Mvra Wilbur's Mistake- .. .1-1 ' Gilbert Gorham, at the age of ten, was left orphaned and destitute, and was taken into the tender care of his loving grandfather, and hia Aunt Jane, a venerable spinster,' whose severity was a most wholesome restraint: upon his grand father extreme indulgence. Old Mr. Gorham being a man of eriorm ous wealth, his grandson and; heir was the most favored of boys and ypuths, every whim of boyish and j youthful fancy being granted as soon as ex pressed, i i l! And so, when Gilbert had attained the age of twenty-one, and blushingly announced his undying love; forj Miss Myra Wilbur, the belle of many water in g-pUces and seasons, and some five years lis senior, his grandfather only nodded and said r" , v j "Suit yourself, my boy, suit your self." ' . . j ! So a magnificent diamond was slipped on Myras finger, and Gilbert entered into a fools paradise blind to thje fact that he was the dupe of an accomplished coquette, whose whole hard nature was incapable of the tithe of the love laid at her feet. j - ; For, being sensitive, poetical and over indulged, the boy made unto! him self sin idol, and calling it Myra, wor shiped it. j . ! And the actual ;Myra, being! emi nently practical, worldly and merce narj, erected a gold idol of unlimited indulgence and riches, and calling that Gilbert, worshiped it. Mr, Gorham, although hei was old and feeble, took a carriage and drove from Fern Nook, the family! country 'sent, "n Poolsville, the town hpnoij-ed by Miss Wilbur's presence, ani made a formal call. ! . Afier he was gone, Miss; "Wilbu tuni ng to her mother, made a strange speech for a maiden just betrothed, for sire said : - "After all, mamma, a rich widow is better than a rich wife, for: she can spend the money then, uncontrolled. " "Well, my dear?" f I "I was only thinking that Gilbert told me once he was entirely depend ent upon his grandfather,! having nothing while the old man lived. IP 'It would be well then to keep in the old gentleman's favor.' J j j Evidently Myra was ol that! opinion. She worked a pair of soft quilted slip pers for the aged feet, she seqt flowers and dainty dishes to Fern Noolc for dear Mr. Gorham; she made herself a hun dred fold dearer to her infatuated lover by hei delicate attentions to his rela tive. . Business connected with the settle ment of ac claim of his grandfather's againit the Government called Gilbert to Washington, -early, In the winter followingliis betrothal. There was the usual jathetio parting, and with assur ance of Myra's undying love, the young man left Fern Nook. After two months' absence, when he was preparing to return home, a tele gram reached him : - ! ! "Wait in New York to see me. 1 Will put up at the Grand Central. Jane Gorham." Of all strange experiences this was the strangest. His Aunt Jane leaving j her -home to visit the metropolis I Gil bert vainly tried to remember if ever she had been absent from home before, and thoroughly bewildered, hurried to meet her. j '! !' His first surprise was to find her gentle and kind, all the grim severity of her manner gone. Ifer kiss upon his lips was tender as Myra's own. j Myboy," she said, "I have news for you that will distress you, but before I tell that, I want you to listen atten tively to some business (fetalis that were never of any special interest to you be fore. You have always supposed! Fern Sook and the wealth that sustains it to . be ij.uuuiavilVi Om u are iney notr" I ; 'No, my dear, they are mine. ' Your grandfather holds a life lease! only of the house and half the income. The Property was all his wife's aiid left to ret with the lease, as I said, to my lather during life. While we jwere all ono family and you the'heir it was quite unnecessary to make any talk or fusCabout the matter; but now, it is as well to understand my rights and yours." ' , ; -Now'?"T,,M"J,"l";J' v--; i. 'Your grandfather, my dear, being, I charitably believe, in his dotage, has married Myra Wilbur I" It - was a crushing blow. Gilbert swayed to and fro in his chair, and then fell insensible. His ideal poetic life was more real to him than the actual world about him, and. he suffered acutely. But his aunt was the best of com forte rsj for, while she was full of tender sympathy, 'she vas eminently practical, and wth clear, lorciDie words she made him realize fully how unworthy was the idol he had worshiped. With her own personal propertv she had also brought Gilbert's from their old home, and she took a house in New York, where thpv hnt.h felt at home, returning no more to Fern Nook. Then, with true practical kindness she persuaded Gilbert to allow her to buy him a partnership in a light business, and roused him from his dreamy, sensitive moods, to active, na tural life. He might have become soured and hard, but for the love of this old maid, who had never before let him read the tenderness of her heart. "But, while he suffered keenly, his manhood developed, and he was a stronger, better man for his disappointment. " When Myra's name ceased to be a torture, Aunt Jane made herself known to old friends of her girlhood, and gath ered about her a pleasant, social circle, where Gilbert waa soon a favorite. There was no hint of te spinster's hope when she said very quietfy : "Any attention you can pay to Ella Bayburn, will be very pleaairig to me, Gilbert. Her mother has been my warm est friend in past years, and we have re newed the old times most pleasantly. If Ella is like her mother she is a pure, sweet, unselfish woman." "And Ella was like her mother, and was soon taken into Aunt Jane's closest Intimacy. Still smarting under the past