As soon as Mr.. and Mrs. Spalding,
who closely follow Josiah, have entered
tho room, Nelly to my surprise walks
quickly up to her father and takes his
hand. " Father" said she, with trem-
ulOus yet decisive tone, "you know the
message you brought me from Mr. Blag-
den this morning? Give him my answer
now. Tell him that | am going to marry
DR.. Brooke"
Now, it is my opinion that, lad the
discarded Josiah at this moment held
his tongue, he might have got both Mr..
and Mrs, Spaldmg to speak word for
him with Nelly, But as it was he de-
stroyed his own case at blow.
Message from me ?-and this is my
answer !" he said in al angry voice.
"Why, | care nowt-noDt," he repeated
bitterly, "about the matter. guess it
was the lass's father and mother that
wanted to marry Josiah Blagdens money
perhaps they wanted some of it for
themselves"
The rudeness and vulgarity which
marked the man came out Enthusiastically
as he said these words and taking his
sisters arm in his and casting n look Of
vindictive scorn ut the doctor and my
self, he walked ont ut the door with an
ungainly strut which was meant for dig
nifty; and we saw the great Josiah no
| more.
Mrs. Spalding was especially cut up
by the parting fling Of Josiah, as it was
she who had manmuyred the matter thus
far Mr. Spalding, on the other hand,
burst into iovial laugh, and taking his
daughters hand, placed it in that of
DR.. Brooke.
After all had left the studio but Mr..
Spalding, the latter asked me to tell him
in plain terms how | had brought this
about-for he had no doubt | was at tho
bottom Of it. | uncovered the picture,
which Mr.. Spalding -- simple, easy

The Scnrcd Professor.

There is no use Of Disgusting the fact
that the boys who attend our colleges
are pretty tough eases on general princi-
pies Not that they would commit
crimes, or do things that are particularly
dishonorable, but they are as full Of tho
old Nick as they can hold. You take the
best boy you can find in the public
schools, one who has had a religious
training. and seems to have n plous turn
of mind, and who is SO good that all the
other boys think he is bookodtor heaven,
and send him off to college, nad you
want TO watch him. The chances are
that he will come back with knowled- -e
of draw poker that will parHlyze an old
gambler. and he will be sure to be II
leader i'll all the deviltry that is going
ON. An illustration OF this was furnished
short time ago i'll one of our state
colleges devoted to turning ont piols
young men. The class in elocutlon was
furnished with a professor from DIS
tant city, who was very thorough in his
methods, but he didn't amount to any
thing at hand.ing boys. lie seemed to
look mt them in the class room appeal
ingy, ny much as to beg them not to
play any monkey work on -hlm. The
boys saw he was afraid of them, and
they lnld for him. They got into dis
cussion over the proper way to render a
passage from the poem, The Boy
Stood on the Burning Deck, when one
Of the students called the other II liar.
The professor held up his hands Ill hor-
ror, aud begged them to he seated, when
the young mau who had been called II
liar drew revolver and shot at the
other student, who fell to the floor an
all ngcl corpse. The professor was wild,
and at this point the lights went out and
every student drew Il revolver and began
firing blank cartridges in the air. Some
were armed with putty bulls and eggs,
and mt each discharge something would
strike the professor, and he thought he
wls ful of holes. a window was raised,
and by the light made by the exploding
cartridges "a pair OF coat tails and legs
could be seen going out, and the pro
fcssor landed Ii nd first on some lilac
bushes. They rlshed to the window
aud the poor man, bruised and bleeding,
and rs scared Il, it was possible for
man to he, was running for dear life.
The next morning he took the train for
home, with black eye, and clothes
that looked as though something had
been scraped of OF them, and the
faculty of the college will not know what
has become Of their profession of elOcu-
ton till they read this. The boys SO
about their studies as though nothing
had happened, but they are trying to
think up some new deviltry. Boys will
be boys, and there is no way you can
prevent it, unless you break their backs

our RELATIONS WITH MEXICO.

The two principal Republics on this
continent are the United States and
Mexico. There ought to be no jealousies
between them. On the contrary, says
the San francisco Call, they should stand
side by side in the cultivation of terms OF
amity and fraternity. Our Government
proved its friendship for Mexico at q
period when it had to make a bold ven
turc to do go. A French army had in
vaded the Mexican dominions, overthrow
ing the Republic, created monarchy,
and placed an Austrian Prince on the
throne. We were engaged in civil war
at the time, but Mexico was not forgot
ten. The Monroe doctrine was so forci-
bly, reassertod by Mr.. Seward, then Sec
rotary of State, of the United States, that
Louis Napoleon dared not disregard its
import. The army under Bazaine was
withdrawn in obedience to tho menace of
our Government, and Macmillan aban-
doned to his fate The Rapablic OF Mex
leo, realizing our power and approaching
our friendship, seeks to draw closer to us
in commercial bands. We welcome her
advances. Congress is inclined to be re-
sponsive. The Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations on the 10th ultimo
"agrced to recommend the insertion in
the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill of a
clause which will enable the President to
send a Special Embassy to Mexico, to ne
gotiate additional treaty provisions to
promote the commercial relations of the
two countries, and for the protection and
encouragement of works Of internal i'm
provement, such as railways and canals
constructed by American citizens" Mex
leo has shown willingness to meet these
advances, and the present outlook indi-
Gates that before another decade has
passed, the two Republics will be SO
closely linked together in fraternal, com.
mercial and National feeling that no
hostile Power--so long. as the Republics
are not hostile between themselves-willl
be able to tear them asunder

A letter to the Hartford Times says:
There lies in the Treasury Department
to-day 81, 400,000 of unclaimed interest
on Government bonds. This sum is get.
ting larger every day. This seems strange,
but is true. This vast sum of money, or
much OF it, can be drawn by simply ap-
plying for it by whoever is entitled to it
and has the registered bond on which the
interest is due and not paid, There are
thousands of persons who have bought
bonds and, not knowing how to get the
interest on them, prefer to lose the same
rather than expose the fact that they have
the bonds. Others have interest due them
and actually forgot the fact, and it lies
in the Treasury vault waiting for them to
apply for it. Should one of the clerks of
the bond division inform a person to
whom interest is due of the fact, and the
same be discovered, he would be instantly
discharged.

At Fair Haven, N. j., there are two
public schools, one for white children and
another for colored. Recently the teacher
of the colored school, who was colored
woman, resigned. The trustees then
closed the colored school, sending the
forty or more colored pupils to the white
children's school. The white pupils
revolted and stopped attendance. The
white teacher next rebelled and the
school trustees were forced to procure a
colored teacher and reopen the colored
school.
