' p "A WINTER LILT," j is'A clear, beautiful night, with the least touoh of frost in the do no ions air, and a brilliant indigo sky, thickly Btudded with stars, like sharks of flame. In a small, neat room on the uppermost floor of a six-story tenement, a ?- 1-.1- .1 .1 .1 jpaie, pvi'Ae young uiu_y nw.i uw iuo uuc 'window thoughtfully watching the motion aud glitter in the street below. On a couch on the other side of the apartment lay a weak-faced woman, evidently ill, or, what is worse, thought herself so. And, in truth, Mrs. Mnria Carll was one of those dependent, clinging, unambitious creatures whom the "world pities sometimes, p.nd despises always. She had been reared in that unenviable grade of society known as "genteel poverty "?that peculiar, sup- i erficial class whoso heads and hearts are j H3 empty as their stomachs, and whose ! gilded idleness is poorly suggestive of "Solomon's lilies," inasmuch as neither one nor the other toils nor spins. At twenty she had sold herself to a rich old husband, whose childless widow she had been for years. Mrs. Carll, who could not make her own caps no more than she could earn them, and who could not tell a mortgage from a love ? letter, woke up one fatal morning and found herself as poor as she had been in the days of her girlhood. She felt that the only role of life left her was that of " interesting invalid in reduced circumstances," and she assumed it accordingly. I "It was a crushing blow, my dear | Mrs. Grundy, I assure you, and I shall ; never recover from it?never," she was | won't to say, pathetically, behind her j handkerchief of worn and ancient lace. On this Thanksgiving eve she awoke from a prolonged slumber, and saw her niece, Linnie, standing, pale and pensive, beside the window, blurred by the delicate frost-tracery of the early night. "Have you made up your mind yet, Linnie ? ' she inquired fretfully. "I?I have not, aunty," faltered the young girl, sighing as she turned from j the window and paused before a large < glass vase, in which a magnificent Span-! ish lily had just burst into bloom. For I Linnie, those green, rich leaves and the odor of the creamy flower aroused the i memory of a love sweeter than life and ; and enduring as mortality itself. It was on one delicious April morning j that Erie Warford brought her the ; young bulb with its green leaf-plants vv?anvin rr 4-viwmnrvi + v? a cnw/1 a yyA JUJOv Uic^ai-Ufs Wiivugu uuv trauii auu ??ater of the crystal jar, and bade her tend it carefully in memory of him. They -were not quite eo poor then as they were now. They had pretty rooms, and she had plenty of work coloring photographs in a dingy pretension of a studio, where she sang all day long and dreamed happy dreams of her lover ?nd her future when she should be his wife. It was spring then, and the days were i long and warm, and she was satisfied with life and all it might bring, despite +be peeviRh and eternal repinings of her burdensome relative. It was winter now, and the days were j "brief and dark, with storm and trouble, i She had no work, and the last penny of ' her earnings was gone. All her hand- i some dresses and precious trinkets were : in the pawn-shop. The last coal was dying out in the grate, and the last crumbs in the cupbonrd would not have fed " the one sparrow for whom God , careth." Of Erie Warford she had not heard sinoe the day on which he had brought , her the souvenir flower. He might be untrue, or he might be dead, or the , haughty and eccentrio old grandfather might have cajoled him into some love- ( leas, selfish marriage. " Don't be uneasy about the future, little one," Erie had said at parting. "The old gentleman ha?. never refused I \ xne anvthincr. and he will not oppose me 1 seriously in such a momentous matter as , marripge. Before this lilly flowers you . ?? shall be my wife, and he will be quite as ' nroud and fond of you as he is indulgent to me." But that was very long ago ; and as ( she thought of the inexplicable absence and silence of months, a big tear like a diamond dewdroD fell and flashed into the heart of the blossom. She had another suitor now?a wooer old and odd and rich and persistent. ] "You are a sensible young woman, , Miss Linnie," he 6aid one day, " and , therefore, I think, not pleased with pretty speeohes. On withered lips ar- , dent love is a burlesque; besides our aristocracy does not believe in any emotion whatever. Passion is ignored , by the ton?a marriage of affection is ridiculous." Linnie looked at him curiously. Was he satirical, diplomatic, or simply verbose? What did the queer twinkle mean in his jolly blue eyes ? He went on: " I need a wife. I have choBen a lady who is young, good-looking, dutiful, and would make my home pleasant. The fiViA KflAAmoo m*r xriT ol^oll antUn " J WMW vvwuivu fcuj 1UW A OUM11 OUUI/iO | upon her, unconditionally, odo half my ! forhine. Wh?t do yoa say, Linnie ?' I "1?" faltered the girl, pink from the i bands of her dark hair to the ruffle of ! simple tulle ^ihat circled herj pretty ; i ftwa" "Ihave chosen yon. Miss Linnie,"! was the business-like rejoinder. " Ton wish to buy me ?" she inquired, I paling with sudden anger. Mr. Gilmour