noon.FKLi.oTrsnn?.
A pilgrim once, upon his way
Drew wtufy Rl the closo of day,
And, feellnajia his eyelids creep
The gentle drowsiness of sleopj
Dropped down upon the mossy ground
At last, In rcstulness profound.
But, as he rose and onward troJ(
He noticed that a single sod
Orearthi on which his footsteps fell,
Exhaled a most delicious smell.
Said he: "What magte spsll Is here
To so enrich Ihe atmosphere!
No common earth Is this, I know,
To sweeten, by Its overflow,
So broad a space beneath the sky,
And perfume all who pass It by I"
The broken earth In simple trust,
Replied: "I am tut worthless dust;
Out once a rose out of my breast
Shone forth Its loveliness confessed
And so my consecrated mold
Was by another's worth controlled."
'TIj so with men, who fall or rise,
Often by kindred mlnlsterles;
And that they do not downward slip,
They owe to gooicompahlonship'.
From f Ac Persian, byjotl Btnlsm,
LIFE AND LOVE.
Life Is Is a garden fair and free,
But 'tis love that holds the golden key,
For hand and heart
Once held apart,
Life's flowers are dashed with storm of sorrow;
And bloom to-day may be blight to-morrow
Tnen heedless ever or wind and Weather,
Let life and love be linked together.
Life Is ft diamond rich and rare.
But lore is a luster that dances there !
For hand and heart
Once held apart,
Life's Jewels grow dim In the breath ot sorrow
And diamond to-day may bo dust to-morrow,
Then heedless of the wind and weather,
Let life and love be linked together.
Life hnth a fair and sunshine race
But love Is a beauty that gives It
For band and heart
Once hoM apirt,
The sweetest cheeks are paled with sorrow,
Anil blush to-day may bo blanched to-morrow;
Then heedless ever of wind and weather,
Let life and love be linked together.
THE PRICE OF A BALL.

"Doyou think It best for us to go.Dalsy ?"
Mr. and Mrs. Allan Waters had been
married scarcely mure than a year not
long enough for' the first gloss to be worn
off her wedding ring not long enough tc
forget tho enchanted gold shine of the honey
moon ; and now, upon this clear December
morning, tho , young wife sat at the break
fast table in a most becoming negligt of rose
ribbons and dnve colored cashmere, with an
open note in her hand, and her blue eyes
sparkling with delighted admiration. A
pretty picture to look upon for Mrs. Waters
was very pretty a tall, velvet-cheeked
blonde, with her hair sbiuing like braided
sunbeams bonrath the coquettish little
brcokfjit cap she wore.
"Best, Allan ? Why, of course It's best
Stella Da ire 1 ttould give her eyes
to get
caTxs Ui Mrs. Houston's ball."
... . . . , .
' 1 daro Bay said Mr. Waters, dryly,
"But did you ever read Grobe's Fables?"
"What uo you mean, Allan T"
rt , ,
" tliat " containsa story concerning
, an lion pot and a porcelain pot that swam
down a stream together. Of course, the hit
ter got smashed."
"I don't see what your ridiculousold fables
have to do witli me."
"A great deal my love I Mr. Houston is a
rich hanker. I am only a confidential clerk
in his brother' employ. Mr. Houston has
a tl ousand dollars, probably, where I have
o io. Our spheres lie apart. It Is best,then,
for us to compete with them in any one re
sped?"
"Because we attend a ball at their house,
we needn't necessarily compete witli them
pouted the young wife, beginning to pull at
the fringe of her breakfast napkins. "Of
course, if they invite us, it is only natural
to suppose that they want us to come."
"I presume, dear, we are Invited out of
compliment to Mr. Houston's brother, who
is kind enough to think favorably of your
humble servant."
"And It would be very rude not to go.1
"I don't think 'regrets' would be taken in
bad part, Daisy. Besides, what have you to
wear that would compare with the toilcttu
of Mrs. Houston's fashionable friends ?"
"That's Just what I am going to speak
about," said Mrs. Waters. "I really need
a new silk dress. That sea-foam green affair
Is actually beginning to look shabby, and
the black silk I bad when we wera first
married, is positively old-fashioned by this
time."
"It is only thirteen months Daisy.''
"But fashions alter so, Allan, you know.
Now there's a blue moire antique at Lord's
the loveliest thade you ever saw, and a
positive bargain on account of there being
only twenty-three yards in the pattern,
can get it for eighty-five dollars, and sister
Louie will lend me her point lace flounces
to trim It with, snd"
"Eighty-five dollars, Daisy! and for
moire antique dress? Po you know, jny
near, that that is almost a twelfth of niv
Veer's income J
"One must look decent one in a while."
He shook bis head gravely.
"No, Daisy. Iam sorry ' to seem bard or
unkind, but this is so wild sn idea thst I
can only conclude you have not thought
sufficiently about it yourself. Mrs. Hous
ton It very kind to Invite us to this ball,
but you mutt write a declination."
Dalty burst inter Usrs, snd for the first
time since their wedding dsy Mr. Waters
stalked out of tbs room without a good-bye
kiss.
That aftereoon earns tip a hurried not,
from his office, ss follows i
"Dearest Daist Please tend bearer my
vslise, with a few cbsngesof linen and other
necessaries for ad eight or ten days' absence
for the firm. Inclosed you will find a fifty

