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

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.

Me a little,' said her invalid mother.
"I will," replied Aging, cheerfully;

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

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-

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,

ment.. a golden übble and a pure pearl, and
whispered, " Which shall I give you--;
Wealth or worth ?"
Good_angola helped hilt, and he chose the pearl.
Years after, I saw Harry in his home,
and found his vision more than realized.—
He had risen to eminence in the city to
which he had removed, but Agnes was still
the flower of his home and his heart.
DON'T WANT TO BE KtssEn.--A
ous trial was recently held at 'Middlesex
Sessions, in England. • Thomas Saverland,
the prosecutor, stated mathe was in the
room where the defendant Carolina New
ton, and her sister, who had come from Bir
mingham were present. The hitter joking
ly observed that she had promised her
sweetheart that no man should kiss her
while absent. It being holiday time, Say
erland considered this as a challenge, and
caught hold of her and kissed her. The
young woman took it as a jolae, but her sis- .
ter, the defendant, said she would like as
little of that fun as he pleased. Sayerlan4
told her that if she was angry he would'
kiss:her also; then he tried to do it, and•
they fell to the ground. On rising, the
woman struck him; he again tried to kiss
her, and in the scuffle she bit off his nose.
The action was brought to recover damages
for the loss of him nose. Tho defendant
said he had no business to kiss her; if she:
wanted kissing she had a liusba,nd to kisfi
heri a better looking man than over the
prosecutor was. The jury, without heath- .
tion, acquitted her; and the chairman Said
that if Ay man attempted to kiss a woman
against her will, she had a perfect right to
bite off his nose, if she had a fancy for so'
doing.
Ale"Au old Dutch farmer just arrived at
the'dignity of a justice of the peace, had
his first marriagt, case. He did it up in
this way. He first said to the man :
" Veil, you wants to bo marret, do you?
Yell you lowish dis voman so good as any
woman you have seen?
" Yes."
Then he said to the woman, " Veil, do•
you love this man so better as any man yore
have ever seen'?"
She hesitated a little while, and he ra- .
peated :
" Vell, veil, do you love him so well as
to be his wife ?"
" Yes, yes," she replied.
"Veil, dat ish all any reasonable Mai
can'. expect. So you are marret„ I pro=
nounce you man and wife."
The man asked the justice what was to
pay. "Nothing at all ; you aro velcomir
t it, if .it will do you nn} goot."
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.
