Daisy's Courtship. The old fashioned feitchen door stood wide open,1 and the strong, svyeet west wind poured through the sanded floored room, swaying in slow, graceful the blue muslin skirts of Daisy morning wrapper askhe stood bes tvvavea Clay's de the flow- table arranging a pile of stemlesa ers in a snauow giasa aisn. 11V. -i : -1 . . , I "Indeed, I'll never marry a farmer, auntie. I love the country well enough -here, at home, where nothing but the poetry of it falls to me gathering flow ers, drinking creamy milk, sketching shady spots, driving wherever I wan to, and always sent (luscious thirigs to eat and in winter rides and sleighing, and plenty of books jand my music." "And John Maurice." Heri) aunt tacked the rame very tersely at the and of the long list of attractions! then watched to see the! effect on Daisy's face. The pretty lips pouted charmingly. "Maurice! Oh, John's good enough, of course; but " j :"It's a good thing j you have got over your foolish attachment to him, Daisy, for he's going to be married soon. En gaged to one of the jprettiest girl; you ever saw a Miss Winchester, visiting at Castledean's. Daisy's eyes grew a little darker, and then she elevated her eyebrows4 coldly. , "He's engaged, is he? Oh, well, jthat's perfectly natural, I am sure. 1 suppose Miss Mis3 Winchester, did you say? I 8UDnose she is a decided blonde and petite?" Daisy didn't say that Maurice had often style "own. sworn that there wes. ho other of beauty for him but: Daisy's "Oh, bless you, no ! Miss Winchester is tall, almost as tall as John, and! very, stately, and a lovely brunettte.j Every body thinks John a ucky fellow." Daisy rose and took down her garden hat. I ! "I dare say he is- only I never could xee what there wad about thbse tall, dark women to captivate anybody . I'm going over to Minnie Castledean's a while may i?";.:rs J ' f Mary watched the petite, graceful fig ure in the naVy blue foulard cambric and white tarletan shade hat, tied over the clusteiing, floating curls j and nodded her head wisely and smiled se renely. "You darling you perfect darling to come to us. Daisy, I've been just pying to see you and have you at home again. We're going to havethe mostj all y time this summer, you know, The house 13 full; and there is Nellie Winchester es pecially I want you . .to know, and the handsomest young oflucer on leave--Gus brought him ,up--Colonel Cresington ; and"; we've'" impressed John -Maurice you remember jJohn; iiHe's ; the - hand somest fellow beats!, the , colon si, I- tell you, and Nellie's just bewitchledllafter him." s ; : , ' .' ;--ij"f And Daisy laughed and assented, and declared she half remembered "John Maurice, arid was dying to fee Miss Winchester, and intended inaugurating a rtation at once with the military gentleman. i H Minnie rattled on, as seventeen-; year old girls have a way of doing. "It's too bad! 'Nell's cone dowin to the city to-day to buy ribbons forj the picnic oh, you'll surely be hore next Tuesday for our pic-nic at Eagle's Ilead, Daisy? I suppose John Maurice will take Nellie, and. I am sure Colonel Cressington.will be delighted to be your escort." SColonel Cressington will be happier than ever before in his life, if he may have that honor,Miss Minnie." When her morning call was over, Col onel Cressington insisted on walking home with her, and Daisy permitted it -hot because he was so handsome and so entertainincf!. or she so pleased with him, but because well, she felk a little provoked at hearing so many praises of me iady to whom John Maurice was feel engaged ; and somehow it made better to flirt a little. ' " her And, as if theTery. fates themselves rwere propitious, who should shd and her gauant cavalier meet, face to acei for 'he first time In three year td Daisy, "ut John Maurice! t ' John Maurice so 'perfectly splendid in his clear, dark, , manly beauty, hi stylish ' clothes--every thing just as it should beQrrj rt, Or -i;rhis yolfin'auTice and and en gaged to Nellie Winchester! Daisy's heart; gave a bound as he ex tended a. hand jsvhjch she saw had a plain gold ringtta&Uttle finger. And then -she i crushed all jthe joy she had feltjaeeinff him, and gave himu her rland with a. I cool, graceful little j-hQw. -1.'" . ; "Daisy- "Mdy ! is it possible ? Why, you are; prettier tharPever; "and I de clare, Daisy,1 1 am awfully glad you're home again." He was so easily familiar, so frank- and engage1 to her ? r Daisy smiled.' ' "Thank you, Mr. Maurice, for your good will. I am glad to see you." It was very proper, very ladylike, but a shadow came over John's