There is scarcely any thing more un fortunate for ft man than the absence of loving women around his childhood and youth. Mark Ripon had never known such women, and I offer this fact as some palliation for his want of faith in them. He was ignorant of his parentage; 'BThad been found one summer, morn ing on .the steps of the Foundation School in Baxtersgate, Ripon; and as it was on the festival of St. Mark, he had received the name of his native city, and been adopted by the institu- tin , .. . "Wholesome food, stout clothing and a decent trade had been given him by the Foundation, and in many respect he was felt to have done it honor, for after fifty years of creditable citfoen ship, he was oncof the cathedraHves- try, sat in the Common Council of the ancient city which had adopted him, and was said to be worth 50,000. But there is a success which the world sees little of that of the heart and in thi3 respect Maik Ripon was the veri est pauper. Of the nurses and matrons who had been around his earliest years he had not one tender memory; none of them had fed the hunger of Iiis heart. He had no home, no mother, and no sister. The school had been simply a place in which to eat and to sleep and to learn. Unfortunately, when the lad fell in Jove, it was with a pretty flirt inGnitely more heartless than himself. But Mark's love had been cruelly deceived and mocked, and he had come out of his chagrin and sorrow with a confirmed belief in the general and natural un faithfulness of women. Poptilar maxims and jests confirmed him every day in his idea, and, like most Englishmen, hav ing once avowed this a3 hi3 opinion, every reiteration of his own idea was a fresh confirmation of it. But ho had many friends among his own sex. Men generally spoke of him as a crusty old bachelor, but otherwise a well-to-do, shrewd, and honorable fellow. Chief among these friends was young George Downes, the child of the only companion his boyhood had ever known, and his own godson. If Mark Ripon loved any human being, it was George Downes, though, as the latter "grew up to manhood, he gave him a great deal of anxiety. For George pre ferred the society of women, and would not credit Mark's positive assurances of their unive:sal falseness and un worthincss. One moonlight uiglit, as "Mark was coming from a vestry meeting, ho met George in the cathedral close, and on his aim was a very beautiful girl. The old man looked angrily and doubtfully at the pretty face lilted to his favorito's. The bright moonbeams touched her long, fair curls, and made the white veil around them like a glory. Majk-re- niembered just such alovelyj innocent jjjjsJiUcurroTnsrand ho had no doubt whatever that this girl would be just as false to George as pretty Jbanny Maltby had been to him. George, however, would not be per suaded to doubt her. Then Mark offer-, cd to pay his expenses if he would go abroad and travel for two years ; but George said " he had just got a place in Butterfield's Bank, and preferred a home." The young "man, in Mark's eyes, was bent on ruining himself, and in a few weeks he celebrated his wed ding with an elaborate rejoicing that roused the old man's bitterest con tempt. George fully expected that he would now be ignored, and probably lose for ever any chances he might have had of inheriting his godfather's wealth. But Mark was unlike tho generality of men in many respects, and in none more than in nis behavior to the young man who had so flagrantly disregarded all his advices and entreaties. He redoubled his care over him, and watched all his movements with a con stantly increasing interest. Ih fact, ho did not blame George qtall; he regard ed him as one who, in an unfortunate hour, had fallen into the hands of a power which was too great for him. He pitied the happy bridegroom, and re solved as soon as possible to release him from the toils of the woman who had charmed and enslaved him. In vain George's wife, smiled upon and entertained Mark Ripon. He vis ited her house, indeed, for it was neces sary to watch her movements; but f neither her smiles, nor songs, nor at tentions moved Mark. He had gone through that delusion once, and was .not to" be deceived again. It was one -great point in his favor that George had taken a house in such a situation that he could keep the young wife under very close surveillance, and he was confident that sooner or later he would prove her all that he believed women universally to be. But month after month went by, and George was more in love than ever. There had also come to the happy home, over the way from Mark's, a fine little boy, that had been called after him, and a blue-eyed girl, whom not even Mark could yet find in his heart to regard as 3ki alseand dangerous. He was even ven turing" to make Mrs. George Downes that exception said to be contingent on every rule, when suddenly all his sus picions were forced into active life and prominence. One" day a very wet one a cloie car riage drove up to George's house, and Mrs George, heavily cloaked and veil ed, was driven away in it. "Very well, ma'am," said Mark, sus piciously, to himself, "we shall see whether you confess to having been out to-day." So he went over to George's, played a rubber or two with his favorite, and tried every way to induce a confession as to the drive in the rain ; but the young wife would make no allusion to It. This was on a Monday. On Thurs- day, at the same hour, the carriage came again, and George's wife went away in - iL The -next week she went out on three different days, and twice, the weather being fine, he noticed that she wore her very best satin dress, the rich blue brocade that had been one. of her wedding raits. J3?he affair was beginning to look very black to Mark, for he had satisfied him self that George had been told nothing whatever of these clandestine excur sions. On the next Monday he had a carriage waiting, and when the lady went out again he directed his driver to keep .her well in sight. In this way he followed her beyond the aristocratic precincts of the city, to a little house set back in a garden quite in the suburbs. a -M.T-C- handsome foreign-looking man mpf: liP.r at the door, and led her with ; .manyjBmiles into the house. Maik sent Ms carriage hoaae, and, in j r? spite of the cold, patiently waited.

