A MEMORY.
At noonday iu live crowded street
I walked, with absent mind sod far—
Coootipg-aught, til! sudd niy
A lace flushed by me like a star.
A moment seen— then swift the throng
Cl<>acd jealously about its prize,
And all the memory left to aw
Was this—she bad bine eyes.
A woman’s eye? 1 yon say. Not so.
They were too shy, Too fntt of spring ;
Aod in their timid depths I saw
A girl soul’s April blossoming.
I missed the face, but what of that ?
i saw the face’s dearer part;
Aod still, though lost to me, 1 k-ep
Their color in my heart.
Fouud.
She looked up at him half lovingly, half
angrily, and then said with a sigh :
’•Oh, Fraok, if you were only not such a
blundering, awkward fellow J”
“I perfectly agree with you, Bessie, and
second the wish, still as you have accepted
me for better or for worse, you must be re
signed to the inevitable.”
' But you may outgrow it ; you don’t
mean to tell tnc that there is no hope?”
“I am afraid so, Bees; Irom my boyhood
it has been ‘ever thus.’ I never dropped a
piece of bread and butter but that it fell on
the buttered side, aod I know that if I should
fall on my back I would surely break my
nose; so bear with me patiently, dear.”
“A plensant prospect 1 have before me,
surely; and, Frank, I do realty think that
yon might improve, if you would only try,
for my sake,” and again she sighed.
She was a bright, pretty little woman, the
only daughter of old Dr Langdon, and mo
therless from her infancy. She had met
Frank Howard at his sister’s house, who had
been a echoolmute of her own, aod now
married. He was a young lawyer with a
future yet to make. They had known each
other for mere than a year,and the acquaint
ance hau ripened into love, and fond vows
were exchanged, notwithstanding the re
monstrances of his sister, who feared Dr.
Langdon might blame her for her share in
bringing them together, more especially as
her brother had no wealth to offer, aDd Dr.
Langdon was a very wealthy man. Still
she was not heeded ■; the lovers met fre
quently, trusting to Cupid and fortune to
bring all things right. They were now
walking alowsy through the Ramble, and
Bessie’s pretty features were partially hidden
beneath a thick blue veil, which Frank
threatened to remove every moment.
‘•You look like sd Egyptian mummy
swathed in those yards of blue stuff.”
‘•Another blunder. Why couldn’t yon
hate said that I looked like a veiled eastern
beauty, instead of a withered old mummy ?
Ob, Frank, you have so many virtues—now,
don’t interrupt me. You have graduated
with high honors ; you are studious and am
bitious; they say you have shrewd sense and
keen judgment. You are honorable, gener
ous, courteous; in a word, you are almost
perfect, and then, besides, you love me so
well.”
“Ah, Bessie, dearest, bow unspeakably
devo—”
“Yes, I know ; you needn’t try to tell
me.”
“Without you—”
“Yes, I know; life would be a desert.
All this, I know, but I also koow that your
helplessness and utter want of tact will gel
me into trouble, and ruin my very best
plans,”
“But your quick wit ean always find a
way out.”
“Yes, but how long? My stock of ex
cuses is almost exhausted, and my irweotwe
genius isvanisbiug.”
“Oh, Bess, you koow yoar resources are
inexhaustible.”
“I btg your pardon, sir. You are mis
taken. My frieuds have all been invalids a
sufficient Dumber of times. Four times I
have been to the .dentist’s. Five times I
have spent 'the afternoon at your sister's, and
papa said the other evening that be thought
tbe visiting was all on one side; and
to-day, this is Ure seveutb birthday visit this
year that I bave paid my old music teacher.
If it wasn’t for papa’s forgetfulness of trifles,
I should certainly be found out. Oh, Frank,
I’m afraid you’ll Dever make a good lawyer ;
see bow they have to plat, and deceive, and
tell stories, aod you really are not equal to
tbe most simple plot.; I have to contrive
everything, and that, too, at the risk of hav
ing everything upset by yoar awkwardness.
If I tell you to meet meat the right entranoe
of tbe park, you take the left, and so much
time is lost UDtil we find each other. Then
if I say four o’clock, you come at five.”
“That only happened once, when I could
not get away from tbe office.”
