GOOD.BYK."

BY MAT f IK N. BROWS. "GooU bye," a lover whispers, Standing beide the gulf, " 'lis hard, o hard to leave yon. But we can not alter fate; Think of in 4, love, for aye, Oood-bye, sweetheart, kkI bye.' "Good-bye. dear mother, hold me Close to your loving heart. Ah! bow it hart to say it. To know that we must part; List, list, the wild heart cry. Good bye, mother, good bye." The little waned Augers Kest calmly in our own, And baby a bright, young spirit Without a or moan. Steer for its borne ou nigh, Kollo wei by oar "good-bye." Bring hither spotless lilies, Koses, and milk-white phlox; With loving lingers strew them Inside this rosewood box. For maidens, too, must die, "Good bye, alas, good-bye." Thus at eaeh cross a.d turn. All through the ceaseless rush Of restive, busy life. From morning's earliest blush The evening's later t sigh-Good-bye, good-bye, good bye. Mariner on life's ocean. Mourner beside the tomb. Traveler along earth's highway. These words thy past illume; Beyond these changeful skies There'll be no more good-byes. A CONFESSION. Most men would hesitate at telling such a story of themselves. But I am convinced that it will afford a suggestion of mercy toward such as do fall, and some may be turned away from temptation by its recital. I had been an under clerk in a large es tablishment for many years. Naturally economical, my savings had attained to such a respectable sum that I ventured upon married life, quite as much aa a refuge from the monotony of my inexpensive style ot living as in obedience to those yearnings of nature, which a man is either very loolishor very bad not to heed in due season. Like most men. however, whose adventures of this kind are cot followed by the comfort and ease which depend upon money for their possession, in the course of time I came to repent the undertaking; for I was in dfebt, and my family bad increased, whilo my income had not kept pace with my expenses. My wife lacked the courage to practice the proper self-denUl which would be consequent upon a retrenchment of our expenses. I was daily annoyed by duns. I had borrowed money in every available quarter, and a walk in the public street was literally denied to me by the fear of encountering some one to whom I was in debt for house expenses. Returning home late one night, jaded by a listless stroll through the town, I found the junior member of the firm awaiting me. The house had received intelligence, after business hours, of a transaction entered into on their account, which required the immediate transmission to an isolated inland town of several thousand dollars, together with certain papers and statements necessarry to conclude the affair. It was too important a matter to be entrusted to the insecurity and uncertainty of the mail. Upon a consultation of the members of the firm, I had been elected to perform the necessary two days journey. I accepted the mission with alacrity, for the reason, among others, that it would be such a recreation as would divert my thoughts for a time from the perplexities of my miserable condition. With the usual foresight of the firm, everything necessary to my prompt departure had been prearranged. The needful papers and accounts, and the indispensable money required to finish the transactions, were placed in my hands in an envelope addressed to the gentleman who acted as agent of the concern in the matter. A letter of instructions was also inclosed. I remember well the bright September morning on which I started on horseback and alone on my journey, of which I accomplished half the first day, arriving at a farmhouse, whose occupant unhesitatingly eranted my petition for a share for the night in its humble hospitality. The weather had grown colder as the evening came on, and by the time I had reached the house I experienced a sensible chill. I had with mo a flask of liquor, and waa furnished, at my request at bed time, with a small quantity of hot water, with whicn to compound a sort of punch, as an antidote to the cold 1 apprehended having taken. I had removed the package of money from my pocket and laid it on the table, with a view of putting it under my pillow before going to bed. As it lay on the table the address was uppermost; on the left hand upper corner was a memorandum, "$5,000 inclosed.'' I wa3 standing with my back to the door. Succeeding a few moments of entire silence, I heard a step behind me, and I almost thought a breath upon, my face. Turning suddenly round I beheld my host with the hot water I had called for in a tumbler in his hand. lie was quite beside me, and his eye rested, or I fancied it rested, on the package upon the table. I muit confess-1 was sersibly startled by this incident. My concern was not diminished by observing that he had removed his boots from his feet, and was then standing aa he had come up, in his stockings. My first impulse and act waa to take the water out of his hand. Not being quite ready to use it, I put the envelope ot money on the top of it as the most convenient thing to keep it hot. I did not turn the superscription downward, because I feared it would betray the suspicion which I now positively entertained of evil intentions on the part of my entertainer, who had quitted the room as noiselessly as he entered. I imagined a great many ways in which he could have become acquainted with the cause of my