HIS ItEU'AHO:
"You arc most unjust, Charles,
and I know the Lord will one
day sting your conscience for your
cruelty, and your heartlessncss to
ward that dear child."
The speaker was a comely lady of
about lilty, tall, slim, and upright,
and neatly clad in widow s weeds.
Charles l'emberton, her eldest son,
a handsome, stalwart young man of
eigbt-and-twenty, whom she ad
dressed, answered impatiently :
'Confound the bov, I wish he was
dead."
lie did not mean that, for he lov
ed his little brother, and delighted
to make him happy. Hut his moth
er had a fital facility of tongue, for
the last tlire-' hours she had been
attacking him on th? subject with
aggressive meekness. And now,
out of his grief and his impatience,
he Hung forth those bitter words an
gry with himself as he did eo, and
rose to leave the room, lest his over
wrought temper should betray him
further. His mother flung a part
ing shaft after him.
"You may have your wish sooner
than you expect, Charles, and morg
than that. Ho will probably not
trouble you many years, for he i.
very delicate ; and I shall not outlive
him very long. Then I suppose
you will be happy."
Charles Pcinbcrton saw the cam
bric prepared for the shower, and
shuddering (led ; whereupon Mrs.
Pembeiton retired to her bedroom
to pray that her son's hard heart
might be softened.
And then from a curtained recess
at one end of the room, there came
a little boy of twelve, with blanch
ed, serious f.ice, half parted lips, and
wide dark eyes. Toward the close
of Mrs. Pemberton 's lecture he had
entered the room by an open win
flnw linncrccived. and. lindinz that
he wa9 the subject of their conver
sation, he had concealed himsen.
He had heard only the concluding
words, and they chilled his very life
blood. He stood now with his one
hand clutching the curtain.
",So Charles wishes I was dead,
iWa he? And mother thinks I am
going to die to pler.se him. Dut I
won L 1 wonuer wnai mates moLii
cr think I am going to die. Per
haps she .only said it to aggravate
Charles. Why should he wish I
was dead ? I thought ho was fond of
me;" and here he was nearly chok
ed with a rising sob, which he gulp
vl ilmvn with" difficulty. "I won
der why I'll ask him."
The next morning, auer weaiaasi,
his brother, who had forgotten the
incident of the previous da-, taking
a ball, called out:
"Cet your bat, Teddy, and Jets
have half an hour's practice."
As thev were walking down to the
field Kdward suddenly startled his
brother by asking:
"Would it le any good to you if
I was dead, Charles?"
' Good to me! Why, Teddy, what
are vou thinking of."
"Well, yesterday you stud you
wished I was dead ; and you would
not wish that if it would be no good
to you, would you ?"'
Charles stopped abruptly, and
said, with sternness: "Who told you
that?" x . t
"Nobody. I just came into the

room as you said it, and you didn't
sec me. And ever since I have
been wondering why."
Charles Pemberton fiung away
the bat and ball he was carrying,
and clasped the boys in I113 arras,
kissing him, and hugging him, like
a girl with a new doll.
"Oh, Teddy, Teddy, Teddy," he
said: "I wisli ray tongue had been
toru out by the roots before I had
said such a thing; but I didn't
mean it, Teddy. You never thought
I meant, did you? Why, Teddy,
I woman t lo.e vou for all the world,

It isn't right for rue to complain to

a man of you, and that it was time
you went to school : and then she
said I was cruel to you, and that I
didn't care for you, and lectured
and scolded 111c all the afternoon,
and then I forgot myself which I
ought not to have done, for I know
it h only her love that makes her
over-anxious and I said those
hateful words, that I never, never
meant, Teddy.
"I thought you neyer could mean
it, Charles," said the little fellow,
lie had borne un with wonderful
stoicism till now, but the avwwhel-
mmg sense of relief was too mucn
for him, and he began to weep and
soo convulsively. Miortiy, Jie sprang
up a:id clasped his brother's neck,
saying :

do just what you like, and you'll see
if I won't make a man, I'll win the
Greek and Latin priz3., too, if I
can: but you know 1 am not very
clever, Charlie, so you must not be
disapjKimtcd, ill don t do mat an

