The Two Roses.
Two rosos once ia my garden grew.
The one was brilliant and rich of hue ;
Proud of her beauty and perfume rare,
She spread her sweets to each passing air :
The other, timid and clia?to of mind,
Shrank from the kiss of the llcklo wiud ;
Froud iu the pride of her virtue meek,
She veiled the Hush on her modest cheek.
Dozed with the glare of her gaudy bloom,
Drunk with the breath of her rich perfume,
I tended the one with ceaseless care;
I marked tho growth of ca^h beauty rare,
And dreamed that all on some future day
Would own tho power of her peerless sway.
A t mt? til of T lnv/vl fVlA
I sought to take and weir on my breast,
That won from her parent stem tQ part,
She might rest a while on my loving heart.
Bnt flown was tho lure of her witching spell,
As fluttering to earth her petals fell;
Her heart was rotten an J dead at the core,
And I knew that my foolish dream wag o'er.
I saw how poor was the full-blown blazo
That had charmed my senses and wen my
praise;
And I thought at last of tho timid flower
Which had pined unheeded for cooling shower;
But drought unslaked had her life-sjriug
dried,
So, fading and faded, she drooped and died.
I saw too, now, with awakening eyes,
How near I had been to my longed-for piizo:
One-half of the care I had spent in vainCare
that had brought me but grief and rain?
If spent on the rose that had pined away,
Would have reared a flower so chastely gay
That the iov of its countless charms untold
Mj care had repaid a thousandfold.
Ah ! bow oft in the toil and strife,
Tho chancos and changes, which we call life,
By alight auu neglcct in time of need
Wo kill the flower, and wo rear the weed ;
Then when we see it, and know too late,
Wo blame not ourselves, but curse our fate,
For no eolaco have wo on which to lean,
When wo know what we long for might have
been.
THE SLEEPING BEAUTY.
"It's no use," exclaimed Hal, despairingly,
throwing down his gun, and
thea throwing himself down after it;
"it's no use trying any longer. We
might as well give up and die at cuce.
Wo shall never find our way out of this
wilderness."
" That isn't like you, Hal," I said.
" You are famished, weak, low in spirits,
and half sick, I believe. Otherwise you
would not despond so easily. Cheer
up!"
"I'm too nearly starved for that. I
believe I am half sick, as you say. My
head aches as if it would split." He sat
half up, as he spoke, putting his hand
to his brow, and looked disconsolately
around.
I was nearly as discouraged as Hal;
but I was careful not to betray my feelings,
in word or look. Hal and I were
very dear friends. He was twenty, and
I ten years older. lie was the sou of
rich parents, in New York, and I was a
sort of guardian to him; at least during
our summer recreations; having been
appointed to act in that capacity by his
doting father, who reposed perfect confidence
in my friendship.
Becoming* tired of the seashore, Hal,
y. with a restlessness common to persons
of his age, had got it into his head that
it would bo a fine thing to make a
pedestrian tour nortnwnra, turougu me
woods to Canada. He liad heard of a
party of students who had started on
this excursion a year before, and he
Waged to imitate their example. But
his plans met with no sympathy from
me. I had settled at Old Orchard for at
least a month, and I did not want to
hear anything of adventure. But Hal
was enthusiastic on the subject. "We
would bant, fish and camp," he said,
and everything would be glorious. But
I was an old campaigner, and I knew
that camping out meant everything that
was disagreeable, especially at that time
of the year." I reluctantly consented at
last, however.]
Weil, our journey up the Kennebec
was very pleasant; but when we had
left the bf${;-and the stages behind us,
an<f when ,we saw the last house, and
began to oamp out under the trees, Hal
grew nomesick, The realities were not
what he had anticipated. Instead of
sound slumbers, we had to tight mosquitoes
thfbUgh the night; and when
morning came, the mosquitoes were reinforced
by swarms of stinging flies.
On the third day after entering the
woods, we had a rain storm. At night,
we tried to find a nook that would shelter
us ; and in so doing we lost our way ;
nor could we discover it again the next
morning. We wandered about until we
wore entirely bewildered, and when
night came were thoroughly exhausted.
We hunted an! fished now, not from
pleasure, but from necessity. Our provisions
were all gone, and we were in
danger of literal starvation.

