"I beg your prdon," said Paul Carter, looking in; "did pu say you were di,ien• gaged ?" "What, Paul !" exclaimed Maurice, rapt urously, and seiz;n4 Paul by the hand; "is it really you or your ghost ? I haven't •seen you for a year. Sit down. What have you been doing to yourself ? I hear you have been an! got married I" "I have," said Paul, sighing. ""Hullo'." said Maurice, opening his eyes. "Married life unhappy ? Now I come to notiec it, you look rather pale.— Jealous of any one ?" "Nonsense !" said Paul, impatiently.-- "Nothing of the kind. My wife is the -sweetest little woman you ever set eyes on, and DCVC.7 gives me the least cause fur jealousy." "Violent temper ?" hinted C:►rrol!. "Not at all," said Paul, smiling. "You don't know her; she is never angry." “Then what is the matter ?" demanded 3 . laurice, Fwilethin . z i. I know. V.Then a fdlcw conics in and ,ighs when he is a-Led about his wife. 6' n i thing's up. Come, what is it ? .I.Tnbosom "Well, you know." said Carter, besi tatia-4ly ; my w.n before - I—marriel her, wac= a widow, and her name was Johnson." "Exactly. Romantic name. Preceel !" "Well, Johnson was a pretty good sort of a fellow, I believe," continued Paul, "though railer humdrum. I clin't believe Mary loved hint so devGtedly while he lived, hut now she idolizes him, and rever ences his memory, and ail that sort of thing. -Ah ! I see," said Maurice, nodding sagely. "She's always throwing his great worth at your head ?" "Ye.e s." said Paul, slowly ; "that's all about it. Continually holding him up as an example for we to espy flow. Not in an angry mariner, mind; but in a mildly reproachful tone that is immensely aggra vating. I can't stand it any longer." "Yes; I suppose it does become monoto• nous after awhile," said Maurice, commis• erati ugly. 'But was the late lamented Johnson such a model of propriety as she represents r" "It seems so," said Paul, dismally ; "and that's the worst of it. As far as I can find out, he never did anything wrong from the day of his birth to the day of his death. If I could only find out any offence that he had committed, I might bush her up, but I can't; he never even thought anything wicked." "ll'm," said Maurice, thoughtfully, "Well, I pity you, and if I can relieve you will. Take a cigar, and forget Johnson, if you can." "I can," groaned Paul, despairingly- "Paul," said Mrs. Carter, mildly, "have you bought that bilk floss I asked for ?" "I—l forgot it. Nary, said Paul, weekly, "Ifow stupid !" "Never mind," said Mrs. Carter. "John. son never forgot anything I told him." Mrs. Carter sighed, and there was a shot! pause. "Paul," she E d , presently "Well ?" "Do you think you can go to the station to meet Mrs. Allway when she comes on her visit to we?" "I'm afraid not," said Patti, quietly.— "My business will not admit it. I am really very sorry—" "Very well," said Mrs. Carter, resignedly. "I'll go myself. But Johnson never al lowed his business to interfere with any project for obliging me." "We can't all be like Johns tn," said Paul. a little tartly. "Very true," said Mrs. Carter, quietly. "The late Mr. Johnson was a very good man "Do you suppose be ever did auy wrong ?" asked Paul, cynically. "I don't think lie ever did," s. , Lid Mrs. Carter, decidedly. "I'm firmly convinced." Here she was interrupted by a ring at the bell. B. JACOB A middleaged man was shown into the room, inquiring for Paul. "Mr. Carter, I believe ?" he said, in quiringly. And, as he spoke, he produced from his coat pocket a bulky note.bnok. "I am," said Paul, surprised at the man's manner. "Do you wish to see me for any thing important ?" "Well," said the stranger, eoolly,"that's according to what light you view it, in,— You see," he went on selecting several slips of paper from his book, "I have hero f.everal little bills against the late Mr. Johnson, your wife's limner husband." "Against Mr. Johnsou ?" exclaimed Mrs. Carter, incredulously. "You must be mistaken ; Mr. Johnson left no bills unpaid at his death." "Perhaps you think so," said the man, mysteriously, qut you're wrong. Mr. Johnson was an uncommon sly fox, and I reckon you don't know all of his affairs." "What do you mean ?" asked Mrs. Car- ter, looking as if she was about to burst • into tears. 'This bill," said the man slovly disre garding the interruption, is for cigars, In the Fail. li.,i;er, the air weet tir,t , s fair, 'Pile wor7l <eews to wareailieu— Forever, Ti na!ure, Don't, f ell me, bran,ly, etc , furnished to the deceased." "Mr. Johnson never smelled or drank," said the relict of the late lamented, firmly. "Ten pounds:," continued the relentless stranger. 