Her Lesson.

Mary Roden, for a girl of seventeen,
had led an eventful life. The princi.
pals Of two boarding schools to which
her mother had sent her had quietly re-
quested Mrs. Roden to remove her
daughter, alleging that her devotion to
dress and Irritation made it impossible
to teach her anything, and that her in
iuence on the other girls was harmful.
Mary, at home, followed, unre-
strained, her own %inclinations. She
was engaged in one winter to two Soph-
ignores at college, and to the druggists
clerk.
In the summer her mother took her
to a watering-place in the neighborhood.
They arrived at night. Early in the
morning Mary rose full of delight IN
coming triumphs. Had she not a dozen
new, pretty gowns? Was not the hotel
full Of young men with whom sha conld
Hirt?
To do the girl justice, her worst fault
wa an eager desire for admiration, and
she had never realized how far this had
led her.
AS she stood at her window this
morning she saw a flock OF sheep on the
green meadow below, among which
were some spotless lambs. The purity
and innocence touched her; she leaned
out eagerly to watch them just as they
ran down to a stream. and Jumped and
played IL the mud of the bank.
Silly creatures!" she cried. apprilv.
i make yourselves hideous jus: Tor a
minutes fun?"
: At that moment a group Of young
men came on the porch below, talking
loudly. She heard her own name.
Pretty girl" said one. I'll drive
her out to-day
She will not go with You alone

oh yes, she will. She is the fastest
girl in c.. It was she who went on
that lark to town with George Buggy.

Il will tell my sisters not to notice
her. SAID the second speaker. They
liked her appearance last night. and
meant to take her into their set.
No. no! That would v do.
Mary sank into a seat, burning tears
OF shame starting in her ewes.
In her heart she knew that she was
innocent and pure: Had her vanity,
nef love OF %"tnn,' brought disgrace
upon her? Disgrace that could never

'sGreat Man,

Among the lawyers of Boston who
knew the late Rufus Choate there are
many stories told OF his wit and his
cl%everness which have escaped his
hiographers, although they are cutie as
Characteristic OF the man as MANY
things which are preserved with the ut-
most care.
Many of these anecdotes hear upon
his personal peculiarities, and not a few
have reference to that handwriting
which was so marvelously bad tina. i
seems impossible that any u should
ever have been able to IecipAer its
crooked hieroglyphies.
1t is said that upon one occasion Mr..
George Iicknor, tie well.known au-
thorlty upon Spanish literature, hap
pened to sit beside Mr.. Choate in the
court room when the latter was bend
ing his brows Over a bit Of his own
manuscript which he evidently found il
pretty hard to decipher.
Mr.. Choate," the other said, Il have
a manuscript at home OF which the
writing closely resembles yours"
"Ah," Mr.. Choate responded: "wbo
wrote it?"
Philip II. OF Spain"
"Ah!" said MI. Choate again, Great
man, Phillip H." Then he added with
that twinkle in his eye which was so If.
reslstible, Great man much in advance
of his time"

Tabor Knew Elslnere.

A new story comes to the front about
ex-senator Tabor of Colorado, says the
Washington Post. During the Sena-
torial contest which resulted in the
election of Ed Wolcott, Tabor was VIC.
lently opposed to the formers election.
A gentleman from the East called on
Tabor and found the ex-senator going
over a list OF the members of the Legis-
lature. The Eastern gentleman had
some business with Tabor. and when
through with it he thought he would en-
gage in a general conversation, and
having just read the much-talked-of
latest publication, he said to Tabor:
"senator. what do you think of Robert
Elsmere q"
4Elsmere?" said Tabor; "oh, Wolcott
bought and paid for that id scoun-
drel three months ago. No use trying
to do anything with Him."
