Pure IN HEART AND UNseLFlsn
~ IN PURPOSE.
ny I HARPER."

Out4y the edge of the meadow, under
an apple tree that was sending showers
of delicate pink and white petals down
to the grass with every breeze, lay
pretty Nora Greedy, fast asleep. The
soft and sweet-scented leaves lay scat
tered all over her brown dress, and
some nestled in her thick, dark hair,
and one had fallen on one of her eyelids
and reposed there as if pleased with
the position.
Nora's arms were bare to the elbows
and were undeniably red and showed
signs of toll, and her face was tanned
and brown, save where her healthy
young blood showed through the
brown. Her lips we're parted and be-
tween them we're glimpses of white
teeth that were the envy of all who
saw them, and all who knew her saw
them often, for she was always laughing
and blithe, and somehow the rich color,
dark hair and pretty teeth all seemed
to belong to those beautiful blue eyes
That looked 80 honestly out from under
che heavy, black lashes, true Irish
eyes than which none are more lovely.

CARROTS Palace.

The Garrett residence is q wonder OF
architectural and decorative art; aud it's
formal opening by a grand ball early in
January. 1881, was the event Of that Balti-
more season. The ground plan is 6OxlOO
feet; there are three stories and Q base.
ment, with solid front of brown stone.
The general style is of the French renais-
sance, but the designer allowed himself
much latitude. The main hall is that Of
an old English manor, and all the wood.
work is Of English black oak, deliberately
carved, with panel decorations, choice
paintings and steel suits Of mail. There
is also a library finished in mahogany, q
dining room in the Dutch style Of the six
teenth century. q parlor upholstered in
Gobelin tapestry. with deem friezes of al
legorical paintings, q wonderful balcony,
aud q conservatory, forty by sixty feet in
size, which is a perfect paradise Of ferns
and exotic flowers, with bubbling foun-
tains and waterfalls, over all of which is o
light soft as that of a full moon. Alto
gether, it is q n%eighborhood Of which the
possible colored orphan neighbors would
have no cause to feel ashamed. The real
wonder Of the place, however, is the bath
room, modelled after that Of the luxurious
Louis XIV. Of France. The ceiling is in
imitation of lattice work, with vines and
flowers; the immense laver (vulgato voce
tub is of silver and Tennessee marble;
the water comes in through brass pipes
and gold plated figures, and all the adorn-
ments are Of Sybaritic elegance.-Phaa-

An unusual wedding ceremony has last
been performed At Philadelphia. About Il
vas an echo OF the great civil war. The
contracting parties were Dr.. Frederick
Ward Saunders, Of York, Pa. and his bride
Of twenty-four years ago, the mother Of
his children. This couple have lived to.
gether twenty-four years In the relation Of
man and wife and reared a family, but the
evidence Of their having been legally mar
ried was destroyed, and SO after all these
years they were again married. On June
~, 1854, DR.. Saunders was married In
York, Pa, to Miss Ellen Belle 10y. Just
after the ceremony the rebels raided the
town and pillaged Dr.. Saunders house
among others. Among the things carried
Oh was the doctors marriage license"
Among the things destroyed in York by
the rebels were the records Of the church
In which the doctor was married to Miss
10y. So every evidence Of their being
legally married wa gone. DR.. and Mrs.
Saunders suddenly came to the conclusion
that for the sake Of their children and es-
tate and In view Of questions arising re-
garding their property they had better have
q perfect record Of their marriage. They
came to the city and got . license to marry
and were again joined in holy bonds Of
wedlock.

