"Don't let your good looks turn your head, Rally," were the words that Un cle Solon said to me as he put mo on the cars and handed ray little canvas traveling-bag nfter nie. "Remember that beauty is only skin deep, and handsome is as handsome does.' The idea of saying such things to me ! But Uncle Solon always was ps culiar. My seat—next to a pleasant-faced gentleman with a black mustache and delightful mysterious eyes, just like those of Fitzalban Mantaleuibeit, in the last novel I had read—chanced to be opposite a slit-like panel of looking glass, and I could not help seeing the reflection of my own face. What was it I saw there ? A round face, all roses and lillios soft hazel eyes, with a fringe of thick lashes a shade darker than my red brown hair—a decided dimple in the chin and a trim little figure neatly at tired in brown debeige. Yes, I was pietty ; Uncle Solon was right there. And I meant that my face should be my fortune. Unfortu nately, I never had any time for books, and my public school education had gone into one ear and out the other, so I couldn't enter the lists with the for tunate governesses who are always making great matches—in story books, at least Neither could I be lady's companion, f>r my mistiess' son or nephew to fall in love with me, for I could neither play nor sing, and what ever I attempted to read about I iu var iably stumbled over the big words. But it was necessary for me to earn mv living in some way, and old Mrs. Fudgeby had sent oyer a New York paper, in which site had pencil-marked an advertisement for an "up-etairs girl" who was wanted in a house in Fiftli avenue. "You may be sure it is an excellent place," said Mrs. Fudgeby, "my niece, Helen Maria, sews there, and ftio lady is most kind and pleasant. And Hel en Maria will speak a good word for you. And if you suit,you'll get a good home and capital pay, take my word for it." (Just like Aunt Peri 9 ! Because she wasn't young herself, she had no sym pathy for any one who was. Old people were so selfish.) "But," added Mrs. Fudgeby,"Helen Maria says any one who comes to Mrs. Marcati's must step very light, and speak very low, and be careful not to laugh too loud, for fear of her nerves. She's quite, an invalid. She has just discbargsd all her doctors, and is ex pecting a learned American physician who has been ten years in Paris,to take charge of her case. But la 1 Helen Maria says it's all fancy, and that if her missis had to earn her bread at the wash-tub or the ironing board,it would be ditVereut, though it ain't a liiied girl's place to express any opinion of that sort." "Is the family large ?" said I, secret ly wondering if there was a handsome son to fall in loye with me. "No," said Mrs. Fudgeby, "a wid owed daughter, who denotes herselt to painting, and two sons." Two sons I That settled the mitter for me. 1 determined to apply for the place at all hazards. Why shouldn't I succeed as well a Jane Eyre, who by all accounts, was an insignificant little black thing without a word to say for herself V "There won't be much to do," said Mrs. Fudgeby. "You will be expect ed to make the beds and tidy up the rooms and dust the parlors and attend the door-bell. Mrs. Marcati has a deal of company, and, hy-the-by, Helen Ma ria says all the girls their are expected to wear caps." "Oh, don't I mind that,"said I,for I had once played Grisette in private theatricals, and the little blue-ribboned cap had been particularly becoming to me. "The family ae quite rich," said Mrs. Fudgfby, but they don't keep uo men help. Mrs. Marcati was robbed once by a Swiss butler, and hain't had no faith in men since. And Helen Maria says she keeps a lot of pearls and diamouds and fine jewelry locked in the etegere (which Mrs. Fudgeby pronoun ced 'ettiger') because it's a place no body wouldn't suspect. There are so many burglars around New York, you know J" And she went on to rtlate a good many family peculiarities of the Mar catis, in her prosy, gos3ipy way, but she never thought to tell me what I af terward,learned to my very great dis appointment, that both of the lady's son's weie married men. Then, of course, I made my replica tion at once, and was glad enough to learn, through (lleu Maria Fudgeby, that it had been favorably considered, and that I was to c noo to No. Fifth avenue at once. Auut Peris gave me a new shawl and a deal of good advice A PAPER FOR THE HOME CIRCLE. to which I paid very little attention. Uncle Solon presented nie with a pock et Testament and a tialf-uozen crape bordered handkerchiefs. And so I left Milliken's Falls in triumphant pursuit of that fortune which, like a will-o-the wisp, always kept just a little ahead of me. We had not gone far before I dropped the key of my traveling bag, and my newhboi with the dreamy eyes gallantly picked it up for me. "Very awkward of me," said I. "Not in the least," said he. This little occurrence broke the ic , and we soon became great friends. He told me that he hud been moose hunt ing up in Maine. I confided to him that I wis going to be the companion —I didn't quite like to say "up-stalrs girl"—of Mrs. Marcati, of No. Fifth avenue. He seemed very much inter ested in me. He said there was some thing