And Btill we followed band in hand. Love was the music in our blood And love the glory of the land. Rich autumn fell, and winter drove The fruity ripeness from the air. But wrapped in warm, soft robes of love. What recked we if the world was bare? So round again we come to spring. Strong for another year's emprise. The birds are whist to hear us sing. The sun is dazzled by our eyes. For hand in hand, where’er we go. Earth under foot and heaven above. Love is the only life we know. And every breath we breathe is love. —New York Advertiser. PART OF A LIFE. “So you want my little girl for yonr wife, do yon?” t The speaker, from a glance at his snowy hair and mustache and sorrowful dark eyes, one wonld suppose to have been a man well along in years, but on looking more closely at the well knit, supple form reclining at ease in the study chair it was discovered to be an “old head on young shoulders. ” His deep, musical voice was half sad, half tender as he continued to address the young man, who, standing before him, was nervously toying with a book that lay on the table at his right “Perhaps I’m not quite as surprised as you thought I would be. You have played together as little children, as boy and girl you were companions, and now that you are a man and Maud is a woman your hearts naturally turn to each other, and I will see my dearest wish realized. The friendship that has existed between your father and myself for 16 years will be augmented by the union of our only children. You are a good, manly fellow, Hugh, but a trifle hot headed and impulsive. Learn to con trol yourself, boy; learn to control your self. “You have much of my disposition, and I wonld save you from the rocks on which my happiness was wrecked— you and my little girl. “Sit down, Hugh, here, near me, and I will tell you a story—an answer to the question yon have so often had on the tip of your tongue to ask me, ‘What was it that turned the hair of such a comparatively young man white?’ Tnsli, boy, don’t look confused—you couldn’t help wondeii ng. “Well, to begin with, 20 years ago 1 married one of .the fairest, sweetest lit tle women ti» f,t ever won the love of man. I was a reporter on an evening paper, ambitions and struggling to rise in my profession. We rented a little house in tin, suburbs, and although we had not muck of this world’s goods our home was a very happy one for the first six or eight months. Then little bicker ings and fault finding began. Bitter quarrels finally grew out of the most trivial things, and scarcely a day passed that there had not been angry words spoken by one or the other. “We loved each other dearly, and we tried hard to avoid all this. We had re solved again and again m our moments of repentance that we would treat each other with more consideration, he more forbearing, hut it seemed useless—on troubles increased “So it went on for several months. I had become morose and gloomy, and Nora’s poor little face had grown so pale and sad that the sight of it made my heart ache. “One lovely morning in early sum mer, when the roses that clambered over our cottage walls were in bloom and nodding their pretty heads at us through the windows, when the birds, newly mated, were singing their joy and the air was heavy with the perfume of flow ers and breathed only lore and peace, the crisis came. “While I was hurriedly getting ready to go to the office something occurred to detain me. I was annoyed and spoke sharply to Nora. She answered me in an insolent, taunting manner that al ways enraged me. Our words grew hot ter and hotter and more extravagant. In my anger I applied a shameful epithet to her. “ ‘Coward!’ she almost shrieked as she sprang toward me, her face distort ed with rage and defiance. “What devil possessed me I do not know, but quick as a flash I raised my hand and struck her in the face with all the force I could summon. “She was such a slender little woman that she had not the strength to with stand my powerful blow. With a low, heartrending cry she sank to the floor. Almost before she fell my senses re turned. I realized what I had done, and falling on my knees beside her took her in my arms, kissed the poor bleeding lips I had so brutally lacerated, and with my tears dropping on her face implored her forgiveness. She seemed completely broken. Her anger was all gone, and there was a 6tartled, grieved look in h,er eyes that cut me to the heart. “She lay motionless in my arms while I begged her to forgive me. Then she said softly: “ ‘It doesn’t matter, dear. It was my fault as much as yours. We will never let it happen again. Now go to work— you are late already. ’ “She said it so strangely, with such a queer look in her eyes, that I would not consent to leave her. But she in sisted, and when she bade me goodby she said, taking my face between her hands and drawing it toward her: ‘I love you with all my heart, my darling husband I will love you for ever and ever. Now goodby. ’ “What a long, long day that was! It seemed as if my work never would be finished. My heart was so full of love for Nora. “I bought a bunch of Jack roses on my way home to remind her of our : courtship, when they were the flowers I | always brought her. I did not enter the house by the front door, as usual, be- , cause 