though for gen

bud practically re
tired from 'Change. Ho was it wid
ower, with an only daughter. Miss
l'liyllis Monrongh, m;ed twenty a
line, handsome blonde, who luul taken
lip the Mudy of ncieiice.
1'hyllis had, nl coiirfe, licajm of of
fers, eligible and otherwise, hut (die
bad not met tho mail whom tdio eared
to mnrrv, mid, ut her urgent desire,
her fatln r had sent her to eollcgo to
iiiahlo her to purine In r Mudies.
Sho went to the college with a mind
fully made up to devote her life to
science ami to nhjuro matrimony. In
s ' hir-self put it, sho bad

JnicKcrtoii, who Wus Htu ly ny iaw
tin re.
Yr.un Ibickrrtou catno from n good
family, was rich, good lookiug mid in
every way eligible ; but when l'hvliis
wrote to lnr "papa" informing him
of her tender passion and asking his
consent to hei engagement, sho re
ceived ii telegram ' (ho wus so urgent
that he would not wait lor tho poM to
carry his refusal) :
"No. t'omo home nt once."
l'hyllis had ko rarely been denied
anything that Mie was nngry, iiston
ishc 1, dumbfounded, brokenhearted ,i!l
nt (Mice. No mere words can accurate
ly liehcribe lnr feelings. However,
there w:is no In lt for it. Sho must
oh -v. And so, niter an interview w ith
her lover, in which thev vowed eternal
attachment, hhe precipitately threw
U In r studies and her newly found
hopes of bliss and returned to New
York.
Her father received her kindly, but
with ii firm set countenance, which bho
knew from her observation of his deal
ings with others indicated tL.it Lis
mind was made up, und that nothing
could niter it.
She, of course, burst into tears to
begin with. lint it made no visible
flVcct on her parent.
"My dear l'hyllis," ho said, "you
cannot imagine how it pains me to be
obliged to run counter to your de
hire, but when I hnvo explained mat
ters to you, I hope you will agree with
ine and give up the idea of marrying
this young Hockerton."
"When I was n lad my father had a
farm out West, the adjoining farm to
which belonged to Ralph ltockerton,
the grandfather of the young mun you
have met.
'I need not go into details; it will
Biillico for you to know that my father
mid old Hockerton had a bitterquarrel,
mi l that n feud ui'o.io between the two
families which cau never be healed.
"I would rather see you in your
eollin," Lo added, melodramatically,
"than see you the wife of one of that
brood."
"Rut, pipn," ur.'jod Phyllis, "it is n
very long timo ago, aud 1 don't thiuU
that ii quarrel between my grandfather
and his grandfather should bo liny
reason why (loo I mean Mr. Hocker
ton should not bo a good husband to
me. He is rich. I've always done as
you've wi-hod, and now, wheu I feel
that my life's happincs is at stake,
you make this stupid objection."
She sobbed afresh, but her tour
wero thrown away on her obdurato
parent, so bhe tried to cross-examine
him on the subject of tho quarrel.
"It must have been a very dreadful
quarrel, papa, for you to harbor re
venge all these year. Tell me moro
about it. If my life is to bo blighted,"
(the said, sighing deeply, "I should
liko to know it."
Mr. Monrough felt himself potting
into a cornor w ith his daughter's wiles
and tears, and ho got a bit angry."
"It would be of no ase," he replied
shortly; "my mind is irrevocably
made up. Rut I may say that, as was
common in those days, the quarrel led
to lighting, and until your grand-
either family took every opportunity
of trying to take the life of no me mem
ber of tho other. After father's death
we told the fr.rra and came Kast, and
ao the enmity ceased actively ; but 1
could never concent to your marrying
into that bated family never 1"
"Rut, pupa," insisted the girl,
"wbnt wax it about? What led to the
quarrel ?"
"It was about a ctrca.n, my dear,
which rati between the two eMateis.
Old Kock( rton inintel that the water
wns all on his land, whereas it was the
boundary, and we had the right on
one aide of the stream and ho ou tho
other. Hut it really distrisscs me to
think abo'it that dreadful time, when
for two wholo years 1 wnlked about
witli my life in r.iy hand, no to penk.
I beg that yoti w ill ha v no mere ou the
subject."
"Well, put one question, pnrii,"
nuked l'hyllis, with mi ive to future
contingencies. "Was any one killed."
"No. No one was killed," answered
Mr. Monrough; "hnt your irrnnd
father was hhot in thearni, mi 1 1 never
can forgive them never ! never !"
Her fatln r then iiii-t. d on her
promising him that sho would not
marry without bts consent, which she
i 1 rendily i noush, but hhe s r.v it was
nudes arguing with bim any btrther,
and for the time the matter ended.
It soon became evidect to Mr. Mon
rough that i'hrllis was really in ttiug
mid making herself ill nU.ut "that
confounded fellow Iloekert. n,'' ns he
hnid to himself. Jlo was a man of
action, an. I determined to

morning at breakfast, "liow n-

"Oh, pupa hhe ( xclaiiue.l, with

"That would he liidishtful. Yo'i know
I've always wanted to go across and

the time?"
"We'd, no, n.y girl, 1 can't just

your U!:ele's in Matiehesti r, wheio
you could stay and iimuso youreli till
I arrived, which probably 'would be in
about three mouths."
So it was settled ; and. the following
week, Phyllis (having lir-t in tor me 1
young Hockerton, with whom she
kept up a secret correspon b nee, of
her departure and her' destination)
i-tepped on board the mail steamship

to his business, so that she hail the

nud her voyage over, an 1 her new sur
roundings, hhe ij a very hhort time
resumed her old healthy look-, and, ns
Mr. Spiiudcr wrote to Mr. Monrough,
"she leeiiieil to have entirely forgotten
her love nfhiir."
She also, ol cour-e, frequently wrote
to her father. In one of her letters
she i-aid :
"1 am n fully eomfortabl. hero.

