4 N0velist,s Recollections II Days When
Women Were All Queens.
Why il it, I wonder, that we come
into the world SO i'll equipped for its ex-
ploration? It seems to me. as / look back
upon my youth, that, in q certain way,
my senses were fresher and keener then
than they are now. And yet they were
continually-particularly in the matter
Of girls-playing the most unwarrant-
able pranks on me. Some alien fluid, Of
en- intense and fiery kind, got mixed
with them and made them subject to all
sorts Of unaccountable alterations.
1t is o notorious fact that an electric
current will make the most excellent
compass behave in an irresponsible fash
ion. And yet, though the disturbing
fluid which made my compass worthless
was nearly always there, it has guided
me somehow with tolerable safety q
long distance across the trackless main.
And I am not by any means sure that l
would exchange it for q truer instru-
ment. subject to fewer alterations. For
l take this very sensitiveness to electric
influences to be . proof Of it's exceeding
fneness and excellence. Life would be
q horrible dreary affair If these magnetic
currents which make the needle tremble
and swerve were banished or nonexist-
emit. The dull. dead, stupid sanity
which has no sympathy with folly and
no CLEAN Of potential madness is no
doubt q stanch and reliable rudder, but
l cannot forbear questioning whether to
the soul thus equipped the voyage is
worth making.
Ulysses Of old, middle aged though
he was, had to stuff his ears with wax
lest he steer his ship into the jaws Of
perdition, when the sirens sang SO deli
ciously, and he did not exactly cover
himself with glory during his visits to
Circe and Calypso. But what very red
blood he had, and how humanely his
heart beat in every u Of his manifold
adventures! He never, like his ship
mates, became q swain, and how noble
and manly was his bearing in the pres
ence Of the lovely Nausicaa!
There Is something almost touching
to me in seeing the same sentiment
which stirs my own bosom recorded
thousands of years ago. And, truth to
tell, the man whose pulse is subject to
no irregularities and whose Judgment
registers nc alterations in the presence
Of a beautiful woman is, IN my opinion,
"ft for treasons. s~tratagems and spoils."

Cardinal Mezzofanti had q memory
little short of miraculous. DR.. Russell,
his ~biographer, says that the cardinal
spoke with the greatest ease 30 Ian
guages; that he spoke fairly we'll 9;
that he used occasionally, but not
with any fuency, IL more; that he
spoke imperfectly s, and that he
could read IL more. Taking, in addi-
ton, the number Of dialects he used,
some SO diverse from the mother tongue
as to constitute a different language,
Dr.. Russell says that the cardinal was
master of no less than Ill different Ian
guages and dialects. His German was
SO excellent that he was taken for a ma
tive Of Germany. while his French and
English were equally pure. DR.. Tholuck
heard him converse in German, Arabic,
Spanish. Flemish, English, Latin,
Greek, Swedish and Portuguese at one
Of the pope's receptions, and afterward
Mezzofanti gave him an original poem
in Persian and left him to take a lesson
in Cornish. He knew several of the
American Indian languages and nearly
all the dialects of India.

Society No Longer Visits.

Calls having become in our busy life
Of great cities so perfunctory an obliga-
tion, many people have seen fit to drop

leaving of cards in person only, and so
visiting for forms sake is drifting out
of vogue. So we'll is the difficulty of &C.

each other to strict account if a season

Rich Girls Oppressed With Wealth Should

My cousin Anthony has been in to
tell me of his betrothal of his son Ajax
to a young woman of exceptionally vol
luminous financial prospects, Ny cousin
is not himself q man Of large means,
and his children's fortunes are still to
be made. Nevertheless it was not with
out an air Of depreciation and symptoms
of rneasiness that he told me what Ajax
had done.
But, I said, seeing Anthony growing
solemn, somebody must marry the rich
girls. There might be enough rich young
men to pair of with them il all the rich
bachelors were available, but as long as
a large percentage Of the rich bachelors
insist ON marrying poor girls there is nc
choice but for some rich girls to marry
poor men or none. And, after all, if a
girl is truly q nice girl, it would be a
shame to avoid her because Of her for.
tune. When I was young, I told him, ]
had really loved q girl, and she had
loved me-. and had she been of age or an
orphan / would have married her if she
had owned all New York between Canal
street and Central park. Dreadful as il
would have been to be burdened with
such a load, / would have felt that Q
true affection might make it tolerable.
I think I was a comfort to Cousin An.

ONE WAY TO LIVE CHEApLY.

A Scheme That Was Developed by Gal.
liant Colonel wiki.
Joseph Tanski, the Polish refugee,
narrates many. stories Of the shifts to
which he and his fellow exiles were
compelled to resort in order to keep
soul and body together. None of these
is more curious and interesting than one
relating to his friend, Colonel Wilk,
who had been decorated by the emperor
Of the French for gallant service in the
French army, but who afterward found
himself obliged to live upon 60 francs
q month.
1t was pretty tight work, and SO Colo
mel Wilk had to confess, but one day he
met with a strange bit of good fortune.
He had been out for a walk and was
on his way home when a big Newfound-
land dog came running down the street,
pursued by a gang Of boys and men, all
armed with sticks. The dog, painting
and terrified, ran straight toward Colo
mel Wilk and took refuge between his
feet. The crowd drew near with loud
and excited shouts. .
lit is a mad dogl Kill him!''
A policeman, more courageous than
the mob, stepped forward.
I "Haltr' shouted the knight Of the
Legion OF Honor. "The dog belongs to
me. 1t is not mad"
His resolute air and perhaps the red
ribbon in his buttonhole made an i'm
preston upon the policeman.
. VERY WE'LL, &" he said, ''since the dog
ia yours, lead him away"
So said, so done. Colonel Wilk took
the dog home, washed and combed it,
and then went with 1t to the butchers
to buy it ONE scraps Of meat. For 25
confines the butcher gave him a fine
lot, and on his way home Wilk bought
o few vegetables
: All these bits-bits of meat, bones
and vegetables-he put into q pot to-
gether with a suitable quantity Of wa
ter, and out of the pot both he and the
dog made a sumptuous dinner.
The problem of living was solved.
Day after day, as often as his purse ran
low. which was pretty often, he bought
bits of meat ''for his dog" Nobody
was the wiser, and the Polish exile and
his dog lived upon 80 confines a day,
and the knight Of the Legion Of Honor
could once more receive his friends like
Q man of the world.

THE wHlsTLI WIND.

Whenever I hear the whistling wind.
Whenever ! see. the drifting snow,
What anxious thought disturbs my mind.
So poor the sweetest lass ! knowi
How can she bide the bitter stormf
The winter, cold and bleak, endured
She tells me that her wrap Is warm
For she is proud AZ she Is poor.
I think Of her whene'er I see .
Another robed in richest furs.
There's not another face to me
So fair. SO good and kind as hers,
And when / sit beside my fire
wish her there, for her dear sake,
And, troubled with its vain desire,
1t seems as If my heart would break.
God teach her it's the high and low,
IT'S not the rich and poor, mate ill,
That h may not refuse me, SO
That I may AVE my perfect will.
God bless her, keep her evermorel
And patient let me hope to see
Time bridging all the diff renee DER
She fancies 'twixt herself and me.
