Feminine RivalrieS.

A woman writes in the Boston Globe ::
"One day, on the trip up, when reading
a magazine, my attention was attracted
by the glitter of gold bracelet, which,
look where I would, flashed before my
eyes, and further scrutiny revealed the
fact that the young lady who wore it was
particularly anxious that I should be at
>racted by it, and, to further her design,
began cutting the leaves of her magazine
with silver fruit-knife. For the Dur.
pose of showing her that was not par
ticularly dazzled, in fact, that there was
another such in the world, took gold
pencil from my pocket and marked a pas
sage in my book, for my bracelet was
equal to hers. Observing that fact, she
drew off her left glove and carefully
arranged her veil, that l might not
fail to see the heavily chased ring
which encircled her finger. I could
Ego her one bettcr' here; so
taking off my glove, I drew down the
blind, flashing rare topaz and solitaire
diamond before her appreciative eyes.
She saw, and quickly pulling off her 9TH

mond and a gigantic amethyst. l was

earrings, felt that after all I was even

MISCELLANY.
WHOM FIRST WE LOVE.
BY OWEN MEREDITH

Whom first we love, you know, we seldom
wed;
Time rules us all. And life, indeed, is not
The thing we planned it out ere hope was
And then we women cannot choose our lot
Much must be borne which it is hard to bear,
Much given away which it were sweet to
keep
God help us all ! who need indeed his care:
And yet l know the Shepherd loves his
sheep.
Nv little boy begins to babble now
Upon my knee his earliest infant prayer;
He has his fathers eager eyes know.
And, they say, too, his mothers sunny hair
But when he sleeps and smiles upon my knee,
And can feel his light breath come and 20,
think OF one-Heaven help and pity mel
Who loved me, and whom loved, long ago.
Who might have been-ah, what dare not
think.
We all are changed. God judges for the
best,
God help us do our duty, and not shrink,
And trust in Heaven humbly for the rest
-dhlt blame us women not, if some appear
Too cold at times, and some too gay and
light;
Some grlets gnaw deep; some woes are hard to
Who knows the past? And who can judge
us right?
Al, were we judged by what we might have
been,
And not by what we are-too apt to fall!
Nv little child--he sleeps and smiles between
These thu lights and me. In heaven we shall
know all.

Wearing Spcctacles.

When the eyes begin to fail, use them
as little as possible at night, and avoid
reading fine print or doing any work by
lamp light which tries them. But when
you instinctively adjust your book so as
to get better light, when the eyes are
easily fatigued and there is a sense of
effort to make out the letters in print or
to take stitches in sewing, spectacles are
needed. They ale the last things to be
bought for cheapness. Brazilian glasses
are best, because Of natures make, and
most difficult TO be scratched, but you
should wear manufactured glasses first,
until the eye becomes accustomed to their
use. Always note the number of your
glasses and the date of first using them;
II lost you can tell what number you
want. Glasses should be washed every
day in cold water, wiped dry with a linen
fabric and then with buckskin, never
with paper, as it scratches them.

He 1nnst have passed his sixtieth birth
day, but no one cared to look a second
time to see if he was growing old and
wearing out. He chored around livery
stables and saloons, always hungry and
always ragged, aud while no one was his
friend, he had no enemies.
The other day he fell down in a faint in
saloon on the river road, and when he
was restored to consciousness he startled
the three or four men who placed him
on the bed by exclaiming:

whether Uncle Heb was ever going to Gle.
It was the general impression among his
acquaintance that he would live along
for three or four hundred years.

''Kinder trembly and wcak,'' he re-
piled. 'I'll bet fifty cents kick the
bucket afore noon.'
They offered to bring doctor, but he
said:

The men imagined that it was mere
weakness, which would soon pass off. and
one of them sat down near him while the
others retired to go about their business.
Its tough weather for funeral - re-
marked Uncle Heb, as the fierce wiad
howled around the house. s'It don't
make any difference how I'm carried up :;
I wouldn't know it if there were sixteen

After pause he smiled blandly and
inquired:
