. Growing Old Together.
Friends may be false. friends may be trim
And friends deceive us sadly;
But what is that to me or you,
Who love each other madly 1
You have your faults and I have mine-
We have good traits in common:
Angels alone serenely shine,
And they are more than human!
The years go by, and ago creeps on,
And white, wan hands grow nervous;
More clearly know we right from wrong,
And honor those who serve us,
Together we have thus grown old—
N’c’er guilty of deceiving;
A kingdom lies beyond death’s wold
‘ For those who die believing!
We know the grave is very nigh,
Cold, shivering and cheerlcss;
And yet we have no weary sigh,
And eyes are calm and fearless.
For death but opens wide the gate
To life that is immortal;
And the saints who in patience wait
Will gladly cross the portal!

The Stepfmother.
“ Give me joy, dear mamma, for I have
won the prize i" cried pretty May Victor,
as she burst into her step-mother’s
boudoir _with a laughing imitation of
Claude Melnotte's first entrance and a.
slight misquotation of that love-10m
hero's words.
Lucille Victor raised her head from the
crimson satin cushions of the couch on
which she had been reclining, with a
look of pleased surprise on her beautiful,
pale face. '
She had been six months the wife of
Rodney Victor, and this was the first
time his golden-haired daughter had ad-
dressed her by any term of endearment,
and only God and herself knew how often
her lonely heart had yearned for some
token of affection from the laughing,
merry-hearted maiden, and treasured
every word of kindness that had fallen
faom the lips now wreathed ' in brighteét
smiles. She half extended her arms, as
if to clasp the petite form -to her breast,
but May’s blue eyes were turned away
from her, and she dropped her hands
with a sigh, abashed at her own tomor-
ity.
"What has occurred to please you so,
May? You are very happy," she said
simply, and May flushed and dropped
her blue eyes in shy confusion as she
guyly responded :— .
“Alwyn Dale has asked me tobe his
wife; have I not won the highest prize in
the matrimonial market ?"
Mrs. Victor paid no attention to the
laughing query ; she had slowly risen to
her feet and approached her husband's
daughter with a pale, grieved face.
“May, what answer have you given
this man- ?” she asked, firmly ; and won-
- dering at the tone. in which the words
were spoken, May held up her left hand
upon the third finger of which a. magnifi-
cent diamond sparkled, the seal of her
betrothal. “ You have done wrong, May
Victor; in the absence of your father
you should have consulted me before do.
ciding such a momentous question; I
have not seen the man you have promised
to marry; I know nothing whatever of
his antecedents beyond the fact that he
is English and boasts of being heir pre-
sumptive to a baro—"
May interrupted her before she could
proceed further; the girl’s small figure
was drawn to its fullest height, her face
was flushed and her blue eyes kindling
with anger.
“I'don't acknowledge your right to
decide on any matter concerning my
future welfare, Mrs. Victor," she said,
bitterly. “ You forgot that I am twenty-
one—only three years your junior. My-
father: married you without consulting
my wishes, although I had been his con-
fidant and companion from early child-
hood. From the hour that you became
mistress of my home I have considered
myself mistress of my own actions, and
now that a brilliant future is before me,
I shall not allow you to interfere between
me and the man I have promised to
marry. That you have not met himis
no fault of mine. You are an invalid,
confined almost constantly to your own
apartments, and had it not been for the
kindness of Cousin Lalie, I would have
no one to chaperone me during my father’s
absence. I will write to papa and tell
him all; he will exonerate you from all
blame in the matter, never fear. ”
The last words were spoken in a coldly
sarcastic tone', as May turnedto leave the
room.
“ Some day, May Victor, you will re-
gret your unkindneas to me," Lucille
said, and the words were uttered a tone
of prophecy. ’ .
Long after May had left her, andwhen
the girl’s sweet voice was borne to her
cars from the parlor below, singing a
. pathetic Italian reverie, the young step-
mother lay with her face buried in the
sofa cushions, living over again the
weary months she had spent in her hus-
band's home.
