ssWhy. my dear. I can hardly advise you in this matter,n she said. "Your own heart should tell you what answer to give. Doyou think that you care for him more than for any other man? Can you leave all your friends here and go away so far with no companion but him, without wishing yourself at home again?"
 Annie had never read novel, and had evidently concerned herself very little with love-making.
 T think,' she replied calmly, that should like to teach in the school he mentions, and as for marrying, I have known him all my life, and may as well marry him as anybody else.p
 Itfwas plain to Mrs. Gray that no TO- mantle Idea of Stephen had ever troubled ner head, So that evening, Annie Bar lowe wrote her letter of acceptance to her far-away suitor, while at the same time Alice was making the acquainta nee of her future mother-in-law.

 that ifshe can but be furnished with

 riyulets of gold will begin to flow in. Tbercupon the resources of the family
 are concentrated on the prina donna of
 the future, whose voice in ninety-ninc cases out of hundred, so far from rival
 ing the stars of the opera, scarcely ena-
 b,es her, after hard toil and a world of trouble, temptation and mortifcation, to earn her own livelihood. A salient in stance in point is offered by the case of poor Mrs. Ehmann. who committed sui eide few days ago. Believing firmly in the genius of her husbands niece, she practiced the most painful economy to secure her the means of arriving at fame, and thus robbed herself, fruitless- ly, as it proved, of what should have been put away to secure a provision for her own declining days. The moral of this sad story is, that where the means of a family are very limited, money should not be spent on the cultivation of girls voice unless the most compe- tcnt authorities form the very highest estimate of it, and not even then if there be danger of actually jeopardizing the livelihood of any member of the family. There have been cases before now as sad as that of Mrs. Ehmann, due to mothers sacrificing their all to daughters who proved utter failures. A girl may sing charmingly to drawing-room who can no more draw an audience on the stage than the success of an amateur actor can be compared to thats of Mr. Jefferson. f

MEN do not see alike, whether they look at the moon or at a sea-serpent. There are men who declare that the moon as seen night before last was as big as a cart-wheel, and others who are confident that 1t was no larger than the rim of an ordinary hat. So some ofthe men who saw the sea monster off Sandy Hook declare the serpent was 300 feet long, and others who say it was not l5o feet long. Some say it was "very like a whale" and others say it was not at all like whale. To be an eyewitness Tn these exciteable days is to know less oi the affair claiming attention than the man who does not see it at all. The temptation of the average eyewitness to enlarge upon facts is so great as to unfit him tor duty as a chromcler ol events

Cyrus's Family Tree.


 On Monday the Royal Asiatic Society met for the first time after the recess. Sir Henry c. Rawlinson was in the chair Newly discovered Cylinder of Cyrus the Great, which he described as the most interesting historical record in the uni form character as yet brought to light. It is the Babylonian scrip, as was to have been expected from it's having been dis covered among the ruins of Birs Nim- roud, the acknowledged site of the an cient Bprsippa, of which city, as Sir Henry Rawiinson remarked, it was more surprising that it makes no mention. The cylindef is Q inches long by 34 inch es in diameter, and must have originally been covered with 45 long lines of text. The writing is very minute, and 1t is computed that the inscription would run to about I3O lines of the average length. Unfortunately the monument IS very badly injured, and the beginningis is who'll ly lost, with the exception of few scat tered signs. When it does begin to be lepible it is found to relate to the very moment of that great historical event. capture of Babylon by the founder of the Persian Universal Monarchy. Naboni- dus has abandoned his capital, which has fallen into the hands of Cyrus, though he is still struggling against his fate in Babylonia. But the grestly worshippers of the rising declare that the gods have rejected him for his impiety and for his scandal ous neglect of their temples. On the other hand, they extol the piety and the greatness and glory of Cyrus, whom the heavenly powers have raised up to ayenge their cause. The Guti, whose overthrow Sir Henry Rawlinson thinks was involved in that of the Medes, and people whose name is taken to be equivalent to Blackheads, reminding us of the negroes, are described as his sub iects. and the god Merodach has deliver ed King Naboniuus into his hands. Of Belshazzar no mention is discoverable, although it is conceivable that this may be due to the many and serious gaps in the inscription. The long introduction is followed by what purports to be the text of procamation issued by Cyrus upon the ta king of the city, and in which the King repeats in the first per son the principal allegations of the pre- amble. It is partly mutilated, but the beginning "I am Cyrus" with his gnea- olopy in full, and his description of him self as "King of Gyndia,"' etc, can be pretty clearly made out, and Sir Henry gave a translation of all that is legible on

south Carolina. Judicial Muddie.

