Eyes like violets wet with dew ; com plexion like a tinted sca-shcll ; hair like the silken tassels of the ripening com ; u lithe, graceful figure such was Lilla Dale. Ah, uielsbe was ouly nineteen, and I I was forty-live ; yet, I had dared to love her. No wonder the very thought seemed preposterous. She was my ward, too, and I, (lordoii Vane, bad been long considered by the world as a confirmed woman-hater. Yet I bad learned to love her, though I felt that she wits as unattainable as a star. I stood alone in the library one evening, waiting for her to come down-stairs. We were going to the opera that night, Lilla and I, together with her chaperon, my elder sister. I would have declined gladly, had any reasonable excuse presented it self for going. I knew that Charlie Fer ris would be there, that be would come to our box, and sit at Lilla's side, and ' whis per soft nothings in her car with bis dark, handsome eyes upon her tlower-like face. And of all her many admirers, Lilla showed this young man the greatest apparent preference. She was nocoijitette iinj I felt certain that she loved him, and so I shrank to-uight from the ordeal through which I must pass. Lilla Dale was an orphan and a heiress, thu ouly child of an old college friend of my own, who when he died, three years before, had begged me to take charge of his daughter. Lilla's mother had been dead four years, and there was no one else to care for the girl but strangers. I con sented to receive her, and Mrs. Lewis, uiy widowed sister, came to take the place of a mother to Lilla. The girl had been sent to the best academy in tho city, had grad uated with honors, aud was now a full fledged lady, as she laughingly declared. An heiress, and the most beautiful woman in the city of N , yet I, her middle aged guardian, bad dared to love her. Alone in my library I fought a desperate battle with my heart that night, for I was ashamed of my own weakness, and realized my folly to its full extent. Charlie Ferris was young, rich and handsome. Looking at it from a worldly standpoint, the match was every way desirable. 1 knew that I bad no right to murmur, so 1 resolved to pursue a stoical calmness, ami await the issue of events. A light foot fall pattering down the stalls, a sweet dear voice humming softly a bar from '"II Tro vatore," a moment later, the library dunj' swung open and J.HIa Hashed into uiy presence. 1 caught my breath with a wild pang at my heart, for 1 had never before beheld her so beautiful, so peerless. She wore a rich dress of peach-blossom silk, with a great deal of white lace about her, and pearls milky pearls usm her white arms and throat, and iu Iter golden hair. She fluttered to my side, and slid otto little whitc-glovod hand into my own. "Am I presentable,, gnardy ?" she cried gayly, lifting her dark blue eyes to my lace. I tried to answer, and answer lightly, but a voice, a warning voice, kept whistH'ring in my ear : "Ni tair so won drotis fair : but not for vou. Shi; looks upoii you as upon a father." And my heart sank, tor 1 telt that it was true. Turning, I caught a strange look in the beautiful eyes watching my face in pained silence. "(iuardy," she said softly, sympatheti cally, "what m the matter? Have I dis pleased you any way ?'! "No," I answered, coldly, and with i mighty effort choking down my emotion Then I stepped back a few paces and al lowed my eyes to sweep over the jierfect lace and torm lor an instant. '"You are looking unusnully well, Lilla, I pronounced quite coldly. A shadow passed over her face, and she turned away. Mie caught up her white cloak and jew eled fan which she had deposited with hci bouquet upon a table, and uiy henrt thrilled foolishly, for I recoguiied the flowers; 1 had scut them to her room not a half hour before. Her eyes caught my glance; the sweet lace flushed. ' '! selected your flowers; guardy I" she observed cxplamitively, '"there: were sev mil bouquets sent me but yours hariuo- nited best with my costume 1 I bowed coldly. That, then, was the secret of her choice. It did her credit, she were ouly a fashion plate, like the other women of her set, after all. Hut, 1 must not let her dream tha miserable truth the st-cret of my hopeless love. I was proud and sensitive, and I felt that I had almost ratlin die, than that she should know. The carriage came then. Mrs, Iswi a stately matron in black velvet and diamonds