' Tho summer nun in shining, bright, Balmy and sweet tho breezes blow, Fair Nature clothed in robes of light Would fain her Joy on mo bestow J But all I in vain tho snn doth Rhine,' Charmless the brcozo, tlio bird, tho flower ; for who who mado them all divine Has gone, and they have lost their power. Alast without hnr brilliant smilo Tho sheen of morn ia midnight gloom. Earth can no moro my soul beguilo, f ' My lifu ia but a living tomb ; Without her voice, tho melody Combined of all harmonious things, Is only dissonance to nre, Tho sound of haqis with broken strings. Her eye Is liko tho radiant star That ushers in tho dawn of day, Through danger's night when sorrows mnr, . A sleepless watch it koeps alway, Till peace and safety come again ; Without its beams I dwell alono, Forlorn among tho sons of men, My pleasure, hope and mission gono.

THE CAMEO. "Folicie! Folicie Brevard 1 Come litre directly 1" Tho soft French name had a queer sound, coming from Mrs. Monson's thin lips and acid voice. Felicie came slow ly up the stairs to where Mrs. Monson stood ttdking volubly with her lodger, Mr. Thornton. "Felicie, walk a little faster 1" said Mrs. Monson, sharply. "Ilero is Mr. Thornton, that has missod his finest cam oo. You were in his room dusting, yesterday." "It was a head of Apollo," said Mr. Thornton. "I bought it in Naples. Could you have swept it behind the furniture J" - At the first mention of the cameo, Felicie put her hand in her pocket, she turned deathly pale, and a half cry es- c' capod h r. fTftV you (rot it?" cried Mrs. Mon- . unTi-Tftrril l-t- . "Tf row- have, out of t.hun doors yon shall pack. Trouble enough 1 I have 'had with you already and all of your relations I" She seized her by her shouldors, and attempted to put her hand into her pocket. Felicie resisted desperately. She was as white a a ghost. "Come, come, Mrs. Monson ! The cameo is not worth all that," said Mr. Thornton. It was Teally worth enough to have made Felicie open her innocent ey s wider than they had ever opened be fore. Mr. Thornton had often noticed Fe licie. He believed her to be honest, and he saw that she was terrified at Mrs. Monson's violence. "But I mean to get to the bottom of . it," said Mrs. Monson. Thornton caught her by the wrist and forced her to unloose Felicie. lie gave her a look before which the shrewish ness vanished like smoke. "You had better go downstairs," said he, quietly, "I will settle this with Felicie." Mrs. Monson walked submissively downstairs, and left Thornton and the frightened girl alone. "Now," said Thornton, kindly, but with determination in his voice, "tell me how all this happened ?" Felicie put her hand in her pocket, and handed out the cameo. "I know you won't believe me," ehe Baid, bursting into tears; " but I did not steal it." "I believe you," said Thornton. Go mi "I was dusting iu your room. I put my handkerchief on the mantelpiece. When I took it up I did not notice that I took anything with it. When I got downstairs I felt it in my pocket. I was hurrying to put it back when I found you and Mrs. Monson here." She was very pretty when she cried. She had a delicate beauty very different from Mrs. Monson's buxom daughters. Ha wondered how two types so dilfeient could be produced in the same family. "Are you Mrs. Monson's niece ?" he asked. "No 1" she answered, with a ring of indignation. "My mother was Mr. Monson's sister, and a lady. My father was French." "And how came you here ?" "My father and mother died, and I had nowhero else to go." She began to cry again. Thornton had never felt so sorry for any human being in his life. "And have you never been educated ?" he inquired, after a pause. "I can read and write, and lean speak French. My father was a French teacher, and he used to say to me, when I was a little thing : 'Felicie, you must study hard some of these days, and you must play and sing ;' but I cannot play, and I have no heart to King." Thornton looked at her in silence for some time. "1 have never benefited ethers much, but this ia a chance I will not let slip. Felicie, how would you like to go to school, and tlicu learn some business that would make you independent (such as fiower-niakiug ?" ' "Or dress-making," responded the piactical Felicie. - "Veiy well," said Thornton. "I know of a respectable plaoe where you can live. Let me see you are about fif teen?" "Nearly eighteen," said Felicie. Thornton stared. She was, then, quite a woman, and an uncommonly pretty one, too, he Baid to himself. "You are sure you will not repent ? But perhaps I am wrong in taking you away from your natural guardians in this manner." "You may take me away or not," said Felicie, coolly. "But if some one does not take me away X shall take my self away. I am going now to get everything I have, and nothing will