sweet hope, which had given her cour.
age through SIX long years. began to
vanish.
"Ifhe should not come, all will be
lost indeed !'she sighed, and she could
not restrain the tears which welled
from her full heart.
As the clock strnck IL. Mrs. Or
man began to gather her things about
her to retire. Celestine came to assist
her. The father still rested his tired
and perplezed head upon the DESK
Celestine had given up the watch and
banished the hope and longed to reach
her own little room, where she might
weep herself into forgetfulness of her
pert up grief and crushing disappoiut-
mcnt.
And then the little bell rang!
Mr.. Orman started up and exclaim.
ed whats that but, without waiting
for an answer, want to the door. In u
few moments he returned. A tall,
clean shaven man followed him.
"Mr. Vance" said he.
Celestine uttered wild shrek, and
as she fell upon the bosom of her return.
ed loved one she lost consciousness for
moment. The anxiety had told up.
OH her, when the meeting Game she was
not strong enough to sustain it.
When she regained consciousness ex.
plantations were in order. These were
given in a frank, manly fashion, and
then Mr.. Orman joined their bands to-
gether and said:
my children, receive my blessing.
l confess wronged Mr.. Vance"
Mr.. Orman began business as a bank
er again in the growing western city
where Ernest Vance had gone and pros
pered as a lawyer beyond his expecta
tions. He had been two years the dis
trict attorney of his county, and was
sure OF being elected to congress. AS
silent partner in the Orman bank he
directed the investments with shire wd-
ness values which his long residence at
W-had given him.
And Celestinc, she is the pride and
the idol of Ernest Vance's heart. All
things come to those who wait, and af-
ter many years all she hoped for came
| to her.

$elttt Qottrp,
I'VE BEEN THINKING.

I've been thinking, I've been thinking,
What a glorious world were this,
Did folks mind their business more,
And mind their neighbOrs' less:
For instance. you and my friend,
Are sadly prone to talk
or matters that concern us not,
And others tollics mock.
I've been thinking if We begin
TO mend our own affairs,
That possibly our neighbors might
C0ntrivc to manage theirs.
Wc'yc faults enough at home to mend
1t may be so Of others,
1t would seem strange if it were not
Since all mankind are brothers.
Oh would that we had charity
For every man and woman;
Forgiveness is the mark Of those
We know "to err is human
Then let us Danish jealousy.
Let's lift our fallen brother,
And as we journey down lifu's road,
Do good to one another.

Watching the fish hawks Is a constant
source of delight to the people at the New
Jersey coast resorts. From Sandy Hook
to Barnegat these birds are as familiar as
robins are to inland folk. They are of
the eagle family, and though slightly
smaller than the national bald head, are
very much like him. Though birds of
prey, they are far more tame than crows
in some respects, notably in the fact that
they build their nests in the most con-
spicuous trees, often those which stand
alone in pasture land. Whatever tree
they build in Is certain to die. The phos-
phorous or some other property in the
bits and bones of fish they drop kills the
roots of whatever tree they inhabit. The
birds are fond of the Shrewsbury, at Red
Bank, and there Is seldom a moment
during daylight when they are not to be
seen lowering over the river. They are
able to see n fish in the water from a
considerable height, and, seeing it, they
close their wings and drop like a bullet.
They strike the water with q great splash
and disappear under it, but only to rise
in a second or two grasping q fish in
their talons. Just now travellers along
the roads Of Monmouth county can sec
the heads of the ospey's babies over the
tops of the big nests in the dead trees.
The Jerseymen are superstitious about
killing them; indeed, no one ever hurts
n fish hawk.-New York Sun.

'Is there any powder which can be.put

detect" was the reply.
is the use of cosmetics increasingly"
was h question put TO the proprietor.
Certainly 1t is" he said. IAN sorts
OF women use complexion remedies. We
don't have much TO do with the stage
people, who have their own ways of
making up, but every other sort of wo-
nan comes here. In the winter we make
up even buds in their first season, when
they haven't bloom enough for a ball
room. The washes and enamels come in
play then. In summer women
who have been shopping step in
to get a dash of powder SO rs not to go
home to dinner in perspiration. Some
times n of u attendants Is sent for
post haste TO a fashionable watering place
to make up a regular customer for a hop
or to repair damages after n yachting
day in the wind. Shop girls make up
quite generally. i don't believe their EN-
ployers require it, as some say, but they
powder and rouge as much as society
folks. No, we don't often use cosmetics
on children, though once in a while there
Is a call for that sort of thing in prepara-
ton for a child's party or ball. There is
N little tot Of 0, whose mother is a rich
widow, and terribly disappointed because
the child hasn't inherited her beauty, who
is brought here to be made up about as
often as children's festivities go on.'-

A Turkish Lnmplightor.

This functionary is a tall and gaunt
old Mussulman, with a fierce mustache,
an embroidered scarlet jacket and a huge
~''fustanelle." He carries a ladder, a box
of lucifer matches and a huge green cot
ton umbrella. He plants his ladder
against the wooden post, on the top of
which a common tin lamp is ~insecurely
fastened, and taking of the glass Chin
ney opens his umbrella to keep off the
wind. The handle of the umbrella is
tucked under his arm, and then balanc-
ing himself on the rickety ladder he pro-
ceeds to strike a light with his lucifers,
carefully protecting the suffering flame
with both his hands. Naturally this is a
slow process and by the time the dozen
lamps are lighted everybody is safe at
home, for the citizens do not go out at
night, but retire to rest at a very early
hour.-Al the Year Round.

Tho Impulse to Write.

AS to authorship itself, I believe n
writer should have a natural impulse TO
write, just rs the bird has a natural de-
sire to sing. This impulse comes from a
great variety of motives. If it is a mere
sentiment, OIL a petty ambition TO see his
name in print, why. he will write his
book, the public will give its verdict and
there viii soon be an end of 1t, Among
all this throng of writers one will be
found here and there who will have the
power to interest, win and hold an audi
n No n can pick out the man or
mi who will do that; the writers
themselves do not know how it will be;
they must make the trial before they can
know whether they will succeed or not.
Young writers should rely ON the liter
airy judgment Of honest friends, and not
ask busy authors with whom they are
not acquainted to c~riticise their manu-
scripts, us many of them now do.-E. P.
