I say deseended, but I uni hardly corrn t, for these broad lands and these nieeless jewels were mine only uinhr the will of my iirandlather, and that will contained n proviso which I had just lr.iiii.il for the first time. I was to mar ry ltaudolih Heath, the ward and adopted son of my ejrandl'aihi r. or else the entire property was to go to this self-sauie Ran dolph. The will had just been read. The fu neral .rue-ts, or at least, the most import ant of tbein. bad listened to it in lliedraw iiiiM'oom below, the walls of which were bun;.' with portraits of my I'cliuar ancest ors, handsome men and lovely, golden haired women. 'Charlotte," said my aunt, when the reading of the will was ended "Charlotte, my dear, you must invite our friends for the night. You are mistress now." ' I shall never lie mistress of Pelniar Hall, Aunt .Mcirdauiil." I said, firmly. She clutchid my arm, her eves wide with wonder. "And why not pray?" "ttccauseot the proviso. 1 will nevtr wed Randolph Heath." Her face whitened to the hue of death She was a loan widow, and I was her idol and she coveted all these jewels and rich ai res fur my heritage. Kor a moment we I ou I breathless. ' Hut lixiJolph Heath's in Australia,1 siiggesliil a mend, "ami you are mistress at least until he returns." l'oor aunty caught at thin last hon'with ii ijaspof relief. "So you are, my dear," she put in "we'll leave all these disagreeable thill" to be settled ill the future. To-night, friends, we will shut the doors against the storms and lie com fort able." She swept off tow ard the glowing parlor. followed by her gucstn, while 1 fled away to my own chamber. The allel noon, as I have said, had turn ed into rain and thu wave thundered on the shores of the bay close by with u bourse cry, like a human heart in pain. I pace my room restlessly. I could not marry this Randolph Heath, whoso face I had not looked upon since tlio days of my curly childhood, I could not do it, for another face arose before mo, in the face of ti c man I loved. . A poor man, lundlciM and unknown, yet whohaiigrown an dearto mc in the few brief months of our summer ac quaiutanoe that to give him up were worse than death. Vet I was a Dohuar, and it ww a aura trial to luw mv hairitai. low the Doluiar jewel. All tli Delmar women before ma had worn these match less old diamonds ; and must I. alone of them, bo diaiiiherited and duwerless. "Yes, cheerfully," I said; "sinee to keep them 1 mutt give upthe choice of my heart Dear, dear summer days !" For it had been on a visit to a school friend, who lived in one of the loveliest con u ties of Pennsylvania, that I had met the preceding June, Herbert Stanley. Kor the first time in my life I had found in him a perfectly congenial aoul. Wo liked the aamo poetry, prolcm'd the same music, ad mired the same scenery. Ah I what deli cious dayi those were. We rode, wo walked, we sailed, we read together. Our acquaint ance soon past into intimacy, and from that ripened into love. Never could I forgot the day, tlio bliss ful day, when my hopes became a cer tainty. Herbert had asked mc the evening before if I would go with him in his boat. No kui'dit of old could have handed me into the little vessel more rev erentially than he did. How manly he looked! How slronir and self-contained! My heart beat fast, for something in his manner told me what was coming, but 1 was inexpressibly happy, nevertheless, lie d for about ball' an hour; then stop ping, lie lay upon his oars, and looking me in the face like n brave heart as be was, told bis tale, though with many a hesitating word and many u look of mix-. Should I give such a one up? Never! Vet thu temper of my thoughts was such that 1 could not stay iu-doors!" I left the house and ran down to the shore of the bay, having first thrown a shawl over my bead. The storm and darkness was ter rific, and the tide was coining in with a hoarse, sullen cry. The salt mist lrenehed my hair, tlio winds tore and hiieked around mc, and overhead hung the pitch-black sky. Suddenly I beard a step and, looking up iw Herbert himself. I started with sur prise. I have been hovering about all day," he said, "had riven un bona of see. g you. lint still I could not tear my If away." "Yuu did not doubt tne ?" I cried. Ob, Herbert!" "My look, lny tone, even more than my Words, reassured him. Thank tiud!" be said, drawing a deep breath. "Thank (lod! t is not true, then, what I hear. You nre not going to betray me ?" "Betray you ?" "I was told you were to be disinherited unless you married Randolph Heath, and that the temptation has been too great for you. I did not believe it. And yet, and yet forgive me, darling, I sec I was wrong I was fearfully afraid." "Be alraid no lunger," I whispered. nestling to his broad breast. "What are broad acres and gleaming jewels to your learlove? I am yours and yours only." He bent and kissed me. After a while he said. " ilo not fear for your fidelity, but I do fear for the persecution you may suffer. It is but a short walk to the little hurcb. I know the rector; he was, I find, one of my old schoolmates, lie mine tu-night and I will go away content. Not till you permit it shall the marriage be made public." "I am yours," I said, "but let it be to morrow evening. 