A TEX-DOLLAR BILL. Mies J alia Tyrrel set before the fire with ktr feet oa the tender, and a teadollar bill in ber hand. To ordiaarj mortals a tea-dollar bUl is a tea-dollar bill that, aad nothing more; bat to Jalia it meant aa evening of enchantmeat. " I shall bay while gloves, white satin ribbon, aad a fin," she whispered, seftly, "and Charley will he sure to briar a bouquet. My drata iaa't Tery shabby, aad if it was, he woald never actios. I oeght to have aa opera eloak aad lote of other things, aad I ought yes, I oaght to pay madame ay week's rent. Bat aobody does every thing ha oaght to do. aad it is aot my fault if I hare a IftT-dollar way for twj tea-dollar VM." Thea she looked thoughtfully at the hill, aad turned it over Ta her pretty white heads. As she did so, she notieed a same writtea ia email clear letters in oae corner The characters were so sll that she had to take the aote to the window ia order to decipher' theaa. Bat rery little puzzled those bright young eyes. "I see," she said, aeidiag her head wisely. " 'John Heary Brookes.1 I woader who be is, aad what aaade him write his name oa a bill thatie every body's mine just at present, aad going to A. T. Stewart ia half an hoar. Not a pretty name either. I dare say he is some little snob that thinks there is only one man ia the world, aad he is John Henry Brookes." It was snowing heavily by tbis time, but Julia oared little for that. It was not a block to the stage, and the stage would pat her down at Stewart's door. It was always a little holiday to Jalia to go shopping f and even if it was only a ten dollar shopping, aobody knew that bat herself, aad it gave her perfect freeeeas to look as if she ooald buy all the silks aad laoee she wanted. A man woald aot know how to speed 30 aaiaates ia buying a pair of gloves aad three yards of satia ribbon. Jalia speat two very pleaeaat hours about it, aad thea, sot being able to oome to a deeieoa aboat the fan, she determined to walk ap to Union Square, aad have half a doaem stores to select from. It was aaHe lair aad bright by this time, the sky bhte, the air soft, aad aot very eoM; n wkh a light, rapid step she harried aloag, peaeing erery few mlaates before some gay window, aad eoatieeriof Ms coaestits as carefully as if she really aseaat to buy them. Jaet taming into the square, some one said, "Julia! don't out me ia that direot way." " Why, Charley, who ever thought of seeiag you here at this time of day? I have oeea buying gloves. Have you got the tickets?" " I wm just going up town to see you." " Good boy ! Now what is the matter? You ought to be cutting up the world with a pair of sofcsors ia that den of yours near City Hall. What are oa doing among decent people en roadway at S o'clock in the'ftfr"aooaP" " Well, somethlasr has haeeeaed." "Oh, Charley! WhatP Is it nice?" I doa?t say it's had, exactly." "I'll tell you what: we'll g irito igot's aad have some oysters, aad you Bigot you I shall tell me all about it. Have yoa meaay eaeagh, Charley? " "I have two dollars, July, aad I would rather spend them ia that way than keep them." "Of course. Besides, you would not keep them aay way, aad you might waste them-aad we are jaet here. 1 declare it is a pleaMtat providence meeting you.

