I can see him now walking up the flower-bordered footpath, by papa's side, so tall, noble and handsome, that my dark face flushed, when I perceived he was looking at me with his calm, dreamy, hazel eyes. I knew I lo,:k well, some people said I was lity:tlF.ortte, with my slender, stately form, and fine dark eyes. "Earl this is my daughter," said father, kindly laying his hand on my raven black hair. "Clandi:t, allow me to introduce Earl Vincent." He took my idle, whitehand, and bowed courteously ever it. "I am pleased to meet you Miss Mor ris," was all he said, but my heart beat glaily as he spoke. We enjoyed our pleasant tea on the cool veranda, and after that we went to the parlor, and Earl asked me to sing to him. O;' all my accomplish ments, music was ley very life. I pos sessed a rich theliow voice, and I did not hesitate to sit at the piano and sing one of my favolite airy -143 iteine " He stood entranced as my ivondrous voice filled the airy apartment with silvery sweetness, after had finished he kneed over the piano and said frdnkly : "You have a magniileent voice Miss Clau(iie ; did you ever sing in public?" "Once," I answered soiling, ''at a con cert, papa wished me ; I suppose he wanted the public to knew what a sweet voice his daughter had." I laughed merrily at his earnest face, how handsome he was, leaning with such indolent, unstudied ;2 r,:ec, over my piano, my foolish heart throbbed with pleasure as his dreamy eyes int?t. mine. We walked in the moon-lit garden after that, and as he talked to me, so eloquently, with his eyes full of fire and animation, I felt that my heart was no longer my own. That • was the commencement, we took long, pleasant walks tocether, we rode and drove frequently, talked Of poetry and flowers, until I was perfectly dazed with happiness. I knew he loved me, but he never had spoke of that tender passion, and I—well, I loved him as welt as my warm passionate nature was capable of Loving; my life was like an , enchanted dream, until Mabel Stuart came to Rose Cottage She was a schoolmate entitle, and we were bosom friends, a more beautiful girl I never be held, a dainty, fairy like creature that al : ways reminded MC cf Scott's lines : "A lovely, lan,liing nen, liaised by golden hair. Diniples h iii in 1,, ci,ecks, niubt divinely fair. It was ni:.•bt when she first met Earl. We were seated, she and I, in a pleasant little tete-a tete, close by the open window. The ,vax lights shown brightly down on her perfectly beautiful 'lice, the calm breez , l stirred the pale, gold ringlets that clustered over her blue, veined brow, and the folds of her delicate evening dress, fell gracefully around her slender petite figure. I gazed at our two reflections in the mir ror opposite us, she so fair and bewitch ing; I. yes, I was handsome, in my dark, rich silk and white lace, but for all that the contrast was painful to me, for when Earl came in, he started in surprise when his cps fell on Mabel—he greeted me kindly, almost tenderly, and I presented him to Mabel with a dark shadow of pain in nay heart She was a brilliant con versatinnalist. and the hours passed only too quickly. I wlls surprised when the tiny ormolu timepiece ciliated the hour of eleven. Earl rose to depart—when he bade me good night he whispered : "I never saw you look so handsome, Claudia ; I love you as I never did before " He shook hands with Mabel, and then went away to the city, promising to come and finish his visit at ].Lose Cottage. He bad been called away on business two days before, and he had driven down from the city, to see we ; because he said he missed me. "Well, Mabel," I questioned after we were alone, "how do you like Earl Vin cent ?" "He is perfectly elegant," said Mabel, brightly. "Ile is just the courteous gen tleman I would like to have for a lover." "Maybe you can captivate him, Mabel," I maid laughingly. I was full of happi ncss and could joke with my beautiful companion. _ _ "Perhaps I can It might not be a difficult task Claudie, I have won many a nian's heart, just pour passer la temps" "Mabel, now could you ?" my smile died away in a frown, I did not like to hear her so heartless. "Easily enough Claud, you know I never in a thing unless it is done right, a little display of my dimples, flattery and soft nonsense, then the work is done, eb, Claudio ?" 1: Il;c LiCEZC; 11:0MillgS `•We had better retire," I said briefly "I do not want to discuss a subject I know no+ hing about." We reached the winding stairway, and Mahal laughed in my face because I was provoked with her. "Ville von MOR tale JI 11 e," she said, mockingly, "shall I es cort you to your room awn mni "Do hush your idiotic French, Mal)." I a'n tired of your gibberage—good-night Mabel." She put her bare white arm around my neck and kissed me. "Don't be cross Claud," she coaxed, I was only in fun, you know I am all French, the accent isn't off my voice yet, but I will try not to speak in my fi►reign lan guage again to you, good night." She flitted away, like a white shadow ; and did not see my contemptuous smile at her slightly accented voice and French manners. I laid down on my bed and could not sleep. I thought of Earl, and then of Mabel's flower-like beauty ; that green eyed monster, jealousy, was already togging at my heart-strings, but at last. the god of sleep overcome me, and I slept notil the summer sun was high in the heavens. Mabel and I took a drive in my pony phaeton, after breakfast. I could not help loving her, with her childish ways and even her little sentences of French bad to he excused, she was so lovely and wiliul That evenino. Earl came again. I was singing at the piano, and Mabel was stand ing beside me, ever and anon her sweet low alto chimed in with my rich notes "You two would make your fortune on the stage," said Earl coming forward. "If your magnificent voices would not draw a crowd your faces and forms would." Mabel laughed. She was used to com pliments—l was not—and my dark eyes fla..hed with pleasure. "Will you play for me, Miss Stuart ?" said Earl. "I would like to hear you." I arose from the piano, and Mabel sat down, and began singing a sweet, little love song from "Martha." I stood at the open window, watching the two; the song was finished, but they were talking and laughing together, forgetting I was present "Will you walk on the veranda with me, Mr Vincent ?" it is just lovely out there " —Mrs. Julia Darr. 3lnbel's words, although sohly spoken, sounded in my ears like a death knell, and 'll:arl's reply did not lighten my heart any. "I would be more than pleased," he said, eagerly. "If Claudio will excuse us, or perhaps you will go too my black. robed non ?" "Thank you," I said, coldly, "such an invitation is not cordial. I will stay where I am. Certainly, I will excuse you both." They went out then, arm in arm, and my facA paled with a sudden fear, when I heard Mabel's silvery laugh, floating on the still night air. That night my troubles began. Earl came to stay at my home until he should go home fur good—then he would take his wife with him, and which would it be, Mabel Stuart or I But my mind was soon at rest—why should I say rest, when I never knew any peace. It was a sultry moonlight night in the hitter part of July ; all day I had been a victim to the headache, and heartache, too, if' I must be truthful; I knew it. must be cooler where the flowers bloomed, and the trees moved their branches in the warm, misty breeze ; I went out the side dour ; I knew Mabel and Earl were in the parlor, and did not care to be seen, as I only wore a cool white cashmere ney/igee, fastened at the waist with a scarlet ccrd and tassel] that looked like blood in the serene white moonlight. I sauntered around the garden until my robe was wet with evening dew- I was tired and sat down on a low garden chair completely concealed by trailing vines and pink roses; icy heart ached, I knew that Earl's love was no longer wine, and I, the proud, the cold and haughty Claudia Morris, was tired of living, yet had my father to live for, and my beauti ful cottage home My reverie was broken by hearing voices so clo,e, yet, I could not see who it was. I could distinguish the one voice now, that of Earl Vincent, low, tender. grave. •"It has not been long since I have met you, Mabel, but in that short while I have learned to love you, little flower ; will you ffn hoc with ice as my wife; tell me Mab, will you ?" I did not hear the answer, my form swayed like a broken reed, and I fell faint ing in the °oft green grass among the flow ers and dew. The gardner found me there early in the morning, and carried me to my room after consulting father For weeks I lay ill almost unto death, but pride con quered, and once more in early Octfiber went down to the parlor where Earl and had spent such happy days. They were both there, Mabel so ravishingly beautiful and Earl so handsome and looking so hap py. lie came toward me and took my hand. "I am glad you are well again, Claudia," he said frankly, we have missed you sadly; are %nu quite strong ?" 