her liL'anlfssncss is proverbiul. Since

everyone. Why, look at her now f
Doctor Stanley's eyes followed tho di
rection in which the Itidy vtaved her fin,
and rested on the central figure of a
group around the piano. It was a lady,
young and fair, with tall, exceeding
graceful figure, pure' Greek features,
and large blue eyes. Her hair was
short, but the soft, full curls made o
lovely frame for the fair face. Her
dress was of dark luce ; and twitted
amongst the golden curls were deep
crimson fl.iwers, with d-irk-reen leaven,
and on tho snowy throat nnd arms glit
tered blood-red rubies. She was emi
veis'nej gaily with a knot of gentlemen,
nnd Doctor Stanley sauntered over the
group.
".Miss Jlarston, stiiu one eonHcnian,
"what has become of Harold Graham,
the artist?"
The tiny hands swept over the ivory
k'fys of the grand piano in the measure
of a brilliant waliz, and another of tin;
group, supposing Miss Marston did not
hear the question, said ; ''Out at elbows,
and can I appear.
' He wus wretchedly poor, there is no

"Perhaps lie litis committed suicide
It is three weeks since he disappeared,"
said another.
"Oh, I hope not 1" said Miss Marston ;
we want his tenor for our next musical
soiree, it would De too provokme lor
In i n to commit suicide 1
Mrs. Holmes wus right," thought
the doctor; "she is pci Iccl'y heartless
Poor Harold 1"
He turned from the piano, but stop
ped, as u lull, rich voice broke out into
sing, ha Marston was singing
Schubert's 'Last Greeting;" nnd into
the mournful words she poured such
wailing energy und deep pathos, that
oronp alter group in the largo rooms
ceased their gay conversation to listen
to the music.
"Can sbe sing so without heart or
feeling?" muttered the doctor, again
drawing nearer to the piano.
Eu, said the young lady, as the
last notes of the song died away, "Eva,
play a polka, won't you?"
A contemptuous smile quivered lor a
moment on ha iMatstons lip; then
nodding good-naturedly, sho dashed off
into a lively polka, which soon melted
the group around the piano into merry,
light-footed dancers ; and Djctur btan
ley went with the rest.
The next morning Miss Marston sat
in her own room, wilting a letter. Let
up peep over her shoulder at ouo sen
tence. ",VI hollow, all heartless, Milium I

A knock at tho door intenupted
her.
"Conic in !" at.d a needle woman en

"Good morning," siid Kvrt, pleasantly.

"Never mind that. How culd you

"Sure, miss, it's trany a one expects

"What I gave Terence has nothing
to do with my bill," said Eva, rapidly
counting nut some money.
"Miss Eva " siid the poor Irish
needle woman, nnd then stopped.
"Wtll, Mary?"
"Siire, nibs, you do so much good

