iiw t?be waetiie l ln-tiieil ul Arthur
Fausbawe, and liis name was good

I bad lieen Katbleen's intimate
friend and clmsen companion ever
since our school day;"; tome there
had never leen " true and dear a
friend. But I could not shut my
eves to her lseltitiir tin pride. In
vain 1 arued with her, lectured her
tin it evils. Siie had always listen
ed patiently, but witb a sarcastic
gleam in her brown even, and when
I had finished she would lay ber
head on my knee and smile up into
tnv face mischievously.
ulear old Mentor!" she would
gay ; "it i no -ue. Pride was the
gule heritage left me, and though it
wrecks all my happinet-s, I cannot
conquer it."
One day nhe came to my side and
held up one -white finger encircled
by a costly diamond rinr. In an
swer to my startled look of inquiry
fhe paid slowly, as though it pained
her :
"It is Arthur Fansbawe's rinp.
Cfw-rie; I have promised to be his
Wife"
Arthur F.insbawe, tbe blase man
of the wo! Id ; a cynic, a sceptic, ev
en thing hard and unnatural. To
throw away her youth and iienuty
and purity upon Arthur Fanshawe!
It was a cruel thing.
KathieP I cried, "tell me it is

"There are a million reasons," she
answered bitterly.
Then she went away, and when I
saw ber again she was in tbe midst
of a gay gr.nu, lovely in ber glitter
ii.g b.tll dres, and Arthur Farsbawe
was at her side, bis bard, rold eves
lighted with the frot-ty gleams of a
elfih love, bis engagement to a fair
New York belle publically announc
ed. I knew then that tbe mntch bad
ten of aunt I;int:lev's makim? ; that
her ambition for her beautiful niece
bad at iatvt attained tbe height of a
wealthy marriage, and that lo induce
Kathleen to submit r-hehad contnv
ed to make ber realize ber deiiend-
ence. And Kathleen. feeling ber-tlf,spot faraway
a burden on ber Itonntv, grew
"Weary of eatinp another's bread.
And toilinp tip and down another's stairs."
Her pride had ctrried ber through
and she had const iit d to ti e sacri
fice.
Soon after Mrs. L'h-Jty projected
a trip to Florida, and begged me to
accompany her and Kathleen; Mrs.
Fujishawe, of course, was to follow.
Wearriwi at our destination, a
romantic iiule town in (he Utt ta

We settled ourselves in a long,

ESTABLISHED, 1827.
PA.VWKDNESDAY. DECEMBER 6. 182.
We did not require a second invi
tation, and soon we gathered on the
beach, where the lake spread out be
fore us its broad, unruffled bosom,
its cool, green lily pads, and over all
the blue, cloudless sky f a Florida
midwinter, witb the sun, like a great
unwinking eye, staring lazily down
UIM3II us.
"Mb-s Langley, said a voice near
us a low, sweet, rich voice, like liq
uid music I beg your pardon tor
intruding, but that boat is unsafe.
She has been lor some time out of
repair. 1 fear you will meet with an
accident if you go out in ber."
A young mai. stood by Kathleen's
side, a tall, slender man, with a face
like a picture, with great si uruberous
dark eyes, and a nameless grace and
fascination about hiui. But his dress
was coarse and common and ids
hands were embrowned with toil.
W ith mat wonderful face ami fig
ure like some rare old statue, he was
only a fisherman aflt-r nil.
Kathleen's face was hushed and
she glanced up timidly. But hi fore
she could say a word Mr. Fanshawe
turned upon the intruder with a
cool stare of insolence.
''What do you wean ?" he demand
ed. "liow dare you intereftre with
my affairs."
The young man raised his hat with
a graceful bow. '
"My nam is Sanford," he said,
quietly. "Bay i Sanford, I live a
mile above the beach. 1 am accus
tomed to the lake ; I spend half my
time upon it. 1 know all the boats;
the of it-yo hare chtb-eti is unwor
thy. If you gi out in her you will
certainly be drowned."
He put on bis hat and walktd
away without another worth He was
proud, too it was very easy to see
that.
I glanced at Kathleen. She did
not see me; ber eyes were bent upon
the graceful figure in its coarse dre-s,
moving away ; down tbe shining
sands. ;
I saw her clench her hands and
set ber teeth together, and then her
gaze encountered mine, and then,
starting slightly, she forced a weak
emile.
"Are you ready, ladies ?"
Arthur Fansbawe's voice broke
the silence. ,
"Are you going in that boat?"
inquired Kathleen.
"To be sure. I am not foolish
enough to pay any heed to the croak
lings of yonder clodhoppers. I'll
teach him that T, too, understand
managing a boat if 1 do not spend
half my tim on the lake.." "
' You are careless in yourepithets,
Mr. Fanshawe," observed Kathleen,
frigidly "mistaken likewise. Mr.
Sanford is a gentleman."

