A WE050 RIGHTED. 4,Of vchat is my little sister lliinkinfft "Methinks it ia of sonietliinp pleasant, ju Ip-inp liy the smiles that have been aoming and goin"; over her tell-tale face Tor the last few minutes." Madpe lixiked np with an expression of surprise in her soft brown eye. "Why, Claire, how lonf- hare yon been here! I thonpht you were still in ftoe parlor en tertaining Mr. Anstruther. Hasn't some one else lieen hearing something nice in-F-teail of thinking it?" with a mischievous einile at Claire. With a slight flush Claire answered: "It is always sweet to bpar the praises of one you love; and Ralph Anstrutiier would fain win tor bin own a certain rtirdden I know of. Can you guess who?" and the elder siMer lient and kissed the fair young eliek whose wild-rose pink had deejened into a i-Veber lint as Claire spoke. I thought it was yon be came to see, Claire; and I'm sorry if it is anyone else really and truly sorry for I don't care for him at all, excepting as a friend. Claire." with a sudden wonder in her tones, "tell me why it is that some girls have to hurt jieophi's feelings by saying 'No,' when some other real nice girl would be awful glad to say 'Year-" Then as Claire looked puzzled at her somewhat involved jvntence, she said, with a laugh that 6undod like & chime of sweet bells in her sister's ear: "I mean Claire, that it isn't fair that I should have had three ofl 'rs, and and A thought that jerhaps if she said any more she might wound Claire, stopped her. and she blushed and remained silent. For grxxl and even pretty as was the elder Fister, it was Madge alone who had proved the attractive one since she had grown to woman's estate, and as Claire's pa?.t was a closed leaf to her she had wondered at it. Tell me, dear, why are you 60 difficult to suit f Faid Claire. "Ig there tome one els" whom you liket" Mailcre"s head drooped, and her cheeks rivalled the red carnation ehe held in her hand. She hesitated; then with a sud den impulse she went to her sister and hid her face upon her shoulder, as the murmured : 'Oh, Ciuire, I do love some one else. and he does not even think of me. He ia too noble nnd grand to t-t.x.p to such a j eilly HMle. thing, lint I would willingly j die for him." j Who is it. little sister? IV. n't be afraid j to tell rne. Your secret will !e safe." I'.nt the calm face grew troubled as Madge whisjvered a name in her ear. It wa.s one which had once pounded like 6weetest music to her. But a cloud bail come lietween her and her handsome yoting lover for Rotert Fane was the one whom MadgtS had confessed to loving, and his had len the only voice which had ever whispered to Claire of love. And. ah. w hat a Jang it gave her now to think that Madge had taken a fancy to the same one. whose faithlessness had nearly broken her own heart. She schooled herself to answer calmly, but with an intense earnestness that startled Madge: Do not think of that man. little sister! He is not one who would mako you happy. Ho is false and fickle." Prove it," said Madge imjsulsi vely. "If you cannot. I will not liclieve it." Claire grew very pale, fihe hesitated. Then, with a determination to uproot all fancy for Robert Fane from her sister's heart, she commenced the story of her mvn past : 'Ten years ago I was just the age that you are now. Madge. I was as light hearted and as merry a girl as ever pang about the house while performing her diily duties. The world was all sunshine to me. and it did not Feem aa though a shallow could come across my path. But one did come in the guise or what seemed at first a great happiness, almost too gTcat frr a mortal to experience and ever lie willing to exchange earth for heaven. You think, little sister, I have lieen al ways the quiet, staid creature I am now. But I am as changed since the time of which I am al-out to speak as jon sky is from the glowing tints which colored it at sunset. Roliert and I were engaged to be married, when one day I rec-ived a short cold note fi-otn him saying that all was at an end between tis. The next day I heard that he had Failed for Europe. Do yon wonder that the light went out from my life, and that all seemed like & blank for a timet Then our mother died. anl in my grief at her loss, and in my endeavor to make up her p lace to you, I gradually found forge fulness of my pain." "Dil he give no reason for acting sot" asked Madge, with a ring of indignation in her clear young voice. "Nothing definite. He hinted at some discovery he had made; but as I had not the slightest clue aa to what he meant, I was none the wiser." "There must have lieen some treachery at work, or he would never have done such a thing. I am sure of it," exclaimed Madge, "and I am surprised at your re maining so quiescent aliout it. If I had lieen vnu I would have demanded an ex planation." "With the ocean rolling ltwern usf" asked Claire. "That would not have been ... - i I t v,.,, t, pofsioie; Kir ..i... . ....... mi where to direct P "Where there' a will there's a way," wai the decided answer. "But you were too pro'ld to do such a thing. I know you, sister mine j and one would little think how much pride ia hidden beneath that quiet exterior of yours." Claire smiled