"The Train Cannot Wait." Slio in jn t 18, with guidon lniir nnd grey eyis large grey eyes that lungh jud as well usher red lips; her figure, though a little frail, makes 0110 think wliut a pretty woman olio will ho Boon. Hi'i' hands mid ii nns uru those of n child is sliu not still a child ? Chuii left school lint a fortnight ago. 81m is tho beloved und only hiiip:btor of n ricli miller in tho neighborhood of 'Avcuucs. Nothing in inoro pootiesl than a mill iu tho country. It does not disturb the silence of tho ir with its monoto nous tie-tnc; on the contrary itH noise, strong nud regnlur, is like nu iiccom paiiimctit to the iiiiiny other noises of tho wind, nnd of th- trees, nnd of the bird p. Cliirn was charmed with it nil. During u few days ufter her iirrivnl the whole homo was upset, m iking ntul receiving calls, dmii'r parties, dancing partic, lawn tennis:, the days were not long enough to hold their pleasures. Then all was quiet at th i null. In the orchard, which wn-i large, the walks were spread our with siiud, nnd the trees, loaded with fruit, af forded a b aiiliful Hlutdy grove. This was Clara's favorite nook ; hero she would go and rend poetry. She hud been given the works of Limarliiic, bountifully bound. Now, tjamiirtiue is very tender pod, mid I'lnru wi n btlll ill her teen", mid this wis siini lner, and the fragiuuci of lh. Mowers mid the mnrni'ir of Hi i bv-zinotol on her young mind; nnd through thit book rho would di e nil of things she had neter dreamed of b-'foro. Ouo day her mother asked her if Bhe remembered her cousin Albert. "Oh, yep, indeed," said she. This answer cumo from her heart ; she blushed mid from her neck to her brow she felt that sort of electricity that is produced by a little shuino mid a great pleasure. "Well," wild her mother, "'you will Bee him very soon." .Clara was about to say, "Oh, how glad I am I" but she thought it more proper to say nothing. And why was she silent? I will tell you. It was because she had rend Lamartinc. Why ! does poetry make one false? Well, I don't know, but it speaks of love and what is love? "Well," said Clura, "I have not secu him for two years. I suppose he is changed I" "Not more than yon," said her mother, casting a loving glance of admiration to her daughter; "you were a little girl when you went away you lire a young lady now." Clara ran on" to hur beloved grove to hide the blushes on her cheeks nnd the beatings of her heart. She sat down, drew from her pocket her vol ume of poetry, but lead not a line. Albei t arrived n few days before he was expected, but she was thinking of hi in. Shu always had roses on her cheeks, but these roses change 1 into peonies when she saw him nnd her hands trembled. He took hold of those bunds nnd kissed her ou both cheeks. Ho was a medical htmb-tit who had not yet in hit brain the b ast thought of anything serious; he had suddenly discovered in himself a vocation for tho beautiful science of 'Eictilupius, that he might go to Paris, to spend a low years of his life and watt? a few thousand of his father's francs 'Ah! little cousin," said he, "you are pretty uow. Why, I nui afraid 1 lliall fall in love with you." She 1 mked ut him, nut knowing ahut to say. 'Have you forgotten tho good umos wo hid iu this garden, and over there iu the wood.: " "Oh, no," said she. "A:id when we would go lowini l.ld I would scire yon by swing u t. d fro in the boot ! caps z i y. u?" "C'l, no, 1 remember It all." "Then why don't Mm nl your arms ill nil I my luck mil siv picasaiil till ;;p to me ii- .mil did then?" '.' iou'l know." she tall' r. il.

