Minnie Harlan vas alone in the world her mother just buried. .She was a heautilcl brown-haired trirl with soft, shv eyt3 of violet gray, and rosy lips compressed to a firmness far b'cyond her years. For after all she was scarcely seventeen years, and so deacon Gny was tell ing her, as he sat by the fire spread ing his huge hands over the t:irdy blaze, and a?ked : "But what are you going to do to earn your bread and butter, child?1' "I don't know I haven't thought. Mamma had an uncle in New York, wno ' Yes, yes I've heard about him Le was mad because your mother didn't marry just exactly to suit Lim, wasn't lie?" Minnie was silent. Deacon Gray waited a few minutes," hoping she would admit him to her secret med itations, but she did not and the Deacon went away home to tell his wife that "that Harlan girl was the very queerest rreetur he ever come across." In the meantime Minnie was busy Hacking her few scanty things into a little carpet bag, by the weird. nickering light ol tne trying wooii fire. "I will so to Ne w York." she said to herself, setting her small, pretty teetn iirmly togetner. ".My mother's uncle shall hear my cause pleaded throught my own lips. Oh, I wish my heart would not throb so wildly! I am no longer Minnie Harlan, I am an orphan, all alone in the world, who must fight life's battles with her own single hands." Lower Broadway at seven o'clock in the pvenitirr! What a Babel of crashing wheels, hurrying humanity ana coneiomeratea noises u was!

'Poor little thintr!" thouirht the dark-haired young clerk nearest her, who inhabited sort 01 a wire cage under a circlet of gaslights. And then he took up his pen and plung ed into a perfect Atlantic ocean of account. "Mr. Evans." ' "tiir?" The dark-haired clerk emerged from hLi case with his pen Dehind his ear, in obedience to the beckon ing finger of his superior. 'I have noticed that young lady sitting here for some time how came she here?" -Exnressed on. sir. . from Mulins- tou, Iowa arrived this afternoon."

"But what are you going to do?" ''I don't know, sir. Isn't there a work-house or some such place I could go to until I find something to do? ' . "Hardly." Frank Evans could hardly help smiling at Minnie's simplicity. "They are putting out the lights and preparing to to close the oliice ' said Minnie, starting nervouslyly to her feet "I must go some where !" "Miss Harlan," said Frank quiet ly, "my home is a very poor one I am only a live hundred dollar clerk but I am sure my mother will receive you under her roof for a day or two, if vou trust me." "Trust you?" Minnie look at him through violet eyes obscured in tears. "Oh, sir, I should bo so thankful?" . "How late you are, Frank! Here give me your overcoat it is all powdered with enow, and But Frank interrupted his bust ling, cherry cheeked little mother, as she stood on tiptoe to take off his outer wrappings. "Hush, mother there, is a young lady down stairs." "A young lady, Frank ?" "Yes, mother: expressed from Iowa to old Harrington, the rich merchant. He sailed for Europe this morning, and she is left entirely alone. Mother she looks like poor Blanche, and I knew you, would n t refuse her a corner until she could find something to do." "Mrs. Evans went to the door and called cheerfully out : "Come up stairs, my dear you're as welcome as the flowers of May. Frank you did quite right ; you al ways do." The days and weeks went on, and still Minnie remained an inmate of Mrs. Evan's humble dwelling. "It seems as though she had tak en our dead Blanche's place," said the cosy little widow ; "and f ho was so useful about the house. I don't know how I ever managed without her. Now, Minnie, you are not in earnest about leaving to-morrow." "I must dear Miss Evans. Only think, I've been here two months to-morrow, and the situation of gov erness is very advantageous. "Nerv well. I shall tell Frank how obstina'e you arc." Dearest Mrs. Jv,vans please don t. Please keep my secret" " hat secret is it that must be so righteously kept?" asked Mr. Frank coolly walking into the discussion, with "his dark hair tossed about by the vrind and his hazel brown eyes sparkling archly. "Secret! repeated JVIrs. tvans, energetically whiping her dim spec tacle glasses. Why Minnie is deter mined to leave us to-morrow. "Minnie!" "I must Frank I have no further right to trespass on your kindness." No right eh ! Minnie do you know that the old house has been a different house 6ince you came into it ? Do you suppose we want to loose our little sunbeam?" Minnie smiled sadly but her hand felt very cold and passive in Frank's warm grasp. "You'll stay, Minnie?" "No." She shook her head determinedly. "Then you must be made to stay," said Frank. "I've missed some thing of great value lately and I hereby arrest vou on suspicion of the theft" "Missed something?" Minnie rose, turned red and white. "Frank, you can never suspect me?" : ' "But I do suspect you. In fact I am quite sure the article is in your possession." "The article ?" "My heart, Miss Minnie! Now look here I know I am very young alone. I cannot leave my husband, bncle Walter I love him: i : 1 hen vou must both ot vou come and bo my children, said the old man doggedly, "and you must come now, for the great house w like a tomb." . ; .

