H iutfoud, Julv 21.—A good story about Hark Tania is just beginning to leak out hare. Some time ago he went pn a visit to Elmira, N. Y., leaving hie quaint house amoug the trees Ou Farmington avenue iu charge of his servants. Nearly two weeks ago au item was published iu the Hartford daily papers chronicling au ineffectual at­tempt to rob tbe humorist’s residence. The story was that a man presented himself at the door one day, saviug that he had been sent by the gas company to inspect the me­ter and pipes. The servant, who had uot the slightest suspicion, allowed the strunger to enter and do us he pleased. When he supposed no one was watching his move­ments, he hid himself awuy in a dark cor­ner, (of which there are many in the old chalet), and waited for darkness. Hut the girl, who had watched his movements, went and procured assistance, and had the in­truder “ bounced” without ceremony. When Mr. Clemons heard tho story iu Elmira he thought lie smelled a very large rat, and hastened to Hartford for the pur­pose of ferreting it out. His theory was that one of the servant girls must Luto had a beau, who was admitted to the house at unusual hours, and that, being caught iu tlie act, this means of concealing the real truth of the case was adopted. With all the sagacity of au ex-journalist he followed his clue, but could not establish the theory he had formed.

Hut while pursuing his investigation he learned that one of the girls, who hail been a member of his family a long time, was really guilty of having a male admirer, who occasionally shared the hospitality of the house, uuknowu to the proprietor. She was ft buxom English girl, with a handsome form and a bright, cheerful face. Faithful in the performance of her duties, and al­ways solicitous for the best interests of tho family, she had made herself almost invalu­able to the household. The high esteem in which Mr. Clemens had always held her rt© doubt influenced his course. He was sorry to part with the girl who had served him well, but seeiug no other alternative, quick­ly matured a plan that should “ let her down easy.” After a long hunt he suoeed- eil in discovering the young fellow’s name. When that was gained Mr. Clemens went down town and procured a marriage certifi­cate. Returning he stopped at the resi­dence of the ltev. Mr. Twitchell, pastor of the Asylum Street church, and took him into his carriage. Arriving home, the first thing done was to send for tho young man, who soon appeared, somewhat frightened at the summons. From his dress and general appearance of decay it was evident that his circumstances were not those of violent prosperity. When he was brought in Mark braced up and tried to look dignified. This is about the dialogue that ensued.

Mark—8o, young man, you have been iu tbe habit of makiug a hotel of my house— with all the modern improvements. [Silence unbroken by the young man.] Well as you don’t offer auv objections, we’ll take that part of the matter for granted. If your of­fense had stopped at that point it would have been all right. I am glad to entertain company—yes, if you had mentioned it I would have had the house refurnished for you. All that, and more, I would have done gladly for a guest. Hut when you [dignity and pathos]—when you alienate the affections of Maria Jane, when you de­scend upon this fold with base designs— like a wolf iu sheep's clothing, as it were— that I cannot forgive.”

Y. M.—(With humility)—If you please, Sir, I niiit got no sheep's clothing.

Mark,(examining the fabric of the young man’s coat)—Ah, I perceive my error; it is cotton, uot wool. However, I was speaking

.metaphorically. As I intimated before, I cannot endure the thought of having my home, which, until your fell presence, had been the abode of innocence, turned into a kennel of wrong-doing. When you sought that end, you uot only wounded me mortal­ly, but you aroused my wrath; and, young man, when I'm mad, I ’m a bad crowd. In the first throes of my passion I was doubt­ful whether to have you arrested for murder iu the first degree or---- ’*

At this point the young manshowed symp- tlims of terror. “But,” continued Mark, “it suddenly ocourred to me that a certain Pennsylvania judge—Joe Bradley, I believe —once ruled that in case of arson, the fellow must marry tho girl; and so I conclude that you must answer to the crime of arson; in other words, you must get hitched to Maria Jane.”

Apparently, Mark’s victim was relieved, but he was still doubtful. He said: “If you please, sir, I’d be glad to marry Maria, but I couldn’t support her. I ain't got no mon­ey, and I cau.t get no work. I menu to marry her some time, sir, honest and true I do.”

Mark—That’s altogether too thin, young man. You marry right here and now, or up you go for arson.

Y. M. —Well, sir, if it comes to that, of course I’ll marry her.

Mark—That’s the kind of bilk I like. Here Twitchell! Maria Jane ! Come here !

And the two people named, followed by the other servant, entered the room; the marriage ceremony was performed, and Mark paid the minister; gave the couple $500 in cash, a»d set them adr:ft with an injunc­tion which by the way, he ascribed to llovle, to “go and sin no more."—Corre- sjiohilnief of the Boston Heialil.

during the visit of tlie Austrian' cousin. But being lively spirited, and briiafulef curios* ity, to sc* the youthful Ewperftt who had so ftuddftnlyftuccftftdedto the troubled but bril-L tiHwcrotfii of 'Austria, the Princess Eliza­beth contrived to give her attendants thft slip, a rut to hide iu the corridor along w Inch the imperial guest, who had arrived au hour before, and who was dressing for dinner iu the rooms set appart for his reception, would have to pass in going to the banquet- hall.

As the young sovereign passed along this corridor, the princess, ybo was watching lor him, sprang ont of her hiding-place, laughed at the success of her mauoruvr.e, and cried, gayly:

“Cousin Erapz ! Cousin Franz ! I wanted to see you, and tl̂ ey jvouljn't let me. 8o I hid myself here to see you go by.”

It appears tnat Cupid’s bow, so innocent­ly shot off by the merry girl, who lmd no thought beyond the gratification of bar cu­riosity to see the grand yonngconsin whose fjuality as Emperor had excited her imag­ination, went straight to the mark.

