Ho was not only known but hailed, and halted with reniarkabo cordiality and ferv.-w u m nana warm iy jrrftspea, and n is ac quaintanceship claimed without .no ii"htest shade ol hesitation.

Ho was now .n the a; olegetie vein The property, he confined, was b.j ing nursed at present. There was a goo 1 deal of retrenchment going on. The grounds were not Kept up as thej ha1 been. His granifa'her hat kno-ked o f a lot of umicr-st rapper: and useless hangers on The irar.:en; too. had been ridi uloiisly expeiisiv. and she had curtailed t ie n tousiucr ably. I if erni-ae when his cousin t'ame of si r j these things would be diilerent. Sh could then do as she chose: but for tin present he thought his granumothei was very wise to spend as little as neec be. 1 1 was not as if they were living in the world with more of tho kind. To all of this his companion cheer fully assented, as ho would have ilont to almost anything at the moment The relief of getting away from tin hovel, tho thought of which ha', grown more insupportable than ovet during the past haif-hour, was so in tenso that he would have permittet Mrs. Camplicll to knock o;f ever gardener on the place, and curtail hei expenditure in every direction, so lonj as he was given a decent dinner to ea' an l a decent bed to sleep. There was, however, no call for such indulgence. A brief exjierienee sui liced toshow that the bovish br.iir ol n youth, anxious to enhance the ditruiu of all connected with him, was on tin prwaent occasion making a great ilea out ot a very little. There m ght b retrenchment there was certainly ih discomfort nor disorder anywhere. A respectable elderly ma or- lomt btood in the doorwav to receive tht i.e ao.Vhi, and a trim ln in a ruiei but neat livery ran down tho steps.anc began to take out tho luggage with deft dispatch. Mrs. Campbell. Mr. Havmwnd was informed, was in the drawing-room awaiting him. an I Itel lenden, wiio lingered for a niomenl affecting to be occupied with his bo loneines, but in rea ity to allow a mo ment for exp anation. hud soon the satisfaction of seeing the stately damt emerge from a uis ::nt doorway, es coried by her nephew, all eagernesi to present his friend. For an expected guest the coult wait within tho ante-chamber: bu: couitesy to a stranger, and ono not as surcd of a wel ome, sent her forth t meet him. He felt at once ail that he might now hope for. His own manner, al ways easy and engaging, at once rose with the occasion, ana he bower over the hand held out to him wit! the reverence o; a courtier. "He is churmirg.'' thought slit. "Never was s.;ch luck," thought he Kach smiled at the other, and the goof unJerstanding waj complete. "Jt is going ki be a very wet night fear,' said Mrs. C.impbe! , glancing lutsiile, as the raindrojis no., began to Deat heavily against the tall, narrow jrindows. fear, Cecil that there i not much chance of your having a lino 'lay :or the n.oor to-n.orrow. I con futed our weather wise old gardener Macdonald on tho subject, anl he diook his head. I nfortunately fo;- you, a-o have had a long spell oftlne woalh ir. it has been really too I'ne of late, ind every ono began to fear it cojld dot last much longer. Vou know that August is never our best month, and one cannot expect summer wea.hor to last forever." "no, we can't, er.indm.imma," Cecil only smiled to himself, and ouly smiled M remember how often he had heard the tamu before. It seemed to him that ho had heard it ever since he rould remember the t'me-v.orn apol ogy for the mist-i oi ' nehmj.r w. And yet how i early he loved the place, and its inmat s. its very rains, and foods, a' d cloud-capped mountain-peaks were t-acred in his e es, and he "would not have let l'ellenden into the secret of its infirmity for the wor'd. Who could say but what the morning might se clorious sunshine and melting warmth,; and if so, why not have been prepared for it? "i have no doubt it will clear b)-and by," he said readily: "and let it rain as much as it will to-night, there's no harm t one. (. laudniamma, can we have a tiro in tho billiard -room this evening? I dare say Capt. Uellenden would lil.e a gamo 'of billiard after dinner." "Certainly, my dear." And tho or der was given. "And let the tire be. lit at once." added tho o'd h.dy, anx ioUii to do everything well. "The room may be a little" damp:" in explanation to Hellendeu, "for it has not been used this stt nmer." "Xot been used th's summer! Cooc heavens." inwardly e aculated h . 