‘1 Thank You From My Heart."
Dear John. but one shortyoar has passed ‘
Since first I grasped your friendly hand;
Our time to part has come at last;
You leave me for a foreign land.
But though you wander far from here,
I'd say. to soothe the farewell dart.
I thank you for this pleasant year—
, I thank you from my heart.
My years are less, dear John. than yours.
And I've been wild in my career;
But ours is friendship that endures,
Though sometimes you have been severa
Deep in my heart your counsels dwell.
And though you often made me smart. _ '
And though sometimes I would rebel-
I thank you from my heart. .
For many a pleasant evening spent ‘ .
With you, In studying classic lore; I _.
And for a sense or sweet content
Which I have never known before;
For these I thank you. and I know
That though we find it hard to part.
These words of mine will ease the blow-
I thank you from my heart.
Good-by. dear John! In after years ‘
Remember that I loved you well!
I will not wound your heart with mars.
Yet words my sorrow could not tell
I love you. obi -I love you so.
I cannot talk—now you must start;
I'll simply say before you go. -

Dick Fellowcs flung himself back
against the frail door post of the summer
house till the airy building rocked to its
foundations.
“Say one kind word, Stella. My, love

it is the best I have to give," he said.-
earnestly, looking very white and hurt.
‘ Stella Howard, sitting sweet and calm
in her white gown and pearls, half
glanced toward her impetuous lover,
then dropped her blue eyes again with
a suspicion of a dainty shudder.
Dick’s hands were so very big and red,
and his evening dress looked as if it
came out of the ark. Of course he was
very good and nice, and Stella did not
mind his clumsy little attentions when
no one more interesting was at hand;

of that June evening.
“I don't know what to say. I’ve told
you it isn't the least use, Mr. Fellowes ; VV
your life and mine are poles apart;
we can't make them meet. I'm very
sorry you should be pained. Try to
forget it all," she answered, trying not
to show her disdain too plainly.
"Forget l" echoed Fellowes, the blood
rushing to his temples. "No, that's not
likely. I tell you while you live no man'
will love you as I have done. Good-by,
Stella; I can't stand any more. Heaven
bless you, although you are so cruel i"
And howas out-of sight down the
garden path before Stella could have
stopped him. even had she so wished.
What curiously abrupt manners he
had, thought she, as she made her way
to the drawing-room through the sweet-
scentcd roses to sing the song Capt.

she left the table. How odd to go with-

£10m her mind like a disagreeable

Only once did she hear his name in
the two years that followed, and that
was in connection with some scheme of
some proposed g0vcrnment works, and
he was called “ Mr. Fellowee, the well-
known and rising engineer.”

was sensible of a little shock of intense
wonder.
But there was very little time for any
thought ,of the outside world after that.

But Capt. Thurlow was endowed with
a knowledge of the world, which made
him keenly aware of the nice difference
between Miss Howard the pretty daugh-
ter of his reputedly wealthy colonel, and
Miss Howard the penniless orphan. His
engagement to a Lancashire manufac-
turer's daughter was in all the society
papers within a fortnight ; and as Stella
tried to crush out the mortification and
resentment from her heart which seemed
full to overflowing, there sounded in her
ears, as if it were ,a iprophesyr: ,chk

"No one will ever love you as I? havfi

Was it all the perversity of a woman's
nature that made Stella's memory dwell
so often and so kindly on the recollection
of that wooing as time went on? In the
chi days life had held so much love for
hc1 tlmt Dick's seemed a thing little
worth the having; now that she was that
lonely thing. a governess in other peo-
ple's houses. she wondered how she
could have despised any love so honest
and so true, and her recollection of

gentle one.-- a:

The house was to be full for regatta as
usual. and Stella had promised to give
up her holidaytlll they were all gone
again. She was writing notes for a
great garden party, when the little girls
burst 1n upon her in wild excitement.

and he's just been stopping at Osborne.
Is it possible you've never heard his

And Mrs. Boucher laughed a little
good-natured laugh.
‘ Gandly would Stella have hidden hei-
self in her distant school-100m that
othei‘. synonym for, s‘ax broken 111.1111,
mlhcr than enter the crowded d1uwing-V3

