Stooping To Win Him, Tho clock 011 tho nearest church struck four, ns n stylish irivato enrriago turned ;out of t!i throng on Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, ami drew up be fore tho door of u hundsomo brown stono mansion only a few paco3 boyond. Tho huuso vas ono of thoso fine, imposing residences built before tho revolution, of which so fow now remain. Modern tnsto had rovolutiuizcd its awkwnrd aspect, in a measure, but within it kept its staid, oldworld look of luxurious comfort, offering to a visitor its substantial chairs ami sofas, its cheery fires in tiled llrcplacos, its massive mahogany tables, nnd ita crimson-velvet draperies, in fashion if not in actual material, unchanged from tho timo of "one hundred years ago." In ono of tho great arm-chairs beforo tho lire, n blight, protty, fair-haired girl, of hveuty-sovcu was lounging with n novel in her hand. A servant entered n smartly-dressed French maid bearing a beautiful boquct on a silver salver. "For mo ?" asked tho young lady. "No, Miss Isabel. It was left llvo minutes ago by Capt. Joyce's servant. I was coming up tho steps just then, and ho placed it in my caro for Miss Genevieve." "Sho has just como home," said Isabel Wardroper, shielding her faco with her book. "I heard tho carriago stop. You need not carry it up-stairs, Estcllo ; leavo it 011 tho side-tablo, and when sho comes I will give it to her. Was thero any mossago left with it?" "Nomcssago, Miss." Tho girl laid down tho flowers and departed. Isabel Wradroper listened a moment, then roso and took tho boquet to tho window. "As I expected," sho muttered. " Hero is a letter from him." With a spiteful wrench of her white, jeweled fingers sho toro it open, nnd it read ns follows : "I could not say all I wished when wo last met, because your Cousin Isabel joined us too soon. "Hut you must havo understood my menniug, dearest Oenovievo. You must know that I lovo you that I wish you to bo my wife. "If you consent, wear tho white rose I send you with this, in your hair, this evening, nt Mrs. Glcuroy's ball. If you do not wear it I shall know my doom at a glance, and you will never again bo anuoyoil by " Vioroit Joyce. " Miss Wardroix-r was a fathorless heiress, tho loader of her own "sot," tho queen of fnsluon, and in urtuo of all these things, nu acknowledged "beauty," ns a matter of courso. Yot tho faco was positively ugly us she bent over this most genuino lovo lettor. Tho pretty blue eyes that could givosuch shy, appealing glances nt her admirers, looked; cold and hard as steol now, and tho small, white teeth caught tho tinder lip so bharply and savagely that thuy drew blood. ' "Never shall sho win you! Never shall you triumph over mo I" sho cried, and thrust tho letter and tho flowers deep down into tho glowing ilro. "What a peculiar perfume," said Genevieve, coming into tho drawing room u few minutes later, looking fresh and rosy after her long drivo against tho wind. "What is it BeH'r" "This pastille, 1 suppose," said Isabel motioning toward tlio bmoko that curled from tho ininiaturo watch-tower, iu silver, on tho table by her side. "What shall you wear to-night, Oonoviuvo?" "White, of courso," said her cousin, absently. "Then I'll lend you my pearl neck laco and bracelets, and thoso lovely pins, with cliaiu-drojia for your hair. They will bhow to great advantago in your black braids," said Isabel, speak ing in a kind, cureless way. "Will you?' Genevieve's eyes brightened with pleasure at tho thought of looking well in tho eyes Bho loved. "You nro so good to mo, dear Isabel. Every ono is good and kind, I think. I cannot imagino why peoplo bo often say and write that this is an unliappy world of ours." Sho went singing up to her own loom to make some preparatiou for tho 31'i'tto nf tho ovenlnir. Isabol's bluo eyes followed her. An ovil smilo playod around her pretty moutli meanwhile. "You will bo wisor. soon, ou that point, Cousin Genoviovo j and it will bo my fault that you nro so. But since one of us two must suffer iu this business. I am fully determined that it shall not bo my sou." "Infatuated I That is tho proper worn to use, my dear," said Mrs. Ward' roper, looking up from her breakfast at her daughter. "I novcr saw a man more bo, in my lifo. And 110 ono could wonder; no ono iu tho ball-room could comparowith you, Ibabel. That toiletto of roso-piuk and. diamonds was your greatest success, and wo unod not regret its cost notl Jhat our objoct is attained," Isabel Wardroper ulanced at her own handsome, fuoo lofleoted in tho pier class of their hired lodtrmo-s in fnshiounblo Londou bqiwiv Hmnknuie .. nuueniably was. But tlicro was n worn look about tho oym that hinted nt coining wrinkles, and that uwry morn ing hor 1'arisiau maid lud found nmoug her bundaut trestes tho llrst gray hair. "I hopo you nio not mistaken, ma ma," sho said, daspjudently. "But you must own yourself, that ho is very slow iu spenkuiu; -if, indeed ho reallyhasnnytliingto bay. I somotiiuos think tltat it was Genoviovo whom ho loved," sho udded, tryiug to speak ns indifferently ns sho con d. "Genoviovo I A mere tinfonnod child, and a dependant on my kindness to booll" said Mrs. Wardroper, half angrily. "What next, Isabel? Why, ho scarcely Bpoko to her tho last timo they met. It was at Mrs. Hunter's bnlL I happened to bo watching him nt tho moment. Ho went up to hor quito eagerly as Boon as ho Bnw her enter tho rooms, and then his faco changed; ho looked at