I''
Son? ot the Steam,
Harness mo down with your iron bands;
Be sure of your curl) and rein;
. For I scorn the power of your puny hands,
As the tempest scorns a chain.
How I laughed as I lay concealed from sight
For many a countless hour.
At theehildifh boast of human might,
And the priile of human power.
When I saw an army upon the land,
A navv*upon the sea".
Creeping along, a silail-like band,
Or waiting ths wayward breeze;
When I marked the peasant fairly red
With the toil which he daily l??re,
As he feebly turi.ed the tardy wheel.
Or tugged at the weary oar.
When I measur-. ' tl-..- ranting courser's speed,
The flight of tl:-- e irrier dove,
As they bore the lav. a king drcreed,
Or the lines of imputi*. nt love,
I could not but think how the world would feel,
As these were out.-tripped afar,
When I should be bound to the rusliing keel,
Or chained to the living car.
Ha ! ha! ha ! they found me at last,
They invited me fi.rth at length;
And I rushed to my throne with a thunder
blast,
Anil laughed in my iron strc ngtli.
Oh, then he saw a wondrous chenge
On the earth and the oe an wide,
Where now my fiery armies range,
Nor wait for wind or tide.
Hurrah ! Hurrah ! the waters o'er
The mountain's steep decline;
Time?space?have yielded to my power;
The world! the world is mine !
The rivers the sun hath earliest blest,
Or those his Warns decline.
The giant streams of the queenly west,
Or the Orient floods divine!
The ocean pales w here'er I sweep';
I hear my stivugth re joice;
And the monster.- of tin briny deep
Cower, trembling, at my voice.
I carry the wealth and the lord of earth,
The thought of lus god-like minil;
? The wind lags niter inv going forth,
The lightning is left behind.
In the darksome depths of the fathomless mine
My tireless arm doth ]?ln v:
Where the rock* never si-c the sun decline,
Or the dawn of t':c- glorious day.
I bring earth's glittering jewels up
From the hidden caves below.
And I make the fountain's granite cup
With a crystal gush oVrflow.
I blow tlio Dellows, 1 foige the steel,
In all the shops of trade;
I hammer the ore and turn the wheel
Where my arms of strength are made;
I manage the furnace, the mill, the mint;
I carry, I spin, I weave,
And all my I put into print
On every Saturday i ve.
I've no muscle to weary, no breast to decay,
No bones to be "laid on the shelf,"
And soon I intend you may "go and plav,"
While I manage this world myself.
i>ui uiuuuas iuu u?">j: wiui \wi?i uuu i?uuu??,
Bo sure of your curb an 1 rein;
For I scorn the strength of your puny hands,
As the tempest scorus a chain.

