Care and I.
.—
We’re good companions, gray Care and I;
' We’ve climbed life’s azure mountains hand in
hand;
And now. familiar with both tear and sigh,
I follow her into the shadow-land.
There was a time in youth’s exultaut pride,
I laughed the dreary monltress to seem;
And bade her turn her furrowed-front aside,
And take her shadow from my rosy morn.
But imperceptibly her dark form neared,
, Until at last she journeyed at my side; -
.fler gloomy eyes into the future peered,
And o’er 'the present fell her shadow wide.
Thenceforth her sombre visage chased away
The cheerfulness that lends to life delight;
Her stern hand draped the golden front of Day,
And snatched the poppies from the wreath or
Night. , .
There was no pleasure which she did not share,
N o fond desire which_she did not restrain;
I learned at last to prize my angel Carp,
That saved my heart from vain regret and pain.
And so, I say, we’re good companions grown;
Let me not miss her from my later days !
With lighter heart I near the dread unknown,
If to the end her dismal shadow stays.
My Veiled Client.
At the time of the incident I am about
to relate, I was a young solicitor, with
no very considerable practice, and there-
fore not always so discreet as Imight
have been, had I been able to, pick. and
choose my cheats. . .
My business hours were ostensibly
from ten to five; but the fact of my
house adjoining the ofiice made me
subservient to the wishes of the public
beyond the time stated on the brass
plate at my office-door. In fact, it was
generally after business hours that my
most profitable clients came; and
though I can say I refused many. a time
the agency of some shady business,
still, I must confess with regret that
once or twice I found myself unwittingly
involved in transactions which I would
have much rather left alone. One of
' these I have occasion to remember too
well, and I can never think of it but I
thank Providence for saving me from
becoming an accomplice unwittingly in
a most daring piece of imposture.
I was interrupted one night at ten. by
the servant entering and saying that a
lady wished to see me. Hastily finish-
ing the meal, I hurried to my business
room. As I entered and bowed, a lady
pose, made a slight courtesy, and
remained standing. I begged her to be
'seated, and asked of what serviceIcould
be to her. It was alittle time before she
answered, and then it was in a nervous,
frightened way, glancing around the
room as if she were afraid somebody
else was present. I saw that, although
she was dressed in good style, she had
not the air of a lady; but as she wore a
thick veil, I could not distinguish her
features, though I made out a gray hair
here and there.
“ I suppose I had better explain who
I am and what I want.” she began. “ I
am Miss Howard of Graham Square,
and I want you to ‘make out my will.”
> I started involuntary, for this elderly
person, though I had never seen her
before, had been the subject of many a
surmise and many a gossip with the
neighbors. She was reported to be very
wealthy; but had apparently abandoned
the world, for, during the last five years,
she had shut herself up in her house,
seeing no one but her servants. My
curiosity was therefore piqued at the
idea of making out this old eccaetric’s
‘ wilL Taking up a pen, I asked her
to give me the particulars of how she
wished the property disposed of.
“That is very simple, " she said; “I
wish my whole property to go to Mr.
David Simpson of Stafi‘ord Street here.
> I have never been married ; and I want
‘ the will framed so as to cut of any heir
who might claim any relationship to me.
I also wish you to act as my executor in
seeing my will carried into effect."
I made a note of the instructions, and
asktd when it would be convenient for
her to call and sign the deed.
“If you. could have it written out by
to-morrow night, I could call then and
sign it. I would like _ if you could
arrange to have a doctor present to be a
witness to my signing—m young doctor,
if possible. "
“Certainly, madam. , To-morrow
night at this time will suit, and I will
arrange to have a doctor present. Is
there nothing else you wish mentioned
in the will ?"
“No; nothing,” she said, ‘ rising.
“But be sure you make it so as to cut
of all relations.” _
I. I assured her everything would be as
