Love's Victory. The clouds were massed in crimson glory in the west, and on them were fixed the large, beautiful eyes of Lady Florence Hammersley, who stood look ing from one of the many windows of her new home. It was the eve of her weduiug day, Scarce eight houl3 previously she had sworn to love, honor aud obey Hugh Hammersley, the wealthy manufactur er until death did them part. He it was who now occupied her thoughts, and shut out the splendid landscape, glinted with the glory of the dying day. Natural enough for the husband to fill heart and mind alike of his bride,yet a frown contracts the low, white brow, an ominous glitter shines in the wonderful gray eyes,and a scorn ful smile plays about the exquisitely curved lips, while the little hand,grasp ing the curtain, is tightly clenched. A sound breaks her revery. She qui etly turns, as the door of the room is softly opeued, and the figure of a tall, powerful man darkens the threshold. "You fiud all to your liking, Flor ence ?"he asks, and voice aud eyes alike are tender as he puts the ques tion. 14 A moment ago—yes," she replied. "I was alone." A shade darkened his face. "Aloue, Florence ? Is my presence really so distasteful to you ?" She shrugged her shouldrrs, and turned her face once more toward the open window. With one 9tride he had reached her side, and laid his hand upon her arm. "Answer me 1" he said ; and his tone was a command. "To-d*y you swore to make my happiness. I kuew that the daughter of one of England's proudest, if poorest, peei 9 would uot have stooped to the plebeian hand of the rich manufacturer's son,had it not been that the fortunes of ber house had sadly fallen ; I knew she was no hypocrite, to feign a love she did not feel. But I did not know she gave scorn for love, or hatred for courtesy. She was a woman, I a man. She bridged the social gulf between us when she became my wife. Florence, do you already regret the step ?" "Bitterly ! madly I" she cried, rais ing her eye 9 to his, and letting him see all the scorn and anger in their depths. "You say I was no hypocrite. I was, but I will be so no longer. You need not talk alone of my ambition. What of yours ? You had money, not rank, not social position. The latter I give you in exchange for your wealth. The bargain is an even one—let ns cry quits but let us have no talk of love or heart, or sentiment ; let us bury these ia a martial grave, and ou it uprear a mon ument of distant courtesy. Leave me my solitude, unless when the world de mauds it otherwise. I will uot intrude upon yours." The young man's face was of an al most ghastly pallor as she finished speaking. His hand dropped from ber arm. "Though I may boast no title, my lady," he said very slowly, "I claim nobility's truest rank—the rank of a gentleman, to whom the wishes of the woman he has made his wife are law. You have not spared me in expressing yours. Allow me to offer you my deepst sympathy for the cruel fate which tempted you to make the sacri fice on which the church this morning sets its zeal, and which I, for the first time appreciate. Happily, madam, the home to which I have biought you is not a cottage. When you wish for me, command me. Otherwise I beg you will consider your apartments your cas tle, at whose gates Hugh Hammersley will never knock, either as suppliant or iutruder. He bowed low as he ceased speaking and slowly reorossed the room. On its threshold he paused. Did he expect her to call him back, or at least to soft en her cruel words ? If so, he was wrong. His hesitation was scarcely pre ceptible. The door closed behind him —the young and beautiful woman was again alone. An expression of surprise, of almost admiration swept over her face, then the old scorn blazoned there. "At least he understands me now," she murmured, "but for a plebeian, ho did it well." Rank for money. It had been, a fair exchange, the world decreed ; and many a house, hitherto an unknown land to the young inheritor both of his father's fortune and the great work shops which covered acres of space in tha very heart of the great city, now welcomed him to its fetes and its tables. Fair women smiled upon him, and men who once would have turned their backs, listened to his opinion with at tention which grew into respect. If the young bride had expected to bs ashamed of her husband, the ex:pecta tion was destined to disappointment. Ou every Bide she heard his praise, and MILLHKIM, PA.

