It is al most too good, too much to bclieva." Thus mused Adrian Yalle, as he strolled thror.gli the quiet stixetj of his "T.Ilive vilijg-e, the liiorulng utter his r- turn from a four years' wandorinjj iu Europe. Adrian was a yrnngf physician, an I he came home, the j-rouJ bearer of certain certil'icates of distinction, from one of the most celebrated medical colleges ia Taris. IIo was an only son, th pride of an tvg-ed Father, and doting mother. And well ho deserved tliis affection, both f,r his talents, of which he woe justly pvou l ; of l-.is hand some face, and fin.', ui tnly form, of h:3 in-dust-y, witiioat w'.iic'r tai msi gutol must lang.ii.a in o'jscurity, bui niijt of all for Lii kind, loving dispoLlLion, and tcuJer llOAll. As he walkeil alcr.g the: familiar street, the five yeax3 seemed but a day. The long rows of houses, embowered in their lovely groves of green shrubbery; every tree, even th,- djwy grass beneath h;jf----t, s-?e.a-ed the same h? had trod iive yv-:;:-s b.f.re. Anl wre t'.io icrauts of tlis2 Loaios changed ? Adrian hardly diuod asi h'xiself the qu.stien. There was onjliotn , anl ono invnt'? of tint home, whosj i nigj filljl ail Ids ti o.igiits of whom he had drear 1. 1 day an I night, and towards wliose dwelling lie was slowly dire, ti.i his stfs, with ming led feelings of fe-r, anxiety, and hrp?. Leila S -.iai.cr had be.n t'.ie idol of hia yui.Lh. Long before hs left Lotu', s'io hid given h'.m her saefel promise ti it no oLhjr man Coid 1 ever cJi h -r wiTe. As ha walked on toward tho be.m! Ifn'l cottage where she lived, lu wondered in liis heart if she wre changed. Hi left l.er a chill ; s'.i3 h i.l g'ren h:m her child's heart an. 1 rrpmUc. Aotdd the regard him the s.ime ? Ha l no other im age crept iiito Iter heart ? Ehj was a wom an now ; w.t3 tins out. vara ciiango all that awaited hint. . Almost before ha knew it, he was poind ing in front of the gate le.uling into Ool. S'lmner's gt o m Is. If j p lUjjd an 1 locked up the long ave nue, the vows of oir ,j.tic inapl'-s on either silo, the b-'uutitr.l evergreen hedge, the saioolh elvety lawn, the fr.i grant flower gudeii, the fe-unt iln, Si-arkdng and flish ing in the mom Lug sua, all exactly as lie had left it. The mcel:mg-birl ar.d yellow-winged canaric-P, Leila's pet birds, were hop. ing about in their br'ght-hued cages filling the air with their gay caroling-? ; the luxuriant rose and hoaejsuckle vines shaded the wi le piaz.za, wh ,-re he h.vl spent so many happy evenings with Leila. And would tdie knew him now ? sun browned and heavily bear dad as he was ? He opened the gate and walkjd rapidly up the graveled path towards the housj, juiit as a white-robed figure, slender and grocefulasa willow, flitted past tho low open win lo w. The next instant he stood, within the doorway, and a little brown silken heal lay on his shoulder, a blushing girli3a f ace was lifted shyly to his. The lovers met, after years of separation; and e.'.eh felt that the other's hoirt ws the Bime; time or absence had no power to change. Adrian was welcome! by CoL Sumner, in the same cordial, hear'y manner as of old ; heft id long looked upon him as a so.i. Time sped ou gilded wir.gs to the happy lovers, and each day seeinsd to reveal some new charm, some as yet undiscovered trait of mind or heart, which s?rve I to draw them nc.rer together, till tl.eir very exist ence seemed blended into one. Oh, this rosy-tinted, s Iver-line 1 cloud : "Love's yovtr.g dream," it envelopes all around, it hides all that is dark, it reflects its brightness so vividly on all that sur rounds us, that even the leaden soaibre Lued storm-cloud, is hidden for the time. About b'ix wnths P.fter Adrian's return . he received a letter from one of his class : mates, a young man who for a brief time had attended thestme courser of lectures i with himself, and was a graduate of thj same college in France, j liis name was De Vnnx, and though A Irian had only tnown him about a year lie greatly admired Lis t dent. 1 Socially, thore was about him a sort of mystery a rqicea, reserved manner, taouga we'd acquainted, caused a teeimg of d trust or suspicion, a something that ( seemed to say, ''I am acquainted with this . man, and yet I know nothing of him." j lie w.