LIGHT IN THE EAST. Summer .in Ontario is always delight ful, but that of 1885 was especially so. The long days, with their hot noontides, had a tro'nical air about them that euxr- cinhiton. The nights were cool and ro ffesh'lnir, and the radiance -of each suit' (.set was. eclipsed only by the splendor of the following sunrise. Tbe stars were brighter, and the moon gave a clearer light than ever before. The clouds, blown by freshening winds, took new and fantastio shapes, and all nature, smiling in her superb beauty, whispered, Behold met It was on one of these fine summer days, in August, that the good steamship Alexandria touched nt Masaagaagua Point on hor way up from Montreal. As the boat n oared, a crowd of campers stood upon tho dock, all of whom dis played an air of happy indifference, ex cepting Mrs. Secord, who, leaning upon the armot her son, gazed intently toward tbe passengers. Only one disembarked lady of perhaps 40 years, dressed dn French' costume. Mrs. Secord recog nized at once her sister, Mme. La Londe, whom she had last seen as Alice de Beaumont twenty years before. Of course there were embraces and laughter and tears, and then more embraces, until finally the French widow was led away to a group of live tents, the summer home of -the Secords. Mme. La Londe's story is a short one. The first eighteen years of her life were spent with her parents in Ottawa. She was then sent to Montreal to Btudy, and there made her home with a married sis ter, who was ten years her senior. Two years later there came to visit at her sis ters house an old friend of the family, Mr. George Carpenter, a man perhaps SO years of age. Mr. Carpenter had a small income, to which he added by doing lit erary work, occasionally., lie was a bachelor, and had not a relative in the world excepting a half sister in Austaf. lia and two cousins in San Francisco. lie was a talented man, with a warm heart and genial manner that endeared him to all who knew him. Ho loved every one in general, and gave this as a reason for1 never having loved any on in particular. But even Mr. George Car' penter was susceptible to the charms of the light hearted Alice de Beaumont "tha child of tho morning," he always called her, for she reminded .him of the glad sunrise that he so much loved. Bo the man ot mty actually became in love with the girl of twenty, and, O lament able thought! the girl of twenty became in love with the man of fifty, What was to be. done? Mr. and Mrs. Secord talked the matter over and very wisely decided to ''let them love." So they loved. Mr. Carpenter was the happiest man in the world. His great heart throbbed with a joy! to which it had been a stran ger for fifty years. He now loved every one more than ever. All the street Arabs in Montreal learned to know him. The poor sought him for his money and the rich for his mirth. Spring and Autumn have gone for .ft stroll," Mrs. Secord used to say to her husbandwheii he would inquire for the lovers. Half a century, my darling," one day answered Mr. Carpenter as Alice wound ber eoft wmte arms around ou necic and asked how long he had lived. "Am I too old?' he inquired; then added, laughingly, "What matter swift- ly passing years if the heart remain young? My soul, in spite of these years, is filled with a joyiuiness to which it was a straneer in what was called my youth. You are my youth, the glad, golden morning ot my life; while I have you I can never be old." Of course Alice promised to marry the man to whom she was all the world. But. strange to say, no one had the oour age to impart this bit of information to Mr. and Mrs. de Beaumont, who were living a life of cold conventionality in Ottawa. It was finally decided that Mr. Carpenter himself should be the first to approacn the subject, nut love bad been allowed to slip out of the life of Papa de Beaumont and Mamma de Beaumont, and they were shocked at the thought of their daughters connection wiut one who had neither youth, nor a noble name, nor a fortune. Alice must leave Montreal at once, Then followed tears and entreaties innumerable. Mr. Secord insisted that Alice should remain, in spiteof the opposition of her parents. It was a time 01 great mourning, ior tne parents refused to yield, and Alice left Montreal "bearing in her heart a life Ions sotrdtv," Three months later she wiled with her parents for trance, where, nine years afterwards, she mar' nea a xai man wuu iwu nrau, uig name and, a bank account, M. Alfred . i ' . . 