' Rupert Thornbury smiled as he looked down at the speaker. Some thing had evidently put her out. " Are you viciously disposed, Mrs. Kathlane ? IL is new to-me." • " I wish you would not call me that, Rupert. Mrs. Rathlane I You do it on purpose, and I don't like it." The last words were spoken liken petulant child, and there was a cloud on the face which looked up for a moment from the soft, vividly-colored wools which the white and slender fingers were knitting; into some in comprehensible " fancy, work." A very beautiful face it was, and a very beautiful woman was little Mrs. ,Kathlane, and no one in the wide world was more thoroughly con= vinced of that fact , than Rupert Thornbury. She was slight and small in figure —girlish-looking still despite her four-and-twenty years. No other woman would have dared with her complexion, to wear the colors which 'she did—often in defiance of ordinary rules. She wore, this morning, a deep royal purple dress, with purple bands in her dark hair, and looked charming. Her hair drooped over her forehead in lustrious waves, and was fastened behind with a high golden comb.. Her face was almost marvelous in its perfect form and brilliant' coloring; and her great dark eyes, with their long labhes, were enough of themselves to turn an ordinary man's head. -" I don't like it," she said again, glancing at her companion, who was abstractedly tangling the bright wools, apparently lost in thought, "and 1 shall be seriously angry with you if you persist in being so formal. For it is formal, 'after yon have known me since A was a little child, to speak as though' we were strangers." " not call you so again Mili cont. Only "--r- Mr. Thornbury paused. - - "Only what?" returned the im perious little lady, giving him an other searching glance. "'Things have changed a great deal laincv you were a child, Milicent. Youl are a woman now, wealthy, cimrteil, tattered ; and I—but it is no goOd of talking of these things. must by going . Will you promise me the first waltz to night Y" " Certainly.

Good morning, Mill cent •, don't forget your promise," and then he was gone. Gone, and unconscious, as he walked swiftly down the street, that Milicent Kath lane's dark eyes were looking after him', and Unit 'belt she turned back to' her work, a soft sigh fluttered from her beautiful lips, and a shadow clouded her face. Ile bad known , her, as she said, since she was a little child ; and he, a strong, rude lad, bad loved the flower-faced , little Milicent dearly; and when at the age of eighteen, be had been `sent' away from home to qualify himself to play a part in the work of life, it was with a secret determination to return after years had pissed and Claim her. Although she was.: a child not a dozen pars Aril 1. Ina WM. S. VINCI; NT. , ME Seek , - 01.11DPA AID BUT. • 1 Itlftled e. 1 .1 1It1;!. old, she had taken the warmest place In his warm heart for her own. Years passed by, and Rupert Thornbury worked hard and well, but the fortune he so ardently wished for never came. He was an honor able man;, and, crushing his - own heart back, he took his father's burdens on his strong young should ers, and bore them bravely. Only once he faltered, and that was when, after scarcely six _years had passed since he first went out into the world, news came to him that Milicent, his "little Milly," was married. 'lt was her father's wish, the gossips • said. Mr. •Xathlane, the suitor, was im mensely wealthy, and having been fascinated by Milicent's beauty, her parents had used; ail their influence with her, and the end was she mar ried. ilicent, now Mrs. Xathlane, went away to her husband's home and Rupert Thornbury went on with his dull, distasteful labor, with not even the old boyish dream to lighten his task. Six years more passed slowly by, making many changes in the affairs of both. lkiri Kathlane died sudden ly after two or three years of married life, and Milipent went abroad with some friends. - She had been back nearly a year now, and had settled down to a town life. During this period the old childish friendship for Rupert Thornbury had been warmly re newed, and Rupert had: discovered that, charming as she was in her childhood and