Yet purer thin the robe she wears;
White flowers she holds, the fairest known,
Yet sweeter han the flowers she bears

And find, beseath that white veil hid,

Love's lightbenoath that long fringed lid.

And laugh tle piping birds to ssom.
Fair kinsmen, (iss the bonny bride,

And if her eye are filled with toars,

My love can ose the misty fears
And kiss theunshine back again.

DELICIA,
She was so exquisitely beautiful, it
was actually provoking that there
shouldn't he the least romance about
her. Waves of pale gol hair rippled
away from her peariy lore and
were gathered into a superb knot at th
hack of bir head. Such a bine gleamed

** you have effectually prevented

His voice closed faintly; the blood
was spurting from his wrist. He sank
upon t t her feet.
Delicia’s cheek grew white, HT
knew the danger ofthat terrible bleed-
ing. Unless it were stopped, the man
would in a few moments be dead.
Springing to the side of the now unre-
sponsive stranger, who seemed unable
to utter another word, she snatched her
handkerchief from her pocket, and
i it about the wounded arm, in-
stick picked from the ground,
making an effectual ligature, and,
the ahatement of her terror, saw the
frightful jets of blood subside.
The stranger's white face, the deluge
of red blood, the sudden relief from
spurring terror, turned Delicia faint.
Then she struggled hard against a terri-
ble reeling sensation. and held her own.
She thought wishfully of the glass of
cordial upon the hall table, but her feet
refused to stir.
Suddenly steps sounded at the gate.
To her inexpressible joy and thankful-
ness, Aunt Thankful and Bob appeared.
Delicia explained to the former,
briefly, though her voice sounded far
away to herself.
“ Wounded—hurt—bleeding awfully!
Boh, ride for a doctor fast as you can
go!” cried the old nurse, instantly in
her element.
The wounded man was making visi.
ble efforts to keep from swooning, but
when Aunt Thankful had administered
a cordial and bathed his temuples in cold
water, he rose and walked weakly into
the house, where, at her solicitations,
fie stretched himself upon a sofa, and
then unexpectedly fainted.
“1 don’t in the least understand who
this man is,” remarked Aunt Thankful,
steadily applying restoratives, *‘ bul

never saw torether before. Wanted to

"
The driving of the doctor’s buggy
into the yard stopped her remarks,
when Delicia returned to Alta Vanne-
var to find her in a wandering delirium.
Three strange days were devoted to
nursing the invalids. A burning fever
made the young girl unconscious.
Aunt Thankful’s charge was con-
scious, but very weak and silent. In-
deed, he seemed to himself to be in a
dream half full of delights, but pervaded
by a great trouble which Le could
searcely name,
The radiantly lovely face of Delicia,
footsteps pervaded his
like a blessing, while his desperate quest
by him in the bodily weakness and in-
action of brain caused by excessive loss
of blood.
* How long have I been here ?"
Delicia sat by him, having taken
Aunt Thankful’s place for a few mo-
ments, and started from a momentary
absence of thought to find Guy Van-
nevar’s eyes fixed piercingly upon her.
“This is the fourth day. Are you
better ?”
“1 am notsick,enly in a sort of dream
which I eannot wake myself from.”
* You are very weak.”
“It was you I saw when I came here,
wasn't it ?”’
“Jt was I who shot you,” replied
Delicia, blushing.
“J—I remember. Oh, my sister
lta!” —trying to rise upon his elbow..
“ Lie down, please. You must not
exert yourself. I have something to
tell you,” said Delicia.
i Lieve been here four days, you say.
Good God! what will become of her?”
“ Drink this coffee and try to be quiet.
Alta is safe.”
“How can you know?”
“1 have her in my care.

