Geofoey Underwood was reclining languidly in a large Turkish easy cnair. wnicn ma Biier xert uau wheeled into the. smoking room. Could? she! . haye '.ihad-uVay about feJethadsraeb)thet vshould nave BinoKeu at ma owir tree win in the most elegant room in the hoa9P. But 'mama's' ideas were difierent. So she compromised the matter by smuggling into his ,'den,' as be pill ed it, this bit of luxury. Geoflfrey's head and feet werVl resplendent in a stDokiog-cap and slippers, worked by her own tmyJ fioger3 while away at school, from which she had lately returned, and each silken stich had. embroidered into the material with it some ten der thought of home, so now, as she gazed contentedly at the wearer, softened ynemories of school and mates floated through her mind. His cigar finished, Geoffrey broke the silence a8 he rose to his feet. 'It is a positive luxury, sis, to have you home again. Jt makes a fellow begrudgs an engagement; bat it must be kept, nevertheless.' Berta laughed. 'Now, Geof., you needn't begin to dignify everything with that stereotyped term-engagement. Tell the truth, brother mine. Say 'My heart is not here,' it's "chasing the dear," if it's proper to mutilate a poem so atrociously.' Geoffrey looked amused at this sally, but made no disclaimer. The shrewd little maiden's surmise came too near the state of the case. .lie. watched her, the smile lurking about his eyes and curving kindly lines under his moustache. She stood by a stand of plants, turning her pret ty face critically from one to an other until she found just what she wanted a crimson rose-bud just bursting through the tender, green 'jrx snr oflwJjrtt'op, a. tinjr spray of simiax, and Some fragrant geranium leaves. She tied them together. 'There, Geof,, that is for your "button hole.' 'Thanks.' As he left the room Berta sprang to the window , and watched him, kissing her hand playfully as he looked back. .During the winter Geoffrey had formed the acquaintance of several young ladies new-comers in the place. Towards two of them he had been strongly attracted, and, strange to say, v he could hardly make up his mind which one he liked best. When in cilice Thornton's socie ty he found a charm in her sweet gravity ; when with Gerty Haviland, her mischievous wajs and roguish face seemed, like the sun, to put out all other lights. ilis engagement this evening was to call on Miss Haviland. She was looking very lovely' as she came for ward to meet him. Her dark, pi quant face was set off by a cluster of scarlet verbenas, fastened at the side of her hair, and partly hidden by one of its glossy braids. -Another cluster brightened the lace from which rose the round throat which supported the gracefully pois ed head. They chatted pleasantly for a time, when Gertie remarked on the beauty of his bouquet, and asked; 'Is it from Werter s f 'Werter's' was a fine florist's es tablishment in the place. Geoffrey said, Carelessly: 'No, it is a lady's gift. One as pure and lovely as the flowers them selves' His, voice unconsciously took a softer tone as he thought of his lov ing little sister. 'Oh, I beg pardon for my ques tion.' Geoflrey looked up in surprise which was not diminished when be saw the clouded face, to which the cold, changed tones of her voice were a true index. All its brightness had gone, and with it its peculiar charm. The dark eyes had a disagreeable glit ter, and the rosy, pouting lips were compressed until ail their kissable sweetness had vanished. Geoffrey felt as though he had received a shower bath. He had no idea that his poor little bouquet would create such a sensation. Surely it could not be jealuosy; For Miss Haviland had, as yet, no right to call him to account, though of late he had been quite regular in devoting one evening of the week to call upon her ; and he was con scions that they were-rapidly drift- ing into a nearer relationship, but he had a . man s horror of a scene; and it was a sullen, lowering face upon which his . eyes rested. 