1 wanted to slip up behind her | where she was at work getting dinner and surprise her with the flowers and a kiss. “Softly I opened the kitchen door There was no sign of any preparation for dinner—everything was in order. ‘Perhaps Nora has cried herself sick, ’ I Baid to reassure myself. I went to the bedroom—everything in order there, bnt the room was empty. Nervously I hur ried through every room, looked into every closet, went down cellar, out to the coal shed, up to the attic. I didn’t expect to find her in any of these places. I was sure she had gone away, but I must look for her somewhere. “I went back to the bedroom again and there found the note she had left for me pinned to my pillow. “Poor little tear stained letter! Here it is, worn in the folds and yellow with age—this is what she wrote: “Don’t think it is because I am angry at what you did this morning that 1 go. 1 cannot stay, because 1 cannot make you happy. You /will at least live in peace without me. I love you, my husband, and I always will. Think of me sometimes and of how much 1 loved you. But, no; if it makes you sad to think of me, for get me. God bless you. 1 love you. Nora. “That was all. It gave no cle\v. Was she living or dead? “If living, I was determined to find her. I searched for her everywhere, ad vertised, traveled—all in vain. Nearly three years passed, and not a word had I heard from her. I had almost come to the conclusion that she was dead Dur ing that time it was that my hair turned white. “I was working as a reporter on a New York morning paper, gathering news and searching for my wife. “One bitter cold night the last week in January I was sent to report a fire that had broken out in a large tenement house in one of the poorest quarters of the city. The greater part of the build ing was in flames when I arrived The firemen saw that it would be useless to try to save it and were directing their efforts to getting out the frightened in mates. I did what I could to assist them in rescuing the poor wretches. “At last, when we thought they were all out the smoke cleared away from a part of the building, and by the light of the flames that leaped up we saw the figures of two women in a window. Ono of them had a bundle in her arms and was preparing to leap to the ground I motioned her back. In a moment a fire man moved a ladder to the place ascend ed and returned with one of the women, a little hunchback. The other, the one with the bundle, clasped it convulsive ly, tottered and would have fallen to the ground but for the fireman who had just reached her. Quickly he descended, bearing her unconscious form. “ ‘Guess she’s about gone. Get a place ready for her, quick! Let me lay her down!’ he shouted “Off came my overcoat, and the fire man laid her on it “I stooped to see if she was badly burned, and also to see what was in the bundle. A little child about 2 years old round eyed and frightened looked at me from the wet, steaming blanket that was wrapped around it A pretty little tiling, I thought as I disengaged it from the blistered arms that clasped it. The woman was badly burned about the body. I chew away the towel that she had around her head and saw—my wife! pale and worn, but still the same fea tures, the same clustering brown curls on her forehead My wife, given back to me like this! Frantically I called for help, for a doctor. There happened to be one in the crowd “He looked at Nora’s burns and shook his head There was no hope. She would probably never open her eyes again, but she did. The great dark eyes looked up at me, and the lips murmured: “ ‘Maudie—baby.” ‘ ‘ I held the baby over her. She smiled faintly and said: “ ‘Maudie—perhaps—papa—will— Tell him—I always—loved—I’ “But her eyes closed, and her-head fell against my breast. She was dead “Did she recognize mo in those few moments? God only knows. I could not telL “The crippled girl who was with her in the window, and whom she insisted on the fireman rescuing first, told me how she had met Nora in the hospital over two years before, when Maudie was bom, of Nora’s kindness to her and of her weary struggle for bread, and she it was who found and gave to me her wedding ring and a tiny locket with my picture in it that was fastened around her neck when she died. She had never parted with them, no matter how great her poverty was.’’—New York Adver tiser. A False Maxim. The loungers around the only store in a little New England village were great ly amused at something that happened one warm afternoon. A tall, lank, bare footed man came into the store with a gallon pail filled with blackberries, which he exchanged for three quarts of molasses. He carried a stout hickory walking stick in one hand, and when he departed he put the pail on One eud of the stick and threw the stick across his shoulder. He reached the platform in front of the store when a shining new pin at his feet caught his eye. "See a pin and pick it up. All the day yon’ll have good lack.” he drawled out and stooped over to pick 1 up the pin, when the molasses crawled 1 out all over his back and neck. Straightening himself hurriedly, the man said: "Waal, 1 never thought much of that air proverb, an I think less on it neow than I ever did."—Youth’s Companion. 1 ■ — Turkish Women’s Progress.