journey, and came rapidly to the conclusion that my employer's funds were in danger. That they were actually so became evident before the night had passed. I recalled the man's countenance vividly to my recollection, and examined from memory hU features, so aa to make some estimate of the character with which I had to deal. Physically he was more than my equal. When I first alighted at the house it struck me I had seen him before, and after some moments of further and profound reflection, I distinctly recalled him to my mind as a merchant who had dealt with our firm during my earlier connection with it, and who had failed through the dishonesty of friends whom he had assisted. I remembered him as having been spokes of as disgusted with trade, and with his family, and earning a living literally by the sweat of his brow. There were but two bedrooms in the house, r ti en the same floor, a passage which commenced at the head of the stairs dividing them. "While the thoughts which I have related were passing through my mind, I heard voices in the other bed-room, and quietly opened my door, which my host had closed behind him. Standing out in the passage. I could distinguish a man's and a woman's voice. At first their language was unintelligible, but gradually my ear became accustomed to the duty I endeavored to put it to, and I could distinguish that the burden of their talk was their domestic expenses, and the general current of their thoughts was the difficulty of getting through with certain undertakings they had in contemnlation or had commenced. It was evident that the man was more hopeful than the woman. My excited imagination at once framed the theory that the treasure in ' vr.Tr rwviaMuion was designed by them to eofve this difficulty; and that the man was being urged on by the leas scrupulous or braver woman. A sudden movemsnt of one of them toward the door caused me to retreat into my

room. I beard the bolt of their doer moved,

and supposing it was to unfasten it, I bur ried back into ny own apart nent and caught at the envlope. intending to hasten it out of sight. In my eagerness to gra?p it, it fell off the tumbler with the watered side upper most and opened I lne waters nad. been so far dissolved by the heat and moisture as to split in two, leaving one halt ot each (there were three) on the flap, and the other half of each on the body of the envelope. Mean while, there was no si en or sound of an in road into my room, of which I had seen it was impossible to fasten the door, save by moving some of the furniture against it. I became convinced that as yet everything was safe, and yielding to a fueling ot curios itv. I drew the money from the inclosure and counted it over. There were ten one thousand dollar billsl I was astounded, and for the time forgot the fear that so recently harassed me. I looked at the memorandum on the back of the envelope. It was "$5,000.'' The letter was open be fore me. I read it over. It named $5,000 as the sum inclosed. There was evidently an error. I counted it over again, len thousand dollars was the sum before met Again and aain I counted it. I bad been used to handling large suras, and counting large sums of money daily; but I actually found more difficulty in arriving at the ac tual count of the bank bills before me than I ever before or since encountered in count ing any sum. however laree, or however numerous the notes. Finally, putting a chair against the door, I spead the notes out singly on the little ttble, in a row, and counted them with my finger. Then I made two rows of five notes each, and again counted them. I finally, though slowly, became satisfied that I had in my possession double the amount of money 1 was expected to deliver to my employers' agent. Temptation entered my soul. Five thousand dollars would relieve me of all my debts. Here it was within my grasp, i had but to seal up the envelope by rewe.ting the wafers, inclosing but half the money, and deliver it sealed to the agent, and my trust would De, to all appeara - jk i -v .a ance, faith'ully discharged. unce the thought occurred that possibly it was a trap 6et for me by my employers. But their confidence in me was unbounded, and the suspicion was formed only to be dismissed. I do not attempt to glaze over the dishon esty of what 1 contemplated. Hut I bad been so unceasingly worried by domestic troubles arising from limited resource3,and so persecuted by creditors, that 1 almost argued myself into the conviction that appropnatmg the money was simply authorized: self-defence. I would pay all my debts, get clear with the world once more. insist upon my wife s adopting my views of living, save money, get into business for myself, and finally pay back the sum. 1 concluded to leave the envelope unfast ened until the morniDg so as to give my self that much more time before finally de ciding upon an act which all my arguments with myself had not made entirely reconcil able. Arrived at this conclusion, my atten tion again turned to my host and his wife. I could hear his voice alone now. It had been sounding alone in an elevated tone for some moments. I crept quietly to the par tition dividing their apartment from the passage. The bright autumn moon, which was on their side of the house, shone through triAir window, ar.rl trirnnc-h th snacpa hatween the shrunken planks of the partition, Ä ;t v, .r,r