So she consented to make Waldo happy, and 'he was in the seventh heaven of delight. She {lid not Come [u him emptyhanded. The few :nousmds she had of her own seem- cd to him a colossal fortune; she had her little house, too, and quite 9. fine lot of diamondsâ€"some of the Wingspur's family jewels, she told him. but which, if the truth must be told, were presented to her by Mr. Dandy. They began housekeeping in rather a. modest way, and for years they were never too flush of money. They had to wait many years be- fore Waldo became cashier. At last came a grand stroke of luck. Mr. Cnndelent died, leaving Mr. Dandy alone. The bank was at once reconâ€" stituted; Mr. Dandy Wanted new blood, with the solid help of some “vane he could trust. Waldo became a. partner with a fractional share. This gradually increased.‘ till. after some ten years labor, Mr. Dandy withdrew himself almost entirely from business, and left Mr. Waldo with half profits and a clear income of twenty thousand a year. And now Mrs. Waldo began to make the money fly. She revelled in ti ese riches. It was her only com- pensation, she told herself, for mar- rying Waldo, and she meant to make the most of it. Old Waldo degener- ated into a kind of financial Stoker, whose only business was to keep the domestic engines constantly supplied with cash. Otherwise he was quite a cipher in his own houseâ€"in it, but not of it; less at home there than the meanest of the gangs of guests by whom it was continually infested. The “aldos the {anxilv of Whlch Mr. Samuel Waldo banker. Was the nominal head. “ere by Way of being very great people. They had a housel in Carlton Gardens. and made a. great show. Mrs. Waldo aspired to be a leader of fashion. in which questionable ambition she was aided by three smart. “rather rapid” daughters, and the son, by a. first marriage. Captain Wingspm‘. to whom we have already been intro- duced. They kept open house in Carlton Gardens during the sea.- ton, gaVe balls. dinners, and then- trical entertainments. When the summer was at its height Mrs. Wal- do had her day at the Rookery. Kew, and her garden-parties were highly esteemed with a certain fiet.

It had not been always thus, howâ€" ever. Time was when the Waldos were at the very foot of the social Lulder. Thirty years previously Mr- l'aldo had been a simple clerk in the bank: Mrs. Waldo. a young ,Wif JLVwâ€" figiit'hrb’right. bold eyes. iwhich; ”he. had used with considerable efâ€"i (act upon Mr. Dandy. one of the; partners. She was the widow of a; silly youth of good family._ one ‘ of; the Wingspurs, whose marriage had caused a. certain scandal at. the time. Young Wingspur had died con- veniently soon. leaving his wife a. small fortune. and u banking acâ€" count in Mincing Lane. It was in this way that, she came to know Mr. Dandy. She had played her cards to win him. and had failed. Then she came to think more toler- antly of little Waldo. A portly figure, all in decorous, shiny black. save for the but! waist- coat and the snowy shirtfront with its trill. walking with an air that was rather consequential than dig- nified. but with his rosy face fringed with white whiskers. high shirt col- lars. and stiflly-starched light tie, looking the very essence of solid re- Spectabilityâ€"a typical City poten- tate. a. man of wealth and mark, highly esteemed in the east. if not in the west, end of the town. 7 “He'd just do for you.” Mr. Dan- dy had said with a. mocking smile.

