Oh, if I wet only; aruan!" Kathleen was crossing a muddy tatch in the road as she arrived at this wish and making a quick spring What Time to the dry side of the road, turned her ankle with a sickening pain and fell prostrate upon the grassy bank. ; " Oh, dear, Maud is right, after all," she moaned in despair, half comical and yet painful withal. " Two miles from the village or home, on a by lane very few frequent, and unable to move with a sprained ankle." And after eumming up her position, Kathleen first laughed then cried. " Poor oldL granny !" she sobbed. 8he will think I have deserted her, and she is poor and ill, with no one to care for her but me, and now I cannot go to her.' "Perhaps I oan help you," said a pleasant voice from the bank : above her. . ' Looking up quickry, Kathleen met a pair of frank, brown eyes, that looked sensible enough to help her in her foolish predicament. , " I don't know " she began dubi ouly. i j "Well, there's nothing like trying," laughed the man on the bank, and down he r-ame with a flying leap to Ler nide. : "What is it? Broke any thing, eh?" Kathleen had to laugh, he was so pleawant and breezy. S i "Ob, no; only' twisted an ankle," she r-aid, slyly. 1 "Only! Hum -hi You are used to making lieht of great matters, I see." And to Kathleen's horror down he dropped on his knee?,' and coolly took pwstssion of her foot. "So much for wearing low shoes," he said, half angrily, as he looked at the a-itive little foot, clad in an Oxford tie, and then deftly untied it and drew it cff. Kathleen grew indignant and red. "You need not trouble yourself" hhe began. ' i . Be still! I am a doctor, young lady, aud know what sprains moan," he coolly retorted, moving the foot so gently, though her lip- tjuivend with the pain. ' A doctor! Kathleen looked full at him in-astonishment. Not the new dctor, surely. "You are going to spoil two engage ments for me this evening, with this foot, young lady, bo you must repay me with obedience. I i j "At one place, music, laughter and bright smiles await me, to welcome me to my new home ; at the olher, a poor old woman is waiting to thank me for looking up my poor, the first thing after I take possession of my practice." His frank eyes met the conscious gray ones looking so eagerly at him. "You speak of my home and my poor oiu woman sue cnea out gladly. "Oh, I am s rejoiced you are good for something!" He laughed heartily. " vVhich you doubted. And t?o you were going to see the old woman whec this happened? Then you are " "Kathleen Severn," said the girl. 'Doctor Oscar Ware, at your serv ice," retorted the cheery voice as its owner dotted nia nat. "iow, miss Kathleen, know all about you, for Granny Duff is garrulous, aud as jou are used to obedience I expect you to mind me now. My horse is at the blacksmith's across the field, where I left him to be shod, while I came over here to gather wild roses fur a sick lad in the villiage, and while I go for him you mut sit still and wait for me. ". Kathleen started. Would he drive her home? " Oh, but you must, not ! " she pro fited, in terror. ."Very well, then. I'll leave you acting in the mud, awaiting a deliv erer ihor a to your, taste, " said the doc tor, -olly ; rising from his knees. Kats'een felt her eyes droop with tain. ( "Thank you!" she said, gently with a sadness in her voice that made him look at her. "I will accept your help since I must. " "Ouly became you must? " " "I am used to helping mjstlf, but at last I am usehs. " I atti glad to te the first to offVr you help in your weakness, " eaid the frank voice, gently ; and thtn away he sped acio.ss the fleid, leaving Kathleen dazed with sudden ideas and emotions, yet laughing low aud shyly. In a thort while the doctor appeared on the road, driving a liuht wagon be hind a t-trong brown horse,1 which he drew up before the mud-puddle, atid sprang down lightly beside the young girl. He rai-ted her by her band on to one foot ; she put the other down carefully, winced, turned pale, and before she knew what next would happen, she was caught up in a strong pair of arms and lifted high