Softly fell the touch of twilight on Judeee silent

Rabbi Solomon responded, faithful to his kingly

His young eyes seemed wells of sorrow- —they

One by one be dropped the lilies, softly plucked

One by one be viewed the sages of that grave

Step by step he neared them closer, till encircled

Then he said, in tones untrembling, with a smile
that breathed of Heaven,
" Nay, nay, fathers ; only he within the measure

For where one Is not, the other must grow

LoMa*" or. The Adventures or a
Young Gentleman In Search of a
Religion, by Mr. liettlambas.
CHAPTER I
" I remember him a little boy," said the
duchess. "His mother was a dear friend
of mine; you knoiv she was one of my
bridesmaids."
"And you have never seen him since,
mamma?" asked the oldest married daugh
ter, who did not look a day older than her
mother.
"Never; he was an orphan shortly
after. I have often reproached inyself,
but it is so difficult to see boys."
This simple yet first class conversation
existed in the morning room of Plosham,
where the mistress of the palatial mansion
sat involved in the sacred privacy of a
circle of her married daughters. Oue
dexterously applied golden knitting need
les to the fabrication of a purse of floss
silk of the rarest texture, which none
who knew the almost fabulous wealth of
the duke would believe was ever destined
to hold in its silken meshes a less sum
than $1,000,000; another adorned a slip
per exclusively with seed pearls; a third
emblazoned a page with rare pigments
and the finest quality of gold leaf. Beauti
ful forms leaned over frames glowing with
embroidery, and beautiful frames leaned
over forms inlaid with mother-of-pearl.
Others, more remote, occasionally burst
into melody as they tried the passages of
a new and exclusive air given to thent in
MS. by some title and.devoted friend, for
the private use of the aristocracy alone,
and absolutely prohibited for publication.
The duchess, herself the superlative of
beauty, wealth and position, was married
to the highest noble in the three king
doms. Those who talked about such
matters said that their progeny were ex
actly like their parents—a peculiarity of
the aristocratic and wealthy. They all
looked like brothers and sisters, except
their parents who, such was the purity of
blood, the perfection of their manners,
and the opulence of their condition,
might have been taken for their own
children's elder son and daughter. The
daughters, with one exception, were all
married to the highest nobles in the land.
That exception was the Lady Coriander,
who, there being no vancaucy above a
marquis and a rental of £lOOO,OOO, wait-
ed. Gathered around the refined and
sacred circle of their breakfast, with their
glittering coronets, which, in filial respect
to their father's tory instincts and their
mother's ritualistic tastes, they always
wore on their regal brows the effect was
dazzling as it was refined. It was this
peculiarity and their strong family resem
blanee which led their brother-in-law, the
good-humored St. Addiesdurd, to stay that,
."Yon my son), yon know, the whole
precious mob looked like a ghastly pack
of court cards, yon know." SL Addle
gourd was a radical. Haring a rent-bill
of £15,000,000, and belonging to one of
the oldest families in Britain, he could
afford to be.
"Mamma, I've just dropped a pearl."
said the Lady Coriander, bending over the
Persian hearth run.
" From your rips, sweet friend,' said
Lothaw, who came of age and entered
the room at the same moment.
" No, from my work. It was a very
valuable pearl, mamma ; papa pin. Isaacs
& Sons £50,000 for the two."
" Ali, indeed," said OW Duchess, lan
guidly rising ; "let ue go to Nmeheon."
"But your Grace," interposed Lotha w,
who was still quite young, and had drop
ped on all fours on the carpet in search
of the missing gem, "consider the val
ue—"
"Dear friend," itotefrinsed the duchess,
with infinite tact, gently lifting him by
the Mils of his dress coat, "I am waiting
fur your OM:"
csArrzEt rr.
Lothaw was immensely rich. The pos
sessor of seventeen castles, fifteen villas,
nihe shooting-boxes and seven town hones
he had other estates of which he had not
even heard.
Everybody at Masbate' played croquet,
and none badly. Next to their puri:y of
blood and great wealth:,- the family were
famous for this accomplishment. Yet
Lothaw soon tired of the came, and after
seriously damaging his aristocratically
lai , ge foot in an attempt to "tight croquet,
the tat Aniseed's ball, he limped away
to join the &chess.
- I'm going to the hen nery," she said.
'Let me go with you. I dearly love
fowls--broiled" he add&t,- thoughtfully.
'The &Ice gave Lady Montairy some
large Cochins the other day," continued
the duchess changing the subject with
delicate tact •
"lady Montairy,
Quite contrairy,
Row do your Clo&hing grow ?
sang Lothaw gayly.
The duchess looked shocked. After a
prolonged silence, Lothaw abruptly and
gravely said:
" If you please, ma'am, when I come in
to my property I should like to build
some improved dwellings for the poor, and
mummy Lady Goriander."
" You amaze me, dear friend,•and yet
both your aspirations are noble and. emi
nently proper," said the duchess;. "Cori
ander isr hub wohild-r-and yet," she added,
looking-gracionslY upon , her companion,
"for the matter of that, so are you."

