Bayner laid doc©. the coat that. Was perpetually begem ing elbowless, and looked across hunplit tablo with anxious eyes. “Yes, mamma, I know,” a wearily. Viva, a slender* -pretty girl, wpo* dark-Vrcfwn hair gathered loosely hind shell pink ears, and lips reel yaA the cactus flower, met her mothc i gaze with eyes bright with vvietfJfM thoughtfulness. f “And we must move, of courst.'J cried a shrill youug voice from, t v fjj sofa, where sat Jessie, a volatile, eve •>! grown “because the f.^''l gate's off its' hinges, and the leaks, and-—” X* _ “Yes, Jessie, we all know sons for moving, but give mamyia av. j opportunity to suggest whire,” “There’s hardly much choice abort J that,” the pale-faced little woman, j said sadly.” i‘Some plaee where i'rft j rent would bo moderate; but j sudden look of longing shining out-*"’ j the pain worn face—“l would giro ajf the world, dear, to see tlie country again. I feel stilling here.” A -gleam of. quick ' determination came into Viva’s velvety-brown eyes. “And so you shall, mamma!” said, emphatically. “My darling, how?” in mild su. prise. “Well”—Viva puckered up he low, white brow, and tried to look wise and business like—“you see we could get a cottage in some of tiu* ’suburban villages at half what a city bouse would cost.. Besides every thing k so much cheaper in' the Irypund v.;e-could return •to the city tho coming winter. There!” “But your pupils, Viva?” “I could manage {.o give all the les sons in*' three 'days of the week—tuk ing the train in, you know, is dmo.F as do work for Crumby tho intervening days. .Atow, mr-m --mrd" triampbanily.. ’ \ . “It looks plausflblo rnt first sighT my pot, but I'm "almost 'afraid to hope. .Dear, dear! how that boy does wear out his clothes.” Viva came, over and- clasped tv,a. jaai'con merino afms around the iu ~ valid figure before her. “Hope as much as you like, main ma darling,” she cried, gayly; “for we'll watch tho papers till we see a iroasuro advertised ‘cheap’—in italics, you know—and then—” The rest waif too glorious to .*•-> se.'iUe. t jSEk '~€lAi ijrco %fm, Vi’rf.i out of a blinding April shown, with rose-red cheeks an starry eyes “Here it is, mamma,” she cried, on igmaticallv, with a hearty kiss and hug that almost demolished the small figure in the arm chair. 4 Now jis ten!” Among from the open papers of that morning, she read aloud: To RENT—TN SUBURB AM VILLAGE, Twcr.t* miuut(; riilc from the.-ciiv, an eight-room cot tage with “anion aihicbed. Ghnap, to good tenant. Apply to Clifford Chanties, Room 32, 14 £—St- City. “I am sure this will suit—‘cheep;’ in italics, as. I said mamma. Yon will have our happy country tied sum mer, after all,” with an exultant little laugh. “Now, for a while good bye! “Where are you going, dear?” “To see about this, mamma. Les sons are over—” “Yes, but I do not quite - like your going alone, Viva.” “Wbat! AiLold maid music teach er like me? I almost' acquire the dignity of age.in this voluminous \va - terproof and green veil Green- Just think of it: I might as well have red hair and spectacles. My nervous old darling, I'll ' bo back be fore you know I’m gone.” And with this decidedly sweeping, but scarcely possible assertion, sBo was out again under the rifting, (L ift ing ApriLsky, and going cityward ns fast as the street cars could’take her. In the thicket, busiest portion of city, up two flights of dingy stairs went Viva: A.timid knock at room 12. “Come in!” She turned tho handle, arid with green veil well down, went in. Two or three gentlemen, writing at baize covered desks, looked tip carelessly as she entered, and \y*jpt on with their work. A goutleman . enveloped in,: clows of cigar smoko, with feet considerably eiovafcfd above tho level tiT his head, glarieod' toward'fho door,'as the grace ful figure in threadbare waterproof eat no timidly iu. Down came the feet, out wont the cigar, and ClifiNu Chandos, pushing a cigar forward, bowed gravely, questioningly, to the ■daily before him. • - • “I—l called to inquire about a cot tago advertised.” “Tho cottage! Oh, yes, to be sure! Will you please to bo seated, and I will give yog the particulars.” And Viva, taking tho proffered seat, li toned while tho