A XKY YEAR'S CHOICE.
One niinht think, who saw tier
lifr-, that f-w eitile led a lonelier
life than Nina Prentice did. Au
tirphiui with iiitrmw nienns, keeping
up her dead father's house, there
wat little vUiMe excitement in such
an t-Aistenee. .
Yet hers was a temperament that
did not require excitement, aud that
found happineest where others would
nut dreuui of looking for it. Her
fianltii and htr flowers was like a
household to her ; the pmir all over
the little hill town afforded her oc
cupation ; tdie visited somewhat
.lining a few wealthy acquaintance!!,
.mil for the reft, if she had auch day
dreams as other joung ladies are
vont to indulge, no tine was any
viM-r fr them.
Noliodv knew that her friend'a
t itlier, the wealthy Mr. Karnes, had
nude her a colliding ofl'er of mar
riiie any time withm the latt three
.tare ; in.hixlv knew fioui her that
Kitee lldiiM'Om weiit out to a Mex
t'a:i ranch InciiU-e fche had no
whiles' tti give him ; nobody knew
. lielher llnrold Hartleys lace ever
.laittvd ut f the windows of her
iMftles in the air; iiolxKiy knew
tthether one New Vear day the
.oikei f.irwitrd tthe next with any
wu'idi r s to whiit it iniht briirg
.er tif Mirrow or jy. She was s-o
-".eet. to p'.lenl, gentle, that peo
pie in general knew no tnore'ot her
emotions than of l hope of the statue
ut Home oaint in its churchly niche.
Yet it was only on the last New
YearV evening that, if anv ou had
been able to It. ok behind her cur
tains, they would have seen her on
her knees before the low blaze of her
fire, crying as if her heart would
break, burying her face in her hands
and longing fur the night when'this
fever called living" should be over
at la.t
Terhaps Mrs. Hartley, her moth
er's old intimate, had come idea of
the fire that burned under this crust
of snow. But Mrs. Hartley was not
entirely impartial in her judgment
of the girl, and it was her morning
and evening prayer that Nina should
some day stand in a closer relation
to her than she did at present. But
as that would be impossible with
out her sou Harold's intervention,
:he left no stone unturned to that
end.
Mrs. Hartley thought she knew a
treat deal better what was good for
her son than he did ; ami when she
had made up her mind that he had
lietter marry Nina Prentice, it was
because she consulted his beet wel
fare -pobaibly without complete re
gard to Nina's. She knew that Har
old, although so bffeclionale, was cf
high temper ; and that Nina had
iuexhaustable stores of still patience,
and that that still patience would
await the time when he should come
back to her. n. longer the knight
errant, spumed by a restless nature,
hut a quiet and dignified gentleman,
ready to take his father's honored
place in the community. Her ap
proaches in he question were ex
ceedingly gentle; yet not so gentle
that they did not put Harold on his
guard, so that he was like the hunt
ed deer, snuffing the gale afar off.
"Well, mother, 1 thank good
i.ess," he said, with a light laugh, on
dttectii-g her meaning. that we do
not live in France, and that you
can't go and inquire Nina's dot aud
settle the "
"It's a very good dot, Harold.
Just a snug little income to keep the
wolf Ironi the door and satisfy reas
onable wants ; and it would be vast
ly better for any husband than
I lunching out n the tremendous
foitune of Miss Barnes, with pala
tes, so to bay, and yachts and racing
horses."
"Just 121 ve me the chance to see it
if it is. Goto Miss Barnes, mother "
cried Harold, gayly. "Ask the
amount of her dot, and if your
scaegrace of a son is worth it.
Yachts and rac.ng horses ! I like the
idea."
"Oh, Harold P
"But Miss Barnes is a beauty, too,
mother, and very sweet and gay.
The man that marries her needn't
marry for her money at all. (she
would have lovers if she hadn't a
penny in her own right 'Don't ee
marry for money, but go wheer
money be,' " quoted Harold. "Ex
cellent advice, that old northern
farmers. And I'll go 'where monev
be1 to-night, as he drew on bis
gloves.
-Don't talk so, Harold. Dont
talk so, even in jest Miss Barnes
may be well enough, tor all I know,
but her money would destroy you,
who were net born to money. Yoa
would do nothing and come to noth
ing. But as for Nina Prentice, as I
said, she's a saint"
"Wouldn't do at all for a wife then
Wive nitisn't be' too good nfor hu
man nature's daily food.' Tlnnk of
reproving a saTnt because the buck
wheats were flt, or tha buttons ufL

