It clings so closoly to the form, and--well there's no use talking, I could not endure the lack of popular style." He might have added, what hold predominance in his thought, -that she was an orphan, and portion1less. "I most say that I think hW# the no.-t sensible girl that I ever met; and her excellence there's none to dispute-devoting her young life as she does to the care of two queru.. lous old p)eople, who areonly distant ly related, when their own proper relations are indifferent as to the welfare of both. However, since in your fancy the quality of the soul of womanhood depends upon its en casement, I would advise you to confine your Now Year's call to city limits in future. We shall not prolong our drive so far into the country, for the sake of losing wine and wit, in favor of a quiet, un fashionable girl, who was not got ten up for the occasion." There was the slightest possible sneer upon the handsome lips of Hfarry Beadwell as these remarkcs were uttered, which was unperceiv ed by his friend Wordly, as they wore whirled back toward the city. "What possessied them to come here," wondered Lucinda Whitford, y a she sat musing in her own quiet little room, after they wore gone. "I only met them once, at Cousin -Evas party, anld then I fancied young Wordly was inclined to slight me because I was not in full toilet. I wonder why Eva always insist. that plain, quiet dresses are more becoming to my style I Yet we are said to be very much alike, and her's are so very different. I should think that when my clothe. are all I receive for constant attend. anceon hergrandparent., she should atleast allow me to exercise my own taste in their selection." She glanced Inquisitively at the oppoite irrjor. A clear out face, perfect in out lin% though lakn nboomm shoe very white and marble-lIke agenud the dark blue Serge the meore, Bs bands of1hur hair a thaen.hann linen at the throat were plain and simple-to "set off the Classic," as il her artful cousin termed her style; c or, rather, as y o u n g Wordly thought, her lack of style. lie was a wealthy, and traveled, and his opin- b ions were of great weight within 3 the circle surrounding the Fifth ri avenue belle and her quiet cousin, Lucinda Whitford. His friend, I Harry Boadwell, thought different ly. But we will not anticipate. g "Lucinda, come here and read this letter. My old eyes fail me tl more and snore. It is from William. a, What does he say I" queried the old h man impatiently. 0 "First, that auntie and yourself S come West and make your home . there. Secondly-what is this I" tj said she, sweoping her hand over the marble face, now crimson. "Since Lucinda's distant relative, h on her mother's side, has been so f< accommodating as to die and leave a cool hundred thousaud, she will no longer care to shut herself up with two old people." "He does r me great injustice," she exclaimed. u "But what does it all mean t" "Simply this: Your mother's p uncle has died, leaving her his pro- h perty, which falls to you, as her on- d ly natural heir." c< "I do not understand. Eva and M her father must have known this." t "He is Rainsford'i executor," he added, in an undertone. "Now, as a mother, of course you will live with them until you are of age, and we shall go to William. You have been a good girl, Lucinda, and may God bless you I" . . . . . 1 Again it was New Year's Day. h Many homes are ablaze with light b and luminous with indescribable t fascinations. Eva Rainsford looked charming in her dark beauty, with I her wonderful hair arranged in a v coiffure a la Fourbillon. The fluffy i wands seemed airy as light itself 0 above the misty meshes of her round t point flohu. Her dress, an artistic V blending of blush rose and cerese blue, with a full garniture of point k lace, festooned with blush buds and j blue forgot-me-nots, set off her love liness to perfection. And yet young , Wordly turned from her loveliness b to the radiant vision at her side. A clear cut marble image, with pure high brow, from which the ( hair was swept in Maria Stuart rip. t ples, surmounted by a double coro net of cluster curls, which softened the lineaments into a wondrous beauty, then cascaded away into a wilderness of loosened tresses upon j the perfect shoulders. Her dress j of dead white silk was guiltless of ~ one puff or flounce, and the tout en.i aemble unrelieved by so much as one ray of coloring. The overdress of puffed tulle was caught up heroe and there by a star or arrow of a Norwegian silver, and the bodice was relieved by a necklace of Geno- ~ ese silver, delicate as frost wvork,t and costly as pearls. Even the fas tidious Wordly was forced to admit her style was perfect." "Miss Whitford," he said, "you are absolutely dazzling. Remain here while Bleadwell and Miss Rains. ford are refreshing themselves. Lot me ask you what I have so longed to ask ever since last New Year's. Will youbeomy wife ?" Other