in duce me to Bleep another night under this roof." That Bettled it. Thornton took a card and wrote an address on it, and in Iosb than an hour Felicie presented her self at her new friend's, with a basket containing all of her worldly posses sions. Mrs. Monson came home to find Fe licie gone, and no clew to her, while Felicie was being snugly ensconced in a little sunny room at Miss Shepard's. Miss Shepard had . been an humble friend and dependent of Russell Thorn ton's mother, and was only too glad to have it in her power to do anything for "Mr. Russell." Thornton appeared in the evening, and fixed upon a plan for Felicie's fu ture arrangements. "You shall have a certain amount a month," said he, "beyond your board. With that you may do as you please. You may go to school, or learn dress making, or anything else you like. I leave for New York to-morrow evening, and in a week I sail for London. I shall be in Europe certainly for three years, and at the end of that time I shall look you up to Bee what you have mado of yourself." Felicie looked at mm witu lier pretty dark eyes brimming over with tears. She had learned to dread and fear strangers. These two Russell Thorn ton and Miss Shepard were the only two who had ever been kind to her in all her life. "I will try I will try 1" was all she could say. Thornton rose to say good-bye. "When I come back I expect to be dazzled with your acquirements." He shook hands with her as he spoke, and then with Miss Shepard, and the next moment Bhe saw his graceful figure disappear "in the darkness. She turned to Miss Shepard. "Will he ever do you think he will ever come back ?" she asked, with quiv ering lips. "Of course. Three years will slip by easily." It seemed an eternity to look forward to, in Felicie's imagination. The next day, she said to Miss Shep ard : "Do you know what I am going to do with what Mr. Thornton gives me ? I intend to learn to sing 1" "Learn to sing 1" said Miss Shepard, in the same tone as if Bhe had said, "Learn to fly !" "Yes," Baid Felicie "to sing like the great opera-singers. My mother Bang beautifully, and I mean to sing like her." Miss Shepard interposed no objection, and she Boon learned to oppose nothing that Felicie said. She was so bright, and so helpful 1 Miss Shepard's dull littlo house had never known any youthful merriment, and it warmed the poor old ouls heart to feel Felicie s active and magnetic young presence about her. She Bunned herself, as it were, in Fe licie's youth and beauty ; and Felicie found herself soon to be the very apple of Miss Shepard's eye. She had begun her singing lessons the week aftor Thornton left, and might bo heard trilling and caroling down in Miss Shepard'B stuffy little parlor, and touching light chords on Miss Shepard'B wheezy old piano, all day long. Nor did she forget to learn some other things besides. She never knew her self to be fond of books. Her life had been so hard and colorless that she really did not know what she liked ex cept singing. But she read with a steady purpose of improvement that worked wonders. She boupcht copy books and changed her unformed, child ish handwriting for one full of vigor. She had a natural quickness in learn ing everything that belonged to domes tic affairs, and two years slipped away in a happiness and content that poor Fe licie had never dreamed of. About this time, when Felicie was twenty, Bhe saw an advertisement for a first soprano in one of the great city church choirs. She determined to ap ply for it, and without saying a word to Miss Shepard, she slipped off, and went to the vestry-room where the candidates were being examined. When she found herself before bo many persons, and saw the strange pro fessor who presided at the organ, her heart sank ; but when at last "Miss Bre vard" was called forward, and she saw the familiar notes, her voice returned to her. She had never felt more mis tress of herself. She sang with inspi ration. Her voice was so pure and rich and beautiful in tone and compass that she knew almost intuitively that she would succeed. And, indeed, about a week afterward, she received a letter from the choir committee, who "having made inquiries about her, and finding she was a suitable person, would be glad to have her accept the place of first so prano. The salary would be five bun dled dollars, with the privilege of tak iug lessons from any professor she might select in the cit v, not to cost more than -, etc." Felicie rushed upstairs to show it to Miss Shepard. "Just think! Five hundred dollars! And only to sing for it ! And lessons from Barilli ! What I have longed for and could not afford 1" Miss Shepard looked at her in de lighted surprise. "Oh, Felicie, dear ! what will Mr. Rus sell say ?" "Don't you think he will like it ?" said Felicie, stopping short. "Of