TILE FALSE LOVER.. "I think it must be almost time for him to come now r' Gertrude Fisher glanced up at the clock, a tiny mother-of-pearl dial, resting in a tangled muss of gilded wheat and ivy leaves, beneath an elaborate glass shade ; the hour hand was fast verging on the figure eight when Gertrude sighed softly to herself, and no more took up the bit of delicate needle work with which she was occupying herself. Gertrude was a tall. noble loolieng girl, with jet black hair brushed plainly back from her clear, pale face, and features pure and emotionless as those of a classic statue. Her dress was of rich wine dared silk, but very simple; and the garnet or naments that she wore, set -4n heavy Etruscan geld, seemed peculiarly aduptea to her style of beiuty. • All the fittings and appointments of ' the room around hei were elegant and luxurious. betokening the refinements of wealth. The carpet was of a soft pearl gray, with white buds strewn over it, deli cately shaded into crimson, the walls were gray, panueled with gold ; and the furni ture was of darkly veined rosewood, up holstered with grey velvet; while the pictures, hanging from a glided rod which run around the inner edge of the cornice, the stutuetts on their carved brackets, and the alabaster vases, filled with rare trail ing ferns and hothouse blossoms, were se lected with the utmost taste and care. For Gertrude Fisher was an heiress, and she had learned the best and truest way of enjoying . wealth. The time seemed to pass away very slowly as she sat there, hattmitg, to the silver tick of Oa cluck, and au occasional fall of a glowing cider from the gate into the polished fender below, and waiting auriously for her engaged lover to make ins appearance. "He is not often so late, as this," thought Gertrude, drawing out her little jeweled watch, and compairing it with the clock, with a sort of an acknowledged hope that the mother-of•p.•arl dial was too fast. But no; the two timepieces tallied exactly, and Gertrude had no re. Inge bat to ingiit again, andsblame her self fur being too particular. "Of course I walnut expect him to measure time by the second,' she said. But nevertheless she did feel a little disappointed. "I wonder where Cecile is," mused Gertrude, "Even her merry, unreasoning cilia would be better than this dead silence and loneli ness. I suppose she has gone up to her room for the iiight.". But Cecile Moore had not gone up to her room, as her cousin supposed. She was in Use little Ache down titaire • and George Tracy was with her—the ree'ream. tar whose coming sweet Gertrude sighed in vein. Cecile was as different from Gertrude us a glancing tire-fly is from the steady glow of a star, or a babbling, sparkling stream from the silver surface of a lake. She was small, and perfectly shaped and piquaut with golden hair and a transpa rent skin, and those peculiar turquoise blue eyes, which so often accompany a blonde style of beauty. She had came to London, at Gertrude's invitation, to spend-I the winter with her; and Gertrude's gen ' erosity had supplied the soft. blue merino which she wore, with its sapphire velvet trim gs, and even the set of pink coral which relieved her waxen skin with its deep ruse tint. Gertrude had grown very fond of Cecile, whom she regarded as a sort of plaything—a live doll, or a tiny i white kitten—and Cecile found her cous in's luxurious home a pleasant contrast to the dreary farm-house, where her uncle and his second wife barely tolerated her as a nurse, seamstress, and general drudge to their many children. " Answer me, Cecile," persisted George Tracy, holding both her small white hands in his, and looking directly into the tur quoise-blue eyes. Cecile struggled to escape. "George, how can you ? What would Gertrude say ?" " I don't Lure two straws what Gertrude says! I am only interested in you. my darling. Tell me—do you love me?" " George?" " For I love you, little pet, better than all the world besides. There, it's out now, and 1 don't care who knows it." Cecile put her hand on his lips, with an apprehensive glance toward the door." " Why is this?" he asked. " She must nottnow, George. I should be sent home to-morrow I" "Then you will try and love me, dear est ?" he pleaded. She gave him a glance from beneath her lung, curled eyelashes—a glance, half tender, half cuquetish, and entirely be wildering. George