callers interrupted them ; but Wordly know women ; and her answer, though a silent one, sent the blood a mad race through his patrician veins. Readwell saw it, too, with a strange heart burning -a bitterness toward the man who was his friend. "Are you tired, Cinda 7" said Eva, later in the day. "Yes, a little. I am going round to see Nettie Crusworth ; she baa sent for me. Many of the Sacred Heart girls receive there to-day, and they are going to have a nice quiet time. Of course you know Beadwell will return to-night." "How should I know ; ho did not tell mie. So don't be a hypoorite, cousin. You cannnot be blind to the fact so patent to all others, that he worships the very ground you walk upon. A revoetion seemed to burst upon Lucinda Whitford. Perhaps that is why he avoided her so sedulous ly. PQrhaps that was why ho said once, "that if he loved a portion less girl and failed to secure her, nothing could induce him to seek her if by any chance she became rich." Yet what difference could it possibly make now?i An hour later found her at the home of her friend. The girls wore uproarious, and scarcely heard the footman announce Mr. Wordly. Locinda instantly darted behind the drapery whioh hlfi conealed the bay window, bidding them be silent by a gesture. A roguish girl, who muspected b~ow matters stood, rallied himn upoia hi. anfe penchant for the heir. e,s whioh he stently ded.& "What I you know the weaknesi s of long standing. Do not die laim it." "You mistake me," he said, witi deep flush of wine or shame upot is cheek ; "I deny the charge. lies Whitford, the heiress, is tole uble. Miss Whitford, the-" "I thank you, Mr. Wordly," said oucinda, stopping into tne room You will excuse me, Nettie, I musl o.

Instinctive r she put her hand in his. He -embled visibly. " You love me ?" she said, simply. "As my own soul! Yes, passion is slain pride, and I am here to 11 you so, Lucinda." "I believe you," she answered; it is all sufficient." "Thank heaven I" was his ardent )sponse, and the New Year closed kost happily for those two.

DAMUTINA, Brazil, November 10, 874.-The hour is midnight, and ] ave just come in a trifle jaded, bul efore retiring I purpose, while yel le facts are vivid in my mind, tc 'ive you some account of a wedding attended this evening. It waa C redding, I mak-3 bold to say, tht ke of which was never celebrated n either continent. The high-con racting parties to the marriag rere Malia, only daughter of DE louza Cabral, the grqst diamond ing of South America, and Georg4 Lrthur Throckmorton, a native oi lentucky, United States of America rho, for the past five years, hai ,oen succeasfully engaged in rail oading in this country, with head Luarters at Rio Janeiro. Da Souzi .abral is principal owner of nine o: he riche it diamond mines in Sout) Lmerica and from them, in th4 ggregate, he derives an annual in ome of not less than *20,000,000 lie interests in gold mines proba ly amounts to as much more, an< am cognizant of the fact that las Lugust he sold a one-tenth interes ai the celebrated Bahia mine-o rhich, until then, he had been so0< iroprietor, for $3,600,000, gold. Hii Liamnond interests in South Africi nd Siberia he lately estimated un ler oath (in some legal proceedingi eofore a court in Minas Geracs) a he enormous sum of *50,000,000 1e has, beside, a groat penc!han or real estate, and I was but rc ently informed by one of his agents thoroughly trustworthy man, tha 3abral's rentals in London and ilasgow alone yield over ?150,00 bnnually. In 1868 he purchased he patent for making eyelets, fromi poor fellow whom he found stars ng in agarret at Maranham. T.a he machine is extensively used a] >ver the world, and Cabral draw $2,500 a day from this source alone Lnd then there are his sewing ma uhine royalties that yield him some hing over $5,000 a day. [The coi ectneas of this last item is vouched or by a friend of mine, who is th nanager of the leading sowing ma hine company in Brazil.] Indeed t is easy to tell what he is inte ested in, but hard to think of some thing that is anything in which h s not. It W )uld be a puzzle L, iamue a leading railroad in Souti amxerica or England, in which hi ias not a stake. * He takes in some hing over a million and a half roar from his steamship stock, an< >robably twice as much more frori yther sources. A cool, clear-heade< nan of sixty, six feet high, straigh as an arrow, with an eye lik in eagle, a judgment as unerring a ate, and a deciion as quick a ightning, with superb nerve, u ~onquerable boldness, and an app. rent incapacity to blundering, D Souza Cabral stands to-day th wealthiest man on the globe. H was lately asked by an intimat Wriend in my presence, if he ha umy conception of the sunm total c dii possessions. He thought for moment; and then quietly replied 'I could not swear that I was nc worth-presuming that I could rea liz. on all my property---50g000 00O,O00."

