And this your answer," entire delibor- ntolv from tho lips of tho intruder as lie extended his own weapon. “No! I will not nntieipnto the law. Its terrors shall wring your guilty secret from your lips. Obey too if you are wise. Dudley Vntico, follow mo at once from this place." “Whore?" “Whither I will. To tho police, if I choose, Hewnre! 1 nra a desperate man." He held tho revolver, n perpetual monace to liis foe, within easy poise. “Would you murder mo?" cried Vntico. “You sought to kill me." “You dire not invito tho gallows.” “Dare I not?" laughed tho other, harshly nnd recklessly. "Fife is naught to me if you suffer retribution, lie sides, tho law acquits a madman, and I havo been insane for fifteen years." A nameless chill of dread and peril ovor- entno Vance at this man's te.nble calm ness nnd persistency. llo dared not resist his commands, and arose to his feet without another word. A last gleam of hope ca mo into his mind as its crafty methods cum to his relief. If ho could only overpower his foe, dis- den determination ho read immediate dis aster to ids evorv plan. “Miss Elliott, ’ ho liastenod to say, “ynm decision alarms and amazes tne, I lmd never imagined you would leave the city ni present. Your fnthcr, I nm positive, shared my thoughts when ho made mo yout guardian. ” Mabel’s faeo turned very pn!o. "My guardian?” she stammered. "Yes, Miss Elliott." “And this is your house?” “It is—yours in n sense. This is an ex- oeodiugly painful matter, and might he do- ferred until you are better." "No, I wish to know all now." “Then, I tuny tell you that it was yom fnthor's expressed wish thnt you remain under my guardianship until you aro twen ty-olio years of age." Ho wont on to sponk of tho bank, of the necessity of its interest.! being solidified nnd protected, vaguely hinting that Giulia Elliott's defalcations lmd seriously nffoctod its credit. He falsely told her Dint tho detectives lmd found Giulio, but, to avoid scandal, ho (Yanco) had decided not to prosecute him. llo played Iiih false, craven part well; lie grew eloquent ns he recounted his friend ship for her father; he watched her eagerly as ho spoke of a lifo abroad, of a change of scene, out ho must accompany her. Ho saw that even amid her despair sho grow interested in his well-worded story. Tho impulso came, ho could not resist ft, to sjnaik again of his lovo, (TO BE CONTINUED.)

A friond called to boo him nnd said to Iris wife: "I was surprised to hear of your hus band's siokncHH—I thought ho was re markably strong and healthy." “Yos, John was always very healthy, but ho got so discouraged at last that it jes' made him sick.” "But ho was always of such a cheer ful nnd buoyant disposition, I never e\- proted to sco him give up this way.” "Yes, Joint was always mighty gritty. When the barn burnt up an' killed tho *ow team ho never said a work, but jes' brnood up an’ built another barn an’ got another team.” “Yes, I remember he did." "Then when tho ltouso burnt ho didn't complain n bit, but went to living in a tent jes' ns cheerful." “I know it.” “When tho farm was sold on n mort gage an’ tho children wore all took sick, John kop’ right up as happy as ever.” “Y'es, that's so."

He lit the gas over his dock, nnd wont to n oabiuot to securo tho papers he had como for. Atthnt moment stealthy footsteps sound ed in tho ante-room. Tho next, the door wns shmiuod vio lently to. Vnnco turned in somo alarm. Inside tho room, in front of tho door just closed, stood a man. He was old nml gray, and his enrworn faeo, ragged nltiro, and wild, haunlod eyes sent a koeu, indefinable thrill through Vnnco's framo. Apparently ho wns the loungor of tho hall, and ns lie removed his hat his attitude to Vance scorned tint of a mendicant. "Wbnt do you want? Hmv (U « you in trude here ? " lie or ed in rising anger. “I want to fi d Mr. Dndley Vance." Tho banker stilted at tho stranger's bold fnmi iir uso of bis name. “What do you want of him?” ho asked suspiciously. Tho Rtrnnger stared fixedly at Vance. "Aro you lie?" ho demanded. “Yo.r need not answer. I kuow you aro." Vnnco faced the intruder squarely now. Something in tho stringer's manner and tone impressed tho former that liis visit was uot n friendly ono. “Suppose 1 am, what do you want?" ho asked sharply. "Oh, I know you are,” replied tho in truder in a strango, dreamy voice. “Dud ley Vnnco, it is nearly fifteen years since you nud I Inst met." “Fifteen years," repeat d Vn co, me chanically. “I do not remember you." Tho words catno slowly; liis face became steadily pale. A vague premonition of peril, a (lectin /, indefinite memory of liis dark pa«t recur ring to his mind, mule him tremble de spite himself. “Look again?" cried tho stranger, h s eyes Ikv king, his face bent full up m tho now cowering Vance, “liavo your victims in the past been so numerous that you cautrot place me; for 1 am ono of them, your persecuted, defrauded victim, and now your most ro'eutless foe." Iteeoiliug step by st"p. Dudley Vnnco reached the desk and leaned on the back of A chair for sunuort. Ho rallied liis latent dignity, but it was a failure. “Explain your business or loavo hero.’’ he ordered sternly. “Not till I hive spoken what I have como to say. Again 1 ask you do you know me?" “No, i do not.” “It is false, for your craven five lie trays von.

