Two sisters, with their arms entwined, there
stand
Before a fortune-teller, bowed witli age
-Who slowly turns with feeble, faltering hand
The cards prophetic, like a mystic page.
'One dark, one fair. and both fresh as the morn;
One like the flower which blooms in autumn
late,
The other like the spring’s pale, and first born
Together there they wait to learn their fate.'
“In life, alas! 1 see no joy for thee,”
The gipsy said to her, the dark-eyed maid;

“Yes." “That alone is happiness,” she said.

The*g&sy said to her with snow-white brow-

HOW THEY FIRST MET.
“A letter for ine, eh? Well, give it to
me, Jack, and then close the door, and
replenish the lire; this November weather
is rather chilly.”
And Mr. Robert Burton settled himself
In his office chair, lit a cigar, elevated his
feet, and proceeded to read his letter,
which ran thus:
“My Dear Brother:
“Of course you are coming home for
Thanksgiving. We are all expecting you,
and if you should take it into your head
to disappoint us, we Bhould never forgive
you; so be a good boy and drop us a card,
telling us when to expect you. Sue Lang-
don and Nellie Cole will be here—and Bob,
i 'ust think of it. Ivy Blondette has premi
sed to come. She Is the charming little
widow I spoke of in my last letter—aw
fully rich, and as sweet as a June rose. She
is just the girl for you, Bob, and I have
set my heart on calling her sister, but 1
can trust her to captivate you, if you will
only bring yourself within range of her
wonderful eyes. Please write-immediately,
aud say you will come
“Your loving sister, Jennie.”
“Oh, pshaw!” ejaculated Bob. as he im
patiently tossed the letter aside. “When
will that precious sister of mine learn that
there is no use in exercising her match
making proclivities for my benefit? A
widow, indeed! No, thank you, Miss Jen
nie, not any ‘relicts’ for me.”
And the next evening poor Jennie Bur
ton sat in her room and cried over the fol
lowing curt little note from her idolized
but perverse and willful brother:
“Dear Jen:
“Glad to hear you are going to have the
charming widow’ to help you demolish
the Thanksgiving turkey but regret to say
that my turkey is already spoken for in
another direction. I have received an ur
gent letter from Aunt Martha asking me to
come to her house for Thanksgiving, and
I have written her to expect me—because,
you see, Jen, there will not be any widows
running around in her house to bother a
fellow. Yours gratefully, Bob.”
It was 11 p. m., on the night before
moment at a little station ana a solitary
passenger alighted and started off through
the trees at a brisk pace.
It was our friend Bob, and at the end of
fifteen minutes he emerged from the
shadow of the trees and walked lightly
across the smooth lawn that lay in front
of Auut Martha’s quaint, old-fashioned
country home. It was a long, low, one-
story farm house, covering a liberal allow
ance of ground, and with a wide veranda
running around two sides of it. Bob
paused as he approached the house, and
scanned the windows for some sign of
light, but there was none. Had the sky
been clear the moon would have been
shining brightly, but a mass of clouds hid
her smiling face, aud a damp, gray mist
seemed settling down over the house and
lawn.
“Of course Aunt Martha is not expect
ing me to-night, soliloquized Bob. ‘‘She
has been in bed and sound asleep for the
hay loft. But let me see; the second win
dow from the corner is tue one that opens
out of my old room. I ought to know
that, for I’ve climbed iu and out of it a
thousand times. Now if it isn’t fastened
too securely I’ll climb in once more, take
possession of the high-posted old bed, and
astonish auntie by walking into the break
fast room in the morning.”
Suiting the action to the word, he step
ped lightly upon the veranda, and ap
proached the designated window. The
shutters were not closed, and a broken
pain of glass rendered it easy for him to
undo the time worn fastenings.
“How careless Aunt Martha is; it is a
wonder that she has not been robbed long
ago,” was his mental comment, as he gen
tly raised the window and stepped over
the still.
The window was small and heavily cur
tained, and so little light penetrated
through it that a full minute elapsed be
fore his eyes were sufficeintly accustomed
to the darkness to enable him to distin
guish the familiar outlines of the old-fash
ioned bedstead and the huge bureau that
had stood close to the foot of the bed ever
since he could remember. To this latter
article of furniture he first groped his way,
and began searching for the match box
that was always kept there.
“No matches, but the whole bureau
strewn with hair pins! What can it mean.
I never knew auntie to keep her hairpins
in this room!” , ,
Then, as he could find no matches, he
Went round to the head of the bed aud
put out his hand to turn down the coverR,
but surely, it was neither quilts nor pil
lows upon which his hand rested. No, it
was a King, thick, soft braid of hair, and
as poor Bob realized this fact it seemed to
him that his heart had suddenly taken up
its abode in his throat, while cold chilis
and hot flushes seemed chasing each other
up aud down his spinal column. A wo
man’s hair on his pillow! Now Bob was
naturally quick at forming conclusions,and
It took him scarcely three seconds to de
cide that there was doubtless a feminine
head at one end of that long, soft braid;
and, as he was not in France, and the
“Reign of Terror” was a thing of the past,
why, naturally, concluded that the beau |
and the hair were not there alone.
It was this startling conclusion that
caused him to take a quick step backward,
With the intention of evacuating the
premises as hastily and softly as possible,
but, unfortunately for this wise resolve, his
feet suddenly became entangled in some
voluminous garments that were thrown
across a chair in front of the bed, and in
his clumBy efforts to extricate his pedal
extremities from the mysterious net into
Which they had strayed, he somehow lost
his balance, and went over backward,
coming down with the unfortunate ehiur
upon the carpet with crash that bespoke
ruin for the chair, and filled the breast ot
our midnight intruder with the most un
pleasant sensations imaginable.
“Surely,” he thought, as he lay for a
moment listening, with breath suspended,
“unless she be one of the ‘Seven Sleepers
she must have heard that.” .
Evidently she had heard it; for at tnat
moment a little white robed figure sprang
lightly from tb
room, and disap
window, just as
a perpendicular attitude. With but an
instant’s hesitation he sprang after her,
determined to overtake her, and try to
explain matters, before she succeeded in
arousing the neighborhood.
He overtook her much sooner than be
expected. Right at the foot of the veranda
steps lay a little white figure, moaning as
though in pain. Rob bent down and asked