'This if for carriage hire for self and frends during the two months prior to his decease. Twenty-two pounds; this is for a diffl-aer given by Mr. Johnson n party of his friends." ('arter looked aghast, during this revelation, while Paul stared helplessly at the man as he continued to draw I;,rth Lill after bill. "G , L , od gracious!" he exclaimed, as the thirteenth bill w:is laid on the table before hint. "Von surely don't expect me to pay for all this row clin2;— "Well, j rather thoudt," said the man, quietly, "that you woU - 1,1 prefer to ray these biNi and amid s,:and4." "But I won't," said Paul. excitedly. "I'm not ping to ruin myself' to pay the debts or a miserable, hypocriticalspend thrift." "Just as you pltE , c," said the man, coolly, gathering-up the hills and replacing theta in his book. "We'll see about that. I dare eay there's plenty mere coming— bills, I mean. Johnson was a gay man, I can tell you." 'A gay man !" repeated Mrs. Carter, wonderingly. "Well, well. lam sorry to press these little things, but when people dance they must pay the piper, you know." "Mary," said Paul, when the nun had gore, "what do you think of that paragon of yours now?" Mary's answer was a torrent of te;:r; Iferidol had been shattered to atoms, and she felt like a ship adrift. "And I suppose that I will have to pay these bills," said Paul, gloomily, "even if we have to live on bread and water for a year !" * * * * * "What is the matter now, Paul ?" asked Carroll, anxiously, as his friend strolled into his room, with a very downcast visage. In reply Paul told him about Johnston's perfidy. - "How dot's Mrs. Carter take it ?'' asked Maurice. "Very hard," said Paul, gloomily. "I don't think I'll hear much in praise of the late liusband hereafter." "I shouldn't think so," sa'd Maoriee, laughing. - "It's a great reiier," said Paul, 'but at a heavy cost." "Oh, if that's all that troubles you," said Maurice smiling, "I can relieve you of your anxiety. Behold the bills !" and he thrust a bundle ef papers in Paul's hied. "Why, how did you become possused or then: ?" asked Panl, wonderingly. "Well, the fact is," admitted Maurice, "I wrote them." "You?" 'Yes, I. I-sent the nutn—one of my friends, with them.

There i 3 no relation of life in which the natural salfishuess of man comes out so strongly as in traveling. People who, when at home, or among their friends, are not only polite, considerate of the comfort of others, but even self sacrificing in trifles, often become grasping, repellant, morose, when they get on a railroad train to go traveling. Too ofteu they seek their own comfort to the disregard of the rights of others. A man will enter a train and take a whole seat, and so arrange his baggage as to cover the whole of it, so as to keep any one else from occupying a part of it. He only pays for one scat, and he knows perfectly well that he has no right to oc cupy two, and yet he does so frequently, until he is forced to yield, and then he does so with as bad grace as possible. It matters not that other men may be stand ing up in the cars; he rarely has the grace to invite one of them to sit by him. He sits and looks as forbidding as possible, or turns his back and gazes out of the window so as to prevent, if possible, any one from requesting him for a seat beside him. The ladi , 2s are in this respect no better than the men, and they are more perfectly wasters of the situation. She is protected by her sex in her selfishness and her dis regard of the comfort of her sisters. A gentleman does not like to ask her for a seat, though he has a perfect right to do so. Even another lady is at a disadvantage in asking her for a seat. A cold, haughty, insolent manner and an intrenched air of possession usually enables her to hold her double seat against all eNnprs. The po• liteness of men to women rarely fails in America, and it is no unusual thing for two gentlemen to rise to give a lady a whole double seat because another lady fltils to offer her a seat. Now in this case each lady secures her double seat at the price 'of the discomfort of two fellow-travelers. When it is a man who behaves thus the remedy is comparatively simple. There is even a sort of pleasure in applying it. The passenger who on entering the car finds all the double seats occupied by Luce who re fuse to make room for him, dollen tempted to pick out the most exclusive looking of them and go up and coolly and business- r like tell him to make room, and then sit down by him in as roomy and spacious a style as possiple, and then hum or whistle some slow, plaintive air—kind o' sad like. This inflicts agonies upon the exclusive travele-, and gives to the new comer that calm inward repose which comes from the infliction of righteous punishment. Yet how much better it would be for the ladies to make place for their fellow female • travelers, and to exchange the little courte- • sies that brighten the journey; how much better it would be for the men to promptly make room for the new cowers and get in to friendly chat by the way. This selfish exclu.siveuess in traveling does not pay. One does not get the most of the voyage in that way.