LITTLE CAUSES, LARGE EFFEcrs.-Splash
went little stone into pool, and bubble
and circle showed where it fell. Then came
circle beyond, fainter but larger. Another
came round that, then another, and another,
each fainter and larger, till the last reached
the margin of the pool, and moved the rushes.
"Something very important must have hap
pened," said the rushes, "by the size OF the
circle"
"No, gentlemen" said willow that tower
ed above them. II can see over the pool,
and I assure you the first circle from which
this, through succession Of others, took its
rise, was very small, and had most insgni6-
cant origin but have often noticed of little
things and their report, that the longer they
live the larger they grow, till the effect at
last bears no proportion to its cause"

and big glare, and rushes into Molly, anc
1 says
But Edmund, waiting not to hear the enc
of this lengthy discourse, rushed out to dis
cover the true state of affairs, and the fright
ened Estelle followed him.
Jacks information had been correct The
western wing of the house, which was mod
ern addition, was entirely enveloped in thick
smoke, and bright tongues of flame were seen
leaping up from the roof How the fire had
originated, and how it could have progressed
30 far before it was discovered, were matters
of wonderment; but there was no time to in
dulge in speculation now. The frig htened
negroes we're collected, and every effort was
made to suppress the advance Of the Destroy
ing element. Edmund placed himself at the
head of affairs, and gave clear and rapid or
ders, himself working with an energy that
gave an example to the rest. In this wing
was Estelle's chamber, a great portion of
which was injured beyond repair before they
could do anything to check the fire.
Why did Estelle turn so deathly pale, as
standing with chattering teeth and clasped
hands, she murmured to herself in tones of
thrilling apprehension and fear
"My desk-my desk! Oh heavens, if
only had it here"
Her desk-yes, that was the repository Of a
fatal secret-a secret hitherto so rigidly guar
ded as to preclude all possibility Of discovery.
In private drawer, known only to herself,
lay that momentous document-Mr. Richard
Blandford's last will
Impelled by resistless terror, she rushed
frantically toward the burning rooms; but
Edmund meeting her drew her firmly back.
"Estelle, are you crazy? You cannot 60 in
there! You will suffocate, or be crushed to
death. Go away; don't you suppose I will do
all 1 can to make things safe ?"
At this moment Della appeared, wringing
her hands.
"Mss Estelle, for the Lords sake come to
missus! She says everybody's deserted her,
and she's taking on awful. think she'll
kill herself if something amt done to quiet
her."
"Go to her, Estelle, for mercy's sake" said
Edmund, "and entreat her not to be alarmed !;
tell her the rest of the house is in no danger
whatever. Remember your responsibility
she is totally helpless, and Mr.. Blandford is
away"
Thus adjured, Estelle had no alternative
but to obey. Shivering with suppressed agi-
tation, and with wild, scared look in her
eyes, she silently followed Della to her moth
er's room, where for the next hour she found
enforced occupation in ministering to the in
valid, whose excitement caused by sudden
fright, was so extreme~as to render it a matter
of fdifficulty to restore her to anything like
composure
In the meantime several of the neighbors
had come over, the negroes having speedily
spread the alarm and by their united efforts
the fire was ere long subdued, though not be-
fore the western wing was in ruins.

The INVISIBLE CH1LDREN.-Itis is not when
your children are with you it is not when you
see and hear them that they are most to you
it is when the sad assemblage is gone; it is
when the daisies have rusumed their growing
again in the place where the little form was
laid; it is when you have carried your chill
dren out and said farewell, and come home
again, and day and night are full of sweet
memories; it is when summer and winter are
full of touches and suggestions of them it is
when you cannot look up toward heaven with
out thinking of them it is when they are
gone out of your arms, and are living to you
only by the power of imagination, that they
are the most to you. The invisible children
are the realest children-the children that
touch our hearts as no hands of flesh could
ever touch them.

