could not speak.

We are mere acquaintances."
Harry caught her hand.
"Is this grlsh evasion" he asked, almost
sternly, cor the truth ?"
Harry Bolton looked into the tear flushed

"Too old to be loved?"
"You are not old at ALL"
"Estella, can you love me?'
She made no reply. Harry drew her closer
to him and repeated the question: then the
answer came in the lowest, iaintest whisper:
81 love you better than my lite; 1T would kill
me to part with you"
Harry Bolton won his treasure.

HAVE CoURAGE.-It conduces much to our
content if we pass by those things which hap
pen to our trouble, and consider what is pleas
ing and prosperous, that by the representation
of the better the worse may be blotted out. If
l be overthrown in my suit at law, yet my
house is left me still, and my land, erI have
virtuous wife, or hopeful children, or kind
friends, or good hopes. If have lost one child
it may be have two or three still left me. En-
Joy the present, whatsoever it may be, and not
be soicitous for the future; for if you take your
foot from the present standing, and thrust it
frward towards to morrow's event, you are in
a restless condition it is like refusing to quench
our present thirst by fearing you shall want
drink the next day. If to morrow you should
want, your sorrow would come time enough,
though you do not hasten to it; let your trou
BILE tarry till its own day comes. Enjoy the
the evils of it bear patiently and sweetly, for
this day is ours. We are dead to yesterday,
and not yet born to the morrow.

"Fiddles" attacks my cloves Caprice" ,

"Fiddles" attacks my Gloves Caprice" with
a very long sweep of the bow. The impression
of the author is that having many of her own
MSS rejected, jealousy has crept in, which
should be above any true lady. She is, per-
haps, aware that an ordinary society story is
not particularly easy of composition, and un-
less written by one of the standard authoresses
of the day, usually goes to the waste basket
The undersigned has had his pieces published
in some of the first newspapers, and as he
writes for amusement alone, it can scarcely be
expected that he would take that pains regu-
lar writer would.
But let us see wherein the "Life Drama" etc.,
is so Extremely" original. In the first place
works of fiction necessarily 'play upon the i'm
agimation." Secondly, the remark "that Fort
Carroll ,oas receding to the rear" is one that
anybody who has ever been upon boat has
heard. We constantly use the term when in
motion ourselves in respect to stationary OBJ
jects, and especially SO when on water. Third
lv, "redu plcated" can be found, think, in
Webster, and has often been used. That it
should be impossible for lady to think of q
sprained ankle when being asked to marry a
man, cannot conceive, but being lady her
self, 1 will concede that point; and that Gid
dies" should take umbrage at Mr.. Truevean be-
ing so soon called Grant after he had said the
fatal words, cannot wonder. But it is aston
ishing how quickly woman can grow affec-
tionate and drop formality when Adolphus sur
renders his liberty. Finally, the "criticism" Of
Miss F. is taken as the highest tribute of
the excellence of his effusion, by
Hers truly, R. B. LEWIS.

p owed himself perfectly sober, honest, in
tastrious, and religious man, faithfully per-
orming, as far as lay in his power, the duties
ot his station in life, and serving God with
constancy and zeal and yet this very man,
this virtuous and pious man, was once a rob-
Der on the highway. More than thirty years
ago he stopped me on the high road and de-
manded my money. Not at all intimidated,

him to pursue so iniqultious a course of life.-

now out of place, and not being able to get
character, can get no employment and am
therefore obliged to resort to this means of
gaining a subsistence" l desired him to call
upon me, he promised he would and kept his
word. talked further with him, and offered
to take him into my service. He consented,
and ever since that period he -has-sazxad-
faithfully, and not me only, but he has faith
fully served God. And instead of having fin
ished his life in public, ignominous manner,
with depraved and hardened mind, as he
probably would soon have done, he has died in
peace, rejoicing in hope, and prepared, we
trust, for the society of just men made perfect.

MORAL LESSONS FOR ALL None are so dis
tinguished but they may become obscure
none of us may be SO exalted in this world as
to be exempt from the possibility of fall
Bonaparte never dreamed of Waterloo; and
Francis Joseph could not have realized Sol
erino. Little did Pitt think when, in his
pride of place, he shut himself up to ponder
in his house at Putney Heath, that he should
die there neglected and alone-not a servant to
wait upon his call-not friend in his last mo
ments at his bedside. And though we do not
expect to be Bonapartes, or Francis Josephs,
or Pitts, little events take their color from
great ones, and every mans private life has,
upon diminished scale, its incidental resem-
bance to the lives of the more notable.
MORAL Never grow too expansive for your
own security; never fancy you are beyond the
reach of adversely; never look arrogantly
down upon the humble, lest some day you
have need to envy the solace of their humli-
ty; never suppose that because you have been,
perchance, more fortunate than other men, you
must be made of better material, and are. CON
sequently, more precious in the sight OF Provi-
dence. The clay that makes the beggar makes
the king; and it is only the outside garment
ing that makes the difference in their appear
ance. Be modest. Keep on the safe side of
fortune, for she is an incorrigable coquette.-
Never trust to her fidelity because she smiles /;
and when she smiles most always prepare for
a coming hurricane.