appeared, ;nd we were soon whirling away to the Opera House. The opera was "II Trovatore," and tho tower scene was in progress when Charlie rerris finally made his way to our box. Hand soma Charlie, as he was called in his own set, with a pair of dark Spanish eyes which all the ladies admired, autl many wor shipped, and a smile of rare sweetness. An upright, honorable gentleman he was, also. Even now, with a heart torn with conflicting emotions, I could not but ad mire the truth and acknowledge mentally, that I could find no blame in his charac ter. , Yet, as he lounged in hut own grace ful, indolent fasbios at LiUs'i side, whis pering softly, and with occasional glances into her sweet lace, Irom those glorious eyes, I felt an insane desire to take his life. Jealous! and at my agi. I, (ior- lon Yanc, the "woman-hater" ! I laughed little at my own incongrous thoughts, but "tho under side of uiy lntigh was tears." Well, tho interminable opera was over finally, and I had managed to survive; but I mcntidjy determined that this flight's torture should be the last; I would never submit to it agaiu. To sit calmly nud watch my successful rival as ho won from before my very eyes the priceless treas ure for which I would have laid dowu my life! Arrived at home I found a telegram awaiting mo. I read it, and a black cloud of anguish and despair seemed to fall upon my hie. H was ternblo sorrow lor far ! The bank in which Lilla's foituno had been deposited hail suspended mid she was a beggar. According to the unwise terms of her father's will, the entire fortune had n thus invested, the interest maintain ing the girl in extravagance; this extrav agance would, of could, illy prepare her for the sudden the awful change in her fortunes. I could not tell her; I recoiled from ' the very thought. Perhaps, too, there was some mistake, or at least some thing might be saved from the wreck. I determined to go at once to the neigh boring city, where tho bank was situated. 1 would say nothing to J.illa, but start on the next train, which, as I knew, would leave at five in thu morning. For a long time I sat alone, turning the matter over in my mind, and longing With all my heart for the power to comfort and cure for her. 1 was not wealthy, although in mite comfortable circumstances; if itwvrc ouly ;' ! I caught iny breath with a gasp, for I felt that I was treading upon dangerous ground. It was passed three o'clock when 1 left the library, where I bad been sitting, to go tip-stairs to my own room for a few articles of clothing prepara tory to my journey. At the head of the stairs I paused involuntarily, for .a faint souud reached my ears. It proceeded from Lilla's sleeping apartment, and it sounded like suppressed sobbing. With out pausing to reflect, I stole to the door; it was slightly ajar. I hesitated as Lilla's voice fell upon the silence. She was weeping bitterly, and I heard her murmur in broken accents: Oh, my darling! How can I give him up? Ho does not care for me, audi I love him so ! I started as if 1 had been struck a blow. Charlie Ferris had certainly never con ducted himself in my presence at least with reprehensible coolness toward my beautiful ward. What, could she mean? I tried to hope that she would become his wife; for ho had wealth, and she need never miss the luxuries to which she had always been aectislotneil. And 1 was glad for her sake. " Yes, better to lose r than to know that the day might come when she wotihi stiller want. I issed on silently to my own room and Lillla never knew. Arriving at the city, the scene of the bank disaster, I found that the telegraphic message hail told me tho simple truth Lilla was pcnnilev. My heart was very heavy ns I entered the train, two days later (having passed the interval in trying tu save something, even a trifle, but liml- ; little to hope tor), and so was whirled on toward home once more. I could only In to comfort myself with tho assurance that Charlie lvrrii would ask to be his wife, and all would be well. I ascended the steps of my own house and entered the door. It was just at dusk but the gas had not yet been lighted; I icned the door of a small reception-room, on the left of the entrance hall ; there was but a faint lilit t'roin a half-open window hrnuded in misty lace. In the seuii- dai kness of the room I stepped forward, nud then then the. perfume of violets was all about me; and a pair of soft arms went around my neck, and two sweet red lips touched mine. "My darling! " the voice of the woman I loved whispered softly, "you have come back to me !" 