Miss Bertha's Valentine.. ' Everybody said that Miss Ber tha wai very much alone in the world, . wondered what on earth she would do if her eyes and health fthoul! tail ) her, and pitied her in that easv-eoing way' which, sub- W I 1 . tracts nothing from the pojeket, . but leaves a residue of self-satisfaction in the conscience, while they paid as little for her services as they could help. But Miss Ber tha never grumbled, she put as many stitches and as m,uch eye sight into the fine sewing as if she had been paid a ducat for every stitch It was her way -"never, to slight anything. But sewing was iwt tho only occupation hi which hq excelled.. If any poor strug gling mother with little children 'toddling about her fell ill, Miss Bertha auilted her net-di irjto her cushion 'and stepped into th breach; when watchers failed, Miss Bertha cTfmc to the front; and when .'the small-pox visited the little sea jort of " Great Hernngton it was ahe who went atrout from house to house, giving draughts and doses, comforting the dying, and making the last, ghastly toilette for the dead, v "What, does it matter to me?"

But Sue spoke 'truly. Bertha hadbeen fair in her day; the bair that was whije as the new-fallen snow had once been brown and bonny; the eyes, which to-day were sunken and pale, had looked out like lucent beryls from under dark lashes; time and toil and trouble had robbed the satin skin of its fine texture, and seamed it with many a line: little of youth remained to tier but a harl alive to generous impulses, and the color t!iat still burned in her xheeks in spite of the frosts of her forty-odd winters. Yes, Miss Bertha 'had had her heyday. Miss Johnson, the squire's daughter, who lived in the finest house in Great Herring ton, wore silks that could stand alone and sable cloaks reaching to her heels, who ate off French chi na every day, and had never known what it was to suffer from hunger, cold, or fatigue, who had never had a sorrow or a lover even she might have enviea poor Miss Ber tha those halcyon days when An gu Aiken loved her, when they wulked together in the moonlit g.irdens in their English, home, and sat beside the fountains, and lis tened to the silvery monotone, tike some sad and gentle voice complaining. No doubt Miss John son would have bartered all her ''dry-goods and imported finery for an exnerinnce as rich as this of her elderly seamstress, about whom no romance seemed to linger. To be sure. eerybody in Great Herring ton knew that after the vjsitation of tlve small-pox Parson Chapell had invited Miss Bertha to- share his temporal blessings, which con sisted of a small salary and four mischievous boys with torn jack ets and dirty faces. "The parson wanted a house keeper," ; the neighbors' agreed. "Ot course a man of his age don't tall in love like a boy With an old maid tool seems as-uiougn j she must have thought he'd ask again with a house all carpeted from garret to cellar, and the gen trv in his gates, so to speak! I wonder what Miss Bertha expects at her times of life too when offers of marriage aren't as plenty as wrinkles." But Miss Bertha expected noth ing. There was that in her history which she would not exchange lor the kingdoms of the earth and the glory thereol; the dust of twenty years had in no wise tarnished the brightness of it. . She had her'an niversaries which no one reckoned but herself delicious anniversa ries of half-guessed happiness days full of sunshine and the music of thespheres; dark and cruel days, when the clouds that threatened showed no silver linings. Onsuch a morning so many years ago, An gusand she had gone out to gath er spring fliwers, and the wood had been full of spicy odors, and the pale bloodroot was waiting for them, its petals all on tiptoe; at such another date they listened to the nightingale's fluting, while the stars stole out as if to listen with them, and the new moon hung a golden bow low in the heavens, and she had asked, "Do you never ! wish by the new moon, Angus?" I "Never," he had answered; "but I shall to-night; I shall wish that you may love me forever and eve. And then he had kissed her, and '."the nightingales kept fluting." There was that day hi June which should nave oeen their wedding day; and the time when he kissed her last, under the golden labur num-tree; and then that dreadfu morning when her father came home, black as a thunder cloud and swore she should never marry the son of the man who had ruined lii m, who had robbed him of the invention into the perfection which he had put all his money his hopes, and his energies fo years. - Bertha had refused to re nounce her lover on account of his father's wrong; there had followed a scene; then her father had seemed to soften, and had traveled to Lon don with her to talk the roattet over with a lawyer. She had been j glad enough to go, for was not .. i . ' i An?us somewhere in thu oront I throng of London at his work? Would she not be sure to meet him?. But the dav after thev ! reached the big noisy city her Slather had taken her out and on - 'board a ship, sight-seeing; and . . : : -!... , - " foUI ....n GABTHABE, NORTH CAE0LD1A; WAY, suddenfjv w&iTe she looked and listened and wondered and talked with the captain who was in the secret suddenly the shore, the masts, the steeples, been tore- code, and they were standing out to sea, bound for America. Oh, what a long and hateful vfeyage it was! how she longed for the sieht of Angus, to say just one parting word, to tell him it was no fault of hers, and that she should love, him forever and ever! What ter rible days they were which carried her farther andifarther from Eng land The fine weather Beemd wasted without Angus. When stormsbore down upon them she only shivered at the thought of dying apart from him. But as thy drew near the New World, her father, weakened by a long and u8ele8S struggle with fortune, and broken utterly by this "un kindest cut," gave up the contest and lay down to die. "Promise me, Bertha," he begged "promise that you will nevier write to that man's son, that you-will hide yourself from him. Promise me, or I shall not rest in my grave. Promise, child, and I shall die easily, willingly. Can you refuse this last request?' And amidst grief and distraction, pQor Bertha promised. And she had kept her promise for twenty years and better. Never one word for Angus had crossed the water to tell him whether she lived or died, though longing thoughts and wish es went out to him on every wind that blew, though night after night her pillow was wet with bitter tears, though he had never been out of her mind, waking or sleep ing. At first she had comforted herself with the belief that he would find her out himself; but, as time passed, this hope faded and (Jied, and was given decent burial. How should he know that she had proved true, that she had loved him on and on? Why should he not SUpj p pTwrcn aTBTre-Tf m-rcrv i of her own choice, because she scorned the son of his father? No doubt he had taught himself to un love her; had almost forgotten the old fondness, the old hurt; had married some good woman,' and was happy by his own fireside with his children. She hoped he was happy; as for that good wo man, she did not care to think of her overmuch. But daily she pictured him in ihe midst of his family pictured him young and handsome, with the color in his smooth cheek, the bronze shade in his waving hair, the sparkle in his eyes, forgetting that twenty years ad robbed him of youth and beauty. When her father died there had not been enough money left in the urse to take her home to England, though Captain Seymour would gladly have carried her back with out it if she would have take him br better or worse. Afterward she had parted with her trinkets one by one tor her daily bread, till she could earn with all but the shining ringjhat Augus had given her, andvhich was now worn quite thin, though the odd legend en graved therein was yet plainly egible : Thongh he seek till he be Rray, Love will find out the way.', But in all these twenty years she had never saved enough from her necessities to pay her homeward passage. If perchance she got a tew dollars ahead, some pour sou greater need appealed to her ; and it was now fifteen years since she he.d gravitated to Great Herring- ton and cast anchor, but no one in all the place dreamed that romance had ever touched so plain and old and common-place a body as Miss Bertha, who was doubtless made to sew, to tend the sick and stir gruels and broths and mustard plasters, leaving the poetry of life for her younger neighbors. She had been out, toward the last o January, watching all night, and as she Stepped into the frosty air and began to remember that she was hungry and drowsy, sue sud denly encountered Dr. March com ing roend a corner. !

