LILLIAN'S 'LOVER,
She arrived at Briarbanks late 'in . :the
evening, and, after being coddled with a
cup of tea and' custard, retired to her
pillow without More ado. Consequently
she was somerbh st surprised on entering
her aunt's breakfast room, to find a
handsome young man—dressed 'in home
spun, of course, but not one whit less
handsome for that—seated at her nunt's
table.
,
"Good Morning, 'Lilly," said that
lady, " I liopo you rested well. You
look as fresh as a rode jest blowed. This
islohn Yarmouth, Lilly."
"Indeed," thought Lilly ; "one would
suppose Jobb Yarmouth to be a person
of renown. It's as if she bad said,
This is John I3unyon, Lilly,' or 'John
Milton,' John Yarmouth, forsooth I I
never heard of him." Then " Good
morning, Mr, Yarmouth."
- John pushed away his chair, rose to
his full height, -and held out a brown
honest hand awkwrirdly enough, for Mrs.
Andrews had not told him that Lill was
under her . roof: "I hope you will find
Briarbanks pleasant," he said.
"I mean to find it pleasant,'" said Lill.
"And the saying is, when .a woman.
says she will, sho will!" .
" And when she won't, she won't I"
added Mrs. Andrews.
"Oh. I don't know about that 1 I
think she can be persuaded then."
"That is encouraging," I‘.ughed" John
Who inn ?" asked Lill, when he had
gone out.
"He's Mr. - Andrews's brother's nopli
ew's second cousin. He manages the
farm for me. Your uncle Jacob set • a
great sight by him. He's an uncommon
young _fellowfor these parts, or any
ethers."
" He's- uncommonly handsome," ac
knoyleciged Lill. By-and-by'sbestrolled
into the best parlor, where the blinds
were draivn, and a strong odor of black
pepper and camphor prevailed against
the moths that dared to forage on Mrs.
Andrews's three-ply carpet.
"An organ cried Lill,. stumbling
upon it in the dusk. "I never know
you played, Aunt :Rhoda. It wasn't
here when I came before."
"It's John Yarmouth's."
"Oh I What does ho do with it? Keep
it to look at, or'for visitors?"
'• Why; lie plays on it to be sure."
"'Plays on it 1 With those, great
lauds I"
"I guess that don't hinder him. -;Why,
child alive, ho plays for,the Choir in
meeting ; and when thy had* the gMat
festival up at the city they sent ,for him
to come help 'em out with it. I can tell
you he's got a voice that goes jest to the
right place. When I hear him it seems
to mo I should like to have him go on so
for ever and ever."
"Seems to me you and Uncle Jacob
are in love with him," .said Lilly, pertly.
" Well, you jest take, carp that
.you
don't catch the dyetuper:
.You won't

ashamed of it neither."
''DiereSr, -- Aout _Rhoda! conic

"Very likely; but folks often gets

.Aunt Rhoda proposed that theyelioald
take Lill over.-to .Ruhy.gountain ,that
afternoon; them- rOnlembering - that she
had-invited company to tea, backed out
of the affair, and left John as the ,solo
escort. . •
" You might call in on your way and .
take Bossy Bell along with you," she
suggested. But.when they had driven
half the distance John suddenly reined
up and said : • - -
"I beg your pardon,: I didn't call for
Bossy Bell: "nail Ntolo back fur liar?"
' "If you want h0r...1f she's favorite
of ' , yours," returned' Lill.. And John
whipped up the horso and drove on. Lill

but she must not think of 'him/ because
ho is poor, or—something, no matter

"Would that keep you from thinking

"Nonsense, I am ' not' speaking of

John had business at.the market town

furnished a noble example—what a pity
that she had not been able to match it.