She was an orphan, eking out a scanty
living by teaching music in the city of
London, where Rodney Victor met her,
and, won by the beauty of her
' face, wooed her persistently, and asked
her to be his wife. Despite his forty-five
years, and the silver threads just gather- .
ing in his brown hair, the lonely orphan
girl learned to love him, and they were
married. Then followed two months of
supreme happiness. Mr. Victor was
fondly devoted to his beautiful bride
and traveled with her from place to
place, proud of her beauty, and the ad-
miration she excited in the circles in
which he delighted to introduce her. At
the end of this time he announced his in-
tention of returning to his home in New
York, and Lucille’s heart thrillediwith
delight at the thought of this home com-
ing. for from her husband's manner of
speaking of his “golden-haired little
one,” she had formed the idea that May
. , was achild, uponwhom she might lavish
lief:- aflogtipn, and whom she would teach
to lOve lies". ' How different was the real-
ity! When the news of her father's marv
riage reached May, she carried the letter
containing the announcement to Cousin
Lalie; who was the neice of her dead
mother, and, being many years older
than May, had acted in the capacity of
house-keeper to her wealthy uncle-in-
law. The news of the latter’s marriage
was bitter as gall and wormwood to Lake,-
for she had ruled the.household, and
wanted no new mistress to reign. May,
who was naturally a sweet-tempered and
affectionate girl, but weak 'and easily
led, was taught by her cousin to regard
her father’s wife as an interIOper, who
would usurp her place in her father’s
heart, and tab his child of his affection.
The beautiful face, the gentle, winning.
ways of Lucille would have won the girl‘s .
love, had not Cousin Lalie been ever
near to poison her mind against the in-
terloper. Poor Lucille was chilled by
the welcome she received on her entrance
into her new home, and, frcm that hour
her tender heart .was continually receiv-
ing wounds that‘seemed barbed as she
attempted to draw them out by reasoning
and patience. It needed all her Chris-
tian heroism to forbear, yet no word of
complaint escaped her lips, although her
face poled, the roses faded" from her
cheeks with the secret tears she shed,
. and when her husband, whose love alone
had sust_ained her. was called away to
maids 6n business cbhnected th 'p'r'o'.
perty to which he had fallen heir, Lucille
could no longer endure her loneliness,
and from the hour of his departure, she
sank into a state of nervous depression
that bade fair to assume more dangerous
ymptoms. ‘ .
May’s communication startled and
alarmed her, for she knew her husband
would blame her for not acquainting him
with the fact of Dale’s visits to his
daughter, and she ventured to remon-
strata, with what result we have already
seen.
“I will write to Rodney to-night; I
will beg him to come home. Ch, 3 he
knew how I have suffered, would he not
pity me i" she murmured, raising her sad
eyes to the heaven where her wrongs
were known. '
It was a glorious summer evening, and
Lucille drew her writing desk before one
of the open windows and prepared to be-
gin her task, but her hands trembled so
that she could not hold her pen, and her
head throbbed painfully.
Mechanically her eyes wandered out of
the window to where the twilight shari-
Ows were falling over the smooth-shaven
lawn and fragrant flower porter-res, and
she caught a glimpse of a white dress
and blue ribbons disappearing among
the trees, where May was walking with
her lover.
A sudden desire seized her to see this
Alwyn Dale whom May had promised to
wed, and on the impulse of the moment
she rang for her maid, and startled the
girl by the abrupt manner in which she
announced her intention of going out on
the lawn.
“Maia, madame—" the French girl be-
gun, but Lucille silenced her.
“I understand, Anna, you would say I
am too ill to venture out, but do not fear,
the air will do me good," she said in the
girl’s own language. and Anna only
shrugged her shoulders as she wrapped a
soft white shawl about her mistress and
watched the graceful, willowy form glid-
ving slowly down the lawn.
Guided by the sound of May's men-y
voice, and frequent ripples of silvery
laughter, Lucille appro‘ached'the arbor
in which the lovers were seated side by
side.
