And the pafo boarder slept that niht in a rose-scented room, with a 'trip of bright rag-enrpeton tho floor, lmnd pniuted china vases on the wooden mantle, and cheap mnslin cur tains nt tho window, aftr a supper of blackcaps ard milk, delicious home made brcu l, fresh honey and johnny cake. "Two dollars a week for such fnro as this, to sny nothing of my cunning littlo corner room 1" said Mr. Browne to himself. "I never hoarded ao cheaply before in all my life." At tho end of a week he WhS more than delighted. Mrs. Troop was the kindest and most motherly of hos tesses. Barbara was the impersonation of sweet and gracious refinement. Tho mountain was full of purple glens, merry voiced cascades, winding footpaths nnd breezy heights. Mr. Browno enjoyed himself intensely. Ho believed thut ho had come to tho right place. "Don't you think," said Barbara to her mother, "that he's very strong for a consumptive?" "It's that herb tea and the diet of honey and new milk that is building him up," said Mrs. i'roop,triamphant I.v. "I never knew it to fail yet iu lung diseases. But he's very pleasant, Barby, isn't he?" "Very !" said Barbara, earnestly. Mr. Browno had not been a month at tho littlo cottage on the mountain when, overtaken by a sudden shower, ho sought refuge in an old, unused barn not far away from the house, where a thicket of blossoming elder berries concealed tbo rude stono base ment, and a veteran yellow pine tree tluug its banner of black green shade over tho mossy shingles of the roof. I'miKcd, except to stow sweet hay in nud in ouo corner a little chamber had been finished oil long ago with a brick chimney and a tiny paned lattice. The door was half open, and Mr. Brow no could liscern a little cot bed, draped with white, a dimity covered toilet fdutid, whose coarse, cheap bowl and pitcher were enriched with purple and crimson autumn leaves iu hand painting, and a littlo needlework rug which lay at the foot of tho bed. "Ah," said Mr. Browne to that best of confidants, himself, "I comprehend it all now ! I have displaced Mad emoiselle Barbara Ironi tho littlo cor ner room iu tho cottago. i Upon my W'jrd, I feel like a usurpet I i Bat how good they are, this mother and daugh ter, whoso only iucome is lerived from this preeirious occupation of taking boarders!

"Yen," haid he, "I am going to ro t'liu to New York. But I shall leavo soiuethiug behind mo." "We shall bo very happy to take charge of anything for you," said Barbarn, who was sorting ovur red cheeked pears for preserving. "Shall you? But you don't know what it is, Barbara," suddenly lapsing into extreme gravity. "It is my heart. I am driven to confess that I have lo-it it and to you!" "You aro joking!" cried Barbara, coloring ami half-disposed to bo in dignant. "I never was more serious in my life,"usseverated Mr. Browno. "I do love you, dear Barbara, truly and ten ierly. Do you think you could daiM to trust your future to mo? Poor as I seem, I could yet give vou a good home." "Oh, I am not afraid of that!" said Barbara, with risiu color uu 1 droop ing eyel i.tln's. "I have l,eun brought up to bo independent, y,i know, and I lielievo 1 could earn a littlo money by art work, if 1 ever hi I the chuuce. It if you really care for me " 'My own darliug !" Then --yes, I ! love you!" So Barb ira was wooed and won. "Of course, the dear littlo mother must live w ith us," said Mr. Browno. "1 couldn't do without her!" Mrs. Troop, who hud ouce more joined tho group, looked worried. "Is it a tint?" said she, wistfully. "N'o. I oujupy -i whoiu house." "But, dear mo!" cried tho mother-in-law-elect, "isu't that extrava gant V" "I think uot," aaid Mr. Browne, seriously, "But must you reully be married at once?" "1 should liko to carry both Bur bara and you back to tho city with mo," said tho lover. "And poor Jane? Though, of course, it would be out of the ijuestiou for Barbara to keep a hired girl?" hesi tated Mrs. Troop. "Oh, Juno must como, too!" said Mr. Browno. "Bring her with you, by all means. We can manage it some how. To tell you tho truth" "Well?" said Mrs. Troop, eagerly! "I am a fraud and a delusion," cob- fessed Mr. Browne, while Barbara raised her soft eyes in amazement. "I am not the youngest clerk in the firm at all the youngest clerk went out to Bermuda, at the expense of the firm. I