She was the "Gull," Captain Varino master, on - her way from Cag liari to Palermo. She had on board two seamen, and tWo passengers. . These passengers were Englishmen, who had procured passage on the "Gull" to. Palermo, whence they intended to em bark by steamer to Marseilles the folloW ing day. While the captain and his assistants were attending to• their duties, and ex pressing apprehensions as to their safety, the two Englishmen stood apart, leaning against the IoW bulwarks, and surveying 'the wild scene around them' These men were•both' young, apparent ly of the same age, about three and twen ty, but evidently they were not of the same station in life. One, the more striking of the two, was aristocratic in his bearing, tall...slender and handsome, with a frank, smiling mouth, a pair t of' fearless blue eyes, set underia wide and massive forehead, and tawny hail blowing back- from his fade. Noble, generous and kind-hearted, he had an adventurofis d.spositiou and a daunt less courage. He was Guy Tressilian. the only son and heir of Sir-Arthur Tressilian, - Da rb net, of Tressilian. Court, England: llis companion presented a remarkable resemblance to Inrq; being also tall and slender and tawny' hair and: moustacheybuthe hadnot the frank smile the bright, fearless look, .or the joyous spirit that characterized young Tressi lian. Young as he was, he had seen much of the dark side of -life, and - his experi ences bad been' such as to develop in hint some of the worst qualitiekyof:_liis nature. iie,«•as Jasper Lowder Guy Tressiliau 7 s hired. tram•eling cornpamoit and bosom- - friend. Themeeting, and connection of the two had a touch of romance.' Young Tressi ban had spent four years in a German university, whence he had been graduat ed with honor. - Qn leaving the univer sity, in obedience to his father's written command, be had undertaken a tour of the countries inclosing the Alediterradean sea, in company with one of his late tu tors. . This gentleman being unexpected ly promoted to a professorship, abandon ed Tiessili , n ,13aden, leaving, him to find another traveling dompa , ion. . On the evening of the very day after this desertion; as Guy Tressilian was sauntering through the streets of Baden, he had been insulted-by a. trio of his' own .countrymen, all more or less intoxicated: , It was apparent that they took him for another, and intended to wreath venge ance upon him. , Without allowing him to'srieak: they forced him to defend him- , self. Guy was getting the worst of the conflict, when a stranger came' running to his assistance; and in a few moments the two had put the ruffians to tight. This stranger who had come so oppor tunely to Gfiv.,'s .atisistance was _Jasper — l2sii 7 der. iesemblatic to young TresSilitiMawakened:in the :latter a ro mantic interest, Ire questioned Lowder, learned that he.was poor and akine in the world, and4took,him with him, to his ho tel. .Believing .that the similarity - of the features indicated a similarity of taste and mature, he engaged Lowder as, his :traiieling companion, and . the past year they. had. spent together .more like brothers than like employer and emplolf.- • ed. "This '.toriri - is a regular' levanter,v, said Lowder, clinging.with both hand's to thelmlwarks. .••Do you think the craft :stalid'it,•Tressilian?" . "Coh, yes," answered young Tressian, , wiping the' salt spray from his face. . "The captain knows the Sicilian coast perfectly.. -In. , two hours, or less;-we shall be in the^bav of - Palermo: In three'hours we shall lie domiciled in the best rooms of .the hotelarinadria, with tne beat-supper which Weser Ra , usti can furnish; And to-morrow; at noon," he Added, ,'We shall ;'embark.for.

