they will, for this is but a home gather

notes but one, the one who she know:

Pauline follows a moment later, they
speak together, then they glance at the
open door and the darkness beyond
they think that she is not there, and
Pauline turns as though to 90 out agair
probably to seek Elizabeth, so the
latter thinks-when some one of he1
visitors stops her on the way. John
Carr crosses the room to where pretty
girl sits, arrayed in white with pale
blue in her hair and about her dress
Elizabeth sighs. This same girl, she
has heard, is fond of John, although
society ut large has set her down to tho
second son, Edward, who, not being
rich, must needs marry a fortune with
his wife. Still, things have never gone
smoothly between the heiress and this
last, and while the men blame Edward
himself in the matter, the women say
that the fault is the girls own. in that
she cares more for John; which Eliza.
beth. viewing him with her eyes. thinks
is but natural after all. And Elizabeth
knows, rs she watches John Carr, that
hi. heart is hers alone now. She feels
proud too, just tor a little minute; then
passing her hand over her poor face. SO
as to assure herself that Is all a reality,
she says that the heart will soon have
to be given up, for that he who loved
her before will not love her now; and,
besides that, no word had passed be-
tween them, so that it will all be very
easy to forget and undo. Easy-when
she is suffering agony all the while!
But for this giving up, jealousy had had
no place within her; now she grudges
the smiles lie bestows upon this other,
thinking that when all is over, if she,
this other, should ever stand in the
place she has destined for herself, it will
be hard. very hard, to think kindly of
her. A little piece of holly falls from a
wreath close by. she picks it up, and
then the spirit Of the season comes back
to her once again.
Then she looks calmly on the rest.
She sees Edward Carr standing apart
gloomily watching the other two. She
wonders if he loves Julia Hammond.
She thinks he must or he would not look
so. and then she pities him and hopes
that all will yet be right for him in the

Standing Treat.

The social habit of drinking at bars.
where each member of party, having
been treated" by another, considers it
necessary to treat every other member,
has at last attracted the attention of law
makers. The Iowa Legisls ture has q
bill before it to abolish the custom and
make it a punishable offense; and, al
though such a proposition can never
become law, it is significant as show
ing public dislike of O custom which no
drinking man wants to be the first to
disregard. This habit of standing treat
is the cause of more physical and mental
discomfort than every other convivial
custom combined; respectable man
who feels the need of n glass of wine or
spirits-and there are hundreds of thou
sands of such men, in spite of all that
the temperance people say to the con-
rary-approaches a bar, and finds, per
haps, several acquaintance who are
drinking, and who invite him to join
them. When he has done 30, and drank
all he came for, his spirit of independ-
ence prompts him to return the invita-
ton, which is accepted by the others,
because it would seem discourteous to
refuse then those who have been treat
ed make haste to return the compliment
for fear of seeming mean, and the end
is that four or five men, each of whom
came for single glass of liquor, retire
with several times as much as they
needed or wanted. A sillier. habit does
not exist among sensible men. If a
mans reputation is so feeble that its ex-
istence depends upon the price of sew
eral glasses of liquor that nobody wants,
it is not worth saving. The man who
has not the moral courage to drink what
he wants, and only that, gets far more
injury than benefit from his rotations.

Ben Wade and the Girls.

Just before the vote on Impeachment
took place, one day, when everybody
expected Wade would soon be Presi
dent, ne was passing through the treas
ury, when bevy of girls who knew
Wade well sailed out of the offices and
bounced upon him in the corridor
Wade playfully hourished his cane al
them, calling out, "Clear the way clear
the way! 1 won't be stopped" The
girls, not in the least terrified, took
hold of him by the arms and held him q
prisoner, while one of them said:
"Now, Mr.. Wade, you must do us q
favor"
well, out with it," said the old Sen
ator, "for l am in great hurry"
"There is a vacancy, and we want
her promoted to it," said the speaker,
pointing to rather modest-lookin
little lady.

"The very best promotion that could
be made?"
"Yes, yes"
"Then why don't she get it?" in
quired the bluff Senator.
There was a pause, and then one of
the young ladies said:
!" Mr.. Spinner won't give it to her,
and we want you to help u.s."
"Weli, let me go, and will see about
it by-and- by"
But you must 60 at once, or it will
be too late; the place will probably be
filled o-day," sand the girls.
80! the u" cried Wade. "Let
me GO; I'll attend to it,"
And he did, and the young lady got
her promotion. Next Christmas pack
age came to Mr. W., neatly done up,
and on opening it he found it to con-
tain gown and elegantly embroidered
slippers. On card was written " To
the best of friends. From all of u.s."
And then followed number of initials.

One of the latest devices for the
amusement of the people is q puzzle
which goes by the name of "15." Fiji
teen square blocks, numbered from l
to ID, are placed in square box, capa-
BILE of holding sixteen squares, thus
leaving one square vacant. The
puzzle is to place the @15" out of it's
regular order, and then, by movement
of the blocks, work it into the proper
place. This puzzle originated with N.
p. Chapman, Postmaster at Oanastota,
Madison county. N. Y. 1t was his in
vention. The first one he made found
its way to this city, and fell into tie
hands of the wife OF an ex-Mayor, who
gave it to an invalid lady at Watch hill,
X. l., who was longing for something
with which to divert herself. The lady
lived at Hartford, CT, and, when she
returned home, the puzzle became the
subject of town talk. Finally it found
its way to Boston, Mass, and O manu-
featuring establishment began turning
them upon the market. Another es-
adjustment began little later to do
the same thing, when the manufacturers
No. / undertook to stop No. 2 from
producing the puzzle; but, as it was not
patented, it could not be done. At last
search was made for the inventor, and
he was found. Whether he parted with
his right we do lot know; but it is u
fact that the puzzle is being manufact-
ured at the rate of 1000 day. 1t has
been computed that the number of
possible combinations is 1907 .674,-
36S,000.
