" See, Vincent, I found this memo randum among a package of grandma's v letters. It must Lave gotten there by accident." Vincent Tracy took the paper, yel lowed by age, and glanced over it. I Then he Landed it back to his bister, having: ."It was just like grandmother. When she did good it was always in that un ostentatious w.y. il r right hand never kn-w what her leit hud given forth. I wih we might rind a iriend like her." "bo do 1," said Gertrude, with a soW look on her pr tty face. V How little she thought .thut even the sum ' mentioned in this"-holding' up the faintly trai ed lines and running her eye y over tlieiu mechanically " would be a comparative fortune to us." . "I hoj glad the kind old soul was taken home before the losses came. We are young and can bear disappoint ment., and can strut gle to make onr own way in the world. But our grand mother would have felt the difference keenly." "1 don't quite understand how such ! a large fortune could melt so suddenly. J)o von, Vincent? lias some one cheated us ?" 'No, Gertie. It was all because of the way the money was invested. Lawyer Grey advised that it should be taken from the bank and put into insurance 6tock. Then cauio those tires in Chicago, and afterward in Boston, and some of the best companies buret up. Our money went with them. Say, Gertrude," as a thought struck him, "lot ui try and find who it was that grandmother meant by those initiate. If he was smart he may have inado a fortuno out of her loan, and might be willing to give ns back what ho borrowod. Four thousand dollars would just enable me to finish my law studies, and would give you the have our diplomas, and might shake our fists in the faco of tho world before we began to wrest our living from it." Gertrude smiled at Vincent's boyish speech, as she said, quietly: " Wouldn't it bo better to coax for tune instead of to drive her ?" "That depends on circumstances. Women, of course, have to be silky and smooth-faced to get along." "And men have to ape their beards, and be rough. Is (hat the idea, brother mine?' Vincent laughed. "That's it, sis, exact ly. But let m e have another look at that paper." He took it in his hand and read aloud : "Lent B. V. Z. to-day four thousand dollars, whicli I drew lrom the bank for that purpose. I did not require a note, as I am old and may be called suddenly, and would not press him for payment until ready to make it. I have perfect confidence in his honesty, and am sure he will return it at some future time, if possible. If not, and his previous bad fortune follows him in his new venture he is about to make, I can afford to lose the money, and he is welcome to it. The date appended was twenty years previous, and as Vincent was only eighteen, while his sister was two years younger, the loan had been made pre vious to their births. Mrs. Graham's only daughter had married and gone with her husband to India. Ten years had elapsed before children had been given to her arms, and so at the time the memoranda bore date there was every prospect that the race would die out with Mrs. Tracy "If grandmother had known that sho was to have us to leave her money to, she would have been more careful of it Don't vou think so. Gertie ?" " I don't know." answered Gertrude, thoughtfully. "At any rate, I am glad she did as she did. I'm sure she had treasures laid up in the right place." . Vinnftit'a "Yph" was an absent' minded one. He was in a brov$ study about something. Then he said: "Sis, vou are very handy in com Dosing. Now vou just put your wits to work, and write an article relating to this a sort of blind one, you know. Bay that if i. V. Z., or, bis neirs are liv'iog, they will hear o.j something to their advantage by communidting with V. T. No; with the heirs of G. " "You mistake. Vincent. 'It would be to our advantage." " Don't r interrupt," said Vincent, loftily. ",I look at it from the higher plane. Isn't it purer pleasure to pay a Inst debt than to feel that perhaps one las defrauded an orphan ?' j "But if one knows nothing about it? If the person grandma loaned it to is dead, would his children foel glad to hear of such a large debt ? You know that it was twenty years ago that this happened." Vincent looked slightly discomfited at this view of the subject. But Gertrude, seeing that she had the best of the argument, was magnanu mous, and did not follow up her vic tory. She took up a pen, and, after a mo ment's thought, wrote something on a sheet of note paper. ' Tnere, Vincent, will that answer ?" Vincent took it from her and read : " If B. V. Z., or his or her heirs, know anything of a sum of money loaned a long time ago to B. V. Z. (without any security but his promise to pay as soon as able to do so), they will confer a favor upon the heirs of B. G. by communicating with them at their convenience. Address V. T., Box 1181, P. O. "That's all right, Gertie. Copy it right away, and I'll run to the office with it." "Running won't hurry the mail, Vin," said Gertrude, pithily. "Don't tease, Gertie, Girls are not nice when they torment a fellow." " But a ' fellow ' needs to bo kept down a little, or he realizes too deeply that he is a so-called Lord of creation!" you know,' Vincent. But you are better than most ; so I'll be your humble little servant, and do as you say." And the girl bent and touched her lips to her brother's forehead, with a bright smile, which atoned for her teas ing. iho advertisement was duly inserted, and for days and weeks the two studied the columns of the daily paper, hoping for an answer. But none came, and at lust, in the pressure of newly-assumed duties, all thought of it faded gradually