" Well, I must ?.'onlc?s that she lias rather an attractive face, villi her large hazel eyes and that profusion of red-brown hair, although } her nose isn't quite Grecian, and the lints of her mouth are just a trifle out of drawing."

Now 1 will look over the list with ( you.'1 < Miss Kitty went back to her seat, in a 1 .genuine passion. J It was Anson Payson's first day in j the Mellendale factory, and of course it 1 proved rather a fatiguing one. : The monrinfr, bleak and cloudy, had s _ settled down into a good old-fashioned * fcjnuw-storiu, before the afternoon; and ' . when at last the throb of the engines had ceased, the whiz of the numberless * machines was stil;, and the flock of 1 tfiris had disappeared one by one, Mr. J 1'ay son locked his desk, pocketed the 1 keys, and also sallied forth into the * snowy twilight of the November f night. cut, unaccustomed as he was to tlie Mellcndulc roads and their windings, he soon became disagreeably aware that he had somehow ihisscd his way. "They told rue toturnoli at an old stone mill," he pondered, " but I have seen no stone mill; nor any linger-post. 1 do believe," standing still, and trying to peer through the white wilderness of Hying snowllukes, "tuat I am destined to be a modern Ha be in-lhe-Woods. And the wor?t of it all is that there are such a number of -awkward precipices along the edge of this woody ro id. where one might walk off, in this half light, and never know how he came U> his end? Stay! luckily there is a red ljj.-hi gleaming through the darkness. Il must come from 3'_>me farmhouse window, and I am . saved from my doom!" 1 But as Anson Pay son knocked at the a door oJ the jiitlc one-story dwelling, he lell that he was very weary, with hands t / and feet numbed Irom the biting blast, and garments wet through by the damp and penetrating snow. The opening of the door revealed a cheerful little *' interior," which would have done no disci edit to the pencil of a l)uich artist -a blaze of pine logs on the hearth, a candle burning in its brass . . sconce, a red-and-blue ragcarpet on the tloor, a round cherry table set- out for supper, and a huge gray cat purring cosily on the hearth-stone.

M. Theodore Gohrs, a ;entleman from Grasburg, who pro>osed to make the ascent of the moun- 1 ain from Grindelwald. was accom>anied by the guides Rudi and Inabnitt. They passed the night in the hut on the 3crgli, and set out next morning soon ifter two o'clock. At 7:30 they began he ascent of the upper part of the lungfrau, intending to gain the summit jythe Roththal Couloir, which is freluently swept by avalanches. Their vay lay up a steep siope of snow, surncunted by a great wall or cornice of ce.and traversed at its low. r extremity >yja wide crevasse.

Fortunately for ,hem, it was partiahy filled with snow, tvliich broke their fall, and M. Gohrs md Rudi escaped with a few not very serious contusions. Inabnitt, however, jeemed badly hurt. He could not rise, ind when his comrades tried to held lim up, he begged them to desist, the east movement causing him excruciatng agony.

After a walk of two miles he eached a log house in the woods. A voman, five children, three dogs and a amily of tame coons occupied the one ingle room in the house. The furniure was all home-made, the tableware :onsisted entirely of tin dishes, and only , >ne bed wa3 visible. The envoy stated lis errand, and the woman replied: " Flour!