above the mud into the wagon. "There, " said the cheery voice, as the self-reliaut young man took the reins. "Your foot is all right, ML-s Kathleen. It is only strained a little; and by day after to narrow you may try another jump. " , : Kathleen listened shjly; she' was feeling emotions so new and strange that silecc eeenied to protect her from herself, atid throughout thedrit e; ho'aie fheeculd only listen and rejoice -at the brave nature of the new doctor. Once only she spke, to ask him to drive in the back way and through the barnyard so that her entrance might not be seen from the house. Then as he left her ?t tlie door, and gave her a little glass bottle, with the directions to apply it to her foot uatil the pain ceased, 8he raised her eyes, and said : " T am glad yo have c me here, Doctor Ware. So many sad htuit- need you. " ; ; i "' " But not brave ones like, yours?" he said sharply. "Even I, " she softly said, as she turned away. Kathleen grew more cheerful as the days went on, for her earnest, helpful nature rejoiced that there was another to care for and assist the poor and sad- hearted in the villiage. A great $ride grew in her as she heard her cousins conJemn the new doctor as too democratic and hard working to suit their idle tastes , and her eyes and lips grew brighter each day as some new tale of his kindness came to her through village gossip. They met but seldom, and then only a few words were uttered; bat Kath'een felt the need of even those ew words and knew they helped her. One day a letter came. She was not surprised, it seemed to her as if the time must come when his nature would claim hers, and she was trem ulous with proud joy He spoke of their firt meeting: 'Of that t a k were enamoured my fingers I ween, For they lingered full long o'er these fetters of sheen." '"She fcmlled me my thanks, and turned from thspot, With a look in her eyes I never forgot.

It was during the troublous times in Poland, when many of the chief no bles of that unhappy land were look ing to see their beloved country once more free and independent. The Rus sian empsror called it an insurrection, and proposed to punish the leaders thereof with death. Upon the head of a certain Polish nobleman a price was set. The emperor was very anxious to gain him into his power, and hav ing been informed that the noble man's wife had been heard to 'declare that she had hidden her husband, he ordered her to be brought before him: Accordingly sh was apprehended and ushered into the imperial presence. The emperor was forcibly struck by the lady's surpain beauty, and her queenly bearing. Having been asked her name and station, she was asked if she had said that she had hidden her husband. She answered in the affirmative. She was then asked where she had hidden him. But she shook her head ; she would not tell, whereupon the emperor in formed her that if she w.uld not con fess otherwise, he&hoaid put her to the torture. Upon that, fhe looked up into the monarch's face, and sail to him with outstretched hands: Sire, I have hidden away my hus band. If I tell you where he is hid den will you Bpare me ? " I will. " . ' . "You will keep your word, even though you do not find him?'' . "if you tell me truly where you iiave hidden him jes I swear it.1' ' : Then, " she said, laying hoth her hands . ver her throbbing: bosom "know j I have hidden him in my h art ! " We may suppose that the emperor kept his word ; for he was not without a heart of his own, which could re spond, on occasion, to a noble and gsn eroua sentiment. - Selected Humor. , 'A boy in a country school was read ing the following sentence: ? The lighthouse is a landmark by day and a beacon by night," and he rendered it thus : " The lighthouse is a landlord by day and a deacon by night." Teacher : " Did I not; tell you to be prepared with your history lesson? And here you are, unable to repeat a word of it." Scholar : " I didn't think it was neces&ary, sir; I've al ways heard that history repeat itself." . " Now Susan, my boots. Do huiry with them. I am sure I have called for them a dozen times."

