THE STOEY OF EOSE.
A little brown woman standing
boldly relieved against the shadow of
a doorway in a little brown house.
Chestnut hair has she, and great
woodsy brown eyes, with limpid
lights and unquiet shadows, like the
little brown brook in the meadow. A
cheap print whose ground plan is a
solid expanse of brown, and which is
besprinkled lavishly with tiny scar
let and yellow autumn leaves, is fash
ioned into a wrapper whose every fold
presses itself into shape over the trim,
short figure. A look of expectancy in
the woodsy brown eyes and two poppy-burnt
cheeks tell their story ably.
And while he is yet coming, and
you may gaze your fill at the tropical
hued robe and the flaming face, let
me tell you more about her. Her
name, to begin with, is Hose Van
Dyke, a nice old name enough, with
associations of tubes of color and stiff-
jointed mannikins easles and sable-
points and satiny folds of brown, a
name that belonged to her good old
father, who, dying five years ago, left
It to her with his blessing. And up
on this scant heritage the little brown
maiden thrived and metamorphosed
into the little brown woman, who
taught country bumpkins their first
principles, and was well paid for it.
And it was well for herthatEhe had
put every extra penny by, woman
fashion, in a precious cracked tea-pot
on a high shelf; well, indeed, she
thought, fcince Terese Van Tassel, a
far-off orphaned cousin, had been
thrown on her hands," and was com
ing to share her hearth and home
with her on the morrow. Mean
while A bush was in the very air. Up
from the village that nestled at the
mountain's base there came the soft
chime of the clock In the church tow
er five, six, seven ! And the echoes
had not yet rolled their silverj waves
of sound beyond her alert ears before
the quick tread of advancing footsteps
set her heart beating wildly, and she
turned her face from the doorway to
gain time, It was so flushed with joy.
"Xiooking for any one, Miss Van
Dyke" asked a very pleasant, rich
voice, in a very matter-of-fact man
ner. "Yes, Mr. Lee, I was looking for
you," she answered, simply.
"Forme.?" with an affected tinge,
of surpriseiri. hlsoIeeJ'Hbvydid
you know how came you to think I
was coming?"
"There Is the theory of mental tele
graphy," sheanswered, drawing down
the creamy covering of her eyes.
"Oh !" he vouchsafed, at length, but
seeming unsatisfied with her answer.
"What a simple little soul it is!" is
his inward observation ; 'so sweet and
fresh and artless ! She has won a
place in my heart of hearts, and I
will enthrone her there whenever the
love light in the brown eyes grows
from a dancing wlll-o'-wisp to a stead
ier glow."
And her thoughts ran riot. "Will
he never, never know? Oh, to be a
woman to sit and mope one's life
away and let the grand opportunities
be lost 2s'ot daring to stir toward the
haven of one's desire not daring to
lift a hand as the idol passes poor
blind idols that will go by uncon
scious, and crush our heartsoutin the
passing!"
"How goe3 the school. Miss Van
Dyke?" he asked, looking at the
queer frown that knotted itself upon
her forehead.
"The school? Bah! I'm sick of
the school tired, tired, tired !" a lit
tle vengefully. "But it goes along
smoothly enough, of course, and will
continue in the monotonous tenor of
its way, until "
"Until what?" he asked, the sur
prise all real now, a little anxious at
her hesitation.
"Well, until my cousin arrives
and she may put me out some."
"Your cousin !" flinging etiquette
to the dogs.
"Yes, sir; an orphan, If you please.''
Philip Lee did not seem to please.
The coming of this orphan child
meant to him a breaking in, in some
way, upon their quiet talks and his
study of her. She was a charming
study to him ; and when he was just
beginning to turn the first leaves of
this interesting book, in must come
some stranger to break up his lessons
piecemeal.
"Sow old Is she, Miss Van Dyke?"
feeling as if he must say something
on the subject of the interloper.
"Indeed, I cannot tell; somewhere
between ten and twenty, I should
judg'e;" this.followed by a dolorous
sigh.
"Are you not well" Ah, what
would he not have given to have been
free to let that blessed-word of endear
ment slide from Its perch on the tip
oi uts tongue: "ion seem sick or
sad."
"lam weary. This-teaching is tire-
Eome work; and then it is lonely
here on tne hill when "
He turned those perverse eyes of
his, that would mirror his soul in spite
of him, toward the open door, and
waited for the conclusion of her sen
fence. But she did not finish. They sat
there in quiet, these two, with glanc
es wide apart. It pleased him that
this shy being should show her pref
erence of him before he spoke of sen
timent. Of course there was a reason for
this, and what that reason was is
quickly told. He had, years ago,
loved with a young man's firey pas
sion a ereature pold as ice, keen as a
sphinx. But the passionate flame
burnt high, and the incensesurround
ed the adored one, and clothed her in
a halo of glory.
And when the vision spake, and
the altar tumbled at her touch ; when
the incense melted from before his
eyes and his soul saw lier as she was,
the flame in his heart smouldered and
died, leaving naught to show for it
save a scar. And the old axiom of the
burnt dog dreading the fire proved a
verity in his case i for, in his dealing
with Miss Van Dyke, he clung to the
mainland of facts, and kept from the
dangerous ground of fancies.
Theynad known each other some
half a dozen months, and he had
called upon her on an average of
twice each week, and sometimes of
tener ; for on Sabbath evenings he
walked beside her to and from church.
He had come to unraval a little tan
gled thread of her inner life, and of
that little skein he wove a web around
and about himself from which he
could not escape. He did not care to
escape, In fact, but kept weaving the
threads with which she unwittingly
supplied him like a human cocoon.
On this evening of which I write,
he had come to her with a plan in his
head."I can get her to speak out
now," he thought, and thinking this,
he said rather hurriedly, as if waiting
longer to hear what she might say
were a thing impossible.
"By the way, Miss Van Dyke, lam
going away. May I hope that you
will not forget me?"
Away ! she had never thought any
thing could change in this dull, sleepy
suburb and now the greatest change
that could happen had come to her.
Going away !
There was no outcry, although the
heart buried under the flaming calico
autum leaves went throbbing on as if
It were a hammer. Into the eyes
crept a look of infinite yearning, but
he saw it not, for the womanly pride
came to her rescue, and her glance
went roving over the fady flowers in
the three-ply carpet beneath them.
"I hope I shall not be forgotten?"
he repeated.
"Ob, no, Mr. Lee," she replied
more absent minded at this instant
than any dullard among her pupils.
"Thank you. Well, I must be off.
The train leaves In half an hour, and
I just fiew up here to bid you good
bye." -j -
"The train I ..Goodrbye! Absents,
minded no louger, but, with senses
fearfully alert, she reached out her
hand to him in farewell. A touch of
her finger-tips thrilled him through.
What a warm little hand it was that
he held wihin bis own for a second's
space. Still, she had disappointed
him ; he had felt sure of an out-spoken
word of sorrow at his absence, but
she was silent. He dropped her hand,
turned about and left the house.
"Oh, Phiiip! Philip !" she cried,
spurred on to desperation. And the
cry came to him as he passed the open
window and stopped him short. He
turned on his heel and came back.
The gray gloaming was almost
swallowed up by the night. Away
into a corner where there was least
light the little brown woman had
dragged herself and crouched down,
her heart numb with a silent agony ;
but, hearing hi3 step, she arose and
stood waiting for him. "You called
me, Miss Rose?" her christen name
coming out despite himself.
"Yes, I called you. Philip Lee,
you have been a good friend to me,
and if you never come back again, re
member there is one who names you
in her every prayer, and who thanks
you with her every breath, for your
considerate kindness. I have been
alone so long," she went on quickly,
"that a friend, such as you have been
to me, seems heaven sent. Let me
thank you again!" She wa3 stand
ing before him now, looking with
great liquid eyes straight into his
face.
