"I thought he would be likely to suit your tastes." "Fine looking! That does not half express it. I think him just splendid!" 'exclaimed Minnie Moore, with genuine enthtudasm. "But only to think of his having a daughter as old as I am I Up­ on my word, I can't believe it." "You'll believe it, perhaps, when you • see her," laughed another one, Sulie i Rose. "She is spending the season at Long Branch, but runs down here every Saturday night, and spends Sun­ day with her father. They are won­ derfully like each other, and 'go on' •like two lovers." "Good gracious!" said Minnie, draw­ ing a long breath. "How I would like to--I mean--girls, don't you sometimes envy his daughter ?" "You mean," corrected sharp-witted k Kittie Hurst, "how you should like to kiss him yourself. Do it, Min 1" "Yes, do it, Minnie, do it! I dare .you!" cried half a dozen merry girls in >a breath. '• "You know I never take A dare, ; girls," said Minnie, her roguish, hand­ some little face turning crimson, "but ' in this case I think I shall have to show the white feather." "Hear! hear!" cried all the girls in a chorus. "Minnie Moore doesn't dare to play a little practical joke!" "Yes, I would dare," cried the little w witch defiantly, "but how could I man- . 3 "Nothing easier," said Kittie Hurst, i "You have only to sit in the dusky par- V" lor a few minutes before the arrival of "0 Miss Claiborne, which will be about J'" twilight.

"I've known your conscience to stretch further than that on more than , one occasion, Min.," said Rachael War- den. "Come, will you dare to do it, or will yott not?" "I will dare anything, and you know it. But you most solemnly vow never to betray me."

And in a! week or two they were the best of ! friends. j "Miss Minnie," said he ohe evening,! the very last before the breaking up of ; summer boarders, "do you remember our singular introduction to feach other j in this very room ?" ! Did she remember? Minnie glanced j around, and the parlor, in its dusky | solitude, with the breath of late roses | and scarlet honeysuckles wafted gently I in through its open windows, brought J back most vividly that other evening, I and those warm, delicious, stolen kisses j whose memory had made her life half I Saradise^ half purgatory, ever since, j 'hey chanced to be alone, and Minnie ! felt painfully embarrassed. Her elo- j quent blushes were her only answer. "Come, Minnie, tell me," he went on, his beautiful eyes brimful of mischief as a schoolboy's, "were you really ex­ pecting. to meet your father on that eventful evening?" "Oh, Mr. Claiborne, don't! please dqp't!" And bright, saucy, daring Minnie Moore, unable to bear another word or look, crossed her arms upon the low window-sill and, bowing her bright head upon them, wept as if her heart would break. Oh, what! a bitter­ sweet memory those kisses in the twi­ light had proved to her! Mr. Claiborne was grieved and shocked at the startling effect of his playful question. Minnie was alway so gay, so full of mischief, he had never dreamed of her taking anything so seriously. But now her bravado was utterly broken down, and she sobbed out the whole story of her foolish joke, and begged his forgiveness like a naughty child. "My dear child," he said at last,strok­ ing her golden hair so tenderly that Minnie thought she would like to sit there forever, "I have nothing to for­ give. I suspected the truth long ago, for I have a mischief-loving little girl of my own, you know. But, indeed, Min­ nie," with one of his rare, beautiful smiles, "it was the very sweetest mo­ ment I, have known for years. If I were not so old--" His voiee ceased here, and he was silent so long that Minnie looked up and saw an expression of such yearn­ ing sadness on his dark, handsome face that it touched her heart with pity. "Oh, Mr. Claiborne, you are not so old !" »he eried, impulsively. "K= one would think so; I am sure I nevei did." Then down went her golden head up­ on the window-sill again, for her words had brought a suddgn light into Mr. Claiborne's eyes that fairly dazzled her. "Minnie--Minnie Moore," he was saying, passionately, "don't trifle with me now. Is it possible that I am not too old to win the love of a bright young girl--to win yours, Minnie?" There was no very audible answer, but once more his strong arms were around her, and his warm, thrilling kisses crimsoning her cheeks again in the deepening twilight, but this time there was no mistake about it. - The gtwHigi Ihsa AarVMUMCaaKsit.