so attractive in watching the ca reer of youth and innocence—and might he add beauty ? I said that was all nonsense. He said he could not help being frank, and he only hoped that be had not offended me. And the fruit boy came along, and he bought au orange and some bananas for me ; and next came the news agent and be pur chased a new novo' and some pictorial papers, for he said be knew by my face that I was literary ; so that, altogeth er, the journey to New York seemed a deal shorter than I had expected. I was ft little sorry that I had to!d the dreamy eyed gentleman all about the Martsatis, especially with regard to the jewels in theetegere drawer and the ner vous ailments of my new employer, e ven down to the arrival of the new phy sician who had distinguished himself in Paris. But of couise it didn't matter. Why should it ? lie wrote down .ny address when we parted at the depot and said that he should certainly avail himself of the yery first opportunity to call. 1 found No Fifth avenue without any difficulty. Helen Maria hid writ ten out the direction very carefully, and everything was far grander than I had any idea of. Mrs. Marcati, a handsome lady in a black velvet gown, j said I h;d a nice face, she hoped I would do my best. Mrs. Maurice, the widowed daughter, said she would like to paint me as Hebe. The two sons and their wives were at the country seat in Yonkers. But I wasn't so much disappointed about them as I should have been if I had not seen the dreamy-eyed hero of the railway train. I did my )>est to learn my new du ties and fultill tnem to the satisfaction of my new mistress. Helen Maria was there, and the cook, a very geuteel wo man, with a kitchen maid who did all the dishwashing and floor scrubbing, took quite a fancy to me, although the lauudress, a sour freed Scotch woman, said that I was "a deal too giddy aud light minded." Still it was quite a pleasant change from Milliken's Falls. The third day that I was there, there came a ring at the door bell, and who should stand there when I opened it, but my dreamy-eyed hero ! •'Goodness me 1" said I, coloring all "over as pink as a daisy, ".is it you ?" "Is Mrs. Marcati at home V" srid he. "No," said I ; "she has just thi s miuute driven away from the door. I should think you would have met her— in a dark blue landau, with black hor ses and —" "No matter, my good girl," said he, "I will come in and wait. My name is of no great importance. Perhaps you don't know-I don't remember that I mentioned it -but I am the gen tleman from Paris." "The new doctor V" said I. "La I and you never told me V" "Our professional secrets are not our own property,'- said he as solemn as an owl. "Please to walk in." said I. "I am so sorry Mrs. Maui ice [went out with her ma, because—" "It don't matter," he said ; "I can avail myself of the opportunity to diag nose some of the cases scribbled down in my notes. I dare say she will not be long." He drew out a pocket tablet as he spoke and put on a learned-looking pair of eye glasses ; and I tip toed out of the room, wondering how it would seem-to be the wife ol one of these New York doctors. So he was a learned man who had really resided in Paris. How good it was of him to be so inter' ested in my silly chatter that day on the railroad cars 1 did not like to interrupt his scien tific studies, but as soon as I had finish ed tidying the bedrooms, I watched ea gerly at the door for Mrs. Marcati to return. It was nearly an hour after waid when I ran down the steps',to take her shawl aud parasol, and told her that the new doctor had been waiting for ber. "That is nonsense, child," she said, sharply. "I have just come from his office, where I baveihad a long|interview i with him." "He's here, ma'am said f. ♦'There must he some mistake, mam ma," said Mrs. Maurice, and they both went up the steps and into tbo parlor. No one was theie. "Oh, dear I" said T. "He has fifot tired and stone away." "Mamma," cried Mrs. Maurice,"the etegere drawers are broken open and all your jewels and money are gone ! And the silver card receiver and the thous and-dollar brouzes, and t'e little Miessonier that Julius brought you from Europe !" Oh, dear ! oh, dear ! I don't know how lam to tell the end of the story. The dreamy eyed gentleman was a con fidence man of the most sharpe-like desciiption, and I was arrested as his accomplice and put In jail until uncle Solon came up from Millikin Falls to testify to my character and bail me out. Oh, I often wonder that I didn't com mit suicide, except there was nothing to commit it with. And the judge looked at me, with such terrible big eyes, and the lawyer asked such inso lent questions. But somehow it was proved that I didn't mean any harm and that I wasn't an accomplice—only a dupe. But of course I lost my place and had to go back to Uncle Solon. Helen Maria Fudgeby was vety angry with me, and the Scotch laundress said she had foreseen all from the very be ginning. I don't Know whether Mrs. Marcati ever got her things back or not, and I am not likely to know now, for I am determined to stay at home with Uncle Solon and churn butter and feed the little chickens and calves, for I've had quite enough of city life. Grant and the Sergeant. 