THE HEART'S MAGNET.
Thus face to face we met last night ,
I saw j-our smile and beard your voice ;
And in the dim , uncertain light ,
Naught could I do well but rejoice.
M.v mood yields to a mystic sway
In culture's zone ;
Jl v heart went more than half the way ,
To meet your own.
Not that your heart refused to move-
It mayhave coyly thiohbed the same ;
I'll not assume your precious love ,
E'en though I crave it more than Fame- ,
Of mottled fancies some are gay ,
Aud some are lone :
llv heart went more than half the way ,
To meet your own.
I cling to all you did and said ,
As one will keep a hook-pressed rose
f. Long after its white leaves are dead ,
. -And they no fragrance still enclose ;
If tliis may seem too bold to say ,
The phrase coudonc ,
SIv heart went more than half the traj ,
To meet your own.
With trooping transports here I wait ,
Not recking what the end will be ;
In mortal fear of goading fate ,
Yet could l win'him o'er to me ,
No sacrifice would I delay
Wiyi hopes unflown.
Mv heart goes more than half the way ,
To meet your own.

k POOR GIRL'S TEITJMPH.
BY PAUL PASTKEH.
Tlie cilitor oi the Summervillc Daily
News snatched Tip his shears , cut * a
column-aiid-a-half story from a city ex
change , and sent it up-stairs to Mina
KeJsey to set up in Bourgeois for the
l ; o'ourth page of Saturday's News. Mina
Kelsey and a lady companion , some 25
yeans her senior , set all , the "padding"
of the News the poetry , the literary
excerpts , and the stories. Mina set
most of the stories. It was some com
fort to her young , romantic nature to
-ead them from the "copy , " as .she
vorked at her case. Mrs. Sturdevant ,
ner companion , had long passed the
age of sentiment , and she liked to set
die poetry and the briefer extracts , be
cause'in the laiiijuage of the printing
office , this was "phat matter , " and
with its frequent paragraphs , and in-
denied lnc. : = made the "thousand ems"
go up faster. So both were satisfied.
If a story eame up , it was quietty pin
ned to Mina's case , while the poetry
ind scrappy extracts went into Mrs.
Sturdcvant's drawer.
MSna Kelsejwas glad to get a story
to-day , because she was feeling lone-
iome. In fact , she was suffering from
n fit of the blues. Outside it was rain
ing , and the dingwindows of the
fourth-story room were all misty and
Gripping , and the gray sky , just over
the brick block across "the street , could
scarcely be seen for'the fog and the
rain. It was so doleful there with Mrs.
Sturdevant , who scarcely ever spoke a
tvord , except a monosyllabic "yes" or
no'5 in answer to Mina's questions.
So when the little office boy came up
with the copy , Mina thanked him glad
ly and kept him prattling at her case
nntil the angry whistle of the foreman
at the tube sent him rattling down the
rickety staircase. Then Mina turned
to begin her task. First she set her
composing stick with a piece of brass
rule , so to be sure that it was the exact
width of the column , and then she
mounted her stool and took up the first
letter of the title of the story , "A
Hopeless Quest. " That was good
something to wake her up. A smile
crept over the pretty lips , and she
rapidly finished the title and began to
vork the story paragraph by paragraph ,
snjoying every sentence as she repeat-
sd it in the clicking type. It was a
strange story , too , and fascinating.
Mina gradually lost herself in the
I * . thread of it , and once or twice she
roused with a start to find that she was
reading faster than she ought , and had
left a bad "out" to be corrected in
proof. ,
The story was about a young man ,
ivho , after having wooed and won sev
eral charming but heartless belles , and
havingfortunately , learned his own
icart before it was too late to break off
his engagements , how at last he made
c i vow that he would not rest until he
/ had found the ideal of his heart a
noble , self-sacrificing , pure , loving ,
lovely , and unassuming girl ; "one who
could look a man in the eye without
coolly speculating upon his marriage
Rbility. and who could accept his ad
dresses , if agreeable , without scheming
how to have" loophole of escape in
case his financial prospects should not
f-v prove altogether satisfactoiy. ' ' The
- story described the wanderings , of the
j-oung idealist ; his lingering in public
places ; the faces that he knew , and was
attracted by , and what they turned out
to cover. Once or twice his quest
seemed on the point of being brought
to a successful close , but always some
f ; thing was found to be lacking , and the
object of his growing love faded away
In the ever-deepening mist of distrust
and despair , until at last the story clos
ed with a passionate declaration : "It
is vain ! All women are false and fair
and fickle. I will turn to the friend-
thip of a. true-hearted man , and there
teek the tenderness and helpfulness
which I had hoped to find in lovelier
form. "
It was drawing toward dusk when
Uina finished the story , dropped in the
last period , and closed the line. She
laid down her composing stick , and sat
looking thoughtfully out upon the gath
ering shadows and the drifting rain.
Her life , too , had been so far , almost a
hopeless quest , " but oh ! of how differ
ent a kind ! J > ef t early in life , by the
death of a dissolute and spendthrift
father to support herself and an invalid
mother bv her unaided efforts , she had
never known anything beyond the dull
round of daily toil. Of the romance of
j-outh , the sunny freedom , the hours of
dream-life and of pleasure , she was
indly ignorant. And yet her nature was
rich inspiration. She felt that she' was
destined for better things. There was
A longing within her which would not
he'stilled. Oh , for some respite , some
thange from this dreary struggle for
daily bread ! Her whole soul rose up in
passionateYearning as she sat there in
rhe enrlv dusk and looked out upon the
rain-beaten streets and her own gloomy
tuturc.
Suddenly a thought came into her
mind why should she not voice the
yearning of the soul within herP Why
not relievo her heart by opening tlie
flood-gates of feeling , by uttering the
sad romance of her crippled youth ?
