A NAME IN THE HAND.
BY OEO. I>. PBEXTICE.
Alone I walked the ocean strand,
A pearly shell was in my hand,
1 stooped ami wrote upon the sand
My name, the year and day.
As onward from the snot I passed,
One lingering look behind I cast.
A wave~came rolling high and fast,
And washed my lines away.
And so, incthought, ’twill ijnickly be
With ev ry mark on earth of me;
A wave of dark oblivion’s sea
Will sweep across the place
Where I h#vo trod the sanuy shore
Of time, and been—to me no more—
Of me, inv day, the name I bore,
To leave no track or trace.
And yet, with Hl.n who counts the sands,
And holds the waters in His hands,
I know a lasting record stands
Inscribed against my name.
Of ail this mortal part 1ms wrought,
Of all this waking soul has tho* ght.
And from these fleeting moments caught,
For glory or for shame.
A FORTUNATE FAN.
The side floor ol the Academy ol
Design alone was accessible during
the recent Pedestal Fund L*mn Ex
hibition on Monday mor dug pre-
piratoryto the opening. The po
I iceman at the door narrowly scan
ned everyone who entered or de
parted, and demanded name and
card. For there were jewels, fans,
laces, and olher choice things, com
ing and going all the time, and an
opportunity for theft, or loss from
carelessness of these valuables were
imminent.
This official afterwards remem
bered that an exceedingly marked
inan entered, apparently with no
bundle about him, although he
might have hud a jewelled snuff
box of the reign of Louis Qiinze in
his pocket. He was a very hand
some man, oval f *ce, black eyes and
prematurely gray hair, which he
wore long. Rather a conspicuous
personage.
“Your name, sir,” said tho police
man, stopping him and eyeing him
keenly.
•‘My name, eh!” said the stranger
rather angrily— “eh! Col. Beau-
clere.”
At this moment a lady came down
to go out of the building. S.ie was
well known to the policeman as one
of the managers up stHirs, and as
she met the gentleman she extend
ed her hand and said cordially:
“Oh, Col. B auclerc, I am so hap
py to meet you! I haveju-t come
down, and am tired to death! Such
a scone of confusion upstairs, and
we open to-night! Would you car
ry back this fan for me, and give it
to Miss Lomax? I had it in the
pocket ol my sealskin and forgot to
take it out; it is nuite invaluable,
belongs to Mrs. McElroy, and I
hope it will be put in a choice place;
hut 1 have absolutely brought it
down with me; how careless! it ar
rived too late to be judged aud too
late to be catalogued, but I am de
termined to get it in. Would you
take it up for me?’’
“Certainly, M ; ss Mira bean; de
lighted! To whom shall I give it?”
sai t the colonel, restored to the po-
licemaifs confidence.
“To Miss Lomax; and for worlds
o not tail, tor M:s. McElroy is al-
« :oly drendlully offended because.
me of her exhibits were refused a
(dace. Indeed, I believe she and
Mr Smith have had some words,
mid she is so nice, and so kind, and
loaned such beautiful things
Ibat I would not have her feelings
(urt for the world.”
(“But I do not know Miss Lomax,”
nivi the handsome colonel, admir-
iig the fine face before him, and
[linking that fatigue, hard work,
i an ulster, in fact a work-a-day
, in every respect was becoming

