You see, he went abroad with this party of gentlemen, and it would not have been right at all for him to have left them and come with us, as he would so much liked to have done as it was, he spent more time with us than he ought to have dene under the circumstances. His party would not hear of his leaving them. They will sail for home about the middle of nex" month, and he will stay here in New York for a little while before he goes to Baltimore, his home is there, you know, mamma he was born in Mary and." "Yes, I know," said Muriel, quickly, thinking how much more she knew of Percy's Evringham s life than Louie did. "1 am so anxious to have you meet him, mamma, " the girl continued, "I am quite sure you will like him, everybody likes liim; there is nothing to disb'ke about him he is so agreeable aad entertaining, so kind and gent'e, and so very handsome. We all missed him so much after he had left us, even Mr. Brentwood said it seemed as though he took the life out of tke party when he went." " Louie, do you like Percy Evring- ham ' "Do I like him, mamma? why, I like him very much indeed, better than any gen- tleman L have ever met." There was no need tor Muriel to ask her daughter if her feelings for Percy Evringham were any warmer than those of mere friend- ship, the expression of her face, the innocent uplifting ot the frank, truthful brown eyes, told very plainly that Louie spoke the trath when she said she liked him it was only like, nothing more. Very much relieved, -tor notwithstanding Arundel's ideas upon the subject, she could not bring herself to think calmly of her own child and murdered Percy Evringham's son, loviii" each other â€" Muriel sank back in her chair. "1 did not think Aline looked well at all when I saw her yesterday on the steamer," she said, changing th3 subject of conversa- tion rather abruptly. " Perhaps it wai only the effects of the voyage, but it seemeii to me that she looked miserable she was so very pale, and there was such a weary look in her eyes. Was she sick com- ing over " 1 â-  J "A heavy storm overtook us the third day out, and we were all sick for a day or two but it was not the eflects of that illnes's that makes Aline look so pale and miserable. She has looked like that for two months at least," said Louie, sorrowfully. " She has never complained, yet at night she moans in her sleep, and she has chan seed; she is not gay, bright Aline any ery sweet and a ing him very plainH glad to see him, an4:B*i a great joy swept ov«»r him';-, "^V /^S' •She will soon Idn me jlihave n«fc fl^iv long to wait." ciousrMM Lou!i^«hoir^ r^Mi^^^e was .iad«»$ .i-JTII^j^ himi^wWle Muriel and Arundel had been out making ,^. xr t n k j acatt.t|eyca»feito.ite*o'd!ock, anSif^^Sffi. «fS:^f.^«t:.l !t^ wroBly aatsp ffoar^^^WmdiorHoIrt, where he wuwfoaBiam. to hat home, an^ it ll||l3ffMj%|/im op there in an inf eriuJ way. juay moraiiigB he woold say to him- Bslf " I will not go there to-day, I harer been there every d^ this week th^ itflf me, I will wear tdff while he would bi what ho should dO messenger boy would come in brinffini; a message from .Arundol.

When she reached Murieland Arundel followed her. Was it singular that the faces of both were very pale There were strange, wild feelings in Arun- del Anthon'a breast as he looked into the face of the young man whom he had made fatherless. Though Percy Evringham had died by his hand he had been his dearest and most intimate friend. Arundel had loved the man he killed aj he hai never loved any man before or since. Looking now into the face which was so likethe dead one which for so many years had been hidden from all earthly sight, the old tei^erness rose within hi in. It was as though the years had roll- ed baik, hd was youne again, there was no stain of blood upon hisTiand, the young man before him with the dark gray eyes and beau- tiful mouth, was not Percy E\'Tingham's son but Percy Evringham? "himself â€"his 'feay; handsoor.e friend ajjd Arundel's voice trembled as her murmured some words of kindly greeting. Muriel's heart, too, went out towards him just as it had gone 04^Jtha,t night, many years ago, when her tears had fallen as she thought of the little five year-old boy whom her husband's errit^ "brother had made fatherless and^mother^e for it had always seemed to her that th^" was a double mur- der. The blow which had dealt death to Percy Evringham had also laid his young ^vife in her grave and she felt that God held Arundel Anthon responsible for two lives. Her greeting was very sweet and gentle Percy Evringham thought Louie Anthon's father and mot.;er were very charming peo- ple. They gaye him a warm and cordial in- vitation to come to the house whenever he could, and when Louie seconded that in- vitation Percy found it quite irresistible, and that evenings visit was the beginning of 11 any.

