with a Bcicm-e pt-rfeet. We compli

came to the subject of cooking, when
the conversation turned. Tliey spoke
of politic and, after the end of the
talk, after littving exchanged ideas
more or less roinmonplaes on art,
literature and the question of mar
ring, we came, by a natural transi
tion, to speaking of dowries, wedding
presents, silver plate, and diamonds.
'l like the pearl belter than the
diamond," , said a Udy sitting near
"I," said our host end, "I prefer the
diamond, and I have my reasons for
it."
Ah! a story:' iaid one of us. "Tell
It."
"Would you like to hear it?" asked
Oar hostess.
"Yea, yea, the story!" aaid a clior
us of voices at the table.
MBe-- but I pass the betting on to
ttj husband."
MI take it," said Henry Marbel, our
boat, and he commenced:
"I wis young at that time, free in
WJ actions, and anaiwil myself dur
ing my hours of k-Uure, the more so
as my day's work was entirely at the
Office, of Mr. Durand, notary a no
tary very exacting, very striet who
demanded of hisileiks not only a zeal
all the time but also a serene and dig
ified behavior.
"I had been to supper with a num
ber ol friends, and 1 was staying there
to laugh and to drink, when the clock
truck 2. I judged it seasonable for
me to return to my home. , It was a
beautiful night. I thought that a
Jong walk would be good for me
would quiet my nerves which were a
little excited. I was directing my
steps, then, very slowly toward home,
having descended Males An b res Boule
vard; when, arriving at the top of St.
Augustine, I saw something at my
feet which shone very brightly. I
stooped and picked tip the object. It
was a diamond earring a superb dia
mond , and of great value, certainly.
"Well, thought I, tliisis a discovery!
Why baa tlie jewel been lost here?
"I unintentionally raised my eyes.
The windows of the third story of the
bouse in front of which I found myself
were brilliantly lighted. I listened and
I lieard the sound ot an orchestra.
Besides there was a Die of carriages
Stationed in front of the door. With
out doubt there was a party there and
the diamond belonged to a guest. I
was tempted for a moment to leave
the jewel with the servant, but what !
Eroof had I of his honesty? I reflected
ir a moment. I was iu evening dres,
not very much soiled. What was to
prevent my entering?
"No sooner thought than done. I
rang the door opened and i entered,
and mounted to the third story..
"All the doors were open a suite of
rooms brilliantly lighted, couples
dancing to the sound of ravishing
waits gentlemen in evening dress, etc.
"In front of the entrance, and in the
widst of them, was a lady of middle
age, decolletee, who was talking with
the arrivals, a smile on her lips. It is
the mistress of the house, thought I.
Ah! 'How amiable of you to come.'
and she gave me her hand with effu
sion. I will make my explanation,
thought I.
"Madam, I beg you to excuse me
"Yes, yes; becaiiHe you were late.
I understand you. You are excused.
But come quickly that 1 may intro
duce you to a young lady."
"But, madam '
Oh, no, resistance! To come late
well, let that pass but not to dance!
That- would be impossible."
"I made an effort to ay a word, but
I was in the throng, led in front ot a
young lady, and forced to use the or
dinary phrases of society.
"'Mademoiselle, will you give me the
pleasure of this waitr,?'
" 'With ple.wtire, sir. And I began
dancing in the salon.
"Bah! thought 1, I shall soon find
time to explain these things.
"Let us amuse ourselves for the mo
ment. It is what we have the right to
do, and amine- myself, it is my duty
to with my partner.

heaa hahtly on my slioulder. I felt
her hair lightly against my cheek; 1

her charming, and more than charm

1 returned to my data-ing. . Tlie walti
was Kiicceedett by a polka and then
another walti. I had tlaire always
iu my arms, hapj y at having her so
iiearme, and pioud, also, that the
impression I had made on her was far
from being unfavorable,
"All the time dancing and much in
love, I had not remarked that the
circle was formed in front of me. I
notu-ed the whispering, but abaorlied
entirely with my partner, I gave it little
attention.
"'Wait! Where is papa?" asked
Claire all at once.
" 'Your father, mademoiselle; shall
we look for him?
'"If you please, sir; however, you
will easily recogni.e him; it was he
wit U whom you sjioke when you lost
something from your nocket.
"At that moment all the doors of
the salon where we were closed as if
by magic, and a man with a scarf
around his waist entered. The eldorly
gentleman, the father of tlaire, ac
companied him, and pointed me out
io nun.
" 'Yes. it is a thief, officer " said he,
'a little while ago! saw a diamond
tumble from his pocket, rearing to
have a misfortune haptien to one of
the Quests, a friend of the house, my
lirxt thought was to prevent it, which
I did. He took it, and immcuiatly,
with a feeble gesture, nut it in his
pocket, but not so quickly but that I
recognized it as a diamond
belonging to my wife. I said noth
ing, but I went immediately to look
for my wife. The diamond was hers.
I saw the hostess. Hie did not know
the gentleman. 1 asked other people
who he was. No one could give me his
name.'
"The officer touched me on the
shoulder. 'Follow me,' said he.
- "I would have explained.
'"ft is useless, sir; you can explain
at the station,'
"'Hut' ' - .
"'Follow me,' said he.
"Then my anger mastered me. I
disengaged myself.
" 'Will you let me alone?'
"'Ah! a rebellion now! You aggra
vate your case, my friend.'
"The ollicer made a sign and three
large men, his assistants, sprang upon
me and took me, without my being
able to resist.
Before passing through the door,
then, 1 turned myself and my last
look was for llaii e.
"Women have an instinct which de

