MAY GRAY'S BEAUTY.
BY, EMMA . WEITTCOIIIII.
It was , the old story of Mary and her
lamb over again; only it wasn't a lamb,
it was u dog—a black dog, . too;. and
sweet May Gray, though innocent and
young, was not the - simple child of the
story; perahps, after all, the similitude
lay merely in May's pet following her
everywhere. Everybody said he was
the most absurd-looking pet any one
ctirer had; he was exactly like an animat,
ed ball of dirty wool; but May delighted
in him.
Many. were the troubles that t dog led
her into; but the• greatest one, 'in fact
the most severe trial of her life, came
One bright Sunday morning. . , As She
lifted
_her devout.. little head from
prayer s . and looked up at. the young
minister, - who was. Oi" isitiach' - his
sermon in Bloomingdale that day, what
should she see but Beauty, as her.' pet
-was most inappropriately christened,
snuffing at the pulpit-stairs. ...Sho'could
'scarcely' credit it; she looked down at
.her hymn-book, though she had lost
Vic! , place, then glanced up
Beauty was slowly ascending the stairs;
in a moment he was out of sight, behind
tlik . iTninister's desk.
During that moment May suffered.
something of the sensation drowning
persons are said to have, she had not
dreanind that so much could be crowded
into it 'moment. Presently ho - came in
sight again, wagging his tail compla
cently,- then, aftei. walking around 'the
minister, he disappeared in the vestry.
Two or-three of the small boys who, oc
cupied a corner of the gallery in every
country church, and who are as assidu- .
ous in their attendance ,as the deacons
or elders, tittered out loud' at this; and
the minister, who had seemed to be
very =chi annoyed, quietly closed the
door. -
Compared with / what she now .felt,
May's'stifferings befoie were as nothing;
her factOteemed on fire; her heart. kept
trying tb get above her collar, as she
listened to the scratching and snuffing
at the vestry-thor; then she heard a low
whine, and 'momeniatily expected to
hear Beauty's shrill ; bairk. It seemed
as if the service would . rleverend; when
it did, May didn't stay to beintroduced
to the mituster; - her Sabbath..school
children wondered what had become of
her; and Ler young brother under
,
stood, by the expression of her face,
that he might-as well prepare to'."catch
May bid i& father that he
let Beauty out after she went to church.
The utxt week the minister ,called at
the Grays. May was sittiffe by the
Paaloriwiadow, and saw him coming.
She noticed now, what had escaped her
Ozer r - uylotr npfrn r 7; tUralr do W:IV! lcry
handsome; then, too, with .what good
taste he' was dressed, so simple, yet
elegant.
,She wished her father wouid
wear a Panatela hat,,like
Her mother waitout, so she knew . she
must entertain 'him; and though some
people—principally old maids, or
mothers of several particularly homely
daughters—hinted that May Gray was
somewhat of a flirt, she dreaded meet
ing him. •
But it wasn't nearly so bad - us she
feared; and before he bud put his hat
down on the ball-table, and cane into
the parlor, khe felt quite at home with
him. Au le r passed away rapidly.
He gave May a laughable account of his
annoyance the. Sabbath before, and
said,—: -
"I wonder whose dog it is; ihe poor
est specimen or a canine I ever saw."
111 , 1 y kept a silence; she felt herself
guilty, both as tegarded Beauty and
the minister, and /die was quite relieved
when he bade her good afternoon,. and
turned to take his hat. But his hat was
not there ! He looked udder the table,
and behind the door—no bat was to be
seen.
wl'em could not nave hid It," said
May,. indignantly. "But, no; he isn't
to blame this time—he has gone fist
ing."
Then she called the servant-girls; but
they had not been into the ball that
afternoon. What was to be 'done ? It
- wasn't clerical, -to say the least, for him
to go Berme bareheaded. May suggest; ,
ed that he wear one of her father's bats,
which hung
, on the rack—and it did
seem to be the only thing that could be
done; so - he walked off with the pleas
act consciousness that Bray stood be
hind the curtains of the..parlor-window,
laughing at him;- and ,he did - expect
every moment that the hat would slip
over his ears and rest on his shoulders.
(.)
He didn't Make • any more calls that
afternoon, but shut-himaself in his study,
and, I am afrai4, ,, meditated more upon
the "slings, and arrows of outrageous
fortiine," . than -upon the text he had
chosen- for his next sermon---" Let
patience have, her . perfect" work."
Alas - -for the blindness of "the hu
man 1 He had , fancied, when he,
decided on that text, that he could draw
one or two illustrations •from his own
life; now he was not worthy to speak of
it to others. •
The next morning he received ai note
of apology from Mr. Gray,.accompany
ing the gift of a new hat.
When Tom.came home from his-fish
ing-excursion, he found Beauty in the
back yard playing with something that
looked like a hat. He stopped to exam
„ine it, and found it•was part of a hand
some Panama
*ay was in the dining-room - when he
came in, azurite told 4er. i what he had
seen. b 4
"Oh, Tom," she cried, "I'll do any
thing ter you, if you won't tell a soul
that Beauty did it. .Please promise
me."
Toni was of a practie - inn of mind,
and inclined to be mercenary. - Ho°
couldn't see why May didn't want -it
told. However, on the promise of a
new jack-knife, tin agreed to "keep
mum."
Tom kept his part of the compact
faithfully, only I must 883 , that he in
dulged in u 'great many mystarions
winks; and, when Mr. Morwood sat in
the parlor with his mother and May, he
would practise gymnastics of a peculiar
I kind, where no one but -May cutd see
;;; • •
When Paul Morwood rose to read the
first hymn, on that eventful Sabbath, a
feeling of human .;loneliness fell upon
him, though God was With him, and
that gave him great peace; but . there
were no eyes looking up at him through
the rose-hued glasses of, hopeful Ow,
tion; no heart woul4 quicken its belting
because he was speaking; and in thO
days that came after, befell deep
ly unhappiness of being surrounded
by strangers; but gradually he began
to find at the. Grays an atmosphere of
home. Mrs. Gray had that delightful_
motherliness whiCh includes all the
young in its watchful { - affeation. Mr.
Gray was a sympathetic friend, and a
man. of wide culture. Tom, .with hie
boyish prank's, supplied another ale
meat; _and bray He had not yet
ackriowlealged , hoW r..much of the
tion lay in her presence.
Strange as it may seem, -it is never
tintless true, that frequent! as were 'his
calls, there was one member . of the
family be had never seen—Beauty
eitner stayed away, or was kept out
,of
sight; and May seeata I t have taken s it
dislike to the once be.lov;:.l pet.
Ono morning, Mr. Morw,aht ("ailed
in haste to ask May - if
. slio had seen a
handkerchief he dropped there the
. evening before; he said it was one he
Valued, because his sister had embroi
dered . his initials on it, and "it was the . l
last thing ebb ever did for me,"' he
addded. May hail. uoticedithe crape
on his hat; sho searched everywhere for
the handkerchief, but in vain. .
"You seem destined to lose some
thing almost every time you come here, ".
saidMuy., . And he smiled to himself as
he'answered; "Yes."
Not long after Tom came running
into the parlor; with the remnants of a
fine,• cambric handkerchief, 'on one
airier of which Mr. tlorwood's initials
were embroidered. .
. "I found. • • fire. kennel," he
cried: "Beauty was tearing it into
strips."
"Beauty? said Mr. Morwood.
"Yi:s,":. replied Tow.: "May's pot

