BY HELEN LUQUEER. "It is your own fault, Edmund," said Mrs. Latimer to her son, who was pac ing to and fro tho little sitting-room of their cottago home in tho suburbs of a . !. ,,-Vr t wusiurn city. "lira navo inuuigca your vain, selfish wife in every whim, and the result of her oxtravaganco and you recklessness in speculation has been your nun. "xou aro very hard on me, mother I como to you with ray trouble, as I used when a boy, hoping for tho old sympathies and advice, but receive only biamo ana nam words. "I shall not always harp upon this disagreeblo subject, my son ; but before I can give counsel I must make you sco with ray eyes all tho errors of your past life. My sympathies " bue paused, and there was tho trem ble of tears in her voico as she glanced up into the handsome brown oyes of her son. The look brought him to her sido ; and they sat in close confidence, with hand clasped in hand, and talked of the fortune lost, the beautiful home seized by creditors, and of their sad fu ture prospects. "Vou will accept Unclo Jeptha Pod ham's proposition !" said Mrs. Latimer at last. "With all the conditions mother! You know that would bo impossible 1" he replied. "How impossible! questioned his mother. "You surely understand what Uncle Jeptha says V Then taking up a letter she read : " 'If my nephew be still silicic, and with untramniflcd affections, I will pay him a liberal salary to travel with me as courier, companion and friend. I shall expect him to take entire ehargo of my tiuaneial matters, and to devote himself entirely to me for tho remain der of my life. And in addition to tho regular salary, I will bind myself to leave him, at my death, my entire es tate, amounting to several hundred thousand dollars.' "Well," continued Mrs. Latimer. when sho had finished reading, "there is no reason upon earth why Mary should not relinquish all claim upon you during tho remainder of your uncle's life. "You cannot mean that I shall di vorce myself from my wife ?" "Only while it is necessary for your interests You know Mary's require ments, and that you aro left with only your hands to supply them." "Yes, and henceforth ray life would bo that of a dog!" "There is no disguising tho fact, Ed mund, that you and Mary at tho best are not happy together." The young husband groaned, and his baudsome head fell upon his hand. At that moment the conversation was in terrupted by tho cutrance of another. It was a rather stout, black eyed, rosy young person, dashing in manner, her rich silk robo trailing over the modest, ingrain carpet. With a heavy sigh she threw herself into a seat and fixed contemptuous glances upon moth er and son. "I should hko to know," sho ques tioned, "how long wo are to remain hero pensioners upon tho bounty of Mrs. Latimer while you do nothing, Edmund!" Ho made known the proposition of his uncle to her, and sho responded : "You will of course accept it!" "And livo a lie !" "I havo no potienco with sentiment where ono's bread is concerned !" sho nnawered haughtily nml with curling lip. "You give your services to that old, nccentrio unolo nntrammoled 1 Then, for goodness sake, go 1 I release you for tho natural term of tho old innn's life, so you send mo money enough to keep me from pauperism, and share with mo the fortuuo when it becomes yours." "Mary, think again 1 We must sop nrate, to all intents ami purposes, for years." "Very well as I told you before, I would not givo a rush for sentiment if it stood between myself aud advance ment or a fortune." There was little moro argument need ed i and silencing every scruple, young Latimer wont forth, as Mary said, to seek his fortune it having been ar ranged that his wifo should remain with his mother, whore she should re celvo means to beautify tho plaoo and for her support which moant half tho year in travel, or at some fashionable resort. In due timo Edmund Latimer found himself in an Eastern oily, face to faoo with ft. gonial, gouty, red-faced old fel low, who was ns occeutrio iu dress as in person. He carried a ponderous, gold-headed cane, which he wielded Hko a soeptre, and with it emphasised all ho said. "So, Edmund, my boy, tho women hain't roped vou in vet. blast 'em I Thoy, liko the apostles, aro fishers of nnn .' n.wl li.i t. ......!. 