out of their minds. Vincent had found a position in a store, and Gertrude had gone back to her school as a pupil teacher, bo ai to finish the nearly completed course of study which had been interrupted by her kind grandmother's death, and the loss of fortune which had bo speedily followed it. Time passed on, and Gertrude was graduated at the heed of her class, carry ing off high honors. She was at once onereu a position in madam's school at a good salary. She accepted with a glad heart. Now sho could help Vincent to carry out his heart's dearest wish, as her only expenses would be for her clothing, and she could appropriate the1 most of her earnings toward paying for his tuition at the law school. Wait, Gertie," said Vincent (clear ing his throat of a lump which had come into it as he bad listened to ber unself ish offer), "until I get a start. It's your turn now, bat mine will come if industry and perseverance can compass it; tben we 11 see. "I have no doubt youJl get me a coach and four, Vin, said Gertrude, with a slight touch of her old mischief lurking about her lips and eyes: but she sobered down at once and added, seriously: Love mo always as well as you do now, and continue to be tne same steady, good-principled boy, and I shall be the happiest, most contented sister in the whole world." Spite of Vincent's twenty years and tall stature, Gertrude still called him a boy; and that name from her lips sounded in his ears with a music no other title could have carried with it. With the lapse of two more twelve months Vincent had attained the first stepping-stone toward success. He had mastered the details of his chosen pro fession, had passed his examination, and his name was enrolled among those who were considered competent to un ravel knotty law points. Judge Lorrimer. a famous jurist, bad taken a fancy to him, and admitted him to his office, first as clerk, then after a time as junior partner. He found his position no Binecure, but he worked un weariedly on, feeling no effort too great that would help him on toward fortune and fame. One day, while searcbing for some documents pertaining to an important case, he came upon some papers yellow with age, labeled " IS. V. Z.'s Bonds." The conjunction of initials was such an unusual one, that Vincent's heart gave a sudden bound. Surely he had come at last upon a clew which would enable him to find tbo person to whom bis grandmother had made the loan. As soon as he could gain Judge Lorrimer's ear he told him of his discovery, and of his reason for being so mucb interested in it. The judge listened with attention until Vincent had concluded his story. Then he said : "Even if your surmises are correct, my opinion is that you can do nothing about it. Mr. Zennington has been dead many years, and his heirs are abroad. They were two grandchildren a boy and a girl and as their father's friends were in England, after their mother's death they were, as a matter of course, sent to their natural guardians. They must be grown up by this time." A client entering stopped the conver sation, and it was not again resumed. Some months after Judge Lorrimer in vitt4 Vincent to a dinner-party. "Be sure and come and bring your sister with yon," he said. " I am ex pecting some pleasant friends, and I would like you to meet them." It was quite an event in the lives of the brother and sister. Their daily duties allowed them but little recrea tion. So when it did come they enjoyed it all the more. Among all the guests gathered to gether within the judge's stately home, none looked fairer or sweeter than Ger trude Tracy in her dress of simple white, and her breast-knot of velvet leaved, golden-eyed pansies. Vincent, too, compared favorably with any of the gentlemen present. Straight and broad- shouldered, with an expression in his clear, dark eyes which told of a daunt- less spirii, anu oi a nopeiiu, sunny nature, which is one of the most precious of gifts within fortune's power to be stow. He was seated at table beside a young girl who was introduced to him as Miss Montague. As he glanced at her he could think of nothing but a modest white rose. She was of a dainty fair ness of complexion, with a faint pink upon each dimpled cheek. Her eyes were as blue as forget-me-nots though tlreir color was rarely visible, so per sistently did the white lids shut them in. At first she was very shy, but after a time Vincent succeeded in drawing her out, and the two chatted away as confidentially an though acquaintances of years instead of houis. Gertrude was equally well enter tained. Her vis-a-vis was a courtly- mannered youth, who had evidently seen much of the world, and his de scriptions of continental society half humorous, but without a touch of mal iceheld the girl's pleased attention until the party broke up. The brother and sister weie very silent as they went home, and, strange to say, neither questioned the other as to the cause of the unusual abstraction. But the truth was each was recalling the music of the rtleasantly modulated voices which had so lately entranced their ears, or were seeing again in mem ory the witching glances of bright eyes. . What was Vincent 8 surprise , ana pleasure, some days later, when the mdge came into the office with the two young strangers, who were brother ana sister, and introduced them again to his young protege; but this time he added, turning to Claude Montague: "Mr. Tracy is the young man of whom I told vou. Claude." and then Vincent found his hand taken in a firm clasp, and heard earnest words of grat itude poured forth. "Benjamin V. Zennington was our grandfather, Mr. Tracy, and once, when his