The Hyde Estate.
The heirs of the Hyde estate met in
Jaltimore an short time ago ana organ
ized nn union known ns the ** Hyde Asso-
ciation of the United States of Amer-
ica.” The Rev. John P. Hyde, of Mar-
tensburg, W. Va., occupied the chair.
Mr. George A.
attorney for the heirs of Thomas Hyde,
was elected secretary, and Thomas |
Hyde, of Washington, treasurer. The
questions discussed were: “* Do the es- |
tates exist?” * Are they attainable by |
the American heirg?” and “Is thena- |
ture of the claims such as to warrant le- |
gal steps being taken with a view to ob- |
tain the property" A great deal of docu-
mentary evidence was read, dating
hack as far as 1730. From the proofs at
hand it was decided to take steps to en-
force the claim. A fund isto be created
to pay expenses, and George A. Hyde, of
New York, who has made himself fa
miliar with the law on the subject and
the facts will probably be appeinted at-
torney, and will visit England to
prosecute the suit,
The heirs claim that there will be
from fifteen to twenty-»ix estates, vari-
ously estimated in valve from $60,000,-
000 to £600,000,000, The Hydes of Mary-

Do Animals Resist Temptation,
Temptation frequently begets in the
dog, cat and other animals the same
kind of mental or moral agitation, and
the same sort of result, as in man. Some- |
times we can see—h the dog, for instance
—the whole play a the animal's mind
the battle betwen its virtuous and
vicious propensitits, its promptings to
the right and its endeavors to stick by
the right. its longing for the wrong—
for the tidbit, which it knows would be
improper to steal—and the final triumph
either of virtue ortemptation, The poor
animal, knowing or feeling the weak- |
has the!
strength, the foree of character, the good |
sense, to avell temptation altogether, |
| most trying temptations thrust unex- |
pectedly upon them, and then comes the |
| —the moral tirmoil that may make
| shipwreck of or that may strengthen
| virtue. Sometimes, then, by the dog, as
| by the man, temptation is successfully
| resisted after perhaps a series of pro
{ tracted and painful moral struggles that
have been very apparent to the onlooker.
{ Unfortunately, however, equally in dog
| and man, the résistance of temptation is
less common by far than non-resistance
| or non-success in resistance, the result
of which is various forms or degrees of
wrong doing. —~Popular Science Monthl:.

The Men Who Were Not Hanged.
The following story is told in Waite's
* Life of Wellington" “* 1 got famously
that occasion,” said the
“The troops had taken to plun-
It was necessary
to stop it, and I issued an order an-
nouncing that the first man taken in the
act should be hanged upon the spot, One
day just as we were sitting down to din-
ner three men were brought to the door
of the tent by the prevol. The case
against them was clear, and 1 had noth-
ing for it bat to desire that they should
be taken away and hanged in some
place where they might be seen by the
whole column in its march next day. I
had a good many guests with me on
that occasion, and among the rest,
think, Lord Nugent. They seemed
dreadfuily shocked, and could not eat
their dinner. 1didn’t like it much my-
to indulge my feelings; I must do my
duty. Well, the dinner went off rather
and next morning, sure
enough, three men in uniform were
geen hanging from the branches ot
tree close to the high road. It was a
terrible example, and produced the de-
gired effect; there was no more plunder-
ing; when, some months afterward, I
learned tliat one of my staff’ took coun-
sel with Pr. Hume, and as three men
had just died in the hospital they hung
them up, and let the three culprits re-
turn to their regiments.” *‘ Weren't you
very angry, duke?” * Well, I suppose
I was at first, but as I had no wish to
take the poor fellows’ lives, and a< the
example had the desired effect my
anger soon died out, and TI confess to
you that I am very glad now that the
three lives were spared.”

