The young man addresSed as Paul raised
his eye-glass and looked long and steadily at
the young girl, and replied : 'That is Mira

'Why do you call her the marble hearted ?
It seems a strange name to bestow upon a
beamilail woman'
'Yes, it is a strange name, but very appro
priate for yonder lady, who, es the story goes,
is like the ie4bergs of the Petit. Sea.'
'I do not question Ole fitness of the name;
I only ask why it was given her She is by
Tar the most beautiful girl in the room'
'Yes, she is beautiful,' replied Paul, 'but'
as heartless as she is pretty. She has had
half the gentlemen in the room at her feet,
but treats them all alike,' said P,ul bitterly
Ile had been among the rrjscted. 'She is
heartles , ,, and it is a great mystery to us all.'
Warren Ddgon smiled and said: 'Please

'Boy's hearts often bend where men's
break-, said Paul.
Warren Dagon was introduced, and was
seen floating with her through the intricate
mazes of the dance. He paid her the most
assiduous attention throughout the evening
Mira knew him by report to be a gentleman
of unbounded wealth and extensive travel.
In his company, as the hours swept swiftly
by, her interest deepened all the while in
her noble admirer. her young heart beat
as it had never done before.
She listened, spell-bound to his conversa
tion, thereby awakening a jealous indignation
of a dozen other less fortunate admirers.—
They felt themselves igrievei, for she al
ways treated them with such cool indiffer
ence. One lady, resplendent in brocade and
diamonds, muttered through her shut teeth,
'The marble-hearted is warming it last.'
Mira drank in the tones of his softly mod.
elated voice, taking no note of time. When
supper was announced he led her. to the ta
ble. During the repast she watched him
narrowly, and when wine was served her face
became pals with excitement. She offered
him a glass with a smile , ; he gave her a
searcbing•.look,. refused it, calling for water
in its stead; Turoitig to her, be said :
vannotyledge yon,with wine, for -I do

my fair young sister who died three years
ago I shall never again meet a spirit like
hers, so proud, an pure and free. Elsie was
but seventeen when she gave her beafl to
Atwell Chandler. He, loved the wine cup
better. He was no ordinary man; many
and rich were the gifts bestowed upon him
by nature, He was a dark-haired man, in
eyes of rare depth and feeling He was very
handsome; in manner he was gentlemanly
and pleasing. We all loved him; father loved
him like a son; and so gave him Elsie. They
were married and went to dwell in hie beau-
tiful home in the South, and for a few years
they were , very happy.
" 'Then Atwell began to neglect his business
for a downward path, which ended in a
drunkard's grave. Five years from her bri

keep my secret,' I replied She smiled and
whispered. 'I am going to sleep; good night
dear sister.' It was a very lung nig•hr. to me.
fur ere the rising of the morning star, Elsie,
my beautiful sister, had gone to meet her
God.
'There was not one of my circle of friends
and acquaintance who refused wine in the
festive halls, and many of them imbibed free
ly of stronger stimulants. I turned coldly
from them all There was nothing to at

`Yes, tilt yon came; and though I loved
you dearly, had you drunk that glass of wine
I should have refused to marry you. Oh,
Warren, you can never know what unutter

'May Heaven and the spirit of' your sweet
sister help me to be worthy of your love,
for it was the happiest hour of my life when
I met with Mira,. the marble hearted,' said
be. smiting.
'Yea, it wasa happy hour. and I know by
the sweet content of my heart to-oight, that
the spirit of Elsie is smiling upon me for
having so faithfully kept my promise.'
Few Drunkards Reform.
The following solemn words are from the
Christian Secretary.
Facts show that of the vast army of the
intemperate—of the 500,000 in our land,
who are wending their way toward a drunk •
ard's doom, comparatively few are reformed
—only here and there one is saved. The
deceptive power of appetite and habit. like
some evil spirit, blindfolds its capeives, lead
ing them speedily to utter ruin. o..anpao
ions in dissippation encourage and embolden
one another, and present a united front a
gainst saving influence. Together they drown
the voice of admonition in the cup, together
they cheer the way to death with songs of
revelry, and fortify their hearts against God
and salvation by ridicule of true and serious
things. Thus they are held fast under the
bonds of iniquity. The mother sees her son
in• the path of the destroyer, and goes after
him with prayers and pleading tears, but alas,
the bands of sin have already grown too
strong for the ties of filial affection. The son
revels on, though he knows be is mingling
for her the cup of unutterable anguish.—
The sister'a gentle and, tender entreaties are
added, but. only to be spurned for the cup of
intoxication. With all her blessed mioistries
she cannot lead him back to life.

lamities that embitter existence, it is the
petty vexatious, the small jealousies, the
little disappointmonti, the minor miseries,
that make the heart heavy, and the temper

words of the psalmist, •yet' never have I seen

As if in answer to this pious ejaculation,
there came a sudden knock at the door. All

For it was in the kitchen that this oonver.
saPion took place. Indeed this humble house
boasted no parlor, and the kitchen was di.