)h, you will easily find Miss Lo-

to the other side to see the later Wherever a stolen fan could go,
work of Detalie. Then he wander- there together did this handsome
ed off to examine the Jade, and fi
nally rendered up to the lady in
charge his own exhibit—a small,
but very beautiful piece of antique
jewelry.
Then he felt in his pocket and dis
covered the fan, the little long black
package, which he had been in
structed to leave with Miss Lomax.
“But where was Miss Lomax?"
She had become invis ; b ! e. “Oh!
there she is now!” said the lady
with whom he had spoken; “that
young lady with the light hair.”
And here the colonel’s memory
becomes hazy-. He thinks now that
he laid the fan down on the glass
case, while he went for Miss Lo
max. He pursued that iqnisfataus
through all the rooms. He found
her in the picture gallery and told
her the story of the fan.
“Oh! ye-*,”said she, “we have sav
ed a place for that fan of Mrs. McEl
roy. Do give it to ine, for she is fu
riou?.”
e Colonel,suddenly frightened
felt for the fan, but could not find it
in his pocket; then he remembered
that he left it on the gla-s ease. He
and Miss Lomax wandered back to
the case, but the fan was gone. Just
at that moment Mrs. Majoribanks
came flitting by, pale and nervous,
We have lost a lace fichu,” said
she, “worth ever so many thousand
dollars! Oh, what shall I do!”
“Mi3S Lomax looked at the colo
nel, and the Colonel looked at Miss
Lomax.
“Stolen! Stolen!” said Miss Lo
max hysterically.
An hour was passed in inquiries
ind in agitated search, complicated
by the feverish whisper of Miss Lo
max, that the irate Mrs. McElroy
was walking through the rooms and
looking daggers at everybody.
“What if she should hear that we
had lost her fan! said two or three
ladies surrounding the colonel, and
amiably dividing the guilt with
him.
For the Colonel was one of those
magnetic and remarkable male
beauties who always receive the
sympathy of the female sex. They
were all ready to excuse him and
blame Emily Miraheau. She should
not have asked him to take charge
of the fan! and so on.
But the Colonel assumed the re
sponsibility at once.
“I alone am to blame,” said he
“and if money can pay for that ac—
I mean that Spanish fan—I will
pay for it.”
“But she said that ten thousand
dollars would not pay for that fan,”
said a member of the insurance
committee who passed. “It is an
heirloom.”
The Colonel groaned.
At this moment one of the execu
tive committee passed anri whis
pered caution. If there were a pick
pocket in the building great care
must be observed, and undoubtedly
hotli the lace fichu and the fan
would be found.
So the Colonel, In no envisM
frame of mind, departed to me.-i
Miss Miraheau and to <-i.tntini«-:it•
to her the dreadful ill elii.o-iiee. To
his surprise she was r*-»i:irkn'*l>
sweet and bore her tali sh re of tin
guilt.
“I had no ritrht. Colonel, to a-k
you to take charge of that valuable
fan. It was stolen from you, ir was
stolen from tne." and she looked at
him very kindly.
An electric telegraph shot through
the Colonel from head to heel.-
“By jove!” said he to hi...self; “n
woman with a sense of justice, and
a very pretty woman, too!”
But although they had a very
agreeable half hour bewailing their
woes, Miss Mirabeau turned pale
when she said:
“Who is to tell Mrs. Elroy?”
“We must wait a few days to see
the result of Mr. Smith’s search,’
said the Colonel. “Then, it it is feal-
ly irrevocably lost, I will pay for it
if I can.”
“Oh, you can’t'” said Miss Mira
beau. “It is an heirloom!”
The Colonel thought there were
some looms on which nothing but
despair was woven, but lie looked
at Miss Mirabeau.
“Let us take it calmly and go to
the opening to-night.”
“Oh! no,” said the careless E.nily
shivering; “I can never face Mrs v
McElroy until I learn the very
worst”
The lace fichu was found, but the
fan was not, and the Colonel and
Emily walked about like two sus
pected murderers. Their visits to
the exhibition were made furtively
and like undetected criminals they
shunned Mrs. McElroy. Strangely
enough, that irate lady did not make
any inquiries for her fan; and it was
observed she did not come to the
exposition, all of which was omi
nous.
Nothing is more sweet than anau
tual joy. Col. Beauclerc would have
never found out how charming Em
ily Mirabeau could be, had it not
been for the anxious and mysteri
ous secret which now bound them
together.
They grew intimate with police
men, employed detectives, and were
and unusual couple go. That fan
must be found.
However, this was not the worst
of it. The Colonel came one day
with a paper in his hand. His mar
tial brow was clouded.
“Read that,” said he to Miss Mi
rabeau, almost assuming an after-
breakfast martial air.
“Read that—Emily!”
She started—he had never called
her “Emily” until this minute.
It was a low paper, one she had
never seen before, still it was print,
that was the tembto fact. The iron • aerioi-i moveuient ^ij.jt thf .Qp » t&e Bulgarian troops, has followed
machinery of the patent press had
caught up their troublp, and was
wont to blazon it to an unsympa
thizing world.
Still, he h»d called her Emily
The paragraph read thus:
“Those conversant with a certain
gay set in this city, cannot have
tailed to hear that losses have oe
curred quite unaccountably, in the
most aristocratic circles, and indeed
u e fear that some of the deposits at
the noted exposition have not all
found tln-ir way to the glass cases.
A striking-looking individual, with
prematurely gray hair and a qer
tain so called beauty of countenance
a great favorite with the ladies, and
the possessor of a foreign name and
title, is more than suspected of be
ing little better than a thief.”
“Oh dear,” said poor Emily, quite
crushed, “so we have got to that.”
“‘Dear,’did you say ?” asked the
Colonel,“and ‘we?’” and he looked
volumes.
“At any rate,” said she, “1 can
prove your innocence. Let me write
to this paper aud tell the whole sto
ry,” she moved toward her desk.
No,” said he, ?that would delight
them too much; that would be put
ting on the cap.”
The great exposition came to an
end, and everything was safely sent
home to its owner. Not a loss of
any kind occurred, excepting that
of Mrs McElroy’s fan. The Colo
nel had spent no end of money to
find it, but the thief remained con
cealed. Both he and Einily had
lost flesh and color, hut their faces
looked as if they had found some
thing else of greater value.
They now sat hand in hand, and
eye to eye,in Mrs. Majoribanks’ par
lor. Mrs. Majoribanks was their
mutual friend and the repository of
their two secrets; for it was consid
ered by all concerned that- nothing
should be sajd of their loss, until
the police had had time to search
for the missing fan.
“I have found a wife, if I have lost
a Ian,” said the Colonel, tenderly
looking down at Emily. Just then
Miss Lomax was announced.
“Ah, well,” said she, “we are
t hrough with the great work—aren’t
you glad, Mrs. Majoribanks? How
do you do, Emily! Good morring,
Colonel! why, how happy you all
look!”
Mrs. Majoribanks toid her of the
ngagement, and congratulations
flowed'freely.
“Bui,” said Emily, “we shall not
niiouiicp, until that dreadful fan is
ing to Say. Nobody ever inquired
for tile fan afterwards, so nobody
missed it, I suppose.”
“So long as the fan got back to
you all right, my dear Mrs. McEl
roy,” said the diplomat, “only the
exposition is the loser. I consider it
a very foitunate fan.”

