tains a COMPLETE NOVEL, by one of the great
authors of the world, as Charles Iteade, Dickens,
Scott, Anthony Trollope, Jules Verne, etc., etc.—
The completion of long and important novels in a
single iBsue, is the most unique and valuable fea
ture yet introduced into the periodical literature
of the day, and is peculiar to The Lakeside Li
brary.
Each issue of TIIE LIBRARY contains a COM
PLETE NOVEL, that would cost at the book

of the same in THE LIBRARY is only 1p cents
if you buy a single copy from yaur newsdealer. or

works, as "The Law and The Lady," by Wilkie
Collins, and "Twenty Thousand Leagues under
the Seas," by Jules Verne. When this is neces

"Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Seas,"
By JULES VERNE.
This wonderful book is descriptive of a voyage
of 20 000 leagues UNDER the surface of THE
SEA ! No one acquainted with Verne's peculiar
and dramatic style need be told that this (his
greatest book) is most intensely interesting. It
lays bare the mysteries of the mighty deep—its
sunken wrecks ; submarine forests; the grotesque,
hideous and awful creatures who dwell therein;
the beautiful coral caves; its treasures of gold,
silver and jewels lost in Spanish ships of olden
days. Yet so quaintly, and with such an air of
candor, is the story told, that you can hardly
believe that you are not reading a transcript from
a ship's log-book. Sent by mail, by the publish—
ers, post-paid, for 25 cents.

A Mother's Prayer.
The sweetest sound hoard through our earthly
home—
The brightest ray that gleams from heaven's
dome—
The loveliest flower that e'er from earth's breast
rose—
The purest flame that, quivering, gleams and
glows—
Are found alone, where kneels a mother mild,
With heart uplifted, praying for her child.
The stream of tears can never cease to flow
Long as life's sun shall shine on us below;
And many angels have been sent by God
To count the tear-drops wept upon life's road;
But of all the tears that flow, the least defiled
Are when a mother prays beside her child.
Because it is to mortal eyes unseen,
Ye call it foolishness, a childish dream.
In vain; ye cannot rob me of that thought,
That legend, with such heavenly sweetness
fraught,
That blessed angels have for ages smiled
To see a mother praying for her child.
Zive Atorg-Etiltr.
A WOMAN'S PRIDE.
It was a fair, sunny day in August.—
They went out on the cliffs, fathoms above
the sea, at play. She, a dark-eyed,
haughty faced youn beauty of thirteen ;
he, a tall. stalwart boy a year her junior.
There was a wide difference in their
stations in life. You bad only to note the
richness of her silken robes, the coarseness
and threadbare scantiness of his, to feel as
sured of that. No gentleman's son wore
a blue blouse and a tattered cap like Duke
Rutherford's.
The children were gathering moss from
the rocks, and chatting gayly together,
forgetful of rank or station. They had
met often thus for the last six years.
Duke's father was a day-laborer on the
estate of Hortense Delmaine's highbred
mother.
The Rutherfords had not always been
hirelings. For generations back they
were titled noblemen in the family, but
political differences had taken the title out
of the name, and, early in life, Hugh Ru
therford, the Duke's father, had emigrated
to this country, and married, soon after,
the blooming daughter of a small farmer.
The young couple had nothing but health
and true love ; and after a few years even
this last sweet boon was taken away.—
Mrs. Rutherford died, and her husband
had only her six months' old boy to toil for.
No restraint was put upon the inter
course between Duke Rutherford and
Hortense Delmaine by the proud lady
mother of the young heiress. If she
thought of the matter at all, she trusted to
the inborn pride of her daughter, and to
the cold contempt she had tried so faith
fully to imbue her with—contempt for all
that was low or ill-bred.
Mrs. Delmaine read her favorite novels,
entertained her chosen company, and
reigned queen at the halls, and Hortense
enjoyed the freedom of the cliffs.
The young girl was almost reckless in
her daring at times. This afternoon she
was in her most dangerous mood. A
cluster of purple flowers growing in a cleft
in the rocks attracted her attention. She
sprang towards them. The Duke waved
her back.
Before he could prevent her, she had
swung herself over the precipice, and rest
ing one foot on a narrow shelf of rocks,
her left hand clinging to a frail shrub that
had taken root in the sparse earth at the
top, with the other she grasped the cove
ted blossom.
Pike, white and rigid, stood above her,
looking down. She shook the flowers
above her head, and said :
"I dare do what a boy trembles seeing
done."
She stopped hastily in the gay, taunting
speech she was making. The treacherous
rock under her foot crumbled and fell—
there was only a little swaying shrub to
hold her back from eternity.
