DRESDEN TKAY.
Waat Caaa of Unresisted Temptatioa to
Deceit.
IIY MRS. XAXME DI TTOS 1TRDV.
In vain SiUr Katharine had pro-
-- witu well-nieant advice a. to
loolish pride. Lucia had decided that
sne could uot go to Mildred's birth-day
party, and felt very miserable. Katha-
rmecould not understand, she thought;
it was not ai thouKU Mildred had liv-
ejin tne same town with thtru and
known theiu Ufore papa failed, She
and Lucia had met last winter at Aunt
Margaret's, where evervthiusr was
lovely; when, thanks to Cousiu Elea
nor's cast-ofTs rearranged by mam
ma s and Katharine's cunning fingers
J-ucia had had pretty frocks aud
thiugs.
Aunt Margaret herself did not know
how it was at Lucia's home, and the
girls Lucia met naturally thought her
one of theniHelves. Tiiey c;uld not
know that Aunt Margaret never let her
Uiece tieiid a cvut while going around
with them, but Kki Lucia's share of
all their treats, sayiug that it was her
right, since he was not young enough
to go around with Lucia herself.
ISut now there was not a dress left fit
to wear, and the girls at the party
would all be robed like young prin
cesses. No! she could not go, and she
could send a remembrance, even, that
she was not ashamed of. I5ut, having
written to Mildred, she must now mail
the letter and look about in the shops
for something to send her something
cheap enough for her purse.
As she was slipping down stairs
Katharine ojiened her door.
"Lucia, I have a dollar," she began
sympathetically, "aud perhaps, with
what you have"
"Oli, nor Lucia turned and harried
down; but Katharine saw that her sis
ter's eyes were brimming.
"I'oor little soul!" she m irmtired
softly.
Lucia drew a little sigh as she turn
ed into the main suopninsr-struet:
what in the world could she buy with
a single dollar for one who had every
thing a girl could wish? Aud just
then, as if in mockery of her strait, the
beautiful windows of "Stevenson &
Co., importers," shone out before her,
wiUi theirexuisite display of sUtuary,
bronzes, carved ivory, delicate wares of
Infinite variety, the beauty of which
had made the firm famous.
"They are the sort of things that
people give Mildredr' said Lucia, in
wardly. "They're the only kind that
rich girls expect to receive."
r?he had stopped, and her gaze
searched among the smaller articles,
scattered on rich-tinted cuslrons.
"Maybe they have something that I
could get, and it would hi sure to hi
dainty, aud have their name on the
box!"
Brightening under this consoling
thought, she entered the store. A
kindly-faced old man laid on the coun
ter the prettiest, it seemed to Lucia, of
all those pretty gimcracks, with their
horrible prii-es attached. She would
not limit him just at first, she thought,
"a dollar" sounded so poverty strick
en! and how could he know that she 1
had only one in her pocket? He saw
only her admiring young eyes, and
sought to gratify them.
"These pretty goods," said he, lay
ing out several dainty eomb-aud-brush-trays,
"were just received.'
"Oh!" cried Lucia rapturously, and
drew one to her. "Dresden! what a
beauty!"
She turned it about lovingly; every
posypetal on it appealed to her. This
was what she wanted to give Mildred!
"Twelve dollars," observed the old
gentleman, blandly reading the priee
mark, while Lucia's heart sunk. "Yes,
that is a favorite ware with the ladies,
but fragile, "This now," he drew a
box from the back shelf and opeued it,
"was broken in coming to us, perhaps
the prettiest ol the lot"
Lucia gave a little gasp of pleasure
and regret The tray was indeed of a
rarely beautiful design.
"Might it not be mended?" she ven
tured with a half-covetous little tug at
her heart What would she not give
to send one like this had been to Mil
dred! And here it lay, useless.
"Possibly," said the old gentleman.
"it wa with that notion that one or
tbe clerks set it aside; but it is broken
in three pieces, you see it would be a
delicate job-"
An idea flashed on Lucia. The per
plexity of her emotions had by this
time wrought such confusion in her
mind that she caught, for relief, at
straws, without noticing the danger of
her ground.
"Would you sell it?" she almost
whispered, broken, as it is?"
"Wuv," answered the old gentleman
smiling; "I don't know. We gave it
to one of the clerks." He called to
youth at a rear desk: "Arthur! What
will you take forthU broken Dresden
tray? A young lady wishes to buy it!"
HJh," said the young man, good
naturedly, without looking up, "she is
qiiite welcome to it, Mr. Stevenson, if
she thiuks she can mend it!"
