D.WELLB, Hem Buffalo Perry co.,Pa A LITTLE ROMANCE. DOIU8 stood on the balcony of the Ocean house, her hlaek eyes (Hinted, her tiny hands clasped In mute eestacy, her red Hps parted,her whole attitude ex pressing her rapture, admiration and awe. She had never seen the sea before. Last night Miss Berangyr and her party had arrived, during a heavy rain storm, and the darkness had been so intense that even Doris' enger eyes had not been able to cateh a glimpse of the roaring, restless waves,to whose rhythm thunder the girl had dropped to sleep, after her duties were over. Bhe wag a little pretty dainty creature, full of romance and idealism, and yet she was only a lady's maid Maud Be rangyr's maid. And not from necessity, either ; but because Doris would rather see life, and have her girlish romance as Miss Be rangyr's maid, than to live her dull, eventless life, at the little cottage in the antiquated country village where Ming Berangyr thad picked her up a life whose chlefest events were the annual apple-butter making or a decorous husk ing frolic In Judge Tampler's big barn. A life full of pure, Innocent sweetness and wholesomeness, but which fretted aud chafed on Doris Warren's nervous nature, until even John Tampler under stood it would be better for Doris to have her own way, and go out into the beauti ful world that to the girl seemed like some fairy garden on whose threshold her feet were lingering better for Doris to go, even as Miss Berangyr's maid, than to stay quietly aud dully at the country home, with the light dally dim ming in her eyes and the footsteps hour ly losing their elastic tread. Bo, not againBtMr. Tampler's counsel, but actually with his advice, Doris had accepted the position which Miss Beran gyr offered, and, in almost an ecstacy of delight, had bidden Auntie Helen and Uncle Robert good-by, and John Tam pler, who had loved butterfly Doris ever since he could remember her at all, and whom butterfly Doris had teased, scolded, fascinated and snubbed ever since she could remember, and cared about him as though he had been her big brother. He was thoroughly good one of those rare, sweet-natured men, who know so exactly how a woman ought to be used, and trusted her accordingly. He was grave, quiet, educated and a thorough gentleman In manner, breedlog and by birth. He was the only son of a well-to-do gray-headed old gentleman farmer,whom people had dubbed "Judge" for reasons doubtless difficult to explain. But because he was not dashing and dandyish, and as handsome as an impos sible hero in a three-volume novel, this silly butterfly Doris of mine, who was so determined she was born to have a romance, would have none of his atten tions or love. It had been a curious parting Mr. Tampler so grave and earnest ; Doris so sunny and eager to be off, aud laughing ly profuse in her promises to write. "Oh yes, every mail, if he was so anxious; ten postal cards at one time if he pre ferred quantity to quality. All that, had transpired some weeks before this morning, when Doris stood on the balcony of the Ocean House, tak lug her first fill of the sublimity of God's grandest creation. Only six little weeks spent at Saratoga, and Doris' thoughts of the sea were sweet ly, passionately mingled with thoughts of Barry Felham. Six weeks ago she had not known there existed such a per son ; to-day, the thought of him made her eyes glow,her cheeks flush, her heart beat in sweet.undisciplined agitation. He was the very handsomest man Doris Warren had ever laid her pretty black eyes upon. He was Just of that dashing, stylish carriage that attracted the girl's fancy. He had been from the very first at tracted by Doris. They had passed each other on the drive, Mr. Pel h am in a barouche, lying back as leisurely and gracefully as it was possible for any one of the male gender to do, and pretty, blooming Doris, in Miss Berangyr's car riage ; for be it understood, Miss Beran gyr, was a model mistress, who not only thoroughly understood the "why and wherefor" of her deft-handed maiden's service with her, but also appreciated and enjoyed it with Doris. And very often, when Miss Berangyr haI done with her horses she told Doris she was welcome to a ride, and so they two had met. And a few days later there came the daintiest imagianble note to Miss Doris Warren, in the mo3t elegant of chiro graphics, and signed "Barry Pelham," and soliciting the pleasure of Doris' ac quaintance, deploring the necessity of his being obliged to resort to such a method, inclosing a list of prominent men for reference, and generally caus ing Doris the most genuine