to secure some game for onr dinner. He
already looked ten years older than when
we started on this journey. Exposure
rnd unaccustomed exertion had told on
Lira fearfully. There was a hectic tint
on h a cheeks, and an unnatural look
about his eyes. What if he should die
here? And*what should hinder him
from dying, if his strength should fail,
if he should fall sick ?
These thoughts were passing through
lty miud when I caught the sound of
something stirring in the fore3t. Instantly
I grasped my rids, and stationed
myself behind a clump of shrubbery.
Was it a deer ? Nervously I raised my
rifle, and my finger was on the trigger,
when Hal sprang to his feet, knocked
up the weapon, and cried, excitedly,
"Hist! look there."
A light breeze, at that moment, had
partly blown aside the bushes in front,
disclosing a young girl, perfect both in
form and in feature, lying on the forest
grass, under some overshadowing
.birches, souud asleep. She was dressed
in 6implo white muslin. Her arms, half
seen, hung listlessly at her sides ; her
broad-brimmed hat lay at her knee ; her
long hair, unbounfl^flowed over her
shoulders ; her fipj&jgBch were literally
like ripe rose-budfj^ero half parted,
like those of an infant smiling in its
sleep. As I looked, she moved slightly,
. and X recognized the same sound which
I had heard before, and supposed to be
the stealthy tread of a fawn. A picture
of more bewildering lovelinew I had
never seen. My rifle fell to the ground.
Jal's noise in rising and his exclamation,
awoke her. She raised her head ;
looked around startled ; and then, seeing
us, sprang to her feet, and turned as
if to run.
I stepped forward, lilting my cap,
" Pardon us," I said, "for alarming
you, but you have nothing to fear. We
are lost in this forest. Can you guide
v us out ? "
She stopped at this, glanced from me
to Hal, and blnshed rosily over face and
neck. "Lost," she said. "Why, it is
only half a mile to the road and my
father's house is not half that distauce.
Lost, indeed 1" with a gay little langh
of incredulity ; and she shook her head.
"Who ever heard of such a thiiig as
getting lost in my father's woods! "
"But such is the fact," said Hal,
coming eagerly forward, his eyes expressing
his admiration, " and if you
r can guide us to a place where we can ob
tain refreshments, you will do us a great
service. We are nearly famished."
"My father will be glad to receive
you," 6he replied, demurely, her eyes
fulling before his. "I will show you
the way. You had better come now, for
your friend there looks sick."
She was addressing me now, but looking
directly at Hal. Hal, poor follow,
was by this time so weak that when we
started to go he had to lean on me for
- support.
Oar fair condnotor wont tripping on
before us, occasionally waiting for tis to
come up, and every now and then casting
anxious looks at Hal's pale face.
We soon reaohed the farm-house, wiiioh
was neat end commodious, situated on a
gentle slope, with grand old shade trees
all about it. No place could have given
us a more hospitable welcome.
Before night Hal was in a high fever.
A physician was called, who looked
grave, and said the ease was a doubtful
one; though youth and good nursing
might bring the patient round.
For a week Hal was delirious,
watched by his bedside night and daj
Jennie, onr little "Bleeping beauty," a
I called her, came and went, administer
ing to the needs of the sick room, in
thorough, womanly way, that on
'would hardly have looked for in one &
young. At last, Hal's youth brougli

lief. 1 -wrote to his father that he ha<
been sick, but was better, and that W'
should probaby soon come home.
But Hal was in no hurry to return
Whnt his r on pons could bo for wishinj
i to stay in (bat out-of-the-way place

day it flashed upon me, all at ouce, tha

Jennie. Ever sincc his recovery, heha<
! been in her society a good deal; and .

