Michael Danza was wine merchant, in partnership with his elder brother, Joseph, and had s large connection in the city. The brothers Denza were good-looking men. Michael, especially so. They had Italian blood in their veins, and something of the Italian warmth of feeling in their natures. They were well off, too, without being weal thy. Michael Denza was leaning back in his O-fice chair one afternoon in November, picking his teeth with a quill A look of perplexity upon his handsoroa feature?. Notwithstanding the time of year, A yel low rosebud bloomed in his buttonhole, an i his dress was that of a man of fash ion. ( " I can't imagine," he said, as he regar ded a newly rceived telegram on the ta ble before him, " where the money goes to ! Ella is so very simple in her tastes. She scarcely ever seems to spend any money on herself, and yet this is tbe sec ond demand she has made for 30 pounds within a fortnight. I don't grudge it to her, Joseph, mind that ; bat I can't think what she does with if . " Why don't yoa ask her?" observed the practical elder brother. Joseph Den za might have been as good-looking as Michael had he not been so fat, bat he was ten years oldei- a man verging on forty, snd he was of a harder and more suspicious nature than Lis younger brother. , He had no , Joe for women, either. He bad been cruelly deceived by one of the sex in the days of his youth. Why don't yoa ask her?" he said " She won't tell you the truth, of coarse, but it may prevent such exorbitant de mands for the future." Ella never told me a lie yet," cried Michael, firing bp. "lam sure of it- She is as clear and open as the. Jay. " Clear and open !" sneered Joseph. "My dear Michael, yoa ares fool f A divorced woman, clear and open 1" " She is not a divorced woman, re turned the other, hotly. " You know that, perfectly well. Shejdivorced her first husband on account of his cruelty and infidelity to her." But where can the money go to?" " Oh," I don't care," cried Michael, im- patientlr, aa he pushed the paper awsy from him. " I wish I had never raised the question. I am not going to suspect my. wife of using it for an unlawful DurDose. She can do as she likes with it. It is all the same to me T " But that is rather a dangeioas way of tampering with fortune. If Mrs. Mi chael does not spend it, she must give it away." " But to whom could she rive it ? She has no relations dependent on her?" Can any one have hold upon her, Michael V demanded Joseph, suspicious- " What do you 'mean V " Can Ella have been so imprudent as to encouraze some young fellow far enough I aai only alluding to a flirta tion, you know toeuabolden him to ap ply to ber for money on pain of disclos ure? We have beard of such things with married ladies before, you know, you and I." Michael Denza 's face flushed with pas sion as he started from his chair with a clutched hand. "If you were not my brother, Joseph," be began, but broke oS with s harsh laugh. " What folly I am talking, and you. too." he continued. " Ella flirt ? Why, she is the quietest little woman ih the world." M Well, yes. She certainly has not got on very well !in Sydenham. I suppose this divorce business has to answer for that ?" -4 1 3uppose so," said Michael, gloomily "People will talk, if it is only to hear their own confounded tongues. I should have thought it would have died a nat oral death, long ago." " So should I. That is what makes me think there most be a fresh cause for scandal. Anvway. I should find oat where the money goes to." " I shall do no such thin '" exclaimed Michael, angrily ; but at the same time be knew that be should. He quitted the office earlier than usu al that afternoon. He entered a smoking compartment of the train, as usual at Lon don bridge, ane, laying bis bead back on the cushions, tried to compose himself to sleep. But the chatter of two young men in the same carriage arrested bis atten tion Thev were discoasing some wo man, after the manner of their kind. -She's awfully jolly," said one of them "Just my style, you know tall and slim. with eray eyes and brown hair. Quiet little woman to look at, butltnowsa deal, my boy." Married, Dick, eb 7 " Married ! I shoald.think so. I don.t care hang for them till they're married. No bread-and-butter misses for me," con tinued the creature, who had not a hair j opon hi. bet. I like .woman with tome OCTOBER 9, 1889 snap about her, aad who knows a thing or two." Michael Denza listened to thejbalder- dash with a fast beating putfie. It recall, ed so painfully the unpleasant conversa tion be held with his brother Joseph. He took a hatred to the speaker, although he had never looked at him before, and the instant his train reached the Syden ham station he leaped out and walked rapidly to bis own house. His first in quiry was for the mUtreas of it. Tbe servant replied that she was out. "Out at this time?" he said, with a frown, as be consulted his watch. "Why, it is nearly dark. Are the children with her?" No, sir ; they are in the nursery; My mitrew wouldn't take them out to-day. She said it was too cold." Michael Denza began to pace tbe room in a fury. Ho was naturally pass onate and jealous, like the race he sprang from, bat he had never had his feelings roused in a like manner before. The words he had exchanged with his broth er Joseph, and those he had listened to in the train, all seemed to rush back to his mind like so many flashes of electric light to disperse the mist which had blinded him perhaps to his own dis honor. In a moment the twin demonr- doubt and suspicion caught hold of him and worked him up into a state border ing on madness. Was it possible, he asked himself, that the words of that vain-glorious, blatant fool in the railway carriage pointed to his wife ? He had always believed his wife to have been a most injured woman, but the devil of doubt bad been raised in his breast, and be was ready to believe the fvery worst. And if, s be said to himself with clench ed teeth, his brother's suspicions proved to be cOi-rect, and he found that Ella had deceived him, there would be murder in that house before tbe night was over, lie had been pacing the floor of the din'mg room for perhaps a couple of hours be fore bis wife's step sounded in the hall. She came ia hurriedly and nervously ; and. when she heard tbut her husband had returned home, it seemed that her voice indicated more than surprise. Already!" she exclaimed, fkltering- ly ; surely it is not 7 yet ! Where is he ; in the dining-room ?" She opened the door then and stood oa the threshold, a lovely picture by the firelight, in ber velvet and furs. " What has brought you home so soon Michael T" she inquired. " Have I arrived too early for your convenience, Mrs. Denza?" he answered, in a strange tone. " Have I cut your en gagements short ?" I don't understand you," she said, closing the door and advancing toward him, but be could hear that her voice trembled. "Then I will explain myself. Where have you been ? Who do yoa come from ?" Mrs. Denza flushed scarlet She was a pale woman by nature, but now ber eyes tilled with tears under the pain of her burning complexion.' " Why should you speak to me like that?" she half whispered ; "why do you want to know where I bare been?" Her evident timidity looked so like guilt that Michael Denza felt sure that bis doubts would prove to be realities. " Because I suspect your errand, Ella more, I know it, and I am resolved to hear the truth." , " Oh, God !" she cried, involuntarily, and there stopped. Her husband stalked up to her and grasped her writt. " I married you because I thought you were a true woman, and would stick !i me," he said, and till this day I never suspected you of double dealing.

