swept into the room all fuss and feath-
ers, fiounces and Alaska sables, followed
by the husband and father, who carried
ia his arms little black-and-tan lap
dog with silver collar and red blanket
bound with blue velvet. Instantly bat
terry of eight indignant eyes poured
down upon the intruder and four proud
heads gave as many losses, while poor
Florence stood trembling in a corner.
"Sir!n calculated madam, with the
air of queen, 1--WE have not the honor
of your OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES this
intrusion?"
Fred rose and, bowling politely, replied
with perfect sang frotd: " had no inten-
ton of intruding upon goa, madam. 1t
was Florence l came to see.
"What insolencei" exclaimed Miss
Julia. I" 1t were well to order Patrick to
duck him in the horsepond."
Indeed" echoed Belle, at were a
consummation devoutly to be wished! !"
"You will oblige us by retiring, ser! !"
said madam, pointing to the door:
"Oh, certainly! anything to oblige SO
polite and elegant lady," returned the
young farmer, a hooking smile upon his
lips and flash of contempt in his dark
eyes, as he prepared to depart. Unac-
countably to themselves all quailed be-
meath his glance and each felt guilty OF a
| very mean action as he disappeared from
their view. Turning TO vent their spite
upon Florence, it was discovered that she
had flown to her room, where she re-
manned locked in for hours, not even adj
hitting her mother.
"Myd dear children" said Uncle Wilmot,
a would advise you to marry"
"But-my mother-my sisters-they
will disown mel" rejoined Florence,
anxiously.
"Let them; I shall not. They'll come
around when they think of my money.
bags" And the old gentleman chuckled
| at the idea.
"But, sir" said Fred Glover, a have
too much pride to intrude myself upon a
family who deem me so much beneath
them"
Don't talk to me in that way! Be-
meath them, indeed! Because you don't
put on airs-because you are farmer
and work with your own hands! l tell
YOU, they know you are infinitely above
them in intellect, and that's the reason
they hate you. One thing you may rest
assured of-where there are little drdtRs
there is always great presumption and
ridiculous pride. Get married, my chill
dren, as soon as you please. The money
bags will make il all right"
The young folks took the old mans adj
vice, and then-wasn't there row In the
family? However, they all became recon
ciled in time, and some years after, when
the Highfiers came down with a grand
smash in consequence of the failure in
business of the husband and father, Flor
ence's two sisters were glad to accept an
asylum in the house of Fred Glover, the
once despised farmer, who now lived In
as good style as they once had done
Uncle Wilmot was constant visitor at
the home of his beloved Florence, and
as he fondled her lovely children he
would say to her eldest son: he a

The famous dye called henna, which
has been in use among Oriental nations
from very ancient times, is procured
from the shrub Lawsonia alba, OF the
natural order Lythracea, The plant is
often cultivated for the sake OF its flow
ers, which are exceedingly fragrant; but
it is mainly priced for its leaves, which
abound in coloring matter. These last,
being dried, powdered and made into
paste with hot water and catechu, are
employed by the women of the East TO
stain the nails and tips OF the fingers OF
an orange color The men also use it to
