I was completely worn out, over Worked, the doe'or said, arid decided to take it ranch needed vacation. I glanced around with a dissatisfied air at the articles ot virtu I bad prized sr highly, Etany of which bad coat m more tban one meal, thinking how stupid I had been working and starv ing myself merely to p ratify an absurt inner for lare bits of china and must old books. Evry piece of work I be pan with so much ntl,UBihm ba proved n u ter failnre. I could con ceive eutifnl ideas, but bad neve succeeded in rlscini? them on canvas So far I bad eled out a miserable e istence; lreftnin vain dreams abon my uncreated works; fteding my t Vivid imaoinstion and starving my coi poreal self until mv miserable body w Wj tbin that it could scarcely rcfleo ahadow T curt ed fae after the er t hod ox fashion, declaring I voul abandon my art, give np all fooliBh as pirations and turn bootblack. An hour later I was standing in th Erie depot, without any definite idei as to where I should no, when a pen tleman, holding a little girl by the hand, came along and purchased tickets for a station about eighty miles distant I am unable to cay why 1 conolnded to go to the name place, but suppose the "destiny that shapes our ends" sent me there. I took a seat in the ear, and soon fell inte one of my old reveries, from whioh I did not awaken until I reached my destination. Hastily pick in or up my traps, I quitted the car, and saw the gentleman and child standing on the platform. There was not a vehicle of any kind in sight; nothing but along stretch of dusty roads and perhaps Lai' a dozen farmhouses scattered widely apart. I approached the stranger to in quire if there was a hotel within walk ing distance, and was informed that the nearest place where I could obtain lodgings was about ten miles away. I stated that my stopping at the sta tion was due to an idiotio habit of mine trusting to chance "The habit Las frequently led me into unpleasant predicaments, and this is only one more instance. However, I am glad to find a companion in misery," I concluded, with a lugubrious smile. "I expeoted some one to meet us, but I suppose they did not receive my letter," he observed, "I could easily walk to the farm, but it is too far for the child, and I do not like to leave her alone w,hile I go in searoh of a wagon." "You, can appoint me her guardian pro tern., and perhaps your Jehu will drive me to the village." He followed my suggestion, and a few moments later was plodding along the dusty road, while tho child and I were seated contentedly under a tree looking at an illustrated paper I had stuok in my pocket. I have a knack of making friends with children and dogs, and in a short time we were chatting as lamiliaily as if we were old acquaintances. The little damsel informed me that her name was Lida Allyne, and the gentle man was her papa. Bhe had been at sohool in the city, and was going to spend the summer with grandma and Aunt Mattie. Bhe hadn't any mamma; at least papa always said so when she asked about her. Perhaps she was dead, but she didn't know, because they would never let her talk about her mamma. 1 Nearly two hours elapsed before Mr. Allyne came back in a farm wagon; then he explained that when he reached the farm he found his sister had gone to the village for the mail, and he was obliged to await her return. "Now, Mr. Conway, since fate has thrown us together, and you have ren dered me a real service, I beg you will go with us and spend the. night at my mother's To-morrow I will drive you td the village-" The invitation was tendered with hearty earnestness, and being both ''fit! and hungry, J gladly availed my self of it. During the drive he told me that ho was book-keeper in a large importing bouse, where bo had en tered as errand boy some twenty years before. And I explained that I was an artist, with more apirations than tal ent, living in a state of chronic dis couragement, and dreaming dreams that would never become realities. "The life of an artist and one devoted to mercantile pursuits are so widely di vergent that it would be difficult for me to fully svmrathize with you," he said, thoughtfully; "yet we all have our ambitions dreams some of fame, some of riches and I bave often thought there is more enjoyment in an ticipating the fulfillment of them than in their actnal consummation. When I was errand boy it seemed as if I would reach the very pinnacle of success could I but obtain a clerk's position and so on through each grade. My ambition is still aspiring, and bappi ness is oh, so much- further off than it was fifteen years ago. This dear old home is the only spot where I can find peace, if not forgetfnlness," he con cluded, as we stopped before