1.1. 1 I 1 1 1 V, I iiugene La Londe uvea to see tne niui anniversary of his wedding day, then feu into his last sleep. Mme. La Londe remained in France until the summer of 1883, when she came to her sister in On tario, As soon as Mr. Carpenter fully realized his loss his grief was intense. He went at once to Ottawa, and, with all the earn' cstneas ot a man pleading for his life, implored the parents of Alice to favor him. But all hi pleading passed for nothing with the fashionable parents, and Mr, Carpenter returned to Montreal the most sorrowful man in the world. "The light In the east lias gone out," ht would sometimes say to his friends. "I thought It was, mocnlng, and behold! it U midnight." About the time of the death of M. Alfred Eugene La Londo the Secords left Montreal and came to Kingston to reside. Mr. Carpenter came with thorn. The family decided to spend the sum' mer of 1885 in camp at Massassagoa Point, and Mr. Carpenter now nearly 70 years of age agreed to accompany them. Bo Drenaratlons were made and the party pitched five tents on one of the most charming spots ot this charming Ontario. The tents were pitched close to the Bay of Quinte. All night tbe warm winds swayed genUy to and fro tbe white canvas well, and brought the sounds 01 steam- a i bint ships as they plowed tne sraootn surraoo ot the bay. Boat after boat passed by on its way to Montreal. Sometimes, ,tho sounds of musical instruments were heard. Sometimes voices sang in Ox; qnislte harmonies, that echoed among (ho trees stretching for three miles back of tho tenbif The moon rose oyor the bay in solemn beauty, and gavo her light so generously that no lamps were needed within the white walls. When Mi ciso was quiet there still could bo heard the lapping of the waves upon tho pebbled beach, and tho occasional splashing ot a fish in the bay. Mr. Carpenter roso at daybreak every morning nnd, passing Mrs. SecordSs tent, wandered up and down the beach, "He is waiting for tho sunrise," the lady would say to her husband as, drawing aside tho door of her tent, sho would watch the old man upon the shore, his long white beard blown aside by tho wind that freshened from tho .south. Mmo. La Londo arrived in August. "Does he expect mer' she asked of her I- sister when they were alone. "Not today." answered Mrs. SecOrdj "he knows that you are coming, but Idid not tell him just when you would be here." Then followed considerable planning as to how tho gentleman should be informed of tbe arrival of his old sweetheart. Alice's impulse was to rush to him at once. "I must seo him," sho cried, "I have waited twenty years, and that is long enough." "But, my child," answered Mrs. Secord, 'the morning never breaks suddenly, the transition' would be too severe, it would be painful. We must give him the gray of tho morning first and then the golden sunrise." It was now late in the afternoon, so it was decided that Mrs. Secord should spend the night with her sister in the tent prepared for her,and Alice should awaken at daybreak, dress herself, and, just as Mr. Carpenter was passing, allow him to hear her voice in some old, familiar song, Tho family thought the arrangement a fine one, and so the little widow was kept out of sight nil the evening. Mr. Cupcn ter thought he noticed an unusual ex cltement on tho part of different mem bers of the family, and he said touumself : "She is coining! There is light in the east!" The next morning was a glorious one, Tho air was sweet with i fragrance of wild flowers, and the soft breeze brougKC the sound of sheep bells from the distant fold. When Mr. Carpenter passed the tent where the ladies had spent the night, he heard a voice which at first he thought to be Mrs. Secord's, hut, listen ing again, he recognized an old song which ho had sung scores of times to Alice in the long ago. Could it be it must be and yet? The old man held his head with, his hands and sank down upon a rude bench near by. Then came the voice again, sweeter than any he" had ever heard, fuller and deeper, and trembling with emotion, singing the old song: "There's Ucbt in tbe cut: lol til moraine, A brighter