Helen's Story.
IT WAS with a throbbing heart that
Helen Darnell took a little roll of
manuscript In her hand, over which she
had wept and dreamed and smiled with
all the fond enthusiasm of a born genius
and walking up to the " Langham Ho
tel," where Miss Caroline Vane was
staying.
Miss Vane was an authoress thirty
years of age, with high complexion and
snapping black eyes.
"Ah I" said Miss Vane graciously
she was sitting at a table with a hand
some inkstand before her, a pile of books
and papers gracefully scattered around,
and a bouquet of flowers close by " you
are the teacher in the dear little rustic
school house in my last novel. I'll send
you a copy when It's printed, if you
like."
" Oh, thank you," said Helen, color
ing and faltering. " But I have come to
ask a very, very great favor of you Miss
Vane."
Helen's cheeks grew red as she hesi
tatingly produced her roll of manu
script. " It is this," she faltered. " I-would
you I know it must Beem presumptu
ousbut I have written a story, and"
"Oh!" said Miss Vane. "Exactly.
And you Wish me to read It 1"'
" To read it," said Helen Darrel, "and
if possible, to assist me to some probable
channel of publication."
" That's not so easy," said Miss Vane,
frigidly. " However, since you have
brought it here, you may leave It. I
will glance over it when I find time,
and if it seems suitable send it to some
periodical.
Helen Darrel waited and waited, but
no word came from the brilliant author
ess at the hotel. But at length, one
evening, she met her walking In the
quiet Hornsey lanes, with a tall, hand
some gentleman sauntering at her side.
" Mies Vaue," said she breathlessly,
while the color went and came fitfully
In her cheeks. " Pray excuse me for
Interrupting you but did you send that
story V"
" Of course I did," said Caroline Im
patiently. "Didn't I promUe you I
would?"
" Yes I know ; but was it publish
ed?" " Respectfully declined," said Miss
Vane, shrugging her shoulders. "I told
you so."
Poor Helen shrank and paled as Miss
Vane turned away ; nor did she venture
to ask any further questions. She mere
ly turned away and glided into the leafy
umbrage like a vanishing Dryad.
" A pretty face that," said the gentle
man. "Who is she?"
" Oh,a little country protege of mine"
said Caroline with unblushing effront
ery. " Now come on, or we shall be too
late for the little cascade in the woods,
Mr. Morton."
But Mr. Morton somehow seemed to
have lost all his interest iu cascades and
woodland rambles. He declared him
self tired out, melted with heat tor
mented by gnats. Caroline Vane could
not comprehend him at ail.
" Pardon me but cannot I do some
thing to help assuage this grief V"
Helen Darrell started up from the fall
en tree, close to which she had been
crouching, her tear-stained cheeks the
color of scarlet, and her eyes shining
like those of a startled deer, as she rec
ognized the gentleman that she had seen
an hour ago with Miss Vane.
Helen was young and heart-sick; Mr.
Morton was gentle and kindly, and
sympathetic, and in five minutes she
had impulsively confessed all her troub
les. I knew It was a silly story," she fal
tered, " but "
" Are you quite sure of that?" play,
fully demanded Mr. Morton. " Perhaps
I should be a better judge of that than
youyouself. Do you know that I be
long to the fraternity of editors ?"
"You, sir?"
He drew a magazine from his pocket.
" If you do not believe me, Miss Dar
rell, look at this." ,
And he pointed to the name " Edwin
Ellery Morton" on the corner.
" Your friend, Miss Vane, writes for
us," he said. " There is a story of hers
in this month's number a story that
has created quite a sensation in reading
circles. Look!"
" The color vanished from Helen's
cheeks as she read in printed characters
the name of the very story she herself
had dreamed out in wooded solitudes
and along the su neet glen.
"The Pearl of Penrhyn !'." she
gasped. " Oh, Mr. Morton, I wrote
that ! It is the story I gave her the
story she told me was declined I"
He looked intently at her, without
epeaklng.
" Can you prove tills, Miss Darrell ?"
he asked.
" I can show you the original manu
script in my possession at home,"
When Miss Vane saw Mr. Morton
next, he walked quietly up to her.
"That was an awkward mistake of
yours, Miss Vane."