tall, grave man, with straight, black brows and keen, kindly eyes, explained tho terms with pleasant courtesy. And when she lifted the obnoxious green veil a moment, to conclude some necessary arrangement, Clifford Chandos started ever so slightly as he saw the prott}', girlish face before !mn, as serene, and dignified in its grave, business-like composure ns though its owner were eight and fifty instead of eight-and-ten. “When will you look at tho place Miss—” ‘•Raynor!” supplemented Viva. “Miss Rnyrier. Hindi wo say to morrow ut one?” “At two, if as convenient,” “Certainly. Two, if preferable.” Then ho held tho door open no courteously as though she wore seal skin and diamonds, while with a quiet grace she bowed slightly and passed • from tlio loom. ( And Clifford Ohandos went slowly back to his chair, a softer light iu bis keen gray eyes, and actually for onot'Y hi 3 life forgot to relight his cigar. gfc*. *;■" '* ***** The day camo nt last when, from the stuff • city house, tho Rayners moved, to he pretty, roomy, .raftered cottage, v u'e honeysuckle and wild roses slra r ;led at their own sweet v'”( r roof and po. h. 'p'f&u Vva, coming home from the dfUsl’t: ly "three evenings in tho week, | pale' and tired, brightened and sߧj>ghed her own low, happy laugh at Ntfe sight of h.er mother’s face—grown filing again—at the window, at the SpHVa of Dick and Jessie's boisterous |^lni‘iter. : . f 4 curious ail- the repairing jPpat cottage needed after they moved S. f! was more curious that tueir f quiet, ’handsome landlord should in- Fffist on supervising it all himself. * He grew into their simple lives in .those days. Mrs. Rayner came to think the cheery voice better than any medicine, the children to shout lusti ly at sight of hiui, and Viva to listen for the sound of hie firm footstep on the garden path. One evening, when tho soft May wind was swaying the “lady fingers,” as the children call them, over the' door, Viva snatched up her hat and sttolled down to tho pretty rustic gate. . • • Just a little more tired than usual after a desperate struggle to teach an irritably obtuse pupil the mysteries of oolchetsand quavers and demi se miqua vers. She stood there, a fair, girlish fig ure in her soft white dress, a great bunch of blue meadow-violets at lier slender throat and waist. The scent ed wind gently, loosened tho dark brown hair and blew a fitful drift of rose bloom into tho pure, pale face. Very pretty? . Well, Clifford.Chandos though t so,. at ail eventr, as ho cams alobg the uneven country road with Lis' light, ilrm footfall. • * “Good evening, Miss Rayner!” She turned suddenly, the • faint flush deepening to carnation,' “Good evening, Mr. Chandos!” I think a person can give one a very tolerable shako hands without holding one’s lingers quite a minute. But-apparently Mr. Chandos thought differently. Ilayner, will yon como for a walk—just a little way down the i'oad? There is a show place there I .should j't\e to have you sec.” IT ■ caked pleadingly, hpiriedly, as nL.oitgfc: '* uor & rcfuhal. “Is it fail” “No,” eagerly; “quite near. Be sides, Miss Viva, I have something to tell you—or, rather, ask you.” They were already strolling slowly on. She paused and looked up in vague alarm. “To ask me, Mr. Chan dost” ‘ Yes. Yiva, I want to ask you to leave Bose cottage. Was he mad? “To leave IToso cottage!” sho re peated, blankly. She stopped short, and looked up at him with brown bewildered eyes. “Are you not satisfied with us as tenants? What will mamma say?” “I did not ask . your mother to leave Hose cottage’’—and his voice trembling and low—“I asked you!” “Me? Why, Mr. Chandos—” She broke off abruptly as she saw the look in tho eyes of the man re garding her. Such a look as would make more successful wooers in the world to-day—a look of passionate love and resolute determination to have her in spite t>f herself. “Yiva, my darling—my darling!” he cried, all the mischief in his voice swept away in his fiery earnestness, “won’t you understand? I love you very dearly, Yiva, and i want you for my wife! ’ “Yes—l understand,” she said, simply. “I anrnot a rich man, dear, but I would give my life to make you hap py!” She looked up at him