wing of the building in which the tragedy
occurred was closed up, and Mrs. Moworay
removed to a bedroom up stalts.
On the fifth day after the funeral, post
chase drove up to the door If Harwck Hall,
and from it stepped George Mowbray, look
ing better than he had looked for many
long day before he left home. The servant
who Oueued the hall door started back. and
almost dropped with fright His exclama-
tious caught the ears of Mrs. Mowbray and
her sons, who FASTENED back into the en-
trance hall, only ia their torn to be dumo>
founded. George was as much astounGed as
any of them. and gazed from one to the
other, perfectly lost in bewiIdered SURPRISE
There was no doubt aboutlt George New
bray, whom every body believed dead and
his grave, was living aud before them.
"Nsther.' said George, advancing toward
her, what is the matter2 My return is
easily accounted for. On reaching Tawva'e,
found that my uncle's family had been IN
expectedly summoned to London. as my ed
est cousin, Sir John Gray's wife, was thought
to be dying. | took nights repose and
then started home again. and here | am ~
Mrs. Now bray walked up to him. gazed
into his face, and then. without a word, fulG-
I'd him in a passionate embrace. Each of
his brothers grasped his hands and kissed
him as they had been wont to do when he
was Il boy and the pet of the family. The
old nurse, aroused from her nosn-day slum~
Der, embraced and wept over him, aud the
servants gathered round with wet eyes and
coneratulatory explanations.
All this time, George knew rothing Cf tie
/ true reason for this singular reception. But
/ the mystery was soon explG'Ee TO him.
. The effect upon him cannot be described.
NJ asures were imne lately taken to have
tie body of the man who had been buried as
F George MUwbray disinterred. This was soon
: done: and. as tho living George stood before
the dead man, the semblauce was seen to
/ be the most Extraordinary. The marks on
( the face and hands correspondcd with those
on Georges. The scars on the legs we're
similar also and the hair. eyebrows, and
fuger-nails were marvelOusIy alike, Who
the dead man was. was never asCcrtained.
After Georges return, however, inquiries
were made, such as it was never deemed
needful to make so long as the dead man
was supposed to be Mrs Mon bray's yeuDg~
est son.
These inquiries led to the discovery that
the day before the tragedy three men, sup
posed to be from London took up their
quarters at an inn in a neighbcring ge.
one Of whom the landlord thought he recoG
uizad as having been in Mrs. Mowbray's
service as a groom. The footsteps Of three
persons were also discovered in the garden,
and some time after, a rOpe-ladder and a
horse trough. which had apparently been
used to lay upon the spikes at the top OF the
garden wall, were discovered in the neigh>
boring copse. But the name Of tho dead
man was never discovered.

gloss and freshness Of yOnth. Thin
hair is thiciened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that new
growth of hair is produced Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
It's occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.

"TREATING." IL there is anything more
absurd than this habit, we are unable 10 put
our finger upon it.
Men do not always "treat'' one another TO
car tickets, because they happen to meet on
the same seat. We never saw man on en-
counter ing an acquaintance. take cut his
pocket book and say, "Ah. George! delight
cd to see you! Do take a few postage stamps
It's my trsat!"
DO men have a mania for paying each
others board bills? And is drinking togel her
more "social' than eating together or sleeps
ing together?
a traveller may 90 all over the continents
of Europe, Asia and Africa, without seein g
any man except Yankee offer TO ''treat -
and Frenchmen are quite social enough. but
when they 60 into a cafe to sip their wines,
or branded coffee together, each man pays
for his own. When two Germans, long sep
arated, meet. they will be very apt to EN-
brace, and turn into an adjoining beer saloon
sit down. drink lager, eat pretzels and talk:
but when they part again each man settles
his own score independently. So in Italy
The Italians are proverbially merry and gen
erous, but each man pays for his own wine
maCCaroui and cigars. They never 60 into
/ each others pocket book in the sacred name
/ Of friendship. They would as soon think
/ Of transferring to each other their washer
woman's bill.
/ The preposterGus fashion of treating" is
responsible for the terrible Drunkenness in
America.
There would be as.litte need of temperance
/ societies and as little work for the Good lem
! plars as there is in Germany, France anC
Italy, if this preDicious aud iusidious habi
was abolished. 1t is, take it all in all, tn,
most ridiculous, the most unreasonable. anC
