How fair was hi. chu.cn flower,

Where .be stood on that happy nighl :

And a wreath ol undying tiower.

I.OVE OB PRlItKT
CHAPTER I.
Great purple shades swept across
the bay fields. Tbe distant landscape
was becoming indistinct, sod the
moon was slowly rising in tbe bear
ens. After awhile tbe twilight deep
ened into as much of darknes3 as
there would be in the summer night,
and eileoce fell upon tbe earth.
Tben a girl stole noiselessly across a
small garden, and stood beside a gate
that led into tbe adjoining church
yard. A yew tree spread its branch
es above ber ; but tbe silver tints
that were planting down upon tbe
gravestones, and that were bringing
out tbe delicate lines . of tbe old
cburcb-pires, touched also ber white
face, waking u whiter tban usual.
Sbe did not start as a tall figure ap
proached from tbe further side of the
churchyard. She bad evidently
been expecting some one ; and when
sho heard the words :
"Yru are out late, Miss Jervis,"
bhe quietly answered :
'1 was waiting for you. I wanted
to say 'Good-bye !' to you btf rc you
went away."
' I thought you had doue that al
ready," replied the young man with
some bitterness.
"Not quite," returned tbe girl,
wearily. "You were too angry for
me to say it as 1 wished."
"Had I not a right to be so ?" he
atked. "Ever since I have been at
Sholford you have been deceiving
ma. I believed you to bs in earnest
as I was myself ; and now " he
paused.
"Aud now?" Her oice had a
sharp ring in it, as she repeated his
words, as though she would give de
nial to what be bad said; but her
face looked like stone, in the moon
light white and immovable and
the continued : "I did not under
stand that you could really be in
earned; otherwise I might have told
you before what I have told vou to
day." "You did not believe in me. You
looke I upon me as a heartless as a
deceiver. You do not believe me
now."
"I do."
"What do ycu believe?" be afked,
impetuously. "Nothing good, or
you would not have given ineihe an
swer you have."
"Everything good, except the
knowing what is good for yourself
I waut you now to tay '(Sood-bye!'
to me without anger in your heart.
Tbe day will come when you will,
perhaps, Lless me for what I have
had courage to do to-day." And the
held out her hand.
The young man hesitated.
"Is there no hope V
"None !"
Her voice rang low aud clear
through the tumuier air. Again he
hesitated ; then, suddenly taking
both her hands in his, ho bent down
and kissed her for tbe first lime. She
gare a taint irv, and disengaged her
self. "We part in peace." With these
words sbe turned and fled not look
ing back, or perhaps sbe might have
repented her decision. Once in tbe
houi-e, the sat down in the empty
sitting-room, made light as day by
the moonbeams. Tbe old dog rose
as bbe came in, and when she threw
herself into a chair he laid his head
in ber lap. There came a sound of
J clattering plates in tbe kitchen, on
I the opposite side of the passage, and
ber mutter s voice sounded snarply,
giving her directions about supper,
presently tbe entered.
"Where have you ucen, Ally ?
How ill you look! And you're all
shivering. Come into the kitcben,
child. Annie's gone off to bed, and
there's a bit ui 6:o in the grate.
It might be winter instead of midsum
mer, to feel your bands."
Alice rose mechanically. Sbe
walked dreamily iuto the kitchen,
where bur mother drew a chair to
the fire for ber.- Presently a rnddy,
good-humored looking youth entered,
Baying:
"Let me have my supper here,
mother. Tbe fire looks pleasant,
luougn it is summer time.
When she went to her own room.
instead cf undressing, she.
the window and gazed out toward
tbe yew tree under which she had
parted with Mr. Scrope; and then
suddenly untwisting her long hair,
sha tu-ned to the looking glass, not
with any feeling of vanity, -but in
order to find out what bad attracted
him.
It was more tban a handsome face
that answered back her gaze, one
which showed an amount of earnest
ness and intelligence not often met
with. Of this she was no judge her
self, neither of the conlinnal change
of expression which Mr. Scrope had
begun by curiously observing, and
ended by being thorougly interested in
He was passing the long vacation at
Sbelford, reading and fishing. He
had made tbe acquaintance of Will
iam Jervis on the banks of tbe river,
and through whom it was a conde
scension oa the part of Mr. Scrope to
notice of 4'Le herself.
Alice, perhaps, understood the
fooling on which they stood better
than ber brother; and the innate pride
in her natnre caused her to accept it
R(fi1