the low, vine-covered porch, whore his mother, a sweet faced old lady was waiting to greet us I say us, for her welcome of me was very cordial. Mattie was not visible, and I did not see her until she came to announce supper. She impressed me as being a low-voiced, shy looking girl, not pretty, according to the cenoral acceptation of the term. Yet, I soon found myself ad miring the pure sweet face and earnest blue eyes. The next morning Mr." Allyne told me bis man could not possibly spare the horses that day, as they would bo required to bring in the hay, and pro posed we should set out on a hunting expedition, which we did immediately after breakfast. This was the beginning of an un changing friendship between Hector Allyne and myself. As time passed our friendship streuetbened; and although f pave him my entire history, I felt in tinctive.l that there were events in bis ife which ho kept concealed. When his vacation days were over he returned o bis duties, but came back every Sat trday. and I can sarely assert that no jernber of the household looked for vard to his coming with more gladness hill did. I haTdly know when I first learned to ove Mattie, for its growth was so sub that it burst upon me full Hedged ilruost before I was aware of its exist uco, hnd, nt ranee as it may seem, it vas into Hectrr's ears I first poured h sforv of my love for his sister. He ltd not appear surprised only glad very clad when ho wrung my hand, ying: "If you bave won her heart, Ralph, yon have a jewel beyond price " I had won her heart the purest, bost heart that ever throbbed in woman's breast, and shortly after she beoame my betrothed wife. Summer waned, and October came, changing the bright green foliage into rich crimson and gold. Every week 1 determined to return to my studio, yet stayed on day after day, because ones more destiny willed it so. While I wae planning my own future, fate was bh eking out an Entirely different path for me. . One night I lit a cigar and started for a stroll I usually took while Mattie was engaged in some household duties. There was a frosty crispness in the air, which tempted me to prolong my stay beyond the customary hour, and it was nearly nine o'clock when I stepped upon the poroh, where I saw a woman crouching in front of one of my sitting rcom vindows, evidently eo absorbed in gazing at the scene within as not to be consoious of my approach. "Are you ill, Madam ?" I asked, She staggered to her feet, and stood for a moment like a stag at bay, and shading her eyes with her hands, ques tioned in a low, frightened tone: "Is it you, Heotor?" then swayed from side to sida, and fell with a heavy thud upon the porch before I could reach out my arms to save her. Mattie, hearing the fall, opened the door hastily. "A strange woman has fainted, dear," I explained; "go quickly and bring soino restorativt s, while I carry her into the hall." She returned with some brandy and water. Catching a glimpse of the dead, white faco she uttered a cry of anguish that eohoed through the old house. Mrs. Allyne came forward, but Mattie sprang before her. "You shuli not see her, mother," she said, excitedly. "If vou can bear the sight surely I can, dear. Bring her to the sitting room, Ralph." I obeyed, and after placing her on the lounge, we applied restorative's. Pres ently the woman opened her eyes and looked around in a dazed sort of way. Bhe was a bloodless creature, with pathetic, dark eyes, and a face aged with Buffering. "I wanted to see my little Lida. Is Hector here? Tell him I am dying. foreije me." The appeal was addressed to me, for Mattie and her mother hud stepped aside, and she was not conscious of their presence. "Be quiet now," I answered, gently, "you shall see him to-morrow, perhaps." "Too late; there will be no to mor row for me," she murmurtd, wearily. - She appeared to be completely ex hausted, and from her incoherent mut tering we learned that she had been walking many days, but could not dis cover where she cmne from. When she was comfortably placed in the bed, which was brought into the sitting room, I went for the doctor, and sent the following dispatch to nector: "Sylvia is here. Come." I asked no queftions concerning her, but readily corjectnred she was Heo tor's truant wife. The physician pro nounced her beyond all human aid. The following day and night her condition remained unchanged. Hector arrived about five o'clock Thursday morning. He did not speak when I admitted him, but hirt haggard face told of bis mental suffering. I pointed to the room I had just left, and he entered it, closing the door silently. Mattie and her mother were resting af ter their long vigil, and a death like stillness reigned throughout the bouso. I remained in the kitchen for perhaps an hour, then I stepped softly to the fitting room door and opened it: The soene that met my eyes was strikingly pathetic even tragic The old troe near the porch, with its richly tinted foliage, was iu a blaze of glory. 