WEDNESDAY, BECEMBEB 19. When 1 hired leggings st M:ue. Hampton's, 1 had no idea that she ovrued so precious a thing as a daughter. Not that it would have mada any du?ereuroif 1 had known it I had" become' indifferent to wemen ; they inter? ested ms only as a trivial study You will say thu-1 worman as a study is too dangerous, birt it bad never proved so with cia In the meantime 1 neither sought cor avoided them; those whoas fate threw in my way 1 placed under c-y mental microscope, not caring much for what it revealed. My indifference, however, did not arise from any lost illu? sions. I bad never beoa in love? and it never occurred to too that the thing was possi? ble, I bad been on friendly terras with blonde and brunette, with the prude ?nd the coquette, the clever and the designing; bat i bad forgot? ten the:rerister.ce half fia hour later. Mme. Hampton herself never loft her room ; she waf doubtless dying, bat she. had been so long about it, and made so little circumstance about it, that nobody gave it a thought, it would seem. She saw her lodgers, and ar ranged terms, and sent in the bills; and yet the boase and ail its appointments seemed to afeare the order of the"p:aaetary system. The Votive power wa? madame's daughter. I in wolaatarUy pit-Cured her, since we always flecos? those who appeal individually to us ia aa/ way, aa a coarse featured woman, with "a?vor threads aooog th? gold," a face more or less wrinkled, a sharp voice, big rough fcaact?, and agendas for snubbing the servant? ' and !(jagsii::g with butcher and baker. Qr., entering madame's room cue day in order to seale my account, according to the ettotooa of the house, behold a slender being beforetbeopen fire, with one tiny hand ou th* mantel, a lavender morning gown turned Che knot oi yellow beir ut the back of her head, from which some curls escaped, into pore gold. There was on air of luxury and lewore about ber which was simply delicious 4? view of the facta. ~ily ^daughter," said madame presently. ~&teUe, this is Mr. Van Huysam; you have h*ard me speak of bim.** Estelle turned a beautiful, bacghty face in my direction, bowed slightly, smiled vaguely. "Indeed. 1 might say 1 nave bear?! yon speak of no one elao." Plainly the old lady had been singing my praises, and the young one did not fancy the tune. I dc not know what coord thrilled in my heart at those words, in that soft minor voice, capable of all melody, of terse expression, nor Low I?ot myself out of the room. -A man vbo has received a fatal buiiet in the breast -joes not recognize the aeusation, for the rea? son that be has never experienced it before; begdees not tnow its import. We met often after this, always by accident, it wouid seem, os the staircase, in the hali, and finally one night i made sc bold as tc- knock at the door of ber music room, ?be welcomed me with ber haughty cordiality, if haughtiness can be cordial There were three or four young men already m possession, but she placed her trat near my own, and while she anon threw out ja ve? : is of vit for the general benefit, 1 soceived the lion's share of attention. Tb* - ?aa -nattering to my amour propre. But still, whenever 1 repeated my call, 1 had ahv&ys to wrestle with a handful of younger men for the supremacy. 1 must confess that before I reached this point 1 had been obliged to wrestle witb myself to overcome a prejudice. A Van Htrysam in love witb his landlady's daugh? ter was an anomaly. What would my family and friends say to such an affair? With what eyes would they regard it? What would Miss Douglass think, for whom ? had been destined, bat who had been a hobblede? hoy giri of I? when 1 had last seen her? Of coarse she could care nothing for me; ft would be a wound to her vanity at the most; 2 bad never intended to marr? her; I had sever consented, in fact; that bony, shy achoo! girl, with the big eyes and lank figure, 'had never appealed to me, I had i never been able to forgive her for stammer? ing and btoshing. Besides, there had been some rumor that the coilers of the family bad suffered daring their sojourn abroad, end I had lost sight of them through their own negligenca. Dat a landlady's daughteri Tba idea would wither all my acquaintances. However, love not only laughs at locksmiths, but at one's relations. When 1 sunned myself In Estelle's presence I cared no more for tbs world's opinion, or for Vls.1 of any Van Hay cam but myself, than fer the inhabitants cf Fiatland; but boee away from that subtle magnetism, then my poles changed. I saw a thousand reasons for giving her up-if one can be said to give cp what ene does not pos aesa. Such a thing as a Van Huysam mar? rying oct of his sphere bad never been known in the family annals. But bow did I know that Estella would marry me? To be sure, if i hod been quite certain of that perhaps i should have hesitated to proceed further, i The far cZ, unattainable and dim is dear to I the ?od of marj-at k-ast till it is bis to take or teave. Oas day, when we were reading a new poe..-. together, a card was brought in. **Teil Hr Chester that 1 am engaged and cannot see him to-night." I overheard ber say to the servant. **22r. Chester does not ap? preciate our anther, * soe apologized to me, **aad I am net seif sacrificing enough to ac _cept bim in exchange for Browning." lt oc? curred to me at that timo that there were other young mea belonging to aristocratic frariBea who had no fear of a mesalliance with a landlady** doughier, although to bo sure th*y might be simply amos teg themselves, as gilded youth were wost to do. Estelle would oecer go ont with me; she had no chaperon, she said, t wondered what my sister-in lave would aa- I ?wer should I write ber to chaperon my land- | lady's daughter to Lohengrin, she who chap? eroned only the very elect, so to speak. One evening tbs conversation drifted roto tba subject of marriage, Mr. Chester and .oma others were present, and led the theme. **I would marry the woman 1 loved," said Mr. Chester. "if she were a beggar, and my father disinherited me on the spot.** "Beggary s.gr::i*e3 noshing." returned an ether. "One would Dot ask has she a dot, j but bas she blae blood." **An ancestral tree?, in short, with more ? roots than branches." s?oke a third.

