outward appoaranco went. Alfred llart
looked every inch an artist?that is,
the popular idea of one?with ids lone
hair, soft hat and velvet cout.
Disgusted with tho bad taste of tho
?'Academy," Alfred Hart betook him
solf to tho soaside, after writing a furi
ous articlo on favoritism to the nev -?
panor, which was not insorted.
Somo day, Alfred Hurt felt, he would
bo appreciated; but, in tho meantime,
ho would havo probably starved, had it
not been for a maiden aunt who allow
ed him so much a month in order that
he might pursue his studies.
Ho had boon pursuing his studies a
very long timo?being now, when our
story opens, tliirty-sovon.
Alfred Hart, on arriving nt the sea
side, wont immediately in search of a
lodging, his artistic paraphernalia un
der his arm.
At tho first house ho presented him
solf he had a vory unploascnt rebuff*.
"You'ro an artist! No, thank you!"
said tho landlady, "I couldn't take you
In."
"Why notP" asked our hero.
"Becauso," said tho landlady, put
ting her arms akimbo, 4Tvo heard that
artists don't pay."
"Yotf aro very insulting, madam!"
crid Alfrod Hart, indignantly. "Who
in ado such a soandnlous libel on our
honorablo profession P"
"I'm a plain-spoken woman," went
on tho landlady, "and I speak out
straight. My sister oneo lot her rooms
to an artist."
"And tho:resultP"
"Was that ho novor paid! I'd much
rathor take a pork-butchor than an ar
tist, and that's tho truth!"
"Thoro is a black shoop in oYory
Jlook," observed Alfred Hart. "I can
assure you that I altaaystoay my way."

Koasido landlady, ?'you'll havo no ob

Tho rooms salted Alfred Hart vory
woll, and ho took thom thero and tlion.
"Iioing an artist," said Mrs. Law, as
sho stood iu the parlor by the window,
"you will onjoy tho viow."
Tho view consisted of a long lino of
mud, for tho ^idd had run out.
"Yos! I .'.shall bo vory comfortablo
horo, no doubt," said Alfred, sinking
into an arm-chair that hftd a brokon
spring. "I supposo you have boon horo
too long to onjoy tho prospoct."
Mrs. Law eonfossod that sho didn't
sco much in it horself, as sho rattlod
tho "two jveoks in advance" in hor
pookot. *? *
When alono, whon Mrs. Law had
loft tho apartment, Alfred took tho
wrapper from tho rojoctod picture, and
gar,od upon it.
Ho was looking at it still whon Mrs.
Law entorod tho room bringing in tho
toa things. Now, Mrs. J^aw was a
woman of tho world, and understood
peonie s woaknossos.
"Why; what a'-beautiful picturo!"
sho orlod, lifting up hor hands in af
footod admiration. "Did you draw
that, sir?"
"Yes!" said Alfrod, with a pardona
blo glow of pride. "I painted that
pioturo."
"It's jdsC lovely H orid Mrs. Law.

