llo was Jlr. Morton rrehlo. fur
many years a lending banker in Sun

had been opened, giving ii)(;re. to the

in vain that llio walls WCrO lined
wjth richly carved book cases and

'and luxriuut chairs had been galhored

llo was wretched.
Ho lay on a sofa, in tho depths of
tho great bay-window, tho wreck of a
once powerful man. His figure was
thin and frnunt ; bis face was while as
marble ; his eyes having an cxprcettioii
of wonderful iipprehenoioii, of burrow
ing anxiety, of dreadful expectancy.
It was evident at a glance that no
merely physical ailment bad tnudo hi in
what be wus.
Hy what withering secret, by what
dest to) ing affliction, hud he been" thin
ngnni.cd ''. thus haunted? thus hunted J
he o nolilo and good ! he so wealthy
and diKlinguishcd !
As ho moved rcstles-dy upon liis
luxurious cushion, tho pretty cluck
on tho mantel jiiece struck five,cvety
stroke seemed to fall like a hammer
upon the hrnrl of tho nervous Invalid.
Ho aroti'cd himself, struggling feebly
to a silting posture.
"Uh, w ill this fatal day never,

Noticing with a ncrvouWVtarf ' inui-
he was alono, ho touched a bell upon a
lablo bclore him, and called :
"Helen, Helen 1 where aro you ?"
Iteforo the echoes of bis voice had
died out a step was heard, and his
wife entered his presence
"I left you only for a moment, Mor
ton," sho said, advancing to tho bank
er's side. "Yon were do.ing, 1 think.
I w ished to send for tho doctor I"
Sho was a beautiful woman, of some
six and thirty years, graceful, with
broad white brows, and loving eyes,
in which the brightness and sweolnes
of a sunshiny nsturo weio still per
rcpliula, under a grief and anxiety no
less poignniil Iha ii that evinced by her
huthnnd.
"1 ho doctor"' bo ccliocJ, half re
proachfully. "Yes, dear," sho said, in a Calm and
cheerful voice, ns she drow a chair to

I believe that wo shall yet rejoice
moro keenly than wo havo mourned,
and that we shall come to a glorious
day of joy beyond all this long night

Thofucoof tho invalid lighted lip
with an answering glow, and ho mur
mured :
'(iloi ious faith 1 My wife, you arc
indeed a blessed comforter! I'erhfips,
oftor all, you aro right."
A knock resounded on a sido-door
t this juncture and tho noxt momont
Dr. Hulton, the family physician, fur
wnom Airs. I'rublo had sent, entered
tho rt o:n.
Ho was an old man, portly in figure,
with while huir and beard, but with n
Iresh and ruddy complexion, a pair of
shrewd blue eyes, and with on exuber
ant boyiohncss of manner Uiat sat well
upon him. Ho bad a kind heart and
n clear head. Ho approached the sola,
after greeting the husbnnd and wife,
and lifted tho thin restless hand of the
invalid, feeling his pulse.
"tJuilo a high lever," he said, aflcr
a brief pause. "Worrying again, eh,
Mr. Treble f You arc wearing your
self out. Medicine w ill do you no good
so long ob your mind is in its present
condition. I must give you an opiate."
"Not now, docter," interposed the
banker. "I cannot must not sleep
to day ! I need to bo broad awake
now, for I cannot tell nt any moment
u hut tho next may bring forth. I am
looking for the culmination of all mv
years of anguish for tho crowning
agony oi tno w liolo. I crimps even
now ah, what's that" I
Ho started up wild! v. and then, as
the sound that hud disturbed him was
not repeated, he sank back oguin on
his cuHhior.H, pallid and panting.
The doctor looked at Mrs. I'rublo
with an anxious, questioning glance.
"It is the anniversary, sho replied
to his unspoken inquiry "tho anni
versary ol our loss."
"Ah, j-es, said the doctor, "I re
member."
"Yes, it's another of thoso terrible
days," cried tho banker, in a hollow
whisper. "Nt down, doctor, and 1
will tell you tho wholo story, lean
think of nothing olso to dav, and am
almopt wild with apprehension and
anxiety. Sit down.
Dr. ilutton drew nn a chntr and
seated himself, his faro expresning the
double solitude of a friend and phy
bician. "You knew ns fourteen venrs airo.
doctor," said Mr. Treble. Wo lived
then wtioro we do now, in a cottage1
on the sito of this great mnnsmn.
There were but the three of us Helen
and I, and our three-year old Jcssio.
And it was fourteen years ago to-day
that little Jcsmo was stolen from us."
"1 remember it," said tho doctor,
softly. "Yet might she not have been
lost, Mr. Treble? Sho went oat to
piny in tho garden, if I rer.-.emhcr
rightly, and wus never seen by you
again She might have strayed uwny."
"So wo thought for a w hole yenr,
doctor," interrupted tho banker. "We
never dreamed that sho had been
slolen. Wo senrtlicd everywhere fur
her, and offered immenso rewards for
her recovery. I employed detectives,
but all to no purpose. When our
littlo Jcwio ran down the stop' into
lhat flower garden" and ho pointed
to tho front of tho house, "as if the
earth had opened and swallowed her,
tip, wo never saw her again."
"She 'must havo found thn gate
open, and wandered out," suggested
lr. lJutton. "She might havo strolled
down tolhewalersaiid been drowned."
Tho banker fixed hi burning ryes
upon tho physician's face, and w his
pered :
"I said we never saw tho poor child
again. 1 tiid not sny wo had not heard
of her. Sho was lust on Ihe Hth of
Auguj-t, 1854. I'ora year we thought
her dead. But on tho anniversary of
our loss vvc received a written metenge
concerning her.

