The Beauty's Choice.

Mrs. IfawIey's prettiest boarder was
the bit of a blonde girl named Florence
Castleton. 1t was u romantic name,
and she had q romantic history. Her
parents were dead, she was the heircss
of their property, and had guardian

and was very jealous of the daughters

King Charles spaniel, and maid under
her authority, and it was but short
time after her arrival before every young

subservient to her.
There were four young men in tho
house-Charley Childs, Fred Grove,
Leonard Martin, and Dick Manchester
all bright, agreeable, marriageble young
men, and all admirers of Florence
Castleton. Finally there was another,
but ho was too plain and bashful to be
admitted to tho elegant ranks of Miss
Castleton's galaxy of bcaux, and no ono

His name was David Atwood. He was

The others laughed at him --he was SO
shy, and awkward, and bashful. And
Florence Castleton often joined the
laugh, silvery; yet no ono offered him
any disrespect. Indeed, they all &C
knowledgod him to be "a good young
man, but so homely and awkward
Florence Castleton had a pretty voice
for singing, and used to play upon a
guitar,a beautiful one, inlaid with psArl,
which her guardian had given her.
One evening, after David Atwood had
resided in the house about six weeks
she brought it down into the parlor and
sat down to play.

LINES Nv AN ALBUM.
BY BkRT lIARrE.

Sweet Mary, maid of San Andrcas,
Upon her natal day
Procured an album, double Gilt,
Entitled "The bouquet
But what its purpose was, beyond
It's name she could not guess
And 30 between IFS gitded leaves
The flower he gave she'd press.
Yet blame her not, poetic youth, g'",''
For deem too great the wrong,
She knew not IIawthorae'e blossa, nor loved
MaGauley's flowers of soaE,
Her hymn book was the total sum
Of her poetic lore;
And, having read through d., Watts,
She did not ask for Moore. ~
But when she opcd her book again,
II 0w great was her surprise
TO find the leaves on either side,
Stained deep with crimson dyes.
And that fair rose, his latest gift,
a shapcless form she views
Its fragrance Sped It's beauty fed
And vanished all its dcws.
Oh, Mary, maid of San Androas,
Too sad was your mistake
Yet, one, methinks. that wiser folks
Are very apt TO make.
Who twixt these leaves would fix the shapes
That love and truth assume,
viii find they keep, like Mary's rose,
The stain and not the bloom

CURsING CONKLINe.
Republican Authority Denounces and
Ridieules the New York Senator.

New York, Sept. 20 Senator ..Conkling's
speech has stirred up hornets nest among
the Republicans. The Evening Post, the
Republican paper in New York, in leading
editorial tonight deuounces Conklng as in
different to tho success of the Chicago candi
date, and as having resolved with a satanic
ambition, to ruin the party he cannot rule.
1t says that "the speech was an insidious rs.
saut upon the Republican party, calculated
TO reptl honest men, and that its only object
was to revive odious and malignant sectional
ism by tie Indictment Of whole people,
which Burke thought impossible, in the low
est spirit Of n carpet-bagger and dems-
gogue."
The Post ridicules Conkling's argument
that, although the southis only one.seventh
of the whole people, it will ntrol the rest
o. the country, and says that the scare. crow
disappears when it is remembered that the
Democratic candidate can only succeed by
the votes of majority of the great northern
states. 1t includes the bugaboo of the solid
south; asserts that the interests of the DO der
states lie with the north, not the south, and
quotes Gsrfeld's declaration that any csndi-
date running on sectional issues must fail.
The Post article concludes by saying that
Conklings "illiudged, illogical and malicious
speech will drive independent voters away
from the Republican party"

Rosentield d Rond's supply Depot
No time in the history of Dallas has there
been such variety of delicacies procured as
can now be found in this large establishment
The proprietors are making every effort to
make theirs the leading retail grocery store
in Dallas, and judging from tho large amount
of groceries they daily distribute all over tho
city, their efforts will soon be crowned with
success. Heretofore ladies es general thing
have stunned grocery stores and not without
cause, as the average grocery men make
whisky shops out Of their places. But these
gentlemen have determined never to handle
drop of spirits. Ladies and children are
therefore visiting this store as often as they
do dry goods houses. They aim to keep no
goods Of inferior quality, and guarantee all
goods coming from them. They have but
one price for their retail, and one for the
wholesale trade, and although competing
houses may sometimes for m object, cut
under their prices, customers have found,
in the long run, that where they bought at
less than their figures, they have found dit
ference in quality or quantity, which ex-
planned the apparent diff renee in prices.
They have secured space in the local
columns of this paper where they publish
new price list every week, showing con-
sumers the prices at which first class goods
could be bought.