"No more than a friend to you may
I not be nearer than that ?"
At this her eyes filled with tears,
and clasping her two small hands be
fore them she tdod there, crying
qnletly.
"I must go Hose little one. Only
say, may I sometime be nearer than
a friend ?" The tears were more than
he could bear.
"When you are sure that yon wish
it yes, Philip."
He had left after kissing in knight
ly fashion, Jier hand thereby glori
fying, in her eyes, that small member
for evermore and -bad been just in
time to catoh the up-coming train,
which whirled him away to the me
tropolis. Here he stayed two weeks,
up to his ears in busines, but never eo
engaged as to lose from before his
mental vision the exact color and
shape of a pair of very haunting
brown eyes. But he would not write
to her. "Perhaps the little spark I
have kindled," he said to himself,
" a
may oe coaxed into a flame If I do
not be too rash;" and he let "nothing
venture, nothing have alone with
all his might.
On the daysucceeding his departure
came Teresa Van Tassel, who, to the
infinite surprise and dismay of Miss
Rose, proved herself to be instead of
the child she was expecting a wo
man grown ; indeed, one year older
than Tier would-be adopter herself.
"How Etrange it is Terese," she said
in her blunt, home-truthy way, "that
you should have looked for a protec
tor in me! And your respected
I guardian wrote to me that I could
take care of you, he supposed, as lie
heard I wa3 making money in the
little school. How abscred all this
twaddle?; I take care of a big, stately,-strongly-built
woman, fully as able to
work as T! Had he never seen yon.
Terese, this guardian?''
Terese had listened with eyes as
full of amazement at this speech as
well-bred eyes could consent to be;
and at this last question she turned
her fair, haughty face languidly away
from thejiltle brown bundle of can
dor, and said, with the least possible
hint of contempt in her voice, "Why
yes, Rose, of course he has.''
"And he thought you would come
to me for succor, and would not try to
fight the world's battle for yourself ?"
laughing, but somewhat anxious,
nevertheless.
"Icouhi not fight that battle, Rose
Tam not fit to volunteer."
"Fit!'1 her voice demanded an ex
planation. "Oh, what could Zdo?" and she
held out two very long-fingered, aristocratic-looking
hands as a piteous
reason for her "unfitness." "You
would hove taken me had I been the
child you expected take me now,
Rose, dear, and I will amply repay
you be.your companion, read to you,
help you about the house, but pray
don't turn me out upon the charity of
the world !"
And so Rose kept the tall, queenly
girl as her -companion; never guess
ing in her innocent heart that she was
a creature cold a3 ice, keen as a law
yer, heartless as a spinx.
And Miss Van Tassel ate bumble
pie in the sweet dependent manner
all her own ; did what she could to
help Rose; outwardly all servility,
inwardly something entirely differ
ent. Rose was busy as a nailor with her
school, which was to close the next
week, and hence got small chance to
gossip with Terese or grow in any
way familiar. 2sot that Terese mind-ed-her
inattention in the least a3 far
as gossiping went, for she was a wo
man with a still tongue, and had not
come clear to this out-of-the-way
place on the plea of orphanage for the
purpose of letting the b abject nearest
and dearest her heart leak out. So
they went their ways until vacation
came, and Rose, bringing her armful
of day-books and mementoes from
each loving child heart, came home
for a three months' rest.
Then they walked and talked to
gether jRose, joyoua and unrestrain
ed as.any"anaa?ed .wren, and ohatting
and laughing as if her whole life were
taking a holiday.
But it all ended one day, when the
curved, high-bred Iip3 of Miss Van
Tassel opened and sent a little sen
tencelike a barbed arrow straight in
to the guileless heart of her cousin.
They had been speaking of Rose's
friends, and Philip Lee had been
brought up before the bar, his friend
ship weighed and his kindness meas
ured, when Terese, who had been
listening greedily, said, throwing in
her voice an affectation ot deep sur
prise :
"You cannot mean it, Rose, when
you tell me that Mr. Lee o&me here
to see you so often ?"