Who will be Chief Justice is as inter- esting question in South Carolina as who shall be President is to other parts of the country. Chief Justice Willard, who now fills the office, was elected for the unexpired term of Judge Moses Judge Willard claims, however, that he s entitled to hold office fer full term rbf six years Should the present legis- hture disagree with him, as it probably will, and elect his successor, Judge Will lard will force the Judge-elect to obtain the office by quo uayranto. This would be done through the Supreme Court, but Judge Willard is an interested party and his Associate Justice, Melver, Is a candidate for the Chief Justiceship Therefore the Governor would have tc appoint Judges for this particular case and to cap the climax, Governor Simp' soa is himself q candidate for the Sn preme bench, to fill the vacancy to b, caused by Judge McIlyer's promotion lt is a strange muddle.

AFTER rHs RAIN.

. heard song on the moorland brown,
 When the days grew fair and long: Methought no voice in the noisy town
 Could sing so sweet song. IL was but herd boy, all alone-- a.sss
 Alone on the showery plain Who sang. with silver trumpet tone
 "The sunshine follows the rain.' My thoughts turn back to that April day, r As pace the busy street; But the brown, brown moor lies far away From the tread Of weary feet; Yet ever the song rings clear and loud, Over and over again. Above the din of the restless cloud.
 "'rhe sunshine follows the rain.p s "a ss a God knows it Is hard to fret and strive
 For the gold that soon is spent: It seems sometimes that the sinners thrive, While the saints are less content But He knows, too, that the clouds will part And the hidden path grow plain; His angels sing to the doubting heart. "The sunshine follows the rain"

The Yestments of the Catholic Church.
 Philade1phia Tines Hla

The church employs at the present day five different colors in her sacred yestments, viz. white, red, green, violet. and black. Up to the sixth century she rarely used any color but white, and iii the time of Pope Innocent ILL, there was no such color in use as violet for the, pontIii makes no mention of this color when he names the four employed in his day. The'vi5let, however was in troduced soon after this pontifiss book appeared IS evident from Durandus. who fiourished about the year llS0, for. in his great work entitleds' Rationale Divino- rum" violet IS specially mentioned
 White, being symbols of purity, inno- oence and glory, is, as a general rule. employed on the special feasts of our Lord, and the Blessed Virgin and on those of the angels, virgins, and con iessors. 1
 Red, the symbol of fortitude, is the color proper to Pentioost, in memory of the tongues of fire" it is also used on the feasts of the apostles and martyrs and on those of our Lords passions. lal Green, symbolic, of hope, is used as the color of the time from the octave of Epiphany to Septuaeesiina and from the octave of Pentieostto Advent.
 -Niolet, the penitentiai color lis ased on all occasions of public affliction aud sorrow, in times of fasting and penance, and 1n all those processions which do not immediately concern thc Blessed | Sacrament This color is ulso used on Ethe feast of the Holy 1nnocents on ac- count of the weepings heard through Jerusalem when they were massacred by order of Herod. But, should this feast fall on Sunday, the color Of the oc- caslon is red, as is also the color of the octave, from the fact that the lamenta- tons taken up are supposed to have ceased by this time. and the eighth day ! is always significant of beautitude and glory
 Black, from its gloomy appearance. and because 1t is the negation of all color, is used in masses and offices of the dead, and on Good Friday, in mem ory of the profound darkness that GOV cred the hand when our Lord was cru- cihed. , .tse-fss q,
 In ancient times it was customary with many churches to wear saffron colored vestments on this latter day, to recall to mind the bitter vindictiveness of the Jews in putting our Savior to death, saffron being indicative of bile For this same reason the traitor Judas in all medieval paintings, is depicted with halr shade of color between red and yellow. The Jews were obliged, up to recent date, to wear in many coun- tries, a yellow badge so that all may know them from the rest of the people.

 EluE French Republic has just tided
 safely over another ministerial crisis,
 and, although the troubles which caused
 it are by no means ended, yet the course
 of events has clearly demonstrated that no party is strong enough to rule by it's own power. The Republican party is composed of clements so inharmonious in character that they seem to agree snly Mpon the preservation of the Re- public as it stands, and beyond that they agree upon nothing. The Radicals are of all shades, from pure Democracy to wpd Socialism and Communism, while sae Conservatives range from the mod crate Republicans led by Grevy to the converts from monarchy who wish to as simulate the government to that of Eng land.