I went first to pay my respects to Mme. Hampton. "1 have been making my will," she said, after a little. "Your will, madamer "Yes. 1 have other heirs besides Estelle, ! who may dispute it They will contend that I am-what yon may call a 'crunk.' But 1 bad a method in my madness.

I have come to tel! you- what you already know-1 love you, Estelle. I have loved yon since 1 first met you; yes. and be? fore. I loved you before I knew that you ex? isted.

"I thank yon; ? forgive you,n she said; "I would love you if I could.1* And then the servant announced Sir. Ches? ter.-Mary H. Prescott in Harper's Bazar. The Seventh Son. In France a seventh sen in direct succession is called a marcou. In Or? l?ans, during the present century, the following was written concerning the marcon: *'If a man is the seventh son of his father, without any female in? tervening, he is a marcou; he lias ch tome port of his body the mark of a ?eur de iis, and, like the kings of France, ho has tho power of curing the king's evil. All that is necessary to effect a cure is thai the marcou should breathe upon the part affected, or that the sufferer should touch the mark of the fleur de lis. Of ail the marcous of the Orleannais, he of Ormes is the best known and the most celebrated. Every year, from twenty, thirty, forty leagues around, crowds of patients come to visit him ; but it is particularly in holy week that his power is most efficacious; and on the night of Good Friday, from midnight to sunrise, the cure is certain. A darker superstition concerning the seventh son exists in Portugal. It is there believed that the unfortunate being who is the seventh male in direct succession, is in the power cf the Prince of Darkness, by whom he is compelled, on every Saturday even? ing, to assume the appearance of an ass. In this ffuise, and accompanied by a troup of cogs, ho is compelled to race ever moor and througn village until the light of the Sabbatn dawns, when lie may resume his human form for another week.-F. S. Bassett in St Louis Globe-Democrat. Reporters as Waiters. It appears that the ingenious re? porter who, (luring the visit of Em? peror William and King Kun-bert to Naples, disguised himself as a waiter, and succeeded in establishing himself behind the kaiser's chair during tho banquet that followed tho naval re? view, is not to bc credited with thc conception of an original idea in journalism. An English scribe, dur? ing the Franco-1Vussian war, when the French general Bataille wei; pied Saarbr?cken for a brief period, and had his meals sent from a note] in the town to Iris tent on tho hill, assisted in taking him his food, dressed as a knight of the napkin, and, in conse? quence, was enabled lo send to his paper an account of what he had seen j anti heard.

Error, like truth, flourishes in crowds. At the hearth of sviupalhy each Gndsa horno. The fanatical h ad. the saner follow. When a person of nervous temperament, not strongly in? dependent in thought and action, ( li? ters a spiritualistic circle, where lie is tonstantJy surrounded bj confident believers, all eager to have him share their sacred visions and profound rev? elations, where tho atmosph?re is re? plete with miracles and every chair and table may ai any instant be trans? formed into a proof cf the supernat? ural, is it strange that lie K<X>:? becomes one of them ?- hesitatingly at first, and perhaps yet restoraSIe to his former modes of thought by the fresh air of another and moi-e steadfast montai in? tercourse, but more and more certainly and ardently convinced the longer lie breathes the seance atmosphere. No form of contagion is so insidious in its onset, so ditlicult to check in its advance, so certain to leave germs that may at any moment reveal their per? nicious power, as a mental contagien -the contagion of fear, of panic, of fanaticism, of lawlessness, of supersti? tion. The story7 of the witchcraft per? secutions, were there no similar records to deface the pa^*es of history, would suilice as a standing illustration of the overwhelming power of psychic con? tagion. To fully illustrate its import? ance in the production of deception would require an essay in itself. It enters at every stage of the process and in every type of illusion. It has least j effect when deception is carried on by j external arcangemeots, by skillful I counterfeits of logical inferences; its power is greatest where the subjective tactor in deception is greatest, more particularly in such forms of -deception as have been last described.- Professor j Joseph Jastrow in Popular Science | Monthly.