faintly, but sbe made no de-nia,l. She knew well that ehe would have died rather than show her suffering. But," and Madge looked puzzled, as a thought struck her. "Mr. Fane must have been very young when this occurred. Oh, Claire, I see it all! Yoa think I mean that qniet, dark, elderly man Robert's ancle. Why, sister, can it be that he ever had a romance connected with himf" To Claire, the elder Robert Fane was etill the one of all others in the whole world most fitted to win a maiden's heart, and as his young nephew had hardly at tracted a passing thought from her, it was not to be wondered at that she had made the mistake. But, to one of her reticent nature, it was a sore trial to think that she had revealed her heart a bitter secret needlessly. To save Madge one pang she would have made any sac rifice; but here her meditations were put to flight by the clasp of clinging arms and the pressure of tender kisses. "Claire, darling-, I know what you aae thinking of, but don't mind having told me. I'll love yon. all the more dearly for it, and I'll never, never tell." And Claire, after a time, felt happier for knowing that she had a confidante and sympathizer in her young sister. Madge kept htr word. Neither by word nor look did she ever refer to what bad passed between them until but we must not anticipate. One dark, stormy, night, when the ele ments seemed warring with one another as to whether wind or water should do the most damage to the earth, a ring came at the doiM of the Cedars at an hour well on to midnight. Claire had been trying to finish a deli cate piece of embroidery as a present for Madge on the anniversary of her birth, which came on the following day; so she was still in the sitting-room. The ser vants were prolmbly fast asleep, and for an instant Claire hesitated as to whether to call one of them, or to answer the ring herself at such an unusual hour. But she conquered the momentary timidity and lifted the heavy bolts from their place in the massive doorway, and in another instant stood framed in like a picture with a liackground of light which left her face in comparative shadow, which was well for her presence of mind, for she stood face to face with Robert Fane! A cold hand seemed grasping her heart with its icy fingers, ami she felt herself grow faint, but with a superhuman effort she regained command of her senses, and said, putting out her hand: "How do vou do. Robert t Is anvthintr wrong at the Hall!" romeining mat nas oeen wrong is 10 be righted," he said. There was a trem ble in his deep voics aa he spoke. "A woman is dying," he said, "and she calls for you in such piteous tones that I eould not refuse to come for you. It is Millicent Waters or rather the wreck of that once lieautiful creature. She came to my door in this dreadful storm, and in sisted on seeing me, saying she had im portant news to communicate ; and, Claire, it concerned you. There is much to for give. Will you come with met My car riage is waiting at the gate." Millicent Waters had lieen a schoolmate of Claire's. A wild, headstrong, but very lieautiful girl, she had disappeared sud denly from Woodville a short time after Claire's great trouble had come into her life, and since then nothing had lieen known of her whereabouts. Claire's heart was ever responsive to a call from any one in trouble; and in a brief space of time Fhe hail made her preparations to accompany Mr. Fane. She had not the slightest idea of what Millicent had to say to her, as in a kind of dream she seated herself beside her former lover. There was utter silence between them during the ride. Too great a gulf lay be tween their past and their present to be bridged over by the commonplace noth ings of society conversation. The housekeeer met them at the door with a white, shocked face, saying that shortly after Mr. Fane's departure the poor woman he had left in her care to be refreshed by rest and nourishment, had fallen into a swoon which seemed so like death that she thought it would surely end that way. "Tell Joseph to go for Dr. Gaston," was Mr. Fane's brief answer. Then he led Claire into the library where he had left Millicent. She was lying upon a sofa, upon which a pillow had been placed to supjioi tt her bead. In the wasted, sharply-outlined features little remained of he beauty which hud made her remarkable. Whatever harm had been done to her by this jioor, dying tsreature, she forgave her fully. Her only feeling was one of intense pity. As though her touch had aroused the waning einliers of life within the wasted frame, Millicent opened her eyes, and fixed them upon the tender, pj-inpnthetio face liendhig over her. (So yon have pome," she said faintly. "It is good, for now I can die in peace." Then she tinned her eyes upon Robert. "Tt was I who wrote that letter, and it was I who met James Oi-ant. He was my lover, and he hated you and wished to wreck your happiness. I borrowed some of Claire's clothes under a pretence of taking a pattern of them, and in the moonlight you could not tell the differ ence, as I was of an equal height with her. I do not expect to lie forgiven, but I must do even this tanly justice before I go to meet my offended Maker." Her words