Mrs. Leam- ^gton felt thatsne liad appearances—the bane of existence to keep up; in fact, S ^ G WaS P erfectl y Willing to live in threadbare uneasiness, if she could only succeed in convincing the world that she was basking in the comparative sun of luxury. Peggy had sewed industriously night and da y for a large wholesale shop that paid her but a miserable pittance, yet afforded her the means of keeping from the door the wolf—that terrible black mas- ter—tne cruel extorter of so much blood- money. Mrs. Leamington saw her little flat ever bright and pretty, she ate many a luxury that Peggy pathetically pre¬ tended she herself didn’t like, there not being enough to “go round.” Her life was as free from care as an unselfish little could make it. Then, there was Jack—Jack Ruffing- ton. Since he had come into Peggy’s life things have been much more endur¬ able. lie had met the little lady at the house of one of her old school friends, and Peggy’s flaxen locks and azure eyes had charmed the susceptible young man. He didn’t think he was susceptible, hoiv- ever. No man does. Peggy, with as much dignity as nineteen summers could command, had asked him to call and see mamma. “lam sure you would like her,” she said, after she had met Mr. Ruxfingtou several times at this accommodating friend’s house. Then she added, wiclc- edly: “You can come and see her of- ten, you know r when I in out, ’ Peggy did not have many Opportuui- ^ , indulge in those little es harmless coquetries so necessary to many women, Stern realities claimed her almost entire- Jj- \ 1VC , The ^ flltte utterfl d y P ast beauties he y- of Cold life seemed solid » facts , remained. 1 Try and be coquettish, young women, in the presence ot these fa ?. ts ’ lf y0 ' 1 Cal ' Uc] l ItUffing t ° l ! called at , Mrs. T Leamington 3 modest 1 apartments.

She listened to all .Jack s stones, sympathized with his plans .or the future, and while she pied ueedl ® a “ d 8t,tched awa 3‘ tor dear llfe and the dear life of her mother,gave him the benefit of her girlish advice; Those were tie fiat delightful evenings. The stuffy lit- was a far-extending paradise; the dreamy little clock a cruel, inconsiderate Then the night came when Jack asked Peggy to be his wife, and she in her en- thusiasm utterly ruined a dainty lace ruffle that she had been manipulating; “Vou must wait for me, Peggy,” lie said, looking at her blushing, coy face, “The governor has promised to raise me as soou as ever I step into Smith's place, and then Peggy—we’ll have a flat larger than this, and your mother shall live with us—and—and—oh, Peggy, shall we Peggy not be happy!” actually shed tears of joy as she looked upon the glowing picture painted by the anticipative imagination of Mr. Ruffington. Might he exact a lover's privilege and take a kiss? Peggy crim- soned at the question, but nevertheless held up her face at a very kissable distance and Mr. Jack made not the least cere- rnony. Two days later an unpretentious little engagement ring encircled Miss Leamington’s pretty finger. The girl sat thinking of all these pleas- ant moments one cold, dark afternoon when the days had slipped away from autumn and were speeding winterward as rapidly as possible. Since her en- gagement have nothing but ill luck seemed to fallen to her lot. The very next day she had received a letter from her employers at the large wholesale shop that had kept her supplied her with Business was verv bad. said the i ett „, 0 .^ m ^ g™. to«. duce expenses.

