' They say she's a good Church-wom
an,' Mrs: Regley went on, rocking in
her cozy chair before her bright-little
coal fire; 'still rin afraid -ghois a trifle
worldly. No parents for years, you see,
and she.a rich girl. Her dresses are very
costly, though very charming too. I'm
rather surprised; my clear, tijat, you don't
call her handsome.'
• ' lla❑dsomo ! She's glm:iously—almost
divinely—beautiful,' muttered Paul.
Rtigley Pi himself, as he sought . ltis own
room. I never saw a woman to com
pare with her—never.'

asked his brother, one day, at Paul was
standing in the hall, pl'eparatory to
leaving for his clarch study. It was
choir night, and he always made it a
Point to be present at rehearsals.
No ' ho replied, pulling at his gloves.
'Pdon't think she has sung sinee , Xsl
has been here—at least., I don't know,'"
ho added, with some confusion.
Oh yes, two or three times,'hut you
\vele. away. Tim remember the , night
you wore at lientlcy'e wedding? We
had a treat. I don't know what to com
pare hoe voice to ; ilc melody is perfect
'She wilf probably run into the choir
nesting with Stella. That young lady
fa union she can go wherever uncle Paul
lees. May lie Miss Millicsnt will sing.'
I'aul was in a tremor at CIIs. It was
more, than likely, as his brothrr's wife[
was 1)110 or the choir.
Pshaw ! what he muttered
to himself, \viten Ito found he had been
holding the prayor-book upside down
fill' the live minutes, I in
his study, he listened for the plea,utt,
vuice that too:: the lead in .the merry
chat as we!l as singing.
' There ! Mks U: acmerhasopened the
organ. I hope they will get on with the
lii ! that's not Jenny's
voice ;' he held his breath as he
listened, told Its heart beat fastc:. It
was 31illicent Dunallan's clear, bird-like
soprano, ringing, IlutJAlke, th•rungh all
the archestbf St. Mary's, eckwing along
the empty °biotech till it seemed like the
voiee of some:mgt.!, no clear, so tri t impl ) ,
ant, so soulful. Hew could, Paul for
bear to thank her Ile made his way
into the dimly lighted church, whose
pillars stood like solemn ghosts draped
in white down the long aisles, into the
choir seats ; and Millicent's great, violet
eyes, timd; yet proud and truthful too,
sparkled at the few words, of commen
dation dint fell from his lips.
'She is a rare jewel,' said Paul to him
self. 'but, Ih 1
.var, my reach ;' and
forthwith, after the fashion of other men
and loners, began to torment himself.
But Millicent, though naturally a little
reserved was Very gracious to Mill.
Little Steil, his brother's only chid, was
an innocent and unconscious stiiirulant
to his passion.
'lsn't Miss Millievut beautiful, uncle
Paul Y she often said. 'O, Ido love her
so dearly I. She's nicer than all the young
ladies I know. Don't you think so?'
And then she would repeat some little
pleasantry, some trifling word she had
eau ° glit as it fell from the ruby lips of
Miss Dunallan ; and, child that she was,
would wonder at the flush in her uncle's
face, or the wairnth with which he kissed
The months passed on, and Pk el
fancied that Millicent was not averse to
rcceivitig his little attentions.. They
talked together in the sweet twilight
hours, and she sang for him, while the
Moments,' gOlden-footed, fled, till he was
fain to tear himself 'away Where sterner
duties called. They often left the house
together on the Sabbath, and the young
maidens of St. Mary's looked coldly
upon her, or leiit their ears with forced
attention when she sang ; for it, was
evident to the lookers-on that the rector•
was very deeply in love, and that ,a
stranger, scarcely mole than a shool
girl, had carried off the prize.
•By-and-by it was rumored that the two
fvere engaged. The rector had never
'seemed so handsome, so radiant, so per
fectly happy in all his life tieforc.
against it as he would, whet, he preached,
yore the eyes tom which he
looked, hers was the praise he • longed
tor.
' God fuOid that my loydbecanio

'On-his entrance to flio chancel, and then

Millicent was beautiful, accomplished,
well.cducated; and de'vont. Ho would
not allow himself to ft?ar that she was
proud ,and worldly as' his mother had
said ;,her face was that of some sweet
saint.
But the time - of trial, was at hand,
Paul Begley was now .tu show the
strength of his character, the power of
his manhood, and the stability of his
priueiples.
`How is it, Paul, about the doWn-town

him one morning, as they sat at break

Millicent looked troubled.. She was
not .prepared for any sacrifice—hardly
know the moaning of the word, in fact—
llearly as she loved Paul; Mal she did
love him, though as yet heart hall only
spoken to heart in rmito but eloquent
language. And presently they talked of
other things, and Paul Sent along the
paSsidnato tidp,of his love the words that
had'been so long burning within him.
`But, if I am, to. be your wife, dear
Paul,' said Millicent, after a •iipturims.