before the' mirror to take a look at her

When,Lillian recovered froin the pain

"The ancients believed - in the ordeal

"Because fire destroys whatever is not

BEHIND THE SCENES.
"Four o'clock, .and no Ellen yet 1
What can detain her that is
usually afore punctual thr the clock it
self I"
ItWas scarcely a room in which Laura
.Avey was sitting—rather a magnificent
bay windo'w, with draperies of embroi
dered lace.
"Poor Ellen I" she murmured, "how
differently our lots have boon ordered in
this world. Her parehts deidthoir

proud to accept a cent that she has not
'laboriously earned. Oh 1 dear," and
Lauta sighed again, just as the clock's
liquid - voice chimed the - half lour. -
" Slie doesn't come," soliloquized the
puzzled little . damsel. - There's -some
thing-the-matter porliaps_sho_is_c sick#
oh yes, she is sick I I'll send James to
inquire—no, I'll go myself."
"I don't think it's going to snow,"
she pondered, looking out at the gray
threatening sky, as she drew' on her
perfectly fitting kid gloves. "At any
rate I shall walk very fast."
As she came through thO softly car
peted vestibule, a servant approached
her.
" A 'nott Laura—it came five
minutes ago."---)
'Ah I the rose was several shades in
the back ground now, as Laura Avery
broke open the scented seal, and glanced
over the delicate, cream-colored sheet,
with a bright, half-suppressed smile
dimpling the corners of her mouth. Yet
the note was a very simple one after all.
"IFr DEAR MISS AVEnY.—May I
promise myself the pleasure of accom
panying you to hear the now opera to
night? Unless I receive a message to
forbid me, I will call for you at half-Past
seven. Your most devoted slave and
subject, " " FLORIAN RICILEY."
Laura instinctively slipped the note
into her bosom, as if foarfullest the very
pictures on the wall should catch a sight
of the elegant chfrography, and pursued
her way down the gloomy Arcot, with
eyes that saw the gloomy :atmosphere
through a radiant glow of col/cur de rose.
"Como hi I" said Ellen Waynall, who
was lying on a little white bed in' the
corner, when Laura Avery's gentle
knock aroused her from one of her sad
meditations, "Laura l is it possible that
this is you,.dear 2'.'
For Laura's arms-worn clasped around
her neck, and her warm, rosy lips
pressed to Ellen's *an cheek.
"Yes, it is I myself,. and none ; other,
Noll I could not imagine why you did
not come to fit that dross as you had ap
pointed ; but I know the reason now.
Nolly, you aro sick—why did you not
send to me ?"
"I am not very sick, Laura—at least
I have not suffered much pail{ until to
night.; and the doctersa:ys if I only had
wine—No, Laura, don't draw
out your purse," she added, with a
slightly perceptible sparkle in her eyes
and a proud quivOr to her lips. ",I am
not redimed so low as to accept charity.

—you know how sensitive I cannot help
- being on some points. It is only for ,a
little while ;/when I am yell enough to
take that dress 'home and receive the
money for It, I shall be enabled to pur

Laura Avery ~ , k nelt down at the friend's
bed side, with soft, pleading eyes. •
"Dear Ellen, you surely will not re
fuse to accept a temporarfloan from
me?"
Ellen shook her head' with a grave
smile.
I can wait, Laura.',l
Laura looked from the dross to Ellen
with a face full of painful perplexity.
Suddenly a,bright inspiration scorned to
strike her. '
",_Let'ms take the dress home, Ellen,"
she exclaimed. "The walk will just ho
what I . need, and J. can stop at Dufour's
on the way back and order the wino to
you. - " - You will novorho strong, if you

" Whore is it to go?"
,"To -Mrs. Richley's in Rives street.

