I, physically, an ill-conditioned inau,. but at first glance scarcely a seedy man. The indi cations of reduced circumstances in the male of the better class are, I fancy, first visible in the boots nud shirt, the boots offensively exlnl iting a degree of polish inconsistent with their dilapidated condition, and the shirt showing an ex tent of ostentatious surface that is inva riably fatal to the threadbare waistcoat that it partially covers. He was a pale man, and I fancied still paler from his black clothes. He handed ine a note. It was from a certain physician; a man of broad culture and broader expe rience; a man who had devoted the greater part of his active life to the alle viation of sorrow and suffering; a man who hod lived up to the noble vows of a noble protection; a man who locked in hia honorable breast the secrets of a hun dred families, whose face was as kindly, whose touch was as gentle in the war Is of tire great public hospitals as it was beside the laced curtains of the dying Narcissa; a man who, through long con tact with suffering, had acquired a uni versal tenderness and breadth of kindly philosophy; a man who, day and night, was the beck and call of anguish; a man who never asked the creed, belief, moral or worldly standing of the sufferer, or even his ability to pay the few coins that enabled him (the physician) to exist and practice his calling; in brief, a man who so nearly lived up to the example of the Great Master that it seems strange I am writing of him as a doctor of medicine and not of divinity. The note was in pencil, characteristic ally brief and ran tlms : " Here is the man I spoke of. He ought to be good material for you." For a moment I sat, looking from the note to the man, and sounding the "dim perilous depths "of my memory for the meaning of this mysteiious com munication. The "good material," however, soon relieved my embarrass ment, by putting his hand on bis waist coat, coming toward me, and saying: "ItVjust here; you can feel it." It wiis not necessary for me to do so. In a flash I remembered that my medical friend had told me of a certain poor pa tient, once a soldier who, among his other trials and uncertainties, was afflict ed with Tan anuerism caused by the buckle of his knapsack pressing upon the arch of the aorta. It was liable to burst at any shock or any moment. The poor fellow's yoke had indeed be n too heavy. In the presence of such a tremendous {Kjssibility I think for an instant I felt anxious only about myself. What I should do; how dispose of the body; how explain the circumstance of his taking off ; how evade the übiquitous reporter and the coroner's inquest; how a suspicion might arise that I had in some way, through negligence, or for some dark purpose, unknown to the jury, precipitated the catastrophe, all flashed FRKD.

" Can he walk ?" "Y'es." "Stand up for tiiteeu min utes?" "Yes." "Then I'll take him. He'll do for the last svue in the 'De struction .<f Sennacherib'—it's a tre uiendous tiling, you know, we'll have '2,000 people on the stage." I was a tride alarmed at the title and ventured to suggest twithout Let raving my JSKT friend's secret i, that he e tild not active ly engage in the " 1>- strueti it of Senna clienb, " ami that even the spectacle of it imglit K- to • much far him. " Needn't see it at ait." suivl my managerial friend, "put htm iu iron?, nothing to do but march in ami march out, ami Jovlge cur tain. " He was engaged. I admit I was at times haunted by grave doubts as to whether 1 sh "tlld not have informed the manager of his physical condition, and the possibility that he might some eve ning perpetrate a real tragedy on the mimic stage, but on the tir-t perforra anc of "The Destruction of Senna cherib," which I mnsrieutiou-lv attended, was somewhat rclievi*!. I had often been amused with the placid way in winch the chorus in the opera invariably received the most astounding informa tion, ami witnessed the most appalling tragiviies by pom m or the block without anything more than a vocal protest or command always delivered to the audi ence, and never to the actors, but I think ay pisir friend's utter itupaswivene** t<> the wiUl carnage and the terrible exhibi tions of incendiarism that were going on irouud him transeen 1. 1 even that. Dressed in a c stumc that seemed t > K the very soul of anachronism, he stno 1 i little outside the pr>*o niutu, holding a si "ear, the other hand pressed appa rently u|>ou the secret within his breast, iu mi y surveying, with Ins waxen face, the gay auditorium. 1 could not help thinking tliat there was a certain pride visible even in his placid features, as of one who was conscious that at any mo ment he might change this simulate! catastrophe into real terror. I could not help saying this to the doctor, who was with me. " Y'es," he said, with pr fe*- atonal exactitude, " when it liap]>eus lie'll throw his arms up ateive his head, utter an ejaculation, and fall forward on ins fa<*e—it's a singular thing, they al ways fall forward on their face—and they'll pick up the man as dead as Ju lius C®sar." After that. I ysixl to go night after night, with a eerticn hidi* u* fascination; but, while it will h • remembered the "Destruction of Sennacherib" had a tremendous run, it will also lie remem bered that not * single life was really lost during it* representation. It was only a few weeks after this mmlest first appearance ou the Kinrd* of "The Man with au Aneurism" that, happening to K at a dinner party of practical business men, I sought to inter est them with tlie details of the ab >ve story, delivered with such skill and pa'lios as I could command. I regret to say that, a* a pathetic story, it for a mo ment seetned to be a dead failure. At last a prominent banker sitting next to me turned to me with the awful ques tion : " Why don't your friend try to re alize on his life insurance?" I Kgged his pardon; I didn't quite understand. " On, discount, sell out. Ij-wik here— (aft. r a pause). lat him assign his policy to me—it's n-rt much of a risk, on your statement. Well—l'll give him his five thousand clear." And he did. Under the advice of this cool headt*l—l think I may a-Id warm hearted—banker, "The Man with an Aneruism" invested his money in tlie name of and for the benefit of his wife in certain securities that paid him a small hut regular sti|ienil. But he still con tinued upon the boards of the theater. By reason < f some business engage ments that called mo away from tlie city I did not see rny fre-iid the physician for three mouths afterward. When 1 did I asked tidings of Tlie Man with the Aneurism. The doctor's kind face grew sail. " I'm afraid—that is, I don't ex actly know whether I've gissl new* or bail. Did voti ever see his wife ?" I'neverdiad. " Well, she was younger than he, and rather attractive. One of those doll faced women. Y'on rememK-r, he set tled that life insurance jsiliev on her ami the children; she might have waited. She didn't. The other day she eloped with some fellow, I don't rememl>er his name, with the children aud the five thousand dollars." "And the shock killed him," I said, witli poetic promptitude. " No—that is—not yet; I saw him yes terday," said the doctor, with conscien tious professional precision, looking over his list of calls. "Well, where is the poor fellow now?' "He's still at the theater. James, if these powders are called for, you'll find them hero in this envelope. Tell Mrs. Blank I'll lie there at seven—and she can give the baby this nutil I come.

