" Well one thousand it shall be. If,

" Yes."
" And do you furthermore reflect that a

" I have thought it all over, Gideon. If

' r ear not that 1 shall tail." Said Uid
eon Smart. "I am not apt to put my hands
lo a work trom wuich to turn back unsuc
cessful."
Gideon Smart was a notorious tram bier
and blackleg a sport and an exquisite of
tne first water, i do not mean that lie was
a dandy ; but when he chose to turn his
ambition into rasmomutio ways few could
surpass him.
Thomas Aubrey was a young man of
flvc-and-lweuty, and had been left the pos
sessor of au ample fortuue ; but a course of
dissipation, and loose living in every way,
uaa scattered nts patrimony, ana no was
now penuiless. In tho time when his father
lived lie had known Jvditli Amesbury, and
he fancied tbat she loved him, and since
that lime he had kept up the acquaintance.
though not to the extent of intimate famili
arity. Jiut lately ho had sought to regain
tne old ground. r.ditli ana Her brother
had been left equal shares in a fortuue of
half a million dollars, and if he could gain
her hand he could swim again upon the
upper wave of fushiou and pastime. One
impediment, however, he found in his way
and that impediment was a certain Wal
ter Harling, whom Edith might possible
love. How he proposed lo remove this ob
stacle we have seeu.
Walter Harling, at the ago of thrce-and
twenty, had entirely by his own hard
earned resources, graduated al one of our
best colleges, and was now, while studying
law at his leisure, engaged as sub-editor
on the stall' of one of Hie city daily papers.
One day a geullemau called upou liar
ling in his situctuin, and introduced bim-
seli as Gideon Smart, aud at the same time
presented an original article tor public
liou. It was upon the subjuct of Temper
ance, and was ot real merit.
"If vou publish it." said the visitor.
"let it go as your own. I employ some of
my leisure tune in scribiing, but 1 have no
ambition lo shine as an author."
After that Gideon Smart dronned in evcrv
day for a week, bringing with him on each
occasion an article lor publication. These
articles were crisp and "meaty," aud spark-
Hug with wit aud seutimeut. ihey bad
been written oridually by a poor httera
teur. who was paid ft mere pittance for
their eompositiou, and then copied by
bmart.
At length Smart brought in a spicy article
on gambling, which Harliug commeuded
highly.
"For the purpose of booking myself in
these matters," said Smart, "1 have taken
tbe trouble to visit a few of the more prom'
iqent of these dens of iniquity. Have you
ever seen tbe inside oi a gambling hall r"
" I never have." answered Walter.
" You should do so, by all means, my
dear Harhnz. The man who would make
a successful editor should make himself ac-

The idea struck Hailing favorably. He
had conceived a'fVing for Smart, aud he
promised that he would except the otter.'
There was nothing to prevent nut going

to you uniting your destiny with that of a j
man who is a frequenter of the gaming sa
loon." Charles Amesbury spoke in aorrow, but
firmly. His sister, beautiful as a rose of
early summer, and as pure, listened with
resolute incredulity.
"I cannot believe It," she said , "somo
men might deceive me; but not Walter
Harling. Deception is not In his heart,
and he could not wear it upu his face.
I know that he. carries his soul in his
looks 1"
"And yet, my dear Edith, It is plain
that he, has deceived you. Not only has
he frequented the gaming houses, but
houses of worse repute."
How know you this ?"
" I have it from Thomas Aubrey."
"And would you believe him against
AValter Harling f" demauded Edith, with
cheeks flushed.
" I think Thomas Aubrey is trying to
lead a proper life," replied tho brother.
"But I have it not upon his authority alone.
Others, whom I cannot doubt men whom
r-fonve purposely set to watch Mr. Hur-
ling's movements have told rue the same
story." N.
.Edith's eyes nasnea, ana ncr lingers
were clutched In the folds of her robe.
"Mr. Aubrey has spoken to you of
gaining my hand ?" she said, in a bushed
tone.
"He has hinted at such a thing ; but I
have given him no encouragement. Do
not think, mv sister, that I make this ac-
cuasatiou in- his interest. God knows that
your good is my only aim."
Edith kissed her brother and said that
she believed him : and then she walked to
the window, and looked oul iota the dark
ness. When she came hack lier lips was
compressed, and a new light was upon her
laco and m ner eyes.

