the old oak, with a daisy in her pretty Hi
tic hand. 1
A sunbeam peeped through the branches
over their heads. and kissed n
curl that had strayed from the keepin" of
lu l.uui-Mjna nai; Kissed the sweet brown
eyes, making them dance and lanli; kiss
ed a merrv little' mouth; and
caressingly on the daisy,' child of 'the sun
beams. 'r w'"n,lor "mv liora yon have named
it, Mr Dayton? Will yon tell me, after

"If the daisy is wise, and has the num
ber of petals 1 wislr,' ha said, with a look
which made Ethel Clifford drop her eves
quickly, avone'bj- one, she threw the
snotty petals into her jap, whispering soft-
'Friendship, lovo, indifference, hate.'
Ono by one he picked' up the little tell
talo things, picked them up with lincrin
touch, and hold them in his hand for wa
n'ot tho daisy his dear type of Ler" "whose
name it Uue?
Meanwhile, the sunbeam peeped at liim
and lighted a manly, honest,, earnest face
that only half revealed tho eh;!,- D;

A shadow passed overhis face.
'rllnt I'm not. Miss Ethel."
"Not?" she cried, glowing earnest. "But
why not? - Dou't you eel "that - friendship
means a life-long "trust?"
"l'onr words make ine feoldeeply that
I am not satisfied with the flower's decree,
fori rained the daisy Ethel." - "
A deep sigh, was heaved 'from tlie sym
fiathetie heart through the qniveriug little
ips. . ,. ' , .. , -
VOL! Mr. Dravton, I am sorry!" ..
"Why, Etheir he sadly uskwl...
"Because because I'm so fond of yon;
I love so much to be with yon, .and I so
long that w should be what the daisy
savs: friends". U ,

"But don't you feel, deep down in your
heart, that even your beautiful picture of
friendship is cold! Add to it the flooding
sunlight of love, which you know 1 give
yon, and which 1 ask for in return."
But tho answer was almost a sob:
,"0 Mr. Drayton, I am sorry!'' -.
' "Think of it prayerfully one little ino-,
ment, dear heart. God grant you do not
know yourpelfl";, ; w.T.'y ,''"c :i r;
vThe little'head fell for a moment on the
clasped hands. ,Then elro raised her true
brown eyes with a besceeching glance,
. and simply, gently said: "Only friendship."
The manly, brave face was turned ,a
way, but Edward Drayton 'folded. a. little
jhand fondly in one of his, while 'Wuhis-
reret: .- r 1 --:- '
"(Jod bless ypii, child, pood-by!"
Tho to-davs - quickly nnml)erel them
selves, among the vesterdavs, and Ethel
Clifford's life was happy altogether hap-
I She felt that she had been true to her
iowii heart that Juno rooming when Ed
ward Drayton had said 'Good-by!' for
surely it was not love she felt for him, not
the deep-burning love, she had dreamed of
in her woman-fancies; so she put the
jthonght of him away with "a, sigh for his
isorrow, and lived on her earnest, happy
lmsy little, life.' Bur, "as the months rolled
by, a shadow fell on lur happy heart; she
. knew not what it "meant, and planged
lccpcr into the pleasures and duties of lief
life, but the shadow grew into a,: craving
as shadows often .wilU i (
One sunny June day, as she was ranib

Drayton had told her the story of his love
She had even avoided the spot since then;

But there she wasp so she lingcred.
She looked down on the fresh green grass
and started, bnt she only saw a daisy near
an old gnarled tree, looking up at her with
its innocent little face1 She stooped and
picked it, and a tear shown on it as she
put it in her breast, for it had shown her
that the shadow on her heart was . love,

CLAY AND RANDOLPH.

