“And do yon reject my proposal?”
asked a young man who sat on a safo in
an elaborately furnished apartment,
eagerly gazing into the face of a bean-
f ulyoung 'girl, whose eyes were pensively
fixed on some subject before her.
For some minuter, there was a si

Ebr a moment he did not speak, only
pressed more passionately the soft,

that I love yon ttSj.ray Irte, Belle; dear?
What is there before me? Ouly a life

Author ceased pleading, for he saw
he could make no impression on lug
cold heart, and walking to the hat rack
iu thfl.. hall, prepared for departure
Belle followed him to the door, and in
the glow of the bright moon’s rays saw
him sadly depart.
Belle watched him, as he slowly and
with bowed head re:raced his footsteps
homeward uloug the lonely village road,
until distance hid him from view.
“Will he ever return, and am I not
cinel in sending him away?” sUqsolilo
quized, as she stood iu the door look
ing in the direction whence he had
gone.
Years passed by,and numerous changes
befell the quiet village of Irvington on
the banks of the Hudson river. Ar
thur, by the death of of his. father, ex-
Judge Stanley, had fallen liiir to
considerable property, situated in
Hastings, : a neighboring 'village, and
had taken up his abode there, and was
now engaged in the extensive practice
of the law which his father had left
him.
‘Twas one day while.quietly seated in
his office, preparing a lengthy argu
ment involving a question of ownership
to an extensive estate, when his office-
boy announced a gentleman and daugh
ter, Parker by name.
“Show him. in, Teddy,” whicli was
the familliar title of the office-boy.
Ana iu walked a gray-haired old gentle
man. His troubled expression and
downcast look made it apparent that
something was destroying his happi
ness.
Author arose to greet him, and bade
him be seated.
In a tremulous voice the old gentle
man acquainted Mm with his-grievance;
he said he had come In behalf of his
daughter, who bad, a few years ago,
married a man whose wealth led him. to
dissipation and intemperate habits, and
who.made her home a misery to her,
and she now sought a separation from
? him.
“Perhaps you had better beacihe
story from her own lips,” interrupted*
the old man ^and. calling iu hia daugh
ter, who had been seated in the outer
office,he introduced han aa Mas. Thomp-
: od, nee Belle Parker:.
\ Author bade her- Be seated, and!
Fare; Superior to any'btljer House. she begun to relate her story, which
»e 67 rtfli f>pp Daw ! was 6im l )] y marriage^ without
H'l ■ ^^iiove. After she bad finished-a-slight
c " ; color was perceptible in Author’s cheeks;
j the reference she had made to her once*
“peaceful home iu ...Irvington* and the
many poor young men of the village
who had sought her hand and heart,
caused the sweet memories of eight
years ago to rush to his brain, and al
most persuaded him to reveal his iden
tity,
"Does she not recognize me,” he
thought, How could she fail to recall
her old lovor, whom she had so cruelly
discared jnst eight years ago? Perhaps
his trip to Europe and the cultivation
of a beard had altered him somewhat.
Authur promised to give the mattar
careful consideration, and instrnctdd
them to call again in a few days to
swear add sign a few preliminary pa
pers, which they promised to do. Tak
ing the old gentleman’s hand, he
dangler led him to the carriage that
*vas iu waiting at the door, and they
quickly drove away.
After they had gone, Author fell into
a deep reverie, and it was sometime be
fore he could recover himself. He
gradually forgot the incident and re
sumed his study.
A few days afterward, the rumbling
of carriage wheels was heard rolling
along the village road, and a car
riage halted in thelfrbht of his door.
He recognized at once the occupant,
who was fortunately alone, and prepar
ed to receive her.
“You are punctual to your promise,
Mrs. Thompson,” said Authur, as be
arose from his seat at his deBk and of
fered bis band to greet her.
She answered pleasantly, and seated
herstlf. After explaining (ho law of
the case, and obtaining her signature
to a few legal documents, Authiir’s con”
versation gradually drifted off to the
other subjects, and finally-reached the
village of Irvington.
Pardon me, out you have a recollec
tion, Mrs. Thompson,of a bright moon
light evening about eight or nine years
ago,, when you slid farewell to a young
roan who had been paying attention to
you?”
“Why do yon ask that question, Mr.
Stanley ?”.she said inquisitively. “My
recollection scarcely extepds so. Jay.
back, and siuce my marriage I .have
scarcely had time to lliiuk of anything
but- nn unhappiness.” '
Opening,:: small drawer in,,liisndesk,
Aithur drew forth a delicate note,
which had been preserved with the
greatest care, mid handed it to her, and
8t the same time asked hei\if she recog
nized the writing.
In a moment her face flushed, and,
t.ikiug a more caretul look at Arthur,
she rtcog nixed in, him her discarded
lover.
"Ah! Mrs. Thompson, I See it recalls
to your meruory.au incident which time
and passing events had almost obliter
ated; you still remember your answer
Mrs, Thompson flow resides with lier
aged father, whose life is fast declining,
in the quiet village oflrvingtou, a wiser
and better woman. Authur remains a
bachelor, wedded alone to his prefessiou,
through the falsity of this woman; and
although he receives an occasional
friendly visit from her, he never in con
versation refers to the past, bravely sub-,
mitting to his fate of “Loved and
Lost.”
Social Differences,
Although men are undoubtedly horn
free and ccpiali, social differences will
and must exist to the end of the chap
ter, He who accepts a subordinate po
sition is under order—every body must
“give account”- to some higher power
than himself. That employee, howev
er, who by consistent, uniform, unvary
ing devotion to his work, shows that he
respects himself, that he is not an eye-
servant, that he makes his interest one
with his employer, in time so wins that
employer’s confidence that relations be
tween the two become easy and perma
nent, But the two need not become
bosom friends and associate together
on terms of perfect equality.
The ignorant are apt to think that in
telligent people who do not specially
court their favor are proud and “stuck
up.” The poor fancy that because they
are poor the rich look down on them.
The obscure Ihink that famous people
are proud and exclusive because they
ire famous.
That this is a fallacious reasoning, a
moment’s reflection will show. The ig
norant. and the wise have but little in
common, and therefore they cannot .en
joy each other’s society to any great ex
tent. The ignorant would become more
weary in trying to understand the wise
than the wise would become in trying
to bring themselves clown to the level of
the ignorant. The .strain on the poor
man who tries to keep up with the rich
man is far greater for the poor man
than for the rich. In a few words, it is
very hard to match essentials in equali
ty, and very foolish to attempt' it.
Why the laws are Uncertain.
Language is an impatient instrument
for the expression of ideas. Noia.fevt
of its forms tire ambiguous; tlnft is,
they speak iu two ways. Readers and
hearers arc left in old Isaac’s perplexity.
The voice is that of Jacob, the hand is
that of Esan.