hope he is doing well in -that cli mate This man was Ferdinand Brown." I am Augustus Browne, tho youngest partner." "But however enmo you here?" eaTerlr questioned Mrs. Troop. "Didn't Mr. Fanshawo recommend yon?" "Not nt all. I came to the hotel, but it was full i and they thought that perhaps I would bo provided for at Mrs. Troop's cottage until there was a vacancy in tho Chocoraa House. But when the vacancy came I didn't care to claim it." "So you are not poor nt all?" said Barbara, in a low voice. "Not in your sense of tho word, perhaps; but I shall bo poor indeed, sweet Barbara, if I havo forfeited your favor," he uttered, fervently. "Nor consumption?" "No, nor consumption," he nl mitted. "You havo been deceiving us all along?" "Yes, I have been deceiving you all along," said Mr. Browne. "But, un der the circumstances, do you see how I could help it?" "It is very strange," said Barbara. "I ought to bo thoroughly indignant with you ; but somehow somehow I love you more desrly than ever." Mrs. Troop could hardly believe her own ears. A palace in Fifth avenue; a double carriage, driven by two fine gentlemen who wore choicer suits and glossier hats than the parson him self; double damask napkins, with monograms embroidered on them, at every meal; egg-shell china; all the luxuries which she had dreamed of, but had never known! And all these gifts bestowed by the hand of the poor young clerk whom she had undertaken to board at two dollars a week booanse he was alone and friendless, aud for whom she had saved tho choicest slices of honeycomb anil brewed the most invigorating herb-tea! "One often reads of theso things in novels," said she; "hut how seldom they come true in real life!" Kind, simple-hearted Mrs. Troop! If she had been a student of tho great "uovel" of Human Nature, sho would have known that we aro all of us liv ing romances at one time or another. And why uot? Is not tho world al ways full of Love and Youth. Satur day Night. What the Chinese tat. A member of tho English IVrlia mont, Florence O'Driscoll, has n live ly paper in tho Century describing life and street scenes in Canton. Mr. O'Driscoll Hays : The food purveyors mako a most striking display ; the fruiterers ex posed on Hat trays bauan.is, pineap ples, melons, figs, pears (the latter eutirsl to tho sifi J'-'J sJ tasteless), together with many Chinese fruits whoso shapes and tas;es wcro familiar to me, but whose names I know not. Some of theso fruits were most artistically peeled, pineapple peeling being quite an art. A great variety of vegetables was olTerod for sale. Among them wero tho white shoots of the bamboo, which seemed to bo a favorito article of diet. But to what use, indeed, may not this wonderful gras- be put? From it Chinamen make almost everything conceivable hats, cloaks, sheets, car pets, roofs, buildings, baskets, chairs, carryiug-poles, fishing-tools tho list might bo prolonged a 1 infinitum. And theu they eat it us well. Preserving ginger iu many forms was a noticeable trade. The roots were washed and left in water, as an English cook treats potatoes before boiling them. A number of men and women holding a two-pronged fork in each hand sat around a table with tho tubs of peeled ginger beside them ; they picked ginger roots out of the water, and, laying them on the table, pierced them all over very rapidly with both forks until quite soft. The pierced roots were theu put into an other tub, where they were boiled in syrup. The ginger went through various minor processes, until evontu ully it was packed in the earthern jars in which it is sold in European shops. The whole process was certainly a clean one, and the smell of the aro matic root in preparation was both grateful aud pleasant. In the bakers' shop I saw nothing corresponding to our Eugliih loaf; solid-looking yellow patties, slabs of flabby brown cukes, emblematio of concentrated dyspepsia; scones, or un equivalent, apparently of fried batter, aud great rlakes of milk white, slippery-looking paste not above an eighth of an inch thick to be rolled up and diftly sliced with a cleaver-shaped tool into long strings like macarom. Theso foods were to tie seen everywhere in tho city, but nothing light un I open. To my eyes tho breudst nil's seemed sad, solemn, soddenvd nud bilious. The Lion of Belgium.