The young Emperor fell head and ears in love with the gay and lovely vision that had presented itself to unaffectedly before him. What passed between the two young people has never transpired; but*a few minutes later the imperial guest entered the drawing room with his young cousin ou hisarm, ami presented her to the astonished circle of re­latives anil courtiers, who were awaiting his appearance, as “tha Empress of Austria un­engaged wife.”

The auger of the elder sisters is said to have been quite lively, as was, perhaps, quite liUturul under the circumstances.

The young princess dined that day iu the banquet-hall, seated beside tlie “Cousin Franz’’ so suddenly metamorphosed into her “imperial spouse;” and the duke, though vexed for the disappointment of his eldest daughter, had at least the satisfaction of having this splendid match secured for his youngest.

The marriage took place when the prin­cess had reached the mature age of sixteen, and all her husband's subjects were enchant­ed with her youthful beauty,and her remark­able grace and kindness..

Tnickee is a thriving railroad town, and the starting point for Lake Tahoe—called the “ Gem of the Sierras.” Tho road from Truckee winds along Truckee river up a canyon bearing the same name. It is four­teen miles long, anil a succession of fine views the whole length of the road. Tho snow-clad Sierras are on our light, and beautifully timbered hills on each side of the river. A few miles up the canyon a suc­cessful fish farm is in operation, where tens of thousands of trout can be seen in every stage of a trent’s existence. As we reach tho head of the canyon, we find that we are also at the outlet or head of the Truckee river, whose waters, like all the other rivers in Ne­vada, are lost in sinks. None of them have, au outlet into the ocean.

The view as we emerge fram the canyon is beautiful. The broad expanse of the lake lies before us, encircled on all sides by tow­ering mountains. Half of the lake is in Ne­vada, tho other half in California. It is twenty-eight miles long, and from twelve to sixteen miles wide, and has been sounded to the depth of 1,600 feet. Its waters anil beau­tiful ultra-marine, and it may be called tho purest water iu the world, containing by analysis only 4 per cent, of impurities.^. J.L is so light and mobile as to be easily lashed into foam, or calmed to a mirror-like sur­face. In the early morning ittfs like a look­ing-glass, with surrounding objects reflect­ed in it with surprising accuracy. Several steamers of small tonnage are used in navi­gating it. Its altitude is about 6,300 feot; it is always cool and pleasant in the hottest weather. The lake never freezes, and never gives up its dead. No person that was drowned lias ever rose to the surface. Wood, as soon as it is saturated, sinks to the bot­tom. The water is clear as crystal, and huge rocks fifty feet down are plainly dis­cernible.

The finest place on the lake is Emerald Bay. Ben Holladay owns a beautiful place at tho head of it—a very neat residence iu a shady nook, with the snow-clad summits of the Sierras ns a back-ground, and a magnifi­cent waterfall for the middle distance. Near by is the beautiful little islet called the Emerald Isle, on which au old salt namcJ Sailor Dick built a home and a grave where he iutended to be buried should he die on land, but I am credibly informed that he

I got on a drunken spree and sunk to rise no | more.

A cascade of surprising beauty is seen at j the head of tho bay. It is over 100 feat 1 high. The towering mass of rock on each j side makes a beautiful setting for tbe show- I er of pearls.

A correspondent thus relates the romantic way^n which the Empress of Austria cap­tured her Emperor:

The Empress is the youngest daughter of Duke Maximilian Joseph of Bavaria, and sister of the ex-Queen Sophia of Naples. Francis Joseph was to have been affianced to the Princess Sophia, to make acquain­tance with whom ho went to make a visit to Ins uncle’s castle of Possenlioffen, where his four young lady cousins had been born and brought up.

The Princess Elizabeth, then in In* six­teenth year, and remarkably beautiful, was not to have beeu allowed to Bee tbe young Emperor both because on account of her youth—she was not supposed to bo “out”— and also because, being much handsomer than her sisters, the wily duke desired to secure his imperial nephew for his eldest daughter, bwfofe tho former should have been allowed to catch sight of his youngest, ns lie felt very sure that the hand of such a beauty as she promised to be would be sought for far and wide when it should be in tlie matrimonial market.

So tho young lady was told that she was to stay with her governess, and not to pre­sume to show herself in tho drawing-room

A few years ago there was a thoroughly organized and formidable strike of the British Association of Locomotive Engine­ers. The strike br^ko out at Newcastle- upon-Tyne, and for a few hours the com­munications, transportation, and food and fuel supplies of the United Kingdom wter threatened. The Privy Council took im­mediate cognizance of the matter, however, and acted in the most prompt anil vigorous manner. Tho engineers were assured that, if they had any Teal grievances, upon a proper presentation of them they should be equitably adjusted, but they were also assured that if they did not resume work at once and prevent the obstruction of trans­portation they would bo visited uy the severest penalties of the law, and, if neces­sary, with the penalties of martial law. Thus dealt with, the engineers resumed work, and presented their grievances. Par­liament took hold of the matter, tho leading public men gave it their attention, such great employers of labor and capital as Sir William Armstrong, Mr. Scott Russell, and others interested themselves, and tho result was a mutual agreement on the part of the employers and employes to submit their differences to arbitration A Board of Arbi­tration was ngreed upon, the engiueors nominating one-half of the Board, the rail- rond corporations the other half, the two halves choosing an umpire to preside. The result was so satisfactory anil the plan worked so well that it was imitated by other working men’s associations, and now, in England, nearly all the differences between labor and its employers, instead of termina­ting in wasteful anil ruinous strikes, are submitted to the decision of competent third parties for arbitration.- Baltimore Bulletin.

John Chinaman at hia wauhtub stood, And cheerily rub and scoured ;

The wages he got were small enough, But never hia soul wag aoured.

