I wrote 'Mosses and Midges,' and," I added, desperately, see? ing how pale and hard his face was grow? ing as the first look of surprise changed to one of cold displeasure, "I am so sorry. Forgive me; I only did it at first for a^oko, and afterward I feared"?? "You feared?" ha inquired, quietly, as I paused. "Yes," I said, feeling my cheeks burn and my eyes fill with tears, "I never had a friend like you before, and I feared to lose your friendship F r "And did you really imagine that to deceive and make me ridiculous was the beet means of keeping my friendship?" "Yes?no?I dotft know. I did not think much about it until I saw the dedi? cation, and then tfelt too ashamed and unhappy to confess. What can I do? I am so sorry." "You can do nothing. Will you allow me to take you back to your cousin, who. I believe, has been inquiring for your' he asked, with a sudden ohango to ' icy conventional tones. I rose without a word, but as we en? tered the room I whispered: "Can you forglve-meT - "No, I cannot," he.'? answered, and with a bow left me, and I saw him, after a few words with our hostess, leave the room,'and was told afterward he had pleaded urgent business as an exouse for leaving early. ?? -' After that miserable evening,;, though I frequently saw Cyril Brownrigg at : musical or literary gatherings, he never spoke a word to me beyond what mere politeness rendered necessary; and yet I always felt a strange new joy in his presence. It was a pleasure to me to .hear how-popular he was becoming, and ? to watch his grave eyes light up and. his' whole face gleam when he talked about anything: that interested him. One night a large party of us were fHnfng together, Miss Gould. Cyril Brownrigg, my cousin and myself being among the number. . After dinner we were all going to the theatre to hear a celebrated French actress in one of her most powerful impersonations. By chance Cyril Brownrigg was my neigh? bor at,, tho meal, but as usual, beyond . the necessary polite formalities, did not 'speak, nor aid I, of course, though 1 was longing to break down this icy wall that separated me from the man I had grown to love bo deeply. Presently the lady sitting on the other side of him ? "I suppose I may congratulate you, Mr. Brownrigg, and I do, very heartily. I really think you have been as success? ful as you could wish, and every one is saying how entirely you deserve your 2 good fortune." ? "Thank: you," he answered, quietly, with,'Ifanoied,a half-glance atme, "I do consider myself very fortunate, and hope to bo even moro so "before long." AAht" she said with a little laugh, "we shall even have to congratulate you on your marriage, I snppose?" I I could, not catoh his answer, as just then our hostess rose, and I bad to fol Jow;..bufc,as we wentvnpstairs a girl ,1. ..knew said:_ . "I suppose Miss Gould is to be con ;gratu&ted. Save you heard of her en 'gagement? A case of love at first sight, :J>hear. By .the by, when will Mr. Brownrigg's new book appear? Is it also to be dedicated to his brother and friend?" ?:' Thevold joke had not died out even yet, end now came as a keener shame and pain than ever. I made no reply, and though I .heard afterward that Mme, Sophie. Lenoir surpassed herself, every thing,that night seemed a blank to me at the theatre. Voices and faces mixed, themselves up together in torturing con fusion, and the brilliant light seemed only to show me'more clearly the utter blackness.' of my heart ana life. My cousin, perhaps,' guessed something of ?hay nusery; for ehe said: ; ; "Dont talk to Amy; let her dream. No doubt she is composing sonnets on "the actress or the play 1" vr VSb they laughed and left me alone. ... ; ?? Suddenly my apathy was broken by a cry of "Firer repeated in louder tones again' and again, and people sprang from thair seats, as thin streaks of emoko wero soon curling round behind tho stage. In vain the manager came forward and -tried to speak'; in vain Mme, Lenoir, who was dying in agonized contortions, rose, and spoke in rapid French, assuring the audience there was no danger: the people grew deaf and blind to everything but the xncreasing roar, and the smoke and flame, ' which were now pouring into the theatre -itself.:_ The curtain fell, but only for a 'moment served to deaden the advancing 'fire. . ? ? rV- ; Tho confusion was terrible. Women shrieked and sobbed, men swore, and when erery now end again a nickering .fiamo blazed higher than before, it ?