If, within month, you will so load Walter Hurling cstrey that lie shall be caught at the wino-cup, and al the gambling table, I will give you ooe thousand dollars." " fiut Mr. Tom Aubrey, you are very sanguine." " Tot a bit more than is amply justifiable, Gid. If you will do as you have said, 1 know I shall win." " But do you take into account the prop osition that Edith Amctbury may love Walter Harling V " Yes." " And do you furthermore reflect that a woman will be very slow to listen to tales of evil against the man wbo possesses her heart V" " I have thought it all over, Gideon. If the lady were alone Concerned, I might doubt the success of my plan ; but lier brother Charles, who is ber guardian since her uncle's death, is one of the tti float and most exciting of tho mortal crew. ICt hiru so much as suspect that Walter Hailing drinks and gambles, and he would see his aistor suffer nuy amount of torment rather than see her marrv that man." " Jiut H lie should suspect vou, Tom r" " lie will not. I have kept mv tracks too well covered. n tuiuks my tortune is still in bank, safe and intnet ;nud he thinks my cuurcli-going lintn strong louuUatioti on religious zeal, ienr not tor me, Li id. 1).) us wo have planned, and 1 will win Edith Amcsbury's hand and her hand ouce mine, I can keep my part of the com pact. Aud, my boy. I will do more than 1 promise." ' r ear not that 1 shall tail." Said Uid eon Smart. "I am not apt to put my hands lo a work trom wuich to turn back unsuc cessful." Gideon Smart was a notorious tram bier and blackleg a sport and an exquisite of tne first water, i do not mean that lie was a dandy ; but when he chose to turn his ambition into rasmomutio ways few could surpass him. Thomas Aubrey was a young man of flvc-and-lweuty, and had been left the pos sessor of au ample fortuue ; but a course of dissipation, and loose living in every way, uaa scattered nts patrimony, ana no was now penuiless. In tho time when his father lived lie had known Jvditli Amesbury, and he fancied tbat she loved him, and since that lime he had kept up the acquaintance. though not to the extent of intimate famili arity. Jiut lately ho had sought to regain tne old ground. r.ditli ana Her brother had been left equal shares in a fortuue of half a million dollars, and if he could gain her hand he could swim again upon the upper wave of fushiou and pastime. One impediment, however, he found in his way and that impediment was a certain Wal ter Harling, whom Edith might possible love. How he proposed lo remove this ob stacle we have seeu. Walter Harling, at the ago of thrce-and twenty, had entirely by his own hard earned resources, graduated al one of our best colleges, and was now, while studying law at his leisure, engaged as sub-editor on the stall' of one of Hie city daily papers. One day a geullemau called upou liar ling in his situctuin, and introduced bim- seli as Gideon Smart, aud at the same time presented an original article tor public liou. It was upon the subjuct of Temper ance, and was ot real merit. "If vou publish it." said the visitor. "let it go as your own. I employ some of my leisure tune in scribiing, but 1 have no ambition lo shine as an author." After that Gideon Smart dronned in evcrv day for a week, bringing with him on each occasion an article lor publication. These articles were crisp and "meaty," aud spark- Hug with wit aud seutimeut. ihey bad been written oridually by a poor httera teur. who was paid ft mere pittance for their eompositiou, and then copied by bmart. At length Smart brought in a spicy article on gambling, which Harliug commeuded highly. "For the purpose of booking myself in these matters," said Smart, "1 have taken tbe trouble to visit a few of the more prom' iqent of these dens of iniquity. Have you ever seen tbe inside oi a gambling hall r" " I never have." answered Walter. " You should do so, by all means, my dear Harhnz. The man who would make a successful editor should make himself ac- auainied with the phases of society. think you would Hod enough to repay you me V" The idea struck Hailing favorably. He had conceived a'fVing for Smart, aud he promised that he would except the otter.' There was nothing to prevent nut going that very eveuiug. "I am sorrv. Edith, but the alternative cannot be avoidtd. I can never const,. AMEEICilN to you uniting your destiny with that of a j man who is a frequenter of the gaming sa loon." Charles Amesbury spoke in aorrow, but firmly. His sister, beautiful as a rose of early summer, and as pure, listened with resolute incredulity. "I cannot believe It," she said , "somo men might deceive me; but not Walter Harling. Deception is not In his heart, and he could not wear it upu his face. I know that he. carries his soul in his looks 1" "And yet, my dear Edith, It is plain that he, has deceived you. Not only has he frequented the gaming houses, but houses of worse repute." How know you this ?" " I have it from Thomas Aubrey." "And would you believe him against AValter Harling f" demauded Edith, with