MRS or TIB WEDDING «OWR.
A wonun Is bosy mid seven,
And wearily wean a frown,
fo, her tired brain plans the devices
That are wrought in a wedding gown.
Ohe heeds not the hum of their voices,
Her thoughts upon work ate bent,
Fora warns i whose mission is labor
Mast with lab >r b ■ ever content;
And to sew, hern and loon and to stitch
Are the hard needs that keep her down
To the sosot. sorry pittance earned
For her toil on a wedding gown.
Her delicate form bends low
O’er a fabric rich and white,
For a queenly woman pledged
To a man whose wealth is might;
And both with a predict! cost
Would astound the gaping town,
And spare na ight, even woman's toll
On this dainty wedding gown.
Ho ply fast the nimble needle.
Falter not, poor soul, for rest;
In another world are better gowns.
Nay, and crowns for the opprest.
But hers you may no* aquauder
The houre that are not your own,
And 1 t eye nor finger drop
A stain on the weddiog gown.
For a tear from a sewer’s lid
Is an Oman that It will trace
ft’s later path in the days to oome
On across the wearer's face.
Vet why not, asthrongh reads a streamlet
Steals sebblng and winding down,
May your tears In quiet wander
Through lashes beside your own!
Hem on with yonr heart-strings still,'
Smile, ennob ed by patient trust—
■Are women but feathers and satins
Ends Ufa at a hillock of dust?
Dear sonl, need and pain are the hands
For the whitest to him who looks downl
l On her who shall be at his ooming
In a beautiful wedding gown.
— N. O. rimee-Demscrat.
ADA ADAIR.
One glorious morning in midsummer
two ladies were sitting in rustle lounging
ehalre upon the wide veranda of the Hen-
lock Inn.
The younger, a fair maid with dark blue
eyes and a wealth of golden hair, gazed
dreamily oat upon the charming view,
little lake amid the pine-clad Adirondack
hills, calm and still in a glare of August
snnahine.
The elder lady held an open newspaper
an her hand, and had jost read in it this
notice, mystioal to the uninitiated:
OoMirr Theatre Call, Season 1888-8.
The ladles and gentlemen of the compa
ny will assemble in the green-room, Mon
day, August 80, at 10 :a. m., for first re
hearsal. Season opens September A
Mr. George Garrick, Manager.
She realized sadly' that the time had
--come when they must bid farewell to this
quaint mountain village, and go back to
the toil and striving of the city. After
the blissful dalliance of a holiday it is not
pleasant to think ot returning to the bur
den and worry of commonplace labor. But
thie was but a passing regret; there was a
more serious cause for disquietude at this
wudden summons.
"Mother,” suddenly said the girl, "I
will tell Arthur to-day the true story of
.my life. I have done wrong in not telling
Ihlm long ago.”
Her mother’s face brightened. "It will
be best to do so,” she replied. "I am con
fident that it will make no difference in
his feeling toward you, while should some
accident disclose tbut you are 'on the
stage,’ the discovery that you have de
ceived him may make a serious breach be
tween you.”
"Then, dear, I will tell him as soon as
he comes. I expect him to call every mo
ment.”
“Indeed,you cannot deferit any longer,”
rejoined her mother; "rehearsal on the
10th, only a week ahead.”
At this instant a cheery voice exclaimed,
-‘Good morning, ladies!’’ and Arthur Mar
vin stepped upon the balcony. The blush
that came into the young girl’s cheeks
told clearly that the Bov. Arthur Marvin
was the "be” of the preceding conversa
tion.
He had come to Hcmlockvillve two
years before in an endeavor to repair by
a long reBt the ravages close and assiduous
-application to hiB studies had wrought in
his constitution. Being successful in his
-quest for health, aud finding, too, that the
word he taught fell upon willing ears, he
had permanently settled in the village as
rector of the Episcopal churoh.
Until the advent ot this maid into bis
life he had beeu indifferent to the city and
country belles alike, but from the moment
he first beheld her he felt that there was a
woman he could love.
Throughout the happy months of her
▼aoation, as they drove along the shady
roads, rowed over the lake or strolled on
the picturesque paths that bordered it,
they told agaia the old, old story that is
forever new, the romance of lhe liking of
young hearts.
Mrs. Vaughan was the widow of an act
or, and Penelope, her daughter, was an
actress at the Comet Theater, "the home
of burlesque,” where she was known as
Miss Ada Adair. None of the boarders in
the Hemlock Inn were aware of this; nor
did Arthur know it. As we have seen
Penelope had determined to tell him at
the first opportunity.
Arthur had only time to say a few words
about the concert that was to take place
that evening, und then he was obliged to
leave them- Penelope was forced to await
another occasion to disclose her secret.
The guests of the Hemlock Inn had
hired the village hall that night, and had
announced a “grand vocal and instrument
al concert” for the benefit ol Mr. Marvin’s
churoh. Penelope, who never sang in the
hotel parlors, as other ladies did, had sur
prised the managers by ofleritig to sing a
salo.
When her turn came to appear before
the crowded audience she walked quietly
out upon the smalt stage and sang the
souliul words of "London Bridge.” She
felt in strange accord with its weird re
frain.
Storm and sunshine, peace and strife,
Over the bridge they xo;
Flouting on the tide of life,
Whither no man shall know.
Wh . will miss them there to-n orrow?
Waifs that drift to the shade or sun!
Gone away, with their songs and sorrow!
Only the river still (lows on,
Hurry alotig, sorrow and song,
All is vanity'neatli (he sod.
