Allentown, August 31, 1889, WORTH VERSUS WEALTH What an elegant girl I' This was the inward exclamation of liar- ry Stephens,' as a gaily dressed young lady passed by his office window, one balmy - May morning. Very gracefully was the =kit-. la folded about her pretty person, and very gracefully and daintily her light feet pres sed the graveled sidewalk ; yet there was an air of haughtiness in the carriage of her head,_and_in_the-flash-of-hir-oold-blue eyes, which was not quite so plLasant to the searching glance of the young lawyer. He had spoken truly. Helen Fowler was an elegant girl, in face, form and mind ; but, as often happens, that meagre word el egant described her thoroughly. Under neath her calm elegance there was nothing deeper—nothing to be unfolded, flower-like by the sunshine of friendship or love. Her education was elegant, not varied nor pro found. She could speak the French lan guage excellently, she could dance enchant ingly, and play kracefully all the fashiona ble music of the day.. In manners,she was faultless; in conversation the quickness of her wit generally concealed the shallowness of her brain. iler brain was shallow and her heart, too r yet she was an elegant girl, and the only daughter of the richest wan in the shiug village ofWiston. . She had scarcely turned the corner, wittn another young form appeared, and another light footstep sounded beneath Harry's win dow. But this figure, though dressed with neatness and grace, was not so airily robed as that of the heiress who had prc'ceedcd her, nor did she bear herself with such an air of conscious beauty. But just as she passed the window she looked up, and eyes of' such deep, rare lovliness met Harry's earnest gaze, that his book fell frcim his grasp unheeded, and he watched her retreat ing forni until she was out of sight. ' lichen Fowler is certainly an elegant girl,' he said, as he paced up and down his office floor, but Agnes Bryan is something more. Helen is rich, proud and graceful : Agnes is poor in worldly wealth, Simple in man ners, yet rich in graces of the heart and. in tellect. Helen would shinein the loftiest station to which I could ever attain; Ag. nes would be a household angerro the rich man or the poor man. At wlich shrine shall .E bow—that of wealth or worth ?' Mil And leaving him to decide this momen tous question, we will inform the reader that Henry Stephens had lately located himself in Weston ; and being now estab lished in business, and able to have a home of his own, he was looking about him in search of a wife. Two only of the village girls bad yet found a favored ,place in' his thoughts—though, if the truth were told, a great many were ready to smile upon him. These two, Helen Fowler and Agnes Bryan, he had met several times at the social gath erings of the village, and he admired both. He had called once at the house of each, when he was charmed by the animationand wit of one, and by the unaffected sweetness of the other. Both received him gracious ly, for in the eyes of both he had found fav or. Though one acknowledged this to her self boldly, the other felt _the admiration which she would not confess. Helen liked hith because he belonged to an aristocratic family, and possessed a pleasing and polish ed manner; Agnes, in listening to his elo quent and varied conversation, had discov ered that there was a chord in his soul and in hers which vibrated to one and the same harmony. After both graceful forms had disappear ed, Harry suddenly remembered that he was invited to a social party that evening, where he would undoubtedly meet the two who had lately occupied so large . a space in his thoughts; for Helen Fowler being the belle of the village, was always invited, and ,he knew theft Mrs. Temple who gave the iparty, was a'itarm friend to Agnes. ' I will choose to night,' said he, Aether I shall offer my suit at the feet of the beau tiful heiress o , or at the heart of the lowly but lovely:m*4o teacher.' At idea, if Harry Stephens had been gifted witty a pair of magic spectacles, mak ing.l:wick walls and closed blinds transparent ho might have seen't Helen fowler in her dressing room, standing irresolute amid a profusion of silks, laces andjewelry. From one rich robe she turned to another saying softly to herself : . • ••• wish I knew which are Jim' favorite colors. I thought he looked admiringly et this purple; blue 'is more becoming, I ' must look as beautiful as I to : night, for when we were at Mrs. Gray's -W4etttally, talked. an hour with that ..nobodyrrligii", Bryan. And,„with.thii,same magic &Ws, Barry might have seen AgnesegiviegArir tut music lesson of the day td a stuipitrpu pil, Who either -could not en,mitiCilot 4erstand the spirit of a sithiilewaltet.whfcli. she was practicing, but, persidedln drum ininiit forth as if it were a'marah.for the battle field. But at last the tried pupil was dismissed, and Agnes, weary,''..buy hearted, went .to prepare for the paSfy. When you are ready, come and read to Me a little,' said her invalid mother. "I will," replied Aging, cheerfully; "you know it never takes me long to dress. , " And n a few moments she came down, tireissed ; :a delicate flesh colored muslin, 1' falling in simple ringlets, re "*".:'. • WI quiring neither wreath nor gem to enhance her quite loveliness. " I hope he will be there," was the thought that flirted through her mind as she took up a book and began to read aloud. When Harry entered Mrs. Temple's par lor, he found Helen already there, and looking more brilliant than he had "ever seep her before. The glance of her bright eyes quickly attracted him to her, and for a whole .hour—he-yielded:limself—to-the-spoll of her fascinations. She was-beginning to think her triumph sure, when Harry, on turning suddenly, met the clear soft glance of Agnes Brvan'a dar eyes. 4 He