II' in th 0ffi:ig DOW. co iuck pretty Mar Wallace, as, sitting it the loot of a litt! tree, her favorite haunt and old time trystinjr-placo in the woods, she abandoned here!f to happy anticipations of her lover's return. Kach hour might bring him now. Her bonnet was thrown aside and her black curl rippled down loosely over her shoulder Her head was thrown back into the palms of her hands interlocked behind it. and her beautifui face, thus upraised, beamed with innocent gladnens. And eh stag, ad the birda aing. trom aheer happiness. "He'a in the ofiinir now." sang a fall, rich, manly voice, joining her in the last line of hr song, and with a little inarticulate cry of surprise and joy she sprang to her feet, to be the next moment enfolded in the strong arms of ber tailor lover, back from the sea. Dorn Hacket waa a fine-looking younar fe'low, of a size worthy of a wo i an'i i i sein ur, with a handsome, expressive fare, hazel eyes, brown Pair, broad and wellbalanced head, square shoulders, deep chest, and auch powerful arras ns mL'ht have served for the model of a Hercules. "Why, darlinir, you are cryinu-!" he exclaimed, a with t'-utle fores he raided her 'ace from his breast and looked into her )VCB. "Ah, Dorp, they are happy t-ars. Do rou not know tbat a woman weeps when her heart is full, just because it is full, vhethtr it be filled with joy or Borrow?" Well, you ahiiil never cry for sorrow acaia if I can prevent it." 'Then you will uever asain leave me for so Ion 7 a time. Oh, Dorn, it seemed as if you never would como back; and my heart ached so with longing for you. You don't know l ow unhappy I have been sometimes while you were away." 'Wny? Han that rascal Mlas been makiug you any more trouble?" demanded the voun man, hi eyes blazing, and bin hands involuntarily clinching in sudden tntft-r. "No, no. Dorn. He went away very loon after you di i, and has not returned liner." 'Then that nncle of your, I suppose " "He haa been no worte than before; rather better, perhaps as JiUs waa not here to be uned upon me and you were rone noc but I knew where and, as he no doubt hoped, never to come back, lint I beuin to think, air, that you didn't love me at all as much as youprofessed, or vou would have feit something, of the lone.inee that I suffered and understand better whv I was uuhappy." Inrini, J-M "What a foolish girl I have been ! Crying my eves out for one who waa no doubt very merry without me and well contented." ".Ah! You only say that to 'make me tell you e?ain how much I love you, litt e Mollie. I've felt loney enough, sometimes, it is true; but never enough to cry about it, I must confess; and I rather think the fellow is soft-headed as well as soit hearted who pipes his eye and get 9 down in the mouth when he can say to himself that every day that paa.-es, and every nevr exertion he makes, brings him nearer to the girl he love. Why, instead of getting blue with thoughts of my faraway little Moliie, they gave me couraze, and strength, and happiness. They warmea me as I lay along the yard furling ait in the icy gale; they made short the long hours of the night when I took my trick at the wheel; they nerved mv arm when I struck for the life of a whale." "I find niyselt bejinnin to believe a"in that you really did love me." "1A3X9 you? Why, I couldn't live without loving you." "And you naver thought that while you aere bo long away I might learn to love lomebody else?" "No. Never even dreamed of such a thing." he replied simply. "Ah! Now I know you loved me, for only perfect love, knowing but ita own fullne.-a and truth, is so trustful. And you were rizKt, dear Dorn. I could love no one but you." "We I, my pet." continued Dorn, after the natural ceremonial of due recognition of auch a sweet avowal tha form and manner of which youthful readers may readily figure to themselves, and older ones perhaps Ün 1 suggested by memory "we'd not have much longer to wait now. Our cruise was a good one. and when the shares are figurwl up and paid off I'll have a handsome little sum coming to me. Then an owner in New Havan, Mr. Merri wether, want- m to take immediate command ot a schooner trading between that port and the Weit Indies, and haa offered me such a prettv share of th p roots that I Lave agreed t make a few tripa for him. Then I shall have enough to build a cage for my bird, and to buy, not simply a ahara in a schooner, but'a whole schooDer all by myself. 1 hope, and we will be made folks for life." "Oh ! You'regoing away again. Dorn?" "Yes, but only for short vovages of a month or so at a time, and I'll "be over to eee my little Modie every time I'm In Lome port; and in the fslf, if not before, we'll be married. No more long voyas for me." "I'm so triad to hear you say that, dear; and I can wait patiently, even happi y, whn I may see you sometimes." And, possibly for happiness still, the nirl began crying softly again. "Come, come, little Moliie," said her sailor lover, consoling her with a kiss, 'there's no occasion to rig the pumps In such fair weather as this." Mol ie smiled throazh her tears and dried her eyes. "Sow he continued, "let me hear voor voir, darling. Tell me something." " "What shall I teil you?" "Teil me again If you still love me." For answer she put her arm around his neck, drew hia face down to hers, and kiesad him. What words couid have Wen to complete and eloquent an assurance) aa that chaste and tender carets? "My own dear little wife." he exclaimed, embracing her passionate! v. "Don't call me 'wife' until I am one," eh said, with assumed earnestness: "for I'm told It's unlucky." "Well, maybe it mar be." he answered lowir and doabüogly, "Thers's no de

Well, I won't take any chances on it. But I've thought of you for eleven hundred day and nights as my little wife, and the words sprang naturally to my lips, r-tdl I'll try not to call you so any i:.ore until we are married." "And to prevent any harm from your indiscretion I suppose I must u.se the counter-charm." "And that is-?" "To call you," and winding her arms again about hia neck she whispered in his ear. "my big husband." And then, of course, there were more suitable ceremonials, endearments and caresses, and' mutual protestations of undying affection, such as young people so circumstanced have alwavs made, make yet, and doubtless will make to the end of time. How very hort the time seemed to the lovers from the moment of thdr meeting until by a gl nice at the stars, the true sailor's clock, Dorn saw that it was near the hour for him to leave Klysium and hasten to join a shipmate, who'waa waiting for him in a light sail-boat oil Npeague Inlet to take hi n back to N-w London and the stern realities of life.

