UNANSWERED.
If we could see the end
Waiting for us down the way,
The coming of life’s night time—
The closing of life’s day;
The last of all our trials, our troubles and our
pains,
The last of all our losses, the last of all our
gains;
Would the hours seem as moments.
Or would they seem too long?
Would our hearts beat faint and fainter.
Or would they beat more strong?
There are joys that give us heartaches,
'■There are pains that seem as kisses;
There are depths that lift us skyward,
There are heights that seem abysses;
And our lives are not the brightest
When the suun’est hours infold them;
Our hearts are often lightest
When the heaviest sorrows hold them.
And these strange contrary feelings
Make us hold life’3 thread in wonder,
As we see by faith no farther
Thau by sight, wherewith we blunder;
Bo we look toward the ending
Of our cares, and trials, and blisses,
And ask if death is darkness,
Or only light and kisses.
But no answering word comes to us—
No replies, and no suggestions;
Doubt and fear each hour assail us.
Yet each hour brings newer questions.
And the end, though coming nearer,
Is no nearer in its easing,
For the heart keeps on its wandering.
And the soul keeps on its teasing;
And the Sphinx of doubt and fear,
Still the soul doth tear and rond,
With its joyful, vexful question—
What if we could see the end?

TOO LITTLE BUTTER.
The Great Trouble Caused by a
Stupid Artist.
Yes, I certainly did wrong, and the
dark days that my punishment brought
I could not but feel were deserved.
When I was eighteen, father died, and
his orphan children were left to learn
the meaning of the dismal word pov
erty. We had lived for many years in
different places in Germany and
France, and had never revisited the old
home in New Hampshire, which I
could dimly remember. Father had
been Vice-Consul and then clerk in a
bank until mother died, wjien he
seemed to lose all interest in outside
matters, and stayed quietly at home in
our little apartment at Mannheim.
After his death, I was obliged to seek
employment. I was well educated,
and I was engaged as governess to the
little Countess Valerie von [Lilienberg.
She was a beautiful child with rip
ples of long golden hair tossing in
downy rings over her head like a nim
bus, and she had a swift, floating,
noiseless way ol n alUng, Li....
very spirit-like. Valerie was not quite
ten years old when I entered the fam
ily, so my duties with her were not
very burdensome. I was to teach her
English, talk that language with her
constantly, take her to walk, and
watch over her when others were not
in charge. We grew very fond of
each other, and her sweet, loving ways
helped me more to overcome my grief
at father’s death than any other influ
ench I can remember. I saw very lit
tle of the elder members of the family;
Count Lilienberg had an important
position at court, and was otten ab
sent; the Countess, his wife, was busy
with the claims of society, and had
time for little else. I knew she was
very fond of Valerie, but save for a
drive in the afternoon and a good
night kiss and blessing, she scarcely
ever saw the child.
Fart of the second summer of my en
gagement with Valerie we spent at Hei
delberg. Here I will allow myself a brief
digre sion, to tell what is to me by far
the most interesting and most impor
tant part of my story. Down at the
end of a pretty, quiet lane, under the
shadow of the old “Schloss,” was an
artist’s studio, called the Mouse-Nebt.
It was rather crowded, being shared by
a sculptor and painter, but it was a
wonderfully fascinating place to visit.
The pa nter was a German, with an un
ruly crop of hair and a fine voice for
student songs. The sculptor was Tracy
Norton. We had met the year before
father died, and that summer Tracy
asked me if I would be his wife. I loved
him, and had accepted him. He was
poor, but that was nothing for a young
man of his promise; he had not sold
any statues yet, but he had two gold
medals for industry and talent, and or
ders were sure to come later.