handsome face. , . "I hope I shall see you often, Daisy. You'll be at the picnic on Tuesday? Cressington, keep that sunshade over her head. Good bye till I see you again." . . His horse was prancing restlessly, and .he was off like a dart and out of sight when Daisy bowed good-bye tof her uni formed gallant" at the gate. - : "What a handsome fellow John Maurice ha3 grown to be, hasn't he uncle?" Daisy was sipping her coffee slowly that Tuesday morning a cloudless June day, that the gods had arranged for the Castledean party's picnic, and Daisy, her lovely golden hair brushed off her forehead in loose burnished waves, and caught at the back of the head with pale blue ribbons, was impatiently trying to get through her toilet. Her uncle buttered a slice of home made bre'ad with keen relish. "You might travel a seven years' journey and not come across his equal. And he's lucky, too. He sold his inter est in that railroad for ten times what he gave, enough to buy him the pret tiest farm in the country Edge Wire, and its stocked first-class, I can tell you. He's bound to make a fortune, and they say that Winchester girl'll bring him considerable." "He'll never think of her moneys He's not that kind of a man at all." Aunt-Mary stole a glance at the girl's face. "John's a splendid fellow, and his wife'll be the happiest woman1 going. I do say; Daisy, nothing would have pleased your uncle and I better if John had taken a notion to vou." i "You should have said if I had taken a notion to John. But you see I haven't." She threw a kiss coquettishly, and vanished through the door to have a foolish cry up in her room before she dressed herself. And when Colonel Cressington drove up in his two horse phaeton, he thought he never had seen such a perfect picture of girlish beauty and happiness in all his life.- :t; ,-., -. - - !. And Maurice dashed by in his Chaise with Nellie Winchester, radiant in white muslin and rose hued ribbons, in time to get a bow and gleaming smile frorifDaisy, and to think, with another of those shadows on his face that Daisy had seen before, that ColonerCressing ton and Daisy were good very good friends. ' The long summer day had crept pleas antly along, and the lengthened shadows were warning the gay picnickers it was time to be preparing to return. ? Colonel. Cressington and Nellie Win chester had strolled off arm in arm an hour before, and Minnie Castledean and a dozen'others were lounging ohf the soft sward, gossiping, laughing and en joying a dolce far niente generally, while Maurice was walking about unobserved, unremembered by the others, ; with his head bent down as if in close search for something lost his ring that had until several minutes before he had not missed, and missing, had at once com menced to hunt for it. ' Not that It was so valuable. ' r i But a pained white look on his face that had been there at intervals jail day intensified as he tboughtjhow dear that simple band was to him and why. He went on and on, separating fur ther and further "from the party, until sobs, low, indistinct, as if unsuccessfully 3uppressed,: but unmistakable, attracted' his attention, and a second's continu ance in ' the direction" he wasr-going brought him in full view of Daisy May, with her head bowed on her hands and her frame convulsed with violent weep ing, and glistening on her fair finger the circlet of gold for which he. waa search ing. . !! . ' Seeing him she sprung to her feet, and dashing the tears from her . eyes said : .. ) ' . . .;' ' 1 ; "I found your ring, Mr. Maurice." j She drew it off her linger and handed; it to himi calling all Jthe powers of aa unhappy, foolish little head to aid 'her to make her strong'and" indifferent who had beenVlttlng there kissing and cry ing over" John's engagement ring. - John took the ring, and holding it be tween his fingers and thumb, looked in her face, with his own;pale and eager. "Daisy, tell me yoii jsrere, crying be cause you love' me. tsit ot Daisy, my only, my own darling. 