Quite a oozy, comfort ahlo bachelors' party. There was llrigs, from the drug storu; Higga, who occupied Siira aelf with pomt'thing or other at the tate Iiouhoj Mgg, who had omo thing to tin with pianos, and Migga, tho married man. Every member of tho party wu staid, busiueHS-liko and ooliil the sort of man who could bo depended upon to smoke no moro than two cigars per dioin and to imhiho no moro than ono cocktail at 11 o'clock in tho morning punctually; every one that is, ex cel MiggH, tho married man. Kach tiiemUr of tlio party could be safely put down as pood for a few thousaiiil.dolliirs, and who enjoyed tho comforts 'of existence in an eminently respectable manner and always went o church on Sunday; each ono that is, except Miggs, the married man. Miggs was an insurance agent. No ono knew for certain even where he lived, except that ho was genorally to bo found somewhere within tho lim its of tho state of Massachusetts. He appeared to iloat around promiscuous ly in as many different places as ho could possibly think of, and there never was such a man to turn up un expectedly as Miggs. Ho bubolcd over with geniality, con viviality and fraternity; ho was'incoii nistent, audacious nmf irrepressible and lie was married! Hut Miggs1 whereabouts were not more mysterious and bewildering than the condition of his atTairs and the po sition of his sociul connection, and neither Hriggs nor Higgs nor Oiggs would have been very much surprised if lie hint married twenty times or not at all. Yet when Miggs raised his eyes rev erentially until thev rested upon the ceiling, and wiid, "Ten years ago to day was my wedding day," Uriggs .mapped out: " "Your wedding day? What do you meanP" "That," said Miggs. still contemplat ing the ceiling, "shows how much in terest a man's acquaintances take in his career. Not ono of you has ever thought of Inquiring if I were married. I might tell you some outlandish yarn about my family that my wifo was the present queen of Sheba, in which case, of course, my eldest son would lie einieror of China; but no! I will confine myself strictly to the unvar nished truth and give you the plain history of my courtship and marriage. "It was on a pleasant autumn after noon that I happened to be at Win throp and wandered along as far as drover's elitT. There was not a soul to be seen, ami I was counting the frrasBhopcrs as they jumped to get out of my way, when I suddenly lo, held a woman standing right on the edge of the cliff, who was waving her arms about and making quite violent gesticulations. As 1 strolled along I sawshohad no hat, and that about threo feet of her hair rippled in the breeze, but what astonished me, when 1 came near, was to find that she was singing or, rather, chanting. "I said to myself, 'Miggs, brace ip and investigate this thing!' and went a little closer. When I came within hearing she was delivering hersself as follows: '"I stand on tho edire of the jrMdy atwu; Hhall I make the torrlliln, awful leapr WihII I pillow my head In the watoni dwpr la thecaverni of oivan shall 1 alwpr"" "Here, come off?" growled Briggs. "Find another rhyme." "I raised my hat," continued Miggs, "and Baid: "'Madam, I implore you not to take such a desperate course, for my sake.' "She turned around with a look of astonishmont, and mado an imperious gesture which appeared to be intend ed to convey the impression that she despised tho world in general and my self in particular. She was tall and dark; her eyes gleamed like dia monds in the sunlight; her nose was proud and aquiline; her lips were red and full. "My heart began to beat audibly within my bosom as I contemplated that panorama of loveliness. Looking over tho cliff, I saw her hat lying at tho bottom just out of reach of the wa ter; and being possessed, gentlemen, of a quick sympathy and comprehen sion, I mado a sudden resolve; and, having resolved, I immediately acted. "'Madam.' I said, 'here are all the elements of a noblo romance. You have lost your hat, and I how could I do otherwfse than lose my heart? I will rescue your hat and you shall res cue my heart. I implore you to live forme, madam, for me! A million cupids are besieging me on every side, una reinforcements are rapidly arriv ing. Their arrows are transfixing mo ly companies and battalions. Ho mine! Oh! bo mine!' and 1 knelt on one knee in the grass. "For a minuto she regarded me doubtfully, and that minute seemed an cigo. Then she put her hand in mine nd I impressed upon it an ecstatic L.iaa Oh. rentura! Oh. delirious hjw pmessi Bon 1 went ngtit aown me cliff after her hat, and arrived at the bottom in the midst of a landslide of verwhelming proportions. What did I care? She was mine, mine! I felt that the rrisU of my life had arrived and that 1 had successfully surmount ed it. "1 shoutod to her to come in to the end of the cliff, and then handed her her but and felt mysolf the ni-t blesed of mortals. "'Lurilla, my love,' I said (she wore her natno engraved on a brooch), 'there is one trouble there is ono thing which it is mifortunaloly neces pary to meiilion. I itm poor. 1 have but f3 K in the world.' "'Money,' said the lovely Lueillii. 