He did not covet a mansion proud,IHb tastes Wei u.aimple and few ;

He washed a wav with a lightsome heart, And sang as the soapsuds tluw.

Soon the Melicail mair lie came th a t war And it grieved him sore to ace

A heathen with plenty of work to do,And doing it merrily.

For the Melicail man was on a strike, And liis soul was full of gall ;

‘So he rallied some other Melicail nu n And gave thu heathen a call.

They kicked John Chinaman into the street, And round the premisesJore,

Till liis tubs ami other utensils lav A wreck on the laundry floor.

Then the hea then lie gathered liis sa. s scant,

And sailed for liis own countree,“ No Melican man for m e,” he sighed,

“ He velv much too free.”Xc"' Yuri; Shu.

soaring far above his present level. Apt ‘fleet fascination for books, and study, and knowledge, had charac­terized him when a merit hoy; and many a knotty problem in algebra, or a proposition in geometry, bail he wrestled with suueessfully, with no teacher but his hooks and his own keen intelligence.

Later, when he had so mastered what he set himself to master, he commenced a course of reading; and then it was, under the influence of the great minds who have written for the help and encouragement of their fellow-creatures, that Ralph Homer was aroused to a sense of the capacities within himself —that he realized that lie, too, could have made his mark in the world had des­tiny put him where he could consci­entiously have risked all for the glo­rious venture.

But destiny had not placed him in such a position. His duty cons^ted of the everyday life and honest, drudg­ing toil by which he might earn his daily bread, and contribute to the support of his people; uAd, like the great, grand soul he was, Ralph Ho­mer had bravely taken up the duty that lay nearest him, and, while the instincts of his nature would revolt, yet he conscientiously performed the whole of his duty with uncom­plaining lips and cheerful face.

But that was not all lie did. There were hours when more congenial em­ployment could be followed—odd minutes when he could forget him­self among his books and with pen and paper. And so his young man­hood wore on, and when Elina Ya- rian came across his path, lie was a grave, thoughtful, cultured man—-

. albeit only “the miller’s son.”And line-looking—with the royal

beauty of intelligence and refinement, which dusty-white clothes neither les­sened nor hid—with a manly, hand­some physique, and a face that seem- n . .ed to- Elina Varian the noblest and j Hlld wondeied why

IElina Varian stopped her

plneton just where a dump of prevented Ralph Homer from seeing her, but where, through the interlac­ing green, tipped with plumy, pur­ple sweets, she could distinctly watch his every motion and express­ion.

Elma Varian was a beauty of rare, sweet type—pale, grave, pure as lily petal, with thoughtful dark eyes, Unit seemed shading into liquid black­ness as she sat there in her claret- lined plneton, the white reins lying loosely in her small driving gloved hands, as she leaned forward, peep-

sweetest she had ever seen, with its sunny blue eyes that had always a shade of gravity in them, with its lux­uriant golden hair, and lirm, large month,that, when it smiled, somehow — stnurhoir thrilled the girl as never smile ol man had done before.

He stood beside the wide-open doors of the old picturesque mill, with the tumbling, rioting stream foaming along between green banks, and under the wide shade of grand old elm trees, with the cool morning breeze blowing briskly about, the glad sunshine pouring a golden

a I Hood on adjacent meadows and wav- |mg cornfields; he stood just beside the doors, at the high, old-fashioned desk, summing up columns of ures wit h ready, easy skill.

His coat was off, and his snowy while shirt sleeves were turned half-

fig-

ing through the lilac bushes, ing Ralph Homer at. bis work.

She was a girl at whom any one would have looked, and looked again so admirafion-eompeling was the fair, frank face, with its lovely eyes, beneath thick, jetty brows, with their slight curve; so ineffably sweet was the rich, red mouth, its warmly- smiling lips parting over pretty teeth.

And besides being so parsing love­ly,Elma was almost unconscious of it; not that she did not actually know she \\i. . physically superior to other women—she would not have been woman not to have well known that —but she did not. carry an ever-pres­ent consciousness of her charming grace.

She forgot it continually, and did not depend on it to make friends and admirers for herself, Imt, she nil her strove, by her gentle graciousness and winning sweetness, fo woo people to her. And sin invariablv succeed­ed

In New York, where she lived in a palace almost—so magnificent were all her sumptuous surround­ings—friends and lovers rallied by the score. In this beauiitul little riverside country village, nestling at the base of blue-topped, gulden-haz­ed lulls, where Miss Varian\s sum­mer residence was a marvel of the

of elegance, everybody from W alter Holcomb to

watch- i way back to his elbow, revealing the magnilieent developementof his arms; bis hair was pushed off his temples, m a loose, curling mass, and his black-ribboned white straw hat sat on t lie back of his head.

He certainly was handsome. As Elma sat covertly looking at him,

Hashes of exquisite delight till- why, she could not

have told, since her friendship had been so purely matter-of-fact, and so very particularly unsentimental.

Directly she spoke to her two milk- white pomes:

“Come, Dandy! come, Doctor! we’ve been waiting long enough.’

And with a skillful sweep she brought them around the lilac bush­es and the sharp turn in the road, and then stopped again before the mill-door.

Ralph looked up, a sudden light leaping to his eyes—a light of inteii- sest joy, that instantly left them, as he sternly told himself to be careful j —the beauty, and sweetness, and witchery of this girl were not for j him, the son of poverty and toil, and ! she a great heiress in her own right.

He bowed pleasantly as he came out to the side of the plneton, and |

for him —that was reserved for some blessed lover who should give her, in gold, and lands, and positiou, as gootj and as much as he should take.

She laughed and talked more free­ly than was her sustom, and he was more quiet and reserved than was his usual habit.

