may thank heaven for not being muir
derer."
Without word he turned and walked
away. Perhaps the man was sorry
who knows?
After while Nita recovered, and
looking around, said family, "Is Lily
here?
Eyes, mamma" and the child came
forward and sobbed out "Oh, mamma
darling, thought you were dead"
"Would to God | could die" ! heard
her murmur; then she said, "No,
will live, | must live for my little one. -
And she clasped the child in her arms.
When Lily had gone from the room
Nita turned to me and said, "Perhaps
you were surprised to see Mr.. Ashton,
| cannot say my husband, here this
morning, and now | will explain all
to you. After marrying him | found
he had welded me only for my money,
and when father failed he was very
angry to think now / would have none.
Then after that he often used to come
home intoxicated, and when he struck
me that night | could stand no more
and took my child and fed. One would
naturally suppose | would go to my
fathers house, but ! could not bear to,
and was also afraid Mr.. Ashton would
try TO compel me to come home again,
thing which determined never to do.
First ! went to Galburg, but he soon
tracked me there and threatened to take
my child. was dreadfully frightened (;
then came here, where | thought he
could never find me; and now, after
staying this long it begins to feel like
home, and it seems so hard to leave it. :"
"But, Mrs. Ashton, why must you
go away 2" ! queried. "He will most
likely follow you everywhere you go,
and believe me, | scarcely think he
would dare to take Lily"
Nita seemed little relieved, and
after few more words, | rose to go,
thinking truly that
"Our fate ia the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days be dark and dreary."
When | reached home | told Addie
all Nita had just been telling me, and
the warm hearted girl went right away
to her friend, to cheer and comfort her
as best she could.
The next week the papers were full
of an accident that had occurred at
fashionable watering place.
1t appeared that party had hired a
yacht and gone out on the ocean for a
few days. On the second day violent
thunder storm arose The yacht sunk
and all on board perished. Among the
drowned was the name of Harold NJ.
Ashton.
What more remains to be told except
that in few months more peerless
Nita will be my own.

The DUTY Of a Woman to be a Lady.

Wildness is a thing which girls can
not afford. Delicacy is a thing which
cannot be lost and found. No art can
restore to the grape its bloom. Famll-
iarity without love, without conf
dence, without regard, is destructive
to all that makes woman exalting and
| ennObling.
'The World is wide. these things are small,
They may be nothing, but they are ALL"
NothinRR 1t is the first duty of n
woman to be lady. Good breeding is
good sense. Bad manners in a woman
is an immortality. Awkwardness may
be ineradicable. Bashfulness is con-
stitutiOnaI. Ignorance of etiquette is
the result of circumstances. All can
be cOndOned, and do not Danish man
or woman from the amenities of their
kind. But self-pOssessed, unshrinking
and aggressive cOarseness of demeanOr
may be reckoned as state prison Of
fence, and certainly merits that mild
form of punishment called imprison-
ment for life. 1t is shame for women
to be lectnred on their manners. 1t is
bitter shame that they need. Women
are the umpires of society. 1t is they
to whom all mooted points should be
referred. To be a lady is more than to
be prince. A lady is always in her
right iDalienably worthy of respect. To
lady prince and peasant alike bow.
Do not be restrained. Do not have
impulses that need restraint Do not
wish to dance with the prince unsought;
feel differently. Be sure that you con-
fer honor. Carry yourselves so lofty
that men shall look up to you for re-
ward, not at You in rebuke. The ma
tural sentiment of man toward woman
is reverence. He loses a large means
of grace when he is obliged to account
her a being to be trained into prOpriety.
A mans ideal is not wounded when
woman fails in worldly wisdom; but
if in grace, in tact, in sentiment, in
delicacy, in kindness, she should be
found wanting, he receives an inward
hurt.-GdH Hamilton.

Curious ORIGIN Of Words.

The derivation of many words in COM
mon use is curious, Probably few have
an idea whence comes the word "tram-
way" by which the English denote a
horse-car track. 1t is derived from the
second syllable Of the name Outram.
The ancestor Of Sir James Outram, n
very distinguished general, who died u
few years ago, took leading part in
extending horse railroads for drawing
coal, ETC. and his roads were called
Outram ways, and gradually the first
syllable was dropped. Another curious
derivation is that Of the word "wallop, ="
meaning to beat. I'll wallop you" is
still frequent expression in rural
England. II arises from complete
naval victory of Admiral Wallop, a
member Of the very ancient family Of
which the Earl of Portsmouth-wh
also has the honor to represent Sir Isaac
Newton--is now the head.

Society Tibs.

