It was a very small house in the heart of a crowded city, and yet, small as it was, three families made a home there. The first floor, and the one that brought the most rent, was occupied by J ami's Saunders, retired sea captain, who was supposed to possess a gold mine, at the very least, and who had undoubtedly "feathered his nest" well in many yean of prosperous voyaging. Thc basement floor was distinguisluHl by a sign over the d.xir, and a shop window, wherein were displ.iyi.il the wares of a grocer Cieo. Davis on a very small scale ; a grocer who bought by tiie basket and box, and sold by the half peck and pound. Upstairs there was only one story alxive thc iirst floor Nanette lived with her mother, Madame Hillien. Nanette had been ten years in America, and was employed by a milliner, who made good use of Nanette's nationality when her customers suspected Iter tf being anything but a French milliner. Madame Hillien was ye-1 low and wrink led and wore an old aaciiue of dingy colors over a black silk petticoat, and a cap of elaborate construction over very rough, gray hair. Nanette was a char brunette with eyes black as sloes and soft as velvet, cheeks like the luartof a crimson rose, teeth like pearls, and the triggest little figure ever balanced on two pretty feet. With scant means and her French tastes Nanette was always well dressed. Her print gown luted her to a nicety, her hair, glossy and abundant, was always arranged becomingly, and there was never any thing tumbled or soiled to mar Nanette's toilette. Two men, at Ica-t, adored Nanette : (Jeorge Davis in heart-sick silence; Captain Saunders with the audacity of wealth and position. Captain Saunders sent always to Madame Hillien such preserves and fruits as opened wide the eyes of the favored few invited to partake of them. He had always a friend iu port, just arrived from Italy, from Culia, from Liverpool, from China, from any point where the longanii of commerce pushes her vessels; and these friends would always have foreign tlaintie-s to tempt the gold from the purse of the generous captain. It was whispered that fabrics only suited for feminine we-ar, jewels, fans, trinkets also came to the captain's room, but of tliese he said nothing, lloxe-s of oranges, jars of ginger, lioxes of macaroni, tempting morsels from all lands were carried up the flight of stairs to Madame Hillien, but of India muslins, Canton crejKs, Pon's silks, rings and bracelets the captain said never a word. Still the face of George Davis grew longer and paler day by day, as the sight of his rival's prosperity was forc ed njion him. It was true Nanette loyally purchased every pound of tea and peck of iotatoe9 at the grocery in the basement and presented her cash with the smile of an angel. True', too, that she never passed the grocer with out a smile and sometimes a little blush. For the grocer was only three and twenty, with a blonde beard and eyes as blue as a patch of summer sky, while the captaiu was nearly sixty, with grizzled red hair, a skin like mahogany and eyes of no special tint, unless it was sea-green. I5ut the captain had a long bank account that could woo gal lantly and loudly, while the grocer only spoke with his eyes, and wondered vagtuly how long two could live upon profits that were half starvation for one. She is so pretty! the young fellow thought, whh a sigh ; no wonder she likes to ride with the captaiu in the park, while I am tied to the counter aud cannot even afford to hire a boy to roll in the barrels. I could not send a basket home if a custonie-r asked it. Hut fortunately the customers were of that class that never trust a market basket out of their own bauds. Still, as they were very exacting as to the, largest measure for the lowest prices, that balanced the matter. It was not a very flourishing grocery store, for the goods were of the cheapest description, and the profits were very small ; and o.ten when the sUck had to be replenished, George Davis wore patched shoes and the shabbiest of clothes. It would delight my heart, Nanette said once to her mother, if I could one.; get my two hands in the linen closet of Monsieur Davis and repair his collars anil cutr. They are frayed. Oh ! with uplifted hands how shabby they are ! You had tatter look at something else than the cufls of Monsieur Davis, said Madame Hillien, severely. In my country maidens do not look at young men. Hut mamma, when I must look at him every day how can I but see him? Do I not buy of him sugar and tea aud all that we have to eat ? If you were wise you would not be compelled to buy food in a little store like that Listen, Monsieur the cap tain has told ru J that if he m irries he will b.iy the whole house ! Hat we are comfortable in three rooms. llah! We live! But confortable? You have no sense, Nanette! Twice already has the captain spoken to me. You will lose him. set ESTABLISHED 1827. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1890. Let him go ! I have my work and we have $"00 in bank. Why should I marry an old horror like that ? He Is not horrible. No, you are right He is kind and good, and I am sorry he will love me when I cannot love him. liut, why? Ah, why? said Nanette, shrugging her pretty shoulders. Hut she ran then and tagan to concoct a marvel ous omelet for supper, singing in a loud clear voice, so that her mother could not make her hear from where she sat in an inner room. Why ? not a word of love had the young grocer spoken. though his honest eyes told his adora tion; but Nanette knew that she always had the choice of the market set aside for her, and there wj always a little overweight of all the choicest things in her basket. Hut the attentions of the captain soon became a burden ; not because of his persecutions, but because Madame Hil lien became fretful aud exactingon the subject. It was all foolishness on Nanette's part and no mod est girl re fused the huxtiand her mother olferetl her, she said. Hut Nanette had been too long in America, though she was but 22, to give up her freedom of choice for any old French custom. Here girls choose their own hus bands, she said. And Madame Hillien screamed : You would offer yourself to him? Not so bad as that, mamma, though this is leap year, said Nanette, for lS'.MJ was but a few days old. Leap year ! Ah you are a bold girl ! Hut Nanette was not bold, aud her tender heart was sore over her lover's silence. He was her lover ; of that she was sure ; but he was poor, so very poor and neiilcd a wife to help him grow rich. How she could help him ! How she would save iu housekeeping-, and make his clothes last twice as long, and tidy up the rooms the open diKir show ed to be so forlorn. She was a true woman, this little Nanette, longing to give loyal service where she gave royal love. Hut he would not speak. It is already two ye'ars we have been in the house, Nanette thought, and I know he loves me. Something wonderful happened just at this time. There was an old uncle iu France, a close fisteil miser, who had refused often and often to help his widowed sister by so much as a pinch of stilt, and he died, leaving to Nanette a sum that made ten thousands of American dollars. It fairly stunned the little milliner. To be so rich as that, when and here a choking sob came into her throat when the man she loved had not a good cmt to his Iwck, though he worked faithfully to earn one. Nanette griev ed over her access of fortune as much as she rejoiced. She shrewdly susticct ed the ciuse of George's silence, and knew that this legacy would be an other tar between them. Already her mother was talking of moving into a tatter ncightarluMHl and more commo dious apartments. The captain had offered his congrat ulations, rather ruefully appreciating the weight of this new phase of affairs. I was sure of the mother, bethought, but now I am not so sure. It was dusk when he rattleil the key in his own door, and did not see a tall figure near him, until a familar voice in the darkness, said : May I leave the keys of the basement with you, captain? Hey, what? You are going away? Ye-s, I am going away, said George Davis, very sadly. I hope you will ta very happy. Oh, you do ! Praj-, what is there to make me especially happy, just now? Then Gturge flashed out. If such a woman as Nanette were go ing to marry me1, I should not ask that question, and something su-piciously like a sob ended the sentence. Who told you I was going to marry Nanette? Madame Hillien. Then she to a ahem? she made a serious mistake. Nanette has refused me distine-tly on separate occasions. S the way is open to you. Ah, no ! I am so jxKir, you see. I have no capital to start anything, aud I can only scratch out theUirest living. And now this money has come, No! I will go away ! You see I love her so much, I cannot stay longer. My he-art is breaking. Odd confidence! Well, yt-sfTTuTl think it must have leeii thc dark that opened their hearts to each other. They were such honest, childlike hearts, tath of them two great, bearded men. I am quite sure the dark was unan swerable for what followed. George was leaning against the banister when he said : My heart is breaking. Suddenly there was a little soft rustle above him ; then he felt two arms ste-al round his neck, a soft cheek touched his, and into his ear stole a whisper: Don't go away or you will break my heart, too ! The captain's door opened with a jerk and shut with a bang, but I do not think those two