One by one the dreary places

One by one Ood'i finger traces
Moons and stare upon the night.
One by one are rent and riven
All Lho links of hell's hot gyves,
One by one the chords of heaven
Gently, strongly tlesp our lives ;
One by one earth's bitter weanings
Leave ns nearer to the skies.

Break like sunlight on oar eyes.
O, the weary months of sorrow !

THE LADY IN THE BI.I'E II AT.
A PARISIAN t OMEliY OF ERRORS
Tbe Marquii de V. has an income
of 200,000 l-anea a year. Jlecce the
sua does not rite iu his anartniuLts
ontil 11 o'cli-tk. II i valet superiu
tends tbe brutLing of bis niss-.tr'ti
cloiheft with orje eye, and reads tbe
moruiujr papers with tbe other. The
bell of tbe cuter door mo, asd tbe
vslet, after tbe be II ba? rucg two or
three time?, and be ba.s beard tbe
voice ot one of bin nwo r' Irieade
outnide, finally cocseuts to g-i end
open it.
"I have been making a racket bere
f.r twenty-five minutes," paid the vis
itor, who was Paul de L, bounding
into the room.
".Monsieur did well to knock," fiid
Ciestiie, ;be valet, folio wing hiui
wuu a tivw, aininea s:ep "lie
might have rung till tbe diy of judg
ment, far my nrvnut wbb bruebing
tbe clothes of my matter, and I was
reading my morning paper. Ii is re
markably bright and inn resting tbie
morning."
Paul explains to tbe valet that be
has cjnie to persuade Lis maeter to
commit matrimony, but Le finds des
tine a foe to bis pr ject, for destine
is afraid that a lady at tbe Lead ot
tbe house will either dismiss, him, or
give biiu something to do.
So Paul aeks to be shown to
apartment of bis fiiend.
Tbe valet knocks directly at
door of bis master's bedroom.
tbe
tbe
"Who's there?"
"I, monsieur," said tbe valet. "I
have come to announce tbe arrival of
Monsieor Paul."
"Paul! Let bim come in. Paul!"
be cried, in a loud tone, "why didn't
you come in r bat are you potting
on ail that style with me tor?"
"I have come to talk about matri
mony," said Paul entering.
'-Matrimony I Thunder!" cried Me
deric, bouncing out of bed. "You go
and order breakfast," be cried, to the
valet. "I'll need all the strength I
can muster. As tor you, Paul, don't
liep a word cf your outlandish idea
until we are fairly set at tbe table."
"This looks bad," taid tbe vis-
couDt, to fcini&elf."
"That's all right," said Cle&tine.
tbe valet, casting a triumphant glance
at Paul.
During breakfast Paul fairly spread
himself in cracking up marriage. lie
proved conclusively that it stood in
tbe first rank of civil contracts, and
was altogether tbe most admirable of
tbe sacraments of the church. As be
listened to Limself be became infatu
ated with bis own elcqueccf; in fact,
be soared at times to almost inacces
sible height?, and Mcdcrie disputed
his argument with considerable in
genuity. After an hour or two cf
this sort of thing Paul exclaimed:
'Let s get down to business. W e
ought to have begun with it. I have
a cousin wbo is a widow. She has
such blind confidence in me that she
is willing to accept any one I'll pick
out as a busband for her."
I doo'i want her."
"She's a peail."
"Not any for me, thauk
"She's an aucel "
you.
"AH the same to me."
"She's youc? and prettv."
"What of it?"
"She's rich and well educated."
"That's none of my business."
"Sunday she'll attend morning
mass at St. Keen. Sbe'il be at the
rigbt of tbe pulpit, and she'll wear a
blue bat with white trimmings. Go
aud see her."
"Not I."
"If she don't fix you at the very
first glance I will never say another
word."
"You've already said too much."
"I won't stir until you promise to
go there Sunday."
Nell 111 go but what good
a ill that do you ?"
" l on II be charmed."
"I'd like to bet on it."
"I'd be betting on a certainty."
"What's Ibis treasure's name?"
"I'll tell you wben you've seen
ber that is, if tbe first Right of ber
does the business for you." t
. Mederic was at the church door at
the time appointed, looked in and
saw nobody answering that descrip
tion. But as be turned away be met
in tbe church porch a charming wo
man, whose hat seemed to him to be
blue, with white trimmings, or was'
it rather white with blue trimmings?
lie saw blae gauze, with satin, blae
tulle aad white silk capriciously
tangled together was this a blue
hat ? One needed to be more than a
man to decide this question. The
young lady tock a Feat at the left of
the pulpit.
"That settles it." faia Mederic.
'Tanl is right. She is very gocd
lotklng I'd like to k-iow her name
ad bet eh lives."
"It teem as ;f that gentleman were
following me," said tbe lady ia the
k50
blue hat, as she entered a moderately
pretentious bouse on Algiers street
