Morris Tucker and his uncle sat at their cosy breakfast table one win ter morning, each with a copy of the morning’s paper in his hand, each with a clouded brow and trouls- led eye. The elder gentleman was the first to speak. “It is a bad business, Morris!” “A bad business, indeed, sir!” Then there was another long si lence, while each again rcytd the ominous news of the failure of a firm whose business was so involv ed with their own that the failure of one house was nearly utter ruin to the other. The hot chops coolr d on the dish, the coffee was untoueh ed, and the breakfast literally for gotten, when the gentlemen left tl.r house to ascertain the extent < I their misfortunes. Bad as tiu-j feared these would prove, the rea - ities were even worse than the an ticipation, and before night tin old firm of Tucker & Co. was in the list ol failures. There was a dreary amount of hard, distasteful work to be done after the failure was an establish ed fact; but Morris Tucker never flinched from any task or interview till night shadows fell, and he faced his uncle at the table once more Then with sot features and a pale face, he said: “If you can spare me for an hour sir, I think I had better call on Misi Cress we 11.” “I can spare you, but are you wise to hurry an interview that, I fear, will he very painful ?” “Better to understand my posi tion at once, sir. If ” he moist ened the dry lips here, as if tin words choked him—“if Meta is true to me I will remain iiere and try to work my way up again to the po sition I held only yesterday. If six- frees me from my engagement, I accept your proposal to go to Cali fornia.” “I think.it is a good time to look up those old claims,” said Mr. Tuck er, sliding easily over the first part of his nephew’s speech; ‘‘there may be money in th“m.” “We will see! If I do not go wi will bo able to find some trusty messenger.” “Iam afraid you will go,” his un cle said. “It may be. Mrs. Cresswell is a worldly woman.” “Meta is a worldly woman! Nay, let me speak, Morris. I have said nothing before, though my heari was sore over your choice of a wife. Meta is wonderfully fascinating, beautiful and accomplished as but lew women are, but she is thorough ly heartless. I hoped your choice would fall on Clarice.” “Clarice! She is a mere child!” “Only two years younger than Meta. I love her very dearly, Mor ris.” “But you are fond of Meta!” ‘■No! For her father’s sake, the brother of my dead wife, I have tried to love Meta, but she repels me!” “Yet you never spoke when 1 told you I should seek to win her love.” “Bscause love is too sacred in ray eyes for any one to interfere with its expression. If Meta loves you I will give her warm welcome aud cordial afTection when she becomes your wife, Morris. But nerve your self for the worst, my boy.” Nerved for the worst Morris Tucker sought his betrothed bride. From the time he had come from his Western home, an orphaned lad of nineteen, to accept his uncle’s of fer of a home he had met Meta con stantly. He had received cordial welcome from her mother, and had not suspected the schemes and sub tle influence that had led him on. step by step, from the position ol friend to that of accepted suitor of the beautiful girl. While his feet were bringing him slowly to the momentous interview after the fail ure of the firm of which his uncle had made him full partner, Mrs. Cresswell was schooling her daugh ter to meet the emergency. “Did you write to Morris, Meta ?” she asked, languidly stirring her coffee. “Not yet,” was the reply. “He jwill probably call, being an honor able gentleman, mamma.” “I hope you will be firm, Meta. Remember that you have been the injured party throughout. From the time your poor papa died I have had every reason to believe Mr. Tucker would make you and your sister the. heiress of his property. He worshipped yoar aunt, and he never spoke of any relatives of his o wn till this nephew appeared. I believe there was some quarrel be tween the brothers that en<X»d in the younger one going West while John, the elder, remained, here. At ail events it is very clear now that Morris would have been heir to the business and property it this failure had not happened. You are to be congratulated that it came before the wedding, instead of af ter.” Meta shrugged her shoulders. “Yes! Love in a cottage is not in my style!” And while she spoke the bell rang, and she knew her lov er was waiting to test her cold worldly heart. She sauntered with easy grace into the drawing-room, while up-stairs in her own room her sister Clarice wept for the pain that was to fail upon Morris Tuck er’s heart. She was a brown-eyed, golden haired-girl, whose quiet, unpretend ing charms bad long been over shadowed by the more brilliant beauty of her sister Meta. She was timid to a fault, and was her moth er’s greatest affliction in her career of fashionable gayety. Her beauty was of the delicate order that does not strike at first glance, and her affections were carefully iiidden in her shrinking,gentle heart. She had given John Tucker true