laughter heated out from the open win- 3
dows over to her own room in the wing.
But Mrs. Boucher had told her they
would want some singing, and gover-
nesscs must not indulge their feelings
at stake.
Stella's heart seemed beating in hm
eursnsshe enteicd thc g1eat d1awing-
room behind a tray of codes cups, and;
hid herself in a sheltered nook near the
piano.
At first she could see nothing clcml y,
the rose shaded lumps threw so dim 11'
light; then she grew awuic of a group of .
smiling, interested people, all bestowing
their most gracious smiles and attentions
to a tall figure in their midst. Could
that be Dick Fellowcs—that blond-shoul-
dered man with the bi own mustache and
close-cropped, curly head, who moved
and looked and spoke like a man confi-
dent of his own powers, and used to sue-
ceed and please? Stella thought of the
ill-fitting garments of old days as she
noticed the shapely cut of his coatcollar
and the grace of s‘clf-possessibn in his
big boots, and suggested a bull in a china
1111? V
A,moment. and then he raised his
head, and she caught the old merry
smile-audtheflush of the quick grey
with a rush of recollection, Stella made
her way to the piano in obedience to
Mrs. Bouchcr' s smile and nod.
Why had Mrs. Bencher asked her to
sing “Golden Days?" . It was .Dick’s
favorite song long ago, and Stella felt as
if it would choke her. Her voice shook
so that Mrs. Boucher‘s guests thought
their hostess had a good deal ever-praised
her governess’ style, and a Miss Verney
near by remarked to Sir Richard I‘el-
lowes that she did not admire that treana
kind of manner so many girls affected.
,‘_‘ ‘Ab, for the golden days bcyond recalling!
Ah, for the golden days!’
sung Stella, with something; that was
like a sob—so like that she pulled her-
self up sharply, and felt as if she had
fallen forever in her own respect.
As she rose from the piano stool her
eyes met those of Sir Richard, who was
standing close to the piano. There was
nothing beyond the most casual recogni-
tion in the slight bow on both sides,
and then Stella got away somehow to
her own quarters. to find vent for the
passionate flow of tears that overcame

before any one could possibly be ex-

“Just one little game before the
people come to the grounds, Miss How-

bronze hair and the soft flash on her

flutter of white winged pigeons toward
the dark blue sky. He stopped short as

“No. no, young woman," she heard
the voice that was so like, yet so unlike
the voice of other days say. “Miss

would." “
Then he turned to her with a sudden
change from the laughing tone:
“Have you hurt your arm? I am
afraid I startled you;" and he came for-

And in another moment the little

“Sit down here,” was the order. and

:VV'VThIe 0V1deal 11-1‘111 prevailed in France
ficm before the time of Charlemagne
down to, the eleventh century. The
ancient Germans, too, were in the habit
of resorting to divination; and their
superstitious notions, writes Mr. Gibson,
led them to invent many methods of
purgation or trial now unknown to the
law. It should be added. also, that the
Germans were specially tardy in throw-
ing off this relic of barbarian; for, ata
period when most vulgar crdeals were
falling into dlsnse, the nobles of Southern
Germany established the water ordeal as
the mode of deciding doubtful claims on

period. In the primitive jurisprudence
of Russia ordeal by boiling water was
enjoined in cases of minor importance.
and in the eleventh century we find
burning iron ordered “ where the matter
at stake amounted to more than half a

