Vo hot ambition, wild and wan,

I'd Hko to bo a selectiniin,
And have folks call mo "squire,"
lint I'd not rlimb the topmost height.
Tho wind of Piruie's wild spoil,
lint yet 'twould be no tnore than rl.tht,
I Went to (lencral Court;
And so I'd Uvo and die content
In modest, shy retirement.
Tls true, I may nioyo tiitn Ion n

Hut I would not ho grand nnd great
To make the people stnro,

I think 1 would not enie,
N'nrlct fame's tempest-torn contiol,
Mar my sweet iille!mlc of soul.
I'd live the most content ot men,
l'ar fioin Fame's maddening roar,'
And could I go to Congress then,
I think I'd ask no more.
01 course the President must be
Tho man Iho people choose,
And should tho people turn !o me,
I could not well refuse.
Hut still ambition would not h:i,m

Hut idl things n.-nt anil plain,

And I would rest In pew-c content,
If luy loved land should raise

To speak to future days.

BY OUINEllVE.
At tho lattice-window of a pretty little
cottagn a young girl's face could bo seen
one September morning, a faco of such
glowing, brilliant beauty that ore could
but liken It to the great damask roses that
drooped beside It, a living picture In a liv
ing frame, for all about It twined the deli
cate vino leayes and blossoms.
"Will she never couiofc" murmured the
sweet, red lips, while a look of impatient
longing fell upon the fair brow. "Tho
train has come and gone, she should bo
here now, and ah, tho.ro she is."
She had scarcely reached tho froat-door
before tho stage drew up by the gate and a
slender figure in gray alighted. The next
instant the two young girls were clasped in
each other's arms.
"Oh, Pcarle, my beautiful dear!" cried
the younger, winding her arms round the
other. "How I havo missed you. And
did you have a lovely time?"
"Yes, iicinc," replied her sister; but
thcio was something In her tones that made
her Companion wonder, and when Relne
Delalro looked closer she saw that the girl's
beautiful faco was changed.
It had always been dellcato and faintly
tinted, but now it wore an ashy-pallor;
there were circles under the Urge, blu
eyes and tho month looked drawn.
"My darling Pcarle, you are ill." sh
crled.sprlnglng forward. ''Oh, bow Strang
yoli look."
Pcarle turned her eyes mournfully upon
her; and said, in sad, hollow Uues:
"Heine, my heart is broken!"
Then, without warning, she fell pros
trato in a dead faint,and when she recover
ed U was only to break out into wild rav
ings; and so for days sho lay In tho grasp
of a terrible fever, and from her incoherent
words her sister cleaned her sad story.
H'hllo visiting her friend, Edith Fay, she
had met a man to whom she had glyen her
maiden fancy; a man who bad won her
love only to cast .It aside like an old gar
ment; a man who had broken her heart for
a -season's pastime, and had gono on his
way carcle5,l, while sho had coma home
to die.
ShcSkno'w it was her deathblow; and
Heine, Watching her In her delirium, grew
to hate the man who had wrought this
cruel deed; and when at last the fever was
spent and Pearle lay thetc weak but con
scious, she made her tell the story all oyer
again, 'and wept between her tipbraldings.
"Pearle, listen," she said, while her dark
eyes glittered. "I will avenge this wrong.
I will meet him nnd strike him back blow
for blow. Ho Is looking for a wealthy girl
I will deceive him. I will take our little
fortune and follow him. And when we
meet "
Her little hands clinched; her scarlet lips
closed ominously.
rearlo knew she would keep her word;
sho know that her sister was rarely beauti
ful, that her charms were many, and that
she would accomplish this thing she had
sec her heart upon. A look of relief came
oyer her thin face.
"If he could but suffer as he has raado
me suffer," sho murmured. "Ah, Edwin
Varry, I am dying, but as a legacy I leave
you my sister's vengeance."
Heine took, her hand; it was already
growing cold; tho shadows were falling
upon the pinched features. She fell upon
her knees with a passionate cry and bowed
her head; when sho looked up aga!n,Pearle
was dead.
"I think that Jflss Gaspatd is a consum
mate coquette."
Tho speaker was one of three ladies' who
stood on the wide piazza of the Atlantic
House, tlie most fasbionablo hotel of a
popular summer resort.
The gaze of all was directed at a couple
who were sauntering down the wido prome.
nade, a darkly handsome young man and a
bewitching vision of feminine lovliness.
The form, set off by a toilet of light olive
and cream, was perfection Itself, and the
face under tho soft leg-horn, wreathed with
mull and May-blossoms, was dazzling with
Its damask tints and glorious, brown eyes
and expression ot piquancy.
"Oh, yes, she is undeniably a coquette,"
repeated the speaker. "And It is surpris
ing how the men adrntra her,"
"Not surprising to my mind," said an'
other. "She is handsome, sha Is vivacious,
she is rich. Tou know they say her oi
tates In the south are very txtentlr and
that her income is mors than tountifol.
"Then I should think she would bswaro
of fortune hunters. There's Edwin Tany
with her now, and his frUnd, Romnsy
Harmon, dances attendants upon 111.
They are both bandsom and defer, but
