Many a nile to go;
Little feet how they patter,
Wandering to and fro!
Trying again so bravely.

Proud a a biby can be.
Talking the oddest of language
Ever before was heard;
But Mother-you'd hardly think so
Understands every word.
Tottering now and faling,
Eyes are gong to cry;
Kisses and plenty of love-words.
Willing again to try.

A HEART LdST AND WON.<
'-If only she did not wear that
horrid dress! I hate serge. It clings
so closely to the form, and--well
there's no use talking, I could not
endure the lack of popular style."
He might have added, what held
prwnmiann inhisthought, that
she was an orphan, and portbiz)le.
"I most say-that I think be the
maost nsible girl that I ever met;
and her excellence there's none to
dispate-devoting heryoung jife as.
she does to the care of two queru
lous old people, who areonlydistant
ly related, when their own proper
relations are indifferent as to the
welfare of both. However,sinc in
your acy the quality of the soul of
womanhood depends upon its est
casement, Iwould advise you to
confine your New Year's call to
eity imits in future. We shallnot
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
teni up for the occasion."
There was the slightest possible
sneer upon the handsome lips of
Harry Beadwell as these remarks
were uttered, which was unperceiv
ed by his friend Wordly, as they
were whirled back toward the city.
"What possessed them to come
here," wondered Lucinda Whitford,I
as she sat musing in her own quiet
little room, after they were gone.
"I only met themi once, at Cousin
'Eva's party, and then I fancied
young Wordly was inclined to
slight me because I was not in full
Stoilet. I wonder why Eva always
insists that plain, quiet dresses are
Smore becoming to my style! Yet
1we are said tobe very much alike,
and her's are so very different. I
should think that when my clothes
are~ all I receive for constant attand
anceon hergrandparents, shesh.ol
atleast allow me to exercise my own
taste in their selection."
She glanced inquisitively at the
opposite mirror.
A clear cut face, perfecti inut
line, though lacking in bloom1 shone
wey white and marble-like against
&the dark blue serge the more. The
ibend of harbhaadten4i
linen at the throat were plain and
simple-to "set off the elassic," as
her artful cousin termed her style;
or, rather, as y o ua n g Wordly
thought, her lack of style. He was
wealthy, and traveled, and his opin
ions were of great weight within
he circle surrounding the Fifth
menue belle and her quiet cousin,
Gheinda Whitford. His friend,
Harry Beadwell, thought different
Ly. But we will not anticipate.
"Luoinda, come here and read
his letter. My old eyes fail me
nore and anore. It is from William.
What does hesAy ?" queried the old1
nan impatiently.
"First, that auntie and yourselfjI
ome West and make your home
here. Secondly- what is this?" i
aid she, sweelng her band over
he marble face, now crimson.
'Since Lucinda's distant relative, I
on her mother's side, has been so I
ocommodating as to die and leave
cool hundred thousand, she will
ko longer care to shut herself up
with two old people." "He does
ne great injustice," she exclaimed.
'But what does it all mean I"
"Simply this: Your mother's I
mcle has died, leaving her his pro
erty, which falls to you, as her on
y natural heir."
"I do not understand. Eva and
ker father must have known this."
"He is Rainford's executor," he
dded, in an undertone. "Now, as
Imother, of course you will live with
hem until you are of age, and we
hal go to W m. You have been
good girl, Lucinda, and may God
ess .you!"
Again it was New Years Day. I
lany homes are ablaze with light I
ad luminous with indescribable
=saintions. Eva Rainsfordlooked
harming in her dark beauty, with
ier wonderful hair arranged in a
oiffure a la Forbillon. The Auffy I
rands seemed airy as light itself
bove the misty meshes of her round
>oint fichu. Her dress, an artistic,
olending of blush rose,and cerese
due, with a full garniture of point I
me, festooned with blush buds and
aue forget-me-nots, set off her love
ness to perfection. And yet young,
Fordly turned from her loveliness1
o the radiant vision at her side.
A clear cut marble image, with
mre high brow, from which the
iir was swept in Maria Stuart rip
des, surmounted by a double coro
iet of cluster curls, whieh ooftened
he lineaments into a wondrous
eauty, then cascaded away into a
ilderness of loosened tresses upon 1
lie perfect shoulders. Her dress
af dead white silk was guiltless of,a
me puff or ionnee, and the tout en-i
anble unrelieved by so much as
me ray of coloring. The overdress
e putfed tulle was caught up hero
atd there by a star or arrow of
forwegian silver, and the bodie
was relieved by a necklace of Geno
se silver, delicate as frost work,
md costly as pearls. Even the fas- 3
dious Wordly was forced to admit
ier style was perfect."
"Miss Whitford," he said, "you
ie absolutely dazzling. Remain
ire wileBeadwell and Miss Rains
ord are refreshing themselves. Let'
ne. ask you what I have so longed
o ask ever since last New Yeir's.
Willyoube my wife ?"
Other callers interrupted them;
mt Wordly knew women ; and her
msawer, though a silent onie, sent
he blood a mad race through his
patrician veins. Beadwell saw it,
:oo, with a strange heart burning
-a bitterness toward the man who
was his friend.
"Are yountired, Cinda 1" said Eva,
ater in the day.
"Yes, a little. I am going round
to see Nettie Crusworth; she has
ent for me. Many of the Sacred
Eeart girls receive there to-day,
md they are going to have a nice
:jiet time. Of course you know
Beadwell will return to-night."
"How should E know ; he did not
belme. So don't be a hypocrite,
sousin. You cannot be blind to
he fact so patent to all others, that
d worships the very ground you
walk upon.
A revelation seemed to burst upon
uinda Whitford. Perhaps that
is why he avoided her so sedulous
Ly. Perhaps that was why he said
once, "that if he loved a portion
ess 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
hone of her friend. The girls were
oproarious, and scarcely heard the
footman announce Mr. Wordly.
Lucinda instantly darted behind
the drapery which half concealed
the bay window, bidding them be
silent by a gesture.
A roguish girl, who suspected
how matters stood, rallied him upon
his manifest penchant for the heir
W., whih he stonBly denied.
"What! you know the weakness
is of long standing. Do not dis
Olaim it."
"You mistake me," he said, with
i deep flush of wine or shame upon
his cheek; "I deny the charge.