her coldly, and barely spoko. It was almost rude, if such u man could bo guilty of rudeness. And I thought Genoviovo felt it, poor girl. Sho colored to hor eyes, and watched him over her fan as ho walked away, witli quito a heart-broken look. And, to my certain knowledge, she never met him again, for ho sailed llio noxt week, for Europe. Genoviovo may havo been in lovo with him I don't say no. A hand some, attractive man, and sho a young girl full of romance it would bo noth ing strange. But ho was not in lovo with her, my dear you may tnko my word for that. And that is all you havo to consider in tho matter you know." Isabol listened in silenco to this well- meant uttompt at consolation. Sho felt utterly small, mean, and contemptible, as a matter of, courso, but sho had now gono too far to recede. That evening Isabel sat alono iu her boudoir, elegantly dressed, with a book iu her hand, whilo sho did not even pro tend to read. Eager expectancy shown from hor eyes as Cnpt. Joyco was ushered into tho room. Ho saw it and his heart smoto him. Ho had been going on idly, trying to forget tho heart wound that ho had received, in Isabel's pleasant society. Whilo Bhc, deeming him in earnest all tho whilo, had evidently given him her heart. "Why could not Genoviovo havo boon as affectionate, as geutlo, as suscoptiblo to luudnoss?" thought ho with a kind of groan. And then, because tho wound still burned and throbbed nt tho thought of that onco beloved name, and because ho was angry with himself, nnd nlmost ashamed of tho rare capacity for con stancy with which ho was endowed, had determined to put himself boyond tho spell of thoso memories forever, nnd so said to Isabel tho words that sho had boon so longing to hoar. But oven in thus repudiating the past, its blissfulncss and its pain, ho was namely and true, and said to her, "I will speak plainly onco for all, Isabol, boeauso no such secret ns this ought to exist between us, if you become my wife. I must toll you tho truth, I loved your Cousiu Genevieve dearly I fear I lovo her yot. I left America boeauso sho tacitly refused me, by refusing togivo mo pledgo of her affec tion that I asked. But I long to forget her, Isabel, I long and pray to do so. If you aro w illing to help mo do tin's, bo my wifo. I will be a truo and loyal husband to you, my dear, nnd from tho moment when you accept me, I will novcr mention her nnmo again in your presence; and with you to brighten my home, I havo no doubt that I shall soon bo ablo to banish her imago from my heart. Aro yon willing to take mo on such terms? Look up and tell me, Isabel, and bo as sincero with mo ns I havo been with you, my dearest girl." Sincere ! How ho would havo stared at her in utter wonder, if she had dared to utter ono titho of tho tumultuous thoughts that wcro surging and boiling in her undisciplined heart. At that moment she felt that she hated him, and that no power on earth was strong enough to induco hor to beoomo his wifo. But then enme tho thought of her mother's genteel penury nnd fastfailing health. During her mother's life, if sho refused this offer, they must both enduro a semi-martyrdom, iu order to keop their proper placo in society. And after death, tho annuity expired, leaving Isabel alono in tho world, without a penny or a friond. "It is my business to marry. My feelings havo nothing to do with tho matter," pho thought, swallowing down her anger and her pride. And that same evening, bnforo tho retired, sho gladdened her mother's heart by flashing before her eyos tho magnificent diamond which was Capt. Joyce's gift ns nn engagement ring. ... . Six years after tho news of her Cousin Isabel's marriage to Victor Joyco had reached and saddened Genoviovo Clare, she sat in her country homo alone, ono o cuing in tho beginning of spring. Poverty Genoviovo had known since tho death of her parents. Tho bitter lesson of dependence liftd been taught her dur ing tho last mouths of her stay in her Aunt Wardropcr's houso ; and love, which should havo cheered nnd soothed her through all her trinls and boreavo ments, had been the deepest traitor of tho whole. Genoviovo no longer wondered why people exiled the world an unhappy placo to llvo iu. It had proved so to her, aud at times sho had felt that sho would gladly lay down the burden of existence, wcro it nut 11 sin. But tho years passed on. Strength to bear uud to suffer came to her by degrees; aud then gradually tho suffer ing itself changed mellowed, bofteued, till nt last bho wuii scarcely conbcioiu" that it was there. Onthisoeuiughhonit by a warm flro in tho tiny house which her owu industry had won, and thought great fully that at last shu might roll herbclf at rcbt, at peace. Ajinglo of sleigh-bells sounded out side tho house, Some ono knocked loudly at tho door It wns a messenger from tho railway btatiou with a telegram from Viotor Joyce Isabels husband. " Como to Isabel. Sho is dying. Says sho must see you." This was all it said. Tho messengoi was to wait aud drivo her buck iu time for tlio last express tnuu. Likoouo iu a dream GeuoUuvu went about, setting her houso iu order for an nbsenco of a fow days, then tkeassd her son lor tho jotirnoy. At midnight sho Btepped from tho train into tho confusion of 11 crowdod New York depot. A hand took hers, a voice said gently "This way, Cousiu Genoviovo." And tho noxt moment sho was shut up in n carriago with Victor Joyce, driving with all speed toward his luxurious homo.

