"Toll me, Charley, who is that fasci
nating cr<'*ture in blue that wallie* so
divinely!" asked youug Frank Belmont
of h*s mend, Charles Hastings, as they
stood "playing wallflower" for the mo
llien* at n li.ilitary ball.
'.Ida Heathcote^" answered Charlea,
? ?th a$?lf Sw* ni?i?ltio? of Jaine.
I proposed, but che refused me."
"Cn what ground ?"
"(dimply because ' I hud a comfortable
laconic, i Her hi-ad is full of romantic no
tion?, ami she dreams of nothing but lore
in a cottage.' 'She contends that poverty
in essential to happiness-and money is
bane."
"Have you. ?ven up all hopes of ber 7"
"Entirely ; in fact, I'm engaged."
"Then you have no objections to my
addressing tho dear, romantic augel ?"
"None whatever. But I see my dance
-excuse mc-I must walk through the
next quadrille with her."
Frank Beltr.out was a stranger in Bos
ton-a New Yorker-immensely rich and
fashionable, but his reputation bsd not
proceeded .lum..?nd Charley -Hastings
wa? thc only mtan wno knew him in Eng
l-iud. Ho .rocurcd an introduction to
thu beauty from ono of the managers
mid soon danced rid talked himself Into
her good graces, in fact, it was a clear
case ol love at first sight on both sides.

Suddenly Bt,?!?!o*?t hesiod s deep sigh.
"Why do YOU sigh, Mr. Belmont 7"
asked tbo fair? Ida, somewhat pte?scd
with this proo." of sensibility. "Is not
this a gay Keeto?"
"Alas I yes," replied Belmont, gloomi
ly, "but fate joes not permit me to
mingle habitually in scenes like this.
They only ranke my ordinary lifo double
gloomy-and even hero I seem to see thc
shadow of a fiend waving mc away.
What right have 1 to bc here?"
"What fiend do you allude to?" asked
Mi.?? Heathcote, with increasing interest.
a'A fiend hardly presentable in good
society," replied Belmont, bitterly.
"Om: could tolerate a Meph'stophllea-a
dignified fiend, with bis pockets full of
money-but my tormentor, impersonfied,
would appear with seedy boots and n
?hocking bad hat."
"How absurd J'
"It is too true," sighed Belmont, "and
the name of this fiond is Povr.rty P'
'Arc you poor?"
"Yes. madame,- lam poor, and wheu
I would fain render myself agrecablo in
the eye? of beauty-in tho eyes of ono I
could love, this fiend whispers to mc,
'Beware I you have nothing to ofter her
but love in n cottage,' " .__ r
"Mr". Belmont," said Ida, with spark
ling eyes, ?nd a voice of unusual anima
tion, "although there aro sordid souls in
this world, who only judge of tho merita
of an individual by his pecuniary posses
sions, I am. dot one of that number. I
respect poverty ; | there ii .'.oinothing high
ly poetical about it, and I imagino that
happiness is oftener found in tho humble
cottage than beneath the palace roof."
Belmont appeared enchanted with this
encouraging avowal. The next d?y,
after cautioning his friend Charley to say
nothing of actual circumstances, he Called
on tho widow Heathcote and her fair
daughter in tho character of tho "poor
gentleman." Tho widow had very differ
ent notions from her romantic ofepring,
and when Belmont candidly confessed
his poverty on soliciting permission to
address Ida. ho was very politely re
quested to change tho subject, and never
mention it again.
Tho result of All this manoeuvring waa
an elopement : the bude of tho ball jump
ing out of a chamber window on a shed,
and coming down a flight of stops to
reach her lover, for the sake of being ro
mantic, when she might just as well nave
walked out tho front door.
Tho happy couple passed a day in New
York city, and then Frank took hir. be
loved to "his "cottage"
An Irish hack convoyed them to a
miserable shanty in tho environs of New
York^ where they alighted, and Frank,
escorting tho bride into ino apartment
which .served fox parlor, | kitchen, and
drawing room, and was neither, papered j
nor carpeted j int roduced hot lc* hi?
mother, much in the wuy Claude ~i.d
notte presents Pauline. Ibo old vornan,
who was peeling potatoes, hastily wiped
her hands and face with a grcasr apron.'
and saluted her "darter," as soo calles
her, on both cheeks.
"Can it bo possible," thought Ida,
"that this vulgar creature is my Bel
mont's mother?"
"Franki" screamed tho old wcr??c,
"You'd better go right up stairs and tako
off them clothes-fer the boy's been sent
arter 'em moro'n fifty times. Frank hor
ned them clothes, ma'am," she added - to
Ida,, by way of explanation, "to ?opk
smart whoa n? went down E&ci."
The bridegroom retired on this hint,
and soon re-appeared in a pair of faded
nankoen pantaloons, reaching to about
tho calf pf the leg.'a very shabby black
coat, out at the elbows, a ragged ul?ok
vest, and, instead of his varnished leather
boots, a pair of Immense cowhide bro
gans.
"Now," said he, sitting quietly down
by thc cooking stove, "J begin to feel at
home. Ah ? this Is delightful, Isn't it,
dearest ?" and he warbled,
'Though no/cr so humble, there's DO placo Mu
homo."
Ida's heart swelled id that abo cosW
not utter a singla word.
"Dearest," said Frank, "I think you
told mo you had no objection to smok
ing?"
T'None in In the least," said the bride ;
"l rather Uko tho flavor of a cigar."
"O, a cigar?" replied Belmont; "that
would never do for a poer man,"
And O horror? hs produced an old
clay pipe, and filling it from a little new
paper parcel of tobacco, began to smoke
with a keen iroUsbJ HO J I
"Dinner! dinner I" he exclaimed, at
lenghth ; "nh f thank* yon, mother ; I'm
as hungry-as a bear. Codfish and pota
toes, Jda-i-not; very tempting faro-but)
what.of that? our ailment is lovel" '
"Yes, and by the way of treat," added
tho old woman, "I've been and ?one and
brought a whole pint of Albany ale, and
three cream cakes, from the candy shep
next block ."
Poor Ida pleaded indisposition, and
could not eat rc mouthful. Before Bel
mont, however, the codfish and potatoes,
and tho ale, i$d cream cakes disappeared
with a very unromantic and unlovcr-like
velocity/ At the cloie 6f tM tneal, NM
thundering doublo knock was heard at !
tho door.
"Como in F cried Belmont.
A low browed man, In a green waist
coat, catered.
"NOT', Mhther Belmont," ho exclaim
ed, in a i-trcng Hibernian accent, "are ye i
ready to go to work? By tho powers 1 ir |

