WHAT A WOMAN DID BY MR& MARY A. DENNISON 80 old John Dent. was gone, and had left nothing. Ire 'had lived the life of a millionairei he died the death of a beggar: leTt - no - tiiing, did I say'? Ile had left a helpless Jun or—.luhn, a creature of twenty, who, since his boyhood, had been busily employed in trying to ruin li inse 11, lime intellect, his moral impulses, los naturally no ble manhood. Junior John had just perfected his genius in the use of a gold-headed walking stick, when his father died. lle carried it between the thumb and finger of his faultless kids, in a way that strnek the fools of both sues with speechless admiration. The genteel tap of its taper point on the right haud knee of his pantaloons, was exquisite. The way he dudled It un der his moustache emote other dandies with envy, and hie use of it as a walk• ittratiek wee simply high art. Poor John Juniorl what would he do now? The fabulous wealth of poor old papa, all vanished ; the splendid furniture to be desecrated by the idle touch of the curious mob, the Not horses to be esetriliced, and all to sat isfy angry and unfortunate creditors, so OW. not one single penny would he likelf to fall into John Junior's pock et. What would be do? He walked the desolate rooms, his heart more desolate than any of them. To be sure he had not cared much Mr the old man. To him he had been very much like a plethoric pocket. book, from which he could draw hank noted at will. As to loving him—he had never seen him fifteen minutes at a time in all his life ; be could not, in fact,get near enough to love him. He could never climb that horrid mourn twin of business behind which his fa ther inirenched himself. So the Junior took to loving fast horses, and last young men, and billiard saloons, arid brainless women, champagne, cigars, etc. What: wouldthey do for him now Ile walked the empty rooms alone, he read the mocking labels on empty hot den, be felt in empty pockets. Not one of "the splendid felloves of our set" intruded upon his privacy. His father wan dead—they feltfor 'him ; he prob. ably whiled for solitude. If he did he had it—the solitude of the money. lees. The auction was over, and John Dont, Jr., had no home. One or two relatives gave him a cold invitation to "call and see them." One great uncle, and rich, by•the by, sent word that lie could accommodate him for a week or so, till he could find something to do. John's handsome eyes flashed as he tore the scented billet into infinitesi mal fragments, and ground them into the floor with his heel. "Thebiri scoundrel I" he cried, with flashing eyes, "and my father helped him make his fortune." Not long after this there came a lab ter—a homelier letter than the others, directed in a neat business hand. It found the poor young man in mean lodgings—a meagre little room, in the upper story of a second rate genteel house. On the strength of his bold. beaded cane and handsome trunk, the landlady consented to trust hun , for a few days. The letter lay on. his table when lie came in from a miserable recreation. Ile bad been down to the river, specu lating upon its coldness and probable depth. "At any rate," he had solilo quized, "I would not make a bail look. ing corpse—unless the fishes bit me. They would only say 'Poor Jack I he wps uncommonly good-looking and they, 'lt was deucedly mean of him to kill himself." . . It is probable•that the two fithey's" means not the fishes, but the reopen. tire main. John's eye brightened a little at sightaf the large, round supereecrip thin on the envelope. lie seized- it, ten itmpea, and read eagerly, as if he had found ertresertre. It was a strange thing km* re 4141111 gootiernad to do; bat, wtterrbriheill'Perened it, .he let it drop softly ittrrn Iris hand, his Alps quivered—A.4dt blindly for a hand kerchief in his aat pocket, and delib• eratelv wiping his eyes with it, rested his ell,os on the table, ,and covered his face with his hands.—For some moments lie sat in that position; then, 'ruling, he .walked the floor, exclaim. in g— "Tom Dent is a glorious fellow"! His lather is a glorious.fellow. His whole family must be glorious fellows, though half of them are girls, I believe. 