Duke threw himself upon his face,
reached over, caught her uplifted hand in
his, and drew her up slowly, laboriously—
for she was nearly his own weight, and he
realized too well how much hung on the re
suit to be hasty or reckless of his strength.
Ile rose to his feet, lifting her up with
him.
For one moment, breathless and over
come by the thought of what she had es
caped, she leaned a{,ainst him, then turn
ing coldly away she seated herself on a
rock.
"Well," said she haughtily, "you have
saved my life, I suppose. "What is it
worth ? My mother will—"
She stopped abruptly. Duke's face had
grown crimson, and his lips were com
pressed. She understood him, and fore
bore the insulting speech she was about to
make. ller voice was softer when she
spoke, for being proud herself, she re
spected pride in others.
"Forgive me, Duke. What shall I give
you to show you how grateful I am ?" and
she began to detach the heavy aold chain
she wore at her girdle. lle put it back
when she offered it.
"Give me the bunch of heliotrope in
your hair,"
She pulled it out and laid it in his hand.
"Good-bye, Duke, I am going home ;
may not see you again. To-morrow I am
going away to Wilbraham to School.—
Don't you wish you could go to school ?"
That night Mr. Rutherford called Duke
into his bed-chamber, where he kept his
private desk and his meagre stock of
books. He took from an ebony casket a
ring set with diamond orbitone.
"There, my son," he said, "is the only
thing I have on earth to show that noble
blood flows in my veins. That ring be
longed to my great grandfather, the Duke
of Somerset. It cost five thousand dollars.
It will bring readily more than half that
sum. I bequeath it to you. Will you
keep it to show the world that your an
cestors were noble or—or—" He paused
and looked eagerly into the face of the
boy.
"Or what, father ?" Duke's f . ace was
eager, hopeful. Already he had half di
vined his father's meaning.
"You love books. I bad thought you
might desire an education. The proceeds
of that ring will defray your expenses at
school—maybe through college. But you
can keep it, if you choose. Which shall
it be ?"
"Oh, father ! knowledge before anything
else in the world. What care I if my
body starve, so that my soul be fed ?"
So it was decided, and a fortnight after
ward Duke left Romney and entered tho
preparatory school at the town of C-.
Six years passed. Duke had - been six
months at college, and was home on a brief
vacation.
Miss Delmaine had just graduated at a
fashionable finishing school and returned
to the Hall, a wondrously beautiful and
accomplished young lady, followed by a
train of obsequious admirers.
PRINTING
One still June night she stole away from
the revelry of the Hall, and went, as of
old, to the cliff. Duke was there before
her, sitting silent in the moonlight, look
ing out to the sea. lie heard her step—
perhaps the thrill of his heart told him
who was coming. The heliotrope had lain
there all these six years. lie arose and
turned toward her, waiting her pleasure.
She might recognize him or not, just as
she chose.
She passed him with a haughty glance.
He did not flinch, but stood with folded
arms—his tall, manly figure outlined
against the purple sky, his face lit up by
the young moon. A faint flush rose to
her white forehead.
"Is it Duke Rutherford ?"
"Miss Delmaine !" Allow me to welcome
you home."
She gave him her hand. After all old
memories still held sway in her heart.
Some secret audacity moved him to say
it.
He bent over and whispered: "I have
got the heliotrope yet, Hortense."
Her eyes blazed; she snatched her hand
from his as if his touch stung her.
"Remember to whom you are talking,"
she said sharply.
"I do remember."
"I have other business than listening to
the talk of a . love-sick boy. ;•;) good
night."
* *
* *
Six years have passed again. Duke
Rutherford had a name in the land. On
graduating he had studied law, been ad
mitted to the bar in due time, and after
two year's successful practice his talent
had won for him the appointment of judge
for the district, quite a lucrative position.
One day, late in November, he found
himself on bo•ird an ocean steamer, on a
business tour to Europe, and was return.
ing home. There was a gay party of la
dies and gentlemen among the passengers,
wealthy aristocrats, who had been "doing"
the wonders of the world.
The second day of the voyage they were
all on deck at sunset—promenading, laugh
ing, chatting—enjoying the fresh breezes.
Duke was then.. also. 1k met Hortense
Deltnaine face to face—a proud, beautiful
woman now. Her youth had not made
false prophesies of the glory of her woman
hood. He had beard of her fame in the
gay Parisian capital; and, looking at her
now, he was free to confess that she had
not wen undeserved laurels.
She was leaning on the arm of a tall
Spanish looking man. Though she smiled
at his soft nothings, she was gazing out,
over and beyond him and his range of
thought, to the sea, stretching so darkly
blue and boundless to meet the twilight
glory.
Duke Rutherford stopped before her
just as she disengaged herself from her
companion.