were a complete enigma to Claire, as Robert had made no explana tion of his conduct, thinking, in his hut anger, that Claire had la-en making a fool of him. and. of course. K ing guilty, would know that he had discovered the truth. "What does, she mean!" she asked wonderingly, turning to Roliert, who stood pale anil stern U-side her. "What letter does she speak of, nnd what lias James firant to do with my life? I do not understand." "It means that yon and I have leen the victims of a designing villain, and that yonder poor creatai-e was mule the instrument of carrying out his plans and of wrecking our happiness. I lielieved the letter she wrote me saying that you cared only for my money, and that, your love was given to another, and went to the spot designated by the writer, where she said you were to meet the one whom you really loved. Blind fool that I proved myself, to fall into a trap like that!" Claire's lips quivered, and her eyes filled with tears. She said gently: "I should have thought you would have uii'ler.-tiHxl my ':haracter better than to have thought th-it of me." When j.a!ou- has taken possession of man. reason vacates her throne. I was mad with anger and disappointment. For, Claire. I loved you with a consuming passion, and though I am hopeless of winning even a kind thought from you I love you stilL and have worshipped you all these long years, notwithstanding that I Itad a I thought) ocular proof -that you had been false to me." i i MillicenCs large black eyes, brilliant with feverish excitement, had wandered alternately from once face to the other, and with a woman's uneri'injf intuftion, she saw that Claire still ;Toved Robert Fane. With a con vnlsive effort she rose and went to the side of the. woman she hail wronged. "Love forgets all forgives all," he ud. "Is it not so?" ' Claire's fewoet face was crimson with blushe.s but her grqat eyes were lumi. nous with happy light. . " , She turned to Robert, who was watch ing her -with an eager, hopeful expression which bad long been absent from his face. She put out her hands with a timid ges ture. The next instant she was gathered to her lover's heart. "Nothing but death can oom between us now," he murmured. Again the ghastly pallor crept over Miliicent's face. She sank down again um the sofa. Claire disengaged herself from her lov er's embrace and went to her. "May od forgive you as freely as I do!" she whispered. And in pioxjf of her forgiveness, she touched her lijvs to the pale forehead. An upward look, grateful and earnest, rewarded her. It was the last flicker of life's expiring taper. Millicent had gone to meet her Judge. But a new life had opened out before the two she had so deeply wronged. When June's sweet roses unfolded their fragrant petals, a gay wedding-party as sembled at the Cedars to witness the in terchange of marriage vows lietween Claire and Madge and their chosen bride grooms Roliert Fane and his nephew and namesake. I. He and Heath. It is a curious study how near some people come to death, snd yet do not die "till their time cc mcs." ns the saying is.

Artificial Teeth st Prchlwtnrlc rrodnct Dr. Van Mnrter, of Rome, has pub lished nn interesting account of the evi dences discovered by him of prehistoric dentistry lu Italy. In the museum of Comelo Tarquinius, a city on the Mediter ranean coast, he found two specimens of ancient dentistry, which the Mayor of that city certifies were found upon the first Opening of the burled Etruscan tombs, and Professor Heilbig gives assurance that these were virgin tombs, dating back four or five centuries before the Christian era. In one of the specimens the two superior central incisors are bound by a band of very soft gold to teeth on either side ; the artificial teeth are well carved, evidently from the tooth of some large animal. One ther artificial tooth was held by the same bancl, but it Is lost. Dr. Van Matter has in his own possession a skull In which the first upper molar on the right side is miss ing, and which shows plain marks of An alveolar absoesa, proving conclusively toothache among the Etruscans. Rase Rail. The manufacture of base balls In this country has become an important Indus try, and an Ingenious one, too, according to the description given of the process: First, there Is a little hard rubber hall, around which there is wound a strong blue coarse yarn, and, when this reaches a pre scribed slze.it Is firmly wrapped with white Venetian yarn. The balls are now placed In an oven and baked until the moisture Is taken out of them and reduced in size, this making them solid. They are thou coated with cement, which causes the balls to re tain their shape, and they cannot be knocked crooked. After this comes some blue yarn, aud around the whole is placed fine white gilling twine. The balls are weighed, each to have a certain weight, and the covers are put on, these teing made out of the beat horse hide. It con sists of two places, each cut In the shape af a figure S. By bending one section one way and another in an opposite direction, a complete cover is obtained. This Is a simple and effectual substitute for the termer method of covering with four pieces of leather. He Didn't Walt.

