U you please, irfr.” My route to Italy was rather a round- ahout one. instead of running down to Marseilles, and so on via Civita Vecchia to Rome, I set off eastward and crossed Germany, passing through Cologne, Frankfort-on-the-Main and Nuremberg, thence 1 proceeded to Leipsic, and at length brought up in Dresden. It was my intention to go from there southward through Switzerland to Venice, and thus to make my approach to the Eternal City. Dresden, however, detained me longer than I expected. It was in August that I reached it; there were not many people in town, bat 1 was delighted wirh the gallery, with the picturesque sweep of the river and with the green shade and good music of the Grosser garten. There were several charming drives, too, in the neighborhood: and as for the beer, it was really a revelation to a man who had never known any thing less bcavy and solid than Ailsopp’s pale ale. 1 had put np at the Hotel de Saxe, a hruadsided old building on one side of a large, irregular "Plata,” called, I be lieve, the Nenmarkt. My landlord, who was a young gentleman of great per sonal attractions, interested himself a govd deal about my amnsements; and one day he happened to ask me whether 1 had visited a region known as Saxon Switzerland This, it appeared, was a mountainous district some twenty miles up the Elbe, in which was solved the problem of putting the greateet amount of romantic picturesqneness into the smallest possible compass. It was a laud of savage rocks, wild precipices and profound gorges, conveniently grouped within the limits of a good day’s tramp. It comprised all the sub lime and startling features of you;' Vo somite valley in California, with an area about equal to tbe summit of one jf the table bluffs in that region. 1 packed my valise for a sojourn' of two or three days among these pocket Alps, put my diamonds in that secure inner pocket and took a drosky for the railway station. The trip to Schandau (tbe principal village of Saxon Switzerland) can also be made by steamer, but after discussing tbe proe and cons of rival rentes with my boat of the hotel the evening previous 1 had decided to go hy rail which pro vides nearly half as much pretty scenery as the river road, and takes np less than a fourth as much time. j alighted at the station door some what late, and having given my trnuk in charge of a porter was hurrying ts get my ticket, when my attention was caught by a yonng lady who was stand ing on the platform in an attitude that bespoke suspense and anxiety. Her veil waa down, but from the alender ele gance of ber figure and the harmonious perfection of her costume I could not doubt that her face waa beautiful Evi iently she was not a German; bad she been a thought leaa tastefully dressed I should have said aba was an English girl. As it was site might be either an Austrian or an American. Even then t rather inclined to the latter hypothesis. fine appeared to ne entirety atone, oui she was scanning with ill concealed eagerness the crowd that was entering the station as if in search of a familiar face. When iter glance fell npou me I fancied that she took an impulsive step in my direction, but she checked herself immediately and looked away While i was hastily debating witbin myself whether or nof it would be "the thing’ for me to go up am) ask liar If she need ed any assistance, 1 saw a dienstmano or carrier come up the steps, and taking off his cap deliver her a note. Bhe tore it nervously open, threw back her veil impatiently and ran her eyes over tbs contents. Beautiful she was. indeed! the were on a right footing at last, though 1 could not at the time understand how it had happened. “1 will confess to yon. Mr. Gains borough,” she said, glancing np at me with a channing trustfulness in her manner. “My papa is so forgetful. We were not coming !>ack to Dresden. Af ter Schandau we were going on to Prague, and he has gone off with all our luggage, aud—and be has left me without even any money to buy my We now resumed our conversation on a still more confidential footing than heretofore. Miss Birchmore related many amusing anecdotes of ber lute ex perience in New York, as well as of her earlier days in the convent, and even some passages of her child life previous to the latter epoch. I observed how ever, that ever and anon she would check herself, seeming to pass over cer tain passages in her history in silence and this reminded me of tbe similar be ticket! At least, 1 did have enough, but j havior which i had noted in her father I spent it all in my shopping ’ This cleared np matters at once. “How stupid of me not to have seen it ail before!" I exclaimed “Now we have just time to get the train.” 1 hurried her on with me as 1 spoke, bought our tickets in the twinkling of an eye and without watting for the change conveyed her rapidly across the platform, and with the assistance of a guard we found onrseives safely en sconced in a first class carriage just as the train moved off My beantifnl com panion, breathless, smiling and yet seemingly a little frightened, sank back on tbe ensbions and felt for the fan at her girdle. 1 wished to give her plenty 1 of time to recover her composure, and to | feel assured that i had no intention of I taking nndue advantage of oar position. 1 so, having arranged the windows to suit her convenience, 1 betook myself to tbe | other end of the carriage and diligently stared at tbe prospect for fully five min- ; utes. Nature could endure no more, and at the end of that time I was fain to 1 change my posture. 1 stole a glance at my fair American. She, too, was absorbed in tbe prospect on her side, which consisted at tbe mo ment of a perpendicular cutting about ten feet distant from her window Her attitude as she sat there was the perfec tion of feminine grace. Her left hand, loosely holding the fan. drooped on bet tap. ner sleeve, siigntly pushed np re vealed the lovely curve of her arm and wrist.