"Of course, Terese, I mean it," at a
loss to understand her.
"And what did the people say of all
this?" cutting out her words in a
cruelly keen manner.
"The people say? Why, Terese,
whatever the people may have said
about It, they did not trouble me
with their opinions. I have no com
pany, you see, dear; they know I am
too busy."
"Too" but she kept that tboeght
to herself. "My darling Rose," she
went on, smiling a grim smile down
at the little adopter as she walked
along beside her down the steep hilly
road. "Rose, darling, you have sore
need of advice. My companionship
may be of service to you, after all."
And she coolly laid before her the
gossips she said she had gleaned from
the little suburb where "people will
talk."
"You seem to have made many
friends hereabouts ?" said Rase, in a
voice changed to that of an old, old
woman.
"Only the washerwoman and the
sexton up at the chapel," gazing piti
lessly upon the chestnut braid-crowned
head that came not even so high as
her shoulder.
"And they told you that?"
"They told me that others said so
indeed almost every one on the hill."
"And he must have known it and
h6 kept coming, coming. Heaven !
how base he must think me !"
"You should have hired some old
woman to live with you. Then it
would have been eminently respecta
ble to have received younggentlemen
callers ; as it Is "
"Say no more, Terese, let us go
back," and the uncaged wren carried
home with her a heart shot through
with the arrow of slander.
After that Rose caroled no more gay
songs of love and war, but sat within
doora. While Terese, whose spirits
when put in the balance with those of
her cousin grew high and light, when
roaming about, always took the town
ward track.
One night, when the pale young
moon hung a silver saber against an
opal sky, there came a steady tramp of
footsteps toward Terese, who had gone
wandering down through the grey
gloaming of the grassy front yard.
Swiftly she turned and openingwide
her outstretched arm3 held them so in
mute entreaty until he came. With
a cry of ecstaoy he clasped her to his
heart and rained kisses upon her high,
fair brow.
"My darling, oneo again'Warn with
you ! 0h the weary hours of absence
never send me away never let .me
go again, dearest!"
"I never will, Philip," this in a
scarcely audible whisper.
"The dews are damp, little one, let
U3 go within;" and capturing the
slender hands Philip guides her to the
open door through which shines a dim
light from a solitary candle in the in
ner room.
"Here," she whispered' motioning
him to a seat upon the doorstep. He
obeys, happy at being so command
ed. Tho fickle moon has hidden her
face behind a fast coming storm-cloud
and the miserable candle fiiekera and
flares in the weak draught between
window and door. He oannot see a
feature of the loved one, but her keen
eyes pierce through the darkening
gloom and feast themselves upon a
face, handsome and masterful, a face
she ha3 been searching for over a
year.
"Oh, my little primrose, I could not
keep the secret of my love from yoo.
Will you accept It, dear, and let me
have the sunshine of your presence ev
er about me?"
And his only anawer is a creeping
of a hand into his own. Holding this
treasure fast, he talks on about hie
brightened future, and hi3 low, rich
voice fills the small cottage, and ech
oes its pleasant music through the
rooms.
And when the clock tolled the ninth
hour he was still talking, too happy
to wonder at the quietude of the chos
en one at his aids, too full with "busy
thoughts to notice the little figure
standing behind him. But when
parting time came, and he rose to take
leave of her, he found the storm had
arisen in fury, and mutteringa of
the black artillery of inky clouds eame
roliiug down from the western coast
of heaven.
He turned about and faced the door
way. Then came a flash of a mis
chievous streak" of lightning whieh
made the plaee all about him like the
day. And in that second's time he-j
saw the hands he held were not the
hands of Rose, who stood, a soul-
stricken wraith, in the black door
way. "Philip," she said, her voice pinch
ed and uncertain, "You should have
told me. Did you think I wocld
stand in yourway, my friend ? Yon
are unjust nay, more, you are un-
rKind. fwoutti-have helped1 you-ha
you let me knowallthis, roryoe have
given me more than I oan ever repay.
