"Mr. Willard, if you have a few momenta leisuie this morning I Lave something ot great importance I wish to communicate." The speaker, Edward Martin, was a young man of marked ability, and had been lor some time enir-loyed as confidential clerk in the house of Willard & Co. "Why, Edward!" exclaimed Mr. Wil lard in surprise, "what is the matter? You have been weeping." "I have, and not without cause !" an swered the young man. "But I am now prepared for the worst! I expect to lose jour confidence, perhaps I shall be sent to prison, and bo. forever disgraced ! But I cannot live with this weight upon niy con science, l'ou have been too kind." Mr. Willard fixed his gaze upon Edward, and for 6ome time remained silent. At length he exclaimed : 'Tou have not betrayed my confidence ? Surely my kindness has not been unappreci ated?" "Yes; but oh! I was mad ! I must have been a maniac, or I never could have robbed ooe k good !" Robbed r echoed Mr. Willard. "Yes!" cried Edward, falling on his Inees before him. "But, oh, pity me ! Not lor myself, 1 would not murmur at the sharpest torture, but lay mother, it will kill her should she learn her son has become a gambler and a thief 1" "You have become a gambler you have robbed me and you ask for pity?" '"Not for tnylf, but for that mother who like a guardian angel watched me in my in fact years, and as I grew to manhood, wept and buped, ana prayed.

"Edward 1" cried Mr. Willard, "you are truly penitent, and I forgive you. Your crime has been great, but you have my sym pathy and love. But to guard you from future danger you shall hear my story." A bey of sixteen I came to this great city. I readily procured employment, and at the age of twenty-two I held the respon sible position you now occupy. But my companions were my ruin. First T was in duced to join them in the social glass, and the attendant follies were soon fastened up on me. I round my salary insufficient to supply my extravagances, and I entered the gambler's haunt I became an expert play er, and for a time fortune seemed to smile upon me. I became, in a measure reckless, my sensibilities were blunted with wine but possessing some regard for the teachings of my youth, I often felt the sting of remorse. At length I was united to one I had loved from childhood one whose gentle voice and smile of innocence always made me feel as if an angel was beside me. For her sake I resolved to quit my life of crime. I did so for a time, and was supremely happy. The wife I loved so fondly was all I could desire. Early left friendless, she seemed to ding to rue with all the fervor of her soul. I will pass over the first two years of my wedded life, as my purpose is to present to you the dark side of the picture first. "One evening I .was prevailed upon to visit one of my former places of resort., and at a late hour I returned to my home, my brain heated, my lips parched, and my breath tainted with the fumes of wine. I never can forget the look my wife cast upon me as I entered my home. Her heed was bow ed upon her hands, but hearing my foot step, she sprang to my side, exclaiming : " 'Oh, Henry, I feared something terri ble had happened ! It is the first time you have been absent at such an hour, but you were safe 1" " j "She threw her fond arms around my neck, waiting for the accustomed kiss. I pressed my lips to hers, when starting, she gazed upon me for a moment, then with a look of surprise and agony, she bent her head ddoq mv breast ana uursi: intn " 'Why do you weep?' I asked. . " .Because you are ill, dear husband, came the sweet response. "No other words were spoken then upon this subject. I tried toappear cheerful, but could not drive that look of agony from my mind. At last I told her all, and begged her to forgive me. She only nestled closer to my breast, and spoke the simple words "'Henry, I love you dearly I cannot find within my heart one word of reproach. I resolved in the future not to grieve the one who loved me so fondly. Did I keep this resolve? Ahlno.no! I thought my passion for gambling had been entirely erad icated, but that one vL-it awakened within my breast the demon sleeping there. I be came a constant visitor, a constant gambler but my fortune had turned I was inva riable the loser. As my losses wore upon me my wife observed the change, and strove by every possible means to make-ma happy. She supposed that my duties kept me till late in the evening. She did not ouspect the real cause, or if she did she kept the secret buried in her own breast. Une evening 1 was returning to my home earlier than usual, when I heard voi ces in my own room. I paused in the hall and listened." " 'HU duties are too severe !' I heard my wife exclaim. 