THE MODERN BELLE.
"Oh, auutif, auntie, Iktu comes my
beau, lie, ho, ho. Ain't he a swell?
Uless his heart. I hope he lias jjol
some choekolate drops."
All this in a loud, bold tone, as she
leaned far out of the window to kino
her hand to a pale, luck-a-daisieul
young man, whoso weak mouth, tin
hidden by inountaohe or beard, be
trayed his want of force of character.
Miss Mabel Valentine is a fair spe
cimen of tlio modern belle. Brought
up since the condition of affairs has
altered at the South, since so much
conservatism has becu thrown to the
winds, her traiuing shows the effects
of it. She is pretty, sparkling, bright,
with a moderate supply of brains, in
dustrious, with a good or rather a
kind heart, high animal spirits, an
unlimited capacity for what she calls
fun ; but unfortunately, she
thinks sho cannot enjoy the best
fun, unless soma man is dangling at
her fan chain. Shu has no cultivation,
why should she ? The young men of
the country have had little or or no
opportunity for it, and she does not
want to ''grow away" from them.
The magnificent idea of self culture,
added to all her charms, exerted to the
full extent to raise and elevate, almost
imperceptibly, the tone of general so
ciety, has never entered her head.
No, alio is too eager for "fun," ami
then alas ! that woman slnuild .ever
stoop so low ! Marrying a man with
a little more money than his fellows is
tho height of her ambition.
Miss Mabel was staying with her
aunt Miss Rathbuu at a small water
ing place. Her aunt was a lady of
uncertain years,. of tho old school, but
with grit anil sympathy enough, tu
condone tho follies of youth; but look-i,
words ami acts bordering on the es
sentially vulgar excited . her disgust
and sometimes her horror. Mie could
not understand how a woman "carry
ing on as the modern term is, cmild
retain her own self respoct or the re
spect of others, hovering so continu
ously on the border laud of liohemin.
Miss Kathbtin tound it a trying
task chaperoning a girl of whom she
knew so little. Although her broth
er's daughter, they had only met onto
before. 1 ho young lady was head
strong and plainly showed sho would
brook no control, liut to let her lin t,
dance, rido, receivo presents of every
description, costly and otherwise, !e--
como engaged to six men or more at
once, of which shs boasted with great
gleo, was moro than tho good aunt
could stand, without serious remon
strance. Tlioy had, with them, a young lady
Nonio Seymour, who unlortunalely
for her sweet disposition, had hemi
visiting a family in her quiet little
town, who almost in 1 Solium ia rteell,
had a degrading inllucnco on youth,
awakening prurient fancies that should
forever sleep. Nonie had some con
science and thought hotself possessed
of mor!) mind than fell to her lot. She
was also, at times, rather silly. In
her state of mind, sho was easily in
fluenced by Mabel, anil as she was
one who had not the boldness to be
really "fast," sho was also one who
could not come out "scot free." Hut
being clasped to his heart, in the
mazes of a public dance, by a drunken
suitor, was a humiliation that lasted
some time, for sho was a modest,
sweet girl, only lacked sense enough
to keep in her own track, instead of
following in the wako ot'olheis
When a young man over whom she
had of lato, grown sentimental, took
her to rido and, uuttitiii his arm
around her, gavo her a resounding
smack and then offered to employ her
as his cook (tight, of course) as ho ex
pected to marry Miss Mabel in a weckj
her rago and mortification sent her
homo, especially as she had expected
a declaration of undying love. She
afterwards married the plain, honest
loving farmer, whoso heart had so
keenly suffered from her vagaries.
But now ho rejoices in his pleasant
home and modest, sensible wife.
Mabel after being courted by all the
empty headed boys in the country ;
alter getting herself and several of her
beaux into innumerable scrapes, where
whiskey first, pistols next, were freely
bandied about; after tho best men
had cut her nctpiainlaiice, for sensible
men are sometimes liko moths, caught
by a glare; nIio married a low coarse
man for his money, and although he
was not absolutely a brute, yet she
developed into a slip shod, delicate,
peevish woman. How could sho help
it ? With no other idea on earth, but
"having a good time," there is not
much hope of a woman becoming the
ideal wile and mother, when she brings
no pure, true love to help her "bear
and forbear," -where so much depends
on her lo make the happiness of a
home, which ought to be a faint type
of Heaven itsrlf.
Hut what of Miss Uathbuu ? She
found a congenial soul in an eligible
bachelor, whom Mabel had endeavor
ed to entrap in vain.