FBOH THE HEA!l. “Merciful heavens!—llobort Wynne." If Dudley Vnuoo lord known beforo Un de t tv of h:« sUnnir* visitor, it was not until his dramatic announcement that ho ^ realized fully the significance of that name j tho"fiousekeoiior. 3 pronounced by its possessor. With a blauohed face, trembling in every limb, he sank to a chair. Crouching, cowering there, liis glance was still hold in mute fascination by tho fixed, unwavering power of tho eyoB of tho other. “Ay!” cried tho stranger, in thrilling tones, “Robert Wynne, the man who wed ded your uncle’s daughter, my poor dead wife, murdered by your falsehoods and persecutions. You know mo now. You cau realize what mv coming here means for yon nnd nil your evil plots." The stranger seemed convulsed with tire wildest emotion, yet he subdued it with a powerful effort. to pit his wealth against any Btory his iu- snno mind might tell. Personal v olenco nlouo ho feared, nnd this ho Beamed powerless to rcsiBt. Still, as tho ojlrer made a movement ns if to leave the room, Vance noted on iho impulse to attempt .to defeat him in his plans. lie suddenly sprang forward. Tho other, anticipate I th - movement, nnd raised liis revolver. Ynuee struck up liis arm and tho weapon was Hung clear across tlie room. 11 went crushing through the plate-glass window, nml into the street without. It was ilreii that Yanco lifted his voice in tlie wildest alarm: "Help! thieves! help!" His lone rang forth loud nnd echoing through the building, nnd penetrated to the street itself. With the fury of a madman Robert Wynne firing himself upon the b inker. Not, however, beforo Vnuce had extin guished tho light. There was a collision, and thou a torriblo struggle in the dark. The enbinet wns overturned, and its panels scattered over tho room. Then excited voices and hurried foot- stops wore hoard in the bull, a id the door of tho ante-room burst open. The watchman, a policeman, and several passers-by came upon tho sccno. A light revealed Yanco and Wynne bruised and blooding, and tho room in terrili’o confusion. “What is it—are you injured, Mr. Vance?” asked the watchman, anxiously. “Ho sought to murder me. Arrest that man. I detected lnm hr ’irking open yon der cabinet, nnd he tried to kill me.” The policeman had torn tho two combat ants apart. Wynne, rav.ng liko u madman, attempted to reach Yanco agniu. Tlie officer paid no attention to his inco herent accusation cf villa u.v ngainst tho b inker. Whit was this ragged criminal's claim again-t the word of the wealthy and re spected b inker. Fighting liko a tiger, ho was carried by main force to tho nearest police station, and filing into ir cell as a ei lnmoa burglar. Dudley Vance ordered the watchman to close tho rooms, and li niseif repaired to his home again. The hour for liis appointment with Mabel Elliott had passed, hi" ho rearranged his disordered attire, and was soon on his way j to the house where she was. lie was disturbed and anxious over the 1 now complication in the case can ed by tho j return of Hob rt Wynne, but lie do er- j mined that it should not interfere with his j prearranged plnus. Instead, i*. would only serve to hasten ( their accomplishment. He th. ori ed thnt money could soon dispose of Wynne; if ■ uot in a prison, at least in an asylum. “Who will believe h s insane story, ' sold- j oquized Yanco, “even if he is allowed to relate it in court? My careful management of tho Wynne estate wi.l prove ray honesty of purpose and refute his claims. I will meet the trouble when it comes. For the present, Mabol Elliott and tlie fortune must be my theme of thought and action." He wns admitted to Mabel’s presence by Wilson, and thrilled to quick delight as Mibol graciously ex- i tended her hand. Bho wns w^fully sad nnd pnl ■, but bad ; never looked more lovely c him. “I lmvo sent for you.