The conversation was about Bish
ops, and one fervent dame said:
“How good the dear Bishop of Pe

Instantly a gentleman replied:
“There is no merit in that: Bishops

expected to be good for nothing and

Mrs. Brown’s pretty waitress got

it’ll be his loss and not mine.”
An Irish girl who had applied lor

The report has gained large cir

“Whai! Wh.-re? How!” said the

Count de Fuis, ‘Just to think—this
fan was not considered good enough
to be exhibited ?’ ”
Now Emily and the Colonel were
in a new dilemma. Had Mrs. Me
Elroy advertised for her fan, and
had she reached it through the 'po
lice ? If so, they were still guilty,
and ought to find out what reward
she had paid, and what expenses
she had incurred. For there, they,
the careless and now happy couple,
were undoubtedly responsible. The
Colonel breathed freeT and deeper
as he reflected that he had not to
pay the ten thousand dollars! Mrs.
Majoribanks promised to make a
diplomatic visit, and to ascertain if
possible how Mrs. McElroy recover

It was fortunate for all parties

A Gaelic verse says: “Thrice

miles; 100feet high, UK, miles; 200
feet high, 16 1 .) miles; 500 feet high,

ing and inducive of mental imbe
cility. This cannot be shown hy
facts. Let a person conje to this
clim? te from the East, the South, or
the coast of Mexico, in the summer,
says the Arizona Herald, and
though our thermometer is ranging
along about 103 degrees the climate
will be exhilerating, because it is so
perfectly dry. We never hear
complaint of heat till a fall ol rain
gives ns a temporary moisture.
