The girl was aa gay as a lark; the ball had been a delightful one ; the muaic still pulsed in her ear, until her very heart kept the beat Young, beautiful, beloved and wealthy, this little Jennie of ours had tho cream of this vrorld at hor feet, and as Bhe took off hor jewelry and flowers, and prepared herself for sleep, it was with a smile on her lips and a happy light in her dreamy eyes. One piece of jewelry eho hold in her clasped hand lingeringly, as if it were too dear to lay aside. It was a pretty trinket, a gold clasp or bar, and swinging from it by two tiny golden chains a polished Florida sea bean, dark as ebony, mounted like a locket A. legend waa engraved on the bar in a foreign tongue : " Uberall Du " Jennie's eyes scanned tho wprds intently. " How Btupid I am not to be able to translate this German," thought she. " Ifc is something dear, I know, and just tho thing, or Eoyall would not have had it. I wiah I could sacrifice my prido enough to ask him the meaning of it, but he thinks I can read it, and 1 am ashamed to let him know I'm such a dunce, after four years at boarding school. 2s ev er mind, I shall discover the meaning some time," and, with a blush and a smile she kissed the trinket and put it tenderly away in her casket. It was a trifling thing, but even that is precious from the man you loYe. Eoyall Hamlm had been at her feet all winter. People said they were engaged, and considered the match certain, as people will when the principals in the game aie not at all auie. It was not bo in this case. He had not proposed to Jennie, though he vas all de votion, andj to tell the truth, Jen nie felt a growing uneasiness lest she was becoming fond of him too soon; but she could not bear to distiess herself with the thought. Bo, -when this eve at the ball he had pinned her clasp upon her shoulder amid her snowy laces, and murmured in her ear in their quiet nook in the window that ho would have something to Bay to her when be returned to town next week, Jennie's heart had given quite ft leap that had dyed her swet little face, scarlet; and he, noting it, had gone off with eyes full, of triumph. No wonder her locket seemed precious to her. The next afternoon after the ball, as Jennie was walking with Ella Stuart, on the avenue, she asked ber, as if it were a sudden thought, if " she remembered hei German 1" "Not well, Jennie^ pretty rusty! What did you ask for V " Because I have forgotten mine, and X saw a few German words in a love " stammered Jonme, " and I could not make out tho sense of them, and you know how aggravating that is '" " What weie the words?" " As near aa i. -can remember the words," smoothly said our d'mple-faced deceiver " they were 'UberalllDu'" " Uberall m," murmured JElla. " Why 1 Ire- member, it is a line out of German poetry ! and means ' All is over with thee.'" She looked round at Jennie, tri umphantly, just in time to catch a perfect expression of dismay on a poor blancleJ face, enough to muko your heart ache. "Why, .Jennie 1 uhat is the matter I" sho exclainiod, catching her by the arm, Jonuio just had Strength loft to tottor into a Bhop Kautoous' noa.r b-T> and smk int a Beat' (whiaporiug aho " waa faint," did not fool well all day, etc, making at tho samo tiino a sign for hor companion not to attract attention, whioh ouo Ella waB quick to take, and carried out by an energetic chattering with madamo with tho frir, aa to tho equality of pink crush roses, which madamo insisted were " French," as also hor " whole stook of ribbons," oto. Jennie grew bettor as suddenly as eho had fallen ill, and Ella thought it only over-fatigued after tho ball. What would sho have thought had sho seen our poor Jennie an hour later, Bobbing, faoe down on her dainty bed, she lock ed in the sac rod retreat of her chamber. Poor child I sho had her battle to fight, rand well she fought it. " So it is all over with me, is it I" thought she ; " and I imagin ed he loved mo as well as I did himl How ashamed I feel, that I did not hide my feelings better. Now I know he was just trifling I'll novel lovo a man again as long aa I livo ! Novor, never 1 and he shall never Bpeak to mo again shall Tiover ,see in my face how badly I feel f" Poor Jennie. Tho day arrived upon which ho had promised to bo in town, and also to take her to drive. Jennio was in a fearful state of excitement all day. That afternoon, late, a well known ring was heard at the door. Jennie's heart gave a perfect surge ; but when the servant looked at her inquiringly, 6ho answered his glance- with a cool " Engaged John," and hurried to her room,'to cry o\ er her mortification. Next day camo a note in Mr Hamlin's well-known hand, but sho dechnod to read it, and sealing it in another envelope, Bhe returned it, and with it tho lockot, ' thank ing Mr. Hamlin for his kindness in permitting her to inspect it, and pronounced it very pretty, and herself bis respectfully," etc. very " high and mighty, Bbe waa horrible wretched the next few weeks, and did not go in society. She had a morbid idea. her story might he out, and, us it was, Lent came just in time to give her an excuse for being so quiet. She pined bo visibly that her friends thought her health flagging, and Bent her to visit some relations in another State. She tried to bo happy, but waa not particularly successful, in fact, her efforts were a miserable failure; it was hard to see which waa preying upon her most, disappointed love