I think it sltl pi 1" then seeing that she was some what abashed, ho added i "Why does it displease you that I should not care for Laniartiue?" "Because I love his poems." "Well, if I read poetry I want Alfred do Mussel. I shall send you his works v, hcu I get to Paris." At this moment they heard a quick and linn step ou the sandy walk, and a young man came upon them. "Excuse me, mademoiselle," snid he, "1 have just learned that Albei t is In re, and I have como to shake hand . " An old saying ciuiio 1 1 Clara's mind : "Two i. company ; throe is a crowd." Shu was too well behaved to say it, so she left the two young m"n together. When alone who reflected that Al bert was a very nice cousin, and might make a very good husband J us for his friend well, he was a very good look ing in in, and might bn a very nice fellow but w hat a difference between the two. "Your c oi in is a ch inning girl, sail) Jack. "Oh yes, but bIio is only a school gi.l." "Well, what else can slio be? She is just out of school mid not a woman yet. bn ymi know what were my thoughts us I looked at you both?" 'How can I know?" "1 was thiukiu; that yiv.l wonl I make 11 pretty couple." "Now, Jack, what harm have I ever done that yuii should want to chain inu down?" "Are you not 25?" "Js that old age?" "Wnii! I you giv.j nn old mail to your cousin, who will bo only l'J ncxl Vi lli ?" "In two years she will bj 2 J Unit w ill b better still. Then I w ill bo a serious man and 1111 M. I. Clara is 11 good nialcli ; our fortunes are about eijual. I think I might make a living iu this country. Well, who knows what may happen one day? I havu plenty of time to think of it." "I think your c 111-in deserves bet ter t fi 11 11 that, and you ouy,ht to be in love with her," "What! Love as first sight 1 I do think Clara is pretty, but plenty of time plenty of time!" Everybody Rojinod happy at the mill ; even Clara, who listened with pleasure to the compliments of her cousin whenever he chanced to be with her, and she thought him so witty that slio quite forgot to show her own wit before him. I n the meantime she was hoping that ho would propose b -fore going to Paris, but the last day dawned, nnd he had not said the least word ub int. marriage. She hoped till the last hour; till the last minute. Albert gave kisses all around nnd said to her. "I will come back next year. I will write to you and send Mussct's works.as I promised. " She plucko 1 up courage and said to him : "Is that all you want to promise Albert?" He understood what she meant, but would not prom's ) more and as his eyes rested on the clock ho said: "lioodby, cousin ; tho train is here it cannot wait." The life of a stu lent, especially that of a student who iloe-t no', study, is jint us tiiesome as any other. There comes a tune when ho gets tired of dissipation. Albeit was in one of his dirk days; since morning he had felt cross and would not even sin ik ; his pipe lav ou his table with a pile of books nnd dusty papers. His tobacco pouch re minded biiu of Clara alio had em broidered it for him during tho week lie had spout with her. Th :i he wa also reminded that ho had promise I to wi.tr and send Mulct's works; ho felt badly at these thou lits, nnd re morse made him go out to repair hia forget fill nes. There is a knock at tho door; the servant brings up a letter to him; it is from his mother. His drowsine-s gives way as he iv uds the lines ; he gets up iu a pas sion, ii a -ttiug the table slid every thing upon it. Clara is to be mnriied, and iu a Meek, too; nnil ha is expected to al ien I ih.' wed ling. "An I whom ib iM she many, I won der'.'" evobunis he, ".mine cnnnio 11 country U I, 1 .iippogo. No, it can not be I I inn-d go there 1 nd -dop it ; she cannot bo sacrificed iu thia way 1" Two hours later he started with a valise in one hand nnd a bundle under ouo arm. It was Musset's works. Clara met him at the garden gntoj she was looking ns fresh as tho flow ers, and he, being conceited, thought that the happiness on her fnco was duo to his presence. Sho was Icsh timid than lust year, and a little stoutcr.ono could rend her heart through her grey eyes ami her smiles. "Is what I hear true, Clara?" "Certainly, I wns about to write to you. I want you hero for the wed ding." "it is impossible 1" 'Quite possible and true." "With whom?" "With Jack, of course." "Ah, tho scoundrel ! Thero is noth ing like a f 1 it'ti I lo betray one." "Why, Albert, what a short mem ory you have. Poor Jack would not speak of love before he was quite sure of your feelings toward mo. 1 am very thankful that you set him at lib el ty to speak. I am so proud and happy at being loved by such a noble heart. Albeit threw his bundle on tho table. "What is that?" asked Clara. "Musset's works. Iliad promised them to you." "You me too late, coiisiu. Jack gave them to mo long ago, ns I was complaining of your forgetfuliiess. " "Tell me.Clura this is all a dream is it not? You are not going to marry Jack? " She laughed. "And why not? "she said. "BiK-ansc I love you; liociusi if you menu to marry Jack I start by the first train, and you shall never s .0 me again." She looked at the cloc'.t, as ho had iloim tho veur before, and said arch ly : "Then hurry up, cousin, for the train is here, and it cannot wait." New Orleans Tini'S-Democrat.

Ou opening it she found a fmo tab by cut, with a letter tied to her tail. It ran thus. "Madam: In answer to your adver tisement, 1 nin happy to furnish you with a verp useful companion, which you will find exactly suited to your nquireuii nts.

