HOW UAItT SWEET mOVED THAT IOVD WAS ABOVE IUCIIES "And so you could not marry a poor man, Mary?" "No, indeed, I couldn't! Why, Jamra, what on earth should I do as a poor mans wife? I havo nevor bcon usod to work, you know ( and all poor men's wives havo to work, don't they ?" "Not always, dear. I did not mean such poverty as that, exactly. But I supposo thoy havo to bo a litllo solf-denyiiiB nnd do without a great many things that you might think in disponsablo to your comfort." " Vos, I knowt and thoy can't go to tho opera, or buy a now dross when thoy want ono, but whon they pass a shop window shut up' their purses over so tight and hurry on. That's what Jennio Jones does, for 6ho told mo so herself ; and Clara does her own cooking, and minds her own childron, and sho hasn't bought a now bonnet for a year." May Sweet opened her prettv hluo eyes vow wido as sho reaeliofl ttn cul minating point of her distressing state ment, ana raised them to Jamas Mor loy's fnco to moot tho answerii g ex pression of horrified pity sho expeotod to find thoro. But James only smiled down at hor a littlo gravely in roturn. "And yet Mrs. Jones apponrs to mo to bo ono of lha most nhmrfnl. contented persons I know," )io re joined. " Why, of course sho is. It's won derful to see how sho bears up. But, then, she's a real love thoro a-o few pooplo liko hor." " You talk as if sho had great mis fortunes to bear up under. Ma) v. It seems to mo that my friend Jon as has very cosy, well-appointed littlo homo. I never seo any evidences of discomfort or noploct when I go there." Oh. Jambs. cverTlhintr is -erv Elain and cheap all over tho houso. do liko nico furniture don't you?" "Most pooplo do doars but 1 don't think handsome furniture, and Brus sels carpets, and silk dressoi, and theatre-coin a. and now bonne ,n am absolutely indispensable to ono'j hap pinessdo you ?" " I supposo you are laughing at mo, you bad man 1 But if I do liko protty things I am not a bit extravagant, and you know it." Not a bit vou never indnlca in such costly trifles ns this, fir in stancol" and ho held up tho dainty wrist encircled by a glittering brace lot which cost ton Guineas, and which Mary, seeing in a jeweler's vindow tho day boforo, had taken a fa acy to and bought bocauso " it was i uch a love," though her jowel-bo: was stored with moro of suoh orn .ments than rfie knew what to ''o with But then theso were " old," an I sho was tired of them ; and this wai some thing unique,, and quito in new stylo, as tho jowoler had assure 1 hor; and hor friond, Janet Leech, w 10 was shonninii with hor. had oxcliiraed. " Oh, Mary, buy it I It is char ningly pretty !" And so, without mui a ado, tho banWo was purchased, a d tho bill sent in to papa. " Pana" was a wealthv me chant. who thought his daughter tho loarest littlo girl in tho world, and i rgave all her extravagances because h loved her so much that ho could no. deny hor anything sho wanted, which camo to nretty much tho samo thing. Ever fnco her mother's death, which had occurred when sho was a baby, he had devQted himself to rotting and pleasing her, in conseque ico of which Mary thought, very naturally, that sclf-indulgencb was the most harmless thing nn tho world, at d that it would bo very dreadful indc id not to havo at least six now dresso; every season, and as much pin-mo toy as. would supply tho wants of Bom caro- iui housewives lor a year. James Morley, too, thought Mary " tho dearest little girl in tho orld," which accounts for his having aslccd tier, about a month previous to tho timO of which I am writine. to be come his wjfo at somo future clay. And Jlarv had accented hi' f. not altogether bocauso ho was rub. nnd handsomo, and admired by rll tho girls sho know, but also because some where down in tho recesses of her foolish littlo heart there lurked -X fund of warm, earnest affection and a true appreciation of her lover's irtrinsio worth. It is only justtco to her to sav that sho could have married a much wealthier man than James. Mr. Wil liams had been over head and oars in lovo with her for tho last eighteon months, and had ropcatedly 1 id his heart and fortuno at her feet said fortune consisting of a clear five