MISS FMP AT THE CENTENNIAL.
Oh, Alias nip of New York city, lately wtnttosce
the show
That's held In Philadelphia this season ns you
knor-;
And the things that dimsel saw and heard, tho
things, sho learned and felt.
Would nil nn anchorite with Joy, or heart of Nero

I heard her tell her dearest friend about It all one
dav,
And 1 beg to tell tho story In her own sweet girlish
way :
"1 saw, r.h, nosy I lots of tilings. Tho trip was oh I

I wore my ecru polonaise with whits embroidered

The loveliest machinery, to grand, you know j nnd

'Twas fun to bee them working It those lovely.dlrty

My cavalier went wild n 1th rage because I watched
them so ;
These nobby fcllons nlwajs nre bo Jealous, dear

The fine art gallery, they say, Is nice as It can be :
nut really thero was such a crowd I didn't try to
SCO.
'n tho Japanese department I bought me such a
fan-
I wonder how they ever learned to make things In
Japan.
And, oh I the way I rushed around on foot, dear,
and on chairs.
Was fearful, for In such n place 'most ever body
stares.
I didn't mind, because It's only every hundred
vears
Centennials come, and no ono cares how Just one
girl appears
(So uncle said.) But ono can't help one's feelings,
nftet all.
When one's feathers all get llmpsy and one's puffs
get squeezed so small.
But It really Is, when all Is done, a satisfaction,
dear :
To have been nt the centennial, and not seem green
and queer.
And then tho silks and flowers, and cly lace- oh,

They make you mind, bectuse, you tee, they are
aw fill hard to buy.
Tosco them does expand tho mind, and give you

I saw a realllvo Turk one day (but didn't llko to

You needn't go abroad they say, for all tho world Is
there:
And really I do foil as If I'd been most everywhere.
There's cirrj thing on earth tou-such Jewelry and
lace!
I must say tho centennial Is Just tho sweetest place,
I went to I ho Troll 1'reres, and had, oh 1 such a love,

With Mr. r and Harry B. who really turns out

whose w.vs the guilt?
r.llis Tremnyne laid Im fork down with a
gesture half nf Importance1, linlf of dScoui
ngcnidit, and a frown Unit liad no business
on the forehead of a six months' mariicd
man, the hii'lund ofllio prettiest of women,
cnringatt'd liii InimKomo white foriihead,
"You biein In have not iho slightest up
prcciiition ol'iiUair", Kllie I have oxjilained

still persist in demanding money for every
trille that takes your fancy."
Kllis Trciiniyno spi ko more decisively
than KHiu had ever heard him, and she
mentally vocd him horribly cro-,-1, and
parted her rid lips and leaned back in her
chair with a very nygrioved look on her
lovely laco.
And yet it was lovely.
Mr. Treninj no thought so that same mo
ment as hi- looked nt Iho dclicato pink and
enow complexion, nnd tho large dark blue
eyes lhat had played such havoc with his
heart u year ago nt the full, cxijuiiltu lips
tli nt had only seemed iiiniln for smiles and
kisses then, that now were rapidly consum
mating their task of discovering tho clay feet
of his ido! that now were parting to utter
words ho knew were coming, that did come.
" You are just as mean and cross as can
bel What's the use of living at all. If you
can't have things like other people? I tell
you I do think you might let mo have some
money; I need it mot awfully,"
Her blue eyes certainly looked pleading
enough to give entire credence to lir asser
tions, I am almost tempted to say that cannot
be true, Kllle, since it was only a week ago
to-day I handed yoii twenty-five pounds a
sum amply tulllclent for even the most in
experienced financlor on which to keep u
family or two,"
Darker frown's we'ro gathering on Tre
mayne's forehead, but Kflie ouly answered
with a sneer:
"Twenty.fivo pounds I You upeatasif

Tremayue smiled contemptuously.
" So you hopo to rival tho wlfo of a mil.

banker, do you 1 You, tho wlfo ol a cashier
at Wlngfiold ti Son, on seven hundred a