course ho will, my darling." "Then it's all right," said Felicie, skipping off to answer her letter. In a little while Felicie began to think she took n wicked pleasure in her voice. She could not but be proud of it. Sun day became a day of triumph to her. She felt that when she sung her solos every note was listened to with de lighted attention ; but she kept down her innocent, girlish vanity by saying to herself : "When Mr. Thornton comes home he will have heard so many fine voices that mine will be nothing to him ; and if he sees that I am vain of it, he will be utterly disgusted with me." She had been singing in the choir one whole winter. It was the afternoon of Easter Sunday, and the church was packed to hear Miss Brevard sing. She had never sung so gloriously ; she felt a delicious sense of impending happiness. At last the service was over ; the peo ple had flocked out ; the sexton would be around in half an hour to lock up everything for the night. Felicie remained. When every one had left the church she stole to the or gan and began playing. Then she be gan to sing a simple little hymn that Miss Shepard had told her was the fa vorite of Russell Thornton's mother. "I never heard anybody but she sing it," she often said, as she heard Felicie singing it. She thought Bhe was entirely alone in the great, dark church, while the twi light shadows slowly crept in the stained glass windows ; but there was some one else. A gentleman sat in the cor ner of the church, who turned around so as to face the choir. I It was over in a few minutes. Felicie 1 rose and made her way down the rickety steps that led from the choir gallery. When Bhe got to the church door the gentleman came forward out of the dusk, and caught her two hauds in his. "Felicie 1" was all he said. "I thought you were not coming back for three years ; and now I am so Btartled !" "Are you sorry, Felicie ?" "No," said Felicie, boldly. They walked together toward Felicie's home in the soft spring evening. "How gloriously you sing, Felicie !" said Thornton. "But do you know that little h vmn vou sang last was my mother's hymn ?'" "I knew it," said Felicie. "Miss Shepard told me so, and taught it to me ; and I have often thought I would learn to sing much better than I do now and sing it to you." They lingered on the way home, so that Miss Shepard was quite miserable when they came in. "I knew something pleasant was go ing to happen," Felicie said, "for I felt a bird singing in my heart all day." In a week people were saying : "Do yon know Russell Thornton is going to marry that pretty girl, with the French name, who sings in St. Pe ter's church ?" The report was true. "Do brides ever select their wedding presents ?" asked Felicie, just before they were married. "I don't know," said Russell, laugh ing : "but you may." "Then give me that head of Apollo. Oh, what a lucky thing it was that I unconsciously stole it V A Beautiful Home. It is an excellent thing to have a well kept house, and a beautifully appointed table, but after all the best cheer of every home must come from the heart and manner of the home mother. If that is cold, and this ungracious, all the wealth of India cannot make the home pleasant and inviting. Intelli gence, too, must lend its charm, if we would have home and Eden. The se vere style of house order neatness sel dom leaves niucn margin for intellectual culture. Even general reading is con sidered as out of the question for a wo man so hurried and so worried with her scrubbing and polishing, and making up crarments. A 6impler style of living and house furnishing would set many a bonded slave at liberty, and add vastly to the comfort of all in the house. Hospitality rarely prevails in these spotless line and letter houses. Com pany disarrange the books and disorder the house, which hart work enough in it before. The mother cannot throw off her household cares, and 6it down for a real heart to heart converse with the old friend of her childhood. Still less can she enter into the joys and pleasures right and delightful to her own children, because of the extra work of clearing away it will be likely to make. With all yoar toils to make a house beautiful, do not neglect the first ele ment of all, to beautify yourself, body and soul. A sweet loving word, and a warm clasp of the hand, are far more to a guest than the most elaborately embroidered lambrequins at your win dows or the most exquisite damask on your table. There are bare cabin homes that have been remembered with pleasure, because of tho beautiful lov ing presence there; and stately palaces which leave the impreFsion of an ice berg on the mind. FOR THE LADIES. The Preltlm ' Rrlde In England. Frances Evelyn Maynard, the young heiress who has just been married to Lord Brooke,eldest son of the