rTlHE LOVERS' QUARREL.
"Never,. while I live," said Mi:
Rashlelgh, "never, while I live, wi
I see your face again!" She meait
when she said it; and as she spoke,-si
* threw her bethrothal ring towards h(
lover, who had offended her. as lh
felt, beyond hope of pardon. It misse
himn, and rolled down upon the floot
and over the sill of an open chitm
closet, one of those old-fashlone
closets that use'.1 to stand on either sid
of the mantelpiece. She did not notic
where it rolled; he did though, an
after she had left the room he turne
to pick it tip. The ring she had wor
would always be precious to him.
Miss 'lashleigh went straight to ie
own room, as"miserable a girl an eve
lived; and a iioientlater Grandmothl
Rasleigh bustled into the diawinp
room, pushed the open closet door tc
'picked up the poetry .straight on t:

Then she closed the door behind, he
attdl nt away to her own rQotn u;
stairs, where a fine silk patchivrork qui
was in the frame, a surprise for sal
Cornelia; Grandma Rashleigh gax
every; oung person of the family som
thing of her own manufacture on h
-or her wedding-day. Letty had had a
afghan; John a pair of sofa pillow
Amelia a set of toilet boxes and a pl
cushion. "Now," the old lady ht
said a dozen times to Tripheny Kin
who was helping her, "now, I rath
think Cornelia will have .the best thl
I've done; and there's a bit in it
every handsome silk there's over bee
in the family, and of her -father's at
grandfather's weding-vest."
"Yes'm; it's a real miemnorial quilt,
said Tripheny. "it. taktes you, miin
to plan such th;ings,'"
The quilt was finished anid biotu
that afternoon, and Tripheny's job
but she carried about thme village Li
'news that she "was sure all was ovi
between Miss Rashleigha and .i
Spear. She heard Cornelia saym
-something to her grandma, and theo o
2lady was furious."
"He would never havo ulono that
lie had cared for me, you knowv, granm
ma," (ornella was saying at th
moment.
"btuff aind nonmse,mei loe loves i

"You'll never get suh another. Corn

"I shall never marry amt nll; I ha

to hold her, and she went over to h
moth'er's, her usutal course w'hen si
full out with grandma.
Trhree days passed. At the end
the thirq, Piety Pratt stepped in
Mrs.' lashileigh's, young Mrs. Isas
leigh, as 'they called her, though si
wvas nearly fifty, for grandma was o
Mrs. Itashleigh.
"I expect you'll feel upset when

.Rashleigh, and repeating irr 'es1oi
like' a parrot "There's 5Qietiit)gof

once."
"Get.. your bonnet., Cornelia,'' said
her mother. "I'll just put on this stu
hat. What Is it, Sally, do you klloiv?"
"i know it's sAmiething dreaaful.
Missus is almost wild, and there's lots
of folks there. Something about Mr.
Spear.
The two ladies said n more. They
hurried away together, and entering
gra.idma's parlor, found there assem.
bled more of the meiubers of the Spear
family, and a friend or two besides,
Orville had indeed disappeared. li<
had no.ver been home since his visit -tt
Cornelia; and now. the alarmed rela.
tives were anxious to get all the Infor
mation they could regarding, the i.nter
view between Orville and Cornelia.
Il1 "I had reason to be angry, Mrs
t Spear," said Cornella, proudly---"good
e reason; and .1 took oft my. ring, ai
r gave it back, and went out of the room
e That is all I know, I don't know
a when he went or where. 1-1 though
, he wouldn't mind so much. 1 belioved
he had stopped caring about me."
d "Ie ..ought to now, at all events,'
o said grandma.
e "My boy is dead, I'm sure. I shal
d have the pond dragged," said Mrs.
d Spear, amidst her tears." "le left al
n his money at home. He wouldn't have
gone travelling without a change o
r clothes. Oh, you wicked girl"
r I could kill you, you hateful thingi'
r 'cried the youngest Mis, Spear.
Cornelia had kept up bravely until
', now; but when her two friends turned
f upon her thus, she gave a little scream
d and fell over on the sofa. She was in i
e dead swoon, and the water they sprink
d led on her face did not bring her to.
0 Grandma grew frightened. "I hope
r it isn't an attack of heart disease," she
n said. '"Poor child! she looks as if ,shi
were dead;"
"Oh, don't say that!" criede lh
inothek.
t They gathered around Cornelia, and
ct did all they could for her, and soon she
'e recovered, and sat up; but all her pride
was gone. "Oh, dear--oh, dearl" sh
is sobbed. "I wish I had diedl I wish :
nt had never como to! Oh, Orville, Or
r ville! what has become of you?"
"Oh, oh!" moaned the mother.
d "'Oh, oh!'' moaned the sisters.
And Cornelia's head fell back agaia

The queer man is not averse to living

well as every inconsiderable hamlet, has
its specimen of queerness. Rain slani;l
In Boston harbor, is thb dwelling pIhce
of one of these odd.,and picturesque
specimens of humanitf. He has lived
here alone for 36 years. No one knows
his name or whee:he came from. He

The Origin of Gieat Corporations.
Machinery.ls now recognized as es
sentiai to cheap production. Nobody
can proiluce effectively in.l economi
clly witlhout t;;and 'vha't was'former
ly kinowin as domestic manufacture is
n'ow alinolt obaolete. "13ut- machinery
is odce of the iuost extensiVe purchase
and use' require an amount of capital
fAr beyound the ordinary individual to
furnish. ',There are -very few men in
the world possessed of an amount of
wealth sufllolent 'to indivdually con
struct and owln an extensive line of
railway or,telegraph, a (rst-class steam
ship, or,a great. factory.. .IG is also to
be remembered that for carrying on pro
duction by the post .modern, and.eirec
tive methods large capital is, needed,
not only for machinery, but Also for the
purchasing and carrymig of extensive
stocks of crude Material. and finished
pkodtlets. Sugar; can xo w lie, and gen

providing and carrying the 'raw
material necessary for. the successful
prosecution of^this bu'iness, apart frona
all other conditioils, platcs it, therefore,
pf le&essity; beyond the ieach of an
br4inar' capitalist or prodicer. It has
lheeti- befoie stated that In the manu
facture of jewelry 'y ' machinery, one
boy can make up nine thousand sleeve
buttons per day; four glrls,-also, work
by mnodei-n methods, can p)ut together
.Atn the same time eight thousand collar
b)uttons. But to run an establishmenL
with snch tfacilities the manufacturer
must keep, constantly in stock thirty
thousand dollars' worth of cut orna
mental stone.s and a stock of cuff but
tonls that represents unine thousandl dif
fer'ent, designs and patterns. Hlence
from such conditIo'ns have growvn up
great corpiorations of sitock compaxnies,
wvhich area only forms of associated capi
izal organized for effective use and pro,.
te2tion. They are iegarded to sonme
extent as evils; but they are necessary,
as there is apparently no other way in
which the wvork of pi'oduction and dis.
tribution, in accordance with the re
quirements of the age, can bo prosecut

such combinations of cap)ital are or
