A CIIAItMINR LOVE STOKY.
'So my cousin is coming from
Europe to fulfill the conditions of
his father's will? Well, I don't
think much of him, Hint's sure. Any
man who would consent to marry a
girl whom he has never seen, for the
sake of a little money, is a contempt
ible wretch!" And here Miss
Li lias Seftoti stopped very excit
edly. "But, Liltas," argued her cousin
Marian, "be reasonable. Herbert
Marston hnsn't expressed the slight
est intention of complying with his
father's wishes has said nothing at
all nbout matrimony, and has no
need of the fortune left him con
ditionally." "Well, that only shows him to be
miserly," was the willful retort.
"And the matter just settles itself
down to this: I am not going to
marry any one whom I don't love
with all my sou! no matter what
pecuniary disadvantage may be the
result and I don't want to be both
ered with him, anyway. Marian,
dear, won't you do mc a favor?" and
the speaker's wistful gaze was very
becoming.
"Why, of course. What is it ?"
"Well, I thought over this matter
all last night, and have hit upon a
plan, if you'll really consent. You
know we have received permission
to keep house down at the old home
stead all by ourselves this summer?
Well, no one there knows us, and
won't you be Lilias and let mc be
your maid? If he can't love mc in
one position as well as another, I
don't want anything to do with him ;
and if iic should fancy you it would
just be splendid."
Both these young gii.' were beau
tiful, wealthy, and romantic. The
elder Mr. Marston, on account of
sonic fancied business wrong he
had done her father, had left his
propni ty to his son, on condition
that he married Lilias; if he refused
Lilias was to possess the whole. He
had been dead now about a year,
and two or three days before Lilias
had received a letter trom the son,
slating his intention of again com
ing to America, but making no men
tion whatever of money or mat
rimony. The letter was cultured and gen
tlemanly Lilias was forced to
confess that ; but his very reticence
on the one important topic piqued
her, and rather revengefully she
planned out this little programme,
which, after coaxing, her cousin
agreed to help carry out.
In a few weeks they were located
for the summer in the Sefton home
stead. Mrs. Sefton and her daugh
ter preferred a fashionable water
ing place, but had not opposed
Lilias' desire to rusticate in the old
farmhouse, which was tenanted and
kept in order by a couple to whom
both Lilias and Marian were stran
gers. "Now," said Lilias, one glorious,
summer evening, "I suppose we may
be expecting Herbert Marston daily,
as I have left a note, to be delivered
to him directly after his arrival, in
forming him of my whereabouts.
But look! there come two strang
ers! Maybe one of them is he. Be
on your guard."
She had tlo time to say more, for
both had approached and one spoke :
"Is Miss Sefton residing here?"
Marian bowed composedly.
"That is my name, sir."
"Indeed!" with extended hand.
"Allow me then to introduce myself
as Herbert Marston."
After the necessary greetings had'
been interchanged, the new-comer
glanced inquiringly at the little
white-robed figure standing mod
estly apart.
Marian bit her lips amusedly.
Lilias didn't look at all like a menial,
still her character must be kept up,
and, in reply to his questioning
gaze, she said :
"Maggie you may go up and help
Mrs. Brown about tea. I presume
your walk from the depot has given
you an appetite?" and Marian in her
turn looked as though desiring an
introduction to Mr. Marston's com
panion. "Perhaps," said that gentleman,
with an odd expression, "before
your maid attends to that part of the
business, she will show my valet to
the room which I am to occupy."
Both girls looked up in surprise.
The valet was a handsome, dark
mustached six-footer, whose every
expression belied his position of
servility ; but he had shouldered the
valise, and stood waiting for his
guide to lead the way; so, with a
look which signified something
more than mere wonder, Maggie
obeyed the little imperative nod of
her mistress, and proceeded up
stairs.
"Whew !" said the valet, after de
positing his burden, looking up with
a smile into the face of bis fair
young escort. "That's what I call
warm work ! Well, Maggie, are
you and I going to be good friends ?''
lie spoke rather condescendingly,
and the indignant blood rushed into
his companion's cheeks as she re
plied, coolly :
"I am nothing of a prophet, and
therefore find it impossible to an
swer your question decidedly ; but
I am inclined to think not."
He smiled provokingly.