Tracy had been wav ering and uncertain before; now he lust his self-possession entirely. And while Gertrude sat waiting and wondering in the drawintroum above. George and Cecile arranged the treacherous plan which was to wreck her Inipp.ness forever. with calm, smiling faces, and voices which never faltered once. "• Sarah go up stairs and call Miss Moore to the breakfast table," said Ger trude the next morning, to the parlor maid, who bad brought in the hissing urn. "She is later than usual." Sarah went accordingly, but presently returned with a scared face. "She's not in her room, ma'am, and the bed's nut beaslept in." And that was the last Gertrude Fisher beard of her cousin Cecile and her be trothed husband, George Tracy, for long sad years. What did she do? What do people generally do when the weight of a great misfortune falls upon them, crushing the eery life and vigor' out of their hearts? They suffer and endure, and live on. Ger trude did this; and after the first , bitter ness had died.out of. her nature-..-0, hitt& ly;and azener?us one—she even learned think; forgisitigly of George and the little. bliiikko. girf she had so loved and lila *DIU* her first youth =',suer, sod- she iettlettlescefally r d iuto_s. softeoltediteuder-sytut -old uttidilar Oednaltetainuanot quest those kola natures which CO graft a DEW on to an old disappointment, and be hap py, after all has come and gone. It was toward the close of a log ring day in December that Miss Fisher's carri age closely shut., and cushioned with vel vet, drew tip in front of one of those fash ion emporiums where ladies delight in edngregating. Madame D'Anhri herself came forward to greet the rich heiress. " Is my dross finished, madame?" in quired Gertrude. Madame would inquire. Would Miss Fisher be seated? Presently she return ed, in a fit of French gesticulating de spair. "It was through no fault of hers, but Miss Bliss, the forewoman, had allowed the seamstress to take it home to finish, as she had a sick husband whom she could not leave, and they were starving—abso- Niemen! starving," cried Madame D'Au bri, with a fluttering motion of her flexile augers. "But it should be sent for im mediately, the robe of solo grix and it was the last, the verylust time that a dress should ever be allowed to go out of the establishm t. " " Never mind, madame," said Miss Fisher, good-hunioredly ; "it is really a mutter of no great moment. Fortunate ly, I have other dresses, so you need not h urr A y." nd she re-entered her carriage, fol lowed by Madame; apologizing all the way. Gertrude had nearly reached her home,' when she pulled the check-string, and I told the driver to go back to Madame D'Aubri'e. "I suppose it is foolish," she thought within herself, "but I can't help thinking of that pour seamstress with her sick hus band." Mudame D'Aubri was astonished by the eeciaid appearance of Miss Fisher. "The address? I will obtain it of Miss Bliss," she said, "if you will kindly wait." Presently she came rustling behind ' the counter, with a bit of paper, which she gave to Gertrude with a low curtsey. Gertrude glanced at it. " A bud neighborhood, I should judge," she remarked, casually. " Oh, opprobioud, indeed !" assented Madame, who was a little uncertain in the use of English adjectives. Gertrude gave the paper to her coach man, with directions to him to proceed directly thither. It was nearly dark when she reached the number indicated—a melancholy looking house, in a miserable neighbor hood. "Fourth floor, back room," said an old woman on the ground fluor ;and gathering her silken skirts closely around her, Miss Fisher mounted the steep stairs, where, to judge from appearances, brooms and soapsuds were alike iguured. se ee k e t e ebeet ...rte at. the door of the 'tom Indicated. A hollow-eyed little child, scantly dressed, opened it just far enough to peep through. Gertrude could see tile murky glimmer of a lamp on tee table, and the A ullen glow of an I asutlici eat tire in a miserable grate. The room was small, and exceedingly elude, and bore I the aspect of tile wretchedest peverty. " I have come here, in search of a searn trees, who works fur Madame Celeste DAtibr," said Gertrude. " Mamma 1" said the little child, doubt fully; but ohs opened the doer a fraction wider, and Gertrude entered. A woman was sewing on the identical rule de ewe grin with intent eyes and dy ing fingers. A man stretched motionless on the bed, with a sheet pulled up over 1 his face. " You are inl trouble," said Gertrude, gently, trying to accustom her eyes to the dim, uncertain light. The woman made a fretful motion of her elbow, but never looked up. " Dont disturb me r' she said, petulant ly. .