'is dross. Love is all. 1 want no sordid man for a husband. I want affection community of feeling a kindred spirit. I hope you keep your money in a sufi bank?' "'To tell tho truth.' I replied, 'I do not keep it iii a bank, but in my largest trunk, because I always know then where to find it when 1 want it.' "She looked onoe yearningly at tho ocean but I clasped her iu my arms (1 couldn't help il)and yes, I did twice and we walked slowly away. "1 can see you are getting impatient. You don't want a love story. You don't want Ui hear a description of all the perfections of that beautiful creat ure as displayed by her during the next fortnight. Well, bachelors liave a badly perverted taste, but 1 suppose I must bow to your desires. .Sutlice it to say that for fourteen days I lived in paradise, while making arrangements lor a sM'ody marriage. "The only thing that marred our happiness was that Lucilla appeared to bo of a jealous nature. Shu would Insist that I flirted, and asked me for particulars of all tho girls I had seen luring the day, and.then would weep, anil put her face against mine, and petulantly ask tho atmospliero why men were not true, which, 1 must con fess was rather annoying to an anient spirit like mine. "At such times she evinced a decided tendency to becomo poetical, but, knowing tho strong prejudices of ray friend Briggs, I always endeavored to turn her thoughts in some different di rection. "Then sometimes she would say quite mournfully: 'Miggs, I feel that we are not destined to bo happy. I fear some dread specter may come be tween us, even at tho altar, and part us forever.' "Poor darling! She was indeed a jewel." "I engaged apartments at Beach mont, and ono tine Tuesday afternoon wo were married. Tho fatal step was taken and I was no longer a bachelor. "'Now,' I said, after tho ceremony, 'I can breathe freely. I am sure of you. You are mine!1 "She replied by such a look of ten terness aud love, such n radiance of af fectionate regard, that I blessed a thousand times the chance that led me on that afternoon to (trover's cliff. "Be true, darling; always be true!' she murmured, softly; I declared with emphasis that Cleopatra herself would have found me as adamant against her charms; that Lucilla should bo my sun by day and my star by night. "When we arrived home in the even ing, however, Lucilla was very much upset. Her belongings, which should have come during the day, had not ar rived. Sho wept a little and I was un able to pacify her. She became hys terical and I became alarmed. She asked me to go to her doctor, who lived ten miles away, and bring her something which he would give mo. I objoctou; she implored. I used lan guage. She commanded. Ultimately, with a very bad grace, I put on my hat and went. "In the worst of humors, I boarded a train and settled down for the long ride. And a long ride it was. Every thing seemed to get in the way of that unfortunate train and delay its pro gress. I positively foamed at tho mouth with raj;e. "But when I reached the street and number mentioned by Lucilla, and couldn't find the doctor whoso name she had given mo, 1 went nearly mad. No one had ever heard of such a per son ami his name wasn't in the direct ory. However, I was bound to take something back, so I called upon tho first physician I camo to, explained the matter as best I could, obtained some sort of n draught, and wended my way dejectedly homeward, arriv ing at about 10. "As I entered the house a feeling of desolation and misery took possession of mo. 1 entered our apartments. They were in darkness. "Lucilla!' I cried. "There was no answer. I lighted the gas and looked around; no Lu cilla. I shivered with apprehension. "'Alas!' I said. 'I shall find her at Grover'i cliff. She may be dashing herself adown the giddy steep. I must fly to her rescue, and perhaps I may not be too late.' "I rushed down the stairs, and then a thought occurred to me. 1 called tho landlady and asked her anxiously if she had seen Lucilla go out." "Gracious sakes!' exclaimed the land lady, I thought you were with her!' "Why why?1 1 stuttered. "'Sorao one was,' she replied, 'and they took away your large trunk with them in a heroic, Mr. Miggs.' "'Sainted mother-in-law!' I cried. 'Let me investigate!' "Up-stairs I dashed with the land lady after me. It was too true. The trunk in which I kept my money was gone. I would not believe my eyes. "Here,' said the landlady, 'is a note addressed to you.' "She picked up a piece of paper which lay upon the dressing-table and handed it to me. I unfolded it with feverish hasto and perused tho follow ing: "Tnnnka for your love which 1 won't rrtnrn. Thanks for ymir Irttrrs, which I will burn. 1 hanks for your trunk. The clothi In there Will he Just the thin for my John to wear, rhanks for the dollars, two hundred and three, hen In need of money, oh, think of met "Gentleman," said Miggs, "when I read that note the heat of feelings was so intense that it would have boiled tho whole Arctic ocean.