Those who draft statutes know how
difficult it is to frame a law which shail
be free from ambiguous expressions or
ELORIDA ORANGES,
equivocal terms. Judge Story once told
to my request.for your heart and hand. I a personal incident which illustrates the
the result of which was dooming me to difficulty.
the solitary abodes of study iu order to
shut your image out of my heart.”
“Yes, Mr. Stanley, I see my folly
now,” she said, wipingjtwny...the tears
that were fast filling hei large blue eyes.
“My pride and girlish fickleness would
net qllo iv me to see it then; but their re
ward has come. I married a man who
was very, wealthy, and against my fa
ther’s wish; his wealth led him to dis
sipation, and instead of. making,, my-
home happy, he made if very unhappy.”
“Siuce that memorable night. Belle,
I have not, forgotten you; yon were the
means of my ever remaining a single
man, though many have crossed my
pathway, some perhaps more beautiful
than you, in other’s judgment, yeti
could see no worth nor happiness in
them; your eyes haunted me wherever I
went.”
“Forgive me!” she said. “I did not
not think your love for ma-.,- was so
strong.”
She covered her face with her bandh
and wept as though her heart would
break.
“Then yon. acknowledge Belle—par
don me for calling yon Belle—that you
discarded me because I was a poor stu
dent, and you thought that, no happi
ness abided in poverty?/”
“I did,” she said; “but I regret my
action.”
Further conversation was interrupted
by the entrance of the office-boy, an
nouncing a gentleman on very impor
tant business. Authur bade her good
bye, and she entered! her carriage.