1 will tell lny aunt in a day or two afterward, l'oor aunt, it will need that time to prepare her." It was arranged, therefore, that I should meet my lover at the same hour n st ovening, and with a nartimi embrace I hurried in, lest I should be missed. Aunt Mordaunt was in a flutter of ex citement the next morning. She had just received a letter saying that Ran- lolph Heath bad returned and would be at Delmar Hall by sunset. "Now, Charlotte, my love," she said bustling into my chamber lielore 1 was awake, "do try and look your best to night. Your are a beauty, I know, but a charming toilet seta you off amazingly. hay off your heavy crape just for to-night and wear that white silk with the lily-of- tlie-valley trimmings. You must fasci nate this Randolph Heath at thcuutsct; it will be quite comfortable to bare biui at your feet, for you must marry him, my dear; you are too sensible a girl to make a beggcr of yourself." I only smiled in answer, and I suffered my maid tu array mc in the dainty silk. But at set of sun, instead of receiving Randolph Heath in the grand parlors of the hall I was spreading away with lny lover toward the old ivy-covered church, built of bricks imported from Kngland a century and a half before ; the church where the Helmars for five generations bad been married. In tlio soft glitter of the early starlight we wcro wedded. An hour after I was home again. Rut as I nsoended to my room I reme'inliered that I bad looked lny last upon the blinking lMmar diamonds and on the broad lauds of the hall. 1 had hardly closed the door behind me when my aunt entered. "Charlotte, you must come down at once; you must indeed," she said. "Ran dolph is in the drawing-room and asks to sec you. Don't he odd. Here, Lucile, do your young lady 'a hair. t stood iiert!iin. "And now, my dear, do put on your diamonds," continued poor auntie, flutter ing round me; "you should always wear gems, they become you." "But, auntie, Iho diamonds are not mine," I began, wishing time to think I was almost ready, then and there, to tell the truth. But I pitied auntie and hesitated. "But they will be, my love, as aoon as you marry Randolph Health," she urged. "I shall never marry him," I an swered. "We shall sec, my love. At any rate. come down and welcome him. That much is duo, at the least." This decided me. It was his due. Aa we descended to the grand drawing-room where my jjrandfather's adopted sou awaited us, I stopped for a moment on the stairs and gazed around me with al most a sigh of regret. In a few days I must go out from the dear old place dis owned and disinherited. 1'oer auntie ! the blow will fall heavily on her. Shutting my band involuntarily over the marriage ring upon my finger, I fol lowed my aunt, Ileal t in mouth. A tall figure arose as we entered and advanced to meet us. 1 beard my aunt's warm word of welcome, and then I felt my own hands grasped, and looked up. 1 cried out in a lenient, for the slranger was Herbert Stanley, my ncwly wedded husband. "Cau I hope that you will ever for give lue?" he slid, with a smile. "I am Randolph Heath. 1 have known of the proviso to your grandfather's will for years. Rut as I wanted you to love me for myself; if you could, I planned to meet you last summer. Can you forgive me?" I looked up into bis dear, kind face. "No matter who you are, or what you planned," I answered, putting ray hand in his, "I forgive you, for I love you." Then we told the story of our marriage. Aunt Mordaunt listened in horrified amaze- IllCllt. "An indiscreet thing, to say the leasti my love," she said; "you might have com mitted a grave mistake. It is all right, since you've married Mr. Heath. But really, my dears, you must have a wed ding. Yes, in order to preserve the pres tige of the old name, if nothing more, we really must have a wedding, and marry you over again." And she did ; and it was a most mag nificent affair. The old ball was in a blaze of light, and crowded with noble guests, and I wore point lace and the old Delmar diamonds. Rut I was not half so happy as on the day when I first heard from lny husband's lips that be loved nit. heard it that day iu his boat. A OKM Or' OK.YTOHV. At a social party given to the members of the knell and bar, at Jackson, Teiin., during a session of the Supreme Court. Col. Landonn C. llaynes uttered the fob lowing gem of oratory. During the even ing (ien. X. B. Forest arose and said : ticiitlcmcn, I propose the health of the eloquent gentlemen from Kast Ten nessee, a country sometimes called the "Ijod-forsakcn." Mr. Hayes responded : "Mr. Chairman and fientlcmcn, I plead