27is expression, of surprise was yerf mortifying to ' Gertie. A She was conscious of appearing at a disad vantage, but she had never learned to control her temper, and could not do it now. "-'.iSo conversation lan quished ibr stupid quarter of an hour. Then Geoffrey rose and took leave a thoroughly disenchanted man. As he turned from Miss Havi land't door it was still within the regulation hour for calls, and ue walked on until he found ' himself opposite Mr. Thornton's residence. He stopped and unpinned Berta's flowers from his coat and thrust them into his pocket, .smiling a little ruefully as he did so, thinking they might spoil another call. He found .4 lice at home in the mcist ol a -pleasant fumily ' group. A white Haired old ' grandmother was : clicking her bright knitting needles in and out, weaving the red yarn; into warm mittens ,for a rosy cheeked boy who was studying his lesson beside her. A young sister was crocheting a 'fascinator' out of some Bnowy Shetland wool. Alice was tatting. Geoffrey watched her . white fin gers as they tormed the fragile thread into the cutious, lace-like trimming for a time, then he said: '7 cut a little poem from the pa per this evening which is as perfect a picture of your home group as if it had been written to describe it. May I read it ?' All expressed a wish to hear it. So he put his hand into his pocket for his portmonaie, in which he had a fashion of stowing away odd bits of poetry or prose which struck his fancy. With the port-monaie came the luckless bunch of flowers, crushed with the rough treatment they had received. Alice saw them and said impulsively: 'Ub, Mr. Underwood, what a shame ! How could you treat those lovely flowers so !' She took them in her hands as tenderly as though they could un derstand her. 'Poor little voiceless things ! it hurts me to see them ! Admi red one moment thrown aside he next I See how fragrant they are ! That is their protest!.' Geoffrey looked at the fair face, reproachfully, yet smiling, as it bent over the flowers. 'It wasn't quite right to treat them eo a lady's cifL. tnn.' TWrir-pat them in water until you go. Then you must take them home with you to bring sweet dreams of the donor.' 'Thanks for the advice. I would like to have my sister Berta for she was the giverlend the charm to dreamland that she does to every day life. Her bunch of flowers shall be treasured for still another reason can you imagine what it is?' . .. Something in his tone caused Alice. to look up questioningly ; but his ardent glance made her drop her eyes, blushing and confused, though her innocent heart beat high with pleasure. Geoffrey Underwood was her beau-ideal of all that was noble and graceful in man ; but she had never thought of appropriating him. She had been content to admire him at a distance. Thus it is in every life. The most trifling things often decide its happiness. Gertie's beauty and vivacity had almost charmed Geof frey's heart from his keeping; but an angry demon looking from the most perfect face transforms it, and Geoffrey had not reached the stage when 'Love is blind.' Many a heart is caught in the rebound, and Geoffrey's was no ex ception. That evening was the turning point with him. It was not long before his engagement to Alice was announced. Gertie heard the news with bits ter pain, for, though jealous and im pulsive, she was true hearted and it was bard to give him up. She felt that the golden opportunity had nearly keen her own, and that her foolish display of temper had lost her the only lover she had ever cared to win. Turks Uiving for Torpedoes. The Turkish government has ors ganized a corps of divers, whose business it is to root up tne torpe does which the liussians plant in the Danube and on the shores of the Black Sea. These divers are Mohammedans from Lazistan, and a certain number of them are aU tached to each of jthe Turkish squadrons. When the ships arrive near a spot where th existence of torpedoes is suspected two divers row to the place in a very light boat, which draws so little water that there is scarcely any danger of its striking against a torpedo. On arriving at the destination one of the oarsmen dives into the sea ; if he finds the wiro or rope to which the torpedo is attached, he cuts it with a sharp instrument and returns auicklv into the boat. The liber ated torpedo floats to the surface of the water, the men pass a sort of lasso round it, takes it in tow, and then row back to the ship as quick ly as possible. For each one thus captured the divers are paid about $50 in addition to half the value of the torpedo itself. A Mavor out West has determined tn till half tha doers in , that citv and tan their hides with the hark of the other half. . 16, 1877. A Chicago Girl's Gratitude.

Miss Smith ho replied, blushing ly: ! !- .

