4 "Well, well, | can't sec what I wal
thinking Of" And then came another
sigh, as Of mingled relief and regret
and then he discovered that his sistel
was crying a little. M
"Why, Classy, what is that for ?
he said, gently,
81 am SO glad. I was SO afraid you
would fancy her again"
"Cassy,p said Mr. Deyine, speaking
with great deliberation, as the car,

! Mr.. Hassan had come home onlthe
late train, and his mother had little
supperready for him, and instead Of
going back TO bis solitary den behind
his office, Sydney stayed to partake OF
the little repast, for neither he nor his
sister had taken supper at the prest
dents. hi " hGs d
A cloud seemed, in some mysteri-
GUS manner, to have lifted from the
face Of creation, and to have dispersed
itself ih-empty air. a9a W
How pretty his sister looked in her
blue silk. Classy was an uncommonly
elegant woman; he wondered he had
never noticed it before, What an ex-
cellent fellow was his brother-in-law;
what a charming old lady was Mrs.
Hassan the elder. What delightful,
well-ordered, home-like palace was
the housel Where had his wits been
that hitherto all these things had
never seemed to claim from him more
than listless, halt-weary interest p
He had not talked so much before in
years, and he made a good supper,
and then fed bits off his fork to the
cat, which she, much condescending,
took daintily.
He felt like man who has dreamed
of wandering long, heavily burdened,
through waste places. and who wakes
to find himself safe in the familiar
room, with the visionary load left be-
hlnd In the land OF visions. m
Before he went away, be had
promised to think about an oft-repeat-
ed proposal TO make his home with
his brother-in law. He thought to
such good purpose, that before the
week had come TO an end he was es.'
tabfshed under his sisters roof, to
that lady's great contentment.
He saw Mrs. Armer two or three
times before she ended her visit; in
deed, she came to him 10 consult him
about a lawsuit in which she was en-
gagged with her husbands relatives,
but Mr., Devine informed her that the
matter was out of his line Of praqlice,
Once and again he encountered his
old love, but With no more dangerous
emotions than eyer-increasing disgust,
The once sweet, unconventional art
lessness was vulgarity; the grace, af-
tectation; the silyery laugh, sounding
brass. l.I
With delight, he felt himself free
man, and he threw himself into his
profession with renewed ardor, and
each new day seemed revelation of
life. N'.a N' y
Mrs. Armer did not prolong her
visit, and in few days fitted away, 20
the undisguised relief OF Mrs. Vale,
AS for Mr.. Devines ng-cherished
love, the angel ofresurrectioh might
have called for it in vain. The craven
image, after reigning for years in
temple meant for a holier worship,
crumbled into dnst at the first sun
beam Of reality that shone into the
shrine.-From The 4laine for Augatst.

THE OLDEST CITY.

Damascus is the oldest city in the
world. Tyre and Sidon have crum-
bled on the shore. Baalbec is a
ruin, Palmyra is buried in desert,
Ninevah aud Babylon have disappear
ed from the Tigris and Euphrates, -
Damascus remains what it was before
the days of Abraham-a centre Of
trade and travel-an island OF
verdure in the desert; presidential
capital, with martial and sacred
associations extending through thirty
centuries. 1t was near Damascus
that Saul of Tarsus saw the light
above the brightness of the sun; the
street, which is called Strait, in
which it was said he prayed still
runs through the city. The caravan
comes and goes as it did thousand
years ago; there is still the shick, the
ass and the water wheel; the mer-
chants OF the Euphrates and the
Mediterranean still occupy these with
the multitude of their wares. The
city which Mohamed surveyed from a
neighboriug height and was afraid to
enter, as it was given to man to have
but one paradise, and for his part he
was resolved not to have it In this
world; is to day what Sullivan called
the eye of the East, as it was in the
time of Isaiah, the head Of Syria. II
is still city Of flowers; the streams
of Lebanon and the silk Of gold still
murmur and sparkle in the wilder
ness Of the Syrian gardens.

in fairly melting one Of the directors.
She was not a young woman, not
particularly pretty, perhaps, but
interesting, and she had tears in her
eyes, and $50 in the bank. She
rushed frantically to one Of tho
directors, and asked him If he could
not draw her money II am very

And section 20 Of the Same act
says: ifH

ration or firm, for money borrowed,
including inthe liabilities facompEny
or firm the liabilities Of the several
members thereof, shall at no time ex-
ceed one-tenth part Of the amount Of
the capital stock Of such association
actually paid in.
The capital Of this bank being
$500, 900, Mr.. Cooke had no right to
loan any person or firm over $50, 600
or one.tenth OF his capital, and this
on good security. For this cGu-
nivance or theft, his punishment is
imprisonment for not less than FIVE
years.
1t happens TO he the duty Of Mr..
Attorney General Williams TO indict
and prosecute this man Cooke. Mr..
Attorney General Williams happens
to be an appointee Of President U.

happens to be Especial" depositor

peoples money is stolen, and thus

lends himself to designing scoun-

connives at robberies and debauches

JonN G.. SAKE. The San Francis
co Bulletin in noticing the diamond
edition Of John G. Saxe's poems,
writes the following deserved words
of praise Of that distinguished man
"Saxe himself, artistically consid-
cred, has something Of the bright
ness and preciousness Of the dia-
mond. He still holds his own--still
occupies that proud eminence Of be-
ing Americas wittiest poet. Others
have written more brilliant things,
but who has written SO uniformly
we'll? Who has written so much
that it is pleasant to remember and
repeat, so little that one cares to for
get? II is at least thirty-fiye years
since "The Proud Miss Mcbride"
was given to the world, and it still
holds its place as one of the most
perfect poems in the language. Had
SAKE written nothing else his position
in literature would have been fixed. +"

The regulation of the Cunard steam

But on this particular steamer there

tleman and his family could not go

The royal party had been signalled
BY telegraph-a government tug and
officials were on hand. One hum
dred and two trunks were carefully
lifted over everything else, the trunks
and their owners-Mr Henry d,
Cooke and party--placed in the tug
which landed directly in New York,
Whether the ona hundred and two
trunks were examined by the Custom
house officers or not we do not
know. All these three long
cold. hours over one hundred other
passengers we're shivering with the
cold, and not allowed to stir from
the ship. When the Royal party had
been thus disposed Of, the other PAS

the usual manner at Jersey City,
with the usual Custom house annoy
auces and details. The velyets,

the cargo of trunks and content were