Ho produced a dingy scrap of paper

"Invariably by post " pen ied Mr.

There was a brLf silence Mrs.
Trcbla's hand fluttered in its task, and
her faeo grew very pale. The banker
breathed gaspingly. Tho physician
regarded them both in frietidly sym
pathy. "We shall hearof her again to-day,"
said Mr. Treble; "and what will tho

Tho mother averted her face. Her
brnvo heart faltered as thut question
echoed in her soul.

"Not tho slightest," said Mr. Treble.
"Wc hare puzzled over tho problem

"Think," said tho doctor. "Have

you wero called to testily no ono

Tho hunker shook his head, lie
had asei himself all these questioiss
repeatedly.
"And Mrs. Treble?" suggested the
doctor, turning to her. "Have you
no rejected suitor w ho might bo re
vengeful enough to desolate your

"No," said tho lady. "I was mar

Asuiming llint it is a duty, let us
consider the manner ol performing it.
Liko till other Christian practices,
thcro ought to bo uniformity in ihe
manner.
1. It is an improper manner of
performing this duly lo nod, pud for
iho plain reason that the worshipper
attracts too much attention. Wo nro
everywhere tutight to avoid oslenta
lious display in our worship. The
Pharisees were condemned for praying
at corner of tho streets, that liny
might bo seen of men. On tho same
principle tho nodding worshipper is
condemned, for ho is making too pub
lie a display of his devotions.
2. Nor is it propel to snoro in the
performance of ihis duly partly for
iho foregoing reasons; but mainly
because it is a direct infraction of tho
golden rule. Suppose, for instance,
that your next door neighbor is
uslccp; by j-our snoring ho will bo
disturbed, prohnbly awakened. This
is not doing unto others as you would
they should do to you.
3. It is wrong to injuro one's
health, whilo offering worship ; und
nil physicians admit that lo sleep with
the head thrown back and tho mouth
widu open is liahlo to produeo sore
throat and hoarseness. Tusides, flies
and cause, horrible
is very itiiiiriotis to hcnliti.
4. To sleep with tho head resting i
on iho arms of the worshipper, and

j mainly, because it is a direct violation
of tho Scriptures, which command ns
to let our light so ehino that men may
profit by our example. In this case il
is impossible to know whether the
Christian worshipper is asleep or
awake. It is a posiiivo case of luko
waruuicss neither '.ho one thing nor