Humers of Plagiarism
As a rule, says the Cincinnati Com-
sncresad, it is not safe to plagiarize; bet
| to this rule, as to most'others, there are
exceptions. A minister of
New York had been accused of preach-
H
¥
$F
| Presbytery to account for his offenses.
| the Presbytery a carcfully-prepared dis-
| course, in which he would set forth
| thedootrines he held. At its close the
i menbers were called upon to pass
judgment upon it. Some denounced it,
i several sald it contained the rankest
| hewsy, others considered it orthodox,
opnion. Before the final vote was
| talen the accused was permitted to
| mike a statement. He told
th: sermon he had just preached wos
lore of Dr. Chalmer's, snd directed
| where it could be found; and remarked
futher that if they declared him a
haetic on the strength of it they must
| dwlare the great
ore too. Some of the brethren then got
{ mad at the trick played upon them, but
ial comcluded that the proceedings
{ against the accused had better be
| dropped.
Another case of justifiable plagiarism
was that of an eminent minister whe
| aatwitted a brother minister equally
fninent. No. 1 entered the church of
Yo. 2 just as he was about to announce
| lis text. No. 1 tried to sit near the
coor, but No. 2 spied him, and invited
| Him to a seat in the pulpit. No. 1 once
{ in the pulpit No. 2 whispered to him,
| * You must preach for me this morn-
§ ng.” “No,” I said, “1 came to hear
| vou, and Iam goingto.” No. 2 insisted,
{ind No. 1 finally consented. So No. 8
{ *emoved his sermon from between the
{leaves of the Bible, placed it on a little
{shelf under the pulpit, and took a seat
in the congregation to enjoy his friend's
sermon. No. 1, as he rose to preach,
took the sermon from the shelf, and
went through it word for word,
doubt to the edification of No. 2, who
wrote it.
No Royal Read.
The humorous paragrapher of the
time often bears hard oa existing
evils. For instance, the man who wrote
that a son. once declared to his father
that he would never learn a trade, but
that he quickly changed his mind, fo
in six months afterward he was making
shoes in the penitentiary, with all his
community. There is no royal road to
learning, neither is there any to wealth
and position. If the daysof a man’s life
when the faculties are iipening and
when the impu'ses for good or evil are
strongest, are allowed to slip past with-
out an effort being made to work and
exercise self-denial, ruin and disgrace
will be the inevitahle result, The
young should be taught habits of indus-
try, whether rich or poor. But unfor-
tunately we do not hear of young men
who will yet be heirs to fortune taking
a position with the common sailor be-
fore the mast, toiling in the factory,
sweating at the forge or following the
plow, so that by experience and knowl-
edge of all the details necessary to make
up the perfect workman they may be
fitted to follow out some honorable vo-
eation in life. Nor do we find women
throwing aside their trivolities, settling
down to the performance of household
duties, and by a thorough eoturse of
practical training preparing themselves
to rule in the kingdom of home. And
that is not the worst side of the ques-
tion. Unfortunately, this neglect of
ractical education is not contined to
the rich. Even those in humble cir-
cumstances have become imbued with
Jp same false ideas as to what consti-
ws true dignity, and disdain labor.

Bridal Costumes of Fernando Po.

clad in white—not the gauzy, flowing

Fernando Po bridegroom is even more
elaborately decorated. It is a work of
time as well as of art to make the young
gentleman ready te take the neceasary
vows before the two mothers—his own
and his intended's—who act the part of
priests. Like his bride, he is thickly
plastered over with the white lola paste,
and he wears on his head an enormous
disc of fine bamboo plait skewered to
his hair with long pins with blue and
red beads tor heads. His marriage
raiment is of strung shells, and it being
| notorious that the instant a young man
commences to make himselt ready for
marriage malicious evi. spirits are in
close attendance, and on the alert to
baulk his laudable intent, as an antidote
against their malevolence he carries in
his hand the whole time, and never
takes his eyes off, a piece of a yam
shaped like a heart, and in which the
red feather of a parrot is stuck. The
marriage ceremony is the essence of sim-
plicity. The mother-priests place an
arm of each round the neck of bride and
bridegroom, and deliver a short address
to them on their respective duties, after
which the calabash of palm wine is pro-

Fish Killed by Lightning.
A correspondent of Land and Waler
ays: A curious incident of the whale
of the occupants of a small fish pond
being destroyed by a flash of lightning,
is reported from Seck. grand duchy of
Nassau. The Nassawer Bile states that
duringav heavy thunder and hail
storm at night time, a flash of lightaing
struck a small pond weil stocked wi
various kinds of tish, the property of the
pastor of the parish. e following
morning the whole of the fish were
discovered dead upon the surface of the
water. They had all the appearanes of
having been half boiled, and cranbled
to pieces at the least touch just as is the
case with fish after being boiled. Neither
any external nor ‘internal injury could
be observed, the scales being intact and
the swimming bladder filled and well
preserved. The water in the pond was
still muddy and dull the morning after
the storm, as if the lightning had only
then struck it. 3
The Tichborne case has once more
risen to disgust and trouble England.

ground that the offensés of perjury for