You'are cruel, too, Tereae ; am I not
to be trusted, then ? Go away now
Philip, for Terese must come within,
else people will talk. Ah, heaven,
go!"
A3 one blinded and stricken with a
great woe, too deep for speeoh, Philip
Lee turned about and went out under
the pall of wide spreading raia
clouds.
"You did not gaess oar secret, then?
Terese asked of her ooosin, as she rese
and followed her into the house.
But there came no answer. The
poor little body grew too burdened
with the greet suflering soul to con
tain it, and she fell across the bed In
a dead faint.
Miss Van Teasel, among other of her
pitiful characteristics, had that of ex
cessive fright at even the appearance
of death ; so seeing the white, drawn
lines about the month of the poor,
drooping Rose, she ran to the door
and gave one great shout for Philip.
In the flash that followed she saw
him coming striding along through
the pelting rain.
He passed her without a word, and
hastened to the bedside where his
soul's idol lay stretched out, looking
strangely long in the folds of her
milk-white gown.
"You have killed her, you wratobed
woman ! Curse you, you have blight
ed my life, and you must needs end
your "
"Ah?" this from Rose, a deep
drawn sigh at the struggle of the soul
to regain its tenement.
"Out of her sight!" he whispered
hoarsely, pointing to the door of the
Inner room. And the soul of taelittle
woman at last gained the mastery ;
her eyes opened again upon the famil
iar things about her.
Turning her face from the wall, she
met the tender, anxious gaze of Phii
ip Lee, as he knelt at her side. He
touched his finger to his lips to com
mand silence, and told his story to
hsr.
"Philip," the old womanish tones
all gone, and her voice, aKhoegh bet
a very faint voice just new, wessweet
in Its cadence ae n bird song. "I can
not blame her, dear, for having loved
you. But, oh, to love yoa and lose
you !"
"She never loved me for myself, as
you have done, primrose; mysloraof
worldly wealth ha3 been her efaief at
traction. Stupid fool that I was to
have ever mistaken her for you I" an
gry with, as well as feeling an utter
contempt for himself.
"Worldly wealth?" looking hard at
him as if she would discover in his
faee this new found quality.
".Ye3, darling, lam sorry to spoil
your life's romance by not letting yoo
work these tiny fingers off forme; but
it is an absolute fact," he continued,
with a laugh of exquisite enjoyment
at her big, amazed eyea. "You have
heard, no doubt, of the great mogul of
our bonny State Gov. Philip Lee.
Well, dear, I am PHilip second, and
no fitter ornament could I wear than
my sweet blooming Rose." And he
drew her head to where npon right
royal breasts there flourish ths Grosses
of honor.
He laughed at her fears about the
people, but stayed not until the storm
had worn itself out, leaving at the
tenth stroke of the town-clock.
And when he raised the face to his
and gave her a first kiss of sacred, sol
emn betrothal, apairof blueeyes flash
ed upon them in livid wrath and hat
red, and out into the night there stole
a cloaked and hatted figure that nev
er again brought its hateful presence
into their lives. Pe&er&mCs Journal.
Feminine Fancies.
Hay color is now fashionable.
The latest notion in kid gloves is
half fingers.
The first dresses fcr fall are made up
with pipings and trimmings.
Beautiful costumes, and very ser
viceable ones, are now made of the
albatross and cygnet materials.
Picturesque hats for garden parties
are of white musiin, made tongue
shape and trimmed with India rib
bons. Handkerehiefe now come with bor
ders to install the sumeaer. suits and
the sets of Imperii, either in cashmere
or delioates bine or pinks.
The revival of brunetts has brought
amber into fashion again. It is both
exqukltely clear and olouded, in neck
laces, beads, crosses and combs.
The latest thing provided for trim
ming the edges of collars and cuffs is
an embroidery in Pompadour colors,
mixed pink and blue. In linen col
lars the newest importations are' those
with asquare piece turned over In the
beck, while the front has standing
English points.
