Mr. Trumbull said: "But you do not ask
after Tom Middleton, and yet you might, for
he cares more for you than all the rest Of

"Oh, that's nonsense! But how is he p
''He will tell you himself"
''Tom here 2" exclaimed Sally, her face
lighting up with delight.
eyes, indeed, we came on together
"And why hasn't he come to speak to
me p and the pretty face clouded again.
''He says he did not dare before all these
people, but if you will 60 to your parlor
will send him there"
Sally started up at once, and Mr.. Trum-
bull looked after her with smile. He had
been hoping for this match for long time,
and now, as he went out to find Tom, he
whispered to him
"Speak to her tonight, man. I am sure
she loves you
Tom scarcely knew whether he was on his
head or his heels as he made his way to the
private parlor. He never could remember
afterwards exactly what happened when he
reached it. He only knew that Sally came
to meet him with bright, blushing face,
and the next thing he was certain Of she
was clasped in his arms
At a tolerably early hour the next morn
ing a note was handed to Sally. 1t was
from Mr.. Murray, renewing his offer and
begging for speedy interview.
"Ask the gentleman to come up" Sally
said to the servant, and Tom, who was with
her, went out without one particle of jealous
objection.
The young man came up and would have
seized Sally's hand, but she drew it back
haughtily. ''Stop moment, Mr. Murray,
I should like to ask you question"
He paused, abashed by her resolute face.
"What is it, Miss Beauclere %
"Do you know how much money am
worth p
He hesitated and stammered. At last he
said: "Yo our friend, Mr.. Trumbull, did
mention to me that you had some fortune,
but | assure you, dearest Sally, that it is for
yourself alone l."
Sally checked him with an imperious ges-
ture, Il have not penny in the world. /"
He stood STILL looking at her with pale.
astonished face.

Il am very sorry" be gasped out the
words ,aH
..No need to express your regrets, sir. l
am engaged to be married, and l. will bid
you good morning" @ Cd
Murray got out of the room as best he
could, and vanished that day from Washing
ton. His wealth turned out to be mere
fabrication Of his own, and he was heard of
no more in fashionable circles. b
"After all, wasn't it funny that I should
be courted for my fortune ?" Sally said, as
she related Mr.. Murary's discontinue to
Tom.
but I agreed with Mr.. Trumbull," he
replied enthusiastically, "that you are worth
your weight in gold"

A HANDSOME Soul. day last win
ter, little boy from the South, who was OIL
visit to the city, was taking his first les
son in the art of sliding down the hill, >
when he found his feet in rather too close
contact with a lady's silk DRESS Surprised
mortified and confused. he sprang from his
sled, and, cap in hand, commenced an apol-
ogy.
Il beg your pardon, ma'am; I am very
sorry"
'Never mind that exclaimed the lady
There is no great harm done, and you fee
worse about it than I do ,
"But, dear madam" said the boy, "youl
dress is ruined. I thought that you would
be very angry with me for being SO careless ,
"Oh, no." replied the lady, "better tc
have soiled dress than rufAed temper. u
ooh, isn't she beauty p exclaimed the
lad. as the lady passed on.
"Who, that lady 2" returned his comrade,
''if you call her beauty you shan't choose
for me. Why, she is more than thirty years
old, and her face is wrinkled"
Il don't care if her face is wrinkled," re-
piled the hero, "her soul IS handsome any,
hon."
A shout of laughter followed, from which
the little fellow was glad to escape. Rela-
ting the incident to his mother, he remark
ed: 20, mother, that lady did me good,
shall never forget it; and when I am tempt
ed to indulge in my angry passions, I viii
think of what she said, Better to have
solied dress than ruffled temper"

SHow-The world is crazy for show
There is not one person in thousand who
dares fall back on his real simple self for pow
er to get through the world, and exact en-
.joyment as it goes along. There is too much
living in the eyes of other people. There is
no end to the aping and mimicry the false
airs, and the superficial airs 1t requires
rare courage, we admit, to live up to ones
enlightened convictions in these days. If a
man dares to live within his means, and is
resolute in his purpose not to appear more
than he really is, let him be applauded.-
There is something fresh and invigorating
in such an example, and we honor and up
hold such man with all the energy in our
power.

Toueu TINES. The quickest way to make
"hard times" is to refuse to pay all little
bills, although you have the money in your
pocket-push men to pay you who haven't
the money, although you can get along
without tiff man don't meet his obliga-
tons just at the time they may become due,
report that he is about to ''bust" cut down
the wages of your own hands before it is
necessary-keep back all from market until
the prices get up to starvation rates use
money in speculations, that you should pay
your creditors with-forget that unnecces-
sary ''retrenchments" increase hard times
instead Of lettering them-carry long face
and talk long and mournfully Of evils to
come-do these and other acts like them,
and "hard times" will surely come, howev-
er little real cause there may be for them.