Hope you weren't disturbed. sir?" Disturbed! He had passed a sleepless night. Seldom. indeed. could he shut. out. the unccasing din of the fiddles: but. this last, night, the bunker was kept awake by what had occurred at the bank. Poor Surtces! they had been clerks together. had known each other over so long, and now at the end of it, all his old' friend and colleague was accused of robbing the bank. Sleep ! He had tossed. and tumbled. and groaned the whole night, through, seeking in vain to make excuses for the Cashier. The more he thought, over it the blacker and the more impossible of .explanation Mr. Surtec's conduct ap- peared. { Mrs. Waldo. in her struggle up- fwzu‘d to the highest levels, had her slices of good and ill fortune. 'lhe first came to her in a series of acci- dents which made her son heir-pre- fsumptive to the Wingspur peerage. ' It was by no means a. rich title, and lthe Loxd Wingspur for the time be- ”11g was an improvident nobleman. Iwho promptly xealized the advan- ltages which might. accrue from open- ing up friend}; 1elations with Wal- do’ 3 bank. His heart. was heavy within him that morning: he ate little or no breakfast. and it was with none of his customary- nIaCtiLy that he pre- pared to start for flu: City. “Anything else 1 can do. six asked the footmnn “Is the brougham at the door. Albert?" asked Mr. Waldo, a. little doubtfully. "We“, ho, sir: 1 think not. The Capting. I believe, took it. He had to Catch an early train." “You'd better get, me a cab. then." Mr. Waldo was accustomed to be disappointed about the carniâ€" agcs. for which he paid so large a sum every year; "or stay. Albert; I’ll Walk as far as Waterloo Place. and pick up a ’bus.” Her chief cross was the pushing dispositions of her own relatives. especially her sister, Mrs. Bonastre. who after a long struggle had gained an excellent position on the provin- cial stage. She had married an act- or who was also a success, and much to Mrs. Waldo's disgust they came to London to push their for- tunes together. Bonustre was an undemonstrative person, but beneath a Calm surface ran silent depths of cool determination. Mr. Bonastre had a set purpose in coming to Lon- don. This purpose was to have a theatre of his own, and to make money. For the indispensable capi- tal he counted, rightly or wrongly, upon Waldo’s bank. Mrs. Bonastre was a pushing person with a very goodopinion of herselfâ€"a. jolly, oil'- handed, and noisy woman in the prime of life and looks; was fully aware of this, and equally keen. Their chances of success seemed small enough at first. They had not, in fact, been received with open arms at Carlton Gardens. Mrs. Waldo had hinted that she could not have the Bonastres much at the house. Soon after Mr. Waldo started for the bank in the manner I have just described, Mrs. Waldo awoke from rosy dreams. After a couple of hours spent in personal adornment with the assistance of Mdlle. Fanâ€" chette, a treasure of a. French maid, whose almost priceless services she had only recently secured, she came down into‘ her boudoirâ€"a sweet room overlooking St. J ames’s Park, which no one entered except by Mrs. “'aldo's special favor or invitation. She was seated here at a. pretty marqueterie writing-table, in high good humor: for she momentarily expected a. visit from Lady Wing- s‘pur. when Fanchette appeared. With that the City magnate took up his hat. and was about to seek the humble vehicle which daily con- \eys so many other financieis east- Ward, when the butler. making his first appearance. came up to his master and said: ‘\{ademoiselle. sir. has come from Mrs. Waldo. to say that hits.

"Very good." replied Mr. Waldo: say I shall be very pleased to see The fact being that the proposed attention gave him no pleasure at all He knew that such an honor preceded some extravagant. demand upon his purse. “Mrs. Bonastre, ' ma’am, you know. of the Royal. Roscius”â€" the relation Was known only in the faâ€" mily circle, and not yet openly acâ€" knowledged in the houseâ€"“she is most. anxious to see you." "Does she know I am at home?" “Ces jeunes meesâ€" Mrs. Bonastre is with themâ€"said Madame was chez elle.” “My dear," she began, in a. stiff, ungenial way, “you know I am alâ€" ways delighted to see you. "But if you could select, any time but. the forenoon, especially after a. dance, I should greatly prefgr rit. ’ '- “Don't rate me. Relia, as if I was late for rehearsal or had missed my call.

