WHITE SIMPLICITY"
EY AGNES JAMES.

Shelton Park, the stately mansion of Sir
Peter and Lady Shelton, is full Of guests.
The latest arrived is Sir Walter Wynne,
handsome young fellow, with fine estate,
who follows his aunt, the widow of his uncIe,
from whom he had inherited his title and
estate: lady to whom he is very much at
tached, and who has been at Shelton Park
for a fortnight already.
These two find themselves alone in the
drawing-room just before dinner.
= "Who are here, Aunt Bess?" the young
fellow is asking.
Well, first of all, General and Mrs. Fan
Shave, and that very pretty flame of yours,
their daughter, Mistress Blanche"
{" Is she fame of mine? Sir Walter asks
laughing.
a thought so. Very well, then that very
handsome, naughty Miss Harrington, who
has a pretty little fortune, and l think is
making conquest of Captain Barton, who
is here with his sister. Then that very idle
young scamp, Lord Ellerby-"
"Ah-Ellerby! They say Ellerby has run
into debt heavily, and means to marry an
heiress. Is it Miss Harrington who attracts
him?"
No, my dear You do not know, it seems,
that we have millionaire amongst us. Yes,
a cousin of Lady Sheldon's, the orphan
daughter of Captain Wardom, but niece, by
the mothers side, of rich old iron manu-
facturer of Coalshire, who died six months
ago, and made this girl, Jean Wardom, his
adopted daughter and heiress."
"Ah, what is she hke?"
Well, nice little girl, should say !;
quite too good for Ellerby."
Nevertheless, Ellerby is a great catch
Vast entailed estates, you know. Anyone
eIse?"
"Only the Spencers. Sweet little girls
they are; and Mrs. Spencer is kindly soul,
if she is silly. And half dozen others"
Lady Wynne stops; for the door opens,
and there glides in such vision of loveliness:
an exquisitely beautiful girl, fair, stately,
graceful as a lily on its stem. She looks like
lily, in her soft flowing drapery of glisten-
ing white silk.
"Oh. Sir Walter! What pleasant sur
prise !" she says, in sweet soft, languid tones,
as she stops in pretty astonishment; and the
young man hurries 10 meet her.
But ! have had all the pleasures of antic-
Ipation!" he replies, gallantly, as Miss Fan

THE MACHINES FOR JULY,

Harper's Magazine for July is an exception
ally fine number-instructive, entertaining,
amusing. Within its ample pages may be
found choice morceaus from the best writer's of
the age. The publishers of this magazine are
entitled to the thanks of a host of people of
both sexes for a general knowledge of places
and events, of which they would otherwise
have remained in profound ignorance to the
day of their death. The sketches of travel
alone are worth the subscription price of the
magazine.
The Century for July contains a frontispiece
portrait of Ralph Waldo Emerson, accompany
ing paper by Emma Lazarus ON Emerson's
Personality" also an engraving of the last
portrait of Henry d. Thoreau, from tintype
presented to J. II. Treadwell by Mr.. Emerson.
The sketch of "Thoreau is from the graceful
pen of John Burroughs and is written in his
happiest vein. All the departments of this ex-
cellent publication are up to the full standard
of merit, and the number is thoroughly en-
tertaining and instructive one.
Fide A,rake for July brings sigh of regret
to growR-up boys and girls of forty and upwards
that no such periodical was furnished for the
amusement and instruction of their childhood.
Although printed for boys and girls, the feast
is spread in such tempting way that it
is read by all the family. Life pictures, both
written and engraved, abound in it. Even the
fairies are depicted in such taking way that
ono can easily believe them real and regret not
having lived in an age when he could have
formed their acquaintance.
LippiHcott's Naga=iae for July contains a
choice collection of light and entertaining mat
ter, particularly adapted for summer reading.
Mr.. Robinson's contribution on "Black-Bass
Fisheries" carries us in imagination to some of
the least frequented streams of the Adirondacks.
1t is beautifully illustrated. Anna Bowman's
sketch of Peasant Life" is highly entertain-
ing, and Mr.. Holden's article, The Tiger OF
the Sea-" pictures some exciting adventures
among the lnan-eaters and other monsters off
the Florida coast. In fiction Lippincotts is, as
usually. especially attractive. There is capi-
tai Fourth of July story; the opening chapters
of a new serial Fairy Gold; and numerous
sketches, poetry and miscellaneous matter Of
interest.
Demo,ezts If1qa-fae for July is prepared to
commemorate the sixtieth birthday of the pro-
Drietor and senior editor, W. Jennings Demo-
rest and is the finest number ever issued of
This popular monthly. Among the many read
abJe articles are . BrOOk-Farm Period ia New
England y by Col. Thomas w. Higginson; Eng
lish Women IN Bondage" by Kate Field; "R.W.
Emerson" by Miss Alcott. Mrs. Julia Ward
Howe and Mrs. Louise Chandler Meulton are
