Reginald de Courcey's Death.
elias he seen her foot?"

l1t6 ITO oc0u ucI lOOts
Reginald de Courcey, eighth Duke OF
Wabash, snnote his corselet fiercely with
the trusty blade that had cloven in twain
the skull of many an enemy, and looked
tenderly upon his wife, the Lady Agatha
McMurty, as they stood meath the
shadow of a glove which the wife had
carelessly left on the lawn. by the
Dukes side was his faithful steed, Step
and-fetch-lt, in whose veins flowed the
blood of the swift coursers of the desert
the Arabian.

Agatha, whether that of which you
speak hath indeed ia en- place, but on her
return from the tourney at Coshocton.

to closely question the maid regarding
the matter. Truly, it is of much mo-
ment whether this young knight, who
cometh from beyond the Little Miami,
doth we'd our daughter"
II prithee do not speak of that" said
Lord Reginald, hastily; ''and yet thou
right. An Rupert make not the lass his
bride, methinks it will be many a day
ere another enc so guileless heaveth in
sight. What's o'clock"
'rhree forty five, replied the duchess,
looking at the shadows which the sun
cast upon the wood shed.
''There is yet time to warn her." said
Reginald; "but with another horse than
thou, my pet" he added, stroking the
glossy neck of the Arabian courser, ''the
task were indeed hopeless one."
Then haste thee" cried Agatha.
close not moment of the time that is
SO precious. Fly with all thy speed and
will offer up prayers that thy journey
may be swift and sure"
Leaping upon his horse the duke sped
swiftly from out the court yard, the
clatter of hoof making glad music in the
ears of his devoted wife. Suddenly she
heard the horse give mighty snort and
stop, and there came upon the summer
breeze that was kissing the locust blol.
SONS over her head dull thud. Run
ming with fear-hastened feet across the
portucullis the duchess saw the alright
ed animal standing in front of some
huge object, while farther on lay the
corpse of her husband, the cold, white
face looking up to heaven as if in mute
appeal for pity. In an instant she was
by his side, but the kisses that she
pre- ssed upon the pallad lips Of the man
she loved so we'll were unfelt. and the
words she spoke brought no response.
Then, going to the horse, she took him
kindly by the brible.
IT do not blame you ,Step-and-fetch.it,"
she said, "for there are some things
which even an Arab steed may not leap
over" And hiding her face in her
apron, the duchess wept bitterly.

A Mine Namel After His Girl.

A young and enthusiastic prospector
returned to the city recently from Wood
river looking bronzed and weather-beat-
en-. He hadn't proceeded far on his way
home before meeting his sweetheart
who was going to the depot to meet him.
"Why, George, you look just like an
old smoked ham," were the endearing
words that greeted him. George had
been living on ham for the last two
months, and when his girl referred to
that article he didn't know but what
there Was something hoggish- looking
about him.
Nothing mean or hoggish about me,
Jane; bet your bangs on that. Found q
mine up in Wood river and named it
Jane after you."
"What are you giving me, dear
George? What do you take me for?"
Fact, Jane; named it after you"
"How jealous that1l make the other
girls in the Fifteenth Ward! Won't
their bangs curl down their for'ead?
Won't the green-eyed monster rankle in
their bosarams though? Oh. you're SO
nice. George" And Jane laughed all
over and insisted on carrying his blank
cts and the grip sack.
"That's all right, Jane. carry this over
coat, too"
"How did you come to name the mine
after me, you too-too tootsy Georgie?"
because it didn't amount TO anything.
Nothing in it, Jane"
When the grip sack came down ON his
head George thought . snow-slide had
struck him, and he swears he will never
name another mine after . Salt Lake

The True Woman.

Charles Reade was the first novelist to
invent the True Woman. That is to say,
he was the first who found her. There
have been plenty of sweet and charming
women in stories-the patient, loving
Amelia; the bouncing country girl ,Sophy
Western; the graceful and "gracieuses'
ladies of Scott; thu pretty dummies OF
Dickens; the insipid sweetness of Thack-
cray; the proper middle-class Tor upper
CLASSY girl of Trollope; the converse
tional girl of the better lady novelist.
There have also been disagreeable girls,
especially the bad-style, detestable girl
of the "worser" lady novelists; but
Reade-the ..trouvereS-has found the
real woman. You will meet her on
every page of all his novels. What is
she? My friends, Columbus egg was
not simpler. She is just exactly like a
man, like ourselves, but with certain
womanly tendencies. Like ourselves,
she ardently desires love. She knows
that it is best-the absolutely best
thing the world has to give; that we are
all born for love-man and woman alike;
that to lack this consummate and SUI
preme blessing is to lose the best part of
life. Since she desires above all things
to be wooed, and is forbidden to WOO on
her own account, she conceals her own
thoughts, yet, from her own experience
in hiding, she is quick at reading the
thoughts of others. She is satisfied
with nothing less than what she herself
gives, which is all herself. Her re-
serve leads her, in the lower natures, to
deceit and falsehood. Her devotion,
which is part of her nature, leads
her-also in the lower natures-to sus-
picion and jealousy. She is always in
the house, and therefore her mind is apt
to run in narrow grooves. The prodi-
gality and wastefulness of men are
things beyond her understanding or
patience. She is IMMERSED in affairs and
therefore comprehends nothing of
compromise She is generally ill-edu.
Gated, and therefore is incapable Of form
ing a Judgment; hence she is carried
away by every wind of doctrine; as, for
instance, in matters ecclesiastical, know
ing nothing of the Early Church or its
history, she believes the poor little
Ritualist curate, who knows, indeed, no
more than herself; or, in Art, where, for
want of standard, she is led astray by
every fad and fashion of the day, and
worships sad faced fatnesses with; or in
dress where, her taste being unculti-
yated, she puts on whatever is most
hideous and unbecoming, provided it 10
worn by everybody else.
This is the woman whom Charles
Reade presents to us; she is not, at all
events, insipid; no real women are; il
she is artificial, she shows the real
woman beneath. What he loves most is
the woman whom fashion has not spoiled
the true, genuine woman, with her
natural passion, her jealousy, her de-
votion, her love of admiration, her fidel-
ity, her righteous wrath, her maternal
ferocity, her narrow faith, her shrewd.
ness, even her sudacity of falsehood
when that can serve her purpose, and
her perfect abnegation of self.

A weman's Hair.

The Countess of Suffolk had married
Mr.. Howard, and they were both so poor
that they took resolution Of going to
Hanover, before the death of Queen
Anna, in order to pay their court TO the

poverty that having some friends to din
