RIO TED AT LAST.
Ale was gone then I There was no
hope. His little cap, and shoes, and
jacket, found on,the bank where he
had laid' them whei he went id to
bathe—silly child 1--;-had not been,
enough to convince the mother that
'her missing boy was lost to her. Yet
it was close to where the river fell'
into the sea, and where the tide, was,
'strong—how then could she hope?
But this latter news, the finding of
this half-decayed body of a little boy,
- which the finder had been obliged to
biiry at once—this was too plain to
be denied. She must give him up.
Mrs. Beaufort closed her doors. and
sat down in her beautiful mansion to
utotate. Her servants came and•went
about her, but she would see no one
else... Her . own kindred were too far
away, across the ocean in the New
World, to come - to her; and she bad
known these of her husbatid's,people
only during. the year that he bad
been master of Beaufort, Manor., He
had been separated from' his friends,
a houseless wanderer,,atid they bad
cared' nothing for him, till old 'Mr.
Beaufort, :the bachelor loid of the
manor, dying, bad, to their•aitonish
went and indignation, left tkelreat
fortune whiel•-they had confidently
expected would be divided between
two families nearest Of titi; to scape
grace, wandering Berard Beaufort.
It 'was 'for this, Om, that they had
flattered and petted the eccentric,
cross old Mai! It was for this they,
had lied to him over and over, and
vowed that they expected nothing
frim him, and wanted nothing, and
came 'to see . only him, and not the.
manor. They had borne his sardonic
grins, when he listened to their false
hoods, only that Bernard Beaufort,
whom they hardl3 acknowledged for
a relation, and his American wife,
whom they had never acknowledged
at all; and their boy, should inherit
Beaufort Manor and all the old man's:
property, except ,the LlOO apiece
which he had mockingly bequeathed
his two cousins and their twelve
children. all told. -
It was unbearable! And all be
cause Bernard had had the art to
name his boy Philip, after the old
man. Had not each of his cousins' a
Philip—her eldest? But he saki that
.;Bernard had given hitn.to , notipe:Or
the naming, as they had ; flaked '
no christening llresen4 - and that the'
old man bad heard the child's name
only by accident. Therefore, it must
have i been uamedlrn ro some recollec
tion.!
When the new heir and his wife
came home, the relations—pocketed
their wrath so far as to visit therm
It was not worth while to shut them-
selves out of the place because it was,
not to be thebs.
Mrs. Beaufort astonished her new
relatives. They expected to find a
common person; they found a lady
more highlWbred than themselves.
An elegant form, habited with ex
guisite taste ; a classical face, purely
pale ;._rich, dark hair ; bright, 'dark
eyes;:and admiringly self-possessed
- -such was the lady whom they went
to criticise and patronize.
Scarcely had the bereaved mother'
mourned for her son a month, when
a' lawyer's missive reached her ; and
she woke to the fact that it was not
only her son who was lost, but the
heir of Beaufort Manor. The, rela
tives and heirs had allowed her to
stay so long out of regard to her
feelings; and because they would
rather she had proposedk to go, and
they were sorry sbe.had obliged them
to remind' er that, by the late Philip
Beanfort's will, the property was to
go to the son of Bernard, and, in case
he died childless, to, be divided bet
tween two cousins, the elder having
the manor for life . the eldest son of
the younger to inherit it at his death.
• The childless widow rose up and
went Out of the sorrowful-home that
bad been hers but a year and-a half.
No sympathy nor kindness were of=
fereci per now. They paid her the
moderate provision that bad been
assured her, and . said "good-bye,"
with no invitation to remain or visit .
them: She was no longer necessary
to them, and , they could resent her
past coldness.
Even when her husband
-died, six
months ''after -their muting to the
property, she did not much seek their
companionship, though they redot..-
bled•- their attention, as their hopes
increased. .
Bernard bad been an 'affectionate,`
but dissipated husband; and if his
ME
MIIME
wife grieved for hTm, it was not se
one without hope. Little Philip, her
idol, now 2 years old, was left her.
She•turned to him with all her heart.
And now he was. gone!- Three
years old and so venturesome! pow
bad he eluded servants and mother,
and - playmates? Had he done so, in
spite of, every care ? • The river run
ning paSt their park had . enticed him,
and he was gone. Every effort had
been made, search, advertisements,,
rewards'offered, but in vain; and the
finding of that little body with the
golden hair in curls about
had
face
had satisfied her. A curl had been