Ho wns sitting in his ofilco ono dirv a few montlisago when two men entered with n design they wanted made of steel. He took the job and turned it out according to order. The men came j tho next day, and after chatting pleim- antly about the boodle aldermen and j other matters of popular interest, in tho j city, paid tlioiv bill and went away, i Several other designs were brought him ! by the two men, and ho got to know them quite well. He did not learn their business, however; but it is such a com mon tiling to deal with men whom one knows only by sight that Mr. Jennings never bothered bin liend about it. But he fouud out who the men were after till. One day they culled to have him make half n dozen eight inch steel screws. He promised them for fi o'clock, but tno men did not come. He did not see them the next day or the next. On the third day one of Pinkerton's detectives drop ped in upon him in thonfternoon curry ing a liaudsachel. Ho opened it and threw a lot of curiously shaped pieces of stoel on the table. "Were thoso made in your shop, Mr. Jennings ?” casunlly remarked tlie de tective. “Yos, that's our work.” “Who did you make them for?” “Now you’ve got me—-it’s more than I can tell. I never had any reason to inquire, and the men didn’t bother about tolling me.” “But you nro sure you made that steel work hero ?” “Yes, oh yes; I’m sure enough of that.” Two days later Mr. Jennings wns sub poenaed by the prosecution us a witness ngainst two men who hud attempted to crack the safe in n bank in Ellenviile, Ulster county. He met a Harlem ma chinist and nn ironworker from down town at tho court house in Kingston. Pinkerton’s men opened wide their eyes when he took the pieces of steel that each had shaped, nnd, putting tlu-m to gether, showed wliat a perfect sectional jimmy they made, Marl hit's Grave in the Woods. The Savannah Mem snys: Down in Houston county there is an ancient vil lage called Old Wilner. It was once the oounty site of the county. While it was in its most prosperous days there was a big school there, and there came a teacher from the North to take charge of tho academy. His mime wns Moore. During his residence then ’ o lost liis wife, whom he loved very dearly. Ho had her buried in the old burying ground of Wilner, and out of bis mea gre funds he erected a marble tomb stone nt. the head of her grave. As it was located in tho wild wood, as ceme teries generally were then, it was a fav orite hunting ground for the juvenile population. Thus it came about tlmt the half obliterated epitaph appears to day, cut deep in the mossy stone: “Boys, Don’t Shoot Birds Around Mar tha's Grave."

Uf course tlie vast army of men engaged, in one wny or another in thoso cntcipiises, were bull to believe tliolr views either extravagant or untenable. Doth they and Depew are right to a certain extent. Land values have rapidly nml perma nently increased in this country in tlio last fifty years. This is especially noticeable in tlie" jumping " west, along the lines of new railroads. Thousands of new cities havo sprung up. with a growth perfectly astonishing, nnd great fortunes have been made in real es tate. band values must continue to Increase generally, because tlie available area of land in the country Is now so small as to render Inevitable its entire absorption in u few years. One hundred years from now, nt the pres ent rate of increase, our population will lie (00 to tlio square mile—twice ns many ns in tho largest European nations.

