Yes, I shall be there I hope it won't be a rush." Rupart Thornbnry smiled as he looked down at the speaker. Something had evidently put her out. "Are you often viciously disposed, Mrs. Kathlane ? It is news to me,' "I wish you would not call me that, Rupert- Mrs. Kattilane . You do it on purpose, and I don't like it? The last words were spoken like a pet ulant 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 incomprehensible 'fancy work.' A very beautiful face it was, and a very beautiful woman was little Mrs. Kath. lane ; anu no one in the wide world was more thoroughly convinced of this 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 , tn wear the colors she did--often in defiant* of ordinary rides. She wore, this morning, a deep royal purple dress, with purple bands in her dark hair,andlooked charm ing, Her hair (lopped over her forehead in !•:,.;!. , •18 waves, and was fastened be hind r.Ci a high golden comb. Her face WAS almost marvellous in its perfect form and brilliant coloring ; and her great dark eyes, with their long lashes, were enough of themselves to turn au ordinary man's head. "I don't like it," said she. again, giant.- ing at her companion,Who was abstractly tangling the bright wools, apparently lust in thought, "and I shall be seriously angry with you if you presist in being so formal, For it is formal, after von have known me since I was a little child, to speak as though we were strangers." "I'll not call you so again, 'Millicent. Only—" Mr, Thornbury paused. "Only what ?" returned the imperious little lady, giving him another searching glance. "Things have changed a great deal since you were a child, Millicent. Yon are a woman now, wealthy, courted, flat• tered; and I—but it is no good talking of these things. I must be going.-W ill you promise me the first waltz to-night?' "Certainly. I hope you appreciate my kindness. I waltz very rarely you know." Amos lizonov, MONTROSE, PA., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 5, 1874. "I do appreciate it; and now I must go down to that "stupid old office," as you call it, and make up for lost time. Good morning, ; don't forget your promise," and then he was gone. Gone, and unconscious, as he walked swiftly down the street, that Millicent Kathlane's dark eyes were looking after him, and that when turned back to her work, a soft sigh fluttered from her beau tiful lips and a shadow clouded her beau tiful face. He had. known her, as die said. since she was it little child ; and he a strong rude lad. had loved the flower-faced little Millicent dearly ; and when. at the age of eighteen, he had been sent away from home to qualify himself for he work of it Was wail deb rininution to return after years had passed, lead claim her.

He was an honorable man, and crushing his o wn lo art back, he took his lather's burdens on his strong young shoulders, and hire them bravely. Only one-- he haltered. and that was when,after scarcely six years had passed since he I first went into the w ,rid. news came to him that Millicent, "hie little Milly," was married. It was her father's wieh,thazos sips ..aid. Mr. Kathlane, the suitor, was immensely wenitoy, and, haying been fascinated by Millicent's beauty, her pa rentsl had used all then influence with I her, and the end was she married. Mil licent, now Mrs. liathlane, went away ta her husband's home, and Rupert bury wont on with his duel, distastful la bor, with not the old I) ,, yish dream to iinghten his task, Six more years passed dowly by, mak ing many changes in the affairs of both. Mr. Kathlune died suddenly arter two or three years married life, and Millicent went abroad with some friends. She had been back nearly a year now, and had settled down to it town life. Da ring this period the old childish ftiend ship of Rupert Thornbury had beer. warmly rein-wed, and Rupert had discov ered that, charming as She was in her childhood and girlhood. now that she was a woman she was nitinltely more so. During this year life had grown a deal brighter to Mr. Thornbury ; he was pros pering slowly and steadily, and had gain ed many friends. Anxious mammas look ed upon hint with fuvorand many bright eyes gave him bewitching glances—hith erto in vain.