TUE BIBLE'S HOME. WOXDEUFl'h WORK Of THE AMKHICAN nillLK SOCIETY. Seven Thousand IllMes Issued Pally They Are Sent to Kvery fjand and Are Printed In Hun flrelsof f language. NOT far from the bnsy whirl of Broadwav and with the Third Avenue Elevated trains run (, ning close behind it stands, at tho corner of Fourth avenue and Astor place, one of the most famous buildings in this country, if not in the world. Nothing in its architectural appearance, its h istory or its cost con tribute to its fame, for it is modestly constructed of red brick, has been the scene of no great event, and, as build ings are considered now, was built very cheap. Nevertheless, its name is known in every land beneath the sun ami spoken in nearly a hundred dia lects and languages. It may be said to be the American home of the Bible. From it issue each working day in the year 7000 Bibles and Testaments, more than 2,000,000 a year, that go into the four comers of the earth through the distributive agency of the American Biblo Society. For nearly eighty years this famous organization has carried on the work of spreading the word of Ood among men. The Ameri can Bible Society was founded ou the 8th of May, 1810. at a convention held in this city for tbo purpose, and at tended by delegates from thirty-five local societies, with tho same object, in various parts of the con u try. lion. Elins Bondinot, ot New Jersey, a son of a signer of tho Declaration of Independence, was the first President. He was succeeded in that office by tho lion. John Jay, and in tho eighty years of the society's life there have been a succession of men of National reputation nt the bead of the organization. Tho President now is the Hon. E. L. Fan eh or, who has held the oQlce nearly thirty years. The society is a benevolent institution, Those who founded it, and their sno censors, have even aimed by all wise methods to placo tho Holy Scriptures within tho reach of nil. I be publics tions of tho society arc iu no case sold nt a profit. Thoso who aro able to purchase them cm do so nt tho mere cost of their manufacture, while thoso w hoso circumstances cull for such con sideration are supplied without price. Tho society is also strictly unseo terinn. Its Board of Managers repre sents seven different denominations of Christians, It labors to circnluto tho Scriptures among nil classes impartial ly, nnd its affairs nre managed with out denominational bias or control. 1 ho government of the society is intrusted to a Board of Managers, con gisting of thirty-six laymen, one-fourth of whom go out of office each year. but are re-eligible. The number of cleiaJ a.AuuTtfn'W OTgaril'za-' tion of the society i t 'hundred aud twenty-oight. Since the society's organization, about six thousand persons have sustained toward it tho relation of life directors or life members. Many of theso havo already passed away to their heavenly roward. There nre still living, however, bo far ns the olllccrs can ascertain, moro than 10,001) of this honored company. Tho society has had ou its register for a considerable time about 2000 auxiliaries, nud theso have moro thai: 5000 branch organizations; so that it is probablj there aro not less than 7000 Bible societies in this country which, directly or indirectly, center in this institution. Tho workiug forco in tho Biblo House is divided into two branches the executive and manufacturing. Tho former comprises tho departments of the corresponding secretaries, tho treasurer au.l tho general agent. The I ttter includes the printing, electro typing, proof-reading and binding de partment!', and thoso of tho depositary aud engineer. In tho printing de partment and tho biudery many of tho employes aro women. The aggregate number of persons engaged iu tho service of tbo society in tho Biblo House docs not vary much from '2o0. II The society owns 133 sets of storo typo nud electrotype plates of the Bible, or portions of it, comprising S.'.OOO words. Since tho society was organize! its receipts havo been over $20,000,000, including legacies nuiouiitiug to 81,- ooo.ooo. Tho total number of volumes issued by the society, from ita organization, is .r,i5,!)2ii,771. Tho work of the society in distribu tion is really marvelous. IU ogeuts are iu every part of tho United States nud iu every heathen land. Among tho soldiers during the war, aud be fore and since, nearly 3,000,000 Bibles weredistributod. Iu 1SU0, to celebrate tho first half century of tho society's history, an organized attempt was mado to placo tho Bible iu every house not possessing one. This is tho third time such a task hud been attempted, and tho reports of 1SS2 showed that nearly 9,000,000 familiei were visited, and of these over 1,000,000 had no Biblo aud were supplied. In 18SJ the mauagers began a fourth supply which was fiuished in lH'JO, und showed thut Bibles were keeping puce with the growth of population. it u worthy to note that the eutire distribution of Scriptures iu this coun try, during tho eight years embraced iu the fourth rosupply, was 8,110,808 copies, in tweaty-soveii ditlertnt lan guages. Some of these are as follows : In Welsh, 2'.),'287; Lierman, 473,9-20; Dutch, 11, H07 ; Norwegian aud Dan ish, 153,707 ; Swedish, 220,777; Ital ian, 57,883; Finnish, 23U; Polish, 2317; Hungarian, 2513; Bohemian, V921 ; Chinese, 7213.

A High Honor. Charles Shartow, of Omaln, Neb., has had a great honor conferred upou him by Kaiser Wilheliu. The Kaiser has sent him an otlicial letter inviting him to visit Germany at tho imperial expeuse. The letter recalls to Schar tow's memory a day, August 1C, 1870, when the Prussian army was battling with the French at Mars la Tour, aud a mitrailleuse stationed . on a hill was decimating the German ranks. Near ly 150 men had fallen under its dead ly fire, and it was necessary that the gun should be captured, or the Ger mans could not hold their position. To charge the battery meant almost certain death, aud voluuteers were called for. Fifteen men went up the hill. The gun was captured aud silenced, but only three men came back from the deadly assault, and one of them was Schartow. New Orleans Picayune. To Extract the Essence From Flowers.
