The result was that the proud young beauty was promptly ojected through the hall door; for she it was who had passed George AdolphuH as he wandered in search of his level. When Mr. Muggleton had waited for Mnud until he was tired, and on the point of leaving, Mr. Muller entered the room, and, apologizing for the non-ap­ pearance of his daughter by saying that she had a violent headache, begged him to come again in a few days, as Maud would then be delighted to see him. The truth was that Mr. Muller had no idea of punishing his daughter's disobe­ dience with permanent banishment. He reasoned that she would surely go to some of her friends, and return in peni­ tence in the morning. George Adolphus followed swiftly on after the young lady, hardly knowing why he did so, feeling irresistibly drawn by some unaccountable presentiment that all was not well with her. In a few moments he came up with her and fol­ lowed at a" little distance, wa telling her movements with the keenest interest. But Maud was so intent upon some pur­ pose which lay deep hidden in her heart that she did not notice him. The street THE 60LDEX HAIR-PIN. ing there--memories that carried | him back to the foot-bridge across | the canal. "Who was the beautiful S stranger that had almost made the canal bridge a "bridge of sighs?" Why had she sought a watery grave ? And if she w ; nted to rid herself of sorrow why didn't she jump off a house instead of hunting up a dry canal, full of broken glass, iron and old boots ? These ques­ tions were too much for George Adol­ phus. In less than a week he found himself in a perfect fever of mental ex­ citement. He felt that he was growing rapidly worse. It did seem as if he could not get that hair-pin near enough to his heart. He thought of swallowing it, but changed his mind and had it made into a bosom-pin. In another week the malady had obtained so complete a mas­ tery over l>im that he bejgan to write poetry. He could not even think in prose, and when he read a newspaper the lines all seemed to commence with a capital letter and end with a jingle. Thus the weeks passed wearily by without bringing the slightest intelli­ gence of the owner of the golden hair- vra. In a brilliantly lighted ball-room in Couponville, gayest of the gay, and ad- mired of all admirers, Maud Muller now began ^to be deserted, but still the j promenaded to and fro like a fairy queen. A i, j .. . a , wretchedness had departed with old Mr. Muggleton, but she had not for­ gotten the night when a stranger had rescued her from self-destruction, and _ she secretly longed to know who it question and many more beside as he was that liad saved her from herself, lingered in the shadows close l»ehind j giie closely scanned every gentleman restless girl kept walking rapidly on. At length a small foot-bridge across the canal was reached. The girl paused; was her purpose a desperate one? George Adolphus asked himself this George Adolphus Clarendon was a young man of pleasing presence, whose age was not far from 20 years. His father had long and successfully con­ ducted a most exemplary meat-market at the corner of Market and St. Clair streets, in the thriving village of West- ford, in Central New Y»rk, and had amassed a competence by fair and hon­ orable means. But the son held the » mean business in abhorrence, and stead­ fastly refused to entertain the thought of following it for a livelihood. He con­ ceived himself to be formed of a quality of clay quit a above the average, and was often heard muttering in his sleep about the "higher walks of life." Old Mr. Clarendon was a stern father, and he de­ termined that, if George Adolphus would ^ not sell meat, he should be compelled to' engage" in the distribution of tracks, wjtli the heels toward the paternal man­ sion. George Adolphus accepted the. peripatetic alternative with cheerful , alacrity, and went on an aimless tram]). ;T *9&id he was going in search of his proper level. n. Maud Muller was the only child of a retired banker in the sleepy town of Couponville, an aristocratic village in one of the eastern counties of Ohio. Maud's charms, both physical and men- - tal, were the rarest ever lavished upon woman, and she had been favored with every advantage of education that money could purchase. Her beauty and ac­ complishments had made her the idol of a large circle of young men, to not one of whom had she ever given the slight­ est encouragement. They swarmed un­ der her chamber windows on moonlight nights and made the long hours hideous with their caterwauliligs, until old Mul­ ler got tired of it, and stole around the ? corner of the house with a gun loaded ~ ' with tenpenny nails and let drive at the > flock, killing three outright and wound­ ing four others so that they died the fol­ lowing morning. That was the kind of