'Til trust vou, teddy, my boy, to
do the best you can, and none of us
can do more than that, I 6hall nuss
vou sorely, Teddy, but there 11 be
jolh long holidays, you know, and
we shall have pleasant times togeth-
er then. And now come on and
let's see how you'll guard your wick-
ot. If vou don t do me credit as a
cricketer, 111 sit on you."
The poor lady's heart was very
sore when her lioy had gone, and
she felt licrsef alone, and many and
dread were tuc misgivings that
darkened her mind. And Charles,
too, 1011 nirnseu aione.
Mrs. Pemberton' married life had
been outwardly calm and unevent-
ful : but she was out 01 sympathy
with her husband, a man of easy,
jovial temperature, who scarcely no-
tieed her coldness, and never trouo-
led himself about it: and she had
sought consolation in religion. She
had fallen under the influence of
certain meek persons, who held that

efforts to win over Charles to her

and day by day the icy crust of re-

felt all this acutely, lie tried to be

she had accepted made her bow with

he should separate himself from the
world, even as she bad done. When.
therefore, Charles announced to her
Ins intention or sending the boy to
Cambridge, it was to her a cruel and
a bitter blow. 1
For a few moiients she sat in si
lence, the gloori deepening on her
face, and her heart growing icier than
ever within her.:
"It will not be1 with , my will or
consent," she said at length, "that
he goes. But, I know my will and
wish have no weight with you,
and that 3rou delight to thwart
them." i
'Nay, mother," said he, mildly,
I am thinking only of Teddy's
good. It would be far pleasanter
both Dr. Vardy and Mr..L'6stehave
assured me that Teddy has remark
able abilities, and that he ought to
go. The boy himself is eager to go;
and 1 know he will distinguish him
sslf, if honest work can bring him
distinction."
"And what eood." hhe flashed
out, "will his distinction do him ?
'Knowledge puffeth up,' and it shall
vanish awav. There is but one
thing needful, and of that he is like
ly to learn little among gay and
thoughtless youths, whose homes
are all of this world. You are will-
in-
to gratify Jyour own smajl and
worldly ambition, by sacrificing the
boy s only true interest.
"Mother," he pleaded. 'I wish
vou would be a little more reasona

"A3, reason: " she broke in.
"Reason is the will-'o-the-wisp that
leads you astray, not only to your
own undoing, but that of others,
You think yourself wise; and you
maybe wise in the ways of this
world, but God has said, "I will de-
stroy the wisdom of the wise, I will

She was ready with quotations at
every turn to justuv herself, and
condemn her son. He would have
avoided giving her pain, had he
known how to do eo, but having
made up bin mind as to what was
best for the lad, he did not shrink
from canying it out; and as he
walked the fields alone, month after
month, he was oppressed by a dull
sorrow, which he was compelled to
bear in utter solitude, for to no liv-
ing soul could he complain of his
mother. Ills only consolation was,
that m his college career 1 eddy fully
justified every expectation that had