tho old woman, "I worked with these

"Well, Wa, how do you like poverty
and love In a cottage?" asked Belmont,
entering in his bridal dress.
"Not so weli, sir, ea you Miera to Jil-.c

reddening with vexation.
"Very well ; you shall suffer it no

and hid her face tu Iii? bosom.
She presided with grace at- tho elegant
festivities of Belmont Hoi), and seemed
to support her hnsbswV? wealth /'and
luxurious style of living with the great
est fortitude und resignation, never com
plaining of lier comforts, nor murmuring
to W?B?I for living iii a cottage.
A gentleman not unconnected with the
Boston Freu waa in St. Loch? recently^
and while thero confided1 to a friend tho
details of an odvoatur? In a Beaton hotol
so remarkable As to deserve a SDaciaJ
ijno in print. The story lo brief, but
with an immense moral as showing how
in sumo things lovely woman will always
come to the relief or a sister in dislres io
outwit tho tyrant man. The journalist
above referred to, was stopping at the
hotel, a private ono whore the guests were
nec?? ?torne ! to the entire freedom of the
house, felt late ?ne night the necessity o'
eating some fruit before retiring. It was
t.-io late to ?cud out to buy any; bo did
net want to uroune the servants of the
hoiuc nt so ?ate an hour, and yet fruit or
Ere* sr ves or something toothsome of : the
in<l seemed to bim a p?raonnl necessity,

know that the door waB loft open, ana
finally resolved to go down and prig
enoug! to satisfy his need. No sooner
was tin thought conceived than acted
upon, and within Ave minutes ho was in
the storeroom hooking preserves out of a
jar and. enjoying himself immonoi?y in
Epti*fytnj? filn f fitylpo vrhich hfid COTUO