In . Hunafed.
The students and their grisettes dance
the cancan to this day, I am told, but they
dance 1t away from the avenues where the
tourists do not inttude. Talking about
the grisettes reminds me that they are q
most peculiar class. Tho French novelists
have told you q great deal about them. Of
course, aud there Is little I can say that
would be new, but from oil that I can
learn they arc certainly peculiar. The
grisette takes to the student and the
student appears to take naturally to the
grisette. She is . shop girl, perhaps, OF
employed in y mandatory, or else she
does sewing orlace making or button COW
erlng OF something at her room. She can
live and that is about all. The student
comeslalong. He wants Q room. That he
must have. He also wants to eat.
The grisette has the room, and, like all
French girls she can cook IL she has the
chance. They strike Q bargain. He will
pay the room rent and furnish the food.
She will mend his clothes. cook for him
and keep the room in order. They agree
to live together. Instances arc rare where
one prove false to the other. They are
man and wife to each other until his col.

is left enough 10 keep her when the separa-

annually lie 700. About Is per cent. Of
these are the remains Of young women.
Do not sneer at these unfortunate little
grisettes. They would marry and become
good wive and mothers, for the most part,
II they could. The young men Of their
class find marriage out Of the question.
The French girls chances Of getting a
husband are about five in o hundred. The
men, not the girls, are to blame. The con-
dition Of French morals IL the prime cause.
Young men are able to find girls who IRE
willing to disregard the marriage ceremony
and may find home for themselves without
going to the trouble Of visiting the matre.
They are able to find girls because the
social conditions are such that an offer Of
assistance in this way may be the only
offer she will ever get. She must live.
Her condition is bettered by the change.
She would have things otherwise IL she
could. Society in Paris does not expect
anything better of her. The people of q
city where $1,000 illegitimate births are
reported every year cannot afford to be too

"Ah, Nora, my little one, I fear we
will have to find a four-leafed clover
before We can he happy. It needs
money to bring happiness in q strait
like ours, and where could we look for
it if the good people themselves did
not bring it?"
@They don't believe in tho little peo-
ple' over there in America, Dermot,
and l have almost forgotten them. I
wish they might help us. I'm sure I've
prayed to the Holy Virgin enough for
II way out of III tronble, and have
never found it. Perhaps the little folks
will. Anyway, I see no way unless I
do find q four-leafed clover"
"None but the pure in heart, and the
unselfish in purpose, eve find it, but,
if those two qualifications would bring
it, surely We might hope"
just at this moment Whiteface,
Nora's favorite COW, came slowly up the
meadow path, and seeing Nora lying
there, she gave o gentle low. It woke
Nora, and she could not at first remem-
Der where she was, and she lay still and
looked around for Dermot, and slowly
she began to realize that she had
dreamed and she rose upon one elbow.
Strange to say, grasped in her right
hand was a tiny tuft Of grass and in the
middle of it, in plain sight, was clover
stem with four distinct leaves growing
out of it.
Wide awake now, yet remembering
her vivid dream, Nora examined her
priceless treasure. There was no mis-
take, but how had it come in her hand?
Reasoners might assert that in her
sleep she had clutched the tuft of grass
in which this clover grew, and that the
whole was superstition, but Nora did
not reason. She simply believed, and
she was sure that in some way, as yet
unknown, all would be made clear and
straight. She knew it was the fairies
who had placed that talisman in her
hand. The rest would come.
She went back home and MIXED the
cows, and did her duties as deftly as
ever, but now she felt herself q privil-
eyed mortal, holding direct and tangi-
BILE gift from the fairies, and her whole
thoughts were thanks to God and the
Virgin for the fairies gift.
Two OF three days passed and moth
ing had. come; still Nora was patient
and her faith great, until one evening
when Mr.. Satterlee came home he, said
to his wife:.

sElsonora Greedy; why?"
sYou remember that cranky old
woman who had the Marsh cottage one
summer when we were in the White
Mountains, don't you?"

Sir Waiter Raleieh and the Queen.