PA.; WEDNESDAY,
with reservation. She felt tbe gulf
b;tmeen tberja, and measured it bv
tbe world's standard. Therefore,
when Mr, Scrope made bis somewhat
stt riling vffer, sbe, io spite cf her
surprise, was not unprepared with an
answer. Aud now '.hat sbe had
given it, she asked herself if she had
done right
Mr. Scrope was an only 6on A
brilliant future was before him. A
world of which she was nothing,
was familiar to bim. Could sbe, who
was accustomed to the littleness in
cident to circumstances somewhat
tbove actaai poverty, move with
propriety in circles accustomed t3
every luxury ? Would lis relative?,
so far above her, accept ber and her
bclongineg'? She answered "Xo."
Mr. Scrope bad argued what matter,
since it rested with him to give her
place and 4 position in tbe world as
his wife. Bat that, sbe knew, would
be a separation from him for al former
associations; and her own unfitness
to move in her lover's sphere would
make her a clog upon the life of him
to whom, before she knew Lr, she had
given ber, heart. Such bad been
the train of argument sbe bad pur
sued. She 1ad struggled free from
the prospect open to ber not with
out pain and had dismissed it as a
dream of beanty that had naught to
do with waking hour3. And now
but it was over.
Tbe morning rose and she went
about ber tasks as usual perhaps
even more energetically, since sbe
needed an outlet for her pentup feel
ings.. Mingled with pain there came

