he opened his eye and looked around.
he saw the woman standing near to
whose feet the waters had brought him,
ana great hight came into his face, and
he whispered very family, but still loud
enough for her to hear him. "Agnes,
darling, l have come back to you. /
know you would be true. Come and
kiss me darling"
A cry ofpa'n found its way to the wo-
mans white lips In that voice, so
weak and low, and by the words she re-
cognized the man before her. John
Derwent had come back to her, and he
thought her true! And for year she
had been the wife of another man.
Don't you know me, Agnes?"
he whispered. "pm dying l think.
Won't you kiss me?"
She sank down beside him, and kis-
sed his face, her tears falling on it like
rain. Her husband came toward her,
wonderngly; but she motioned him back,
and he obeyed silently.
"lt's different coming home from the
one we thought of, darling" Derwent
whispered; "butI knew you would be
true, and never doubted you for mo.
ment, though L didn't get any letter for
a long time-a very long time, darling
but l knew you would be true"
He said these last words in a dreamy
way, and they knew he was drifting out
to sea again-out to sea, past all wreck
and storm; and from this voyage there
would be no coming back.
| Every word was like knife thrust In
the heart of the woman who had been
so faithless. and whom he thought SO
| true.

after, opening his eyes and smiling in hei
face; "but we can't help it, l can die
easier with you by me, darling. ] knew
you would be true"
The bitter thrust again. She shiveret
like guilty thing.
"Kiss me-" he whispered
l And she kissed him, once and again
and John Derwent's life went out int
the great Eternal-sailed out to find the
Happy Islands and the lands of whicl
we dream died thinking that the wo
man he loved was true.
1T was better thus.
But / wonder if in the hereafter he
found out how taitbless she had been:
Did it touch his soul with bitterness, o
was the new life too far removed from
the old to know any earthly care or dis
appointment? Who can tell?

Dear Slr-It gives me very great pleasure
to inform you of the benefit received from
the use of PERUVIAN SYRUP in my
own family. My wife, for the past ten
years, has been in feeble health-very
much deblliteted generally. Last Spring
she concluded to try bottle of PERU
with the result, continued its use until three
or four bottles had been used, and she is
now in better health than at any time for
ten years, and has increased in weight from
1l0 pounds TO 126K. have employed ply
siclans, and used a great variety of patent
medicines, to the extent of hundreds of dol
lars, and Know she received more benefit
from the PERUVIAN SYRUP than all the
rest together.
My sales of the Syrup are very large
and constantly increasing. and do not hes
1tate to recommend and even warrant 1t to
give satisfaction. If you desire you are at
liberty to use this communication as you
see fit, as it gives me pleasure to recon
mend so good an article to suffering hu-
manity. Yours truly,

DESCRIPTION OF THE STEAMER CITY
OF WASHINGTON.


The Chester News gives the following
description of the steamship City Of
Washington, which was launched at
Roach's yard, on Thursday afternoon, in
the presence of the visiting Governors and
other distinguished personages:-
The City of Washington is the finest
specimen of naval architecture ever
launched in this country. Not nearly as
large as the Toxic or Peking, yet she
weighed considerably more than either
Of these monsters. Her measurement
over the twelve feet water line is 302 feet
whilst over all she is 320 feet long; 3S
feet beam (moulded); depth of hold 2S
feet inches; 80 feet inches from base
line to top of spar deck Her tonnage is
2950 tors. The capacity of her coal
bunkers is $50 tons. Her engines are
two in number, of the compound surface
condensing plan with 1850 horse power;
she has also two auxiliary engines for
purpose Of working air, circular, feed and
bilge pumps. Tue main engines have no
other work to perform but to work the
propeller. The boilers were placed in the
vessel before launching; are TWO in mum.
Der, aud of the vertical tubular, cylindri-
cal make, each 23 feet long and Is feet in
diameter, their working pressure is 80
lbs to the square inch. The ship has
three decks, the main deck being COM
posed partly of iron whistles the upper
deck is built entirely of this material
Her mean low draft will be 21 feet. She
will be brigantine rigged and will carry
1900 square feet of sail. She contains 4
state rooms, will accommodate $50 frs
class passengers, with good accommoda-
tons for officers and crew, land have room
in the steerage for 250 persons. She has
six iron bulk heads, SO that there are
seven water tight compartments, so tha
if she should spring leak IN one there
would be six left thus saving her from
sinking:
1t is expected that she will be able t,
make at least sixteen knots an hour
which will be equal to the speed of the
fastest steamers afioat. She was built
for the Alexandre line and will ply be
tween New York and Savannah He
keel was laid February 7th, 1877, OF
March oath the first frame was raised
and on the 21st of April the first plate
was raised.

BRIGHAM YOUNG,s WILL.

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 31.-Brigham
Young left will, but is has not yet been
read or spoken Of. Some anticipate quar-
rel over his estate among the heirs, in~
volving the rights of polygamous chill
dren, but at present all that is said on
the subject is the nearest speculation :
Two children by the first wife-John W.
and Brigham Young Jr.-yet remain, ,and
that is all. The succession is at present
a matter of speculation. Undoubtedly
the vacancy will be filled, but probably
not until the October conference, and
after thorough consideration by an as
sembly composed of all the heads of the
Church.

Au Heir Wanted for Hundred and
Eighty Millions.

A letter has recently been received by
the Chief of Police at Denver from Lake
Addie, Mcleod county, Mimi, signed by
III. c. Giltner, asking for information of
his brother, Amos u. Giltner, whose
presence is required to prove claim to the
estate Of his great grandfather, said to
amount to about S1SO,00p,000, the heirs
having been advertised for by the Govern
ment of Holland lie also forwards a
letter to be handed over to his brother as
soon as his address is ascerained, i'll
which, after particularizng their relation
shig TO Catharine Cauh Kate Webber,the
wife of John Francis Glltner, he informs
them of there being other heirs in Penn
sylvanla and New York city who had
, met at Trenton, N. j., and appointed
their second cousin, +. b. Humphrey, as
their agent, and that letter had been
received from him at Amsterdam, stating
that he had found everything correct,
and that all heirs must prove their identity
at once. After regretting that mutual
cooperation between the respective
families had failed, he wished to know
| if his blother will join him in securing
their share, which he estimates to be
about one twenty-fifth of the whole
amount. there being abount twenty heirs
intending seven children of their great
grandfather. lie does not think there
will be any trouble in tracing their line
as the other branch Of the family have
! succeeded in bringing the record down TO
their grandfather, and urges Amos to lose
no time in communicating, as meeting
of the heirs is to be held in the fall. 1t
is supposed that the lost heir, if alive,
will be heard from, as there are several
residents of Denver who remember
Amos @. Giltner and his having engaged
himself as a miner in Colorado some
wears AGO.
