The" dainty aveDder morning robe, lined with deli­ cate pink, set off her fair complexion find auburn hair. The silk was laid J§»ck from a beautiful neck, and the . toose Japanese sleeves revealed white, S>anded arms thrown above her head. ier deep violet eyes were shaded by v liark. curling lashes, and she was al- fcnost dropping off into a doze when a bright flash aroused her. She opened those wondrous eyes wide, startled and Surprised, but only her lovely, slightly . flushed face in the glass before her an­ swered back her look. She arose, Showing a wonderful form clad in the painty gown, and, going lazily to the ^window overlooking the court below, ; j>urted the lace curtains and peeped ' out. She started back, a rich blush dyeing her skin, for opposite, not a Jhalf dozen rods away, in a window as high as her own, stood a gentleman, jhandsome and decidedly chic, holding ft hand-mirror, from which he had dex­ terously thrown a ray of light into Pearl's face. His lips parted in * sweet smile as for an instant her eyes looked into his, but Pearl, heated, angry, discomfited, had (shrunk away from the window and did not see it. Her maid with her chocolate created for a moment a diversion of her thoughts. But presently her mind wandered back to herself, aad she said to herself: "I hate him! The audacity of the ^wretch! I shall be ob.iged to keep the blinds down after this. I wonder who he is. He must be a stranger, for I've never before seen him. I wish I had yet to see him, for I'll not forget soon my mortification. How dared he!" And the. violet eyes blazed with indig­ nation. Days of rain and mist kept Pearl "within <?oors, for she was much of a pussy-cat, and dreaded any dampness. But one morning, breaking clear and bright, she arrayed herself in a stylish spring costume and walked"peacefully down to a noted jeweler's, where she made the purchase of a birthday gift. But Pearl was hard to suit, and the obliging clerk placed all his lovely . •wares before her, anxious to please, and happy in the consciousness that he was waiting upon ft lady, and a beautiful one at that. A naughty little frown cut the white forehead about which t,he auburn hair, lite the color of burnished gold, lay so lovely. The dainty head ' was perched, bird-like, on one side. And then on the other, as she considered and reconsidered the advisability of one, the appropriateness of another, or the usefulness of a third article. Pearl's presents were always highly appreci­ ated, just because she gave so much thought to the selection. At last, raising her head with a sigh of relief, she #aid to the smiling clerk: "I will take this freshner," and gaz­ ing past the clerk's head, saw in the mirror back of him, the reflection of her tormentor of a few days back, who, standing at the opposite counter, had evidently been admiring the reflection of her face, in the same mirror. She dropped her eyes betraying no surprise aior displeasure, nnd failed to see the look of almost adoration spread over the gentleman's face as he turned away. But the clerk was very much sur­ prised at the haughty expression on his customer's face, as he handed her th9 parcel, attributing her change of man­ ner to some stupid blunder of his own, and making himself miserable thereby for the rest of the day. Pearl wended her way home, sadly and dejcctedly, for she felt as though an insult had been offered her, and it hurt her sensitive soul immeasurably. The night of the great Van Halsten ball was fast approaching, and Pearl, asrain seated before her mirror was watching the deft fingers of Lizette, -who was piling the reddish gold hair into becoming masses on her shapely head. A large pearl pin was fastened among the meshes and the soft curls clung to her neck at the back of her head. With a pat or two, Lizette said, "Es is all don mamselle." For a moment Pearl gazed critically at the reflection, and then with a satis- lied tone said, "And now my dress, Lizette." The beautiful costume of faintish lavender, and deep violet, made a beau­ tiful picture of Pearl. A string of her namesakes about her neck were her only jewels. Great velvety purple pansies nestled in the corsage, and dainty gloves and slippers finished the ccutume, over which Lizette threw a pale pink wrap. This was Pearl's first season, and al­ though by no means her first ball, she Btill anticipated great pleasure. She chatted gaily and happily with her chaperon, as they drove away. Smiles chased over her face, showing bewitch­ ing dimples in the soft rounded cheeks. The great mansion was ablaze with light, and the air was heavy with fra­ grance of flowers. Pearl, in her beauty and becoming costume, was the center of an adoring group, and dance after dance was given to devoted attendants, •who sought so anxiously for a favor. Her adorable baby face was, turned up saucily to a pair of dark eyes above her, and a gay reply to his