" Come on Thursday, and sec for yourself, George." " If I do, godfather, it will not be be cause I suspect my wife, but because I am pure to prove you wrong." Still George thought it singular that he could not by the most adroit ques tioning get from his wife any allusion to these mysterious visits. At length he said, " Emma, I will ask for Thurs day afternoon, and we will go out to Aldborougn woods, ana gei ine nouy and mistletoe for Christmas. What do you say?" " I can't go Thursday, George, dear; I have so much to do." " What have you to do?" " More than I can tell you. Is it not near Chrutmns, and does not that im- Ely all sorts of housekeeping duties? ut I will go with you Friday, dear." George was a little cross at the re fusal, and answered, gloomily, "No; he had lost the wish to go now." Then both were silent, and tho evening was not a pleaant one. All the next day he told himself that he would not go and watch his wife Thursday; yet when the day came he was sitting with" his god father at the window. At the usual hour the carriage arrived, and Mrs. Downc3, with her hair as elaborately dressed as if she was going to a state dinner at the bishop's palace, ran down the steps, and was soon driven rapidly away.

I believe I will wait until she tel's me." " Don't be such a fool, George; go and question the servants." After a little reflection, George cross ed to his Own house and rang the bell. The house-maid seemed astonished at his appearance, and when he asked where her mistress was, said she had not seen her since she had taken her orders for dinner. Then George went up to the nursery. " Where is your mistress, Ann?" - " Ts she not in thft parlor, sir?" " You know ehc is not. Where did she go in the carriage?" "Indeed, sir, it is my business to mind the children; the mistress knows her own affairs, without the likes of me meddling in them." Ho turned round impatiently, went back to Mark Kipon, and got an accu rate description of the house to which he had traced Mrs. George ; and in half an hour the half-curious and half-angry husband stopped at the pretty cottage. All was quiet about it, there was no ap pearance of company, it looked almost deserted in its wintry garden. An exceedingly lovely woman, though evidently in frail and failing health, opened the door for him, saying in an inquiring voice, "You want the signor, sar?" "No, I wish to see Mrs. Downes; she is here, I believe?" "Ah, yes; she is here. If you will please to go up one stair. I am so weak and tired always." She pointed to the stairs, and George went thoughtfully up them. Half way there was a little landing and a door, and here he heard a strange musical voice, anLthen his wife's merry laugh to its observation. It nettled George; he knocked sharply, and before an answer could be given opened the door and went into the room. Oh, George, how provoking! What made you come, dear?" His wife was sitting in all her bridal finery on a little elevated platform, and Signor Sarti was putting the last touch es to a lovely portrait of her. " I meant it for your Christmas gift, George, and you have peeped before hand. Is not that too bad?" " Indeed it is, Emma." But Emma was almost satisfied with his peeping, so proudly and lovingly did he take her home. "How did you find me out, George?" " Oh, you are easy to find out,Emma. Of course I knew if you went out in a carriage, that you got the carriage at Morel's. But how do you come to know this Frenchman?" 41 You think all foreigners are French men, George. He is an Italian, and so is his beautiful wife. He came from London to paint my Lord Bishop and the cathedral, and the signora was so much better here that he resolved to spend the winter in Yorkshire, and try and make enough to take hor home to Italy in the spring. My lord asked me to have my picture done, and papa paid for it in order to surprise you. I think, George dear, you had better not let papa know you have spoiled his surprise." George felt more and more sorry and humiliated as he looked in the pretty, frank face, and thought how cheerfully, after all, she had taken the forestall ment of her Christmas secret. " I will do as you say, Emma. Has the signor plenty of work?" f,"He is painting many of the princi pal ladies in the city. The Bishop thinks very highly of him. Indeed, I nave seen nis lordship there at all my visits." nearly George let the subject drop now as quickly as possible to Emma; but he talked a good deal about it and in no very good temper to his godfather. For once Mark had no excuse for his suspicions. He was quite awed by the fact that he had dared to think wrong of interviews which the bishop had ar ranged and honored with his presence. He had lost faith in his own penetra tion regarding the sex, and George and mma were quietly at some pains to convince him that good and true worn n are the rule, and not the exception. And though I can not describe exact ly how it came about, I know that the next Christmas Mark was the gayest old bachelor in Ripon, and opened the festival bill at George's house with Sig nor Sarti's handsome sister the very same lady whom the Bishop himself, very soon afterward, made Mrs. Mark Ripon.

