IIo liail betn a hard mnu durinir his life-time, and there were dark rumors concerning tl manner jn which he had acquired liij fur tune ; lui he was rich oh, so rich ; lieopl put their hands on their mouths and Tjowei) down in tho dust before him, saving thei virtuous iudiutiation for crimi nals of :i low cr prade. 'Some men's sins go beforehand to judg ment.' Simon's were not of that kind troubling him very little during his lifetime or even in his dying hour, his thoughts be ing more intent on arranging the fortunoo his daughter Helen (who stood by the bed side), for witli characteristic tyranny hi wished to rule, even in his grave. 'And so you refuse to marry Ttobert Gran ville?' 'I have no other choice,' answered Helen 'not even to gratify a father's ilying wish can I be so utterly faUo to myself as to mat ry a thoroughly deprived man whose onl; recommendation is his immense wealth.' 'Dou't preach I If you have decided that's enough. You know me. 1 Am a man of my word. In ray will I have made you my heiress unconditionally. Marry Gran ville and you remain so (till. Refuse, and I alter it to suit my pleasure, though I doubt if it suits yours.' 'Father, if your last request has uo weight with me In tho matter, you can scarcely think I would be influenced by any otbtr consideration.' 'Very well 1 you like your own way, and disposed to pay a high price for it. I don't blame you, only don't think to dictate to me. 1 have ruled all my life find will do so still. Go out of the room, and send up the lawyer and the witnesses I' Argument was useless, so tho people were sent up, the will duly drawn, witnessed and signed, the old man died 'and was hurled, and a decorous length of time having en sued, various friends and relatives of Simon were assembled at his house to hear the read ing of the will. Considering tho inteuse interest -manifested by these good peopbj in the old gentlemau, even Irom the very beiuing of bU illness.and the emotion displayed at hU di;ath, it was astonishing bow cool they were towards his daughter, who sat quite alone and disre' garded. It had been whispered that che was dis inherited, and each and all wiere loud in their ilcuiunstvationi of tho imf .ossibility of receiving her, at the samo time manifesting small ingenuity of their ncigb bors, which they wereauxious to disclaim fo r themselves-, Much breath was thus expended quite use lessly, as the reading of tho tostament made them aware, for.after u few triflinp bequests, Simon Maitlaud left the bulk of his property to his daughter, placing it, however, in tho hands of Itobert, Grs.nville, who was to act as her guardian, and who, in the event of her marrying wlthoi at bis written consent, was to receive one-' half of it, while the rest of it weut to ce rtaln charatable institu tions. As Granville in id long sought the hand o Helen, and was, despito his immense wealth extremely avarW jious, therp was small possi bllity of obtain! ng his consent to a marriago with auy other than himself, so that Helen saw herself co ndemned to a union with a man she detet ted, or to celibacy, to which she objected fur various reasons, the princi shouldered in proportion, and calling itself Paul llrltton. That gentleman being very much enamor ed, was quite ready and nnxloua to take Helen thru and there.and set the conditions f the will at defiancc.but Helen felt an in surmountable reluctance to sto Granville in tho possesion of her father's estates, and counseled delay and patience hinting tho possibility of fulfilling the letter, and yet v'ndlng tho spirit of her lather's testament and promising, when her scheme should be more fuliy matured, to confide to him, with which tli r fiery Paul was obliged to content himself, Granville was a man about forty, pale flabby, nnd sinister in his expression, with hair like an Indian, and eyes like a serpent a notorious profligate in his youth at that time a hypocrite saintly In conversation, and diabolical in action, miking religion a stalking horse, nnd justifying himself from the scriptures with an ingenuity that en- rnged Helen beyond endurance. 'I am not surprised,' he said one day in answer to some exptmsion of this feeling toward him, 'that you are thus enraged at me, since the carnal will ever be against me. some guprdians might rovengo themselves by severity,but I remember that It was writ ten 'Whosoever shall smite thee on the one check, turn to him the other :' aud bo I en- luro your reviling patiently.' 