" I leave all my fortune ,to my
adopted son, Bernard Cooper," he
said. :"Pat it bit° legal shape for
me, but all for him." 1
,-
"Stop, sir !" Bfniard said,' as the
lawyer was gathering up his Papers ;
" surely, sir, youleannot mean to for

" What is thegirl to me?" 'said the
old man. " I have never oven seen .
her." 1.
" She is Fann ie's child," Bernard
persisted; very ale bat quite reso
late—"yotir heir ss in the eyes of the

There was a- long' silence in the
,
room: Tho old gentleman had keenly
felt for many years the slight of bis
son-in-law, who had never taken his
child to see her h ad
father, and
all his love was given to Bernard.
Yet it was Fannie's child he was die-
MI
inheriting, and after lying in deep
thought he said:
" Leave us for awhile, Bernard. I
promise you not to forget Mattis. I
will leave her half my money. Will
that satisfy you - ?"
Only a pressure of Bernard's hand
answered him as the young man lef t
the room.
But after the funeral, when the will
was opened, the legacies were folio*.
ed by the express desire on the part
of i Mr. Creighton that the severed
fortune should be zp-united by the
mamage of his adopted son and his
grandchild. It was not made a con
diffon of the will; merely a strongly
worded request.
"If she is like my Fannie, Ber
nard must love her," the fond fattier
thetight, "and I could wish no better
fortune to any woman than to win
Bernard's love."
infra.
So when Mattie bowed in grave
courtesy in answer 'to Bernard's
words of greeting, each knew that
the j other was considering the fides
tion of a possible future marriage.
Bat while Mattie felt only indignant
rebSilion at the idea of being so dis
posed of, Bernard's heart was full of
tenderness. He remembered the ,
beautiful girl who had comforted his
first grief in his orphanhood, and
whO in her brief married happiness
had sent him boxes of birthday and
Christmas gifts, over whose death he
had Shed such bitter tears, and whose
memory was next his own mother's
in his heart. He was sincerely de
sirous of ftilfilling the wishes of his
life-long friend, and though shy in
his manner, there was a tender chiv
alry, about him that touched even
Mattie's wayward heart.
Bit having resolved to dislike him,
to have her own way, in matrimony,
as she had in everything else all her
petted life, Mat tie persistently looked
only at the dark side of the proposed
alliance. Her father had but in
formed her of her grandfather's de
sire, no command upon her.
at have passed away,
ar had its season of

abellOhe reapers at
" Half the money is yours, at all
events," he said to her,. " and you
will have what I leave, so do as you
please. But, I bear only good of
Bernard CoOper, Mettle; he is a gen
tleman born and bred,high principled,
leariled acid talented, so do not be
hasty. Let, him come hero as he pro
poses, and see if you cannot like thin."
.But, willful Mettle, having roman
tic notions in her pretty little head,
saw 41y that Bernard was shy and
awkward in manner, that his clothes
did not fit him well, that,he had
large feet and hands, and irew up
lily eyes,because he was near-sighted.
When he was gently respectful to
her She tried to think he wanted to
secure her half of the fortune divided
bet Ween them. ,
Then she tried to drive him -away,
in pure perversity, -Because he Iwas
grave and rather sad, she became
lively and gay, flitting from one par
ty to another, seemingly absorbed in
the preparation of finery, 'for one
scene of gayety or another, and chat
ting only of opera, ball or concert.
By Mr. Ellison's request Bernard
became Ifs guest for the winter, and
Mettle neglected him as far as polite
ness allowed, leaving him alone in
the library, while she visited and
seemed absorbed in frivolous pursuits.
At first he had accepted her invite
tions to accompany her, but fintng
there were plenty of moustache an
diea only too willing to be the escort l
of the young heiress, he Soon deOin
ed to mingle in scenes entirely i nn
congenial.
Apparently, it would have been
impossible to find two people more
entirely uncongenial than Bernard
cooper and Mattis Ellison; one
grave, reserved and quiet, a scholar
and close student, the other bright,
liv'ely and gay, a pet of society land
a little of a coquette.
And yet when Mettle had almost
been rude to Bernard, refusing to
sing for him, sarcastic in her inquir
ies, about his favorite books :and
pursuits, she would go to her room,
arid in long reveries, would wonder
if any of her dandy beaux could ever
be y as wise and gentle as Bernard.
Would find herself recalling the ten•
derness' of his large soft eyes, the
winsome smile of his finely cut mouth,
and the low tone of his rich fall voice.
And Bernard,stung by her flippant
rudeness, would yet think wistfully
of( her resemblance to the mother
whose picture,hanging in Mr.Creigh
top's library, had been the object of
his boyish worship for years.. Would
think her voice the sweetest, her face
the fairest in all the world, and won
d4r sadly how a gawky fellow of thirty
could ever think to win this win
'
some fairy of eighteen for a wife.
Spring came, and Bernard waa,
talking pf going home. He had in
vested his share of- Mr. Creighton's
fOrtune, as ho hoped, profitably, and
lib was desirous of returning to Ohio
t 6 rent the home of his childhood,
Meaning to make his own home. in
Philadelphia for the future. Mr. El
neon, who lived at Chestnut Hill,
Within easy distance of the Quaker
City, urged him to sell the house in
Ohio and buy a place of his own.
It was while Bernard was thinking
Of this scheme, wondering if Mattie
would approve of it; tha: there came
ruin and disaster .. - upon his hospita
ble host. Several promising specu
lations, in which Mr. Elision had in
vested not only his own bat Maggie's
fortune, failed utterly, and the man
who had accumulated his fortune in
years of constant struggle, had seen
it swept away in a single night. Self
ish in his misery, forgetting the child
be left to bear poverty and sorrow
alone, Mr. Ellison took.hisuwn life.
It was a blow safficiPnt to crash a
much stronger nature than Mattis
El.ison's. Recovering from one shock,
she was forced to face another. Her
WOOING.
tears were flowing for the loss , of her
indulgent father, when she was told
'of his financial ruin; and while her
',white face was looking piteously at
the lawyer, he was obliged. to add :
the information that her legacy from
'her grandfather, left in her father's
[ tiardianship, was gone also.
But the last blow, instead of utter
ly crnahing her, steadied her. s It
came to her with a keen, wholesome
l ang that she was no longer an heir-