‘l am free at last; but I can't bury him until. Pee done this work, and got the money." "Cecile ! Cecile Moore I" The woman looked up, at length, push ing back the flaxen hair, that hung in wild die irder over her eyes. " Who is it that knows me by my old name ?" she demanded. . " I am your cousin Gertrude!" replied' her kind vistor. 1 There was something in her voice and manner that made Cecile drop her work, and rise hurriedly to her feet. The next moment she was sobbing convulsively in Gertrude's gentle arms. "Oh Gertrude!" she wailed, "I wrong ed you cruelly, but I was cruelly punished. If you but, knew how miserable, how poverty-stricken I have been! And be,' —with a shudder—"be beat me, and drank, and gambled, and squandered my wr,ched earning; but lie is dead, now thank heaven, be is dead !" " When did he die ?" asked Gertrude, inexpressibly shocked." " Half au hour ago." Gertrude went to the side of the couch, 1 and leoked at the face of her dead lover— the maw she had so worshiped years ago. It was old and haggard now, with - sunken features and strange set lines round the mouth and brow. And as she stood shuddering there, the last spark of the love she had eherusied for so many years died out forever. She had forgiven him once—now she forgave his memory. "Cecile . " she said, turning to her cons in —alas! how wan and wretched she was; with not a relic of her old beauty remaining—"you must come home with me, you and yont child." "With you, Gertrude?" exclaimed Ce cile, in amazement " With me. Nay, don't shrink away ; I have forgiven von.' And she bent to press a kiss upon the brow that had been so waxen fair once; while'the little one, taught by a child's unerring instinct, clung close to her skirts. " Oh; Gertrude," sobbed Cecile, "I think you must be like the angeles in ' heaven I.'"'

Richard Adams Loam, the Author of the Great ••Moon Hoax. Richard Adams Loche, who threw the country into a terrible excitement about thirty-live years ago by the perpetration of the celebrated " Moon Hoax," died. yesterday at his residence on Staten Island; at the age of seventy-one. In 1835 Moses Y. Beach moved to New York and pur- chased the Sun of its original proprietors. The Sun had been established a short time previous, but it had lingered along upon the verge of a collapse until Mr. Beach took it in hand and placed it fair ly on the road to success. He engaged as editor Mr. Loche, then a young man of literary tastes, but unknown to fame. For a few months after Loche took charge of , the paper, it failed tocreate any marked sensation, and in all probability would have proved as unsuccessful in the end under its new management as under the old, if Loche had not forced it upon the universal notice of the public by the moat ingenious and successful hoax ever perpe ' trated. One day in August, 1835, the first step towards placing the gigantic fraud before the public was taken. A prefatory article appeared in the editorial columns of the sun, announcing that the eminent English astronomer, Sir John Herschel, had recently made some remarkable as trouomical discoveries by means of a monster telescope, at the Cape of Good Hope the information of the Sun being derived from an advance copy of the Ed- in burgh Journal of Science. This prepar atory announcement answered the in trialt-d purpose, and served to attract the attention of the public, to whom none of the rfPurvellous details had yet been given. Expectation was on tip-toe, and when a few days after, the republication of the bogus article from the Edinburgh J',urnol of Science was commenced, the wonder ful story was devoured with the greatest eagerness. The hoax bore the following head :--- "GREAT ASTRONOMICAL DISCOVERIES LATE LY MADE BY SIR JOHN HERSCHEL, L. L. D., P. IL. a., AC., AT THE CAPE OP GOOD HOPE." The hoax was admirably introduced by a dissertation upon the labors of the Her , solids, father and son, and by an elabor ate description of an immense telescope erected by the latter at the Cape of Good Hope, the marvellous magnifying powers of which were commented upon in such a manner as to prepare the mind of the reader for what was to follow. There was also a somewhat elaborate and grave ly written dissertation upon the iuvesti- gations g and discoveries of the astronomers with regard to the moon, which was like the rest of the hoax. sufficiently scientific in its style to throw the unwary off their guard. The supposed wonderful discoveries in the 1110011-4,,LIMICtIV,Ca U.. ........ -- , .. k....... —C. Jan .....ry 10. 1.815, about half-past 9 o'clock. Basaltic rock of a greenish hue was first area, and as the field of vision changed formations similar to those of the island's of Statfa came into view, cov ered in some places with gorgeous red flowers. A lunar forest next appeared, many of the trees being unlike any ever seen on earth, with the exceptions of a few which resembled English-yews. Then followed vat-ions landscapes, all of which Mr. Lucile described with much minute- 'less, keeping sufficiently near to earth nature nut to excite the suspicions of his readers and at the same tune stimulating their curiosity by narrating a variety of wonders such as our earth dues not pos-1 sess. A few lunar animals were said to have been seen oi. the first night of their observations, but the greatest wonders were reserved fur subsequent investiga tions. On the night of January -13, which the hoaxer described as one of "pearly purity and loveliness," the astronomer and his assistants determined to devote themselves to an investigation of a com paratively limited area of the moon's sur face. The landscape features of this area were described by the hoaxer with much minutenessi and various animals resem bling the bison, reindeer, moose, and the earth ; but with sufficient variations to make them remarkable, were reported as having been seen, together with a good many which resembled nothing existing anywhere but in the vivid imagination of Mr. Lucile. The most interesting of all the supposed discoveries, however, was that of creatures resembling human be ings. They were said to be about four feet in height, and were covered, except! their face, with short and glossy copper colored hair. They had wings composed of thin membrane, without hair. which lay snugly upon their backs, from the top of the shoulders to the calves of their' legs. Their faces wen, scribed as of a yellowish flesh color, atn ' as resembling '‘ ourang•outangs soewhq in expression, ! but more-open and intell ent„ and with greater expansion of forehead. The mouth was prominent, though somewhat reliev ed by a thick beard on the lower jaw, and by lips distinctly human. These erect tires appeared to the astronomers as being engaged in conversation, and their gesti- ! cuiations were impassioned and rapid, I and all their actions gave indications 0 1 intelligence. The domestic habits of these lunar men were described with much mi nuteness. Another wonder was a mug- I inficient temple of polished sapphire, and roofed with yellow metal, Wherein the lu nar people worshipped, and this was' de scnbed in such a manner us to excite eft-, rions speculations as to the nature of the -religion professed in the moon. The im- ugination of the-hoaxer expanded us he got well into his subject, and the latter part of hie dissertation is a narrative of 1 wonders which would have found little credence had it not been for the ingen ious manner in which they were intro duced. ' The full details of Sir John Herschel's marvellous discoveries were not complet ed in the columns Of the Sun for some time, the instalments of• the stupendous jest being very adroitly run tlirough INT, eral numbers, to keep the excitement tip; and not being completed until some time in September. There were persons who doubted the whole . thing ; from the,Start, it is true, but the mass Of, the people swallowed • the' story, mass_ . ifue,stiop, These were the dais ‘ of 'the . 01-lisellioned sailing *huts, . sOlifi . ;oppliii!niO4,icon with Europe was irregular atlitneertait ; and it would of course take considerable VOLUME XXVIII, NUMBER . 