or a per fect agony of mortification, at the thought how transparent her heart had been to him, and how he had treated it liko a toy. She was al- waja seeking a resolution of hiB -apparently gratuitous insult, and she could not find it i Had some body been laughing about hor patent devotion to him "I Did he mean to taunt her with the utter hopelessness of her love I She giound these bitter questions over iu a hundred wavs, and waa like to break her heart. Spring came and Jennie gradu ally regained a degree of her old serenity, but she did not with to go home. In the funiily of her friends was a charming girl of her own age, and they weie fast friends, but Jennie never spoke of her moitific- ation to her. One day they were talking over the appioaching jnarriages of Aunt Norab. " Jennie," Bhe said, " I nover showed you the dear ring Leonard gave me last fall, did 11" " No 1 let -me see it." Norah bi ought it, it was a beauti ful turquoise in a heavy gold hoop, and something waa engraved inside the hoop. Jennie tried to read it; Norah caught the glance. "TJberall Du, Jennio, isn't that bwest in Len to tell me bo in such a dolling way." " What is it T asked Jennie in a quaking, uncertain voice, feebng somehow as if her life hung oh a thiead, that thread the significance of the words, " Ubernll Du," words which had pioved so fatal to her happiness. " Why,' Thee, over all.' Jennie, whero base your eyes gone to ? You studied German at Madam Armand's with mo; forgot so soon 1" " Bo that was it, ' Thee over all,' and what a fool aha had been, eh 1" where Jennie's last cheeifal thoughts as she slipped quietly down by Norah's sido' in<a dead faint. Miss Norah was horrified by Jennie's sudden attack, but when Jennie revived she aeaured her cousin she was in tho habit of fainting at actually nothing, and the parlor must have been too waira. She deceived Noiah thoroughly, but not her own poor heart. Then who went up stairs and pondered upon " tho situation." Tho more she pondered the worse it eoemod. Sho was too proud to own her mistake, and take back hor hateful words and manner, and Beok him in any way, and prido " carried tho day." Hor fathor sont her into the mountains that summer, and, with a fow frieuds, wandered about, but the grace and charm of God's country, of rocky ledge, and balmy whispoiing piue, and trickling mountain brook, cold and oloar, bad no charm for her. Ono day they planned a fishing excursion to a large foicst stream which crossed the stage road a mile or two be yond tho hotel. Jennie crept away from the others with a rod and line, and strayod along the brookside, through quivering lights and shades among green leaves and shadowy placoa, she went so far she was lost without perceiving it. As sho stood quietly on the bank watching a floating leaf, a voice behind her made her start with astonishment; so well known was it so dear. " Can you tell me, miss, how far I am from tho stage road 7' Jennie turned deliberately and looked into tho face of Royal Ham lin. She actually relished his look of utter -dismay aud disconcert ment. " I beg your pardon, Miss Dane," said the amateur sportsman, stiffly. " I did not recognize you, or I would not have intruded upon you." " You did not distur^ me in the least, Rojall ," Baid Jennie' quiet ly, with scarlet face; " but I am sorry I cannot tell you which way the road lies. I think I have come so far I must be lost myself." Ho stood gazing at her, speech less. At last he stammered: "Miss Dane you called me ' Royall;' you do not seem angry now. Tell me, in the name of God, what got you so furious at mo last winter," and he pressed closer to her 6ide by the brook bank. Jennie hung her head. TJnresistiuj'ly, Bhe permitted him to gather the little hand up in his Btrong fingers, and take a Beat by her tide on the moss, and draw her down beside him on the turfy bank j there thoy sat like a couple of idiots,, for very gladness ; Jennie's fishing4 tackle, fly, line and rod went Bailing leisurely off down stream; Jeunie struggled with herself, and finally managed to answer : I misunderstood I that stuff on the locket, and Ella said it was ' all over with me' that would have been abominably impertinent of you, Royall I you know it would," she flashed through her tears at him, smiling in the most dazzling inaimei the next minute. " Good heavens !" he exclaimed excitedly, as a light dawned in upon him, " you don't mean to say my little Geioian motto on that clasp was misiepresented and the caube of all this misunderstanding ' " Why Jennie 1" and his tone was full of chagrin, " why 1 thought it was so neat I" So Jennie told him all about ifc as they nestled among tho leaves, the hush, and dreaminess of the forest. The light and air that surrounded them, that bathed them in its waves, Was not of heaven or earth, it was rose-colored 1 Jennie could complain no more of Royall's uncertainty, because he was very explicit in his remarks, and later, when they went hunting for the road, and found the lest of the; fishors, Jennie's health was visibly improved, judging by her beauti ful color and happy eyes. It turned out Royall was due at her hotel, his baggage had already gone on, and ho had left the stage for a rarublo, in'onding to cioss the road in time for the o\ eums Stage As it was, ho lodo home vritli the paity. What need to tell any more ? Royall had "" TJberall Du,"_ en graved on Jennie's wedding ring, with the laudable intention of teaching her German more effee tively than it is taught in boarding schools geneially. " That is unremitting attention," the student said When his father forgot his usual ullowance. Why ia a beefsteak like a loco motive 1 Because it !b not of much account without its tender. A Sunday-school teacher asked ber class the question : " What did Simon sy V " Thumbs up 1" aaid the little girl. An Eastern paper advertises: " A pair of blue eyes for ten cents." In Chicago you can get a pair of bhji::k-aiid-blue eyes for less money than that.

