Iear miss, you ask me to be yours. You say yon love me true, How ran I know that I dare trust My happiness to you ? They tell that poor careless heart Is eold and callous too ; And, if unfaithful you should be, Ah me, w hat should I do T Xay, do not squeeze my hand, nor kneel Kntrealingly to me, My heart you've won, I must confess. And yet it can not lie. For I've been told you wayward are, And love not faithfully. So I must bid you go, fair maid, 'Tin liest, you will agree. You gamble, miss, and drink, and smoke, I've even heard you swear ; I am too timid, I'm afraid. Too fragile and too fair. To be the mate of such an one, My life would be all care ; Your faithlessness and cold negloi-t I would not, would not bear. So let us speak no more of love, It pains me, as you see.. For, though you nwear you're constant yet I fear you'd tire of me. But we may still lie honest friends , You shake your head, mais oui ! Come, take my hand, I promise that I will a brother lie. '. LOVE CROWNED. MY IIKI.I.K MOSKS, Jeven rooms and a bath. "(iood locality; three Uighta up; steam heated. Inquire on premise," added Dorothea after announcing the above title with much impressment, ltosalie set dow n her coflee cup with an animation which threatened serious damage to frail china, while Kvelyn in her sunny corner looked up from the cluster of ferns she was painting, full of the liveliest interest. "That sounds very plauible," she observed, leisurely mixing two shades of green upon her palette. "What da you think of it, Dorothea?" "What do you think of it, It4salie ?" inquired Dorothea, parrying, as was her custom, one question with another. "Seven rms are really too many for our needs," said the prudent eldest sister ; "so much to keep in order with out a servanL" "Don't worry, we'll keep the plaee tidy somehow. Evelyn can dust on dark days when the light is poor for her pictures, and I during those black periods when inspiration fails, and so betwixt us Imlh, like Jack Sprat and his wife of ancient fame, 'we'll lick the platter clean,' " interposed Dorothea. "And with you at the helm, dear, we can't get stranded," remarked Evelyn insinuatingly. "Hut seven rooms, " grinned Ilosalie; 'and two are not always what they should be." "Don't flatter yourself that fate has reserved for us seven barns the feizc of this apartment," said Dorothea with fine scorn. "From Flora's description I should judge that an nverbuiidauce of space was not a leading feature of oure.nbryo establishment. Then I've calculated, with the necessary parlor, dining room and kitchen, a bedroom each maiden unto herself, and a little den where you can make your mud pies in peace, is not too much to tae Oare of, and 1 move that we set our seal .Si . 't: J..'. ' . " '' ".. ' upon r jora s m-cocry ua soon u p"t sihle." "I seeoiK t! n,otinn," cried Evelyn, springiug up wiUi alacrity. "Well, so lie it," said llosalie, with a resigned air, a she put on her hat. Aud so it was in less than a week The tljree sister with their- numerous belongings ha taken pnjsessjon, of their new piartefs, well stitjsfiei witlj the change from, thc d.u!l npmotnny if their fornjcrlife, It was 4 novel sensation to theae girl. to find theniselvea once more in a real substantial home, however small aud unpretending, for years since their mother's death they had struggled on in their dreary lodging, eking out their meagre income by a practical ap plication of their various Udell's. Kosalie fashioned cornices and artistic plaster moulding for the interior deco ration of buildings, while she waited for that golden opportunity for which she longed the leisure to model the figure of a woman that should only lack the breath of life to crown her perfec tion, a creation that should ixmscss more than thc sensual beauty which caused Pygmalion to fall in love with his own work. She wished to show the world a woman in all the glory of her nineteenth century development aud a foreshadowing of future possibilities. Dorothea wrote short newspaper articles, with her treasured novel hid den in her desk awaiting the few crumbs she win able to fling to It from time to time, some of her best thoughts probably, but in a crude state, just as they slipped off her ready pen. She had longings, too, though her ambition took no definite shape, like U'jsalie's. It was not one woman that she wished to picture, but men and women with out number, who posed in many posi tions lie fore the world. But all this would take time, which could ill lie spared when the monthly bills came down upon them like so many crows to pick the bones of genius. And Evelyn, a passionate lover of nature, was ambitious, too. She wanted to scatter the odor of gardens and fields through the flowers aud grasses she so skillfully painted. "If I should die happy," she would often saj, when her sisters or friendsexpress ed their admiration of some specially good effort, Meantime, the dainty creations found a ready market, and practical Evelyn went cheerfully on with her work, adding more than her share to the family