T*'* ** ••••-- -'S NEVER LCtfED BEFORE, II Aorelisi Hastings was Sve-and- tmiaty -- maybe six and-twenty -- but •till of an exceedingly romantic tarn of mind. At that age, perhaps, we should pardon a girl a little anxiety on the aoore of getting a mate ; and, no doubt, Aurelia nad felt that anxiety, hat an unfortunate peculiarity had, so far, prevented her from realizing any matrimonial hopes she may hare enter­ tained. This peculiarity grew <mt off bar romantic nature, and was no more nor laws than a desire to wed with a man who had never loved anybody, and who loved her entirely. - Nbw, considering that it is quite im­ possible to find a man of marriageable age who has not loved at least half a doxen girh, it cannot be at all surprising thai Aurelia, at five of six-and-tweuty, remained single. • But, on the occasion of a small and select party, at the house of a neighbor, she was much impressed with the beauty Qf a pair of dark and splendid eyes belonging to a gentleman whom she had never met before--a Mr. Dudley Shaw--a gentleman of limited means, limited brains, some taste and an inordi- amount of vanity. He had seen a good deal of what pursuit what little money he had started in life with, and at the age of three-and-forty found himself with a dozen Igray hairs, plenty of elegant garments, and vul­ garly speaking, "nary red." As such an estate in life ia not very lxQariousr Mr. Dudley Shaw felt it to Inquire some variety. "Marriage," he reasoned, "impart- eth respectability and position. If I marry, I may find a fat opening for re­ munerative business somewhere. But I rejoice not in the acquaintance of any heiress whatsoever, and my case de­ manded) immediate attention; therefore I will marry the first eligible maiden who presenteth herself, with just a little money, and then--we shall see what we •hall see." It was with this conclusion fresh ai>4 firm in his mind that he went to Mrs. Bentley's party, and met Aurelia Hast- . ings. She maneuvered a little, as young ladies of 26 can maneuver, soon oaoght an opportunity for an introduc­ tion to the possessor of the splendid eyes. He, shrewd, keen rascal that he was, saw through her innooent little taetios at once, and commenced thereupon a counter-series. Very shortly, too, he diacovered her penchant for a first love. In conversation he endeavored to show her that he was very favorably im­ pressed with her, and she did not con­ ceal that she was--well, 1 will say, mudh interested in him. Bat she observed that he aeemed a ' little sad, He rolled Lis eyes, lie sighed furtively, he bit his lips and evidentlv bad a secret sorrow " somewhere un­ der his waistcoat In short, he enlisted lifer sympathies, and thus laid the found­ ation of a stronger feeling than pity, though one akin to it, .As for her, she seemed on the straight path toward captivataon. Mr. Shaw's neck-tie, his manner, his whiskers, and, atbve his eyes, had insinuated them­ selves into her admiration in a wonder­ fully short time and to a wonderful ex­ tent. The only thing she feared was, that he must have indulged in the tender pas­ sion before. And, as we have seen, she aeorned the thought of accepting a heart that had been defaced by the image of another than herself. When the party broke up that night, after Aurelia and Shaw had been mo­ nopolizing each other to a scandalous extent, the gentleman offered her his arm, and they walked together to her home. " ttespectable-lookinghouse,M thought Mr. Shaw, as the door closed upon Au- , relia. " Bespeaks a respectable family. Oot a little money, I fpucy. I might do better, maybe, but it would be a blessed sight easier to do worse, I ».hiT>lr I'll go in, by jingo ! " As Aurelia had invited him to oall, he soon found oocasion to enter thin «• res- pectf.ble-looking" mansion, and to ex­ hibit his " secret sorrow " once move to , Aurelia, in the best parlor. It is odd how fond people are of show­ ing their private griefs. I knew a fel­ low who captivated three separate girls by a disappointment in early life, that he never got over--so he avers. Indeed, I have made rather a good thin*? myself Out of a " widowerhooa of the heart*" before nbw. , For pity 1b akin to km. And lo?