SAUIE UESMONO'S KKItOK.
Mra. Sydney and licr son sat over a late
breakfast one morning In early spring, talk
ing over a contemplated trip to Kuropo tlie
lady wni to take for her healtli. She was a
small, delicate woman, with bands and feet
of the most aristocratic proportions, and Bhe
worshipped 'blue blood' and good family con
nections, and boasted of inheriting the Wal
ford noo Irom a long line of aiicsctors. She
p.H very dignified in manner, and prided
herself upon her simplicity of dress upon
all but great occasions.
'There U nothing more vulgar,' Bhe would
mythan the present fashion of overdressing.
A lady reserves her luce, velvets and dia
monds for full dress, n parvenu parades Ihem
on the street. They know better in Eu
rope.' Hir son. who sat opposite her, was unlike
lier In every respect. She was blonde, he
was dark. Shs was petite, he. stood almost
six feet, with the shoulders of a Hercules.
She was low-voiced, Ills tones are clear and
ringing. She was aristocratic, "and ho was
republican to the heart's core j believing,
above all, in the dignity nf labor, and prov
lug his belief by refusing to live idly upon
his mother's wealth, and by making his own
way In tho world as .1 manufacturer. Ill
mother pleaded for a profession, it he would
be independent, but he said:
'I had rather be a good master to 200 or
oOO men and women working for mo than
to bo a poor lawyer, incompetent doctor, 0
dull preacher.'
'Worthington,' Mrs. Sidney had said, as
they lingered over the table on the morning
when tliey were introduced to the reader, 'I
must have .1 companion.
'I thought you were going with the Gra
hams.
'I am. I mean a companion of
own.'
'Oh, a maid I'
my
'.No; a mere maid will not do. It would
bo absurd for mo to start.iu my feeble health
without some ono who could be constantly
with me.
'H'ni i yes. I have seen advertisements
for what you want.'
'A lady who will bo pleasant society, aud
yet who will expect to perform some of the
duties of a maid, in return for her salary.
1 don't suppose it will bo easy to find such a
person here.'
'Perhaps not j but in U you might find
one.'
'Hy advertising?'
'ro, in tho factory. It is rather a long
journey for you, but we could be over there
by noon, for the road is good.'
'That odious factory 1' sighed Mrs. Sid
ney.
'Don't quarrel with the factory,' said her
son, good-humoredly. 'It gives me my
bread and butter. Some of these days I
may tell out uud retire ou my income, but
not yet. It is too soon, and I am too
young.'
'You know you will have my money
Worthington,' said his mother, plaintive'
'y.
'.Many long years from now, I trust,' was
the grave reply.
'liut whilo I live it is enough for both.
Tliero never was a Walford in trade, and the
Sidneys were all professional men.'
'Well, well, mother I all the odium there
is in it must be thoroughly incorporated
mi, my smuiii uy mis time. nut
wo aro wandering away from tlio subject
uuder discussion. I think I can help you to
uml a companion.
'lically, dear, I am afraid a factory girl
will not suit me.'
-remaps not; out tliero are two new
comers there who have been in better posi
lions, and who are driven there by tho stress
ol circumstances,
'Who are they?'
'One, Miss Sarah Desmond, is the dangh
ter of it music teacher in U who died a
year ago. The young lady has tried in vain
to get pupils enough to support her, 11
is not the place for her. Tho pnoplo who
ran iilmrtl music lessons for their children
either send them to boarding school or the
seminary. So, for lack of pupil, Miss Des
mond earns her living 111 the factory.'
'You said there were two. Has she a sis
ter?' 'Xo, Miss Ford is a friend, I believe. They
board together. Miss Ford has been a teach
er in the seminary for somo time, and was a

'Drive over with me this morning. It Is

'I will. I must make somo selection soon,
fiir tho Grahams sail in May, and this is the
second week in April.'
T wn or three tiours before the discussion
botween Mrs. Sydney and her son, regarding
tho proposed companion, two girls in a email
room in a boarding house in the manufactur
ing town nf H , were dressing hastily.
and chatting as they twisted their hair and
performed toilet duties.
'Did you have any answer to your adver
tisement, Sadie ?' asked one the more sub
dued and quiet of the two, whose blue eyes
were ead, whose pale cheeks bore the deep
flush, coming and fading, of weakness.
'Jsono,' replied Sadie Desmond, who was
undeniably handtomer and more stylish
looklngMian her friend. 'I suppose there
will bo no release for me from this hateful.
drudging life. How you can bear It so
patlcutly is a mystery to me,'
'I must bear it,' was the quiet reply. 'Dr.
Graves says I must not teach for a year at
least, and yet there Is tho vulgar necessity of
eating,' and she laughed a low, sweet laugh
like a child's 'not to mention lodging, cloth
ing and other such trilling matters,'
Dou't I know?' said Sadie, bitterly.
'When have I known anything but poverty,
aud poverty's bitterest straits ? My educa
tion was given me In charity by my uucle.
aud it is merely wasted in this miserable
place. The muslo teacher's place at the
seminary it taken, and father starved ou the