She admired him with a deep, eager regard that she. did not think was so near akin to the tirst real, passionate love of her heart; and he, with every moment, was lighting down the presumptuous thoughts her sweetness ond graeiousneSS evok­ed.

Then she drove away, discontent­ed and disappointed, although she could not have told whv just then.

And he went back to his desk, with pale face and compressed lips, resolved, let it cost what it would, that he would not be such a precious fool as to imagine for a moment that reciprocated love for Elma Va­rian could he his.

For he knew he loved her. He knew that the very sound of her ponies’ hoofs and the roll of ho pine- ton’s wheels were exquisitely sweet to him. ‘ He knew that the touch of her fair white fingers had the power to make every nerve in him respond —that the swift, uplifted glance of her dark eyes stirred him to the very foundation of his soul.

But she was not for him. She was as infinitely his superior in many re­spects ns he did not know he was hers in as many others. He realized that his position was not such as a mail should dare offer to a woman with the possessions that M e r e Elma Varian’s. •

And so Le put aM'hy from him, or rather strove to put away from him, the thoughts of, the longing for, tho girl who had bewitched him; while Elma herself, in her beautiful home, among all the accessories of luxury

it was drives of late

she so seldom, so very seldom, saw Ralph Homer, and when she did chance to meet him, why he was so politely reserved, almost to cool­ness.

H er fair cheeks would* grow still paler, and her beautiful dark eyes would fill M'ith tears, as she thought of it.

“He doesn’t care for me, and—I lovp him ! I tried my very best to make him cere, and he wouldn’t ! And I l ive him—I love him!”

Then the warm summer days end­ed, and after the gorgeous hues of September and the tonic air of per-

| feet October had come and gone, El­ma went back to her city home, car­rying M*ith her a bitter remembrance of a love that Mas unrequited—-car­rying M il'll her the memory of a brief farewell, b!ue eyes, as she gave him her bare hand, and thanked him for what he had done to make her sum­mer stay so pleasant

And he had taken her dainty, pulsing fingers in just a merest touch, then restored them, with a smile and boM*, and an assurance that he was surprised and glad if he had in any May contributed to her happiness.

Then he had stroked.Dandy’s glos­sy coat, and patted Doctor’s back and lifted his hat, au recoir.

And to Elma—that was all. cause slur never knew how he back in the mill, and bowed bis bead on his hands, with a face whiter than a woman’s and all his strong frame trembling, and sent up ago­nized prayers for endurance and strength.

There were leisure days, too, when neither the mill, nor business to the city, nor his pen, demanded Ralph’s time, and when, gladly relieved from her work in the dairy or kitchen,Elma would fix up a dainty lunch, and she and Ralph would go boating, or lisliiug, or picknicking, or driv­ing.

Blessed, blessed days were they— i of the causes of the crisis: the conclu- red-letter days-—before either of j sion of the war found us a peoplethem knew to a certainty the full who did not understand their free- 4feelings of the other; blissful days of dim, SM*eet uncertainty, that only un­certainty, . that only un-betrothed lovers know—until that best of all days came—that day from which El­ma counted all succeeding days.

It had been deliciously8 cool and breezy, although in mid-July. Ear­ly that morning, she and Ralph, and little six-year-old Pet, had started on a long day’s pleasure—a row down the liver as far as Weston Woods; then a picnic-lunch all by themselves, under the Hickcring shade beside the bank.

Pet had taken off her stockings and slippers, and Mas gleefully Mail­ing ankle deep on the shining edge of the river, the soft plash of the rip­ples cooling her white, dimpled leet; and further up on the grassy slope, over-canopied with elms and clies- tiuts, Ralph and Elma were sitting, talking, laughing, until gradually a serious, almost solemn silence fell between theni, and Elma took from her basket a volume she had been reading at odj times at home, and began to read aloud, in her Iom*, sweet voice, that was tenderly ex­pressive.

“Ralph, what a perfect god among his fellows tlie author of this work must be? I am sure lie must be some woman’s idol, and reciprocate her adoration, else he never could know so thoroughly the working of woman's heart.”

He smiled as he answered:•‘You think so, Elma? And what

is your opinion of his chances of suc­cess, in ease you are mistaken about his already being so fortunate ? Put the book down and talk to me.”

dom, and the most barefaced swin­dlers found native believers on ac­count of this economic ignorance.

By France paying off her enor­mous indemnity in so short a time, the war loans were extinguished, and through this enormous sums were set free. This money sought new em­ployment, and the unexampled offer of capital excited speculation. At the same time, extensive railway and military works begun, withdrawing thousands at higher wages from their former occupations. These gaps had to be filled up by a similar process of increasing pay. One increase brought on another, whilo strikes lent their powerful aid. Tho railway and building enterprises made such demands on the iron and other trades that these were obliged to enlarge their establishments, large stock companies giving them the necessary means. High Mages and salaries soon gave birth to new wants among the working population, resulting in stock hotels, baths, building soci­eties, etc. But these speculations Merc built on a demand which could only be transient, and they carried? the seeds of death in them.

Two injurious results to working men followed this increased reiiiuu oration and the facility of finding cinlpoymcnt at any moment: Firstly —Every impulse to economy was de­stroyed by the facility of earning^ and as this class had not t he moral strength to enjoy its luck in modera­tion, tho foundations of family life Mere snapped by a public-house ex­istence. Even now high wages do not suffice, and the discontentment of the man acts injurious on their work. Secondly—The superabun-

And, for the first time since Ralph Homer had known Elina, there came a thrill of ecstatic delight over him, and a sudden vague hope.

“Thank God, if my darling has lo s t everything that muis a barrier be­tween u s!”