The country boarding-liouse, where our scene is laid, was overhung by the drooping branches of some old elms, whose thick foliage deepened the ithering shadows in the unlighted par- A tall, handsome man, of middle age, whom Minnie had well described as "splendid looking," walked quickly np the path leading from the gate, a happy light in his dark eyes, and a smile of glad expectancy curving the rare, beautiful lips, shaded but not hid­ den by a heavy dark mustache. "I think the train must be in," he was saying to himself, "or else my impa­ tience makes me think it late. I hope she won't disappoint me this evening-- my little darling." Another moment, and he was within the flower-scented, dusky parlor, where, curled up in the depths of a large arm­ chair, in the furthest corner, and half hidden by the window drapery, sat a girlish form, whose heart was beating like a trip-hammer. He advanced at once with outstretched arms, close to the darkened recess. "My dearest child!" "Oh, papa!" And the next instant the little figure was clasped close to his heart, and not only one kiss, but a perfect shower of them, fell eagerly upon her brow and cheek, and dewy, blushing lips. But suddenly there was a little shriek, a startled, well-feigned look of hoiaropr in the girl's uplifted face, and, breaking away from his restraining arms, she hid her crimson cheeks in both white hands, and faltered out: "Oh, let-me go, sir, this instant! Oh, what shall I do? I--I--I thought it was papa!" So she did, the little fraud, but she knew perfectly well that it was another girl's "papa" whom she meant. "It is I who should beg pardon, my dear young lady," said the gentleman, who had stepped back, and was survey­ ing the lovely shrinking little creature with a queer admixture of amusement, embarrassment and pitying admiration in his beautiful eyes. But ere the words had fairly left his lips Minnie was gone, and, throwing herself down upon the bed in her own little room, she buried her hot cheeks among the cool, white pillows, and gave way to a passionate burst of tears. "I never will do such a wild, idiotic trick again--never! I don't care how much the girls will laugh at me for u . • An Elephant's Punishment. Though the white elephant, and all elephants in Indo-China, are held in very high honor, they do not always oc­ cupy a very creditable place in the fa­ bles of the people. There is a long story in the Non-thukpakkaranam about an elephant, Yukunson, who went wild, and rushed about the forest in mad fashion.' He came upon a clump of bamboos, tore it down, and stamped to death the fledglings of a pair of hedge- sparrows, who had their nest there. The bereaved parents were in great tribulation, and fluttered about, bewail­ ing their wrongs. A crow who flew by was touched by their sorrow, and after giving them a deal of religious advice, such as grudging Westerns would be­ lieve him incapable of knowing about, he promised to see that right should be done. The three of them, therefore, went off and struck up an alliance with the frog, and then enlisted the fly on their side. This partnership did not seem very formidable, but the genius of the frog and the crow, both of whom in the story exhibit great wisdom and reasoning ?ower, brought about a final triumph. 'he crow flew over Yukunson, the ele­ phant, and pecked at his eyes. In the wounds the fly laid eggs. These bred maggots, and" the elephant's eyes be­ came terribly inflamed and he lost his sight. He wandered about the forest in torture, and wherever he went the hedge-sparrows flew chattering about his head, abusing him and exulting in his agony. To his other misery was added that of burning thirst. The frog seated himself on the edge of a deep abyss and croaked vigorously to make the elephant think there was water there. Yukunson followed the sound, and, falling over the cliff, was dashed /to pieces. Nevertheless, before he dies he moral­ izes on the wickedness into which even the most pious are led, and acknowl­ edges the righteousness of the fate which has befallen him. His repent­ ance is real, and saves him from the evil transincorporation which should have been the portion of so bad an ac­ tion, but which would have been too great a punishment in the popular idea for so estimable a creature as the ele­ phant--London Saturday Review.

