M SISTER'S IX.VKR. The month was May, and through my half open window came steal ing a soft wind, filled with aummer warmth and eummer fragrance. The trees in the garden were full of blos soms. The early roses were in bloom, but of all this I saw noth ing. My gate was fixed upon two figures elowly walking down the garden path a man and a woman. The man was tall, and strong, and Ola terful. jet tender as a moth- r wun ner urs; . i C born, gen le as a cirl in all the little acts and courte sies of lUe. IM woman wB9 uu..s and very beautiful, with a ngure slender and swaying like a reed as she walked, and dark, Instrou eye?, which brought to many a man his heart's undoing. I fancied the light in them now, as she lifted them lo Geoffry BranB coinbe's face. He wa her guardu n, and he loved her. Sue was but my half sister, five yearn my senior, and so I was not entitled to her confi- only a little nionin SlUUy, me uw.i"i " tnc hetter. To rnv own mul I could whisper the humiliai n i truth, could pour out the cruel ctnfti'n, with a irt of s.iv.ige picture at tlie eelf-iii flitted torture. It was my heart, not ihe butty, that suffereJ the heart that had fr ever panned into Gi'11'ry Brans couiebc's unconri'us keeping. I loved liitu he who w in to 1 my sUter's huilnnd. If I had m ver sucpocte.1 it lef..iv, I should have known it by the new light in her eyes, the new radianceof Ittt beauty, as it bun upon me on the day of nav return. And what could W m..re natural than that things should be as they were? Did not guardians klwayn love their wards, and wards their guardians? I had never read a look which treated of such a relationship in which such was not the sequel of the tale. And yet and yet, did it make it easier for me to bear ? I turned my gaze away from that other picture,and lifted myself up from the depths of the great chair in which I lay, until I could catch a glimpse of my own face in the mir ror opposite. What a contrast 1 My eyes, the vmly beauty I possessed, looked many times too large for the thin, dark face; and my hair, which had been the rival beauty to my eyes, was close cropped to my head. They had cut it off as I lay delir-1 ious with fever, and crying that its weight hurt me. I sank back with a groan. At that instant my sister, returning, entered the room. "Mabel," she cried "Mabel, dar ling, 1 am so happyj" And rapidly crossing the floor, she sauk down on her knees beside my chair. The contrast was too great Never bad I seen her half bo beautiful. "Donttell me don't!" 1 hastily nelaimed, and lifted up my hand, as if to ward off a blow. "I know," I continued. "I congratulate you; but dont say any more. You know, dear?" Bhe answered, look of surprise sweeping over her face. "How is that possible?" "Don't ask me. Only, I know. I But I could say no more. My weakness conquered my strength, and I burst into bitter weeping. "Poor child! Dear little Mb -IT be whispered, tenderly. "Do you love me bo well that you hate to lose me? But you will not rea'ly lose cne, dear. 'When I am married n "Hushr I interrupted. 4 I won't bear any more," and sobbing bitter ly, baried my face in my hands. Of course no heroine would have done such a thing; but I was no hero ine. I was only a foolish child.who had lived but eighteen years, and who could only look forward to a long, long life of lonely misery for I laved Geoffry. he had not meant to tu&Le me lore him I know that; but wbeu 1 iiad coiue home fr my Christmas fedidays, Alice had been away on a uit,and so I had seen him every day. We had ridden, and driven, and walked together, and, as 1 have aid, his manner hAl that uncou ecious and inherent teudUxness to ward things weaker than himself which had charmed my heart luta recklessly pouring forth its un heeded treasures at his feet. My excitement in repressing all this, and seeing the seal set upon my misery, brought its owo punish ment. For a week my life was again despaired ou Then, because I did not wish the boo, strength came slowly back. Every day he came; every day he seat bm flowers, or fruit, or some sweet message; but it was all an Added torture. At last, when I grew better, the physicians said I must have change, .ana so they sent me to the seaside, to visit an aunt who had a house at Worthing. I was glad to go. Had 1 stayed l borne, I ebould have goae mad. Alice and Mr. Branscombe went w ith me to the train. I had bade her good-by, and the train was just about to start, when he put his head in through the window. "You will let roe come and see Too," he said, and I had only time to answer. "Ko,no; you must not cornel". Only time for this, and to noe the swift look, so like pain, which wept over his face, ere he