W. DISUSES Of
THE STONICH,
BLOOD.
`'Our old- bachelor enjoying, as we
have said, the privileges of eccentricity,
it excited no surprise when on one oc
casion, after an absence from home, Iv
wrote to inform his servants-Ain - old
couple Who bad lived with Win for
years—that be would be accompanied
by a widow lady, who was likely to
mike a long stay in his house, and for
whom: apartments were to be got ready.
'And a pretty upset she'll make I' ex
claimed the dismayed old housekeeper,.
`a fussy, middle-aged party, no doubt;
ordering and . interfering and wanting
to have everything her own way Which
she won't get, John, as long as we can
prevent her. She'll be a clever madam
if she gets her . foot inside of my store
room while there's locks and bolts to
keep her out, 1 . 6 n tell her.'
'Don't you m ale so sure,' said Jahn.
The old man could not resist now and
then, teasing his helpmate as a little set
off against sundry naggirgs on the part
of that good old lady. 'Maybe it's
,a
mistress of Gel house and of yourself
that's coming o it. 'Then widders are

master is ever to marry, that—'

Mrs. John: This dire suggestion was
too 9verpowering for her feelings. ,
The appointed day arrived, and When
the cab drove to the door, the two
old domestics with very sonAice . s and
their backs very much up; went to re
ceive their master and ;his unwelcome
guest. Their first glimpse of thn latter
showed. them that tbnY might.' have
spareff their fears and hostile intentions.
Out from the cab, before their aston
ished eyes, sprang a - girlish figure,
whose bright, happy face contrasted,
cariosly with her mourning 'garments.
'Mind the step, uncle I' ('Oh, his
niece, she is I') she cried, tripping np
to the hall door. 'Don't trouble,
please,' with a smile to the old house
ket'per; , 'that base is too heavy _ for you
to take; I'll carry it.' " .

And when the stranger came down to
breakfast next morning with a morsel
of a cap perched on the top ;of her gol
den braidi of hair ('not my' idea of a
widow's cap,' said the dame to her hus
band; 'and would you believe it, John,
;pinging away like a bird while, she was
Idiessing 1") she looked absurdly young;
more like a girl in her teens than an
experienced, 'settled' matron.
The advent of his pretty niece made
some change in the habiti of the old
gerrleman. He had friends at dinner
more frequently than of yore; and in
addition to the elderly fogies that form
ed his usual 'society, younger. gueks
were invited, suited to the years of his
visitor.

It was wonde-ftd how the old house
was brightened up by the presence of
its blithe young . inmate. But b.y ... no
one was its pleasant influence more:felt
tban by the domestics, who had towed
such hostility before her arrival, ITtie old
woman especially was devoted to bir;
loving her for her own sake, as :well as
for the kindly help and good offices she'
was always reciving from the deft and
willing hands of the young girl. In the
store-room—that sacred retreat which

ter was to belound on 'company days,'
busy and happy as a bee; with _sleeves

her hectiy crepe skirts stowed away
under one of the old lady's capacious
holland;aprons, and lappets
, pinned
high over her' head while laughing mer

herself, she worked away at the cakes
and sweets, taking a world of trouble
off the Ponr housekeeper's hande.

then she'll work away, her tongue go

In
-order to explain platten it will be
necei.sary to go back some months
previone to the arrival of the young lady
at her uncle's house; as 'well as to
change the scene from it to a country "
cottage in a remote part of England—
home of the widowed sister of the ec
centric bachelor. In it we find him
peeing up and down the drawing-room
mid i listening to the •querulous com
plaints that its occupant, a couflrmed
invalid, is tittering from the seta on
which she lies. 'I think but little of
my bodily sufferings,' she is saying;
'they cannot now last long. tray day
I feet more plainly that the end is not

`The future of my child when I am

with me. She will Ise penniless, and
the thought of what is to become of her,
east on the world without a home,
'haunts 'me night and day. , It is too
dreadful 1'
'A girl—and young—and not bad