Any one would reasonably suppose that the handsome Sax- on face, with its regular features and dark gray eyes, would have reminded him so powerfully of the man for whose death he •was responsible, that Arundel would have feared and hated the very tight of Percy Evringham, but it was to the contrary. It is not strange, when you stop to consider what Arundel Anthon's life had been, that his thoughts were wild and morbid, the out- growth of a brain and heart distcwted and warped. Instead of dreadinz to see Percy, it gave him a strange delight to see the handsome young fellow a guest in his house, happy and at ease there. He liked to con- verse with him, to entertain him in the princely fashion in which it was his usual custom to entertain his friends, to have him seated at his table, eating and drinking â- with him, to know that Percy liked him, honored and respected him, hei Arundel An- thon his father's murderer. It seemed to him that fate in thus bringing Percy Evifeg- ham into his life offered him an opportunity to atone for depriving him of his father by heaping friendship and kindly feeling, favor and hospitalities, upon him. Always courteous, hospitable, agreeable, Arundel had never been more friendly and gracious to anyone than he was to the son of the man who had died by his hand. He gave him the warmest invitations to come to the house whenever he found convenisnt and agreeable for him to do so. "You will always be welcome here, my boy," he said, with that rarely fascinat^Jg smile which alone had made Arundel Anthon so many friends; " there will always be a seat for you at my table; we wdl be very glad to see yoa any time whenever you can." And Percy did go. Tkeie was no place in the world so pleasant to him as the An- thon house. He appreciated the warm wel- come he never failed to receive there no matter when he went the bright smde with which Louie met him, Munel s gentle, kindly greeting, Arundel's warm hand-clasp. It id al^ya pleasant to know you are a wel- shows n^lec%tbeBrentWoodi rh^weiit io their house ^r 7 often, and ^linc. Crushing down the bitter pain in he* heart, entertained him in her own graceful way, listened to him when Ite spoke* of Louie Anthon, saw 4ihe flash that came upoi his face when Loufie's n^me was mentioned, and. made no sign of her own pain. Once her strength nearly forsook her, when one day Percy, noticing the wistful expression in the great dusky eyes, the sorrowful look about the beautiful mouth, said earnestly, -taldng her baud in his, looking down into her face as he spoke "Aline, what is it that is troubling you So many times I have noticed a look ia your eyes that, was not in- them when I first met you. IC'i did not know th^t your life was all sanshinej I should think you were not per- fectly happy, Aline." He saw her lips quiver pitifully as she turned her face from him, murmuring "There are few of us in this world that are perfectly happy." "I wonder if it could possibly be that she ^loVes some one who does not return her love, be said tahimself thoughtfulIy,ar he walked ' away from the bousC, bearing with him the remembrance'of the lovely face, with its quivering lips and sorrowful eyes. "But no, that could not be Aline B.oatwoo I is too proud to give her heart unaiked, too beaut i- lulto ever love in vain." Blind, indeed, you say, was Percy Evring- ham, and blind he was, I grant you but no blinder than other men have been and will be so long as there are men. It is not to be wondered at that Percy found New York very pleasant, thit he lingered there quite unable to tear him- self away from Louie Anthon, to break up the dangerously sweet life that lie was leading, although he knew he ought to go back to Baltimore, and see his grandparents. He wrote them, apologizing for remaining so long away from them, and speaking of his home coming in a rather vague and inde- finite way. Percy did not like to w rite letters. He considered letter-writing a most unmitigated bore, consequently when he found it abso- lutely necessary to write one he said what he had to say in as few words as possible, without any mental rambling from the sub- ject in his thoughts^ He never would write tnuch about hiniself, the life he was Icad^g the people 1^ was thrown incontact with. His grandmother was wont to say in her gentle way, "I know I'ercy is alive wheu I receive a letter from him, that he is alive and is my affectionate grandson, Percy Ev- ringham, but that is about all his letters ever tell me."