resisted with all his powers. The Jatter
entered Congress at 2G. 4ind was for al
most thirty years one of tho most interest
ing characters of the capital. His pun
gent repartee, his brilliant wit and his
fervent oratory . cave , Lim a distinction
which has never been attained by any
other i Consreasman exceot , John Oninev
4dams. The expression "masterly inac
tivity" is a sample of his gift at word-eoin-
IV: It was conceded by his friends that
he was often partially insane, but- Lis
freaks Lever brought him under a lunatic
commission. JJlv lormer oastor (James
w i
W. Alexander, predecessor of John Hall)
who met him occasionally, held this opin
ion, lie wrote lioin .V lrsrima' to a Tritiid.
"Everybody fears him, and his power of
sarcasm and invective are such that no
one pretends to contradict him." Ran
doljib was one of the most remarkable
horse-fanciers of his day, and his stud in
cluded a score of the very finest breeds,
some of which were never used. He once
attended a public meeting dressed in a
suit of Virginia Lome-spun, .with leather
breeches, and on the same occasion whip
ped one of hiervants in the court yard.
Such was among the eccentricities of this
strange man, but he followed the example
of AVashington in bequeathing liberty to
his slaves.
In 1824 John Quincy Adams was elect
ed President, and Henry Clay, who had
been one oi the rival candidates, was made
Secretary of State. This appointment a-
ronsed Randolph's indignation, and he
publicly denounced it as a "combination be
tween the puritan and the blackleg."
Clay could do no more than send a chal
lengewhich was accepted, and. yet both
were old enough to know better. The
evening before, the duel Randolph sent for
General Hamilton, of South Carolina, and
told him he intended to receive Clay's fire
without returning it, adding, "nothing
shall induce me to harm a hair of his
head. I will not make his wife a widow
nor his children orphans." His eyes filled
with tears, and after, a brief chat his visit
or took leave, but returned , at midnight.
He . found Randolph reading "Paradise
Lost," on whose beauty he begau to ex
patiate in his usual eloquent manner. The
duel was then mentioned, and , Randolph's
decision was objected to, since his second
had refused to sue him shot down in such
a manner. "Well, sir," said Randolph, "if
I see the devijju Clay's eye and malice
prepence to takemy life, .then 1 may
change in v mind."- ., k , i.5
The next afternoon the meeting took
place on the banks of the Potomac. Ran
dolph saw.no "devil in Clay's eye," but'
the calm expression of a man "who felt the
importance of his honor. Says Hamilton:.
" 1 shall never forget the i ce;ie as long
as I live.. Here wen. two of the
most, extraordinary ' men our. country had
ever produced about to meet in mortal
combat. ! . I took . Randolph's hand while
the pistols were loadimg, but felt not
the qitivcring of one pulsation." He turned
to me and said, 'Clay is calm, but not vin
dictive. I hold my purpose,' Hamilton
remember this.' . . The . meeting .was soon
consummated. Clay fired without effect,
and Randolph discharged his pistol in the
air.- As soon as Clay saw this he instant
ly approached his former antagonist and
exclaimed rwith nuconcealed sensibility,
'I trust in God, my dear sir, you are un

FASHION'S AXl) PERFOES.
Many persons have a fixed belief that it
is the most vulgar of things to have scent
on the hand kei chief; others, again, appear
to think that they cannot nse too much.
A French author, a'man of evident taste
and culture, declares that he distrusts the
people who denounce the use of perfumes.
The opposite to a bad odor is a good odor;
he says, and those who have no predilec
tion for good, odors will not at all object
to bad odors. 'A child, a student, an aus
tere and grave scientific dignitary, an old
man,' may be excused if they use no per
f.ime; but a woman, young and beautiful,
imaginative, gay and haimv, cannot fore
go the luxury, the elegance, the poetry of
peri time, lashion has varied greatly in
this matter. In Paul de Kock's day pep
permint was the rage sweetmeats were
flavored with it, aromatic dilutions were
made of it. Ladies carried it in their scent
bottles and in their bonbon boxes, in one
form or the other. Then came the turn of
what is termed aromatic vinegar, speedily
followed by lavender water, e'au de' Co
logne, rose water and patchoulij and since
the extreme popularity of patchouli the
passion of using perfumes has somewhat
subsided. In these days few ladies posi
tive' drop scent npou their handkerchiefs;
they prefer to keep their wardrobes well
stocked with lavender or orris root, or san
dal wood, so that their elothes emit a pleas
ant fragrance, rather ,than a decided odor.
A young American lady I knew in Paris
had the cupboards and drawers in which
her, clothes were : disposed strewn with
satchets of strong-smelling violet powder,
that gave a nameless, delicate, fresh per
fume to everything she wore, from her hat
and -veil to her handkerchief. For this
mode of nsinf perfume nothing can be
much better than lavender, which is exquis
ite! y fresh and wholesome, and has a sweet
natural scent that art can never outdo, A
voting Englishman, -whose bachelor Lome
in Pans 1 saw onlv a week or two ago
has sturdy bunches of lavender hunT to
each of the pegs for his coats in his dress-

Aud yet people declaim about
the extravagant
coquetry of women, as if
the hanging of those masculine coats over
fragrant lavender did not equal any of our
harmless little devices.

