like all hcroines OF romance, knew how
10 enter At 4 critical moment, rushed
in. She had suspected foul play
With wild shrek she battered down
the door and dragged Dennis out by
the hair of the head. The drug had
not had time to accomplish its fatal
work.

CHAPTER III.

An ejaculation of surprise escaped
Mr.. Dobbs when he discovered Rosa
mond in the place. But our heroine,
for reasons OF her own, disScmbled by
explaining ,ha, there was nothing cX.
traordinary in the fact of her presence,
rs she was there To execute a commits
sion of charity for the ladies' associa.
ton of aims distributors.
With this observation she left them
in 4 dc.irium of bcwildermcnt. But
Mr.. Dalrymplc Dobbs saw the whole
truth, and knew that Dennis was the
base supplanter of his love. A scheme
Immediately developed itself in the
proud hotel pIoprietor's head, and,
blandly apologizing for getting in the
way OF the despised herring, thus spoke ::
al am Mr.. Dalrymplc Dobbs, the
hotel proprietor. in proof Of which
take this purse of gold"
"Nay proud hotel elproprietor, return
cd Dennis, "put up your dross. ! can
only accept tina, for which have
honestly toiled. But will earn food
from you or die in the attempt"
at is" retorted the hotel proprie
tor, "thc very favor would have asked
OF you. Know, simple exprcssman,
that three or four trunks, two band
boxes and one valise are waiting your
humble cart down at my hotel for
transfer to a place OF which you shall
learn more anon. HE thee thither,

thou ask for thy labor, it is in this
purse twice told"
awe will parlcy hereafter rs to my
recompcnsc," said Dennis, who turned
20 his mother and tremulously spoke /:
"Oh, mother, we are saved. This
great and glorious work which | am
called upon to perform will bring dol
lars into our cofiers," and with tears OF
JOY he went and took his. humble cx-
press cart to the hotel Of Mr.. Dalrym
pie Dobbs.

FAIR RoSAMoND.
A Tale OF woman's Devotion.

RoSamond Planner was high-born
maid. She had been born on some OF
the highest ground in san Francisco.
She was the rich daughter of naughty
architect and the opulent niece of his
railroad boss. Both had died 4 little
while before the opening of this narra-
tive. Rosamond was the beloved of a
proud hotel proprietor who lived in the
city; but she deSpiscd his ovcrtures,
also his waltzes and quadrilles, for he
often danced attendance upon her
Dairy mplc Dobbs, the hotel proprietor
in question, had 4 voice like saw.
Yet he loved Rosamond with incal-
culable love; but alas for him, she was
passionately attached to Dennis Farrell.
One morning he had fetched 4 trunk
from the house of her impcrious uncle,
and seeing her bright form at the lat
iicc of her chamber in her fathers
house opposite, had offered her his
heart. Thus they came to love each
other with 4 grand and holy love-
But Rosamond had OF late noticed the
pallid cheek and sunken eye Of her
heiro,hed, and had come 10 the thrilling
conclusion that regular and uncertain
diet was not utterly irrelevant to their
cause. And upon the afternoon pre-
ceding the evening that opens this tale,
falling asleep while reclining upon a
h,xGrious conch. she dreamed that her
hearts idol was in the sore distress of
exceptionally irritating poverty. She
started from her slumber, and putting
a herring into rich satchcl, she started
on her errand of mercy.

CHAPTER V.


After Mr.. Dobbs had refreshed Den
mis- with California champagne, he took
him into an upper room and civilly,
but percmptorily requested him to pre-
pare to begin the work for which he
had been engaged.
"Wait there moment" said Mr..
Dobbs, and he disappeared into an in
ner room, lighted 4 fire, uncorkcd the
vial which contained the sufiocating
drug. threw 1t upon the flames and
hastily retrcatcd. "Now come" said
the hotel proprietor, Ego into the small
apartment and fetch out the trunks,
etceteraS."
Dennis obeyed, and no sooner had
he entered the fatal room than Mr..
Dobbs adroitly locked him in, and left
him to perish in the poisonous vapor.

"Rosamond, you hcrc?" exclaimed
Dennis.

