Two young girls sat on the porch of
a seaside hotel iu which they had
been guest all summer; near them wai
a gentlemau who had just arrived.
"There!" said Miss B. "There!"
go those lovers off for a stroll, it is
said they are actually engaged! So aboiif/H
tenth middle ftirpd; lin is a 110H1
pous fool, and she is pock-marked,
What can thej see in each other?"
"They have been lovers since they
were children," gently answered Mist
C. "But she has devoted her life t?
nursing her mother, who has been |il
lor years with au incurable disease
Now her mother is dead, and they will
be married soon."
Presently:
"Do look at those Wright sisters."
cried Miss B. "I'm sick of the sight o
them. The elders sails along with thai
slow majestic gait, as if they were o
royal birth, and the ugly little on<
trots after her? uever leaves tier i
minate. It's a wonder it never occur!
to her that she may be iu the waj
when a pretty girl is talkiug to ?
gentlernau."
'Her sister does uot think her in thi
way," quietly said Miss C. "The rea
son she walks and moves slowly is be
cauieshe issubject to terrible attack
which are brought on by rapid motion
Her sister never leaves her, because i
she were not there to apply the reme
dies, the poor girl would die. Ther
never was a more unselfish sacrifice c
one life to another," she added warn;
iyHer
companion was silenced, bu
only for a few minutes.
"There is that stupid Miss Bianl
going away! That is a relief! Whei
women get to be as old and ugly am
uninteresting as that, they ought^to b
> kept|out of sight among their friends.1
Miss C. hesitated a moment.
"Do you know thatMiss Blank eu
gaged two rooms for the whole season
and has kept them tilled with poo
teachers and widows, and mother
with sick babies, not one of whoc
would have been able to leave bom
but for her? She has given them hap
piness ana neaun, ana pernaps ne\
life. I heard this from one of themnotfrom
herself," she added quickly,
Aud so. on and on, one seeing th
shadow in each character, the othe

The newcomer keenly inspected th
faces of the two giris ]|as they rose an
passed him. Both were young an
pretty. |But one face wus already line
with discontent, and mean, vulga
thoughts while the other turned 01
life eyes full of serene aud joyful calm
Whatever their future lot, one will fin*
only disappointment in the world; l>u

TnklDg Dickens Down.
"T am a orronf aHmirpr nf tho wnrk
of Charles Dickens, but I had a ver
pooropiuion of the man," said L. C
Courtney, now stopping at the Lac
lede. "Dickens was a crank of a ven
offensive class. Many peculiarities inaj
properly be excused in a man of geni
us, but boundless egotism and bac
taste are not of the number. Whet
the author of the 'Pickwick Tapers
visited America he succeeded by his
boorish manners, in disenthralling
thousands of his worshipers on thi<
oula nf fho AHnntin Ha 'IaiuI
and his manners were even more stun
ning than his dress. He was a greai
pedestrian, and took long tramps ever}
morning. When he was in Washing
ton I met him one morning on th<
steps of tbe Capitol. With me was s
young congressman from Tennessee
whom tbe great novelist had offended
by his booriehness.
"Thatmorning Dickens was in greai
good humor and full of talk, 'I have,!

of little Nell.' 'Little >'ell wbo'i

out, 4My Little Nell/ 'Oh,' said the
Tennesseean l uidn t Know you hau
your daughter with you.' 'I am speaking
of the Little Nell of my fiction, sir,'
retorted Dickens flushing. 'Oh,' said
the imperturbable Tenuesseean, 'you
write novels, do you? Dou't you consider
that a rather trifling occupation
for a grown up man?' Dickens snorted

the avenue like Colonel Bill Hterrett

Spelling Reform.?In a language
properly spelled a child could learn to
reaa without toil and in a few weeks.
He would not have to learn to spell.
Spelling ^wouid come or itseii; one
could not spell wrong, [Several years
of a child's life are taken up in learning
to read and spell, while three
months would be sufficient. A useless
double letter at the end of words
is dropped; tor ph we write f; s is
changed to z when so sounded; a is
dropped in such a word as bread, and e
in such a word as single or eaten. The

our prounuciation are preserved. The
roost astonishsng reform yet accomplished
in our spelling was made by
one man, Noah Webster. He changed
tho spelling of English from centre to
center, and from honour to honor; and
his one will, as expressed in his one
dictionary, has done this thing. But
no one dictionary maker among a
dozen could do this now. They can
all help; but no onev4cau accomplish
the reform, because no Webster can
now have a monopoly of the dictionary
business. We suppose that the
most lioaeful wav to accomplish the
reform?and that reform will" Jhave to
be made in the United States and nowhere
else?would be by agreement
between a hundred of the principal
newspapers in the United States, that

I I"liable to C>ivc n Plain Answer.
f Martin Van liuren had the reputa

f answ?r to a plain question.
i One day, when be was on board i
i steamer, the passengers were talking o
3 tbis peculiarity, aud one of them ob
j served, "I'll wager that if one of ui
i shall go and ask Mr. Van Buren thi
simplest question that can be though
g (if, and he will evade a direct answer
Yes, and I'll give you leave to tell bin
why the question is asked, and tha
s there is a bet depending on his reply.'
This seemed fair enough, certainly
f for to be forewarned was to be for
- armed. One of the party was deputei
e to try the experiment. He found Mr
,f Van Buren, aud said to him, "Mr. Vai
i Buren, some gentlemen-on the uppe
per deck have been accusing you c
t non-committalism, and "have just laii
a wager that you wouldn't give a plaii