And he bent more fondly over his books and papers; and, not very long after that, there came a new hand at tlie mill, and Ralph lmd more leisure M'ith his more congenial duties, and lived on sweet hopes and almost

But he did not laugh back. In­stead, he arose from the grass, and Mont over to her, with serious, eager face, and intense, passion fill eyes.

“Elma, tell me that again ! My . darling, is it I, as the author of that j book, or I myself, whom you love? j Elma, are you surprised that I have 1 both reputation and promise o f 1 wealth to oiler you ? Oh, Lima, my love, 1 low I have worked and Mailed for this! Tell me von love me!”

“Ralph, I loved you just as well in your miller’s clothes as now! But I am so pioiid—so proud of this! To think my hero and my lover are one !”

Little Pet plashed unconsciously in the ripples, arftl the lovers seemed to be in paradise, as they talked, and renewed, and exchanged their vows.

“Only I am half sorry von will have riches, Ralph, because I wanted to give them to you myself. I have never lost a dime, ex*cept that one house up yonder. I circulated the report that I might liavo a good ex­cuse to—u in you, my love ! You do not think it was unmaidenly ?”

Mere sure Technical education was neglected, and we have in all branches num­bers of men who have not learned their trade thoroughly.

A Womans Hair Turned White By Fright.

—A member of a church in Ver­mont desiring “a man from the Lord” prayed in thiswise: “Send us not an old man in his dotage, nor a young man in his goslinhood, but a man with all the modern improvements.’

It is stated that the rioters ran­sacked the house of Gen Pearson on Saturday night. The report is a mistake. They sent word to his M'ife in the evening to get out, and she immediately acted upon the notice, removed what personal prop­erty she could, M'hieli she concealed in a coal-vault near, and took her family away. In a short time the mob appeared, and not finding Gen. Pearson there, they retired without doing any destruction. Mrs. Pear­son, with her three children, her mother and sister, sought refuge in a friend’s house. Mrs. Pearson was so terrified that her hair, which was a brown color, actually turned M'liite in ime night. The mob had brought* a coffin to her, and swore that they} intended to kill her husband and pu$ him in that coffin.

A DOCTOR’S STORY.I am a doctor. I live in London, and in

one of the most crowded looalities.I had been in uy present abode two years,

and had never had a patient from the more uristoen^ptciyale^,-when op« night, about 11:30, I was startled by a violent ring at my bell, and liavlrig just got to bed after a hard day's work,, .1 cas t say the summons was agreeable.*

However, 1 ran to my window at once, and thrusting mv head out into the rain, cried, “Who Ls there?”

A voice answered, “Only I, Doctor. It’s an urgent case! Please gome down to the door.”

I hurried on some clothes, sped down stairs and opened the door. There stood in the full light of the hall lamp, an elderly lady dressed in deep mourning.

She put out the smallest of hands in a tine black kid glove, and said, piteously,‘ ‘Are yoa'the'idlodtor V”

“Yes,” I said.“Then come with me,” said she. Don’t

delav. It’s life or death. Comcl"I hurried on my overcoat, caught up my

umbrella and, offering my arm to the old lady; xvAlkfcd down tlm street with her.

“You must be my guide, madam, I said. “I do not know where you live.”

She instantly gave me a street and num­ber that surprised me still more. It was in a tolorubly aristocratic quarter of the town.

“Who is ill, madam,” I inquired, “a young lady—my daughter,” she said.

“SudderilV?’“Yes, suddenly,” she answered. “Do

you keep a brougham? You should have had it out if you do. We would have been able to go faster.”

“I koep no conveyance,” I said.“Perhaps ?youare poor?” said she eagerly. "Certainly not rich.’’I said,“Cure her, and I'll make you rich.” she

said, in a so rt of suppressed shriek—“Cure her and I’ll give you anything you ask. I don't care for money. I ’m rolling in gold. Cure her, and I’ll Bhower it on you.”

“You are excited, madam, I said. “Pray bo calm,”

“Calm !” she said—“calm ! but you don’t know a mother’s heart.,’

We had reached the street sh* hud indi­cated, and were at the door of one of its houses. The old lady ascended the steps and opened the door with a latch key. A light burnt in the hall; another in one of th# parlors, the furniture of which was draped and shrouded in white linen.

“Wait here, sir, if you please,” she said, as she led me into one of these.

I waited what I thought a most unreason­able time in that gloomy parlor. I began to grow a little nervous, when a stout, red­faced woman bustled into the room.

“I beg your pardon, sir," she said in a singular tone, such as ono who had commit­ted a spoech to memory might use; but my missus—the lady who brought you hero­ic very nervous, and needlessly alarmed. JShe begs your acceptance of the customary fee, and there is no need of your services.”

Thus speaking, she handed nio a guinea, courtesied, and opeued the door for me. I bowed, expressed my pleasure that the pa­tient was better, and departed.

It was a queer sort of adventure, but rather amusing than otherwise; besides I had a good fee.

I rose early next morning, and paid a couple of visits before breakfast. Return­ing, to my astonishment, I found sitting in my consulting-room the lady of the night before. She rose as I entered.

“Wb*t must yoE think of me ?” she said. “Bat n£> matter. My daughter is very dear to me, arid I have hoard of your skill. She said. “But no matter. My daughter is very doar to me, and I have heard of your skill. She is worse again. Can you call some time to-day, as early as possible, at my house?”

“I will be there in an hour,” I said.The lady tooluout her purse,

i ‘Taiptin old-fashioned woinap," she said. t “I retain qld-faehipioa habits. In my day he dicta! received hi* fee on the spot. It was in ordinary eaeses a guinea. Will you receive it now ?”

I did not know what to say, but she laid the money on the table and departed.

