THE LOVERb' QUVAME. "Never, while I live," said Miss Rashleiga, "never while I live, will -I see your face again!" She' ieA* I yrhen s)e said.it, and as she spoke, ane threw her betrothal ring towards her lover, who had offended her. It missed him, and rolled down upon the floor, and over the sill of an open ohina-closet-one of those old fashioned closets that used,to stand on either side of the mantlepiede. She did not notice wh6relt iolled; he did though; and after she had left the room, he turned to pick it up. The ring she had.wokn would always be precious tohim. Miss Rashleigh went straight to her own room, as miserable a girl as ever lived; and a moment later Grandmother Rashleigh bustled into the drawing room, pushed the open closet door to, picked up the fallen magamzie, set the annuals and books of poetry straight en the table, pulled down the shades, ar ranged the oltairs mathematically against the wall, and bustled out again. "I've had these things fity years," she said to herself; "and there's Corne lia and her beau with no more respect for them than if they were that much lumber." .P Thei she"losed the door behind her, and went away to her own room up Pitairs, where a fine silk patchwork quilt vas in the frame, a surprise for said borneha. Grandma Rashleigh gave every young persoh of the family something of .her own manufacture on his or her wedding day. "Now," the old lady had said, a dozen times, to Tripheny King, who was help ing her; "I really think Cornelia will have the best thiog I've done; and there's a bit in it of every handsome silk there's ever been in the family, and of her father's and grandfather's wed ding Vests.

"I had reasoU - to' be" ingry, Mrs.t Spear," said Cornefia, proudly; "good reason; and I took off my ring, and gave it back, and went. out of the rooI-t, That is all I know.

Cornelia had kept up bravely until now; but when her two friends turned upon her thus, she gave a little scream, and fell over on the sofa. She was in a' dead swoon, and the watdr they sprink led in her face did not bring her to. Grandma grew frightened. "I hope it -isn't an attack of heart disease," she said. "Poor child! she looks as if rhe were dead." "Oh, don't say that!" oried the mother. They gathered around Cornelia; and did all they could for her; and soon she recovered, and sat up, but all her pride was gone. - "Oh, dearl-0h, dear!" ohe -sobbed. "I wish I had died!

Plumburs. When Potts began tiis married life, th watchword enitravAd on hid memory wai "Beware of the plumber." The awft destinies of numbers of friends, who ha foolishly been inveigled into poverty an distress by this fiend; loomed up before hi eyes, continually reminding him of hi motto, until he grew to consider himself public benefactor in endeavoring to sup press this inhuman monster. But in an evil hour, durmng the family' absence in the country, the wash bolle began to leak and the plumber glided 1I through 'the basement door. From the timeo the house seemed bewitchedt. Two days afterward the hot water pIp blew his range to atoms,and the servant t glory, the boiler began to leak at evei conceivable point; anid, after the scon story basin had been overflowed two day in succession, the parlor ceiling reminde one of a colander, with ancient freseoln belween the holes. These repans ha Scarcely been completed when the tan on the roof began to fill and resisted a Potts' eftorts to turn off the wat ir, and si hours' steady running very materially in creased the damage. The plumber we then engaged regularly f or thres days the week, and the adjoining house hare to be used for the storage of lead papi tools, e,, which were bought by tI cargo. During the first week of the piuii ber's engagement, every faucet in boi houses began leaking badly, sand all ti basins were stopped up twice a day, ar the third week Potts was compelled to pi ward screens ini all the Windows of his bc rooms to prevent the occupants flaating o' during the naiht. In themidst of these entertainments ti plumber reminded him that lead was risir owing to So much beIng used for counte felt money purposes. And three monti aft,er the plumber's first appearanace owned and resided in the house, whi Potts lhved in the garret and worked helper to him, half his wages each wet being forfoated to pay off ,tho balance the bill. ________ The C1othng of Meta and Women.

In January, 1685, La Salle, the Frenoh Le discoverer, with a feet4 of, three vesels,e. te having on board a colny intended for the tO mouth of the Mississippi river,driven from >f ia course, landed at Padre Island. Be la comng satisfld that they had been driven o far west of their destination, they re-em :o barked and turned the prows of their ves d sets eastward. Several families destined a for the new colony, heartily sick of their e sea experience, asked to be left here, were e granted permission, and put ashore with g provisions and farming inplements.

