AN AUSTRALIAN 1DYLL.

A. l>. .!000.

It was a beautiful sunnuoi—Australia!

suiiiiner—eveuing, in tlic yonv «>f gr.ic

:i,000. Hoautiful I moan in the tulles

possible «ense of the word, In a wa

which we can hardly riream'of just now

For, as all who aic gifted with .1 pi o

sense of perspective know it N usual ii

looking forwaid into the distant futur

to take it for granted that, like wine

everything goes on itnpinving with age

Therefore there can be no doubt, that

thousand years hence man will be

nobler creature in every way,and woniat

will be gloriously developed, both as t<

her physique and mentality. Tho

climate even will have obeyed this uni

versal law, and will have become flnei

aud more salubrious than It even is a

present. There will b<» all kinds of beau

tiful birds and flowers and insects whicl

are at present unknown—all nature, i

fact, having developed in harmonious,

proportion and in true keeping with the

everlasting laws of art. Instead of

boards, there will be marble pavements

and instead of plaster walls there wil

be curiously-patterned tiles of soft ant

glowing tint*. The modern female fash-

ion of disfiguring the form by corsets

and tight shoes and dress improvers and

"hoc, netins ovine,"' will have entirely dis-

appeared, and instead our womankind

will go about in graceful Mowing gar-

ments of soft texture, such ;i> our ances-

tor.-, the <;reeks, wore ye.ii>-> and years

ago. There will be no more mowing, or

housekeeping, or drudgery of a domes-

tic character to absorb the time and ruin

the temper of womankind. Hence the

set vant question will be entirely set at

rest and there will be no more need to

elaborate schemes for importing domes-

tic help by the shipload. All that the

ladies will have to do will simply bo to

pose in those ehnrming attitude-- *-o dear

to the heart of the artist, and to trail

around those long scarfs tilled wirh the

choicest flowers.

All thi=, -ind more, I saw the other

light after a visit to the art society's ex-

ilbition, but fortunately by a special

liapen-ation, I wa- unable, not merely

o zoo, but to hear al-50. The lady, a

giaceful creature enough, moved with

:in oa--y gliding action, ftom out of her

io!-e in the picture, jind exclaimed in

weet and wearied tone-, " Oh, dear, I

am >-o tired ol standing here all this

imo." And then she carefully emptied

he flowers out of her scarf and neatly

oldod it up in a form of a cushion,

A Inch she placed on the edge of the

ountj.in. After taking these leisurely

precautions she gently sat down on the

olded «tarf. M.irble, you see, is hard

md chilly, and does not at any time of

be year allot d a comfortable- seat, for

.•old has a bad habit of striking in, a

labit which it apparently retained, even

n the year 3000. I was rather amu«ed

t these actions, but what was s-he to do,

)oor lady. There were no chairs for her

o sit on, since they had long been abol-

hed as cumbrous and inelegant pieces

f furniture. Then noticing me for the

irst tinm, as I stood at the edge of the

narble terrace, she addressed me in me-

odious tones. " [ see v ou are a stran-

ger here. Have you traveled farv Al-

ow me to ofter you some little mental re-

he whole «cene to me. Listen, and 1

,\ill tell you. It \va« tho-most dis.igree-

blc i»art of my existence, this passage

hrough the frame. When I first awoke

o the. fact that I rcall> had a separate

ndividualiry of my own, I found my-

<'lt inclosed in .1 still Inline, without

he power of motion. It was very uio-

jotonoUb, being compelled to remain al-

.vaj's in the *-ame attitude. However,

here were hundreds of other people

round me in the same position,so at 1 -m—t I

ot used to it. lUit it was mo-t objoetion-

ble to be -tared at all il.iy by ciowds ol

lOople, .md to lie.u linle lemaiUs ni'de

bout one's pei&ou.il appeal,nice, without

eing able to auswi'i. This was the wotst

iiflictitui winch I had to be.11 dining my

lovlti.ite. I'coplc would wonder how

nuch I vxus woitli, -ind tfien thej would

k at their cal-ilogm-s, ,md express then

ntenrion of Inducing pa to buv i>ie. It

vas very heartless ot them, and they

eemed to have no regard whatever for

ny feelingb. This, howevei, was only

luring the day time, when the vi-itoi--

ame, for at night we were lieed fiom

tur bondage, and used to have lots of

un amongst ourselves.