The Victim of a For!orn Hope.
One morning Mark Devine found a
note waiting for him on bis oflice desk?
a note without a crest, or monogram,
or painted device; the paper pure
white, thick, satin smooth, faintly and
curiously perfumed, with the mingled
odor of violets and frankincense. The
handwriting was easy, with the ease of
constant, yet careless practice, and the
signature that of a woman rising rapidly
to fame and wealth upon the ladder of
her splendid mind and arduous, welldirected
labor. He had known her well
three years befo'e, when she bad come,
alone and unaided, to pursue her career
' in the busy city. They had met at a
pleasant boarding-hon^c, whero there
was really a home element, which called
' p h- it. v jii_ c ;
iorm iLie jumuj leeungs in us lumaies
in their intercourse. He had found lier
o always bright, agreeable, ready of
speech, full of resource?a companion
much to be desired in the enforced intimacy
of a transient abode. When she
' had found her level and taken hold,
she sent for her mother, and went to
her own house, and, gradually, they had
drifted apart. He had heard of her late,
more and more frequently, and had
partly resolved to seek her out and
renew their friendship. Struggles and
^^6uecess had separated them, but with
^^^^wr^as wi'h him, he felt sure the
memory of the old clays was a pleasant
one, and a return to them full of
pleasant hopes. Now, she sent for him.
The few lines of the note ran thus :
3Iay I ask you, 3ir. Dcvine, to cull 011 me
at my lion.se 011 Wo'lncwJav or Thursday evening
of this wee ); ? I will not detain you long,
and you will before you leave, that you
have greatly obliged SELMA. D. I'JRNEV.
Mr. Devine sat a moment balancing
the note on his linger. Then he dashed
off an ai swer. and sent it by the boy.
On Wednesday evening?in June and
perfect!?he was shown into the dimlylighted,
exquisitely appointed parlor of
a house far removed from the tiny abode
in which he had seen her last.
A strange sense of unreal yet familiar
surroundings came over him. It was
- . liVfl a ennfused drenni. The befiutv.
the luxury, the quiet elegance were
hitherto unknown in any thought he
ever had of her, yet, at once ami forever,
*' they became a part of her to him.
"It is ridiculous!" he exclaimed,
standing before the mantel mirror in its
carved and massive frame, and looking
at himself with a puzzled air. "But I
. oould swear I would have known the
joom for hers anvwhere." He started.
. She had come noiselessly in, and he saw
reflected, her pale face, anid fine,
dark eyes over his shoulder. She was
not smilinfvbut au expression of infinite,
joy struck him as he turned
to her.
"You are very good, Mr. Devine."
she said, holding out her band. "Re*
. memboring your habits of old, I scarcely
expected you would be at liberty upon
the instant. Had you really noengage;;
ment for this evening ?"
He laughed, and flushed.
"The old days, Miss Birney, were
long ago. I am not quite so eager in
tha Dursuit?of uleasure. shall I sav ?"
"It were truer, perhaps, to call it by
another nam",' she said, "since the
sport was often very like the boys and
the frogs, and the pleasure all on one
side. Sit down, and tell me, to begin
with, what became of the dark little
beauty I left you raving about ?"
"She?" Mark paused, looked doubtful,
caught her eye, with its subtle
gleam of mirth and answered, hurriedly,
"She is married, I think. Yes, I am
* quite sure of it. But I have not heard
of her for a year."
"Yet I thought that really, the 'love of
your life.' Has it not found you yet?
No!" as he shook his head in comical
depression. "But I must spare you.
How easily one falls into old habits,
and takes up another's life where one
laid it down! Tell me all about yourself
_ before i enter upon the object of our
meeting. Tell me everything, as you
used."
She asked it easily enough, but he
found it impossible to comply. The
pale face and the dark eres, the smae
white hand and its dull heavy ring of
barbaric gold were the same he had
studied in his hours of idle chatter and
half-romance, half confidence. But
there was something more here than of
old. The self-possession, the sense of
power exerted and acknowledged, the
graceful poise of the stately little figure,
the perfect yet unique, taste of the
simple,.yet costly toilet, were new to
the Selma Birney he had known and
counted a "first rate friend." He was
used to women, spoiled and petted by
them as he had ever been, but to-night
there was an unknown field before him,
and he knew it. To pour out as he used
all sorts of confidences, rhapsodies, confessions
and excuses, was a thing impossible,
indeed. There was in his hostess
a hidden power that moved him to
strange new desires and aspirations,
that appealed at once to the higher na,
ture he had almost ceased to think of as
his; that awoke him to earnestness and
self-re9pect in a way that thrilled him.
In the conversation that followed Le
was at his best. Skillfully, steadily,
sheled him on from one topic to another,
never directly touching upon his own
life, but drawing out his opinions, flashing
light into his thoughts, putting into
words half-formed resolves rendering
clearer and clearer fair, yet stern, aspects
of duty against which he had often
closed his eyes. And always, it was
himself, not his companion, who, apparently
prompted speech and ennobled
. thought. Au exhilaration of mind,
such as he had not known for years, pure
* and exalted, grew upon him, and was
evident iu his sparkling, fearless eye,
. his animated words, his full soft resonant
voice. Miss Birney sank into the emiV.
' ,
f ?
brace of her bamboo chaise-lounge ant
j watched him eagerly, breathlessly, de
spairingly, with glowing eyes and quiver
ing lips. When lie ceased there wa
silence. Miss Birney roused herself an*
sat upright.
"I promised not to detain yon," sh
said, in a slow, clear voice, that h
j knew must be the result of an effort fo
| self-control, and at which he wondered
i "I must keep my word and proceed t
i explaiu ruy motives for requesting tlii
> interview. You do not know them, an
' you will, doubtless, iindthem a surpris
j and shock. I intend to be perfectl
frank with you. Let me ask one favo
j of you. Do not speak to me until
i have told 3*ou all. Promise me that!"
"I promise," said he, gravely an
! briefly, awed by her manner, her palloi
i and the pathetic sadness of her eyes.
She bent her head a moment on ho
! hand and he saw it trembled. The
she raised it suddenly, looked him fu!
in the eyes, and said:
"in less than three months I shall li
in my grave. Unless I am restored t
health by a miracle ; there is no hop
of escape, no hope of reprieve. I hav
known it now three months and tw
weeks, and am used to the thought a
most! I have made all arrangements?
far as is possible. I am gathering u
the I00.-.C ends and fraved-ont juirpo.se
day by day, in the effort to leave m
life-work perfected as far as it has gont
There is not much to regret in takiu
leave of all. Except for the happines
' I never had. I cannot mourn."
She paused, as though choosing th
words wherewith to proceed. Miiulfi:
of his promise ho sat .silent and horroi
struck studying her face. Her eyes ha
fallen, and ho saw a sudden faint, swil
color flash into her pallor as sh
thought.
I 'The happiness I never had!" sh
I repeated, softly. "Mine has been th
saddest life possible for a nature sue
! as mine. I have stood always at tli
I j-'ate of Paradise, dumb and chained
! while others passed in before my eye
I to waste the fruits for which I lmngere
; and thirsted, to trample on the beaut
j that mocked for ever my longing eye?
j to destroy wantonly the temple upo
i which I prayed night and day to be a]
I lowed to labor in its building up. I hav
j been poor?vilely poor?so poor,
I wanted the plainest necessaries of life
j and yet my tastes and my desires coul
I only have been satisfied by the mot
j perfect, the most refined, the dainties
i of art's productions. That was mortif
I cation of flesh and spirit. It was a Ions
j drawn agony. And it is only ende
j when it is too late. I have been ill an
' in oain so many years, that I forget th
very sensation of rest and case : and ai
the time I have been sternly, unflinel1
inglv, rigiilly forbidden the quiet an
the absence of toil that would hav
made my burden lighter. I have th
fondest nature, the most passionate!

