goes a step further than any Of the male

A bankers clerk, accustomed TO such
work. has furnished a calculation OF what
the compound interest and principal of the
Pacific railroad subsidy bonds would amount
to in thirty years, the time the bonds have
to run. Tho principal, being all bonds
issued to the Pacific railroads, is 64.500.Ooo
In twelve years the interest and principal
would amount to Sl29.7S6, GSi-more than
double the original amount In twenty
years it would amount to SOC. SSS, 1854: in
twenty five years. to $276, S63, 966; in thirty
years the total, principal and interest, would
be $3.50, 476, 1919, being $6i.50o, 900 original
principal, and s3O5,976,l23 interest. IL
twenty years after that, the principal and
interest would amount to more than on
present national debt.

The Boston HcroN is gloating over the
fact that the Michigan Southern Railroad
has outdonc the danglty Fisk in the matter
of palace cars, having produced one which
cost $4,000. The main features OF this
movable palace are that it has water pipes
running around the sides, so that water can
be obtained by the occupants of the cars
without rising from their seats. bridal
chamber with bed like down, and with a
white satin coverlid and innumerable mir
rors. and extra sized platforms with facili-
ties for promenading, and a wire fence to
prevent accidents to prOmenaders: The
Western railroad cars, of late years, have
been very luxurious, but this last one must
surpass them all.

TOO MUCH IN LOVE.

"And he's really coming back,
Leonard? How strange it will be to
see him again. And very rich, you
say.
The speaker was still lovely wo-
man of some thirty-nine or forty
years, with the soft, fair skin and
abundant hair,and smooth brow, that
had been hers when she gave her
hand to Leonard Tremaine nineteen
years before.
ale is, Custance. Does my wife
regret her choice and all the self
denial it has entailed on herP' he
asked with a tinge Of sadness in
his tone.
"No, no-a thousand times no,
dear Leonard. 1 have been happy
oh! so happy, in my quiet home
with you and our own darling, only
it brings back the memory of the
past, and our promises, Leonard.
"Why not, my love Do you not
believe in Cuthbert Pendennis? Do
you doubt that our child will be safe
with him?"
81 should have been safe, but not
happy, Leonard. May it not be so
with our Adeline?"
The husband pressed his wife
fondly to him. 1t was something to
the modest clergyman with his five
hundred a year and "no expecta-
tions," that he should be preferred
to the wealthy possessor of as many
thousands, for at that figure the in
come of the long absent Mr.. Pen
dennis was rated by his friends.
at was perhaps a rash promise,
Custance, but it was given in the
fullness and the happy sympathy Of
my heart when l wen my sweet bride
from my generous rival and was
ready to do aught but yield her up
as consolation for his misery
"And 1 did not hear of it till our
darling was born" she said, half re-
proachfully. "And oh, Leonard, she
is such a bright, joyous creature, to
be sentenced to an unloVing marri-
age with man old enough to be her
father Besides, I do belive Horace
Dasant is seriously in love with her,
and he would be such a charming
match for her; so young and hand
some, and well born. She cannot
help liking him, Leonard"
"My daughter is too high prin-
cipled and too generous to fail in re.
deeming her fathers PROMISE" said
Mr.. Tremaine, firmly. 81 told Cuth-
bert Pendennis that if it pleased
Heaven to bless me with a daughter
and if he wished to sonsole himself
for his rejection by her mother, and
deemed her capable Cfsuch compen.
sation, she should be his. 1t may
well be that when the time arrives
he would have no desire for such 6
thing in his habits and mode of life
or that Adeline may fail to attract
