THE OLD, OLD STORY.

(FilOM "HABPKIt'S You net Peopm.")

BT JIMMY BROWN. Wb'VE had a most'awful time in our house. ; There have been over so many robberies in town, aud everybody h_s been almost afraid to go to bed. ~ _ „ ~,, The robbers broke into old Dr. Smith's house one night. Or. Smith is one of those doctors that don't give any medicine except cold water, and he heard the robbers, aud ' ca me downstairs in his nightgown, with a big umbrella in his band, and said, "If you don't leave this minute, 111 shoot you. And tho robbers they said, "Oliol that umbrella isn't loaded ; T' and they took him and tied his hands and feet, and put » mustard plaster over bis mouth, so that he couldn't yell, and then they filled the wash tub with water, and mada him sit down in it, and told him that now he'd know'howit was himself, and went away and left him, and ho nearly frozo to death before morn-. "father wasn't a bit afraid ot tho robbers, but he said he'd fix something bo that he would wake up if they got in the house So he put a coal scutlefull of coal about half wav up the stairs, and tiea n string sr.s™he Pu P P« hall at the head of'the stairs. He said that if a> robber tried to come upstairs ho would he would upset ihe coal scuttle, and make a tremendous • noise, and that if he did happen not to up set it, he would certainly fall over the strin" at the top of the stairs. He told us that If we ff.ard the coal scuttle go off in the night, Sue aud mother and I were to open the windows and scream, while he , ffo t up and shot the robber. . ' The first night after father had fixed eberythingnicelyforthe robbers, he went .. to bed, aid then mother told him thntahe had forgotten to lock the back door. So father he said, " Whyean't women some times remember something," aad he got « p and started to go down stairs, in the dark. He forgot all abont the string, and fell over it with an awful crash, and W ft n to fall downstairs. When he got halflway down, he met the coal scuttle, and that went down the rest of .the way with Mm, and yon never in your life heard anything like the noise the. two of them »»*«■ We 21°*** _?V^- WlndoW'_ and cried murder and fire and thieves, and some men that were goIn« by rushed in and picked father up, and would have token him-off to jail, he was that dread £lly black, if I hadn't told them who he

W But this was not the awful time that 1 mentioned when I began to write, and if I don't begin to tell you about it, I shant have any room left on my paper. Mother g aT e a dinner party last Thursday. There were ten ladies and twelve gentlemen, and one of them was that dreadful Mr Martm with the cork leg, and other improvemente, as Mr Travers calls them. Mother told ma not to let her tee me in the dining room, or she'd let me know; and I meant to mind, only I forgot, and went into the dining-room, just to look at the table, a few minutes before dinner. I was looking at the raw oyster., when Jane-thafs the girl that waits on the table-said, "Run, Master Jimmy; hares your mXr coming.". Now, I hadn't time euough to run, sol just dived under the .able, and thought I'd stay there for a minute or two, until mother went out of the room again. . It wasn't only mother that came in, but the whole company, and they sat down to dinner without giving me a chnnos to get out. I tell you, it was a dreadful situa tion. I had only room enough to Bit still, and nearly every time I moved I hit some body's foot. Once I .tried to turn around, and while I was doing-itl hit)my head against the table so hard that I thought I had npset (omething, and was sure that people wor-H know I was there. But fortunately everybody thought that some body else had joggled, so I escaped for that ?t e'was awfully tiresome waiting for those people to get through dinner. It seemed ia if they never could eat enough, and when they were not eating, they were all talking at once. It taught me a lesson against gluttony, and nobody will ever find me sitting for hours atthe dinner table. Finally 1 made iup my mind that I must have some amusement, and as Mr Martin s cork leg was close by me, I thought I would have some fun with that.. . There was a big darning-needle in my pocket, that I kept there in ease I should want to use it tor anything. I happened to thiuk that Mr Martin couldn't feel any thine that was done te his cork leg, and that it would be great fun to drive the darn ing needle into it, and leave the end stick ing out, so that people who didn't, know thit hi. leg was cork would see it, and think that he ww suffering dreadfully, o_ly _c didn't know it. So I got out the nee-le, and jammed it into his leg with both hands, so that it wonld go in good and d°ls_ Martin gave a yell that made my hair run cold, and sprang up,, and nearly upset the table, and fell over his chair backward, and wasn't there a circus in that dining, room! I had made a mistake about the leg, and run the needle into his real one. 1 was dragged out from under the table, and-But I aeedn'i say what j happened to me after that. It waa "the old, o dstory,' as Sue says when she sings a foolish song abont getting up at 5 o'clock in the morn ing—as if she'd ever been awake at that time in her whole life I

Electric Lighting.

