"I don't object to it," said Octavia, bluntly. "It'a n divine Rift," said Mr. Fitz Arragon. ' May 1 ask if you are tak ing lossons from Ferrani or Agra monte ?" " Neither one of 'em," said Octavia. And at that juncture Fernanda hurried the literary man away to look ttt it beautiful duster of trailing ar butus which some one had just brought in from the woods. "There's no telling what (My would blurt out if you once gave her the chance, said she And she did not breathe Ireely until i 1.. 1 1 rt. 11 1 t j-. i .... 1 Octavia had left the old farmh use an I gone back to her duties in the big fancy store on Twenty-third street. Octavia herself felt a it some dis agreeable pressure were removed from her existence. She was a frank, noble natured girl, who was saving up her earnings to pay off the mortage on old Grandfather Glenn's farm. She delighted l:i work, not only for 1 its own sake, but for the beneficial re sults it could rduce; and she had sufficient of courage and self-denial to live plainly until her object was at tained. She occupied a tireless hall bedroom in a shabby little downtown boarding house, patronized mostly by the guild of working people, whoso only recom mendation was its scrupulous neat ness. She wore cotton gloves, dyed-over gowns and tho plainest of plain bon nets, and through it all she respected herself. Stay, though we have not told it all I There was one extravagance in which Octavia Glenn occasionally in dulged herself that of charity. She had a class of innocent-faced children in the mission school, of an evening, and she was a diligent worker in the ranks of a quiet benevolent Fociety, which wrought a great deal of good without any blowing of trumpets. And one day when the feeble old porter at the store fell ill and his place was vacant, Octavia Glenn constituted herself a committee of one to inquire into the matter. " Of course you can do as you like, Miss Glenn, said Mr. Idem, tlie pro prietor of the store. "Hut lerngan lives in a most dismal neighborhood, and I'm not sure that it is altogether ?afe for you to venture there after dark." " After dark is all the time I have, stud Octavia, brusquely. "And it must be a great deal worse to live there than to ko once in awhile. 1 think 111 risk it." So she begged permission from the boarding-house keeper to make a little farina jelly over the cooking-stove when the heavy,' blackberry dump lings, which were to regide the boarders for dessert, were takm up, bought few strawberries and a small slice of sponge-cake, and set forth to visit old Ftrrigan, the porter. It was a dismal neighborhood, in deed, where the poor old man lived a neighborhood where piles of ashes in the narrow street made a sort of model of tho Itoeky mounta ns, on a small scale, and layers of cabbage-leaves and damaged lettuce festered in the gutte where rivulets of soapsuds trickled acros the pavement; sind there ap peart d to be more feeble groceries than there were people. The very gaslights sulked behind their' cloudy laiteins, and tho occasional passers prowled by like homeless cats. "Number ninety-nine." said Oc- tavia, briskly walking into a thread- and-needle store, where an old woman sat fast asleep behind the counter. "Does Mr. Ferrigan board here? The old woman roused herself and looked about. Second lloor back," said she, and inst mtly fell asleep again Oi'tivin. smiled. ! " I can find my way myself, I don't ! doubt," she thought. I And she did. I The whole house seemed to be damp. ! Blotches of blue mold had broken out j here and there on the ceiling, the walls j felt damp and clammy to the touch, as if Oetavia had put her hand by mis take on a snail ; vegetable-scented j whiffs came up now and then from i the cellar, and the room in which old Ferrigan lay gasping with rheumatic pains felt more like a dungeon than anything else. No carpet was there, no table, only a shelf, where a dispirited kerosene lamp had smoked its chimney into a black cylinder; no chairs, tho window uncurtained; and the shabby bed spread was tattered and soiled until its pattern was beypnd all recognition. Octavia's bouI recoiled from this im personation of hopeless poverty. " (.'an 1 do anything for you, Mr. Ferrigan?" she asked, after she had tenderly administered the farina-jelly, the fruit and the sponge cake, straight ened up the bedclothes and trimmed the lamp afresh. "It's very good of you, 1 am sure," said the old man, with the plaintive ', courtay of hi3 nation. " And 1 11 not ; deny it was a word of comfort and kindness that I was wearying for. i Hut it won't be needful long, I'm ' hoping.