The fronts of the high-necked cor
sages of evening dresses are now fas
tened with roses instead of buttons.
In the same way tufts of marabout or
ostrich feathers are used.
Creole cape manufactured from grey
stcJped foulard siiks are now worn by
young married ladies with morning
toilets. These cape are testily trim
med with lace, and are frequently
further adorned with a small cluster
of Sowers.
The newest eomb is called the croi-
sette. In shape it is Nice a fan, and is
worn a triSe to one side. It is only
at its, best when the hair is loosely con
fined In an invisible net.
The fashion of- waist-bands is again
upon us in full force, and there is man-
I u Facta red a variety, of buckles that is
appalling. There are blue steel, pol
ished steel raareassite, enamel, tor-
quoise, and garnet buckles, but the
most popular buckles are composed of
monograms of the wearer, made eith
er of silver or gold, or partly of silver
and partly of gold.
Our dress reformer warmly advo
cates the mitten ; indeed, she declares
that even 'in winter the hands should
never even be confined in a muff, and
yet the mitten is one of the laetthing3
that she can succeed in making popu

associated with uacouth childhood
and biting weather to meet with any
affection from our society belle, and
the more especially ad a beautiful

weaknesses.
Rve Pastaraee.
Xow is the time to sow rye for fall,
winter and spring pasturage. The
farmer who does not sow rye for his
calves, colts, pigs and lambs, makes a
serious mistake. AH kinds of stock
thrive on it, and nothing will bring
oat young stock like it. It eosts but
little and its benefits are great. For
milch cows nothing surpasses it for
giving a flow of milk. 2SV other
green food can be had at the season
that rye supplied It. Stock in winter
tire of dry focd. Green food opens
tbeir bowels, vitalises their blood, and
keeps them in a healthy, thrifty
state.
We have for many years practiced
sowing our corn fields in rye after lay
ing by our corn, with the beat results.
If farmers would sow rye in tbeir corn
fields, thev would have the best of win
ter pasturages, and the stock would be
immensely benefited. In a motet wet
time it will only be necessary to scat
ter the seed in the field ; but in a dry
time a light cultivator should be used
between the rows to insure a good
catch. The same ground can be used
again for corn the following year, and
the green rye being plowed under will
be equal to a good eoatof manure.
But farmers can sow rye after wheat
or Haagarian, or on old meadows they
intended to break up, and the ground
will be all the better for a corn crop
next year. Our farmers ere very neg
lectful in preparing winter pasturage
for stock and we hope these hints will
be acted upon. Rye can be obtained
at any of oar seed stores, and ean he
sown for the next month or two ; but
it is better to get it in the ground now
as soon as post ble. Rued World.
Gen. Grant will find a contrast be

characterize his reception at the Scot

whieh greeted him upon his arrival in
London. Being a man of simple

estentatioas display of the thorough

name and character. The elasaie
beauty of Edinburgh has passed into

oease. Yesterday, about 1 o'oteqk, a
'bopoer, oae of the green aad alSow
striped species, Sew through a window
into the laundry of FfclltpJSffiitkvtfOS
Washington avenoe, aad alighted on
the window sill. On examination the
insect was discovered to have a silver
half dollar, which It continued tohoW
firmly while seated on the sill. The
'hopper was speedily captured by the
daughter of Mr. Smith and the coin
taken away. The latter bore the date
of 1ST6, and was so bright and new I
appearance as to indicate that U had
not been in active circulation. Where
the 'hopper got the half dollar or for
what purpose it was transporting It
around was, of course, only a matter
of speculation. The elreu&aat&nceiaa
curious one, and its truth is duly at
tested by Mr. Smith and daughter, and
Mrs. Doueherty, Mrs. Calvert and
Kittle Mulligan, laesdry women.
The 'hopper is a monster specimen of
his voracious tribe, being nearly three

sessed of unusual musetiiar strength.
He is safely caged in a glass jar at the
laundry. Oktbe DeimocrtU.