ms softest and gentlest tones, “I know
you can never forgive me for frightening
you so, hilt indeed it is all the result of a
, very awkward blunder on my part, which
i l hope you will allow me to explain. First,
I ilre doubtless a guest of my aunt’s,
i tell me, please, have you not heard her say
j that she is expecting a visit from her
| nephew, Robert Burton?”
I A startled glance from the dark eyes, a
I wave of crimson across the white face and
| a slight inclination of the head were all
the reply he received.
“Well, 1 am Robert Burton. I came on
the night train, but my aunt, not cxpect-
'“g me till morning, had retired, and,
disliking to awaken her, I thought I
would take possession of my old room,
and give my auntie a surprise in the morn
ing. Why, my • poor little girl, you are
hurt; your forehead is bleeding. Oh, dear,
I feel like I hud acted the viilaiu, nnd I
know you can never forgive me! You are
hurt and half frozen, and I think the only
thing for me to do now is to call my aunt
and make a full confession.”
But even as he spoke, his companion
sprang up aud exclaimed, vehemently:
“Oh, no, no, Mr. Burton! If you want me
ever to forgive you for this night’s work,
give me your word right here that no liv
ing soul shall ever know what has occur
red.”
She stood on the step beside him as she
spoke, her long, flowing night-dress trail
ing behind her, and one little white bare
foot peeping out from beneath the snowy
ruffles, and the thought flashed across
Rob’s mind that, after all, heaven was not
the only abode of angels.
But he gave the required promise with
alacrity, and the next moment his angel
had vanished, he heard his room window
let down with a bang and found himself
standing alone upon the veranda steps,
with the damp fog of the morning hours
settling around him. Slowly like one in a
dream, he mode his way round to the back
of the house, aroused the cook, and in
duced her to smuggle him to an unoccu
pied room, where he lay awake till dawn,
thinking and dreaming of the lovely little
lady that had so suddenly and unexpect
edly crossed his path.
"Soft, black eyes, and hair like burn
ished gold,” he murmured, and then, Just
as the first faint light of dawn came steal
ing in through the window, lie fell asleep,
and dreamed that his sister Jennie, with a
E riest’s robe on, and a prayer book in her
and, was marrying him to a short, fat,
dumpy little widow, with cheeks as red as
a peony’s and a little wisp of sandy hair,
twisted tightly at the back of her head,
who, ere the ceremony was half com
pleted, threw her arms aronnd him and
began kissing him with so much ardor
that he gasped for breath and flung her
from him. Whereupon he suddenly
awoke, and found that he had flung the
covers nearly off the bed, that he was
sitting bolt upright, and that the kisses
had doubtless come from Aunt Martha,
who