She was dressed in trailing robe,silvery blue, with an overdress of soft white lace; her beautiful neck and arms were hare. save for their ornaments of fretted gold ; her face wits untouched by paint or pow. der, and-her vivid coloring seemed almost unearthly as compared with some of the inane faces around her. 11--r black hair, elaborately dresseu, was lastened here and there with drooping sprays, looping her overdress, and in her jewelry hogneriere, the scarlet buds glowed and burned. she not lovely r That was a ques tion that everybody felt could be an swered but in the affirmative. And many au envious heart was hidden under the smiling faces which greeted her. "There is Mrs. Kathlane, Mr. Thorn burr." said Cornelia Granger, a tall, pale. ill-natured girl. to whom Rnpert had been Baying civil nothings for the last kw minutes, who was furiously jealous of Mm. liathlane in her heart of hearts. "YOn gentlemen are wild about her. I be lieve. Red and blue—whist excruciating taste ! 1 wonder her maid does not teach her better." "Every one has your critical eves, Miss Granger," said Rupart laughing. "I thought her dress charming." "Of course," Miss Cornelia was not an amiable girl, us we have said, and at that moment her temper was pinching her rather sourly, "Perhaps you make one' of those who are wild over her, Mr. Thornbury ?" "It would be of no use to me. I expect if I were," replied Rupert, in his candor. "Well, I suppose , not—as she is soon to be matt ied "Married again "'he uttered. "So report runs," said Miss Granger, toying with her fan. "To whom ? I had not heard of it." "To Mr. Worthington ; a cousin, of her former husband, you know." "I know him," cried RuArt, feeling he knew not how. "Dick Worthington's not worthy of her. It would be desert tion." "She may not think so. It was said there was a great deal of intimacy before Mr. Kathlaue died. She married him simply for his money—that's well known —and the cousin used to be a fr ! equent visitor. There was a deal of gossip about it at the time, but—there's Dick NVorth ington now,'"' Look how her color rises when she speaks to him." "Are you quite certain your informa tion is correct, Miss Granger ?" The pale eyes glanced at him and then looked away. "About the etignement ? Quite sure Mr. Thornbury. At least, the world is sure of it, I am neither more nor less wise than it." Mr. Thornbury did not change color at the news, or seem, in reply, to feel much surprised ; he stood laughing and Devoted to the Interests of our Town and County chatting with the young lady for a few I The Nevada Fashlou Reporter. moments on differeut subjects, and then 1 —o— excusing himself, sauntered across the 1 How HE LAVED AND DIED.

Fanned by delicious odors Irons the sahib, And crowned with lig!lt, the lovely Rosebud grew A Sunbeam came and kissed her ruddy mouth. Chasing away the diamond drops of dew ! She hung her head, whereon a wreath of green Meekly adorned her fair and faultless face! The kingly Sunbeam hailed her for his queen, And feasted on the banquet of her grace I All day his kisses pressed her fragrant mouth, While round them sang the birds unceasingly All day the winds wereblowing froni the south, And lillies murmured underneath the tree! No clouds obscured her lover from her view— The sky above Was ono broad dome of blue The butterflie s , with gorgeous silken wings, Came near the Rose on her bridal morn: The music of a thousand mystic things, Like wedding bells, upon the air was borne I A white convolvulus had climbed the tree And close it preened behind the blushing bride! Around them gaily bummed the velvet bee— On opening buds that bloomed on every side ! A veil of splendor o'er the Rose was thrown I The linnet sang: "Tbe bridal hour has come!" And so the Sunbeam made the Rose his own ! And Love. immortal Love, made glad their home I Her ruby leaves unclosed fur very bliss. And heavenward lifted up her lace to his ! THEATRES IS SHAKESPEARE'S TM& There were already seventy theatres in Lon don in Shakespeare's time, so brisk and univcr sal was the taste for dramatic representations great and rude contrivances, awkward in their construction, barbarous in their appointments ; but a fervid imagination readily - supplied what they lacked, arid hardy bodies endured all In conveniences without difficulty, On a dirty site, On the banks of the Thames, rose the'prin- cipal theatre, the Globe, a sort of hexagonal tower, surrounded by a muddy ditch, on which was hoisted a