moved way, and my last glimpse was of tbeu both standing side by side, as they sheuld henceforth sU.ad through life. Notwithstanding my injunction t) thej contrary, be eame. I had been in my new home a fortnight, and soma of the color was stealing back into my cheeks, when one dfiernaon, a I sat alone, dreauicg, as I dream M 11 my idle hours away. 1 saw the face which a moment before had fioavtW iu my fancy. For oaoment I was happy su premely, -ecstatically happy, and, springing up. I held out both hands witn a rapturous cry of welcome, then I sank back cold and stern again. But that err had tcoucht him claae beside roe, and my hand were o tightly held in his strong dasp. wrote nis great Drown eyes looked into the very depths of mine, that I trembled and was still. Merciful Heaven! what was it that I read there? Could it be that be loved me, and that he had wooed and won Alice for her gold? . I should have said before that my eister was an heiress. 1 had no dower not even that of beauty; but Geoffry Branscombe, I would have sworn, was not a man to be bought or sold, to buy and sell; and Jtt, if not. lua eyes had lied, for deuce.

I held it there and drank. We epoke no word of love, but every day found him by my side. I was no longer ltles."; I was bril liant, even merry. I lauuhed and sang, as one might laugh and ting at the feast of death. And so a fortnight passed, and still he lingered; but his return was fi , , , morroW. un mat last, last evening we wondered down upon the beach, iilvered by the moon light. Standing in its rays, he turn ed and faced me, clasping his hand over mine as it lay upon his arm. "Mabel," he said, "I lovs you, child.

But you will not refuse me thie? It would mar all my happi ness, Mabel, and I am so happy. When you have seen Harry when you learu to know and love him for himself you will understand."

In silence she heard it through, and llio she sealed my lips with the kiss of Uie and par don. All night I battled with my mis ery aiul remorse. Alice exected her lover tli ;iet day.

I From Our Begular Correspondent. LONDON IJSTTER. Londox, Dec 30, 1882. Those belifferent echoes which have been rumbling round Europe during the past few days, like the distant sound of thunder. Beem to be dying away again. The journals Pesth. and Berlin, still. indeed, carry on an interchange of wars and rumors ot wars, out their tone is less alarming. The Bourses of the Continent also, which never took the disquieting reports t-rv mnrh to heart have ended ap parently by disregarding them alto gether, and the news from each great financial centre is that "prices are steady." When neighboring states grow tronirer. frontiers will naturally be rpinforced: but between works of this kind and armaments that create apprehension of war there is is great an interval as between the time when the fortresses of Posen and Konigsberg were founded, to the In other words, there is in all this no more a sign of the insecurity of jteace than in tne iact that France and tneland are strengthening the armor plating ef their respective battle ships, ii one Amtw to lie critical it might be re marked, no doubt, that snips oi war can move about, and, being intend ed for locomotion, menace no par ticular jKiint or foe; while the es sential meaning oi a lortress is mat it guards a certain spot, and has ref erence to a sjiecial danger. If Europe ever arrives at me siage of "peace and good will," really and visibly exemplified, it will not be, I lear, until more thau oue Uordian knot of Continental policy has been nntiwt lv the Mhre'a edtre: nor will the mild and holy influence of its faith restrain Christendom irom ine ill.uie;.litv of ita practice. Yet civ- iliztiion gains even by deferring wars when they cannot be prevent ed; for each day of peace accumu lates influences which eventually will he stronger than human ambi tion and enmities. When somebody aid to Canning, "we must ngnt sooner or later," he spoke like a wise man bv rettlving, "in heaven s name, then, let it be later." Yet, whatever the future keeps in store lor Europe, and however gloomy the iunerstate of Continental politics may appear to close observ ers, the clouds have passed for the t. There has. indeed, result ed rood from the war scare in BO far as it has led to the publication oi the general terms constituting an offensive and defensive alliance be tween Germany and Austria. Ihere could exist no better insurance of peace than that union, so long as it remains conservative and not ag gressive. It is a stern check to the designs of Russia, ever fretting behind the barriers ot the Berlin treaty, bitterly dissatisfied with the turn of affairs in Egypt, and plagued