Her light footfall made no sound on
the velvet grass, and the lovers, absorbed
in their own conversation, were not
aware of her presence. She was about to
‘call May's name, when the gentleman
raised. his head and glanced straight
toward the spot where she stood, looking
like some beautiful statue in the twi-
light.
An awful grayish pallor oversprcad the
face of May's lover, and the name “Lucie"
escaped his lips in a hoarse whisper,
while Lucille gave utterance to a low, in-
articulate cry and fell senseless at his
feet. ‘
May‘s cry of alarm brought the ser-
vants to the spot, and during the scene
that followed, Alwyn Dale disappeared.
Lucille was soon restored to conscious.
ness, but she was evidently very ill ; her
beautiful dark eyes were burning with
fever fire, and the small, restless hands
would burn one with their lightest
touch.
“ I must not give way to this dreadful
weakness, I must seehim! Oh, Heaven,
give me strengthto do my duty!” she
whispered, as she paced the floor of her
chamber with unsteady, faltering steps.
A doctor had been sent for, and Anna,
ina fever of impatience, was watching
for him at the gate, when May’s lover
approached her cautiously and entrusted
to her keeping a note to be delivered at
once to her mistress.
“This is for yourself, Anna," as he
placed a ten dollar note in her hand;
“ and remember, on no conditions give
the note into other bands than .t-hosc of
your mistress, you understand 2’”
" Out, monsieur," Anna answered de-
murcly, as she pocketed his gift and hur-
ried toward the house. “ Monsieur mis-
takes me for the maid of Mademoiselle
May.'-’.shc thought, and made haste to
hand the note to May without a suspicion
that it was intended for Lucille.
With face flushing and paling by turns,
May opened the envelope and read as
follows :—
“Lucmnn :—If you ever loved me,
come to me tonight before you have
oken to May. I will linger about the
o d oak, just outside the west gate. Do
not fail to come to me-remember the
tie that'binds you to— D. D "
Every vestigo of color faded from
May’s pearl, fair face as she read the
words, and Lalie, who had read the note
over her cousin’s shoulder, laughed
mockingly :— ~
“I told you so! I always knew she
was a hypocrite ; she couldn't impose on
me with her smooth face and her saintly
ways,” she exclaimed exultingly.
But May silenced her with a quick ges~
ture of command.
“Hush, Cousin Lalie, I do not wish
you to interfere in this case, I shall see
that this precious epistle reaches the per-
son it was intended for, and then—I
shall endeavor to learn what is the tie
that binds my father’s wife to this guy
deceiver.
She had left the room 'before'Cousin
Lalic reOOvered from the astonishment.
into which May’s words had thrown her,
and in less than half an ’hour Lucille
found the note beneath a book on her
dressing table.
Thinking that Anna had placed it there
while she was in that death-like swoon,
Lucille made no inquiries, but weak and
ill as she was, stole quietly from the
house in the direction of west gate. The
man was impatiently waiting and came
from under the shadows of the old oaks
to meet her with hands outstretched as if
toclasp her own, but she shrank from
contact with him, and spoke in a low,
tremulous voice :
" You must go away, Davy Dale, you
must never meet May Victor again. Oh,
Davy. I believed you dead—why are you
here, and under a false name? Whence
comes the money you spend so freely?
What new crime have you committed i"
“ By George! how many questions you
women can ask in a breath. Well, in the
first place, you believed me dead. , I was
willing: to have that report circulated,
when London-became too hot to hold
‘mc and the officers from Scotland Yard
were on my track for forging that in-
fernal check. The reason that I am here
and under a false name is emily explain-
ed. I am about to marry arich wife;
and it would never do to have my in-
tended father-in-law searching up the an-
tecedents of Davy Dale. As to my
money—well, I made it easily, by a little
trick of slight of hand; but lack may
change, you know, and before it does I
must have the handling of May’s money.
By George! how strange it seems that
you should be her step-mother l”
The last words were followed by a light
laugh“, and z-Davy Dale lighted a cigar
with provoking nonchalance. Lucille
Victor was trembling like a leaf, but she
leaned against the old oak, and faced him
with eyes gleaming angrily.