-ote Adrian tha.t he wished to visit 1 America, and remain a year, perhaps twt yeurs, or permanc-ntly if it suited him. He came, and receive ! a hearty w elcome. ; Adrian intro luci'd him to his friends. To Col. Sumner, who had traveled extensively, he proved a very ccng nial companion. He was a splendid chemist, and his rare research, and scientific knowledge of this magnificent branch alone, charmed and al most facinated the stately old gentleman. He became a constant visiter, anl a valued friend. He knew from the flrst of Adrian's be trothal to the beautiful Leila, but to all ap pearances be neVer thought of her, hardly noticed her presence, only to oViterve the usual forms of politeness. T'ut a close o'jserver would have noticed the dusky fed light that gleamed from be neath h'.s long black lash.s, when, believ ing himself unnoticed, he would sometimes allow his eyes to rest for a moment on the slentler, graceful, well-developed form, and bright piquant face of the lovely girl. As for Leila, she once remarked to Adrian that the sight of De Vau.t m-do her feel chilly, she declared she could think of noth ing but a serpent, ahateful crawling reptde, whenever she saw him, at which Adrian leoked horriGed, shook his head, and assured hei that she s idly misjudged his friend. . Col Sumner was an old fashioned gen tleman, and adhered stiictly to the rules of Isospitality. Tims it was that guests, whether their visit was of lo"ag, or short duration, never left hi3 house without receiving refresh ments. LeiK's presence was usu.dlj required, and on these occasion., De V..ax with true French politeness, wcali al.-.-ays present her a gloos of wine For mouths together De VaaT, would drive a-most daily with OsA Sumner, to whom hia soeLty seemed al.:.ejt indispen sable fo agreeable and f.iein.itjng could he render himself when lie those to do so. He seemed to m ur.t ii.i his extreme re serve ami reti.tom.f only co far as concerned his own iudiidu d affairs. A few months after De Van e's arrival, Adrian proposed to open an ofSce t:.g t"ier. Theme was but one physician in thexlaee, an aged man, atid n old friend of the family. He warmly seconded the wishes ed the youme; man's fatniiy and friends, that he should le.ixitii in lusuati.-e Iowa. Adrian consented willingly, for several reiiSons, the elnef of whi'di w is, that by so doing he could be near the object of his affection. De Vaux was a valu ible partner, and in a few months the two young pr irtition crs were aide to control considerable prac tice. Mouths passed of unalloyed happiness to the young lovers The time was set for the marriage, every prej ara'.R n was being made- for the wel ding, such as beSttcd the fair and beautiful bride. Hut as the days wore on, it was noticed that Lcil 1 grew pile, ner.ou, and res less. At firet this f-xc ited no alarm, but she con tinued to grow worse , she svmcd to lose all her sprightlinrss of manner, to grow thin and very pale She complained of great weakness and lassitude. Col. Sumner at last concluded to seek ad vice. Cut the family physician shook his head gravely, the attack seemed So sudden and rapid, and as remedy after remedy failed utterly, he was almost iu despair, and acknowledged that he wa3 co.npltely pnzJed. Adrian was greatly dijtresiod, as the symptoms continued to grow worse. De Vaux prepared a medicine to be taken three times aday, aud her father persuaded her to take it, though r,he complained of feeling weaker after each dose. What would these kind friends have done could they have known that this very mod icine which she had been taking for months in different w.tys, soiuetinie'S in wiue, and in other ways, tint this deadly po:son was t'.e whole cause of her illness. At last Leila was confined to her r.om, and most of the time to her bed. No one was allowed to see her but her father, Ae'rian, and the two physiciins. The family physician, Dr. Adams, contin ued to visit her though he felt that the ease wits- a hopeless one. In agony of mind, almost equal to doath, Adrian watched tie progress of the strange, unknown disease. It b.thled all their skill, and she liecame so changed that her intimate friends would scarcely have recognkod the once freJi, rosy, beautiful girl. It was plain to the distressel lover that he must give her np; the chirk angel Death had singled her out, and she could never wear bridal crown on earth. She was utterly unable to sleep without the aid of a powerful opiate. Thia Dr De Va- prepared and adminis tered. Under its .