A Lesson for Girls.

What we need, said gentleman in
private conversation, is concentration of
energy and application of tin the right
direction The person who spoke is a
manufacturer of art furniture, and it
was by mere accident that he took as
an illustration the example of his fore
woman in embroidery "She is stout
German-American girl, with heavy
face and dumpy figure. She always at
tends to business. have known her
every since she was young girl doing
embroidery for an uptown firm. We
used to send her extra pieces to do, and
she finally came to us altogether, because
we paid her better She has been in
demand, personally sought after by en-
ployers ever since she began, for she
spends her whole strength in her work
Her dress is extremely plain, aud she
does not care for gayeties. She has no
ruinous diversion of interest to prevent
her from attending to the matters of
first importance. On the other hand,
he continued, we have, off and on, in
our embroidery room, a pretty girl who
will never amount to anything. Her
ideas Of life are misshapen. She is a
clever enough embroideress, but she
works half-heartedly and only when she
feels inclined. She won't undertake
this piece and says she can't do that
She is always asking favor and doing
little irregularities that are harmless
enough, but disturbing to business. Her
one ambition is dress She really is, in
her way, ladylike person. She is neat
and clothes herself in good taste, with
no display, but in style far above her
condition in life. Not lady does she
see in the street but she looks at her
dress and manners and even listens to
her speech to see what she can pick up
to improve herself. The result is, the
poor girl has cultivated sensibilities
which make it unlikely that she will
ever be contented with any home that
might be offered her, and she has no
strong minded aspirations to independ-
ent prosperity. By devoting her energy
to unproductive channels the girl has
made herself useless and unhappy. She
is not thinking of how her work appears,
but of how she herself appears, and
tries to gain admiration and ingratiate
herself personally when what we want
from her is not pretty manners but a
good piece of embroidery Boston

aquarium was purchased forthwith and
sent to Mrs. Graham; and now every day
the old lady's work was cut out, for
Captain O'More was always in attend
ance on Bertha while Captain Barton
paid unmistakable attention TO Winnred.
1t was painful to witness the chaperone
efforts to see what was going on before
and behind her. She was just meditat-
ing on securing her daughters to two
long chains of her chatelaine when
Captain OMore proposed and was ac-
cepted; and no doubt her efforts in the
other direction might have happily re-
Taxed but that on the very day when
such very decided proofs of hopeless
alteration we're visible in Captain Bar
tons face, something happened-right
in front of all the people who had been
watching the affair for days, tool
Dear Ned, | am so gladf cried a
gushing voice; and Captain Barton turn
ed with slightly heightened color to
greet fashionably dressed girl who
continued to run on. DO come and
take me out; it is so fearfully dull in
the hotel, and mamma can't stir in the
sun, you know. And he raised his hat
politely to the Grahams, and Winifred
saw that girl take his arm and march
him off as if he were her property!
Later in the day dowager asks Mrs.
Graham if she had seen that lovely
Mrs. Barton?
The British matron's ire was reused;
but no signs appeared to show the vexa-
ton felt, as Mrs. Graham coolly in
quired:
What, Mrs. Bartong
Captain Barton's wife--you saw her
this morning, you know.
The moon was shining over the rest
less little ripples that broke on the rocks
that night; and many lovers were wan
dering in their fools paradise. But two
that we know of were not.
Where's Winnie-and BartonY de-
manded O'More of his future mother
in-law, as she grimly sat out the watch
the lovers were keeping.
| Winnie is at home-and your friend
| presume, is where he ought to have
been long ago, with his wifeP
1T is his wife We say?' hotly inquired
the Irishman. BY jabers, Mrs. Gra-
ham, I'm not the man at all, at all, to
hear my best friends slandered!'
You saw her yourself walk off the
parade with him arm-in-arm this morn
ing, cried the mother, waxing warm in
her turn.
Just excuse me, ma am; | see it all!
when Winnie saw that she thought he
was married No, a'am, we have no
such scoundrels in 'oursr That lady is
the wife of Barton's sailor brother, and
her own husband is in China. And
you cut Barton dead tonight near the
band-I'll go and find the fellow.
And before that moon had paled there
was another pair of lovers, and Mrs
Graham sat in her easy chair pretending
to crotchet and listening drowsily to a
double fire of earnest requests for the
fixing of early wedding days-Mianic

Ariz0na's Petrified Forest.

One might almost pass by and notice
nothing unusual. But on looking closer
the rocks are found to be the trunks
of fallen trees turned to stone. They
lie about you here, there and everywhere,
some preserving their shape and out

scene is strange one 1t smacks of

magician blew upon this forest in the
vigor of its prime, and before his chill
ing breath the stout trees bowed them
selves and fell, and froze into flint and
agate. Still you hardly see why you
came, but after the coffee has been
boiled and breakfast eaten your Next
cans enlighten you. They bring out
hammers and drills, and selecting a
likely spot in stone trunk endeavor to
force a way into it. The stone is like
adamant. Again and again the drill
bounds away, but finally pieces are
shivered off and cracks made so that you
see what the petrifed forest has hidden
within it. Emeralds, sapphires and dia-
monds are convenient names, but alas,
our discoveries would hardly be counted
as such by Tiffany. Yet they are singu-
larly beautiful. You find blocks of
stone, their sides bristling with great
hexagonal crystals, some green, Others

lined with prismatic crystals sparkling
with all the colors Of the rainbow.
Much of the stone is beautifully marked

When there are such extreme measures
sought to be adopted as an absolute herd

that COOL conservative men like GIBBS,

others, are necessary to preserve the proper
equilibrium.

THE RAIN STORM.

Another wind and rain storm broke over
the city about O'Clock Tuesday morning.
The wind, which was blowing. from the
south, was very strong, though no ma.
terial damage was done. The centre Of
Monday morning storm was about Hutch
where everything was flooded. There was
two feet Of water on the poor.farn and the
country adjacent. The young cotton and
corn suffered severely from the hard,
washing rain. Agricultural implements
were swept away by the flood,
bridges carried off and some stock
drowned. So great was the rain fall that
the Trinity river at Dowdy's ferry rose
ferry boat was sunk three times by the
great flow OF water. A good deal of the
crop in that section will have to be re-
planted. The Trinity river is on a slight
rise. The weather continues cloudy.