« is akin to amaeement And people like amnaement. Wherefore, people like to get pity for ~ Ifcfir private little griefs. There you have them---the poskuate, two middle terms and the deduction-- iu short, a complete syllogism,. Q. E. D. Dattiey Shaw understood all this as WfiSl as conld be. When he h&d become • little used to AureUa^g manner, he kaew just what to da He sighed more vehemently than ever. He turned up his eyes so that you would have thought he was trying to turn them clear over. He talked a good deal about love and things; and, finally, seating himself on tbto sofa at the maiden's side, he placed his hand upon the left region of his waisteoat front fit was the purple-velvet wafstcoat with dark green sprigs), and apoka id mellifluoua but mournful tOBHSS * " Ali, heaven! has it, then, come at Lwt ?" (Muoh as I exclaimed the other day when I received a bill for three months' piano hire.) Aurelia trembled a little. She was dreadfully afraid that he was going to ixopose to her; and, likewise, that he had proposed to aev«ml other young ladies theretofore. ooofvedand ly " --rnitfcund/* aa the •ay, die looked very calm and oconpoaad (one can do that at 96 if one ia a female), and said, very airily and easily: "What do you relsr to» Mr. Shaw? Has what come ?** Dudley hesitated a cleared his throat with that " ahem t" beloved of parsons. Then he turned up the whites of his eyea dread- fully, again I give you my weed that oaly the sclerotica was visible--clenched his right hand, and fell gracefully upon one knee before her. Excellently well done, Dudley t But it was a pity that he opened his declaration witti so stereotyped and hackneyed a form of expression. I sup- poae, though, fchat he had read this start of thing in the *4 thrilling" style of ro­ mances, and thought it quite au fait Anyhow, when he got comfortably aet- tled on his knee, he began : "Mu» Hastings--Aurelia--my heart is a volcano under anew. For many weary years have I wandered to and fro, up and down the cold, hard world, seek­ ing some light--some light--to--to-be my Jode-Btar on the path of existence. Bnt we--they--that is, I--have not found in all the earth--in the bright galaxy that has shed, its luster about me --no, I have not found one--not one-- whom I oould love--whom I could wish to call 'mine own' furevermore--till now." Artful dog 1 But that wasn't all he •aid. "This it ia that has prematurely weighed me down. I have feared to find BO partner to share my joys and sor­ rows--to wander with me on the path erf my existence--(he said that before)--to amile when I smiled, and to wipe away my tears when I wept," Keally! a pretty occupation for ft wife. " Aurelia, I love yon I For the first time in my |ife I utter those words to a' woman, for only now do they bear any meaning. Will you, O angel! will you be mine ?" He arose from his knee without any answer, for none was needed. Aurelia had been quite overpowered by the first burst of rhetoric, and when it came to the final clause, asserting that Mr. Shaw's love was now for the first time awakened, she gave in completely, and, bending her fair head upon his shoulder, sue gave nim her white hand--a mute but eloquent and satisfactory reply. Tell me, my little dears--you girls who read this interesting tale--candidly, would you like me to show up all the de­ tails of your affairs of the heart, in print, for the delectation of over 100,000 readers? I don't think it. No; I know you won't ask me to tell you all that fol­ lowed. Let poor Aurelia have half au hour to herself, her Dudley and her hap­ piness, and do not ask me to abuse tine author's privilege of intrusion. I'll tell you what I will do. though. I'll describe something that took place soon after--something that will interest --I speak confidently--will interest every single lady who reads it--yes, and the married ones, too. Now, then. One morning, not quite two months after the last scene related, there were several oarriages standing in front <of the respectable-looking house that had attracted Dudley Shaw^ atten­ tion the night he first walked home with Aurelia. In the little front parlor the owners of these carriages were assembled, with some others Mr. and Mm, Hastings were there, comforting themselves a good deal. They were grim but "genteel" for the occasion, as they didn't fancy the match muoh. Susie Martyn, bosom friend and bridesmaid to Aurelia, was there, with her lazy betrothed, Harry Farley, who yawned much, and only wore one white kid glove, because it was such " a blessed lot of trouble, you see, to put the confounded things on." Theil there was the Bev. John Bible- banger, who was to officiate, looking very solemnly funereal, with his " other coat" on, and a white neckcloth of por- tentons size. There were otheis present, too, though of less importance. Wilhelmina NoNab, who wrote acrostics and played the ao- eordeon; Maj. Bompon, who wore plaid trousers and diffused an odor of brandy (one of Shaw's friends) and others, equally interesting^ The principal actors in the affair, off oourse, were Dudley and Aurelia. They were in a most extraordinary condition of good clothes. It is of no bank, TwT dear? LAe a good.