I have had a -3 - Car of unalloyed happiness, amitonow `gottvg TEE APPIAN WAY LEESE CII.I.PTER I comes back the drudge' y, the hopeless toil, thd anxieties of the wretched old life. You picked me up at Baden, a poor ad venturer seeking to rain a living by teaching English and the same destiny is open to me now." Tressilian turned his handsome face upon his companion in surprise and af fectionate reproach. - Jasper!" he exclaimed. "You talk strangely. Do you suppose I have called you friend and brother so long and loved you so well, to• lose you now? 'I meant to have written to my father concerning yen and your future, Jasper, but his sud den recall. received yesterday, causes mile . to return home without writing. I shall telegraph from Marseilles that you Nvill come home with me. And you will. will you not? You will not abandon me, my friend? I will charge myself with your future'. 1 will see that you obtain the position to which your talents entitle you. You have no ties to keep you the continent?" A strange expression passed over .Jas per Lowder's face. - "No, I have no ties,'' he said huskily. "And you will go home with me?" "What will your father say at my com ing?'' demanded Lowder. "Ile will think your generosity Quixotic. lte will dismiss from his house the hired com panion who dares to resemble his son." A sudden lurch of the little vessel, a 'wave sweeping over the deck, interrupted the sentence: "You wrong my father," said Trcssi- Han, his blue eyes kindling, when the ves sel had righted. "He is the noblest man in the world. lie Nvi 11 welcome my friends as his own. You will love him, Jasper, as I do, when you know him." -Ito doesn't seem very affectionate," remarked Lowder. "You have been away from your home for five years, and he had but just recalled you!" Young Tressilian's cheeks flashed, as Lowder saw in the lurid glow that mo mentarily lighted up the tempestuous scene. "You know, or can guess, the reason, Jasper, he said, with something of an ef fort. -My father has a ward. the da ugh of an old friend.—Alt! hear that wind shriek! the gale is increasing!" "Yes," assented Lowder. ''and the ward is Miss Irby—the golden-haired Blanche of whom you have talked so much, and with whom you have exchang ed letters?" "Yes. My father formed a project to have me marry Blatiehe. lie did not wish us to grow up together, lest we should, learn to regard each other as broth er and ',-Sister. When Blanche came to live at the court my father sent me to Germany. The night before I left home, he called me into his library and told me all his hopes and plans for my future, and entreated the to continue worthy of his innocent ward, and to keep my heart pure for her. I have done so, Jasper. I have never yet loved any woman. And yesterday I received my father's sum mons to come home. Ile has recalled me after live years of absence. I know the wish that lies nearest his heart. He wants me to return and marry Blanche. I shrink from the proposed marriage. I dread going home. And I dread offend ing my dear father, whom I love better than any woman. It is hard, Jasper, to revolt again t the hopes and plans of a kind and generous ather, whose; very love for me causes him to urge on this marriage!" — ls it ?" said Lowder dryly, a strange smile-full of sneering bit terness. "My experience has been widely different ftotn yours Tressilian. Did I. ever tell you of -ivy father ?"

"What is your father's name, .Jasper?" asked TreSSlliati. Lowder's Jace . darkened, lie bit his lip savagely. "What I have told you about myself, I mc.‘i•ned from my own observation, or from enance words of my parents and grandmother. My mother's maiden name was Jeanette Lowder. At our London lodgings, my father _bore the name of Lowder. I don't know his real name, but I should know his face any where, although I have not seen him for thirteen years. My mother was actually married Tressiliau, but I never heard my father's name. The clergyman who mar ried my mother was dead ; the witnesses also. When my grandmother was dying. she tried to tell me the story. She had Put it off too long. All that I could un m erstand of her mumblings was the name of Deveraux.

But as I should never find him if I sought lihn, and as he would repulse me if I. did find him, I stand no chance of inheritinc; his property. Ile maybe dead. Ile may have other sons who have suc ceeded him. It is a mystery, but time prominent truth is that I am an out cast, poor, disowned and friendless." lie leaned over the bulwark, the spray dashing over his face violently. Tressilian's heart warmed to Idle. "My poor friend !" he said. — Must I say again you are not friendless while live. My father has influence enough to obtain for you a government appointment. This tangle may straighten itself out some day. But if it don't you are reso lute enough to make your own happiness." Ire grasped Lowder's hand, and looked with warm bright eyes, full of sympathy, into Lowder's lowering face. There had been a temporary in the storm. But as the two stood there, the tempest revived and swept Lover the wild sea in maddened rage. There was no time for talking now.