love since she was a mere baby and •■at upon hi a knee, playing with his w«tch chain. She had never thought of his motley, and when Morris came she was only glad that her dear old uncle, as she called him, was to have a companion and friend. She had never questioned her heart about Morris Tucker, rejoic ing sincerely when his engagement with Meta drew him into nearer brotherly relations with herself. Shyly as she had liked him, so she crept away to weep for him. The utter heartlessness that would throw him aside in his trouble was only comprehensible to her from Knowing well how her mother and •ister worshipped wealth. She heard the door of the draw ing-room open and her sister’s voice <ay coldly: “Good evening, Mr. Tucker. You have my best wishes for your fu ture success.” Then a voice as cold and haughty answered: “I have the honor to wish you good evening.” The drawing-room door closed, and Clarice could see Morris stand ing under the hall lamp, silent and evidently wishing to recover some what from the pain of the trying Interview before going into the street. He was very pale, and the brightness that had formed one of the greatest attractions of his face was all stricken from it. The sad, paiid face conquered all Clarice’s shyness. With a sudden, irresisti hie impulse she glided down the stairs and stood beside Morris. He did not hear the light foot fall upon the thick carpet, nor see that he was not alone until a soft touch on his arm startled him. Looking down he saw a sweet, pleading face, soft brown eyes, misty with unshed tears, raised to his own, while Clarice said, in a low voice: ‘Morris, I must tell you how sor ry I feel for you and Uncle John.’ “Thank you,” he said, gravely, covering the little white Hand upon his arm with his own; ’“I will tel my uncle what you say.” “Tell him,” she said, earnestly that he has no friend who loves hi more truly than I do—no one wh • feels more deeply any misfortune that can happen to him.” “I will carry your message. And will you Wish me God-speed, too? 1 sail for California in a few days.’’ The large, brown eyes dilated, while the sweet face grew white a- snow. The blow was too sudden. Without word or’ murmur CUrio- “Uncle John deal!” cried Clarice. “Yes more than -a year ag<>, though Morris has just returned. The bell! Someone is coming!” In the crowded drawing-room an hoar later, Morris Tucker bent gracefully over Meta’s hand and re sponded politely to her cordial greeting. He met ail her advan ces with such evident pleasure in his welcome that her heart beat j States of America: Whereas, It is CLETELASD’S 1’ROCLAM ATIOX. Encroachments Upon the Oklahoma Lands Forbidden. Washington, D. C., March 13.— The following proclamation was is sued by the President late this af ternoon: By the President of the L'nited highwith hope. Life had been a struggle for a rich husband ever since she had made her debut in so- alleged that certain individuals, as sociations of i»ersons and corpora tions are in unauthorized possession ciety, and now there was one pay- of portions of tiie territory known higher deferential attention upon [ as Oklahoma, and within the Indian whose heart she had once made a deep impression. Would he for got that cruel parting interview, and lay his fortune once more at her feet? Mr. Cooke, a young man about half witted, possessed of 1200,000, watched the brilliant beauty who had smiled so sweetly upon him all vinter with jealous eyes after Mor is entered the room, but Meta for got him in her new born hope. All lie evening Morris hovered about Meta, wondering where Clarice hau lidden herself; but when the sup per call thinne 1 the rooms MOta oissed her cavalier. In the con servatory Morris had seen a vision if a golden head and wiiite, fiutter- ng dress; and Clarice, half hidden by a ilo'»’ering screen, saw him de sert Meta and come heside her. Longing to see him, in an agony of maidenly shame at the secret she had revealed when they parted, she Territory, which are designated, decided and *-eeoinizetl by rite treaties and laws of the United States, and by the executive au thority thereol as Indian lands; and whereas it is further alleged that certain other persons or associations within the territory and juris diction of the United States have begun and set on foot preparations for an organized and forcible entry and settlement upon I membered everybody she met. A The Sen Administration Socially. The social aspects of the new ad ministration are discussed in tht Washington newspapers in an in teresting fashion. The Star believes there is a growing impression that the social interests of the White House will not be neglected under the new administration, and that while there may not be so much dignity as heretofore, White House guests will undoubtedly enjoy themselves as much, if not more. It is said that Miss Cleveland, who will be the social head of the White House for the next four years, has fne faculty of making herself agree able to a great many people at once. Word comes from Albany that her memory for faces and