"So Minnie, instead of troing out os governess, according to the pro gramme, married the dark-haired young clerk in Ellison's Express office in New York. " They were very quietly married, early in the morning, and Frank took Minnie home to his mother and then went calmly about hi3 business in the wire cage, under the circlet of gaslight "Evans !" "Yes, sir." Frank with his pen behind his ear as of yore, quickly obeyed the behest of the gray haired official. "Do you remember the young woman who was expressed on from Millington, Iowa, two months since?" "Yes, sir I remember her. '. A tall, silver haired gentleman in terposed with eager quickness : "Where is she? I am her uncle, Walter Harrington. I have just re turned from Taris, when the news of her arrival readied . me. I want her: she is the only living relative left me." "Ah! but, sir," said Frank, "you can't have her." "Can't have her ! What do vou mean? Has anything happened?" "Yes, sir, something has happen ed. Miss Harlan was married to me this morning." ; - Walter Harrington stared. "Take me to her," he said hoarse ly, "I can't be parted from my only living relative by a mere whim." "I wonder if he calls the marriage service a mere - whim?" thought honest Frank bnt he obeyed in si lence. "Minnie," said the old man, in faltering accent, "you will come to me and be daughter of my old age. I am rich, Minnie, and you are all I have in the world."

The fire man stood at his post like a hero, and while the engine was plungm down the height at a giddy speed, he crawled out on the foot-board and poked sand through the sand box, thinking that it might assist the wheels in getting a grip upon the rails. As the train sped around Material Curve, which is "short and steep," the velocity was so great that the locomotive ran on one rau, ana overbalanced so greatly that it came within an ace of loosing its equilib rium. The braKcmen on uecic were obliced th lie flat and cling to the running-boards for safety. For six miles these badly frightened men stuck to the ship and faced the hor rors of death.

Somrt'of the cars were laden with iron for the front, but they were unloaded be fore the train stopped by the mate rial being hurled in all directions.

When a man chooses the profes sion of law he does not expect to be a musician and a journalist also; he knows if he would succeed he must devote himself to the one chosen calling. 'When a woman marries she realizes that in order to reach lofty hights in wife and moth erhood she must sacrifice lesser aims. She must be willing to lay aside the delightful occupations which made her girlhood so pleas ant; she must know that from the hour when her baby is laid in the cradle, dressed with loving fore thought, to that darker how when the mature man lies down in his last sleep, that she will give full meaning to the words, "Constant care."

"Surely we are not Exmouth yet?" 1 thought : unless I have fallen un consciously asleep, and allowed the progress of time to escape me. 1 glanced at my watch : it was barely half-past eleven, and we were not due at n-xmoutn until twelve.