Once a week Valerie and I went to
the Mouse-Nest for a brief half hour,
and I think for both of us this visit was
the pleasantest event of the week. Val
erie, for her age, was unusually fond
of pictures, and to be able to watch
them from the first splash of paint
upon the canvas, to the final touch of
high light, was deeply interesting. All
this was very innocent amusement to
American eyes, but I knew that my
employers would regard it in a very
different light, and that their etiquette
forbade two girls going unattended to
an artist’s workshop, even though one of
the girls was a child, and the othejiwas
Engaged in marriage to the artist. They
L'ould disapprove of it for Valerie, and
for me as Valerie’s guardian.
Here begins my fault, of which I
have already spoken. When returning
from our first visit to the J
said to my little companion:
“We will say nothing at home of
where we have been, Valerie, or per
haps they will forbid our going again.”
Tracy was modeling a statue of
Psyche, which he hoped to send to the
exposition at Dusseldorf the following
year. The drawings for it represented
the half-draped figure of a beautiful
young girl, sitting on a mossy uank,
with a clump of primroses growing at
her feet, and her head turned with
sweet, easy grace to a butterfly, perched
lightly on her bare shoulder. The fig
ure was well on toward completion in
clay, but Tracf had not yet fourfi the
model he fancied for the face.
Walking oaa day near Una Molkeu-
kur. Tracy mt and joined Valerie and
ire.
“ ! have an idea, Audrey,” he said,
presently, in an undertone. “I thought
it over half the night, and I hare de
cided that ttre face of the flttle Count
ess is just what 1 want for say Psyche.
My figure is of a girl of piM'baps four
t*?o3, but her Eceellenia Vaiwdfe looks
at limes much ohier than she is; in
fac.i she often seems to be oo mem plat
ing. with those big. purple, Russian
viclet eyes ef hers, the doings of past
agey she has lived among, dust her
loox I would like my Soul to tufan upon
her immortal butterfly. Would you
ask her parents to grant me the honor
of t. few sittings, or would she sit to
me for a little while each time you
come to the studio, without going
thr ugh the form erf asking permis
sion' 1 ”
m sure she would; and 1 think it
wop Id be the safer, more certain way
not to mention it to the rbn L&en
bc(gs.”
Ho a copy of my little Valerie’s sweet
face was begun in clay, to her amuse
ment and Tracy’s evident satisfaction.
One day, after the third or fourth sit
ting, Chloris, Countess Lilienberg’s
maid, told me that the family intended
leaving Heidelberg in a few days. This
report proved to be true, and my first
rt gret was tor Tracy’s unfinished work.
Many more sittings wonld be needed
before the model of Valerie’s face
would serve as a copy; we did not let
In r sit long at a time, for fear if tiring
her, and little had been don& as yet.
We carried oar ill tidings to the studio
that aftern-otVL and Traf even
nn>re troubled than I bud §ppscd he
would be.
“I am steking every thing tax this
statue,” lie saW, solemnly. “Next
year’s rent of the sftudtew my board bill,
washer-woman, future earoec, all. My
Psyche is promised a plaoo In the Run
don Saal, from which either museums
or private individuals buy all but
trash.”
‘Get old Sigwart to take a cast of
her face, ’ ’ suggested Herr Iffiand.
’ “Not a bad idea; the very thing, in
fact, if the Countess Valerie and Miss
Langdon do not objeot”
• “What is to be done, and how long
Will it take?” I asked, feeling rather
alarmed, and noticipg that Valerio
turned a shade paler.
“It would be done in less than an
>our, and with very little discomfort
Seyond smearing some butter ou the
ittle girl’s front hair, aud putting long
paper tubes in her nose. Could you
stand that for a few minutes, Count-
ess?”
Valerie laughed, and said, she would
like to hare the soft warm plaster
poured over her face.
“Old Sigwart’s den is not a dozen
steps from here, and to-morrow after
noon we could make a pilgrimage there
and have it all ovur Wor© the castle
dock struck five.”
“You are quite sure it wißdo Valerie
gio harm, Tracy?”
“Not the very least.”