names is remarkable. In live days just previous to her departure from Albany she attended fourteen dif ferent social entertainments, in cluding breakfasts, luncheons, din ner parties and receptions, and re- the aforesaid land, and are now threatening such entry and occupa tion; and whereas the laws of the United States provide for the re moval of all persons residing or be ing found upon such Indian lands aud territory without permission expressly and legally obtained of the interior department; now, therefore, for the purpose of pro tecting the public interests as well as the interests of the Indian na tions and tribes, and to the end that hid there to watch him unseen. But. no I rerson or Persons may be induc ed to enter upon said territory, where they will not be allowed to fell forward, fainting. Morris caught her in his arms and carried her to the library. It was dark there, and no one saw the kiss he pressed up on the pale lips before he put Clar ice gently upon the sofa and left her. He did not linger again iu the hall. Snatching his coat and hat hurriedly from the rack he strode into the street and walked rapidly homeward. Five years passed swiftly, and Meta Cresswell had altered little when, five years after her parting interview with Morris Tucker, she stood in the wide dra-.ving-room of her mother’s house waiting to greet a number of invited guests. Time had matured her beauty and taken nothing from her great attractions. Clarice, shy as ever, and pretty as a violet, stood near her sister, while Mrs. Cresswell, magnificent in vel- vel an<* diamonds, spoke hurriedly: “Here is strange news, Meta. Mr. Jarvis has asked permission to oring an old friend, and who do you suppose it is ?” “I cannot guess,” said Meta, lan guidly; some musical man, 1 sup pose, as Mr. Jarvis is so devoted to Euterpe.” “No; it is Morris Tucker! Oh, Meta, I am so glad you have not positively accepted young Cooke!” “I thought you were very anxious to be mother-in-law to his 1200,000?’ “But not since I have heard Mr. Jarvis’news. My love, John Tuck er had some land claims in Califor nia that Morris hunted op and sold for more than double young Cook’s fortune. He has come home now, and is settling his uncle’s estate, be ing his heir to everything. he came swiftly across the flower bordered path to her side, and tak ing her hand in his, said: “Clarice, 1 have come all the way from California to try to win your love. Little one, with all my heart [ love you. My sole hope of happi ness is the hope that you will be my wife. Must I go hack again deso late, or will you bid me stay?” She looked iu f o the earnest face, the pleading eyes, and her heart grew faint with its own happiness as she whispered: “Stay, for I love you, Morris.” Meta saw the sister she had al ways despised for her timidity, aud the lover she had thrown aside ii his poverty, enter the drawing room blether, and her heart was full of jealous anger as she read their secret in their happy faces. She lias been Mrs. Cooke for three years—the miserable wife of a jeal ous miser, whose sole aims in life are to save money and keep his wife out of society. In their unhappy home there is constant quarreling, while Morris blesses every hour the temporary poverty that led him to ippreciate the heart of his little wife, and won for him a knowledge of the treasure of her love. There is a toddling boy named John, who calls Morris “papa,” and in the peaceful happiness of her home life and mother love Clarice is rapidly conquering her old timidity and let ting th“ world of society see some- ■ imes what an acccomplished, graceful lady Morris has won for us wife; And Morris holding her to his t -art will often say, tenderly: “The happiness of my life com- neneed, Clarice, when your tender ■sympathy greeted me at the the lime I was under a cloud.” Beauty rebind the Tea-i’ot. The tea-pot simmers in scores of Washington houses every afternoon tnd tea-drinking is now the popuiai mania and dissipation. In some houses one member of the family i- generally kept busily occupied all afternoon in making and pouring tea. A pretty woman never looks better than when seated behind a tea-table, set with a shining equii>- tge and rows of dainty cups. Eng lish breakfast tea is the fashionable leaf now, and as many of the fair brewers say, there is more pleasure in making than in drinking that herb-flavored stuff. In general the tea is steeped in a small silver pot and made of triplestrength, so that each cup has to be filled up witii boiling water fro.u the silver or brass tea-pot that is always steam ing over an alcohol lamp in the middle of the table. Some make each cup separately, the dry leaves being put in a perforated silver ball pendant from a long chain. The ball is dropped in the cup, boiling water poured in and the tea ball is stirred about until the decoction as sumes the right color and strength. This is quite the prettiest way of making tea, and the girls who ap preciate the chance for coquetries and tableauxs that the rite affords are enamored with the tea ball, providing always that there is some gallant man about to handle the burning silver when it is necessary to empty and refill the ball. remain without permission of the authority 7 aforesaid, I, Grover Cleveland, President of the United States, do hereby warn and admon ish all and every person or persons nowin the occupation of such lands, and all such person or persons who are intending, preparing or threat ening to enter and settle upon the same, that they will neither be per mitted to enter upon .