that was offered her, might work the cleans
ing of past sin, and the saving of her soul.
1t lacked yet one day of the completion of
the week which she had appointed as the time
of probation but having once decided, she
wished no farther delay. She must tell Cy-
ril at once Of her resolve. So she wrote to
bid him come, and then began to prepare for
his coming, in sort Of fever of excitement
that sent the hot blood in torrent to her
cheeks, and made her heart beat with unnat-
ural rapidity. She opened trunk which had
remained long thrust aside in the dark recess
of closet unlocked it, and dragged to light
with trembling hands silk dress, made tor
her just before her marriage and never once
worn. 1t was colored, but of sober hue;
with black lace, it would not be too violent
change from the mourning she was about to
lay aside. Would it fit her? Yes, she had
changed so little in all these years. Her fig.
ure was as slight as in her girlish days, and
even more spare of flesh. She tried it on,
and found that it would fit without difficulty.
She chose some pearl ornaments, very simple
ones, that matched we'll with the quiet ash
color and black Then desire for something
brighter, more vivid, seized her. Since she
had made change, why not let it be COM
plete one? Why should she not appear
beautiful in her lovers eyes? Some fresh
flowers stood in a vase on her dressing table.
She chose large, rare velvet rose, Of glowing
crimson, and fastened it amid the lace rufies
at her throat. The effect was magical. That
vivid bit of color transformed her complete
ly. 1t We'd with the crimson in her cheeks,
and added to the brilliant fire of her eyes.
No longer marble statue, draped in the
symbols of profound woe, she stood living,
palpitating, glowing type of the new and
startling phase of existence into which she
had entered.

&C.," Miriam again found voice to utter.
And without another word, the old woman
departed.
Left alone, Lady Hepburn flung herself on
a lounge, and buried her face in its rich cush-
ions. Agonizing were the thoughts which
swept through her brain. Yet she did not
weep. Her eyes, when at length she raised
her head, were glittering and fearless, but the
fixed and rigid lines of her face told Of the
dreadful weight upon her heart.
"Can it be" she muttered in hollow tone,
"that my secret is indeed discovered at last ?
Does that miserable crone speak willingly, or
was it only a diabolical impulse which prompt
ed her to utter those words? 1t is impossible
that she should know-should be able to dis
cover what has been buried in secresy so
long! And yet-what if she has known it

I'll starve her, until she takes her oath never

Cyril with this dreadful doubt depressing
me. Shall I drag him, pure and noble as he
is, down into the pitfall of my misery and
disgrace?"
A ring at the front door bell-footsteps in
the hall below! Miriam starts, holds her
breath to listen. Yes, it is her lover. He
has come in obedience to her summons. And
to what has she summoned him What must
be the result of their interview? Must she
revoke her decision, and bid him leave her at
once and forever? Yes, it is her only course.
He loves her, and for that reason they must
part. He loves her, and she must not drag
him to pefdition. She will bid him Ay-Ay
from an atmosphere in which he can breathe
only dishonor, and forbid him ever to look
upon her fair and fatal face again.
A servant knocks at her door. My lady,
Mr.. Hope is down stairs"
Eyes,! she says, II am coming" With
hurried hand she smooths, before the mirror,
her disordered hair. Heavens, she thinks,
how haggard, how old she looks She descends
the stairs, reaches the parlor door, which
stands open, and as she meets his outstretch-
ed hands, his glowing, ardent gaze, all her
resolution fades away.

HIRE OF CoFFrNs. Moscow undertakers
drive thriving trade in the repair and hire
of cofins. Many Of the Muscovites purchase
their cohins during thei, lifetime, and keep
them at home, where they are used by careful
housewives as repositories for groceries and
other edible stores. The Russian rat, how.
ever, has sweet tooth, with which he indus
triously gnaws bis way into these grim recep-
tacles Of sugars, raisins and spices, doing such
damage to them in the course of his forays
that they are constantly in need Of repair.
The "hiring department" of the establish
ments above alluded to is chiefly supported
by widows of merchants and tradesmen, who
house the mortal remains of their "dear de-
parted" in cheap deal cof6ns, but hire for the
funeral ceremony magnificent "caskets," rich
ly decorated with velvet and gliding, in
which he plain wooden boxes actually des-
tined for interment are enclosed. At the
churchyard gate the accommodating under
taker takes back his splendid shell, which has
fulfilled its purpose by conferring distinction
upon the relict of its temporary occupant
during its transport through the public streets,
and the deceased is consigned to the grave
inexpensively. ..

THE REASON WHY.