I would not have devoted so much space to the father of the bride of this evening were it not for the fact that otherwise the ac count that follows of the wedding might be received with incredulity. The bridegroom, young Throck morton, is descended from one of the oldest and wealthiest families of the "blue grass country," as he loves to call it. He came to Brazil with a matter of half a million in his own right, and since has prospered fa mously, so that to day he cannot be worth less than $6,000,000. But a poor pittance in comparison with his father-in-law's over-wholmingly gigantic fortune, but still quite sufilcient to relieve him from the imputation of marrying the fair Malia Cabral for money. He met her first a year ago at a ball at Pernam buco, and the result was a case of love at first sight on both their parts. They make an exceedingly prepossessing c o u p 1 e-he tall, broad shouldered, yellow of hair and mustache, and she a tiny, graceful, lovely-faced brunette. The invitations were written on parchment by artistic hands, in quaint text, exquisitely illuminated. Instead of being enclosed in paper envelopes, they were sent to their favored recipientseach in its dainty box of sandal wood. These boxes, 1,000 in number, were manufac tured to order expressly for this wedding at Canton. Each one of them was furnished with a lock and key of solid gold, was exquisitely carved with cupids and hearts and other designs appropriate to the occasion, and cost $150. My own invitation lies beside me as I write, and I catch the delicate scent of the sandal. AN RAATULY PARADISR. The residence of the great Dia mond King, at which the wedding took place, is situated a little over half a mile from Diamantina, which is, you know, the chief town of the diamond district. The house is the complete realization of the ideal castles of the regulation English novels, and the grounds connected with it are the last expression of nature at her loveliest, reinforced by art at its most consummate. This evening the place seemed a paradise. Wax candles by the thousands, each caught and held in its place by a bronze figure, flooded the rooms within and the miles of ground without with a soft yet bril liant light. Here and there, on the green slopes, or in the rustic bow Fers, or at the edge of some roman tic ravine, large music-boxes, im bedded a n d completely hidden I from view in moss, played a soft -and dreamy accompaniment to the I voice of the fountains. One hun b dred music-boxes were employ. I od in this service, and the tunes that were pricked on their cylinders - wvere composed especially for the ,nuptial night by no less celebrated a musician thian IAszt. He receiv ed a draft of $25,000 for his witch )ing work, and who shall say -that he did not earn it ? Certainly no Sone that listened to the music. The music-bozes will be distributed on ~the morrow among the bridesmaids 1and other guests of this evening, a as uniqite remembrances of the wedding. Each of one them was im ported from Paris, is eased in mo saic, and elaborately finished in gold, silver, and a variety of pre cions stones. The hnndred boxes e cost as many thousand dollars. The drawing-room in which the Ken tuckian and his "dark Brazilian brIde" were made one dlesh had one feature in its adornment which a elicited the most fervent expression i of delight and amazement from all 1 who were present. I allude to the a decorations of the four walls. They - were one mass of full-blown white a camiellias from floor to ceiling, and I a good sized diamond was inserted 1 in the centre of each to cunningly I counterfeit the dew drop. The ef t feet was simply ravishing. It is a estimated that the adornment of a this one room called for an expendi * ture of not less than $10,000,000. No diamond was given the role of the dew drop that was not white, and a perfect "as the bosom of a star." B A PATH OY FLwWR.. e The entire distance from the Ca :1 bral mansion to the nearest railroad ,f station, something less than a quar a ter of a mnile, was literally a way of :flowers-not under foot, but im .t graceful arches overhead. Thus a b- long, snow-white bower, fashioned .entirely of roses, was the connect I. ing link between the drawing- roow I', and the drawing-eom ear. Thei e demand m)ade on Flora for the r materiuls for this pietaresque coy, k eted way was unprecedent. Thei * hower.bill. for the wed4lng---ex * alsve of the item of hand ha quets-amounted to $50,000. But the strangest thing in regard to this bower I have yet to toll. Its floor for the entire length was cov. ed with camel's hair shawls, to my mind a piece of preposterous, aye, wicked extravagance. But the fa ther of the bride declared that so long as it was his only daughter and only child whose marriage he was celebrating, he would send her out of her home to the steam car riage that was to carry her away from him, over a pavement not like ly to be imitated in the future his tory of marriages in South America. The