GOOD NIGHTI NOT GOOD-BY."
I saw my lady die:
And lie, who otttlmes cruel Is, dark Death,
Was so deep sorrowful to stay her breath,
He came, all clemency.
Ho would not let her know;
Go well he loved the bright soul ho must UVe
That for our grieving and her own fair sake
Ho hid his shaft and bow.
Upon her Hps he told
That "kiss of God'1 which kills butdoesnot harm)
With tender message, breathing no alarm,
He said, "Be unafraid I"
Sorrow grew almost glad.
Tain halt forgiven, parting well nigh kind,
To mark how placidly my lady's mind .
Consented. Ready clod
. In robes of unseen light
Her willing soul spread wing; and, while she
passed,
"Darling I good-by I" we moaned but she, at last,
Murmured, "No, butgoodnlghtP'
Good night, thon, sweetheart I wife I
If this world be the dork time and Its morrow

COOK AND COUNTESS.
Patty Cowslip, tho only daughter of
tho Rev. Peter Cowslip, vicar of Mud-dlesworth-in-the-Marsh,
was a pretty
girl. She was bo pretty that eho might
have actually, aspired,, though she had
not a penny in the world, to marrying a
fashionable curate. Uut though Fatty
was penniless she was ambitious, and
she had not the slightest idea of marry
ing the most fashionable of curates.
It is not necessary to describe what
was like. "Rather above than
below the ordinary height," us .novelists
say, rich chestnut hair with a glint of
gold in it, an excellent figure, small ears.
Drown eyes witii uam ojreDrows anu
lashes, pearly teeth'set in the rosy f ramo
of a pair of lips arched like Cupid s bow,
a round and dimpled chin, a swanlike
neck bah I wo have all once in our lives
met somebody as charming as Miss Patty
Cowslip; but as a rule tho experience
has not been repeated. Wo must not
forget, though, that Miss Patty's arms
and hands were her strong point; a queen
might have envied them, for they were
absolutely perfect.
Miss Patty Cowslip had had a decent
education; but boyond tho annual sub
sidy of ten pounds sterling a year which
tho parish paid her for playing the organ
she had not a T"nny in the world.
The Rov. Peter-Cowslip was as poor ns
a rat. With considerable difficulty he
managed to pay his tradesmen at the
year's end; but tho ltev. Feter dined
every day much better than many mill-
ionaires. And why? Was it 6n account
of tho poor clergyman's' wicked ejetravn..
leanco? Not a.bitof it; the fact is that
Patty was a splendid cook a born
genius for the noblest of tho arts,
juuiiv uiuuciu juuug liiuiea, jjuvujk

and call it art; other girls torment us
with the piano, violin, banjo, harp, sack
but, psaltery, dulcimer and all kinds of
music; other girls sing. All these peO'
pie work their wicked wills upon us with
impunity. Wo grin; we say, "Oh, thank
you so much," because wo are obliged to
do that; and our politeness is treated ns
an encore, and then our sufferings ra
commence.
Pretty Patty Cowslip did none of these
dreadful things; but she could cook like
Ude, Francatelli and Soyer rolled into
one. Ana Fretty Fatty went up to town,
entered tho School of Cookery, and came
out as tho senior wrangler of the year.
It was Fatty first, tho rest nowhere.
Monsieur Caramel, the professor of orna
mental pastry, proposed to her at once;
but Patty refused him, for, as we have
said, sho was ambitious. And then Miss
CowsUp issued a neat little advertise-
1UCUI, IWJfc U1UUCO, lUUfjlUB ... i. UIUUC3,
West End street, and began to teacl
her own account.
Lord Fleshpotts was a widowed noble
man, lie iiaa tnreo unmarrtea daugh
ters the Ladies Gwendoline, Ermyn'
trudoand Errayngarde Casserole. His
lordship was a great sufferer from indi-
gestiou, and he was dying of bad diu
ners. No cook over Btaid more than a
month in his house; each of his daugh
teirs ruled the roast for a week, and gen'
erally. the particular young lady who
happened to bo responsible for the dinner
on any given evening left the room in
tears before tho dessert was put upon the
table. If Lord Fleshpotts would only
have dined at his club all might have
been well; but he persisted in diningjit
home, and the lives of his three daugh'
ters wero slow martyrdoms.
It chanced ono day that they saw
Miss Cowslip's advertisement in Tho
St. James' Gazette. Lady Gwendoline
pointed it out to her sisters. They or
dercd tho carriage early the next morn
ing, and they were ushered into Miss
Patty s neat little sitting room in Park
street, "Wo don't want to take lessons,
Miss Cowslip, said Lady Gwendoline.
"We'ro too stupid," said Lady Ermyn
garde, "And it would bo no use," said
Lady Ermyutrude. "Hut, oh! Miss Cow
slip, couldn't you come every morning
and give us a few runts, ror pa is wast'
Inir visibly; cried the eldest girl
"It s novelty that poor papa requires."
sobbed tho second daughter: "refreshing
novelty and perpetual change. Those
are his very words, Miss Cowslip, his
cruel, heartless words.'
"Has Lord Fleshpotts ever tasted apple
dumplings?" asked Fatty Cowslip, sol
ewnly.
"Its a dish I never heard of," ex
claimed Lady Gwendoline,
"They wero n favorite dish with His
Majesty King Oeorge the Third," re
marked Patty, the historian.
"And wo'vo nover ven heard of
thoml" bighed Lady Ermyntrude.
Bo it waa arranged that Patty was to
come (ho next day and teach them how
to mako apple dumplings, for which she
was to receive a fee of one truinea: and,
asa personal favor, she wrote them a

