BEHIND TEE SCENE.
"Fear o'clock, and no Ellen yet? What
can detain her so? She is usually more
punctual than the clock itself."
It was scarcely a room in which Laura
Avery was sitting rather a niagiiiGcent bay
window with draperies of embroidery and
lace.
"Poor Ellen," she muni.ered, "how dif
ferently our lots have been ordered in this
work!. Her parents dead their wealth ir
retrievably lost, and she too proud to accept
a cent that she has not laboriously earned.
"Oh. dear?"' and Laira siphed acain.just
as the clock's liquid voice chimed the half
Lour.
"She doesn't come," soliloquized the
puzzled little damsel. There's something
the matter. Perhaps i-he is sick oh, dear,
.-he must be sick. I'll send James to see
no I'll go myself."
R-f re the words were out of her lips she
was up in her own room adjusting a soft,
crav shawl over her black silk dress, and
tying the strings of a quiet little brown
velvet bonnet, whose own crimson rose
among its trimmings of enameled moss was
rut very much unlike the bloom of her own
cheek.
' I don't think it is going to snow," she
j-(!t;iie"."i, looking out at the. gray threafen
u:jr sty, .s le drew on her perfect fitting
gloves. '"At nny rat.-, I shall walk very
fa-t."
As. -he came through the softly carpeted
vestibule a servanf approached her.
Ah! The rose was several shades in the
lurk ground now, as she broke the scented
seal, and glanced over the delicate, cream
onicred sheet, with a bright suppressed
p.M't dimpling the corners of her mouth.
Yet the uote was a very simple one after
r.il.
Y Dear Miss Avert : May I proru-i-e
tiyself the pleasure of accompanying you
to hiar the new opera to night ? Unless I
leeeive a message to forbid t3, I will call
fi r you at half past seven. Your most de

'.stirs, instin. tively slipped the note into
her bo.-ooj.as if feaiful lest the very pictui-e
ii the wail should catch a sight of the ele
g.:nt tLiropraphy, and pursued her way
down the gloomy street, with eyes that saw
t'r.e ii.urky atmosphere through the radiant
g!"w ot rinilrnr J, rose. Meantime tho gray
Jtehtuf October was fading away from the
room the third story of a Louse situated

Nothing, only I'm folding this dress

smoothing the lustrous breadths of purple
SIIK.
"What a selfish little creature I am,"
she mused. "Poor Nelly needs the money
so very much, and cannot go for it herself,
and it isn't at all likely that I shall see
Florian. But I w ill go and there is the
end of it."
"Thank you, dear Laura, ic is so kind of
you," said Ellen, fervently, as she came to
the bedside with thebasketon her arm. and
a black veil drawn closely over the brown
velvet bonnet. "She owes me three dol
lars for this dress, and there are seven dol
lars on the old account that she has never
paid me."
"Ten dollars! I'll collect it, never fear,"
said Laura gaily, as she disappeared, while
to poor Ellen it seemed as if the sunshine
had all died out with the presence of her
beautiful friend.
It was nearly dusk when Miss Avery,
summoning up all her resolutions, ascended
the brown stone steps of the llkhley man
sion and rang the bell.
"Is Mrs. lluddey at home?"
"What's your business with Mrs. Rich
ley ?" askfd the servant, suspiciously scru
tinizing the basket that she carried. Laura
bit her lips. This manner from servants
was an entirely new experience to her, yet
how often must poor Ellen hnve endured it.
"I have called to bring home a dress that
was finished for her," she said, in a tone of
quiet dignity.
"Oh ah yes; well, I spose you'd best
walk in."
The servant conducted her up stairs to a
sort of sitting room or boudoir, where Mrs.
Kicbley, a portly dame of about fifty, gor
geously dressed in a crimson silk, was sitting
in her easy chair in front of a glowing coal
fire. Laura was inwardiy grateful that the
gas had not been lighted, particularly when
she observed that Mr. Florian llichley was
lounging on a velvet sofa in one of the win
dow recesses. Mrs. Richly looked up as
the servant ushered in the new comer.
"Well, young woman, what do you want?"
Laura'ti cheek tinged at the tone of coarse
insolence in which she was addressed, but
she commanded herself to reply meekly: "I
havebioughth')nieyourdres,Mrs.Kichlej'."
"Where is Miss Waynall?"
"She is ill." -
"Very well ; lay down the dress; it is
right."
IJut Laura stood her ground valiantly.
"Miss Waynall would like the money to
nihf, mada.ne seven dollars on the old ae
count, and three for this dres-."
"It is not. convenient to n is; he."
"But Mrs. Richley, Miss Waynall is ill
and needs the mon"y," persisted Laura.
"There, Florian," said Mrs. Riel.lny.pot
ulenily addressing the young man in the
dres.-ing gown and elaborately arranged ha'ir,
"I told you just how it would be."