11l go. That's no half-way invitation ; that's no coldly . Thrmed Apolo g y ; that's -down right welcome, by Jove. Heav en be thanked I I can't curse him." The letter ran thus : "Dees CouSIN Joni—We haVi! hoard of your great bereavement, anti cannot tell how much we sympathize with you. Father tells me to say that your room stands just where it did. The girls are all longing to see you. Mother declares she shall take it hard of her sister's child it, in your afflic tion, you do not come to her; and you may imagine tis all holding out our right hands, longing for a good grasp (*yours. It is my vacation now, turd I wantPyou. How f, OPTI may we ex pert you? Shall I drive to the depot at six on Thursday, or COMO on to the city to keep you company? Write me directly. I shall harness Black liens on Thursday at live P. M. Don' dis appoint us. YoNr loving cousin, Tom." "And how I snubbed hini when he was here," groaned John; with a ter rible tiimge (A conscience. flood Iletiv• emi! I aouder lw did not knock rue down. Well, at all events, that in vi. ration is real; I enkw it I,y—by—rny Iceling so like a confounded baby ; and up ‘iitjt Ihbltndtkerchirelagain. "I'll go iof II couple of weeks. I don't want 10 sponge on any body, but what can I do? I n,riider if Pros idence always ! missies for the lame arid the lazy? I believe I'm both--at least morally, II riot physically." - k So saying, John went to Itiif trunk, and threw hack the lid. A dozen pair of gloves met his eye. "I can at least give these to my cous ins," lie said,•liflghtening ; "that will Jray lbr something, and make me feel respectable. For the rest-I'm in mourning ;I'll give these light clothes to the boys; tell them I can't wear them, and—it will seem something like old times, when I could make a princely present. Egad I how much I've given our fellows, and now they don't know me. Pretty friendship I These cigars I'll keep; they don't like 'ern there, so I'll go out in the Fields and have a smoke to myself. This gold-headed cane—l'll leave it with the landlady in pledge till I come back. Then I must find something to do." Alexi! a life of mere fashion, a ca reer of dissipating pleasure, how it eats out the muscle and nerve of a man's energy-(_ John Dent dreaded - work, be cause it was something that would tax his dormaut energies and, like "Will Wimple," he had almost rather starve like a gentleman than learn a trade. At six on Thursday, according to ap pointment, John was met by a broad ebouldered.fellow, who lifted his trunk as if it were only an average size car pet-bag, and whose strong,hearty, web come grasp, almost took the city bred young man off his feet. "They're al! expecting you," said Torn, his great brown eyes full of a lovely light; "and we hope this is to be a real country visit, and not a mere call of a few weeks." John said in his heart—" This is glorious I" as the cousins crowded about hini, so glad, so hearty in their welcome—as his hands were taken in a motherly grasp by the sneet-faced aunt, whose soul yearned toward her dead sister's boy. As he eat down to the table, not covered with ver, cer tainly, but bounded by hone, loving hearts, and erodes, anirgentle words— "yes, this wax certainly glorious, "he said again. "Well, John," exclaimed his uncle —he had been there a menth—"l've been thinkiag about. what you told me, and I believe there's a first-rate chance foryou ; at any rate, a beginning," "Ah?" John's heart fluttered- arid bank. "Yes, a first rate chance; you've got a prep good education, nephew, been through/ college, and all that?" "I hare, said John. "Arid you. would make a pretty fair teacher." "A teacher, sir . r a teacher?" "Very responsible anti respectable position, and a steplung sprie, you know, to something_ Utter. Many of our beet lawyers, dociors, divines, inenced in that way," he added, pre tending not to notice John's look of consternation. "Now there's an in stitution over in Hops ville, not five miles from here, carried on by Misc Bessie Marvin- a woman of splendid attainments, a wonder, a prodigy. She is in want of a teacher, and I can get you the place." •`I accept a situation under a wo man—a spinster principal I" exclaim ed John, his consternation visible in his face. "I take it there are some women who could teacleyou more than you could learn, nephew John," said the old man, with a twinkle in his eyes. "Now you know that you are welOome as flowers in May— that this house is your home; you are too well fissured of that, I trust, to require a repetition of the fact. But, John, all my boys and girls work ; they are proud of their independence, and not ashamed of honest labor. If you were my son, I would beg you to 'accept this situation until you can find a better one. There is good in you— talent, if you will, and I am anxious to see it brought out.

