Beneath His cloud of flowers.

Kor Mnltten faltli, and hope untimely slain,

If ever thing were real.
No picture on the canvass,

None of the nameless little shams
That stem ot life a part.
The clouds that paint tho heavens,
With ever shifting bcenes,

To wet the earth w 1th rains ;

No day dreams for the morn of life,
No memories for old age.

wns a regular bachelor breaVfn.st, order
ed with the excellent taste that Paul
alwavs displayed when his pecuniary
circumstanced would permit. The dishes
were delicate, the wines excellent and
thu coffee miraculous. Tho company
were well-assorted also, embracing two
artists, two musicians, three writers and
an actor all men of esprit andcultiva
tiou.
After a breakfast of tins description.
I have observed that the tendency of
the conveisatior, is L'enerally toward
the abstract and iesthetio tone. After
dinner a party of young men liko to bo
material, ilieytaik, ot course, nnicii
about women, una rente tneir exper
iences, their conquests, thcirdisappoint-
ments. their ucieat.s and their adven
tures with the other sex, in a charming
ly naive mid candid way making the
chat really delightful, when the parties
are retiueii ami tastuiui. nut, in mo
morning, after a lighter meal, the intel
lect exerts a greater power than the
senses ; and the subject of discussion is
always presented liom a more meta
physical point of view.
1 he viands were oemonsiieu, me cor-f-e
urn emptied, and the guests satis-lii-il.
A few tall, slim-necked bottles of
light wine stood upon the table; around
which we sat in indolent and eay pos-
I Hires, listlessly smoking our cigars.
'I met our host yesterday, said iiiax
Van Ileyden, the artist, "with a most
beautiful and gorgeously attired maiden
on his arm. They were taking l?ro:id-
wav in suleudid style, 1 can assuro you.
Everybody turned around to look at
tliem as they passed.
"Ah. ha! Something new, eh, Paul V

"Who is Marie?" asked the artist.
'Marie Coventry, the actress. I
thought everybody knew her."
"Yes; evervhciiy who Knows you,
I t-uitgested.
"Pardon tho ignorance of a poor
painter, just from the distant and face
tious citv of Cincinnati. I am not au
ipiainted with the fairer portion of your
ret yet, remember.
"Hasn't she a lovely nice iora picture,
Max !" asked Cecil D.mchc, the other
artist of the party.
"She lias so. 1 should UKO to many
a WHO UKO lliai ami pass iuu leuininiu-i
of my existence in painting portraits of
her."
"Well," said Paul, "I guess you can
marry her if you try. Women general
ly don't K-ein" to object to tho matii
inouial condition.'1
"Never! never! never! cried all 111
chorus.
"But has she no cavalier already no
happy man who rejoices in tho posses
sion of her heart's best affection and
u that sort of thing i"
"Yes: our friend Paul is iho loadstar
of her love," said Sum Ilaekett, the
pianist. "He reigns over that chame
leon and intense instrument, her heart,
just now.
"1 don t Know now long una uiiuy
will last or what will come of it. She
has loved Paul now neatly three
months," said Forsyth.
"I scent a marriage, added -'lacKeii.
"Never! never!" cried the rest again.
"I am provincial." said Van Hoyden,
"and I suspect, too, that the slow Ger
man blood transmitted by my ancestors
makes mo a little hard of understand-
imr. Therefore. I must confess that
you talk of love and marriage as dis
connected mutters in a way that sur
prises me. I thought that people al-
ways married wnen iney were ;u love.
A round ot laughter greeted mis uu
of iroiiiu humor.
"If I understand auulit,' pursued
Van Ileyden, "this liidy Miss Coven
tryloves our host, Paul Kydert",
"Uapliirousiy i
"Incessantly !"
"Copiously!"
"Eternally !"