after tbe service.
Mederic lisarned from the porter's
wife that tbe blue-hatted woman had
been a widow three years, and her
name was Arabelle P de B ;
that she bad lodged on the fourth
floor above the b&sement, which, it
must bo admitted, was hard to dia
linguioh from the fifth story. Almost
before be knew it, be was ringing the
bell of her apartments, and had been
admitted. As he waited be began to
cast about icr some pretext of calling
on her. He decided not to mention
Paul's name until forced to do so.
At that moment the door opened.
'Madam Arabelle," stammered
Mederic, bowing.
"I am ebe," replied tbe lady, who
seemed even prettier without the blue
bat.
After a prolonged bilenca, Mederic
began:
I li.iTA HAma T batro unmd "
"Ob, 1 understand," exclaimed
Madame Arabeile.vivacioiirily. "You
are the professor of German, and
you have come on the recommenda
tion of my friend, Matlamo Delatire.
I beg pardon for uot having aided
ycu a little in introducing yourself.
t hat hour can yon devote to my
daughter's instruction ?"
"Any hour you like," he replied,
bent on keeping up tie romantic
adventure, even to the undertaking
lessons in German, cf which be didn't
know a single word.
"Are you free from nine to ten ?"
"I am at liberty at all times I
would say my pupils have already
gone to the country to spend tbe
summer months," he replied, perceiv
ing that he was talking like a fool.
"I can, then, without taking too
much liberty, ask you to come any
day, at any hour ?"
"Exactly so, madame.
"Madame Ddattre has been pay
ing you, I think, ten dollars for fif
teen lessons. I will cive twice that
that sum for thirty lessons.'
"Your kindness quite overwhelms
me, madam."
"To-morrow, then, sir."
"To-morrow."
"At nine."
"Farewell, madam "
"Good day, Mr."
The Marquii bowed respectfully
and went out.
Arriving at home, tbe Marquis
uVpatcued a note to his friend Paul,
telling him net to eay another word
about cr to tbe lady in the blae bet
without bis permission.
Madame Arabelle presented ber
little pink and white daughter, about
six years old, to her "professor.-' Me
deric kissed her forehead, made ber
recite tbe first chapter of the French
gi am mar, and taught Ler a few words
of tbe 1 leniish dialect, whicn they
speak in the cities of French Flan
ders. These were hard as rocks;
raised the "gocse-flesh" on tbe lady
in tie blue hat, who assisted at ber
daughter's first lesson, dressed in
negiise costume, which became her
esqnisite beauty. He discovered
tbat she va3 as sweet aj honey, and
all wbo lived with ber positively
adored her. At a quarter to eleven
she was obliged to dismiss him, which
she did, as ebe did everything, with
charming grace.
At the second lesson he discovered
tbat she bad an arm whiter than
snow and a neck delicately poised on
her breast and shoulders, and she
came and went ia bis presence as if
be were not a man. lie was intoxi
cated with pleasure in spite of a
cloud which mistook him for a
teacher of languages.
At the appointed hour for tbe tbird
lesson his pupil bad not returned from
ber bath. The "professor" was told
to wait The lady in tbe blue hat
was singing in an adjoining parlor,
when he discovered she bad tbe voice
of Patti, tbe method of Madam Car
vallio aud tbe soul of Frezzolini.
Pretty soon tbe little girl came in,
tbe lesson iu German began aad tbe
singing stopped. Mederic was fond
of his little pupil, but just then be
could have sent ber away to Peru or
even China. Ilis bad humor melted
like snow before tbe sun tbe moment
her mother entered tbe room.
At the fourth lesson tbe Marquis
discovered tbat Madam Arabelle was
well acquainted with matters women
are not in tbe habit of botheriogtbeir
beads with. Charles X. was not tbe
son of Charles IV.
Tbe next lessen proved to bim tbat
she bad a prettv fair tincture of
gaograpby ia her education. At
least she knew where tbe handsome
crystal dishes that litter up the cap
boards are made that tbe manufac
turing corporations at Lyons sell
handsome silk dresses, and tbe In
dian Company beantiful laces. lie
discovered subsequently that she bad
tbe most delicate tact, for she asked
him if be would like a part of bis pay
in advance since bis pupils were all
in tbe country.
"I have the money now," she
hastened to add, as be forgot himself
and stared at ber like a lout, "and it
wiil be more convenient for me to
give fifty francs now than one hun
dred at tbe end of tbe month."
He also perceived with great pleas
ure that sbe bad a taste for his con
versation. After bis 'lesson' was
done, he sat boors together with her,

