Slwly EATING IIUMBLE PIE. "0' NLY think of it! A clerk I A stiles-woman !" " Itgeems to me I'd have worked my lingers to the bone In some other way before I would have come to that," said Lizzie Doyle, going to the mirror and re-adjusting a twenty dollar hat. "So would I. But then, what could she do!" At least she might have made her Belf a little less public. If there's any thing I despise, U'b these saleswomen 1" " So do I. How much better It would have been to have gone into dress-making, or millinery, or something of that sort. But to stand behind the counter like a maul" " Papa always did like those Stanleys," said Lizzie Doyle, petulantly. " Yes, we all liked then well enough until Mr. Stanley failed, didn't we V" " No, not I, for one. Laura was al ways too Independent In her notions. Don't you remember how hard shestud led at school f It does seem, as if she foresaw her father's failure." "I wonder she didn't try for some better position, then. She is surely ca pable of being something better than a shop-girl." "Oh, I believe papa intends to pro mote her when Mr. Jobley goes west. She will then take Mr. Jobley's place as junior book-keeper. Think of that for a woman 1" " That would be better than selling goods. I don't see how she can do that, with her refined tastes. Why rirn't she give lessons, I wonder t It might not bring her in quite so much money, but it would b6 a deal nicer." "Yes; and then we could recognize her," said Lizzie Doyle. " That's what I was coming to," was the quick reply of her companion, a small, sallow-faced girl,elaborately trim med and flounced. " How are we to treat her now ? We have been great friends you know that is when she was in our set," she added, seeing Lizzie's brow darken. " I'll tell you how I shall treat her," responded Lizzie, slowly drawing on a pair of perfumed, three-button kid gloves ; " precisely as I treat all of papa'B clerks. And I should like to see any of them presume!" "Oh, but Laura won't presume! You needn't be afraid of that; she's too proud." " She must be," said Lizzie sneering ly, " to take that position ! I shall not notice her." " But how can you help it when you go to the store or to church Y She sits so near to us, you know." " Of course she'll give up that pew. She can't afford that." " That's precisely what she does not mean to do. I heard her say that the family must economize somewhere else and keep the pew. Her mother is hard of hearing, and could not enjoy the ser vices further bock. . The children, too, must go to church. That is the last thing, she said, one ought to give up. I heard her say this to your father last Sunday." " How provoking !" said Lizzie, im patiently. " She will always be in our faees. But I shall have nothing to do with her. I know what it's for, the art ful minx! it's to keep near us. She knows she has got into papa's good graces ; and Al, too, admires her. I don't see what there is though, to ad mire. She's very plain." " Laura is no beauty," was the reply ; "but I don't think she's so very plain. She certainly has lowered herself,tbough by going into a store." And thereupon the two girls went out for their walk. It was near twilight of that same day, when Laura Stanley walked briskly home and' entered the neat two-story house to which her mother had lately removed snch of her household effects as had been spared by the auctioneer. "This is really pleasant," she said, sinking Into a chair that had been drawn near to the glowing grate. "I had no idea, mother, that you would so soon make the house so homelike and com fortable." "Are you very tired, my dear ?" asked her mother, a pretty, refined-looking woman, as she helped her daughter to take off her cloak and hat. " Rather, but I like the business ; and it's a fine place for the study of charac ter," rhe added, with a curl of the lip, which her mother noticed. "I wish yewi had chosen something elso, my dear. ' I was sure your feelings would be hurt"-. 