poor; believe me, each hasaa eyt totlo
main chance."
"I do not believe Eiwln Vanj is a for
tune-hunter. There Is somtbln rtally
noble about .him, I wondtr whem the
prsfers?"
"Who knows?,' replied tlie other, with a
laugh, and thcu another topic of conversa
tion was taken up.
Meanwhile JIIss Gasparil and Ksr escort
had retutned and were parting at tha door.
"Hemembur, the Ilrst waltz tti-nlght,"
said Varry, softly.
A brilliant gl.uicc fjom the dark eyes
answered him, and then Sllss Gasparil, the
southern heiress, disappeared trom his
View, to reappear In her own room as Heine
Delalre.
The girl rushed to tho mirror and looked
long at the vision rcilected there.
"I hayo won," she said, half aloud.
"Ah, how I havo cheated them all. And
It Is well; tho season is nearly oyer, and my
money Is almost gone. Hut he will know
to-night. He said he had something to tell
me then ah, I can guess." '
Then n strange sadnss fell upon her,
and she sank Into an easy chair. So she
sat In deep thought, till a mossage was
brought to her. It was scaled, and bore
the familiar chlrohraphv of Homney liar
inon. Heine tore it open with trembl nc
fingers.
It was an Impassioned confession of love;
he could not llvo without Jier, he vrote,yct
when ho had tried to tell her of his feelings
toward her. his heart failed him. If sho
wimld accept his dcyotlon let her wear a
spray of lijttcinths that nlghtand he would
understand.
"Ah, that will be glorious," thought
Heine, with only her absorbing desire for
vengcanco m her mind. "I will wear his
rival's flowers while ho acknowledges his
love. Ah, my pour Pcarle, this will bo a
triumph for us both."
Yet from that time Heine Delalro was
strangely quiet, and ever and anon a bitter
smile wreathed her lips.
Sho was decked out In regal attiro for tho
ball that night, In iyory-whlto surah draped
with lace, and a spray of pink hyacinths
clasped at her breast by a pearl ornament.
She descended tho stairs to find Edwin
Varry waiting for her, and together they
drifted through the rooms to the strains of
a dreamy German waltz.
She could seo tho thrilling glances of her
companion's eyes, feel the warm clasp of
his hand, and her own heart beat with a
strange joy.
"The last time sho was saying to her
heart the last time."
Then tho waltz ended, and he drew her
out to the moon lit piazza.
There, in a shadowy, secluded corner, he
told her of his loyc.and Heine grow strange
ly faint as she listened. What was tho
matter? Did she love her sister's murder
er? Oh, how weak, how foolish she was.
Yet, looking into that earnest face, she
would have vowed hojtvas houest xni Irue,
but that the haunting eyes of Pearls cams
between.
"You lovo mc," she said, In low tones.
"Listen, then; I nm not an heiress. I liavn
deceived vou."
" Wsre you a beggor I should yet be proud
to win you," he answered.
Helae was astonished; she had expected
that her words would prove htm craven.
"Hut I 1 have accepttd the love sf your
friend, Homney Harmon," sho faltered.
"Hers Is my token."
She touched tho flowers she wore. He
snatched them olf and threw them aside.
"Yon coquette 1" ho said, Intones ef teij
rlble reproach.
Sha started to her feat, with her syes
blazing.
"What are you?,' she demanded fiercely.
T'X)o not dare to reproach me. Iam Pearle
Deialre's sister." ,
inth these words, spoken in significant
tones, she left him, and sho saw him a few
moments later with his friend alas! his
friend no more,, for jealously had severed
tho bond. That night Edwin Varry left
the place.
The next day Heine entertained a visitor,
a fair-haired gtil whom she called Edith.
'Aud you aro to be married, Heine?"
said the latter. "Does he Mt. Harmon
know of your deception?"
"No; but It will make no difference. I
shall tell him all to-day."
"Ah, you must bo very happy?"
Heine nodded assent; but a low breath
escaped her lips. H'as she so very happy
after all?
"I will show vou his photograph.Edlth,"
he said. "He Is really handsome."
Edith Fay looked at tho framed plcturo
she offered hor, and then started. Those
aquiline features, thoso dreamy eyes, that
broad brow from which the thick hair
waved surely she had seen them before.
"Why, Relne, this Is not Mr. Harmon,"
she gasped. "There Is soma mlstako this
is Edwin Varry."
"What!" cried Relne.her face blanching.
"It is Edwin Varry, the man who visited
your sister at our house," replied Edith
Fay.
"No no, I. know Edwin Varry; he Is
dark and handsome, but not like that;
he "
"This Is the one; I would know the lace
anywhere," said Edith decisively.
'Walt! I cannot believe. Let me think!"
cried Heine.
Then regaining her composure, she rang
the bell that summoned a servant.
"If Mr. Harmon Is In the hotel, tell him
that Miss Gsspard wishes to sec Mm In her
prlyato parlor-," she said calmlv.
Homney Harmon came, and his face
paled slightly, when he saw Edith Fay.
Yon nd Miss Fay ate old frleads, I
bear," said Heine quietly. "Rut why did
you assume the name of your friend, Ed
win Varry.
"Why, I I," stanimcrod- the man.
"What dees this mean?"
"I am not Heine Gaspard, but Relne De
lalre Pearle Deialre's sister. jS'ote do yen
understand?"
A gray pallor settled upon bis features at