exchequer and patiently waiting for the happy day when she might foam thiough the smil ing country utiojeL the L)u,e tiky and paint nature at her het, Aud such was the trio that settled dowu to enjoy life In seven rooms and a bath ! A truly remarkable family, one might say. Not at all. They were merely anxious each to reap the benefit of her one gift, and working truly for that end succeed., a earnest workers often do, and enjoyed with all the rest of youth the fruit of their labors. But the space waa cramped, "as Doro set ESTABLISHED 1827. thea predicted, and when genius sim mered it was apt to be brought to a sudden halt by some bodily bump, the result of persoual contact with odd corners and jutting angles. After a week's sojourn, however, in spite o various bruises and other mishaps of little interest to the uninitiated, they unanimously voted their miniature housekeeping a great success. "Even though Kosalie lets In pneu monia through all the windows or Dorothea goes to the otherextremeand smothers us with steam heat," com mented Evelyn, as the eat in family conclave, adding up accounts. "I must have it," said llosalie, with an expressive gesture of her shajH-ly hands, the firm, strong hands of the true sculptor. "And I my money's worth," put in Dorothea. "I hate to think of paying for seven rooms and a bath, steam heat ed, without enjoying the full bill." "There is Flora's knock," interrupt ed Evelyn as she hastened to open the door. "Well, girls, are you settled?" asked the new comer as she took her seat among them. "tjuite comfortably, thanks to you. There is nothing more to wish for locally," returned Rosalie. "The rooms, I must admit, have not the airi ness you so enthusiastically advertised, aud I am seriously afraid that the -pace in which I work would scarcely hold a fair sized model. "Ah, but you are only on arms and legs now, so don't croak," interrupted Dorothea. "You haven't finished the head, either, and you know how pro verbially long it takesa woman to have her hair dressed. The discussion of the style of the twentieth century eoitlure will take us months at least," added Dorothea wickedly. "Bangs or no bangs it's a serious tiling to lie im mortalized in clay. Rosalie picks us to pieces aud takes the best of us for her fell purposes. Your ears, Flora, don't they burn you? Evelyn's nose and my mouth which is my most un offending feature and so for the figure that will lie a composite production of her live hundred friends, a little of everybody beaten together and shaped in a fashion midway between a Venus and a Jeatiness Miller ideal." Rosalie Hushed ; she seldom spoke of her work, though Dorothea would bring it forward in every conversation, lieing immensely proud of her sister's talent. "We have a musical family below ns," said Evelyn. "And a menagerie alaive," put in Dorothea. "I think the Smiths stable their horses on the premises, such a trampling and going on from morning till night," "But the music, as I said before," pursui.sl Evelyn, undisturbed by the interruption, "sounds familiar. It's above the ordinary tone of apartments, and if the Everetts were not supposed to lie traveling abroad, I should imag ine indeed I should be almost sure well. Flora, have you what is the mat ter?" she broke otT inquisitively, as she saw Miss Westbrooke turn scarlet, evidently a prey to the most violent emotion. "No, no but, girls, do you know who does live just below you?" An expectant silence was her only answer. ' V Well, I really dhln't hear myself until yesterday; but v ill Everett and, lis sister, moveu) lit JJtit three days ago. They fringe huiue very suddenly and were settled before their friends even knew they had returned. Will is much changed, they say not sociable at all jike he used to he; pleasant enough when one can get at hint, but that i) Intrd., fT he ties h'mjself to. Is piano nowadays, you. Know. WH1 was.alwnys a good musician." Flora WcsthrnnHe had talked n for the sake uf tilling an uiuomfortab!o pause. H issilie had grown tpuite pule, and, rising, had gone to the window, where she stood absently drumming on the pane and looking down upon the busy street scene below. Dorothea's sharp tongue for once had failed her, and Evelyn gave a troubled sigh as she took up her brush . "How eould he have known !" she said in a low voice, glancing apprehen sively at the figure at the window. "Quite easily, if you will consider. Being interested, he inquires for the Misses Norton at their old home, finds them flown, obtains their address and, coining here presumably to call, sees an apartment vacant, puts otr his call, consults his sister, Mary, and they move in the Everetts were never lag gards, you know. That is, of course, merely a surmise of mine and may I e entirely incorrect; there is no telling, stranger accidents have happened. Did, you go to the; flower sho- yesterday ?' ftsked Flora, adroitly turning the eon. venation, and by degrees it drifted In to a more natural vein. Then present ly Rosalie joined the group and the little cloud had seemingly