The dearest little rosebud of ;i girl, with cheeks where a pink Hush came and went, and blue eyes, with long, golden brown hushes and hair that waved without the aid of pins or irons. 1 always thought her name w;is the most suitable that could have been chosen for her, though the only wonder is that old farmer Judd did not name his only daughter Deborah, or Rebecca, or .Sarah Jane. l?so;miia had fortunately been her fathers grandmother's name, however, and so came a Hose JJud into the world; for Mrs. Budd had made the Anna a middle name instead of the first, and dropped it. When I began to like Uoc Hudd so much I seriously thought of proposing to her. Hiram Roper liked her too. He was five years older than I; a plain man of twenty-nine, with faint scars on Ills face and a bald spot on the middle of his head. A poor man, studying medicine late in life, because he had not been able to study in his youth, only hoping for his diploma in a year, with the practice all in the future; and I, at twenty-four, had the Moss wood estate for my own. and money enough to live on comfortably. There could be no comparison between us, I fondly hoped, that would not be favorable to me, and 1 coolly, though politely, took my place before him, and cut him out on all occa sions with Rosebud. I, young and rich and handsome, and, as I supposed, ele gantly dressed; he, plain, poor and shabby, looking ten yeais older than he really was. "What chance had he against me? And so he slipped quietly into the background and 1 made love to Rose bud, and one day kissed her on the cheek, and told her life would not be worth having to me if I could not win her; and she said nothing, but out blushed all the roses, and let me kiss her again. After that we walked boldly arm-in-arm through the village, and friends teased me, and the other beaux dropped away, and one day I gave her a ring to wear on her left hand forefinger. Two weeks from that day I went to London on business. I intended to stay a week, but I was so successful that I remained longer; finally I went into business in the city, and began to know people. I visited at the houses of wealthy merchants, and met their wives and daughters, and by degrees began to understand that, though my Rosebud was very fair and sweet, she was not a hot-house flower. In other words, her dress was not like the dress of a fash ionable belle ; her maimers were home spun, her education poor. She was very good excessively good, but not an ele gant lady. Then, too, she sent me notes in b'g buff envelopes, and used little T for the personal pronoun, which should have been honored by the capital "I." And Farmer Budd with his uncouth coats and wonderful hats and long straggling beard and hair, was not the sort of father-in-law that I should ad mire; and there w;is Miss Hannover. Perhaps that fact was the most power ful one of all the workings of my disen chantment; for Miss Hannover was beautiful, all millinery and upholstery; and Papa Hannover w:is called Prince Hannover by his friends, and had his dinner table set for forty every day; and wore a fortune in diamonds on his bosom, and made friends wherever he went, by his lavish gifts, and was the greatest stock gambler in London. Papa Hannover had smiled on me, and counseled me how to invest, and had dined me with his daily forty friends, and had said, "Violet te, love, this is Mr. Markham, one of those country gentle men of whom we are trying to make city men." Ani Yiolctte had smiled radiantly upon me. Since then how many tete-a-teies had I not had with her how many rides! I was learning to dance with her, and I had forgotten to write to Rosebud for two weeks, when came an anxious little note on blue paper, begging thus: "Dear IIexky: i take up my pen in hand much troubled in my mind re garding you i know you would write if you were not sick O, Henry, if you are sick do tallj'graff and let nap come up and see you. Henry i will not write any more until i hear from you i am too troubled in my mind. "Ve are all well and in the hopes that you will enjov the same blessings i remain 'Yours trulv, Rose Budd." -p. S. Do not let pa come if you are sick, i am so troubled in my mind." I hastened to reply, the awful dread of Mr, BmKft fatherly care hanging W f t words. PTo woman could RoTthat I did not choose remember that we were lMithrothed. After that no more letters in yellow envelopes came to trouble" me, and I paid attention to Miss Hannover, and invested my money according to Han nover's advice. And days and weeks and months rolled by, and if a thought of my little Rosebud, failing localise the sunlight of my love was withdrawn from it, crossed my mind, I drove it away with a sigh. I could not help it, I said ; it was fate. Fate meant me for Miss Hannover, for Yiolette, and we had met, that was all. No, not quite all: one dav I remember it was the day after a splendid ball, and I called on Violettc, whose escort I had been the niirht before one day I made this latter statement to Yiolette Hannover, and she having heard it, bestowed on me her most aristocratic stare, and asked rrie if 1 did not know that she had been engaged to Mr. Tweiityplum for six long months. "And to be married