sensation, that was rapidly followed by delight and pride, and that resulted in a quiet little answer, In which honest Doris told Mr. Pelham of her social position, and Well, before very long an Interview was arranged, and the halcyon days be gan for this little girl whose romance was of a verity come to her. Mr. Tel ham was a model I had al most written lover, but that Is almost too strong word, a becnuse.although there hacUeusued a charming, suggestive In timacy, there had been 110 actual love passages. Butterfly though my Doris was, she was true as gold to her woman hood, and Mr. Pelham was too compara tively a Btranger to be accorded the prlvellge of knowing how dear he had become to the girl into whoso black eyes lie had looked so meaningly. Well, they had parted at Saratoga,lu a coy, shy way, on Doris' part aud per mission was given for him to see her at Long Branch, this would-be lover who silenced Doris, when she insisted upon knowing If he understood perfectly that she was only Miss Berangyr's maid. And Ave minutes before, on this glori ous, breezy summer morning, Doris had heard his voice below on the avenue,and knew he was come. And an hour or so later, John Tampler's card was Bent up to Miss Berangyr's room for Miss Doris Warren, and she went down to see him with a glad light in her eyes that, at the first Bhowing, he thought was for joy to see him. m "My little Durla, you are so Improved, so exquisitely lovely, and happy dearl And glad to Bee me, dear '("' To have saved him he could not have kept the thrill of eager passion from his voice. "Am I improved, John V Well, It's a doubtful compliment, because you ought to have considered me perfection before. Happy I Oh, indeed lam. You can tell them at home I never was so happy in my life never I" "But you have not answered me yet, Doris, dear. Are you glad to see me?" She flashed him a frank, friendly look, and its very childish candor smote him cruelly. "Indeed, I'm glad. Tell me all about everything aud everybody I" Of a sudden a white flame leaped to his eyes. John Tampler worshipped this girl so madly that even his long control availed him nothing now. "I came to tell you of myself. I have but one thing to say. Oh, Doris, go home with me; I cannot live without you any longer." t For one moment she was touched, humbled by the pain in his face, his low, intense tone, then she laughed at him. "The idea I Go homer" Indeed, no, John," and the sweet face suddenly, flushed, then paled, and her voice lower ed. "John, I want to tell you something oh, bo sweet, John I I I have a lov er 1" A lover a lover and not he I It was no wonder his pulse almost Btopped,and his face blanched to his very lips, or that Doris cried out in fear and horror at the Bight of him in his anguish. "Don't speak to me again," he said huskily. And then, after a moment or or so, he he managed to make some sort of adieu, aud left her. She could not but feel a girlish regret for his misery, but that was forgotten a little later, when there came a note from Barry Pelham such a precious little note asking her if she could manage to accompany him to the hop that night, that he wanted to see her, eto. Doris was a vision of loveliness, In her white dress, that evening, as she stood before her little glass, her bright eyes shining, her cheeks flushed like a red rose, her lovely bare arms like pol ished Ivory. "But so plain in my toilet," she mur mured, as she tried to fasten a yellow rose in her hair. "Of course Mr. Pel ham will declare I'm dressed just as I ought to be ; but, oh 1 wouldn't I just love once to wear ornaments of some kind diamonds or pearls. And Miss Berangyr's are in her casket, and if she were here I know she'd lend them to me, just for one little hour." The thought was enough, and with hot cheeks aud compressed Hps, and trembling hands this naughty Doris, who wanted to look so fair in her lover's eyes, borrowed Miss Beranger's magnifi cent pearls, and certainly looked like a queen of fairies in them ; and was con gratulated over and over by her lover, and looked at admiringly by scores of people in the Bhort hour she remained in the ballroom until almost in alarm, she discovered she was outstaying her time, and Miss Berangyr, who was to return by 11 at thelatest,from the moon light sail, would reach home first. "PUase let us hurry," she said plead ingly! to Mr. Pelham. And Mr. Pelbam gave a most emphat io direction to the driver of the hired carriage a direction of which Doris only heard a word or so "to make haste." And then handsome Barry Pelham got Into the carriage with her, and very cooly told her