mean to know of this."
" Really I" said Walter Harling, as he
took his hat from its peg, " 1 begiu to tire
of this. I gain much insight into the un
der currents of life in our city, it is true ;
but the views are not pleasant. I will leave
others to write up the stories of these
dens."
"But you will go with me this eveuiug ?"
said Gideon Smart. " You must see tho
insido of the Royal Bengal. It is the most
famed gaming hall in the country."
" Yes," answered Harling" I will go
this evening ; for I own that I have a cu
riosity to see the inside of tbat place."
And the two set forth. It was early in
the evening when they reached tho vesti
bule of the Uoyal Bengal, and the seminal
at the door passed them in. Close behind
them followed a fair-face boy whom the
guard stopped ; but the lad presented a
card hearing a naiuo which was authority
in tbe place, and he was allowed to enter.
" My dear Harling, let us have a lass
o f wine," said Smart, as they passed near
the bar, in the outer hall.
"No," auswered Harling. "I do not
use wiue."
M5ut, just a drop for friendship's sake."
" Wine is an evil with which I do not
tamper, aud I would cement no friendship
in such a treacherous clement. You will
excuse me, Mr. Smart."
" Gideon Smart bit his lips, for he saw
near at hand witnesses there by appoint
ment whom he had honed to entertain
with the eUlit of Walter Hurling drinking
wine at tho bar of tho Royal Bengal.
And at the samo time the fair-faced boy,
who stood apart in the shadow, but near
enough to hear and see, clasped his hands,
as though a dreadful emotion, and a bright
limpid light was in his wonderful deep azure
eyes.

where pictures aud statuary oi ine urst
Jiuality abounded. Here aro the appliauces
or gambling appliances of every descrip
tion. At the far end of the room they
found a faro-bank at which no one was
playing, though the dealer sat at his post
awaiting customers.
"Do you understand faro r" asked Smart.
"I understand nothing at all of any
game of hazard," replied Walter.
" This is a curious game. Let me ex
plain it to you."
waiter was curious, ana as no oue was
playing at the table, he drew near and list
ened.
" You observe these cards Used iu tne
face of the table the thirteen ranks of the
pack, from ace to king iuclusive. Have
you a piece of silver in your pocket ?"
waiter iook out a uuu uuuur uuu ex
tended it to his compauion ; but Smart
said,
" No just lay it upon one oi inoso

Aud Walter laid it dowtrx
At a motion from Smart the dealer be
gan to draw cards from the deal box, and
lay them down alternatively to the right
aud left.
"Oueenwme!" said he presently, aud
pushing a silver half dollar over (he board.

" Here," sabi his companion," you

"What"
4i The half dollar you have won."
"Don't insult me, Smart. 1 had no
thought of trying my fortuuein that man
ner. Give that piece of money back to the
man who owns it. You may smile at my
simplicity : but a half dollar taken iu thut
way would burn through my pocket aud
singe my conscience. I'll have none of it."
Gideon Smart slipped the money into his
owu pocket, aud as the backs of the twain
were turned the boy who with the maival
ous eyes wore a look upou his face that was
seraphic.
Shortly after this, while Walter was en
caged in examining an exquisite paiuting,
Stuart jiviued a mau who had been run tiled
up in lilt cloak in auother part of the hall.
M Have you soen V" asked Smart.
" I have seen thus far," answered Tom
Aubrey, letting his cloak partially fall.
" Aud you will see no farther," pursued
Smart " I am al the end of my rope.
Harling has proved himself a toujihercus
tomer than 1 thought. I can't bag him
anyhow. But you saw him put money oa
the faro spread out t"
" Yes."
" Theu make the most of it. Others saw
the same thing."
'.' I will." answered Aubrey.
And thus speaking he turned quickly
away as he saw Harling comiu$, and as ha
turned he met the gazo of those wonderful
eyes, and saw tha boy's agitated face.
" Oul of the way f" ha muttered, in his
haste, and when be had reached a safe dis