Dear me, how nice the warmth is, and the fragrant smalls of oaks and things! I am afraid, Charley, I aaa a little gourmands. Would yea respeot me with such a character?" " You knew I like every fault you have. I think they are every oae charm-i-f." "Thank you, Charley;" aad the words had a tone that set thea quite apart from the rest of the conversation. " Hare are the oysters and coffee: now make them arias; some celery, ana then tell me how you eone to be taking lunch with me at S o'clock in the afternoon, aad it aot Sunday." "I thought you were taking lunch with me, July; but it is ail the same; aad if you had met me, five minutes earlier, you would have seen the oauee of my holiday. He's a regular swell, I tell you aa English gentleman." " Now, Charley, you need not try to impose on me. You've been collecting bills, I guess." " Honor bright, July. I have been entertaining a very rich Englishman, and aa M. P. at that." " What is his name or title?" "He has no title; be is only a Mr. Brookes at present, but he'll be a baronet some day; and he brought the chief letters from some of the biggest London editors. He is one of those statistical gentlemen who want facts, aad he's got bo end of money, and a fine place' in Somersetshire whereaver that is." If !a in Pntrlnnil crnnaav " " Very well, I've no objection; I only wish he was there too, for don't be angry, July I have to go to the opera with him to-night; he made cie promise, and I could not refuse." "But you had a prior engagement with me, sir, and I shall not release you, so don't imagine I shall." "l don't want to oe released; you know that; but what am I to do?" " Why did you not tell him you had an engagement witn a laoy r" " l migat go to au aotei, ana tell mm so yet." " Certainly, that is the proper thing to do. Where m ne staving?" " At the Fifth Avenue." " Very well, wc can walk together so far: then you oan have an interview with this Mr. Brookes, aad come and tell me the result." An hour afterward, as Julia satin her room, making her white satin ribbon into bows, a servant entered and said, A gentleman, miss, in the parlor, to see you." one laid ner bows carefully on the bed, covered them with a clean handkerchief, and weat down stairs. Charley stood on the earth-rag, looking into the blaae with a perplexed look. Jalia weat and stood beside him. "Well, sir?" " Well, July, I saw Mr. Brookes." "Yes?" " I told him I had forgotten that I had prior engagement with a lady, aad that ia America ladies always came nrat." "Very proper. I am glad you told him that. I believe Englishmen consider as quite secondary. Charley, it is oar duty to give hhn a lesson oa that subject. What did be say?" "I net pern ape tae JAdv would excuse me under the ciroumstances." "No, sir, she won't. It is a national question now, Charley: the honor of your country women is in your hands, sir. And the circumstances ?' what are they?" " iiia being a stranger a verv prom inent stranger aad au that." "l snap my ringers at tae circum stance. ' He is a mas, and a rich man ; if he can't take oare of himself, he oan hire a policeman to go with him." Ki Barley laugaaa. 1 ,i my, you are too pretty for any thing. I have a great mind not to tell you the rest. I have a present! meet that I am outtisg my own throat breekinr my heart, I mean." "lioon, Charley; what did he say next?" "He asked if the lady was my mother." The two looked at each other a mo ment, aad thea went into a paroxysm of augater. una recovered nrat. "Oh. Charley, that is really too En gllsh! Why eoald he not have said at once, Is she young aad pretty, and are you ia love "with her? 'that's the way a New Yorker would have pwtit." " That he would ; but Englishmen are all trained in circumlocution offices. I told him the lady was a bcautifal, bewil dering, bewitching, brilliant member of the New York pre, and that I durst not on any account offend her, for I did not know what terrible things she might write about me." " Very good indeed! What then? " "He proposed to go with us. He said be had no objections to the lady's company." "iso objections i ' uow kind of him I Well?" " So I changed our tickets, and rot three seats together. He will be oar guest, July; and treat htm decently, dear. I think from what be says he is curious about American wocen." "Oh!

"I have new laoee aad ribbons and fresh flowers; I dare say I shall look

well enough," she thought. And thea $ "Brookes! that is twiee to day Brookes has been forced oa my attention. It did aot trouble me long the irst time, and I dare say I shall get rid of the second intrusion quite as easily." She took great pains with her toiletbut she always did that. And though she was dressed on time, she kept the gentlemen waiting for her a full quarter of aa hour. But as she never kept Charley waiting, she hoped he would understand her motive, and do all in his power to make the Englishman feel that he was waiting on a woman. Somehow she had got the idea that Mr. Brookes would feel it a humiliation. But if he end, be had either admirable self-control or really fine manners. He chatted with Charley, quite oblivious of the lapse of time, and rose to meet Miss Tyrrel with an air of such indifference as to the opera, that Julia really bad the impression that he would just as willingly stay where he was as go. And ha waa a nice fellow, too. In spite of his scrupulous toilet and his formal manners, be contrived to make the night a thoroughly delightful one to Julia. He did not give ber an opportunity to say a single saucy thing; he was so charmed with America and every one in it that Julia declared "he deserved to be a New Yorker, However, Mr. Brookes," she added, with mock