"It is the same old ocean upon which
we used to look from the cliffs, Miss Deb
maine," 111. said quickly.
She was leaning over the side of the
vessel, looking down at the water. She
lifted her eyes, shuddered slightly, and
drew up her shawl. Duke assisted her.
"Mr. Rutherford, you turn up once in
six years, it seems."
lie smiled to himself. So she remetu
bered how long since she had seen him.
"It is like going back to my lost boy
hood to see you. Miss Delmaine. I—"
He did not finish the sentence. Her
late companion approached and drew her
arm within his. She mentioned the gen
tlemen's name to each other—" Mr. Tre
vanon, Mr. Rutherford." They bowed
coldly.
Afterward Miss Delmaine and Mr.
Rutherford never met alone. Sometimes,
surrounded by her friends, she came upon
him, and acknowledged him by a distant
bow—but there was nothing more between
them.
The voyage was drawing to a close.—
They were nearing the harbor. A great
storm arose ; the vessel was driven out of
her track and drifted down to the capes.
One dark, direful night, in spite of skill
and frenzied effort, the ship struck the
rocks on the lee shore and parted.
A little moment to realize the fearful
horror of that situation was left those on
board. Miss Delmaine, pale but calm was
holding the arm of Mr. Trevarnon. Her
friends shrieking and terrified, stood near.
She was not looking at the threatening
destruction before her, but over her
shoulder, with a hungry, wistful something
in her eyes, as if she forgot what she saw
not. The expression died out as Duke
Rutherford appeared. For an instant
their eyes met.
Then !—the ship lurched violentiy—
there was a dull plunge, a wild shriek of
agony, and the water swarmed with stru , ' -
filing human beings. The world had
grown dark to Hortense, but she felt her
self borne up by some power beyond her
own strength—upward and onward through
the billows, till her feet touched the firm
shore of the cape. Then into the light
and warmth of a fisher's cottage, and when
they had laid her down on the rude settee
she opened her eyes and saw—Duke Ruth
erford.
"You saved me ?" she asked.
"I had the honor."
The door opened and Mr. Trevanon ap
peared. Whatever Hortense might have
said by way of thanks, was checked by his
sentence, and directly afterward Duke
went Gut. Three weeks passed before
they met again, and then it was at the old
place on the clifs, at Romney.
Mrs. Delmaine was dead ! Hortense
had been to visit her grave, and on her
return sat, for a moment, on the gray,
familiar rock to look out on a wintry sea.
Her eyes were still wet; she had been
weeping over the dead.
Duke found her thus, aid seating him
self beside her, drew her head down on
his shoulder.
"Hortense," he said, "•I love you. I
defy your contempt; I dare repeat it to
you. I love you 1"
For a moment it seemed to him that she
clung to him, then cast him away, and
rose to her feet. And when she spoke
her voice was cold and unmoved : "On
New Year's eve I am to be married to
Eugene Trevanon."
Duke started up—seemed about to make
some impetuous speech, checked himself,
bowed and left her.
And she threw herself down where he
had stood, moaning out, "Oh ! pride !
pride ! it will be my death."
* * * * * *
It is the last day of the old year.
Duke Rutherford, a stern and gloomy
man, was to bid adieu to his native land
for a long season.
All unconsciously, he turned his steps
toward Delmaine Hall. It rose up, a
gloomy, massive pile, lighted only by the
red firelight, at a single window. To
morrow it would blaze with lamps lit to
shine upon her bridal.
He paused to turn back, but something
led him on. Through the deserted gar
den, up to the broad doer that stood ajar.
All was quiet within. The guests were
in bed. Only one tardy servant was up—
it will do no harm to glance within.
He stepped to the door of the room
where he bad seen the light and pushed
it softly open. Ile saw no one. Still he
went on, end sat down in a great lounging
chair before the warm blaze.
Some one rose up on the sofa at the
other end of the fire place. He started
up, and an apology on his lips for his au
dacious intrusion. She—it was Hortense
—clad, not in bridal robes. but in sable
vestments, and destitute of ornament came
toward him, looked up into his eyes, and
let her white hand rest upon his shoulder.
"Duke," said she, her eyelids drooping,
her cheeks crimson, "have I offended past
forgiveness ?"
Ile did not answer. Only looked at hcr.
She went on persistently : "I will let the
truth speak, Duke Rutherford, I love you.
I have loved you all along, but pride came
nigh being my ruin. Thank God, at last
I have clean hands and a pure heart I
have dismissed Eugene Trevanon, and
true to myself, true to you. I cant aside
all womanly modesty and shatuc, and tell
you that I love you."
"Hortense, is this thing true ? Are
you done with that man"'
"I have done with him," she said.
softly.
