A PART OF MY CREED.
[ hold it true,- boy end all four or doubt,
I‘hat nothing sweet and good will God blot out;
The“ what His wondrous mind has planned and
thought,
And what. His wondrous skill and love have
wrought, ‘
Will always last, in spite of flood or flame,

To be the victor never more again:
That life immortal never can be lost.
Though dear eyes close and loving handii be
crossed;
Nor anything to nothingness return,
While God shall live, and lights in heaven buin.
Our treasures here must yield to moth and rust.
Anti we must die and turn again to dust.
But God has said—and He will prove it true—
“Behold, my children. I make all things now. "
Through all the universe will sound His voice,
Bidding all souls that He has made rejoice,
When from the dust there shall at. last arise
All good, all precious things, beneath the skits.

PAllSON MAURY’S DOUBLE.
The grief of the good people of. Independ-
-nce was deep and sincere when Rev. Robert
Keith died after a long and painful illness. '
For more than twenty years he had minis-
tered to the spiritual welfare of the members
of the Independence Baptist church, and he
was the friend of every citizen of the quiet
little village. lie was, indeed, “a. father in
Israel,” and his loss was deeply felt.
It was a month after the funeral before the
sorrowing dcacons met. to discuss the ones
tion of another pastor. ’
A minister worthy to wear the mantle and
take up the unfinished work of Brother
Keith, these good deacons realized, would be
hard to find. But some one must be called;
the flock could not remain without a shop-
herd.
The moeting was called to order by Deacon
White, who always presided, and after
several minutes of perfect silence the im-
portant subject was brought up. Several
names were suggested and the merits of
different ministers discussed without result.
At last Deacon White arose and moved tho
election of Rev. Arthur Maury. None of
the other d'eacons present had ever heard of
the minister in question, but Deacon White
explained that ho was the son of on old
friend and minister, long since dead. Brie-fly
he sketched the life of the young minister
and dwelt at length on his many Christian
virtues and personal charms. The young
man had recently graduated from a. school
of theology, but he possessed wonderful clo-
quenoe _ and was circumspect in all things.
The other doacons hesitated about placing
the church in charge of so young a minister,
but, at last, on the recommendation of Deacon
\Vhite, they decided to give him a. trial.
The Rev. Arthur was at once notified
by his friend Deacon White of his call, and a
few days later he answered it in person. He
met the doaoons at the home of Deacon White
that evening, and in a very brief time he had
won their love and admiration. He was all
that Deacon, White represented. and more,
and the good deacons went home rejoiced
that they been so fortunate in the selection of
a spiritual leader and adviser.
Next day was Sunday and the church was
crowded to its uknost capacity to see and
hear the new minister. There was a half
audible whisper of approval when he arose to
open the services, and the congregation ob-
tained its first full view of the pastor. Ho
announced his text, and the congregation
wasnllattention. 0f fine personal appear-
ance, graceful in speech and gesture, the
young minister held the undivided attention
of his hearers. Hiseloquenca was wonderful,
and the hearts of the Christian people were
flirted as never before, and the words of
truth uttered by the speaker made a lasting
impression on all who heard him.
When the service was ended the large con-
gregation pressed forward .to congratulate
the now minister. In less than a week Mr.
Maury was known and loved by every mem-
ber of his congregation. Even the good
deacons, who fearcd'ho was to young for so
important a. work, confessed that; they could
find no fault with him. He appeared dc-
lighted with his work, and did not leave the
village for several weeks; But after he had
become familiar with the people and With
the work he was expected to do, he began to
absent himself for two or three days in
the middle of every week. Where he went
no one inquired at first, but soon the villavo
gossips began to ask what it was that callgd
him away with such regularity. One of the
good deacons then ventured to ask the place
and object of the young pastor’s weekly
visits. Mr. Maury said something about
business and recreation, and at once entered
upon a discussion of the bestmeans of paying
the church debt. The good deacon had failed
to learn what he wanted to know, but he on-
tortained not the slightest suspicion against
the minister.
The visits continued, and in a little while
' tho gossips learned that the young minister
went. east, to some place unknown, one week
and the noxt his journey would be tothe
west.
“He is probably visiting college friends or
relatives,” said Deacon White, when the
matter was mentioned to him. “Anyway,
where he goes, or for what purpose, ishis
private business.”
This did not silence the tongues of tho
gossips, and they reasoned that Mr. Maury
should at least let the members of his church
know his whereabouts when he »was absent
from the village. Even the deacons, the
staid and exacting pillars of the church, be-
gan to talk confidentially among themselves,
and. when at their next Monday evening
meeting the young minister asked for two
weeks’ leave of absence, they exchanged sig-
nificant glances. The leave of absence was
granted, butnfter the minister left the room
it was dcc'ided'that ono of tho deacons would
follow him on his proposed journey and
learn, if possible, its object. This Christian
and charitable resoivo was defeated, for the
minister left on the first train that night, and
the station agent did not remember to what
point he purchased a ticket.
