Ertrybodj said Belle Grsy was
heartless.
She was twenty-one joan old, and
beaatiful beyond description. Th
hearts of at Uast a down suitors bad
beed laid ot her feet, and she had
reaorsekasly crushed them a!!.
And now George Wioter was in her
toils. Ha had fallen hopelessly in love
with Bolle Gray as e ery one eould
lee ooquetto and all as sbe was j
and nearly everybody puled bin,
while a few of the flintier oaes said
be was a fool.
For six months be had paid his ad
dresses to the beauty, and bad thus
far been received with marks of fa .or.
Bat had she not enoouraeed others
before) bin is the same way 1
Had sbe not, like the ignut fatut,
led them in pursuit of the treaeher
ous flsne, her heart led them, aa the
tradition says, to destruction, ia the
dismal sloogh. of despair f
Not tbat those dosen hearts bad ex
actly broken, either L nor tbat thoss
dosen lives bad bean quite blighted,
fr they. had all recovered. tb shook,
and after a season of melancholy,
some had aoinally married a thing
whioh, in the first bitterness of disap
pointment, they had solemnly vowed
cover to do.
Bat George Wioter bad faith in
Belle Gray. He loved her, and all
the world eould never have por
susded . him that she designed to
coat him away that she was trifling
with his affections, with the deliber
ate intention ef orasblng bis heart
wba it should be onoe helplessly in
her power.
George bad a pretty eoasia' named
Nellie Winter, and she was like a sis.
tor to him. One summer aveaiag she
ventured to loll him what the talk
wu among the cirole of young ( oiks
with whom they associated namely,
that bs was soon to be added to )he
long list of Belle Grays's victims.
'Oh"saldCreore.H is only the

MYs, yet are, George. No use d e-
nyleg It. Now if she should treat
you as sbe has others 1
George tuned pale.
'If she ohoutd, George. I should
pity yon, indeed. I Jtoew what a
blow it would be to you."
"Nellie, George said, "you eould
sever make me believe that she is
trifling with me,"
"Could anybody f
"No no one living.' '
"Coado't sbe herself ?
"Well, I I suppose I shenld bsve
to believe her ; but she will never
pronoanoe snob words'
w i - . .s - . -
A ry oer. -
George started nervously. .
'Try her George, before you go
too far. Test bet sincerity . without
delay. Every day that parses only
strengthens your attachment for ber.
Then, when the .blow 'comes if it
does come it wit be the harder. If
you are te learn at some time or other
tbat your affeetions have been wasted
the soooer the better.'
George looked very serious.
"You are afraid to," said Nellie.
"But how shall I do it ?"
Nellie pondered moment and
then said.
"I will tell you t Make use of a lit
tle flb. Have an interview with her ;
put on a sad and molauoholy faoe ,
and tell her that you are ruined t'aat
vou have met with reverses and lost
all jour possessions. Then see bow
qulokly she will drop you."
George wu thoroughly startled.
He had oevor before allowed himsolf
for a moment to quostlon Bolle Gray's
good faith, bnt now be felt with a
faint heart, that it might be so, sod
the vory possibility wss torturing to
hiu. Then ho aakud himsolf : Could
it be that this proud beauty' would be
the same to him meet him with the
same suooy smilo sod mutioal voice
if he were poor ? And vet, if sho tru
ly loved biin, why should it change
her?
He revolved the matter in his mind
for a long time vlowod it in evory
light wss confident and despondent
by turns, and finally decided lo put
tbo matter to a test.
All that night the demon of doubt
haunted him, and the more be thoa't
of the past career of Bollo Gray the
stronger grew his missgivings.
How vividly be remembered now
the despairing faoe of the wretched
Ned Lark, when the roputed co
quette had jilten bim ; how ho had
moaned and sighed, dsy and night,
for nearly three weeks how be had
res-retted bis birthday ; how he had
longed for the retirement of the tomb;
bow be bad evoa talked of gettlog
rid of himself by foul meaaa j how he
bad finally, in a spirit of utter desper
ation, gone and married another girl
with whom, br-th-way, he bad
lived happily enough, to all outward
appearanoe. What if it should bo

