five degrees of the direction in which she may
happen to be. The other day a gentleman
spoke to her, and he Immediately threatened
suicide. His wife was dispatched for 9 bottle
of poison, which she had put up at the drug
gist's, consisting of little water, colored with
liquorice, in bottle with a glaring poison
label outside. When he Threatened to take
some of it, and actually poured 1t into wine
glass, she screamed for help and ran into an
other room, where she could watch him
through the key hole, and saw him coolly open
the window and throw it out. She then
rushed back apparently frantic with grief and
implored him not to do the rash. deed. He
merely pointed at the glass, and lying down
on the floor, began to kick out his legs like
jumping jack. She told him she was deter
mined to share his fate, and swallowed the
rest of the liquorice. water, whereupon he be-
came really frightened, calling the neighbors,
confessed that he only slammed, and said that
if she only survived he never would trouble
her again. Then she explained the ruse, and
he was SO mortified he tried to buy up the
silence of the neighbors, but the story was too
good to keep. He is thoroughly cured,

CHAPTER VIII.

We found Harry's presence great addi.
ton to our family circle. Nellie and himself
were constantly joking, and though my mind
was oppressed with sad and anxious thoughts,
it was impossible not to enjoy their fun.
Miss Nancy Turner was never-ending
source of amusement. She admired Harry
excessively, and in accordance with her gen.
eral rule of conduct, took no pains to con.
ceal it. On one occasion she expressed sur
prise at his not being married, and insisted
upon knowing the cause.

youth, Miss Nancy" was his reply.
81 thought it was something of that kind" "
she exclaimed "The first time l ever saw
you, l said you had dubious expression of
countenance can sympathize with you, for

like a worm, feed on the bud of my damask
cheek as Byron says"

eyes, think I aVould like to visit Cuba.
Were you there for any length Of time?"
"Several years. If you care to listen, l
should like very much to tell you ofan incident
which occurred while I was there. Perhaps
it may interest you, as you seem to be fond OF
the heroic"
II shall be delighted to hear it" said l,
only too glad that the conversation was re-
lapsing into generalities.
"It was in 1S-," said Mr.. Howard, "that
visited Cuba, with surveying party from
this country. We had been out nearly year
when the yellow fever ravaged that country.
We had physician with us, and by his ad-
vice we kept as far away from the sea coast
as possible. After seeing us encamped at
safe distance, he asked Colonel Gray, the su-
perintendent Of the work, to allow him to re-
turn to Havana. The Colonel objected for
some time, but at length gave his consent,
and our doctor left us to 60 to city where
death alone reigned, in order to try to help
some suffering fellow-being. Now, what do
you think of such man as that?"
II think everything that is good of him"
"I know you do," he replied. "His name
was Owen Morris" And with these words,
he left me.
Yes, he knew him and it was for Owens
sake that he had spent almost an hour in talk
ing to me. Owen Morris how long since
had heard that name but I thanked God,
that heard it now, for the first time for years,
connected with that which proved to me, how
good and noble he was. But had no right
to think of him, except as friend. The
"merely loving" days we're over; that is, If
they can be over, for those who have once
been what we were to each other. God help
those who, in following the path of duty,
trample under foot the love which is the life
of their own and another's heart.

CHAPTER TX.

Six months have elapsed, and in spite of
Nellie's aversion to the letter "W," she is
soon to become Mrs. Worthington. 1t was a
great trial to me to give up my darling sister
to any one but 1 had no right to be selfish,
and though it seemed as if the last ray Of
sunshine was being taken from my life, I
could rot murmur, for knew she would be
happy.
And for me, it was only to wander little
longer alone in the twilight, before the dawn
of the never-ending day Of eternity.

BURR AND MADAME JUMEL.

A New York letter says Most of your
readers have noticed the MADAME Jumel
case" which has been in litigation SO long in
the United States Courts. But many Of them
may not be aware that this Madame Jumel
was at one time the wife of Aaron Burr. She
became his wife in very extraordinary way.
After his return from Europe in his old age,
disgraced and dreaded man, Madame Jumel,
then perhaps fifty years Of age, called at the
Office on Nassau street in great style for those
days, with her carriage and liveried servants,
to consult him, as the best authority in New
York, concerning her real estate, which was
very extensive. Burr treated her with cour.
tesy, of which he was perfect master, and
piled to bis utmost his arts of compliment and
fattery, through which be had shared so many
victims. Madame Jumel, according to the
customs of the times, had been very superb.
cially educated, and was the more easily
duped by such man as Burr. She was &C.
com mpanied by her nephew, in whose interest
Burr at once manifested the most lively con-
Germ. The two were fattered and fascina-
ted. After few weeks Burr, though then
nearly or quite eighty years of age, made a
proposal Of marriage to the wealthy widow.
He was refused. He manifested none Of the
notifications Of Tilted swain, but went on
with his suit as if nothing had happened.
Madame Jumel was astonished and bewilder-
ed at such love making. At last he drove up
to her door one fine morning, bringing q cler.
gyman with him and declared that he had
come to be married. Madame was directed
to prepare herself without any unnecessary
delay at the toilet, and, fairly overborne by
mingled courtesies and commands, she at last
stood up by the side of her ancient beau and
spoke the fatal words, while every door and
window was crowded with the faces of the
wondering household servants. Burr thus
became master Of an immense amount of
property, with a lady thrown in. They start
ed at once on a wedding trip to Hartford,
Connecticut. Madame was the owner Of sew.
eral shares in a bridge, which was then regard.
ed wonderful investment. The stock was
in great demand. Burr persuaded her to sell
it, and when the proceeds were brought to her
she said, with true wifely submission "Give
it to my husbandw The tradition is that
Burr stuffed the bulky package Of bills into
his pocket and sewed them in, or got bis wife
to. On his return to New York he coolly de-
posted the money to his own account in the
bank, and soon after invested it in the locali-
ty of his early dreams of treason and con;
quest-the Southwest. Of course the money
was never heard of again. He disposed Of
large sums subsequently in the same manner,
till at last Madame Jumel, to save the remain
der of her fortune, was compelled to sue for q
divorce ON the ground of in6delity. .a :

NARROW.GAUGE RAILROADS.