I ate my breakfast, and having dressed myself carefully, made my way to the old lady’s house. I knocked. The door w m opened by the stout female who had die- missed me the night before.

“The doctor,,’ I said by way of explana­tion.

“Ah,” said she. “lias missus called you in again T'

“Yes”,,I answered.“'there is no need, I assure you, sir,” she

said. “I cau’t ask yort in. There’s no one ill here. It’s a wnim of missus'. I’m a better jud e ef illness than she. No need of a dootor. ”

I left the house, of course, partly in dud­geon, partly in amazemeat.

Three weeks passed by, when, lo ! the old lady again.

She walked into my consulting-room dressed ns before, as greatly agitated ns carefully pelite.

“Sir,” she said, “again I trouble you. My j>oor daughter! Come at once.”

“Madam,” It is a doctor,s duty, as it should bo bis pleasure, to obey such calls; but you are aware that I havebeon sent from your door twice without seeing the patient. Allow me to ask yo u a question—are you the mistress of thathonso?',

“Heaven knows I am,” said the old lady. “I have livod there for forty years. I own it.

I am the only person under that roof who has the right to give an order.”

“And the person who *eut me away ?” “My oM mi v»u4 Margaret.”‘4TiH«h4du It at your order f ’

of the house together. We exchanged very fey words as we walked the streets. At the doot of her house the old lady paUsei£

“Dou'l mind Margaret," she whispered. "Sha moans well.”

Then sha ascended the steps.At the last one the door wn< opened to as

1 did so. She weut up stairs and opeued the first door we came to. It was an empty bed-room- She closed it with a sigh. The iiext room into which she led mo was also empty. So were all the others. In effect? we fished six apartments, only ono of which seemed to be regularly occupied as a sleep- riig chamber; and at the lait the did lauy turned to me with a strange glitter iu her

has^tolou? my girl. Sir, do you know, I think it must be satan !”

Then a steady stop crossed tbo sijl. Mar- griVet came in,' and the old lady bursting into team, suffered her to lead her away.

As I made my way down stairs, Margaret njjoiued me.

You understand it now',” she said. “You see, this poor lady is not iu her right mind."

“I do indeed.” I said.“She bad a daughter once,” said Marga­

ret, “aud the girl—a pretty creature of 10 —ran away with a bad man. She came back hofaie One day and begged forgiveness. Her mother turned her from the door in a fury. It WAS night; the ruin and hail beat down on the poor thing, and the wind buff­eted her. There is no knowing what hap­pened to her that night; but, next morning, she lay dead in the police station. Her mother’s address was pinned to her baby’s clothing, anefthey brought her home. From that awful day, rtfr, my mistress—who, in her remorse and delirium, called in twenty doctors to bring her dead daughter to life— has been always doing what she has done to you, I try to keep the secret generally, but some find it out and others think odd things of us. I thought I would let you know the truth. If she contrives to come again to you, you can always promise to call, and so be rid of her. Poor soyl! She has nobody in the world but me now. She’s punished for her hardness, at any rah;, and you’ll excuse her conduct.”

I bowed. I oould say nothing. Marga­ret opened < the dodr forme, and I walked out into the fresh air.

As I looked back upon the bouse, with all its elegance, it seemed to me to have a haunted air, as though the ghost of the poor girl still hovered about it.

“God only kuows how many fearful secrets such handsome homes may at times shut iu,” I said to myself, as I turned my back upon it gladly.

1 have never seen the poor old lady since that hour. Probably Margaret has kept too close a watch ou her.

centuries. He was not fierce, he was calm aud logical, aud I have often said, “ If any man is safe from connubial perils, he is safe beyond i^mdv*ntare.”

.After exchanging greetings with my friend, he blurted out, “Afell, I’m married. I confess it; hut please don’t tell am that you knew I should he; that you liad expected it; for I am no fool,,*and I have sworn a hun­dred times that tome marriage Vfis impossi­ble."

Subsequently he gave mo his confidence. He was walking one moonlight evening ou the beach with a young-lady he had knownfor five or six yeurs. She was a friend of his sister, and he regarded her as a ksud of adopted sister. He had liked her for her sound judgment, strength of character aud freedom of sentiment. They were walking quietly along aud discussing Herbert Spen­cer. One of the last things he remembered distinctly was that they were discussing the survival of the fittest by examples within their ofu knowledge. The next thing he knew he had proposed to her, aud she was throbbing on his bosom like a volcano in eruption, and sobbing out that she had adored him from the first moment she had laid her eyes ou him.

“ Wasn’t that rather queer,” he asked, for a young woman of extraordinary strength of elinrucfbt\ totally devoid of sentiment ?"

“ It’s just lijce one,” I responded oracu­larly, and when urged tb eipluin refhsed to say another word.

“ WcM,” he continued after a while, “ I am devilish glad it happened, though how it happened,, to tins diy I hnvo no idea—for Helen loves me devotedly, and I love her; and we are very happy together. But you kuow I’m always looking for the cause of things. I wonder Btill what put us into that passionate mood—us, who had always been so self-contained in one another’s society. Was it the inoou ? Or could it have been the sea ?”

“ Neither,” I answered. “ It was because you regarded it as impossible. As you are aware, Nothing is certain but the impossi­ble.’.’

GOSSIP FOR THE LADIES.By t h e 8ea .

W i t t e r in g P la c e I.oven.