cheeks flushed. " I think Thomas Aubrey is trying to lead a proper life," replied tho brother. "But I have it not upon his authority alone. Others, whom I cannot doubt men whom r-fonve purposely set to watch Mr. Hur- ling's movements have told rue the same story." N. .Edith's eyes nasnea, ana ncr lingers were clutched In the folds of her robe. "Mr. Aubrey has spoken to you of gaining my hand ?" she said, in a bushed tone. "He has hinted at such a thing ; but I have given him no encouragement. Do not think, mv sister, that I make this ac- cuasatiou in- his interest. God knows that your good is my only aim." Edith kissed her brother and said that she believed him : and then she walked to the window, and looked oul iota the dark ness. When she came hack lier lips was compressed, and a new light was upon her laco and m ner eyes. "Charles," Bhe said, "lot tnis matter rest between us for a season. My love luay be bliud, but my reason is not. I will set an agent to watch. Fear not to trust me Mv asent shall oe everyway rename. mean to know of this." " Really I" said Walter Harling, as he took his hat from its peg, " 1 begiu to tire of this. I gain much insight into the un der currents of life in our city, it is true ; but the views are not pleasant. I will leave others to write up the stories of these dens." "But you will go with me this eveuiug ?" said Gideon Smart. " You must see tho insido of the Royal Bengal. It is the most famed gaming hall in the country." " Yes," answered Harling" I will go this evening ; for I own that I have a cu riosity to see the inside of tbat place." And the two set forth. It was early in the evening when they reached tho vesti bule of the Uoyal Bengal, and the seminal at the door passed them in. Close behind them followed a fair-face boy whom the guard stopped ; but the lad presented a card hearing a naiuo which was authority in tbe place, and he was allowed to enter. " My dear Harling, let us have a lass o f wine," said Smart, as they passed near the bar, in the outer hall. "No," auswered Harling. "I do not use wiue." M5ut, just a drop for friendship's sake." " Wine is an evil with which I do not tamper, aud I would cement no friendship in such a treacherous clement. You will excuse me, Mr. Smart." " Gideon Smart bit his lips, for he saw near at hand witnesses there by appoint ment whom he had honed to entertain with the eUlit of Walter Hurling drinking wine at tho bar of tho Royal Bengal. And at the samo time the fair-faced boy, who stood apart in the shadow, but near enough to hear and see, clasped his hands, as though a dreadful emotion, and a bright limpid light was in his wonderful deep azure eyes. r rom tne oar room mo iwo men passeu on into the main saloon a sumptuous pal atial room where gold aud cut glass re flected the light ot a thousand gas jets, and where pictures aud statuary oi ine urst Jiuality abounded. Here aro the appliauces or gambling appliances of every descrip tion. At the far end of the room they found a faro-bank at which no one was playing, though the dealer sat at his post awaiting customers. "Do you understand faro r" asked Smart. "I understand nothing at all of any game of hazard," replied Walter. " This is a curious game. Let me ex plain it to you." waiter was curious, ana as no oue was playing at the table, he drew near and list ened. " You observe these cards Used iu tne face of the table the thirteen ranks of the pack, from ace to king iuclusive. Have you a piece of silver in your pocket ?" waiter iook out a uuu uuuur uuu ex tended it to his compauion ; but Smart said, " No just lay it upon one oi inoso cards," Aud Walter laid it dowtrx At a motion from Smart the dealer be gan to draw cards from the deal box, and lay them down alternatively to the right aud left. "Oueenwme!" said he presently, aud pushing a silver half dollar over (he board. W alter piCKeu up ins uinuey suu put i. in his pocket. " Here," sabi his companion," you have lea this." "What" 4i The half dollar you have won." "Don't insult me, Smart. 1 had no thought of trying my fortuuein that man ner. Give that piece of money back to the man who owns it. You may smile at my simplicity : but a half dollar taken iu thut way would burn through my pocket aud singe my conscience. I'll have none of it." Gideon Smart slipped the money into his owu pocket, aud as the backs of the twain were turned the boy who with the maival ous eyes wore a look upou his face that was seraphic. Shortly after this, while Walter was en caged in examining an exquisite paiuting, Stuart jiviued a mau who had been run tiled up in lilt cloak in auother part of the hall. M Have you soen V" asked Smart. " I have seen thus far," answered Tom Aubrey, letting his cloak partially fall. " Aud you will see no farther," pursued Smart " I am al the end of my rope.

Others saw the same thing." '.' I will." answered Aubrey. And thus speaking he turned quickly away as he saw Harling comiu$, and as ha turned he met the gazo of those wonderful eyes, and saw tha boy's agitated face.