It was nothing to him that sh wao not an
heiress, for he loved her as he utver loved,
as lis would never love again, but the was
Pearls Delalro't sister, and lis knew he
co'ild not hope.

Then to her friend's surprise she fell

"I love Homney Harmon," she cried,
"Ob, Edith, .what have I'llone?"
Homney had loft Ihe place, but ha had
not disappeared among the horde of wand
erers, and to find Mm was easier than
Heine had thought.
Ono day, sitting in his room, he received
a missive that restored him to hope and
happiness.

Children should be taught as early as

such a thing, and a certain consequeiico

children of a larger growth recognize Mint

effectual, because more reasonable than the
ordinary arbitrary teaching of what Is right
and what Is wrong.
The little tddlcs of wind that act the

-Thu capacity for happiness, Hko every

-Coarse kindness is, at least, better than

Tho good man who is reflective will
find that, as his viefws on various points
change with Increasing knowledge, his
standard of action changes also. Somo
things which he once regarded with the ut
most leniency, he now looks upon as grayo

path In any direction, it becomes for him
the path of duty.
You fight Are with fire, hut poverty

Jatlvcs are better than actions. Men
drift Into crime. Of evil they do mora

-The innocence of childhood consists
not in recltitude of inclination, but In In

Vivacity of children is always charming,
because it Is always sincere. A grave

Love Is tho most easy and agreeable,

It Is one of tho problems of life how to
preserve the earlier spirit of trust and hope
amid tlie knowledge and wisdom born of
mature experience. And it is because this
problem Is too hard for many that they be
gin In middle life to degenerate In charac
ter. There always comes some smooth
running to every skein before It Is all
done. You mustn't try to seo through tho
whols skecn or to stralghton It all out Into
a single Hired befoie you begin to wind;
that makes a snarl always. There Is al
ways an end, and that Is what you have
got to take bold of.

People do not learn how ta set ono thing

that it a far mors hopeful condition of

the diflctilty than that which rushes In