to take off the pearls aud give them to him, "You are surprised I don't doubt; but the less fuss you make and the quieter you obey the better t It's a deuced shame you didn't borrow the diamonds; but the pearls will do better than nothing, and I am about tired ploying the devoted with no better look ahead. Off with 'em my pretty Doris. No screaming now, by Jove " But, after the first agony of fear, hor ror and amazement that paralyzed her, Doris screamed not very loudly for Pelham's hand was crushed closely over her mouth. "None of that, I tell you I There's no use, either, for the hackmau has been weU paid to be deaf aud dumb, and it'll be worse for" He never finished the sentence, for the carriage had come to a sudden stop, and in less than a second a well-directed blow leveled Pelham out of his seat and to the ground, where he lay stunned, and John Tampire's quiet, surpressed tones astonished her. "He won't trouble you again, Doris. Sit Btlll, while I drive you back to your hotel." "But, John, what how who " Doris began, hysterically ; but Mr. Tam pler gravely interrupted her : "Walt till you are safely home." And Doris was safely home a good half hour before Miss Berangyr, and was sitting on the upper balcony with Mr. Tamplre who had answered all her questions and had soothed and comfort ed her as If she had been a baby. "I saw you together, and I didn't like the looks of him," he said quietly. "I knew there was some mischief up, and I spotted him, and heard his bargain with the driver of the hack, and, while the fellow was lingering over a specially good glass of tipple I ordered for him, I took his place and played Jehu. That's all, Doris. The pearls are safe, and you are safe." "But it is not all," she said, her eyes flashing through the passionate tears that were falling thick and fast ; "it is not all, John Tampler. You have shown me what a foolish silly creature I am, and how wholly unworthy to be even your friend, as of old. I am so so ashamed 1" She sobbed like a child and covered her face with her hands. His face wag full of grand,grave eager ness as he looked at her. "Yes, Doris, you are right. We can be friends no longer; we" She gave a little, pitiful cry. "Oh, I know I know I am not fit to be anybody's friend 1 Oh, I wish I was dead!" Then he stepped up to her and lifted her chin, making her eyes meet his. "We cannot be friends, but we can be lovers, my darling we can be husband and wife, can't we V Shall we, my lit tle girl t May I take you home with me, Doris, never to go from me again V And, although Doris could not con sent to Buch impetuous terms, neverthe less she was so disenchanted and grate ful that, before another summertime came round, she was John Tampler's bride ; and Miss Berangyr, to whom Doris had penitently confessed every thing, presented her with the Identical set of pearls that had figured bo promi nently in her little romance. UNCLE SAM'S CLOCK. A WASHINGTON correspondent of some Boston paper sends the follow ing interesting communication : At the Naval Observatory in Wash ington stands the clock that regulates time for the whole country. It is not beautiful like many lovely French clocks that noiselessly tick upon the parlor mantel. In fact It is large and tall, with plain face, and body of dark wood, and without ornamentation. It is much like the old-fashioned clock that stood In our grandmother's kitchen. It nowhere touches either the floor or walls of the building, but is securely fastened to a stone pier, which rests upon a solid stone foundation, so that It may not be affected by any motion of the building or ground. Bains may descend, and floods come, winds blow and beat upon that house, but the clock feels it not, for it is built upon a rock. It is a splendid timekeeper. At the present time it gains at the rate of forty-eight hun dredths of a second per day. In order that the people all over the country may have uniform, time, so im portant for railroads, steamboats and other public conveyances, at three min utes before twelve each day this clock is connected, by means of a galvanio bat tery, with the wires of the Western Uuion Telegraph, wich extends into the room containing the clock. All other messages, however important must give way for these three minutes, and in every large town and station, from Maine to California, where there Is a telegraph operator; as the pendulum of the clock ticks, each second a cliok Is recorded by the telegraph, and at the Instant of twelve two ticks are given. At the same Instant a huge black ball, which la drawn up a few moments be fore, descends upon the