LITTLE ELSIE.
Ah, don't come a-wooing with your long,
long face.
And your longer purse behind ;
I'm a bright young girl and I know my
place.
And I think I know my mind.
I like to lauch, and to dance and sing,
And to tease my parents dear.
My brothers call me a "tiresome thing,"
Aut they wouldn't miss me here.
Oh, 'tis I am my mother's heart's delight.
And my father's right hand brave.
Would I leave my home so free and bright
To be a rich man's slave?
Would I buy myself a gowu of silk
Id a grand dull house to pine.
When I have boys to play with and cows to
milk,
And the whole fair world is mine?
Ah, don't come talking of the cares of life;
My head is gold, not gray ;
And it's my desire to be no man's wife
At least, not just to-day.
Unt I've a heart and it's warm and true.
And I'll keep it safe at ease;
And if one I love should come to woo.
I'll give it when I please!
Dinah Mulock Crait-
THE CUAUUEL.
The brief March day was drawing
to a close, and the twilight, which
would probably light up country
hillsides for sometime with purple
softness, was already eclipsed in the
city with flaring gas-lights, and Lil
ian Graham hung closer to her
friend's side with almost a sensation
of terror.
" I had no idea it was so late, Ef
fie,"she said to Mrs. Wallis, her
II ,M 1 1 . 1
companion. " un, ao lei us flurry
home.
Don't be nervous," laughed mer
ry little Mrs. Wallis. "We're only
half a dozen blocks away from home
at the furthest. I like to be out in
the twilight once in a while, myself.
It gives one a spicy sense of adven
ture." J5ut Lilian was made of different
stuff. There was something clinging
and dependent in her nature, and
the growing darkness appalled her.
" Oh, 1 am so glad ! " she exclaim
ed, with a sudden, joyous intonation
of her voice. "Meredith Allston is
coming. He will see us safe home."
As she spoke a tall figure ap
proachedthe figure of a gentleman
walking rapidly down the 8treet.
with the lamp-light shining full up
on his dark eyes and regular features.
" Mr. Allston ! Meredith ! "
Uut, to Lilian's surprise, the gen
tleman took no notice of her hesitat
ing summons, but passed her, look
inr into her eacer. flushed lace with
the careless elance of unrecognition,
She drew herself haughtily up and
bit her hp.
" I might have spared myself the
trouble of speaking " she said, n
had only known that Mr. Allston
does not know his acquaintances in
the street ! "
' I dare Eav he was thinking of
something else," said Eflie Wells,
apologetically.
" But I cailed his name," persisted
Lilian, " and he looked me full in
the face !"
' Well you shall call him to an
account for it when he comes to
night." " I have half a mind not to see
him ! "
" That would be nonsense," said
sensible Mrs. Wallis. " Come along;
we shall be at home in two min
utes." Lilian Graham looked very pretty
as she sat in her father's drawing
room that night, with the 6oft light
from the chandelier streaming round
her slender figure. She was a
blonde, of that rare type of beauty
which boasts a complexion like
damask roses and hair of shining
gold in contrast, to eyes of the dark
est hazel, and the somewhat plain
face of Mrs. Wallis served as an un
conscious foil to set oft' her own
fresh young loveliness.
Mr. Allston's face brightened as
he entered the room a few minutes
after the little ormolu timepiece on
the mantel had struck 8.
" You are looking well, Lillian,"he
said, with something of the conscious
pride of proprietorship.
. Lilian bit her lip.
" You did not 6top to think about
my looks when I really needed your
escort this evening," she said, a lit
tle coldly.
He looked at her in astonishment
" I don't know what you mean,
Lilian?"
' Were you not on Sixth avenue
this evening between 6 and 7 ? "
"No ; I was not"
Miss Graham's cheeks flushed.
" Mr. Allston, I can hardly dis
credit the evidence of my own sens
es I I certainly saw you, and so did
Mrs. Wallis ! "
He looked pained, but offered no
further explanation of the mystery.
" Are you ready for the concert ? "
he asked.
u I have changed my mind." she
said, briefly. il I don't want to go J "
" Lillian ! "
The truth is," she said, raising
to her feet, and playing with the gold
chain which wart looped around her
neck, u I do not care to go out with
a centleman who see's fit to repose
so little confidence in me! "
Mr. Allston bowed his submission
to her fiat
Very well," he said, quietly ; " I
cannot, of course, dispute your deci-
sion. l wisn you a very gooa even-
" . .
But little Lilian round tbe hours
by the domestic fireside a little dull
after the departure of her offended
prenx chevalier.
"lwish 1 nadn t been so cross
with him," she said, shrugging her
pretty shoulders remorsefully. u Ef
fie, let's ask papa to take us to the
opera ; we shall be in time for the
last two acts."
" Just as you choose," said Effie
Wallis, who was not unaccustomed
to the sudden caprices of her prettv
little cousin's mind.
The Opera House was crowded,
and the party with difficulty found
seats at the back of the dress circle
but Lilian was hardly seated be
fore she pressed her cousin's arm.
" trhe, look there in the parquet
close to the orchestra stalls ! "
" Yes," said Mrs. Wallis, M I see-
it is Mr. Allston ; but that'B no rea
son you should pinch me black and
blue ! I suppose a man lias a right
set