V. THE pnisny or dOLn. There was no difficulty whatever in establishing the identity of the Van Deuat brothers, and no obstacles were interposed to prevent their entering into possesion of their fortune as speedily as the forms of law and the timo requisite for communication with Holand woud permit; for in these daya it had not yet become a branch of the legal business to stir up vexatioui wi I confers, based upon tlm fictitious claims of presumptive heirs, in order that lawyers might Ueece the real inheritors, liven before the money arrived from Holland Peter wanted a few thousand dollars of it in the house ai a tangible evidence of the reality of their wealth, and .Mr. Holden very cheerfully humored his whim by making him an advance ot the required amount. The old man had no idea of investing the money, or buying anything with it, but he loved to run his fingers through the glittering coins from time to time und iiten to the mel.iiluoua music of their chinking; to count, and recount, and pilo the yellow discs, and think what he could do with them if he had a triad to. The unhappy fact waa that this midden acquisition of wexlth hid developed a rea ly miserly disposition in the elder brother. Aa is verv common, especially among those who only acquire large fortunes late in life, posuen.ion begat in him a longing to po8ees. He even felt it an injury that heliad been all those years without that money, the existence even j of which he had not known, and for which, now that he clutched it, he really had not the slightest use. He had never been one at whom the tongutt of scandal misfit have wagged the reproach of prodigality, even in his youth ; but his jealously careful economy was greater now than it had ever before been. Jacob proposed one day that the' should purchase two black broadcloth suild and crape-bound bats, to be worn as mourning for Cm-le Dietrich, but wai completely discomfited by the look of pained surprise with which 1'eti-r regarded him, and the tone in which he replied: I "Now, Jacob, wou.d you go to mnking ; ducks and drakes of our litt e money in j that way, and at your ti ne of life?" i No, Jacob resigned hia idea of a tribute i to Tncie Dielncu'a raimory, and penti tentiv declared he re.llv had no notion of

becoming a apendihrift; and thereafter he uncomplainingly aud unqueationindy left hin elder brother to the sole administration of their joint wealth. When the bu.k of their inheritance arrived and was placed in the hands of Mr. Holden for investment on bond and mortgage in New York, that it miht yield mure dollars to covetous Peter's longings, then the old man's troubles indeed bean. When he heard of a tire he trembled to think that perhaps it was property mortgaged to the Van Deust fund that was burned. When he rea 1 of a bankruptcy he shuddered for fear that the delinquent mL'ht have been indebted to the Van Deust fund. When be had no bad news, then his anxiety was even greater, for at times he was capablo of thinking it possible that worthy little Mr. llo den might Lave run away with the Van Deust fuud bodily. Ah this made hi:u a very uneasy and unhappy old man. Jacob's kinder and more trustful nature gave place to none of those anxieties, and Peter resented hia seeming indifference to the Van Deuat fund. "Jacob," said he one day, "we might live to see the fuud doubled." "Well. Peter, if it were what more good would it do u-?" The elder brother fe!t almost sick with disgust at that unambitious reply, and said that he felt so. Thus it was that Peter's temper, never a remarkably sweet on, became so sour that meek old Jacob grew to look upon him with actual dread und would shun him, or eit looking askance and timidly at him, when they smoked together on the porcn in the evening, in the habit but not the content ot former days. And, seeing this, a new suspicion entered Peter's soul to plague him. "I suppose," said he one day, with a grim smi.e. "that you think because I'm the o deat I'll die first." "Now, now, Peter, my dear Peter I I assure you I never had euch a thought," protested horrified Jacob. ' "Oh, it's only natural you should. I don't blame you. liut I'm good for a good many years yet, Jacob ; a good many years yet." I trust and fervently hope and pray, brother Peter, that you may ba good for vary tnanv years to come." And the tender-hearted old tnin'a voice trembled, and hia eyes w ere moist as he spoke. "Why," said he, "to think of your dying, Peter, gives rot a a a" "AntJea. eh?" MN, bo, Peter, not at all that. No. A coM shudder I meant; but you startled me so I eouidn'l think of the word. After all the many y eara we have lived together, a 1 by ourselves, with no other companions, and hardly any other friends than each other 1 Whv, Peter, if I were to lose you I'd want to die myself, riaht ofT." "Humph. Not you. I know what you'd want to do a heap more. And I don't blame vou. Oh, no. It'a natural for you. But I know." "Know what?" "I know what you'd do ?ith the fund if I was out of the way." Thea you know much raere, reter,