"There wasagrandconvcrsa/.;oiie thcte

me night and the room wus I'I led with

X'oplc,all dressed in Mich a funny u.iy.

t was frightfully hot, and some of my

ami^h \MI« almost itidtcd, ^o that my

omplexion was (julti* ruined I don't

juite know why the people came to this

onversa'/ione. as they called it, for I hey

lid not seem to do anything but talk to

ach other, and the room was M) crowded

hat they could not even walk about,

Somebody sang a song or two, winch 110

ne could possibly hear, but that w.is :il-

md everyone who came near me seemed

0 be awfully tiled.

u Uut after the visitor were gone and

he gas turned down, it was much plea-s-

utct. lu\ v/ii held oil) gun bont/ci's:i-

lono,and It wus a gie.it success. Then*

,vas .1 very nice old man who I'tvetl a lew

rallies away on my right, such a pleas-

,|it-s|i-i;iklpg, gallant old gentleman and

he took charge of thf. whole affair, for,

is he tiuly leinaiked, lie was the only

one capable of organising sucli n grand

eeiomonial. lie was a portrait, that Is ;i

picture of a man who i- still ahv<>, and

I suppo-=p he lnu- t have been put then

as a kiudof penance,tor 1 cannot imagine

any nilm willingly consenting to under-

go such an oideal. Of course tho-e peo-

ple who had already lived had a great

advantage over persons like myself, who

had only just, come into existence and

had had no opportunity ot gaining any

experience of the woild. So we looked

up to them and left theni^o manage the

whole allair. This old gentleman was a

statesman a leader of the people, n^ I

heard somebody call him, and his poi-

Irait was tiioh a faithful one that ho -uu

ietained .ill of his earthly thar.u teri«tics.

Having i.ovcr been alive myself, I was

perfectly at liberty to do :is I cho-e, and

was not bound by any conventional re-

strictions; but I am sure i don't know

why the old gentleman <-hould have

taken such a fancy to me. He wa« in tin*

habit of calling regularly on me everyday, as <oon as the people were gone,

e\en though he had to cio^s (ieorge

street in the lain to do so. The arti-t

who painted him hail forgotten to give

him an umbrella, so he u-od to borrow

one fiom a poi-on who wa- cms-ing the

street. He-eemed uM'd to hollowing;

but I noticed he always returned the

umbrella. Then he walked up the mar-

ble stairs, juite cheerful, -agely nod-

ding his wlnte head. <)i cour-e there

was no harm in my speaking to such a

very old gentleman a- tin-, and we used

to have long, friendly chal«. 1 asked the

respectable old lady who had a frame on

the same side, and she did not -co any

objection, I do not know why anyone

else «hould.

" However, there were plenty of other

gentlemen who used to call on me, for I

was quite tlw, fashion then, as I was the

only really attractive lady in the room.

There was a minx down at the other end

who calloTl l.er.-elf Lorelei, who was very

jealous of me, because I once said that it

w.i« not proper for gentlemen to call on

a lady who dies^ed in such an economi-

cal f.i-hion as .-he did. After that no one

would go near hei, and even the rich

•'iitleman who lived next door refused

to speak to lici any mote. Of course we

could not prevent her coming to the eon-

VCi sa/ione,but it was only the lowei cla--

of men, such :n the ploughman, and tru

prospccloi. and the sailoi out of the fore-

castle, who u onld have anvrhing to do

with her.

" We had quite a select little gathering

gbt out-elves, lor we all kept to-

;ether, and did not. associate with the

oninion held. There was Miss Spring,

who lived a frame or two away, a thor-

oughly respectable, but rather prim

young woman who had not very long

eft school, and there was anothei young

ady who userl to sit on the opposite -Ide

of me on a beautiful beai-skin ing, nnd

ilwaj.s kept her glove-on. She had no

name, .).s the person who painted her had

oigottcn to give hei one, so we cilk>d

ler No 'J. She was quite a fashionable

ady, and I always thought that It was

rather a shame to put her next to a rough

black-mith who was very coarse and who

wore terriblv. Theie were lots of other

adies in the room, and one, who must

iave been very fa-hionable, for she fiorc

hat that was much highei than anyone

lse's, always used to carry one of her

gloves in her hand. She did it, I think,

o show what a nice hand she bad got.

