in her voice, didn't you tell me once you

heroism for my sake!"
''Ies, Fannie; and gladly reiterate the

tones. mo noble Roman of old was fired

A Bric-A Brac Hunter Deceived.
San Francisco Oh, onicle.

1t was unfortunate because she was
going way after a delightful visit All
her friends were there to see her off and
she had no chance to explain it away.
She was perfectly innocent too and it was
not dissipated habits or strong taste, but
simply another example of the craze for
bric-a brac. But she is gone and the young
gentlemen who had dotted upon her, the
fellows who had looked npon her as a
high and brilliant specimen of femalety
came home from the good-by matinee
with sore and disiIlusionized hearts 1t
was very pretty jar. The gentleman
who had been her host had packed up two
and he sent them home. They were to
be decorated. One had Marquis of Lorne
on it and the other Jeroboam But they
were unique pretty jars. Men may have
seen them but the female bric-a-brac
hunter saw artistic beauty in them men
never looked for. Hers was Jeroboam
All her trunks were packed and gone.
She was whipping the tears from the eyes
for she did not want to go home. She
had such good time. Oh" said the
hostress, suddenly, . declare. you've for
gotten Jeroboam. What shall we do:
Jeroboamr' she said, my Jeroboam
leave my Jeroboam behind! Never! Never!
How can We take it:
will carry it
So she took Jeroboam and kissed it
tenderly and seized piece of delicate
yellow ribbon and tied il equally tenderly
around Jeroboam's neck; then she took
ii gracefully in her arms and bore it off,
and as she passed into the ferry she saw
her Jeroboam was attracting a great deal
of attention. Everybody looked at 1t and
turned way. She was proud of Jeroboam.
Then after this had gone on for half an
hour and the boat was nearly at Oakland,
the host said:
guess you might as well let me ill
it."
: Fill 1t. What do you mean:
We'll, ii might as well be full since
everybody can see what it i supposed TO
contain
What are you talking about!
Then she took a long look at Jeroboam
and found that all the time she had been
carefully displaying jar bearing the
strange and appalling legend: .'Jeroooam

Seventeen Offers of Marriage.
Fall Mall Gazette.

The seventeen offers of marriage which
Mrs. Adelaide Bartlett is said to have re-
ceived during the last week, including
one from a clergyman, merely illustrate
and support the argument of Buckle that
human actions are as much subjec to uni
form law as the courses of the stars. Such
offers of marriage, including one from a
clergyman, are the invariable fortune of
the ladies who are accused of poisoning
their husbands or lovers. The number of
seventeen has probably increased tenfold
by this time, if We are to judge by the re
corded experience of Madeline Smith. the
heroine of the great Scotch poisoning
case in 1858. That young lady accepted
one of her numerous suitors (the clergy
man we BELIEVED, and lives to this day a
prosperous gentlewoman in the immediate
neighborhoOd of Bedford square. Let us
hope that Mrs, Bartlett may be recompens
ed by happy union for her Tast miseries
She has the matrimonial advantage OF
some thousands of pounds and a most be
witching pair of eyes. She is also an at
tentive and experienced sick nurse, whose
experience of the dangers of using chloro
form are sufficiently painful to deter heI
from practicing with that drug upon hel
second husband.

XIII.
In a cottage on the banks OF one of the
Cumberland lakes two ladies were seated at
the breakfast table. The window of the
room opened on a garden which extended to
the waters edge. and on q boatlIOuse and
wooden pier beyond. ON the pier 4 little
girl was fishing, under the care of a maid.
After prevalence OF rainy weather the sun
was warm this morning for the time of year,
and the broad sheet of water alternately
sarkened and frightened as the moving
masses Of cloud now gathered and now part
ed over the blue beauty of the sky.
The ladies had finished their breakfast.
The elder of the two-that is to say Mrs.
Presty-tooll up her knitting and eyed her
silent daughter with an expression Of impa-