man Mr. Muller was, but he was exceed­ ingly fond of his daughter and had al- .vyays been kind to her. ?' One evening as Maud was emerging f from her boudoir, where she had been • scrutinizing a large mirror and dressing '• for the opera, she was met by her father 4 with the information that Mr. Muggle­ ton waited in the parlor. '• I > Now Mr. Muggleton was an ancient ' 'tdfcsil, who had taken a great fancy to Maud, and, as he was a man of high social standing and great wealth, Mr. Muller had thought best to encourage ^ : <fcim as much as possible, hoping that '; - his daughter would have the good • sense to offer no objection on account of age. ? " Mr. Muggleton is waiting," repeated Mr. Muller. "Well, give him my compliments, and tell him to keep on wait ng," re- •; turned Maud, with some spirit. v' "But don't vou intend to go down? Are you going to be rude ?" "Oil, yes," replied Maud, with an injured air, "I'll go down and stroke liis shifty old bald head, and ask him about his children and his grandchil­ dren, and I'll ask him to give me some personal recollections of JNoah. And, if you lik<>, I'll go to the opera with him, and I'll ask him if there was better tal­ ent on the boards when he and Methu­ selah were young !" "Now, Maud," said Mr. Mailer, "you are making a fool of yourself. Mr. Mug­ gleton never saw Noah in his life. As to grandchildren, you know very well that he is a bachelor and hasn't a rela­ tion in the world, so far as he knows. I •» command you to present yourself nt once, and if you don't behave properly there will be a young lady about your size begging her bread in the streets li­ fers she is aware of it." With these words the indignant father i turned on his heel and left Maud to j «hoose which alternative she would. ' ILL j While the events above narrated were J transpiring, a young man possessing a dignified bearing, and 85 cents in money, j was just entering the brilliantly-lighted town of Couponville in search of his I level. It was a larger town than he had J ever before seen, and he was conse- ! quently somewhat dazzled and bewil- ! dered. He bsgan to be doubtful about i finding his level that night, as the even- ' ing was rapidly wearing away, and an- ! other question was beginning to trouble 1 him, namely: How was he going to j r3ach the higher walk of life without more money ? How was he to be o high- ' toned gentleman and live in a loftier at- : mospliere than that which pervaded ttie ' meat-sliops, with so ,small a sum as 85 accents in his pocket ? As he walked I '••gloomily along the strange thorough-! fare, busy with these troublesome reflec­ tions, he heard loud touts issuing from ' £ a mansion which he was just passing. A I moment later the front door opened.and i a slight female figure hurried silently • out into the street, and, passing by him ;) with a quick, determined tread* was ' soon out of sight. TV. j When Maud recovered from the shock ! which her father's angry words had giv- ! • i her, the immediately determined j •oon a aaurse of action. She resolved ! that she would be turned out of doors ' before 6he would conseut to go to the | opera with an antediluvian relic, who j i her, | Murmuring something to the effect j that the heaving, white-crested billows ! which rolled at her feet would soon em­ brace her and free her from her wretch­ edness, Maud 1 >egan to take down her hair. "Going to swim?" asked a voice be­ hind her. She turned and l>elield a stranger standing close at her hand. At first she could not utter a word. Presently, how­ ever, she said, in tones that betrayed her intense excitement. " Oh, sir, do not thwart my purpose. I desire to put an end to my trouble--I wish to sleep beneath the wave." "There isn't any wave there," said George Adolphus. " The canal's dry. You'll break your neck if you jump off this bridge." " But I want to find a grave in the restless deep. I want the blue billows to fold me in everlasting slumber, where the sea-weeds grow in sunless gloom." . "But I tell you, my dear lady, there isn't any restless deep anywhere around here. You'd better put it off till the canal opens. Here you are talking about sleeping beneath tf»e fcfllows, when the water won't be let on in a month yet. And, besides, if you want to be folded in everlasting slumber, it would be wise for you to jump into a well. You'd have a sure thing then." " That would be horrible!" exclaimed Maud, with a shudder. " Yes,"replied George Adolphus; "it- would spoil the well." Mnud felt that George Adolphus was right. True, he did not appear to enter very much into the tragic spirit of the situation. He ought to have dropped upon his knees and implored her to for­ get her trouble and sip a little longer the nectar of life. He ought to have pictured to her imagination a fair-haired girl lying with pallid face and marble form in the silent bosom of the canal, j where the dolphin sports unseen and the mermaids comb their locks in shad- • owy solitude. But he did nothing of j the sort. He told her to go home and I practice in the cistern. 