A I,lute lllogrnphy With nn Antiquo Flavor nml a Smack ol’tlio Hen. [From tho Chicago Times.] "Thoro wero n lot of splendid ship masters just passing off tiro stage when I was a boy,” says a Nantucket man. “I must say they seemed to me in char acter, enterprise and lofty demeanor fully equal to nil I had heard related of their daring and enterprise. “Tlio greatest family of island ship masters wns tlio Wests. They were de scended in part from the noblo Ichnbod Paddock, who removed to Nantucket Into in 1000, by invitation, to tench tho people how to catch wlmles. Charles West married n descendant of this great whaleman. They hail a son Stephen, who was master of a ship as early as 1802. Stephen was ouo of the most suc cessful of our shipmasters. Ho wns a bosom friend of tlio great merchant, Jacob Barker; they were hoys together; in fact, Jnoob 1ms told mo that Cupt. West gave him his first start in lifo. I saw tho former in 1850, in his eighty- fifth year, nt the captain’s death-bed, asking him what he could do for him in such a tender, pathetic spirit thnt I for- gnvo Mr. Barker all lie lind omitted to do for his friend in life. In 1790 Cnpt, West commenced his career ns n South Sen whale fisherman, and continued in it until 1798, when the French troubles compelled its suspension. In 1800, how ever, he was away as first lieutenant of Iho Oneida, a twenty-gun ship, hound on u voyage to Chinn, via Capo Horn and tho Marquesas Islands, where sho expected to lay in her cargo of seal skins. The Oneida was absent seven teen months, and returned with a rich eargo of teas, silks nnd nankeens, so profitable that it wns talked of in the counting-rooms of all our ports. Whaling was just thou reviving. Tho ship John Jay, then in the China trade, wns purelmsed, nnd Mr. West went out in her ns first officer on a voyage fi) Bra zil Banks. On his return Hetli Russel & Sons, of New Ib'dford, offered him command of tho Dolphin, in which lie sailed on a whaling voyage to tho South Sens. Sho registered but 130 tons nnd was probably tho smallest vessel that ever-sailed on such a voyage. Well out on the whaling grounds the young Clap- tain discovered that tho vessel was leak ing and wns also very defective in her upper works. He put her into Delgon Buy, on the coast of Africa, where lie found a number of bis townsmen in command of English, French arid American ships, lie called to his nid tho carpenters and smiths of these ships, went into tho woods nml cut timbers, repaired his ship and rofasteued her throughout. Then they went for a cruise off tho Cape of Good Hope, fell in with schools of wlmles, filled the ship in six weeks nnd were homo full, tho first ship of the season. Cnpt. West’s reputation was now assured. In tlio ship Mill'!bh he made two voyages to the Brazil Banks and lo Patagonia, tak ing upward of 1,850 barrels of sperm oil i neb time, but losing tho last—captured by the English ship Nimrod in the war of 1812. On tlio return of pence ho made three seven month s voyages in old ship Martha, returning full each time. Then the Liverpool packet Pacific was bought, nnd in her in n seven months' voyage lie took 2,400 barrels of oil. Ho made a second voy age with liko results. He then perform ed his last voyage in the South America, taking 700 barrels, and retired from the fn, having brought 25,000 barrels of oil into port. Ho died in 1853, nearly eighty-livo years of age.

As for instance, tnko tho case of Captain Sargent 8. Day, Gloucester, Mass., who writes April 1(1, 1881: "Homo time ngo 1 wns suffering with rheumatism. 1 used a small portion of St. Jncolis Oil nud wns cured nt onco. I have used it forspraiiis nud never once have known it to fail. I will never lie without a bottle." Captain Day also re ceived a circular letter, and In reply under date of July 1, 1887, lie snys: "I used the Oil ns stated mid wns permanently cured of rheumatism by its use." During the inter vening six years there had been no recur rence of tho pain. Also a letter from Mr. II. M. Converse, of the Warren (Mass.) Herald, dated July 9, 1887, iis follows: "In response to yours of June 22, would say thnt in 1880 my wlfo hnd a sovoro attack of r h e u m n t i s m in shoulder and arm. so thnt she could V W not raise her hand -Z&Cy to her liend.

Kyle, Tower Hill, Aptiomattox oounty, Vn., who writes, November, 1880: "Was nlllictcd for several years with rheumatism nnd grew worse all the time. Eminent physicians gave no relief; had spasms, nnd was notex- nccted to live; wns rubbed all over with St. Jacobs Oil. The first application relieved, the second removed tho pain, continued use cured mo ; no relapse in live years, and do ns much work ns over." These are proofs of tho perfection of the remedy, nnd, taken in con nection with the miracles performed in other eases, it lias no equal. Ely’s Cream Balm.

Not an hour of du light passes tlmt from o m to twenty visitors do not visit tlio Grant tomb, and on Sundays thousands go there. Tho improvement of the park around tire tomb has made tho hitter look shabbier than it used to.
