"A firm- touch and an artistic ej'e your daughter has talent which should be cultivated," said an artist to Mrs. Wayne, as he was looking at some of her daugh ter Lucille's drawings. . . Such were the worths, carelessly spoken aud soon forgotten, which, falling upon a young girl's ear, de cided her whole future destiny. In Lucille Wayne's mind, young as she was, ambition ranked first. To be famous, the admired til e"343T assembly not for her beau ty, but'Tor' fit-Tf alelTi sfii-i'.;slie' ' - . m . -I t- thought, would he an end -worm striving for. The child of w ealthy, idolizing parents, she had only to desire, and the t hing she had set her heart upon was hers; and so, never thinking but that Fame would be equally kind in coming speedily to her solicitation, Lucille 'determined to direct, her whole powers to the.-cultivation of her talent for painting. ( But coiiiiiieinent and loo steady application soon stole away the hue of health from Lucille's fair! cheek, and the anxious mother in sisted that for the .summer all work should cease, and she should go ami regain her roses in the fresh country air. j; , So to the .quiet home 'of Dr. Brougham,' her mot her's .broth er a venerable minister' of God's wort I Lucille went. Dr. Brougham was old, and of late hail not been in Ids usual health, and a year before he had aken an assistant, Reuben Hart, to help In in in his pastoral cares. The young man had grown iir a short time very dear to the old minister and his wffe, and thus, when the city niece came to the personage, upon Reuben devolved the greater share of her entertain-, ment. If Lucille had expected to find the iiours hang heavily upon her hands, she was mistaken. Each day saw some fresh amuse, inent gotten up tor her. Iienctit. ami, like a chapter -out of a story -the time flitted bv. To the grave young .man, who, orphaned in his boyhood, had never known the tender ties of mother or sister-love, this girl, with her fair face and dark, dreamy eves " came as a revela tion. He had never imagined anything mortal could he so beautiful. Ami so, inrowu constantly in ner so ciety, almost before he realized it he had tl rifted deeply, desperate ly into an engrossing passion. At last the golden days of sum mer hegau to shorten, and it was near the time when Lucille should return to her ow n home. Quite unconscious of the lcel- nigs with 'Which . KeiiOcii regarded her, it was a '.startling surprise" to Lucille when, during a ramble through the woods, her compan ion suddenly disclosed to her bis a deut love. The 'ide.of his pas sion swepr in, ami Mr her un moved and ''coldly nuicf. There' was n - moment of silence. Then she. said : I am sorry for this. Mr. Hart very, very sorry; hut I am not, as other girls, looking forward to marriage as my ultimate destiny. One cannot serve t wo masterly and Art is mine. 1 have deter mined never to marr". "Lucille," the young man ex claimed, "it cannot te that you i mean to sacrifice' ior ambition all the tenderest, iiolilesf emotions of life !" The. calm depths of her dreamy eyes answered him -us decisively; as her words : "It Will be no sacrifice:"- To me the laurel wreath of fame is more to be desired than a husband or a home '. j A stern look Hashed into the young man's eyes. "Home day you will be piniished for ihese words," he exclaimed. "In the years to come, .though the laurel wreath encircle yoiir-hrow, it will not bring you contentment. Then, in your loneliness, "you may repent that, for ambition you rejected an honest, loving heart". - During the few days which re mained before she returned to her city home Reuben never once sought Lucille's presence, and, strange to say, strange to say, as she 'remembered tin- restrained agony which had thrilled, through his tones 'in those parting words oi reproacn, a vii.i-ttnni of pain stirred in her ow u heart.