“You shall never marrvaay! The
girl shall not be sacrificed I will save
her from you—"
‘ fallen from his hand unheéded-‘hls face
grow a trifle pale.
“You dare not put forth a hand to foil
me! Your proud husband would east
* He interrupted hart-his. cigar had»
you from his'door; he would no longer
shelter the sister of a thief and a forget.
You deceived him, I’ll warrant; you told
him nothing of me or my crimes before
you married him. I will. find a. means of
turning his wrath on you; I will even
swear that you have been supplying me
with money since your marriage—he
never knew you had a brother. Ah!
dare you deny me now, my proud sis-
ter ?"
Lucille dropped her face in her hands
with a piteous cry. ,
"‘ Heaven help me! You are right. I
believed you dead, and told Rodney
nothing of the fact, " she moaned.
Davy Dale thinking he had triumphed,
approached‘a step nearer, but did not
venture to touch her, as he said,—
“He need never learn the story. May
will be my wife. I’ll be a better man for
her sake, and everything will be well.”
“Never-never your wife. She shall
not be sacrificed! No, not if I be driven
from these grounds homeless and penni-
less. 0h, Davy, be merciful; go away
from here and leave my husband’s child,
for my sake. Do you forget the past,
how cheerfully I toiled to supply you
with money, that you might not be driv-
en to steal? Do you forget our dead
mother, and how she begged you to
watch over me and care for me in. my
lonely childhood? How did you obey
her last wishes? Davy, spare the girl
whose heart you would break! See, I
will kneel to you—”
"You shall not kneel to him! May
has heard all !" cried'the girl for whom
she pleaded; and the little blue-eyed
maiden sprang to her step-mother’s side,
and with one arm around her waist, ad-
dressed the man who had been her lover.
“ Go, Mr. Dale! For your noble sister's
sake I will not send for the officers of
the law to remove you. Go! and do not
think you have any power to make Lu-
cille Victor unhappy. I have heard
every word you have uttered, and when
my father learns the truth he will have
no'anger in his heart for the brave woman
who has the misfortune to be your
sister! "
Completely bewildered by the coolness
of the timid little maiden he had wooed,
Davy Dale strode away, with a forced
laugh and attempt at bravado, calling
back to her,—
“ By-by, petite May, I must seek further
for the future Lady Alwyn.”
When he had gone, May dropped her
head on Lucille’s breast, sobbing sof‘-
1y I—
“ Will you ever forgive me, dear,
brave, long-suffering Lucille? Will you
ever forgive my neglect and coldness? ”
she faltered, and Lucille answered,
tremblingly,—
“There is nothing to forgive, my darl-
ing, only love me a little, my heart has
so long craved your love."
A few minutes later, Lalie, who was
watching with eager eyes to see the
hated mistress coming back in disgrace,
was horrified to see her approaching with
May’s blue eyes fixed lovingly on her on
her pale face. Lake was never made
acquainted with- the true state of afi‘airs,
and soon left the house in disgust, una-
ble to bear the sight Of her cousin’s de-
votion to her young step-mother.
May did not grieve for her lover's loss,
as she had never really loved him; and
for the first time Lucille was quietly
happy in her husband’s home.
When Mr. Victor returned home he
was rejoiced to see how May clung to his
wife, and laughingly exclaimed,—
“ Ah, Goldie, I knew you could not
long resist your beautiful momma; how
happy I am to see you united l ”
When he learned the story of Davy
Dale he looked very grave for a moment,
but seeing poor Lucille’s lips quiver, he
caught her to his heart, kissing the tears
away as he whispered,-— '
“ My noble wife 1 My darling now and
always! "
“ That is all very nice, but where is my
title? Ah, momma, I won the prize,
but what was it worth, indeed?” cried
merry May, dancing out of the room,
with her blue eyes sparkling and her face
all aglow. -
AN ANCIENT TUNNEL.