Im agine this fantastic youth indulging in the boyish caprice of tormenting his be loved. He teased her with trifles and idle suspicions; was jealous without cause, till at last her endurance was exhausted. No sooner was be aware of this than he repented and tried to re cover the jewel, but in vain. So fall away the blossoms of love. Hi mobile nature soon dried tho tears wrung from him by the las of Kat chen. He reached Strassburg in 1770; the one spot above all others of special in terest, as the home of Frederika. From the first hour this bright young creature bounded into Goethe's presence the two hearts rushed into one. Gayly passed the days, the youngsters hourly falling deeper and deeper in love. But the so cial disparity was great, and although love in no wise troubled itself about sta tion, there is quite a different solicitude felt by approaching marriage. Goethe was called to leave Strassburg to leave Frederika. v With a touching sentimont he bore away a sprig of jessamine which, in days gone by, had been touch ed by the white hands of the peasant girl, and placed it in his pocket-book as a souvenir! In the spring of 1772 he arrived at Wctzlar, with the arrow in his breast, and the image of the last beloved could only be" banished by the presence 0 an other. He saw in Lottchen his ideal, but soon found that as she was betroth- was full of danger; there was no safety bet in night. So, bidding adieu to this romance, he devoted himself to law, lit erature and painting. Anna Elizabeth Scboncmann, immor talized as " Lili," was the daughter of a banker in Frankfort, and this child of 16 next ensnared the heart of Goethe. She wai confessedly a coquette, and served her adorer as he served poor Katchen. Disparity of station again arose as a barrier, and the betrothal was canceled. The lover was once more free, but not happy, and quitted forever the paternal roof. In November, 1776, Goethe, need 26, arrived in the little City of Weimar. His heart was stjl trembling from the late agitations? and hence was morelia blo to the invasion of a new idol. Hith erto he has been captivated by young girls ; now he is fascinated by a woman a woman of rank, elegance and cul ture; who made herself necessary to him, made her love an aim, and con tinued to keep him in the pleasant fever of hope. Charlotte Von Stein was mis tress of herself, and Goethe's passion for her excited sympathy without a word of blame. The quiet influence of the Frau Von Stein is visible in all his alterna tions. At last he said, " I will give up this vain love I will be lord over my self." Leaving this woman as an image which pursued him, he plunged into the destiny of to-morrow saying "Who knows whither he is hasting? The morn ing wakes us to new joys ; the evening brings us the hope of new pleasures." One day in the autumn of 1788Goethe was accosted by a bright looking girl, by name Christine Vulpins. Her nai vete and gaiety completely fascinated the poet, and she became the mistress of his affections. One would fain pass over this episode, but itis too generally known to be ignored, and suggests a tragedy which finally resulted ih mar riage. The death of the wife Christine wts the saddest event of hi-j life. She who for eight and-twenty years, had loved and aided him, could not be taken from him without making him deeply feel the loss. In a letter to Zetter, the words were these: "When I tell thee, that my dear little wife has left me, thou wilt kuow what that means." As the years increased Goethe work ed harder. There was abundant life in the old Jupiter; who had scarcely a wrinkle of age ; whose large brown eyes had still a flashing splendor. In the seventy-fourth year of his age, he had youth euough to love and it was thought he would marry the Fraulein Von Lewezon, but the ridicule of frieids withheld him. Ottilie, the widow of his son, devoted herself to cheer his last days. When the final darkness came, she sat beside him, holding his hand in both of hers, until the sleep in which a life glided from the world. Goethe lived and loved no more. A Bird's Courtship and Death. Do birds have a language of their own, and have they any of the emotions of humans? A lady, who lives on Olive Street re lates the following: A few days ago there fell in front of her window from a tree a "chippy" or ground bird, such as chatter about the parks and streets. It seemed weared and crippled. She pick ed it up, carried it in the house, fed it from her own mouth and at night placed it in the cage with her canary. The canary at once bestowed upon the new comer all of the attention of a mother, and nestled beside the little stranger during the night. In the morning the lady placed the chippy in the window so that it might have the privilege of regaining its rreeaom. it piumea its tiny wings and went away. The canary mourned during the day as if he had lost his mate. In the evening the chippy came back and perched upon the win dow. The sash was raised and it flew in and nestled upon the cage; the canary at once struck up his liveliest notes and seemed gratified. This was repeated two or three days, the chippy going each morning and returning in the evening. One day it went away and did not come back. The canarv droop ed, and the next day fell dead from his perch in the sunshine that played over his gilded cage in the window. That night the chippy returned, and during the evening it mourned over its dead companion. In the morning it cluag to the cage until it was turned out. For a few days the empty cage was hung ia the window, and on each succeeding evening the chippy returned and chirp ed as it it was grief-stricken. One day it brought a petal of a tube rose in its bill, dropped it in the cage, flew away and never came back. St. Louis Timea- Jottrnol. n It ia said Mgr. Capel will lecture in the United States.