In tlip days" of misery following
Mr. Ellison's death, there had been

took ch:rge of all the many duties

the sorrow-stricken girl as long as

ebb thankfully accepted his care and

THE LEATH OF THE LATE BITEHIOP LEE.
A privato letter printed in a Bps
ton paper, relates the following, cari
ous. circumstance in connection with
the death of the late Bishop Lee, of
Iowa: , _
"We have been very anxious the
last two weeks over , the illness ;of
Bishop Lee, which terminated in his
death, on ' Saturday morning. l'he
whole community are 'saddened by
the event. Some two months ago he
got up' in the night and took - a bath,
and on returning to his room he
made a mistake and stepped off a
long flight of stairs and' landed 'at
the foot with a tremendous crash, as
he was very heavy, weighing over
two hundred pounds. It aroused
the whole family, and Mrs. Lee and
Carrie !prang from their beds, and
lighting each a candle, went to itee
what had happened, and found the
Bishop lying on '
the floor of the en
try. He got rip, however, vithetit
aid, and seemed to haVe received no
injury -except a few slight, bruises,
though his right hand was 'a little
lamed.
" Mr. H. and myself called' on bim
two days after, and while telling us
of the circumstance of the fall, he
mentioned this'coincidence : He had
a letter in his band, which he had
just received from his. son Henry,
living 'at Kansas City. His son
wrote: Are you.well ? for last night
I had a dream which troubles me, I
heard a crash, and, standing up, said
to mY wife : Did you hear that
crash? I dreamed that father had a
faU and was dead.' 1. got up and
looked at my watch, and it was two
o'clock. 'I could 'not , sleep again' t so
vivid was the dretim.' And it made
him anxious to bear from home.
, "The Bishop said he was supersti
tions, but he thought it remarkable
that Henry should have had the
drearn at the very hour of the same
night that the accident occurred.
The difference in the . time.there and
here is just fifteen minutes, and it
wag a quarter past two by his watch,
making it at the same moment. It
was as if he had aCtually heard the
fall. And the fall finally causedthe
Bishop's death. His hand became
intensely painful, and gangrene set
in, which, after two weeks of suffer
ing, terminated his life. We are none
of us Spititualists, as yon know, hat
surely ficffiike this must go far to
make morealize.that'there is a basis

