CHAPTER Y.

Weeks had passed away, and there
was another grand entertainment.
"Miss TrevaniOn, the rooms are heated
will you walk with me to the greenhouse?
You will find the change refreshing, and
] have something to say to you, if you
will be good enough to hear me-"
Julia Trevanion, proud and self-sus-
tained as she was, trembled visibly as
the deep voice reached her ear. The mo-
ment that she had so dreaded and striven
so hard to put off, had come at last. She
knew we'll enough what he wished to say,
for his speaking eyes had told her
the story long ago; and the heart that
she had fancied lay cold and dead in her
bosom had learned 10 thrill beneath their
glauces. What was it about this man
that moved her 50, that won her respect
and admiration against her will2 What
was it that made her dream of her girl
hood and it's golden visions every time
she looked into his face, or heard his
voice. Did she love him2 Had she
proven recreant to her faith TO the dead
A thousand times, no, No living love
would ever suPplant the sweet memory
of that early dream no living face drive
the image of that dear face from her
heart. Yet she trembled, and felt her

gold-colored elk cleaned strangely in
/ dusky moonlight, and her expectant,
dropping face, crowned by its coronet OF
raven hair, had never before seemed halt
50 wondFous in its beauty. He folded
his arms across his breast, and stood gaz
! ing down upon her, his eyes full OF an
| ipdegcribabie mournfulness.

Simple, short avOwal, yet it thrille,

my agent this morning, and the latest
London papers"
Go on sir, " Julia said, her voice
sounding hcarse and unnatural.
The 'Albatross, ," he continued,
" took fire on the Indian ocean, and every
soul, except couple of sailors, persisted.
My agent had seen these men, and as
|ured me that poor Maurice was Ger
tainly lost"
For at least five minutes after the
fatal announcement the silence of the
grave reigned; at least her uncle cleared
his throat once or twice, and said in a
constrained voice go You must not
take this sOrrowful dispensation too

we must submit to His will"

her face from her hands, so white and
changed by the few moments of agony
she had endured, that her uncle regarded
her in panied surprise.

dear, allow me"
''Oh, uncle-uncle! she broke out
passiOnately, you hoped it would not
affect me to hear that he was gone

hour | lived was prayer for his return?
Oh, you are cold, cruel, heartless it was
your hand that parted us, and sent him
away. And / loved him-Oh, l loved
him and now my heart is broken! All,
heaven, that Egyptian was a wizard
the crescent is gone-the glory has de-
parted from the TrevaniOns"
She arose and tottered from the room,
wringing her slender hands in agony.
" She takes it hard, f." unused her uncle,
returning to his unread letters; but she
will oulive if. Gods dispensations are
all wise and just"

DoN'T Box Your CHILpREN's EARS.
The drum of the ear is as thin as pa
per, and is stretched like a curtain be-
tween the air outside and that within
and thus having nothing to support it,
and being extremely delicate, a slap
with the hand on the side of the face,
made with the force which sudden and
violent anger gives it, has in multitudes
of cases ruptured this delicate mem
brane, resulting in the afflictiou of deaf
ness for lite. As the right hand is almost
always used, it is the left ear which is
striken; this aids in accounting for the
fact that the left ear is more frequently
affected with deafness than the right.

The English are somewhat alarmed at
the danger which their great ironclads
would run N time of war from tOrpedoes
like the Whitehead torpedo. It is in
sisted that the British navy should pos
sess the newest and most varied means of
launching torpedOes of every kind
against the enemy. The Whitehead
torpedo can be directed against an
enemy's ship l 900 yards, and in partial
darkness the vessel bearing it would be
able 10 approach any large ship without
danger. The simultaneous attack Of
three torpedo boats would thus imPeril
the safety of the most powerful iron
clads. Purely defensive measures, such
as enveloping the ship with a skirt of
wire Lets, must be of little avail. The
best means of defense is to give each
irouclad q couple of satellites in the
shape Of fast steam torpedo beats, armed
with light guns and carrying the White
head torpedo.

"RESPECTFULLY DECLINED

The writer takes his busy thoughts,
And weayes them iutO rhyme;
He says: - L m sure this poem
Is something quite sUbliIne;"
Then he waits with breathiess waiting
For the laurel wreath of fame
That with It's deathIess circle
Shall entwine poets name
But alas the post returning
Brings, to him, underlined,
That short and pithy sentence:
Respectfully declined"
Or into some wild romance
he wonders weaYes untold,
Of haiT-bT eadth 'scapes and miracles,
That makes his blood run cold.
After days OF expectation
And the nights in vision passed,
OF glorious immortality
That shall come to him at last.
He sees his castles in the air,
With feelings undo fined,
Fade before that pithy sentence:
" Respectfully declined"
So authors and inventors,
The wielders Of the pen,
From every way and walk of life,
And all the paths of men,
Before the power of the Press
Bow low as to a King,

Where few gain fame and fortune,
But more their fiat find
In that short and pithy sentence:

Have found your hopes all vain,
And in bitter disappointment
Have tasted dTegs of pain,
In the last great journey upward,

She lifted the crescent that hung upon
her bosom, and let the setting sun-rays
fall upon its starry gems, striking out a
thousand cleaning sparkles. For centu-
ries it had been a talisman and an heir
loom with the Trevanions handed down,
50 the legend ran, from one remote ances-
tor, who fought for the Holy Sepulchre.
Her race was proud and ancient, and she
and Maurice, her cousin, were its sole
representives. 1t was meet enough that
they should join hearts and bands in
wediock. But the future was so tempt
ing, she could not bring herself to re-
linquish all its triumphs.

The population Of the Indian territory
is about 1900 The wild Indians by
blood, called blanket" Indians, who do
not cultivate the soil, are the Osages,
Cheyennes, Arapahoes, Kiowas, and
Pawnees, and number 10000. Those
mixed with the whites who are partly
civilized are the Cherokees, Creeks, Sem
inoles, Choctaws and Chickasaws. A
white man marrying a squaw becomes
"a white Indian, and a white woman
marrying an Indian becomes "a white
sauaw." There are also a lot of black
Indians" who are negroes, Altogether
these number $4,000. Besides these
there are $500 "negro citizens OF the
/ United States" formerly slaves of the
/ Chickasaws. They do not rank as In
/ dians. while n "black Indian" does.

As the season for commencing winter