and he was to spend it with his old
jchool chum, who had been his
dearest friend also at collecc. I at
had left the university in the pre-
ious vear. lurenne Jermyn was
a young man whose friendship was
worth having, clear-headed, sound
hearted, of exuberant vitality. He
had often heard from Teddy ot
tempting break in a dull, monoton-
ous life and was accepted.
Sir Frederick Jermyn'u seat lay
on the slope of a lovely Berkshire
ed the lodge gates, and saw on eith-
er side the evidences of wealth and
social station, he began to regret
his acceptance, feeling that he would
scarcely be at his ease amid sur-
roundings so much above his own
homelier state. The cordiality of
his welcome, however soon chased
away these missgivings, and he had
not been many hours at Wilmore
Court before a new set of feelings
took possession of his mind.
He had exchanged greetings with
Sir Frederick, Turenne, and his
brother, was reading with their as-
distance, the noble view from the
window, when he was conscious of
most affectionate. - He was sure of
lus ground; more and more sure
each day until the very last, on the
eve of which he sat in his bed room,
musing much for he had determin
ed that he would know his fate on
the morrow. ' .
There was a tap at the door,
"Come in," he cried, and turning,
saw his brother, with a brilliant
flush on his face and a strange fire
in his eyes.
"Charlie," said he, in a voice that
quivered with some deep feeling,
"I want to tell you something."
"Yes," said he, kindly, and scarce
ly noticing these signs of unusual
emotion. "And I have, I think,
something to tell you. What is
your news ?"
Teddy walked to the window, and
stood there, looked out before ho
asked, speaking abrubtly, and with
out turning :
"Charlie, what do you think of
Lilian Jermyn?"
Had the boy then discoved his
secret, and was he coming to urge
him to the step on which he had al
ready determined? His agitation was
so great that he could scarcely find
words to speak, but he began to an
swer slowly, in low tones :
"I should, perhaps, have spoken
to you earlier, Teddy "
"The young man turned io him
impulsively.
"Ah!" he exclaimed, "you have
seen it all. I might have know that,
dear old brother. Charlie, bless me,
congratulate me, make much of me ;
she has promised to be my wife."
He had thrown his arms ronud
his elder brother's neck in the old
childish way, and was for a moment
or so incoherent in his joy ; he did
not observe, or if he did observe, at
tributed t a wrong cause his broth
er's emotion, though ho felt in every
fibre of his frame a thrill of grateful
recognition as his brother kissed his
forehead and said :
"God bless you, Teddy, and make
you worthy of such a treasure."
An hour later, as Teddy was leav
ing him, he said: "Oh, Charlie,
there was something you were go
ing to me. What was it !"
"Oh, that was a small matter, we
will not mix it with your joy to
night." A Cigar SwiuUle.
The number of persons who
make a living by defrauding their
fellow creatures in New York city
is greater, and the modes they em
ploy for the attainment of theirfends
more varied, than many imagine.
Indeed, the lower quarters of the
East Side, and even seme of the
downtown business centres, abound
with swindlers who, while fleecing
the public from morning to night,
are by the very nature of their trans
actions comparatively safe from le
gal interference. Foremost among
this class for impudence and rascal
ity are certain itinerant cigar and
tobacco auctioneers. Wherever they
find an empty store in a favorable
location they generally manage to
hire it for temporary use. The auc
tioneer's assistants are a sub-auc
tioneer and several professional
sharpers or "opers-in," and it takes
these men but little time to open
operations. All of them it may be
added, are resplendant in Bowery-
cut clothes and false iewelrv, and
their splendor seldom fails to im
press the class that they victimize,
f heir first ften on installing them
selves is to fit up the newly acquir
ed store with j"lass cases and stands
full of cigar-boxes, neatly labelled
and pleasing to the eye ; their second
is to hang out the traditional red
flag : and their third to entice cus
tom by beginning a little sale all by
themselves, in which the sharpers
play the part of an eager public,
anil display much activity m bid
ding for cigars and putting the
rmney on the counter. Soon the
bait thus held forth is snapped at
by a passing simpleton. He enters
the auction room and furtively
watches the proceeding for a while,
undetermined whether to invest his
savings on the tempting "Havanas"
which were being struck down at
such bargains. But before long he
is approached by one of the "buyers."
Nice cigars, eh f ixok as it they
can't be beat, and there's no mis
take alout them. Why, bless me,
considering the prices they're going
for, a voung lellow with some
spunk, I .should think, could sell
em again for double, the money.
Durned if I don't feel like trying it
myself anyhow."
Ytith these words the speaker
dives into the depths of his pockets,
but after a prolonged search only
finds a live dollar bill.
"The d take it," he murmurs,
there's a fine lot there going for
$10 or so, and I ve already bought
so much that 1 ve only a V left.
"But I say, young man" as a
bright idea seems to strike him
what if you and I go halves. Five
dollars ain't much for a man like
you, and we can get twenty on that
lot, now don't you forget it."
The sale is meanwhile going on,
the other swindlers still bidding
feverishly for cigars and handing
over money in payment. The youth
hesitates a moment, but finally suc
cumbs. His new acquaintance and
business partner hastens to bid $10
on a lot of six boxes on sale. As if
by magic the ardor of the other
buyers abates ; at least they do not
outbid him. The youth produces
his $5 perhaps his employers
money, which he hopes to replace
by a profitable disposal of his pur
chase and with the cigar boxes
under his arms he struts forth tri
umphantly. It is unnecessary to add
that the delusions he nurses are
quickly dispelled when he reaches
home and is laid upon a bed of sick
ness in consequence of over-indulg
ence in his newly acquired "Havan
nas," or when attempting to sell
them in a cigar store, he is confi
dentially informed that they are
nude of choice unadulterated cab
bage leaves and brown paper.
Worth Remember" n g.
Now that good times are again
upon us, before indulging in extrav
agant show, it is worth remember
ing that no one can enjoy the pleas
antest surroundings if in bad health.
There are hundreds of miserable
people going about to-day with dis
ordered stomach, liver or kidneys, or
a dry hacking cough, and one foot
in the grave, when a 50 ct bottle
of Parker's Ginger Tonic would do
them more good than all the expen
sive doctors and quack medicines
they have ever tried. It always
makes the blood pure and rich, and
will build you up and give you good
health at little cost. Read of it in