Well, we yielded to Ihe ruling pnw

water, far away and soon out of

It was a perfect dav, and, full of
life and gayety, we had forgotten all
about yonng San ford's warning,
when suddenly there was a low ex

"Tbe boat is filling witb water! I

It was too true.

cheeks wore a nectic flush ; there
was something wrong about Kath

tended departure, and we walked
alone on the beach.
Tbe sun was setting, dropping
slowly down its golden ladder into
fleecy cloud banks of scarlet and
amber; up and down we pated,
neither of us speaking.
So the sun set and the twilight
gathered.
Suddenly the form of a man roe
U fore us in the gray twilight. He
came straight up to Kathleen and
held out both his hands.
She laid down her own within
them.
There was a sweet smile on her
lips; her eyes were luminous.
"Is it good bye?" Kathleen s.iid,
softly.
"Never!" lie tried, fiercely. "Tell

and a common fisherman."
With a face like marble and eyes

her engagement ring from her fiiigr
and laid it in Arthur Fun.-hawea
hand, saying, c iltlly :
"1 have worn it too long, Mr. Fan

L's am:!Z-tiient, U,iy Sanford spoke:
"And who told you, Mr Fanshawe.
that I was buta common fishe-man ?
Not ti tut I attach any ignominy to
the vocation, which has been follow
ed by some of the noblest and great
est heroes of earth, but unfortunate
ly, I have no claim to the title. I
am merely passing a few months on
the Florida coast, roughing it, that
I might regain the health ami
strength which had unaccountably
deserted me. I leave soon for my
home in the north. You have heard
of Hugh .Sanford, of Boston ?"
"A merchant prince!" ejaculated
Fanshawe, beginning to move away.
"He is my father," said Ray San
ford, coolly; and. bending over to
Kathleen, who stood clinging to me,
tie continued, while Fanshawe slunk
on through the evening shadows:
"Kathleen, say you forgive my
unintentional deception. 1 hail

realized the full extent of my guilt
Forgive me, for I love you so!"
Her bead wag on bis shoulder, his
arm around her. They had forgot -ted
all about me, and I went home
alone.
An hour later Kathleen came to
my side, her eyes shining like stars.
"Y'ou'll be my bridesmaid, Cber
ie," she whispered, kissing me with
tears in her eyes. "I'm the happiest
litMe woman alive! And the best of

thought bim a poor fisherman as I

black Newfoundland dog is a much
abused beast. He is sought more for
strength than beauty, kept on low

The earliest records of the island
show that the aboriginal dog of the
country was a g.od-tempered creat
ure of great size, and so strong that
he could draw from the water seals
weighing hundreds of pounds. He
had a pessionate fondness for the
sea, lived on 'raw fish and was a
skillful diver, swimming rapidly
under water and catching his prey
by the mouth. A case is cited where
one of these dogs was seen Catching
fish for sheer sport, heaping them
up on the shore and then plunging
iu for others. The same records
prove however that this dog was of
an extinct species very different from
the present Newfoundland though
the latter, in this lattitude, is very
fond of raw fish.
Company Manners.
, "Will you please sit down ami
wait a moment till mother comes?"
said a little girl to two ladies who
came to see ber mother.
"And will you give me a glass nf
water, Martha?" asked one of the
ladies ; "I am very thirsty.'
"With pleasure," answered Mar
tha, and she presently came back
with two goblets of water on a small
waiter which she passed to both
ladies.
"O, thank you," said the other
lady, "you are very thoughtful."
"You are quite welcone," said Mar
tha, very sweetly.
When Martha went out of the
room one of the ladies said: "This
little girl is one of the loveliest chil
dren I ever met How sweet and
obliging her manners are!"
Let us go into the next room and
see. Martha took the waiter back, to
the dining room.
"Me drink! me drink !" cried lit
tle Bobby, catching hold of his sis
ter s dress and screwing up his rosy
li.
"Get out Bob " cried Martha ;u go
to Bridget."
"Don't speak so to your little
brother," said Bridget.
"It is none of your busii rss what
I say," cried Maltha, tossing back
her bead.
"Martha!" That is grandmother
calling from the top of the stairs.
"What! screamed Martha back.
"Please come here, dear,' said
grandma.
"I don't want to," muttered Mar
tha. She, however, dragged herself u;-