Texas Sift inf8. I A prominent lumberman in Bur lington has had his !eoat-of-arms painted on the panels of his carriage, with the Latin motto "Vidi." Which by interpretation is "I saw." Not surprising : " The; fact is," re marked Fenderson, " I am the brains of the firm." "No wonder, then,'! said Fogg, " that the firm is familiar with the Insolvency Court." Measuring by the Eye. A correspondent of the Boston Tran script suggests that children should be exercise-d in measuring by the eye. He says 11 :tt years ago, when he went to scho 1 in a little weather-beaten echool-house, the scholars had most exciting contests over the teacher's favorite exercise of having them esti mate with the eye the size and weight of different objects in the room, i He would hold up his cane and have each scholar tell how long he thought it was, and it was a lucky child that could come within half a foot of the right length. He would measure an 'urchin and then have the scholars try to repro duce the measure on the wall. ! He would mark ofl an inch or ;a foot or a yard in some conspicuous place and then see how near anybody could come to cnalking trie same length upon the blackboard. And it is aston ishing how wide astray one would go. The fact is, our eyes deceive us ridicu lously, even upou the commonest things. At first thought which; would you say was the taller, a three-year old child or a barrel of flour ? And could anything convince you but actual measurement that the same child is half as high as a six-footer ? There is an old saying that a child wo years old is half as tall" as he ever will be, and after a few experiments in measuring, cne can easily believe it, but not before. 1 Peculiarities of Japanese Theatres. - The entrance aud exits jto and from the stage bf a Japanese theatre are all made through the audience by a long, raised platform down one side, corres ponding with one of our side aisles, and introductory; remarks are made from it. Prompting is not eo adroitly done as with us. An. attendant in black squats behind the star, book in hand, and reads every fword of hi part to him in full view of all but those of the audience directly in front, since lights are not used, but each actor is accompanied by an invisible (a man with his face covered by a black cloth) who holds a candle at the end of a long pole just under his face. The attendant mu?t be well up in the action of the part, for he is never in the way of the principal! but nimbly manipulates his candle so as to avoid intercepting him. Women do riot act, but men represent them, and it is no- ticatle that men who are above the averageWight are always chosen and whose natural voices are anything but effeminate. Stars are paid well, the best at the best theatre getting $1000 per month. The dressing is quite as extravagant as ours, and he requires no less than forty servants, so that his expenses, like these of all high-sallari-ed people, are large. The stage has a thirty -foot turn-table in the midd'e of it, by which scenes are changed quickly by simp'y turning it around. The stage machinery is quite simple. An upright post a foot in diameter wathe pivot of the turn-table, and the peri phery rested on well greased wood bearings, and the power was that of a couple cf coolies applied to a stick at tached to the rim. The curtain is a light cotton cloth hungi on a wire. The lights are large candles with thick paper wicks, which requires snuffing every few minutes and are snuffed by an old fellow who handle the snuffers with a professional flourish, occasion ally dropping a red end into a box without stopping to apologize. The foot and fly-lights h snuffs while the play i In progress, going in and out among the players, regardless of the situation. The play lasts all day and all nighLV A box for four costs two dollars for a whole day or a whole night. .Parties go and stay all day, lunching and smoking at pleasure. It is an "extremely social sight. The Chinese theatres da not give any idta of it. The ventilation is good, odors not offensive ;j the gay .dresses of the people in the boxes are pleasing an well as their glad faces and their bright eyes. That they are a sympa thetic people is proven by the fact that during the melodrama, while a poor, blind orphan was reciting his tale of sorrow' heads were bowed all over the house and women had "real good cries," such' as might flatter Clara Morris, were she on the stage. The f-t reefs in the; vicinity of the great . 1 . .