"Madam, I have a confession to

"A confession ?" :
"To me?"
"Madam, I love you."
Then Mederic talked to her an
hour by the watch.
He executed a thousand variations
on the same theme "I love you."
And what is surprising, his declara
tion was not idiotic in spite of his
loving sincerely. . ,
The lady was naturally disturbed,
but she was too mach of a Parisian
lady to show her emotion.
"If I loved you, eir," ohe said,
raising ber eyes to bis, "what would

speech was so persuasive, that the
lady of the blue hat consented to al
low tbe extenuating circumstances in
his favor. a

oflicious friend who had trumpeted
her merits so loudly..

sists in thinking I hate done a tine
thing, as the world , fpe3. We live
ia a time bo morally disturbed that
they who do their plain duty are re
garded as heroes."
Mederic went home intoxicated
with joy. His bead was in the clou d3,
aud be felt like stooping now and
then, lect he should knock off a star
or two.
And yet the lady had by no means
said 'ves.' Still less she bad said
no.'
The Marquis found his friend Paul
at bis house.
"My dear Mederic," said Paul, "I
have a confession to make. When I
came here three years ago, I swear
by my hoary headed ancestors, that
I bad tbe most disinterested deire
to see you married. I had a peari in
my band tbat I would have given
you on the spot, but it is well to dis
trust your first thought, because that
is only good it is second thoughts
which are the beet. When I found
myself alone, I etiil said, 'Yes, Med
eric shall be baopy. I haven't a bet
ter friend in tbe world.' Bat a3 I
walked along I began to reflect:
'Yes, I have a better friend now than
Mederic that friend is myself.' I
returned to tbe beautiful widow's,
and begged her not to go to the
church of Saint Rocb, or if she must
go, at least not to wear tbe pretty
hat she wanted to wear fv-r tbe first
time, for good luck. Tten I niuster-
ied all my courage. I said to her, 'I
love you my cousin.' And she said,
My cousin, I know it.' And 8o my
dear Mederic, 1 have come to invite
you to the wedding. But now take
my hand fur I have betrayed friend

