"For You."
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!

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

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.

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 ,