"Nothing—only I'm folding this dross

have endured it.
"I have called to bring home n dress
that has been finished for her," she said,
in a tone ofquiot dignity.
" Oh—ah—yes. Well, I s'poso you'd
best walk in."
The servant conducted her up stairs
into a sort of 'setting room, or boudoir,'
whoro Mrs. Mobley, a partly dame of
about fifty, gorgeously dressed in crimson
silk, was sitting in her easy chair in
front of - a glowing coal fire. Laura was
inviardly grateful that the gas had not
yet been lighted, particularly when she
observed Mr. Florian Richloy was loung
ing on a Velvet sofa - in one of the window
recesses. Mrs: Richley looked up-is the
- servant ushered in the new comer.
, "Well, young woman, what .do you
want ?" - •
Laura's cheek - tinged at the tono of
coarse incolenco in which she was ad
dressed, but sho commanded herself to
reply, meekly : ,
" ... I have brought home your dress,
Mrs. Ricliley."
"Where is Miss Waynall?"
"She is ill."
" Very well—lay down the dress—it is
all right."
But Laura stood herground, valiantly.
"Miss Waynall would like the money
to niht madam—it is seven dollars on
the old account and three for this dress."
"It is not convenient to-night."
"But Mr . s. Maley, Miss Waynall is
sick, and needs the money, persisted
Laura.
"There, Florian," said Mrs. Richley,
petulantly, addressing the young mad in
•tho Turkish dressing gown and elabor
ately arranged hair, "I told you just
how it would be !"
" What the dile° is the matter now ?"
snappishly asked Florian, for the first
time condescending to evince auy interest
in what was going on. ----
" Why, these impertinent dressmaking
people are always clamoring for money,
money, just when you have drained me
of my last cent !"
"Lot 'em clamor then—that's illy ad
itice,"l said Mr. Florian, without taking
the trouble to more his head.
" Just give me back that ten dollar
bill, Florian," urged his lady mother.
" You can't want it to-night."
"But I do want it, it happens," said
Florian coolly.
" You are just going to fritter it away
in some of those gambling places, or
drink yourself stupid again," fretted
Mks. Richley. It's too bad, getting Icy
money away from me, just to Midge in
tbpso horrid habits I Why don't you
earn money for yourself?"
"Easy, mamma, easy I" said the
dutiful son, lazily dragging himself into
a sitting\ posture. "Dontt lose your
temper, for it isn't worth while. This
ten dollar hill is going to help make my'
fortune—it shall take the lovely Laura to
the opera to-night."
" NthiSense—this fine scheme will flash
in the pan just like all tho rest of your
castles in tho air. She won't have you."
"Oh, yes she will, my incredulous•
mamma—just wait and see. I shall
bring her to the point pretty soon. Then
I'll pay you back the money, with in
terest, out of my lady's bag of shiners."
" And will you leave off yogi gambling
habits"? Oh, Florian, they will he the
ruin of you yet I"
"Perhaps—perhaps not," returned the
young man, insolently. "That will be
very mthch as I please."
Both the mother and her hopeful son
had apparently, entirely forgot the pres
ence of the young lady who was standing
in the dusky shadows near the door,
until this moment, when Mrs. Richley,
turning sharply around, saw - her
" What are you waiting, for?" she
asked, irritably. " I have already told
you that it. is not convenient to pay you
the money to-night—why don't you go
about yoUr business ?"
Her cheek was flushed, oven beneath
its artificial bloom of rouge, and her
chill gray oyes sparkled with rising
anger as Laura Avery advanced com
posedly forward. She took ono of the
wax tapers front its china shell and
lighted the gas with a steady hand,
whose flashes of rich rings struck Mrs.
Richley with astonishment.
"I am sorry that you cannot pay your
just debts, Madam," :She said, quietly
looking the :rimmed mother and son in
the face ; " but I am not sorry for any
ocourrenco that has had the abet of
opening 'my eyes to the true character
of Mr. Florian Richloy. I will take, the
ten dollars, sir, to my sick ?riend, as you
will find it entirely, unnecessary to go to
the expense of taking Miss Laura AVery
to CITo op o-night."
_Florian's handsome cheek had gm-own
very pale—his 'lathes quivered beneath
him, as •he mechanically took the bill
from his Pocket book and placed it in
the hands of the inipelatiyo beauty,
while Mrs. Richlby.,- sank back aghast
into thenushioned easy chair.,
Ono .desperate attempt Florian made
to retrieve his lost fortune, oven in the
moment of Sore defeat and discomfiture.'
"I am very sorry—awkward mistake
—hope you will afford me an opportunity
to explain," he stammered,'
"I require no explanation, air," was
Laura's cold reply, as she withdrow from
the apartment, haughty and unapproach
able as a statute of ice.
She hurried hoineWard throxigh the
twilight streets, with a burning chock
and a burning heart, and it was nearly
dark, when once more she entered Ellen
Waynall's room, lighted only by tlko
faint glow of the low Jiro.