Daisy had been crying all the morning,
but now her eyes glittered. A new bright
ness came into ber face, ss the hurried hith
er and thither, puttiog up ber htnbsnils
things. And after the mesrenger was gone,
she looted down at tha fifty dollar bill in
ber baud.
"Light or ten days," sho'repested to her

In no hurry for bis money, and If ho Is I'll
Write to Coutln Charley to lend M fifty

cousin.
And pretly, eager Daisy, threw on her
bonnet, and shawl, and hurried down to
Lord's to buy the remnant of moire antique.
"Oh, certainly 1 certainly I Mr. Lord
was In no hurry at all for the money. Us
would wait Mrs. Waters' convenience any
length of time she chose to mention.''
And he unfolded the rich fabric, skillful
ly holding It Up so that the light should
striko Its silvery sheen to the best potsible
advantage
How beautiful II was. Torquoltes shot
with glltnmcrlug lines of s liver, buds of
blue forget-me-nots In the sunshine June
skies at sunset. Daisy thought of all these
beautiful things as she looked at IU
'Tlcase send it home at onoe," she laid,
laying down her fifty dollar bill, "and credit
this to my account."
And then shu tripped around to the dress
maker's. Mrsi Bartlet was at the dressmaksr's. A
plump, rosy widow, with more monoy thsn
she knew' how to spend. She had always
liked young Mrs. Waters, and now entered
with alacrity Into her plans.
"A nice place to go my dear," she said.
"Once let yourself bo seen at one of Mrs.
Lewis Houston's parlies, and your position
iu Bociety is settled at once. I have cards
myself, hut of course, so soon after my poor
brother's death, could not go out. Aud you
aro to go in blue moire antique, eh, my dear?
I'll tell you what, I want you to look nice,
and I'll lend you my diamonds."
Daisy's cheeks flushed exultantly ns she
thought of Mrs. Bartlett's diamond necklace
with its glittering pendant, and the brace
lets studded with gems, to say nothing of
the great solitaries, like drops of dew, that
hung from her earrings.
"Oh, Mrs.,Bartletf I" she exclaimed breath
lessly, "how can I ever thank you ?"
"Look as pretty os you can, my dear,"
said Mrs. Bsrtlett good naturediy. "That's
the way to thank me."
Miss Lyton, the 'dressmaker, and Mrs.
Waters were In deep consultation as to
whether the front of tho dress should be cut
a la pompadour, of with heart-shaped cor
sage, the next day ,when the latter was sum
moned down stairs. There stood Mr. Cllvc,
the carpenter, in the hall.
"Begging your pardon, ma'am for inter
rupting you," ho said, humbly doffing his
cap, "but Mr. Waters told mo you tvotltd let
rilo have tho money on my little account."
Daisy crimsoned.
"I am very sorry, Mr. Clive," she said
nervously, "but you must call agalli, next
month."
"Mr. Waters said you'd pay me without
delay, ma'am."
I can't help what Mr. Waters said," ex
claimed Daisy. "I have not the money.
Tliat'a enough."
"But, ma'am; 1 wns assured I should have
it without mistake. I need it, ma'am, to
send my sick wife out west to her mother's,
and"
"I have no time to stand here talking any
longer," said Daisy, mortified, ashamed, yet
still endeavoring to persuade herself that
the man had no business to be so persistent.
I will let you have tho sum as soon as os-
sible. In tho meantime you must wait."
Cllvc went away with a Sad face. Which
haunted Mrs. Waters for many a day, and
Daisy returned to the dressmaking opera
tions.
The bine moire antique was made and
fitted superbly. Sister Louie, who had a
