Arthur Melford was a splen did type of physical beauty tall and symmetrical, fond of manly Bnorta, hating books. On tho other hand, Captain Landon was fair and ed'emi- d ate, rather lazy, aud a Uevoted stu dent of light literature. "Landon." said Melford. "how the deuce can you pnss so much turn over those novels 7 1 never read a bouk in my life. I never-read . anything but the sporting jiapors." Captain Landon, lying under the tree, yawned and closed his volume. "I don't know," he said. "I can't see what pleasure you find hi swinging your dumb-bells; taking your long walks, boxing your sand-bags, and all that sort of fatiguing exercises," "liumphl It is manly, and readme; is not at least, it docs not seem so to me. I suppose you never had a bout at fisticuffs in your life," said Melford. "rieverl You are quite right! "Then,'' said a silvery yoice behind them, "what would you do, Captain Landon, if a ruffian were to attack your - Mies Kate Croydon", Arthur's beau tiful cousin, appeared suddenly. "Well, sighed the captain, with a hopeless smile, "I fancy I should in fact run." "Rim!" ".Why notT Would you have me stand and be beaten? You know what they say discretion is." "It is cowardice 1" said Miss Croy doa, her eyes flashing. "I dare say' assented the captain, rather sadly. Miss Croydon had many admirers, but none more, sincere than these two. One was aa old friend she bad al most crown up with the captain and the other was, in some roundabut way, her cousin ; but tho latter was the one I think, whoso sentiments were the more warmly reciprocated. There was a little pauso, and tho subject changed. "Uave you seen my amiable papa this morning, Kate? asked Arthur "Yes ; he has just left his room." - "I shall try him again to-day, Yould you believe, he refused to listen to me last night when 1 asked him for money ! Ordered me out of the room, by Jove I , ''J What a shamel" said Miss Croy don, sympathetically. "Fact, upon my word. Said I would break a bank in a year"; and that I ceuld only learn the value of money by earning some. I asked him what I was fit for. 'Egad,' he answered, 'that's a conundrum no one will ever answer 1' Such low wit the old skin flint!" "A perfect shame !" "He further remarked that, as I had expended large sums in betting on sporting matters, I might do well to open a sparring academy, or bring my self before the publio as a new candt date for the honors of the prize-ring." "What cruel sarcasm 1" f "Well, I shall go to him once more, and if he refuses again, the consequen ces will be on his head ! The truth is, I am in an awful fix, and must have money at any risk. Ilulloa ! there he is now." Poor old Mr. Melford, aiad invalid, now, made his appearance in his wheeling-chair on the broad piazza. His afl'ectronate sou, with a rather lowering smile, left his friends under the tree, and niarcherl, with the firm tread of a gladiator, toward the house. . Kate Croydon looked after him in silence. "What aplondid figure he hasl" she sighed, "And so, Captain Landon, you would run from a ruffian T Idou't think Arthur would. I don't think bo would do anything unmanly or mean." "I hope not," said the captain ; "but I don't consider it mean to save one's self from a beating on the con trary, common sense would suggest no other course. However, I shan't ar gue the point. For myself, I only claim that in an emergency I should try to act with discretion. Remem ber, Miss Kate." Two or three hours later, it was well understood that Arthur Melford had not succeeded in procuring the money he wished. He was in the billiard-room fiercely knocking the balls about and drinking, perhaps rather freely, of brandy aud water. "Wouldn't give or lend me a pon ny," lie said, poking viciously at one of the red spheres, "Drove me joat with a curse, the vile-tempered parent I Look hero, Laudon do you know I could have a jolly revenge if I were so disposed T" Melford laughed somewhat savagely. Captain Landon replied, in his' cool, quiet fashion : "Revenge seldom pays. Wait a lit tle; I think your father will yield." "Rut I can't wait, I tell you. I must havu the money at once, or I'm done for. It's a debt of honor, and I'd sooner die than let it go unpaid or re main an hour overdue, les, I could have a glorious revenge, old fellow. You knojnr, I suppose, who lives in the little cottage ou the north side of this place that little crib just at the edgo of Dickely Wiod?" ., "Uid Alec Koakcs and horidiotson. 1 believe," said Landon, chalking his cue very carelessly. "Ay, the old gypsy and her idiot son lite there, 6ure enough," contin ued Meltord, Hushed, and with an evil caution in his face, as ho glanced around and epoke low. "Tho follow is kept shut up there night and day, anij there's a secret about it all, Lan don do you know that, too?" "I have heard that your father struck the boy in a fit of pnssion, knocking him sonsolees, and that when he came to, he was imbecile, and has so regained ever since. But thia is no business ot nunc, Mellord, and i don't care to discuss it" "Joe Roakes the fellow's name is," continued the other, drinking more of tho itimelant, "What" would you think if I were to tell you that fellow that idiot Joe Roakes was my half-brother?" "It Js not true ?" said Landon, startled. "I swear to heaven it is I found it all out long ago, through tho servants first, the neighbors next, and, at length, from old Meg herself. A hiut was enough for me, and I never rested till I had learned every circumstance." Landon was shoVked, He remem bered having seen the idiot's face once at the window, darker of color than Arthur