'Not quite, thank you." I disengaged myself from Mabel's clinging arms and sat down by the window, looking out at the still beautiful garden. "I shall drive out with you, to day, Clau dia," said Earl kindly and gently as ever. "I should be pleased if you would honor we. Just the same as he used to be, before Mabel eame—hke a flash the truth dawned upon me, he had loved nie as a sister, and I had mistaken his meauh, "When are you and Mab going to be married," I questioned abruptly, "soon ?'' "We will be married in Deeember," he answered truthfully, "how did you know we !civet] each other, little one ?" I drew my fleecy shawl around me, he had never dreamed of loving me ; why had I been such a fool, as to believe he once did love me ? "1 thought so," was lily only reply. "I have missed you so much," said 3label's silvery, accented voice, and I am so glad to have you with me again for a 'le compv in ion." "Did you like the fruit and flowers I sent you, Claudia? The fruits were the best and choicest I could find. I hope you enjoyed them." I looked into Earl's bonny eyes, God alone knew how I loved him, I felt faint and dizzy. "I will go back to my room," I said hastily, I did not want him to know I had given the fruit he sent me to the housekeeper. Ile escorted me gently to my room, and stooped to kiss me as he went away. "Dear little sister," he murmured tenderly, "what made you so ill—when you were su well and happy before you had that burning fever ?" "Don't talk so to me," I cried sharply ; "I am not your sister, and never dare to kiss we again." He looked back at me, as he closed the door, and I Nee him now, plainly as then, so hurt and offended that I called him back, but he was gone. So they were married in cold snowy De, comber, and my love-dream ended. They are living yet, happy and contented in sunny France I often receive letters from Mabel Vincent, and her husband always sends a postscript telling me his wife grows more beautiful every day, and sending love to little sister and the doctor. I look across the room now as I finish my story, at the bent form and silvery hair of my only friend and father, and sigh drearily. "Don't be unhappy my darling," he said, taking off his eyeglasses and look ing at me. "Earl Vincent lost a prize when he did not take you for his wife, in stead of little giddy Nab. Your father loves you Claudia." Well, it eases my pain to know some one loves me, but then 'tis hard to realize, men always pick a flower, Lnd leave for others nothing but "withered leaves," yet in the other world I too may gather the bright flowers, and be happy in heaven. You have my story now, gentle reader, and you know why now I am called an old maid. Others have sued for my hand, but all the love I had was given to Earl Yin cent fifteen years ago. ‘-tittt From White to Black. STRANGE CASE OF DISEASE IN PIIILADEL- PLIIA A Philadelphia dispatch says : For over sixteen mouths au up town physician has been attending a case of disease that is so rare that the like of it has never been known, or, at least, recorded in medical works. It is a case of real melanosis, or pigmentation. where the pigment, or me lauxalia, as it is technically called, which gives color to the hair and eyes, pervades the whole body. A boy born of white parents, and perfectly natural in color at his birth, turned under the disease as black as a full-blooded negro The parents live at No. 1307 Lemon street, the father, John Salter, being a mechanic. Ten months after his marriage, there was born to the, ceuple a fine and apparently healthy boy. The infant thrived, and promised to de velop into a robust man. He was a beau tiful child, with fair complexion, dark eyes and silky, dark brown hair, which grew in profusion. But in a few days the parents were alarmed at a remarkable change that was cowing over the child He gradually grew dark. At first his skin became a pale yellow, then deepened into a saffron hue, and then, to the terror of the parents, grew darker yet. The color was uniform all over the body, except at the joints, were it was a little darker, and in the palms of the bands where it was lighter. The once brown hair grew stiff and jet black, and the eyes also grew darker, so that the line between the pupils and the iris could not be distinguished. In spite of medical treatment the boy became worse, and grew very weak, all the time the color of his skin deepening. At last he became as black as a full-blooded negro. Then he was attacked by convulsions which grew more frequent and violent until they threatened the child's life. It was in one of these that Dr. Reynolds was called in. He sueceeded in curing the spasms, and then devoted his attention to the strange disease which afflicted the child. He at once recognized it as melanosis or pigmen tation, which is mentioned in the books in a general way, but there is no case given where it had developed all through the the body. This was over sixteen months ago, the child being then thirteen months old. Since then the boy has greatly im proved, by degrees becoming lighter, nntil now he is of a light chestnut brown color Since Dr. Reynolds has had the case in charge the child has been visited by over two hundred physicians. Dr Reynolds thinks the over-production of pigment, which caused the change in the color of the skin, is now checked, and the pigment will gradually be absorbed as the child becomes stronger. He has two upper and two lower teeth, but no signs of any