saw him, but didn't know, what it was '
tillAoo late; and:May, She hired me not
to toll." . . .
May had stood perfectly quiet.; look
ing imploringly at Tom, . while that
young savage told the story through.'
Then she ran out of the room, and did
not stop until, out-of breath, she reach!
ed her own apartment, and sat down for
a '!good cry."
. Her mother; she 'knew, would make
apologies enough. She aid not care
what was said, only she never wished to .
see Paul Morwoed•agaiu: . What must
he think ofher, and her Silly, childish
performances ? •
"Oh, I wish you were some one else!"
she said to Iterself"so I could shut you
up."
.When May came down to tea - , that
night, there were suspicions indications
around' heteyes, and her little nose was
red. Happily, Tom had taken his sup;
per in his hand,-and gone to watch for
a cat, that was suppo.ed to kill - Chick-.
ens as they had lieen,disappesiling, one
by. one, for several weeks past, so no
remarks were made.
Days went - on; and .May kept her
resolve not 1 to meet the minister.
When she saw him coming up the walk,
she vanisher. She hurried out of
church befOic- he had an opportunity to
speak to her.l
,'then he Begun to realize
how interested 'hoshad become in her;. how he had delighted to watch her
kindling face; .bow he hudtcome to look
to her for au inspiration that only tier
presence gave; and he knew that iu les;
iug the.hope of winning her, he lost
that Which' had added to his life, for
months past, a brightness, a aweetne sit
it had never known.
He hild spent a year only at Bloom
ingdele-when he received and . accepted
a church in a distant city: Every one
could see that a change. 'was good for
him ; so thin rte had become.
It happened; somehow, that when he
went over to the Grays' -to bid them
good-by, May sat alone by the same
window in thee - parlor Uthere:.he saw her
the first time. She was very much em
barrassed as she rose to meet hini.
"I came to' say good-by to your
mother. I did not hope to meet you,
Miss Gray," he said.
May blushed, and stammered some
thing, they both knew to be untrue,
about not • having met him more fre
qtiently„ and regretting that her mother
was not at home.
'Why do you leave. Bloomingdale?"
asked May, . trying s to say something
commonplace. •
"I think I may r_ tell you the whole,
"reason," he said, with a look,. of en
treaty. "My. illness is, of Course, part
of it; but my life here has been a con 4
tinned disappointment to , me;" and
then, looking-at the sweet face oppositO
Win, he added, "oh, Miss Gray 1 May
Why have you been so unknd to me?
I used to think you' were mi.friend." .
"Oh, I ank! I am !" said May.
He went on without noticing.. her
little exclamation.

