" Your lost day » Dear , dear 1 Mustyou go Jo-day, Harvey 1" said Mrs. Seely,looking across the broakf ostitablo at hereon with affectionate concern.

And hor daughters , Kitty and Margery,echoed her words.

" Couldn 't you have got off for anoth-er week ?" said his father , breaking hishot roll carefully, "now that you 're apartner , though—"

" Now that I'm a partner, it's hardwork getting off,'' responded Harv eySeely ; "it was all I could do; in fact— "

He paused suddenl y."What was all you could dol" en-

quired Kitty." Well," said Harvey, laying down his

knife and fork , with a beaming smil e,'¦hero goes ! Here 's tho news I've boonsaving up for you till tho Inst , from anatural modesty. It was all I could doto get things arranged so that I could goon my wedding trip, a month henco. 1am going to be married. "

Kilty's spoon fell iuto her saucer witha clatter , and Mr. Seely dropped his rollhastily.

•• Marrie o, i sam iiiargery oreatuiu sBiy.Mrs. Seely alone remained calm.She rolled up her napkin and put it in

its ring, and looked at her son, throughher gold-rimmed glasses composedly.

• She felt, however, that this was an im-portant crisis.

When Harvey—their only son—had ,with commendable inde pendenc e, left hispleasant homo to "get a start "* in thoneighboring city thoy had all expectedgreat things for bun.

He would be rap idly successful ; hewould distinguish himself in the prof es-sion he had chosen and amass a fortun e;and ho would woo and win some sweetyoung girl, with a long row of ancesto rs—the Seelys, being themselves a goodold family, were great respecters of bluebiood—a host of accomp lishment? , and aheavy dowry. Their hopes had seemedlikely to be fulfilled. Har vey had provedhimself possessed of remarkable businessqualit ies ; he had risen quickl y, and hadrecentl y exceeded their wildest ambitionsby being made a junior partner of thefirm.

All that now remained to be .desiredwas his safe conquest of the beautiful andaristocr atic young person of their dreams ,with her many talents and her substantial inheritance.

It woo not to be wondered at, therefore ,thai the girls were trembling with eager-ness ; that Mr. Se«ly fumbled with hiswatch-chai n in nervous suspense , andthat Mrs. Seely opened hei lips twice be-fore she found strength to propound tha iall importan t questio n :

" "Who is shet "" She is a Miss Dora Berdan. at pres-

ent," said Harvey smilingly., '- Berdan t" Mrs. Seely repea ted , and

raised hor brows enquiringly. "I don 'tthink I have heard of the family. '

"Not at all likely," Havvoy rejoined."They are quiet people."

" Berdan I" Mrs. Seely repeated mus-ingly. " No ; I have not beard of them.Where do thoy live?"

" In Weyroau street," responded Har-vey.

Mrs. Seely fell back in hor chair witha little gasp; hor husband turned a dis-mayed face upon his son , and Kitty andMargery gave little screams.

Woymnn street ! It was miles from thoregions of aristocracy ; it was peop ledwith working-g irls, with Beamstosses, andwi th small shop-keepers; with ntroot-vundcrs , and old apple-women , for all thoSeelys know.

" Not Woymon street Harvey V saidhis father appoaliug ly. _

. " Certainl y— -Woyman street ," Harveyropoatod.

"But sho is not—she cann ot be ofgood family, living in Woyman alroot ?"said Mrs. Seely anxiousl y.

" The family is quite respectable ," horson responded quietly. "Dora 's motheris a widow. Shu sows for a laoo coodshouse, and Cora has been assistant book-keeper in our establishment ; that is howI mot hor. "

Mrs. Seely groaned."A book-keeper—a Bootriatr osa t" eho

ejaculated. " Oh , Harvey, you could nothave dono worse I "

" A pennil ess girl f" said his fathersolemnly ; " and after all wo have hopedfor you I No i it could not bo wor se."

" A common working girlj " said Kittyin a choking* voice i "and everybody willknow it I Oh , Harvey, it couldn 't boworso. "

Tho youn g man looked from ono toanotor in iiatoniuued, hurt, Mid half con-temptuous silence.