That secret, that mystery-whatever it was that weighed upon him-bad cast ha shadow over her young heart like wise. Honestly did I sympathize with her unknown trouble, and ardently did I long—,J1 vulgar curiosity aside—to have the knowledge ot it imparted to me. Few calamities are so heavy as that by earnest and friendly help they may not be lightened. What could it be? In vain I asked myself that ques tion. Here was this lovely girl, in the first fresh bloom of existence, just beginning to taste with eager, nncloyed palate nil Hie sweet joys and novelties of life— health, youth, a happy temperament and ample wealth ranked on her side, and yet this bitterness of a misfortune, not by rights her own, must needs com municate its blighting influence to her! It was tragical to think of. Yes, ever and anon I could mark its traces in her vivid face and winning bearing; a pass ing gloom of sadness in those wonder ful eyes: a quiver of apprehension about the lips; au involuntary gesture of nerv ousness or lassitude; many trifling sign",, scarcely perceptible perhaps to a regard less keen and watchful than mine had already become. Already? But time in an acquaintance like this is not to he measured by hours or minutes. It is a trite saying, and yet how true, that those who are under the influence of a strong emotion may live years in a few heart beats. ‘Please—oh, please don't look so sol emn, Mr. Gainsborough I What has happened? 1 should think, to look at yon, that you had been robbed of your diamonds at the very least.” “No; they are safe enough," said l, calling np as cheerful a tone and aspect as 1 could master, and putting my hand over the inner p<x-ket as I spoke, “Are you fond of diamonds?’' “Oh, did you ever hear of a girl who wasn't? 1 think there is nothing sd beautiful! Pupa has a great many, but he says I mustn’t wear them until aftoi I am married. Isn’t that hard?" "But perhaps you think of being mar ried before long?" I inquired, with pori lively a jealous throb at iny heart. “No, that’s the trouble; 1 know 1 shall never be married." These words were uttered in a lower and graver tone, and once more 1 thought I could discern the flitting traces of that mysterious melancholy. Bnt she brightened up when 1 said; Well, he won’t object to your seeing my diamonds, at any rate; not even to your putting them on, perhaps!" Just for a minute—may l? that will be splendid! Papa says that some ol them are the finest he ever saw." For longer than a minute. Miss Birch more, if yon are willing—Imean if he"— What did l mean, pray?

Luckily for my self possession and self respect the train drew up just then at the station kpown as “Krippen,” on the bank of the rtver immediately opposite Scliandsu. The guard opened the door; we alighted, and the first person we saw was Mr. Birchmore, and close behind him a short, ungainly, beetle browed fellow, a valet or footman apparently, with a camp stool, an umbrella and a small basket ot fruit on his arm. NEW YORK CLUB THAT IS LIKE LONDON'S TOYNBEE HALL. As KatbustssUe and Will In* Lawjrsr Has Started a Wsrk That Is Already Pre- durlax Good KetulU — Workingmen Hntn Adrautncer of Real Club Life. The nearest approach to a Toynliee Hall in America is the East Bide club. Tbe Riovement originated in the Church clnb, an organization consisting of about 400 representative Episcopalians. instead of an Oxford tutor, a New York lawyer, Everett P. Wheeler, con ceived tha idea of a hospitable home, with liberal minded men in residence, where the workingmen of the east side might meet. Mr. Wheeler hud just re turned from London when he read his paper to the Clrarch clnb, showing the magnitude and magnificence of the work accompliahed in Whitechapel by university extension. The laymen were so very favorably impressed by the strength of the appeal and the earnestness of their associate that as individuals they agreed to give any project he might formulate their support. That was in March, 1S9t. In June Mr. Wheeler had re-'ted an old frame dwelling honse at the foot of East Seventy-sixth street, once the country residence of a promi nent New York physician, to which he gave ttie name of the East Side clnb. His family hud gone abroad, and when it was learned that Mr. Wheeler had closed his house at the corner of Seventy- first street and Park avenue, and taken np his residence in the club for the sum mer, his friends in the Lawyers’ club„ the Church club and society generally were amazed. From chance acquaint ances he made friends, and the few who were welcomed to the freedom of the tnrf and the cool shade abont the house welcomed others on their own responsi bility. In this simple and cordial wgy the men were drawn to the East Side club every evening, and on Sundays they brought their children aud their lunches and newsiiapers and picnicked on the grass. Mr. Wheeler talked to the people. He had every newcomer introduced to him. and he sat on the grass with them: he smoked and read with them, and he not only got their ideas on political, social and industrial questions, but frankly gave his own. Some of these friendly discussions lasted a week, and news of them drew new visitors. When one evening “the club gentleman," as he was called, invited two men to dine with him, his sincerity of purpose was estab lished, and since then the work has pros pered. Associated witli Mr. Wheeler were the Rev. Mr. Theodore F. Bacon and Mr. L. D. Hughes, graduate and student of di vinity. Notwithstanding the religions tendency of these gentlemen and the support of the Church club, the work was conducted on purely nonsectarian lines. seen on The Raby and the Aatage. In the bone cares of the sonih of France have been fonnd figures of rein deer, mammoths end men cut on horn or ivory, snd evidently executed by art ists contemporary with the Elephss prituigenina. The men are represente<| with short, bent legs, and seem to stand or walk in a stooping maimer, with the body bowed slightly forward from the hil>s. Now pass your hand down the buck of any infant under ten moulba old and feel tlie spine at the loin or lumbar re gion, where in the adult modern man tbe I>ack is hollow or concave. Yon will observe that in the babe it is convex like that of a quadrniied (a teu-month- old liaby is practically a quadruped): and though the child can, perhaiis. get on its legs with the supjxirt of a chair, it does not straighten its thighs and stand upright, but is bent forward in the same posture of the cave dweller, whose portrait has come down to ns from the age just succeeding the last glacial epoch. If the support is removed the child falls forward and again becomes s pseudo quadruped.—Blackwood's Maga zine. Not So Green ns He IstokeA. A man entered a busy city office a few weeks ago and asked permission to use the telephone. He walked to the corner pointed ont by one of the clerks, looked curiously at the instrument and after a furtive glance toward the other occu pants of the room took down tbe re ceiver and gently whispered into it, “Hullo.” A broad smile passed aronnd the room, and one of the younger clerks called ont in patronizing tones, “Oh, no, uncle; hang np the tube, ring the hell on the right, then put the tube to yonr ear and talk to that little hole before yon.” Tlie man obediently hnng np the re ceiver and turned toward the sjieaker. “Thank yon!” he said dryly, “I am tlie general inspector of this telephone line." —Youth's Companion.

