'I will
not tli real cn you, Hilton.
Years ago I made my will, and you
will be my heir. I shall not allor
one lino of that doenmcut, because I
will not bribe you to do my will, or
even to bo an honorablo man. Yon
may marry whom you will, may
defy my wishes in every way, and
lose all my love and respect, but the
money will still bo yours.'
Tho quick, indiguant flush on Hil
ton Graeme's faco, the sudden erect
noes of his figure, told that his uncle
had well calculated the effect of his
words; truly, wilh bis frank brown
eyes, bis sensitive mouth, his broad
white brow, he looked little like a
man to be bribed, but it was as easy
to read that he could bo ruled by his
allcctions'. When he spoko his voice
was low and his tone pleading.
'Do you mean, Uncle George, that
I shall lose your lovo and respect if
I marry Ada Willot?'
'Or any othor woman who is abso
lutely nobody. What do you know
of her?'
'Only that she is the loveliest,
iioblosf woman I ever saw. If you
Knew her you would love her.'
'Yes yes; but I mean, what do
you know of her family ?'
'Only what she told mo herself;
that her mother died of poverty,
after struggling to support herself
by her needle. They wero miserably
poor for a long time, and then Mrs.
Willet bugnn to givo work to Ada's
mother. When sho died Mrs. Willet
took Ada to her own home, and,
nfter giving her every advaHtago her
own children could have enjoyed,
adopted her.'
'What was her own name?'
Smith.'
'Bah!' said Mr. Hilton, with every
expression of deep disgust. 'Well,
marry her, if yon will. Your pres
ent allowance nli.tll be doubled, but
you need not bring her here ;' and
with a sudden fierceness ho added:
'I want no woman here to remind
mo of a past hope I had forgotten.'
Never, in all his recollection of his
grave, quiet uncle, had Hilton seen
him bo moved. His voice was shai p
as with the pang of some sudden
memory, his eyes flashed, and his
whole I rani o trembled with emotion.
You arc a man now,' he said, with
one of those strango impulses to con
fidence that often seizes tho most
reserved of men, 'a man seeking a
wife. 1 will tell you what has never
before passed my lips to any living
being. 1 havo a wife Bomowhcrc,
and a child, it may bo.'
Utter astonishment kept Hilton
still.
'It's my own fault,' Mr. Hilton
continued, 'that I'm a lonely, miser
able man, instead of a happy hus
band and father. Twenty years ago,
when I was past forty years old, I
fell in love. Fell in lovo, for I was
fairly insane oyer Myra Delano when
I had seen her but three times. I
courted her with eager attention,
rich presents, flattery, every fascina
tion I could command. I was not
an unattractive man at forty. I had
traveled extensively, had been a
close student, was emphatically a
society man, a successful lawyer,
and commanding large wealth.
Myra was twenty-five, superbly
handsome, accomplished and grace
ful. 'I thought she loved mo. I thought
there was only trust and devotion in
the lovelight of her largo blue eyes,
the varying color upon her cheek.
Wo wero married, traveled two
years on the Continent, and then
returned to this house and opdncd
its doors to society. Our child was
nearly a year 'old when wo came
home, and what lovo I could spare
from Myra I gave to baby Anna.
'We were very popular, being hos
pitable and generoup, gathering
around us refined people, and both
exerting ourselves to the utmost for
the plcasuro of our guests. But
whilo we were traveling, all iu all to
each other, there was sleeping in my
heart a demon who stirred to lifo
when wo returned.
'Strong as my love I fonnd my
jealousy. I was an idiot a mad,
jealous idiot for I slung a proud,
sensitive woman to contempt of my
opinions, defiance of my unworthy
suspicious. Now I can see that
Myra was but filling her proper
place in society as hostess or guest ;
but then, blinded by my jealousy, I
grudged any other man a pleasant
look or a cheery word. I cannot
tell you now of every scene that
turned her lovo to fear and disliko.
Sho became pale and miserable,
often" sullen
and defiant Finally
sho left me.'
'Left you?'
'I came home one afternoon, after
