I never shall have any bride but you %
ssWho is the Mrs. Bassett who came to m.
aunt's house this morning ?" gasped Matte
marveling at the hardihood which could thu
deny an absolute and apparent fact.
sOh!" said Harold, sis that what you
mean ? 1t is my brothers. wife. And she ant
her husband are putting up their hammock
and establishing their rustic tables under th'
pine trees back of the house, at this very mo
ment. Of course, I couldn't remain witt
them. Is not third person always de trol
when a young married couple are on theil
wedding trip 1? So I came here, and think
that heaven directed my footsteps; for thu
very last person in the world whom could
have expected to see was you, dear Matte %
tAnd YOU are not married % repeated Mat
tie, with great, overwhelming thrill of hap
piness at her heart.
"No ~ he answered, with emphasis.
'sAnd it was your brother who was really
to be married, when believed it was you
and broke nv heart over what I considered
your treachery and deceit % she pursued.
''Well, it certainly was not me ~ declared
Harold Bassett ''for now and here at your
feet, dearest, I speak the first declaration OF
love I ever spoke. love you, Matte %
have been wretched in your absence. Let me
take you back to Boston with me as my own
treasured wife %
So Matte, shy and beautiful as some droop-
ing wild-fower, was brought back to the farm
house, to be presented to the city bride and
her husband as Harold's engaged wife.
Mrs. Hardy Bassett put up her eyeglasses
and smiled condescendingly.

voice land so sweetly unsophisticated can
always tell these country rosebuds at the first
glance"
'sBut I'm not a country rosebud, said Mat
tie, crimsoning. 81 have only been here at
the farm for few weeks I am shop-girl,
Mrs. Bassett."
The bride started first, then simpered.
"How very romantic said she. Exactly like
a novel,"
Matte might almost have been vexed, if she
had not caught the suppressed laughter in
Harold's eyes.
And Aunt Rhoda declared that the Fox
farmhouse had never been solonsome as it was
after Matte went away to be grand city lady.
''But she has promised to come back every
summer" said Mrs. Fox. ''She says the old
farm will always be the dearest place in the
world to her. '-Helen Forrest Graues.

A FANCY SKETCH.
BY ELLSWORTH.

In the bright sunny morn OF lie,
Athwart my musings oft would glide
A form of beauty, love and grace,
The image of my spirit bride.
And when the lofty heights Of fame
Broke first in splendor on my view,
Again that peerless beauty came
OF fond affection, chaste and true.
And now, as then, my heart bounds high,
But not of one that is unreal,
For now I see in new form
My long cherished hearts ideal.
Yea, more by far in her see
Than the 1.-the frame and pretty face
I worshipped in the spirits form,
My youthful fancy loved to trace.
And vet in her see all charms
That oft threw DER me such spell,
I. bore me off in ecstasy,
On fancy's wings with her to dwell.
But now my friend is flesh and blood,
And sweeter than rose in May
Prettiest and best now on the earth,
Yet growing better every day.
A perfect Venus in her form,
OF precious love and symmetry,
Wherein there dwells a noble heart
That e'er o'erflows with sympathy;
A shining model fo- her sex,
Who by her spotless piety,
Arrays herself in shining grace,
Highly adorned with purity.
She lives life of poetry,
And every act Of it is love
That speaks directly to the heart,
AS would an angel from above;
And from her nimble fingers drops
Music like falling showers OF rain
Upon lake-pure and sweet
AS echoes from an Eolian strain.
The prototype of all that's good,
And one who scorns all treacherous arts,
But like the sun through every day,
New life and light to earth imparts;
And thus dispenses round her joy
Akin to that among the blest,
AS if, indeed. she came to earth
To give the weary-hearted rest.
But who can tell her priceless worth,
Or peerless beauty who portray?
Whose virtues battle art and skill
or every kind, both grave and gay;
And make all fear and love her too
When they behold her face and eyes,
That draw them to her as the sun
Lifts up esrth's vapors to the skies.
Nor has there ever on this globe
Once throbbed braver heart than hers,
Or breast so full of generous worth,
Or moved as quick by grief or tears;
Ever affectionate, kind and tender.
Stainless and free from every guile,
Giving aid where aid is needed,
Even to the vicious and the vile.
Her voice is musics best refrain,
And more melodious than the Nine,
SO none can turn from her away
An incarnation sn sublime.
Men in their hearts all for her yearn,
and from the best among the fair,
Turn quick away with gallant haste,
Her friendship and her love to share.
For her sweet smiles give zest to life
And a rainbow's hue to every scene,
Crowding each moment with such bliss,
Life glides away like morning dream.
o, were this earth but peopled DER
With just such beings as Evelyn,
Then pain and sorrow would take their fiigh
And heaven on earth would soon be seen!