guilty to the 'soft impeachment.' I was born in Kast Tennessee, on the banks of the Wautauga, which, in the Indian vernacular, means 'beautiful river,' anil beautiful river it is. I have stood upon its banks in my childhood and looked down through its glassy waters and have seen a heaven below, and then looked up and beheld a heaven above reflecting, like two mirrors, each in the other, its moon ami planets and trembling stars. Away from its banks of rock and cliff, hemlock and laurel, pine and cedar, stretches a vale back tu the distant mountains as beauti ful and exquisite as any in Italy or Switz erland. There stand the great 1'naka, the great Hoan, the great Black and the great Smoky Mountains, among the loft iest in America, on whoso summits the clouds gather of their owu accord even un the brightest day. There I have seen the great spirit nf the storm, after noontide, go and take his evening nap in bis pavilliou of darkness and of clouds. I havo then seen biiu aroused at midnight as a giant, refreshed by slumber, and cover the heavens with ;!ooui and darkness; have seen him awake the tempest, let loose the red ligbtuiiigs that ran along the mountain tops for a thousand miles, swifter than an eagle's lit in heaven. Then I have seen them stand up and dance like angels of light iu the clouds, to the music of that graud organ of uature, whose keys sccincd to have been touched by the fingers of the Divinity iu the ball of eternity, that rescinded in notes of thunder that re sounded through the universe. Then 1 have seen the darkness drift away beyond thchorizou and tlio mom get up from her saffron bed like a queen, put on her robes of light, conic forth from her palace in the sun, and stand tiptoe uu the misty mountain top, and while night fled from before her glorious faeo to his bed-ebam- bcr at the pule, she lighted the green vale olid beautiful rivur, when' 1 w born and played in childhood, with a smile of min-hiiie. "0 ! beautiful laud of mountains, with thy sun-piiiiitod cliffi, how con I ever for get thee ?" Gen. Forrest stood stupefied while Col. Haynes pronounced these marvelous sen tence, and said he would not have been more amaied if he had been struck by the lightning's flash from the smniit of Smoky Mountain, "A man of genius is ono who ean bar row money of editor," says an exchange. Rut a man who can borrow money from the same editor twice ia a prodigy. "This is a nice time to come homo and a nice state you're in," she said. "Nice timet nice state! thanks, lovely. I thought you were going to scold me." T1IK OltKilN OF MAX. One of tlio delight days of last week, a young lady, well known iu the exclusive first circles of San Francisco society for unrivaled personal charms and elegance of accomplishments, was driven around to make a congratulatory call upon a married lady friend who was happily convulcsing from that occasional sacred event ia the lives of wedded ladies, which, far from being a sickness, is the perfect culmina tion of their health. She was shown into the parlor, and for a few minutes required to arrange for the reception in that room where mother and child were doing as well as could be expected, was left with no other to entertain her than the only sou and heir of the house, Ma.-Ui Charles, then iu his fourth year. But Charlie was fully equal to the situation, and promises to grow up into an ornaiueiit of society that will never be abashed by beauty, bow brilliant, into the painful negative of "no conversation." After souiu unessential preliminary remarks, Master Charles ap proaehed nearer tlio visitor and, lowering bis tone into the confidential, asked: "Miss ,oo dot a baby?" The young lady gave one swift glance around to assure herself there wus no other bcarci of this pertinent question and replied: "No, Charlie, I never did. Is nut this a beautilul day?" "And ain't oo never doin to have no baby?" persisted Charlie, decliiiing to enter on the templing conversational side-track of the weathci. "My boy, I can't tell. Tell me all the names of whom those aril the photo graphs." "And don't on wnnt a baby?" "Why, Charlie, what a close questioner you are. If you are not careful you will grow into one of those uewspaper inter viewers, and then what will your poor mamma think of you?" "Because," continued Charlie utterly refusing to be switched off, "I know where oo tan det one. The doctor bought my mamma one, and he kii pth tbeiii in hith oflith. You J litis do down Kllith tbreet to Martet threet and den oo do down Martet tbreet to Tamey threet, and den on do down laruey threet evir tlio iar and deu oo do up a lot tbairth and tbatb where he keepth cm. And they're awful cheap, too. My papa bathn't paid for mv man is baby yet, but heth doin to." "Well, Charlie, I'm sure I'm much oblige to you fur your full directions, and 1 11 know just where to go." "Oh, Mith , oo needn't do. I'll tell my papa just ath thoon ath ever h