glad, merry laugh, were al manifest or
mingled in his various moods. But there
were a thoughtful seriousness, a deep
fount of tenderest love and entire unself-
I l5hness, that were peculiar to himself and
made him, the youngest. the especial
darling of all. In each heart he was
cherished as the one whose talents would
some day be the glory of their name.
When they first spoke of the change in
prospect, they had cheerfully accepted
the consequent labor and self denial be-
fore them, but in each heart was the
settled purpose that Alfred's opportuni-
ties for developing all the powers with
which he seemed endowed should not be
in any respect curtailed.
Eustace Dunbar had for years been one
of the household. He was the son of a
dear friend of Mr.. Newton's, and at his
fathers death had been committed to his
kind care. Guardian of the son and ex-
ecutor Of his fathers estate, Mr.. Newton
had made his home q happy one for the
young orphan when at an early age he
was sent to him from India.
EuStace had been as tenderly nurtured
and educated as his guardians own sons
and his small property SO wisely invested
that now at the age of 81 he was well es-
tablished in a prosperous business. His
love for Lillian had sprung up from the
beginning and few months before she
went abroad, on the eve of his own de-
parture for India. Their betrothal W IS
fully recognized. The arrangements for
their marriage in the course Of few
months were in progress when this mis-
fortune came upon her father.
Jasper Grenville was from a wealthy
southern family. Sent north to be edu-
Gated, he entered the same college with
George the year that Dunbar graduated.
His manners were very attractive and
his character unblemished. Through
George he became intimate with Mr..
Newton's family and soon learned to
love Rose with all the enthusiasm of his
southern nature, and she fully recipro-
sated the affection. Their marriage was
not to take place for two years, and then
he hoped to bear her to his native home,
whose beauties he never wearied of por-
traying to her in glowing colors.

DIR. Livingston Speai<s Again.
Dr. Livingston, resident of the little
village of Bennettsvillc. Chenango coun-
ty, has regained the power Of speech and
hearing after having been IL deaf mute
for nearly 65 years. About two weeks
ago he awoke in the night with very
severe pain il his head, as if he had been
struck with club. He called out to his
wife, who was sleeping beside him. At
The sound of his voice she awoke. aston

she had never before heard him speak.
AS sooa as she recovered from her sur
prise she asked him what was the mat
ter Her words were tho first he had
beard since he was an infant and the
revelation of his changed condition as

time grew less acute, and he and his wife
talked until morning OF his wolid erful
recovery.
The news spread quickly, and al the |

with congratulations. Conversation at |
first caused him great annoyance, but |
he has gradually become accustomed to
it. His vocabulary, which at first was
limited, has increased, and he has no
in expressing himself.
When Dr.. Livingston was 8 years old,
Il severe attack of scarlet fever left him
entirely deaf. The few childish words
he knew gradually were forgotten, and
by the time he was years old be became
q mute. Despite his past affection, the
old man is intelligent and well read. He
is at u loss to account for his strange
good fortune, and the physicians in the
neighborhood can shed no light on the
mystery.
DR.. Livingston is anxious TO have his
case investigated by the medical frater-
nity, in hope that some explanation as to
ais recovery can be given. The pain
which he felt in his head gradually passed
Town his spine into his legs and then
eft him entirely. Though II years old,
ne is in excellent health.-Cor. Utica