The next day, in profound secrecy,
of course, we went to old ITorr Sig
wart’s workship. In spite of all their
cheery speeches to the contrary, I felt
very uneasy, and wished I had not
1 '‘given lii_y being
made, but the preparations were all
completed, and I could not withdraw.
Besides, it was all for Tracy’s sake,
1 and this thought gave me more cour
j age; with the aid of the east, he could
■ work without Valerie. A man
< strangely white, like a miller, or snow
man, received us and was introduced
j as Herr Sigwart.
“Let us begin without dolay,” I
said, nervously; “we must not be out
late.”
Valerie lay down on a sofa, and we
covered her up earefully to the chin,
in a sheet. The pretty rings of hair
on her forehead were then smeared
back with butler to keep the plaster
from sticking, and a towel wrapped
closely where the line of butter
ceased.
“It has such a horrid- smell, Miss
Langdon!” was the dnly complaining
speech she made.
Her eyebrows received a like treat
ment, and to proteet her ey*s and
IfYShes, ovid bits of paper dipped in
sweet oil were laid over them, closing
them quite tight and safe. Tracy
'twisted tube# of paper a foot or more
long, which were pts| m Imhp nostrils,
and then fbe old ap
proached with Iris bosm 6$ liquid
plaster.
“ Are you ready, Valerie?”
“ Yes, alTready.”
“ Then close yonr meuth bud don’t
be frightened when you fe'cl the plaster
on your facq.”
“No, dear; givq me your band, and
then they may begin.”
A funny little object she was, lying
there rolled in a shoot like tv bolster,
with her hair slimed away out of
sight, her eyelids battened efbwn, and
her pretty nose made ridiculous with
the paper horns. She was still more
startling to look upon as Ilerr Sigwart
began to slap larg,e ladlefuls of plaster
over her face, which ran in sluggish
rivulets down to the feovkndary-line of

“How long must it stay on, Herr
Sigwart?”
“Not more than ten mlquies; then
it will be hard enough to lift’ off in one
piece, and we can let our little prisoner
free.”
Poor Valerie, of course, could not
speak, with her movrth held by a
wave of stiffening plaster, but -I ques

suffered any pain, and the Likq, which
she answered with one squeeee of my
hand for yes, and two for no.
At last, the ten minutes were up, and
Herr Sigwart came forward to lift off
the hideous plaster mound, which had
become quite hot to the touah. To my
dismay, something seemed to have

The First Keen Twinge.
As the season advances, the pains and aches
by which rheumatism makes itself known, an*
experienced after every exposure. It is not
claimed that Hood’s Sarsaparilla is a specific
for rheumatism—we doubt if there is, or can bey
such a remedy. But the thousands benefited by
Hood’s Sarsaparilla, warrant us in urging-eth
ers who suffer from rheumatism to take it before
the first keen twinge.

gone wrong; the thing would not lift
off. The past} - face of the snow-man
showed a little tinge of color, and 1
fancied he looked frightened. Tracy
gave the mask a few delicate pats and
nudges, but with no result.
“I never had any trouble with them
before; I don’t understand why this
one sticks,” said the snow-man.
“Ah, I have it! the gracious young
lady has unusually abundant hair, ami
one little bit has escaped without but
ter. Please hand me the scissors.”
With cold horror. I watched the old
man thrust a formidable pair of scis
sors down between my poor darling's
face and the clinging plaster, and be
gin sawing away as if there was noth
ing so delicate as eyee and nose-tips
within miles of him.
“There, I have cut the lock of hair
that caused all the mischief; now the
annoying mask will lift.”
But it did not lift even yet; it moved
a little, and we tried to loosen it more,
but our efforts seemed to cause Valerie
considerable pain, for she clutched my
hand sharply; and one little foot gave,
for her, a vigorous kick.
“We will try once more, and then if
it does not move, I will be obliged to
break the plaster with a hammer.”
Again the murderous scissors went
down on tlieir voyage of discovery'.