next week, Mr. Markham," added she. "So you see you must be mistaken about fate." "And you have only been flirting with meV" I saitl bitterly. "Do you know that you gave me reason to hope every thing from you?" "I know it is time for me to dress for a drive," said she. "So you must say good afternoon ; and don't look so ri diculously tragic, Mr. Markham. I hate scenes." And I felt that i deserved it all. as I went for the hist time down the steps of the Hannover mansion. In a fortnight Violette was Mrs. Twentyplum. In a month Mr. Hanno ver was bankrupt one of those who take a foreign trip with plenty of money in their pockets, while others lit crushed beneath the broken branches at home. My money went with his. I had come to London with a moderate com petence. I had increased it by specula tion until I was absolutely wealthy. Xow I found myself almost poor. There remained to me only the Moss wood property, which must be turned into a farm, and I myself must leave my hope of being one of the city mil lionaires behind me. and become a plain farmer a man of the same social status as Rosebud's father, without his com fortable knowledge of money in the bank to comfort me. However, with the bursting of the bubble fortune, the circle which had gathered about Hannover bad been seemingly scatttj( to the winds, and people knew i -Miss Yiolette had jilted me, and also that my money was gone. The city had lost many of its charms, and I wrote to the old woman who had kept the house at Mosswood for my father until his death, to make it ready for my return. Then selling the furniture of my bachelor rooms, and packing my smaller belongings in a few trunks, I started homeward. I must go back to Mosswood and be come a farmer. 1 should find Rosebud fading gradually away, of course, and yet I knew she would be prettier than ever. How she had loved me how un grateful I had been for that love. Xow I would make amends. I would write as many repentant letters as were nec essary, and she would, of course, forgive me. No woman ever forgets or ceases to love any man she has ever loved, you know. Yes, after a little maidenly re sistance. Rosebud would bloom for me agaiu. I was as sure of this as the train bore me onward, as I was that the moon would rise that night. There is no adage more true than the one that declares that misfortunes never come alone, but in troops. Often, of course, one brings the other. In my case the anxieties that had trooped so thickly about me made me nervous, and so led to a severe accident. Having alighted at a certain station, I delayed my return to the carriage un til iiiev nail started, I rememher run ning after them, and then what do I remember then? Darkness, dreams, pain, an awakening in a little room, with white curtains .and a toilet table, and a vision charmingly dressed. The same one saying slowly: "Yes, yes, yes ; I think he'll do." And understanding this was my old friend Hiram Rojer, I asked : "How did I come here?" trying to sit up, and failing in the attempt. "Well," said Hiram, "wife and I were at the station, and I saw you were a good deal hurt, and we brought you on. You know this is my house." "Yours?" said I. "And you are mar ried and in practice, I suptKjse?" "Yes," said Roier. "O, yes: getting on famously. And you've had a bad time, but you'll be on the right soon. Come and tell him he will. Rosebud." And there yes, there was Rose. After 1 had ruminated on the fact a few min utes, I felt that truth was stranger than fiction. "Are you better, Mr. Markham ?" said Rosebud, bending towards me. Here was a poetical story worked out in our proper persons. A wounded and repentant hero, I had been sent back to Rosebud, to lie nursed and forgiven. Had she not forgiven me, she never would have flown to my aid. All that I could do just then, was to squeeze her hand. She took it away rather quickly: but that was very natural. I had not seen her for three years. She did not know of my contrition, But she had not pined or faded; she was, on the contrary, stouter and rosier than ever. Just then, Dr. Roper being present I said nothing, but afterwards, :is the evening shadows fell, she brought me tea and toast; and. then I twk ner hftild and said: mcu x rye aiwavs iov bud. Tis true, a siren laid her tipon me, but the hallucination is yver. . . "I shall think you are wandering again," saitl she. "if you don't stop talk ing so. Do take your toast" -,V said I, "no, not a mouthful. Rosebud, until you will assure me that you will forget the past, and once more give me the love " "Mr. 3farkJiam!" cried she. "Call me Henry." said I. "Rose if yoa had hated me, would you 1 here so kindly ministering to my wants?" "Here?" said hlir. "Where should I be but in my own hon? I'm sure I've nothing to forgive you. either. Since you allude to our flirtation of tliree years a;co, and since you will talk of it, I will tell you, once for all that I don't think that we ever .should save leen happy together. And I :fiway liked Hiram the best, only he w.ifr so shy. And my goodness, we were uMttfedas soon as he got his diploma." Married I" cried I. "Why, yes," said Rosebud. "How efae should I le here? You know this is Dr. Roper's house? Didn't