My gratitudo to her begun when I was ten years old, nnd alio came to the cottage tvliero my mother had bcraped out scanty food for herself mid for mo lnngo than my memory recalls. Sho lifted mo from that mother's dead, cold form, when I was sobbing out my chililMi agony, and coverili; my tlnn, chilled limbs in her own velvet clonic, carried me in garments ns soft and fine as her own ; she shared every luxury of her bjilendid homo with mo; hhogavomo teachers lor all studies suited to my age, As I grew to womanhood sho introduced mo to society ns her adopted sister. Rest of all, she loved me. cmio was itveiiiy-iivo ttiieu sue tool; mo home, and for eight years I can recall only happines. 1 had no whim ungratilied, no rea-tonablo wish crossed or denied. If I had been indeed tho sister sho called mo sho coulu not have lavished upon mo more, ten der care and affection. When I was eighteen I had a lover who won my whole heart. I gave him love, un consciously, and when his words showed me what my own hensations meant I shrunk back nhrigliled. With tho intuition of deep, grateful affection, I knew that Marjorie hud wrapped up her life in mine. Sho blood utterly nlono in tho world. Her paitl companion and housekeeper was a ma tron of middle age, wkoso whole soul win absorbed in preserves, pickles ami crochet work. In her loiioliucss sho had taken mo into her great, nohlo heart, and when I left her I knew I should leave, her desolate. So I shrunk back from llio avowal that was such an ccstacy of delight.'such a hitler self-reproach. 1 thought I had coiumcrod nil (races of emotion in my face us I went from tho garden where tto had walked my lover and myself lo Marjorio's sitting room.

"No I hnvo not quarreled we that is I do not think ho will come again." For tho first time sho frowned sternly. "Is it possible that you nre that baso triflor, a eoipiette," sho said, in a voice full of in dlgiiation, "that you 'have led Stephen to believe that you loved him only from vanity, and have njected his honest, trim lovo?" In my deep palu that sho could so mis judge mo I nobbed out the truth that I lovctl Stephen, hut that it seemed to mo a baso in gratitude to desert her. "Child I child !" she said, eonly, gather ing mo in her arms. "Heaven forbid your life, should bo sacrificed to me I Did you ever Hear among our friends of my lovo story?" "Never I" I Haid earnestly. "Rut I knew thero was a great grief in your llfo at some time. I could ceo it in your eyes, even in your smile. It is tender and sweet, but never Joyous." "When I was your age," sho said, greatly stroking my hand as sho spoko, "I was as light hearted us a bird, My orphanhood was an event so long past that I have no re collection of my parents j but my unclo was father and dear companion tome. Ho was a wealthy man, and gavo mo every mlvaii' tago that wealth can bestow.

Even then ho would have corresponded with me, have liciu Himself bound, but that I would not permit. My unclo's life was not in danger and I would not let Arnold waste tho best years of his manhood without wifo or home. So we bado each other farewell, and a few mouths later I heard that my lover had join ed a party of men going to Australia." Ami Have you never heard of him sinco V 'Never I My uncle lived six venrs.

"Yes, dear, I shall love him while I live!" She told me no more of her heart historv then, but talked of Stephen, of our lovo, of tier entire sympathy in our future. I think sue must have written to him, for in the evening ho como again, and wo were be trnthed. I knew that Stephen must return to his business in a few days, but he promised to return in a month's time. "Stephen," I said, "tell mo again about your cousin's offer." "Why, do you want to co to Australia ?" he cried in ania.oment. "No, but I want to know something about your cousin." "there is but little to tell. When I was a mero boy ho went to Australia, a poor man. Ho invested a vcry small capital in sheep, hiring his farm.

I gavo scant greeting to Stephen beforo I drew Arnold llalcombo Into tho library.