No, he never would i
Not far off there was a beaatiful lit
tle lake, of a few miles ia extent, on
which the yonng people of the neigh
berhood went rowing ia the summer
and skating ia the winter.
It was summer now, and oa a beao-
tlfol monlight evening, a small
boat elided oat from the woodland
shore, sending forth the ripples oa si
thei side ia rain pursuit of each otb
. .
sr.
George Winter and Belle Gray were
ia the boat They had . takea boat
rides together before, so ' that, to a
easaal observer, this occasion, wu not
an extraordinary one.
George had determined to play his
part, and bad nerved ; himsolf for
a very fine piece ot noting. Among
ether things, he uast appear aa aad
as possible, ia view of his allegod
baokruptoy. Bat be found very little
diflloulty ia appearing aad and unea
sy, tie wu so ia reality, lor no was
so impressed with the Importance of
the issue ; raid he trembled u he
thought that, before that little boat
should retura to her taoorings, hope
might hare dopartad front bis heart
forever.
Bells Gray wu ia a pleasant aad
joyous mood, but sbe eould not help
observing the pensive bsarieg of her
companion. She asked him what was
the matter. He replied i
Oh, nothing aad piled his oars lo

When they ere out oa the bosom
ofjthe lake, be rested, sad atUreda

'Won't you eoeflde is trie-1" she
asked.
- "Yes, Belle,' be replied, while bis
voice trembled with real emotion. "It
it perhaps to you I should first com-
ssunloate my misfortune."
"Misfortune 1" she echoed.
"Yes. Not tbat I care so auoh for
the misfortune, but the consequence
it mist entail the loss of you."
The moon wu shining oe her beaati
ful face, and George, eould not fail
to see that it turned very pale.
"Belle," continued Goorgo, with
great emotion, "I have Just receive!
sad news from the eity. I have beeo
possessed of a considerable aoaooot of
wealth, left mo by my father, and for
some time I1 have left it all in the
bands of a legal friond of mine la the
city. He has beea unfortunate in ia
vesting it bu lost it all, failed him

"But, George, you "
She wu very p!o, aad hor voice

"Of course," Georgo continued, "I
could not think ol draggiog yoa down
to poverty with me. I bad hoped,
as things were, that there would be
no obstacle to our happiness; that we
might go through life ao joyfully to
gether, never to be separated oa this
side of the grave ; but now"
Hore George broke down.
"And are yoa roally as poor as you
say ?' she asked ia a strango voioo.
Yes yes ; I eould not be poorer.
"Bnt may jour fortune not be la
ved yet, or some portion of it ?"
"There is not tho slightest hope,"
be replied, gloomily.
"And you naturally think," ihe
went on, with a atsnge calmness,
"that under the Circumstances it
would be best for us to fogdt old
pledges, and pursue our ways sepa
rately f"
"Yes for jour uke," be replied;
then mentally added i "Ob, Heaven,
It is true ! Sbe is ready to givoru
pi"
"And you are not worth a dollar V
she again uked, with a siogulur tone
and manner.
"Not a dollsr I"
Her plump arms were around hi s
neck in a moment, aad she aotually
kissed him. Not merely once, but
five or six times, and then a number
of times after that, whioh could not
conveniently hav e been oouoted.
"Georgo Winter," she whispered,
could you think me so lost to princi
ple ss to be ready to ronouooe you ia
in jour advoraity f You do not know
what a true woman's heart is. I would
not psrt with you for the world now!
I am heartily glad that you are poor.
I have enough for both, and all that
is mine'shall be yours forever more 1
I have read your heart correotly this
night, and I know you arenoitber
an unprinoipled adventnror nor a
shallow fop, such as I have spurned
in times past I have beea termed
aa unfeeling coquette, but God knows
that I never yet brought pain to one
whom I believed to be honest and
upright ia heart. If you love me
and I knew you have not lightly told
me so never think of your lost for
tune again."
And two months later Belle Gray,
the coquette, married the maa whom
she still believed to be penniless, aad
not long af forward he eonfessed his
innocent stratseem taking ear to