girlhood, now that she was a woman she was infinitely more so. During this year life . bad grown a deal brighter to" Mr Thornbury ; he was prosperingolowly and stead. ily, and had gained many friends. Anxious mammas louked ' upon him with favor, and many bright eyes gave him bewitching glances— hitherto in vain. His whole heart and be knew it was still with Miliceat Kathiane; bat her marriage bad raised her, both as to Wealth and position, so far above himself that he did not,. except at some fond delusive moment, dare to aspire to her. He was only a city man, plodding on in his dote city office, with his three. or four clerks under him. "How beautiful she is r he thought, as he walked away from the house. ",Just the same little Milly at heart, too, as in the dear old days. And her glances—oh, if I might dare to believe in them !—seem as true to me as they were .then. Hat what would the world say ?" That night saw him at . Mrs. Granger's, a fashionable woman with several daughters, one of whom, Cormeliti, had made a dead set .at Mr. Thornbnry. He stood in ,the lighted rooms, watching eagerly' for Milicent ; but it was Lot until very late when she arrived. As she came down the long room—moving as though she bad been, from , earliest childhood, accustomed to reign in society—a murmur of Admiration followed her. 1 She was dressed in a trailing robe of pale silvery blue, with an over dress of soft white lace ; her beautiful neck and arms were bare, save for their ornaments of fretted gold ; her face was untouched by paint or powder, and her,vivid coloring made her beauty seem almost unearthly as compared - with some of the inane faces around her. Her black hair, elaborately dressed, was fastened here and there with drooping sprays, looping her overdress, and - in ber jeweled boquctere, the scarlet buds glowed and burned. "Is she not loirely In That was a question which every one could have answered in the affirmative. And many an envious 'heart was hidden under the smiling faces which greeted her. " There is Mrs. Kathiane, Mr, Thornburg," said Cornelia Granger, a tali, pale, ill-natured girl, to whom Rupert bad been saying civil noth ings for the last few minutes ' and who Was furiously jealous of Mrs. Kathlane in her heart of hearts. " You gentlemen are wild about her, I believe. Red and blue—what ex cruciating taste I wonder her maid does-not teach her better." "Every one has not yonreritical eyes, Miss Granger," said Rupert, laughing. " I thought her dress charming." "Of course." . Miss Cornelia was , not an amiable girl, as we have said, and .that moment her temper was inching her rather sourly. " Per haps you make one of those who are wild over her, Mr. Thornbury ?" " ItWould be no use to me, I ex pect, if I were," replied Aupert, in his candor. " Well, I suppose not—as . she soon is to be married again." "Married again I" he uttered. "So reports run, " said Miss Granger, hying with her fan. "To whom ? I have not heard of " To Mr. Worthington, a cousin of her late husband, you know." " I know - him," cried Rupert, feeling as he knew not - how. " Dick Worthington's - not worthy of her. It would be desecration." "She may not think so. It is said that there was a great deal of in tAmacy before Mr. Kathlane died. She married him simply for his ,She well known--and the handsome cousin used to be a fre quent visitor. There was a great deal of gossip about, it at , the time, lit:id—but there's Dick Worthington now. Look how her color 'rises when she speaks to him." . 6 Are -you quite certain your in 'formation is correct, Miss Granger?" The pale eyes glanced at him, and then looked away. " About the engagement ? Quite sure, Mr. Thornburg. . At least,: the world is sure of it. I am neither more nor less wise than it."' Mr. Thombury .did not change color at the news, or seem, in reality, to feel much surprised ; he stood laughing and chatting with - the young lady for a few moments on different subjects, and then excusing himself, sauntered across the room to where Mrs.-Kathlane sat, surrounded by an admiring group, of whom. Richard Worthington was one. " It, is my waits," said Mr. s Thom. bury, aa she looked tip, and greeted ' , i- if :: , 1.:!

