For some time I bad knowo that the could not live long, jet ber words gpnt a shiver through me. I truat not aunt," clasping one of her wasted hands in mine ; "yoa are no worse tu da? than four months past. Surely you t-hould not give op all hope ; ' "Why should I care why should I hope 7 Life is but one long ior turc to me ; why should I mourn that it is to eo ! " Mf woman's heart haa borne too much, my child. Fate wove manv a darksome thread over me." I looked in wordless pity at ber as glic lay anion the pillows, pale ana wasted, and 1 knew that her thoughts hai gone back into the past, by the light smile tnat curvea ncr tips. I tpnderlv naseed mr band over her faded hair, and, thinking of all the sorrow she had faced and strug gled with, I bent forward, pressed mv lips to her brow and murmured softly : "Mv noor auntie!" Her large eyes opened aud turned to ray taee. "Winnie, may I tell you ?" she in quired. "Certainly," said I, in surpriso "what can you wish to tell me Aunt. Nora?" My one great ?in my one great sorrow," was her answer. Was my aunt mad? Surely the approach of death had turned her brain! Her great sin ! Why, her life had been one great sacrifice, ber heart the abode of suffering, since that time so long ago when she stood, half crazed with grief, over the dead body of her promised hunbaad, the handsome young bcir cf the Linton homestead, that as now without master or mistress, a beautiful but deserted Fpot. Ah, well I knew she had suilered, but none c-juld say mat she had siuned. She had lavished her wealth on the needy, and in many a cottage was her name spoken at the hour of prayer, reverently, witi blessing after blessing upon it. "Sinned ?" said I, sofily. "Auntie, dear, you are Uut dreaming. Will you not try to sleep r "A av, child, ere Ion? I shall sleep soundly, but I caunot die with it un told. Promise that vou will not shink frox me when 1 tell you ; (or, v. lnme, since I took you to my heart you have won me to love you a3 I lovt'U out one btfjre. Promise me. "Auuiie,- dear, uotbiog on earth could make me turn from you ; no sin, however dark, cjuld make me love vou less." She clasped my band convulsive- "Ab, child, you do not know," she said, "upon my band is blood, the blood ot the one I held dearer than aught on earth. Winnie, do not, I pray do not turn from me ; remember I am dying!" for I had tried to with draw my band. Auat Nora," I cried in horror, you ciMinot mean this ! Surtlv, you of al! on earth are not toe one to shed the blood of a human beine ! Auntie, darliog, you do not mean it." "Child, listen, whilo I have the strength to tell, fjr I kuow that my hours are numbered. Do not con demn until vo'i hear me. When I was young and fair I bad many too maoy lovers. Heiress to a noble fortune, possessed of rich beauty, it wa-i no wonder. Life was a perfect dream of joy, for my faiher wor shipped his only child, and I had been too young to weep when my mother died. "Ujly as sjme light butterfly I dlneed aloog life's pathway, nor dreamed of sorrower care. "Friends I had, yes, many a one ; but of all, I loved the best one fair faced girl. We had met at school, and then I had fallen in love with her. It wa3 not strange, for she was nioro beautiful than any picture I had ever seen, with long golden hair, large innocent blue eyes, and ripe red lip3 like those cf a tender babe. Her skin was clear as that of a waxen image, and seldom held the least col or. She was shorter than I, but per fectly formed, with tiny hands and feet." i witn my uurt eyes, aud raven hair, and tall, slender figure, felt noth ing beside hor for beauty, although many said I was fairest. "lie that kS it may ; when my fath er took me to E , Lottie and I wept bitterly at parting; but my tears fell fastest, and she promised to spend the following summer with me in my new country home. "Ab, Winnie, alas, the day came ! I met Duke Linton, and loved bim with the whole wild passion of my young heart. You do not know, child, how a woman of my nature can love. But his deep gray eyes, and haughty brow were stamped up on the heart cf the careless young girl, and are still cherished in the bosom of the dying woma,n. And yet, O, God, that I who so loved him should have laid him so low !" "In heaven's name, aunt, do not say you killed Dokg Linton!" I cried in terror. "Child," she said, "I did. It was I who drove the dagger to bis faith less heart, I who bent above him when he breathed his last." "Let me tell you all. I loved bim as it is the fortune cf few women to love, and he profesacd to worship me. How my heart throbs even now when I think of those happy days! God of mercy, why were they so few ?' She paused a moment, then went on. "We were engaged, and the day set for onr union. In a perfect dream of bliss I wrote to Lottie Dent She re plied and said she was going to visit me very soon. "May bad left us, and June roses were blooming ere Lottie came. "More beautiful than ever, more careless and gay, she sprang into my arms when I ran to meet her. "Do you know, Winnie, I believe iu presentiments since then? For, as 1 stood with her clasped to my boscm, a chill came over my heart as though the icy winds of winter were sweeping across its Dated chords. "Ah, if I bad then known why ! But it passed, and I did not know t a 1. 1, i r; 7i i: n , i h a PA., WEDNESDAY, that God sent it B3 a warning that I held a serpent to my bosom. "Well, days flew paEt, and Lottie had met my lover. She liked him she said, but he wag not the sort of a man she would choose. Her fancy had always been for eyes of gloom, and bair like the raven's wing. "Day after day we three wandered about in perfect- happiness, gayly plucking flower by flower, not caring though tbey faded. "I did not mind the Duke and Lot tie wandering off without me, bat smiled to thick tbey were such good friends. v "The day of my marriage was set, and on the 4ib of October I would 1 ecome a bride.:-, I was buy io preparations, nor. noted that which might otherwise have caused my heart to bleed. ' "But one day it was as summer was dying, in the first part df Sep tember Lottie and I were standing by the side of the pretty lake that may be seen from the library wia d)ws. "We each carried a pretty basket of ferns aud late Rowers, and I was thinking how beautiful Lottie looked in a floating robe of snowy white, the oolv color about ber being the bright green of the ferns in ber basket. Ab, yes; in her beautiful hair she wore a bunch of blight red berries, with their green leavta. "In some manner Lottie's foot slipped from the stone on which she stood, and in a moment she was screaming ia the water, her ferns floating about her and one hand grasping some shrub that grew on the margin of the lake. "I wa3 too much frightened to move, but stood with dilated eyes, gazing in horror on her sinking form,! when seme ono rushed by me and iu a moment Lottie was clasped t. Duke Linton s breast. " 'Poor child, she has fainted,' he said to me. But I was not surprised that his very lips were white, for I myself was terribly frightened, and thought it was fear least a human iifo was being quenched before his sight that caused lip and cheek to pale. Ah, me ! 'twas more. "Days Dew on and the first of Oc tober was fading. I threw a wrap about me and went into the garden to enjoy my dreams alone. "W ith no intentions of doing so, I entered a small arbor into which the fading daylight scarcely peietrated. "Upon a table ia one corner stood a small basket of fruit, and beside it wa3 lying a pretty dagger that Duke bad been permitting us to admire in the afternoon. He had doubtless forgotten it was there. I picked it up. Winnie, it must have been the devil that made me jjo it, but as I stood with it ia my hand I heard voices that I knew. Could it be ? Yes, 'twas Duke and Lottie. "Ah, child, think of what I endur ed while I stood there in the gather ing gloom, and beard him tell ber of bis love to ber and beg that, ere the chain that he bated bound him, she would flee with him ana be his wife. "No thought of me; no pity for the proud heart that be knew would surely break; no remembrance cf the vows be bad spoken so short a time before came to bim as be vowed love and devotion to my friend. And she! Winnie, she listened, and she prom ised to flee with bint. Child, 1 think that I was mad. I saw him clasp her to his breast, and saw her raisd ber lips to his, then leave bim and flit toward the house. "He came forward, entered the ar bor, and I shall never forget his face as be stood before me. Shame, cow. ardly shame mado him sbridk. "As God hears me, I had not a thought of murder then, but the dag ger was still in my hand; I raised the Land t; pjiot for him to go, aud the