The Simians Are Well Organized for Plunder or Defence. Evidonco of the astonishing sngncity jtiy military organization of tho Afri can baboons increases with tho re !ent exploration of their favorite jianntB, due to the troubles in Central Africa nnd Abyssiuin, The English, fterinin and Ito.liau traveler.! and iiiiisaiirins who hav;j been employed In various missions oil the fringes of tho Abyssinian plateau have corro borated many stories vhicli hive hithei to beeu suspected to bo exag gerations of fact. It now nppiars that their method and discipline are far in advance of thos'i oT any other ver tebrate animals, mid not inferior to those of some of the native tribes themselves. The d.lVerent species of bnboons, which are found commonly over the whole Africau continent, are all by nature dwellers in the open country. They II ud their fool ou til) ground, and, whether this be ins :ets or vege tables, it is usually iu place which all'jrd little shelter or protect 011. Though strong uud well armed with teeth, they are slow auiniils, with lit tle of tho usual monkey agility when on tho ground, nud not particularly active even when climbing among rocks. In the rocky "kopje" of the South or tho cliffs and river sides of Abyssiuin, mid the Nilo tributaries, they ure safe enough. But they often abandon thes'j to invade the low coun try. Wheu ou expeditions of this kind they often leave their stronghold for days together, and the means of joint defence from enemies in the open country are then carefully organized. Their natural enemies when thus ex posed are the leopard, the. lion, mid, iu South Africi, the dpi) wild dogs. To the attack of the leopard they op pose numbers mi I discipliu". No en counter between the baboons aud wild dogs Iiim b -imi witnessed aud described, but their defensive operations against domestic ited dogs were seen and re corded by the (ieruiau naturalist, Urehm. Tho following account ap pears iu the translation of his travels by Mrs. Thompson, just published: Tho baboons were on il it ground, crossing a valley, when the traveler's dogs, Arab greyhound accustomed to light suciessfully with hyenas nud other beasts of prey, rushed toward the baboons. Only the females took to (light; tho males, ou tho coutrary, turned to face the dogs 6r'jW',-','i ucut tho ground with their bands, opened, their mouths wide aud showed their glittering teeth, and looked at their adversaries so furiously aud malicious ly that the hounds usually bold and battle-hardened shrank back." By the time the dogs wero encouraged to renew tho attack, tho whole herd had made their way, ovcrcd by tho rearguard, to tho rocks, except a six mouths old monkey, which was left behind. The little moukoy sat on a low rock, surrounded by the dogs, but was rescued by an old baboon, who stepped down from tho clilf near, advanced toward t'10 dogs, kept them iu check by gestures and menacing sounds, picked up tho baby monkey aftd carried it to tho clilf, where the dense crowd of monkeys, shouting their battle-cry, wero watch ing his heroism. Tlio march of the baboons is not a inero expedition of the predatory members of the com munity. The whole nation "trcck" together, nnd inako war on tho culti vated ground in common. Their com munities are numerous enough to reproduce in miniature tho move ments of troops. Tim tribe often numbers from 2oU to '100 individuals. Of these the females ami young are placed in tho centre when ou the march, while tho old males march in front and close the rear. Other males scout upon tho flanks. It has been noticed that thoso remain on guard, and do not feed during tho whole time that tho rest are gathering provender. If disturbed by men, tho old mules form n rear guard aud retire without any haste, allowing tho females aud young to go on ahead carrying the plunder. Their retreat is, us a rule, deliberate and orderly, tho baboons being quito ready to do battle with any annual except man 011 tho plain--, and instantly becoming tho assailant of man himself when they got the ad vantage of position. Brehni was (toned out of u pass iu a few minutes by the dog-faced b.iboous. "These M'lf-reliant animals," he writes, "ure a match even for men. While the sereaniiiig females with young ones tied with all haste over the crest of the rock beyond the raugo of our guns, tho adult male, casting furious glances beating tho ground with their hands, sprang upon stoues and ledges.lookmi down ou tlio valley for a few mo moots, continually growling, stini'luif nnd screaming, and then b'gan to ro'.i down atones 011 its with so much vigcr nnd adroitness, that wo immediately saw that our livoi were in danger nnt took to flight.

TO COLON FOOD. How to color things without poison ing the guests is something of a puz zle to the ambitious housewife who wiiuts to raiso her feint ubivo tho common-place. The cleverest hostess is the one who gives 11 ".shaded" diu northo menu and decorations shaded, say from pal s pink to dark red.

For the red diuut-r the mayon naise is colored with a tablespoon! ul or two of currant jelly or a little carmine- Tho sweetbread may bo smothered iu a pureo of red haricots. Beets, cut iu small die ', may bo used to garnish another dish. Cherry sauce is suitable for the lamb. Straw berry jam lends a willing hand iu the color scheme, aud aspic jelly, ns be fore mentioned, colored cither red or pink, serves many a purpose. Cream for tho meringues must bo colored red with the carmine, nud tho cases for the ices must bo red red crepe paper, perhaps shaped like a rose. Apricot coloring und saffron will tint anything yellow, and damson biue which can bo bought at tho shop with a little carmine, will make mauve. Lemon jelly and ice cream ire easily tinted mauve or yellow. Chopped green aspic is the very back bone of a green dinner. Color tho aqiic with a few drops of spinach juice or apple green. Chopped parsley is ulso au invaluable aid, aud green pop per cases and the handles of dishes tied with grceu ribbons do the rest.
