She Wouldn't Pool.

From the Chicago Tribune.
eS love Won -

From the Chicago Tribune
Eyes, love you"
Softly. very softly, were these words spoken,
and yet above the dreamy measures of a Strauss
waltz whose strains fiOated into the conserya-
tory where Harold NOnesuch and Beryl McIn-
tosh were standing they came clear and distinct
TO the mans ears. and as the rCby-red lips
ceased moving Beryl found herself suddenly
clasped in pair OF strong arms that drew her
close to the only man she had ever loyed-clcse
to the heart of one whose life was in the future
! TO be a part of hers, whose every action would
bring to her veal or woe. bitter anguish or rose
crowned joy, And as she stood there, not try
ing to escape from thTaldom that was of it
sell an intense, permeating JOY of which she had
hitherto been wholly ignorant, she felt for the
1irst time that ineXpressible sense of perfect Sc
curity and rest-that away-with-care-the-ca car
pefs-are-down at-laSt condition of mnd-that
comes TO every woman when the silken letters
OF pure and passlOnleSs affection bind fast her
heart to that Of one whom she can both love and
respect. And so when Harold raised the
pretty face to his, looked with ardent admira-
ton into the lustrOus brown eyes. and pressed
upon me deWy lips pulsing kiss that seemed
10 seal the compact of their betrothal Beryl did
not resist hinl-only when the pink sufillsiOn
OF blush that swept like a wave of flame over
her face had passed away she laid her head
tTustlnSIy on his shoulder and Wept tears of
10y.
For moment Harold stood silently by Beryl's
side, not daring to intrude upon the sacred pre-
cincts OF an emotion that filed this girls whole
life. But presently he led her to ruuteua, and
when he had seated himsefb by her side and
kissed away the tears that elistened so prettily
on the dropping eyelashes, he said to her:
And why do you love me so, Beryl?
Why is it that you are willing to become mine
for life?''
No answer. The mOonbeams fit erratically
through the branches of the linden trees that
stand Just outside the window, not a breath Of
air stirs the leaves. and the murmurous breath
ing OF star-eyed COW in the back yard of
Brerton Villa is the only sound that breaks the
almost deathlke silence.
Can you not tell me?" he asks.
Yes" Beryl answers. ''You know love
dancing"
81 do"
THAT is why one day, God willing, will be
your BRIDE"
But l do not understand your words"
exclaims Harold. "Why do you marry me on
account of your love for dancing?'
Because" she answers, looking at him with
an expression of infinite tenderness and pathos
in her pure young face, you have learned my
step to perfection"

A Yaxvn catches a Husband.
Taunton (Mass.) Cazctt,


singular story is told about the union of
two loving hearts in this city which is worth re-
peating. The lady was passing the establish

must be trellised make it of straw, not gilt.
or of twigs, real twigs and trail vines over 1t.
The beading and tinsel, the gliding and enamel
ing. the metallic ornaments and the last winter
aigrettes are all emphasized by the dark color
and the extent to which velvet is used and
makes the millinery look like the cleft over of
the previous season.
The mantel presents the same difficulties as
the bonnet. 1t is beaded. 1t is enriched, as it
is called, with hanging things of every descrip-
ton. 1t Is costly but it is fantastic and not use
ful-certainly not permanent. Most women re-
cogniZe this, and they do not wear any mantel
at all. They wear their plain light-itting street
dresses without any covering. and show figures
as well defined as If dressed in tights upon the
stage.
A revolt is imminent against the high should
ers which have been carried up to a deform-
Ing extent. The high cut upon the shoulder,
which admits of much more perfect fit for the
bodice and gives freedom to the arm is q good
thing; but in the dress of women designers or
makers OF garments are never satisfied to do a
good thing. They keep changing it until they
make something worse OF it THAN that which
preceded it. and which, therefore, finds an OPP
pOrtunity for reinstatement. The shoulders
now are carried up to within couple of inches
OF the throat and are stiffened into regular
Jumps. The graceful slope is not only wholly
lost, and lath-like length impaired TO their
upper arms but an actual deformity is cuti-
waited. This style is particularly obnoxious on
the square capes and collars; the little vistes
and scarf mantelets which, small as they are,
are so costly that women with small incomes
would not thpk Of throwing them away after

the excuses into which some young girls run,
| with their high collars, jockey caps. studs

not wear mantels in the street. They. are as
straight and free from all extraneous articles OF
attire as If they had followed the fashions Of

India. it appears. is not going to injure
our wheat trade. British experts say
American wheat is superior to
Indian wheat. and will always
command better price. OF the
go, 900 600 bushels produced in good
year in India. about one-fourth is usually
exported. but the people OF India are
themselves becoming large consumers OF
wheat. Sir James Card asserts that in
two years India will consume her own
wheat crop. The harvests OF the last two
years were exceptionally large in that
country. and last year the wheat crop of
England and Western Europe was unusual
ly good. This extraordinary condition
brought about falling-of in the demand
for American wheat. The India rivalry
is not serious. It is not at all-what there
is of it-likely to last.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1884-06-03

1t is twenty-four years since the repub-
lican party entered upon the path OF sue
cess in national politics. The nomination
of Abraham Lincoln was the initial step.
The change between the makeup of the
party then and now is very striking At
that time there were few men of national
reputation and experience in public affairs
found in the republican party. Its MEM
bers we're mostly new and untried. There
was Seward, Hamlin. Fessenden. Chase
and few others who were prominent
characters in politics. but Abraham Lin
coin. the nominee of the national conven-
ton. had no experience in the art of rul-
ing and governing States. The columns
of the democratic press teemed with arti-
cles ridiculing the weakness of the repub-
lcan party in craftsmanship and pointing
with exultation to the large number of
distinguished names borne on the rolls of
the democratic party.
But twenty-four years have made re-
markable change in the character of the
two great parties. The democratic party
is shorn OF nearly all its great men. The
rebellion swallowed up many of them. and
sent nearly all the material of which states
men could be made into the republican
party, where loyalty and patriotism were
welcomed with open arms and thee flag
was honored and borne triumphantiY alott
amidst the smoke and carnage of battle.
Now it is the republican party that has the
grand roll of great and distinguished men.
The leaders in Congress. the veterans who
led the Union armies to victory on the
battle field. the men who have distin-
yuished themselves in Cabinet and ad-
ministrative affairs. in diplomacy. in do
mestic and foreign concerns. are chiefly
found in the ranks of the republican party.
The sneer of twenty-four years ago by
the democrats at the inexperience and
weakness of the republican party in states
manship may now be returned with heavy
interest and perfect truthtulness by the
latter to the former.
rhe national conventions of the two
parties in some degree represent the i'm.
portance of the one and the other. The
democratic convention waits until the bold
er and stronger party has made its nom
nations and adopted its platform. and ri
later day will come timidly into the
field with candidates and a platform adopt.
ed. not to embody and represent great
principles. but selected entirely with re.
gard to expediency. or anything to beat
the republican party" The people vel
understand how these things are. anC
therefore while they mark with the deep
est interest the progress of the convention
now being held at Chicago, because it is s
party of principle and power and positive
force and its action has meaning, there i:
but little thought given to what the party