1 " I don't wish so," said Laura briskly, ' There Is nothing else would brought a salary at once, and as for my feelings, It don't hurt me a bit to find out - the hollowness of society. I used to won der what a certain person would be to me if I were not the rich Harvey Stan ley's daughter, and now I know It's a knowledge worth gaining.' - ') " Do you meet many persons you are acquainted with V" Asked her mother, busying herself In setting the tea. " -' " Ok yes ; and it's amusing when they come upon me suddenly. ' O ! It's really! Is this Miss Stanley V and sometimes up go the eyeglasseB. Then I feel well, as If I should like to freeze somebody, if I could for a minute. Oth ers see me and make believe they are examining goods ; so absorbed are they that they go clear by me without look ing up, and pass out in the same way. But such slights don't bother me. I rind out how much true friendship Is worth, and who, out of all the seeming ladles I have been In tbe habit of meeting, are true, and who are false." " Then you meet some who are true?" "Yres, indeed; Judge Agnte's wife, who always seemed to tne so proud and distant, came up to me with a glowing face and fairly congratulated me. She did it like a lady, too, and like a friend. There was nothing patronizing about her. And there were several others to whom I know my position makes no difference. They prize me for what I am. Y'et what a price to pay for learn ing the value of true friendship," added Lnuru, with a deep sigh. " I met Aggie Doyle to-day, and she wouldn't speak to me," said Alice, Laura's sister, who had como into the room and overheard the last remark. " Why shouldn't she speak tome, 1 wonder." " Because your sister is a clerk in her father's store," said Laura, somewhat bitterly. "That's no reason why she Bhould treat me so," the child replied. "Of course it Is not; nor is It any reason why Lizzie, her elder Bister, should utterly ignore me. I always lik ed her so much, too. But to-day she came into the store and passed me with Buch a sweeping glance, after I had pre pared a smile and a welcome for 'her. Mr. Doyle has been so kind since papa's death that I looked for better treatment from Lizzie. That, I 'confess, has wounded me ; and I shall have to meet her so often ! But never mind, I must remember my place," she added, rather bitterly. " I have to work for my living now but I will be proud of it 1 Ooodby, old life of lazy ease! Oood-by, old worthless young lady of fashion who feels It, and she is slow ly departing this life." So saying, she sat down gaily to the tea-table, and soon forgot all about the toll and the slights of the day. " Have you filled out all your Invita tions V" asked Lizzie's eldest brother, one of the firm of Doyle & Co., some days after the preceding conversation took place. Lizzie was arranging a hundred or more tiny cream-colored envelopes, which she tied together with some pret ty, brlght-hued ribbon. " I believe so," she replied, with a smile. " I have asked every young lady acquaintance, and I think our party will be the finest of the season, if papa will only have the carpet , taken up in the west rooms and the floor chalked.. Itut ger will do them for fifty dollars, and you have no idea how beautifully he works." , "I think father will not refuse you that," her brother replied. " I'll speak to him about it." . " Oh, thank you, Al. Then I'm sure he will have it done. I have asked him for so many things that I was almost afraid to ask for more." , , , " By-the-by, have you invited Miss Laura Stanley V" her brother asked, as he was going out. "Of course not!" said Lizzie, with assured emphasis. . . i ...... , "Of course not V And pray.why uot?" be asked, standing still. . . , v - " Why, Ah what an Idea I she would not expect it. Our shop-girl father's clerk! I wouldn't have her for the world!" ' "Then, if you are sure she wouldn't come, you might have sent her an Invl tation out of compliment," her brother replied. " ' "I don't consider her an acquaint ance," said Lizzie, loftily ; and Al walk ed out of the room with an abrupt shrug of the shoulders; Presently her father came in. ' "Lizzie," he said, "I particularly wish you po send a note of invitation ,to Miss Laura Stanley. V , , ("Papa, you don't mean it!" exclaim ed Lizzie, chagrined, ,, ,. , . 'f Indeed, I do mean it. , What! slight the daughter of oneof my most cherish ed friends, because she has come down iiv the world in a money point of view ? I should despise myself for it. ' "But, papa, shewon't come," said Lizzie. ,,;,. ., ,--.r , t - ,j"Jfever mind whether, she will come pr.poU ,Wfiltfl, .an,; invitation.. I will take U to her,',' ,,,.,., ,. ,t .;, . Lizzie sat down, , pale, aud, angry, to , write, the note, ..After, all her, boasting of, having ,"cut, the Stanleys,",, it was very hard to. be obliged to Invite Laura. Her cheeks grew hot, as she indited the polite little missive, while she remem bered the 'many times she had openly ignored her to 'Whom 'it was addressed. : She would have disobeyed had she dared 'would even ( have withheld the note after it was written, had her father not stood by to take It himself. It was In deed humiliating. Later, her brother Al came to her. "I should like an Invitation, Lizzie, fora young