After it has leached or filtered, put it in barrels or casks filled, leaving no room for air; bung them tight and keep it where it won't freeze till February or March, then put it into champagne Kittles filled, drive the corks and wire them. It should lie done in a cellar or room that is comfortable for work. The K'st cider is late made, or made w hen it is cold as can be ami not freeze. Hon to Vote. The venerable Jeremiah K.

The book and ladder wagons came, but there was seemingly an interminable delay iu getting to work, aud, without exaggeration, to the sjiectatoni who par took of the prevailing excitement it seemed as though Uie department was without its usual efficiency, and that as sistance would never lie rendered.

She was awakened from a sound aleen by a loud cry of " fire !** from tlie hall Jumping out of bed, she groped her way to the door and opened it to find the place was dense with smoke and that im mediate action was necessary. Slipping into the scantiest of garments, she threw up one of the windows to ascertain the chance of escaping by that route, and, finding it was decidedly slender, she concluded her only bopeaf escape lay by the liallway. Paople were screaming and hurrying past her door, and she de termined in an instant to cast her lot with them. There were no lights, and what was done had to be done in dark n*s. Entering the hall, she burnt lin the direction of the stairway, sad, before proceeding far, was materially assisted by a gentleman, who seizetl hold of her arm and pushed her along.

Many swooned when they realized tlie danger they had passed. • Many were injured in the crush; most of tliern were in a wretchedly forlorn conditioa as to cloth ing, and in some of the saloons the dead and living were stretched out waiting the coming of frieinl*.

A number of peo ple had been taken out of that portion of the building by means of the Skinner truck, which had then l>ecu removed, it Wing supposed that that aide hail tieen emptied of its inmates. Suddenly at ore of • in- windows on the fourth floor a muu appeared in a night dress. Glancing around he sapmed to realize las situa tion perfectly.

He looked up at the skv and olas]>ed his hands in prayer : "Lorf, for Jesus sake," could W easily hoard by the throng below, calmed into perfect silence. It seemed hours before the truck was brought. It mnst have seem ed centuries to the lonely man, standing at the darkened window, lighted by tut occasional flash from the flames around him, tutd startled by the crash, that came here and there, of falling walls. "Lord, for Jeeus soke," he cried. "Stand where von are," said fifty voices. The truck finally came and was slowly and clumsily raised to the window. Two firemen a| up and put the msn on the ladder. He came down slowly, his limits trembling lamenth him. At the bottom he raised himself up to hi* full height. "Hurrah for St. Lou.a," lie cried; "New York ain't dead yet." Then raising his hand up to the sky, he said iu a lower tone: "Lord, forgive me for every siu that 1 have committed. To think of having your door opened with a cry, and find the whole building on fire, and then to get out! Lord, I thank thee! I have been in fires before, and in battles aud fights, but this heats all." He was to much excited to give any rational ac count of himself, and was hurried away in an overcoat which had to l>e forced on his shoulders and held there by the two strong firemen who escorted him to a place of safety.