"I thank you, Mr. Wordly," said
Lucinda, stepping into tue room.
'You will excuse me, Nettie, I must

There was a strange glamor over

arriage whirled homeward. Bitter
iumiliation was upon her like a
brushing weight. On the steps

rembled visibly.
" You love me ?" she said, simply.
"As my own soulI Yes, passion
as slain pride, and I am here to

"I believe you," she answered;
'it is all sufficient."
"Thank heaven !" was his ardent
-espouse, and the New Year closed

FIFTY THOUS AND MIL.
LIONS.
DUX"Tn, Brail, November 10,
L874.-The hour ismidnight, and I
ive just come in a trifie jaded, but
efore retiring I purpose, while yet
he fact are vivid in my mind, to
ive you some account of a wedding,
attended this evening. It was a
wedding, I make bold to say, the
ike of which was never celebrated
n either continent. The high-con
racting parties to the marriage
were Mia&, only daughter of Da
5ouna Cabral, the great diamond
dng of South America, and George
Irthur Throckmorton, a native of
Kentueky, United Statesof America,
who, for the past five years, has
menu ueccessfully engaged in rail
-oading in this country, with head
inarters at Rio Janeiro. Da Souza
Jbral is principal owner of nine of
he richest diamond mines in South
merica and from them, in the
iggregate, he derives an annual in
ome of not lees than $20,000,000.
Eis interests in gold mines proba
>y amounts to as much more, and
[am cognizant of the fact that last
Lugust he sold a one-tenth interest
n the celebrated Bahia mine-of
which, until then, he had been sole
>roprietor, for $3,500,000, gold. His
liamond interests in South Africa
md Siberia he lately estimnated un
ler Oath (in some legal proceedings
>efore a court in Mina Geraes) at
he enormous sum of $50,000,000 !
Ee has, beside, a great penchant
for real estate, and I was but re
sently informed by one of his agents,
thoroughly trustworthy man, that
Dabral's rentals in London and
lasgow alone yield over ?150,000
bnually. In 1888 he purehased
he patent for making eyelets, from
I poor fellow whom he found starv
gin agarret at Maranham. To-day
he machine is extensively used all
>ver the world, and Cabral draws
12,600 a day from this source alone.
Ad then there are his sewing ma
shine royalties that yield him some
thing over $5,000 a day. [The cor
~etness of this last item is vouched
!or by afriend of mine, who is the
manager of the leading sewing ma-I
shine company in Brasil.] Indeed,
it is easy to tell what he is inte
rested in, but hard to think of some
hing that is anything in which he
is not. It would be a puzzle to
iaie a leading railroad in South
merica or England, in which he
ba not a stake. He takes in some
hing over a million and a half a
year from his steamship stock, and
probably twice as much more from
other sources. A cool, clear-headed
an of sixty, six feet high,' straight
as an arrow, with an eye like
a eagle, a judgment as unerring as
ate, and a decision as quick as~
ightning, with superb nerve, un
sonquerable boldness, and an appa
rent incapacity to blundering, Da
Souza Cabral stands to-day the
wealthiest man on the globe. He
was lately asked by an intimate
friend in my presence, if he had
ay conception of the sum total of
his possessions. He thought for a
moment; and then quietly replied:
"I could not swear that I was not
worth-presuming that I could rea
lize on all my property--$50,000,
000,000." He made thi .astound
ing exhibit with perfect sang froid,
but I must confess that as he spoke
I felt something very like pity for
him. I could not help but think
how specially diffiult it might be
fr him to stisfactorily solve the
~~~1
quets-amounted to $50,00. Bu
the strangest thing in regard tA
this bower I have yet to tell. It
floor for the entire length was cov
ed with camel's hair shawls, to mi
mind a piece of preposterous, aye
wicked extravagance. But the fa
ther of the bride declared that s<
long as it was his only daughte
and only child whose marriage hi
was celebrating, he would send he3
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 extraordinari
purpose were purehased in London
the order being for "the best thal
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
amonq the poor of the district.
PaucLYON PsI0Fs.
And now a few words about the
bride's present. They were by a*
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.
Ih piece bears the- monogram ol
Cabral and Throkmortou in dia
monds. The cost of this proof of ma
ternal affection was something over
$4,000,000 in gold. In addition,
Mine. 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 ol
England-England being the ob
jective point of the bridal tour

self with this display of his bounty,
Cabral preserkted her with as fine a
steamship as could be built on the
Clyde, with fall complement of sail
ore under contract ior ten years
service, anda with salaries paid in
advance for the full term; one
