THAT'S RIGHT. Mr. Anderson richley, af (cr. failing in tho law, and subsequently making Uti assignment asa merchant, wont lo a .small town and bought the journalistic out lit ol' a weekly paper. Ile was satis* lied that ho bad been called to perform the work of an editor, especially as ho was rallier a dull boy itt school, but inoro especially as his father had often said : "Anderson, 1 shall never bo sur prised to hear that you have starved to death." This declaration would have brought the shadows of discouragement to any young man except one designed for newspaper work, and as Anderson fell no depression, lie knew tit once Hip character ot his life's performance, though ho yielded lo persuasion ?ind went into other business. At last ho had settled down to the production of newspaper literature. The greasy old band-press was lo him a thing of beauty, though any one could have told him that it would not be a joy forever. Tho first issuo of tho Guardian tinder Iiis administration, contained ail ex haustive review of Blackstone's works, with footnotes complimentary lo Chilly, an editorial on national politics, ?i local notice commending Collins as tho lend ing merchant of the town, and a Halter ing personal mention of tinelo Andrew Boyd, who had como ill with a few chickens, which bb exchanged for plug tob?ceo, shu IT and moh\i?0H.

Tl-..-, printer, ?n oki tel lo vs wno had travers* ed much country, and had worked for many ambitious men, agreed with Anderson richley, giving him numer ous instances ol' sudden reputation and easily acquired wealth. "Now, anybody," said tho Hallend editor, "c;in write these light stories and make peoplo laugh; but earnest thought iiud honest expression tiro what the world needs. Take, for instance, Ibis article on Blackstone. I warrant you that these people know nothing ol' that great mail's history." "They never heard ol' him," replied the printer. "You aro right. Don't know that such ti man over lived. Haven't had au opportunity to learn ; but now, find ing that they have brion given an actual piece of informal ion, they will thirst for moro, sind thus increase Hie demand for my paper." Old man ILccklin, who lived near the village, enterod and said : "Look hero, I got your paper this morilla', expeetin' 1er find some- news; but yer havo lilied it up with a long urtickle what yer'd halter pay mo ter read." "Why, my dear sir," replied tho editor, "that is a critical examination 4>f Blackstone." "I don't koro of it's a '/amination o' ti whetstone, I don't want to read it. I Bigned fur yerpapor an' paid the money, but cf that's tho way yor'ro gobi' to carry on, gimme mo my money an' tako yer olo paper," and tho old man drew out a oopy of tho great journal and threw it on tho tablo. Tho editor could not, just at Unit time, refund tho money, but ho would remember tho amount and pay it when an opportunity presented itself. Tho old man, not al together satisfied, withdrew, and tho editor, turning to tho printer said: "That old fellow is a crank. Jfhe desires lo go on in his career of ignor ance, all right." "IIe don't amount to anything" im plied the printer, taking up a handful of type, striking it on tho stone and proceeding lo dislributo it in a battered old ease. "What article is that you aro tear ing down V" "Blackstone." "II. is ii pity to tear anything down so soon, but go ahead. Como in," as 6?me one rapped timidly on tho door. A wonderfully bright girl, in home-spun dress and nature-spun hair, entered. "My pap was hero jcs now," sho said, "an' wanted you to stop tho paper. I havo begged bim not to, for thar mont bo something in it after awhile Ho 'lowed that I mont do as I pleased, an' I wanted yer ter sond it on." "How eau such lips bo so ungram matical ?" mused tho editor, and then, with a manner embodying all of tho courtesy which ho could summon, ho brought a chair for tho girl, and bog ged her to sit down. ''Pap tolo mo tor toll yer not to say anything in yer paper 'bout his comln' hero, an' not tor sond his paper through tho post-ofiico, fur I'll como after it ovory week. Good bye," and tho bewitching smilo van ished. ..What a beautiful girl," said tho editor, "but, my slurs, how ignorant, j A fathor who would not send a child to school, and especially such a child as | this, is unworthy of respect." "That's what ho is," said tho old printer. "Tell you what I am half inclined to do-write something that I think will interest that girl. Tho older peoplo of tiiis community havo gono beyond re call, but tho young can bo gradually lcd into a desiro to know something." "That's what they can," replied tho old printer. "An old man might argue for years with me, and I would not yield an