A Love That Won. e Harry's Search for Wealth and the Trouble That Came of It. "I know, Janet, that I ought to comfort you, instead of being to blue myself, but I cannot get over it. If Harry had come to me and said good-bye it would not have been .so hard. But never to see him before he Trent away off to those horrid gold nunes. I think it was very unkind of him to leave his little sister. You may scoid me if you like, Janet, but I think you had better sit down and write him asc dding letter instead." "You forget, Nellie, that Harry did all in his power to see you before be left, and then when he found you could not be seen, he did the next best thing—left you a good-bye note, which in your disappointment you seem to have forgotten altogether." "Oh, yes; where is the note? Let liie see what he has to say in excuse for this sadden flight. "MY DEAR lITTLE SlSTER,- Have en- deavoured to see you, but failed in the at- tempt, so write this short farewell. You wonder at my sudden flight. Janet will explain it to you. I am but human and like the rest of mankind find money the root of all evil, and like plenty of the. root. The only evil in this case is that to obtain it I am compelled to tear myself Away from Janet and yourself. When 1 have gathered up a goodly quantity of the precious metal, which they say is lying there to be picked up, then Fii return, pay off the mortgage on the farm-build a new home- marry Janet, and then we'll be ha iPY to- gether. This is my dream. Forgive me if the parting gives you a painful twiijge. Be jgood to Janet. Your gold-seeking brother, 1J ARRY." Jauet was Harry Arnold's betrothed. For veare they had loved each other and would ,lltre been married ere this, bat Harry felt (that he wanted to begin married life free from edebi. He had a farm of 160 acres, which, like »3nany of oar Western farms, was mortgaged. Harry had been prospering these last few years and the debt was fast disappearing. Janet was teaching school in the little village of Thurston. Nellie, Harry's sister, was a stenographer in an cffice in Irocdale, a (town some miles distant. One morning she received a note from Janet asking her to come over as soon as possible, but not stating any reason. Fearing it was a case of sickness, Nellie went at once, only to hear from Janet a lips the story of her brother's sudden depar- ture to the goldfieldfil. His friend, Angus Mackey, had written him such encouraging reports that he was anxious to go and see if he, too, coald not gain a fortune in a moment. Harry determined to go, but what would Janet say P He drove to Thurston to see her and obtain her consent, bat this he could not do. She begged him to let well enough alone. She was not in a hurry to marry-would wait a year or two, if necessary, if he would be /governed by her wish and stay. Much as he loved Janet the visions of the LI Dorado awaiting him were too strong. So he bad gone and left her, promising that if it was not a success he would return immediately and look after the farm. This was the news Janet had for Nellie. Harry was so much to her. He had never done anything against her wishes before. lie said he did this because he loved ber, and what could she say-' Nellies grief wasj soon allayed while Janet's was still and deep. As the weary days went by w th now and then a letter from Harry, folks began to notice how thin and pale Janet was becom- ing. The deep circles around her eyes told of sleepless nights and a heavy heart. Harry was one of the successful ones. He found, indeed, an El Dorado, but with that be found be had all insatiable thirst for drink. He found gold, but he also found with it bad company and an outlet for all he }ouJd make. His letters at first were full of 'the happy future, of hi" speedy return, but gradually they became shorter-less of love in tb';m, and finally were only occasional mis- live written in bis better moments. Finally, Koru day, Janet received a letter, after a long inJerval of silence. It was one of confession, te Ilijg her how low he bad fallen, how utterly r.) worthy he was of her and releasing her from ;.all the promises she had made him. His good parents sank beneath the blow and burden, and within a few months both were laid away to rest. Janet and Nellie talked it over and resolved to save the farm for Harry's sake. They de- pided to rent it, take the income thus secured, and with part of their salaries pay off the' Test of the debt. AVhen it was theirs Janet resolved to try ind lift a greater mortgage. She would go And see if she could not tind Harry. She thought of him as he left her, not as the dis- sipated wretch he now was. Many are still living who remember the devastation caused by cholera as it swept over our own country like a tidal wave from ocean to ocan. North, East,, South, and West, ail felt the effects of its clammy hand. Even the little mining camp in the Sierras feit its ruthless grasp. Harry, worn out by dissipation, was not pre- i pared to withstand its ravages, and for days he was ill unto death. One day as the stage coach was coming, bringing with it the weekly mail. Harry, in a slow state of convalescence, was thinking of the farm and loved ones. Oh, how he longed for a sight of the one he had so cruelly wronged! The stage stopped, left as usual the poach of mail, and then there stepped from the stage a young lady clad in black. It was Janet. She had not heard of Harry's illness, but bent upon seeing him; had come all this way to do so. She felt if she could but see him she could persuade him to return. The boys were astonished to see a lady in the midst of them —young, too. Hal Winters, the roughest and yet the most courtly of them all. stepped forward to see whom she was seeking. She told him, and his first words startled her. "Oh, Hank is better. Guess St. Peter got left on his chips this time. But come along. I'll te!i him you ve come. Shall I tell him bis wife is here Janet hardly knnv what to reply. How- 7' ever, she said, No, tell hi .n Janet is here- but perhaps it would be better—I'd rather g¿ in nnannounceil. it He showed her the way to the rough '.miiier's cabin whtre lay al! that was left of Harry. The door was unlatched, so she gently pushed it open, and there in one corner of the room lay Harry. He was sleeping. Janet (proMsi the room, drew a tbree-It-gged stool to the bed aud sat down to wait his awakening. He rolled restlessly from side to side. At last he-aroused himself. He seemed to feel her presence as she sat there. He looked, rubbed his eyes and looked again. Could it be possible ? Then he called out: Oh, Janet, did you really come for me ? I dreamed you did, and it was so sweet to find you when I awoke." I Janet put his head upon her arm. softly and gently smoothed his forehead and told him he must not talk until he was stronger.! Then she would hear all be had to say. In the meantime she would take care of him. She was sore that under her treatment he would become strong soon—very soon she hoped. Days new by, and one morniug he said be thought he would like to talk to her that afternoon. Harry was man enough to confess all his wrong to Jane, and asked her forgiveness. We suppose she granted it—women generally do. However, in less than a year Harry was around tending to the old farm, while Janet superintended the house and Nellie is coming home to spend her summer vacation.— Ckicaao News, J G