2 almost dread to have yourlanswer, for rtear it will be no. But Jo you jove rrhe, my darling?" - "1 A sudden glory flashed over her face, her, very; soul looking out of her Then her lips. quivered piteously. jeyes. "Oh ! John, how can you talk to me so? Nellie Winchester" r He pressed her suddenly close to him and pushed her head down on his sj iouI- der. j "Look up, little one. Nellie Win chester is nothing to me, although rumor has said so. You are all the-world ,to me, darling. Am I so to you ? j Will you take the ring I bought when I heard you were coming home, and determined to secure you for my own as soon! as I saw you? Daisy, I have been engaged to you since I can remember. Will you ratify it?" And with all her soul in the kiss she gave.hlm Daisy knew her heart was all rest in John Maurice's love. -. ; That night it was announced in the Castledean's parlor privately, of course, that the picnic hpd been a great suc cess. ; . . . ' 'j Colonel Cressington had proposed to Nellie i Winchester and had been ac cepted; and Minnie confidentially whis pered to Daisy : j "Wasn't it cunning? for Nell carried on with John Maurice just to try to make the colonel piqued, so that he would propose. That's the way I mean to do; don't you?" And Daisy smiled and blushed, and stole a glance at John's happy face, and thought how good everything was. Varieties or Canaries. The common canary is knpw through out theeivilized world, and is so com mon as to be cheap in all bird stores; but many of the varieties are rare and very expensive: these varieties; are mostly cultivated in England, however where the song of a canary is. not so much valued as its elegant shape or brilliant color. Germany is the groat centre j whence the world ,is supplied with singing birds, and in (jrermanythe business of raising the birds and get ting them ready to send abroad is chief ly carried on in the villages among the Hartz Mountains of Hanover. , The people there are miners and cattle-drovers, but, being poor, almost every family devotes its spare time to rear ing canaries and making the little wooden cages in which they are car ried to the distant railway station or sea-port. The houses are small, but one corner of the principal room is sep arated from the rest by a light parti tion, and given to the birds for their own use, where, in cups; boxes, and gourd-shells, they build their nests and hatch their eggs secure from all harm. When the breeding season is over, all the young birds are taken to Bremen or Hamburg, to be sent across the oce an to England, America, or away around to India and China; These voy ages are made only in the Winter, how ever, because it was found! that in sum mer traveling the birds losfc their voices and plumage; but that season is so cold and stormy that usually from a quarter. to a half of the cargo perishes before reaching our shore. So many bird's are sent, nevertheless, that probably 25,000 came to New York alive hist year from Europe. These are distributed through a large number of bird-shops in the city, and the deafening chorus which is kept up from dawn till dark by a hundred or so singing at the top of their voices in a single room, added to the din of small menagerie of other animals, is something surprising to one the first time he enters. I lie Would Have It. The demand for blue glass has been so great during the past few weeks that an advertiser in the paper whose stock was nearly exhausted resorted to the following method to obtain exorbitant prices for what he had left. A customer comes in and asks:" Have you any blue glass V1 j . "Yes,1 we have a little; I believe, one pane... Vhat do you want for it? Is it for a lady or gentleman f " "It is for my wife." . "Well, the glass used for ladies has been so much called for, that we have only a few feet left." , Customer: "Well, I must have some, it I can 'get it. I have been to several places." ' ! '. Salesman: Take a seat, sir, and I will send back and see. TomJ have we any No; 84 left!" - ' j .; Tom: "I will look." Hunts for blue glass, and returns saying there" is just; one piece, about 7x18. : ' -'- Salesman: 'Well,!we don't want to sell it all we are verry sorry, sir, s Cus omer: 'I will give you your own price tor mat piecei" t - Salesman: Well, you can have it for twadollar; but I would rather keep it." And he got his price. J.. Second s pair of spectacles. Tricks of Memory. The tricks and feats the oddities and uncertainties of memory, like the tricks and oddities of dreams, have exercised the attention of the learned for many generations. How to account for them by what process do they, come about? What is memory in its essence, and how does it workt It is a "molecular cha-nge in the particles of the brain," according to the language of the scien tists, or a "wave of mental life;" ac cording to that of the spiritualists and those antepenultimate reasoners to whom the term1 "mental life" has a meaning independent of physical con ditions altogether? Who can tell? o farj as we have gone, on one. As with the- science of meteorology, se are we as yet only gathering materials for fu ture laws and demonstrations