"That's bad. But our opinions on
that subject differ. Why, if we
don't entertain each other, what the
deuce shall we do with ourselves ?"
"I have never been at a loss for
amusement," responded his com
panion, demurely. "However, if
you arc dependent upon outside
society, there are plenty of servant
girls about, whom 1 have no doubt
you can readily become acquainted
with."
"I don't fancy 'servant girls' as a
general thing," he answered calmly.
"I have rather high ideas for a valet ;
and, consequently, have but little
desire 'to become acquainted with'
your friends."
A little petulant shrug was all the
answer he received, as the young
"tile de chatnbrc" turned and de
scended the stairs.
"That man," she murmured softly,
"is no more a servant than I am.
But he shan't know that I suspect
the truth,' and she chuckled amus
edly at her own secret, which he
was far from divining. s
After tea, while the master and
mistress emitted pleasantly on the
old-fashioned porch, the two serv
ants at the gate were sparring
away gaily.
"Why, Magie," said the valet,
who answered to the name of John,
"you are twice as smart as half the
young ladies of the present day.
'Vhat makes you stay in such a de
graded position? Don't you know
enough to teach school?"
"Yes, I suppose," replied Maggie,
with a mischievous smile ho failed
to detect. She had been purposely
'showing otr." "But I'm very much
attached to Miss Lilias; and as long
as one is obliged lo work, what does
it matter what one does?"
"A great deal," he answered,
much more excitedly than the cir
cumstances would seem to indicate;
and then he proceeded to explain
to her how she was injuring herself,
and from that they went off into
a long discussion upon woman's
sphere; and when they at last re
turned to the house it was with
manifest reluctance.
For three weeks Mr. Marston and
his valet, John, remained at the old
homestead. Contrary to the cous
ins' expectations, Mr. Marston said
not a word to Marian of the strange
legacy of his father; and everything
went on merrily until a visible sad
ness overspread the whole company.
"John" drew "Maggie" down by
the gate. They had become very
good friends, notwithstanding Mag
gie's ideas upon their first meeting.
"Well, Maggie," he began earnest
ly, "to-morrow we go away ; but,
before I leave I want you to promise
to act on my suggestion."
That "suggestion" was thai she
should leave her position as lady's
maid, and to seek some occupation
for which her talents and education
fitted her.
Then, without waiting for her re
ply, he continued, earnestly:
"I am more anxious about you
than you can well imagine."
His companion felt her heart
beatiii" tumultuotisly.
John cast a quick glance into her
downcast face, and then, as though
encouraged by what he saw, went
on, impetuously:
"You must know what I want to
say; must feel that I must love you
better than any one else in this
wide world. And won't you tell
me whether or no you can ever
return my affections?"
Maggie did not answer in words,
but a shy, little smile spoke vol
umes ; and with a glad smile he took
her close to his breast.
After a while lie said, t earnestly.
"Maggie, darling, perhaps you
think it strange that I, a servant
myself, should be 60 worried about
your menial position ; but I have
won your heart under a false title.
I am not "John," the valet, but Her
bert Marston !"
Slio did not evince the slightest
surprise, but, to his utter amaze
ment, said, calmly:
"It is all right, then. Instead of
being 'Maggie,' the maid, I am Lil
ias Sefton, at your service.
The astonishment was profound
on both sides, and the masqueraders
were in due time married, and, let
us trust, happy.
The reason why editors have their

How to Mitnugft One'M Fellow
CrcuturcN.
And here wc may offer to those
who would live comfortably a little
council upon the method of managc
ing one's fellow creatures. Never
be so weak as to consult their com
fort when it interferes materially
with your own; never stay listening
to a story when you would prefer
telling one yourself, but immediate
ly break away from the egotistical
wretch, covering your retreat with
as thick a varnish of good-breeding
as you cau manage, unless, of course,
your entertainer be poor, and of no
reputation ; in which case you can
break away without any excuse at
all. Above all, never bo afraid of
ordering your fellow creatures
about. Eight persons out of ten do
as they are told, and the longer one
lives, the more plainly does one ob
serve the similarity between masses
of human beings aud flocks of sheep,
who will contentedly follow their
leader through a miserable gap in a
quickset hedge, while a five-barred
gate close by is wide open ready to
admit them. Therefore, order bold
ly, and you will be obeyed. But
remember a great deal hangs on the
word boldly; for if you make a mis
take, and express your desires in a
diffident, hesitating way, as though
there were any chance of a refusal,
you will probably get the refusal.