wa flm. UU VU ALA b VU? L'03(S -f BUU V A vaa a0 AAVrwa, in brilliant bars of light. It was easy for me to see what was passitg within the ro m. Man and wife were kneeling at their bedside in prayer. The man witn upiuted head and closed eves, uttering an earnest supplication, his wife beside him, and one arm passed affectionately through one of Lis, and her head resting againat his breast. They were kneeling at the side of their bed opposite me, and his face was plainly vitible. Its calm and pious expression was a sufficient rebuke to at the moment my unjust suspicions. l began to listen in time to hear him say: "Pardon. U merciful Father, not only the sins of Thy humble servant and his household, but turn the hearts of those who have done evil unto him, who have wished him injury, and who have harbored unjust suspicions of him. Bles such, O Lord, and preserve them in order that they may turn rom their ways and seek the path of righteousness." His serious, earnest and manly voico struck a chord in my heart, not only in sympathy with the honest and tender supplication that was passing from his lips, but of contrition for the wrong I had done him by my suspicions. I involuntarily compared him, whatever were his good or bad deeds, at least an humble penitent before his God. with the wretch that I had decided but a few moments ago to make of myself, by the misappropriation of my employer's money, and still, however, tempted by the relief it could obtain for me, would not quite give way to the feeling of repentance which was knocking for admission at my breast. I had half decided to turn away and drive these better thoughts from my mind, when I observed something moving in a small crib that was placed at the side and toward the foot of their bed. Its occupant, a grandchild, whose parents they had iaformed me were dead, awakened probably by the grandfather's voice, rose up, looked around, and settled down upon its knees, and clasping its little hands as its grandfather's were clasped, and looking upward, out through the window at the moon, whose bright light fell full upon its darling face, began moving its lips as if trying to repeat the words. Nothing so like an angel ever met my sight. The grandfather began tha Lord' prayer. The little fellow Bee med to have this by heart. He repeated it word for word, his tiny, silvery voice sounding in sweet accord. I could not turn away, nor any longer resist the better emotions which I had hith erto kept down. A rush of repentant feeling passed through me with an effect that shook every fiber. I fell upon my knees and with tears streaming lrom my eves, joined in the concluding words of the prayer. I need not say I changed my mind with regard to the money. I parsed a quiet night and rose early, Hastening away toward my journey's end so as to give myself the least possible time or opportunity for changing my new formed resolution. In handing the package to the agent I said to him that as there was money in it it might as well be opened in my presence to see that it was all correct, etc He, of course, discovered the error and handed me back the amount that was over, with which I returned home and. delivered it up to its proper owners in due time. It was fortunate forme in every way that I pursued the course I had adopted. It appeared that the money had Wan obtained from the bank after bank hours, in the absence of the teller, from one of the officers. There were no loose notes on hand of the larger denominations, but there were sheets of thousands and five hundreds signed by the President and cashier. Either two sheets were picked up in mistake for one, or the wrong batch of sheets selected from that is, thousands were taken instead of five hundreds. The notes were hurriedly clipped, strapped and indorsed "$5,000," without recounting, and to enveloped and handed over to me. The bank had discovered their error, and no doubt was entertained nut that the missing money waa with me. Whether I should nave had the face to withstand the imputation, even with the apparently undisturbed condition of the envelope in my favor, is more than I can say, but 1 doubt it. Rut thft nnfofl in rm ran an CA of a Vtrecanlinn tili in um in snmn hanks, were Davable been endorsed by him. I coufd not, therefore, have used them, or, if so, tney couia have been traced back to me. I found also that the numbers had been carefully ascer tained of all I had taken with me, and thus

another chance of detection existed. What an escape! Upon returning and entering the counting room I handed the surplus back to my senior, with a feeling somewhat of pride, but mixed up with other feelings not easily described. .My precaution of having the money openni by the agent in my presence was highly commended, and the possibility of his otherwise having misappropriated the undue amount, as very little personal knowledge of him was possessed by the firm.

was duly discussed. What was said on this point brought blushes to-my own cheeks In the course of time my senior accountant was taken into the lirm. I was put in his position, and with hi salary, I saved money, finally got into business on my own account, and now, as you know, am rich. I never fortrot my former host and his grandchild ; but at the death of the former, I took charge of the boy. He is now mv partner, and the husband of my daughter. The Fxlle.

