It would puzzle the worst of her sex to keep the pact) you have been going the past five years ? Who are you, I say, that you should judge her?" "Merely the man whom you would have her marry," said his nephew, twist ing his heavy mustacho caressingly. "Similarity of tastes in the pursuits you have so aptly mentioned, ought certainly to render us mutually forbearing, but would hardly conduce to tho moral im provement of either. At all events, I respectfully decline to put the matter to a test." "You aro ungrateful, mi!" exclaimed the old man, pausing in his tramp and confronting his nephew. "Ilavo I no claims upon your gratitude, after all the care and money expended upon you these years ?" A slow Hush rcse to the ycuug man's eheek.and the sleepy, dark eyes gained a slumbering fire as he drew himself to the full height of his six feet.

"Why, yes.in a little while," answered the old man, "lie so kind, then," and Jack became immediately immersed in tho stock col umns of tho morning paper. For half an hour thero was silence bo tweeu tho pair. Then tho old clerk handed tho young man a slip of paper. "You aro quite sure it covers all T' "Yes. Mr. Howard always had your account keptjiopurate, for somo reason, and I had ouly to run over tho totals." Howard sauntered into his broker's private office, tho slip of paper in his vest pocket. "Mr. MoEbry, sell out my Chrysolite at onco and placo tho proceeds, less brokerage, to ray credit at Brown Brothers." "But, Mr. Howard, stoolcB aro lislng, and Chrysolite Is at tlio head of too list, and going steadily up, I would adviao holding on."

An hour had passed. Tho uneven road had given plaeo to a snowy trail, over which tho wheels cruuehed viciously., The wind came rushing over the plain with a hoarse, vindictive scream,and the air was white with snow that cut .the faco savagely. The hordes were laboring heavily through tho low drifts which had begun to fill tho trail. Tho West range hail disappeared from view. The driver's faco was dark and troubled. "lly George! ono deserves a fortune for overcoming tho difllculties ho meets with in reaching Lcadville, setting asido those that await him there," growled Grant. "Hut when tho ICldorado is reached and tho fortune won, and that littlo homo and sweet Kate Sheldon gained, how slight the hardships will seem then," said Jack. His companion brightened visibly. "That is pretty well assured already, Jack. I gp into the firm when I return, and Kate told mo when wo parted that alio didn't think that alio could let mo go again. So, Le&dvillo or no Leadville, happiness awaits my return. I wish that I could feel tho same good fortune was in store for you dear old fellow."

How to Prevent Ilrnwniiig An EnglMi gentleman has lately pub libhed in Nntuivavaluablc letter h'owiug lio w persons whollyiguonint of swimming may keep tliemselves alloal iu tlie water for a considerable spaco of time and with very little exertion. Tho subject ispartic ulaily timely just now when tho summer excursion season is beginning a season always marked by many accidents to steam and sail craft. This method of preventing drowning described in tho letter in question, is one understood by all swimmers, but, unfortunately, known to few people who cannot swim, ami is what is called "treading water." All animals practice it instinclivelv. A cat, dog, horse or cow finding itself out of its depth has no difficulty in keeping its head above the surface by making nearly Ihe same motion it makts iu walking; while a man who cannot swim throws up his arms, makes a few spasmodic mo tions and drowns. Yet the brute has no advantage over the man iu the water. On the contrary tho advantago of physical conformation is with the man, for his hands and foet aro admirably shaped, to act as paiuues aim Keep mm alioat. 1. tic human body is a littlo lighter than, the quantity of water it displaces, and consequently some portion of it will keep above tho surface iu accordance with the law ot specitiq gravity. All that is necessary to do to, pspapc drowning is to manage the hands and feet so that this portion shall bo tlio head, If the arms are kept under water tho head can bo kopt up, but if tlio arms aro thrown up tho head coca under. Swimmint! requires practice and confidence, and is at) art few acquire! but every man, wom an, and child that can walk on land, can tread wter without any prior instruction or practice. It is only necessary to move tho hands and feet up and down alternately, tho, right hand and foot com ing up while the loft hand anil foot aro comir down. Tho motion is not nar- ticularly fatiguing, and may bo kept up lor u long time witnoui prouuemg ex haustion. If rest is required, it is onlv needful to close the mouth and throw the head well back in tho water in order to iloat without any motion of tho hands or teet. While no instruction is required to tread water, it would bo a good plan to uraiun; .ivuusiuiucii m Keeping tno uouy afloat in this way, in order to overcome th) fee'ing of terror which people who cauuotjBwim experience on being thrown into tho water by an accident. A tank of water of sufficient depth would an swer for practice. Tho swimming schools wpuiu uo well to altord lucilitiea for treading water to persons who do uot do siro to tako a course of swimmim? les sous. A few experiments would bo stifli- cient to give them tho sense of ability to iuko care oi inemseives m deep water, which is all that is necessary for suioiy. 1 ho position of a person who treads water is safer and easier than the spraw ling attitude assumed in swimming. Tho difference betweeu tho two acts is that to swim is to propel the body through the water by vigorous movements, while to tread water is merely to support it by gentle movements in an upright position uo ns io Keep tno neau in tno air.

