IMPERFECTION.
She sat. half shaded from the glare
Of common light—a creature rare,
And finished with perfection ;
From dark crowned head to slender foot,
I looked—no mortal e'er could put
Di-ftraise in his inspection.
The angel face that men had praised
I closer scanned, with lorgnette raised,
My studying not concealing ;
She bore it with the proudest ease,
She ft It so confident to pVose,
Such beauty fine revealing.
I wondered if an inner grace
Matched oil this loveliness of face,
And nsed my innt-r eye-glass;
Its searching crystal only saw
A mind so free from rust and flaw
That—l laid down my spy-glass.
I grew to love her day by day ;
She knew it, liked it—woman’s way—
Was pleased with her new-comer ;
She saw another slave enroll
Fiis heart for her serene control,
And liked me—for a snmmer.
I wns a fool ; I sought her heart ;
The calm face did not feign nor start,
Surprise to seem to cover ;
She only said, with candid speech,
She really had not meant to teach
Me to become her lover.
I stnile to think that I have learned
(vVith lorgnette critically turned)
So little worth discerning;
For dow I see. without my glass,
One great delect—well, let it pass ;
No heart Was she worth learning ?
Au Fcliu.
Some years ago a very fine echo wns dis
covered on an Englishman’s estate He
was prood af It, ot course, an.l excited con*
side-able envy by its exhibition. A neigh
bor, who owned an adjoining estate, felt es
pecially chagrined, but was greatly encour
aged by an lrishinoD who went over the
lands with the hope of finding one elsewhere.
He declated himself successful in finding the
nn st wonderful echo ever heard, and he
stood ready to unfold his secret for a large
snm of The nobleman listened to
the echo, and, although there was some
thing peculiar about the echo, he paid his
money. An ulternoon was set for hi* friends
to come and listen to the marvelous discov
ery.
*• Hello!” cried in stentorian tones the
Hibernian who had promised to find un
echo.
“Hullo I" came back from the hillside
yonder.
“How are you ?” yelled one of the com
pany. and an echo answered, iD a suspicious
ly different key
“How are you ?”
All went well, until just before retiring
one of the company, putting his hands to his
mouth, cried :
“Will you have some whisky?”
Such a question would discover the char
acter of anv reasonable echo. It was cer
tainly too much for the one which had been
discovered on that estate. Judge of the
surprise of the party when the answer came
back in clear, affirmative tones:
“Tbank you, surr, I will, if you please ”
The poor fellow who had been stationed
at a distance to supply the place of an echo i
simply succumbed to too great a tempta
lioo.
Stringy Cabbage.
George was extravagantly fond of c-dd
cabbage, and one day, seeing quite a dishful
was left alter dimier, a'kud his wife to save
it for bis salad at night.
About midnight George came home, la
b.-rii g under a stress ol heavy weather.
Feeling hungry, and thinking of bis favor
ite cabbage, be asked where it was.
His wife replitd,“ln the pantry on the
s-cond shell.”
Down he went, found tbe cabbage, got
out tbe oil, mustard and vinegur, cut up tbe
cabbage, dressed it to bis taste and ate it
aIL
In the morning his wife noticed the plate
of cabbage wheie she bad put it the day be
fore, and turning to ber ‘Dear George’ in
nocently asked why he 00l eat the cabbage
“I did,” be Slid.
“How did you like it ?”
“Oh ! not very well; it wm tough and
stringy.”
“But here is ihe cabbage now ; where did
you find any more ?”
“Why, on tbe second shell, where you
told me.’
A quick look at the shelf by the wile and
a cry of agony.
“Why, George, you have eaten 820 worth
of lace collars and caff* that I bad put in