She must have understood, dearchild,
all the discouragement and sadness. I

inclination of the head and a smile, in
which I could read this phrase as
clearly as if she had pronounced it :
'(io, courage; I am sure that you are
great and honest.' I passed the night
at the station, maltreated by the of

confounded with thieves of the worst
kind.
"The next day all was explained

Bad Words.
Boys alone can put a stop to the
practice of using brd language out of
school; the teacher cannot know what
his schole rs say in the ball-field or tlie
streets. Parents cannot know for the
same reason, and least of all mothers
who would be ino-t shocked by im
proper words, ami could do most to
prevent their utterance.
There is one power only that can
put down low talk in the playground,
and that is the public opinion of the
school. .
But that can do it! There is notic
ing boys fear so much as the disap
proval of their school-mates, particu
larly if it is expressed in a mode which
conveys contempt.' '
It is a curious thing that the boys
who are the most likely to use had
words are most susceptible to this
kind of inlluerje. They are pretty
sure to be weaic characters with much'
vanity in theircomposition, and there
fore more likely to be afraid of the
opinion of others than of falling in
their own esteem.
Unfortunately, minv bovs. other
wise pretty good, are slow to perceive
either the evil or the disgrace of using
bad la niniai'e, ai id are a pt t o regard t he
practice as a sign of A sort of courage
that takes no note of trilles. Others
feel the need of eking out their short
supply of words by exclamations
more or less violent or indecorous.
An Eton boy. in describina recently
the ideal Ktonian, remarks that he
must have courage, truth, self-reliance,
tact and resolution, but need not
make his conversation at all times
"lit for the Iadies' Pictorial."
Eton is not the only school where a
notion of this kind prevails. No mat
ter what inexperienced boys may
think about it, all reflective men, ac
customed to trace effects to causes,
know that bod words are most close
ly related to bad conduct.
Jt is surprising how easily and
quickly the custom of using box) lan
guage can fall into disuse, if there are
only a few boys who hate and despise
it. A single hoy has brought it about
in a large school.
i he reform does not take place in a
day, nor in a mouth, but one after
another the boys catch the better
feeling, perceive the beauty of decor
um, and soon lie who uses vulgar
words is either exceptionally reckless
or a new scholar.
We are very well aware that bovs
do not like to be preached to on this
subject, and therefore make our ser
mon short. We merely remark, in
conclusion, that the use of language
either violent or improper is not a
sign of strength, courage, or independ
ence. On the contrary, it is an un
mistakable sign of weakness, ignor
ance and vulgarity. louths com
panion.
What Love Did.
Once I knew a workmgman, a pot
ter by trade, who had one small in
valid child at home. He wrought at
his trade with exemplary fidelity,
being always in the shop with the
opening of the day.
He managed, however, to bear each
vening. to the bedside of the "wee
lad, as he called him, a flower, or a
bit of ribbon, a fragment of crimson
f;lass indeed, anything that would
ie out on the white counterpane, and
gave a color in the room, lie was a
quiet, unsentimental Kotclunan, but
never went he home at nightfall wit h
out some toy or trinket, showing that
he had remembered the wan face that
lit up so when ho came in.
I presume he never said to a living
soul that he loved that sick boy; still
Ue went on patiently loving him. And
by and by he moved that whole shop
into poaitiveiy real but unconscious,
fellowship with him.- The workmen
made c.nious little jars and teacups
upon their wheels, and painted dimin
utive pictures down their sides, before
they stuck t hen: 1ij the comers of the
kiln at burning tin; . .
One brought some fruit in the bulge
of his apron, and mother brought
some engravings in a r ide scrap-book.
Not one of them all wh'spered a word,'
for this solemn thing was not to be
talked about.
They put them in the old man's hat,
where he found them; so he under
stood all about it. And I tell you
seriously, that entire pottery, full of
men of rather coarse fibre by nature,
grew quiet as the month passed on, be
coming gentle and kind, and some of
the ungovernable ones stopped swear
ing as the weary look on their patient
fellow-worker's told them, beyond any
mistake, that tlie inevitable shadow
was drawing nearer.
Every day now somebody did a
piece of work for him, and put it up
on the sanded place to dry; thus he
could comelater and ro earlier.
8o when the bell tolled, and the lit
co llin came out of the door of the low
ly house, rinht around the corner, out
ofeiejit, there stood a hundred stal
wart men from the sttery, withtheir
clean clothes on, most of whom guvea
half-day of time for t he privilege of
taking off their hats tothe simple pro
cession, tiling in la-hind it, and follow
ing across the villayo green to itsurave
the small burden of a child which nut
one of them had ever nten with his own
eyes.
How Marbles are Made.
All the hoy like marbles, hut who
knows how they are made or where
they come from.