A correspondence with hair was once ittcmpted between a notorious Parisan .hief in durance vile and his comrades >utside. A letter was sent to the prisoner from his sweetheart, containng merely a lock of hair wrapped in ;hejleaf of a book. The jailor did not jonsider the souvenir important enough ;o be delivered; but in a few days there jame a similar inclosure, and yet mother. This aroused suspicion, and lie governor took the matter in hand, fle examined the leaf of tlie book; it thnt. nf a common novel, twentv-six ines on ft page. Then he studied the lair and noticed the small quantity of ;lie gift. Counting the hairs, he found hem of unequal length, and twenty-six n number, the same as the lines on the )a<re. Struck with the coincidence, lie aid the hairs alon? the lines of the pane vhich they respectively reached; beglnling at the top with the smallest hair. Vftersome trouble he found that the md of each Lair pointed to a different etter, and that these letters combined ormed a siang sentence which informed he prisoner that his friends were on he watch, and that tin; next time he eft the prison to be examined an atempt would be imule to rescue him. 1'he governor Jaid his plans Accordingly. The attempt, was made, but the ru-uuers oil into their own tran. TheSwi-is arc thrifty. Every avaiiibiefootof their land is made to proluce some valuable crop." Some ot the noun tains mauy hundred feet high arc creen to the very top. FOR THE FAIR SEX. Fashion IVotes. Large collars and fichus arc much worn. Tea and coffce-stained laces are much worn. Pilerim suits are destined to great popularity. String of new bonnets are o! plush, lined with satin. Large red chenille cords will be used in millinery. Traveling: suits of gray cheviot are in pilgrim style. Jet and garnet will be used on dresses ?nd bonnets. Hoods or cowls appear on straight Directory mantles. Long straight Directory mantles are the lall wraps. Skirts are either very plain or much ruffled and draped. Old India shawls are cut up to make trimmings for nun's veiling costumes. Heavy gros grain ribbon strings are out on the deepest mourning bonnets. White linen lawn with black polkafor dots, is liked plain morning dresses. Wonlon o-nnris hnrderedon one selvage with stripes are a feature on all fall goods. Tamise cloth is the choice for a second best dress for mourning, and is worn all the year. White flannel entirely without lining is liked for morning wrappers by ladies in mourning. Plush and furry felt hats and bonnets are among the tirst fall productions and importations. In the winter heavy twilled silks promise to be worn both in mourning and in colors. The new metal ornaments for hats and bonnets are large and very handsomely finished. A set of fabrics known as crepc cloths have the crinkle of crepe woven in wool of various qualities. Bags or reticules carried on the arm or fastened to the waist accompany nearly all new costumes. Cloth of gold embroidered with pearl, garnet and amber beads, appears among choice fall importations Shirring is not liked lor trimming mourning dresses; crepe especially is not effective when shirred. Long pile silk plush, in bright, dark colors, tipped with white or old gold, will be much used in millinery. Coiflures are not quite so low in the back as they have been, but the tendency is to plain and flat,not fluffy, hairdressing. Black English straw bonnets are used now in liclit-er mourning for summer, and are trimmed with crape and a little dull jet. Canton crabc and the French crape of light quality imitating the Canton are both used for dressy morning toilets in summer. A square of Bayonnaise with a fold ol the same set on all around, or else a wide band of crape, is tlie favorite shawl for elderly ladies. Camel's hair, wool armure with fine figures, and cachemire des Indes, will be worn through the fall and winter as lieht morning dresses. There is an effort to make all mourning attire more wholesome by using less crape, and by wearing it a shorter time han was formerly done. Large and finely-finished clasps, resembling cloak ciasps, but more ornate and jeweled, will be used to fasten the plush strings of bonnets. Black crape is thought to be so very unwholesome when worn in contact with the skin that it is now very iittle used for collars and cufi's. Gold and silver brocaded stuffs for evening wear, as parts of costumes, are still further enriched with pearl and crystal bead embroideries. The richest evening and fun dress toilets are made more ornate with oeaa embroideries of jet, pearls, crystal, amber and garnet than ever. A pretty sash to wear with a white costume can be made of white toik riligteuse, finished ut the ends with sections of India shawl patterns. A favorite combination for fall suits is coachman's drab for the principal part of the costume, with bordering of shaded stripes of heliotrope and Ophelia. The wash dresses most used in mourning are of Scotch gingham in tine black and white checks, of broken bars, or else narrow stripes of two shndes of gray with black. Bayonnaise is used for both dresses and shawis. It is highly commended by modistes for lightness, its smoothness, and its jet black hue that is not affected by either dust or dampness. Very sheer cambric handkerchiefs with narrow hem, hem-stitched, and a black initial or monogram, are preferred to those with wide black hems formerly used by ladies in mourning. Very little drapery is used now on handsome mourning dresses, as softflowing breadths of rich materials are in more retined