And gentle Arrs. 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

--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 .*•->

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.

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.

THE FADED JACKET Of GEAY.

“Jefferson Davis and Lis ‘
live in the memories of a hundred hard—
won fields, in the hearts of proud and

powered people, in the heroism of tbe
dead who sleep in thousands of most !
honorable graves from the plains of 1
Manassas to tlio prairies of Texas, and
in tho glory of a grand principle im
mortal as tho white-winged seraphs
which circle tho great white throne!
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

HAMLET,
Hamlet, of whom we hear of sc*
I much was a sonyjf Hamlet King of
: Denmark. yimkespour, who’ knew*

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.
There was a big fair, at which theje