OUR HARRY.
BY CARY MAYNE

BY CARY MAYNE.
Our Harry is but five years old,
And very fond of singing;
Such lots of hymns he knows by heart
He keeps the rafters ringing.
Sometimes the words do puzzle him,
He doesn't know their meaning,
When mamma kindly makes it plain,
Our Harry's eyes are beaming.
II want to be an angel" he
Sings with much animation;
Once, when he came to "harp'' he paused
In solemn meditation.
Please mamma, tell me, what's "harp ?'
Why, darling, angels use it
In praising God on golden harps
They make sweet, heavenly music.
And shortly, mamma overheard,
Her two boys at the window,
"Harry you oughtn't kill that fyl"
81 ought" ats such sin, thought"
''It 'tisn't, 'tause as soon's it dies
1t goes right straight to heaven;
And everything up there's so nice,
It's better dead than livin'."
But mamma told us often, Hal,
How very bad and cruel
1t is to give poor insects pain;
Leave them alone, now, you willP"
"No, Joe, you help me till the flies;
Till lis one in the middle
And bod will make it angel f'y,
And dive the f'y a.fddteH'

mer day, when Eolus slept, and the thermom-
eter stood in the ninetiesy a lady entered a shop
and asked for parasols. The obliging proprie-
tor spread out before her samples of large and
varied stock. "Have you any Of this shade
size larger?" asked the lady. The size larger
was produced. ~ think on the whole prefer
the size smaller" The size smaller was pre-
sented. "Have you any of this size a lighter
shade of blue?" The required shade was brought
out. "Haven't you any of this kind with a
crooked handle 2" The shade with the crooked
handle appeared. "Have you any with the
crooked handle not SO heavy?" said the lady,
and so continued her inquiries for every con-
ceIvable size, shade and weight possible in the
line of parasols. After nearly an hour had
been thus consumed the fair shopper gathered
up her handkerchief and gloves and moved for
the door. Can't sell you parasol?" inquir.

HOME MADE SHIRTS. The Troy Times says:
"A day or two ago, while crossing the ice, we
overheard two ladies talking about new dress,
and one of the ladies remarked that, when l
tried it on, asked Bob if it was good I'll about
the waist and he replied, well, I should say
not 1t about as we'll as home made shirt
There was volume in Bob's reply. AS a rule,
home made shirts don't fit at all. They will
draw in at the back and over the shoulder to
that extent that fellow don't know whether
he is incased in a shoulder brace or strait
jacket. The neck band may not go twice around
and tuck in behind, but it usually laps about
three inches, or else it is cut so low in the neck
that a twenty -four-inch collar is required to
reach the collar button. In leaning forward,
when sitting, the bosom crushes in at the sides
and projects in the middle, looking more like
ly-demoralized dust pan than an thing else.
The sleeves are so short that the large twenty
ive-cent cuff buttons, selected with great care,
either tickle fellows elbows, or dangle around
his finger nails, never arriving at compro-
mise between the extremes. The shirts are
generally of an abbreviated character, making
the affair resemble an overgrown roundabout.
Men do not like to find fault, knowing that
their wives meant well enough, and worked
hard in making the garments, they do not hes
itate to say that the desire of their hearts is
that their wives should 60 out Of the business"

Fay Tempieton Aniance.

The above combination will COM
mence an engagement in this city next
Thursday night. Speaking of their
performance the Philadelphia City
Item refers to the troupe in the follow
ing terms:
Last night the "Falry STAR" Fay
TIE mpleton, sang her first note to the
people of Philadelphia. This lovely
little artistic, young as she Is, is already
famous. All the critics agree In
awarding her first.class position.
Much was expected of "Fay," coming,
as she did, with the praise of the crit.
ical audience of New York and San
Francisco, and the anticipations of
her genius aud versatility were fully
realized. Her acting last night was
natural and powerful, aud the lavish
applause showed that the audience
was highly appreciative, and in SYM
patty with her. Comedy, tragedy,
burlesque, songs, dances, duos, and, In
fact, everything nearly that can be
done, are done by this thorough little
artistic In manner to be seen and not
to be described. The excellent humor
of John Templeton, and the spirited
acting and singing OF Alice Vane adj
ded to the enjoyment Of the crowded
and delighted audience. The recep.
ton given 10 these artists last evening
was very flattering, aud the houses
during the week will undoubtedly be
large.

to the announcement of w. III. Prather

for Dallas county. The office IL one of
great responsibility, a bond for one