The Origin of Lawn Tennis.
Football never became naturalized in
France, but various other games flour-
ished there. The most important of
these was unquestionable the jeu dc
pawne—the parent game of fives,rackets
and tennis. The ball used was a hard
one, and was struck backward and for
ward by players ranged in two opposing
lines. Later padded gloves were intro-
duced, and later still the racquet. In
1424 a girl named Margot excelled all
men players of the game. She wore nc
gloves, and struck the ball lndifferently
with the palm and back of her hand.
The name “ fives "seems to point to a
development of the jeu, de paume in
which there were five players aside; and
it is on record that a- match of this
description was played at Elvetham by
the Marquess of Hartford’s servants for
the ediflcation of Queen Elizabeth, who,
as in duty bound, expressed herself
vastly delighted with the performance.
But long before the days of Queen Bess
tennis proper had, burst into its compli-
cated life. Her royal grandfather and
father were both great exponents of the
game, and it is to be noted with sorrow
that the former pursued the reprehensi-
bler practice of having “something on
the game.” There may still be seen a
paper of accounts with the entry, “ Item,
for the king’s loss at tennis, twelve
pence; fortheloss of balls, three pence.”
The memory of Henry VIII.’ 8 great
game is still greenVin the annals of
tennis. He played with the: Emperor
Maximilian against the Prince of
Orange and the Margrave of Branden-
burg; and eleven games were played,
and then V the parties agreed to leave on
and consider the contestant undecided;
though on what ground this last step
was taken is not very obvious to the
modern, who has a tendency to" believe
that one side must have the advantage
afteran uneven number of games. The
direct descendant of tennis is the game
known as the lawn tennis. Though of
comparatively recent origin, its author-
ship is not less obscure than that of
J unius's letters; and the warfare already
waged in pamphlets on the subject is
probably but a foretaste of the dispute
that will be raised a few hundred years
hence, when there will have been time
for several more inventors to have
claimed the credit of adapting tennis to
the open air. Tennis proper fortunately
still survives, though not with the same
vigor which characterizes the equally
ancient king of ball-games—cricket.
Golf, hockey and trapball yet flourish
In their own places; but baudyball,
stoolball, ringball, clubball and pull
mall—seems tottering into an early
grave. Marbles still afford amusement,
though not perhaps, in the same circles
of society as in the fifteenth century;
and the undergraduates of Oxford, in
obedience to the statues, have left off
playing the game on the steps of the
school.
Customs of the Omaha Indians.
The Omahas, it appears, form a nation
with a considerable body of ordinances.
Their supreme chief is the “ sacred
pole.” It is a cotton-tree which, wanting
a ruler, they felled two hundred years
ago, and, having put hair on its head,
invested with authority. Itis regularly
greased. A. prominent warrior is be-
lieved to have lost his leg from omitting
to grease the pole. Scalps are offered
to it. Omahas are imaginative in their
names. Among them are “ Rusty-yellow
Corn-husk,” “ Stomach Fat,” “ Forked
Lightning Walks,” “ She who is Return-
ing Bellowing,” and “ She who is Made
Muddy as She Moves.” Omaha matri~
monial law is based, like that of most
primitive clans, on the view that the
community has all the same ancestors.
An Omaha may not wed his deceased
Vwifc’s sister‘unless the dying wife
should have said to her brother, “ Pity
your brother-in-law._ Let him marry
my sister.”
Polygamy, within limits, is lawful,
with the first wife’s consent. Aman
may not lawfully speak to his wife’s
grandmother. So strict is the Omaha
etiquette about mbthers~in-law that a
son-in-law will fly from the room in
which his mother-in-law happens to be.
Omahas are cleanly in their habits;
they bathe daily. Au untidy man or
woman is nicknamed “ The man who
does not wash his hands,” or “The
woman who does not comb her hair.”
They are so redoubtablc as archers that
Vthéy can send an arrow right through a
buffalo. They are skilful in games,
one of which, described as shooting at
the rolling wheel, might be popular 1n
Europe. Dancing, however, is their
favorite pastime; and they have a
variety of societies or clubs, each or
dance.
There 15 the rare buffalo dance, danced
after the recovery of a patient by doc-
tors, who may invite members of the
horse dance, and not of the wolf dance.
The grizzly bear dance has not been
danced for ten years. Its dancers paint
their bodies yellow, and one wears a
grizzly bear’s skin. The scalp dance is
a woman's dance. In the ghost dance
no woman may join.
For attaching mouldings and other
light lumber,a new kind of nail has
been contrived, which leaves no nail
holes. It' IS made. with a point at each
end and with an‘ outwardly projecting
head or shoulder midway between the

How Fire En‘ccts Account Books.
Mr. Luke Sykes, formerly of the Lon-
don and Westminster Banks. describes
his exp. o-icnce of the results of the great
fire at the Royal Exchange on account
books "which had been exposed for
some hours to the. full rage of the fire."
Mr. Sykes says, "I saw one of 11111111
when they were taken away: they bore
marks of smoke and scorching, but
beyond that were as books uninjured.
A lmge leather bound book. about a
yard square and eight or nine inches
1111.31.17.11 when open quite legible. So
little was the paper injured that the
corners of the leaves were merely
scomhed, so as to be rounded of. leav-
ing the figures of the follos quite plain
and 11ninjnred."He odds that “it is a
common case for a fraudulent trader
claiming damages after a fire, when
asked to produce his books as evidence
to prove the justness of his claim, to
say they were totally destroyed inthe
flrc." “Totally ?" "Yes. totally; not a
vestigc remains." " Then we leave you
to your legal remedy." He gives further
details concerning the salvage at the
Royal Exchange fire, and the escape of
the books. Of course large lodgers have
a great advantage over ordinary books,
and this fireproof property being so
much dependent on size is an additional,
though little appreciated. reason for
having big books. I am aware that in
some cases there is just a dash of hum-
bug in these ultra-ponderous lodgers,
corresponding to the arrangement be-
tween thc young medical practitioner
and his ex-fellow-studento. to drive up
to his door and ring his nightbqll $711311? .
even they are out late in his neighboré
hood.
- A Mexican rm-k Wltlr a History.
How many associations crowd on
one during a morning walk through
the park of Chapultepec! Here in the
crisp hours after the dawn walked
Montezuma and his Aztec court. Herc
under the huge overhanging branches
rode or drove Maximillian and Car-
lotta. VUp through the forest of Chapul-
tepec, their faces blanched and grave,
every voice hushed, dashed the scaling
party of American soldiery in the time
—of that mad and wanton war with
Mexico. They scalal the crags at the
south of the foastle‘ while the rest of
the little army kept the attention of