Ih Decekii4er, 1820, a terrible - gale visited th'e reiant of 'the little colo ny, during wht a 'Vesel was washed , ashore on theisland. It proved to be a 1 felucca belonging to the squadron of Jean , Lafitte. The colonists secured three men a from the wi-eck, who proved to be, in a character, well fitted for the services of f the renownea pirate. Their names were 5 Plerre-Largos6, Paul-Baptiste And Joseph 1 Arnoux; hlccnamed Hecules cn account 3 of his Immeiise stature and' prodigious a strength. From the timbers of the wreck k ed telucea they constructed a small vessel and were for years after the disappoarauce of Lafitte engaged In depredating on the B commerce of the gulf, leading many to be 3 lieve that Laitte was attli alive and at his 3 old trade. So theroughly,acquaintod were r they with the shoals, channels and ilauds 3 of this part of the gulf that it was impos sible to capture them. As a further pre ) cautionary measure, 'they-in 1840-re f moved their headquarters to a point now I designated as McGloin's bluff, and in those I turbulent days their retreat was as safe as a human foresight could have seleoted. Dar.

When the water had risen so high as to menace their safety the party tore down their house, constructed ; from it a raft, a.ad placing women and children in a boat the men tooli to the raft. on which was loaded their valuablej, and were rapidly driveh to the Corpus Christi bluff. The boat upset before reaching the land, and all on board were drowned. The e raft struck the hill near the present .10si , dence of Mr. Uussett, and so fierce were i the waves that in a few moments it was d dasheil in pieces. Two men reached the d banks in safety. The balance, with the ** aceumnuirted spoils of 20 years, went to Li the bottoim. No sign of the treasure ur of a the unfortunate men was ever,. found.

A case was told me in Oregon of a Coohe railway laborer who had an arm broken,- It was sot by the company's doctor, and was doing well, but the man's comrades insisted on bringing a Chinese doctor to attend him. The doctor came fram a distant camp and gave the patient a dose, In an hour the poor fel low was dead. In such cases there is no Investigation; nobody cares that there Ma one Chinaman less. The death of a cart. horse is of much more cansequenco. Hunting in Onmnpanieg. Squirrel hunts continue to be one of the annual customs of Vermont accord ing to the good old practice of dividing the local Mimrods into two parties, each side electing a captain and each endeav oring to outstrip the othcr in the "count" of game killed, the defeated side furn ishing a supper to the visitore. There were several of these hunts during the past season, one of them being conduct ed by the students of Middlebury Co11ego; but the scores in these days are very small compared with what they used to be in the good old times. A curious memorandum, or game record, belong lug to one James Warden, of Peacham, a mighty hunter, has just been discov ered, and extracts from it have been printed in sone of the State papers. In the days of Janies Warden-1882 and thereabouts-the annual squirrel hunt Nimrods of all ages, fromt syl haired grandsiro, with his long-barreled, lint-look Queen Anne arm, to the youth )f ten or twelve, with a musket sawed 3ff at breeeh and mlizzle to accommodate &h% arm to his sleader strength. It was no small matter to count the head4 md tails of the slain in those Gays, 0 aumerous were they, and the judges, boo, had to be men of a good deal of keenness, for the rival hunters would do their best to cheat, often presenting Dhickens' heads for partridges' and squirrels' tails that were by no means fresh for the occasion. According to in old memorandum, James Warden, in the year 1882, killed 4,649 animals and 8,176 birds. Of the former,, 2,850 were squirrels, and of the birds, 1,000 were owls. An oild Uhurch in Arisona. The most interesting of all sights is the grand old mission church of San Xavier, nine ilies from Tucsonz, on tiole PapaLgO reservation. This mission was founded in 1054, when the Papago (or Pima) ITidians were supposed to have acc.epted the Uhiat ian religion. The'ehuirch ot San Xavier was begun about the year 1700 and fin ished in l1798, excepting one of the towers, which is yet unf'nished. The style of ar chitecture is Moorish.- The lines are won derfully perfect. it is in the term of a cross, 70O by 116 feet, and has a well formed dome. A balustrade surmounts all the wall. The front is covered with scroll-work, intricate, lnteresting and partly decayed. Over the front is a lire size bust of St. Xavier. Thu interior is literally covered with frescoes. 'rho altar is adorned with glded scroll work, The statues are as numerous as the paintings. T1he tiling on the floor is much defaced, very little being left. That of the root is nearly allps perfect as when laid. Its manufacture is one of the lost arts. There is a ci'me of four good-sized bells in the tower, that have a soft, sweet sound. As condling to the roof, you walk up long narrow stairs in solid walls. But one can go at a time. The same is true in going to the gallery of the church. It is marvel ens that so long ago, and in such'a place, such architecture, ornaments, paintings and sculpture were so well executed. Petes'orughE:athedrai. The recent failure of the central tower of the Peterborough Oathedral, .lngland, has brought out a serIes of reminiscences. it is said that in 1107 Bishop Walkelyn's huge tower at Winchester fell, in horror at having the foul*8orpse of the detested Rufus burled beneath it; and how, two centuries later, that of El1y came crashing down as the startled monks were going up to their dormitory on the ove of St. ECrmin,lda; how ma 1285 the preaee's denunciation of the cruel persecutions of hiniself anid his brother canons by ilishop (Grosteste was credited with tne ruin of the predecessor of the ezcquisite "B5road Tgiwer" -which,.crowns thstt "sovereign hill" of Lincoln, how the "ti6W Tower" fell at W9rcester in 11'l5, and the centtral tower at MI.eshafth about -1218, iid tlie two upp t'stories of thd .tbdor of 5t.