at the foot of the stair case heard it What did they say? Ah, who can repeat the rapturous speech of one ; the shy whispers of the other. Hut one thing Nanette said at least, as they went arm in arm up stairs to confront Madame Hillien. You will not Ml anybody,, will you, George', that I propose to you, though it is leap year ? Never, was the emphatic reply. Madame Hillien cried and laughed and was none too well pleased, but af ter all, she loved Nanette, and she gave George her hand at last, and a mother ly greeting. But the strangest part of all was yet to come, for the captain made Nanette a wedding present of all the finery he had purchased especially for her, and then offered his heart and hand to Madame Hillien. He bought the whole house, too, and a brand new grocery store was started next door with a por tion of Nanette's money. The neigh bors always knew it was the widow the captain was courting, and it would be dillicult to say which household is the happier, that of jolly Captain Sannders and his wife, or that of honest George Davis, grocer, and his pretty Nanette, THE PHILOSOPHY OF CLOTHING A PAPER WRITTEN AND READ BY KKV. T. J. I1RISTOW AT A RECENT MKETINU OK THE SOMERSET MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION. As mankind receives the true re-lig- ion of Jesus Christ, and advances in civilization it gives attention to cloth- ing. We are not now ta consider what might have tacn, if primeval innoe-euce had been maintained, and other erudi tions also equal. The clothing of the hu man body in a becoming manner is not merely a command, but almost an or dinance of God. It was distinctly or dered that the priests officiating in the ancient Jewish Church which was of God's appointment, were not only to have a person without mutilation or defect, and to ta strictly clean, but al so decently i-Iad. Later we find the same thing In a much higher sense'; for when our Ixird healed the demon iac, it is stated that "he was found sit ting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind." loiter the apostle Paul, while speaking of the Christian's desire to ta with Christ, says with wonderful chastity "not that we would ta unclothed but clothul upon that mortality might ta swallowed up of life." In the "Apoctdynse" the garments, symbolical of course, of the Messiah, are described minutely as "clot heel in a garment dipped in blood." When the end shall come to terre-strial things, thc finality is dcscrilied as the folding up of a vesture. There is in all this something suggesting thought, so that ataut clothing there is a deep philosophy. No picture of the home of the re deemed is complete without the "white rolie-s." We would s:ty then that God intended the human lody to ta clad to meet all the requirements of modesty. It goes without saying that different nations have ideas with re-gard to this as far as the east and we-st asunder, but the requirement holds good notwithstanding. The "Orientals" say that trousers for in. n are not modest, the fast and loud of this and other nations say that bloom ers for women's wear are quite con sistent. "The human form divine," as it has been aptly called, may not in its nudity as in the work of the si-ulp-tor incite to evil thoughts, but the half clad figure with its exaggeration and distortion of tlress often will. We have not the time here to discuss the nude in art, except to say that where the art is real and pure we have no ol- jection; we must, however, deprecate the growing practice of inserting in liook and periodicals photographs of the nude human form. It is a shame and disgrace, pandering sis it docs to a prurient curiosity, and to the baser part of our nature. The purer the mind and the higher the typ; of liv ing the less there will ta of evil and sensual suggestion in the dress of boih man and woman. To the pure it may ta said "all things are pure;" but it isa!o true that we are to shun the appear ance of evil; and Sliakesieare, the world's greatest philosopher, well says in "Julius Caesar" "who so firm that can not ta seduced!" The best in- tinct will lead us to dress so as to avoid singularity and that it will be more or less iu harmony with our call ing. It would not ta heresy f r a minister to deck himself in all the colors of the rainbow, but it would not add to his reputation as a man of torn- nion sense. Obviously the railroad conductor, the stcamlsctt officer, the mechanic, and all of any calling, should wear clothes in harmonv with it. We here affirm that it is in good tate', and tatter iu every way for a minister of religion to wear a gown while conducting public .services. Calvin and Luther both preacheil in the Geneva gown, and it would ta bard to imagine either of