Earl of Warwick is one of the' most beautiful women in England, and as generous as she is beautiful. The wedding was the grand est that London has seen for many seasons, and was honored by the pres ence of the Prince and Princess of Wales, and several other members of the royal family, Prince Leopold acting as best man. The bride's dress was an improvement on the usual livery white satin and orange blossoms, the front being covered with old point and droop ing fringes of orange blossoms. The veil was also of old point. Her only jewels consisted of a single row of ex quisite pearls. The bridemaids were twelve in number. Their Gainsborough dresses were of white moire, the India muslin fichus being fastened on the bosom with large bunches of Marshal Niel roses, the bouquets also consisting of the same flowers. The Gainsbor ough hats were made of similar material to that in tho fichus. The favors were particularly pretty, consisting of daisies, orange blossoms and maidenhair. The bride's traveling dress was of velvet, of a perfect shade of brown, the bonnet and cape being of the same tint in bro caded gauze. The queen's present was a cashmere shawl. The Prince and Princess of Wales gave a gold bracelet with a clasp of magnificent sapphires and diamonds. It was purchased at St. Petersburg. There were several hun dred presents, including some splendid jewelry and valuable plate. Lady Brooke's pet name is " Daisy," and her husband gave her a wedding present of a diamond collar with pendant daisies. Gar Summer Dresses. Red abounds in summer toilets, and is shown in all materials. A French costume, just imported for Newport, is of cross-barred batiste, in two or three shades of red, trimmed with deep plait ings and draperies edged with black Breton lace. Another dress for yacht ing, or the mountains, or seashore, is a dark garnet wool as heavy as flannel, yet as fine as camel's hair; this is made with a hunting jacket and overskirt and has many rows of soutache braid of the same shade for trimming. Large bows and sashes of dark red satin ribbon are used with white costumes of various fabrics, such as nun's veiling, dotted muslin and cream-white batiste. Very pretty toilets of white wool have Span ish lace plaitings and draperies of satin surah in stripes of most brilliant hues, or else in pale fade colors. Mauve, or pink, or lemon-colored Surah dresses have two deep flounces of white open embroidery around the skirt; auove this is a draped short overskirt and a shirred round waist. A polka-dotted surah of dull red shades has pink satin ribbon bows and facings of pink cn the great ruche that heads the gathered uounce which is scalloped on the edges. The loveliest white nun's veiling dress , with pale blue embroidered dots on i has border stripes of blue, and is edg id with Russian lace. A pale blue so' tin surah has large balls of darker bue, with a shading of golden brown on the edge of each ball; this has loop s of golden brown surah covering the front breadth, with alternate blue and 'crown plaitings at the foot. Fashion Fancies. The parasols with knots on the top and at the end of the handle have been revived. Cut silk flowers with bead he arts are substituted for muslin and cambrio blossoms. Little girls' kilt-plaited go wns have rows of buttons down every Bixth or seventh plait. The red shaded feathers seem to find favor more rapidly than the se of any other color. Cheap Japanese hats are tigain worn this summer, but they are extravagantly trimmed. Olive and tea rose is one of the most exquisite of color combinations for even ing wear. Arrasene is knitted into pretty hoods for evening wear. It is as soft and be coming as chenille. Pink linen undergarments trimmed with black lace are fresh enormities in Parisian underwear. White Spanish laoe scarfs, or muslin scarfs with borders of Aurillac lace, are worn in full dress. The lily of the valley effect in chenille fringe is produced by pressing the strands at regular intervals. The most fashionable size in Japanese panels is four and a half feet long rmd five and a half inches wide. Batiste printed with bounuets'of small flowers is new and exceedingly r'ftjy for summer gowns. Instead of a border some parasols have a band of bright plaid or bright color about half way up the gores. Printed cambrio dresses for morning and sateen for afternoon is laid down as the rule for summer dressing. The silk mull used for kerchiefs and collarettes this season is striped, and is even more becoming than the plain. Ties for traveling dress are about four and one-half inches wide, and are made of mixed silk resembling the granite ribbons. A wreath of flowers worn around the crown of a bonnet, and then carried down to the front of the dress, is ex ceedingly pretty. Parasols covered with Japanese crape