1 Maud thought the matter over for a | moment, then bursting into tears she j wrung the hand of our hero and ran „ swiftly home. j George Adolphus stood upon the bridge and watched Maud till she was j out of sight. As he stood there, won- j dering what it was that weighed so j heavily upon the mind of this fair young | girl, he saw something glittering at his j feet. He stooped and eagerly picked it ! up. It was a golden hair-pin of pecul- | iar pattern. It occurred to him at once j that it must have been lost by the girl when she took down her hair. He put j it in his trousers pocket, thinking that it would Imj a handy tiling to pawn for ] breakfast. The more* he tried to forget I about this fair girl, and the previous | circumstance under which he had met her, the more persistently they rose be­ fore him. Presently he found himself laying plans to find out more about her, and then it dawned upon him that he was in love. He then tenderly removed the hair-pin from his trousers pocket and placed it next his heart. It was now getting very late, and the police were beginning to glance suspiciously at our lier«, and so he turned into a more retired street and determined to' search for a cheap lodging place. YI. Old Mr. Muggleton, whom we left at the residence of Maud's father, wend­ ed his way homeward, filled with bitter disappointment. He had long regarded Maud with tenderness, and had desired to offer his hand and fortune, and now he felt that he was rejected. He hail seen nearly tour-score years of bachelor­ hood, and it was getting monotonous. that entered the room, as if in half- frightoned expectancy. She had heard of Mr. Clarendon, the young millionaire, but, as he had not appeared much in so­ ciety, she had not met him. Of course she was not curious, for she was a wom­ an, and women are not curious ; yet she could not feel easy after learning that Mr. Muggleton's heir was present, till she had signified her willingness to have him presented. As George Adolphus advanced, arm- in-arm with an acquaintance, a percepti­ ble pallor overspread Maud's counten­ ance. Was it caused by the peculiar pin that ornamented his shirt-bosom? She tried to convince herself that "the pin signified nothing. Perhaps he had picked up the liair-piu in the the street on that eventful evening she so well re­ membered. But when she heard his voice she withered like a stricken flow­ er. George Adolphus was puzzled. So were all the bystanders. It was a very singular case indeed, they all said. Presently, however, Maud rallied, as she and George Adolphus were left alone. " Do'you remember me ?" she asked, faltajringlv. " Do yo;u remember having seen me "befoite ?" Suddenly the truth flashed i pon George Adolphus like a national conven­ tion bulletin. , " Yes," he replied, making an effort to control himself ; "1 remember a former meeting with you very well." "I think papa would give his con­ sent," said Maud, very timidly. " But you are not going to try it again ? " said George Adolphus in sur­ prise. •' Oh, dear, no! " exclaimed Maud, " I don't mean that. I think papa would give his consent to--that is--I don't think he'd object." "Object to what?" asked George Adolphus, blandly. " Oh, dear ! " exclaimed Maud. "Do you mean to say," continued George Adolphus, " that you don't think the old man would object to your trying it again after the water is let out ? " "No," said Maud, "I don't mean that, for he is very fond of nie, and I am sure he would be glad to encourage so worthy a--that is--oh, what am I saying?" Then George Adolphus began to see how the land lay, but, as a ball-room is not a favorable place' for a tableau, lie mastered his impulse to •catch Maud in his arms, and merely observed in a whisper that she was a gem of the first water, and that he would give his con­ sent, too. Old Muller sat in his library that night when Maud and Adolphus entered the house, and the young man was soon prostrated at his feet, clasping him tightly around the legs, and imploring his permission to marry his daughter. " Ahem !" remarked Muller. George Adolphus thought this rather meaningless remark was a favorable in­ dication, and so squeezed the old man's legs harder than before. " Come, young man," said Mr. Mul­ ler, " you are filling my slippers with tears. Rise tip and let go mv legs." " Oh, do you give your consent ? " sobbed George Adolphus. "Consent !" roared the old banker. " heavens and earth ! Of course I do. Here, Maud, take this lunatic away and get me a dry pair of socks." And they were happy ever afterward. --Detroit Free Press.