given the mother; and putting it
side by side with one site had cut
from IPhilip's head only a month be
fore, they could not be told apart.
Mrs. Beaufort did not , return to
America, as they, had expected. She
took a cottage near and livekin it.
he could could not leave the neighborhood
where her darling's body , lay; and
where his innocent soul had taken
wing. Shut up in this secluded house
which to her was not a home, she
abandoned herself to grief. But after
a year bad passed, she was obliged
to • rouse. herself. Her . health was
failing.. and the good •vicar, one of
her faithful friends, could no longer
refrain from reproof. •
Mrs. Beaufort was not selfish, and
she. was not irreligious. At the_call
she Mid her f -head, looked - about the
world outsidi i her retreat, and saw
work enough to do. At that sight
her energy awoke, and she laid aside
her lamentations. But no one could
see . her 'white, sad face, without b.:-
ing convinced that life held no charm
for her.
And so folk years passed. The
Beauforts of the manor had taken no
notice other.; but some of the coup-
.try families visited her, and she had
many friends.. Her means were small,
but all the poor blessed .her; for bey
kind words and helping hand were ,
better than. gold. - , •
No one saw the lonely night when
she wept and kisied those locks of ,
gulden hair, and gazed at, the minis
tura of her oy's face.
Oqe day the .widow bad been out
op a errand Of mercy, and was
Strolling slOwly homeward in the
soft, rich light of a June sunset. The
blossoming hedges were full of sing
ing birds, the trees bent over, the air
was silent and laden with sweet odors.
- Ati she walked slowly along the
road; a strange gladness stirred - in
.her heart; for something pleasant
had happened that morning. She had
met the vicar that afternoon in her
visiting—not the first time 'by any
Meant"; for Mr. yernon was kind to
tip poor ' and was also a kind friend
to this bereaved ladyf But some-,
thing .pew had showniltself in his
manner;-or, if not newpt was shown
in a decided manner tliat seemed new.
The Rev. Mr. Vernon had married
early in- life, and bls wife bad lived '
,
but a few -years. His best 'friends 1 1
said that the less said abOut the lat
ter the better.. Tice;gentleman had .
bed% ; drawn - into - the marriage - t at an
age when he should,
; have been at his
studies / and it - was aliappy thing for
him that the companionshiplad been
brief. He • had . not cared to repeat
the experiment. -With a large circle' ,
of admiring friends; and quiet, well
kept house; he said to himself that it
would be foolish to change. " And he
hail not wished 'to change till now.
His sympathy had been aroused by
the sorrows of the lovely Mrs. Beau
fort, and his tenderness oy the beauty
of her character. But not till within
a few weeks bad he known how deep
that tenderness and sympathy were,
nor. how sweet it would be to have
that fair face and forth to adorn his
home,.and be ever in his sight. '
To-day, for the first time, the truth
had broken out. It was but a ward.
Seeing her look paler than usual; the
young.clergyman hail asked iinpul
sively, "Are you ill, Alice?"
It was the,first tithe he bad Called
her-by that name, and the color flash
ed over his fr;ce l as soon as the word
had passed his lips. But his bright
eyes - dwelt on her face mi he saw the
answering blush, the sweet, sudden,
smile, the quick up look into his eyes,
thpn the drooping glance.
14 No, not ili," she , stammered ; "I
am very well."
Others came' near, and both inter
riipted and relieved them. Enough
bad been said for that time. But
when they parted Mr. Vernon :took
her hand in gentle clasp, and 'asked
permission to come to see her soon,
and thsnked her earnestly when per=
mission was accorded. .
That was all, but it was enough to
change all the world for this tender,
lonely heart. - -
" How good he is to think of me,
who have nothing, when so "many
younger and richer ladies would-,
gladly have had his preference!"
":There .is a little boy waiting to
see you, ma'am," the . servant said,
when she entered the cottage. "He
has a letter. for you.„"
"Who is he ?" Mrs. Beaufort asked
" He is a stranger, ma'am, and a.,
pretty lad. I think he is a sailor
like, but ugentleman's son." .
" - You can send him to me," • Mrs.
Beaufort said.
She entered the parlor, and in a
few moments the messenger stood
*fore her. She merely glanced at
him scarcely moving, as he gave her
the.note, and stood, cap in hand, be
fore her while she read.
It was written coarsely , by an
ig
norant person, and the name signei
was that of #1 - man-servant who had
lived at the manor - when she had
been ousted; a retainer of- her hus
band's relatives. It'was dated Cal
cutta, and marked "Important"