'It is injuring his health! Do you not observe the paleness ot his face, his care-worn look? Till ten o'clock each night it is too much.' " 'Mrs. Willard,' replied the well-known voice of my employer, 'your husband has never been detained at the store after six o'clock.' "I heard a groan and then rushed from the house. That night I was taken home in a state of intoxication. I have an indis tinct recollection of a gentle hand soothing my brow, and hot tears falling on my cheeks but I heard no word of reproach. When I left home the next morning, the only words she spoke were : " 'Come home early, dear Henry.' "Oh ! how much of agony, of earnest ap peal, of love, were contained in those few words. I believe that the angel would have prevailed, and I should have returned to duty, but I had already robbed my employ er, and fearing disgrace I determined to con tinue until I had won sufficient to replace the money I had stolen." That night I visited a gambler's haunt again, with a large sum of money belonging to my employer. I met a stranger and at his solicitation joined him in the game. For a few moments fortune seemed to favor me, bat at last at one hazzard I lost all.' Mad dened I left the place, cursing the world and myself. I returned to my home, but the tind words of my wife were living coals upon uiy heart, and I spurned her in my drunken fury. She murmured not, she wept not, but was silent patient. "Oh 1 how I longed for evening of the following day, hoping to win back the sum I had lost But evening came, and I sank deeper in my guilt and shame. This con tinued four nights longer, during which time I had lost eight thousand dollars of my employer's money. I was mad I longed and prayed for death, tut, coward like, I dared not strike the blow myself. I could murder her, my own dear wife my patient, loving Laura, but I dared not rid the earth of the hated (oaonster that I was. "As I was leaving my place of business late in the afternoon of that day on which I made my last pledge, my employer said to mer Mr. Willard to-morrow we will look over the books." "Had a thunder-bolt fallen on my head, the blow could have not been greater, staggered from the store. What should I do ? I might rush again to the gaming ta ble but, what had I to pledge? I was pen nyless. Even my watch, and every availa ble article of value had already gone. But with frenzy in my heart, hastened to my home. Oh, the morrow? I could not meet it. I sat beside my wife she spoke not that is, her voice was silent, but there was sorrow stampedupon her face. I rose at last, and taking: her hand, exclaimed : " 'Laura, don't you despise me, curse me.' "She tried to speak, but faltering, she burst into tears. I was touched at last, for I still loved her, and falling upon my knees I told her all " 'And now,' I cried, starting up, 'there is but one bope. You may save me will you do it ? "Yes, you know I will !' was the gentle response ; 'what can I do ?' " 'Your jewelry 1 That diamond and your watch. They will procure the means for plry, and I may win back all I have lost. If I should not, I swear by the Heaven above me never to gaiuble.' Without one word she gave them up. I knew them to be gifts of her parents, now no more, and that she prized them highly, but with a word of hope I left the house. "I was met again by the same dark stran ger who had won the entire sum which I had lost. I had played of late only with him. We seated ourselves and the game began. The glittering jewel was placed on the table and I lost I "'Brandy! brandy!' I shrieked; 'give me brandy, or the most deadly poison I care not which." "Glass after glass I drank, and as the fires of the inflaming beverage mounted to my brain, I still played on. "At last I had lost every article I posses- ed. My partner suggested that we contin ue, as my luck might change, but I replied that I had nothing more to pledge. "Oh, yes, was the calm response : 'there is your household furniture!' "Fienu I" I CTIti But the morrow star ed me in the face, and quickly drew 2 or der for every article. I played and lost ! "'Let me die now'' I exclaimed, starting to my feet. I would have left the room, but my partner caught me by tbe hand, and drawing me close to him exclaimed : " 'You have one thing more that you can pledge!' " 'What is it? In the fiend's name what is it?' " 'You have one thing more I would pos sess. I have won from you eight thousand dollars. It is all here. You stole it, and to-morrow you will be called upon to give an account ! Can you replace the sum ?' 'Silence, you fiend of darkness,' I cried- 'or, by heavens above,- I shall add murder to my dark catalogue of crime !' " 'Be calm and I will propose a plan by which you may win all back.' " ' Speak ! in mercy speak !' I groaned. " 'Here is the money you have lost here your jewelry, and here the order for your household furniture. Should I play with you no more, you are a beggar, and eoon will be a convicted felon ! I will place these things all of them, against -one thing you possess. It is your only chance. Will you consent?' 'Yes, to anything!' I cried. 'What is it I can stake against these? My life?' "No, your wttel came the calm re sponse. I sprang forward and - would nave torn my tempter limb from limb, but placing a pistol to my breast, he bid me beware. staggered choaking to the side-board and drank deeply. At last I c ried : 'Yes, it shall be so ! I will play this stake, for I know that I shall win !' ' " 'Stay a moment,' exclaimed my tempt er. e must nave times regular sign this paper !' "I seized the pen affixed my name to the document which pledged myself to renounce all claim upon my wife if the game turned against me. "With a fixed 'purpose I seated myself, and the game began. My opponent was calm, while I was burning beneath the flames that consumed me. The game pro ceeded, and I lost one point. I paused, seiz ed a decanter ol brandy, and drinking deep ly cf its contents, but this only added fuel to the fires raging within me. " 'On with this game of death !' I cried, and with glaring eyes and heaving breast we played again. A second point I lost. I tried to rise, but could not. 