—Boltimore Gazctfr. Faro Bi;i's Sermon. AN EXCITIN‘; sWENE AT TETE CLOSE OF TITS REMARKS UPoN THE PRODIGAL SUN Many had, no doubt, conic through cu riosity to see how Bill, recently converted, would deport himself in this, his initial sermon. Upon the stage, sat a burly, red• faced man, with arms thlded in a careless manner, who looked over the large audi ence with an air or the most decided inde pendence. This was Faro Bill, the speaker of the occasion. When lie arose he glanced around the tent a in anent, evidently col lectiug his thoughts, and began : "Feller citizens, the preaele.m. Lein' absent, it falls On me to take his hand and play it for all it is worth. You all know that. I'm just learnin' the game, and of course, I may he expected to make wild breaks, but I don't believe thar's a rooster in the camp mean enough to take advantage o' my ig norance, and cold deck me right on the first deal. I'm sincere in this new depar ture, an' I believe that I've struck a game that T can play clear through without cop perin' a bet, fur when.a mm tackles such a lay ow, as this, he plays every card to win, an' if lie goes through the deal as he orter do, when he lays down to die, an' the last ease is ready to slide from the box, he call the turn every time. I was readin' in the Bible today that yarn about the Prodigal Son, an' I want to tell yer the story. The book don't give no dates, but it happened long, long ago. This Prodi gal hail an old man that put up the coin every time the kid struck him for a stake, an' never kicked at the sizo of the pile either. 1 recoil the old man was purty well fixed, an' when lie died he intended to give all his wealth to this kid and his brother. Prod gave the old man a little game o' talk one day, and injured him to whack up in advance o' the death racket. He'd no sooner ?' o'ot his divy in his fist than he shook the old man an' struck out to take in some o' other camps. lie hod a way up time for awhile, ad' slung his cash to the front like he owned the best payin' lead on arth, but hard luck hit him a lick at last an' left him flat. The book don't state what lie went broke on, but I reckon he got steered up agiu some brace game. But anyhow he got left without a chip or a four bit piece to go an' cat on. Au old Granger then tuk him home an' set him to herding hogs, an' here he got so hard up an' hungry thati he piped off the swine while they were feedin' au' be stood in with 'em on a husk lunch. He soon weakened on such plain provender, an' says he to himself, says he : "Even the old wan's hired hands are livin' on square grub, while I'm worryin' along here on corn husk straight. I'll jint take a grand tumble to myself an' chop on this racket at once. I'll skip back to the governor and try to fix things up, and call fur a new deal," so off he started. The old man seed the kid a coming, and what do you reckon he did ? Did lie pull his gun and lay for him, intending to wipe him as soon as he got into range, ? 1)i;.1 lie call the dogs to chase him oil the ranch ? Did he hustle around for a club and give him a stand off at the front gate? Eh ? Not to any alarming extent he didn't. No, air! The Scripture book says he waltzed out to meet him, and froze to him on the spot, and kissed him, and then marched him off to a clothing store and fitted him out in the nobbles:, rig to be had fur coin. Then the old gent invited all the neighbors and kill c,l a fat calf, and give the 'biggest blowout the camp ever seed." At the conclusion of the narrative the speaker paused, evi dently framing in his mind a proper ap plication of the story. Before he could resume, a tall, blear•eyed gambler, with a fierce moustache, arose and said : "Tain't me as would try ter break up a meeting, or do anything disreligious. No, sir; I am not that sort cf a citizen. But in all public hoe doos it is a parliamentary rule for anybody as wants to as questions to rise up and fire them off. I do not want t.er fuol away time a questioning the work ings of reigion—oh, no. As long as it is kept in proper bounds, and does not inter fere with the boys in their games, I do not see as it can do harm. I just want to ax the honorable speaker if he has not give himself dead away ? Does it stand ter reason that a bloke would feed upon corn husks when there was hash factories in the camp ? Would anybody hey refused him the-price of a squre meal if he hed a struck them fur it ? Would any of the dealers that beat him out of his coin see him starve ? As I remarked afore, Ido not want to make any disrespectable breaks, but I may say that I have got it put up that the speaker has been trying ter feed us on cussed thin taffy, and no one but a silly would take it in." Bill glared upon the speaker and fairly