" Oh, doesn't he They all say so, we know. Come, childâ€" tell me the name of this hero of yours." " Well, he is a hero â€" indeed he is," re- plied the girl, tears of emotion filling her ' blue eyes. " He fought through two cam- paigns, in Egypt and the Soudan, in the ranks, as a common horse-soldier â€" a troop- er." Hyacinth turned away her head sharply her lip was quivering, her proud face con- vulsed with emotion. The thought of that other trooper who had also fought, but had not come home to be called a hero, rushed into her mind. For a few minutes she sat speechless and trembling, while Lily watch- ed her, afraid even to caress her, thinking that she was very angry and disappointed. "Are you very vexed, dear?

" Folly Oh, no, it isn't folly, dear " pleaded Lily excitedly. "We are awfully sensible â€" just as if we were not in love at all. We discussed everything. His father wants him to take some of the agency work, and live in an old, old house all covered with ivy â€" as old as this. Garret says, but not so large â€" close by the Nore â€" the dear Irish river that father used to tell us of." "But living beside the Nore in an old house â€" something like what the Grange was before I spent a little money on it, I suppose â€" won't pay for your hats and gowns and gloves, child, no matter what fancies you have about it and yon could do so much better," said Hyacinth a little sharp- ly.

Hyacinth looked at her sister with envy in her eyes, but she only sighed deeply and turned away her head. " You despise such things, I know," Lily continued, after a pause, only seeing that her sister looked very pale and stern, and never guessing that her words were wounding her most cruelly " butâ€" forgive me, dear Hyacinthâ€" does wealth make one happy „ after all?

"And I must go too." "You, Hyacinth?" "Yee; I-^read that," She spened the desk beside her, took an nndoaadletterlrom it, and handed it to Lily. The girl read it, noting the name sfTawl- ing half across the foot of the page, then looked with an exfwession of mingled horror and bewilderment into her sister's face, which was deadly pale and calm, claimed â€" " That man â€" that bad man " "Yes, that mn, my dear. It seems strange, does it not, after the offers I have received But you cannot open your mouth to me on that, you know," said Hyacinth with perfect composure. " It is different with me â€" I love Garret but youâ€" oh, surely yon don't love Captain Haughton?" "'No, most certainly not, child " "Then why â€" why " Lily stopped, too utterly distressed to speak. " Why do I allow him to write to my f a+her Child, do women marry for love nowadays " " They ought to, or they ought not to marry at all " cried the girl, speaking from her heart, " I, though so much younger than you, can teach you as to that, for I know what love, true and honourable love, is." She knelt down, and, clasping Hya- cinth about the waist, continuedj " Dear sister, you never told me, but I think that when you received all this money that you have made us so happy with you have lost something else â€" something that I couple with poor Glynn's disappearance or death." The form the girl clasped in her arms trembled from head to fojt. She went on â€" "I know you have not forgotten him; and you could not care for this man â€" noj you could not Do not marry him, darling â€" do not Oh, believe me, it is a sinâ€" a sin. Hyacinth!" The words were spoken with all the weight that love and intense earnestness can give but Hyacinth's only reply was to re- leaise herself violently, and, walking over to the window, she leaned her proud unhappy face on her arm. The young girl's happiness, her love, her willingness to make a " bad match" when she could so easily have made a good one, filled her elder sister with a passion of envy, of wild regret, of vehement longing to live that one eventful hour of her past again, that, like this child, she might.choose the " better part." Struggle as she might, she could not control her feelings. " Go away " she cried, with a tremulous voice. " Go away, and leave me in peace You know nothing about me â€" of what I have done in the past, or what I am about to do in the future. Noâ€" wait You must not contradict any one who speaks to you of my engagement, as I heard you did last night. And give your lover clearly to un- derstand that when betakes you he takes you portionless " and she turned her white face round, hard and defiant, as though she would have said, "Ask me no questions. I shall do as I please." Lily looked at her silently for a minute then, coming to her side and touching her lightly on the arm, she replied â€" " Well, Hyacinth, you have been very good to all of us, dear, and I have no right to expect anything, although, from what you have always said, I did expect you to act differently. I know Garret will take me in my plain white gown as willingly as if I brought him riches and â€" aud--I hope â€"I do hope you will be as happy as I know I shall be." She paused, but there was no answer. Hyacinth stood close to the closed portion of the latticed window, her forehead pressed against the glass, her arm hiding her face. The girl kissed the white neck, and then, after lingering a minute or two longer, left the room, sorely perplexed and sad in spite of her own creat happiness. Hyacinth, left alone, stood still for some minutes, not listening to her sister's retreat- ing footsteps, or thii^ing of her at all, but plunged once more into her own deadly grief. Suddsnly she raised both her hands and cried aloud â€" " Yes, I have decided I will go as he went, where none shall know me. I will not wed that man I wUl not so sm agamst myself. And I will not bear the public shame. I stand in a dock, and witness the HEALTH. ^*â- Â»fcv *5i;,ii: iMai, frOBIirtiMh • ♦â- Py^gf Jl " Simple daiiqnen even .vnhf^nt .toy ataBdus water, mofiitnre "and DaotSd in ue lobma above, and tia ia a foeitfal aporee of dan- ger tetlie inhahitanta.