1.1.. 1.1 I i ...v.., uitu iiu uiuufiui ins juiii-neaiieu stick dowu with a thump, and laughed dy, nn he continued : "1 want to get : to England am sick of this country. Do you know why I sent for you! Well, I had n secrctaty who was liko n son to me, and ho had to up and dio with consumption I" and down camo tho cano again, whilo bo winked tho tears out of his little, sunny, bluo oyes. "And I said to myself, 'I'odliam, you're a helpless old hulk, too restless to rot out in port, but must needs keep afloat, and you'vo got to hnvo a strong hand at tho helm.' So, like an inspira tion, you camo to my mind. I hadn't seen ono of you for'tcn years) and I said to myself, 'Edmund must bo seven and twentyt and if ho hasn't been a fool end fallen in love, or married, ho's my boyl"' "You are very kindinclol'' stam mered Latimer, with n genuine blush of shamd dyeing his checks. "Now I can't nbido any fiddlo-dc-dec, lovesick nonsense, my lad I and ns we travel about from Dan to Beersheba, ybu'll sen lots of them giggling young critters, and you'ro to steer clear of em I Edmund forced a laugh, as ho repli ed : "Trust me, uncle 1 I am dead to all that kind of weakness 1" "Been bit, havo you, hey ! ' chuckled the old man. "I am free, to coufess I have, and am dono with tho sex called fair." "Give us your hand on that.my boyl" and down camo tho cano with unusual emphasis. Tlio next outward bound steamer convoyed away old Jenthn Podhara and his nephew, Edmund Latimer. "As wo haven't anybody to wave handkerchiefs to, Ned, if you'll help mo down below, I'll turn in and get somo rest 1" said tho old man, as thoy steamed out of the harbor. Accordhierly tho old Gentleman did not eeo any of tho passengers until tho next day. Then, as ho was taking n turn on tho deck, leaning upon tho arm of his nephow, ho ran against a tall, gaunt man, in an invalid chair, whoso servant was attempting to make him comfortable by winding him up in in numerable wraps. "Zounds ! ray foot 1" exclaimed Pod ham. "Why, bless my soul, if it isn't Martin Dinsmoro I" and tho next in stant the two were shaking hands,amid ejaculations and questions without number. "Ave you alone, Martin !" wns asked. "No, Jeptha: Itosa and her maid aro with me." "You don't say liltlo Rosa is here ! sho and I aro old lovers 1" laughed Podhara. "Y'es j I wanted her to come on deck ; but she is seasick, and wouldn't." "But she must 1" exclaimed Padkara. "Here, Edmund, you go down and bring the child up!" His nephew at onco went below, and to his amaxementjfound a lovely young lady, heavy eyed and pale, curled up on a sofa, her maid batliing her golden head with cologne. The situation was extremely awkward for Edmund ; but he managed to introduce himself; and, with the assistance of her father's valet, soon made her comprehend tho state of affairs on deck, and the mandate "of her old friend Podham. Sho signified her willingness to bo transported! and robed in soft furs and shawls, sho leaned upon tho arm of Latimer, and ascended to tho deck tho valet and maid following with arm fuls of cushions. "Bless my soul!" exclaimed Podham ; "this isn't tho child that sailed with mo down the Nile four years airo ! Whv didn't you stay little! you know I hate yountr ladies 1" "Nevertheless you won't hate mo for tho sake of ould lang syne," she au swered, with a pretty laugh aud smil ing blue oyes. "J3ut vou must nut mo down somowhore, for my poor head swims about liko a top." A he old fellow gallantly placod hor iu u buvuuiuu (lupiuuu, mum nor cusu ions, and sat down b"sido her. to eroa sip of old