conducting an intricate criminal
case, and found a nolo npon my
table, telling mo Myra could no lon
ger endure tho life of constant quar
relling and reproach. Sho bad taken
her child and would never return
to me.'
'Did she not go to her relatives?'
'She had but few. Her father
died while we wero abroad, and
having been considered a rich man,
was found to havo left loss than his
funeral expenses. Sho had an aunt
and soino cousins, to all of whom I
went, but who denied all Knowledge
of her. After searching with the
eagerness of peniteuco deep and sin
cere, and lovo most profound, I
finally advertised, and even employ
ed privato police investigation. It
was all in vain. I never found wife
or child.'
'Yet you think they live?'
'I cannot tell. I remained nere
for five years, and then, as you
know, went to seo my only sister,
dying of consumption.'
'And tobecomo my second father.'
'Yos, my boy. I found you, my
littlo namesake, a sobbing boy of
twelve, heart broken over your
mother's illness and death. You
know the rest of my life-history. I
retiied from the pursuit of my pro
fession, traveled with you, made you
my own interest in life. You filled
my empty house and heart, for I
loved you Hilton, as dearly as I
loved my baby daughter whose
childhood is a closed, sealed bunk.'"!
'But, Uncle George, can nothing bo
donu now?'
'We have been in London three
years, and every month thcro has
been an advertist inent only Myra
would understand in the leading
papers. I have never had one line
of answer. No, my boy, it is hope
less now. It in the future you ever
know my wito and child, I trust
them to your care and generosity.'
It seemed as if, in tho excitement
of his recital, Mr. Hilton had forgot
ten the conversation that had imme
diately suggested it. Ho rose from
his scat, and opening acabineHn the
room, brought back a small box. It
contained a bracelet of hair with an
inexpensive clasp, aud a locket.
'When wo were in Pari",' he said,
'I had this bracelet mado of Mjra's
hair and mine- woven together; she
has the companion one. This tiny
coil ot gold in the clasp was cut
from the baby's head, our little dar
ling, then but three months old. It
must havo been some lingering lovo
that mado Myra still keep tho brace
let like this which she wore con
stantly. What is the matter, Hilton ?
Wi, or nr, Tirl.iin no linll.
'Nothing. Is your wife's picture
in tho locket?'
'Yes. You seo how beautiful she
was?'
'I sec moro than that,' said Hilton ;
'and yet I dare not tell you what I
hope. Will you give mo one little
hour to see if'
'If what?'
'Only ono hour I will be back
then.'
'Slop!' Mr. Hilton cried, shaking
with excitement. But his nephew
was gone.
Hoping, fearing, not knowing
what to hopo or fear, Mr. Hilton
watched tho clock till the hour was
over. Ho walked up and down, ho
tried to read, ho lived over again
that past whoso romorsoful memo
ries had been so vividly recalled.
With Myra's picture before him, he
thought again of that wild, fierce
love that had been his happiness and
his blight.
'Why was I not calm, reasonable
aB became my years and position ?'
he asked himself, bitterly. 'Why
did I givo a boy's love to a woman
who had lived in society, and res
pected all its requirements? I lived
an ideal lifo Myra the actual one
around us. Where Is Hilton ? What
can he know? What has he dis
covered ? Only three minutes gone,
aud it seems a day since he was
here.'
But even before" the hour was over
Hilton returned. In his eagerness
to question him, Mr. Hilton did not
notice that he came through the
drawing-room to tho library where
he wailed, leaving tho door a little
open.
'Where have you been?' Mr. Hil
ton asked.
'To procure this,' Hilton answered
gravely, placing in his uncle's hand
the duplicate of tho hracclot upon
the table.
The same braid of sunny brown
hair, wilh hero and there some of
raven black streaked with gray; the
same small clasp with a woo coil of
baby curl under the glass; the same
lettering, too Myra and George
twined together with fantnstie
scrolls and twists. For several mo
ments there was deep silence. The
old man could not speak, and tho
