Mjme rare tropical scene. The two long
tables betiding under a gorgeous outlay of
riihest viands, culled from oriental clinics
and sun kised isles of .southern seas, were
arranged along the side walls. The space
between the tables were crowded with ex
otic plants, whose perfume permeated the
air. Among the plants was a sparking

of her must ardent admirers, (Vleua took a
sciUctcred seal on the balcony. The
cat in and gentle seen1 without, seemed to
rest her eye;, which were weary of ruhly
hedeeked forms and glaring lightt of the
ball room. The canal below stretched
like a silvery serpent in the di-taiiw. A

St. Mark Stjuare greet her gate. A long,
slim gondola crosses the filvery wake,
leaving behind a million sparkling, flash
ing jewels dancing upon tho water.
Ahl she recognize the t'r:o-i!e looking
craft. It is (iuido's gondola. Heavens!
if h should appear now, what would be
the consequences? Such wer her
thoughts as she leaned over tho baleouy
rail and peered down. And who is
Guido?
A poor gondolier; her lover 1 At her
feet belted knights had sued. Tit
highest among the Venetian nobility had
wooed Celeua nnd Guido succeeded in
winning her heart.
The gondolier was poir, humble; his
birth was hiden in mystery. For such as
he to lift eyes in love to this ruro star,
was almost sacrilege.
And yet, his sweet voice, soft, brown
eyes had touched the maiden's heart as
none others had. In the solitude of her
chamber sho confessed her love to the
I Virgin, whose sweet face beamed duWa
upon her from the altar.
A low, soft whisper reached her ears.
She leaned further over. There just be
neath the cornice, clinging to the heavy
vines which reacln d to the water, was! iuido.
Ills face was upturned. The moonbeams
falling upon his features, disclosed the
enraptured emotions thrilling his heart,
which hniie from his eyes and played
about the ii lit it r-. of his mouth.
Nearer he draws; and then, reaching
hiT hand iInwii, Cclena caresses the long
curls which fall about his neck, as her
lip-t softly utter, "(iuido, He presses a
kiss upon the lily lingers, which sends a
thrill through her bring. Then, one
mre cltiirt and his head is on a level
with hers. Their hps meet in one long
kks, whose very touch si-nds a dart of
exrpiUte rapture to each heart. Her
voice in soft whispers caution him, half re
proachfully for this bold, dangerous in
trusion. "Ah, Cclena, light of my soul, angel of
my heart, reproach me not. I could not
sleep, could nut live till morn had I not
come.''
Mln-h ! (Iuido, not so loud. The room
within contains jealous ears. There is
much danger in this meeting; for, if you
should be discovered, all, all would he
lost."
"My love braves all, for one sight of
you, darling," he uttered.
'Yes; mid my love is yours. Guido;
but we must use the utmost caution," she
whimpered.
"And will it ever have to be caution,
dearest? What will be the cud- the re
sult?"
'( Hi, (Iuido, what in' be the result?"
And then ere further words were
pokcn, a rude hand tore the curtain aside
and Foil glared upon the lovers.
'Furies! a man! Cclena, child, what
means this ?''
Hefore the terrified girl could speak,
the balcony was crowded with guests,
drawn there by the loud, angry words of
Foli.
Guido was a man, and his henrt was
bursting wilh anxiety, now that he knew
their love was no longer secret. What I
would Foli think? What would the
haughty uohles think, who bent upon
him looks of hatred and scorn? He
drew himself up over the balcony and was
nude prisoner in an instant.
"One word. Seigm-r," uttered he, as
the men were about to drag him away.
'Not a Word! Away with him ! On
the morrow the Council sits," thundered
the enraged father.
A shudder passed through (Ylciia's
form. She knew what the result W"iild
be. A life -lou imprisonment or the
axe !
Wheti the morning sun rose, all Von
jiv was wild with the news. Celen.i,
daughter of the stem Chief of the
Council, loved a nameless waif, a com
mon gondolier. The proud nobles who
had sue ! fur her hand were mail with rage.
Their love had been scorned. With all
the wealth and distinction belonging to
their class, tln-y were not able to move
the fair one's heart, the rarest maiden
Venice.
With the power which Foli possessed
it was an easy matter to trump up some
charge against the young man, whose only
crime hail neen to Uare to Iitt hts eyes in