"My God ! and yoa can own it What is bis name V She hesitaed, And he returned to the attack. "Give tne his name, or I will strike you to the ground." But a sudden courage seemed to have come to Mrs. Denza's aid. She drew up her stight figure toils full height,and looked her husband straight in the eye. "Strike me if yoa will," she answered, "and you will learn nothing. But be patient, and I will take yoa to him. Then yoa can revenge yourself upon him as yoa will." "Yoa will take me to him !" he stam mered. "I will take yoa to him," she repeated. "But come at once, or it may be too late.' She tan swiftly from the house as she spoke, and Michael Denza, clapping his hat upon his head, followed ber as in a dream. He could not believe it possible she would introduce him to the very presence of her lover. Mrs. Denza walk ed quickty down several streets, sfcitilshe reached a poorer quarter of the town, formed of small bouses. Knocking qui etly at the door of one of these, she mere ly said to the landlady : "I wish to go np-atairs tgtin." I nen to ner nusoauu, "follow me," and in another minute they had ascended the narrow staircase togeth er and entered a bed-chamber. Mrs. Denza seemed strangely altered. Hor ntprt had irrown majestic, and her manner almost defiant, as she advanced to the bedside, ad, palling down itho Hera sheet, disclosed the pallid face of an at tenuated corpse. There," she exclaimed proudly, as she turned to Michael, "there is the man I came from." "Dead!" he saiJ, falung backwara yoo are fooling me, Ella.

"That is the corpse of the man who beat and insulted me, unt.l for my own safety I was compelled to separate from him.

