Sons of one of the 'early German settlers were Karl Kronheirn and Louis Horn. They had. one mother and two fathers--whieh at first sight seems a complicated arrangement, but is intelligible when explained.— Gretchen Muller Came out, from the fittherland, .a< :maiden ;,_-•Attarrind onel Krenheirn ' who courted her on - board ship, bore him a sori ; buried him, and after twO,years ofinconsolable widow hood, took unto herself a second spouse by_the name of Horn. - Then , canatlydisseilyed the earthly partner ship of Gretchen, and - Heinrich Horn, , and their.

As. he .spoke the keen eyes that• were always fixed upon his, saw tem peirrising . fast, and threatening to: -overflow. Then the manager played his first move. "Mr. Sronheim,"' said be, stewly and :distinctly, "we don't intend to' pay this claim." 'What I" cried Sronbeim, startled' but not frightenad,. (that he.never was) ; "do I understand you Dr.' Sharpe, to say that you refuse to DAY inc the money 7" "I do." "On, what grounds V' "I decline to state my gronnds.' 4 ' "Y,o'u will not: state your :grounds' of refusal, and yet you refuse= to, pay the claim ?" "1 do:" "Then air, you and your company are swindlers, and I will sue you at' the law.' "As you please,'"' said the mana ger. "I will expose you in every paper in the States as a gang of swindlers. Ilwill proclaim you insolvent and fraudulent, and smash you up." "As you please," was still the re ply of the deliberate doetor. Krenheim was fairly out of tem- - per now. The manager moved again.• "No,. Mr. Kronheim ;I tell you we will not pay< you the money insured•_ , on the life of your late brother, Louis Horn:; I tell you we will not pay it,- and I will not tell you why we re fuse." '"Why,—you I" cried out Kron beim, savagely, “do you think I mur dered him ?" "We iiow. you nro I" thunderect , the manager,. starting to his feet, and bringing hishand.down upon the desk with a heavy stroke that shook the: room they tat in. - Kronbeim paled at last, rose eloW: -- ly from his seat, and left the room without:a: word. , As the door closed behind him, Dr. Sharpe_ sat down, wiped his forehead„. , and. with a great sigh of relief spoke out, quite loud, "The infernal villian I The mur- - derons"-raffian I Saves the office' twenty thousand dollars, though." All was silent along the" river that` night and very still in the city. No wind blowing ; the moon bright, the stars shining very clear ; not a sound" breaking the stillness of the sleeping city. It was New Year's Eve, and Ale people were passing in Bleep and in silence, over the margin that lay between - the old year unit the n'ew, when all at once there was a great stir, and then the fire bell rang out loudly' In rapid and irre g ular clang or, the pealing bell broke up the still ness of the night. Then there was a hurried patter of pressing feet on the pavement. Lights got up in the win dows, people• poured into the streets: A great crimson glow was in the north, and a crowd soolillOwed that way,— Presently there broke out the clear' note of a silver trumpet, and then came hurryieg c ,on man in a ; bine tunic, with a - . shining_ helmet on his head, before whom the crowd parted into two waves, and stood back to let h rupees. Setae twenty yards behind, with a - great ,clatter and clamor, came on men, in blurt tunics and . helmets, Pulling. at Et gPees4 rope,,Eiod „behind them, rattlieg Os' at, top speed, the steam fire engiee:of the .13rownsville Volunteer Brigade, with her fires lighted, and blazing up with the-rap id draught. "Fire 1 fire 1 fire 1" shouted the crowd, at every turn fresh' numbers joined, whilst obedient to the shrill' summons of the captain's trumpet, out dashed from their houses more members of the Brigade, and laid hold of the rope or clutched: the en gine as she raced along, and shouted.
