A happy bird sang out to me, Sang from ber nest in the hawthorn * tree; I This the song she warbled to me: "The flowers grow purple, red, and bi.:e; They smile from mounds and garden beds ; They lift dew-wet their radiant heads; And one is growing there for you? One iare sweet flower will bloom for you.*' Where clusters- of lilies hang The little bird still gang, Till the Howeriug bluebells rang; flowers giow scarlet, golden and white; "With pvery breeze they lightly dance, While from their leaves the dew-drops glance; And one shall bloom in the golden light? Shall blooin for you iu the light." The echo came back, "For you 'Twim the gay wild bird, I knew. Still hinging, "For you, for you, The ftoWem are opening with colors g?y; Down in the garden such clusters grow, ? Nodding merrily?oh, you'll know, Before the close of the golden day; Hut fmust away, away, away." Then a ripple of song ran over The fields of daisies and clover, And away the wild bird flew, Lost, lost to my view, In the depths of ether blue. Another song 1 heard, Sweeter than wild-wood bird, A voice my whole soul stirred, That tenderly said, "For you, The whole of my love is for you." A Piece of Ribbon. BY' ALARY REED CROWELL. It was a pretty piece, too, of rare combination of two utterly dissimilar colors. . It was narrow, not three-fourths of an inch wide, of a bright, light blue, with pink rose buds dotted at regular intervals ilongit. It was slightly mussed Dn both ends, and in the centre was two pin holes. And that was what Archer Deleran was caressing so fondly; the ribbon that still bore the traces of having been tied around Maude Leicester's white throat by her fluinft? 41 n adiiivj jiugviot lie was the last person you would bave selected from a crowd to be the man who had a romance ; not that he was not handsome, for Archer Delevan was as splendid a specimen of mankind as a woman! iould have desired; not that he I vas not full of courtly grace andj iignified bearing, foj he wore both hose charms as a prince of the jlood royal might have done; but t was because there was a settled 'loom and shade in his brown eyes,! md a stern willfulness strongly narked around his hps?bare lips: hey were, and as perfect as Apolo's. There were very few people in ; hio world but that would have de:iured Mr. Delevan to be utterly | fomented, had they seen him that tormy wintry night, with all. the; vorld locked out from the warmth j md magnificence of his bachelor, :hambers. It was certainly a very untoward hing for a man like Archer Dele'an to do?a man who was as rich ilmost as fabled Crcosus, who had mt to ask them, to have any?periaps all?of his fair friends fall in! 11a ?inmo ni,/l T \ 1 a a l~it rri 4r\r* flin r\r\- ! IIO CI1IJID, U11U lyiVOO llllll 1V/1 L/I I Vx V|/- I ortunity he .had given them of icing Archer Dclevan's wife. But all his wealth, stjdQ, position nd influence would have weighed iglit in the scales against that tiny hroatlrtof pink-budded azure silk, nd that was what he realized as he at beside liis marble-topped centreaide, with a dark, gloomy frown ntensitying in his eyes, and liis i'hole frame trembling from the iassion of the kisses he poured on hat perfumed toy. It was not so much of a romance fter all, the story of that ribbon, lily inasmuch an .Mr. L>elevan mrscd and cherished it. Ten years back, when he had icon moneyless and.nameless, and* .1 together nobody, a girl of fifteen | lad laughingly given him, at his! m passioned request, this strip of ilk, \v:-rm from her 6hapely throat lie had only seen twenty-two ears then, and had pleaded with ill his native eloquence for Maude Leicester's love.; and she had been io witchingly coy, yet not discoursing, as she laughingly gave him he love-token, and assured him it ,vas of far more worth than her icart. Suddenly the Leicester*? vanished Vom under his very eyes, and he .mo ln*V iitUVi nnln lllB np.vpr.dvilicr kTC40 IV_.Il, U 1 Hi VJt.il J taiu ?? vt v . memory of the violet-eyed beauty, J ml this sole link. And to-night. Archer Delevan was yearning for lier whom he worshipped with a*ll bis bouI. 