than I should know, even if I had it in my iiands. to do what I phaied with this ble-aed minute." "Why, vou'd be a special providence for the women. That's what you'd be, you soft old noodle. You'd give it away to the young ones that wanted to marrv, like Mrs. Kichard. Oh, you don't think I've noticed and understood your hin in 'how poor ehe waa,' and 'how Lard ehe must find it to net along with her five small children and deserted by ber worthlest husband;' and I've no doubt, if tho truth were known, ho had some good reasons for leaving her. And you'd give it to the old onea. iuat becauce they were old women. You d give a lot of it to Mary Wallace, for her mother's sake, I've no doubt. Oh. yes. Beautiful ideas you'd have, and tine thing you'd do with the fund it I ws out of the road." "If I should do all that you have said, brother, I think the fund would be doing a great deal more good than It does now." "Aha! There! You admit it! I knew it! Hut you needn't think you'll ever get the chance. I'll live to bury you yet." By ihM time he had worked himself up into a veritable passion; his lean o d fincers trembled with the agitation of his wrath, and his perverted senses wr re deaf and b ind to the loviug kindness of Jacob's meek and gentle response, "And I hope, Peter, that you may." "You dou't. You're a hypocrite," he retorted, furiously. Jacob looked at him sadly, shook his heal tnd alter luzutinz his pipe in pi enc, strolled away tor hia evening emoke to the woods, where he was wont to retire when Peter made the house too warm for him. But the crushed worm, proverbially at least, eventually turn; and one day the young r brother, badgered beyond endurance by thos oft-reieated taunt and retroaches, which were at ways accompanied by cruel raspings ot the oil wound in his heart, faced his tormentor and replied: "Will," he said, "take it by and large and I think if I thould do all that you have said with the money I'd make butter una of it tnan you'd be likely to." "What do you kuow about what I'd do with it?'' "No more than you know what I would; but I've got just as good a right to guess as you have." "Weh, what do you 'gnesa'?" retorted Peter, with a sneering, wicked grin. "Why, I imagine that as long as you lived you would hang on to every penny of it, like an old miser as you are, and whrn Death loosed the greedy clutch of your avaricious fingern from it, it would be discovered that you had leit it all to found a home for oru-out, dried up, u melees, ill-iiatiirn-(1 old animal 'such as wt are, creatures- who have outlived alt love but that of self, anl d-serve no other; men who, like you, have no without a blush for what they are, and a sigh for what they ixiiht have been." "Jacob, you're a clun k e-heade l ans." "Peter, you're a aoudeda old curmudgeon, and a brute." "Don't you ta k to me liko that. Fcr 2 cents I'd knock your head o:f." "For a money consideration I've no doubt you'd try it; but I'll bet you a thousand dollars you caa't knock one side of it oil." "You'll bet a thousand dollars! I'd like to know where you'd gel 'em." "Kigl't in the house Half the money that's there belongs to me. It all belongs to tne just aa much as to you." Oh, indeed ! And you'd like to knock me in the head and get possession of it, would' you?" "No. But I'd like to jam some sense into your thick skull, ami bleed out some of the meanness and sediahness that fills your heart." "Faw de Lo'd's sake. Is you boys a qwa'.in'?" demanded old back Betey. coming upon. the porch; and they slunk away ashamed before her. But when Jacob had once "read the Declaration of Independence." aa he sty.ed hia self-assertion against Peter's domineering disposition, he soon fell into the habit oi repeating the precedent, and ns Peter did not willingly or eaiiy relinquish his sovereignly the prerogative of seniority in his opinion they had many a wordy wrangle, and not infrequently uttered to each other such threat as might we 1 have seeme l ominous if overheard by strangers. And they were overheard, and their quarrels were repeated and magnified in crculation from mouth to mouth, so that it was not long before it became matter of common notoriety in the community that the two old men had actually had knock-down lights; and once, when Peter waa laid np with the rheumatism, and Jacob was nursing him most tenderly ana assiduously notwithstanding the invalid' temper waa just then even worse than uaual it waa popularly believed that the elder brother had been almost killed by the younger in a bioody combat, and there were those who even talked of "speaking to the squire about it." But the brothers never did come to