PSYCHE.
" J inxist that you are taking a wrong
view of things. altiiLTcther."
Ion.iril I.rnce. flHpp.T in his short
velveteen studio coat nnl polo nip, in
serted a fre.-ih ciirur into hi.s mei-rrhaum
mtmthp.iuce, delicately rarveu in the
iniauro of a Sphinx, itnd stood tarepslncf
his rLoi't, poiute1 beard with his well
kept huud aud reflectively rejrtir ling his
companion.
The hitter's eye traveleri slowly over the
tniu flfjutc apt'strDphizing him. It was
belnw the nu-diiini height ; it had an air of
polished j icturi-suiiene.--s ; the pone was
eiisy and huppy ; the voice immensely sym
pathetic: the t5l'5t"reji tinilifd, e'e-'iirit;
and ye' there was iu the whole nothing
eiTciuiuuto. Then Hruce's friend t:at a
glance at a mirror opposite iu which his
own form was reflected. Towering above
Bruce by fully a head, with herculean
thouldrs, a muss of unruly blonde hair,
a thick, full beard, and clothes that bun,;
about his p iwerful limbs with an assur
ance of bein there iin; ly as a tribute
paid to the exigencies of civilization, but
of having a supreme detachment from any
thought of possible adornment in the
wearer's mind. The contrast was cer
tainly great.
The clothe9 were quits shabby, amonjr,
other thinfc's. The hat this young man had
pitched upon a chair a he came la was a
stift felt with a much-indented crown ;
ai;d a brim to which roujrh and long usape
had Imparted curves and twists multi
tudinous and eccentric.
Thus surveying his friend and then hlni
aelf, Koger Aponyi recognized, with a
certain halfscornful humorousness. tne
difference between their outward sem
blances. " There is no doubt," he said, with grim
goodnature. " that your way of looking at
things brings visible rewards of a kind."
" It does : hut it. is a truism that what I
suppose you would call worshiping mam
mon pays pretty well in this w orld, w hat
ever it may do in the next. I can take a
higher ground from which to artrue this
subject with yon. I think you misht ac
knowledge tliut to rais the standard of
the mass ever so little is better than not
to have any Influence thnt way at all,
since you sro in for such tremendously
hiih purposes In everything, although I
don't begin to havp your power "
" N'n. you haven't,'' remarked the othor,
placidly.
" I know that, my dear fellow. I know
thut the difference between us is just that
world apart, a difference between talent,
cleverness and tfniu-. Hut I contend that
my well regulated, intelligently emploved
small powers do more good, if yo:i w ant to
Eut it that way. than all your nrbii rnrv,
iwlews genius ever has done or will h,.
Your flights nre tc much for the large
number. And after all. by conforming a
little to the popular taste, one can si ill
make one's pictures so intrinsically good
that they needn't be a rejtroach to one's
artistic conscience. I don t sea thatper
sonul success is a thing to le despised,
either, when nil's said. If we all applied
ourselves, with honesty and ltoimI faith, to
being successful in this world, a con
siderable percontHee f the ml-ery and in
effectuulness of it all would be removed."
" Yon area great philosopher," observed
Aponyi. " Oo you often talk in that way
to Miss Abercrombie ?"
He bad never seen Miss Abercrombie;
that pleasure was in store for Mm that
afternoon, and he scarcely knew what
Prompted him to ask the (nest ion. I'er
aps certain things that had casually
tran.spired in conversation with Bruce
certain hints he had unconsciously let
drop.
Brnne colored fdightly.
"Oh, Ethel !" he said. a little reckleslv.