That has been all my fault I leave yoa to judge whether I deserve the imputation you have put upon my absence." She passed proudly down the stairs agais as she spoke, but Micbeal Dtnza had caught her before she opened the hall door. "Ella, forgive me, he wbipered. I was mad. I don't know what pouicjwd me, but evil thoughts had been put into my head, and the idea of losing your con fidence aod affection was unbearable." "And was it all about money?' she said, "was it because I never accounted for bow I had spent the Ia.t checks?" "I am afraid it was," he answered with a shamed look. Florence ilarrynt. The Castle of the Douglases. But now, aa we turn our back on the Ease, another ruined castle, grander and far more massive and lolly than Dirle ton, nils the eye. On a lofty, jagged cliff, that seems to run out into the sea, and is washed on three sides by its waters, st anils the far-&tuved castle of TanUllon. Sir Walter's description of it in'Mar mion," if not in the highest style of poet ry, is a wonderful! correct word-picture. The origin of Tantallon Castle, the re nowned stronghold of the Douglases, is unknown. For centuries it was the great citadel of the family on the east of Scot land. Its situation was so remarkable, the structure so strong, and the means of defence so skilful, that it seemed to defy military attack. In 1S49, the barony of North Berwick and the eastle of Tan tallon having been forfeited some time before by the Earl of Douglas, were given by James IV. to the Earl of Angus, the famous "Bell-the-Cat" of Scotish history, who figures in "Marmion" as the lord of the place. In the days of the next earl the castle stood a siege by King James bnt the king was unable to take it. In lsa9, however, it was taken by the Covenanters ; thereafter Cromwell's troop besieged it, and after a feeble defence it was taken again. About a hundred and fifty years ago the castle became the property of Sir Hew Dalrymple, Lord Presidentof tne Court of Session, in whose family it still remains. Harper 't Hayi ziue. Malaria Literally means bad air. Poisonous germs arisiog from low, marshy land, or from decaying vegetable matter, are breathed into the lungs, taken np by the blood, and unless the vital fluid is purified by the use of a good medicine like Hjod's Sarsaparilla, the unfortunate victim is soon overpowered. Even in the more advanced casep, where the terrible fever prevails, this successful medicine has ef fected remarkable cures. Those who are exposed to malarial oi ether poisocs should keep the blood pure by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla. A middle-aged woman who had just slipped into a seat in a street car, made vacant for her by a gentleman, having neglected to thank him, was aked by her little daughter, who was with her, why she had not done so.

" Oh ! 1 see how it is," remarked the little one, quite audibly, " the gentlemen stand anyway, without tbe ttrtu.ony."' ShortJWork of a Troublesome Case.

CiJgood, of Codington, Pa., caunht a twenty pound snapping turtle at Lake Henry. It was a fire peci men, and BiJgood lugged it bone and put it into a swill-barrel, intending to fatten it Ihere lor thtv or four weeks and then tate it to Scranton and offer it for sale. The turtle thrived in tie barrel of loppered milk and refuse fron the ta ble, and it seemed to be perfectly con tented in its new home. Between two and three o'clock on the morning of July 20, Bidgood was aronsed from a sound sleep by a great ra- ket near his milk house, and he pulled on his trouwrs and boots and ran out to see what was up. The moon had wi.en at about midnight, and as the eky was clear the moon's mellow light enabled I'.iilgood to take in the situation at a glan . What Bidg.l saw both surpri.ie.1 and amused him, be said, for he had never Mritneed anything at all like it in his life. A OW) -pound bear with the tu-tle cling ing to his nose was prancing ar jund tne yard and snorting as though he was in great pain. The bear ran up to the fence and tried to climb over it the laomeut it raw Bu'gooil, but the turtle got between its foreleg, and the bear bellowed, turn ed its back toward the fvnee, tit op on its hind quarters, and tried to break the turtle's hold by pawing vigorously at the turtle's thick shell with both paws. But the turtle's sharp teeth were so firmly set in the l-car's nose that geUing them loose in that way was out of the qa stion, and then the bear ran over to the other side of the yard and made an effort to mount the fenee. The turtle's shell g )t between the boards and pulled the bear's head down and the enraged brute gave a yell and roiled over on the grass, throwing the turtle this way and thatA it tumbled and bellowed. The gripof the turtle got tighter and tighter all the time, and the harder the bear worked to loosen his grip the more pain he had to-ndure. By this time B'uigoo.1 had iot bis rifle and was ready to give the ler a bullet of 42 -calibre in the bend, bet the rage of the brute manifested ia its failure to re lease its wonderful nose was such an unique sort of entertainment that Eid good concluded to let the be r work bis tactics for a few minutes more. The next thing the bear lid was to turn its head as far toward it rear as it could and scratch at the turtle with its hin l foot, but that didn't work any bet ter, and then it stepped on the turtle and undertook to throw it over iU head, bel lowing loudly and butting against the fence when the turtle wou;dat let go. After that, BiJgood said, he r ished at the bear with his gun uplifted and yelled at the top of his voice, and the frightened beast made a furious dash at the fence and succeeded in climbing over, the tur tle still clinging to its nowe. Hid good said that he thonght the fun had gon fr enough and he leaped the fence aod fired a bullet into the bear's head at the butt of hia left ear. The bear keeled over and died, and BiJgood cut a piece of the tear's snout off and let the turtle keen it as long as he wanted to. It kept the piece of snout between its jaws for twelve hours, when it got hungry and ejected iL Bidgood fattened the turtle and then took it to Scranton and sold it for six dollars. Making a Hog Happy. We were sittinz in frort of Taylor's grocery on a summer day, when a big black hog came nos.ng along the gutter and started A new train of thonght In the crowd of loungers was a man from St. Louis and, after watrhirg the porker for awhile, be remarked; "I wonder if that hog ever had a real good time in all his li.'e." "Hogs alius have a good time, I gaps"," remarked the village cooper, who had knocked off work and ccme over to hear some politic. "I doubt it " ?aid the other. "He mast feel his degraded position in life, and so he cannot be happy. I wish I could do something to make him fed that life ia worth the livir.if." "Fust man I ever saw who pit.eil a hog !" grunted the b'acssraith, who ought to have been tacking a shoe n a wAiting mule. "Yes. I do pitr him. I have been down myself an 1 know hew it is.

