you have any knowledge Of, cOmpRr-
ing Miss 4. with every one in turn as
you have compared her With the par
rot and wren, you will find the wren
remains at last the very bird, Of al!
others, to which Miss T. bears the
most pointed resen blance. But come
here on Tuesday evening and if !
mistake not you shall find the meek,
chirruping little body 50 rnffied and
indignant as you have never yet seen
her,"
On the evening appointed, little
Miss 4. was first to arrive st her
friend The physiog uOmist's. Shs
seemed in the gsyest mood, and go
ing to the piano, ran quickly over the
scales, talking cheerily all the time.
The entrance OF 8 Mr.. Peregrine, and
his friend interrupted her gayety.
Peregrine and she not being acqusint-
ed, were introduced 10 each other in
in due form by the hostess, who
watched them keenly. PeTegrine
was a younge man Of shallow COM
pIeXiOn, clean shaven face. black
eyes, eyebrows sweeping toward at
their outer Examinations, a sharp,
thin and hooked nose, lips ia outline
like a cupid's bow, but not notably
thin and compressed, and a head OF
straight black hair, brushed back
from his face and behind his ears.
Peregrine was frequent visitor at
the physiOgnOmist's, and had been
classified by her as belonging to the
falcon tribe, and doubtless he hal
been brought there That evening to
hulter the poor little wren. As he
stood up to his full height in front of
her, bis head thrown back and his
piercing eyes serutinizinR her over
the point OF his beak, IL would not
have been surprising TO see little Miss
T. toltering and turn pale, aad COVER
ing away in q corner. But she did
nothing OF the sort. With the brief
est possible glance at Peregrine, she
acknowledged his slight bow with an
inclination of the head rs s slight.
Then with an air of sternness that was
new I'd her, she began talking To her
as il ObliviOus OF Peregrine's
presence. The company was too
small, however, for conversation In
couples, so that the talk soon became
general.
Peregrine would have conducted
mis- discourse without any reference to
the little wren, merely deigning to
cast lightning glance at her oeca-
sIOnslly but the wren would not be
sighted so. She soon took exception
rather warmly to one Of his remarks,
which he in turn ventured TO defend,
and the result was an argument,
on the gentleman's side
with supereiliOus cOndesceDsiOn,l I and
On the lady's with indignant sarcasm.
Indeed, Miss T. Kept up continuous
lire of sarcastic remarks against Pere-
CRIME, the whole evening, and that
gentleman took his leave, very Yisi-
bly, subdued and shOrn of his impor-
lance. When Miss T. retired she was
ust a trifle rufHed, it is true, but
perky and self-assertive,
md to her hostess, she said, as she !

Appearances. A

Expensive dress on the part of women
is one of the eXtravagances of the day,
yet not the leading one. There is much
senseless competition in pOmp and
show, till the necessities" of the house.
hold are so extended that modern in
comes are inadequate TO the require
ments of the ordinary circles of society.
People live at their front windows
rather than i'm their rooms. Madame
who resides on the square looks conde-
scendingly on Madame who resides in
a side street and the Brown Stone"
family envy their neighbors the possess
sion of a new style of monogram upon
their lace curtains, and put an extra
row of embroidery upon their own
hangings from sheer spirit of revenge
if nothing more. The extra row costs
money; and thus it goes. Progressive
Americanism is responsible for this,
and it is quite time to turn backward
and become sensible in our manner of
living. False show brings its own
penalty, and bankrupt merchants swell
the list of unhappy hOuseholders, simply
because retrenchment, even while in
solvent, is looked upon with distrust,
and the man who dares to live as he
should do, without regard to his next
door neighbor. may set good example
by Studying his own interests and living
for his own comfort, not for appearances.

woman's Rights IN Algeria.

A striking illustration OF Arab man
ners and customs" was furnished by
trial which took place at the recent
assizes held at Bone in Algeria. Fer
hat ben Amar, man about thirty years
of age, and the owner of a large tract OF
land, and of several herds of cattle, de-
;ermined to take To himself wife.
Cpon the Sth of April last he married a
girl called MessaOuda, having first Ob-
tanned the consent of her two uncles,
both her mother and father being dead.
In accordance with the usual custom of
the Arabs. he agreed tn give her GER
tain dowry, the amount of which was
paid over 10 the nncles in trust fOE her.
The honeymoon seems TO have been OF
short duration, for five days after the
wedding Ferhat- ben-Amar called upon
the uncles To complain of his wife, who,
he said, showed no affection for him.
The uncles, aware that by Arab law
the husband can put away his wife and
claim the restitution OF the dOwry,
which they probably had spent already,
endeavOred 10 compromise matters by
inducing Ferhau- hen Amar TO send his
wife back 10 them for a short time,
that they might reason with her. This
he consented To do, but when she had
been with them only two days her hus-
band arrived ON red horse" and de-
manded her back. MessaOuda, who
complained that he had i'll treated her,
fled out of the house. d, claring that
>he would gn to tue cadi and ask for
divorce. Ferhat- ben-Amar, hearing
this threat, galloped after her, aud get
ting off his horse, took up large stone
and struck her with it on the head with
such force that she dropped down dead.
He then remounted his horse and rode
quietly home. All these facts Were
sworn to by an eye witnesses, and con-
tirmed by the evidence of the doctors.
The proofs of the crime were absolutely
complete, but the advocates of the
accused, instead of falling back on
insanity as defense, asserted that hls
client was innocent, and called several