dome of the ob servatory ; aud hundreds all over the city stand, with watch iu baud, to see it drop, to keep, as we any, "ball time." Thus when this ball drops, a clink lr every large town In the laud tell the hour of twelve. So while the clerks of Washington are watching the hall.lhe restless ichool boy of Minnesota Is waiting to hear the big clock upon the town-liouse sound its merry peal, the signal of dismissal, and the tired factory girl at Lowell list ens eagerly for the same sound. But you must remember that ouly places on the same meridian with Wash ington have aKer all, exactly the tame time. The sun Is passing round the earth, which Is divided in three hundred and sixty degrees of longitude, every twenty-four hours must pass through one degree which is about sixty-nine miles every four minutes. So if the sun rises in Boston at Beven o'clock, it will not rise In New York two hundred miles west till twelve minutes past seven, or seven o'clock will not come to them for twelve minutes after it has reached Boston. Neither will it be twelve o'clock till twelve minutes later than In Boston. Take the Paclflo railroad and travel west, with your watch correct in Boston ; when you reach Omaha you will be an hour and a-half ahead of their time ; and when you arrive at San Francisco your watch will be three hours and ah air fast, because old Sol is still on the way. When you In Boston are going to church at eleven o'clock the boys in San Fran cisco arejust taking their breakfast at half-past seven. So while we tell you that all the towns receive the click of twelve at the same time, you must remember that in places situated in longitude east or west from Washington, the number of minutes it takes the sun to pass those degrees must be added or subtracted from twelve, to give the correct time. Another thing in the room where the clock is would Interest the boys who are delighted with everything that pertains to a ship. This room may be termed a government depot, for here are two hundred ship chronometers. These are simply large sized watches, and are furnished to every sea-going vessel. Here they are kept several months, to be regulated, and their accuracy tested by this clock. The officer In charge ex amines them dally at a certain hour, and carefully rates the time of each. When a government vessel is ordered1 to sea this oflicial takes them with all possible care to the vessel, protecting them as far as possible from all sudden jars or violent jolting. When on the cruise, the captain also rates daily the time kept by the chro nometer. This he does by lunar obser vation. He marks the time between the moon and some star by his quadrant, which he verifies by his nautical alma nac. One was seen at the observatory that had been absent three years with an eastern squadron, and varied during the whole time but a very few seconds.. THE INN. In reading a book which Interested u a greatly during our three months' sojourn at the Hotel de la Palx, at Mentone, we we stumbled ou the following passage : "In the anecdote books of our boyhood used to be told the story of an Indian. Faquir, who entered an Eastern palace, and spread his bed in one of its ante chambers, pretending that he had mis taken the building for a caravanserai, or Inn. The prince, amused by the odity of the circumstance, ordered, so ran the tale, the man to be brought before him, and asked how he came to make such a mistake. "What is an Inn V" the Faquir asked "A place," was the reply, "where travelers rest a little while before pro ceeding on their journey." "Who dwelt here before you V" again asked the Faquir. "My father," said the prince. "And did he remain here ?" "No," was the answer. "He died and went away." "And who dwelt here before him V'm "His ancestors." "And did they remain here V" "No, they also died and went away." "Then," rejoined the Faquir, "I have made no mistake, for your palace is but an inn, after all." The Faquir was right. Our houses are but Inns, and the whole world a car avanserai. Under what sigh, are we living r We like our own sign of "peace." De la Pais has a soft sound to our ear. Others prefer to have their hotels called the "Splendid," or the "Royal," or the "Imperial;" let us dwell In "Peace," and we shall be con tent. It was said of old, concerning our Lord and Master, that "there was. no room for him In the inn If it be so in any house, peace will be courted in vain ; but make room for Jesus, and all will be well, for "he la our peace." C-5"Ve are haunted by an ideal t.Y aud It la because we have within us th beginning and the possibility of IU A