"No." Ba'ul 1 1 "tho physiology of tlio
human heatt goes deeper than thu gus
tatory nerves. There aro various planes,
or spheres, of love. Tho conjugal or
nionogaiiial is perhaps mo nncsi uio
most intense Then comes tho amical
that pure, intellectual Iovo that re
sembles the wannest friendships among
men. Then tho social that consists
of admiration of beauty, brilliancy, etc.,
mingled with a little passion, and co.
mentcd by that (indefinable, ltiovitablo
attraction that causes ono sex lo gravi
tate unconsciously toward iho other."
"This is indeed mysticism," said
Dasohe; "how about tho flirtation
tilanet Your classification is lncom-
i.lete."
"No s the social is the plane whence
flirtations arise. That is tho piano of
Paul and Marie."
"I mn idad to learn it." said Paid
All this conversation, with much
more of tho same class that followed,
was duly treasured up in the boom of
one of tho company a musician, named
I, isle, who was himself toucneu py
Marie's bright eyes, and therefore in
elined to be iealous of Paul ltyder.
When the latter next called upon the
fair nctress she received him with an
odd mixture of friendliness and cold
ness which ho could not possibly under
stand. The fact was that everybody
had been reported by Lisle, on the
principlo that all is fair in love and
war a principle l couin never see me
truth ot.
Mario had intended to reject Paul's
next dinner invitation with melo dra
matic scot n ; but when ho asked her,
she thought of those dear little birds on
toast ot chatnpagno fiappe of nier-ingues-a-la
cremo and hor indignation
faded. She went to dinner, swallowed
her anger with tho comestibles, and
was once more on thu best of terms
with the young journalist.
15nt Paul was exceedingly frank
among his associates, and often express
ed his sentiments as freely as at the
breakfast party I have described ; so
Mario heard, through Lisle, of many
light and flippant remarks concerning
her. Of course, her pride or vanity,
or something of that sort, was wound
ed; though a moment's reflection would
have shown her that she had ram in
exactly the same leger estimation.
Not being given to reflection, however,
or, indeed, to any kind ot analytical
thought, sho was very wroth; and with
tlio skill of the expert actress, concoct
ed a plan whereby sho might first de
tect, then expose, and, lastly, humiliate
him a truly feminino revenge.
If Paul was insincere, and trifling in
his expressions of devotion, he certain
ly was not miserly or mean in material

Margaret, the Mother of Oriminals.

which has been duo in tho conception
and mainly in tho execution to the
charitable work of Miss Louisa Leo
Schuyler, of Now York City, tho lead

as loiiows:
At ono of tho meetings of tho Asso
ciation, when tho subject of preventing
pauperism by giving a proper training
to tho children of paupers was under
consideration, Dr. Elisha Harris re
lated tlio terrible story of "Margaret,
the Mother of Criminals." It lias
been published in thu newspapers, but

"Good day.
Tho dinner was ordered and Paul re
turned. Ho found Marie alone, in
splendid spirits.

"No. Ho asked mo all sorts of quos

A few days afterward Paul told mo

Stopped His Paper,
Now a-days when a subscriber gets
so mad because an editor differs with
him on somo trival question that he
discontinues his paper, wo remind him
of a good anecodoto of the late Horace
Greeley, the well known editor of the
New York Tribune. Passing down
Newspaper How in New York city
ono morning, he met ono of his readers,
who exclaimed :
"Mr. Greeley, after tho article you
published this morning, I intend to stop
your paper."
"Oh no, ' said Mr. Greeley, "don't do
that.",
"Yes, sir, my mind is mado up. I
shall stop tho paper."
"The angry subscriber was not to bo
appeased, and they sepcrated. Late
in the afternoon tho two met again,
when -Mr. (jreeley remarked:
"Mr. Thomas I am very glad you
did not carry out your threat this
morning."
"What do you mean ?"
"Why ) on said you wero going to
stop my paper."
"And so I did. I went to tho of
fice and had my paper stopped.''
"You aro surely mistaken ; I have

was running and business was boom

""Sir," said Mr. Thompson, very pom
pously, "1 ment I intended to stop my
subscription to your paper."
"Oh! thunder 1" rejoined Greeley; "I
thought you wero going to stop the
running of my paper, and knock mo
out of a living. My friend, let mo tell
you something : Ono man isjustoue

Turning Negroes White.
A Cincinnati physician, ono Dr.
Quirell, has discovered a drug which
turns tho negro's skin to white. The

couple meet at their respective houses
or villages and there march toward
each other. When they arrive near
tho marriage ground generally inter
mediate space between tho two vil
lages they halt within about a hun
dred yards of each other. Tho
brothers of tho woman then go across
lo tho opposite parly and bung for
ward thu man and set him down on a
blanket spread upon the marriage
ground, Tho man's .-isteis llu-n do
likewise by going over and bringing
forward tlio woman ami seating her
by thu side of the man. Sometimes, to
furnish a littlo merriment for tho oo
cision, iho woman is expected to break
loose mid run. Of course she is pur
sued, captured and brought back.
All parties assemble around tho ex
pectant couple, A bag of bread is
brought forward by tho woman's
relatives and deposited near her. In
liko manner tho man's relatives bring
forward a bag of meat and deposit it
near him. The man's friends and
relatives now begin to throw presents
upon tlio head and shoulders of tho
woman. Theso presents aro of any
kind that tho donoischooso to give, as
articles of clothing, monoy, trinkets,
ribbons, etc. As soon ns thrown they
are qukkly snatched off by tho

Sho has been taking tho niedicitio for
three years. Thu color of the altered

might bo something peculiar in the
woman's caso which affected thu skin.
Dr. Quirell has experimented on a
negro boy who camo to him for treat

uso of tho same drug. Shortly after
it was administered tho whito blotches
began to appear on his skin. Tho Doo