Can anybody tell why, when Eve was
manufactured from one Of Adams ribs, a
hired girl wasn't made at the time to wait on
her?
We can, easily9 Because Adam never
came whining to Eve with ragged stocking
to be darned, collar string to be sewed on,
a glove to be mended, fright away, quick
noww Because he never read the newspaper
until the sun got down behind the palm trees;
and then stretched himself, yawning out,
"Aint supper most ready, my dear?"
He made the fire and hung over the tea
kettle himself, we'll venture, and pulled the
radishes, and peeled the bananas, and did ev-
erything else that he ought to! He milked
the COW and fed the chickens, and looked af-
ter the pigs himself He never brought home
half dozen to dinner, when Eve hadn't any
fresh pomegranates and the mango season
was over!
he never stayed out until eleven o'clock
to ward meeting" hurrahing for the out
and out candidate, and then scolding because
poor dear Eve was sitting up and crying in
side the gates. To be sure he acted rather
cowarJly about apple.gathering time, but
then that don't depreciate his general help
fulness about the garden He never played
billiards, nor drove fast horses, nor ever
choked Eve with cigar smoke. ..
He never loafed around corner groceries
while solitary Eve was rocking little Gains
cradle at home. In short, he didn't think
she was specially created for the purpose of
waiting on him, and wasn't under the i'm.
preston that it disgraced man to Tighten
his wife's cares little.
That's the reason that Eve did not need
hired girl, and we wish it was the reason that
none of her fair descendants did!

THE YORKTOWN CENTENNIAL.

The subcommittee of the joint Congress
sional committee on the Yorktown centennial
celebration, have agreed upon the following
programme of the ceremonies:
The guests of the National Government
will assemble at Washington October 1S, 1881,
and be reviewed there with the proper cere-
monies by Congressional Committee. The
committee will proceed with the invited guests
and such officials as may join them, to arrive
there on the morning of the 18th. Prepare
ton will be made during the morning for the
landing of troops, and the Grafton and poem
will be delivered at o'clock, p M, with such
accompanying services as the committee may
determine. These services will consist of
brief addresses of welcome by the Governor
of Virginia, and others; and, after an origi-
nal ode, the laying of the corner stone will
take place, with an address BY the President
of the United States, who will be invited to
preside on the occasion. The exercises will be
intenpersed with music by military bands
present, and with artillery salutes. On the
10th there will be grand parade Of all mil
itary organizations present on the battle
field and a review by the President of the
United States. The military exercises will
conclude with dress parade. A competent
army officer will be selected to take COM
mand Of the parade. It is hoped that a naval
review may be had on the 21st in the ada
cent waters The Governors of all the States
will be invited to be present with their mill
tary stats and such military organizations as
may wish to accompany them, and it is par.
ticularly desired that at least the thirteen
original States should provide for as imposing
representation as possible, by the presence
of their civil officers and military organiza-
tions. The committee would suggest, with
out presuming to give any directions in the
matter, that each State provide itself with
such means of transportation as will afford
accommodation while present at the cele=S
bration, and will enable it to take part in any 4
local services which may take place. Fhe \
details of the celebration will be arranged
hereafter, and with tia list Of invited guests,
will be published for general information.
At a meeting of the joint Congressional
committee on the celebration, the programme
of ceremonies prepared by the subcommittee,
as given above, was adopted. 1t was also
decided toinvite Hon. Robt. G. Winthrop,
of Massachusetts, to deliver the Grafton and
Jas. B. Hope, of Virginia, the poem.

The president of the American society

yention. in which success must mean
fame and fortune. The first is some
plan for producing electricity, without
loss, directly from burning coal, with

apparatus such as is now employed.
The worker in the second field must
find q plan to produce the soft light Of

practical and commercial success. Re-
cent progress has nearly solved this pro-
blem. The third great field for inven-
tion is the navigation Of the air.
Some times ago Prof. Forel, expert
menting with the albuminized paper of
photographers. reached the conclusion
that light cannot penetrate in water to
a greater depth than about 125 feet.
More recently. however, II. Asper has
exposed more sensitive Photographic
plates at a depth of 800 feet under wat
er, and the traces of light were distinct
ly left on the plates. Light must there
fore penetrate clear water at least 300
feet, while rays SO feeble as to escape
detection by any lei at our COM
mand-and yet SO powerful as to exert
an influence upon some forms of sub
aqueous life-may reach still greater
depths.
Concerning the moons effect on tides,
the astronomer royal for Ireland re-
Gently stated that, while the day is
gradually ..lengthening through lunar
action on tides, the earth reacts on the
moor and drives it away farther and
farther. Looking backward, the moon
must have been nearer and nearer the
earth. and at n epoch in the remote
ages Of the past-perhaps about &c ,000,-
600 of years ago-the two bodies must
have been very close together. Then
the day was but three hours long in
stead of twenty-four. At that distant
period, the earth rotated once every
three hours, and the moon revolved
with it in the same time. So near was
the moon that, If there had been oceans
in those days as now, the tides must
have been 215 TIM es as great as at the
present time; and, rising to an immense
height, would have swept over the
whole of England.