pain, Gilbert was merely attentive to his aunt's young friend, und not yet realiz ing that a reality filling his old idea was near him. And while these old residents of Fern Nook were quietly gathering up broken threads of life, to weave a more perfect web of content, Myra Gorham was eat ing out her heart in bitterness. Instead of an old, indulgent husband, ready to humor every whim, to give her idola trous devotion, she found herself, tied to a querulous invalid, who had been accustomed to the unquestioning obe dience and devotion of his daughter and grandson, and who exacted a similar care from his reluctant wife. In place of balls, concerts and operas, the gay life of j the metropolis, Mrs. Gorham found herself shui up in a country house, certainly sufficiently handsome and well appointed to meet the most fastidious taste, but lonely beyond en durance to the woman miles away from her own friends, and coldly Ignored by the friends of theGorhams, fully aware of her mercenary treachery. Yez she endured it as patiently as possible, till the old man, pining for Jane. and Gilbert, sickened and failed visibly. It was when all hope was gone, that the young wife cautiously but very plainly , urged the necessity of making a will.; It seemed to her as if all the misery of life concentrated in the peev ish reply : ; "jl have nothing to will. All the property belongs to Jane I I only hold C lliC IVUOU VI 111 V AIV HliC o v-o c lvc MJane!" gapped Myra, remembering the insulting terms in which she had mated to that spinster that she pre int f erred to reign alone at Fern Nook. ertainly I If Gilbert's father had live d he would have shared in the prop- erty, but It all reverts to Gilbert if Jane dies unmarried." All Gilbert's and might have been all hers. Myra felt too stunned and miserable eve a to cry I To think that all her base scheming, her feigned devotion had led her only to this, the beggared widow of an old man. But after the funeral was over Mrs. Gorham made a few discoveries. First, all the deep black of her dress, with the finej white line of her widow's cap, the sombre crape and soft snowy tarletan were most becoming to her brilliant blonde beauty. She studied her dres3 to its minutest detail, and when it was perfect; formed her new plans. In her late! husband's desk she found five thousand dollars which she appropria ted, leaving Miss Jane and Gilbert, who came to the funeral, to defray all the expenses. She accepted Miss Gorham's offer of the use of the house for a year, and when she was left In possession un scrupulously sold many small but valu able articles there, r When the vear was over, and Misa - - w - Jane Gorham once more opened her house to her friends, she was mute with consternation one day when a carrige .heavily laden with baggage, drove up to her door, "from which alighted her father's widow, who threw herself into her arms, sobbing : j i "; j . "Do not send me' away. I am dying in the gloomy seclusion of m v.: dear husband's home. Let me stay with you I" ' :' j She stayed, of course. Miss Jane's Old-fasMoned notions of hospitality iwere too strong to permit her! to turn a 'guest away, even if uninvited and un welcome. But she smiled grimly to see how Gilbert's face fell at the announce ment of the visitor. '.' .. ' i '. f j "She is'-my father's widow," the spinster said gravely; "So we must endure her for a time." j She was a most fascinating widow when she appeared at the late dinner, in a thin black dress, all ; jet and trim ming, with some knots of black ribbon in the profusion of her golden curls. Her color was softly tinted a3 ever, her blue eyes as abyish and winsome ; yet, when the first evening was over she knew she had gained nothing in her effort to recapture the heart she j had thrown aside. I ; But she did not despair. She sang the old Eongs that Gilbert had once heard with rapture. She varied her dress with lace3,! ribbons and jewelry, till its pretense of mourning was a mere mockery. She put herself in! Gil bert's way with every dainty device of feminine needlework. She entreated permission to prepare hi3 favorite dishes with her own white hands. And, as if to try his constancy, Miss Jane aided and abetted this schemer for her nephew's fortune, and spoke but little of Ella, never inviting her now to the house, so that Gilbert was forced to seek her more and more in her own home, and, found her ever "more lovely Land winsome from the contrast with the idol he had proved to be clay. It was six months after the arrival of Mrs. Gorham in her stepdaughter's house, when Gilbert, returning f roto a drive with Ella, met his dunt in the hall, and clasping her in iv close embrace, whispered very softly : Ella is mine I Wish me joy!" j "jFrom my heart," she whispered back. . Radiant with Joy3 and hope Gilbert, after changing his driving-dress, hur ried to the sitting room, to tell Aunt Jane "all about it." He had abso lutely forgotten about their guest, I and it gave him an unpleasant shock when he! found her, seated in a low chair, busied about some wool work, jthat showed to great -advantage her tiny white hands, glittering with jeweled rings. j She rose to greet him, and then, to his embarrassed surprise, she clasped her jewelled hands, and bursting into tehrs, sobbed : i "Oh, Gilbert, do not look at me so coldly. I cannot bear it. I know 1 de serve nothing from you but contempt, but if you knew how sorely my mother urged me, how importunate your grand father was, you would forgive me. I was insane with their persecutions, and I thought in ray misery that I could still see you, and, perhaps some day when 1 was free again I