Poor father! lie always thought my'haud-

some face and manner would win mo n rich
husband. Itlch ? Who aro the rich mnn
ln 11 ? Manufacturers with wives and
families, and Mr. Worthlnglon Sidney.'
She blushed at this name, as If she wni'i.,1
to be questioned in regard b it, but Kflio
poru was looking from the window. Join
ing her, Sadie said:
'Mr. Sydney comes often to your room
Effie ?'
'Wo nro green hands, you know. Perhajis
he thinks wo may spoil our work,' was the
quiet answer.
'Ho is very handsome, Eflie ?'
'Yes, very.'
'Unmarried, too, and very rich.'
The breakfast bell rang, and Effie went
down stairs, with a remark to her companion
of tho lateness of the hour.
'I wonder,1 thought Sadie, 'If it is Ellie's
blue eyes or my dark ones that drawsWorth
inglon Sydney to our corner.'
Thefyoung man himself could not have
answered the question. He stood in the
offico that overlooked tho workroom when
all the looms were busy, looking through tho
window, where, unseen himself, tho overseer
could watch all thoso employed in it.
'You see,' he said, to an old lady, very
plainly dressed, whostood bcide him, 'the
two young ladies who aro at the third loom
to the right. The ono with dark eyes is the
music teacher's daughter. Tho one facing
her is Miss Ford.'
'Supposo I go in and talk with them.'
'If you wish you can do so ; or I will send
for them to come here.'
'No. I will go alone. The tall one is very
handsome.'
'Very. Sho seems strangely out of place
me, here.'
Mrs, Sydney crossed the room, pausine lo
speak to several of the busy girls, till she
stood by Sadie Desmond's side.
'Can you tell me,' she said, 'where I can
get a glass of water.'
'In the corner by tho closet, where the
hats hang,' was tho curt reply.
Eflie looked up at tho gray hairs and
said :
'If you will take a seat for a moment I will
get it for you. The clock will strike twelve
ip less than two minutes,and 1 can leave the
room.'
Jhank you, was the reply, as the
old lady took a seat on a bench near the
girls.
'Can't you find something better to do in
noou hours than to wait on any old woman
who comes in?' said Sadie, contemptuous-
ly-
'Hush I' said Eflie, with her quick, sensi
tive flush, 'she will hear you.'
Cut Sadie had noted that the old lady's
dress was of plain black alpaca, and her bon
net of straw, aud was disinclined to pay any
attention to anyone dressed in that garb.
When the clock struck Eflie hastened for
the water, while Sadie took out her lunch
eon on the bench, near Mrs. Sydney. The
old lady noticed that Eflie took a napkin
from her little basket to polish the dingy
tumbler, and rinsed it carefully, before fil
ling it for her.
'You are very kind,' she said, .is she re
ceived it. 'I am tired from walking about
the building.'
'Perhaps you are looking for someone,'
said Eflie, 'and I can help you. It is con
fusing to a stranger to find a friend here.'
'Xo ; I was not in search of any friend.'
'If you are looking for a place for your
daughter,' said Sadie, 'you will find twenty
applications ahead of you at the office.'
'Is the work heavy?' asked the old lady,
turning to Sadie.
'Try it and see,' was the rude reply. 'I
was not brought up to it. Are you going to
walk, Eflie V
'I think not,' Effie, said. 'I shall sit here
and rest.'
Sadio rose and crossed the room for her
hat, her tall, graceful figure and aristocratic
face marking her in the group of girls on
tho same errand.
Effie sat down feeling, siio scarcely knew
why, that there was a rudeiineas in Sadie's
manner that she must apologize for, by re
maining with the old lady.
'You do not look strong.' Mrs. Sydney
said, noting the delicato complexion and
varying color.
1 nave not been well, but I am gaining
strength here. You must not feelditcourag
ed,' she said, gently, 'by what Sadie said
about getting work here. If you have
friend who w Lilies 11 place, there are often
vacancies, and the work is not really heavy
but tiresome. The noise is the worst, aud
one gels accustomed to that.
'Have you been here long ?'
And so from question, Mrs. Sydney drew
forth the Bimple overy-day story of orphan
hood, early struggle with poverty and failing
health, but not one complaint. The two
were talking earnestly in the deserted room
when Mr. Worthiugton Sydney caruo from
tho office to their bench.
'Well, mother,' he said, after bowing to
Eflie. And the young girl arose, blushing
deeply in her embarrassment.
'Sit down,' said Mrs. Sydney, kindly.
'1 ou ,eo I do not want a place here for a
friend ; but I have business here, notwith
standing."
And Ellie believed she must be dreaming,
when offered tho position of companion to
Mrs. Sydney, at a liberal salary and the
promise of European travel.
"Can you como to me tn morrow?" 'the old
lady asked ; "I shall need your services In
preparing for my travels."
Aud before the moon was over Eflie was
driving in Mr. Sydney's carriage to her