light shine than tbe light of yon eky, " Tranacendest Una beam of tby love Udea ey e ! Eclipsing the light of tbe morning. ' "Tbe world Is awake, birds ore Blnglng, A melodv sweeter sins thou to nr sooL And an thro1 my being tbe music will roll; My heart la awake I come with singing I" Long before Alice had finished the song the good man had fallen to his knees, and, with tears streaming down his face, was now murmuring, "God of the morning! receive the thanksgiving of a heart too f uu for utterance," Alice gave a joyful cry and rushed to him. He held her to his breast for some moments, then led her away to his tent. Of course the family were all astir by this time- "When they1 had breakfasted Mr. Secord took a boat and a pair of strong oars, and rowed hastily to Belle- viUev From there he sent .this telegram to their clergyman in Bungs ton : ' 'Autumn and Winter have met. Come at once," The clergyman arrived that evening, and tha next morning, standing beside the waters of the Bay ot Quinte and bathed in the glorious light of an un clouded sunrise, these, two happy ones were united forever. Mr, Carpenter lived until the summer of 1889. "There will never bo any more night," he often said; "it will always be morning, cither hero or therer when he died the, shadows fell around Alice, but only for a short time, for soon she closed her eyes to the autumnal tints of her lite and 'opened them to the beauties ot an eternal springtime. Era Rose York in Toronto Globe. Love and Transfusion of lltood. Four years ago Frederick Ayres, of Racine, Wis., became infatuated with tho lady who is now his wife, but she preferred some one else. He made way for her more favored suitor. Aiew days after her engagement she became ill and grew worse rapidly. It was finally de' cidod that the pnly thing that could boto her was the transfusion of blood. Her favored suitor was sorry, but he thought he needed all the blood lie had in his system. Ayres offered himself, and the operation was performed with successful results. Tbe engagement was broken, and sis months afterward Ayres married the woman. Chicago Times. A Maw Whit Pt?li.

"For once I've been mn-ife ft fool of." said Mr. Pattlpan, just before ha went out to breakfast one morning. "I've taken bad .tnonoy, and I no . more know from whom than I know tho Koran And what is more," added Mf. Pattlpan, "1 shall offer it to Borne one it I carry it about with me, and get into difficulties. I'll leave it here. He put it into the china bowl full ot visiting cards that stood on n table in the corner of his wife's Ixirlor as he spoko, kissed her, and took his way to those re gions vaguely spoken of as "dotvn town," and Mrs, Pattlpan looked at the counter feit note, and in order that she might not make some mistake herself tore it across tho middle before throwing it hack into tho china bowl. "Mr. Pattinan never observes sufficient ly," she said to herself. "His organs of reflection are largo, but his organs of ob servation aro small." Mrs. Pattlpan had studied phrenology in her youth, when it was fashionable to do 80, nnd had a habit of attributing people's virtues or failings to their bumps. Then she went about her household duties, Ordered the dinner, scolded tho servant, arranged her bureau drawers and attended to Mr. Pattipau's buttons, and in the middle of this tusk heard the door bell ring. It rang twice without being answered cook nnd Sara Jano being in a oeep quarrel, occasioned by the re proofs of their mistress so Mrs. Pattl pan, having ticeped over the balustrades for some seconds, descended tho etaire and opened the door herself. Through the glass she could see that it was only a peddler of some sort, Who would be sent away at once, after which she would at tend to tho culprit below stairs. As she opened the door sho saw upon the steps without an old clothes man with a basket of china on his arm. A fat lit tlo old fellow with an immense nose and a benevolent smile, who pushed his bas ket into the door as an entering wedge, and said very softly and tenderly and with persuasive waves of his hand from the cheek outward: "Laty dear laty a-me-aiblelaty, vill you not exchange some ole clo'es which are of nogoot for some elegant new vases vich vill make you alvays some measure ven you look at dem7 Elegant vases! Oh, you