bille.
Half an hour later he entered the
breakfast room, and Aunt Martha, after
giving him a warm welcome, said.
“Oh, Rob, I’ve got the sweetest little
woman here visiting me that you ever
saw; sh—here she comes now.”
The door swung open, and his golden
haired dusky-eyed angel swept gracefully
in, and, like one in a dream, he heard his
aunt say:
“Mrs. Bloudette, allow me to present to
you my nephew, Mr. Burton.”
**»**♦
A budding spring, a long, warm summer
and a golden autumn have glided by.
Once again Thanksgiving day is at hand,
and this time there is a merry wedding
party assembled in Aunt Martha’s cozy,
old-tashioned parlor. Ail the Burtons aud
all the Blondettes have gathered together
from far and near to see Rob and Ivy
married; but the face that is brightest and
fullest of fun is Jennie's, ;as she comes in,
and going up to Rob, whispers:
“The widow is ready, my boy, and
awaits the bridegroom’s coming.”
And then she led him to the room,
where he found Ivy standing before the
glass, and Aunt Martha arranging the
Folds of the long, billowy veil that fell
around her.
“Now, isn’t she lovely, Rob, and isn’t
her dress perfection?” queries Aunt
Martha. ,
“Yes, she is very lovely, and her dress is
very beautiful,” assented Rob, as he drew
her to him. and kissed the sweet red lips.
“But, auntie,” he added, a moment later,
“I saw her once when she looked even
lovelier than she does to-day.”
“Oh, you wretch! When was that?” ex
claimed the impulsive Jennie.
“It was the first time that I ever saw
ht “Oh, Rob!” murmured Ivy, imploringly,
while a soft, crimson flush mounted to hor
cheeks aud brow, and the sweet, sparkling
and dusky eyes sank beneath his ardent
Stt “The first time you ever saw her?”
chimed in Aunt Martha. “Why, let me
aee; you had on a plain blue merino morn
ing dress that time, didn’t you, Ivy? Well,
upon my soul, if that isn’t a fine specimen
of your taste in dress.”
And Ivy stole a little shy glance at her
lover, and then they both laughed, but to
this day they have never told any one how
they first met.
t Ml tie While.
If I iwalfl see thee once again
A little while, once mure,
Thy tender heart I might regain
And my mat peace restore;
You would forget the scorn you felt—
So penitent l\l be;
You would forgive while low I knelt.
If I might on!) see
Thy bright eyes smile on me:
Only a little while,
Only once more.
If I should see thee once again
And find thee stern and cold;
And ever dead -uh, hitter pain—
Thu bright, strong love ofoJd;
You, even while i felt your scorn,
All bitter though it be -
And my sad heart with grief were torn
I’d welcome misery.
If I thy fuue could see;
Only a little while,
Only once more.

Somebody is comparing the size and cost
of the Great Eastern and Noah’s ark. The
[ cost of building and launching tiie Great
i Eastern was $3,850,000, and this broke the
original company. A now company was
formed which spent $1100,000 in filling and
furnishing her. Then this company failed
and a new eouumny was organized with a
capital of <*300,000. At the close of 1880
this company sunk £88,715 upon the ves
sel, thus making £4,703,575. Nothing ever
built can stand comparison withlthe Great
Eastern excepting Noah’s ark, and oven
this vessel could not match her. The
length of the ark was 300 cubits, her
breadth 50 cubits, and her height 30 cubits.
The cubit of the Scriptures, according to
Bishop Wilkins, was ‘21 05-100 inches, and
computed into English measurement the
ark was 517 lent long, 01 feet beam, 54 7-10
feet denth and 21,702 tons. The Groat
Eastern is 080 feet long, S3 feet beam, 68
depth and 28,003 tons measurement. So
Noah’s ark is quite overshadowed by the
Great Eastern.
Advice to Mothers.—-Mrs. Winslow’s
Soothing Syrup should always be used
when children are cutting teeth. It re
lievos the little sufferer at once; it produces
natural, quiet sleep by relieving the child
from pain, and the little cherub awakes as
“bright as a button.” It is very pleasant
to taste. It soothes the child, softens the
gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regu
lates the bowels and is the best known
remedy for diarrhoia, whether arising
from teething or other causos. Twenty-