love to f.iir Cclena.
The workings of the mysterious coun
cil of ten are beyond th; itower of the
uuNide world to reason against or gii'msiy
More crimes than one have been done by
this orth r, whose very name caused the
highet in the city to tremble.
Condemned to imprisonment for life-
Fur what? Conspiracy against the gov
ernment. No man was ever less j;uiltv
but, the pride of the chief is outraged,
d he must be appealed.
Guido stepped upon the Ihide of
iiihs. I hruimh the small window tm
unbuilt streamed. Ah, how his ?ad
.yes dwell upon the scene before him
Then reached afar the canal over wh
rippling waL r he had so often guided his
gondola. There hung the golden sun, I
whose beams scent to mock him in his '
ry. Never again could he hope to
upon the glories of earth, of water,
or dunk into his very wml the sunlight.
He turned from the caseim-nt, and a
long-drawn sigh welled from his bosom.
The cruel walls too!; up the echoes, and
tossed thorn to an I fro like melancholy
whisperings of death dirges.
Pown, down into the chill depths of
the jri-'oti he vv.u conveyed. He was
thrust into n narrow, ill-smelling cell. The
guards passed out and the iron door
clanged shut, and Guido was burial i!rr
CelenaV maid called her; no respoiuc; all
was silent as death within her chamber.
The door was burst open nnd there upon
lkr knees her hands folded over her
breast, her head bowed upon tho altar
where the sweet face of the Virgin
beamed, was Cclena dead !
ller heart bad broken. Her love had
been her very life. The nbject of her
pure affection was doomed to a living
death by the. unjust decree of the council.
Life bad no further joys for her bruised
heart; and thus, with bowed head, lips
uttering prayers, she died in the presence
of her saint.
Five years pass, and one morning the
servant handed a note to Miguel Foli,
whirh read briefly as follows:
M mi kl Foi.i :
I desire an interview.
1 VMIHNfOt,
l'rinee of Carina.
"Show the gentleman in," said Foli
after glancing at the note.
The door opened, and a handsome,
richly-dressed man of "u or .V years of
age entered. Ills lueiu is iiohlc and
courtly; and his face
"My God! Where have 1 lint you be
fore?" ejaculated Foli, starting back in
irma.enieut as his eyes fell upon thi
ol In r's face.
"Met me ?" returned the Criuee. "You
have never met me, 1 think. Why do
you ask ?''
"Your face seems familiar to me. I low
ever, it may have been only a passing
fancy," uttered Foli, recovering his com
posure. "IVrhaps the resemblance will assist
me in solving a great mystery," said the
l'rinee.
"Take a seat, l'rinee; now, what can 1
do for you?" asked Fob, seating him
self opposite.
"Perhaps nothing; perhaps much. lo
you happen to know of a certain gondo
lier by the name of Guido?"
That name ! Celeiia's humble lover.
The man doomed to a living death by the
decree of the council, Miguel Foli rose
from his chair and sternly asked :
''What if I fo know of this (iuido?"
"What if you do? Well, you will, I
trut, give me some explanation concern
ing bi present location."
"First tell me, who is Guido?" asked
l-'oli.
' Willi all my heart," assented the
Prince. "He is the sou of noble par
entage, abducted when but a babe from
his home by Greek brigands. No trace
has ever been discovered of him, until
some five years ago, a gentleman who is
intimately acquainted with his family, met
a gondolier here in Venice, whose face re
sembles the family likeness "
"And (iuido is not his name ?"
"No; he is a nobleman with royal
lood in his Veins. He is tit to wed the
lughter of a king," proudly responded
the Prince, rising.
Who who are his parents?'' huskily
;tskcd Fob.
I am his father, Prince of Pinna.
His mother is the sifter of Marino Foliro.
dge of cilice."
A weak, gaunt man with lung, tangled
hair ami strairgliti'' beard was led from
loatht'soiiie dungeon. From his eyes
nil light of reason had fled. Five years of
solitude of a living death in tic damp
lark deplhs of the Venetian prioii, had
wrecked his mind.
The sorrow-stricken father returned to
Parma with his son, now an alien of
diattercd humanity.
Thus had Miguel Foli's miserable pride
iccoinplMied its Work; thus had the de
iTee of the terrible council plunged a
bright and happy nature into everlasting
gloom, and sent oue of F.ve's fairest
laughters to her God before her lime.