times, with his friend Martin in close proximity, whero ho could now and then put in a word between his paroxisms of coughing while Edmund lounged at a little distance, in a tiraco- ful attitude, tsmokincr his citrar and musing. Tho two old men, Podham and Dins moro, talked of their boyhood davs of their early manhood and their is for tho futuro while tho sun- tipped lashes drooped over tho azure eyt s, ns the golden head rested upon the soft cushions in unconscious slum ber-, and as Edmund sauntered by them, ho took in the pictured loveliness of tho girl, ns ono would a gem of somo art collection. "I ivo years aco," ho thoucht. "mv heart would havo warmed at tho sight of such innooenco and beauty! but now I can safely say, that, even if wero honorable in mo to think of such a thing, 1 am proof against every cuurin.' After a lone discussion of their plans. it was agreed by tho old gentlemen that their parties should travel toe-ethers and, for tho sako of tho consumptive Dinsmore.spend tho summer in France, winter in Egypt, and again try tho uoih mo on too is lie. Accordingly Edmund found enouch of care to occupv his entire time nnd attention tho helplessness of tho two old men, a dellcato female, tho two valets, and tho lady s maid. As thoy journod from point to point, Edmund frequently received dispatches from home, and Kosa noticed that, in stead of clieerinir him. thov produced fits of melnnoholy, which old Podham designated as "tlio dumps. Upon ono occasion, whilo waitinir at Alexandria for tho proper outfit for their journey, a letter cniuo j and tor tho remainder of tho day Edmund was silent nnd sad ; and though ho piloted the party upon a round of Bight-seeing, and boro patiently tho irritability of his uncle, aud tho delays caused by tho feobleness of Mr. Dinsinore, yet ho was preoccupied ami reserved, ins manner toward Itosa was courtoous and ofton genial, but soeininulv devoid of nil sentiment, much to tho delight of unclo Jeptha, who secretly applauded his good seuso nnd strength of mind. But as they wero Blnndlng together lu ono of tho temples, erscted to some forgotten god, waiting for tlio old men to rest in a shaded nook, attended by muir vuieiB, sue mild ; tmr- t . v iur. jjaumer, l wonuer n you aro not homo-sick! "Why '" "You always grow sad and unsocial when VOU rt'L't'lvn lmnin tin 11 a ' "It is said that homo is whero tho 5, 1883. heart is," ho replied, bitterly j "and as, just now, Unolo Jeptha possesses n goodly share of mine. I ought not to lino for tho homo that is at this timo ocked in tho ioy arms of winter.'' "L should not wish to exchange Egypt for Now York, but I am longing to commence our Nile journoy. Thon I will gather by tho way lotus blossoms for your pillow." "1 would that thoy might indeed possess, not only the forgctfulness of sorrow, but of sin. Then I should owo you a lasting debt of gratitude. Ho spoke bitterly, and tho girl look ed up at him with surprised, question ing oyes ; and then, with a littlo ripple of laughter, sho replied : "Uno would thiuk you wero an cs- capod convict, Mr. Latimorl" "You have gucssod it. 1 feel as if I wero indeed n fugitive from juctice." "A do not understand your meaning, was simply ioking, and vou nro almost .fiercely in earnest." Alas I l think I was bewailing tho tendency of life's tido to drift us into wrong currents, isut hero como the patriarchs of our party. Forget, Uosa, that I am anything but a dreaming misanthrope, out of which your lotus blossoms arc to bring me into tho Ely sium of forgelfulness." Alter this conversation, by her quiok, womanly intuition, Rosa came to know that Bomo secret sorrow or anxiety was iressmg heavily upon tho heart of her ;riend : and from that hour bIio gave him that tender sympathy which is so near akin to a dearer relation. But could sho havo known of tho miserable tidings which thoso de spatches from his mother brought to Edmund Latimer of tho perfidy