Queer Pets.
Jako nnd Jerry were tiny lobsters,
fresh-water ones, but just, like the
ones you see in the markets, only
they were of a dirty green color, in
stead of bcinj red, and they were not
much more than two inches long.
Brother Will told us that they
would be red, too, if we put theni into
boiling water, but we wouldn't do
n-
I asked him if it wouldn't kill them
but he just laughed and told us to try
it and see.
Ray let Jake pinch his ear, because,
he said. 111 other Will wanted to kill
them.
I saw a big lobster pinch a little
boy's foot 'once, but 1 don't think
that Jake hurt ilrother Will very
much because he was so small.
We filled a tight box with wa
ter, and put stones and sods
in the bottom of it, with a hingle
on the top of the water for a raft.
sometimes they would climb upon
the raft and have a nice sail all
about the box.
They would eat bread crumbs from
our hands, but it was funny to see
them run backwards when a stranger
tried to feed them.
I don't see how they knew tbediffer-
ence, do you?
We kept them all summer, but we
didn't know what to do with them in
t he winter, so we had to nut them in
the riyer again.
'Ibis sprui!! we found lots of tiny
lobsters, under the stones, by the
river bank, but I don't think that
any of t hem were Jake or Jerry, be
cause they were fo afraid.
Kay says that when we can have a
glass tank in the sitting-room, he will
tame some more, but I guess that
time will never come, for mamma
don't like lobsters, live ones, I mean.
"Must" and "Musn't."
"A fellow can't have any fun,"
growled Tom. "lt'siust 'must' and
'musn't' from morningtill night. You
must do this, you must learn that;
or you musn't go there, you must say
that, and you musn't do the other
thing. At school you are just tied up
to rules, at home well a shake of
mother's head means more than
a dozen 'musn't. Seems a pity a
boy can't have bis own way half the
time and do something as be likes."
"Going to the city, this morning,
Tom?" asked Uncle Thed from the ad
joining room. '
"Why, of course," answered Tom,
promptly.
"doing across the common.
"Yes sir; always do,"
"I wish you'd notice those young
trees they've been setting out the last
year or two. There's something
rather queer, it seems to me. Of
course the old trees will die sooner or
later, and others will be needed, but
well you must observe rather care
fully, so as to describe their appear
ance, etc." ,
"What about those trees, Tow?"
asked I'nclo Thed after tea, as they
sat on the piu.a.
"Why, they're all right; looked
a little cramped to be sure, snipped
short off on top, and tied up to poles,
snug as you please, every identical
twig of them; but that's as it should
be, to make them ship-shape don't
you see? They can't grow crooked if
they would. They'll make as hand
some trees as ever you saw one of
these days. Haven't you noticed the
trees in Mr. Benson's yard? tall and
scraggy and crooked, just because
they were left to grow a they pleased.
The city fathers now drn't propose
to run any risks" -
But I wonder how th' trees feel
about the must and musnV remark

Exit Tom, wishing he had not said
quite so much on thesubjectof trees
and eoys. Sunday Afternoon.
Lincoln's Policy. ,
President Lincoln's humor was of
the genuine sort, the sort which is as
sociated with a habit of true serious
ness. The New York Tribune credits
General Palmer with telling a story in
point. He was in Washington in
18tt., and railed to see Mr. Lincoln on
a matter of business.
1 was shown into an anteroom, and
waited for some time. Senators and
others went in and out, and finally I
was called. Mr. Lincoln was being
shaved. I was "home folks," he said,
and he could shave before me. I said.
"Mr. Lincoln, if I had supposed at
the lliicago Convention that we were
to have this terrible war, I should
never have thought of going down to
a one-horse town and getting a one
horse lawyer for Pretident."
1 didn't know just how he would
take it, but rather expected some an
swer that I could laii'h at; but he
bnished the barber aside, ami with a
solemn face turned to me and said:
"Neither would I, Palmer, I don't
believe any great man with a policy
could have saved the country. If I
have contributed to that end.it has
Ut'ii because I have attended to the
duties of each day, with t he hope
that when to-morrow cam 1 should
be equal to its dut ie also."
Then he wt tied back into his chair,
and the barber resumed his work.