a pastry board and a basin wero brought
in by Adolphus John, tho six foot foot
man, and then each or tho Ladies Casse
role, provided with a silver knife, began
to peel an apple,
Poor tilings, thoy couldnt even do
that properly. . But Patty Cowslip, who
had taken oH her hat and gloves, laid
asido her jacket and donned a natty little
Swiss npron,,trliumed with Russian em
broidery, rolled up her sleeves and dis
played her magnificent arms, and demon
strated the proper way to peel an apple,
to tiio delight, astonishment and admira
tion of the Ladles Casserole; and when
she was in tho middle of the process the
door opened and Lord Fleshpotts entered
the room, i ::
Pa," said' Lady Gwendoline, "allow
mo to introduce to you Miss Cowslip,
who has kindly consented to give us a
few lessons.""
"My dear young ladyl" cried his lord
ship, "do I speak to the talented author
ess of tho -charming menu I hold in my
hand? Ever since It jnot my eyes I have
felt n now sensation. I've eaten no lunch.
I am reserving myself for your most do
lectable little dinner. But you havo
aroused my curiosity as well as my ap
petite, wnat on earth aro apple dump
lings a la George Trois? It is a dish I
hare never met in tho whole course of
my1 vast oxpcrlence." ("She's got the
most lovely arms and hands," lie
thought, "that I ever saw in my life!")
Fatty smiled. ("What teethl" thought
his lordship.)
' l ou shall sco them made, Lord Flesh
potts," said Patty, "if you care to look
on."
If 'I care! It will bo the proudest
privilego of my life. My dear Gwendo
line,'' said tho carl, "I could watch the
movements of your charming friend for-
over."
"Pal" cried, the Ladies Casserole, in
an astonished and indignant chorus.
And then Professor Patty divided her
apples into quarters, and then she made
the paste and cut it into the requisite
sized squares. And Lord- Fleshpotts
looked on -with respectful admiration,
for ho could not take his eyes oil her
magniucoint hands and arms. "If," he
thought, "that shapely creature would
only prepare my meals for ever, life
would still have charms. I can t ai.k
her to be my cook, for she's a ladv.
Gadl when I look at her, I feel myself
growing young again."
Just then Patty completed the first
dumpling.
"What do you think of that, Lord
Fleshpotts?" she said, as she displayed
the little white sphero on her extended
palm.
"My dear young lady," said Lord
Fleshpotts, gazing at her arm aud hand,
"it's a dream of loveliness."
"Your lordship is laughing ot me,"
said Miss Fatty,
"I'm not, I assure your burst in the
enamored peer; "I could eat it raw!"
And then the three Ladies Casserole
simultaneously began, to hate Professor
Patty with a deadly hatred.
'But Miss Cowslip hadn't come to Eaton
Squaroi to waste her time. She turned
out the rest of the apple dumplings with
tho celerity of a practiced hand. She
'took nb'further notice of his lordship,
but she pockpted her guinea, which Lady
Gwendoline tendered wrapped in the
conventional piece of tissue paper, and
took her leave.
The dinner that evening in Eaton
Squaro was for once a success, and Lord
Fleshpotts was helped three times to apple
dumplings a la George Trois.
The next day, when Miss Cowslip nr
rived at Eaton Square, she was shown
into his lordship s study.
"My dear young lady," cried Lord
Fleshpotts, as he advanced with extendod
hands, "I'mdollghted to see you! Words
fail me, he added, in a broken voice,
"to sufficiently express my appreciation
of your beauty and accomplishments.
Tho crispneas of the crust, my dear
madam (they were baked dumplingn),
was indescribable. I havo one question
to ask you, Miss Cowslip. Will you be
my wife?
Patty Cowslip felt as If the room was
going round with her.
Tho enamored peer dropped upon his
knees.
"If the devotion of a life time" he
began.