'And I am to play on a table not used this summer." Jt was a blow, ai.d he wa only just able to avoid showing that it was one. "I am alraid it will not bo in verj pood condition," continued Cecil llay mond. who was but half a degree more learned on tho s b. cl than his grand mother. "Hut you must make ullow nn es and. anyway, it's better than do ing noth ng." "And. anyway, it is a very grea deal better than sitting in the midst of pt at-ieek and whisky at tho "Ferry Inn.'' rellccted his friend. And tho tiiought restored his former equanim ity a if by magic. lie had. as he was wont to say of hire self, the knack of being civil. Accus tomed to luxury, and courted by uros perity, ho was yet of so happy a tem perament, that ill-fortune could not daunt, nor a. verso circumstances rullle him. To escape either, he would, in-d-Tt'd, as we know, exe t ingenuity and address; but, had these lai ed, no one would have hear ! more of the matter. He would have smoked a philosophical cigar, gone to Led, and proceeded on his o. rney the next day without an oa h or a grumble, lie was by no means a ' ud sort of follow. He now dressed himself for dinnei eerenely, with s urce a moment's re gret for tho services of the valet, who had been sent on to Kincraig by an other and a swifter route, and whose absence had I eo.i a rtial satisfaction to his master d ring the terrib ei antici pations of t;;e afternoon. He was not by any mean so dependent on the very i n.; gentleman as Monsieur I'ierre sup posed, and i.iii.t ct.iu y pa k his own I orinii'iitei;.!. an I p it on his own coat when compelled by necessity to do so.

Rlmon anil his comrailes hnd pxperlenceil the nlt-ht before what flshnrmnn call "pool Inck." Christ mteps on ho.inl tho fls'iinst stiacW nnd tells the sailors topnll nwav from the bench and directs them strain to sink the net. 8ure enoutth, very soon the net Is full of fishes, ond the sailors bet-In to hnnl In. Ro Inrge a school of fish wiis tnken that thfi hardy men begin to look red In the face as they pull, and bardlv have they betnin to ro joice at their success when snap Konft a thread of the net, and snap poca another thread, so there Is dancer not only of losing the flih, bat of losing the net. Without mnch care as to how much the boat tilts or how much writer is splashed on dock, the fishermen rush about Catherine ap the broken meshes of the net. Out yonder there Is a shin dnncin- on the wave, nnd they hall It, '"Ship ahoy, bear down this way!" The ship comes, nnd both boats, both flshin? smacks, are filled With the floanderincf trensnns. " Ah," says some one, "how mnch bettei It would have been if thev had staid on shore, and fished with a bonk nnd Mn". and taken one at a time. Instead of hirla this (Treat excitement, and the boit a'anwt unset, snd the net broken, nnd having to call for help and frettlnc sopping wet with the ea I" The church Is the boit, the gospel Is Ihe net, society is the sea, and a i-rent r-vt-ntl is a whole school brought In at one weep of the net. I have admiration for that man who goes out with a hoot an I llns Io fish. I admire the way he unwin ls the reel and adjusts the bait and drops the hook in a quiet place on a still after noon, and here catches one and there one, bnt I like also a big boat, and a large orew, and anet a mile lonir, nndswifl oars, and stoat sails, and a ntlfT breeze, and a frreat multitude of sonls brought so srreat a mnltltnde that yon have to P"t help te draw it ashore straining the net to tho ut most until it breaks hero and there, lettinsr s few escape, bnt hrlngingthegreat multitude toto eternal safety. In other words, I believe In revivals.