The Rising of the Waters-A California
Phenomenon. HiE

Among the curious phenomena of our eli
mate none is so incredible and mysterious as
the rising of the springs in the very time
when all theory would prove that our driest
time should be just setting in for long con-
tinuance. Yes, everywhere, ere our long
term Of drought from dearth of rain has
reached within sixty days of its termination,
the springs, instead of growing more dry to
the end, begin to grow prematurely moist,
and water flows without rain where not a
drop was seen week before? When we read
attentively this law of nature, we shall see a
beautiful provision that saves our trees and
shrubbery from the destructive desication
that befalls the heritage OF the fields to the
very roots. In other climates the counter
play of electric forces draws water from the
upper air to feed the rooted plant by down
ward percolation. In California this action
is simply reversed. There being no water
above, electric conduction finds play in draw
ing it from beneath There is reason to be-
lieve that our soil has porosity corresponding
to this process In no other climate are the
waters under the earth so abundant. They
are saved from superficial evaporation by the
habitude of our streams to sink underground
and disappear from sight. Evaporation does
not cease but instead of being dissipated in
the atmosphere direct, it passed through the
intervention of the earth, and in its passages
it moistens all the pores and feeds the tree
roots in its ascent. In the longest days and
the hottest sunshine, evaporation takes away
the ascending surplus from the surface SO
fast that none remains to show flow upon the
ground. In the latter days of August, this
sun power and the length Of days decline. =
August is also our month Of fogs. The
grain bearing heritage is dried up or cut
down. and the pores if kept open are glazed
over and impervious to vapor from beneath.
Everything conspires to check the needless
waste of water through the air. And thus
it is that in our frightening night time there
remains a surplus to give flow to the surface
springs. Blessed be Providence for this
kind provision, by which, as the leugthen-
ing dronth threatens destruction, there comes
from depths concealed increase of moisture,
bringing to the earth resurrection Of life and
salvation.

Il DoN'r CARE Yes, you do, and
there's no use trying to deceive yourself with
the sophistry Of those words. The best and
noblest truest and most generous part Of
your nature does care for the unkind, cut

loved, in moment of pique. You may car
~ yourself ever so proudly and elegantly,
you may never drop, by look or word, the
sweet dew of healing on the wound you have
made, in a nature as proud, or sensitive aud
exacting as your own; but to your honor
be it said, you are better than your word,
and away down in your heart Turk shame
and repentance an ! sorrow for them You
may carefully hide them both, and in lit
tie while they will be gone, for oh! it is
very easy to make ones self bitter, proud
and cold-yery hard to keep ones self sweet

some pain and struggling, before you can dc

BEAUTIFUL PRAYER FOR CH1LDREN.-In
reading over our exchange papers we lately
came across this prayer, which we commend
to parents as one Of the most appropriate for
children that we have ever seen:
Dear Saviour, we do thank Thee for
coming so far to save liz. We remember
how Thou vast little boy in Bethlehem's
manger how Thou didst 60 about doing
good; without any home; men ill-treating
Thee until at last, after thirty.three years
Thou didst die for me on Calvary; O, Saw
our help me to call Thee my Saviour; may
| show my love for Thee by trying to keep
all Thy commandments by being very kind
to everybody; by keeping thy Sabbath day;
by not saying bad words; by helping my
father and mother. Dear Saviour, bless all
that love; make them all Thy children.
and in little while may We meet Thee in
Heaven, for Jesus sake, Amen

LONGING.
BY JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.

or all the myriad moods of mind
That through the soul came throngin6,
Which one was e'er SO dear, SO kind,
So beautiful as longing2
The thing we long for, that We are,
For one transcendent moment;
Before the Present, poor and bare,
Can make its sneering comment.
Still. through our paltry stir and strife,
Grows down our wished Ideal;
And longing moulds in clay what life
Carves in the marble real;
To let thenew life in we know,
Desire must ope the portal;
Perhaps the longing to be SO
Helps make the soul immortal.
Longing is Gods fresh heavenward will,
With our poor earthward striving;
We uuench il that we may be still
Content with merely living;.
But, would we learn the hearts full scope,
Which we are hourly wronging,
Our lives must climb from hope to hope,
And realize our longing.
All! let us hope that to our praise
Good God not only reckons
The moments when we tread his ways,
But when the spirit beckons;
That some slight good is also wrought
Beyond dissatisfaction,
When we are simply good in thought,
Howeer we fail in action.