earnest question was trembling on her lips, when in the mir­ ror back of him, she again saw the re­ flection of her unknown tormentor. This time she gazed steadily and scorn­ fully back at him, but he, be ding his regal head smiled gloriously at her, and murmured with his lips, "Forgive me." All her displeasure vanished, and she gave back a bri< t answering smile, which, mistaken by the cavalier at her side, for one to himself, warmed his heart, for many days. The music was echoing down the long • corridors and halls, and the ball was at its height. Pearl, dancing lightly and airily, lost none of her pris­ tine freshness, while other girls beside her gave furtive "dry Washes" to their flushed faces. Presently, before the belle cfi the evening. Pearl, bent the most distinguished of all the evening's guests, Randolph Burton, her hero of the mirror. A slow, lazy waltz, full of an undertone of feeling, they had, and after his first whispered "forgive me" ia her ear, they had floated away in silence, the observed of all observers. The Rtrains of the waltz died away, as' he led his partner into the dim fragrant conservatory, seating her under a rose arch, whose flowers touched her cheek. He stood above her until she tipped her rosebud face up to his, under the magnetism of his look. His voioe, deep, cleat and musical, broke the sweet silence, as he said, oalmly, but with an elo­ quent look: "You have not said you had forgiven me, Miss Pearl ?" "Forgive you?" she answered, a slow •mile breaking over her face, and be­ traying shy dimples. "I have nothing to forgive." "But I caused yon annoyance, and perhaps pain, more than once, and un­ intentionally, too. How could I help myself?"--the last very softly, and dan­ gerously tender. Pearl, as though under a spell, could not respond lightly as was her wont. Her eyes drooped shy, aud her smile died away, Sitting down beside her, he clasped the listless fingers in his own, so strong and white, and leaning over her, said: "I love you, Pearl. I have loved yon from afar for weeks and months. Morn­ ings I have watched you in your room, and my heart has gone out to you. Everywhere I have met you as a stranger. You gave me not even a passing glance, and I loved yon so! PearL, tell me, darling, that some day you, too, will love me." What strange, sweet thrill possessed Pearl, she could not tell. Was she yield­ ing to an utter stranger her heart, her love? And still wa* he a stranger? She knew of him, of his greatness, of his goodness, and of his genius, Al­ though she had met him for the first time to-night. Aud that he, so vastly her superior, should love her! A burst of love and tenderness filled her heart, and lifting those shy sweet eyes, to the face above her, she let it shine oat in an unspoken answer. With a clasp, strong and tender, he took her to his heart and kissing her rapturously, murmured: "My darling, my love forever 1" Thought, and Its Calttvnllon. It has been said that it requires more art to be a good listener than a conver­ sationalist. What an incentive to elo­ quence is an attentive listener! What triumphs have come before the foot­ lights through an enthusiastic audi­ ence! What symphonic poems have been sung upon instruments whose swaying bows were guided by sympa­ thetic, silent listeners! How beautiful, indeed, is thought! However hard and mean one's toil, fan­ cies can rise, such as might have had their birth midst woods and flowers. How maby brilliant writers have been utter failures as talkers; aud, alas! how many talkers would have been consid­ ered wise but for the expose their con­ versation makes! Men cannot all be authors, but they can be thinkers. On the street, in the car, we can pursue our silent thought, till time and space become obliviou--till, as Lowell has said: What we long for, that we arc, For one transcendant moment; Until the Present, poor and bare , Can make its sneering comment. Ever superior to adverse circum­ stances, obvious to pain and hardship, can we become by cultivating thought. We all know how subtle is its influence, though a silent worker. The sudden impulse to speak of previously forgot ten subjects has often been traced to the effect of some contiguous mind. The presage of some event is often felt by persons givon to "presentiments. It is only through persistent, untiring thought that grand results are born. All are prone to look upon inventions as spontaneous creations; "but there is no class of men so absorbed in one idea as inventors -- making everything and everybody subservient to their moods, till, at last, the result is given to the wondering world; and the inventor again plunges into seclusion, and the world and its surprise are lost to him as he thinks out another so-called "discov­ ery." Then, in the literary world there have been many inspirations of the moment, but earnest, deep thought has preceded, and, at least, indirectly