taste. To keep these skirts softly flowing they should not be lined. Armure silks and gros grains of demiluster are trimmed with crape for rich dresses for the house, but street dresses of silk and crape are little used, the preference being for fine wool goods for suits. Coametlci. The term cosmetic rerers to every kind of personal adornment, with the exception of dress. It is derived lrora a Greek word that signifies "I beautify it has a rather wide signification, comprehending not only carmine, pearlwhite, etc., but pomatums, depilatories and many other substances. The practice of using cosmetics is of very ancient date. It is mentioned in several parts of Holy Writ, and a notion of the prevalence of these substances amongst the classic people of antiquity may be learned from the writings of Dvid, Martial and Juvenal. Perfumes are closely allied with cosmetics; their object is the improvement of personal appearance, as well as Lhe diffusion of an agreeable odor. Although the consumption of perfumery at the present day is enormous the luxurious Greeks and Romans, at a certain cpoch of their history, far surpassed the modern in this respect. A1C0I101 WilS awui'lg uiiKiiutvu IU tuuw, their perfumes were for the most part confined to such as had an oily basis. Iheir value as curative agents was very ureat; an appropriate perfume was given to each particular organ. Palm oil was considered good for the chceks and breasts; balsam mint for the arms, and wild thyme for the knees and neck. The odor of violets was held in gnat esteem by the Athenians. Myrrh was a favorite with both Greeks and Romans: besides being a constituent of perfumed ointments, it was used in fumigation. The vegetable extracts are infinitely superior to the mineral ones; but the best cosmetics are soap and water, exercise, air and temperance. With respect to red paints used for the skin, the vegetable reds alone are safe?such sis those mad? from cochineal, Brazilwood, etc. These are dyeing substances and are harmless; but the mineral reds, such as vermillion, red lead and minium, arc poisonous, and under no circumstances should be admitted to the toilet. Pearl white is a preparation of bismuth ; it is very pernicious to the skin, and if exposed to the fumes of sulphur, win IUIU uiiLun. The pomatum of the present day consists of perfumed grease, ox-marrow and other fats. Strictly speaking, the wurd pomatum, as applied to these preparations, is misused. The original composition was called pomntum from its containing apple. Gerarde says: "There is made an ointment with the pulp of apples and swine's grease and rose water wliich is used to beautify the face and take away the roughness of the skin, which is called in shop pomatums, of the apples whereof it. is made." The pomatums of the present day do not contain a particle of apple.?Detroit Free Press. \ Benutitul Wedding Gift. A curious and beautiful wedding gift has recently been executed in this qity. The fair recipient will have the proud distinction of being the sole possessor of such an ornament It consists of a solid gold chain ol tho cable pattern, of great weight, and so constructed as to be worn as a bracelet at will- To this chain is suspended a large circular locket, with gold back, crossed by a broad band of Ml 1 l 11 I iiiiu ?ii*?iiiuijii*4? iiuu cuuilui^u ijy lb mis^u chain of very delieato workmanship. The locket is a unique specimen of -X-.-. ?'--i nr artistic jewelry; it is of crystal, seal eneraved from the back, and painted. It has been produced by the only artist in this kind of work in London. The design is extremely elaborate; on the curling waves of a green sea, the Cambria, Mr. Ash bury's famous yacht, the winner of the ocean race in 1870, is coming proudly in, her white sails filled by the summer wind. The second object on the glittering expanse is the " spot boat" at Sandy Hook, its red hull, two black balls, ana the American ensign flying from it, forming an exquisite contrast of color. Tn the middle distance of this sea piece on crystal is a yacht, presumably the Cambria's defeated rival, miles behind, with tiny hull and speck-like sails, while the funnel and smoke of the tug waiting on the winner complete the design on the left. Nothing can be finer than the engraving and coloring of this unrivaled specimen of the artist's skill, and the originality of the design equals the splendor of the gift.?London World. Bordered Wooleiia. Woolen goods, with a border for trimming woven along the selvedge, is another novelty imported for autumn and winter dresses. These borders are three to five inches wide, and may be of the same color as the body of the goods, or in contrast, and are shown in Madras stripes and in rich Gobelin tapestry designs, as well as simpler brocaded patterns. The purple shades?plum, eveque, prelat, prune and amethyst?are largely represented in such goods; there is also bronze, bottle-green, old red and the various blue shades from peacockblue to the invisible blue-black.?Harper's Bazar.' Maine Mackerel. Middleton was impressed by the singular procession moving up the Atlantic coast'every year, and speculated about it from High Head as if from a peculiarly advantageous point for observing a pageant passing wholly under his eye. "It could .be made a fine decorative frieze of." he said, "full of moral lessons besides." It could be a kind of natural history Odyssey or Nibelungen, or a ? 