And;llttlo Miss Harvey seated Jiersplfon a low stool by the side of the eoft on which lay h'er frieid and guest, rs.Susie Arnold. Mrs. Arnold mused her head from the arm of the sefa, brushed away her tears-and said,: half laughingly: "I've a good mind to t ell you, Angle, for ,ydgn y'our,raaliery would be tirel'erable to-my present feehings:." You need not fear any raillery, Ausie, for I promise to be real good," And Mrs. Ilaivey settled herself down wtith u look cf mock solemnity on her mtinling; dimpled face.

"George is coming * to-morrow on the 5 o'clock trai, isalie not?" she askied at length;. Susie nodded assenit, 'Well, -I have an idea, but I want time to perfect it.

"I have. not seep her for ten years, she' was pretty and loveable then;" here a sigh escaped his lips; "she is famous now and free too;" here a discontented look came into his lage,, dark eyes; ' but"I have no ight to Il dulgo in such thoughts, what would Susie say? poor girl, shn.lins ctt tihe, faculty of always making bome hpppy; but I suppose I must bear with her as patiently as Lean;" , and witl} anpther sigh he quickened his pace and was soon in tront of the "Fairy Iloweri'," as Susie called A ngle's bonie. "All'vines, llowers and shruvb3, just l.ko her;" he again mused; "I hope she has not changed in looks'or manner;" and with a nervousness that was not natural, h "ang the bell.

George looked confused, but Susie came to the rescue. "biy dear Angie, this is George, don't you recognixe him?" "I should have hardly recoginized him," returned the lady, deiurely; "he has grown older and darker sluce I saw him last; and I thiink."ie found some difliculty in -recognizing me; we have bath changed; time changes all things," sie added, solemnly. "Nevertheless, you are .very welcome, Mr. Arnold," and sheo'held ouit her. hand. George took It nuimured some inarticulate sofa beside his wife. It Was a4elief to turn fion that sombre looking ilgure to his own biight little Wife. 'Susie was arrayed in white with blue ribbons; her bright hair was becomingly ar ranged in curls and puffs, and' her biue eyes overflowing with love-light, mado her look vciy beautiful to her husband, just then,; In contrast to her was prit Mrs. Harvey, her curls all comol baok tln ior a widow's cap, her dress of' deepest black, withdut a rle, bow' or flower to relieve its motto.ony, while her smil ing, dimpled face wasdrawn down into a look of cold precisloi; even the sil very tones of her volco were changed to a disagreoablo monotone as she said; "My friend, excuse np; my arduous dail.ies demDand my attenti9n.

"Oh, my darling! how glad I m 'to see you again,', exclaimed 'George', throwmng his arms ar:ound .his wlfe and pressing kisses on lier brow anid lps. "Bunt where !s baby?" Susie led him -to the bay wizj ow,, where in a cunning .willow' crib; lay' baby Nina, fast asleep, and looking so pure andl fresh that lhe could not resist the temiptatidn of piressinig li1a boarded lips to her little cheek, oven at the risk of waking her up; and a far more g. ructh,g wIfe than Susija woWid have. been perfectly satisfied with the fopdt glanDces lie bestowed on them both. "'What a beautiful place this is," George remarked, as ho and Sagtie stepped out on the piazza, to admire some rare plants; "but how Angie has changed; I should not have ktnown her. Itaven't you found It rather dull here, darling?" "No, indeed, I have had a, very pleasant visit," returned Susie; but she beiat low over a wild rose to -conceal the curious smile tilat Wreathed her lips. At that moment the tea bell rang and liusio led the way to the supp3r4 roomn. Angie was waiting them in thp calhu dignity.

"Angie, darig, it is too, bad .for you to disguise yourself in this way just for a whim of mine," exchimed'Susie, cloliing up from her packinl and im pulsively throwing her arms. arouiid Angle's neck.

This exquisite fabric, once so greatly in vogue, was gradually killed by the in troduotion of Brussels and Valencien. nes lace. When Queen Victoria, froin !yatriotic motive, desired to- have her Weddiag dfese of 'Eglisli'made lacy, it was with the greatest difficulty that sulllcient lace-makers could be brought together :for the piurpose. Many of them were womhen who had given up1 the oocupation for years. This partien. lar gown was of most elaborate designs, f4gures, o r sprigs, being applied.to l3riis ses net instead of being worked In with the net as now. Curiously enough, I stutnbled across, Id a little grocer's shop at'Lyme iRegis, the chief the original workers upon this dress. Mrs. 1tugg, for that was her name, was delighted to ud'me interested in the lace indus try. Her faee lit up as she told me the Queen sent her a ticket to the ceremony, that she might see her handiwork worn in. state. Aided by Mrs. .Rugg, we gathe,red together a group of the Hono ton hice-makers, and the artist of the pay.: piotognaphed them. Aniong other things ti1a lace-makers told me that tkir. Pawn at Somerse' HoUsg '' wedding gowir pu th iterwards I saw them--a c "rioAi0assortment of sey eral hundred pieces &.cardboard prick ed in the most iugenious geometric and flower patterns, ai:apted of course to the neoessities of lace-making, The lace-workers wished to make a jubileo offering of these to the Qiieen, thinking that she might choose to present them to some art school or collcotlon. They wera greatly diaappolited, however, to receive a somewhat peremptory reply to the effect that the Queen declined the offering. I found more lace makers at Beer than at Lyme, while Sidmouth, still further west, on the Devonshire coast, boasts of being the present artis tic centre of the lace industry.

Dr? Samuel Sexton says on ' tie sub-. ject of boximg the ears. lhe has upon his records lifty-one cases in which the ears have beeii injured by blows of the hand or fist. Of these thirty-one were mnale8 and twent,y females. Of the males thirteen 4Rd 6een boxed .upon the right ear, thirteen upon. the.loft and thre upon both ears. One was kicked by a comipanioni upon the left ear while bath ing and t,he right ear of another was In jured by having the head violently squeezed betwveen the hands of another person.- Of the females fo,inr Wera struok upon the left ea.r an~d six upon the right.

"I suppose," said the reporter, "that. you meet with some queer incidents ii the course of your business?" ' Yes. I remember a customer com ing to me not long ago for his second artificial leg. He had worin the first for a number of years. He said that he was in much trouble of niind. He was going to get married, and had been courting his intended for year and a half, and she did ndt know but' that'Ite was entirely sound. The question in his mind was whether to tell her beforb or wait until, after marriage.

Strangely enough, the day following, a man from Ohio walked into my office, and said lie wanted an artificial leg. He related th-tt 1.0 had been a passenger on the steamer which had to put back on account of the col. -lision, having started from his home in Ohio to pay a visit to Europe. Wlien the vessel returned to port he conclud ed, on reflection, to give up his Euro pean trip and to expend the nioney ha had reserved for the trip in providing himself with a new artiflolal leg in place of the 'tie which he then wvore., So It seems that the collisiori of thlese two steamers brought l.usiiesu aftex "Whio supply limbs for the sokilers ~ "The .business is distributedi among different manu'acturers, nearly, ii- hot all, in the large cties of th'e'Atlanitic coast.