The Governor of Samos, Abyssides
Pasha, has at last succeeded, after years
of work, in uncovering the entrances to a
tunnel of which Herodotus speaks with
admiration as the wOrk of Eupalinos and
Megaira, and which, according to the
same authority, was built during the
tenth century B. C. The tunnel, about
5,000 feet long, was intended to secure a.
a supply of fresh water to the old sea-
port town of Samos, and consists of three
parts. They are the tunnel proper, 5g
feet high and 6 feet wide; a. canal about
5 feet deep and nearly 3 feet wide, which
runs in the middle or on the side of the
base of the tunnel, and the aqueduct
running in this canal. The aqueduct
consists .of earthen pipes, each 2 1—5 feet
long, 32 to 83 inches in circumference,
the sides averaging 1§ inches in thick»
ness. Every other joint has a hole, for
what purpose has not yet been fully ex:
plained. M. Stamaticdes, a Greek"
‘archaeologist, believes that they were in-
tended tofacilitate the cleaning of the
pipes and to make the flew of water
easier.
The canal is arched over, but twenty-
eight manholes were provided to admit
the workmen who were charged with
cleaning and repairing the aqueduct.
The tunnel is not quite straight, forming
an elbow about 1,300 feet from one of the
entrances. This elbow, according to M.
Stamatiades, was caused by a mistake in
the calculations of the engineers, who
had none of the instruments used in tun-
nel building nowadays. The tunnel
starts near a small water-course which
may have been quite a stream in olden
times, pierces the mountain Kastri,
which was formerly crowned by the Fort
Samoa, and ends a few hundred yards
from the old town of Samos, about ten
feet below the surface. From the moun-
tain slope to the city the subterrranean
aqueduct is protected by a massive stone
structure, ending within the walls of the
present Convent Of St. John. The pres-
ervation of ' this work—which is truly
wonderful considering the imperfect
mechanical resources at. the disposal of
the builders—for nearly 3,000 years is
probably due to. the ' care taken by
Eup’alinos, who in all places where the
rock did not seem of sufficient firmness
lined the tunnel with several layers of
brick, running on the top into a peaked
arch.

LOUIS DE BOISSY.
Louis dc Boissy was one of the most bril
liant and versatile writers of his time. Hr
appeared among the men of letters in Paris
while Louis XV. was in his prime—toward
the middle of the last century. His poetry
was something new and refreshing to the
pure-minded and right-thinking ones.
When appealed to by the gay and frivolous
courticrs to write for them light and ribald
songs, he would not do it, and they hence-
forth gave him the cold shoulder. He ap-
peared upon the scene for a. season, giving
joy and delight to those who could appre-
ciate him ; and for a season, too, he elevated
the tone of the drama. Some of his dram-
atic oilusious. were delightful, and he was
applauded in the theatres, and his praises
were sounded in tho coffee-houses. But
those whom he delighted were not the
wealthy ones. Those to whom his heart
was given, in all its warmth of love and de-
votion, were the poor and the suffering, and
of such he was the idol. But, alas! that
could not find him in bread!
At length, Louis do Boissy was missed
from his usual hauntsf One of his dearest
friends had called repeatedly At his lodgings,
and had been informed that he was not at
" home. But the time came when he would
accept that answer no more. One day he
burst open the door of the chamber which
’he knew De Boissy had occupied, and there
behold a scene that held him spell-bound—
horrified!
De Boissy and his beautiful young wife,
and their only child, lay gasping in the last
stage of starvation. Poverty had overtaken
him; want had borne him down; too
proud to ask for help, preferring death to
an acknowledgement Of his (lesiitution, he
and his wife had agreed to shut themselves
up, subjecting their innocent child to the
some cruel fate, and thus die in each other‘s
arms !
But the friend had found them in season.
He rushed first for nourishment, then he
listened to their sad story,- and that story
he took to Madame de Pompadour. She at
once sent to the unhappy man a hundred
louis d'ors, and enlisted other friends in his
cause. Shortly thereafter he was made
Controller of the Mereure de France, and a
pension was settled upon his wife and child
to be paid them while they lived.