vanished. But when their visitor took her leave she was very thoughtful as she went slowly down stairs. Almost against her will she had been drawn into a plot which, however, innocent of guile, savored strongly of match-making She doubted seriously if she had shown wisdom hi allowing her hearl to run away with the strong common sense of i.flic-U she had such 4 goodly store, but it waa too late to draw kick, so she contented herself with shaking her head at the young man who stood watting for her at the front door. "It's a very pnor showing you have, Will, and very little I cau .say to en courage you," she began in answer to his eager, questioning face. "Rosalie is silent as one of her clay figures, and the other girls unusually reticent. They are simply unapproachable through any ordinary channel." "I do not intend ever again to ask Rosalie Norton to lie my wife return ed FveretV proudly.' .' shall force her lulcivv me.' HJy wil U strong enough. Tips time I shall oher th'rongh "no kpokei) wordand then when I am aurewell I cannot telL I could scarce ly answer for myself." "I think it is her art her desire to be famous that stands in your way," said Flora. "But her course U a mistaken one fie very fire that love kindled would light her genius." "A very practical way of stating the case, but n t up to the standard of MARCH 1, 1890. those practical girls. You are too idle, Will, if you will excuse my candor; some purpose in your life, however lowly would irresistibly appeal to them. Would you gain Rosalie's love you must work up to her notion of what a man should lie. You are a natural mu sician. Then why tlo you not stretch out those skillful fingers of yours and draw some of your wandering brothers into the path of harmony ? You have never known a want, (live to them that instruction the want of which has barred the world from some m ist per fect music; but there, I am moralizing, and you, no doubt, are wishing uu out of the way with my tiresome chatter. Well, then, good bye," and with a smile and nod Miss Flora Westbrooke went rapidly down the street.. "Aha ! my fine young woman," solil oquized Dorothea from an upcr win dow, "you tarried long enough to but ton a dozen gloves at the front door. Ileigho! There'll bet's) much fire without the steam heat in seven rooms and a bath."' But life went on apparently unchang edthough a close observer might have been aware of an intense undercurrent that stirred through the everyday homely cares. Rosalie spent long hours in her tiny work room, when she was not busied with the simple housekeep ing. She had now liefore her the most puzzling and the most interesting of artistic studies the modeling of a head that should portray her conception of physical and mental pwer combined with that moral beauty which would be strong, yet feminine ; firm, yet gen tle, generous, noble, loving, all in one. Day after day she lalaired, untiring in her earnestness, and with unflagging energy. Yet she was never satisfied. There was something lacking a cer tain softness, an indescribable touch, the want of which her quick eye at once detected, but she dreaded lest her hand should ruthlessly mar some sali ent point. She could not tell, with all her skill, just where the trouble lay, and after much perturbation felie called in her sisters for criticism. "Your f.ice needs color," announced Evelyn after a careful pcrutiny; "t.f course I do not mean the real applh-a-tion of pigments, but a certain life quality which makes you forget that you are looking at clay. I think now this is clever work of yours, executed with an accuracy of no common order, but I wouM rather recognize in this woman's head a divine inspiration, which I must say I cannot find here. Were it put into marble it would still and forever remain marble, it would never appeal to me as flesh and bliod." "Bravo! Evelyn, you argue well, from your eolorist'a standpoint," critd Dorothea, approvingly. "You are right d wrong, however. True, the color may lie lacking, but it is rather a soul tint than a flesh tint. Itsaiie's wo rn ;iu has never loved ; when .-he does, nono voyono. You see I study faces, too, quite as keenly and as critically as you do, and I know the symptoms" with a shrewd glance at her sister. "Now, Evelyn has given you the guidj and I the good, but, remcmlicr, it must lie love crowned with fulfillment which shall irradiate that face. Cupid npist not lie tlefrauded of his, lawful spoils," ami lirtheacscnpiHl with a laugh from tjhe reproach hp gaze the young seulpt- firsent after her, only to enjoy with redoubled zest the pretty romance she was weaving out of real life. A "true and true" romance grew under her ready jien though the climax. 0 the tale was withheld through fori-o of cireumstnees, and she watched the ti'tcnt hjt of (ive-inakii;f her imp-j. tieut spirit waxed wroth ul what she deemed a needless delay. Will F.verett kept his word and be t ween these two households, once on terms of intimacy, only the most formal calls were now exchanged. 