he ups ami downs of life are singu
larly exemplified in the cateer of a Gcr
man nobleman, who, being wealthy, fig
ured in high social circles in Washington
some years ago, but now is serving out a
sentence as a tramp in the Chicago work
house. He is said to be a man of fine
education, brilliant in conversation, and of
unusual ability. His first venture was in
a California vineyard, where ho tost much
money, and all other undertakings proved
equally unfortunate. His disappointments
sapped bis manhood, destroyed his en
ergy, and at length lie left his wife ami
felt into the ways of a common tramp,
with the result of being put to work for
the common good in the work-house. It
is not given to all men to be successful.
As Hill Arp suggested in bis article,
printed the other day, the
whole world is a vast field, where every
body is after a fashion preying on every
body else. e tlo not mean at all in a
lishoiiorable way, but what U to the ad
vantage of one is usually to the disad
vantage of some ollur person, and all
strive to obtain the advantage ol some
person. It has thus enroe about tlut the
measure of success which one meets wilh
the world is no real test of his merit or
demerit, for to ascertain that one must
have regard to the circumstances ot his
life and the character of those who strive
with him for the advantage. Success
largely dcpeiitls on opportunity, and yet
it is a part of our philosophy that con
tinued misfortune is not to be attributed
to "ill luck." but rather to want of capa
ble management.

KllMlKWAV. I'A , Maivh U. Joseph
Mai -lull and Frank, his brother, live
in Paguscahomla, five miles from this
place. A few days ago they loaded their
shotguns with fine shot and went out in
tin- win id near their house to shoot two
rabbits they had seen there. The bro
thers separated in the woods and bunted
along a bundled yards apart. They had
gone a quarter of a mile or so when Frank
heard Joseph veiling tor help at the top
of his lungs. Frank hurried in the tli-j
recti oil of the cries and did not reach the
spot a moment too soon. A big she bear 1
had Joseph down in the snow, and was
wrestling him aioiind so lively that his
clothes were already turn to tatters, and
his flesh was in a fair way to be used ill
the same manner. With a shout Frank
jumped into the space where the one -sided
tight was going on. His appearance
startled the bear, and she hastily reheated
behind the upturned roots o a ( illen tive.
ami disappeared in a big hole in the
ground.
"I jumped on that tree trunk about
three minutes ago to take a look around,''
said Joseph when he had got enough
breath back to talk, "and 1 heard a I'umiv
sort of a squeal somewhere about the roots I
of lh. tree. I stepped Up to see what
was making the noise ami discovered that
hole in the ground. I got down mi my
bauds and knees to examine the hole,
when, with a roar like a mad bull, that
big bear came bouncing out of the hole.
1 wasn't looking for bears, and 1 raised
up about as qui. k as any living thing ever
moved, and turned to run, 1 hadn't tak' ii
two steps when the bear lit square on my
back, and sker r-a-sb! Went the whole
back part of my clothes as if they bad
been ripped oil by a stroke uf lightning,
and away 1 went, flat us a pancake, tm
feet away. My gun flew as much further
tu anothei direction, and I began to hol
loa like a stu k pi:;. It.'l'ore 1 could get
on my feet the hear was ou top of me
again, and I was putting in mv best licks
to keep her troiu getting tier paws arounn
me again when voii came up. i ou can
see by the way things arc torn up aroiim
here that if the interview I had with that
bear wasn't warm and lively, then there
never Wits a lively three minutes spent
with a bear before. That bear's got a
family id' cubs in her den. and that's what
ails her."
Charging both bands of his gun with

