THE ARBUTUS, Arbute, blossom of the May, . Thou and the wind together Make, whatever, the almanac* say, The spirit's brightest weather, When youth is gone and fancy flown. When thought doth little and dwells alone The blooming foot-paths open a way To many a long past holiday. Though youth be flown and fancy gone, The mind's sweet memories may live on. Only let the south wind blow, t Thou and the South together; For thou and the balmy south wind make The spirit's brightest weather. ?James Herbert Morse, in the Century DRIVEN TO MARRIAGE. > " HA.T Hugh Colewooc t ought to bo the hap pieat man in Green ville was everybody': He was young handsome and wel educated ; then, just a he was preparing t< tight his way to fam with poverty arraye< against him, he ha< suddenly been mad the sole heir to th fine old estate of hi eccentric aunt, Miss Iletsy Colewood, re . ceutly deceased. What more was necessary to the happiness of a gay young fellow like Hugh Colewood? Nothing, it seemed to th< y~~ s. envious bachelors. However, there were conditions, 01 one, at least, in his aunt's will which caused him no little uneasiness. He musl love and marry the girl of her choce,one whom he had never even seen. Hugh Colewood caught up his aunt's last letter to him and read it again aucl again,hopiug to find some little loophole of escape from the galling condition. But it was there in merciless black and white. This is the part that worried him: 4llf you cannot comply with my wishes for you to meet Ethel Wayne -md love aud marry her you forfeit your heirship to my estate. Ethel's mother was my dearest frieud, and if you marry hci daughter it will be fulfilling my fondest desires. You cannot help loving her. "I could not rest ia iny tomb peacefully and know that Ethel was not mistress of my estates, and you, dear boy, the master. My lawyer, Mr. Cranston, will arrauge for you to meet Ethel, as ht ? is one of her guardians. You know how thoroughly I despise old bachelors,therefore, 1 give you warning that I will not anow you to iubabit ray houses ami lands as one of that disagreeable, crusty order." So had written the eccentric spinster. Hugh nibbled the ends of his mustache impatiently as he pondered on the conditions which the will imposed. Hugh loved the Colewood estates, and. could not bear to think of giving them up. Now, if the will had not specified whom he must marry, but left the selection of a wife entirely to himself, liitgh : in v. J t hat ho would have enjoyed the I, i:I my late'aunt > will] Mr. Cranston?" Light at once dawned upon the lawyer and there was a twinkle in his ayes. However, he asked indifferently: low nut peculiar ieaiure uo you reier, Mr. Colo wood?" "The oue that absurdly commands me to marry a gnl that I have never seeu." "Oh, that I" returned Mr. Cranston. "You arc a lucky fellow, Cole wood, That's the best part of the fortune." itie'* eU? moot exasperating part,' Hugh cried desperately. "How can i fellow love and wed to order?" "Well, it's a deal of time and bother saved to the wooer," remarked the law yer, pulling. "I have uo doubt Ethel Wayue will suit you better than auy selection you are capable of making." Hugh Colewood hushed warmly at the lawyer's cool observation and lie spoke hotly. "I'm sure she won't suit me,sir. The estate can go to charity for all I care. I don't love any woman and I love my free dom too well to nrarry yet awhile. 1 don't want to be thrust ou auy woman tor tile sake of a fortune, nnrl T itnn'l suppose Mi-s Wayne carer two straws about the absurd conditions in my aunt's will." "It is very likely, although Ethel had the greatest respect for the late Miss Colewood, and was very careful to humor all her vagaries," returue I Cranston, much amused over young Colewood's ex citeimmt. "However, I hardly feel able to state whether the girl would accept Miss Colewood's last great vagary in the shape of her impulsive nephew or not." "1 shall not give her the opportunity," aid Hugh, nettled at the lawyer's words. "Hold on, Colewood. Let's drop nonseuse and come to business. You tike your auut's estates, but you cannot tetain them without complying with her wishes. You hive never met the girl whom your aunt has chosen.