steel caugLt my eyes; I raised tbe hand higher, took a step forward and buried tbe blade in his bosom. "He fell at my feet, and, realizing what I had doue, I koelt beside bim and frantically called his name. He did not answer, and knowing that he was dead, I sprang to my feet and rushed toward the house. I gained my own room and bolved the door. "All that night long I paced my chamber floor, and every chord of my heart strained to breaking. Friend and lover, both were false. Her fair face bad won him, and he would have left me to bear my breaking heart and the world's cold scorn as b"st I might. "Ere morning dawned I bad come to a resolution. My pride was sav ed, and better place him in the cold earth than know he had deceived and cast me aside. "One thought was mine, my pride was saved. "I kept my room next morning till I beard a noise cf many excited voic es in tbe hall below, also tramping of many feet. Ab.tbey had found him! Now uow I must act my part. "I opened the chamber door, fled down stairs and right up to the ob ject oa tbe hall floor. Then my wo man's heart returned. One glanco at tbe rigid face, one sight at the crimsoned breast and I fell upon ti e marble floor in a deadly swoon. Many kind friends ministered to me, none knowing that npon the hand that bore his betrothed ring rested bis blood. "Lottie Dent took strong convul sions when she knew of his murder, but left E , next day, and I never heard from her again. "They bore him to Lis grave, the last of the proud race of Linton. I, in my mourning garb, followed af ter, his almost bride; the woman who bad taken his li e. "Since that time I have vainly tried to kill remorse by my lavish charity the small voice speaketh still.

A I.IKIe Leanon. We ought not to complain too bit terlv or be too much disheartened at the misfortunes that may befall us, as we never can be sure that tbe events, however apparently unto ward niav not turn out to be mis- fortuues at all in tho end. The pria ciple is well illustrated by the M lowing case: A seaman oa board a maa-of-war had both his legs broken by the bursting of a bomb on the decks ia the midst of a battle. He was takea below and his case was sjoa exam ined by the surgeon. The surgeon decided that tbe left one was so badly fractured that it must come off. The next morning, being occu pied himself with the cases of some of the ofiicers he sent two cf his as sistants to perform- the amputation. TLcy somehow or other made a mis lake, atd took rff tbe right leg which in this ca.e was the wrong one. The surgeoa, whea ho came to see what had been dune, was much in censed against the assistants, as was also the seaman himself. The latter, however, declared that be would not submit to another amputation, but would take bis chances with the wreck that remained to him, and live or die as fate might determine. Contrary to tbe surgeon's predic tions, he got well. The left leg re covered and became serviceable as ever. He had a wooden leg made to replace the other. Sometime afterward he was ij another battle. A shot camo from the enemy' ship, aod, sweepiog tbe deck, struck our seaman and took off bis woodea leg. He seized hold of the capstan to steady himself, as soon a3 he had recovered a little from tbe shock,.and tbe astonishment cf seeing the splinters if his wood en limb Hying by bis side, he snap ped his finger, sayiog: "How lucky it is for me that those blundering fellows took oil the le? tbey did ! For if they had taken off tbe otber one I should not now have anv le at all." Srbon! Room Eierdses. Jubn, biua l tbe state of matrim ny. The stats of matrimony is bound ed ou the North by solitude, oa the East by double trouble, on the West by vexation. What are its chief products? Peevish babies, scolding wives, hen-pecked husbands, smoked coffee, burnt ham, and sour pies. What is said of its climate. It has a more varied temperature than that of any other state ia ex istence. In that portion of it called Honey Moon the climate is salubri ous and healthy, the atmosphere is laden with the 3wects of the flowers of Hymen. In some parts tbe in habitants experience a freezing cold reception when they expect most warmth, and in some otber parts there is the burning sensation of the torrid zone. Sarah, has John given a correct outline cf the state of matrimony. Can't say, sir; never was in that state.

