AN ODD INSCRIPTION.

A Work of Thackeray's Made Doub1y valu-
able by the Fly Leaf.
Pail Mall Budget.l
An uncut copy of Thackeray's ''Virgin-
ians," in the original boards, was sold at
sotheby's for $50, the buyer being Mr..
Harvey, of Pail Mall. No doubt (says a
correspondent, its value was immensely
enhanced by the circumstance that it con
tanned the following inscription in the hand
writing of the author:
In the U. States and in the Queens domin-
ions
All people have q right to their opinions,
And many don't much relish 'The Vir-
ginians."
Peruse my book, dear R.; and if you find it
A little to your taste, hope you'll bind it.
Peter Rackham, Esqre., with the best re-
CARDS of the Author.
'Dear R." however, refrained from bind
ing his authors presentation copy, much to
the Joy of the modern collector.

We are making fanciful collarettes and
fichus en- suike with our chapeaux, cunning
amalgamatio1n of lace and flowers, that re-
call the head covering, whether it be toque
or hat, and serve at the same time to COM

drapery of chantilly fastened by bouquets
of lilac, there high frill of lace by cor
don of buttercups or cowslips. One tichu
of black tulle is studded with violets, an
other with "crimson-tipped' daisies; and
each has not only toque to match but also
a sunshade-a dome of tulle strewn and

Surprised That His Hair Wasn't Gray.

Surprised That His Hair Wasn't Gray.
When they had gone Mr.. Henderson
seized hand mirror, and was surprised to
find that his hair was not gray. He had at
tempted denial once more, but had been met
by a smiling confidence in his genius which
had fairly rendered him speechless. All
that night he paced the floor of his study,
trying to think of two words in the entire
language that rhymed with each other.
Early in the morning he called at the Hig-
gins house and learned with two-fold sorrow
that Miss Martha was still failing.
He wandered up into the cemetery in the
afternoon and tried to get inspiration from
solemn contemplation of the epitaphs, but
other sleepless night in his study, without
getting an idea, except that he should like
to write an obituary for the unknown H. F.
in hard, metallic prose. The next day he
received call from the editor of the Leader,
who simply visited to say that he went to
press at / p NJ every Thursday and couldn't
hold the forms more than an hour even for
poem by H. F. Mr.. Henderson felt that
his mind was breaking down under the
strain.
Precipitately Fled the Town.
About o'clock in the afternoon he
learned that Miss Martha was not expected
to survive the night; and at 9 in the even
ing he had packed up his small possessions
and had quietly fled the town. There was q
tremendous sensation when the news had
percolated through the channels of Pen
sionsville gossip. Israel Bridges, the
only man who knew the reason, had to
fasten his lips with clothespin in order to
keep his vow to me. In the midst of all the
excitement the editor of the Leader got an
idea. He began to search old newspaper
files in musty garrets, and at last unearthed
the lines which had been the cause of all
the trouble With this proof in his hand,
he had no hesitation in publishing to the
world through the columns of the Leader,
the full story of the 'piracy, disgrace and
flight of the Rev. Harold Henderson"
Poor fellow, have learned that he has
entered the foreign missionary field, and
departed for the scene of his labors. 1t is
so far away that, although Mr.. Henderson
is very large, strong man, have felt that
1 could unburden my conscience by confess
sion. His sad story affects me even more
deeply because learned from a late issue
of the Leader that Miss Martha has fully re-
covered. HOWARD FIELDING.

PIRACY OF A POEM.