A Long Branch correspondent writes: A couple at the United States have seemed to be so very loud of one another as to attract general attention, and the general conclu­sion naturally was that they were enjoying their honeymoon. One of the boarders, who declared that ho could always tell by their behavior in public just liow loug a pair had been married, offered to lay a wager that their wedding had taken place within three weeks. “ I am sure of it,” he added; “ no man is so studiously gallant to a woman after the first month. Why, he lifts his hat to her on joining her on the piazza, picks up her handkerchief and returns it with a bow, follows her with his eyes, begs her par­don if ho happens to jostle her iu walking.A man cau’t keep up that, of course. It’s all well enough in the honeymoon; I’ve been guilty of that thing myself. But when a fel­low has been a husband a year he can’t afford to be regulated by the slightest movement of his wife’s petticoats—it’s simply ridicu­lous.”

His wager was taken. Due inquiry estab­lished the fact that the couple had been mar­ried seven years; that the husband had fallen in love with his wife at first sight at the United .States Hotel, aud hail proposed to her within forty-eight hours, and had been accepted, the soft .infection being mutual.He was then au officer in the regular army— and she was the eldest of five daughters of the cashier of a county bank. Neither had anything to gain financially by the mar­riage; but they were married at once, and she went with him to a military post iu Wy­oming. After three years, au uncle, a bach­elor, who had been in business iu England, died, and left her a handsome property.Her hnsbaud resigned from the army, aud is now a member of a prosperous firtn in Baltimore, and, according to all accounts and manifestations, as fond of his wife as on the day of his wedding.

“ A man still in love with his wife at the end of seven years?” says a skeptical read­er; V that is ton heavy a draft on human credulity/’ All I can say is that the nnmes aud addresses will be given if treated confi­dentially, mid, if desirable, photographs may be exchanged.

Summer resorts are apt to bo dangerous to celibacy, from the. fact that young people luvvd nothing else to do but to become senti- ! dents would happen lnentally ensnared. We may consider love j families, and hoped as divine as we like; I fear that it is su­premely human, out it springs generally from a superabundance of leisure. Having nothing else to occupy them, they fell in love, is a sentence that wonld describe faith­fully the condition of many immature men and women.

I met here recently an old friend wlio, a few years since, was once of the most reso­lute and philosophic of bachelors. Ho was grounded on reason, and he had at hisa .ie’h end all the arguments that distiu-

“ You must get to Chicago iu someway or other. Never mind the strikes," said the head of the firm of Boggs, Grimes <t Clinch, in which I was employed as a drummer. Our liue was dry-goods specialties: and al­though I had only been iu town a week, I knew that when Boggs spoke I must go, or resign my position. Besides, I adored Boggs’ beauteous daughter,*— was madly, desperately iu love,—amt for her sake I would have taken the first train to Hades had her lather intimated that it might be worth while to drum up business iu that quarter.

“ All right, Mr. Boggs,” said I gayly. “ I’m off at ouce. My samples will be ready iu tou minutes.” X rushed up-town in a car to take a hurried farewell of my peerless Anna Maria. Should I ever be able to call her miue—mine own ?

“ Oh, Timothy, you are not going where those horrid strikes are? Father cannot be so cruel as to insist upon it.”

“ My divine Anna Maria,” I said tenderly, “ stern duty calls, and I must obey. But, darling, do yon love me?”

“ Luye you? You bet!” sha answered, with :i%nost a touch of reproaoh iu her tone at my doubts. “ Go Timothy, aud remem­ber that whatever harm may befall you, I am always your Anna Maria—yours, aud yours ouiy.”

Thus reassured, aud after a tearful part­ing I crossed the ferry to the Pennsylvania depot, intending to go to Chicago via Pitts­burg. As the train approached Philadel­phia, I saw several savage-looking strikers on the track. They boarded and uncoupled the cars. There was some promiscuous firing, aud a shot from a brakenmu took off my right ear. aud disabled my left leg so as to necessitate amputation. Nothing daunt­ed, and thinking of my dear Anna Maria Boggs, I smuggled myself iu a mail-car en- route to Pittsburg.

There was great excitement when we reached Harrisburg, aud riot was rampant.A shot fired by a discontented train-hand shattered my right arm; but the image of Anna Maria soothed my trouble. Thu doc­tor who sawed off the limb behaved exceed­ingly well, aud I really felt grateful for hisEolite attention,—much more than could*

ave been expected under the circiim- atances.

I soon got strong again, and made friends with an engineer who was going towards Pittsburg. He consented to allow me to ac­company him on the locomotive, in consid­eration of my guietly slipping into his hand a fifty-dollar bill. Just as we were leaving the Harrisburg depot, a shot from sorao un­known person slightly put out my right eye, but I thanked my stars it was no worse. I might have lost my head. I have still a few other limbs aud things to get rid of before arriving in Chioago; but what matters the loss of such trifles, so loug as Anna Maria remains faithful to her Timothy, who would make any sacrifice for her ?

At Pittsburg I found that forty or fifty people had been killed, double the number wounded, and the depot and a few dozen stores were in flames. A shot flattened my nose; another deprived me of my left ear; a third broke my right leg; but. fortunately, I can get a wooden one to match my left. Anna Maria will Wo my nurse when I return, and if I have but one eye to see her, that at any rate is better than none at all.

Well, at lenst, I’m half way on my jour­ney. Now, which was the best route to Chi­cago ? I resolved to gt> by way of Cleve­land. I hid among the coal in the tender of a locomotive, and was not discovered by the mob. I reached that city in safety, if I ex­cept a trifling loss of three fingers of my left and only remaining hand from a blow with o crowbar by an nngry switchman, who objected to a bloated business man being allowed to travel so easily.

Now for Chicago. Some nic# fighting was iu progress, and shots were flyiug about in a perfectlyi,fidienlous manner. A cut from a cavalryman’s sabre took off my only arm in clanly style. I apologized for getting in Iris way. He said lie was sorry, but a^ci-

in the host regulated ho had not put me to

any inconvenience. I desired that he wouldn’t mention it.

