A PATTERN OF VIRTUE. BY MRS. GBORGE COItHKTT. [Copyright, 1804, by tho Author.l WONDER how lIT many people ■J bridge, looking down upon the ever-moving river, and feel ing themselves irresistibly at tracted by the weird fascina tion of its cruel waters! Hut one cannot wondei at the eerie in fluence it ex erts upon the miserable. One moment's nerve—one plunge—one splash—a short struggle—and the stress and angu'sh of life are left behind! And the Hereafter, what of it? It is truly an inscrutable puzzle. Hut "the sudden recollection that an account of earthly doings may be required of us in another world has nerved many a desperate victim of misery to furthei endurance, and cheated Father Thames of much of his prey. It was different with Lucy Mark ham. She was so desperate, so despair ing, and so wildly reckless, that noth ing but the forcibly detaining arms which I flung around her would have prevented her from jumping into the river, and putting an end to a young lite that had only seen seventeen suin- "Let ine go!" she shrieked. "How dare you hinder me? Can I not do as I like with myself?" "No." I panted, as I vainly strove to avoid the blows with which the fran tic girl sought to release herself from my grusp. "1 will not let you go until you promise that you will not put an end to your life." "Let ine pro!" fihe repeated. "I will do as I like! All the world has forsaken me, and I owe it no duty now. You can't hold me much longer, and you shall see how soon 1 will eud it all." "Never! If I don't get your promise, I will scream for help, and then you will be locked up until your senses come back to you." My determination had its effect. She ceased to struggle, and looked solemnly at me with big, lovely eyes, to which the pale light of the moon seemed to give an uncanny glitter. "Who are you?" she asked, "that you should so concern yourself about the fate of a stranger?" "1 am a friend of humauity, I hope." "Humanity! My God! How much hu manity has my short life met with? And what sort of a specimen of humarf ity do you suppose me to be?" "Unfortunate; that is evident. Not naturally depraved, I am sure. The victim of some scoundrel, I iinagino. A fitting subject for help and counsel. That is certain." "Help and counsel! Oh, how I have prayed for them! and now it is too late!' lJuti saw that 1 had conquered. The fierceness of the girl's frenzy had passed, and the crisis in her fate was over, l'oor child! how my heart bled for her! It is sad to witnoss despair at anytime. Hut saddest of all is it to recognize the insatiate ghoul on the face of those to whoui life should just be opening wide its portals of joy. "Perhaps 1 can afford you help and counsel," I said, soothingly. "People would never find themselves utterly forsaken, if they only knew to whom to apply in their need. Tell mo about yourself. It will relievo you. What is your name, and where do you live?" "My name," was the bitter answer, "has been disgraced, and I will not add to my folly by involving my family in my disgrace. As for my home, it is tru y a magniilccnt one. The air, the sky, the water and the rouring noises of civilization are all mine to enjoy ad libitum. Why, lam quite rich!" As the stranger made the last re mark, she lost her self restraint, an' l "LET ME GO!" Robbed with hysterical violence. I felt very muck relieved at this outburst, for 1 knew that though it would probably leavo the girl faint and exhausted, it would also leave her in a more gentle and pliable frame of mind. My judgment proved correct, and I was presently fully confided in. It was the old story of blind -trust and delib erate betrayal, and is soon told. Lucy Markham had boon well educated and delicately reared, but was without relatives or near friends at the time I found her. Her mother had died eighteen months before this. The pen ury consequent upon the previous death of the father had been partly met by disposing of thefurniture aud other ef fects, and when Lucy was left unpro tected, she was also quite without means. Hut she meant to be very industrious and attentive to her duties and quite expected to earn her living easily in London. So she migrated from the quiet little Surrey village whero she had seen so much sorrow to seek and l to find employment in one of the greatest hives of wickedness the world had ever known, to wit— London. When her employer began to pay he? little attentions she felt fluttered. When ho requested lior to observe the strictest secrecy regarding- his stealth, ily-bestowed attention she believed his representation that her fellow em ployes would be spitefully jealous if they suspected which way the wind was blowing. When he took her to u pretty house she never doubted his as sertion that marriage would follow im mediately upon her transference thither, and it was with a feeliug of rapturous pride that she obeyed his in junctions to the letter and allowed her self to be introduced to the servant as "Mrs. Milliard," "just for the look of the thing," as Mr. Collinson said. Asked what the servant would think of her being called "Mrs. Collinson" soon, the specious schemer replied that the servant really knew all particulars, and that it was the neighbors for whose benefit the little temporary deception was intended. But it soon transpired that Lucy her self was the object of deception. The self-styled Mr. Maynard had ever some excuse ready for putting off the mar riage until his victim felt herself hope lessly compromised. The servant was his willing tool, and when he got tired of his toys he had no difficulty in get ting the servant to help him further in his rascally work. The latter con trived to tell Lucy that all the neigh bors already looked down upon her, and that she, being kept by a man to whom she was not married, was con -Mi I . As.,, Mf);! i®y^t I LAID TUB FACTS UKFOIIK HIM. flidcrcd beyond the pale of respectabil ity. Innocent the girl was. Hut who would believe her protestations to that effect? In the face of her apparent guilt no one would do it "It's no use crying over spilt milk," said the servant "The master will bo kind and generous to you as