grand dinnerparty.- Yet, by carefully
watching the ot,hett, he rnanage, di to ac.
quit himself creditably,- and avoided
drinking out of the finger-bowl, by first
testing its contents with al spoon. The
conversation was peculiar and' singularly
interesting.
"Then you think that monogamy is
sidiply a question of the thermometer?"
said Mrs. Butney Giles to her companion.
"f certainty think that polygamy should
be limited by iisethermal lines," replied
Lothaw.
4 1 should say it was a matter of lati
tude,' observed a loud, talkative man op
posite. Re was an Oxford professor with
a taste for satire, and had trade hinzelf
very obnoxious to the company, during
dinner, by speaking disparingly o 4 a for
mer well-known chancellor of the ex
chequer—a great statesman and brilliant
novelist—whom ho feared and hated.
Suddenly there was a sensation in the
room; among the females it absolutely
amounted to a nervous thrill. His emi
nence, the cardinal, was announced. Ho
entered with great suavity of manner,
and, after shaking hands with everybody,
asking after their relatives, and chucking
the more delicate females under the chin
with a high-bred grace peculiar to his
profession, he sat down, saying, "And
how do we all find ourselves this evening,
my dears?" in several different languages,
which he spoke fluently.
Lothaw's heart was touched. His
deeply religious convictions were i mpress .
ed. He instantly went up to this gifted_
being, confessed and received absolution.
"To-morrow," he said to himself, "I will
partake of the communion, and endow
the church with m' vast estates. For the
present I'll let the improved cottages go."
Ca& FTER IV.
As Lothaw turned to leave the cardinal;
he was struck by a beautiful face. It was
that of a matron, slim, but shapely as an
lonic column. Her face was Grecian,
with Corinthian temples; Hellenic eyes
that looked from jutting eyebrows like
dormer windows in an Attic forehead,
completed her perfect Athenian outline.
She wore a black frock coat tightly but
toned over her bloomer trousers, and a
standing collar.
" Your lordship is struck by that Nee,"
said a social parasite."
" I am ; who is she ?"
" Her name is /Lary Ann. She is mar
ried to an American, and has lately in
vented a new religion."
" Ali I" said Lothaw eagerly, with diffi
culty restrianing himself from running
to-ward her.
" Yes; shall I introduce you ?"
Lothaw thought of Lady Coriander's
High Church proclivities, of the cardinal,
and hesitated: "No, I thank you, not
now."
CIIAPTEIt V
Lothaw was maturing. He bad attend
ed two woman's rights conventions, three
Fenian meetings, had dined at White's
and had danced ris-a-via to a prince of
the blood, and had eaten off of gold
plates at Crecy House.
His stables were. near Oxford, and occu
pied more ground than the university. He
was driving over there one day. when he
perceived some rustles and menials en
deavoring to stop a pair of runaway horses
attached to a carriage in which a lady
and gentleman were seated. Calmly
awaiting the termination of the accident,
with high-bred courtesy Lothaw forbore
to interfere until the carriage was over
turned, the occupants thrown out, and
the runaways secured by their servants,
when he advanced and offered the lady
the exclusive use or 'hi- o , Cird stables.
Turning npnn him a face whose perfect'
Hellenic de' ads lie remembers, she slowly
dragged a gentleman from under the
wheels into the light and presented him
with lady-like dignity as her husband,
Major General Camperdown, an Ameri- ,
can.
"!-h," said Lothaw, carelessly. "I be
lieve I Ir , tve some land then•. if I mis
take not, my :gent, Mr. Putney Giles,
lately purchased the state of—lllinois—l
think you a call it."
" Exactly. Asa former resident of the
city of Chicago. let me introduce myself
as your tenant."
Lothaw.bowed graciously to the gentle
*nail, who, except that he seemed better
dressed than most Englishmen,. showed
no other signs of inferiority and plebian
extraction.
'• We have met before," said Lothaw to
the lady, as she leaned on his arm, while
they visited Ilia stablea,•the university and
other places of interest in Otfoi&. "Pray
tell me, what is this new religion of
yours r
" It is worrnin suffrage, free love, mutual
affinity and communism. Embrace it and
me."
Lothaw did not know exactly what to
do. She, however, soothed and sustain
his agitated frame and sealed with an em
brace his speechless form. The general
approached and coughed slightly with