A pie, as the pie is known In this Ian of freedom, is purely an American dish, and is entitled to honor from the fact that it is one of the products of American art. Too often it has been said that America is too young to have produced anything in art worthp of veneration. but the pie is standing reiutation of the statement. No onewho has tasted pie in it's perfection will deny this. In New England, where pies may be said to be indigenous, there are yet living matrons who have inherited the house. wifely genius ot the Pilgrim Mothers They make pies as no other people can make them. There is no sense in the eater of incongruity of material, what ever the material may be, but the vari- ous condiments and daintiesare blended with such consummate art that the pie becomes q homogeneous whole. It IS true that the culinary genius Of the Knickerbockers, combined with the re- finements of foreign gastronomy, has created pies which are pre-eminently edible, but they are not the pies of New England, They are good, but they are pies with improvements, and the origin al pie of New England was not thing to be improved on.
 On the ather nand, there are the pies of commerce. Immense manufactures turn out machine-made pies by the mil lion, and ther is nothing worse than q pie of the baser sort: When the dainty care of snowy fingers and loving eyes is displaced by the hopper, the chopper and the steam-drivcn machine the result is a travesty-nota pie. It is this SO called pie, which is eagerly eaten from l ignorance of the better kind, that has | brought disgrace on the name of pie and yet even this, the pie of ignorance and not the pie of tradition, is purely an American affair. Americans are crlled pie-eaters, us they were once called Tan kees. in aerisiop. The Englishman who termed the Seventh regiment body o | pie eaters doubtless thought he was re | preaching them. He could not know any better, being an Englishman, unless
 he had been fortunate enough to find
 pie of the original and better sort sine, | his arrival in America. For, nlthougl
 England has her pies of various kinds
 they are not like America. The Eng | fish pie would be called q pudding il America. It has neither the proportionl
 nor the constituent parts of the pie as l grows and fiourishes in this country.

Unique Criticism on Mary Andersoii. 4

Mary Anderson is a marvel, and can take on more emotions in single evening than any of them. She is about six feet in night when in repose, but when her frame is charged with emo tions and she gets mad or excited, she seems to rise right up out of the stage and telescope until she is eighteen or nineteen feet high, and others on lhe stage look like dwarfs. She is the most verstile actress we ever sat ill front Of At times she would put on a sweet, lovely look, and you would have to be held by two persons 10 keep you from running on the stage and tell her that you loved her like a steam engine, and then she would put on dying look, and awild, scared, desperate expression 50 1.

IL was singular study when her breast got to heaying. She must have a suit of lungs like a blacksmith's bellows, and when in her excitement she would exhaust them, she would look so thin that you could trace her wishbone with the naked eyc but when, in her passion, her lungs became inflated, her bust rounded out and her dress fitted her like inc paper on the wall, and then all she lacked was Der own natural Mary Anderson smile. to mako the average man give Pacific railroad if she were hls. Again, in the matter of weeping, Miss Anderson holds | over all of them. It is said that Mary has never been in love, and knows noth- ! ing of that holy passion except what she has been told. If such is the case she has had the best teacher in the world. for her love making is the most perfect ever seen upon the stage. If we have said enough to show that we consider ! Mary Anderson the best on the stage, in our awkward way, than that is all righ.. That is what we started out to do.

TIE Duke of Cleveland has lately sYicted from their homes on his Devon Shire estates in England about l6o rarni- lies. They and their ancestors have oc- eupied their houses since the Norman conquest. Successive dukes have re- fused to repair them until they became rickety, and the present duke has con ,ceived his own method of reform. He ordered the families to leave, and began burning the tenements. The poor peo- pie had nowhere to go and were in great distress. Some gentlemen in the neigh iborhood remonstrated, but all they could get from the duke was permission that the evicted might have a month or two of grace to find other shelter.

'fnE removal, under military guard, of the ex-Ameer from Cabul, which is an- nounced in cable dispatch, may be ac- eepted with tolerable assurance of cer- tainty as the beginning of his journey to the scaffold. From the time of the first charges against him of treachery it has been quite self-evident that he was to be singled out as the victim of British ven geanee, whose punishment should fill the natives with terror and his removal from Cabul indicates that that purpose is adhered to.

TIE New York Stqr properly says that the capture of Cetewayo has not result ed in any lasting pacification of Zuzu- land. Secocoeni is restive; the sturdy Dutch colonists of the Transyaal are virtually in revolt, and altogether, the outlook at the Cape is not suspicious. The equalization of Cabul has not brought the belligerent hill tribes of Afghanistan into a submissive humor, and they lend willing ear to Russian emissaries.