>he was very good company though,and

danced very well, only bur pa and ma,

who won1 both in the collection, were

Ciribly exclusive, and would not assuci-

Ue with any hut the very beat cl.i— of

rery handsome man, tin-clerg\ man, and

She unfolded it mechanically ; lici

An hour later Mrs. Lewis, coining

" What is it?" he asked.

could cherish such bitterness? Could

the man lying undc'i his roof be the one

who had brought them the only -oiiovv

" Maiy could toll you," she wont on,

in an instant after. "Sin: held his pic-

Miss Wcstfield stole quietly out of the

The physician seemed to reali/e that

reluctantly, he went in search of Mr-.

The message was dclivcied at once.

c.nne slowly and painfully, after much

There were several women standing in

The saloon i- a place with screenedwindows and closed doors, a placewhen- the tread of a woman's foot is hereverlasting shame. It i- a place wherefor childhood to entoi i> everlastingwreck-and ruin. It 1- a pl.uo where mcugather only, where they shut their eyesto tho woild outside. It is a place wherethe cool, keen, .sober, voracious, dc-ign-mg villain on one side of the bar sellsfor greed of gain his liquor to reelingbrains on tiio othei -id.; of the bar. Its a place th;;t no man can enter for an

hour and come out as -good as he wentn. It is a place that unfits a man to be

the hu-band of a. decent and virtuou-wife, that destroys a man for being aclear-brained, steady-nerved father foriis children. He goes there to his deg-

radation, piostitutcs the name of womauand blasphemes the name of Cod. Hedisgraces his mother, his wife, his -~isterand come- out demoralised, obscene, loss•-•in a man and less than a brute, be-

cause he has. not fulfilled the designs ofProvidence.

The Saigon does not do that some-times; it dois. it always. It cannot livewithout it. ' IV saloon does not do that' probably," or l may be." It must dot. The baloon n«_ver lives except byeeding on moral carr'-on—on dead souls

pledged them to total abstinence and forprohibition. Kdwards county at thatimc was a great drinking place, and its:asi? seemed almost a hopeless one. Buthis humble and faithful *oul saw a worko be done and ho did it, though he wasloubtle-s called crank and fanatic. Ten

behold ! It was a temperance armyhat said to the saloon " ( io ! " and go it

A friend of mine, the youngci mem-bers of whose family are given to usingsonsele-s phrases much alloctcd by theyouth of thL good old town, tells methat after many futile cllorts hesuccededin so forcibly bringing the absurdity ofthe habit to their attention that theyhave in a uuasuie diopped it.

With them every new thing was "aw-fully" sweet, every social gatheringthey attended "awfully" lolly. Oneevening he came home with a budget ofnews. A friend ot his had failed iu bus-iness. He spoke of the incident as "dc-liciously" sad.

He had iidd< n uptown m a c.u with anoted i.it outcui and wit, whom he de--eiibodas "horribly enter taining," andto cap the climax, lie spoke of some but-ter which had been set before him at acountry hotel as "divinely" rancid.

' I should think, pap:>," said Ins eldestdaughter, "lli.u you were out of yourhead."

"Not in- the least, my dear," lie saitipleasantly. "I'm merely trying to fol-low the fashion. I worked out "divine-1>" rancid, with a good deal of trouble.It sees "awfully sweet," aud goes onebetter. You'll find me in the swim here-after. And now," he added, "let mehelp you to a piece of this "deHerously''tough becf.'

A 1'rl^c Joke From tho " lrl«li '*'liiu*n.''

A Hitfh Churchman and a Scotch Pres-byterian had been at the same church.The former asked the latter if he did notlike the " introits."

" I don't know what an Mntroll' rs,"was the loply.

" Hut didn't you enjoy the anthem?*'said tlie Churchman.

" No, 1 didn't enjoy 11 at all."'" I am very sorry,'1 said the Church-

man, " because it was used In the eailychurch; in fact, it was originally sungby David."

"Ah !'\said the Scotchman, " then thatexplains the Scriptures. I can under-stand now why, if David was singiug ife,that Saul threw his javelin ut lilpi."

peer to make men plou-i and devout by