hissed : "D. you mean to say that I am a liar ?" "Wal, you can take it just as you choose. Some folks would swallow it in that shape." Bill pulled his revolver, and in an instant the bright barrels of numerous weapons flash . ed in the air as the friends of each party prepared for active duty. The brevet preacher was the first to tire, and the rash doubter of spiritual truths fell dead on the ground. Shot followed shot in quick suc cession, and when quiet was again restored a score or more of dead and wounded men was carriedfrom the tent. Having secur- ed attention, Bill said : "Further proceed ings is adjourned for the day. You will receive the doxology." A Remarkable Type of Man. An Afghanistan correspondent of the London Times, writes : 'The next regiment to arrive was the Fifth Goorkhas. A more remarkable type of man than the Goorkha does not exist. In the first place they are all bill men. and therefore invaluable in any frontier war. fare. Their absurdly small stature is com pensated for by their great daring, activity and courage. Their principal idea of hap piness is bloodshed ; but at the same time, they only exhibit this temperament on service, and at all other times, when their passions are not aroused, they are the most charming and good natured set of people a any natives of India. They laugh and chaff and enjoy a joke like an Eng ,lishroan, and, I believe, are not too par ticular about caste. Each man, besides the ordinary soldier's egaipment of a rifle, carries a kind of sword, or rather dirk, called a 'cookery.' Their curved blades are always kept as sharp as a razor, and the astonishing rapidity with which they can clear a space for an encamping ground proves how ably they can use this, their natural and national weapon of defense, or rather attack. During the frontier cam paign againq the the JowakiAfridis, they are said tohave told their non commission• ed officers that if the general commanding only give half the regiment leave to go off independently into the hills for a few days they would guarantee to return in less than a week having killed or captured. every Jowaki in the country."' . Why is Pain a Mystery ? Pain, when found associated with dis ease, accompanies it as an accidental con dition, but does not precede it as a warn ing. This fact is well illustrated in the history and growth of certain tumors. A tumor of precisely the same nature will in one part of the body be associated with se. 'yore suffering, while if it happens to grow in another part of the body it will be pain less. Nor can we rely upon the presence or the amount of pain as affording any criterion of the severity of the disease.— Pain is often severe in quite haru►iess and trivial disturbances of health, while, as I have already pointed o►ut, it is frequently abicnt in some stages, and occasionally throughout the whole course of fatal n►ala dies. Indeed, so far arc arc from beim.; warned off from disease by pain, that it would certainly be more correct to say. with regard to some of our aCquired dis eases, that we are in a manner I'►re3 on to them by pleasure. "The gods are just, an,l (.1 our id, writ vie Make instruments to p;ague Ey," It has been maintained that in infancy especially is pain necessary as a warning, and we meet in popular essays on pin, statements such as th , s:. - !: -Every man owes.his life to day to the pains of hunger which he felt when an infant; if hunger were not painful, children would. not take food;" "if falling down were not painful children would never learn to walk up right." But I would ask in answer to such statements—as a matter of fact—who ever thinks of trusting to pain as a warn ing to protect infancy from danger ? I do ' not know of any infants belonging to de cent people who are allowed to suffer the "pains of hunger." I should say they more frequently suffer from the pains of repletion. I contend that appetite is more of a pleasure than a pain—a pleasureable excitement; this the infant has, as well as the positive pleasure of feeding to urge it. The infant's danger rather lies in being allowed to indulge this pleasure too freely. Need I point out that falling down is not necessarily painful to children ? An infant falls down many hundreds of times on his bed, quite painlessly, before he acquires the power and art of walking. Does any one really believe, I am tempted to ask, that if it were not for the pain of falling down we should be going about on all fours ? On the other hand, I may urge, that the child who, ignorant of the pro perties of boiling water, drinks from the spout of a kettle and dies in consequence, had had little useful warning from pain. It is not pain that prevents a child from falling out of a high window and being killed, or from walking into the water and being drowned, or from eating poisonous herbs or berries. In