I went to the Palmer House; and. when I’ve taken a few hours’ rest, shall look after business. I have sent a love-telegram to Anna Maria as it is awkward for mo to write—that she may know that her Timothy is still alive and well. What a fortunate man I am. I shall ever beliovo that it is better to be born lucky than rich.— Puck.

The chewing process will make them so sick that they will not want to go to tha picnic, and thus they will escape being stung by a wasp.

PERSONALS.

The Maid’s First Bath.—Take a timid youdg woman’s first battle with the breakers •—alight-built, frailish, chilly creature. She is tempted, after much persuasion, to put on a bathing-suit, and shyly and ashamed walks out ou the sand as startled as Godiva. Her little feet look accusations to her down­cast eyes upon such immodesty. Her belit­tled stature, short of skirts, aud iu course woolens that reveal every deficiency of plumpness aud all scrawny places, depresses her confidence yet more. The breath of the air searches out her shining skin, as if the little cupids riding ou the spray laid claim to her so unsexed. She scarce dared look at those bold, gazing dames who sit on the dry sands under parasols aud seok to penetrate her incognito. Theu there is a mau, a real man, with a pot belly and big, blue-veined feet, and a lazy, impudent, prying stare. “ 0 Lord,” she says, “ let us go back. I’m awful! I didn’t tbiuk it was like th is! Don’t let us go !” But there is uo retreat. The cold water touches her feet anil lays its cold clutch above her instep, and deriving audacity euters the little trousers, aud then riotously the fringe of surf leaps and chills her to the kuee. Her breath seems to leave her. Sho lays hand on the ropo and gaspt^ “ I can’t stand i t !” Theu there are little coaxings, aud she ventures iu again on con­dition that nobody approaches her, anil once consents to duck to the ueck. Led on by encouragement, she tries the nearest break­er nnd is pitched headlong, but, sustained by the baud of a friend, aiises dripping from it as nervous as ever. Nothing now prevents her escape but the male friend, who holds her firm with the nerve anil deli­cacy of a doctor. “ Cournge," he says. “ You are doing bravely! Don’t go now! if you go frightened you will never ap­preciate the sea ! It’s coming—there !” liaised in those confident arms to let the body of the wave pass beneath, she feels only its buoyancy, anil a new sense de­velops—of admiration of man’s strength. As terror subsides this confidence iu the bather grows. Her own confidence in her appearance and performance brings back the happy vanity. Yielding to instructions implicitly, a sense of purity revives, anil a steady glow replaces her blushes. Her arms around Mr. Smith’s neck. Sho floats face upward on his hand. They tumble together and don’t apologize. “ Ah !” says Mr Smith, “ I’ve learned something to-day. Be kind to her and any woman will love you !’ “ Well!" she says, “ I’m sure I never en­joyed myself more in my life."

—The investigation before the Legislative Committee in regard to the management and discipline of the State Workhouse at Bridgewater. Mass., has bought out a re­markable man.

The Burlington Hmcheye has the following directions for polite behavior, addressed to young gentlemen. As city ladies often visit that part of the country, we present these di­rections, iu order that such of the ladies as go that way may not be shirt led at the mas­culine manners which they find prevalent:

Salute the hostess by saying, “Cully, how's his nibs ?" It has an off-hand, informal pleasantry nbout it tbnt makes everybody feel easy.

If tbo evening is warm, shout “ Whoof !’’ as you sit down, aud inform the company generally that you do not wear flannels. (Unless you do; then own up like a man;

a ! don’t lie about it.)Make mysterious references to sundry ami

divers good times of a wicked nature' von have been having with several good young gentlemen in company, nnd endeavor to leave the impression that the best and bosli- tulest young gentleman of all was awful drunk, while the rest of you were only a lit­tle drunk.

If a young lady takes her [place at the piano to sing, it is your duty as a gentleman to accompany her with a very bass "ooni- pab, 00111-pah, bum, bum, bum;” especially it you have a voice like a crow, aud cannot sing a note. When the lady is through you should whistle the rofraiu for your neigh­bor, who mny not have heard the song.

It lends an air of easy elegance to n gen­tleman to chew' his tooth-pick all the time. If you hnvo forgotten your own, borrow some one elso’s.

Take out your tobacco pouch (yon should never attend a pnrty without it), and make as though you would take a tremendously largo chew. This is irresistibly funny, aud never fails to make the ladies, who cannot chew, vory envious.'

Ron Curios on Women.Women as a rule are good. If they be­

come bad, some one else is to blame Ex­ceptions in this case are few, and as a rule beautiful women are good, for no face is beautiful when evil can be plaiuly noticed in the expression of the eyes, die li[>s, die brow, (food und benutitui women are healthy, for a face that is pinched by pain, that bus become w rinkled ami thin by ill health, cannot be beautiful. Homely wom­en are sometimes, but not always good, for the meanest, lowest, most wicked woman I ever saw, was, in tact, the ugliest worn- au 1 ever saw.

if beautiful, she is intelligent, relined and modest. Then what is it men want? It is beauty; not this beauty which some have a mistaken idea of, which is only skin deep; but pure genuine beauty, and woman might just as well try to win men without beauty as for this notion to try to exist a hun­dred years without women Then I say let our women dress, for pretty birds need bretty feathers. Some men rail about frills and flounces, finger and earrings, cost­ly shawls and fine dresses; yet let the wives of those same men take off those frills and flounces, the next question asked them hr their husbands would be “ why, w hat is the matter with you?" Just so with the rings they would miss them at once and should they wear any different shawl or dress they would notice the dith renee and “ wonder what has happened to my wife ’’ Our American women need more appreciation, more respect paid them, more love, anil no doubt but they will pefonn their duty, in every respect if this only be given them