Dear mel" exclaimed a vivaciOus
young friend Of ours the other day, 81
have just had TO tell the most shocking
.fJs! My conscience troubles me yet"
"Why, and about what did you tell
your tibsy" we asked, and the answer
was:
"Oh, ! went to see my friend Mrs.
Brown, who has just gone to housekeep-
ing, and nothing would do but | must
go over the whole house, and admire it,
of course. Helen kept asking all the
time: Now isn't this carpet lovelyY
and Did you ever see more beautiful
tabley' or is not that the easiest arm
chair you ever sat in? until | was both
tired of agreeing with her, and ashamed
of myself for doing it; for to tell the
truth, ! didn't like her taste at all. 1t
is so hard to be enthusiastic to order"
"Ihen why attempt it at all?' we
inquired.
"What wOdld you have one to do? be
candid and disagreeable? vex your
friends by speaking your mind, and
expect them to take your uncomfortable
sayings amiably? You must remember
that we do not live in the Palace Of
Truth nowadays"
''Then it would be better if we did,
since one must be untruthful to be
liked"
"Not mtruthtaU that is such harsh,
ugly word" objected our companion.
81 said .dJs, you know"
"Well 'fbs, are mtruths, it seems to
us, and when you agree with your
friends because yOl fear to offend or
annoy them by disagreement, you do
violence to your sense of truth, and
impair the sensibility ofyOur conscience.
The same fibs will be easier next time,
and the passive untruth may merge into
the active falsehOod. -
"Then would you have me ARRAYS say
what Think. Can the truth be spoken
at all times?"
sit is quite possible to be kind and
polite, even in our truthtelling. Otien-
sive candOr is not a Christian grace,
though we have known many people
who were frank even to positive rude
ness, under this misapprehensiOn. But
conscientious souls, with ordinary tact,
will preserve their own integrity with
out wOunding Others"
"But what would you do if you went
to see a baby as did lately, and had to
say it was perpect beauty when it was
positively ugly? Wouldn't that test
your principles ?"
"No, because we would not say any
such thing. A baby is always precious
gift to its mother, and one might speak
of its sweetness and lovableness grace
fully enough, without mentioning
beauty. Rest assured, that all the fibs
which you think friendship and social
intercourse demand Of you, can be
avoided by little thoughtfulness on
your part; and you will not only save
your conscience many a pang, but your
friends will grow insensibly to realize
your eXactness of speech, and to prize
your words the more"

If a reflective, aged man were to find
at the bottom of an old chest-where it
had lain forgotten fifty years-a a record
which he had written of himself when
he was young. simply and vividly de-
scribing his whole heart and pursuits,
and reciting, verbatim, many passages
of the language which be sincerely
uttered, would he not read it with more
wonder than almost any other writer
could at his age inspireR He wonld
lose the assurance of his identity under
the impression of his immense dissim-
ilarity. 1t would seem as if it must
be the tale of the juvenile days of some
ancestor, with which he had no connec-
ton but that of name.

The Power OF VIII,

1t has been said that man can do
anything he resolves to do. This must,
however, be taken with the limitation
that he shall resolve to do only things
that are possible. To resolve that he
will climb to the moon will certainly
never take him to that interesting sa-
tellite; and to resolve that he will grow
to eleven feet high will not carry his
scalp to that altitude above his stock
ings. Still the saying is a deserved
tribute to the will, as force; for the
will is force, and tremendous one at
that, sometimes; it cannot be seen,
heard or handled; it is invisible, intan-
gible and inaudible; but yet it is a
power, because it sets other powers
and agencies in motion; and accom-
plishes great things through them.
There are two kinds of will power
the aggressive and the passive. The
former generally takes the form of
what we call enterprise; it daTes to in
wade fields hitherto unexplored, or OF
essay objects that appear impossible of
execution, and show to the world how
much can be done with little means; it
is the chief element in the constitution
of such men as Napoleon, Caesar, and
Cromwell.

Sometimes half the fish would De out

detect any motions Of fins -or body to

modes of flight such as by bats and in
sects, the dragon fly as an instance; but
the sailing of birds il a most interesting
study for philosophers, and it will be
safe to say that man will never be able
to put il in practice. But the

sicilian Brlgands.

The majority of. these brigands are
from eighteen to twenty-f four years of
age, and they frequently end their lives
IN prison or by a violent death. Many
OF them, however, learn the bitterness
OF that way of life and become honest
men from the Tevulsion of feeling. The
knife is the inseparable companion of
the brigand, and he knows both how to
give and receive it thrusts with the ut
most cOolness. When two of them
quarrel the challenge TO fight is some
thing like this:
Friend, are you busyn "NO." 81
would like word with you; yes even
two" "Are you armedP" "Yes."
"Will you cOmep Let us CO." And
they resort TO some uninhabited spot
to fight. If one is injured the other
becomes his physician and attends to
his wound. The injured brigand never
betrays the name of his enemy, and
often in the hospitals of Palermo young
men die without a word, the heroes of
their code of honor. When a new man
is added to their company the brigands
make trial of his courage to deter
mine whether he is worthy to become
one of them. The Sicilian mafiosO
wears jacket and pantaloOns of vel
vet, cap or hat a little crooked, the
hair curled on the temples, and his
language is sharp and concise. He is
armed with guns and'pistOls of the best
manufacture, and carries a great guam
tity of ammunition, as well as an ex-
cellent field glass, with which to ex-
anime his enemies at a distance. But
however daring and well organized
may be the malta, it could not flourish
as it does without the secret aid of :he
persons who inhabit the country.
These persons, living in houses
scattered along the road, conceal the
maleiactors when there is OCCASION to do
so, and furnish them with food and
clothing. Without courage to be real
brigands they accept the brigands'
money, and are more inimical to the
public peace than the outlaws are.
Many large prOprletors are also intimi-
dated into giving aid to the brigands
when they demand it.

Who First Introduced Potatoes Into
FranCeg

The potato was unknown in LimOus-
in. 1t was not common in any part of
France, and perhaps this is not aston
ishing when we remember that the first
field crop even in agricultural Scot
land is supposed only to have been
sown in the fourth decade of that
country. People would not touch it,
though the experiment of persuading
them to cultivate this root had been
frequently tried. In LimOusin the
people were even more obstinate in their
prejudice than elsewhere. But TurgOt
persevered, knowing how useful pOta-
toes would be in a land where scarcity
of grain was so common. The ordi-
nary view was that they were hardly
fit for pigs, and that in human beings
they would certainly cause leprosy.
Some of the English Puritans would
not eat potatoes because they are not
mentioned in the Bible, and that is per-
haps no better a reason than the other.
When, however, it was seen that the
lntendant TurgOt had the hated vege-
table served every day at his own
table, the opposition grew more faint;
men were at last brought to consent
to use potatoes for their cattle, and
after time even for themselves
