A European correspondent tells quite
an interesting little story about General
Grants Arabian steeds which were pre-
scented to him BY the Sultan Of Turkey:
When the horses were delivered to the
American official who was dsputed to
represent General Grant he found that
through some h%ocuspocus Of the m
pioyes Of the Sultan's stables o OF the
horses selected had been exchanged for
. dismal beast. being lame and generally
unsound. Our c~ountrymsn did not wish
to forward 90 wr.tched an animal to the
United States, yet what was to be done ?
To refuse the Sultan's gilt would have
been q deadly insult. and. besides, he
had NO right to do anything OF the
kind; while to find fault with 1t would
have been dsadlisr. Finally . bright
idsa struck him. The unsound horse
happened to DO black. so he sent for the
high and mighty Turkish official who
had the matter In charge. and regretfully
informed him that. though General
Grant was enchanted With the two noble
steeds that were accorded hin by the
maRuincsncs Of the Sultan, he would,
unfortunately. be unable to use the black
one, as horses OF that color were only
employed for funerals in America. and
to offer or accept one as q gilt was held
to be an exceedingly bad omen In that
country. The courteous Turk was pro-
fuse in civilities and apologies. the
black horse was taken away. and .
sound and handsome animal Of another
color was sent In its stead.

True to the Last.

Daisy Shoemaker, the pretty daughter
Of a farmer living near Richmond, Va,
had agreed to elope with Westland Pierce,
but when the critical moment arrived
she feared to transgress her parents
wishes, and would not 60 to the rendez-
vous. Her sister Jane, two years her
senior, begged her TO keep her trust with
her lover, but all in vain. sfWell, il you
don't keep your word with West Pierce,
I'll do it for you" she said, and indig-
nsntly leaving her sister, she got into
the buggy and dashed of, despite
the screams of her sister. Miss Jane
reached the waiting place; explanations
were made; she said she was willing to
take her sisters place. The lover,
touched by her pluck and captivated by
her determination not to let the plan fall
through, did actually marry her-so the
story goes.

That is Just its fault. 1t looks SO clean,

q waste Of labor. 1t is only at great per-
sonal inconvenience that one can look

TO tint it in accordance with the room,

houses. What hand-painting we can

She had known him for long years, but
never had she heard such earnestness,
such real passion, in his tones.
1t was as though his very soul hung on
her answer. Strange, she had never
dreampt his love for her was more than
friendship, such as she had felt for him.
A tinge Of color crept into her cheek.

''No. Iwant all the truth. Is your
heart mine-all mine, so that, to tear me
from it, would be TO tear it asunder?"
"No, Earl II it were for your happi-
ness or mine, could give up my lover
and still hold my friend and cousin.
He seized her hand and carried it to his
lips more feryently than he had done
even in the moment of his courtship.
Then, taking the fan from his pocket, he
unfolded it, and told her all the tale Of
his summer romance.
II thought ! could forget her." he
said, in ending, "and that when the
snow fell and did not return to her, she
would cease to remember me; but see,
Helen! She still remembers, and l still

she forgives you, make her your wife. II

may be, bring her to me. She shall be

Lena was exhausted after her sleep
less night, and, throwing herself on the
lounge in the sitting-room Of her kind
hostess, she had fallen into dreamless
slumber.
Long Earl Lysle stood and watched
her, until the magnetism Of his glance
aroused her. She thought that she was
dreaming Of the fan; but as he stopped
and took her in his arms, she knew that
| it was reality
She listened silently while he told her
all-eyen his struggle for forgetfnlness
and his ignorance Of his own heart and
| its demands. She heard that she had
sent the paper with the news Of he's
fathers death to the wrong address, thai
he had known nothing Of the long
lonely winter to which had succeeded
this wonderful, glorious summer-tims of
hope.
Poor child She had no room foy
pride in the heart SO filed by his image.
She forgot that there was soro need for
forgiveness.
He loved her now! OF that she was
assured; and after all, the snow had only
lain upon the ground to warm the earth,
and foster the rich, sweet violets, which
now bloomed and clustered at her feet.