Its injurious effects are .produced at night, when no air is in circulation to dilute or carry off the poisonous emanations, and also when the system is off guard, its powers of resistance are least and it absorbs unresistingly the noxious products of de- composition. In this way are often pro- duced diphtheria, dysentery, malarial and typhoid fevers. Recently a young girl in a family under my care suffered from an unusually severe attack of intermittent fever. As the house was situated on high ground and there were no other cases of malarial disease in the im- mediate vicinity, I wu at a loss to account for its causation until I had examined the cellar â€" ^when the stagnant water, rotten wood, decomposing meat and vegetables which met me on. every side at once furbish- ed the desired imformation. An epidemic of typhoid fever in New Hampshire a few years ago originated in the house ot a butcher who was in the habit of packing down in his own cellar all those pieces of meat which proved unsaleable, un- til sevf-.ral barrels were filled with them, all iu advanced stages of decompotition. Af- ter une death had taken place in the house an investigation w8ls made the cellar was examined and the filthy meat re.T)oved, making such a sickenin? stench as to be al- most unbearable by the workmen who car- ried it out. The effect was not yet removed, however, nor was the penalty fully paid un- til another member of the family had fallen a victim to the disease. The family of a wealthy farmer were taken suddenly ill with typhoid dysentery one autumn and two of its members were beyond help before the family were fairly aroused to a sense of their danger. Two physicians were called and they, confident that the disease must have a local origin, proceededâ€" after much objection on the part of the mistress of the house â€" to investi- giate the cellar. Here is a report of what they found "In the first place there were an abundance of cabbage leaves and stumps in a semiputrid state and there were decay- ed potatotoes, turnips, beets and apples. There were in various parts of the cellar rennants of cider and cider vinegar and cider leesâ€" the Tatter in a most offensive condition. Finally there were remnants of barrels of beef and pork in a bad state, to say nothing of other casual filth â€" the whole constituting such a stench as I had never before perceived in a cellar." The cellar was purified but not in season to prevent the death of the two who were first attacked, and one other, a very young child. The others lingered for variable lengths of time but finally recovered. The " ounce of prevention" which avoids these evils, consists in keeping the cellar dry, well aired and clean. First, the cellar should at whatever cost be thoroughly drained so that there shall be not only no standing water in it but no ap- preciable dampness upon the walls. Secondly, constant vigilance must be used to prevent the entrance into or accumu- lation in the cellar of decaying animal or vegetable substances. It is not enough to clean it out once or twice a year â€" it should be kept clean. Thirdly, the cellar should be well venti- lated, especially in the warm season. The free circulation of air in the cellar is as necessary to prevent stagnation and bad au: and preserve health as is the proper venti- lation of the room above. ' 'Warm Weather Diaeaaes. Diarrhoea may be caused by disturbance of the digestive oigans, by exposure to heat or cold, by fatigue, fright or anxiety. It la a symptom rather than^^ a dtsetae in itoelf, and. when the cause is removed it generally ceases. In summer and early autumn it is often occasioned by eating improper food, such as stale fruit, or too large a quantity of -vegetables. If the sufferer can be kept in bed for a day and perauadeu to fast, taking only cold boiled ndlk, a cure is usually certain and complete. When this is impoeaible a thin flannel bandage should be worn, and the diet restricted to boiled rice and milk. If the disease still continues after this treatment a physician should be consulted. It is one of the most cOmmuti affections-of children during the hot weather and Cfopar food is of the greatest importa^nce. Boued milk diluted with limewater and given cold, milk and white of egg shaken together, rice- water, rice-jelly and for a child more than a year old, very finely-chopped raw beef, are all well- suited to assist in relieving it. Beef tea or any meat broth should not be used. Fruit with seeds, like raspbetries, which irritate the mucous membrane of the intestines are particularly to be avoided. Change of air is of the greatest benefit to young children, and care should be taken that the air they breathe and the water they drink is pure. Particular attention should be paid in the case of a baby suffer- ing from this complaint that it does not be- come chafed. Very thin starch must be used instead ot plain water in bathing it, and if the skin is roughened it should be dusted with lycopodium powder. Dysentery is a much more serious disease than diarrhoea. The mucous membrane, or lining of the lower part of the large intestine, is inflamed and ulcerated, and the muscular coat covering it is also involved. The lower part of the abdomen is very sore and tender to the touch and there is great pain. The passages are streaked with blood and mu- cous. A doctor must prescribe the medicines proper for this disease. While he is coming the sick person should be kept in bed with a flaxseed poultice, made with the water in which poppies have been steeped, laid over the bowels. When there is vomiting and great thirst small pieces of ice may be given. The diet may be much the same as diarrhoea.