But there are objections to revivals. Feople are opposed to them be cause the net mh-hr get broken, an I If by the pressure of sonls it doest not ;r-t broken, then they take their own pen k a ves nnd slit the net. "They Inclosed a great multitude of fishes, and the net brake." It is sometimes opposed to reviva 's of re llgion that those who come Into t'. - church st such times do not hold out ; ns lonv ns there Is a gale of blesslngthey have th.'ir talis up. bat as soon as strong winds stop blowing then they drop into a dead calm. Bm what are 1 he facts in the case? In all oar churches the vast majority o'' the useful people are those who are limm-tit in un ier great awakenings, and they hold nut. Who are the prominent men in the United States In churche". In prayer meetings, in Sabbath chools? For the mcst part they are thepro- anctor great awakenings. I have noticed that those who are brought Into the kingdom of God throngh revivals have more persistence and more determim tlon in tho Christian lite than those who come In nndera low state of religion. lVo plebornlnan icehouse may live, but they will never get over the cold they caught In Iheioehonset A cannon hill d 'pnds upon the Impulse with which it st irls for bow fur It shall go and how swi tly, nnd the greater the revival force with which a sonl Is started Ihe more farreaching and far resounding will be the execut ion. But it Is sometimes o'decte 1 to revivals that there Is so mnch excitement that people mistake hysteria for religion. We most admit that In every reviv.il of re ligion there is either a suppressed or a demonstrated excitement. In lee 1 If a mau can go out of a state of cnndeuinntion into s state of acceptance with Go I, orsee others go, without anv agitation of soul, he Is in an Dnhenlthy, morbid state, and is as repulsive and absurd as a man who should borist ho mv a .child snatched out from an ler a horse's hoofs and felt no agitation, or saw a man rescued from the fourth story ot a boose on fire and felt no acceleration of tne -raises. Salvation from sin and death and hell into If fe and peace and heavn forever is such a tremendous thin -that if a man tolls mo ho ean look on it without any agitation I doubt his Christianity. The fact Is that sometimes excitement Is "the most Important possible thing. In case of resuscitation from drown ing or freezing, the one idea Is to ex -ite ani DiHtion. Be:ore conversion we nr dead. It is the business of the church to revive, srouse, awaken, resuscitate, startle into li'e. Excitement is bad or good accordin;- to what it makes us do. If it makes us dotliat which Is bad, It Is bad exciteaienr, but if it make us gitnted about our eternal welfare, if it make as prsv, if it make us attend upon Christian service. If it m ikn us cry unto Go.) for mercy, then It is a good excitement. It is sometimes said that during revivals Of religion great mtlltilu les of children nn t young people lire brought into the church, tnd they do not know waat they are alKut. t has been my oljiervation that the earlier people come Into the kingdom of God Ui more useful they are. Kobert Hall, the prince of Baptist preaoh ers, was converted at twelve yrare of age. It Is supposed he knew what he was about. Matthew Henry, tho commentator, who did more than any man of his century for in creasing the interest in the stu ly of the Scriptures, was converted at eleven years ol age ; Isabella Graham, immortal in the Christian church, was converted at ten years of age ; Dr. Watts, whose hymns will be sang all down the ages, was converted at Dine years of age ; Jonathan Edwards, per bnps the mightiest Intellect that the Ameri can pulpit ever produced, was converted at seven years of age, and that father and mother take nD awful responsibility when they tell their child at seven years of nge, "You nro too young to be a Christian," or "Yoa are too young to connect yourself with the church." That Is a mistake as long as eternity. If during a revival two persons present themselves as candidates for the church.au. I the one is ten years of age, and the other Is forty years of age, I will have more eonll lenoe in the profession'of religion of the one ten years of age than the one fortv years of age. Why? The one who professes at forty years of age has forty years of impulse in the wrong direction to correct, the child lias only ten years in the wrong direction to correct. Four times tea are fony. Four tlmts the religious prospect for the lad tiint comes into the kingdom of Go I, and into the church at ten years of age than the mat) at forty. I am very apt to look upon reviv.i's as con nected with certain men who foster them. People who in this day do not like revivals, nevertheless, have not words to express their admiration lor the revivalistsof the past, lot they were revivalists Jonathan Edwards, John Wesley, George Whitefleld, Griffln. Davies, Osrorn, Knnpp, Nottleton and many others whose names come to my mind. The strength of their intellect and the holiness ol their lives make me think they would not have anything to do with that which war ephemeral. Oh, it is easy to talk against re ivals. Do yon know where Aaron Burr stnrte on the downward road? It was when h was in college, and he became anxioui about his soul and was about to put himsell under the influence of a revival, and a min ister of religion said: "Don't go there, Aaron; tlon't go there; that's a place ol wildllreand great excitement; no religion about that t don't go there." He tarried wy. His ser'ons fn-pressfnnt, Jnpartt-1. He started on the downward road. And who Is resnoniblA for his ruin? Was it the n'nlster who warned him against that re iv.-ii f Now I come to fie re-il, genuine esn"i ot ihjeetion to revivals. That is tho c m es jf the obi-ctor. It Is thn secret and hidden bnt unmistakable canse in everr ess? n low ste of religion in the hesrt. Wide n wake, rons-w-rnted. useful Christians are nver s'rald of rev' Vila. It is the snlritually dead who are nrrai.l of having th-ir s-pnloher molested. The chief agents of lite dvil dur .1 ing a great awakening are always nnoon. verted professors o( religion.