Hampton, Georgia, Friday, july u, 1879.
“That was a (light excuse; but lis’en.
How precisely I told you the oiber day, that
if the shade in my room was down at eight
o'clock, I would be able to meet you the
next day at Nellie’s, but if it should be op,
that I would not come.”
••Certainly, that I understood.”
“Yes; but what did yoh do? All you
bad to do was to pass the bouse at eight,
glance up at itty window, and go on. In
stead of that, you awful fellow, what did
you do hot come at abt o'clock,”
“My impatience, dear!”
“That’s very fine. If yon had even walked
up and down; but.no You stationed your
self opposite my window like a sentinel, and
looked up so pointedly, that any of (hi
neighbors must have noticed it, if they were
at the windows. I saw you from the sitting
room where I was reading to papa, and my
heart thumped with fear. At Inst I ran up
to my room and wuved my handkerchief for
you to go away. Unhappy idea! It is
scarcely to be believed, but you smiled and
nodded so confidentially to me, that I could
have shaken you to pieces, I was so vexed.
Then I wuved my hand imperiously that you
should go away, and a« you at last started I
drew a long breath, when to my horror you
deliberately took off your hat, smiling
vweetly 1”
“It's too bad in you, Bessie, to b° (6 hard
Ofl' a fellow.”
“Oh, my dear, I haven’t yet finished. You
shall hear more of your blundeis. To con
tinue : You lied gone. I was calm ; ate
my dinner, and found out Irom papa that he
was going to Brooklyn in the afternoon;
then ran to my room and sat by the window
until five minutes before eight, hoping to
catch a glimpse of you ; you know the gas
lamp is opposite. Then pulled down my
shade and went down to papa, with the
peaceful conviction that all was nicely ar
ranged tor ilie afternoon. Now, sir, what
happened ? Some one had blundered, for
the next afternoon I was at your sister’s;
but where were you ?”
“But 1 understood your ‘imperious wave’
to mean that yea ens!d not come, and so I
staid at the office aod read Imrd, thinking of
you alt the time, while you and Nellie were
probably abusing me.”
“It’s too bad, Frank, but we cannot go
on in this way. You must go into society,
meet me somewhere, and call on papa.”
‘•Society ? Igo in your fashionable so
ciety ? Impossible; I tremble on the thres
hold of a stiange parlor. Not a chair, table
or any article of bric-a-brac would be safe
in my vicinity, and think how mortified you
would be to see the cups and saucers of your
friends in ruins. No, my child, you must
think of some other plan.”
“Then you must call on papa.”
“You forget that you yourself told me
that he euid you should not marry before
you were twenty-five, and that he would
have no long engagements, and as you won’t
he twenty-one in six months, I should re
ceive my dismissal und yen would forget me
before your next birthday. Be patient; io
a year or two I shall be in a position to ask
bravely tor my little girl if she is willing to
wait for me.”
“I will always wait for you, Fraok. That
is Dot it, but I want papa to know you and
like yon. He is a little gruff, 1 must admit,
to young gent'emen, but I know that he
wonld like you. Haven’t you any acquaint
ance who knows papa, some steady old law
yer. Be careful or you’ll stumble aver that
stone.”
“Thanks, but I saw tie stone. The Bteady
old lawyer I don’t see.”
“Come with your sister.”
“She will not bring me.”
A silence.
‘Oh, Frank, i have it, I have it,” aod aha
grasped her own arm excitedly. “How pro
vokiog that I should have left it home.
Never mind, I’ll send it to you to-morrow.”
‘‘What is it ? What do you mean V'
“Listen,'” and she whispered something in
ibis ear. “Do you comprehend ?”
“Fally.”
“ Ard will you play your role with au in
nocent face?”
“I promise you i will.”
“Between Union Square and Thirtieth
street.”
'•You live?”
“Oh, Frank, how stnpid. There it was
lost. Ob, if yon blonder this time, I’ll never
forgive you. To-morrow between four aod
five. I will send it to yon.”
'•All right, I’ll make no mistake this
lime.”
Soon after the lovers parted.
The next morning Bessie kissed her papa
with a very long face.
“Now wbafs the matter ? Are you cross
because breakfast is a little earlier this
morning ?”
