Oh, Alex I let her go and love me, love me I' Alex Llnweed's noble fase waa very sad, ai he sail gentiy " 'Mrs. Ainsley, I am very sorry tor this i I hardly dare think how I should feel if Una did not love me. You say " Let her go." I oaonot she is my very life, the only oaa I ever htved.; I beg jon say no more. Ipity yon from my heart, but I have no love to give.' " From that day Una grew weaker and piler in a strange manner until Alex begged her t3 see a doctor, but she always said she did not feel siok. " I called Dr. Orey one day when madam was out. He asked Miss Una a great many qneations and tiien begged to spcMk with me uone. When she left the room he turned to me and said « 'Mrs. Willis, has Miss Una enemies?' " Well, marm, the question took me by surprise, so I told him all about Mrs. Ains- ley and Alex Lfnwood. *• • WeU,' said he, slowly, ' I don't want to arouse suspicion agUnrt Mrs. Ainsley, but I think Miss Una is baing slowly poisoned.' " You cannot inugine my terror he gave me some directions, told me to cook every- thing myself for Una, and to watoh Mrs. Ainsley. Yon may be sure I kept a sharp lookout, but I never discovered anything. My darling was no bettor, so I told Alex he had bettor marry her at onoe and take her an ay. So the^weddin^ day was set. The day before the wedding Una was taken sud- denly very bad, so I sent in a itreat hurry for Dr. Grey when he came Mrs. Ainsley was in the room. Dr. Grey telt Una's pulse, and tiien fixing his eyes on madame's face, said: ' ' Madama, this girl Is poisoned. I shall oall my friend. Prof. Hague, and we will hold a consultotien.' 'Mra. Ainsley turned pale, but, composing herself, answered " 'Certainly, doctor, if yon think it neces- sary. Mrs. Willis always attends Una, and if ie Is poisoned I dare say she knows it.' "When she waa gene he left some direc- tions, and went away promising to go for Alex. Alex oame in half an hoar, and the way he went on was awful he took her in his arms and cried over her like a baby he =wonld not go away, but stayed up all night watching her with me. " About 1 o'clock Alex insisted upon my lying down, so I went into the adjoining room and sat down behind the certain. There is another room opening into tiiis one where the medicine is kept. I sat fadng this room and could see it through a slit u the curtain. All at onoe I heard a noise lick- ing np I saw a panel In the madlolne room slide away, and Mrs. Ainsley came out with a lantcra In her hand. She went to the closet and began mmmaging among the bos- ties. I slipped out of the window and went into Una's room â€" the windows open on the bdcony, you know. Alex was standing near Some people aeem to have a lovely genius for diffusing happineai around them. They are themselves so engaging that only to be near them Is a delight. Meat of us, how ever, if we would- enjoy the happbieas ef maUng othen happy, mast try to do it We must avoid and remove oansea of pain we must invent and provide the moaos of enjoyment. £he most nsoal eauw of failure in thia partioular is not thinking.

"Why didnti thinlE of tiiat whispers the onlooker to himself. Thinking of It Is the rare aocomplishment. Anybody can perform the triflas of household benevolence the merit lies in not forgetting to do them. Mr. Andrew Caiasgie, one of the Iron king] of Pennsylvania, montfont in his now oeleorated article in The Forum, two faots which illustrato what a llttie tiieught may do to mitigatothe human lot One of tiie workmen in the employment of his oompuiy liappened to allude to the Inoreased o«ak of grooeries through having to buy on credit, wages being paid only ones a month. ' Well, ' said Mr. Gartoiie, " why cannot we overcome that by paying every two weeks. '• We did net like to ask it." replied the man, "because we have idways under- stood that it would cause much trouble; but If you do that it would be worth ao ad- vance of five per cent, in our wages." The change was made at once, and now the custom prevails in many muiufacturiog oentres of paying wages every week. Mil- lions of men have desired that for sixty years. A Uttle thoughtful good nature would have snffioed to bestow the boon two generations age. From another man, at the same Interview Mr, Carnegie waa surprised to learn that poor men who bought a few bushels ef coal at a tiogfo paid just twice tiie price which his company pm. One moment's kindly thought remedied this grievanoe. " How easy for us," said the president ef the oompany, " to deliver coal to our men in small qnantitiea at cost " So said, so done. And as suoh ideas are exseedlngly con- tagious, a very hurge nambar of iron mastors now provide their men irith ooal on the same torms. Tiiera are few thingi more catohlnjg than wise benevolenoe.

The idea of nf using water to fever pa- tienta is, we are glad to say, nearly a thmg of the fAst. The following incident, rdatted by a sUlor, serves as an Ulustratien of tbe water treatment " Some years ago, when w^layin Jamaica, several of us were sick with the fever, and among the rest the se- oond mtte. The doctor had been giving him brandy to keep him np, but I thought it waa a queer kind of " keeping up." Why, you see, it stands to reason that if yon heap fuel on a fire it will burn the faster, and putting brandy to a fever is just the sams kind of thing. ' WeU, the doctor gave him up and I was sent to watoh with him. No medicine was left for It was no use â€" nothing would help him and I had my directions what to do with the body when he was dead. To- ward midnight he asked for some water. I got him the coolest I could find, aad all he wanted and if you'll believe me in less than three houn he drank three gallons. " The sweat rolled t ff from him like ndn. Then I thought sure he was gene j bnt he was sleeping and as sweetiy as .a dilld. In the morning when the doctor came, he asked what time the mate died. ' Won't you go in and look athimt' I said. " He went in and took the mate's hand. " ' Why,' said he, the man is not dead. He's aUve and doing well. What have you been giving him V ** Water, simply water, aad all he waat- ofit,' ikidL " I don't know aa the doctor learned any thing from that, bnt I did." Ho QoodEfteot Perceptible.

It raally seems as if the French selentista have aooemplished the first stsp in the nav- igation of|the air.

Tissandlere oonstrncted. a machine which made nine miles an hour. This attraoted the attention of the French military authorities, smd further experiaunte were conduoted by engineen Bsnard and Krebs. These o£Boen have made thirteen miles an hour with a manageable machine which they snooeeded in bringing back to its startii^-point Taey found, however, that they could not overcome a wind of thirteen mUes an hoar, but those who have stadled the subjeot say that so muoh pro- gnss has been made as to rander it oertaih that machines will eventually.be built which can hold their dinctlon in anything leu tban a gale. What a pity seme great Am- erican capitalist does not devoto a portion of his wealth to perfecting this moans of navigation I In nance, nnfortnnatoly, all the experlmenta are designed for war pur- poses. The French wish la their next war with Germany to be able to dcs^y armies and fortnsses by dropping dynamito and other explosives from the very skies. Were this matter to be taken np, it would be to devise a new and wonderful meins of com- mnnioation between the diffdnnt parte of the earth. It would be delightful to live another oentnry, when air communication will, be aa oonunon as land or ocean commnn- ication ia to-day. W«0 DID 8H 00 Ezoases.
