evening, and I must have a drcas suit

"Ccflnliilv, uiv dear t your father
delights in nothing so much as in see
ing you enjoy tho rich blessings that
hnve been given us. 1 love to sco you
look a very queen amout' Ihu rest. I
was sadly distuibed yesterday after
noon.' "Why, I'nna I"
And stately Anthino Elleston leaned
over the velvet easy chair, and drew
her whito fingers carelessly through
tho filky white hair of the father she
loved bo well.
Rccatise, lust as 1 was leaving my
office to step into my carriage, a little
nlnck-eyed child with ouch a tamishoa
face, put out her thin hand and bogged
lor a penny only one, because ner
nana was sick and hungry. I was tir
ed, and cold, and impatient, and I know
I had nothing less than a .sovereign in
my pocket, so I told tho child I had
nothing for her, and hurried into tlio
carriage, and told John to drivo on.
"15ut 1 caught tho disappointed look
on that child's face, and it has haunted
mo over since.
My dear father, you arc too suusi-
tivo about such things. ou nro m no
wnv to blamo. You cannot bo oxpect-
( d to g'tvo to every little beggar-child
' hi meet.
"I know that, Thcnia," that was his
pot namo for his elegant daughtor ;
"but I havo been thinking that, as
Heaven has given much to us, Ho will
expect much from us."
'Vo do all we can, 1 am sure : and
I v ould think no more about this little
incident. Tlio child will get along
w I enough. The all manago to live
in some way.
"So the ' matter rested ; neither
fathor nor daughter forgotmg it,
either when tho costly silk dross was
bought, or later still, when in the ele
crantlv annointed boudoir, Anthino. El
leston stood before tho long pier-glass,
that reflected back her stately form in
all its cpicon-liko beauty, arrayed iuthe
sea-green silk, silver tipped waves, half
hid thoii'jli they were y tne costiy
laco flounces.
Diamonds and rubies spukled on hor
fair neck, were clasped on each shapo
ly arm, and shono amid the satin-like
coils of her dark hair, that was wound
m the form of a coronet louud licr
head, ami a truiu larger than tho rest
sparkled above her forehead.
She was a beautiful woman ; she
know it, and gloried in it. Her father
was proud of her, and she strove to
please him ; but that which steeled her
heart, and made her so haughty and
reserved so heartless, as her admirers
siiiid Was the fearful blow she received
when only eighteen.
On that eighteenth birthnight the
grand old mansion was thrown open
to a goodly company, and Anthine, in
her fair young beauty, with the orange
bowers on her brow, sat waiting, with
her bridal robes around hor, for him
who had chosen her to walk beside
him down life's pathway.
J'aul Wellington was a noble tellow
manly, truthful, and upright in
every action of his lifo ; even then,
though only twenty-live, a lawyer oi
somo noto.
But on this bridal night, with guests
awaitmg, and tho Inido as bcautitul
and as loving as a bride could be, no
ono claimed tho bride.
A telegram to his distant home was
sent, and tho answer came at onco that
Paul Wellington, on tho day ho expect
ed to start for Ins wedding, sailed m a
steamer for India, without any expla-
nation whatever.
It was a fearful blow to Anthine,
but her prido camo to tho rcsoue, and
when alio went out again she was, as
wo find her now, stately, and far more
beautiful than in loving girlhood.
It is seven years sinco that night
when her lover, who seemed so noblo
and good to her, sont the chilliness of
death to hor heart.
It was past understanding and after
a time she ceased trying to compre
hend it, and sealed h'er heart to man
kind, clinging only to her father, who
ic. (lized her.
Paul Wellington came back from In
dia,camconco to Anthine,and begged to
seo her, but sho refused to meet him.
Then he sent her a letter, entreating
her to read his explanation, but sho re
turned it unopened.
lie became dUtinguished in his pro
fcssion, and occasionally they met in
society, and though Anthino could not
help noticing tho sad expression on his
face, sho invariably avoided meeting
hia glances, and when obliged to speak
to him, she did so with as much cool
ncos as politeness would allow.
To night sho knows that Paul Wei
lington is to bo an honored guest at
her friend s house, and almost uncon
sciously sho has chosen her dress to
suit his taste, as bIio remembered it so
long ago.
Now sho fastens her glows, and
nicks ui) her iowclod bouuuet-holde
in a half reverie, thinking perhaps, of
a timo when she was bride expeotant
happy for a little linio us tho brido she
was going to greet.
"Oh, will happiness ever come to mo
again t sho murmuiii soitiy to nerseu,
as sho sinks on tho carriago cushions

