Train Can't Wait During a few days after Clara's arrival the whole bouse was upset, making and recwing4 calls, dinner parties, dancing parties, lawn ten ais?the days were not long enough to hold their pleasures. Then all was quiet at the mill. .In the orchard, which was large, {the walks were spread over with, ?and, and the trees, loaded with afforded a beautiful, shady This . was Clara's favorite Hero she would <go and read She had been given the of Lamartine, beautifully . Now, Lamartine is a very lender poet, and Clara was still in heriteens, end. this was summer, and the fragrance of the flowers and the snurmur of the breeze acted on her joung mind, and through this book ,?he would dream of things that sho ihad never dreamed of before. One day her mother asked her if she remembered her cousin Albert. "Oh, yes, indeed I" said she. This Answer came from her heart. She flushed, and from her neck to her *brow she folt that sort of electricity that is produced by a little shame ?nd a great pleasure. "Well," 6oid her mother, "you will see him very soon." Clara Tas about tc say, "Oh, how glad I ami" but she thought it more proper to say nothing. And why was she silent? I will [tell you?it was because she had aread Lamartine. Why does pretty Soetry make one false? Well, I on't know, but it speaks of love? iand what is love ? I "Well/' said Clard, "I have not seen him for two years. I suppose. 81c is changed." "Not more than you," said her another,' casting a loving glance of ; tadnnration at her daughter. "Yon -were a little girl when you went eaway. You are a young lady now." Clara ran off to her beloved grove sto hide the blushes on her checks iand the ^eatings of her heart. She ?sat down, drew from her pocket her | -volume of poetry, but read not a ] Uine.

He {took hold of those hands and kiised mer on both cheeks. - , He was a medical student who Ehad not yet . in his brain the least {thought of anything serious. He had suddenly discovered in himself a vo icatiori for the beautiful science o? li^Esculapius,. that he might go to* jParis to spend a' few years of his pttfe and waste a few thousands of this father's francs. "?h, little cousin/' said he, "you fare pretty now. Why, I am afraid I ?hall fall in loto with yon.** I She looked at him, not knowing what to say.

"And when we would go rowing : ?and I would scare you by swinging 'to and fro in the boat to capsize ?you?" ; "Oh, no. 'I remember it. all." ''Then why don't you put yrjor ^???5 around my neck and say pleas ant things to me, as yon did then ?" ! "I don't know," she faltered. Then ho said to himself, "This ?ousin of mine must be a little sim pleton." "Well," said ho aloud, "and what 5s this book?" - "Lamartine. It is beautiful." "I don't think 30. I think it stu pid." Then, seeing that she was somewhat abashed, he added, "Why \ 'does it displease you that I should not c*aro for Lamartine ?" f<Because I love Mb poema," <fWcl?, ?f I read poetry I want (Alfred de Musset.

In the meantime she was hoping that he would propose beforo going \ back to Paris, but the last day dawn- j ed, and ho had not saiv the least ! word about marriage. Albert gave kisses all around and . said to her : "I will como back next year. I will write to you and send Do Mussct's works, as I promised." She plucked up courage and said to him, "Is. that; all you waul-to promise, Albert?" ' He understood what "she meant, but would not promise more, and as his ?yes rested on the clock he said : "Goodby, cousin. The train is here/. It cannot wait." The life of a student, especially that of a student who does not I study, is just as. tiresome as any ' other. ! There comes a time when he gets i tired of beer, wine end cigars. Albert was in one of his dark days. Since morning he had felt 1 crpBS and would not even smoke. His pipe lay on his table with a pile of books and dusty papers. His to I bacco pouch reminded mm of Clara. She had embroidered it for him diir |. ing the week he had spent with her. ! Then,he was also reminded that he had promised to write and send De Mussels works. He felt unhappy at these thoughts, and remorse made him go out to repair his forgetful nesj. Thero is a knock at the door. The servant brings up a letter to him. It is from his mother. His drowsiness gives way as he reads the' lines. He gets up in a 1 passion, upsetting the table and ev- ' erything upon. it. Clara is to bo married, and in a week too! And he is expected to attend! the wedding 1 . "And whom does she marry, I . wonder ?" exclaims he. "Some com mon country lad, I- suppose. No, it cannot be! I must go there and j stop it. She cannot be sacrificed in i this way." Two hours later he started with a valise in one hand and a bundle un der one arm. It was Musset's works, j Clara met him at the garden gate. She was looking as fresh as the flow ers, and he, being conceited, thought that the happiness-expressed on her /face was des to his presence. She was less timid than last year and a little stouter. One could read her heart through her gray eye? anchor smiles. "Is what I hasa true* C&ra ?" "Certainly. I was about to write to yon. I waat y on here for the wed ding." "It is impossible!' "Quite possible and true." : ^fWith whom?" "With Ja?k, ?? course." "Ah, the scoundrel! "there is nothing like a friend to betray one." "Why, Albert, what a short mem ory yon have! Poor Jack would not speak of love before ho was quite sure of your feelings toward me. I am very thankful that you set him at liberty to. speak.