'Quick! quick!' I shouted, 'let us finish tbe torture!' It came. I wo points more were lost, and starting to my feet in wild despair, I fell senseless to the flxr. "I had made my last pledge the gam bler's last pledge ! The wife I had loved was no longer my wife, but a slave ! made so by the husband who had sworn to pro tect her till the close of life ! When I returned to consciousness I was stretched npon a couch at my own home. My own home T No the home I had lost ! and beside me stood the partner of my games, and the gentle Laura, once my wife now his slave I " I started up there was madness in my touI, and the demon glare flashed in my eyes. My purpose was formed murder was the only step left me nowl Murder 1 murder! My hand was lifted to strike tbe blow, but it seemed as if some nnseen power held toy hand. I fell upon my knees, crying, "0h! angel of light, and you bright cherubs who have pity for a fallen man save me, save me 'Mr. Willard, ' exclaimed the stranger, 'will you listen' for a moment, calmly !' "'Yes,' I replied, 'go on.' "He motioned Laura from the room, and then continued, " 'What will you do to regain all you nave lost? To be able to call your wife your own, your furniture your own, and to repay the money taken' from' your em ployer ?' " 'You are mocking me I' I answered. " 'No, I am not. What will you do T " 'Give up my life become your 6lave anything !' " There,' he cried, throwing a package npon the table beside me, 'there yoa will find instructions for the future. Do not let your wife know anythingjabout our arrange ments. She is yet ignorant of your acta.' Without another word he left the house. "I seized the package and tore it open, when to my almost agonizing joy, I beheld the money I had lost, together with the jewels and the order for my furniture. Tears started to my eyes, but dashing them away, I read the following words : ."You will find the sum of eight thousand dollars in this package, the entire amount won from you. Place it at once to the ac count of your employer, and then you will escape the detection. This sum I loan you. Your valuables I return. The document which makes Laura mine I shall retain for the present. Follow my instructions, and she will be yours again. At the end of each year you must deliver one thousand dollars to a messenger who will call upon you. It will reach" me. This you will be able to do as the amount is but one-half your salary . , -,, n ... iw remainuer win te sura lent lor vour support. At the end of eight years the en tire sum will have been repaid, at which time I will return the document pledging your wife, and all shall be cancelled. But, if during this time, you enter a gambler's den, the compact is broken I r-hall claim my property ! Should you ever feel a desire to do so, go home first look at your wife ! Your Friksd. "I could not speak, but from my inmost soul I lifted up my prayer for help a pray er of thankfulness. When partially recover ed I called upon the name of Laura, and that bright angel came bounding to my arms. Oh! with what frantie rantnre did !an b(r to my breast, mingling mv fears of joy with hers. That night my dream was sweet angels were watching over us. " But few words more are necessary. My accounts were found to be correct. At the end of each year I was met at my own door by a messenger, who received for my un known benefactor the sum agreed upon. But one more installment 2nd I would be i free." " One morning to my surprise, the same dark stranger entered my place of business I had not seen him during the eight years past, but rememberiDg his kindness,! sprang forward grasping bis hand. "I have called for the last installment, he exclaimed. 1 handed him the sum. and re ceived from his hands the fatal document. My wife My Laura was indeed mv own gain ! 'You are firm ? 'he asked inquiringlv. " 'I have only had occasion to look npon my wite once, and that one look has contin ued eight years, for when my eyes see her not my eyes discern her loveliness !' "There was a smile of peculiar meaning passed over the features of the stranger. In an instant his entire person had changed in appearance. A disguise was thrown aside, and my employer stood before me ! I was a bout to speak, when he exclaimed ? 'Explanations are unnecessary. I could not see you fall young man, and I followed you. As a stranger I ruined you; as a stran ger I saved you ; as your employer I have forgiven you. And more. I won my own money, ineretore am not me loser. Here are eight thousand dollars, the savings of eight years let this form the basis of your tuture lortuue. ' This is my story, Edward. Now remem ber, both you and I have made the Gam bier's Last Pledge ! " The reply of Cespedes, the patriot leader, to the overtures of General Dulce was : ' will make no terms with the Spanish Gov ernment Although I should have but ten men to follow me, I will fight till I conquer or die." This indicates that indomitable will which knows no such word as fail.

