THE LONE GRAVE.
BY MRS. B. C. HERRICK
Alone it sleeps 'neath the woodland glen,
One lonely grave seclrear ;
A simple mound of tnotildering earth,
With naught to guard it near.
Around that hallowed spot there rests
No mark of wealth or care ;
One simple stone alone can tell
The lost one sleeping there.
And strangers pause as tlley journey thus,
Few hearts can ever know.
Of one who in life's hopeful.morn
~.Had sighed for wealth and fame,
And sought amid earth's gifted ones,
Himself to make a name.
Till wearied thus4te laid, him down
• Beneath that woodland glen,.
And sadly breathed en earnest.prayer
That here his strife might, end.
No angel spirit hovered near
To soothe hiti parting breath,
Or kindred friend TO drop a 'tear,
And close his eyes in death.

THE MANTLE OF. BEAUTY.
BY T. S. ARTHUR.
matter how unpleasant, they were cherishing
pride, selfishness, vanity, worldliness, envy
and ill-nature.
The time came, as years progressed', when it
was no longer said, "I pity her, she is so plain.'
Not that any saw signs of beauty in her face;
but did not appear in company as frequently
as her gay and brilliant sisters, who always had
around them a circle of admirers; but when
she appeared, she did not sit alone, as once,
nor so often 'form the subject of depreciating
comparison. Persons who had kept aloof from
her began to feel an attraction that drew them
to her aide; and many wondered with them
selves.how it was that they had been so slow
in 'discovering how greatly she was, in some
things, superior to her more showy sisters.
There was a sphere of tranquility about
Margaret felt , by every one who approached
her. The repose of her manner did not break
up easily, but to right sentiments and feelings
she responded with a warmth of expression
that veiled nothing of insincerity. In conver
sation, where the subject was agreeable, thought
would light up her countenance, and play over
it, in i mauifold changes. It was singularly
mobile to the mind—answering to emotion;
eqncteal ing• •
Time came when the two elder sisters found
themselves often less attractive in company
than the homely
‘ Margaret. Young men ;
whose favor they desired to win, were not in
frequently indifferent to all their arts and
blandishments; and, yet, stranger still, as it
appeared to them, so interested in Margaret, as
to be emulous of attention towards her.
it; is not always that truth comes to ears
most concerned in hearing it. Friends and
neighbors see and talk about.our personil de
fects, peon liarities,and hindering faults, though
we see them not, and, go on blindly indulging
them .to our loss and injury. Margaret's two
elder sisters still thought themselves beautiful,
winning, graceful beyond all comparison with
their Cinderella, as once they had been vain
and heartless, enoughAo call her. They did
not recognize the fairy work that, with slower
than old fairy touches, yet with more enduring
magic,. was •transforming her daily. But there
were eyes that, could see while theirs was
blind ;,,and it happened that, through the sense
of hearing, they gained a • knowledge of what
their sight had Jailed to give. The eldest—
her name .was Cordelia—nverheard , it matters
not as to the place and. circumstance, this con
versation.• ,It was between• two ; young men
with •whom she had.been long acquainted.
"I used to thick her beautiful," saidone.of
them.
"Cordelia ?"
"Yes."
"So did I. Three or four years ago, when
she and her sister first came out, with tho girl
ish bloom upon them, I thought them two of
the loveliest creatures I had ever seen. - But,
somehow, they have been fading, or changing,
ever since."
"There is nothing in them," said the first
speaker.
"Not much," was answered.
"They dress elegantly, and have a world of
sprightly gossip and small talk. But as to cul
ture of the heart or intellect, I have failed to
discover the signs. I was quite smitten with
Cordelia at first—actually in love with her
bright eyes and blossoming face—but I got
braiely over itiong ago: Beauty is very well
in these love matters, but a sensible man is
apt to look a little way beneath' the surface, to
see what kind of a' foundation beauty is rest
ing upon. Girls of this class are well enough
to•dance and flirt with; but for'the graver pur
poses of matrimony, none but knaves or fools
accept them."
"Thefe are knaves and fools about."
"0; yes, as witness the` wretched marriages
that are constantly taking place. 'There's a
following dancing attendance on Cordelia now.
who is just weak enough to marry her •as a
kind of show-wife. `• He thinks her queenly!