The old fashioned dining room was converted into a billiard hall, aud here the men smoke and chat, play billiards, chess and checkers whenever they like. 1 piper, for sale at 'JL’HK l)ARUN«Toi At a small expense the conservatory News office at 20 cents a hundred, was converted* into a gymnasium. On the same floor is the lavatory and bath. Every day in tlie week from S) a. m. until 10 p. m. tlie clubhouse is open and the attendance in the billiard room and gymnasium is greater Sunday than at any other time. When exception was taken to this unusual plan of operation Mr. Wheeler took the ground that a gentleman might play a game of bil liards in his private clnb Sunday after noon if the notion pleased him without exciting any comment among the mem bers. Granting this privilege to a mer chant, banker or professional man, why should it be denied his truckman aud clerks? It also occurred to him that a game of cards in a private club was not only less baneful, but less expensive tlian in a saloon or beer garden. Another innovation is a monthly dance to which all the members are invited to bring their wives, sisters aud friends. Good music is provided, simply printed dancing cards are distributed and in the middle of the programme hot chocolate and cake or coffee and sandwiches are ] postal served. Tlie yonng clergyman is al ways present, and no group, however small, is unattended in the club, and in consequence noisy harangues, profanity and discord are unknown. Now there are five club residents—Mr. W. 8. Brush, also a lawyer; Mr. Paul Reynolds, editor of a religious paper; Mr. Willis B. Holcom, Mrs. Virginia Gookin, tlie kindergartner, and her little son. The janitor and his wife lake care of tlie honse aud John Oodet, aged sixteen, is custodian of the playgrounds. Dur ing the day Mrs. Gookin teaches all the children who come to the kindergarten.

At the start these toddlers'had to tie washed and sembbed; now they present themselves clean aud tidy. Any self respecting man may become a member of the clnb by paying fifty cents a month. This fee entitles tbe member to all the privileges and advan- ! tages pf a social and friendly organiza tion, It gives bis children the freedom of the playgrounds seven days in the week and provides kindergarten train ing for them. It welcomes his wife to the mothers' meetings and the general entertainments, and it gives him the use of a gymnasium, library and reading room, and a cozy and beantifnl place to spend his holidays, R brings him in pontoct trith at least three sympathetic and influential men on whom he can de pend for many courtesies calulated to relieve the monotony and reduce the struggles for existence.— New York World. lilt kpsii My aii Wily CHRONICLE WILL GIVE *Full and Imoartial Reoorts Of all the Campaign Meetings this Bummer in South i arolina.

In the Summer Season trade lan guishes and business is at a low ebb. What think you of the mer chant who says "Let Her Languish” closes up his store and repairs to the seaside?

When business lags, apply the spur. Advertising is the great trade stimulator. , 0iove and Grizzly Hollow, 'Taint fun Ym.
