It was a pretty piece, too, of rare combina? tion of two utterly dissimilar colors. It was narrow, not three-fourths of an inch wide, of a bright, light blue with pink rose buds dotted aC regular intervals along it. It was slightly mussed on both ends, "and in the centre were two pin holes. And that was what Archer Delevan was ca? ressing so fondly; the ribbon that still bore the traces of having been tied around Maude Leicester's white throat by her dainty fingers. He was the last person you would have selected from a crowd to be the man who had a romance; not that he was not handsome, for Archer Delevan was as splendid a specimen of mankind as woman could have desired; not that he was not full of courtly grace and dig? nified bearing, for he wore both those charms as- a prince of the blood royal might have done; but it was because there was a settled gloom and shade in his brown eyes, and a stern willfulness strongly marked around his lips? bare lips they were, and as perfect as Apollo's. There were very few people in this world but that Would have declared Mr. DeJsvan to be utterly demented, had they seen him that stormy wintry night, with all the world locked out from the warmth and magnificence of his bachelor chambers. It was certainly a very untoward thing for a man like Archer Delevan to do?a man who was as rich almost as fabled Croesns, who had but to ask them, to have any?perhaps all?of his fair friends.mil in his arms, and bless him for the opportunity he had given them of be? ing Archer Delevan'8 wife. But all his wealth, style, position and in? fluence would have weighed light in the scales against that tiny throatlet of pink-budded azure silk, and that was what he realized as he sat beside his marble-topped centre-table, with a dark, ?gloomy frown intensifying.in his eyes, and his whole frame trembling from the pas? sion of the kisses he poured on that perfumed toy. It was not so much of a romance after all, the story of that ribbon, only inasmuch as Mr. Delevan nursed and cherished it. Ten years back, when he had been moneyless and nameless, and altogether nobody, a girl of fifteen had laughingly given him, at his impas? sioned request, this strip of silk, warm from her shapely throat. He had only seen twenty-two years then, and had pleaded with ill his native eloquence for Maude Leicester's love; and she.had been so witchingly coy, vet not discouraging, as she laughingly gave him the love-token, and as? sured him it was of far more worth than her heart. % Suddenly the Leicesters vanished from un? der his very eyes, m& he was left with only his never-dying memory of the violet-eyed beauty, and this sole link. And to-night Archer Dele? van was yearning :Ebr her whom he worshipped with all his souL "Well^Maadei after a two years' siege,I have won the guerdon of victory. See L" Alma yerener held up her hand, where a cluster diamond ring sparkled in the morning sunlight that came streaming in the east bay window at Verener Villa. A pale shadow gathered around Mande Leicester's mouth, as she saw the engagement ring. "And I have been weak enough to dream of him all these long ten years." There was a malicious sparkle in Alma's blue eyes, as she listened to the weary-worded confession. "I told you Archer Delevan was not the man to remember such boyish folly." She did not say the words that might have given such gladness to his young heart; she did not think it worth her while to repeat what Archer Delevan had said to her when, in a quiet matter of fact way, he had asked her to be au wife. "I can offer you only a second love, Miss Verener," he said gravely: "a love that per? haps springs from the loneliness and disap Sointment I have ever experienced since I lost laude Leicester. If you think I am worth having, will you take me, and teach mo to for? get her?" Ah, wasn't he worth having, even though he had told her he hated her, but wanted her for an ornament to his splendid mansion ? So the triumphant girl had shown Maude Leicester her ring, but had not shown her what she might have done. Sh9 felt perfectly justified in not telling it; it was, in the first place, ,a lover's first confidence, and as such to be sacredly respected. Again, had she but hinted to Maude that Archer Delevan was still true, she knew she should lose not only her hired companion, but her husband, ad futurum, also. It had been a pitiful story, that of Maude Leicester, who had been compelled, through the wickedness of her father, to leave their na? tive city and bury herself in a new world where the laces were so Btrange, and there came never a breath of the dear old life back to her. She had taught an humble village school away out in Missouri for seven years of those ten; and then, when by chance?no, rather providence?her old-time friend Alma Verener had come upon her and offered her a home in her own house, Maude had gone, in