MONTiItiSE, PA!, : : DECEMBER 21,-1871: 'FiotOtatuouo. p wl4 41 ',III a VD4 till I remember the day when grandfather took "old Welch's boy" into his office, just as well as I remember anything that hap.; penedlesterdity, though at is sixty years ago. Orandfilther. AIWA lawyer—Lowyer Place the folks called hiinand he had got on 'very well indeed; owned a fine piece of land, and a hen= that was the pride of Goastown on. the : hill—the aris tocratic part of 031:isstiown, where all the handsome dwellings were:—and bad I don't know how muoh in bank stock and gold besides. And there were always a couple of boys in the office; and noon bad been sent away for idleness, and grandfather was looking for another. Would it do to try Welch's boy?" said be. "He's looking for a place, and' the schoolmaster speaks , well of him and the. 'minister too; but then, you see ( e is old Weleh'six,y-that's the worst :otit." "No,matter grandpa," said L • ,, Try him, I'go !rarity. I. .know he's good. Do try.hun. 'foresee Walter Welch and I were not quite strangers..' He lived in the low part of the town, low in every sense--full bf the people from the factory, and lying among the manthes, out of which agues come up and shook the poor folks who lived in thefdamp little houses. And his father was tipsy old Welch, who bad kill ed his wife with cruelty, and was killing himself with rum. And Walter was shabby and poor enough, Hearen•knows; but !wiled a gentlemanly way with him for all, and a good face and sweet voice; and be, bad saved my pet poodle horn some boys who were going to kill it, end he climbed down the precipice where there was junta foothold between hint and death, to get me a flower I had said in his hear ing I wanted. And at Sunday-school be , was the brightest and best boy of them all. And it seemed so hard that the sins of his drunken father should descend up oninnocent Walter. And so I plead with grandfather, and, because he bad de cided to do so perhaps--for why should be listen to a girl of fifteen ?—told me, at last, that he would hire the lad, I can, see him as he looked when he came into the office—a tall, slender boy with fair hair and a bright flush of color in his cheek ; as pretty n boy of seventeen as one could meet anywhere. though hie clothes were so worn and dingy. I can see him sitting at the tall desk writing, an hour aftir, as though be hull been , there forever, and grandfather and old Mr. Ames nodding to each other as who should say, de. , I can see myself too, with my hair all I 411 puffs, and my white muslin frock and, kid slippers, witting before the fire in our , parlor a ft erward, working at a frnit-piece ' in floss silks on white satin. It was the oddest room you ever raw, • • !--Ninnurratriet-iaticrernswerew ti'gyoyi deal, and bad tilled tho house with curiosi ties. There were pictures and statuettes; and rare china and Chinese idols, and drinking vessels from Turkey and long Turkish, pipes, and bits of iudian bead work, and is real Persian carpet; and scattered over the ceiling, Cupids and cherubs, and festoons of roses, painted there by a French artist wlito had great talent, they said, though he lived and died without being rich or famous. Bat the pride of the room was the great mantie piece, brought front Italy, all covered with carvings that told some wonderful, my thological story. Ah, what a fool I am! There it stands. It was older thau grand father when he bad brought it in pieces over the ocean, and it will outlast the baby there in its cradle. And as for not knowing the story. it's 'the old one, rm thinking; there'll Cupid, and a shepherd anda shepherdess, and it's the girl that. Cupid is,taking-aim at. Our hearts, are tenderest, is why be wouuds them worse. "Men have died, and worms have eaten them; but not for lover but many a•wo- man has died of love, in good sound earn est I believe. I was too young to think of such things then. But after a while I dropped my work, and mt looking at the carvings, as I often did, and thinking of the pretty faces of .the shepherdess and shepherd, and how.tbrougb the crack at the back of the 81104 my gold thimble had roiled a week ago, and laid there out , of reach among the mortar that held it in its place, though 111 fished for it by hours together. Perhaps Welch's boy would one thy get it out for me, he was so smart and kind. " Well; in a seek or two I asked bim and he tried bat in rain. It was A day when grandfather anti old Mr— Ames were both away and we had a long, long talk. The brightest, bbe was - the best and dearest boy. I wi sed than I had. a brother like bun dozens of times. We were allays solely sneiabla after . that. 'He told me some of. MS troubles:Mai felt sorry for him front Myheart.