“Oh, no, papa; only I’m afraid to tell
o —tv— KVI.V A -■"■J.'A,. ram, )
“Out with it, child. Have yon set the
cwrtains on fire, or whut 7”
“No, sir; but you’ll scold when I tell you
that I’ve lost my Roman bracelet."
“Wimf, that expensive thing that you
bothered me about lust Christmas?”
“Yes, pupa.”
“Where did you lose it ?’’ •
“Between Union Square and Thirtieth
street . You know where my old teacher
lives ?’’
sorry, for you won’t get an
other in a hurry. You mu9t be more care
ful.”
“Oh, papa, you will advertise, won’t you ?
Some honest person may have found it,”
“Small Chance. Honest people are not
over plenty in New York. But I will try,”
The next morning’s Herald contained the
advertisement, and io the afternoon Mr.
Frank Ileward’s card, lawyer, No. —, Nas
sau street, was banded to the doctor in his
office, and Frank entered with a slight air
of embarrassment.’’
“Good-day, sir,” said the doctor.
“Good-day, Dr Langdoo. I have been
so fortunate as to find a bracelet.”
“Ah, yes, the bracelet; that is fortunate.
My daughter will be delighted.”
Stepping to the door be called Bessie,
who was, as can be imagined, not very far
distant.
“Mr. Howard, my daughter. is gen
tleman has found your bracelet, Bessie.”
“Ob, how delightful,” she said, clapping
her hands, and making a demure bow to
Frank. “I am impatient to see it.”
Frank plunged his hand into one pocket ;
it was not there ; into soother, aod another,
but it was io none.
“Oh, I have left it in my hat,” he said,
and rushed into the hall.
“Just like him,” thought Bessie,
“A queer fellow,” suid her father.
He came in with a package. “Here it
is,” said be, nnd banded it to the doctor, who
opeoed the paper.
Who can describe the consternation of
Bessie, the astonishment of the doctor, and
The oesperation of Frank, when the doctor
took from the paper Bessie’s Russia leather
case marked with her name !
“Your case?” said the doctor, looking
sharply at Bessie, -“how do you explain
this mystery, sir ?”
Before Frunk could reply, Bessie threw
herself in her father’s arms, and between
sobs aod laughter told him the whole story,
and ended by sayiDg, “But, papa, did you
ever hear of such a blundering individual ? J
The sequel oue can foresee. The doctor
forbade any more secret meetings, but al
lowed Frank to visit the house, and in a
year’s time consented to the marriage, os
tbe condition that Bessie should not leave
him, to which they both gladly agreed.
“We’ll be married at home, Frank,” said
she, “for I Dever would risk taking yon to
churcb. You would stumble up the aisle,
nnd respond ‘no’ when you were asked if you
took ‘this woman tube your wedded wife,’
aDd I should die of shame."
“Have mercy, thou woman full of guile,
and be sure that I never would make that
blunder. Only do let the service be short,
please, knowing my impatience to call you
my own little wife. After all, innocence and
honesty have their own reward, for while
you did not lose your bracelet, I have won a
jewel worth ali the world, and, darling, you
will at least admit that in laying you I have
not been a blunderer.”
Printers and Printing. —Many who
condescend to illuminate this dark world
.with the fire of their genius through the
columos of a newspaper little think of kbe
lot of the printer, who sits up at midnight
to correct their false grammar and orthog
raphy and worse puncloation. We have
seen the arguments of lawyers, in high re
pute as soholars, sent to the printer in th eir
own handwriting, many words—especially
technical and foreign terms —abbreviated,
words misspelled and few or no points, aod
these few, if any, certainly in the wrong
places We have seen tbe sermons of emi
nent “divines” sent to the press without
points or capitals to designate tbe divisions
of tbe sentences; also tbe letters of tbe po
litical and scientific correspondents. Suppose
all these bad been so printed—tbe printer
would bave beeD treated with scorn and con
tempt. No one would have believed that
such gross and palpahle faults were owing
to the ignorance or carelessness of tbe au
tbor ; aod do one but tbe practical printer
knows bow many hours tbe compositor, and
after him the proof-reader, is compelled to
spend in reducing to readable couditiou

would be puzzled to read.