-duence she would sleep soundly all night, to wake nnretreshed in the morning, more wearied and weaker than before. One night her father, who had never left her beeUide all day, prepared to administer the usu.J medicine before leaving her for the night. He did not see Dj X aux, when, on mak ing hia naual daily visit a few hours before, adroitly in ana jo to exchan ye the lit M 'paper containing the opiate powder and i leave another in its place, more deadly and fatal in its eJect. Too weak to refuse, Leila swallowed the portion, and almost instantly sank into a deep sleep. Leaving her to the care of the nurse, a middle-aged woman who always slept in the room, CoL Sumner retired to hisroom. Ex tremely fatigued, he fell asleep almost be fore his head touched thj pillow. lie was awakened before daylight by the hurrying of feetj.a 1 unusual noise. Spring ing from his bed ho threw on his dressing gown and rashel out into the hall-. At the foot of the stairs he met Mrs. Clair, the nurse, who, with lit id fve and motionli lips, pointed towards tlie door of Leila's chamber. In an instant the aLirmed father was by the bedside. There lay his child, just as he had left het the night before, her lips and eyes half open ; the long silken hair hung down over the snowy pdlow, the face colorless as tho linen itself, lie raised the siight form, he shook anl tried to rouse her, all his eCort3 were useless he was dead. Col. Sumner, distracted with grief refus ed to see any one. To Adrian the b'OT was equally great Weak and sick in body and mind lie wan dered about like a lost spirit. About three d its, or the third night af ter Leila's buria , the b r j ived lover worn out with grief and lo ss of sleep, threw him self, all dresses!, on his bed and fell as'eep. He dreamed he was p using down the street and tV. it he s it Leila follow Di Vaux into his oiaee. He tried to go after her, but ti.e door w.us closed and fatene i thro igh which he h:il pa3-se-l. B it while he s ood look ing at the door the window of tho labora tory above his heal was raise! and the girl's white faee appear .1. With a will TleseocLing e-.Tpej.ssLou of bnth face an 1 mo tions .--he reached her t!:ui whitj Lanli to ward him and seo;m?d to wave or beckon hiia toward her. As bhe did so, De Va.ux, with a f. 0 black anl fierce with passion, grasped her by ih 5 shoul ier and drew her back. At the sauu Lutint ha awoke and sprang from the bed. Iu a moment his mind was cle ir, he knew he h id been asleep and dreaming. He sat ilov.-n in a largo arm-eli lir by tha open window and t-i'jitglit of hLs drea.a ; it was only a dream after all, but its e.Teet wi-j triple is tat. He thought of his l.ist brde, of his groat grief, till overcome 1 y emotion, he wept as only a strong man in the depths of s. first great sorrow c-111 we 'p. At last he grew calmer, aal nnxble to endure the silence of his chamber, h rose, pat on his hat and walked oat into the Ki l.'Ut street. Aa he stepped from the door the city clock struck two. Involuntarily, he took the rovd towards their olSee, and in a lew momenta stood be fore the door Looking up he was surprise I to 833 a light burning dimly in tiia windows of the laboratory. He stood gazing at the win low and . thinking of his dream when the shadow of a form passed between the window and the j "De Vaux up at this timo ?'' he thought. "I wonder ii' he is preparing to go out." I IIo pushed open the door, and walked up tlie thickly carpeted stdts. The door of the reception room stool open, and he p uo ed through, expecting to see Do Vaux, but ' he was not there; he laid his hand on the ' knob of the laboratory door, as he did so he was startled by a deep heavy groan; he listened a moment, what could it mean? ! Was his friend biek ? Ha-1 he a visitor or ' patient? If so it was a strange place for I them to be in. j He paused t. moment, hesitating whether or not to push open the door and go in. when the same deep sig iijg, almojt groan- 2 ing, struck Lis ear. Instantly his hand grasped the door han die. It turned, and the door softly opened ! a few inches What a sight met hia aston ished gaze Opposite the door, on a large table, originally intended for a dissecting ; ' table, lay the body of a young woman. I Over it stood De Vaux. He was chaun i . O I the thin wh.te hands, and murmuring in a low voice, word of tenderest endearment. Every moment he would stop, ami bending over tho still form, pre3 the moot 2aasion ate kisses on the pale white lips. He rais ed the beautiful h;a l to his shoulder, and straining the frail form to his breast, whis pered almost Eereely: "ISIy darLng ! coma back to life and love Oh, Leila, my own, my beautiful one, speak to ine, look at me." The eveUIs ouivere l.thetalo li-s moved. Stupefied, Adrian stool rooted to the spot. What could it mean ? Who was the dead j girl? The name Leila! What Le.la? ( How came she here ? Was Dr. De Vaux a ! grave robber, ws that the body of bis Lei- la? Dumb with horror and astonishment, he stood and gitzed through the partly open : ed door. j He was aroused by the faint sound of carriage-wheels. Do Vaux started; s.