"What the deuce is the matter now?"
snapidehl.' asked Florian, for the first time
condescending to evince any interest iu what
was going n.
"Why, these impertinent dress-making
people are always clamoring for money, ju-t
when you have drained me of my last cent."
' Let 'em elamor.then, that's my advice,"
said Florian, w'thout taking the trouble to
move his head.
"Just give nie back that ten dollar bill.
Florian," urire.l his mother. "You can't
want it to-night."
"But I do want it, it happens," said Flo
rian, cooly.
"You are going to fritter it away in some
of those gambling houses to drink yourselt
stupid again." fretted Mrs. Richley. "It's
too bad. getting my money away from me
just to indulge those horrible habiis. U hy
don't you earn money for yourself?"
"Easy, ma, easy," said the dutiful son,
lazily dragging himself to a sitting pos'ure.
"Iou't lose your temper, for it isn't worth
while. This ten dollar bill is going to help
make my fortune. 1 shall take the lovely
Laura to the opera to-night."
"Nonsense; this fine scheme will flash in
the pan iu.-t like all the rest of your castles
iu the air. She won't have you."
"Oh. yes, she will, my incredulous mamma;
wait and see. I shall bring her to the point
pretty soon. Then I'll pay you back the
money with interest out of my lady's bag of
shiners."
"And will you leave off your gambling
habits? Oh, Florian, they will be the ruin
of you yet."
"Perhaps, perhaps not," returned Florian
insolently. "That will be very much as I
please."
Both the mother and her son had forgot
ten the presence of the young girl who was
standing in the dusky shadows near the door,
until this moment, when Mrs. Richley.turn
ingshaiply around saw her. "What are you
waiting for?" she asked irritably. "I have
already told you that it was not convenient
to pay the money to-night if hy don't you
go about your business?"
Her cheeks were flushed even beneath
their artificial bloom of rouge, and her chill
gray eyes sparkled with rising anger, as
Laura Avery composedly advanced forward.
She took one of the wax tapers from the
china shell and lighted the gas with a steady
hand, whose flash of rich rings filled Mrs.
Richley with astonishment.
"I am sorry that you cannot pay your just
debts, madam, " said Laura, quietly looking
the amazed mother and son in the face, "but
I am not sorry for any occurrence that has
had the effect of opening my eyes to the
true character of Florian Richley. I will
take the ten dollars, sir, to my sick friend,
as you will find it entirely unnecessary to go
to the expense of taking Miss Laura Avery
to tne opera to-night.
Flo .ian s handsome cheeks had grown pale
his knees quivered beneath him as he me
chanically took the bill from his pocket book
and placed it in the hand of the imperative
beauty, while Mrs. Richley sank back aghast
into the cushioned arm chair. Florian made
one desperate effort to retrieve his lost for
tune, even in the moment of sure defeat and
discomfiture.
"I am very sorry awkward mistake
hope you will afford me an explanstion," he
stammered.
"I require no explanation, sir," was Lau
ra's cold reply, as she withdrew from the
apartment, haughtily and unapproachable
as a statue of ice.
She hurried homeward through the twi
light streets, with a burning cheek andbeat
ine heart, and it was ne: rly dark when once
more she entered Miss Way-nail's room,
lighted only by the faint glow of a low fire.
"Back so soon," asked Ellen, somewhat
surprised.
"Here is the money, Nelly,and the wine,"
she said, thankful that the dim light could
not betray her tell tale features. "And now
you must get well as fast as you can."
,'Oh, Laura, I am so much obliged to
you, siiid nilcn, earnestly.
Laura stooped to kiss h- r friends' pale
check, Inwardly reflecting how much the
had to thank Ellen's indisposition.
But she never told Ellen of the discovery
she had unwittingly made while fulfilling
the gentle mission of r'riendship.and no one
ever knew the precise manner in which the
contemplated match between Florian Rich
ley and Laura Avery was broken.
There are some things that bring their
own reward in this world, and the one act
of kindness had saved Laura from uncon
sciousiy taking the step that would have pre
cip'uated her into a lifetime ti misery.

The Fuss of Li-ring.
There is nothing like a week of intensely
hot weather to bring one to a realizing sense
of the var.ity id life. What a world of fuss
and feathers it is! From the cradle to the
grave but little gond. unmixed with evil, is
done by the best of us, aud what a round of
puinful experiences one has to undergo to
make up the sum of Life .
One finds one's self alive, a punny, wail
ing innocent, covered up in a smothering
wrap ot flannel aud dumped ia the dowuy
reccs-es of a feather pillow, on the mostfer-
vid of July dys.
Paregoric and pins charm one's waking
moments and soothing syrup is the nectar
which invites to dreamland. Upon waking,
the little martyr is taken suddenly to thd
blinding light, squeezed, pinched, and kis
sed promiscuously by a miscellaneous col
lection of smokers, snufftakers and persons
addicted to onions and pepennint candy.
