Consanguiueous Marriages.

The results of consanguineous mar
riages have been differently regarded
by various authors of note. Esquirol
attributed to them a predisposition TO
insanity among the descendants.
Meniere asserts that in the majority of
cases deaf mutes owe their infirmity
20 the ties of relationship between their
parents. Lucas thinks that these mar
riages are a cause of degeneration in
the human race, producing mental dull
ness, brutality, insanity, impotency, etc.
Liebreich states that eonsanguinity is
frequently the cause of Elementary
retinitis among the descendants. Ray
maud ranks II among the conditions
which may produce albinism. On the
other hand, some authorities have en-
plicitly declared themselves in favor of
such marriages, and assert that they
are not at all injurious, and that gen.
orally they give good results. In the
face OF such extreme opinions il is per-
haps not astonishing that there are to
be found names of equally high repute
among those who affirm that these mar
riages are productive of both good and
evil results, depending on whether or
rot any constitutional disease affects
either partly. Y. Tribune.

CHAPTER Nv.

How did the bond which was stolen
from the Safety Security company
over year ago get into the Gel
lar of an old country house be-
longing TO a former employee Of the
bank? Who could have dropped il
there, and where were the rest? Was
a trap laid for me?
Sonntag, Skinner, jackson, the I'M
explained and curious relation between
these three, the walled-up cellar, the
underground passage undoubtedly lead
ing to- it, and so safely guarded-what
could it all mean? Was it possible
that my old house was the receptacle of
the stolen property, AID Sonntag,
Skinner, even jackson, the gang, or o
portion of It, had perpetrated the rob
berry?
IL this was true, then there was an
attempt being made to furnish some
proof which would throw conviction
upon me.
Was this the mystery which sur
rounded me? Single-handed, how could

Morley, who, being trustee of the

the affair. But that gentleman's own
evident troubles, and the unwillingness
to add q greater load to the already
overburdened man, turned me from the
idea of aid from that direction.
There was another one, and the
thought had no sooner come into my
head than l proceeded to follow it up.

il was not that alone which caused such
a complete decentralization of my nerves
and so absolute a terrorism of all my
faculties. There was something more
than the demonstration just encoun-
tered, something from within myself.
Looking back TO the time now / real

After awhile / began to realize more
and more that the intensity of the fear
which had swept over me was not

/ secuted all idea of a supernatural ORR
gin; but, then, what was il?
The season of the year had arrived
when the farmers had about completed
the garnering of an abundant harvest,
and therefore a feeling Of content
abounded. The countryside was over
run by tramps, the members of the dus-
ty fraternity well knowing that food
was never denied hungry man by the
well-provisioned farmers. Perhaps the
cook-house cellar was a rendezvous for
a number of tramps. was so eager to
arrive at some explanation of the event
which would have y-holly materialistic
bearing that the absurdity of a man
seeking a resting-place in a damp foul
cellar, when a much more comfortable
bed might be secured out at the barn
amid the hay and straw, did not strike
me.
Then, too, the place would undoubt-
cdly lose degree of horror il light
was introduced. So, seeing that my
pistol was in my pocket, and taking the
candle and some matches, again made
for the cook house. Having resolved to
descend again into the mysterious
gloom, did not allow myself to pause
and think; that would mean perhaps a
return of my fright. Unjust plunge into
the mystery suddenly, or not at all.
II was like taking a cold-water bath;
the longer one waits the harder to make
the plunge.
Inside the cook house ! lit the candle
and, taking the pistol from my pocket,
approached the stairway.
About again TO descend, the recollec-
ton of my first experience came to me
in all the force of its unearthly quail
tiles, and was seized with a trembling
At. My knees smote together, and my
hand shook so that the flame of the
candle was nearly extinguished.
The return of my fear, however, made
me all the more resolved to go on. i
eritted my teeth, and, advancing my
pistol in readiness, slowly began the
descent. Not q sound greeted my ears
save that made by my own footsteps.
After reaching the bottom step held
the candle aloof and gazed expectantly
around.
The room was about 20 feet square; ;
the fat stones with which ii was paved
and the surrounding walls were Shiny
with moisture, and here and there re-
flected back the light of the candle
That was all. No human being was in
sight. not sign of one having been
here.
At my feet a part Of the stone pave
ment had been removed and plank in
serted. Lying near the edge of the
plank was q paper with some printing
on the outside, like that on bond or
deed. / stepped down upon the plank,
and again noticed that one end

Standing there on the bottom step, an
unaecountable fear came over me.
Probably il has been perceived from
this history that impotence regarding

IT CANNOT BE.

~ Ssnnot be that He who made
>'rhis wondrous world for our delight.
Designed that all its charms should fade.
And pass forever from our sight:
That all shall wither and decay,
And know on earth no .fe but this,
With only one finite survey
OF all its beauty and its bliss.
], cannot be that all the years
OF ton and care and grief We live
Shall ind no recompense but tears,
No sweet return that earth can give:
That all that leads us TO aspire
And struggle onward TO achieve.
With every unattained desire,
Was given only 20 deceive.
IL cannot be that after all
The mighty conquests OF the mind
Our thoughts shall pass beyond recall.
And leave no record here behind;
That all our dreams OF love and fame.
And hopes that time has swept away.
All that enthralled this mortal fame,
Shall not return some other day.
II cannot be that all the ties
OF kindred souls and loving hearts
Are broken when this body dies.
And the immortal mind departs:
That no serener light shall break
At last nna- SIR mortal eyes.
