"You'd better make up your ntltul do it, Frank. I gi> e you uiy word for it, you'll find 'I-aurelton' not a laid place, and the girls are—well, Uicre an no finer girls than my granddaughters." Old Judge Kan-on i looked earnestly over his gold-rimmed glasses at F'rank Hazel ton's handsome, indifferent face. "You certainly are very good. Judge, to press upon uie sueh a friendly invi tation to visit 'lAurellen.' and under any other clrcuni4 to be grateful, and oldigv you by falling in love with one of my charming cousins." "Then we'll consider it settled, shall we? The Thursday before I hrUtuias." "I guess we'll manage It between us, Sara, Frank's agreed to come, and, what's more, has half-promised to fall In love with one of the girls." Judge Hansom sal reJUing his village paper beside the cheery open grate; and fat, motherly Mrs. Hansom sat In her capacious chair, busily darning socks. "frasM to fall in love with one of the girls! Henry, the idea! Who ever heard of such a thing? You never went and told him you teuated him to marry one of them ?" "Of course 1 did. There's nothing like Uing open and above-board. I like vouug llazei, and told him so; and told Itirn he was welcome to one of my granddaughters, and 'Laurelton' In the bargaiu." "Well, Henry Ransom, I never would havfebelieved you w ere such a—a fool! iKm't you know you've ruined our little arrangement by going ami telling him ? Why there's not a man living wbo'lf take a fancy to a girl that is recom mended to him 1 Well, if you areu't a aimshie!" "I can't see what I've done so dread ful. I'm sure you are as anxious to have him in the family as 1 am." "Of course 1 am—and that is why I hate to see anything spoiled so. My word for it, Frank llaaeiton is of too nobie a uature to deliberately make lore to a girl because she is rich; and, at the same time, 1 know he will take a dislike to "em simply because he knows he is expected to do the other thiug." "Seems to me I have put my foot in it, Sara, according to your way of thinking. 1 am sure I meant'well enough." "Oh, 1 know that. Xow, if you'll just leave it to me, and agree to do just what 1 say, 1 think it'll end all right, yet. listen, now, and see If a woman can't beat even a judge in love affairs." Aud he sat and listened, his flue .'set gradually broadening until it was one big smile from eyebrows to chin. "If you don't deserve a diploma," he declared, jubilantly. A magnificent December night, with myriads of frostily-twinkling stars above, and a snow-bound landscape below them; and Frank liazelton, wrapped in his Astrachan overcoat, and bis seal-skin cap cosily jammed ov*r his forehead, thoughts* lie was driven from the depot to"Laurel" behindthe judge's fast trotters, and in the 'Laurel's' big double-sea ted, warmly-cushioned sleigh, that the lines might fall U> a fellow in a far less pleasant place than that to which he was going; where the judge met him at the door, in the broad banner of warm yellow light streaming from within. "Come right in, my boy—right ia! You're as welcome as the first flowers in spring. Here's aunt Sara waiting to kiss you—aren't you, eh?" Frank found himself iu warm, moth erly arms, and, laughing and joking, was escorted to the parlor, where four young girls were sitting in apparent ready welcome. "What! have I four cousins'! judge, you've got the best of me. I hail no idea my courage was to be put to such a test." "Indeed, you needn't think you are so blessed as to" poesess four pretty cousin*. These are ail you need lay claim to— Maud and Ida, my two dear grand daughters. These o'ther two young la dies are Miss Florence and Irtiia Cioud esley—visiting 'Laurelton,' to assist iu entertaining you." After such an informal introduction, the ice was immediately broken; and, before the merry little circle broke up that night, Frank caught himself Inter nally offering congratulations to himself that he had come to 'I-aurolton.' "Pretty girls—of course they're pretty all of them," be soliloquized, mentally, as he carefully arranged his necktie, one bright, merry morning, a month after he had come to the farm-house. "There's Maud, with her matchless grace and her stately dignified manner. She should wear a coronet and never feel but what the strawberry leaves were honored by her acceptance. But not for a thousand 'Laureltous' would 1 spend a lifetime with her; when an hour ex hausts all her entertaining and instruc tive ability." § "1 wonder what aunt Sara and the judge would think if they knew of my private opinion of Maud and Ida? To be sure, Ida is a nice, ladylike little thing, and lias about as much mind of her own as a butterfly. 