you know I was his wife before? Dear old fellow he is the btet husband woman ever had, I'm sure, and Mr. Markham, I know now that T never really loved you." I don't know whether that was true or not, but that did not matter. She did not love me then, and does not now, and I lost her. I live alone at Mosswood now, an old bachelor, with a limp, and the dysiep sia, and she and a boquet of little blos soms llourish over the way at Doctor Roper's. home time, perhaps, I may marry. Miss Flint would have me and so would the Widow Wiggins; but whatever I may get to wear over my heart it will not be a rosebud. I thre.w that away long ago, and Roper picked it up, and it makes his life fragrant The Woman Tempting. How evident it is that we are all de scended from Adam! We do not need the subtleties of ethnologists nor the dogmas of doctrinaires to make the thing certain. A father's face is re pealed in his child, his gestures are, his habits of thought, his tricks of speech; it is unnecessary for an angel to descend with the living coal in hand to lay mon some prophet's lips that he may declare the parentage; it is unnecessary for a philosopher to make deductions and draw parallels and confute imjossibil ities to the same end; the thing is manifest; they are coins struck in one die. And certainly we hardly need anything more especial to demonstrate our descent from the man who hid him self behind a scantier fig leaf than the fig-tree bears when he declared, in the face of his accuser, "The woman gave inf. and I did eat," for it is the first excuse that rises to the lips of most of Adam's sons to-day. Moses, if he had not had greater messages to bear, would have needed, for that one masterful stroke in masculine delineation, no fur ther inspiration than that given by his own observation and his acquired knowl edge of human nature, which taught him that the not-unsuual man will neverfail to shelter himself behind the object that there is, for shame's sake, tacit compact to leave unstruck, and belongs to some corps like that old army which went into battle with its children and its gods in front, on which no gal lant enemy liked to open fight The Spanish King who always, when any trouble arose, asked, "Who is sly?" originated nothing; he only followed in his forefather's steps. Ho held that it was impossible a man should make a fool of himself unless there was a woman in the case, and he advised all men in all difficulties to get behind that screen. And others do as he did. Does a young man lead a dissolute life? Yindication is ready for him when it is said that he would not lead it if there were not a woman to hold out temptation; he could not lead it if there were not a woman to allure. Xo body has a word for that weman, who could hardly create the youth's demand. Does an older man live days of self indulgence, neglecting home and his duties there for gay life and wine .and cards? The head is shaken in pity for the poor fellow whose home is made so unattractive by the woman presiding there, or so unhappy that he is driven to those baser haunts. Xobody says that his home is unattractive, it is his duty to make it attractive; but neither law nor nature gives him the right to hold himself like an Eastern pasha for the women to fawn upon, to soothe ;md flatter and delight ; that there is a mu tuality in all things and if he would do a little of the soothing and delighting himself, he would find his home grow ing more attractive every day, instead of less so. Does a man commit one dis honor and another, barter jiower for gold, sell his fair fame for money? Not a voice is heard declaring that the man was tired of honest poverty, with its labors, needs, struggles, tumults; that he wantad the comfort which assurance of wealth gives, preferred it and took the risks; that he loved his costly wines, his luxurious dinners, his fcist horses, lus line mansions, his full bank account Everybody without dissent avows that his wife wanted her diamonds and her Worth dresses. :uul to sweep like a queen throuirh society. Even when the Charge is not openly made in outrageous words, the dark innuendo supplies its place, and we are given to understand that it is the pettiness, the gross appetite, the vanity, of the woman that is .at fault ; it is never the sin of the man. In all this there is a horrible injustice. It is the lion that writes the book, and reads it too. For even were it true, which we are disused utterly to deny, it is also true that woman is at present only the mirror of man's wish, and what she is he has made her. If she has pet- tmess, it is fceenuse tlie nvy hand bas I y that largeness er. N nat grossness hers in the beginning; wb by ministering to the gross- neas of those who could enforce it If she has vanity and love of dress and display, not women, but men. are re sponsible for it the men who give their admiration, their attentions, their time, their good reiwrt, to the pretty and well dressed -women, and -let the plain and quiet woman, who is not so agreeable an object to the eyesight anil so pleasant a stimulant to the senses generally, go to the wall. It is, after all, giving too much po tency to so feeble an instrument to