It was a misty summer night, so
thick one could hardly see a star.
Bat those ringing steps needed no
guiding star to direct them, for, to

tell the truth. Haf-old Hartley sus
pected himself ot being more than
half in love with Miss B rnes. Un
doubtedly, there was something in
her superb surroundings that added
to her own charms: ud she seem
ed too, as entirely at horm iu them
as the flower that blossoms in the
rich, moist air of the hot-houses.
That velvet lawn, set with its flam
ing exotics and beds of flowers, with
the lofty porches and wide halls be
hind it, the dimly lit drawing rooms,
and the diniag room, with its gen
erous side board .all the conscious
ness of ease and comfort and delight
of the senses about the place made
visiting Miss Barnes a very pleasant
way of passing time ; and then, more
over, as her father was a prominent
man of affairs amang the politicians
of the couutry, on met there people
who enlarged the mental horizon
and made a man , think for himself
and of himself.
To-night, however, as he went
along, his mother's words gave him
a lit.ie thought, and it did occur to
him that it was unwise to let him
self btcume so used to all this splen
dor and luxury on a venture; for.
after all, a girl of such wealth and
fascinntion as Miss Birmshxd her
chou e from a crowd of lovers, of
whom he was but one aud the least
conspicuous.
Just as these salutary reflections
stole through his mind his ear was
caught by the crying of a child, and
he paused to look, into the window
of the cottage that he was passing,
and to see a woman hushing a little
child, whose face was now hidden
in her neck a slejider, datkly-clad
woman, who moved here and there,
with the baby on ,her arm, and at
tended to the wants of a number of
other children, waile a man sat at
the table, with hia arms thrust out
straight before him and his head
fallen between thetu, in an attitude
of abject despair.
The woman's bsck was toward him
all the time ; but something about
her rem in tied him of Nina Preu
tice.
'Pretty much what I might ex
pect, 1 supiHjse,'; groaned Harold,
"if I o'eed my mother. "By
George P as the woman half turned,
a sweet, fair, sad face, and delicate
profile of figure, "1 believe it is Ni
na!' .S -
But its absurdity destroyed the
fancy, and he Went on his way,
whistling a bar ortwo of the "Wan
derer," and would have been very
shortly with Miss Barnes, had he
not beea detained by a discussion
with a chance friend at a corner;
and bad not then stepped into a
pool of water, and beeu obliged to
hunt up a boutblack, tbe little scamp
atlerward leepiiighitn waiting for
the change. T" '
"1 declare," said he to Nina, when
at last ne reached Miss Barnes' par
lor, "I thought 1 saw you married to
a drunken laborer, as 1 came alone
to-night with a gang of babies clam
bering round "
"What made you think him
drunken?" asked Nina, with her
sweet seriousness.
"Oh ! the looks of him the arms

"I suppose," said Nina, "that a
poor mau whose wife lay dead in the
other room, might look much that
way."
"I believe it was you P cried
Harold.
"Do I look like itP she asked,
lightly. "And have 1 dual existence,
to be here aud there to ?"
And then, as Harold glanced her
over, in her airy muslins and forget-tue-nots,
he smiled at the idea;
anu she seemed all at once as differ
ent from that woman and from all
other women, as if she had stepped
out of another star.
Yet, for all that, a man does not
care to marry a woman who is Uif
lerent from all other womeu simply
to oblige his mother.
"What are you two talking about?"
asked Miss barnes, standing be tore

Bacchante, with her head bound

And then she went dancing down

a waiter was just bringing iu a tray
of juleps.

"Did she tell you that she did.

