It seems but yesterday that May Tripped lightly pasft, nor paused to stay A moment longer than twould take To set her signet near and far, In field and lane—the daisies' star; To set the grasses all ashake; To kiss the world Into a blush Of brier roses, pink and flush, For summer's sake. It seems but yesterday that June Came piping sweet a medley tune, Whereto the robin and the thrush Lent each hte trilling throat, the while The locust there beside the stile, Deep hid In tangled weed and brush. Spun out the season's skein of heat, With now a “wlilr” of shuttle fleet, And now a hush. It seems but yesterday, and yet Today I found my garden set In silver, and the roisterer wind Made bold to pluck me by the gown. What time 1 wandered ifiband down The path, to see if left behind Was one last rose that 1 might press Against my withered cheek, and less Feel time unkind. ^-Atlantic Monthly.

Very Kespectfully, 1D g to the rush of business and lack of time, we were unable to ennumerate and discribe a great many of also Athens Manufacturing and Importing Company. During my sojourn in Dijon, I was on intimate terms with an eccentric indi vidual named Eustache Loriot, a man of some forty years of age, fresh, ruddy, fair complexioned, rather stout, of me dium height, a largo head, with forehead unduly prominent, Socratic nose and china blue eyes. Ho was a deputy judge of the tribunal, but his duties leaving him considerable leisure, and being possessed of an inde pendent fortune, he had early abandoned himself to a passion for bric-a-brac. His collection comprised a little of every thing—rare books, medals, old china. He was, moreover, a member of an an tiquarian society, to which he addressed enthusiastic and prolix memoirs on each of his discoveries. Like many collectors, he displayed a childish simplicity and credulity on the subject of his antiquities. Apropos of a fragment of china or a piece of old iron, his imagination suggested to him mar velous histories, which he ended by be lieving in as firmly as in the articles of faith. Ho had found, for example, in a sec ond hand shop, a shapeless mask of forged iron, pierced with three holes for the eyes and mouth, and he was per fectly convinced that he possessed the identical iron mask that had served to conceal the features of the mysterious prisoner of Saint Marguerite and the Bastile. He had very nearly quarreled with me for venturing to insinuate, mildly, that according to authentic ac counts the famous iron mask was of black velvet, and that, moreover, had it been of iron, it was not likely that in the Seventeenth century—that epoch of Bkilled workmanship—there would not have been found for a prisoner of im portance something less heavy and less uncomfortable than this lump of iron. Although married, Eustache Loriot was childless. Hi3 wife was a pretty brunette of 28 years, well made, lively, with a pair of dangerous dark eyes, and a light down on the upper lip. Elegaut, pleasure loving, she found life extremely dull in the silent house in the Quartier des Grangettes, where her hus band accumulated his treasures, and where no visitors were received except ing a few old antiquarians and a young lawyer, a friend of Loriot’s, and, like him, an amateur in rare books. This celebrated advocate, Frederic Simonnet by name, was not more than 30 years of age, and passed for the head of the Dijon bar. He often came to borrow from Loriot’s library, and the evening on which 1 had the pleasure of making his acquaintance he had just brought back a fine copy of Daphnis and Ohloe,” bound in red morocco. “See,” said Loriot, proudly, handing the book to me, “here is a rare book that came from the library of M. des Armoises, a gentleman of Lorraine, who was imprisoned during the Terror, con demned to death, and whose mistress, a laundress, aided him to escape on the morning of the day fixed for his execu tion. I secured this book for almost nothing at the salt, of the effects of the daughter of the very woman who saved Des Armoises.” I took the book, and while turning the leaves remarked a singular circumstance. Here and them, from page to page, whole lines were underscored with minute dots or hyphens, some in red ink, others in yellow ink, and having the appearance of age. “Ah, this is curious,” I murmured; “have you noticed this peculiarity in your copy?” I asked of Loriot, showing him the marked pages. At the same timA, 1 raised my head and was struck by the uneasy, troubled expression of the lawyer’s countenance. I turned to ward Mme. Loriot and was astonished to see her pretty face reflect, as in a mirror, the confusion in Frederic Simone..