It is always impossible to take up a paper these days without see ing a roport of some embezzlement. From every city and town oomes up the story of soma olark, or manager, or treasurer, who has speculated with money that waa not his own and has como to grief in many cases damaging others aa much as himself. It would almost seem as though an epidemic of fraud was sweeping over the coun try. Of courao muoh of this may bo simply the unveiling of a disease more or less prevalent at ail times. Jtfany of the forgers, peculators/ and violators of trust funds hare slipped into dishonest ways unin tentionally Caking a false step* and hoping to be able to retrieve it.. But in days like these, when finan cial aflairs are very unsettled, dis honest people fail as well as honest ones, and then there oomea a revel ation of fraud which might under other oircutnetancea have remained unBoen. But whether there is really more' dishonesty abroad than usual, or only the average amount, ic is a, lamentable fact that there is much more of it than is agreeable. And the serious questibn arises in the minds of all comparatively honest people, is there no remedy for this state of affairs ) Some believers in the omnipotent force of education might be dispos ed to recommend the thorough study in all our schools of the elements of Jforal Science. And there can be-no question that a drilling in the fundamental prin ciples of right and wroDg would be a far better -education for many young people than a mathematical or classical course. It would so strengthen their moral natures that in after years they woidd the more readily detect and' the more easily oppose the inoidious beginnings of evil courses"' which, if unheeded, lead on to death and ruin. But it is to be feared that Moral Science would be unable to with stand the force of social customs and the extravagances of modern life. The desire to appear as well or better than our neighbors; to keep as fine houses, to wear as- good clothes, to give as large parties," seem to have become part of our nature. Whether wo hare the means to do it or not is of second ary importance; we muBt keep up; With what we conceive to be the requirements of fashionable life. Otherwise, our neighbors will think we are mean and stingy ; or, worse than all, poor. The dread of our neighbors' sneer, no matter how undeserved it be, and the desire for our neighbor's praise, no matter how insincere and hollow it may be, are powerful elements in modern society, and are prima factors cf dishonesty. In this matter people of all creeds as well as "of no creeds are alike interested. Indeed, it is a lamentable fact that too many of the convicted peculators of the present day are profohnd Christians. And this gives rise to the question : Can it be that the pulpit has been somewhat neglectful of its dutyt Has it given too much attention to theology, and too little to morals? too much to Faith and npt enough to Works ? Are our churches sometimes too desirous of worshipping in costly edifices? and does the necessity of paying' for a costly edifice sometimes lead church authorities to countenance doubtful methods of raising money t Example is said to be even more powerful than precept. I In the early days of the Chris tian Church its apologists pointed with pride to thq wonderful effect which the religion of Christ had upon morals and conduct in an age preeminent for vice and fraud. Then they could ask, with triumph ant voices, for tho pagan woild to point out a Christian who had sub- utttuttd wills, who had foiged nottfs, who had embezzled funds, who had robbed widows aud orphans. But its days of boasting are gone. Why t Surely not becauso the Christian Faith in_ its simplicity and purity is leas effective as a moral force to-day than it was ejghteen^entariea ago 1 ' If, as is apparent, the religious' life of Christian society has become faint and feeble, it is time for all who profess in uny degree a belief in the faith, whether clerical or lay, to fan the dving embers to new brightness. Not that religiouft revivals j may be developed, and churebse built, and chinch members increased ; but that the morals of society 'may> be quickened, and fraud and dishonesty repressed. Instead of theological discussions, and denominational contests, and fierce struggles with so-called " un belief in its vaiying-phases, otlct we not have a oi'iisade against ex' travagance 1 against devotion ta fashionable habits; against loose ness of living; against the " white lies" of business, and society; ways commences by intending to Some " make it right in a " little while?" If Christians of all sects, Catholic and Protestant, could throw all their force into the effort to purify life and conduct, might they not give better ividence if the divine origin of their faithr than can be found in all the theological sermons of the last eighteen hundred years ?