Once more Louis dc Bolssy was the idol
of the people ; and now with money enough
to enable him to live at his case. But he
never degraded his genius to unworthy
works. What he wrote was pure and health-
ful, giving pleasure while it profiled.

\VOIISE THAN DOCTORS’ LATIN.
_.
“ Ogsattcgassctt.”
A clerk in a retail drug store pointed to
the above strange word, written on a sma‘
piece Of paper that was pasted into a. scrap
book. The thick book contained more than ,
a. hundred puzzling orders that had been re-
ceived at the store and saved as literary
curiosities.
“There it is. Now tell me what it
means,” said the clerk, defiantly, addressing
a newspaper friend.
When the reporter had confessed his ina-
bility to translate “ ogsattegassett " into
English, the clerk explained:
“ The person who wrote that wanted ox-
alic acid. We were some time, however, in
understanding the order. The Latin pre-
scriptions of physicians are not as hard to
decipher as the written applications for
drugs we frequently get from unleurned
people. By experience we learn to read
the latter, but I must confess we have to
study some of them a long time. For in-
stance, take this one : ‘ Avis Chaim-a pills.’
You would not suppose that this means
‘ Ayer‘s cathartic pills.’ Here’s another:
‘Seena moue.’ I had to ask several ques-
tions of the person who presented this be-
fore I discovered that senna. and manna
were wanted. There on that page you see
‘ Box yelapcrcilacca,’ which was some-
body’s way of asking for a box of yellow
basilicon. This ‘ Tinker mur,’ stands, of
course, for tincture of myrrh; and this one,
‘ Grose of scpliment,’ for corrosive subli-
mate. Many of those other ones you will
understand at once.”
The clerk continued to turn the leaves and
point to his curiosities, among which were
these :
Send me one jil of jin.
2 ounces of hickory pickcry (hicra piers);
also called for as hide pik.
Sulfer is ink (sulphate of zinc.)
10 cents worth Ari Patrick ; also spelled
padygorick, prigorick, pariorigoric.
Pummy stone.
Dose ruburb 1nguiste(mcgnesia.)
Glereson; also spelled gliser renc.
Antenodium‘wine (anlirnonial wine.)
Rose shell salts; also spelled Roe cheel

5 cents Shoemaker-s ginger (Jamaica gin-
ger).
Gobble salts (Glauber’s salts.)

Lickwith of canan (liquid quinine).
Katizicon wine (colchicum wine).
Erryroot for chlldess food.
Kreem ut otter; also spelled cream tater
and cream tatter.
“Inalmost every drug store,” said the
clerk, “a. book of this kind is kept. Ours
is a. dreary sort of business and those funny
orders come in every little while as an an-
tidote for our many dismal experiences."—

QUEEN C HARLO'ITE'S ISLAND.
I...—
Probably no other group in the wide
world carries more curiosities. natural
and artificial, then Queen Charlotte’s
Island; few, I think, have as many» in
the same extent of country. The geolo-
gist, the mincralogist, the botanist, the
agriculturisf, may each of them find
here a wide field for research, while the
antiquarian, the toleologist and others of
the ilk would be highly interested. In
their strange. and wonderful sea mar-
gins ; intheir not less wonderful caverns,
in which nature's work in long past ages
is written as plainly as on the pagesof a
book; in their rocks, whose volcanic
contortions smite the beholder with mute
amazement; in their shells which as fos-
sils are found deep down in the seams of
thy)- anthracite coal, while near Cape
Ball the same sort are found alive in the
sands Of the seashore—of these the
geologist could write volumes. 'In their
quartz ledges which have been traced
from shore to shore, in which gold is
plainly visible in coal measures and other
minerals, a wide field may yet be found
for the mineralogisu The various kinds
of plants belonging, to these islands, the
tiny flowers in ”their natural beauty
peeping out from behind the melting
snow drift on the lonely mountains, the
modest lupins and the luscious straw-
berries, nature’s gift to: man, and even
the broad leaved bush grass—all these,
as they follow in the wake of the of the
receding waters of Queen Charlotte’s
stormy seas, would yield an ample store
for the botanist. Among their snow
clad mountains, by the wild torrent and-
the gentle river, bythe lights and shades
reflected by the sunset hills in autumn’s
shortening days, a boundless range is of-
fered for the pencil’s magic skill, while
the broad acres of rich alluvial bottoms
and the nutritious grasses waving in
the breeze would lead the farmer to say :
—“ Oh, if these lands were mine and my
flocks and herds ranged over the luxuri-
ant plenty they afford!" To the anti-
quorian, the ethnologist and other scien-
tists, the rich carving on the coluiHus
and the quaint legends they depict and
the legendarylore of the people would
afford a. vast untrodden field. Even the
conchologist would feel at home on the
abalone shell-covered shores of Pillon
Bay and on the rocks of North Island.