The great favor narrow-gauge railroads
have met with in all parts of the country is
a proof of their adaptability to present re-
quirements. More particularly have they
been approved in the West, and al no distant
day will be built for all local purposes We
copy from the St. Louis Globe, the follow
ing statement which will show what has been
done in narrow-gauges: T. 'f'
St. Louis county railway, constructing, 81
miles in length. h. .i T.. =:
Cairo and St. Louis, $50 miles in length,
and forty miles of iron laid.
Kansas Central, 400 miles in length; 70 in
operation.
Big Sandy Valley, Kentucky; 156 miles
in length. Work commenced.
Denver and Rio Grande; length, 800 miles.
Now in operation 100 miles.
Bells Gap, Pa, II miles built; 60 miles
graded. :,
Pittsburg and Castle Shannon, completed
Ceredo, West Virginia; 30 miles in length
II miles finished.
Galena and South Wisconsin, partly under
contract.
Iowa Eastern, 1SO miles. Work progress
ing.
Louisville and Westport, Kentucky; work
progressing. Length, 25 miles.
Mississippi City and Memphis, 25 miles
finished. Length, 800 miles; work progress
ing.
North and South Georgia, will soon have
finished 65 miles,
Painesville and Youngstown, Ohio. Length,
AZ miles; 20 miles now in operation.
Utah Northern; % miles in operation.
Utah Southern, 400 miles in length; 35
miles completed.
Utah, Idaho and Montana, so miles under
contract. .,. ...
A narrow-gauge road is talked Of from San
Jose to Alvison. a...
Peachbottom, Penn; so miles; in course Of
construction.
Norfolk and Western Virginia, surveyed
and progressing; length, 800 miles. -
Besides the above, says CrefuWs Western
World, are a number of short lines, finished or
in different parts of the country.
In Canada, the Toronto, Bruce and Grey has
proven very successful. At the South, a
large number of miles is projected, which will
connect with the Cairo and St. Louis. A line
of three.feet gauge is also projected from St.
Louis to the Atlantic seaboard, and the east
ern end of the line is being vigorously pushed
forward and the St. Louis and Western
Railway is rapidly assuming shape, and will
form a link in the chain Of roads from the
Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. This state
ment does not include any Of the narrow
gauge projects on the southern coast, some of
which will, without doubt, be speedily COM
menced and energetically pushed.

THE BORROWING NUISANCE.

A correspondent of the Northwestern Farmer,
whose righteous indignation has been aroused
by those intolerable pests, unscrupulous bor-
rowers, writes to that paper as follows:
my neighbor wanted to borrow my shovel
would return it; in the evening. Evening
came, but no shovel The next evening it
was quietly returned to its accustomed hook
in the wood house, the blade covered over
one-halfits surface with coating Of dry NOR
tar. I pride myself on my clean and bright
shovels and hoes. Half an hours work with
an old knife blade, and the use Of a sheet of
sand paper, restored it.
"Another time he was building a pig pen.
The posts were too long, and his saw very dull:
Of course he borrowed mine, and ne sawed
of'a nail with 1.-THE posts had been used be-
fore. He sent his little boy to return the saw
with the message: Pa would q sent it and
got it filed, but he knowed you allus filed your
own saw, and it wouldn't take but few min
utes to sharp It again :'i .'.o. .n.."
Another neighbor borrowed the privilege
of getting water at my well. The we'll is
deep, and we draw with wiBdlass 1t is
hard for my wife to draw up q bucketful, for
she is feeble, and to save' her, I usually fill
the bucket before going away to my business.
As the well is in an out kitchen, leave the
filed bucket hanging in the curb. My neigh
Dor sneaks in, empties the bucket, and is
mean enough to go away without re6lling it.
Wife and conclude it is better to suffer
wrong than have difficulty with anear neigh.
Dor, and 30, for the sake of peace, we submit
to this wear and tear of soul and body. When
the same person borrows -four, for the best
article poor one is returned. Eggs, matches,
"a drawin' O. tea are never returned.
II might increase to great length a record
of these examples, but my object is only to
illustrate the position taken that the habitual
borrowers code is a lax. one. This may be
partially accounted for By the fact that. the
independent, self:reliant portion of the com.
munity seldom borrow, and the practice is
mostly left to people Of the opposite kind.
"Among honest men, borrowing may be
made convenience, and mutually beneficial.
YET think, the question is worth consider.
ing, whether it does not demoralize a man
weaken his self!reliance We get to relying
on our neighbors more and more, for the things
we ourselves ought to procure. On the whole,
my advice is to borrow only in case Of great
need, when you cannot get along without do
ing so" .