She laughed a little silvery laugh as she arose, " I am never tired of dancing. Richard,,; I . will leave my Sowers - and fan with you as a hostage." ; • it was _nothing, this leaving with him her fan and dowers—it was like a thousand little coquettish ways which she had—but Rupert thinking, oh, how , bitterly I of what bad just been told him, fancied that he saw something deeper than her usual light coquetr) , in the glances she gave the handsome young fellow, and groaned in spidt. It seemed a , full confirmation of, what he ,had heard. _ " One, two, three. One, two, three. You are shockingly out ,of step, Rupert I" Said she, after the first turn. "What is the matter Y . You look as if you had seen s, ghost." - "I have," he said, almost grimly, "the ghost of a dear hope," and she; half frightened at his tone, looked at him questioningly. But in another moment he smiled back at her, and. she was reassured. "Don't talk nonsense , Rupert. - There you . are dancing beautifully now. What were, you,. and that odious Cornelia Granger talking about so long ?" *- • " Odious, do you call her ?" " Well, I do, Rupert. think her. so •, she has not a spark of good feeling in her. Don't you gv and tell her now 1" . ' "Do you think she is truthful, Milicent "No, [don't. Take care." ; They whirled lightly through the mazy figures of the waltz;'admiring eyes followed their every motion, jealous eyes resting upon them from many of the fair mothers of fairer daughters; while the sterner sex looked on ' with envy at the favor shown for our hero by the most be witching woman in the room. On they whirled, the admired and envied of the gaudily illuminated balls, faster and faster. " How beautifully they waltz i" Even Cornelia Granger involun .airly spoke in admiration, and a slender youth near her gave it , as his opinion that "Thistledown couldn't be lighter than Mrs. Kathlarre in a waltz." • "Are you tired ?" said Rupert, looking down at. the beautiful Dice; and Milicent for answer said she: could keep on forever. And so they danced on. until Rupert saw the bright Color fading away, and the sensitive mouth beginning to droop a little at` the corners. " You are tired," he said, and then, Wore she could answer, he whirled her through the low, open window into the cool, fresh air, on the balcony. " Thanks," sbe said. " I believe I was a little faint. Will you let my cloak ?" and then, until her cloak came, she sat quiet, like a child, with head resting wearily on the " The next dance but one is Richard's," she said, as he wrapped the soft, white cloak around her tenderly. " I must not alight him. But I will stay out here until then, unless you wish to go back—in which case I will not keep you with me. I am engaged for every one of them, .1 am afraid. I could have been engaged three or four times over," she added, laughing. "I am sorry,.Repert, " 4 No matter," he interrupted her almost rudely. . _ 66 I must get used to it,.l suppose." He was standing be-, fore her, looking down at her } and ,i she,. in her pretty, imperious way; laid - her band on his arm. ' "- You are cross to-night," she, said. "Sit down beside me, and tell what it is that troubles you." He hesitated for a moment, and then with a reckless determination to disclose everything, and afterwards leave her forever, he told her the story of his long love for her; told her in a fierce, hard way; which elf. ( 1, most frightened her, and yet - mad her reverence and admire him "mor 1 , perhaps, than ,She had done before. ." I have loved you, Milken - W-1 love you now more than you cap im agine, and have not told .your because —because you are so far 'removed from me in everyway. I feared you would think-me mercenary. I feared —O. Milicentl Heaven only knows how I have loved you; how I have longed to tell' you, and yet I have not the courage. Now it is too late, either for harm or good. I shall pray for your happiness always with the man you have chosen." • "What do you mean, Rupert I" The profound wonder in her voice made him hesitate. " I healtd of your engagement with Mr. Worth ington." "Who has told you that ?" she asked. But in the same moment Richard Worthington stepped through the window, and came , to wards them. - • • " I have been searching for you everywhere," he said, laughing in his boyish, good-natured way. "It's my dance, most respected Cousin Miii cent." And she was forced to go, with out another word to the man beside her. "Rave' ,you and Mr. Thornbury been quarreling ?" said Richard, who, to do him justice,, was entirely in nocent of any thought of Dirs. Bath lane, or anybody else, as a wife. "He looked black as a thundercloud, and you are pale." . "I was a little faint after the waltz," she answered. " Don't tease me, Dick," and so Richard Jeisisted, from his inquiries. . Meanwhile Rupert -Thornbnry, left alone with only 'his own thoughts for company,--sat as utterly and en tirely wretched ass man can feel bat once in a lifetime. Inside the room the music kept untiringly on; the gay dancers floated past the win dows; every face was bright with smiles.

