What volumes may be written With little drops of ink ! How small a leak, unnoticed, A mighty ship will sink ! A tiny insect's labor Makes the coral strand, And mighty seas are girdled With grains of golden sand. MISCELLANEOUS. A WIDOWED BRIDE. BY AMY RANDOLPH. A mellow, spring twilight, with the crocuses lifting their tiny spears of gold along the garden walks, and early violets beginning to spangle the ground with blue, on the south side of running brooks. Such a twi light as touches a thousand chords of memory, and involuntarily dis poses one to sadness. Nor did John Marchleigh, leaning back in the ex press train with folded arms, and eves fixed dreamily on the amber 'glory of the sunset, escape its Influ ence. liut no rou.Ki nimselt witn an effort. 44 1 must not let myself drift into melancholy to-night of all nights in the year," ho said to himself, as he danced at his watch. 44 1 must re member that I am going to be mar ried !" John Marchleigh had been en- crajred for three years. For three years: now long it naa seemea when first he plighted his troth to orettv Isabel Ives. How short it seemed now, to look back upon. He a r had steadily worked his way up wards from almost the lowest po sition in Messrs. Howell & Starke's great importing warehouse, to a po sition, well-to-do and comfortably salaried, and now he was on his way to be married. As he sprang from the train at the little way-station, the usual idlers, who haunt such a place, looked at each other with nudges, winks, and meaning glances. 44 They all Know that l am com- incr home to be married," he thought, coloring, and a little an- noyed. 44 Village gossip travels fast a place like this." Yes. They knew that, and they knew more. John Marchleigh would hardly have whistled as buoyantly as ne aia, crossing the great rye meadow, where a meandering path, close to the old stone wall, made a 44 short-cut" of well-nigh a quarter of a mile, had he known all that they knew. 44 1 wonder how he'll take It ?" said one. 44 He'll be raving furious,; ot course," said another. 44 But that won't mend matters," remarked a third. ... 44 Women is all alike and always s." commented the philosopher of the party. 44 He might ha' know ed it. The old Ives homestead was a red brick house, its north wall over grown with gloosy sheets of ivy, and its porch shadowed with the droop ing boughs of a pear tree, pro nounced by popular tradition to be a hundred years old. As March leigh stepped on the steps, a slight, pretty girl of seventeen ran out at the door. 44 John !" She colored and trembled, and laid her hand on her heart. 14 Yes, it is I, Edith. Did I startle you so much ?" "No-yes it isnfe that!" as he laid his hand on her shoulder in the affectionate way that became her future brother-in-law. 44 Didn't you get our telegram, John ?" 44 Telegram ? No ! Has anything happened?" His face paled as he stood therein the uncertain twilight. Edith Ives began to sob and wring her hands. 4tOh, John! John! how cruel, how heartless you must think us all ! Bell is married !" 44 Bell married ! Good heavens !" he ejaculated, clasping both hands over his eyes, 44 am I dreaming?" 44 She was married last night. She nas gone to .Niagara, we all op posed it, but she would have her own way. You know how willful she was, John ; and he bewitched her, I believe. He is very rich, and he owns a villa in Switzerland, and a yacht, and a Newport cottage, and he's heir to a title, I believe, and " 44 He? Whom?" hoarsely inter rupted John Marchleigh. 44 You forget that you have not even told me his name as yet." 44 Evelyn Captain Carston Eve lyn, of the British army. But come in, John, don't stand there, looking white and ghastly, like a corpse. Dear John, we are all so sorry for you !" And again Edith burst into a pas sion of hysterical sobs and tears. 44 Stop," said John, always with the husky lump in his throat 44 don't speak to me now, please. Leave me here a little by myself. I will come in presently. Married! Bell married !" Isabella Ives was an ambitious girl, but up to this last lightning- swift episode in her life she had not been a bad girl. She had loved John Marchleigh truly and tender ly ; she had intended to remain con stant to him ; but somehow the glit ter and glamour of Captain Evelyn's Dame and rank had dazzled her and chanered the current of her whole nature. She had married in haste was she destined to follow out the course of the venerable proverb, and 44 repent at leisure ?" y A bride at NiagaraFalls, with the full beautv and freshness of her bridal toilette, ail faint grays and pearl colors, with a broad circlet of gold on her wedding-finger, and or ange buds in the trimming of the dainty French hat which had so ex cited the envy of the village girls ! Mrs. Captain Evelyn! She had gained the goal of her ambition and was she any the happier for it? She scarcely dared own the truth to herself; but, although they had not yet been married three days, she was beginning to be afraid of her husband. He was moody. gloomy; subject to alternate fits of deep dejection and boisterous spirits. He had berated her severely once or twice, when he found her sitting alone and quiet. 