THB Faure accumulator has been practi cally tried to illuminate tbe Varieties Theatre. Result, in point of economy, failure. If expense ba no object, the Enure BCC-mulator and the Swan lamp constitute a very successful combination for illumina ting purposes. What more convenient than to cteltver the supply of electricity for an evening's performance of five or six hours duration, in boxes, 01 accßmulators, 20 by 7bvl->incb.es. However, eaoh accmmula tor weighs 80 to 138 lbs, and as an ordinary theatre would require 2,000 oE these during a performance, and means roughly the daily cartage oi a mass oi boxes equal to 120 tons. Electricity .possesses admirable advantages over gas for llluminat ins theatres ; there is no danger from fire or explosion; there is no heat, no vitiated air, no discolouration of decorations or scenery. Then it would be so much more convenient to deliver dally at tho thoatre the necessary electricity, like portable gas, Histoid of hav ing to produce it on the spot, which neces sitates an engine and other machinery. Now 191 Swan lamps mean as maoy accu mulators; Ihe latter when charged only -0 to 60 per cent, of the fluid, so' great is the leakage. In other words, electricity might be compared to water j the box filled representing 100, there would be an escape of from 40 to 50 percent, from leakage. A 132 lb. aconmu lator costs 250 f. charged; the lamp itself 12 f. mote. But if tho electricity be de veloped on tho spot by the Edison machine, which has up to the present been found to bo the most economical, the difference in ptieo will be nearly 300 per cent, cheaper, assuming the type lamp to represent a 16 ---candle standard intensity. Hence why the Eaure accumulators cannot bo commercially applied. Tho future may lead to cheaper modes o! manufacture and storing. The application of electric illumination, from the domestic point of view, is mak ing protrrew. Some shops in the city are now Iregularly so lighted instead of with gas, But a decisive experiment—a step, in a word—has taken place in the light ing of the Varieties Theatre by elec tricity. It was quite a success, and it no way affected the many varying scenes or tbe peculiar stage in question; the ladies approved of the light, and tbe electrician? were less fault-finding than usual. Tbe system in question is tho application of the Faure reservoir to the Brosh or other 'lights; indeed, efforts seem to be concentrated on | the storing of the fluid. I have spoken to some friends on the council for administra ting tho Faure patent for figures as to price, but havo been ever left In ignorance. A New York Mend promi_.es to send me a lamp just brought out in that eto with success. The electricity is stored m the yaso, and the whole apparatus, the charging Included, only costs a f.w francs.--/ 7-"--. Letter. -'

Reminiscence of a March.

Severalyears ago it fell to my lot to be on the march with a subaltern of my regi montiu Ireland. .It,was taking a detach ment into a remote part Of the country, where, I believe, Bomo disturbances were apprehended, and wo had been started off at a pretty short notice. The town where wo were to stay the night was no exception to the general dinginess. After setting the men down into their billelswe "prospected" the principal inn in tho place, got a couple of very middling bedrooms,, and made up our minds to mako tho best of tho aituatioa. We had divested our wet uniforms, entered our little sitting-room with its jwelcomo peat-piled fire, examined some hideous sacred prints hung round the walls-among them I remember ono of St. Veronica displaying a largo haudkerchief with the Saviour's face upon it—and wore busy planning what to associate with whisky nnd tho jacketed potato, when a note wa. brought in and handed to me, with a message that some one was waiting for an answer. It was addressed to •Tbo officer commanding detachment,— regiment;' but one saw at a glance it was not an official communication the envelope being a daiuty white ono, and tho handwriting almost unmistakably that of a lady. It turned out to be a very courteous invitation from a Mr and Mrs M , of Inishderty Hall (wo will call it) who, having hourd that some troops were passing through Moyentotvn today, hoped for the pleasure of the officers' company at dinner that evening. This was really a timely as well aa a hospitable offer, bo A—, my subaltern, aud I at once agreed to accupt it. •