Put seven pounds of flour into a deep pan, and make a hollow in the center ; into this put one quart of hike-warm water, one tablespoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of sugar, and half a gill of yeast; havo ready three pints of warm water, sad use as much of it as is necessary to make rather- soft dough, mixing and kneading it well with both hands. When it is Braooth and shining strew a little flour upon it, lay a large towel oven it flolded, and set it in a warm place by the -fire -for four or-five hours to rise j then knead it again for fifteen minutes, cover it with the towel, and set it to rise once more; then divide t 4svto two or four loaves, and bale it in a quick? oven. This quantity of -floor will make eight pounds of bread, and will require ono hour'sbaking to two pounds of dough. It will cost about thirty cents, and will last about two days and a half for & family of six. In cold weather, the dough should be mixed in a warm, room, and not allowed to cool while ris ing ; if it does not rise well, set the pan containing it over a large vessel of boiling water ; it is best to mix the bread at night, and -let it rise till morning, ia a'warm and even temperature. Pea Soup. Use half a pint, or seven ounces of dried peas, (or every two quarts ot soup you want. Put them in three quarts of cold water, after washing them well; bring them Blowly to a boil,- add a bone, or hit of ham, if you have it to spare, one turnip and one carrot peeled, one-onion -stuck with three cloves, and simmer three hours, stirring occasionally to prevent burning;, then pass the soup through the sieve with the aid of a potato masher, <and if it shows any sign of settling stir into it one tablespoonful each of butter and flour niived together dry, this will prevent settling; meantime fry some dice of stale bread, about two of Common Ailments Horses. Rinpbono is of two kinds true and false. The false ringbone if an enlargement situated aboventEe middle of^the bone. Wien very large, it may caase> lameness. As a rule, however, it never gives in convenience to the animal. The true ringbone is quite an- other matter. There are two kinds the high acd tfee low. It> is called high when it involves the bone immediately above the joint. Ringbone, whether1 high or low, varies in size ; bat tho degree of lameness does not depend upon tho size of the formation. An animal may be very lame .with but little deposit, and another may- show but little Ismonrss with very large ringbone. Terr often *he circle of the ring is defective, and the deposit appears only on one side of the limb, or on both sides, and none in front. When at tbe side they do not cause the same degree' f laneaess as when in front. Ringbones are not tbe canse, bat the result of disease, being tbe re sult of an infiamation originating in the bone. <8ho4ldefrSip. This ia-a sprain or laceration of the fibres of tho spinatns muscles, together with,, probably, the abductor magnus and teres exturnus. Tbe hnmorcua, lacking tho tenstoa of tfaese nrueclee, rotates outward at every step vntb. unusual freedom. Pain is express- -sed in recent -cases, and wasting of the museles just named. In the majority of cases actual lameness does not occur. -There will be a hollow space-upon either side of the scapular spine, extending its whole length. , Shoulder Lameness. The gait of shoulder lameness a indicative of the seat of disease. The patient idoes not carry iris Himb straight forward, but with a rotary motion, the limb beigg thrown -outwards, and iha toe made to-form the seg ment of a circle-; in other words, he brings the *leg ^forward, ^with a sort of sweep, and the toe is drag- f god or trailed otrtheqgrouha.