to come to the opera if he chooses ! "
M I hope he won't see us," Baid
Lilian, in a tone which might easily
have been interpreted as directly
contrary to her words.
' He can't, unless he has eyes in
the back of his head," said Mrs.
Wallis. " Do keep still and let me
hear Santrello sing this delicious
solo!"
Lilian was delighted when she met
Mr. Allston the next morning on
Broadway.
"I hope you enjoyed yourself last
night," she said demurely.
" I can't say that I did,particular
ly " he answered with a smile. M I
spent the evening at home, over my
books and retired very early."
" I beg your pardon, said Lilian,
"you were at the opera, for I saw
you there ! "
"At what opera ( "
4FraDiavol6?"
"You are mistaken, Lilian."
" I am not mistaken," she answer
ed, positively. "I saw you there,
and Effie did, also. Where's the
use of trying to deceive me so? "
He colored, and for an instant
looked as if he would have spoken
hastily ; the next instant, however,
the cold quiet look came on his
countenance.
' I am not trying to deceive you,
Lilian ; but there are some things
which I cannot tell you ! "
" Engaged people should never
have mysteries from each other,"
she answered, indignantly.
" The mystery is not mine, Lil
ian!" " As you choose," she retorted ;
but I do not choose to me the butt
of your practical jokes any longer.
Please to consider our engagement
at an end ! "
" Lilian, do vou mean what you
sav?"
" Certainly I do ! "
She drew the glittering engase
ment rinir from her finger and tossed
it toward him, but he, standing
with folded arms made no effort to
catch it and it rolled down into the
gutter. And thus they parted, these
two, who had been affianced lovers
for so long !
The .weeks passed by Bleak
March softened into violet-eyed
April, and somewhat to Lilian's dis
appointment, perhaps, Meredith
Allston mae'e no further effort to
see her. She grew pale and heavy
eyed, but she would have died ere
6he would have sent to her lover ,say
insr. " I have been wrong come to
me once more ! "
For Lilian Graham persisted in
believing that Meredith alone had
been in the wrong.
She sat at the head of her father's
dinner-table one evening, mechani
cally devoting herself to the duties
of hospitality, when a well known
name sounded on her ear.
" Allston," said one, a pussy-look
ing old gentleman, who was eating a
great deal of lobster salad. " Yes, I
saw the notice of the death in the
morning paper. It's one of the All
stons of Gramercy Gardens Mere
dith Allston '8 cousin. He was hope
lessly insane, and no one ever was
him until of late years, when the
old gentleman insisted on having
him at home. He didn't believe in
asvlums. he sanl ; but he was so
sensitive on the subject he never al
lowed any one to know the poor
young man was at his house. A
fine looking young fellow, too; they
say he looked very much like Mere
dith. Got loose one night. I believe,
and paraded about town, behaving
himself so well that half the people
mistook him for his cousin ha, ba,
ha!"
And the old gentleman swallowed
half a glass of champagne, and turn
ed very purple in the face.
Lilian listened, feeling as if she
were in a dream !
This, then, was the secret of the
strange misunderstanding which had
parted herself and her affianced lov-
m, a 1 t sr 1 -
er. I he cruel secret wnicn iiereuun
Allston was obliged to conceal the
mistaken identity of the two cousins
had been at the bottom of her heart
wreck ! She could hardly sit through
the tedious courses of the formal
dinner party and rejoiced when the
time came tor herself and Mrs. Wal
lis to leave the table !
" Effie,' she cried, breathlessly, as
soon as they were alone, "did you
hear what .Mr. an ess said.'
" Yes ; isn't it a strange story ? "
her cousin assented. What a re
lief it mut be to the Allstons ! But
what are you going to do ? "
"To send for Meredith at once! "
Lilian answered, promptly.
"And confess yourselt to have
been in the wrong?"
" Yes, certainly ! "
Effie Wallis smiled and elevated
her eyebrows.
"Then you have more moral cour
age than I have ! "
But Lilian's heart secretly urged
her on and she could not rest until
she had summoned Meredith A1I
ston to her presence.
He came somewhat surprised, yet
not lacking in dignity.
" Meredith, she said softly, com
ing up to bim, "wm you iorgive
me? I have been wrong and hosty,
but I love you still. I never knew
until to-niaht of of the cloud which
overshadowed your household."
" I knew vou were misunderstand
ing me, Lilian," he said calmly, but
my lips were sealed by a promise
exacted by my father j
" Then you will forgive me ? "
He smiled.
" It is easy Co forgive one we love,"
he said, gently.
" Meredith," she whispered, " dc
you love me as you once did ? "
" My sentiments have undergone
no change, Lilian."
And the lover-like kiss he pressed
upon her brow was the sigual of a
newer and more auspicious be
trothal, whereof the mainspring was
perfect love and trust