Fortunately, when evening came round, and the rickety-looking car that was to jolt us to our entertainer's clattered up to tho inn door.fltbe weather had cleared a little. Well do I remcmbor tho drive, the oold, keen air; a pale half moon light ing up tho sombre landscape; dark islands of bog alternating with pools of shimmer ing water; hill slopes near but mysterious, I do not recollect anything very note worthy about our host. He was a tall and rather handsome man, but of somewhat faded aspect—quiet and genial iv his manner, "I am an old soldier myself," was his greeting to u», "and I never like anyone in the service to pass our place on duty without finding him out." But our hostess I As I hands with her, she at once engroiscd my attention. lamat a loss now, as I was theu, to define the nature or cauao of the peculiar interest she seemed at once to excite in mo. Certainly, she [was a remarkably handsome womau, but my observation of her at the moment of introduction was quickly diverted by the strange demeanor ot A . I had turned round and was in the act of presenting him when he Buddenly started, stopped, and, without attempting a salutation or advance of any kind. For the instant tho situa tion was embarrassing, Was the man going to faint, or was he off his head or what. Theie.he stood, stock still, facing Mrs M , till in a severe tone I said : «£._—, this is our hostess." "Mis M ( «Jlow me to introduce Mr A." This appeared to rouso him a little, for be made a tort of backward movement which might do duty for a bow, though a very poor apology forit, and s*id : " I—l—l beg your pardon," reti'lng immediately Into tbe back-ground. If this was bashfulness it was a curious form of it, I thought and cer tainly new in my knowledge of A . Thi3 little incident over, I had leisure to look round the room. There appeared to be abant a doaen people iv all. ,_Jr M introduce-Ime.to a relation of his, a baronet, who3o name I forget; to a parson who assured me in Hibernian acaents that troops had been down here " repeatedly;" and to a niece, whom 1 was to take in to dinner. I caught a morientary glimpse of A-r-, and saw to my surprise that he was furtively, watching the lady of tho house from an obscure comer. Iw as quietiy slipping up to him to ask what it all meant when dinner was announced. At the dinner table, I found myself on the left of our hostess, tho baronet opposite me, A—was placed some distance down on the other side bo that I could keep an eye on him, which I soon began to think I must do. I had now an opportunity of noting more particularly Mrs M 's per sonal appearance. Her age I should ju. ga to have been somewhere about eight and twenty or thirty, considerably under her husband's. Her figure was faultless; neck and aims of that nameless tint one has bo often seen imperfectly described in novels as "creamy white;" a corona of hair of that deep auburn red which so eets off a fair woman; and a face of singular beauty, »f which you forgot everything but the eyes the moment you looked into them, Such eyes they were I Their particnlar size, shape, this or that] colour, would never occur to one; it was their strange, almost weird, effect when turned on you that one felt. It was as though they divined what you wero thinking of and could : answer your thoughts. Yet it was not a satisfactory or a restful face, 2 can recaU certain half-disagreeable .on sations I experienced as ber eyes occasion* ally rested on mine while we talked, and once or twice a flash as of something almott malevolent seemed to pass out of them, One incident I recollect. Wo were dis cussing pictures, and Mrs M—, pointing to some fine family portraits hung around the dining-room, said. "My husband and I are distant cousins, Major P ,so that yon see we are mutually represented here; and yondor is a lady of bygone days, sup posed to have been very wicked, and. to be like me." I looked up, and sure enough there gazed down on me from the canvas a woman's face strikingly like tho speaker's —so like, that except for the costume, tbe portrait might have been taken for her own. It was a finer specimen than usual of the formal yet fascinating style in which our great-great-grandmothcra have been depicted for—us a stately attitude, regular but immobile features, and exuberant charms sumptuously if somewhat scantily draped, The lady's figure, as it chanced, was turned towards our end of tho table ; she held a fail in her hand; the lips had a disdainful, almost derisive, smile; aud the eyes, which in such pictures usually appear to be contemplating the specfator and to follow him about, s .am directed full on our hoates _, " There is certainly a likeness," I said, "but tho lady on the waU is en titled, I feel sure, to an entire monopoly of wickedness." Mrs M laughed, and winged a glance at mo, and the smile and the eyes wero those of the portrait, Another circumstance I remember dis covering in looking round the tablo, whioh, had I been superstitious, might not have added to my comfort. We were sitting thirteen. Mrs M , I rather think, must bave noticed me counting the num. bets, for she made some remark os if in re ply to my thought—"So sorry we were disappointed of one of our party at the last moment."