dozen milk-white Arabian horses,
and, this as ajoke, 1,00pounds of
aramls, a confection for whieb
the bride is said to have a pro
nounced liking. But
ma caoWENGa GPr
was a necklace that deserves to
rank among the enumerated won
ders of the *orld. 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
ons 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
necklace, and at one time agl
made overtures for the celebrated
Pitt diamond, which cost the Duke
of Orleans, adeording to history,
$675000, anid which Napoleon at
one time wore on his sword hilt
He was baf Rd in this attempt, how
ever, much to his disappointment,
but after ten years of unremnitting
huntighe at last got together thirty
of the largest and purest diamonda
in the world, no one of -which was
much inferior to the Pitt gem.
Taking these to Amsterdam, he
summoned the best talent in thai
city, famous for its diamond cutters,
and stated what he desired-which
was that each of the thirty stonet
should have a fantastic face cui
upon it. Amsterdam at first said
that the task was more than hurcu
len-that it was impossible. Bul
when Cabral stated the stupendous
sum he was willing to pay for the
nlfillment 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.
slt 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, wore placed in the hands of
the jubilant Cabral. I happened
to be present when Malia first wau
shown the necklace, a couple oi
days before she was married. She
wore ablackusilk at the time, and
her father, after throwing the bril
liants, that contrasted so strongly
with the color of the dress, ovei
her head, stepped back a few paes
to notice the effect. Having gazed
at the flashing necklace for a min
ate or so, he suddenly broke intc
a loud laugh, and eriod out, morri

problem of the camel and the nee
dle's eye.
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, foung Throck
morton, is descended fromoneof the
oldest and wealthiest families of the
"blue grass country," as he loves to
call it. He came to Brazl 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-whelminly
gigantic fortune, but still quite
sufAient to relievehim from the
imputation of marrying the fair
Malia Cabral for money. He met her
frst a year ago at aball at Pernam
buco, and the result was a case of
love at first sight on both their
parts. They make'an exceedingly
prepossessin couple-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 recipientseseh in its dainty
box of sandal wood. These boxes,
1,000 in number, were manufae
tured to order expressly for this
wedding at Canton. EAch one of
them was furnished with a look 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 a I write,
and I catch the delicate scent of
the sandaL
AN RARTMn PAMM.
The residence of the great Dis
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 distriet The house is
the complete realiution 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 eemed 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 witha soft yet bril
liant light. Here and there, on the
green slopes, or in the rustic bow
ers, or at the edge of some roman
tic ravine, large music-boxes, im
bedded a nd completely hidden
from view in mos, played a soft
and dreamy accompanimant to the
voice of the fountains. One hun
dred music-boxes were employ
ed in this service, and the tunes
that were pricked on their cylinders
were composed especially for the
nuptial night by no less celebrated
a musician than Usz=& 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
one that listened to the music. The
music-bozes will be distributed on
the morrow among the bridesmaids
and other guests of this evening,
as unique remembrances of the
wedding. 'Each of one them wasimn
ported from Paris, is cased in mo
saic, and elaborately finished in
gold, silver, and a variety of pre
ious stones. The hnndred boxes
cost as many thousand dollars. The
drawing-room in which the Ken
tnckian and his "dark Brazilian
bride" were made one flesh had
one feature in its adornment which
elicited the most fervent expression
of delight and amazement from all
who were present. I allude to the
decorations of the four walls. They
were one mass of full-blown white
camellias from floor to ceiling, and
a good sised diamond was inseted
in the centre of each to cunningly
counterfeit the dew drop. The ef
fect was simply ravishing. It is
estimated that the adornment of
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
perfect "as the bosom of a star."
A PATE OF FLoWERS.
The entire distance from the Ca
bral mansion to the nearest railroad
station, something less than a quar
ter of amile, was literally away of
flowers-not under foot, but in
graceful arches overhead. Thus a
long, snow-white bower, fashioned
entirely of roses, was the connect
ing link between the drawing room
and the drawing-r~oom car. The
demand made on Flora for the
materials for this picturesque cov