There was tilence for ulmut a min ute, and then, us Diggs drank a glass' ol water to relieve his excitement and Miggs snooK tne saiienng man sympa thetically and sorrowfully bv the hand, Briggs heaved a sigh anil said very solmenly: "Miggs, you are a fraud." EikImu'ji: THE CERM OF THE CRIP. A Wondrrfnl I Mara very bv the aid of a MITU-KlatiIIK!it. Dr. Robert L.Watkins asserts that he has, by the aid of a micro-flashlight, obtained negatives of the grip germ after it has been assimilated with the blood through the mucous membrane of the nasal organs. He attaches great importance to this discovery, says the N. Y. A radt. According to Dr. Wat kins, tho "grip" germ was photo graphed under the power of magnify ing lenses of one thousand magni tude, the flashlight having tho bril liancy of the ordinary incandescent light. The color of the germ, as seen through tho lens, is white. The sides aud fibrous surface were covered with fine hairs so fine they could hardly bo observed in the orig'inal micro-photograph. The germ body seemed to be undergoing constant changes, and in the meantime to rotate ranidly among tho adjacent healthy blood corpuscles. Tlio successful examina tion of tho germ under the microscope, aided by the flashlight, proved con clusive, it is said, that the germ at tacks rather the blood than the mucous membrane, as in influenza, and that the pain experienced in tho various Stages of the diseaso is caused by the wonderful activity of it minute body. I talked with a number of prominent physicians yesterday as to tho im poruince of this discovery, and found that in their opinion it could not count for much. Dr. II. N. Heine man said: "In searching for new bacteria, simple microscopic investiga tion leads to tho greatest self-decc-tion. So well established is this that no worker in the new field of bacter iology would dare quote a new germ unless ho had followed tho succeeding process, namely, to inoculate an ani mal and then to produce the disease; that is to say, to produce culture by growing tho germ in gelatine, and then, by inoculating animals, to pro duce the disease again." The Children of Julia Ward Howe. There were five of us. There had been six, but the Beautiful Boy was taken home to heaven whilo he was still very little, and it was good for the rest of us to know that there was al ways one to wait for and welcome us in the Place of Light to which we should go some day. So, as I said, there were five of us here: Julia Ko mana, Florence, Harry, Laura and Maud. Julia was the eldest. She took her second name from the ancient city in which she was born, and sho was as beautiful as a soft. Italian even ing, with dark hair, clear gray eyes, perfect features, and a complexion of such pure and wonderful red and white as I have never seen in anv other face. She had a look as if, when sho came away from heaven, she had been allowed to remember it, whilo others must forget; and she walked in a dream always of beauty and poetry, thinking of strange things. Very shy she was, very sensitive. When I lossy (as riorenco was most oiten called) called her "a jrreat red-haired ciant." sho wept bitterly, and reproached her sister for hurting her feelings. Julia knew everything, according to the be lief of the younger children. What story was there she could not tell? She it was who led the famous before breakfast walks, when I we used to start off at six o'clock, aid walk to the Yellow Chases' (we necr knew any other name for them; it was the houso that was yellow, not 1 10 people) at the top of the long hill, r sometimes even to the windmill be nd it, where we could we the millci at work, all white and dusty, and walch the white sails moving slowly rotnd. And on the way Julia told usl stories, from Scott or Shakspeare; on gave us the plot of some opera, "Ernjui" or "Trov store," with snatches of long hero and there, such as "Home tf our mount ains," uAi nostri montiiritornarcmo."