would think, and he plavs tennis

he read this letter. "That'-, more like
it, now !"
J'hvllis had been iu F.nghuid for two
months mid everything had settled
dowu quietly, when Mr. Monrough
was electrified ono morning to receive
u cablegriim from her:
"lieor,"' Ims lining all tlio way from eol.
Ictfe. Wants i.i marry me Immediately. Uo
consent mi 1 make nu happy, Tuvi.i.is."
"Weill this beats all !" murmured
Mr. Monrough, us he stared nt the
message, "lie must have fallen very
deeply in love with her, indeed. Oh I

went? I suppose that Tom Spauder
reckons on my doing what is right,
and so 1 will. I wish i could get over,
but I'm stuck fast with that specula
tion for another month. It might loso
me a million if I left it, nud 1 can't
afford that. Well, here goes!"
Aud he bent this reply telegram:

"iJ.Slloco.',
Ten days after this message, on tho
morning of the arrival of the Cunard
steamship at New York, Mr. Mourougn
was sitting in his private cilice when
tho door opened and in walked his
daughter, leaniug on the arm of a
very well-set-up younj man of
course, her husband.
The old mun jumped up.
"Well, this is a surprise I" he shont
ed. "What on earth made you in such
a hurry to get married? Ah, well, I
was young myself onee, and I know
when I fell iu love with your mother
I wns iu a deuoe of a hurry to get
married."
"Ob, papa," murmured Phyllis, as
she threw her arms round his ncck
and kissed bim. "It was so kind of
you to give your cousent. I am so
happy. I thought you would, though,
wheu you knew what a Jong way
George had come to seek ma I"
"Oh, well! I guess it's not such a
very long way, afer all,
replied her
father. "England's only a little nlaoo
altogether, you know."
'Well," said George, "that's true ;

The elder man started at this obser

over.
"Well, George, my boy," he said,
as he shook his hand in a hearty grip,
"I'm trulv glad to have you for a son-in-law.
And, how's your fithcr?"
"M? father?" echoed Oeorge. "Ile'i
been dead this ten years or more!"
"What does all this mean?" cried
Mr. Mocrough, in amazement. "Am

riiyllis threw np her arms, and, with
a wild shriek, fell down on the thick
est part of the soft fur rug that lay be
fore tho fireplace, in what appeared
to be a dead faint.
Tho two men bent down nt tho sumo
time to attend to her, and bumped
their heads together, and everything
was confusion.
"My name's not Spnnder," said
fleorge, hurriedly, as bo rubbed his
bend with ono baud ami supportod
l'hyllis with his diseuoaged arm.
".My name's Rockerton, nnd I went
all thy way from college in America to
KiiL'lnnd. to secure your daughter."
The pen refuses to record Mr. Mon
rcugh's forcible language when ho was
thus suddenly male acquainted with
the fact that he had given his consent
to his daughter's marriage with tho
son of tho family to which ho had
sworn deadly hatred, and tho very

in a burst of hysterical tears, begged
forgiveness for tho little "misunder

her father cried. "Rut I have my

And Mr. Monrough has never I pen
able to decide iu his own mind wheth

The WinrJ Willi tlio Whip.
A decided sensation bus been created
in Vienna by a man who probably
stands alone in the world in his par
ticular litu of performance. Thin
gentleman's name is Piskslug and ho is
mi Atistro-Huugariiiu by birth. Ho
is an expert, or, rather, a phenomenal
urtist iu tho use of the whip.
The lir.st thing bo does is to take a
long-lashed, stout-handled whip iu
each band, mid, with orchestral ac
companiment, proceed to crack or
snap them ut u terrific rate. Tho
tona l ma lo by his w hips in this man
ner is graduated from a noise like a
rille report to the roft disk of a bill
iard ball. It makes a curious sort of
music, aud i-erves to show how he cau
regulate tho force of each stroke.
Moro interest, however, is evincod
when ho seizes a vicious-looking whip
with an abnormally long lush. It is
provided with a very heavy handle of
medium length. This is his favorite
toy, nnd what he can do with it is
really wonderful. He first gives an
idea of what fearful force there lies in
a whip lush in the hands of an expert.
A large frame, over which is
stretched a calf or sheep skin, is
brought on the stago. This is marked
with dots of red paint. Tho man with
the whip stops ui, and swinging tho
lush round his bead lets tly at the calf
skin. With every blow ho actually
pulls a piece right out from tho
leather, leaving a clean cut hole.
These pieces aro distributed among
the audience to show that .there is no
trickery about tho performuueo. Af
ter this he takes a frame with three
shelves. On these there aro a dozeu
or more of medium-sized apples lying
very close together and provided with
largo numbers. Anyoue iu the audi
ence may desiguate which apple he
wishes struck, and the unerring lash
snatches it out like a Hash. '
A still more difllcult feat is tho
snapping of coins from a narrow
necked bottle. A piece of silver
about the si.e of half a crown is put
over the cork of the bottle, which
stands on the edge of a table. The
whip artist, without appearing to take
any sort of aim, sends the long lash
whizzing through the air and picks off
the coin without jarring the bottle,
much less breaking it. Tit-Bits.
A Singular Jubilee.
A singular jubilee has just been
celebrated by a famous Austrian poli
tician, Dr. Smolka the fiftieth anni
versary of his condemnation to death.
As a young man Dr. Smolka was sent
euced for belonging to a treasonable
society, and only escaped the death
penalty through a general amnesty.
Afterward he beoame a loyal subject,
and rose to be President of the