NEWSPAPER NAKX8- Peculiarities Ahoiit Them Noted by an Observant Journalist. i The old proverb that there ' is no ac counting for taste flndV a marked Ultis tTation in the rramee which aro given the more than 13,000 newspapers and other periodicals published in the United titatoa When it is remembered that some of these names are repeated hundreds of times, it might seem that there was a lack of orig inality in the coinage of newspaper names, ' but a study of the newspaper directories " quickly shows that some of the names which have been adopted are not only original, but most strikingly so. For example, Arkansas has a Tack Hammer at Viola, and Greeley, Cok, a Rocky Mountain Howler. Pennsylvania has a daily Blizzard in Oil City, Oupki's Sitting Room in Bangor, Multum in Par vo in Clearfield, aud the Derrick In Oil City. South Carolina is favored with a Psalm Singer in Due West, and the Cotton Plant in Marion. Texas supports the Quill in Abilene, the Cross Timbers in Bowie, the Roundup in Cisco, the Cow Boy in Dallas, Dot in Del Rio, Jimplecute In Jefferson, Black Waxy In McKinney, and Quid Nurrc in Round Rock. Arizona has a Silver Belt in Globe, and the Daily Tombstone in the city of that name In place of the Epitaph, deceased. The longest name is owned by Die Deutsch-Amerikanische Gewerbe und In dustrie Zeitung : Fortschritt Der Zeit, a commercial paper of Milwaukee. Atlanta, Ga., has a Bight for Thinkers, and Sparta an Ishniaelite. Blinois has the Barry Unicorn-Greenback, Blue Mound Cyclone, Casey Acorn (a weekly at 50 cents a year), aud Chicago Alarm, the last the organ of the Socialists. Indianapolis has the Iron clad Auc, nn anti-religious paper, and the Scissors. Terre Haute has What Next? an advertising sheet. Iowa has at Angus the Black Diamond, and at Fayette the Postal Card. In Kansas, Atchison has every week a Sunday Morning Sermon, Independent-Democratic; Carbondule has the Astonisher nnd Paralyser, Clay Cen tre a Firebrand, Dodge City the Cowboy, Garden City the Irairie Dog and a Bundle of Sticks, and Valley Falls its Lucifer, a free thought paper. The Condenser operates at Leesville, I,a., and Tip Top halls from Baltimore, Md. Majsachnsetts has perhaps less va riety ot newspaper names than other States, and its Traveller is one of the most unique of its names. The most common name is qnite naturally that of News, by which, either with or without a prefix, some SfSO papers are called. Forty-four of these are in Illinois, 3V- in New York, 83 in Ohio, 34 in Pennsylvania, while the others are scattered through the other States and Territories. There are 489 called the Times, 41;' Journals, 408 Demo crats, 297 Gazettes, 273 Republicans, IPS Enterprises, ISO Independents.

It is a little curio'-s that some of the In dependents are most rabid partisan sheets Some of the most stalwart Republican papers rejoice in the name of Democrats and others cahed Republicans are most emphatically hide-l -und Bourbons. There is at least one Democrat in every State except two, and sturdy Republican Illi nois heads the list with thirty-six of them. No State is without its Journal and News and every one but Delaware ms a Ga zette. As to language in which American newspapers are printed, almost every na tionality is represented, showing the cos mopolitan character of our civilisation. The German publications are of course the most numerous and they are followed in j order by the French, Scandinavian and j Spanish. There are five Polish, two Fin i nish, one Cherokee, and one Chinese pa I pers. The United Suites takes the lead In i newspaper and per -dica! literature, if the number in existence is to lie made a test, nearly two-fifths of the world's publica tions being publi.-hed in her territory. Remedial O filer of Laughter. The interaction of mind nnd body, In disease, is well set forth by Dr. Haecker, of I.eipstc, who states that tickling, which he styles a variable, intermitten excite ment of the nerves of the skin, produces irritation of the sympathetic nerves with the result of an expansion of the pnlpil and a contract ion of the blood vessels and that the consequent diminution of pressure on the brain, permeated with Hotid tessels is so considerable as not to be without flanger; that powerful expiration operates against such a diminution of pressure, and therefore laughter, which Is simply inter mittent forced movements of expiration, Is a decided remedy for the effects of tick ling. Aniline Color Pnlsotilnz. A writer in a Bessie journal considers the aniline colors as a rule poisonous in their action upon the skin, as has been established in regard to coral ine. in spite of all denials. He indorses the recom mendation I hat woo:en garments colored with aniline dies should not tie worn next to the skin, and .approves, as a test for these colors the plan of heating a portion of the wool to boiling, In a test lulie, with ninety percent of alcohol, and, if the latter acquires a red, violet, or vlolet-blue tint, the coloring matter is suspicious.