"Well, no. That is, not exactly.
I herd that one of the Hill ladies
was down at the McNultv's doing
these things, and spoke of it inci
dentally to Miss Barnes; and she
asked me to say nothing about it
and said she only did what she
couldn't help doing; and when I
said I thought it a great deal for her
to leave all her gay life every sun
set and go down there, night after
night, and wait on that family, and
then hurry home to her household
of company, she colored up so pret
tuy, and said we were all Stewarts,
and it was duty and pleasure, too,
to do what she could."
"Humph !" said Harold Hartley.
He knew very well now who it was
that he saw through t e window of
the McNulty cottage.
But alter all, a pretty face covers
a multitude of sins. He set about
forgetting the deceit ; he reasoned
that it was a girlish jest, signifying
nothing; and be went to Washing
ton all the same, shortly after the
holiday season arrived, and present

Year's Cillers at the great doors of

place, well content that Mr. Hartley
should see the triumphal procession
that the day was likely to be.
And a triumphal procession it
was the jeunmse tLrree. . Loungers,
clerks, attaches, members, senators,
secretaries, officers, in their spleudid
uniforms, all swelled the ranks,
swept through the great house, and
kept it thronged with groups iu the
rose drawing room, groups in tbe
gray parlor, in the music ball, the
i rawing room and conservatory.
As the day wore on Miss Barnes,
with a portion of her attendants,
was as much in the dining room as
the drawing room, sauntering iu
A ith one and out with another, or
standing under the heavy curtains
between the rooms.
What a picture she made,.Harold

y elluw puppies in her hair, against
the background of the citrine colored
curtains.
There she was now, taking that
Venetian gem of a decanter from a
servant, and herself pouring wine
for an old senator, who had perhaps
already too much.
Here came a parcel of gold laced
officers, flushed and gay and hand
some. What did she mean by urg
nig that old port on the half tipsy
boy among them, while the rest
laughed and jested ?
Harold was not ordinarily troub
led with scruples ; but this seemed
;o him to pass the limits of a jest
and he experienced a sense of reliet
as he saw a lady approach in the
shadow of the curtain, and placing
her hand on bis arm lead one boy
away.
Gowned in gleaming white satin,
her shining shape crossed that scar
let blaze like the passing of a moon
beam, and knowing who it was and
thinking she might have trouble,
Harold followed ; but it was only to
find Nina alone in the gray parlor.
the boy having laughed her cup ol
bullion to scorn and left her out ot
hand.
"Isn't it too bad ?" she said with a
laugh that was half a sigh after all
"He asked me if I was a temperance
lecturer, and called this delicious
bullion 'slops.' Will you have
it?"
"Where have you ben all day ?"
he said, setting down the cup.
"Oh ! 1 am on duty on ibis side.
We are all stationed by plan of bat

deserted to the other rooms, Isn't
this a lovely one? It almost unfits
a person for quiet life at home, these
aav nights and days, ll would, at
least, if one were quite at rest in it"
It was a lovely room. It tempted
all Harold's old love of ease and lux
ury. The gray velvet on the floor, drap
ing on the walls, draping on the fine
walls, covering the cushioned divans,
wearing a frosty bloom under the
silver chandeliers, the delicate carv
ed jades and ivories, and spars, the
one white winged marble, it seemed
somehow as it Nina herself had tak
en shap- from all these pure, pearly
shadows.
He looked through the gleaming
arches thai led from room la room
and saw the scarlet clad and golden
crow nt d beauty standing tnere, with
the rubv glass suspended in her
hand as she offered it to some new
guest and a strange shudder stole
over him.

