I' “ If hard work and essiduous attention to his patients go for anything Robert Will commend success ; and as for the house, It is for you he has taken and furnished it. you know, Marian 1 Your father ought not to be too intolerant." It is the sister of the "Robert" under discussion who says this, end the one to whom she makes reply is Marian Lepell, the bride-elect of Robert Annealey, a. clever young surgeon who has recently givon up his practice at Walton-on-Thames. and bought one in the neighborhood of Caven- dish Square. . ,,,,n -_.A.....L. “nun M 1-..”. “ Oh I I like the house well enough; don’t take up the idea. that I am discon- tented with it or with anything else that Robert gets or does for me,” Marian says, coldly, for it is not according to her notion of the fitness of things that any one should correct her as to any opinions she may choose to hold about Robert, her own pecu- liar property; “ but you can hardly wonder at my not being eluted at the prospect of leaving Walton. I looked forward to living there for years to come, having momma and the girls close by; near enough for us to be together every day would have been at!) pleasantâ€"now, here I shall be quite a one." Miss Annesley feels that a. faint color mounts to her brow as her future sister-in- lsw ssys this, for it is in the projected order of things that she (Dolly) is to con- tinue to live with her brother. and now his wife that is to be appears to be ignoring this arrangement. “Worse than alone, in fact,” Marian goes on, in her low, sweet, unemphstio tones, “ for Robert is sure to get into a. air- cle of stiff professionals, and I shall have the trouble of entertaining them at dull dinner-parties without any help from msmzns. sndAthe girls." “Perhaps I shall be able to help you,” Dolly says reassuringly; and than some- thing like a. feeling of contempt [or the well-mannered puerile grumbler seizes her, and she addsâ€" “ At any rate, I can’t regard your griev- ance as a. serious one. If you preferred your mother and the girls to Robert you needn’t have taken him; now that you have taken him you ought to think more of his interests and less of leaving Walton.” “ Ah! yes, of course, you would be ready to go into heroics and the wilderness with the man of your heart," Marian says, with a slight sneering smile; “there's none of that sort of ‘ Wherever-thou-art-would- seem-Erin-to-me‘ sentiment about me. Mamma says I shall find this plush furni- ture will wear vilely; I almost wish I had persuaded Roljert against it." > ‘ “Come and see the other rooms now they’re finished. they look so difiezent to what they did the other day,” Dolly arias. jumping up, heartily glad of the change of topic, and eager to lead the future mistress of it over the perfectly appointed house. But Miss Lepell has no fancy for making .an informal progress over her new demesne. “ Where is Robert ‘2" I wdl wait for him to take me over the house.

She goes after having eunoicted this sen- timent, and. with a. cry and a bound of joyous relief, Dolly gets herself into her own room. where large basins, full of perfect roses, crimson and cream, in full bloom and in bud, are waiting for her to sew them in bands and clusters on the bodice and skirt of the ivory satin which is to be moulded on to her splendid, pliant young form at a. later period of the dsy. Her first thought is that if she goes to Ireland to-night she Will miss meeting Ronald Mackiver, and how deer a meeting is to unacknowledged lovers no lovers who are “ unacknowledged” need be told. Her second is that if Robert wants her she must go with him. and the roses must fade unworn upon that perfect dress. It is a. little herd, but there is no sign of feeling the hardship of it in the tone in which she says:â€" aw,” “ OHered you Darraghl To lend its to you, do you mean ‘2" “ No, no; to sell it to me. I’ll tell you all about it by and by; but get ready to start by six o’clock like a. good girl. I want you to see the place, and than you’ll under: stand what a: magnificent investment it is.