1 1 is sister Mary did more of the visiting, for the girls held a oof and the young man de voted himself with great ardor to music. Dorothea, ever on the alert, soon dis covered that the sound of his piano traveled up through the pies of the steam register, and she also observed that while Rosalie still craved air at odd minutes, she often unconsciously lingered by the heater, drinking in the melody like one athirst. Such music as it was and she stood at times li-ten-ing with rapt attention. It slv:ii1 as if one soul were speaking to another, and the airs were plaintive, sad, wild, despairing, often with a happier touch of tenderness; never joyous, initial ways strangely lieautiful aixlj moving at lyut one listener until t lie tea is sto iit he; eyes ami, she was forjied, t lide her glowing face from, her sjstef's. penet fa ting gazo. frir alio loved him, she was sure of it now, though she had thought differ ently a short while back. But Flora was right. So earnest and full of pur pose in her art, it made her unhappy to sje him wasting his own great gift, and even as his love came swelling up in waves of harmony she would fly from the spell of it and return to her "mud pies" with redoubled vigor.

VyH's dayinji grew more desultory and dually erased almost entirely, and in atead of tile exquisite snatches which were borne to them from time to time the fine piano responded only to the tiresome round of 111 isieil A, B, Cs a some unskillful hand stumbled over the scales and five finger exercises. "Will is busy," said Flora, in answer to several discreet inquiries. "You see he is much interested in the erection of a free conservatory of music, and mean while he is teaching a few the first steps. It Ls very go.nl, of him, I am sure, for uothing could lie more painful to a ;c!l trained ear."

"It makes no difference to me. I have no nerves," said Rosalie. But a faint flush lielied her words, and under that calm exterior a rebellious heart was heating violently. It was a most annoying love affair to era the lookers-on and had n t Proviik'iic a intervened in the guise of an unlooked for accident the question might never have come to a final settlement. A quick ring at the hall bell brought R'walie from her workroom. Opening the door she found a shabbily dressed litle girl standing outside witli a small roll of music under her arm. "Mr. Everett lives down one flight," she said, in answer to the eager ques tion. "Take care of the stairs, it is rather dark." But her warning came too late. The child list her footing on the lauding and fell from the top to the bottom, while Rosalie, pale and fright ened, hastened to the rescue as fast as her feet could carry her. As she reached the motionless little figure and raised it in her strong young arms the door of the lower apartment was flung wide open and Will Everett stood iijk.ii the threshold. "Come in here," he said authorita tively, relieving her of her burden, and Rosalie followed him meekly. He laid the child upon the couch as tenderly as if he had been a woman. "She has fainted !' he exclaimed as he hurried tiff for some water. Rosalie lient over her anxiously and gently felt for any broken Nines. She gave a re lieved sign as Will came back. "I think it is only the shock of the fall, anil probably a few liad bruist-v' she said, rubbing one cold hand, while the young man on his kn-e beside her vigorously rubla-d the other. They then worked in silence until the little one opened her eyes and tried to til up. "Not yet Madge. You had a bad tumble and must kecpqtiict for awhile. I will go and tell your mother. She is an invalid," he explained to Rosalie, "and meantime Miss Norton will get you to lied. That is," he added, "if you do not mind. Mary is away, sp .'tiding a few days with Flora West brooke, and I am a dunce alsmt those matters. Just put her away in Mary's rxmi and rummage about there for aii) thing you may need. Call the maid if you are in trouble. I'll le back in a few minutes." Rosalie half smiled as he gave this volley of orders and made good his es cajie. Then with aglow at her heart; she could not understand, she set aliout her preparations. By the time Will returned her charge had lievu made quite comfortable in Mary's room. r hen ensued an awkward pause, dur ing which Risalie stood undecided whether to beat a hasty retreat or ac cept the situation more gracefully and exchange commonplaces with her quondam lover who sat carelessly twirl ing himself on the music-stool watch ing her with a dangerous light in his eyes. It was a crisis, they both knew, yet both were too proud or too obsti nate to force it by a word or glance. Tite situation could only have lasted a few seconds, though it seemed of in terminable length to pior Rosalie, who felt her defenses giving away, when Dorothea's voice outside and her per emptory knock a', the d.r lu"-uight the.u both to their, senses. She giant) sharply from one to the ther 114 !he came into the mo:u. "The m,-'ll f burning soup permeating tltnuigh seven rooms and a bath led Ui to investigation," she remarked.