with bright, out Tuning eyes, and though her cheeks flamed hotly, she said, in her .gentle, straightforward, girlish way: “I would be honored to be your wife were you penniless, Mr. Chau dcsY “Mr. Chandos!” sternly. “Little wife, sny ‘Clifford!” And, her hand in his, sho said it, simply: “Chffoigl!” - „ Ip. a"r,hoi t timfc they paused before a massive entrance gate and pretty gothic lodge? “This is tho great place ox the neighborhood, Yiva. Shall wo go up and look at TC” They paused at tho great stone steps of an ideal country-scat, stretch ing, veraudahed, povticoed, with huge stone lions on guard at the dOor. “Come in, deni !” holding out his hand, with a curious smile. “But the owner?” “I go with his permission.” Then, passing the seivant at the door he led her through rooms where tho mighty touch of Midas was soft ened and made perfect by the mighti er touch of taste. Through a con servatory where birds nml flowers were drowsily falling asleep, and mar ble statues gleamed palely forth from tropical, dusky nooks. “It’s a handsome place, dear, isn’t it?” ho asked, whon onco again they stood ’neath tho darkening sky. “Handsome? Oh, Clifford!” with an ecstatic, long and) awn breath. “I hardly know how much rent I ought to charge you, littlo woman,” ho cried, quizzically, drawing her closer to him: “but i’ll bo moderate. Suppose wo say—quo thousand kisses par annum!” “Yourel she gasped. “You -takl you wore not rich,” “Well, not Rothschild nor Vander bilt, love, but,” with a sudden change of tone, “richer thin all the world, sweetheart, in you.” So, after- all, Viva craoes a homo v/orthy of her. And Jessie senten tiously remarks: “’Twas well wo moved,” And Viva nods and smiles as she slips her little sparkling hand into her husband’s. THE GOAT. The goat is a native of the vacant lots about the city, and there are lots of them. The goat is omnivorous. He will goal anything that ho sacs, and, ho will, seize anything that ho may goat. His principal food’ however, is'pfoy r bills. He is very f ind of letters. Let ustTObot him fbr'ffra love of bill letters. The gentleman goat is called Billy, but he is a~.Billy that no policeman can handlo. The lady goat is called a kid. Kids are on hand the year around. The goat is generous to a fault. He presents a couple of horns to every body he sees. In the matter of mean cash, the Cashmere goat is tho most famous. Goats ai‘e fond .of the outskirts of large cities ; also hoop-skirts. The goat wears a beard. It is call ed a goatee, though not confined to a goat. The goat is noted for his bunting but it never flags, Goat is one of tlie signs of the zodiac, signifying that he has a pro pensity to knock things sky-high. Shakespeare understood tho spon taniety of the goat when he said: “Stand not upon the order of your going*, but goat at once.“ The goat is a wide awake animal. He is never caught napping, notwith standing the many cases oi' kid nap ing you may read about. .For many years the goat was the only butter known. Goats love to get on a liigb rock and sun themselves. Give them a chance and they will always seek a sunny climb. The god Pan was a sort of half goat. All goats do not pan out as well as be did. BED AS A*ROSE IS SHE. Several gentlemen were standing on the corner of Galveston avenue when one of the most fashionable la dies of Galveston passed on tho side walk. “Ahexclaimed one of the genlle theu, “what a complexion 1 There'id nothing to beat it in Galveston. 1 am proud of that woman. I am. “Are you her husband ?” asked a stranger. “No, sir,” “Her father, then.” “No sir ; I am no relation of hers, but lam proud of her complexion. I am the druggist that sold it to her I make it myself ” -* Good temper is like a sunny day : it sheds a brightness over everything; it is the sweetener of toil and the soother of disquietude. 4.2>* When a man cnlletli thee a fool nev er smite eim.—especially if ho weighs more than you do. —* ®- “A rolling stone gathers no moss,’ and you’ll never seo ono roll unless someone rolls it. Richos bringeth sorrow, but most men are bravo enough to stand that kind of grief. A writer may be said to bo more free than a king, inasmuch as ho can choose his own subjects.