1 understood. Iu the faint light she had mistaken lne for Charlie Ferris. h well ! at least I bad hat) that kiss; no power on earth could rob me of that. 1 stepped to the window and threw it open wider expecting to see her recoil in con fusion alarm. To my utter amazement she stood there facing me with a sweet smile, and a lace that changed not. She was till iu white, with knots of vio lets here and there, half hidden iu her corsage, and nestling in the braids of her sunny hair. With an effort ut self-control, which was a failure after nil, I came straight to her side. Lilla," 1 examined eagerly, "did you mean that kiss for me?" She smiled aud maided her gold head archly. "I mount it for Vou, (iuldoii Yuue!" she answered; ''you are the blindest of men not to see that I I " Her head was on my breast now, and her white arms around me. It seemed to me as though the sweet dream mut vanish, and I awake more wretched than before. "I have loved you alwJys, dear!" the sweet, low voice went on; then with a swift, upward glance she added : "Oh, (ronton, your coldness has cost me many a bitter tear!" Ah I I knew then that I was not dream ing, ami the bliss and rapture of that hour, can never be portrayed. We were married not long uftcrwuril, and I have been since then the happiest man in the round world. For, although she was only nineteen and I more than twice her age when she became my wife, we have neither of us ever once regretted the day when (inrdun Vance wedded bis beautiful young ward.

AMHtKW JOHNSON'S NKKVK A Tennessee man gives me I ho follow ing story of the bravery of Andrew John sou : "dust precluding the war," said he, "Andrew Johnson had many enemies in Tennessee, nnd once, when ho wits billed for an evening speech at Nashville, the re port was spread that if he dared to speak lie would be mobbed, and perhaps assassination. hen the hour for assem bling came the housu was already thronged and Andy Johnson was on thu platform. He promptly arose, and going tu the front took a pistol from his pocket and cocked it. He then opened the meeting by saying : "(ientlemen and fellow-citizens, it is meet that when free men assemble for the dis cussion of important interests everything should be done decently and in order. Now, I have been informed that a part of the proceedings ol the present occasion is the assassination of the individual address ing you.' "Here be grasped the pistol firmly with his right hand, threw open his coat with bis left hand and continued: 'I propose that this matter be the first business taken up. If any man come here to-night for that purpose let him not speak, but shoot.' At this there was a pause and no one replied. 'Ah,' said Mr. Johnson, 'I set I have been misinlormed. I will proceed with the meeting. "And," concluded my informant, "there was not a ripple of dissent IU (lie hall that night.

So lookout, young men, before you go into matrimony, for it is a lottery in which most men eau hold but one ticket, and if that turns out a. blank, your whole life hud better be a blank, too. Luckily, no one need go into the wedded state with his eyes closed, as is the case with lotteries, and we judge all who are sensible enough to use their optica may draw a prize. A WOllD OF ro.MFOUT FOH I GLY (Jlltl.S. "Clara 1W e" says : I sincerely tlo not believe that a pretty face has anything to do with making a belle. The attractive or rcpcllaiit qualities are the principal causes. Sumo of the latter qualities in girls area haughty demcanor;sayingsmait things that make other coplc smart, an idea that it is only necessary to be civ'l to persons in a supposed higher soc'.r' scalo than her own, uiid the habits of eontr.dic.ing and snub bing. Most men have a good deal of self-approbation which they do not care to have disturbed by such causes. To be attractive a girl should be healthy, intelli gent but not "smart," industrious, amia ble, cheerful and willing to be pleased with small pleasures. Such qualities will make even a plain-faced girl attractive, if not a belle. Regard once inspired by such a girl lasts. Sl'.ASON AIM.K DOXT'S. Here are a uuinbcr of very seasonable hinls culled from an exchange, which will apply well to the warm summer months: Don't worry