ARTIST MET HER IDOL. John Ruskln's Self-Introduction to His Admirer. Tho London Outlook tolls a pretty story of tho lata John Ruskln, artist, author, reformer, which Bhows that courtly and chlvalrlc gentleman and great writer In a playful mood: r Mr. Ruskln was taking a morning walk down tho road Just In front oi Brantwood, when ho saw a lady sent ed on a camp-stool making a sketch of tho house, and, with a courteous grnco which was intensely his own, he addressed her, Inquiring her reason for choosing tho house In question lor her subject. "It is tho houso of tho famous John Ruskln," sho frankly asked. "Havo you met Ruskln?" sho was asked. "No, Indeed," sho replied. "If I had, I would havo deomod It ono of tho greatest privileges of my life." "Then, madam, If you caro to fol low me, I will show him to you." In a twinkling tho stool and easel wero packed up and tho artist eagerly followed tho guide. To her surprlso and gratification, ho led her up to tho houso, and entering, bado his guest follow, which sho readily did. On marched tho stranger Into tho drawing-room; then, placing his back to the fireplace, a familiar attitude, ho ex claimed, to tho amazement of his com panion: "Now, what do you think of Rus kln?" From "The Giaour." Ite who hath bent him over the dead Kre the first day of Death Is fled, Tho first dark day of Nothingness, Tho laet Danpcr and Distress (Beforo Decnys offaclnpr fingers Have swept the lines vvhero Beauty ling res). And marked the mild ancellc air. Tho rapture of Itcpose that's there, The fixed yet tender traits that streak The languor of tho placid cheek. And but for that sad shrouded eye, That fires not. wins not, weeps not now; And but for that chill, changeless brow, Where cold Obstruction's apathy Appals the gazing mourner's heart. As If to him It could Impart Tho doom he dreads, yet dwells upon, Yes, but for these, and these alone, Somo moments, aye, one treacherous hour. He still might doubt the Tyrant's po-ver; So fair, so cnlm. o softly sealed. Tho first, last look by death revealed! Buch Is the aspect of this shore; 'TIs Greece, but living Greece no morel So coldly sweet, so deadly fair. We start, for Soul seems wanting there. Hers is tho loveliness In death. That parts not quite with parting breath; But beauty with that fearful bloom. That hue which hnunt.i It to tho tomb. Expression's last receding ray, A glided IIolo hovering round decoy. The farewell beam of Feeling past away! Spark of that flame, perchance of heaven ly birth. Which gleams, but warms no more Its cherished earth. Lord Byron. Properly Introduced. Margaret is a well-brought-up little girl who haB somo knowledge of eti quette. She has been taken to the country this summer to a bouse where there is a large dog. "Don't go near the dog, Margaret," said her mother; "ho doesn't know you and he might bite." But that did not suit Margaret and she knew how to arrange matters. Going to the dog, she made a little courtesy such as she has been taught to make at dancing school and said po litely: "Doggie, I am Margaret Brown." Then, the introduction having been mado and the dog having no excuse for not knowing her, Margaret waltzed up and petted him, while ho wagged bis tall with much graclousncss. New York Times.