— The wind rose so high that words would scarcely have been distinguished. The storm that had goer before had been lint play to this awful outburst. The vessel drove on e caking and groaning, .a nacre cockle shell on the billows. ••Mother of Mercies !" wailed the cap tain. — lt's all up with us, signores. I can't make out the Cape in this darkness. We shall go on the rocks. St. Anthony save us !" The seamen echoed his cries. The two young Englishmen, compre hending their peril, clasped hands in si lence. For the next few minutes it seemed that a Pandemonium reigned. Then a noise like the report of a cannon suddenly boomed through the storm and the darkness. The little vessel shivered, staggered and careened upon her side. • She had struck upon a rock. A moment later. crew and passengers 'lntl with o' stauMli.liagjp-thezaters. A-few moments dr -bufranigniTiaa . ifigs, of vain struggles and agonized. in • voluntary prayer; and then Jasper Lowder - felt his senses slip from - - him and become unconscious.' Whenshe came to himself, he was lying upon a rocky beach of the Sicilian shore s sore, bruised, and as weak as a child. ' Ile opened his eyes. The wind had spent its fury and now moaned along the coast with desperate wall. The waves beat against the rocks. Lowder struggled to his elbow. -Wrecked!" lie muttered. "I am cast ashore, while the others are drowned! Oh. this is terrible! I have lost my best friend to-night!" Ile moaned and wrung his hands. ' "Ile is dead, who would have done so much for me. and I so worthless am saved! All my hopes of an easy and luxurious life must be resigned now!" At that moment be beheld a dark object at a little distance in the water. The waves hurled this object against the pro jecting head of a sunken rock. At the same instant Lowder recognized it as the body of a man. Ile crept toward it,and the, waters dash ed the body on the shore at his feet. Ilow cold and wet it was! It felt like the face of a dead man. Lowder's lingers came in contact with the soft, silken mustache, and lie knew that the body was that of Guy Tressil lan ! Of the live who had stood on the sloop's deck a half-hour earlier, these two alone were left. The captain and crew had found their deaths among the ernel.yawn ing waters. Lewder thrust his baud under the waist coat of his friend, but lie could not per ceive the beating of his heart. Despair took possession of him. "Dead!" he said shrilly. "Dead! And lie would have done so much for me if he Via lived! And his father and the young girl he was to have married will wait in vain for his coining ! His pla c at Tressilian Court is empty. Who can fill it?" It seemed to him that some demon at his side echoed the question: "Who could Jill the plate left vacant by noble Guy Tressilian? A thought cane to hint—a thought so strange and sinister that he shivered in voluntarily. Again he felt of Tressilian's head and discoveled a g“iiing wound in the skull. The hair was clotted with blood. Putting his hand into his breast. pocket, Lowder drew out his little water-proof match-safe. Ile opened it with trembling fingers and strucka light. The red flick er danced on your; Tressiliar.'s face. llow ghastly - and terrible it looked! The eyes were closed, the smile was gOllO. The seal of death seemed set on the noble features. Lowder examined the wound. It bad been made by contact with the sharp rock, and even Lowder preeeived its terrible character. " It: he is not dead, he soon veil be," be muttered. "His brain has received au awful injury. lle will never know who he is again. lie won't live till morning, and he is perhaps dead already. lie must be dead:" Again it seemed to him as though some deinond echoed his words. The match dropped from his fingers into the water. For a little while he crouched on the wetstones in silence,bat tling it may be with the better and nobler instincts of his nature. St last, with sudden and abrupt stealth iness, his hands stole into the breast pock et of Tressilian and drew out his private note-book, a packet of letters, and a few trinkets. He secured these among his own wet garments. Their possession seemed to give him courage, and his face hardened, and he knelt beside the body of his friend and rifled his garments of all that they contained, bestowing his plun der on his own person. Then he took his own purse, his note book, a few receipts and ,trifles from his own pockets, and put them in the pockets of Tressilian. "It is done!" he whispered to himself, looking with wild detlant eyes through the darkness. "No one is harmed. Ile is dead. If he had lived, he would have provided for me. As he is dying or dead I must provide for myself. this likeness between us will make my fortune. His friends will be spared Iv - terrible grief,and $2,00 Per Year, in Advance; 82.50 if not Paid in Advance I—l shall live at last! Fortune gives me a chance to gain name and wealth at one lucky stroke!" As if to give himself no chance for re pentance, he arose to his feet and turned his searching glances in an inland direc tion. A light, as from a cottage window, glimmering faintly through the thick haze, caught his gaze. liaising his voice, he called loudly: `•llelpi Ito, there. The wind had abated, and his cries rang out through the night with startling dis tinctness. The light he had seen moved and disappeared. A minute later, an swering cries leached Lowder's ears, and he heard hasty steps, and saw the ap proaching light of a lantern, borne aloft by a loan's upraised arm. •'This way!" shouted Lowder. "We are wrecked on the rocks! For the love of Heavens, hasten!" The bearer of the lantern, attended by a male companion, came running to him, and was soon at his side. The lantern bearer was a rough Sicilian fisherman, a grade above his class. His companion was also a Sicilian, but evidently of some what a higher degree. Both were all ex citement, astonishment and sympathy. In a few words as possible Lowder told the story of the shipwreck, and called at tention to the condition :of his noble employer. "I think he is dead!" he said, in a chok ing voice. "Carry lihn up to your cabin. Let eyeryth ng be done that can be done to save him. I will pay you well for any kindness to him. Poor fellow! Ile was my traveling companion. [ loved him as if had been my own brother, instead of only my hired attendant! Poor Jasper!" The two Sicilians lifted the helpless form of poor young Tressilian, and car ried it between them toward their cot tage. Jasper Lowder followed them, be wailing his loss.