One must submit to kisses from dear mam
ma down to the black nurse and the baker,
and if perchance one cries, it is forthwith
dubded a cross and unmanageble child.
At an early ase school rears its horrid
boost in the widening path of life. Bunches
of burchcu rods swing before one's eyes and
sometimes buzz about one's ears. Through
sloughs innumerable, through perils by book,
map and blackboard, onereaches the period
when the "straggles of life" are popularly
supposed to commence.
The laborer rises iu the morn and works
hard all day to retire At night tired out ; the
business man daily harrasses his brain to
obtain riches, which, when acq uired, bring
anything but content ; the drones of human
ity, the "l,'te," spend their days in dress
and their nights in dissipation, and though
they, too. pursun happiness, it is f.mtid on
ly by i lie few. 1'ulitic.s, stocks, the crooked
ways of professional experiences all swell
the grand bustle of existence. U'e dance a
little, travel a little, stay at hinie a lit'le ;
be silent here and merry (here, sympathize
at weddings and at funerals, leadandbe led;
rejoice, but with trembling lest the cup be
dashed before we drink ; sufTer aud grow
strong, till sometimes it seems a pleasant
thought that there is no work, nor know
ledge, uor device in the grave to which we
ha-te.
Life should r."t, need not, be all fuss and
unhappiness. Look always at the brighter
'side of everything and koon it will be hard
to find the daikci. Existence is as we make
it. and although it is impossible to live
without some trouble, yet we can make it
happier and more peaceful if we strive to
do so. To m:ike others happy is o be so
uiirselves.
Opposed to fus there may be such fervor
in living such doit-g with all our mighi
what our hands find to do that the crooked
shall be made straight and thero'igh place.-pl.-iin
;that under tliii foam we tuay taste
the strong, rich wi--fAi:''e, .nl may learn
how pood a thing it is to translate the Aids
of living into the fact of living well.
Communicated
Scared by a Panther.
In the fall of fSort I was working at a
Saw Mill in Tennessee, in a county border
ing on the Cumberland Mountains. About
two miles from the Mill lived a man, Ben
Bush, who had a distillery and a pair of
pretty daughters, so that there was always
a few of us boys at his house. Well, one
isaturday afternoon I concluded to try some
of his liquor, and went up.
Now, there had been a report about a
Panther, which had committed extensive
depredations in the neighborhood, aud the
conversation turned upon this topic. About
10 o'clock in theeveiiii.ig,I started tor home,
being a little top heavy and ruminating on
the panther stories which had been told that
evening. On my road was a little run which
I jumped, when at once I heard a pattering
in the water behind me. Quick as lightning
the thought struck me, "there is the Pan
ther." I had no gun nor pistol, only an old
square bladed barlow, which was so dul)
that I could not cut cold water with it. Here
was a fix ; I could see, or thought I could,
the two glaring eyes of the beast ; I tried to
walk backwards, but every time I moved
thesupposed Panther follon-ed ; when I stop
ped it stopped also ; besides it was slow
traveling. Supposing myself safer if I had
the fence between it and me, I edged to
wards it, the animal following. Fearing
that the Pan! her would be upom me before
I could reach the fence, I gave that up, and,
taking a good pull at a flask of Old Ben's
whisky, I opened my barlow and started
fur the Panther, on a run, determined to
give it the best I could, when up with tail
and heels "Bah," says a pet calf of little
Lizzie Bosh's, which had followed me. The
next time I saw old Ben I told him to keep
his cattle up, but the story got wind, and it
was six months before 1 heard the last of
that Panther. LOU.
Marrying Blindfold. The facility
with which numbers of respectable women
are duped into uiat.'imony by rascally ad
venturers, is marvelous. An agreeable ex
terior, a knack at small talk and a little dex
terity in the art of flattery, seem to be all
that is necessary to procure an unprincipled
scoundrel an unlimited number of wives.
The other day a man was arrested for bigamy
iu a Western city at the instance of his sixth
spouse, and it was stated that he ha J netted
by his half dozen connubial speculations the
neat little sum of twelve thousand dollars.
Of course, on-j feels sorry for the victims, i
but if women of respectability will wed uu
known vagabonds after a short acquaintance,
people o! common sense and common pru
deuce cannot help mingling a little contempt
with their commisseration. In a matter of
such vital importance t our happiness as
marriage, a woman ought at least to exer
cise as much judgment and discretion as in
purchasing a dress pallet u, and yet had any
one of the six wives referred to looked half
as c!o-e!y into the aniecedeuts of her suitor
as v e will warrant she did into the quality
and style of her wedding furbelows, she had
been saved the mortification of her anoma
lous position and the loss of her cash. Be
ware, ye impulsive maidens and widows, of
i larceniout lovers whose tender protestations
are prompted, not by Cupid, bnt by Cupidity.