blows, and the only immediate result of their quarrels was a formal division between them of the money on hand in the houBt, after which it waa a lowed to lie in two parts, as useless as it before was in one. Jacob, indeed, had some idea of giving hiä share to Mary Wadace, but couid not exactly make up his mind upon what pretense or with whatexcuae to otTer it, und feared to oliend her. One day lie eat on a little mossy bank by the roadside when ehe passed him, coming from the woods with a bunch of wild Mowers in her hands and going toward her uncle's house. ShH was close to him, but did not see him. iter thoughts were upon her absent luver, and in the exaltation of her happiness she was oblivious to all about her but her own joy. Too old man's eyes were upon her, however, reading her secret in her countenance transfigured by love and hope. Ah! how her look; brought back her mother's face to his ramemoraoce. Little? she would care," he eaid softly to himself, "for the money now. he haa love; and that is better than gold." to be continued .next week.

James A. Campbell writes to the Crescent City (Del Norte county) AVim the following from Troubletome Point, Yukoa river, Alaska; When I wrote you before wo had opened ovr claim in a n-w way and had just tapped the pay dirt, which was good, and water was pleutiful. Heretofore we have had no dry weather after July, but it has beat ail records this year, for we have had little or almost no rain and it is very cold, so we have not done a tap of work since July r. It froze the night of the 4th of July aa thick as a window pane in Urge pools of water, and on the 11th of August it fro 7. ice in a tub three-quarters of an inch thick. In the mountain it is co der, and the water 'tops very suddenly. At present we have just enough water to etiiice ths top of the ground to our pny dirt; the ground that we are now sluicing oir would pay from ?S to per day if the water was plentiful. Our claim is an old channel about 250 feet from the river end about twenty-five to thirty feet from the top. It is thirty feet from what has been the middle of the river to the edge, is eight feot deep at one edge, three feet deep at the other and fifty feet wide. Thidirt pays from $15 to ?" per dav shoveling in sluice-boxes. Ill luck attended us, however; the water cave out suddenly and materially reduced our profits. If our ground had held out we couid have cleared esri y from f 4,000 to $rt,000 a share; but aalt is we have cleared $St0 a share. We will certainly get out a few hundred more before it freezes. I am going over to a new district tomorrow just to fre it. They have struck a dozen gulches in that country, one big one. There are fiity-three locations of 500-foot claims. From what I hear the prospects are good. In a short ti ne three men have taken out oOO ounces of gold, ami a (treat many claim to have good prospects. A wet -posted man told me that owing to the high location of these claims they could not be worked more than two and n half month in the yer. I t-l i you it make a man grow gray very tjuick to tit and look at good pay which is frozen and possibly will be for all eternity. I have been from $1.00) to f.l.OCÖ go more than once in this country. Last spring 1 put a hole through a gla.-ier. tapped tin bottom And struck what would be a good gulch if the glacier ever mits; but until it do -s it is good for nothing. Of course, 1 was broke afid in debt in tho spring. But after all, I must say I like this life better evry dav. There is a large company herewith no opposition that cinches us for all it can. A new company i exnected. Thrs is no reason why wo should pay such extravagant pricffi. The Bering sea is eata for three months in the year. Look at the tubs that go scaling and whaling every year, and vry few are !oBt. And there never was as pood a river for transportation as the Yukoa. It is wide and deep Unless it be at the mouth, which is reported to b3 shal.ow ; but it is genera ly bel.eved that there is a deei channel entering it, the location of which is kept a secret by the company to keep out ocean vessel, for shou d they enter tho bar tber could easilv go to Fort Yukon. Ths river is cleared by the heavy run of ire, which even grinds out hrs m the middle of the river. Think of such heavy ice, breaking from the head, moving down and crushing the standing ice, but littlo or none at a 1 thawed, in ono mighty sweep It is a grand sight In three days after it passes the river U clear.

I am eighty miles up Forty-Milt creek. It cost 10 cents per pound to g-d freight here in the summer. All of the hauling ii done by dogs, there being uuallv from four to eix in a toam. It ie not uncommon to see ten or fifteen teams in a string. Good dogs ßell irom to $:') apiece. Kach one can haul from 150 to "J00 pounda day, traveling about twenty miles.