31 time for scientific men and doubters to discover whether or not the Edingbnrgh Journal of Science bad published a sup plement, and if such were the fact, to ascertain whether or not it had given to the world any such' marvellous story as was being detailed in the columns of the Sun. An amusing and somewhat acri monious dispute was carried on for some time between the credulous and skeptical concerning the pretended discoveries, but the general verdict of the people and the ' press was in favor of accepting them as truth. Some learned professors in our colleges even went so fur as to write to the Edingburgh Journal of Science for fuller details. The whole story was told with such wonderful minuteness and such downright candor as to disarm the incredulons for the time, It is true•that the hoax, read at the present day, appears so full of crudities, contradictions, and impossibilities that, in the light of our present knowledge, it would be picked to pieces by a school boy. , Lochs, indeed, carried his joke to the most extreme lim its, and imposed on the carelessness of the public in the most reckless way. In one place he stated that the lens of Sir John He chefs monstrous telescope would not render perceptible objects less than eigh teen inches in diameter, and immediately after referred to the astonomer detecting the shope and color of the eyes of small birds. People were too completely absurb ed in the startling picture as a whole to notice at once such a trifling ddect in one of its details. The wonderful man-bats I and the hairy veils by which the eyes of the bisons were protected from . the glare of the sun were too entertaining to allow the mind to wander to less interesting absurdities. So the hoax was a complete success for the time, and the few who doubted were to be found principally in The ranks of the ignorant, among those who knew lit tle or nothing about astronomy, and jioubted simply bceause they would accept no evidence of the truth. For wally years the "Moon Hoax" was out of print, at/a could be found only in the scrap-books of curiosity-mongers, but in 1839 it was is-, sued in aphamphlet form by William Gowaus, at New York, and even at that late day had a wide circulation. The "moon hoax" established' the Sun upon a firm basis, and by the time the joke was fully exposed, and the people re alized how completely they had been duped, the system of cheap newspapers was so completely successful that it has remained to this day a feature of Ameri can journalism. In 1836 Mr. Loche dissolved his con nection with the Sun, and at once estab lished in New York a political daily pa per of his own, entitled The New Era, which he conducted for some time :with consideriffieinegess, But he very nu vw incv ll:petit: - Lac-- ___ Hoax" in the columns of his new journal, and as might have been anticipated, fail ed Of success. He pretended to have come, by some accident, into - possession of the lost manuscripts of Mango Park, the cel ebrated African explorer, and from them dished up the finale of his adventures, which were flavored with all the vagaries of an imagination that did not recognize the bonds of reason or the limits of prob ability. No one, however, appeared to be deceived by this trick, and the adventur ous career of Mungo Park was never brought to an end. Mr. Loche afterwards created some little sensation by getting up in connection with a Dr. Sherwood, a practitioner of magnetic remedies, a book on Magnetism as the moving power or vital force of the universe, the more lin mediate object of which was to sot, forth a new magnetic method of ascertaining the longitude. The subject was brought to attention of Congress, but finally es caped the public view, and the author likewise retired ou the laurels he had ob tained as perpetrator of the stapondous "Moon Hoax." A Universalist minister, troubled with dyspepsia, usually found relief by the free I utte of cayenne pep} er as a table condi ment. Traveling West, and fearing that he might not find the article there, he took a supply with him. A western man, observing him use it, said: " Stranger I'm kind of curus about that 'ere red salt of your,n. I'd like to try it." He was told that to was welcome, but that he must be careful if lie were not ac customed to it, as it was very powerful. But ho "could swallow chain lightning," or some other Westering impossibility, and he peppered his food so freely that he was half strangled, and- every one arose to his assistance. As soon as he was able to speak, he turned to the minister, and said - : "Stranger! ain't yori what they call a Vorsalist 9" The minister said he belonged to that denomination.

