VIRTUE'S FAME.
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 !'

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.
