station of his wife he had doubted, or at least,
had questioned
And now he would have given half his life to
know that he could win her.
Had he lost forever the golden opportunity
for perfect happiness by his hardness and
blindness and stupidity?
So it seemed: His efforts to see her alone
proved unavailing. Some one was always
present when he called. Sometimes Senator
ROMAN, always Mrs. Metcalf
''Has your hostess constituted herself body
guard OF one to protect you?" he asked, in an
1ngracious aside, one day. when he was thor
oughly irritated by that lady's seeming uncon-
sciousncss of his restless, eager manner.
Lisle looked at him with questioning surprise
and disapproval.
81 desired Mrs. Metcalf to assist me in enter
tanning all my callers" she said:
"Yon were not always so conventional" he
retorted; "and see no need of it now"
Her face flushed slowly. I :
'sCustoms in country farmhouses do not cor
respond with those in conventional society,
having disobeyed the strict demands of custom
heretofore, and shall strive to make amends in
the future"
And then she asked Richard if he had seen
the new painting Mrs Metcalf had just pur-
chased, and SO changed the conversation. He
left her, wondering if he was the victim of
some strange nightmare, or If this reserved and
such fear, was one and the same with the sweet
girl whom he had seen picking wild berries q
few months BEFORE anv.whose tender, heart
broken letters used to bring the tears to his
eyes in pity of himself now.
He heard rumors of her engagement to Sen
ator Roman as the days wore on, and he made
up his mind to go abroad and to go without
trying to see her again.
He could not bear the confirmation from her
own lips of the report, and yet he should feel
compelled to refer to it if he saw her:
So he wrote her his farewell This was his
letter:
Lisle-I am going abroad in few days for
q prolonged stay. I shall not see you again
before leaving. Ny meetings with you are too
painful when contrasted with past interviews.
And now that hear the current report of your
zbetrothal to Senator Roman, I do not feel bravo
enough even to see you to say good, bye. I do
not blame You, dear, for the very heroic treat
ment you have administered to me. I have
been weak-almost cowardly-in some re-
spects; no wonder if you are disguised with
me- Yet, now in this, the last letter shall
ever write you, want to tell you !. have given
yon the one great, true love of my life time,

He went back to Albany in October without

Getting Away From Nature.

A theory is abroad that the weather
of these islands has experienced a woe
full change, that the heat of the sun has
sensibly diminished, that April is not
what April formerly was, and that May
is travesty of March. The assertion
reminds US forcibly of Thackeray' S
saturnine observation that coffee is not
as good as it used to be. 1t is we who
have deteriorated, not the spring; it is
men and women who are growing
colder, not the year. A generation
that frousts oyer the fire, that is fan
nelled up to the chin and swathed do wn
to the ankles, that shuts out from the
houses every breath of fresh air, that
builds itself double windows and double
doors, and loses no chance and no oc-
caSion of comforting and coddling its
sybaritic body, is not likely to 90 out
on an average spring day and not COM
plain of a chill. Our ancestors lived
differently, and the consequence was
they found winter very to!erable and
spring most delightful. Their houses
were not air-proof, or, for the matter of
that, rain-prOof. They let in plenty of
cold; and fires in bedrooms were allowed
only in the depth of winter to the old
women and the moribdnd. They did
moi complain of frost and snow, but
took these as a matter of course, and
braced themselves against the winds OF
March by burly habits, and an uncom-
planning spirit. When, therefore, the
wintry winds relented, and the wild
flowers burst upon the world, they
owned the magic of the change. and
revelled in rise of the thermometer
which their degenerated descendants
hardly notice. The breach between
nature and man is yearly widening by
mans own fault. With his detestable
inventions for making himself in
dependent of the elements, he finds
when he is forced to confront them that
they are to much for him. For nature
is a true conservative, and refuses to
follow man in its progressive journey
toward an ever deepening discomfort.
We may change; but the seasons do
not. There is occasionally, as this
year, a slight variation of the natural
order; but it is for the year only. Next
year, like last year, we may possibly
have perfectly lovely spring. and the
usual amount of grumbling that it is
not an equinoctial summer.-LOndon

Bossuet's Grafton and the Ring.