The NewJYork Commercial Adyor tiser, a republican sheet, says that “Jefferson Davis and bis cause are as dead as Julius Caesar, and the south ern people are showing so unmistaka bly that they know this, that the bourbon senators arc quakin" in their boots.” Tho malicious lie i s altogether j worthy of the malignant pen which I wrote it and the base mind which ' conceived it.

The neigh of the • iron horqe and the song of the spindle mingle mer rily and the new south, sweeps, as upon eaglo wings,- to a great, a glori ous future: while the old south in her weeds, and with bowed h:ad bends f lovingly over the sacred ruins of a j bravo but bitter past. But the south, is still the south, and the grief of the old shall never be forgotten in the grandeur of the new, lor between the two there hangs a sweet memorial which binds our hearts to the past, even while our hands are building the i future. Tho faded jacket of gray!— | tho violet’s breath is not sweeter than ! the memories by which it is hallowed, , nor tho shimmering stars more beau- j tiful than the glory amid wliioh it j was folded! A tiling inanimate, it j-et 1 speaks with eloquent tongue. Every* scene images some deed of patriotic daring. Its soiled front tells of the dust of battle and its ragged edges speak of scarred veterans. Its very silcnco is pathetic with tho story of the honored dead, and its every fea taro thrills tbe heart to tears for the cause which was lost. The faded jacket oT’gray is not confined to any one household id this one sunny land It haugs alike in the hut on tiie hill side and tho mansion in the city. In mnny alas! how many instances is it hung upon the vacant chair, never more ta grace the form which long ago filled a southern soldier’s grave In this land of the south the faded jacket of gray is a common heritage with ;a common woo. Wherever the orphan’s cry is hoard, and the wid ow’s prayer is breathed, there yon will find it. Wherever tho family circle has been rent asunder by the red right-hand of war, we turn our eyes to this and behold through our tears, this faded jacket of gray. It tells a. solemn but grand story, this faded jacket of gray. It tells of thousands of bright swords which sprang from their scabbards at the call of duty. It tells of tho fiery charge—the stubborn fight—thebleed ing hero—tho dead patriot—tne*cau uon’s sullen roar and tho field with corpses strewn. It tells of those Godlike men who sacrificed life, lib erty, property, for what they conceiv ed to bo right. Look at it, and the majestic form of Jackson rises to view. Look at it, and tho calm, no ble face of Lee peers kindly upon you from amongst the buttons aud the braid. Mother, look at it and the pale face of your dear son comes back from a soldier’s grave. Son, gaze up it,.and tho honored form of your dear father soems to rise from tho fresh earth Wife, look upon it and the fond husband who exchanged it for a shroud is onco more boforG yon. Sister, look at it, and onco agaiu you seem to see the gentle face of your loved and long-lost brother. Bo thoy living or dead, we honor the men w ho wore the faded jacket of gray. Pal sied be the hand that would strike ono star from the crown, of their fame, which will brighten till tho, end of time. “Nor bravorblfd for a brighter lm il, Nor brightrr land bad a causa so grand, Nor cause a chief like Lee.” Smith Cuavton. CUBED HER AT LAST. An old man up in Connecticut bad a poor cranky bit of a wife, who regu larly once a week got up in tho night ami invited tho family to seo her die Sho gave away her things, spoke her last words, and made peace with Heaven, and ilieu about eight o’clock she got up in her usual way and dis appointed everybody, be going at her household duties ns if nothing had happened. The old man got sick of it finally, and bought a coffin, a real nice cash mere shroud, a wreath of immortals, with “Farewell Mary Anu," worked in, and a haudful of silver plated screws. Laying tho screw driver beside tho collection, bo invited her to holler “die,” onco more. “Do it," said he “and in you go, and this farewell business is over.” Mary Ann is at this moment cook ing buckwheat cakes for a large and admiring family, while thoy dry apples iu the coffin up in the garret A stranger in St. Louis, thinking lie recognized his coat on tho back of a pedestrian, Bhouted, “Step thief!” and about thirty of tho inhabitants suddenly disappeared down a sido street —.....- -A The giraffe lias never beeu known to utter a sound.