He was employed by congress to
draft an act. So important was it that
ho spent six montbs-La.tryiug to perfect
i*s phraseology. His purpose was to
make the statute so clear that the most
astute lawyer should not be able to oast
the shadow of a doubt upon its mean-
The draft, proving satisfactory to the
la vyers in congress, became a law. In
less than a year a suit, involving the in
terpretation of this very iaw came be
fore the court over which Justice Story
presided. Haying heard the arguments
of the able attorneys, the Judge confess
ed that he wasnnable to decide upon the
meanings of a statute which he him-
selfhad framed.
He; of course, knew what he h id in
tended to put to law, but the criticisms
of the two lawyers showed Mm that he
had used such ambiguous expressions
that it, was doubtful, if he: had said what
he meant to have said.
Months passed, and winter’s chilly air
appeared, and sent to slumber the blos
somed flowers. The next term of- the
connty court was to be convened on
Monday, and Mrs. Thompson’s case was
second on the calender for trial In
the meantime, Anthnr engaged himself
by collecting the evidence and securing
the necessary witnesses.
The day of the trial arrived, and An
ther gained his case.
The following day, Mrs. Thompson
called:' upon Anthnr to thank and* re
pay him for his services.

Experiments in a deep lake near Ber;
lin have shown the practicability of a
new and genions plan, for raising
sunken vessels and other, heavy objects
lost in the water. The invention is
that of an Austrian engineer, and con
sisting of an, uninfLited balloon, con
taining a bottle of sulphuric acid pack
ed in salt, which,, when exposed to the
action of the aoid, generates carbonic
acid gas. The balloon is taken under
the water by a diver and fastened to the
object; that is to be raised. Then a
screw is tnrued wftich liberates the ac
id, gas is formed, the balloon expands
and rises, and it is only a question of
the size of the ballon, the strength of
■the iackle, and the weight of the sunk
en object, whether it shall be raised or
not. The experiments near Berlin were
successful. .
France and Geimany are stiff running
a race on the military question. The
French have improved so rapidly under
the Republic that Bismarck has become
alarmed, and lias-taken measures- to'in
crease the German army by. 23COOO men.
A corresponding increase in the Ftench
army may be expected as soon as the
opportunity offers. Meanwhile the