red flag. The common people could enter as well as the rich ; there was six- penny, twopenny, even Denny seats, but they could not set it without money. if it rained, as it often rained In London. the people in the pit—butchers, mercers, bakers. sailors, appren tietz—reeeived the streaming rain npon their beads. I suppose they did not trouble them selves about it ; it was not so long since they began to pave the streets of London ; and when men like these have had experience of sewers and pudilles,they are not afraid of catch• ins cold, While they are waiting for the piece they amuse themselves after tueir fashion, drink beer crack nuts, eat fruit, howl, and, now and then, resort to their fists ; they have been known to fall upon the actors, and turn the theatre up side down. At other times they were dissatis fied, and went to the tavern to give the poet a hiding, or toss him in a blanket ; they were coarse fellows, and there was no month when the cry of "Clubs" did not call them out of their shops to exercise their brawny arms.— When the beer took effect there was a great up turned barrel In the pit, a peculiar receptacle for general ase. The smell rises ; then comes the.cry, "Burn the juniper r They barn some in a plate on the stage, and the heavy smoke fills the air. Certainly the folks there assem bled could scarcely get disgusted at 'anything, and cnnnot have had noses. to aloc thou or ltabelais there was not much cleanliness to speak of. Remember that they were hardly tint of the middle age, and that in the middle see man lived on a. dunghill. Above them, on the stage were the spectators able to pay a shilling, the elegant people, the gentle folks. These were sheltered from the rain,and, if they chose to pay an extra shilling, could have a stool. To this were reduced the pre rogatives of rank and the devices of comfort. It often happened that there were not stools enough ; then they lie down on the ground.— This was not a time to be dainty. They play cards, smoke, Insult the pit, who gave it them back without stinting, and throw . apples at them into the bargain. They also gesticulate, swear at them in Italian, French, and English; crack aloud jokes in dainty, composite, high colored words ; in short, they have the ener getic, original, gay manners of artists, the same humor, the same absence of constraint, and, to compleie the resemblance, the same desire to name themselves singular, the same imagina tive cravings, the same absurd and picturesque devices—beards cut to a point, into the shape of a fan, a spade, the letter T ; gaudy and ex pensive dreases,eopied from five or six different stations, embroidered, laced with gold, motley, continually heightened In effect, or changed for others—there was as it were, a carnival on their brains as well as on their backs.—Taine's History of English Literature. A TEN-THOUSAXD DOLLAR GIRL On a certain day, on a Pennsylvania railroad, a belle of a thriving Pennsylvania town, the daughter of a wealthy lumber merchant, was traveling in the same car with a shrewd old cit• Izen of her native town and an agreeable young gentleman from the West who tells the arory, The latter bad been talking to the belle ; but as eight drew on and the!!froung lady grew drowsy, he gave up his seat ' - to her and placed himself beside the somowbat cynical Pennsyl-; vanian. The latter began conversation by pointing to ft high mountain past which they were whirling. and mid "You see that mountain ? Six or eight years ago it NMI covered with as fine a forest as ever grew, and was wor.ht 11.10,030 and upward.— Now, without a tree, Layered with stumps, the land is scarcely worth a continental. The net produce of that mountain lies over there in that 'seat," and. he pointed to the recumbent belle ; '•that is my calculation. It has just absorbed all of that lumber, which her rather owned, to raise and educate the girl, pay for her clothes and jewelry,bring her out In society and main tain her there. Boma of you young men, If you were given your choice between the moun tain yonder as it now stands and the net pro duce On that seat, would take the net produce ; but as for me, give me the stumps. `Mew's DarEsixermu.—Man relies far more than he is aware for comfort and happiness on woman's tact and management.

They are so delicately concealed, and yet so ceaselessly exercised, that ho enjoys their effect as he enjoys the light and atmos phere. He seldom thinks how it would he with him were they withdrawn.