lady of my acquaintance," he said, In a quiet voice. " Who Is she V" " The young lady whom I have asked to be my wife," lie said, smiling. " Oh, Al, of course you shall have it ! I am to have a sister, , then ? I'm so glad I What is her name? Is she In the city If Will she be sure to come ? I'm sure I can't think of anybody." And then she pnuscd, puzzled at his shrewd smile. " Do I know her V" shcasked. " Y'ou used to," he answered. " It's Miss Laura Stanley !" "Oh, All" She sank down, covered her face with her hands. " I wus afraid she might feel the slight so keenly," be Bald, softly, "that I hur ried matters u little. So you need not be afraid now that she will not come. Will you not prepare an invitation V" " I have. Papa has carried it to her. But, oh, Al, a clerk!" "A noble woman," said her brother, " who dares face the sneers of 'her set' and take an honest position for the sake of those who are dependent upon her, rather than whine about her former dig nity, and live upon charity. I wish there were more like her." So Lizzie was forced, for once in her life, to eat humble pie. -. .. The Lake Without Bottom. PYRAMID LAKK is nearly forty miles In length by from fifteen to twenty In width. It is but 4,000 feet above the sea level. The lake contains many islands, several of which, near the middle of the lake, raise to the height of some hundreds of feet, and are pyramidal in form and light gray color. One tall spire, seen far down to the northward, where the lake seems shore less, is perfectly white. A large island probably the largest in the lake, contains five or six square miles of comparative ly level ground, and 1b covered with veg etation. Upon this island a number of goals were turned loose some years since and they have increased at a wonderful rate, so that they may now be seen feed ing on every hill. They need no care winter or summer, aud are about as wild as the goats fouud by Ilobiuson CruBoe on the Island of Juan Fernandez. The lake is of immense depth. It is said that near the centre 000 fathoms of line failed to find bottom. The waters of the lake are brackish, except immediately about the point where the waters of the Truckee Klver flow into it. Owingtothebrackishnessof its waters to its great depth, or to both depth and bracklshness, the lake never freezes. Although the lake is generally very rough, owing to its being exposed to the sweeping westerly winds, the Piute In dians fearlessly navigate it in all direc tions and almost at all times on their tule rafts. These rafts are often nothing more tlmti a single bundle of tule, but when the raft is intended to accommo date more than one person two or three bundles are lashed together aud drawn into the shape of a clumsy boat. Near shore they generally pole these crafts about, but they . frequently hoist a sail made of a blanket and fearlessly steer away so far out upon the lake that only their sail remains visible. These tule boats very closely resemble the catama rans used by the natives of some of the islands of the South Pacific. They are so buoyant it is impossible to sink them. Far out' in the lake among the islands they- set long lines, strung full of hooks. These they visit on their rafts, and sometimes bring in not less than three hundred pounds at one trip. The trout are sold at tea cents a pound at the lake therefore It will be readily seen that fishing is a profitable business. ' At tbe north , or lower end of the lake, are a dozen or more islands of rock of peculiar and picturesque form. These are of solid rock, and are from three to four hundred feet iri height. At a dis tance they look like' monstrous mush rooms or eggs standing on stems-such eggs as might have been ' produced by the roc, that bird of ancient times one wing of 'which," according to Ibh-Rl-Wardee, was ten thousand fathoms lone" ; -i ,. .'i.n.i.ii ... ..i It Is impossible-to climb these rocks, as, while their steins form perpendicu lar walls, It Is beyond the power of man to ascend th6se parts where they begin to swell out Into domesi"J Mr. Stiles says he has sounded the' ' lake at the base of these fantastic' islands, and, with the longest line at his command was unublo to find the bottom. I v i - - i .' One of the largest of these Islands, the tall White one seen from toward the head of the lake, is not wholly perpen dicular ort all sides. On one of Its sides there is a steep slope which it is thought might be scaled In someway.' A story is current ad the lake that ' John O. Fre mont, the great "path finder," iTound a path to the top of this 'rock. It Is be lieved that he left Ms Meld glass and