turns home that oo want a baby and he'll det one for oo, and " That young lady seized that little boy by his two shoulders, ami, leaning over so as to look full into his eyes, she said, with an expression lent by sudden tenor: "See here, Charlie, listen to me. don't want any baby yet. and if you ever say anvtbiiig about it to your papa I'll never like you any more at all, never, never, never. .Viw, will you promise "Well, if on don't waul a baby I won't but. I t ot everybody liked Ui have pabith I d..." The interview was here terminated by the entrance of the servant to usher the visitor into the presence of the convalcscBt lady. MYSTERY OF HONEY-MOOXS The courtship, the engagement, the cer emony are over. The bridegiiHUii bund: his bride unto the carriage and the honey moon begins. Now observe one of the most singular facts in the whole history of courtship, a fact to which there is no kuowu exception. The bridegroom never can recall the first words spokeu by him to the bride iu that eariiage. Why? Tb.ii piestion has beeu asked a hundred thou sand times, and never satisfactorily answer ed yet. Some attribute the forgetfuluess to joy; some tu confusion; some fancy the words are of such an extremely romantic nature, the man finds it mole consistent with his dignity nut to recall them. The answer is none ot ttiese. It is much more prosaic and practical. The secret of for- gell'iilnesa is that he h is already said to her everything he could think would iu ti rest her, everything that din's ititeiest hiiu. His conversational roourc are ex haustcd and he has nothing to say. In stead of au llllsirtallt Ntch. he utters some dreamy coiuuioiiplace, throws him self back in the cushions, devoutly thank ing heaven "the thing is over." Thus, before the honey. moon is five minutes old. the bridegroom breaks down. AN VNPAIO-l'Olt HAUY. A'rtr i'nrk rimes. "You ought to have your baby bapti sed, 'Ilastus,'' said a member of the church to a colored father. Yes, sab, but I can't afford do cost." "It doesn't cost anything." "1 know it doesu't rust nuthin' to' dc mere act of baptism, sab, but yo' see I owe de minister 'i lor perfo'min' de weddin' ecr'mony a yeah ago, au' ho mougbt tl- ject, sab, to baptism' a baby dat hadn't I been paid fo'." HER 1-'1RHT HTOHY. A slory is told of a school girl graduate. She had a hanilkering after authorship. She worked bard and fiiiislu d the story, but no one would buy it, so her father being rich, paid for its publication in a New York story paper that is devoted to amateurs. She bad copied all the names of her characters from thu advertisements 'n a couutry newspaper. Imagine the effect in the country town from which the novelist hud drawn the names of her char acters. When the story reached therein itistslluiciits the villagers were horrified to find it slated iu cold type that the banker bad eloped with the Methodist minister's wife, who was uu adventuress from broad, that the lawyer of the town had rved seven years in an Knglish prison, uid was a tickct-uf-lcavc iiiuir, that the est buuitner iu town was au heir to u vast eslato wrongfully kept from him by village schoolmaster, a counterfeiter and general villain of the deepest dye. and that the piincipal merchant bad aban doned bis w ife and child iu a hovel in New York and started life anew with the proceeds of a burglary. It was thrilling. Alter the first four numbers there were ten lawsuits beguu. flic story was brought to a premature ud iu a few chapters. The author's pa has just compromised the last of the suits, and forbidden the rosy paths of literature to his offspring. I le has sent her to a cooking school. He says a literary e.iii- ius is too expen-ive a luxury to have in :iis family. He prefers a good cook. She may spread indigestion ou all sides, but r father can't be sued for it. Wlll.lti: A WOMAN GUTS THE REST OF IT. "Is there anything a man can do that woman can't do?" asked the woman's right advocate, as she adjusted her specta cles and looked around upon the audi ence. "That's it," said a bald headed man in one of the rear seats ; "that's it. I'ut it to 'cm straight. Dring these opponents of women suffrage right to their mutton." "You see," pursued the lady, "wo are n it without our friends among the male sex. Again I ask, is there anything a man can do that a woman can't do "Good, good I" cried the bald 'headed man, enthusiastically, "she can do more. A woman can do things that a man can't do. I know it." "You hear," said the lady, triumph antly, as she waved her hand, "you hear what the champion of our downtrodden sex savs; a woman can do things that a man can't do. Tell us, my friend, what a wtuu in can do." "She cau talk a man to death, by lingo, saiu tuc bald-uadcu man, "and It you could hear my old woman when she gets her tongue onto ni l you'd believe it, aad don't you furgit it." A wet blanket falls over the meeting. Boston W. AN ARK.VNSAW OPINION.