she desired; and after assisting her into
the cab which was waiting, noticing the
while that she had a slight limp in her
walk, I retired to my room to frame the
will in accordance with my instructions.
Next night, punctual to the minute, she
called; and as I had a doctor present,
the ceremony of signing was soon over,
the doctor signing asa witness along
with my clerk, and appending a. certifi-
— cute of sanity, as desired by my client;
and the deed was consigned to my safe.
The afi‘air had almost completely
passed from my mind, when I was
startled one morning by receiving a
note from Mr. Simpson the legateein
the will, informing me that Miss Howard
was dead. I immediately proceeded to
the house, performed the usual duties
devolving upon a solicitor in- such cir-
cumstances, and made what arrange-
ments were necessary. After the
funeral, I had a meeting with Mr.
Simpson, and explained to him the
position of affairs—that he was sole
legatee, and ‘that I was executor. He
seemed to take the matter very coolly,
I thought, but was anxious that every-
thing should be realized as soon as p08<
sible. Our interview was very short;
and I came away with a strong feeling
of dislike for the man, who, Ifound,
had acted as a sort‘of factor, for the
dgceased lady. .
Acting within the duties of my ex~
ecutorship, and also with a desire to
find out if possible the relations the old
lady had been so anxious to cut ofi‘, I
inserted a notice of her death in most
of the leading newspapers in the king-
dom. This hadthe desired effect; for
in the course of a few days I was waited
upon by a young gentleman, Edward
Howard, who informed me he was a
nephew of the late Miss Howard, and
had called upon me, having got my
name and address from one of the news-
papers to which I had sent the adver-
tisement.
During my interview with oMr. How-
_ ard, I was muchzjmpressed with his
' bearing on my telling him the position
of afl'airs, as he was much more con-
cerned at his aunt’s death than at the
purpose of her will. He told me that
'five years ago he had married against
his aunt’s wishes ; she , had refused to
recognize his wife ; and though he had
written her several letters, he had never 2
heard from her in reply. He thanked
me for my information, and said he
would like to see me again, as he was j
coming into town to a situation he had :
just been offered.
Some weeké after this, as I was re- 1
_ turning homo'in the evening from a
consultation, my attention was arrested
by the figure of a woman in front of me.
'She was hurrying along as if trying to
escape observation ; but there was some- i
thing in her style and the limp which
she” had, that struck me as familiar, :
. though I could not remember where I ;
had seen her. Just as she was passing :
a lighted part" of the street, she hnp- i
pened to look around, and the face I i
i
i
saw at once explained to me the famili-
arity of her figure—both face and figure
being an exact counterpart of my laic
client’s, Miss Howard ! ‘
- Somehow or other, a suspicion flashed
across my mind‘; my instinct told me
something was wrong, and I_ determined ,
to follow her and see where she went
over so much bottor.
to. Pushing my hat well'over my brow
and pulling the collar of my coat well
up, I followed through two or three
streets, mrl was almost at her heels
when she suddenly turned into a public
house, when, so close liadI followed
her, I heard the attendant say in an-
swer to an inquiry by her, “Number
thirteen, ma'am;" and I saw her dis-
appear into the back promises. I im-
medintly followed, heard the door of
thirteen shut, and glancing at the num-
bers quietly opened number twelve,
and after giving an order for some
slight refreshment to the attendant who
had followed me, I took a hasty look
around the room. -
I found it was divided from the next
one only by a wooden partition, which
did not reach the ceiling, and that, by
remaining perfectly quiet, I could hear
that a whispered conversation was being
carried on in the next room.
The entrance of the attendant with my
order disturbed my investigations;
but on his departure, and regardless of
the old saying that listeners seldom
hear anything to their own advantage.
I did my best to make but the conver-
action. I distinguished the voices to be
those of two men and one woman. The