feverish delight?not so much because she loved this friend, as of the vague hope she had of meeting the man she had loved so long and constantly. But when, in the guileless goodness of her heart, she had told Verener this, her one ro? mance, that lady had taken special pains that the two should not meet; and when a design? ing woman has set her whole heart on winning a man with whom her servant is in love,- you may depend upon it that luckless dependeut will not be allowed a fair chance. And Miss Verener had succeeded in winning Archer Deleyan for herself, and losing him to Maude Leicester, "I am perfectly aware how distasteful the allusion must be to you, Miss Verener, but I can hardly forbear to ask you if you really think Miss Leicester died West?" He was such a strange lover; and Alma Verener began to wonder whether, after all he would not break off the engagement from sheer queeruess. He was forever talking about Maude, since one unlucky day when she had casually mentioned she saw her in the West. But ifjhere were lies endless in number to be told, Alma Yerener could and would teil them to further her euds. "Dead, I'm quite sure, Mr. Delevan: else why is it I never hear from her, as she promised to write to me ?" "And when you saw her last she was well MUM UUUpj . "So I'should judge, from her gayety and good looks. The landlady said she was about to be married." "And you've never seen her since that time!" He did not make it a question, but rather an assertion. His ears were tinkling with that news?-"married I" And Miss Verener looked quietly up, with never a blanch of. the eyelids. "I have never seen her since." There followed a silence, and then she said : "Oh, by the by, I've a lovely bunch of ferns to show you, that were given me this morn? ing." She glided across the room, and from a glass saucer removed a bouquet of exquisitely dried ferns, and handed them to Mr. Delevan. "Heavens! where did it come from ?" For thev were tied with a piece of pink budded blue ribbon, and Mr. Delevan arose trembling at the sight of it. "Theferns? Senator Lovell's wife?" "No, the ribbon. Where did it come from ?" She looked up in surprise at his passionate tones. "I suppose when the parlor maid placed them here she had done it. Why ?" He laid down the ferns and walked over to the window.. Then he turned around and walked back. "Will you be so kind as to send the parlor maid here ?" His tones were still full of excitement, and Miss Verener wondered in dumb silence what ailed the man, as she rung for Jenette. "This gentleman wishes to see you/' she said frigidly to the girl. "Yes?who gave you this ?" He held the ribbon up. "Sure and there's no harm done, sir? It's only one of a box o' odds and ends Miss Maude give me this mornin'?" Archer Delevan interrupted her almost fiercely. "What Miss Maude? Where is Miss Maude ?" While Alma Verener clenched her hands in impotent rage; her case was hopeless she plainly saw. "And she's up the stairs in the sewin' room?" "Go tell her come down." "Miss Verener," and he turned to face her, "if as I suspect my lost love is an inmate of your house, I will only punish you for your duplicity by assuring you that Maude Leices? ter shall be my wife before the sun sets." Then, all unconscious of the glorious news awaitiug her, Maude entered the room, worn, pale, but as pretty as in those old days. She started, and felt tho scarlet blushes on her face. Archer Delevan sprang to meet her. "Oh, Maude!?vou'll not |reiuse me again when I ask you to be mine ? Maude, my own, my own forever!" Alma Verener never knew why that piece of ribbon betrayed her, or why, in the splendid parlor of Dell Evan, there was framed, in a costly golden frame, a simple lover's knot of this same blue ribbon. The Curse of Drink.?The appetite for strong drink in men has spoiled the life of more women?ruined more hopes for them, scattered more fortunes for them, brought to them more sorrow, shame and hardship?than any other evil that lives. The country numbers ten, nay, hundred of thousands of women who are widows to-day, and sit in hopeless weeds, because their husbands have been slain by strong drink. There are hundreds of thou? sands of homes scattered over the land in which women live lives of tortnre, going through all the chancres of suffering that lie between the extremes of fear and despair be? cause those whom they love, lovo wine better than they do the women they have sworn to love. There are women by thousands who dread to hear at the door the step that once filled them with pleasure, because that step has learned to reel under the influence of the seductive poison. There are women groaning with pain while we write these words, from bruises and brutalities inflicted by husbands made mad by drink. There can be no exaggeration in any state? ment in regard to this matter; because no hu? man imagination can