on the matter of memory. Memory is one of of the faculties that can be improved by care and cultiva tion, and, above all, by forcing the at tention. When people excuse them selves for forgetfuluess by saying, "1 have such a bad memory," in nine cases out of ten they really mean, "I am so careless, so inattentive." With a mind half-asleep, thoughts vague, wander ing, dreaming, their attention floating every where like a leaf on a stream, not anchored, cot concentrated, they hear wt at is said to them in a woolly, muf fled kind of way, as one sees objects through a veil, or as the deaf hear an indistinct voice. Nothing makes a sharp impression, simply because they are inattentive, and do not give their minds to the subject on hand; hence thfy forget all that they are told, and wlien chidden or reminded, plead their bad memory as an excuse for their wandering thoughts. Taken early, this kind of thing may be educated out of a person; but if the habit of inattention is suffered to root, no after efforts will bejof much avail; for the will weakens asihabits strengthen, and there is be sides, the accumulated force that be longs' to continuance to be overcome. Hence the,absolute necessity of gently correcting and sweeping out of a young mind this fatal habit of inattention, and thiis improving that much-maligneld "memory," which is not really in fault. Tlis, however, does not touch the mis fortune of a bad memory when a real defect of the brain, and not only the consequence of a remediable cause. Bad memory comes from two things either grave preoccupation the place already filled and taken by reason of much thought, or from the natural fail ing of " old age. A man who has the minute details of delicate experiments, say, to think of and calculate, can scarcely be expected to remember the name of the cook who was sent away last year. He has heard it twenty times and often er; but inattentive from other causes than those which make otfr boy, our vague and wandering girl, ob livious of all that they should remem ber, he has forgotten' it as if it had never been, and no efforts can recall it i j . i In like manner, the memory wears oUjt with age; and one of the first symp toms of that said "fall of the leaf,'T which is so . soon to leave us first bare add then dead, is in the difficulty which w have in remembering faces, facts, dates, and lodged to names, save such as be early, youth; these are clamped fast on our memory, but the later events hang loose, and drift away altogether, j Some people have been known even to forget their own names, which uncomfortable state of tempd rairy imbecility has happened to the wtiter of. these lines, as also a total for getfuluess, for the moment, of the name add style of the dearest and most inti mate friends he possessed. The con sequence off this fact has been that more than once an introduction sought to! be made between strangers and friends has Jeen nothing more than an unintelligible muttering so far as these are concerned. The stranger's name was remembered with precision, but the friend-si vanished" into space, and remained there. Again, too, short- sighted ness generally includes a bad memory for faces, if not for facts. The cloudy obscurity of vision which gives outlines and general appearance rather than detailsl runs all faces, all people, injto types, instead of keeping them distinct as individuals; by which the memory gets bewildered, with those tormenting fallacies "false likenesses," only too well known to short-sighted people, so that they are never quite suire of themselves, and do not know if this person is he to whom they were in troduced last night, nor what names belong to the faces which they do re member. Between thinking that they ought to know people whom they never saw in their lives before, and forgetting those whom; they ought to remember. thB lives of the short-sighted, are weighed with a heavier burden than belongs to most; and, however disa greeable to (others may be their forget fulness, they are more deserving of pity than censure. And if to the physical defect of eyesight is added much inter course with ,the world and a crowd of acquaintances, met at intervals, we come to the last degree of this kind of discomfort, and the ultimate misery to wnich ! want or. memory for laces can bring the poor sufferer from his defect. Ail' . - ' -a' . aii great people nave naa gooa mem ories. It seems, indeed, as ifj this were one of the essential conditions for suc cess. A good memory utilizes all that is learnt; it is the trUe cumulative fac ulty