THEN AND NOW.

Then the merle and thrush were singing round the homesteads in the hedges Where the fragrant hawthorn blossoms lay where wintry anows had been, Then the gorsy fires were blazing. and the marsh lamps lit the sedges. Then the meadow lands were smiling in their robes of gold and green. Then your eyes were bluer. brighter than the violets in the valleys,
 And your sweet voice filled with envy skylarks soaring out of sight. And the pale. pink apple blossoms in the orchards grassy alleys
 By your blushing cheeks grew truly in a moment wan and white. Now tho birds are silent fensting where the scarlet berries cluster
 Where the beech and oak are flaming love-iorn cushats sadly call; Dreaming of the tropic splendors. swal- lows on the house-tops muster, And within the ancient orchard. red checked apples earthward fall. Now your eyes have lost their radiance, and your voice has lost its sweetness Now we've lads and lasses round us. blithe and bonny, good and dear; Spring and summer have departed with amazing speed and fleetness. Now. dear wife, 1t is the autumn of our lives. and of the year. Tn the spring wooed and won you, in the spring our troths were plighted, When our hearts were brave and buoy ant, and our love untried ano new; Now in autumn through all sorrows, joys and hopes fulfilled and blighted, Hand in hand we stand together bound by love still fresh and true.

HORSE COMMITS sulclDs
Remarkable Act of a Baltimore ,Ro.,
 While Exercising.

 A horse committed suicide q, D., timore the other day. The min, and a mule, the property of c 1T Pearson & Co., packers. had ba.s turned out to exercise in a ward .l joining the packing house. The msI. was blind in one eye, and as the ,s., animals ran around kicking up tbs,' heels and biting each other in tbs. play, tho mule got his hind feet ca,,sh, Tn an areaway alongside the buldios which happened to be on his blind xds E and down he went. The areawav ' about four feet long and only ,w. feet wide and five feet deep. Wbss the mule got ihis full length in K. areaway he became much frightenas and the harder he struggled to pet mi the tighter he became wedged in ths hole. The animal seemed to suIYe, !, tense agony. He beat his head agaipgl the walls of the areaway and worksA so hard to free himself that he dssl from exhaustion and the rupturing Al hlood-vessels.
 The sorrel horse stood by the sia.l of the areaway for q few mipus.| watching his fellow-workman sufsr| and then. seemingly overcome wiB| grief, he made wild rush for pap. walk to the top of the limekiln in tl,| yard, which is surrounded by brid| wall 15 feet high.

 They all laughed.
 No, scarcely think you will be shy" said Col Clitheroe. Besides, the moment makes the man, they say-so, of course 1t makes the woman"
 The important day came. Rose Dy- gart was simply yet elegantly dressed, and her fresh young face won it's fair share of notice as she waited among the crowd of debutantes.
 Then followed six weeks of gayety; concerts, opera, dances, garden parties, riding in the Row. Nevertheless the girl was glad when her father decided to return to the country before midsum- mer. Everything seemed beautiful and endeared by absence. The trees had ex- changed their first freshness of tender green for the ripeness of summer beau ty; the hawthorn and bluebells we're over and done with, but the foliage of the woods seemed lovely by contrast with Hyde Park.

THE czARiNA'S LADIES.
Customs and Costumes of Her Majestyh
 Attendants.

Attendants.
 The cZarina is accompanied during her journeys by several ladies of honor; who not only belong to the most aris- tocratic families of Russia, but are, que and all, beauties of the first rank, thus increasing the brilliancy of the Russian imperial party. The office of lady oi honor is considered great dignity anu the entire organization IS ruled by very strict etiquette. The young ladies selected enjoy extraordinary privileges, and are present at all court ceremonies.
 When first entering upon her duty the lady of honor receives as lnaigLis light blue silk ribbon with the mon. ocram of the empress embroidered ir ccid, which is worn upon the left shoulder.
 The costume in which lady of honor appears is quite precious. It aiwayt consists of white satin skirt, whict is covered with jewels. Over the skirt great tunica of purple-red velvet, embroidered with gold, which falls in heavy folds and ends in long train. The sleeves are loEg and hang in what is called the Russian pagodcne styles. The most characteristic part of the ccs- tune is the headdress, the kakochnick. sort of diadem, which recalls the ornaments of the goddesses of antiqui. ty. The headdress is the only portion of the costume which reminds one of tie old Great Russian costume. Like the tunica. it is of purple-red velvet, and very richly ornamented with jew els. A long veil of white tulle, which falls down gracefully over the train, is fastened to the headgear. This cos tune is worn only during limited time by the younger ladies of honor. After few years of service the lady of honor rises in rank, and receives us insignia portrait of the czarina, set in diamonds. Instead of the heavy purple tun:ca, she wears now another similar garment of emerald green vel vet, embroidered in silver.
 Sometimes these ladies are the re- cip;ents of the Order of St. Katharine, which Peter the Great founded for la dIcs distinguishing themselves in the field of science or otherwise.
 The empress chooses her ladies of honor personally from the families of the high officials, and there is even a special school preparing these young ladies for the service of her majesty. This school is called the "Pepiniere; :" the pupils are educated there in the very strict etiquette in use at court, so that they may feel quite at home later on in their brilliant surroundings. The dress worn in that school is of q very curious cut, and so arranged that if the imperial couple or the ens. press alone should visit the school s,ll the dresses are, by unbuttoning, i'm. mediately changed into low neck ard short-sleeved dresses. The wearing of silk aprons is obligatory, and they must be worn always, except when the visit of the court is announced in which event the silk aprons quickly disappear.-St Louis Republic.

