It was a lovely face Sue Carlington held up for ber friend's admiration, fair and sweet, with waves of soft, curling hair railing loose, under a coquettish little hat. It looks like a wartralt," Nora Leslie replied, taking it in her hand. "Iso, there are no portraits here. Oh. Nora, I've thought of something splendid. Let's send It to Ned Hazard with a love letter. He is always fancying every girl completely smitten by his great black eyes and huge blonde whiskers. Let's bother him, and have some fan." Bnt "But nothing. It is last for mischief. and nobody will ever know. I should like to take a little of the conceit oat of that fop. Comet I can write a hand no body will ever recognize, and we will write the letter.? - Some maidenly instinct In Nora's heart shrank from this freak of her merry com panion, bnt aha was overborne by her, and the letter was written. The temptation was certainly strong, for Ned Hazard was the most conceited, empty -beaded dandy that ever exposed himself to ridicule of sancy girlhood. , But his empty bead was decorated with a handsome face, his pock ets well-lined with Inherited wealth, and Aa fancied himself irresistible. Jle had come to C , the pretty town where Nora ami Sue were acknowledged belles. for a summer sojourn, and . having rela tives there, was introduced to society. where his affected manners and evident his own merits were soon stock of the frank, cordial eommantty. The letter -written by Sue, contonrbig the picture of the lovely face, was duly. answered, and followed by others, until a sadden summons to his city home cut short Ned's flourishing flirtation upon pa per, with a glowing epistle promising to return at the earliest possible opportunity, be bade farewell to his unknown admirer, and carried his blonde, whiskers out of A year later, when Sue had nearly for. gotten her escapade, there was a sensa tion in C caused by the return of Lanrenoe Halstead, one of the boys who had gone from home seven years before to seek his fortune In California.; Under the care of an nncle, long resident in San Firancisco, he had won an enviable repu tation as a business man, and had inher ited the fortune his uncle had acquired in years of mercantile life. C was ready to receive him 'with open- anas; His mother, "who had lived in quiet retirement, moved into a handsome new house, and prepared it for net son's coming, adding to the interest of his arrival by her cer tainty that he returned home heart-whole and fancy free.

He would come for her answer m the evening, he said, and her heart was full of pure, trust ing happiness as she awaited him. For. m spite of her merry nature. Sue had a true, earnest heart, full of tenderness ; and all her love was given to the grave, re served man who had asked her to he Mm wife. . ; It chilled her a little when )miiml 1 1 asked her to hear him a few minutes. before she answered his letter. "I wrote to yon,' he said, in a grave voice that was habitual to him, "askinjr if you could love me well enough to be my wue, ana yet, Susan, I feel that I ntnbt make a confession before I hear yonr an swer. I will eive you. 1 trust, a tender. true love, if you ran marry me, but I tan not deceive you, by letting you thing you are the first love of my heart. I would spare you the story, but as my wife you will be sure to hear of it" A hand of ice seemed to be errasnincr Sue's heart, but she waited, pale and si lent, tor what was to follow. "You have met Adela . Haines, mv seo- Sl cousin, have you not ?" Laurence ed. "No : I was away when she visited vour mother." "Three years ago she was my promised wife. I did not write to my mother, sure of her consent, and wishing to give her a nappy surprise ea my return home. A year ago, wheal was on my way here, I purposed going to Baltimore, urging Adela to again visit my mother, and announcing our engagement.

She had seemed to me all gentle purity, modesty and sweetness ; but by here falsehood she tore away the mask she had worn for me, and I saw her forward, bold and unmaJdenly. It was a bitter waking, Sue for I had given her a strong man's first love." H i "But might there not have been some mistake?" said Sue, forgetting herself in the sight of Laurence's anguish.