Here Ls happiness staring you right in the face, and you dodge it as if it were some new form of plague. (Jo to! had children, and mend your ways !" Then, half frightened at what she had done, Dorothea turned and fl.-d. Rosalie walked hastily to the w in dow. Everett rose from his stool and followed her, and together, still in un broken silence, they looked out at the gray clouds and the wayward move ments of the first scurrying flakes, the heralds of the approaching snow-storm. Then suddenly, as by a common im pulse, their eyes met aud their ha'i.i and their lijis; but why repuU the v story.

That grand old patriot, statesman, physician, p!ii!'isop!ier, printer and tuiiiiitt, Benjamin Franklin, was the fli'sl person, perhaps, who showed to the World the wonderful possibilities of electricity. He it was who set scien tific men to th'.nking, and made it pis siMe to invent the telegraph, and everything cl.-e appertaining to electri city. Ikitihtlcss his researches in that direction had much to do with the message sent by Samuel F. B. Morse, when he finally completed his inven tion of telegraphy: "Wht hath Otsl wrought!"' When Mors; ascertained that he could send a message a dis tance of forty miles, from Washington to Baltimore, he imaghiv-d that he had arrived at 1 he very acme of dis-overy; and, it wa wonderful, even what he did, but, as compared with what the modern "wizard"' Edison can do, it was a mere nothing. If it were possi ble to create a "Falkensteill," Edison would Ik' called upm to make the at tempt. When telegraphing was known to tie an assured fact, capital ists throughout the country, of course, set about the erection of a line of tele graphic communication between the cast and the west, and the National pike, w hich had ln-en, and still was, the great thoroughfare, was naturally selected as the route to lie followed. Fifty years do ni.t seem long to look back 0:1 after they have passed; but, to look ahead, the time s.vms almost in tenuiuai.Ie; and the wonderful revolu tion that electricity has undergone in the !at fifty years since M'r-e invent ed the Uh graph in l"li, is almost ttSi.tUtf-'i to make old Dr. Franklin turn over itl his grave. Electricity is used iu i 1ar.1v ways t-diy, and inven tions are going to such an extent, that there is no telling w hat may be the re sult in the ner.t fifty years. The first line of telegraph erected n the pike was the first iii.e of .iy length erected in the world. The writer remetni-ers, although but a small Imy when the st-home was first talked of, in l'Sl'-i; and the wonder exhibited by the people as to the feasibility of the undertaking, and as to the manner of its erection, as to how it would look, and as to how it would work, are as vivid in his mem ory to-day, as when he heard them years ago. The const ruction of this line was entirely different from that of to-day, and the method of sending and delivering messages was nothing like that in vogue now. The piles, of course, were procured in the iieighlair hood, near the line, and were of chest nut, not so large, in the writer's opin ion, as those in use now. There was only one wire, or, rather, three wires, of small diameter, twisted into one. The piles hal a slot alxittt one and a half inches wide cut into the top, which had Ucii sawed square oV, alut two inches deep, for the puulators, w hich were ma'l,e tw til in the slot, or, rather, the tuu'te to fit the insulators. The iUiiikil.iri w ere about four inches long, and wete compised of a 1x4'.. no one, with a furrow in it, for the wire to lie in, and, a top ot vuvt-r. I5oth the top aiu Uji.hu of these insulators were made with a shoulder on each side, to prevent them from slipping, and which were fitted into a corresponding nick in the j!e on each side. Over the whole was fastened a metal cap, well nailed on. The wire waa reeled off a wagon fa the usual way, i-nd