WEAVER Dublin: Ga,, Oct. 13, lHSti, TOO LATE. “Will you go away, aud lot me die in peace ?” “No ! I will not go away, and you cannot dio in peace while your iniq uitous will exists. Destroy that, make ono that gives Mutnio her rightful inheritance, aud I will go away, to the other end of the world if you will.** “And leave u»o to the servants ?’’ “Not unless you desire it. Uncle Lou, dear, dear uncle, do listen to me !” “How can I help it ? Hero you have me, nailod to my arm-chair, unable to leave it, and you keep up one eternul song that is never out of my ears.” “Because I cannot take what you would give me; and Mamie will never take it from me. You hare no right to will it to mo. It is hers.” “Hers, indeed ! It is mine !” “But how did it become yours, lour wife, Mamie’s mother, left you her eutiro fortune. Do you suppose she would havo dono so if she had not trnstod you so entirely to do what was right for hor child ?” “Mary had no businoss to marry a man I hate.” “Yes, slier had, if he was a man she loved.” “I hate him,” was the fiorce re ply, “as I hated his father years ago. [To wronged me bitterly, and I never forgave him. But for his dishones ty I should be a millionaire to-day. You ask too much, Robert, when you ask me to make a rich man of Stephen Hoyt’s son. You do not understand how for years that man, iny trusted, confidential friend, was using iny faith in him to undermine rny business and work my ruin, be cause—the woman’ he lovod loved me ! Hud I guessed that it was his son Mary would meet at her Aunt Maria’s, I would never have consent ed to her going to Washington. And when it was too lute to influence her, I gave hor the choice botween Walter Hoyt and hor father, and she mud.) her own selection.” “But tyranny should not go be yond the grave: You may live for years, Unbit Lou, but I bog you to let your anger do when you do. It cunnot harm you, in tlio grave, to let oven Stephen Hoyt’s son havo the money that ought by every right to bo Mamie’s.” “I will not! I nevor will.! Go away !” He was so fierce, so excited, that Robot t obeyed him, and wont to his own room. Ho was not a young man—somuthong over forty—this champion of hiscousin’s right, neith er was he a rich man, although so anxious to throw away a handsome legacy. But he was a good man, ono who went ever to the Highest fur strength and guidance ; and he loved his cousin with the lore that is thestrongorif it comes late in life. He had hoped his love was rotnrnod, for the pretty, winning maiden of ton years before, then just stopping from girlhood to womauhood hud given him the frank,- tender affec tion of a sister. That fateful visit to Washington had turned the whole current of Mary Bradley’s life, and while her father raved over -her in fatuation for her lover, Robert Brad ley wakened from his dream of Imp- pi ness. It was the story, so often told, of a child who having had every whim gratified from infancy, having been spoiled, pcctcd, indulged in the most trilling wish, is suddenly crossed in the strongest desiroof her life. That ber father should say “no” to her never entorod Mary Bradley's mind until sho read tho furious letter that answered Walter Hoyt’s manly letter of love and request for a father’s sanction to his engagement. It had been many Years sinco tho broach between: James Bradley und Stephen Hoyt, and tho young man knew tiotliiiig ot any former intimacy. Tho grave bad closed over his father while he was but u child, and no re cord of tho friendship betrayed had come to him. ' If it had, ho would have been told tho other side of the story* that Juntos Bradley hud. won away Stephens Uo'yt’a promised wife, for sho was actually engaged to Stephen, when her heart turned trator to hor word, and hor love was given to James Bradley. Then, in hot revonge, tho desorted lover nsed tho confidence roposod in him, and brought pecuniary ruin on his old friend, so crippling him that ho lost courage, and was willing, when hie debts were paid, to give up all business and live on his wifo’s incorno. But ho never spoko of his lost friend, and not until Mary had given her lovo past rooall was tho old wrong brought forward to hurl at hor lover. They were young, in love, hopeful of forgiveness, and so ono sunshiny morning thoy stepped through an open church door, • and canto out, man and wife. It may have beeM, had James Bradley hurred to Washington a, little sooner, ho might havo gained his will. But when ho told his I daughter to muke her choice bo- tweon hor father and her lover, that lover had boon Mary’s husband for a week, and no thought of leaving him was possible to her. Her father wont abroad, not re turning until an incurable disotiso sent him home to die. Robert Bradley atisworod his letter, implor ing him to cotno und livo with him, in porson, nursed him faithfully, gavo him a son’s devotion, and never ceased importuning him to alter tho will that made