He took the juice of six pounds of water melon pulp, and, having added a certain quantity of free sulphuric acid, he warmed the mixture, upon which the sugar became transformed into a mixture of glucose and levulose. The product, which ferments directly, yielded ten quarts of perfectly normal alcohol.' A rainy summer often renders this fruit so watery , as to leave large quantities of it pnsold on the hands of the melon growers in the moist and fertile valleys of France, and if is by no means improbable that they may be able to turn M. Levat's discovery to practical account- The number of potent and- seductive liquids of an intoxicating character which are capable of being ex tracted from fruits and vegetables seems endless. Origin of CJamages. The oldest carriages, used by the ladies of Fngland, were called wbirK cotes. These became unfashionable after Ann, the daughter of Charles IV., and queen of Richard II., about the end of the fourteenth century, showed the ladies how gracefully they could ride on a side saddle. Coaches were first known in England , in the year 1530. They were introduced from Germany by the Earl of Arundel They came into general use ' among the nobility in the year - 1605." The celebrated Duke of Buckingham wis the first who rode in a coach and six horses; f o ridicule this pomp, the Earl of Northumberland put eight horses io his carriage. Coaches let to hire were first established in London in. 1625. There were only twenty of them kept at the principal inns. In the . year 1537 there were fifty hackney ceaches; in 1654 there were two hundred;. in 1694 they were limited to seven hun dred; and in 175$ to eight hundred; there are now eleven hundred.

When the Twentieth reached Fort Gib son, Miss., some of the boys entered a de serted bank. Here they found a pile of notes or bills of various denominations which had never been signed. They took a lot with them, and some suggested that if signed they would pass for money. Various signatures were appended, such as "Uncle Sam, President, and John Brown, Cashier." Just as the foragers thought, the country people accepted them gladly. J. C. Meracle, of Company I, bought a lot of honey and gave a twenty dollar bill In payment. The lady could not make the change, and he generously told her it made no odds. When he enter ed the road and joined his company 'some one said to him, "Meracle, you may never eat that honey." He answered, "The bul let that Is to kill me has not yet been made.' Poor fellow he was one ef the first to fall, shot through the head.

Nearly aii his friends and family connections were fully committed to the cause of the South; I no though he had no relatives nearer than eouains in the Confederate army." The peculiarly delicate situation of General Thomas will be better understood by a brief reference to the facts. In 1855 there was a partial reorganization of the United States army. Jefferson Davis was then Secretary of War. The 2d Cavalry was officered by ban very largely with men who were of Southern birth. Its four field officers were: Colonel, Albert Sidney Johnston ; Lieutenant Colonel, Robert E. Lee : Senior Major. W. J. Hardee ; Junior Major, George H. Thomas. All these are fsTpinar names m connection witn tne war. When the war began twenty-nve officers of this regiment were graduates of West Point, and of these seventeen were natives of the South. The regiment furn ished seventeen generals for the war, ' of whom twelve were in the Confederate- ser vice. . Van Home, the biographer, of General Thomas, says : "Two considersQons, in all probability, induced Mr. Davis to appoint Captain Thomas a major in the 3d Cavalry bis mrth in Virginia and his efficiency and gallantry in the Mexican War. General Thomas always believed that Mr. uavis had regard to a probable war between the Northern and Southern States, In oraulnzins was that regi ment--" The writer once asked him E Thomas if he entertained this opinion, e promptly answered that' he did. . And In reply to the question : 'Did not Mr. Davis depend on you aa. upon uenerais Johnston. Lee. Hardee and other Southern officers to tight for the South in the event of war" he said: certainly ne aw "- Washington Tribune. Bowlutele Gave Life to a Statue. . yip.rial Angelo was once requested by the Gonfaloniere Soderlnl, at Florence, to undertake to form a statue out of a mis- ehapen block on which Simon de Fiesole had befone been unsuccessfully employed in endeavoring to represent a giant in marble. - He accepted the commission and succeeded In producing the beautiful fig ure known under the name of David, which now It an da in front of the Palazzo Vecchio. The statue being finished the Gonfaloniere came to inspect nis purchase, and, among other criticisms which he made, objected to the nose as being too large? adding that he wished some reduction should be. made in its size. Angelo mounted tne scanoicL and. giving a few harmless blows on the nose, let fall a handful of marble dust which he had scraped from the floor be low. Then descending from his station he turned to the Gonfaloniere with a look ex nectant of his approbation. "Aye!" ex claimed the sagacious critic, "this is ex cellent Now you have given it life in deed." i Fact aad Fancy. A contemporary speaks of a man who was "shot by his fireside."
