heart. The mere mention of his name
would send the blood tingling through
her veins tumultuously. She knew that
she loved him, but she had succeeded
in keeping her mother and sister in
ignorance of her weakness.
One day she was seated at the piano,
ostensibly practicing; but the listless
manner in which she touched the keys
betrayed mind pre-occupied.
She started as Clara entered the room
suddenly with note for her. Its direc-
ton was in familiar hand, which in
former days she had often seen on cards
attached to baskets of flowers.
Her heart throbbed violently as she
broke the seal and read
''THEoDoRA Will you grant me an
interview, that may learn why 1 am
denied your friendship? If any mis-
understanding has arisen between us,
it is my due that may explain it away.
If, ON the contrary, you have lost all
interest in one whose whole future will
be made or marred by his place in your
esteem, 1t is but just to let me know the
truth at once. | will call at eleven
O'Clock Tomorrow (Tuesday) morning,
and if you do not see me, l shall know
the worst, and will spare you the pain
of ever again meeting.
CLIFFORD MARspEN."
If the young lover could have seen
the kisses lavIshed upon his note, he
would have been spared the long hours
of doubt that intervened betw cen its re-
ception and the time of the appointed
interview.
The next morning Theodore was
awaiting her lover. As she heard his
approaching footsteps the alternate
flushing and paling other face betrayed
her emotion.
She arose as Clifford entered. One
moment her fingers trembled in his
clasp as eye met eye in a long, heart
revealing gaze-the next she was folded
to his heart.
"My own darling Theodore - he
murmured.
The talisman of silence. for a few
brief, sacred moments. consecrated the
room: then mutual explanations, sweet
TO the long-diyided lovers, took place.
After time Clifford drew Theodore
to the piano, saying
at was hearing your voice in that
glorious anthem which gave me cour-
age to make one more attempt to see
you. A voice said to me as listened
Theodore loves you" 1t was my good
angel; don't you think so, dearest?"
Theodore answered by seating her
self at the piano and singing a little
Scotch song-''I will marry my ain
love-" as spiritedly as a maiden should
who sees sorrow and mistrust fade
away, and joy and faith take their place
in her happy heart.

The Mexicans in San Antonio.

Everywhere about the outskirts of
the town are innumerablc low huts
built of sticks and mud and any old
drift. rooted with thatch coming almost
to the ground, and presenting an appear
ance OF the utmost squallor. These are
the Mexican jacals. The chimney and
its ovens are usually in cone of baked
and blackened mud little removed,
and under a rude awning or tree the
whole family is usually 10 be seen, with
mules, donkeys, chickens, and horde
of dogs, among the latter hideous,
hairless animal, prOmiscuously inter-
mixed. Dogs are largely In the major
ity of the population In San Antonio,
and their baying divides the noises Of
the night with the cockcrowing that
resounds from honse to jacal, from
farm to ranch, and rises on the ear in
broad surges of sound like the waves Of
the sea. If you should glance into one
of these jacals, you would find an earth
en- floor eleanly swept. a bed neatly
made and brightly covered, and a place
garnished after its sort; and although
the general idea is that it is nest of
filth, to the casual eve it seems clean
and orderly, but poor to the last degree
of poverty. Yet the Mexican here can
live on less than any. In the summer
the corn and onions and peppers Of his
garden patch meet his needs: in the
winter, even when ne owns his bit Of
land, a fivepenny soup bone and one
sweet potato comprise his usual market
ing. But poor as he may be, his daugh-
tiers do not 90 out to service; his mother
wraps her ribosa-that remnant of the
Spanish mantilla-about her with a
grand air; and he himself, although In
rags, salutes you on the street with the
grave courtesy of Spanish don. Max
ing exceptions of the proud old Mexican
families of lineage and repute, who live
in seclusion, it is not possible to feel
that these people who are known as

Fatal Gas.

In volcanic regions springs and wells
of carbonic acid gas are not unfrequent,
forming part of the geological forma-
ton, like the springs and wells of pc
troleum i'm certain districts ofthis coun-
try. The Dogs GrottO. near Naples,
enjoys worldwide reputation for evil.
1t displays the fact that carbonic acid
gas is so much heavier than air, that ii
lies on the ground like pool of water.
The gas flows out over the threshold OF
the door, and runs like brook down
the path leading up to the grotto. In
calm weather lighted candle plunged
into the stream near its point of exit is
Immediately extinguished.

Why Flowers Have Different Hours for
Blooming

Sir John Lubbock alludes to the fact
that at certain particular hours flowers
close. The reason for it, however, is
obvious, for flowers which are fertilized
by moths and other night-hying insects
would derive no advantage by being
open by day, and on the other hand,
those fertilized by bees would gain
nothing by being open at night. The
closing of flowers, he believes, has re-
ference to the habits of insects. and it
must be confessed that the opening
and closing of flowers is gradual and
that the hours vary greatly according to
circumstances.

Proverbs.

Get all the credit you can, but never
trust any one. By this process you can
speedily acquire a fortune.
Always put of ull Tomorrow what
you can do to-day, for by that means
you will have time TO think how TO 90
ibest, and with the least Inconvenience
to yourself.
Never do a man favor. You will
thus avoid being pestered with that
superlluity of false professions of eter-
nal friendship, gratitude, and all that
is balderdssh.
Take care of the cents and dollars
will take care of themselves, provided
you can get them. Never neglect to
pick up a dollar in preference TO a cent.
Don't pick up either if you can't find
them.
If you borrow any money never pay
it. You can console your conscience
by the belief that il the lender had
really needed it, you would not have
got it; ergo, this money was of no use
to him, and if you had not b'rrowed il,
he would have spent il foolishly.

In proclamation addressed Ito the
smoking public" by which We 10 not
understand that it is meant to be inti-
mated that the public is just now in a
smoking condition, but merely to con-
fine the address to those persons who
use cigars, an association of cigarmakers
have made it pretty plain that good
many of the cigars which are sold in
the shops are chemically favored coun-
terfeits, good many Others are un-
wholesome, and good many positively
nasty. AS the buyer and smoker OF
cigars Is left in pleasing uncertainty as
to what cigars are properly to be avoid
ed as counterfeit, which are unwhole-
same and which are nasty, the present
app. ars to be particularly good time
for a general swearing off," Wise
smokers will abandon the use of cigars
and ado pit the pipe instead, as the Scotch
man refused to drink wine, preferring z
whisky-the more, he said, because
there is nothing against it in Scripture.
Perhaps still wiser smokers will aban
don the habit altogether, as one which
is in itself uncleanly and unwholesome.

We fsneied during the greenback craze that we
were all getting rich. In 1873 we found out We
had been buying abroad eight hundred millions
more than we were selling. There nothing so
mysterious about national finances. The same
principles are involved 10 private finances. If a
farmer is buying more than be is selling from his
farm he is growing poorer, but if he is selling
more than he is buying, be is getting richer. This
idea holds good with trade of the country. Now
Things are changed. We are buying less abroad
and have balance in our favor Of six hundred
and thirty million dollars.

from Rome says although the Italia Ineden,a par
~ has been disowned not being representa-

sbsurdhy of provoking a conflict with Austria has
been fully confessed. the idea still exists in the
minds Of all Italians aud finds expression even in
the most modern journals that the National Geo.
graphical and Ethonographical Unity of Italy is
incomplete. The depreciation of the rapture with
Austria is due to the sense of weakness which
may pass away. Grand as the ideal may be, it
can only lead Italy into incsculsble dangers. All
her tff1rts and will long be required to regu-
late her financial difficulties and relieve her own
people from the immense oppressive burden of
taxation.