/showed a sickening scene of struggle and despair. I I felt so miserable, that I had never thought of leaving my seat, but sat stor? ing stirpidly, as If the Mghtfut pcene was no concern of min?, when I was -aroused to tingling life again by Cyril's voice close to my ear: 'Takemy arm," ha said, in low hurried tones, "ana for heaven's sake hold fast'" ? I olasped it with iboth my hands, but 'without a word. Ho forgave ma then; he cared for met he wished to save mo; -^an4 thajoy ot this thought took away all fear.; At the same moment tho cur ains in one of the Doses' near blazed up for a few seconds, and by the light I saw - my cousin's agonized face, as ana strug? gled to keep on her feet, and was pressed back by the surging, maddened mass from the pit; she saw us; too, and reached her hand ou) to us. "Amyl. Mr. Brownrigg!". she cried; "help meldb not leave mei" Ho turned to me. ./?: Vltisfinpoesible to save you bojh," he said, hoarsely. "Good God! what can 'I do?" -I saw what he could do, and said: "Press forward; think only of getting - out of this horrible place." ? Then the light died away again, and with a smothered sob of intense thank-! fulness I slid my hands from his arm, and, taking my .cousin's, gently slipped them into the same'ploce and -pushed her vforward^saying: "Keep firm hold. I will follow close behind.* She was half dead- with terror, and scarcely understood, but clung blindly,, and ho, in the struggle and darkness, did not notice the change, and pushed his way forward, shiolding my cousin as well as he could. I kept close to them until wo reached the passage leading to the door of exit ? into the street, but then somebody seized me by the shoulders and dragged me roughly back, slipping into my place. I lost my balance and fell, and for one horrible minute felt a sickening sense of suffocation as the rush passed over me; the next I struggled on my feet again. Fortunately, I nod fallen close to the wall, so was able to support myself against it, and felt my way by its guid? ance through the blinding smoke in the direction of the door. I was nearly crushed to death, and very sore and bruised, but I felt the still glow of that great Joy In my heart, and thanked God with all my soul that I had been able to show Cyril that I was- not . entirely heartless. Death seemed noth? ing to me in comparison with the know? ledge that he loved mo, for I had seen the love I longed for in his agonized eyes, and hoard it in his voice during the momentary flicker. I suppose I fainted after this, for I have- a very dim remombranoe of seeing lights appear, as if through a fog, and of feeling strong arms helping mo on, and then a total blank, until I found myself in a carriage driving slowly along a dimlv lighted street. "Where is she?' I asked', faintly, look? ing around for my cousin. "She is.safe," answered Cyril's voice, "quite safe at homo by this time; but you, Amy, are you muoh hurt? How could I have missed you? I shall never forget my horror ana misery when I got outside the theatre and found your cousin clinging to mo, and you, I know not whore. I rushed in again, but was helpless In the darkness, until nt last I found you quite close to tho door!" "Have you quite forgiven me?' I asked. "Yes,- my dearest, I forgave you long ago, and loved you loo: but after that evening when,! was ho Iwird and rnrrei- I less I feared tq toll you what 1 felt, and you always seemed to avoid mo. and treat me so coldly." "Oh," 1 said, between a laugh and a sob, "I thought you nover meant to 6pcak to mo again, and I heard a lady congratulating you on your approaching marriage to Miss Could." "Miss Gould!" lie exclaimed. "Why ?ihe hue juat become engaged to Thorn* n iearSst^K5 painted her porUaft ie R. A. this year. 'What can jro4 mean?" "I thought," I stammered?''I hoard she was engaged directly after hearing you congratulated, and so I thought"??>: "You were entirely mistaken, he said, gravely, "That lady was congratulating me on tho announcement of the speedy appearance of my new book, and sug? gested that probably my marriage would be the next subject of congrai But there is only one woman '! marry, Amy. the 'brother and friend1 _ know so well and love so dearly. It is my turn now to ask for forgivenees. Can you forgive me, Amy, and let my new hook be dedicated 'To the God given wife and friend' I hope to have always beside me henceforth?. Can you, Amyr ' Tee," I answered, and that * 'yes" has been the key to my earthly paradise, for surely no other woman can ever have been so happy as I am. There is no doubt one is absurdly joy? ful over one's first proof sheet ana first review, but Cyril and I always Bay, after all the last is, netter than the. first, and we ought to; know, for we have-just .finished correcting what will certainly be our very last proof sheet. We have grown old together, since that terrible vet joyful evening, and as wo sit hand in hand by the fire, and recall the past, we -feel that though the first, book was a beautiful preface, yet the deepest joy and holiest content came afterward, whan the glamour of poetry and passion being past, we still felt the glory of art, and the unselfish beauty of love grow dearer and more divine with every day we passed, together, and every line we wrote.