this message reached her, but now the
hot blood flashed to her cheeks. She
checked a violent exclamation. Her
heart arose indignant against this last de-

quered herself, and said, 81 will see

But the gentleman whom she found in
the parlor was not the dreaded stranger
who held her treasure, not the new mas

her fancy had already conjured. No; it
was an old friend, an artist returned fiom
abroad, bringing his laurels with him
an artist who had come to tell Caroline
that all his fame had been won by his
devotion to her image-a friend come to
tell Caroline that time had not changed
and never would change the constancy
of his heart.
1t was only Joe.

despair, hope dawned upon Caroline.

Going Tn Stairs.

member of a school board writes
that a building is about being erected
for educational purposes, and wants to
know the effect on pupils and teachers
of climbing long flights of stairs.
An old man instinctively goes round
log instead of stepping upon it; each
step up is equal to lifting a considerable
portion of the body, and le old have no
extra strength to spare, nor have the

get to the top.
In New Y ork city the young and vigor-
Gus are appointed to deliver letters in
the lower part of the town, where they
have to be taken up two or three or more
stories of buildings containing business
offices; they all complain ofthe exhaust

ings. If strong young men are thus
worn out, so much more will children
and female teachers. If they must go up
stairs, each step should not be over six
inches high, and should be at least twelve
inches broad, so as to give support to
the whole foot at each tread. There can
be no argument against facts. In some
cases weak lungs may be strengthened
by goinU up stairs rapidly, with the
mouth closed, so as to compel a deep in
spiration when the top is reached, and
thus compel the air to the very bottom
of the lungs, distending them fully; but
this, at the same time, endangers bleed
ing by the extra strain. if there is ten
dency to hemorrhage or heart disease.
The safest and best plan for all is to go
up stairs slowly and deliberately, bear
ing in minG that, in all stages of life,
equality of bodily motion and mental
activity are most promotive of health.
No person, after forty, should go on a
run unless there is seeming necessity
for it. Running to catch a vehicle or a
departing ferryboat is not only not dig
nilied but is dangerous-always danger

The Story of Celia Thaxter.

A romantic story is connected with
Appledore island, one of the Isles of
Shoals, off the coast of New Hampshire.
Years ago the island was purchased by
Mr.. Leighton, lawyer and prominent
local politician of Portsmouth, who
bought it with view to living on it
permanently, on account of his dissatis-
faction with his party He took his
wife and child-a daughter--there. built
rude house, and expressed his determ-
ination never to return to the main land.
He adhered to his word infieXibly, for
ne had grown soured and misanthropi-
cal by his political disappointment.
When his daughter had become fifteen
or sixteen, a young lawyer of delicate
constitution asked the privilege of board
ing in Mr.. Leighton's isolated family, for
the benefit of his health. The privilege
was reluctantly granted, and the attor-
ney, being thrown into the society of the
daughter described as a very pretty,
bright and unconventional girl, as she
would likely be with her peculiar sur
roundings), fell desperately in love with
her. The cynical father opposed mar
riage and was furious at the interloping
gallant; but as the latter could not be
bullied or driven off he was final ly al
lowed to take the girl to wife, and the
two went to the main land and lived
there. The lady is now known to the
literary world as Mrs. Celia Thaxter, a
favorite contributor to the atlantic Mag
nzipe. She is very iond of Appledore,
doubtless through early romantic asso-
Citations, ard spends most of her, sum-
mers in a cottage near the Appledort
House, kept by her brothers, who were
born on the island, and have grown tc
he inn-keepers by a process of evolution
gradual but irresistible.

Beaver BilI's Daughter.