Bad weather held London in its
strong grip, and as her Majesty's state
chair had been sent to the chair shop
to have o new set of springs put in, it
became necessary for the Queen to walk
to Parliament, to leave her regular
morning order for the state executioner.
The gallant Raleigh, who was at that
time occupying the exalted station of
Escort Extraordinary and Gold-Stick-
n-Waiting to the Queen, in accordance
with the duties of his Office, offered his
arm to Elizabeth, and the twain, pre-
coded by six trumpeters, and followed
by three pieces of artillery and q thous-
and small boys, set out in the pouring
rain. As umbrellas had not been in
vented at that period, Raleigh shell
tered himself from the torrent beneath
the waterproof ruff her Majesty wore
about her neck, while Elizabeth was
granted the sole satisfaction for the
soaking she received by ordering the
clerk of the weather to the block. The
journey passed without incident worthy
of note until the party reached the cor
ner opposite the Parliament buildings,
where it was found that u mud-puddle
of extraordinary dimensions puddle
worthy of the Elizabethan age-had
gathered unto itself the larger part Of
the street.
"By my halidom," quoth the Queen,
"but this puddle hath extraordinary
depth! Methinks 'twere we'll that we
return, and defer the executions until
the morrow"
"Not SO, my liegess," said Raleigh,
turning to one of his retainers and
selling his cloak; "'twere better far
that my friend here should sacrifice his
habit to thy necessity. Never shall it
bc said that while a Raleigh stood by,
the Queen of England was baked Of
her determination or wet her ankles in
pursuit of her ambition!"
Saying which, the courtier threw his
retainer's cloak upon the surface of the
puddle, and her Majesty, stepping
lightly upon it, reached the other side
without wetting her feet. Elizabeth
never forgot Raleigh's gallantry but Us
for the retainer who lost his habit, he
likewise lost his head for saying in the
Queens hearing that, "since Raleigh
had so many bad habits, he thought it
hard that he should lose his to demon
strate what a tailor-made courtier Ra-
leigh could he when lie tried"

They All Wear Tights.

These are the very latest" said a de-
mure little girl in a. Fourteenth street dry
goods story yesterday.
The three would-be purchasers raised
their hands in establishment.
"Yes, madam, continued the girl, @they
are becoming very popular; you would be
surprised to learn what a number of nom
professional women are wearing tights just
now"
But my husband is a respectable bust
ness man. Whit would he say to them?"
Il really don't know, madam; but you'll
find silk tights the incest thing 10 wear this
winter"
The lady bought a PAIR Just to try"
and n Of her companions did likewise.
When the customers had taken their de-
partuie o reporter accosted the shop girl:
10 any so-called fashionable women
really wear tights?" he asked, with an un-
businesslike blush, which the girl recipro-
Gated.
Indeed they do. Lots Of women like
them. because they think it is a little bit
racy to wear them. Others are going into
the new, hustle bereft style of clothing at
full tilt, wear tights SO that they can show
off their shape more completely thanin the
old style of underwear.
"You don't say sol" gaspedthe astounded
reporter.
Don't I, though? Why, I have q pair
on myself this moment"

How to Help Your Digestion.