He bad beeu to sidorablo expense for a moprning suit, and before be could wear it umcqi ; hero was the old woman getting main! | ried again. He went arqund talking, about it, mostly to himself, howeverV He complained that tho king wpsj hardly cold, before she had, husband—the king’s* brother— map, too, that “old ham*” aa the boyn called him, could have discounter^ Number 6. ; when he was on earth. He said, “erp those shoes were old (we suppose sho, hadn't ever worn the bronze off her gamers) in '.vhfch sho followed the, old mwp 4,0 his grave, she. was hitch ed-to me Hah L h (Tjfi -so Woifi/iTamlet’s preciso words.)* 1 H ioUel *4.“ eou.d ah was not right, ■bt >r ***&?* wm 11 J futi-cr 8 ghosi uiiuijga quietyf'drt in J 'ncoln BarL .r.re glmgt if-&er,'iewoiP' toh\' KaWi-01l about it. . ije was sleci}b'6 ; ", i hiv orchard after dinner, ope wlMrtS-iat iftother poured melted into bis ear, pretending it would i out tho hair and promote a healthy activity of the brafu.

Tbe ghost disappeared af ter tellipg Ifamlet that he wanted tg, be ‘/remembered”—something, by. kho, way, that isn’t always doneby those who play the ghost; we have known, them to forget sometimes. Hamle( set about preparing make a gliost of his uncle. His first act was tq, feign insanity, in order to get acquit ted if tried for murder, which showq. that he was as sharp as assassins an* in our day. Then he had ft varrety company, that was “stuck” in town, play some thing like the murder of the king, knowing that hia uncle and tho old’ woman would enjoy it hugely, as' they had a lmen sense of the ridicul'-* ous. The boisterous manner ip which they both applauded the kill*-' ing in tho garden, satisfied Hamlet the ghost story was all right, and af-" ter that he only awaited aa opportu nity to bereave himself at once of an uncle and a step-father. • ' The king was wary, howover. 110 suspected that llamlet was after his scalp and resolved to put him out Jt tho way first. He gave him a foreign mission, hoping be would stay there, but be como back to attend the funer al of Ophelia, an old sweetheart ai. his. As sho had gone crazy for love of. him and then drowned herself, at- 1 tending tho funeral seems tp have been us littlo as bo ttJ;—Yhetd were several episodes at tho grave. Hamlet recognized an old friend thero named Yorrick \vhom he had got peeu for more than twenty years. They belonged to tho same boat club, and ho know him by his skull. Then af • ter wrangling with tho grave digger, he got in a fight with Ophcfin'ff brother regarding which could rant the loudest, while the funeral was go ing on. This was disgraceful aliko to both parties. The king’s conscience reproachcJJ him continually for killing old Ham let and marrying his widow. Tho queen folt awfully about it, tco; but then they knew Hamlet felt * worso about it than both of them put to gether—thoy saw it was wearing on him, aud so, they resolved to put. him out of misery at onco by getting him killed. They arranged a fencing match between him and Dphalia’a brother, Laertes, aud had ono of tho’ foils poisoned. Laertes being in with the game. To make assurances dou bly sure, for they bad assurance enough for anything, they poisoned the beer with which they proposed ter treat Hamlet. Hamlet's coming io the tournament which was for tho championship of Ohio) was the weakest act of his life: The affair ends in a terrible tragedy. Tho queen gets excited makes a mis-= take and drinks tho poisoned beer herself, then Laertes stabs Hamlet with tho poisoned rapier, they clinch, fall against tbe ropes and ebaugp rapiers, when Hamlet lets an inch oil two of envenomed steel into Laertesj’ then tho queen swoons and dies from tho effects of injudiciously beer into her poison; Laertes gives up tho ghost, saying: “The king put up tbe job!” then Hamlet, stabbing tlid king with tho poisoned mug of beer? swallows tho rapiers, and dies along' side of tho king; and for sheer lack of auvbody to carry on his play it comes to an end, leaving tho stage roßcmbliug a morgue with more bus iness on its hands thin it can do cently attend to.