1 ~ ? r i?aiikmoritifl f? Onri Q nemicyuiiiui imuuiuuubouuuiuwu^MV?V, for another Delaroche?the allegory of the mackerel on his way through life, his hopes and his fears, his virtues and vices, his friends and his enemies, his triumphs and disasters. The mackerel began their migration, he learned, or at least the first were taken by the fleet which went south after them, in deep water, sbout sixty miles below the capes of Delaware, early in March. They arrived on the Maine coast about the first of June, followed closely by the vessels, -which were presently strune all alons from Cape Ann to Cape Sable. Late in September they began to work to the southward, not schooling on their return, and by the middle of November hardly one would be found to the northward of Boston buy. This, al. Iea9t, was the habit of our American mackerel, which were looked upon as a distinct nation, with no affiliation with that which comes in over the Grand banks, spawns on the Magdalen islands, and remains in Canadian waters all winter. They seemed '*> come up along the coast, and strike inshore all about the same time, and the first notice of their arrival was often their appearance in the weirs on the bays and inlets. An advance guard preceded the main body often by a week or ten days. A mysterious live seed, of which Middleton could only hear that it was red, excessively hot, like pepper, and floated in the water, was thought to be the mackerel's principal inducement to come into the bays. He was passionately fond of it, and when it was ripe he was there, though it was a most reckless dissipation, for it was said that it was so not * !,?? ;? Vinrn ifra nrif. nf a fish IUUU 111 H VUiU MU1U Avwr ?? ?.j in a few hours, and it burned the hands of the fishermen in dressing such as had eaten it. A multitude of smaller marine creatures were fond of the red seed also. The tiny pilot-fish, perhaps a kind of fugleman for the mackerel, but more likely his prey, like the rest, came first; then shoals of herring, shrimp, squid, menhaden. The round, limpid jellyfish called the sun-squall, occurring sometimes almost numerously enough to sLop the way of a boat, sought it. Woe to them all! They can siratch but a furtive joy; the fierce mackerel follows them up, devouring them as they fly. The only bits of solidity in the or ganism of the limpid sun squall arc the lew red seeds, which it oeems not even to have the pleasure of digesting. The mackerel ruthlessly tears Ilia a pieces for them, and the sea is strewn with the remains of unhappy sun squalls. " Did the picture stop here, how Utile would the mackerel it of sympathy!" mused Middleton. "And indeed, after all this, he is not cae to call forth too much sympathy in any event; but the Nemesis that pursues him is terrible. ,riu - * AAMnJnfn /\f fliA monb-nrol II1C prUUL'3SIl?_i UUU3ISIS Ul uuv his prey, and his enemies. Now here he is, as oue might say, a wild young prodigal, in his laced coat of green and silver, pursuing every mad whim and selfish pleasure, and blinded by hid folly to the yawning pitlalls and omens of danger all about him. Or be may be looked upon as a Belshazzar sort of person, drunk with insolent pride, while at the very moment the Mede and the Persian are battering at the gate. Mcne, mene, tekel, upharsin! Thou art found a palatable article by mar** tastes, and thou shalt be weighed in the balance. The sinister shark is on thy track; the porpoise lunges from the right; dogfish, blue-fish, black-fish, from the left; the mackerel-gull swoops down from overhead ; the solemn whale cruises in thy wake, ready to dive below a school and blow it into the air, and though prevented by an unfortunate arrangement of ttie jaws from taking in the spiendid gulps that might be imagined, does it iery liberal justice; and lastly comes the great schooner of inexorable man, mnrnhii?t fo whnm nil thfi other enemies tire as nothing, and snares thee in lots of live hundred barrels in a day." A quaint apparent exception, and the onlv one, to the universal rule of rapine in the great procession was a little bird somewhat larger than a sandpiper?the sea-goose, so called. It sits over a mackerel school, and accompanies it in its course, whether out of an amicable sentiment of companionship, or as a rival for the mysterious peppery seed, is not quite certain.?ZTarcer's Magazine. The Chinese in New York. The New York correspondent of the Buffalo Courier writes as follows: The Chinese in New York, where they become more and more numerous very fast, care a great deal more about money than about religion. One of the charges against the Chinese, by the way?that they don't marry?is not quite true. Some of them do marry?when they can get white wives. A Chinaman and a white girl went to the mayor's office the other dav. and were made man and wife. A short "time before another Chinaman and a white woman, who appeared as his wife, were in the police court to settle a row about the name of their baby. The taste of the white girls who take washeewashee husbands can hardly be commended, but the wiishee-washcc men don't care much about the taste, I suppose, so long as they get wives. There is already Rome talk about asking the legislature to lorbid this kind of miscegenation, but what it may amount to I cannot say. As yet thore is no sign of a special demand for Chinese servants. Probably not more than fifty of the 2,500 Chinese in New York are employed in this way. I understand that some who have tried Chinamen have been glad to get rid of them after a few weeks. Tnere is no particular complaint, but a sort o general dissatisfaction. A Shocking Accnlent.