Philgfielpliiii North American.
A Philadelphia tonrist having recent
ly published the opinion, that the ornuge-
cnltnrp. in Florida wa£being ovesdone,
a. subsequeni, more careful observer' h as
gone over the same ground, and ridi
cules the idea. Of course the profita
bleness of the trade depends altogether
upon the extent to which the’ stock can
be marketed in the great and populous
sfc ites of the t ortheru Atlantic sea
board, where the demeotic oranges have
to compete against enormous importa
tions from the West Indies atid Medi
terranean. Hence the orange culture
in Florida stands upon much the same
basis as the sugar culture in Lonisnna
and the rice crop of South Carolina. It
may fairly be said that the remarkable
enterprise displayed by the import
trade in foreign orange dates from the
successful establishment of the orange
culture oh a large scale in Florida.
Since thelatlerhas gone ahead with
characteristic American enterprise, the
importers of foreign orauges have been
stimulated to use-lines of steamships
instead of sailing yessels, and to sell
their cargoes at; auction iu order to>
market them as speedily as possible,
and to resort to extensive trade organi
zations for the purpose of developin
an increasing demand for oranges in all
the cities and towns of the north and
west accessible by railway. Under the
impulse thus given by powerful capital
and mercantile energy, the trade in or
anges has increased to an extent alto'
gether unprecedented. It is in this
situation that the idea is presented of
the Florida orange culture being over
done, We are truly gratified to find
that tho cultivators themselves ary un
der no such impression. Their market
is an unlimited one so long as they can
supply the fruit at low prices. Wbe|
they cease to do that, the sooner they
dimmish their crops tlie better it will
bo for themselves and the public.
It was for a time regarded as an even
question whether Florida or California
should supply the domestic demand for
oranges in the Atlantic States; but
Florida lias completely distanced,Cali
fornia. Tlie Florida orange crop is a
regularly large and profitable one, the
cultivation lias become permanent and
the quality of the fruit itself is consid
ered excellent. With the characteristic
pertinacity of the Southern people, the
movement for the cultivation of tropical
fruits iu Floride lias gone almost exclu
sively into this one crop, from which
practical devotioD has arisen tho re
markable success, while in California
the movement whicli should have been
concentrated upon oranges has gone al
so init'o grapes, the manufacture of rai
sins, the cultivation of figs and olives
and other crops. We do not apprehend
that the foreign importation of oranges
into the North. Atlantic-ports can be in
any possible degree reduced by the rap
id increase of the orange crop in Flori
da, for the producers of that State are
able to find increasing markets in all
the cities and towns of the Southern
and Southwestern interior to an extent
sufficient to warrant an unlimited ex
pansion.,^ the crop and an increased
investment-, of capital in the business.
In fact, the capacity of Florida for pro
ducing tropical‘fenits and crops gener
ally has been so little understood as to
warrant any effort to develop its resour
ces that m'ay be possible under the new
conditions of American growth and
prosperity. The surest prospect for
profit on the Florida orange crop will
be found, in the connection of the trade
with transit by railway to all parts of
the ftmntry, in preference to the diffi
cult navigation by the sea routes. This
is requisite in order to-market the fruit
with the-least possible delay, which ne
cessity has led to the use of steamships
for the importation of foieign oranges.
The fresher the fruit may be the better,
of course, must be its flavor. Hence
we insist that the more largely the pro
duction and marketing of the Florida
oranges may be, the better must bo the
market for the foreign oranges, and the
more extensive the measures for insur
ing the arrival of the fruit m a fresh con
dition by means of rapid' transit. In
other words, the larger the domestic pro
duct, the better must be the quality of
the imported art ieles.
TAR ON THE ROOF-
A Boston man, so says a paper pub-
liseecT in that city, had the flht roof of
the L of his honse tarred the otherjday,
and when six or seven eats got on to it,
the following night, they conld yell and
arch their backs and try to get a pull
omall four feet at once, but they could
not lift themselves free, and their sigh
ing, was frightful, and 1 people in tlie-
neighborhood began to chnck things at
them, and the owner of the bonSe forgot
abont the tar, and went brefoot in bis
robe de'ilidl upon tbs roof to chase them
off; and* pretty soon lie found that- he
couldn’t stir, aud began to whoop and
swear, and a policeman got a ladder
and climbed on the roof, and when he
came tip over the edge on Ms. hands and
knees ho had to- remain- hr ihatjposture,
and he used very emphatic langnage.
Meantime the bootjacks were falling
in a. shower abont and around them,
and the man’s mother.-in-law, in looking
out of an upper window that overlook
ed theL roof, to ask them if they were
not ashamed of themselves to be out on
a roof- playing cat at that time of night,
knocked her wig off and it fell m the
tar, and she inshed down a flight of
stairs and out or the roof to get it and
couldn’t pull the wig tip, bnt got her
hand stuck to it, so she couldn’t let go
of it, nnd of course her position and
her bald head made a dead give-away,
as it was quite light, when some one fi
nally came with boards for them to b
got > on to when they were cut loose
from the tar, and the old lady didn’t
feel a bit worse than the policeman, who
had to walk through the streets the
knees of his trousers cat out and left
on the roof and. a great hunk of tar
stuck to each hand, and got a repri
mand when he reached the station
And the house owner himself, blistered
his feet trymg to melt the tar off of
them by holding, them up to a hot
stove, and when the cats were cot loose
from the roof and put on the ground:
they tried to gnaw the for from their
claws and got their paws stuck iu their
mouths and rolled abou- and yawled
and carried on so that folks thought
they were mad and- killed them.
And that householder's n:o lier-in-law
hasn’t yet got over jawing. Lim abouti
that tar roof.
Of all professions in the .world there

There used to be a member of con
gress from Vermont named Poland, who
liked his glasses of whisky. He went
ont to Maine one campaign to take the
stamp, and the liquor prohibition there
made it fashionable for stamp orators
to drink milk when speaking. They
used to have the milk in mngs on th.e
stand, but some of Judge Poland’s
friends knew, wbafehe liked and pnt fwp
mugs of whisky on the foble. Fiom
his seat he supposed the mngs contain
ed milk, and he didn.’t particularly no
tice them when he began to speak until:
he felt thirsty. Then h e picked, op. one-
of tine mngs and: drained 7 it dry with a
delighted expression, and as he sefcit
down gave the whole thing away by ex
claiming, ‘,Ys gods, what a cowl”
Newman Smyth in his late work on
‘ 'Old Faith in New Light,” thus forci
bly- presents the idea that Christian
faith should never hesitate to welcome
new light:. “Onr spiritual life can suf