"Tell ine what?"
"Well, miss, it's about the young gen

and he niver come down stairs for three
days ; so this morning I wint up, and
he's sick with a fever, out of his head
entirely, miss. If you would come
now." '
"Wait, Mary ; I'll go with you."
"He's dreadful poor, I think, miss, for
it's precious little furniture nothing but
a bed, Hod r (able, and athalr',.anl no
trunk nt nil, at all, but a bit of a car
pothng." Throwing off her rich silk wrnpper,
K 'a put on a dark gray dress and cloak,
nnd added a closo hilk bonnet with a
thick veil.
Come, Mary."
And the two left the house together.
In a low, close room, on a pallet-bed,
lay Mary l'etinis' lodger. The face
against the coarse tiiking pillow was
such at one fancies for that of his fav
orite p rt. The hair was dark, waving
over a broad, white forehead ; and the
di'fp-sel eyes were lir.zM, large, and full ;
and the features delicate.
Usually tho face was pale, but now it
was ci 'imson with fever; the eyes, too,
fitreo and v.'ild. I'nt, even with till this,
thai face was beautiful with an almost
unrmthly beauty.
Into that poor, low room, hva, with
her sombre dress nnd radiant beauty,
came like n pitying angel, t-'ho onvc
one glance nt the invalid's face ami
them crossed the room to his side.
' Mval" said the sink man, Kal"
"ile 'knows me," she murmured,
drawing back.
lint tho yoipin man moaned her
fame agnie, nnd then broke forth in
wild delirious ravings.
"Mary," said Kvn, "ser.d Patrick to
me. I will find pencil and paper."
Mary left the room, and Kva turned
to the table to find paper and pincil.
rflio wrote two hasty notes. One was to
her hnusel.eeper, lot pillows and sheets;
the other war, to Dr. Stanley, who did
tn.t cot ji cturo iviiti was the friend that
sent him so mui:! practice among pour
patient!', and s.iw that tho young physi
cian was well paid.
llavi-g dispatched Patrick with the
notes, K.a tr.ed to make the desolate
home-like. Lilting from the table a
wai.-tcoal S'lincihing dropped frota the
pocl.t t to the f. n r.
Sue picked it up. Tt was a small
niinial n o c i:,e, open ; end painted on
the ivory was I'iva Marston's bcauUiu!
face.
A smile, geiitlo and pitying, came on
her lip.
"lie did love ine, then really love
nic and would not seek me with the
herd of the foilunc humer i who follow
me, and that is the reason I have missed
him for so long."
"Arrah, miss, here's tho docther."
"Stop him, Mary. I will go in here.
Remember, Mary, you don't know my
name 1" and F.-a went into another little
room vacant, and adjoining that of the
invalid's. The door stood ajar, and Dr.
Stuuley's first exclamation after enter
ing n ached her.
"llarnlil 1 huve I found you at last,
and in such n place?"
Kva's eyes ranged over tho capabili
ties of the rooio in which she stood, ai d
sbe nodded saying :
"It will do larger nnd better than
the other, but a poor place at best."
Tho next day, when Doctor Stanley
ley called to sec his patient, Mary, wilb
a pardonable pride, ushered him into
the room that hud been vacant before.
A soft carpet was on the floor, and a
fire in the grate. Soft triuilin curtains,
snowy white, draped the window. The
bed could scarcely bo recognized, with
its pure, white pillinvu, eounterpane, and
she ts. A little tVile t-',o,.dbcsiilo thi
bed. with tlie mi: litiio's the doctor h id

'The lady ye miod I tol l you of, that

good man and I moved him to-day, so
sl.c'll find him here when she comes.

Was it a dream, that sweet, low voice
atsweiing him?
"Harold, you will not die ycu will

And the tears fell as she spoke.
Doctor Stanley, standing in the door
way, recognized the bull-room belle, and
and the olject of his friend's long, b'i
lent, hopeless love.
Softly be glided own the stairs, for
he knefc that a belter medicino than he