"Well, here I am," he added, ati he was shown into the cool, elegant parlor. "I'll teach the young idea how to shoot with a vengeance, and when I've earned money enouhh to pay my way back to tha city, I'll shoot off to the cars, and take Lrench leave." At that moment he heard a rustling and a whisper. 'Oh, isn't he handsOmel" arid then a bevy of girls with fluttering ribbons scampered off. .'.Not a bad beginning," thought the blushrrig .kohn, „Presently a stately lady, tall, thin and ancient, made her appearance. John looked at her liands which pre sented the appearance of small carpet bags, in their square black units, and then he looked at her face, and inward ly groaned. "Miss March)," lie said faintly. The lady bowed with the precision of a carpenter's rule. "Shall I show you to your room, sir ?" she asked, "Von are expected to morrow ton will take charge of Department 11. Thni way. sir.'' "Pleasant," thought John, his spir its Calling below zero, "if I wait for her to make a match, the preceptor ehip of Illopsville Academy is beyond my 'lifetime." "I wonder who arranges Ihinge here?" he added, as lie was left alone ; roses, fillies—and net in pitchers ci titer, but regular whne dimity, lace curtains, straw carpet, a in hole looking glass—everything as pure an snow, and delicate as frost-work. Miss Bessie has good taste is slate of vine gar and ferules. Department II was the next point of observation. The girls were. waiting for him—shy, pretty witches, song of them charming and sixteen. A bur✓ followed his entrance; blue eyes and black were busy at their books. "'flint ancient preceptress must he a splendid disciplinarian," thought John. The duties passed off pleasantly John formed friendships—distant ones. "Does your principal never come in this department?" asked John of one of these. "Oh, yes ; she's been away, you know. She will conic this afternoon. Have you seen her? Isn't she just lovely We girls all worship her there never was such a Woman. If you could on ly hear her lecture! She can do any• thing, upon my word she can. On rainy days she takes a text and preah• es better than Dr. Fossit. Oh, you needn't laugh. John pressed kis lips together, as he cried sotto voce, "Oh youth, great is thy capacity. "Does she believe in man's rights?" he asked faintly. "I presume so, or you wouldn't he here,' was the saucy answer. "She believes in all sorts of rights, and eve rythine that is fight finds an advocate In her." "Bravo cried .John. "Recess rr, over." It was four in the afternoon. .John had been hard at work, for his pupils kept him up to Ore mark, and he was only fearful that they might ask him one question too many, and he not ready for it, Ac the clock struck,there was a flutter through the room ; all eyes 'turned toward the door. Then— was it an angel that had entered ? John mentally asked, looking dazed, as the white-draped figure, with float ing curls and liquid brown eyes, came in. Her rosy lips parted in no sweet a smile, that k made her quite enchant mg. She started as she met the grave, astonished face of John Dent ; then m•ving toward hint, she bowed, and with a self-poised, womanly air, she took her stand at the board, while the pupils were all attention. "Whew r whispered John, under his breath ; "who is she? Well she is gorgeous?" lle watched her with new and strange emotions as she stood there—those beautiful eyes alight with the lire of genius, her white arm raised, the cloud of delicate muslin falling grace fully away from it. What power there Was in every movement of the wand she held The difficult problems low. their stateliness, and seemed to tall lininMy before her, as in the presence ofa conqueror, conceiving themselves vanquished. "And she a woman," thought John, drawing his breath hard ; there are fiw men that could match her." "Well, that's our prineipty," said one °idle girls, as the iineen'of beauty and science left the room, taking more than her smiles and sunshinevyith her ; "Mars Miss Bessie Isn't alik beauti ful ?" "That—that—" stuttered John, "oh no, you 'Oust be mistaken. I—l maw,. Miss Bessie—that is, Miss Marvin, when I first came, a very tall woman "Oh, dear, no, that's her aunt," cried the girl, laughing ; "poor Miss Marvin —that's a good juke—she only sees to things; but Mies Bessie! we worship her 1" Poor iJobpl "Well, John," cried his uncle, one pleasant winter day • ','going to give up teaching, I Suppoeirl found it a great hore, eh 1" "No sir," replied Jobs, "its—it's a glorious occupation." "Oh, it is; and how is the spinster principal? Did you Midler glorious, too?" "More than that," replied John,look ing humble on the instant. "You aid not consider her quite old enough to be your mother." "Uncle—" his cheeks crimsoned. "Nor such a terrible (comic as you expected, eh ?"