ct NOra's heels ct these times like : lit
tie dog till Nora would take her mp and
rock her to sleep.
This day she had received three let
ters from home, but abe seemed o tribe
out Of sorts Is she looked them over
and missed one that she seemed to
think ought to have been there, and
after dinner was over aud all her work
done, and the baby asleep on the wide
lounge. Nora went to the meadow
through which ran . little brook, and
where the clover was 80 sweet and lux
uriant that one almost wished to 10 .
COW, to revel in its juicy sweetness.
Morn sat down by the side Of the tiny
brook, and took her letters from her
pocket and read them. One was from
her father, one from o cousin, and
from her sister, who wa . widow.
Nora's eyes filed as she read the
same old story of wrong, oppression
and abuse, and she read with flashing
eyes of the coarse brutality Of the
agents who had turned out Of doors
friends, relatives and playmates, always
the same, and no redress. And now
Nora's father wrote that Dermot Kelly's
father and family were all TO be evicted
from the land where they had lived 90
many generations, and poor Dermot
had just finished his studies and was
about to begin the practice Of medi-
cine, but now this trouble would set
him back perhaps for years; and the
letter ended by thanking her for all she
had done for them, and sending bless
ings without end upon her for q dutiful
daughter, and in q postscript he added
that he hoped she would not be too
much discouraged by Dermot's trouble,
nor tire Of waiting for him.
"No, that I won't, until I am tired Of
living. Poor Dermot! I wish he was
here. It's hard getting along in Ire
land, now; but. oh, whatcan I do more
than I'm doing? I send them every
thing I CON spare, and 1t seems so little,
There's no one else that could do any
thing, if they were here, to help the
others, or even themselves. All, we'll.
we are all born to suffer, and if it sthe
| will Of God we must bear it. This Isl
sad day for me-"
And here Nora laid her face dowr
among the clover and cried, not wildly
and boisterously, but patiently and
YEARLY, until finally, worn out with
emotion, she fell into an easy slumber,
which grew sweeter and sounder, until
finally she dreamed.
She dreamed that she was back in
her old home, that everything was just
as it used to be. She saw her mothe,
in her short gown and petticoat trot
ting about as usual, hunting for stray
bits of dust on her spotless belongings
saw her father at work about his littl,
farm, saw her sick sister, with her tw,
orphan children, and last and sweetes
of all, she saw Dermot.
He came walking up the lane witt
his elastic, strong steps, and she fell
her heart beat with delight as he cam,
and took her hands in his, and bent hi
handsome dark eyes full into hers
And then they walked along the patl
that led down to meadow and orch
ard, and there they sat down and talke'
over their future.

supper we will have her In here and tell
her u her good fortune"
SO, when all was quiet, Nora was
called in and told Of her good fortune.
She did not seem as much astonished
Is Mr.. and Mrs. Satterlee thought the
case warranted, still they argued per-
haps il was surprise that kept her 20
silent.
Said her mistress:
money you will not grow to be misery
or avaricious, IS that poor, lonely old
woman did. II Is . very unlovely
habit, and one likely to make you very
unhappy II you allow II to overcome
you. I have often noticed in you .

Thought that probably you were trying
to lay up something toward . home Of
your own some day, or at least some
thing for the future; but now that with
care your future is provided for, / feel
it my duty to tell you that money was
made for reasonable use, not for miserly
hoardings, and you must be careful or
the habit will grow upon you"
~, ma'am? II" said Nora, aghast.
Then suddenly she put her hand in her
pocket and in silence handed her mis-
tress her fathers letter. A few mo-
meMts sufficed to show that for all these
seven years faithful, self sacrificing
Nora had been sending almost the
whole of her wages to her parents, in
Ireland. who would have starved but
for her.
Mrs. Satterlee broke down and threw
herself first into her good husbands
arms and then into Nora's, like the inn
FASHIONED little woman she was, and
the two women, one mistress and the
other servant, cried together, for they
knew that they must. separate. Nora'a
duty now lay at home in ireland, as il
had kept her in this country, and
though she felt as if she was suffering
q loss that could never he repaired,
Mrs. Satterlee helped Nora with all her
heart, SO that she should go to he,
home at the earliest moment and as we'll.
dressed rs she could be prevailed upon
to dress.
Thanks to her associations, Nora was
in every way as lady-like in her man.
ner as any physician could desire his
wife to be. And Dermot was a proud
and happy man when his precious,
faithful Nora was in his arms.
The poor old parents, and the whole
of her acquaintances, indeed, were the
sharers in the little heritage Nora had
received, but it seems Us if the four
leafed clover has not yet lost its virtues
for the whole tribe, even to the seventh
cousin, have prospered since Nora CAM
back to Ireland.
Dermot believes with Nora that ther.
was eallysomething supernatural abou
the manner in which she received tina
wonderful talisman, and they preserv'
it religiously; and Dermot repeats, a
i she dreamed he did: sNone but tn,
!. pure in heart and the unselfsh in pun

deserved his praise, even Us she did til