One of this pair of rascals jumped into the Seine and pretended to be drowning the other took a header after him and brought him to shore in safety.

Measles begin with the symptoms of a bad cold hoarseness, a cough, sneezing, and weak eyes. On the fourth day a rash ap- pears on the forehead, spreads over the face, and extends to the body. It is a darker red than the rash in scarlet fever, and feete slightiy raised to the touch. When the rash first comes out it looks like lea bites arranged in little half moons on the skin. The great danger is of taking cold, which may bring on inflammation of the lungs, and of tojury to the eyes from over use, or exposure to too strong a light. The pstient should be kept in bed m a well-ventilated room at a temperature of about sixty-eight de^ees. The window must be lowered a few inches, at the top, if possible, the opening being covered with a strip of flMinel to prevent a draught. As fresh air is indispensable, if this makes the room too cold, a fire must be lighted to counteract it. A warm sponge bath should be given each day, folded blankets being placed over and under the patient in bed, the night dress re- moved and the hand holding the sponge being passed under the upper blanket while bamng to avoid exposure. The window should be shut during the bath. If the rash causes much irritation it may be rubbed with cosmoline, or sweet oiL The eyes should be carefully shaded from the light, and no reading permitted until they are strong again. Serious inflammation and permanent weakness of the eyes may follow, if these precautions are not taken. It is often very hard to keep a child amused There is little wit and less truth in the proverb which intimates that ministers' sons and deacons' daughters are apt to be the "black sheep" of the town. On the contrary, as a class, they illustrate the fact that the law of heredity works good as well as bad results. Not a few of the leaders in the good works which have their head- quarters, and find their mostefficientand enthusiastic workersin the large cities, are deacons' daughters. The triennial citalogues of our colleges are stud- ded with the italicised and capitalized names of ministers' sons, who are eminent in public and clerical life. Captain Gardiner, of the British Navy, married the sister of Charles Reade, the novelist, â€" a lady who for grace, beauty, and brains had few equals. Captain Gardiner was cold in manner and stem in deport- ment but he was so possessed by righteous ideas as to be almost romantic in his ideal of duty. Becoming interested in the iidiabi- tants of Patagonia, he sailed with a picked crew, landed on the coast of Tierra del Fue- go, expecting to make a missionary settle- ment on the mainland. He had made, as he supposed, an ample arrangment to supply himself and his meij with provisions, but somebody blundered. The provisions never reached them, and the missionary captain starved to death. His son Allen was then a student at Magdalen College, Oxford. It was the habit of we young man to retire to his room, im- mediately after morning praters, and read a chapter of the Bible. This habit saved him from being rudely shocked. • The London morning papers containing a harrowing narrative of his father's death, were received in the college, just after morn- ing prayers, and read by his class-mates. Young Allen, as the news had not been seen by his family nor by himself, was ignorant of his father's martyrdom. Gardiner s claas- mates hurried to his tutor and informed him of the tragedy. The tutor undertook to break the news to Allen. The painful task was gently done, with the tact of a Christian gentleman. The son heard in silence, then quietly said, with a most devout maimer, as if registering a vow, " My father shall not have died in vain I" The vow was kept. Young Gardiner as soon as he had graduated and had been or- dained, sailed for South America. He began on the southern coast of Chili his missionary work, and in a few years founded seventeen missionary stations. Thus he illustrated again the old saying, "The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church." ing steamer, in the guise ot a parson oi ino j^. j^ rhnrch of England.

Mother and daughter never met from that day until a few days ago, when her mother called at la^ouse in Syracuse, N. Â¥., and fully ideinRd her long-lost daughter. A scar on Mrs. Fralick's chin, and a portion of one of her fingers being cut ofl^ both of which marks she had borne since childhood, satisfied the mother that she had found her child. Dr. J.