'See here, 'lama,' said his wife eagerly,
when he returned to, the house 'I found
this on the tube near where the gentleman

It was a $5O greenback, wrapped hastily
in a bit of paper that looked as if it had been
torn from a pocket book, and on the inside
of the gaper was written the verse ot.the
TNalmist. which it new appears the traveler
had over heard,

His wife burst into tears
'God for ,, ive sho said. will never
doubt again. The Lord surely sent this
stranger to our aid '
'And ho will provide,' replied her hus
band. 'Whatever my lot may be, here or
elsewhere, io Him I trust,'
A month later a letter, a rare event, came I
to. the 'Rev James Spring.' It was as tol
lows : •Rev. and dear sir—The church at
Marysville has unanimously called you to , its
pastorate. The salary is fifteen hundred and
a good parsol , age house. The writer of this,
first came to know you

ving place in a broad and fertile .valley, at
the loot of the hills. It was a far fitter
sphere of labor for a man of the minister's
abilities than the wild village in the moun
tains.
So a young man as yet without a family
took the missionary church among tho bills.
and the Rev. James Spring accepted the
call.
Bat he does not forget the past, and of
ten when people, show a want of faith, tab
them the story of his Last Dollar,

The old lady was ready, and hardly wait
ing to hear the last word, she broke out et
the top of her lungs; 'I told yon so ! I told
you so ; I ,You alorna would let it stand • out

A little five yearzold boy was being io.
etructed io morals by his mother. The old
lady told him that all each terms as 'by

only•rnroced oaths, and but little better than
any other profanity. In fact. she said, he
could tell a profane. oath by the prefix 'by'—
all such were oaths.

The Affeetionate Brothei'g
'ff--Tlitrfollowing- extraordinary- lostm.
the affeftion of three brothers (though pa

Fight Your Way Up•
The many who have to take th't world
rough and tumble ore prone to envy the few
who roll through it unjolted in cushioned ve
hi,les on parent springs. The toiler, us

stumbles through its thorny thickets and
olimhs over its foot-hlisterine gravel, is apt
to curse the ill luck that placed him on such
a hard road, and to sigh for u seat in ono of
the splendid equipage that glide so smoothly
over Fortune'-s ruccadainizei turnpike Born
with a, pewter spoon in his month, he covets
the silver one which was the birthright of
his well-to-do-neighbor. Occupation is the
*immediate jewel' of life. It is true that
riches are no bar-to exertion. Quite the re
verse, when their uses are properly under-
stood. But th e discounted worker who
pines for, wealth, without being willing to la
bor for it, regards the idleness in which it
would enable him to live as the acme of tem
poral happiness Ho has no idea,of money
as a great motive power, to he applied in en
terprises that give healthful employment to
mind and body All to loaf luxuriously.—
We have no sympathy with such sensuous
longings. People who indulge in them nev
er acquire wealth. They lack the energy to
break their way to the worldly indepeodeuce
for which they yearn and whine They don't
know bow much more glorious it is to tear
affluence from opposing late by main strength
of will and idfleitibility of purpose, than to
rebeive it as a windfall. There is infinitely
more satisfaction in conquering a fortune
than.was ever experienced by a
~'incky heir'
in obtaining the golden store which some
thrifty hand had accumulated. Your scci

success- of honest exultation with which the
self-made man looks back upon the impedi
ment he has overcome, and forward into the
far future, which he has earned the right

A MAN Wno itAS NOT SLEPT post Four?.
YttAus.—The Lannister Express says : A
very singular ease of wakefulness has just
been brought to our notice. A man named
flerr, a cabinet maker, residing in Lampoter
Square, and about sixty years of age, has not
had a half• hour's continuous sleep for nearly
four years. The case was thus stated to us:
About four years since, a daughter of Mr..
Herr became ill, and Mr. ff. watched at her
bed.ide, day and night, for six week's, when
she died. All this time he took no sleep,
stating that he felt no drsire for it. A few
days- after the death of his slamibter he ran a
nail into his foot, and this orto&necl him to his
bed for seven or eight weeks, not an hour of
which time could, he obtain sleep. After re;
covery from biti wound he still failed to Obtain
rest from sleep, and so the matter continues: ,
to go on from week to month, and from
month to year. His health has suffered, and
he complains of great debility.... Re nO ,
plied to a leading physician of ,this city,
who prescribed for him a strong opiate, but
it had no mere effect upon him. as ha. asp,
than a snap of- his finger. Re again ap
plied to the same physician, requesting that
the dose be increased. To this the physician,
objected, stating that it would be dangerous.
fie said he did not care, and another opiate
was prepared strong enough, it is alleged, to
put three or four ordinary men to sleep and
never wake up again. This had no better ef
fect than the first,, and the p'kys'cian refused
to administer any more doses of that
_kind s
but advised his patieer,as-a last resort; to get

has not yet been tried, and it may be a ques