Independence was one of those quiet vil— ‘
logos wlicro unusual events never happen and
sensations are unknown.
Two days after the departure of the Rev.
Arthur Maury a. woman closely veiled
blighted from the train from the east and
went directly to the hotel. Soon after her
arrival she sent a. message to the landlord to
Come to her room. When that gentleman
entered she announced. with an emphasis
which carried conviction with it, that; she
was Mrs. Arthur Maury and was in search of
her husband, who, she said, had deserted he:
and she was informed had married again.
The landlord did not faint or cry out; in
fact, he did not utter a. sound. He was
speechless. He stood like one in a. dream,
while the woman vehemently demanded to
know the whereabouts of her unfaithful hus-
band.
“I’ll—I‘ll tell him. Who did'you say was
your husband?” stammered tho horrified
landlord.
- “Tell him nothing. ‘Whero is be? I’ll not
let him escape the again. Arthur Maury is
my husband’s name. He is preaching hero,
I have heard. Fine preacher ho is, the vil-
lain!” And the woman stamped her foot
with rage and impatience.
The landlord blindly groped his way down
to the ofiice, closely followed by the strange
woman, who continued to denounce the
popular young minister inunmeusured terms.
When they reached the ofiice the train
from the west had arrived, and soothes"
strange guest had just entered The latter
was also a woman, somewhat older than the
first, and in her eyes there was a look which
meant mischief for some one. _
“Can you direct me to the office of—of my
—of Mr. Arthur Maury?”
“Gt-mt heavens!” exclaimed the now thor-
oughly excited landlord.
“Who are you?” demanded the woman who
had claimed to be Mrs. Maury of the new-
comer.
“I am, or at least I was, Mr. Maury’s
wife, but I have heard—no, no, I will not be-
lieve it.
“Oh! the scoundrel! the villain!” exclaimed
Mrs. Maury No. 1, and then there was a scene
such as was never dreamed of in the philoso-
phy of the good people of Independence.
The terrible news spread on the wind, and
before the two women had dried their tears
of anger and shame, the entire population of
the village had gathered at the hotel.
“Mr. Maury, the minister, has two wives,”
was the' shocking intelligence whispered to
the curious crowd. Men and women looked
into each other’s faces in silence. The news
was too terrible for words.
Deacon White took the strange ladies aside,
one at a time, heard their stories and care-
fully examined each marriage certificate.
This latter documentary evidence caused him
to lose all hope of saving the good name of
his friend and pastor. Man he realized the
horrible truth be told the deserted wives that
Mr. Maury had left the village two days
before, and no one knew where he had gone
or when he would return.
“Deserted forever l” was the despairing ex-
clamation from the two weeping women.
For three days busino. was suspended in
the village, and the people gathered in little
groups on the streets to discuss the terrible
disclosure. The two women who had brought
about the exposure had gone their respective
ways, but they had given Independence a
genuine sensation.
When the first shock of the discovery of
the minister’s depravity had worn off, the
pcoplcbesan to wonder; how he had so suc-
ce'ssfiiliy'flifipb'scd on them. One or" 6666 of
his best friends dared to express the hopo
that it might all prove a terrible mistake,
but they were laughed at and told that the
proof left no room for doubt.
Mr. Maury had been gone ten days before
the deacons of his church held a meeting to
discuss the situation. The church was dis-
graced, the communit shocked, and the
good deacons were just y indignant. Never
again would a young minister be called.
“Oh, it is terrible, terrible," said Deacon
Brown. “What; a sinner he must be!”
“It 13 over now; leave him to his idols,”
said Deacon White.
“His wives you mean!” said Deacon Jones.
The good deacons were in the midst of a
discussion of the merits of several prominent
ministers when there came a. rap at the door.
The door was opened and'the Rev. Arthur
Maury entered, accompanied by a lovely
young lady. .
“Oh, Lord deliver us!” groaned Deacon
Jones.
“Allow me to introduce my wife, Brother
White, Brother Jones, Brother Brown,” and
Mr. Maury bowed to the pillars of his church
without appearing to notice the shock his
entrance had caused. ‘
“Another one 1!” and Deacon Brown rubbed
his eyes in the vain hope that; it was all a
horrible dream.
“Brethren, pardon me for the intrusion.
and we will now leave you for the present,”
and Mr. Maury, with wife No. 8, was gone
before the good deacons could utter a. word.
There was a hurried consultation and a
committee of three, headed by Deacon
White, called on the minister and asgently
as possible told him of the terrible exposure.
His surprise at the awful situation was genu-
ine, there could be no doubt about that, and
in five minutes the committee was convinced
that ho was innocent and the whole affair
was some dreadful mystery. His visits,
which had first aroused suspicion, were fully
explained At a. little town 100 miles to the
east of Independence he had visited his bc-
trothed semi-monthly, and the other visits
were to his aged mother and only sister, who
resided in the city some 200 miles west. He
had asked the leave' of absence to wed his
first and only love and intended his charm-
ing bride us a pleasant surprise for his con-
gregation. The committee retired with the
hope that the mystery would in some way
be solved.
