A new• article in this market, and for supe r

First—They are free from twine, whi is
tilrected by the lime, and liable to rot, c s
ing the falling; out of the bristles.
Second—The bristles are inserted - in the
wood, of body of the brush, when'green,which
When dry, causes them to. be held firmly in
their place ; any subsequent soaking or brink
up hula to affect them.
Third.--They are made of Bristles exclusive

Fourth.—They contain more bristles for the

My love is D ot a beauty

Nor yet like rosebud, parted,
Her :lips of love may be;
Rat though she'd not a beinty.
he's clear as. one to me.
Her neck is far from swan-like,
Her bosom unlike snow;
Nor walks she like a goddess
This breathing world below.
Yet there's a light of happiness
Within, which all may see ;
And though she's not a beauty,
She's dear as one tome.
I would not give the kindness,
- The grace that dwells in her,
For all that Cupid's blindness
In others might prefer!
I would not change her aWaetriets 4 -.4

Far better, far, than beauty
Is one kind heart to me.
Ten Years
BY MARY CHIEF
William Britton registered hie name
among the arrivals at Saratoga and eat
down in the parlor-twilight, half discon
tented with himself for being there.
Many men find themselves in similar
places in a similar mood ; and, as in this
case, the motive power that brings
them there is found in the lovely crea-
Lure who travels with a dozen trunk;
said creature being a fashionable woman.
While be• waited and meditated, one
of these creatures fluttered in ; for the
quiCk, birdlike motions, and the Bat
swaying:: of delicate white fabrie's were
more like flutterings than decided
movements.
The white robes ceased their swaying
at the arm-chair, where William Brit
ton sat;and a soft white hnnd fell on his
broader palm. Then a low voice said,
sadly :
"Cousin Will, ie not Saratoga uneatis
Eying - ?"
The question corrected some fallacies.
In the first place, it was unorthodox
creed for a fashionable woman. In the
second place, -it revealed to William
Britton the fact that he had never seen
lie'owner
. of the voice.
" I beg your pardon, but—" he
- began.
At the first word, th . , little hand star
ted from the broad palm, and the plain
tive tone was quick with fright.
" I beg your pardon;" she echoed.
"I thought you were my Oousin Will.
"It is my name. I . would I were
cousin to that voice."
The gttllant speech drove the woman
away. She begged another hasty par
don, and William Britton heard the
sound of floating garments as she flitted
up the brpad' stairway.
A. moment, later another white-robed
figure dashed in uporr-the lbnu man's
quiet. ' , •
" Isn't Saratoga charming ?" exclaim
ed a quick, lively voice: "Such= beauti
ful dresser and delightful nietioind-love
ly womett; and such mueic ! And oh
the hops I would be content M re.
• 5
wain here forever.
My willing Soul would stay •;
In such a frame as this
And sing and dance itself away
To eveilastisig bllss."
There was no mistaking that hwhion
able-woman, Therawaa no horsily
_in
that doetnine. It was o,!uelir worldly.
The roioe belonged to Mara Ipswich.

gaslight that dispelled dreams mis-
Series and errors with - .the darkness.
"And oh what an !owl, with ell his
wisdom and: solemnity," she retorted,
laughing but she stooped dowh and
kissed his forehead.
In vain William Britton studied the.
faces in the parlor that night, sneking
in that gay throng somwinerk of discon
tent, some ipirit ill at 'mien, some Bout
unsatisfied with the kind and degree of
happiness Baratoga " . offered. — 'Blle who
brought himsthetw mingled'With the gay;
eclipsed by-none save the tall, slight girl
in' garnet whose beaming face Rai the
brightest thing in. all. the room; Be
wee with the dancers, too, biding studies,
imiath his smiles and great thoughts un
der pleasant chat. -
He was an odd Man. Even Clara Ip
swich admitted that, lover 'though be
was and husband waste he. It seas so
odd she thought to think of other thingo
than dress and dance and show at Bars- 1
toga. '
Under the: careless smile, William
Britton studied the slight girl in garnet:
How her dark eyes llashedi HOW thi
color came and went upon her brlaitefte
cheek! How she talked. And new
laughter rippled from her lips until ke
called her in his mind !din nehabe
laughing water. What . . a spontaneity
of life I Whatan exuberance of glad?
nese I Wee she conscious of- a soul;
Did she think of a hereafter 7 Did she,
know that life was straggle, combat,
victory."
As he looked,le listened and caught
the chat of dowagers at his aide.
"Sopa is looking her beat to=night,'
said one lady to the other:
Yee," was the pleased rejoindir.
"Garnet becomes her well."
"Your niece is doing you honor, cer
.
tainly," Continued the tirst - , speaker.
" Her engagement must b.a"tiety gratift:!
—• • .
"It is. I may tell you Mrs. Jenkins
it has taken-a great load off my mind,"
as the confidential response. " Sayte'
is of like other women dour set. Yon
w uld never dream the thoughts of that
girl. She is one of the kind 'who make
missionaries and martyrs, and marry be
neath their position, and do ridiculous
things from duty. I can't understand
her at all. L think she is something of
a mystery to David Harper. Nobody
can interpreter her thoroughly bat. her
cousin Will Tompkins. You know him,
yon have heard hint lecture. He is very
clever. Many a time .I have quaked for
fear they would marry ;. but she is en-.
gaged to David Harper now, and there
is -an end of trouble, for with her a
promise once given is a promise forever.
He is wealthy and.ef good family, and
bas a fine position in-society, - and it pup)
an end to all her 'Loomis about conge

ever since. Something—happened to ,
vex , her. It was ;:about her dress, 'and
she came up stairs and .111 , vseted 'herself
of her beantifal.malland , arrayed herself
in garnet. Such, Mwhiut I I - think :she
was annoyed to find so many others •
clad in white."
Will Britton smiled. Ah, he under
stood. By his own' nature be under
stood that girl. In ' spite of garnet dress
he recognized the unsatisfied soul; the
longing, aspiring who had - Wearied