"Inm neither discontented nor extrava

must have some money to get a new suit,
Oh, Ellis, such a heavenly shade of prune,
and you know I can wear so well ono par
tlctilar shade. Honestly,! haven't a dress
to wear to Mrs, Lamar's reception."
I.llis ate his egg with very little show of
satisfaction, ami his silence, whllo bitter
thoughts wero rushing through his mind,
was taken ly Kllie as a sign of consent.
Sho was not slow in pressing her advan
tage.
"It won't cost over twenty-fivo pounds,
Kills very reasonable, Indeed, fur I shall
inako it nearly all myself, nnd I am sure
you cannot be displeased at that. Then say
ye, won't you, Kills dear?"
A settled, white look camo around his
handsome mouth.
"If you caro more for show and fine
clothes than for my respect and the con
sciousness that you nro an economical, pru
dent wife, who is helping her husband save
instead of almost goading him into debt,
you can have the money."
Her eyes Hashed as delightedly ns a child's
over a new toy. Slio had accomplished her
desire, nnd his cold, yet touchingwords had
fallen unheeded before that
" You can have the money."
She sprang from her chair behind the cof
fee urn, and threw her arms around his neck
kissing his hnndsomo, worried forehead.
"You darling 1 I knew you would not
pay 'No,' for all you read me such a lecture
on economy. Heally, Kslis, when you s;o
how lovelv I shall look in my new silk, you
will not prudgo the money, will you ? You
like to see me look as pretty as I used be
fore wc wero married, don't you? And you
arc not angry, dear ? You do lovo me ?"
Her Bweet, girlish face, all alight with
happy enthusiasm, her eyes dancing with
such honest delicht, her smootn cheek lying
against his, and her dainty little hand strok
ing his whiskers of courso Ellis laid down
his napkin and pusned back from the table
and kissed her.
She was his wife sweet, pretty, delicate
as a mountain pink, and ho loved her lov
ed her dearly, truly, as in the days when ho
had won her, thinking what a rare flower
she was.
Ho loved her, nnd was willing, yes, anx
ious to increase her happiness, by every
honest means in his power, only Efiio was
extravagant and unreasonable in her de
mands for dress and stylo that wi re beyond
the capabilities of the well salaried man that
he was.
So now he kissed her tenderly, and then
took out his purse nnd laid a bank note on
the table-cloth.
"There's your new silk, dear may you
enjoy it."
His forbidding manner had so entirely
disappeared, that Eflie's heart was encour
aged to undertake another pet plan. So as
sho demurely folded the note away in her
pretty little crimson Ttussia pocket-book,shf
bezan so quietly that JEllis was quite cap
tured hy storm.
" I was wondering if it would not be a
good plan if wc shut up the housn for Aug
ust, dear, and went somewhere. It will do
you so much good, I'm sure, nnd there will
be no expense here while we're away. Can't
we go to Hastings?"
She opened the battery very suddenly, al
most stagirering Tremnyne.
" Oh, Kflle, no. It would involve a lar
irer cxpeme, ten times, than it costs at
hnmp."
Then seeing that well-known, martyr-like
expression settling on her f.i. e, that always
drove him to desperation, ho added, hati'y :
"If you can ni .nage it, poyourelf. I
date say some ot your fashionablo friends
rtill chaperon you,"
"Oh, may I, may I, really? Indeed, I
will manage it. I don't need many new
things, am sure. I have enough for the
ilk, and with a Utile more, I can easily get
what I absolutely need. Ellis, yon are n
darling!"
He laughed not very joyously,
" I am glad you think so. Well, I am
on"."
Twt liMiirs later; Mrs, Kllio Treinayne,

pearl-blue, or tho sunnier pink '.' I intend
toliavo a couple of them for Huntings."
" Hastings I"
Mrs. Trcmayne's cheeks gloed.
" I hope to .ee you at the chore, Mrs
Coddingtoii, and either in this exquisite
tnalzj or silver pink."
".So you will bo there? Do join our party

Hhall you get new ""
It was certainly vury delightful to be talk
ed to thus, but onco home, thero occurred
little qualms of conscience, as, very, very
gradually, sho felt herseif drawn into ar
rangements sho knew wero far beyond her
reach.
Audyot she consented to Mrs. Codding-
ton's kind oiler that Mr. Coddlngton should
secure rooms for her with his party.
Sho made up her mind that the elegant
stock of clothes that two hours before no'tl-
ed only a littlo renovation and a smalt add!
tlon to make It all that was necessary, would
nut do at all.
And so, be-iidea tho money her husband
had given her being spent In tho dozen aud
one trilling accessories that a well-dressed
toilet demands, there was folded away in a
seldom used compartment olMra.Tremayn'i
pocketbook, an unreceipted bill for fifty
pounds, inailo out to Mr. I.llis Tremayne,
Kllie's blue eye's wero dancing and her
cheeks flushed when she was set down with
her parcels from Mrs. Coddlngton's car1
rlago at her door.
Sho had time and to spare before Kills
camo in to the five o clock dinner to look
over ner purcnases, mat, alter all, seemed
very small considering that horrid bill iu
1 r pocket-hook, that sho dreaded to show
.jJer husband for all the flushed gaycty of
19. 1877.
"Ah, Istbero any need to toll him now?"
sho reasoned, while she removed her walking
sijit, and donned a lovely black tissue. ''Not
tho slightest use to tell him before I go
away. He'll ouly mako a fuss, and I do
halo a luss. Ilesides, after I'm home again,
perhaps lean savo it out of the house mon
ey." So sho quieted her conscience with theso
hopefully specious promises, and tho next
day, finding It Impossible U get ready by
herself in time to go with Mrs. Coddlngton,
was obliged In employ tho services ofa high
priced dressmaker, whoso bill for her work
sho tucked away in her pocket-book also,
and thus swelled the indebtedness of her
husband to bo paid when shoelurned.
Ah, when she returned,

with her lace-covered, pink-lined parasol,
making faint rosy shades on her clear blondo
face and brilliant uylden hair.
"Sho is n Mrs. Ellis Tremnyne, from Lon