A few days later, with a friend she visited the gallery in which her painting was exhibited." A small group had collected about it. Suddenly a familiar voice fell upon Lucille's ear. "Without turn ing she knew it was Reuben Hart who was speaking. "Look around, Lucille," whisper ed her friend. "Just behind you is the 'lion' of the season. You have read the book by 'R. H.' which every one pronouuees such a masterpiece that is the author". That night, alone in her room, before her mirror, Lucille pushed away the dark masses of hair from her brow, and gazed long and ear nestly at her own features. "I am beantifu no longer", she murmured, sadly. "This pale, col orless face Can never hope to win again w hat the irirl's foolish- nessibtei' "'.;. A few week.shter, at a recep tion she iinexpectTy'Rftine face to face with Reuben for tT&t first time since, seven years behiip he had rebuked her tor her words! of ambitious pride. He had changed, too; but time j in passing had only given fresh power. -and.-, greater" manly beauty to his noble face. As he pressed her hand with a few indifferent common-places' of greetings, it. was with difficulty Lucille could repress i he bitter tears from welling up to her dark eyes. "He despises me." she thought; "and 1 cannot blaine him". Only a few moments he was left by her side. The talented young minister, whose powerful book had attracted such universal uotice, could not- be allowed to hide his light in a corner, and Lucille soon found herself alone. 'I'n not iced she bent her steps to ward a distant -conservatory,.-and there, secured from view amid the drooping tropical foliage, she re strained no longer her tears of re gret, and disappointment." Suddenly a quick tread sound ed upon the tited "floor;. . .With . a hasty movement-- Lucille dash ed the tears away, but not before they had been seen. It was Reuben Hart. He came to her side. "Weeping Lucille? Then, when I thought that I read in your eyes, as we met to-night, that you were not happy. I was right. 1 saw you come here, and T followed you; for, Lucille, yours is an expressive face, and it told' me something besides something that , caused a hope which I had thought could never revive again lo spring to sudden life". lie took her hand and forced her to look up into his face. "Lucille', he said, earnestly, 'have you not learned that far beyond worldly ambition, beyond the love of fame or gold, is human aflec tiou. Did I read your eyes aright that during1 these years of ab sence you have learned to prize the heart you once .rejected?". A sudden color restored to her face, which of late had grown so pale, its girlish loveliness; her soft lingers t rem bled in his clasp, but the hand was not withdrawn ; and Reuben knew that the. prize which had once been denied lo him, but which he had never ceased to cov et was his at. last. He clasped his arms .about her, and in that embrace all Lucille's unhappiness vanished, as the dark cloud melts beneath the rays of the sun. i So it is. and so it should le.

The following is said by the "Times," of Madisonville, Hid., to have occurred at the place: The other night when one of our young prominent society young men called to see his girl, he found her mother sitting quietly before the lire. After bidding hiiii "good evening," she looked him full in the face and said. "Do you reallv love my daughter Emma?"' "Vell ah my dear matlaine," stammered the youth, turning red in the face, "I have only been coining to see your daugh ter two months, and I really think you are a little premature in pro pounding such a question." "That's where we' differ, young man. if the seed of your sowing now will bring forth a matrimonial harvest, I'm willing to put. up with you a while longer, but if you are coining .". nights out of the week just to pass away time, you bad better cease coming at once," "Yes Well, really, madanie," put in the youth his voice all in a tiuiver, "since you press ine so closely for an an-; swer I must admit that I must ad mit that 1 am very fond of Emma, and that I live for, her alone" "Yes," broke in the anxious mamma "that's the trouble with yon young men; you waste too 'much time liv ing lor a girl alone when you ought to be living with her. I'm a plain. i old-fashioned woman and always say what I think. Now I'm willing to give you a month longer as a trial, but if at the end of that time I don't see a spankin' new ring on Emma's finger, your visits to this house will be cut ofY." And then, to the great relief of the youug man, she left- the room and sent in her daughter, who of r-ourse, y:s utterly unconscious of the good licks" her mother had lieen putting in for her. mil Jeff DaYis Thinks.

