In its stateliness it rose,
With its'carred and curious gables,
And its marble porticoes;
But she did not see the grandeur,

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. It 'hakes a
woman love any one solumob more, tu
inst a. little sorry for him. Annear:a,
childish lore it was, but even then it was
love All the lame that. I felt fur, Walter
Welch.
It dori not teeth mu t! to tell a ft er all.
We, grew older both.° us., 'They said I
was a beauty. and I was grandfather's
heiress. Two or three o.me courting me
tifore I 'was eigliteen,,before that
me,Qld Welelafiad brought a new dis
grace upon. his sou by mixing himself up
with slobbery. I saw, the radial old Man
taken byle jail, and I Cried' a little' for
Walter's_ lake. .- He -did not. forsake his
father even then, but versa la , visit him,
And did all he could for him. c.as as
poll as denth &mid be, When I ea* hint
again ;Int be soi,cfno word about it, and
of course =I did. not. Bet- I. wanted, 0
bow I vatted to tell him that no one
could' think less of
.him for any Boob mis.
fortune. .
It vas Garret Gray; rho .owned the
woolen mill% who 'mine 'a courting; me
just. then. , They were # good, tuhily, the
(ame, and Line Jading too; Every girl
itt' town envied me, I do bolieve, when he
walked beiide mei-or danced with•,me uk
the Assembly balls. = He made) Ao.. secret
of liking me; he was of, unuiCut null out;
and wondered that I did - not like"birn
better; but you,:see, Wolter was in mY
Mind. • Arid get one Mau in your mind,

.
Iliat •
all thirmbile he sail nothing. He
was tivtfrindlWenty by that time; and he
had come to be a clerk in grandfather's
office, and was regularly studying. law.
We were men.and women, and if he had
liked ine as I „thought' he did once,' be
surely would have !Token, if it were 'only
a word or. two; - He - was very kind and
friendly, but no more; and if, those shep
herdess had had eyes to
_see and tongues
to speak with ', they - would bale derma,
enough to tell of those days. I hatedthe
th'ouhte of being an old maid, as every
girl does; but bow could I marry any bat
the one./ loved ? and he did not ask me.
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.

The New Intoideant.
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. The presumed
enormous demand 'for chloral pas been,

are especially addicted to it, and it is doing
at least as mach harm as our old enemy,

of diessing-cases, and those who begin its
use often grow so .addicted to it that they
pass their lives in a scat of contented sttl