might learn to caret for me." .
"I do 1 I do. ,pried'poor May, forget

cept 'him—her love for him—her wish
that she loved him.
He looked at her a moment, and
read the whole story in her glowing
face; and an hoar' later, when Tom
came into the hall, followed by .Beatity,
and saw a tableanin the parlor, be said
sagely to himself, "Hat, handkerchief
and heart ;' fur Tom is deep in the study
of 'English' literature,,and his conversa
tion is embellished with quotations from

• Three months later, at the weddink4..
breakfast, Tom asked his sister if she
had seen Beauty within a week, "he

ded, "I didn't give np about the old cat
that caught - the' chickens; I watched f6i
her, saw her, come stealing, out, and

It was announced in the leading
journals of Paris a few mont&i ago that
the only daughter and: heiress' of a
Lowal (Muss.): millionaiin was soon to
marry' one of the Bourbons, a conhin of
Don Carlos,. of Spain. Bat the mar
riage never occurred, because the Yan

called every day last . winter at the hotel
where the young woman resided.. In

that the nolde Prince actually went upon

the 'Prince sent it formal demand, or, to
speak exactly, 'several demands by. his

LOOKING For, HIM SELf —lrbe ludi
crous spectacle of a man looking' for
himself - awl suffering the keenest cha
grin at failing to find himsellwas exhib
ited on the Union Pacific Railroad not
long ago. An eastern-bound emigrant
train stopped at Rock break Station for
breakfast. One emigrant strayed
and the first section of the train started
without him. He reached the second
on time find managed to get away. His
friends in the first Section of the train ,
missed him and were seized with a
dread that he had been killed. The
conductor telegraphed to the second
section to look for, him and bring, hitn
or:his body to Laramie.- The . passen
gers turned , out readily to aid in the
search Foremost among: them and dis
playing a terrible anxiety- was the man
for whom they Were .looking. He
hiniteal for the .rni'ssinv, emigratit with
a zeal which could only be accounted
for by the fact=unknewn' . to him—that
he was looking - for himself. 'During
the whole: day'and following night the
search Wtis continued, the unconscious
cause of it suffering deeply to think
that he had been lost.; When he-reaCh