gentlemanly tact.
" My husband will be totr happy to talk
with you further on this -subject," she
said with quiet dignity, as she regained
the general's side. "Come with us to
Oneida: Broolr farm' is a thing of the
past."
GUAR. VI
As totliaw drove toward his country
stat, "The Mural Enclosure," be observed
a crowd., apparently of the working class,
gathered around a singular-looking man
in the picturesque garb of an Ethiopian
serenader. "What does he say ?" inquired
Lothaw of his driver.
The man touched his hat respectfully
and said, "My Mary Aim,"
"'My Mary Ann r" Lothaur's heart
beat rapidly. Who was this mysterious
foreigner? He had heard from Lady
Cormndei of a certain Popish plot; but
could he connect Mr. Camperdown with
it?
The spectacle of two hundred men at
arms who advanced to meet him at the
gates of the Muml Enclosure drove all
else from the still youthful and impressi
ble mind of Lothaw. Immediately be
hind them on• the steps of the baronial
halls, were ranged hie retainers, led by
the chief cook and bottle-washer and
head crum'rcmover. On either side were
two companies of laundry maids, pre
ceded by the chief crimper and fluter,
supporting is long ancestratrirre, on which
depended the family linen, and under
which the yonahful lord of the manor
pealed into the halls of his fathers.
Tweety-fonrseulliouecarrietT the massive
gold and silver plate of the family on
their shoulders, and deposited at the feet
of their master. The spoons were then
solemnly counted , by the steward, anti the
perfect ceremony ended.
Lothaw sighed. He sought out the
gorgtously "Taj," or seared Mau
soleum erected to his grandfather in the
second story front room, and , wept over
the man he did not know. He wandered'
alone in his magnificent peak, and then,
th row i ng himself on a grassy'
pondered on the great fast mayo r al:id the
necessity of religion. at will send Mary
Ann a handsome present," said Lothaw
thoughtfully.
CHAPTER. VII,
• " Each of these pearls, my lord, is Werth
fifty thousand guineas," said Mr. Ame
thyst, the fashionable jeweler, as he light'
ly lifted a large shovelful from a conveai
eut bin behind his counter.
"Indeed," said Lothaw, carelessly, "I
should prefer to see some expensive ones."
"Some number sixes, I suppose," said
Mr. Amethyst, taking a couple from the
apex of a small iryramid that lay piled
on p the shelf. "These aro about the size
of the Duchess of Billingsgate's, but they
are in a finer condition. The fact is, her
grace permits her two children, the Mar
quis of Smithfield and the Duke of -St.
Giles, two sweet, pretty boys, my lord, to
use them as marbles in their games.
Pearls require some attention, and I go
down there regularly twice a week to
clean them. Perhaps your lordship would
like some ropes of pearls?"
" About half a cable's length," said Lio
thaw, shortly, "and send them to my
lodgings."
Mr. Amethyst became thoughtful. "I
am afraid I have not the exact number—
that is—excuse me one moment. I will
run oyer to the tower and borrow a few
from the crown jewels." And before Lo
thaw could prevent him he seized his hat
and left Lothaw alone.
His position certainly was embarrassing.
He could not move without stepping on
costly gems which had rolled from the
counter ; the rarest diamonds lay scatter
ed on the shelves; untold fortunes in
priceless emerals lay within his grasp.
Although such was the aristocratic parity
of his blood and the strength of his re
ligions convictions that he probably
would not have pocketed a single dia
mond, still he could not help thinking
that he might be accused of taking , some.
"You can search me, if yon like," he said,
when Mr. Amethyst returned, "but I as
sure, upon the honor of a gentleman, that
I have taken nothing."
"Enough, my lord," said Mr. Amethyst,
with a low bow, "we never search the
aristocracy."
CIRPTER VIIL
As Lothaw left Mr. Amethyst's, he ran
against General Camperdown. "How is
Mary Ann r he asked.
" I regret to state that she is dying,"
said the general, with a grave voice, as be
removed his cigar from his lips, and lifted
his hat to Lothaw.
"Dying," said Lothaw, incredulously.
"Alas, too true," replied the general.
"The engagements or a long kenning
season, exposure in traveling by railway
during the winter, and the imperfect
nourishment afforded by the refreshments
along the road, have told on her delicate
frame, but she wants to see you before
she dies. Here is the key of my lodging.

