Do me this courtesy, Thou silent rose; Nobody knows How the rain comes down In the town, I WOMAN9 IFTER ALL. 'Take off thiat hideous bonnet, D)orotfiy. I want to see your sweet little face without it.' 'Thou shouldst not speak so Charles. It is very wrong.' 'Wiy, little Dorothy ? Tell me why.' 'Thou knowest favor is deceitful and beauty vain. We ought to 6ear testinony against the vanity of personal looks.' 1 'Ought we? Then tell me why 4t pleased Providence to tuake you so beautiful, my small cousin.' 'Hush, Ch~rles, I will not per mit thee to speak to me in.this nanner.' And litUe Dorothy Hicks, the Quakeress, put on the gravest air -an stzlggled valiant ly to tiirn the corners of her mouth down when they wanted to.turn lip. 'Don't look so serious, little girl. you positively alarm me.' And Charles Maynard burst into a hearty laugh that echoed through tlie NpIar tre nte old garden. 'Now tell me, Doroty-I insist upou knowing,. as. a -membber of four family, I consider that I ha1ve the'right to b'e.inforned-are you ongjto .marry_ Brosdbrim ?'.

'Y-e-s. But, Charles, I fear.it is my duty-' 'No, it isn't; You know yoi don't want to spend this lovely eenng in ire houae entertaining B4tlmiim; and you want to g< with mre and watch the sunset or the river.' Dotlf 1'ookW' d6ubtfully to ward the house and wistfully to ward the river 'Fem me qui hosie6 est, perdue, Dorothy, which means 'if we don' hurry, Greycoat will come out an~ catch us.' Charles ~t&Dorothy' hand in1hts,and in~a'mo'men t the; are on their way to the shore. BJut, Charles, see that cloud ii r the south. If there were t'obe storm?' 'But there will niot, come jum] in.' T he ohrs were lifted into tb row-locks, Dorothy- -takes the management of the rudder in her hands, and soon.they are gliding over the smooth surface of the wa. ter, leaving a track of silvery bub. bles behind them.. It is a lovely e veniig. The misLy shadows of twilight are gaLther'ng in the cast and the west; the cloud*,-.blood. red and purple, are casting a rosy light all over the broad river; a fresh breeze is blowing round their face-, and waves splaRh against the sides of their boat, like low, monotonous music. Charles is talkingabo'ut his home, telling Dorothy about his aunts and cous ins he has not seen. for a long time, and. %musing her with stories of his coflege days, and hisefforts to make his way in his profession, which were so unsuccessful at first. Neither of them notices that the breeze grows fresher, and that the dark cloud in the south his spread over the horizon, and is covering it with 4arkness. Presently a low, m.ttering growl of thunder star ties them from the dream into which they had fallen. 'Turn back, Chprles, turn back V screomed Dorothy, 'the storm is upon us!' They had been rowing with the tide. The river is very wide, and the increasing force of the waves and the wind together is so strong that when they at tempt to turn about the water rushes into the tiny boat. Both, faces grow pale in the murky light as they see the danger. 'It is impossible; you can't do it!' 'Tell me, Dorothy, what is that dark object just ahead ?' 'It is a ledge of rocks, but when the tide cores in from the sea it will be covered,' and with a low moan Dorothy sank from her seat and covered her face with her hands. 'We will try and land there. The tide will not turn for an hour.' Tho effort was successful. The ledge is reached, and Charles car ries Dorothy to the very highest rock and lays her gently down. 'My love, my little love,' he cried 'sing her helpless hands, 'I have killed yoq?' 'Stop,' she exclaimed. 'Listen. There isa boatl Itis coming this way.' Dorothy is upon her knees, and 'a wild cry of thanksgiving comes from her lips. .Aphraim .Ford had followed them, the heavy boat with its sin gIs oppg pg!nt is 'strong eno4~gh to resist the waves and as he nears then, they go don n to meet him. 'Back !' he cries, 'I will not take but one of you; it is not safe.' The grim Quaker, with his stern emotionless face, wrenches away the slenider han'ds that cling to Charles, and clasping Dorothy tightly in his arms lays'hber at his own feet in thebottom of the boat. Not "a wored is soken until tb6y reach the'opposite shore. Then he takes.her up again and carries beE to the nearest fisher's hut up the bespIa. As they stand within the sheltei of the little cabin, Dorothy looks at him with wild eyes, and a ery of torture issues from her white lips. 'Go back, go back!) You will gc back for him ?' 'Go. back. for your elegant city lover, whose ignorant carelessnesi *ould have cost yo~u your life but for me?' Dorothy falls on her knees anc grasps his cold hands in agony o entreaty. 'Go back, go back !' 