tance from Harling he paused to look at the
boy again ; but be was gotie.
Once more Edith Amesbury was sum
moned to her brother's presence. It was
evening, and Thomas Aubrey was with
liira in tiio drawing room.
"Edith," said Charles, " the truth can
no loncer be concealed. 1 have fairly draa
ed Mr. Aubrey hither that you may here
trom ins own Jips wuat transpired last eve
ninz..'
" l'ardon me. Miss Amesbury," pleaded
Aubrey, in most beseeching accents,
"pardon and lorgivo. J leaven is my wit'
ness that I would not pain you if 1 could
help it. w bat i saw I saw ; aud your
brother comaiands me to speak."
" Where did you see it ?" asked Edith.
" At tho Royal Bengal Saloon."
" Why were you there V"
" I went to obscrvo the movements of
another another, whom I saw in com
pany with oue of the most noted gamesters
in our city and whose company he has
kept for many days past. Need 1 speak
the name r"
" You need not," answered Edith. "An
other was there to See and hear as well as
you. Wait until the other witness comes V"
With this she left the room. Her brother
was amazed, while Aubrey showed by his
looks that he was alarmed.
By and by the door was opened, and
Edith re-entered, enveloped in a water
proof cloak drawn tightly around her throat
and extending to her leet.
"Where is your witness?" now asked
her brother."
" llere," she said.
As she snoke she eathercd ud her flow
ins tresses and put a dark cloth can upon
her head, and then throwing olf her cloak
sue stood arrayed in boy's attire.
The very boy whose wonderous eyes had
looked upon Thomas Aubrey in the Royal
Bengal Saloon on the previous evening.
" Edith 1" cried Charles, when he could
command speech, "what docs this mean i"
" It meat. " she ronlied "that tho nerson
P whom I employed to watch the movements
ot our enemies was one whom I could most
implicity trust myself. I borrowed
these garments of a friend, aud through
the influence of a man high in authority, I
gained a pass to the gaming hall. Let Mr.
Aubrey tell the rest."
But Mr. Aubrey was struck dumb.
" Theu," pursued Edith, "let this man
sneak." And going to the door, she led in
Walter Harling.
It would be painful to tell how Thomas
Aubrey crept away from the house. But
he left joy aud sunshino behind him.
Edith ran away and put oil' her masque
rade ; aud when she came back in her own
attire, radiant and jubilent, her brother
had heard the whole story from Walter's
lips.
"What say you to the discovery of my
agent V" demanded the proud and happy
girl.
" I ask your pardon both," said Chas.
" and tho only attonement I can oiler is
this."
He took the hand of his sister and placed
it within I ho grasp of Waller Uai liug, ad

1IYDKOPIIOBIA.
HOW TO TltEAT IT SUCCESSFULLY
A correspondent of the Detroit 2'noune
gives an account of the trcatmeut pursued
in a recent case or hydrophobia at r lint,
Michigan. The subject of so much dis
cussion, Mr. Brunt True, was bitten by a
rabid dot: last May. 1 lie dog had Uilten
him iu the ceutur of the right hand. Being
in the country at the time, it was some
twelve hours before ho reached a surgeon.
who cauterized the wound with uitriite of
silver. The wound healed and remained
so until it became irritable and broke out
again. Soon tho first marked symptoms
of hydrophobia showed themselves, convul
sions, "barking liko a dog," frothing at
tho mouth, and making strenuous exer
tions to bite everything that came near.
Dunne his couvulsions the patient would
seize the pillows from the bed with his
teeth, aud rcud tueiu wuii an tne ieiocity
oi an angry uog.
Au immense dread of water also exhibit
ed itself, the sight threw him into the most
terrible convulsions, at theso times requir
ing the united strcugth of two men to keep
him under subjection ; tho fact, every symp
tom of hydrophobia made itself conspicu
ous. The patient was attacked on Friday
evening, January 16. On Saturday even
ing his physiciau, Dr. Oxford reached him,
aud at once was convinced of the terrible
nature of the disease.
Having had a case similar seven or eight
years since, where the patient recovered
uuUer his treatment, aud has remained
well ever since, after consulting the physi
cian present. Dr. Mi-Cull, it was decided to
place the patieul uuder the same treatment
which had been successful iu this former
case, which for the aid it may be lo others
who sutler from the disease, we here give
as follows : The injection under ihe skiu of
large doses of moi phiue, and the admiuis
tratiun of large doses of castor, which is a
powerful anti-spasmodic. About one grata
of the sulphate of luorphin was injected uu
der the ouce iu four hours, and half a
drachm of the powerful castor, mixed with
syrup, giveu luturualiy.
The eil'ect was to produce sleep in about
half an hour, which lasted about an hour
and a half, when tho convulsions relurued
at intervals of an hour to au hour aud a
half, until uiu3 o'clock on Suuday morning,
when the last convulslou occurred, after
which he suffered severely from obstiuate
vomiting uulil Moudayat 10 o'clock, wheu
that hi m ceased, leaviug tho patieul coin
narnlivelv easv. but very much prostrated.
Since that time he has gradually improved
uud tiow is, lo all appearauce, quite well,
lu addition to the above treatment, small
quantities of chloroform were iubaled at
times, aud on Sunday morniug tbe patieul
was wrapped iu a wooleu blauket wrung
out of a warm solution of the muriate of
ammonia. This was the treatment which
checked this fearful melody, and which
Dr. Axford, for the sake of humanity, is
anxious it should be published to the world
aud thoroughly tested.