Mrs. Lfiw readily aoquloscod; tho

"Neve* saw srich a daub in my llfo,"
obsorvod Mrs. Law, whon In tho pass

Delay is always dangerous. Our he

I hat very evening, dressed in his
best, ho showed himself at tho parlor of
"1 ho Pirate and Admiral."
John Nixon was soated at the end of
the table, with a long pipe in his mouth
?evidently he thought a great deal of
himself.
Hut our hero did not llud it so oasy
ns ho thought it would be to make John
Nixon s acquaintance.
He wai a grumpy, surly fellow, and
baldly answered Alfred when he
spoke.
After thr?!o evenings spent in vainly
trying to make friends, Alfred Hart
give it up in despair. However, chance
did for our hero what scheming could
not do.
One afternoon Miss Daffodil, happening
to fail asleep, was caught by tho tide,
plie awoke to find herself on a little is
land of .-and surrounded bv water.
Now. the probability is that had
there not boon a younsr nian present,
Miss Daffodil would have rushed
through the water, which was not
<juite two feet in depth; but a gentle
man being in tho way, she guvo vent to
a little shriek, saving:
"Save me! Save me!"
Pon<l?n,:ul wiis no other than
Albert Hart, and without tho least hesi
tation, after casting a glance at the
familiar red stocking*?for Miss Daffo
dil had gathered her skirts round her?
plunged into the water like tho hero ho
was.
"I will save you!" he cried.
You are brave, noble!1' sho cried
and the fair Daflbdil throw her arms
round his neck.
Once more he plunged through tho
rising water, and they were soon on dry
land. . J
"I am saved!" said tho girl, still en
twining hor arms round Alfred's neck.
?fair flower as sho was. "How can I
over thank you sufllciently for vour
gallant conduct?"
"Don't mention it," said Alfrod half
cliokod by the girl's fair arms. "It's a
pleasure to risk one's life for one so
beautiful."
Now it must be confessed that Miss
Daffodil was not what might be called
beautiful, though a fino-looKing girl of
about fivc-and-twcnty summers.
Iho next day, and the next, and af
tor that the}' met on the beach, walking:
sulo by side, tho pleasant sound of tho
restless waters in their ears.
She told him everything about hor
self, for Miss Daffodil was vory frunk
how sho had money in hor own rijrht,
and how her father did not wish her to
marry, because he would loose it.
At length, one lovely cvoning, our
hero asked the all-important question.
"Daflody, dearest Daffodil!" he said,
"I havo loved yon "
"Oh, Alfred!" hiding hor blushing
face in her hands.
"I havo lovod you," went on Alfred,
"over sinco I first saw thoso yellow

Why Ptala Girls ?*? ftwlmwl to llasd.
?mo Oo<m.
A lady who had soon ^nuch of the
world wu asked on one occasion why
f?lain girl* ofton get married sooner
baa h&ndsomo ones; to which ah? re
plied that it was owing mainly to the
tact of tho plain girls, and tho vanity
and want of tact on tho part of mon.
"How do you mako that outf" aakod
a gentleman. ^
??In this way," answerod tho lady.
??Tho plain girls flatter tho mon, and
so ploaso tholr vanity; whilo tho hand
sotno ones wait to bo flattered by tho
men, who haven't tho tact to do it."
Thoro havo boon cases, however, in
which tho situation presented hero has
been reversed, and plain, oven ugly,
mon have succeeded in making them
selves so agreeable to young ladies as
to becomo their accepted suitors, lloro
is a ease in point. Whon Sheridan first
mot his second wife, who was then a
Miss Ogle, years of dissipation had
sadly disfigured his once handsomo
feat uros, and only his brilliant eyes
were left to redeem a noso and cheeks
too purplo in hue for beauty. "What
a fright!" exclaimed Miss Ogle, loud
onough for him to hear. Instoad of be
ing annoyed by tho romark, Sheridan
at onco engaged her in conversation,
put forth all his powers of fascination,
and resolved to muko her not only re
verse her opinion, but actually fall in
love with him. At thoir second moot
ing she thought him ugly, but certain
ly fascinating. A weeTc or two after
wards, ho had so far succeeded in his
design that sho declared that she could
not live without him. Iler father re
fused his consent unless Sheridan could
settle ?15,000 upon her, and in his
usual miraculous way ho found tho
money.
Those who havo read Georgo Eliot's
"Felix Ilolt" will remember how Felix,
though himself a rough, unpolished
workman, gained the love of a refined
and delicately reared young lady, not
by flattering, or even attempting to
please and gratify her, but by chiding,
depreciating, and almost despising her
because sho read Byron, and knew
nothing of the heavy mental pabulum
on which he himself was woi i to feeiL
She was at first dreadfully vexed and
oflcndod; but bv-and-by she came to
believe that Felix had a grand moral
ideal, beside which her own was frivo
lous and insignificant; and striving to
emulate his exalted motives and views
of life, she made him her beau ideal,
with, of course, the usual result.
In theory or in novel this is no doubt
all very line, but in everyday life the
mode of procedure adopted by Felix
Holt would be, to say tho least, de
cidedly risky, and would very probab
ly end disastrously. It is always safer
to risk a little Mattery.