at home by Nihilism and by im pending financial bankruptcy. In Asia, however, tne irontier oi trie monstrous Tartar Empire comes nearer and nearer to India. and rash. indeed, would that British Govern ment be vhich )ays all its plans for domestic reforms; forgetting the for eiin necessities that may arise. The calmness of the Bourses on the con tinent proves that the muttering storm has passed, and that the air is clearing. An era of quiet and commercial activity would not only do Euroje good all around.but help to settle more than one olitical problem w nicn now appears irsugni wiih future mischief. There is no vir-ibie Reason why the state of re lose now eawtjng in the European world should not continue for a long lime, and the longer it endures the better must become the chance ol pacific solution to many a difficult auetion of international life. At all events, it is a vafit advantage that LUV WUIIU IB WHHCTNMg aw icvtfjuc tide unstained by bloodshed.

Washington, Jan. 13. Congress has yet over forty days of life remaining. The tariff bill in all its complications, together with the appropriation bills, will demand much of this brief time, while the bill for reduction of taxa tion comes limping behind. It will require vigilance, tact, and parlia mentary skill on the part of the Re publicans to secure the passage of the last named measure; but, it Air. Pendleton and his Democratic friends oould only have been as happy on this subject as they were on their civil service reform hobby horse, there would have been a bet ter prospect for the accomplishment of the desired result The Senate in its discussion on the tariff bill will probably uot reach a decision before the end of next week. On the other hand, the House Ways and Means Committee will to day submit Chairman Kel ley's report on this question. The latter report differs materially from that under consideration in the Sen ate, and in view of this early dif ference, it is pretty sale to say that the 4th of March will find Congress no nearer a solution of this import ant measure. Those who are most interested do not want any change in the tariff duties except such as will be beneficial to themselves, and they have their representatives on band to promote and guide the ac tion of Congress. The doorkeeper on the east side of the House of Representatives hall, in view of the Ways and Means Committee, can tell to a nicety what the committee is doing, by the class of visitors. Oue day the barbed wire men are on hand button holeing the mem bers as they come and go; another day the tobacco men monopolize the time and space. Then the sugar re finers arrive, followed by the tin men and the plate glass manufac turers. Yesterday the ship builders and the distillers joined the throng jer vading tho southern portion of the building, and were on the alert to torture the poor distracted members of the Ways and Means Commit tee. The whiskey men do not find their fiath one of unalloyed happiness, 'itialls abound, and although the whiskey lobby is hopeful, it is not over confident The represeKtatives from the moonshining districts do not want to wait a miuu'.e, and the shrewdest members of the whiskey interests experience great difficulty in repressing such "school boy" ex uberance. Nothing of more importance has been considered at this session oi Congress than the shipping bill, winch engaged the attention of the House for the whole week. This measure should not be acted upon without profound deliberation, and such cannot be obtained in the present limited time. The fact is apparent that those subjects which are of the least public importance receive the most public attention, and this to the detriment of more deserving legislation. The merchant marine is in such a weak state that the calm judgment and best possi ble discretion of legislators is nec essary in the treatment of this sub ject. It s to be poped that the ship: ping Dill may lenu p me accom plishment of some relief from our present status on the ocean, In face of the direct recommend atiou of the Secretary of War against the usual river and harbor bill for this year, the House Committee on Commerce has resolved to have daily meetings and proceed to the f (reparation of the customary bill, t must be that those ineuiU rs who will be unceremoniously relegated to their home? on the 4th of March, wish to take' a parting dip into this annual grab-bag; but it is also cer tain thai very .decided opposition will be shown in both nouses of Congress against opening the vaults of the treasury to appropriate mon ey for any present further improve ment of the rivers and harbors or rather, creeks and ponds of this country.