 The gray-haired handsome husband , shook his head with smile.
 Hardly, am afraid, Rose. casual observer would be more likely to think you were q young lady spending the holidays with her grandfather. For tunately, however, the residents ill these parts know who you are. l ex- pect they will muster pretty strong at church this morning to get good stare at you"
 Rose Clitheroe took her husbands way of the priory. The colonel had in herited the property from an uncle, not long before his marriage.
 Tt looks more matronly 10 take your arm. John," she said, laughing. But then her mood changed, and she looked grave, adding:
 Il do really feel nervous. l don't want these people who have known you nll your life to say am too young and too giddy, and too altogether unworthy to be your wifel Do you think they will be prejudiced against me by my app pearance? l chose a bonnet and this long sealskin coat because they make me look older than d hat and jacket"
 Don't be anxious. child and the colonel pressed the hand which rested on his arm. Unless people are hope lessly stupid and short-sighted they must see at glance that you are the most charming of young women, and l am the most fortunate of men, and blessed altogether beyond my deserts. But whatever they think. and whatever they say, the fact remains that we are entirely satisfied with each other"
 "I am more than satisfied" and Rose spoke empbatically. "I often wonder why such happiness should come to me when so mauy women are miserably married.'
 |. was rather n romantic little story, as things go in these prosaic times, that story of how Rose Dysart became Mrs. Col. Clitheroe when she was IS, and he was 46.
 Rose declared that sine had been in love with him all her life. Certainly at two years old she had been in the habit of assuring him. "Rose'll marry you when she's big whereupon he al- ways answered: All right, little wom- m. I'll wait for you"
 The child's passionate devotion to the handsome officer was quite an amuse- ment to her parents. But when his regiment was ordered otf to India. and they saw the little face grow white and thin, and heard her heartbroken sobs. they laughed no longer. Even after she ceased to cry for "Rosie's colonel, v she never forgot him.
 The pretty baby had grown to tall. slim girl of B when these two friends met again. By that time. Rose Dysart was pupil at a small and select board- ing @ahool in the environs of Paris; and on one of the frequent visits which her father and mother paid to their darling, they came, by chance, across Col. Clithe- roe. who also was spending a few days in the gay capital.
 How is Rosie" Has she forgotten mel" were among his first questions.

iOO " HILL &tf-& i-ls AA1~ n oC ASoAs cheerful as usual, and he was apt 10 drop into fits of musing, so that even the voice of Rose made him start as one does who returns suddenly from the land of dreams to reality.
 The fact was that he had promised 10 execute commission which was dis tasteful to him.
 "ColoEel." a bright-faced guards man had said to him one day: ''Ill tell you a secret. 1 am in love with Rose Dysart, and shall never care for an- other girl. Now, you and my father were boys together, and you are the oldest friend I possess in all the world Say a good word for me. will you? She thinks you infallibIe upon every point; she has told me herself that there is no one like you"
 Col. Clitheroe worked vigorously at for some moments before answering.
 Have you spoken for yourself?" he suddenly inquired.
 Not in plain words. Every time I try, and get round to the point, there seems difficulty; but 1 would try my luck again and again if l thought might win Rose in the end. Speak mp for me, won't you, colonel?"
 If favorable moment comes; but don't see what my recommendation can do for you.'
 Hasn't she known you all her life, and doesn't she think you worth a,.y number of young fellows put to- gether?" said Rawdon. "The chef subject of conversation when we dance or when we sit out together seems to be the perfection of Col. Cltheroe; and I've had to tell her all could think of about you when the regiment was out in India. After eXhausting facts, try fiction, seeing that it is the only way to win a smile," and the young fellow laughed.
 The gray-haired man of six-and forty was thinking over this conversation as the train carried him down to Sussex; but he thought of it even more us soon as Rose, in her bright young beauty, stood before him.
 Harry Rawdon was a good enough fellow, but not good enough for the Dysarts' daughteri Who. indeed, would be worthy such wife?
 Nevertheless reflected the colenei. "I knew his father when we were both boys at school. l must do my best for Harry, and one of these days l will sound Rose on the subject. and get an idea of the state of her heart"
 Opportunities of private chat were not difficult to find.
 Mir. and Mrs. Dysart regarded Col. Clitheroe as sort of venerable friend with whom Rose might be sent to walk, talk, or ride, without outraging even the narrowest notions of propriety.
 Yet the colonel felt shrinking from mentioning the subject of young Law dor's desires, and from speaking up for his many excellent qualities. He liked much better to talk over dear old times," ns Rose called her gciden days of childhood.
 'i must have been positive nuisance 70 you. wasn't I, colonelp" she sail one day as they paced side by side the ter raced walk, while waiting the sum- mons for breakfast. "I know was always running after you. yet you never seemed cross and bored"