one thrill of happy love. Maddened

very vergo of that world, respect fo
which, or, rather, the proud determine

have kept me silent as long as 1 lieli
any part or lot in it. There is nothini
now to hold me back from asking forth

yond all words?I mean?your presence.
A silence, dumb as the stars of heaven
fell upon them. To neither of there
confused and palpitating with hope
fear, surprise, passion, was it a dari
and hopeless moment. There was in it
mysterious t-hadow faint glimmers am
sparkles of life that meant?one kne\
not what. Mark bent forward, and lai<
his hand on hers firmly, tenderly, ye
gently, in its strength. She lifted it t<
her cheek like a child.
"You always said yon would like t<

not mind doing such a little thing fo
me. I do not ask much, do IV
"I will do anything I can for youanything!
I am truly grieved?I an
more sorry for this than I can tell you.'
"Thank you," she said, simply. "I
will soon be over, and I do not care, i
you will only come to me now and thei
?when no one else has a claim on you.'
"I will come as often as you say
There is no one who can have a stronge:
claim. They are all newer friends thai
you are."
The happy nature, crushed, wearied
breaking down under the lot she hai
not depicted darkly enough, ros<
I blithely to a gleam of sunshine. Then
? was something inexpressibly arch in tin
1 flash of her eye as she repeated, in i
1 tone of infinite expression :
"All I aud stiil their name is legion ?'
i "Yps." ho said, crravelv: "and ]
! thank God, Sol ma, no nearer, no mor<
| limited bond than a legion of light co
j quctries binds me now. I am free, dea:
j a lid honored friend, to do your will."
' Oh, Mark!" she said, "and I thanl

I before the end begins. After that"?
j she paused and shuddered?"after thai
I will have done with all but the pain:
of death. You will never regret that
you helped mo to meet them by all tli?
j strength that only happy hours eai
j give us."
The tiny clock on the mantel chimet
! the hour.
j "I must not keep you longer," sh<
I said, "or you will count my promise a:
j nothing. But I could not help it, anc
; I trust you have rot been very muci

"I have had a most strangely sad ant

"T<i}l" m'cT one thing. Are you?ar
I yea sorry you came ?"
j "I am not," he replied, decisively
| holding in his both her trembling hands
and looking down info her uplifted eye:
until they sank beneath his gaze.
"Good-night," she said, "and com*
soon again."
"Good-night," ho answered, "and !
will be here?to-morrow V"
"If you care to come."
"Then it will be to-morrow."
And it was. Mark Devinc went hom<
in a whirl of emotions. What had hap
pencd to him ? What change had conn
over her? Was it pity that moved hin
to such iufinite tenderness for her'
How dreadful the thought of deatl
taking her out of his life! Two month:
and two weeks before those wonderfu
sweet eyes should be closed for ever
What a voice she had ! He could heai
it when he chose, dwelling with sucl
pathos on tho^e words: "The happiness
I never liad." Then the shuddering
horror of that sentence. "It was a long,
drawn agony"; the pitiful regret of
"And it is only ended when it is toe

Could it?amid il moan all it was cupa

j sufficient to prompt this action 011 lie:

