fflttdclistc's Love.
MY HELEN FOBKEST CHAVES.
“Teere she goes again !” said Mr.
Cliffo.
IJe stood iu tlie elegant breakfast
room, where birds sang aiul hot house
flowers blossomed, buttoned up his
over coat, preparatory to going to his
Wall street office—a tall, handsome
man of six or seven and twenty, with
brown eyes and curly dark hair.
ho i ’ demanded Ferdinand Co
vell, who was still dawdling over
broiled birds and colfeo at the the
tablo.
“Don't you romombor my telling
you about the beautiful young girl
who passes hero every morning ? the
one with the shining hair, and the
rose-leaf complexion ?”
“It strikes me Ids recall some inco
herent ravings of yours upon the sub
ject, ’ said Mr. Coveil languidly.
“I should like to know who she is,”
said Constant, after a moment or two
of silent reflection, as he mechanically
fitted his fingers into a pair of fioecy
lined kid gloves.
Covell sat down his transparent chi
na cup, and turned round to look his
companion full in the face
“ What for in the name of all the
heathen deities ?”
“Because she is the prettiest girl I
ever saw.”
“Not euen excepting Diana Ashe?”
“Not even excepting Miss Ashe,”
Clifie answered quietly. “Diana Ashe
is simply a handsome, expressionless
piece of flesh and blood- this young
Hondo is spirituelle as well as beauti
ful.”
“Cliffo !” cried Coveil, starting from
his chair “you are in love !”
“I am not in love ! As if a man
couldn't admire a lovely object with
out being accused of the tender pas
sion !”
“But I say you are in love, never
theless,” said. Covoll. “Or you will be,
if tlie fair incognita passes your window
many more times.”
“That may be,” said Cliffo, laugh
ingly. “Como old fellow, it is time
you wero starting for the office.”
“Some sewing girl, I dare say,” said
Coveil. “If Miss Aslie knew what
was her interest, she wonld hire her
to take some other route.”
It was a very small garret room,
meanly carpeted and lighted from one
dormer window iu the roof, while the
meager handful of fire in the grate
furnished scarcely an apology for heat
on that keen, frosty February after
noon, when Madeline Warwick sat at
her table, with roses and gillillowers,
and striped carnation pinks heaped
around her—bright, scentless imita
tions of Nature's darlings ; for Made
line Warwick was a poor giil, and
made artificial flowers for her lived-
hood.
Poor but very beautiful. Tliero is
a theory of compensation iu all these
things, aud. Nature is often most gen
erous in endowing those to whom
Fortune has been coldest. Sho was
fair, with a glittering halo of golden
hair about her head, and blue eyes,
clear aud bright as a Juno heaven,
while her complexion, all 6now and
carmine, was like the roses of cream
and crimson on tho table besido. Con
stant Chile was right—there was an
intangible something about her that
was ethereal aud saint like.
As she worked busily away with
deft lingers and intent eyes, shaping
the blue velvet petals of gaunt pan
sies, the door opened and a slender lit
tle boy of some eight or ten years old
ran in, panting and pale.
“Charley !” Madeline dropped her
work in dismay. “What sends you
homo at this time of day ? Has any
thing happened ? Are you sick ?”
Charley buried liis fuco on his sis
ters shoulder.
“I aint sick, Maddy; but —but —
Mr. Cliffo lias turned me away!”
“What for?” asked Madeline, sooth
ingly. “For no fault ot yours, my
boy, surely ?”
“He—he says X have stolen his
gold pen, and 1 never, never, never
to«ched it!”
And hero Charley burst into tho
sobs and tears he had hitherto so man
fully roppressed.
“Charley,” said Madeline, looking
earnestly in the face, “you have never
told mo a lio. I do not think you
took his gold pon. There never was
a Warwick yet who was a thief.”
“I never touched it, Maddy,” per
sisted the boy. “You have always
taught mo not even to tako a pin that
wasn’t my own !”
“There, dear ! don’t cry so hard !’’
soothed Madeline, brushing away his
tears with her coarse little poeket
handkerchef. “It is not your fault.”
“But, Maddy, I was so proud of
earning the dollar-and.a-half a week,”
sobbed” poor little Charley, “and I
thought you wouldn’t have to work so
hard, and —”
“Charley,” said Madeline, rising to
her feet, “bathe your eyes and cool j
your faeo in water, and then put on
your hat again !” _ j
“What for ?” questioned the child, |
eagerly.