Margery turned to him, with the dis-may in hor face.

" Peruana ," she naid , hopefully ; "per-haps thoro is something to make up tPerhaps she in a wonderful beauty, or agreat genius , or t 'oniothii ig ?"

Harvey gavo hor a grateful umilo"," I think hor piotty, of course ," ho said ;

"hut I Huppo' in that 'll booau uo I'm fondof hor, I don 't think sho would bo calleda boanty. And an for genius—uho 'ii veryclover at accounts i bat oho docun 't nlngor paint, or anything of that sort. She'snovor had tho time or money for audi ,things , poor girl I"

But Margery had turned away with nnimpatient gesture. i

" There is nothing, then ,'1 uho naid , de-spairing ly i "no i it couldn 't bo worse. "

Harvey roue from bin neat , will) an onergy which net the boll in the cantortinirllnrr.

"Thiu in absurd 1" he mild indignantly."It in more than absurd i it in unjust andnarrow-minded. How Hoiiuib lo—presum-ably iii-nniblo people ," Harve y correctedrather bitterl y, "unit nay, in regard to aperson they have never noun , Hi nt it couldnot ho woiue , in pant my compr ehension. "

" Wu will not talk of it/' -said Mr *.Sonly, holding tip a restraining hand."Diiitiiiiibioii will not mend umttmu. Ari dyou are to bo married next n.onth t"

Tho Seoly's wore in a otate of subduedexcitement.

Harvey's wedding tour was completed!and thoy had received a telegram that af-ternoon to tho effect that he would be"on hand" to night with bis now wifo.

Tho dining -room table was set for din-ner ; and Mrs. Seely wandered from onoend of it to the other nervously.

Her husband sat under tho chandelierwith his evening paper , but ho was notreading it; Kitty and Margery flatteredabout uneasily, watching ..through thowindow for the return of the carriagefrom tho station .

"I hope ," said Margery with a nervousattempt at cheerful ness, "that sho will bebarely decent—presentable . Think o!the people who will call I I hope shewon't bo worse than Wre prepared tosee hor. "

" She couldn 't bo, '- said Mrs. Seely dis-mally.

There was a roll of wheels, and thetwinkle of tho carriag e-lamp at the door ,end the boll rang sharp ly.

Kitty and Margery clasped hands insympathetic agitation ; Mr. Seely droppe dhis paper and rose ; and Mrs. Seely ad-vance d toward the hall door with dignity.

It opened wide before she could rearmit, and Harvey entered , his face suffusedwith genial blissful smiles.

" This is my wife," ho said pro udly;"my mother , Dora -, my father, my sisters ,Kitty and Margery. "

And with o. caressin g touch, he tookher by tho hand , and led her forwardamong them.

What !Mr. Seely gazed at the apparition with

startling eyes ; Mrs . Seely dropped thehand she had started to hold out , withher face growing ash ; and Kitty andMargery gasped.

For what they saw was a woman ofapparently forty years , with a face pow-dered and painted in the most unblush-ing manner, with thin gray hair crimpedover a wrinkled forehead in a sickeningaffectation of youtb fulness and with adiminutive gaily-trimmed bonnet perohedthereon, with an affected , mincing gait,and a simpering smile.

"This is my wife." Harvey repeated ;"have you no welcome for her '"

The bride tittered ." Mebbe she thinks I ain 't good enough

lor 'urn , my dear '!" sho observed tartly."Impossible , my pot,"Harvey respond-

ed, and patted her falsely blooming cheekaffectionately ; "besides , if you were buta shadow—a caricature of your ownbeautiful self, thoy would not have beensurprised. They were prepared for theworst. "

Ho looked at his horrified relativesmeaning ly.

The tru th of his words flashed overthem.

Harvey watched them with an undis-turbed smile—his father , turning awayat last, and rubbing his forehead witbhis handker chief weakl y; Mrs. Seely,gazing at hor daug hter-in-law with adreadful fascination , and tho girls, sink-into chair? in dismayed silence.