And fio world said: "Jest think of

At the closo of tho sermon the minis

C, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1870.
Uvn. Forrest') Uitnic ol I'okcr.
A TIiniLLTNO ST0UY DID HIS WIFE
l'UAY WHILE HE WAS PLAYING.
From the Nashville Banner.
Several years ago Geo. Forrest
visited the city and stopped at the old
City Hotel. That night several gentle
men called there, among whom was
penijnmnt) now connected with the
Banner. The room bad been crowded
during tho early part of tho night, and
I'm rest hnd received tho usual attention
bt'vtowed on him. .Vow, however, he
wus sittieg oil' t himself, nnd nppeured
worn nnd tired out, Our informant,
wishing to have a talk with hitu about
himself, sought him and entered in cou-
ver.-Ntilio!! with him.
"General," says he, I've heard you
were a great poker player in your
time.
"Yes," says the General, "I have
played some," and his eyes began to
s iarklc with tho memory of old times
nnd lie nt once seemed interested in the
subj'.cf, for ho it known that no one
wi a fonder than h in recounting his
manv won.lerlul exploits.
"How imie.li, General, was tlio largest
stake yon ever played?"
" onco called if 1,000 in New Or
leans." "Did you win?"
"Oh. yes I I won it."
'What was your hand?"
'It. was three kings."
'1'iit," says he, ' tho hardest gnme I
ever played was at Memphis. Just
after llio war closed my wife nnd I wont
to Memphis, nnd we stopped at tho
Worsham House. The next morning
we got our things together and 1
emptied all my papers out of my trunk
on the flaor, and Mary (I'm not certain
his wife's name was Mary, but that will
do for the tale,) went over and over
them, hunting something to raise money
out of. I emptied my pockets nnd
M iry o"iUit'il her'n, and between us we
hail (i.li'l. Alter hunting over every
thing, we found that every man who
owed mo was either dead or broken. I
hadn't one sine'.! paper on which I could
raise a cent. Alter wo got through
the pile, I looked at Mary and Mary
looked ut me. 'Now what's to bo done,
Maryr'baid I. 'I don't know,' says
she, 'but the Lord will provide.' You
see Mary was o.io of the best women in
tiiO world, and aim had a heap of faith
in her religion. I look at her right
straight a long lime, and nt last says I :
'Maty, you are a miuhty good woman,
ami I'm going lo tell you something.
There's to be a big dinner at this
evening, and I'm invited They always
play poker at that house, and you have
been agiu my playing and t rrcon you
are right about it. lut things have be
cotno (lespcrato with us, and somehow
I feel if you wouldn't be ngiu me, but
w.iiilJ pray for nie, I could make a raise
lo-1'ighl.'
"Says she 'Bedford, I can't do it.
it's wrong for you to do it, and I'd heap
rather you wouldn't.'
" 'lint Mary,' says I, 'I never was in
such a fix before. Here we are with no
tiioiu y but ijT.oi, nnd that wouldn't pay
our tavern bill. I can't lose no more
than that, for I'll swear I won't bet on
credit. If I lose that I'll come home,
and if I win, then we'll have something
to start on.' Well, I argued with bcr,
but she would uever say yes. Hut at
last sho says :
" 'Bedford, I know your mind is set
on it, and I know you are going to bet
whether I'm willin' or not ; so I won't
say nothing more about it.'
"Hut, somehow, I felt when I started
thnt she was for me, and just koowed
how 'twouid be.
"Weil, I went some lime before
dinner and, sure enough, they were nt
it. Thr y had three tables one had n
quiiter-anle, one a half, a::d one a
dollar and a half. I wante d my seven
dollars to last as long as I could make
it, so I sat down to the quarter table.
We bet on until dinner, and by that
lime I had won enough to do belter;
ai d after wc had eat, I sat doivn to the
ir and a half table. Sometimes I
von, an then again Id lose on until
nieli about midi.ight, and I had better
luck. I knowM Mary was sitting up and
prayinn ; 1 felt like it, and it made me
cool. I set my bat down by my side
on the floor, and every time I'd win I'd
op the money in the hr.t. Wo played
on. and t ii'tiu t Know tunning aDout
bow much I'd won. I didu't keep any
count but 1 know I was winning. I
thought may be I'd won a hundred
d"ilat3, or may be two hundred, but I
didn't know. I set there until day
broke, and then wo went borne. I took
my hut up in both hands and mashed it
on my head, and went home so without
taking it off. When I got to my room,
there sal Mary in her gown, and tho
bed wasn't mashed. She'd set np all
night waiting for me. She seemed tired
and anxious, and although she looked
mighty hard at ine, she didi.'t say a
word. I walked right up to her, and,
pulled off my hat with both hands, 1
emptied it all right in tho lap of her
rrown. And then we sat down and
counted it."
"How much was there Gencrnl?"
"Fiflcn hundred dollars even."
"And that," add the General as he
walked olT, "gin me a start."
"Gentlemen ot tho j'iry, said an
Irish barrister, "it will be for you to say
whether this defendant shall bo allowed
to cmo into court w th unblushing foot
steps, with the cloak of hvpocricy in his
mouth, and draw tbrco bullocks out of
my client's potkcl wilb iuipuuity."
"Uentlcuinnlj-" tiirN.
The young lady of the period rather
prides herself opon hor gentlemanly
appearance. She wears a round hat,
and raises it by way of acknowledging a
bow ; uses ber umbrella as cane ;
thrusts ber gyly colored Handkerchief
in her ' ulster" pocket) and fl luriuhes it
from time to time in a marked manner.
She uses slang, and characterizes ber
male frier. Js as "jolly fellows," "slow
coaches," or "cads." This boldness
toward ber male friends is far more dis
agreeable to us than the wearing of hats
suitable for men, or garments cut in a
style formerly used by gentlemen alone.
Girls make a great mistake in thus for
getting tho delicacy of their sex. How
strange they do not know that manish
niss or boldness is as offensive 1 1 young
men, if they nro true gentlemen, as it is
to their mothers. The best young men
will say when speaking of a young ludy
of this class, "Oh, yes, she's rather
pretty and pleasant enough to chat with
a while, but I haven't a particlo of
respect for her, and would never think
of marrying such a girl." They know
that jewels need to he sought after, and
do not lie on the surface toibo picked
up by anyone. When such young men
arc ready to marry, they seek for
modest, Hnnbtrusive ynung ladies, who
are busy with books and b mie duties,
who dress in quiet taste, and are neither
in gait nor manners inclined to mannish
ness. Girls like those do not need to
"do the courting," or dress loudly to
attract the attention of the other sex.
Think less of your "nnby hats," girls,
nnd mnre of the bends beneath them.
A simple, becoming dress is far mere
attractive than the costume you call
"stunntng." and a low, sweet voice
more likely to win admiration than loud,
resonant tones perpetually employed in
giving empnsls to slang.
t'lirion FitrlM.
Serpents are said to obey the roice of
their master' Tbo trumpel-bird of
America follows its owner liko o spaniel,
and tho jicana acts as a guard to
poultry, protecting them in the field all
day from birds of prey, and escorting
them home at night.
In the Shetland Isles there is a gull
which defends the fuck from eagles; it
is therefore regnrded as the privileged
bird.
The chamois, bounding over the
mountains, are indebted for their safety
in uo small degree lo a species of pheas
ants. Tho bird acts as the sentinel ; for as
soon as it gets sight of a man, it
whistles upon bearing which, the
chamois, knowing the hunters to be
near, sets off at full speed.
The artifices which partridges and
plovers employ to delude their enemies
from the nest of their young may be
referred to as a case in point, ns well ns
the adroit contrivance of tho hind for
the preservation of her ynung ; for
when she hears the sound of dogs, she
puts herself in the way of the bunter,
and starts in a directtou to draw ihera
away from her fawns.
Instances of tho effect of grief
upon
animals are no less remarkable.
The writer already cited says:
"I knew a dog tbat died of sorrow at
the loss of bis master and a bullfinch
that abstained from singing ten ei.lire
months on account of the absence of
its mistress, On ber return it imme
diately resumed its song.'
L ird Kaimes relates an instance of a
canary which, while siuging to a mate,
hatching her eggs in a cage, fell dead ;
the female left the nest, and finding him
dead, rejected all food, and died by bis
side.