" A A strange enough note, prestiming
and inexplicable. She dropped it,
and looked at the messenger, a
straight, well formed boy, with slen

were not wanting, .and ,they were
convincing. The Beauforts would
own to nothing—they only gave up
and went out of the usurped inheri

charged. the proprietor of the manor
with having • withheld from Mrs.
Beaufort the advertisemplat which
described -the child thatAiad been

" We did. not -believe that it was

Many of Robert. Burps' couplets,
and even single lines, have become
proverbs :
'The rank is but the'gulnes's stomp,
The tuan's the mini for a' that."
Here from " Tam .o'Shanter " is
a•
nother:
"Pleasures arc like poppies spread,
You seize the flower ; its bloom Is sbed."
From his "Address to the taco

"WWl' done we partly may compute s
But know not What's resisted:"
In one stanza on Captain Grose we
meet two'proverbs pow in user

"If there's a tole . in a. your coats

•And faith hell prent It." . •
In "The Vision " is also a splendid
passage of this sort :
"Misled by fancy's meteor ray, • \..
By passions driven ;
But yet the light that led astray
Was the light from heaven.",
Aleiander Pope pithily wrote:
"True wit is nature to advantage dressed—
That oft was thought, but ne'er so well expressed.'

of Presideit
'Abram airilild - and Mat Balton,
both'emignote from the State of New
York; were married ;in 1821. - They
had, gone in 1880 to Orange, Cuyaho
ga county, Ohio, where a year later
their son j'ames was born, being their
fourth child. Their, log house was
built , when the heavy-forest was but
partly cleared away. The fences
were .not yet made about the-fields
when the father, in fighting a forest
fire that threatened the destruction
of their twine, overheate d himself,
was suddenly chilled, tour in a . few'
days died. 'His last words to his
wife, as he 'Oohed upon his' children,
were : "I have planted four saplings
here in this forest. I most now leave
them to your care."
A happier family never dwelt inn
palace than had been in that cabin
home. iLittle James was but . eigh•
teen months old when his father died
—too young to understand his irre
parable loss or feel the pangs of grief
than well nigh , crushed other hearts.
The neighbars.came--Or four or five
families 'in' a radius of ten Tulles
and, wept with,the widow and father
less. With their assistance .the life;
less fork was inclosed' in a rough
coffin, and buried 'in a corner of the
wheat field near by„ No sermon, no
prayer, except the silent prayers that
went up from aching hearts Winter

perienpe ,be more dreary than I,wo
man left' a widow alone . with her
children in ; a wilderness Wept by
wintry storms. Tbo ho *l of the
wolves and the cry of panthers never
sounded so terrible as during those
long . desolate winter nights. It
seemed to the we.ary,ones that spring
would I never come again. But. at
last it did come, and swept-away the
snow and ice. The dead things of
the field and forest returned to life,
save only the dead in the corner of
the wheat fit;l4, and hope was net
revived in. the cabin. There was no
money; in the_ house, there was a debt
on the:farm / and the food_supply was
limitedr
Tberi Mrs. Garfield sought the ad
vice of a neighbor, who had been
kind in her time of trouble. He ad
vised . her to sell the farm, pay the
debt, and return to her friends, be
lieving it impossible for-her to sup
port herself and children there. Htr
reply Was characteristic
"I can , never throw myself and
children upon the charity of friends.
So_ long as haVe health I believe
my Heavenly Father. Will bless these
two hands and inane theth - able to ,
support my children: My dear bus
band ;made this home at the sacrifice
of his life, and every log in this cabin
'le sacred to me now. It seems to me
a holy trust that I mast preserve as
faithfully as I would guard his grave."
Her .neighbors left
_her, and *she
went to the Friend that never fails,
and asked God to make the way of
duty clear to- her; and when she
came from hers place of _ prayer - she
• felt that new light and strength had
i heen given her. ;She called heroldest
son, Thomas. to her, and, though he
was :only a child 10 years old, she
laid the whole case before him. With
the resolute courage of his raeei. he
gladly promised that he would plow
and , sow, cut wood, and milk the
cows, •if she Would only. keep the
farm. She sold part of -the firm, and
paid every dollar of debt.. Thomas
procured a horse, plowed, and sowed,
and. planted. The mother with her
own hands- split the rails said com
pleted the fencing. But -the harvest
was still far away, and the corn was
running low. ;The mother carefully
' measured ber precious grain, counted
the days to .the reaping time, and
finding I t would be exhauste d„ long
before that time at their present rate
of consumption, - she resolved to live
on two meals a day herself thither
children might not suffer. Then, as
the little, store rapidly disappeared,
She ate but a single meal herself, -un
til the blessed harvest brought relief.
That, year it was very abundant, and
~
the wolf of hunger never came so
near their door again:
Still there were many days of hard
ship and self-denial, in which the
brave woman' had to be father and
Mother, teacher and fireacher to her
children. She was the wise and ten
der friend, guiding them in the right
Way, and inspiring them "to choose
the best things in life. She still lives
to see her great' reward, "and 'her
children rise up and call her blessed."
The Nation's Capitol, honored •as
it has been by noblewomen, has never
received within its door" a grander,
more heroic, and nobler woman than ,
it has in the person of the mother of
President Garfield;. and she is not
oaly an object of the Nation's admi
ratios, bat' the recipient of its ho r
age.

