I A dream-as frail as sweet A sad farewell A faded rose-cast under to Love's dying knell; A promise never kept, Made in spring-bloom- S Then when the winds of autumn swept, Rest-in the tomb. Can God's love be so great h That tiny things Fall not unseen-yet leave to fate Life's hidden springs? s Must tender, loving hearts Jade 'neath the breath Of wicked wiles, insensate arts That end in death? s Must love, whose home is heaven, Wreck life for age ? And she, whose sins her soul has shriven, d Be cast away ! Nay, question not-He knows ! Let that suffice. Through 'wildering roads a saint oft goes To Paradise. -Lilla N. Cushman. n t iMFE1'S FLOTS L a -0 n It was not because he was a woman-hater that Guy Averill, at seven-and-twenty, was still a bach elor and heart-whole. Until this summer he had never been rich enough to suppoi t a wife; it was j almost more than he could do to take care of himself, so he did not feel justified in paying attentions to any lady seriously. Although he was industrious and talented, clients were few and far between-were almost un- n known to the deserving young a lawyer until he did not so sorely need them. One week-such is the perversity of fate-after he got news that an uncle had died and left him his sole heir, and found that he was sure of an in come of nearly two thousand a year, then the world suddenly realized that young Averill was a very promising lawyer ? Having a good income and prospects of plenty of remunera ive' work, Guny Averill began to think seriously of matrim~ony, apd rather eagerly accepted an invita tion to accompany his chumn, Cas sius Barclay, to the little town of New Myrtle, where said chum'sE fi.neee lived. 4 For this fnncce, Helen Tre maine, had two sigecrs, and Mrs. Averill agreed with Cassius Bar lay that there were not three such girls in. the world as the three Tremaines. Mrs. .4verill had met them one wjnter nq Washington and afterward had spent six weeks at their house ; hence Guy's invitation, though heI had never seen one of t he fami He knew them ali by descrip-I tion. Helen was not pretty, but was domestic, accomplished and very charming ; the n-ext one,I Win ifrg, wy~ a great rider, swim mer, skater, archer-in fact 's fully fast,' though magnificently beautiful; s:> Guy felt a strong presentiment tha.t while he would for her sake, he would~ be very sure to fall captive to the charms of nineteen-year-old Marcia, the jgentle, fair, lovable girl whose picture he had so rrceh admnired. When be first saw Marcia he was a little disappointed ; her pic ture flattered her; but be soon forot that in conitemnplation of her graceful figure, her gentle voice and her quiet womanly ways. Hie loved to see a wo man all womanly, though a nee die and not a pen should be her tool, believed that the fireside was woman's sphere, and so on;- all of wich conditions Marcia filled. be arrival at sirs. Tremaine's. 'Ved Marcia, meet to LO he spends bours on her horse.' 'Do you ride?' 'Not much. I don't care for such-such violent exercise. In fact, I don't have~ much time for it, I have a good deal of sewing to do, and-' Marcia hesitated and shook out her work rather ostenl tatiously. 'I didn't know you had any lit ti folks in the house,' said Guy, IS attention thus drawn to the fir mall apron in her hand. st: 'Oh, we haven't ! This is for ly ome of our poor Sunday-school w, hildren. When I am at a loss it :>r employment I always know to rhcre to turn, in a manufacturing to own like this there is so much w uffering.' -Do your sisters aid you ?' Ji 'Helen can't, her trousseau keeps P ,er busy now ; and Winifred- al 'ell, I'd laugh to see her doing st uch work.' yc 'As what?' asked Winifred, who J0 ad just entered. hi 'Sewing or embroidering,' an wered Marcia, not quite truth- G ally ; but Guy not knowing the to iffirence between embroidery de ad plain sewing, was none the WI ,iser. 'What is absurdly known as ha ancy' work I utterly abominate ! W( t seems to me a great waste of, Wi me to pass hours and hours in 3 iaking hideous tidies and mats, to r high art curtains out of ticking ! th ad such stuff.' hi 'Don't you ever sew ?' he 'Not if I can avoid it ; certainly ga ot for amusement.' t1E 'Not for the poor ?' m< 'The poor ?' in 'Yes, as Miss Marcia does.' '0-h! No. I don't work for fir oor-as Marcia does,' was Wini- 'W !ed's contemptuogs reply. or And Guy was disgusted. How ras he to know that the little te pron in MDarcia's hands would ril ever have been thought of if Guy Lverill (whose mother had writ en of 'is love for womanly wo en) had not been there to see W nd hear it? But though he was disgusted Tith this athletic young woman's o entimnents, he was by no means so g ith her. Her dark-blue riding abit showed her supple form to th erfection. her soft brown hair 7as ruftled by the wind, and her PC heeks with health and vigor, and lu e was a great centrast to her ale home keeping sister! ' And as the days passed, Guy st gas compelled to change his first pinions of the sisters. Winifred's tb elth, spirits and temp1er seemed sa o be perfect ; Marcia, on the ther band, sometimes forgot her ed ould-be gentleness and showed a sa nappish petulance that amazed cc uy.-o 'What a helpful, cheery woman e would be!' meditated Guy, but ot of Marcia. 'No beadacheos, noila ulks, no sb:trp speeches! But of ere, in a wife one needs domes- to ic virtues as well as a good dis- Wv >sitLion her' abiity to danee and fo ide, skate and swim, shoot and dc irive, will not keep my clothes in F: rder, will not direct the house- dC old. Fancy this lovely young se mazon trying to cook a steak if ni bere should;be a rebellion in the di ~itchen !' But though Guy thought be pt .vas fully determined to marry G ~ome one more like Marcia, yet Pi inifred ruled his dreams by day b< ind night. At last he got to this m >ass: 'Will such a girl ever consent to t cttle down to domestic life. Will he not laugh at me if I dare to peak of love ?'b One day Helen and Cassius si went to a neighboring town on ei usiness, and ~Marcia, \Winifred p' ind Guy wvent rowing on the riv- t r,a narro.w, deep and rapid sream. Just after the girls bad anded Marcia spied an empty bas- a et floating down the stream and er eclared that she wanted it, so Itc Suy rowed out alone to get it. n Suddenly, they never knew whby bi the boat capsized, and Guy in try- 0 ing to regain it was cai'ried yet urther down the stream. bi 'Never mind the boat!' shouted A Winifred. -swim ashore, the cur ent is very stog'fc Which Guy at last concluded to m Cio. When nearly in shore he was: uddenly seized with cramps and b sould swim no further. Marcia d srieked and wrung her hands, ,nd cried; 'Oh, he'll drown-he'll drown l' r4 'Hold your tongue !