The Japanese have undoubtedly illustrated afresh the value of sea power, writes Hon. Hilary A. Herbert, Secretary of tha Navy, in the North American Review. This, of course, has been taught time and time again. in lessens familiar to all. The most powerful factor in the downfall of Napoleon, one that operated all tho time from 1803 to 1814, was the abso lute control of the sea by his arch enemy, England. He was shut off from transportation by sea, compelled to rely on land communications, and there was no point in the circle of his conquests from the easternmost shores of Italy along the coast of the Medi tertanean to Gibraltar, and thenoe ironuil the Atlantic and the Channel n-l .tho North Sea into tho Baltic, where the .English could not assail him. The geuius of the great conqueror and the wonderful impulse the revcv lutiun had given to his soldiery made him master of c.uulinental .Europe, but he could not hold it. Whenever upon the sea thsra was a stragetio point in his conquered territory there were English lleets, English tliplo raacy and English allies, and these finally led first to the downfall at Varis and then to Waterloo. A more recent, possibly a moro forceful, lesson ia to be drawn from our own Civil V7ar. The Union lleets blockaded the Confederacy and almost starved it to death. They shut it in from recruits and supplies and munitions of war. They cut it in twa by their fleets on tho Missis sippi, and penetrated its vitals along tho lines of other navigable streams. They hovered around it as England hovered around Napoleon and his satrapies, and assailed it whenever it was weakest. When the true history of the conquest of the Confederacy is written it will undoubtedly appear that, in proportion to numbers en gaged and expenses incurred, the Nary of the United States was a far mora efficient factor in tho final resnlt than even the armies in tho Held. Japan is illustrating the same lesson. A BATH AITtOrT.

A Hunter's Costly Tank of Curios ities (ucer Marine Freaks That Are Hrcd by Amateurs. ARE and valuable fishes at Altbi and valuable lish I owned in New York to J a greater extent than d before and represent a .-day to than ever rprewnt a total investment of about $20,001). A 6tory about some of the most curious B'jd beautiful specimens in town and fleir peculiar characteristics may be of gets eral iuterest, writes a New York cor respondent of the San Francisco Dhronicle. In a self-sustaining aquarium in Nctk York, containing about nine gallons of water, are some varieties of gold fish of an aggregate value of nearly J1000. Clarence McKim, the banker, is the possessor of this valuable tank of fish. He has collected the specimens ut different times as they were import fd to or bred in this country. About tho smallest nnd yet mos prominent pair of fish in this aquarium is the telescope goldfish of Japan, of which variety there are not more than ten specimens in New York. They are of a soft velvety black color, with bright golden tints on tho end of the scales. The body is dwarfed to such an extent thnt the lish appears to be almost round, while tho beautiful double tails droop fur below tho ven tral fins and give the fish the appear ance of wearing a long train. The eyes are as large as those found in a five inch bull-frog and protrude beyond the head to the same extent. These fish are unusually intelligent and so tame that they enn bo fed from the hand. Their regular diet consists of a small piece of fishwood wafer made oi rice, flour and water, which is fed to them every morning, and once a week a small piece of earth worm. After r ceivincr the latter delicncv thev usual! v exhibit their gratification by Ktrit di- in rr V. rt ilnrunl fin . n m.-... .... 1 f eiriniTnlnfT j".mti.1 n,i.l T(i,rwl o f f .. ..i,.l. other, playing and curvetting among he water plants in tho aquarium in ur amusing manner. A few yeurs ngo, when Admiral Am men, of the United States Navy, was in Japan he tried very hard to get a pnir of these fish for the purpose of lin e l ing them and introducing them into this country. He found, however, that the Mikado was so jealous of this J rare stock leaving the countrv that ho prohibited any dealing in this lish. The Japanese fish cultur.st who pro duces this variety of fish produces artificially their peculiarities of shapa and color. Originally, they wore bred from the long, slender-bodied, sinzle tailed gold fish, nnd it requires untir ing patience on the part of the citltur ist to develop tho peculiarities which -five the fish their value. The Japan ese, it is said, take tho fish when young and place theiu in a cylindric.il lube made of dark colored gla-s ut each end and with two openings of clear glass above the eyes of the lisii. These cylinders are Inid in the small artificial ponds constructed for 1: purpose, nnd the water is allowed to pass freely through tho tube. The tendency of the tiny lish is to swim always toward tho clear part of tiie lylinder, and