To a White Rose. Ob, queealy rose from Tempe's bowers! In thy frail beauty dressed, Thou art, indeed, of flowers The loveliest, E'en back in ancient Eden thon Wert beautiful as now. Thy snow white bloom Has pressed what brows! Thy sweet perfume, What souvenir of sacred vows | Love needs thee in her gentle art ; For Venus’ shrine was incomplete Fill thou with thy imperial sweet Didst joy impart. But never dost thou seem so fair, And never half 30 much in place— 1f beauty true doth beauty grace— As when "mong tresses brown you twine, Or hers, that blue eyed maid of mine, Who lulls thee on her heaving breast Todreamy slesp aud trembling rest; Or, when thy glowing petals press Her ivory brow! "Tis them sweet rose, I must confess, All other flowers are lovely less, By far than thou. I Peter Duke, of the firm of Duke & Co.—hs only son, Philip, was the com- pany—was a busy and prosperous man. ‘The firm was making money very fast in the soap line, and desired to make more. He was a plain, honest and hard-working man, apt to boast that he had started business with only a hun- dred dollars in cash, and now had multiplied the original capital by thous- ands. Ie spent little time in boasting, "however, being too busy in his effort ,to make the whole world wash itself clean with Duke's Kimolia, as he called his soap, and to force every laundress to use ls Konia, a powder ywhose detergent qualities were well known. Peter did not know the mean- ing of these words, but they sounded well, He had paid a literary Bohemian ter dollars to invent him something sonerous. The latter had turned to a Greek-English Dictionary, and found these under the head of *‘soap.’’ Peter {was pleased, and.so was the Bohemian (—with the ten dollars and a dozen cakes ‘of the soap thrown in. The soap itself was good. The aim of an expert soap-boiler is to reconcile sohdily of structure with a large volume of en- ‘closed water, Some of them increase the weight of the compound by the addition of extraneous matter, but { Peter was honest, and left out the dirt, His sale of Kimolia was great, and so was the profit, | - Besides a son, Peter had a fair daugh- ter, and, next to his soap factory and his shekels, he loved her. And Milli- ‘cent—her mother, now dead and gone, ‘had picked up the name from an Eng- lish society novel-—was quite a lovable person, She was good looking, fairly educated, and put on a good style, Through her school acquaintances and jher father's money, she went Into a very respectable set, and, as she looked ‘well, dressed well and talked well, had plenty of pocket money and a prospect- | ive portion of some size, and a present | tongue of her own, if needed, they for- | bore to turn up thelr noses at soap. | 'At first, those who were poor and proud | —and proud poverty is frequently inso- | lent— undertook to snub her a little; | but she gave snub for snub, and then, leaning against the valuable plle of soap | bars, defiled them.

You must send Moore about his business, ”’ Millicent shook her head, “What! You wouldn’t be married without my consent?” “Oh, no, papa! I never will; but when I am marrjed I intend to have my own consent. I have to live with the man, you know, and you don’t. As for Van Stopel—well, ‘a woman may not marry with her grandfather!” “Grandfather! What are you talk- ing about? Van is only forty. Younger yuan .

Just consider Mrs. Lavingston, she ‘gives a treat’—a grand party next month, and I have to go. And Idecare I haven't a dress that I haven't worn a half dozen times almost.” **That means you want a check. How much is it now?"’ “Ou! I'll be so economical, Two hundred and fifty wall do.”’ “*Two—hundred—and—fifty. That's economy, is it? Well, you shall have the money. I'll send Moore with it No, 1 won't, He must keep away. You shall have the money, but not Moore. When he car settle a hundred thousand on you I'll glve my consent, and not before; and I mean to tell him so. I'll have a serious talk with that young man." “You are not angry with him, papa, because he has fallen in love with me?”’ “No, that shows good taste; but he must have that hundred thousand dol- lars.” “I think, papa, I would like that hundred thousand dollars and Moore,” she added, archly. “Ffph!” said her father, explosively, and wended out to the office. When Moore came in with a glowing account of a large sale of Konia, he cut him short. “Never mind that,” he said; **I have something to say to you.’ And hesald it in a way se decided that Frank trembled in his boots, Then he wound up with: “You're very useful here, and I don’t care to lose you. I'll put twenty- five per cent, on your salary; but I won't have you turning Milly's head. She has promised not to have you unless I consent, and I have told her that I never will consent until you are able to settle a hundred thousand dollars on her. And I'll keep my word, That's all there is about it. I'll drop the subd- ject and do you drop her.” Poor Frank went out with different spirits than he had when he-came in. A hundred thousand dollars! Van Stopel called that evening, and to his great delight, found not only that Millicent was at home, but was disposed to be gracious. In general she avoided him on some pretext or was freezingly polite, but now she was pleasant and chatty. papa. sp profits will be more. If you were to put ten thousand dollars or more into the transaction, it would be different. Then a responsible broker, able to carry the amount, either by his own means or through credit, would treat the stock, which has kept uniform price so long, as favorably as he would a divi. dend paying stock, and give yeu a con- tract at 5, and possibly at 3 per cent. With your small amount, buy the stock outright. I'll recommend you to to a responsible broker; but he is one I never do business with—a good and honorable man, though; but you must promise that you won't tell him or any one else that I sent you.” “I promise that I won’t breathe it— not even to father.” Millicent played the piano for him-— she played fairly; and sung for him— she sang well. Van Stopel was in the seventh heaven, and was on the verge of proposing right then and there, but he lacked courage. Ie felt, however, in an ecstacy of delight, but it did not last long. He was meditating one of his great strokes of finance and that soon resumed possession of him to the exclusion of everything else. The next day, while the elder Duke was at the factory, Frank was at the house, a note having brought him. Milly met him, beaming. “Frank,” she cried, **do you want a $180,000 ‘Do I, Milly? Don’t I, the worst kind.” And he told her what her father had said. “He said the same to me, Frank. Can you realize on that mortgage of yours??? “No,.I can't, because I have, It was all pald up last week, and I'm looking around for a new investment in one lump if I can.” ’ A long conversation ensued, and Milly gave her views with great energy and decision. Frank demurred, but finally half gave way. ‘Has any one given you any informa- tion that makes you so confident?” “I promised not to tell.” “‘May be old Van Stopel—-"' ‘‘Ask me no more questions,” “Um! it is a great risk after all, Suppose it were to keep going down?” “I've written on this paper what you are to do then.