Can't she take hold of so? thing that will excite her ambi lion and interest her and make her some money. Girls are just human anil they want to tlo some thing. Girls who do not. marry aud whose fathers are poor will need some money after While when the roses begin to fade, the roses on their cheeks. Some are inde pendent enough to go to millinery aud dressmaking, but this gives employment to but. a few. Some paint flowers and tlo fancy work and sell what they make, but not many have the gift of genius in that line and so the question still comes up wiiat can the clever country girls tlo to make a .liv ing ior themselves ami leel inde pendent. Not long ago I w as ovi r in east earn North Carolina and I found the question answered in some places, I found some nice, well educated girls cultivating small fruits and vegetables for market. They dident plow the ground but they planted and hOetl and weed ed and gathered the crop. 1 saw an acre of strawberries that two sist -is had planti tl and they made a frolic of it. that is they went at it with a will and took a lively happy interest in it and they gath ered 4,000 quarts and said they would get a thousand more ami they packed them in the little baskets and the baskets into the crates and sen' them north and their sales had averaged .'30 cents a quart. Their total expences for hire of help and costs of baskets and freight to market was 9200 and this left a thousand for their work and watching and constant care. Well those gills are proud and independent. Their father had five acres and he was making money a good deal ol money. 1 never saw a nicer business nor one so simple and sure. The land was poor and sandy. The rows three feet apart,' when the plants get well set a 'plow' opens a furrow close by on each side and this furrow is nearly filled wit li cotton seetl and then the earth is thrown back on the cotton seetl, after that the vines are mulched with . pine straw- and that is all, I never saw vines as small or lierries as nu merous, I counted 210 on one plant. They layed ou one another. This vine had been picked three, times and there were 240 left. They frequently picked a quart from ; plants and left 'many not ripe..- They picked until S o'clock in the morning and the girls av eraged 1") quarts by that time. They begin again at 4 inv tl.,. af ternoon and get- la quarts more. When they hire pickers they pay 2i cents a quart - to girls and .2 cents to boys for tlie girls are more careful and tlo not mash the ber ries nor spill them and (lo not eat every big nice one I hey come across. But this is nor all. These girls have got a crop of raspberries just behind and they will make two of three hundred dollars till" of them and they are growing currants ami gijosberries and talk about going into potatoes and beans and grapes and all that, well w hy not. Fruit growing is a, nice business for girls and so in raising vege tables. Those girls have the ad vantage of ours for the market is nearer, but I have never seen the time that nice strawberries could ent be sold, at home lor 20 cents and that will make hits of money. Ami then again the exercise is so good for their health and t he occu pation is so cleanly aud delicate and suits their nimble and delicate lingers so well. Woman was the first gardener we read about, that is to say she was the first to pick the fruit and 1 have always thought she (Might to have been forgiven, for -hr first thought when she found the fruit, good was to give her husband some.

I wast -runiinating over these things to-day when 1 met San ford Bell ou the train. Sanford, the old reliable conductor who everybody knows and everybody, loves, anil we got to talking about the times and the crops aud when I men tioned John H. dames and his bust up. Sauford said yes that is mighty bad ou James and bad on the poor fellows who had their money in his bank. He had a tho-isand dollars there he said, a thousand dollars the savings of teu years and now he had to take a new start and his nlans and his hopes were broken up lor he was going to take 200 dollars of that money and send Clifford to Moore's business college and the 800 dol lars was for his daughter who had been so good and so kind to him and her mother and worked so willingly and faithfully at home, and he had picked out a nice little place to buy for her and let her enjoy the rents but the money was gone and the prospect was bad, very bad. After telling ine of the dark side he brightened u and said "well I wont give up too soon for Mr. James failed in IST.'t and he owed me odd. dollars then anil he paid it in full with interest and allowed me a premium of 12 per cent for my gold, just -what it was' worth I put my h it was gold in t here, al width only 4 per when he paid it illlll hack. He is a d man, .lames is, and w ill tlo the 1m? t can and he cant tlo any more. Soint folks abuse him for speculating ou t money our, l notice they neve abuse a man until he has bad luck and breaks. James speculated in Georgia railroad stock two years ago and made, they say, a hun dred thousand dollars and every body smiled and said James is a long headed ' man, nobody said a word against him, bur now they abuse him for lieing a speculator. Abont this time we met the down train and the engineer, Mr. Adams came up to Sanloid and said, "whats the will we ever get And Sanl'ored a little and then news my friend, anything."' cheered him up told me that Ad ams nan ?s,;oo m i here and it was his hard earnings in cold an l heat and winter ami summer and day and night while he stood at his post of duty, which is the post of danger. Well all this is bad, very bad and there are many worse eases. Sanford told ine about them and said he was sorrier for some others than he was for himself. "But then'' saitl he, "Mr. .lames is young enough and smart enough to rise again and I believe he will do it ami I'm not going to say a word to hurt his feelings or har rass him, for he has load enough to carry now aud my wife say s 1 will get that money some day, she has faith and she cheers me up when I am down and that is what a good wife ai way s does. She be lieves that money earned honestly is not going lobe lost. "What'have you done about your claim," said I. "Nothing, i li.re is nothing to tlo that I know of.