shall Seo dem." ','No," said Mrs. Pattlpan, "no, I think not." But tho woman who deliberates with an old clothes man at the door is lost. The basket wedged itself further in, ' "It vill cost hodine to look at dem." said the old clothes vender. "It vill be a Measure and cost noding." "Very well," said Mrs. Pattlpan, "I don't really promise, you know; you never give muoh for the clothes. I think your acquisitiveness is more largely developed than your benevolence. Seems to me so, looking at you." "Madame is very good, said the old clothes man, waving from him the coin phment ho fancied he had received. "1 go in danks." He entered the parlor. Mrs. Pattlpan rested herself on a chair near the window, and the old clothes man exhibited his stock of common vases,-at which Mrs, Pattlpan looked contemptuously. Finally regarding her with an acute eye the clothes man restored all these to his basket, and saying: "NO, deso are not to madame s superior taste," put his hand in his pocket and drew forth a' little ornament of very beau tiful china a Cupid with a butterfly on its6houIder. "Zerer he said, spreading both hands abroad. " 'Ow about zisr Well," said Mrs. Pattlpan, "that is lovely," And zero is no more; o come from Paris," said tne old clothes man. "Oh, ho is sweet! said Mrs. Pattlpan. "I'll seo what I have. And upstairs sho rushed, and gathering from drawer and closet all theold panta loons with baggy knees, and all the old coats with fraved cuffs and creasy col lars which were in the bouse, laid them at tho feet 'of the clothes man. Butrnow it was the old man's turn to he scornful. "Zeserags! Oh, madame, not zese rags for my lofely Cupid from Paris!" he sighed, reproachfully. "Madame vill find BOtnezing else; she vill not expect ze poor old clo'es man to cheat himself. Madame has some pretty silk dress a cloak, a Bhawl madame vill seel Madame, who could not give up tho idea of possessing the Cupid, now that she had once harbored it, ran upstairs again. She searched her drawers, her wardrobe, but really she had nothing. Suddenly it occurred In her that she had a broche Bhawl, and that she never wore it Shawls were out of fashion, and if she hated anything it was a shawl turned Into a cloak. The thing would lie thero useless for vcars. or she should cive it to Mr. Pattipaq s Aunt Jane. She would never wear it again, that was morally certain. Why not buy the Cupid with it? She unfolded the Bhawl and felt an un usual contempt for It, it looked so old fashioned. It had cost $25 when it was bought, and was as good as ever; but what an ugly thlngl Yes, she would do itl She carried it down stairs therefore, and the clothes man condescended to ac cept it. However, he also put into his bag the old cloth Raiments, "I vill not leave zeni about to trouble madame," ho said; "I vill oblige her by carryinc zem away. Mrs. Pattipan returned to her parlor to adore her uupid certainly a very lovely little being. How I admire it! It s my ideality and my 'form. I suppose," sho said, be coming phrenological again. i should have been an artist, having form and color so largely developed," Then sho placed it on tbe cabinet helves, and as she retired to a distance to observe tbe general effect, saw that the counterfeit bill that sho had thrown Into tho china bowl after tearing it across had vanishes. The old clothes man had taken it there could be no doubt of that. "But ho was so acquisitive he could not withstand temptation, said Airs. Pattipan. "Well, I hope he will not pass it on some poor person, and I don't care if he gets himself into trouble he deserves It." At all events she had her lovely Cupid how mueh better than an old shawl that she detewted! Still, she would not mention tho uld shawl or the ooats to Mr I'auinan. ninco Ftno turn iiiiiuetnouwTiii mistake of exchanging his Ix-st trousers for a match holder it was untlerstotHl be tween them that old clothes men wcro not to' bo permitted to cross tho threshold. No; sho cduld buy what she pleased, and Mr. Pattipan never thought of ask ing where it calno from. -It should go so. But, oh! her lovely Cupid how sho adored it! At S o'clock in tho afternoon Mr. Pat tipan returned in very fine spirits. 