[WHOLE NUMBER, 20 871 IIN AMD'S/NG DOMESTIC EPISODE The following is from the Elmira (New York) Gazette, of November 22: In a certain city, not so far away from this as to make it less of local interest, a few evenings since a party of friends met at a social gathering at a fashionable restaurant. Some were bachelors, and some were in the enjoyment of "Heaven's best gift to moil" The evening was cold, and most of them wore overcoats. Two of them were nearly alike, and were owned respectively by Charley G--- and Charley S-; one of them. was married and the other single, and a 'wild fellow, who as fast he was, out of one scrape was into another. His friend Charley G is a sober nun, cherish ing a bright-eyed, but jealous hearted little wife who loves him tenderly. He found it difficult to obtain permission to attend the supper at all. It was giveii, at last, with the under standing that he would come home early. He did not. however, but sat late; so very late, indeed, that he slept soundly the next morning. He had met with a mis fortune, too, having stumbled on his way Lome and rolled over in the street. His wife, however, set about repairing the mishap the next morning by cleansing the muddy overcoat. While :engaged in this occupation her hand by the merest chance in - the world strayed into the side pockets of his co :t, and encountered a neatly folded liißet dour, subscribed sim ply to Charley, which read: "Do not go to that horrid supper, love, but come to me instead. lamso ' lonely. Your devoted KATE." Oh my I but the,litle blue eyes flashed— the color came and went upon her cheek and forhead—when she read the few lines. There was a moment's, patise as if to still the intensity of passion, and the Mr. (4 was rudely shaken from his bed. "What's the meaning of this, sir ?" and the little hands trembled with pas sion, as the offending paper was held up before the culprit. "I don't know. Who brought it ?" "Who brought it sir ? I found it in your coat pocket. Mr. G. . I want an explanation. I will have one. I want a divorce, too !" Mr. G was fully aroused by this time. Ile protested he knew nothing of the note ; he did not know how the treacherous little thfng got into his pocket. He appealed to his wife's sense. She would hear no denial, but instead, made another dive into the coat pocket. Another little missive rewarded her search. It was brimful of the tenderest endearments, and dated only two days back, but was in another handwriting, very beautiful, and signed "Jennie." "Oh! you Turk—just look at that!" and while Charley's bewildered eyes were pe rusing the letter another visit was paid lito the receptacle of love—another letter came out. It called Charley cruel,.false, deceitful; said that Fanny's broken he? •-- would be laid at , his door;_aud,tliat his • ' "once,hivid darlini would - die earlY," - " .

Why Brigham Young would be ashamed to do as you have done!" Another dive was made to the pocket, and letter after letter was drawn out, un til a dozen strewed the floor, all evincing the tenderest love for Charley. Unable, to code with the storm of indignation, he made a hasty exit from the room, and, leaving the house, he left his wife to med itate upon divorce or suicide at leisure. A few minutes after, however, the ser vant of Charley S. appeared with Mr. C 's overcoat, and respectfully solicited the return of histnaster's. ABOUT BILIOUSNESS A clergyman comes in to see me about a dozen times a year about his bilious ness. Biliousness is a common malady. I know a great many people who are bil ious. They have no dyspepsia, they nev er had symptoms of dyspepsia in their lives; they are only "bilious." Now this word biliousness is a sort of respectable cover for piggishness. People are not bilious who eat what they should. Reader, are you bilious? (Rather a hard question after the above hard word.) Let me prescribe for you. If you follow my prescription, and don't get well, write me, and in the next edition I will an nounce my error. First, on getting up and_going to bed, drink plenty of cold water. Eat for breakfast, until the bilious at tack passes, a little stale bread, say one slice. and a piece as large as your hand of boiled lean beef or mutton. If the weath er is warm, take instead a little cracked wheat or oatmeal porridge. For dinner take about the same thing._ Go without your supper. ExerciSefreely in the open air; produc ing perspiration, once or twice a dilv. In a few days your biliousness is all gone. This result will come, even though the biliousness is one of the spring sort, and one with which you have, from year to year, been much afflicted. Herb drinks, bitter drinkS, lager beer, ale, whiskey.and a dozen other spring medicines, are simply barbarous.—Dio Lewis—Talks about People's Stomachs. A F A 3111,17 if7E-110L - SE. —A practical ice mau says : If I were to build an ice-house for six or eight persons, I would build it ten feet long, eight feet wide, five feet high in the clear—put some loose boards on the ground —have the studding ten inches—double board and fill with sawdust, no matter how close the ice comes to the boarding; have the roof shingled—with a ventilator therein to let off bad air; have a ditch all around the house, say three feet off; bank up all around the house, for a current of air underneath will waste almost as fast as you can put it in. After the ice is all in, cover the top with sawdust six inches deep and it will keep for years. I helped to ship ice last June, seven years old,solid and blue as when first put in—and of two ofthe buildings the roofs blew off over a a year ago, and the ice under the covering of sawdust showed no waste; cakes that would weigh from six to ten hundred pounds were so clear that a newspaper was read through the block, the paper - O - fi oite side and the person standing onMid other- '