Soon after the train started the young man suddenly left the side of the expectant bride and took a passen ger in the corner oi the coach and informed him that he had arrived at the conclusion that he ditl not want to get married. He asked the passenger if he could not suggest some way by which he could get out of the dilemma. The man ad vised him to get on the south train when the two passed each other at Marksville, and in that way get out of the teach of the young lady. The passenger promised to ive i the deserted girl enough money to return to her-home. Claycev. act ing upon the suggestion, stole away undetected and got aboard the down train, and was ten miles away lie fore the young lady dis covered his desertion. At the next statio.islie left the train, refusing indignantly the offer of escort and money for her return. She then started, to wain down the track in the direction her recent lover had taken. She reached Patterson to day, miles having walked forty-seven She went at once to the store in which t laycey was a clerk.. and asked him pleasantly to step iwitvhhv The result ff the comer - sation was that he joined her an hour afterward, and the two goi - - - - on the train for another direction. They reached Hagerstown this evening ami. were .married. The bride is pretty, iiopnlar. and mod- j est. It is said that the parents of the groom objected to her lf cause she was older than Claycev aud not his equal in social jKisifion. who The Hon. James 1$.

"Oh! well," answered the other, "the skin of a fat dog is utterly worthless." "But sah," came back, "dat dog was not so d ned fat." So. whether in a condition of much adiposity, or extensive spec trality the hide is no good.

It seems from the Philadelphia journals that two grass widows re siding near the Jersey coast have recently committed bigamy una wares. Both were the wives of sail ors, and although their jolly jack tars had been absent only three years, the mothers of their children who they had left behind them, be came impatient and again placed their heads in the noose tuatrimo uial. Here are the particulars as forwarded from Philadelphia, un der date of May 18th : - Over three years ago the schoon er Joseph Maxneld, owned princi pflly by Jonathan May,: of this ty, sailed out of the Delaware up- voyage to the W est Indies. oi p Williams commanded her Lem Daisey was her first and Geo ft behind a wife, mate.

Tht. vessel siled be- yond the breakwater, and t wives might have seen her spea iug eanvas as the schooner passed their seaside home out to the treacherous ocean. It was a fatal voyage, and, as week succeeded week and mouth followed mouth without tidings of vessel or crew, dread 'succeeded anxiety, and as the months grew into years a gloomy certainty settled ujkmi the homes of those who had gone down to watery graves. Mrs. Daisey, the wife of the mate, was less than 20 years of age, aud was the daugh ter of Captaiu Williams. Mother and daughter, thus widowed by the sea, were the last to abandon all hopes of the return of the un fortuuate master, mate or crew of the ill-starred schooner. One day last year the wife of Isa ac Wharton, a wealthy resident of Ocean View, suddenly died, and a few; weeks afterward the widower asked Mrs. Williams to marry him. After a little struggle with recol lections of the past she consented. StHu afterward Mrs. George Dai sey married young Luther Evans, ami the memory of the two unfor tunate sailors Itegan to ; fade away The neighbors and friends had long since ceased to speculate uNtu the fate of the Maxfield and her crew. A few months ago Captain Eben Williams, the son of the lost cap tain, sailed m the "Marv lv ten wick" tor the same imrt to which liis father had started uikiii his last voyage, as nothing was hartl from his vessel for a long tune it was supposed that he also had lieen lost at. sea. The good people of Ocean V lew aud the surrouudiug country have- been, therefore, thrown into almost a tumult ol ex citement muni the receipt of infor mation not only that the Captain of the Feuwit-k, but that Captain Lemuel W illianis and hi mate, George Daisey, hav been found. -The loriimr was leported safe at Triuidad, while the other two were on their way to their homes from afar Eastern K?rt. Mrs. Lemuel Williauis, now Mrs. Isaac Wharton anil George Daisey 's wile received this wouderful news with mingled feelings of dismay and pleasure. The gossips have lieeu busy every hour of the day, and the end of the dreadful complication in the two households has been the theme of all tongues. The return of one of the crew of the Fen wick on Thurs day settled beyond question the truth of the news as to the safety of Captain Ebeu Williams, and more definite information is await- ed as to the facts about the other ; taken teps to stand in battle array two missing husbands.