come and come again, several limes
in hopes of meeting you. I believed
you bad closed your doors on me,
and felt like taking offense ; but final
ly contented myself with writing to
you." -
"I did not get your letter."
"I thought you were furious at not
meeting the lady ia tbe blue bat."
"I did meet her; and met ber to
such purpose tbat I am engaged to
ber, and now ask you to my wedding.
Only it was a white and blue bat. I
wrote to yon."
"I did not get your letter."
"I don't understand it," cried the
two friends in chorus, with as much
unison as if they bad been actors at
the opera comique.
'I want to own up," muttered the
valet, falling on bis kaees before bis
master.
"There is only one culprit hera,
and that's I."
First I told Monsieur tbe Marquis
that Monsieur tbe Viscount was ont
of town ; second, I closed tbe door
on Marquis the Viscount. I sup
pressed tbe letters of both gentlemen.
To be brief, I acted like a rascal, and,
what is harder to admit, like a fool.
I wanted to prevent my master frcm
marrying, and l was fool enough to
put him in the way of il If it hadn't
been for mj folly yen two gentlemen
would have met tbe next day after
that fatal Sunday. You'd laughed a
little about it at the clnb. Monsieur
the Marquis would have retired from
tbe affair as soon as be perceived tbe
feelings of the Viscount toward his
cousin, and tbat would have been an
end of it."
"Tbe rascal is rigbt," cried TauL
"He bas been the necessary obstacle
which makes these things success
ful." "Well," responded Mederic, "if mj
wife don't take a dislike to him, IU
keep bim."
"Monsieur the Marqais does me
great honor," Bald tbe valet, "but I
am bound to leave his service. 1

Mederic married the lady with tbe
blue hat. Paul married his cousin.
The two householders are perfectly
happy and there are plenty of chil
dren, two. Mederic has given op bis
German lessons. The little girl has
an excellent teacher, but she thinks
he doesn't begin to teach ber as much
or as well as her dear papa.
"I have bacn intending for several
years," said tbe Marquis one day to
his wife, "to ask an explanation ; but
we've always bad something else to
talk about when we're been alone.
What kind of a bat was it that you
wore at Saint Iloch the first time I
saw ycu ? Was it white or was it

"lilue."
"Why?"
"Because I ordered a blue hat of

13 A UttEENBACKER.
C'ONFP.DRIT X ItoADS, 1
(Wich is in the State uv Kentucky)
July 1, 170. )
The most intense Greenbacker we
bev ia tbe Corners is Sam Popman,
tbe drugger at Secessionvil.'e. Pop
man does nothing from morning till
nite but devise bnanshel ekeema tor