"\o, Dennis, ] know your proud

And knccling she implorcd him to

not accept sustenancc from the woman
he loved. He had sworn IN oath that
he would live by the labor of his good
right arm, and that alone. He could
not break that arm-l mean tha, oath

Under the spacious pretext OF pur-
chasing some "vcrmin-killer" to lure the
rats Of the hotel cellars to destruction,
Mr.. Dalrymple Dobbs stayed upon his
way to enter the shop Of a disreputable
chemist and druggist. The proud ho-
tel proprietor was soon walking again

MEAN PEOPLE.

One of the oddcst things in the world
is the fact that mean people do not
know that they are mean, bu; cherish 4
sincere conviction that they are the
souls Of generosity. You will hear
them inveighing loudly against neigh
Dor who does not come up 10 the stand
ard of generous man, and decrying
the sin of boarding and Withholding,
without being sensible in the least that
they are condemning Themselves
They are usually people who are not in
the habit Of self.criticism, and il they
were not amusing, they would be the
most aggrava;ine class alive. More
over, they are generally people who are
not only willing 10 receive, but who de-
mand great deal At the hands OF
others; yet the example of their friends
in giving and lending never seems TO
strike them rs 1t variance with their
own line Of conduct, and If by any
chance they part with iarthing, it ap-
pears 10 them n more magnanimous
&c, than the founding OF hospital by
another. The mean person must be
brought to 4 lively sense OF the need
before opening her purse; As for beg
gars, she disapprovcs ofihem altogether; ;
they are pcs;iicrous as the mosquito, in
her eyes, and ought to be legislaicd
ont OF existence. We do not. however,
always find the mean person among
the rich she is quite as likely 10 be
poor indeed, one OF the great disad-
vantages Of provcrty is that il often
obliges one TO seem small. obligcs one
to think of the candlc.cnds when one
would prefer to think of better things.
Money does not make 4 person mean
necessarily, or We should not all be
struggling so desperately TO obtain it ;
it ought rather to be 4 preventive.
The disease lies in the disposition OF
the individual, and il is doubtful il any
ultcrior circumstance can eradicate it /;
and while in this view we may easily
forgive her. we yet find her vastly in
convcnicn, To deal with. II she is the
employer, the mean woman is apt TO
get as much work from her servants for
the least money possible. On some
pretcxt or other she detains her seams.
,rcss after her regular days work is
over, underpays her washerwoman, or
exchanges old duds for clean linen !:
keeps the servants fire low, or pays
their wages with cast of fincry. Some
times, indeed, il is the servant who
gives poor work for liberal payment /;
sometimes it is the husband who dimes
sump,uously at his club, while his fam
lily sit down to spare diet ; sometimes
it is the landlord who obliges the ten.
ant TO make his own repairs or go shah
by; sometimes il is the neighbor who
borrows but never lends the manuiac-
turer who adultcrates food or drugs !;
the stcp.mother, who feeds the child
rem on skinned milk the mothcr-in-
law. who grudges her sons wife the
fallals she has not been used to: or the
daughtcr.in law who makes her hus-
bands mother feel like stranger in
her home. Indeed, meanneSS is such
an unlovcly trait that it is no wonder
we all disown il.

WOMEN AS HoUsEKEEPERs.

One of the bcs, things abou, house.
keeping, says the New York Efcning
|1H. is that il requires the exercise OF
the highest faculties of the human mind.
We see women every day who are states
men in the wise management OF affairs:
calm. independent. and Seif.posscssed
in emergencies. Some of the bcs,
traits Of character are constantly cult
waited.
II any class of women can he said 10

beauty would be gained. How many

the addition OF those wicked little lines
about the eyes and mouth which come
from having fretied over necessary

engaged in, would not injure the doer
There are times, probably. when the
happicSt wife and mother thinks with
longing OF Thoreau's housekeeping at
Walden Pond, and admircs his resolu.
tion in throwing the fragments OF lime
stone, with which he had ornamented
his desk, out of the window when he
found that they must be busted every
day; but there is absolutely no use in
frc,ting over petty annoyances, and
since the danger OF falling into the
habit is great, every sensible woman
will cndcavor TO look upon the bright
side of all her troubles.
Suppose the baked potatoes should
be eaten the momen, they are done,
and an important member of the family,
knowing the dinner hour, is late,
don't worry over the matter; every
such little worry INDUCED in is like a
chisel deepening the lines already
formed by some real trouble. Every
body, il is to be feared, knows women
who never seem really TO rouse up to