"Uncl9 Tom," cried John with ener gy, "how can I thank yon'?" - "tlo to work," was the lento reply, and shaking hig hand, with a hearty grasp au hard listed farmer, the old man left the room.

Egyptian Temple of the Sun On the banks of the River Nile, near the Second Cataract,. in a wild and desolate portion of Nubia, remote from the habitation of men, stands the grand old temple of "Aboo Simbeh" This remarkable relic of antiquity was cre ated during the time of "Lteinemis the Great," who ruled over Egypt 1,311 years before the Christian Era. Its ex. tenor is composed of solid reels, pre served in its natural shape, and for many hundred yearn the entrance leas been completely covered by the sand of the desert. It is only within the present century that this temple has been reopened ;' mince which tone repeated efforts have been made to arrest the progress of the Nand, which persistently returns with the frequent Kliamseen winds to hide the narrow portal. • The changed topography of the coun try enables the elements to protect this strange monument of the past; and it Is not improbable that so long as Nu• bias rocks and mountains last, so long will "Aboq Simbel" stand. At the en. lance/are Iwo ifllmense collossi, repre senting nemesis the Second. They are seated On massive thrones cut into the rock in such a manner as to pr sent the apriearance of grim guardlitial to the sacred temple. Their total height is about sixty-six feet without the pede stals. T. form an accurate idea of their size, it may be well to state, that the car of each Collossus measures three and a half feet, the lore fingers three feet, and the lower portion or the arm, from elbow joint to finger end, has a measurement of fifteen feet. The height. 01 the facade of the tem• pie is estimated at one hundred feet; Ind as a portion of the base still re mains hidden, it is impostlible to de termitic the precise distance with ac curacy. The interior of the temple is adorned with works of art peculiar to the period, with carvings and hierog lyphics of an historical character. The principal hall is supported by eight tboride pillars, while beyond it is a second hall, iron, which ih%erge uu• menus corridors leading two ten side rooms and the a 1t tutu. In the centre of the niiymin is an altar, and at the upper end are lour statues in relief. Attached to the col• unins in the great yin are eight Colos si, each seventeen feet in height, with out the cap and pedestal. llpon the walls are numerous pictorial iliustra• eons, in colors, of Wale SeClies and conquests of nemesis the Second. A portion 01 the space is also occupied by a large table containing the data of this monarch's first year's reign. The coloring of the liguren still re. main bright and beautiful, although more than thirty live centuries have elapsca since it was executed. The character of the animals is faithfully maintained, but in the human form there appears to exist a failure in true representation. This is attributed- to the fact that the Egyptian artists were forbidden by religious prejudice to devi• ate from fixed and ancient, rules. In a niche over the entrance to the audience chamber is a statue of "Re" (the sun), who was the god of the tem. ple and the protector of the place. To tide statue the king is represented as offering a figure of 'I rittli.". The Theban trial also occupies a prominent place here, as well as Osiris and Isis. From the onto entrance to the in. nermoet chamber of this temple, the total depth of the excavation is about two hundred feet, and pot a ray of Hun. light ever penetrates the darknesi *hie% prevtidee the place. To visit "Alio° Simbel," we were compelled to wade knee-deep through sand for a distance of about!a hundred rode up hill. Crawling on hands and knees through the narrow hole which admitted us intlythe interior, we soon found ourselves in the gloomy recesses of the temple. following our Aral) guides, whn led the way with flaming torches, we passed through the corridors and rooms al ready described.. In the prosecution of ourarchicological investigations we were greatly interrupted by myriads of bats, Who, disturbed by the 'flaming torches of our guides, flew at us around and about us, occasionally striking us in our faces, and exhibiting unmistaka ble signs of disapproval at having thi precincts of their sacred sanctuary so unceremoniously invaded. A 'hunting Party Strioken Down by Diphtheria in the Woods—Only One Man Left Alive. The ,Voston Post has the follols front Bangor,fro Me.: The particulars ofa shocking case of suffering and death are reported here by one of the survivors of a hunting and fishing party, consisting of five in dividuals (French Canadians), who wre stricken