The bull had lieen gored three times by the buck, the last thrust enter ing the animal's heart, and mnut have killed him almost instantly.

A Qowslpy Letter from Allegheny City, Of course everyTxwly knows that West ern. Pennsyb ania 1s overflowing with natural gas, and that it is being utilized lor fuel ns well ns for light, which later Is not yet a success, but the wildest im agination could not conceive the state of disorder and untidiness into which the city is thrown. Our streets are all torn VP from one end to the other with pipe laying by the nav-vics and our houses re turned topsy-turvy from attic to cellar, by the plumbers putting fn pipes and adjust ing grates and stoves for natural gns. The trouble Is they stay so long with ns; it takes them from two to four weeks according to the elze of the house and lrumrier of Cres us-.d. Now with about twenty navvies nt one's door and half as many plumbers in one's house imagine the scene if you can. But wait they are through at last. Now comes the Gns In rpector, then the Fire Marshal, and after examining things pronounce them all safe. Then all hands fall to work nailing down the boards on the floors and tacking dowTi the carpets and trying to bring order out of chaos as speedily as possible. When all that Is through with we sweep down the soot from the back walls of the grate and whitewash them, then pnt a lighted, taper Into the grate, that has been filled with crucibles such as are used for smelt ing purposes, and with a little braes key turn on the gas. In Just about five minutes the stones are red hot, with Gny tongues of blue flames leaping up through, and it Is one of the prettiest fires that you could wish to sec, givunf out a more Intense hent than a coal fire, and it can be regulated Just as it is desired. In the range or stove for cooking it is invaluable. One can moderate it to exactly the riht heat ; then we do not have to rake down Ashes to make dnst all over our dishes on the stove hearth, or shovel In coal just at the wrong time. And In our grates we have no ashes to takeout and need wash up the he'arths but once a week, instead of once a flay. All these benefits we have, asld from the labor of carrying coal from the cellar or coal house. All that slavish work Is a thing of the past ; and I really think housekeepers in Pittsburgh and Allegheny City appreciate it more than anywhere else. Housekeepers living in clean cities or, better still, in the country and villages have not the remotest idea what it is like to le burled alive in dirt, with no way out but to dlfl out with scrubbing brush and broom, for the soot and smoke of this place is of a gassy, greasy nature, that will not wash off very teadily, but Iihs to be scrubted with hot water, soap and brush. With natural gas that hard labor will be done away with. The gas ia said to cost the consumer less than coal, but, ns we are new In the busi ness yet, that remains to be seen. While possessing all the virtues and good qualities that we have tried to show, Latural gat has alno, its littln vices, as hero Is no rose without a thorn. Some times on a cold morning we cannot get enough force to get the breakfast. Then we have to skirmish around and hunt up au oil stove or something of that sort to make our morning cotlee on. Then again. If we do not go about the lighting of It very carefullv, it will flash out into onr faces. It will be no umigual thing to see, the wife going abont one week w ith one side burned oil of her frazes and the Dusband the next with whiskers or mustache singed off. Then another draw back, which is literally a drawback. It warps and draws our furniture nnd cracks picture frames until they fall apart and Are useless. We are obliged to keep vessels filled with water in every room, to absorb in a measure the dry, hot air. Ol course we can have the vessels as ornamental as we desire. And last bnt least, it is explosive and not always in the house of t hose who are using it, for if it runs pnst your house and tlie pipes leak yon are just ns liable to tret It into your cellar as not, and it being odorless cannot be detected until going into the cellar with a litjht. The moment it comes 1n contact with a flame It explodes sometimes kill ing the person carrying the licbt, shatter ing the building and tearing things np at a terxiblj rate. We are fort ifying orii-seives with a safety lamp, but whether It proves any safer than a common one we will lie better able to tell after the catastrophe. It is certainly calculated to make one feel a little shaky, as if they 'were living above a powder mine, not knowing what minute some one will drop a spark or a hammer and Mow us up; but then, we are wiUing