bHE WAS A PHANTOM OF DELIGHT.
She was n phantom of delight
When first site glennied upon my sight—
A lovely apparition, sent
T«> be h moment's ornament,
Her eyoi ns stars of twilight fair;
' e twilight's, t<si, her dusky hair,
( all things elst- shout her drawn
tin May tune and tlie cheerful dawn —
A dancing shape, an image gay,
To haunt, tostaitleund waylay
1 saw tier, upon nearer view,
A spirit, yet a woman, too;
Her household motions light and free
And steps of virgin liberty,
A countenance in which did meet
Bweet records, promises as sweet—
A creature not too bright or good
For human nature’s daily food,
For transient sorrows, simple wiles,
Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears and smiles
And now 1 see with eye serene
The very pulse of the machine,
A being breathing thoughtful breath,
A traveler between life and death,
The reason firm, the temperate will,
Endurance, foresight, strength and skill,
A perfect woman, nobly planned
To warn, to comfort and command.
And yet a spirit still and bright
Witli something of an angel light.
—Wordsworth.
MY MANAGEMENT.
I began my plans us soon as Uncle
Hunk’s funeral was fairly over. Per
haps it might have been a little before.
Certain it was that I did not care to go
away out west for that occasion and
reflected that ho would not at this time
be able to take umbrage at the sight.
The very thought of his great barulike
old bouse standing in the midst of great
bleak pastures filled with ferocious cat
tle and bounded by wind twisted dra /s
gave me a spell of the horrors. Low
Uncle Henry (I ought to call him by
that name now he’s dead) ever made
such a great fortune out there I never
could understand, except that it was by
stock raising. Well, he was gone now,
and all of his thousands could come
into civilized use. They were all left to
my cousin Charlie, his only child.
Undo Henry had been a widower for so
many years that I cannot picture any
time when he could have been under a
woman’s influence. No need to say that
life for Charlie bad been barren of any
thing like pleasure unless helping ac
cumulate money could be called pleas
ure. I believe mankind does consider it
such, but womankind takes another
view of the matter. Charlie was a most
comfortable sort of boy, and for his
sake I had spent some little time every
other year in the far west in order that
tho boy might have an idea of what
woman is like. Now ho was in full pos
session of that immense fortune, and I
must seo to it that he bad a future that
should recompense for such a past. Just
2- ho was and not a bad looking fel
low after I hud helped him into the
right sort of clothes. The thing was, of
course, to marry him to one of my
friends and so put tho money where we
all might have a little comfort from it.
If I have one trait of which I am just
ly proud, it is my ability to manage,
and I determined that this country
cousin of mine should marry one of our
most attractive girls.
“ We’ll go into tho country this sum
mer, Alfred,” I said to my husband*
‘and take a few people for Charlie to
meet. Ho will bo all right in the coun
try, but I must confess ho must serve a
full probation before I undertake a town
season with him. I hope I may marry
him before then.”
“To some one else, I presume. May j
ask whom?”
“I sliall invito Mao Hatherell.”
Alfred drew a long breath. “You
aim high for tho young galoot.”
“Well, I would love to have Mao for
a cousin. Shu is the sweetest girl I
know.”
“No doubt Charlie will think so, too,
but Miss Mao is one of the handsomest
young ladies in the city, aside from her
music. She thinks she could go on the
stage, if she wanted to, and stagestruck
girls aro hard to catch.”
"No money could hire Mao to go on
the stage,” I responded, all the more
emphatically because 1 fear I am not in
tho right.
“Of course not, since she has money
enough auyway, tut there are other
considerations. Any one else?”
“That pretty little Carroll Church
ill.”
“You aro all right there. She will
have to marry money, and Charlie will
have a chance, if he doesn’t fall in love
with Mao, which he is certain to do.
Will you take Alice and Frank?”
The last named are unengaged couple
who go with us everywhere; so, of
course, that is understood. Now comes
the question I am expecting from my
worthy husband:
“Will there bo any one I can enjoy
myself with?”
I know well enough whom he wants,
and since it is going to he a little more
expensive before I am through with it
than lie now knows, and also because I
am wise enough to know that only a
foolish woman will attempt to avoid
tho lady her husband openly admires, I
humor him and say:
“I shall surely ask Constance."