others. He is very backward for a child of his years, and has a preternatural look of age. He was a very beautiful boy, how ever, and was so even when he was blackest. Dr. Reynolds intends writing an exhaus tive paper on this strange case, and has been carefully noting every stage of the disease for that purpose. The German Puzzle. The following somewhat simple puzzle has been furnished us by a gentleman of this city : The object of the puzzle is to place three articles of a kind on the lines mark ed "A," and three of a kind on the "B" lines, with a blank between. Take, for instance, silver dimes and one cent pieces. Place the dimes on the "A" lines, and the cent pieces on the "B's." Now change the cent pieces to the "A" lines, and vice versa, by advancing directly forward, either moving to the next unoccupied line, or jumping a coin over another (and only one at a time) of the opposite kind. Con tinue until the dimes and cents have changed places, and are iu regular order pue above the other. There can be no retreating; the moves must ail be made forward.—:Manchester (N. II.) Mirror. NEARLY all the post•offices in Texas are in charge of females. It works so well that the males now arrive and depart every hour in the day. In the Matter of Advertising. If you have goods to sell, advertise. Hire a man with a lampblack kettle and a brush to paint your name and number On all the railroad fences. The cars go whizzing by so fast that no one can read them, to be sure, but perhaps the obliging conductor would stop the train to accom modate an inquisitive passenger. Remember the fences by the roadside as well Nothing is so attractive to the passer by as a well-painted aign • "Millington's medi.sl mixture for mumps." Have your card in the hotel register by ali means. Strangers stopping at hotels for a night generally buy a cigar or two before they leave town, and they need some inspiring literature for food besides. If an advertiSing agent wants your bus iness advertised in a fancy frame at the depot, pay him about 200 per cent more than it is worth, and let him put it there. When a man has three quarters of a sec ond in which to catch a train, he invaria bly stops to read depot advertisements, and your card might take his eye. Of course the street thermometer dodge is excellent. When a man's fingers and ears are freezing, or he is puffing and "chewing" at the heat is the time above all others when he reads an advertisement Print in the blackest ink a great sprawl• ing card on all your wrapping paper Ladies returning from a shopping tour like to be walking bulletins, and if the ink rubs off and spoils some of their finery, no matter. They never will stop at your store again. llon't fail to advertise in every circus programme It will help the circus to pay its bills, and visitors can releve the tedium of the clown's jokes by looking over your interesting remarks about "twenty per cent. below cost," etc. A boy with a big placard on a pole is an interesting object en the streets, and len is a dignified air to your establishment. Hire about two. Advertise on a calendar. People never look at a calendar to see what day of the month it is. They merely glance hurriedly at it so as to be sure that your name is spelled with or without a "p," that's all When the breezes blow, wafted by a paper fan in the hands of a lovely woman, 'tis well to have the air redolent with the perfume of the carmine ink in which your business address is printed This will make the market for decent fans very good. Patnnize every agent that shows you an advertising tablet, card, directory, dig tionary or even an advertising Bible, if one is offered at a reasonable price. The man must make a living But don't think of advertising in a well established, legitimate newspaper. Not for a moment. Your advertisement would be nicely printed and would find its way into all the thrifty households of the region, where the farmer, the mechanic, the tradesmen in other lines, and into the fam ilies of the wealthy and refined, all who have articles to buy and money with which to buy them, and after the news of the day has been digested, it would be read and pondered, and next day people would come down to your store and patronize you, and keep coming in increasing num bers, and you might have to hire an extra clerk or two, move into a large block and more favorable location and do a bigger business, but of course it would be more expensive—and bring greater profits. Heaven on Earth. Nine miles from Walla Walla, Oregon, is situated a colony of Davisite Mormons. They call their organization the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth They believe that spirits return and take upon themselves new bodies, and that the spirit of Jesus Christ, John the Revelator, John the Bap tist, St. Peter, and about half the other old