And though Shakespeare a?ks what's ia a name, and says that a rose by any other name "would smell as sweet, yet marriage being a noun, and therefore a name, shows that tbe rule established by the bard of Avon has at least one exception ir or marriage certainly is of verv great importance, and being noun, therefore a name, ergo there is some thing in a name. Good, what is the case of mar riage ? Don't know, sir. Decline it and seo. Don't feel at liberty to decline marriage after having made Bill the promise I have. Had rather conju gate. Jane, can you tell Sarah ia what case marriage is ? les, sir. It 13 a very common case, and I wouldn't care if it was a little commoner. I 'spose Sarah won't be married a week before it's in tbe printer's case. Can yoa decline marriage? Jane blushes extremely, and an swers, Had rather not, sir. Well, Sarah, what person is mar riage ? Second person, sir, because the person yoa speak t! is tbe one that is going to marry. What number is marriage? Plural number now, sir, because Bill and I are two at the present time.

He is a nice, good, siciablo gentle man: but from a distant State, of course he was totally unacquainted with our people. Therefore, it happened that during his pastoral calls he mada several lu dicrous blunders. One of them is as fallows : The other eveniag be called upon Mrs. Hadden. She had just lost her husband, and naturally supposed that his vLit was reUtive to the sd occurrence. So, afcer a few com:noa-place3 had been exchanged, she was not at all surprised to hear him remark : "It was a sed bereavement, was it not, Mrs. Hadden ?" "Yes," falt;red the widow. "Totally unexpected ?" "Oh, ye3 ; I never dreamed of it." "He died in the stable' I suppose.'" "Oh, no ; ia the house." "Ah well, I suppose you must Have thought a good deal of him." "Of course, sir" this with a vim. The minister looked rather sur prised, crossed his legs, and renewed the conversation. "Blind staggers was the disease, I believe ?" he said. "No, sir," snapped the "widow, "apoplexy." "Indeed; you must have fed him too much." "He was always capable cf feed ing himself, sir." "Verv intelligent he must have been. Died lard, didn't he ?" "He did." "You had to hit him oa tbe head with an axe to put bim out of misery, I was told." Mrs. HadJen's eyes snapped fire. "Whoever told you so did not speak the truth," she haughtily ut tered. "James died naturally." "Yes," repeated the minister, ia a slightly perplexed tone, "he kicked the side of tbe bara down in his last agonies, did he not ?" "No, sir, he didn't." "Well, I have beea misinformed, I suppose. How old was he ?" "Thiriy-five." "Then he did not do much active work.' Perhaps you are better with out him, for you can easily supply Lis place with another." "Never, sir never will I see one as good a.3 he." "Oh, yes, you will. He had the heaves bad ycu know." "Nothing cf the kind.'' "Why, I recollect I saw him, one day, with you on his back, and I distinctly recollect he had tbe heaves, and wa'lied as if he bad the string halt." "Mr t. Hadden stared at her rever end visitor as if she imagined that he was crazy. "He never cculj have had the spring-heir, for he had a cork leg," she returned. "A cork leg ! remarkable. But really, now, didn'i he have a danger ous trick of suddenly stopping and kicking a wagon all to pieces?" "Never; he was not a madman, sir." "Probably not. But there were some good points about bim." "I should think so." "The way in which he carried his ears, for example." "Nobody else ever noticed that particular merit," said the widow, with much asperity ; "he was warm hearted, generous and frank." "Good qualities," answered he un consciouely. "How ioasr did it take him to go a mile ?" "About fifteen miautes." "Not much of a goer. Wasn't his hair apt to fly V "lie hadn't any hair. He was bald beaded." "(Jaile a curiosity ?" "No, sir, no more of a curiosi'y thaa you are." Tbe minister shifted uneasily, and got red ia the face. But he returned to tbe attack. "Did you use tbe whip much on him ?" he questioned. "Never, sir." "Went right along without it eh ?" "Yes." "He must have been a good sort cf a brute?" Mrs. Hadden turned while, and made