" If I could have imagined that such an honor as this was in store for me" I don't know what you mean by such honors," said Octavia, bluntly. I am a working girl ; you are a book binder.

He never came back to the country solitudes aain, to Fernanda Glenn's bitter dis a; pointment. 15ut how could he face them all. after it was discovered that his "author ship" of "Stray Leaves" and " Float ing Fancies" was confined only to putting the covers on the same, and that the real author was a stout, short, old gentleman in spectacles, and that even hi name was a fabrication of his own ingenious brain ? Old Mr. Ferrigau died. Perhaps, as he himself had hinted, it was the best and wisest thing he could do. But Octavia Glenn's kindness and watchful care soothe! his last hours, and she had the satisfaction of getting the price of a decent funeral out of the ambitious son. , ' A jay in borrowed plumage !" she thought. "I never despised any one 8 much in my life !" And when Fernanda bewailed her delusion, old Grandfather Glenn only smiled.and said: " Didn't I tell you that he was only electro-plated?" The Prevention of Insanity. Dr. Nathan Allen, of Lowell, Mass., I in a pamphlet on the subject, calls at-1 tention to the prevention of insanity ai a question which, although much negle ted, is at least quite as important 1 as that of the cure of insanity. The j disease is very largely dependent on physical and sanitary conditions, and these should be studied out and brought within such regulation as will prevent its development. Since, a -cording to the late Sir James Goxe, insanity originates in some form of disease or in a deterioration of the body rather tl:an in an exclusive affection of the nervous system, its growth should be checked by a general diffusion of the knowledge of the laws of the human organism and the use of all means necessary for the preservation of good health. So far as insanity is heredi tary, its transmission should bo pre vented by avoiding marriage with persons predisposed to it. It should be the aim of the medical profession to become so well acquainted with the diseases of the nervous system and the brain that they could detect the lirst symptoms of disturbed or deranged states of mind, so as to be able to'treat them understanding, and, in all probability, in many cases successfully Popular Suh nes Mo 11 tidy.

"What was it I heard about a band serenading your father, and his invit ing them in to lunch?" said the gro cery man to the bad boy " Don't let that get out. or pa will kill me dead. It was a joke. One. of these Bohemian bands that goes about town playing tunes, for pennies, was over on the next street, and I told pa I guessed some of his friends who had heard we had a baby at the house had hired a band and was coming in a few minutes to serenade him, and he better prepare to make a speech. Pa is proud of being a father at his age, and he thought it was no more than right for the neighbors to serenade him, and he went to loading himself for a speech, in the library, and me and my chum went out and told the lender of the band there was a family up there that wanted some music, and they didn't care for expense, so they quit blowing where they was and came right along. None of them could understand Eng lish except the leader.and he only under stood enough to go and take a drink when he is invited. My chum steered the band up to our house and got them to play 'Babies on our Blo k,' and 'Baby Mine,' and I stopped ail the men who were going home and told them to wait a minute and they would see some tun, so when tlie Dami got through t'..- second tune, and the Prus dans were emptying the beer out of the horns, and pa stepped out on the porch, there was more nor a hundred people in front of the house. You'd a dide to 3ee pa w hen he put his hand in the breast of his coat, and struck an attitude. He looked like a congressman, or a tramp. The band was scared, 'cause they thought lie was mad, and some of them were going to run, thinking he was going to throw pieces of br;ck house at them, but my chum and the leader kept them. Then pa sailed in. He com menced, 'Fellow titizens,' and then went away back to Adam and Eve and worked up to the present day giving a history of the notable people who had a 'quired children, and kept the crowd interested. I felt sorry for pa. cause I knew how he would feel when he i ame to find out he had been sold. The Bohemians in the band that couldn't understand English, they looked at each other, and wondered what it was all about, and finally pi wound up by saying that it was every citizen's duty to own hildren of his own, and then ho invited the band and tho crowd in to take some refresh ments. "Well, you ought to have seen that band come in tue lions'1. They fell over each other getting in, and the crowd went home, leaving ia and inv chum and me and the band. Eat? "Well I should smile. They just reached for tilings, and talked Bohemian. Drink Oh.no. I gu' ss they didn't pour it down. Pa opened a dozen bottles of champagne, and they fairly bathed in it, as though they had a fire inside. Pa tried to talk with them about the baby, but they couldn't understand, and finally they got full and started out, and tlie leader asked pa for three dollars, and that broke him up. Pa told the leader he supposed the gentle men who had got up the serenade had paid for the music, and the leader pointed to ine and said I was the gentleman that got it up. Pa paid him, but lie had a wicked look in his eye, .and me and my chum lit out, and the Bohemians came down the street bilin' full, with their horns on their arms, and they were talking Bohemian for all that was out. They stopped iu front of a vacant house and began to play, but you couldn't tell what tune it was, they were so full. and a policeman came along and drove them home. 1 guess I will sleep :-t the livery stable to-night, cause pa is 1 off ul unreasonable when anything : costs him threa dollars, beside the j champagne.