A look now and then modemy heart flut ter, or a sigh. troubled and pleased me, bat a girl Mud Wait for words. I waited in vain. And Garret Gray courting me so warmly, and I thought, as girbi mtnit.be, that torture should not wring my love from me as long. us- . I was not sure it was returned. tried to eeem„cold to Walter t 'and, arn notrnind seemingwarm eninigh, to Garret Gray, for IT cared uotbing for him. I'kuew heiwas poor enough, but. I would be rich. And I.knew ho was eld Welch's eon; britithat made no difiZrence, I pined for a kital of a loving word from him, as starving i people long for bread. The one great jot of earth seemed to Me the they¢ of ,being Valter'a wife. I'm so old now. that rdon't mind telling you the truth; then I'd have -died first... One day • we sat together before the fire klasing,orider that great inantel-piece-- grandfather and , his partner, Walter and I. It was uncle's birthday, and we had little feast, and Walter just as well thought of after five years in. the office ap any cir i e there—had been asked to taste the old mine grandfather prided himself on. And -we were talking of what bad happened in • the town, and of how Dolly Rose was married.. "And Japeth courted her tiro ; years," said grandfather. "Afraid to askber the !tendon all the while, and she came near jilting him out of pique; but he's got her after "Served him right italic had jilted him," said L "If a man loves a girl, let him say so out and out, or else let .her not wait for him. "A man may be to bold - sometime, and resume on kindness," said Walter, "and •e huffed for his paths." "He'll know her mind at least," , said he, "and shell know his, It's death to barn to wait. I Should think so, at least." blushed whew' said that, I knew, and Walter blushed too.. I wished I had not spoken. He was silent all the evening •after that; but when be left us he shook hands, and kept my hand in his a little while, and looked ut me in g‘ way that made my heart beat furiously. I laid awake all ; uight, and only fell asleep when the sun was rising.; and it was so late when ,t arose, that the maid was dusting the parlor, and—awkward thine—bad gat a feather fan half way n.o.e out of sorts that Want i scolding came natural. " Oh,..it I had not made that speech! I thought. What did Walter think of it? And 1 asked myself. that question more than once; for from that I never saw him again. I did not go to the office, nor he come, to the parlor and on Saturday grandfather came in to tea, and sat down with a face half puzzled and half angry, and said: " There's a piece of news for you, Effie. Walter has gone." "Gone where?' I asked, turning. cold. "Left us," said grandfather,"Effie, there is somethin g queer about t his. Hare you been hurting him ?" " He never gave me a chance' to hurt him, grandta, said I; and the truth would'out t hen, "If he had—l—l could not hose hart him, :grandpa, dear. II never liked me one, bit, though I liked him." And grandpa said: All Effie, it's dangerous leaving young folks much to gether. I-wish things had been different, furl. like Walter. Isio matter. Kiss me, Effie." So I kissed him. We never spoke of Walter, and he never again—never, never! To me it was as if he were dead; but I could not cry for him as if he had been. And after awhile, Garret Gray made me listen to him, and we were married. And oh, the • sin 'and the shame! y I did not love him one bit. I marrieditist so that Walter might not think I pined after him. You couldn't expect lunch happiness from.lsneh a marriage, none; came. It was my fault I suppose, as pinch na bii.

ORLOUAL to Beds.--The British lied ical "Journal" discusses a letter which Baron Liebig lately wrote to, friend in London, in which Be stated, as a matter of interest, the quantity of charcoal that o a certain mannufacturer turns out weekly. i The amount appeared surprisingly great, and the professor edded;att a possible ex planation, "Some say it gets into our beer." He probably did not expect that his familiar friend would publish this morsel of unauthenticated gouip. A nonprofessional journal reads the great German chemist's remarks, and from small beginoinga, the idea has taken shape and has been extensively repeated in the press in a more or less authorities form. Dr. Oscar Liebreich, the &coverer of chlo ral as a medical agent has made a com munication to our Berlin correspondent on this subject. Be states thht there is no ground whatever to suppose that the drag is employed to adulterate beer, and that the public may be at once disabused of this notion. The strong bad taste pf the dreg fortunately disqualifies it for this nefarious use, and itssoporific effects upon the constitution are each as to. make ,it totally unadapted to counterfeit the qutd ities of the genuine beer.
