Like a quiv'ering, crystal bubble, Floating on the summer's air, Is a maiden's fame for virtue, Jewel of all jeweis rare. But a breath-and gone the bubble, Never more to be the same; But a whispered word of scandal Gone the maiden's spotless fame. False may be the direful rumor; Pure in heart may be the maid; But a heartless world will whisper, And the forfeit must be paid. WILD GRAPES. -0 'Such a quantity of thom,' said ho Widow Winton, 'and doing obody any good!' The golden September sunshine as steeping all the -upiands in -ellow brightness ; the avant ouriers of the corring frost bad ouehed the maples and sumacs ,ith fiery red, and the wild grapes n the woois came freighting the ir with sweetness. Such wild rapes,too-great, blooming masses f purple, outlined against their 'ank, green leaves, as if some en ;hanted band had bung all the orest aisles with glistening pond outs of amethyst. 'The jelly they would make !' iaid the Widow Winton, shading ier large black eyes with one iand, as she looked up where the 7iincs had garlanded a copse of ,edar trees. 'And the preserves ! Ind the price they would bring t market ! 1 really do think ,hat when I rented the Glen Cot age, I ought to have had the )rivilege of these woods into the )argain more especially as Mr. Esselmont is in. Europe, and the rapes is doing nobody any good.' And the Widow Winton drew a Leep sigh, as the wind wafted a :esh gust of fragrance toward her -the sweet, indescribable aroma f ripening grapes in the crucible )autumn sunshine. The Widow Wmnton, be it un erstood, was no angular matron r wrinkled old beldame, but a osy little personage of two or bree-aud-twen ty, with laughing loe-black eyes, long-lashed and lmod-shaped, a saucy, retrousse ose, and lips like a cleft rose-bud. ~nd as she stood there, with her impled hands interlaced above ~er eyes, a rebellious resolution >rmned itself in her heart. 'I will have them,' said the idow Winton ; 'as well me as be schoolboys and the sparrows. tud if I were to ask that crusty )ld agent, I know he'd refuse. so I hall omit the little ceremony. 'I send 'em into town, and i'll ake the money to get me -a new all hat, for mine has been posi. ~ively shabby ever since the cr-ape ot soaked thr-ough in that sum er shower, three weeks ago Sun. ay.' And the Widow~ Winton went ~ome to the little cottage on the ~dge of the wood, which had ne been a porter's lodge to the DEselmont estate, and told her sis er what she had determined up 'Fanny,' said Miss Charity Hall, wo was ten years older than the idow, and a good many degrees ~raver, 'pray don't think of such thing.' 'Why not ?' said Fanny. 'It would be stealing !' 'No, it wouldn't,' stoutly argued anny. 'There they hang, doing obody any good ; and it's a wick. ed. sinful shame I And Mr. Essel nont is in Paris, and that crose old crab of an agent sets up a. cry f one does but, breoak off a sprig f autumn leaves. No, Charity, here's no use ar-guing ; the grapei want and the grapes I'll have ! -1 wouldn't,' said Miss Charity 'I would,' said the Widow Win And she took down a little wicker basket, with a twisted andle and a double lid, and trip ped off. 'How are you going to reach hem ?' said Miss Charity. 'I shall climb,' said the widow -You ?' cried Miss Charity. 'Yes LI' nodded the widow. But she was yet engaged in ga thering the purple spoils that hung ripe and tempting, within he reach, when there was a cracklin; of dry leaves under foot, and tall young man, in a suit of dark colored cloth and Tyrolese hat stepped lightly into the fores glade. 'It's the new rector,' said th Widow Winton to herself. 'T< think that he should have blun dered along at this very time o all others! But I may as wel make the best of it.' And she turned around to greel the bewiidered new comer with r sweet smile and the utmost self poSSession. 'Will you have some grapes! said she, holding out the twisted wicker basket. 'I-I beg your pardon !' stam. mered the stranger ; 'but I must have mistaken my way. I sup posed these were the Esselmoni woods.' 'So they are,' said the widow 'and I am stealing the Esselmoni grapes-because, you see, I'VE rented the little cottage yonder and I really think the grapeE ought to go with the cottage don't you ?' 'Really,' said the stranger-thc Widow Winton bad perceived by this time that he was tall and straight., with pleasant hazel cyeE and a long, silky mustache. '] know so little about the property here-' 'Oh, of course not;' said the widow, sitting down on a faller tree, with her little black sill apron full of grapes. 