Of course, if the event comes off, there will
be- another miserable couple added to the list.
Both will find themselves disappointed."
"By the way," 'said the other, breaking in
upon his friend's homily, "what do you think
of the plainer sister?"
"Margaret ?"
. "Yes."
"I've ceased to call her plain."
"You would hardly call her beautiful."
• "I don't - know.. I have seen her when to
call her beatitiful would betio error of language.
The tact is, Margaret has puzzled me at times.
I grant you, that her features are not cut after
a '6laSsic model; nor is there what we some-
.
butes call 'style' in her face. She hasn't the

fine complex, nor the large liquid eyes of her
oldest sister; and yet her countenance is to me
far more attractive—it is so full of mind and
feeling. You forget, as you talk with ber, the
material lines of her face, in the beauty of
thought that transfigures it. Do you want a
higher style than this ?"
"And yet Margaret was very lonely. There
was a time when I 'almost wondered at her
courage in venturing to brave the comparison
that must be made between her and her sis-
tern."
"Yes T remember my first impression also.
But it gradually wore off as I came to kndw
the feet is, her beautiful soul shines through
its material veil, and you see the light and
lOveliness within. In the ease of her sisters,
the order is reversed. They have not, I fear
beautiful souls.
"The mantle they have so long worn in prid,"
was answered, "is dropping away from them,
and if they do not see to it will fall upon the
shoulders of Margaret. If I were 'choosing a
wife from among these three sisters, I should'nt
hesitate a moment."
"You would take Margaret."
"Yes."
"Not regarding mere beauty as anything
when put in contrast with excellence of charac
ter."
"I am a lover of beauty," was replied.
"Whenever the beautiful is presented, I find
myself a constrained worshipper. At first, I
saw beauty only in form and color; and was in
constant danger of accepting gilt and bloom
enduring substance. Twice I had been on the
eve of a marriage proposal, blinded, fascinated
by mere external charms. I shudder, some
times; when I think of' what I escaped in both
instances. The beauty lay only ou the sur
face. Gradually my mind became better in
structed. I was able to see the difference be.
tween real beauty and its fading semblance.
So, I am still a worshipper of beauty; but I
recognize its higher types. The surface of
things has grown transparent to my clearer
view "
"Then, in taking Marga'ret, you would still
have regard to beauty ?"
'Yes; to that beauty which fades not, and
which has power to mould even a plain face
into a likeness of itself!'
Cordelia heard no more. Though concealed
from view, she recognized the speakers' voices.
Hopes were dashed to the earth, which had
been fondly cheriShed. She understood some
things which had occasionally puzzled her
thought; knew not why it was that certain
young men, of high excellence, who so eagerly
sought her favor for a time, gradually with
drew themselves, and became attentive to what
she had ccusidered less attractive girls. There
beauty of which she had not dreamed ; a beau
ty to which she had not attained; a beauty
scarcely iecognized at first, but growing more
and more apparent, and putting forth allure
ments besides which all that she could offer
was but as the glityr of tinsel.
"Your sister is looking well to-night."
Cordelia started from her painful reverie at
the vioce of a matronly friend.
"Margaret, you mean," was her subdued re
ply. But for the conversation just heard, she
would have not thought of this sister.
' "Yes. flow much she has improved. I
hearit remarked on all aides. You must take
care, or she will bear off the palm."
The elder sister turned , her face away so that
its expression might nut be seen.
"She is so good, so true ; so full of that spon
taneous grace that comes from order and sym
metry within. She must have a beautiful
soul."
A year later, and Margaret was the bride of
a, man who once stood bewildered and fasci
'wed in the blaze of Cordelia's beauty—of
one who bad said of her, as many had said—
" What a pity, she is so plain!" And he was
a lover of beauty in all its forms.
RECTIFIED SPIRITS.
Some years ago, a chap in a town in the
State of Maine having played the "gay gal
lant" a little too freely to a distiller's daughter
—quite overstepping the modesty of nature—
was called to account by the old gentleman,
who demanded sharply, "what excuse be had
for such conduct ?" "Nothing," was the re
ply, "but exuberance of spirits." "Is that all
you graceless scamp ?" rejoined the old fellow,
as he brought his cane down on the floor with
terrible emphasis; "then let me tell you, sir,
the sooner you get them rectified the better.