'The first crimson beams of the rising sun, glimmering through its branches, upon the low, many paned windows, cast ever-changing fantastic figures upon the walls and over the white coverlet. On a small table nea. the bed a candle was flickering feebly as if ashamed of its attempt to give light after the god of day had an nounced bis presence. Hector knelt beside the bed with his face buried in his hands, which rested upon the pillow. Tho position he had unconsciously assumed expressed the very abandon ment of grief. The contour of his no ble head anAlfe graceful, easy posture of his manly form touched my artistic fancy. Death had removed the mask of suffering from the woman's face, and it nppoared young almost eirlish again. There was a smile of ineffable peace on the cold white lips, and the marble lids with their long black lashes, were closed as if iu sleep. I stood, lost in admiration, forgetting all else save the picture before me, which, when traced upon canvas, brought me fame and the wealth I prized for Mattie's sake At last I approached the bed, and olxeing my arm around his neck and said: "Come, Hector, let us go out into the pure morning air." He started and grasped my hand. His eyes were tearless, but his genial, hand some face was almost as pallid as the dead woman's. "On, Ralph," he whispered, in tones of sincere regret, "what a terrible end ing of a life that WbS once so bright and joyous." We went out into the morning sun lipht, and with his arm linked in mine, tie told me the story of his marriage with Sylvia, and the three years of per fect happiness which followed; of the blind devotion and infinite trust o heartlessly betraved by the woman he loved and the man he called his friend. He generously covered up the still smarting wounds, and naught save words of pity fell from his lips. r "She opened her eyes just before the last sigh escaped, and she knew me, Ralph," he said, as if finding comfort in the thought; " for a smile just as she used to greet me with years ago, came to her face, when she saw me bending over her." "I am glad she recognized yon," I replied, soothingly; "for it was very touching to hear her plead for your for giveness." . "Ah, yes, she knew I forgave, as I hope to be forgiven," he answered, with heartfelt emotion. The following day we laid her to rest, "forgetting her weakness and evil behavior, and leaving iu meekness he sins to her Savii-r." A year after I finished the picture, in which I endeavored to delineate the dawn of a new day upon earth, as I sin cerelv hoped, tho dawn of eternal lif for Sylvia 1'irexiue Omens. The bright and ever cheerful compan ion of our homes in tho winter time, the tire, has given rise to a host of omens and portents, many of which at times .create no small consternation when the events suppo ed to be prognosticated are not ot a very lucky character. A hollow cinder, for example, thrown out of the fire by a jet of gas from burning cools, is looked upon as a collin if it be long, but as a money-box if it be round. Some, too, exclaim on seeing the lire suddenly blaze up that a stranger is near; whereas, in the Midland counties, if the fire burn brightly after it has been stirred, this is considered a sign that the absent lover, wife or husband, as the case may be, is in good spirits. A very popular charm for reviving a fire When it has burned down is to set the poker across the hearth, with the fore purt leaning against the top bar of the grute. The poker and top bar thus combined form a cross, and so defeat the malice of the witches and demons who preside over smoky chimneys. One notion is that the poker when in this position creates a diaught, but the real meaning of this harmless superstition is, perhaps, the one we have just given. Various items of weather lore, also, have been derived from the way fires burn, an enumeration of whioh we find in Willsford's "Nature's Secrets :" "When our common tires do burn with a pale flme they presage foul weather. If the fire do make a buzzing noise it is a sign of tempests near at hand. When the tire sparkleth very much, it is a si n of rain, it the ashes on the hearth ao oioaaar trgetner ot tnerafceives, it U a sign of rain." Two harnessed crocodiles tamly draw a wagor ' Oo Atlanta. beauty, went out of the rpom saying : "I'll return to-morrow rain or shine. If I am a living woman to morrow I'll oomo back." The human decorator said to the reporter : "I nave a great many