how much more she might mean by the

Over and over he recalled their past

1 of it, he could think of nothing else
! than Selma Birney until he presented
himself before her at the earliest peri
missible hour of the next evening.
This time he watched the door eagerly,
and saw her come floating down the lonjj
! staircase and through the curtained arch
all in white, and scarce less colorless,
j She met him with a timid air in spite ol
her cordial greeting, and during the
whole visit was so far removed, in liei
pleasant grace and cheerfulness, from
I the agitated woman of the previous
evening, that he could not recur to the
thoughts he bad nervously combatted
all the day. She was certainly charming.
Her conversational powers had
alwavs been fine, and study, prnctice,
the desire to please those superior tc
1 i herself in years and honors, had so im-1
- j proved them as to render her. the rival,
-1 of the much-vaunted "talkers" of his-!
s j tory. There was about her, moreover, !
.1 ; that witchery of personal attraction j c<
I some women possess to the never-end- j "
e ing confusion and ruin of men, and *c
t- 1 others?a gifted and glorious exception, ^
r few in number?make use of to lead a]
I. them on to the best of which they are 81
0 capable. To be near her was pleasant "
s in itself, Mark felt. He left her, j ^
it pleased with himself and her; elated, "
e he knew not why, and hoping, he knew a
y not what. i c
>r ' It would be a needless task to track ri
1 j Mark Devine through the slow advance n
i of the two months lie counted, at last, , c
(1 j hour by hour. Daily he grew in strength w
r, ! and tenderness, in nobleness of thought ?
! and pure ambition as the wonderful w
r nature of this woman opened before him. c<
n In one of their earliest interviews she ^
11 had begged that nothing might be said c
of the future. "I have said all I need a
e to make von understand. Let me be "
o something more than a charnel-house
ie memory when all is over for us. There "
c is another side to death, Mark ! That i P
o will lit itself naturally to the best life ~
1- we can live here.*' From that time no
is | direct allusic :i to her approaching death j1
p | was ever made, but in a thousand and ?
>s one nameless ways he was aware that *
y ; the thought of it was never absent from c
?. her mind, and that she constantly P
g labored and planned with it in vain, j c
i<? | Yet she seemed very, very happy. A f
I quiet look of sweetness and voice and I1
c manner grew upon her, a charm that ; 11
[j | everyone felt lighted her eye and rested
r_ j on her lip with each smile. And Mark P
t] ! Devine loved her with a very agony of "
| love. It tore his gay, proud heart with | 81
0 j storms of jiassionate sorrow when away ; ^
| from her, ard sent him hungering and ^
e i despairing to learn the joy of her dear ^
e | presence anew, and add yet keener ! "
l! | pangs to the consciousness of his ap- : "
P | proaching wreck.
[ i The last day of the two mouths came I 11
s ; and passed. The last day of the two ^
(| , weeks that were to have seen tho end ! *\
v j was over. The full three mouths had J
" ; drifted into the abyss of time, aud still j "
^ j Selrna Birney lived. More than that, [
[. i the color had come into hersoft cheeks, 11
e | and strength she had not known for ?
I years into her fair roiind limbs. Mark, "
> | trembling in hope, was shocked to find j 11
a shadow of another sort falling upon *
t hispath. Unmistakably she had changed a
toward him. Their close and happy : a
[. | intercourse was sadly marred by a i 0
r. j reserve he strove in vain to surmount. ?:
(] At last, in a passion of hurt feelings, u
j disappointed hopts and vague tortures, i P
e lie burst out one evening : j ^
[j "Selnia, I can bear it no longer. I j ^
??>'.</ speak in spite of your wish. What . ^
L] has happened V Now that I almost dare j "
c to hope, now that you have been : M
e spared to me even a little longer, oh, j s:
v my darling, what has turned our? j ^
n friendship into pain to you?" j &
l( She did not speak, but he saw her j 0
q i knit her fingers in a close clasp, and ho | "
r i felt her tremble as he leaned upon her j
j chair. i ^
3 | "Listen to me, <,lien, since you will J ?
L] | not speak out!" he cried, almost;11
rr' angrily. "In these months I have come i c
e i to love you as never a man loved woman j
j ?yes! I am sure of it, for never did 1 ^
? | man learn the sweetest of lessons with j ^
l( ' such a fate impending and unavoidable, i ?
i] | I have not dared to tell you lest I dis- j "
, turb your so much-needed calmness, u
t j but I cannot, I cannot bear it in silence. 1 8
s j Unless you hate me it cmmot pain you : 8
} -to know I love you. And, oh, Selma, , r]
v I you do not, you surely do not hate me I 0
] ! ?you must love me a little ?" I 7
l Then she rose up quickly, and turned ! 11
3 j toward him flushing, paling, trembling . a
in tears and laughter, and crying, | 6?
51 softly:
r . "Oh, Mark, Mark, why did you not '
[ ! tell mo sooner ? How could you help ; .
j ; it ? How coubl you keep it ? For I love j sJ
r j yon?I love you with my whole heart, j w
| ami?and I am not to die, after all."
_ | There is a goodly number of people I ft
j ! in this world who will conjecture at ^
" I onco what was done upon such an it
t i avowal. There is no one oiic of heaven, j
f perhaps, who can realize what was felt, j tl
\Vhen Mark Devine folded her to his < lc
' passionate, so long-tortnired heart, when ! e:
he looked into her sweet face, with no j
r! keen arrow 01" rankling fear tearing the ; (]
! i depths of his love, there were no words rj
j to tell his happiness. For her, she gave | ^
t | one long sigh of perfect content and j ^1
j | rested.
g | "You do not ask me what has taken i
2 j away my certainty of death," she said, j
1 j looking at him with the fondest eyes he ^
x j ever.imagined. ! ,1
I "Love, it is gone. I care for nothing i
besides," he answered, stooping to kiss |
[ | the soft white lids. "You are mine, and j s'
j ! I am content.' ^
. ! "Yes, that is like you. But, for my j
r j own sake, if not now, then in the future, 6*
j I wish you to go to Doctrr Henson, and P'
j ! he will tell yon the truth."
! "Very well, I will go. To-night, let a
t me think only of the future." . tl
Doctor Henson listened to his request ! si
t nest day with a grim smile. He was a oi
j stern old man, whose fiut no one ever ac
t disputed, and he at onco admitted he gi
j had told Miss Birney six months before I
! | that, according to the judgment of man, (|
her days wera numbered. 1 ^
1 "Miss Birney, sir, has been my pa- ! b,
tient for years. Hers is a peculiar or- ] t,:
3 ganization, highly susceptible nnd ner- CI
5 vous in the extreme. For some time aj
1 she has been bearing a burden of some
! description entirely too heavy for her 1 ,,
1 powers. Latent disease of the nerves? I
\ ; nothing else?catfie to the surface, and 1 ^
2 I could see- her dying by inches, with j ,
1 i no power to save her. I probed the | .
f ; wound in vain. One day 6he came to i
: me, and asked me in all seriousness and !
B : earnestness to tell her the exact truth j j'
! with regard to herself. She assured j ^
! me, in her own inimitable manner, that j
'f | her happiness for time and eternity de- j
s i pended upon it. Sir, I told the truth, ! etalked
plainly to her, and expressed my j a'
j lirm conviction that nothing short of a | 1'
miracle could save her. That miracle 1 "