" I have to keep myself strung np at high
enthusiasm pitch all the time when I am
with her. you know. She's awfully nice
the dearest little girl in the world, but
she's exalted as can be. You two will pet
on admirably together. You will bot Ii
meet on a plane quite inaccessible to us
more commonplace mortals indeed, quite
beyond our limit of apprehension. I
should feel as thouith I were going to
marry the north star, to tell you all the
truth, if I didn't know that g'rls drop all
their transcendentalisms after they're
married. Hut, as I say, you two will un
derstand each other marvellously. Kthel
Is always caring alniut a man's'soul and
that sort of thing, although she doesn't
say so. And you tro in for all that, I'm
sure stay speaking of ancels "
She was coming in now, a pretty, fragile
Toting creature, with her uncle, a rich, el
oerly gentleman, w ho had brought her up
and would leave her all his money. They
haxl not yet seen Hruce's new "picture,
which was to be sent to the academy on
the following day. To see it now whs the
object of their visit. A few other people,
friends of Bruce, came in with the .same
object at the same time.
Bruce made an opportunity to present
Aponyi to Miss Abercrombie, and then,
with a humorously sicrnitlcant glance at
the former, left them to themselves.
Aponyi had his own ideas about Bruce
taking this lightly jocose attitude with
respect to the girl who had given him her
heart-, to whom, he had, supposedly, (riven
his, and whom he whs about to marry. It
sefined to him irreverential and in bad
taste. He bent a keen, iienetrattng glance
on the young girl as he took a seat beside
the low lounge whose cushions supported
her.
She, on her part, looked up at him with
sort of veiled eagerness of interest. She
had heard so much of this eccentric friend
of Ieonard's. She knew somo of the
thintrs which Bruce phased as "Aponyi's
mulish obstinacies " to himself, or some
other ears than hers, hut otherwise and
more mildly designated to her; his abso
lute refusal to turn out "not boilers"
whether he kept body and soul together
or not ; his declension of orders tkat
made subjects imperative which he
thought so futile, so trivial, as to be be
low t he dignity of art : his never conde
scending to sell a picture for one cent less
than he thought its value; his averring
that it was decrrading. by so doiiicr. to
throw away one's Esau's' heritage for a
mess of ponni- Hnd his inveterate pov
erty, which must necessarily 1 tbe re-
suit of such altojethvr cia'.y prone-lings
as these.
After a momont she said to her.-rlf th-it j
he looked like u genius, and that -.bo had
lievw met auy one who waaqnitu iike hn:i. i
lie was cortaluly very nncoiivnUon.-d. j
lie had no small talk. Thi; girl t!f, with J
Some amusement, that he sonmed to h:te
the attitude of saying : " If you can apeak j
of things worth la. King about wo stutil I
have soino conversation, ir not, no. ' Hut
this very fact interested Ethel A bercr nu
bia poworfnlly. She was a curious giri,
this young creature to whom Bnico ',vn
eugat?;d: aidont, imaginative, with a tor-
nieutniir sense of those "high ptsrpfiMia"
of which Uruce had spoken, anil . hunger
after only vajuoiy desceinoJ itle.-.s that
nothing in t hu world she lived in ha I
yot ever satisfied or directed. Iter larru
eyes looked vory eagerly, inquiringly, with
A sort of dumb, uudeunod amine., into
the world, although dimly prvsngiug some
lo'is prophesying some paiu to come.
"She looked iike INycne,'" said Aponyi to
himself. " I shoti'tl like to paint hsr so."
Aud then, with his eyes still fixed in
teutly on his pure prol'le, with its nervou,
sensitive lines aid tho iransparunt skin
that made him think of alubaster bohind
which a lamp might burn. Imcsi'i,i.l him
self swiftly coming to some not wholly un
expected conclusions.
After he had talked to her an hour they
probably would not have known, e-itbt.r of
tfcriH, how lig or how abort a time Lhey
sat there a few things had become a
clear to hitn as though ho had Ki.ovv.i
them always. Instead of haviug arrived at
them, piecing this and that toe'-her at J
apprehending much that did not iteet t.'.e)
e e by a rapid train of intuition, tie un
derstood perfectly that 3iiss Aben rorulno
hud become engaged to a man who wa
not Bruce himself, but an linage of him
formed in her own imagination. The tin n
she had met in her few brief yenrs if
" society " experience had not satisfied her
undefined cravintj9 that were in her.