Could she not make n tale as sweetly
pathetic as that of the idealist whose
"hopeless quest" liad charmed her
while she ( piled ? It was a new thought ,
a new aspiration , and ono , too , she
thought , which was possible , which
might be actual.
Miua put on her faded wrap and
trudged home , that evening , through
the ran , with a lighter heart than she
had known for a Jong time. There was
something romantic in the thought of
putting her life into words of making
a story out of the dreariest of dull real
ities. She wondered that she had not
thought of it before. Perhaps there
was something true and noble and beau
tiful in this dull reality , after all per
haps she might make Jt seem so to her
self , by bringing to light the un
certain yearnings of her inmost heart.
Two weeks Hew by ; and one after
noon the editor of the News was sur
prise ? to see Mina Kelsey step timidly
into his room and lay down a roll of
manuscript
"If you please , sir , " she said , "it is
a little story that I have written , and
would 3'ou be kind enough to look it
over and sec if it is good enough for the
News ? "
The editor laughed good-naturedly
as he picked up the neatlywritten
sheets and leaned back in his
chair to read them. Mina stood
nervously waiting , with downcast eyes ,
aud toying with the fringe of her
wrap.
. I'Whj' , my dear girl ! " exclaimed the
editor , as his e\-e ran down the last
sheet , and his pencil instinctively flew
back to the margin of the lirst with the
magic inscription , "Written expressly
for the Kcws" "this is line , really line !
I do not know as I ever read a sweeter
little story. I am proud to use it in
the News , and 1 hope you will write us
some more like it. Everybody will be
wondering who 4M. ' is. It will be just
the thing for Saturday's fourth page.
Allow me to congratulate you , Miss
Kelsey ! You will make an author one
of these days. "
Mina flew up stairs with tears of joy
aud gratitude in her eyes. She had
not expected such cordial praise and
encouragement from Mr. Beckwith.
Was her little story , then , really so
good ? If it had any merit she knew it
must be the merit of earnestness and
reality , for she had put her whole soul
and life and longing into it , and there
were stains upon the paper where her
tears had fallen. It was a labor of love
for her to put it into type , and when
on Saturday morning it appeared , in
the clear-faced bourgeois , holding the
place of honor in the literary columns
of the News , she was so overjoyed that
she could scarcely keep from telling
her secret to every one she met She
wondered it people would read it , and
if she would'ever hear from it again ?
Somehow , she felt as though something
of good would result from it some
thing more than the mere delight of
having given it form , and having utter
ed through it the yearning of her soul.
Thus another week passed , and Mina
toiled at her case , as usual , from morn
ing till night , but with a new joy and
cheerfulness. It seemed as though she
had in some sense vindicated her work ,
ennobled it , aud beautified it , by iden
tifying her deepest life and longing
with its outward surroundings. It
was , therefore , with a start of surprise
that she found , one morning , lying on
her case , a letter addressed m a strange
handwriting 'toM. . " author of * A
Day of Life. ' Care of Editor of Daily
Ncios , Summerville , Conn. " It was
the story again perhaps !
She tore open the envelope with
trembling haste , and read as follows :
DEAK iLu > AM : For I know that "A Day of
Life" was written by no masculine hand per
mit me to congratulate you upon your beauti-
iul portrayal of what is to me the ideal life of
maidenhood noble , self-sacrificing , pure , lov-
inir , lovely , and unassuming. It Has been my
hope to meet with such a life , through all my
years of searching and waiting. But hitherto
it has been only a dream. Until I read your
story. I believed that there was no such thing
as my ideal. Butnow I am sure that there is.and
that I have found it at last in j ourself. Tar-
don me for presuming to sav that I can read
the writer iu the story. You are the one
whose lovely life of self sacrifice and devotion
to duty , while surrounded by temptations with
out , and moved by yearnings within , is there
portrayed. Noble jrirl ! believe me , I appreci
ate your longings , while I admire and rever
ence your devotedness to duty and to purity.
If the friendship of one who has spent some
of the best years of his youth seeking for the
"
qualities in woman which"your secret traii'cript
of life reveals , can be of any moment to you ,
it is most reverently and humbly offered. I
wonder if you have ever read a story entitled
"A Hopeless Quest ! " Something in your
writing leads me to thinkyou have. If so , you
will know , in part , the rea'sou why I make bold
to address you. A reply from your hand
would be more , far more " , than I dare ask , and
yet not more than I "dare hope. If nothing
else , will you not civilly tell me whether you
ever read the story I mentioned ? It was lirst
published in the New York - , and was ex
tensively copied. Your story I met with while
traveling in a railway car. It was credited to *
the Sommervilie ( Conn. ) jVeuw. May I ex
pect your kind favor soon i
Very respectfully yours ,
RICHARD FASOX ,
Author of "A Hopeless Quest. "
New York , N. Y.
But why make a short story long ?
Mina's romance had come ! She slept
but little that night , and the next day
she sat down and wrote a little note
this is all she said : '
Jiichard Faxon.
DEAH SIR : I have read "A Hopeless Quest"
It was that which inspired me with "A Day of
Life. " Yours truly ,
KELSET.
Why should that have brought Rich
ard Faxon , Esq. , Banker of New York ,
to Sommervilie , Conn. But it did.
And now , when they take twilight
walks together , and talk and dream of
the future. Mina sometimes asks , laugh
ingly : "Richard , what if Mrs. Sturde
vant had set that story in bourgeois ? "
And he merrily replies : "Oh , 1 should
have found you somehow. "
Pretenses ,
As a general rule , people who
flagrantly pretend to anything are the
reverse of that which they pretend to.

