AT CROSS PURPOSES,
"Beautiful!" said Mr. Clever, ecstat
ically.
"Exfiuisite!" echoed Mrs. Clever,
iiton.lirio- nn tintoc. to ieci over her
husband's shoulder.
"Who's the artist?" said Mr. Clever
nut lino- tin his eve-classes.
"Doiinavetti. of Home," responded
some one who chanced to be nearer the
sio-lit-linc than he himself was.
"And what is tho subject?" demand
ed Mr. Clever, who, beinr a business
man, was not quite posted in poetic
lore. A ladv divinity--"'
"Ophelia!" interposed Mrs. Clever,
brisklv.
"Oh"!" said her husband, "from Shak-
apeare? 'King Lear ain't it?"
"Hamlet!" corrected Mrs. Clever.
"Oh. yes. 'Hamlet,'" nodded her hus
band. "I knew it must be in some of
those comedies."
"It's a tragedy!"
"What's the difference? Irs all one
in the end. .But really that picture's
something different from the common
I wonder if I could jret the artist to
paint one for me like it?"
"Hardly." said a connoisseur, who
was standinjr near.
"I don't mind expense," asserted Mr,
Clever, loftily (which wasn't strictly
true, for he did.)
"Yes, but unfortunately Donnavetti
of Rome, died twenty-odd years ago.
Mr. Clever's countenance fell.
"Oh!"' said he, "I was rather struck
by the picture that's all
"So was I," said Mrs. Clever; "such
a sweet face and the shadows on the
water so perfect! And only look at
the blue-llasrs and rushes alonsr the
shore."
"1 think there are one or two en-
sravinirs of it, vet extant," remarked
Mr. I'oulette, the connoisseur. "And
a steel-cnLrravin is next best to an oil
paintiiiir. vou know."
"An chronios?" said Mr. Clever,
pricking up his cars.
"Chronios?"" scornfully echoed old
roulette. "Of Donnavetti. of Rome?
"Horrid!" chimed in Mrs Clever,
nv, J jrot a cliromo yesterday witn a
trial pound of tea that I bouirht a
mere red-and-yellow daub. Nobody
toieratcs chronios nowadays.
So Mr. and Mr. Clever went home
from Moidore Million's picture-gallery
oened for a week to the public, to help
along some limninjr charity on artistic
thoughts intent.
"I never saw Mr. Clever so interest
ed in a picture." pondered the lady.
"111 surprise hint with one of those en-
oravinirs for our anniversary present,
if it can be obtained. Although I didn't
really fancy it."
"Maria was perfectly fascinated with
that sprawling woman in the water."
re licet ed Mr. Clever. "Tastes differ.
(Jive me a good, red-hot battle-piece or
a landscape with plenty of sunshine.
But if money'll buy the 'Ophelia.' it
shall be Maria's on the anniversary of
our wedding-day."
Mr. Clever dealt in hides and leather
on Spruce street a lucrative business,
although not an aristocratic one and
just around the corner an old Jewish
picture-dealer lurked, like a human
epider in his den. To Mr. Ezra Elias
scn our hero hastened and explained
his wishes.
"Yesh, yesh, I undershtand." nod
ded Mr. Eliasson. "Dere is one at
Mentoni's, but it coshts ah. mine
faith, it coshts its weight in gold! It
ish rare very rare. And dere ish only
one in de country."
"What would it cost?" asked Clever
with his hands in his pockets and one
foot tapping the fender.
"Sheventy-live dollarsh," said Mf.
Eliasson, after a hurried calculation
that the engraving might cost him
twenty.
"Order it, thou, and don't lot a soul
know who your order's for. Mum's the
word."
"I i;r!'!' :-ht.uid. sir. I understhand."
Mrs. Clever made haste to her friend
Mr. I'oulett. "
"Mr. I'oulett." she said. "I must have
that engraving by What's-his-name.
f Koine. I want to surprise my hus
band; but it must be a profound secret
from him."
"It'll cost money." said Mr. Poulett.
clicking his penknife against his teeth;
for when he wasn't an art-critic for the
newspapers lie was paying-teller in an
up-town hank.
"I don't care what it costs," said Mrs.
('lever.
"Sixty dollars at least," said Mr.
Poulett, whose conscience was less
elastic than that of old Eliassen.
"Then let it be secured at once," said
Mrs. Clever. "It will take the whole
of my month's allowance, but the
grocer and baker and other trades
people will trust me, I know."
So Mr. I'oulett wended, after bank
ing hours, to Mentoni's.
"Can you get that proof of Donna-
veil.; 'rnl!''', ha'i Ik-
-e had one," responded the cierk,
"but it's just been ordered."