"I don't know myself vet lie don't want . a scene until the mo ment of arrest ; we are safe enough until we reach Bayswater." . "Where is he ?" "The detective ? He sits by the door yonder, with a ragged fur cap pulled over his eyes. Did you ever see a more perfect specimen of the dilapidated" countryman ?" I smiled ; I could not help it "What is the case ?" "A murder a man and his wife and two little children their throats Our stay at Exmouth was but brief ; but during the delay I could see that the watchful detective had changed his seat to one nearer the brutish man in tho shaggy over coat "See!" faltered the young girl; "they locked the car doors at Ex mouth ; they are unlocking them now." She was right. "Probably they were fearful lest the criminal should escape," I marked, in an undertone. "Will you may I trouble you to bring me a glass of water?" I rose end made my way to the ice-cooler, by the door, but with dif ficulty, for tho train was again un der rapid motion. To my disap pointment, the tin goblet was chain ed to the shel "No matter," she said, with a winning smile ; "I will eorne rnv self." I drew the water and held up the cup ; but instead of taking it as she approached, she brushed suddenly past me, opened the door, and rush ed out upon the platform. "Stop her! stop her !" shouted the detective, springing to his feet "She will be killed! Conductor brakenian hold up!" There was a rush a tumult a bustle. I was first upon the plat form ; but it was empty and desert ed, save by a half-lrozen-looking brakeinan, who seemed horror- stricken. "She went past me like a shadow, and jumped off as we crossed Cairn turnpi'.e road," he stammered. "Jumped off the express train! Well," saitl lhe conductor, shrugging his shoulders, "she mut have been ki?Ied instantly. What mad folly!" It s five hundred dollars out of my pocket," said the detective, rue fully. "I didn't want a scene before we got to Bayswater, but I was a confounded fool. A woman corner ed will do anything, I believe !" hat r I ejaculated, vou surelv do not mean that child " I mean," said the detective, calm ly, "that the child, as you call her, is Attila Burton, a married woman, twenty-six years old. who last night murdered "four icrsons. in cold blood, and was trying to escape to Canada." The train was stopped and a par ty of us went back to search for any trace of the young creature, whose apparent innocence had appealed to my sympathies so earnestly. We found her at length, quite dead, by the side of the track, fright fully mangled by the force ot the fall. and mutilated almost beyond recognition. "Do vou suppose she expected to be able to spring from the train without injury ?" I asked. W ithout much injury ? l es ; wo men are unreasoning creatures ! But I never dreamed of such insane fol ly, or I should have taken measures to prevent it" They lilted up the lair dead thing, and carried it to the nearest place of refuge a lonely farmhouse among the frozen hills and we returned to the train, reaching Bayswater only a few minutes behind time. And when, in the morning papers, I read the account of the murder, and the tragic end of the murderous, I thought ot the slender creatures blue eyes, and rose-bud mouth, with a strange, pitying thrill at my heart Onr-Door Air ntl Exert-ise. The surest of all natural prophy lactics is active exercise in the open air. Air is a part of our daily food and by far the most important part A man can live on seven meals a week, and survive the warmest sum mer day with seven draughts of fresh water, but his supply of gas eous nourishment has to be renewed at least fourteen thousand times in the twenty-four hours. Every breath we draw is a draught of fresh oxy gen, every emission of breath is an evacuation of gaseous recrements. The purity of our blood depends chiefly on the purity of the air we breathe, for ,n the tabratory oi the lungs the atmospheric air is brought into contact at each respiration with the fluids of the venous and arterial systems, which absorb it and circu late it through the wnoie Douy ; in other words, if a man breathes the vitiated atmosphere of a lactory all day and of a close bedroom all night, his life blood is tainted fourteen thousand times in the course of the twentv-four hours with foul vapors, dust, and noxious exhalations. We need not wonder, then, that ui-ven-tilated dwellings aggravate the evils of so many diseases, nor that pure air should be almost a panacea. Out-door life is both a remedy and a preventive of oil known disorders of the respiratory organs ; consump tion, in all but the last stage of the dclupiium, can be conquered by transferring the battle ground from the sick-room to the wilderness of the next mountain range. HIS ELOQUENT REMARKS ON THK MCK PER OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN. The official report in tho Cunyreir uional Record of Saturday, April 11, 186-3, relates that Mr. Garfield, in the House of Representatives, after to dispense with the reading ol the Journal, and said : .Mr. Speaker, 1 desire to move that this House do now adjourn. And before the vote upon that mo tion i3 taken, I desire to say a few words. This day, Mr. Speaker, will be sadly memorable so long as this Nation shall endure, which God grant may be "till tho last syllable of recorded time, when the volume of human historv shall be sealed up and delivered to the Omnipotent Judge. In all future time on the recurrence of this day, I doubt not that the citizens of this Republic will meet in solemn assembly to re flect on the life and character of Abraham Lincoln, and the awful tragic event of April 14th, 18G5 an event unparalellcd in the history of nations, certainly unparalleled in our own. It is eminently proper that this House should this day place upon its record a memorial of that event" After a brief eulogy on the late President, and a pathetic allusion to the circumstances of his death, .Mr. Garfield concluded : "It was no one man who killed Abraham Lincoln ; it was the em bodied spirit of treason and slavery, inspired with fearful and despairing hate, that struck him down in the re-j moment of the Nation's suprcmest I iov. Ah. sir. thpre are times in the history of men and Nations where they stand so near the vale that sep arates mortals from the immortals, time lrom eternity and men from their God, and they can almost hear the beatings and feel the pulsation of the heart of the Infinite. Through such a time ha3 this Nation passed. When 2-Q,0(X brave spirits passed from the field of honor through that thin veil to the presence of God, and when at last its parting foils admit ted the martyr .'President to -the couipany of deal hero n of the Re public, the Nation-eto! o near the veil that the whispers of God were heard by the- childn n of men.

It remains for us, consecrated by that great event, that under a cove nant with God, to keep that faith, to go forward in the great work un til it shall be completed.