too. much. A person who is constantly fidgeting would Work him self into a refrigerator. Don't walk too fast. If you think you can get cool by pacing I ho streets at a break thick speed, tako thu shortest cut to an insane asylum. Don't b.i discontented. If you busy yourself hunting for a cool spot )ou'll sel dom hud it. Nt down and tako the weather as it comes. Don't grumble or growl- or find fault. A dog that barks the most dies the soonest. Don't talk too much politics. Healed iliscussions do not cool the atmosphere. Don t frown when you can smile. Cheefulness product's comfort. Poll t carry off every palm leat tau you get hold of. The owner of the fan may be a bigger mini than you, Don t wear heavy garments. II ueces- siv, pawn your Winter overcoat and buy an imitation sieruckcr. Also.be sure to wear your clothes loose, so that the air can cir culate. Don't eat too much fat ar heated food. 'Heated foods, any, an authority, "if used at this season, are best ut brcaklast tune. Cold boiled ham, tougtio or beef, good bread and butter and goml cold milk suit able summer lunch. Perfectly mature fruits, used raw, or fruit not quite ripe, well cooked, are also recommended. Don't till your rooms with too much furniture. Crowded apartments aro al ways warm. In Cuba, the Summer houses are cool, because everything in them is se lected to that end. The walls are high and bare, the furniture is scant and with out pudding ol any kind, ami tho por lien's are swung parllj open, so as to allow a Ir.n passage ol air. Punt work bv fits and starts. J lie even-going individual is always the most comlortalile: Don't drink l(M much ice water. The ice-water mania is one of the most deadly ol American habitants. Don't let your imagination Hiako the weather worse than it really is, and, above all Don't tell everybody ynu meet that it is a warm day. "FOKdlVIJ ANI FOIMUKT." I fall persons would forgave and forget what a great increase there would be iu tho happiness of this life. Opportunities for revenge would no longer sought or desired .Many dark clouds which arise in our moral skies, produced by malice, might be instantly removed by those musical words "I will lorgct and lorgive. Lxcited passi'.ns would be quieted nud there would be kind words and cheerful hearts We often hear tha expression "I can for give, but I cannot torgct. II we truly forgive then to forget is a natural result. When we speak of forgetting a wrong do not wish to be understood to say that all remembrance of it is entirely obliterated but that the in tint is so occupied by better thoughts of frien Iship and love that the thoughts remains in oblivion until some circumstance prodtl 'os a recollection ol it but when it docs recur to the mind it has not power to excite tiny feeling of displeas ure. Willi such regulation ol our thoughts and passions, our lives will eon tain less gloom aud more sunshine. Our holies may be raised up to the verge of bright realization ; our ambition bo made the highest and most ennobling; our laith be made strong, all bound as the golden chain of love the fruit of forgivcneso and and our barque will glide over the un seen bund of the onuipotent; it will guide us past all danger, and as we near the shining shore we shall see the dolden ( ity which will be our Eternal Home., We may forgive and forget. i, Alton w ii. i. win.

Dispatches from liismurck, Dakota, state that on Friday a phenomenon never be fore witnessed attracted tho attention of aauy people. To the naked eye it had the appearance uf a great square cloud. With the aid of a strong magnifying glass the writer saw an uviul shower rain falling without tout-king the earth. Two clouds were visible, one exactly above the ether. The rain cloud was above and the light feathered cloud below. A heavy shower poured fi.r several minutes from the upper cloud. The cloud below caught cveiy drop of water and aliserbed it. Litrbt clouds ap peared to tenie liom all directions to aid in eheatiig old earth of a rain The color of the lower cloud changed rauidW, and is expanded from a small summer cloud to a massive rain gatherer. In a fcwminuUi the upper cloud had entirely disappeared Through the glass the aeiial rail-fall had the appearance of a shower o pearl. The sun shining through the drops formed pi is matio hut of charming brilliancy. - The cloud passed off to the southeast, gatberiig am as it went. ADVERTISEMENTS.