Everything comes to him who waits,
is no, was a proverb. The last
reading of it is. "Everything comes
to him who asks." Do you want a
situation in your friend's banking
establishment for young hopeful,
whose ideas of his father's purse are
on too liberal a scale well, go aud
ask for one, and if refused ask again,
and so on da capo until you get
what you want. It is no trouble,
and besides it is gentlemanly too.
It does not look well? Nonsense,
everybody does ; and who are you
that you should sot yourself up for
being better than your neighbor,
forsooth? Yon think it a pity
the old-fashioned cloak of humility
and modesty, especially for a young
person, is never worn now. O ! my
friend! it has gone out of fashion
long ago ; we must do as others do,
or we would never reach the grand
stand at all.
Good TuHtc.
A lady of good taste can be de
tected the instant she enters a shop
for the purpose of purchasing a
dress or other articles. You see
such a lady turning the cold eye to
the assurances of shopmen and the
recommendations of milliners. She
cares not how original a pattern may
be.if itbeugly.or how recent a shape,
if it be awkward. Whatever laws
fashion dictates, she follows a fash
ion of her own, and is never behind
it. She wears very beautiful things,
which people generally suppose to
be brought Irom Paris, or, at least,
made by a french milliner, but which
are as often bought by herself in
town, and made by her own maid.
Not that her costume is either rich
or new ; on the contrary, she wears
many a cheap dress, but it is always
pretty, and many an old one, but it
is good. She deals in no gaudy con
fusion of colors, nor does she affect
a studied sobriety; but she cither
furnishes you with a spirited con
trast, or composes you with a judi
cious harmony. Not a scrap of tin
sel or trumpery appears upon her.
She puts no faith in velvet bands, or
gilt buttons, or twisted cording.
She is quite aware, however, that
the trimming is as important as the
dress; all her inner borders and
headings are delicate and fresh, and
should anything peep out which is
not intended to be seen, it is quite
as much so as that which is. After
all, there is no great art either in her
fashions or her materials. The se
cret simply consists in her knowl
edge of her own station and her
own looks. And no woman can
dress well who does not. After this
we need not say that whoever is
attracted by the costume will not be
disappointed in the wearer. She
may not be handsome or accom
plished, but we will answer for her
being even tempered, well-informed,
thoroughly sensible, and a complete
lady.

Gossip entails on those who en
courage it absolute dishonor we
mean the dishonor of repeatingcon
versations, opinions, circumstances,
not made under promise of secrecy,
but which a high sense of honor
would treat as confidential, if haply
a high sense of honor were the rule.
It is odd that one of the best things
a boy lea rim at school is to eschew
tale-bearing and keep faith with his
companions, while one of the most
common practices of society is to
betray the trust contained in talk,
and repeat to all what has been told
in implied confidence to one. This
habit of repeating what we hear is
as fatal to the best intercourse of
minds, as to the finer feelings of
integrity.
A Few Word on Female I-'da-catloH.
Give your daughters thorough ed
ucation. Teach them to prepare a
nourishing diet. Tench them to
wash, to iron, to darn stockings, to
sew on buttons, to make their own
dresses. Teach them to bake bread
and that a good kitchen lessens the
apothecary's account. Teach them
that one dollar is one hundred cents,
that one only lays up money whose
expenses are less than his income,
aud that.nll grow poor who have to
spend more than they receive.
Teach them that a calico dress paid
for, fito bottor than a silkon one un
paid for. Teach them that a full,
healthy face displays a greater lus
tre than filty consumptive beauties.
Teach them to wear strong shoes.
Teach them to purchase and to see
that the account corresponds with
the purchases. Teach them that
they ruin God's images by wearing
strong bodices. Teach them good
common sense, self-trust, bclf-hclp
and industry. Teach them that an
honest mechanic, in his working
dress, is a better object of our es
teem than a dozen haughty, finely
dressed idlers. Teach them gar
dening aud the pleasure of culture.