, frail casket of a strong soul. Take care

\ morning." j ?
, Mark bowed himself out and went to < ni
1 Selma. His questions were answered
; now. She hud loved him "all this : ^
r time." With tenderness inexpressible, ! u,
! with gratitude, and what evidences of ; n;|
, j his own love he told her all he knew, ! w
, i and thanked God for it, and for her ^
' I courage in sending for him. jJ(
1 ! "Mark, I could not help it! And j ^
> j everything else seemed so worthless, so
[ beneath mv notice! 1 could not die
. | without one sight of your dear face at j cl
i j l^ast. But when I came into the room ; m
I : that night, I had not made up my mind :0
> i to ask you. 1 feared to do it, and I had
t another trifling reason ready to cover J jj
. i my request. It was only when you n
I eame out in your true colors, dearest j w
; and best of men, that I felt I would ! ftl
r | rather risk and lose all than let yon j w
! pass away from me when I wlight hold ' c:

j suffered! That made me seem cold. *c
I: I did not know you felt more than pity j *
r j for me, and I dreaded your thinking? sr
I oh, I don't know what?some sort of ma- jj
i j neuvering; and that 1 am incapable of, r?
7 i I am sure." j
j j "It was the desperation of a forlorn | ^
? hope, my darling, and it met with its j '
? reward. Purity, truth, sincerity such ^
as yours, could not but win when the 1U
J outer barriers of conventionalities were
. surmounted. But for your courage I j *
, would never have known the depths of | ^
} my own heart, or the priceless sweet- !
ncss of yours. If women risked more ^
fearlessly they would gain more, and , c]
I men would have cause to bless them as | j?
. I do you." j jjj
He' was wrong. Let no woman try I gl
> Selma Birney's plan who has not her w
) ! magic power. There must be purity j r{
> 1 unshadowed, truth unvailed, sincerity m
, unflinching, added to grace of mind, js

FOR THE LADIES*
A Snltnnn'* .Unrrlncp.
The following description of the re
?nt marriage of Naile sultana, one of
le two imperial brides, was furnished
) the London Standard by an English
idy who was an invited guest: On our
rrival at the house, a lurge building
tuated up a steep, narrow street not
tr from Dolma liaghtclio palace, we
ore ushered by half a dozen eunuchs
irough an ante-room in which lounged
few atterdants, into a lino apartment
rowded with slaves. There wo were
pquested to wait, as the Sultana had
ot yet completed her toilet, coffee and
igarettes being placed before us to
liile away the time. We were just beaming
to tire of watching the throng,
lien the stir without proclaimed tho
oming of the bridegroom, a man of
venty-four years of age, short and inlined
to stoutness, but not wanting in
certain comeliness. Naie Sultana
ad herself chosen him at the Friday's
2lamlik. This power of selecting a
usband, by inspection, as it were, is a
livilege of princesses of the house of
Ithmau, and is carried to such an ex?nt
that even if the favored gentleman
Iready posseses a wife he must divorce
er and wed the sultana. Cases of this
ind are rare; but one at least has ocnrred
during the latter half of the
resent century, when an officer was
ompeiled, mucli against ms win, 10
omply with the custom. Being rich,
owever, he sought consolation in keepig
his discarded love in a separate es- '
iblisliment, a proceeding which is suposed
never to have reached the ears of
is royal partner. In the present intance,
on the contrary, Mehemet Bey
as quite ready to embrace the chance
liich fortune offered him. Poor and
ithout interest, a simple aide-de-camp
ncertain of promotion, he suddenly
nds himself the husband of his sovreign's
sister, a general and highness
3 boot. His appearance was the signal
>r a frantic rush, to which he reponded
by scattering quantities of siler
piasters (in olden days they would
ave been golden liras) among the
[aves. The bridegroom having passed
jto the sultana's presence the ceremony
f marriage was immediately performed,
lit only witnessed by the sultana's
lother. It merely consisted in the
mam tying them together with
rope and declaring them man
nd wife. Directly this was
ver, Mehemet Pacha escaped by a side
ntrance to avoid being mobbed and
uffeted, according to the comuion
ractice of the slaves, wlio must nave
een appeased by unlimited bucksheesh.
.s soon as the doors were thrown open
lio whole mob poured hclter skelter
ito the inner chamber, where the bride
as sitting in state, with a sister by her
ide. All the slaves, and also the few
.rmenian ladies who had been invited,
ent humbly down and kissed the hem
f her garment, but with us she shook
ands without ri?ing, and motioned us
? chairs very near her. A fair, sweeticed
woman of some twenty-two sumlers
is Naile Sultana. She was dressed
i a loose-fitting Turkish robe of rose
olored silk, slashed with gold, while a
jng white gauze vail, likewise emroidered
with gold, drooped down
rom behind the little cap that surlounted
her tightly drawn-up hair. On
er hands and bosom sparkled magifieent
diamonds. Her single-button
loves had burst in fastening, and altoether
her toilet was far less perfect and
ich than vo had expected. Thronghut
there have been no amusements beona
a band playing European music
1 the court-yard. The whole affair was
confession of the economy now necesirily
reigning at the palace.