1 doubt if she ever really does think beyond the arrangement of ler pretty yellow hair, and the fit of those iimrveiouely tiny slippers of hers. From which it will be seen Mr. Frank Hazelton had been very observant. "There's the Misses Cloudesley—sen sible, intelligent girls as I ever saw; only Florence will persist In tyrannizing over dear little Irma—" Then the dinner-bell abruptly dis pelled his mental criticisms, and he went down to find them all gone in but Irnia Cloudesley, who, with a suspi ciously tearful face, stood before the mirror. She started, half-gulltiljr, as "Oh, 1 thought you hail gone In. You're late, Mr. Hazelton." "And so are you. What has kept you?"' He saw the flush surge over her cheeks. "I—oh—nothing—much." "Has Flo been teasing you again ?" He went close up to her, looking down Into her face. "No—nothing tt all. Plesoe go Into dinner, Mr. flarotton." She looked really distressed, In' saw ; but the headstrong fellow did not obey at A. 'Til go, in a moment. Irma. Tell ntc first If you are angry with me that vnu seem so eager to get rid of tue? Not only now. Irma, hut always. You avoid me continually." Site blushed rosier than ever and turned her face away. "No, Irma! you must answer me. Have I offended you 1" "No, Mr. llaaeltou, you have not. Plrotf go to dinner. They won't like It. and Maud will think—" ' She healtatetl, ami looked painfull] con ft lead. "Irma, I twadtlrely will not go to din ner until I know what Is the matter with you. If I never eat a mouthful again. What will Maud think? What right has uty oouaiu to think aujthing about what I do?" "Oh, Mr. llaselton you—'you are cruel to ask me. It was foolish In un to say a word." "hvery won! you say Is very sweet to me, liule girl. IVU me wby jrou dread Maud's knowing we are here, togvtln r> IVII me, irma, or 1 shall—Aim /" "Yon know well enough," she fal tered, de|wrately. "You know Uiev ail exiwH't you will marrv Maud, and " Frank laughed, and suddenly caught her in both his arms and kissed her. "IXm't struggle, Irma—Jou are tm Utile darling, aren't you? Yon love mo. don't you? Heeause I love you so ven dearly. Irma! dear lUtle Irma! Maud knows I never shall marry her. and 1 know I shall marry you, shan't I?"

"I coo-odor myself tins best judge of that. Miss lioudesley! Perhaps ywt think, In your humility, that you arc not more to tuc than ten thousand 'lavureltonV." "And I—really— uta /, F'rauk?" He kissed her over and over again. "Shall we go to dinner—or, has your a pin-lite vanished ? Mine has, after such nectar as your kisses." She laughed, thou he saw her beautiful tuoulli begin to quiver. "F'rank—you won't be angry, will you? promise ine! It wasu't my fault, truly, hut grandma's." She looked so wistfully at him, aud her language was so puzzling, thai in laughed outright "Angry?—uever! I'rotulsc you?— anything!" She lea ins i her head forward, so he , could uot see her face. "1 am not Irma Cloudetley. but lrtna Kansoiu. Sister Florence and I chauged identities with Maud aud Ida, who are really the klisaes t loudesly. So, afrer all, Frank, you shall have" 'Laiirelton' —lf you will take It. Will you—with . tue?" That of course settle*! It, since Frank was so anxious to have Irma. And so, after all. Aunt Sara's ruse of KNir aecom plished the desired end, on the unalter able principle that she and the rest of us women understand, that men are stubborn creatures, who are sure t> do just exactly contrary to the way you want them to do. The fourth * ourtshlp Women often wait for a husband licit Is pretty until they wait too long. It also happens to men sometimes. So it was with Mr. Griffith. When he was young he was in love with a Uaiitiful girl, but when be became a man he thought he could get some one richer aud prettier also and while he was thus thinking the opportunity was lost—she had married another. And now, reader, imagine that you are standing behind the door of the dining-room, listening to Mr. Griffith and his housekeeper's conversation. "You ought to have a husband. Lou." "And I think, Mr. Griffith,you ought to have a wife." "That's so, Lou; but pshaw, I don't believe In the women, as they are now a-davs. But when 1 think of it, they were not much better when 1 was vouug." "Why so?" "Ah, you've never heatd of my *hree courtships! 