Once more Edith Amesbury was sum moned to her brother's presence. It was evening, and Thomas Aubrey was with liira in tiio drawing room. "Edith," said Charles, " the truth can no loncer be concealed. 1 have fairly draa ed Mr. Aubrey hither that you may here trom ins own Jips wuat transpired last eve ninz..' " l'ardon me. Miss Amesbury," pleaded Aubrey, in most beseeching accents, "pardon and lorgivo.

" At tho Royal Bengal Saloon." " Why were you there V" " I went to obscrvo the movements of another another, whom I saw in com pany with oue of the most noted gamesters in our city and whose company he has kept for many days past.

Her brother was amazed, while Aubrey showed by his looks that he was alarmed. By and by the door was opened, and Edith re-entered, enveloped in a water proof cloak drawn tightly around her throat and extending to her leet. "Where is your witness?" now asked her brother." " llere," she said. As she snoke she eathercd ud her flow ins tresses and put a dark cloth can upon her head, and then throwing olf her cloak sue stood arrayed in boy's attire. The very boy whose wonderous eyes had looked upon Thomas Aubrey in the Royal Bengal Saloon on the previous evening. " Edith 1" cried Charles, when he could command speech, "what docs this mean i" " It meat. " she ronlied "that tho nerson P whom I employed to watch the movements ot our enemies was one whom I could most implicity trust myself. I borrowed these garments of a friend, aud through the influence of a man high in authority, I gained a pass to the gaming hall. Let Mr. Aubrey tell the rest." But Mr. Aubrey was struck dumb. " Theu," pursued Edith, "let this man sneak." And going to the door, she led in Walter Harling. It would be painful to tell how Thomas Aubrey crept away from the house. But he left joy aud sunshino behind him. Edith ran away and put oil' her masque rade ; aud when she came back in her own attire, radiant and jubilent, her brother had heard the whole story from Walter's lips. "What say you to the discovery of my agent V" demanded the proud and happy girl. " I ask your pardon both," said Chas. " and tho only attonement I can oiler is this." He took the hand of his sister and placed it within I ho grasp of Waller Uai liug, ad ding, when he had dooo so, " God bless the deed." L - - iliBrillaiujmo. 1IYDKOPIIOBIA. HOW TO TltEAT IT SUCCESSFULLY A correspondent of the Detroit 2'noune gives an account of the trcatmeut pursued in a recent case or hydrophobia at r lint, Michigan. The subject of so much dis cussion, Mr. Brunt True, was bitten by a rabid dot: last May. 1 lie dog had Uilten him iu the ceutur of the right hand. Being in the country at the time, it was some twelve hours before ho reached a surgeon. who cauterized the wound with uitriite of silver. The wound healed and remained so until it became irritable and broke out again. Soon tho first marked symptoms of hydrophobia showed themselves, convul sions, "barking liko a dog," frothing at tho mouth, and making strenuous exer tions to bite everything that came near. Dunne his couvulsions the patient would seize the pillows from the bed with his teeth, aud rcud tueiu wuii an tne ieiocity oi an angry uog. Au immense dread of water also exhibit ed itself, the sight threw him into the most terrible convulsions, at theso times requir ing the united strcugth of two men to keep him under subjection ; tho fact, every symp tom of hydrophobia made itself conspicu ous. The patient was attacked on Friday evening, January 16. On Saturday even ing his physiciau, Dr. Oxford reached him, aud at once was convinced of the terrible nature of the disease. Having had a case similar seven or eight years since, where the patient recovered uuUer his treatment, aud has remained well ever since, after consulting the physi cian present. Dr. Mi-Cull, it was decided to place the patieul uuder the same treatment which had been successful iu this former case, which for the aid it may be lo others who sutler from the disease, we here give as follows : The injection under ihe skiu of large doses of moi phiue, and the admiuis tratiun of large doses of castor, which is a powerful anti-spasmodic. About one grata of the sulphate of luorphin was injected uu der the ouce iu four hours, and half a drachm of the powerful castor, mixed with syrup, giveu luturualiy. The eil'ect was to produce sleep in about half an hour, which lasted about an hour and a half, when tho convulsions relurued at intervals of an hour to au hour aud a half, until uiu3 o'clock on Suuday morning, when the last convulslou occurred, after which he suffered severely from obstiuate vomiting uulil Moudayat 10 o'clock, wheu that hi m ceased, leaviug tho patieul coin narnlivelv easv. but very much prostrated. Since that time he has gradually improved uud tiow is, lo all appearauce, quite well, lu addition to the above treatment, small quantities of chloroform were iubaled at times, aud on Sunday morniug tbe patieul was wrapped iu a wooleu blauket wrung out of a warm solution of the muriate of ammonia. This was the treatment which checked this fearful melody, and which Dr. Axford, for the sake of humanity, is anxious it should be published to the world aud thoroughly tested.