For . bvv riiomouta the enjoyments of

snob 'suddenness ns, coming squarely
against tho form of the midnight raider,
to ?nook him half way across the room,
and squarely off his feet. Leaping up at
once, ne cloned with his assailant to be
s?sr??c-d by a sudden ahlek and to Sud
that he had captured a woman. For?
thar, and moro terrible still, he discover
ed that the plump form of the lady who
hau wanted something to oat as well as
he was clad only in a uight-dresss Still
though trying, the occasion was one not
of unmixed horror by any means, and in
a moment the gentleman's nerve returned
and his curiosity rose tu fever heat
"Who is this?" he demanded of the
plump figure in his anns. No^-nswar.
"Who is it?" he repeated. "You'll
not got out of this until you tc!!." Still
no answer, but a struggle in tho darkness,
the plump figure trying hard to get
away.
Again the querry, woe repeated, with
equal lack of r?ponse, tut ihla time a
resounding slap in the fat? fran a band
that was d?ubtles pretty, but which hit
with decided force, was the '"'ward of the
questioner.
He was put on bis mettle at euee.
"*>u think you'll cet off unknown I
We'll see about thatr he exclaimed.
"I've a device thatT. work, I think."
And then, aftar a silent and determin?
struggle, he caught, a little bit of tho
ladra fight cheek between his teeth and
bit it-not badly so aa to break the vel

mark which he knew could not disappear

>' ?o next morning the gentleman with

advent of the ladies was awaited with an
impatience'scarcely to bo controlled.
Flvo minutes later the door opened and

SCARLET FEVEU.-IX ls as unnecessary
for a child to dis willi the scarlet fever
as lt is that it should be blind with cata
ract. Undress the child ?nd bring it
to bed nt the very fi re t sign of the sick
ness. Give it, ir it has already fever,
nothing but warm, sourish lemonade,
with some gum arabic in it. Then cover
its abdomen with'somo dry flannel.
Take a well-folded bed-sheet mid put it
in li nc, water, wring it out dry by
menus ol ci-y towels, and put this ovos,
thc flannel un the abdomen. Then cover
tho whole, and wait. Tho bot cloths
will, perhaps, rcquiro repeated heat.
According to the severity of thc caso and
ita ulngo of progress, perspiration will
commence in the child from ten to two
hours. Tho child is then saved; it soon
falls asleep. Boon after tho child awakes,
it shows slight symptoms of returning
inclination for food ; help its bowels, if
necessary, with injections of oil, soap and
water, and ita recovery will bo ar. steady
as tbe growth of a green-house plant, if
well treated. Of course, If the child was
alrrtnrty dying, nothing could sr.vc it or
if it baa effusions io tho lining ::of tho
heart of brain ; H ia much better that it
should die; But if the above Is applied
in due!time, under^hq carosnd direc

children will ever die with scarlet feve?.
I know this will stat tie some of tny read
ers, especially those who havo lost chil
dren already: but I shall go still further.
I maintain that a child. will never get
scarlet feyer if, properly treated. Ir a
child baa correctly mixed bloody it.will
not catch the disorder if put lu bed with
a sick child. This is sUU more ct ai tiing,
but nothing ls easier 6f proof.' . ' ' * '
SHORT SENTEHCE?.-Short phrases
have ever been most powerful anti beau
tiful mediums of convoying thought
Thoy aro simplicity, and simplicity ia
beauty. Easily understood, no ?:tudy is
required to grasp thc meaning. A pro
phetic politician makes a declaration re
specting government, and the people tiobn
catch tho spirit and confirm the declara
tion. Results from such phrases may
not bo immediate-but tho words go
sounding on until their work is accom
plished. Short phrases are comprehen
sive, and sometime:! contain whole vol
umes. OiBsar'a "Veni,'vidi,"ric*" "gavia)
the history of a wholo campaign. And
the last words of the dying Tom Paine
"I take a leap iii the dark 1"-a confes
sion of judgment stronger than the Infi-.
dclity of a 'ifetimo. When the remains'
of Napoleon Bonaparte were brought to
Paris by Prince de Ju? u v?llu, tho uuiiro
speech-making wa?, this ; "Sir, I present
you the ines of Napoleon." And
Lou?? Phillippe answered, "? receive
them Wi thc name of Franco." Such was
the brief response of a people to the
presence of the dead omperor. Some
times ia a single sentence the lifo and
character of Eome gres* m?.n stsnds out
strangely revealed and individualized.
No biographer could depict tho character
of Enoch more clearly than the simple
words: "Enoch walked With God, and
wai not-I jr God took bim." The first
chapter of Genesis in a symbol of the
power which a few words can embody.