In Scribner'S Monthly appears won
derful history of search after the lost
heir of an old and wealthy English
family. He was the eldest son of Sir
William Beauvoir, baronet, who died at
Brighton, England, on December 90, 1873,
and like many heirs to estates he passed
in youth through an exceedingly dissi-
pated and reckless career. When loaded
with gambling debts he left England sud-
denly for America some thirty years
since, and had not been heard of during
all that time by his family. He went
through q second career of vice and
gambling in New York, and again fled
from his creditors. This was at the time
of the gold excitement in California,
and after changing his name to William
Beaver, he went out to that country,
where he became known as Beaver Bill,
very wild and reckless miner. He.
however, married, and in January,
1858, he was farming in Steal Valley,
dians, Beaver Bill and his wife were
killed, but their only child, beautiful
little girl of two years of age, was spared
and kept by tribe of Indians. She
was adopted by an actress, named Mrs.

ecutors of Sir William Beauvoir with
parties in this country in the hope of dis
covering the heir to the title and estate,
and the above facts were discovered one
after another. In the meantime William
Beauvoir, son of Oliver, the second son
of the old baronet, came to this country
in 1878. In his travels he saw Nina
Saville, as a popular actress, fell vio-

Uncertainty of Wealth.

A gentleman who, twelve years ago,
passed on from series of visits among
the aristocracy of birth in England to
be the guest of several members of the
aristocracy of wealth, said he was much
impressed by the signs of wealth in the
latter case as compared with the former.
In many of the stately homes of Eng
land faded damask and threadbare car
pets may be found in conjunction with
beautiful old plate and fine pictures.
Everything is of good quality but it is
frequently worn out; whereas, in the
house of the great money magnates the
upholstery is new, fresh and resplendent,
for the ready money which my lord and
the Squire so often lack Is ut hand. The
aristocracy of birth have, however, had
hitherto at least one signal advantage
as compared to the eothers-permanen
The fleeting character of even the most
splendid commercial fortunes is being
eXemplified just now in the north of
England The home of Mr.. Vaughan,
of Bolchow & Vaughan-whose father
bequeathed him palace in which the
smoking-room cost $3.50, 900 and sing e
mantel-piece $40, ,000-was in the market
recently, ,.and threeIweeks later a fruitless,
attempt was made to sell Gray Towers,
the princely seat of another great Cleve-
land iron-master. The house had cost
S250,O0O, but only $3.50, 600 was bid for
it, inclusive of the estate, 800 acres.
Only those who have seen such places
can realize how completely they illus
trated the auctioneering phrase, "de'
fiance of expense" To fancy and tc
realize were one. These great northern
commercial persons very rarely have
houses in London, and unless in Parlia
ment, seldom make any effort to "ge
into society" but live in q world of theil
own around the seat oftheir business.

Common Men.

Common Men.
We're nobody particular,
We're just the men you meet
At harvest with the sickle, or
AT seed-time dropping wheat:
From Mondays until Saturdays
We work from morn till night,
And only in these latter days
We've learnt to read and write.
Our little place is poor enough,
Tho clean as any pin;
Whoe'er you are, you're sure enough
OF welcome when you're in:
The rich man has his Wallets and
His locks to guard his store,
But we have empty wallets, and
We only latch the door.
Besides perhaps pair or two
OF blankets, and bed,
An oaken chest, q chair or two
All brought when we were we'd
There's little you would lend upon:
We've neither house nor lands,
We only do depend upon
The labor OF our hands.
When these begin to fail you, and
You're thrown upon yourself,
Or anything should all you, and
There's nothing on the shelf,
Though anxious looks the mother, and
Our own is almost bare,
We feel for one another, and
We find a bit to spare.
You ask me what we think about
In rainy weather, when
We sit and pass the drink about,
And speak but now and then:
Sure, all may spend their leisure in
The manner that they will,
And poor men find pleasure in
Just simply sitting still.
We're up to tend the cattle, when
The Londoners in bed;
We hear the thunder rattle, when
There's nothing overhead
To shield us il the racket, and
When down doth pour the rain,
We only shake our jacket, and
We go to work again.
To every man his station, and
His work is set, ween;
The queen doth rule the nation, and
The soldier guards the queen
From toemen that would harm her, and
Their number is not small;
We labor for the farmer, and
The farmer keeps them all.
Then do not Judge us blindly, rs
You'll hear some people do;
Think only OF us kindly, as
You'd have us think OF you.
To eher folk than we belong
The pulpit and the pen,
Yet England were not England long
Without her common men.