" What mistake?" Caroline asked,
sweetly..
" The confounding Miss Darrell's very
excellent manuscript with your own
productions. You see, I know all. It
was Helen Darrell, not youself, that
wrote ' The Pearl of Penrhyn.' "
And Caroline deep blush spoke the
confession her lips were unwilling to
frame.
Miss Vane was a shallow false-natured
person, but her heart, what little there
was of It, was given to Edwin Morton,
and this sudden blighting of all her
hopes was bitterness Indeed. And she
had to thank that pink-cheeked, dewy,
eyed Helen Darrell for it all.
" I wish I had never seen her, or her
trashy story," she sobbed when left once
more to her own reflections.
" You must write another story, Miss
Darrell," said the editor. Helen wrote
it ; and about three months later, Helen
astonished her grandmother Darrell by
telling her she was to be married to Ed
win Morton.
" And all this conies o' story writin ',"
said the old lady meditatively.
But then all " contributors" are not
beautleB, and all editors are not young,
good looking and unmarried.
COURTING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
SCHNEIDENBACK, who runs the
principal grocery in our village, has
been without a young man for three
weeks, Nicholas Schneider, the pride of
his establishment, has been confined to
his room in consequent of an accident to
that portion of his torso which brave
men men never turn to their foes. It
came about In this way :
Nicholas fell in love with Lavinia, the
bouncing daughter of old 'Squire Lane.
True love, as usual, traveled along a
corduroy road. 'Squire Lane threaten
ed to give an exhibition of his personal
disapproval from the muzzle of a breech
loader, if he ever found the grocer's
man skulking around his premises.
Consequently, It was necessary to pay
surreptitious sacrifice to Cupid. On the
fatal night Lavlula bad admitted her
lover through the drawing-room win.
dow. It was close upon midnight. Old
'Squire Lane was asleep, and the trump
eting of his nasal serenade reached the
lovers as they sat at the open window
breathing the balm of the night.
Lavinia is a charming young lady In
full perfection of her physical well-being.
As he sat beside her at the win
dow the heart of Nicholas Schneider
was stirred to its profoundest depths.
Her pearly teeth were shining in the
darkness. He was conscious from form
er experience that the Hps that fringed
those teeth possessed such fragrant and
dellclouB ripenings as the South wind
bears away from a rose garden. More
than likely he tasted the notforbidden
fruit. He asked Lavinia to sit on his
knee. She liked to sit there. She had
tried the seat before. She sprang upon
his knee with a playful bang, forgetting
in the gush of the moment that her
lover's chair was rheumatic and spavin,
ed in one of its legs. Of course she had
no suspicion that her lover had a box
of parlor matches in his pistol pocket.
There was a crack and a crash as the
one hundred and fifty pounds avordu
pois bore him and the chair to the floor.
She laughed and he giggled. The next
instant there was a sudden hiss right
under Nicholas.
" For the land's sake !" cried Lavinia
u we have squashed the cat ! "
The hissing was followed by a regu
lar Fourth of July fluffing and spit
ting. . .
" Sufferln' man 1" roared Nicholas,
bounding up like a lump of India rub
ber; "I'm afire!"
As he pranced around the room, he
left on the floor a train of burning lucl
fer matches and ignited fragments of
cloth from the rear of his pantaloons. .
"Fire! lire I', screamed Lavinia.
" My darling holy Jerusalem 1 You
will wake the old man !'' gasped Nicho
las, as he rubbed his rear with the table
cover. The warning came too late. The old
'Squire's foot was heard descending the
etuirs. As he reached the door he be.
held the skirts of the lover's burning
garment leaving the window. He
grasped his gun. The trail of fire was
dancing across the field like a will-o'-the-wisp.
He took a rapid, and, alas !
an accurate aim. A wild and fearful
yell pierced the midnight silence. The
last spark of fire was extinguished. The
young grocer went home with a convio
tlon that his hips resembled an over
grlddled steak. His landlady wrapped
htm in a sheet saturated with oil, and
then dusted him over with molasses and
flour.
He says he will never visit Lavinia
again, for during his three weeks of suf
fering bis views on matrimony have un
dergone a change. No woman, he be
lieves, is worth the double sacrifice of
being burnt first and then thot on the
raw afterwards. . As for poor .Lavinia,
she is said to be " pining away like a
poisoned bed-bug." .