“Will she come, do you think?” His
luterc 1 . is lively enough now.
“I happen to know that she wants
just such a quiet little time this sum
mer. She is tired of going places.”
"I'd ask her right away before any
one else does, if I were you,” and I
know very well Alfred won’t let the
matter rest until it is settled.
Constance Merrick was a friend of
mine when I was a girl, but if one has
every reason to suspect that she refused
the very man I married it is not a pleas
ant reflection, even after I have been
married to him nine years and over and
she is still free. (Free is a better word
than single as applied to h<#"tai|j%igk I
wrote that first.) If ^e en
joys freedom, it is t LJ^No one
ever thinks of how } jffpast :10, if
they knew of it, although year after
year she lias been the principal person
age in our social circle. There is noth
ing handsome about her, except that
wonderful yellow red hair of hers. But
xho is young with a Cleopatra kind of
youth and interesting beyond any wom
an I ever saw. fcjbe has no especial ao-
umiplibhuieuts, only that knack of in
teresting every man, woman or child
upon w bom she cures to spend her time.
She likes married men. She says it is
because they can't take it into their
heads to uiniry her, and I believe her
when she says it, for she has refused
every mail who ever did aspire to such
a tiling, and 1 don't doubt that they are
legion. 1 say u’’ • of her honestly,
•ml yet I don't . even fbough I
like her company. Mu young girls
who are not so sma> , who confide in
me and tell me I i iu the dearest litjtlo
woman on earth, girls like Mao, Alice
and Carroll.
My inunogemeut is always perfect.
I'hurcfore wo had just tho people 1 want
ed and just I be charming little country
place. (Charlie helped with tho rent.)
Charlie was indeed quite superior to
what I bud expected of him. They con
sidered hid loud way of laughing so
realistic. His ruddy features were a
pleasant change from the other young
men He was just bashful enough to
give him an individuality. That is, ho
could talk well enough to the entire lot
of ladies, but with one alone he was
tongue tied, and ho would rather that
Alfred turned Mao’s music for her.
Before two weeks passed Mae said to
me, “I think young men from the west
arc far more interesting than those one
meets here. ” In th< excess of my joy I
put both bauds on her shoulders and
looked right into her eyes. “Do you
i really mean that, dear?” and she pushed
mo away in a pit ffully vexed manner, i
but admitted time of course she did.
My path was clear. 1 must help that
inexperienced youth to draw in tho
| prize he had 1 coked. It, was two days
before I got a chance to do it. I noticed
in tho meantime that in his bashfulness
lie dared not attach himself to any of
i the ladies except Constance. This bad
' escaped my attention before, but she
| could no doubt draw out the best there
J was in him and surely she was very
I patient with him, allowing him to
l usurp Alfred on several occasions,
| which I felt to be self denial on her
part.
“Are you going to drive to the vil
lage with Constance?” I hailed that
worthy on his way to the stables.
“Guess not,” he replied shortly.
“She and Charlie aro going on their
wheels. He’s gone in now to put on his
suit.”
Up to Charlie’s room I rushed, catch-
| ing sight of his coattails as I turned the
stairs. Calling him to wait a moment
I hurried into his room before he had
time to repress mo.
“There, now, I have never a chance
to seo yon a moment unless I scheme
for it. I want to talk to you. Yondou’t
want to change your suit anyway. I’ve
something better on hand for you this
evening than cycling with Miss Mer
rick. ”
“Couldn’t possibly have anything
better, coz.,” ho said, diving into the
closet and bringing out bis suit.
“Yes I have too. Now put thoso
things down and don’t hurry me.”
“But MissMerirck will bo waiting.”
“Oh, no, Constance won’t care. She
would much rather ride with Alfred,
, and I have something lovely to tell you
about Mac.”
“Bother Mael What do I want to
know about her?”
“Why, Charlie, I am surprised at
you.”
“I don’t know why you should be,
when I have an engagement with an
other young lady. I don’t care any
thing about Mae, anyway.”
“ You don't?”
“Certainly not if there is a chance
for spending an hour with Miss Mer
rick, “and Charlie actually kicked oil
his shoes and wont into the closet again
i after his tans.