long as he likes you. Hut you will have to give up such a notion as marrying so rich a man as-he is. Take my advice, and get all you can out of hirn while you have the chance. He'll soon fall in lovo with somebody el3e." Lucy's heartbroken threat to expose her betrayer only provoked the de rision of the servant "You would very likely get locked up for attempted blackmailing," sho said. "lie has been too careful for such a greenhorn as you to circumvent him. lie has never been here to sou either you or tho house except after dark, and nobody would believe you if you said Mr. Maynard was Mr. Collin son. He is supposed to have nearly broken his heart when his wife died and if over anybody was looked upon by tho worl l as a pattern of virtue, it ii the man whom you, a bit of a shop girl, expected to marry you. You would only get yourself laugliod at and despised. So take my advice, and don't be fool enough to fly in tho face of for tune yet." Even after those revelations, the poor child could hardly believe in tho utter basoucss of her betrayer. Hut in her next interview with him she was soon convinced of the fact thatt he man whom she, in common with tho rest of tlie Avorld, regarded as a pattern of virtue, was, in reality, a monster of deceit and vico. That night she escaped from her pretty homo, and from then until I saved her from self destruction she ha I undergone all manner of rebuffs, dis appointments and privations, which were enough to drive any other modest girl to the refuge of the wretched. I found a temporary home for Lucy and promised to put an end to her troubles in some way or other. Nor did I doubt my ability to do this. Lucy believed an appealer a throat of expos ure to be equally vain weupons to uso against Mr. Collinson, but I was more worldly wise and more sure of success. I saw that as yet the girl was not fit to cope with tho world, and 1 determined to make the "Pattern of Virtue" pro vide for her comfort. In this determi nation Lucy's own guileless and simple nature aided mo. Though tenacious of her honor she dtd not recoil from the idea of compelling Mr. Collinson to pay for his deception, as many a girl of more vigorous mind whose feelings had been outraged would have done. 1 confess to feeling more than slight ly malicious when 1 went to interview tho great draper and clothier,who soon found that he had a much more expe rienced woman than simple little Lucy to deal with. Ilis dismay when I quiet ly laid the whole array of facta before him and proved the strength of my position, was comical to witness. At first he tried to frighten me with his bogie reputation as a pattern of virtue. Hut l had several cards up ray sleeve, and as I played them, one by one, ho realized that if I were to make a public exposure of ouly one-half tho seedy facts I had been able, with tho aid of my colleagues, to ru' up against him, the world would know him in all his carnal hideousncss, and a va3t num ber of people wouli take their custom elsewhere. Before 1 had done with him 1 con vinced him of the expediency of provid ing liberally for Lucy for at least tivo yeqj-s to come, and I declined to be sat isfied with less than three hundred per annum for that period. It was a bitter pill for him to swallow, but he saw no other way out of the cmbroglio into which his scoundrelly nature had brought him, aud I carried my point A Fluhlnc Disaster.

CHERRA PONGEE, in southwestern Assam, is the wettest place in the world, the average annual rainfall there being six hundred and ten inches. IN Japan a man can live like a gen tleman for about two hundred and fifty-dollars a year. This sum will pay the rent of a house, the salaries of two servants and supply plenty of food. THOSE who suppose that the people of all China use the same language are badly mistaken. There are as many different dialects spoken in the Flowery kingdom as there are in all Europe.

A CALF with eight legs and two tails, all perfectly formed, was lately added to the live stock of Georgo Buhl, of Fresh Ponds, N. J. A rio fifteen months old that meas ures six feet long and weighs nearly five hundred pounds is owned by Wiley Neville, of Brassville, N. C. A GRAY fox on a West Chester (Pa.) farm is on terms of friendship with a lot of young beagle dogs and frequently sleeps in the same pen with them. A SPIDER with legs four and one-half inches in length, a back three inches one way and four and one-half the other, and weighing nine ounces, has been reported from Alabama. A TREE that smokes has been discov ered in the Japanese village of Ono. It is sixty foot high, and just after sun set, every evening, smoke issues from the top of the trunk. It is called the volcanic treo. VALUA3LE FINDS. A FRENCH priest stationed at Jerusa lem has been the fortunate finder of ''a talent of the time of King David." It was unearthed in his dooryard. AN old pair of boots was found in an outhouse by Willinin Langsdorf, of Bee county, Tex. Ho needed them, and while putting one on his foot met with an obstruction. It proved to be a roll of greenbacks, amounting to five hun dred dollars. JOHN INGRAM, of West Chester, Pa., has come into possession of an English spit with clockwork attachment for turning a fowl while roasting before the fire. This relic has lain for over n century in the loft of an old mill in Upper Oxford township. SAVILIAN BEEDE, of Salem, Conn., while spearing for eels, caught one which contained a gold chain bracelet that had been dropped overboard last July, by a young lady who was once a resident of Essex. She rewarded liim with a twenty-dollar gold piece. ON THE WATERS. ONE of the curious things about the gulf stream is that no whales are found in it. THE Dakota river is the longest un navigable river in the world—over 1,000 miles. THE greatest recorded depth of Lake Michigan is 870 feet. The mean depth is 325 feet. VESSELS of 2,000 tons carry seven an chors, four of a maximum weight of 18 tons, with about 300 fathoms of cahle. STEEL has boon used for ship-build ing only fourteen years, yet it is esti mated that 90 per cent, of the vessels built at the present day aro of steel.