'Promise mo,first that you wil not marry him. Swear it as thi world's people do.' He takes her band and holds up to heaven, and waits for th oath. Dorothy's lips move, but ni sound comne from them. Doroth; had fain ted. The fisherman's wife takes th Lnconsciouts girl and -lays her 01 her own bed, and Ephraiim For goes .upon his errand of mere; with murder ini his heart. The storm had lulled for a mc ment. It comes on so gradually stopping every now and'then, a if to make the earth believe tha i, were doubtful of its 1ier, an can afiord to wait. S ami in -looks ist the sky. Iti still red in the west ; the waves are rising steadily, but his stout built -boat, directed by his power. ful strength, can yet make its way through them. There is plenty of time; the tide'will not turn for liiran hour. Ephraim fights his battle with temptation and wins the victory; for, twenty minutes later the stur dy boat plows its way back to the shore, and two silent men strug. gled against the wind up the beach to the fisherman's hut. Dorothy is waiting for them. Her ontstretched urms would wind themselves about both, but the stern, fixed look in Ephraim's eyes restrained her, and Charles turns from her and fixes his eyes upon the ground. - It is a terrible moment-forDor othy. She 'knows they both love her, and sheihivera at- th'e-buffer ing in' bothfaces. Then she remembeii'thebatb she did not speak, and a wild sort of terror takes poisession of her soul. She speaks at last, and tries to thank Ephraim for the service he had done them. 'Spare me thy gratitude, Dor othy,' he commands, in a slow, solemn tone, peculiar to his people. 'I know I have done thee a service. I would not hear of it again. I tried to make thee swear an oath. Dorothy, I am glad it was not spo ken. Tell me now, though, dost thou love this young. man? Wilt thou. forswear thy religion, forsake the faith of thy forefather's and become one of the world's peopie?' Dorothy's eyes looked toward Charles with a mute appeal. 'He has saved both our lives, dear,' answers the young man, in reply to her glance, 'and he's wor thy of your love.' Then his eye's seek the 4oor again. He has re ceived his life from this man's hands, and now he will speak no word to rob him of his treasure. - 'Speak, Dorothy,' 9phraim re peats. 'It is for you to choose.' Dorothy's voice is eboked with tears and her breast shaken with sobs, as she answers: 'It is very, very wicked of me, Ephraim, but I love him so!' Then she stretched out her helpless hands, and the sweet lips whisper, 'Charles.' Only a single word, but it de cides her life. In a moment she is in her lover's arms, and for the Aedonid time that night unconsei oIs. 'The nobler man of the two goes unheeded out in the storm to con quer his heai'tache_alone. OgtuHmuous. GaQWTNJ QP TIJE SOUTH. Baltimore Sun. *Fragmentary estimates of the pop. ulation of cities -and States, as fur nished by the census of the present year, have been given from time to time in the B9un. They .indicate a larger increase ift the population of the Southern States than was ex peote4, an It is belieye4 tim tMhi increase will, on the whole, compare fairly well with that of the North. western States during the past decade. Some part of this apparent Southere 1increase may be due to tLe greatel thoroughness with which the preseni census has been taken there in oom Iparison with the enguieration of 1870 r part7, hoWever, from this; there hau been a larger increase of populatior -from inter-State and foreign immigra inthnmost persons are aware of Texas, as is well known, has been and still is a favorite field for immigration and the census indIcates that, fron this and from natural causes, the.gail in population during the past tet years,-has been somewhere about nine ty per cent. There has also been considerable imnmi$ration to some part of Tennessee, and particularly to th< eastern counties, where colonies bav< been established for dairy and stock raising purposes, and where conipanie Shave been formed within easy reach a the railroads to. d-evelop its minera resources. So far as heard fros the estimated increase of populatiol 5ranges, according to localities, fror t three to one hundred and three pa I cent. In A labama, in like mannel associations of capitalists from othe a Stes have added to its growth il population by establishing furnaces and iron works in that region, so rich in coal and iron ore. In Virginia there has been some immigration from Eingai, dtm6rdfrom- PeErnsytvania and the Eastern States, large bodies of lands, rich' in coal and iron, having been boug-htup there by Eastern iron masters P"tlthers. Thd-!estimated increase in, population in F' 'da is over sixy. per cent. ; in Arkansas nearly fifty per cent.; in West Vir ginia sixty per cent.; in Louisiana and the other Gulf States^abbut twen ty p'zeisit. As these figures ar offi cat,-id the appointment of enumeya tors is altogethei in Republican hands, any charge of fraud in the enumera tion is simply ridiculous. It was nat ural that the Southern States, with their abundance of cheap lands, should increase in population when their labor system was adjusted much more rapidfy than before, and this is what they have done. THE WORLD'S FAIR IN 1883. keeting of te em.ainoners in Now York City YAterday. NEW YORK, August 10.