IT WAS She'll turns out after all
that it was George Eliot MARY Ann Ev-
ans) that was married in London. Mr..
John Walter Cross, who married her, is an
Englishman, of highly respectable fami-
ly, who resides at Weybridge, in the coun-
ty of Surrey, near London, and is the SEN
ior partner of the banking firm Of Cross,
Benson & Co., in that city. His brother,
Mr.. Richard s. Cross, is banker of New
York. Mr.. Cross is tall, athletic man of
about forty-three years, and he was for
some years resident Of New York, and
one of the firm of Dennistown, Wood &
Co., bankers. He was never previously
married. His tastes are literary and his
information extensive, and, although he
is about twelve years the junior of his
bride, long acquaintance satisfies him
that in no one could he find a more congo
NAL companion. Each has comfortable
income. George Eliot is again described
as looking like a, horse" rather worn
simile as applied to her, and Miss Kate
Field says that she resembles horse in
that she has high cheek bones. and when
looking on her one is struck with the fact
that her capacity for work is almost un-
limited. She is about five feet three inch
es high. Her disposition is very lovable,
and she is much liked. She is the most
retiring and bashful woman I ever saw
She is generally abstracted; always think
ing, and her voice is no louder than a
whisper" She is about sixty years OF
age.

APPLE BLOSSOMS.

One Monday morning in May, when MI.
Castor, of the law firm of Castor & Brush,
entered his office, he found ON his desk a
bunch OF fragrant white flowers with that
delicate flush at the heart that makes ap-
pie blossoms SO irresistible.
''Apple blossoms, sir, !" his clerk said
~ spent Sunday in the country and brought
them down, thinking you would like to
see some.''
Mr.. Castor's preoccupied face lighted up
he said sect some water, will you, John?
We must keep them as fresh as we can. ]
shall want to take some home to my wife
tonight. There, that looks quite country
like, doesn't it, Clark?' arranging the
blossoms to advantage against the law
books and falling back little to look at
the effect.
Clark smiled, and Mr.. Castor went to
work at his law cases. But something was
the matter with HIM. His thoughts would
go wandering off to the green meadow by
the side Of the river, where Clark told him
he had broken the fragrant branch.
II WONDER he soliloquized, whether
it is anything like that meadow where
pshaw! what am I thinking OF? In case
of jectment-wonder if I could sing
s'Annie Laurie; used to know that tune. .
And he hummed softly to himself:
"Gave me her promise true"
Just as the door was thrown violently open
and John Edison, the most quarrelsome
man in New York, as his friends and enc.
mics both agreed, burst IN.
sWhat's the matter now, Mr.. Edson?"
asked Mr.. Castor, rising to offer his client
seat.
"Matter? Matter enough, sir! But if
he thinks I'm going to submit to be robbed
by his knavery, he'll find himself very
much mistaken! Ny brother, sir, my own
brother-think of that. slr!-is trying to
cheat me out of my share OF our paternsl
property want you to take steps imme-
diately to stop his proceedings. He threat
ems to bring in a bill against the estate
that will swallow up every cent-but what
is that? Apple blossoms! Where did you
get those?"
"Mr. Clark brought them down this
morning. Sweet, though rather out of
place in a lawyer Office, don't you think?''
II don't know, " said Mr.. Edison thought
fully, taking up the tumbler and smelling
the fragrant things. s'Where did these
grow?"
"Up in little country village in Con-
! necticut. Clark is from the country, you
know, and 1 think from his description it's
quite pretty place. Green meadows and
river, you know, and all that sort of thing.
But what do yeu want me to do?"
''Wait a minute, can't your" said Mr..
Edison, impatiently. ''You lawyers are
always in such a tearing hurry
Mr.. Castor raised his eyebrows but made
no answer to this rather inconsistent re-
mark, while Mr.. Edison leaned back in his
chair and looked at the apple blossoms. In
minute he started up and brushed his
hand across his eyes.

Give Them Now.


If you have gentle words and looks, my friends,
To spare for me-if you have tears to shed
That have suffered-keep them not, I pray,
Until hear not, see not, being dead.
If you have flowers to give-fair lily buds,
White roses, daisies (meadow-stars that be
Mine own dear namesakes)-let them smile and
make
The air, while yet breathe it, sweet for me.
For loving looks, though fraught with tenderness
And kindly tears, though they fall thick and fast
And words of praise, alas! can naught avail
To lift the shadows from a life that's past.
And rarest blossoms, what can they suffice,
offered to one who can no longer gaze
Upon their beauty Flowers in collins laid
Impart no sweetness to departed days.

passion for his employers second
daughter, Alice, called on her and shot
her, killing her instantly, Lindley