are worn with gowns of Japanese crape. The mantles bordered with stiff deep plaitings, like those on the lower edges of skirts, are uglier than any other out side wrap. The handkerchiefs to be carried with brown suits have their edges buttonhole-stitched in brown, with inner bor ders in colors. Brides' mothers now wear white plumed bonnets when they attend their daughters to the altar, and look as gay as the bridemaids. The little silver-headed scarf -pins are replaced by those headed with stone when worn with the little linen col lars in English shapes. The Granny bonnet, worn hy children in the summer, is of foulard instead of velvet or beaver. Its trimming js only a bow and strings. ' Some of the shaded ribbons have lace like borders on their lighten edges. When made up into bows white lace is sewed on the dark edge. Testimonial to Mrs. Hayes. A letter from Chicago says: The au tograph testimonial album to Mrs. Rutherford B. Hayes by the women of Illinois has been finished. The worfr. consists of six large volumes, of 600 ?ages each, elegantly bound in fall 'urkey morocco. All through the b ook are scattered India ink drawings. The inscription reads: " From the ladies of Illinois, who have admired the courage Mrs. Hayes has displayed in the admin istration of the hospitalities of the ex ecutive mansion. God grant that the influence of this signal and benign ex ample may be felt more and move as age follows age in the life of the great republic; !" The' dedicatory poe,n is by Mr. Benjamin, of Chicago. It is en titled, "Greetings from Go'Tb Own Clearing, Illinois." The first signature is that of Mrs. James K. Polh, of Nash ville, Tenn.; the second thg.t of R. B. Hayes. Among the autog'i'arjhs in vol ume one, are those of the members of the late " Hayes Cabinef Chief-Justice Waite and the justices of the su preme court, and tb e governors of nearly all the States "and Territories, under the official sepJof each, followed by congressmen and prominent profes sional and business men. Volume two begins with the representatives of the State of Illinois, including the city and county officers, and a large space is filled by the postmasters, followed by railroad officers and bankers. Volume three is devoled to authors and poets. Prominent among these are Oliver Wendell Holmes, Thomas Bailey Al dric h and Harriet Beecher Stowe. H. W. Long'i'ellow subscribes his name wit h the lines : ' 'WheDe'er a noblo deed is wrought, Whene'er is spoken a noblo thonght, Our hearts in glad surprise To higher levels rise. " Her presence lends its warmth and health To all who come bofore it : If women lost us Eden, such As she above restore it." Mark Twain 6ays : " Total abstinence is so excellent a thing that it cannot be carried to too great an extent. In my passion for it I even carry it so far as to totally abstain from total abstinence itself." Then follow departments de voted to music, actors, painters, sculp tors, science and education. Volume four contains autographs of scientific and professional men ; volume five, prominent business men and journalists; volume six is devoted to the representa tives of temperance and religion, both State and national. The Leslie Assignment. The final proceeding in the matter of the Frank Leslie assignment was taken yesterday. An order was entered ac quitting Mr. Isaac W. England, the assignee, from all further obligations to the trust, and discharging and releasing the bondsmen who had become his sureties in the sum of $100,000, and canceling their bond. The case has been a remarkable one, and probably stands unparalleled in the judicial history of this State. It is peculiar in that it probably is the only instance on record where an assigned estate, instead of being sold in accord ance with the provisions of the assign ment, has beon carried on by the assignee in the interest of tho creditors for a period of nearly four years. The ex periment was a hazardous one, but in this case it seems to have been attended with the best results. The estate at the time it came into the possession of the assignee was inven toried at 875,000, and was incumbered by debts amounting to about $400,000. In less than four years the assignee has compromised with and obtained releases from all the creditors, and has turned over to the executrix of Mr. Frank Leslie, who had meantime died, an estate worth certainly not less than half amillion of dollars. Though several millions of dollars passed through Mr. England's hands during his assigneeship, his accounts were passed without the challenge 6f a dollar. In these days when so much has to be published about delinquent trustees and estates absorbed in the process of ad ministration, it is gratifying to find so conspicuous an illustration of a trust faithfully and wisely administered.