Woman's DreMs. Within human recollection the faraway Greek time we un duly exalt not excepted there never has been a period when the dress of woman was so beautiful . .... ana so great an aid to beauty as it is to-day. It contains so little from sun-shade to boot-heel, that is absorbed, so much from hat to hose that is beautiful, that admir- jng man ought in some signal way to testify his gratitude to its fashioner. The "Princesse" dress, as they .... - . . convenience, simplicity, grace, are its characteristics. It permits the wide choice Ln color and material which suits it to all kinds of women.

It strengthens the form instead of as has not infrequently been the case weakening it. Like all pure decoration it emphasizes the object decorated, following the natural lines of a woman's figure, displaying the clear lines of the hip, tailing in at the knees where the figure narrows, and widening a trine below as it should, it is in entire consonance with the laws of drapery. It indicates the form which has too long been con- eealed under heavy and oftentimes tasteless or disfiguring toggery. Now, the first time tor y$ars, the contour of the form has chance to assert itself. The much ridiculed pull-back is an' artistic inspiration. It recognizes the law that the back is the prop- er place for the length and full ness of the skirt to manifest themselvesi Of course the fash ion may be carried to an extreme and women may pinion their knees and choke themselves with high collars and drag ragged and dirty trains about the . streets But there are abuses of a .good thing for which it is not to blame. ine great oojecuou to me train -which so increases the height and grace of movement has been the street dragging, lhatia obviated by the loop, which a woman carries on her finger, which not only lifts the skirt trom meausi, uui wucu judiciously managed gives glimpses of bright color in hose and petticoat As with the gown, so with the rest of the feraiuine attire, so far as it is apparent.

Iu Urecce, Spain and Portugal, partiea of fourteen and twelve can contract a bind ing marriage, but in the latter country the consent of the Barents la neceasirv if the parties are under tweity-one. acooraing to tte amended paragraph or the new German civil marriage bill, tha state of tedlook cannot be entered upon under twenty and sixteen re- Tectivelj, though the existing laws of Prussia and Saxony j permitted marri ages at earlier periods.

Ruskin says: "An uneducated man ought to know three things; First, where he is that is to say. vhat kind of a world he lias got into; how large it is, what kind of creatures live in it, and how ; what it is mad ! of. and what may be made of it. ' Secondly, where he is going that is to savy wh.it chances or reports there are of any other world besides this ; and what seems to be the nature of ihe other are readiest means io hwpower.of attaining' happiness!, and diffusing it. The man who knows these things, and has his will so subdued that he is ready to do what he knows he ought, is an educated man; anJ the man who knows them not, is uneducated, although he could talk all the tongues of Babel.' selected. The Washington Star says the gold men are bothered to account for the fact that theprice of gold has not advanced on the passage of the silver bill by the Senate, and the certainty that it will become a law. They explain now, however, that it may not increase in price until jthe government has to be come a purchaser to get enough to pay off interest on gold bonds, and that then it will go up kiting. For a season, howevtr, iu view of the fact that gold will not be needed for custom duties, there will be no special demand for it, but after a while, and when it is driven out of the country by the cheaper metal, and government needs it, why then , &c. Well, the gold men have been mistaken in their past calculations, perhaps they may be now. Cbrwtitncy was the only Wes'ern Senator who votoi again-t tbe Si'rer bill.