“Because I am going with you to
your employer's office. I shall tell
him that you have never deceived me, I
or done a dishonorable thing durii.g |
your whole life, and I do not think
you are begining to b editferent now. i
I cannot have my good little brother
rest an imputation like this. We aro
poor, Charley, but we are honorable !”
Charley slipped his red little lingers
obediently into Madeline’s hand.
Dearly as ho lovod his sister, he was
a little afraid of her, when her eyes
glittered so, and sho assumod what
Bic good landlady called “her grand
tragic airs!”
“Shall wo go Maddy?” ho asked.
“Yes at once ?
Mr. Clrffe was sitting in tho big
leather-cushioned office chair, when
Ferdinand Covell came in as usual, iu
a breathless hurry.
“Charlie—Charlio—whore is that
little elf?” he demanded irritably.
“I havo discharged him,” said
Cliffo, cooly biting off tho end of a
fresh cigar.
“Discharged Charley? And what
for ? I rather like the spirito,”
“So did I, until lay gold pen disap
peared.”
“Yon don’t say so,” cried Covoll.
“Why, I should hate boon willing to
stake a pretty considerable amount tip
on Charley’s honesty—but one never
can toll, now-a-days, whom to trust in.
Where are those Brownlow will pa
pers.
As he pulled out a deck to get a bet
ter purchase at tho avalancho of pa
pers which seemed to have descended
upon it, something which had got
caught between tho wall and the
desk-molding fell with a clink to tho
floor.
“What’s that?” criod Ferdinand
Covoll.
lie stooped as ho spoke, and piekod
up a heavy gold pen and pencil-case.
‘‘Hallo !” ejaculated Chile, looking
rather conscience-strikon.
(( Tlie duso, exclaimed Covoll. “Now
I knew there was nothing of the light
lingered nature about our Charley.
Old follow, you’ve made a mistake foi
once in your life. Send for Charley at
once— let’s make Lhe amende honorable.”
So I tvould, responded Mr. Cliffe,
if I knew whore on earth to send.
“Don’t you know where ho livos ?”
“I haven’t the least idea.”
“Then there’s nothing for it but to
submit to tho foieo of circumstances,
for although ”
He stoopped—for that instant the
door opened, and little Charley him
self walked in, holding tight to the
hand of a tall young lady with blue
eyes and glittering goldo hair. Chile
rose instinctively, with a bow, for he
recognized the lovely goddess of his
daily worship.
“Excuse my intrusion, sir,” said
his new-comer, “for it has become
my duty to speak in my little brother’s
behalf. I am Madeline Warwick ”
“I beg your pardon, Miss Wor
wick,” interposed Constant Cliffe, col
oring and looking rather awkward,
but your brother needs no defense.
The missing pon—missing, I am com
pelled to state, through my own awk
wardness —is found. I apologise
heartily to Charley, and shall bo glad
to have him back hero again, if he
will come.”
“Os course I'll come, sir,” said -
Charley, brightening up; “but please,
please don’t ever believe again that
I could bo so base as to steal!”
“There’s no danger, my boy,” said
Covell, kindly.
And Madeline, blushing and happy
took her leave.
That same evening Mr. Cliffe, who
had ascertained his sister’s addres from
little Charley, called, of course, only
to ask Madeline’s opinion of the prob
riety of raising the boy’s wages some
what—and lie called again the next
week to soo w hat Madeline thought
about Charloy’s joining an evening
class in French—and tlie third time
he quito forgot to allege any excuse.
And alter that none seemed to be
nocessary save tho mutual satislaction
they took in each other’s companion
ship.
“Maddy 1” whispered little Charley
to his sister. Some months after the
episode of the missing gold pen, what
do you suppose the other office boy,
and Jones tho clerk, were saying to
day?”
“What, Charley?”
“That Mr. Cliffe was going to bo
married to you. Oil, Maddy is it
true ?”
And Madeline burst into tears on
Charley’s shoulder.
“Yes, Charley, it is true !” elm fal
tered, “and I am the happiest girl in
all the world !”
For Madeline Warwick was about
to make what the world calls “a grand
match,” but constant Clili'o had soeur
a more precious treasure than gold
or pearls—the prize of a true woman’s
truo heart.

Tho following, if not new, is at least
truo, and is worthy of attention at this
particular time, when so many “of ein”
aro rushing incontinently into the ho
ly bonds of matiimoney, to bo lost to
us forovor.