Te Preserve Cider. "A correspondent for whose opinion we have a very high respect," says the N. Y. World, "seuds us a communication in which he recomends the use of sulphite of lime as a means of preventing the f'crmen- dation of cider. This material is now used in large quanlitics by brewers and also by sugar manufacturers. Cane juice properly treated with it may be kept for months without material injury, and may then be boiled with a certainly of producing ex cellent sugar. Knowing these fads by practical experience, we thought our cor-, respondent's idea might be a good one, at the same time we took the precaution to- nsk a large dealer in the bi-sulphnte and chemicals generally, and were informed that Vie cider mnnufacturert tcould not use U. He further said, the process they use is to let the cider ferment once, sons to clear, then rack ofT, and into each cask or barrel they throw a piece of fresh raw beef; by this system of operation the cider is not only kept sweet, but some think it is im proved . We know nothing of its value ex cept that it is very generally used by largo cider makers who have a high reputation) for the excellence of their product. View ing in a chemical light, we would say that it was far preferable to the bi-sulphate mode, as the albumen of the meat has a tendeucy to soften the acidity aud produce mellowness, while there aro circuinstauces under which the lima might uuite with tho acetic ncid and produce acetate of lime, which, if not positively injurious, would uot at all add to the flavor of the cider. Fricasseed Eoo-Flan-t. reel and slice tho egg-plant ; lay the slices iu salt water two hours, to remove tho bitterness and the black which it would otherwise have; after soaking, drain oil' all the water; have enough boiliug water in a clean, bright saucepan to cover the slices ; throw in a great spoonful of salt, and lay iu tho egg plant ; let them boil until thoroughly cook ed ; theu drain off the water, pour in suffi cient milk to cover the slices, add two tablespoonsful of butter, rolled in flour ; let it simmer gently, shaking in the pan over the fire till the sauce is thick, and then stir iu the beaten yelks of three eggs just before serving. Tooth Wasii. Dissolve two ouuees or borax in three pints of water ; before quite cold add one teaspoonful of tiucture of tnyrrh and one tabiespoonful of spirits or camphor ; bottle for use. A wineglassful of the solution added to a half piut of tepid wat:f is sufficient for each application. This solution applied regularly preserve and beautifies the teeth, arrests decay, and. induces a healthy action of the gums. To Cuhk A Sty. l'ut a leaspoonfuf of soda in a small bag, pour on it just enough boilng water to moisteu it, then put it on the eye pretty waim. Keep it on all night, and iu the morning the sty will most likely be gone, if uota second applica tion is sure lo remove it. We have also heard that the while of an egg, applied to. tbe eyelid with a feather just before retir ing, soou effects a cure Styes arise from impurity of the blood, and no permanent cure can be effected by a mere external ap plication. The blood should bo kept in a healthy coudilion by the frequent uso of some mild purgative say a dose of iliubarb and mag nesia. To Cuke a Felow. Many persons are liablo to extreme suffering from felons oa tho fiugcr. The following prescription is recommended as a cure for tho distrcssiug ailment : Take common rock salt, such as is used for salting dowu pork or beef, dry it in an oven, then pound it fine aud mix, with spirits of turpentine in equal parts. Put it on a rag and wrap rouud tbe part affected, aud as it gets dry put on more, and in twenty-four hours you are cured ;he felou is dead. Sugar for Glazing Cakes. Put into a vessel with a little water, tho white of one egg well beaten and stirred well iuto the water : let it boil, and while boiliui throw in a few drops of cold water. Theu stir in a cup of pounded sugar. This must boil to a foam, theu be used. This make a beautiful glazing for cakes. TOMATOE Cl'STABD. This is said to be a beneficial dint for consumptives. It it made by straining tinely stewed tomatoes through a coarse sieve, and adding two pints of milk aud one pint of tomatoes for four eggs and one toatpooufiil of sugar. Bake in small cups quickly. Asparagus. The Western Rural saya that asparagus should be cut iu the fall as soon as tho growth becomes ripe and dry. We do not remove it at all, but add enough straw so that all will burn clean, because tbe ashes count so much at a fertilizer, aud tbe stalks are difficult to convert into man ure. The reason for removiug it from tho bed or plantation is that compost or rottcit manure may be spread in the fall to protect lite roots, partially from the frost, and also that the rains may wasb,oiuo of the solu ble portious ol the uaauuru into the soil be fool it is lightly dug iu the spring, it is also removed to facilitate subsequent culti vation, for an asparagus bed once prorwrlj uade ought to be good for a lifctimt.