It was at the close of that unhappy

had so often sat together. Little Stella
found him therevhis face buried 'in his
folded arms, and she came lightly rots
ward and touched his hair.
As he started up, almost wildly, the
child laughed. His soul 'had think(' to
the hope that it might have been Milli

',Why, -uncle Paul, how queer you

forward slowly, her soft Ales trailing

as if to return, but checked ! herself,

__'_Stellii_turned her attention - upon - her

discontent, .Child though oho wins, and
she fell to smoothing Lis hair and kiwi

Millicent-stood like a statue. 5'
"'''Uncle Paul, won'f, you tell 'me a

But perhaps the most rare and Gurioun
addition to my great show, and certainly
the most difficult to obtain, is a company
of four wild Fiji Cannibals ! I have
dud ill vain for years to secure spec

opportunity came-. Th reo of those Canni

I issionaries and my agent prevailed
!woe the copper. colored king to accept
a large sum in gold on condition of his

leave of absence to America for three
years, my agent also' leaving a largo

'within the time stipulated. Accompa
nying them is a half-civilized Cannibal
woman, converted and educated by the
Methodist missionaries. She reads flu
ently and very pleasantly from the Bible
printed in the Fijian language, and she
ah4ady exerts a powerful moral influ
ence over these savages. They take a
lively interest in hearing her road, the
history. of -, eur , Saviour. They earnestly
declare thoii• contletio Is tlect_cating_
'huinan flesh is wrong, and faithfully
prom ise.nevcr again to attempt it. They
are intelligent and docile. -Their char
acteristic! war dances and rude marches,
as well as their representations of Can

perhaps needless to ,add that tho
bonds for their return will be

'Phe following happy hit is from the
pen of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher as it
appeared in that excellent paper which

of Feb 28th, 1872 :

I may add that at .th• above ozhibi

that there was more 'danger of some

' I am very sorry to say, Mr: Barnum,'
said that honest, good-hearted manager,
'that our businesslore is'i4ortant and
serious. Although we, of dtinrse, like to
bow to four decision, and areready to
acknowledge that 'your experience is
greater than ours, we have had •a' long
`and serious. consultation ' this' morning,
and have unanimously concluded that,
your show is more than twice too larde
to succeed ; that you will lose nearly
"four thousand dollars if you try to drag
it all through the coUntry, and that your
only chance of success is to sell off more
than half of your curiosities and horses
and wagons, or else divip them into
three oncertainly two distinet7Shows.'
'ls this a, mutiny, gentlemen?', I
asked, with.a feeling and countenance
far from solemn.
'By no moans ry mutiny, father,' said
Hurd,' but really it is a very serious
affair. We have been making a careful
and close calculation.' Hero lie drew
from his pocket a sheet of paper covered
With figures, and read from it : The
expenses of your exhibitions, including
nearly a thousand men and horses, the
printing, boards, salaries, &c., will aver
age more thap $4, 000 per daTy. But call it
$4,000. You show thirty - weeks
-180 days. Thus your expenses for the
touting season, besides wear and tear
and general depreciation, will be at least
$700,000. This is about-twice as much
as any show ever tooklu in ono season,
except your own, last year. This is the
year of the Presidential election, which,
on account of politicial excitement and
mass meetings, always injures trAvoll ng
shows. Wo have carefully looks over
the towns which you will be able to touch
this summer, not going west of Ohio, for
you cannot get beyond that State in a
single season, and wo compute your re
ceipts at not over $350,000, which would
leave yoti-ti lose• of $3,70,000.
Are you not a little mistaken in some
of your estimates?' I asked,
' Mr. Barnum, figures never lie,' ex•
claimed Mr. Coup, with great earnest
ness, and, pulling a pocket map from Pis
breast pocket, he opened it, and I saw
that he was sot down for the next spokes
man.
'Our tennis cannot travel with heavy
Loads more than an average of twenty
miles per day,' continued Coup ; ' now
please follow the lines marked on this
map, and you will Ilnd that we sic com-
pelleVo make seventy-one stands where
there are pot people enough within live

Ho confessed that, they did.

Then, laughing heartily, I added :
' Gentlemen, I thank you for your
advice ; but I wpn't reduce the show a

I will add five or six hundred dollars per
day to my expenses r
My Assembled 'cabinet' rolled their
eyes in'astonishment.
' Father, are yOu crazy ?' asked Hord,
with a look of despair.
' Not much,' I replied.
' Now,' I continued, 'I see the show
is too big to drag from village to village
by horse power, and I have long sus
pected it would be, and have laid my
plans accordingly. I will immediately
telegraph to all the principal railroad
centres between, hero and Omaha, No

you what it will cost"to transport my

necessary, so as to hit good ' , sized towns

such a ligtire us I think it ought to be

THE STORY OF LcE Y.
'Last week, in a neighboring city, a

drama, for which we propose to make
room here. Wo believe its Meaning

class of our readers than oven the

who . had live boys already swarming and
siotablding'about the three roomed-house.
The baby shared the fate of solitary
girls among luothei•g. Slid' was the
something rare and unwonted which had
never come into their common. life be-
fore ; she was the bit of porcelain among
rough crockery ; her father and the
bigger boys dubbed her 'little lady;'
carried her out proudly on Sunday
afternoons; when their - own clothes
were coarse and patched enough ;
but she Myer lacked a bit of cm-
broidery or a feather in her cap. She,
unlike myriads of other 'children, was
born to no inexorable inheritance of

to work from the time they could walk.

There were chances for them fray'

daughter, delicately dregsed, that she
did not think of these 'chances;'
chances at. numbered not only

mothe - r's heart was sore and tender.
Why should not her little girl enter finto

from which she had been shut out?

She went to s*ehool years after her
brothers were at work, but learned little
more than to read atutwrito ; whatever
ability she had, assufetily did not lie id'
'book knowledge; and the boys bought
her a cheap piano at auction, on which
she strummed a few Street airs. People
who noticed the girl's readiness and

time she was making smite prey for
her, and offered to take her into their

was a certainty which to Lucy's vague
chanceS was an insult. Even drudgery
at home was spared ber, that she might