“This little fablo,” said my uncle,
“may perhaps boos service to some
poor devil, ‘move willing than wiso.’”
A young man oneo married a lady
whoso reputation fer amiability of dis
position was seriously questioned, if
not in reality seriously questionable.
At the wedding everything went off
merrily, of course ; tho party gay, the
supper magnificient—the whole affair
had been eminently successful, aud ail
parties extromoly delighted.
On retireing to liis apartment, the
gentleman found himself annoyed by
the mewing and purring of a cat.
“What in tho devil’s name is that!”
ho exclaimed.
“qli, nothing, my dear,” replied tho
bride, “but my favorite cat Pussita.”
“Oh, d—n Pussita—l hate eats !”
and with this he unceremoniously tlfro iv
Pussita out of tho second story wind
ow.
“Well, if you haven’t got a tem
per !”
Yos, my dear, you’d hotter believe
it.”
“Everything,” con iinued my uncle,
“went on well in that establishment—
even to a warm dinner on Sunday.”
Now it so liapponed that the friend
of tho above mentioned gentlemen,
who had sonio months before “commit
ted the error” of marrying an angel,
took occasion to inquire of him :
“How is it, that with j'ou everj’-
thing goes merry as a marriage bell,
while 1, on tho contrary, have almost
given up the idea of wearing tho pan
taloons at all.”
“He related to him tho story win
dow,” said my uncle, “without fully
•impressing on his mind the important
moral that it was necessary to begin
right. Nevertheless, there was that in
his eve when he started for homo ‘that
told of reason/’
“Well!” said his wife, “you’ve como
homo at last have you, after
mo sitting up for you. And what’s tho
matter—you havn’t been drinking,
have you ? You look very strange.”
“Not in the least, my love—but 1
hate cats, my love.”
“You do, do you ? well I liko orn—
that’s all tho difference.”
Hereupon the uafortunauj husband
.-made n dash at poor Tabby, who was
quietly snoozing.
What are you going to do, mons
ter.
“Throw hor out of tho window.”
“You’d better try it; I’d like to seo
you do it; I’d break every bone in
your body ; why don’t you throw her
out ? I dare you to do it sir,”
Ho put the cat soft y down on tho
sofa—hung his hat on lviß peg in tho
hall—his manliness and his patitaloi ns
on an easy chair, and said :
“Go in, ducky, darling, and win ; I
didn’t begin right.”
“I rather think you didn’t—you'd
better take a fresh start—but don’t
try that game again, or you’ll catch
it. Come to bed,” and he went.
“Wrong from the beginning,’’ said
my uncle. “Oh, dear me,”
Indian Incfiiruf,
Years ago when the copper-faced
natives had just mingled lung enough
with the whites to eunf'usa their ideas
of property, when Judge Johnson
held Jiis court on tho bank of tho Mo
hawk, Big John, a prince of tlie roy
al family ot Kinnikinnick, was ar
raigned, tried and convictod of the
larceny of fire-water. According to
tho laws in operation at that remote
period, Big John was sentenced to pay
a fine of fivo dollars, which was duly
forked over. Whereupon the aborig
inal culprit was at liberty to go. John
gathered his blanket upon him, ap
proached tho Judge, demanding a re
ceipt for his five dollars.
“Thcro’u no occasion for a recoipt,
John,” said tho Judge, “you’ll never
bo called upon to pay it again.”
“IJgh ! big Indian steal whiskey
—pay —want um receipt.”
“Wo don’t givo receipts here,
John.”
But tho son of tho forest was not
to bo cheated, lie bored tho clerk,
sheriff and every one connected with
tho Court, until tho Judge concluded

There is more good feeling and so
ciability, and less of that despicable l
am-bettor-Jhan-thou fueling, among
men than among women.
Educated to believe it is a disgrace
for him to boa drone in tho great bu
sy world, a man early starts out to
make his fortune, deeming any honost.
employment honorable to which ho
is Lost adapted. And tho harder he
labors the greater are his rewards in
tho plaudits of his friends and the re
spect and confidence of tlm community.
Constant employment keeps his
mind healthful, and contact with men
enlarges his views of life. Thus an
industrious, ambitious man is con
stantly improving and progressing in
proportion to his duties and responsi
bilities.
Men must work or be looked down
upon. V. ith brain or hand they must
acheivo something, or be nobodies.