langhed in his jolly j fashion, being neither hurt nor offend ' cd. "It ia the mode nowndays for hearts j \* to be bought and sold. Is there one i pure and perfect love-marriage in a cen ' tury, my Rirl ? I should be kind to you I alwavs, Linnie. In our case there j should be no pretty pathetio romance ; of the icicle freezing tbe rose and all i that sort of nonsense. Think it over? | think it over, child. I will speak to : your aunt, and you can decide?to- j . morrow evening, if not too soon." And the hour had come and her de oiaion was not made, and lier aunt Was ' furious. " You have not made up your mind j, yet, you say ??and Mr. Gilmour ex- j; peoted an answer immediately, I snp- ; pose you mean to refuse him," quavered v airs, Carll, " and I must go on living j this sort of life, starving and freezing, as long as I stay in this cold, ungrat e- | " ful world, which won't be long. After ** oil T'va fni* TfiTI Tiinnift V?atxt r?or? you be so crael?so positively wicked 1' j "Don't aunty," returned Linnie, j faintly, her delicate form quivering as if , from a blow, and another scalding tear | dropped into the heart of the lily. " you thankless and unreasonable creature," snapped Mrs. Oar 11. " Did ; 1 not take you when you were an ox phaned, half-starved baby and bring j you up as my own ? Have I not clothed ; and educated you and given you a ( home ?" The beneficent woman uttered these ; questions glibly, as she ought, for she had asked them every day for the last twenty years. Linnie was silent and her heart was i ;Stter. Tiie most common servant would! scarcely have cared for the sort of life : Linnie had led with the capricious Mrs. j Carll. Yet, like all noble souls, Linnie had . exaggerated every deed of real kindness, and in her gratitude forgot the petty - wrongs, the senseless tyranny, and the unjust burden of responsibility imposed upon her young life." " What have I not done for you, Melinda ? Are you deaf that you stand there like a stone idiot and never an swer ? Will you marry Mr. Gilmonr, or ^r will you refuse him and let your poor old eiok aunt lie here and die of despair v-* , and poverty ?" And then the sobs began to come,- and (the pleaded as only such a woman for such a cause can plead. " O, be merciful my dear child. It - ' will save my life, and it will be a blessing to you. Mr. Gilmour is an exceptionally fine man, and once his wife you would want for nothing." And thus she persuaded and expostulated, until the girl almost yielded, Quite. " " Surely Erie Warford has nothing to do in causing you to hesitate ?" " Everything," answered Linnie. " Melinda, I am ashamed of you," cried her relative, roused into a fury of sham dismay. " Have you no self respect that you still care for one wlio has treated you infamously ?" " He be dead, aunty." " Dead ! What a Billy lunatic you are to be sure! Erie may have a rich grandfather, whom he will find it profitable to please in marrying. But it is profoundly evident to me that when the young man ieft you he. did not intend to return. Ho i8 iust the Borfc of man to amuBe himeelf in a flirtation of this kind. For gracious sake don't let Mr. Gilmour Baspect anything of it." The girt turned, ner ciarK eyes aure and her delicate cheeks aflame. "I shall tell Mr. Gilcsou!'," she emphatically declared ; "and then if he still desires nie for a wife, I will marry him." She had scarcely uttered her sudden decision when her elderly suitor came. The gentleman looked curiously doubtful and anxious. Perhaps his old heart was not an icicle after all I " Then I can never hope that you will love me?" he observed, after listening to what Linnie had to tell him of Erie Welford. She turned upon him her pro'ad, still, white face. Under that impassive mask she thought that to the day of her death she could parry a passion-haunted heart. " Begging your pardon," she replied; " was not this to bo a business transaction only ?" He smiled at the ready response. " Whioh we must discuss and arrange in a sure and proper way," he said, and made his departure only half pleased. Shortly sfier various and costly articles for a superb feast were sent up to the little room. "We shall have our Thanksgiving dinner," said Mrs. Carll delighted, and that night her dreams were those of the gratified and self-satisfied. Not so the young girl who lay by her side ; for Linnie was wretchedly sleep- i lass and remorsefully miserable, and all night through the dusk of the chamber j her lily flower gleamed just as ghostly j white as her own troubled face. XnaniiaglVliig inurmug I auu luo merry bells poured out their peals on the sweet crisp air. Beautiful women in furs and velvets and diamonds passed by to the palaces of worship, or the mansions of feasting. And yet everywhere, even within the sound of those gleeful bells, thousands of hungry innocents shivered with cold, and thousands of homeless men and women could say with the persecuted one: "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests, but the son of man hath not | where to lay bis head." I wonder if the world is ever as thank- j ful for the good it has done as for the good it has received ? Linnie thought bitter things that