Sparking on a Leg.
B-* it known that there abideth in the
good city of Vatlej > n young, ed ible, hand
some, de-erving man, who has, or rather
intends to have, for his affianced an equally
handsome and amiable young ladv of this
same burg. Be it also known that this
young lady rejoices in the possession of a
brother, two years her senior—one of those
frolicsome, good for-nothing sort of scamps
that sisters most do love and idolize
Well—ihis young lady, one evening lust
week, had a sort of gathering of young
friends at her pupa’s house, at which music,
games and a general good time were the
chief features of the occasion The good
for-nothing brother, of course, assisted his
sister in doing the honors of the evening, hut
owing to a slight headache he lit a cigar
and. as was supposed, took a walk, excusing
himself from the compnny.
The festivities proceeded until about 12
o’clock, when n general breaking up occurred
The company went up stairs to get their
hats, shawl*, etc., and among thnn, of course,
was the young lover, who lingered about till
the compmy had retired below, and was
preparing to leave. As the last one descend
ed, he took his “darling’s 1 ’ hand in his and
tenderly pulled her inside of a small room
over the hall—the bed room of the goud
(or-notbing brother. Asa dilatory good
bye had to be said (and the company below
knew it, too.) oar hero and heroine sat on
the edge of the bud, in total darkness and
whispered the usual soft things that lovers
generally whisper on such occasions. They
had gone on in this style for some time, when
the “clear one” remarked :
“Harry, they must think it very strange
we stay so long. Now let’s go down stairs ”
“Ouly one more, my precious I” he respond
ed, and a series of peculiar sounds saluted
the atmosphete.
“Now, Harry, don’t 1 What will they
think down stairs?”
“Never mind what they think, dearest.
Tell me, Mollie. do you really love me?”
and he clasped, or was supposed to clasp,
her affectionately about the waist.
“Ever so much. Harry, and you know it.
Coiiie, we must go down.”
“Bime by, bime by, dear. You know
how much I love to hear you tpll me those
sweet words. Do you mean it, Mollie?”
“Whet can 1 say, Harry, to convince
you? You know all my thoughts, and you
know that you alone possess my heart.”
“Oh, sweet, delicious words, lam fairly
intoxicated with joy, Mollie, dear.”
“I believe you, mv boy ; but wbpn you
get through with that d—d nonsense, I hope
you'll get off of my leg and deaf out of thi «
room, ’cause 1 want to go to sleep /”
The btother had spoken! The veung
rascal had been iD bed for an hour, and the
lovers had actually been sitting on bis leg.
making the most desperate sort of love. The
twain precipitately descended, looking übout
os sheepish os two mortals could. The next
morning tie young lady did not appear at
the breakfast table. No one could divine
the reason but the good-for- DOtliing brother,
but be held his p-ace till dinner time, when
he broke out with—
‘‘Sis. the next time you get to sparking
your feller, just select some other man’s leg
to do it upon, if you please, tor mine isn’t
through aching yet I”
He submitted to several good-natured
thumps, but he assured i is sister that here
after, whenever “her Harry” came to see
her, he would see that his bed room was
locked. — Vallejo Chronicle.
Aaron Burr’s Adopted Daugh
ter.
We have vivid recollectioDS of a fine old
house with an air of oDeient respectability
about it, where all was sober tinted and
graceful without being gaudy, and simpl.
in tbe extreme. A conversatory of rare
and beautiful exotics often attracted our at ten
tion, for, its glass doors ajar, a delicate per
fume pervaded the whole apartments, and af
ter passing through several of these we were
accustomed to enter the boudoir ot an in
valid—a lady reclining on a couch, with
silken coverlet, snow pillows lace covered,
ami a net tastefully looped.
The lady was advanced in life, but her
dark eyes were bi ight, intelligent, and va
rying correspondent to every expression she
uttered. Her face was beautiful, after a
high type of loveliness which time canoot
obliterate. Dark hair, plainly drawn back,
■revealed a brow which spoke intellect, and
every feature barmoriiz-d, conveying a gen
eral impiession of refinement, intelligence and
goodness in rare combination. This was
Natalie Sumter, daughter ot Rear Admi
ral Delago, of tbe French navy, adopted
sister of Aaion Burr’s daughter, Mrs. Als
ton, and daughter-in-law of Gen-rat Sum
ter, one of our bravest Revolutionary corn-
manders about wh 'so valor and heroi-m it
i« expletive to speak, since his name is
written in the history of his country along
with those of Washington, Marion. Greene
and others which posterity will not let die.
The strange vicissitudes of Mrs. Sumter’s
life are romantic in the extreme. Being
the daughter of a French lady, maid of honor
to Marie Antoinette, she was separated from
her mother during the revolution which <le
thtoned the king and caused royalists to flv
precipitately. Mine, Relago, her mother,
only escaped with her life, and her infant
daughter, VI rs Sumter, was conveytd by
a faithful nurse to New York. About
the child’s person was a small chain of gold
and n monogram ; these, together with her
infant wardrobe and the known fidelity of
her nurse, established her identity.
Aaron Barr b ooming cognizant of the
facts, adopted Natalie, and educated her
along with his accomplished but i I fated
daughter, Mrs. Alston. Nitalio grew up a
most bountiful and accomplished girl, when
Mine Delugo clainnd her child, and she
was put on board a vessel bound for a
French port. C< lonel Thomas Sumter,
only child of the old “Game Cock,” General
Sumter, chanced to be a fellow passenger
with the young lady, and seemg her there
beenme her devoted ndmiier. He followed
her to Paris, obtained the consent of Mute.
Delago to their union, married her und
brought her *o his home in the South, where
ahe I ved and died beloved and honored.—