Rt- swift, my soul, to answer Him; be jubi lant, my feet, For God is marching on."' At the conclusion of this perora tion the House silently adjourned. ; The lUniIarton of the French Pre... ! The laws which regulate the prc33 ! continue to be very stringent, though some modifications of a liberal char acter have been introduced since the fall of tho Empire. Thus all attacks on the constituted authori ties, or on the religion of the State, or on either of the religions whose establishment Is recognized by" law, as well as all attacks upon the sov ereign or other head of a foreign State, all publication of faLse news, all writings which incite to the roinmfcsion of crimes or miede-1 meanors, or incite one class of citi- zens to hatred of another class, and all defamation of individuals, are punishable by lino and imprison ment, while the publication of mere ly insulting or abusive articles, not specifying any matter of fact to the detriment of" private individuals, i. c, a simple injure, as distinguished from diffnmatim is punishable by fine only. The accused ia not permitted to justify a libel by proof of ita truth, except when it refers to some action of a public officer in the discharge of his duties as such. And only in this latter case is the publication of the proceedings at the trial allowed, though, of course, the jvidi;ment mayw; published. This appeara to us a very salutary provision of law, which mig'it well be introduced in America. The deposit of security (consist ing of an actual payment in cash) in the hands of the Government was abolished in October, 1S70, but was re-established by the law of July C, eS71, though the amount thereof is only about one half of that fixed by the law of 1S"2, the sums' how re quired being, for every periodical appearing more than three times a week, if published, in the Depart ment of the Seine, 21,000 francs, and in any other department 12,0UO francs, if published in a city having more than fifty thousand inhabi tants, and G,000 francs in other casc3 ; and lor all other periodicals- (except non-political publications appearing not more frequently than once a week), 18,000 francs in the Department of the Seine, and the other departments one half of the amounts specified above. The sum so deposited as security is primarily applicable to the payment of all damages and costs awarded against the proprietor or manager ol the paper which publishes a libellous. article, or against the author of such article. The stamp duty upon newspapers, which existed under the Empire, was abolished by decree of Septem ber 5, 1S70. Every publisher is still obliged to deposit two copie3 of every newspaper or other periodical issued by him, m the hands of the public authorities. The law of De cember 20, 1875, provides that no administrative authority shall have the right to prohibit the sale on the public streets of any particulai jour nal. But the most important change recently effected in favor of the press is that made by the law ot April 15, 1871, removing press of fenses from the jurisdiction of the Tribuneax Correctionnels, and sub mitting them to trial by jury before the courts of assize. The Original I'enuy. The Sandwich Island Story. The secret history has just come to light, according to the San Fran cisco CiitV, of the negotiations, which were almost successful, by which it is alleged King Kalakane intened to dispose of his birthright, the king dom of Hawaii, for a $7,000,001) mess of pottage. Ca-sar Celso Mo reno, who acquired some notoriety not long ago in San r rancisco, m connection with Chinese steamship lines, was father of the project, and succeeded in inducing the king to consent to it and empower him to carry it into completion. The plan was that the Chinese steamers were to import as speedily as possible 1,000,000 Chinese subjects into the island, and these were to be taxed $7 a head, thereby raising $7,000, 000. Immediately the Minister of the Interior was to issue a procla mation declaring all persons on the island citizens who wished the fran chise. The Government was then to proclaim to the people that it wa3 favorable to an annexation with China, and call upon the people for a popular expression on the ques tion. The 1,000,000 coolie3 would outvote all the other population, and naturally would vote for annex ation. The $7,000,000 head tax was to be the price, and more was prob ably to be paid to the islands. Mo- The old, old penny in England, as in other countries, was of silver, and its appearance throughout the earliest time of it3 history would rather astonish those who know nothing of numismatic lore. From the Saxon times, in which it was the only silvef piece extant, till those of Edward I., it was stamped with a square cross. This enabled the coin to be readily broken into halves or quarters, which then served the purpose of half pence or farthings. But the latter coin was not much in ferior to the value of the present English penny, inasmuch a3 the un broken piece was valued at one thir tieth of a mark, or three pence ster ling. At this time five of them seem to have made a skilling or shilling ; so that the relations between what are now chief English silver and bronze coins have entirely altered in the course of six centuries. King Edward, who reformed the coinage, like everything else, was the first to issue pennies without the indented cros3 ; and to make up for the loss of the queer-haped half-pennies and farthings hitherto in use, supple mented the silver coinage with cir cular pieces, bearing the same value j and denomination. He fixed the standard ot the penny, moreover, by ordering that it should weigh thirty two grains of well-grown wheat, or, which was probably a more accu rate test, that twenty pennies should weigh one ounce. reno's missian was to withdraw the foreign watch-dogs the Ministers. When tliis conspiracy was discover ed the wealthier portion of the for eign residents brought every influ ence to bear, and the king was forc ed to dismiss the objectionable por tion of his ministry, and revoke Mo reno's commission and thus ended, for the present at least, the attemt at turning over to China the Sand wich Islands. A Woman's Experience. Lord BeaconsfiVld. Lord Beaconsfield had two broth ers James, deceased, and Ralph. He never associated with any of his kindred, but he appointed James, in 1S52, when he became Chancellor of the Exchequer, a Commissioner of Inland Revenue, the salary of which is $2,000 a year, and his brother Ralph was, at his request, appointed by Lord Chancellor Cairns, in 18U7, Deputy Clerk of the House of Lords, the salary of which is $1,200. They both, particularly James, bore a strong likeness to their remarkable brother. Another Suicide. Badvlox, L. In August 10.