-The com mission for the United States Inter national Exhibition of 1883 assembled in the Governor's room in the City Hall at noon. Col. Stebbins, of N. Y., acted as temporary chairman. Mayor Cooper welcomed and extended the hospitalities of the city to the commissioners. Thurlow Weed was present, and his appearance was greeted with applause. On motion of Mr. Hunt, of Louisiana, a committee of five on credentials was appointed. Ex Governor Hatten addressed the com missioners, and deprecated in the discussions all allusions to politics. Ex-Lieut. Governor Crawford, of Kansas, was the next speaker. He thought the commissioners should make the fair the greatest the world has ever seen. Mr. Sperry, of Connecticut, was anxious to have the site at once de-, cided on, as he thought the financial men of the city would then come for ward with the necessary funds. Richard Henry Lee, of Virginia, spoke of the peaceful effect that the exhibition would have upon the entire country when in the hearty grasp of the hand of fellowship all sectiunal feeling would be forgotten. The Hon. Algernon Sullivan, representative of New York, addressed the commission ers at length. The report of the committee on: credentials was received, and the'rollt called. Committees on by-laws and temporar'y organization were appointed, after which Samuel A. Haines, chair man of the committee on the site presented a long report, and a speci'al committee of twelve was appointed to visit the localities mentioned in that report.: A letter was read from Gen. Hancock regretting his inability to attend, but assuring the commissioners of his interest in the undertaking. The following temporary officers were chosen :Henry F. Stebbins, President; F. L. Talcott, Vice-Presi dent ; George W. Dibevois, Treasurer. ThE GENTLEMAN WHo WINs. If you speak the itight word at the right time ; if you are careful to leave people with a good im pression ; if you do not tresspass on-the rights of others; if you do not put yourself unduly for ward ; if you do not forget courtesies w bich belong to your position, you are quite sure to accomplish much in life which others fail to. This is where the .race is not. to the swifl nor the battle to the strong. It is where you manke people feel that you are unselfish. and honor. able: and truthful and sincere, This is whbt society is looking for in men, gnd it is astonishing how much mea are able to win self. -respect and success and usefulness who possess these qualities o: good breeding. It is almost the turning point of success in prae tical lite. iLovers of peace and quiet ar4 fnow preparing for a big effort tc prove that this country has beez .laboring under a great mistake that the Declaration of Indepen idence was signed February 29 rThere's as much craft on lan4 a snn water THAT DECEIVING HAN MOCK. 'I've been a fool!' growled Harp er yesterday as he untied a parcel in his front yard and-shook out a new hammock. 'Here I've been lopping around all through this infernal hot spell when I might just as well have been swinging in a hammock and had my blistered back cooled off by the breezes.' Any one can put up a hammock. All you've got to do is to untie about 500 knots, unravel about 500 snarls, and work over the thing until you can tell whether the open side was meant to go up or down. This puzzled Harper for full -twenty minutes, but he finally got it right and fastened the ends to two convenient trees. Then he took off. his. hat and coat and rolled in with - great sigh of relief. No, he didn't quite roll in. He was all ready to when the hammock walked away from him, .and he rolled over on the grass and came to a stop with a -:roquet ball under the small of his back. 'Did you mean to do that?' call ed a boy who was looking over the fence and slowly chewing -Away on green apples. S'Did I?- Of course I did I Git down off'n'ihat fence or I'll call a policemalfl' The boy slid down and Harper brought up a lawn chair for the next move. It's the easiest thing in the world to drop off a chair into a hammock. Lots of men would be willing to do it on a sal ary of ten dollars per week. The trouble with Harper was that he 'didn't drop all his body at once. Vhe upper half got into the ham mock all right, but the lower half kicked and thrashed around on the grass until the small boy, who didn't mean to leave the neig. borhood until the show was out, felt called upon to exelaim: 'You can't turn a handspring witL your head all wound up in that ere net, and I'll bet money on it.' Harper suddenly rested from his labors to rise up and shake his fist at;the young villian, 14t that didn't help the case a bit. He hadn't got into that hammock ylet. H carefully looked the case over, and decided that he had his plans toc hig. He therefore lowered the neL to within two feet of the ground and he -had it dead sure: fle fel into it as plump as a bag of shot go ing down a well. He felt