What Il Was.

The fair girl sat in her boudoir at he,
ebony escretoire writing letter. She
showed every sign of suppressed emo
ton, and her pen raced over the paper
as if it would win by dozen lengths
She muttered to herself at times as II
her anger were too much for silence,
and her face was flushed, as If she were
burning with fever. At last the
letter was finished, and when she
had sealed 1t she slapped it down on
the desk with such force that the mag
nificent inkstand of bronze and silver
fell to the floor with crash, shivered
into hundred fragments.
The girls mother in the room below
heard the noise and ran frightened into
the hall.
"Oh, 1mogene," she called, in breath
less eagerness, what was that?"
Nothing, mamma" replied the girl
going to the door.
but / heard terrific crash the
mother insisted. Didn't you break
Eyes, mamma. It was only nv en-.
gagement with Mr.. Hackenberry," and
the fair Imogene returned to her escre.
toire and stuck stamp on the fatal
letter.-Detroit Free Press.

Gomez calisd Ma Fenton, gayly
pulling her husband up from the sofa,
They went and by tacit consent the
days doings dropped out Of the CONVEX
sation.
James Fenton slept the sleep Of q
penitent sinner that night, and the
morrow restored the old regime. But
the seed sown had dropped into good
ground, and the next Sunday morning
the head of the housekeeping depart
ment was mysteriously long over her
toilet When she emerged at length
she was vision of gored skirt, huge
sleeves, smart cape, wide bowed
bonnet, new boots and gloves. Her
hair shone like satin and as for her
figure it was as trim and trig az q
fashion plate. Mr.. Fenton opened his
mouth and shut It again. He was
dumb. But the children shrieked
with delight and pirouetted around
the dazzling apparition and curiosity.
Il say, isn't mamma daisy?" cried
Tommy, tossing his hat into the air.
Mable crept mp timidly, fingered the
fold Of . fiaring skirt and, looking up
into her mothers vivid face, said, hes
itatingly:
Are you pretty, mammal"
mo, dear" answered Mary Fenton,
demurely, "but am well groomed and
| possess very great charm"
There was small pile of oils on
Mr.. Fenton's desk the first q the
month. He counted up the total with
! sigh, made out q check and wrote to
The Fishing club that he could not
AXE the trip with them after all.
Then he went round to the Office Of the
evening Comet and stopped his sub
cription to that unfortunate newspa-
Herald.

Origin of y Story Attributed to Twenty
Handsome Women.
Lady Harriet D'Orsay was really, &C
cording to Mr.. Sala, in his reminis-
cences published recently, the heroine
of story which has been told in at
least twenty forms of twenty different
| ladies of fashion. She was presiding
| at stall at a vente de charlie, or
bazaar, held in aid of the fund ct some
asylum or another, when there came
up the duke Of Orleans, son and heir Of
King Louis Philippe. The duke, after
some polite small talk, began to extol
the beauty Of her hair, and, indeed,
her Henrietta Marie couture had never
looked glossier and softer than it did
this day.
''Oh!" said his royal highness, III I
could only possess one Of those en-
chanting ringletsl"
How much would monseigneur give
for one% asked Lady Harriet, gravely;
five thousand francsp"
Five thousand francs" repeated the
duke; "a mere bagatelle."
''Six Thousand francs?"
Anything SO charming lady chose
to ask
II will not be extortionate, pursued
Lady Harriet; 1--WE will say five thou
sand"
And then she very composedly pro-
duced dainty little pair of scissors,
shipped off the adorable Henrietta
Maria ringlet, wrapped it in silver
paper and handed it with dignity to
the duke. His royal highness looked |
very straight down his nose, and, re-
turning Lady Harret's salute, stalked
somewhat gloomily away. But his
privy purse duly forwarded the money
next day.-Philadelphia Press.

Water, and air. and sod,

Has flowed from the hand Of GOO

On stormy mountain height
He makcs him harp Of the forest
He sweeps the chords with mignE
He puts forth His hand 10 the ocean'
He speaks and the waters flow
Now In chorus OF thunder.
Now In cadence low.
He touches the waving flower bells
He plays on the woodland streans-
A tender song. like O mother
Sings to her child In drcam&
But the music divinest and deafesA
Since ever the world began.
