Many a young ladyntmld lmve had it

especially in this nineteenth century
that the vows, men make in the days of
their courtship are longer lived than the

B rtha Ashby met Carol Leighton at
an eveaing party, herself the plainest
dressed, yel as us.ual the prettiest young
lady iu the room. Young ladies in silks
and satins.who wore costly gems as crna.
merits, wondered that (he young lady
whom they treated with pitying condeg
cension dared come among them in a
plain muslin and natural flowers, and
thought every beau devoid of taste and
breeding who in the face of their charms
would go over to her from them and even
receive their snubs. Bertha could snub
youtig meu of whom even a breath of
slander reached hergircinusly. Not one
of tin Re young ladies wonltl ndmit even to
herRelf that she wa. jealous but they
unreservedly admitted that they did be.
liove in the "fitneks of things." and if
Mr. Ashby couldn't dress his dinghter
for the company she kept, she should keep
the company she rould dress for; aud
though each at heart blamed her neighbor
for keeping the yonng person in Bocioly,
nnt one had the conroge to take the lead
In louring her ofl their visiting 1UI. And
he father w ih such a rourtly iteutltm n

William Ashby had o nn to K some
two years before, routed a small house,
furnished itsirutdy, put his daughter in
to the best sobool in town, paid as he
went, said nothing of LU past, talking not
of his future, but liiing with frugal cue
that bad stamped him in the town ofK
as a "broken down geutlemau." When
Bertha had finished her eilncatloo, accord,
ing to the regime of education prescribed
by the Misses Madden for tho seminary,
the young lady was introduced, by her
fond papa into the sooiety he frequented,
Her charming simplicity ,of manner won
all u ho had uo r;ason to fear her as a
rival, ao it came about that those wbo did
d ined not exclude her, for the very con
fession such a slight would carry; and so
Bertha AkI.by was lo-night,as many times
before, ao unwelcome gueat at John
Loigbtoo's house at one of bis sister's
charming receptions.

dangerous young lady was anay, asked
with deep Interest
'Who Is that bctuliful creature Fred
Height has just led out to dance?"
Miss Leighton, with that short-sight
edoess which characleriz-ssonia womru,
whetted bis curiosity aud interest by pre
tending not to ltuow while had she, with
the cleverness of Mrs.Bngby Smith.said,
"a poor young persou whom we invite
for the sake of her father, a broken-down
gentleman," her nephew might, like Mrs.
Smith's son, have been Unified lest his
susceptible- heart be caught, aud he lead
to the altar a charming bride with that
dreadfnl bugbear, rfter the mother-in-
law, a father-iu-law, as an encumbrance.
But Curol was not on a matrimonial
sccut, but rather bent on having a plias
ant evening, nnd that with tho prettiest
girl he could find tn help him to it; ac
cordingly, when his aunt did uot know,
he set to work to find some oue who did,
and succeeded.
"That charming creature, to bo sure.
She is Bertha Ashby, the most charming
Rirl in all K . Your allut didn't know
her? But, nhl you have to learn, my
dear hoy, all the ladies fear her, and
know, too, uot one will be willing to in
troduce you. But come on I will, glad

Carol, John Hall led bim to his. fato.
Miss Ashby, permit me to introduce my
friend, Carol Leighton, the nephew ot our
charming hostess Mr. Leighton, Miss
Ashby, the lady we all isb to waltz with;
so if you cravo that honor, I shall repent
my kindly office."
Miss Ashby extended her fingers, dain
tily touched those of Mr. Letghtou, and
smiled as every oung lady iu the room
had smiled upon ltim that evening. Yet
the touch had thrilled him us no other
had doue, and the smile charmed him
"So I may not ask you to waltz?" he
snirl, with a look that iuvitod her per
mission to do so.
"Mr. Hall has mado it impossible for
me to do so, even if you wero to ask, by
putting his name down for the oi ly one
that Is mine to givo." Sho smiled alike
on both, and went on, "I am so fond.of
dancing 1 I never say 'no' if tho partner
is even a passable dancer; for, after all
it is all one cares for lu a dance."
'Bather nn equivocal or nmbiguons

Now' Mr. Hall is begging a compli

gave ber haud to Mr.'Tlall. "I shall see

And the flDated.awiiy,
There was nothing in this interview to

"We shall see."
"You hear what Iho wttld says, Mr.
Leighton," Bertha's father said, wheu
Cirol made his proposal for the hand ot
his daughter; "that you will have me ou
your hands. And yon know I am an ec
centric old fellow aud would Bertha's
charms, without money, satisfy both
heart aud pride, when yim might have
the rich Miss Brown for the asking?"
Carol flushed; he had heard the uu
hridlud tongues of the people, but he did
not know their cruel words had reached
here; but he answered stoutly,
"I have heard, of course, the gossips

wedding went on, and the two most in

About six weel.s before the time fixed
for the wedding, a bouse which had stood
empty for upward of a y ar was bought
and renovated, aud costly furniture nme
np from town to make it more habitable
still. Ami K said, alter p'ying with

"My dearCarol'hosaid, "forgive the

The value for agricultural purposes
of the blood of the 41.000,000 nnim.ils

by a French writer torbe31.00U.000.'rancs.
Various methods have beeu proposed tor

minis has been investigated by a French
esnmniission. Greater care is found to be
necessary with melallio cables thai with
those of textile malt rials, on account of
liability to corrosion, and preference is
given to the latter for most minis.
Hy an improved method, the quanti
ty of blood iu living mammals has been
ascertained to bo betweeu nue-twelfth and
one-lbirteeuth (1 the weight of the body.
Under normal conditions this proportion
varies but little. A heallhy man weigh

about twelve pounds of blood.