1 thought everybody anew all about them." "Well, upon my word. I don't know anything about them; but I should, indeed, uke to know . Ah ha, so you've been in love, too, have you?" "Yes. laiuisa, indeed I have, twite, even three times. The first is not worth mentioning, but the second is. Well, 1 clerked in a large grocery store; tin* owner's daughter was the encd. One morning 1 thought I'd make a sure thing of it; so 1 dressed up in my very best clothes, put tnv stove-pipe hat on one-sided, and off 1 went. So sooner had 1 opened the hall door than there came Fritz running down stairs, half losing his breath, lie ran against me at the same time knocking my flue hat of!, w nich he accideutly stepped upon, and exclaimed, "you'll please excuse me, but I'm so glad, that I can't help my foolishness. Say, what do you think? I've won her! How do you like that, sir?" 1 didn't say anything, but went home, and never mentioned the hat." "That was the second; tell me now about the third!" sahl Louisa. "Weli, 1 was then forty year* old. I had been out traveling, bud was just stopping at a small town in Fr&nee, when I noticed the smallest feet I ever saw on a woman; they were not hidden by a long dress, but neatly covered with snow-white stocking- and" slippers. In fact, she was a perfect beauty. She had a basket on her arm which con tained flowers. I stepjs'd up to her and asked her how she sold them. Sin told me, and 1 bought all she had. I continued buying from her for three weeks, when one day I l*ught all she bad to sell. 1 took my flowers and left, alien suddenly she came running to me Mying: 'Thank you sir. lam very much obliged to you" 'For what?' said I. 'Oh, sir, I can't thank you enough, you have done me such a favor.' 'How?' said I. 'Oh, sir, by buying my flowers; vou see, sir, 1 bad a sweet heart, aud his mother wouldn't let me marry him until I had one hundred dollars cash, and now, thank goodness, 1 have It. So to-morrow I mean to get —' Tiusb!' 1 exclaimed at the top of my voice. But she wouldn't hush unti she had finished telling me bow the wedding was to come off. At last she hushed her talking. 1 went home, aud afterwards left th§ town." "But Mr. Griffiths, do tell tne about the first courtship." "My first sweetheart loved another also. 1 could have wedded her if 1 had not been too slow and bashful, but site was engaged to this other man, and so she married him. I have had awful bad luck with women, and never w ill hare anything more to do with them any more." "But she was engaged, wasn't she?" "Engaged ! pooh ! 1 believe they are all engaged! Anyhow, she was the daughter of a large plantation owner. Her name was Lilly Fones, and 1 tell you she was a perfect little beauty." "Fones! Lilly Fones! Oh, my God I I ain she. I was once the happy Lilly Fones, but now—(she burst into tears) —I ain onlv Mrs. Bmnmcl." ' "Too bad, Mrs. Hummel. But what became of your htrebaud ?" "He Is dead." "And just think you have been my housekeeper five years now, and 1 never knew this before. But I guess things will turnout right at last." And they surely did. Louisa Is no longer Mrs. Kumrnel, but the honored wife of Captain Griffith. A Parisian Superstition. I was In a Paris peiimon a year and u half ago, perhaps, where a quite wealthy occupant, a man of forty or fifty years of age, committed suicide by luuiging himself. When the event became known a gentleman came to the honee, anxious and eager to obtain a piece of the rope with which the suicide had ended his days. And why? Oh, there is nothing else In the world no sure to Insure good fortune a* thtt, was the enthusiastic it in) confident reply. I fnnil*r the Incident because It w* tome an entirely new "old woman's notion," and I am now reminded of It hy a similar *ti|er slllion attached to a very wealthy American named John Burke, who has just died in this etiv at the Grand Hotel. 11c store told of lilui ami the acumu latiou ol" Ida Imnieiise fortune la tills; A doaen years ago he was a poor, V*g:i Uunlish fellow eager to make money, hut saturated with the hlea that the only thing which would Insure him success would la* to secure a piece of ro|M> with which some one had been hanged.