" Well , mother," said Harvey lightly,"of conrso a now addition to tho familyis an object of interest ; but dou 't forgotthat I havo an appetite , and getting mar-ried has rather improved it. Talio offyour bonnet, my dear. Hero, Kitt y."

Kitty came forward with a set face andtightlj-closed lips, to .receive tho marvel-ous combi nation of beads and silk flowersheld out to hor with a d isgusting air ofsprightlinoss She wax afraid to trustherself to speak.

Poor Mrs. Seely, sick at heart , hadmade her way to tho boll and ran g it, anddinner came down presentl y.

"Turtle soup!" tho brido observed ,looking round tho table with a girlishsmile ; "ain 't nothing I admiro bo I Justpass that celery, J alhoi-in -law. Delic-ious ! ain 't it. darling. "

From tho Trib one of tho SCtb.Hundreds of people Tisited Hivorsido

P ark yesterday to look at the spot whichis to become known in the future oh thoburial . place of General Grant -Thevisitors were from tho countr y, as wallas the city. - People from the lower partof New-York and the East Sido who hadnever visited the heighborhoocLbefore wesurprised to find there was a park , ofsack extent and beauty in the city. Oneman said he had not seen the place sincetwenty-five years ago, ' when Blooming-dale road was tho favoriio drive of New-Yorkers , and he could not recognize, thesurroundings so changed and improvedwere they. An old man and hia wifespent the day abont the place inspectingevery feature of it with growing sur priseat each revelation. "Well, " exclaimedthe husband , "I've lived in New-Yorkseventy years, and I never knew therewas a Riverside Park till I heard thatf~rA rtAral ftrnnr. war to ha J ininarl . hart *So I says to my wife we'll go np and seeit, audit's worth the' trouble , too."' Thirty-five men were placed at workby the Park Department on the vault inthe morning. They made rapid progressand by noon the excavation bad nearlyreached the joqui sit depth. Their workwas interrupted in the afternoon by oneof the heavy thunder storms that visitthe Hudson Biver Valley in summer.The morning had been sultry, and short-ly after noon threatening masses of-cloudrolled up from the 'west over the rookyheights of the Palisades on tho Jerseyshore. The clonds grow dense andblack , but it waa 3 o'clock before thecrowd of people gathered around theworkmen observed the indication of anunus ual storm. All breezes from theriver suddenly ceased ond a: dense massof vapor appeared to be coming down thoHudson between tho high bonks to joinforces with the storm from the west.The sky became as dark as night , andeven tho workmen concluded to seekshelter as a tornado swept over thepromintory formed by the high cliff atthe Claremont. Men and women rushedfor the hotel and the nearest places ofshelter, and the sheds around the hotelwere quickly filled by the carringes andvehicles on the drives.

The clouds appeared to meet and set-' tie down on the cliff and for half an honr

the storm raged abont tho northern endof Riverside Park. The drivin g rain andvapor shot out the river from view.Water fell in torrents , and seemed to bedriven in sheets from all directions. AIrAAn flanl* nf liirhfruniy illnTninft fat ? ttiAscene for an instant and then the windthrew itself upon the hotel bo that thepeople crowded in it began to fear thatit might be carried away. Doors andwindows were forced open and torrentsof' rain poured int6 the ' building. Aflash of lightning more vivid than thefirst rang the telephone in the vestibuleand flashed around the room. Those attho_ south side of the building saw a.great ball of firo for on inetoxt in the airand a crash followed that startled overyono. The bolt " had struck an. immenseoak not mora than fifty "yar do from thebuilding and only a short diolanco fromtho excavation,

Tho tree fell with another crash start-ling the horses and men who had takenrefuge in tho/ahed near tho Oloremont.As tho rumbling of thunder was dyingaway another flash nearly iuj dazzlingwas followed by a deop 'tbundor clap liketho discharge of a cannon. For tenminutes mora a constant succession ofelectric flashes played through the at-mosphere , which vibrated an thoug h awhole park of artillery * wss . iu action.As tho thunder ceased tho clouds rolledaway over Long Island Sound, ,and in afew minutes more tho aan was againshinin g brightly and a fresh cool currentof nir swept over tho park- ' Tho troothat wan first struck was rnlnod. Thowind uniting with the lightin g had tornit np by tho roots. It won ono 'of thelargest oaks in the grove. Several othertrees had Buffered olightly, and a portionof tho rooting had boon tarn from thoshod and lodged ia neighbor ing tfooa.A groat quantity ot rain fell bat wasrapidly absorbed in tho sandy soil.