'But I car tell you, Mr. Esselmont, who owns the property, is in Europe ; anc the agent is such a cross old fudg that one can't ask for so much a. a bunch of wild flowers-a regu lar crab you know!' opening hei bright eyes very wide to empha size the idea. 'How very disagreeable !' saic the stranger, who had taker a seat on the mossy log, besid< the widow, anid was eating grapet as if it were the most natura thing in the wor!d. 'So I just con cluded to help my seif,' said the widow. 'So I perceive,' said the hero o: the silky mustache. 'Wouldn't you, if you were it my place ?' said the widow. 'Certainly I would l' said" th< gentleman. 'And if you wvill al low me, I will help you to belj yourself.' 'But you haven't time,' said th< Widow Winton, dubiously. 'Ob, yes, I have !' said the stran ger-'plenty of time I assure you 1 was only crossing the woods t< call on the new rector, and-' The purple clusters of grapei slid to the ground, as the Widon Winton started up in amazemen and dismay. 'Oh, dear !' erid she ; '1 though you were the new rector !' Thbe stranger laughed. 'Do I look so very clerical ? said be. 'Then you are the agent's sor from Canada!l',said she. 'Oh, dear oh, dear!I And I've been calline your father a crab, andjall sorts o names. Oh, dear ! I beg you: pardon, I am sure, but all tb< same he is a crab!' 'Pray don't distress yourself, soothed the stranger. '1 am n< relation at all to Mr. Esselmont'i agent.' The Widow Winton brightene< up a little at this. 'I aml thankful for that,' sai< she. 'And now, if you will belj me with the grapes, we can ge them all gathered before the agent comes this way on his after noon walk. Can you climb ?' 'I should rather think I could, promptly answered the gentle man. The widow clapped her plum) little bands in delight, as tb huge bunches rained down int her apron. 'There,' cried she, 'that' enoughb!' 'Are you quite sure ?' 'Oh, quite,' said the widow-'fo jelly, and marmalade, and to sem] a lot to townr to buy my new bon net-strings.' The stranger sprang lightly t< the ground, from the boughs of: saelv hne-h tree. : hen it's all right.,' said he. 'And we've outgeneraled Mr. r Esselmont and his cross old agent, after all.' 'Haven't we ?' said the Widow Winton, with her black eves all dancing with miseniet. 'And now, if you'll come home with me, I'll give you a cup of real French I chocolate, and a slice of sponge cake.' '1 shall be very happy to carry your basket for you,' said the stranger, courteously. 'There he is now,' said the widow, recoiling a little, as they neared the tiay cottage. with its drooping caves and pillared veran da. Who ?' said the g" ntlenan. 'The agent,' said the Widow Winton. 'He can'% hurt us,' said the stranger. And he walked boldly into the very presence of Mr. Sandy Mac-' pherson, with the basket of plun dered grapes on his arm ; w hile tbe widow followed, much marveling at his valor. But, instead of bursting out into invective, the agent sprang to his feet. and began bowing and scrap ing most obsequiously. lReally, sir-really, Mr. E>sel mont,' said he, 'this is a pleasure that I didn't expect.' 1Mr.-Esselmont l' cried out the widow. 'I beg a thousand pardons for not disclosing my identity before !' said the handsome 'Jncognito. 'But you've no idea how I have enjoyed this masquerade. Will you allow me to introduce myself formally at last ?' The Widow Winton turned crimson and pale. 'But I've been stealing your - grapes,' said she. 'Every fruit and flower on the Esselmont estates is at your ser vice,' said the young heir, with a bow and a smile. But when he went away, Miss Charity took her younger sister formally to task. 'Fanny,' said she, 'aren't you ashamed ?' 'Not a bit,' said Fanny, valiant ly. 'Stealing fruit like a schoolboy, and romping like a child,' re mon strated Charity. 'If Mr. Esselmiont don't mind it,' said the widow, 'why should I? And we're going to the haunted springs to-morrow, and I shall show him the rocky glen. Oh, I can tell you, Charity, it's great fun!' -But, as time crep)t on, Miss Charity ilall grew more uneasy still. 'Fanny,' said she, 'you must leave off flirting with Guy Essel mo,t !' 'Why ?' said the widow. 'Because you are poor and he is rich ; and people are beginning to talk.' 'Let 'em talk,' said Fanny. 'We are to be married next month, and then we can set the whole world at defiance ; and, Charity-' hiding her face on the elder sis ter's shoulder. r'Well ?' 'He says lhe fell in love with me that day he caught me stealing his grapes !' 'Huimph !' said Miss Charity. 'Well, you've stolen his heart, so I don't see but that you're quits !'