Dresses of tinted mull, over princesse

When little girls servo as bridemaids
lere is a pretty English fashion of al>wing
them to carry an armful of floors

A pretty way of trimming a child's

Jersey bodices of ciel-blue, rose color

When lace shawls are uded for over- !
arts this season they are bordered [
ith a rather scant lace rullle, and are I
raped in Hie back with loops of the

reen, gold and scarlet.
Stylish and inexpensive walking j
resses aro made by adding a plain
'\oi' kirt of black satin to a Jersey
Ddice. A simple scarf of the satin is
iitped over the skirt, and n shoulder
ipe of the same fabric relieves the plain
ppearance of the bodice.
Ombre weddings are actually in order:
lat is, the bride wears of course the
hitest of roses ; and then, out of six
ridemaids, the smallest or the young>t
wears pale pink rosebuds, and the
illest or the eldest wears the deepest
imsoa roses, while the four intermeiates
shade upward. This novel effect

Skirt drapery has become a matter of
cceeding complication, and requires
.most as much adjustment after it is
ut on as it receives before leaving the
ressmakers hands. In theory one has
nlyto fasten the skirt belt and walk
irth with each puff and loop hanging
>it should, but the woman who entertins
this theory is not a spectacle for

Opposites in Matrimony.
Theodore Parker wrote : Young peole
marry their opposites in temperannt
on/J rronnrnl and KllC'h
arriages are generally good ones. They
0 it instinctively. The young man
aes not say, "My black eyes require to
3 wed with blue and my over-veheenee
requires to be a little modified
ith somewhat of dullness and reserve."
'hen these opposites come together to
3 wed they do not know it, but each'
links the other just like himself. Old
2ople never marry their opposites;
iey marry their similars and from calllation.
Each of these two arrangeents
is very proper. In their long
urney these opposites will fall out by
ie way a great many times, and charm
le other back again, aud by and by
iey will be agreed as to the place they
ill go to, and the road they will go by,
id both become reconciled. The man
ill be nobler and larger for being assouted
with so much humanity unlike
imself, and she will be a nobler woman
?r having manhood beside her, that
;eks to correct her deficiencies and
lpply her with what she lacks, if the
iversity be not too great, and if there be
sal generosity and love in their hearts
1 begin with. The old bridegroom,
iving a much shorter journey to make,
ust associate liimsolf with one like
imself. A perfect and complete
iarriage is, perhaps, as rare as perfect
?rsonal beauty. Men and women are
arried fractirnally, now a smnll fracon,
then a large fraction. Very few
e married totally, and they only, I
link, after some forty or fifty years of
radual approach and experiment. Such
large and sweet fruit is a complete
arriage, that it needs a very long
immer to ripen in and then a long
inter to mellow and season. But, a
:al, happy marriage of love and judgment
between a noble man and woman j
one of the things so very handsome I
iat, if the sun were as the Greek poets j
bled, a god, lie might stop the world j
i order to feast his eyes with such a
>ectacle.

FACTS AND COMMENTS. j
There were 14,432,068 acres of land
planted in cotton in the United States
last ysar, and from these the crop was
5,732,969 bales. The acreage this year
is estimated at 15,523,116, an increase of i
91,108 acres; but the opinion prevails, t
says the New York Graphic, "hat the t
crop will not be so large as ths.t of last i
year, owing to unfavorable weather. j
The latest addition to agricultural c
implements in England is the " steam- ^
digger," which is a combination of the ,
plow and spade. In the short space of ,
an hour, and at a working cost of five
shillings, it will turn over an acre of <
ground, and that too in such away as to ,
produce superior cultivation. The in- j
ventor claims that it will do us much
work as 170 men in a day. It appears i
to have withstood very exacting tests. ?