thou sand a year, besides expectations of nobody could tell how much more whon Harry Clifton, senior who was in tho declino of lifo-should bid adiou to this mundane sphere. But Marr was tiroof acaicsfc thp fortuno and the creat cxnectations and all Sanford's vows and sighs, and pooplo thought it very much to her credit that she accepted Morley in stead. It has been clearly demon strated, howovor, that had ho been a poor man she could not havo made up her mind to do so, nor is it likely that he would havo clvon hor an on- portunity.j for ho was far too proud to run tho'rlsk of being considered a lortuno hunter. James, doarly as ho loved his littlo fiancee, was not quito blind to her own vanities and weaknesses, and oc casioally took her somowhat to task lor them, as on tho present ocoation. when tho display of hor ologant but unnecessary purchase had led to a slicht disquisition on his part on the folly and uselessnoss of such unprofit able extravagance. Mary, half smil ing and halt pouting, listened to his lecture with a very good grace, partly bocauso it was 60 novel to hor, and partly beoause, as she said, "it was so funny to hear him scold." " But, my darling, I am nob dream ing of soolding," ho replied. "I have hardly a richt to do that vet. and certainly not in the present caso. But 1 only want yon to aounowieaco that this petty toy, which you will soon eet tired of. was rather a useless thine to throw away ten guineas on, when you couia have snent the money so much moro wisely in some other way."

' ' T niT, .11W, ftf f 1 HTft 1J Tn.VtM M. ..... uu.u ui auvu, uuuico u- swonjd, thinking how oharminp sho looked with tho tears starting into hor ohilcMlko bluo eyes, and that jvistiui, haii-aggriovod oxpression on her faOO as sho mndn tlin amI anil his little lecture wnc quito over for muv uvuuuiK. nor aia mo occasion oi ' cur again to his mind. ilut that night, as ho walked homo nder the stars, their convorenHon carao back to his momory, and ho was conscious of a vaguo, undeiinable fool ing of dissatisfaction, a longm? for something he was not luito sure of having obtained. Ho had bon brought un with very nrudont. nensi- blo ideas in regard to money, aud .hough ho was tho most generous hearted man in tho world when occa sion required, he nover indulged in wilful waste, or throw away a shilling simnly'for tho ulcasuro of throwine it away. But it was not tho knowledge ot tno ainoreneo ot fliary's ideas on tho subjqct, or tho thought that sho might 4pcct too much from liim when thoy wers married that troubled him now. 31b lcnowjtie had amnio means of satisf-Cing Jief livants, and was nftt airaid oi over giving her cause to rc nroach him for denrivine hor of any. thing ,to which sho had hovutofora ucen accustomou. But her answer to' hia nuestinn " And so you could not marry a ptfor with a senso of pain, for it seemed 6omchow to lesson tno value of his lovo for her, and to put it aside, ai of minor importance in comparison with his wealth. It was true, ho had not askod hor. "Would you have been willing to marry mo if I had been a poor man ?" but would not hor answor m that caso havo boon just the samo? Was hor affection for him as mire, as decD. as his for her: or was hor gay hoart moro shallow and mvoious man he niton to think? Could ho look forward to liavine hor a truo. womanly holn'noet. to journoy with him through life, or was sho a moro brilliant butterfly, fitted only for sunshino and summer hours V Musing thus, in not a very cl eorful framo oi mind, ho arrived at last at his .lodging. On tho tablo in his room ho found a note, containing only tho luuowiug unui nuiiuu ; " You are wantod at tho offlce with out delaj1. Nows of importanco to communicate." Marvelling much at this summons, whioh was from one of his partners in business. James immediately re paired to his office, where nows of a most distressing character awaitou him. Intelligence had boon received of tho failure of a largo speculation; a bubble liad burst, and tho ilrm, of which he was a mombor among soveral others, was totally ruined. Even his own private fortuno would probably bo swallowed up in assisting to ray tho claims against them. The blow was almost