He goes on his way buoyently, and Dolly orders a few necessaries into a. smell travelling-trunk, and sees the flower- wreethed dress laid aside with s. gallently suppressed sigh. She does not believe that her brother is at all the men for Gelwey any more than that she is the girl for it. Still she has nothing tangible to urge against the scheme. and the thought of the Lepells’ wrath when they come to hear of the transaction does not fill her wit_h_dilsms.y.' “VII-l _..- __. “ They love to think that Marian 13 com- ing down from her throne in marrying Robert, but they’re good-hearted people for all that. and it’s only their love for her that makes than} ink is it no one were u - L- A»: nun”: Luqu... ~~__ -..._ good enough for. her.” Dolly thinks, and than she dismisses Marian from her mind, and gives a. few moments’ consideration to whet “ might have been” at Lady Killeen's dance to-night. When her brother comes down to swoop her off to the station he finds her writing these few lines to Ronald Meekiver : “ DEAR Rostnrâ€"Business takes Robert to Ireland to-night, and Robert takes me. Don’t wait for me, therefore, but waltz with the nicest girl in the room. You shall hear directly I come back. Yours always, “You’re not telling Muclgmer anything about Darregh, are you ‘2” ‘v r.

Quaint, picturesque old Chester is passed, the valley of the Dee is rushed through, and Holyhead is gained before some of the guests reach Lady Killeen's house in Charles Street.

My dear Dolly, dismiss all that nonsense from your mind. and look plain facts in the face; the crops were good last year, and promise to be even hate: this; the count? is quiet and pros- perous, and not at all iseflected. They’re purely private considerations that make Killeen want to sell Darragh. The people are just exactly what the landlords make them. Treat them well and liberally, let them live like men and women, and not like pigs, out of the land they labor on. and their worst acts of rebellion will be to sing, ‘ Let Erin remember the days of old,’ and ‘ Wearin’ of the Green.’ ” UL Ulu, aluu " USE-.1” v. nun. v-..v_. " I’m prepared to be delighted with Dar- regh and to be devoted to the people; but several of our friends heve failed to find perfect felicity on their Irish estates, and I don’t think that they were much less deserving than we are.” the girl laughs as the train runs into the stationâ€"a. fortu- itous circumstance, whiah enables her brother to evafle answering he! in a nonre- nient and creditable manner. It is a busy day in Dublin. and the “ Shelbourne” is wide awake by the time they reach itâ€"wide awake, but in deshabille still, as is evidenced by the crummineae of the table cloths and the dustinees of the furniture of the spacious saloon into which they are ushered for breakfast.

Meantime, Robert Aunesley. who has all his life been wont to act on impulse, and repent him of his acts at his leisure, is pooupied in reading up all the information he can glean from an agent’s letter and sundry guide-books about Darrsgh and its neighborhood. All that he learns from the guide-books 1 is intensely satisfactory. “Darragh lies! between Oranm‘ore and Galway City, and from its well-wooded grounds beautiful views of the islands of Arran and Galway Bay are to be had. These grounds are wildly and romantically beautiful in some parts, and in others highly cultivated, richly planted, and intersected with walks that are bordered by magnificent shrubs and grand old trees. The house is a hand- some gray stone structure with a square tower at one end and a turret at the other, and of sufficient size and importance to justify its owners in calling it a castle if they pleased. But hitherto its owners have rightly been contented to call it simply Darragh. It is said that lead has been found in large quantities on the demesne, but mining operations have never been carried out, and, therefore, we can hardly ' give credence to this rumor." , L:_r-_n.._“- “ Dolly, I believe I’m in for a big fortune in buying this property," Robert says, call- ing his sister’s attention to this passage. and she, being quite as desirous for his welfare as he is himself. reads it with avidity and replies With sympathy : “ It seems to be all that you could wish, Robert; Maxim: can’t help liking such a place. I see maidenhair ferns are found down among the fissures of the rocks on the coast side of th_e gropndp. How lovely 1" ‘“'1 “ Almost as good as the lead, eh, Dolly ‘2” he says, Vvith a. good tempered, superior, patronizing air. He almost feels as if he were the lord of Darragh already, and though he will soon have to crave a great few: from his sister, he cannot help deporting himself as such to her already. _--A a Mr, : 4 A. “ What a climate it must be! Maiden- hair ferns growing wild, roses and myrtles blooming and living in the open air all the year round. just as they do in Cornwall and the Soilly Isles, and a soft humidity in the atmosphere from the influence of the Gulf Stream, which is instrumental in keeping fresh and fair the notoriously beautiful bloom of Irish girls. Robert, if you strike lead, and Marian finds the air agree with her complexion, you‘ll be a happy man.” Among these themes Dolly’s tongue ran on in sheer gladness of heart. She has quite got over her chagrin at having been kept away from Lady Killeen’s ball and missing Ronald Maokiver, and all her cur- rent interest. is given to Darragh and her brother. He cannot help wishing, as she goes on talking of the fragile ferns, and the blooming flowers, and the gigantic lobsters with which this land is blessed, that MISS Lepell “ would speak. and think, and feel, and look a little more like Dolly.” Not but what he is very fond of his grandly pro- portioned love, and more than very proud of her; but as he thinks about her this evening in the streets of Galway, where everything is entirely unlike all the towns of his expe< rienoe, he cannot help feeling that Marian , is meant for the well-established walks of ‘ life, and that she will fail to find any poetry in the_Claddagh. ‘ . . ,v,,,_.,: r~"-.I "r" a Late into the night Robert Annealey and his sister saunter about through the streets of the old town. where the wide gateways, broad stairs, and a variety of Iantastic architectural ornamentation car- ries them in imagination to the Granada and Cadiz of which they have read.