TIT FOR TAT. litttttut I ouriVr. The girls of Minneapolis have a club with the motto: "The lips that touch wine Will never touch mine." And tbe young men have formed an opposition club with the motto: "For lips red with dye We never will sigh." THE V1RTIES OF RATHIXG. The Esquimaux and the Iapps, it is said by travelers, never bathe their bodies. There is consequently on eloqurnco in their very presence that can be felt most sensibly, particularly in a close room. This peculiarity, however, is not. con fined to those two representatives of the human race, by any moans, nor to the climates in which tlu-y live. It may be laid down as au eslabli-hed principle that people who cultivate bodily cleanliness are civilized peuple; and we are not sure but that iu the exact ratio iu which such bod ily cleanliness prevuils their progress in civilization may be reckoned. The habit of taking good care of one's own body is something that every individual who is eutrusied with one ouubt to cultivate, if be would have a sound luiud, a comforta ble feeling of self-respect, and enjoy the health that belongs to him by birth right. Cleanliness is next to godliness, and is es sential to the highest development of god liness, as well as civilization. These truths are so generally recognized that every well-posted aud progressive man who builds a bouse in this age of the world devotes a portion of it to bathing t . eposes. Those who are obliged tu live in rented houses without bath-tubs, or if they can not afford those they have at least the old fashioned, orthodox wash-tub, which can be made to answer the purpose, and is made to do so iu thousands of instances. Science and invention, ho'.ever, those two restless spirits of modern times, have step p id in to the relief of those who have been obliged to depend upon such incon venient and inadequate means for secur ing personal cleanliness, and a rubber bath-tub, light, portable and capable of being used for vapor, site, foot or almost any other kind of bath, has been for years in use in many families, even where commodious rooms for bathing purposes already exist. A rubber bath-tub can be placed at the bed-side of an iuvalid, and will often save a doctor bill. There are many common diseases that hot water baths will cure. The inventor of the portable rubber bath is a publie benfactor. ORIGIN OF FAMILIAR PRO VERBS. Truth is stranger than fiction" was invented by an editor as a bead-line to a twenty line lie so monstrously extravagant that he knew nobody would believe ten words of it. The original use of this pro verb is continued unto this day. When ever you see that line in a newspaper don't believe a word you read under it. II make a spoon or spuil a horn," was I lie tnougnt ot a man who never made a spoon in all his life, and who kn w perfectly well that be couldn't make one, and only took a mean man's malicious delight in spoiling a horn.

"A wink is a good as a nod to a blind horse," was said by a man with a stiff nock, who wanted to nod but couldn't; al though wby any sane man should wish either to wink or nod at a blind hoise no man can ti ll.

Kast bliud, fast find," was remarked by a police justice when he bound the rough over to keep the peace aud fined him $15. 85. "All's well that cuds well," was said by a murderer who killed a dude. The name of the murderer is suppressed lest be should be overrun with more orders than he could fill, and thus compelled to hire a clerk, who would eventually run off with all the money. " Dead meu tell no tales," was the joy ous exclamation of the first editor who slew a man who came in with a continued story of sixty-five chapters.