create anything worse than the truth. The Borrows and horrors of a wife with a drunken husband are as near the realization of hell as can be reached in this world at least. The shame, the indignation, the sorrow, and the sense of disgrace for herself and children, the poverty, and not unfrequently the beggary; the iear and the fact of violence; the lingering, life-Ion^ struggle and despair of countless wo? men with drunken husbands, are enough to make all women curse wine, and engage unitedly to oppose it everywhere as the worst enemy of their ae^?Dr. Holland. The Slanderous Tongue.?The tongue of Blander is never tired. In one way or another it manages to keep itself in constant employ? ment. Some%nes it drips honey and some? times gall. It is bitter now and then sweet. It insinuates or assails directly, according to the circumstance. It will hide a curse under a smooth word, and administer poison in the phrase of love. Like death, it "loves a shining mark.'.' And it is never so available and elo? quent as when it can blight the hopes of the noble minded, soil the reputation of the puro, break down the character of the brave and the strong. What pleasure man or woman can find in such work, we have never been able to see. And yet there is a pleasure of some sort in it to multitudes, or they would not betake them? selves to it. Some passion of the soul or body must be gratified by it. But no soul in high estate can take delight in it. They often serve to polish tho slanderous tongue, increase its tact, and give it suppleness and strategy to do its death work. Marriage or Mutes.?The marriage of Mr. Haynes, of Raleigh, N. C, a deaf muto, to Miss Bunker, of Mt. Airy, also deaf and dumb, took place a few days ago in the latter town. Mr. Dudley, a teacher in the Deaf and Dumb Institute, accompanied Mr. Hayues on his trip for his bride. The minister read the usual marriage ceremony, which was interpreted by Mr. Dudley to the candidates. Tho responses were promptly made by signs, and everything was done in order. On the journey to Raleigh the bridal party came very near being drowned while crossing a swollen stream. The bridc groom, who never swam before, rescued his ride by swimming and carrying her in his arms a distance of several yards to the shore. Miss Bunker is the daughter of Eng, one of the Siamese twins. ?Gen. G. T. Beau regard was thrown from his horse while passing over the field of the Bull linn battle, near Manassas, recently, and so in? jured that he was compelled to take up quar lora iu the neighborhood. Gen. Beau regard was on a visit to a friend in the immediate Dcighborhood. The riilladelphi? Tragedy. Mr. Thomas Parker, who shot his wife in Philadelphia on Wednesday morning, and then blew his own brains out, killing himself in? stantly, was enjoying an income of $50,000. Thomas Brown Parker was the son of the late Isaac Brown Parker, who left an estate fully worth $3,000,000, to be divided among two sons and three daughters. This estate com? prises some of the most valuable property in Philadelphia, owning the ground upon which the Continental hotel and the Grand Central theatre stands. About eight years ago Parker married Miss Helen McGregor, he then being about thirty four years, and she twenty years old. They have had but one child, a boy, now about two years old. They resided in elegant style in an ornamental brown stone villa in the western portion of West Philadelphia, the house being surrounded by beautiful grounds, conserva? tories, etc., and furnished within with most of the luxuries and comforts of a refined and wealthy family. Mr. Parker's habits have not been such as to make his relations with his wife of the happiest, and for a long time past they have occupied separate rooms, the child occupy? ing a cot in its mother's apartment. ! On Tuesday afternoon Mr. Parker was riding in a phaeton driven by his coachman, and on his return his demeanor was noticed as being remarkably sullen and morose. He retired early in the evening and went at once to his ; room, and nothing more was heard of him un? til the dreadful deed of the night was done. It i seems from the testimony, that Parker went to I his wife's room with the pistol, and shot her while she was in bed. She arose and fled from the room to that of the servants, where she lay down, beseeching the domestics to save her baby, which was still in the crib in tho room with its father. The female domestics were afraid to venture into the room, and called out of the window for^the coachman, who slept in a room in the stable building. He came to the house as soon as he could, but none of the female servants would come down stairs to let him in, and he gaiued an entrance by means of a plank by which he entered the second story window. When advised of the condition of aflairs, he started for the police and a physi? cian, and on returning the