Eyes, love-" answered the lawyer,
speaking more considerably than be-
fore, and looking up from his book"
The change in her husbands look and
| tone gave her courage.
George" she proceeded, "Iam sadly
ignorant upon those law questions, and,
perhaps, am needlessly so. I know l
ought to be able at least to understand
your labors, if I cannot assist You with
my advice. I wish you would teach
me-"
"Teach you" cried George, with a
frightening eye. "YOu don't know
what joy it would give me.
''Then, why not commence now? viii
you explain to me the nature of this case
you have in hand ?"
George shut mp his book, and moved
nearer to his wife's side. He told her
that the suit was brought by the owners
of land upon the river to recover heavy
damages, which they alleged had been
sustained in consequence of al alEera-
lion in the dam of the manufacturing
company. After he had stated the case
as plainly as he could, he explained to
her the different points of evidence
which bore upon it, and also the differ
ent points of law; and, ere long, she be-
gan to grow really interested.
There was something novel and curl
Gus in the subtle bearings of facts when
she understood them, and it was really
entertaining to follow them out in their
relations to law and reason. At length
she began to ask questions-and she
asked for information, too; for beneath
the influence of her husbands zeal and
ingenuity of opening the case she had
caught the spark and become Jealous
also.
And so the evening passed away and
it was the happiest Addie had spent for
a long while. She saw where the cloud
had come from, and she saw how it
might be banished and, moreover, she
resolved that it should be banished
henceforth and forever.
Chow goes your case, George % she
asked on the following evening. "Have
you gained any further assurance ?"
81 have all [ want, love. am sure of
carrying the day"
"Oh, [ nope you will y
THAT hope is worth an extra fee"
the husband cried, putting his arm
about the wife's neck and kissing her
"Give me your smile of cheer, sweet
Addie, and I'll go on without fear
And he had it ever after that. From
that time Addie stroye to feel an interest
in his business, and she was surprised to
find how easily she could comprehend
things which had heretofore appeared so
eniglnaticaI to her. Her husband now
sought her society more and more; he
gave her all his confidence; he revealed
to her all his hopes and fears; he stated
to her all the points he meant to estab-
Iish in the cases he had entered on his
docket; and in time she was able not
only to give him her sympathy and
cheer, but she could frequently give him
words of counsel that were Of value.
And were her own affairs forgotten
during all this time ? BY nc mea1-o.
inc Iil,,. interest she manifested a. her
husbands s affairs, the more earnest was
he to help her o4t in hers. She had
labored some to attain the' perfect Joy
she sought, but the very labor had be-
come a source of Joy in itself, as all la
bors must become which are of love and
duty.

4 SCHOOL-DAY.

Nov, John, the district teacher says,
With fruwn that scarce can hide
The dimpling smiles around her mouth,
Where Cupid's hosts abide,
''What have you done to Mary Ann,
That she is crying so ?
Don't say twas nothing'-don't, say,
For, John, that can't be so;
"For Mary Ann would never cry
At nothing, am sure:
And if you've wounded justice, John,
You know the only cure
Is punishment, So. come. stand up;
TransGression must abide
The pain attendant on the scheme
That makes it justified"
So John steps forth, with sun-burnt face,
And hair all in a tumble,
His laughing eyesa contrast to
His dropping mouth so humble.
"Now. Mary, you must tell me all

But outraged law must be avenged

RECREATIoNs IN SCIENCE.
''The sun is 100000 years old, and
will last Is, 100000 years longer"
This fact will quiet great deal of anx-
| iety and alarm. An impression had got
abroad that the sun would only last
1900, 900 years longer. The sun hold
its age well. Oldest habitants say
it does not look a day older than it did
sixty y-fve years ago.
The temperature of the moon is at
least 200o below zero, and it is highly
edifying to mingle oldest inhabitants
who congregate around the village bar
room stove in midwinter, and listen to
theit lies about the cold January of
100,7o years B. c., when water tro9e
while boiling on the stove. The hy-
pothesis, however, that the temperature
of the moon is 200o below zero is evil
IDENTIFY false one. If the theory were
tenable, the United States Government
would have sent an exploring expedition
there to freeze to death.
Some stars are so far away that their
light, moving with velocity OF 1872, 900
miles per second, require $4,000 years to
reach our eyes; but by "colliding" with
a half-open door, when cropping about
dark room at midnight, the light of
129, $40, 100000, 200 stars, more or less,
Will reach our eyes simultaneously with
their first appearance. Puck.

A SIRENS SONG.
sDo you love me truly, Harold p
Luriine Neversink was even more
beautiful than usual as she stood in the
soft, mellow light that streamed from
the chandelier overhead and looked
down fondly upon her George W. Simp
son. Bending tenderly over the girl,
he kisses her in a chaste, New Haven,
Conn. manner, but does not trust him
self to answer in words the fateful ques-
ton she has asked. And then they pass
into the music room, which is separated
from the hall by portjerc Of navy blue
velvet. The windows of the room are
shaded by curtains of the same rich
color, and the walls between them are
covered with paintings. Statues OF
Mozart, Beethoven and Guido fillej
inches, while over the low mantel hung
a ful-longth portrait of Maud S. n
seated herself at the piano.
Lurline began to sing. Carried away
by the inspiration of the moment, she
sang on and on, until at last she paused
from sheer exhaustion. And then, see
ing that George was not at her side, she
| turned to the .tdtteuiI at her left. There
he lay-dead- all the proud grandeur
of his glorious manhood. The mellow
light from the chandelier stole into the
hushed chamber of death and wandered
over his stately form, that lay powerless
and stricken, over his noble, handsome
face, telling, even in death, of the death
less love he bore her.
He had forgotten to plug up his ears.

He had been sending his paper to GER

The AStOrS of To-Day.

William B. Astor lived a quiet, un-
eventful life. He was married, says a
New York paper, to daughter of Gen
eral Armstrong, President Madison's
Secretary of War. They had six chill
dren, three sons and three daughters
He died in 1875, and two years later a
marble memorial altar costing 5000, 900
was erected in his honor in Trinity
Church. 1t is estimated that his estate
was worth at least $40, 900, 900. He left
5000, 900 to the Astor Library, and large
sums to various public charities. To
every member of his family he left a
handsome legacy. The bulk of his for
tune he beQucathed to his sons William
and John Jacob, and between them he
divided equally the fortune left him by
his father. His third son, Henry, had
retired to a handsome country seat on
the Hudson, caring little for the posses
sion of great wealth. William and John
Jacob are thus left the present represen-
tatives of the great family and fortune
founded by their grandfather. They are
to-day worth probably more than $7O,-
OOO, 600 each, and their wealth is steadily
increasing. They are interested IN nc
! business and own not a share of stock IL
any corporation. All their wealth is IL
real estate, in New York city mostly.
They own block upon block in the
richest business part of the city, anC
block upon block of the finest brown
stone palaces on Murray Hill. Then
sole business is to collect their rents anC
buy more property. They never sell
They are good landlords; that is, they
! keep all their property in the best of re
pair, and are attentive to all the wants o
their tenants. But on the other hanC
they are very strict in the collection o
rents. Like their father and grand

Addie became the wife of George

clouds. But as time rolled on, and the