had seen many other little thingR, too
that where quite suggestive, when 1
I came to think them over. " This,".
i said to myself, " must go no farther
Jennie is charming enough in her way
but if Hal marries, it must be with som
one of his class. He, the heir of one o
the first families of New York, to wed i
mere ovest nymph ? Impossible ! Wha
would his father think of me ?"
That very afternoon, I said to Hal
"I shall get off to New York to-morrow
morning. Can you be ready ?"
He started suddenly, and gave me i
penetrating look, as if to read nr
thoughts. Then he flushed scarlet, ant
said :
" Of course I will be ready."
That was all. But I felt relieved
" Once get him away," I reflected, " am
ho will soon forget all about it."
That night, after tea, Jennie went on
j to pick somo berriee. Soon after, j
missed Hal. I guessed where he was
! and I felt vexed. It was nearly darl
1 when they returned, their hands fall o:
j bright maple leaves. When they sav
l me, Jennie slipped quietly away into th<
j house, and Hal came directly towarc
J me. His face was iluslied, ana ne seem
| ed agitated, and in attempting to talk li(
made some strange blunders.
The next morning we were off on the
early stage. We stopped a day at Old
Orchard, to rest and pack our truuks,
| and then went directly home, where we
were gladly welcomed by our friends.
As wo alighted from the hack, at mj
hotel, Hal took out his diary to pay tht
driver ; and as ho held it up in the gaslight,
I caught a glimpse of the pag
bearing the date of the day of onr de!
parture from tho farm-house ; and on it
j were writteu two name?, with a scarlet
I maple leaf fastened below them.
j Soon after our return, business called
j me to California, where I remained for
a year.
I During this time I had heard nothing
from Hal. The little incidento of on
I tour in Maine, meantime, had been forgotten.
But when I returned to New
York, I called on Hal at once.
"Delighted to see you back again,"
said Hal's father, into whose presence I
was ushered.
" And how is Hal ? " I said.
| " Hal ? I have not 6een him for an
I - 99
I
" Have not seen him ? Where is
! he?"
" Ho is in the city. I suppose you
| know Hal is married ? "
l "I did not," I said, still more surI
prised,
"Yes, he married a penniless girl,
I from some where in the woods of Maine,
j Threw himself hopelessly away. I was
so displeased, that I told him lie must
look out for himself; aud the boy was
spirited enough to do so. He and I
have not met for six montbs. Ho is doing
business in a 6mall way for himself,
and I understand, successfully."
"I am so 6orry to hear this," I said.
" Can nothing be done ?"
" Well, perhaps," an8wered his"father,
11 we have both been headstrong and
foolish ; and both too proud to acknowl edge
it. But I want Hal back again,
wife aud all. He is all I have, and lift
goes rather hard, I must confess, without
him. I am glad you have come
home, Hardy. I can't quite make up
my mind to go to Hal myself, and 1
want you to do it for mo. You used tc
have great influence with him."
"I shall be happy to serve you in
this."
" When will you see him ?"
"To-night. The sooner the better."
And so it was decided. The fathei
was to remain in the carriage while 1
went in.
Hal's house was a small neat cottage
in the suburbs. A vigorous tug at the
bell soon brought out the proprietor,
He looked at me a moment as if to identify
me ; and then I felt a pair of strung
arms around my neck.
"Why, you dear old fellow," criec
i Hal. "Where did you come from? I'n:
j so glad to seo you! Whore have yor
j been all this time ?"
I As he spoke he whisked me into a cosj
little sitting-room, and before I had
time to reply, had disappeared. It waj
a cheery, liome-like apartment, witl
nothing but plain furuituro aud simple
adornments ; but there was such a tidj
appearauco about everything that ]
knew Hal's wife must be a jewel.
When Hal returned, I caught, for the
first time, a glance at his face. It was
the same fresh, jo.vous face, only there
j was a serious manliness new, in place
I of the old boyish expression. He was
j followed by a fair-haired, rosy-faceJ
i young creature, whom, with a proud air,
i ho introduced as his wife.
! Where had I seen her before? Sh(
j had a familiar look, but I hud met sc
many people in my changeiul, moving
life/that I could not locite her for ?
moment. Suddenly, under my scruti
niziug gaze, she blushed; J had eeen thai
blush before. All at once, the trutl
flashed on me.
" VVhy, you are Jennie," I exclaimed,
and took both her hands iu mine.
" Yes, I am Jennie." she answered,
I and blushed again redder than ever.
We sat down, and bogan to talk. ]
; broached the subject of his father.
! " I can never go back to him," saic
Hal, " without he makes some advances
first, and he will never do that."
" Are you quite so sure ?'' said a deej
! voice behind us. Wo looked around,
j 80 eager had been our conversation thai
; we naa notooservaa me opening 01 iu?
i door.
" Ave you quite so sure?" said Hal's
I father, for it was be who spoke.
, " My dear," he continued, advancing
aud bowing low to Jennie, " pardon ai
old man, who has come, though late, t<
ask your forgiveness. I want your bus
band to be my son again. I want yov
j to be my daaghter. I want you both t<
; come and live with me, that is if yoi
i can take pity on one utterly forlorn.'
iiis voice broke down as ho finished,
j Jennie burst into tears, rushed for
I ward, and impulsively threw her arm:
! about the old man. if she had studiet
her part for weeks, she could have hi
I on nothing that would have been so per
I feet as this. As she clung to him, anc
! kissed him, I knew that tbe reconcilia
i tion was permanent and complete.
All this happened years ago. Jennii
; is now a leader of society in New York
| and the most beautiful matron at th<
! patriarch balls. But she iB still, to me
| at least, and I am sure, also to her hus
; band, the same true and unafifectei
i character as when we discovered her
| in the woods of Maine, an unknowi
| " sleeping beauty."

