A Modern Encch Arden.

Loren Perkins, a little upwards of
five years ago, was resident Of Rut-
land, Vermont, and had wife and two
children. He committed q crime for
which he was sentenced to a term Of
five years in Windsor prison. After
his liberation, last week, he Immediate
ly went to see his family at their old
home. He learned from an acquaint-
ancc that Mrs. Perkins had removed to
Fort Edward, and further that she had
become the wife of man named Fish
er. This news was not gratifying to
Perkins, but he resolved to make the
best of the circumstances. He pur-
chased some little delicacies and keep
sakes for the children and started for
Fort Edward, where he arrived on
Monday and forthwith proceeded to
make search for his late partner
With the aid of some gentlemen he
was successful. She who at one time
was Mrs. Perkins was now apparently
happy-as the wife of Mr.. Fisher, a rep
utable day laborer. Perkins visited
the house, where he was agreeable en-
tertained by Mr.. and Mrs. Fisher and
the lady's mother. After short stay,
Perkins, not wishing to disturb the
harmony Of the household, bid all an
affectionate farewell and started for
Fairhaven, VT, where he learned that
his son, who is now eighteen years of
age, is employed. Here is an authen-
tic example of self-sacrifice. Perkins
home was broken up, but he was con-
scious that any display of feeling on
his part might result in domestic in
felicity in the Fisher domicile.

Affirm whcre'er my rhyme may go
Whatever things be sweet or iair
Love makes them so,
Whether II be tho lullablcs
That charm to rest the nursling bird,
Or tho sweet confidence Of sighs
Aud bushes, made without word.
Whether the dazzling and tho flush
or soflly sumptuous garden bowers,
Or by some cabin door, bush
or ragged flowers.
IT'S not the wide phylactcry,
Nor stubborn fast, nor stated prayers,
That makes us saints we judge the tree

And when man can live apart
From works, on thcologlc trust,

Secured Her Rights,

There Is one woman In Burmah who
will have her rights, peacefully II she
can, iorclbly II she must, london
Vanity Fair SAYS
King Thecbaw of Burmah, the big
gest bully and brute in the world, has
at last found his match In u woman
who can assert the rights OF her SEX
The queen was recently confined Of her
third child, which proved q daughter,
Now King Thecbaw desires to have an
heir to the throne aud he resolved
therefore, like Napoleon, to provide
himself with another wife, Indeed,
he bettered Napoleon, for he took two
new wives, one Of them tho grand
daughter of the Kan-Pat Mcnghcc and
the other the daughter of minor
official.
The queen soon heard Of this, aud as
she was unable to go to tho king, she
sent him n pcrcmptory order to put
away his new wives at once. King
Thecbaw replied that he shonld do
nothing of the kind-that he was tired
Of her majesty inasmuch as she only
presented him with daughters, and that
he was determined to free himself OF
her control and to be real king
Seven or eight days were passed in
angry messages, but at the end Of that
time the queen lei, her apartments and
went to those of the king. Arrived
there she seized the monarch, carried
him off TO her own rooms and locked
him up with the baby. She then went
off and attended to affairs of state, her
first act being to cast the two new wives
into prison and to have them heavily
manacled.

They do. 1t was formerly suppos-

No, only the married ones are bald.

THEIR TWO SUMMERlNGS.

. Rose Ellis, with eyes as blue us the
June sky that was smiling down on the
fair earth that lovely morning, and
hair as palcly gold as the first rays of
early sunshine, and face as pink and
fair us ever maidcns face was. And
Vera, her elder sister, tall, with beauti-
full, serious, gray eyes under jetty
brows, with lustrous jet-black hair, all
waves and ripplcs from her broad, low
forehead to the Grccian coil low at the
back of her classic hcad-the two of
them, sisters, standing under the big
chestnut tree at the lane gate, reading
a letter, that one of the farm hands had
just brought from the village post-ofice,
along with bundle of weekly papers
"a letter whose envelope was heavily
monogrammed and crested, that was
written on faintly-perfumed, cream
white paper, in a square, beautiful
hand, and signed Cornelia Caryl, and
dated Newport, day before.
Roses blue eyes danced as she read
it, and she clasped her hands in little
ccsatic way she was in the habit of
doing when she was pleased.
"Vera, it is just too splendid for
anything! Aunt Cornelia is just too
good, isn't she? OF course it will be
you-it should be you! When shall
you go? Only think-a month at
Newport"
Vera folded the letter slowly up
again, smile coming to her royalty
beautiful mouth.
81 am not sure it is l who will ac-
cept auntie's kind invitation. You
haven't been away from the farm for
three years, Rose-not since we all
spent the delicious week in the Cats
kills. am very sure it is you who
will go to auntie's cottage at Newport,
dear. 1 hope So"
Rose laughed gaily.
"What an idea, Vera! Indeed, l
shall not even think of such nonsense.
You're the beauty of the family; you
will 60 and create a sensation, and
come home with photograph of my
future brother-in-law in your pocket
handsome, wealthy, elegant and-a
German count, or French duke, or
an English lord, just as like as not.
Maybe q Russian prince OF course
you'll go, my Princess Vera!"
Vera laughed-she could not help it
AT the comical little way in which
Rose salaamed to her-veritably
princess by royal light of loveliness,
and grace, and womanliness,
'Houor bright, Rose, wouldn't you
like to gos"
The serious gray eyes looked in the
sunny blue eyes, and then a tiney flush
began to warm to deeper lusciousness
on the wild-rose cheeks.
''rhat's not fair, Vera. That S
what | should emphatically call "A
leading question. Do you want to 60,
too!"
"And under what head do you place
your inquiry, l should like to knowl"
Rose tossed her pretty head imperi-
ously, with light laugh.
81 won't be catechised, but Aunt
Cornelia's letter must be answered, all
the same, by return mail according to
request. We will decide whether you
are to go Or not-this way"
She stopped and picked up shining
little pebble from the edge of the flower
bed, and went through some myster-
ious motions with her hands behind

Monday evenings Stalwart young
representative of Chittcnden, was on
Center street inquiring the way to
Murphy's saloon. At the corner Of
Wales street he saw an excellent OPP
portunity to be funny, and he seized it.
A dapper little man was coming down
Center street with dapper little dog.
This was the brawny young farmers
opportunity, and with the idea of show
ing the city folks how smart he was,
and with n boot larger than the dog,
he raised the little animal away out
toward the center of the street. He
was just organizing very elaborate
grin, when something collided with his
head just back of his right ear, and
turning q somersault he landed in the
gutter in the midst of ten million little
stars, which danced before his eyes,
With a series of howls that drowned
the yelps of the dog, and frantically
clasping his head, he started on run
up the middle of the street towards
Murphy's saloon, while the little man
picked up his dog, and strolled down
Center street. Perhaps the Stalwart
Chittendonian will not kick another
dog when next he comes to town.
The police courts have been very
quiet, only one or two muddled va
grants have been picked up during the
