might remain in the ladies' waiting

A sudden thought flashed into mr

weeks before, announcing my approach

matrimony and destruction.

The Harsh Look.
BY MART A. DSNJ89N.
'Maggie, Maggie, how could you ?'
'Why ? what huve I done but look at
the child V
'But, Maggie, you looked at her to
harshly !'
'Well, aud if I did?is she too good
to be looked at ?'
'Oh ! but Maggie, she is an orphan.'
Maggie Lilburn tossed her bend light
ly, affecting disdain at her sister's tietnb
ling lips, but, nevertheless, the word)
and the teurful glauoe sunk deep into
her heart.
In a chambor, richly furn'shed, two
little beds stood side by side. Both
were dainti'y shaped?furnished with
soft linen aud delicate netting like lace
Refinement floated in tho air above
them?hung in every fold of drapery
about them?touched the raro adornings
of the room?laid in each dimplo of the
rounded cheeks?in each careless curl
of hair, threading its golden way over
the pillow.
There were two of them?two sweet
darling little girls, one in each soft bud;
but one was ruddy and healthy, the
? ther pale and more slightly farmed
They slept the beautiful sleep of infancy;
but, beneath th? rashes of one were
traces of tears, and the infantile lips
curved downward slightly, ae with grief
It was very silent there; and, in the
silence, soon a step sounded. Mary
Lilburn, a g<-utlc, graceful creature,
came fiof ly in, aud, pausing, Loked at
the children. She ?kis^ed the brow of
the rosiest sluinbcror ; but utrer the other
folded her hand:;, us if with a benedic
tinn. and gazed with a long, yearning
glauco.
?I'o r, dear, sw:et little dirling!' she
murtr.ured, at la>t : 'h.w can any one
sj.eak h ir.-hly, or give otiu Cold glu:: _
to so gentle a child ! Poor sw.'ct litt'c
orphan! (iod bless you !' and she bent
over and ki.tscd her sweet lips, lingering
long ou the fair face they pressed, aud
then she went to her own room.
She had scarcely gone before another
step souudel along the chamber; and
Maggie, the young, healthful, happy
mother, came forward. Aishestoid
there, a shad j of regret stole over her
beautiful face, and she sighed,'I sup
pose I haven't got the patience I ought
to have with her. poor orphan !' but she
kissed mi her of tho children.
It was the dead of night, and Maggie
Lilburn, worshiped wile, happy mother,
tossed restlessly upon her luxuriant
couch. She had nut yet slept. A little
figure, looking mournfully out o!' dark
eyes, hauuted her. Occasionally she
heard a short, quick nob coming from
the dim corner iu which were outline 1
the beds of the two sweet children. At
iu>t the great olock of tho city struck
I welve, aud Maggie had fouud inn bo >n
lor uature craved?she slept. Slept,
bu: uot in peace ? uot iu quiet. Her
head turned uneasily, her hands moved,
the lips quivered, ai:d sobbing .Mgbs and
tears attested a troubled dream.
Still deepened the quiet gloom, aud
larger grew the shadows iu the ohamhur.
The babes were moved away ; footstept
au i whispering voices disturbed th*
silence. A sombre man, dressed in
bluck, bent over the bod whereou 1 y
Maggia Lilburn. A gentleman, much
younger, stood further back, giving
passionate way to some strong grief. He
was half hidden by the pale bluo hang
ings of the bed. Mary, pale as marble
? her beautiful white face au awful
sternness in its anguish : the result of
btrife lor self composure?knelt, claspii-g
one hand of tho sufferer in her own. A
servant crouched in the diatiu.ei, hidiog
her face, and woeping in silence. O i
the bed lay Maggie, the young wifo aud
mother, uo longer rcstle s, but white,
faint, and still. Her blue eyes wistfully
wandered from face to fuco;audthe
lips, so beautiful in repose, were dis
torted in her vain efforts to apeak. At
last the oyea dosed, the lipa were atill.
?She slept, lightly, gently ; it was, alas !
the sleep that precedes death.
'She will be able to apeak when ahu
awakes/ whispered the doctor.
His words were true. The dying
mother awoke with renewed strength?a
sudden meteoiio biillianoy that flashed
the premonition of dissolution.
'Husband ! Mary I' she said, slowly ;
her eyes waudered from them and her
white, lips muimured, 'My child ! my
little Maggie 1'
They brought tho little girl, who wept
because hor mother was pale.
'This is the bitterest cup !' said the
dying woman. 'Oh ! Mary?oh ! my
husband, how cau I leave Maggio 7 Oh !
this hard 'kwor!d?this cold, cruel world
?how can 1 leave Maggie ?'
'Sho shall be as my own,' whispered
Mary, the tears raining down her
cheeks; 'she shall be loved as you would
love her; cured ior as tenderly. Gol
will give me strength and patience.'
Her voice failed her, (she could only
weep.
Quietly lay the mother?her life eb
biog out?a troubled expression gather
ing, and deepening upon her face. Aga n
she essayed to speak. She turned her
dim eyes toward her sister ; her lips were
'quivering; the last tears drained from
the fount of lilc, as she said, with a
touching manner of sell-rebuke, and so
solemuly.
'Mary, you won't look harshly at my
poor orphan V
'God helping me, never !' cried Mary
Her voice seemed to ring with super
natural distinctness through the
chamber.
The dying woman struggled fearfully,
und?awoke!
Springing up in her bed, she clasped
her hands together in an ecstasy ot joy
The gray dawn crept through the shut
tors, paling the light of the dim lamp.
'Living ! living !' Bhe cried, 'my .child
is not motherless! And oh ! my hoavea
ly Father, help me to proGt by the
vision Thou hast sent. Aid me to re
