THE GRACE OF LOVE.
A great while ago, there once lived a |
very beautiful and very rich little Prin-
cess, So beautiful and so rich she was |
that suitors from all parts of the world |
came flocking in shoals to her palace, |
wearing out pantaloons by the million |
in protracted and agonizing kneeling at
her tiny feet.
Notwithstanding the glory of it, how
over, the little Princess did not much
anjoy this sort of thing; for whereas
other young ladies could spend their |
time in making delightful slippers and
comfortables for their friends, this poar |
little thing had to employ all hers in
|
knitting everlasting mittens (which are
very awkward, disagreeable things to
make, besides being never pleasantly ac |
cepted), so that many atime did she
wish she might only have been born |
married, and thus have been spared |
this continual worry and vexation of |
soul,
For she was a proud fastidious
little Princess, and had declared that |
she never would marry until she had |
found one who was in every way her |
superior, as was, of course, all extreme- |
ly right and proper; only, though all |
kinds of paragons came {0 woo, seme- |
how or other none of them ever proved |
superior enough to succeed in winning |
the little Princess for his bride. It
really was pitiable to see so many fine
fellows turned off daily but the Prin-!
cess and become so accustomed to it
that she grew quite callous-hearted on
the subject; and when she heard that of |
the thousand rejected, seven or eight |
shot themselves, and five or six felt
bad, and three or four cut their wis |
dom teeth, and one or two stayed sin
gle, all for her sweet sake, she never
shed a tear.
wy one day, as a hundred or fo stood
ifi the outer court of the palace, squeez- |
ing on their gloves, and practicing ten- |
der glances and sighs peparatory to en- |
tering the fair one’s presence, a young
man, of very different appearance from
the rest, came quietly up and joined
them,
“Well, fellow,” said the
“*what errand brings you here?”
“The same as that on which

pect. “You! Youn pretend to be her
superior? You indeed?”
“1 am,’ he replied, unmoved,
I love her, and love ennobles,
Whereat the other laughed eontempt-
uously. :
“Just hear the fool!" cried one. |
““This graceless beggar dares to love!” i
“Put him out!” screamed another,

“Let him stay,” said a third with a |
shrug. *‘It is as well to have a valet at
one’s back.” |
The man at whom these sneers were
cast smiled composedly, ‘Fortunes
change.” he said, “You who call me |
valet shall yet see me carry of the Prin- |
cess to-night before your very eyes.” |
A murmur of derision ran through
the crowd. But at that moment the
palace doors were thrown open, and the |
court herald announced in a loud voice
that her royal highness would now
deign to receive offers; and that going |
in, suitors would please take the right
hand door, and coming out the left
hand door, that thus enollisions of a
painful and disturbing nature might be
avoided, and that, furthermore, no
suicides were allowed in the royal pres
ence. An immediate rush ensued to-
word the entrance, which opened di-
rectly into the great hall where the
Princess sat upon her throne, with
thousands of cushions lying before her
over the floor, that suitors might not
catch cold from kneeling too long upon
the marble pavement, while huge hogs-
heads, filled with highly-colored and
various-sized mittens, were piled up
artistically in the background, i
“Beautiful” is no fit word wherewith
to describe this Princess, Had Webster
or Worcester or any other dictionarian
seen her, he would certainly have in- |
vented some words on the spot more
capable of expressing the charm and
grace and perfect proportion of feature,
form and soul which went to make up
this rare and wonderful maiden,

sentiment and pride, the crowd of
sultors made their efforts, extolling
their several excellencies and advant-
ages over each other and everybody
else, and modestly bringing into view
those points wherein they bid defiance
to be divinities, But to-day, as yester-
day, none was found superior to the
Princess. Ope after another was duly
admitted and dismissed with a consola-
tory cigar, and the promise that his
name should not be handed in to Mrs,
Grundy, who, peri in hand, sat in the
reporter's chair; and still the little Prin
cass waited smiling and peerless, upon
her throne, in royal but wearing single-
blessedness, Yet all this while the
#irange young man, who had come in
with the rest, said never a word to
press his suit, and while the others
were praying and groaning and making
no end of a to-do, he alone stood up-
right and silent, and bkeld his head
straight and high as if in proud dis.
dain,
The little Princess was only a woman
after all, so, of course, she grew piqued
at last,
“Pray, why do you come here, you,”
she said, pointing her tiny ivory finger
at hiro, with an inimitable mixture of
scorn, “if not to woo me
with the rest!”
“I come to wed, lady, not to woo,”
he answered gravely, and moved for-
ward with unbending head,
“To wed?” echoed the Princess, with
a laugh that rang forth so deliciously
sweet, that to hear it was to think only
of the ripple of silver waves against
shores of the purest crystal. “And
pray, friend, is that your wedding
garb?”
‘*She whom I love will look to the
aeart rather than to the raiment.’ an-
swered he, as unabashed and gravely as
before; and the Priucess felt rebuked,
and bit her sweet lips.

Captain Raymond is well past seventy,

Raymond picked up at sea two men
who had been shipwrecked, and were

A Tooth from a Mans’s Nose,
A peculiar piece of dentistry was
performed here, be which & tooth was
extracted from William Bernhardt's
Mr Bernhardt was kicked by a
horse sixteen vears ago and some of
his teeth were knocked out of place.
When he had recovered from the ine
juries resulting from the kick he was
troubled with a dull headache, which
has scarcely ceased a day since that
time. He also had a distressed feel
in the upper portion of his nose an
supposed that he was suffering from
catarrh. In course of time he discov.
ered what he thought was an extra
piece of bone and a doctor dug out one
the teeth. Sinee that time he had been
troubled still more. There was still
another tooth that had grown lonesome
and longed to get out. Drs. Condon
and Cook yesterday undertook the job
of arresting the roving tooth, which
had gathered little moss, and captured
it. This is probably the first record of
a tooth being extracted from a person's
nose. — Ogden, ( Cal.) Commercial,

Constock, swallowed a pair of woolen
mittens. The calf grew to be a milch
cow, and was apparently doing well,
until a short time ago, when Mr Brown
noticed that she was not doing as well
as usual. She seemed in mach distress
when she moved around, and had a»
great desire to lie down all the time.
iin Iy she died, and Mr. Brown cut
nose,