The envious man is tormented not
only by all the ills that befall himself
but by all the good that happens to an
other. He is made gloomy not only by
his own cloud, but by another's sun.
shine.
SUNDAY HEADING,
SPLICING THE LADDER.
One night the large and splendid Sail
ors' Home In Liverpool, was 011 fire,
and a vast multitude of people gathered
to witness the conflagration. The fury
of the flames could not be checked. It
was supposed thatall the Inmate had left
the burning building. Presently, how
ever, two poor fellows were seen stretch
ing their arms from an upper window,
and were shouting for help. What
could be done to save them.
A stout marine from a man-of-war ly
ing in the river said, " give me a long
ladder and I will try it."
He mounted the ladder. It was too
short td reach the window. " Pass me
up a short ladder I" he shouted.
It was done. Even that did not reach
to the arms stretched frantically out of
the window. The brave marine was
not to be balked. He lifted the short
ladder upon his own shoulders.and hold
ing on by a casement, he brought the
upper rounds within reach of the two
men, who were already scorched by the
flames.
Out of the window they clambered,
and creeping down over the short ladder
and then over the sturdy marine they
reached the pavement amid the loud
hurrahs of the mulitude.
It was a noble deed, and teaches a no
ble lesson. It teaches us that when we
want to do good service to others we
must add our own length to the length
of the ladder.
Harry Norton saw that his fellow
clerk, Warren Proctor, was becoming a
hard smoker and hard drinker, although
he was only sixteen years old. When
he urged him to stop smoking and drink
ing Warren replied :
" Why you at times take a cigar and a
glass of wine yourself."
" If you will sign a pledge never to
smoke a cigar or touch a drop of liquor
I will do the same."
The bargain was made, and Harry
saved his friend by adding the length of
his own example to the length of the
ladder. '
A widow lady near me was Buffering
from sickness and poverty. Her daugh
ter, a delicate refined girl, said to her
self, " My mother must be taken Care
of ; I'll advertise for a place as a servant
girl." r l
She did bo. A rich man saw the ad
vertisement, and determining that the
young girl should not undertake that,
he procured her a situation as secretary
in an institution, where she gets six
hundred a year. An unselfish daughter
thus brought relief to a suffering moth,
er. She spliced the ladder with her own
self-denying exertions. ; 1
It is a noble thing to be unBelllsh, and
give up gratifications for the sake of
other people. When the great Chris
tian sage of old said, " It is right not to
drink wine by which my brother stum
bles," he added the length of his own
influence to the ladder for saving others
from drunkenness,
I could tell of two Christian lads, well
educated and refined, who go every Sun
day to mission school, in a dirty degrad
ed street, that they may encourage some
poor ragged boys to go there too. These
two boys have the spirit of Jesus Christ.
They are not selfish ; and they mean
that the poor, ignorant lads shall climb
up in the world over them. '
That is the way to imitate the divine
Master, who gave himself that men
might climb out of the folly and degra
dation of Bin into heaven itself.
A Boy's Manly Answer. -
A lad in Boston, rather small for his
years, works in an office as an errand
boy for four gentlemen who do business
there. One day the gentlemen were
chaffing him about being bo small, and
said to him : . .
"You never will amount to much; you
never can do much business, you are too
small."
The little fellow looked at them :
" Well," said he, " as small as I am, I
can do something which none of you
four men can do."
" Ah, what's that ?" said they.
" I don't know as I ought to tell you"
he replied.
But they were anxious to know, and
urged him to tell what he could do that
none of them were able to do.
" I can keep from swearing I" said the
little fellow. ; ' . 1
There were some blushes on four man
ly faces, and there seemed to be very
little anxiety for further information oth
the point.. :
0"Death is not the cruel monster that
we deem him. , He is one of God'
brightest angels, sent from heaven to
bring home some loved one of earth.
So bright are his robes that their glare
would blind us were they not covered
with a sablo mantle.
62" Vice Is very prolific. Vice hate
to be alone, and must have company.
He who tells one lie is sure to tell anoth
er to cover up the first, aud a third ti
caver up the other two. After that he
becomes accustomed to it, und stops
counting.