of his wife of her quickly drifting to tho bad of her loatbsomo vioo of hebrioty of alb tho dismal tales of er fall, her pity would havo been great indeed. "You know, said ono of the letters. how often I cautioned you about per mitting Mary to have alo and wine so treely I Hut you either would not lis ten, or elso were too weak to cope with tho will of that wretched woman 1 I asttiro you her career has been swiftly downward a disgrace to our name and her sex. Sho has forfeited all claim upon your lovo or respect, and is now where she should ever remain, in an asylum for such wrecks placed there, heaven be thanked I by her own family. You havo simply to regard her as dead to you." All the dajs thoy drifted on tho Nile, or wandered amid tho ruined greatness, the haunting vision of tho woman ho bad loved and promised to protect, never left Edmund Latimer. In her dashing, imperious girlhood, or as tho selfish, money-loving, wine-bibbing, heartless wife, until he grew pale and wretched, sho seemed ever before him. And over and over again ho was upon tho point of telling his uncle everything though tho affectionate regard and needs oi the good old gentlemen caused him to refrain. So they drifted on through tho win ter, and out of Egypt, through sunny Italy, into a little aud beautiful Swiss valley. Thero the old friends, Podham and Diusmore, took cottages, side by side, and with gardens joining each other. Over tho rude, stone fence, which divided them,clambered fruit and vines, making a green iiedge, through which opened a little gate; and into this tangled mazo of bloom was daily wheeled tho arm chair of the fast-fail ing invalid father of Itosa Dinsinore, And in tins peaceful spot Edmund Latimer had in reality found his lotus blossoms. At least ho had accepted the condition of things, with philoso phy, if not patience ; and so he dream ed away the summer days in tho dan gerously sweet companionship of i pure, white womanhood, such as Rosa daily demonstrated. Ho was content to livo thus, with eyes sealed to certain probabilities which time must bring. Together ho and Itosa climbed Al pino heights, or read sonnets beneath some verdant shade, with Uncle Jep tha as apparently blind to tho danger of such intercourse as any male. He perhaps thought his nephow proof against sueti charms as youth, a lily, anu rose-uiootumg lace, with golden tresses, a sylph liko form, and a. voico of wonder sweetness. At all events life went on und'tsturb cd in tho two cottages, until ono dav old Mr. Dinsmoro coughed himself into n hemorrhage, whose red tido floated the good, old, loving soul out of the world. 1 hen thero was great consternation in the littlo Swiss cottage. Rosa lav prostrate for a time, with grief at her oss, but with her hand closo clasped in mat oi .lepum rodtiam, who (do simo ins expressed hatred ot the sex had tenderly elected himself to tho position of parent to tho bereaved trirl, When the day had ended she arose, with tho conviction that sho had in dulged in useless grief sufficiently long, nnd her duty lay now with the kind old man who loved her. and who would henceforth caro for her until she could bo pliced with somo distaut kin dred of whom sho know very littlo, "Unolo Jeptha," said she, smiling sauiy mrougti nor tears, "you aro very weary. ym y0U not go homo T J,,et mo walk with you ! Tho air will do mo iir:n . - - nnnd I' With tho help of his cano and her arm, thoy traversed tlio distanco bo tween the cottages, and at tho door of his homo Rosa put up her prettv Hps and received his good-night kiss." " Edmund was attending to tho neces sities for tho interment of her father, and consequently sho was left nlonn with her two servants. Tho brav girl dismissed them for rest, intendln to Keep ner wearv viml n one. part of tho ttmo sho sat by tho dead or in tho deep erabrasuro of the win dow of tho little Bitting-room, looking out upon uiu moon-iigutcd garden.