It la All the Vogue for Spriugtim J Entertainments. ! A Delightful Combination of the Dalit!y with the Elegant—Every Dish, Cup o - Raueer ysed Must Re of Genu ine Dresden China. A very dainty and flowery style of luncheon is the vogue for springtime ; entertainments, and into its scheme enter all the features, each and every one, of the pretty table and its setting | forth. This is known as the Dresden 1 luncheon. First of all it is imperative that the menu be as simple and limited as good taste will allow. Five courses, or six, including cof fee, are now considered sufficient for the most elegant and formal luncheon party. A hostess bears in inind that it is supposedly a slight midday meal that she is serving to guests who have breakfasted late and whose din ner in the evening will be more or less elaborate and substantial. Bouillon, game, an entree, a salad, dessert and coffee, is the accepted menu. With this most sensible innovation of simplicity care is taken that the ap pointments of service and tabic deco ration arc as light and daiuty as the re past. That they are very handsome and exquisite in detail does not mean that the effect of simplicity is not se cured in peffection. The Dresden luncheon is considered to combine the dainty with the ele gant more delightfully than any other design of artistic entertainments yet seen The keynote is the blending everywhere upon the table of the del icate Dresden china colors, blue, piuk, I yellow and violet. The fine flowers seen upon the royal ohina are scattered in embroidery over the linen centerpiece; on this stands a [ Dresden bowl holding an old-fashioned nosegay of pink rosebuds, hot-house daisies with their yellow centers, pan sies and heliotrope. These are tied NAME CARDS FOR A DRESDEN LUNCHEON. loosely together with a bow of blue ribbon, which gives the needed touch of that color, unless one is able to get natural forget-me-nots or some other fine blue flowers, like scillas. A lew ' I airy and smaller bunches of the same flowers, in little cut-glass stands, are placed about the table. The candelabra have pink rose shades. The finger-bowl mats are embroid ered to match the Dresden flower cen terpiece, and floating in the water of the bowls are the different flowers; a few rose petals in one, a daisy in an other and a pansy in another until each has one. Every cup, saucer, plate or dish used is of Dresden china, the greater the variety of their shapes the prettier. The ice cream is served in small satin cases, in the different pale colors, blue, pink, violet and yellow. When boxes in these colors cannot be procured plain white is used. On the top of each is tied a little bunch of satin flowers composed of tiny pink rose buds, blue forget-me-nots, a daisy, a bit of heliotrope, or a few violets. At the place of each guest is a name card, done in the Dresden design. The cards are of water-colors paper and the design painted in water color. The color of the painted ribbon bows in the designs given varies in the dif ferent cards in blue, pink, yellow and violet, and where the loop and end ex tend over the edge they are cut out, making the ribbon look more realistic. The sign of all Dresden ware from the royal factories is the tiny blue crossed swords 011 the reverse or bot tom of the dish, without which no piece is genuine; so on the back of the cards one must be sure to paint the sword sign in just the right shade of old blue, thus making complete the idea of a veritable feast of of royal Dresden. A very new and pretty design for name-cards at these luncheons is the violet one shown in the second picture. A plain white or cream square envelope is used for this card. Where the name is to be seen an opening like that of a picture frame is cut through the face of the envelope, a line of narrow gild ing finishing the edge. The name of the guest is written 011 a plain card and put inside the envelope; RO as to show through the opening. Some other small graceful flower in place of the violet is sometimes painted on it with good effect; and if one col or, as yellow, for instance, predomi nates in the table decorations, a design of jonquils or buttercups is chosen. A cardboard rest is tied in at the top of these envelope cards by a narrow ribbon caught through two little slits in the envelope over the one in the rest itself. They are then stood around the table like dainty little picture frames, which in reality they are, making the most charming souvenirs when taken home anil a small photograph substi tuted for the card with the name on it It would be dillleult to conceive a more spring-like picture than this ' dainty Dresden table, surrounded by pretty girls in light flower-like toilets fluttering with the laces ami ribbons of the present modes.— Judith Carring- I ton, In Chicago Becord.