no reply. Tne minister did not know what to say, but finally blurted out. "W hat 1 most admired about bim was the beautiful waggle cf bis tail." Then tbo widow just sat down and cried. "The idea cf coming here aad in sulting me!" she sobbed. "If my busband had lived, you wouldn't a done it. Your remarks ia reference to my poor dead man have beea but a series of insults. I won't stand it." He cjlored and looked dumbfound ed. "No, no." "Ain't you Mrs. Blinkers?" he stammered. "And had not your old gray hDrse died? " "I never owned a h horse, but my husband d-dicd a week ago !" Ten minutes later the minister came out of that house with the red dest, face ever seen on mortal man. "And to think." be groaned, as be strode home, "that I was talking norse to tnat woman all tbe time, and she was talkin&r husband!" Two brothers lived in a village in Jersey. Tbey were twins, and their extraordianry resemblance to each oth er caused many queer mistakes. The following story is told of them, but we do not voucn for it: An Irishman was offended by one of tbe brothers. and was a long time watching his op portunity for revenge. Tbe twins were constantly together, and al though Pat was fretty well able to manage one, be considered that the whipping of both together was a lux ury be could not afford to indulge in. At last, bowever, be met oae of them alone, but was not quite sore that he bad tbe right man. He determined to inquire into the matter. "Is that you?" said he, "or are you only your brother? " i be fellow, taking in tbe sit uation answered, "Oh I'm only my brother." "Then it's well for yoa it isn't yourself that a in it," said rat, aa be walked eff with a c lear con science.

Pierson replied gravely: "Mars Tom, that situation with all its ad vantages is open to you if you woulJ like to go and fill it."

Guard your tempers, especially iii seasons of ill health,, irriutioo and trouble, and softea them by prayers, penitence, and a sense cf your own sbort-comings and errors. Never speak or act in anger uaiil yoa have prayed over your words or acts, and concluded that Christ would have done so ia your place. Kemember that valuable as ia the gift of speech, the gift of silence is often much more precious. Do not expect too much from oth ers, but remember that all have an evil nature, whose development we muit expect; and we should forbear and forgive, as we often desire for giveness and forbearance ourselves. Never retort a abort or angry word. It is tbe second word that makes the quarrel. Beware of the first disagreement. Learn to speak in a gentle tone of voice. Learn to say kind and pleasant things wherever opportunity offers. Study the character cf each one, and sympathize with tbem in their troubles, bowever small. Do not neglect small things if they can affect tbe comfort of others io tbe smallest degree. Avoid mooda, pets, and fits cf sul kiness. Learn to deny yorselves and to prefer ethers. Beware of meddlers and tale bear ers. Never charge a bad motive if a good one is conceivable. Be gentle but firm with children.

About 10 o'clock this morning a tramp went into a B-street saloon and devoted ten minutes in a very zealous manner to the dinner-table. By the time he had masticated about a poand of corned beef the bar keeper stepped op and remarked : "This table is for drinkers." "Then, why don't yoa bring on your drinks? I've beea here ten miuu'es, and havn't seen a drop of anything. If it's a drinkia' table, wbere's the fluid ?" "I mean it' tor tho patrons of the bar," said tbe barkeeper. "Then, why ain't they here? I 'spose yoa mean a man must spend money at the bar before he eats?" "Exactly." That takes me in. I took a drink here last summer and didn't eat a mouthful, and if I ain't entitled to a lunch oa that drink then this sys tem is a failure all around." "Bat the place has changed bands since then," said the bar-keeper, pick ing up a bang starter. "Ah, indeed !" replied the urbane bummer, "that fact, as your gesture would Imply, raises a new and em barrassing complication, in onr dip lomatic relations, I will therefore re cede, as it were, from my original position, and await the assembling of tbe Peace Congress."
