die; and the angered lover saw the
feeble health of his lady-love give way
under the conflict of duty with feeling,
until she became indeed seriously i'll.
But the passionate Southerner was
not to have the woman of his heart
granted to his wishes. The sensibility
which could doom the gentle Ariana
Calvert to an early death could not per-
nit her to sacrifice family affection to
her own and her lovers happiness.
What bitter tears and faltering words
were exchanged in their parting none
can tell; but the miniatures, given
once as the fair tokens of union, each
still retained, to be sorrowful consola-
tion and reminder of lifelong separa-
tion.--Elizabeth Read, IN Harper's
Magazine for Apra.

A MARRIAGE IN TURKEsTAN.

Among the Turkomans in Central
Asia, who may fitly be styled the Co.
manches of the East, the ancient and
much discussed usage Of marriage by
capture" takes the form of singular
game, which is universally popular with
the tribes of the Lower Oxus. 1t is
known by the curious appellation of
kokburl," (green wolff name which
has never been satisfactorily accounted
for. The mode of playing it is as fol-
lows:
When Turkoman belle finds herself
embarrassed by a crowd of rival suitors,
her father settles the matter by as
sembling them all in convenient place
on the open steppe. He then brings
out his daughter, arrayed in the pomp
of Turkoman full dress, and setting her
upon swift horse, places in her hands
the carcass of a lamb or kid, well
creased from head to tail, with which
she instantly gallops away. The young
gentlemen follow her at full speed, and
endeavor to snatch the prize from her
hands. any one who can succeed in do
ing so being thereby entitled to consider
himself the happy man."
It sometimes happens, of course, that
when the cavalier who is the object Of
the young lady's secret preference
comes within arms length, she will
hold the kid in such way that he can
easily wrest it from her; but should
less favored suitor overtake her, she
grasps it with all her strength, and the
ill-starred lover gets nothing but good
roll in the sand for his pains.
When all is over, the father regales
the whole company with a sumptuous
feast of rice and mutton suet, for which
he afterward sends in a bill to his fu-
ture son-in-law, who is often anything
but fiattered by this expensive compli-
ment.

AN ORANGE-WRAPPING IN
FLORIDA.

Last night our party of tourists went
to an "orange-wrapping." A large
warehouse belonging to the Wilkinson
place was lighted up with candles placed
along the walls and all the g help'' of
the neighborhood was gathered. In
one corner of the room there were huge
boxes filled with oranges. They were
rugged with handles at each end, and it
took two men to bring one of them in.
On the opposite side of the room there
were long tables, behind which sat the
wrappers. The fruit was supplied to
them by boys, who carried it in bread
trays, putting tray to every three men.
Before each man was package of tis-
sue paper. By a dexterous movement.
an orange was enveloped in a leaf of
paper by one movement. As the fruit
was wrapped, it was dropped into an
other tray, which was carried to the
packers, who stood before a pile of
empty crates. Each orange was placed
in the crate separately, being packed in
close rows. A crate holds from 12O to
140 oranges, and sells here for about
So. The oranges are not brought di-
rect from the grove to the packing
house, but rest day OF two in the dry
ing-house. There they are spread over
lattice shelves, where they go through
a sweating" process before they are
ready for shipment. The scene in the
wral ping-house was a pretty one. The
golden fruit, piled in rich profusion
the men and boys laughing as they
handled it so rapidly the orderly
crates, with their tempting contents a
heap of pineapples in an odd corner,
filling the room with their exquisite
flavor hugh punches of bananas, with
just fleck of yellow here and there
amid the green clean looking lemons
almost as large as the oranges, heaped
off to themselves great citrons, with
their royal gold color; groups of boat
men and hunters, with their swarthy
faces and picturesque attire, lending a
hand wherever it was needed a negro
with a banjo strumming rude tunes to
which the crowd gave casual accompa-
niment the ladies watching curiously
and sampling an orange now and then
these were some of the elements that
made up the scene-the whole being
enlivened with the haste and hustle of
getting ready against the next days
boat, and having the fruit ready to go
out with the ship.-Atlantd Constitlt-

ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.