The Wiiiiilering .lew. One of the most remarkable fictions over accepted by the people, is that of tho Wan dering Jew. Its basis rests upon a falso in terpretation uf tho words of Scripture: "Thero are some of them standing hero who shall not taste death until they sco tho Son of .Man coming in his Kingdom." It was tho belief of many that this prophecy was literally fulfilled in the per.,on of a Jew who was wandering over the earth, and was tn continiio to wander till the end nf time. Tho first mention of the mystical personage is found in tho chronicle of Matthew Paris, who states that in 122S an Archbishop of Greater Armenia having visited tho Abbey of St. Albans ivhilu on a pilgrimage to tho shrinei of Kngland, was asked'whether ho had ever heard or seen of a certain Joseph, who was present when our Lord suffered, who spoko to him and was still alive, wan dering upon the faco of tho earth. A knight in his retinuo answering, said that his lord well knew tho man, that he had eaten at the Archbishop's table, and was often seen and conversed with by him. The Archbishop went on to relate that as the. lews were drag ging our Lord to be crucified, C.Uarpbilm, one of tho porters in tho service of Pilate, struck him, saying in mockery ,"Oo quicker ; why do you loiter?'' Ami Christ, looking back on him with a stern countenance, said, "I am going, and you will wait until I re turn." As our Lord had said, Catarphilin is still waiting His return, llo was, nt the timo of our Lord's death, thirty years of age, ami when he comes to the age of ono hundred ho returns to tho same ago ho was when Christ suffered. After tho ascension of our Lord, Citarphllus was baptized by Aminius nnd was named Joseph, llo dwelt in Armenia and other Rastern countries passing lils time with tho prelates of the Uhureh, a man of holy conversation, of few wolds ami circumspect behavinr.neverspeak ing except to Ulshops and religious, and re lating tho events which took place when our Lord died, and in tho lives of tho Apos tles. The next mention of tho Wandering Jew wo find in 1.105 in Roheiuia, whero a poor weaver named Kokot, in great perplexity to find a treasure hidden by his grandfather somo sixty years befoie, was shown by tho Jew where to find it, ho having been present when it was hidden. About tho sanio time, mention is mado of tho mysterious person ago in the Kast, but tho most chciiinstantial account of him is that given by Dr. Paul Vou Kueii, afterwards Rishop of Schleswig, who says that in 1517 "hu observed a tall man with his hair hanging over his shoul ders, standing barefoot during tho sermon, over against llio pulpit, listening with tim deepott attention to tho discourse, and when ever tho iiamo of Jesus was mentioned, bow ing himself profoundly und humbly, sighing and heating his breast. Ho had no other clothing lu tho bitter cold of tho winter, ox ccpl a pair of hoso which were in tatters about his feet, and a coat with ngirdlo which reached to his feet, and his general appear- anco was that ofa man of fifty years." Tho doctor was struck by tho man's appearance, urn! inquired about him, Ho found that ho was unknown to any one. People hud seen him In all parts of Kuropo, but knew him not. On questioning him, tho doctor learned that ho was a Jew by birth, by namo Alias uerus, by tradu a shoemaker ; that ho had been present at tho crucifixion, and had lived over sinco, travcllug through tho world. Ho rolutod all the details of tho crucifixion, and gavo accounts ol llio changes in thu uovern- i THE COLUMRIAN, VOL. X, NO. 19 COf.l'JIIlIA DKMOOIIAT, VOL. XI.!, NO. 23 monLs of tho Kastcrunnd other countries for many centuries. Ho stated that ho had worked to havo Christ put to death, nnd when tho sentence was pronounced ho ran homo to call Ids family to look nt Him ns ho was carried to execution. Tired with tho weight of tho cross, Christ tried to rest for a while near tho door of Ahasuerus, but was driven by him away und bid to hasten His steps. Christ, looking nt him said, "I shall stand and rest, but thou shall go till tho last day." When theso words were tittored, Ah asuerus, who had his child in his arm?, put it 'down, nnd iinahlo to remain where ho was, followed Christ and saw him suffer and die. When this had taken place, ho could not return to Jerusalem, but was impelled to go forth into strange lands, ono after an other. Twenty yean afterwards, tho Wandering Jew was reported to have been seen lu Spain. In KVJO he is said to havo been seen in Vienna; in 1C01 nt Lubeek, and shortly afterwards at Revel in Livonia, and Cracow in Poland. Ho was seen in Moscow, and in 1G0.1 ho was again at hubeck. Tho next year ho arrived in Paris, though tho chroni clers stato that thoy did not sco him. It is very probablo that impostors, seeing how easily tho story was swallowed, frequen tly appeared in places and claimed to bo tho Wandering Jew. About tho beginning of tho last century, a man calling himself such appeared in Kngland, nnd though educated people laughed at his pretentions, yet the vulgar trusted and believed in him. Tho last appearance of a pcrfon claiming to be tho Wandering Jew was in 1771 at Rrussels. Xolre Dame Scholastic.