- net’s. Loriot had perceived nothing. Hia- near sighted eyes fixed on the volume^ he was turning the ]>ages, murmuring; Yes, it is very strange, and what is strangest of all is that it had escaped ms until now. And you, Simonnet, had you remarked it?” I? No,” responded the lawyer, ied|«. dening slightly; 44 1 attached no imparle ance to it.” During tills time the young wife hail not uttered a word, but was bending over the fire, stirring it nervously. “No importance,” cried Loriot, firing up; “for my part I think there is. an. his> torical enigma there, a mysterious- Ians- guage to which l shall discover the keg- £ —you shall see, you shall seel u And he rubbed his hands. Some eight days after I met Loriot* and, with characteristic impetuosity, ho seized me by the arm. “My friend,” he said, “I am on the track, and before long I shall discover the key! Here is what I have found so far” (at the same time drawing the copy of “Daphnis and Chloe” from his pocket), “In the first place,” he continued, in opening the volume, “notice that the> dots are ulways in yellow ink and the hyphens always in red ink. They seen* to answer each other. Now, it is evident to me that Des Armoises kept this book in his prison, and his mistress, visiting him there, sometimes took away and sometimes returned the volume, so that with the aid of a cipher the two lovera used it as a means of correspondence Ha! is not that an ingenious explanation^- Only I have not yet discovered the key to the cipher, but with patience I shal) find it!” “Will you lend me the book for a cou ple of days?” I responded. 44 1 have stud ied cipher language a little and might be able to help you.” He consented, and I took the book home with me. It did not * require any long rtudy to discover the key, for the cipher used by the two correspondents was of the simplest. They had made use of the characters in the text, retaining their ordinary value, and it sufficed te place the marked letters side by side te reconstruct the sentences. The first that i deciphered was thi3: “He goes to the tribunal to-morrow ak S o’clock. Come; we shall not be dis turbed.” To which the hyphens in red ink re sponded : “It is understood, darling. At 3 o'clock A thousand kisses." I_was highly edified, and if my hypoth esis did not exactly coincide with Lori ot’s it was none the less most interesting. The next day 1 called at the judge’s at an hour when I felt certain of meeting his wife. 1 found her alone, before a blazing fire, and Eustache Loriot wa9 at work in his library. “I have discovered,” I Baid in a low voice to Mme. Loriot, “the key to tha famous cipher correspondence.” She never moved a muscle. “Ah,” she murmured, glancing sharp ly at me, “let ine see this book!” I handed it to her, and immediately with a rapid movement, she threw it, into the fire. Hush!” she continued, with an im» perious gesture; “you are a gallant man, monsieur; let this go no further.” And while I, stupefied, watchecL “Daphnis and Chloe” smolder, she stir red tiie fire with the tongs. When the hapless book was reduced to • an incandescent mass, she gavo a cry; Ah, moil Dieu, what a misfortunel- What will Eustache say?” At this exclamation, Loriot came nuk ing out. What has happened?” Such a misfortune, my dear. Mon sieur inadvertently placed the ‘Daphnis and Chloe’ on the arm of my chair, and I must have made a false movement and the volume fell into the grate. As we were conversing with our backs lo the fireplace, we did not perceive it mi til too late. ” Eustache seized the tongs in constemar- tion. pulled out the burning book, and rushed to plunge it into a basin of water. But it was of no use. When taken out of its bath nothing remained of “Daphnia and Chloe” but a heap of charred cinders. “What a disaster!” lamented Loriot; it is not so much a rare book that I re gret, but there are the documentary mar terials that the fire has devoured—I re peat it, there was an enigma there of the highest interest—and just as I was about todiscover the keyl”—Translated for The Argonaut from the French of Andre Theuriet by H. C. R. Chewing Gam Retired Her. The young ladies who delight in the felicities of chewing gum, and keep their pretty little jaws at work from morning until night in masticating what they can never swallow, lad better take warning * in time, if they prize their, beauty. It appears that a young society belle of this city has so exercised her masticatory muscles that they stick out like the bi ceps which helped John L. Sullivan win the prize of champion. The young lady has gone into retirement, as her unusual facial development is anything but at tractive, and the only prescription that it is possible to give her is the advice “don’t move your jaws,” which she is endeavoring to fulfill in the seclusion ot her home.—Washington Post. ■ i A Low Cost Dress. Today I met a lady friend who is able to buy the handsomest dresses in New York, and I saw that she wore a neat and ladylike gown of dark gray fiannel cloth, trimmed with black braid, and made in a neat and simple but very tak ing style. I fell in love with the dress, and she told me that she had made it. herself, and that braid, buttons and ma terial had cost her just $3.60, and sha enumerated the articles and I found it so. There are dozens of fall materials thr.t are all wool and which will make up very pretty suits from 13 to 25 cents per yard. Of course, a dressmaker would have run the price up, but aha said that she enjoyed the making of her dress.—Olive Harper. j