44 1 hate sulky people," said Cap tain Evelyn. 44 1 like people to be in spirits. I need amusing, and I supposed when I married you that you would help to amuse me !" Not very encouraging this, to a bride! " Sitting all by yourself, Bell ?" he cried, gayly, a he came into their private parlorr 44 Yes," she answered, looking up with a smile. 44 Where have you been, Carston ?" 44 Taking a walk on Goat Island. Thinking how best to break the news to you." 44 What news?" she asked, with wondering eyes. 14 The news that I am not what I seem, x am not uarston iveiyn at all. I am don't faint, my love I am tne eiaest son oi a juormon prophet. I have bought a ticket to Salt Lake City. We shall start this afternoon. I have five other wives, but they are all peaceable, well-dis posed women. They will not nuar- rel with you." I Isabella started to her feet, pale j and trembling. ; 44 Now don't be frightened, don't," said her husband, persuasively. 44 It's a very nice place out there. They're very nice people. I'm quite sure you'll like It, and if you don't why all you have to do is to come back to your own people again. It's quite an everyday thing there, las sure you. Now, if you're going to cry, I shall just clear out until the shower is over. Anything but a woman's tears !" He went out, muttering between his closed lips what sounded very like an oath, and banging the door behind him. While poor Bell, over whelmed with fright and terror, let her head fall on the window-sill, and burst into tears. As she thus abandoned herself to the agony of her distress, the sound of voices on the piazza below was wafted up to her ears, as one hears voices in a dream, meaningless sounds at firt, until a name,was pronounced that made her start and thrill. 44 Carston Evelyn!" 44 Calls himself Captain Carston Evelyn !" retorted the second speak er. O, he's got as many names as there are letters in the alphabet. And what adds to the point of the joke is that he's got a bride with him!" 44 Married ?" 44 Yes, married !" 44 What woman would be fool enough to have him ? A crazy, un principled fool, that his friends ought to be indicted for allowing to roam at large over the country," uttered the first, in a tone of the deepest contempt. 44 Some women are fools enough for anything," wa3 the careless re sponse. " But as I knew his 44 con fidence games " of old, I've thought it best to drop a word in the land lord's ear. There'll be a rattling of dry bones presently, see if there isn't. Carston Evelyn, indeed !" And a derisive laugh followed the words. The voices receded. Apparently the speakers walked away, and Bell sat like one stunned, while alter nate flushes of cold and heat thrilled through her. Surely it could not be possible; it could not. Just here camera tap at thidoor, and the landlord entered. 14 The gentleman has gone,' he said. 4 I suppose you are respon sible for all the expenses that you have incurred as " 44 Gone ! Where?" cried the de serted brid; springing to her feet. 44 He took a ticket to Chicago," said the landlord, evidently unde cided whether Mrs. Evelyn's sur prise was reality or acting, 4t so the agent says, but 44 I have no money," cried Bell, excitedly. 44 I am quitealone. I" And she began to cry. The landlord was a kindly-na-tured man, and the sight of the tears on Bell's pretty cheeks fairly melt ed him. 44 Telegraph to your friends," said he. And Bell took his advice. Her father and Edith came on to Niagara after her. Alas, poor, broken-hearted little bride ! 44 My dear," said Mr. Ives, 44 it seems a great misfortune that your husband has left you, but perhaps it is ail for the best. The day after your wedding a gentleman came on from the West to warn us against this this young man. He told us he was partially insane, and ought not to be at large that he was not responsible that, instead of being wealthy, he was deeply in debt wherever people could be found to trust him. We shall, of course, take immediate steps for a divorce, and in the meantime forget him, if you can." 44 If lean!" sobbed Bell. 44 Oh, papa, l never lovea nim. i oniy married him because I thought I should be rich and influential. Pa pa, I am rightly punished." No divorce was necessary. News reached them the next day that poor Carston Evelyn, as he chose to call himself, was