A century ago we were denied Chris: AndiMrs. Bonastre made her exit with much satisfaction. ijs. Waldo remained in no envi- able state of mind. But, soon she smoothed the frowns from her fore- head. and wreathcd her lips in sweetest; smiles to receive Lady Wingspur. Her ladyship was a. bony. angular woman, prematurely grey, with an umnusical voice. and a supercilious stare. But she was evidently anx- ious to be agreeable to Mrs. Waldo. She had come expressly. she said, to say that, at, last the day for the next, Drawing Room had been fixed. Would Mrs. Waldo now make up her mind as to the presentation of her dear girls ? Next after Mrs. Waldo, her (laugh- ters reigned supreme in Carlton Gardens. They had everything pret- ty much their own way. Three loud, bouncing. roystering girls. full of life and spirits, with a. fair share of good looks, fond of apparel some- what too gorgeous, and amusements a little risques and fast. Clara, the eldest, was especially proud of her strength; Augusta, the second. of her horsemanship and driving; He- lena. the third, of her elocution and dramatic powers. "It. is tiny dearest wish that, they should go to Court," said Mrs. Wal- do. with a. sigh. “Dutyâ€"7’: “There need be no difficulty. dear Mrs. Waldo." observed hgr ladyship. warmly. “If you like I will charge myself with the whole aflair." “It is really too good of you, I ady Wingspur, ' she gasped nearly breathless with excitement. "How can 1 thank you sufficiently ?" Heaven seemed opening its portals wide for Mrs. Waldo; disclosing withâ€" in a. vista. of State concerts and State bulls. _ 'i‘l'x'é'éc'ales fell from Mrs. Waldo’s eyes. The presentation, then, was a purely commercial transaction after v-“ _._V_ "a U “I fear you ovérratc my influence, Lady Wingspur. But, I promise to do all I can." The compact, was signed, scaled and delivered in these few words. Yet both parties to the bargain seemed satisfied, and Lady Wingspur took her leave, Mrs. Waldo accom- panying her. As they passed one of the draw- ing-rooms on the same floor with the boudoir nnextraordinary uproar fell upon their cars. a. wild sort of glee or chorus, with a. loud stamp- ing of feet. followed by shouts of laughter. Lady Wingspur looked at Mrs. Waldo inquiringly. "Not. at. all. Between relations, you knowâ€"for of.coursc we are con- ncctod”â€"it, Was the first, time she had made the admissionâ€"“there need be no talk of gratitude." "There is some question about mortgagesâ€"on the Scotch estate. I am so stupid about money matters I cannot explain; but I believe he wants a rearrangementâ€"an advance, I believe â€"â€"-" chhaps you will prepare Mr Wal- do for Loxd Wingspux's visit A w01 d from you would do so much," said Lady Wingspan blandly. Then she got. up to go, but said one last word. Like a lady's post- script, it was the germ and essence of the whole afiuir. "I believe Lord Wingspur is going in a day or two to see Mr. Waldo at the bunk.” ' “Mi-lWValdo will be highly honor- ed.” :tll “It‘s the girls;theyjre rehearsin“. We’re to have some theatricals, you know." ‘ “Oh, 'how interestingâ€"how amus- ing! I delight in theatricals. Do let. us go in; may I, do you think ? May I ?" Mrs. Waldo, in replv, opened the door without ceremony, and the twu ladies walked into the drawing- romn, where five figures were dancing a. mad break-down, Mrs. Bonastre leading as they “walked round," Agatha, Clara, and Helena followed. Last of all came Bob Surtees, with his face blacked. and all were beat- ing hands and feet in time as they sang the chorus to "Nancy Lee," the popular air just. then in vogue. Every one was too busy at first to notice the entrance of Mrs. Waldo and Lady “'ingspur, and for some minutes the wild performance con- tinued. It was not until Lady \Vingspur. having carefully inspected everybody through her eyeglass, said, “Surely it is Mrs. Bonastre‘? I thought I knew her face,” that the latter's attention was attracted.