Every child should be cautioned against eat­ ing them; indeed, it is desirable to cau­ tion children about tasting the petals of any flower, or putting leaves into their mouths, except those known to be harm­ less. The oleander contains a dead­ ly poison in its leaves, and is said to be a dangerous plant for the parlor or dining, room. The flower and berries of the wild briony possess a powerful purgative; and the red berries, which attract child­ ren, have proved fatal. The seeds of the laburnum and catalpa trees should be kept from children; and there is a poisonous property in their Dark. The seeds of the yellow and of the rough- podded vetches will produce nausea and severe headache. Fool's parsley has tuberous roots which have been mistaken for turnips and produced a fatal effect an hour after they were eaten. Meadow hemlock is said to be the hemlock which Socrates drank; it kills by its intense action upon the nerves, producing complete insensibility, and palsy of the arms and legs, and is a most dangerous drug, except in skillful hands. In August it is found in every field, by seashore and near mountain- tops, in full bloom, and ladies and chil­ dren gather its large clusters of tiny white flowers in quantities, without the least idea of their poisonous qualities. The water hemlock, or cow-bane, re­ sembles parsnip, and has been eaten for them with deadly effects. The water-dropwort resembles celery when not in flower, and its roots are also similar to those of the parsnip, but they contain a virulent poison, produc­ ing convulsions which end in death in a short time. The fine-leaved.water-drop- wort, and the common dropwort are also dangerous weeds.

When the Physician Should Qalt. Patients who have lost confidence in their physicians should request discon- i tinuance of service. So essential is full | confidence in the treatment of cases of disease that it is a false delicacy to con- I ceal the want of it. It is best for botb I the patient and the physician that there be a change. The code states that i common courtesy and justice require ! that, when a physician is dismissed, the ; reasons should be disclosed. But the ' loss of confidence is in itself a sufficient i reason, no matter how •'unreasonable | the loss may be. A high-minded physi­ cian cannot wish to continue in charge i if he cannot have the confidence of the j patient. He should take the initiative in I the relinquishment of the case whenever he is satisfied that confidence is lost. The reasons for the loss of confidence in some instances may be as indefinite as in the following familiar lines: "I do not like thee Dr. Fell: The reason why I cannot tell: Bnt this I know, and that fnll weB, I do not like thee.

This inquiry is certainly one of great interest, not only as a matter of curiosity but also as a question of practical importance. Some of the Sroblems involved in its discussion ave hitherto baffled all efforts at solu­ tion. All we can do in such cases is to wait, not only for facts and observa­ tions, but alsq for their patient sciens tific discusssion. As yet astronomerl are the only modern prophets whose predictions can be implicitly relied upon. The eclipses of the twentieth century or the positions tw the planets 500 years hence can be foretold with unerring certainty. But let us remem­ ber that in the time of Copernicus even this would have been impossible. Dr. Halley was the first to predict the re­ turn of a comet--a prediction not veri­ fied till 1759. Within the memory of persons now living the appearance oi meteoric showers could no more have been foretold than can rain-storms and tornadoes now. But changes of the weather are as much within the do­ main of law as the motions of comets and planets. He would be a rash man, therefore, who should aflirm that the limit of our knowledge in this direction has already been re iched. At the same time it must be confessed that the ques­ tion is entangled with perplexing diffi­ culties. There are a number of factors to be combined in the calculation. (1.) The influence of the s*n, the great source of our heat; the state of its sur­ face, its magnetic condition, its spots, etc., all of which, more or less, affect the terrestrial atmosphere. (2.) Other possible influences from without, as the passage of the earth through meteoric streams like those, for instance, of August and November. (3.) Terres- trial magnetism, the aurora borealis, the influence of mountain ranges, ocean currents, etc., etc. In view of all these facts it seems obvious that meteorology as a science can have no rapid advance­ ment. We must wait, and work and hope, and indulge the Yennors, the Tices, the Hazens, and even the Wig- ginses. Like the organist out West they are doing the best they can.--In- dianapolis Journal.