inch; but whon a beautiful girl, with sunny eyes, a spring-time mouth, ?ind a min gled complexion of lily and rose, inno cently drops a hint, why, it has effect," "That's what it does," agreed tho old printer. "Now, wouldn't you really adviso mo to drop tho heavy books of logic, and, for tho sake of tho young girl, ir for no one else, lake up tho breezy vol ume of every day events ?" "That's what I would," acquiesced tho old printer. Air. Anderson Pickloy thanked tho old man for his kind co-operation, and mentally vowed that if lo be light meant success, Ibo doors of prosperity, if not of fame, should open unto him. Ho went out among Ibo peoplo and collect ed littlo bits of their affairs, and inter viewed a prominent citizen concorning tho ciop prospects and tho likelihood of increased trade. Tho next issuo of tho Uiumlian was feathery in its lightness, and a humorous article which it con tained, a joke on a young man, who, while walking with a young lady, foll off a f j?t-iog into tho creek, .unused tho people greatly, and the minister, who it is to bo hoped, know moro gos pel than grammar, declared that it "mighty nigh tickled him to death, it Wits so powerful funny." When the girl carno to tho olllco again, tito editor ?old lier that she would lind a great ehangc in tho paper, not on account of what her father had said, but solely due lo her visit. Sho seem ed to bo highly pleased, although sho blushed in such radianco that tho editor could not i efrain from gazing at her in fixed tid m i ration. "You can read, I supposo," said Mr. Piokloy. "Uh, yes, fur 1 went tor school fur live months." "That was a very short time, my little lady." "I thought it was a mighty long time, fur tho teacher ho wouldn't lot mo eat lessen tho school wan't tuck in. I must go. Good-bye," and as she tripped away the editor saw her cover her taco with a heavy veil which she caught up from under a tree. "A most remarkable creature," bc mused, "but so very ignorant. I am half in love with her, and if it woro not for her lack of education, 1 do believe that I should eventually proposo to her. She could bo taught, and then she would adorn any home." >' " ??.'V.

"It wits lill duo to you, little girl." ' "To me V" looking up earnestly. "Yes, for no ono else could havo lit llucneed me to chango a plan which had fully matured in my mina." "What made ycr do so hinch fin nie ?" The old printer was not in the ellice. The editor and tho beautiful girl bad no listeners. "Because," he said, taking her hand; "because J love you-loved you the mo ment 1 .saw you. I know that you aro uneducated, but I. loved you with a glow of lovo that no learning could havo created." Ile kissed her, and leay I Hg a tear on his cheek, sho vanished like a ray of light when the blind is suddenly drawn. Standing under tho tree, where her veil had boen left, she turned, and pointing toil large house, whose tall roof appear ed among tho tree tops, said, in a voice that thrilled tho editor : "I live over there. You may como and seo me." Mr. Anderson Pickloy was puzzled. Ho sat down and mused over tho mys terious porfornianco. Her last words, spoken in a volco changed to most musi cal sweetness, failed to show ignorance, which had so troubled tho newspaper man. "I shall go over there immedi ately, for I'll bo hanged lr 1 can afford to neglect my paper and worry my brain with turning this fifteen puzzle round and round." After giving a few touches lo his toillct, and arranging as best he could his not very elaborate wardrobe, ho walked over to the tall house. Ho ask ed a negro if Mr. Mooklin lived there, ?md tho negro replied : "Doan know mithin' 'bout no Mr. Ilecklin. Dis heall's whar Col. Wel kin libes. Y'ander's do Colonel on do poach, sab." Aloro mystery, and tho editor would have turned' back, but a eheory volco called : "Como in." Tho editor went in. A dignified old gentleman carno forward with a hearty laugh. "Mr. Pickloy," ho said, "you must excuso my little deception. Sly name isWolkin. Ah I bore's Dora. She will oxplain." An olegantly dressed young lady, tho girl who had como after her father'? paper, appeared, bowed gracefully, and said : "Como into tho parlor." Scated in an olegantly furnished apartment, tho editor, still howildorcd, looked around. "Of course you aro astonished, and I must first toll you what a peculiar girl I am hoforo you will excuso tho freak, which has no doubt caused you somo perplexity. I saw you shortly after your arrival, and longed to mako your acquaintance. I wanted to know you us ?in ignorant country girl, and ui'li i tho Hist issue of your i><i))er appeared, I implored my father to disgut ij Idhi ?''< and call on you, which as yon knovi j lie did.