-^3hee a Week.' A Lofty Ideal. He who would make progress for him? self, or who would help others upward, must have clearly before Mb mind the ideal of the beat, conceivable attainment But while a man must perceive that ideal - for'himself. it is not always wise for him to disclose it to others. If Ee would bo to others a means of inspiration or of in . struotion all his words and sota must point in tho direction of his ideal; but they are not necessarily to point' It out in its explicitnesa When Moses would reform the Hebrew view of the marriage relation he made regulations intnedl j rection of the ideal standard of marriage i in its pristine purity; but because of the hardn ess of the people's hearts, through their wrong education up to that time, he refrained from exacting of them all that would have been their duty had they been capable of perceiving ? it' as such. So; again. Jesus withheld some truths, from his disciples which they were not yet able to bear, while all thai he said to them was in the direction of the greatest truths known to himself. And so it must be .with every wise teacher and leader. He needs to have his highest ideal ever before himself; but it may not be expedient to bring its daz? zling brill tan cy Immediately before tho dull eyes of those whose gaze upward he is lovingly directing.?Sunday flchool A MATHEMATICAL PRODIGY. Tho Reraurkablo Talent of a Half Wltted Negro Countryman. I "Reuben Field, ? the mathematical' pro? digy of Lexington, who has attracted so much attention, was bora at Warrens burg, Johnson county, about thirty years. ago, and possesses only slightly. better' intellectual faculties than "Blind. T6m."^. "Rueb's" gift is made the more promi? nent by the barrenness of his mind' in other features. He has no intelligence aside from his remarkable manipulation of figures. Give Reuben Field a problem,, up matter whether it b?im]3ecimal|;co%;. 'wund or vulgar fractiohaifit makes no: |;nu^orence whether it Is better suitedjto' the rules of short than long division; it. I' isimmaterial whether'thore'are ten' fig-; ures or 700 in it; whether multiplication or substruction; and he will, without the aid of paper or pencil, give you the answer before the echoes of your voice in propounding - the question have .fully died away. Be cannot read; he cannot write.. He does not know - one figure from another, and yet mentally, by the gift which he possesses, bo can solve any Problem submitted to him. As. "Blind em's" talent of repeating pieces of music played in his presence for the first time by many of the most brilliant performers in the country, has been tested, and always with the result of making moro wonder? ful his great gift, so have learned math? ematicians tried to trap Field, but with? out success. To give him -a problem which one himself could not solve would not dotermine whether he was right or wrong, and lest errors might be mads the most difficult "examples" in the higher arithmetics, as well as"others, originating with their Questioner ana simple -enough except for their long array of figures, have been hurled at .him, and-quick as a flash would como his answer, always correct. Give him the diameter of tho wheel of a locomotive, and the distance between any two points?it makes no difference how great?the time spent in traversing this distance', and you have hardly ceased speaking before he gives you the number of revolutions the wheel makes in covering tho distance. Give him the distance and the tune and he will tell Sou the diameter of the wheel. Tell him tie dimensions of a hriok. and say to him a wall Is so many, feet long, so many high and so many thick, and he promptly tells you how many bricks are na tho wall. Not in a reasonable length of time, as though; calculating it, nut in? stantly, and while skilled accountants who have witnessed his feats have ques? tioned the correctness of his answers, they have found they were in error and Reub was right whenever they did so. Tell him to multiply 0,898.740,823,156 by 78, add 80,572 and divide by 60. and In less time'than the reader can calculate it Reub will have the'answer ready. These figures are only used as ah illustration, j but they are simpiioity in its purest form compared to some submitted to him. He has gray eyes, and, when' not engaged in exhibiting his strange gift, they are entirely free of expression, as though they were of dead gloss; hut have him in the excitement of figures and a strange glitter?something little short of an expression of madness?fights them up. The' strangest of this half wit ted fellow's accomplishments Is that, awak? ened at any hour, bo will tell you the time to a second. He does not make a business of exhibiting his power, and if is not always that those who are most kind to him. and whom he knows best, can persuade him to "show off." He says nis power como from God, and, if he accepted offers which had been mode to him to travel with showmen, or to take employment in large business houses, God would take his gift away.? Lexington (Ma) Cor. Globe-Democrat. Umbrella vs. Cane The gold headed cane which loving children present to dear papa, to remind him that he is growing old and that his. tottering footsteps are fetching him to the gravo; or which poorly paid em? ployes present to the superintendent as a bit of taffy; or which the retiring minis? ter receives from his doting congrega? tion to help him on hip jouraoy.