by which days add treasure to treasure, solidly built up in the mind not like those shifting sandheaps of ac quirement, when the memory is bad, which are dispersed as soon a j gathered. Great intellect joined to a ta d memory is like a lame giant. , The strength is there, ; but the lability to use it now here! Every day begins, as! it were, a new mental era in the life of such a one. He forgets much of the good jgot by him in the time that has gone, and, though he brings glorious faculties to the study of the subject Undertaken at this 'mo ment,' he does not bring the full experi ence of that which he has gained before the full value of that which he ;has already learned. Hence no one with a treacherous memory can ever hope to become absolutely successful; and all those who have been world-famous have had faithful and tenacious mem ories, quick, serviceable, andj truswor thy. The royal1 memory is a proverb; but it embodies; a truth greater than its apparent flunkeyism, in the fact that a good pemory is in its essence royal, and noble, and! kingly; andj the first rate men who have had good, memories supremely good can be counted up by scores. Learning by heart is a good method for improving the memory, especially learning by heart poetry and"pieces." Many technical systems, too.) have been advanced by which the memory may be assisted by mental corks and buoys mounted on stilts and fastened firmly to central nails. One instance of this the writer remembers and only one out of the set of lectures given by the inventor of a certain system of artifical memory. It is. the date of Henry IV. "See,"said the lecturer,"! tak four eggs, and place one in each corner of this, muff, j The eggs will remind you of a hen, and 'lien' is the first syllable of Henry,' the foUreggs will tell you that this hen is Henry IV. By figures the' muff spells '1360.' 'm' being the thir teenth letter of the alphabet elimin ate the 'u' T being the sixth Thus to remember the date of Henry IV., put your four eggs into the four corners of a muff." But whether the muff meant the birth, accession, or death of this king of four eggs is a fact j that, not being buoyed lip by any such artifical coik is now forgotten, and has to be verified only by reference to history. But the best way for a person posses sing a bad memory to avoid jthe incon veniences resulting, is to make careful notes of all that it is necessary to re member, and to organize his life and doings with extreme punctuality and method. The Queen, D spersal oi insects. j Winged insects are perhaps, of i all, most admirably adapted for the special conditions found in one locality, land the barriers against their permanent displacement are numerous. -Thus may insects!! require for their subsistence suc culent vegetable food during the entire- year, which, of course, confines them to tropical regions; some are dependent on mountain-vegetation; some subsist on water plants; and yet others, as the Lepidoptera, In the larva state, are limi ted to a single species of plant. Insects have enemies in every stage of their ex istence ; foes are at hand ready to de stroy not only the perfect form, butthe pupa, the larva, and the egg; and any one of these enemies may prove so for midable, in a country otherwise well adapted to them, as to render survival impossible. But, on the other hand, most varied means of dispersal carry insects from their natural habitats to distant regions. They are often met far from land, carried thence by storm or hurri cane, j Hawk-moths are sometimes cap tured hundreds of miles from shore, h?ay ing taken passage on ships jwhich sail near tropical countries, and Mr. Darwin narrates that he caught n the open sea,' seventeen miles from the coast of South America, beetles, some aquatic and some terrestrial, belonging to seven genera, and they seemed uninjured by the salt water.) Insects, In their undeveloped states, make their abodes in solid timber, which transported by winds and waves, may carry Its undeveloped, winged freight great distances. Tropical insects are not unfrequently captured in the London docks where they haVe been carried in furniture or foreign timber. Insects are very tenacious of life, and nearly! all can exist for a long time with out food. Some beetles bear immersion in strong spirit forj hours, and are not destroyed by water! almost at the boiling-point. These facts enable us to un derstood hownot only by means of its delicate wings, but by winds, waves, volcanic dust, andj a thousand other agencies, Insects may be carried to re mote regions."