Bruce, uu artist with picturesque a-xthelic
tastes, with a facile and pUant entiiu
eiasm about things appertaining to the
rainc, hud seemed to her, for the first time
to do so. But Aponyi knew that she was
doomed to disappointment. At present
Bruce kept himself more or lese at the
level where she had placed him, because
he was, in his way, very fond or the fair
girl who was not yet his, and because, too
to say all plainly he wa a remarkably
good match ftran artist who. though very
reasonably successful, was still not lx--yond
the sordidities of occasional pecu
niary misgivings and troubles. But when
he had secured the prize he would relax
his etfiirt, and then a few hours before
Aponyi would have said : "'Well, one dis
illusioned woman more or less in the
world, what would that matter "
But now he felt a great and strange pity
for this girl who sat there with her cfndid
eyes flxxd on his face. They were l.ennM
ful eyes. They sugLefcted all things high
and all things deep to him somehow.
This would not be "only one more woman
in ths w orld disillusioned " she would be
one iu a thousand iu her capacity for suf
fering under the disillusion. s. he w as
sura of it: she was that rare thing, a
creature with a soul. I'syche I'syche
that was what expressed her best.
Aponyi was not iu the least a lady's
man. lie had had neither opportunity
nor desire for cultivating the fair sex.
But he began after a while to have a
faint feeling that this afternoon in Brute's
studio would mark an epoch in his lit-,
lie had uu anticiputive assurance that the
scent this slight, spiritual looking girl
on the low lounge, with the background of
rich hangings, stuffs, old weapons, quaint
pottery would reuiuin with him maiirt '
long day. Miss Abercrombie had a few I
early spring flowers yellow jonquils and I
a spray of pale hyacinths in her dress. !
He even felt that that particular perfume j
would be forever u-ssociated iu his con
sciousness with that sensitive profile and
those candid eyes.
The evening shadows were creeping into
the studio hen he got up suddenlv and
rather brusquely took his leave, tlVst of
Miss Aborcrombie and then, shortly, of
Brute.
The latter presently came up to MLss
Abercrombie where she stood, bright-eyed
aud silent.
"I have enjoyed my afternoon somnok,"
she said softly. " I like your friend."
"Oh, I knew you two would hit it off,"
laughed Bruce, somewhat off LU guard.
"You're both about equally transceudeu
tial, and all that. A fellow here asked too
a moment ago who the seedy Samson dis
coursing to Miss Abercrombie so pro
foundly about the Thusness of the It
might be. Oh, yes, Aponyi belongs to the
seventh sphere."
Miss Aborcrombie flushed a little; she
looked hurt. But Bruce, who wes iu high
good-humor, aud considerably elated ut a
litrge order one of his guests uud patrons
had unexpectedly bestowed upou uiui ti.-.t
afternoon, did not notice this. It was uul
kind or gentlemanly, she thought, for
Bruce to allude that way to his friend's
poverty. And yet the thought wa.-
thrust oack ainiost before it took form.
Kthel Abercombie- had but one faith.
She loved Bruce: anil she was loyal to
him eveu to tho most secret motions ut her
mind.
Bruce had not seen Aponyi for soma
time, when he one day climbed to the
studio under the eaves where tho latter
worked.
As he went in Apouyi was standing with
his buck to the door, so engrossed iu cou
templatiou of a canvas to which he had
just been conveying some rapid touches
' that he did not nonce the newcomer till
Bruce stoood at his shoulder. Theu he
turned abruptly aud a very slight color
Came to hin lace.
" I didn't iikuu that you should seo
this," he said bluntly.
Bruce, without replying, stared at the
canvus aud theu at lue puiutcr.
"Has Ethel Misj Abercrombie been
giving you sittings f"
" No. 1 have never seen hor except that
afternoou at your den."
" You are even more of a genius tbau I
took you for, the.," said Bruce, with some
irony. " And she is supposed to be "
" Psyche.'' said Aponyi, briefly. " AU !"