"Yes, it serves thr purpose of de
ceiving applicants to a limited extent: but
it was originally gat op forihe benefit of
one person alone. 'Hie hustory of that no
tice is somewhat romantic,; and it would be
a good subject for a 'yallcf kiver.'"
I arged him to give me Ihe etorv, which
Le did in nearly the following language:
"Some years ago there was a vounn
clerk occupying a desk near the entrance
to the building. He was reckless in Lis
character, fond of a joke, and loved an ad
venture better than he loved wine, w hich
is saying a good deal. One day a vonng
gnl, well dressed and "aged about sixteeif,
entered his room and asked if he was Sec
retory of the Interior. He saw at a glance
that she was a simple-minded country o-irl
"i" WVon r,enno wLat she could want with
the Secretary, determined to find Aiir nil
about it, and promptly answered in the af.
lirmtive. She thereupon told him that
she had recently been left an orphan and
among strangers; that her fathers estate,
which was considerable beforo tho war
Lad been swept nwav. and that Kh ., ..!
pnniless and obliged to support herself.
She had a good education and wrote a fair
Land, and, hearing that situations in th
hpartment were frenuentlv filled ! 1,.
dies, she had determined to apply lor one
for herself.
"The clerk ascertained th'.nt d.
backing, but that ia her simplicity of mind
had come there thinking that no such thin"
was necessary. He then decided nn n t;,.?.
of action bfamons in it design and disas
trous in its consequences. Still r.irrvinr
out the idea that he was the Secret, he
ascertained her stoppig-placc amJ a'-rctd
to consider her application and calftb.u
evening to infornrhcr of the result. IU
also cautioned her, on some specious nre-
text.
against talk'? with other. ir flu.

the result can easily be imagined. It was
the old, old story. Of course she never
got the situation promised, but was iut off
irom nay to nay and month to month, on
various pretexts, until finally, bvacl i a life
of administration, he lost his'owii situation.
"Overwhelmed by the loss of Lis i.om-
tion and the. consciousness of the iuf.imv of
his conduct toward the poor girl, Le shrank
from telling her the truth; and fcarin" the
consequences if his guilt should become
known he resdved to conceal his crime Lv
still further deception. To this end he
wrote her a note, tellmrr her that 1... hnd
been suddenly called to Europe on import
ant biiMncss connected with Lis depart
ment, but that he had left orders to hive
a place given her as soou as a vacancy oc
curred; that ia the meantime she amid al
ways tell whether a situation was open to
her by looking at the notices posted on the
walls in tho department. That nbriit lie
got several copies' of the above notices
printed, ami surreptitiously posted them up.
"Filled with grief at his sudden depart
ure, and with a foreboding of impending
evil, she wended her wav to the denart-
mcui, on ucr nrsi vij.it pi reconnoistunce. J
t !.. ... - . I
She saw the notices, and, overcome
with despondency, she for the firt time
ventnred to disobey the instructions she
had received. Entering the office where
she had first met her deceiver months be
fore, she inquired for the Secretary of the
Interior. She was shown to his room, and
there the whole secret came ont. The
scene in that office, when the kind-hearted
Secretary revealed the truth, can never be
described. Suffice it to say she was con
ducted from that 6m utterly broken in
mind and health. The Secretary provided
for her immediate necessities, and called
the attention of some charitable ladies to
her case. For weeks she lay hovering ou
the brink of tho grave with a brain fever,
and when she arose her mind was gone
and her hair was gray. Her betrayer w as
traced out and forced to contribute to her
snpport; but for the sake of Lis fainNy the
whole matter was kept from .publicity.
When she was able to go about, an at
tempt was made to 'change her abode and
surroundings, but she resisted the attempt
with terrible energy, bclieviug, as she did,
that her lover 'would one day return. She
clung to this hallucination to tlio last, and
every day, at the hour of noon, she visited
the department and read the notice, and,
hnding 'no vacancies turned awar with a
sigh and returned to her room. Once the
notices were taken down, but "she became
so demonstrative in her joyful anticipation
of securh.g the promised place that they
were immediately replaced. As 1 said be
fore, the Listory of tLe case was kept a
profound secret, and out two or three, who
from day to day saw the pale, wan face
appear with the regularity of the sun
knew or could fathom the sad history of
that blighted life; and of tho thousands
who carelessly read the words of that no
tice few are aware that it had its origin ia
the perfidy. and treachery of man that its
letters were written in the heart's blood of
a confidinsr and betrayed woman."

Mr. C. I . Iiitchcl of Corry has been per
fecting a flying machine on a new plan in
the RivciMde Hotel, East Bridgeport; the
machine Ktands in tho hall nearly comple

feet long and twelve feet in diam

suspended from i!k cylinder by cords
and rods. TbU car is of blender bras
rods, and extends the whole length of the
cylinder, tapering5 to a point at each end.
In the centre is a platform, iijum nLSch the
occupant sits. In front of the seat are two
cranks attached t. a wheel, wLich in turn
is connected with an upright haft, at the
lower end of which is a fan nmilar to the
screw of a propeller. This fan U aW.t