There is nothing to preveut a mail, iu this coun try, from hecoiuiug a horse -dootcr aud marrying the horse-leech's daughter, and it he chooses to run up tailor hills, l>art his hair in the middle, and doesn't sinell of soap-fat, the chances are he may become one the ornaments of what is called society. Society is all well enough in its way ; people cau't be young always ami it is a means ot making the most of the brief years of the flush of life, health ami Uuty. It must be a close corpo ration in which the male uiemUrs un expected to take a certain amount of stock, to be paid up instalments, to the hack drivers and opera nouses. IVople can't afford to U bored in this brief and artiticial life of vauity, and it the * prig h liter member* put up with insipidity occasionally, it is Itecause the wit of the drama or the strains of Thomas* orchestra are in some mea sure a compensation. The scientific man cannot expect to dropin oua party of young bucks w hose ambition is in the Itest titling boot, aud girls who are justly rain of a tapering well-rounded anu, with the bright bracelet thereon, and expect to have the floor for an ex pression of his views on the I'arwiuiau theory. Your scientific man must dance the German or he will go under; he must part bis hair in the middle, or the chief clerk of the international tea store will get all the favors of the day. So he lias no right to complain, nor has the man who persists in wearing a shabby-genteel coat, when he is able to get a Utter one. Society, as it is called, makes her own laws, aud there is too much cheap sarcasm aUut it. If a beautiful woman has the meaus aud the owportumty she naturally seeks society ; if she has the usual wo manly penetration she auickly detects the weaker and exalts the Utter man. It is a field for her where all candidates are expected to enter. The lists are open to all. It is only in society that she is permitted the use of all the aids to personal Uauty. The factories of tlie world are busy to weave In-r fair raiment. The artificiality of society permits ber to assume graces and ex firessions that are foreign to every-day ife. Where are all the little arts o! coquetry after her marriage—the little tricks of pouting. The poise of the hand, the arch glance irotu the side turned beadT Even her fau, the one of silk, with the Wattcau painting on it. the cupids and all. is laid away in the truuk to serve only as a memento of the old days of coquetry, and that night of the ball, when it did wonder* in the way of en courage men t ami whispered love in the zephyrs it wafted. So far it in well enough. We all know that the material of society is uol permanent; that the queens reign only a (rw seasons; but it is even more full of ahsurdit ies than it ought to IHV It has more miseries, outside of tight boots, than it ought to have. Society, of the kind we speak of, is for the bo --etit of our gn Is.and atVe tion to them is natural and expected. Women mnst la more exclusive than net, for charac ter with them is of a more delicate structure. But when a man—a voter, mind you, who mingle* in daily life with meu of all kiuds ; who is worsted and beaten dally in the struggle; who lias every opportunity of flmtiug out his mental calibre— sets himself up as a superior sort of person because lie happens to be a society man, it is to be supremely absurd. Perhaps it is the duty of every man to black his boots, or have them blacked, and to wear a clean shirt; but why a certain cut of coat and a ailk hat should mist- a man above the acquaintance of of his old time friends, is something anomalous in American society. This struggle for social prominence with us is getting to be a serious mat ter. It is destroying all recognition of patient merit. Unlike iu couutries where there are established classes, and where there are aubroken friend ships throughout Life, a man's inUiuacr witli friends is not proof against such a paltry thing as the difference le --tween the plug ha', and the baser styles. What becomes of a good record if dis aster overtake the family 7 Where are the memories of the grand old days, twenty years ago, when the lordly head of the family entertained the great cir cle of friends 7 The guests of those gulden days may tide now behind car riages of trumped-up crests and mon ograms, and be cut by the members of that household whose prosperity they then tasted. Society the world over is hollow enough, and this is natural; hut it is a problem whether this fever ish civilization that has sprung up since the war has not made permanent some odious features of American life. There is no other society like it, and the numlier of male idiots of an ob scure origin who tailor bills is daily owe increasing. Nomethl n* lo Ket n Thinking.

A Liverpool paper, in an account of It, says: "A fly was captured and put upon a leaf, fthlch Instantly closed, ami on reopening it was found that the fly was completely dissolved. A bit of beet was afterward consumed In the same way. The leaf was then fed with cheese, which disagreed with It horribly, ami eventually killed it.

The hlood is always found iu a venous condition in all parts oi the body, faith in cases of death in an atmosphere of ozonized air and of ozonized oxygen.' (In this pnrlieu'ar the action resembles that of carbonic acid.) 4. Ozone exer cises a destructive action on the living animal tissues if biougbt into immedi ate contact with them ; but it does not affect them so readily if they are cov ered by a layer of fluid. .1. tizooc acta as an irritant to the mucous membrane of the nostrils and air-paaAgc*. as all oliaervers have previously remarked. Il'ioi mules Wafer Hard.— -But, though insoluble in pure water which is alrt-adv charged writh carbouic acid, and as all rain-water brings down coi tion ic from the air, it is capable of tak ing up carbonate of lnue from the soils and rocks Lb tough which it filters; and it thus happens that all springs and rivers, that rise in localities in which there is any kind of calcareous rock, become more or less charged with car- Umate of lime kept in solution by an excess of carbonic acid. This is what gives the peculiar character water which is known as "baldness: " anil a water hard enough to curdle soap may lie converted into a very "soft" water (as the late Prof. Clark, of Aberdeen, showed) by the simple addition of lime water. which, by combining with the excess of carbooie acid, causes the precipitation of all the lime iti solution in the form of insoluble carbonate, which gradually settles to the bottom, leaving the water clear.— i'ojmhtr Sri rare Monthly.