Lucia hastily unclasped her purse;
she was anxious to have it over and
done with.
"Would a dollar" she faltered, ner-
roxsly.
"I'ardon me," said the old gcutle
raan, as he wrapped the box, "it is
probibly useless; I'm sure you are wel
onae!" and having tied the package
be laid it In her hand, motioned back
tUe money, and politely bowed her out
Her cheeks burned as she faced the
crowd of the street; not for having ao
ys4ed what had been kindly pressed
upon her, but through shame at her
first step in a course from which all
bar Wetter nature revolted. Yet any
thing that did no actual harm to any
one, she weakly told herself, was better
than the humiliation of disclosing her
penury to those girls, who, from birth,
had known nothing but wealth; who
bad taken her to heart as one of them
selves, and whose pleasing delusion re
garding her would be forever disjielled
t a feign of shabbiness. Their-criticisms,
their woudering comments
ahe cauld not b?ar the mortification
SOMERSET,
of them; she, who, with only.the means
would be so generous! Bhe hurried
down to the express office. It was
mean; she knew it; she felt that the
clerk read the cause of her flaming
cheeks, aud eyed her queerly as he
handed her a pen; but she addressed
the box to Mildred, hesitated, wrote in
the comer "Handle with care" and
paid the expressage.
Of course Mildred would think that
it had been broken in transit, and le-
tweeu a hysterical sense of satisfaction
and terror at her deed, she went home
to her roon, and found Katheriue
there, waiting for her.
"Mamma and I have a plan by which
you can go to the party, Lucia, an
nounced her sister, cheerily. "We
couldn't let you miss it, after Aunt
Margaret had sent your car ticket, too;
so we cudgeled our wits, and mamma
is ripping her white brocade skirt "
"Her wedding-skirt!" exclaimed
Lucia. "Oh, I couldn't let her cut
that up, after her keeping it so careful
ly packed all these years! She loves it,
aud it would be ruined!"
"Never mind," Katharine bobbed
her head emphatically, "we talked it
over; it was only the sentiment, any
way, and it's better to have some good
out of it; she wants you to have it I'll
fix my pink crepe scarf in an Antoin
ette fichu for you, and you can clean
your slippers and your gloves. You'll
dress at Aunt Margaret's and her maid
will see to you. And I'll write to Mil
dred at once,"
There was nothing left for Lucia but
to lend herself to the disposal of her
mother and sister, and to keep her feel
ings as much as possible to herself.
After Katharine's sympathetic inqui
ry "I hope you found something to
send, Lu?" her two sympathizers, at
tributing Lucia's evasive reply and her
disturbed look to the unavoidable in
significance of her gift, made no furth
er mention of it
After industrious preparation Katha
rine saw her oir on the next afternoon's
train. Aunt Margaret had driven
down to meet her.
"You dear child!" she cried tucking
the rugs around them, "I was in such
a state wheu Mildred came to me with
your letter this morning; I felt so sure
of your coming that I had fixed a pret
ty surprise for you! Just wit and
see!"
The "surprise" was spread oa the
bed in Lucia's room when she entered;
white drifts of organdie over silk, with
shimmering loops and knots; and be
sides it, a gauzy fan, with white slip
pers aud gloves, aud a long pi-tteb nr 1
box, deliciously fragrant Maggie, the
maid, delightedly raised the top.
"It's whole hun'eds of violets for
thini ribbin-bows, mem! I'm to piu
thim in afther dressiu' ye, meni!"
Almost Lucia forgot the present that
she had sent to Mildred, until later,
wheu she alighted at her friend's home
The old pangs of conscience smote her
as she stepped within. How could she
look Mildred in the face? Mildred, so
high-minded and true!
Hut somehow she did not feel so bad
wheu Mildred, catching sight of her in
the hall, came out and sliped with her
up to her own room.
"Oh, Lucia!" she cried, "I'm so glad
you came aui how sweet you look!
The girls are asking for you and your
lovely gift let me kiss you for it
came this morning and don't worry
about it, dear! your thought was what
I cared for most, but, such a pity! it
got broken in coming!"
"Ah!" murmured Lucia, alint in-
audibly, as she bent over the fastening
of her glove.
"I've been so afraid it would spoil
your evening," continued Mildred; "it
was such an exquisite thing, that I
hated to tell you; but I knew you
wouldn't understand if it wasn't with
the other things they're all down
stairs and to find it there broken
without being prepared, would be too
bad! Let me button that for you, dear!