There is a proverb that " NY hist 11 lag girls and crowing bens Always come to some bad ends." But, notwithstanding the old proverb, a writer steps forward to defend the whistling girls in their independence "Show me the girl who has the hardihood to whistle in these days, when every thing natural, area to the ve ry .. hair of your bead, is at a discount, and I'll show you a girl who can be depended upon, one who will not fill you in time of need, and will give you the true hearty grasp, the cordial hand-shake, the warm, genuine welcome; no tip of' the kid glove, and a cold how-do-you-do ; who can brave dan ger, look toil in the face without shrink ing, laugh with those that weep, as well as whistle with those that whistle; who can, iii short, take the world as she finds it, rough and ragged, not to go through life as though she ivelie walking. on eggs, and afraid of - cracking u shell orb° deals, in substance, not shadow" • Manhood in tbiehrlstiaU'lifeis a bet.: ter . tbing`tbaa'boyhood, , because it is`g - 6 per thing; and 'old ;age **ea' to - a bright*, aud's more serene able than manhood: What Trite Love h. From "Pink and Virtiito Tyranny," by Mrs. IL B. Stou•e. Many women suppose that they love their husbands, when, unfortunately, they have not the beginning'of an idea, what love is. Let me explain to you .my dear lady. Loving to be admired by a man, loving to be petted by him, and„loving to be praised by him, is not loving a man. All these may . be when a woman bas no power of losing at all—they may all he simply because she lovhs herself, and loves to be flattered, praised, caressed, &razed; as a cat likes to be coaxed and stroked, and fed with cream, and have a *arts Corner. Brit all this is not love. It may exist, to be sure, where there is loco; it general ly does. But it may also exist where there is no love. Love, my dear ladies is SELP-SACRIFICE; it is a life out of self and in another. Its very essence is-the preferring of the comfort, the ease, the wishes of another to one's own,. -son - Th LOVE we bear them. Love is wing and not receiving. Love is not a sheet of blotting paper or a sponge, sucking . in everything to itself; it is an out-springing fountain, giving from itself. Love's mot to has been dropped in this world as a chance gem of great price by the loveliest, the fairest, the purest, the strongest lovers that ever trod-this mortal earth, of whom it is recorded that ho said : "It is more blessed to give than to receive." "Now, in love, there are ten receivers to ono giv -1 er. There are ten persons in this world who like to be loved and love not, where there ii one who known how to love. That, oh -my dear ladies, is a nobler at tainment than all your French musio and dancing. You may lose the very power of 'it by smothering it under a load of self indulgence.

Searching for the Site of Bing Sol- omen's Temple. The lion. Richard Faux, Past R. W. Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, A. Y. M., in his valedictory address, stated that "during the past few years a scientific association in London has voluntarily undertaken to institute discoveries on the site of King Solomon's Temple, for the purpose of ascertaining what yet remains of the foundation and superstructure of that wonderful edific. It is beyond doubt that enough has been sacred and prt. 4 ftine history of tligtnto is corroborated. When we hear from an eye witeem that the atones of the founda tion, which have been brought to light, are each designated by a significant mark, cut into each stone, which hasdefied the learning of the philologist and archieolog ists, we are animated with a joy in which only the Masons can participate. Every effort should be made to continue these explorations. Freemasons have a most direct interest in the result. I, therefore, invite my brethren, the Grand Masters of the Grand Lodges of the United States, to take such action as will supply with material aid these explorers, since the craft will be rewarded by evidence thus grasped from the destroying power of time, confirmatory of many of our eso teric teacitin , s. Might it not be well for those Past Grand" Masters who take an interest. in this subject, to unite iW.secrir ino• means to effect this mot desirable object. The symbology of Masonry is a Ines interesting study. The truths which are hidden under theie symbolii may yet receive renewed life in a restirrectaon which would confirm the faith of the fraternity. I would earnestly invite for this subject the early and . practical con sideration of the distinginshed brethren to whom I now appeal for effort to this end." Good Roles.