Killeen didn’t any that he wanted the pur- chase-money down, but I find from the agent’s letter that if Iwant Duragh I must be prepared to pay ten thousand poulflg at once." “ I’ll lay furnishing-pipes on from Dub- ,lin; that will soon he eel: straight.

He'll never oppose you, or be anything but a. firm ally to such a. liberal employer and good landlord as you will be," she says, with an air of half-questioning astonish- ment that makes him retort, impamentlyâ€" “ You know nothing about it, dear; if people get stirred up against law and order they don’t care whether the law is lenient to them and the order agreeable or not; they’ll rebel against it, and try to make it hot for those who enforoe it," that’s What Killeen found here, and I believe that’a the _ren.son he’s letting me have this place so cheap." “Don’t come here if you're not: coming with your whole heart,” Dolly cries in a. Exophetje spint, and then she wishes she ad bitten her tongue before she had spoken thus! when hegbrojher rep_1ie_s: “ Are you afraid thgt ' I Shall sink your money and never be able to repay yog? M dear child, you're all safe ; even it Dam-mg turns out to be a worse investment than I thing It pow, you shall not be a. loser by:_i_t.” " Don’t fear for me,” she says smiling swam-aging! â€"t1;ying to win him from the sombre moo into which he has fallen for a. few moments, .“Qon’t fear for me I Dnrraghl I feel that I shall loye the plane ; the name delights me already.