A villain with a heart more callous than that of Thomassen. and a record 11 0 ll'K4 atrocious, has just been uncovered nt Ada, llardin county, Ohio, in tho person of Isaac R. Charles, lato city treasurer of Ada, and who lias, up to short period, borno an excel lent reputation, and has been regarded as a consistent member of the Methodist church, but who is now proved, within tho past four years, to havo murdered his own father and mother, mado away with his wife and child to marryhlsservantgirl.il committed bortlon, forgery and robery, and winding up, a few days ago, by feeding arsenic to thirteen members of his brothers' families, four of whom havo died, and some of tho others aro likely to. This murderous record begau four years ago, tho lather and mother being the first victims. Isaac had got hopelessly in debt, and to get out, had forged his father's namo to several notes, which coming due, began to trouble him. The father provided for one, but while talking with Isaac about tho others ono day, in the barn, was killed Isaac said by a kick from a horse. A few nights beforo h"o had been unsuccessfully shot at through the window, to the great mystery of everybody, for it was fiipposcd that ho had not an enemy in tho world. A few days after the old lady suddenly died from grier, Isaac said, and his brothers and tho community believed him. Rut u moro startling episode was yet in store for this ter ribly fated family. Is lac had in his household n young girl, some seventeen years old, and of a sudden sho was sent away to Columbus, for what reason did not appear, but it is now said in order that an abortion might be performed. During her absenco Isaac's wife antl child were Mitldenly taken ill, and after a vcry brief sickness, they went down into the grave to join tho aged cottplo who had so shortly beforo departed life so suddenly. Within six months of his wife's death Isaac married his servant girl. Still tho community was not aroused. In tho meantime, Isaac had obtained from tho probate court the appointment of himself as the administrator of his father's estate, and ( proceeded to settle up his affairs. In the course of a year it became apparent thnt Isaac was "administering" tho estate to his own advantage. Nono of the taxes -were paid, and it was ascertained that he had been pledging the assets of the estate for his per sonal debts. Six months ago, on petition of his brother, Isaac was removed from tho of fice and Mr. Isaac Thompson of Ada ap pointed administrator. Last week a meeting was arranged of the brothers to bettlc mat ters. Isaac camo the day before, and tvhllo bis brother's wife was mixing bread preparatory to the largo company of tho morrow, man aged to slip in the dough arsenic enough to kill forty persons ; then suddenly "recollect ing" a business engagement which "would keep him a couple of days," left the house. The other brothers met next day witli their families, ato of tho bread, and soon thirteen wero violently sick, four of them dying the sauio day. Isauu was arrested on Sunday night, and Is kept under strong guard to pre vent lynching, the evidence against him be ing overwhelming. Daring lltiliucry.

As tho season of sunstroke Is at hand tho following facts concerning this visitation aro worth heeding, coming ns they do from so high an authority as the Sanitary commlltco of llio New York Uonrd of Health : Sunstroko is caused by excessive heat, nnd especially if tho weather Is "muggy." It Is more apt lo occur on tho second, third, or fourth day ofa heated term than on the first. Loss of sleep, worry, excitement, close sleep ing rooms, debility, nnd abuse nf stimulants predispose. It is much moro apt to attack those working in tho sun, nnd especially be tween the hours of 11 o'clock In tho morning nnd 4 o'clock In the afternoon, On hot days wear thin clothing. Havo as cool sleeping rooms as possible. Avoid loss of sleep and all unnecessary fatigue. If working in-doors and where thero is artificial hcatseo thnt tho room is well ventilated. If working in tho sun wear a white lint (not black as it absorbs heat) and put inside of it on the head a wet cloth or iilargogrecn leaf; frequently lift tho hat from the head to seo that tho Cloth is wet. Do not check prcsplratlon, but drink what water you need to keep it up, as prespiration prevents tho body from being overheated. Have wherever possible an additional shade, as a thin umbrella, when walking, a canvas or board cover when working in tho sun. when much fatbjued do not go to work, or bo excused frpm work, especially after 1 1 o'clock in the morning on vcry hot days, especially if the work is in tho sun. If a feeling of fatigue, dizziness, headache or exhaustion occurs ceaso work immediately, lie down in a shady nnd cool place, apply cold cloths to and pour cold water over head and neck. If any person is overcome by tho heat give tho person cool drinks of water or cold black tea or coffee, if able to swallow. If the skin is hot and dry, spongo with or pour cold water over the body nnd limbs, and npply to tho head pounded ice wrapped in a towel or other cloth. If there is no ice nt hand keep a cold cloth on tho head, and pour cold water on it ns well ns on tho body. If tho person is pale, very faint, nnd pnlso feeble, let him inhale ammonia fora few seconds, or givo him a tcaspoonful of acromatic spirits of ammonia (hartshorn) in two tablespoon fuls of water with a little sugar.

Olio of tlin most important legal opinions that has boen delivered for somo timo is that nt .Tmlim Wylio of the Supremo Court in the District of Columbia. The point at issue was: Yates a member of a buildim; association hud mado sundry defaults in the pnvmont of his monthly dues, which amounted tn SlOa month until he owed the sum of ?2G0 in duo'. For these defaults fines amounting to $1S1 had been imposed ou Yates, and his property was then advertised for sale. Tho judgo in deciding the ease .iid "ho could seo nothing in tho nature of theso building associations to take the fines levied by them out of the operation of the settled doctrines of equity: that when fines were merelv col. lateral to thu performance of somo princi pal tiling, equity would relieve ugainst them when tho performance could yet bo mado with out injury to any party concerned. Hut in tho case of theso associations tho fines were collateral to tho navment of ihn monthly dues by members, and wero inteil- acu to insuio prompt payment. If then a member who had made defiiult came hi and offered to pay his dues witli interest, the Court must relievo him from the fines, unless tho associations could show actual damage beyond said interest, resulting from said default, mid even then relief would bo granted upon compensation for actual in jury.