Melford's, but strikingly like his in every feature. Some whispers of the scandal just rehearsed had also more than once reached him, only, however, to be put by as malicious romance. But now he could doubt no, longer. "Joe Roakes used to come here and get money ; but be was on his way to the bad, and the supplies were stop ped. Then followed taunts, and one day hn open insult. Tho parter has a temper, you know, and down went Joseph never to rise with the gift of reason again. Melancholy narrative, isn't it?" "It really is melancholy, Arthur, an3 your levity is unbecoming." The fellow was secured and im prisoned, from that time, in the 'cot tage where he now is ; but he has twice made bis escape, and both times ho came here. Hia errand was not one of peace, for he sought out the author of hfe boing, and also ef his ruin, with the keen scent of a bloodhound, and--and in fact, the wheeling-chair explains a good deal of the rest." "I understand, Melford," reioined Landon. 'Tray, let ns talk no more of i such ' miserable business. Have you scored ?" "Oh, hang the billiards 1 I'm not in the mood. As I said before, I could have a very clever revenge, if I " "If you dared," added Captain Landon. sternly. ' , "Then yo'J think I am afraid ! You are wrong I'm not afraid of any thing, by Jovel I could free that boy, anjftjie would come here; and fancy thcsensation his appearance would create." "You are iestintr, I suppose." "Am I, indeed? Truth is, I -am half mud. Here s an old man, Landon hirtmcans of enjoyment, if possible, lese rolling in money 1 He actually kfrAi a lot of it in his. room to look at aifcount up and gloat over. Now, hflie am I a young man, wants nu merous capacity for enjoyment illim itable ana yet I haven't a penny. Upon my honor, my head turns when I think of ic. I really must go and have a turn with the clubs te get my self into some degree of calmness again." He strode away in mighty wrath. His companion pushed the balls about musingly for some time after. He was evidently thinking of Arthur Melford's threat. At dinner Arthur did not make his appearance. Captain Landon found a note in his room. "Deae Landon I have gone up to town, to see what can be done about that debt. Return to-morrow. A. M." It was to the captain a rather pleas ant evening; to peoplo of more ex acting taste, it might have appoared dull enough. But he had the oppor tunity for onco of being alone with Mies Croydon. A lovelier night one could not wish ; and they sat lato on tho piazza, talking perhaps flirting. It was nearly midnight when they took candles from the hall-table and scaled the wide, oaken staircase. At the top of the first flight the lady paused. "And now good-night, Monsieur Discretion," she said, with merry sar casm. ''I hope so prudent a hero may rest well." "Thank you, Miss Kate," ho laughed. .Suddenly there was a quick, sharp cry from the direction of old Mr. Mol fordts room, then n struggle, and then a heavy lall.,- "Somcthing " has happened let lis see what It is 1" exclaimed lha ltfdy, turning pale. Landon also became pallid as death. He could net stir. "Don't stand staring, Captain Lan don I" she cried, wildly. "Perhaps Mr. Melford has fallen in a fit, I will go, if you will not." She advanced : but Landon recov ered himself, and passed in front of her. The door of the room opened, and a stalwart man in a red shirt came forth, livid and trembling. His face could barely be made out in the dim iicht. "Joe Roakes 1" gasped Landon. He sprang upon the man, but at the same instant released him and fell back. Miss Crovdon had planned into the room. Old Mr. Melford lay prostrate and unconscious upon tke floor near the door, "beize that villain, sir! she cried, pointing to the intruder. "lie is a murderer! Laudon did not stir. "Coward miserable coward 1" she said. "It would be a useless struggle," re plied Landon, iu a low voice, and much abashed. "He is more power ful than I; my strength would go for nothing against his." He stood out of the way, and the miscreant sped by him quickly, and disappeared Jfcwn the stairway. ' The servants were called up, and poor old Mr. Melford put to bed at.d physicians sent for; but they said he would never recover his siecch and senses and Xhey wore right. He lingered for a few doys, and then died. His son Arthur was ill in tho city when the news was brought from the homestead that his money-troubles were over, and he was a millionaire; Captain Landon, who had left' on the morning after the outrage, now re turned, Arthur in his company. The captain asked five minutes' audience alone with Miss Croydon ; but she de clined to see him. fche sent him note, sarcastic, cruel, almost unwoman ly ; but then, she reflected, what could be too severe torso abject and oontemp tible a coward I Captain Landon's regiment was Bent Soon afterward to the West. One day there was a battle with the Sioux, Captain Landon's company was sur rounded by three times its number, and perished ns tho Light Brigade pencilled nt Ualaklava. All over the land his name was spoken with a thrill of pride such as throbs in every true heart when a hero' dies pride and pity. The news came to Kate Croydon now Kato Melford at the homestead, as her husband lay dying, alas! not heroically, in 4he dismal room where his father was stricken down. Arthur Melford's money bad been his ruin a short life and merry and now the merriment was over forever. ' Kate read the news from the West to her husband. ' ' "Where did ho loara his courasre?" she said, with the old sarcasm. "Per haps this is only a newspaper romance, alter all. - "No, Kato," said Arthur Melford, from his bed of pain ; "Landon was always a hero strong in moral conr ncce, not mere brute prowess," And then, with many a gasp and Blgh, he told his secret. 