He was taken into a chemist's shop, and oils were administered and applied,but afterward in agonizing frenzy he escaped in a state almost of nudity irom a lodging-house and waa captured by the police and taken to the workhouse infirmary. * k?t ??

Very absurd statements sometimes appear in foreign journals about the United States. It would be gratifying to know what people can think of us, afur reading such statements as nave recently been made in letters written from New York and published in a daily paper of Paris called the Voltaire. The author ol these letters represents the people of the United States as being wholly possessed by " the demon oi politics and eloquence." "First," he says, " we have Congress continually debating; next, each of the thirty-eight States has its two houses doing the same; then innumerable conventions of party delegates are beginning to meet, in view ol the presidential election. Keeping these facts in mind," he telis his readers that thev " can form some estimate of the flood of saliva which threatens to submerge the republic." After this graceful introduction, heV"?? w*!ll itnnA '' a*% ii^on f ho fnro f\f mayo uc t iu vu ?u iuvu vi vuw tvuv v* the debates" in these numberless assemblies. To do this he describes an explosion which occurred in Congress recently, when General Sparks, of Illinqis, bounded out of his arm-chair, ran up to Monsieur Clymer, of Pennsylvania, thrust his fist in his face, and roared: "'If you say the amendment is not mine, your are a liar.' " Whereupon Monsieur Clymer furiously replied: 'I am above your insults, general!' "Explosion and tumult followed,"continues this lively correspondent, " besides cock-crowing, barking and mewing. You would think you were in a menagerie. The general is hustled out oi the house, and the session is suspended. { "'Apologze! apologize!' is the gen- 1 eral cry. The session is reopened. Monsieur Sparks offers some excases to the assembly, on condition that Monsieur Clymer withdraws his insinuations. New tumult. The speaker strikes vigorous blows with his mallet, crying, 'order!' 1 "At length the fiery general makes up his mind. 'For heaven's sake,' he cries, ' let us end this business. 1 with- < draw everything; I beg pardon of everybody; and now don't ask anything more.' The house laughs, and the scene ends with universal good humor." According to this imaginative writer, these explosive scenes do not always end so happily, and he tells a story of two members of the Kentucky legislature who, after a violent quarrel in tlie house, came out of doors, and had it out with their lists; their fellow-citizens forming a ring about them, and timing their rounds. "The spectacle," he adds, " was pronounced by the local journal to be ' more amusing than the ircus of Barnum, with all his ele- i phants.'" He ends his letter by informing the j readers or the Voltaire that it is a com- i mon thing in America lor children cf : eight or nine years of ags to carry bowie knives and revolvers, and to kill one another with them. To prove this he 1 gives a catalogue of eight cases of juvenile crime, all committed within a few days. Here is part oi the list: 1. Two newsboys of New York quarreled. "Puff! a revolver iB heard. One of the boys falls dead. The criminal is eight years old." Si. Two others quarreled; but having only?knives, the wounds tiiey inflicted upon each other were not mortal. "Age of the boys, twelve." "The passers-by," adds the writer," in both cases, remained passive witnesses of the battle. " In Pennsylvania a girl of eight years tried to Hang her brother, aged live, and when her lather objected sue addressed him thus: 'You are an oldiool, and I will kill you like a doe.'" From these specimen^ of juvenile be- 1 havior, the correspondent remarks, in j conclusion: "We can form a conception i of what society will be in America in j the future." C If all these incidents were exactly i true, the Frenchman's letter would not j be the less false, for he gives them as representative events, and not as exceptional ?Youth's Companion. A War Against Uees. The prefect of police has declared war against the bees of Paris. A complaint lodged against these proverbial patterns of industry brought the fact to light that there is one in " the capital of civilization "who owns no less than 1,000 beehives, and as each hive is said to contain about 4,000 inhabitants, their owner is the sovereign of 40,000,000 of subjects, who rob and torment their human neighbors to an appalling degree. Tne^e winged brigands sally forth to prey upon the sugar boiling works with which tUe neighborhood is studded, and which have proved to be a most profitable substitute for honoy-giving flowers. The owner of one of these sugar factories, who stands first in the list of complainers, calculates that the bees steal from him at the very least 25,000 francs' worth of sugar one year with another. He has tried some experiments with the marauders which tend to show their powers of depredaion. He relates, among other things that a large glass filled with syrup and placed in the open air was completely cleaned out within the short space of two hours. The workmen at those establishments look with even more unfriendly eyes upon the winged freebooters, as ilicy sutler in person from their greedtmsi. When the workman leaves the Jaciury lie is often covered with a ? sticky layer oi su^ar, and the watchful bees liuuii'dlately pounce upon him and i' turn hiut mtoatieid of pasture. In ? short, so manv misdeeds are charced against these busy and uselul insccts that it is not ini probr.ble the head oi the police will issue an order lor their ban- r: ishment lrow Paris.