It leaked out that all the leading aucestry—the first of his forefathers was Cornelis Pletersie, with no Van at all—thought more of slaughtering the bears mn *‘the Street.” And he had slaughtered them to some purpose, He was forty years old, short, stout and red-faced, with loud voice and ob- trusive manners—everything but the imaginary, shrewd-looking man of af- fairs. He had begun a8 & boy in a broker's office, rose to be & clerk, went {rom there to the curbatone, and then to a seat in the Exchange, and his wealth was very far up in the millions, He had been too busy to think of mar- riage, but he had a remarkably fast horse, and why should he not buy a wife? Millicent rather rebuffed his advances, but he knew the value of money and bided his time. There was a rival in the field. Myn- dert did not know it, though if he had known he would have despised such a competitor. This was Frank Moore, ths general manager employed by the firm, who was highly valued because he was faithful, trustworthy and knew all about the work. He had a good salary and a slight commission on the sales ot the Konia, which he bad invented. Prudent, though not parsimonious, Frank hal managed to save some money, and had $20,000 saved in bonds and mortgage, beside over $2,000 in bank waiting for a good investment. A very good match he might hope to make, but to think of marrying Milli cent, and a handsome fortune, seemed preposterous. Millicent did not think so, Frank, who came and went a familiar visitor to the house and a great crony of Philip, had known her since she was a little girl, and in this case, at least. familiar. ity did not breed contempt. The two had a very good understanding with one another, and the senior Duke, for a time, was not well informed in the premises, But such Jhig3 wi) leak out, and at last the elder Duke heard of it. He rubbed up like the compound in one of his kettles, and interviewel his Sauguter on the matter. . , Milly," he said, ‘‘I'm not angry; but I want you and Moore te stop your philandering nonsense. You ought to make a better match. Moore is a very nice young fellow, I own; I'd find it, hard to him in the fac- tory. But I don’t want him for a son- in-law. You ought to look for some one higher.” “Higher, papa. Do want me to be married bys son of ? Frank’s six fool and an inch.” : “Stuff! You know what I mean. Don’t talk that to me.

He explained all about puts and calls and options and margins, buyers’ ten days and sellers’ five, so clearly that his fair interlocutor didjnot understand it. But she did not Say 80. “I should like to speculate myself I hava $250, and I should like to double “Miss Duke, you are very fortunate for just now there is the greatest--that is, 1 think I know of a stock that will surely (I mean probably) rise to a high —& better figure shortly; and if you intrust your little venture to me, I promise that you shall much more than double it.” “0, thant you!

Could you, now?” And she beamed on him a bewitching smile that fairly subjugated the great “bull,” and tipped his horns with rap- ture. He smiled in return, hesitated, ~—and the man who hesitates, surren- ders. “There are several stocks that are down,” he said, “‘that may up 1 should recommend the B, 8. and W.” “B. 8. and W?» “Yes—the Barfield, St. Barnaby and Waukeesaw Railroad, It is standing now at 9.” “How am I to go about it, please?” He told her. “Dear me! I shall never remember all that, I'lease to write it all down for me, will you?’ Van Stopel, still umder the fascina- tion, took out ls pencil and wrote, while Millicent sat by, expectant, She was at his shoulder, her breath fanned his temples, and he could scarcely write legibly, but he , 80 rauch,”’ *Oh, thank “Now,” he, **I have shown you two ways.

Now a corner 1s a two-adged sword, and keen as a razor, unless managed dexterously it cuts both ways. A gang of brokers in the face of ruin are like bucks at bay. They are dangerous. But Van Stopel was master of his art, He did not desire to ruin anybody, if the result was to destroy his profits. With a noble magnamimity not pro- perly appreciated by this evil generation he compromised at 50. His gaina only amounted to a few millions, street breathed easier. Moore. who did the same thing—had to in fact, for when the lion roars the cat cries, breathed very fast with astonishment, The day after all was over, Peter Duke came into the counting-room and examined all the letters of the morning. Suddenly he tapped his bell and sent for Moore, but the manager had goné to Wall street. “What takes him there? Send him in when he comes,” and at the word Moore entered. *‘Oh, you're are u? I have a letter here from Jen ow did that last invoice of fat turn out?” “Lovely, sir; lovely. Everything is lovely, and the <n} “What is matter with you, Moore? You seem excited.” “Do 1?

A cast was taken of the closely woven links, and three new ones, exact fac- similes of the old one, were made. Then the fair arm was stretched out on a shelf, and the new gold was caught into the old by flue wires, Two of the old links were cut out and the new ones slowly and carefully substituted for them, the improvised wire links keep- ing the bracelet a unit, as it were, all the time.