About Mir-1 icrl Wontch’s Names.

When :1 girl marries, it is usually
only the favored few who are present
at the wedding breakfast who really
manage to remember her new name
and address. How often we hear the
question: “ What is Mary So-and-so’s
name now, and where does she live ?"
How often the answer brings the re-
joinder: “Dear me! we must have
been quite close to her the other day;
what a pity we did notknow, we should
have liked so much to go and see her.”
Hence the present movement on the
part. of married women. It certainly
will have many advantages if it be-

Schools are dear in London. but they

tinction of classes in England is such
that you are assured of your boys meets
ing and mixing with the sons of men in
as good position socially as yourself.
The Vfact is that these matters largely
regulate themselves-boys get toknow
the “correct thing,” and the English
settle themselves into their places in life
just as they buy their railway tickets—

class man seldom tries to ride in a’ first.‘

One of the earliest traditions about the
word Yankee would assign it to old
Farmer Hastings, who lived; in Cam-
bridge, Mass , fn_1713. and with whom
“Yankee” cider meant excellent older.
or "Yankee" beans excellent beans.
The term stuck to the old man. with
whom the Harvard students of that day
run up lively bills. and soon came in col-
lege slang to mean foolish or weak-
minded. In this contemptuous sense it
was applied later to 1111139!!! Euglunders.
For one hundred years American phil-
ologists have been trying to trace the
term to an Indian source. It is not
Indian, but Dutch. Ifcne might char-
acterize the relations between Neth'Eug-
land and the New Netherlands in the
. colonial period, he would say with Irving
that the "Yankee despised the Dutch-
' man, and the Dutchman abcminated the
VT Yankce."
The Dutch verb “Yankee"
means to snarl, wrangle, banker after,
and the noun "Yankee,” howling cur.1s
perhaps the most expressive term of con-
tempt in the whole language. Out of
that acrimonious struggle between Con-
necticut and New Amsterdam came the
nick-name which has stuck to the descen-
dants of the Puritans ever since. The
. air had been popular inVEnglandas V
mrly as 1730 under the name of 9' Fisher's
Jig. ” V

There seems to be a curious relation
existihg betvieen biblio-mania and klepto-
mauiuV. In the matter of books. it 18 not
the poor and the needy. who steal, but
the wealthy men and women. who are
amply able to gratify their literary tastes.
There is certainly a fascination in the
piled-up treasuresjof the mind. as in the
gold of the plethoric bank- vanlts; but it
does surprise us—those of us who are
not the victims of this klepto-biblio-
. ,V mania—tube toldbyan eminent libra-

rian that "ministers are not tobe trusted
in a library more than any one else.” It
a was the same gentleman of long experi-
! once—and evidently of faith in human
nature in the reverse ratio of the years
V be had served aealibrarian—who 11n-
blushingly asserted: “I make it a rule
not to trust any lady who 1s a lover of
books!" In confirmation of this sad
opinion, the fibrin-ion 0thth Long Island
Historical Society library says he‘ had
been warned by “the principal ol‘the
largest girls' seminary in Brooklyn "—
that “they all steal." After the death
of “a high-toned gentleman," another
librarian found two hundred stolen vol-
umes in hisresidence. In the light of
such a showing. the suggestion that a
black list of library thieves be prepared
for the protection of librarians was a
practical one, and such a precaution
should be taken without delay.

A nrr or name.
There is a large factory in New York
which covers an entire block. Half a
million of money wouldn't buy it; and it
was built by a bit of cord not more than
six inches long. Eight years ago a poor
mechanic perfected an invention—the
simplest thing on earth—and with his
patent in his hand he went down town
one day and called for the head of a
house whose check was current for five
figures anywhere in the street. The
inventor ofi’ered to sell tweethirds of his
patent for twenty thousand dollars if the
house would bind itself to put one hun-
dred thousand dollars into factories for

of them and lost it in other enterprises.