JIM.
So Jim is dead I I don't know why
It should be so, but, do youknow,
It seems a most unnatural thing
That Jim should die.
He seemed so sure to win; in all he tried
He came out best; he beat the rest,
As sportsmen say, "Hands down,"
And yet he died.
Whon we were chums I don't mippose
There over wore a warmer pair
We used to speculate on death,
And now he knows.
He used to says "You never ca
Convince my irdnd that we shall find
A brtter world beyond than this."
How now, old mant .
It seems go weak of Jim. But stop!

THAT LOVE LETTER.
It is oest, on the whole, not to read
your husband's letters until he hands
them td you, and it is much tho best not
to cxnmino his pockets, except for holes,
then set asido whatever you And there
without examination,
I believe llttlo Mrs. Elliott would give
any young wife that advice today; but
there was a time we are all fallible,
being mortal when she had boen mar
ried about two years, that she made
herself an amateur detective, as far as
her Frank went, and had found holes
that she could not explain one that
had something in nftihout Clara partic
ularly. It was only half a letter, but it
was suspicious.
Naturally jealous, sho vbb too proud
to betray the fact intentionally; but there
is no keeping a secret of that sort from
tho servants. They knew it; other peo
plo guessed at it.
Her fancies about Clara oh, who was
Clara? made her heart ache; but rum
maging and prying did not help her.
Whon her husband was away as he
ofton was sho sullored tortures, He
might, for all she know, be leading a
double life, and so Bhe steamed all his
letters open before she forwarded them,
aud now and then found something that
might .menn more -than it said, and so
we come to an afternoon when she Mrs.
Elliot came down stairs dressed for
dinner, for which she always made a
caroful toilet, and met the waitress as
cending to tho upper floor. The girl's
place at that moment was in the dining
room, and Mrs. Elliot know that noth
inc. was needed or forgotten that per
talned to the diuner; moreover, tho girl
hnd an air of secrecy about her, and
seemed to be hiding something undor
V -
"What's that you have there, Rosa?"
Mrs, Elliot asked, a little sharply.
Tho girl stopped, looked down, and
answered!
"Only a letter, ma'am."
".For yourself?" asked. Mrs. Elliot.
"No, ma'am, for master," said the girl.
"Well, give it to me," said Mrs. Elliot
The girl hesitated.
"Indeed, ma'am, tho lady said to give
it to mmseif," said itoea.
"A lady? A beggar with a petifion, I
supposo, said Mrs. Elliot.
"A lady, ma'm, and she's gone," said
tho girl. "She wore a blue veil; hut J
never saw her before, I'm sure."
"Oh, very well," replied her mistress.
"Give me tho note. Mr, Elliot is shav.
ing, and would not wish to be disturbed."
The girl gave a little impertinent toss
to her head as she obeyed, and ilouncod
down stairs in a way that made her mis
tress resolve to give her warning.
The trouble" was that tho lady in the
blue veil had given Rosa somo money
had whispered, "Mr. Elliot, and no one
else," and had hurried away in a sus
picious manner.
Mrs. Elliot meanwhile stood turning
tho envelope over. The address was
merely her husband's name Mr. Frank
Elliot and the edge of the flap was still
damp, as If sealed at the door. It would
open at a touch she could read it and
know its contents if she chose.
"I do choose," she said the next mo
ment, and tho edge of the envelope rolled
back and a slip of paper fell out. On it
were written these words:
Dear Frank Meet me at the usual
place if you can dodge your wife.
Clara.
A moment more and the letter was re
sealed, and Mrs. Elliot, trembling with
anger, stood leaning against the window
frame. Sho felt that the dread that had
been upon her had taken shape at last.
However, she would not be hasty,
Sho would wait until she was sure that
he desired to receive the letter. If he
did not obey the summons it would
prove to her that he was true to her,
Then she would tell him what she knew
and ask his confidence.
She carried the letter down stairs with
her, and placed it at his plate, and as he
opened It she watched him closely.
It certainly did not seem to please him,
He frowned, changed color and thrust it
into his pocket; but ho went on with hit
dinner without any remark.
Mrs. Elliot, however, could not re
main silent.
"You look as though you had received