a cross, contradictory tone; "you al

tumbling things over like the north

"No matter," said the dear old
lady, seeing she would have much
to do to put things to right again ;
"no matter, Martha ; they will come

Oh dear, where are Martha's civiL
obliging manners? Why, those are
here L'vmpany manners. She puts
them on in the parlor, and puts
them off when she leaves the parlor.
She wears them before visitors, and
hangs them up when they are gone.
You see she has no maeners at
home. She is cross and disobliging
and rude and selfish. She forgets
that home is the first place to be po
lite in in the kitchen as well as in
the parlor. These is no spot in the
house where g'od manners co, be

thanksgiving, as the people at l.trns-

cember 22, 1031), and December 11,
i7;;u.
In the Massachusetts co'onv the
first thanksgiving was held at Bos
ton, July S, 1C,30, it being a speci.-l
occasion, having no reference to
harvests. Again in February, 1G31.
there was a thanksgiving, as already
noticed. In the October following
a thanksgiving w.is held for the safe
arriv.d of "Mr. Winthrop and her
children." In these appointments
ere do not find the thankgiving that
e know to-day, nor do we ihtett
any lull design against Cnri-tmas.
In lb.'M on June 5, there was a
thanksgiving for the victorious in
the Palatinate, and in October anoth
er fir the harvest. In 1R.57 there
was a thanksgiving for victory over
the IVq'iots, and in lfviS for the ar
rival of ships and for the harvest.
The thanksgiving days from 1G.M to
10S4 numbered about twenty-one, or
less than ono in every two years.
The celebration of loTli had special
reference to the victory over King
Philip.
From this period until the Revo
lution a thanksgiving of some kind
occurred nearly every othe" year,
and even twice in the same year, as
in 1742. Some of these days were
appointed by the royal governors,
while again they were ordered by
the king or queen or by the borne
Board of Trade.
After tht close of the Revolution a
tendency to make thanksgiving day
a regular institution in New York
was at once apparent, and Governor
John Jay. in 1795, issued a procla
mation for the 11th of November.
The act, however, was seized upon
by politicians, who maintained that
be was seeking to flatter religious
prejudices. At an earlv periotl. also,
the Mayors of New York were accus
tomed to apjmint a flay of thanks
giving, in accordance witb the rec
ommendations of the council, and
that nf Dec. IS. 1799, appears to
have been the fir-t so ordered. Yet
tbe oliservarce of tbe day until
Governor Clinton's time was more
or less broken. The festival was
kept, however, by Episcopalians,
according to the provisions of the
Prayer Book, other religious Ixalies
at the same time followed their own
preferences. Clinton's course, like
Jays. xcited criticism. At the east
end of Long Island there was no
little murmuring, because the day
die not coincide witb the local cus
tom. It appears that the people of
East and Southampton observed
thanksgiving on the Thursday after
the cattle were driven home from

Superstition in MawutcliBuietttt.
There i-i a great deal of supersti
tion yet remaining in the most
civilised States of the world. One
of the most recent illustrations of
this comes from Massachusetts. At
Fall River, about a year ago a house
belonging to an aged blind woman
was sold under a fort closure of
mortage, and the old woman cursed;
the parties concerned in th ale
and prayed that whoever tnk tb
house might become hliud. The
purchaser, another old lady, was
deeply grieved by her threats, and
was never happy in the houe. Her
health rapidly declined antl she

imagination and finally caused her
death. Ex.

"Jimmy, if you don't keep still, .
Ill send you away from lha table."
"Yes, that's what you always do
when there is company, and there
are not enough canned peaches to
go around,", was the reply of the.
gifted youth.