- an. a 1 meafcres are: nueu wnu pe?ep snows- and monkey shows, and low-prieed comic the it res and wax figures and side chowB of all kinds, which are in teresting for a glance, , but not gen erally entertaining. Spanish Marbling. There are many co njectures concern ing the origin of Spanish marbling. Some persons have imagined that some one with a trembling hand, or in a state of agitation,, by mere accident discovered the secret ; but such is not the fact. A man in his workshop was proceeding with his work, had put on all his colors, and had just commenced the process of laying on the sheet of paper, when just as the corner touched the liquid, another one came and drove violently against the trough, by which the surface bfjthe solution, with the colors then .floating upin it, was in stantly put in violent motion, like the waves of the sea, and the effect thereby produced excited further study and research, which eventually terminated iu the production of Spanish Marble. This description brought a very high price when it first came put, and the first was made in the following manner: One person got under the trough, which 'was placed on a frame of wood, so iAade as to admit of it and when the colors were all put on, and the paper Iready to be laid down he shook the trough so as to agitate it with some violeLce, when the paper was immediately put upon it,1 and the wavy appearance produced ; those waves were, however, very broad when compared with those done in the present simple manner, and re quired two persons to accomplish what is now done by one, in a superior manner. ; j Bowcn's Bonanza. The Colorado Millionaire Owner ef the Sam- . rait Mines. I believe Judge Bo wen came to this country a poor man fiom the State oi Arkansas, where he was formerly a wealthy pla nter. For seven long weary years he has prospected, ever in debt and getting deeper so every month and year ; putting f very dollar of his earn ings in prospect holes ; contending against fate seeminglj', yet ever hope ful and corageous ; fighting on while others grew faint-hearted and left the field. Success has teen his reward at last. But he has grown gray in the fight. During the years when he ws s Judge of this district he plodded on foot o er the mountains from county to pounty, being too poor to own a horse for the purpose. Hewas over whelmingly in debt when he made the strike in the Ida mine. He had kept up his nerve, and, with wonderful con fidence in his luck and judgment, had been able ,to hold the confidence of men and get their labor with prom ises to pay until the great bonanza was struck. Gold; fairly rolled into his coffers, and in an incredible short time he had. ;money to pay off all scores and have a surplus in bank. He has paid off all his own debts and all the debts of the mining companies whose stock he had bought. One of thee o a Denver bank, of $49,000, was charged to - loss latt year. Judge Bowen has paid it this year. I shall relate an anecdote told me, at the risk, perhaps, of offending the Judge, becaus'e it will indicate point edly the genefous and honorable char acteristics of the man. Some months ago he learned of the joverty of an old frigid and neighbor in Arkansas. He remembered At once that he owed that friend $300, sh old debt of honor Of eleven years' standing, and he procur ed a draft for jthe amount and enclosed it to him. As a matter of course, in due time there came a grateful letter acknowledging the welcome check. A Town of Tripoli. Derne or Belled el Soot, the ancient Darnis, is placed near the n.outh of a larre ravine, or wadyon a point of low laud running out from the foot of a high range lof barren hills about a mile from the! coast. Unusually well supplied with water for that region, it has numerous date-palms, vineyards, and gardens, j In the winter the wady is full of rushing water; from the hills, but in rammer the market is held in the bed of the torrent. The streets jof ' the town, which con tains some good houses, are, like thoee ot most places in Barbary, narrow, irregular, and filled with the filth and rubbish which seems indispensable to Arab comfort and happiness.' The port is f mallj and inconvenient, with no protection! from the north or north east. ; " j . ' So little do ouch towns change, that the traveler of to-day looks upon much the same scene as was presented to Gen. Faaton'a eyes when he looked down upon the little city In the spring of .1805, while the head, of hU weary column mounted the crest of the bill and encamped for" a night of well arned repose. - . Flashes of Fashion. Capsimere and cheviots continue to te the leading fabrics for ordinary wear. Among new watch trinkets and charms the wish-bone, in gold and silver is seen. Bangle rings have pendauts in the form of padlocks, horseshtes, bells and balls. - The Jersey is now used for fatigue costumes in the ceuntry or on long journeys. Copper and brickdust shades are growing deeper and darker as the sea son advances. Derby elta, under new names acd only slightly different forms, will again be worn. Peaked or pointed bed ices with gathered scarf panier draperies will be much worn, It takes very little cf the striped novelty poods or plush to renovate a half-worn dres. Loose twisted chamois leather aud undressed kid gloves are as much worn asKver. Rhine crystal ornaments are now made so very fine as to simulate dia monds wonderfully well, j Heavy. double box-plajted ruchiugs adorn the bottom' of the skirts of many handsome costumes. Moire is as fashionable this winter as Surah was last, but Surah is by no means discarded. Floral 'decorations, either of real or artificial flowers, are coming in vogue for wedding cakes.

