Since Tweed was brought into cGs-
 tody from Spain he has had for his exclusive use ia Ludlow street Jail 8 bedroom. q dining-r0om, and a bath roqm. They were the quarters of the old warden. Two narrow win-
 dows looked out from the bedroom ou Ludlow street. The prisoner was allowed to it ID his apartments in a sumptuons manner. The walls were frescoed in bright cOlors; the heaYi- est Brussels carpet covered the floor, rhe furniture vas bright, showy, and expensive; all the corners and sides of the room were flied with tete- -tetes; easy chairs and sofas Of heavy blue rep Kimmed with gold; and handsome French mirrors hung from the walls. The bed on which Tweed breathed his last was of the richest mahogany. By it's side was an inyald's cane-bottom chair. Marble top tables were GOV cred with his medicines and tea. His wardrobe was contained in two great bureaus. 4 handsome bookcase was filed with the best known novels, poets, biographies, and law books. On she top shelf was a large bible and three prayer books. The matron says TEeeI l, no matter how busy, never neglected his religious deyo- tions. Every day he read two orl three chapters in the bible, and prayer. Over hls bed was a portrait Of his wife, and on the other walls hung pictures of his country-seat at Greenwich, Conn, large photo graph of bis son William, besides several religious notices and verses. i Among them were the weIl-known words, Watch and Pray:v another,

'Well, Kenneth he said, as seated
myself, How do you like Nora Har'

The question sounded SO oddly, com
ing from my father, who was accus
toned TO speak directly to the point in
a business conversation, that L stared
blankly ut him, repeating, Nora Har'
mon?'
Yes he said, you have been al
home three weeks. What do you think

she's well enough said 1; 'why:
Is she my long-lOst sister?'
Don't be a iool,' suggested my
father.
No, sir dutifully replied.
She's worth seventy-five thousand
dollars continued he; now do you
see?'
Cat say that do, said 1. She is
engaged, isn't she?
'Who told you that? asked my father,
sharply.
why, no one, precisely. But all the
town says she and Tom Hilliard will
make q match. am sure that is an
engagement ring she wears.
1t is not. You may set your mind
at rest on that score. Young Hiliiard
spokesto me about month ago, and |
told him plainly when he could offer
her a house to live in, it would be
time TO talk of that. She does not
think of such thing
'Areyou sure?' asked. They say
she never goes out without meeting
him somewhere
That is Just whet | wanted to speak
about. She doesn't care for him now,
but no one knows what may happen if
this goes on; and OF course 1 shall be
held responsible. So / think l will
send her to your Uncle Barton's for
awhile. Hilliard can't follow her
there
Can't hep I answered ,indifferently.
III he does, it will do him no good.
Barton won't let him come to the
house, and you can see that she does
not go out alone
'I?'
yes, you,' he replied. OF course
you will go with her.
And put off studying law to play
duenns?'
Don't pretend to be stupid. You
will not find many girls like Nora, to
say nothing of saving her from such an
idle scamp as Hilliard.'
And to say still less of the seventy
five thousand. Well, I'll co.

For the last sleep of the grave,

Is a garment no more fitting

Like bird my soul has passed,
Love the inmate, not the room
The wearer, not the garb-the plume
of the eagle, not the bars
That kept him from those splendid stars
Loving friends, Be wise, and dry
Straightway every weeping eye;
What We lift upon the bier
Is not worth single tear
'Tis an empty sea-shell-one
Out of which the pearl has gone;
The shell is broken-it lies there;
The pearl, the all, the soul is here.

In unspoken bliss, instead,
Lives and loves you; lost It's true,
For the light that shines for you;