"I know you havo tried to lovo me, Victor," sho said half bitterly, half ten derly. "And I nin suro you will both forgive mo when I am dead. I join your hands now.

With thoso straugo words sho died, just as her husband left his p:irting kiss upon her lips. It was a cruel and terrible scene. But in timo its memory and effect passed away. Genovievo is tho happiest of wives nnd mothers, Victor tho proudest of fathers, in their beautiful suburban homo. And a whito roso, tendered by careful hands blooms yearly on poor Isabel's gravo.

The oil yielded by roses is very littlo 1 henco it is said that twenty thousand blossoms aro rcquirod to, yiold a rupoo weight of tho uttar, which sells for ten pounds sterling, 11 littlo fact which may suggest to tlio "iadj- that tho "real Onontal attar" which bho bought in tho Stamboul Bazaar for ten shillings tho ouuco was not quito what tho Moslem merchant so loudly oworo by tho prophet it was. In reality, tho truo attar i3 almost iuvariablo adulterated with sandle-wood oil, or diluted with sweet salad oil, oven iu tho Indian bazaars close to tho far-famed roso gardons of Ghnzaporo. This seems almost pardon able when we remember that, during unfavorable seasons, it will tako ns many as ono thousand roses to yield two grains of tho oil. In tho forenoon tho red blooms nro collected by hand and distilled into clay stills with twico their weight of water -tho water which comes over being sot to cool all night, nnd throwing up tho thin film of oil which covers it in the morning liko croam 011 new milk. This is tho attar, which must bo carefully swept off with a feather, and transferred to a small phial. After repeating this oporation night niter night, and morning after morning, nearly tho wholo of tho oil has been ox traded, tho littlo which it is impossiblo to separnto bo flavoring tho liquid that it is sold as "ioso water," just as tho minuto particles left in tho courso of distilling lavender or peppermint aro known as tho "waters" of their V .IAI'.Ni:i: l'OSTMAN.

A locomotive alb in Winter is n dreary placo. It is bad hi daytime, but on a Winter night, when the snow flies fast, tho locomotive is a good plnco to keep out of, Even in tho day it is impossiblo to bco anything if a snow storm prevails. Tho lulls ruu right up into the air. Nothing can J bo scon nhcod but a limping oil place. Tlio windows nro frozen up or covered with snow, and from innumerable cracks and croviccs around the floor whero it joins tlio boiler come draughts thatbito aud stlug. Tho cngiuo caws liko a crow haugh, haugh, now fast, now slow, according ns the drifts cover tho track or nucoer it for a brief spaco, and wlrtm it strikes a drift it throws tho snow iu blinding clouds all over itself, just us tho spiny flics over a vessel shipping a sea. Tho track is rough, for the frost has disturbod it, and tlio cngiuo lurches ahead, stagger ing to and fro liko a drunken man. Thero nro fow more impressive spectacles in this world than n powerful locomotivo laboring through n heavy Rnow-storm. To tho observer besido tho track it looms up through tlio gloom tremendous and awful. Tho locomotive seems tho embodiment of thoDonth Angel, moving swiftly and noisolesjly, Tlio snow has muffled tho whir of tho rolling friction of tho wheels on tho rails, uud tho train glides by liko tho unsubstantial pageant of a dream.