How a 'Literary Salad" is Made and
, Enjoyed by a Large Company.
It is often difficult to know how to
entertain aneveniii;company without
resorti.ig to cards or dancing, and it is
noticeable that some form of intellect
ual entertainment is becoming more
and more popular each year. Among
these is the "literary salad." Though
designed primarily for an afternoon
tea party. It can easily be adapted
to any social gathering. A few dcys
beforehand dainty invitations -e
sent out. These are written on pale
green note-paper, but in other respects
are in the usual form. The material
part of theifast need not be described,
as it is like any delicate nenn now
served under t he name of ladies' lunch.
After the tables arecleared, the host
ess seats herself before a tableon which
is a plate of green leaves, and with a
rap of her knife calls the ladies to or
der, thus: "ladies, I want to serve a
salad, and you are now invited to
come up in turn and select a share."
Of course, each one comes up in
haste, eager to solve the mystery.
- The leaves are pieces of green tissue
pa ist, on each end of which is pasted
a slip of white lctter-pnper, bearing a
quotation from some popular or stand
ard author.
As each guest passes the table she
selects a leaf, aud upon reading the
quotation gives the name of the au
thor. if she does this correctly, the
leaf is hers. If she fails she returns
the leaf, but some time afterward has
another trial iu her.turn. Someof the
quick-witted ones will soon collect a
large bouquet of the leaves, and to
the one who gathers the lamest there
is given a pretty prize of some sort.
To make the leaves for the "literary
salad," take light-green tissue-paper,
and cut it into the shape of large let
tuce or small cabbage leaves, leaving
a small strip at the bottom of each.
Fold the leaves lengthwise through the
middle, and slip it over a hair-pin,
pressing it together over the round
ing part of the pin. If this is done
carefully the leaf will be toautifully
crimped, like a real one just from the
garden.
Now writd the quotations upon
some slips of writing paper, and paste
them on the ph-ce left for this purpose
on the tissue-pnper leaf. Have a small
book with all the quotations and the
names of the authors written opposite
each other, so that thea warding com
mittee may have its aid iu deciding
who has guessed the gratcst number of
names. ..
Did Horace Greeley Write These
Verses?
In the days of my boyhood (above
two score years ago) I was an in
timateof the lamented Horace Greeley,
and treasured up many of his gems of
poetry, which in the lapse of years
have been lost to me, with the excep
tion of some few stanzas which I yet
retain in memory. In one of his stray
pieces, published under the title of
"Horace in Boston," and composed
upon the occasion of a discussion be
tween us upon the pleasing visions of
farm life as compared with the voca
tions we were then pursuing, he made
me one of his dramatis persona?, under
tha name of "Daniel Discount," a few
years of which I now give, in the hope
that you may be able to find aud pub

Happy the man, escaped from town,
Who sits in rural, smugger down,
Ami takes to cultivation:
TIuh Iluniel Discount pondering said,
And shook hi cslenlating head,
lu lonely cogitation.
Kotei, deedi, bills, bonds no more I'll scsc
Those daily pests of mortal man,
My eyes no more shall light on:
All meaner pelfl will despise,
Uiit hear awuv a nobler prize.

A turnip patch an acre square,
A cornfield somewhat wider;
Ten trees, that rosy apple brinR,

Why She Didn't Eat Oysters.
A wealthy lady had issued invita
tions for a dinner party of twelve, and
on the morning of the appointed day,
when conferring with her head servant,
a very accomplished and well-trained
waiter, she discovered that one of the
twelve silver shells, in which escallop
ed oysters were to be served, had been
misplaced. Rigid search for the miss
ing article having proved unavailing,,
the lady decided that, sooner than
give up that particular course, she
would simply da-line oysters when
they were handed her, and so the
eleven shells would be sufficient. But
when he handed her the oysters at
dinner she was int erested m conversa
tion, and mechanically took them. If
the servant's heart fell in consterna
tion at this, he gave no external sign
of it but speaking in tones distinct,
though low. said, respectfully:
"Excuse me, madam, but you said I
was to remind you that the doctor
forbade your eat ing oysters."
His mistress laughed and returned
the oysters to tlie waiter, saying in ex
planation to her guests:
"I am so absent-minded that I have
to engage Thomas to remember things
for me sometimes," which, indeed, was
literally true.
Care of the Hair,
The hair like every other portion of
the human frame if urn n red for w ill go
to waste and eventually drop out.
This is due to a splitting of the ends
of the hair, 0 that the interior oil
duct, winch nourishes the hair, is ex
posed, And the natural nourishment
of the hair run to waUt, overflows
upon the head, forming ibindrult,
which impede the growth of the hair
h much as the tares among wheat.
The het means to prevent this U a
.itreojilciuua of tl. hair, and this