Whut do you say?" "I will do as you alvi9e: thank you, sir," replied Hugh, who had now cooled oil and was trying to take a business view of the strange situation. Four weeks later Hugh Colewood wa* ' ' ? u t' > <? fvi f ' r ? <? r? ?? ' ' * 4 l? o morning express, bound for a little town i nong the blue hills of Virginia. When he stepped from the train he was disappointed to find no one waiting io convey him to the cjuntry home ot Mr. Cranston's sister, a distance of eight niles. He was in the act of asking the way o the "best hotel wlien a ouggy came tapidly up to the station and halted. The station agent hurried forward to meet the driver, who was a slender *oung girl, with bright dark eyes and .> ?ir as golden as the June sunbeam* | touchiog those hills. "Is Mr. Cole wood of Greenville waiting here to ride out to Mrs. Thurston's?" inquired the fair driver in a sweet voice which won Hugh's interest at once. "I am here and waiting, thank you,' returned Hugh for himself,smiling pleasantly as he came forward on the station platform. 'T came to drive you to "Mrs. Thurstou's," she answered simply. "Shall I take the reins?" he asked, as they started away. "No, thank you; I like to drive," she answered. "It was too bad for you to take so long a drive for a stranger," he remarked, as he stole a side glance of admiration at the girlish form in dainty blue. "Ob, I don't mind the distance at all: besides, I rather had to come," she rey plied. "I did wish to go with the youug folks, who are having a pic iic this morning over ou Laurel Hill, but Uncle Jerry was sick,and of course he couldn't come for you." "Then Mrs. Thurston and Miss Wayne I never drive, so they made a virtue of necessity aud sent the last resort of the } place," and she laughed merrily. "It i3 too bad my coming prevented j you joining the pic.knickers," ho said. "I shall not he able to forgive myself." "That's nothing. I am enjoying myself now too well to think of Laurel Hill," she returned brightlv. 9 nk L. ?J i in.ii rv yuu, IIUU 111 Hie 881116 tllllC let nic assure you that I, too, am eojoyiug myself excellently well," and Hugh bowed to the young girl, whose eyes j dropped beneath the warm light of admiration iu his blue one3. t "I hope you will enjoy your visit,Mr. Colewood," she said, to change the subject. "I know Mrs. Thurstou and Ethel | will do all they can to make your stay pleasant." j "Thank you; I've no doubt I shall find L it pleasant," returned Hugh. "You.too. are one of Mrs. Thurston's summer household, I suppose?" ,4Ye3," with a smile. "You see I am a distant relative to Mrs. Thurston; then Miss Wayne is my cousin and exercises a kind of cousinly guardianship over me, which no doubt is very necessary." "So you are Miss Wuyuc's cousiu? I do not remember hearing Mr. Cranston mention you. I did not expect to have the pleasure of meeting any ladies but Mrs. Thurston and Miss Wayne." "IIow unkind in Mr. Cranston not to prepare you for this meeting'" and there was a roguish gleam in her eyes which Hugh did uot see. "I had up to date regarded Mr. Cranston as one of my veiy ' best friends, but to ignore me so utterly, when he knew I would accompany Cousin Ethel here, looks Mke downright ' intentional neglect." "You have not given mc the pleasure of knowing your uame," said Hugh,both anui-c I and pleased with his unitev ilri. ^? l"u-v "" ver. "Oil, I'm a Wayne,too," she answered lauji hiaul v. "Ethel Estella Wayne, variously nicknamed, as you will ooservo later on." TwoJ-ithel Waynes I Here was a rpfcl surprise for Colewood. Why had CrrfTOtou normieutioned that strange fac^^ I linny Yea.^ugh aided that. shft iras just such a womfin as hiseceentnitSifilt wmld I lie likely to select as the wife * her heir. I In the weeks which folio we I Hugh's arrival he saw a great deal of Miss Wayne, although much of her time was divided between her taste for literature and in remonstrating against the innocent pranks of her cousin. It. did not re.miro n Ion,, li.no f?r I young man to realize tli;\t he could never love Miss Wayne as the mau should love the girl whooi he intends to marry. . He made another important discovery ?that his life would be a failure without the little cousin to furnish daily sunshine and wifely cheer for his own home. He resolved to let Miss Wayne have one-halt of his aunt's estates and tho orphan asylum the other. He would marry the girl of his own choice, provided he could win her, and boldly tight his o.vn way through life. Having so decided Hugh set out for a stroll along the liver, feeling more manly for his resolve. He came suddenly upon a little figure in white, reading, iu a little viney nook by the river's side. "Wait, Estelle," lie called, for she had started to run away. "I shall leave tomorrow. and I have something to say to you which you must hear." The telltale tlmh which swept ovei face and neck at his words might have given some hint of an easy surrender. However, in a moment she had regained that customary piquancy which had more Mian once exasperated Hugh. "I'd lie sorry to have you