latter-I at once recognized, or at least
my imagination led me'to believe it to
be the voice of the person who had
called on me a year ago to make her
will. The voice of one of the men was
strange to me ; but after the discovery
I had already made, I was not greatly
surprised at recognizing the voice of
the other manto be that of Simpson,
the legatee in the will. The whole
thing flashed :upon me at once, and I
saw that I had been the innocent
machinery for carrying through a clever
and daring piece of imposture. I how-
ever listened attentively to the con-
versation, in order to fathom the whole
affair. ’
The first sentence I made out came
from the stranger :— '
“I told you young Sinclair was the
very man to do the work for you. These
young lawyers never ask any questions
as long as they get the business."
“Well, well,” said Simpson, “that is
all right now. But the present ques«
tion is, what is to be done in the way of
hurrying him up with the realization of
the estate without exciting suspicion?
The sooner we get away from this the
better. I am glad that young fellow
Howard didn't ask any questions. But
one thing's certain, we must get the old
woman away from this immediately, or
she’s-Aleure to get recognized. She's
been keeping pre‘tty close lately; but I
dare say she‘s gettifig tired of it. Aren3t .
you, old lady ?"
“Indeed," was the reply, “I would
be glad to get away from this place to-
morrow, if I could. I’m sure I on]
wish you could have been content wi
‘half of the estate with Mr. Edward,
instead of burning the will, when you
found it was to be divided betwoen yen
and him, and getting me t?) do what I
did. I’m sure it’s a wonder my mistress
doesn't rise from her grave to denounce
us all." ,
“ Keep'that cant for another occasion,
old. women ; it’s no use getting religious
now. But I’ll. tell you what—I've got
an idea." '
Here the conversation got so low, that
Icould not catch more than an occa-
sional word, and what that idea was I
never found out,”as he never got the
chance to try it on me, for I had heard
enoughto know that next door tome
' were three of the most daring conspir-
atorsI had every come across, who had
duped me and made me, though unwit-
tingly,~the chief actor in the conspiracy.
My first idea Will! to lock the door of
the room they were in, and go for help. ;
but as that was likely to cause adie-
turbance, I determined to slip out and
trust to being back in time for their
arrest. As luck would have it, nearly
the first man I met outside was a detec-
tive whom I had known very well in
connection with some criminal trials in
which I had been engaged A few
words explained my purpose; and
signaling to the nearest policeman, he
placed him at the door of the shop, and
both of us walked in. He nodded
familiarly to the bartender, and leaning
over the counter, whishered in his ear.
The shopman started, and gavea low
whistle.
“You’ll do it as quietly as you can,
for the credit of the house."
“Of course,” said the detective.
“ Show us in.”,
In another minute we were inside the
room, with our back to the door, the
detective dangling apair of bracelets
and nodding smilingly around the
room. The woman fainted. We had
no difficulty in securing. the men ; and in
half an hour we had them safely in jail.
Before their trial came on, we had
worked out the whole story. The
woman who had called on meand signed
the will was Mrs. Simpson, Miss How-
ard‘s housekeeper, the mother of. Simp-
son in whose favor the will was made;
and the other man was a‘lawyer‘s clerk
who had suggested to £19 feasibility of
such a scheme. The fact of Miss
Howard‘s_se1f-confinement and my own
imprudence had made the --plot asuc-
cess, but for my accidental recognition
of the housekeeper. Each of the
prisoners offered to turn Queen’s evi-
deuce; but as we had no difficulty in
proving the case, this was refused, and
they were sentenced to various periods
of penal servitude. I had then the
pleasure of handing over the estate to
the rightful heir, young Edward
Howard, who, notwithstanding that I
lizul nearly been the means of depriving
him of his inheritance, made me his
agent. '
The estate turned out to be much
darger than I had at first thought, as I
succeeded in proving that a large
number of investments in Simpson's
name really belonged to Miss Howard

