a young girl She was seated on the moss
covered, gnarled roots of a large tree.
Her slender, dark hands held fishing-pole
steady, while her large, velvety dark eyes
were fastened intently upon the cork that
bobbed up and down on the surface of the
stream, in obedience to the wind that played
gently over the Roaring Fork.
Three beautiful specllled fish of good size,
now and then made slight undulati0n of
the water at her feet, in the vain effort to
free themselves from the forked stick on
which she had secured them.
The girl could not have been more than
sixteen Shewasp plump in figure, with good
features, and a pair of soulful dark eyes,
that had a world of sadness in their depths.
She was dressed in faded gown of some
coarse blue material, which had been made
without regard to any particular style, past
or present. and fitted her form poorly, com
ing only to her bare, brown ankles. Alto
getheT, she was wild, dark little creature,
that looked not unlike natural part of that
picturesque sylvan scene round about the
Roaring Fork, and might have been taken
fer larger sister to the beautiful wild
flowers that doomed in such prodigality on
its banks
A footstep fell on the hearing Of the girl
She turned her head in the direction from
whence the sound came. A man was COM
ing towards her The girl recognized him
ut once and deep frown broke the calm of
her countenance.
The man that approached her was hand
some, devil-may-care sort of fellow, thirty
five years of age or whereabouts, tall and
graceful in manners with golden hair and
whiskers, and restless, penetrating eyes of
gray A somewhat cruel, sardonic expression
constantly lowered around his small mouth,
and, just now, as he stopped above her on
the bank, it seemed to expand and render his
handsome face more repellent to the girl,
whose dark eyes strove to read his thoughts.
For several moments he occupied grace
full attitude on the bank overlooking the
girls retreat without speaking. Neither did
she utter word, nor give any sign that he
was near her, other than to fix her wondrous
eyes upon him in distrust and repulsion.
AT length the fellow broke into laugh,
not pleasant by any means, and he said:
''You don't like me, Wild Bird of the Roar
ing Fork do you?n

DICKENS CHARACTERS.
Why They Are SO DeIicIousIy Bewitching
to The Average Reader.


to the Average Reader.
Dickens must not only have had ex-
ceptional powers of observation and
imagination, but extraordinary inten-
sity of sympathy with ordinary feel
ings and beliefs. His genius in charac-
terization tends to the grotesque and
eXtravagant; his personages, in their
names rs in their qualities, produce on
us the effect of strangeness; the plots
of the novels in which they appear
would with any other characters seem
grossly improbable, and yet his mind
is Enthusiastically rooted in common
sense and common humanity. He thus
succeeds in giving his readers all the
pleasure which comes from contem-
plating what is strange, odd and eccen-
trio, without disquieting them by any
paradoxes in morals or shocking them
by any perversions of homely, natural
sentiment. The christmas Carol"
for example, is as wild in gretesque
fancy as n dream of Hoffman,, yet in
feeling as solid and sweet and humane
as a sermon of Claiming. 1t impresses
us somewhat as we are impressed by
the sight of the Bible as illustrated by
Gustave Dore. Thus held fast to COM
mon, homely truths and feelings by his
sentiments he can safely give reins to
his imagination in his creations. The
keenest of observers, both of things and
persons, all that he observes is still
taken up and transformed by his imagi-
nation-becomes Dickenized, in fact
so that, whether he describes land
scape, or a bootjack, or build
ing, or n man, we see the object,
not as it is in itself, but as it is de-
liciously bewitched by his method Of
looking att. Every thing is suggested
by his outward experience, but modi-
fed by his inward experience. The re-
suit is that we do not have in him an
exact transcript of life, but an in
dividualized ideal of life from his point
of view.-E. r. Whipple, ne Scribner'S

Joe Frenchy's acquaintance were wont IN

for Lenita. Yet, that love was able to re

that he would never touch another drop Of
whisky again, and for little time he would
be truly happy in adhering to his resolves
But the tempters would come, Bert Coles and
others, who understood just how to strike
the weak cords of his nature, and, YIELDING

the cabin, he laid his pipe up on projection
of a log over the fireplace. Then, putting
on his coat he prepared to go out again.

WOMEN ShOPKEEPERS.
An Old Maid Prejudice Which is Being
Surmounted Rapidly.


