An expression of sadness clonded her

An expression of sadness c1onded her
face.
sDid you not know" she exclaimed,
ssthat both my dear aunt and my noble
young cousin-all had in the world to
love and be loved by-were taken from
me within one short month? Oh, it was
hard! was almost beside myself with
grief. Then I read of the suffering here,
and the need of nurses. ] was alone in
the world-no circle would be broken by.
my less-and thought, perhaps in hard
work could be able to drown my sor-
row. So came"
As she spoke gazed with amazement
at the brave woman before me (for though
young in years, "girP' she could be
called no longer.
s'The first month I took the fever, she
continued, ssbut my perfect health
brought me through safely"
Truly the ways of Providence are mys-
terious! How little ever thought that
should meet Vera Carleton in such
manner and place.
After that 1 saw her daily; saw her
kneeling in prayer by the dying, or
Willing away the weary hours of con-
valescence by her beautiful, cheering
presence.
A month passed. It was cooler
weather now, and the fever was at an
end. The time had come when my
services were no longer indispensable,
and could return to my home in Lon
don. I called to bid Miss Carleton
good-by.
I found her alone. We talked awhile,
and suddenly, although my reason told
me it was madness, impelled by an in
ward prompting I could not resist,
disclosed to my listener the love which
had been hidden In my heart all the long
years which had passed since we last met.
As my passionate words fell or her ear
faint rose-drift tinged the snow of her
exquisite face. Ali / saw only too
clearly by the difference that existed be-
tween her great loveliness and my poor,
manned body, how foolish I was even to
dare to hope, and yet kept on.
Then bowing my head, 1 awaited my
answer. It came not in words. Soft,
round arms clasped my neck-a tender,
tear-wet face pressed itself close to mine;
there, close by my side, with eyes whose
joyful light cleaned through mist of
tears, was Vera.
@Austin, take me-" she whispered. 'I
am yours. Undine has found her soulI'
So she had heard me say that. WE'LL
tell her later, my offense is cancelled, for
1, too, overheard remark never meant
for my ears-a remark which was the
means of forcing me to keep silence then
and ever since until now.
Was ever a man so blest as r? As I
picture the future-my love-lit home
and the beautiful companion who is to
be its guardian angela sense of thank
fulness rises in me too deep for words; !;
for surely, this side of the heavenly
shore, God can give no man no more
precious gift than that of a noble, loving
wife.

The time flew by until the day came on
which had decided to go, and it was
well that it was SO; for l. knew then that
almost unconsciously, an all-absorbing
love had been growing up in my heart
for the beautiful girl who was no more
fitting mate for one like me than dainty
humming- bird would be for a grim,
sombre raven.
Not for such as she was a work-day
life like mine-even had not been as I
was-a cripple.
So I went away, thanking my kind
entertainers, and binding with cords of
iron my heart, which throbbed like
wild thing, when at parting she laid her
little hand in mine and said she was

The Mexican Southern railroad, of which
Gen. Grant is president, is being surveyed
in four divisions, and it is believed that
this preliminary work will be completed
within a month, and that construction will
begin Immediately afterward. The total
length of the road and branches will be
about eight hundred miles, the larger part
OF which is to be pushed to completion with
ont delay. The part of Mexico through
which the Mexican Southern road will pass
is said to be agricultural and as whole.
the richest district of the country. The an.
nual rainfall is much greater there than in
the northern parts, and is distributed much
more evenly III point of time. Although
about three quarters of the route of the
read are as we'll adapted to railroad build
ing as the state OF Illinois, the varieties of
altitude along tn Q ii inc are such as to cause
a great diversity Of crops ranging from
tropical products near the coast to those Of
temperate chimes in the interior. As these
differences in altitude and in crops occur at
comparatively brief intervals, convenient
railroad connections are expected to cause
an interchange of products which will sup
ply much local traffic. It is from local bust
ness that the company expects to derive
Its chief revenue.

ONE of the Washington correspondents
tells story of DR.. Agnew of Philadelphia,
VINO is one of the distinguished consulting
surgeons of the president, that developes
noble trait of character, and one that ac-
counts, in measure, for the veneration and
love entertained for him at home. One
day he was requested to remain in Wash
ington, but he declined because of patients
requiring mis- attention in Philadelphia.
One of the resident physicians asked what
kind of patients they were, and the emin-
ent surgeon replied that one was laborer
at the shipyard, who had badly fractured
skull and the other one of the same char
acter, who was suffering from wound in
the abdomen. These were particular case
and he thought he might be able to save
their lives by his presence. When it was
urged that the presidents life was more
valuable, he remarked that the president
was attended by skillful surgeons album
dainty able to cope with any emergency,
while these poor men had nobody. Human
life was human life, and his presence was
actually necessary in Philadelphia.

A LATE decision by the supreme court of

A LATE decision by the supreme court of
Minnesota contains clear exposition of
the law in regard to privileged communica-
tons, about which there has been much
confusion in the minds of some people and
large amount of litigation. So far as
newspapers are concerned the decision is
clearly to their advantage. Briefly, it is
held that q communication. which may be in
the form of an editorial or any other, made
in good faith upon any subject matter, in
which the person communicating has an
interest, or in reference he has duty, pub
lie or private, either legal, moral or social,
If made to person having corresponding
interest or duty, is privileged; that in such
case the inference of malice which the Law.
draws from defamatory words is rebutted,
and the ones of proving actual malice is
>ast upon the person claiming to have been
"efamed; that the subject matter of the
communication is one of public interest in
the community of which the parties to the
communication are members, is sufficient,
as respects interest, to confer the privilege:
defamaiory publication is one which is false
and calculated to bring the person DETAINED
into disrepute, but it is not necessarily ma
licious.
