Miss EVGIylS New Years Calls.
BY KATE NEELY HILL.


Hope Evelyn stood at her window
away up in the top of stately New
York mansion, looking down upon the
broad avenue that was already in the
full tide and whirl of New Years Day.
She was only little country girl, who
had never been in city before during
the holiday season; and the pan
Drama presented by the spacious street,
marbled white by the first real snow of
the winter, and all alive with sleighs of
every luxurious style, filled with elegant
looking men, and drawn by satin-coated
thoroughbreds glittering in gilded har-
ness, and prancing to the music of their
own silver bells, fascinated her with its
splendor, and kept her at her window
gazing out until her eyes were fairly
dazzled by the ceaseless glitter and
whirl.
Poor girl! these dazzling glimpses
were the only share she was likely to
have in the universal New Year gaiety.
She was not the daughter of that aristo-
cratic house, but only nursery governess
to its two youngest darlings. Her en-
ployer, Mrs. Suydam, had been very
kind; she had remembered "the very
lady-like girl, quite treasure-trove, my
dearw who took such good care of her
precious pets, and had graciously offered
the use of the small reception-room on
the first floor in case Miss Evelyn might
perhaps have friend who would like to
call.
Dear Lily and Angela have entreat-
ed so to be allowed TO come into the
parlor, and they are really such an at
traction, the little fairiesl that have
at last consented" she explained. $50
when you have dressed them you will
be quite at leisure for some time, and !
should be glad to know you were enjoy
ing yourself"
Miss Evelyn was very grateful for
what she knew was unusual ga ,ious-
ness, but there was no one in whose be-
half she might avail herself Of the kind
permission; and she felt strangely alone
and lonely as she looked wistfully down
upon the ever-moving spectacle below.

selfl She had found out moreover what
its meaning was, for he had mentioned
vision he had chanced to catch IN
passing the house that morning, which
he chose 10 call vision of mercy, and
had won the whole story of her adven-
turc from her own Shy smiling lips.
And now, TOUT vIoLAl What more
Is there to tell than that the wedding
took place that very winter in that iden-
tical sumptuous apartment That the
''falries'" mamma supplied the trous-
seau, and the beautiful Imogene herself

FARE THEE WELL! AND If FOREVER.
BY BY RON.

BY III KUN.
Fare thee well! and II forever,
Still forever, fare thee well;
Even though unforgiving, never
'Gainst thee shall my heart rebel.
W uld that breast were barred before thee
Where thy head so oft hath lain,
While that placid sleep came O'er thee
Which thou ne'er canst know again;
Would that breast, by thee glanced over,
Every inmOst thought could show!
Then thou wOuldst nj last discover
T was not well to spun II so.
Though the world for this commend thee
Though 1t smile upon the blow,
Even its praises must offend thee,
Founded on another's woe;
Though my many faults defaccd me,
Could no other arm be found,
Than the one which once embraced me,
To mfict curelcss wound:
ct, o, yet, thyself deceive not;
Love may sink by slow decay,
But by sudden wrench. believe not
Hearts can thus be torn away;
| Sill thine own its life retaineth,
Still must mine, though bleeding beat;
And the undying thought which paincth
| IS--that we no more may meet.
These are words of deeper sorrow
Than the wall above the dead
Both shall live. but every morrow
Wake us from widowed bed.
And when thou wouldst solace gather,
When our chlid's f. 81 accents flow,
wilt thou teach her It o y "Father!"
Though his care she must forcgo?
When her little hands shall press thee,
When her lip TO thine be pressed,
| Think oi him whose prayer shall bless thc'
Think Of him thy love had blessed!
Should her lineamentS resemble
Those thou nevcrmOre mayst see,
Then thy heart will softly trenble
With Il pulse yet true 10 me.
All my faults perchancc thou knowest,
All my madness none can know;
!. All my hopes. where'er thou goeSt,
Wither, yet with thee they go.
Every feeling hath been shaken;
Pride which not world could bow,
Bows To thee,-by thee forsuken,
Even my soul forSakes me now;
But I is done; all words are idle,--
Words from me are yaincr still;
But the thoughts we cannot bride
; Force their way without the will.
Fare the wcll.-thus diaunited,
Torn from every nearer tie,
Scared in heart, and lone and blighted,
More than this | scarce can die.

sEC'Y wHITNEY's EXPERIMENT.

Secretary of the Navy Whitney is an
old New Yorker, and so familiar with
the city's characteristics. lie stood in
the corridor of the Fifth avenue hotel IN
light conversation with Secretary of the
Interior Lamar, and the topic of conver-
sation was confidence robbery that had
been perpetrated upon guest of the
house that day. Whitney maintained
that while some men were astonishingly
guliible the majority were unrcasonably
cautious.
"To illustrate my point" lie said,
''let my young friend Joe Barnard here
offer to give $40 bill for 81, and not
man in this corridor will accept the
offer"
The experiment was at once made.
Joe was a good-looking, well-dressed
fellow, with nothing in his aspect to
suggest roguery. Whitney handed a
crisp, new $40 note to him, and he set
out on his round.
81 beg your pardon, sir" he remarked
politely to Gen. Dan Sickles, who was
stumping round on leg and crutch,
''but will you please give me one dollar
for this temp" and he held the note so
close to Sickles' eyes that its genuine
ness ought to have been visible.
A half-sarcastic, half-angry grin came
over the generals face, but he deigned
no reply, and contemptuously turned
away. The proffer was soberly made to
nine men, none being a witness of the
others refusal. and every time with the
same result. Nobody would buy $40
with 81. All decided on the spur of the
moment that they were the objects of u
swindler's attention. The endangered
note came safely back to Whitney, and
the group laughed over its adventure
save Sickles, who was called in to be
teased for letting so good bargain slip.