young ono would not break in upon
what he felt to be a sacred emotion.
At last, lifting up his head, George
Hilton asked :
'Does Myra live ? Can she forgivo
me?'
It is years since she died,' Hilton
answered, 'but surely, in heaven, she
has forgiven you. Sho never spoke
of you to your child but in words of
re?pect aud affection, though ebe
always spoko of you as dead.
'My child I You know my child ?'
'I know and lovo her. Do you
uot guess, Uncle George, where I
saw that bracelet whoso duplicate I
recognized at once, whose faco is a
living copy of. tho ono in your
locket? Must I tell you that the
child Mrs. Willet rescued from pov
erty, and adopted for her own, is my
cousin, and your daughter?'
'Ada Smith?',
'Smith was tho name her mother
thought most probably would best
conceal her identity, and Ada was
the name of Mrs. Willet's ouly chiid,"
who died in infancy.'
'But why have you not brought
her to me?'a8kcd Mr. Hilton, with
almost a sob iu his voice. And as
ho spoke, the door Hilton had left
ajar opened, and across tho thresh
old Btepped a tall, beautiful girl,
with sunny brown hair, and large
bluo eyes, who waited timidly until
her father cime quickly to meet her.
Anna!' ho said, softly. 'Cnn this
bo my baby my wee daughter? It
must be, for it is my Myra, who has
not grown old and gray, as I have,
but lives in perpetual youth. My
child, I once wronged your mother,
but have sorrowed and repented for
that wrong. Can you forgive me?'
The tears were falling fast from
Anna Hilton's eyes, and her voice
was trembling wilh sobs, as she said :
My dear father!'
That was all; but as George Hil
ton folded his child in his arm.-, he
knew that he wa forgiven, and for
him at least there might bo happi
ness in making others happy.
Good Mrs. Willet mourned and re
joiced at onco over her loss and her
adopted daughter's good fortune,
but consoled herself with the tho't
that Ada must have left her to be
Hilton's wife, and, after all, they
would still bo neighbors.
But she would not givo her up
until after a most brilliant wedding,
and Georgo Hilton only welcomed
his daughter to her homo when he
also gave tender greeting to Hilton's
wife.
Education of English Girl.
English girls aro taught or were
in my time by a kind of a system
which tends to multiply "accom
plishments" rather than uselul
knowledge. A certain routine of
teaching is gone through, and you
come out of tho school-room with a
society varnish intended to do duty
until marriage, at which period cus
tom allows you to dispense with
surface accomplishments, and devoto
yourself to tho realities of life, mit
igated as they arc for tho well-to-do.
On the other hand, the moral atmos
phere of the English home education
is superior to that of American edu
cation in General. Girls are less
forward and more 'respectful ; they
grow into women more slowly and
ripen bettor; they are physically
stronger, and therefore have simpler
tastes ; and us to society, they do not
know what it means beforo at tho
age of seventeen or eighteen. Amer
ican girls have certain advantages,
however, which custom denies your
English women of good position ;
they are not forced by au unwritten
law to go into society and play their
part in it, whilo tho English girl has
no choice. Tho "upper ton thousand"
must marry or become "blue-stock-iugs"
beforo the world agrees to lot
them alono. A voumr married
woman may, if she choose, plead
home duties as an excuse fora quiet,
useful, pleasant and studious life,
uninterrupted by any but the neces
sary "country" civilities, which aro
not very burdensome; but young
girls are not supposed to have such
duties. Parents, oven when sick
themselves, are loth to let the chan
ces of the London season pass by
their daughters, and depute any sato
chaperon, the nearest femalo relation
if possible, to take their girta to all
the balls aud parties. The rudimen
tary education furnished to women
of the higher classes has perhaps
something to do with the prevalence
of "fastness" among a part of them,
while to others it becomes the base
of a real, later self-education, the
growth of reading, observation, and