Mariau Evans,
“George Ehct” is pressing the p-erogutives
of genius too fur. For years past a good
many people hnve looked rather shyly at
her because of her eccentric personal rela
tions with the late George Henry Lowes,
but it is rule to say tliut the opinion of ev
erybody whose opinion is worth having Im*
been that those relations, if not justified, at
least were rendered pardonable by tbe very
peculiar circumstances of the case. Un
questionably, the strongest argument in fa
vor of their living together us man and wife
when they were not married was the great
love that they bore each other and the fact
that a legal marriage was impossible. Lewes
had married disastrously, but had cor
rected his error by obtaining a divorce that
left him tree to marry again. Unfortunately,
ufier going through thi* experience he once
more admitted his wife to his tied und
bourd. And so, when he met Miss Marian
Evans and they fell in love with each other,
although, in the meantime, he had been
lore- d again to put away his wife for cause, u
marriage was impossible, since he could not
be twice divorced from tbe same woman.
After due deliberation, the critic und the
novelist concluded to lie u law unto them
selves io matters conjugal: as marriage was
impossible, they would get along well as
they could without it. An-1 because their
Iriends believed that their love for each oth
er was very great, and that their sepaiution
would but make two innocent pe-pie suffer
the burden of the sins committed by the
true Mrs. Lewes, thuy were forgiven (or
their transgression of the law of the land.
When Lewes died. November 30, LB7B, the
terrible grief to which Miss Evans fell u
prey was regarded as still further proving
the strength and fullness of that intense
love which was at once tbe cause und
the justification of her lapse from social
grace. And it was considered tbe most
natural thing io tbe world that she would
announce her intention of abstaining from
all writing in the future. Even those who
had been disposed to sco an ugly and some
what spiteful caricature of George L-wes in
the “Cassanlow” of “Middleinaich” felt
that their judgment had been unjus*, and
that here really was a case of true love
that would (yj true beyond the grave. The
publication of “Theophrastus Such” did not
materially shake this belief. Everybody
who thought about tbe matter at all felt
that Id tbe very effort to deaden her grief
hard work would ae a relief and comfort.
But dow, Lewes being barely 17 months in
his grave, this widow-by-courtesy of a sad
den has ab u.dooed her weed* and bestowed
herself at last upon a genuine husband ! In
the fact o( geuius the faithful love and bit
ter grief theories wholly break down.
-Were Miss Evans a middle aged woman an
excuse might be found lot her hasty re-en
try into tbe conjugal state. But Miss Evans
is nea-ly or quite 60 years old—some au
thorities nay 61. Altogether, the case is
uot a pleasant oue for tbe heretofore en
thusiastic admirers of George Eliot to con
template. Even tbe must enthusiastic of
them must admit that the theory of intel
lectual beings rising superior to common
laws bas broken down ; that their beloved
idol bas tamed to day.— The Philadelphia