was like a picture of the incarnation
of sin aud the other of innocence.
tie remembered the icy morning, a
a few weeks ago, when he had seen
Nina in ber swandewn mantle hold
ing up a sheaf of wheat against the
sky, and a hundred little belated
birds hovering around it with whir
ring wings and chirruping cries, and
he turned and looked at Nina with
a piercing gaze again, before which
her soft eyes' fell, till the blushes
streamed ap b meet the lashes; and,
as be gazed, knowledge came slowly

was it possible he bad been so blind
of it all for years ? So white, so fair,

so sweet so pure, was it possible
that he could win her. Would she
take the Door remnant he had to

ror one brief moment Harold
Hartley felt pangs of punishment
that seemed to have lasted for years
and he felt like a sad old man as he
still gazed up. in her. But he was
one not to be long daunted, either
by his own unworthines-t or by the
cruelty of fate.
In a heart beat or two he was him
self again, and he plunged in, aware
that, even if she would have none ot
him now, it gave him the vantage
ground of her compassion for the
future.
"I am g!ad," he said, "that you
are not at rest in this life. It is a
different life that I wish you to

The Reason Why.
"Where is the old Stewart?" in

boaid an outgoing steamer, lust pre

Oh, he was discharged some time

" hy. he seemed to be a hrst
class fellow," rejoined the first speak

too big for his breeches, and we
bounced him."
This conversation occurred within
hearing of a bright eyed, intelligent
little girl, the daughter of one of the
tourists on the steamer, subsequent

"I do," piped a small voice from
the cabin door.
Looking around, the inquirer saw
the smiling face of a little girl peep

was he discharged ?"
"Oh, I don't hire to tell," she re

A Hint to Howela.
A few days ago, says the St Louis
Globe Democrat, a lady inquired at
one of our city book stores for the
latest novels, and from a number
presented to her selected Howell's
"Modern Instance" for purchase.
Next day Bhe returned with the vol
ume to exchange it for another. She
said she had read only the first chap
ter, and found it enirely "unfit to
have about th house where it could
be seen by young people."
, The clerk expressed his astonish
ment thai such an objection should
lie made to a work by Mr. Howells,
whereupon the lady opened the
book al the followfng passage, to
which she invited attention and
condemnation. The actors in the
scene are a young lady and a young
gentleman who have just returned
from a sleigh ride :
"Good-night," he said, in a low,
sad voice. He gave her hand a last
pressure, ant) rose to put on his coat
Her admiratior of his words, her
happiness in his flattery, filled her
brain like wine. She moved dizzily
as she took up the lamp to light him
to the dour. "I have tired you," he
said tenderly, and he passed his
hand around her to sustain the el
how of the arm with which she held
the lamp; she wished to resist, but
she could not try.
"At the door he bent down his
head and kissed her Good-night,
dear friend."
"Good-night," she panted, and af
ter the door had closed upon him
she stooped and kissed the knob on
which his hand had rested.
"I could not allow a book with
such language as that in itte remain
in my house," said the lady.
Why She Stopped Her Paper.
She came bouncing through the
sanctum door like a cannon ball,
and without pausing to say, "How
d'ye do?" she brought her umbrella
down with a crash and shouted :
"I want you to stop my paper."
"All right, madam."
"Stop it right off, too," she persist
ed, whacking the table again, "for
I've waited long enough for you to
do the square thing."
She quieted down for a moment
as we ran our finger down the list of
names and when we reached hers
and scratched it out she again
shouted :
"There! Now maybe youH do as