The clock had just struck 11, and the town was as silent as the grave, when two villainous-looking men, with muffled faces, broke open the street door of a large mansion where an ancient bachelor lay dreaming of a supercilious maiden who had declined to meet him in her par­ lor a few hours before. The men passed safely into the house, and were seen standing by the bedside of the dreamer. A moment later a swift blow fell upon the unconscious millionaire, but before it could be repeated the assassin was stricken to the floor. His companion es­ caped. The police were summoned by the servants, who had by this time been aroused by the noise, and the captured man was led away in irons. " Who is this voung man that has followed these villains and risked his own life to save minej?" asked the wounded man. " My name is George Adolphus Clar­ endon," was the prompt teplv.

COSMETIC .̂ , Hie telfiii cosmetic refers to every kind of personal adornment, with the exception of dress. It is derived from a Greek word that signifies " I beautify ;" it has a rather wide signification, com­ prehending not only carmine, pearl white, etc., but pomatums, depilatories, and many other substances. The practice of using cosmetics is of very ancient date. It is mentioned in several parts of Holy Writ, and a notion of the prevalence of these substances among the classic people of antiquity mav be learned from the writings of Ovid, Martial and Juvenal. Perfumes are closely allied with cos­ metics ; their object is the improvement of personal appearance, as well as the diffusion of an agreeable odor. Although the consumption of per­ fumery at the present day is enormous, the luxurious Greeks and' Romans, at a certain epoch of their history, far sur­ passed the modern in this respect. Al­ cohol was a thing unknown to them; their perfumes were for the most part confined to such as had an oily basis. Their value as curative agents w"as very great; an appropriate perfume was given to each particular organ. Palm-oil was considered good for the cheeks and breasts; balsam mint for the arms, and wild thyme for tlie knees and neck. The odor of violets was held in great esteem by the Athenians. Myrrh was a favorite with both Greeks and Romans ; beside being a constituent of perfumed oint­ ments, it was used in fumigation. Safest Cosmetics.--The vegetable ex­ tracts are infinitely superior to tlie min­ eral ones; but the best cosmetics are soap and water, exercise, air, and tem­ perance. With respect to red paints used for the skin, the vegetable reds alone are safe--such as those made from cochineal. Brazil-wood, etc. These are dying substances and are harmless ; but the mineral reds, such as vermillion, red lead and minium, are poisonous, and under no circumstances should be ad­ mitted to the toilet. Pearl white is a preparation of bis­ muth ; it is very pernicious to the skin, and if exposed to the fumes of sul­ phur will turn black. The pomatum of the present day con­ sists of perfumed grease, ox-marrow and other fats. Strictly speaking, tlie word pomatum, as applied to these prepara­ tions, is misused. The original compo­ sition was called pomatum from its con­ taining apple. Gerarde says : " There is made an ointment with the pulp of apples and swine's grease and rose-water which is used to beautify the face and take awav the roughness of the skin, which is called in -slioj) pomatums, of the apples whereof it is made," Tlie pomatums of the present day do not con­ tain a particle of apple. A Decayed Treasure. Mr. .T. R. Alexander, who lives about live miles northeast of here, in Jackson Comity, in breaking up n piece trf newly- cleared land, a few days since, plowed up a box twelve inches long and eight inches square. Th# plow striking it, it burst open. The contents had been so far de­ cayed that when the air struck them they crumbled to dust. Enough to show that j they had been paper bills of the denoni- j ination of #100. In the lid of the box j were cut in rude letters: "August 23, j 1864--$18,000." The story in relation to this is as follows, aud was given to us by | Mr. Alexander: Mr. Alexander was a fed­ eral soklier, and at the time of the Law­ rence raid, was stationed at Osceola: These forces were {mlered to Pleasant Hill to intercept Quantrell. They met him on the west bank of Big Creek, one and a half miles from this town, and dis­ persed him. Quantrell ordered his men to rally at Snihills.' Tlie federals re­ mained at Pleasant Hill, and were order­ ed to break up into companies. Mr. Alexander's company captured five men whose nanu s were George Gann (who lives in