HE’D scoop A LITTLE.
About the time that Daniel Drew

the country one time to visit some
friends, and two farmers called upon
him to decide a case. One hadsold the
other five bushels of wheat, and pro-
posed to measure it in a half bushel.
and sweep the top of the measure with
a stick. The other objected, and Uncle
Daniel was asked to decide. .
“\Vell, legally speaking. a bushel is
oiily'a bushel,” he answered.
“ And can the measure be swept ofi‘?"
“ I think it can."
“ \Vhat with ?”
“ Well, if I was selling wheat. I should
' probably use half the head ofa flour
barrel." _
“ Which edge of it ?" '
“Gentlemen, that is a point Icaunot
now decide on,” sighed the old man.
‘ “ If I was sellingto awidow or a preacher,
I am certain that I should sweep the
measure with the straight edge; but if I
g was selling to a man who pastures his
pigs in his neighbor’s corn, I’m afraid I
: should use the circular side, and scoop
a little to boot.”

Scientific
The speed of sapcnification is the
subject of a recent memoir by. Z. T.
Reicher. His experiments prove that
for every compound ether can be deter-
mined a value characteristic of the
speed of its saponification—the sccalled
" speed constant."
In the German army salicylic snot is
now used universally for foot sores,
sores from riding. etc, and is found
much more satisfactory than the salicylic
powder which was formerly employed.
The salicylic east is composed of 2

of the best mutton suet.
According to Wroblewslfl‘sliquid. Oxy-

evaporating liquid nitrogen in a vacuum.
Muntz has endeavored to ascertain
whether the nitrates of Peru, in which
iodine exists as iodate, contain also
bromine as bromate. The result of his
examination has been afiirmative. Not
only potassium iodate, but the bromute

duced in presence of the active agent:

During the last two years, the Nature
reports, several Celtic tumulus in the
district of Geinberg, in Upper Austria.
have been opened-and found to contain
valuable relics of prehistoric times.
Recently a similar tumulus was dis-
covered at Mettighofeu. in the same
neighborhood, and among its contents
was found a diadem of pure gold richly
carved in the well known style of old
Celtic art. ‘ ’
M. Mippolyte Fontaine asserts that

resistance of 100 ohms even for one hour.

L. Garnier insists on the necessity of
never attempting toattenuate the efi'ects
of putrefaction in any organ reserved
for chemical analysis by the addition of
any antiseptic or disinfectant whatever
which may introduce a poisonous sub-
stance, and so occasion trouble, if not
error. He has, he says, found arsenic
in potassium chlorate, which leased to
destroy organic matter in the search for
metallic poisons by the process of Fre-
senius and Babe. '
In' a paper on the action of light upon
pigments employed in painting, an
Edinburgh artist states that his experio
ments have led him to the conclusion
that Prussian blue in oil is the most
stable of colors. He asserts, however,
that it would neverdo to employ the
fleeting aniline pigments upon the same
canvas with the stable Prussian blue-
painting one portion of a picture with
the former and another with the latter.
In fact, the aniline colors are found to
be, for the most part, quite unsuited for
painting purposes.
By means of a simple chemical pro-
cessa beautiful coloring of yellow is
now given to marble, without any
injurious effect upon the polish or hard-
ness of the stone. Neutral chloride of
iron is for this purpose dissolved in
ninety per cent. of M00110},- and after
gently heating the marble to be colored,
the solution in question isapplied by
means of a brush, a_,,sprinkler, or by
pouring, the strength of --th_e_solution
being, of course, proportioned to the
depth of the color desired, and care
being requisite also in" regard to the
degree of temperature. On the .marble
becoming completely dry it is moistened
with water or exposed to moist air, when '
the decomposition of the salt of iron
takes place in the upper strata, and the
process of Coloration is complete. all
that remains to be done being to polish
the surface, if necessary, or it maybe
simply rubbed ofi‘ with a wet cloth.
For light tints, very diluted solutions
are applied.
In an article on “ The Use of Oil at
Sea, ” by Lieut. John P. Holditch, R. N.
R, the author says: “The results I
have obtained are these: Fish or colza
oil only is of any good; it does not
‘matter how dirty it is as longasit is
not thick. Parafin is too thin; paint
oil too thick. Running before agale
naturally expands much more oil than
‘laying to,’ you have so much more
water to oil. Carefully expended, one
quart in three hours for running, one
pint in four hours for laying too, will be
sufficient. The means I used was a
canvas bag (No. 6), with large holes
stabbed with a needle. I have heard of
a bundle of oakum being saturated with
oil, and then put in a coarse gunny bag,
which I think would admit of a. thicker
oil being used for the time. The place
for towing is undoubtedly forward not
aft. Whether in head-reaching oil
could be used successfully I cannot say,
but I doubt it. When running dead
before the wind, tow from each cathead,
and the ship is as ssfe as anything can
be at son.”