"Ordered!"
"Yes. I5y old Eliassen."
"How much did he give -you?" ques
tioned I'ouletl.
"Twenty dollars."
"Put him off, can't you? I'll give
thirty."
" Vell." said the clerk, dubiously
stroking his chin, "I'll try and see what
can l done; but Eliassen's a crusty
f'dlow to deal with. 1 can write him a
note, though, and say old Mentoni
himself had sold the picture without
my knowledge."
Eliassen trudged around that same
evening in a rage and bade still' high
er, so that M. Mentoni's veracious
clerk gravely informed Mr. Poulett
that though sorry to disoblige a cus
tomer, they could not really resell a
picture which had once been ordered.
It was contrary to their principles.
"Come," said Poulett, "that's all talk!
If I give you $40 for it
"Quite out of the question," said the
clerk, who had been offered the same
sum by Ezra Eliassen.
"Fifty, then. It's more than it's
worth, but my friend rather fancies
it."
The clerk stroked his chin again.
"Well if it's a possible thing to im
port another in time for old Eliassen."
"How'soon does he want it?"
"liy the '3d of February, without
fail."
"Very singular." said Mr. Poulette.
"My customer named the same day. I
say, Jackington, I must have it at any
price. Come! I'll give you seventy
live down for the picture, possession to
be given at once."
And Mr. Jackington closed the bar
gain. The picture, neatly packed, was
delivered to Mr. Poulett. who imme
diately informed his fair client that
the "Ophelia" could not be bought for
less than a hundred.
"A hundred dollars? Oh my!" said
Mrs. Clever. "A hundred dollars-
tor a mere engraving."
"But such an engraving, ma'am,"
bowed Mr. Poulett. "One of the finest
specimens of art in the country. It
will be a srem, a perfect gem."
"Well," said Mrs. Clever, recklessly.
"I'll take it. Wot that 1 should ever
care to look at it twice but it's Clever's
taste."
Old Ezra Eliassen shook his head and
Mr. Clever came around the next day
to see if he f had purchased the
"Ophelia."
"Mentoni's copy is sold," said he;
"lor a hundred dollars!"
"Sold! Oh, han2 it," bawled Clever.
"But there's one thing, w;hoever paid
a hundred dollars for that thin? was a
full-sized fool."
"I could import one like it for the
same money," said Eliassen, watching
his customer s face.
"Could vou, though? By the 3d of
February?"
"I guessh sho!"
"Import it, then! I'll not be balked,"
said Mr. Clever, bringing his clenched
hand down on the rail of old Eliassen's
desk. "It's more than I can afford
and three times what, the thing is
worth, but Maria likes it, and Maria
shall be suited f-r once in life. But
mind, it must be on the spot by the 3d
of February, or not a red cent do you
"There shall be no mistake." nodded
Ezra Eliassen.
The 3d of February came; and Mrs.
Clever radiantly aw aited her husband's
appearance in iLe Lrcakf.it-ro jm, with
a brown paper package all twined and
sealed on the table. Enters Mr. Clever
with a ditto package under his arm.
"Dearest," said Maria. "This is the
tenth anniversary of our bridal da'.
Accept this memento of love."
Anil she gave him brown paper parcel
No. 1.
"Hello!" said Mr. Clever. "And I've
got something for you, Maria." hand
ing her brown paper parcel No. 2.
Oh, a thousand thanks:
Maria.
sighed
"Much obliged, I'm sure," said Mr.
Clever. And they both went to work
with scissors and penknife at the
twine and paper. And out of both
wrappings emerged the same fair,
lloating "Ophelia," in the same "glassv
stream," with the same blue-llags
blossoming along its edge.
iIr. and Mrs. Clever looked at each
and then at the 'Ophelias."
'1 meant to surprise you, love.
gasped Mrs. Clever. "And "you've
thought of the verv same thing. How
nd of you!"
"By Jove, I am surprised!" said Mr.
Clever, blankly. "Two of 'em! And
each one uglier than the other!"
Mrs. Clever began to cry. Mr. Clever
put liis hands m his pockets and
whistled. And lust then in bustled
Uncle Chipley, who always breakfasts
with them an their anniversary day.
"Hallo! said Uncle Chipley, who was
rather a dabster at the line arts. "Don
navetti's Ophelia,' eh? But you've got
two of 'em. A bargain, eh? Or at
auction?"
"I gave a hundred dollars for mine,
whispered Mrs. Clever.
"And I gave a hundred for mine!"
exclaimed ;her husband, dragging
savagely at his mustache.