-izing a large heavy blanket, Ua co.ii.nem; ed wrap ping it around the stdl form. ' Fulling the parlor door softly together. Adrian pos3ed out, down ttalrs inu the street. The avenue was thickly sludded with trees, and moving back into the shadow ha stool stid and waited. The next moment a carriage drove up, and stopped before tha door. The driver got down, and putting his hand to his .'.ill, l-i - u;...i.. ,,qj ...... turned and opened thj earriaga door. I Adrian recognized tlie man. De Vaux appeared, c.u-rying in Lis arms something wrappel carefaWy in a large blanket and shawl. As he attempted to lift his burden into the carri g a part of the blanket fell back and revealed a face horror of horrors-, it wa indeed the pale, Lfele3S, dead faee of his lost L.ila. De Vaux laid it on the seat, got in himself and closed the door. Tlie carriage stui te 1 ani relied almost noiselessly away down the de3erted street. A Irian Voile &tood and gazed in bewild ered horror after the retreating vcldcle. The moment it paused out of sight he awoke from the benn:i:b-d stupor which had for tho moment ptralyzed Li3 whole beiig. Like a madman he ru shed up the street toward the residence ot Colonel Samaer. To aroujj the yrlef-stricken father and his whole household w.t3 his act. A few mo ments sufliced to expliin the cause of his great excitement. Colonel Sumn -r, h-tlf afiai 1 t'aat Adrian had lost his min 1, iu vde h iste to oSey hi ; directions. He ordered thr horses to be saddled, one for himself, a s con I for Adri an, and a third for a stout, mid lie aged man, who hal been a long time in his em ploy. To .ether tlie thfee went out in pursuit of the wretched man who had done them so great an injury. On the road they had time to discus and decide the best course to pttrsue. That De Vaux would attempt some desperate means of defense was no more than they expected. After about two hours good riding, they came in sight of the carriage. Luekily they h id not mistaken the road. Colonel Sumner, followed by the others, ro de up to the side of the carriage, and or let-ed the m in to stop. The niau obeytfcl. H aring the no.r3, De Vaux opened the window on the side next to them aul look ed out. Instantly comprehending Lis situ ation, he sprung to the opposite door, twist ed it pen, leaped to the ground anl .Lu ted into a tnickct oi' pines whieh grow close to the edge of the road. As he disappeared into t!i3 thi.ket he whirled saldeulyaud lire I two pistol shoU. One ballet hit Colonel Sa niter's horse, in dicting a wuid ne.ir t'ie shoulder, the oth er just grazed A-I-t 'k .-.ir.. anj eligat.ly singe I his h iir. Do Vaux was never seen a-aln. In the cirri ige thjy found Lrllai not dead, but abve, an i su.Eciently conscious to understand what hod happened. Though to all appearance deal when placed in the vault, she had never been entirely uaeon scious. De Vaux procured keys and took her from tho vault the night alter her buri d. From that lime he h id been continually adminis tering antidotes to the potion he had given her, and with perfect success. The poioou she had taken toward the last was not calculated to destroy life, but to ! suppress coaseiou j.ie ;s. They drove rapidly home, and sent for Dr. A lams, and in a few hours she was able to explain in some degree the horrors thro.igh which she had passed. Hut for weeks the spirit of the unfortu nate girl hovered on the verge of the grave. Gradually the d.sea3e yieldel to ju Melons treatment, and she regainel finally her health, buL it wa3 long before the was t'ie same br'ght, rosy, hijpy Leila, once the joy and delight of all who kuew her. But time Wings all things to pass, and a few mouths after t te supposed death of the expectant bride, th youug lo .-era met, and in the presence of a la. -go circl of kind friends, were joined iu that holy, sacred union; that real death alone can disunite.