some other Instrument of value on the summit of the rock, and many attempt have been made to climb It In order to secure these articles. The last attempt to scale the pyramid was by a sailor, who used a long rope, throwing It upward until It caught upon a projecting point of rock, then drawing himself up and again throwing his rope to a rock above, lie reached a height of about li() feet, when he was unable to find any more projections over which to throw his rope and came near never reaching ground alive. He was obliged to descetid hi the same way as he had effected the ascent, and when he finally got down he was cut aud scratched from head to foot. The fishermen have now concluded that the only way in which the field glusses and other plunder can be secured is by attaching aline to it rock and then firing it over the top of the pyramid from a mortar. Oneof these small rocky Inlands of t In take is alivo with rattlesnakes. It it supposed thut the first were wafted to the island on a raft of tides or driftwood. Doc Wood, who has visited the island says "there's millions lu it." The rep tiles have their home among the rocks, and live on the eggs and young of water fowl, and upon the dead fish that are cast ashore on the Island. Mr. Wood savs that the stories that have been told of the snakes rushing in a body, hissing and rattling to attack any man landing on the Island, are untrue. He found that whenever they were disturbed they ran away and concealed themselves in the crevices of the rocks, Just as would have been done by any other snukes. Character. Character Is so much more than wealth or knowledge, fame or power, that it is the measure of the man. When a man Is placed in a prominent position of any sort whatever, we say at once, "What is he worth 1"' not " What does he know?" but " What sort of a man is he 5"' That is the momentous question that involves all. All others are secondary. Wealth, knowledge, fame and power, are most desirable accessions for a good man ; but otherwise they add Btrength In a wrong direction. I wonder if the young men and boys in our land lealize that charac ter is the most Important capital in any and all business transactions. If a man of large business is looking for a partner or employee, what does he require first and moBt of all ? An honettman or boy. Wealth and position,'iwlth his first requisite, will be no detraction, but nothing without it. What pillars 'are to a building, what the foundation is, and the corner-stone thereof, so is a good character to a man or woman, boy or girl. The wise man said, " A good name is rather to be chos en than riches," and he had no lack of wealth. ' Itemember, boys and it will harm none to remember that what yorf have 1b finite in Its value; its endjs th grave; while the former will grow and enrich its possessor through all the ages of immortality. ' Strive for it as for your life, for life is naught without it ; if a man die for his honor he is an everlast ing hero ; while if he dies for his wealth he is a sordid fool. We honor it In death, if not in life. " So teach us to number Our days, as to apply our hearts unto wisdom." The Right Kind of Success. It may be questioned whether there Is any one of tbe principles or passions of our nature more deeply rooted than the love of fame ; the desire to occupy a place in the tablet of human remem brance. Through life it seems unsubdu ed, and even in death the ruling passion, is in the ascendency. There is scarcely a man on the globe Insensible to the awakening stimulus of distinction. Hu man nature has an abhorrence instinct ive and powerful, of tbe idea of being forgotten. This is so strange that any notoriety, however disgraceful, is oft times preferred to unobtrusive atx there fore, oblivious merit. Even among tbe criminals of tbe present day, men ar found who glory with an inhuman sat isfaction in anticipating the moment of appearing before a crowded court-room, or being referred to in the news-papers, .. , i ..- - ,. What it Costs. , Those who commit crime seldom look at more than one side of the balance sheet. '''Satan always shows tbe gilded side of sin, and that side only, when he tempts men; and when they are drawn away by their own lusts, they take into account only ' the profit they bope to derlVe1' from an evil " course. How otherwise could so many Intelli gent men cover themselves with dis grace and plunge their families into a sea of wretobednees for the doubtful en joyment of Ill-gotten gains. ' We wish every young man, and-every old man n well, could examine the balance-sheet. ' .t - it .. I . ..... v.: :t . .1.