You see, our minister is laid up from the effect of the ride to the funeral, when he tried to run over a street car, and an old deaon, who had symptoms of being a minister in li s youth, was invited to take the minister's place and talk a little.

"Strawberries two shillin a smell, and one smell is enuff." Q. W. Peck. The Law of Mistakes. The source of almost every lawsuit is to be found in mistakes. These are of two kinds mistakes of fact .and mistakes of law.' Experience has prfived that the ablest men sometimes make blunders, and the law has de cided that a real mistake of fact in an important part of a contract will ex cuse the party mistaken from per forming his part of the agrt enient. Eor instance : A man ma :e a con tract with one ice company and refused to deal with another. When the bill was presented he found that the latter company had supplied his ice. He re fused to pay the bill, and it was de cided that the mistake freed him from liability. A horse was sold oy a irauer ami paid for on the spot. While the trade was going on tne norse aieu. xne buver brought Buit for the money paid, and it wa9 decided it should be paid back, since both parties had made a mistake of fact in supposing the horse to be alive when the trade was ended. - If a farmer intending to sell hay sell3 oats bv mistake insteal, he may refuse to deliver the oats on that ground. It sometimes happens that a bill is paid bv mistake with counter feit bank notes. In such a case the payment is void and the receipt taken is worthless. A mistake in the quality of the thing bargained for is no ground foi breaking an agreement. If a man buvs a cheap thing, with the idea that it will serve his purpose as well as a more exptnsive article, he cannot, because he was mistaken, send it t acK and recover the money paid. "A mistake of lawi no ground for ret'nsin'r to earrv out a contract. This rule is founded on the old maxim, "Ig norance of the law doth not excuse.' And everv man is supposed to know the law of the land he lives in. Surmoso a debtor gives his note, promising to pay a sum of money with lawful interest, thinking that the legal rate is seven per cent. If ten per cent, is the legal interest, his ignorance of the fact will not excuse him from pay ing the ten per cent. When well known legal words are used in a contract, with a mistaken idea of their legal meaning, they are binding, in their legal sense, upon the person using them. If land is deeded to a man and to his heirs, he receives the estate abso lutely, although both parties intended that 'he should only have the estate during his own life. Some mistakes of law put an end to agreements on the ground that they are rather mistakes of fact than of law. An executor of a will pays money to a person whom he thinks is an heir. If the suppos-d heir be an imposture, the money can be recov ered. If, under a complicated will, a person buys rights which are his al ready, he, may get back what he paid for them. Mistakes of law in civil cases only cost money; but mistakes of the crim inal law have more herlous effects, in the loss of respectability and reputa tion. Here the plea of ignorance of the law will not be accepted. A crim inal must suffer the penalty of his deed, though he thought it lawful when he committed it. Formerly an outlaw might bo slain by anybody; but if a private person should now kill an outlaw, with an idea that he hail a right to do so, it would be punishable as murder. Youth's Companion.