Mamma says she'll try to mend it, and
I do hope she can, for I prize it ever so
much."
Some of Lucia's friends of last winter
took possession of her, until Mildred
came up later.
"Excuse me, girls, but, Lucia, you
must come and be introduced to the
dearest little woman In the world
grandmother, over there!"
She led her friend off to where sat a
serene old lady, like some miniature
empress, in black Vtlvet gown, plas
troned w itb old lace, and a white satin
ribbon coronet with one tiny cluster of
heart's ease over her smooth white
hair.
"I am glad you are come to me, my
dear," she told Lucia, when Mildred
had left them together; "I've been
wishing to have a look at the pretty
things in yonder, but the rooms are so
full that I preferred not to tush through
alone; would you miud having a ieep
at them now?"
So they passed into the library,
where several youug persons wre ex
amining the gifts covering the table.
"Dear, dear!" exclaimed Mildred's
grandmother, "what would the girls of
my time have said to these things!
Why, we never dreamed that some of
them could exist! When we had sav
ed up our pennies, we were overjoyed
to preseut our little keepsake of a pack
age of working-silks, or a box of color
crayons, or a hem-stitched sewing
apron, or a handkerchief, or a book
mark, that we had embroidered our
selves. And indeed, my dear," she
added, nodding towards tbe table, "I
doubt if this be the wiser, better way;
there are always some wno cannot
afford to make expensive gifts, and
why should such an occasion be tbe
means of making a friend uncomforta
ble? Now" dropping her voice "you
see the cards are removed from these,"
and she smiled: "Milly is a a sensible
kind girl; there were certain friends of
hers In reduced circumstances, who
seemed worried that they could not
offer her some little token to-day, and
Milly thought it might spare them
some embarrassment if there were no
cards displiyed. Ah, we find out,
some day, that the spirit of love is
everything!"
With the swing of the runsic, and
the chatter around, she bad not noticed
Lucia's silence. The girl had been fur
tively eyeing an open box at the end of
ESTiVBLISHED 1827.
PA., WEDNESDAY,
the table; but now, lifting her .clear
eyes to Lucia's Mildred's grandmother
followed their gaze.
"Tt-tt! that is too bad f said she,
stepping nearer. "How could it have
been broken? So many moving around
must have jostled it, someway. Now
there, my dear, is another point of the
case; that bit of Dresden must have
cost a good deal, enough to have bought
several pretty souvenirs, and yet a
touch, some i.ttle accident, and it is
wasted. How will the giver feel, I
wonder, to see it in this condition!"
To Lucia's relief, her companion here
saw something that interested her
across the table, aud went around to it,
just as Mildred came in, in high spirits,
with some friends, and began pointing
out her gifts to tham, now aud then
smiling brightly over at Lucia.
"Another of my granddaughters, my
dear," whispered tbe miniature em
press to Lucia, under cover of the music,
and motioning towards a slim, high
bred laoking girl by Mildred "and a
charming, intelligent creature that is
her brother just back of her; he's "'
She stopped, the music becoming
soft and the voices distinct
"And just look at this, Article," Mil
dred was saying, regretfully, "one of
my very prettiest, from your firm, too;
aud all shattered, coming by express!"
She took up the box that Lucia had
sent.
"What!" exclaimed the young man
to whom she handed it "This broken
by express." (What was it that Lu
cia recognized as familiar the voice?
the figure? As though in a dream
she beard the words fall, half-mufll id
with the strains of violins; something
seemed to catch at her heart; she held
her breath). Do you meau to say"
he lowered his voice, but Lucia heard;
aud then he laughed irresistible. "Ex
cuse me, but this is a joke; who's been
guying you, Midget? Why, it came to
us exactly as it"
She heard no more; the table seemed
to reel before her, to the time of music;
for an Instant she was conscious only
of this same voice, saying once in her
hearing: "Oh! she is quite welcome to
it, Mr. Stevenson, if she thinks she can
mend it ! She forced herself to spak
to the Utile lady beside Iilt.
"Excuse me a moment, please; I am
not well!" And without raising her
eyes, looking neither to right nor left,
she slipjied past the group in front of
her, aud out of the rooms.
In Mildred's room, which she some
how reached in spite of a wild desire to
fly out into the night anywhere that
no one could find her, she sunk down
by Mildred's bed aud buried her face
upn it; all her pretty finery in a sad
little heap. The clock on the mautel
ticked as usual, hurrying none of tlm
moments in which she was left alouo
with her deceit It seemed a dreary
while before the door opened softly
aud she felt Mildred's arms around
her.