Ab eloquent donation speeches may be mode over a fine silk umbrella with a gold headed handle as over an ebony wood club that but few men will carry about with them. Possibly the umbrella/Is more likely to turn up as lost, strayed or stolen, with less chance of finding its'true owner again than the cano, but that is a disad? vantage that comes entirely from tho superior value of the umbrella.

France Is full of chateaux, under which name are included a great variety of buildings, so great tliat when you hear of a place so called you do not at all know what to expect Information is always hard to get in a foreign land, and the human mind rebels against a perpetual confession of ignorance, so I that its owner is apt to accept with a smile of intelligence Instructions in a strange language that convey but a shadow of meaning to the hearer, and to trust to experience as the best teacher. I leave it to any candid reader to say, if he would know which promised the most, the Chateau of the Pharos or the Chateau of St Eulalia? Yet one is a palace, and the other?but let me not anticipate. A PLEASANT PLACE TO BE SICK, On one cape of the magnificont bay that includes Marseilles ana her harborO, and overlooking them all - from its hill, ! 'stands the Chateau of the Pharos, giving us an unexpected reward for our difficult walk between quays, fortresses and lighthouse, In.its elegance and quiet ex? clusion. 'The palace Is closed now, and stands as peacefully hi its extensive and well kept park as if it were miles away from the ousy city?a handsome Renal? eance edifice, far more attractive than many more famous royal residences. It belonged to the Empress .Eugenie, and after the fall of the empire was given by her to the city ?f Marseilles to he used as a hospital, 1 believe it has not yet been fitted up for that purpose; at any rate, it is not now in use. It is finely situated for a hospital, in such an open, healthy location: It would bo almost worth while to be sick in order to recover in suoh a pleasant spot THE OTHER KIND. It was while we were at Hyores that we heard of the Chateau of St. Eulalia Attracted' by the poetical name wo re? solved transit It, although it was repre? sented as rather too distant for a walk. Butrwith' 8uch an object In viow we would take the best part of the day, start early, and give up our lunch. . Fol? lowing the direcuons given, we proceeded down', tho.;jbeauttfnl ? valley; of Byeres. between tho ? summits of Costa Bella and themoimtains/of the iMoora,- theclatter name-so suggestive of -'th atimes ..when afi "'tills, land was racked by piratical incursions of./those savage 'marauders. Crossing the. rapid 'little' Gapand river after two or three miles' walk, and fol? lowing its banks, we looked In all direc? tions for the stately edifice wo expected t? show :lts towers above the yellow sycamores;, but in vain. Finally, being directed by the most polite of French ^avaliora, .whom we fortunately mot, and who might have'ridden directly out of tho middle ages, we turned down a muddy lane and found?a ranch! A ranch, though nobody in this effete country knows enough to call it so There were a number of long, low stono buildings, scattered among hugo old olive trees, peach orchards, groves of mulberries and grass fields: there were great ricks/ of Hay, an old mill wide barns and'tri bee of - chickens but no handsome central mansion worthy of the noble family that formerly Inhabited it The only reminders of the ancient times when I suppose princes used to visit here wore a dilapidated avenue of lofty trees that once formed the approaches to the chateau, and a singular old tower. This tower must have been built as u re? fuge for the family and dependents when the pirate galleys were anchored In the harbor and the alarm was spread from one estate to.. an othera tall, round tower, piercedfonlyS by loopholes, with a. lookout on tho summit of its bell aliaped roof. Around its base were bat-tlo? rn en ted wails, now in ruins, the former moat overgrown with bushes and trav? ersed' by chickens, the only useless part, of tho farm. - Amen! May all war so vanish in peace and plenty I AN EXPENSIVE CANAL. "Have you seen the falls of Durance?" wo were asked soon after our arrival in Marseilles. We replied in the negative, wondering to what.the lady could refer, ?when ahe explained by adding: VWhere the'water comes into the town." In 1840 the Marseilles people, having been short of water for some centuries and having, as it happened, no war on hand to ex? haust their; finances, undertook to bring in a river to satisfy then* thirsty souls. The expenditure of 20,000,000 francs re? sulted in the ^ canal of Roquefavour, which, connects the Durance with the city, a distance of