As soon as the death of the late "^-n- i

the mandarins ami all high officials of
the empire put on garments of pure ,
white, and these were worn for twenty- ,
four consecutive days. Tiie regulations ,
which prescribe official mourning also
require that the red buttons upon their j
caps shall be replaced by blue buttons. ,
On the twenty-eighth day they put on (
black clothing, which must be worn for
100 days. The same restrictions as to
marrying and indulging in social pleas- c
ure3 that apply to the higher classes c
apply to them as well. '

boyhood -with a firearm that he was
anxious to patent. When he obtained '
his patrimony he went to France to improve
his implement. His was the ex- 1
perience of nearly all inventors. His (
money was soon exhausted, and at times
he was reduced to the greatest extremity.
But he never lost faith in Ins J
rifle. Finally he interested some capitalist
and the implement was carried to
perfection. In due time the French government
was induced to adopt the repeater
for the army. The British gov- t
ernment has just done the same thing, t
and the Toledo inventor is preparing to J
roll in wealth. His arm is said fo be j
the most magnificent repeating rifle in
the world.

A San Francisco correspondent of a
New York paper writes a ral her alarming
account of the spread of opium-smoking
among the American population in that
city.. He says that the bane of opiumsmoking
in California is seen in the
younger generation. Califc rnia children
are very precocious; they neern to have
an exaggerated desire to indulge in
even-thing which is forbidden. Every
Chinese wash-house throughout the
Stite is the center of evil. Young boys
learn there to smoke opium and contract
the habit which ruins them body
and soul. The vice is most prevalent
among the hoodlums of the city and the '
wome:a of the town, but police ofK ^ers 1
and detectives, whose word may he relied
upon, declare that the practice is r
spreading with great rapidity, and tint v
the law will soon have to be invoked to :
chock it by heavy fines or other penal- I
ties. The correspondent says the most 1
noted Chinese opium den in that city is t
owned by a retired American missionary ,
to China. e
The emigration statistics of Germany ]
are engaging the serious attention of the c
imperial chancellor, who has submitted ,
to the Bundesratli tables showing that {
during the year 1H80 no fewer than 11,454
young men liable to military service "
quitted the fatherland for America. As '
the exo;lus during the past year was
notliiner bevond the common, whereas
this season the numbers are assuming 1
alarmiDg proportions, it seems likely '
that the military service will be deprived
of at least 20,000 young men. The J
worst feature of the case, of course, is 1
that the emigration of this class means <
a twofold loss to the countey?the <
sinew and backbone of the land are f
leaving it, and the aged, infirm and
children are left behind. The chief i
exodus seems to be from Prussia, i
Bavaria, with a population equal to oneninth
of the whole of Germany, only
supplies one-twentieth of the emigrants,
seeming to demonstrate the fact that
life in the south is not so unendurable
as in Prussia itself. ,

might better be under its own manage- t
ment than in the hands of enterprising
foreigners; and the preliminary steps to '(
that end have been taken in the esfablishment
of a school of telegraphy in
Hartford. Tlio Chinese embassy at
Washington recently received instruc- *
tions to form a class of forty from among 1
tho Chinese students in Hartford, and
Mr. Yung Wing has just chosen its '
members and placed them under the 1
charge of Mr. Hubbell, late manager of 1
the Hartford office of the Western Union (
company. A class-room has been furnished
with every requisite appliance, 1
and Mr. Hubbeil expects that within t
two months the students under his in- c
structions will be competent to teach i
others. As soon as they have attained i
the requisite proficiency they will be (
ordered hone, and probably accom- (
panied by a few skilled Americans to <
superintend the construction and oper- ,
ation of new telegraph lines.

The Cincinnati Commercial publishes j
an interesting diagram showing the ,
changes in the center of population (i
from 1790 to 1880. In 1790 it was twen- ,
ty-three mites east of Baltimore ; in
1800 it was eighteen miles west of Baltimo'e
; in 1810 it was forty miles north- j"
west by west of Washington ; in 1820 !
*' ? -1 Wftnilof I '
It was sixteen uiucauwi m ui uuuo^n,
in 1830 it was nineteen miles west by '
southwest of Moorefield; in 1810 it was *
sixteen miles south of Clarksburg ; in
1850 it was twenty-three miles southeast
of Parkersburg; in 1800 it was twenty
miles south of Chillicothe; in 187v,
forty-eight miles east by north of Cincinnati,
and in 1880 eight miles west by
south of Cincinnati. It is a curious j *
fact that in these changes the center of I t
population has varied only a few m:les j t
from the line of the Baltimore r.nd I i
Ohio railroad, and has now traveled its
whole length from Baltimore to C'in- ]
cinnati. The center is now located in {
the State of Kentucky, and it is prob- (
able that its line of progress for many (
years to come will follow close to the j
Ohio river.