brought the great production. The supremacy of the mind has be­ come an absorbing movement toward treatment of disease. And every con­ scientious physician knows how great is the subjection of the body to the mind. Through our thoughts we maKe for ourselves a sphere, from which emanates unconsciously a power for good or evil. Life's more than breath and the quick round of hlood. We live in thoughts, not breaths. He moBt lives who thinks most--lives in one hour more than in hours do some. Then, let us think, then speak; think, then act; and life will round^it- self to higher meanings--nobler ends! Cockneys. A fnnnv legend exists about the origin of the term Cockney applied now chiefly to the lowest class of Londoners. An East-end person, who had never been out of London in his lite, had oc­ casion to go into the country, and was detained all night. He was much dis­ turbed by the lowing of the cattle, the grunting of the pigs, and other sounds of country life with which he was not familiar. In particular he was fright- eued by the crowing of a oock. When he rose in the morning he said, in re­ sponse to the inquiries of the farmer, that the sound of the wiid beasts hud kept him awake. Just at that moment the cock crowed agaiu, and the Lon­ doner said: " That's the one; he's been neighing like that for hours!" Since then, it is suggested, London­ ers have beeh called Cockneighs or Cockneys. Camden says that the real origin of the term -is this. The Thames was once called the Cockney, and, therefore, a Cockuev dimply means one who lives on the banks of tho Thames.-- Pick- Me-Up. ' The Methodist Church at Mavville, N. J., has hit upon a novel plan to raise money to pay the church debt. It has established a summer boarding-house | at Chautauqua. All the attendants, j except the cook, give their services free, and eveft the provisioms are donations. GEMS OF THOUCMT^ [From the Rain's Horn.] f ; THE devil is always very polite whan he first comes to you. You will never know men until yon learn to love them. . No MAN can lift himself an inch by thinking about himself. IF young meu did not drink there would be no drunkards. Tri*k wisdom come* from to Him and rests in Him. To KNOW the truth is the gate that opens into the way of life. People who kill, lions learn to shoot by practicing on other things. The preacher who always aims at the head will never hit the heart. Tki'TH is God's eternal straight line, unbendable and unbreakable. THE man who is not religions at home is not religions anywhere, r - ON one side is life and on the other death. On which side are you ? GIVE the right man wings and he will know what to do with them. THE man who never praises his wife deserves to have a poor one. THE hardest battles we fight are the ones we have with ourselves* BEFORE great' victories can be en­ joyed great battles must be fought. It is not (he beginning of wickedness that damns the soul, bat the never stopping. KEEP your eye fixed on the cross and you will be sure to walk straight into heaven. THE devil would rather put a long face on a Christian than sell a barrel of whisky. IF you want to have a good preacher treat the one you have' the best you know how. IF you are willing that God shall use you, you will always have steady em­ ployment. God's hold on a man is uncertain as long as the devil's claws run clear through his pocket-book. No MAN will ever be willing to know the truth about God until he first finds out the truth about himself. IF you want to be a Christian and do not begin to be one at once, it may be that you will never be one. UNLESS your religion makes vou think, love, hepe and act like Christ, there is something wrong about it. THE saddest truth of which it is pos­ sible to conceive is that man is not. will­ ing to find out the truth about God. One of the saddest things of which it is possible to conceive, is that man will not believe what God says about him. It is a blessed thing for a man to get religion in such a way that he don't have to leave his money in the devil's bank. GOLD gives to everything that touches it something of itself, but Christ makes every one He touches like Himself. As Quick as Ughtnlpg. According to the Sau Francisco Ex­ aminer, the quickest thing next to electricity is a snake. Well-behaved serpents are always interesting. But for the unfortunate information that one gave tc Miss Eve before she eloped with Adam when he wa# head gardener of the Eden ranch, there would be snakes iu more respectable families than there are to-day. A Cleveland snake professor says that "hissing pythons and cobras will eat at any time except when they are bliud and shed­ ding their skin. They won't touch any­ thing then. Another queer thing about them is that they won't eat anything but white aqimals. Wait; Pll show you," and taking a young rabbit out of its cage he placed it in the box with the snakes. They did not move for