Aprons.
, Aprons have, in one form or other,
j and of one material or other, formed a
! conspicuous part of female costume from
! Anglo-Saxon times to the present day. In
. the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries the
j apron was worn tolerably plain, and was
generally confined to good housewives ;
but in the sixteenth century they were
again adopted by ladies, and were made
of so fine a texture, and so elaborate in
decoration, that they provoked the ire
of some of the satirists of the period.
Thus, in 1596, Gosson wrote :
l "Those aprons white, of finest thread,
So choice lie tied, bo dearly bought;
So finely fringed, so nicely spread,
j So quaintly cut, so richly wrought?
Were they in work to save their costs
I They need not cost so many groatR."'
At this time they were edged with the
most costly lace,and worked with gold and j
silver thread and with various colors. ^
' In the reign of William and Mary,
1 aprons became an indispensable part
! of the dress of a lady; they were very (
small, edged and puffed with a profusion
of lace, and were worn over the .
upper part of the rich petticoat, the i
front of which was fully displayed by ,
j the open gown then worn. In the time .
. nf Onopn Ann* t.hft nnrnn crew to some- /
' ! what larger proportion, and was worn

j In hor reign'it was often decorated with
l gold and silver spangles, rich needle*
| work of divers colors, gold lace,rosettes,
| puffs of lace, and even pictures painted
) I on pieces of satin and stitched on. In
! i the time of George II., and; the early
! part of the reign of George III., aprons
' j were worn very long and plain, without
i lace or ornaments?simply long, white
1 j aprons, and nothing more. These long,

i (or king o? Hath, as he was commonly j
j called) and provoked his rage to such
> an extent that it was decreed that no
? lady should appear in white aprons at
j any of the public balls in that fashiona
I bio city. So stringently was this rule
! | enforced, that it is recorded on one ocj
casion, when tho duchess of Queensl
; bury infringed the regulation and made
1 j her appearance in a white apron, Nash

The Young Wife's Curse.
! The coroner held an inquest upon the
i remains of "Billy" O'Brien, shot by
1 | Officer Jones. * * * As the officer
! stepped down from the stand, where he
1 j had gone to sign his statement, a loud
'{cry--a mingled scream and groan-1
; startled every one from their seats. It
1 : was a woman's voice, and, as everybody
; instinctively knew, that of O'Brien's
t j young wife. " Curse you 1 Curso you 1"
' she cried; " my curse on you forever
r for murdering my husband, you clog 1"
' She hold up both hands, appealing to
1 i heaven in the agony of her grief, while
tears flowed down her cheeks. The
officer turned slightly pale at the awful
1 earnestness of the wife's curse, and tears
j glistened in his eyes. " It was my hard