down by disease and per. idhed in their camp on the Canada side, not many guiles from the American border, A party of five persons, of which he wits one, set out with two horses and rt pang about Christmas, upon a hunting and fishing expedition in the II thlerness near the American 11111'. The party • Were I, chi 0 1 111 ploo4l with guns, traps, fishing tackle, ail provisions, intending to spend a month or In() in that uninhabited region. He turning to camp one evening, tow of the men complained of a sore throat. Not much was thought of it by the rest of the party, till toward the middle of tine night the man gave evidence of ex treine suffering, his throat being swol ten. De had been 'attacked by that most loathsome and fatal of diseases, uillithenit. Without medicine of any description, and nearly fifty miles front any human habitation, before night set in the fllllll was a corpse. iletbre the first victim expired, however, an other of the pr.rty began to complain of the name difficulty, and on the second day died of strangulation- or..front the filling up of the throat. The three survivors took the two bodies out of the camp, and covered them over with 5110 W, for the purpose of preserving 1.144 mi till they could curry them out of the forest. Determined to break up camp the next day and return with their dead comrades, they were doom ed to theawantinent, to consequente of two of the remaining three being prostrated by the same terrible agent. The last two survived about fbrty•eight hours, , when they, in turn, Were carried out by the only (me remaining, to be buried in the snow. The sole survivor resolved to start for the abode of civili• zation with his freigheof noiseless hu manity. During the night the deadly contagion fastened upon himself. in his own words he "felt the monster at his Throat,", and resigned himself as well as he could, to his fate. He lay, as he thinh .li , some four or live days before he irokii to oonecioueneee of his fearful situation. The mildness of the weather and a good supply of blank ets and bong* saved him from freez ing, in the absence ofa fire, which he was LOO .wcak to kindle. As soon as he could drawl, he went to the hovel and to his amazement' find grief; found both of the horses dead. They had died of staravtion. Returning to Ills camp, he thought he would nake a look at his dead companions. udge his horror, when he found their bodies nearly eaten up by the wolves and oth er wild beasts that inhabit that wild and desolate region. Nothing now was left for him to do but to make his way, alone, onto( the forest With a pair of snow-shoes upon his feet, and as much provisions as his weak arid fee ble frame could bear, he started forth, and on the third daq reached an Indian camp, where he rested till' he was able to proceed on his journey. He gave his name as Le Roix or Le Broix, arid states that he was born near the River de Loupe. Twice Mistaken Captain A—, of Missouri, is known all the way on the Mississippi from New Orleans to Dubuqtte, as a big-hearted, jovial fellow, who doe not stand on the ceremony of an introduction before com mencing an acquaintance. The Cap tain is fond of a drink, and:moreover he does not like to drink alone It Ho hap pened that business called him to Wash ington, and he had as a eompanyon de voyage, a stout, thick set man, well up ie years, who wore a wig, and who pre sented a striking resemblance of the late Lewis Cass. To beguile the tedium of the voyage, they chatted together and they drank together. Captain one evening after his arrival, thought he spied his companion in the densely crowded ioilice of Brown's Hotel, and stepping up to him, he brisk ly slapped him on the back, and re marked, " Come, old follow, lot's take a drink." "You - mletake your man," replied the other, with great gravity. "My narno is Cue, Senator Cass, from Michigan." The captain, it is hardly necessary to may, was greatly „disconcerted, and slunk away. In; the course of the evening, however, ho was certain that ho spied his man, and rushing up to him, broke out with a glee, " Well, I've found you at last, 'Ho I ho I he I Capital joke to toll you. lie I he I he I Don't you think, b met old Cass, and took him for you I /JO I ho I ho I Clapped t)To oh] follow on the' back, he I he I and when ins told' nee I mistook my man, didn't I slope, he I he I he " The Captain oteervad,bowever, that his companion did not sprier to appreciate the jdke, but Mi. a time pre served a iigid oountenanoo, ROI then broke in upon Win, "I, sir, am Lewis Case, as I told you before, ass I, cap. not allow you to indulge further in those familiarities.” The Captain made no farther attempts to bunt up his former companion.