Dear old boy. I wouldn’t have him‘think-‘me grudgiug and cautious about the money for the world." She is so buoyant, so blithely delighted with Dnrragh and the prospect of life there for a. time, that her brother, whose nature it is to look always on the sunny side, sees a vista. of unlimited prosperity and happi- ness stretching out before him. They penetrate into every nook and corner of [he rembiing old home, which has been the home of some of the mighty Lynohes in days of yore. The “trefoil and the lynx" are curved over many of the mantlepieces, and in one painted-glass window (they find not only the coat-of-arms, but the Inotto, “Guarded by its own virtue,” which the great Galway race had taken for its own. On some of the tattered tapestry in the state bedroom the trefoil still blooms in faded silks, and the lynx still watches as keenly as when, generations ago, the dames and damsels of the house worked it with their fair and skilful fingers. There isa buffet full of grand old silver, and some carved black bog osk that seems to have been touched by fairy fingers, and taught to blossom into flower and last. And stsnding in solitary state, chained to the massive table on which it stands, there is a. giant punch-bowl of Irish gold, over which orgies, the remebmnce of which mekes modern blood run cold, have been held. [low Mrs. Phipps Raised Money to Save the Major. The following. illustrating the energy and devotion of Mrs. Phipps, wife of Major Phipps, is from the Philadelphia Record of Tuesday: Attorney-at law Alfred Moore, one of the present gas trustees, inaugurated legal proceedings yesterday to foreclose a mortgage for $4,200, held by him against property of the imprisoned ex-Almshouse Superintendent, Ellis P. Phipps. and the latter's wife, Clara W. Phipps. The lien is ,dated Jan. 5th. 1882, and covers three houses which are owned by Mrs. Phipps herself. Awrit of fieri facias was issued out of Common Pleas Court No. 1. and is in the nature of a notice that if interest now overdue is not promptly paid the real estate will be sold out. From the first. since her husband’s troubles began, Mrs. Phipps has been sacrificing everything of her own, including even her jewels. to shield him from ruin. She is now penniless, and it is almost certain that no effort will be made to save the mortgaged property. When the exposure of Major Phipps was imminent his wife was striving with all her power to avert the calamity. She called on Mr. Moore, who had known her for years, and told him she must have 34,000 at ones. He was willing to loan the money it good security were given. She said she could not spend a moment upon any discussion about the conditions, and offered the three properties in question. They were accepted, the mortgage was executed, and the devoted wife received the coveted cash. Had Phipps’ exposure not taken place there would have been no necessity for the foreclosure, for the pro- perties are in good condition and could have been easily disposed of at private sale. As it is, few persons would care to take them now with the judgments standing against the convicted ex‘superintendent. and it would be difficult to get any one to take title from the wife alone. Minnie Mitchell, of Shreveporth, com- mitted suicide on the day in which her lover was killed on the railroad. “ I have already outlived my allotted time,” said Mus. Mary Bach, of Wheeling, W. Va.., and then she killed herself. She was 87 years old. After losing a. auifi, and being roundly abused for in by his client, 001. J. J, Pickett, of Gateaville, 'lex., took twenty-two grains of morphine. Grief for his first wife caused Samuel T. Magruder, of Darnestown, Md‘. to out his throat, although he had been married about one year to an estimable lady. Mrs. H. V. Jones, a Philadelphia bride of but two months, took laudanum because her husband forbade her taking money from the cash drawer of his store. Mrs. Kincaid, of Rutlnnd, 0., was enter- taining a. merry company of friends in her parlors. Suddenly B118 excused her- self, went out, and drowned herself in the cistern. Jennie Roberts, of Meadville, Pa.., could not get permission from her parents to attend a. dance upon which she had set her heart. She resented their refusal by drowning herself in the mill pond. After living 73 years, Mrs. Eliza. Cook. of West Mexico, Mo.. widow, thought she was too old to be useful in the world. She drove a. large pair of blunt scissors into the top of her head with a. heavy iron bolt. When Mrs. Witty, a. cousin of Frank and Jesse James, found she had married her husband under a. false name she com- pelled him at the point of a. pistol to marry her again under his real name of Singleton. When Singleton was shot by “ Canada. Bill”. she was surprised to have another woman come to his bedside and claim him as his wife. She drove her out at the pistol’e point. Singleton died, and his devoted wife took morphine. Bright’s Disease, Diabetes. Kidney, Liver or Urinary Diseases.

The following syixopsis of a. lecture delivered by Dr. Horace 1i. Hamilton befure the New York Society for the ‘rromotion of Science contains so much that is timely and impuxtaut that it can be xead with bpthjnteresg {mud profit; : There is probably no subject of modern times that has caused and is causing greater attention than the origin of tornadoes. Scientists have studied it for the benefltpi humanity; men have investigated it for the welfare of their families. It has been a vexed subject long considered, and through all this investigation the cyclone has swept across the land carrying destruction to scientists as well as to the innocent dwellers in its track. One thing, hOWever, is certain; the cause of the cyclone must be sought far away from the whirling body of wind itself. Its results are powerful ; its cause must also be powerful. Let us therefore considerafew facts. First, the apearance of a cyclone is invariably preceded by dark spots upon the face of the sun. These spots, indicat- ing a disturbed condition of the Solar regions, necessarily affect the atmosphere of our earth. An unusualgeneration of heat in one part of the atmosphere is certain to cause a. partial vacuum in another portion. Air must rush in to fill this vacuum. Hence the disturbancesâ€"hence the cyclone. This theory finds additional confirme- tion in the fact that tornadoes come during the day and not at night. The dark spots upon the suriace of the sun, whatever they may he, seem to cause greet commotion in the atmosphere of the world, and it is almost certain that the extremely wet weather of the present season can be accounted for on precisely this basis. Is it reasonable to suppose that the marvellous effect of the sun upon vegetation and life in general shall be less than upon the atmosphere itself through which its rays come ‘2 The cause is remote, but the effect isnhero. __ _ M I k Ab Lumvuo, vuu uuv uuuvu m “UAU. After describing some of the terrible efiects 0'! the cyclone, the speaker went on to say : ~ This rule finds its application in nearly eveny department of life.