iu time the eyes grow ant into the cavities made for the pur jose. The youngest daughter of the late Colonel Elliot F. Shepurd has in her sqimrium threo fringe-tail goldfish. One of the fish has a brilliant citrmino color, making tho ordinnry American gold'.ish look pale in comparison with this glistening sides. He presents a 1 beautiful appearance by ".isliuht when passing from side to sido iu the aquarium in search of tidbits from his little mistress, Margherita. Resides this fish, she has small American striped dace, noted for their sym metrical form and swiftness in swim ming. They will jump fully two feet out of the water after a small pieco of scraped beef rolled up to look like an earthworm and impaled ou a broom itraw over the aquarium. Master Arthur Gotthold, of West Fifty -eighth street, raised nearly 10'J three-spined sticklebacks this spriug from one pair. During a period of ten days in April the larger of these two fish busied himself in excavating a largo hole iu the sum! of his ' aquarium, carrying it a little at a time in his mouth nil the way across the aquarium. After getting the hole deep enough he commenced to pull little bits of branches off some of the water-plants and piled them up until they formed tho nest indicated, stop ping every little while to press his sides against tho branches to cement them iu placo with the mucus exuded from his scales. Occasionally he would Bwim head down nnd poke his nose in tho opening to maintain the proper shape in the nest. Ho thon m i le a:i opening on the left-hand sido near the base, in such a way that tho water could pass freely in at ono aperture ind ont at tho other. Duriug this time tne uttto Duilder changed in solor from an uninteresting slate hue to a brilliant redallovr the chest and jill covers. After the eggs were deposited by his mate the fish took a position about an inch above the nest, with his head toward the opening, and began to fan vigorously with his pectoral fins forc ing the water in through the top of the nest. From this time on for four teen days he showed very little inter est in anything else. Instead of feeding ravenously he nte very little of the fresh beef offered him every morning. Whenever he did leave the nest for a few seconds it was seemingly for the purpose of swimming across the nqtiur ium to unmercifully punish his unof fending mate. At the end of the fort night the young fish were hatched, but he still kept up tho aerating pro oess over the nest until tho tinv vel's sacs attached to the bodies of the fry, by which they nro nonri.hing, had ilsnppeared. Then the young1 fish iwnm out nnd were able to feed tbem telves from the small infusoria grow ji)L under the leaves of the water plant. The daughter of Mrs. Soutter owns t very interesting pair of paradise lifch, svhich came from India, and bear tho nost brilliant variety of colors found n any fresh water fish. Tho head is rray with dark spots. Tho gills are )lue bordered with crimson, the eyes rellow and red and tho pupils black. fh sides of the bodv are crimson witn ten or twelve vertical bine stripe. The tail is crescent in shape and is rimson with a blue border. When tho fish is excited all its colors intensify in brightness. The tail is covered with small spots like the eyes on a peacock's tail, and tho under surface ot the fish changes nt times from iet black to nearly whiter MET DEATH IN THE ALPS. Jo w Two Darlnjr Cllmbere, Tied To gether, Were Hashed to Death. The latest victims of ambition to climb the Matterhorn were Andreas Seiler, a tourist, and Johaun Itiener, a guide. They belonged to a party of five, and, being a little more venture some, had gone ahead. One of the sur viving three tells of the accident .is follows: The otaers wore only five minutei, ahead, and we hnd reached a difficult spot and were stnndinj- on steps cul at the top of a small patch of Ice, nt an niiKle of 50 def-reos and close to rock, when Mooscr called out, "Beware ol MP" AS ACCIIlEXT ON THE MATTERHORN stones." We pressed up close to tha rock and listened, when the two (Seller and Iliener) shot past us. We were nil three close together, and Mooscr could have touched them with his ax. They were tied together. Seiler passed close to us, his back downward, his head well bent up, as if he were preparing for a sudden shock. ISieiicr Hew l'ar out nir.-iinst the blue sky and the rope was stretched tightly between them. They fell on to the Glacier du Lion, and when the bodies wore recovered they were still tied together. With both tha crown of the head was cut away us thotif-h it had been done by a sharp In Btrumont. Seiler's watch was crushed and his left boot wa-s missing, although the foot was uninjured. How the acci dent happened will never be known, as no one saw tliem slip. I am ineline.l to think that Seiler was climbing at the fame time as Hiener, instead of wait ing until he had a firm hold, and th it Ihe former slipped, jerking I'.iener oil tl'.a leet.