r i Knew His Drill.
L i
After the peace of 1815, the duke of
I j Wellington took into his London houseJ
j hold several of the veterans of his penin;
sular army, whose habits, being more in
> | accordance with the battle-fields of Spain
. than the saloons of Apsley house, were a
t source of unfailing amusement to the
i great general's fashionable visitors. One
| battered old fellow with one eye, who
i I had figured conspicuously at Orthes and
1 Toulouse, was installed in the gardenl
i iug department, the duke answering all
i I doubts of his fitness bv saving, decisive
> j ly: " Well, he's dug "trenches in every :
j vineyard of the south of Franco; I should J
i t hope he ought to know something of ,
> i gardening after that."
11 Another veteran, who had been wound- |
'. ed at Waterloo, was under discussion one j
! evening at dinner between the duke and
Lord Anglesea, when the subject of the j ^
i i discourse entered witli the measured
1 j step of the parade-ground, carrying a
t huge pie. "Now," said Anglesea, "let
-1 us try if the old boy remembers his fac- j
1 ' ings;" and turning suddenly round he i
- j cried sharply: " Attention I" The old j
soldier instinctively dropped his hands,
?5 i and the plate likewise, which ex,
1 ploded like a bombshell over the rich
3 carpet in a shower of steaming gravy. <
, The poor fellow's look of dismay at this ]
- catastrophe drew a smile from the iron
.1 duke himself; but tho jester hastened to i
, console his victim with the assurance
i j that no English soldier could be blamed <
. for knowing his drill.
e i Singular Case of Canine A flection,
f A very singular case of canine affec- i
5 tion has occurred in France. Some j
a time since, a man named Morin was
? killed by aocident on a railway, and j
- since then his widow had lived alone in j
a state of melancholy despondency. At :

i- from giving way at the last moment, I
Q she tied her feet and bands togethor and I
s lay down on her bed, where she was ]
i* found a week afterward quite dead. In ;
n the same room was an old dog, which <
> was much attached to her deoeased bus- i
I band, and had appeared fully to share ]
Y her grief at his loss. The faithful ani- '
i mal appeared to have divined her in ten- ]
g tion. and determined that their fjtes >
should be the same, for he was found !
curbed up on the pillow beside his mis- j
tress, dead from hunger, although in j
is the room were found meat and water i
it for him, both of whioh were, however, I
untouched,

Onr Circus,
We wanted to go to the circus, Sister J
[)ot and I, but mama said the weather
pas too hot, and there were better ways c
)f spending our money; so we went out o
>n the piazza, to think up something c
dse to do. "
We had seen the street parade in the j5
norning, aud couldn't think of anything H
sut tho elephants, aud ponies, and, best d
)f all, the great chariot, with the " God- R
lees of Liberty " riding on top; so I said *
I am Dot's brother Dick, you see, and ^
ye are eight years old, and twins), 0
Let's play circus." Dot clapped her
lands at that, and we ran in to ask ii
nama. She was reading, but stopped S
o listen, und laughed, and told us where
0 find an old bed-tick for a tent, besides 1
jiving us five cents to buy peanuts with p
?you know circus people always eat
5eanuts. d
While Dot went round the corner to t:
)uy the peanuts, I set up the tent in the ii
ront yard, under the poplar tree. I
minted "Circus" in big letters on a ?
riece of white paper and pinned it on *
:hc side of the tent, next the street, and D
put up a flag over the end r*e went in at. f
When Dot came she said it looked a
' splendid!" and we called George and *
Eva Barbour, who live aoross the street, 8
x) come over and play with us. They
same, aud we took our black dog " Dom ?
Pedro" for the elephant, Dot's kitty for n
1 Hirer find TCvn's for a bear. Wo rmt I h
:ho cats in strawberry boxes for cages, 0
rad tied "Dom Pedro" to one of the
:?nt poles. We had Dot's doll, dressed ?
n a pink dress and yellow sash, for the n
" Goddess of Liberty," and she rode in
ny red cart, with a little flag tied in her f
land. ^
George stood at the " entrance," and P
kook pins for pay, and I was tho " keep- jj
sr" of the animals, and Eva and Dot
were the visitors. r ?
But the elephant broke away and i
wouldn't come bftck, and tne tiger and h
bear upset their cages, and knocked the c
poor " goddess" and her " chariot" h
both over. \
So George said as the animal part was
such a failure, we must make the circus ?3
part good, so we went outside the tent i:
to where my turning pole was, and had li
3ome "performances" there. George ^
bung by his feet, and turned somersaults
till he tore his trousers, which were his t
best ones, so he stopped. Then I tried c
to walk across the turning-pole, with a ii
croquet mallet in my hand for a balan- c
sing-pole, but fell off and broke the c
mallet, besides hitting my head on the ?
batchet, which I had left there when I e
pounded down the tent stakes. fl
I thought I should have to ory, but
frfinrcft cnlled out. " Circus fellows 1;
iou't mind bumps," so I didn't; but it J
hurt for a good while. 1
Wo tied "Arabella St. James" (the. f
name we saw on the bills, bo we gave it o
bo the doll), by one arm to the turning- S
pole, and swung her till the arm came
3ut, and she fell down and broke her 7
nose off, when Dot cried, and we con- ?
jluded it was time for the circus to 1
ilose. So we stood in a row (all but ,
Dot, who cried so she couldn't), and r
sang Yankee Doodle; afterward George p
blacked his face with some soot from an r
3ld Btove-pipe in the back-yard, and sang, j:
" Once I loved a gal, her name waB
Nancy Lill." Then we bowed, and t
raved our hands; and George and Eva ^
were going home, when Dot remember- s
ad the peanuts she had left in the tent; c
aut when she went for them Dom Pedro *
iad been in there, and eaten them al- H
nost up. Wo found by tasting them ^
;hat they weren't baked, so we told ji
numa, who just then came out to pick i'
some pausies, and she gave us some ^
ginger-snaps, fit for a king to eat, so we r
[iked them. p
And that was the end of our circus. t