boarding house, to prepare her belongings
lor an early start in the morning.
'She is lovely, Worthiugton, said Mrs.
Sydney to her sou, as they drove homeward,
'and the voyage will do her guod. To think
of her being ill a factory I Why, her moth
er was oue of the Marstons, of Providence.
Am I supposed to be overpowered?'
laughed the young man.
Ilut really, Worthington, she is of good
family,' said his mother earnestly. 'Her
father was a Portland Ford. 1 know the
family. Poverty never appalls me, but I
must confess I shrink from vulgar blood.
Miss Desmond is haudsomo and stylish look-
lug, but sho Is uot a lady. Miss Ford is a
geutlewomau, as the English say, a lady at
heart,'
Sadie was mortified when Bhe heard to
whom she had been rude, but, after all, there
was consolation. Mr, Sldnej was not goiug
to Europe with his mother, and black eyes
might look more bewitching If the soft blue
eyes were not near, She knew that she was
very handsome, and If Mr. Sidney resented
the rudeness to his mother, there were two
years to undo the impression, 1
16. 1878.
Circumstances came to S.ulie's aid. The
uncle who had paid for her education died,
left her an Income, small Indeed, but enough
to savo her the necessity of further work.
Sho took a small house, and an aunt came
to live with her ; and here, with perfect pro
priety, site received occasional calls from
Mr. Worthington Sydney. liut the ambi
tion to be rich which had just filled her
heart gave placo to a deep lovo for tho young
and handsomo manufacturer, who never ex
ceeded a polite or gentlemanly courtesy In
his attention. '
In vain sho exerted every accomnlhh.
mentforhis admiration-playing her choi
cest music, singing her sweetest sougs. In
vain sho chose becoming dresses, and decked
her rare beauty for his eyes.
Ever before him was the mjmorv of his
mother's words, and involuntarily lie tracod
the little sighs that always told of a cold
heart and uttered selfish disposition.
But over the water came to him letters
full of the praises of the gentle companion
who accompanied his mother.
'You would scarcely know Ellie,' tho old
lady wrote,wliensho had been a year abroad;
'she has regained herhealth.and hers is that
rare delicate beauty that unfolds some new
charm when least expected. She is so mod
est and retiring that one must watch closely
to see how well educated and accomplished
she is. Imagino my delight to find she knew
French as well as I did and has couquered
Italian in .1 wonderfully short limn. Her
music is the rare, real music that comes
from tho heart ; and the tears often rise in
my eyes when she fancies I am sleeninir.aud
plays for hours as only a truo lover of the
divine art' can play'
Sometimes there was a formal letter.signed
Eflie Ford, telling him that Mrs. Sydney
was not well and wrote by her companion's
hand. And after the formal introduction
the writer would detail tho events of travel
since the last ietter, unconsciously proving
how much she saw with an artist s eyes the
beauties of scenery she described, or took a
quiet humorous view of passing events.
Ho would scarcely otn it to himself, but
Worthington Sydney watched for the letters
from the companion with deeper and deeper
interest, sending friendly answers that told
of his gratitude fur Effie's tender care of his
mother and pleasure in her letters.
Two years passed, and Mrs. Sydney began
to write of coming home. She was in Paris
with Elfi? and wrote to her son :
'Do take a holiday, and come to escort me
home. I have no friends who aro returning
to America at this time, and I do not care
to travel alone.'
Thinking it all over, Worthington con
cluded that he really needed a little rest
and recreation, and he presented himself at
the hotel much sooner than his mother had
dared to hope. She was alone when lie was
announced ; but, a little later, a graceful
young lady entered the room, whom ho
scarcely recognized as the fragile girl in
deep mourning whohad bidden him farewell
two years before.
The palor of illness, the shifting color was
gone.and in their placo was the glow of per
fect health ; the sad eyes were replaced by
animated ones full of happiness, and the
fragile figure was rounded and graceful. In
herexquisite delicacy of feature, in the ex
pression of refinement and intellect, and in
perfect manner she appeared to Worthington
to far surpass the more striking beauty of
Sadie Desmond, who two years beforehad
cast her quiet loveliness in the shade.
Happy days flew by quickly in Paris, and
when Worthihgton Sydney told his mother
the secret of his love she opened her arm3 to
fold Effie tliero closely, calling her 'dear
daughter.'
And Sadie, when tho bridal party return
ed to I! , knew in her heart that in her
rudeness to the plainly-dressed old lady in
the factory she had forfeited her opportuni
ty to be Jtrs. Byuney s companion uy lier