all these matters it ' is absolutely dependent on the knowledge and experience of its parents or elders, un til it has acquired for itself a knowledge of the common properties around it ' - and most of this knowledge is conveyed by di rect instruction from its parents and others. Mr. Hinton appears to have realized, though only partially, the weakness of this argument, for be says : "There is nu ad equate explanation to be found of pain in the beneficial effects which it produces in respect to our physical existence ;" and then he adds, with something of self con tradiction, "It serves these uses—is be nevolently meant to serve them, doubtless, as our hearts irrepressibly affirm. Now, this is a typical example of a method of reasoning which not unfrequently com mend itself' to this often acute thiaer.— It is a strange mixture of appeals some times to the head and sometimes to the heart. Ile can appeal to the reason, and forcibly, too, when it suits his purpose to do so; but the instant he feels he cannot convince the reason, he fills back upm the feelings. I know nothing more ditli cult to meet fairly than this on and oft kind of logic.—ne Contemporary Ri.f. VICW Only a Printer's Dream. A printer sat in his easy chair, his boots were patched and his coat threadbare, and his face looked weary and worn with care. While sadly thinking of business debt, old Morpheus slowly round him crept, and be. fore he knew it he soundly slept, and sleeping he dreamed be was dead, from trouble and toil his spirit had fled, and that not even a cow bell tolled forth the peace ful rest of the cow hide sole. As he wand ered among the shades, that smoke and scorch in lower Hades, he shortly observ ed an iron door that creakingly hung on hinges ajar, but this entrance was closed with a red hot bar, and Satan himself stood peeping out, waiting for travelers thereabouts, and thus to the passenger printer spoke : "Come in dear; it shall cost you noth ing, and never fear. This is the place where I cook the ones who never pay their subscription sums; for though in life they may escape, they will find when they are dead it is too late ; I will show you the place where I melt them thin, with red hot chains and scraps of tin, and als) where I comb their heads with broken glass and melted lead, and if of refreshments they only think, there's boiling water for them to drink, there's the red hot grindstone to grind his nose, and the red hot rings to wear on his toes, and if they mention they don't like fire I'll sew up their mouth with red hot wire; and then, dear sir, you should see them squirm, when I roll them over to cool and turn." With these last words the printer awoke, and thought it all a practical joke; but still at times so real did it seem, that he cannot believe it was all a dream, and often he thinks with a chuckle and grin, of the fate of those who save their tin and never pay the printer.

The Corals of the Indian Ocean. • Of all the wonderful sights in this land of wonders there are none greater than the wonders of the reef when the tide is /ow. The ideas about coral which people have who have never seen it in its living state are generally erroneous. They know it is a beautifully white ornament under a glass s!ritle, or in delicate pink branches in their jewelry, and they imagine living coral is like these. Their ideas are helped along by the etnimien niisnomer *of trees and IA am:Les as applied to cor,l. I have never seta it in the Seed' ;_•;ea lslautls , but throu;.,,hout the Eastern seas the in. com mon variety takt:: a laminated t;trm, not unlike the large fungi to he met with any summer's day in an English wood growing out of the older trees. Flat, circular tables of dingy brown, growing one over another, with spaces ander each. These attain a great size. extending ftr yards without a hreak. so that th , bo!yro or the sf , :t is per fectly level. This kind is touch sought after by the lime burners. Anol her species grows in detached bosses, like thick stem med plants which the gardner has trimmed around the top. These clumps grow out of the sand, and stand up in a dull brown against the white flooring. A third pat tern is spiked :like stags' horns tangled together, and is of a dingier brown than ' the first. Its spikes collects the drifting weeds, and its appearance is consequently untidy. There are scores of varieties of corals and mad repores, but the three mentionad ,ere those which priocipally make up the mass which is ever growing under the still waters inside the reef. At Malieburg the reef is distant seven miles from the shore, and thewhole of this great lagoon is in progress of filling up by coral. There are one or two holes left capriciously and a channel which the river has cut to the reef, which it pierces in what is locally called a "pass." E7erywhere else the bot tom