Agraiu Brute looked at the picture. It
was uot only the wonderful resemblance
to the origiual, drawn, as it had been,
from muuiory, which struck him. That
peculiar look, which this I'syche wore, it
occurred to Bruce that he had never seen
it in Ethel Abercrombie' face, and proba
bly never would : but that Aponyi must
have seen it or divined more than ever
he had done. After a while he slowly
asked :
" Are you In love with Miss Abercroin
bief "
The suddenness of the question did not
take Aponyi unawares. Ho stood quite
still for a moment before replying.
"No, I am uot vet. But 1 might as well
be frank. I think if 1 saw her once or
twice more I should be. frhe comes nearer
my ideal than any woman I have ever met ;
in fact, she tills it. I would be a happier
roan with her for my wife," he added, as
if to hiiiiscLf. " She would be happy with
me."
" Well, it's certainly a great pity you'ro
too hate," observed Bruce with an irrita
tion that found vsut in a short, satirical
laugh.
" Ves, It is a pity," said Aponyi, very
quietly. "I think we two were " he
broke off short. " But this is not a subject
to talk about. The lady we are speaking
of is to be your wife. I shan't see much of
you after that event. 1 don't know that I
shall see auythiug of you at all. That will
be the only thing that will retuind you of
the few words 1 said this ai'teruoon. As
for this sketch, I shall destroy it. I meant
to do so anyhow, w. en I had got the idea
I wanted to fix fairly expressed. You've
drawn a prize. 1 don't think you appreci
ate it. 1 know you don't. But that's the
way of the world."
He threw himself down before his easel
and began scraping tbe paint from his
palette.
, " Oh, come, don't be so melodramatic,"
said Bruce, finally deciding to take tne
thing as a joke. " When I'm married you
will be coming around, sitting at my tire
Bide and admiring my wife as you would
a nice sister. That's the reasonable way
to look at it. See if you don't come to it."
" Yes, I'll see," said Apouyi, dryly. And
he turned the conversation.
A few hours later there was not a frag
ment of the cauvas which had borne ths
shadowy Psyche in existence. And with
its destruction closed a chapter lu that
great unwritten book of what might have

Few people have any Idea of the amount
of ffod evsa a saodatate amount of exer- :
else re'x!arly taken will do the'n. Many
a young mau tkiuks ef kow much care be i
would take of kis kealtb and strength if ,
he were only able to Join au athletic club I
and devote the amount of time he
thinks necrcstiry to his physical devel
opment. There 1 scarcely a man
who can not spare tea minutes every
morning and evening when rising and re- i
tiring. The sleeping chamber, no matter
if it is only a little hall room in a c'ne.tp '
boarding house, can now, by mennsof the '
inventions of late years in a gymnastic
and calisthenic appliances, be made into a '
miniature gymnasium. A pair of dumb- '
bells and a pair of Indian clubs can be
easily purchased, and ia a half a day a i
rowing machine with a sliding seat ht lu. ;
and a hooked contrivance by which all
the movements of a pulling weight box
could be taken advantage of placed on the
wall. A horizontal bar, to be raised or
lowered, might also be placed iu the door
way and apunching bag could be kept in
a closet and attached to It when desired.
A young man who will fit up his room in
this style and faithfully exercise ten or
fifteen minutes every moruing aud even
ing will soon make as great iucrea.se in all
his measurements in tbe course of
three months as any inenber of the
costliest athletic club or gymnasium.