too stunning a ono for him to realize at first. Aftor a long and perplexed consul tation, ho hastened homo in tho chill i?rnv dawn of morninir. a haccard- ltlooking anttmisorabio man. It was not for himseit ne gneveu; nc covia havo borno tho blow bravoly, for ho was young and strong, full of energy and hopo, and in a fow years nt mot.t he know ho could again work his way up. But Mary his betrothed! How could ho expect her to wait on him si long? Ho felt too surely that ali must now bo at an ond between them ; ovory sentiment of duty aud honor required that ho should at onco re icaso her from hor promise, and bring their Ongagoment to a oloso. How. dark tho future looked, when all had boon so bright a few hours before I He reached his lodgings, nr.d, throwing himsolf on a sofa, buried his faco in ills hands. Long ho brooded over his sorrow, powerless to act in any way. At last, with a groat effort, ho roused himself. " This is mere folly 1" he exclaimed. 'What is tho uso of dolaying what has to bo done. Let mo bo a man I I cannot see Mary I could not boar it Inst vet ; but I can writo to her, and I'll do it at once." Ho drew a littlo tablo, with pon, ink and paper, towards him, and aftor junto deliberation, wroto tho following lines : " My Own Mary : Tor I must oall you so or.co moro, though for tho last time whon wo parted last night I was a rich and prosperous man; to-day I am ruined. Our firm has failed, and ( havo nothing in tho world that I can call my own. "Under thoso circumstances, thoro is but ono course loft mo to pursue, and that is to givo you up. I well know that you could not share a life of poverty and toll indeed, I would not ask it. It nearly brcajts my heart to writo theso words. I lovo you moro than I can express, moro perhaps than you will over comprehend. But enough of this; all is over now, sad why dwell on thoughts liko thefn? Our brief engagement is at an end; but you will still permit me will yen not? to cherish its memory ' as 'a bright and beautiful dream, which shed over my life a halo pf tUe purosi happiness I havo evor enjoyed. " Farewell, bless you, my lost love I May you bo'happy in whatever path of lifo you are oailed to walk, is iho fervent, heartfelt prayer of one who can now only sign himself yrur friend, J. if.'' James read this note over, and was not satisfied with it; it seemed too flowery, too elaborate, no had meant to be calm and concise keeping hia own feelings in tho baokground, in stead of obtruding them selfishly upon hor. But as it was written he would let it stand. Ho had a wretched head ache, and a socoud attempt would probably be worse than the first. So ho carried it to tho nearest letter-box, dropped it in with a feeling as if ho were burying a friend, and then re turned home to indulgo at leisnro in his melancholy reflections, for he really folt too ill to make the exertion of going down to tho office, before tho aitornoon, at any rate.

How fleeting had boon his dreim of happiness and lovo 1 how droary and tasteless seemed his lifo when robbed of its grace and glory I Tho woory morning woro away and tho hour of noon rang out from tho steeple close by. He roso im patiently from the sofa, rang for coffoo and somo dry toast, out ootui not tasto them' whon they camo. He had eaten no breakfast, aud felt faint and weary from excitement and istiguo but loathed tho sichfc of food. His landlady, a kind-hearted elderly woman, mute companioned his lov prod and halzcird minoarnncn. "Boar lIr. iMbrley, but you d j look bad !" sho exclaimed. " You had bet tor let mo sond for a doctor." James smiled faintly, and asurcd ner than is was oniy a nervous head acho, which would wear off aftor whilo. Ho was, indeed, sufforinrt from ox treme nervousness, his pulo thiobbod and his blood coursed through his veins with nainful raniditv. Ho tried to compose himself to bleep, but tho attempt was vain. Lato in tho afternoon, as hi was sitting in an arm-chair near tho win dow, he hoard the sound of footsteps on tno stairs leading to his rooms. "Nobody coming to seo mo, I de voutly hope," was his thought. Tho hopo was a vain ono, for tho next minute thero was a tap at his door, and in answer to his re.