'That man who entered this house on the night of my father's death-blow came in quest of monoy money to pay his debts of honor. He thought It more honorable to steal (itul mur der, if necessary) than to owe what he bad lost at cards. He demanded money, and it was refused ; there was a struggle ; the result of that you know. The robber cams out of the room. You will recall how he was seized by Landon ia your presence Landon supposed ic to be joe Roakes; but the next moment learned the truth Kate the robber was I !" "You I" "Yes; and to spare mo, to spare you, Landon martyred himself play ed the coward. Kate, he was armed, his right hand was upon a pistol; with all my strength, I was nt his nierey he could have shot me there like a dog. But, my girl, in thoso few tre mendous seconds he still had discre tion, and ho weighed the consequences. Rather than expose me, he acted the poltroon. He permitted me to go, and till this hour no one but ho and I has ever known the truth. , Vain tears! She knew ho had loved her dearly, and what had she done? Had she chosen tho hero, after all?" Arthur Melford lingered but a few days after-telling his Bccret, and then Kate was a widow. Her wealth drew arouud her many suitors each hod some excclltMit quality of his own which is not only the better part of valor, but of many things besides: and so she never married a second time. THE PINT OF ALE. John Ross Dix relates an anccdolo illustrative of tho elements of easo and comfort which workhigmen are apt to cast thoughtlessly away, and of the many helps to independence which they neglect. A Manchester calico printer was. on - his wedding day, asked by his wifo to allow her two half-pints of ale a day as her share of "extra comforts." lie mndo the bargain, but not cheerfully, for, though a drinker himself (fancy ing, no doubt, that ho could not well do without), he would have preferred a perfectly sober wife. - They both worked bard. John loved his wife, but he could not break away from the old associations of the alo house, and when not in the factory or nthis meals ho was with his boon companions. His wifo made the small allowance meet hC housekeeping expenses, keep-' ing her cot neat and tidy, and ho could not complain that she insisted upon her daily pint of ale, while he, very likely, drank two or three quarts. Once in a while the wife succeeded, by gentle, loving artifice, in drawing her husband home an hour or two earlier than usual, and very rarely she per suaded him to spend a whole evening in her company. They had been married a year, and on tho morning of their wedding an niversary John looked with real pride upon the neat and comely person of his wife, and, with a touch of remorso in his look and tone, he said: "Mary, we'n had no. holiday sin we we were wed, an' only that I haven't a penfly i' th world we'd take a jaunt to th' village to see the mithor." ' - "Would'st like to go, John?" she asked. There was a tear with her smile, for it touched her heart to hear him speak tenderly, as in the old times. "If thee'd like to go, John, I'll stand treat." "Thou stand treat, Mary t ITast got a fortun' left thee?" "Nay, but I'm gotten the pint of ale," said she. "Gotten what, wife?" "The pint o' ale," she repeated.. And thereupon she went to the hearth and from beneath one of the stone flags drew forth a stocking, from which sho poured out upon the tablo the sura of 3G5 (hreepences 4, lis,, 3d, exclaiming: "See, John, thee can havo the holi day," "W bat is thisr he asked in a mart). "It's my daily pint o' ale, John." Ho was conscience-stricken as well as charmed. "Mary, nasn t thee baa thy sharer Then I'll ha' no more fro' this day." And he was as good as bis word. They had their holiday with the old mother; and Mary's little capital, saved from the "pints o' alo," was tho seed from which, as the years rolled on, grew shop, factory, warehouse, country seat and carriago, with health happi ness, peace, honor and renown. WASIIINU NOT TAKEN IN. A good old minister of one of our New England Baptist churches was agreeably surprised by the intolligenco from one of his flock that five indi viduals had expressed strong desire on next Sundav to have the .banlismal rite performed upon themselves. Alter lis performance, however, no was somewhat surprised and chagrined that only one of the five joined the society of which he was pastor. A few Sundays after the same elder waited on him with the intelligence that ten more desired immersion. "And how many of thom will join the society ?" queried the minister. "Two, I regrot to say, are all we can depend on," was the reply. "Very well," said the good old saan, "you may as will inform the other eight that this church doesu't take ia washing." 0 A prisoner at the dotroit police court called an acquaintance the oth er day to swear to his general good reputation, and when the man had ta ken tho stand he asked : "Are you acquainted with tho pris oner's reputation?" "Yos, Bir." "And do you swear that it is good ? "No, I can't," replied the man after a moment's thought. "I won't swoar to the reputation of any man who sits in his house and blows a brass horn all day and half the night." And he stepped down, "May I leave a few tracts?" asked a medical missionary of a lady who re sponded to his knock. "Leave some tracks? Certainly you may," said sho, looking at him most beniguly over her specs. "Leavo tlvem with the heels to ward tho house, if you please."