To my mind, though, Susie Martyn looked as interesting as anybody. I suppose Harry Farley thought so", too, only he was too lazy to say it. Har- to be groomsman, but he very nearly forgetting all about it; so Susie In ry was came ad to hunt him up just at the last moment She found him lying on the lounge in the sitting room, with his eyes half shut and a cigar between his teeth. Being, too lazy to smoke, however, the cigar had gone out Susie pulled him violently off the loun.ee and boxed his earn, therebv shaking the cigar ashes all over his shirt-front, until his consciousness re­ turned sufficiently to enable him . to stand up with Dudley. I strongly sus­ pect the only reason why Harry had not married Susie lon«r nnro (t.lvv had Wn three years betrothed) was that he oould not nerve himself up to the task off get* ting ready. When all were ready the "happy pair" stood up, and, after a long, wearisome ceremony, the Rev. J. B. pro­ nounced them man and wife, in the usual manner. Aurelia was very happy, so she cried. Dudley was ^ ery happy, too, but he did not cry. He had made an arrangement for getting a comfortable little berth in the Ayrbubble Banking House, the only previous objection being his celibacy. The Directors desired none but steady, responsible married men. Now he was one pf that sort, so he felt more like laughing than crying. * Why shouldn't Aurelia be happy now ? She had found what she had so long waited for. Her " own dear Dud ­ ley had never looked with love on any woman save her--at least he told her so. What more oould she desire ? Sothing, to be sure; and Mrs. Shaw was in a beatified state for some time- say, two weeks. Maybe she would have continued so to-day had it not been for (me little act in the drama, the closing act of our portion. Mr. and Mrs. Shaw aai at la iialfaali together.

In short, everything was just aa it should be, and oontentment hovered about the festive matutinal board.

As for Shaw, er whatever his name was--he had been growing paler and pale? ever since he heard the name of Mary G. Peters. How proceedings could have been commenced against him, and have gone so far, without his knowl­ edge, he could not imagine. He arose, dashed some ice-water in Amelia's face, laid her on the sofa, and, going to her parents' house, near by, told Mrs. Hastings that her daughter was unwell, and would Hke to see her. He then started for the bank, and was hailed by a clerk, as he reached his desk. " Oh, Shaw! here are some papers that came for you two weeks ago. They were mislaid, and I only found them last night after you left"" They were legal documents; and Shaw knew, then, why he had not be­ fore heard of the proceedings of Mary Peters, Jane Warden and Lucy Baker against him. He pocketed the papers, and, going to the cashier, drew his salary up to the end of the month. " I have some notes to pay this morn­ ing," said he.

"No," he said, gently, "it's no use changing doctors. I don't be­ lieve any doctor could cure you." About 11 o'clock one morning, while he was in his office, he turned to his clerk and said t " Mv wife died this morning at 5 o'clock, i felt so bad I couldn't stay at home, and so came down to the office. I'll have to buy a ooffin, I suppose." "Yes," said the clerk sarcastically, " 1 should imagine a ooffin would be necessary." " S'pose you go over to the undertaker's," said he, "and see what a ooffin would cost; you'd better bring a prioe list" The price list was brought, and the old gentleman, looking over it, said, pointing to the cheapest, " I guess this'll do. Here's her length," handing the clerk a piece of twine. "How wide ?" asked the clerk. " I didn't think of that," said he, "but I guess about so wide," and he held his hands apart. When the undertaker got the order he said he never had one in that shape before, and thought it must be a murder or a suicide. When he learned there was nobody in the house but the hired girl the undertaker said he would send a man along to lay out the corpse and put it in the coffin. Then he told his man to take the bill right around as he wouldn't trust a man a minute who would order his coffin in that way. A hearse and carriage was also ordered and the old man proposed that he ^nd the clerk should act as pall-bearers. The clerk objected, and after a long delay an­ other carriage was ordered and the cierk went out ana hunted up some pail-bear­ ers. . This took ap so much time that they almost missed the train. The clerk said he was never so ashamed of any­ thing in his life, except what happened afterwards, when one day the old man stepped up to his desk, said: "I wish you'd run out and ooe how much you can get for these," laying a Bet of false teeth upon the desk., "They belong to my wife, but she don't need them now." The clerk took the teeth, and going to a jeweler's asked him: "How much are you paying for second-hand teeth?" He 6[>oke savagely, for he' didn't like the business. The jeweler said the teeth were of no use to him, knocked them off and paid for the gold plate. The story got abroad and now it's the regular thing to ask the old man for quotations on second-hand teeth. Early United States History. Congress, on June 11. 