was witnessed by a releol few lo this
city on yesterday morsiog. Every,
thing about the affair was oa the most
stupendous seals, a the subject bira.
self i the largsst bit of flsh aod
bones now lo this country. Of course
this means the elephant Romeo,
now performing io this city.
Komco is getting old ; bis flesh is
slow to heal j and a lack of knowl
edge how to treat elephant soros,
coupled with maoy mUpplid reme
dies, soon placed the old hero io"n
ssd pllht. The wouods festered,
mnamation iooreasod, bad became
worse, until now hi legs resemble the
catacombs of Rome, bolog more re
ceptacles of eorruption. When the
mensgerie reached the city, it be
ea mo painfully oridont Romeo could
not go soy farther soIcm some rolief
wu afforded, and as Chicago is fa.
taous for tbs quality just oow, it was
determined to take advaotage ot the
respite afforded from travel during a
nearly two woeks' stsy, and place the
great Sulk on the stock.
Afte.' a full hour spent in slashing,
gouging and ecraping, during which
the poor beust was rid of fifteen or
twenty pounds of putrified flesh, aod
a pound or two of bone, the sergeoos
eoneluded that sufficient for a day,
might be tho evil thereof, and denis-'
ted from that part of the operation, to'
enter upon soother ten-fold more
painful snd harrowing.
While the.e exoavations had beeo
progression, men were busy at the
furosoo heating huge soldering irous,
soveral inches in diameter, to a white
heat. Tbes were now brought into
requisition toromove the proud flenh.
When Dr. Withers spproached the
animal with the first glowing iron a
shiver ran through bis framo. and
bo was dispoeod to resent any furthor
aggression, but boing convinced by
the pointed argumont of his keeper
that it wu all for bis good, ho Jssuod
another low tbnnder, which was ech-'
ood from every cage, and straighten.
ed bis trunk, and braced himself for
furthor martyrdom.
The red hot iron was now run into
tunnol No. 1 the length of about a
foot, and a hissing sound, follow ed

Aa Eagle Watching law an

The family of Jacob Decker resides
nesr uppr 11 hod a lake, about two
miles wet from Copak village, Co
lumbia county, New York, fo the
family is an interesting daughter a-
bout three yesrs of sge. Last Sun
day afternoon she stood prattliog ia
the door yard, when the uousnsl
merriment attracted the attention of
he mother. The latter proeeediop to
the door, waa almost paralysed with
far at discovering an eoormous ot,
gle sailiog around the child in grace
tul eddies, each ctrouit bringing it
nearer to its victim. Quickly com
prehending tbe situation, she rnshod
from the door and clasped the child la
ber arms. While conveying It to the
house the eagle holly cootes'ed tbe
wrlgbt of rjOHsesgion, and twice ao.
proaohed near eooiiith to the child tot
touch tbo hair with its beak. But
.Mrs, Decker, being a woman of mus
cular atrongth and great preaenos of
mind, doionded tbo obild, aod suc
ceeded in conveying it to the bousa
uninjured. Tho eagle, apparently un
willing to relinquish its prey, hover
ed around tho bouse, and the mother
fearing that it woui I break tbrouch
the windows, hid dur child io a closet
until tho bird did tpbf ared at olnhtfuU.
Tbe next morning the winged moo.
ater made its appearance, hovering
oloacly around the bouo for some
lime, and then perched Itself upon an
adjacent troo. Tho mother becoming
alurmed, notified tbe neighbor of tbo
fearf, and before tbe bird wu aware
of bis approach an amateur marks
man sent a bullet through his bead,
aod tbe gatno dropped to tbe ground,
It proved a splendid ipeoimon of
tbe American bald eagle, measuring
six feet aix inches from tip to tip.