She could not remain more than a fortnight without work. If she did, the small hoard of savings that she kept as an emergency fund would be exhausted. Site trotted patiently downtown and visited each of the big stores, determined to obtain work by some means. But the polite answer she received on ail side* rendered argument impossible. She had thought of making some sort of desper- ate appeal to these frigid autocrats. But. once in their presence and she found it impossible. Reasoning was out of thc question. yeux sddreas’’ was the balm volunteered, and what balm that is to the workseeker! On her way home from this discourag¬ quest, her eyes were attracted by a poster, fitfully lighted by a neigh¬ lamp. In big blue letters the was made that a glittering would shortly be presented at Niblo’s Garden, with “bevies of beauti¬ ful girls and hundreds of stalwart men.” A sudden inspiration came to Peggy. She had been to the theatre but twice in fi er life and knew very little about it, but she had seen girls much uglier than she was joining in stage crowds and playing small, unimportant parts. If only she could get a chance in one of the “bevies of beautiful girls!” It would pav her better than the sewing and it would be a p ifcasa nt cha D = e : Wi ; hout ? iviu ? berself . , , and asked to see the manager of the pany that was to give the production. He came to her and she did not faint when he appeared. On the contrary, she was very much on the alert and answered all questions with a self-assurance that en,| 3 r r I ' Medthe « entleman ' rbo i ,ut JfL'SHEff d id st ooSn sort o“TSde ? wi En ahe t wasn’t at all accomplished, because man- agers very rarely meet that kind of per- son. Applicants for positions on the stage are nearly always the greatest people on earth—in their own estima- tion . “I will give you a chance, young lady,” he said at last,” and will cast you f or a small part called the Queen of the Gnomes. You have but a few lines to speak, and have finished at the end of the second act, when you can go home to your mother.” For Peggy had told this kindly- looking manager everything. She was delighted at her luck and went home “on air.” It was not till later, when her mother had fallen asleep over her knitting, that Peggv She* began to feel a little doubtful. would not dare to tell Mrs. Leamington what she w T as going to do. The old lady had a perfect horror n f theatres, and, after all, Peggy re- fleeted, it would not be necessary to di- V ulge her secret. She could look for work in the shops every day, and then when she found it she could resign from her queenship of the gnomes. It was ab- solutely necessary that she earn money, Starvation stared them in the face with- out it. And Jack—no, she could not tell Jack. Mr. RutRngton would certainly not care to imagine that his affianced wife was every evening a queen of the gnomes for the benefit of a critieal public. Poor Peggy! She rebelled at the idea of de¬ ception. It is easy to be frank and straightforward when there is no reason why you should be otherwise. One thing she remembered with joy. Jack was obliged to work every night now. He would not miss her. They could spend their Sundays together just the same as ever. So Peggy went to rehearsal, and was pronounced entirely competent. The work was very distasteful to her; the people with whom she came in contact disgusted her. But she associated with them as little as possible, and was careful to avoid giving offense. Peggy’s trials began during the first week. The King of the Gnomes per- sisted in persecuting her w r ith attentions. jj e W as a very objectionable creature, and she tried hard to let him see that she thought so. She longed to confide { n Jack—dear, old Jack—but there she was without a soul in the world to whom she could tell her troubles. In herpnnci- pa l scene with the King of the Gnomes s he had to tear from his face a black veil which he wore ’ and manifest astonish- raeu t at his feature? which she was sup- posed fiever to have seen before, having married him by some weird rite. The King always seized this opportunity to sm ii e sweetly aud to press her hand af- feotionately as possible. One night as she reached her home she was going to her room, tired and discouraged, when, standing his m the par- ] or , with an angry pallor on face, she saw Jack In an agony of apprehension s h e tried to mentally formulate some ex- cuses for her absence before she went to him, but he gave her no time. He rushed meet her, and flrew her into the room. “Peggy,” he said, his eyes big with reproach, “you out alone at this time of flight t Where have you been?*’ Peggy was silent. Her load of woe seemed really greater than she could “j as ked vour mother,” Jack went on, looking into'her tear-dimmed eyes, “and sb e told me that you were out every n j gb t now, working.

Do you suppose we have an income or—or—that it—it rains money s” “No, dear,” he said, tenderly stroking the smooth little head, and the light of deepest compassion in his eyes—which sb e couldn't see. “I know you go to work, but I do not believe that you still d 0 the sewing as your * mother thinks.

Of course, he had the right to i question her, but she resented his inter- j ference. Then she was afraid of his anger when he learned what she was doing. But men were so inconsiderate, she thought. They would sooner hear of a woman starving than working for her livelihood. If Peggv had applied to Jack he might have helped her, but the independent little lady would have cut out her tongue rather than apply to the Joung mau The idea of work next night sickened her. She went to the theatre depressed and ill. Queen of the Gnomes’. How utterly silly the term queen sounded applied to herself. She felt she was the most inferior gnome in the gathering. Then the thought of meeting the King face to face again! How horrible it was! Was life always to be as dark and un- pleasant as it seemed just now? Peggy donned her black goblin attire with the strongest inclination she had ever felt to tear it to pieces. She was thankful she had not been called upon to be one of the smiling radiant fairies. She could not have smiled upon this occasion. The curtain rose upon the dark, sub- terranean cavern, where the gnomes had home. Peggy was thinking told of all the time. If only the had what she was doing! She would have felt more at her ease, at anj rate. Thii weight on the conscience was killing her. j She would tell him to-morrow. Further concealment was utterly impossible. r. ! felt better sftcr .v site bud come to . this determination and nerved herself for her work in the second act, when she had to meet the king of Gnomes. She had not seen him behind the scenes at all to- night. Usually he was a most determined lounger, although he was not obliged to appear until the second act. Ah! There he was. As she saw him approaching she turned awav in an ir- repressible ecstasy of repulsion. He did not attempt to come near her, while" strange to sav. He stood at one win- she waited at the other.