'seriousness, "good Englishmen come to ssew York when they die." Gentlemen generally " talk over" the ladies who have adorned their evenings, but Mr. Brookes did not make a single remark about Miss Tyrrel. Charley wished he had. He had watched the two with a burning heart all through the opera, and he told himself with jeal ous anger that July bad. never looked so lovely or been so brilliant and enter taining. 41 And that Brookes," he muttered, " did nothing but watch her. He is in love, of course ; no fellow could help it ; and he has nothing to do but buy the ring and order the wedding cake. Fifty thousand pounds a year, and a title coming by-and-by and I have fifteen hundred dollars, and no particular prospects of any kind. Of course July will take him any woman would; and though July is an angel, she likes silk dresses and things of that sort. I wish I hadn't been such a fool ! I only want ed him to see what a wonderful girl I loved me. if I was a poor devil of a I me. it l was a poor devil of a writer, and now I'll bet he cuts me out. ,

To such reflections as these poor' Brookes rose, and Julia followed Charley's pen and scissors went all the 1 him curiously. next day, and many days afterward, i He spread out the bill and wrote his For Mr. Brookes having made Miss i name all over it in large, clear cbaracTyrrel the regular formal visit, weut j ters.

again and again, until tbey were very good friends. "I am going with Mr. Brookes sleighing to-morrow, Charley," said Julia, one evening, a month after their first meeting. " I suppose you will be going to England with him some day soon. Whea are you to be married?" "Charley Rath, you ought to be ashamed of yourself! Do yon think I want to marry every man who treats me decently? You have not time to take me riding, you dear old busy darling. and mast I refuse the goods the gods Erovide' unless they send them by your ands?" Then poor Charley was all penitence and confidence and adoration. Sometimes he had a chivalrous feeling of friendship for his rival, and half persuaded himself that he would be willing to surrender Julia to a man so able to make her happy and honored. Then, again, be had an insane hope that his hotel would burn down, or ms horse throw him, or his dinner choke him. He did not do his work very well in those days; but his chief excused bim. He had suffered himself onoe from "per fidious woman ;" hecorreoted Charley's proof with a sigh, aad hoped the at tack would not last long. To Jalia the winter passed very happily. She loved music and riding, and Mr. Brookes was always glad to gratify theee tastes. She had no suspicion that he regarded their pleasant companion ship in any other light than one of mutual entertainment. Of course Mr. Brookes knew that she loved Charley Rath; he had often seen tbern together. and she had never attempted to conceal the relation in which they stood to each other. One beautiful spr ng evening, Julia, Charley, and Mr. Brookes stood toether at the open window. Suddenly rookes took out his pocket-book, and said, "Look here, Mr. Rath" and he unfolded a ton-dollar bill and smoothed It carefully oat "do you see any thing remarkable about that bill?" " No," said Charley, carelessly. "It seems good enough; but l am no pert." Julia glanced at the bill and smihd. " I can guess what you mean." ' linnrvoalMa " "Yc, I can. There is William Henry Brookes' written on the left hand cornerinverysmailcharacters." Brookes looked amaaed; and Julia, laughing, said, " You need not be afraid of mo; I am not a medium, and 1 nave not the second-sight. I came b by ray knowledge . Is William Henin a very natural way ry yoar name?" " It is. Miss Julia. Mav I ask vou to tell us the secret of your information?" You had better irst tell how you came to do so absurd a thing as write your name in such a place; It would make me feel as if I was wandering about the country looking for myself." " wen, it was a whitn. K!cu English men are allowed to have whims: it is one of the privileges of their condition. That bill was the first American money I touched ; I got it on board the steamer; aad I wrote my name onitia an ills whim, whose source I did not then

analyse, aad eertaialy oan aot now. The first time I went oa Broadway I want iato a bookseller's aad bought a mas and guide to the oHy, and I paid for it with the marked note. I think I did this knowingly, but I am not sure; in faot, I had only a pawing intereet in the matter. That must have been about the 14th of January." " And on the 16th I got it Ia payment for some writing. I know it was the 16th, for I was to go with 'Charley to bear Luooa, aad I wanted new gloves and a new fan, aad I had only that one ten dollars. Than, too, I did not feel very sure if I ought to spend it In that way. I sat thinking and thinking and