, What many people , especially children ,call thirst , is only a sense of dryness inthe throat. This uncomfortabl e sensationis'canspd £iy the general habi t of breath-ing through the month. Tho air takesinto tho longs dries tho month , .tongueand upper part of tho throat. To drinkfor the pnrposo of relieving the mouthmade firy by being open is frequently tooverload the 1 stomach with fluids whichare not noososary, and whiob consequent-ly are detrimental to digestion. It is po-ouliorly injurious also, for it washes intothe stomach all the foul solids which, inthe form of,dust , find their way into themouth aiid throat Persona who ore.compelled , to cool -and moisten their ,palate s should first rinse tho month witha- sip or two of water. H afterward theyfeel that thoy most drink ' thoy shouldinbibo by single sips. By this methodthey would bo as fully satisfied with agill of water as with a pint swallowedhastily.

Ice water is the great American vice,and probabl y kills more persons thanrum. That it is cooling to tho entiresystem cannot bo denied ; but suddenpnan &OB ox pnysicai xemperatare tromwarmth to coolness are always detrimen-tal to health . .Actual thirst is as quicklysatisfied with hot water as with cold.When only iced water is desired, theprobability is that the person drin king ithas eaten something which has irritatedthe stomach.' CoffoD is not ' a good summer drink.Its Etiraulnting property is beneScial topersons with a sense o! physical debility ;but coffee orreatB , temporarily, oil naturalprocesses of waste , where in hot weatherthere should be allowed free play. Teais a for better drink. . It is stimulating,and therefore- very injurio tit when takenin large quiwatitioo ; but . over etimulationwith its implied necessity of in some wayrnolang good the physical force which itenables to develop too rapidly, ore its'only bad effects.' .

Killing the Hah. .' liost week we pabliahedfrom tho Tren-ton pi. J) Gazette, an ecconnt of a "Com-motion among the Fishes," in the Assan-pluk Creek, above the dam between Greenand Montgomery streets , in that . city.We now toko tho following from theFishing Gazette, of New-York, let inat. s¦ Directly opposite the track s of .tho Hud-

eon Biver Bailroad , nearly a milo southof Yonkcrs, N. Y., i? located the ice pondof Mr. John Clark. Some time since thispond was stocked with eels ond variouskinds of fish, which hove boon allowed tooconmulato undistur bed until Mondaymorning last, when they .commenced todie in largo numbers. The fish wouldcome to the surface , gasp once or twiceand tarn over on their backs and die.Several tons of dead fish , amon g whichwas a largo number of eels have beentoken from the pond and buried. It isthought that some person hod depositeda large quantity of poison in the waterof tho pond. . ' . . ' .

A remarkable mortality existed amongtho porch in Lake Hondota , (Wia) lastjnmmer , large quantities ot dead fishbeing washed upon its shores , which worebnriod by tho authorities ; tho fish wereot good color, fat and to all appearancesperfectly sound. - Prof. S. A. Forbo a, ottho Illinois State College, was emp loyedby United States Fish CommissionerBaird to investigate the- mat ter , and as-oertain , if possible, tho cause ot tho mor-tality. . Tho Professor has just made hisreport, which shows that it was duo to asmall germ , which ' attacked tho liver andkidneys , and formed aboossoo which des-troyed tho colls of those organs. Thisgerm belongs to tho group which pro-duces hog cholera," chicken cholera , smallpox and kindred diseases. It may bemat tuo mortality ol tuo ttoli in tho Clarkpond is duo to a similar caaso and not topoisoning. An investigation would nodoubt determine tho facto.