them preach ing in an eve-ry day business suit of clothes. The clothing we as ministers wear is some times iil-litting, shabby or carelessly arranged, nnd with tin rostrum now to preach from instead of a pulpit, there is often need of a de cent covering. I know that the best of sermons have been preached by the tast of men, without these accessories, but the carelessne-ss or inadvertence of a preacher's dress has often spoiled, for the hearer, a gtxxl sermon. The dis play of jewels or expensive: garments in a church is vulgar, and hurts the cause of religion. A true woman, who can afford tliese things anil ought to have them, will wear a plainer garb to church, and display the costly articles at social functions. A pastor of a well- to-do church in a city in this state1, re- questetl the women of his congrega tion not to wear jewels or costly gar ments ou Sabbath evenings, as he wanted to get at the working jiecplo; his request was complied with, the re sult being that many people in hum ble circumstances came to the serv ices, and good was done. There is much often that is pathetic in the story that well woru and mend ed garments tell of patient industry aud severe economy, even to the point of self-denial and heartache. There are noble wives, who in the endeavor to make a meagre and insufficient in come go as far, in app-'arane at least, as a more liberal one, show more heroism than any soldier on the ti-ld of battle. In direct contrast t- this is the fop, who makes himself a lay figure to display the latest fashions, of whom it may ta said, to use the words of Beecher, "that such doubtless have souls, but the guardian angels must ta keen-sighted to disevrn them. Iu connection with the dress worn iu all ages there has lie-eii much mean ing. We think, however, that the least form of real pride is that of dress. There may ta the ranke-st pride and a raggeil coaL The writer was oucj hospitably entertained by a farmer in a distant county, who was a man of real wealth. His clothing could not have represented in real value a quar ter of a dollar.

A good preacher, a candidate for an important vacant charge, did not re ceive a call, tae-ause he went into the pulpit with low shoes, and scarlet siK'ks.

The world is more or less influenced by the philosophy of clothing, and we know that a neat apiiearauce makes a man a gentleman, however jioor, and that a slovenly garb will make a man a bore, however rich. It was quite natural for the woman who told her friend, "I have dreamed about you !" that the reply should be: "Oh, did you, and what dress was I we-aring !" To "clothe the naked" is a part of our Christianity; the salvation of the soul is styled a garment. "He has clothed me with the garment of salvation." There Is more in clothing then "than is dreame-l of in our philosophy." O lr idea-" of chastity and comeliness, are founded upon it.

In one Lincoln says : "It cannot ta told how it now thrills me with joy to hear you say you are far happier than you ever expected to ta.' That much I know Lsenoush. I know you t well to suppose your ex pectations were not, at least sometimes, extravagant, and if the re'ality exceeds them all I say, enough, dear Lord. I am not going tayoml tiie truth when I tell you that the short sjkuv it took me to read your last letter gave me more pleasure than the sum total of all that I have enjoyed since the fatal 1st of January, 1S41. Since then it seems to me I should have Iven entirely happy but for the never alisent idea that there is one (referring to Miss Mary Todd) who is still unhappy, whom I haveeen trihuted to make so. Th.it still kills my soul. I cannot but reproach myself for wishing .to ta happy while she is otherwise. She aevompanied a large party in the railroad cars to Jackson ville la-t Monday, and on her return spoke so th:;t I heard of it of having enjoyed the trip exceedingly. God ta praised for that. One thing I can tell which I know you will be glad ta hear, and that is that I have svn Mary and scr;itini.ed h.T fe-li:igs as well at I' could and am fully co.ivine--1 s'.u is far happier now than she has been for the last 1 mniths pist" Eight months after Sjieed had mar ried, Mr. Lincoln wrote him : "Hut I want to ask a close question : "Are you;now in feeling as we-ll as judg ment glad you are married as you are? From anybody but nu this would ta an impudent question not to ta tol erated, but I know you will pardon it iu me'. Please answer quickly, as I aim impatient to know." Mr. Lincjlu's object in asking this "close question" is m mifest. Mr. Sped gave tha answer quietly and satisfac torily, and on the 4th of November, 1SJ2, o!ia m tilth exactly after the ques tion had been submitted, Mr. Lincoln was married.

