it had not been for old Miss Vantel-
tuyfel's legacy. The old lady left all her
household furniture, including her china,
silver and table-linen, to Emily, who
was her favorite niece as well as name
sake; and, of course, that made us think
at once of setting up home of our own.
We had been engaged two years already,
there was no likelihood that my salary
would be raised, and altogether we de-
cided that we might as well make be-

TIMELY TOPICS.

In China, where the opium habit
ruins and destroys many men annually,
the efforts of the government to abolish
or diminish the use of opium have re-
Gently been more energetic than ever.
All these efforts have been in vain, as were
those of many years previous. The Pekin
government have at last determined to
take the final step in The business, and
an edict has been issued, which goes into
effect next year, making the use or sale
of opium punishable by death. 1t is
hard TO say, how the edict will be met by
the ten million opium eaters of the Ce-
lestial Empire, or what proportion of
them will come to this country to enjoy
their fascinating custom.
