CHAPTER II.

business, in place where there were
fewer young men out of employment.
It was lengthy period after our part
ing that heard any detailed news of
him, and I shall give intervening adven-
lures in my own words.
In pleasant village on the banks of
the Ohio lived, at that time, lady of
the old school aristocracy. She was a
-wealthy-and descended from
one of the cavaliers who assisted to form
the first colony at jamestown. The re-
suit of these circumstances of birth and
money was painful. Mrs. Bland was so
terribly select-so exquisitely aristo-
cratic-that she could not find any So
ciety good enough for her. The little
town where she lived was like most other
country places, and contained no very
alarmingly exclusive circle. The doc
tor, the minister, and the principal of
the female seminary, with their families,
formed the most fashionable circle; but
they were eminently provincial, and
Mrs. Bland could not descend to their
level. The DOCTORS father had been a
blacksmith, the minister's wife ate with
her knife, and the head of the seminary
was poor Is one of those proverbially
impoverished birds-the turkeys of Job.
So the proud, handsome, high-bred,
polished, selfish, fascinating old lady
dwelt all alone with her fair daughter,
in the ancient house that had been in
habited by her branch of the family ever
since white faces were first reflected in
the Ohio River. Her daughter was as
proud, as handsome, as high bred, and
as fascinating as she had ever been, but
not so rigidly, frigidly conventional in
her ideas of social position. She fam
cied that q lady ought to have a heart,
and show it-that to be lady, one must
be a woman and something more. The
widow, on the contrary, thought that
the lady and the woman should have no
emotions or expressions in common. So
the mother and daughter had good
many pretty severe talks, which ended,
generally, in the submission of the
young girls sense to the matron's edu-
cational prejudices.
The house, which, as have said, was
quite old, began to need repairs, and
after some inward strug sles, Mrs. Bland

and rebuilding of some portions. Just
as the carpenters finished, ayoung man,
stranger newly arrived, opened q
paint shop on limited scale in the vii
1age. As the only painter employed by
the townsfolk lived at another place
some miles away, this newcomer re-
ceived considerable patronage, and Mrs.
Bland, having inspected his work, en-
gagged him to paint the new wainscoting
in the hall and dining-room of the old
house.
Flora Bland, with the instructive Gu
riosity that all young women have con-
corning the other sex-even to those in
dividuals who are far below them in the
social scale-looked at the house-painter
as she passed through the hall from her

compromise between conscience and
dignity. He had not forgotten the in
terest that Flora had taken in him, nor
that which she had aroused; and he
only wished for an opportunity to show
Mrs. Bland that there was a dignity
which coarse garments and unintellec-
tual pursuits could not tarnish.
The family with whom Flora lived
was one of the most respectable in Gin
cinnati; but it was notvery difficult for
Hal, well-to-do and cultivated as he
was, to become acquainted with them.
Flora remembered him-she blushed
when she heard his name-she bright
ened up and became vivacious when she
chatted with him of their first meetings
and conversations. In short, they be-
came intimate, far more intimate than
at first, and Mrs. Bland ceased to do
washing, while q new suit was opened
in her behalf by Hal for the recovery Of
her property.

water. line lower ana quicker eggs
sink in the water, the fresher they will
prove to be; or, put the tongue to the
large end of an egg, and If it feels warm
it is fresh.
A very nice French toast may be made
from slices of stale bread cut evenly.
Beat two eggs very light, and put to one
pint of sweet milk, and little salt,
Have a frying-pan or spider well heated
and buttered. Dip the bread in the egg
and milk, and fry light brown on both
sides. Send to the table hot, and eat
with butter and syrup, or with pudding
sauce of any kind.
A very excellent and ornamental dish
can be prepared in this way: Pare and
core, without breaking or splitting open,
some small-sized, tender, and juicy tart
apples. Boil them very gently, with
one lemon or one orange for every six
apples, till straw will pass clear through
them easily. Make q syrup, while the
apples are cooking, of half q pound of
white sugar for each pound of fruit.
When the syrup is ready, take the APP
pies up, unbroken, with the lemons or
oranges, and put into the syrup. Boil
gently till the apples look clear. Again
take up the fruit carefully, uubroken,
and place close together in dish. Then
put an oun Is or more of clarified isin-
glass to the syrup, and let it boil up.
Lay slice of lemon or orange ON each
apple, and pour the syrup over them.
This is pretty dish, and also very good.

New STYLE CHURCH. Rev. DIR. JEFF
ferey, formerly of Albany, is in Colo
RADIO, where his ministry is exceedingly
successful. He is to have new church
at Denver, which is to be quite q novel
affair. The church will have two stories;
the first, or basement floor, will be few
steps lower than the grade of the side
walk, and will contain lecture room,
several class and committee rooms, q
dining room and kitchen, wardrobe
rooms, a library room, and large infant
class room. The church proper, or
auditorium, is to be arranged amphithe-
ater like, the floor descending toward
the pulpit, baptistry and communion
stand, and the seats radiating from the
pulpit, thereby making it possible for
every one to see setted in the chairs not
only the minister but the communion
table and the baptistry. Over the lobby
and nowhere projecting over the audito-
rium-is the gallery, also descending to-
ward the pulpit and the seats again
radiating from the same, with the same
effect for all the seats in the gallery as
for those in the auditorium. The church
will seat 1000, and will cost $50, 900.

Or like the dainty flowers in May,
Or like the morning to the day,
Or like the sun, or like the shade,
Or like the gourd which Jonah had,
Even such is man, whose thread it spun,
Drawn out and out, and so is done.
The rose withers, the blossom bfasteth,
The flower fades, the morning hasteth,
The sun sets, the shadow flies,
The gourd consumes, the mamie dies.
Like the grass that's. newly sprung,
Or like the tale that's new begun,
Or like the bird that's here to-day,
Or like the pearled dew in May,
Or like the singing of the swan
Even such is man, who lives by breath,
Is here, now there in life and death.
The grass withers, the tale is ended,
The bird is flown, the dews assembled,
The hour is short, the span not long,.
The swan s near death-man's life is done
Like the bubble in the brook,
Or like glass, or like look,
Or like the shuttle in weaver's hand,
Or like the writing on the sand,
Or like thought or dream,
Or like gliding of the stream,
Even such man, who lives bv breath,
Is here, now there, in life or death.
The bubbles out, the brook forgot,
The shattle's flung, the writing blot,
The thought is past, the dream is gone,
The waters glide-man's work is done.

Or like that time 'twixt flood and ebb,
Or like the spiders tender web,
Or like race or like goal,
Or like the dealing of q dole,
Even such is man, whose brittle state
Is always subject unto fate.
The arrow shot, the food soon spent,
The time no time, the web soon rent,
The dole soon dealt-man's life is done.

Or like post that quick doth HE,
Or like quiver in song,
Or like journey three days long,
Orlike snow when summers gone.