We walk upon the votge .of t*o words at oUr feet lies the very grave In character, in manners i styl in ill things, the supreme extellence is simplicity. Zeal without humility is likQ a ship without a rudder, liable to be stranded at any moment. Though we travel the world over to find beautiful, we must carry it irith us, or we find it not. 1 have sought repose everywhere, and have only found It in a little corner with a little book. We ought not to judge of man's meriLs by his qualifications but by the use he makes of them. There is no area In which vanity dis plays itself under such a variety, of forms as in conversation. That man comes off with honor who governs his resentments instead of being governed by them. We are so used to disguise ourselves to others, that at last we become dis guised even to ourselves. Cares are often more doilcult to throw off than sorrows; the latter die with time, the former grow upon it. Bashfulness may sometimes exclude pleasure, but seldom or ever opens any avenue for sorrow or remorse. Attrition is to the stone what good influences are to the man; both polish while they reveal hidden beauties. The parent who SoUI d trini up a child in the way he ould go, must go the way he would train up his child in. Relations are people who imagine they have a right to rob you if you are rich, and to inoult you it you are poor.

I . Ask often, in your hours of bustle, where is the heart now? They only are too busy who forget God in their business. The more we have to read the more we have learned, the more we have meditated the b0tter conditioned we are to affirm that we know nothing. It is every man's duty to labor in his calling, and not to des ad- for any miscarriage or disappon tmets that were not in his own power to prevent. Our lives are like some complicated machine, working on one side of a wall and delivering -the finished fabric on tihe other.' The work is in our hands the completion is not. Man is, beyond dispute, the most vilest animal is a dog; but the sages agree that a gateful dog is better than an ungratefu man, False happiness renders men stern and proud, and that happiness is never cominunicated. Tirue happiness ren ders them kind and sensible, and that happiness is always shared.* Our life experiences, whether sad or joyful, should be fertilizers to a larger atna stronger growth of charaoser, as the dead leaves of trees stinmulates them from year to year to higher and nobler proportions. .He who is great when he falls is great - in his prostration, and Is no mnore an object of contempt than when men tread on the ruins of sacred, buildings, which men of piety venerate no less than If they stood, I6 is foolish to strive with what we cannot avoid; we are born eubjects, and to obey (God is perfect liberty; he that does tis shalL be freo, safe and quiet; all his actions shall succeed to his wishes, God planted fear in the souias truly as he planted hope and courage.