GreentownValley), Bledsoe iind Iiisle (Mr. A. says lie forgets the other names), and also a boy eighteen years old captured at the same time. The boy was court-martialed and shot here next morning for burning to death some women and children at Lawrence. Lisle turned State's evidence and inform­ ed on the others. Gann, Bledsoe and one other were taken to Clinton, court- martialed and shot. Lisle was taken to Lexington and serveil in the sunn- way. When Gann, Was taken out to be shot, he said he had buried $18,000, which he had taken from the Lawrence banks, on the bank of a creek at the south edge nt Jack­ son County. He told Adjutant-Grneral Doyle that it wouKl never do him (Gann) any g< od, and he'd l>e d--d if it should do him (Doyle) any good. Mr. Alexan­ der was present when Gann was shot, and heard the conversation, and saw Gann shot. He says Gann <lied like a brave man, refusing to be blindfolded or to kneel. Mr. Alexander tells a straight story, and we have no right to doubt its correct­ ness, Many Wlio are now citizens here remember the shooting of the boy, and know the place where he was buried.-- J'leasarU Hill {Mo.) Eevuw. A Petrifled Body. About thirty years since a steamboat was suuk in one of the Alabama rivers, and a number of her passengers were lost. On board were several persons, residents of Kershaw county, South Carolina--two of them belonging to Cam­ den, a lady and gentleman, whose bodies were recovered and forwarded here. That of the lady was interred in the family burial-ground, just outside of the town. Two other bodies had been bur­ ied there, one of them ninety years ago. Not long since the graves were opened in order to reinter the bodies in the cemetery. On reaclung the investments of tlie lady's body, which had been in­ closed in a burial-case, zinc and a box, all were found partially destroyed ; but, to the utter surprise of the workmen, the body had not pat-Bed into corruption, being nearly p rfectly p^trifi d aid ss " white as chalk," as the men said. T .o hair on the head was preserved--a part attached to the head and a portion be­ side it. The body was so heavy as to require five or six men to remove'it, and, in doing so, the head was broken off. The slippers on the feet jwhon first seen appeared perfect, tyut, in a moment, crumble^, while a fe\l o£*the)patterns Jbf the dres4 were appaiently unchanged. On opening the other graves in the same locality there was nothing but, a dark line of earth foimd of onw, and a few partially decayed bones of the other. -- I"tica (X. Y.) Observer, A time Jske. In the Jew of Dickens, Scott and Shakspeare, known respectively as Messrs. Fagin, Isaac and Shylock, may perhaps be found a national ideal of the manhood and generosity of the olden time. Such generosity, indeed, is. not uncommon at the present day. In a turbid stream which flows through a village not a thousand miies from Mil­ waukee a human " floater" was recently found. A Hebrew gentleman happen­ ing to pass by while the body was being taken from the water thought that he recognized the lineaments of a brother Israelite, and, being in a generous frame of mind, he offered to assume all of the expenses of a decent burial, which amounted to about $40. The interment was properly made, and about a week of two afterward the Jew found out that hoi had paid to bury an Irishman. Theii he sued tlie undertaker to get back his $40, but the Jury stood four to two against him, and he now mourns, as did Rachel, refusing to be comforted. It's a very grave joke indeed on the Jew, this paying for tlie burial of an unfort­ unate Irishman.--Milivaukee Setvs. ALL SORTS. (v I I HI WiP NATURES REMEDY.

A PARLIAMENTARY return, just issued, ' of cases of eviction which have come j under the knowledge of the constabu- j lary in Ireland shows that during 1877 j 406 families were evicted : in 1878, 884 ; families ; and in 1879 there were 1,098. I During the current year, up to June 20, J there have been 1,0(50 families evicted. | The aim of Mr. Forster's bill is to pre- J I vent further extermination. Hence land- I lords' opposition. i EXPERIMENTS made with begasse, the j remainder of sugar cane after the sap | and pith have been removed, show that • that substance can be successfully util- 1 ized in the manufacti\re of paper. A | strong wrapping- paper can LIE made of j it without any other stock. It is be- S lieved, also, that if the material is chem- j I icallv treated & good book paper can be ! , produced ixom it. Thus a new industry j ' is off-red to the South and West. • J , WILL CURE Scrofula, Scrofulous Homor. Cancer, Canceron* Hnmnr, Brysipela*.