Many eonlr.-Veri!e3 have at different times arisen concerning the comparative Value of me it and fish for, , and the utmost diversity of opiuirm has been expressed. Some economic writers maintain that fislt h is no fool-valu'i wrth. speaking of; others say that Gsh food raa.:t occupy a middle posit ion bet wee n vegetables and beef and mutton. Again, a le .rned autlrority say tliat fish, well cook jL with od or fat of some kind, or Served with butter when brought to table, "L; chemically the samo as butcher-meat, so for as nutrition is con cerned." Another writer says tliat fish, as food only fit for children and invalids, and is totally unfitted to support health and vigor of men or women engaged in la borious occupations. As u ual in such dis putes, we may hold that the truth lies be tween the two extremes. Many pe.q!3 follow ing ltborkv.u occupations, especially in Seotlaud, live largely ujon h. In that country, the fisherman themselves eat a considerable portion, aud, aa a class, fisher men are strong and healthy ; and the wives, wio undertake a part of the irtiu's work, are 6till stronger and healthier. In For tugoJ, fish fried in oil form a very large proportion of the fool of the population j their fish-diet is sujiplemented by a little bread and fruit, and although the peas antry of the bind never partake of flesh meat, yet they are a hardy, vigorous, and brave ptople. Let it be" retii ember ed that fish is a necessity of Lfe in Trance anl Spain, and as regards the latter country, a constant orginizitiou is at work in our own islands to supply it with many kinds cf cured fish.

Captain Boynton, the American itho jumped from an oeein steamdiip off the coast of Ireland, and swam thirty miles during one of the most terrific galea of the eeason, lias been giving so ue very success ful exhibitions of his swimming dress upon the Thames. Vast crowds of people line the banks of the river every time that he appears, and watch with the greatest in terest his movements in the wa..or. The cthr day he went down to Wapping OM Stairs and put on his swimming clothes, consisting of an india-rubber suit in two parts---oae covering tlie chest, arms and back of the heal ; theothe.' the legs and feet. This is put on over an ordinary suit. After being adjusted the pirts are indited by four tubes, and when full of air the weirer steps into the water without the slightest fear. Captain Boynton raised his nag, ate his lunch, read a book, blew a horn, and went through a variety of per formance to the great delight of the crowds ns-mibled upon London Bridge and along the bauks of the river. He was loud ly cheered. At Temple Stairs he came out for a moment's rest, without showing any tymptotn3 of fatigue, and 60on after plunged in again anl started for Putney.

The oocurrenc-J of sjkoiitoneous combustion has been denied by Casper, the eminent German medico jurist ; and M.-Chassaignol, of Paris, siini Lcrly denies its existence. Spontaneous com bustion was first noticed in 1G02 ; anLsInoe theu thefewcis es whieh have beenlrecorded decribed the phenomena as consisting in the presence of a blue l imlent fluue, of a peculiar odo, and of inflammable gases.