One of those rare characters, a man
of a high order of intellect, well cul
tivated, whose purity of life and lov
ing heart, kept equal pace. A well
balanced condition lie had attained by
hard persevering endeavor. Xow to
crown his triumph over self (for,
reader, it lakes many a hard fought
battle) ho met this kindred
and
spirit,
"1 asked my heart what love Is

tho remains of Miss Annie Urcwer
were interred in a marble sarcophagus
onstructcd in tho yard adjoining her
father's house in East Hartford. The
circumstances of this case arc sad and
peculiar. Miss Urewer was tho 1G-
year-old daughter ot hilward lirewer,
ading citizen of this place. She
as tho idol oi hfr lainer, wnose
lole life seemed to be wrapped up
her. A week or two before Christ-
as she was taken sick, and, after a
tort illness, died. On her deathbed
sho expressed a horror of being put
into tho ground, and her father prom
ised that sho should not be, In spitu
f tho entreaties and persuasions of
lis friends and relatives, he declined
to allow tho remains to bo taken from
tho house. The corpse was dressed
for tho grave and enclosed in a hand
some collin, which was placed in the
parlor. Every day an undertaker
isited tho house, and did' what was
necessary lo preserve lite remains.

RUNNING A NEWSPAPER.
THE OVm, FiTK OK A M IX WHO THOUGHT ill?
COl'LO 1)0 IT.
Tho man who knows how to run a news
paper came Into the olllco yesterday, lie sat
down in Hie chair, and pulled all the ex
changes into his lap, and began his criticism.
"I ought to have been an editor," said lie,
"Just to show you fellows how easy It Is to
run n newspaper. W by don t you pitch into
the common council? 7'cnplu want some
kind of excitement. (Ilvo tho police thunder
for not attending to bushiest. H will wake
tho people up. Osar, wouldn't I make it hot
for 'em if I had anything to do with a paper !"
S'pose you run this ollleo for two hours to
tilt yourself,"
All right. Just let me do It. I'll show you
the holiest aillcle you ever saw. (Jive diu lite
pencil."
Wo left lit in silling in the editorial chair.
We met Jim Jones, a dii'ler from Alamagpii-
zeluui.
"Where's tho editor ?" said he.
Up stairs at his desk," was the reply.
Jones had blood in his eyes, ami he, bounded
up two steps at a time, while we waited at the
foot of the stairs for developments, In about
two minutes we saw the dictionary II y out of
the upper window, then there was sound us of
a chair being smashed, followed by loud yells,
and in two seconds the door flew open and the
would-be editor camo rolling down stairs.
What's your hurry ?'' we asked as he flew
by us. "Sit down and tell us how to roil a
newspaper," w continued
lie struck the
"
nut h
never stopped. Ho just flew across
the sidewalk and fell on his back In the gut-
ler. And such a sight ! His nose was knockc.1
crosswise, one eya was black as a thunder
cloud, his hair stood on end, Lis coat was
ripped down the back, and one alcevo torn out,
Jones was coining down the stairs, and the
would hu editor Jumped and ran tip the rail
roud with Jones close til his heels, yelling,' "1
ain't the editor," at every. jump he took, lie
.isn't li-tiiri.ed. Wo fear his youlhlul dream
f running a newspaper has been nlppid in ihe
bud by the frost of adverse eiietim-tani-es.
HE GUESSED ITWAS NOT QUITE
TIME TO THROW OUT HIN1S
ivannah It 'crrd.
When a (Icorgia father found out thai his son
John was sparking a certain farmer's daughter
for a year or more without settling any ipies
tlc i, ho called out behind the track and said to
him:
"Joint, do you love Susan linked?
I guess I do, dad."
And docs she love you;"
" that's what I diiuno.and I'm loo'frald loask
her."
Well, you'd better throw out a few hints to-
night and Hint out. It's no use wearing out
bout leather unless you me going lo marry
iter."
I hat night at ten o'clock John came, home a
wrecn. ins lace was all scratched up, his cjJ
was bleeding, his hat gone, and bio back nut
coveted with mud.
John! John! What on nlitli Is the matter?
exclaimed the old man, laving dow n his piper
lliu over to Tinker's," was ihe reply.
Ami -ami-"
"And 1 threw out a few hints to Susan."
What kind of hints?"
"Why, 1 told her Id been hooting it I wo miles
four nights out of a week for tho last yi-ar to
pet up with liur while s ie chawed gum and
sun.; through her nose and now 1 reckoned it
was lime for her to hruli her teeth and dam up
lockings, cure the bile on luri hin and tell the
old folks lhat we're engaged."
And her fatlur bounced you?"
"No, d id, no; that's where I'm cons lie 1. 1 1
took Ihe whole gastod family, including .Susan
two hired men and three dogs, and then I
wasu't inore'n half licked. I guess wo moved
on 'em too soon, dad I goes It wasn't quite