Te Preserve Cider.
"A correspondent for whose opinion we
have a very high respect," says the N. Y.
World, "seuds us a communication in
which he recomends the use of sulphite of
lime as a means of preventing the f'crmen-
dation of cider. This material is now used
in large quanlitics by brewers and also by
sugar manufacturers. Cane juice properly
treated with it may be kept for months
without material injury, and may then be
boiled with a certainly of producing ex
cellent sugar. Knowing these fads by
practical experience, we thought our cor-,
respondent's idea might be a good one, at
the same time we took the precaution to-
nsk a large dealer in the bi-sulphnte and
chemicals generally, and were informed
that Vie cider mnnufacturert tcould not use
U. He further said, the process they use
is to let the cider ferment once, sons to
clear, then rack ofT, and into each cask or
barrel they throw a piece of fresh raw beef;
by this system of operation the cider is not
only kept sweet, but some think it is im
proved . We know nothing of its value ex
cept that it is very generally used by largo
cider makers who have a high reputation)
for the excellence of their product. View
ing in a chemical light, we would say that
it was far preferable to the bi-sulphate
mode, as the albumen of the meat has a
tendeucy to soften the acidity aud produce
mellowness, while there aro circuinstauces
under which the lima might uuite with tho
acetic ncid and produce acetate of lime,
which, if not positively injurious, would
uot at all add to the flavor of the cider.
Fricasseed Eoo-Flan-t. reel and
slice tho egg-plant ; lay the slices iu salt
water two hours, to remove tho bitterness
and the black which it would otherwise
have; after soaking, drain oil' all the water;
have enough boiliug water in a clean, bright
saucepan to cover the slices ; throw in a
great spoonful of salt, and lay iu tho egg

cient milk to cover the slices, add two
tablespoonsful of butter, rolled in flour ;
let it simmer gently, shaking in the pan
over the fire till the sauce is thick, and
then stir iu the beaten yelks of three eggs
just before serving.
Tooth Wasii. Dissolve two ouuees or
borax in three pints of water ; before quite
cold add one teaspoonful of tiucture of
tnyrrh and one tabiespoonful of spirits or
camphor ; bottle for use. A wineglassful
of the solution added to a half piut of tepid

This solution applied regularly preserve

induces a healthy action of the gums.

liablo to extreme suffering from felons oa

recommended as a cure for tho distrcssiug
ailment : Take common rock salt, such as
is used for salting dowu pork or beef, dry
it in an oven, then pound it fine aud mix,
with spirits of turpentine in equal parts.
Put it on a rag and wrap rouud tbe part

a beautiful glazing for cakes.

Bake in small cups quickly.
Asparagus. The Western Rural saya
that asparagus should be cut iu the fall as
soon as tho growth becomes ripe and dry.
We do not remove it at all, but add enough
straw so that all will burn clean, because
tbe ashes count so much at a fertilizer, aud
tbe stalks are difficult to convert into man
ure. The reason for removiug it from tho
bed or plantation is that compost or rottcit
manure may be spread in the fall to protect
lite roots, partially from the frost, and also
that the rains may wasb,oiuo of the solu
ble portious ol the uaauuru into the soil be
fool it is lightly dug iu the spring, it is