bano of her life. A gay frolieksonui
fellow, who:o lovo was unbounded, and
whoso love for Anthino wa3 a mixture
of teasing and ndoration.
A long timo ago ho declared his in
tention of going to sock his fortune
and a wife, and this noto Anthino holds
n her hands is tlio first they havo
heard of him all thoso long yonr.s.
It look but a moment to send tor
her father, and givo their ndictix to
thittr hostcds, and finding tho little girl
waiting at tho galo, and then direct
their drivo to tho address tho little girl
gavu them.
Uut it was a sudden chango, to go
om tho grand mansion, with its beau
tiful grounds and gaslight, and music
and toasting, only a few shoots back,
into suoli depths ol misury and lillli ami
wickodncss as thoy found themselves,
when tho carriage stopped bofoio a
tumble-down looking building, with
brokon windows nnd rickety steps.
hvon Anthino s step faltered as they
followed thu quick step of tho little
girl up broken stairways, down dark
passages, until tho garret was reached
at last, hearing at every door the vilest
oaths, and otten screams aud blows.
Anthino had often visited the poor,
and to the sick and needy had often
brought clothes and delicacies, but
such misery sho had road of, but
thought it a stretch of a vivid writer's
Imagination now sho know it to be
real.
Opening a door ttiat hung by one
hinge, they cntcrod tho room of death
One tallow candle lighted tho room,
but after the darkness of tho hall, it
seemed quite bright, and showed plain'
ly the straw bed in tho cornor, on
whuili lay gasping tho little girl s loth'
cr.
It seemed impossible that tho faded
allow laco and attenuated form could
ever havo been tho dashing and fun-
loving James.
"Uh, Tlioma, 1 know you would
como 1 I felt you must," said ho feo
bly, us he held out a thin hand to oach
of them. "Ood is good, when I least
desorvo it."'

Mr. IMIeston.
"Oh, uncle, I could not, until life

'Hush, hush, James : you were wild,
but you never hurt us, and it is folly
to talk so. You must go homo with

'Undo Anthine, your

oh, I must tell you while lifo lasts.'

hand over his fevered forehead.
"Ihenia. do you remember vour
wedding night, seven years ago 1 And
did vou over wonder why Paul nover
came to you 7
" es, yes, indeed, lei I mo, do you
know why 1 and unconsciously sho
drew nearer.
Oh, Thenia, it was some of my ac
cursed tolly. I loved you aim nateu
Paul, and was envious of him for hav
ing won what I was unworthy ot. And
tho morning boforo lie oxpected to
start for you, ho leceived a letter toll
ing mm vou wero married to your
cousin, James Holmes, aud wcro to
3tart immediately on your bridal-tour,
bidding him forget you and seek some
ono moro worthy. To that letter your
: i 'Pi.. ;
iP,l bore. You know Paul's nroud
heart, how such a blow was deatli to
him, and how ho sailed in the first ves
sel that loft the harbor.
I thought to win you then, Thenia,
but in your proud eyes I saw no 1iokj
of ever taking Paul's place, so I went
away and found a soft-voiced littlo
girl, who loved me only too well, and
only lived long enough after I called
her wile to give me a little velvet-
cheeked baby, whom wo christened
Anthine, after you ; and thoir, with
that innocent baby looking into my
eves, I wrote again to Paul and com
fessoa mv wickedness, uircotiy, with
now hopes, he camo to you, but you ro-
tuscd to see mm. no wroto to you,
but you returned his letter unoponed,
and with a saddened heart ho began
anew, striving for lamo and honor,
that you might know lie was incapable
of tho base act of which you behoved
him guilty. When ho sought mo ho
could not find me, until a few days
igo. It was verv wioked, Thenia, but
oh, forgivo mo 1 pleaded tho dyinj
man.
"It was wicked, James, but we wero
taught to forgive, spoke up her clear,
pure voice, though her eyes wero full
of tears.
Poor James Holmes was wooping,
too, as ho gathered his littlo girl closer,
but ho was tailing asinoy could seo.
Suddenly his eyes brightened, and
ho said feely :
"Thero is his step on the stairs now

Henceforth when they wept they would
weep together.
Mr. Elleston grasped Paul's hand
warmly, and then they turned to him
whoso troubled look still told that life's
care was not yet ended. Ho was point