about a minute. Then one of the pythons raised its head and fastened its eyes upon bunny. The rabbit's ears dropped, its eyes eloped and it began to tremble. All at once the snake shot forward, and, seizing it by the back of the neck, coiled itself around it and began crushing out its life, then turning it over began to swallow it. The pythons head under ordianarv circumstances was not larger than a thumb joint on a man's hand, yet when it seized the rabbit its jaws became dislocated in such a way that it was able to start the rabbit's head into its mouth. Then by a peculiar motion it began slowly to swallow its prey. As the snake worked backward and forward its head stretched to many times the natural size, until finally bunny's hind legs dissapeared down the python's mouth. Duelling:. It is almost impossible now for any reader even in the Southern States to understand the condition or opinions of society with regard to dueling fifty years ago. One or two anecdotes told lately by a venerable lawyer from the South will illustrate it A member of Congress from Georgia on his return home fought a duel with an old fr^nd. Both men were seriously wounded and were carried home, as it was feared, to die. "What could induce you to fight with Jones ?" asked a friend of the challenger. "What was th« quarrel about?" "I don't know. Either he was angry because I did not bow to him on the street, or I was angry because he did not bow to me. I forget which." A member of a famous fire-eating family in South Carolina when an old man discovered, while on a visit to Charleston, that the son of a friend, a lad of 16 years, was about to fight a duel. He interfered to prevent it, and succeeded with difficulty. Entering a club-room filled with the leading men of the city that afternoon he said, in a loud voice: "Tom and Jim were going out to­ morrow and I have put a stop to it. I only am to blame, gentlemen. I con­ sider the practice of dueling brutal and barbarous. It ought to be frowned upon by every gentleman. But if any gentleman here differs from me, my I name is Blank, and I am stopping at I Dash Hotel, where I will be ready to j answer for my words at any time' he chooses."--Youth's Companion. For Others. "Yes, gentlemen," he said, as he stood on the steps of the postoffice, "we are being ground into the earth by tax­ ation." "How much property do you own?" asked one of the group. "None, sir." "How much taxes do you pay?* ' "Not a red." "Then what is it to you?" "A great deal, sir. I feel for others. In fact, I am drawing a salary to feel for others, and if I don't leel it will be taken away and I'll have to go to work." --Detroit Free Frets.

Mr. Lincoln was of a peculiarly sym­ pathetic and kindly nature-. These strong characteristics influenced, very happily, as It proved, his entire political career. They would not seem, at first glance,^to be efficient aids to political success; but in the peculiar emergency which Lincoln, In the providence of God. was called upon to meet, no vessel of common clay could possibly have become the "chosen of the Lord." Those acquainted with him from boyhood kn^w that early griefs tinged his whole life with sadness, ills partner in the grocery bustnens at Salem was "Uncle" Billy Green, of Tallula, 111., who used at night, when the customers were few. to hold the grammar while Lincoln recited his lessons. It Was to his sympathetic ear Lincoln told the story of his love for sweet Ann Rutlidge; and he in return, offered what comfort he could when poor Ann died, and Lincoln's great heart nearly broke. "After Aun died," says "I'nclc" Billy, "on stormy nights when the wind blew the rain against the roof, Abe would *et thar in the grocery, his elbows on his knees, his face in his hands, and the tears runnin' through his fingers. I hated to see him feel bad, an' I'd say, 'Abe don't cry;' an" he'd look up ah' say. 'I can't help it, Bill, the rain's a fallln' on her.' " , There ate many who can sympathise with this overpowering grief, as they think of a lost loved one, when "tho rain's a fallin' on her." What adds poignancy to the grief some times is the thought that the lost, one might have been saved. Fortunate, Indeed./is William Johnson, of Corona, L. I., a builder: Who writes June 28, 1800: "Last February, on ("returning from church one night, my daughter complained of having'a pain in her ankle. The pain gradually extended until her entire limb was swollen and very painful to the touch. We called a physician, who, after careful examination, pronounced it disease of the kidneys of long standing. All we could do did not seem to benefit her until we tried Warner's Safe Cure; from the first she com­ menced to improve. When she commenced taking it she could not turn over in bed, and could just move her hands a little, but to-day she is as well as she ever was. I believe (owe the recovery of my daughter to its use."

