Do you know you have asked for the cost liest thing Ever made by the hand above A woman's heart and a woman's life, And a woman's wonderful love? Do you know you have asked for this price less thing As a child might ask for a toy ? Demanding what others hate died to win With the reckless dash of a boy. You have written my lesson ot duty out, Manlike you have questioned me ; Now stand at the bar of my woman's souj Until 1 shall question thee. You require your mutton shall always b. hot, Your socks and your shirts shall be whole; I require you heart shall be true a3 God's Ptars , And pure a3 heaven your soul. You require a cook for your mutton aud beef I require far grander a thing . A seamstress you're wanting lor stockings and fehirts I look for a man and a king. king for a beautiful realm called home, And a man that the maker, God. Shall look upon a he did the first, And say, "It is very good. I am lair and 3'oung, but the rose will fade From my slt young cheek one day ; Will you love me then, 'mid the falling leaves, As you did 'mid tte bloom of May ? Is your heart an ocean so strong and deep I may launch my all on its tide ? A loving woman finds heaven or hell On the day she is made a bride. I require all things that are grand and true, Al things that a man should be ; If you give this all 1 would state my life To be all you demand oi me. If you caunot do this, a laundress and cook You can hire with little to pay ; But a woman's heart and a woman's life Are not to be won that way. Mary T. Lathrop. A Plan's ICeply. 1 stand at the bar of your pure woman s soul, Condemned in the cause lhat you plead!; My only defense is the simple request That you'll judge me by motive,notdeed. For remember that man's but a child in the dark, Though formed by the hand from above' He will fall many times, but shall walk forth at last, In the sunshine of infinite love. So I'm boldened to answer your question so fair, And give you "A Man's Reply ;" That for the prize of a true woman's love I am ready to live or die4 You say that the man who gains your love Must be brave and true and good ; I answer that she who wins my heart Must be a type ot true womanhood. You say that you look for a "man and king," A very prince of the race ; 1 look for a kind and generous heart. And not for a queenly face. You require "all things that are good and true, All things that a man should be ;" 1 ask for a woman, with all that implies, And that is sufficient for me. You ask for a man without a fault, To live with you on earth ; I ask for a woman, faults and all, For by faults I may judge of worth. I ask for a woman made as of old, A higher form of man ; Hi3 comforter, helper, adviser and friend As in the original plan. A woman, who has an aim in life, "Who finds life worth the living ; Who makes the world better for being here And lor others her life is giving. I will not require all that I have asked In these lines so poor and few ; I only pray that you may be all That God can make of you.' For your heart and life and love, Are sacred things to me ; And "I'll stake my life" that I'll be to you "Whatever I ought to be. Good Housekeeping. New York Ledger. julietthe orphan EY AMY EANDOLPH. "Well, Juliet, what are you calcui lating to do V said Mrs. Murdright. "It's time to make up your mind about something, ou know, ob served Miss Juniata Jess up. Juliet May lifted her heavy head and looked at them with vague sur prise. "Do?" she repeated. "What's there to do? I don't know what you sill mean." She was a daik, large-eyed girl with cheeks as pale as a calla-ieaf, a Spanish luxuriance of jet-black hair, and a eligbt figure, whieb warned to be bound bv the weight of her deet mourning. Mrs. Mur dright was a tall, masculine woman, with iron-gray hair aud a square chiD. Miss Jessup wore spectacles and moved around fn an active, jer ky way, like an extra-large. sized tomorrow since "It's a week your pa wa buried," added Mrs. Muidiight. Juliet winced. "Yes," she said, MI know it. Ob papa! papa!" 7 I "There, there," said Miss Jessup, as the young orphan hid her face in her handJ, "don't give way. It's unchristian, aud it's uucomfortable, too." "Aud it's high time,'' Nteadily ob- served Mrs. Murdright, "that you looked matters in the lace, Juliet May. You've got your liviug to earn, and ' "But I thought I was to live with jou," aid poor Juliet, who was as ignorant in the ways ot the woild as a six-ujoutb-old infant. "You are my mothers sit?ter, Aunt Murdright aud" 'That is hardly a reasou why 1 should undertake to suppoit every relative I have got iu the world,'1 said Mrs. Murdright, sourly, "lou aren't a child, Juliet. You was eighteeu last month, and there's many a girl of your age earns her own liviug aud lays up a handsome sum besides. Ami it's close on the first of June, and I need every room I have to let to summer boarders-' "And there is no reason,'' supple meuted Miss Juniata, skilfully seiz ing the opportunity to strike it when Mrs. Murdright paused for lack of biealh, "why you should nit with folded hand while 5 our cousin Artemisia works in the skirt-facto