The following story, selected from an eastern teacher, may be applicable in all climes and by uH people " There was once a Iteautiful damsel upon whom one of the good ge:sii wished to bestow allesine. He led her to the edge of a la rge field of corn, where he wild to her . "Daughter, in the field before us the ears of corn, in the hamls of those who pluck them in faith, shall have! tallismanic virtue,-1, and the vir tue shall be iu proportion to thesize and beauty of the ear gathered. Thou shalt paas through the field once, and pluck one ear. It must be taken as thou gocst forward and thou shalt .not stop in thy path nor shalt theu retrace a single step in quest -of thine o'.ject. Select an ear full an i fair, and accord ing to its size and beauty shall be its value to thee as tall isman. " ' "The maiden thanked the good genius; and then set forward upon her quest. As she advanced she saw many ears of corn, large, ripe and beautiful, such as calm judgment might have told her would possess virlue enough ; but in her eagerness to grasp the very best she leftithesej fair ears behind, hoping that she might find, one still fairer. At length as the day was clos ing, she reached a part of the field where the. stalks were shorter aud thinner, and the ears very thin and shriveled. She now regretted the grand ears she had left behind, and disdained to pick from the poor show around her, for litre she found not an ear which hole perfect grain. She went on, but alas! only to find the stalks moreand more feeble and blight ed, until as the end of the day wa closing, and the night coming on, she found herself at the end of the fieJd without having plucked an ear of any kind. p "No need that the genius should re buke her for her folly. She saw it clearly when too late, as bow many in all climes and in all ages, in the even ing of life call sadly arid regretfully to mind the thousand golden opportuni ties forever lost because they were not p'uekeel in their season." An exchange has this to say. about " Mingling Metaphor: " This is a on.mon, but ludicrous way of making language nonsensical. A letter lies b-.-fore me, just read, which has this phrase: " I hope this widow's mite may take root and spread its branches until it Incomes a Hercules in your, bands. " This is paralleled by a prayer that "God's rod and staff might !e ours while toss ed on the sea of life, that tb us we may fight the good fight of faiih and soar to rest. " Some one has said, that be fore you use a figure " paint it ! " that is, draw a mental picture of it; see whether it conveys sense or ton-ense. " We thank thee for this spark of grace ; vafer it, Xord !" Surely he who tli us prayed did not paint it. Gird up the loins of our minds, that we may receive the latter rain "as If we were barrels whose hoops were oose. ' . , Carelessness is the usuari cause. This is another word for irreverence. We do not addres an earthly mag is tiate or ruler witnout taaing beea, and shall we rueh Into God's p-eenee with "strsnge fire?" Ignorance is another wause, as where one urged the duty of setting "a watch " on our lips that we ml?ht know how short our time is The idea of a time-piece evi dently was in the mind. Common sense, with a devotional frame of mind, will ordinarily pre serve one who speaks or prays from this fault, which plainly is fatal in its effects upon the service which is marred by its indulgence.

Pleasant Homes. A little time and labor will make the grounds alout the house look tidy, neat and inviting. There is no use in having the yards all covered with sticks, chips aud lact year's burdi -k stocks to stick their hateful burs into' clothes and Mockinsrs. Use the gar den rake aud a wheelbarrow. Ifther are dry leaves d rifling aroun l,so much the I etter, they will make a good ai sorbent for the manure shed or piggery No matter if the hous is oi l, or brown, or moss grown with age, if it is c!rarj-d up neatly it will look as if it were comfortable and give a favorable im pression of the Inhabitants, and a few flower roots set out and trimmed up nicely, will make the homeliest place look pleasant. A few vines, running up the side of the house so a to siuwle the windows and doors are as niuh of an ornament to an old house, as they are to a fine mansion. "A pretty orch can be made over the door, by setting long poles each side of the stej,nd passing strings over the top backward. If you cannot get hop vines, plant beans, morning glorie-s, or sweet pea ; and train .them to run up, and you will have rwmething that will give pleasure all a'ong summer day. Jioys will evjoy helping If you only thow theuj how to do it, aud it will le a life long pleasure to them to kn w how b make things look pretty. Do not, think it will take too much time. Children can be taught r!y in life to make themselves useful, and there is no child but that likes to . e a pleasant home, and if they know h-w to do it, will take hold and help make it pleasant." We all of us form an idea of a -r-non's character when we t.a' his dwelling. If ws see the yards all in a Utter, and pigs, calves snd chickens hopping over logs and chips, we arc immediately impressed with the 1 re lief that shiftless people liv there. A row of sunflowers, or a clump of holly hocks are an improvement to any place, and look far better than rjik pig weeds, or mayweed, growing every wheie. Thre is no excuse for the surroundings of a farm house to b filthy and cluttered up with every thing; only just sheer kazuiews, and don't-careaUveness. I guess that is a new word, buj is as expressive a one as I know. L
