Oil I've heard n gentle mother,
As tlio twilight hours began,
Heading v, III n sou on duty,
Urging him to ho a man.
Hut unto her Lltw ejod daughter,
TI10113I1 with love's words quit as ready
Tolnti ho out the other duty
"HlrUe, my dear, to he a lady."
Wlmt's n lady 1 Is It something
Made of hoops, ami silks nnd airs
Used to decorate tho parlor.
Like tho fancy rings and chairs ?
Is It 0110 that wastes on notels
Every feeling that Is human ?"
It 'tis this to he a lady,
TIs not this to he a woman.
Mother, then, unto your daughter
Hpeak of something higher far
Than to ho mere fashion's lady
" Woman " Is tho brightest star.
If you In your strong utlectlou,
Urge our son to bo a true man,
Urgo j our daughter no less strongly
To arise and hen woman.
Yes, .1 woman I Brightest model
Of that high and perfect beauty,
Where tlio mind and soul and body
Illend to work out life's great duty,
lie a woman; naught Is higher
On tho gilded crest of times ;
On the catalogue of Irtuo
There's no brighter, holler, namo.
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.
"Thero isnotnnioment lo lose," hobaid
asthoy alighted, speaking for tho first
timo. "Will you como to her at onco?
Night nnd day her cry had been for
you."
They could hear it ns they ascended
tho staircase ; but oh, how weak and
changed, how thin and far away, were
tho tones of poor Isabel's voice, inces
santly saying,
"Gcneviovol Will 110 one bend for
Genoviovo? I cannot, dure not, die, till
I havo seen hcrl"
Every ono left tlio room in olsedieuco
to Capt, Joyco's Bign, ns Genevieve
entered. But when ho would hnvo
followed them his wifo cried out, and
clntched him with her wo.il: hands.
"Not you 1 You must ntay and hear it
too, Victor 1"
Then sho told story of tho past.
"If you had gono to tho hall, wear
ing tho flower ns ho asked you to, I
should not bo lying hero to-day, and
you two would havo had years of happi
ness together that can never Como to you
now. Don't you huto mo? Cm you
over forgivo mo? And then I had not
even tho excuse of my lovo for Victor to
bear mo blamolessl bIio Went on. "I
married him becauso ho was rich nnd
influential, and partly that you should
not bo his wife, Genevieve for I must
toll you tho wholo truth horo on my dy
ing bod. But oh, how I havo becil
punished! As his wifo I learned how
noblo and good ho wns, I learned to lovo
him for himself alone. Aud if thero is
a torment boyond loving your husband
with your wliolo heart aud soul, aud
knowing that ho never has loved, and
novcr will lovo you if thero is a tor
ment that can exceed that in bitterness,
in keenness, toll mo where, tell mo
whero!" sho criod wildly, throwing her
wasted arms ubovo her head. "It has
been so dreadful that I, who have loved
lifo bo well, am glad to dio 1"
"My dear Isabel," begau her husband
gently
Sho interrupted him, seizing his hand
and Genovievo's in a burning clasp.
"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. I, who havo been the
obstacle to your happiness ou earth. It
is not yet too lato. Kiss mo once, my
husband, and then all will bo over with
mo, and you will belong to each other
hero and in heaven, whilo I walk, a
lonely and dcsolato spirit, by myself."
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.
When a notorious punster committed
Buicido by hanging himself, ono of his

lll'UDIIA'n TOOTH,
A writer iu t'ajxl't Family Jlagasine
gives the following account of tho
sacred tooth of Buddha, which is pre
served in a temple nt ICaudy, India :
Tho "1'alauoof tho Sacrod Tooth" is
n meagre erection to havo such n dig
nified title. 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. It furnishes a very lino
quality of oil, its flesh is used for food,
mid its skin, mode into a jolly, and
called vmtUik, is considered a dainty tx
cholco for ordinary ucmiiions.
This "fcwordsniau of tho deoji," ns
havo called him, is a wann-blo ode

Closo to tho station nt Devon and well
known in jicrson to most of (ho summer
residents at that famous suburban re
sort lives Adonirau Latch. 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. Nollunjr could bo seen,
though tho rattlo of tho drumsticks
seemed to havo been just by their
des.
Curses ujion it," tlio colonel ox-
claimcd, moving iu tlio direction tho
bound had taken, "must I havo it
always at my heels?"
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

revived with immonso enthusiasm by
the gourmands of tho boulevards after
tho seigo of Paris aud tho hunger of

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

thorn, but tho value not being recognized