Suddenly Valerie thrnw up her arms
and seized whatever was in reach,
which happened to ba Herr Sigwart's
beard; she drew him down and with one
hand patted about over his face, till
she touched his eyebrow, which she
stroked with marked significance.
“The stuff is sticking to her eye
brow!” exclaimed Tracy.
“Is that what is the matter, Valerie?”
I asked, eagerly. One squeeze of my
hand, for yes, came in reply.
“Stupid fellow that I was to put on so
little butter!” said Herr Sigwart, beat
ing his powdery breast
Now that we knew where the diffi
culty lay, it was comparatively easy to
shift the mask sideway's and interpose
the scissors a little less at random. At
last, the hateful lump of plaster came
off, a success in regard to the print of
the features, but in what a plight it
left poor little Valerie! Her face was
crimson with fright and the great
heat, her eyes were full of tears which
could not flow ov, .ag to the patches,
and worse than all, her hair had been
clipped and saw T ed till it looked as if
gnawed by rats, and there was one
little cut on her forehead and on one
ear. I burst into tears at the sight, for
her sake and for the consequences to
myself; for my miserable deception of
the past two weeks must be confessed
when I took Valerie home.
The Countess Lilienberg happened
to be out that evening, so I put the
child to bed, and sat by her alone till
she slept. Later, I was summons
again to Valerie’s room. She was
sound asleep, and her mother stood at
hor looking down on her little
girl with a mixture
annoyance on her face.
“Who has dared to mutilate my
child in this way, Miss Langdon? I
have asked the servants, but they can
give no explanation. The Countess
was in your care, so, of course, you
know all that lias occurred.”
I commanded my voice as well as I
could, and made a partial confession.
As I expected, the Countess was very
indignant, and before leaving the
room she reproached me bitterly for
my deceit and breach of duty. The
next day I received a check for my
back salary, a month’s advance, and a
notice that my services for the Countess
Valerie von Lilienberg were no longer
required. —Rachel Carew, in Youth's

FOR THE PROMENADE.
Elegant and Charming: Street Dresses for
Midsummer Wear.
A pretty summer cashmere of a pale
bronze, slightly tinged with yellow,
has the skirt cut with kilt plaits, over
which is handsomely draped palo ecru
surah with a deep lace front gathered
up on both sides quite high and carried
back, actually meeting the bouffant
puffs. This style of drapery produces
a very fine effect in the set of the tab
lier. The basque is of the jersey style,
with postillion back and vest front,
which is of ecru-tinted velvet. A dress
of blue serge has a foot plaiting of blue
velvet, over which is a deep ruffle with
the edge turned back in wide and deep
points faced with velvet. The draping
is of the two materials. The apron is
of serge, made very full with velvet
revers and velvet plast/ons enriched
with cut jet ornaments. The basque
has a velvet vest almost covered with
jets. This mode is rich and unique in
appearance. A costume of plum-tinted
watered silk, combined with velveteen
of the same shade, has the whole
adorned with jet trimmings. An ex
ceedingly attractive drosß for morning
wear at the seaside has the kilt skirt
made of fine batiste of a lemon shade,
with embroidered garnitere, with an
azure blue surah silk sash and bows of
the same goods, disposed on the sides
and holding in pface the back drapery.
A handsome pongee suit of a pale ecru
tinge has the drapery and. vest formed
of figured pongee; bows of ribbon trim
prettily the basque and overskirt. A
neat and becoming dress of fine ging
ham has the baaejae and overskirt
trimmed with black velvet; this mode
is certainly very o&d and very showy.
Avery admirable Walking dress is of
linen lawn with clear white ground
and sraali figures in two shades, helio
trope and ashes of with green
leavr >s; this is a pretty pattern, bright
and fresh looking, and ctharmingly en
ha/.iced in effect by the dainty lace
pi.iitings and apron front; the rest is of
w hite vesting closed with fancy pearl
buttons.—A. Y. Telegram.
