Antoaia, what do jroa think fherr Mr. Wayland had jnst come home from btuiness, and met bis aunt In the snng little drawing-room, where the red plash curtains hong in such virid folds, and the flre jewel. glowed in the twilight like a Somewhere in the room there paphne-tree In fall blossom. You coald smetl its subtle sweetness, even though you ooald not detect its whereabonts by i of the eye t and a bright-plomed bird whis- tled softly In tbe half-light, as if it were wlil- oquizirtg to itself. Bufus Wayland had not seen the old a Always on hand wno had brought him Up for a year—a year Always on hand whioh, to him, had been full if eventful in- terest, for within its bright oyole of months he had wooed and won the wife who was to him the sweetest oreatnre in all tbe world. And now, that Aunt Antonio bad returned from the South, he had looked forward to ber visit with a sense of happy exultation. \ She will take a mother's place to my motherless Zoe,\ he thought; \ and she cannot help admiring tbe dear little thing.' And so be had hurried home from his business upon this particular evening, to feast his ears on Annt Antonia's tribute of delight and homage to Zoe's oharms. Aunt Antonia was a tell, rather •tiff, el- derly lady, in blaok silk, with compact little bunohes of gray curls on either side of her face, gold spectacles, and a month wbioh seemed to screw itself together, instead of dosing like other people's lips. Bhe allowed herself to be kissed affection- ately by her nepbew, and then straightened oat her oep-ribbons with a aigh. 11 1 think, Enfus,\ said she, sepulobrally, that you h»Te married a ohild J\ \ Well, she it young,\ admitted the hus- band, laughing. \Bntahe is snob a dar- ting I\ She oan't be twenty,\ said Annt An- tonia. \Jnst eighteen,\ said Bnfns. \ And BO uninformed]]\ added the old lady, who had a way of heaving np deep sighs from the lower regions of her lungs at the end of every sentenoe, which was, to say the least of it, depressing. Ton mean—\ \No system I\ said Aunt Antonia. \No definite aim in life ! No logic I\ \ But,\ pleaded Bufas Wayland, does she want of system, and logic, and all that sort of thing ?\ \Sitting on the rag reading fairy-tales,\ said Annt Antonia, \like a baby I And then confessing out and out, to me, without so muoh as a bluah of shame, • that she has never read Mil ton's ' Paradise Regained/ and is quite ignora ~ -year-oia ohild i i suoh flagrant ignorance I And when I asked her about the aid societies and obarl- kble olubs in the neighborhood, she couldn't ive me a single item of information, but kissed me, and wanted mo to eat ohooolato- creams out of a pink-satin box I\ Mr. Wayland laughed. \ That is just like Eos,\ he said. And the next instant, Zo» herself cam* into the room—a beautiful young oreatnre, with golden hair, bound careleenly with blue fllots of ribbon, (in a way whioh Aunt Antonia soorstly prononuoed \ arasy faah- \) a pale-bluo silk droas and the pret- L of high-heeled French allppera. Tea ia ready, Bnfu*,\ aho aaid; \and remade a real Maryland srlkbtti for Aunt Antonia.\ Oould there be anything prettier er moos lovable—the youag husband aaked hlmwlf —than this gold-tressed fairy who fill Ud kboat the room, seeming to oreato a sweet atmosphere wherever she went—thi* dimpled little plaything who kuelt on the fug, playing with the oat, and never at- tempted to follow tfae thread of the oouvt*. tation, while Aunt Antonia and h«r n«ph«w dlsouftsod tbe Oonoord Sob col of Philosophy »ud oritloiaad the Uat votam* at Maaya and the latent pooin f Beoaniwt, yon know, I'm act »tetwry,\ oonf«sa«d Zoe, aa ahe drew • rtwabnd a4>ou» ot to attrnot tho uitioa of pvaay, auJ laughed a peal of awe«4, girlish laughter, when the roanbtid waa oaptam! at UH.