. Meanwhile A was again . atttacting my attention by his extraordinary behaviour. His partner, a pretty-looking lively girl, was evidently doing ber best to make herself agreeable, and he was answering her in an intermittent fashion ; but I could see he was eating very little, and crumbling bis bread in a nervous, pre occupied manner, while every now and then his eyes wandered to Mrs M , with a curiously fixed stare that was positively ill. mannered and altogether uoaccountable. Instinctively I turned to the same quarter to see what could be the object of this persistent scrutiny, but in vain. There in dead was a beautiful woman dres.ed to per fection, and with those wonderful eyes; | but what right had he to gape at her like that? I began to wonder if she or any other oi the guests would observe As rudeness. I tried to catch his eye, but without Euccess. In a little while I lapsed into comparative silence, and set myself to watch As movements more narrowly, aa well as I could, across the table. After a time it seemed to me that the direction of As gaze must be at Mrs M 's head, or a little above it; but there was nothing that I could see to account for this. To bs sure, she wote fastened into the thick top coil of her hair a jewelled ornament of some kind that seemed to _parkle at time_ with ' intense brilliancy; but still, why this re peated and olt'tnsive contemplation at her own table of a married woman, on whom, f o far as I know, neither A nor I bad ever Bet eyes befoie 1 Could these two have been known to each other.in some by-gone love affair, or was the man gone out of his wits or had he taken too much drink ? How this memorable dinner struggled on to a conclusion I hardly remember. The more fidgety I got,the more irresistible was I drawn to watch A—-. His face wore a pale, scared a<pecr, quite foreign to him, for he was ordmarily a cheery, common sense fellow, .not easily disturbed. __t length it seemed that our hostess became aware of the intent observation she was being subjected to, and before the ladies rose from the dinner-table, hor handsorrfl features had grown vory while, there wa. I

a visible trembling movement in her hand, and her eyes took an uneasy expression not previously there. As soon as tbe women were loft alone, and almost bofore we could repeat eur selves, A—- turned to our host, and in an odd muffled voice announced that he felt unwell, and begged permission to take his departure. Mr M glanced at me with a puzzled air—" He was very sorry. Could he do anything? And, of course, the carriage was entirely at Mr As ser viet." By thia time it was evident some thing really was amiss with A ; so I made some sort of excuse that I feared he haa had a hard day's march and got soaked, sent out our apologies to Mrs M—and re jecting the kind offer of tho carriage, we found ourselves out again in the moon light. The moon was well up, and as we passed the old ruinous chapel you could see, through a little pointed window in Urn gable, the wall beyond halt lit up, and dappled over with long shadows from the thorn trees alongside, Wo waited for a little while in silonce, I deliberating what to say, whether to bo stern or sympathetic, but decidedly inclining to tho former. In deed, whether he were well or ill, the ex traordinary gestures and demeanor of A," that ceoning, were unbecoming in the extreme, and taking place as they did in the presence, of his senior officer could not be passed {over, Mr. A— ■, at length I began in an official touo, "I must ask what is the meaning-." He had been hurrying on with his face averted from mo-; but now, as I spoke, he suddenly stopped, turned round, and, grasping my arm, broke in with, "So help mo God, Major, tbo devil stood behind her I" I said, in utter amazement; what on earth do you mean?" " I moan what I say ; the devil was standing behind her all the time. His voice fell almost to a whisper, and he looked back toward the house, which was still in Bight. I could have no doubt who he meant by her, but I was so taken abaok, tbat what to go on saying to the man I knew not. It was obvious >c was under some strange mental delusion. We walked on, |Preaently he spoke again, as if to himself—" Behind her by tho mantle piece,"—" behind her chair,"—" that fear ful thing . face,"—those fiendish eyes—my Ood 1"

As I said before, I am not superstitious, but it was neither quite comfortable nor canny hearing the queer exclamations under the peculiar circumstances; iv a moon light walk, ;dark, umbrageoiiß cavernous cliffs, and the melancholy murmuring sea.

As far as my memory serves; wo were still a little way from the lodge gate, when A — stopped again an instant, and said, "Listen! What's that!" I could hear ndhing, but in a few seconds come the distinct clatter of a galloping horse along the diive. " Something has happened to her," whispered A- , laying a chill hand oa mine. " Anything the matter ?' I sk.uted to tho Jgroom who paasod us oh the horse. Th« man called out aomothing which we were not able to catcb, nnd gal loped on, We could see him pull up at the gate, and a woman come.out and open it; but by tho [time wo reached (her, horse and rider were out of sight. She was stand ing stating down the road (after them, and I asked her if anything was wrong. " Je*u save us, Sur?" she exclaimed, crosilng her*elf, " the man says meclaay iB dead she has taken her life 1" " Dead I taken her life Twos my ejaculation. "Why, we've only ju.-t left tho house." Here was indeed a climax to my bewilderment I But what an announcement I It was uticr!y unable to realiso it—it seomed too mons trous. My flr.t impulse was to run back at onoe to tbe hall and ate if we ceuld be any use; but on iccond thoughts it seemed better not. Then ns he hurried out of the park through the tall, massive ga'eway, I heard my companion mutter, evidently still possessed with his hallucination, " Did she see it too ?"