killed by the express train, in attempting to spring on when it was in motion, and so Bell Ives's married life became a mere dream of the past. 44 Perhaps John will inarry me, after all, now that I am free," she thought. For, foolish and false as she had been, she still loved John Marchleigh. But John Marchleigh had re ceived a lesson he was not likely to forget. He never married the fair forsaken. And to all appearances she is likely to remain a widow to the end of her days. As an instance of the depreciation of property In the oil regions, it is said that wells that once brought $250,000 can now be purchased for f $15,000. Position In Sleeping. It is better to go to sleep on the right side, for then the stomach is very much in the position of a bot tle turned upside down, and the contents of it are aided in passing out by gravitation. If one goes to sleep on the left side, the operation of emptying the stomach of its con tents is more like drawing water from a well. After going to sleep, let the body take its own position. If you sleep on your back, especi ally soon after a hearty meal, the weight of the digestive organs and of the food resting on the great vein of the body, near the backbone, compresses it and arrests the flow of the blood more or less. If the arrest is partial, the sleep is disturb ed, and there are unpleasant dreams. If the meal has been recent and heavy, the arrest is more decided, and the various sensations, such as falling over a precipice, or the pur suit of a wild beast, or other im pending dangers, and the desperate effort to get rid of it, arouse us, and send on the 'stagnating blood, and we wake in fright, or trembling, or in a perspiration, or feeling exhaust ed, according to the degree of stag nation and the length dnd strength of the efforts made to escape the danger. But when we are unable to es cape the danger when we do fall over the precipice, when the tumb ling building crushes us what then? That is death! That is the death of those of whom it is said, when found lifeless in the morning : 44 That they were as well as ever they were the day before;" and often it i3 added, and " ate heartier than common V1 This last, as a fre- auent cause of death to those who have gone to bed to wake no more, the writer gives merely as a private opinion. The possibility of this truth is enough to deter any rational man fr4m a late and hearty meal. This we do know with certainty, and waking up in the night with painful diarrhea, or cholera, or bil ious colic, ending in death in a short time, is probably traceable to the late large meal. The truly wise will take the safe side. For per sons to eat three times a day, it is amply sufficient to make the last meal of cold bread and butter, and a cup of some warm drink. No one can starve on it ; while a persever ance soon begets a vigofous appe tite for breakfast, so promising of a day's comfort. The Great Woman Writer. From a discriminating review in the New York Sun. It cannot be denied that George Eliot uses ideality. But, as intima ted above, she employs it as some part of a complete apparatus for making an exact imitation of what is real. She pursues this object with grand steadiness and freshness of nerve, an ever-prasent discrim ination, a perfectly clear conception of what she wants to do, an almost unfailing judgment Of modes and materials of illustration. She brings to her task a very wide range of ap parently exact knowledge. You are convinced that she could deliver instructive lectures on the intrica cies of real estate law, on medical science and its history, on states manship, on theology and its influ ence in the world, on political in trigues and the tricks of dema gogues, on any of the exact sciences, on the syntax of the Latin and Greek languages, not disdaining even to tell you how carpentry work is made, farms drained and tilled, cattle and the dairy cared for, quarries and mines worked, weaving done ; how different men smoke their pipes differently, and the indications of character therein displayed ; how topers like their toddy mixed ; how men and wo men of all classes talk and act ; how comfortable or uncomfortable it is to be shaved by a barber. You are sure that her character is many sided ; that is to say, her humanity is large, full and complete ; that she is very catholic, very charitable, j very tender-hearted ; that she is kind to speechless animals and all helpless things. The Clergyman's Pantaloons. North Adams has a tailor long known for his keen, pungent wit. Not long since, a well-known cler gyman called at his shop with a pair of pantaloons and asked him if t they could be repaired. The knight f of the shears unrolled them, held ' them up in a most artistic