In 1869 Bossuet had delivered his
celebrated funeral Grafton for the
widowed Queen, at whose death nothing
but its suddenness prevented him from
being present. In the following year,
he daughter being suddenly struck,
when at Versailles, by mortal sick
ness, supposed to have been the effect
Of poison administered by the creatures
Of her reprobate husband, cried out in
her agonies that BOssuet should be in
stantly sent for and brought to her bed
side. While couriers were dispatched
in hot haste to fetch him from Paris
she made her confession and received
the last sacramentS, much distressed, it
is said, by the "infiexible severity" of
| The priest in attendance, and anxiously
watching the door for BoSsuet's arrival.
1t was past midnight when he came,
and she Immediately eXacted from him
promise that he would not leaYe her
as long as she breathed. With the
erucifix in his clasped hands on which
the Queen-mother, Anne of Austria, not
long before had breathed her dying
kiss, he threw himself on his knees by
the bedside; and as the life of the i'll
fated Princess rapidly ebbed away he
wept and prayed with her. with words
so full of consolation and faith that the
people of the Court, who as usual
crowded the chamber, were melted
into passionate tears by the
scene. Within an hour of her death,
whispering in English that Bossuet
might not understand, she desired that
superb emerald and diamond ring she
wore should be given to him as me-
mortal when all was over. She expired
at three a. m, only nine hours after the
seizure, and the ring with the message
was Immediately conveyed by Mime. La
Fayette to the King, who sent for Bos-
suet, placed the jewel on his finger, and
charged him to wear it always, and to
preach the Princess funeral discourse.
As soon as the incident got wind Bos-
suet was congratulated by the courtiers,
who at the same time expressed re-
gret that the proprieties of the pulpit
would scarcely admit of his mentioning
a circumstance so honorable both to the
departed Princess and to himself.
"Why not?" was his reply; which, fly
ing from lip to lip, excited an eager Gu
riosity to see how the great orator
would carry out his implied intention.
1t was not till near the end of the dis
course that their curiosity was gratifed,
and it was in way that took them by
surprise. Among the virtues of the de-
parted, Bossuet found occasion to COM
memorate not only her liberality, but
the pleasing grace with which she en-
HANGED the value of her gifts. "This
art of giving gracefully he added,
(which she so well practiced in life,
accompanied her-I know it.

Those three words ''Je le sais," pro-
nounced with sudden emphasis and q
gesture of the hand sparkling with the
well-known jewel. electrified the bril-
liant audience, which was as much
moved by admiration of the orators
address in dealing with so delicate a
matter, as it had been previously
thrilled by his pathos in depicting the
of that night of horror.

A Remarkable Bass Voice.

81 heard a phenomenal bass voice a
day or two since," said local musician
to the writer. ''It was in the wee sma'
hours of the morning, and / was return
ing home from dance. l turned into
Court Street from Washington, when
my attention was attracted by a man
singing, apparently at the further end
of fremont Row. 1t was rich, reso-
nant bass voice, and the man was sing
ing in the upper register. can tell the
pitch of tones by ear, and once during
his caroling he reached high F, and no
strain was apparent in the tone. 1t
rolled out strong and easy, as if Whit
ney were singing. Then the melody
progressed downward, until to my as
tonishment he was sounding low E,..and
| heard him with perfect distinctness.
He must have been two hundred yards
away. As we approached he stopped
singing / saw that he was negro.
He strOlled leisurely along, hands in
pockets, and seemed to be some laborer
either going to or returning from work.
"When | passed him he commenced
10 sing again, and stood at the en-
trance to Pemberton Square listening
until he turned into Washington Street.
At that distance his voice was distinct
and powerful on low E. and he was ap-
parently far from the limit to his range.
such volume of tone I never heard
equaled, even by Scaria, unless the
morning air and quiet streets are ex-
ceedipsly deceptive. Boston Globe

Blaine and the Republicans.

There are many Republicans who see
in the present candidate of their part,
none of the solid qualities of judgment
and prudence which should be possessed
by a possible ruler of Nation, anC
none of that scupulous honor which
ought to be expected in public man
These Republicans are deeply disguised
with the result of the Chicago Conven.
ton, and some of them have already de-
clared their resolution of opposing s
restless adventurer whose Administra
ton, if, to the misfortune of the coun.
try, he should be elected President,
would mean corruption at home and
reckless entanglement abroad. In
Massachusetts an active protest against
him is already made. and in New York,
where the Republicans need every vote
they can get, a decided disaffection ex-
lists.
These mutterings of discomfort may
die away before election day, or they
may be the precursors of storm which
will overwhelm the party. But wheth.
er the revolt be great or small, it is
hard to see how Mr.. Blaine's follow.
ers can be unprepared for it. In 1881
their favorite did all he could to divide
the party. For the sake of gratifying g
personal grudge, he induced Garfield
to declare war against Conkling. The
party, while it was yet flush of recent
victory, was d.sorganized and split into
bitterly opposed factions. Then came
Garfield assassination, and the man who
made him tool and his short admins
tration failure, had nothing but abuse
or distrust for his successor.
Mr.. Arthur found his party in the
wretched plight to which Mr.. Blaine 8
leadership had brought it. By moder.
alton and conservatism and prudence,
the President has made the party
stronger and more united than could
have been expected. The nomination
of Mr.. Blaine again threatens to pro-
duce dangerous, perhaps fatal, divi-
sions. ...r..
Mr.. Blaine, who was the voluntary
cause of the divisions in his party in
1881. is now the involuntary cause of
divisions in it in 1884. He can have no
reason to complain if there are Repub-
licans who will crafty their suspicion
or their hatred of him to the loss of the
party, as he gratified his private hatred
to the loss of the party in 1881. But
there is this difference. He injured his
party merely to satisfy private malice.
The men who will oppose him this fall,
even if the defeat or ruin of Republi-
canism should be the result, are acting
for the most part from patriotic motives.
because they believe that he is dan
gerous and unprincipled politician, unfit
and unworthy to be entrusted with the
National Government. They may
smash the Republican party. but Mr..
Blaine can't complain; he tried to
smash it himself ~. Y. Sun.