arounc to see if he was all in, and then gav4 hifl a swing. No person car be happy in a hammock unless the hammock has a pendulum motion This hammock 'of Harper's wai just getting the regular salt watei swing gwhen his knots untied and he came down on the broad of hii back with such a jar that the small boy felt called upon to observe : 'That ain't no way to level a lawn-you want to use a regulai roller l' After the victim had recovered consciousness he crawled slowly out, gently rubbing his back on ac apple tree, and slowly disappear ed around the corner of the honse in search of some weapon which would annmhilate the hammock at one sweep, and though the boy called to him again and again, ask ingif a minstrel performanee was to follow the regular show, Mr Harper never turned his head noi made a sign.-De2r.pit Free Press. Seth Green is authority for thi statement that 'Plain commoi sense has more to do with catch ing fish than luck has.' Thiu is true. Common sense dictates a trade with the small boy wh< -has the luck. Seth Green, the fishist, an nounced that -he had invented:a new fly, and six bald-headed mel had to be hold while it was ez plained to them that the inven tion was merely to fool a fial with. Soap bubbles are airy things, bn they soon burst. ,Tust so it is wit: me'n puffed up with vanity. The; make a show for a season-sail o: the current, but soon burst, an not hing s left of them. I BLOT OUT A DAY. I keep on a desk before me a calendar of the year, with the day of each week by numerals.. Wbep the day is-passed I draw my pen across a figure or the figures representing a day.. It is gone, and I blot it out. So far as the column of numerals is con cerned, I can do so. But I am startled by the words, 'I blot out a day.' A day -is a wheel in the great machinery of life,-a link in the chain of my probation. It is as truly a part of vital and essential being as a year or a century. The day is given me. Will it vanish, at my bid ding? I did - not originate it; I. only received it. I have no more power to blot it out than to bring it in. It was a gift. How should I treat the giver if I could and would blot - it oat? It came as a proof of the love of the Giver. To many that day came not. It was on its way, but the chain broke. But.Divine kindness would not allow me to be a loser. Shall I not honor the Giver? A day of sadness perhaps I Blot it out for that reason? If my sins made the sadness of the day, then let the day stand-a memen to of and reminder of my folly. That day is worth saving that brings such a voice of reproof. Perhaps the day was sad under divine discipline. Surely, then, it ought to stand lest, blotting it out, offence be given to him who afflicts 'for our profit that we might be partakers of his holi ness.' A day of gladness, p*rbaps-tho sky bright, the si5 balmy, joy in friends and all worldly comfort above all, joy in the Lord and gladness in his salvation. Shall I mar such a beautiful picture ? Shall I blot out such a day ? THE STRONGEST MAN IN THE WORLD.-Prof R. Proctor found at Reno, in Nevada, a man who claims to be the strongest man in the world. His name is Angelo Cardela. He is an Italian, aged thirty-eight, and stands five feet in height, weighing one hundred and thirty-eight pounds. In ap pearance a good-looking son of Italy, with a heavy, broad face, noble development of chest and shoulders, and large, fleshy hands. His strength was boru, with him,. for he has had no athletic training. He differs from other men chiefly in his osseous structure. Though not of unusual size, his spinal col umn is double the ordinary width, and his bones and joints are made on a similar and generous scale He can lift aman of two hundred pounds with the middle finger of his right hand. The man stood with one foot on the floor,. his arm outstretched and his hands grasised by two persons to balance his body. -Car dela then stooped down and placed the thirdfinger of his right hand under the man's foot, and deposited him on a table near at hand. Once two powerful Irish men waylaid Cardela -with intent to thrash him, but he seized one in each hand and beat them to gether till life was nearly ham- . mered out -ofMeu, E wis of quiet and . peacekifel - disposition, and his strength. inherited, for he states his fther was more power ful than himself. If a Connecticut boy has good flick in crawlirng under the can vas he will give one-half of the 50 cents thus saved to the heathen. Religion has a strong hold on even the youth of the Nutmeg State. The care of most people is how to get husbands- for their daugh toe; but my care is to fit my idaughters to be good wives ; and ithen let God provide for them. Strong in the goodness of his Scause, with his back to the throne of God and his foot.on the rock of truth, a man can stand agains.t the world. In most quarrels there is a fault von both eides. A quarrei may be Scompared to a spark, which can Snot be produced wlthout.a flint as well as siet