If a young man who has a desire to Im
prove himsetf physically is willing to give
the littie requisite time and use a littie in-
fjenuity he need not spend .'Wor fcto in turn
ng his sleeping apartments into a gymna
sium, although au investment, perhaps, if
he can afford It, of about lu In one of the
new style of rowing machines, which are
so constructed that thoy can be manipu
lated for almost any sort of exercise, will
not be a bid venture. Few people bare
any idea of the amount of exercise that
can be taken without either clubs or
dumb bells and by using the hauds alone
to go through the common light dumb
bell mauuoi. Rapid movements are.
tho most beneficial. Besides a row
lug machine and paper weights, In
lieu of dumb bells, achalr with wide apart
and strong arms should be procured. If
such a chair is not handy the edge of tho
bed may be used, or the floor, but the lat
ter only after a little practice, if one is un
used to exercising. Catching both arms
of the chair or the edge of the bed in Ilia
hands, or placing both hands flat on tho
floor, the persou exercising should stretch
a far out- as possible, bearing the weight
on the raised toes. Then bending the
arms the chest should coma down so as to
be even w ith the bands, if the chair is
used, or touch the edge of the bed, or floor,
If It is not convenient to use thechair. Then
the body should be pressed back to the
first position by the strength of the arms
alone. Thisshould be done until the exer
ciser is thoroughly tirnd, which may lie be
fore the body Is raised ami lowered half a
dozen times. If one finds himself weak It
would he better to try this exercise first on
the wall, as that style will be found much
easier. This exercise will be found one of
the best movements to develop the
muscles of the back and chest
and the extensor muscles of the
upper arms. A harder form of this
exercise is by placing two chairs back to
back about a foot aud a half apart, and
with the hands grasping the backs letting
the body down till the knees touch the
floor and pushing the lody up as many
times as possible.
A stick a little longer than a cane can be
also used as a wand and a number of exer
ctses had. Improved calisthenics will be
mainly used for the development of health
and strength in the youth of the future
athletic authorities think. The light and
quick have been for some time supplant
ing the old system of gymnastics which
made the muscles showy but slow.
Playthings of the Children In Africa
The girls in Africa, as elsewhere, are
fond of dolls; but they like them best
alive, so they take puppies for tho pur
pose, and carry them about tied to their
backs, as their mothers carry babies.
Soma of them "play baby" with littlo
pigs. The boys play shoot with a gun
made to imitate the " white man's gun."
Two pieces of cano tied together make the
barrels, the stock is made of clay, aud the
smoke is a tuft of loose cotton.
In one African tribe the boys havo
spears made of reeds, shields, bows and
arrows, with which they Imitate their
fathers' doings : and they make animals
out of clay, while their sisters "jump the
rope." Besides, the African children, like
children all over the world, enjoy them
selves "making behave." They imitate
the life around them, not playing " keep
house," "go visiting." or " give a party,
because they see none of these things in
their homes ; but they pretend buildiug a
hut, making clay jars, and crushing corn

THE TYPE-WEITEa.
A Lbor-SsTln nsrhlne Which
, Sprnng Immediately luto
Popularity.
About ten years ago the first tyre-writor
was invented. It was patented by two
Detroit men who soon sold their right to
the machino, but drew a royalty on 1 1 for
sonio years. One of these men wjta a prin
ter by trade, and for years he bad been ex
perimenting with a writing machine to
supplant ths pen. Ho f.rst Invented a
uiuchine for numbering automatically tho
pagns of books such as ledgnrs. When tho
type-writer was first upon the market it
wss crude machine, very different from
what It is to d;y. The foot was brought
into operation in !t to pull 1 s.ck the car
rhvgrt upon whxh h pp-r w.-vs rolled,
somewhat like serving maeh'.ne. There
wera various other clumsy uppliances con
nected with it. a".A Dm ih ir.'.n was re
garded by Ce public mora a curiosity
than ns a r r:; -tical writing instument. A
few large o'Tice however. Ix-gan to use
type writers, and the iostrnments wer
teen where a Urge number of manifold
copios wero required and it wa desirable
to have r very rHin and easily dciphnred
copy. Improvements were made from
time to time in tho mechanism, and as the
machine ws gradually be:ni perfected it
became mon .mil more po;u'.sr.
Meantime Its .nri.nn promoted other In
ventors to J-'p'.T Ce-rvelvrv- to the sub
ject of wrlrlne ntchinea. One- of the first
to come out was invented in Swejn and
patents obtained upon it thrnujjnut Europe.