"liiess the poor children who haven't
got any beds to-night," prayed a littl
boy. pist be'oro he laid down in bis
nice warm cot on a cold, windy night,
As he arose from his kuec, Ins moth-
er sain, "you nave just asKeu tr m to
bless the poor children; what will yuu
do to bless them?
The boy thought a moment. "Why,
if 1 hnd a hundred cakes, enough tor
all the family, I would give them
some."
"Hut vou have no enkes; what then
ure you willing to do?"
"When I f'ot enough money to buy
nil the thiiios 1 want, nnd linvo some
over, t'll give them some."
"Put you buvcii't enough money to
buy all you want, and perhaps never will
have; what will you do lo bless the poor
now?
"I'll give them some bread-"
"lnu have no bread ibo bread is
mine."
Then I could cam money and buy a
loaf myself.
"Take things as they now are you
know what vou have that is your own
what ere you willing to give to help the
poor?"
Tbe boy thought again, " d give
them half my money ; I have seven
pennies, I'll eive them four. Wouldn't
that be right?"
Tis old but true: "Trying to de bust
nous w.thout advertising is like wiuking
at a pretty eirl in the dark you may
know what you are doing, but nobody
else does."
Any father who would po nut and put
t-rotitop of bis front Rite alter dark
must be lost to all sense ol hummity and
ordinary respectability. It is unnecessary
too : they'll stay tlptr ',o I enough vvilb
out being slu k there.

Teaching YvnrBojs
Teach them that a true lady may be
found in calico quite as frcqneutly as in
Velvet.
Teach them that a rommon school
education, with common sense, is bet
ter than a college education without
it.
Teach them thnt one good, honest
trade well mastered, is worth a dozen
beggarly "professions."
Teach them that "honesty is the best
policy."
Tench there that, as they expect to
bo men some day, they cannot too soon
learn to protoa tho weak and help