shawls for this extraordinary purpose were purchased in London, the order being for "the best that can be had for gold," and the bill for the items amounted to the enor mous sum of $568,500. After the bridal party entered the train the shawls were gathered up, and to morrow they will be distributed aionq the poor of the district. PRINCELY PUESENTS. And now a few words about the bride's presents. They were by ac tual count, 1,840 in number, and the greater part of them, I noticed, took the form of either gold or diamonds. The mother's gift was a dinner set of 280 pieces of solid gold. Each piece bears the monogram of Cabral and Throckmorton in dia monds. The cost of this proof of ma. ternal affection was something over $4,000,000 in gold. In addition, Mme. Cabral gladdened the bride's heart with 1,000 yards of point lace; 365 morning, afternoon and evening costumes, one for each so cial division of every day in the year; and, to crown all, a certificate of deposit issued by the Bank of England-England being the ob jective point of the bridal tour for ?1,000,000. Her father gave her title deeds of a magnificent town and country house, in all the lead ing capitals of the world and the more famous watering-places. These many mansions are thoroughly fur nished, and in each-as a tender re minder to Malia of her maidenhood there is an apartment that exactly corresponds in furniture and adorn ments to her own room at her fa ther's house. Not contenting him self with this display of his bounty, Cabral presented her with as fine a steamship as could be built on the Clyde, with full complement of sail ore under contract for ten years' service, and with salaries paid in advance for the full term ; one dozen milk-white Arabian horses, and, this as a joke, 1,000 pounds of caramnels, a confection for which the bride is said to have a pro nounced liking. But HIS CROwNING GiFT' was a necklace that deserves to rank among the enumerated won ders of the world. Sixteen years ago, soon after Malia's birth, he be gan to collect the diamonds of which it is composed. Whenever or wherever he heard of a marvel lous stone he was on hand in per son or by agent and secured it. He had all Europe, Asia and Africa ransacked in behalf of the proposed necklaeb, and at one time actdally made overtures for the celebrated Pitt diamond, which cost the Duke of Orleans, according to history, $675,000, and which Napoleon at one time wvore on his sword hilt. He was baffled in this attempt, how ever, much to his disappointment, but after ten years of unremitting hunting he at last got together thirty of the largest and putest diamonds in the world, no one of which. was much inferior to the Pitt gem. Taking these to Amsterdam, he summoned the best talent in that city, famous for its diamond cutters, and stated what he desired--which was that each of the thirty stones should have a fantastic face cut upon it. Amsterdam at first said that the task was more than hurcu le'an--that it was impossible. But when Cabral stated the stupendous sum hie was willing to pay for the fulfillment of his wishes, Amster dam reconsidered and consented to do its best. It did its best for five years, day and night, and the re suIt was that a week before the wedding, the diamonds, cut, carved, set on a golden string, and all ready to embrace the snowy neck of the bride, were placed in the hands of the jubilant Cabral. I happened to be present when Malia first was showff the necklace, a couple of days before she was married. She wore a black silk at the time, and her father, after throwing the bril. liante, that contrasted so strongly with the color of the dress, over her head, stepped back a few paces to notice the effect. Having gazed at the flashing necklace fore a mi ute or so, he suddenly broke into a loud laugh, and oied out, morri 17, "My dear, on gy life you'd do for the headlght of a lodoonoUiv..

M ture field, which is peculiarly in- y teresting and suggestive of uncon a scious wisdom. A gentleman was invited to the lecturer's house to a tea. Immediately on being seated at the table, the little girl astonish od the family circle and the guest by the abrupt question : "Where is your wife ?" Now the gentleman, having boon d recently separated from the part- ai aAer of his life, was taken so com.- b pletely by surprise that he stam-- a' mered forth the truth : p "I don't know."n "Don't know !" replied the enfant si terrible. "Why don't you know ?" Finding that the child persisted E in her interrogatorics, despite the I mild reproof of her parents, he con-. eluded to matke a clean breast of the n matter, and have it over at once. b So be said with a calmness which h was the result of inward ox)leo Vos: "Well, we don't live together ; we think, as we can't agree, we'd better i not." ' He stifled a groan as the child I began again, and darted an exaspe- g rated look at her parents. But the r little torment would not be quieted o) until she exclaime~d : "Can't agree!

