Professional Beauty.

Edmund Yates has been exposing
the deceptive arts Of the English
professional beauty. He says that
she is always prepared for inspection,
though her visitor may be only some
intimate friend whose loving tongue
would be the first to proclaim that
which should be known. 1t needs
bat visit or two TO the favorite
milliners of the day to show how
complete is the mask worn by the
woman Of fashion. Where an ordi.
nary woman would fling aside her
corsets altogether, the professional
beauty puts on under her tea.gown
or wrapper another kind Of corset in
vented by considerable milliners-
unboned, certainly, but so made as to
produce the desired outline of figure,
The same principal is followed in a
hundred ways; among other things
the rouge-pot is not forgotten. When

she starts from her slumber to enter.
tain you and give you a fve-o'clock
cup of tea, you imagine it is the
siesta which she has INDUCED in
which makes her cheeks so charming
a color, and her eyes so bright. You
do not stay to argue it out; but you
imagine, being a man, that no rea'
sonable woman would make up. her
face in order to go to sleep by her
own drawing-room fire. You &C
away convinced that Amoret, at
least, does not paint. You forget
that Amoret was aware OF the posi-.
bility of your calling; that she knew
her dreamy figure and bright eyes
lit by the fre-names, would make il
a very pretty picture for your memo
ry; and, above all, that Amoret lives
only to be lovely. 1t is her profess.
ion; she has nothing else to do.

There is nothing more touching
and beautiful than age. The bent
form, the feeble lettering step, the
dimmod eye and the child.like con.
fidence Of the aged speak to every
heart, not dead to every human emo
ton with wonderful power and
pathos. We do not envy the feel
ings Of that person who can say a
sighting word TO or Of the aged Of
every condition in life, and whose
strong hand is not held out to them
at every rough corner and every mar
row crossing. Not many days since
we saw o bright and beautiful girl,
having almost the form and SEM

poor, decrepid old dame on the side.

girls bright eyes will yet be dim

shoulders bent with the weight Of
years and the burdens of life, and if
her life's sunset is cold and obscured
with clouds, it will be because she
herself, in the bloom of youth, pois-
oned the chalice with suicidal
hand. 0fall to be loved and cher
ished, and kindly cared for, the aged
are first deserving, for they have
borne their share of the burdens, and

they will be closed in an ecstasy Of
love. We grow old, but only that
we may rehabilitate ourselves with
the garments of an endless youth.

A Tragic Tale.

All his life he had toiled and saved
and scraped, and pulled every string
that had a dollar at the end of it,
And now all his hard.earned wealth
was gone and q great hateful, inter
est.eating mortgage spreads its black
wings over all that he owned and
loved on earth. He sank into q chat,
and, folding his arms upon the table
before him, bowed his gray head up.

"And did you have to mortgage the

quivering lips and glistening eyes.
"Oh, yes" said the man in hollow
tones, ooh, yes, and sold all my stock
in the Northern, and hypothetical
what l had in the Sixth street

"And was it enough?" she asked,
trembling with eagerness. "Was it
enough?"
"Not quite" he growled, and then,
as he saw the ghastly pallor of death

face, he added, "but the milliner let
me have it on ninety days time for

Men Who Win.

1t is not the men of great talents
often who do the great work of the
world. 1t is the men who have
trained their working powers the
best. The greatest engineer of Eng
land was man Of only medium tai
ents; but he was a giant in working.
He gave himself wholly to it when a
task was TO be done. If mountain
was to be pierced and a roadway
made through its heart; if an "im-
practicable and impossible" bridge
was to span chasm or valley, he
would shut himself up for few days
in his room, and scarcely eat or sleep
while he turned the matter over and
over in his mind. At the end he
would come out smiling, with his
plans all clearly laid and his hand
ready to set to work and carry them
out. Those who wish to be great
men and women, in the trucst sense,
must learn to be great workers, both
with brain and hand. The two must
go together, OR they will accomplish
nothing of importance to themselves
or the world. Train the working
power to its utmost capacity if you
desire TO make your mark in the age
in which you live.

INGINEEH MELVILLE.
The skeleton in the Closet.

WASHINGTON, d. c., September Is.
The publication of the domestic trou-
bles of Engineer Melville has caused
considerable gossip here, and OF course
public opinion is divided as to whom
the blame should attach. The friends
of the engineer allege that Mrs. Mel
ville's extravagant ideas are the found
alton of the dispute, and stories OF her
temper ard disposition are retailed.
His brother officers describe Engineer
Melville as being thoroughly domestic
in his tastes, and not inclined to gayety
or social gatherings, as has been charg-
ed: that this is not the first time that
Melville has left his wife, for some
years ago helabandoned her temporarl-
~ as a means of bringing her to a pro.
per realization of their position, but
this lesson failed to have salutary e.
feet and his life has been miserable in
consequence. Some go so far as to as.
sert that when he joined the lll-tated
Jeanette expedition he did it with
reckless disregard of what might be
his lot, but only sought peace from
family broils. When Engineer Mel
Vile left home he gave his wife
a sum of money to pay mortgage on
the Sharon Hill property, but upon
his return learned to his dismay that
the money had been expended In
another way, and this naturally anger
ed him. The 800 per month which
Melville had set aside for the mainte-
nance of his family during his absence
he considered sufficient, but he had not
been away month before Mrs. Mel
will applied for an increased allowance,
and was sustained by Commodore
Walker, now acting Secretary of the
Navy. Melville's friends interposed
at the time, and prevented an exposure
| of the skeleton in his closet, and it is
claimed that the knowledge of what
had TRANSFERRED while he was on his
dangerous mission is what induced
him to leave home Saturday. No one
who knows him credits the statement
that he cursed his wife, for he is con-
sidered too much of a gentleman to be
guilty of such an action. 1t is asserted
| that the sole issue is one of finance,
and that Engineer Melville is simply
DESTROYS of repeating former lesson,
and that the present difficulty will be
amicably arranged in few days. The
Navy Department had nothing to do
with the family troubles of Melville,
but when he requested further leave
of absence it was granted without any
reasons being asked or expected.