"Stephen Girard's parents were so poor,"
said the Girard librarian, "that they were
unable cither t lucate or keep him.
When he was a mere boy he was turned
out to shift for himself. Poverty seemed
lo h ive had a hardening effect on some
of the r -st o! ilr family. Wlcu youii'
Si -vi'" wie. 1- a iir: the paternal mansion
he was naturally reluctant to depart, and
au Mer sister asM-tnl to quicken his steps
by p'ying tit bi.ioiniek aiross his shoul
ders, lie did not return there.
"Years have paved. The scene is
changed. One day at Philadelphia, at
the oh) mansion, uow a sailors' home
sea captain, known to Girard, was usher
ed into the presence of (he eccentric mil
lionaire. His face was wreathed iu suiili
as if he bad some pleasant intelligence to
impart which would make the heait of
Girard leap with joy. A pworly tlad wo
man htood in the hall.
"I met vour sister in France," said the
captain.
"My sister! Saw ,im tb- Db uV
claimed (iilard. with that eloquent and
inimitable rdiru of tlm shoulders which

The sisti r and the captain entreated.
, bill tiiraid was implacable. The imjital
wound- iiitli-t"d by the unlucky broom
slick had made an iudellible impression
upon his mind that no tears id remorse on
the part of his unfortunate sister c uild
obliterate. The eaptaiu obeyed the be

nis to her hoim- and poverty.

flie following excerpt is going the
rounds of the religious press, having been
taken from a recent sermon. It is par
ticularly appropriate at this season, when
most of the churches are given to revival
work, and will, im doubt, furnish food for
thought to even th, greatest enthusiast:
"The religious revival we ought to pray
for is a revival that shall ailed the morals
of the church as well as its worship and
religious sentiment, and ennoble the whole
life of those who hear the Christian name.
The power of the church dek-nds quite
as much on the stead last justice, the
courageous trill hi'ulucss, tin' tender mercy
of Christian jK-ople, as on the soundness
of their creed and the fervor of their re
ligious zeal. 1 loug to see the day when
the faith id' the church shall be st strong
that the promises of God wi'l be the ade
quate consolation of all Christian people
in their earthly sorrows, and when the
great hope of immortal glory wilt fill their
hearts with perpitual gladness and their
lips with a perpetual song; when the
church will be inspired with a more tet-
Teiit love and thankfulness in the pres
ence of the en of Christ and with a
more passionate loyalty to His throne,
wheu worship wilt Cease to b a weariness,
and wheii iu prayer H C'mslbu Uk-u
will approach tied wilh perfect confidence
iu His power and willingness to auswer
them. Hut 1 also long to see the time
when the church will discover in the
teichings and example of Christ the out
lines, of u far diviner morality; when the
noblest natural ethics will look Hor mid
dim compared with the ideal of perfla
tion for which the church will strive, ami
which, in the strength of the tqiirit of
God, it will largely fulfill; wheu the equity
truthfulness, frankness, courage, industry,
patieuee, temperance, self sacrifice, pub
lic spirit, gentleness, charity of those who
bear the Christian name wilLJ

see an old h.dy sitting in the arm-chair at

more exertion than a woman, but at least
it remains true that he cannot without
losing his laughter, bis good cheer, bis
gentleness and his love and trust iu man

find a frail old mother whose spirit has
been worn threadbare and unlovely by
what she has endured. A sweet old

not quite so common. As thy day so thy

This is more apt to be a woman's history