The principle of this fype-writr ws
radically different from tiiat of the
American machine. Insiead of the typa
being arranged in a circular poeket and
flying up to hit the paper, in tba foreign
machine the type and keys wr arranged
like pins in a pincushion and the instru
ment was in he ehape of a bemispnere.
With the keys sticking ont U over its
surface It very ninth " resembled a por
cupine. This machine wns very small and
could almost be carried In the pocket. It
had many advantages over tho American
machioe, and likewise many disadvan
tage.. Hardly fcd The foreign letf'tics been
upon the s-arkef than another American
tniu h'.ae cru out upon some of the prin
ciples of the first machine, the patents
upon wblcs had expired. This was fol
lowed by another on au altogether different
plan, the type being made of rubber and
all t'igethnr on a little pd. When writ
ing the letter is brought over a small hole
in a platearid throws tais hits the paper,
all other typ at ths aims time taking up
a supply of iak. Ou the other machines
au tukel ribi.cn U brou?ht between the
type and tl paper, and the ink takoa
the shape of U-e letter prrs-tmg against
it.
This was followed by still i.-tber ma
chine wherein t h type, macs of bard rub
ber in the form of a cyiiuder. revolved in
a horizcLit.sl ravity and the paper was
driven-up against the type by the release
of a smaii battsitier evry time a letter
was struck. One of tho advantages of
this latter luncbius is th.it an infinite
number of characters can be Used in it.
and typo for writing In German pud
other foreign languages cau b inserted at
will.
A member of the Turkish legation In
the 1 nited States not long ao expressed
his admiration of the type-writer asud his
intention of having one mads that would
write in the Turkish language. There
are thirty-three letters in this language,
and Hasstn Effendi made a copy of them
and gave it to an engraver to make a set
of letters for the type-writer. It was only
at the last mlnuta that he discovered that
all typo-writers work from left to right, s
the English language la written, while
Turkish is written from right to left. The
excessive cost of altering a machine to
write iu this direction decided h'.m not to
get one. A type-writer for writing in auy
language can be made, ho .vever.
The manufacture of type-writers la now
an important American industry. Nine
tenths of all tho type-writers used In the
world are made in this country. The
traveler cau now find the American
machines In daily use in Eugland, France,
Germany, Kussia. and indeed in all the
European countries. The English govern
ment, which is very slow to make changes
of a radical or progressive nature, has
adopted the American type-writer, and ia
all the Government offices In India as welt
as those in Loudon and elsewhere the ma
chine is now in constant use.
The Chinese are about tho only people
who will be left out of the type-writing
nations. There are so many thousaud
characters in thoir language that it would
be impossible to construct a machine ca
pable of doing the work.
There are many thousands of type
writers In daily use in New York City,
and the Instrument ha-s long since ceased
to be a curiosity. With the telephone,
the Wall street ticker and the type writer
a part of every well appointed otlice. the
duties of clerks have indeed been revolu
tionized within the Is-st half century.
Very many authors now write all of
their books and magazine articles on tho
typo writer, among t he.se are W. I). How
ells aud Mark Twain. The Ifcrclarallon
of Independence was not written on a
type writer, but if Thomas Jefferson lived
in this age he would probably have ticked
off his immortal document upon ouo of
these little labor-saviug machine. A le
gal decision has been rendered to the effect
that although type writteu manuscript is
f Tinted it is writing all the sarue. and the
'ostal authorities regard It hs written
matter which must pay full postage.
Oue of the opeuings for women thnt uro
constantly eomiug up is copying manu
script on the type writer, and very cauy
girls and young women now find it a
pleasant and remunerative business.
Short-hand writers have also fouud the
type writers a valuable aid, and lawyers
are beginning to use it for writs and other
legal documents.