QUEENS OF HAWAII. PLAYED PROMINENT PARTS IN THE ISLAND KINGDOM. How Qnacu Kaalmmanu Established “Woman’s Rights”—Royal Processions, In One of Which a Dowager Wore Sev enty-two Yards of Cashmere. When the missionaries arrived at Ha waii, March 30, 1820, the condition of woman was that of a slave. She could not eat cocoanuts, bananas, oranges or fish, and one of the curious tabus, or in terdictions, forbade her eating any kind of food with men. Queen Kaalmmanu sent for the new king, Liholiho, who was engaged in a drunken orgie out on the ocean in a canoe, and urged him to throw down the idols in the heaiaus, or temples, and to clinch the matter by eating in public with a group of women who were feast ing by themselves at a little distance from the royal abode. Staggering over to them, Liholiho, who was a very dif ferent character from his famous father, sat down and publicly ate some of their food. The cry went up, “The tabu is broken.” The torch was applied to the idols, and woman’s emancipation began. Queen Kaahumanu was a huge, heavy mortal, and like all the chiefs she was proud and cruel. At first she treated the mission aries with disdain, offering only the tip of her little finger in salutation, but she became a zealous convert and remained to the time of her death, in 1832, at the age of 58, a firm and conscientious Chris tian, beloved by those who intimately knew her and universally respected for her abilities. She had ruled as consort of the great conqueror, as joint sovereign with his son, Liholiho, and as regent dur ing the minority of Kauikeouli. Kamainalu, the queen of pleasure lov ing Liholiho, was fond of display. On a state occasion in 1823 she was carried in procession, seated in a whaleboat on a frame of wickerwork borne on the shoul ders of 70 men. The boat and platform, 30 feet long by 12 feet wide, were covered with costly broadcloth relieved by beautiful colored tapas (native bark cloth). The queen’s dress was a scarlet silk mantle and a feather coronet. An immense Chinese umbrella, richly gilded and decorated with tassels and fringes of the same gaudy color, supported by a chief wear ing a helmet, screened her from the sun. Chiefs held aloft kahilis, or royal staffs, 30 feet high, the handles sur rounded by alternate ivory and tortoise shell rings, beautifully wrought and highly7 polished, the upper part being ar ranged so as to form a column or plume of scarlet feathers of 14 feet in diameter and from 12 to 14 feet long. A more magnificent insignia of rank, conveying at once the ideas of grandeur, state and beauty, as they towered and gracefully nodded above the multitude, was never devised by barbarians. Another royal lady, Kinau, who after ward shared authority with Kamehame ha III (Kauikeouli), her title being Kaa humanu II, appeared in a scarlet pan, a long piece of silk wound round the body and limbs, with two lcng streamers. The pan is a very graceful costume, especial ly7 when worn by7 a wahiue (native wo man) on horseback, with the gayly col ored streamers afloat in the wind. The two dowager queens appeared in this procession. One of them wore 72 yards of cashmere of double width, one-half being orange and the other half scarlet. This was wrapped about her figure till her arms were supported by the mass in a horizontal position, while the remain der, forming an extensive train, was sup ported by a retinue selected for that pur pose. The richness and variety of the dresses and colors, and the exhibition of the wealth and power of the chiefs, their hereditary symbols of rank, the stately kahilis, splendid cloaks and helmets, and necklaces of feathers, intermingled with the brilliant hues and deep green of the flowers and wreaths from their native forests, rendered the spectacle at once unique and attractive. Groups of sing ers and dancers, to the number of many hundred, ever and anon met the proces sion, enthusiastically shouting their adu lation in the willing ears of the chiefs. Queen Kamamalu and Liholiho made a voyage to London in 1823. Before the ship weighed anchor at Honolulu the queen chanted a farewell: “O heaven! O earth! O mountains! 0 sea! O my counselors and my sub jects, farewell I” The royal travelers created a sensa tion in London. Queen Kamamalu ex hibited herself in loose trousers and a long bed gown of colored velveteen, but Parisian modistes soon clothed the ladies in all the gear of fashion. Corsets for the first time encircled their ample waists, and the ! rndon ladies, in their rage for the new lions, sought patterns of the turban that graced the brow of the queen. But, alas, the royal pair caught the measles and died in London, poor chil dren of nature that they were, far from the palm groves and bosky bowers of their native isles! The bodies, in lead coffins framed in wood and covered with crimson velvet, were sent to Honolulu in the frigate Blonde in charge of Lord Byron, a cousin of the poet.—Godey’s Magazine.