ANECDoTE OF THE RAIL.-Some years
ago there were engaged upon the Boston and
Providence Railroad two men, as engineers,
who are now eminent as master mechanics OF
railroads. They we're both skillful men. AS
they ran regular trains, they each had loco
motive which they ran daily, and they be-
came as much attached to their machines as
any gentleman will be to fine horse. They
could perform any task with them, and OBJ
tain such speed out of them as no other engi-
neer could. One of them, whom we will call
Green, used to say that he could stop his en-
CINE within an inch of mark to be put up
on the track. In fact, he used to do it at the
Roxbury shop frequently (when the cold
man" meaning the master mechanic, was not
aboard) to his admiring associates. The 9th
er man-Brown-was equally proud of his
machine You would think he had circus
trick horse to hear him talk. These men, of
course, had little rivalry between them,
which was always encouraged by the other
boys on the road. Green stated one day that
he would hang up his gold watch on the back
of Browns tender, and would run fifteen hun
dred feet at full speed, and stop with his
draw.bar within one inch of the watch.
He was dared to do it. He accepted the
challenge and accomplished what he said he
could. Brown was astonished at the daring
of his associate, and concluded that if he did
not take the wind out of his sails his (Brown's)
fame would be under cloud. So he said
that it was luck on Green's part that he
could not do it again; would he bet So. The
bet was accepted, and Green sailed back to
the starting point, and in due time came back
at full speed and went at Browns tender with
an awful whack. The watch was somewhat
enlarged specifically; it was quite thin, and
the crystal was in more than one piece. AS
time-keeper its avocation had ceased entire
ly. The reason of the smash-up was, Brown
had quietly moved his machine several inches
by leaking steam into cylinders This he had
managed to do unperceived by the bystand-
ers, who were very intently watching Green's
movements The latter was wonder-struck at
the failure of his feat, but be never for mo-
ment supposed that Brown had played him
false. He never tried the thing again. In
after years Brown presented him with valu-
able watch, with due explanations, which was
to the receiver an astonished revelation.

A GU1NEASERMoN-We have from the old
country the story of dissenting minister who
was paid to preach sermon on some special
occasion in the chapel of neighboring towr.
AS the congregation was not very rich, he
was informed beforehand that they could not
pay him more than guinea for his discourse.
When the service was over he received in the
vestry the congratulations of the elders, who
were loud in their estimation of his eloquence.
He turned around upon them with almost
smile of contempt, and said, "Do you call
that an eloquent sermon I should just like
you to hear one of my three guinea ones" !"

CARE OF THE PIANO OR ORGAN.-Instru-
ments of this kind should be closed when not
in use, in order to prevent the collection of
dust, pins, etc., on the sound-board, and also
to preserve the strings and faction" from the
ill.eAects of sudden changes of temperature.
Nothing Injuries piano so much as extreme
heat, whether arising from bright fire in
front of it, or what is worse, the heated air
from the furnace Care should be taken to
prevent moisture of any kind getting between
the keys, as it causes them to stick. Moths
are very destructive to pianos, and should be
kept out by lump of camphor wrapped in
paper in the inside corner.

THE MYSTERIOUS Box.-A station keeper
near London received one day box Of
very mysterious appearance, addressed to him
in his official character. Opening it he found
healthy infant. 1t was not his fancy to
rear other peoples children, and he thrust it
aside; the porter, taking pity on the infant,
and with the consent of the agent, determined
to adopt it. When the child was lifted
from its crib e8O0 sterling were found in the
box. The station master Immediately be-
came interested in the little one, but the
humane porter declared he was too late. The
moral is obvious.

b@ The New York Economist says there
will be a large reduction this year in the
rent of stores and still greater in that of
dwelling houses. Real estate has fallen great
ly in the commercial metropolis, and rents
must fall in proportion. In New Jersey and
Long Island great number of houses have
been recently built, which are quite as acces-
sible as city residences, and will come in com.
petition with these, and still farther depress
city rents. "To Let" is already seen in unu-
sually large quantity in the principal thor
ough-fares Business of all sorts is dull, and
everything dependent on it must sympathize
with it.

LITTLE CoNJuRERs-"I am fond Of chill
dren," said the late DR.. Binney. IL think
them the poetry of the world, the fresh flow
ers of our hearths and homes-little conjurers,
with their natural magic" evoking by their
spells what delights and enriches all ranks
and equalizes the different classes of society.
Only think, if there was never anything
anywhere to be seen but great grown'up men
and women! How we should long for the
sight of a little child Every infant comes
into the world like delegated prophet, the
harbinger and herald of good tidings, whose
office it is to turn the fathers to the children,
and to draw the disobedient to the wisdom OF
the just A child softens and puri6es the
heart, warming and melting it by its gentle
presence; it enriches the soil by new feelings,
and awakens within what is favorable to vir-
tue. 1t is beam of life, fountain of love,
teacher whose lessons few could resist. In:
fants recall US from much that engenders and
encourages sel6shness, freezes the affections,
roughens the manners, indurates the heart /;
