LOVE'S COMPLETENESS.
Not the low. mysterious murmur,
flinging through tho forest deeps,
Not tho footsteps of tho summer
j Making green tho mountain stoops,
/ Not tho sound of childhood's laughter,
f Nor tho poot's silver tone,
With the plnudlts riuging after,
T'rom the palneo or the throuo,
Tlohl for us the tender sweetness
Of one chord of lovo's completeness.

aind the baby went away, and only tin
young lady and gentleman and lap-do;
remained, with Mr. John Ward in tie
background reconnoitering. Tin
young lady threw back her veil, dis
closing a pair of particularly brigh
brown eyes, hair to match, wavy am
glossy, a rosy little mouth, and an intensely
anxious expression of countc

vountr gentleman, indeed, with a eloul
siiul a mustache, and a pale and inter

M He was lifting a lingo trunk am
a fcuger bandbox, still red to tho root
* of his hair, when a little hand, daintil;
kidded, was held out, and the prettj
faco was looking up at him with th<
prettiest smile in tho world.
"I am very glad to see you, Mr
Ward. 1 have heard so much of yoi
from Kitty that T don't feci as if w
were strangers at all."
"You are very good to remembc

lavender glove as if it burned him
"Will you get into the gig? it's coh
here."
"Certainly; but first let. me mak

AViir?1, Air. Duval."

John all the while as if he were a 1 iv<

Duval followed with the young lady
the lap-dog and the bandbox, and too!
bis seat quite as a matter of course be
side her while John drove t hrough th
lonely road whistling "Speed th
How," and trying to appear ver;
much at ease and quite unconscious o
the animated conversation going 01
behind him. Now and then little Mis
Grant would lean over and ask him i
question, but John's answers were no
elaborato and talk all on one sido sooi
fags.
He had been silently whistling fo
upward of a quarter of an hour, wliei
they drovo through a wooden gate, U]
an avenue of orange hemlocks am
stopped beforo a tall, old-fashione
farm house, whose windows were a
ablaze with illumination.
At the sonnd of the wheels, the hal
door was thrown open and a brigh
face, framed in golden hair, dimple
and smiling ami rosy, peeped out. On
gla nee was sufficient, and with a shri
little shrink of delight, Aliss Kitt
was clasped in the arms of Aliss Hat

"My own ilenr, <lnrlinpr Flattie! Oh

an shrill tones of joy.
"Oh, Kitty, how nice it is to mce

"Yes, doesn't, it seem like an n/?e !
But come in; T expect yon are froez

"Let. me make you acquainted wit

to see her dear little white fingers go
L rattling over the keys to the merry
tune of "Speed the Flow," instead of
5 the dismal and dreadfully long fau'
tnsias Sister Kitty affected, and of
which he never could make head nor

^ darling, and so Kitty had rapturously
* said when she kissed that lady for the
thousandth time and showed her to
3 her chamber and, returning to the
I sitting room, found Brother John
1 there alone, looking thoughtfully into
the roaring, red fire.
3 "And I wish," cried Kitty, ecstati.
cally, "oh, how I do wish she was my

"And so do T, Kitty," said Brother
I John, starting up. "Good night."

delightfully warm and co/.y and llnttie

some one came in and stood beside lier,
but flattie never looked up.

y only get them off. It might be presumption,
it might bo folly, but he

Submarine Photography.
A short timo ago Louis Boutan
brought himself to tho knowledge of
sciontiflo naturalistB by undertaking
an exploring tour of tho Red Soft,
from which ho brought back a strango
and curious collection of ilsh and shells,
embracing several specimous entirely
unknown. Continuing his researches
on tho coast of France, Mr. Boutan assumed
a diver's costume in order to
observo at tho bottom of tho sea the'
metamorphoses of certain mollusks impossible
to cultivato in aquaria. He
was struck with the wonderful beauty
of submarino landscapes, and resolved
to photograph what ho could, .sinco a
simple description would Bovor too
much of an over vivid imagination. At
first ho worked in shallow wator with
a water tight apparatus, and tho clearness
of tho water allowed him sufficient
light to sensitize tho plates. But
proportionally as the water deepened
clearness diminished, and the motion
ot tho waves clouOect iiio prwh.
tho young scientist conceived the idea
of utilizing magnesium iiv*an apparatus
of his own invention. This apparatus
consists essentially in a barrel
filled with oxygen and surmounted by
a glass bell containing an alcohol lamp.
On tho flame of tho lamp, by means of
a mechanical contrivanco, powdered
maernesium is thrown, llaring as often
as a view is taken. The barrel is
pierced with holes' on tho lower side
in cnch manner that as tho oxygen diminishes
tho sea wator enters, so preserving
tho equilibrium between external
and internal pressure. By the
aid of this machino ho has already
made groat progress in a direction new
to naturalists, and one likely to Conf
r permanent benefits in tho results