The prejudice once entertained
against literary ladies has long since
been surmounted; the famous passage
at arms between George Sand and her
mother-in-law is already recalled by
most people with amazement; even the
most fastidious relations in these days
would be proud rather than ashamed
of seeing their daughters or sisters
name Ion the cover of printed books"
But it is otherwise with regard to indus
trial callings, and the most daring in
novation in England at this moment is
the lady shopkeeper AT present but
few women have had the courage to
brave the current social prejudice. We
draw such fine distinctions between
wholesale and retail traders that cur
cotton spinners. calico makers ana
general merchants seem to think
they belong to totally different
sphere, from which they look down
on the lady who has had sufficient
brains. capital and courage to open
a shop. That an artist should sell her
own paintings in her own studio is
proper and becoming, but many people
are shocked at the lady who trades in
paintings done in other studios. But
the Old World moves faster than it did
in former days, and before the end Of
the nineteenth century it is probable a
gentlewoman will be recognized in spite
of her having entered on commercial
pursuits, especially as we are growing
accustomed to see scions of our noblest
families on our Stock Exchange and In
tea merchants houses; one peer of tbs
realm is now doing an extensive bust
ness in Goals and another is cab pro-
prietor.
After speaking of the business sue
cess achieved by the Hon. Mrs. Maher-
ley in her London milk-shop and of the
reputation and wealth acquired by Miss
Charlotte Robinson as a house decor
ator, Miss Faithful concludes:
1.-The more highly educated our
women of business are the better for
themselves, their work and the whole
community. Many of the professions
to which ladies have hitherto turned
are overcrowded, and when once the
fear of losing social position is boldly
disregarded, it will be found that COM
mercial life offers variety of more or
less lucrative employment to ladies OF
birth and capital, who find it more con-
genial to their tastes and requirements
to invest their money and spend their
energies in business which yields
fair return, rather than sit at home
content with a scanty pittance and
colorless, monotonous life. "-Eysilg

THE YOUNGEST CAT.

a small bright face, two round,green eyes,
A fluffy head as soft as silk,
Two ears pricked up in swift surprise,
Two whiskered lips to drink the milk.
So sleek, so quick, so fair, so fat,

She has no reverence for the rest;
Plays unconcerned with Sambos tail; e,

She's safe up high, our youngest cat.
Then creeping round the sofa back,
She pats her mistress with her paw:
Disturbs the monarch, sleek and black,
Whose lightest mewings once were law:
He wakes; he splits. She's reached the maj
And flown outdoors, that youngest cat.
She's here, she's there, she's everywhere;
No spot is sacred from the pet.
OF food she takes the lions share:
She rushes where the Saucer's set;
The mouse she claims she boards the rat
Within his hole-the youngest cat.
She climbs the desk, she spills the ink,
Then chases swift the tagging pen. z
We put her down. but, ere we think,
She's up and ut the game again.

Costumes of the Tyrolese.

The costume of the Tyrolienne is a
pretty one, consisting of a stuff dress,
with very full skirt, the bodice cut
square in front and filled in with a silh
handkerchief which matches in color;
and a gay silk apron, which is of pink,
blue or yellow, according to the taste
of the wearer. The hats are not I'M
like the sailor hats worn by ladies, ex-
cept that they have stiff, straight
brim and are generally adorned with
tassels of gold bullion. The national
costume of the men is even more pict-
uresque, consisting of knitted dark
blue or white stockings, knee breeches,
waistcoat with two rows OF silver but
tons, somewhat long skirtish coat,
and hat with bunch of some wild
birds feathers at the side. But the
prettiest costume of all is that of the
jaeger, or huntsman. The brooches
come to the knee only, and the legs are
encased in embroidered leather CATERS,
leaving the knees bare; the coat is
dark green, with collars and cuffs of a
lighter shade; hat of dark green, with
an eagles feather, and an embroidered
shot-pouch slung over the shoulder. -

that abe. was bis wife. He was then asked
if he had been again married the eleventh
day of this month, which he also acknowl-

The Squire held him on 81 600 bond for
appearance before the next session OF the
Grand jury, which does not convene until
October. He failed to secure bondsmen
and was taken last evening from the lookup
TO the county Jail at Moundsville. Muster
had been steadily employed as car
psnter for the past two years at
the Riverside works and has the
reputation OF being sober indus
trious workman. He is about 3S years
old, and was thought TO be an unmarried
man by all who knew him in this place.
A little more than two weeks ago he had
gone TO SQUIRE Riddle and requested him
10 perform q marriage ceremony for him,
but the SQUIRE was constrained to answer
that he had no license for such occasions.
So he secured the services Of Rev. w. w.
King of the Methodist church, and had
the matrimonial knot tied. The name OF

which she could earn an honest penny
with which to procure the necessaries OF
life for the children thus left to her care.
She knew that he was working in Bsllaire
and then at this place, as she occasionally
received letter from him.
1t is further claimed that Alexander had
while in his quasi bachelor state, saved
$500 or $500, which is loaned
out in this vicinity. 1t would
only be justice for the law to hand over
this sum to the poor little soul who has
toiled three years past for the children and
let her play spinster on it until the said