hia daughter ponhT- lessand enriched his nephew. Only a few weeks had passed since tho old homo had been tnado ready for its master, but in those weeks tlio disease that had been - progres sing slowly made swifter advances toward tlio end, and both men know that before long the old home innst have a new master. Should that muster be Robert Bradley or ♦Walter Hoyt ? Tho old tnan who must deci le that sat where his- nephew had left him, deep in painful thought. He must dio ! That he knew, for there could be no soft-deception there. Dio, and leave Ins only child to starve ! What was it Robert had told him ? “I havo had lottcra from Wash ington, telling me that Walter Hoyt is a holpeless invalid, crippled by a steamboat explosion ; and Mamie supports him by giving music les sons. Mamie, delicate, used to lux ury, trumps about in ull kinds of weather, going to her pupils, coming home to nurse und comfort her hus band, and do tho drudgery of the floor thoy rent.«-Sho will not accept charity, und she has never forgiven iiio for urging hor not to marry against your will. Bo sho stuggles on as she best can. Three children lie in their coffins who might have lived with proper food and clothing. Undo Lou, do not take two murders on your soul! They will dio if you do not relent!” That was wh t Robert had said. Tho invalid reached out his arm and opened a drawer in tho desk beside him. It opened raluctuntly, us if it had been long closed, and inside lay a bundle of lotters. What made him read them ? It was years sinco the tiny child’s baud had penued that “Dear Pupa” that streatched in uneven linos half across the sheet. Only a fow linos iu each letter, written when the child was in tne country with an aunt. . But the few linos all boro the muno burden of cliildUh distress. “It is nice horo, but 1 want tu come home to my deur papa.”. Or, “Please, please, pupa, como hero to Mamie, or let mo como homo to youi” Ho read them all: hut tho lust one was in the free, flowing hand of a woman, and it told tho story of that other lovo, stronger than that of child for parent. But thoro was no anger in James Bradley’s lace ns ho read, only u white terror, as if ho feared his hour was too brief for his work. He drew up a shoot of papor with-» in reach, and wrote his will again, very brief, vory plain. Everything was left to his daughter, und iu case of hor death, without ohildreu, to his uepliew Robert Bradley. As tho iavalin signed his name, his physican camo in aud ono look at his putiont’8 face brought him quickly aoross the room. “Don't Iminil me,” James Bradley whispered, the bonds of perspiration starting on his forohead. “Sign that as witnoBS. Ring for a servant to sign. Quick ! Quick ! Thoro is no time to lose.” A quick jerk at tho boll brought a servant und Robort, and the inva lid gasped out the fow words : “Sign-—my will—my signature— you aro witnesses.” Thou, hours of agony, ended in death. It was a week later whon Robort Brudloy stood at tho door of nu upaitmout houso in one of the poor est streets in Washington, listening to a woman, who spoke rapidly, but not without feeling. “Yes, sir, a telegram camo for Mrs. Hoyt, but it was oil tho day sho buried her husband. Yos, sir, he died and Buffered more than tonguo can tell. She had to give up hor teaching, and sho’s sold every thing sho could turn into monoy. Sho reud tho tolegrarn, and - silo smiled—it wua awful, 1 sir, that smilo —and whispered ‘too lato.’ And she scarcely speaks, but sits thoro with her bunds in her lap. Bomo- times I can coax her to bed. some times she only shukes her head, and it is the Runic about eating. If I put u cup of soup to her lips, sho drink it, but sho’s just dyings of grief, sir. I hope yon aro sotrib kin to her, sir, that can see to hor being cared lor. I do tho best I can, but I’vo a big family and the bouse full of lodgers.” “I am her cousin. Will you see if I may go to her ?” Tho woman nodded, and went np the narrow staiicaso, Robort Bradley following hor more slowly. Ho had given up his inheritance. IIo had conquered the love of his life. What was to be his reward ? Ho answered tho question at once. Ilis reward was to bo the comfort und happiness of his Cousin Mamie. But could happiness come to her after such sorrow ? Again tho aniwor camo : “time will heal even that .wound, and I love hor.” But when he stood in tho narrow entry, waiting for tho summons to eutor his cousin’s room, thoro camo to him a cry of horror: “Cojno ! Oh, come quickly !” And, obeying tho summons, he saw in one agonizod look that hap piness has como to Mamie in douth. She hud gone to tho husband for whose sake she had given up every thing, and on tho cold, pale lips was a smile of perfect rest and peace. Ho had done nil that ho could, but too late l—New YorJe Ledger. . - Protiuitt Kwfturiitg. Somo \Vestorn railroad men havo started ait association of non-swear ers, and many are joining it.