Among the Greeks the successfu
athlete was crowned with laurels
and loaded down with wealth and
honors. When Eirenetus, in the
ninety-second Olympiad, triumph
ant in games, entered Agrij-entum
his native home, he was attended by
an escort of three hundred chariots.
and followed by the populace, cheer
ing and waving banners. Milo six
times won the palm at both the
Olympic and Pythian games. He
is said to have run a mile with
four-year-old ox upon his shoulders
and afterwards killed the animal
with one blow of his fist, and ate the
entire carcass in one day ! So great
was his muscular power that he
would bind a cord around his hea
and break it by the swelling and
pressure of the veins. An ordinary
meal for Milo was twenty pounds
of meat, as much bread and 1-3 pint
of wine.
Polydamus, of Thrssalio, was of
collosal height and prodigious
strength, and, it is said, alone and
without weapons, killed an enor
mous and enraged lion. One day, it
is recorded, he seized a bull by its
hind feet, and the animal escaped
only by leaving the hoof in the grasp
of the athlete.
The Roman Emperor Jlaximinus
was upward of eight feet in height,
and, like Milo, of Crotona, coul
squeeze to powder the hardest stone
with his fingers and break the leg of
a horse by a kick. 11 is wife s brace
let served him as a ring, and hi3 ev
eryday repast was sixty pounds of
meat and an amphora of wine.
While a prisoner in Germany,
Richard I accepted an invitation to
a boxing match with the son of his
jailer.
He received the first blow which
made him stagger, but recovering,
with a blow of his fist he killed his
antagonist on the spot.
Topham, also an Englishman,
born in 1 1 1U, was possessed of as
tonishmg strength. His armpits,
hollow m the case of ordinary men
were with him full of muscles and
tendons.
He would take a bar of iron, with
its two ends held in his hands, place
the middle of the bar behind his
neck, and then bend the extremi
ties by main force until they met
together, ami bend back the iron
straight again.
One night, seeing a watchman
asleep in his box, he carried both the
man and his shell to a great dis
tance. and put them on the wall
of a churchyard. Owing to domes
tic tryublcs, he committed suicide
in the prime of life.
lhe famous Sunderberg, Xing of
Albania, who was born m 1414, was
a man of great stature, and his feats
of sword exercise have never been
equalled. On one occasion, with a
scimeter, he struck his antagonist
such a blow that its force cleaved
him to the waist. He is said to
have cloven in twain two men who
were clad in armor from head to
fsot. On one occasion the brother
and nephew ol a certain Ballaban,
who had been convicted of crualties
toward the Albians, were brought to
him bound together. Transported
with rage, he cut them in two with
one stroke of his weapon.
Maurice, Count of Saxonv, the
hero of Fontenoy, inherited the
physicial vigor of his father, and
was especially noted for the surpris
ing muscular power, or "grip," o
his hands. On one occasion, need
ing a corkscrew, he twisted a long
iron nail round into the required
shape with his ringers and otiened
halt a dozen bottles of wine with it.
Another time, when stopping at a
blacksmith shop to have his horse
shod, he picked up a number of
new horse-shoes, and with his hands
broke them in two as readily as if
made of glass, much to the disaoist
of the smith.
If history it to be believed, Pharyl-
lus, of Grotona, could jump a dis
tance of fifty-six feet. The exercise
was practiced at the Olympic Games,
and formed part of the course of the
Pentathlon, btrutt. an hnghsh
author on games and amusements,
speaks of a Yorkish jumper named
Ireland, whose powers were marvel
ous, lie was six feet high, and at
the age of eighteen leaped, without
the aid of a springing-board, over
nine horses ranged side by --ide.
He cleared a cord extending four
teen lect irom the ground with one
bound, crushed with his foot a
bladder suspended at a height of
sixteen feet ; and on another occa
sion he lightly cleared a large wag
on covered with an awning.
Colonel Ironside who lived in
India early in this century, relates
that he met in his travels an old
white-haired man who with one
leap sprang over the back of an
enormous elephant flanked by six
camels of the largest breed. A curi
ous French work published in
Paris in 1745, entitled "The Tracks
Towards the History of Wonders
Performed at Fairs," mentioned an
Englishman, who at the fair of St
Germain in 1824, leaped over forty
people without touching one of
them. In our own day we are
familiar with many remarkable
feats of strength and endurance.
Dr. Windship, with the aid of straps
lifted a weight of 3,500 pounds, and
with the little finger of his right
hand could raise his body a con
siderable distance from the ground.
While a man was dashing with
all his might and main down the
street to catch a train, a gamin rush
ed to him and shouted :
"Hey, mister, have you got a
pin ?"
"I have," responded the man, com
ing to a sudden halt, and feeling un
der the lapel of his coat
"Well, then," yelled the boy, as
he jumped aside, "you had better
fasten your care together behind
head, so as you won't mash any
swingin' signs with 'em."
The pedestrian passed on unheed
ful of the advice given him.
An elderly resident was approach

Then Mr. Smith pulled out Lis

"Sorrow and grief are the share of