But unfortunately tho samo rule is not
generally deemed necessary for women,
in proportion as they aro indifferent to
all uselul employment, and ignorant
of all practicable ideas, spending their
lives in dreamy thoughtlessness, ©xcep
ting their own adornment and the ca
pacity for very “small talk” -aro they
oonsideiod fascinating and lovely.
Consequently while men are stirring
around, learning something now every
day, women aro listlossly lulling about
the house doing nothing of conse
quence, il their husbands or fathers
cun afford to support them in idleness
If a woman is obligod to support
herself it is called her misfortune, no
matter how groat her talents and ca
pabilities, when in reality it is a bless
ing if her energies are called into ac
tion and hor mind occupied usefully.
For occupation keeps a thousand
miseries out of tho mind. The less
time any one has to think of thom
solves, anil to communicate troubles
and vexations, tho happier they are.
And not until a wornau tests her abili
ty to sustain herself by honest effort,
can who feel in hor heart the true spir
it of independent individuality, which
develops tho best qualitios of bor
mind.
No ono can be happy unless they
fool that they are ofuso in tho world.
Each person, man or woman, should
have cares and duties devolving upon
them ; and in proportion to tho im
portance of these duties, and the labor
required iu their performance, should
each bo rewarded alike in tho respect
and confidence of tho Lest society.
Thu spirit of the ago is gradually
cruching tho false ideus which have
so long cramped the resources of wo
man, and forced her to look to mar
raigo for her only deliverance from
want and poverty, if sho would retain
a position in refined society.
However, society only tolerate men
who labor, and not until it demands of
its favorites work, uselullest, and tho
accomplishment of something w hich I
wiil benefit tho world, will woman
comnronco the development of horj
greatest capabilities.— Elm Orlou. |

Eye-Sigltt.
Milton’s blindness was tho result of
overwork and dyspepsia. One of the
most eminent American divines has
lor some time been compelled to fore
go tho pleasure of reading, has spent
thousands of dollars in vain, and lost
years of time in consequence of getting
up a few hours before day and study
ing by artificial light. Multitudes of
men and women have made their eyes
weak for life by the too free uso of
eye-sight in reading fine print and do
ing fine sowing.
In view of these things, it is well to
observe the following rules in the use
of tho eyes:
Avoid sudden changes between light
and darkness.
Never begin to road, or write, or
sew, for several minutes after coming
from darkness to o*bright light.
Never road by twilight, or moon
light, or of a cloudy day.
Never read or 6ow directly in front
of tho light, or window, or door.
It is butter to havo the light fall
from abovo, obliquely over tho loft
shoulder.
Never sleep so that on tho first
awakening the eyes shall open on the
light of a window.
Do not uso tho eye-sight so scant
that it requires an effort to diseriiui
nato
Too much light creates a glaro, and
pains and confuses the sight. Tho
moment you aro sonsiblo of an effort
to distinguish, that moment cease, and
talk or walk or ride.
As tho sky is blue and the oartli
groen, it would soem that tho ceiling
should boos a bluish tinge, aud tho
walls of a mellow tint.
Tho moment you ure instinctively
prompted to rub tho eyos, that mo
ment stop using them.
If tho eyelids aro glued together on
waking up, do not forcibly open them,
hut apply the saliva with the finger ;
it is the speediest dilutent in the
world. Then wash tho eyos and face
in’warm water. Hull's oounuil of

Mixed Schools. Tho following
which meets our approval is taken from
the annual report of tho Board of Pub
lic Schools, in St Louis, just published.
It has beon found that schools kept
exclusively for girls and boys require a
much more strict surveillanco on tho
part of teachers. Tho girls confined
by themselves develop tho sexual ten
sion much earlier their indignation
boing the reigning faculty and not
bridlod by intercourse with Society in
its normal form. So it is with boys on
tho othor hand. Daily associations in
tho class room prevent this tension and
supplies its place by indifference Each
sex testing its strength with other on
an intellecual plane iu tho presence of
tho teacher —each one seeing * tho
weakness and strength of the other
loams to esteem what is essential to
its true value. Sudden likes and dis
like, capricious fancies and romantio
ideas give way for 6obor judgements
not easily deceived by mero externals.

This is the basis of that, “quiet seif
poscssion” before alluded to, and it
forms tho most striking marks of
indifference between the girls or boys
educated in mixed schools and those
educated iu schools exclusively for ono
sex. That tho sexual tension de
veloped as late as possible, and that
all early love affairs be avoided is tho
desideratum, and experience has shown
that association of tho sexos on the
planes of intellecual contest is the safe
est course to secure this end.