turning the bill in my hand; finally I saw the writing and that very night I saw also the writer." " And what impression did it make on you, Miss Julia? I am very curious to know." " I don't like to tell. You will feel hurt." "No, I will not. Tell me the plain truth." "Well, I thought, this William Henry Brooke is a snob who imagines himself the only man In the world. Then I reflected how conceited he must be to put his name on what he has only a passing use in." "Thank you, Miss Julia, for your honesty. I shall never claim another bill unless I mean to keep it absolutely in my own possession. Then I would have a right to put my name on it; don't you think so?" " Certainly; but that would be a more foolish whim than the other; you would get neither use nor intereet for your money." " I should have my whim. But what did you do with the bill?" " I paid it into the treasury of Stewart & Co , and got in exchange gloves, ribbons, and hair-pins." "And you did not forget the name? That is strange." " Not at all. I was introduced to you that night, and I have had no leisureand no -inclination to forget it since. How did you get it back again?" " I paid my hotel bill to-day, and received it among; other notes in ex change. Will you pleasa look and see if it really ia the same?" "Yes. I think there is no doubt of i.. , "Now will you kindiy get me pen and I ink? "You will find them in the other par"You have made it useless, Mr. Brookes." Tt. la inn nrnstntia in 11 aa Remem ber, it really introduced me to vou. I shall never let any strange hand touch it again." ' Ah," said Julia, half pettishly aad half longingly, " yon are rich, and oan afford sentiment. As for me, I should be compelled to spend it in a week." " What a lotof nonsense altogether!" said Charley, with angry contempt. " Of course," answered Julia, scornfully, " it is nonsense to you, sir. Tendollar bills are simply beefsteak and cigars in your eyes." "July, I did not expect this from you," said the poor fellow; and with a look of reproach that made her feel utterly wretched, he took his hat and left them. For some "minutes no one spoke. Julia stood at the window watching Charley up the street, and Mr. Brookes leaned against the mantel watching Julia. At length he went to her and said : " Miss Tyrrel, this little incident affects me profoundly. I am a matter-of-fact-man, and I have not known how to indicate my love by complimentary speeches. But I do love you with all my soul, and if you will be ray wife, I oan give yoa one of the most enviable positions in England." " I do not love you, Mr. Brookes," "But you might learn." u Oh, never! I love Charley Rath with all my soul. " " Thank you again for being so honest with me. But if you love Mr. Rath, whyfdid you speak so-so" " Cruelly? Oh, I don't know; Charley provokes me sometimes. We have been engaged three yeara, both of us working and hoping for belter days ; but they don't come. Charley does his best, though; it U not his fault; and I am ashamed of myself for making him feel his poverty so terribly." "I beg you to believe, Miss Tyrrel, that my love is no selfish one. To make you happy is its fondest hope happy in your own way, you understand. Can I do any thing to forward Mr. Kath's i nrAsrtonr afrit " xes, 1 really tmtL. you could. You know all the famous London editors, and you are an M. P., and a rich man too. I should think you could easily get Charley some position that would alibrd us enough to live on. You see, I don't want much ; I can make all my own dresses, and I know how to keep house and 000k, and I can write, too." "My dearyoung lady," said Brookes, and his eyes were misty with tears, "you deserve every thing' that you can desire. Be very sure I shall not. forget you." And kissing her hand, he murmured over it a "farewell," and departed. All this happened about five years ago. I was July's confidante at the time, and I must say I felt annoyed at her refusal of the rich Englishman. "You were real selfish, July," I said; "yoa might have remembered what a nice place your house would have been for me to come to every year, and I and just sick to go to England, too." But one day in the autumn I got a let

ter from July whloh ade mm suspect omethlag unusually good had happen, ed. "Charley and fare) goisg to be married. We are going to be married ob Wednesday next, aad we sail for London on Saturday." I west immediately to see July ; but there was no getting her to behave reasonably. It was Charley this, and Charley that, till I was sick of the monotony. She was like a wild bird, flying up aad down stairs, singing and chattering. I really never dreamed that any girl ia ber senses oould have ben so happy on the verge of such an awful, awful experiment as marriage. However, she always wrote such extravagant letters that I hoped the best Im kai nu . .nd la.1 ai.m kmam T - l i .