' Z^to Bonra. .There, sire few people who ai!e,so consti- tuted that sleep seems to them no necessity, And they can, year afttryear, carry on their business avoc.tions and falfil thq^ir social duties without seeming lofs c/ h^th or strength, with only four or fiva hcurs out of the twenty-four devoted to rest, j There are again persons who can at any jQomant cen4ose themselves into sleep, and joy a short nap, if only for a few minutes. Th» great Napoleon was one of those who, by sheer force ot" will, cpuld put himself to sleep when he chose, and the reby^ repair the -damage to health and strong^ that want of sufficient aest inevitably, brings, these people are, however, exceptions, and the general run of mankind really needs eight hours out of the twenty- foYir for sleep. In the cities and towns the desire for making quick fortunes is the real secret that underlies many of our mistakes of living. The class of persons among us who live on their incomo without the claims of business are comparitively large, aid late hours that might not affect them are the same that other men differently situated are obhged to keep during the gay season yet the latter are ander the necessity of going to business at an early hour of the morning. No won- der that by May many 30ung men are worn out, and stimulate on quinine and morphine, and various ether preparations, to aa to keep up at all. Any young lady ao the end of the season of balls, theatref, and operas canlcitify that she looks worn and jaded that she has no appetite, and that champagne, and even b andy are necessities. There is a woman, to our certain knowledge, who contracted, a taste for stimulants that affected her health' lor years during a long and gay Winter sea- son. And her case |is only one of many. To repair the havoc made by late hours oa tlie complexion â€" and they are certain to ruin a fine one â€" ccsmetics are resorted to, and rougue renews the blush of health, and pow- der th2 purity cf the snowy skiu. The Russian and Turkish baths are found to give some strength and renewed vigor, and the number of them testify to thier patron- age. And yet it lies in the power of the mat- trons, the leaders of society, those wi.6 nat- urally suffer the most from the evil of late hours, 10 remedy it. They can eatily in- sist on a change, and a change for the better. The chaperones who wearily sit througli "just one more dance" are to be pitied. Init they aie to blame as -ttell. Vanity will do niuc'.i indeed, it is .1 lever that can move the wo.dd when lightly applied. 'anity, then, may step in in tome cases and perform -Hhat good advice or sen- sible counsels could ne\ er do. All doctors agree that sleep produces flesh, and a story is told of a fashionable physicaa. who, wlieli a young belle called on him and complained of the thinness of her arms and af krd for a remedy, pre.^criljsd a course of treatment t'lat, if faithfully adhered to, would round tut the offending members into perfect and matchless proportion?, it was simple, and contained no nauseous drugs or change of diet, no athletic evolutions, or modern gym- nastics, no modification of costume, or hints as to thick boots, long walks, early lining, copious draughts of milk or ho-nds of oat- meal neither wrs that terrible last and most fatal cure suggestedâ€" arsenic. No, nothing but simply to go to bed every night at nine o'clock, without loss of one minifte, and sleep till nin; the next morning, if pcs- sibie.

He only wrote that he had met some very pleasant people, friends of the Brentwoods, who were very kind to him, at whose house he i^nt much of his time, and whom he liked very much indeed- So neither Howard Evringham nor his sweet white-haired wife, in whose gentle eyes still lingered the shadow of bitter paia which had come into them years before, when, gently as they could^ they had told her that her boy â€" the father Percy never saw â€" was dead, knew that the name of the family whose society their grand- son found so agfreeable was one terribly fam- iliar to them both.

One Sanday atte^oon, just before Christ- mas, Louie Anthon was standing in one of the windows of the reception-rcwm watching the white, downy-looking snow-flakes as they hurried down from the gray clouds. It was a cold, wintry day. Sinc'ei' early morn- ing the sno-w had fallen steadily, shrouding the great city in a mantle of white. Fifth Avenue, j enerally thronged on Sunday after- noons with fashionable church-geers and promenaders, was almost deserted. Now and then a carriage rolled along, or a gen- tleman, with top--oat, closely buttoned and hat pulled well down over his eyes, went hurrying by. Bat Louie was not at all in- terested in ^he few passers by, although more than oce of them cast an admiring glau'jc up at her as she stood there. She waa dee,ily abjorbed in watching the snow- flakes as they chased eachother in mad haste past the window. "I wonder why they are in such a hurry to get down to earth," she thought. "Don't they know they will be trampled under foot until all theirbeauty and purity is lost for- ever " And then she looked straight up at the millions of feathery particles which were whirling swiftly down through the still air, while thous'hts, light and fanciful as the snowfiakes themselves, crowded into her bjain. ' She ha^d foUo wed a^ticolsrly large fltike as it floated dfown to the grOnhl, when her eyes fell upon Percy Evringham.

Solid Milk. 'To make condensed milk, the milk i? sub- jected to a heat of some 230 degrees, which, it is said, scalds it. By a new process the heat is only about i;JO degrees, and the pro- duct is called evaporated milk. When the time of exposure to that moderate heat is suflaciently prolonged all the watery part of the milk is driven off, and the remnant is a tough, solid mass, creamy white in color, find much resembling a dried chunk of wheat flour dough. That isgrauula el. by artific- ial meens; a 1 ttle fine wdiite sugar is added to make it keep, and then it locks like corn meal, and is com granulated milk. rhe evaporated milk is only about half as near solid as the condensed milk, but is very rich, and so little affectee by the proces.s through which is has passed that whtn water is added the most delicate taste cannot detect a difference between it an 1 pure natural milk; cream riees on it, and butter can b« made from it. The same desirable peculiar- ities belong to the granulated milk. The evaporated milk is used in the Nursery and child's Hospital, and on most of the steam- shiw lines. The granulated is made to keep in all clinute% for any desired length of time. â€" • ^rm- â€" â-  â-  m An Odd Old lAdy. An old lady in Hartwell, Oa., has mad« ail the necessary preparations for her burial, except her coffin. She has a Wack silk dress, all the necessary underclothing, acap,gIoves, etc. she even has a cake of perfumed soap, wash-rag and towel, for washing her body, and a candle nearly two feet long, which sh« has had ever since the war, and which is to afford light for the watchers when she is ly- ing in state. A Pickled Pun. A T-year-older, with the punster's mark on his brow, at dinner, asked his mother what was in a jar on the table. " Pickles, my son," was the reply.