'Well, Maude, after a two years' *ioge, I have won the guerdon of victory. See!' Alma Verener held up her hand, where a cluster diamond ring sparkled in the morning sunlight that came streami?ig in the east bay-window at Verener Villa. A pale shadow gathered around Muude Leicester's mouth, as Bhe saw the engagement ring. '^\nd I have been weak enough to dream of him all these long ten years/ There was a malicious little sparkle in Alma's blue eyes, as sue listened to the weary-worded confession. *1 told you Archer Delevan was flot the man to remember such boyish folly.' She did not say the word3 that might have given such gladness to this voting girl's heart,; she did not think it.worth her while to repeat what Archer Dclevan had said to Lor when, in a quiet matter of fact ' way, he had asked her to be his wife. '/ it ?-t ? ?i? - ? -j. C'lu uuci juu u second love, Miss Verenor,' he had said gravely: 'a love that perhaps springs from the loneliness and disappointment I have ever experienced since I lost Maude Leicester. If you think I am worth having, will.you lake me and teach me to forget her ?' Ah, wasn't he worth having, even though he had told her ne hated lier, but wanted her for an omamejat to his splendid mansion ? So tlfe triumphant girl had shown Maude Leicester her ring, but had not sho^n her whac she might have <jone. ,'She felt perfectly justified. in not felling it; it was, in the first placc, a lover's first confidence, and as such to be sacredly respected. Again, had she but hinted to Maude that Archer Dele van was still true, she knew she should lose iu>t only her hired companion, but her husband, ad futiirum, also. It had been a pitiful story, that of Matid Leicester, who had been compelled, through the wickedness of tier ftather, to leave their native city and bury herself in a new world where the laces were so stransre. and there came never a breath of the dear o!d. life back to her. She had taught. an humble village school away out in Missouri for seven years of those ten; and ' then, when by chance?no, rather Providence?her old-time friend, I Alma Verener, had come upon her jand offered her a home in her own j house, Maude had gone, in feverish delight?not so much because she loved this friend, as of the vague hope she had of meeting the man i she had loved so long and constantly . . But when, in the guileless goodness of her heart,-she had told Ve rener this, her one romance, that' lady had taken especial pains that J the two should not meet; and whenj a desiguing woman, who has set: her whole heart on winning a man with whom her servant is in love, you may depend upon it that luckless dependent will not be allowed a Fair chauee. And Miss Y.erener liad succeeded in winning Archer Delevan for herself, and losing him to Maud Leicester. '1 am perfectly aware how distasteful the allusion must be to you, Miss Verener, but I can hardly forbear to ask you if you realiy think Miss.Leicester died West V UB WUH SUUIJ U Bllilll^C lUVCIj and Alma Vereua began to wonder whether, after ali, he wou]d not break oft the engagement from sheor queerness. He was forever talking about Maude, since one unlucky day when she had casually mentioned she saw her in the "West. But if there were lies endless in number to be told, Alma Verener , could and -would tell them to furth- i er her own ends. , 'Dead, I'm quite sure, Mr. Dele- ; van: etee why is it I never hear from her, as she promised to write me?' 'And when you saw her last she , was well and happy?' 'So I should judge from her gay- 1 ,ety and good looks. The landlady!, said she was about to be married.' 'And you've never seen ber since ; that time!' He did not make it <a question, 1 but r:ither an assertion. Uis ears , were tinfflin^ with that news? ' w O 'married!' . And Miss Verener looked quiet- i ly up, with never a blench of the eyelids. 'I have never seen her since.' There followed a silence, and then she 6aid: 'Oh, by the by, I've a lovely t ?1- iV* * -?<* 4-jx olmitr VAli -fliof UUHl'Il Ul ItTIlD l/W daAV/V? J V/I4, iuuu , were given to me this morning.' She glided across the room, and from a glass 6aueer removed a bouquet of exquisitely dried ferns, aud handed them to Mr. DeJevan. 