I" I And here evan her effrontery gave out, and she only sobbed convulsively. Taken by surprise, every gentlemanly instinct urged1 Gilbert to comfort this woman who was so recklessly offering him what Jt was once his fondest hope to possess. But his whole soul shrank from her; his manly, true heart was only outraged by her unwomanly ad vances. ' ; ; M! ' i 1 ' ! Gravely he stood looking down upon her as she shrank in the chair, sobbing and covering her face, and yet furtively watching him. ; "Gilbert, speak one tender word to me," she implored; ""say you do not utterly despise me." ' j. I ! But he did. , He sought for words to convey his meaning kindl, and they would not ! come. Blushing like a boy in his confusion and pain, he said, gently : I T um irnrtr CArrTr "f"ia ' n(M-Tiom"J "It used to be Myra," she sobbed re proachfully. "True, but those were days that can never be recalled." i "You are cruel." j "I do not wish to be so, but I must be frank with you.

Alas for me, it is my misfortune that I cannot conquer my love." j "But mine died when it was insulted Here Gilbert drew a deep sigh of re ef; at the appearance of Aunt Jane, entering the room behind Myra's chair. Mrs Gorham did not hear her light step, and sobbed : , j j "Your love cannot be dead, Gilbert. It will live again. Pity and forgive T' e.": j . j ; i . i "I both Dltv and foreive you." said Gilbert, very gently. "But" I "But," aid Aunt Jcne, in her hard- est tone, and with her face set in rigid lines, fyou forget, Mrs. Gorham, tfce law does not permit a man to marry hii grand mother. K i f Vith a cry ofj rage, Mrs. Gorham sprang to her feet,' hut something in th cold, grave faces, checked the tor rent jdf ' wrath upon her lips, and she left the room. , , . .

Of all the sports at which the boys in Japan amuse themselves, kite-flying seems to afford tlie most fun and en joyment. Japanese kites are not plain coffin-shaped bits of tissue paper, such fly. They are made stretched on light as American boys oi i tougo paper frames of bamboo, and of all shapes, square, oblong, oi oval. They are also made to imitate animals. I have often iJapan. seen a whole paper menagerie iia the air. There were crying babies, boys with arms spread put, horses, fishes bats, hawks, crow monkeys, snakes!, dragons, besides ships, carts, and houses. Across and the kite, a thirl strip behind the top of of whalebone is stretched, which hums, buzzes.or sings high in the air like a hurdy-gurdy or a swarm o bettles. Vhen the boys of a whole city are out in kite time, therp is more music in the airthian is delightful. The real hawks and crows, and other birds, give these buzzing counterfeits of themselves a wide berth. In my walks, I often was deceived when looking up, unable to tell atfirst whether the moving black spot in the air were paper, or a real, liv ing creature, with beak, claws, and feathers. j ! The Japanese boys understand well how to send "messengers" to the top of the kite, and how to entangle each other's kites. When they wish to, they cap cut their rivals string and $end the proud prize fluttering to the ground. To do this they take about ten feet of the! string near the entl. dip it in glue and then into bits! of powQcd glass, making a multitude of tiny blaclt. as sharp as a razor and looking when magnified, like the top of a wall in which brqken bottles have been eet to keep oft climbers.! When two parties of boys agree to have a paper war near the! clouds, they raise their kites and thern attempt to cross the strings. The most Bkilf ul boy saws off, with his glass saw, the cord of his antagonist. The usual size of a kite in Japan is two feet souare, but often four feet; (many that were six and I have seen feet hjgh. Of course, such a kite needs very heavy cord, which is carried in a basket or on a big tick. They require a man, or a very strong boy, to raise them; and woe betide the femall urchin Who attempts to1 hold one in a stiff breeze !" The humming monster in the air will dracr him on his leet, pull him over the street, or into the ditch, be fore he knows it. ! Tie such a kite to a dog's tail, andyio Japanese canine could even turn round to bite the string. It the! Government allowed it, boys and young men wouinimaKe Kites as large as an elephant.$. Nicholas for March Value Of a Trade. Many a young man has been ruined for to life because he never learned 'how do anything. "My father," once said an intelligent young Jriend., who found it extremely difficult to earn a scanty livelihood jby his pen, "did not think it worth while for me to learn anyj trade or business." He had been unexpectedly thrpwn on his own re sources, and, although a man in stature and years, he was a mere infant in his capacity to earn a living. They are too many men of his class floating around the world men who have tal ents, but do not know how to apply them. Such cases lead us to look upon thV culpability aa very great, of any parents, who bripg up a son without having been practically and thoroughly instructed in some way of earning an honest living. Every man should have some profession of trade; should know how to do something. Then, whether he steadfastly pursues it or not, he at least has an occupation to which, in an emergency he m a V resort for the sup port of himself anjd others who may be dependent on him. Of all men the practical know-nothing is most to be pitied. ! The famous horse chestnut tree in the Tuileries Garden which has received the name of iMarronier du 20 Mars," as it was always observed to put forth leaves before any other in the park at about that date, is this year forty days in advance.

