Cushman. )0. by INIFIED'S FLOTSIM, -0 us Ca it was not because he was a o0 in woman-hater that Guy Averill, at seven-and-twenty, was still a bach to elor And heart-whole. Until this summer he had never been rich enough to suppoit a wife; it was almost more than he could do to take care of himself, so ho did not feel justified in paying attentions ag to any lady seriously. Although he was industrious and talented, clients were few and - far between-were almost un known to the deserving young lawyer until be did not so sorely need them. One week-such is )n, the perversity of fate-after he av got news that an uncle had died n and left him his sole heir, and found that he was sure of an in to- como 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 tive' work, Guy Averill began to ik, think seriously of matrimony, apd rather eagerly accepted an invita Xa tion to accompany his chum, Cas es- sius Barclay, to the little town of L New Myrtle, where said chum's finee lived. - oy' this finrgcee, ifelen Tre - maine, had two sistere, an Mrs. Averill agreed with Cassius .Bar algy that there wvere not three Isuch girls in. the world as the tnree Tremaines. Mrs. 4verill had met them one wjnter in ). Washington and afterward had spent six weeks at their house; ~hence Guy's invitation, tbough he hadn never seen one of the fami ~ y. SHe knew them ali by de.scrip tion. Helen. was not pretty, but was domestic, accomplished and al very charming ; the next one, Winie, way a great rider, swim ta, mer, skater, archer--in fact 'ay -- fully fast,' though magnmficently Sbeautiful ; so Guy felt a strong presentiment thyt while he would like Helen, an3d tolerate Winifred for her sake, he would be very sure to fall captive to the charms of nineteen-year-old MNarcia, the gentle, fair, lovable girl whose picture he had so much admired. When lio first sa* Marcia he was a little disappointed ; her pic 2ture flattered her; but ho seer forgot that in contemplation of ep her graceful figure, her gentle voice anid her quiet wvomanly ways. He loved to see a wo man all womanly, though ~a nee dIe and not a pea should be her ntool, believed that the fireside was Swoman's sphere, and so on ; all e -. w bich conditions Marcia filled.

'I didn't know you had any lit 'tIn folks in the bouse,' said Guy his attention thus drawn to the fir small apron in her hand. Sti 'Oh, we haven't! This is for ly some of our poor Sanday-school wt children. When I am at a loss it for employment I always know to where to tuin, in a manufacturing to town like this there is so much wi ,-uffering.' 'Do yoni sisters aid you?' Jil 'Helen can't, her trousseau keeps PO her busy now ; and Wiifred- ial< well, I'd laugh to see her doing stl such work.' 70 'As what ?' asked Winifred, who Jo had just entered. hii 'Sewing or embroidering,' an swered Marcia, not quite truth- Gi fully ; but Guy Dot knowing the to diff5rence between embroidery de and plain sewing, was none the W1 wiser. 'What is absurdly known as ha 'fancy' work I utterly abominate ! WC It seems to me a great waste of, wi time to pass hours and hours in M2 making hideous tidies and mats, to or high art curtains out of ticking th and such stuff.' hil 'Don't you ever sew?' he 'Not if I can avoid it ; certainly ga not for amuseinent.' tle 'Not for the poor ?'m 'The poor?' in 'Yes, as Miss Marcia does.' 'O-h! No. I don't work for fir poor-as Marcia does,' was- Wini- 'w fred's contemptuogs reply. or And Guy was disgusted. 4ow was he to know that tho little tel apron in Marcia's hands would ril never have been thought of if Guy Averill (whose mother had writ en of his love for womanly wo men) -had not been there to set W( and hear it? But though he was disgusted with this athletic young woman's op sentiments, he was by no means so g1 with her. Her dark-blue riding habit showed her supple form to th perfection. her soft brown hair was ruffled by the wind, and her pc cheeks with health and vigor, and lu, she was a great centrast to her pale home keeping sister! 'B And as the days passed, Guy st was compelled to change his first opinions of the sisters. Winifred's th heAlth, spirits and temper seemed sa to be perfect; Marcia, on the other hand, sometimes forgot her ed would-be gentleness and showed a sa snappish petulance that amazed co Guy. - A 'What a helpful, cheery woman she would be!' meditated Guy, but not of Marcia. 'No beadaches, no la sulks, no shirp speeches! But of there, in a wife one needs domes- to tiO virtnes as well as a good dis- w position; ber abiility tq dang and fo ride, skate and swim, shoot and dc drive, will not k.eep my clothes in Fi order, will not direct the house- dc bold.

But though Guy thought he p' was fully determined to marry G some one more like Marcia, yet pi Winifred ruled his dreams by day be and night.' At last'ho got to this rn pass: 'Will such a girl ever consent to til settle down to domestic life. Will she not laugh at me if I dare to speak of lov5 h gno day Helen and Cassius sI went to a ne gbboring town on ei business, and Marcia, Winifred pi and Guy went rowing on the riv- tI r, a narrow, deep and rapid strearp.