Bat any omTof thcm had bet - tr take thought bftfora it nnu itclf in comnarison witn th'u Emlihman's country seat in semi-civilized Mexico. This wealthy gentltufla, who makes occasional visits to see how his business i-thriving, also owns a handsome city residence in the Mexican capital. It stands in a very conspicuous place, and its outer walls are covered with the Minton tile3 with which wo New York ers ornament our mantelpieces. The country residence, which w not digni - fied by a name, is two or three miles out of the city, on a little elovation, where tho trees are green from the 1st of Janu- ary till the 31st of December, and where a bouquet of roses and violets and hva- cinths may be gathered in the garden on any February morning. All the small articles of valuo in tlie taken away, 1 had no diOicuJty m gee- ting a note from Mr. Barron's agent to the adminUtrador, admitting me to the place, and one morning a party of Americans entered two or three ot the wretched Mexican hacks and drove out. Wo drove, that is, very nearly out to the place. The house being set on a hill, and a number of the horses refusing ut terly to climb the hill, wo walked the remainder of the way. THE OUO UK D3 that surround this house aro as nicely laid'out and kept as any part of Central Park. Life-size statues peep at yoa through the branches of tho green trees ; the walks wind through little green val leys, turn unexpectedly past miniature cascades, and lead to rustic scat?, cool grottoes, and beside steep precipices. The trees are such as grow on the low lands of the ceast, on the mountain sides, under the hot tropical sun, in the cold winds of the North, and in the temperate zones. There were enough Amei ican trees to make the place look like a Hudson River summer residence, and enough palms and other tropical trees to give it the appearanco of a Cu ban hacienda. Flowers were in bloom everywhere, the most brilliant and deli cate and beautiful flowers of the tropics. It might have passed for the Garden of Eden if any of the Adam family had ap- I peared among the bushes. There wero walks made oi shells ana peonies ana stones and unromantic tar. Standing on the edge of the hill and looking oil to the southward, the two great Mexi can volcanoes could plainly be seen Popocatepetl and Lxtacixuatl. One of the party got the muscles of his lower jaw in a terrible tangle trying to pro nounce the names, so we christened them Tom and Jerry. Some of the party wanted to call them Moody and Sankey, but the more serious of us could not consent to this. Tom is the highest mountain in America, and its summit is always covered with snow. Jerry is prettv high, too, but not quite as high as Tom. They are both very successful as high hills, but as volcanoes they are dead failures. They look from here, in this clear, rare atmosphere, as if they were three or four miles away one is 60, the other 80. They make a very nice background for a gentleman's yard. THE HOUSE itself is very broad and very deep and very low. The first story is surrounded by a broad balcony, whose roof makes little verandas in front of most of the windows of the second story. The house is built of stone, and covers con siderably more ground than our City- hall. We went up half a dozen broad stone' steps, crossed the veranda, and were received at the big front door by the administrador, who, not being able to speak English, wisely said nothing. I would be willing to lay odds that he could not read our note of introduction, but he recognized the signature and .smiled, and we were ushered into the grand hall. Marble statues and statu ettes lined the broad entry on both sides all the way up to the grand staircase at the further end. Glittering glass pendant chandeliers and shining brass chandeliers alternated with each other. Paintings as large as the side of a small house covered both the walls. The floor was made of marble tiles in gay colors. We were taken first into a room to the right of the hall a room about the size of the Governor's room in the City-hall filled with FAMILY PORTBAITS. In one corner, near a window, hung the newest and brig htest picture of them all, a full-length portrait of a lad of 16 or 17, the heir to the Barron csh and the Barren houses. The present pro prietor, a gentleman past the middle age, looked out of a heavy gilt frame. There was very little furniture in this room, or in any of a dozen or more cor responding rooms on the ground floor, but what there was was of the heavy and costly old English fashion; mahogany sofas that would weigh a ton, and polished tables that shone like