“Cousin Charles, ” I said in alarm,
j “what do you mean? Constance Merrick
! is older than I am, a good ten years
older than you.”
Charlie dropped his shoes. “This is
the first time I ever heard you allude
to your age in such a way. Mate, I
supposed you were about two years
younger than myself.”
“You are making fun, of course. She
is, though.”
“If she wore one of Noah’s daugh
ters, I must still say 1 prefer a bicycle
ride in her company to anything that
you may hatch up for this evening, and
you really must excuse me while I get
ready.”
“I will not go one step until you tell
me. Are yon in love with Constance
Merrick?” H6 bent down and tied his
shoestring and looked up with blushes
enough for a girl and said gently:
“Don’t ask so many questions, Mat-
tie.” And then ho went into the closet
and shut tho door. I knew if I didn’t
want him to smother in there I must
j give up and go down stairs again.
Late that night I took Alfred to task
I in words full of meaning: “Why
J haven’t you kept Constance out of Char
lie’s way? The young greenhorn is in
love with her.”
“Good enough. Suppose it’ll make a
match?” I cannot hear Alfred when he
talks like that.
“As if Constance would marry the
king and all his courtiers I”
“I should hope not,” said that pro
voking man, “though I doubt not she
1 sings better in a chorus choir than a
i duet.”
There is nothing to do with such a
; stupid man but let him go to sleep, but
| in tho morning my mind was made up.
I would send for Laurance Hadmoro. It
was the only way out of the difficulty.
Mr. Itadmore was the one man that it
was thought possible Constance might
marry. The two were just made for
each other. Every one realized it. He
was tho grandest looking man I ever
saw, although his features were posi
tively ugly, with that great Roman
nose and sharp gray eyes. It wus hie
shoulders and the way he carried his
I head that made you thiuk he was some
great personage, and when you listened
to him talk you knew at once that his
was a greater intellect than any otl/br
in the assembly, no matter of whom it
was composed. Mr. Hadmoro and Con
stance had a profound admiration for
each other and never willingly missed
an opportunity to enjoy each other's
company. I knew he would accept my
invitation, and when ho did so I felt a
little toui li of conscience. A person of
my sagacity would lui’dly Lo expected
to invite a man like Mr. Kuduiore into
a company of girls like Mar, Alice and
Cairo!]. Indeed I did not know what
•xcusc I should make to their muminus,
but in spite of the past record of Lau-
ran c Rudmorc, something must be dune
to save Charlie from Ins pending fate.
Constance, of course, was above re-'
prom h, no mutter whose record was in
question.
The morning that Mr. Itadmore ar
rived Charlie and Constance had gone
1 over to a neighboring siieep farm to get
a pet lamb for her. It seemed to me
that she might have found Charlie lamb
enough, if her taste was for pets of that
sort. Hhe looked very witching with
tho white little bit of a thing cuddled
in her urnis against a trim black gown
and the suuiisiiiue on her yellow hair,
j To hear her laugh you would not have
believed that she could not sing a note
or that she was an hour over 20. Mr.
Kaduiore was a surprise to her, and she
gave mo a look that said very plainly,
“Oh, I understand t” But she deter
mined to keep Charlie at heck and call.
Yet even for the pleasure of spiting me
she could not keep to her resolution and
devote her time to him. The fascina
tion Mr. Hadmoro possessed for her was
too great, and he had not been there
two dais till I saw with delight that
Charlie was left to hia own devices.
The dear boy was not very good na-
tured over it. Ho suspected my maneu
ver and at once turned to Alfred for
sympathy. I suppose they had a mutual
cause against Mr. Hadmore, and for that
reason they were drawn toward each
other. At any rate, Charlie refrained
from giving me any confidences. Conse
quently much that I relate from this
on is gathered from Alfred’s observa
tion and subsequent confidences. Alfred
is not one of those perfect husbands
that for the most part belong to widows;
but, thank fortune, he will sooner or
later tell his wife all matters of inter
est that come to his knowledge.