He was six feet four inches high and weighed Two hundred and thirty pounds. He could take up a barrel containing thirty or forty gallons, stand erect and hold the bang to his mouth and drink out of it; he could throw an ordinary-siged an vil twenty-five yards; he could I "pull down" four men with a hand spike at one time ; he could shoul der and carry a log that would make seventy-five or a hundred rails, and cQd~ lift a three-year old colt over an eight-rail fence. He once killed a deer on May field's Mountain with a rock, over took and dispatched a black bear with an axe, and caught and ham strung a ferocious bull. A NEGaEsS TURNING WHITE.-i Sarah Pierce, a dissolute woman, who was committed to the House< of Correction; at Phbiladelphia, a few days ago is attracting much attention from the fact that, be ing originally a dark mulatto,< she is turning white. Almost hert entire body is white, having thei appearance of the natural healthy skin of a white person. The up per part of her face and spots on her body remain as originally, nearly black. She says she began to turn white iu spots about six year8 ago. She is in good health and has never been sick.1 A century ago an American traveling in Egypt gathered some calla lily roots from the banks of the Nile and brought them to Philadelphia. One of the roots was presented to a Ohester Valley farmer, whose great-grandaugh ter still preserves the planta from the original roots of the Nile. During the winter just closed I twenty perfect white flowers grew on two of the roQta, The puzzle blocks originated i Philadelphia, where the blocks ofr houses are so much alike that a man is puzzled to know when he gets home. It is not the strange sights that we shall see in heaven that will so much delight us ; not the ghtter~ and the glory ; not the diamnonds i and topaz; no, it is God: He is i all and in all How Tivz PAsSEs IN PARIs. (ou may talk about the marvels if pneumatic clocks, the conve iience of monster omnibuses, the apidity of communication be ween one quarter of Paris and ,nother, but it is no use trying to how. that *the Parisians have o time to spare, and that they re never in a hurry. They have o much time that they don't now what to do with it. They -aste their time like a child wastes is gayety, or a rich man his gold. hey squander it looking at the tars in heaven, or the waters [owing under a bridge. Did ever ,ny one calculate the time spent iy the Parisian in reading hand- - iills and posters? When a dog iarks at a cat, when two spar ows make love to each other on roof, when the canary has es aped into the street, at once a rowd assembles, ninety.nine per ent. of which does not know vhat it is all about. The mar iage of a corner grocer with the laughter of the cheese-monger al aost excites a riot.; the psssage a coach-and-four causes grand xcitement; the Parisians will Land for hours wit-h their feet in he mud to see a procession which vill not pass until the next day, f it pass that way at all. The arisians are children who amuse hemselves by playing at business ike schoolboys who play at war. "he only difference is that they tave taken their amusement an erieux. If pneumatic clocks did iot existound if the day were on y four hours long, you may be ure that they would find time to - ilay dominoes and hang around he barch door to catch a glimpse if the bride.-Parisian. She had a pretty diploma tied vith a pink ribbon, from one 6f iur best young ladies' colleges. In :onversation with a daring and ourageous young man, after he iad detailed the dangers and do ights of riding on a locomotive, ,he completely upset his opinion f independent education of the exes, by inquiring "How do they teer locomotives anyhow?" Happiness is like manna, Tt is. o be gathered in the grains, and njoyed every day; ic will not eep; it cannot be accumulated ; or need we go out of ourselv'es, or into remrote places to gather t, since it has rained down from ieaven, at our very doors, or rath ~r within them. We cannot remove social evils ior relieve great social wants by 5he very methods that have rought these upon us. Commu iities, like individuals, must obey he laws which God has written n our nature. Society must care irEt and last for its own moral ~ondition. No righteous man would, in his ight mind, be willing to make an ~xchange of his smartest afflic ~ions for a wicked man's prosper ty, with all the circumstances at ~ending. It cannot, therefore, be ad with~ the righteous in the vorst condition. Enjoy the blessmng of this day, tGod scnds them; and the evils ear patietitly. For this day only sours, we are dead to yesterday, nd we are not born to to-morrow Let it be our business less to ight or even to expose error, or o criticise fault, than to disclose ~nd manifest verity and right, and ~o be the evolution we preach. Truth is tbe most powerful ~hing in the world, since fiction ~an only please us ty its resem Mlanee to-it. SEvery man throws on to his nirroundings the sunshine or the - ~hadow. t1at exists in his own We mount ~rostly on - he ruins of oI3der ihemes, inding our -failures were succes iors. Hope is like the wgus of an an ~e,soaring up to heaveiaand bear-. ng our prayers to the trenoe ot eod.