The Home Journal says: Of the man v good things contained in the Verbalist," a work by Alfred Ay res, we select the following items Continue on. The on in this phrase is generally superfluous. "Ave continued on our way" is idiomatic English, and is more euphonious than the sentence would bo with out the particla. I he meaning is, ''We continued to travel on our way." In such sentencep, however, as "Continue on," "He continued to read on," ''The fever continued on for some hours, and the like, the on generally serves to no purpose. Conversationist This word is to be preferred to conversationalist. Corporeal Corporal. These adjec tives, though regarded as synonyms, are not used indiscriminately. Corporal is used in lolCiCliV-D l" fcUO """J'"1 PrPer.8en8e; corporeal, to the animal substance in an extended sense opposed to spiritual. Corporal punishment; corporeal or material form or substance. "That to corporeal substance could add speed most spiritual.' Miltou. "What seemed corporal Mel ted as breadth i n to the w lud." Shakpearc. Cultured This word is said to be a product of Boston an excellent place for anybody or an-tbing to come from. Many persons object to its use on the ground that there can be no such parti cipial adjective, because there is no verb in use from which to form it. We have in use the substantive culture, but though the dictionaries recognize the verb to culture. we do not use it. Be this objection valid or be it not, cultured having but two syllables whilo its synonym, cultivated, has four, it is likely to find favor with tho;e who employ ?hort orjk wh3n the7 convey their ine as well as lone ones. Other adw meanadjf ctives of this kind are. moneyed, whiskered, slip pered, lettered, talented, cottaged, lilied, anguished, gifted, and so forth. Dearest. ,4A gentleman once began a letter to his bride thus: 'My dearest Maria.' The lady replied: 'My dear John.l beg that you will mendtither your morals or your grammar. lou call me your "dearest Maria;" am 1 to understand that you have other Marias'" Moon's "liad English." Die wiTn. Man and brute die of, and not with, fevers, consumption, the plague, pneumonia, old ago, and so forth. Dock Wharf. The flrßt of these words is often improperly used for the sec ond. Of docks there aro several kir.ds; a naval dock is a place for the keeping of naval stores, timber and materials for shipbuilding; a dry dock is a place where ves sels are drawn out of the waters for repairs; a wet dock is whore vessels are kept afloat at a certain level while they are loaded and unloaded; a sectional deck is a contrivance for raising vessels out of the water on a series of air-tight boxes. A dock, then, is a place into which things are received; hence, a man might fall into a dock, but could no more fall off a dock than he could fall off a hole. A wharf is a sort of quay built by the side of the water. A similar structure built at a right angle with the shore is gen erally called a pier. Vessels lie at wharves and piers, not at docks. Enjoy bad Health. As no one has ever been known to enjov bad health, it is better to employ some other form of expression than this Say, for example, he is in feeble, or delicate, health. Female. The terms male and female are not unfrequently ued where good taste would suggest some other word. For example, we see over the doors of schoolhouses, "Entrance for males," ''Entrance for females." Now, bucks and bulls are males as well as boys and men, and cows and sows are f err ales as well as girls and women. Gentleman. Few things are in worse taste than to uee the term gentleman. whether in the f ingular or plural, to designate the sex. i4If I was a gentleman," says Miss Snooks. ''Gentlemen have just äs much curiosity as ladies," says Mrs. Jenkinä. "Gentlemen have so much more liberty than ladies have," says Mrs. Parvenue. Now, if these ladies were ladies they would in each of these cases use the word man instead of gentleman, and weman instead of lady; further, Miss Snooks would say, "If I were. ' Well-bred men, men of cultnro and refine ment gentlemen in short use the terms lacy and gentle comparatively little, and they are especially careful not to call themselves gentlemen when they can avoid it. Jeopardize. This is a modern word which we could easily do without, as it means neither more nor less than its venerable progenitor to jeopard, which is greatly preferred by all careful writers. Lady. To u?e the term lady, whether in the singular or plural, simply to designate the sex, is in the worst possible taste. There is a kind of pin-fea;her gentility which have a settled aversion to usbr the term man and woman. Gentleman and ladies es tablish their claims to being called such by by their bearing, and not by arrogating to themselves, even indirectly, the titles. In England, the title lady is properly correla tive to lord; but there, as in this country, it is used a3 a term of complaisance, and is appropriately applied to women whose lives are exemplary, and who have received that school and home education which enables them to appear to advantage in the better circles of society. Such expresssons as "She is a fine lady, a clever lady, a well dressed lady, a good lady, a modest lady, a charitable lady, an amiable lady, a handsome lady, a fascinating la-ly," and the like, are studiously avoided by persons of refinement. Ladies say, "we women, the women ot America, women's apparel," and so on; vulgar women talk about ''us laiies, the ladies of America, ladies' apparel' and so on. If a woman of culture and refinement in short, a lady is compelled from any cause soever to work in a store, she is quite con tent to be called a sales-woman; not so, how ever, with your young woman who, being in a store, is in k better position than ever before. She, Heaven bless herl boik with in dignation if she is not denominated a sales lady. Lady is often the proper term to use, and then it would be very impn per to use any other; but it is very certain that the terms lady and gentleman are least used by those persons who are most worthy of being designated by them.