The young wife turned sharp y

Dlrs.Blakeley was in earnest. There

one or both, she could not hold •ip

The first of January found Blal t ely

quaintance of more than one of the
directors of the bank, and questi ns
might be asked, and .interferces dr %VD
'prejudice' to his standing.
In an evil hour, under distress of
mind and strong temptation, the
'young ma n made a false entry which
enabled him to abstract two hundred
dollars fr in the funds of the bank.
i
This w a only the beginning of a
series of ecalcati o ns, which ran thro'
many ye s before the exposure came
which is are to follow such a crime.
It wee easier now to supply the ex
travagant dethands of his wife, whinie
annual wardrobe and jewelry, .for
which she had the passion which is
characteristic of a weak mind almost
reached the full - amount of his Salary.
Bat the end- came at last. One
morning . seven years from the day
of the marriage,Mr. and Mrs. Blake
ley were about eaving for the opera,
when the bell was rung violently.
Mr. Blakely started end turned pale.
" What's the matter r asked hiS
wife, whb saw the singular change in
i
his countenance.
Mr. Blakeley did not answer, bUt
stood listening at the door. Men'p
voices were now heard, and the heavy
tread of feet alcing the passage. There
was a start, a hurried movement- by
Blakeley; then he stood still as rivet
ed to the spot.
" Who are they ? and what is the
meaning 'of this ?" asked Mrs. Blake
ley in abirm. At the same moment
two men entered the room.
"You are arrested," said one of
them, "on charge of defalcation."
Mrs. Blakeley shrieked, but her
husband 'stood still and statue-like,
his face odof an ashen hue. '
"George, George ! This is false,"
said Mrs.! Blakeley, recovering herself.
" You certainly would not stoop low
enough to commit crime !"
"li, is true," he answered in - a low
and despairing voice. Then laying
one of his fingers on the diamond pin
that glittered on her bosom,he added,
Speaking - to her privately:
"You gained that at the Price of
your husband's dishonor! You de
manded it I remonstrated, and said
I could not afford so costly an orna
ment. You repeated yoUr %demand-,
and I, Weak fool that I was, permit
ted they contraction of a debt' that
could only be cancelled by dishonest
means. I thought when I. married
you, that I obtained a wife whose vir
tues might help me upwards toward
Qe i.ven, but you have proved ' a
tempting, fiend, dragging me nearer
and nearer the brink of destruction,
over which' I now fall to hopeless
ruin. ' '
Then ;turning to the officers he said
in a calm voice—
"l am' at your service."
The words of her husband had
stunned' Mrs. Blakeley. She never
saw hin afterwards. That night he
passed tio a higher tribunal than an
earthly. one, and she wasieft in pov
erty and disgrace. • _
The story is one of 'every day life.
George Blakely is the representative
of a club. , Notal,l of - thenorob banks,

of them do support idle, extravagant
wives in costly establishment,--costly

Probably the most frequent way in
which the ears are injured,- is by the
attempt te clean them. It ought to
be understood that the passage of
the ear does not require cleaning by
us. Nature undertakes that sk,.
and in the healthy state fulfills 'it;
perfectly. Her Means for cleansing'
the ear is the was,

will tell him.' It dries up into thin,
fine scales, and these peel ell one by
one from the surface of the passage,
and fall out imperceptibly, leaving
behind them a perfectly clean,
smooth surface.
In health the passage of the ear is
never dirty, but if we attempt to
Glean it we infallibly make it so.
Here—by a strange lack of justice, as
would seem, which, hoWever, has
no doubt a deep justice at the bot
om—tbe best people, and those who
love cleanliness, suffer the most, and
good and careful. nurses do a mis
chief negligent outs avoid.
Washing the ears out with soap
and water is had; it keeps the wax
moist .when it - . ought to become dry
atid.scaly, and increases its' quantity
unduly, and makes it, absorb the dtist
with which the air always abounds.
But the most hurtful thing is intro
ducing the corner of the towel screw
ed up, ati4 twisting it around. This
does more harm to ears than all the
other mistakes together. It drives
down the wax upon the membrane
much more than it gets I 3nt. Let
any one who doubts this make • a
tnbe,like the passage, especially with
the curve winch it possesses; let him
put a thin membrane at' one end,
smear its inner surface with a sub
stance like the ear-wax, and then
try and get it out so by a towel! But
this plan dues • much more mischief
than merely pressing down the wax.
It irritates the passage, and makes it
cast off small flakes of skin, which
dry up and became extremely hard;
and these are also pressed down up
on the membrane.
Ofteti it is no i t only deafness which
ensues, but pai and inflammation,

hard mass prevents 'from, escaping,

AN OLD C: ► en.—A famorte old
eherch of L. don is in danger of
being destroyeq. The Ecclesiastical
Commission ci c sire ,to
.remove'.All
Hallows, Brea street, ,to which on
December 28, 1008, John Millen was
carried from the tavern of the Spread
Eagle to bei baptized. A tablet re
cords the fO.ct. This building, around
which many historical , associations
are gathered, r.as erected in 1365,
destroyed by t e fire of 1660, and
rebuilt by Sit) Christopher Wren.
Fortunately the church register was -
saved from they fire, and the original
record of Milton's, baptism .is still to
be seen. Among the old monuments
the church contains, - is one tn the
memory of a farmer rector, tbe Rev.
Lawrence ,Saunders, Who in 4555
was burned tol death for persisting _
in the reformed faith. The resident
parishioners nnw number ont' fifty;
the average copgregatiOn is nine per
sons,l_and:,a Sermon once preached
every Thursday, for the support of
which a legacy was left ,the
. church
in 1629, was given np some tune ago
because no ;one came to listen i This
last is even' worse than ,Dean Swift's
"dearlyibeloved Roger.""When the
removal is ;effected, the records, mon—

uments, etc., I will be` sent ' I , to the