possessed it-nay! perhaps to possess

world, in which, however, sbe must
always be alone, since all that had
passed roust forever remain her own
special secret
C HAPTER II.
Mr. Scrope went abroad, and after
a time bo returned home to begin his
career.
Alice Jervia pursued her honiel
and monotonous life. Sbe grew
quieter and graver and worked more
diligentlr. Sbe believed she bad de
cided rightly as regarded Mr. Scrope's
happiness; and the sacrifice she bad
made for bis sake made ber feel tbat
she had a right to be interested in
him. She lived in tbe excitement of
seeing his name in tbe papers, and
in gaining every particular of him
within hfr grasp. Sbe smiled when
she read his name among the pre
sentations at court, or noted his
presence at court balls. At such
times sbelooJ:ed down at her shab
by dress and poor eppointments sur
rounding heraud wondered what
sort of an appearance sbe would
have made under other circumstan
ces. At length sbe saw another an
nouncement. Mr. Scrope was goiog
to be married ! Sbe turned pale, and
put down the paper. And yet sbe
expected this announcement had
looked for it day after day. Never
theless she felt a strange pang,
which as long as be was unmarried
sbe had escaped.
Down by the river, where the water-flags
hoisted their yellow stand
ards among tbe reeds, aud where the
forget-me-nots blossomed along tbe
banks, she sauntered, listening to
the murmuring waters, whose burden
was "Past! past! past !" Even Ho
ver appeared to understand it, for he
looked up mournfully into ber face
and whined. Tben tbe gray bars of
clouds spread across tbe setting sun,
and blotted out tbe sunlight ; but
still Alice paced up and down under
tbe pollard willows, until tbe even
ing was far advanced. Night was
setting in around her. Tbe light of
life was over. Sbe had scarcely re
alized until the preseut moment Dow
persistently Mr. Scrope had been in
her every thought.
Tbe morning after reading tbe
news in the papers another very
startling piece cf information came
to ber. Sbe was an heiress ! By
one of those strange chances, in life
that are so common now-a days, her
mother's brother, beginning life as an
artisan, had amassed a princely for
tune. And cow at his death be had
left it between Alice Jervis and her
brother. Alice Jervis sat down and
wept bitterly. To her it bad come
as a mockery. Her lot in life was
cast, and what did she want of mon
ey now? In due time she read of
tbe marriage itself. She cut it out
of the paper; and placed it in her
pocket bock. It was all over.
Three years slipped away. Three
travelers entered a hotel in a little
foreign town. The youngest of the
women was Alice Jervis, now a
beautiful woman, a little past her
first youth, but whom one knew in a
moment in spite of tbe improvement
tbat bad taken place. Her brother
wai with ber, but te was scarcely to
be recognized. A tutor and three
years cf foreign life bad caused a
wonderful trausformation. The el
derly lady, Mrs. Jervis, was not
much altered, except that her dress
was as handsome as her heart could
desire. They took tbeir places at
the table d'hote, and exactly opposite
to tbem sat a lady and gentleman.
The latter looked wearied, and his
short black moustache twitched with
openetiwfie curvings of the relentless mouth
beneatnit. loelaaywas lair, tasn
ionable and vivacious.
Alice Jervis started. She would
have moved; but William Jervis, all
ignorant of past events, had exclaim
ed : "Mr. Scrope."
Mr. Scrope looked across, wonder
ing at the friendly recognition from
an apparent stranger. Then his eyes
fell upon Alice, and be started, but,
quickly recovering himself, be bow
ed saying:
"Pardon me if at first I did not re
member you."
Mrs. Scrope had turned io delight
toward William Jervis. -'The first
English voice, excepting my hus
band's, tbat I've heard in three
weeks. 1 do not understand Italian,
and had consequently bad no one to
talk to but Mr. Scrope. Can you
imagine any thing more dreadful ?"
Then, turning to ber husband, she
said: "ioumust introduce me to
your English friends."
"Mrs. Scrope Mr. and Miss Jer
vis," said Mr. Scrope, his look rivited
on Alice.

about through ber striving alter an

Sailing tbe pulses tbat throbbed so

as with an old acquaintance: and yet
tbe remembrance of their parting on

something paradoxical in tbe idea,

that if Mr. Scrope had really cared
for herself, to care much for Mrs.
Scrope was impossible.

and that sbe was thero waitiog for
Mr. Scrope. She was turning away,
when a dark figure approached her,
and a well-remembered voice said:
"Mid3 Jervis!"
"Mr. Scrope !"
"Yes I was waiting fit you. 1
wished to see you before you go
away."
Almost her own words at their last
interview."'
She looked at him half fearfully.
It was so strange to see bim there at
that hour of tbe night, and an al
most ruperstiiious awe rame over
her.
"I wanted to tell you that you
have ruined my life so far. I heard
that you were at Sbelford. I knew
tbat you would be here to-night. I
have come to a?k you if you repent
the past, and are willing to atone for
it?"
Alice shrank back.
"Mr. Scrcpe!" was all that she
could say.
"The inferiority, if there be auy,
is on my side," he said. "You have
improved the past. 1 have wasted
it. Yet the wasting of it I lay to
your charge. I knew you better
than you knew yourself. I wanted
a wife wbo would understand me,
and would give me sympathy. You
could have done this, and you refus
ed. Will you refuse it now ?"
Bewildered, and yet indignant,
Alice shraak further away from
him.
"Mr. Scrope," she said, "I bid you
go back to your wif.;. I bid you re
pair the brilliant prospects you seem
so wrongly to have married."
"I wL(d I could," he answered,
sorrowfully. "My wife W dead, Al
ice, or I should not be here to night.
She died two years ago. You are hard
and unjust, as you have always
been."
"Dead !" stammered Alice. "How
could I know ? I have bnt returned
to England." She moved nearer to
him, and held out ber band: "For

Their eyes me!; and Mr. Scrope,
looking down into hers, stooped and
kissed the quivering lips for tbe sec
ond time in bis life.