morning. All her life Bhe had been hampered and fettered, and now she was the football of a destiny that it seemed impossible to avoid. Much as she esteemed Mr. Gilmour, she shrunk from such a soulless union with him as she would have done from any other thing that desecrates womanhood. " Cursed be the social wants that sin against the strength of youth ! Oarsed be the social lies that wrap ub from the living tenth!" Over and over again Linnie quoted this anathema from "Locksley Hall," j marveling if ever she in the life to come should be strong and brave enough to "drug her memories." The Thanksgiving feast, that she had scarcely tasted, was over, and her relative, taking her siesta in an easy-chair, when Mr. Gilmour came. Linnie shivered as she saw him. " My dear child, do you repent yet 3f your promise ?" he asked her kindly. " A promise is to me a sacrea tiling,' she replied, evasively. "Granted. But were Erie Waiford still living ?" " He hae broken bis vows to me," was the laconic response. " Perhaps so. Perhaps he is living, I ind is true. Perhaps he is on his way to pou even now." She struggled to her feet, and fixed her Btartled eye3 upon his face. " You have something to tell me,"she cried. "Whatis it?" For answer, the gentleman opened j the door and admitted Erie Warford. ; " I have brought my grandson to call upon you, Miss Linnie," he said. But the girl heard nothing except her i [over's fond and passionate words, and aaw nothing but hiB dear face, bo unchanged and true. "You forget yourself, Melinda,"observed Mrs. Carli, greatly shc. ked. "You are mistaken," retorted Mr. Gilmour; " she forgot herself when she allowed you to direct her judgment and her heart. 8he would have gone to the altar like a lamb to the sacrifice after you had convinced her it was her duty. You would have sold her to me that you might live in idleness and self indulgence. Erie, don't be selfish ; I want to ! have a word with the little ODe." Linnie turned and pnt out both her j pretty hands, with a little gesture of i coaxing deprecation. "Forgive me, child," ho began, be-' fore she could speak; "I was bitterly disappointed when Erie refused to marry a rich woman whom I had chosen for him. Finally I made conditions with him. He was to stay there, looking to my businesf, while I was to come here j and see you. If you proved to be all he j represented I agreed to withdraw my ; objections. The boy believed you so true that no length of silent absence | ?MAVA tfAn rtx oonnflior I UUU.IU J'"' iwi^r.L wi aUV/VUVA} l eh ? But, ny child, I never had a thought of allowing you to sacrifice yourself, and I am very fond and proud j of you, my ohildren." So they were all happy except Mrs. Carll, who considered herself the most j vastly abused of all womankind. "This is the happiest Thanksgiving of my life," said Linnie's handsome i young lover, after they were all calm j again. " And, by-the-way, I fancy this | lovely lily kept back its blossom for my ; return. It should have bloomed weeks ago. Did it, too,Jwith my love, whisper j I -wait ?' Was it a long -waiting, dear ?" j " Very long?very sorrowfully long," j she returned; and a tear, for past im- I rest and present bliss, dropped again 1 iuto the white heart of the winter lily, j Indian Lovers. We find thg following in a letter from Kansas : One of the dancers, who was j really handsome and of Buperb phy- j sique, wbb pointed out to us as the "loving husband," an anomaly in Indi- ; an domestic economy.and which niis the whole tribe with amazement. There is I quite a romance attached to him. He 1 served with great bravery and faithful- ; ness under General Hilea in his cam-! paigna against the Nez Perces, leading ' the charge against them and conducting I himself in a highly meritorious man- ; ner, returning to his tribe covered with ; glory. To show their appreciation of | his valor, the tribe selected the most i beautiful maiden for guerdon. "None | but the brave deserve the fair " was a i truism in this case, for he was smitten by her charms, and has exhibited the most exemplary devotion ever since; riding by her side through long marches, and cheering her in their mutual exile by love and tenderness. Wherever opportunity offers they wander off alone, finding pleasure in that sweet solitude of two, after the most sentimental fashion. Anotheif redoubtable warrior with them has met a cruel fate in loving a too disdainful maid. He purchased his bronze love of her father for three ponies, which he gallantly delivered before -securing his bride ; bnt, alas t love laughs at lucre even in the wild wood,and she steadilv refused to enter bis tepee or bestow a look upon him. Instead of hiding his broken heart like a white lover, or finding oblivion for his sorrow in fire-water, he goes about with his blanket drawn tightly over his face as a signal of his degradation, an object of derision to the whole tribe. Lond and piercing are his lamentations, and no man sees his face, and the father-in-law retains the ponies and the obdurate maid refuses to be wooed, much less won.

At one time it was p bably the only form of sugar kno and to-day is one of our most delicii articles of food.