An Aberavon alderman told a ratepayers' meeting the other night we have a lamplighter and a lampJoul er." Ben Tillett, a typical Labour leader, has an article in this week's Cycle Record on his "favourite amusement," which turns out to be cychng. "Not me, exclaimed an emphatic voter to a canvasser in Cardiff the other day," it took me three year to get my vote, and I ain't agoing to give it to anybody." "Will you vote for my father ?" asked a young lady in the Adamsdown Ward yesterday afternoon. Well, miss, replied the sturdy independent elec- tor, the priest hasn't told us yet how to vote." The Swansea Hospital ball is fixed to take place on Tuesday, January 10 Could not something be done to make this interesting and enjoyable social event of more benefit and profit to the hospital ?

It was one of the councillors now seeking re- election at Cardiff who, when he found himself elected three years ago, shouted The Lard kill 1 dead, Use in." Some say that the last two words are likely to be 1'66 out on the present occasion. Father Ignatius, who is still a deacon of the Church of Engtand, used to be allowed the use of some churches in the diocese of LlandaS down to about ten years ago. One of the last parishes in which he held a mission was, we balieve, Llantwit M-ijor. "An admirable decision" is the general verdict on the careful, comprehensive, and closely-woven judgment of the Cardiff Stipendiary Magistrate in he ca*e against the shebeen frequenter. The rate- payers' money Is now to be spent iu a teetotal attempt, to overthrow this excollent decision. Mr. Lleufer Thomas has finished his agricultural labour enquiry in Mer onethshire and Denbigh- shire, and will next take Anglesea.