The children of London's slums think there is no place like home. be it, ‘ over so squalid and poverty- strickcn. buys a recent. London paper. "They miss the flaming naphtha lumps, the Winkle barrows, the hokey-pokey man, and all the other things that have been their life long companions," said Father Stanton, of St. Alban's, Holborn. when asked how the children of the slums take their summer outings in the country. "Then. too. they are afraid of the dark at, night. and are lost in the daytime. in the country.” continued the kindly-faced, great-hearted friend of thousands of street arabs and gutter-gmnins. "They have all sorts of reasons for prm’crring the city to the c0411- try. and some of them are perfectly inexplicable. 0110 little boy wrote to me after his outing last year and said he didnt like the country be- cause while the1e a wasp had stung him. “Another youngster took a day at. Brighton with me in preference to two weeks in the country. and could give no reason for his choice." It; never entered the modest mind of this favorite of the slum children why it was. NO PLACE LIKE THE SLUMS. London Gamins Prefer Town Ex- citement to Rural Peace. “They like going out. in vans best of all." the Father went on, "and then they eat green fruit. and thorâ€" oughly enjoy themselves. “But though they like the hubbub of the city best. and are really glad to get back to it, their brown cheeks and bright eyes tell a merry talc when they return. Then you should hear the amusing stories. they tell, and you would see how their cramp- ed, warped, and stunted little minds have been opened out by' a. glimpse of the green wonderland they know so pitifully little about. Never mind what they say about it, it’s the good the outing does them that we are after." Kangaroo have been known to jump at height of 11 foot.

The boundary line between Italy and Switzerland, between England and Scotland, is not more thoroughly marked than this dis‘tincticm between the empire masculine and the empire feminine. So entirely dissimilar are the fields to which God called them that you can no more compare them than you can oxygen and hydrogen, water and grass, trees and stars. All this talk about the superiority of one sex to the other is am everlasting waste of ink and speech. A jeweler may have at scale so delicate that he can weigh the dust of diamonds, but where are the scales so delicate that you can weigh in them afl'ection, sentiment against sentiment, thought against thought. soul against soul. a man’s word against a. Woman's word ‘? A dcspatch from Washington says: Rev. Dr, Talmage preached from the following text, :â€"Genesis i. 27 "Male and femalc created be them.” You come out with your stereotyp- ecl remark that man is superior to woman in intellect, and then I open on my desk the swarthy. iron typed. thunderbolted writings of Harriet Martineau and Elizabeth Browning and George Eliot. You come on with your stereotyped remark about woman's superiority to man in the item of ail'ection, but I ask you where was there more capacity to love than in John the disciple. and Robert McCheyne. the Scotchman, and John Suuunerfield. the Metho- dist. and Henry Martyn. the mission- ary ‘? The heart of those men was so large that after you had rolled into it the hemispheres there was room still left to marshal the hosts of heaâ€" ven and set up the throne of the TO MAKE HGME HAPPY. ETERNAL Jl‘IHOVAI-I. w“- 1 deny to man the throne Intellec- tual. I deny to woman the throne all‘cctional. No human phmscology will ever define the spheres ivhile there is an intuition by which we know when a man is in his realm and when a woman is in her realm and when either of them is out; of it. No bungling legislature ought. to attempt to make :1 definition or to say, "This is the line and that is the line." Rev. Dr. T almage Speaks of Mother’s Duty. 1 know there are women of most undesirable nature who wander up and down the country. having no homes of their own or iorsaking their own homes. talking about their rights. and we know very well that they themselves are {it neither to vote nnr lit to keep house. Their mission seems to be to humiliate the two sexes at the thought of what any one of us might become. No one would want to live under the law's that such Women would enact. or to have cast upon society the children that such women would raise. But [ will show you that the best lights that woman can own she already has in her possession : that her position in this country at this time is not one of commiseration, but one of congratulation ; that the grandeur and power of her realm have never yet been appreciated ; that she sits to-day on a. throne so high that all the thrones of arth piled on top of each other would not ‘nmke for her a footstool. Her. is ‘the platform on which she stands. Away down below it are the ballot box and the Congressional assemfi blage and the LEGISLATIVE HALL. ‘ Woman always has voted and