is only a few feet under the water and is always slowly rising. The various corals, the patches of silver sand, the deep wind - ing channel, tend each a tint to the water —sapphire blue, where it is deepest, sea green with emerald flecks, or cerulian blue shot with opaline tints, in the shallows. The reef is a solid wall, shelving toward the shore, absolutely perpendicular toward the ocean, and varies in width from twenty to one hundred yards. Against the outer face the rollers rage incessantly. Swell follows swell, smoothly and regularly. There is no hurry, for there is no shelving bottom to keep them back. On they come, separating their ink blue masses from the tumble of the ocean, rearing aloft their crest, like live things anxious to try their strength, and fall with a roar on its edge as it stands up to meet them. You can stand within a few feet of the practically bottomless sea and watch them tumble, with tile water no further than your knees, as the surge of their onward rush carries across the reef. To stand so and watch them c.nning on appears, to one unused to tile sight, to court destruction ; the wave is so vast, its crest rising higher as it ad vances shuts out the sea beyond—nothing can be seen but a wall of water rolling on ; its strength is so apparent, so irresistible. anti the pause it appears to take at the top curies over ?mu to check your breath. The rocks and lumps of dead coral with which storms have strewed the reef are high and dry ; the pools of limpid waters in the holes sink down and drain away, their surface glassy and their depths full of color and strange shaped living things, then the roller breaks and sends a surge of water hissing by, and the reef' has sank beneath the foam and babbling waters. The Pulse. Many erroneous impressions prevail about the pulse as indicative of health cr disease, a common notion being that its beatings are much more regular and unithrm than they really are. Frequency varies with age. In the new born infant the beatings are from 130 to 140 per minute; in the second year, from 100 to 115; from the seventh to the thurteentli year, from SO to 90; from the fourteenth to the twenty first year, from 75 to 55; from the twenty first to the sixtieth year, from 7U to 75. After that period the pulse is generally thought to decline, but medical authorities differ radically on this point, having expressed the most contradictory opinions. Young persons are often fuund whose pulses are below 60, and there have been many in stances of pulses habitually reaching 100, or not exceeding 40, without apparent dis• ease. Sex, especially in adults, influences the pulse, which in women is from 10 to 14 beats to the minute more rapid than in men of the same age. Muscular exertion, even position, materially affects the pulse. Its average frequency in healthy men of twenty-seven is, when standing, S 1 ; when sitting, 71 ; when lying, 6d per minute ; in women of the sane age, in the same positions, 91, SI awl 70. Iu sleep the pulse is in general considerably slower titan during wakefullness. In certain diseases —acute dropsy of the brain, for example —there may be 150, even 200 beats; in other kinds of disease, such as apoplexy and some organic affections of the heart, there may be no more than 20 to 30 to the minute. Thus, one of the commonest diagnostic signs is liable to deceive the must experienced practitioners. A Lump of Soft Coal. For years no one bad supposed that a lump of soft coal, dug from a mine or bed in the eaAh, possessed any other purpose than that of fuel. It was next found that it would afford a gas that was combustible. Chemical analysis proved it to be made of hydrogen. In process of time. mechanical and chemical ingenuity devised a mode of manufacturing this gas and applying it to the lighting of building and cities on a large scale. In doing this other products of distillation were developed until, step by step, the followitoz, ingredients are ex tracted from it : Au excellent oil to sup ply light-houses, equal to (he best sperm oil, at lower cost. Benzoic, a light sort of ethereal fluid which evaporates easily, and, combined with vapor or moist air, is used for the purpose of portable gas lamps, so Naptlia, a heavy fluid, used to dis solve gutty percha and india rubber ; an excellent oil for lubricating purposes.— Asphaltum—which is a black, solid sub stance, used in making varnishes, covering roofs and covering over vaults. Paraffin° —a white crystaline substance resembling white wax, which can be made into beau tiful candles similar to wax; it melts at a temperature of 110 degrees, and affords an excellent light. All these substances are now made from soft coal. Tag editor of a Nevada newspaper gives notice that be cannot be bribed with 4 five-cent cigar to write a five-dollar-puff. SUIWCRIBE for the JOURNAL.