A letter from the City of Mexico says This] town, the scene ot many peculiar crimes, is just now agog over the performances of a thief, which are generally submitted to surpass anything on record. A few days ago several men went to the priest iu charge of the San ta Cruz Church in this city and asaed permission to hold fuueral services over the remains of a deceased friend at 4 o'clock the next morning. There was nothiug unusual in the request, for many people in this country bury their dead early in the morning before mass, and the priest gave his permission, a greeing to be present. The men then said they would like to leave the corpse in the church over night, and to this the clergyman also assented. Some time after dark the men appeared at the church bearing a colli u," which they car ried up the main isle and deposited in front of the) altar. They then with drew, promising to be there early the next morning. About midnight the sacristan was awakened by the barking of his dogs, and feeling that something must be wrong, he dressed hastily and .stepped from his room into the chancel. A dim light was burning near tiie altar, by means of which he could see a figure moving slowly on the other side of the chancel. Making up his mind that rob bers were in the church, he ran quickly to his room for a pistol, and then made a search of the church. No one was to be seen. On the altar he found every thing safe, but when he came to exam amine the images of the saints he soon saw that the costly jewels with which they had been ornamented were gone. He then redoubled his efforts to find the thief, but after half an hour passed in searching every nook of the great ed ifice, he was more mystified than ever, for he not only could not find the offen der, but he could discover no place where he could have come in or gone out. Just before he determined to give the alarm he thought of the corpse ly ing down below the chancel rail in the shadow, and the idea came to him that perhaps there might be something wrong about it. Lighting a candle, lie stepped soft'y to the bier and peeped in to the face of the supposed dead man. As be looked he noticed that the eye lids of the "corpse" twitched nervously under the light, and at the same in NO. 36.

Oyerjoyed at. finding the thief, the sacristan thrust his revolver into the face of the "corpse" and ordered him to get out. The cold steal on the man's forehead convinced him that the order must be obeyed, and a most extraordi nary resurectlon took place then and there. VV hen the man had gained his feet, the sacristan, still covering him with his pistol, gathered up the jewels, and then marched the culprit to the priest's house.where he was turned over to the police. Several soldiers were then stationed in the church, and when the thief's confederates arrived in the morning they were taken into custody. At first they denied all knowledge of the conspiracy but after a little while one of tlietn confessed and told the whole story. He said they intended to go through the forms of a funeral cere mony, and then carry their friend out to the cemetery, and, after letting him out of the coffin, bury it, and leave the country s speedily as possible. They will be severely punished. The True Meaning of O. O. D. A man who had not been long in this country was employed as a domestic in a family, and upon one occasion he was sent to the express office to obtain a package. He was about to leave with it when the clerk called his attention to the three letters CJ. O. D. Pat had no idea what the letters meant, but he cleverly guessed at them. "It's ail right," he said ; "theowld man's good for the money." "But do you know what these letters say, Pat ?" "Indade I]do. Call On Dad. It's as plain as me nose on your face." There is almost a pathetic truth in the understanding conveyed in this old story. Many a man is hounded to death by the unseasonable calls made upou him by the members of his family who are educated up to this very end by himself, at first in that fond, slavish spirit of indulgence which the Ameri can father displays towards his off spring, as if it was some kind of an un thinking meclianical pet, and after wards on the unfailing principle that they who sow the wind will reap the whirlwind. * Call on dad. Business is dull, notes must be met, but appearanees must be kept up. Mrs. Shoddy is going to the seashore. *Our girls' must go, the money is to come out of 'Dad.' At first he refuses firmly, but as one reason after another is brought to bear ou him like a battering-ram of persua sion, he gives awayi New bonnets and dresses are bought, a railway journej 's expenses defrayed, and that is only the beginning. Incidental expenses are al ways the straws that break the patient camel's back. They accumulate in heaps, stacks, and at last rise to the dignity of a monument, under which lies a pale, peaceful mau, no longer per sued by the legend; "Call on Dad." Your Calling. "I am, sorry I was not trained to some commercial pursuit," said a pro fessional gentleman to a successful bus iness friend in Detroit. "See here, young man," was the re ply, "do you really think you are sorry? Aren't you doing well enough ? Come, now, would you voluntarily give up your present calling ?" "Too old to think of a change now." "Nonsense ! Never too old to correct mistakes. But in your case I suspect you want to make a mistake instead of to correct one. I made a mistake in my early life, and I'll tell you how it was : My father was a lawyer. There were three boys of us, and every influence was thrown around us when very young to stir in us the ambition to enter pro fessional careers. We had a fine library, the tone of our home was refined and cultured, and before any of us grew up we were well grounded in polite litera ture, We had sense enough to see that father would not listen to any objec tions to a professional life,and so,under a sort of compulsion, we ]went the old gentleman's way. I was too good to be a preacher, and had too weak a stomach to be a doctor. The law was the last resort, so I took it up. After I was ad mitted, 1 whacked away at the dry and unproductive stuff for fifteen yenrs. It was the martyrdom ]of drudgery. Fin ally I made a break, went into business and have always been prosperous and happy from that day to this. You see I had found my niche,and I can say with truth that I find more pleasure iD mak ing a good sale than in pocketing the profits of it. My business suits me; 1 take pleasure in it,and I long ago mad& up my mind that my boys should follow their inclinations in the matter of a fif* occupation, no matter whither they were led.