WHY JACK IS A DULL BOY.
We have only to refer to "Nursery
Rhymes" to ascertain what made Jaok
a dull boy., jack was compelled to rise
before the sun and go hard to work un
til breakfast. After breakfatt ho was
kept hard at work until dinner. Prom
dinner till dark Jack was kept plodding.
Jacic was a dull , boy, therefore, because
with hiM it was " all Fork and no play."
Boyhood is full of s 4 ; but no boy has
too much sap—remember that. Tho
nature of all things requires equilibrium:
'ln turning Jack's sap into ono channel,
the growth of the lad was distorted ; ono
part of his nature dried up„and was dis
torted, and he became stupid. You can
coma-ono-side of a tree-to-collapse_by_
causing all the showers and sunshine to
fall on tho other side. You can frustrate
nature and repeal the law of development
in so much. But hi it 'wise ? • That de
pends upon what you would be at. If
you want to produce a monster, that is
as good a way to do it as any. If. you
want to assist nature to turn out a har
monious piece of work, that is tho way
not to do it. - _
Yet a man is only a boy on n largo
scale. A:full grown man is not only full
of sap, but the currents aro stronger,.
and their office in building up the, body,
and-so-giving-the- mind—a- first,rate
chine to operate with, is magnified sev
eral times: It so happens that Jack may
have had his play-spells while abo • but
no sooner does ho put on manhood than
he forgets that his bright and lusty youth
was the product,of a wise admixture of
play and work. So ho sets himself to ac
complish 'something wonderful, plodding
sixteen hours a day and sleeping ay'
much of the remainder as his overworked
body and mind will 'permit of. He turns -
MI an immense quantity of work, of
'course; and the newspapers crack him
up' as a prodigy. He Ickes to be known as
a prodigy, and the gossip of the papers
stimulates him to new labors. By and
by, when he ought to be in his manly
firime, and full Of resources, lie tumbles
over, limp and helpless.
Then the newspapers cry out that this
man was overworked. The doctots as
semble and agree upon a diagnosis.
They prescribe perfect rest. Ile must
not write ; he must not talk ; he must
not- read. Be mull, recreate and rest.
He must amuse himself, or he amused.
He must folego tragedy and take to
combdYl He must laugh—the more the
better. Exactly I But this is an at
tempt to cure, not to prevent. Had
Jack talked loss, wrote less, and studied
less ; had ho obeyed the obvious law of
development, and wisely mingled play
with work, there would have, been no
collapse. So Jack, the big boy, becomes
a drill boy, and the old saw is vindicated.
Look around you. Tlitire is no lack
of Sacks who do nothing but play ; lazy,
shiftless Jacks, who do not move the
world, but aro 'boosted along with it.
The idle Jacks are in the majority ; and
if they dO not die ley the cup and the
pistol, they manage to outlive the silly
Jacks who disdain to mix a little play
with their work. This is all wrong. At
least it appears to be wrong. The work
ers-ought to outlive the drones. Tho
bees do bettor than the men, after all.
They make it too hot' for the drones;
but the working men make it too hot for
theinselves. So, every now and then
we road that the honorable So-and-so is
in bad case. The doctors enjoy rest for
a year. Yesterday, he was bright, the
cynosure of all oyes. To-day ho is dull,
unable to think without 'knitting a con
vulsion. What is the matter? Why—
" all work, and no play makes Jack a
dull boy I"
Only the other day Mr. Chase awoke,
and found ever so many stitches dropped.
Then Mr.• Colfax fell prone at his post.
Another case of dropped stitches. Then
r. Senator Logan awoke to find that a
man cannot scream to a crowd, fofever
and ever, and retain his voice. He is,
now confined to a whisper becanse of
hemorrhages. Perhaps the overdoers are,
after all, better than' the do nothings ;,
but why should men overwork ? It is
not a fiUblic necessity by any means.
Public business \does not require such
fatal effort._ Public men seem to forgot
that no man is absolutely necessary,
When the biggest and best of men die,
the world does not come to a. halt.
Nothing better measures the wisdom of
Providence than that fact. While such
monlive we wonder what we ''could 'do
without them. They die, and or dren
ping artear of regret, -we all tickle to
and carry the world along: That is the
law. With every man in hiS'place, do
ing his duty, Unlit stands behind each
an alternate ready to step in when the
other dcops out. There is time enought to
'grow in till directions. ,Time to -work,
time to fold the hands in fret, Bine ti) .
'weep, and time to langlitime to work,:
and thno to play. 'These 'times are
equal, and he who 'deems them oth'er
wise is not wise.
,If Jock is a dull boy,
and a collapsed man, Jack is to blame.
But not altogothe.. The
~people of this
country are half mad with the idea that
a public man ought to be the humble
servant of all creation, on the least sale
ary possible.- But public' men are only
human, and .can no more violate tho
laws of health with impunity than can
the bmnblest private citizen.—Day. •