Three men of wealth meeting not long lince in New York, the conversation turned upon their wives. Instead of inding fault with wostm in general, md their wives in particular, each one abeyed the wise man's advice, and gave aonorunto his wife. "I fell you what it is," said one of the men, " they may say \*hat they please iboutthe uselessnesa of modern women, but my wife has done her share in securing our success in life. "Everybody knows that her family was aristocratic, and exclusive, and all ihat, and when I married her she had never done a day's work in her lite; but when W. & Co. failed, and I had to commence at the foot ot the hill again, she discharged the servants and diose out a neat little cottage, and did her own housekeeping until I was better off again." "And my wife," said a second, "was an only daughter, caressed and petted to death; and everybody said, 'Well, if he will marry a doll like that, he'll make the greatest mistake of his life;' but when I came home the first year of our marriage, sick with the fever, she nursed me back to health, and I never knew her to murmur because I thought we couldn't afford any better style or more luxuries." "Well, gentlemen," chimed in a third, " I m arried a smart, healthy, pretty eirl, but she was a regular blue-stocking. She adored Tennyson, doted on Byron, read ^ ?? ? ? ? ? 4-iia fivaf kokn ftiijersuiiy miu nauicu tuu mou ulmvj Ralph Waldo and the second Maud; but I tell you what 'tis," and the speaker's eyes grew suspiciously moitt, "'when we laid little Maud in her last bed at Auburn my poor wife had no remembrances of neclect or stinted motherly care, and the little dressea that still lie in the locked drawer were all made by her own hands."

"Have you heard the story of the Spanish maidP" is the way society people open co.1*7' rations on the Pacific coast this season. The question refers to Mrs. Humphrey Moore, the wife of the deaf and dumb artist Moore, who, with , her husband, is uow living near San Francisco. Mrs. Moore was born Isabella de Cistne, the daughter of Colonel Cistue, of Saragossa, Spain. She is a cousin by marriage ol the ex-Queen Isabella, and altogether of high rank. When a little girl she became devotedly attached to a deaf and dumb playmate, and that she mieht converse with her friend learned the language of the fingers. Having grown to womanhood Senorita de Cistue left the College of Loretto, in Madrid, for Granada, where ber father has a winter residence. Her coal-black hair, lustrous black eyes and rich olive complexion soon won her recoznition as the beauty of the ancient Moorish capital, and her refinement and gentleness were themes for the local versemakers. A few months ago the dumb artist Moore, who had been traveling in Europe for several years, went to Granada to sketch some ol the scenes made so popular in America by Washington Irving, One day, while Moore was in Alhambra, the senorita's robe swept over his easel, and in attempting to apologize the senorita's escort discovered that the artist was a mute. The senorita became interested at once, and apologized in person, quickly recalling the sign alphabet learned in her girlhood. Moore fell desperately in love with the senorita, and (to keep a fivehundred page romance into the space usually allotted to truth) the senorita grew enamored ot Moore. They were married in Granada, and after a tour of Spain and the continent sailed for San TTronpiapo. Why should the spirit of mortal be proud, when a four-dollar hotel clerk can wear a bigger diamond than the millionaire.?BtoominsjUm Eve. NATURE'S REMEDY.