His mother was sent for, and he d the best of care, though he )uld rather have had Winifred th him more. It was always .rcia who fanned him and read him in his mother's absence, t ough Winifred always brought rn his meals, and somehow the retofore admired sweetness be n to pall. He sighed for a lit breezy chat as on a warm sum r afternoon one will sigh for an vigorating seabreeze. 'Mother,' said he, suddenly, the st day he was able to sit up, hich do you like best, Winifred Marcia ?' 'Just the question I have in nded to ask you,' was Mrs. Ave 's diplomatic reply. 'Marcia is very gentle.' 'Very ; and so quiet.' 'Winifred is strong, mentally as ll as physically.' 'She is an admirable girl.' Clearly he would get no decide'i inion from his mother. He be ,n again : t 'The fellow that gets either of em for a wife will be lucky.' 'Very true. Is there any pros et that my boy will be so ky ?' 'I wish there was'-with a sigh. ut I fear not; she is so-so rong.' 'Thank fortune, it is Winifred !' ought Mrs. Averill. But she id 'whbo? Marcia ? 'Marcia !

A despatch from Syracuse yes. erday announced that '-Barnum's P Bearced Lady" died on Friday, and r vAs buried on Sunday at Liverpool, a mall village not far from Syracuse. b Iany persons will remember this wo uan. Mrs. Rebecca Lyon was her lame, and for years she has been ex- b iibited in this city and throughout he country. She was a genuine iearded* woman, having a fine, long, c >rown bea:d, and a graceful brown e oustache. Aside from the beard, Y ier appearance was thoroughly femi iue. Her features were delicate and egular, her brow was broad and low, It nd from it a heavy mass of shining S )rown hair swept back and was taste ully arranged. Her eyes were gray, fi arge, and pleasing, and were veiled d >y long curling lashes. The brows 14 bove them were too heavy for beauty. adame Lyon's beard, which was her n ortune, would have been a prize to nauy a youth. It was silky, wavy, ' and luxuriant. Her moustache, a shade g ighter than the beard, curled grace ully upon her short upper lip. She t vas graceful and feminine in all her 0 novements. Her voice was a trifle c )eculiar, having the semi-masculine one that marks the boy's voice just 0 is it is changing. "I knew her quite well," said a )leasant-faced woman in the ticket >ox of the museum at 298 Bowery. 'I was with her a good deal last win- C er, when she was here. This was hen the American Dime Museum. he was a perfect lady, very gentle,b naking many friends wherever she' orked. There was one remark hat pas almost always passed up )D her. It was that her face with ts brown beard and sc-ft gray eyes, C ooked like the pictures of the Savio-ur. [heard this time and time again. - [r husband took tickets here while ~he was in the museum. All last ummer she was at Coney Island, ins Middleton and Ufner's Seaside Aqua-d ium. She left there a while ago to r o on the road, I believe. She was r bout 35 years old." Prof. C. W. McGlennen, proprietor f the Great European Museum and heatram, in the Bowery, said last t ~vening that he had known and ex ibited Mine. Lyon for years. She ~ as first exhibited by P. T. Barnum, ad was connected with his museum vhen it burned. She was also with [orepaugh's for two years. "Her iusbaud was at one time on the police orce here " said the Frcfeso-r, "she ~ad two or three children, I am quite ~ertain, and I believe that she has a laughter living near Syracuse now."

PARI. .ou may talk auuut the marvels f pneumatic clocks, the conve ierice of monster omnibuses, the apidity of comniunication be ween one quarter of Paris and nother, but it is no use trying to bow that the Parisians have o time to spare, and that they re never ii. a hurry. They have much time that they don't now what to do with it. They aste their time like a child wastes is gavety, or a rich man his gold. 'hey squander it looking at the Lars in heaven, or the waters owing under a bridge. Did ever ny one calculate the time spent y the Parisian in reading hand ills and posters? When a dog arks at a cat, when two spar )WS make love to each other on roof, when the canary has es iped into the street, at once a rowd assembles, ninety-nine per ant. of which does not kuow 'bat it is all about. The mar age of a corner grocer with the aughter of the cheese-monger al iost excites a riot; the passage fa coach-and-four causes Lorrand Ycitement; the Parisians will ,and for hours with their feet in e mud to see a procession which ill not pass until the next day, it pass that way at all. The arisians are children who amuse >emselves by playing at business ke scboolboys who play at war. he only difference is that they ave taken their amusement au rieux. If pneumatic clocks did at existgnd if the day were on four hours long, you may be ire that they would find time to Lay dominoes and hang around i ch urch door to catch a glimpse the bride.-Parisian.