American Indian&--Among some
tribes the pieces of stickii givel- the
witnesses of the marriage arwbrnhen
as a sign of divorce. Usually new
connections are formed without the
old ones being dissolved. A man
never divorces his, wife if she has
borne him sops,
Tartars.,The husband may put
away his partner and seek another
when it pleases him; and , the wife
may do the same. If she be ill treat
ed, she complains to the Magistrate,
who, attended by the principal Peo
ple, accompanies her to the house
and pronounces a formal divore.
Chinese.—Divorces are allowed in
all cases of criminality, mutual dis
like, jealousy, incompatibility of tem
per, or too much loquacity on the
part . of the wife. The husband can
not sell his wife until she leaves him,
and becomes a slaves to him by ac
tion of the law for desertion. A son
is bound to divorce his wife if
she displeases his parents.
Circassians.—Two yids of divorce
are granted in Circassia,---ime total,
the other provisional. When the
first is allowed the parties can imme
diately marry again ; when the sec
ond exists the couple agree to sepa
rate for a year, and if at the expira
tion of that time, the husband does
not send for his wife, her relations
may command of him a total divorce.
Grecians.—A settlement was usu•
ally given to a wife at marriage for
support in case of a divorce. The
wife's portion was then restored, to
her, and the husband requited to pay
monthly interest' for its use during
the time he detained it from . her.
Usually the men could put their
wives away on slight occasions.
Evenithe fearlof having too large a
family sufficed. Divorces scarcely
ever occur in Modern Greece.
r
Li:.'v s.Yi:~~ 2':
Hindoos. Either party, for a
slight cause may leave the other and
marry. When both desire it there is
not the least trouble. If a man calls
his wife "mothei,v it, is. consideked
indelicate to live with het again.
Among one tribe, the "Gores," if
the wife be unfaithful, the husband ,
cannot obtain a divorce unless he
gives her all the property and --'chil
dren. A woman, on the contrary,
may leave when the pleases, -,and
marry another man,' and convey to
him the entire: roperty of her former
husband. _4 •
Bomans.—ln olden times a man
might divorce his Wife if she were
unfaithful, if she counterfeited his
private keys, or drank wituout his
knowledge. They could divorce their
wive when they pleased. Notwith
standing this, 521 years elapsed with
out one divorce. After Wards a law
was, passed allowing either sex to
make the application. Divorces then
became frequent on the slightest pre
texts: Seneca says that same women
no longer reckoned the year by the
consuls, but by the number of their
husbands. St: Jerome speaks of a
man' whO had buried twenty wives,
and a woman who hall buried twen
ty-two husbands. -The Emperor Au
gustus endeavored to restrain the li
cense by penalties.

)Ira. Robeit L. Stuart is at the
head of the cooking school. -- What - a
noble example this, Woman., gives the
public! Her lin:Stand is.worth $l,-,
000,000, but this &es not'relieve her
of the claims of duty. She takes an
interest in social advance, and_there
fore lends her influence to the im
,provement of the culinary art. 'The ,
Suarts have always been a useful fami
ly, and though limited to two genera.
tions, they-have done enough to im
mortalize the name. The father came
from Edingburg a bankrupt in purse,
fleeing from his crreditors, but rich
in purpose and courage. He opened
a cent candy shop and worked fifteen
hours - a day, until the creditors werp
paid in full. The amount was .0,500,
equal to $7,500, but money then wah
worth double its present value. The
sons - inheirted the business, - - , which
they made immensely profitable, and
they .shared their profits liberally
with objects of benevolence: They
have been. among the leading philan
thropists of the day, and their bene
factions in the aggregate are prob
ably' more than a million. Mrs.
Stuart now gives what is , really of
more value than money, when she
takes the presidency of a cooking
school. This feature la education
has been sadly neglected, and it is
time a reformation took place.—New

HOW TO AIR A. R0031.-;-11. is Llw
general practice to open, only the
lower part of the windows of a room
n ventilating it., whereas, if the up
per part were also opened, the object -
would be more Speedily effected. The
air in an apartment is usually hea
to a higher temperature than.the out
er sir, and it is thus rendered lighter;
and as the outer air rushes in, the
warmer and lighter air is forced up
ward, and finding no outlet, remains
in the'room. If a candle be held - in
`the doorway near the door, it will be
found that the -flaitte blown
inward ; but if raised nearly to-the
top of the dciorway, it will go out
ward ; the warm sir towing out at ,
the top, while the cold sir flows in at
the bottom.. A current of warm air
from the room is generally rushing
tip the flue of the chimney, if the flue
be open, even though there should be
no fire in the stove; - therefore 'open
' fire-places are the beat ventilators we
can home for a chamber, with.an open-
ing arranged in the chimney from
the ceiling.