FASHION NOTES. -Whlto is introduced into every thing whore it can bo, with good taste, oven as lining to revers at tho sides of skirt?, which is a stylo recently intro duced. Those rovers, it I may call them so, aro really formed by a pieco of material reaching from tho waist to tho edgo of tho skirt, or sometimes it is tho edgo of tho perpendicularly draped tunic plaited up to hang loose and fall in zigzag fashion, BO that tho colored lining shows, lt is gener ally on tho right side, and placod rather forward. --Court costumes, tennis, and cotton dresses aro now occupying attention. For tho first, thero is some attempt to resuscitate old-fashioned embroidered muslins and nets that have lain in boxes or wardrobes for many, many years, and probably belonged to tho youthful days of tho mother and grand mother of tho present debutante. Plenty of laoe and ribbon aro mixed Iii; and the muslin, soft and clinging, is draped over silk, with tho bodice and train of satin Merveilleux or lustrous faille. Watered silk is greatly in vogue, and skirts aro mad o of lt, with oltlier lace or thc most delicate fancy gauze draped over it. Black is particularly fashionable for smart afternoon toilets. Tho china cropo waistcoats in white, pink, heliotrope and red aro most popu lar. They aro usually arranged in slanting folds and decrease Into almost a point. Ono yard is required for tho gathered ones. They aro also worn in tailor-made light tweed suits, espocial ly in whito or palo pink, with light fawn or gray. -A new way of showing off a locket, or a handsome pendant, is to wear it on tho left breast, attached to a dainty little bow of satin ribbon, corresponding with the trimming of the costume. This has been introduced at a few recent smart weddings. The fashion of fancy bonnet pins, or "sc ourers," a3 tiley aro sometimes de nominated, Is on the increase. Tho stringloss bonnets and some hats are kept on tho head by those pins. Light colored tortoiseshell, with jet attached to it, is tho newest style, such as a largo needle of tortoise-shell, with a pair of birds' wings in French jet at ?achod to it, after tho fashion of Mer cury's weapon, or a sword, with a jot lizard creeping along it. Combs aro great'y worn in tho turned up hair, which ls now tho general style of coif fure. Tho most curious miniature toys are to be Been, intended for placing in hats, such as whips, a mast with a sail attached, a small gamo bag, otc. Bul? rushes, lu alarmingly unnatural colors, adorn some hats and bonnets. In the way of pretty souvenirs thero are little cases, with two or three pins in them, with an initial letter in pearls on each. If tho recipient havo th reo Initial let ters, then there aro threo pins. These are Intended for bonnet strings, or lace, and are glvou just now for wed ding, birthday or bridesmaid's prose?is. jj'aiiiiols rm1 ? pr,'. ; ?g und ?.unn. < r ? wear are'hi-gP* km*,'-bandied ;. ul ! its lie;) on show lei: gold ot silv i-point ! . il?:?.

Point d'esprit ls tucked, and then laid over parasols of tinted satin duchess. Elegant looking parasols of golden-brown satin, lined with plain primrose silk, are striped with dark brown velvot on each gore, and fin ished around Ibo edge with a plaited frill of pr i mrose-colorod cropo lisse, embroidered in silks of wood colors, shading from faintest Wilton yellow to deepest bronza. These parasols have willow handles, handsomely carved, and inlaid with bits of dark wood vari colored. Loss novel styles aro shown in parasols of rich black or white lace of superb pattern, over foundations of satin In every conceivable shade. There aro also many inexpensive sun shades, of which mention should bo mado, particularly of th03o of pongee embroidered with daisies. -Carmelite is a favorite material for cool morning or traveling woar, in gray or fawn.* Jackets of tho same, and capos with hoods, lined, with whlto or color, aro worn. Cropon is a popu lar fabric, and somewhat resembles a crlnklod-surface nun's veining, lt is to be seen in all colors, and looks es pecially well in navy bluo, with whito or fawn voat and trimming, or In soft palo gray. Heliotrope is 119t very popular. It ls try In ? to most complex ions, and yet a great many people do wear it because it is recommended by dressmakers and milliners. Tho now cottons of tho season aro pretty. The palo heliotrope, navy bluo crossed with narrow red or whito lines, tho shades of gray and rod, and thicker kind of ribbed Indian cambrics, are all popu lar. One of tho many ways bf making them up Is with a plain foundation skirt, two and a half yards wide, bord ered by a plaiting some llvo or six Inchon deop, thon a deep tunic, cut nearly two yards long, caught up in plaits at each sido, far back, and the back mounted in gathers at tho waist, and either bunched up, or, as drosa makors express lt, "pushed up." Tills pushing up is achieved by allowing half a yard extra In tho length of tho ma terial, and catching up so that tho ful ness overlaps, and roally looks as If two bands had pushed it up. In front the horizontal folds only reach to tho knees, so that tho m ato ri al hangs plain beneath, and is raieed just enough to show tho plaiting round the odgo of the skirt.