leave us with any burden 011 your mind," shs said, provokiugly. "It is needless f- r me to toll you why it was arranged for me to meet Miss Wayne here," lie said, unheeding her light wolds. "Vou know, I suppose." "Some slight idea, I believe," she re turned, fingering her hook. "Well, 1 may as well tell you that that condition in my late aunt's will can never be fulfilled." "And why not?" "Because I live another," he cried, passionately. "Oh, Estelle,c*n you not see how tenderly, how ardently I love you? Without you I shall make a failure ol life. Won't you show mercy, Estelle?" "Oh, Hugh! would you marry a poor girl when you have a chance to win a dignified bride and retain those princely estate^?" she asked. "Yes, darling. I prefer you with love in a cottage to the wealthiest woman ivilli ii|| till! esmt" hi Ihn uv.rlil 1" "Hash statement, young man." "It is true. 0 > not torture ine longer, Kstclle. Cau you not lovo 100 a lit tier' No." "Then you do not love me?" 'Tin afraid I do." "Do not mock me, Estelle." "I am not mocking you, Hugh," in a veiy sweet voice. " Then you do love me a little?" "No, not a little, but very much." He would have caught her to his breast, but sl?f eluded his arms, crying: "Oh. there's Uncle CranstonJ" and he rushed forward to greet the little lawyer, who had approached them unseen. "It is useless for me to ignore facta," sai l Mr. Cranston, pleasantly. "I did not meau to ovorhear your conversation, but I arrived unexpectedly and thought I'd hunt up my spirits here and surprise her. I see you understand each other pretty clearly." "Yes, sir," said Hugh, bravely; "I have decided to enjoy love in a cottage with thi9 dear girl rather than keep the estate with Miss Wayne." "Love in l| cottage! Oh, that's to^ Kood 1" And Mr. Cranston broke into a hearty laugh, in which the girl finally joined him. "Will VOU have thn ernnlnaaa explain wbat amuses jou so much in my Statement?" asked Hugh, not a little uettled. ''Pardon me, Colewood. But really yon are the victim of your own blunder?" ''Blunder? I dou't understand you, (sir?" returned Hugh. > "Of course not," and the lawyer [laughed again. "This spirit, whom you took to be the unimportant little cousin, Hs in reality the Ethel Wayne referred to n your aunt's will. I did not tell you that there were two Ethels, so while she was driving you over here you jumped o the conclusion that Miss Wayno at the Uouse was the Ethel. "You see I have been told all about ( our amusing mistake. Ethel would not explain her real identity with the girl whom your aunt had selected for you, Mid, as the other ladies believed you kuow, you have remained the victim of your own mistake." Six months later the condition in Miss Coleman's will was cheerfully obeyed.?*' Boston Olobo. A Kamrari Through the Brain. An Australian journal gives the following case, which is uearly as remarkable as the crowbar accident to Mr. Phineas Gage: "Robert Campbell, a young man connected with the Postal Department, was admitted to the Melbourne Hospital with a pistol ramrod through his brain. The story of the accident is that Camp- . bell was out shooting with a muzzleloading pistol. While he was ramming home the charge the weapon exploded, and the ramrod, which was composed of fencing wire, with a lead plug at the end, made by tho victim, was sent through his cheek across the eye and came out at the top of his head. Dr. Harris stated that when the man was admitted to the hospital it was found that the ramrod had passed through his cheek, on the left side of the nose, into the infraorbital plate of the sunerior maxilla, right through the eye, going in its course through the superior orbital plate of the frontal bone, the brain, and, coming out at the top of the skull,about' tho middle of the internal portion of the parietal bono. The wire portion of the ramrod was sticking out of tho skull about six inches. "Dr. Charles Ryan, assisted by Dr. Harris, trephined the skull, having ttrst cut oil the wire.

'Madam, She am I." There are strauge chamber-maids at Sheapherd's Hotel 111 Cairo, Egypt. A lady declares that the one who waited on her room aii^l attended to all the duties of the calling, even to malting the Feds, was a Frenchman, dressed as if for a dinner party, with white waistcoat and dress coat, and having the air of a retined and educated gentleman. It was really embarrassing to accept bis services in such a capacity. One lady, on arriving at the hotel, rang for the chamber-maid, and this gentleman presented himself. Supposing him to be the proprietor, at the very least, she said, "1 wish to see the chamber-maid." "Madam," said he poiitely, in the very best Englisu be could muMer, "Madam, she am 1}"<?

The counterpanes should be washed by themselves in abundance of white suds and thoroughly rinsed and ^ Mas^^Cfesjuaay be wrung with the hands - tightly, but they ate usually too heavy to wring through a wringer, and are not improved by the process. Some housekeepers prefer to have them taken from the last wringing and hung on the line to drip dry.
