-IDAHO.
Oriana, Countess of Cinchon, and
wife of the Viceroy of Peru , was wast
ing away with a slow but insidious
malady that bid defiance to all the
skill that the court doctor, Garcia,
uould bring to combat it. With what
delight she found herself installed in
a gorgeous palace, dignified with the
title of "viee-qaeen," and surrounded
by a court that was not excelled in
splewdor by many an European one.
Her joy was short-lived. The light
faded from eyes, her blood almost

began to despair of her recovery.
"Do not repine, Carlos," she would
say, in answer to his bitter self-up-braidings.
"Heaven ordained all for
the best. Could I have been happy

"i;-23r . .. awn- .
11U,IVU W.
Amonff .11 her attendants there was
one she most especially favored, a
yciing Peruvian girl, named Idaho.
She had found her one day while rid
ing in the forest, and, being struek
with her wild grace and beauty, had
attached her to her person. Never
had mistress found a more willing
maid. Idaho, apparently, was at
tached heart and soul to her patron
ess. Aod when this strange sickness
earns, she it was who watched almost
incessantly by her restless coueh, fan
ned her fevered brow, and presented
the eooliug draught
to her parched
hp
The new viee-queen had instituted
a new era in provincial government ;
she looked upon her Indian subjects
as huntau beings, and treated them as
such. Hence her partiality to Idaho.
She prised the untutored Indian girl,
whose face was the mirror of a guile
less heart, far above her European at
tendants, and made no secret of her
partialis. This favoritism incensed
the iadies of the eourt beyond meas
ure, and Idaho's destruction was re
solved upon. Already the poisonous
tongue of slander was at work. To
judge of the progress the enemies of
Idaho had made, we must listen to a
conversation which took place be
tween the Viceroy aad the learned
Dr. Garcia.
They had just emerged from
i
the t
aiek-ehamber upou the fiowr-covered
veranda, leaving the Countess to the
care of the ever watehful Idaho.
"What do you think of this strange
malady, doctor?" asked the Viceroy.
"Your excellency, it baffles all my
skili to determine."
"But you must have formed some
conjecture ?"
"Most certainly I were no true son
of JEseaiapius had I not done so ; but
what are conjectures in a case like
this? I am called upon to cure an in
tangible disease, beyond the power of
any medicine as yet known to science.
In my opinion ber ladyship is suffer
ing from a fever peculiar to this cli
mate and country, the only remedy
for which is an herb of some kind
known only to the Indians."
"Why not obtain it from them ?"
"Impossible! They are bound by
the most fearful oaths never to reveal
it to their European eorrquerors.
Many a fruitless days' search have I
had in the forest, looking for this
same herb. I have ofiered gold, em
ployed threats, but all in vain. Thev
I will not reveal the precious remedy
1 verily believe that if you
were to j
&uru one of these Indians a: the
stake, be would die with tne secret
unspoken.'
"Doctor, I bave beard the story of
this wondrous herb, and believe it to
be a sheer fabrication, like the mar
velous gold mine we hearof butnever
find. The disease, which we find so
ineerabie. is noth ing but the effect of a
slow poison secretly administered."
"Poison ! What reason have you
for this conclusion ?"
"The events of the past, ily pre
decessors died frcm the effects of pois

Argus was an old watch dog, and
be4o4ggd to a former's family in Alba
ny, N. H. Having long outlived bis
usefulness (as it was presumed), bis
owners had determined to put him out
' of Wre way, and had several times dis-
poeed of him, as they though:, but he
had always returned to them again
alive and wall.
Finally a neighbor called on e day,
with his rifle in his hand. He had
been out after a fox. One of the boys
laid in with him to take Argue out in -
to the woods and shoot him. The old
dog was always erazy to follow a gun.
He lay in the shed and heard the coo-
verscttion, and when , finally, the riSe -
man sailed to him, he got up and fol-
lowed him out, followed him around
to the rear of the barn and there dis
appeared.
It would seem that he had under -
stood exactly the meaning of the com-
pact which had been framed against
his life. At all events, he disappeared
and for six days we saw him not,
though two or three times we fanoied