party entered Mrs. Parker's room, where they found Parker lying across the foot of his wife's bed dead, with the pistol in his hand, having shot himself behind the right ear, the ball passing forward and to the left, and lodging at the root of the nose. The child was lying in the crib unharmed. I Womanly Dignity. There are various kinds of dignity, and if some are more exasperated than others, some are very lovely, aud among the greatest charms of womanhood. There is in particular that soft dignity that belongs to women who are affectionate by nature and timid by tempera? ment, but who have a reserve of self respect that defends them against themselves as well as against others. These have a quiet dignity, tempered by such sweetness of speech ana manner, that is the lovoliesC kind of all, and the most subtle as well as the most beautiful. They seem to cast the spell of respect on all with whom they are associated. No man, save of the coarsest fibre, and Buch as only physical strength can control, could be rude to them in word or brutal in deed; f?r there is something about them very indefinite but very strong withal, which seems to give them special pro? tection from insolence; and a loving woman of soft manners, whose mind is pure, and who respects herself, is armed, with a power which none but the vilest can despise. This is the woman who gets a precise obedience from her servants without exacting it, and whose chil? dren do not dream of disputing her wishes; who, though so gentle and affable, stops short of that kind of familiarity which breeds con? tempt, and with whom no one takes a liberty. For this, one can scarcely give a reason. She would not romp or rave if she was displeased, she would not scold, she could not strike; but there is a certain qualify in her which we may not be able to formulanze, yet which would make us ashamed to pass beyond the boundaries of the strictest respect, and which restrains others less consciously critical than ourselves as certainly aa fear. It is the respect we pay to those who respect themselves; the considera? tion and honor which all real purity of .nature demands and obtains. This is womanly dignity in its loveliest as? pect, and the kind we ail desire to see in wo? men, whom it would not harden, nor render leas than loving. All Sorts of Paragraphs. ?From a report just issued, it appears that the American Bible Society consists of 2,12-3 life directors and 43,000 life members. The receipts of the last fiscal year were $737,831, of which $18,789 remain unexpended. During the fifty-one years of its existence it has pub? lished 29,982,2^2 volumes in 35 dialects and languages? ? The majority, if not all, of the bankers and brokers who have been ruined by the crash were well known as earnest friends and con? tributors to the success of the Republicanj)ar ty. Their ruin, then, is their country's good. a hey have ruthlessly despoiled the Government at every opportunity, and they deserve their fate. ? An uneasy boy whose mother tried to quiet him, on a Boston and Maine train, tho other day, by telling him the conductor some? times swallowed naughty boys, astonished her a few moments after, as the portly form of the conductor appeared at the door, by creeping behind her and exclaiming, in a whisper, "Ma, I guess he has swallowed one already." ? Amongst tho candidates who have suc? cessfully passed this year's examination at the Naval Academy is another colored boy, Alonzo McClernan, of South Carolina. The colored cadet Conycrs, who failed to pass last June, is to bo given another chance, and if he can get through this time the two will be company for one another. ? There is a droll story of how a man lost a wager in Pueblo, Colorado. Stepping into a large liquor shop he offered to bet ten to one that he could, blindfolded, tell the name of any liquor or wine in the house, or any mixture of liquors, by the taste or smell. All went well with him at fir3t. He named all the cele? brated brands correctly. Then they handed him a glass of water. He tasted, he smelt, ke tasted and smelt again, and at last, completely nonplussed, he gave it up so. "Well, boys," he said, "you have got me. It seems to me as if, years ago, I struck something of that kind in the States, but it was so long ago I have entirely forgotten it." The First Kailvvay in Persia.?The re- j markable work of turning the first sod of the first railway in Persia has been accomplished at Reshd, a town, the capital of the province of Ghilan, on the shore of the Caspian. Few na? tions have experienced so many remarkable changes as Persia, but the event which we re? cord to-day is the most significant and hopeful of any which is told of in the history ot her national career from its very first point of in? ception to the time of Cyrus the Great, and thence to the occasion of the Shah's visit to the outside nations.