fortunes were at an ebb so low that ruin stared him in the face, a noble hearted friend gave him help. We knew of this debt of gratitude, as in after years he used to talk about it. But we my sister and I were so young at the time of his death that the name of his benefactress escaped our memories. So we have never canceled the debt." " And we can never, never repay it," said the soft voice of Blanche Monta gue; " for money alone would be pow erless to do so. . All we have in the world is indirectly owing to . your grandmother's assistance." As Vincent met the frank gaze of the soft blue eyes he thought how pleasant it would be to cancel any debt in that direction by asking for a very precious gift herself. But as he did not put his ideas into words Blanche was none the wiser, although if eyes could have spoken his ardent look would have soon told his secret. This discovery at once placed the young people on the sure footing of friendship, and they were thrown to gether very often, as a matter of course; and need I tell my discerning reader tbat at last tho heirs of Mrs. Graham and of B. V. Zennington became joint possessors of both estates by entering into that mystio alliance which is for better or for worse ? The Welsh Teople. The Welsh people are simple in their habits and very polite, writes a travel ing correspondent. The peasant women, always plainly dressed in short frocks, a handkerchief tied around the neck and shoulders, with a tall, conical-shaped hat, seldom fail to make a courtesy when they meet strangers or those of the upper classes. The rich and poor are proud of their Welsh origin, and they are clannish and tenacious of their language, customsand traditions. Their church services are conducted in the Wesh language, and they observe with strict fidelity the church rules and regu lations. The bulk of the better classes belong to the Church of England, while the poorer classes and peasants are Methodists. DuriDg my stay over Sun day I attended the Episcopal church with my friends. The services, of course, were in Welsh. The minister noticed that we had but one book between us, and he walked down during the service and handed us 'another one, in a simple and quiet way. I noticed also that the first lesson of the service was read by theleader of the choir, while the sec ond was read by one of the boys who sang in the choir, and the whole congre gation impressed one with the earnest ness and devotional spirit they mani fested through the whole service. The language is built up largely of conso nants, with but few liquid sounds, and at first, and to a person not familiar with it, sounds severe and harsh. Mr. J. P. McCullough has been ap pointed a missionary of the Southern Baptist board to China. WISE WORDS. A handsome man and a fool may wear the same cap. Children have more need of models than of critics. The failure of one man is the oppor tunity of another. A handfnl of common sense is worth a bushel of learning. The best people need afllictions for trial of their virtue. If a man has nothincr to do vou mav be pretty sure that Satan is looking out for an employe and will soon find one. Fine connections are apt to plunge you into a sea of extravagance, and then not to throw you a rope to save you from drowning. They who are weary of life, and yet are most unwilling to die, are such those have lived to no purpose who have rather breathed than lived. Such is the marvelous ductility of gold that a single ounce of the pure metal may be drawn out into a wire thirty-three miles in length. Wrong-doing is a road that may open fair, but it leads to trouble and danger. Well-doing, however rough and thorny at first, surely leads to pleasant places. An unkind word from one beloved often draws the blood from many a heart which would defy the battle-ax of hatred or the keenest edge of vindic tive satire. If you hate your enemies you will contract such a vicious habit of mind as will by degrees break out upon those who are your friends, or those who are indifferent to you. The grandest and strongest natures are ever the calmest. A fiery restless ness is the symbol of. frailties not yet outgrown. The repose of power is its richest phase and its clearest testimony. Men's lives should be like the days, more beautiful in the evening; or like the spring, aglow with promise; and like the autumn, rich with golden sheaves, where good works and deeds have ripened on the field. In the depths of the sea the waters are still; tho heaviest grief is that borne id silence; the deepest love flows through the eye and touch; the purest joy is unspeakable; and tho most im pressive preacher is the silent one whose lips are closed. - Hie Man With the Umbrella. Why it is that the public do not lock kindly upon a man carrying an um brella in a hot day is a mystery yet to be solved, but the fact is they do not, and that not one man in a hundred has the moral courage to carry one. Yes terday when an eminent and dignified citizen coming back from his dinner turned into Griswold street with an umbrella over his head, he was accosted With: " Been raining down your way ?" " No. sir." "Going to?" " No, sir." "Then you carry the umbrella to keep the flies off'" Yes, sir." "Well that's a good plan, and all soft men ought to practice it." The next man had a grin on his face as he called out: "What's that for?" " To keep the sun off." "What do you want to keep the sun off for?' "Might get sunstruck." " Suppose you did ?" "Suppose you mind your business, sir?" The next man presumed upon his long friendship to halt the man with the umbrella and whisper: " Pretty sharp in you, old fellow keep the bulge toward your creditors and they can't see you !" Other men told him that wearing a poultice on the head would dispense with the umbrella, and others eaid that if he was afraid of his ears feeing tanned ho should fasten a fan on each side of his hat. Not one single man took him by the hand and encouraged him, and when he reached the postoftice lie was so discouraged that he lowered the shade and used it to punch the ribs of a boy who had begun to sing; 'He's a flat he's a feller, And ho lugs an old umbrella."