Young housekeepers do not always under stand the theory of the chemical and mechani cal action of different substances on articles of furniture. The substances from which fur niture is chiefly exposed to injury are water, oils, alcohols, and acids. Acids act on 31arble. Marble te Itself com posed of carbonate of Iron; that Is. it Is a com pound of carbonic add and lime. Now, the carbonic acid has a comparatively weak affini ty fur lime, and most other acids will prevail over it, and take its place when brought in con• with it,thus destroying the texture of the stone liberating the =inmate acid, and leaving ni• tratare of limo, or mariate of lime, or sulphate or acetate of lime, as the case may be, In the form of a white powder,-in Its place. Bat oils, alcohols, and water produce no effect on mar ble. Am varnished or polished surfaces of wood, on the other hand, while not injured usually by acids, are attacked by alcohol. Varnishes are composed of different gums and resins, which are generally soluble In alcohol. Many of them are made by dissolving the materials in alcohol so as to liquify them ; and then, when they are applied, the alcohol evaporates, leaving the gum or resin in a thin, even coating over the surface. If, now, any alcohol substance comes upon such a surfbee, whether it be alcohol !W U' as used for lamps, or spirits of any kind, or ev en wine, which contains but a small percentage of alcohol, a portion of it is dissolved, and the brilliancy of the surface is destroyed. Oils will not attack either marble or varnish ed surfaces, and will do no injury except to naked woßd, or other porous substances, which admit them into the pores, from which they cannot aiterWards be easily expelled. Water effects no substances except such as have open pores—in which case It enters, and causes the substance to swell ; or such as are soluble In water, as glue In Joints, and mucilage or gum Arabic, used sometimes for attaching ornaments to fancy work. THE DANGERS OF EAR-RINGS An Inquest held at Liverpool the other day on the body of a little girl, aged eight years, the daughter of a sailor, conveys a lessen with regard to ear-rings,which is, at all tvents,worth the attention of woman, it she can divert her thoughts for a moment from the pursuit of her rights. The unfortunate child, whose death formed the subject of inquiry, about three weeks ago underwent the operation of having her ears pierced with a stocking-needle. After the eats were pierced, two ear-rings belonging to her mother were put In them. A few days later a blister came behind one ear ; then the jaw began to swell ; worse symptoms ensued, and on Saturday last the child died. The med ical evidence was to the effect that death had resulted from exhaustion consequent upon the intense inflamation caused by the piercing of the ears, and the jury returned the verdict ac- cordingly. Ot course, if women choose to have their ears pierced, it would be Imperti nence on the part of man to remonstrate against the self-infficted torture ; but there can be no harm in suggesting that. children might be allowed to reach years of discretion before they are called upon to follow the example of their elders and betters in this respect. It is, however, only fair on woman to admit that ehe did not invent the practice of car-plercing.— According to the Mohammedans, Abraham be gan it. In one of Sarah's jealous Ms respect ing !lager she declared that she would not rest until she bad dipped her hands in Ila,gar's blood. In order to quiet Sarah and enable her to redeem her promise without further upset ting her household, Abraham pierced ifagar's ears and drew rings through them. From that time ear-rings became the fashion. TIDAL WAVES. The following Interesting Information relative to tidal waves Is given by Professor Van der Weyde. Tidal waves are the only manifesta tion of the attraction of sun and moon on the surface of the earth. If the earth were entirely surried by the ocean the solar tidal wave would eel round the whole earth In twenty four hours, which Is a velocity 14000 mike net hour. The lunar wave would trove round the earth in twenty-five hours, at a velocity of 800 miles per hour. As, however, the continents aro everywhere interposed except round the South Pole, it is only there that this wave mo tion takes place. and from this region it is pro pagated northward into the Indian Ocean and in the Atlantic, where it attains Its greatest magnitude. It propagates from Van Diemen's Land in twelve hours to the coast of Elindostan and in another twelve hours from the Gape or Good Rope to Senegal. Twelve hours latex it has reached the coast of Great Britian, and, turning round Scotland, reaches Norway 'and Denmark, to an opposite direction—namely, jfrom west to east. - ,lta velocity of propagation depends on the depth of the ocean. It is only when the deittlt exceeds, 0,000 fathoms that the velocity is es great as the revolution of the earth. At %depth. Of 1,000 fathoms it travels with the velocity of 250 miles on hour, and when- the depth is 100 fathoms the velocity is 100 miles. At 20 fhth oms it is 80 miles, 10 fathoms 22 miles, and 1 fathom ft miles. This law, which was diserme ered by Russell, Is so reliable that it hail been possible to determine the &gab of the ocean by the velocity of the third wave. IM=1:1 It is a weakness of some good men to .peals of man as miserable rather than guilty. Indeed it becomes one who has obtained mercy to pity rather than condemn.