member at all times, that she Tkou hast
mi trusted to my care is motherless. That
just as 1 have, the beiwg who gave her
birth, longed for h.-r happinass, wept
for her, prayed for her. Never, never
will I forget. Thou who art the GoJ of
the fatherless, aid me iu doing my duty
by my Ms'er'a orphan child.'
Stepping a .fil\ to the crib, she light
kij-.-ed the brow of the tu< thorlcss little
one. Tho chill awoke, and flung its
arms round her n ck. and in that silent
embrace, Maggie asked God again 'o ai l
her, that shs might know uo difference
b-.'tweon her babe and the little charge
He had given in her protection.
A Standing Treat
The Chicago Post says no American
custom causes more genuine surprise and
amusement among traveling foreigners
than that which i.s known in our saloons
as "treating," consisting iu the enter
tainment of two more with refreshment
for which one volunteers to pay. It is
a pure Americanism ; und all over the
Kt-public it is as common as in Europe
it is unknown There is probably no
minute or any day in the ye*r when two
or three hundred citizens of Chicago are
not guzzling 6omethiug stronger than
watwr at somebody else's c xpense.
The casuil meeting of two men who
have never exchanged a word together
is u signal for both instantly to exclaim,
''Come, let's have sotnethiug !" and for
both to drive down into the nearest
subieranean cavity below the sidewalk.
The one who spoke first usually insist-,
upou "paying the shot," tho word '"shot"
being a metaphorical refercuce to the
deadly character of tho contents usually
taken into the stomach. If two old
friends tuc?t, the regular thing to say
first is, "Let's drink to old times; ' and
the resident must invariably "treat" the
strungor. If a man be well .acquainted,
it is considered the geoeorous and
princely things to beize upon all hi*
acquaintances as often as possible, take
them to a saloon and give them a coin
plicated stand up drink at the bar.
If there is any thit)g~absurder than
this habit, we are unable to put our
finger on it. Moo do not always "treat"
i one another to car tickets because they
happen to meet on the same seat. We
j never saw a man take out his pocket
book ou encountering an acquaintance,
and say, "Ah, George ! Delighted to sec
you ! Do you take a postage stumps '(
It's my treat!" Do men have a tuauia
fur paying each other's aboard bills t
And Js drinking together more "social"
than eating together er sleeping
together?
A traveler may go all over the con
tinents of Europe, of Asia and Africa,
without gseeiog any roan, except a Yan
kee, offer to "treat," and the Frenchmen
are cju''?j ^social enough, but when they
turn ."to a cafe to rip their wine or
brandieu coffee together, each man pays
for his own. "When two Germans, long
separated, meet, they will be very likely
to embrace, and then to turn into an
adjacent beer cellar, sit down and drink
I gor and eat pretzels and chat, but
when they part again, each man settles
his own score independently.
So in Italy. The Italians are pro
verbially merry sud generous, but every
mau nays for his own wine, macaroni
and cigars. They never go into each
other's pocket books in the sacred name
of friendship. They would as soon'think
of transfering to each other their washer
woman's bills.
The preposterous fashion of "treating"
is responsible for the terrific drunken
ness in America. There would be as
little need of temperance societies and
little work for the Good Templars as
thtre is in Germany, France and Italy,
if this pernicious and insidious habit
was abolished. It is, take it all iu all,
the most ridiculous, the most unreason
able and the most pestilent custom that
ever laid its tyrannical haud on civilized
human being*.
A Hocking Stone.
In many parts of the world are found
huge stones or rocks so poised on a nar
r w base that they rock to and fro un
der slight moving force. Sometimes
the rocking or "logging" is caused by
the wind only, without direct human
coutact, but generally ra'iscuhir or me
chanical fores has to be applied. One
of the most familiar examples is the
Logan or Logging Rock, in Cornwall,
near the promoutory of Castly Treyn.
The stone, which attracU numerous
visitors, is between sixty anl soveuty
tons' weight, and so nicely poised that
a pcrsou cau easily set it iu motion. Dr.
Corlaso. the Cornish antiquary, fully
described tho rock, adding that it was
"morally impossible that any lever, or
indeed force, however applied in a nie
chaniral way. could remoTe it." This
statement was put to the test by a young
? o.T.r^r of the navy, Lieutenant Gold
smith, said to be a grand ajphew of
Oliver Goldsmith lie was in con
mnnd of a cutter in the neighborhood,
and with tea or twele of his men threw
the rock off its bu'ance and sent it rol
ling toward the sea, where it would
have been lost but that a chasm inter
cepted it. The exploit justly gave great
offence to the neighborhood, and tho
mischievous prank being reported to the
Admirality, the young officer was com
pelled to replace the rock. This was
uot done without much labor and exor
tion. and the aid of machinery from the
dockyard at Plymouth. Sir Davis Gil
beit and others subscribed for the fund
necessary to restore the rock to its site
and the lieutenant to the good books at
headquarters. For some time afterward
chains and other protections were used,
but these have been long since removed.
The stoue, however, does not "log" so
well as it did previous to its overth'ow.
A Feeling Tribute to the "Pub.
Docs."