And when yon have once tasted the pleasures of these fan- prsving occupations—\ \ Oh, yea, I know 1\ said Zoe. \ And 1 will try my beat to do u yon wish, Bufus.'' But there was the shadow of new gravity on that infantine face, a pensive intonation of the voioe. whioh Bufus Wayland had never heard before. Annt Antonia went to the book store, and ordered home huge editions of the olassics. She began a daily oourse of reading with her nephew's wife ? she Initiated her into the mysteries of olubs, societies, sympod- 7 ° urns, until tbs day became all too short for ] her engagements.

The President and Mrs. Washing- ton sat opposite each other in the middle of the table. This custom has always been g \ Your wife ia improving,\ she said, to Bufus. \ I really think she is awakening to a sense of the responsibilities of a woman in tbe nineteenth century at last.\ And Bufus kissed the peach-like, dimpled •heek, and congratulated Zoe on her mental tdvanoe. But somehow the home was not so sweet ad oozy. An Impalpable something was lisdng—the influence which had followed Zoe's light footsteps all through the tbe glass of flowers here, the looped curtains there, tbe sheet* of mnslo on the piano, the bird-cage hung In tbe sunshine, the delioate dish prepared by Zoe's own fingers, the whipped oream, the luoent jeuy, the care- fully cut-up fruit*-aU the pretty, quaint ievicee which bad descended to this young housekeeper through a long line of Mary. They had been rerj pleasant.

Herself strong as in iron machine, it had never occurred to her that all naturae were not oast in the same tnduring mould. Bat the old family doctor ooked grave, and shook his gray head. \She has overdone herself,\ he said; 1 the results may be serious. Put away her books; don't so muoh as speak to her about laBsics or societies.\ And Aunt Antonio had never, In the oourse of her whole life, felt suoh a pang as when the doctor whispered hil impression that little Zoe must, probably, drift away from them into the great unknown world, at the autumn orept on. \But there is nothing the natter witb her I\ pleaded she, with a mist gathering over the ovals of her glasses. \ That is precisely the sort of oase that we physlolans find most difficult to deal with,\ said Doctor Dean. And one day ton put her soft, transpar- ent little hand out upon that of her hus- keep to quiet.

Smnethlnf About the Poaaeaaora ot drum* Fmtaoea Made on the Pacific Coast. The biggest fortunes on the Pacific coast ire those of the Oentral Pacific Bailroad magnates, and Ex-Governor Stanford is the richest of the group. His wealth is estima- ted at #75,000,000; that is, his yearly in- oome is equal to the interest on suoh a capi- tal, and his property is constantly increasing in value. He owns more than f 5,000,000 alone in San Franoisoo in real estate, t nothing of his farms, vineyards, breeding ranches, etc. The ex-Governor has bat ont child, Leland, Jr., a ltd oj about fifteen, The richest widow on the Pacific ooast, or in the country for that matter, with the pos- sible exception of Mrs. Cornelia Stewart, is Mrs, Mark Hopkins, widow of one of the Oentral Paolflo syndicate. Her husband's estate proved np to 123,000,000, and the only two men in California who could justify on the widow's bond ai Standford aud Charles Crocker, two of her husband's business assooiates. They were compelled to justify ia twice the amount oi tbe estate and eaoh swore that he was worth 948,000,000. Mrs. Hopkins I s an elderly woman, They had no children, but had adopted a son, whom Mrs. Hopkins had just married to a Miss Orittonden, a protege of hera, providing her with tbe dot of a prin- cess. There are other he: re to the estate, but the s&q»ted son, Tim, will get the butt of it. The ricbeit yortog and unmarried woman l the Paoiflo coast is Misi Jennie Flood, lly daughter of tbe bonanza king. The riohest prospective heiress in California is Miss Hattie Crocket, the only daughter of Charles Crooker, another of the raihoad syndicate. She, also, is a chiming girl, and, like Miss Flood, is rather plain in ap- pearance. Bhe is noted for her charities and domestic virtues. The whole value of Uncle Billy O'Brien's estate WM a little over #9,000,000. ' After the legacies were paid the residue i s turned over to Mr. O'Brien's two sisters, Hn. Ooleman and Mm. Josepk HoDonougb. The two ladies inherited $8,- 600,000 each.— San Frvmottoo Letter in iht Olodo-Btmoorat.