"I have brought you an ice, Lucia-
dear! I'm so sorry you are ill, but this
will make you feel better."
"Oh, Mildred!" cried Lucia, raising
a miserable, piteous face, "I can never
feel any better until I tell you all about
that dreadful tray! I can't think what
led me to do so wicked, so disgraceful
a think, but I was so worried that I
did it almost without thinking, aud
haven't had a happy minute since!"
Aud she tremulously related th
whole matter of her present, and why
she had chosen a Dresden, tray. Sh
could never have thought, for herself,
of half the comforting things that Mil
dred found to say. '
"Forget it, Lucia! It is all between
us," she said, kissing her. "Arthur
has no idea whose gift it was, and
mamma had already promised me not
to mention who sent anything and
why, Lucia, two of my best friends are
the the poorest girls I know, and d
embroidery for a living!"
As Lucia was driven home to Aunt
Margaret's au hour later the lesson that
had been so sorrowfully impressed on
her set its seal on her soul; and gazing
from the carriage-window out into the
star-light, the words of Mildred's grand
mother came back to her:
"The spirit of love is everything!"'
And she remembered that, somewhere,
she had read that Love is Truth.
A Zealous Sheriff
A writer in the Washington Poste
states that in Arizona people have a
strong objectiou to serving on juries.
So do other people; but rarely is it nec
essary to take such extreme measures
to secure a jury as in the following
Arizona case:
A certain Judge in one of the rural
districts, having occasion to try an im
portant case, ordered the Sheriff to im
panel a jury. When two days had
passed aud no return had been made,
he sent for the Sheriff aud demanded
to know why his orders had not been
obeyed.
"Wal, Jedge," said the Sheriff, "I've
got jest ten of 'em locked up in the jail
yere, aud I turned out the dogs this
morn in' after the other two."
Old People.
Old people who require medicine to
regulate the bowels and kidneys will
find the true remedy in Electric Bit
ters. This medicine does not stimu
late and contains no whisky nor other
intoxicant, but acts as a tonic and al
terative. It acts mildly on the stom
ach aud bowels, adding strength and
giving tone to the organs, thereby aid
ing nature in the performance of tbe
functions. Electric Bitters is an ex
cellent appetizer and aids digestion.
Old people find it just exactly what
they need. Prbse fifty cents and 11 OJ

It was little Madge's bedtime.
She knelt beside her crib to offer up
her nightly, childish prayer.
She asked God to bless mamma and
papa and all, and to bless little Madge
and "keep watch over her through all
the night."
"Any why not through the day as
well?" asked the nurse.
"No," said the little one; "taa tate
tare of myself in the daytime."

Enemies at tbe Close of Ibe War.
New York. April 27. Gineral Por
ter, in his eulogy of Grant at the dedi
cation services, said :
"Clyses H. Grant spran; from the
loins of the American reo; li aud do
rived his patent of nobiiiry direct from
God. lie possessed an abiding confi
dence in the honesty and intelligence
of his fellow-countrymen, and always
retained his d e hold npon their affec
tions. Even when closed with the
robes of tho master he forgot not that
he was still the servant of the people.
In every groat crisis he was content to
leave the efforts to bis countrymen and
the results to God.
"As commander of men in the fiVld
he manifested tho highest characteris
tics of a soldier, as evinced in every
tattle in which he was engaged from
Palo Alto to Appomattox. He was bold
in conception, fixed in purpose and vig
orous in execution. He never aliow. d
himself to be thrown on the defeusive.
but always aimed to take the initiative
in battle. He made armies, not cities,
the ohjoctie poiuts of his campaigns.
Obstacles which would have deterred
another seemed only to inspire him
with greater confidence and bis soldiers
soon learned to reflect much of his de
termination. Pis motto was, 'when in
doubt move to the front. His sword
always pointed the way to nn advance ;
its hilt was never presented to au
enemy. Ho once wrot iu a letter to
his father, 'I never expect to have an
army whipped, utiles it is badlv
whipped an 1 cati't helD it. He en
joye 1 the physieial constitution which
enubh-d him to endure every form of
f at:gne ani privation incident to mill
t.iry service iu the tie'd. His unassum
ing manner, purity of character and
a) solute loyalty insp.red loyalty in
others, confidence in his methods and
gained him the devotion of the hum
blot of his subordinates. He exhibited
a rapidity of th uyht and action on tho
field which enabled him to move wirh
a promptness r.irely ever equaled, and
which never failed to astonish and
often to baffle the efforts of a le ,s vig
orous opponent.