callers the majority are ladies over thirty years of age, but a great many old bachelors anr" young gentleman also come. The young men generally give a fictitious name ; the old bachelors Ao not seem to be afraid of anvthing, give their right names, pav liberally nd recommend their acquaintances to come. A bache lor in Boston gave me $50 to take the wrinkles out of his face, when my charge is only S3 a treatment." "How is this effected and does your treatment conceal age?" "Yes ; I can take a bachelor of fifty years, with 'crow's feet' under his eyes, and in three or four months the crow's feet will be gone, and he will not look to be over thirty. I treat the face once a week ; this fine white powder is rubbed into the wrinkles, and the agree able change is effected." "Of course the same treatment is ap plied to ladies ?" "Oh, yes ; the majority of the ladies come here to have 'those horrid crow's feet' removed. Nothing worriei a lady so much as increasing signs of aging. But a great many, who are really pretty, wish ti be made even more so, The improvement of beauty is a laudable de sire, just the same as fine dressing, and ladies .should not be censured for endeavoring to make themselves more attractive. One lady came in yesterday Bhe was as pretty as she could be. I frankly told her that she was pretty enouvh, and that I could not improve her. She went away smiling, and seemed just as delighted as if I had im proved her complexion " "Do the ladies express any fear when being treated?" "Some wish to know whether the improvement will be lasting, and ask a thousand and one questions as to the ultimate effects of the treatment. I as? re them that I use no cosmetics ; nothing that will injure the skin or the health ; and so eager are they to have their complexions improved that thev would run the risk of losing what beauty they possessed had my preparations such effect. But such is not the case.'' "Do I use my own treatment? Yes; I once bad freckles on my forehead. D you see any there now? I put on a preparation that took the outer skin off, and when itgrewover the freckles were gene. I had to remain in the hou?e three or four days, and did nothing but walk, wringing my hands in agon?. What will a woman not suffer for her beauty ?'' There beiog no answer, she continued : "There is nothing of anv value gained iu this world without laboring and suffering, and as beauty j. woman's chief Aistincion the values i above other gifts of nature, end will use all possible arts to enhance or make it durable." , Strict MleDce. My dear young wife make no one your confidant in the inevitable trouble) of your married life. Above all, if yon live with your husband's people, do not confide in them. Be your mother-in law never so wood, never so wise (and the more virtuous she is the more danger to you in the course,) it will only endanger your future peace to give her this confidence. Not even your own mother should bave it now; the time has come for you to have anew con fidant and adviser, that one your husband. If you have a secret for some one to keep, be is tho one; do you need advice who so likely to give you the right? If you have differences and you will have, however much you may doubt it now, there will come a time when the sun will seem to be blotted out from the heavens; when all the earth will be upside down; when Dick and you have the first "spat ' bury them deeply iu your breast; you an preserve your self-respect in no other way. Your private life must be truly private; on this depends the hap piness of your wedded life. If you live alone yon may easily preserve this sacred silence; if not it will be harder, but the need will also be greater I If kept secret, trials soon pass away; to talk of them only increases their magni tude. You may say, "My mother-in-law is different from most; she loves me as well as my own mother." That can not ba In nothing are you like her own children. Do you yield her the homage and unquestioning obedience she claims and receives from her daughters ? I trow not. Very likely you are little self-important, in the first flush of your new dignity as a wife, and, all unconsciously, give offense to that excellent woman by your very man ner. And she must be a wonder indeed if in her heart she does not resent your complete monopoly of her "boy" ; always that to her, remember. In the natural course of things, then, her love for you cannot be of an intense character at first; but even if it be sc, you cer tainly should refrain from wringing her heart anew with stories of your domestic grievances, whioh she feels must neces sarily involve the nnhappinesa of her son, from whom, before your advent, she kept even the shadow of trouble.