'Heavens! where did it come from V For they were tied with a piece of .pink-budded blue rihbon, aud Mr. Delevan arose trembling at the sight ot it, 'The ferns? Senator Lovell'e wife?' 'No, the* ribbon. Where did it come from V .She looked up in surprise at his passionate toni'S. 'I suppose when the parlor maidj placed them here she has done it. | Why?' He laid down the ferns and' walked over to the window. I Then he turned around and i walked back. 'Will you I-} so kind a's to send the parlor mi.id .here ?' His tones were still full of excitejnent, and Miss Verener wondered j in dumb silence what ailed the' man, as she rung for Jennette. 'This gentleman wishes to see you,' she said'frigidly to the girl. 'Yes?who gave you this V TTr> linM tlm pi'hlinn nn uv... - r Sure aud there's no harm done, sir? It's only ofie of a box o' od.Js and ends Miss Maude give me the mornin'?' Archer Delevan interrupted lier I almost fiercely. 1 'What Miss Maude? "Wbore is Miss Maude?' While Alma Verener clenched her hands in impotent rage; her case was hopeless, she plainly 6aw. 'And she's up the stairs in the sewin' room?' . 'Go tell her to come down.' i 'Miss Verener,' and he turned to , face her, 'if, as I suspect and pray, my lost love is an inmate of your i house, I will only .punish vou fori* your duplicity by assuring you that Maude Leicester shall be my wife before the sun sets.' Then, all-unconscious of the glorious news awaiting her, Maude entered the roori), worn, pale, but pretty as in those old days. She started, and felt the scarlet: blushes on her face. Archer Delevan sprang to meet her. 'Oh, Maude!?you'll not refuse me again when I ask you to be mine? Maude, my own, my. own forever!' I Alma Yerener never knew why 'that piece of ribbon betrayed her, j j or why, in the splendid parlor at i Deli Evan, there was framed, in a ] costly golden frame, - a simple lover's knot of this same blue rib- , bon. - ? j BISMARCK'S DILEMMA. ] i Why lie A6ked Indefinite Leave of 1 Absence. ] ? # j The foreign mails bring details \ explanatory of the recent cable ] news that Bismark is about to re- ( tire from the Prussian Cabinet. It \ appears from the correspondence of 1 the London News that the present ( crisis in nis fortunes has many ^ points in common with that of last , winter, when,, dissatisfied with the , action of Herrenhans on the Couu- \ ties Reform bill, he retired sulkily } to Varzin. I "At anj rate," says the corres- < pondent,.ua leading element in the | affair is Prince- Bismarck's petti- } lance; and, as was the. caee six ? months ago, it ha% driven him into , temporary retirement at Varzin. \ He has, moreover, a two-sided c+rifn -ivitTi ATnraViH] Vnll T?<inn nnrJ ! the Prussian Ministry on the one ' hand, and with the parliament on ' the other. The refusal of the parliament to bow to his commands ] on the military bill, which wa3 re- . jected, adds one more proof that ] he is losing to a certain extent his 1 power over the people, and, above ( all, the politicians of Germany." * The scandal about the proposed press law came 1u to aggravate the } situation. In respect to that un- ( fortunate scheme Prince Bismarck ( either played a very equivocal part ( or he honestly believed himself ] nnfiiirlv fTf?nfpd hv his nollf?flcrnp.B ? V "J P ii in the ministry. It is not denied ( that the bill was sent to the Bun- j dersrath in his name, and this fact p is in itself suspicious, since the v press is ordinarily left to the tender \ mercies of the interior department, jHe maintains that he did not read j the bill, and that he sanctioned it a only in the name of the Prussian Government. The Prussian Gov- c ernment affirms just the contrary. Now, itf the Prince's story be cor- ^ r.ect?if his colleagues have basely thrown him over to quiet the storm . ? 1 i.~ 1.111 I,..,. 