'Say rather that you think tho control of half a million worth n few taunts and sneers I' "Judge not that you be not judged,' bu' believe that I seek to wean you frrm the vanities of a tooalluring world, and entice you to a claim consideration aud apprecia tion of" 'The numerous excellence and perfection of the saintly Mr. Robert Granville, I sup pose,' said Helen. A deep flush overspread his cadaverous countenance, nnd his volco was horse with rage as he answered, for, spite of his seem ing indifference, her taunts galled him to the quick. 'Helen Maltland, take caret iou aro heaping up wrath against tho day of wrath and woo bo to you when your reckoning come?, if vou aro not more civil. You shall find ms the devil you profess to think me. There, not another word. What, you talk ! Then I will go I will hear no more of your impertinence.' And red, rathlul and spluttering, h hurried out so brusquely that be almost knocked down a lady who was entering. He stopped and rubbei his eyes ; a lady whom he ilid not know, aud nt that early hour very strange and a pretty one, too, with a foot aud ankle that made the old sinner smack his lips. A visitor, as a carriage and several trunks denoted, with a charming face and roguish black eyes looking out from under a coquettish little hat, and a de cided toss of tho head, that satisfied Grain ville she was a dangerous personage. 'Helen is spiteful as tbo deuco already,' he muttered ; 'but if she has another wo man to set her up, the whims and caprices of tho two will drive me mad.' If this were really the case his conduct cau only bo explained on the supposition that he was anxious to become a luuatic as soon as posible ; for after the first interview with the dangerous stranger, who proved ti he a fascinating littlo iialtiiuore widow, his visits were ineosant. Mr-.. Morgan by no means shared Helen's aver-ion to Granville. She invariably citne to his rescue when his dull wits were unable lo parry some home thrifts of Helen, and one day he actually heard her reproving that young lady for hei irreverent treatment of that excellent man as she styled him. 'I am surprised, my lear,' said the widow 'for, apart from liis moral excellence, hois one of the mot fascinating aud agreeable of men.' 'Sensible woman,' thought Granville.'how she atmreciutes me. Pity that Helen was not more like her. Hut then the widow i vastly her superior.' So he became exceeding polite to tho widow and Mrs. Morgan grew vastly mote confidential. Ono of her objects in visiting the city had been to make certain purchases in real estate and with many compliments to his business capacity and a charming helplessness that gratified him, immediately placed the atlai u his f i ai t Old fox as he was.Granville lost his head 1'he operation which he was conductin cenvinced him that she was wealthy and her voluptuous beauty was far more to w liking than the spiritual loveliness o IWeu. U nfortunatcly for him, lie had not yet ru the g auntlets of her caprices, for finding hi ntten tions about to be transferred to Mrs, Morglin the provoking girl chosa to bejeal ous. She followed him from room to room dogged him in tho entries and waylaid him in thn mservalorv. picture galleries and all other lo vo-making nooks.

LITTLE JIII1XXYS ESSAY OX COHXs. Corns are of two kinds yegtablo nnd an imal. Yegtablo corn grows in rows ; animal corn grows on toes. There are several kinds of rorn; there is the unicorn, Capricorn com dodgers field corn, and the corn which is the corn you most feel. It is said, I be leive, uuu gopuers use corn; uui persons having corns do no liko to "go fur" if they can help it. Corns have kernels, and some Colnels have corns. Vegtable corns grow ou ears, but animal corns grow on the leet at me cnu oi me oouy. Anomer xinu of corn Is the acorn j these kind grow on oaks, but there is no hoar about the corn. Tho corn ts a corn witli an Iqdffinite arti- cle indeed, Try it and see. Many n mau whn he has a corn wishes it was an acorn. Folks that bav? corn sometimes send for doctor, aud, if the doctor himself is corned be probably won't do so well as if he isn't The doctor says corns are produced from tight boots aud shoes, which is probably the reason why, when a man is tight they say ho is corned. Jlf a man farmer manages well, ho can get a good deal of corn on an acre, but I know of a farmer who hn b corn that makes the biggest acre on his farm. Tho bigger crop of vegtable corn a man raises tho better bo likes it; but the bigger crop of animal corn,the better he does not like it, Another kind of corn is the corn dodger, The way it is made is very simple, and is us follows that is If you want to know: You go along the street aud meet a man yon know has acorn and a roiieh character: then you step on the loe that has a corn on it, and sea if you don't have an occasion to do'lKf. t t , , Ansner This- !