Mr. Wingfield put his eye-glass slowly
back, staring after iho Coddlngton car
riage. W
"Mrs. Kllis Tremnyne? I suppose her hus
band Is here ?"
"Not that I know or. Indeed, I think I
heard young Belhurn say he was itnablo to
leave his business a book-keeper or some
thing I believe, for a firm in tho city."
Mr. Wingfield arose from his chair with
an odd smilo on his face.
"Mrs. Treinayne must either be mistress
of tho wonderful economy of making a
pound travel both ways, or else "
A hoy with a yellow envelope tapped him
on the arm.
"Oh, a telegram from my son, I presume.

He deliberately adjusted his glasses, and
then opened the dispatch.
"Come at once. Everything traced to T.
"Jas. WiKarir.Li)."
And as ho returned the paper to the cn
Telnpc, he looked up to f02 Mrs. Tremayno
dashing by again, her face radiant with
pleasure and excitement as Bellburn talked
and laughed with her.
The pretty little houso seemed so lonely
and deserted after Kfiie had gone, and Ellis
Tremayno threw himself wearily on tho
loungo in her boudoir, his face wearing
marks of strangely contorted discourage
ment and excitement.
For an hour or two he lay there, his eyes
closed, his figure motionless, and then ho

"This will never do. I shall go mad if I

Ho had gone over to the little dressing
bureau, carelessly taking up two little pieces

Then something very like an oath camo

Mlracnloaj Escape.
A Denvcrito named Wolfo Lonnoncr, re
cently returned from an eastern trip, im
parted to the reporter of tho Rocky Mountain
A'twi the following incident of his journey '
He was on his way west, on a train on the
Chicago and Alton Ilallroad, on tho night of
the Oth inst, nnd had n berth on the sleeping
car, all unconscious of danger, when the
conductor awoke him and asked him to come
out and seo how narrowly ho had escaped
perdition. Wolfo followed him and found
Iho train standing on tho bridge that crossed
tho Mlssissipl nt Louisiana, Mo. They led
him to tho front of tho engine, nnd there,
several) hundred feet from tho shore, was a
yawning chasm over a hundred feet wide.
The river had undermined tho third pier
from the shore, and still somo distance from
tho draw, and it had gone down, carrying a
whole ect!od of the bridge with it. The
tlrao of night was 11:45, nnd the freight
crossed safely at 11. The engineer gave tho
accustomed three whistles as ho approached
tho bridge, and tho position of the signal
lights showed that tho draw was shut. The
engineer whose name is P.McNamara, said
that as he approached the bridge ho was
seized with a strong presentiment that all
was not right. He could seo no signal from
the watchman always kept on duty at the
bridge, and proceeded very slowly. All at
once, and ho could not tell why ho did it,
tho engineer reversed the engine and stopped
his train. He got ojf to look ahead, and
found the pilot within two feet of the yawn
ing chasm. Another turn of the wheels and
ho never would have lived to tell the story,
nor in all probability any of the hundred or
more passenges in the five coaches, which
would have Inevitably plunged into the
roaring torrent fifty feet below. It seems
the watchman, who had passed over the
bridge after the freight passed, had gone on
a spree and was found drunk in the city.
The train was delayed until the next morn
ing, and tho passengers transferred.
A Happy Cooiilc.
A man should always be a littlo older, a
little braver, and a little stronger, and little
more in love with her than she is with him.
A woman should nlways be a little younger,
and a little more considerate than her hus
band. He should bestow upon her all his
worldly goods, and she fehould take good
care of them. He may owe her every caro
and tenderness that affection can prompt ;
hut pecuniary indebtedness to her will be
come a burden. Better live on a crust that
he earns than on a fortuno that she has
brought to' blm.
Neither must be jealous, nor give the oth
er cause for jealousy. Neither must encour
age sentimental friendships with the oppo
site sex. Perfect confidence In each other,
and reticence concerning thelrj mutual at-
fairs, even to members of their own families
is a first necessity.
A wife, should dress herself becomingly
whenever she expects to meet her husband's
eye. The man should not grow slovenly
even at home. Fault-finding, long argu
ments, or scoldings, end the happiness that
begins in kisses and love-making. Sisters
and brothers may quarrel nnd "makeup."
Lovers are lovers no longer after disturban
ces occur, and married peoplo who aro not
lovers are bound by red hot chains. If a
man admires his wife most in striped calico,
she is silly not to wear it.
An Earnest Life.
Earnestness do;s not nlwavs move with a
clatter, Thero nro things in this world
which are quite as pleasant and edifying as
the rub-a-dub-dnb of a snaro drum. Ii
fact this kind of melody is not generally
the highest style of music. Have you never
known a man hustling nnd officious, and
clamorous and loud, but who did not weigh
heavy afterall a thing very well understood
by every one except just the man who might
have profittcd by that piece of information?
And havo you never known n man, quiet,
unostentatious and faithful, ami who was :
perpetual blessiuir, u golden intn, deep
ouled and true, whose memory lingered
long after he whs gone, like light upon tho
hills after a gorgeous suuet ? The shallow
stream rattles in its course; hut -when it is