How to But Wisely. Hull’s Journal of Health. As a universal rule in health and with very rare exceptions in disouse, tha t iu best to bo oaton which tho appotite craves or tho tasto relishes. Persons rarely orr iu the quality of food eaten ! ualuro,*s instincts aro.tho wisest regulators in this respect. The groat sources of mischief from eating aro three—quantity, frequen cy, rapidity, and from these come the horrible dyspopsias which make of human lifo a burden, a torture, a living death. By eating fast, the stomaoh, like a bottlo buing filled through a futinol, is full and over flowing before wo know it. But tho most important reason is the food is swallowed boforo time has been’ allowed to divide it in sufficiently small piocies with tho tooth ; for, like ice in a tumbler of water, tho smaller tho bits aro the sootior aro they-dissolved. It has boon scon with tho naked oyo that if solid food is cut up iu piccos small us half a pea, it digests almost as soon, with out being chowod at all, ns if it had boon well masticated. Tho best plan therefore, is all poisons to thus com minute their food ; for, even if it is well bhowed, the comminution is no injury, while it is of very groat im portance in case of hurry,, forgetful- no8s or bad teeth. Cheerful conver sation prevents rapid outing. It re quires about fire hours for a com mon meal to dissolve und pass out of tho stomaoh, during which time this organ is incessantly at work whon it must have repose, us any other muscles, after such a length of effort- rionoe persons should not cat within less than a fire-hour in terval. Tho heart, ilself is at rest tnoro than one third of its time. Tho brain porishos without repose. Nevor force food on tho stonnch: All aro .tired when night comes. Every muscle of tho body is weary and looks to the lied ; but just as wo lio down to tost every otlior part of tlio body, if we by a hearty meal give tho stomuch five hours work, which iu its weak Htato requires a much longer time to perform than at an earlier hour of the day, it is like imposing upon a servant a full day’s labor just at tho close of a hard days work. Hence the un wisdom of eating heartily late in the day or evening ; and no wonder it has cost many a man his lifo. Always breakfast before work or oxerojuo. No laborers or active per sona should oat an atom later than sund'.twit, and then it should not be over half the midday meal. Persons of sedonlary habits or who aro all ailing should tuko absolutely noth ing for supper beyond a single pioce of cold stale broad aud butter, or a ship biscuit, with a single cup of wurm drink. Such a supper will always give hotter sleep and prepare for a hoartiur breakfast, with the advantage of having tho exeroiso of tho whole day to grind it up and -ox- tiaot its nutriment. Never, eat without tin inclination. With war prospects lowering in Europe and a war measure against Canada and Croat Britaian ponding in Congress, it will be a good idoa for far mors to give u number of ex tra acres to provision crops. With tho farm self-sustainod in the pro vision line, a small cotton crop would be a big surplus. Isn't this plain ?—Sparta fehmallile.