He took his place and all went well until a o'ejoek the next morning, when he heard the sound of some one approaching. "Halt!" yelled Pat. "Who conies there?* "The officer of tho day," responded tho newcomer, and gave the countersign. "And faith." says Pat, "and what busi­ ness has the officer of the day to be pokin' around at night? Char out or I'll put a bullet hole through yi»r." And the officer had to clear. "IT is not intellectual work that in­ jures the brain," says the London Hos­ pital, "but emotional excitement. Most men can stand the severest thought and study of which their brains are capable, and be none the worse for it; for neither thought nor study interferes with the recuperative influence of sleep. It is ambition, anxiety and disappointment, the hopes and fears, the loves and hates of our lives, that wear out our nervous sys­ tem and endanger the balance of the brain."--Dr. Foote's Health Monthly. PROFESSOR AUSTIN, who Is making an analysis of the Passaic River, New Jer­ sey, water, a few days ago made an in­ teresting experiment. He placed several corks and some deleterious matter in the river at the point where Passaic City sewers empty. In throe hours and fif­ teen minutes the msftter floated down the river to the Newark pumping sta­ tion. Inasmuch as it requires six hours for the tide to run out, the experiment indicates that Passaic's sewage floats miles beyond the pumping statlonif oT Newark and Jersey City. Mover Neglect a Cold.

Henry worshiped her--he might kiss the hem of her garment, but to kiss her lips or cheek--the very audacity of the thought made him tremble. They sat together by the sea looking out on the track of the moon's light which white-winged yachts were cross­ ing now and then. "It was a witching hour. A scene for love and calm delight." Suddenly she moved slightly away from him. "Please, Henry, don't do that;" she said. "What?" he asked In genuine surprise. "Oh! you needn't tell me," she replied. "You were just going to put your arm around my waist--and you were going to try to kiss me." "Dear Lillie " "Oh! you needn't tell niie different; you w*re going to do it. Well, after all, I suppose you are not to blame. It is just what a lover would do to his sweetheart, and I suppose I must not be offended if you do do it." And Henry grasped the situation and did exactly what Lillie supposed he would do. and the moon grinned, and the stars winked, and the wavelets laughed, and a mosquito that was about to alight on the maiden's cheek flew away and settled on the nose of a grass widow who was sitting near the band stand.

Pkofkrsor Asapii FT all, who has used the big telescope at the United States Observatory in Washington for measure­ ments of Saturn during the last fourteen years, finds the time of rotation of the planet to be about 10 hours 14 minutes •J4 seconds. This i9 nearly fifteen min­ utes less than the period sifted in most of the astronomical text-books published in the latter half of the present century, but is remarkable as being only one hundred seconds less than the period assigned to it by Sir William Berscliel. That astronomer of a century ago ob­ tained his results in this particular by the aid of an« instrument far inferior to qiany of the so-called smaller telescopes of to-day, and the fact is testimony to the wonderful ability of the man whose name was for years given to the planet he discovered, now generally called Uranus.

An extraordinary advance in the use of cocoa seems to have taken place of late years in England. In the House of Com­ mons. this last session, the Right Hon. 6. J. Goschen, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, called attention to it as a cause for much of the falling off of the use of coffee. He at­ tributed It in a measure, to the position a preparation of cocoa known as "Grateful and Comforting" had taken. In accord with this suggestion. 11 maybe interesting to fol­ low the course cocoa has taken In England since 1832, when the duty, which had been standing at fid. per pound, with an importa­ tion of under half a million pounds, was reduced to 2d. per pound, and not long after we And the homoeopathic doctrine of medicine introduced into the kingdom, and that the use of cocoa was specially ad­ vocated by physicians adopting that mode of practice. Soon after we find the first homoeopathic chemists established In En­ gland (the firm of James Epps & Co.) pro­ duced a special preparation which only needed boiling water or milk to be at once ready for the table, and the superior char­ acter of this production has, no doubt, done much, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer said, to bring about (backed as It was by a further reduction of the duty to Id. per pound) the advance made.
