I saw that it was made Of wax. The flower,
at least. The pot must be, | knew, the very
same.
1t was not my tulip, but its portrait from
life. I struck with my cane upon the table,
and digni6ed little girl ran in.
ITO whom does this belong?" Iasked.
The girl stared.
"It's hers" she said. "She makes 'em.
It's wax"
Eyes, yes," | said, remembering on the in
slant that wax flower. making was favorte
amusement of Helen's. Let me see her."
The girl ran away.
waited in intense anxiety, expecting my
darling, sure that I should see her, my heart
palpitating, my hands trembling. At the
sound of step upon the stair / started TO my
feet aud stood ready to clasp her to my arms,
but alas, onl ly stout, elderly female, with a
vulgar face, and coarse, red hair entered.
l shrank back as she stared at me in sur.
prise, and strove to compose myself.
II desire to see the lady who made this" l
said.
THAT'S me, sir. I dispose of 'en,," she an
swered, "What can do for you?
"You p faltered. II beg that you will
tell me from what that flower was copied, and
where you obtained the vase"
She looked at me in amazement.
Honestly" she said. "But, bless me,
you're not ILL.,"
No" said. "But that flower is all old
friend of mine, I will pay any sum for infor-
nation in regard to it"
The woman looked at me doubtfully.
l laid bill upon the table.
"Tell me all you know of the plant from
which this was copied" | said.
She smiled-her fingers touched the money.
"It's breaking faith" she said, "buE III
own up. didn't make it. l couldn't. But
you see lady does em that boards with me.
I was her servant once, and she's come down
to earn her living that way. That amt for
sale It's one she made for herself to keep
flower she was fond of before her eyes. But
she makes others-beauties- she sup
ports herself and her blind father by it. He's
very proud, and won't let it be known. So l
pretend it's me, and sell 'em."
My heart beat rapturously.
"Is she here? ?" l asked Gin this house p
The woman answered that they were, but
"would see no one"
"Give her this card, said "she Will see
me-"
And I waited once more in the little par
lor-ths time not in vain, for in a few mo-
ments the door opened once more, and l
clasped my Helen, as beautiful and charrning
as when I left her, to my bosom.
The tale is soon told. She loved me still,
and we we're married, and beside our happy
freside the old merchant ended his days in
peace and tranquility, and died blessing US.
And still upon stand in one of our apart
ments mods the waxen tulip in all it's golden
splendor; and when look upon it often
think how small price paid for it COM
pared to its worth, for who would have
thought that when in my extravaganza |
gave all that I possessed for flower, chat
through its means should have found at
last the joy and comfort that now crown my
days-that by its means my love should be
restored to me?

her, at the same time, piece of her own
handiwork, pretty match safe. Her mother
drew down her spectacles and exclaimed ::
"Mary, you can make match safe, but 1

REST.

Many a woman who cannot afford plenty of
help wears herself out, when she need not do
so, by adding unnecessary work. l like pref
ty things tucks, ruff es and embroidery are
great additions to garments; and so are pies,
buildings and preserves to the table; but if
the day is fully occupied in making plain gar
ments and preparing plain meals, the hours
that are needed for rest should not be en-
croached upon by the useless trimming of the
dress, and often unwholesome extras of the
repast. Work is good for every healthy per-
son, but rest is good also and we have minds
as we'll as bodies. We may make slaves Of
ourselves and that is no more right than
to make slaves of others. To be clean and
whole is duty to be wholesomel y fed is also
a duty; but 1 should like to preach to some
women know until they really feel that the
Gody is more than rament, that to keep strong
eyes, straight back and sweet temper, is
better for one who is a mother than to have
her children clad in elaborate garments,
which it takes hours to iron and flute. Good
material, perfect cleanliness, and plain hens,
or straight, fiat trimmings of some kind will
make any children look we'll dressed and in
tnelr season uesSeTI VI lIulI LdeLee duu uooo
more good than all the pies and puddings
that can be manufactured. Make your work
as easy as consistent with utter cleanliness
and tidness, aud save some hours for walk
ing with your children, for reading, talking
with your husband, and even for sitting Ut

Observation-Disclosures very often shows
the bright side of man. 1t brings out bis
happier nature, and shows of what stuff he
really is made. Somehow we feel as if we

The solemn, sober visage, like Sundays

be very silly or very profound, very cross or
very jolly. Let US hear him laugh, and we
can decipher him at once, and tell how bis
heart beats.