Tbe world would be a dull place

No one is so famous as tbe voung
poet of sixteen, who has just written
his first halting verse and mails it to
tbe magazine. In the distance he sees
himself bowing thanks for the ap
plause of millions. Ia tbe future he
writes the greatest volume of the age;
and women adore him.
Who has ever loved as tbe unknown
lover of tbe day dream loves ber?
Even constant, ever true, ever brave,
noble and the handsomest of all men.

never would love again, should he

Ob, the youth's lady love is the
fairest rose in all the garden, yet one
no other has ever sought to win.
The wife of one who never marries
is a perfect creature. Tbe husband
of one who keeps her maiden dreams
unbroken loves and cherishes, and is
never careless or forgetful. And, oh.

Never a home like tbe home we

ever be realized.
A woman need not always recall

Cat Hotline
A young man in West Thirty
fifih street, New Ycrk, ho lately
introduced cat C-hiog as a manly
and benelieieat sport can scarcely be
said to have devi.-ed an absolute
specific fjr cats, but he has unquest
ionably contributed to lessen the
number of cats in his immediate vi
cinity. To the end of a strong blue
fish line he affixed a salmon hock,
baited with delicate morsels of mea.
At first, this hook, deftly drooped
line would usually nx tbe book in
the cat's mouth, and the angler
would haul in his prey and knock it
on the head. The young man be
came "really fascinated with his new
occupation, and having effected an
arrangement with a popular French
restaurant, was enabled to dispose of
bis game easily and profitably. Oa

at the so-called outrage which had

Anecdote of Peter tbe (.real.
Peter cf Kussia, or Peter the
(Jreat, as he is commonly called, was
a man of remarkable qualities of

was still kind and considerate to
those who deserved encouragement.
One day a young recruit was stand
ing guard before the door cf tbe en
trance to Peter's private chambers
in the palace of St. Petersburg. lie
bad received orders to admit no one.
As he was parsing slowly up and
down before the door, Prince Mentch
ikoff, tbe favorite minister of the
Cut, approached, attempting to en
ter, lie was ttopped by tbe recruit.
The Prince, who had the fullest lib
erty of calling upon bis master at
any lime, sought to push the guard
and pass him, yet the young man
would not move, but ordered his
highness to stand back.
"Vou fool!'' shouted
"don't you know me?"
the Prince,
Tbe recruit smiled and said:
"Very well, your highness, but my
orders are peremptory to let nobody
pass."
The Prince, exasperated at the
low fellow's impudence, struck him
a blow iu the face with his ridiog
whip.
"Strike away, your highness," said
the soldier, "but I cannot let you go
in ?"
"Peter, in the room, hearing the
noise outside, opened the door and
inquired what it meant, and the
Prince told him. Tbe Czar was
amused, but said nothing at the
time. In the evening, however, he
sent for the Prince and the soldier.
As they both appeared, Peter gave
bis own cane to the soldiar, saying
"Thot man struck you in the
morning, now you must return the
blow to that fellow with my stick."
The Prince was amazed. "Your
majesty," he said, "this common sol
dier is to strike me ?"
' I make him a captain," said Pe
ter. "But I'm an oflietr of your majes
ty's household," objected the Prince.
"I make him a Colonel of my Life
Uuards and an officer of the house
hold," said Peter again.
"My rank, your majesty knows, is
that of General," again protested
MentchikofT.
' Then I make him a General, so
that the beating you gt may come
from a man cf roar rank."
The Prince got a sonnd thrashing
in the presence of the Czar, tbe re
cruit was next day commissioned a
General, with the "title of Count Or
dinoff, and was the founder of a pow
erful family whose descendants are
still high in the imperial service of