11 raiseu uy tuu pjus? uui?uu nuo certainly a very solid grievance f) agains them. In the interest of i *2. truth it must be said that outside of his own circle of immediate fol lowers nobody believes his story. ^ lie made a serious mistake?one of ^ the most serious of his life?with the infamous press law; and he suddenly found arrayed against ? Rim the parliament, t.he ministry " and the press. Still Le trusted ap- 11 parently to his power over the Em- e peror, and, forgetting his rebuff of Inst winter, he flew to Babelsberg . to seek satisfaction. n Tlir? rpRiilt nf thfi visit will be 0 called a success'or a defeat, accord- c ing as one ascribes good faith or h duplicity to the visitor himself, v lie certainly received a favorable a answer to his prayer. He asked v for leave of absence, and the Emperor granted it. lie granted it, too, with extraordinary formalities, calculated to impress at once the " Prince himself, and all who wit- nessed them. It was on the clos- ' ing day of the session. Marshal , Von Roon appeared at the session ; in lull dress uniform, a costume f with which he always sets oli an} unusual political ceremony, and c calling Prince Bismarck aside, T informed him calmly that he had ( been instructed by his Majesty to t I - i J. ,i1 say mau jus request jur uiueuimu;release from attendance at the!J meetings of the Prussian ministry^ had been granted. There was no '' mistake about the significance of 1 Yon Rood's message, and the man- ( nerin which he delivered it. lie,' was again the victor. Bismarck,!* according to all human appear-J( anceti, had thrown down his resig-h . " 1 I u nation as an u'uniarum, una ucj was doubtless greatly surprised; when the Emperor quietly accepted it. But he wa? more cunning this | time than last winter. He did not; resign absolutely. lie asked to be j excused indeiinitely from further, meeting With the ministry; but lie' has left a loophole throtfgh which lie can return without too great humiliation, if he has at any time the wish. . For the waning popularity of I Prince Bismarck there are other' .reasons of a more general nature, ii having reference to his toreigri^^ icy. Many of the graver poRticians feel doubts about spreadiii|f the imperial connections over too wide a territory. Th,e engagements with Russia are not universally relished, perhaps "because they are not understood, and the new treaty with Persia gave occasion for timid words ot caution. It is easy to see why Prince Bismarck should desire treaty stipulations jiving him limited power of medi tation between .Persia and her neighbors. Minister Delbrugk stated the reason frankly in the discussion of the subject- But many of the deputies looked unfavorably on a 'movement which might involve Germany needlessly in the Asiatic disputes of England imd Russia, and they made known their views. The treaty prevailed, r>f course, and the opposition was once more silenced. But an unmistakable protest had been made against one grand feature of the Bismarck foreign policy,- and it will not be pnrnrisin.or if similnr nro. . ' r o . i tests in the future prove more ef- J fective.* < It is interesting to observe how, with each fresh rebuff that Prince Bismarck receives, the number of Ilis peers in statesmanship multiplies. One may meet in au houjr; m any coffee house, a dozen men cvho could have done all thar Prince Bismarck has done. "Of coui^e," ' they will remark, blandly, while they ctir their coffee,- "Of course, ; Bismarck's a clever fellow, I don't | deny that, but"?and then with free references to the history of the past ten years they will proceed to cut down his greatness^-un fell one rubs one a eyes aud inquires < whether therfe is any such person ; is Prince Bismarck, or whether it ! is all a dream? And then Austria might have been expelled from the Confederation, the South German 1 States secured, France "humbled, :he empire reconstructed?all .thy? ui^ht have beeu done in a more jkillful maimer. "Schulze is afar lbler and purer man than this fellow Bismarck." says Muller at one , elbow. . . "Let the Emperor .take , Muller, if he vfishes a statesman ivith brains," remarks Sch.ulze at ;he other elbow. Then the two , patriots shake hands iu^honor of :hsir perfect agreement* as to the ncapacity of Prince Bis'marckand is to the men who ought to sucr ;eed him. . * =- - p 1^1 * * ' Parched Corn Dhrr. ?