to take nil these risks in order to have the naturul gas. They Found film. A romantic story comes from Venice. A young Englishman appeared every morning in the tobacco divan of Signor Alberti, bought the most expensive cigars gave presents to the beautiful shop girl, and, so far as his faulty command of the Italian tongue allow ssl. paid assiduous court to her. Subsequently he presented her with his siting card, on w hich waa CBgraved lxrd Rodney. He told her that he was staying at the Grand Hotel, and hdred the entire first etage, and was dying for love of her. He asked her to le his wlfo, but wished that the mai riage shonld be performed secretly and immediately, because, he feared that if his aristocratic kinsfolk In England gained any know lodge of his Intentions they would move heaven and earth to hinder tbe nmon. Tha young lady told the story to her employer, and Signor Albertl prudently enough went to the Grand Hotel, made Inquiries and found that all the servants spoke of the generosity and wealth of the English nobleman. He adv lscd her to accept the splendid offer, and a day was fixed for the marriage. As the young lord did not turn up at the appointed time Signor Albertl and the lady went to the hotel to find him. They found him In a white cravat cleaning his master's boots. Ttlodern Application of Mrrlptnre.

Daniel Wrbslsr Thongh Webster's and tbe Bible. fame rests chiefly upon his oratorical powers he wa re markable, too, for his familiarity with tha Bible. In fart, his colleagues once nick named him the Bible Concordance of the United States Senate. How lie earned this title, and how the Bible influenced his lit erary' st le. Is told by the Youth's Com panion : While a mere bad he read with men power and expression that the passing teamsters who stopped to water thtlr, horses used to get "Welister's loy" to come out l-eneuth the shade of the trees and read the Bible to them. Those w ho heard Mr. Welter, in later life, recite passages from the Hebrew prophets and Psalms say that he held them spcllNmud, while each pnsvagn, evn the most familiar, came borne to t&em ta, a new meaning. One pentlemnn says that he never received such ideas of the majesty of God and the dignity of man as he did. one clear night when Mr. Webster, stand ing in the ojien air, recited the eighth. Psalm. Webster's mother observed another old fashion of New England in training her son. She encouraged him to memorize such S riptural passages as impressed him. The boy's retentive memory, and his sen sitiveness to Bible metaphors and to the rhythm of the English version, stored Ma mind with Scripture. On one occasion the teacher of tbe dis trict school ottered a jack-knife to the boy who should recite the greatest numtier cf verses from the Bible. When Webster's turn came, he arose nnd reeled ofl so many verses that the master was forced to cry, 'Ennrigh'" It wns the mother" training and the 'loy's delight 1n th idioru9 and mnsic o King .lame's version that made him the "Biblical Concordance of the Senate." But these two factors made him more than a "concordance." The Hebrew prophets inspired him to eloquent utter ances. He listened to them, until tbelr vocabulary and i.li-.ms as expressed in King James's translations lietame his mother-tonnue. Of bis lofty utterances It may lie slid. as Wordsworth said of Milton's poetry, they aie "Hebrew in soul" There fore they project themselves Into tire future. The young Eiau who would be a writer that shad 1e read, or an orator whom people will hear, should study the English Bible. Its f-iniznlnr beauty and great power as liieratnre, the thousand senti ments and associations which rse has at tached to it. have made It a mightier force than rut other book. The Oplnut I In bit. In 1813 Coleridge' face was sallow, his eye wild, his hand and step tottering. The cause of his condition was no longer a secret, Cottle, as his oldest friend, ex postulated with him.

He w ishes to place himself in a prhnte madhouse, and concludes: "You bid me rouse myself; go, bid a man paralytic in both arms to rnb them briskly together and that will cure bim. Alas!" be would rep'y, "that I can not move my arms is my complaint and misery." His sense of his degradation was keen. "Conceive," he writes "a spirit in hell employed In tracing out the road to that heaven from which his crimes j Pxdude him. In i uj most wretched short, conceive whatever ed, helpless hopeless, and yon will form a notkm of my state." Tha sums which he spent in opium were 1nrg. Meanwhile he left his wife and cLildren to be mainly supported by friends and his son Hartley was sent to college on alms collected by Stmt hey. He "never." wrote Sonthey in 1S14.