"A story of his martial deeds in
spires us with the grandeur of events
and the majesty of achierement. He
did not light for glory, but for national
existence and the e.uality and rights
of m n. His sole ambition was his
country's prosperity. His victories
failed to elate him. In t:e dispatches
which reported Lis triumphs there was
no werd of arropauce, no exasrgera'ion,
no aim at dramatic effect. Witu all his
self-reiiance he was never betrayed into
immodesty of expression. He never un
derrated hinis If in a battle, he never
overrated himself in a report. He could
not only command armie. he could
commaud himself. Inexorable as he
was in battle, war never hardened his
heart cr weakened the strength of his
natural affections. He retained a singu
lar sensitive nature, a rare tenderness
of feeling; shrank from the sight of
blood and was painfully alive to every
form of human suffering.
While- his career as a Fo'dier eclipsed
by its brilliantcy his achievements as a
statesman, yet when we sum np the
events of tbe eight years dur n? whic.i
he was president of the repjldic. their
ni.teuitude and importance c'tall nge
conipir. son with those of any ot.ier
chief migistrate since the inauguration
.f the (?'verument. Wheu he look the
helm of state the country was in a con
dition of foment and disorganization,
which is always consequent npon a
lonsr-continued evil war. The fiftevuth

south secret societies and armed bands
ot lawless men were creating terror and
defeating the ends of jastice. Tbe
prosperity of the country was still laz
gii. g. the public debt was oppressive
and inflationists and repudiators were
weakening tho national credit. Our
merchant marine had dwindled to a
mere shadow of its former self, politi
cal rancor had envenomed whole sec
tions of the country. In lian wars were
brewing, unsettled disputes with for
eign powers threatened the n .tioa.il
pea e and the new chief magistrate
was confronted with problems so for
midable that they were enough to ap
pal the stoutest heart fnd di c mrae
the most hopeful mind. In the letter
of acceptance of his nomination for the
presidency he uttered oue of the f uV
iiniest s ntences ever panned by stute-m-
u's hands: 'Let us have p at-c.' Of
ail the many aphorisms w.iich eman

quest.onable pledge of financial hon

Indians while he was servini oa the
frontier had eminently fitted him for
inaugurating practical methods for
improving their condition. He took
np nonestly the sork of civilizing and
Christianizing them, placing the.n on
reservations, trea'inx them as wards of
the nation, and fitting them for ulti
mate citizenship, and thus avoided
wars and saved vast sums of mouey.
Under his administration tbe fifteenth
amendment to the constitution was
ratified, and all the states were read
mitted to the Union. In 1M0 he rec
ommended the r funding of the na

with its formidable proportions.

Chief Jo3e?!i aai th? Briige.
General Miles arranged for bis old
friend, Chief Joseph cf the Nes Perce
nation, to attend the Grant Monument
dedication, and ride in the parade.
Chief Joseph, say a Washington cor
respondent, is considered one of the
ablest Indians in history for military
skill, for diplomacy and statesmanship.
X white general ever showed more
strategic ability than was demonstrat
ed in the camp ugti which J eph con
ducted against G.merai IIward sever
al years ago, and when Chief Joseph
was finally whip;ed by thti combined
armies of Howard, Giblton and Milt,
after a uve days' seige ia the Yellow
stone, he was brought to Washington,
and demonstrated his skill a a diplo
matist in negotiating terms of peace.
He interested everybody he met, and
no foreign potentate ever made a more
favorable impression upon the officials
and people of the capital.
I remember when Secretary Mc
Creary, who presided over the War
Department during the Hayes Admin
istration, a-ked Joseph what impressed
him most of the superiority of the
white mau over the savage in all
that he had seen and heard during his
journey.
"The bridge over the MLsnhtsippi
River," was the reply.
"Doa'tyou think the Capitol a fine
building?" inquired the Secretary.
"Yes; it is a fine building," answer
ed the red man; "my people can pile
stones one on top of the other, b it they
can not make a cobweb of Iron stand
iu the sky."
"There's too much system ia this
school business," growled Tommy.
"Just bce-auxe I snickered a little, the
monitor turned me over to the teacher,
the teacher turned me over to the prin
cipal, and the principal turned me over
to pa."
"Was that all?"
No, pa turned me over bis knee."