The Englishman on his travels is the

quite a match for the average Frenchman.
A lady of interesting appearance called the
other morning on a jeweler in Paris , and
after purchasing a bracelet presented a 10
note in payment , from which she received
change , amounting to nearly 5 , and went
away. The French , though they may des
pise things English , have a liking for Eng
lish bank notes , especially when they have
not had to pay for them atthocurrentrate
of exchange. So the jeweler gaily stepped
around to his banker to got his two hun

he arrived , tho banker pointed oub thab
the note was not a forgery , not even a
draft on the Bank oi England , bub an order
dated nearly fifty years back and signed by
one F. Duck , on an institution styled the
Bank of Engraving , which entitled the
holder to some pictures. It is difliculb nob
to admire the daring coolness of thewoman
who could try such a successful experimenb
in a big city , though one may share in the
horror of the French papers , and reiterate
their warning to shop-keepers to be on
their guard against this daughter of Albion.

An Intelligent Juror.
There is an American story of a juror in
a trial for murder in one of the backwoods
settlements of the far west. Greab difficul
ty had been experienced in getting a jury ;
eleven jurors had at lasb been sworn in ,
and and there remained only one man of
the panel. He was a small , lean , lank , fel
low , with a shrewd face and an uncouth de
meanor , nnd his apparel seemed to show
that never before had he been within sight
or sound of civilization. He was asked the
usual questions as to whether he had
formed any opinions aboub the case ,
whether he had any prejudice againsb the
prisoner , orwhether he was conscientiously
opposed to capital punishment.
To all these questions he returned a de
cided negative. The judge and the counsel
for the prosecution and for the defense did
nob any of them specially like the man's
manner , bub ib was late and jurors were
scarce , and so he was accepted. In accord
ance with an old form surviving strangely
in out of the way places , he was sob before
the alleged murderer and the judge said :
"Juror , look upon the prisoner ; prisoner ,
look on the juror. " When this command
was given the little man leaned forward
and scanned bhe culprit carefully from head
to foot for some moments ; then he raised
his head and turned to the judge and said
in a firm and solemn voice , "Yes , judge , I
think he is guilty. [ Saturday Review.

A young man of Baltimore went west
several years ago and corresponded regu
larly with an elderly lady friend in Wash
ington. About six months ago he wrote
that he'd get married now if he knew a
nice girl that would have him.
"There's a chance foryou"said the lady
laughingly , to her niece when she received
the letter.
"Tell him to write to me , " said the
young woman , also laughing.
The aunt did so , the young man wrote ,
the young woman answered the letter , and
the result of the correspondence that fol
lowed was a wedding last week between the
young folks , who , until a few days before ,
had never seen each other. Their friends
say that both have done well. [ Phila

Peter Kern's Wise Eel.
In the summer of 1SGS Peter Kern , of
AVashington township , Pennsylvania ,
caught a small eel and put it in awell inhis
yard , where it still is. Ib is four feet long
and about five inches in diameter. It keeps
itself concealed ab the bottom , except at
irregular intervals , when ibcomes to the
top , and these appearances are always fol
lowed by rain within n day or two. During
haying and harvest and other critical
periods of farm work the farmers for miles
around send every day to Kern's for intel
ligence of the eel. Ib will have no other
kind of fish in the well , and kills all that
are pub in. [ Philadelphia Eecord.