The President makes a slight stroke of the pen in his study at the White House, and the whole nation is aroused by the act. An uneasiness and disgust w.th everything in life, commonly called home- sickness, is felt by many people, when‘the cause is to be found in the distant home thousands 0! miles away. An uncertain pain may be felt in the head. It is repeated in other parts of the body. 'lhe appetite departs and all energy is one. Is the cause necessarily to be found in the sad. The next day the feeling increases. There are added" symptoms. They conâ€" tinue and become more aggravated. The Slight pains in the head increase to agonies. The nausea becomes chronic. The heart grows irregular, and the breathing uncertain. All these eifects have a definite cause ; and, after years of deep experience upon this subject, I do not hesitate to say that this cause is to be found in some derangement of the kidneys trliver far away from that portion of the body in which these effects appear. but one may say, I have no pain whatever in my kidneys or liver. Very true. Neither have we any evidence that there is a tornado on the surface of the sun , but it is none the less certain that the tornado is here, and. it is none the less certain that these great organs of the body are the cause of the trouble although there may be no pain in their vicinity. _ f . .. ,hrw I know whereof I speak-for I have passed through this very experience myself. Nearly ion years ago, I was the picture of health, weighing more than 200 pounds, and as strong and healthy as any man I ever knew. When I felt the symp- toms I have above described, they caused me annoyance, not only by reason of their aggravatâ€" ing nature, but because I had never felt any pain before. Other doctors told me I was troubled with malaria, and I treated myself accordingly. I did not believe, however, that man“ ia could show such aggravated symptoms. It never occurred to me that analysis would help solve the trouble, as Ldid not presume my uifiiculty was located in that portion of the body. But I con- tinued to grow worse. I had a faint sensation at the pit of my stomach nearly every day. I felt a great desire to eat, and yet I loathed food. I was constantly tired, and still I could not sleep. My brain was unusually active, but I could not “1an connectedly. My existence was a living misery. I continued in this condition for nearly a year ; never free from pain, never for a. moment happy. buch an existence is far worse than death, for which I confess I earnestly longed. It was Wfll e su e g thus theta. friend edâ€" vised me to make a final attempt to recover my health. 1 sneered inwardly at his suggestion, but I was too chk to make any resistance. He furnished me with a. remedy, simple yet palatable and within two days I observed a. slight change for the better. ThlB awakened my courage. I felt that I Would not die at that time. 1 continued the use of the remedy, taking it in accordance with directions, until l became not only restored to my former health and strength, but of greater vigor than I have before known. This condition has continued up to the present time, and I believe I should have died as miserably as thousands of other men have died and are dying every day had it not been fur the eimtle yet wonderful power of Warner's Bate Cure. the remedy I employed. The lecturer then described his means of restoration more in detail, and concluded as follows: My complete recovery has censel me to invesâ€" tigate the subject more carefully, and I believe I have discovered the key to mosn ill-health of our modern civilization. I am Iully confident that tour-fifths of the diseases which afflict humanity might be avoided were the kidneys and liver kept in perfect condition. Were it possxhle to control the action of the sun, cyclones could undoubtedly be averted. That, however, is one of the things that cannot be. But I rejoice to any that it is possible to control the kidneys and liver; to render their action wholly normal, and their efiect upon the system that of purifiers rather than poisoners. That this end has been accomplished largely by means of the remedy l have named I do not have a. doubt, and I feel it my duty to make this open declaration for the enlightenment of the prolession and for the benetit of suffering humanity in all parts of the A state of siege has been imposed on Nijhne Novgorod during the great: fair. world‘ General chiluy and Liver Complain".