rich husband, lent the point lace flounces
and overdress, and Mrs. Bartlett's man-ser
vant brought around the satin casket nf
diamonds early in the afternoon ; and Daisy
Waters went to Mrs. Lewis Houston's ball
in the same carnage with her sister and her
sister's husband.
"For once I am equal to any millionaire's
wife on the avenue," thought Daisy, with t
thrill of triumph at her heart.
Her entrance made a sensation. She was
quite aware of that, as she swept through
the brilliantly .lighted room J and It was
no small wonder for she was as beautiful as
a vision, with ber golden bsir, deep blue
eyes and queenly height, while the bluo
moire antique and diamonds set her off
rarely.
Mr. Lewis Houston leveled his eye-glass
at her as she pasted on after the nsual pre
eentation to the host and hostess.
"So that'a the- wife of eur confidential
clerk, Paul," said he to his brother, "A silk
gown fit for a roysl pristres, point Isce (hat
couldn't have cost less than one hundred
dollars a yard, and diamonds thst blste like
cornets; I don't exactly fancy that sort of
confidential clerk myself. Let me see how
much did you tell me you paid htm?"
"Fifteen hundred a year."
Mr. Paul Houston looked uneasily at the
bright vision.
"I can't account for It," he-said, thiwly.
"I always thought Waters to be a reliable
sort of fellow, but I must ssy I don't like
the looks of this. I'm afraid we have trust
ed him too far, although the accounts teem
straight enough. I'll look into them to
morrow."
ITe did look into tbem.
"So far the are right," he said tn himself.
"It's better to be on the saf side. A elerk
whoso wife dresses like a duchess can't be
altogether straight, I',l discharge him.
So Allan Waters lost his situation, at the
beginning of winter, with bard times star
ing him grimly in the face.
Mf. Houston told him frankly why.
"I saw your wife at my brother Lewis'
ball," said be, "dressed in moire antique
costly Isce and diamonds. Ibringnosocu
tation I have no complaint to make only
in these dsys of embezzlement, forgery and
defalcation, one bsi to look after himself,
And 'straws show which way the wind
blows.' "
When Waters went home, ko found
lawyer's clerk in the ball, with a letter
from poor Clive.
He wrote;
"My wile is dead. God knows whether
It Is your fault or not. Had you paid the
money yon owed 1 might have sent her
West, to her native air. It would at least
have been stcbsnce of life for her. But she
is gone, now, and I have only to lay that if
the bill it not settled at once, I sbsll rosort

"I hope you ere contented now, Dslsy,"
he said, as he went up stairs to the room

And Daisy knew at W, how dear a price
she bad paid for ber one night of triumph
at Mrs. Huston's ball.

Spokane Falls, Washington Territory,
claims to have a'm&dicuf lake a mile and a
half long that would have satlsucd even
Fonco de Leon's search for the fountain of
youth. Tho water is ctiar and of a dark
color, and besides curing skin diseases of
men and beusts, lays out nervous troubles,
rheumatism, paralysis and rlmilar ailments.
T-he water has not been analyred, but tastes
of salt aud uorax, is as buoyant aa the Dead
Sea, and the only animal life it sustains is
a species of jelly fish. The lake has no vis-
ble nutlet, and although fed by several
small streams, never increases or decreases
in size. In the slighest breeze the water
lashes into a foam which makes a superior
soap, and almost anything can be cleansed
in the luko much better than by the most
owerful chemicals.