have been guilty of literary piracy, and
punishment has followed the crime. 1t al
ways does. The moral law which exacts
suffering as the price of sin has not the
elastic nature of an excise statute. 1t is en-
forced. So there is nothing novel in this
case. Indeed it is made entirely common
place by the fact that the punishment has
fallen not upon me, the sinner, but upon
the Rev. Harold Henderson, a good man,
whom respect, but shall endeavor in the
future to avoid.
While was the principal villain in this
affair, the primary fault is chargeable either
to Mrs Betsy Bridges or to DR.. Lemuel
Baker. will not presume to say which
should bear the blame. DR.. Baker was
Betsy's physician, and Betsy died; and her
death was the beginning of our sorrow. The
sad event occurred in the town of Pension
vile, O., where 1 was visiting some rela-
tiYes few months ago. Pensionville was
one of the few towns in the United States to
which my fame had not penetrated to any
great extent.
Only One Man Knew the Secret.
I think old Israel Bridges was the only
man in the place who knew that made a
living by selling masterpieces of literature
at popular prices My relatives had heard
reports to that effect, but they had only
sc6fed and said: "Howdy Fielding write
anything? Good gracious, we knew him
when he was little tow-headed, bow-leg-
ged gawk!'
When Israel Bridges was suddenly made
a widower he had an inspiration that some

Something Like DR.. BothwelIS Case.

There was case at the Massachusetts
General Hospital some years ago Of person
who swallowed large pin which lodged in
the trachea. This pin was taken out by DIR.
Bigelow by opening the trachea, but DR..
Bigelow himself was very much disinclined
to take any credit to himself for the work,
because, he said, it was the merest accident
that saved the patients life.

his peculiar virtues to Henderson. The
paper from which I copied them was yellow
with, age. At any rate, Henderson was so
persistently accused of their authorship that
at last he only shook his head and smiled
when they were mentioned Meanwhile I
got out of town. Bridges kept my secret
well; was not suspected.
No Peace for the Preacher.
Doubtless the Rev. Mr.. Henderson sup
posed that the obituary poem would soon
be forgotten, but it wasn't. 1t made such
an impression upon some of the chronic in
yaIids of the town that they were impatient
to have an affectionate tribute of that sort
written about themselves. Meanwhile the
esteem in which his flock (and especially
the eve lambs thereof held Mr.. Henderson
had been doubled by the recognition of his
literary genius. 1t had never been sus-
pected before, and no wonder, for he was
the most unromantic, practical, matter-of-
fact man that L ever met. Instead of writ
ing obituary poetry for bereaved family,
it was his way to call and assure himself
that the children had enough to eat, and
somebody to wash their faces in the morning.
But after this dishonest effort of mine to con-
sole Mr.. Bridges with ink, the women discov-
cred new evidences of poetic tempera-
ment in their beloved pastor every day.
Some of them wrote verses to him, and
asked his opinion of their efforts with such
fiattering confidence in his literary good
taste that he could not find it in his heart to
withhold a praise, for the falsity of which
he asked forgiveness nightly. The col
umns of the Leader were crowded with
s'Lines to H. F." "Stanzas to II. F.,
Thoughts on contemplating the genius of
H. F., f" and outpourings of the soul. Mr..
Henderson could not quote poetry in his
sermons without being suspected of
having written it; and in a general
the genius which 1 had stolen from my
grandmother's scrapbook.

Mrs. Bridges the Rev. Mr.. Fenderson's

nearly as ugly and quite as incongruous.
Taste resides almost entirely in the har-
mony and simplicity of line; beauty, in the
human 70 m itself, not in base caricature
of NATURES handiworl. How is ii possible
for taste to manifest itself and beauty to ex-
list, with such a hideous excresence beneath?
Look at the women of to-day in dresses
that would, but do not, disguise the grace
full outline of their figures. The present
style of garb q am sure youwill agree with
me) is infinitely becoming, and {, a,l proud
to think that 1 have done a great deal to-
ward bringing it into vogue. Every inch of
superabundant drapery is a mistake in my
eyes, ana all trimmings which have not, as
1t were, their raisOn d'etre ought to be
tabooed. You viii think it strange for me
to say so; but L would rather see a woman
clothed in the plainest gown run up by her
maid, than clad in the complicated arrange
ments in fashion some years since.

An oculist, in speaking of the merits Of
the vayious kinds of light, says that most
persons like the electric light better when it
is new, as it is then whittier and more
brilliant than it is after being used for few
weeks. He considers this mistake, as it is
the dazzling white light that harms the eve,
and he enlOins the use of a light that has
changed to a pale yellow, which is the ideal
color. just as in monday brightness,
