snow Vivian rushed down the steps and flung herself upon her knees be- fore him.
 lncoherent utterances of unspeak- able remorse and infinite tenderness quivered from her pale lips as she clasped that wounded head to her bosom, and let her bitter tears drop upon the colorless face and closed eye-lIds.
 "Only live, my darling, only five, and the fortune shall not part Us. 1 know now how dear vou are to me, my love, and l will give all else up for your sake" she walled.

 Before the arrival of the latter the injured man opened his dark eyes consciously, to behold his beloved still Ineeling beside him, weeping as if her heart would break.
 .'Do you care so much, sweet?' he murmured.
 II care so much that. if you will forgive me. Neal. the hateful money may be scattered to the four winds, :" she answered.
 He put one arm about her, and drew the qaivering lips down to his own.
 We will keep the money, love; l happen to be the son of that favor ite niece mentioned in your unclc's will he whispered.
 Perhaps Vivian was too agitated for any surprise to affect her, for it was not until aftcrward that the all nouncemcnt had any meaning for her.
 She only seemed to realize that he had pardoned her, that he was her own for all time, and that he was ly- ing there wounded perhaps unto death.
 But the most serious calamity St. Clair had sustained was broken limb.
 (Which is a good deal better than a broken heart" he said, quite mer- rily, to his darling.
 And only for the broken limb l believe you would have left me en- tirely, without revealing your true idcnity," Vivian half pouted.
 "Only for the little accident you might never have revealed your true self to me. As it is, am sure of having won my ideal" St. Clair re- turcd with a happy smile"
 What wonderful New Year 1t has been!' Vivian murmured, thoughtfully.
 And, from the sweet haven of her lovers arms, she thanked heaven for the unexpected good with which thcir year had begun.-[ [Gearaldine Fleming.

At the present era, when physical culture
IS part Of the curriculum Of our most intel
lectual schools, and is so generally regarded
as a necessary element toward supplying and
maintaining the sound body for the sound
mind, it is worth while to consider a recent
statement Of eminent physicians that the
mere exercise of singing is a great help toward
the prevention, cure or alienation of lung
diseases. In the incipient state Of such dis
cases it is even said to be a powerful aid 70 a
cure. 1t is, indeed, somewhat curious that
the medical fraternity have not exploited the
theory Of lung exercises by singing moro
fully heretofore than they are now doing, for
the action of calisthenics in developing the
chest and of gymnastics in strengthening mus
cuIar tissue have FOR years been a universal
practice, although as a matter Of fact the
mere physical exercise Of singing brings into
play an extraordinary number OF muscles
that can hardly be suspected Of action in con-
nection with the throat expansion.
1t was disclosed by statistics in Italy some
years ago that vocal artists were usually long
lived and healthy. and that brass instrument
players, who bring their lungs and chest into
unusual activity, have not had a consump
tive victim among them. No matter how
thin or weak the voice, children or young
people should be encouraged TO indulge II
song. There can be no happier medicine
and II hearers sometimes suffer they should
be encouraged and strengthened to bear thu

The FUTURE OF THE NEGRO.


Many are the predictions that have
gone forth relative to the defeat of the
Democratic party of the State of Della
ware.
Il is easier to predict than to accom-
plish defeat especially in the face of so
great Democratic majority as in this
State.
The Republicans have openly asserted
that Delaware viii be provided with the
money to bring out the colored vote and
TO purchase the "foater.
The difficulty with the Democrats in
Delaware is to get their voters to vote
There is an unquestioned Democratic
majority in the state. and that fact be-
gets a dangerous confidence.
The Republicans on the contrary are
fighting battle for life. II they should
be beaten this fall their political career
will have ended. Therefore, they win
trust nothing to chance.
Their desperation makes them danger
Gus, II will require the solid Democratic
vote Of the state to accomplish Repub-
lican defeat, and this vote must be polled
before that result win be assured Every
Democratic voter must be visited, in
person If necessary, to secure his attend
ance at the polls. and a way provided
for his transportation if he is unable to
attend otherwise
II the Republicans inaugurate a hun
bred canvass. the Democratic managers
ought to make house-to house canvass
The reserve, or stay at home vote, of the
party, which has been unreasonably large
in previous elections, must be reduced to
a minimum. The active strength of
the rank and file should be proportion
ately increased This way lies victory.
The question as to how the negro viii
vote at the approaching election is an in
teresting problem. The sole article in
their political creed has heretofore been
that they must act with the Republican
party. They we're taught that it was
this party that freed them, and they be-
lieyed that 1t was the only party to which
they could look for the preservation Of
their liberty. They were made to fear
that Democratic control Of the National
Government would lead to the restora.
tion of slavery. This fear was removed
by the first year of Clevelands admins
tration, and the only force that remains
to keep them as a body in the Republican
party, is gratitude for their emancipa-
ton.
This sentiment is not fostered by pres
ent conditions. The Republican party
Of to-day is not what it was, aud the
negroes cannot continue to be the dupes
Of a name They cannot fail to recog-
nize the abysmal difference between the
party of higgins and the party Of
Abraham Lincoln. They are in no way
indebted for their freedom to the Hero
Of the Crater, and no sentiment Of graft
tude can bind them to the organization
that now bids for their votes under the
leadership Of Higgins. Now that these
influences, operated in the past to attach
them in a body to one party, have been

EIsmere-Loss 81 900.
Atwo-story frame house and out build

tween the Newport turnpike and the new
road leading to Brandywine Springs, were
totally destroyed by fire shortly after
noon yesterday. The property was stu.

A brakeman on freight train dis
covered the fire and ran to the house and
gave the alarm. Alfred Hallman, the oc-
cupant Of the house. was at dinner with
his family, all OF them being entirely
ignorant Of the fact that there home was
burning. The children were wrapped in
old shawls and pieces of carpet and
carried out only few minutes before the
roof fell in.
Mailman and the railroad men made
desperate efforts to save some of the
furniture, on which there was no insur-
ance. but they were almost stihed with
smoke, and only succeeded in saving a
cook stove and some kitchen furniture
from the fury of the flames. The high
wind prevailing at that time carried the
sparks to the small buildings, which
were soon levelled to the ground.
The FIRE was caused by defective fue.
The loss will not exceed 81, 900. There
is q small insurance on the building, but
Hallmsn loses every thing.
The Fire Department was sent for but
as the fire was so far away only one com
pany, the Weccaeoe, was ordered out