Raising her pale faco toword tho kind, sympathiz ing ono ocnuing over ncr, mo noou gates of her sorrow opened wide, and with a burst of uncontroliaulo grief she bemoaned her loss. "Oh 1 why could my dear father not have been spared to mo! I loved him so well, nnd ho was all 1 had in tho wido world to lovo or caro for me !'' Tho pallid face, the raining tears and drooping attitude, all appealed to tho most tenders sentiments of her com panion's heart. Forgotten wero his often-registered vows. A11 of tho past, with its hideous fetters, seemed to glide into oblivion as ho endeavored to comfort tho orphaned girl. Tender ly ho clasped her to his heart ; tender ly he breathed into tho littlo ear, that lay upon his breast, words that should havo blistered his tongue I Again and again ho told how lie loved her how ho had grown to livo only in hor pres ence whilo away from her his lifo was a blank. Again nnd again, in tho rapture of emotion, ho kissed tho gold- head that reposed bo trustingly above his heart. Then ho stooped to tho lips ; and iu that loving kiss ho promised that his affection should bo deathless that his care of her should bo life-long and nil absorbing. At that moment a strange sound, liko low, gurgling, hideous laughter, broko tho silence of the room, and ichoed through the little passage and above the cold form of tho dead. Then, if somo horrible vision, from re gions of the lost, had broken in upon the happy scene, to curse and call the perjured soul of the lover to account, camo tho fearful sound again. Tho lovers started trom each other s arms to be confronted by the face of a woman, who stood in tho garden be neath tho window, her arms resting upon the sill, her bloated faco lighted up by tho wax tapers upon tho man tel. Edmund staggered back at the sight of that face the girl clinging to him in terror. T lio black eyes Hashed upon them from above tho puffy' cheeks out of which all traces of beauty, or even comeliness, had been washed by dissipation nnd again the mocking laughter pretaced words that were as tho blasting hiss of somo poi sonous serpent. "ijo 1 It is as 1 thought, lidmund Latimer!

Then tho passion ot tho woman broko through all bounds. Sho shook her tists at them, and launched oaths and imprecations that pierced the white soul of Rosa as with a knifo ; she Iponred out abuse and threats j but in the very in dst of her towering anger sho reeled and fell, clutching at tno air with her nerveless hands.

All lood should be amy mastica ted beforo it bo swallowad. 7. Tho quantity of drinks should always bo proportioned to that of sol id food. 8. No drink should be taken until , a due proportion of solid food has been swallowed. 9. A varietyof dishes ought not to bo eaten at the samo time. 10. It will bo advisablo to refrain from a meal (dinner) once a week, par ticularly when tho body seems to re quire less food. 11. Uodtly exerciso should be no managed onco a day as to excite tho natural heat (glow), and before a meal. The advantages resulting from such practice are thus described ' by Fulgentius : "Exerciso," says ho "contributes to tho preservation of human life. It dissipates all super fluous humors of a plethorio habit ; it invigoratas our faculties ; it is a gain of time i tho enemy of idleness t the of the young and the delight of tho ngod. For exerciso disengages and expels through the pores all superflu ous humors ; while the greatest inju ies result from a contrary conduct. For indolenco is generally attended with dissolution," 12. In taking food, liquids and soft substances ought to precede thoso of a dry and solid nature. is. lietwecn solid meats, botn solid aud liquid food should be avoided. 14 The bowels should be regular every day, either by nature or by arti- hcial means. 15. Extremes of heat and cold, with respect to food, drink and air, are equally to be guarded against lb. sleep ought not to continue less than six hours, nor exceed eight 17. Immediately after a meal, ana with a full stomach, it is hurtful to engage in reading, writing or deep re flections. 18. Violent exercise, shortly after a meal ought always to be avoided. In- When tho body is in a a languid state, all tho limbs should be vigor ously stretched. 20. Drink should never bo taken on an empty stomach ; as in that case, it cannot fail to prove exceedingly hurt ful, by agitating tho nerves. Ualen says, iu tho second aphorism, 21, if a hungry person drink wine before be eat, be will speedily bo attaeked by spasms and delerious symptoms. Nor should wino bo taken (habitually) after meals, because it unnaturally accelleratcs tho digestion, propels the food before it is properly digested, and lays the founda- won ot oostructions auo. putridity. 21. Wine should never be taken lin moderately -, and it would bo advis- n 11 . o n mnnlt na .maolliln nlutnln uc ..,uu ..a .uojiuh. to abstain from its use, because it affects tho brain ; hence, no person of a weak organization should venture lo drink it, unless in small quantities or diluted.

(Jheese and all the artificial prep arations of milk ought to bo avoided : though pure milk, when mixed with sugar, may not be deemed unwholesomo during the summer. Milk aud water, or whey, is a salutary baverage at all seasons. 24.