Ile gathered her in his arms. "And
whose are you now ?"
"Yours, if you will take me."
And Duke Rutherford did not sail for
Europe.

Our New York Letter.
Heat, Dust and Peaches—Business—Cost
of Coming to New York—Crime—
Ralston, the Dead Banker—Polities.
NEW YORK, September 20, 1875.
lIEAT, DUST AND PEACHES.
Fervid heat and intolerable dust mark
the opening of September, and raise many
a long sigh as we read of the frosts and
bracing weather of the Northwest. Water
carts perambulate the streets all day long,
ice cream is the staple article of diet, and
the baskets of spotted peaches left by the
glut in the market, raise but a feeling of
safety. The genius who would invent a
way to get rid of peaches here this year
would call forth the thanks of dealers. It
is unfortunate that they can't be sent by
balloon to the desolate West, whose peach
orchards bear no longer. They would
serve a double purpose—as ballast and
freight—while the coolness of the upper
atmosphere would preserve their freshness
in high flavor. Peaches might be sent
overnight from New York to Chicago, and
the prevailing odor of the markets and
wharves considerably improved thereby.
Venders hold very fair fruit at ten cents
the half-peck, piled and running over,
while baskets are selling from fifty to silty
cents. Peach ice cream is the popular
delicacy, with the comforting persuasion
that pure fruit is used for flavoring it.
While speaking of the products of this
part of the country, it may be mentioned
that clams are unusually fine this season.
a fact which rejoices the hearts of politi
cians mightily.
BUSINESS.
Were the season as propitious in busi
ness as it is in nature. there wouht be
nothing left to wish. But the ghastly list
of failures in each tnoruing's papers makes
business men look sick; and there is a
clenching of hands and looking out for
the worst that is not healthy in the chill
and fever weather of September. The
only people who look at all at ease are the
bankrupts. The worst is over with them.
and there remains the fresh start. set off
by the prospect of hoarding eirefully all
profits for years to come, to pay in full the
creditors who connipounded for fifty cents
on the dollar.
Every day brings its regular lists of
failures. This week the great book firm
of Lee St Sheperd, Boston, went under,
taking with it their New York house.
liabilities, $600,000, assets not yet known
But it is to the credit of our business
men that they are doing everything in
their power to raise the fallen firm, and
set it on its feet again. The publishers in
New York, who are the principal creditors.
say to them "Pay what you can and go on"
which they will do. This is what honesty
and integrity is worth. Lee Sheperd
failed from no fault of their own, and they
struggled desperately for three years before
they went down. They lost 5225,000. in
good hard earned money, in the Boston
fire, and the depression in business, and
the shrinkage in values, finally brought
them to their knees. The thousands of
people who read Oliver Optic, and the
other authors they have brought out. will
be glad to know that they will probably
resume in ten days. Such men cannot
long be kept down. Friend Pitts, the
welt-known Broadway ladies' furnishing
goods man, went by the board Wednesday.
and Thursday, Union Adams, the better
known men's furnishing goods `allowed suit.
These are the best known, but there are a
dozen a day in the City.
But despite this business men feel a
slight revival of their hopes. Whether it
will last, remains to be seen, but it is cer
tain that there is an increase in business
for the last week. There is a great many
merchants in the City, and they arc buy
ing, though not extensively. They seem
to be "s,rtirif4 up," rather than buying
fun stneks. but even that is miter than
nothing. Wheels are moving. it' they
do creak.
lint 1 ti) not believe that New York
will ever again have the trade it once
hell.
IT COSTS TOO :MUCH
to come to New York to do business; and
il)r a part of their loss of trade the mer
chants may charge the hotels and the par
asites that hang upon them. For instance,
if a cAin try merchant comes here, he wants
to and ought to bring his wife. At aoy
hotel he would care stop at, the rate per
day is 84 50—59.00 for the two—and as
he can't get a waiter to do anything de
cent for him without a fee, his daily ex
penses will mount up to quite 812 per day.
If he wants to go to a theatre, he is swind•
out of $1.50 for each seat, and as for a
hack to go to the Park, $8 is the lowest,
and $lO and 812 are common. In short,
a ten days' stay will use op the but-end of
$250, say nothing of the expenses of com
ing and going. Everybody digs into him
for they never expect to see him again.
Of course they can't afford it, and of
course they don't. They go to Chicago,
St. Louis, Cincinnati, Toledo, and other
big points in the interior, where 850 will
go farther than $l5O will here. The hotel
and restaurant keepers don't seem to real
ize that the war is over, for they are
charging warpricen for everything So.
matures are not worth twenty-6ve waft

restaurant you are madr to pay forty amoso
a plate fir townstnes. Beef it ae