twenty-five miles. Marseilles slopes gently upward from its harbor to a hill directly east from that Eolnt, about a mile and a half, the hill oing 400 feet above the sea level. On the top of that hill arrives the canal, having passed through several tunnels and crossed the final valley on arches like the old Roman aqueducts.?Mar? seilles Ccwv San Francisco Chronicle. Ho\7 to SpUt Paper. '"Oh, dear! I have a picture printed on one side of this paper and some reading matter on the other, and I wanted to save both," said a young lady recently, who was pasting scraps into a book, "Well, you can. save both,"' said her friend "Why, how can I do that?" . "There are two ways of splitting a piece of paper. One is to lay the sheet of paper on a piece of. glass, soak it thoroughly wi?rwater and then press it smoothly all over the glass. With a lit? tle care the upper half of the sheet can be peeled off, leaving the under half on the glass. Let this dry and it will come off the glass easily; of course the glass must bo perfectly clean. Tho second way is a better one, but it requires some good practice. Paste a piece of cloth or strong paper on each side of the sheet to be sput When it has thorouglily dried dtho two pieces of cloth apart sud iy and violently. The paste can then be softened with water and tho two halves of the sheet easily taken off the cloths."?New York Mail and Exprves. A marriage Notice. The Roumanian villages - are by no means as picturesque as the Bulgarian, which derive most of then* beauty from the trees and gardens by which tlioy ore surrounded, for every Bulgarian is by natural instinct a. gardener. In ?ouib eastern Wallachia and along the whores of the Danube the peasants five in holes dug in the ground and roofed over with a rude thatch, but near Bucharest tho houses are fairly built, whitewashed and covered with a thick thatch of cane, which extends beyond the walls and forms a shady veranda supported by poles I noticed that the walls of some of 'the houses were embel? lished with gayly painted pictures of flowers. The obiect of these adornments was not eesthetlo, but strictly business like.

While coming up Market street tlw other day, in tho face of a sweeping rain, what was my astonishment upon passing a prominent clothing store to see a blue flag waving in front of the build1 ing, witlP'clear and fair weather" on It in large white letters. I thought, how? ever, that the proprietor had forgotten to taao it down, and passed on. It was still raining when I approached the Slace the next day. The same flag was uttering .merrily in the breeze In spite of tho terrible falsehood it had written on its face. My curiosity was aroused, and I decided to learn, if possible, what object the proprietor could have In al? lowing it to remain there, I ontered the store and asked htm the question plainly. At first he gave me evasive answers, but finally he became confidential and said: '.'That is one of the very best advertise? ments I ever liad. Whon It rains I put out the 'clear' flag, and when It is clear vice versa. People passing along the street and noticing tho apparent mistake come Into the store and tell me about it. That Is when my clerks get In then* work, and there are few dayB when they do not Bell from one to five more suite than they otherwise would. You know tho difficult tl?ng Is to get customers inside the door. Why. I wouldn't give those flags for a half dozen 'barkers? and they don't make half the noise,"?Philadel? phia News. A Donblo Wedding.- ?? "Do I marry many people who have been divorced?"' repeated a well known clergyman to a reporter. "It dopends entirely," he continued, "on the cause for which the divorce wna granted. 1 follow the scriptural injunction. "By the way," he went on, "I heard of a rather strange marriage which took place a few nights oinco. At a houoo in the northwest there was a double wed? ding.. One of the couples were elderly and staid and the bride had been divorced for other than scriptural cause*. Her son was tho bridegroom In tho younger pair. A Methodist minister, whom 1 won't name, but of whoso church the old couplo wore members, was Invited to perform tho ceremonies. "He promptly declined to officiate for the divorced woman, but he would have no objection to joining tho young folks together. The old people made no com? plaint; they engaged the services of a Methodist local preacher, whoso views on the subject of divorce woro more liberal than those of their pastor. A few evenings since the two couples and the two preachers stood up together in tho same room. The two services were read and the .six souls were made happy; four of them'because they were weu. and two of them because they'had been presented with respectable fees." ?