says tho old counlet; but a modern
counselor thinks it necessary to qualify
the adage bv the advice: "Never mar
ry a girl unless you have known her
throo days, and at a picnic." In this,
as in other matters, it is always desira
ble to hit the hanpy medium.
Marrying in naste is certainly worse
than a too protracted courtship; though
tho latter has its dangers, too, for
something may occur at any time to
break oil the affair altogether, and
prevent what might have been a happy
union. It may always be concluded
there is something wrong if Matilda
is obliged to say to her Theodore:
"Don't sit so far away from me, dear,
and turn your back on 1110 so; people
will think wo'ro married."
A friend of Robert Hall, tho famous
English preaehor, once askod him re
garding a lady of their acquaintance:
"Will sho make a good wife for me?"
"Well," replied Mr. Hall, "lean hard

Mr. Hall touched tho roal test of hap

At 12 o'clock wo wontbolow, and had
just got through dinner when tho eook
put his head down through tho seuttlo
and told us to come 011 dock and seo
tho flnost sight wo had ever seen.
"Where away, cook?" asked t lie first
man who went up. "On tho larboard
bow." And there lay floating in tho
ocean, several miles off, an immense,
irregular mass, its top and points cov
ered with snow, and its con tor a deep
indigo color. This was an ic.oborg, 0110
of tho largest size, as ono of our men
saitl, who had boon in tho Northefti
Ocean. As far as tho eyo could reach
tho Boa in every direction was of a deep
bluo color, the waves running high and
fresh and sparkling in tho light; and in
tho midst lay this immenso mountain
island, its cavltlcs and valleys thrown
into deon shade, and its points and pin
nacles glittering in the sun. All hands
wero soon on dock looking at it, and
admiring in various ways its beauty
nnd grandeur, but no description ean
give any idoa of the strangonoss, splen
dor and real sublimity of tho sight. Its
great si/.o, for it must havo been from
two to three miles in oircumferonco and
Rovoral hundred foot in height; its slow
motion, as its baso roso and sank in tho
water, and its high points noddod
against tho elouds, tho dashing of tho
wavos upon it, whloh, broaking high
with foam, covored its baso with a
whlto crest; tho thundoring sound of
tho cracking of tho mass, and tho
broaking ana tumbling down of hugo
plccos, togothor with fta noarnoss of ap
proach, whloh addod a slight olomont
of foar, all combinod to givo It a char
acter of truo sublimity. Tho main
l>ody of the mass was, as I havo said,of
an indigo oolor; its baso was crusted
with frozen foam, and, as it grew thin
and transparent toward tho edges and
top, Its color shaded off from a doop
bluo to tho whiteness of snow, it
soomed to bo drifting slowly toward the
north, so that, wo kept away and avoid
ed It. It was lu sight all the afternoon;
and, as wo got to leeward of it the
wind died away, so that wo lay to quito
noar it for the greater part of tho night.
Unfortunately, there was 110 moon, out
it was a clear night, and wo could
plainly mark tho long, regular heaving
of tho stupendous mass as its odgos
moved slowly against the stars. Sev
eral tlinos in our watch loud cracks
wero hoard, which sounded as though
they must havo run through tho whole
length of the Iceberg, and several pieces
fell down with a thundering crash,
plunging heavily into tho sea. Toward
morning a Ptrong breeze sprung up,
and at daylight It was out of sight.?

?A few days ago some miscreant
placed nn obstruction across the Queen
and Crescent Railroad tracks, near
I'nrvis, Miss. A passenger train
dashed into il ami was ditched. The
engineer was killed and several cars
wrecked and a number of passengers
injured. The railroad detectives have
succeeded in tracing the deed ton
merchant at Purvis, Miss. It was
ascertained that his cattle had been
killed by the train. He had appealed
for damages, and, failing to receive
any, was embittered against the ro.ul,
and took this means of wreaking ven
geance. Ilis son assisted him. The
populace were driven to fury over hi
diabolical deed and to-day at daybreak
took hifti from jail and handed him.
The wretch confessed the deed before
he was hanged and exonerated his
son. His name hns not been learned.