Migration of Squirrels.
A Morgantown, W. Va., farmer
who was in Pittsburg last week, sta
ted that on the previous Thursday
and Friday thousands of squirrels
had crossed the Monongahela a
short distance above that town and
taken a northeasterly direction.
The entire village turned out to
witness the extraordinary spectacle.
Some were drowned in the passage
by the eagerness of those behind to
The relater stated that ia 1859
he had witnessed a much more ex
tended migration of squirrels at
Blennerhasset Island, near Parkers
burg, at the mouth of the Kanawha.
Said he : "I saw them coming oyer
in sholes and if I had been in the
way they would haye suffocated me,
so thickly did they run in masses.
They would have swamped an ordi
nary batteau. But the sight I saw
last Thursday and friday beat all
creation. Four weeks ago I started
out to hunt squirrels, and I didn't
get a single one. Last thursday I
saw thousands, and they were all
traveling northeast"
Lifting Persons bj the Kingcrs.
Two persons stand on each side of
a fifth who is seated in a chair.
The four raise their hands (which
are clasped with the forefingers ex
tended) as high as possible over
their heads, at the same time inhal
ing deeply. They then simultane
ously bow as low as possible (always
facing the sitter), bending the body
from the hips, and swinging the
extended arms from the shoulder
till the hands touch the knees, at
the same time exhaling as storong
ly as possible, these motions being
repeated three times together. As
they arise fron. the last position
for the third flme, the extended
forefingers are placed under the
knees and arms of the sitter and
he is lifted high in air as light as a
feather. In this way I have seen
four young school girls, under six
teen years, lift a man of ISO pounds
with no more apparent exertion
than would be required to lift a three
pound weight. To one who tries
this experiment for the first time
the result Is very surprising, Sci
entific American.
Vesna of Tbongbt.
New action is are the only apologies
and explanaions ol the old onese
which the noble can bear to offer or
to receive.
Public discussions are an
intellectual stamping mill, where
tbe worthless quartz is crushed and
tbe pure gold set free.
Be not penny-wise; riches some
times fly away of themselves they
must be sent flying to bring in
more.
There is no policy like politeness;
and a good manner is the best thing
in the world, either to get a good
name or supply the want of
it
W e ought not to loofc bade un
less it is to derive useful lessons
from past errors and for the purpose
of profiting by dear bought experi
ence.
Religion can no more be learned
from books than seamanship, or
soldiership, or engineering, or any
practical trade whatsoever.
So quickly sometimes has the

A Mathematical Masticator.
A pale man, with a high fore
head came into Booge's restaurant,
sat down at a table and ordered his
dinner. Then he took out of his
pocket a laige diagram apparently
covered with unintelligible signs and
algebraic lormuia anu iastenea h
with a nin upon the wall where he
could easily observed it When
his dinner came he looked it over
attentively, and then turned to a
profound contemplation of his fig
ures. After a while he began to eat
but with a great deal of caution and
reserve, as though he were afraid of
making a mistake or suspected the
biscuit of concealing a snag. Fre
quently he paused between the bites
and his lips moved as if in prayer.
I he latter illusion was dispelled,
however, by the occasional indistinct
pronunciation of the name of a nu
meral. He was evidently counting.
He chewed with his eyes fixed up
on the equations of tbe diagram.
There was a pale, bluish tinge about
his face, and he loeked billious.
His neighbor at the table hitched
his chair a little further away and
placed his hat where he could seize
it at a moment's notice. He sus
pected the new-comer f being a lu

his eye, started and inadvertently
swallowed his food. He seemed to
be very much put out by the occur

that way?" he demanded ; "do you
think I'm peculiar?" "Well, I did
think your manner a little odd,