The sick woman could not ferlieliif a

'Ab, but there are no men, no fools

nursing me and tied to a sick room,

The mother's tears began to fiow".
Her hearer, never very , amiatly inclined
towara the weaker sex, or at ease in its
•
company, increased his , quarter-deck
pipings in much discomfiture as these
symptoms of 'water-works turned on'
becate apparent. His hurrid steps
soon subsided ? however, to a steady
march up and down the little drawing
room, while with frowning brow and
occasional ckuckles, be seem to be
concocting some - scheme. .After a few
minutes he came to a sudden halt, e
fore the invalid's sofa. .
'Can Magid act ?' be asked abruptly.
'Act? How do you mean ?
you needn't look frightened;
I'm not going to propose serisiing [her

and women ! 004' growled the cynie)-.--
'except thaesort of thing abe has never
seen or had any opportunity ot Nang.
Why do yori ask'?' •
And in reply her brother unfolded
the plan be had been concocting—name=
ly, that his niece, laying aside her
'frippery and her trinkets and other
girl's n'onsenser i l---was to put on the
mourning garb and act the part of a
-widow, i n which assumed character she
was to come to stay with him in his
London , home.
'But !don't understand'-

When her first surprise at her nacle'a
strange proposition was over, the young
girl jumped eagerly at the prospect of
a change from the dull home she never
yet ,had left. She was 'young- and
spirited; at an age when love of variety
and a longing to see the world and
plunge into its unknown delights, are
natural. The playing the :widow she
thought would be excellent fan. There
was a spice of adventure in it, and it
would be like the private theatricals and
acting charade!' she had read of and im
agined so pleasant. The old gentle'
man's reason for wishing her to do so
'was a puzzle; but then Who amid won

that he was I Perhaps it was to' avoid
having to provide a chaperon ter her;

The result , of the 'deem we hive
seen; and the scheme itself was what
its originator proceeded to- divulge to
the would-be husband when that indi
vidual presented himself with ocinsider
able misgiving and agitation on the ap
pointed morning. , ,
'As the lady, hat; not. turned out to be
what yon took her for. is not. in fact, a
widow, perhaps the whole matter may
be off. A disappointment, no doubt,'
wound up the uncle with one of his
brief chuckles; 'but 'twas only right to
tell you in time. Young man, if you
can pardon the deceit, take her.'
'Well,' exclaimed the young man to
hisfiancee, when, allthinp were cleared
up and satisfactorily arranged, the en
gaged pair were bilking over the queer
circumrtance •that had brought them to

The Duck Hunter's Story:
'Speaking of duck shooting on St.
Clair Flats,' sighed an old citizen, as he
took a seat in a gun store yesterday;
'I don't think there are as. many birds
up there as there were ten or. fifteen
years ago. Why, sir, the channels
used to be justiblack with 'em, and they
were so tame that you could knock 'em
on the head.'
Everybody sighed to think those
good old days and ducks could never
return, and the veteran hunter con
tinued:
remember I was out one thy in
April. I got in among the bipeds, and
how many do you suppose I counted r
`Three hundred,' ventured one of the
audience after a long interval. •
'Three hUndred ? Why, I always
killed over a thousand every time I
went out f No; sir, I 'counted over
sixteen thousand, great,, fait, plump,
delicious ducks, and then; I had ,only
counted those on one aide of the boat l'
'How long did it take you ?'
'I don't know, sir. I had nq watch
with me. Time is nothing to a man
counting ducks. I counted aloud, and
when the ducks were small I counted
two for one. By and
. by I got tir e d
of counting and got ready foi` the
slaughter.'
'Bo* many did you kill ?' !
'Well, now,. I suppose I could -jie
about it and say I. killed nine or ten
hundred, but I'm getting too -near the
- grave for that. No, I didn't kill a
blasted one, and that's where the
strange part of the story comes in.
When I began to lift that gun up, those
ducks knew what I was up to just as
well as a human being, and what did
they'del Why, sir, about two hun-f
aired OVem made a sudden dive, swam
under the boat, and raised up on her
port side at once and upset her ! Yes,
sir, they did, and . there I was in the
North Channel, in teu feet of water,
boat upset, night coming on,and I, in
my wet clothes.'
'Well?.', -
-Well, I climbed up on the bottom of
the boat, floated five miles; and was
picked up by two Indians. We towed
that upset boat to an island, and here
another curious thing comes in. tinder
the boat were two hundred and sixty
tour large, .plump ducks. They had
been caught there when she upset, and
all we bad to do was to haul 'em out
and rap 'em on the head.'
'Why, why didn't,' they dive • down
and get from under the boat ?' asked
an amateur duck shooter.'
•Why didn't they; sir?—why didn't
they ? Well, sir, I,s:eight hhve asked
'em why they didni; but it; was late, -a
cold winfhad.spniug up, and I didn't
feel like talking ! All I know, 18 that I
counted over riiteen thousand ducks,
was upset, captured two hundred and;
sixty-four, and have affidavits here in
my wallet to prove everything I have
stated. Does any man here want to
see the documents ?'
No roan did. They all looked Out of
•the windows and wondered if: they
could lie that way when they had passed