'Well, Ducky," lie remarked to Mrs. Pattipan, "I've got n surpriso for you. Shan't toll you what It is until I have had dinner. It is a birthday present." Then he concealed a bundle beneath tho sofa. Mrs, Pattipan felt pleased to be re membered. She "was as charming as possible during dinner time, and Mr. Pattlpan made her guess what ho had brought her; but her guesses wcro nil failures. Not roses not a book not his photograph not a watch not a ring not a dress pattern not a muff! "I meant to buy a muff," said Mr. Pat tlpan; "but this was brought into my ofilco by somebody quite os though I had naked the spirits to help mo, you know. Come along, my dear; I want to see you sail up nnd down tho parlor in it. You nro quite a queenly Bort of flguro, you know, and a shawl" "A shawl " said Mrs. Pattipan. "Ah!" said Mr. Pattipan, who was now unfolding his parcel beside the parlor ta ble, "a shawll It is a Bplendid ono a Cashmere, or some Indian placo of that Bort wonderfully valuable; but, you know, ho smuggled it, and bo sold it for nothing. For n shawl like that forty-five dollars is nothing and I know you were out of shawls. You used to wenr ihem so elegantly in our courting days, and I haven't Been one on you for years!" "Nor on anybody else! Mrs. Pattlpan said within herself, but she beamed upon her husband. Hero it is!" said he, flinging it abroad "Now put it on." Tho room was not a largo one, and as the Bhawl swept into the air it struck tho cabinet on that particular spot on which tho Cupid was perched. The lovely bit of china danced wildly for a moment, then toppled over and fell to tho floor. Nothing remained of it but gleaming fragments as Mrs. Pattipan stooped to pick it up. "Never mind the gitucrack, Ducky! remarked her spouse. "I hope It is that confounded match safe that you gavo my best trousers for ha! ha! ha! Come, try 011 tho shawll" Mrs. Pattipan, with a secret wail for her treasure, obeyed. Sho turned her back and allowed the drapery to fall over her ample shoulders, and glided as grace fully as possible up and down the room, "Charming! said Mr. Pattlpan. "You must wear that freely. Don't save it for best. By Jove! I'm glad I bought it. The little old follow came into my place with the parcel, and bless me if he wasn't a curiosity! Ho called me a worthy gentle man, and he wanted to show 1110 a shawl. Well, I wbuldn't look at it until ho told me all about the Valoof Cashmere, where it was made, and asked mo to eniell the attar of roses; and suddenly says I, 'Tho very thing for Duckyt'andlhadPnngle, the clerk, in and put it on him, and he said he thought it must be genuine, for his grandmother had one just like it ("No doubt," said Mrs. Pattipan to her self) "and out camo my little $ou mil and he gave me a $5 note, nnd dono it was!" Mrs. Pattinan had reached the end of tho parlor and was standing quite still with her back turned. She could not control her features at that moment; she had just recognized her own old broche shawl the ono she had given to the clothes man! She know it only toojwell by tho pattern. And there was tho little fray darned by her own fingers llveyears before, when sho did occasionally wenr the shawl to market. "Turn about, Ducky," said Mr. Patti pan. Now, do you know, 1 iniven t seen you look bo elegant for a long while! We'll sco to tho opera to-night eoiuic and show it off. I know women like to exhibit elegant tilings when thoy have 'em and here is thechange tho old fellow gave me out of the fifty a five dollar bill, lake care; it s been inenucu. you ii wnnt soma little fallal." As Mrs. Pattipan came to her husband' side she was aware that she should see the counterfeit bill that tho old clothes man had stolen from tho china bowl, and indeed she did; and I cannot help believ Ins: that some of the very finest phreno logical developments must have been hers, for she smiled up Into Mr. I'atti pan's face and said: "My dear, you are really generous!" and put the worthless bill in her pocket with a little air of coquetry, and actually wore tho faded old fashioned broche shawl to tho theatre that evening and was happy in it But after all, to have a husband who thinks one a beaut? at 45, and is only anxious to make ono happy, compensates for any such little mortincaiions as iitai which Mrs. Pattipan experienced when the lady in tho seat behind her whispered audiblv: "Well, that shawl must really have come out of the ark!"