ry, and Louisa Lacy goes out to tailoring.7' Juliet eat looking from one to the other, while her heart seemed to stand still within her. At the Grange she had always lived iu luxury. She had been the darling aud idolized child of a doting fath er, sue nau never pausec 10 con sider the questiou of mere money. All good and lovely things seemed to assemble aronnd her by magic. every one had syoKen teuueriy 10 her; aud now aud now "What am I to do. Auot Mui diight ?" she faltered. "Is all my money speut?'' "Your money !" hysterically eeh-. oed Miss Jessup. "Poor child 1 You hain't got none. It's ail gone in rash speculations and mad inven. tions." "Juniata speaks ouly the truth,' said Mrs. Murdright, stiffly, as Ju 1 let's eyes sought hers, as if to ask corroboration of the little old maid's uuteeling words, "You're as gcod as a beggar, and you must begin to consider in serious earnest what you are to do for your bread. Jcau't undertake to support you." Juliet put her little cold hand in a pathetically pleading way on Mrs. Murdright's. "Auut," said sh", "couldn't I stay here ? Couldn't I make myself use ful to you V "I'm very sorry' said she. "but I don't require anyone to play the pi. ano, and sit aronnd the house in picturesque positions, and be wait ed on. You haven't been brought up as my girls are, Juliet May !'' Juliet recoiled as if a serpent bad stung her : she turned to MissJee sup. "Cousin Juniata," she said, ';you, ioo are my relative. Aid me! Ad vise me ! You have age and experi ence I am like a lost child in this great, cruel, grinding world !'7 Verily Jnliet May was but a nov ice fn all conventional wisdom, or she never would have alluded so uoguardedlv to the age and experi ence of the sprightly spiuster. Miss Jessup bridled, "I really don't know that I havi auything to say,'' said she. "As Mr-. Murdright remarks, people must expect to work in this world !" But Miss Jessup atudiousdy ban ished from her recollection the fact that, when she had first bet up dressmaking for herself, Squire May had generously lent her money for her lease, furniture, stock and fix tures. He had never claimed a cent of interest; he had never so much as hinted at the repayment of his Ion, and she had been equally silent. And it is to be presumed that she had quite forgotten the whole cir cumstance, when she added, with some little vindictivenesa: canary bird. j "And. to mv miud, it would have (been a d'al wither if your pipa had looked a little mote closely to his money, instead ol lending it to ne'er-donwells like Chauucov (ira ! ham to ponander!'' "Cousin Cuauncey was alwas good and kind !'' cried Juliet, color jing up. "Ue wouiii have paut papa it be could ! Ami it is mean and dm honorable ol you to s;iy wue.h things as these, Juniata Jessup !" "Hoity-toity !" cried Miss Jessup "Mean ! Dishonorable ! Well, if he ain't both, let him put in au ap pearanco and say what he has done with that money !'' As Mr, Graham was at that mo ment supposed to l e iu Australia, engaged in the tuauaguieut of a mammoth sheepfarm, this was per, haps a rather unieaouable demand But, to Miss Jossup's infinite iitu azement, and, perhaps, to her dis comtorture as well, the frout-dcor was pushed open at that juncture, and a 'ho: zed, bearded apparition, in a suit ot somtj foreign stylo and cut, stalked iu. "Is this Mrs. Moses Murdiight's house V said he. "Can any one tell uie if Miss Juliet May is here ' Mis. Murdright stared. Miss Jnss sup seemed equally amazed ; but, withaciy, Juliet May sprang to her feet, "Cbauney ! ' she cried. "It is my cousin Cbauney !'' "I am Channeey Graham," said the young man. "I ouly arrived in the port of New Yoik last, evening. lit all seems so strange to me to h ar that my cousiu, Squire May, is dead that Juliet is without a home !' lie stood in surprise, scat eel able to lecognize in this tall Amla. lusianilaced girl.the chubby cheeked little playleilow of former years. But when she flung herself so eonnMings ly into his arais, he held her with a fender and chivalric embrace. "Ob, Chauncey, I am so glad that you have come," she sobbed. "Ob. I was so lonely and forsaken ! No one has seemed to care for ne since papa died no one oflered me a home !" "7 will,'' said Cuauucey, quietly. " There, theie; little one, don't fiet. It is all smooth sailing now !" Mrs. Murdright here recovered herself so far as to extend a fish- like hand to Mr. Graham : Miss Jes sup pressed eagerly forward. "My dear Juliet," she said, with a little acidity, "you are such a mere baby ! Don't you see that your cousin isn't at all the proper person to take charge of ou ?" "Why not V said Cbauney Gra ham. "It seems to me that I am the very one. And my mother is in New York waiting to extend a mother's tender care to Julier." "At all events, my dear," said Miss Je-sup, "don't cling to your !ousin as if be were a floating spar !d you a drawoing marh er ! Do sit down ! Dear cousiu Cbaunrrey," with a smile which displayed very one of her false teeth to the very best advantage, "This is such an agreeable Mirprise. e have thought and talked of yon so much!"