To the piscatorial disciples of Izzak
’alton an unlimited amount of sport is
furnished by the streams._ In them they
can find the silver salmon and the dainty
little trout of the mountain rill. If tired
of these and wishing large sports, let
them go to the greater depths of ocean,
down to where the stormy winds of
winter are never felt, to where, deep in
the ocean’s caves, they will find a myriad
throng of those denizens of the deep,
the black cod.
JUDGING 0F DISTANCE.
It is very difficult to judge of distance
at sea. Refraction always changes the
rpparent place of an object, so that we
seem to see the' sun after it has gone be-
low the horizon. Amore striking but
less frequent phenomenon of refraction is
that known as mirage. Refraction also
affects the color of an object. The media
through which light passes has more or
less effect upon thorny. In a fog ob-
jects are dimly seen, the effect resemb-
ling that due to distance; hence objects
look larger, for the eye judges of the size
of an object by multiplying the size Of
the image or impression received by the
square of the distance, while the latter is
estimated from the indistinctness of the
object. In the fog the apparent distance
is increased, but the eye interprets it as
due to the Opposite cause. On looking
at the photograph of a tree, a church, a
monument or a pyramid, it is not possi-
ble to form a correct idea of its size un-
less a man or animal is seen in the same
view, with which to compare it. In
nature, especially on land, the interven-
ing objects that lead up to it give the
data. on which to calculate the distance.
Where none intervene, as in looking
from peak to peak, the eye must depend
on distinctness, and where the air is very
clear and transparent, as in Colorado,
distances seem less than they are. If the
object is seen through transparent, but
colored, media, the form remains true,
but the colors are changed.

'I‘IIE B‘ltIDEGlIOOJI’S “ BEST “IAN.”
The custom of a bridegroom being at-
tended on his marriage by a friend or rela-
tive, who is styled his “best man,” as prac-
ticed at weddings in the present day, is of
great antiquity, descending from our Saxon
ancestors. In their time, marriages were
always celebrated in the house of the bride-
groom. On the day before the wedding,
all his friends and relations having been in-
vited, arrived at his house, and spent the
timeinfeasting and in preparing for the
approaching ceremony. Next came the
bridegroom’s company, mounted on horse-
back, completely armed, who proceeded in
great state and order, under the command
of one who is called the forwistaman, or
foremost man, to receive and conduct the
bride in safety to the house of her future
husband. The bride, inher turn, was at-
tended by her guardian and other male rela-
tives, led by a matron, who was called the
brideswoman, and followed by a company
of young maidens, who were called brides.-
maids. aThe Saxon forwistaman of the
ninth century is the phototype of the Eug-
lish “best man” of the nineteenth.
A mxsnanaous CAVE.
A mysterious cave has lately been dis-
covered about nine miles from Gains-
ville, Florida. The , entrance is small,
but the cave soon becomes quite large,
and extends, by a graduél incline, for
about 100 feet to a ledge of rock. Here
there is a steep descent of about sixty
feet, which has to be effected by means
of a rope, to a large rocky hall through
which a stream of deep, cold water runs.
Other smaller caves radiate from this
great recess, and one to the left which is
of a large size, has its walls aluiost en-
tirely covered with names out in? the
solid stone, some of them dating back
fifty years. Several years ago two men
were seen to-cntcr the cavern, and,as
they never came out, it is supposed that
they fell off the precipice and were swept
away by the running stream, the bed of
which is a dangerous quicksand.