CLE IN IOWA.
A horrible story Is related by the Ida
county (Iowa) Pioneer ot n affair which
occurred at tho appropriately named Vil
lage of Hell's Bend, in that country. About
the middle ef November ono Mr. I ley cock
was taken down with typhoid fever, and
Dr. Rice, of Southland, was summoned to
render medical aid. The patient was get
ting along ns well as could be expected un
der the circumstances the patient being
quite low beforo medical aid was received.
One day a Spiritualist, residing in that vi
cinity, by tho name of Frank Biglow, call
ed at tho house of Mr, Hcycock, won the
confidence of the family, and boldly asser
ted that he could perfect a rapid euro upon
Mr. Heycock through the medium of Spir
itualism, providing they would let him
havo his own way. After a short time of con
sideration, Mrs. Heycock Informed Biglow
that they were at his mercy. Biglow threw
out all the medlclue prepared by Dr. Rice,
and sent tho doctor word not to make anoth
er visit. From this tlmo no medicine was
administered, save Biglow's spiritual aid.
He commenced ttlking and groaning to the
patient, rubbing his brow, pulling his beard,
etc. Mr. Heycock finally sunk into a kind
of stupor, and seemingly suffered less pain,
which lead the wife and Biglow to the brief
that he was recovering, Visitors were fi
nally forbid coming, In tho courso ofa iay
or two a few of the citizens again went to
the house and asked admission, which wan
granted. There, in tho bed, lay the dead
body of Mr. Heycock, the eye sockets al
ready turning black, Ono of the visitors)
exclaimed : "He is dead." Biglow said:
"He is not dead, but slecpeth," at the same
time ndeavoring to blow out the light. The
neighbors then suggested that the body be
laid out for burial. Biglow objected, and
said; "If my brother bo dead I can raise
him to life again," and raising upon his feet
stretching out his arms over the corpse and
lifting his eyes towards heaven, shouted at
tho top of his voice, "Come forth, my dear
brother 1 Gravel give hack thy dead!"
He tho'i kneeled over the dead body,
saying, "Open thy eyes my dear brother,"
at the same lima pushing his eyelids open
with his thumb (thinking no ono saw him),
and with a feeling of eatisfactlmi he turned
to the bystanders and yelled "Praise to the
Lord." But to his surprise, "the brother"
did not rise worth a cent. The' citizens
again wanted possession of tho body for in
terment, but the spiritual doctor stubbornly
refused, saying, "I can raise thy brother, at
the end of the third day." Heavy blankets
were then piled upon the corpso by Biglow,
to retaiu the animal heat. The doors were
locked and no lights used three days, but
what else transpired is not known. At ike
end of the third day Mrs. Heycock sent
word to a few of the neighbors to come and
bury the body. They came and among viem
were tho most stout and hardy men of the
neighborhood, but "they became faint and
sickened upon entering tho room, on ac
count of the uuendurablo stench resulting
from the decomposition of the body. Tjiey
werd compelled to bring ice from tho.riveri
which they placed around the corpso to
freeze it beforo they could arrange It in, the
coffin. Mr. Heycock was about 45 years of
age, and was recently from Wisconsin. He
was by faith an Adycntist, and was highly
respected by all his acquaintances. The
whole neighborhood is filled with great in
dignation over the affair.
Habits of Herons.
An interesting article on the habits of
tho herons of South America, by Wi H.
Hudson, appears in the Proceedings of the
Zoological Society in London. Some one
has affirmed that a mysterious light erne
nates from the heron's bosom when it fishes
in the dark, Ho thinks that this may have
some foundation, Ho has satisfied himself