Different Styles af Cot tuples Worn Now adays by the tlrlda'a Atteitdauta. Tho fashionable-wedding of today has becomO a pageant ot plcturosquenees, in which the bridal procession Is a irutter- ng array of gay colors nnd historical costumes. Tho brldesmnlds in insM of the first eraplro or the directoii jplo, nnd the tiny pages In court dresa of the time of Louis XIV alternate, nnd vie with tho bride's procession ot flower girls, who are attended by Tittle Lord Fnuntleroys. It may be that the fair bride has chosen to go into tin church escorted by a liovy of fair maidens who aro arrayed In the hues of the rainbow, and shining In red, yellow and blue, Others again are preceded in their pas- saga down the aisle' by a seeming flock of snowbirds, in their frooks of white silk, trimmed with white fox furs and silver braid. Another bride will choose a bevy of fair maids who shall dress in gowns of golden yellow, carry bunches of yellow chrysanthemums or roses, and altogether lend a gleam of sunshine to even a rainy wedding day; while one bride is recorded as hiving clothed her maids In wedding garments of dust colored brouhe figured with pink and red rooos, and hats ot dust colored felt hidden beneath claret tipped plumes crowned their pretty heads, while tiny pages dressed In ruby plush danced gayly along. Formerly tltebrluestnalds,llke the bride, were "clad in robes of shining white," nnd their beauty and elaborate array were supposed to be to her as the pale beauty of the moon to the radiance of the sun, as the modesty ot the violet to the ele gance of the roso, as the Umptdnoss of water to the richness of.ruby wine; now, adays, tho bride, tho central figure round which clusters nil the love and joy and hope that n wedding ring oan hold the bride is apt to be in hor conventional wedding gown, the fashion for which varies hut little from year to year, though sho may substitute roses, hyacinths, chrysanthemums or lilies of the valley for the old time favorite, tho orange blossom and flower, is somewhat over shadowed by the gorgeousness of her at tendant lunula. Shemay have thorn hand cuffed together with floral links, she may have them bound with chnlns ot roses which shall fall asunder as she falters forth her solemn vow to love, honor and obey,-or sho may have them ready to strew flowers in her path as sho turns, a newly made wife, from the altar; but in all these picturesque fashions and quaint Ideas, she detracts from the Interest whloh should center round herself nlone, and in stead of one interesting and beautiful figure for who ever thinks of the groom? thero- comes a group of lovely maidens, a galaxy ot beauty in which each star is of equal brilliancy. It Can hardly be gain' said that in their picturesque array the bridesmaids aro fast stealing the honors from the bride, who must confine herself to the regulation snowy garments of silk satin and tulle, while her maids brighten and beautify tho wedding pageant with sweet artistic fantasies and raphsodies in raiment. So long ns they are'thus attired the truth of tho old adage that "Every wedding makes nnother," is quite sure to bo proved; nnd the charming maid, in addition to her gifts of pin and locket and hanglo and buckle, may count among her tronhies a caDtured heart.

Ladies Homo Journal. The Retort Unfortunate. A certain Shakespearean club In one of the most fashionable suburbs was enter tained successively by the various mem bers. It finally became the duty or popular young bachelor to assume the position of host. Wishing to make the evening a pleasant reminiscence to all present the gentleman had Rosalie Music hall, In which ho proposed entertaining, decorated In a charming manner. He also had n delicious luncheon served by a proficient caterer, and the appoint ments were elegant in every particular. So thoroughly enjoyable was the evening that every one felt like expressing their thanks to the young host, and In various pretty speeches did the ladles signify their appreciation of his efforts. Surrounded by a bevy of his fair guests, the face of the young man was the picture of delight, when another voting ladv ioined the circle and offered thanks where thanks were due. Her manner of expressing herself, however, caused the light to die out of the young gentleman's face, and baby stare en perseded it. It might be remarked here that the young man had offered his hand to a Rosalie Court bells the preceding month and been refused. And the lady, entirely unconscious of the affair, said "Oh. Mr. Blank, I really must oompli ment you on the charming manner In which you have entertAined us this even ing. Everything has been perfectly lovely; we have noticed the absence of nothing that would have added to the evening's enjoyment, unlets, perhaps, hostess, and (in a piquant manner) we are sure that is something you really couldu t procure."