It is'one of the ingenious theories'of
science that all flowers were originally
yellow.. This foreaula leaves us in a
world •of conjecture as to boW.Moses
made his floral selectionO, when gather
ing the various tribes of plants for per
petuation in the ark. The resolution
of the problem involves no important
principle,: so we may pass to a more
generic phase of this interesting, theory.
All'colors in their primary condition,
science tells - us, were almost uni-hued.
Yellow seems to have been the base.
Bright hues came froM, the need of the
development of the species. All flowers
that expand into variegated and bright
colors do so by the law of their being.
That law invests them with the shades
that attract the peculiar insects upon
which the color of the flower is fed.
This is the.point that suggests ,curious
reflections and analogies. The tinebien
firm person is prone to suppose that the
insect feeds on the flower; but it seems
this is a fallacy. The nutrition is inter
dependent:
The delicate red of the rose is engen
dered by the larvae left. in its petals,
•while the industrious. bee is filling his
honey reservoir. Floviers, of course,
are very interesting. A biiiich of them
on a lady's hair or bosom is a sight of
real-beanty. But why should science
devote ao much care to Mere inanimate
loveliness, when there so many more
interesting' questionii that that the
world would like resolved? If color is
fed as the Scientists tell us, 'what is the
origin of the ruby on the lips? Of
course, the theory of the cynical, that
purely human alembics proddc'elibe
delicate-carmine that poets write about
with' inch rapture, cannot be for a Mo
ment considered. How can the color
of the lips be fed? There is no insect
known to man that impregnates the
portals of pretty, months. The idea of
certain foods bringing about this , phe
nonenon must also be rejected, fOr do
we not see daily in the same family lips
ted from the very Bayne aliments as di

There is but one rational theory . to
accept in , this interesting dilemma.
The lip is fed by the kiss! 4 What more
natural? Any observent person may
teat this by making the effect produced
by the encounter of these organs.
Sometimes, it will be seen, the color of
the lips is not only enhanced, but the
whole face is fed npon this exquisite
nourishment Indeed, close observers
will bear witness that the roseate tinge
extends downward to the neck—prov
ing incontestably that the kiss is the
scientifiC explanation of
- the crimson so
much admired, on the lips of 'beauty.
It will not,'howr..ver, be safe - to assume
from this interesting evidence, of the
scientific office of the kiss that tlie color

quent, liming leaves the Titian tinge
ladies admire so much,—on their neigh
bors! It is- a curious circumstance, too,
corroborating this, theory that, until
lips are touched by monstacbes, they
never bloom into such rose-like loveli
ness as we observe in marriageable
girls or reigning belles. Girls who
have numerous brothemand cousins, it
will be 'observed generally have the
best colored lips.
These hints given, any discerning
person can take up the- subject and
find useful diversion in the speculation.
Young men will naturally take up the

Beginning with their sisters, the invest
igations may be carried on among other

been accumulated to take ' the matter
from the narrow field of speculation in
to the ground of absolote fact. 'Some
philosophers hold that the deep bine of
the eye and the empyrean comes from
the condensation of opaque. molecules.
It will undoubtedly be found tharthis,
too, is an error; that the blue of the eye
has a subtle relation to the impression
of the lips. Indeed, a man at all well

was seen looking into a funnel shaped
orifice fifteen or twenty feet deep 'by