A York Orfun.”
One of the little lambs picked up in
the streets of New York was ado' ted by a
Detroit family about two months ago.
This New York lamb was 13 years old.
He said so at the depot »n his arrival, and
half an hour later he reiterated the state
ment at the house, und said : “ Vnd if you
don't believe it, then call me a liar I Ttiat’s
the sort of a spring gun I am, aud don’t
you target it!" They didn’t forget it. He
gave them no chance to. He ate with Ins
lingers, wiped his month on his sleeve, and
gave the family to understand be in re supper
was over that lie didn’t come West to have
his hair comlred or his lace washed as a
regular business On his fir-t evening he
slipped out. hail three tights and stole a dog,
and when hunted up ho wns i butt to tuke
his beer in n saloon. I’he family expected
to wrestle with tin' boy for a while and they
didn't sit down on him until it became a
painful necessity. During his first week he
stole £5 in money, a gold chain, a revolver
and a pair of ear rings, and he got drunk
twice. When reasoned with und asked to
do better he took a fresh eliew ol [dug to
bacco and replied: ‘ Oil! you Michigan
folks arc too soil ! If a feller can’t have a
good time wbut’s the use of being an or

On Monday of the second week lie sold
the family dog to a stranger, for a quarter,
threw the saw and axe into the alley, nud
when locked up in a closet he tore a Sunday
coat to pieces. It wus thought best to have
a policeman talk to him, and one was

One Gill’s Deeds.
An indulgent tip-town father recently de
termined to present b:s only daughter—a
beautiful maid of eighteen—with a couple
of practical proofs of his aflection in the
shape of two vuluablu building lots. He
had the deeds prepared an evening or two
ago; during the absence of his child at a
party, he cr< pt up to her room and laid the
valuable documents on her bureau, intending
they should prove au interesting surprise lor
the young lady in the morning. It was a
late hour when the maiden reached her room,
and, withuut turning out the gas, speedily
made h>r retiring arrangements. As she
stood belore the bureau it occurred to her
to put her hair np in papers, as an aid to
her toilet for a dinner party on the Coming
day. Her hands fell upon the d eds, and,
without ft moment's examination, she im
mediately converted them into slender strips,
and soou had her raven tiesses ornamented
with the usual spiral knobs The next
morning, wiibout removing the papers, she
wcut down to breakfast, and found her lath
er awaiting her with a peculiarly happy
smile on bis' benevolent countenance. His
face diew down, however, when his daugh
ter gave biin the usual morning sdotation,
and seated herself at the table, lie fidget
ed about lor a moment or two, and then,
with ill-concealed anxiety,inquired : '•Hern!
Laura, didu't you get your deedsl'Ue
maiden looked up in surprise, “Deeds,
taiher, what deeds?" The od gentleman
looked blank. “Why. tbe deeds l gave
you lust night, chd I.” There was an
■awful look of astonishment in the
girl's eyes. “The deeds you gave me father !
Where are they?" Ami then a sudden rec
ollection crossed her mind, and, with a
frightened movement, her hand sought her
curl papers. The old gentleman notic'd
her contusion, und instantly hiagaze struck
in the same direction—and there, twined
with his daughter’s tresses, he saw strips and
strips ot “legal cap,” with here!and there a
tell tale bit of red sealing-wax. “Tiiy
deed* I” be groaned, "thy *!"eds be on tby
bead!” The beautiful girl did not faint ;
she just hegg d her parent’s forgiveness for
her carelessness, und the old gonth'OWMr' Wit

not only forgave her, but duplicated tha

The Wicked It use.
Tbe length to which those who mend our
shiits will ullow prejudice to carry them,
even iu matters of apparently small import,
wus aptly illustrated recently iu tbe case of
a beuutilul young lady of this city, who a
year ago wns whirling madly in the vortex
of fnshi liable society, und hud apparently
no object in life except the gratification of*
the various whims and fancies which spring
octennial in the female bnast. Suddenly
she became convinced that this mode of life
was wrong, am) that the true sphere of
woman was in the domestic circlet provided
she could get one of her own ; and if is
worthy of remark thut, vvhen tin* young lady
came to this conclusion, she had already
reached the somewhat mellow age, for a girl,
of twenty-six .summers, all of which hail,
according to custom, passed lightly over her
heud, and seen no less Ilian font young men
who at different times seemed securely bound
by the soft fetters of love, glide gently but
firmly out of reach. It was alter some
refaction on this melancholy chapter of her
cuieer that the young lady arrived at thull