his mind on a subject familiar to ail
uewspapcr offices, the inevitable Pub.
Dec. :
We owe "our thanks to Judge K-dley
for the latest Patent Office reports. We
already have sixteen hundred of these
interesting volumes in our little library,
but they have been read aud re-read so
many times, that we know every page
of them by heart. This naw volume
camo opportunely and gratefully on
Christmas morning, and that night wo
gathered oor little family around the
fire and read it through to them. Th<9
affectiug tale entitled "Improvement iu
Monkey Wrench" seemed to touch every
heart, aud when we came to the climax
of the H?ls story about "lievisable
Pieboardi*," thore was not a dry eye be
tween tue front door and the stable
During the reading of the piteous nar
rative entitled "Gum Washers for Car
riage Axles" the family gave expression
to boisterous emotion, aud the hired girl
was so much excited that she lost her
presence of mind and went arouni to
her mother's inadvertently with six
pounds *of sugar and a butter fcetJe full
of flour, and came home at midnight
intoxicated. We can nover sufficiently
thank Judge Kelly for the innocent en
joyment thus furnished us. The memory
of that happy evening will linger on oar
minds very much longer than that hired
girl aver lingers when she lights on a
lot of substance which sho thinks will
suit the constitution of her aged parent.
"Beware of YMdert*
A Connecticut Romeo has recently
indulged costly luxury of suing}hit
Juliet for the recovery of his withered
affect ions and damages in vulgar curren
cy. The suitor alleeged that the fair
widow (you ser he forgot what the elder
Weiler said) had cost him something
like $0000. Could anything have been
more aggravating than this? Piotnre
the awful cruelty of that pretty widdow
at whoso feet the unhappy swain laid hie
homage, and for whose deloctation and
capture he cxpened the sum beforomsB*
tionod. Fancy, it you can, the emotion
with which Romeo heard the verdict
which was in favor of the captivating de
fendant. The barbarous jury doomed
the unhapyy lover to pay costs, so that
his lovemikiug has cost him the hand
sotue of 81,000, to say nothing of his
blighted heart and smashed up happiness
Iu repeating this dismal story, we beg
leave to remind our readers of the advice
to "Sammy" by his sagacious parent;