'Sho shall bo cherished mid cared

Heiu Is a pcu picture of the palace
which Mr. Ulniiio erected In Washing
ton.
The Blnlne mansion is by far tho
largest private hotiso ever erected in
Washington city, and has moro rooms
that tho British Legation, though not
so much giound is covered as by tho
latter. Tho Blaltio mansion goes up a
good deal highur In the air. The entno
architect built both. The ground plan
measures about seventy by suventy-
five feet, and the house stands on a
tongue of land bounded by Twentieth
street, P street and Massachusetts
avenue, aud faces cast, lhoro aro two
main entrances, one for carriages on
Massachusetts avenue, whero there is a
circular drivo on tho lot leading through
aporle coehen to tho linu stouo stair
case, and ono which gives tho interior
view on Twentieth street. This is an-
iroachnd bv a grand stone staircase
ending up to a broad platform of
stone, from which the entrance door
opens. Then ono Bees a baronial hall
lilteun feet wide and loi ty-iivo leel in
length, terminating In a haudsomo ftro
place and mantel, above which is a
plate-glass mirror. t . .
Tho exterior ot tuo mansion is in
striking contrast with all tho neighbor-
ing houses. Built of plain pressed
brick, the only ornamentation attempt-
oil is in variations of tho samo material
in the form of black lines and terra
cotla. The latter is displayed in oilgi-
nal design nbout the entrance onTwen-
tioth street.

was well knowu that tho name sho
bore was fictitious, but nobody cared
to mako inquiry as to her true namo
or tho plnco ot her birth. This lack ot
curiosity, as will bo seen by tho sequel,
had important results. Sho was joined
by a mail who became a noted gam
bler. They lived as man aud wife for
several years. Her fortuuo constituted
his capital, and she gave it to him un
grudgingly. A fow years ago she died
and the Uourt appointed an adminis
trator to take chargo of her estate. It
was lound that about 1U,000 was left,
and the administrator then tiroceeded
to hunt up tho heirs. But not a cluo

A Trick on a Spider,
A great many years ago a pnsoncr
of stalo, who was allowed to ciieer tho
solitude of his dungeon by playing on
his flute, discovered after awhilo that,
ecry timo ho piayed, n great number
ol spiders gathered about him. Since
then, the liking of spiders for musio
has been proved. I myself havo often
wished to play for a spider audipucu.
but I was not well enough acquainted
with any musical instrument to coax
a tune out of it.
A scientific gentleman of Kurope
gnvo mo a valuable hint by nn experi
ment of his own. He used n tuning
fork. Now I can play a tuning-fork
ns well ns anybody. I procured a tnn
ing foik and then sought out a tpider
I Ftmcd a handsome, brand new web,
and though I did not sco Mistrcns
Epeira I knew uhe must be nt homo.
JZpcira dladcina is her full name,
though moat persons call her a garden
spider. It is she who makes thofo
beautiful, wheel-like webs which fes
toon the roso bushes and trees.
As I havo said, Madame Spider w.ib
not visible. I knew, however, sho
must bo in her gossamer parlor, which
is attached to her web.
Hero was a good chance to try tun
ing-fork music. 1 rapped tho fork on
a stone, and in a moment a soft, melo
dious hum filled the air. I touched
one of the spokes ol the web with tho
fork. On the instant, Madame flow
out of her patlor in great haste, hesita-
ted a moment at thu otitei edge of tho
web, and then, uibtead ot going
straight to the tuning-fork, sho run to
tho very centre of the web.
When there, she quickly caught
hold of each of tho spokes ono after
tho other, and gavo it a liltlo tug, as a
boy docs his fishing-line to Bee if a fish
is hooked. Each was passed by until
sho came to tho Bpoko upon which tho
humming folk rested. Then she stop
pod, and it was easy to seo oho was ex
cited. Sho cavo the whole web a
shako; then tugged at tho spoko
again. "Hum-m-m-m" still sang the
fork, but rather faiutly now, however.
Madame was satisfied, llcr mind
was made up. Down she started and
caught the end of tho foik in her arms.
She tried to bito into the hard metal,
and at tho same timo sho spun a web
of silk around nnd around tho two
prongs, which by this time had ceased
vibrating.
I pulled the fork away, and Madamo
Empeira retired in disappointment to
tho centre of the web. But if she was
disappointed, so was I, for I was satis
fied that it was not the music oi tno
fork that had attracted her. Unfortu
nately, it was altogether too probable
that she mistook the hum of the fork
for tho buzz of a fly a sort of musio
no doubt very sweet to her.
Time aftor timo I repeated the ex
periment with tho fork, touching in
turn each spoke of tho web, and cacti
timo Madame Spider was deluded into
trying to capture tho tuning-fork, it
is odd she did not learn wisdom by re
pented disappointment. ren.mjlw
