His eye was biblit nml clear, his check wore a healthy ulow. and no prince of the blood could have been more ipiietly courteous tbaii was bo. While sliu was still considering these thiiiL'S, the hack flopped. "Scvonty-cinht l'ieket. I'laec, miss," said the driver, jumping down from the box, "I Hi, have we reached it so soon ? cried Dorothy, starting out of u reverie. "(Hi, dear, I forgot to a-k you how miicli the fare would be !" 'lie dollar, miss," sail Kingston, smiling in spite of himself at her evi dent panic. Dorothy drew a sigh of relief. This surely was not the overcharge, she had dreaded. "If you would pleas carry the trunk up -tairs." said she, timidly, half-fearing lest tho Xew York hiiekdriver should cast the baggage, with imprecations, on the pavement, and decline further to servo her. Hut Charlie Kingston did nothing of the sort, lie only said, "Certainly, miss," and went up stairs at once, with tho trunk well balanced on his shoulder. "The fourth flatthis is ijuite right," said Dorothy. "I'm so much obliged to yon, driver !" And she timidly tendered the dollar bill, with a little silver dime. Kingston gave bail the vo'm. "One dollar in my fare," said he, calmly. ' Jiut for your trouble with the trunk, she faltered. lie smiled a little. "It is my busimss to take trouble," said he. "(luuil-even-inir, miss !" And before Dorothy could remonstrate he was gone. "1 never saw such a uiuu buck-drivor in my life," thought she tapped ot the duor. She listened. There was no voice, but there footsteps were inside. "I wonder, she mused, "if Xonnau will ohn tho door himself ?" For Dorothy, be it known, had planned a suipriso for her brotlwr fi ortn.in, who had come tu .New otk: about a yir sunt' to follow his trade of printer. Jorothy had hingisd to come, too, but, alas, sho was not a uniu, hut a woman ! Hot Uio b'T -tTio'lt'T hid ttinde tho family home w obuuiious to her that hu had iuddonly oonwiivcj the deter mination of coming to New York to live with Norman, thns neforing the (Ionium knot of affairs. "He will he glad to have me keep house for him," she thought; "and I, oh I would go to tho Very top of I'ike's l'eaktoget away from that woman I" So here the was, upon that winter night, rosy, smiling and euger, when the door was open at number Seventy-eight J'icketl riace. , "( )h, Murray- dear N'ormy I" And she lung herself, aubbiug, upon the broad shoulders that then eclipsed the one cheery gaslight. "I I beg jour pardon," faltered a deep Toice, "hot it isn't Norovy I Mr, Diver hasn't come in yet. I urn Itoyal Hrooks--his chiini, you know! You are his sister, 1 suppose; you look exactly like him. I'raysit down by tin; fire and warm yourself; it's very cold," And Dorothy, blushing to the very roots of her hair, obeyed. "Will he be ill soon ?" she stammered. "Yery Hoon now. May I give you n a nip of tea? flatter myself I'm ral her a dabster in the brewing of tea. We take turns in keeping house, we fel lows - N'ormy Diver, Hill lSlaku and me; ami this is my week. We club together nml nut this flat We couldn't stand the boarding house luniness any lonu'cr, you know, Mi.ss Diver." And thus chattering, to relieve her embarrassment, ho bustled around, and presently brought her a cup of very nice tea on a dusty Japanese tray, with two or three fossil biscuits and a slice or two of cold beef. Hefuro she had finished it, Norman himself camo in, fresh and breezy. "Who have you here?" he cried.

"And so," said Dorothy, holding tight on to Norman's hand, "I've come to live with you." You are the dearest little lass in all the world," said Norman, with a puzzled look; "but you ace, it won't work. There's the other follows, jam know. It's share dike in our house keeping all'airs, mid wo haven't any extra room." I could sleep on the sofa, with a rug over mo, and give Miss Pivot my den !" suggested Drunks, eagerly. "Your den is all very well for a rough chap like you," said Hill Hlake, in n su perior way, "but it wouldn't do for n young lady. I'd offer mine, but it is only lighted by a shall, with I'ilkius' baby crying all night, directly below. I'm use to it, but 1 don't think any one else could stand it." "She could stay with Kitty Cliff?" suggested llruoks, suddenly. "The Very idea!" shouted Bill, smit ing his knee. nd Xornian whispered to her that Kitty Cliff was the Jlnm-tr of lirooks ; a bright girl, who lived a few doors down the street. "You'll be sure to liko her, Dotty," said he. "And I can see as much of you as if you were here." Dorothy's lip trembled. "Hut 1 wauled tu surprise you," said she. "I wanted to be your little house keeper, Xoriiiy." ' " 1 "You luve turpriaed me, Dot," said ht. "And next spring, when the lease runs out, I'll give Hlake and llrooks notice to piit, and you shall come to live with me." He walked around with her, n little later, to Miss Cliff. Mi.ss Cliff received them with a smiling welcome. 'Oh, I'll take the very .'bust Jeiiro "nV: her," said she. "I'm so glaiMo have ymr for a room-mate, Miss Diver. And per haps I can get you a place in the store where I try en. Try on!" repeated Dorothy, in some bewilderment. "Jerseys mantles, you know," explained Kitty Cliff.