mirrors, xnis room, in size auu juroi ture. was very much like all the rooms on that side of the lower part of the house, and there were at least 12 or 15 of them all hung with beautiful paint ings, so full that the walls could hardly be seen. The Mexicans never can bring themselves to regard the ground floor of a house as fit for much beyond the occupation of servants, and all the choice things are kept upstairs. What use these lower rooms were put to when the house was occupied, it would be hard to conjecture. They were far too fine for the servants, but not nearly as elegant as the upper rooms. There panrrniGS otber (otngm gwUemenwho re sd to have been very strong on canvas; but an artistic description of them by a person who would rather see a bright chromo than a smoked Raphael would perhaps not be ol any permanent value. I confess, however, to a strong liking for some of the frames. Many of them were beautifully carved, and the gilding was as fresh as if just laid on much fresher than the pictures. It was said that half a doaea of these pictures could be se lected, aay one of which was worth more aoaey than the house and the grounds and every thing else about the place.

The train, coming east, had jut left' Jackson, when tho man from Leadvillo was discovered on the platform of the rear car. He seemed to have an object in being out there instead of in tho car, but tho conductor was deceived as to bis motive Conductors rarely ever got hold of the correct theory when they find a man with a long neck and a lean sachel sitting out on the rear platform. Trying to beat my way great heav ens! but how can you say that?" repli ed the man from Lcadviilo to tho con ductor's brief but vigorous salutation. "No, sir-eo!

I'm going up thore to engage sevontecn hundred men to re turn to Leadville with me." The conductor suggested that he en ter tho car and pay his faro at once. Michigan railroad conductors don't seem to care a clam-shell whether a passenger hails from Leadville or Bung town. " Pay my fare to once of couwo I will!" replied the man from Leadville. "The owner of the Huckleberry mino wouldn't look very well trying to beat a one-track railroad out of three or four dollars' fare. I'll be in there in just a minit just as soon as the gnaw.sus feel in' of the stummick is Kinder gone. You'd better go in and git change for a 6ve hunder dollar bill, so as not to de tain me." The conductor went back through tho cars, and returned. The owner of the huckleberry mine was no longer on the platform, but was sound asleep in the center of one of the coaches. "Pay my fare!" he shouted, as the conductor gave him a vigorous shaking up. "Do you charge me double fare because I own the biggest and richest silver mine in Leadville? Am I to be imposed on because I am abcat to en gage thirteen hundred laborers in De troit, at two dollars a day per man?" "I want your fare," said the con ductor. " Want it twice over?" "You haven't paid your fare yet, but vou must or I shall put you off the train." " I appeal to my fellow-passengers, I do ! " exclaimed the man from Leadville ; "even if I do ownlthe Huckleberry mine, and a half interest in the Short-cake, I'm not to be swindled!" " I give you one-quarter of a minute to pay your fare!" said the conductor, as he reached for the bell-rope. "I'll pay," replied tne man, after a few seconds " I'll pay now and sue the company when we reach Detroit. I'll have to pay you in silver bare, as I am short of gold coin and greenbacks." He fished up the old sachel, took about four minutes to unlock it, and af ter a dive and a scramble be fished up two old paper collars, the remains of a shoe-brush, and an old darning needle threaded with a foot or two of string. "Come! I'm in a hurry," said the conductor. " I want this train searched ; I've been robbed of over $3,000 worth of s'dver bars!" shouted the man from Leadville, turning the old sachel wrong side out and holding it up. The train was stopped and he was or dered to alight. He looked from the big br&keman to the conductor and sor rowfully remarked : "Tee, I'll dismount. I've bin rob- ?? mn Tb. omeT rf Jiucaieoerry mine cane ce sieppea on w-r a a with impunity, and you hear me!" The train started. As the hut car reached him the Huckleberryian made a grab for the platform, missed the rail-1 in?, and the last seen of him his feet 1 were twinkling above the bullrusaes of a roadside swamp. He bad got a lift of 15 miles, and was doubtless perfectly satisfied. -Detroit Free Press. At last accounts the Chilian army had the Bolivian army down and was sitting on ft?m. Boston Pott.
