A discouraged look came over it, and he turned to leave the office.

What is her name?” “Mrs. Geoffrey Montcalm.” The lawyer started in surprise. There Mrs. Montcalm was wealthy and moved inthe highest cir- cles. How did ithappen that her nephew was in distress? “I don’t understand it,’’ said the law- yer, perplex “Mrs. Montcalm is wealthy, why do you not apply to her?” “My mother did not marry to please her! She was deeply offended, and would never even recognize my mother.” “Who was your father, then?’ “He was my _ grandfather's clerk. After my mother’s marriage they lived comfortably for atime, but my father died of a fever a year since, and we have got along as well as_ we could since that time.” “My lad,” said the lawyer, ‘“tyou may stop at my office for a couple of hours, while I am absent. When I return we will speak again of your affairs.” Mr. Melton took his hat, and went to a handsome house on Mt. Vernon street. “Is Mrs. Montcalm in?” he inquired of the servant. “Yes, sir.” “Carry up my card and say that I de- sire an interview.” Mr. Melton was shown up-stairs into asmall reception room. It was hand- somely furnished. Mrs. Montcalm rose from her seat beside a table covered with books, and looked with some sur- prise at the visitor. She was a fair, but haughty looking woman of about forty. “Mr. Melton, I suppose,” she said. “Yes, madam. “T am familiar with your name asa successful lawyer.” “And I with yours as a leader in so- ciety. Every thing about you,’’ and he extended his hand, ‘‘bespeaks good taste.” “Thank you; but I suppose you haven’t called to pay compliments merely.’” “I have not. I might, perhaps, say the contrary. I came to inform you that your sister is dead.” Mrs. Montcalm frowned. “T acknowledge no relationship of the kind,” she said. “Your sister,” continued the lawyer, not heeding her remark, “has left a ees “I have no interest in your intelli- | gence,” she said, coldly. “This boy is destitute, madam—with- out a home and without money.” “Let him go to the almshouse, then.” “You have money in abundance. Would you suffer your nephew to subsist upon charity?” “I do not acknowledge him as my nephew,” said Mrs. Montcalm, im- patiently. “That does not alter the relation- | ship.” “May I ask if you have fulfilled your errand?’ “Do not be impatient madam. I soon shall. In plain terms, are you disposed to make a provision for your nephew?” “I am not.” “The more shame to you!” “Sir! Doyou mean to insult me?’ de- manded the lady, with flashing eyes. “Not at all! I am telling the truth, that is all. Since you decline to do any thing for the poor boy, I will receive hardness of heart.” “I trust you have now finished, sir.” “Ihave. Good morning madam.” “What a vindictive and cold-hearted woman!” he thought, as he left the house and wended his way back to the office. the young man was enabled to live com- fortably and save money besides. ton said: ‘Thomas, Iam about to an- nounce to you a change in my business.” The young man looked attentive. “I am about to take a partner.” “Indeed, sir.” “You do not ask his name.” “I supposed you would tell me, sir, if you were willing I should know.” “I think it may be necessary you should know. His name is Thomas Eldredge.” “Sir!” exclaimed the young man, in gratified surprise, ‘is it possible you in- tend me so great an honor?” “Yes, Thomas. I have proved your ability, and I know of no young man whom I would more readily associate with myself.” “How can I thank you, sir? You have done all for me—taking me from the streets when I was a friendless boy, and educating me. To you I owe all that I am.” “You have repaid me abundantly. 1 have come tolean upon you, and could not well do without you.” ‘Iam proud to hear you say it, sir. I wish my poor mother were alive to hear it “You have an aunt.” “I donot wish to think of her. has no claim upon my regard.” Ten years passed. The young man became more and more successful and eminent. Clients flowed in upon the firm, and at thirty, Thomas Eldredge was in possession of an independence which promised, before many years, to become wealth. Among his possessions was a small brick house, which he was prepared to let to a suitable tenant. One morning a lady entered his of- fice. “You have a house in H— street, sir, I believe.” “Yes, madam.” “For which you wish a tenant.” “You are correctly informed.” “Have you any objection to its being employed as a boarding-house?” “Not if it is kept in good order.” “What is your rent?” “Five hundred dollars.” “I will take it, sir.” “Can you furnish satisfactory security for paying the rent?” The visitor hesitated. my furniture,” she said. “May I ask your name, madam?” “My name is Montcalm—Mrs. Mont- calm.” The young man started. “Did you formerly live in Mount Ver- non street?” he asked. “I did. My circumstances have changed sadly. I little thought I should ever come to this.” “Do you not know me, Mrs. Mont- calm?” “I never met you before, I believe?” She “I will pledge “I am your nephew, Thomas El- dredge.” Mrs. Montcalm uttered an exclama- tion. “Time brings changes, you see. My mother asked a favor of you, and was haughtily refused. You come to-day to ask a favor of me. I grant it. You shall have the house, and without secur- ity. But I can not call youaunt. I shall make no claim to the relationship which you disowned.” “Thank you,” said his aunt, in an em- barrassed manner. She could say no more. She accepted the favor, for she was constrained to doso; but she felt the bitterness of her humiliation. For years she remained her nephew's ten- ant; but no conversation ever passed be- tween them except on business. As her nephew grew in reputation she often felt that she would like to have acknowledged him.—Horace Alger, jr., in Yankee Blade. —A Michigan exchange gives this ad- vice to its readers: “If a gray-haired woman of fifty in moderately respecta- ble attire is putoff the cars in your town because she can’t pay her fare any far- ther; if she almost immediately receives a telegram urging her to come home on the next train because her husband is dying,and if she tearfully and desperate- ly, ina plenty loud voice, announces that she is going to walk home 100 miles, you let her walk.

Kohl, Father de Smeth and other explorers of the North American inland regions, in the meanwhile no- ticed that the hunting tribes of our frozen Northwestern prairies share the privilege of weather-proof lungs at a distance of 2,000 miles from the next train-oil kettle; while the reports of the Naples hospitals proved that the de- velopment of factory towns had made consumption extremely prevalent in the more than half-tropical coast district of Southern Italy. At the same time experience had left no doubt that a change from in-door to out-door occupations could, in four out of five cases, be relied upon to avert the doom of hereditary consumption. The sickly wives of Silesian weavers recov- ered from malignant lung disorders after the removal of their household to the backwoods of the Tennessee valley; hollow-cheeked mechanics, worn out with hectic coughs, became athletes by adopting an out-door mode of life; of five sons descended from an ancestry of consumptives, four died in city work- shops before the completion of their fiftieth year, while the fifth on his mountain farm outlived his nephews and grand-nephews. Consumption was gradually recognized to be a house dis- ease. It is true that the theory of the old- school party is apparently supported by the circumstances that lung disorders become more frequent after the end of October, and subside about the middle of May; but should that phenomenon be wholly unconnected with the fact that winter is, by excellence, the season of in-door life?

For the same reason Dr. Lewis advised his lung-sick patients to take an extra dose of out-door air in mid-winter, and it would not be a bad plan to utilize the coldest and driest breezes of every win- ter for disinfectant purposes.