Dorothy blushed vividly. "Oh, Norman!" cried ahe, "I'm so sorry, but "Hut what?" said Norman. "You're not going back to the country ?" "No, not exactly," said Dorothy, "but I'm going to keep house for some one else, I'm engaged to Charlie Kingston." "Hello !" said Norman Diver. "Then the fellows may ns well stay where they are?"

"A 'figure.' AVIiat is a 'figure?' " "Why, that, woman is n 'figure.' She is to a cloak ami suiting establishment what a model is to a painter. Hy lneaas of her fbrui, style and handsome face many thousands of dollars arc made by tho pro prietor. I am a figure, tis, but unfortu nately I lack the magical ciiinbiuation to make a show figure, viz, beauty of face perfect lorni and superb style. There are in every large cloak and suiting establish ment three different kinds of figures, to wit: the show, the designing and the fitt ing figures.

The show figure women remain down stairs und try on cloaks for tho purchasers to see how stylish they arc and to make a selection. The cloak is tried on. The pretty-faced figure, perfect in form and stylish in movement, puts on a cloak and walks round for Mr. Huyor to see and admire, if lie will. Tho great point is the buyer will be absorbed in bulk ing at the pretty face of the figure and 1'ot pay much attention to the cloak, as it appears on exhibition. It freipi 'iitly ball pens that a show figure has simply a pretty face and stylo, without a perleel shape. But a fitting figure who can have any kind of face, must have a perfect form for the cloaks arc all fitted upon her when made and hoi body must bo of beautiful symmetry, so ns to conect and defects in the cut mid make up, The life of a fitting figure is dull and somewhat arduous, The designing figure has nil the designs cut from her shape.

Some Valuable Mit;ircNtlouM .'riim the Philadelphia Heard ol Health. Though ventilation of dwellings is essen tial to the health of the occupants, observe strict cleanliness in your person and elolli hig. I'athe daily, if you have the con venience.

He careful to avoid the use of alcoholic drinks. Do not suppose that their use will prevent the occurrence of disease. On the oilier baud, those who indulge in the custom are always fair subjects for disease. and when aitacked the intemperate are paitieularly in a condition to offer feeble resistance. Live temperate, live regularly, avoid all excesses iu eating crude, raw and indiges tible lood, especially cabbage, salid, cucum bers nnd unripe fruits. A greater safety will bo secured by boiling all water used for drinking purposes. I'urtiike of well cooked beef and mutton, rice well boiled, and avoid pastry aid laxative fruit.

It is sweet when there is no necessily for longer struggle, no desire for the furtherance of some grand aim or attainment, no winds and waves to light against when the glittering prize is just ahead and n iittle more striving would win il. Ts rest sweet, to the old mariner when his steamer is creaking and careening iu midoecaniiiidbergre.it machiiii ry rook ing to and fro under (he death throes of her struggles to out live the raging of the teuis'st that threatens her detnieti,,n '.' After the storm, and wlou Uie port of safety has been reaehoil. rest is desired, and enjoyed as a boon warm from (iod's own hand that was outstretched to rescue, It was the unrest, the ceaseless, untiring toil and energy ami vigilance that saved that precious cargo of immortal souls and costly merchandize, and rest then would have been the precursor ol' ruin nnd death. Host is sweet to the weary watcher when the long vigil is over and the crisis past that threatened llu; life of one we loved. After those eoaseless ministrations of love and duly, I hat were blest of (lod in the restoration of our idol, we feel that we have a sweet and satisfying foretaste of the heavenly rest. In the necessary struggles of life and progress, passave rest is man's greatest foe. To attain to any lofty mental of moral ex cellence, there must be some dross dUlodg meuts an emptying from vessel to vessel, as we do our choicest wines to prevent the nettling upon the lees, as was the case with Moab, who had been at ease from bis youth; and this truth has its general ap plication al tlie present day. Out eternal longings and restless yearn ings after something beyond us is tho re fining power that ennoblus lives. It is this outrcaohing beyond the sensual that imparts this exceptional charm to charac ter, and wields u seorot inilueuce iu the social mid domestic realm. We live iu a land whore there are ene mies to valKpii-h, battles to light, and for tified passes to overleap. It is not a very pleasant thing to be re-tless, hut what operates for our good is seldom very pleas ant. This endless longing and wishing is to show us there is something beyond to which we must attain if we would rest in ici.ee. We soon tile of that sensual desire to rest that grows out of indolence, inglorious inactivity or excess of animal pleasure. It is not the rest the soul is a-liiingerod for. Il is only the dying Christian that is to outer into that rest the soul has wrestled and cried for here. The restless activities are now over; the unattainable reached, and the full and perfect rest that reiuain elh for the people of God entered into forever. llest is the emblem of death; unrest, the great secret of eternal life. si Mii:i; iikinks, so.Hi: aim: NOT.

A lady visiting an asylum for the Friendless Orphan Children lately, watched the little one's go through their daily drill superintended by the matron, u firm, honest woman, to whom her duly had evidently became a mechanical task. One little toddler hurt her foot, and llie visitor, who had children of her own, took her on her knee, petted her, made her laugh, and kissed her before she put her down.