al- ways will vote. Our great-grand- fathers thought they were by their votes putting Washington into the presidential chair. No. His moth~ er, by the principles she taught him and by the habits she inculcated, made him president. It was :1 Chrisâ€" .tiar mother's hand dropping the balâ€" lot when Lord Bacon wrote, and Newton philosophised, and Alfred the Great governed. and Jonathan Edwards thundered of judgment to come. How many men there have been in high political station who would have been insuil‘icient to stand the test to which their moral prin- ciplc was put had it not been for a wife’s voice that encouraged them to do right and a wife's prayer that sounded louder than the clamor of partisanship ! “'hy, my friends. the right of sum-age, as we men exercise it, seems to be a feeble thing. You, a Christian man, come ‘ up to the ballot box. and you drop your vote. Right after you comes a libertine or a sot. the ofiscouring of the street, and he drops his vote. and his vote counteracts yours. But if in the quiet of home life a'daughtcr by her Christian demeanor. a wife by her industry. a mother by her faithful- ness. casts a vote in the right di- rection. then nothing can resist it. and the influence of that vote will throb through the eternities. My chief anxiety. then, is not that. women have other rights accorded her. but that she. by the grace of loci, rise up to the appreciation of the gLorious rights she ALREADY POSSESSICS. I shall only have time to speak of one grand and al|~absorbing right, that every woman has and that is to make home happy. That realm no one has ever disputed with her. Men may come home at noon or at night. and they tarry n comparativch ly little while, but she all day long governs it. beautiiies it. sanctiiies it. It, is within her power to make it the most attractive place on earth. It is the only calm harbor in this world. You know as Well as I do that this outside world and the busi- ness world is a. long scene of jostlc and contention.

I seemed to dream this dream. It seemed to me that l: was in a far distant landâ€"not Persia, although more than oriertal luxuriancc crown- ed the eities: nor the tropics, al- though more than tropical fruitful- ness filled the gardens: nor Italy, although more than Italian softness tilled the air. And I wandered ‘ around looking for thorns and no: i ties, but I found none of them gre there. And I walked (053,11; mid ‘. saw the sun rise. and I said. “Whe ‘will it set again?" and the sun sank ~ lnot. And I saw all the People in ‘holiday apparel, and I said. “When” will they put on workingman's garb: iagain and delve in the mine an ‘3 [swelter at the forge?" But neith ,' the garments nor the robes did they, Lut off. And I wandered in the subâ€" lurbs, and I said. “Where do they lbury the dead of this great. city??- And I looked along by the hilly where it would be most beautiful to: lthe dead to sleep. and I saw castles {and towers and battlemcntS. but not in mausoleum nor monument nor lwhite slab could I see. And I went iinto the great chapel of the town, and I said. "Where do the poor worâ€" ship? Where are the benches on {which they sit?" And a voice an- swered. “We have no poor in this 1gieat city." And I wandered out: seeking to find the place where were the hovels of the destitute. and I found mansions of amber and ivory Iand gold. but ants seeking less rent; landlords de- manding ' more. Gold fidgety. Struggles about office. Men who are in trying to keep in; men out trying to get in. Slips. Tumbles. I’efalo cations. Panic-s. Catastrophes. O woman. thank God you have a. home; and that you may be queen in it; Better be there than wear :; queen's coronet. Better be there than carry the purse of a princess. Your abode may be humble, but you can by your faith in Get! and your cheerfulnessg‘ demeanor gild it with splendors su . as an upholsterer's hand never yet kindled. NO TICAR DID I SEE or sigh hear. I was bewildered. I sat under the shadow of a gren. tree. and I said “What am I and whence c9. 5 ail this?"- Arc; at" that momen there Came from' 33:10:13 the leaves. skipping up the flowery, paths and across the sparkling we.- tors. a very bright and sparkli group, and when 1 saw their step knew it, and when I heard their. voices I thought I knew thet‘nt but their apparel was so different m5 " anything I had ever seen I bowed, a. a stranger to strangers. But after awhile, when they clapped their. hands and shouted. “Welcome! Web come." the mystery was solved. and 1 saw that time had passed and that; eternity had come. and that God had gathered us up into a higher homo, ' and I said. “Are all here?" and the voices of innumerable generations anv swered. “All here." And while tears of gladness were raining down our. cheeks and the branches of Leb-a anon cedars were clapping their hands and the owners of the great. city were chiming their welcome. we began to laugh and sing and leap and shout. “Home!