ered way was unprecedent. -The

D NWBDRMG TOIM -
You must not expect from me
.any description of the ornate and
bewildering toilets worn at the wed
ding-no, not even of the bridas
rare raiment. I am indebted to a
lady guest for the information that
her dress was of point laee, founced,
or rather garlanded, to the waist
with strings of seed pearls, with
voluminous train edged with a
filagree of gold thickly set with
diamonds. Her neck was circled
by her father's wonderful offering,
besides whieh there were diamonds
banded on her hair and in brae
lets on her wrists. She was certain
ly the most blazing beauty I ev*r
gazed upon.
There was one feature of the
wedding arrangements which struck
me might better have been omitted
entirely, or at least very materially
modied,. but whieh, neverhees,
in the mock it made of expense, was
quite in keeping with all the other
features. I allude to the provision
made for the backmen who -drove
the guests to and from the festivi
ties. On the velvet lawn just out
side the Cabral manson, a dozen
or more Sevres vases were set
corresponding in size and shape to
an Ameriea peach basket-each
one of which was heaped to the
brim with thegold coin of the coun
try. The drivers as they dropped
their loads had their attention call
ed to the curreney in the vases, and
were cordially invited to help them
selves.

As often as the vases were . emp
tied they were promptly replenish

sole prVose One of the hekmen
responded so heartily to the invi
tation that when the time came for
him to drive baek to town'he was
forced to request his two passen
gers to favor him bytaking aseat
on the bo. He explained, not
without blushes and
that tha issidn of his coach was oe
cupied by the gold pieces he had
accumulated during the evening ;
and that he would not have taken
so many had it not.jeen for the
thought of a sick wife at home.
Having listenad 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 udde impulse, he proprosed
a subscription for her benefit. The
response was general, and in a short
time the snug sum of $10,090 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 yourailing wife,
my man," as Cabral put it, he burst
into tears, declaring that there
never was sneh a man in the world
as Da Sousa CabraL.

The whole world is like the miller
at Mansfield, 'who cared for nobody
-no, not he-because, nobody
cared for him.' And the whole world
would serve you if you gave them
the cause. Let people see that you
do care for them by showing themf
what Sterne so happily called the
small courtesies, in which there is
no parade, whose voice isastill to
tease, and which manifest them
selves by tender and affectionate
looks and little acts of attention,
giving others the preference in
every little employment, at the ta
ble, in the field, walking, sitting
and standing.
Poor Max Adeler!i Hear what
he has to say about ahotel 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 clerklI feel that awe and in
feriority which tourists feel as they
stand in Yosemite valley and look
up at the mountain-tope a thousad
feet above.

A story is told of daugliter-of a
prominent person now in the lec
ture field, which is peculiarly in
teresting and suggestive of uncon
scious wisdom. A gentlean was
invited to the lecturer's house to
tea. Tmme4ialy on being seated
at the table, the little girl astonish
ed the family circle and the guest
by the abrupt question:
"Where is your wife?"
Now the gentlean, having been
recently separated from the part
ner of his life, was taken so com
pletely by surprise that he stam
mered forth the truth:
"I don't know."
"Don't know !" replied the ensfant
terrible "Why don't you know ?"
Finding that the child persisted
in her interrogatories, despite the
mild reproof of her parents, he con
chuded to make a clean breast of the
matter, and have it over at once.
So he said with aca1mness ghich
was the result of inward expleges:
"Well, we don't live together ; we
think, as we can'tagree, we'd better
not."
He stifled a groan as the child
began again, and darted an exaspe
rated look at her parents. But the
little torment would not be quieted
until she exclaimed:
"Can't agree! Then why don't
you fight it out, as pa and ma do ?"
"Vengeance is mine," laughingly
retorted the visitor, after "pa" and
"ma" exchanged looks of holy hor
ror, followed by the inevitable roar.
Some years ago, in one of our
Western courts, three men-au
Englishma, an Irishman, and a
Scotchman were found guilty of
murder and sentenced to be hung.
The ,Tudge told them they could
each choose a tree on which they
would like to be 'strung up.' The
Scotin promptly chose an ash
tree, and the Englishman an oak
tree. 'Well Pat, what will yoube
hung onu' asked the Judge. 'If it
please your honor, I'd rather be
hung on a gooseberry bush.' 'Oh,'
said the Judge, 'that's not big
enough.' 'Be gorry, then,' replied
Pat, 'il wait till it grows.'