Much then depends on the coolness"' of the officer of the deck, for if he loses! his head the man is gone. "1 was a passenger once on apacket ship bound from New York to Liver pool, when one afternoon at about three o'clock that cry was heard. The wind was about north, afresh breeze, and there was considerable sea on. The ship was heading east by south, carrying all three royals and top-mast and top-gallant studding sails, going , about ten miles an hour. I was sitting on deck reading when the cry was heard. The mate had charge of the deck', an old officer, whosa equanimity no emergency could dis turb. I can see him before mo now dis tinctly, and hear his rapid orders. "Down with the. helm!" said he to the man at the wheel, and as he himself sprang to the "taff rail and cut away the lifebuoys, his orders came continuous, "Jump-up in the rigging there, one of you, and keep your eye on him; let go the royal halliards, fore and aft; let go the topmast and top-gallant studding sail tacks; hard lee, there; forward! rise tack and sheets; main bowlings; get aft liero now to your braces quick, mainsail haul!" and as the ship's head had come round to the westward, the after! yards swung around and the mate's voice was again heard: "Let the head yards stand; leave your 'head sheets flowing; clear away thelea-quar-ter boat, and Mr. Jones jump into her there with four good men. Now, then, stand by to lower. Steady, and mind wiiuj you've got hold of. Now, then, lower awixju? ft,0w ui' toucneu the water, "lioia o to your forward tackle;.let go aft; unhook; lt go for ward. Now, then, give way right out on the lee bow; that's were you'll find him!" and the boat was off, not over ten minutes having elapsed since the first alarm was given. J " ';' ; ' "Only those Who have passed through a similar experience can properly ap preciate the anxiety with which we watcted that boat. No w we would lose sight of her entirely, as she sank in the trough of the sea, and again as she rose on its crest, the men were flying their; whole weight upon the oars in heir effort to reach their drowning shipmate. Every minute or so the mate would hail the lookout at the masthead: "Can you still see him?" and the answer would come back: "Can see his cap, sir, once n a while, as it rises on the sea, but . can't tell whether the head is in it or not. "Soon the masthead hailed ! again "Tho boat has stopped, sir; they're pickin' up something," and the next minute we saw her heading toward the ship -...!! ! "Now. then, said the mate, ''get a whip on that davit and stand by to run him up quick when they, get alongside. Nearer and nearer came the boat, and soon rounded to under the quarter of the ehipr In the stern -sheets lay a limp mass, but whether alive of dead we, on board the ship, could not tell. "Bend onto him careful," said the Cap'-" tain, "and two or three ofyou'!jnmp over the side and steady him upi" Id a trice the second mate had passed " a couple of turns of the whip arourid the man's body, and as the word was given the men on the deck walked away and ran him up to the davit, the men over the side steadying him carefully, to prevent him swinging in against the ship on his passage up. As he came on deck! he feebly opened his eyes, arid the steward, who was standing near with a glass of grog, put a little of it between his lips. Rousing up he took down all that there was in the tumbler, a good "three-finger nip." "He'll do," said the Captain; "I'll ' risk him now; hook on that boat and hoist her up." As she came out of the water he shouted:. "Put up your helm i fill iway the head yards; stand by your after braces!" and away the ship went round on her heel, and, fifteen minutes later was going on her course again at the rate of ten knots, with studding sails alow and aloft!.