Tho building is small, has no pretensions, to architecture, and is so dilapidated that the rum comes through tho roof. Tho Wihara, or champer, in which tho relic is kept, is a small room about twelve feet square. At tho entrance are two sontry-box-look-ing constructions with glass windows. Theso aro lamps kept perpetually lighted, the llamo not having been lot dio out for many years. Tlio sanctum is very splendid, tho roof and walls being lined with gold brocade, and tho frames of the door luluid with carved ivory. Tlio air is oppressive with tho perfumo of flowers and spices. Flowers especially aro a favorite offering at Buddha's shrine, aud aro always present in n great profusion. Ou ono occasion no less thau 0, -180,320 flowers were counted at tho shrine, and it is recorded that in tho fifteenth century a royal devotee lent 100,000 flowurs 11 day for a con siderable time, and each day tho flowcr3 wcro of a different kind. Tho karuudua, or vessel containing tho tooth, stands covered ou a tablo of massive silver, richly chased, in tho midst of a pro fusion of valuable articles of jewelry, which aro cither relics or offerings. Tho most beautiful in tho collection is a bird with wings spread. It is formed entirely of diamonds, rubies, blue sapphires, etc., sot iu gold, which is hid by a profusion of ge.ns. While wo were nil admiring this magnificent offering, tho priests or monks removed tho several folds of muslin from tho karan dua, and discovero.l a sort of domo of gilded silver, nbout live feet high, stud ded with a fow gems. When this was removed another was found underneath, mado of beautiful cirvod gold. This was festooned with jewelled chains, aud literally oucrustod with all tlio glittering gems for which Ceylon is bo celebrated sapphires and emeralds of extraordin ary size, citb'-oyes (much prized), rubies amethysts and poinds. Another similar covering, nnd still another, were taken off, when -it last was reached a small caso of gold, covered entirely with rubies, emeralds and diamonds, iu which, resting on tho leaves of a gold lotus, was tho tooth itself. Tho I'rinca of Wales was about to take up tho rolio when he was stopped by the Dowa Nilleme (who is associated with tho liriests as guardian of tho tooth), and informed it was too sacred to bo touched by human bauds. swonnsMVN or tiik nm, imagine whales fencing witli one another for amusement 1 It seems as if such n thing could not bo ; and yet there aro whales of a certain species which not only feuco with ono another, but uso their teeth for swords. It is tho narwhal that foneoii. Ono of tho teeth of tho male narwhal always grows through tho upper lip and stands out liko a spear, straight iu front of tho animal. It seems as if all tho material that should hayo gono to fill tho nar whal's mouth with teeth had gono to tho ono tooth that grows out through tho lij, for sometimes this tooth is eight feet long. Tlio nnimal itsolf, from head to tail, is seldom moro than sixteen feet in length. Of what uso such an enormous tooth is to tho whale uu one knows. Somo persons bay it is used for spear ing fish; others, that its uso is to stir up tlio mud in .the bottom of tho ocean in order to scare out tho fish that may bo hidiug therp; and ono man says tho tooth is for tho purposo of breaking holes 111 tho ico in winter ; for tho nar wlial, liko all whnlos, is obliged to como to tho surface at intervals, to broatho. Whatever tho tooth is intended to bo U6od for, it is certain that whon tho narwhal wishos to jilay it fluda another narwhal of u liko mind, and away they ciiargo at each other till the long tooth sworils clash together. They nro nctiv as well ns frolicsome, and sailors tell of seeing them crossing swords iu this wav thrusting uud parrying, and rolling mid darting ubout with marvelous agility ami grace. Tho nnrwhal is liuht gray in color, and covered with black siiots. For u groat many reasons it is vnluod by tho Ureonlaiiders.