The prep. aration of artificial champagne is one off' them. First of all we are told the amount of alcohol, sugar, acids, etc., which a genuine French champagne contains, and then informed bow this can be imitated by chemical science.. The steel is to have ge latine added to it', to precipitate tannic acid, and, after. filtration, it is flavored by the 'edition of sugar, tartaric acid, .glycerine, and cognac or spirits of wine. An agreeable aroma is given by extract of violet, celery, heliotrope or jasmine. If a a red wine' is desired, an alcoholic extract or bilberries is added. Truly,. science is a wonderful thing, thus to convert, or. the instant, a white wine into a red one. If the wine is, not sufficiently cremant, the addition of gum arable will remedy the mstter. And glycerine seems to play an im portant part, in manufacturing chem istry just now. We have the word of the Royal Society that it is possible to adulterate milk with 3 per cent. of glycerine Water without the possibility of detection by the' usual modes of txamination. This Journal of the Chemical Society also tells its readers what to use instead . of copper salts to make preserves and pickles look green. Manufac turers, as we are told, have been in duced% in order to improve the ap-.. peanince of the preserved article to restore the green color by the midi- Lion of a salt of copper. A much more harmless and equally effective coloring agent has been obtained by these chemists by. dissolving the chlorophyne from parsley or other similar plant with a solution of caustic soda. Evidently,. young chemists _have a wide field open+ to them.

A certain disciple of Esculapius, who loves a joke, is the owner of a fine skeleton, set up in such a Manner that by , opening the door *of the. receptacle, and touching a spring the bony object will walk forward several steps and out of the door. 'Among many pests and detriments to study and thought which this physician is daily subjected to, is the frequent intrusion of apple, orange and other fruit venders, in the shape of small boys. The other day while in alose proximity to the 'door of the closet in which the skeleton is kept, the good doctor's reverie was broken off by the entrance of one of those youthful venders with a shrill cry : " Want to buy any apples?" Think ing to have some sport at the apple vender's expense, the worthy physi cian suddenly threw open the closet door, and touching the spring, forth stalked the "skeleton, in' al! his bony majesty. A basket was instantly dropped to the floor, a half bushel of apples- rolled broadcast ..over the room, while a terribly scared youth was seen disappearing through the office doors with shrill cries. After enjoying a quiet laugh, the physician busied himself in picking up and re storing to the basket the scat'ered fruit, expecting the lad would return in a moment for his stock in trade. After a brief interval, the physician noticed from the window the lad standing in the street, gazing spell bound at the office door. Seeing the lad evinced no disposition to return for his basket and fruit, the doctor carried the same to the door, which he opened, and calling.to the lad, re quested him to come and get it. Judge of the doctor's surprise when he was greeted with the following response to his invitation : "No you don't, you can't fool me if you have your clothes on." Now it happened that a friend of the physician, who is tall and thin, and not blessed with a single ounce of superfluous-flesh, was passing the office and beard the re. mark of, the lad. and having ase.er taized the cause which called it forth, the situation was too ludrierous to keep, and the various friends enjoyed many a laugh at the doctor's expense over the incident. silizyvvvzioawd Wood M•untaln Letter to Chicago Tribune. Some little time ago . your local correspondent at this point sent you an account of Custer's death which turns out to have beep erroneous. An Indian represented to him that Custer shot hints:lf when he saw his troops abandoning him. Conversations with several warriors who were present at the fight, and with Obo, a brother of Little-Knife, demonstrate that the suicide, was accidental, and that the officer was not Custer. Obo says he saw the officer and attar-Iced him. The officer turned his horse and fled, shooting at Obo over his shoulder as the Indian. pursued.. One of the shots intended for Obo, instead of passing over the officer's shoulder, pierced his breast, _ and he fell dead at the redskin's feet. • Three or four warri ors corroborate each other in their description of Caster's fate.

A gentle man who claims to know, gave a re porter for the Saturday News the fol lowing as the manner in which it was first used : In the neighborhood of Washing. ton, Wayne County, lived a well known character named Bill Dean. He was what is generally termed a "smart Aleck," always endeavoring to perpetrate a joke at somebody's expense. One day, while riding to Richmond, every fact of which he knew, he espied an old gentleman named Cheezum, accoutred for a hunt, earnestly , looking up a tree. Approaching him, Dean asked " Can you tell me the way to Rich mond ?" - " There was two of 'em run this 'ere- tree," was the response of the old gentleman, who was some what deaf. "I didn't ask you anything about squirrel& How far is it. to Rich mon i ?" "One of 'em just went in,that hole; didn't you see him ?" said the old man earnestly.