EATING \YIIALES AND PORPOISES.
-q--_.._
The whole was eaten by the Stixona
and when the men were lucky enough
to get it it appeared at table in the
fifteenth century. In 1245 Henry III.
directed the Sheriff of London to pur-
chase 100 pieces of whole for his table.
Whales found on the coast were the
perquisites of Royalty—they were cut
up and sent tcthe King's kitchen in
carts The grampus, or sea-wolf, was
also highly esteemed; but of all the
blubber dainties. the . porpoise was
deemed the most savory. The Saxons
called it sea-hog, and the ecclesiastics
of the middle ages parse marina. Por-
poiscs were purchased for the tableby
Henry III. in 1240. At the marriage of
Henry V. the guests were treated with
“roasted porpes," and it is mentioned
again in the first course at the corona-
tiou of Henry VII. This coarse animal
was esteemed as food until late in the.
sixteenth century. It was often on the
table of Henry 111., and even Queen
Elizabeth. who was rather choice in her
appetite, had porpoise meat among her
Friday diet, and it was sold as food in
the markets of Newcastle as late as 1575,
from which time it appears to have
fallen into disrepute. ’

ACTBESSES ON THEIR TRAVELS.
A writer on the idiosyncrasies of star
actresses has found but few instances of
downright extravagance among them,
for most 'of them, while. living well, do
not live extravagantly. An exception
was Adelaide Nelson. who lived in royal
style and entertained so. lavishly that
there was‘usually a row of empty bottles
outside her door.'Among actresses of to-
day Modjeska exaezs the most elegant
surroundings. ‘She _alwaye occupies a‘
number of rooms eh suite—41w bed-
rooms, a parlor, a dining-room ands
boudoir. These are fer herself and her
husband, extra‘ room being engaged
for the maids. In the furnishing of
her suite of rooms two things are indis-
pensable-a piano in the parlor and an
open .grate fire in (the dining-room.

DOG DIGNITY.
Sir ,Waltcr Scott declared that he
could believe anything pf dogs. He
was very fond ‘of them, studied their
idlesyncraciee, wrote muclr in their
praise, and told many stories of their
strange habits. Once, he said, he de-
sired an old pointer of great experience,
a prodigious favorite, and steady in the
field as a rock, to accompany his friend
Daniel Terry, then on a visit to Abbots-
ford, and [who concluded to go on a
[sporting excursion. The dog wagged
his ‘tail in token of. pleased obedience,
shook out his. ears'led the way witha
confident air,'and began ranging abdut
with most scientific precision. Sud-
denly he, pointed, and up sprung a
numerous covey. Terry, bent on
slaughter, fired both barrels at once,
aimingin the centre 'of the covey, and
missed. The dog turned round in
utter astonishment, wondering who
could be behind him; and looked Terry
full in the face, hit, after a pause,
shook himself again and went towork
as before. _
'A second steady point and a second
fusillade followed, but with no efi'ect.‘
home at his leisure, leaving the would
be-sportsman to find for himself the
repeating the anecdote, and always do-
clared that it was true. while Terry
never said more in contradiction than
that “it was a good story." '

In furni-lliing a house, harmony of
col or is of the first, importance. Not
that walls, carpet, curtains, chairs, etc,
should be of the same color; that would
make a room lock cold and uninviting.
There should be two or three colors in
a room, but these should humanize. If
one is conscious that she has an eye for
of known taste before purchasing or-
ticles which,‘ although by themselves
might _be desirable, would perhaps if .
placed with others spoil the efi‘ect of the
whole, and be a disappointment tobe _
endured for years. A carpet, for in~
stance, should be purchased without
considering what the color of the paint
is; and so of the sofa and chairs if they
are upholstered. A carpet is like the
background of a picture, it brings into
effect the whole. Styles for carpets
have entirely changed within a few
years, to their great improvement. Pat-
terns of large boquets of, impossible
flowers used to be seen. almost every-
where ; now a very small, set figure, so
small as to look ahnost like a plain color
eta little distance, is in much better
taste. This may be enlivened by a
pearl and gray grounds; with'viues or
tracery of a darker shade, and bright
borders of Parisian patterns. are very
desirable, and look well_ with almost
everything. The fashion of staining
floors black-walnut color for a yard or
square or bordered carpet in the centre,
is gaining ground, and much liked for
the pretty style had the convenience of
taking it up for cleaning. It is also
economical. There are now plain iu~
grain carpetingu, in solid colors, called
“filling," which are used around these
centre rugs, instead of staining the -
floor. We have seen parlors carpeted
with dark, turquoise-blue filling. with
Persian rugs overthem, not in any set