In tho old gray houso of his mother, whoso plaoa he farms, is a very nncienl corner clock, with which is associated one of thoso Bingular nnd romautio lovolutionary traditions that this region of country nrouud Valley Forgo abounds in. When Howo's nrmy was in Philadelphia, among tho officers who camo out on sorties in this direction was Col. Norton, haudsomo English officer. Thero lived in tho old houso with Farmer Howell his beautiful daughter, tlio widow Jarrett, whom the colonel no sooner saw than ho fell in lovo with her and sho with him. Farmer Howell did not liko it, and did all in his power to dis- courago his daughter's infatuation, but lthout avail. Thero was n high wall about tho houso with steps going down, nnd hero tho farmer stood until lato in tho evening nbsorbed iu thought. Tho night ho proposed to her, ns thoy camo out, a drum win suddenly heard in tho distance. All three stood still, tho colonel trembling iu every limb. It drow nearer and nearer, until tho sound oppeared to bo right tinder llicm, when seemed to pass by aud then gradually dio away.

The night they wero married tho Phantom Drumnir," as tho family havo always called him, marched by ngnin, beating the same tattoo. Thoy settled down. Col. Norton deserted his regiment, nnd whilo hidden away amused nmself in making the clock already mentioned. He was very ingenious, nnd had a mechanical turn of mind. Somo of his descendants wcro buried in tho old Baptist graveyard hard bj-. It was learned many years afterward that CoL Norton was tho younger sou of a nobleman, and before corning to this country had been acquainted with tho lfo of u drummer whom ho killed.

A lady Echool-teacher had 11 delicately mado littlo Swiss watch sot in a bracelet. Tho faco of it is about tho size of a dime, and the works are protected by a thin disc of glass about tho same size on tho under side of the bracelet noxt to tho arm. In fact, it sets right over tho young lady's jralso, and tho watch is tho wonder and admiration of nil her friends. But tho littlo watch never did keep lime, though it cost five htiudrod francs in Paris. Tho joweler to whom it was carried, told the lady that sho ought not to expect a watch tho sizo of.a peanut to kee timo. Ono workman said such small watches had to bo bought on tho lrincilal of a chaueo in n grab-bag, as they Bomotimes turned out good time pieces, and at others wero wholly unre liable. Tho young lady noticed, how ever, that whenever sho loaned her ilvo- huudrcd francs bracelet to her sister, tho watch kejit much better timo, and whon sho kept it locked up in her jowol-caso it kept tho timo almost ns well us any ordinary time-piece. A well known jihysician had his attention callod to tho matter by tho jpung lady's mother, and explained it iu n minute, from n jihysiologicnl standpoint. Ho explained that the springs and enginery of tho watch wero bo delicate they wero affected by change of temperature and feeling in tho young lady's body. When sho became excited tho watch doubtless wont fast, and in her calmer moments it went slower. Upon iuvostigation this hypo thesis was verified, uud tho phonomeua 4 cited so much curiosity that tho voting lady gavo an exhibition to a fow friends of tho manner 111 which tho watch was :ompolU'd to answer to tho effect of tho chango in hor various moods.

Hippoihagy has always been popular in Franco ; it was practiced by jiro glacial man in tho caves of Pcrigord, aud revived with immonso enthusiasm by the gourmands of tho boulevards after tho seigo of Paris aud tho hunger of tho Commune. The cavo men huntod and killed tho wild horso of thoir own times, and ono of their remaining works of art represents a n.ikod hunter attack ing two horses, wliilo a huge snnko winds itsolf unperceivoil behind closo to his heels. In this rough prchistorio sketch ono sooins to catch some faint antique foreshadowing of tho rudo humor of tho "Petit Journal pour;Rire."

It is perhaps not generally known that a largo ruby is of more value than a largo diamond. Mr. Streotqr, who wrote a book about jowelu, Btates that "the ruby ranks for irico nnd beauty, above all other Btonos. When a perfect ruby of tlvo carats is brought into tho market a sum will be offered for it ton times tho prico given for a diamond of tho samo weight 1 but should it reach the weight of ten carats it is almost in valuable." With respoot to tho romanco of procious stonei, tho author just quoted tolls a curious story about sap jihisos. A native of India loadod 100 goats with those gems, aud reached Simla after ten days' jouruoy. Arriv ing at Simla, he triod to dispose of thorn, but tho value not being recognized ho could not ovou obtain a rupoo a tollo, for thorn, which he would gladly havo taken, belus iu astato of somi-starva-tiou.