'to his - friends, .That the railroad em

missing emigrant, when one bright in

for and haci failed to find himself.
TAKING ADVANTAGE OF AN ACCIDENT.
Three men• of war ,ships—Dutch,
French, and English—while andhoted
in port, were contending with each
other for the best display of sailorship,
so that the captain of each vessel deter
mined to send aloft; ant active-sailor to
perform some deed of grace and daring.
The Dutch captain sent:a Dutchman,
the French a Frenchman, and the En
glish an Irishman. The Dutchman
stood on the top of the mainmast with
his arm extended. The --Frenchman
then went aloft and extended both
arms. Now the Irishman thought if he
could stand on the top of the mainmast
with a leg and an arm extended he
would be declared the most daring sail
or. Nimbly he climbed aloft Until he
reached the highest point, then he care
lully balanced himself on both tees
tended his right hand with a graceful
motion. Then ho threwout his left leg
until it came into a line with his right
aril. In doing so he ingloriously lo 4;
his balance and fell from the mast,
crushing the rigging toward the - deck..
The various ropes with which he came
in contact broke his fall, but his velocity
was not too greet-to prevent his grasp
ing a rope attached to the mainyard.
To this he hung for two seconds, then,
dropping lightly to the deck, landed
safely on his feet. Folding his arms
triumphantly, 'as if fall and all were in
`the programme, he glanced toward the
rival ships and joyously exclaimed,—
"There, bete thafif you can !"

A correspondent tells of au amusing
incident that Occurred last week on the
train that was crossing the Rocky
Mountains: A traveling peddler under
took in the ears to sell a large' "dia

this pile. "Humph," Wahl the miner,
' after critieally examining the ring,.
'.they've got common stone ill) in` the
digging where I've been that'll cut that
diamond all to pieces !" • "If you'll find
a piece of keno that will cut thafaite•
mond Pllgive it to you," >replied the
peddler. ."All. right," said
. the m iner,
"if I can't cat that 'diamond' with it.
stone I'll buy it of you." Thereupon
the miner took the ring in'hisland and
'pulled from his vest pocket ! a small
,piece of brown 7 looking stone, similar to
a bit of dark - flee-stone, except the
grain was very fine; and with this he
proceeded cooly to • cut and:scratch the
--fdiamond' with several ugly-looking
gashes. A . group of passengers that had
gathered about the miner were amazed,
but while they smiled the peddler with

benevolent fruit raiser, much annoyed
by the - boys who robbed hitu of his
finest peaches, one day chanced. to see
a minute marauder go up into one of
his trees.. He was ready for the emer
gency, for he' had provided a" iiirge
stuffed dog, which ho placed at the'foot
of the tree, and then retired a little to
watch the effects of his 14 frategy. The
little boy, having filled his stomach and
his pockets with fruit, was about to de
scend, when hiS frightened eyes rested"
upon the 'animal. ' First he: tried
blandishments,-viz., whistling, coaxing:
Then he tried the sterner dodges; viz.,
threatening, scolding. All was thrown
away upon the stuffed , dog, standing
sternly there, and never moving his stiff
tail an inch to the • right or the left.
The little boy had never lieen,a dug like',
thaE, and after a=while- he understood
that the tree must be his tiOrmitory fOr
the night. The hours dragged wearily
on. The stuffed dog looked bigger and
bigger in the dark. There was a plenty

A sudden spurt of rivalry seized two
caterers, who began to underbid each
other in the liveliest .way. When the
prices came down from $2, a cover to

cents, the students' committee began' to'
meditate cfosing a bargain lest the gen
erous man should repeat his rashness
and retract. While 'they still delayed ,
there came another bid- that eclipsed
anything yet. An entelprising soul,
reluctant to let }anybody: take his trade
away, was willing to supply the-supper
for nothing—drinkables - only to be
charged extra. "We had some thought,"
said one of the partakers afterwards,
."of waiting to - see whether the other
fellow wouldn't come around presentl y
and offer to pay' us a small bonus - for
condescending to' dine with him; but
calmer 'counsels prevailed and .we de
cided not to ride a willing horse to

good one; its cheapness' warmed our
sympathies; we resolved at an early

watch his opportunity to return, for the
cruel mortification, changd in her own

plate of dried beef was handed to- the
lady, who unceremoniously took some

plate. .
"Wait•ta !"exclaimed the gentleman,
in turn, "bring another filate of beef;

A most ungallant roar from all the