The dreaded moment was at hand, llis arm was around her waist. He was unnecessarily close. It ' was horrible. It was— In a frenzv of wrath she looked up words of burning indignation on her lips. They were never uttered. The color fled from her cheeks; her eyes were rounded with a vast surprise; her breath came and went most alarmingly; she would have fallen but that the King held held her firmly and masterfully in his arms. And in this King she recognized her own Jack Rufiington. ♦ “How did you manage it, Jack?” asked Peggy, excitedly, as they were in the street, on their way home. Jack laughed. “Dearest girl,” he said, “did you imagine that you could have done anything for anv length of time without my knowing it? A week ago I called at your house aud found you out. I make your mother promise not to tell you of my visit. Next night I dis¬ covered what you were doing—no matter how. Last night I gave you an oppor¬ tunity to confide in me. No, you were too self-willed. So I puzzled the thing over, and finally decided upon this scheme. I knew the stage manager of the company, and also the manager. It appears that the fellow who has played the King of the Gnomes left suddenly after last night’s performance. They have engaged somebody for Monday. I persuaded them to let me go on to¬ night. ” “Oh, Jack!” exclaimed Peggy. She could say nothing more. “Well, Miss Leamington.” “Will you ever forgive me, Jack, for my deception.

Some _ Rare 01,1 Bonds - It was while Judge Folger was Secre- (said an old treasury official).' One an old man came in to me wiio from a New England State. He that about twenty years ago he found old stocks or bonds among the of an uncle (mentioning his name); had been a man .of had national reputa- for ability, aud a Comfortable for those days—that is, from 1350 1840—and he had come to the United States Treasury to find out if they were anything as they seemed to be United States bonds, I looked at them. They were ten of the “old debt ’ bonds, aad were indeed curiosities. They were old and yellow from age, but were worth, principal arid interest, years'interest in gold, $70,000, for there was ten due on them. You can imagine the old man s amazement when I told him this. “Why, I would gladly have taken $5000 for them,” said he, “and I offered them to a Boston banker for less than that, but he rather superciliously and contemptuous- ly declined to buy them at any figure. I took the old man in to see Judge. Fol- ger. who was very much interested in the matter when I explained it to him. He had any ot the “old loan ^ se- never seen curities, and after these were paid and canceled I believe he directed that one of them be framed and preserved.

There are guilds of beggar.-, besides the numerous commu¬ nities of dervishes, who me semi-religious mendicants. Many families hive been beggirs for generations, and tire mendicants from choice. !Some of these profeisional beggars are actually wealthy. Four-hud-tweuty years ago the writer well remembers a case. 'i he Chief Beg¬ gar (the title was not conferred in deri¬ sion) gave his daughter in marriage to a substantial farmer. The girl’s dowry consisted of two freehold hous< a, the rooms of which were entirely ti led with dry pieces of bread, and the sale of these begged crusts subsequently realized a considerable sum, beiug disposed of as foo I for cattle. In the east there is no organized chanty, but Mussulmen are exceedingly charitable, many giving away a tiih and even a third of their in¬ come. The Wife of Columbus. While at Lisbon, Columbus was accus¬ tomed to attend service,says Washington Irviner, at the chapel of the convent of All Saints. There he became acquainted with a lady of rank, named Dona Fell pa, who resided at the convent. She ua- the daughter of Bartollommeo Mo ris de Pallestrello, or Perestrello, on Italian cavalier, lately deceased, who had been one of the most Henry distinguished Portugal, navigators and under Prince of had colonized and governed the Island of Porto Santo. The acquaintance soon ripened into attachment and ended in marriage. It appears, adds Irving, to have been a match of mere affection as the lady had little or no fortune. The Tiger’s Choice. The Java Bode records a singular ad¬ venture which recently befell a govern¬ ment surveyor in the wilds of Sumatra. After a hard day's work on a mountain side he passed the night in the open air in a hut ha'tily‘run up by his coolie3. As be was falling asleep alter long watch¬ ing, the sight of two fiery eyes glaring paiul- m at tlie entrance of thc hut almost ized him with terror, An enoimouB royal tiger soon glided in, smelled him fill over, and then set to work devouring the remains of his evening meal to the last morsel. Afterward bis terrible guest disappeared. According to the New York Commer¬ cial Advertiser, since 1860 more than 60,- 000 bodies have been buried in the Pot¬ ter’s Field on Hart’s Island. There are no single interments, The bodies arc placed in trenches, dug in regular rows, forty-five feet long, fourteen feet wide, and ten feet deep. Each of these pits will hold one hundred and fifty bodies.
