Not Good Judges of Shawls.

Hanging in 4 dry-goods firms win
dow in Lewiston, Me-, were some ele-
giant cashmere shawls. There is moth
ing more misleading. perhaps, than a
cashmere shawl, but the ordinary lady
purchaser prides herself on what she
knows about such things. Recently
two ladies entered the store and asked
to look at the shawls. They were pro-
duced and displayed to the ladies,
who pulled at them, and picked at
them, and discussed them, and finally
turned aside with an air of indiffeI
ence, as if they had found no merit in
them. The obliging lady clerk had
become interested in their examina-
ton, and, as the ladies were about to
turn away, she asked what they
thought of the shawls-
One of the women only spoke up.
She stuck her long foretinger under
one of the shawls and, pulling at it
again, replied: 30, nothing much.
l saw the shawls in the window; that
was all. 1 thought then that they
were pretty cheap at 81, but L don t
want 'em." The tag on the goods
might have misled them, and perhaps
the outward appearance of the rich
fabric of the shawls might have aided
in the deception. The tag was marked
5000 instead of 81. The clerk ex-
planned the difference to her customers.
Both of them, it is said, looked as
though they would like to have the
roof fall on them.

The Lessons in Chess.

o, the ancient game of the Persian race was q
mythical. curious thing!
1he queen, with her glorious, matchleS6
strength, the feeble, protected king.
The castles. and knights, and bishops, the ar
ray of devoted pawns.
The rapt and silent sagcs who play till the
morning dawns.
The bold and brilliant gambit, the skillful and
strong defense.
On the miniature field of battle, the hours OF
deep suspensei
But not with such zeal we played it, but only
when evening came
We bent DER the board together, and taught
you the grand old game.
The moves were learn ID but slowly, and too
often were wrongly made,
ANA we whispered o'eI the chess-hOard, half
forgetting the game we played;
Then, with blush. quick starting, you turn
ed to the board once more,
AND checked my king with bishop that was
not on the line bCfcrel
You broke my host with 1.-The scholars mate, -
though the simple Toll knew,
But II often brought me quick defeat when
the moves wcr male by you;
And many gi,ne was los. by me that [
might with cnsc nave won,
To watch the innocent pride, my love, in your
eyes when the pay was done.
DO you think you could play the game to-
night, as the shadows of twilight die?
Instead of my king would you check your
own, as you did in the days gone by?
you may have forG ten the moves, indeed,
but know j have cause to bless
The love-lit hours of long ago, when taught
YOU the game of chess
., little it mattered who won or lost, so long
as your eyes met mine,
With the sweet, shy look that knew so well,
while a smile on your face would shine.
And, whether in vicio ory or defeat my heart
fond hope held fast.
And fortune smiled ON the game played, for
captured my queen at last.

Charlotte Cushman's Lover.

Charlotte Cushmau was the object of
one unconfessed and unspoken love.
1t was silently bred, silently existed,
and, unknown to the great artest, was
buried with her. He was a prominent
politician, man of great intellect,
and a great influence in the political
and executive interests of the country.
When he fell in love with Miss Cush-
man he was member of congress; he
was retiring and quiet in his nature,
and never made any pronounced at
tempts to force an acquaintance.
When the great artist died tthe Park
er House in Boston in 1876, he at
tended the funeral, and was solitary,
silent mourner while the body lay in
state, and a daily caller at the new
made grave in Auburn for several days
after the burial--always leaving upon
the mound small bunch of rare flow
ers. If Miss Cushman had accepted,
she could have been the wife of one of
Boston's most prominent men.

A Washington correspondent says
of the Presidents style of receiving:
He does not sit in stately style at the
head of the Cabinet table in the Cabi-
net-room, as did Rutherford B. Hayes;
but, standing in the oval library-room,
he receives his callers as any gentle
man might. He does not stand quite
still, as Arthur used to do, at one end
of the room, and all the people present
passing in procession before him; but
the callers having been arranged
around the walls to the full capacity of
the big red-leather chairs and sofas, he
walks around from right to left, shak-
ing hands with each caller and listen
ing to what he has to say as long as
patience is a virtue. At IL o'clock
Col. Doeffier, his gray-haired doorkeep-
er, ushers i'll the first batch of callers,
promptly shutting off the stream when
the oval of people is complete. The
President, who has been at his broad
oaken desk there in the big bow-win-
dow ever since 9 o'clock, rises and
courteOusly addresses the first caller
on his right. So he goes around the
room. As fast as it IS emptied it is all
filled again. until o'clock, when the
doors are closed for the day.

The best story yet told about Gen.
Grant has just come into print At
the time in question he was in the
White House. One evening he was
walking with Marshall Jewell, when
they came to little girl in distress
because she had lost her way. 1t was
evident that she was in need of some
thing more than the proper direction,
which they gave; but the two men
walked on. Soon Gen. Grant excused
himself for a moment Now"
thought Mr.. Jewell, ''while the GEN
erals gone I'll step back and give that
child some money" Both men were
trying to do good by stealth, for that
had been Gen. Grants errand.. But it
so happened that Gen. Grant had not a
cent about him, and when Mr.. Jewell
overlook the little girl he found her
with an apron full of cigars. The man
of many conflicts had emptled his
pockets.