1776. resoWed that a committee should be appointed to prepare and digest the form of a confed­ eration to be entered into between the colonies. On the day following a com­ mittee composed of members of one from each colony, were appointed to perform tli at duty. The result of this commit­ tee's labors was seen in the Articles of Confederation which were in due time subscribed and ratified by the several States. The second article contained the following. " Each State retains its sovereignty, freedom and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right which is not by this confederation dele­ gated to the United States, in Congress assembled." In May, 1785, a committee of Congress made a report recommend­ ing an alteration in she Articles of Con­ federation, but no action was taken upon it, and it was left to the State Xjegisla- ture to proceed in the matter. This was taken up by Virginia in Janaury, 1786, and the conclusioa was the great convention which gave birth tc the Constitution. ___ & fe good to be deaf wfcti fte d«- 4ewr te Wk. occasionally severe pains, either the result of rheumatic attacks or colds, but any com- Elaints of that character never troubled him mg, as he had found out a remedy for all such annoying affections. I asked him what the remedy was, and he replied, u St. Jacobs Oil." I then learned from Mr. Pastor that he considered the Great German Remedy an excellent preparation for the cure or relief of rheumatism, and that it was about the only thing «s«*l among professional people for that distressing complaint. He took bottles of it with him whenever he went traveling, and would not be without it, and he knew that it was very popular with a number of members of his own company. A conversation held subsequently with various members of the organization revealed the fact that St, Jacobs Oil had been performing most invaluable- service for them in the way of curing them off rheumatism. Nearly every artist in the troupe used it, and was enthusiastic in its praise, and the writer was really forced to the conclusion that Tony Pastor was certainly in luck in having so valuable an article known and employed by his inimitably-good oompany of performers, for it enabled every ene to be always in his place, thus insuring oomfort to the management and genuine satisfaction to the public, Tony Pastor would certainly be in trouble without St. Jacobs Oil. At least, other managers, whose artists have been temporarily unsupplied, have noticed the difference between St. Jacobs Oil in stock and St. Jacobs Oil out* of stock--among the members of their com­ panies.--N.

Salt Lake, Utah, is seventy-five mifea kogfttMn northweat to aouthei«t and about thirty milee broad. For the most part the lake ia ahallow, aad its surface ia 4,200 feet above sea level. The ont- Hnea of the lake are somewhat irregular, particularly on the eastern side. The lake Kes SB, a vast valley or basic of U» mountains, and is fed chiefly by the waters of Utah Lake, which araconveyod to it by the river Jordan, coming in from the southeast, and by Bear River, which empties its waters into it from the north. ]' There are aome nine islands in the lake,' the principal one being Antelope, Or j Church^Unnd, in the southeast The spring-floods greatly increase the size of the lake, spreading it over extensive tracts, from which, however, it recedes as the summer wears on. As is well ; known, the lake has no outlet The water of the lake is transparent, and is so salty as to form one yf the punwt and most concentrated brines of whioh we have knowledge; it contains twenty- two per cent of chloride of sodium, slightly mixed with other salts. The lake contains no fish, bnt immense num­ bers of gulls, wild ducks, geese, and swans frequent its island shores. The first known mention of the lake was by Baron Hontan in 1689, who gathered some vague notions of its existence from the Indians west of the Missiaaippi General Fremont explored and described it in 1843, and was the first white man to navigate it. Salt Lake City, the Mormon Zion, had, according to the census of 1880, a population at 20,758, against 12,854 in 1870.
