The eyes of the sick man watched her as, she slowly paced the room, her velvet dress trailing the carpet, a look-in her face that he - could not read. • It was astrange'sigh't—the woman in her gala attire, brilliant with beauty; glittering with gems; the man with his• pinched and sunken face, on which .death's dray shadow seemed already set, watching her.

A : strange whiteness crossed Vir ginia Aubrey's beautiful face. "I should hope not, dear. What object could tbey have?" The sick man was silent., Fifteen minutes passed. Suddenly Mr. Aubrey spokesagain— " Virgihia, why doesn't Rufus come ?' will see," said his wife, calmly, and rang the bell. , • It was James who answered it. Where' - is Auras ?" she asked him. "I dunno. It's' like he forgot. I told him." ' " GO at once and tell him ikain." James departed, and 'returned in about ten,ininutes.

THE IfTI3TERIOUN BENEFACTOR: The Rochester Demociat and Chronick'says :—Lewis BroOks was; one of the most remarkable men this city ever contained, timan who had amassed an immense property and had even secretly nearly $200,000 to worthy and 'needy objects. Not long ago it was announced that a lib. eral gentleman of Rochestlrhad be stowed $120,000 upon the University of Virginia, at Monticello, and, had erected new buildings, endoWed ,the University with a large fund, and provided it with a. museum selected by Prof. Ward in a European tour. That liberal gentleman was Lewis Brooks. It will also be remembered that $lO,OOO was given last year t., the Rochester City Hospital.. The' doncir was Lewis 13rooki. St. Ma ry's Hospital also received $lO,OOO Tronya friend, whose name was not' made public. The donor was Lewis Brooks. The Industrial School and 'the Rochester Female Charitable So ciety were each presented_with•ss,ooo in a similar manner. The donor was Lewis Brooks, who died last evening at the age of 84 years.. Lewis Brooks was a peculiar man, and one of his peculiarities was Lis unwillingnesslo,say anything about himself.. He was exceedingly modest and retiring in his disposition, and rarely confided anything .to any one. lie had no family and no relatives in this city, and hence very little re garding his -life can -be 'given. He came to. Rochester in 1822, when he was, it is though, about twenty-nine years of.age. He was fire engaged here in the manufacture of woolen cloth, and Afterwards entered the mercantile business in a store. About forty years ago, however, he retired from business, and from that time was engarl merely', in investing his money and caring fur the - real estate he owned. Wise, prudent and eco nomical, heamassett, a very large property, and having no children with whom to leave it, he very na 'tunny sought to do good with it, giving a part of it to Charitable and educational purposes. He never mar ried, but lived all his life ,alone, and during the past sixteen years board ed in the Osborn Honse.' The total amounts given by Mr. Brooks..to the University of Vir ginia aggregate about $120,000. He was impelled to this enterprise by 'a desire to commemorate the home of Jefferson, who was a firm fagnily friend, and the new building which was erected was so placed as to, corn: mfinda fine view of Monticello. Large as have been to pub lic instructions, they arc by no means all In private gifts those belong ing to his own blood and to those in whom he lad - no iersontil interest 'save the interest of sympathy, he was Munificient. To the needy and suffeiing his liberality- was open handed and almost unstinted, and no worthy object of assistance was ever - allowed to leave his' presence unaided. A WELIeDRESSED Negmapplied to the judge of probate of Mobile for a marriage licease. -Ile wan aslrd how old his in! tended was, and answered, with great animation : "Just sixteen, nudge—sweet ti s sixteen and de handsomest girl in wn:" The judge said be could net do it % the law forbade him to issue lidense • any one ,under eighteen. ," Well, hold on, Judge," exclaimed the'man. I know dat dem Oda am deceitful and lie about deir age. She is nineteen if a day." "Will you swear to it?" asked the judge. "Yes sail," he replied,. and did. "And how old am you ?" said - the judge. The chap looked suspicious, and replied, cautiously, "Thirty-five," and added : "If dat won't do, nedge, I've got more back." A Toms° man-woke up the other night and Ravi a ghost in his room. ' Seizing his six-shooter,,he approachei- it, and found it was his collar, which happened to be standing on the. l tloor. • • . ~. ~ ' . ~ . , , ~ , , , . r -, • r] ' , •:1 1 \ -.)
