all to'herself and heirs, so she was
only taking possession of it little
sooner than would otherwise have
been the case.
Before John went away he asked
Mrs Boyd's consent TO his marriage
with Rose, and received her stern and
uncompromising refusal. She would
accept the property, for her father
had lawfully left IL to her, but no con-
nection should there ever be between
Arthur Middleton's family and hers.
Never until she died.
With the return of prosperity the
hardness in which she had steeled
herself remained, and only on that
one occasion had she broken down
since the day she was turned from
her fathers door. And then it was
the knowledge that that father had
forgiven her before he died, and not
the knowledge of her Cousins gem
erosity, that had caused it. But did
no pity stir within her at the sight of
Roses pale face and listless ways?
did she not feel powerless sometimes
to supply the happiness she had
sternly trodden out of her life2
She never gave sign of it. Broken
down by life Of hardships and
privation, before another winter
came, on the threshold of prosperity,
an attack Of paralysis had struck her
down, and sterner, more unforgiving
than her proud father, she gave up
her life, clinging unilinchingly to her
determination.
John and Rose were married
month after. They left old Chloe in
undisputed possession of the "liberry
wing" with q comfortable support
for life, and set sail for the, to Rose,
unknown wonders of the old country,
which seemed to open before them
both world Of life and light at last.
The Washington critic., 1888-03-10
HEARTS EASE.

'How kind II was" she said ITO lay
Knots of fresh hearts ease on her
breast
The, flower Of flowers she loved the
best
Nov that her life has passed away
Into the life of perfect rest"
The story of her brief, bright years
Seems written on the blossoms face;
Persistent sunshine, buoyant grace,
Where not fleok of gloom or tears,
Could leave the lightest shadow trace.
SO, through her springtime, dewy glad,
| The velvet leaves of character
Unfolded with no marring blur;
She doubled every joy had,
Because the joy was shared with her.
Whatever gust of trial came,
My soul would rouse itself and take
New courage on, intent to make
Smooth passage for the fragile frame,
Eourting the sunshine for her sake.
I could not bear that she should link
Sad memories with this life of ours;
/ And while l watched her waning pow
A erg
I led her smiling TO the brink
Or heaven, along path of flowers.
"My hearts ase2"-(and the quiet flow
OF tears came faster than before)--
"Gone henceward to the farther shore !
And yet, IL breaks my heart to know
She needs my love and care no more"

New York Mail and Express.
Take the case of one Of this seasons
debutantes sitting down for Lenten
meditation amid the wreck Of muslins
and the crash Of tulles considering
the transitory nature of all things
earthly-and the need Of q new Easter
wardrobe.
Reckon the number of swell dances
10 which she has been, divide the
number by two and you have the
number of tulle gowns she has had
Multiply 200 by the number of tulle
gowns, and you have the approximate
cost of the tulle gowns. Simplicity is
the inhexible rule for the debutante.
Yes, and white tulle is cheap by the
yard But to each tulle gown goes a
silk slip and skirt upon skirt of
tulle, one outside another, ballet
dress fashion, until the requisite
airy, delicate, butterfly appear
ance is produced, Add ribbon, sash,
gloves, ETC., and there is your 5000.
One crush, two average dances, three
small affairs with care and the tulle
say, for q winters beginning. Reckon
for other more or less formal occasions
three or four other white gowns. There
has been very probably an embroid-
cred India muslin, a gown of ivory
cloth with delicate tracery of gold, a
soft white silk of some description and
may be dotted net overskirt. These
come to from $500 to 500 more. The
debutante has been to several afternoon
teas. That means a couple of plain
petticoats, one in copper color, the
other in cadet blue, say, with draperies
and bodices OF Lincoln green and
French gray. Put down 5000.
The debutante has been walk
ing and calling. That means
couple of tailor gowns. Put down
$3.50. She has been to the theatre.
That means very possibly something
in silk the color of q wild rose petal;
loose wrinkled waist, the folds meet
ing in point in front setting off the
girlish slimness. Pink satin ribbon
fastened on the left shoulder with q
Marguerite clasp, carried under the
right arm, then hanging loose with
lace fan dangling from the end;
string of pearls about the throat, pink
bonnet. Put down S125. An after
noon reception costume, a dinner
dress, lace gown or two for all sorts
of wear, nondescript useful gowns.
Put down $500. The bills mount up
and yet no mention has been made of
hats, bonnets, wraps, jackets, coats,
parasols, underwear, shoes, gloves,
laces, etc. Put down not less than
looks q high price for winters en-

A TALE OF TWO TRUNKS.
How New York Belle Missed a
Washington Dinner Party.