A Maine, me licai student who has been visiting in Auburn tells this grewsome, but not uninteresting, story about miracles. "I have, been at work/* eaid he, "in one of the largest city hospitals recently, and there were a large number of students who, like my self, were trying to get practical ex perience in surgery and other branches of the medical profession. Among the younger fellows was a student apparently without any nerves. He could stand up before the moBt trying operation irom tho very first without the quiver of a muscle. We ?ll decided that he was destined for greatness by tho short road. In the meantime ono of the \ leaders among the students (there is always a leader, you know) got a crowd of us together and held a council of war. 'Now, you say young S. hrujn? any nerves/ said ho. 'What do you say about m? king a test?' "It was agreed in a few minutes, ard the arrangements were made on ?.ne spot. Our young nerveless friend was to take his turn at a dif ficult operation that very evening. Accordingly, just before tho ap pointed time ono of the bravest of our set started for tho operating room. All was dark and otill as he crept under the operating tablo upon which the dead body lay. It should be explained that a wire had been connected with tho right arm of the dead body and led down un der the table within easy reach of the concealed man. Pretty soon, after what must havo been an in terminable wait for the man under the table, our nerveless young mas ter surgeon came into the room and began nis work. All at once our leader p led the wire, and the arm shot up straight into tho air about two feet. Our friend glanced up a moment, put it down and continued his work. Os if nothing had happen ed. After another half minute our leader pulled the wire again. Again the arm shot up as before, and again our student friend put it down in place with the same air of perfect .unconcern, while he resumed his work as before. Now, we who were watching behind the dot>r began to get impatient, and so did our leader under the table. Next time he gave the wiro a tug that nearly parted it from its fastenings, and this time the arm^shot straight over tho bent head of the young operator and stayed there like an avenging spirit. Our friend looked up from his work, took hold of the hand, put tho arm back in its place and, with the air of one completely absorbed in his work, murmured: "'There! "Stay there, will you? None of your miracles here!'"? Lewiston (Me.) Journal. The Gentleman From London.

"I don-t cure anything about your abstract knowledge, but what I yoil know about this case." "Oh, that isn't what you want," said the witness in an offhand way. "I've been trying to givo you that for some time, and"? The lawyer got in an objection, and the witness hod to stop. "If I don't want to know what you know about this particular case and nothing else," inquired the law yer later, "what do you think I want to know ?" That seemed so easy that the wit ness laughed as he said: "It isn't what I know that you want to know.

Nimbus, aureole and glory are the three terms often used indiffer ently to describe the halo encircling the heads of holy persons in pic tures. There is a well marked dis tinction between the terms, the ob servance of which is of importance in Christian iconography. The term nimbus is strictly confined to the disk or halo which surrounds the head/ aureole to +,hat which envel ops the entire pceeou, while glory is by the beet authorities applied t? the nnion of both. The nimbus iE of great antiquity. It is found in the art of India, Egypt and Greece. Its origin is supposed to be tho east. In ita oldest known form it was the attribute 'cf the Egyptian sun god Be and afterward of the Greek Apol lo. It was appropriated by Chris tian artists and became a necessary appendage in all representations of God or of the saints. Went Without Paying Duty.