claim that if this man makes a fool of himself, and that one makes a wreck of himself, and the other dishonors his name and his life, a woman is at the root of it all. "My son," said an old Grecian, "is the ablest man in the .State, for he has hL mother in subjection, his mother has me in subjection, and I have overcome Mil tiados." The same principle applied here would make a woman wield a power.whieh none in reality accord her. She is not the lord of creation: and if she had but her equal place beside that lor6jallowedt we should hear no more of this "owardly cry, "The woman gave m,.unl I did cat" Harper's littzar. A San Francisco Karthquake. The middle of the bmad stn-et va filled with a crowd of breathless, pallid. deafcii-tricken. men. win had ht all sense but the. common intiuct of ani mals. There were hysterical men. who laughed loudly without a cause, and talked inflesrwxitly of what they knew not. There w we dumb, paralyzed men, who stood helphvdy and hopelessly beneath cornices and chimneys that toppled over and crushed them. Tliete were automatic men, who. Hying, carried with them the work on. which they were engaged one whose hands were full of bills and iMpers. another who held his ledger under his arm. There were men who had forgotten thcortliniwy instincts of decency one half drilled, who had flown from a iieighlkiriir bath-room with only the tovfel in his baud that afterward his nakedness. There were men who rushed from the fear of death into his presence; two were picked up, one who had jumped through a skylight, another who had blindly leaped from a fourth-story window. There who brave men who trembled like children: there was one whose life had In-eu spent in scenes of daring and danger, who cowered paralyzed in the comer of the room from which a few inches f phis tering had fallen. There were hopeful men who believed that the danger was over, and, having passed, would, by some mysterious law, never recur; there vrwro others who shook their heads and s.'iti that the next shock would be fatal. There were crowds around the dust that arose from fallen chimnevs and cor- nices. around run-a-way horses that had dashed as maillyas their drivers against lamp-posts, around telegraph and news paper offices, eager to know the extent of the disaster. Along the remoter ave nues and cross streets dwellings were deserted, people sat upon their door steps or in chairs upon the sidewalks, fearful of the houses they had built with their own hands, and doubtful even of this blue arch above them that smiled so deceitfully; of those far-reaching fields beyond, which they had cut into lots ami bartered and sold, and which now seemed to rise suddenly against them, or slip and wither away from their very feet. It seemed so outrageous that this dull, patient earth, whose home liness they had adorned and improved, and which, whatever their other fortune or vicissitudes, at least had been their sure inheritance, should have become so faithless. Small wonder that the owner of a little house, which had sunk on the reclaimed water-front, stooped in the speechless and solemn absurdity of his wrath to shake his clenched fist in the face of the Great Mother. The real damage to life and property had been so slight, and in such pro nounced contrast to the prevailing terror, that half an hour later only a sense of the ludicrous remained with the greater masses of the people. Mr. Dumphy, like all practical, unimagina tive men, was among the first to recover his presence of mind with the passing of the immediate danger. People took con fidence when this great man, who had so much to lose, after sharply remanding his clerks and everybody'else back to business, re-entered his office. liret Harte in for June. 'Gabriel Conroy:" tin-ibntr The Liberty Cap. When a slave w:is manumitted by the Romans, a small red cloth cap, called pileus, was placed on his head. So soon as this was done he was proclaimed a freedman (libtrtinwt), and his name duly registered. When Saturnius took the capital, in the year iV, he hoisted a cap on the top of his sjiear to indicate that all slaves who joined him should be free. Marius employed the same symbol when inciting the slaves to take up anus against Sylla, and when Casar was murdered the conspirators marched forth in a body with a cap elevated on a spear as a token of lilerty. The God dess of Liberty in the Aventine Mount was represented as holding in her hand a cap, the symbol of freedom. In France the Jacobins wore a red cap (bonnet rouge); but in England the cap of blue. with a white lwrder, is the symbol of liberty, and Britannia is sometimes represented as holding such a cap on the lKint of her sjear. The American -cap of lilierty" is also of blue, with a white land or lorder on the bottom, upon which thirteen stars are placed, and has been adapted from the British. There is no alisolute or positive regulation in regard to this cap, beyond its shape or color, so far jis America is concerned. It is in shape of an old-fashioned night cap or truncated cone.

A few day ago, Mr. Jarrcttc PouiitLt, a young gentleman of this county, was engaged in cutting wood, when a large chip flew up and struck him over the eye.