The Largest Plant in the World.
We are accustomed to regard the great |
3es of California as the most gigantic ;
ecimens of vegetable growth known i
man, but such is not the case. There ]
a snbmarine plant.growing in the
jrth Pacific ocean which, according to j
rofessor Reinsch, dwarfs all others in I
i vast proportions. The Macrocystis j
irifera, one of the Afelanospermre, ;
a been known to grow to such an ex- :
at as to cover vast areas of the ocean |
d. One specimen, by measurement, j
is found to cover three square miles j
d the stem from which the growth
oceeueu was eigui ieei- m uiuwclui.
is almost impossible to conceive of
oh a plant, or how a system of nonrlment
can be maintained throngh snch

Nature performs strange freaks,
d certainly none can be stranger than
e fact that of this gigantic species

Well-Toned Systtms. 1
SystemB tonod and renovated TVith Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters are most effectually defended
from disease. That supreme invigorant
Boon overcomes that distressing feebleness
consequent upon ailments which impoverish
the blood and relax the musoles. Vigor, appetite,
sleep return to the wasted frame, and every
physical faculty gains greater activity through
its benign influence. Nor is this all, for the
Bitters have a most genial and cheering effect
upon the mind of the despondent invalid,
which is the natural effect of the increased
bodily vitality which they produce. Nervous
Bymptoms disappear in consequence of the
use of this medicine, and the evil consequences
sure to result from a premature decay of the
physical energies are averted. Dyspepsia, liver
complaints, rheumatic ailments, urinary and
uterine irregularities, malarial diaeases, and
many other disordered conditions of the system,
aro remedied by the Bitters.
That Boy.
Dramatis personnce.?A yonng American In
roundabout and leggins, perched upon the
fence devouring a huge piece of mince pie, and
a maiden of five summers, in pantalettes, looking
very wishfully at the gormand on the fence.
Young America ? " I say, sis, does your mar
make mince pies V If she doeB I'll bet they ain't
bo good as my mar's." Little Mis* (timidly)?
" I like minco pie awful well." Young America?"Well,
now, that's funny. Just look
here (drawing a quarter of a pie out of his
jacket pocket) and it's boss, too! Ain't my
mar good(carefully stowing it away in his
pocket). That boy " is father to the man "
who must have his cigars and any othor masculine
luxury his contemptiblo selfishness
craves, while his poor eickly wife must do the
work of two women (" girls watte more than
they oarn," ho says), and for the want of a
little money to purchase a few bottles of Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, the sovereign
remedy for female diseases and weaknesses,
she is iiterally dying by inches?and all because
of that masculine selfishness that would not
divide the childish luxury with his playmate,
and now tacitly refuses his wife the luxury of
health, !
Wh*n nflcrlfietfal of the dutv assigned to it!
by nature, that of secreting the bile" the liver !
should be disciplined with Dr. Mott's Vegetable
Liver PiUa which will speedily remedy its inaction
aud stimulate it to a vigorous performance
of its secretive function. Constipation,
which is an invariable accompaniment of liver
3isorder, is always overcome by this great antibilious
cathartic, and indigestion, chronic and
acute, is completely cured by it. All druggists
sell it.