A Feminine Trait.
A man's foes are those of his own
household, aud the keenest enemies
of woman are women themselves.
No one can inflict such humiliation
on a woman as a woman wnen sne
chooses ; for if the art of high baud-
ed snubbing belong to men, that of
subtle wounding is peculiarly femi
nine, aud is practiced by tbe best
bred of the sex. Women are always
more or less antagonistic to each
other, They are gregarious in fash
ion and emulative iu follies, but
they caunot combine; they never
support their weak sister; they
shrink from those who are stronger
than the average, and if they would
speak the truth boldly, they would
confess to a radical contempt tor
each other's intellect, which is per
haps the real reason why the sect of
the "emancipated" commands so
small a following. Half a dozen
of men advocating "emancipation"
doctrines would do more towards
leavening the whole bulk of woman
kind than any number of first class
women. When they do stand by
each other, it is from instinctive or
personal affection rather than from
class solidarity. And this is one of
Hie most striking distinctions of the
sex, aud one cause among others
why men have the upper hand, and
why they are able to keep it
A Tramp's Furtnoe.
Hereafter the thoughtful minded
citizen, in view ot a recent occur
rence, will give heed and ear to the
merry, merry tramp who accosts him
with the old story of "Just a little
assistance until 1 hear from home,
where I have considerable money
due me."
Some such yarn as this always
accompanied the frequent demands
a tramp named John Whalen made
upon District Attorney-elect J. D.
Sullivan, ot San Francisco. Tramp
Whalen generally "stuck" for two
bits at at a time and was both con
sistent and persistent in his story
which was this :
lleclaimed.to have a small for
tune awaiting him in England,
which could be secured by any one
knowing how to legally claim it for
him. The fellow stuck to it with
such earnestness that Mr. Sullivan
at last concluded that it was worth
the time and postage of one letter to
England. This he wrote, and while
he waited an answer Tramp Whalen
met the fate common to city tramps
he was arrested as a vagrant A
letter was received by Mr Sullivan
containing the surprising informa
tion that the described Whalen was
entitled to 5,UUU, or, in the denom
ination Mr. Sullivan is accustomed
to include iu his own accounts, 125,
000. This, of course, placed the Tramp
Whalen in the light of a citizen
whose whereabouts it was desirable
to learn. Tbe letter contained an
earnest request that Mr. Sullivan
should forward his peculiar client to
England at once. Tbe attorney set
about hunting up the Tramp Wha
len aud was not much surprised to
learn that he was in the gloomy
shades of the Central Police Station,
awaiting sentence as a "vag." Tbe
plot worked admirably. Just as the
attorney, as he would in a play, was
preparing to rush to his distressed
client, with the $25,000 information,
a messenger entered with a prepaid
cablegram transferring I5u0 for
Whaleu's expenses to England.
Armed with this, Sullivan entered
the police court No. 2. Whalen,
ragged, dirty, dejected, but calm,
sat in the prisoner's dock. Judge
Rosenbaum had just fixed his judi
cial eye upon the "vag," in mental
tlebate whether to give him twenty
days in the county . jail, or three
mouths in the house of correction,
where his abilities could be turned
to the making of country roads. The
attorney, with proper dramatic ef
fects, explained the situation to the
court The court reflected, and the
poetry or dramatic unities or some
thing occurring to him,the court or
dered the "vag s" discharge on con
dition that be leave the city and
county of San Francisco within 24
hours. Agreed. Exit attorney and
tramp.
Whalen was fitted out with an en
tire new suit of clothes, gave him
self a surprise with a bath and a
shave, and, as Mr. Sullivan express
es it "he actually did not know him
self." He visited several of his old
haunts, restaurants vhere he bad
begged meals, etc., and was looked
upon as a thief in his new outfit
He left for England on the overland
train via New York.
The Miseries of a Mean Man.
Sometimes I wonder what a mean
man thinks about when he goes to
bed. When he turns out the light
and lies down. ben the darkness
turns in about him and he is alone
and compelled to be-honest with
himself. And not a bright thought
not a generous impulse, not a manly
act, not a word of blessing, not a
grateful look, comes to bless him
acain. Not a penny dropped into
the outstretched palm of poverty, nor
the balm of a loving word dropped
into an aching heart ; ao sunbeam of
encouragement cast upon a strug-
cline life; no strong right hand of
fellowship reached out to help some
fallen man to his feet when none of
these things come to him as "God
bless you" of the departed day, how
he must bate himself. How he must
try to roll away from himself and
sleep ou the other side of the bed.
When the only victory he caw think