CnrinV.tipa. of Ire In IMf.O, Mr. Kiiradiiy discovered that two pieces of ieo placed in e.intact froze together nliftost instantly. jHr.

Ho threw lutii a vessel full of water several small pieces of Sue. They floated pn tho suifaco of tho water. The moment one piece touched another theie was an instantaneous, refruezing, At traction soon brought all tho pieces iu contact so that in an instant an ice chain was formed. An ico wheel turning on a surface of Ice refreezes at tho point of contact; dur ing tho rotation a series of cracks aio heard, which show the, car that successive rofreezings aro constantly taking place. The phenomenon of rcfroe.ing is easily explained. At tho surface of a piece ot ice the atoms, which are no longer in equilibrium on tho outside, tend to leave their neighbors, as it happens iu boiling or evaporation. Melting ensues, lint if two pieces of ice aro brought together, the atoms on the, sui faco are restored to their equilibrium, the attractive attention becomes what it wa, tho atoms resume their relations with their neighbors and juxtaposition ensues. Iu consequence of this property ico is endowed with singu lar ulasticity. A rope iand ,a knot or buckle may bo made of. ice. It may be molded. Tho school-boy who fills his hands with snow and compresses it into a ball produces the phenomenon nf rn- treezing.aud forms an, ico ball sutlieiently hard to be a dangerous projectile. This explains the extriioidinary ligid itv of the bridges of snow which am of ten seen in tho Alps suspended oyer deep crevices. J he Alpine, guides, by cm tiotiKly walking on theso snowy masses, freeze the particles together and trans form the -now into ice. If snow be compressed in molds, ice statuettes may be obtained. Fill a hollow bull with snow, pressed in as hard as possible, and vou mav obtain ice ballsndmirably trans lucid. Nothing would be easier than to dine with a service made of molded snowpl-ates, glasses, dt canters, all of snow. A gentleman in Paris, recently ..... i . t . . . i i-. . ..I., t seivcci Mioirv wiiii' io ins iiietnis iieiore a hot lire in brakei's made ol snow. .Snow compressed in ibis way does not melt so rapidly as might bo thought. Ice requires a gieat deal ot heat before it melts. A layer of ico often becomes a protection against cold. If you would prevent anything from sinking to a tern peraturo below thirty-two degreesdinitig the verv severest frosts, we know you have but to wrap it iu wet rags. The irocess ot ireezing gives to tlie environ ing bodies fill tho heat necessary to de- stiviy it. The water iu Ihe rags slowlv lointa small pieces ot ice on tlio rii!;, and in the meantime disengages heat, which warms tlie object wrapped in tho rags. a treo wrapped in rags, or m moss saturated with water, does not freeze, even when the thermometer is several degrees below tho freezing point. The slowness with which ico melts is wed known. During the winter of 17-10 the Czar built at St. Petersburg, a magnifi cent palaco of ice. which lasted several years. Since then cannons of ice have been loaded with balls and fired. Thev were fired ten times without bursting. It is consequently indisputable that ice melts slowly, and may bo turned to good account in the polar regions. In Siberia, tho windows have panes of ice. The re markable property with which particles of ico aro endowed of inoldiilgthems-elves into different shapes by refreezing, easily explains how glaciers make their way through narrow gorges and expand in valleys. The ico is broken into frag- mfcnts, which refreeze whenever they touch.