About half-way;to Moynetown we met our car coming out to fetch us, and mounted it, "I Been M 's man ..din' by jist now like smoke," was the remark of our whilom taciturn ja.vle; "There's soraethin' up I belave. They tells quare tales o that ho ess an' the ould chapel, an' lights seen about it o' nights, an' the lights seen about it o' nights, an' the sthrange noises thereabout. Ocb, thin, sure an' the c's bad luck in that houso, Sur I" I was too stupified to stop the fellow's gab bio till his wards were, out, and they have [often recurred to my mind since. When we got back to (our inn, tho ill news was already in the air. I sent for the man in the town and despatched an urgent me«s»ge to him intimatiug what he heard, and begging him to go out to the Hall Immediately. Word was brought back that the doctor had already been seDt for, and gone.'* Thi« done, I felt I felt I hardly dared ask fur ther questions of anyeae just than. Yet the whole thing seemed like a horrid dream, hardly ciedible. We two sat up late into the night in thejlhtle inn pari- ur —I absorbed in the occurrence of this eventful-evening, and in painful antici pation of hearing more;, A speaking not a word, but glowering into tho fire. Next morning we were to make an early start, Before the fall in bugle sounded the little bustling landlady had communicated to us all Berts of rumours concerning the terrible event that had taken place the night btfore. Clearly the tragic story was all over the town by this time, but tha only coherent upshot of the matter we could extract was that the poor lady down at the Hall haa gone up to her bedroom imme diately after dinner, and then and there taken poißon—that they found her stretched on the door quite dead, the face tureed to one side as if averted from something, and with an awful, fearsome look upon

it. It may be imagined I was anything bnt sorry when I and: my men mounted tbe steep hill overlooking Moynetown, on tho road to our next bdlets, with our back tcrned upon tbe scene of this ghastly and mysterious business. I never heard of the M family again nor did I ever revisit Moynetown. I be lieve there was an inquest and a verdict of temporary insanity. A few months after ward I ohanced to see something in a local newspaper about Innishderry HaU being to let; and " that dreadful affair down in county " was talked of for a while in Dublin in a certain circle of society. As f or a ,he too passed out of my obser vation very soon after, as he applied for leave and got an exohango. ' He never told me more than what I have told the reader and never again spoke to me on the subject. I suppose some would maintain that A-r—- was gifted with what in Scotland is called " second Bight,'1 Be that ai it may, the mystery of how or why " the devil stood behind" that singularly beautiful and fascinating woman—an acquaintance of an evening only—will, I BUBpeer, never bo cleared up.—" Blackwood's Magazine."

Cures for Cold.

Everyone is subject to take what is known as a " bad cold," and in Summer teasons the " cold " is almost as prevalent as in Winter, when it arises irom exposure, because, in Summer, persons are imprudent enough, when perspiring, to sit in a draught tojcool themselves. For the information of the community wo give two remedies for a bad cold, as formulated in a book by D. W. Turner, recently published in Eng land, which has received the endorsement of the most eminent practitioners, including such men as Sir James Paget and William Jenner. The first remedy is riven as follows:

As soon as the cold has made its preseace felt, or, at all events, the same night, take a moderate doge of any opiate you have at hand, such as from twenty to twent.-five drops of laudanum, or one-quarter of a grain of morphia—the dose being made stronger or weaker according as you are in the habit ot taking much or little wine at your meals. The opiato should be put into a tumbler of water, and you should spend an hour or an hour and a half in drinking it, sipping it as if it were wine and as if you liked it. Then, if you go to bed early, wrap yourself up pretty warm in bed, and avoid go-ting up or going out during the night, you will probably wake in tbe morn ing rid oi your troublesome annoyance. The second remedy is called the "dty cure." It consists in abstaining from liquids cf any kind for two or three days, drinking only a t.blespoonful cf milk for breakfast and wineglassful of water for dinner—though, it was as erted that the cold will disappear quicker if even these .sl'ght indigencies are refrained from, The remedies are simple, and it will cos but little to tty them,

r Si_s William Gcll in his "Clinical Observa. tions on Medicine in Modern Times," enunciates the following pithy [aphorism :-" I havo often had occasion to remark, how little we con estimate the reparative powers, however alls we may be to discover disease—this Is, per haps, never more striking than in somo chrome affections—organic strength lies nowhere but in the living oifelo of nutrition an _ function." The lungs being organs readily liable to this lesion, they require healthful surroundings and highnntrition. When attacked byloss of function, contracted breathing power, with a cough and tenacious expectoration.-Aickin's Syrup ot Euca lyptus, with Hypophospblte of Lime and Quinine, should bo taken thrice -daily.