wicb, ez be bezn't never bin able to
pay any uv bis own, be is entirely
competent to do. Tbe histry nv
Sam. Popman is one uv tbe saddest
that bez crown ont uv Sherman's
crocel polisy.
In 1SC1 Sam. Popman wuz a drug
ger at Sece39ionviIle, hevilv ia debt.
He owd for his stock nv drags, and
be owd for tho cloze bis wife wore,
and also for them wicb adorned bis
person. So d esprit, wuz Samyooel'a
forenoon?, in constkence uv his pre-
dilecstion for boss races and draw
po ker, and sicb, that he seriously
contemplatid ekippin to Texas, and
erabarkin in the generally poplar and
alluz profitable bizness uv stee-Iio
hossi-B on tbe Mexikin border.
The indaahen uv the currency con-
sekent upou the expenses ov tbe war,
cbantod Samooel's career. He found
his stock uv drugs goin tip 20 per
cent, a day. Jolion, wicb be owed
for at tbe rate of six cents a pound,
shot op to 20, to SO, to 50, to aoy-
thintr be chose to ask for it, and it
kep ehooiiu op aud np till the little
stock he bed uv $5,000, wuz wuth
$50,000, and no matter wat he bot, it
went op on bis hands, and Samyoo-d
found btspelf wctn a $100,000 ia no
time.
Uv course SamroosI to-wunst com-
uienst to live in a style commensu
rate with bi3 increased meens. He
went and bilt an adishn to bis bouse,
pcttia on two wings and an exten
bhun back, bildin in fact completely
around tbe old bouse, and putiin an
other story on the top. Thea his
wife immejitly got two hired girls,
and bis two dawters wuz sent to a
seminary ia Looisrille. Samyooel,
for bis own pleasure invested" in a
tat-t trottin boss, and jined tbe Ken
tacky Club in Lcoisviile, and played
poker ez much ez he pleased, and he
pleased to do a good deel uv it. It
riid'nt make a partiklo uv difference,
for every dollar uv gcods Le bot
doubled on bis hands every day or
two. Mrs. Popman utterly refooeed
to do any work uv any kicd, and
Fj eal the beft cv ber tinte tryin on
urtsse-r, wuich sbe bet in Looisville,
and takiia exkurKions to that city, to
wear ei... It was rutber a gorgeous
time fc the Pnomaas.
IrH ST3 Saui700el cu'skivered there
wuz a change. The war had tin
over acme time, atd tbe debt wich it
hed coat Led to be paid. Samyooel
didn't see any necessity for payin it
at a!L Samyooel bed lived out all
the promts be hed made by the raise
ia the valyoo uv his goods, end bed
gone bevvy into reel estaite. He
bed bot a large amount uv lands,
wich hed bia goiu up jist the same ez
drugs, aad bed bot em all on credit.
He hedn't made eny down payments,
but in place of actual money down on
bis noo purchase?, be hed given
mortgages oa the property bot, and
also on bis house and store, and sich
other reel and puronal property ez
be hed. It worried bim.
Ez tbe kentry, under Sherman's
rooinous polisy, begun to git down tu
a gold baais, drugs began to drop 10
per cent, a day, instid uv raisin 20,
and reel estate commenst to foller
drugs, and sich, with friteful accoo
racy. The land wich be hed agreed
to pay $1,000 a aker fer, be coodent
sell fer $15, owin tu the fact tbat no
bedy wantid it, and the quinine he
hed paid $i a ounce fer, dropped ta
$2 20. Ccnsekently Samyooel wuz
forat to tuccum, and be wuz skoop
ed. The otht;r drugger ia Secesahun
ville wuz atioiher kind uv a man. He
acceptid tun raise oa his 6tock doorin
the war period in a Criscbea sperit
uv thankfulness, aad hived, very
keeiful.y, ail the tuuiiey it made him.
He lived In the same old boose, thro
it all, bis wife continncred, in a Cris
chea way to bake her own buckwbete
cakes and do her ov:a washin, and be
set liis iaee use a mot agin last acss-j

wuz wat worried Samyooel. Wen

1SC2 be marked em up. He sed tu

"I hed tbe benefit, uv the rise I
will take tbe consekences uv tbe fall,
blessid be tbe name uv tbe Lord,"
and be went rite along, and contin
ncred tu do bizuis and prosper, while
the Sberif woz clozin out SamyooeL
This other drugtjer never bowled
about bard times.
Samyooel Popman firmly believes
that be wuz destroyed by Sherman,
and I agree with him. Hed Sher

out, for bosses and mules and army

hev coutinnered to keep bis fast boss,
and Mrs. Samyooel cood bed cootin

keenly. In tbe time before tbe pros-

his appetite got attooned to sbampace

DRESSES FOR YOUNG tilttLS.
It is not an easy matter to select
dresses for young girls of fourteen or
fifteen years, as they are too tall for
tbe slender designs used for smaller
girls, while thone appropriate for tbeir
older sisters are too elaborate for
them. At present the furnishing
houses provide simple girlieh cos
tumes made with a basque, long
round overskirt, and a lower skirt
tbat reaches to tbe ai-kles. There
aro also manv dresser- for iriises
made with trimmed sk
late two skirts, but uiiu

Tbe trimmed skirts or simple di es

plaita from tbe belt down, while tbe
front and sides have a loog apron
sewed ia with tbe belt, and fastenrd
down tbe side seams; a aarrow-plr 4
ed flounce is below this on the zond
breadths of tbe lower skirt. Tbe re

and side breadths laid in box plaits

where they are left slightly loose, are

Valencitones or Breton lace.
The overskirt most liked for woolen
and wash dresses bas a deep apron

draped back. Wbea of double width
woolen goods two breadths suffice for
the entire overskirt. The front

fold is tacked to tbis tape, so tbat tbe

of the froat breadth are sloped to

Eere wool dresses, usually French

shirred satin, make neat dresses for

Tbe polonaise meet ued by youag