Constance and Mr. Hadmore glided
easily into their familiar relations, and
Charlie showed all his early bringing up
by becoming at once the most uninter
esting of farmers. Laurance Hadmore
used to look at him with those quizzical
gray eyes and smile knowingly. One
day ho said to Constance, “It’s a pity
that country boy has fallen in love
with you.”
“Indeed you compliment mo, but
your surmise is not cor.ect. ”
Then Mr. Itadmore assumed his ju
dicial air and said, "You would not try
to tell me that you are not cognizant of
an affair of this nature, with all your
experience?”
“The hoy has hi too bashful to pay
attention to any one else, and I have
helped him out. I have not done a bit
of mischief. I may have bothered Mae
a little, as she wants to marry him to
one or tho ether of the girls.”
“And you have made that an impos
sibility for him.”
“Well, no, though I fancy he is not
in love with either of them.”
“Which hj would bo had you allow
ed him.”
“Mr. Hadmore, you are exasperat
ing.”
“No. I am exasperated.”
“By me?”
“Thou sayest it. Tho boy has th*
making of a fine fellow, but bis expe
rience with you will ruin him.”
“Nonsense. The little attention I
have shown him will give him an in
sight into woman’s ways, and it will be
easier for him to succeed when ho really
falls in love. ”
“Ho will not fall in lovo again.”
“Hash statement. Ho is but 22.”
“Men never love but once.”
“Yon aro increasing in rashness.
‘Who most has lovod tho host can love
again.’ "
“That applies only to women. A
woman’s first love affair paves the way
for all others. Its only value to her is
by way of experience and to sentimen
talize over, like her first ball.”
“ You dure assert that men have but
one love?”
“Only one in which they take the
leading role. In all others the woman
leads. That is, they do tho loving, and
men delight in the flattery of being
loved. That’s why men marry. ”
“Do they never marry for love?”
“Tho instances aro rare. Every story
turns out that way, but in real life it
takes a detective to find such a case.”
“And tho result when they do?”
“You must draw on your most rose
colored imagination.”
“You intend I should accept this as
your candid observation?”
“As the truth itself. I speak as a man
who knows, aud I respect your intellect
too highly to try to deceive you.”
“Well,” she said, rising, with a
pretty gesture of conviction, “I believe
1 11 marry Charlie, and then I’ll know
as much about it as you do.”
He was on his feet us if aided by eleo*
tricity. “No, you will not, ” and then
bo qualified his statement, “because in
ten years you will have outgrown biw.
He is still in infancy, while yon are 82
years old.”
“Do you know,” she smiled sweetly,
“that my mother is G7 years old and a
few weeks ago an insurance agent want
ed to write her a policy at 42?”
“And you expect to discount your
age 25 years likewise?”
“Not just yet, but I never mean to
be any older than I wish, and a love
such as you have hinted at ought to
prove an elixir of youth.”
She married Charlie before the win
ter season commenced, and I have the
bitter certainty that Constance Merrick
will get to spend all that money with
out availing herself in the slightest of
my management. As to Mae, Charlie
says if he and his wife want music they
can enjoy it at the Grand Opera. Well,
of course they can afford it.—E. D.

J. W. Scherer, in his “Daily Life
During tho Indian Mutiny,” says that
when the rains fell, bringing with them
fever and cholera, tho horrors of the
campaign were, of course, redoubled
When tho outbreak caino, some men,
bolding isolated positions until the last
moment of safety, were compelled to
flee through almost incredible difficul
ties and dangers.
One man, Mowbray Thomson, when
interrogated about the hardships he had
undergone, spoke of them with tho ut
most simplicity, as if they were ordi
nary circumstances, to bo looked for in
“the day’s work” of life.
“Some years after a London banker,
sitting next me at dinner, began talk
ing about Thomson, and asked me if I
bud met him. 1 told him that I had
seen him every day for a year or two.
“ ‘Wdl,’ said ho, ‘I met him once in
London, «iud I shall never forget an an
swer ho made to a quo .tion of mine. ’
“ ‘What was the question?’
“I a^ked him, ‘When you got once
more among your countrymen, and tho
wholo terrible thing was over, what on
earth was tho first thing you did? 1
" ‘Did?’ cried bo. ‘Why, I went and
reported myself as present and ready
for dutv!’ “

then said I hud rheumatism It con