A Wash Day Sketch.
If there is any one thing more than an
other calculated to make a wrong impression
on tbe mind of the unsophisticated man. it
is the picture of a woman using a patent
washing machine. Tbe picture represents'a
woman dressed in silk, trimmed with lace,
having fall train, bustle and elbow sleeves
cut on the bins. There she stands, a sweet
sffllle illuminating her countenance. Her
hair is banged and frizzed in the most ap
proved fashion, and perhaps a jaunty lace
cap surmounts her wealth of golden, red,
brown, black or yellow hair, as the case may
be. or the imagination portray. One hand
grasps the machine lightly and the other is
at liberty to arrange her hair or train. The
clothes are in the tub—the other clothes—
and are apparently being washed without
the slightest effort on the part of the woman.
The wall is covered with the latest and most
approved style of paper, with dado to match,
aod is huog with numerous pictures The
floor is covered with body Brussels carpet
and several children in Sunday go-to-meet
ing clothes are playing about, just as though
no washing were being done. All i* as
serene and as clean and tidy as the salesroom
of a millinery shop. Not even the faintest
curi of steam arises from the tub. It is a
very pretty picture, and perhaps the unso
phisticated young man may think that it
correctly represents the manner in which the
average washing is done. But it is a delu
sion and a snare. Tbe artist who drew it
must boye depended on his imagination
wholly. He should have been a married
man and should have sketched the picture
from life. He should have gone to dinner
some Monday nnd foand the woman of the
house op to her elbows in the washtub.
Look at her : Her hair is wadded up in a
little ball on the northwest side of her hend
and several locks straggle down in several
directions. She is clad in a dingy old calico
dress, and a pair of uarpet slippers which
are not mates. The scene is located in tbe
back woodshed or “summer kitchen,” so
called. The thermometer stands at ninety
in the shade und in the wash-room it is
ninety and nine. The woman's fuce, in color,
resembles a boiled lobster. The perspiration
drips off her chin, and her fingers, wli «h are
parboiled, remind you of dried apples,
bleached. Two of the children are making
pancakes in their hats act of water and ,coel
ashes. The third one has got stuck under
the back gate in an effort to cruwl through.
Just at that moment a small dog begins
making faces at him, and the youngster,
unable to wiggle one way or the other, sets
op a yell which would put to blush a (Jom
manche Indian. At tbe same instant one
of the pancake makers slaps a batful of
“batter" on the head of bis sister, aod run
ning to escape the maternal slipper, which
he conjectures will he forthcoming, fulls
headforemost into a tub of suds. The last
mentioned youngsters tune up and swell the
chorus for the soloist under tbe gate. But
we drop tbe curtain witfc simply the remark
tbid at this juncture the sketcher of washing
machine pictures should get his work in.
A wood-cut of this scene from ewery-day
life would take the romance all out of tbe
popular pictures of washing machines. —

Ttie Shu in the Desert.
Alexander W, Kingslake in bis book
“Kolhan” gives the following poetic descrip
tion of the scorchiug effect of the sun upon
the Oriental desert:
“As long as yon are journeying in the in
terior of tbe desert you have no particular
point to make for as your resting-place.
The endless sands yield nothing but small
stunted shrubs—even these fail after the first
two or three days, and from that time you
pass over broad plains—you passover newly
reared bills —you pass through valleys that
tbe storm of the last week dug, and tbe bills
and the valleys are sand, sand, sand, still
sand and only sand, and sand, and sand
again. Tbe earth is so samely, that your
eyes turn toward heaven—toward heuven, I
mean, in tbe sense of sky. Yoa look to the
sun, for be is your task-master, and by him
you know the measure of the work you have
done, aod tbe measure of tbe wonk that re
mains for you to do; he comes when yon
.strike yoar teot io the early morning, «nd
then, for tbe first boor of tbe day, as you
move forward an your camel, he stands at
tbe near side, and makes you know tb&t the
whole day’s toil is before you ;* then for a
while, and a long while, you see him oo
more, for you are veiled and shrouded, and
dare not look upon thegreatness of bis glory,
but you koow where be strides overhead by
tbe touch of bis flaming sword. No word*
are spoken, but your Arabs moan aod your
camels sigh, your akin glows, your shoulders
ache, aod for sights you see tbe pattern and
the glare of the outer light. Time labors oo
—your skin glows and your shou'ders ache,
your Atabg moan, your camelsstfcb.and yotf
see the same pattern in the silk and tho
same glare of light beyond ; but cooquei lag
time marches off, and by-and-by the de
scending sun has compassed tho heaven, anrf
now soltly touches your right arm. throws
your lank shadow over tbe sand, right along
on the way for Persia ; then again yon look
upon his face, for Ins power is nil veiled in
bis beauty, aod the redtxaa of Samos has be
come the iedness of roses; the fair, wavy
cloud that fled in the morning now comes to
his sighs once more—come* blnshing, yet
still comes on—comes burning with blushes,'’
yet hastens, and dfingif to bis side.