'l'll never forget the first time I saw General. Grant,' said William Ransom, of New Haven, Conn., re cently to a number of men in the Foot guard's equipment room in that city. 'I was first sergeant in company C. of the Seventh C. V., commanded by General Hawlev. At that time we were lying before Richmond. Day after day we had nothing to do but lie about the camp. On this never forgotten day that I refer to I was sergeant of the guard,a detail of eight men being under my charge. _ Some of the boys had swapped papers with the rebs, whose picket line was not far from ours," and had given me the Richmond Gazette. I leaned my mus ket against the toot of a tree and, sit ting on the ground, braced by back a gainst the trunk of a tree and read. It was not long before I became deep ly interested in a story, and I forgot about the picket's duty, and even such a thing as the war. Suddenly I heard the tramp of a squadron of horsemen approaching. I saw that my men were engaged with some of the Johnnies in a game of poker. The officers did not stop, but quietly rode past, not without looking at me in a peculiar manner. Soon after a single horseman rode up. He had on a slouched bat, an old blouse, and his breeches were stuck in a pair of old boots. Riding up to me he said.* 'Sergeant, what are you doing here ?' 'On picket duty,' I replied. 'Where are your men V 'Oh, over there playing poker,' I said, nodding my head in their direc tion. 'I thought that he was a correspon dent for some paper and answered him saucily. Asking my name, regiment and company he rode awaj r . I flung a parting shot at him as he did so asking him if he was not inquisitive. When we were relieved I was called to the captain's quarters, where I was informed that General Grant had pre ferred charges against me. It was to him I had bceii impudent. When the captain told me I was under arrest, liable to be shot, I felt like sinking in to the ground. A court martial was held and I was sentenced to be shot at sunrise. In the few hours that I was in tte guard house I seemed to live over my life again. Through the ef forts of General Hawley the sentence was not carried into effect. I was disrated, however, and for three days carried a snapsack filled with sand a bout the camp When General Grant visited this city I called upon him. ' He recognized me and as I left he said: 'Always do your duty.' To live is not merely to breathe ; it is to act; it is to make use of all our organs, functions and faculties. This alone gives us the cfonSbiousness ofex ' istende. Terms, SI.OO per Year, in Advance/ The True Friend. A certain merchant had three sons. When the youngest came of age he call ed them together, and said to theua in a voice husky with emotion : ♦Now, hoys, you all go out into the world and acquire a knowledge of hu man nature. At the end of the year you will return, and the one who has acquired the best friend will receive this magnificent diamond ring.' The young men having taken the ring to a jeweler and satisfied themselves that it was not a California diamond, accepted the situation and started out. At the end of the year they returned, looking somewhat the worse for wear. The old man immediately issued his call for a mass meeting and they gath ered around him. lie called for the re ports from the various committees. The first one lifted up his voice and said : *1 had an affair of honor. I got into a|quarrel and a challenge passed. We were to fight at ten steps. My friend came forward and took ray place. He was badly wounded, but I believe he saved my life. I claim tlie ring for hav ing acquired the most self-sacrificing friend.' No. 2 then took the floor and address ed the chair : 'I was on board of a ship. We had a collision. I found myself in the water. My friend was near me on a hen-coop. When be saw me he swam off and let me have the hen-coop. We were both picked up afterwards, but he undoubt edly saved my life. I think my frend was the boss.' 'What sort of a friend have you got to'show up on P'asked the father of the third son. 'I was in a tight place,' he responded. 'I had been fooiing with the tiger, and had lost all my money. My friend came forward and advanced me SSOO, and re fused to take my ncte for the amount.' 'To you belongs the ring,' said the merchant. 'Your older brother's friend was simply a better shot. In the case of the other brother, his friend was simply a better swimmer. They took risks, I admit; but your friend has sus tained an actual, bona fide loss, for he will never get his money back. \oa gained the best friend, for he has made actual sacrifices. Here is the priceless gem of the Orient.' He Only Wanted to See. Judge Gerald Cummings is a re spected resident of Fort Worth, Texas, notwithstanding that ho is immensely stout and a member of the legal pro fession. He tried many anti-fat rem edies to reduce his weight, but with out any satistactory result. He final ly went to the Hot Springs in Arkan saw, and much to his joy he lost con siderable adipose tissue, and returned to Fort Worth in a most happy frame of mind. He thought and talked of nothing else except his loss of flesh. He went to market one morning re cently, and said to the butcher : 'Cut me off twenty pounds of pork.' The request was complied with. The judge looked at the meat for some time, and then walked off. 