How New York Belle Missed
Washington Dinner Party.
While lounging around one of the
creat railway stations, the other day,
!, New York Times reporter was an in
terested observer of the lifting of huge
sample trunks and saratogas by
porters of great strength and angelic
disposition, all working under the
watchful eye of the baggage.master
Everybody who travels knows how
nearly perfect the American system
of checking baggage is, but the re-
porter thought, as he gazed at the pile
of baggage that was collecting, that
it would be worth while to ask how
many times in year trunks went
astray. The baggage-master said
there were so few cases of this kind
that they We're hardly worth record
ing, "but," said he, 81 will tell you
of one funny incident that came under
my observation not more than two
months ago.
"a New York young lady came in
here with her father to check an
enormous trunk. She got her check
and then followed poor immigrant
girl with small, queerlooking box,
waiting to be taken care Of. gave
her a check and the whole matter
slipped out of my mind until was
brought face to face with it again by
the handsome young lady / spoke Of.
She had gone to Washington armed
for conquest. When she reached
her destination q trunk followed her,
but it was not her trunk. 1t was
the immigrant girls, and the young
lady told me angrily that, as she
could not appear at the dinner
party for which she made the
trip in her travelling duster, and
as the wooden petticoats and red
shawls Of the immigrant girl were
not becoming to her, she had been
compelled to return TO New York. 1t
was too bad. One of her prettiest
gowns was in the missing trunk, be-
side complete outfit of lovely femi-
nine articles of wearing apparel, and
/ felt very mean about it.
"Well, we sent tracers after that
trunk, and in about three weeks word
came that the immigrant girl had it
ont in Kansas and was mourning for
the chestful of familiar garments
which she thought she would never
see again. In due time the woolens
and shawls reached the immigrant
and the laces and silks were re-
turned to the New York belle. But
the dinner party which she missed
was lost forever

LINCoLN'S EARLY LIFE.
Some New Stories About 1t BY One of
the Presidents Old Friends.


the Presidents Old Friends.
Vlroqua Qll.) Censor: There does
not live in the United States to-day
one who was so actively associated
with the martyred Lincoln as John
White, who lives down the Bishop
Branch, town Of Viroqua. While in
the Censor Office the other day Mr..
White related many amusing Incl
dents Of his boyhood daysin Illinois,
where he and Lincoln were fast
friends, split rails, did surveying and
went to husking bees together. Lin
coin was his senior by a number of
years, and for that reason the every
act OF the lamented President re-
mains fresh in the memory of Mr..
White. II remember well, said he,
when the bully of Sangamon
County, induced by some good
natured wag, came to the spot where
we were Chopping rails and chal-
lenged Abe to prize-fight. The
great, brawny, awkward boy laughed
and drawled out Il reckon, stranger,
you're arter the wrong man. ! never
tit in my whole life
"But the bully made for Abe and
the first fall Lincoln came down on
top of the heap. The champion was
bruising and causing blood to flow
down Lincoln's face when happy
mode of warfare entered his original
brain. He quickly thrust his hands
into a convenient bunch of smart
weed and rubbed the same in the eyes
of his opponent, who almost in
stantly begged for mercy. He was
released, but his sight for the time
being was extinct. No member of
the trio possessed a pocket handker-
chief, so Lincoln, with usual original
ity, tore from his own shirtfront the
surplus cloth, washed and bandaged
the fellows optics and sent him
home. was also present at the first
lawsuit he ever conducted in justice
court. Here served him well the in
eXhaustible supply of original ideas
and ways which characterized his
past and future life. In boyhood
days he was as true to his friends as
his great career proved him to be to
his country ~