Mr. Loe Chin, a Chinaman residing '
in the Territory of Wyoming, and a white
woman, also residing in tho same i
Territory, recently wont into Colorado
for the pm pose of being married ; and, | '
after tho marriage, they returned to
their former residence and lived | ;
together as husband and wife. Tho laws j J
of the Territory forbid intermarriages I (
between whites and Chinese. There J <
are, however, no such laws in the State j <
of Colorado, and, hence, tho parties ; >
went there to havo the marriage cere- ! i
monv performed. Iteturning to the
Territory, they were indicted on a crim- j
inal charge. The judge before whom j ,
tho case was brought for trial sustained i J
the marriage, as being legally valid in
the Territory of Wyoming, and quashed (
the indictment. ' Tho ground upon j
which the judge proceeded in thus dis- (
posing of the case is that a marriage j
valid in the State where it is celebrated
is to be deemed valid in every other
part of the United States, 'lliis marriage
was lawful ir. Colorado, though if J
it had occured iu Wyoming Torritoiy
it would have been unlawful; and being '
lawful in the place of its celebration, it
must be held so everywhere else. The '
supreme court of Massachusetts some
years since affirmed this doctrine in a
memorable case. The courts in some 1
of tho other States havo denied it. j 1

as settled and will not be settled until ! '

! A New York reporter's attention was
j attracted to ::n odd advertisement,
I which sf;.'.til that "ladies desirous of
j purchasing articles from the wardrobe
of Queen Victoria can do so by calling
on Mrs ?, West Fortieth street." The
reporter, desirous rather for information
about Victoria's cast-off clothes than to
i Tvniv?lman rallAil liDon the ladv. who
showed him a great variety of articles
of ladies' wear, of apparently extra fine
quality, and with the initials "V. R.''
surmounted by a crown woven upon
them. This regal stamp, the reporter
was informed, is permitted only npon
articles for the royal wardrobe, and its
, presence, like that of a dnly authenticated
trademark, attested the genuineness
of the articles. In explanation as
to how the clothes came into her possession
the Wouian, Mrs. Martin, in:
formed the rei ?rter that every three
months there is a complete renewal of
Queen Victoria's wardrobe; and notwithsi-ading
much of it is almost unworn
it must give placo to the new
supply. The cast-off garments fall the
perquisite of the maids of honor, who,
according to Mrs. Martin, receive no
' other reward. These mercenary ladies
I of high station sell it in a lump, and
J divide the money it brings among them.
"While the reporter was present a car}
riage with a liveried coachman drove np,
I and a lady richly and fashionably dressed
I came in, with an evident eye to pur!
chasing some of the articles. The story
! is probably either a reportorial inven!
tion, the newspaper man has been imj
posed upon, or the pretended royal
j wardrobe was a fraud.

Story of the Old Red Cent.
As the old 1 'red cent" has now passed
I out of sight, like the "old oaken bucket,"
I its history is a matter of sufficient interJ
est for preservation. The cent was first
i propos?d by Robert Morris, and was
! named by Jefferson two years later. It
i made its appearance from the mint in
j 1792. It bore the head of Washington on
; one side and thirteen linfis on the other,
j The French revolution soon created a
1 rage foi French ideas in America, which
i put on the cent instead of the head of
Washington the head of the Goddess of
i Liberty?a French Liberty. The chain
I on the revei se side was displaced by the
j olive wreath of peace; but the French
I Liberty was short lived, and so was her
i portrait on our cent. The next head or

Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, while it is not ,
a catholicon, achieves a host of good effects,
and is useful in a variety of cases. By invigorating
tho organs of "digestion it overcomes
dyspepsia and its many and complex
symptoms, imparts vitality to the physique,
promotes appetite and sleep and overcomes
j tho despondency which is a mental, symI
pathetic accompaniment of dyspepsia. It is an
! admirablo remedy for disorder of the liver,
j rousing that organ when dormant, and promoting
tho secretion and flow of healthy bilo
I into tho proper channel.. It relaxes without
| weakening or convulsing ihe bowels, and
! checks thi ir irregularity. It arrests a growing
| tendency to rheumatism, depurating the blooa
i and increasing the activity of the kidnoys, and
! it is the best remedy in existence for chills and
j fever, and bilious remittent, as well as a tried
| preventive of those maladies.
, The little village of Abilene, Kansas,
i is noted for "having six churches. It
j has only one newspaper, and that is a

j ahead of all other towns in this season's
competition in the matter of warm
weather stories. A farmer living near
Riley Center?so it is printed?started
for Garrison with a load of hogs; but
the sun was warm, and the hogs were
fat, and when the farmer arrived in Gari
rison, his eighty-five dollars worth of
| pork had melted, and leaked through
j the bottom of the wagon box.
Indigestion.
The main cause of nervousness is indigestion,
I anil that is caused by weakness of the stomach.

without using Hop Bitters to strengthen the

and kidneys active, to carry off tho poisonous