"J hen vou were both great fools
mildlv remarked Lncle Chipley. "I

when I was over there last, for $10
apiece, American money! I hey re a
regular drug in the market over there!"
Of course. I appreciate the atteu-
lon, .Maria, and all that sort of thing.
began Mr. Clever, "but I don't want
this gushv thing on my walls!"
"Aud I'm sure it would give me the
nightmare to have that drowning face
in any room," retorted Maria, crisply.
Ana li anv one wants a proot en
graving of Donnavetti's "Ophelia." he

New York Folly.
A gentleman who conducts a her
aldic establishment in the neighbor
hood ef University place tells me that
there is a marked change in his busi
ness. "Formerly," he said, "the craze
was to be connected with the British
aristocracy. My 'volumes of Burke
and Debrett ' were black with re
searches. To-day they are almost un
touched. The mania is for colonial
times."
"Are there many families," I asked,
"that survive from colonial times?"
"Hardly any in the north," he re
plied. "And you may safely set down
the. Association of Colonial Dames as a
humbug. The, real colonial dames are
almost poor enough to beg in the
streets."
"Who, then," said I. amazed, "are
the persons parading as colonial
dames?"
"Nobodies," said he. "I create them
in this office. I connect them dis
tinctly it is astounding how many
distant connections a family can be
made to have with the Livingstones
or some of the older houses. Furnish
a woman with a pedigree and she is
happjer than with a dozen new bon
nets." "But what do the husbands say?" I
protested.
"Oh," he replied, "the husbands dontl
care. They arc content to go to that
club while their wives compare pedi-j
grees at home. 1 here is money m
business like mine." Truth.
Quite a Noticeable Difference.
"Do the men treat you any different
ly since vou have been promoted?" asu
ed his friend.
"Yes; a little."
"More respectful to you, I suppose?1!
"Ye-es, but that's not the most noJ
ticeable thing."
"Don't grumble when you ask thenW
to do anything, perhaps?"
"Not so much as they used to; btttt
thalr isn't the greatest difference."
"Well, then, what is?" 1
"Why, they always laugh now wh
iej
I tell a funny story.
"Really?"
"O yes; and they - seem interested!
when I talk of the bright things my!
children say and do."
The friend gave a dubious shake of
his head.
"Don't you let Blaine hear of that,"
he said.
"James G. Blaine?" asked the other
in surprise.
"Certainly."
"W'hynot?"-
"He'll be offering them foreign mis
sions. . You have an office full of
diplomats." Chicago Tribune.
Why He Did It.
A short time ago, as I was crossing
Market street, near Twenty-second
street, a boy not over ten years old,
who had been walking just before me,
ran into the street and picked up a
broken glass pitcher. 1 supposed he in
tended the pieces as missiles, since the
desire to throw something seems in
stinct in every boy. Consequently I
was much surprised when he tossed
the pieces into a vacant lot at the cor
ner and walked quietly on. As he
passed me, whistling, Iaid:
"V hy did you pick up that pitcherr"
"I was afraid it might cut some
horse's foot," he replied.
My next question was a natural one:
"Are you a Band of Mercy boy?"
He smiled as he said: "Oh, yes;
that's whv I did it."
The bands of mercy were drawn very
closely around the dear little fellow's
heart, I am sure. behoof and Hume.

YOUR DAUGHTER.
If You Don't Know What
to Teach Met,
Read This.
Teach her that not only must she
love her father ami mother, but honor
them in word and deed, says the
Ladies' Ho?nc Journal.
That work is worthy always when it
is well done.
That the value of money is just the
good it will do in life, but that she
ought to know and appreciate this
value.
' That the man who wishes to marry
her is the one who tells her so and is
willing to work for her, and inz the,
one who whispers silly love speeches
and foro-ets that men cease to be men
when they have no object in life.
That her best confidant is always
her mother, and: that no one sym
pathizes wjth her in her pleasures and
joys as you do.
J hat unless she shows courtesy to
others she need never expect it from
them, and that the best answer to rude
ness is being blind to it.
That when God made her body He
intended that it should be clothed
properly and modestly, and when she
neglected herself she is insultine: Him
who made her.
Teach her to think well before she
says no or yes, but to mean it when
she does.
Teach her that her own room is her
nest, and that to make it sweet and at
tractive is a duty as well asa pleasure.
leacn tier that it she can sine or
read or draw, or give pleasure in any
way by her accomplishments, she is
selfish and unkind if she does not . do
this gladly.
Teach her to be a woman self-re
specting, honest, loving and kind, and
then you will have a daughter who
will be a pleasure to you always, and
whose days will be long and joyous in
tne land which the Lord hath fjiven
her.