A gentleman residing in one of our rural villages had a pony, a lively, docile and very active animal, whose principal service was to carry his mistress out riding every fine day, her uncle, the gentleman, riding his horse. In their rides they had to pass a farm house just over tbe bridge, here was kept a surly dog which habitually jumped over the fence, and barked at them and worried the horses, and particularly the pony, attempting to bite his hind legs, and causing him to wheel about and squirm about to face the dog and save' nis heels. One day the owner of the dog was spoken to, and requested to keep his dog inside of tlje fence, and prevent him frou worrying the horses. He replied his dog had as good a right on the road as any other puppy, and he should not tie him up." "Then," said the uncle, "I'll shoot your dog tbe next time he flies at us in this way." t Wk-iartl? got home, and the saddle and bridle were taken off the pony, he slipped away from the hostler, and run up to the ramse, where Uruno, a large Newfoundland dog, was lying on the mat in front of the pi azza. They met ; pony put his head cfown to Btuno's and he ranged his head as though he was listening". There, look at the dog and pony." said the tfncle ; what under the sun are they at? 1 bey act as though they were talkine." They let tlem alone till tbey got through and pony ran about the lawn and would not be caught and Brnno laid down again as before. , . Next day they rode again prepared to shoot the cur, or scare him from his evil prar-f ices. A short distance from tne house cm toiniria; in artgle of the road, they looked back and spied Bruno quietly following them. Ihis won't do. said owrle. . "(in hrl. Bruno, you know there is nobody at Lome but your mistress, and who'll guard the house when you are away? Go back." The dog turned and jumped over the fence as though to go home through the lots. So tltey rode nntil the farm house appeared insight Out came the cur ; uncle prepar ed to shoot, when all of a sudden over came Bruno, seized the cur by the neck, shook him severely, and made him yell, so that the family came out to the rescue', while po ny lookpft ' pnTevidently with as much de light as a child would at play. He pawed the ground, shook and bowed his head and was very active in securing a good view of the fight By-and by Bruno- let go, and the cur sneaked into the house, and Bruno galloped home, after exchanging some words or rather rubbing noses with the pony. When they all got home' again the ani uinls Bad another conference, and a fine gal lop about the lawn, much to the applause and merriment nf uncle and the family. Changes in the Human System. It is obvious, then, that we change our bodies as we change our clothes. It was an old fancy, belonging to the category of the . , . seven stars, tne seven ages, tne seven days of the week, and the seven sleepers, that we are made over again every seven years. But a strong man, leading an active life, takes between two and three pounds of dry food daily, and five or six of liquids. He receives into his lungs between tour and five thou sand gallons of air every twenty-four hours, of which he absorbs two or three pounds. tIn a year, therefore, such a man takes into his system about Ihree thousand pounds 6 oretgn material, or twenty times his owri weight All of this, with insignificant ex ception, has become a part of his own fluids or solids. That is, if he weigh one bun dred and fifty pounds, he has been made over twenty times in the course of a year, or as often as once in evey two or three weeks, But the change occurs much more rapid in some parts than in others in the blood, the hair, the cuticle, much more rapidly than in the bones or the teeth, so far as our obser vation extends. Yet, that the process of growth is pretty active even in the bones is rendered probable by the rapidity wi'h which a fracture unites, especially in young and healthy persons. The dentists will tell you that even the teeth are capable of repairing their own damages to a certain extent, which implies that they too are changed more or less, like other farts. Red Snow. There has been quite a large fall of red snow on the Mis.-ouri river, near Leavenworth, this winter. It was not ot very bright hue, but rather of a dingy color. The water obtained from melting a quantity of it presented no remarkable feature, but it was very si l.ilar to that produced by dis solving white snow, save that it contained i pieties or sediment very similar to brick dust. Red snow, though quite a rarity in pome regions, is by no means uncommon in certain lacaliiies. In the Arctic regions, it frequently fallj several times during the year. J here was at one time a great varie ty of opiniou as to the canse which produc ed this singular color. Some contended that it was caused by minute plants of Ver million hue, while others ascribed it to a species of animalculae. Recent meteorolog ical investigations prove the latter theory to be correct. Some men of science have in clined to the opinion that the color is pro duced by purely atmospheric causes. A man (evidently henpecked) says that if our school-days tne rule ot three is proverbially trying bow much harder, in after life, do we feel the rule of "one." A 8CMMEB boarder in a country village says that at the meeting house they have a beautiful chime of bells in tbe entry after service. TTOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS, AX AND HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TOKIC.