times rather than commit it once.
To Foe-toll the- Weather.
If the sun sets iu crimson clouds
and rises brilliant, or if the stars are
numerous and bright, we know that
in a general way we may reckon on
a duration of fine weather.
Dews and white rooming fog?, are .
signs of clear days.
I A dark and a vapory sun, and a
! sickly looking moon 'with blunt
j horns and a circle around her, or
! palid, big non-scintillating tin, are
i all signs for rain.
If the sun comes up pale and then
turns red. if tbe moon is large and
ruddy, with sharp, black horns, we
may count on wind.
The chicken weed is called the
"poor man's barometer," because it
shuts up its flowers when wet is ap
proaching. The aurora-borealis, when very
bright, forebodes a spell of htormy,
moist, unsettled weather.
A halo around the sun indicates
rain ; it is caused by fine rain or
mists in the vapor region of the at
mosphere. A halo around the sun often is
followed by heavy rain.
A halo around the moon is also
an indication of rain.
Lack of dew is another sign for
rain.
Sharp white frosts in autumn and
winter precede damp weather, and
these successive white frosts are a
sure and infallible sign of rain.
Previous to rain the nits bite
sharper and stick t us closer, and
liees retnat i in the hive.

Advice to a Yonaa; Man.
I thinV, my boy, that just about
your age is the time for you to learn
what you are good for. And when
you have found what it is, go at it
and stick to it I want to see you at
work.
"I have no secret," said Turner,
the great artist "but hard work."
"Nothing," said Mirabeau, "is im
possible to the man who can will.
This is the only law of success."
"There is but one method," said
Sidney Smith, "and that is hard
work."
"The difference between one man
and another," says Dr. Arnold, "is
not so much in talent as in energy."
And do you direct your energy in
one channel. Don't be diffusive in
your work. There is power in con
centration. A handful of powder
scattered on the ground makes a
great smoke when tired, but nothing
more. It is the few ounces com
pressed in the blast or gun-barrel
that counts for something when it
goes off. If you are a lawyer, a
physician, or a carpenter, and make
up your mind that you will know
as much about one particular line
or branch of yoar profession or trade
as any other man, you do welL
Because, if yoa know as much oa
aay point as any other man, surely
as the heavens are above us, you
will know more about it than thou
sands, and immeasurably more
about it than millions of other men,
and this makes you an authority.
Be ambitious as you will, but be
ambitious in one direction. You
can make any sphere of labor hon
orable. A good, honest man can
shovel sand with credit to himself
and profit to bis employer, and hon
or to his country. Many a good
blacksmith and harness-maker has
been spoiled by schools of law and
medical colleges; and let me tell
you, Telemachus, right here, that
society, your country, humanity and
God need good carehters and shoe
makers and stone-cutters, and farm
hands, more than poor preachers
and poor editors. If you have to
choose between a poor lawyer and a
good deck-band, be a good deck
band every time.
A Small Bet-inning-.
An Irish washer-woman who was
among the earliest settlers in Lead
ville, "Colorado, has succeeded in
amassing a large fortune by her own
industry. Her stock in trade when
she came consisted or a pair of tubs
and a wash board. She began busi
ness under an old pine tree on the
hillside, having bo means of hiring
a house. She soon, however, got
together with her own hands a rude
slab cabin, and as business was good
at two dollars and a half a dozen for
washing, she gradually began to
provide for her wants. She pot a
camp steve. and after furnishing her
cabin comfortably began to accumu
late money. The town began to
grow in the direction of her cabin,
and after awhile she employed la
borers to put p a log house. As
there was a grat demand for miners
boarding houses, the enterprising
woman concluded to abandon the
washtab and start a boarding bouse
in her new edifice. In the idea she
received great encouragement and
the house was opened with flatter
ing prospects. In this venture she
proved to be very successful, and
made money and saved it By the
growth of the city her honse finally
got to be in the very centre, and as
the streets were laid, it proved to
occupy a location on a very desira
ble corner. Business was new and
she continued to make money, which
she invested wisely. She bnilt
another log house and rented it
Then she put up a frame building,
which she rented before it was fin
ished. About this time sme of tbe
" land grabbers " disputed her title
to the land and tried to dispossess
her, but the old lady had so many
determined friends among the mi
ners that the effort was given up.
Several months sgo she refused an
offer of ten thoasand dollars for her
Eroperty, and since that time has
uift a two story block fronting on
a desirable avenue. She sti'l lives
in ber log house, bat intends to tear
it down and erect a two story block
in its place. When her improve
ments are completed she will have
an income of more than a thousand
dollars per month a pretty good
record of business success for an old
washerwoman, it must be admitted.