There are now nearly a doxeu different
typ writers on the market, each, of
course, claiming to bo tho best. The
prices range from t'J5 to Tho sale of
the machine Is largo and constantly In

The Ashanteee have this tradition, and
on it their religious opinions if religious
they can be termed are b lit : In the be"
ginning of the world God created thrso
white men and three white women, three
black men and three black women. Thut
these twelve human souls might not com
plain of divine partiality and of their sep
arate conditions, God elected that they
should determine their own fates by their
own choice of good and evil. A large cal
abash or gourd, was placed by God on the
ground, and close by the side of the cala
bash also a small folded piece of paper.
God ruled that the black man should have
the first choice. He chose the calabash,
because he expected the calabash, being
so large, could not but contain everything
needful for himself. He opened the cala
bash and found a scrap of gold, a scrap of
iron, and several other metals of which he
did not understand the use. The white
man had no option. He took, of course,
the small folded piece of paper; and dis
covered that, on being unfolded, it revealed
a boundless stock of knowdedge. God
then left the black men and women in the
bush, and led tho white men and women
to the seashore. He did not forsake
the white men and women, but communi
cated with them every night : and taught
them how to construct a ship ; and how
to sail from Africa to another country
for the circumstances of the dispensation
happened in the heart of Africa. After a
while they returned to Africa with vari
ous kinds of merchandize, which they
bartered to the black men and women,
who had the opportunity of being greater
and wiser than the white men and wom
en, but who, out of sheer avidity, had
thrown away their chance.

A KISS IMISTAKi;.
The family of Mr. Bonjarnln P.srby, a
gentleman of very cloe habits, wss
alarmed one bright, sunshiny morning by
the venerable old gentleman. whoe voice
wa-a beard in all parts of the house at the
same time. He had run from the garden
erying:

Martin?
Where is that pre-
I Martin wis a bustling, active servant In
the family, remarkable tor his polite and
j agreoable na-ners, which quite atoned
j for the ugliness oerasioned by a black
patch over one of his eyes and another
1 across his nose. The family of Mr. Barhy
j consisted of liimsslf and ward, a yoting
j lady of 19, to whom he had been left
j guardian by an old friend and school
! fellow.
1 Ho did not like the Idea of being set as
, a watchdog over the Inclinations of a
i young girl, but respect for his friends'
j memory would not admit of his refusing
j to take upon himself the charge.
1 Seeing the host of suitors addressing aer,
' and being unable to separate the wheat
i from the chaff, h resolved upon dls
i countenancing theia all by expressing his
; determination that Millie Winters should
j not marry at all.
"Shesh-tll have no husband it all," he
cried. "Better be without a hr-sbsnd,
; Millie, than have a bad one."
j The wary old man accordingly chose for
: Millie's maid a remarkably curions-look-j
tng, humpbacked old woman, thinking
1 she would be true to his luterests.
1 But Mr. E.irby was mlstain, for Julia
! was remarkably fond wf money a 3 note
, would throw her Into a state of delirium,
I during which she continued oblivious of
! all that ml.rut be going on aronnd her.
, Martin responded not to bis master's
. summons. But still the oil gentleman
cried :
I "The precious villain! Oh. that my
1 family should be thus Insulted and dis
! graced. I saw him press his lips to my
! wall's cherk, and the sound of the kbs
still souuds in my ear!"
At this moiiient Martin appeared and
j mildly inked :
j " I-nd you call, s'r !"
j Whereupon the enraged old gentleman
; rushed upon him and cned :
"Zounds, you scoundrel! what do you
! mean by kissing my ward "
"I. sir?" exclaimed Martin, with a
surprised and innocent look.
'Villain'" my own eyes have not de
. celved me. I saw you not ten minutes
ago steal behind Miss Millie and and "
I "Sir, sir!" exclaimed Martin, w rithlng
1 In Barby's grasp. " It is impossible."
And thus saying, he struck his hand
I upon his forehead. As a suddeu thought
'. occurred to him he continued :
j " Sir, a thought strikes me which rosy
i justify your suspicions. There is some
j fetrmge mystery in this."
I ".Mystery!" quoth t tie old gentleman.
, In an enraged voice. " I tbink there is."