" My boy used to ta a gixsl boy ui. til he tagau ta drink." It was pxr old Bridget Murphy, of No. .V1 East Fourteenth strei-t, win was talking. She was t-ayiug it lo a nurse in Charity Hospital on Pluck will's Island l:t-t Sunday. The film was slowly closing over xxr old Bridget's eyes. She couldn't have been sorry to die; Pr she had little to live for. Her lines hail fallen for many years in bard and cruel places ; made in finitely harder by the thought that she bail nursed and tended and hives! the tay who iu one of bis drunken outbursts of passion had pounded and kicked and tauten her till she was a pitiful six-chicle, of wounds and bruises, and was taken oil" to the hospital to die. And now that it was all ending a tragedy ju.it as sorrowful and sugges tive as if Bridget Murphy had been born in the purple and had lived iu luxury the grim fate that had follow ed her softened for a moment am! let in upon her failing sight the light cf a tender mem ry. "He was a g'xvl tay," she said, "until he began lo drink." It was i-.fter he "tagan to drink that Martin Murphy ceased "to ta a gsxl boy." Firt he taeame a burden to his mother, compelling her to furui.-h him money f..r drink out of her small earnings as a laundress. Then be tagan abusing her iu bis drunken tils until, as the pxr old woman moaned there iu tiie l.'ispital, "he became a peT-fee-t devil." So when gixjd old Bridget Murphy, on the i.ight of September 2, in the kindness of heart the kindness and gentleness which as national char acteristics outshine even the pro verbial elixjticncc and KTsuasiveiiessf the Irish people offered shelter Ll her own home to some disixjssessed neigh bors, this lxy Martin, utterly worth less thr.iugU the idleness that attends on drunken habit", made vicious by the associate which they entail and bristling with the brutality en gendered by fiery potations rose up and d.-manded that they should ta jeeted. I'pon his mother's refusal to comply with the order of the drunk en brute, he turned up n her, lx-at her aud kicked her and so maltreated her that when found later she was covered with wounds, with one of her ribs broken, and unconscious. And he used to ta a "gixhl tay,'' t!iesxr old woman moaned as she lay dying of his brutali ty "until he tagim to drink." So Bridget Murphy is dead, and Martin Murphy, the "g-xsl tay until be began to drink," is in prison wait ing ta ta tried for killing hLs mother. In East Fourteenth street iu the neighborhood of Avenue A, where Bridget MarpVy lived, and by hard days' work made a homj for Martin Murphy, her son, arid furnished out of her earnings money for Martin lo sp. :,d in the p'lp-hase of drink, which made a brute of him an ! t.xk a!! piry out of him ate! sent him home at night ready to kib ck dwn and kick into a shapeless jvily the tast and piobahly the only r.-.d friend he had on earth, there are from three to four place's in a block where "the p r man" can get the drink which was the one necessary of Martin Murphy's life. "T lie xxr man" can get it at every hour of the day ain! night, and until Commis sioner IX xiscvelt tagan his high-handed interference with the iitarties of cit izens by directing tiie enforcement of a law which the same citizens had en acted, could get it at all hours for seven days in the week all the year round. The law doso! th.-m on Sundays in order that good tays like M irtin Mur phy might have a few hours rest from drunkenness and brutality, and that go-id, hard-working mothers like Uridgct Murphy might have a little rest fr.mi the cruelty and hard blows intlicted on them by their own good boys who had learned to drink. But when the law was enforced Martin Murphy's personal litarty was in fringed. "The jxxir man's c'uta" three or four of them to a block where Martin Murphy was accustom ed to .-(.end his waking hours diligent ly training himself ta a mental and physical condition in which lie could go home and U-at his mother into in sensibility, were shut up to him. Mar tin Murphy was doubtless angry. So also was the distiller into whose coffers Martin Murphy's mother's money fell.