Francis Joseph in Hungary.
Perth, May 3d—The Emperor and Em
press, accompanied by the Archduchess Gis
ele und Prince "Ludwig in Baiern,” the Em
press's brother, arrived hare this afternoon
io spend a wei k in this quarter during the
races. It bad been intimated that no official
reception was desired ; indeed, the day and
hoar of tbe arrival only became known at
noon. Yet, moved by one impnlse, the pop.
ulation went out to welcome their King and
Queen wilh a warmth and enthq-iasm eqcb
as even tiere have been rarely witnessed".
There was, there could be, no preparation,
no consulting, no arrangement. By a sort
of freemasonry, however, at half-past 5,
every ooe was ready for the reception. High
and low, official and non-official, all the in
habitants, had ringed themselves in lines eg
tending from the railway station to tbe
royal palace in Buda. The national tri
color waved on houses and balconies. Every
one ransacked bis house, haogieg oat fes
tively into the street whatever he hud of best
in the shape of shawls, flags or flowers, till
not a window or balcony appeared without
its adornment. All along the line figured a
holiday crowd. With tbe exceptiou of the
few who on such occasions are there in tbeit
official capacity—the Miaieters aod towq
authorities—every one bad come out io tbe
state iu which be happened to beat the time
—the woikman as he had left bis shop,
Except for a few mounted gendarmes to di
rect tbe passage of the carriages, there was
no policeman or soldier. The crowd kept
good order. On tbe platform and ia the
Imperial apartments of the railway station
there was no disturbance. Every oue seemed
to have access who desired it, being present
at tbe arrival, and contumipg all along the
passage through the town, across tbe sus
pension bridge, and up the hill to tbe palace.
All was joy and enthusiasm. Unrestrained!
by considerations of etiquette, every one bqs
seemed but to follow the impulse of his heart
und to give vent to his abundant loyalty,
Running by the side of the carriages, tbe
crowd cheered and waved hats and caps,
Her Majesty and the Archduchess Gisele
were in a close carriage, but bis Majesty,
with Prince Ludwig, rode in an open one,
Some of the more staid people made an at
tempt to prevent the crowd pressing too
close; but his Majesty himself beckoned to
them not to interfere. Every one seemed to
consider their majesties as his own, claiming
.the right of expressing to them the joy and
satisfaction he himself personally felt at tbeir
arrival, and there could be no doubt that the
tender of affection was cordially accepted.
Equally spontaneous with the reception was
the illumination at night, which, blazing
oat at first here and there, soon became uni

Ta« Future Queen ov Hpaw.—Tha
Archduchess Marie Christine Desiree Hen
riette Felicite Beniere of Austria, whom ru
mor mentions as likely to be the second:
Queen of Allonso Sfll. of Spain, is the only
daughter of the Archduke Charles
ruyid of Austria, (who died the ?oth of No

Archduchess Elizabeth, the widow of Arch
duke Ferdinand Charles Yictor of Modena.
Sl»e was born on the 21st of July, 1858, and

ance does not seem to have been, seriously
entertained at Madrid until the condition of
the lolanta Marie .Christine had; been pro

point of view it joust be considered a far
more suitable match fc* the King than one
with his deceased wife’s sister. The Aus

the King, wherefas the Due de Montpensier’s
second daughter was more than .five years
his senior, having been born on the 29th of