Teach them, if you can afford it,
music, painting, and all other arts,
but consider these as secondary ob
jects only. Teach them that a walk
is more salutary than a ride in a
carriage, and that wild flowers are
worthy objects of admiration. Teach
them to reject with disdain all ap
pearances, and to use only yes or no
in good earnest. Teach them that the
happiness of matrimony depends
neither on external appearances nor
on wealth, but the man's character.
Have you instructed your daughters
in these principles, and have they
comprehended these principles?
Fearlessly allow them to marry;
they will make their way through
the world. The Practical 2'eachcr.

Never despair. It is a brave mot
to, aud a bravo man's armor. Bright,
beautiful hope, the antidote of all
the evils which spraug from the fa
tal box of Pandora. What a dreary
dark world this would; be without
its smiles. It springs eternal in the
heart, for it is the immortal longing
of the soul which earth cau never
fill.
Man never Is, but always to be bless
ed. Strike out of the hearts and iives
of men this hope of future good and
happiness, and it would be the death
of human eflort and life; hope, it is
the mainspring of every deed and
effort of the world since man came
into it, aud will be so until the
"click of doom." I there a life so
hopeless and miserable as not to be
warmed by its smile? Is there a
calamity so great that hope will not
rise from its ashes? Is there a
crime so dark and heinous that
hope will not lighten or color? Is
there a poverty so bleak that hope
will not transform into affluence
and case? Is there a misfortune,
sickness, poverty or death that the
light of hope does not illume? As
the rainbow, it spans the heaven of
man with its eternal faith, and gilds
the world with its heaven-bom joy.
Hope gilds all of earth, and bright
ens even the portals of the tomb.
Hope on, hope ever, and if the re
ality never comes, the joy of hop
ing will have cheered and lightened
our Iive3, and will find its fruition
in the heaven from which it springs.
Time Lost.
Most of us fritter away a great
deal of time. We arc wasteful of
the minutes when wc are wasteful
of nothing else. Nothing is easier
than to fritter away time in mat
ters of no use to ourselves or any
one else. The habit is readily form
ed. It grows upon us uuawarc.
Keep a 6trict account of every hour
of your time in a single week, set
ting down correctly the exact man
ner in which every hour is spent,
and see whether, when you come to
review the record, you do not find
it full of admonition and instruc
tion. In this simple way one can
readily understand the secret of his
want of time. He will discover
that he has given hours to idle talk,
to indolence and to inconsiderable
trifles, which have yielded him
neither profit nor pleasure. What
is the remedy? Arrange your work
in the order of its comparative im
portance. Attend first to the things
which are essential to be done, and
let the uncssentials take their chance
afterwards. The difference in the
amount of work accomplished will
be astonishing. Duty before pleas
ure. Those who practice this pre
cept have plenty of time for pleas
ure, and enjoy far greater sat
isfaction than those who reverse
this rule. For there is great satis
faction to bo obtained in the simple
performance of one's duty.

While one of the daughters of Mr.
L. I). Brown, of Jersey City, was
entertaining a gentleman visitor iu
the back parlor of her lather's resi
dence a few nights ago, a police
officer threw open the rear window,
aud, dashing into the room, seized
the visitor and endeavored to drag
him out of the house. Miss Brown
screamed with terror, aud fell on
tho floor iu a faint, astonished, as
she very naturally might be, at this
sudden apparition. The noi-eof Lei
fall attracted members of the family
iu the dining-room, and they hasten
ed up stairs to the parlor iu time to
witness the excited aud furious
officer dragging and clubbing their
guest. Mr. Brown interfered, and
demanded to know the cause of this
extraordinary conduct. The offl-cr
replied, "I'm after a burglar."
When informed that the young i.'.an
was not a burglar the enterprising
policemuu stammered apologies, and
explained as best ho could that a
burglar had fled in the, direction of
Brown's back yard, nnd that he had
mistaken the gentleman visitor for

A Boy.
One of the best things in the
world is to be a boy.
Boys have always been so plenty
that they are not half appreciated.
A boy is willing to do any amount
of work if it is called play.
The feeling of a boy toward
pumpkinpic has never been properly
considered.
A boy furnishes half the enter
tainment, and takes two-thirds of
the ecolding of the family circle.
It i3 impossible to say at what 0
a boy becomes conscious that bis
trouser legs are too short, and is
anxious about the part of hi3 hair.
In fact, a boy is a hard subject to
get a moral from.