The Careless Use of Ice. It is only in this country that ice enters so largely into the apparent com fort of its inhabitants, and a very dan gerous comfort it is. Dyspepsia and a number of evils follow directly in the train of the consumption of ice. To the great pitchers of iced water so temptingly displayed on hot days may be traced a number of maladies, for it is evident that no person can, without danger, suddenly and violently lower the temperature of his stomach by fill ing it full of waf er at thirty -two degrees Fahrenheit. That valuable orgnu will certainly resent the insult, especially if followed up by repeated injuries of the same kind. In the tropics, where tho ice has mote temptations surrounding it than in any other part of the world, the inhabitants most carefully avoid it. You cannot get a Cuban to indulgo in iced water. People who have been previously addicted to the foolish habit of using ice-water, after visiting the West Indies, forever eschew the dan gerous practice. A party of men who recently visited San Domingo on busi ness (who would go there for any other reason?) on the first arrival mourned greatly at the absenco of ice. "Ah," said they, " when tho English steamer runs in here we will go aboard and have a treat in the shape of good iced brandy and soda." The steamer arrived in due time. The ardent foreigners jumped into the boat of the captain of tho port (a negro gor geously arrayed in uniform covered with gold lace) and, barely saluting the captain, rushed to the saloon for the coveted refreshment. It was duly ab sorbed, and the whole party rendered ill in consequence. None of them have ever touched ice since that time. In the West Indies it is only tho colored race which patronizes ice to tho white people it is not only no luxury, but a dangerous enemy. Ice lias its uses ; m the hospitals it is invaluable ; for the preservation of provisions, especially fish, it is useful, although detrimental to flavor if allowed to touch tho meats to be preserved ; but as an article of human consumption it should be avoid ed. There is yet an essay to be written upon tho maladies and woes produced by the careless consumption oi ice. It is only with us that this takes place. Abroad, ice is simply a .'.nxury only re sorted to at times ; even in California the rotidents are wary of it. In shoit, ice is a very good friend iu moderation, bat a bitler enemy when the intimacy is too absorbing. Xew York Hour. A Curious Trap.' Among tho discoveries made recently in the great dead sea of tho West, wore some gigantic oyster shells, more than six feet long, each pair of which once contained an animal that tho average boy reader of St. Nicholas could not lift. In other localities shells of but one valve wer9 found iifteen feet long, and each of these wn3 inhabited by a cuttle fish, that forced itself through the water by a method like that used t.) shoot a rocket up into tho air; and some authorities tay that these cuttle fish attained a length of eveu thirty !eet. Those long fellows had . a long aame, Orthocerotite, and they had a cousin, the Ammonite, which grew as large as a cart-wheel. Such wero some of the shells of a thousand years ago; to-day the only really largo shell is of the clam family. It is named Trklncnagignn, and is found in the Pacific ocean; the length of it i life being sixty or seventy years. It grows imbeded in the coral, and is fast ened to the rocks by u cord called the byssus, which is so tough that f can only be cut with an ax. The shells themselves are six feet long, eachvalvo weighing more than two hundred and fifty pounds; while the animal part often weighs thirty or forty pounds. When alive, the tridaena lies with its great valves ajar, capturing any food that may pass within the scalloped edges. A shark was once caught in this way, as shown in the picture. Swimming along in search of food, he unwarily passed into the doorway of the great clam's houso, his tail rudely striking tho animal. Like a flash the tremendous jaws snapped together, squeezing tho mon-eater as if he wero in a vice, and rendering him utterly powerless. As the tide went down, the shark's head appeared above water, thrashing about and churning up the sea. The hubbub attracted the atten tion of some natives, who soon cap tured both shark and clam. St. tficko lis. A furious Spot. Between the mouth of the Missis sippi and Galveston, ten or fifteen miles southwest of Sabine l'ass, is a spot in the Gulf of Mexico which is commonly colled "The Oil Tonds" by tho cap tains of the email craft which ply in that vicinity. Thero is no lund within fifteen miles, but even in tho wildest weather tne water at this 6pot is com paratively calm, owing to the thick cov ering of oil which apparently rises from the bed of the gulf, about eighteen feet below the surlace. This strange refuge is well known to the captains of the small vessels which trade between Calcasion, Orange, Sabine, Beaumont and Galveston, and when through stress of weather, they fail to make harbor elsewhere, they run for "Tho Oil Ponds," let go their anchors and ride out tho gale in safotv.
