Mother, this is my wife, said Gerald,

"MOther, this is my wife," said Gerald,
gently. !
"My sweet grip said the lady, en-
bracing Letitia, who felt as if she was in
dream.
"Will Lady Fitzpatrick spare a word
to her brother Dennis~ said the young
man after moment; and Letitia turned
round tn shake hands with the strongest
possible likeness of her husband. Only
ly Dennis was rather shorter, and not
quite 80 ornamental
"Ah, now tell me who he is" said
Letitia, looking up at Gerald's mother
with all the earnestness of an Irish girl.
"Do you mean to say he has not told
your You poor, dear, heroic creatureW
"Why, my lady, of course he has not
told herw exclaimed Dennis, laughing.
"He would have lost that wager of ours,
which have regretted so bitterly ever
since. However, my five thousand
pounds won't go out of the family, that
is some comfort. Now, Fitzpatrick, I
hope you mean to pay your debts. Bv-
the-bye, all is smooth for You with Sir
George Monkton. We met him in town
the day before yesterday. He attacked
me like raging lion, actually mistaking
me for you-that's a compliment for
you. I could not have pacifed him, but
her ladyship took him in hand and
brought him to reason" & N'
"Hush, Dennis; remember who you
are talking Of" said his mother. "Come,
dear Letitia, I'll walk to your lodgings,
and we will leave these two rattlepates
to settle their own affairs. / am afraid
this distracted wager of theirs has cost
you good deal of suffering"
90 no." said Letitia, as the lady took
her arm, and walked with her towards
the town. 81 could not have been hap
pier. But pray tell me who he is, and
all about it,"
"My dear, can't understand your not
knowing. He is Lord Fitzpatrick, of
course. Only an irish peerage, people
will tell you; but for my part I think
we are as good as the English. As to
this wager, he began by spending large
sums on building and improving, and a
great deal of nonsense. He went beyond
his income and got into difficulties.
Then he resolved to volunteer into the
army. His brother said to him very
naturally, that no doubt his name would
get him commission at once. This
hurt Fitzpatrick's foolish pride. He
told Dennis he would lay him wager
of five thousand pounds that he would
keep his name and birth a profound Sc
cret for three years, be known as nothing
but an adventurer. and get on in the
army as we'll as any other man. He
even said that if any stories were invent
ed as to his birth, be would not contra
dict them. We never thought such a
mad idea could be carried out for three
years. He has done it, however, and
has contrived to win you, too, by far the
gayest feather in his cap. l am obliged
TO respect him now."
3 Lady Fitzpatrick talked good deal
more about her sons and their wager; i;
but this was all that Letitia cared much
to hear. Except that she was glad to
find the dear name Crosby not quite an
imagination; it was his mothers name.
And Gerald was really his own.

The story of Miss Monkton's marriage
may as well end here. One has the sat
isfaction Of knowing that Letitia never
regretted her trust in the Irish adven-
turer ft
Sir George was angry for some time,
and did not finally forgive them till
Humphrey Barrett, having married a
rich brewers daughter, deserted his po-
litical colors, and came in for the county
on the wrong side, which was his father
in-law's. After this Sir George repented,
and was very civil to Lord Fitzpatrick.
Mrs. Bushe took up her abode with
Letitia and lived on the most affection
ate terms with her and her husband
Letitia's children grew up to love her
and tyrannize over her as their mother
had done before them. .u''r ~
But l will not say anything about
Letitia's children, cliarmingly agreeable
people as they are. l can only think of
their mother as almost a child herself,
dancing round the room in white frock,

ly along the snowy shrubbery, wrapped
in scarlet, to her first meeting with the
hero of her dreams.

WAsHINGroN, July LITTLE Execu-
tive Committee of the National Board
of Health invites the attention of all
State and municipal authorities and
sanitary organizations to the fact that
they should, without delay, endeavor
to secure the best sanitary condition OF
places and people under their charge.
Whatever opinions may be held as to
the causes OF yellow fever and of the
recent appearance of that disease in
Tennessee aud Mississippi, it is to act
as if it were a disease due to speci-
&c particular cause which is capable of
growth and reproduction, transportable
and may be destroyed by exposure to
temperature above 250 .degrees Fahren-
belt. or By chemical disinfeotants of
sufficient strength, if brought into im-
mediate contact II is also prudent to
assume that the growth and reprodue
ton of this cause are connected with
I the increase of filth in q sanitary sense
Of that word, including decaying or~
game matter aud defective ventilation,
as we'll as of high temperature. The
leases of yellow fever recently observed
should be considered as due to causes
surviving from last year epidemic, and
not to recent importation from other
countries. 1t follows that there is q
liability to appearance of other cases
10 nlaees visited by the epidemic Of
last year, and that there is danger o.
the spread of the disease to the \ ortl
aud East. The object of the presen
circular is to advise that all cities
towns aud villages he at once made
clean in sanitary point Of view. The
first step toward securing cleanliness il
to obtain reliable Information rs t.
what parts of the place are clean and
what foul The results of careful SAM
tary inspection of almost any city o.
town will show the existence of collec
lions to decaying and offensive matter
previously unknown and which every
one will admit should be promptly re
moved and destroyed Such inspection
TO be OF value, must be thorough
and made by persons competent to rec
oonize foul soils, water and air as vel
as grease and more palpable forms o
: nuisance They should also be made
; by persons who would report fully anC
frankly the results of their observa
tions without reference to the wishe
of persons or corporations. When tn
whereabouts and extent of the evil i
known the remedy is usually almos
. self. evident. The National Board o