ADELAIDE nrs'rom.
Now Acting In the United States.
One of the greatest actresses nowliving,
called by her admirers “the Queen of
Tragedy,” has begun her fourth tour in
this country, '_She has arranged to act in
English exclusively, so that the public
wr have the fullest o portunity' to enjoy
her performances. istori speaks our.
“tongue thoroughly well, and her re 1‘-
toire will give full scope for the emp oy-
ment of her cutest powers. It com-
prises “ Queen lizabeth," “Marie Stuart,"
‘ ‘ Marie Antoinette," and ‘ ‘ Lady Macbeth."
The actress was born to parents who
made a precarious living as strolling
players. Friuii, in Venetian Lombard ,
was her birthplacc.- From her birth in
1821 to 1832, when she was twelve years
old, Ristori lived with her parents. Dur-
ing the latter part of this period she took
parts on the mimic stage. .In 1885 she
succeeded in making the impression
which “led to her fortune." She was
fourteen at that time, and endowed with
remarkable beauty and grace, which em-
phasized the extraordinary ability-Webs
manifested in the drama of “Francesca
de Bimini.” Within a few years she rose
to the position of the greatest Italian act-
rcss, one which she still holds. When
twenty-six years of age she was married
to the Marquis Capranica del Grillo, who,
with their two children, a daughter of
twenty-five and a son, are now with her
in this country. A considerable time
elapsed before the family of the Marquis
become reconciled to the match, which
proved to be a happy one, notwithstand-
ing the circumstances under which it was
made. After her marriage Ristori contin-
ued in retirement about two years. In
1849 she appeared in Rome in Alfieri's
tragedy of “Myrrhu.” The season was
interrupted by the French siege of that
city, when Ristori employed herself in
nursing wounded soldiers. It may be
well to say here, that in the terrible war
between France and Italy on one side and
Austria on the other, 1859, she again
served humanity in the same way. Ristorl
rccommenced acting in 1850, in the city
of Rome. From that date until 1855 she
appeared frequently in' Turin, Rome and
other cities. Herfirstappcarance in Paris
was in 1856, when Rachel was at the
height of her fame. Ristori suffered
nothing in the inevitable comparison of
her powers with that of her rival. Emin-
ent men of letters penned her praises in-
cluding Jules Janin and Dumas. From
Paris Ristori started on a European tour
which was one continued triumph.
Crowned heads added to the unnumbered
honors bestowed on her. The Czarina of
Russiapresented her with a diploma as
Lady of the Palace; she was appointed
“ private reader" to the Empress of
Austria, and the King of Prussia made
her a member of the Order of Merit. .
In 1866 Ristori made her first appearance
in the United States. She acted in
twenty-eight cities, and made $270,000
by her tour. She came a sin in 1867, and
the third time in 1875. er first appear-
ance this visit was in Philadelphia.

Dr. 1). Kennedy, Rondout, N. Y. :
DEAR Sin: About eight years ago I began to
suffer from 3 Liver dlmculty. During the attacks
I experienced severe pain, accompanied by what
I cannot describe better than by calling it a draw-
ing in sensation. The agony of it was almost be-
yond endurance. None of the usual medicines
employed in such cases had any effect upon me.
From time to time I was laid up and unable to at-
tend to any business. This covered a period of a
year.
Finally Mr. Lloyd, 3 druggist of this city, sug-
gested your FAVORITE REMEDY as an excellent
1 for the Liver. I had not taken the whole of
the rst bottle before I found most decided relief ;
the pain passed away, and to my delight I regained
the power to enjquand digest my food without the
former distress. ature seemed to be set going
again. I ctnnot better express my appreciation of
Dr. David Kennedy’s FA ORITE REMEDY than
by telling you that since my personal knowledge
of its virtues I have recommended it to a great
many of my friends and acquaintances.
Yours truly, s Parson.