the wri ter remembers atvlng a man with great heavy gloves on his hands, saturatttl with some oily substance, allowiug tke wire to slip through his hand. v it was reeled off, thereby gi;eai;aj, or varnish ing it, w hile tt same time he re plcuLshyA, the substance from a vessel the wagon. The men did not seem to tie long in putting up Hie w ire, and, after all, the construction of it w as only a "nine days' wonder' to us. Peters burg being a nietrtplis in those days, of course, had to have a telegraph of fice, and a young fellow was went here to attend to it. He was called "Tele graph Jack," and was a "bigger mau that old ttraut,' or any otht r man, in hi UWH estimation, aud that of the ainall boy. He was "the observed of all observers," and a masher from away back; and the sweet looks and sweeter smiles he rcttdved from va rious and sundry of the fair sex, w ere a 'Caution to see. T,he Morse system of tcU-gfat'huig was i,u wm? then, which 'AW'.eu o an instrument through which a long ribbon of w hite paper rail, alstut one and a half inches wide, upon which the message was indited, in "dots and dashes," or some other characters, by the electricity generated by the batteries and instrument. The thing was as unintelligible to a uovice then, as the ticking of an, instrument is now. A great tWal 0 spoeolatiou was indulged ill hi regard to the tele ga;Ji. Even at this late day, anec dotes are told about some of the old farmers. An old fellow lived in Addi son township, who came to town occa sionally, and, as every b:aly was tell ing aliout the new telegraph, in stores, shops bar nanus or on street-corners, the old man could not help hearing Nut U- Ifrj nude inquiry of home one how the news was to Is earriisl , and was told that a small Isiy or small man was to ride along the wire to car ry the news. The old fellow wanted to know how the Iy would gi-t over the tojm of the pists, as he went along. He was told that the hoy or man would Kit his hands mi the tos of the pists and jump over them when became t them. He Ix-licvcd it. and, after look ing at the wire a w hile, he finally said: "tiracious goodness but won't it Is hard on the boy's pants!" The small boy had marvelous stories to tell how he had seen a whole drove of swallows sitting on the w ire, and how he slip up and threw a stone or a chili against the wire, and they all fell T dead. The other lov, w ho bnd li t witnessed any Mich performance, wis very envious lieeau-e he bad not thought of the story U-fore the tir-t boy told it. This telegraph line was not very well patronized, aid very likely it d'nl not. pay, as, after a lime the oilii-e was removed from Pet ersburg, and, shortly U-fore the war, the wire was taken down. Probably, tee-graphing was too fast fir u.-; bur, during the war we would have Un glad to have the line aain. Howeve , in lxio, the great Western L't.ion ran 1 line along the pik', a'ld some yea s later, the Mutual t'i::.:i ran its lit along also; aud how we have tl twelve wires strung on magmfiit; t cedar piles, recently put up, all 1 one set of piles Th" old pike also hi s a telephone line extending from I'nioi -town, by was of Me.rkley-burg, Some --fit-id and Petersburg, to the Marylat. 1 line. Smiethiiig has Urn said in the-e paper aU.ut slavery along the iiordcr, in Maryland, and how the slaves would occasionally run away from their masters, who would follow, and, under the fugitive slave law, could take them any where they could find them, without danger of molestation, and w ithout requisition papers requir ed to take white criminals. A few years liefore the war it was 1:0 very un common thing to ste slaves, or at least, colored p-rsoiis, traveling along the pike; and, if tin-re were no white per son along, aud ti.ey could give no satis factory aci-oiitit of themselves, they were taken up. and returned to their masters, if any could ! found.