'Shall I send the meat to your house, judge ?' asked the butcher. 'Oh, no,' was the reply, 'I don't want it. I have fallen off just twenty pounds,and 1 only wanted to see how much it was.'— Siftings. Independence Day. There is a wide spread belief among Americans that the Declaration of In dependence was signed on the "Fourth of July." The writings of John Ad ams and Thomas Jefferson, as well as the printed journal of the Continental Congress, bear out this idea, but a re cent investigation by the chief librarian of the Boston public library,shows that we have all along been laboring under a mistake. The declaration was read and agreed to on the 4th of J ulj, but it was not signed. It was ordered to be authenticated and printed during the afternoon, and on the following day copies were sent all oyer the country. On the 19th it was resolved that the declaration be engrossed on parchment and signed by every member. On the 2nd of August nearly all the members signed it. Thorntou, of New Hamp shire, did not sign until November 4th of that year, and McKean did not sign until 1781. Of coarse no one proposes to change our day of celebration. It is a fact that our independence was an nounced to the woild on the 4th of July and that is enough. The signing of the document was of less importance. At the sixth annual commencement of the Jefferson medical college, in the Academy of Music, Philadelphia, 170 new doctors were graduated, of which 89 were from Pennsylvania.

On a West-bound Michigan Central train the other day were a delicate ap pearing young woman and an intelli gent looking young man, evidently husband and wife. Immediately behind the couple sat a man—to be found on every train—who would die if not per mitted to* hear the sound of his own voice at all times and in all places. The young lady had a troublesome cough, a fact which seemed to bother the talking machine behind bar greatly. At last he leaned forward aud address ed herescorfc : "That gal's got a bad cough," "Yes." "Ever try catnip tea ?" "She hasn't drank anything else for more than two hundred years. She caught a severe cold in Jerusalem in 1568. I had fifty barrels of catnip tea put into the baggage car Tor hot use between here and Chicago." Pause, "Lungs fR "No, bunions. That's purely a bun ion cough, you will notice, if you watch her closely." m , r5 "Ain't the draught a leetle strong from that window ?" after a longer pause. "No, she has to have it.

Our great monument at Washington, erected in memory of the Father of bis Country, enjoys the destinction of -be ing the highest monument on earth. It is over 500 feet high. But in the next Paris exposition it is proposed to build a tower higher than anything made or imagined since the days of Babel. It will be more than 1,100 feet in height, which is three times higher jthan the top of the dome of St. Peter's at Rome, and double the height of the great pyra mid of Cheops. The constructor will be M. Bouraais, the same who built the famous Trocadero Falacet the late Paris exhibition. In a recent report he gives a comparative table showing what elevations can be obtained by building with different kinds of material. The limit he places to man's power of build ing upwards is fixed by ascertaining at what time the lower parts of the struc ture will give way beneath the load resting upon them, either by becoming crushed out of shape or by cracking and breaking in pieces. And of sub stances the most stubborn in this in spect is not iron,as some persons might suppose, but porphyry. The former can, as M. Bourdais believes, be used for a building carried up to the height of 7,000 feet, while the latter might form the foundation of a pile fully a thousand feet higher. But this is sup posing that the pyramidal form of con struction is used, which is, of course, the most solid and durable. This could never be admitted at a Paris exhibition and so the cylindrical form would have to be used .which would reduce the pos sible height to about one-third. But the proposed tower would be built in several pieces, of which only the lower one would be of the expensive marble cal'ed porphyry. About Advertising. Poster advertising, rock and feDce painting, and flooding the mails with circulars ana postal cards are some of the forms of advertising which disgusts more people than they attract,and even when effective, are a very wasteful mode of reaching the public. In the selection of a proper medium many points of value might be takeh " into consideration by advertisers. News papers which are not respected and faithfully read are not good mediums for advertisers. Newspapers that are purchased to] while away a half hour on a street car or elevated railway, and are not carried home do not sell any body's wares. Such papers are no bet ter than circulars and almost as waste , ful. The experience of enterprising and sagacious business men demonstrates that the best results attend advertising in home newspapers—those which go into families aud are read by one after another in the home circle.—A*.