manner, carefully examined them, and re plied, 44 Yes, yes ! the knees are the best part of them." The reverend gentleman saw the joke, smiled blandly, and gracefully bowed him olf out. ltise of the Handkerchief. Until the reign of the Empress Josephine, a handkerchief was thought in France so shocking an object that a lady would never have dared to use it before anyone. The word was even carefully avoided in refined conversation. An actor who would have used a handkerchief on the stage, even in the most tearful moments of the play, would have been unmercifully hissed; and it was only in the beginning of the present century that a celebrated actress, Mile. Duchesnois, dared to appear with a handkerchief in her hand. Having to speak of this handkerchief in the course of the piece, she never could summon courage to call it by its true name, but referred to it as a light tissue. A few years later, a translation of one of Shakspeare's plays, by Alfred de Vigny, having been acted, the word handkerchief was used, for the first time on the stage, amid cries of indignation from a great part of the house. I doubt if even to-day French elegantes would carry handkerchiefs if the wife of Napo leon I. had not given the signal for adopting them. The Empress Jo sephine, although really lovely, had ugly teeth. To conceal them she was in the habit of carrying small handkerchiefs, adorned with costly laces, which she continually raised gracefully to her lips. Of course all the ladies of the court followed her example, and handkerchiefs have rapidly become an important and costly part of the feminine toilet; so much so that the price of a single handkerchief of the trousseau of the Duchess of Edinburgh would make the fortune of a necessitous family. Gambling Women in England. Seventy or eighty years ago gamb ling was prevalent in English high society. Our readers generally know, perhaps, that Charles James Fox lost his millions at play, while other distinguished personages were equally as heavy losers. The wo men were as infatuated as the men, and some of them actually kept faro tables. Three of them, Ladies Buckinghamshire, Archer and Mount Edgecombe, were particu lary notorious, and were nicknamed 44 Faro's Daughters." Lord Ken yon said of them : 44 They think they are too great for the law. I wish they could be punished. If any prosecutions of this nature are fairJy brought before me. and the parties are justly convicted, what ever be their rank or station in the country, though they should be the first ladies in the land, they should certainly exhibit themselves in the pillory." When this plain-spoken judge actually came to try several aristocratic dames for keeping gam ing tables, he merely punished them by fines. Galloay, the caricaturist, was less sparing, for he depicted one lady as undergoing a public whip ping, and represented others as standing in the pillory. In Miss Edgeworth's novel of 44 Belinda," the black-leg mania among the fair sex is graphically portrayed. Play- insr at cards lor moderate states is still much more prevalent in Eng land than in this country, but lady gamesters are much more rare than they formerly were. Yet we read that a titled lady, name not given, has recently lost $500,000 at ecarle, which will compel her husband to sell a large portion of his real estate, and economize on the continent for some years to come.

In a noble castle there once resid ed a very rich knight. He expend ed much money in adorning and beautifying his dwelling,1, but he gave very little to the pdor. A weary pilgrim camo to the castle and asked for a night's lodging. The knight haughtily refused him, and said : , i 44 This castle is not an inn.!', The pilgrim replied, 44 Permit m? to ask two questions, and I will de part." 44 Upon this condition speqk," re-' plied the knight ; 44 1 will readily answer you." The pilgrim then said to him : 44 Who dwelt in this before you ?" 44 My father," replied the knight j 44 And who will dwell here after; you ?" still asked the pilgrlrn. ! The knight said, 44 With! God's will, my son." -j 44 Well," said the pllgrltn, 44 If each dwells but a short time In the castle, and in time must depart and make way for another, what arct you here otherwiso than juests? The castle, then, is truly an inn: Why, then, spend so much jmoney adorning a dwelling which you will occupy but a short time? Bel charit able, for he that hath pity upon the poor lendeth to the Lord, and that which he hath given ho Will pay him again." j The knight took these words to heart. He gave the pilgrim shel ter for the night and was ever af terward more charitable unto the poor. Twenty Impolite Things. 1. Loud and boisterous lajighing. 2. Reading when others are talk ing. ; ' 3.
