"O dearest maid ! to win thy love

AVE A It Y OK LIKE:
Midnight was part, and the lights
of the vessels lying at anchor in the
ntreain were U-ginning to Le extin
guished, when two men hurried
from diin rent directions towards the
shore.
The older of the two had already
reached the strand, and was prepar
ing to make a leap, .the designs of
which was not to be mistaken ; hut
at that instant the younger one seiz
ed him ly the arm exclaiming, '"Sir,
I Ulicvc vou want to dron yourself!-'
"You have guessed it What is
that to you?"
This was the answer sjoken in
an angry tone:
'Nothing 1 know. 1 would sim
ply request you to wait a few min
utes when, if you like, we will
make the journey together, arm in
arm the lest way of dying."
With these words, the younger ex
tended his hand to the elder, whose
was not witheld.
The younger continued in a seem
ing tone of enthusiasm : "So be it !
Arm in arm ! Truly, I did not think
a human heart would leat with
mine in this last hour. I will not
seek to know who you are an hon
est man or a villain. Come ? let
us ljegin the journey together!'
The elder man held the younger
hack, and fixing his dim, half ex
tinguished eyes ujon the counte
nance of his companion, exclaimed :
"Hold 1 You seem to me to be too
young to end your life by sliicide.
A man of your years has still a bril
liant, alluring future in his grasp."
"What have I to hope for in the
midst of a world that is full of wick
edness, falsehood, treachery and un
happincss? Come! quick !"'
"You are still young. You must
have had very sorrowful exjwrjen
ccs to make life already thus insup
portable to you."
"I despise mankind."
''Without exception ?"'
"Without exception."
'Well, then, you have
now, per-
haps, found a man whom
vou will
necessarily despise. I have, believe
me during my whole life, lived an
honorable man."
"Really ! that is highly interesting.
It is a pity I had not earlier made
your acquaintance."
"Leave me to die alone, young
man. Live on. Believe me, time
heals all wounds, and there are men
of honor yet to be found."
"Now, if you take this view, why
are you hurrying so fast from the
world!" said the young man.
"Oh, I'm an old sickly man, una
ble to make a livelihood ; a man who
cannot, will not see his only child,
his daughter, blighting her youth
and laboring night and day to sup
port him."
Now, sir, have you a daughter who
does this for you?" asked the young
man, surprised.
"And with what endurance, with
what love, does she sacrifice herself
for me."
"And you want tooommit suicide ?
are you mad!"
"Shall I murder my daughter ?
The life which she is now leading is
certain death," answered the old
man, in a despairing voice.
"Good sir, come with me to the
nearest inn that is yet open, and let
os drink a bottle of" wine together.
You will relate to me your history,
and, if you like, I will let you hear
mine. So much, however, will I say
to you beforehand ; chase all thoughts
oj self-murder out of your mind, I
am rich, and, if things be as you say,
from henceforth you and your daugh
ter shall lead a pleasant life."
The old man followed the young
... . ... . , J .
cr witnout opposition. A lew min
ntes later, over full glasses, the elder
began :
"My history is soon told. I was a
incrchant'sclerk,butalwavs unlucky.
As I had nothing by inheritance,
ana the young girl 1 married was
poor, I was never able to commence
business on my own account, and
remained to an old age in a deiend
ont subordinate position. Finally.
I was discharged on account of my
years, and then began a struggle
for subsistence. My wife died of
trouble, and now my poor child is
wearied to gain my support. I can
not bear to see her work herself to
death for me therefore it i3 better
I go. Now you know all."
i riend, exclaimed the young
man, "you are the most fortunate
man I ever encountered in my life.
it is insane to call that misfortune,
Nobody is easier to help than you,
To-morrow I will make my will, and
you shall be no resistance! my
heir. The coining nieht is mv last.
Before this, however, 1 must see j-our
daughter, out of mere curiosity. I
would for once see how one looks
who really deserves the name of wo
man. '
"But, young man, what can it be
that makes you so unhappy thus
early ?" questioned the elder, much
moved.
"I believe it was the wealth my
father left me, I was the only son
of the richest banker in this city.
My father died five years 6ince, leav
ing me more than was good for me.
Since that time I have been deceiv
ed and betrayed bv everyone, with
out exception, with whom I ever
had any connection. Some have
pretended friendship for me on ac
count of my money. Others have
pretended to love me again for my
money; and it went on. I often
mingled in the garb of a simple
wortinan, with the masses, and
thus one day became acquainted
with a charming being, a young
gin, to whom my whole heart soon
went out in love. I disclosed to her
neither my name or my position. I
longed to )xs loved for myself alone,
and for a time it appeared as if I
was going to be happy at last!
Tho young girl and I. whom she
still regarded as a simple workman,
met every afternoon in the Marcus-
platz, where we walked up and down
together, passing many happy hours.
One day my dear girl apjKared with
red eyes she had lccn weeping
and told me wc must pail ; confess
ing that her life bebnged to another !
With these words she tore herself
from me and disaptveared in the
crowd. Her faithlessness decided
my destiny. Vainly did I rush into
the pleasures which so called "good
society" has to offer, but found my
lost ieace of soul never, never ! 1
then determined to brin.: my joy
less existence to a close.''
"Unhappy young man," said the
elder wiping his eyes; from my
w hole heart I pity you. I must ac
knowledge that I was more fortunate
than you : for I at least was by two
women my wife anil daughter
tenderly loved."
"Will you give me your address,
kind sir,"that I may convince my
self of the truth of your story ? It is
not exactly mistrust, but I must see
to lxlicve. To-morrow 1 will ar
ranee my affairs as 1 have already
told you. You will remain at this
inn to -nieht, and in the morning I
will return. (Jive me vour word of
honor that vou will not leave this
house until f come back, and that
you will not, in the meantime speak
to any one of what has taken place
between us."
"You have my word. Go to my
dwelling, to my "daughter, and you
will find that I have told you but
the simple truth. My name is Wil
hclm Salm. Here is my full ad
dress." With these words he handed the
young man a paper, giving the ad
dress of his house. It lay iu a suburb
inhabited by the poorer classes, at
some distance from the city proper.
"And my name is Carl Teador,"
said the young man. "Take this
bank note ; it will serve till my re
turn." Carl rang for the waiter, had the
landlord called, commended the old
man to his care in suitable terms
and left the house.
Hardly had the n r;iing broke
when Carl found himself on the way
to the suburb where li veil the daugh
ter of the old man with whom he
had become acipiainted under such
peculiar circumstances. It was a
poor place. The young man knock
ed opened the door, and involuntari
ly stepped back.
What did he see !
The voung giri whose inconstancy ,
had made his life a burden unbeara
ble stood lefore him !
She had grown pale very pale ;
but he knew her at first glance; it