We always though;, it had something to do with Ciriyle aud Sat tor Resartus, but we now find the society appealing for assistance to nid, mend, or curse the Butt-street bridge because, of its disgracefully dangerous character."

Three ofi-recurring adj ctives will indicate the main object, of the book, they are 'great,' co nerous,' and discreditable.' The word 'great' is applied to the Cardiff Musical Festival; the support of the South Wales Daily News to the fV^tival was • generous'; the tactics of the Western Mail were 'discreditable.' The reader, after closing the book, is tit no loss to understand the reasons that induced the Western Mail to oppo e the festival." Llantrithyd Park, near C >wbridge, is the ruined abode of tne o d baronets of the Aubrey family. The title has long been extinct. A story is told by the parishioners about one of the baronets wjio, it seems, was not very handsome. An immense sum of money had been spent by him in restoring the place, and, in I), vain moment, lie wrote on the dnor of the mansion, "What can't money d0 P" A day or two afterwards the baronst was enraged to fiat] written as an answer, "Not put a pretty face on John Aubrey."

Among other thing' he has translated the Coptic morning seivice illl" Eng ¡iSh, also the "Altus of Sr. Columba," ns weil as written accounts of Pat m.os» front a persomd visit, and of some of the Christian monuments of Athens. One or two Scottish subjects have been dealt with by him, including "The Burning of the Barns of Ayr." "Dr. Cynddylnn Jones failed to lella Pontypridd I man how many letters there are in the Bible from Genesis to Revelations," writes a correspondent. His querist replied that there were three and a hilf miilions in the English Bible, and three more in the Welsh Bible. This appeared in Tit-Bits, but," continues our correspondent, "Dr. Jones, Tit-Bits, and the Pontypridd man are wrong, for there cannot, bn more than twenty-six letters in the English Bible and twenty-seven in the Welsh BibK" Our coriespoudent, wants us to arbitrate. We referred the matter to our compositors, who, bning piece hands a;:d Union men, all voted for the millions. We are not? a celebrated linguist like" Motieu," so we givtJ the statement, with reserve, that the word sick is similar ill s0und and meaning in nil thy Indo-Europeaii languages. Take three languages and compare *ack, sach, and sac. There is ihe sibilant, tne vowel, and I II" k" sound in e icli. A correspondent in sending us enough mutter to publish a book, makes this explanation:—"At the Tower of Babel, during the confusion of tongues, men g t vexed with one another, be- cause they did not understand what, their neighbours Raid. Munj' Wtot away in a 1 age but, as no one was encumbered by landed and iiou-o property, all left m a day. As they spread over different countries each man took his suck, which contained all his worldiy possessions. So we have sack in every language." We cannot vouch for the accuracy of this until we hear from t'iofessor Rhys and Morion."

Iruth says:—" A speech delivered by the Roman Catholic bishop of Salford at a temperance meeting at Ashton-undor-Lyne was so sensible and moderate that it deserves notice. The Bishop suggested that, whilst strong beers should be taxed, the satoot light beers not above a certain minimum strength should be encouraged by being freed from duty. This is a doctrine that 1 have always preached. It is, indeed, a pity that more temperance reformers are not, as reasonable and as practical as the Bishop of Salford." A large measure of the success of the Golden Sunlight Ale may bo attributed to the fact that, it is brewed 011 these lines, and will compare favourably with the ordinary high- coloured, strong, head^ ales. It is brewed from inalt prepared from tho finest, Herefordshire bar- ley, and most delicately flavoured with hops, called Wor'-ters," but really grown in tne rich, fertile valleys of Herefordshire. Messrs. Watkins and Sou, of the Hereford Brewery, are the ouly hrowera of this famous Ale, and it is sold by over 200Agenta of the-North, South, EI\3t, and West of the British asles, South Wales Ofiice 94, St. Mary-streft.
