the name of that big sum he would place to his boys credit when he made up his mind to marry and settle down, or when Smith and Trewson" should be converted into 'Limited Liability company" From MT. Smith she also learned what the life of successful business man must be; the energy, the enterprise, the unceasing toll, the un- fagging patience that were necessary, and she could not but admire him for what he had achieved.
 It was ''all for Jack" he said; he was plain man himself, not likely to cut much of 8 figure anywhere, but show him the young fellow in any society who was likely to beat his boy. Why, every body loved him. Even when he was a baby, hadn't MT. Wolvercourt, their clergyman, gentleman of first class family, offered to stand godfather to the boy, and had never ceased to love him and take notice of him? Twice every year Jack went to visit his godfather, who was 8 very old man now, too old to preach any longer, quietly wearing out his last years on Q small estate in the west of England.
 By and by there suddenly came the news of this MT. Wolvercourt's death, and Jack was recalled to England to at tend the funeral. Very soon the day ar rived on which he was expected to return to The Grange.
 Frances, feeling uneasy and excited at the prospect of meeting him, had run away, girl-like, and gone to pay her mother and sister a visit at the tiny house in which they had established themselves at Highgate. One of the children opened the door to her. On the parlor table stood bunch of glorious roses, rich pink, crimson and dalnasz; and roses were roses, too, at this late season of the year. Edith came flying in and flung herself into her sister s arms, but when she saw Frances glance at this fragrant bowl. she turned nearly as pink as the flowers themselves.
 "Well, who is the sendery' her sister inquired.
 "Mr. Josselyn, of course," Edith re- piled stoutly. Then, as Frances opened her eyes at the sight of her guilty checks "Oh, they arc quite as much for mamma as for me, 1 assure you" she
 
 "Youl-such a mere child as you!' Frances ejaculated.
 "Well, I'm not such child but that 1 shall soon grow to be woman," said Edith smartly. Then she suddenly threw herself down by her sister and clasped her arms around her waist, tears streaming from her shining eyes. "Oh, Francie, dear, I'm not going to school any more; I'm going to work hard at home for two years and learn all sorts of things-coolling and dusting and sewing and everything useful-for, Francie, wranglers aren't always rich, you know, and oh, I'm so happy don't know what to do with myself"
 Frances hugged her tight, but could not resist little teasing. Why Edith what about the tall, handsome, rich young man with curly hair, who was to be the only lover you would look at"-
 "Frances!" said her sister rcproach- fully, "I was silly little goose then, but know better now. After all, what do appearances matter if the heart is good and true-and---and all your own?'

STARTLING.
This Has No Uncertain Sound.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO OUR PEOPLE IT RINGS WITH A GREAT AND GRAND
 HoPE-sOMETHING THOUSANDS ARE SEEK ING FORA FACT OF MARVELLOUS IMPORT TO ALL.
 NEwBURG, N. Y.-A telegraphic dis patch from Newburg, N. Y., reveals the fact that most marvellous change has taken place in the person of one of it's oldest and best known citizens. H. s. Shorter, Esq, is an old man of 75 years, and lives at 391 Broadway, Newburg, N. Y. It appears that MT. Shorter, who was an extensive lumber dealer, began to grow languid, got tired easily, was ner- vous and debiliated, until at last he be- came so weak and exhausted that he was just able to drag himself around. He lost flesh and strength so rapidly and be- came so alarmingly prostrated that his friends and relatives despaired of his life. Now came the marvellous change. Suddenly MT. Shorter was transformed from his condition of extreme weakness to one of strength; his nerves grew quick ly strong and steady, his muscles became vigorous, his blood was Ievivified and en- riched, he gained 15' pounds in weight and to-day is in sound and perfect health Such remarkable transformation in a man of his age was 8 nine days wonder Of course the cause was eagerly looked for. r ~
 Your correspondent, ,determinedto to know the truth for the papers readers, listened to the following astonishing facts from MT. Shorters own lips:
 II feel like new man! "What do you think of taking an old man of 75 years, physically weak and broken down, and ma0hi7ag him fee1 lite q 6oy 0gain Giving him new life, health and strength, and adding 15 pounds ot solid flesh to his weak and debiliated frame!
 'And all in two months, with three bottles of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy We'll, that is just what has taken place in me- Instead of being weak, debilitated and exhausted, just able to drag myself around, l feel now like a new man
 "'I advise all to use Dr. Greene's Ner. vura blood and nerve remedy! !" Surely this wonderful remedy is a most marvellous health restorer, and, without doubt, the greatest medical discovery o1 the age.
 If it can thus give back health and strength to an old man, weakened and exhaused by disease, how much more surely and certainly will it cure the thousands who are run down, weak, nerv- ous and prostrated, who suffer from poor blood, weak nerves, dyspepsia, indi- gestion, constipation, malaria, kidney and liver complaints, etc. For debility it is a speedy restorer of strength and vigor. Ii you are run down in health and need a medicine to strengthen the nerves, invig- crate the blood, tone up the stomach and regulate the bowels, kidneys and liver, Dr. Greenes Nervura blood and nerve remedy, which is purely vegetable and harmless, and is the best remedy known in the world.
 Use it, for it will restore your health and strength. You can get it at any druggists for $1.
 It is the discovery and prescription of the well-known and successful physician, Dr. Greene, of 35 w. 14th St., New York the eminent specialist in the cure ot nervous and chronic diseases, who can be consulted free, personally or by letter.

 And so, with dry, fearless eyes and tottering steps she passed on into the silence of her own little chamber.

THE FELTON, ON A ROCK.
Well-knowd Wilmington Steamer
Wrecked in Norwalk Harbor.

A special from Norwalk, Conn, Aug.
18th, to the New York Herald, said:
"The steamer Colchester, owned by the
Myers Excursion and Navigation Com
pany, Of New York, while on her way
from New Haven to South Norwalk at
dayhreak this morning to take the
Knights of Columbus on an excursion
to Cornwallon Grove, l.. l., ran on
Sheep Rock, u dangerous reef between
Calf Pasture and Grassy Hammock Is
lands, at the entrance to Norwalk har.
Dor. Captain Solomon Fricl acted as
his own pilot, as there was steersman
on board who claimed to know the
channel. They were trying to make the
harbor through what is known as the
east passage, but got out of the course
and the Colchester went on the rock,
which is submerged at high water. The
Colchester was running at full speed.
The engineer stopped the machinery as
soon as he felt the shock, but not until
the steamer had gone well on the rock,
A biz hole was punched in the bottom
on the port side When the Colchester
settled at low tide the forward portion
of the boat from the bow to the paddle
wheels was entirely out of water. The
enormous strain on the centre of the
vessel caused by the machinery bulged
out the sides Of the hull. The boiler
was shifted, and the hole is constantly
growing larger. Pumps were kept at
work all day, but it will be almost i'm
possible when she is gotten off to keep
her atluat A wrecking tug which ar
rived from New York is now at work
on her."
The Colchester was formerly the we'll
known steamer Samuel NJ. FELTON,, that
ran for so many years between this city
and Philadelphia. The steamer will be
towcd to New York for repairs which
will cost, it is said, about $1,000.

affected arc the coal mines, which put
out about one-tifth of the total output of