TIE HUMAN HAIR.-Not less than 80 per
cent of the women and per cent. of the men
of this country wear more or less false hair.
The enormous consumption Of the artificial
and natural product suggests the fact, fearful
but true, that nine women out Of every ten
about the street, in the church, or on the cars,
charming or ugly to the line, have OH wig or
a weft, a bandeau or prepared net, bangs or
weaves arranged at the hair dresser's.
Some people think that blondes never grow
grayheaded. The fact is, one third Of the
white shreds may be mingled with such hair
and few will notice it. The same proportion
Of blOnde-headed people turn gray as those
with any other colored hair.
The proportion Of people who dye their hair
is also surprising. Some 20 per cent. are said
to do this Of course the greater proportion
Of these people are white-haired people. A
white head is often, though not always, a sign
of life of trouble.

SECRETS OF NEWSPAPER MEN.-There is
probably no newspaper man Of experience. in
the country, who does not hold secrets of i'm
portance in his mind, which, if made public,
would create sensation, but would stamp
him as being unreliable, and consequently un-
fit for his profession. The great race for pre-
cedence in the publication of news impels him
to do his utmost to outstrip his cotemporarles,
but a higher feeling, the dictate OF honor,
keeps sacred trusts reposed. Frequently
person would like to know the authorship OF
certain matters published, and whether his eff
forts are directed to pumping the managing
editor or the galley boy they alike fruitless.
Every co,npositor on paper, as rule, knows
the handwriting he sets up, but if any other
persons think they can learn it from him-well,
let them try it.-7o1e7o Telegram.

complacently, ''it's only Mel, Miss Moore, al
low me to make you acquainted with my son
Nelson. You didn't know that had such
great boy, now, did you ?"
"The mischief's done ~ cried Aunt Thank
full, sinking helplessly into chair. ''But,
then, what can't be cured must be endured ~
she added, philosophically, while Harrie blush
ed rosy, and Mel laughed merrily.
''You thought was a young lady, didn't
you, Miss Moore ?" said he coming over and
seating himself beside her, and entering into
conversation in an easy, and attractive way,
that quite won her lonely old heart.
Aunt Thankful proved true prophet in re-
gard to the mischief which those two happy
weeks had accomplished but she often re-
marks that since Harrie must marry somebody

glad that she chose sensible young man like

HOURS AND M1NUTEs.-Why is one hour
divided into 80 minutes and each minute into
go seconds ? Why not divide our time as we
do our money, by tens, counting ten, fifty, or
one hundred minutes to an hour? This ques-
tion was asked by an intelligent boy, and the
answer given himmay both interest and in
struct other young people. 1t is this: We
have sixty divisions on the dials of our clocks
and watches, because the old Greek astrono,,
mer, Hipparchus, who lived in the second
century before Christ, accepted the Babylon
ish system of reckoning time, that system
being sexigesilnal. The Babylonians were ac-
quainted with the decimal system, but for
common and practical purposes, was counted
by sossi and suri, the sossos, representing sixty
and the suros sixty times sixty, or thlrty-slx
hundred From Hipparchus that mode of
reckoning found it's way into the works OF
Ptolemy, about $50 A. D., and thence was
carried down the stream of science and civili-
zation, and found the way to dial-plates OF
clocks and watches. ....