'TV . . . . pretend to blush. 'But, my gracious, honored Miss,' stammered the young man, after hastily dividing four into 1877, and finding that it wasn't leap year; 'my goodness, before all these peo ple and I am already engaged amd your father must weigh -.' '2?ush, 1 know what I am up to,' replied1 the artless girl. 'I am en gaged, too, to that youing man talk ing to that waxen-faced thing with somebody else's hair oyer there. I want to stir him up to bring him down to business make him come up to time, that's all. The young man said that a load had been lifted from his bosom, and aided her to the best of his ability 83 well, indeed, that in three quar ters of an hour the true betrothed got his git 1 into the library, deman ded an explanation of her shameless conduct, was softened by her tears, called himself a brute, asked if she could forgive him, and promised to behave better in future. And how did the young girl reward the young man who had helped her to the hap piness ? Why, she never said a word to him all the evening; in fact, never mentioned him, except to say to her reconciled lover, 'Alonzo, could you have deen so stupid as to think: I could see anything to ad mire in such a mutton-head as that? 0, women, in our hours of ease. Chicago Tribune. . . The Largest Music Bos in the World. An eminent Swiss mechanician has just finished, for the JThedive of Egypt, certainly the biggest and finest, and probably the handsomest musical box ever made. Its beau tiful ebony case is buffet-shpped, as large as a full sized signboard, and inlaid with zinc and brass ?rork, and ornamented with bronze chasings and plates. The interior of this remarkable box is a perfect marvel of mechanical ingenuity ; it includes all the latest improvements for se lecting tunes, a patent moderator, etc., and is furnished with flute, flutebasso, drum, bells, castanets. The repertoire consists of one hun dred and thirty-two tunes, supplied by eleven cylinders which can be changed at pleasure each of them six inches in diameter and twenty six inches long. Notwithstanding its brobdjgnagian dimensions, this in strument like others of its kind per forms automatically; when the Khe dive desires to treat himself to a con cert he needs only to touch a spring, and if his highness should grow weary of the monotony of one hun dred and thirty two tunes, he has but to communicate with &e ma-! ker, who can speedily supply him with the material for a few' addition al hundreds. To complete oar de- j soription, we ought to mention that i the box is the result of eighteen months' assiduous labor, and that the price to be paid for it is about $4,000. How Hayes' Arm Was Saved by a Eebel Surgeon. At the battles of Antietam and South 'Mountain, a colonel roa woun ded his arm fearfully shattered- and&e was borne from the field by his brothers and a private soldier. They carried him across the coun try a long and toilsome distance, every step of which was torture te the sufferer, to the house of a Marys land Union farmer. Then came the ubiquitous Yankee surgeon with his glittering knives and cruel saws, and made hasty-preparations to am putate the ailing member. The far mer vehemently protested, declar ing that the man would die if the arm was cut on. lne surgeon in sisted that the patient would die if the arm was not taken off, and the colonel's brothers coincided with the surgeon. But the determined old farmer despatcned nis son on ius fleetest ; horse across the fields to the other side of the mountain after his friend and neighbor, a country physician, and a rank rebel. When tne rustic juscmapias arrived, ensu ed a long contention with the Yan kee hewer of bones over the suffer er. but the result was that the arm was saved, and after some weeks of careful nursing the , colonel galloped off to join his regiment, a compare tively sound man. i 27e subsequent ly became Governor of Ohio, and now fills the Presidential chair.

' i:' . :V ; : ! ; . Gen. Bee,bis brigade being crush ed : and scattered, rode up to Gen.

Gen. Beewheeled his horse and galloped back to his command. A t he did so, Gen. Jackson said to Lieut. Lee, of his staff : . iTell the colonel of this brigade that the enemy are advancing-; that when their heads, are seen above the; bill let the whole line arise, move forward with' a shout,1 and trust to the bayonet. I am tired of this long-range work.' ' ' !". In the storm which followed Bee's return to his command, he was soon on foot, his horse shot from under hm)." With the fury of despair he strode among his men, tried to ral ly and to hold them against the tor rent which beat upon them, and, finally, in a voice which rivalled the roar- of battle, he cried out : 'Oh, men, there are Jackson and his Virginians standing behind you like a stone wall ! Uttering these words of martial baptism, Bee fell dead upon the field, and left behind him a fame which will follow I that of Jackson as a shadow. The South. The grand old South, with Jier 'plantation manners, was,1 after all, the great conservator pf civilization in the United States. 