"If you have two rjusrts of cherries wh ch have been in liquor, bring Vm out, and I'll give you half a dollar. I'm go in to make that hog harry for two houra." The grocer got the cherries, which had been lying in liquor for awupleof years, snd the St. Louis man por.red them out into the gutter for the hj. They were devoured with aaton;sbinr avidity, and the porker stood and looked at us and hungered for more. It was doubted by some if the liquor would affect him, but after a few minutes he beran to frisk and play, and was evidently under the infla-en-e. "That does me good," mid the donor of the cherries. "He is booming light hearted, and life will now take on new charms to him. il.tn a man who won't give a hog a show Just then the animal uttered a hoarse "Toof," and charged for the crowd.

He then headed for a horse and bngzy in front of Snider', crashed against the horse's hind leg", and in another mo ment there was a runaway. The widow Walk ins was sailing along with a can of kerosene in her4iand, an J the hog rolled ber off tbe walk as if she bad been struck by a locomotive. He then charged a double team and started them off, drove into Gaylor's dry good store and out, and the old wan Subin turned in from Elm street just in time to be lifted three feet high and rolled into a puddle. Fifty men were out and after the pork er by this time, bet he started another runaway, upset a baby carriage, and knocked the register of tieedsoll bis pins before we cornered him and got a rope around a hind leg.

It is not eiwentUl that we wear onr selves out keeping to the conventional routine of a traditional svstem rfhotw ke?ping. Sweeo on Friilay though the heavens fall ! Polish up the silver every weekland lay it back ia its dreary iie uetude. Windows cleaned one a week, though the trump of doom be sounding '. Floors waxed and all the observan.-e that pertain to a cut and dried custom -maintained, at the expense of grsy ha;:s and wrinkles. We are mastered by the non-essentials of work, while the essen tials are ignored or forgotten. It is es sential that we have nutritious and weil encked food. We can do without pies if the bread be good, and we can dispense with the waiter girl at the ta ble, and sonie of the non-essentials of dainty and elegint service, if we are sure that things are well cooked and clean. Neatness combined with w liolesonienesw, and order is heaven's essential law, but show is a tyrant non-essential that lays its heavy yok upon too many of us. It is essential that our drains be kept clean and,that our plumbing be in gixxi repair, and yet how many a housekeep er will strictly enforce the window po ishirigand the silver rubbing business, while her kitchen is full of the tierfuaie of an uncleanly drain, or the defectum plumbing upstairs turns her bednxmw, for all their embroiJered shams and cost ly ornamentation, into veritable gate ways to death !

I would wt.i-r be a burr on a burdock bush, than dw;l in the best kept home thai any careful Mirtha ever presided over if that borne were ruled by the arbitrary non-essen tials of cast-iron rule and superficial and ostentatious show. It is not essential that hounei leaning time should be a loruste or tiie uau place; that the foundations of the solid earth should be rent up by the roots; that red-armed daughters of Erin should descend upon us and toss us on a soapy sea over the rapids of household anarchy and despair. It is essential, though. that week by week and month by month, we keep the home wholesome and sweet with plenty of air and sun, and that, aa nature does, we apply the law ofavera-e, so that we need no periodic upheaval of the central forces once a year to cleanse us. Burn up the rubbish as we go along, or give away what can be of service. Keep no lumbering trunks and dark closets filled with non-essentials to be repacked and sorted over twice a year. It is not essential that our hospitality become our hardest task-masJer, and that to entertain our friends, and keep np to the social standard about us, we kill joy and murder peace. If the friend whom we expect, is coming merely to be fed and entertained, it would be as well for him, and better for us, if we pay his board at a first-class hotel. It is essential that we teach our children that the first grace of hospitality is its sincerity, and that to be honest and sincere over a Jry cracker, is better than to be a hypocrite and a sycophant over a roasted ox with a dressing of fine herbs. Fussy disp!y and overdone pomposity are the non essentials that make the finest feast a burden, and the most polished host a titne-server. Amir.