Velvet and rags, so the world wags,
Un-.il the river no more shall run.
Her song aroused the audience to the
highest pitch of enthusiasm; they were
enraptured hy the charm and passion oi
her rich, full voice. A storm of applaus.
burst forth when she bad finished, and
Ada Adair ban singing under a strange
uarnel”
So musing, be lit a cigar, strode the hall,
and set foitn on a ramble through the vil
lose.
This soon grew tiresome. He yawned
and stood fora moment undecided whelh
er to go on or not. A sign opposite ut
traded his attention—“The Adirondack
Eagle ” He crossed the road and looked
through the window. The interior was lii
up and some one was visible writing at n
desk.
"1 wonder wbat keeps my colleague o!
the pen up o’ nights,” thought the youmj
stranger, as he entered the office, aud
walked leisurely up to its occupant.
“How are yon?” said he; "I am Will
Dover, of the New York Arbiter. TuougUt
I’d call to see how your noble bird is flour
ishing.
The person writing was a sandy-haired,
freckled faced country boy He looked
upon Dover’s arrival as ptevidential.
“I’m glad to see you!” said lie, heartily.
I’m Mr. Jones, an’ I'm left here to get
oat the paper all alone. The editor is
down with the rheumatics, and the comp,
has started off on a tramp. The page is
short ’bout three sticks. Bay, mister, will
you write something to put in there? I’ve
bin trvin’ for three hours, an’ I can’t but
I kin set it up.”
Dover consented so pleasantly that the
ink stained face of his petitioner beamed
with smiles. He quickly wrote a report of
some concert, bestowing lavish praise
upon all that took part in It. Of
Penelope Vaughan ho wrote: "Those
who have only heard her singing inane,
topical songs, or other ‘burlesque^ditties\
on not realize the depth of feeling she
displayed in the simple Englsh soug. For
her own sake, we advise her to give up
link tights, and devote her talents to a
tig her grade of performances.”
"B'guin, I’m obliged to yer,” Bald the
faithful neophyte as Will, finished. "I’ll
get the form on the press to-night, an' I
kick off the hull edition hy breakfast
time.”
Will. Dover walked slowly back to the
hotel, elated by the consciousness that he
nad none a good deed.
Many of the concert organizers were as
sembled upon the porch of the Hemlock
Inn on the following morning, when Pill
Jones appeared, yelling in finished news
boy style: “Here’s yer Eaglet Full ac
count of tbe grand concert”’ Never did
journalistic enterprise meet with a quicker
return. Bill’s stock was soon sold out, and
he hurried back to the office for a new
supply.
The reading of the report created a sen
sation. "Penelope Vaughan, a burlesqi
artist! Scandaloun!” exclaimed the lartb
A chorus of "I told you so” arose. The
guests gathered in a large circle and all
talked at once.
Penelope, the unconscious cause of all
this perturbation, was sitting within a lit
tle boat house upon the shore ot the lake.
At tTequent intervals she glanced along
tbe road, for although she would not have
confessed it, she waited for the Rev. Ar
thur Marvin.
Presently she saw him advancing rapid
ly toward the hotel. His appearance
alarmed hor; he walked fast, ana at times
shook a stout cane violently in the air
with fierce gesticulations. As he came
nearer she saw he was in a violent rage.
Beside him ran Bill Jones, the printer’s
boy.
Arthur stopped before the veranda.
“Is Mr. William Dover here?” he de
manded.
From where she sat within the boat
house Penelope could hear plainly all that
was said.
The ladies were eager to know what he
thought of the astounding information
that had burst upon them that morning,
so they ignored his question, and one of
them said sweetly: “We did not know we
were to be honored by professional assist
ance last eveniDg, Mr. Marvin.”
Arthur hit the ground savagely with his
cane. “I have seen the statement in the
village paper that Miss Vaughan is an ac
tress,” Baid he. “I brand it as a base cal- |
umny. I assure you it is untrue, a lying j
story. This boy tells me it is the lahri-
cation of a young man stopping here. Is |
he present?”
No one responded to his demand. Do- ,
ver, indeed, had left in search of gayer ;
scenes on an early train.
Arthur had caught a glimpse of a well I
known face near the window of the boat
house, and he passed on toward it.
With his words still ringing in her ears— ;
words that proved his faith in her—she
felt a sickening shame as he came near.
She dreaded the interview; how hard her 1
story seemed to tell now.
As he entered he was startled at the
E alencss in her faoe, the pained look in
er eyes. “Penelope,” he Baid, tenderly,
"do not grieve so. ’Tie but a silly lie, after
all, not a serious matter”—
“Arthur,” she interrupted, her voice
sounding harsh and strange, “Arthur, the
story is true. I am an actress. The Hrt
I follow I learned with my mother’s help;
it is our only support. I have nothing else
to confess, nothing else to conceal.”
She paused, and then said slowly, “Ar
thur, I have deceived you. I should have
told you long ago. Will you forgive me! ’
“Darling,” said he, "you stand upon the
porting of two rosidB, between which you
must choose. One leads to the old life,the
other whither? Shall we tread together
the new path? I believe in you—love you.
The soul within your eyes tells you are
good and true. The past is gone; will you
let me make your future?”
No need to question what her answer
waB. Still, lor fear some captious doubter
might not be content, I reprint a telegram
that flashed over the wires that day to
New York.
Mr. George Garrick, Comet Theater:
I hereby resign from your company, and
from the stage. Have written reasons.
Ada Adair.