'She kept the lamp of chivalry alight in hearts of gold.' . She preserved the muni ments of civic liberty. She adjust ed the true relations between capi- riched herself and poured her treasure into overy vein and artery of the commercial North, building up splendid cities, making opulent corporations and individuals,- and creating the possibility of every in dustrious man earning a generous living. She kept society pure and the government unsullied. Alas I how have crazy fanatics and fools changed all this! The war made upon the South and her institutions has! brought forth dreadful fruit. The revelations of the past few days demonstrate that the fabric of so ciety, East and West, has dwelt up on a slumbering volcano. : Wealth has been concentrated in the hands of the few ; poverty is the burden of the many. A privileged class has been established, whose chief doty seems to be grinding the faces of the poor. Hard times have fol lowed the' big dzunk of war and speculation. Confidence i between man and man nas Deen weiimgh destroyed. The granaries of the union are bursting with plenty. and yet myriads of God's creatures are hungry for bread. We do not care to taunt our brethren . ot the North in the hour of calamity ; but they should know at last that the day of retribution has arrived. Au gutta Sentinel. How Foe Wrote His Eaven. Poe's new biographer, W F Gill, rejects, as nearly every one of sen sibility and discrimination must, the poet s labored account ot 'The Raven' as a mere product of art, and seeks for a clew to the! poem in the circumstances under which it was written. Poe was living at Bloomingdale, N. Y;, ' and shortly before 'The Haven appeared, 'his child wife, Virginia, whom he loved with a purity and intensity that was little short of adoration, was prostrated by a serious illness which had previously amictea ner, ana ior weeks her life was hung by a thread. Animation was at times, indeed, seemingly suspended, and on one dreary .December night, the poet was agonized to find her cold and breathless, apparently dead. In his lonely, silent vigils in what was, to all intents and purposes: . the Dresence of death, many stranee immacinarics and much bitter self accusation naturally came to him. Although uniformly kind and tender to his wife, he had. been weak and errinz from his unfortunate suscep tibility to drink, and an exaeerated sense of wrong done to his lost loved one, through his weakness, not on naturally came to him at this time, exciting the most irrational remorse. His unreasoning, agonized repining undoubtedly - took such complete possession of him as to completely surcharge bis mind with the imag inative reveries 'that no mortal ever dared to dream before,! and in pic turing to himseLf his wife as depart ed, his remorse , , also ' forbade nun any; hope of meeting her in the dis tant Aiden ot tne future.

They have a wa tery appearance while he is speak ing, but every Other .part of his body is so dry that one expectf him to crumblo np when his great rT -" . . 1 . t-w away , as s cream. taontn ia small, his lips are thin land color les ; his teet are perfect in form and color. His . nose and forehead are the marked features off his person. It isn t a Websterian forehead, broad and dome like, but it is bul ging like, and hangs oyer his eye3 like a bay window in the second story of a house. , His skin is so pure and dry that you can see the currents of pale blood that run over his skull. The nose is biz enough to carry all the brains an ordinary man would need, and maybe Evart s Surplus is situated there.! It isn't an 'inconstant vestibule,', as some Call Morton's, but a peak majestic, and rises from the landscape of his:. face to give it dignity! and conse quence. It is not puggy or grist ly like some large noses,' but it is of aristocratic material and artistic carving. The slopes and curves -are all according to the lines Of art Grecian art. It is a thing of beauty magnified. ' Evart's legs are pipe stems and his arms willow branches. His chest is 1 less in di ameter than his head; and the breadth of his shoulders is about as great as the distance from the tip of his nose to the base of his cerebel lum. He has no bowels, and only stomach machinery enough to keep the brain supplied with food. Mr. John McDouzh.lthe New Orleans millionaire, has engraved on his tomb a series of i maxims. which he had prescribed as the rules for his guidance through 1 life, and te which his success was mainly at- . tributable : 'Bemember always that . loloir- ia -n --of tliv ouaditlonw- our existence. .'Time is gold ; throw not one : minute . away, but place one to account. Do unto1 all men as you would be done by. Never covet what is not your own.'- Nover think any matter so trifling as not to deserve notice. : riever i give out that which does not first come in. Never spend but to produce. Let the 'greatest order - regulate the transactions, of your life. ' Study in the course of your, life to do the greatest amount of good, i Deprive yourself of nothing- necessary to your comfort, but live in an honors able simplicity and frugality. r JLa bor, then, to the last moment of your existence. , ' Starting in. the World. Many an unwise narent labors hard and lives sparinely all his life for the purpose; of leaving enough to give his children a start in tne world, as it is called. : ' Setting a Joung man afloat with money left im by his relatives is like tying bladders nnder the arms of one wno cannot swim ; ten chances to one he will loose his bladders and go to the bottom. -' Teach him to swim and he will never need the bladders. Give your child a -sound education and you have done enough for him See to it that his morals are purer his mind cultivated, and his whole nature made'subservient to the laws which govern man, and yon have given -what will be of more value i than the wealta of the Indies. , f-T I !