"I will not go with your uncle James,"

Meanwhile Mrs. Elliot lurked in the
shadow of tho stone balustrades, and
saw that her husband stood under tho
gas lamp at the corner examining the
note which lie liad received.

As she left the ferry, and, followinc

Who could Clara be what manner of
woman was she to appoint a rendezvous
like this? It was a nasty, BlinDoryTun.
pleasant place. There was a drinking
saloon hard by, which seemed to be full
of rough men. She drew so near to lior
husband that she could have touched his
coat as they passed this place, but he did
not look nround. And now it began
to rain in earnest and the road they
had turned into seemed to bo two feet
deep with mud, nud still Mr. Elliot
marched on. At last a frightful thinir
occurred to Clara. She wore upon hor
feet a pair of patent leather ties and
with all this climbing and straining of
tho shoes the ribbons had como undone.
Suddenly tho mud caught at them with
that curious power of suction which
mud see ma to have at times, and the
shoes came off. In vain she felt about
for them; they seemed to have vanished.
Just then:
"HallooP said a voice near her,
"what's the matter with you, young
woman?"
"I nothing I" gasped Mrs. Elliot A
large policeman stood before her.
"This ain't no place for a young Wo
man to be kiting round alone," caid the
policeman. "It's dangerous if you're a
decent girl. What's happened? Lost
yourself?"
"No," said Mrs. Elliot, "I'm not alone;
there's my husband. Frank-, Frank,
Frankl"
Mr. Elliot turned and' walked back.
"Loft you behind, did I, Lisae?" he
said.
"You're a mighty careful husband,"
said the policeman, "I do think," and
strode away.
Then Mr, Elliot, who waa a large man,
simply picked his little wife up in his
arms and carried hor back to tne ground,
which encircled the tavern. Hero he sot
her down upon a wooden platform. Then
for a moment he vanished and returned
with a glass of wine, which he made
Mrs. Elliot drink.
"I've hired a cab," he said; "we'll
drive hack to the'ferry. It's too stormy
a night to go looking for Clara; besides,
she s thousands of miles away."
"Claral" cried Mrs. Elliot. "Don't
speak, of Clara how dare you?"
"She very nearly ruined' me, my dear.
I threw away lots of money on her,"
said Mr. Elliot, "but she is looking up
now. My dear, l know you have been
rummaging my pockets aud reading my
letters for two years, but I only found
out what you suspected when my mother
told mo that you asked her if I had aver,
known a lady named Clara before I met
you."
"Oh, Frank, don't try to deceive mcl"'
sobbed Lizzie. "I read the note the wo
man left to-night I"
"Oh, I knew it." said Mr. Elliot "It
was fixed for you to read. 'I wrote it to
myself, and my mother left it at the door
at dinner time, I gave her a signal from
the window that she might know you
were coming down stairs, and I've kept
an eye on "you I've watched you ever
since you left the door. My dear child,
I never knew a Clara in my life; I never
had a. doubtful love affair, even as a boy
The note you saw was about an oil well
In which I had sham the Clara. She
was a fickle creature, I admit, and made
me anxious, but since you were bound
to be jealous"
"Carriage, sir," said the driver.
Mr. Elliot lifted his shoeless wife into
the vehicle. And half way home she
vowed that she would never forgivs him.
but tho other half she wept upon his vest
"I felt so helpless without my shoes,"
she declares, "that my spirit was fairly
broken."
But at all events she waa never jeal