Mr. Vanderbilt's investments in Pennsylvania are assuming huge proportions. More than a vear and a half ago he began buying "Reading, and he has continued it until he stands nearly where the McCalmouts did prior to 1882. ' Until very re cently people have believed that the New " York millionaire went into Reading as a speculatiou, and to give Mr. Gowen some needed aid at the annual election of 1S81. Rich men often speculate, but they are rarely sentimental, and the truth is Mr. Vanderbilt did not invest a cent until the Reading properties had been thoroughly examined by one of the best coal and railroad experts in the country, who presumably made a favorable report For more than a year Mr. Vanderbilt' has been in creasing his interest, and his very large following in New York have done likewise, and it is believed he is still willing to make further invest ments. Meantime Mr. Vanderbilt has not been idle in other sections of the State. He is building a railroad which will give the Reading a North ern and Western outlet from Will iamspoit, and he has under way a branch from Jersey Shore to the Clearfield coal regions, where he has purchased a vast area of bituminous territory. This road may be extend ed to Johnstown, on the Pennsylva nia Railroad, to connect with the Baltimore and Ohio extension at that place. But the most important of all Mr. Vanderbilt's schemes is the South Pennsylvania, a road which will parallel the Pennsylvania from Harrisburg -to Pittsburg and Wheeling. This line will be some what shorter than the Pennsylvania, and it will traverse a region rich in agriculture and mining. Negotia tions are now going on in the inter est of Mr. Vanderbilt for the Pitta burg and Lake Erie, which line will be very valuable to him when his railroad is completed, and there are other schemes, including an exten sion from Williamsport East to the Bradford county coal regions. It will be seen that Mr. Vander-' hilt's plans are very comprehensive. His original idea, no doubt, was to build tne Pine Creek road in order to recover enough of the Western : anthracite carrying trade, which has become very important during the past ten years, to compensate him for the loss of the local business taken away by the Buffalo extension ot the Delaware and W estern Rail road. His other schemes strike at an advantage which the Pennsylva nia's large local business his always given that line. The very valuable local traffic, of the Pennsylvania has made that rond almost independent of through traffic, which the other trunk lines must depend upon.' In a railway war this great road has al ways escaped with less loss tliun.its rivals, because its main line traffic was so heavy and remunerative that a loss on through traffic could be borne with almost no serious inron venience. In the contest of 1M this made the Pennsylvania the master of the situation, and Mr. Vanderbilt does not propose to fight another such unequal battle. When the latter's new roads are completed, some two years hence, he must en croach upon the Pennsylvanian's business and rhe Western coal traffic of 'the Lehigh Valley. Jt is too early to eetiraate the e fleet which 41 r. Vanderbilt $ invasion of Pennsylvania will have on our home roads. He has proceded on a well defined theory, and be has no doubt, fully calculated the cost and the probable return. In any event he is too wise a financie to invest his money without a sure prospect that it will pay, and it may be taken for granted that all his roads will origi nate a valuable new bu.-ii.ess, though they may trespass somewhat on that of the present lines. J'hiladelphia . The Bad and Woi-thlea are never imitated or counterfeited. This is especially true of a family medicine, and it is positive proof that the remedy imitated is of the highest value. As soon as it had been tested and proved by the world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best and most valuable family med icine on earth, many imitations sprung up and began to steal the notices in which the press and peo pie of the ppuntry had expressed the merits ot II, Ii., and IP every way trying to induce suffering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make monev on the credit and good name of II. B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to II. ft., with variously devised names in tthicii the word. "Hop" or "Hops" were used fn a way ft induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitter. AU such pretended rem edies or cures, no matter what their style or name is, and esecialy those with the word "Hop ' or "Hoiks' in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imita tions or counterfeits.