Some years ago, in one of our Western courts, three men-an a Englishman, an Irishman, and1 a a Scotchman were found guilty of o murder and sentenced to be hung. e The Judge told them they could each choose a tree on which they 'j would like to be 'strung up.' The i Scotchman promptly chose an ash 'j tree, and the Englishman an oak e tree. 'Well Pat, what will you be a hung on?' asked the Judge. 'If it a please your honor, I'd rather be i hung on a gooseberry bush.' 'Oh,' b said the Judge, 'that's not big a enough.'

DEWILDKRINQ TOILETO. You must not expect from me any description of the ornate and bewildering toilets worn at the wed ding-no, not even of the bride's rare raiment. I aru indebted to a lady guest for the information that her dress was of point lace, flounced, or rather garlanded, to the waist with strings of aced pearls, with voluminous train edged with a tilagree of gold thickly set with diamonds. Her neck was circled by her father's wonderful offering, besides which there were diamonds banded en her hair and in brace lets on her wrists. She was certain ly the most blazing beauty I ever gazed upon. There was one feature of the wedding arrangements which struck me might better have beon omitted entirely, or at least very materially modified, but which, nevertheless, in the mock it made of expense, was quite in keeping with all the other features. I allude to the provision made for the hackmuen who drove the guests to and from the festivi ties. On the velvet lawn just out side the Cabral mansion, a dozon or more Sevres vases were sot corresponding in size and shape to an American peach basket-each one of which was heaped to the brim with thegold coin of the coum try. The drivers as they dropped their loads had their attention call ed to the curredcy in the vases, and were cordially invited to help them -ielves. ENRICHING A HACK DlIVER. As often as the vases were emp tied they were promptly replenish ed by servants detailed for that sole purpose One of the backmen responded so heartily to the invi tation that when the time came for him to drive back to town he was forced to request his two passen gers to favor him by taking a seat on the box. He explt*ined, not without blushes and stammering, that the inside of his coach was oc cupied by the gold pieces lie had accumulated during the evening; and that he would not have taken so many had it not been for the thought of a sick wife at home. Having listerted to him, his load, before mounting the box, returned to the house and related the inci dent to Cabral, who was so touched at the mention of the sick wife that, on sudden impulse, he proprosed a subscription for her benefit. The response was general, and in a shor t time the snug sum of *I0,000 was raised among the guests, to which Cabral added his own cheek for $40,000 more saying that he did not wish any heart to be sad on that joyful occasion. When the $50,000 were handed to the hack man, "a cordial for your ailing wife, my man," as Cabral put it, ho burst into tears, declaring that there never was such a man in the world as Da Souza Cabral. A SECRET.-Wm. Wirt's letter to his daughter, on the "small, sw'eet courtesies of life," contains a pas sage from which a great dual of happiness might be learned, if heed ed : "I want to tell you a secret. TheII way to make yourself pleasant to others is to show them attention. The whole world is like the miller at Mansfield, 'who cared for nobody --no, not he-because, nobody eared for him.' And the whole world would servo you if you gave them the cause. Let people see that you do care for them by showing them what Sterne so happily called the small courtesies, in which there is no parade, whose voice is still to tease, and which manifest them selves by tender and affectionate looks andI little acts of attention, giving others the preference in every little employment, at the ta b)1e, in the field, walking, sitting and standing. Poor Max Adeler ! Hear what he has to say about a hotel clerk: "I can shake hands with a governor, sit beside an alderman, and smoke with a State senator, and never feel my littleness ; but when I come to stand in the presence of a modern hotel clerk I feel that awe and in feriority which tourists feel as they stand in Yosemite valley and look up at the mountain-tops a thousand feet above. "I have come for my umbrella," said the lender of it to his friend, on a rainy day. "Oan't help that," said the borrower, "don't you see that I'a just going out with it ?" "Well, ye.," replied the lender, so tonlshed at such outrageous lua dues "yes, but-but--what se to do ?" "Dot'" said the other as he opened the umbrella and walked off. "do as I dia..harrm ana."