Tbe Women of Constantinople.
If I were to have my choice of the
whole invoice I should take an Ab
ysinian brunette. They are divinely
tall and slender.and black as the ace
of spades. Their features are clearly
cut and regular, the eyes liquid and
the lips red and full. The hair is
black and waving, but somewhat
coarse in fibre. They dress in pure
white, and the black face and red
lips against the white setting of the
burnous gives an effect that is as en
chanting as a picture. The only
fault they have about them is their
limbs. Now, if any lady's limbs
may appear with propriety in litera
ture, it 13 the legs of a Turkish lady.
Turkish modesty never goes farther
than the knees. Both the trousers
and the feredje stop at that point,
and with the majority of women the
limbs and feet go bare. But the Ab
yssinian women seem to prefer go
ing barefoot, and thus betray the
one peculiarity that stamps them as
the daughters of Ham. Their ankles
are about as big round as a rolling
pin, and it is ankle all the way up
to the knee. The leg is set exactly
in the middle of the foot, which is
very low and flat This African
trade-mark is, as I have said before,
somewhat of a blemish, and tends to
lower the quotations for them with

A Historical Tavern.
It is not generally known, but it
is a fact all the same, that to day in
Alexandria, built around by a much
larger edifice, but still kept intact in
every appointment, stands the tav
ern or inn where the fat, red-faced,
brandy drinking Gen. Braddock
passed the night prior to his fatal
march toward western Pennsylvania.
The inn is a neat, well-built, and
thoroughly preserved building of two
stories, with dormer windows and
roof, and seems solid and good for
many years yet
When Braddock and his forces
left Alexandria, they did not march
over the road, but moved by trans
ports, and landed on the Maryland
shore near where the National ob
servatory now stands Twenty -third
street. To-day "Braddock's rock"
can be seen near the old canal in
that locality npon which the com
mander leaped from his boat and
superintended the landing of his sol
diers and equipments. From the
site of this city he marched by way
of Cumberland to their place of mas
sacre. Had Braddock been half as
prudent as he was brave, he could,
by acquiescing in the advice given
him by the "Buckskins," as the
Virginia militia were termed, have
whipsawed the French and Indians
in that campaign. But as it is it is
all the same, for he would have been
dead before this date anyhow.

Carrying the "Via Into Africa.
New York, Sept 2i. The Repub

to "carry the war into Africa."
Branch headquarters of the commit
tee will be opened at Nashville, and
efforts will be made to carry Tenn
essee, North Carolina, Mississippi,
Virginia, West Virginia, Louisiana,
and Florida. It is believed that the
"solid south can be broken"
Church Howe, a member of the
Executive Committee, will depart
to-morrow for Nashville to take
charge of the headquarters. He has
been selected for the duty on ac
count of bis organizing ability. The
National Committee has decided to
open a Southern headquarters owing
to the requests of thousands of
Southern Democrats who desire to
vote the Republican ticket A cam
paign of the most vigoroi.s descrip
tion will be waged in the Southern
States from Nashvelle under Mr.
Howe's direction. It is believed
such a headquarters will greatly
inspirit the Republcansof the South
and encourage Southern Democrats
to break away from the Democratic
party. Northern men will be sum
moned to the South to make speech
es. Mr. Howe will open the Nash
ville headquarters next Tuesday and
will haye the assistance of a large
number of clerks, whom he will take

Gather the I-'raguirnts.
Be an economist of time. Time is
money, and more than that. It is
the stuff that eternity is made of.
Be, therefore, misere of minutes.
We talk of " off hours," and " spare
moments," but we have nne to
spare. True, we need recreation, re
lief from the daily pressure of care.
Sleep cannot be safely abridged.
The tension of modern life, the rush
and rivalry of business make rest a
necessity, not a luxury. Overwork
is a sin against the body. We owe it
to ourselves and to others to keep
the body in its best physical condi
tion. We are gathering up the frag
ments by so doing. Proper relaxa
tion is a part of true economy ; but
the point to be remembered is th
value and significance of all our
hours as related to the aim of life.
This understood, we shall be frugal
tf our canty and lessening store.
Fragments of time saved will rap
idly accumulate wealth, material
and spiritual. Many valuable books
have been prepared in moments of
comparative leisure. In the gold
room of the Philadelphia mint there
is a perforated floor, through which
passes the dust of filings of gold, the
aggregate value of which is thirty
thousand dollars every year. This
is but a hint of the gathered wealth
of many men who have learned how
to husband minutes. Kind words
and deeds that take but a moment
of time may be like fruitful seeds,
the harvesting of which maybe su
perlatively rich in this life and in
the life to come. O, thw joy of mem
ory that comes from utilizing frag
ments of time ! Vorth more than
the sweepings of the gold room, they
enrich alike the life of him who
saves and that of him he serves. An
extra visit to thecloset. the improve
ment of some fugitive impression or
some passing acquaintance, may
start streams of beneficent influence
that will not only momentarily re
fresh and restore a wearied soul,
but leave permanent effect on char
acter. What we need is strong pur
pose, followed out by systematic and
persistent effort day by day. I!e