It is said that there are no ladies in the world so capable of doing many things, and doing them well, as the Austrian lady. An Austrian lady of high birth who cannot swim or does not know how to ride a horse well is an exception. Needlework of every kind, even to the making of lace, is a part of every'girl's education. Her pedestrian accomplishments are noticeable. Her efforts of memory are another source of wonder to us. As linguists they are famous. It is only among the nobility aud higher classes that one finds these accomplishments. The burghers' daughters will not condescend to the learning of dressmaking and cooking, whioh the titled lady an do without thought of its reflecting on her social position. The higher the position abroad the more simple the attire ia public What a Conairr Ctrl Caa Do. " Whar. can a country girl do to earn money at home?" There are ten things the average country girl can do to earn money as follows : 1. Let her turn her attention to- silk culture. 2. If he; neighborhood offers an opportunity, let her open a kinder garten school, or let her establish a home for the taking care of young chil dren when the mothers are otherwise employed. 3 Let her can fruit. This will make it necessary that Bhe should have a garden. 4. Let her run a poultry yard. Eggs, chickens and feathers are all profit able. 5. Let her raise honey. This is not a hard or unwomanly occupation. It requires intelligence, as all occupa tions do. 6 Let her raise strawberries. 7. Let ber raise flowers. This is a most profitable industry. Choice flow ers, wreaths for weddings and funerals, evergreens foi public occasions, all command a good price. 8 Let her prepare Christmas ever greens. 9. Let her, like her grandmothers, make butter and cheese. 10. Let her make jellies and preserves for the market. These ten suggestions may be of ser vice to some country girl who is look ing towards the city for employment, and she would become more intelligent and more useful, more healthy, and make a better marriage by remaining at iiome.

Veilings and cashmeres in the test he tic shades of color, with plumetis embroid ery in contrasting color to the grounds, are used in combination with rich silken and velvet stuffs for the handsomest seaside ball toilets. Silk and lisle thread mitts and gloves come in all the new shades ot terra cotta, shrimp pink, hussar gray or gray blue, ficelle, cream and olive ; but, after all, more black' and ivory-white ones are worn than all the reat put together. A very effective, dressy costume is made by wearing a dressy polonaise of small blue surah trimmed with cuffs, piastrons and collar of cat work, and mules ot Moresque lace over a skirt of shepherd-checked taffeta in blue and white.

HUMOROUS. Mark Twain remarks that all we need to possess the finest navy in the world is ships for we have plenty of water. "Pulverized meat" is what the Bel gian government is about to give out for army rations. This must be Belgian for "hash." " How far is it to Manayunk ? " asked a weary Irishman, who was going there afoot. " Seven miles," was the replv. " Whom would you wish to see there ? " " Faith, it's meself I'd loike to see there," was the retort. General Howard made some pretty lively marohes when trying to head off the elusive red men of the West ; but it is said that he never knew what rapid mancenvers were 'till h attempted to put a stop to flirting at WeBt Point.

"Oh, Harold," said she, as she clung closer to his arm, "how very quiet and restful the sea seems to be this evenin." ' Just as I wonld like a wife to be," was the response. "And wonld you, as a husband, be the quiet, restful comple ment of snob a wife?" He thought he could, and the lauuch into the sea of 'iia'rimonial difficulties was thus quietly made.

He experi mented with four youn rabbits of the same litter and born of hetlthy parents. Two of them were kept one hundred and five days in a large wooden case with sHe gratings, into which was in troduced daily a quantity of air expired by animals in a consumptive state. This operation was performed at mid day and in the evening, and eaoh time the gratings were kept closed for two honrs. In another quite similar case tho two other rabbits were similarly treated, except that the impure air was made to traverse, in its way to the case, some wadding impregnated with car b. lie acid. The rabbits in the first case before long showed loss of appe tite, intense thirst, listlessness, diar rhea and loss of flesh. Ou being killed both were found to have tubercles in the lungs, the liver and the kidneys those in the longs being the most advanced, and the upper lobes being chiefly affected. The other couple ot rabbits presented nothintr abnormal while alive, and no orvanio alteration was observed in their organs after death. Thoy were eaten without re pugnance by the author and his family. Again, observations have been reoently made by MM. Grenaut anil Quinqiand, both on man and the lower animals, regarding the influence of injuries of the lungs (or of the bronchi 10 or tho plenral envelope) on the exhalation of carbonic aoid They prove that thu amount of this gas exhaled is less where such disorders exiitt, even where there is fever. Two explanations are conoeivable the pulmonary change miuht bar the elimination of carbonic acid, which, in that case, would accu mulate ia the blood, or the injury might have the eflect of diminishing the production of carbonic add by affecting the general nutrition.