see hery and so had an opportunity of judging for myself. Charley met me, and took me at onoe to their house at Iliohmond. I never was so amased in my life. It was really a splendid mansion quite aristocratic, indeed and the furnishing, the silver, and servants were all in keeping. They had also a handsomo carriage and horses, and Julia was droseod like the Qaoen of Sheba. " Aly dear girl," I said, as we sat chatting in my room, "you don't mean to tell me that all this splendor comos out of an inkstand ? If so, I don't go back to New York ; I shaU ask Charley to put me in the way of picking up the crumbs that fall from the editor's table." "Didn't I tell you that Charloy is in the Customs ' now? Mr. Brookes got him a very lucrative position." "I should think so. Then he does not write now?" " He writes his name, love, to papers and things writes 'Charles M. JRath,' for about four hours a day." " Very profitable writing, July. 1 am amazed When I look at your house, gardens, servants, dresses, etc." " And yet they all came from that marked ten-dollar bill. It was a lucky bill to me almost like Aladdin's lamp. I wish I had it." v " But I don't think you will get it again. Brookes is just the man to fold his heart up in it, hoard it away all his life, and then make a point of having it buried with him. I think sentiment of that kind sheer nonsense, but I will indulge any Englishman that fancies it.at the same rate of interest it has paid vou. July." And Julia said, with a sigh, " It was a lucky bill. Frances ; I wish every poor girl could find one like it." Harper's Weekly. Tellew Fever in Northern Cities. Mr. E. D. Mansfield of Ohio writes of the ravages of yellow fever in Northern cities : My grandmother and undo died of yellow fever in 1794, in New Haven Conn. My mother had it. My fathor remained in Philadelphia during its mortal prevalence in 1798, and I visited New York in 1822, when it prevailed there. There is no mention of the yellow fever previous to the middle of the seventeenth century say 1660 -and one of the most remarkable instances of Its appearance was In the city of Philadelphia, now (and possibly thea) the cleanest city in the United States. In 1699 William Penu returned from England to his Pennsylvania colony in December. He found it bad been ravaged by the yellow fever, which is thus mentioned in ofrnes'i Annals: "A mortal disease, called the yellow fever, had swept away great numbers of people just before his arrival " To understand how it may prevail in Northern cities, take the case of Philadelphia. It has appeared there several times, and in two remarkable years with great mortality. In 1793 no lees than 3,600 persons died in Philadelphia from yellow fever. In 1798, 3.645 persons died of this disease. Philadelphia, in. 1793-96, had about 50,000 inhabitants, so that about one in fifteen of the inhabitants died in less than three months Yellow fever has been there at other times, but very seldom in the present century. It has visited New Yortc twenty two times, but never so fatally as in Philadelphia. In 1822, when I was there a day or two, the three lower wards were boarded off and the fence was marked : " The Infected District." It had begun at the footof Rector Street, and never got into the upper part of the city, but within the infected district it was quite fatal. tt visited New Haven, Conn., as I have said, in 1791. The mortality was not great, but the town was small. Yellow fever and scarlet fever have prevailed together, and the deaths in both were about one in eighteen. The c.ises I have mentioned, and some of them attended with extreme mortality, show that the cities of the north are not exempt from it, even in its most maligant form. m m The Prince Imperial rode into dungor, it is said, like a thorough French cavalier, with laughter in his eyes and a jest upon his tongue, and he died with the name of his country among his last recorded words. He left Kngland, too, In the most buoyant and sanguine spirits, telling his friends that he would see them in the course of the year, when he hoped to have been able to show that he was a good soldier. Abbe Goddard of Chiselhurst says that the Prince, no matter how busilv occuniad. never for got his religious duties .
