One thing after another disap peared into the capacious sack, all her hric-a-brc, litile ornn.ents,bits of virtu, and last of all, her mother's watch. 'Ob.if he had only left that." cried Miss Glynn to herself, '"but, shaking her list behind bis back) I will be even with you yet.''

And Misa Glynn ?

And I know that story ia true, for Miss Glynn was my aunt. And the burglar? Oh, he added another six years dissipation at Sing Sing to his for mer list of "References." A Beautiral Rlow. " One day in 1S67," says Mr. Ed Johnson of the Boston Ideals, "I was standing in front of the old Lo gan House at Altoona, Pa., admiring a subperb-Iooking man who was pacing up and down the walk, medi tating, presumably, as the rest ol us were, on the length of minutes when one is waiting for a delayed train. Prtsently a big, broad-shouldered moulder, who seemed to recognize the supeib gentleman, shambled up rear him and muttered something which was evidently intended to of fend him. The puperb gentleman, however, paid no more attention to it than to look rather sharply at the moulder and pass on. Soon the moulder repealed the performanae, with about the same result, and tbe lookers on began to wonder what it all meant. By and by the moulder, evidently taking the superb gentle man's indifference to him for cow ardice, stopped Fquarely before him and said something which would jtleman looked at the back of his hantl with an expression of disgust, as if condemning the hand for what it had done, and then resumed bis promenade as if nothing had hap pened.

Dialing Mr. Garrett's kte visit to Europe he purchased iu Paris and London unique designs in bric-abrac ar,d decorations. It it said he paid i 11,500 a pair for curtains lor the li- briry and parlor, and far carpets almost phenomenal prices. The furniture and decorations for the parlor and bed-rooms are of the most ! original pattern, luxuriously gilded the lobby, where the tiling is most beautiful. The walls are white-coated ' in . imitation of basket-work, with here and there a nower oi hum aim- pie variety intended to relieve the monotonous interlacing ot straws. The ceiling of the inaiu hallway is made in cherry panels of octagonal shape, extending back to the grand spiral stairway, also finished in cher ry with ebony trimmings. Over looking the area is an atlas-shaped, skylight made of cathedral stained glass in delicate tints, all blended in ibe most perfect harmony. The must extravagantly finished apartment ia the ballroom adjoining the East parlor. In it are little niches for statuary, and at regular ioiervals massive columns support a ceiling elaborately wwrked in plas ter and then bronzed. The flooring ia of polished mahoganr, while the walla, except the lower portion. ble, are snowy while. The conser- Jvalory, immediately in the rear, u ! already filled with plants and shrub- bery, and spaces have been reserved for Mr. Garrett's floe collection of orchids. Majestic chandeliers and electric jets in tinted globes, by special contrivance made to shed soft, luminous rays, are plentifully scattered throughout the house. The most striking adornments of all the apartments are the aulique mantels, selected by Mr. Garrett while abroad. They are nearly all made of mahog any, upon which are carved charac ters of the Mediijevaldays. The one in the library is perhaps the oldest Its shelf is supported on either side by a girl child frowning nnder her heavy load. Above the shelf the epan is occupied by a large panel bearing this inscription: "A little place called Paradise." Overhead is a brass net work, with spearheads for a boarder. Bath pools are conveniently placed on the upper floors, with sides of Tennessee marble aud nickle plated liuing, and furnished with water through solid brass pipes and gold plated fixtures. Down on the base ment floor are Mr. Garrett's private offices, laundry drying-room, with nickle-plated boiler, and water fixt ure?, pantries, coal and wood cellars, and other necessary apartments. Th top floor, with iu large, airy rooms anil bath, will used by a chief and his corps of assistants, a well as by the other domestics, number ing fifteen. Many of the ideas used in the construction of the building were those ol Mr. Garrett, whose fine taste is well known here.

It was within three minutes of the hour for the opening of the meeting ,'hen Brother Gardner received a message to tbe effect that his wife was in a fit. He left for home in a manner neither too dignified nor too hasty, and the meeting was called to order by Sir Isaac Walpole, who said : " Whilst de President hez our sym pathy in dis dark hour, aa a matter ob co'se, yet de bizness ob de kentry mus' not suffer bekase one ole black woman done goes an' hex er fit.

A communication from the Mayor of Buffalo made inquiry if a person calling himself Prof. C. A.

Dr. Holbrook. in his Februarv number of the Hera.d of Health, aavs there is one feature of the mem- orv which has not before been con sidered, and that at its exaltation in Borne forms of disease. An exaltation is where a multi tude of recollections spring up in voluntarily on every hand. It has its cause in an increase of the circu lation of the brain. It frequently appears in acute diseases, especially fevers. It ia common in maniacal patients, and it sometimes appears .. ft....... r .j : u ibuio ui uvsicua- buu iu mc early stages of brain disease. The loss of memory in the ased is a familiar example, and can ouly be accounted for oy a deterioration of the brain elements and adiminution ot blood supplied to them. One of the worst features of such cases is the fact that an old person is net, for a long lime after decay has be gun, aware of it. I am now treating a case of loss of memory in a per son advanced in years, who did not know that his memory had failed moat remarkably till I told him of it. He is making vigorous tffori to bring it back again, and with partia1 success. The method pursued is to spend two hours daily, one in the morning and one in the evening, in exercis ing this facnlty. Tbe patient is in structed to give the closest attention to all that he learns, so that it shall be impressed on the mind clearly. He is asked to recall every evening all the facts and experiences of the day, and again the next morning. Every name heard is written down and impressed on his mind clearly, and an effort made to recall it at in tervals. Ten names from among public men are ordered to be com mitted to memory every week. A verse of poetry is to be learned, also a verse from the Bible, daily. He is asked to remember the number of the page in any book where any in teresting fact is recorded. These and other methods are slowly resus citating a failing memory. The aged should all look to this danger in their lives, and resolve to combat it from the very first. By so doing they will make their de clining years more enjoyable, ard give much greater pleasure to their friends. Unceasing self culture, es pecially in preserving the memory and intellectual (acuities, should constitute a considerable part of the life of every aged person, even more than of the young. Only by it can this period of life be rendered pleas ant and profitable. Tbe City of SDaagbal Tbe conservatism of the Chinese character and the extreraest point of provincialism are instanced in the story told of the residents within the walls of their native city of Shanghai. Tbe city has three gates, the north, south, and west ones, and many of the people living at the south gate have never been as far as the north gate and could not under stand the dialect of the inhabitants if they did go there. One nation culd not differ more from another than the Chinese from the Japanese if they lived twenty thousand miles apart instead of only two hundred miles, and one is all wrong if he thinks that having seen Japanese cities he can know what a Chinese one will be like. While the Japa nese are the cleanest people on the face of the earth, aud far ahead of tbe Engiish for eternily bathing and scrubbing themselves, the Chinese are ine very ainiest. id trim, ex quisite little toy house of the Japa nese along wide streets are the great est contrast to the filthy abodes of the Chinese with their dirt rioors. mud and bamboo-woven walls and streets often less than five feet wide from wall tn wall. Overhead ia a forest of gilt letters, gorgeously col ored signs and banners that fairly hide the sky. The narrow streets, with abop fronts all open above a low counter, seem like passages in some fantastic exhibition hall with booths or "spaces" close together. Mere crevices in the walls corre spond to alleys, and looking np them or down the tunnel of a street before oue, it is easy to realize what is meant by "swarms of people or "masses of hnman beings."