bowed smilingly, and by an irrestible impulse would have approached, but a quick word from Helen chained diim again. "Do you know Miss Bryan ?" he asked after listening a few moments to het• gay sallies, which had suddenly grown stupid. " Miss Brian ?" she repeated. "No, I believe she gives music lessons to my little brother, but I have no acquaintance with her." "There is a grant deal of character in her face," he continued. "Indeed ! Do you think so ?" -said the proud beauty, with a slight, very slight look of scorn at the object of their conversation. "-She-makes-a—very-good—inusia-teacher;—l am told." • The tone and look had not escaped the quick observation of Harry, and he went on rather roguishly : ," And do you not know that it takes quali ties of a very high order to make a music teacher? There must be patience, quickness of preception, firmness, enthusiasm flr the art; all these I can discover in Miss Bry an's face. Do you not see firmness in lier well formed mouth„enthnsiasm in her large eyes—" "0, do not go on, Mr. Stephens !" said Helen, interrupting, him with a forced laugh. " I am no phySiognomist. But you were asking ale to play something, a little while ago.• I have just remembered something which lam sure you will like." She seat ed herself at the instrument, and as her white fingers glanced over the keys, he could not help smiling at her jealousy of Agnes. In the meantime, Agnes drew near, and stood a quiet listener, with the group which now surrounded the piano. Helen played with brilliaucy and almost faultless grace of execution; but Harry looked in vain for that enthusiasm which lie liad predicted in the eahn , eyes of Agnes. Bryan. She felt that lie did not perceive until a few minutes later, that Helen played as well as one could, who hal not soul enough to compre hend more than the mechanical part of mu sic. • ‘' Miss Bryan, you must favors us now," he said, when Helen, looking quite radient with the consciousness of the admiration she must have excited, rose from the piano. Agnes hesitated a single moment, then bin hing, seated herself at the instrument, What a touch succeeded the rattle and dash of Miss Fowler's performance V —The very fragrance of music breathed through the silent room, for, as the first low, floating accents melted again to liquid flowing har mony, and stillness fell over all, and they listened with hushed hearts to the voice of the true melody. Harry felt the difference in the two players and felt the cause too, lying deep down in the character of both. She rose quietly, and before he could thank her, she had glided away. He palls- ed a moment seeking her with his eyes, and then the ringing voice of Helen called him to another part of the room. "We are talking about a woman's rights. I don't believe in them. I don't think it belongs to women to earn money," she said, gaily. "Do you Mr. Stephens?" " I think she has a perfect right to earn it, if she needs it," lie replied; " and T must confess, I prefer to see young ladies who are not wealthy, engaged in some prof itable employment, rather than living idly at home." • " Oh, it does not look well !" said she, tossing her pretty head. " I prefer to see them contented with their lot, for it looks avarinusin a woman to earn money." "Is there avariw in trying to help one self, rather than be a burden ?" asked Ag nes Bryan, who, unseen by Harry, had stood Dear, and whom these cold words had stung, perhaps not unintentionally. "Is there avarice in choosing industry and in ,dependence to idleness and want?' Miss Fowler's eyes flashed for a ,moment haughtily on Agnes, but Harry prevented ker : from replying. .:;' - '"lsagree with Miss, Bryan," said he.— , " The k true-objeet of life, both to male and improvement, and we all know that this is never to be gained by idleness." !q,eyhaps Miss Bryan would not. on:y .wisoi , " work with the men, but to vote witt(tbom?" 'said Helen. "Zt said Agnes, answering the sarcas iitiltorte with one of calm sweetness, " I think that a true wonian's influence is worth more than her vote." Helen answered only with a look of dis daiti, and she turned haughtily away, lear ing the argument unfinished. Harry's first impulse was to fellow her, but he paused: In that mordent of his indecision two pic tures rose vividly before his imagination.— One was a home made splendid by-the pres- I'UMBER 3. ence and the wealth of an heiress; a home of fashion and brilliancy. The reigning queen of all this magnificence was an ele gant womon, an ornament at the table and in the drawing room of her house—a star' in the society which fluttered admiringly around her. The picture dazzled,, but he turned away, and turning, saw another vision. He saw a home with a fireside witlra — deepr, holy, quiet heart, reigning and diffusing brightness there. Ile saw a noble, womanly-mind, unfolding into more perfeot richness, year after year, and a spirit blend ing more-and-more • harmoniously—With - hi.- own.

ADVANTAGE OF WOMEN OVER. .LIEN.= Some one sums up the advantages of wo men over men as follows : A woman may say what Hlio pleases to you without being knocked down for it. She can take a snooze, after dinner, while her husband has to go to work. She can go forth into the street without being invited to treat at every cof fee-house. She can paint her face, if it is too pale, and flour it if too red. She cae stay at home in time of war, wed if her husband is •killed. She can wear coMets if too thick—other fixing if too thin. She cari eat, drink and be merry without costing ti cent. • She,ean.get divorced from her hut-- band whenever she sees any one she liked better. She can get her husband in debt all over, until he warns the public by ad vertisements, not to trust her on his account' any longer. . THE MOTHER,--Young man ! thy moth er is thy best friend.