At his appearance, the young gir

The poor girl sank into her seat,
and covered her pale, beautiful
countenance with her pale hands
"Are vou Wilhelm Salms' daugh

after a pause.
"I am." answered the maiden
timedly.
"And who, and where is that other,
to whom, as you told me at parting.
vour lite belonged !
"That other is my father," answer
ed the young girl, looking up to the
young man with a glance in which
spoke the tenderest of love.
With lichtninz quickness the
truth dawned upon him, the seal
fell from his eyes.
Speechlessly he rushed to Bertha,
took her in his arms, and pressed
her to his breast
"Come to your father !' ho falter

"My father! Oh heaven! I forgot
where is he? He has been out all
nicht I have watched for him in
tears the long night throush."
"Your father is saved. He is witl.
me," was Carl's answer, as he hur
ried the young girl out, and through
the streets to the arms ot her lather.
A fortnight later, in the midst of
great splendor, the marriage of the
rich young banker, Carl Tcodor, to
Bertha balms, took place.

i:icih,int Playing 'Possum.
"There are some very cunning 1

said Mr. Durand, Uarnum's agee
the othcrday. Not long ago Chi
tain and Maudrie, top mounters j
the pyramid, and the most cunnij
of the flock, suddenly took a chi
ling spell at rehersal. The keept
sent out and bought four gallons
whiskey, which the monsters devout
ed rapidly and with great relish
The bill came to Mr. Harnum whose,
strong temperance pre-elections you
know. After paying the bill Mr.
Darnum insisted that no one in his
employ, not even his elephants,
should drink whiskey under any
circumstances. In a little while the
elephants when the effects of the
liquor had died away, commenced
shivering again, and apparently had
another chill. They looked "long
ingly at the keex-r,"and attempted
to cares? him with their trunks, as
much as to say, 'Give us another
drink.' The keeper shook his head
and told them positively, 'Xo.' In
five minutes every appearance o
ague had vanished, and the animals
were quietly eating hay as t;sual.
They have evidently been 'playing

I.a k or Air.
Some workmen think themselves
"tired " when they are only poison
ed. They labor in factories, breathe
air without oxygen, and live in an
atmosphere of death. They are, too
often, allowed to smoke, and thus
add fuel to the flame which is con
suming them. They knock of work
" tired " and listless, when they are
merely weakened by foul air and
made dull and heavy by an atmos
phere" charged with disease. They
keep the windows shut and close
the door on health, while thev lift
the grating of the tomb by breathing
and rebrcatlung tiie poison from
their own lunjrs. and the lloatinz
particles of matter about them.
Open the windows let in the sun
shine and the breeze, stop smoking,
and you will soon find that it is the
poison of confinement, and not labor,
that wearies and tires.
. Mountain Mahogany.
This wood is indi-renous to the
Nevada. The trees do not grow
large : one with a trunk a foot in
diameter is much above the average.
When dry the wood is about as hard
as boxwood, and of a very fine grain.
It is of a rich red color and very
heavy. When well seasoned it
would lie fine material for the wood
carver. In the early days it was
used in making boxes for shaftincr.
and in a few instances for shoes and
dies in a quartz battery. Used as a
fuel it creates intense heat, it burns
with a blaze as longas ordinary wood
would last, and is then found (al
most unchanged in form) converted
to a charcoal that lasts about twice
as long as that of ordinary wood.

A Death -Red Confession.
The people of Princess Anne,
Cris field and other parts of Somer
set county, Md., are greatly excited
over the reported confession of a
woman who is now on her death
bed of having murdered a man
eighteen years ago. Two negroes
were executed for the crime in 18GG
The murder occurred some time
during the. latter part of 1802, the
victim Im ing Asariah Dougherty,
who was found dead in his store.
As was then supposed, his money
was the incentive for the crime.
Suspicion rested upon two colored
men, who were arrested soon after
the murder was jerpetratcd, but no
money was found in their posses
sion and none could be found about
the premises of Dougherty. It was
generally supposed that some other
party or" parties were accessory to
the crime, but time failed to unravel
the mystery and the men arrested
were soon placed on trial for mur
dor and found guilty and sentenced
to be hanged.
The evidence upon which they
were convicted was purely circum
stantial, all efforts to show directly
that they committed the crime hav
inz tailed. The strongest evidence
connecting them w irh the murd
said to have been the 6
pockets of one of"""