Wliimple in tho San Francisco Call Well, that mountain is at once ono of tho most clsantio exhibi tions of man's handiwork and something almost beyond crodenca were we not already familiar with the works of the Aztecs, Just imagine a vnlloy 40 by 80 miles In area, and from its oentor rising a mound ovor 1,200 feot in height, then you can realize the first effect created upon our i j..n.. m. . ....... u... iu ucowiuj. ilt lumuitlU was WHU ".,"r Ti , . t ' with incredulous remarks, aud had by no means suspected he had but privon a modest description of the mound. Wo gazed to tho ton nnd allowed our eyes to follow tho wiudinss of a roiid down to tho base. Wo wont around tho baso and ooniectlired it was about one and a half miles in circumforonco. Then we started for the summit. The road way v os built of solid rock clonr to the pinnacle, and was from 80 to 40 feet in widtlt A wall of solid rock formed a foundation and nn insido wall at tho Bnuie time, The outer edge of tho road was unguarded. These atonos weigh all the wny up to a ton each and aro not cemented Tho roadway is ns level as.a floor and is covered With broken pieces of cnithennare water vessela Half way up the mountain is an altar cut in solid rock; in tho niche fs a bowl- aer which must weigh at least fix tons. The bowlder ia of different stone from th.lt. ilfiail 11, Min n-nlla TI.a I.. mill ... AmA I,. .i,:ii.,i n,..i but arj not polished.

We did look for arrowheads or other warlike implements to oatl-fy ournolves that the moun l had not beeu used for defensive or oQousive mimeses. Nor was there any ovldence to provo that the roadway nail been built for the purpose of witnessing bull fights nnd other sports in the vnlloy. I oould only conclude that tno Azteo sun worshipers expended years of labor on the hill in order that thoy might hnvo nn appropriate place to celebrate their imposing festivals, inas much ne tho roadway was btrewu with broken oarthenware, and thoso scions of a bygono and notable rnco wero kuown to cany nt sunrise largo quantities of water in earthonware Jars to an emi nence, and then pour out the I inn id and smash the vessels. Whon wo descended we brought with us a uumiier of small seasliMls which had petrified, aud if you look at these on my table you will see how they havo been perforated by the Indians. We' ngaiu took a long look at the mountain and saw it was oblong in shape, and that tho upward road commenced on the eastern side. I have traveled on both sides of the mountains from British Columbia to Central America, and on either side of the Sierra Madres where the cliff dwellers havo left suoh remark able mementoes of their skill and cus toms,, but l have never witnessed any thing so woudorf ui and magnillcent as the mound which I have been telllmr you about The valley b about 000 feet nbovo the Ben levol, nnd is about 70 miles from' the coast It is situated in Sonora, between tho cities of Altar nnd Mngda lena, and near the Magdalenn River. We coll tho curiosity Palisade Mountain. and it is well named. On thn Train. Excuse me, sir, but that open win dow is very annoying. " said Blossom to a drummer sitting by the opon window in a railway train. I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you'll havo (o grin and boar It, " said tho drum mer. "I wish you would close it, sir. " "Would like to accommodate you, but I can't, wni the reply. Do you refuse to oloBa that window. sir?" "I certainly do, " "If you don't close-it I will " "I'll bet you won't. " "If I go over thoro I will. " "I'll give oddS you won't " "I'll ask-you once more, sir, will you close that window?" No, sir; I will not " Then I will, sir, " said Blossom, trot ting on his foet I would like to seo you do it " I'll show you whether I will or not sir, " placing bis bauds on the objeollon able window. "Why don't you close it?" said tho drummer, as Blossom tuggod at the win dow.

The old notion of elfotronlatiiu: the human body after death crop up now and oga'n lo some form or other. Its latest development lmlU from Paris. where a physician wants to introduce Mi" w.OV-Ulirllil iU UWU vtlll copper. His process is said to constat in flrstembalmlng the body which Is to be tha art of electroplating the dead with preserved, and then placing It in a bath of oonoeutrated solution of nitrato of silver, from which, having undergone intermediate operations, it emerges the oolor of 'polished silver. A very thin layer of oopper is then deposited on tbo features, which aro afterward varnished, the. preservation of the resemblance to the original being carefully insured throughout the whole prooetw.