A lady who signs herself I" A Martyr
to Late Hours" offers the following
sensible suggestion to young men:
Dear gentlemen, between the ages of
eighteen and forty-fve, listen to few
words of gratuitous remarks. When
you make a social call of an evening on
young lady, go away at a reasonable
hour. Say you come at eight O'Clock,
an hour and half is certainly as long
as the most fascinating of you in con-
versation can, or rather ought, to de-
sire to use his charms. Two hours. in
deed, can be very pleasantly spent with
music, chess or other games, to lend
variety but, kind sirs, by no means
stay longer. Make shorter calls and
come oftener. A girl-that is a sensi-
bic, true-hearted girl-will enjoy it
better, and really value your acquaint-
ance more.
Just conceive the agony of a girl
who, well knowing the feeling of a
father and mother on the subject, hears
the clock strike ten, and yet must sit
on the edge of her chair in mortal ter
ror, lest papa should put his oft-repeated
threat INTO eXecution-that of coming
down and inviting the gentleman TO
breakfast. All, we girls understand
1t all by experience, and know what it
IS to dread the prognostic of displea-
sure. In such cases a sigh of relief
generally accompanies the closing of
the door behind the gallant, and one
don't get over the feeling of trouble till
safe in the arms of Morpheus. Even
then, sometimes the dreams are t1ou-
bled with some phantom of an angry
father and distressed-for all parties
mother; and all because a young man
will make longer call than he ought
to.
Now, young gentlemen friends, I'll
tell you what we girls will do. For an
hour and half we will be most ire
sistibly charming and fascinating then
beware, monosyllable responses will be
all you need expect And if, when the
limits shall have been passed, a start
ling query shall be heard coming down
stairs Isn't it time to close up ?''
you must consider it a righteous pun
ishment, and taking your hat, meekly
depart, sadder, and it is to be hoped
a wiser man. Do not get angry but
the next time you come, be careful to
keep within bounds.
We want to rise early these pleasant
mornings, and improve the "shining
hours )" but when forced to be up at
such unreasonable hours at night, ex-
hausted nature will speak, and, as a
natural consequence, with the utmost
speed in dressing, we can barely get
down to breakfast in time to escape a
reprimand from papa, who don't be-
Iieve in beauX-as though he never was
mild, reproving glance
from mamma, who understands a little
better her poor daughters feelings, but
still must disapprove outwardly, to
keep upappearances. And now, young
men, think about these things, and
lon't-for PHYS sake-don't throw
lown your paper with a pshaw but
the safe side of ten.

AN ECONOMICAL QUEEN. - The
Queen of the Belgians is practical
dressmaker and milliner. The other
day a lady music-teacher was giving a
lesson to the Princess Clementine,
the Queens daughter, and two tame
birds that happened to be in the music
room picked the teachers bonnet to
pieces. AS soon as the Queen noticed
the mischief her pets had committed,
she sent for her work. basket and repair
ed the damages so dexterously that the
teacher declared the bonnet was prettier
than before. An American lady would
have given the teacher new bonnet;
but as you see that is not the manner
of real Queens, who are as economical
as a Vanderbilt.-NetU York Star.

LOVE AND ANTs.-Below them lay
the dimpling lake, touched by the earli-
est breezes Of the spring time, and the
long shadows of the March afternoon
came creeping up the hill, upon whose
bold, bad brow they stood. He turned,
moved by a sudden impulse, and seized
her arrowy hand in both his own. Do

first bright days of dawning spring 1

ingly, g see you do say no more. !"
He dropped her hand, and with a hoi-
low, mocking laugh that told not one
tithe of the bitter despair that gnawed
at his blighted heart like canker
worm, he turned way, and hating the
world and weary of life, went and sat
down on an old rotten stump and waited
for the black ants to come out and eat
him Burlington HatUkeye.

And sweet as blossoms are girls of May;
But belong to the time midway
And so / rejoice in sunny spray

For years one of the familiar signs ON
Cincinnati streets has been an aged
beggar BY the name Of Margaret Parker.
No doubt of her utter poverty existed,
for scores OF benevolent persons had
visited her squalid rooms aud found her
shiyering with cold or eating scraps Of
loathsome food. One day last week
Margaret was told that she must move
out of her wretched apartment unless
she could pay her rent. That was a
manifest impossihility. and a man who
had before beiriended her hired wagon
aud prepared to help her to move. In
doing 50 he dropped a dllapidated
trunk, which burst and disclosed two
bags Of money, amounting. it is sup
posed. to 5000 or $1,000. The old
erone, who stood by, turned pale and
exclaimed: "What shall | do! Peo-
Pile know I've got money now, aud
I'll be murdered for it,"