Wolves in Montgomery Comity.
Several weeks ngo four wolves were ob
served near Custer Station, on the Stony
Creek railroad. They had escaped from the
Zoological Garden, Philadelphia, and all
efforts to capture them have up to this time
been without avail. From time to limo
they were seen at different places in that
neighborhood, but according to the latest re
port I hey would appear to have changed
their quarters.
One night this week, a farmer was driv
ing along tho Germantown turnpike near
llelPs woods, In Xorrlston township, he was
surprised to seo four animals about the size
of a small shepherd dog approaching. They
divided, two taking one side of the road and
two tho other. His horso stopped, tremb
llrig In every limb, and neither by blow or
command could he be induced to take a step
forward. Strange to say the wolves did not
attack the animal, but confined their atten
tion to tho man in the wagon. Tho farmer
was unarmed and in great danger, when in
desperation ho picked up a large basket
which lay In the body of his vehicle and
brandi-hed it at them. The sight of such a
strange object seemed to frighten tho wolves
who fell back in terror. He then tried to
drive on but his horso still refued to mme.
Again and again the manoeuvre was repeat
ed, the wolves returning to tho attack but
retreating at the sight of the basket. At
last the horse recovered from his panic nnd
rushed furward, the wild animals making
no pursuit.
A number of farmers in Xorrlston town
ship have lost chickens and poultry recently
which are supposed to have been killed by
the wolves. It is reported that many per
sons in that nelghbirhood are much alaruu-d
aud some are a fraid to venture into their
fields unarmed. Norristmon JcralJ.

current was firmedjliy thn notion of the sea
un the copptr-ehealiug of the ships. A tel
ephone was introduced, in the circuit 011
each, and communications established be
tween tbem. During the whole time of the
navigation conversation could be carried on
as easily between the officers of the two ves
sels as if they had been seated in tho same
cabin. The next step was to apply the tele
phone to the work of the diver. One of the
glasses of tho helmet is replaeed by a cop
per plate, in which is inserted a telephone,
so that the man has only n slight movement
of the head to make iu order to receive com
munications or report observations. The
advantages of such an arrangement are ob
vious. Frequently at sea tlio necessity ari
ses of examining tho keel or bottom of a
ship. The diver descend, and is able to
give an account of all he sees and does and
receive instructions without having to be
brought to the surface to givo explanations!
as has hitherto been the case. By the use
of the telephone a man at tho bottom of the
sea can remain iu constant verbal commu
nications with those at the surface. Hut the
most singular application of the telephone
comes from Xew South Wales, where Mr.
Severn au cuthusiastic experimenter, claims
that he has maJo the deaf to hear with it.
After describing a very simple telephone
which ho oonstructed out of a tin pot, the
closed end ot which he opened and tied over
it a piece of parchment, passing a fine string
through the centre and making a knot in
side, Mr, Severn says; "Make a loop in the
string some three feet long, put this loop
over tho forehead of tlio listener (tho deaf
man), cause him to place his hands flat aud
hard against the ears, let tlio loop pass over
the hands, and now this listener will hear
the smallest whisper, let him bo deaf or not
This fact may appear extraotdiuaiy ; it is
nevertheless, true that a deaf man may be
made to hear the voice, niulc, &c.

Torej a powerful solvent. Still, tho popular
opinion is that it is a brine. If such were
the cae, the bottom of the sea would, long
ago, have been shallowed by immense ac
cumulations of carcasses, nnd products of lho