Lothaw hardly recognized those wasted
Hellenic outlines as he entered the dimly
lighted room of the dying woman. She
was already a classic ruin—as wrecked
and yet as perfect as the Parthenom. He
grasped her hand silently.
Open err speaking twice a week, and
selenans bread in the rural districts, have
brought me to this," she said feebly; "but
it is well. The cause progresses. The
tyrant man succumbs:"
Lothaw could only press fier hand.
" Promise me one thing. Don't what
ever von do—become a Catholic."
" Why ?"
"The church does not recognize divorce.
And now embrace me. I would prefer at
this supreme moment to introduce myself
to the next world through the medium of
the best society in this. Good by. When
I am dead be good enough• to inform• my
husband of the fact."

Lothaw spent his next six months on
an Aryan island, in the Aryan climate,
and with an hryan race.
"This is an Aryan landscape," said his
host, "and that is a Mary Ann statue."
It was, in fact, a full-length figure in
marble of Mrs, General Camperdown.
" If you' please, I should like to become
a pagan," said Lothaw, one day, listening
to an impassioned discourse on Greek art
from the lips of his host.
But that night, on consulting a well
known spiritual medium, Lotimw received
a message from the late Igrs. General
Camperdown, advising bier to 'tiara to
England. Two days later he presented
himself at Plusham:
"The young ladies art in the garden,"
said the duchess. "Don't you want to go
and pick a rose?" she added with a graci
ous smile,and the nearest approach to a
wink that wo consistent with her patrici
an bearing aquiline nose.
Lothaw went and presently returned
with the blushing Coriander upon his
arm.
" Bless you ivy, children," said the
duchess. Then tterning to Lotlmw, she
said, "You have simply fufilled and ac
cepted your inevitable destiny. It was
morallyimpossible for you• to mtirry out
of this family. .For the present the
church of England is safe."

The autumn of 1829 found him &shab
by, almost ragged applicant for employ
ment at the stage-door of the Opera Com-
Nue. 'Repeatedly rebuts tailed to ink&
his desperate pertinacity.
One day the director, hearing of the
annoyance to which his enbordinateswere
subjected by Delsarte, determined to abate
the nuisance by one of those crneLcoups
de-vtain of which Frenchmen are pre-em
inently capable. The next night, during
the performance, when Delsarte called, he
was, to his surprise end delight, abown in
to the great man's presence.
"Wei, sir, what do you want ?"
"Pardon, Monsieur. I came to seek a
place at your theatre."
"There is but one vacant, and you don't
seem capab le of filling that. I want only
a call-boy.
"Sir, Yam pm red to fill the position
of a prerhier strict among your singers."

"Monsieur, if my clothes are poor, my

"Well, sir, if you will eing for me, I will

ge left Delsarte alone, overjoyed et
having secured the manager's ear. In a
few momenta a Barely fellow told him he
was wanted tickler, and he soon found
himself with the manager upon the stage
behind the green curtain.
"Yon are to sing here," said the di
rector. "There is your piano. In one
moment the curtain will be rung up. I
am tired of your importunities. I give
you one chance to show the stuff you're
made of. If you discard this opportuni
ty, the next time you show yottt face at
my door you shall be arrested and impris
oned as a vagrant."
The indignation excited in Delsarte by
this cruel trick instantly gave way before
the reflection that success was a-matter of
life and death with him, and that perhaps
his last chance lay within his grasp. He
forgot his rags; every nerve became iron;
and when the curtain was rung up, a beg
gar with the bearing of a prince advanc
ed to the foot-lights, was received with de
risive laughter by some, with glances of
surprise and indignation by others, and,
with a sad and patient smile on his coun
tenance, gracefully saluted the brilliant
audience. The courtliness of his manner
disarmed hostility; but when be sat
down to the piano, ran his fingers over '
the keys, and sang a few bars, the exquis
ite voice found its way to every liniut.
With every moment his voice became
more powerful. Each gradation of emo
tion was rendered with an ease, an elf, an
expression, that made every heartstring
vibrates Then he suddenly stopped,
bowed, and retired. The house rang with
bravos. The dress circle forgot its reti
cence, and joined in the tumult of ap
plause. lie was recalled. This. time he
sang a grand lyric composition with the
full volume of his voice, aided in afFect by
those imperial gestures of which he had
already discovered the secret. The aud
ience were electrified. They declared that
Tabun was resuscitated. But when he
was a second time recalled his tragic mood
had melted, there were "tears in his voice"
as well as on his cheeks..
After the fall of the curtains, the direc
tor grasped his hand, loaded him with
compliments, and offered him an engage
ment for a year at a salary of ten thous

Br.auty and Rain Water.
Dianna of Ponders, Duchess of Valen

of beauties, yet strange ta say, no histori
an has ever given details of those won
drous charms which captivated two kings
one of them fifteen years her junior ni
age. We do not evew knelt whether her
eyes were blue or black, whether her hair
was light or dark; we only know that she
was this loveliest woman at Court of love
ly women, and that at an age when most
women are shriveletil specimens of ugli
ness.. People said that she
. possessed
secret that rendered her thus imperious to
the ravages of time Son* , went so far as
to say in that superstitions age that she
had bought her secret from a very dark
gentleman indeed I What was this secret
then ? Did she ever tell it ? Never. Did
any one ever know if? Yes, hay perfum

her life. It is known their? Is it, for
those who have the patience to wade thro'
musty manusript and books. May we
not know it? You will only smile and