apostles, King David, Moses the law giver, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, have returned, been born over again, and that they now have those sacred children in that colony, and are only waiting, for them to grow up, when they shall conquer the whole world. They have a sacred corral in which those children usually play, which none can enter without taking off their shoes. Davis has a daughter about nine years of age, who, it is claimed, is the great external mother of spirits. She is the motor of her father's spirit—in fact, of all spirits—and is to be mated by her father to her brother in the flesh, who is the great father of spirits. Davis claims to have power over life and death, that he and all who believe faithfully in his doc trines may live as long as they please. Nevertheless, his wife, the mother of Jesus, died last spring, and Davis was complain ing of ill health when we saw him last The child Jesus is red haired and wears it long, and is slightly freckled in the face, has a long aquiline nose, a clear, blue eye and a pleasant expression. Members of this colony never shave or cut their hair and seldom ever comb it. The Gen tiles have nick named them "the barber killers." They hold their property in common, but Davis hold the deeds, titles, etc. Most of them say that communism is an imposibility, and they would gladly get out of it if they could do so satisfac torily, which they cannot do. They do not believe in marriage. They argue that Jesus was neither married nor given in marriage, but was as the angels in heaven, and that in the Lord's Prayer, Jesus pray ed, "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." And now that his kingdom has come and his will is done on earth as it is in heaven, they are mar ried no more, but mated by Davis to suit himself. Davis claims to be the Holy Ghost, the true representative of the etern al father of spirits, the standard of Israel, and commander in chief of heaven and earth. In a pamphlet published by him he says : "It is God's will that you do my will forever and ever." Davis is a Welsh man, and the remainder are English, Irish, Sctcoh, Scandinavians, Canadians, and a few backwoods Americans. When gath ered together for service they would re mind one of Mark Twain's unprejudiced jury. When we left the camp of Israel young John the revelator was trying to lasso some young ducks. St. Peter and John the Baptist were riding around on their stick horses mocking the ducks with their quack, quack, quack, while King David and Moses were making some mud marbles. TILE newest collar is called the "Safety." It is so named from the fact that it is high enough for a man who wears one to crawl up behind it and hide when his wife steps in at the office to inquire whether he wailed her letters. SHE asked him if her new dress wasn't as sweet as a Spring rose, and the brute said it was, even to the minor attraction of still having a little due on it. The True Woman. The true woman may be dark, brown or fair; plain in feature or lovely as a dream, it matters not ; she always carries with her the charm of goodness, and the light that shines through her features is a radiant halo, that brighten even unto the perfect day to which she looks with unerring faith and trust. She walks through the world as a Una of existence, contracting no stain from its impurities, though her hand is ever stretched forth to the fallen, to ena ble them to rise once more, and walk be fore the world in integrity and usefulness. Her daily life is an illustration of all that is gentle and loveable in our imperfect nature. Noble descent, high culture, and elegant surroundings, may or may not be hers, but she is true to herself in any and every position. She affects nothing, for she is superior to pretense of any kind, and the utterances of her lips are the faith ful exponents of her thoughts. Sincerity, benevolence and forbearance are her watchwords, and conscientiously does she abide by their teachings. She may, and often does have failures ; but she strives to congtor them, and assimilates herself to the ideal of true womanhood. Her life is a struggle to overcome evil with good, and in a degree she accomplish es it. Those who come within the sphere of such a woman unconsciously feel the in fluence she acquires over them, and the turbulent grow quiet, the morose brighten beneath her smile, and the bereaved heart clings to her as the stay of existence. Such women are scattered among the high and the low throughout all the walks of life, and a blessing and a charm they are to it! Without them the world would retrograde in the path of civilization, for it is their influence which acts as the con servative principle in the turmoils of life, and brings back wandering and bewildered man to the central point of his existence, his home, and the