-aid territory nor, if already there, to remain thereupon, and that in ease due re gard lor and voluntary’ obedience to -the laws and treaties of the United States, and of this admoni tion and warning be not sufficient to effect the purposes and intentions of the government as herein declar ed the military power of the United Slates will lie invoked to abate all such unauthorized possession, to prevent such threatened entry and occupation and to remove all such intruders from said Indian lands. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

Husbands and Wires. A good husband makes a good wife. Some men can neither do without wives nor with them; they are wretched alone In what is call ed single-blessedness, and they make their home miserable when they get married; they are like Thnmpkins’ dog, which could not hear to be loose, and howled when it was tied up. Happy bachelors are likely to be happy husbands, tnd a happy husband is the hap piest of men. A well-matched couple carry a joyful life between them, as the two spies carried the cluster of Eihcol. They are a brace of birds of Paradise. They multiply their joy’s by sharing them, and lessen their troubles by divid- them. This is fine arithmetic; The wagon of care rolls lightly along as they pull together, and when it drags a little heavily’, or there’s a hitch anywhere, they love each other all the more and so lighten the labor. number of private letters from prominent Albany people received recently in this city predict that Miss Cleveland will be a great fa vorite in Washington society. It is announced that while there will be no formal receptions at the Executive mansion for the present, Miss Cleveland will be at home Saturday afternoons this month t receive such friends as may choose to call. Mrs. Hendricksp being still at Willard’s, will not find it conven ient to hold receptions at present, and it is likely that she will de fer her foi mal reception until next season, although she will be at home informally to all friends to call- Mr. Manning and Mr. Endicott, with their wives, also occupy apart ments at hotels, and they too will be compelled, for the present at least, to take a very informal part in society. Mr. Bayard occupies his own resi dence on Highland place, but Mrs, Bayard’s ill-hpalth will prevent her taking an active part in society, Miss Bayard, however, will repre sent her mother, and do the honors of the household of the new secreta ry of state. The daughters of Mr. Lamar and Mr. Garland will like wise preside at their father’s resi dence here, and Mrs. Whitney will be at. home informally to her friends at her new home on Connecticut GENERAL NEWS. “Hubby, what were you dreaming about lait night when you said you would straddle the blind?” “Me?

A very winning story, called Beau ty’s Child, opens in this number, and “Janie” is brought to a conclu sion. Next month we are to have from Godey’s a new story by Chris tian Reid, called “An Instrument of Separation,” which promises to be very interesting. The short stories in the April number are good and strong, “Miss Hobbs” par ticularly. A timely article on “The Soudan” opens a possible series, It Depends. “Who owns this store, anyhow ?” he asked of a St. Louis clothier, with whom he had a dispute about a coat. “Vhell, I vhas owner to-day.” “And who was yesterday T “My vhife.” “And who will be to-morrow?” “Vhell, dot depends.

Two youthful politicians, one of Republican persuasion and the oth er a red-hot champion of the Demo cratic cause, had the following ani mated discussion of the situation on Frederica street a few evenings since. Said the Republican lad: “The Dimocrats can’t be no gaug ers and store-keepers.” “Why not?” questioned the irate Democrat. “Cause they can’t do no tigerin', that’s the reason.” “Then,” responded the disciple of Jefferson, “I’d like to know who found out how New York went Dimercratic if it wan’t the Dimer- crats that did ?” This was a poser. He was seated across the room. “George,” she said, “if a fire were suddenly to break oat in the house what would be your first impulse, do you think?” “Well, my first thought would be for you, of course. I would get you to a place of safety and then do what I could to extin guish the flames.” “That would be very nice of you, George, to think of me first; but if a fire were to break out now, for instance, wouldn’t you lose valuable time which will doubtless interest the j reaching me from way across the readers of Godey’s. The Presiden tial series closes this month with Grover Cleveland.