IHistlntous. FORFEITS FOR FUN. In the evening games of winter gatherings of young people. and older ones too, it often becomes necessary to punish some one, or more, of the com pany by imposing a -Forfeit.' The penance should be something that either is not easy to follow out to the letter-that is. has some catch in it or puts the person in a conspicuous and amusing light. In all cases a for feit should be designed to amuse the company as a whole, and never to offend the person called upon to pay it. In order to illustrate our idea of a good forfeit, and also to furnish suggestions to those who enjoy and take part in such pleasant amuse ments, we give a few of the forfeits that may be imposed. (1) Put a newspaper upon the floor in such a way that two persons can stand on it and not be able to touch each other with their hands. This forfeit has the honor of being old, but it was not our good fortune to meet it until a short time ago, and was forced to 'give it up.' By putting the paper in a doorway, one-half inside and the other outside the room, and closing the door over it the two persons can easily stand upon it and still be beyond each others reach. (2) To go out of the room with two legs, and come in with six. Not difficult if one thinks to bring a chair along on the return (3) To act the Dumb Servant. The per son who has the forfeit to pay must act out the answers to the questions put by the master of the ceremonies; as, How do you make bread ? How do you eat soup? etc. This forfeit will cause much merriment if proper ques tions are put. (4) Put one band where the other can not touch it. One can get out of this difficulty by put ting one hand on the elbow of the other arm. (5) Place a pencil on the floor so that one can not jamp over it. May be done by putting it close to the wall of the room. [6] Put a question that no one can answer with a NO ! This is not hard if one thinks to ask. What does Y E S spell ? [7] Push a chair through a finger ring. This forfeit is made by putting the ring on the finger and pushing the ebair-any otherC object will do as well-with the finger. This last much resembles the next. [8] Put yourself through a key-hole. Trhis was a great puzzle to us for a while but when a piece of paper was taken with the word 'yourself' written upon it, and pushed through the hole, it was all clear. There are many other of these amusing little tricks, but these given will suggest others, and help to wake the social winter gather ing the enjoyable times that they should .be.-Amnerican As. -culturist. A BLOODTHIRSTY MANDARIN.-A tale of peculiar horror comes from the Swatow Quarters. The military man darin for the Kit Tang district, Png Tye jen, who will be remem bered as the mandarin who gave the order for the comipradore Ah Pac to lose his head has been distinguishing himself in thoroughly Chinese fashion Some small official, who held the po sition of tax-collector, had been aiur dered by the people, who, exasperated probably by his eternal and extensive squeezes, considered taking the law into their own bands to be the only way of getting rid of him. For this daring outrage against law and order. Pung Tye-jen undertook to infliet punishment upon the residents, and did so with a completeness we rarely ee equaled. He first secured the services of a gunboat to protect or cover his retreat, the place where the inhabitants had done as we have stated being within reach of the guns of a man-of-war. The place was then besieged, and the soldiers killed some thing like 700, it is said, of the peo. ple who were supposed to have taken part in the uprising against authority and had caused the death of this petty official. The number of those destroycd by the avenging army of Pung Tye-jen is variously estimated from 4030 to the figure above stated. Surely an ample satisfaction to even a mandarin of the bloodthirsty charac te which this man has acquired. (Chin~a fail. 'ridet, the dust upon the furni ture is intolerable. What shall I do ?'