The strict discipline enforced by
some teachers in the clasnes occa
sionally gives rise to peculiar ideas
in the young, aud over-obedient
pupil. A few days since, as the lit
tle children were entering the room
previous to the afternoon session to
speak, she said :
'Please, may I wipe my noso this
afternoon, two or three times?'
'Certainly,' was the amused reply ;
'but why do you ask permission?'
'I wanted to wipe it this morning,
but I looked 'round and didn't sec
any of tho others wiping their noses
so I thought perhaps wo wasn't
'lowed to.'

Said an aged politician and editor
to me. "I liko to read your off-hand
social sermons, because thoy seem to
bo confessions. Now let me make a
confession to you! I don't believe,
although I havo a largo summer
house at the most successful resort
in tho country, that the dissipations
aud broken habits of the long season
do me any good or give me any real,
or that I am as well insured for
length of days iu the idlo summer as
in inc sevoro winter. Ana can rou

"It is tho rise of wealth," said I,
'resullim: from the development
ind speculation in a new country,
giving an unrest to young and old,
and making the most forward our
leaders whether in physics or mor
als. None dare be independent
where all can be rich. When George
the Fourth was ruling a successful
empire that had just finished thirty
years of war and was trading with
the whole world, Beau Brummel,
who could starch his collars and
neckties the nicest, was the next
man to the King, though a sharper
and a parasite, and tho King, with
out a single virtue, was called the
'first gentleman of Europel""
"Alas!" said the political sage,
"there is too much wealth, I fear, to
make us as happy as uc have been.
I am sure people are not as happy as
in. the day of small incomes and
quiet habits. I know most of our
rich men, and a men they are not
the social equals of the moderately
rich men of forty years ago. lluftiq
King was then my neighbor at Al
bany, considered the riehest man
north of Now York, fend tho lending
banker. He told me that it cost
him only .f:;,(XX) a year for his whole
expenses and family, and no other
man lived a well iu Albany. Yet
his cxpouses would not now pay his
children's school bills. When I was
Collector of tho Port of Albany, at
a salary of.fi a day, I felt ih if I had
got a lift that would make mo inde
pendent, and when I paved $750 a
year I felt that I was on the high
road to success. No man in those
days had $ 1,000.000, or, if he had, ho
was considered to have vast respon
sibilities to his country and his God.
2sow $1,000,000 excites no admira
tion, and 1 do not think it brings
much compensation. It only goads
tho man to pusleout for more. His
relations to his faculties and hla
health are worse. His career is
really more contracted, because he
is sitting down by tho million like a
piu by a loadstone, unable to get
away from its influence upon his
mentality." Gath, in New York

The other day a girl of our ac
quaintance, who is pursuing a select
courso of study in one of the col
legiate institutions of the city, ex
amined the printed curriculum with
reference to deciding what study
Bhe would take up iu the next term.
Whilo consulting about the matter,
she read over tho long list of text
books on science, language, literatnro
aud mathematics, when she ex
claimed : "I'll tell you what I woI
liko to study I would liko to study
medicine. I don't mean that I want
to be a physician, and practiee, but
only know what to do at homo when
anything happoiH. I am sure it will
be more iimMiiI to me than" aud

of study "than spherical trigono
metry, navigation, etc. We cannot
run for a doctor every time anybody
sneezes or coughs, and I would like
to know what to do for one who 13 a
little sick." Here is a matter con
cerning which young women need
some simple but caret u I hint ruction.
But who gives them auy? A3
daughters iu the family, they can
repeat the datc3 of Grecian and

left in their charge burns his hand
or is seized with the croup, how
many of them know the-best thing
to do while waiting for the doctor?
Aud when, as wives and mothers,
the duties or life increase, how many
of them have any practical knowl
edge which will help them to meet
calmly aud intelligently the every
day experienced ol accidents and
illness which are inevitable in every
family.
A couple of cow boys undertook
to run North Platte a few days ago,
riding their ponios into tho business
places, shooting off their revolvers
and raising Cain generally. Tho
consequence was that the officers,
while attempting their arrest, in

shoot one of thorn through the body,