humanizing tics that are found there. As a wife her price is indeed above rubies," for she brings peace, kindness and tender lovingness of nature to crown the marriage altar; the orange blossoms of the bride ripen into golden fruitage, and many are the glad hearts that partake of its abundanee. Her happiness she freely shows with her friends ; her sorrows are sacred to her own heart ; to our Heavenly Father alone does she carry them for comfort and renewed hope. The children God gives to her she neith er regards as puppets to be dressed in the latest mode, exhibited and manufactured into miniature men and women ; nor does she consider them as little vessels of wrath, to be managed and worried into a morose or dissipated maturity. They are to her infant immortals given to her charge to be developed into rational and accountable human beings. She knows, that if sun• shine is necessary to give color and per fume to the fhwers of the field, cheerful ness, the domestic sunshine, is also a ne cessity to the human blossom; and her children are trained to feel that a soul at peace with itself is the only condition in which the earthly creature may find hap piness. Of such a woman it may indeed be said, "Her children arise and call her blessed, her husband he also praiseth her." A Battle Field. The grouping of falling men and horses, the many heaped up masses of deactmoved strangely by the living maimed among them, showing the points where the deadly strife had been more severe ; the c.)mming ling of uniforms of friends and foes, as both lies scattered on the ground on which they fell ; the groups surrounding this and that individual sufferer, hearing his last words, giving to him the last drops of water which will ever moisten his lips on earth; the stretchers borne from various points, each carrying some officer or pri vate soldier, who has now the startling feeling forced upon him, "It has come to this, and yet there may be hope of life;" his excited but over worn spirit, half faint. ing as it is, yet dreaming a mixed feverish dream of the charge in which he met his wound, and the thoughts of home that flashed upon the heart to a moment's ob- livion of all else. Then comes the first dawn of hope that life may be spared ; the view of horrid objects passed, seen with a dimmed eye; hope of life growing strong er, but with it now a dread of some opera tion to be undergone; the sound of guns still heard, begetting a feverish, impatient desire to knew the result of the battle. Again, a partial waking up at the voice of the surgeon ; he and his attendants seen as through a mist; the deafened feelings of utter weakness causing all to seem as though they spoke in whispers ; the still further rousing of the mind as the cordial administered begins to take effect; the voice of a comrade or friend lying close by, himself wounded, yet speaking to cheer ; the operation borne bravely, and felt the less as it gives promise of a life just now seemingly lost to hope ; through it all fresh news, ever arriving from amidst the din of the strife yet raging ; all this has a life, and motion, and spirit in it, which mocks the real grave horror of the scene. Time for Reading. Many busy people declare they have no time for reading ; but they aro mistaken. They have all the time there is, and some of the world's busiest men have found that enough to make themselves accomplished in one or more of the departments of knowl edge. Tho trouble is no lack of time, but wasteful habits in regard to it. Many per sons entertain the notion that one must have regular and definite hours of the day or week set apart for reading in order to accomplish anything valuable. There nev er was a greater mistake. The busiest life has margins of time which may serve, like the borders of the old missals, to enrich and exalt the commonplaces written between. Fifieen minutes in the morning, and as many more in the even ing, devoted faithfully to reading, will add appreciably in the course of a few months to one's store of knowledge. Always have a book at hand, and whether the opportunity brings you two hours or ten minutes, use it to the full. An English scientist learned a language in the time his wife kept him waiting for the completion of her evening toilet ; and at the dinner given to Mr. Fronde in New York, some years ago, Mr. Beecher said that he had read through that author's brilliant but somewhat lengthy history in the intervals of dinner. Every life has pauses between its activities. The time spent in local travel in street cars and ferries is a golden opportunity, if one will only resolutely make the most of it. It is not long spaces of time, but the single purpose, that turns every moment to ac count, that makes great and fruitful ac• quisitions possible to men and women who have other work in life.—Christian NO. 18.