PECULIARITIES OF "YELLOW JACK." Sinco tho beginning of the eighteenth, cen' tury seamen liavo had occasion to notico that sometimes, after a visit to ceitnin ports iu West Indies or in Central or South Amen ca, a mysterious something has entered their ships, a something which may in a few days turn tho vcssoll into a floating pcst-hotic, or which may show no signs of its picscnce for days or weeks, and yet at the end of tho voy ago may promptly destroy a stranger cntiring tho hold ; which might attack all the pnifors sleeping ou ono aiilu of tbo shin and leave the lest unharmed, in short an invisible, impalpable entity presenting so many pecu liarities iu its results that it was the most nat ural thing in the world to imnginoit as bcipp endowed witli tho attributes of purpose and will, and to speak of it ns 'Hronzc John' or 'Yellow Jack,' This tendency to personify yellow fever is strong among all who aro familiar with it, and physicians and nurses who havo hsd much experience of its vagaries often speak of them, and of Yellow Jack, in much the same terms as they would speak of a highly disreputable but vrry interesting acquain taoce, a wwt of llohemian among diseases Its courso in a city has been compared to that of a tax collector passing from hou-c to house aloug a slreet, often only one side of a street It is usually stopped by prison or convent walis, somelitucs affecting but a few squares, aim again iiuvnupnij iu a to uuu uuu hi , i ;.. -i. r the most tcrriblo ol epidemics. Wo have no reliable information as to the origin of yellow lever in time or space. The majority of specific, contagious, or ltiftetious diseases such as plague, small-pox, measles, scarlatina, cholera, etc.. can bo traced with more or less piccision to Asia as a starling point ; but Yellow Jack has no such history. His prcenco is first distinctly recognized in the West Indies about 1090, prior to which date there is no satisfactory evidence of the' existence in theso islands of a pcstilcuco pre- senting its peculiar symptoms, and harmless to the natives whilo fatal to the unacclima- ted. It is tho intertropical Atlantic pestilence, j"ft as cholera is that of India, or the plague tlmr. of Eirvi.t and Mosnnntamia. It is a that of Egypt and Mesopot; specific disease due to specific cause, a cause which can bo picked away in a closet or bureau, and be preserved for months ; or which may be carried in ship, or in a trunk of clothing for hundreds of miles retaining its specific powers. Many of its phenomena can at present only be explained on the as sumption that this causo is either itself ca pable of growth and reproduction outsido tho bodies of 'he sick, or that it is tho product of something which has these qualities. In other words, the causo may be a minute or- ganism, somewhat like tho yeast-plant ; or it may be the product of sucli an organism, like alcohol, hither ot these may he cotn- prchended under what is known as the germ theory. II the causo is an organism which itself enters the human body and multiplies there, it must exist in more than one form ; and in the form in which it usually exists iu the human body is not capable ol' passing di rectly to another person. It is presumed that it usually enters the body through tho respiratory process, and a period of from one to ten days elapso before the charactcristies phedamena of tho diseaso appear. This is known as the period ol incubation. the caue of the disease lias a self-limited period of existence, and this period is cDmpatativc ly short if it is freely exposed to tho exter- nal air In tbo W est India Islands the di- ease di.-appcats at various ports for many yeats, and only reappears on a frc-h reimpot tation of tho cause Dr. John ,S Inlhngi on the Ytllow Verer in the International licview for January, 1S&0, AX UKIENTAL EXECUTRIX.