WEBSTER'S ADVICE TO YOUNG
rESSENDEN.
In a notice of the funeral of Henatnr
Fcsseiiileii, a writer of the Portland
Ariut concludes ns follows:
Somo thirty five year ago and
perhaps more Daniel Webster con.
templutcd a journey to our Western
Si des and Territories, which he hud
never visited. Tho great statesman
felt inclined lo have some talented
young innn to accompany him, und
looking over No- England for such a
companion, his attention wss attracted
to young Fesscndon, nnd ho extended
tho invitation to travel with him. The
young mun gladly accepted tho invo
lution, lor lie wus ambitious, und felt
that it would bo an honor us well ns
an advunlngo to accompany in his
joiirnoy'ngs such a mun us Daniel
Webster, whoso fume, both ns a law
yer ami as a statesman, was fust loom
ing un before the American people, if
it had not already reached its height.
Young Fcssenden did accompany him,
and never hud cause to regret it.
Many a time and often the young
man hud told us how much ho enjoyed
the jonrr.oy, und whut advantage he
had derived from it ; for Mr. Webster
treated him with groat kindness, and
gave him much good advice, which ho
treasured up in his memory. Web.
slur told him how hard bo had studied,
and how careful ho wus in making out
papers when he commenced the prac
tice of law. He said ho never let a
writ or legal document pass from his
hands until he hud read it over threo
times at least. And still further re
narked that w hile many young men
were idling their timo bo was trim
ming tho midnight lump.
' Now id Webster, '1 have ac
quired somo fume, both as a luwyer
and ns un orator, and have mudo
speeches in which occurred some fig
ures and illustration often quoted,
and which hnve already pusscd into
mottoes. And now, do you suppose
those terse ssyings wero made from
tho spur of the moment? By no
means j they were the result of previ
ous study, and closo study, too. Somo
of my best illustrations of thought
havo been studied and trimmed down
when the fishing rod was in my band.
The words which so fitly represent
England's power, so often quoted and
so much praised, wero strung together
while 1 stood on tho American side of
tbe St. Lawrence river, neur Niagara
Fulls, and heard tho British drums "
heat on the Canadian side."
Many other statements he made to
young Fcsscnden which we recollect,
but which we havo not spneo to make
a record of now, nil of which prove
pretty conclusively that thcro is no
roynl pond to Icaruin?. Younrr -Fcs
scnden has often told iho writer that
hia journeying with Daniel Webslor
was tho best school ho ever nitcnood.
And the lessons he received from that
great man were never forgotten, hence
wc como to tho conclusion that Wil.
limn Titt Fes.senden was a harder slu.
dent ihnn many havo supposed him to
ue. ii is noi ioo much lo sny, perhaps,
that his keen logic, his terso language,
his power of condensation, his clear
statements and sharpness in debate
may be traced to the lessons which
Webster gave him while journeying
with him to tho West. Young men
who are ambitious lo excel in their
profession, will do well to make a nolo
of theso things, and govern thcmselvea
accordingly.
Married a Gooo Dual. A corre
spondent writes to the Warsaw (Mo )
Timet us follows : "About two yeura
ago a man by the naino of P ,
engaged in huckstering, came into
this vicinity, and after a few mouths
in his trade, married tho widow J ,
who had six children. Things went
on smoothly for a limo. Tben cume
storms and finally squulls. About tho
first or this month a woman from
Illinois, wiih six children, appeared
here, claiming Mr. T . as her truant
husband, and produced her certificate
of marriage. Thing looked blue for
Mr. P ,and bo treated tho mutter
ns a fraud. The Illinois wife led with
a view toeommenecsuit. On Monday
last Mr. T left for parts unknown.
On Tuesday a woman with six chil
dren, hailing from Tennessee, came to
tho villago claiming Mr. P as her
husband, A found the inexorable gone;
und sho also returned husbandless. On
Wednesday night somo strange party
drove up to tho liouso of Mr. P '
Cole Camp wife, and left a child upon
tho doorstep and then departed.
Rumor has it llint Mr. T also had
a wilo in tho vicinity of Lexington,
Mo., and from recent developments
wo aro inclined to believe it."
A Puzzle. Here is a question for
young arithmeticians, and others who
liko to crack an arilluneticial nut now
and then, lo try their wits upon. Two
.rubs sat dow n to dinner, and wer
accosted 113- a stranger, w ho requested
to join their parly, saying, "lhat he
could not gel provisions to buy in that
part of tho country, if they would ad
mit him to cut only an equal shiirt
with themselves ho would be willing
lo pay lliem tho whole." Tho frugal
meal consisted of eight smiill loaves of
bread, fivo of which belonged to on
of the A rubs, and three to the other.
Tho stranger having eaten a third