' " I confess, sir." s.sid Martin, with a
; tone and look of shame, "that I di I steal
j into the gardeu just now and t-ake a
' chaste salute; but on my honor, a.r, I
1 believed tbo rwrson to be Miss Winter's
maid, the worthy Julie, to whom I have
' tho honor of paying my addressee."
I " Villain !" repeated the old man, stain p
j lug his foot, but Martin interrupted him.
j " You know what bad siLt I hsve. air,"
. ho said. " One eye entirely gone and the
i other very treacherous, as It is uow
I proveu to be, seeing that 1 mistook tha
mistress for the maid, and hava thus in
sulted a lady and offended a worthy gen
tleman, whom my inclination aud duty
have ever prompted me to regard with
profound respect aud veneration."
Mr. ilnrby was compelled to admit that,
owing to the defective si;ht of Martin, it
w:i possiWie for such a mistake to have
oceured. and the " precious villain " was
called a careless fellow.
Wishing perfectly to retrieve his charac- I
tor, he explained to his manter that he and '
Julie wtre to be mutTied that she had '
obtained Miss W i titers' cousent and that j
he was thinking of asking Mr. Bat by that i
1 verv morning. j
Tne old gentleman expressed his aur- j
I pris that a spruce little itan ly like Mar- 1
tin should wish to unite hi..2seir with
ilie old humpbacked Julie; but Martin j
clasped his hands, and wita rapture do-
t lared htr the woman of his choice and a i
paragou of woTUHuki.i'E and Mr. B-sxby,
to wound the hocest fellows feelings, coo- j
touted himself with saying:
" Well, there's no accounting for tostea." j
In the course of the day Mr. Barby ac- j
cldentally met Julie in tiie garden. 1
"Well, Julio!"' ho exclaimed : " I wish .
you joy in tho new situation you are going '
Into' j
" la, sir," sTiid Julie . I aiu t going into ,
no new situatiou."
" Why, ves, yon are; you are going tole
" Married, sir !" echoed Jnlle. In aston- !
lshmcnt. "I a going to be married ! Ijt,
sir, I wish I was."
"What's the iifie. old woman, of your
standing there counterfeiting such sur
prise I know all about it, sir ?"
"All slout It!" sqiiealel Julia, unable
to comprehend her master's meaning.
"All atout it, sir!'
" Yes. to be sure. a-U about your billing
aud cooing. Why how you look ! He
told me so himself."
" He!" cried Julie. " Who"
"Why. Martin, to be sure."
" Oh r exclaimed Julie, aud hung down
her bead, after affecting to blush.
" What a fool the old woman Is!" said
Barby. ' If you were a young girl there
might be some exense for this shvness and
tomfoolery. There, get along with you and
be a good w ife." and so saying the old
gentleman went his way: chuckling to
himself at having discover the littlo love
affair between Martin and Julie.
Ou the following, morning Mr. Barby
violently rang the bell in the breakfast
room. The servant who a'tend"d the summons
he desired would inform Julie that he had
been waiting full have an hour for her
mistress: a quarter of nn hour again
elapsed, and the old gentleman again rang.
" Send Julie to me."
Julio slowly appeared.
"Julie, where Is your mistress
' Mistress has gone out, sir."'
"Gone out, sir,'' echoed Barby. " Oono
out so enrlyr"
" YeB, sir, they've been gone this hour
and more."
"Thoy! Who's they?"
"Mistress and Martin," said Julie,
meekly.
"Mistress and Martin!" roared the old
man.
'Eire and furies I What I your intended
husband ?"
"My intended husband Iji. sir, how
can von imagine any thing so nhsurd."
" What, didn't you confess"
" I. sir ? No. sir. You only made me
blush by Tourobservation."
" That fellow is a villain, after all."
In a moment Barby summoned the
who!? establishment, despatching thtn in
all directions to go the round of ail the
churches in the metropolis. He bad a
shrewd notion of what had occurred ; but
they were spared further trouble by a
cai i inge stopping at the door, and presently
Martin and the late Millie V. inters stood
in his injured presence.