THAT'S JUST ME.-Years ago into whole
sale grocery store in this city walked tall,
muscular man evidently fresh conner from
some backwoods town in Maine, or New
Hampshire. Accosting the first person, he
met, who happened to be the merchant him.
self, he asked
"You don't want to hire a man in your
store, do you ?"
"Well," said the merchant, "I don't know.
What can you do p
"Do ?" said the man, "I rather guess can
turn my hand to almost anything. What dc
you want done?''
ssWell, If I was to hire man, it would be
one that could lift we'll, a strong, wiry fellow
one, for instance, that could lift sack OF
coffee like that yonder and carry it across the
store and never lay it down. ..
"There, now, cap'n," said the countryman,
''that's just me. I can lift anything | can
hitch to. You can't suit me better. What
will you give man that suits you ?"
s'I'll tell you," said the merchant, 'f you
the store twice and never lay it down, will
hire you for one year at one hundred dollars
MONTH"
ssDone," said the stranger
By this time every clerk in the store had
gathered around and was waiting to join in
the laugh against the man, who threw the
sack across his shoulder with perfect ease,
and carrying it twice across the floor, went to
a large hook which was fastened to the wall
and hung it up, then turned to the merchant
and said:
"There, now, it may hang there till dooms.
day. shall never lay it down. What shall
I 60 about, mister Just give me plenty to
do and one hundred dollars month and it's
all right.''
The clerks broke into laugh, and the mer-
chant, discounted yet satisfied, kept his agree
ment, and to-day the green countryman is the
senior partner in the firm and worth mil

THE ADVANTAGES OF Two EYEs.-In an
swer to the question, "What is the use of hay
ing two eyes 20 the answer has been given,
''To have one left if the other is hurt" Much
as we may admire the sagacious foresight OF
this youthful psychologist, it will not be found
sufficient to rest contented with his ultimatum.
He had evidently not tried his skill to find how
Unexpectedly he would miss the inkstand while
endeavoring to dip his pen into it at arms
length, with one eye closed. He had not
thought of holding his fingers few inches
away from his face to find what part of the
wall it would hide from each eye in succession,
or how differently it would look when regard
ed from those two points of view separately,
how much thicker it would appear when
both eyes were open; how much more det-
nitely he could examine three sides OF 1t at
once; how much more definitely he could
Judge it's distance ; in word, how much more
comprehensive was the information given by
two eyes if used at the same moment. AS
suming that he knows exactly how to account
for the inversion of the retinal image and the
erect appearance of the object there pictured,
how our visual perceptions are only signs OF
what we momentarily feel OH the retina, signs
that generally represent, with fair degree OF
accuracy, but may sometimes represent almost
anything else on demand how, if the eyes be
healthy, we have no consciousness of possess
ing any retina at all, but instantly and uncon-
sciously refer every retinal sensation to some
external body whose existence we are obliged
to assume, unless there be special arguments
to convince us to the contrary granting all
this, our young physiologist has not thought of
inquiring how it is that, although two retinal
images are produced, we see but single object,
and this despite the fact that, photographs of
the same body simultaneously taken from diff
ferent standpoints, these two images are neces-
sarily dissimilar.-Popolar Science Monthly.

THE DESERVING POOR.-In my opinion,
the beggar who openly asks for and receives
charity is not so much to be pitied as those
who suffer every day without complaining
the time has been when they were masters OF
their wants and wishes, and they have too
much of their old pride remaining to solicit
assistance but they 60 struggling on, and are
every day forced to deny themselves some
want or comfort. There are homes in every
large city where the support depends upon the
women, and their only way of earning money
is with the needle. Hard is their struggle
working continuously, denying to their lives
every pleasure, and wasting their health and
strength, they are hardly able to gather togeth'
er enough money to meet expenses. The III
sufficiency of wages paid to women has much
of the sorrow and suffering of the world to
answer for. Often it will be found that these
girls have lived in happy and comfortable
homes, and this changed condition OF affairs is
wearing and killing to them they feel the
crushing weight of poverty, and long for the
companionship of which the change of fortune
has robbed them. They do not cry over their
misfortune or go out and court charity, but,
as long as strength and health is left, 60 strug-
Cling on, seeking to hide from the world their
Sorrow and suffering, like a proud man does
his deformity. Such people are deserving.
e'AA>'
without ostentation, could not offend, but
would be gladly received and let the sunshine
into many dreary hour.
QUEEN VICToRIA's AssAssIN.-The acquit'
tai of Mclean, the would-be assassin of Queen
Victoria, suggests two questions First, would
he have been acquitted had he killed the
Queen And second, would he have been ac-
quilted in this country if he had made such
an attempt upon the life of the President OF
the United States? Both of these questions
may well he seriously cogitated latter
by the friends Of popular government who
credit such governments with all the virtues
and none of the vices of monarchies and the
former by everybody. There is nothing else
so cruel as a mob; and it would seem that
there is no other country in the world in
which trials in the Courts are so much under
the control of public opinion-that is in
effect, of mobs-as this country.