" Little Golden Hair" they called her, the -bright beautiful baby who came into the world• one sunny June Morning. It may have been for the short yellow curls that clustered about' the little head, or it may have been for the long golden ray of sun sh'ne that streamed in upon the baby, crownicg her with a halo of golden. light. I cannot tell, baby never knew another name. Poor little Golden Hair! It was a dark, cold world she entered that bright June day ; for baby's father was a drunkard, and all that day he bad lain on the floor of the miserable little cottage, sleeping off the effects of his last night's ca rousal ; and now, just at night, be staggered in, with short, uneven steps and a pale,, haggard face, to look at , baby. • "John," said his wife; trying to smile, while the to stood in_b_er. eyes; "isn't she beautiful, our Hitt° daughter?" "Yes, as pretty as most babies are I suppose," said Mr. Harper, roughly. 44 Oh, John I" pleaded his wifei"for baby's sake ? give up drink ; won't you?" she added, piteously. Mr. Harper said nothing, but that. evening he stayed tat home, the first time in week?. Months passed away and found Mr. Harper a sober man. No liquor had passed hisJips since baby came, and Mrs. Harper's was a life of daily thanksgiving and prayer for strength for her husband. But the temptation at length proved too great and he fell. It was a dreary December night. All day the snow had ben falling, and the wind whis tled about the cottage; The old clock on the church steeple 'struck nine, and ten, and still Mr. Harper' delayed his coming. Bending wear ily over some work, Mrs. Harper sat. waiting, one foot on the rocker of Golden Hair's cradle, listening, while Eddie, who beside baby was her only child, read to her from a book which he had borrowed from a neighbor. At last the old clock struck eleven. Eddie cloied his book 'with an ex clamation of surprise. "Oh! ma what does keep father; will he never come ?" heafiked going to the window and striving to look out through the falling snow. . " les dear," answered the mother, cheerfully, although weighed down with inward fear and anxiety. "too to bed- now, mywm • it is very late." Eddie was an obedient boy and at once started away. There is no need to describe the scene that followed; In one hour, Mr. Harper, shorn of his very man hood, was lying' in a drunken slum ber on the little bed, once more slave to the fiend of intemperance. . Thus passed a year. Meanwhile little Golden Hair grew more and more beautiful. Each day saw some added grace, and her sweet, winning baby ways were a constant source of delight to Eddie and her mother. One evening, as the father staggered in, as usual, little Golden Hair tod dled 'to the door to meet him, giving a happy little shout, as she lisped some words her kmother had taught her to say : "I love 'oo, papa" and the bosom heaved with sobs. "Get out of my way tell you," and. the drunken man raised his heavy hand. Mrs. Harper and Ed die rushed forward, but• the heavy blow had descended, and little Gold en Hair lay upon the floor, the blue eyes closed and the winsome 'voice hushed forever, the mother thought, as she raised the senseless_form while Eddie rushed for the physician. The father was sober in ,an instant. "Mary give her to me. Have I killed her ? Oh I have killed her," he sobbed, as his Wife had the prec ious burden in his outstretched arms. —"God knows I did 'not mean to hart you, Golden Hair; my pet my darling. Wake op little one and tell papa you forgive him," he cried, smoothing the long golden curls lying over his arm, and then, unable to contain himself , wretched man sobbed like a child. Eddie soon returned, bringing with him the family physician; an old, gray headed man, with whom little Gold en Hair was a favorite. All that could be was done, and the little one soon opened-her eyes, and lantuidly looking around said, slowly, as her eyes rested slowly on her - father: "I love 'oo, papa." " Oh! baby! Oh! Golden Hair! Anything but that," exclaimed the wretched man and then added, al: most frantically: " Doctor, save my baby save my little Golden Hair, and I will never taste another drop of liquor of any kind—so ;help me, Godl" he added reverently. " Dod love me, too,"/.7inoaned ,the childish little voice feebly,ita she fell into along, long slumber. God spared Golden Hair l that • " P --.1. Rarett. Ay4llol,4*)Aom;S:flall BY ELIZA M. SBEIIMAN-.