Next day the good people of Independence
received another stunning shock. A detec«
tivc reached the village in search of Arthur
Maury, alias Jules Weston, forger, counter-
feiter and bigamist. The second shock came
when tho detective announced that the men
he was after, under the convenient name of
John Smith, had spent two weeks at the
hotel, and in the guise of a. book agent, had
flooded the village with counterfeit money.
The smart rascal had left the village the
night before the arrival of his deserted wives.
The mystery was clear at last, and Deacon
J ones declared he had never lost faith in his
beloved pastor.
All this occurred ten years ago. The Rev.
Arthur. is still the beloved pastor of ti!)
church at Independence, but the villagers
never weary telling the story of Parson
Maury’s double—Walter L. Howley.
AT THE LADIES" WINDOW.
A City Postmaster Tells About the Harm
It Does—Some of the Good.
The postmaster of one of the three great
cities that; practically compose New York
was spoken to by the father of a modest
young girl, but a little inclined toward rebel~
lion because forbidden to correspond with a
young man of her acquaintance. The par-
ents, seeing no more letters come to the
house, supposed their daughter was all obe-
dience, but she had confessed that she was
still exchanging letters.
“Well,” said the postmaster, “there it is
again—that satanic ladies’ window. You do
not begin to appreciate the harm it does. But
what can we do? There must be a. window,
call it what you will, where men and women
and boys and girls having no permanent ad-
dress can cili for letters addressed simply in
the care of the postofi‘iee. It is necessary and
good that the convenience be kept; up, my
dear sir. ’l‘ho clerk at that window in this
office is trying to lessen the harm of that
window, and what he is doing has my ap-
proval, but every such effort is unwarranted
in law. He says to the girls and married
women Willo give different names to different
persons as their own names: “You can have
the letters for Sarah Stewart, but you must
'nlwaysbo Sarah Stewart after this if you
take them. You cannbt como to-morrow and
ask for letters for Sarah lVatkins.’ Ho does
that, and he holds back lots of letters, but; he
"has no right. to. In your i'elative’s case, if
she is under ago and her parents or guardian
ask us not to deliver letters to her wo can
hold them back or deliver them to her elders,
but all the women who are of age can keep
on misusing the government’s service, and
there is no lawful way to stop them.”
The ladies’ window also accomplishes good
in many cases. Woman are apt to make
confldants in the strangest quarters, and the
consequence is that the grizzled men at; those
windows hear many queer things when the
callers are few and there is time to talk and
to listen. One of these confidences was that
of a sad visaged wife who asked that her
letters never on any account be given to
any one else, “because,” she said, “they bring
me the only money that stands between
starvation and my children and me. My
husband does not work, but drinks, up all
I can earn with my needle, even collecting
my earnings before I can go to get them.
My brother in the west sends me what
he can spare, and with that I make up
the rent and get food and clothing for
my little ones. I do not want to desert
my husband, but he must never know
of this extra money that I get.” Then
there are the women who are secretly en-
gaged or even secretly married, who tell
the man at the ladies’ window all about why
they have taken the step, and what terrible
consequences would follow if it were ever
found out. “I tell you this, though I have
never told any one else,” one of them ex-
claimed, “becauseI must tell some one. I
had to talk to some one about it, and I come
to you, because you are the one I get his lets
tors from.” One young woman on securing
a. regular weekly letter remarked one day to
the clerk: “Whatajolly row there would
be if my folks knew I was getting these let-
ters. My sister has married a. Christian, and
we are Jewish, you know. She has been re-
nounced by all my family, but she and I keep
each other posted every week, for she ,is my
sister just the same, and all she did was to
marry the man she was fond of, after all.”
Thus the ladies’ window lends itself to the
best as well as to the weakest and the worst
impulses and motives, and thus, so far as any
onecan foresee, it must continue to do as
long as postofiices are public institutions.
Lunatics Cured by Kindness.
The strange colony of lunatics at Ghee], in
the Belgian‘Campine, has long engaged the
attention of specialists, and so satisfactory.
has been its working that a duplicate of it
has lately been established. In these col-
onies the lunatics are bparded ml: with the
inhabitants, live as members of the family,
assist in their work, and have liberty to move
about at will. The regularity and healthful-
ness of the life led by the afflicted inhabitants
of Gheel restores a considerable proportion
of them to their right; mind.
Gheel, however, is in the Flemish speaking
portion of Belgium, and it has of late years
been found that patients from the Walloon
country, who speak only French or the Wol-
loon patois, were awkwardly placed, and
their recovery retarded by the absence of
ready means of communication with those
about them. The experiment was therefore
made of establishing a French speaking cola
any at Lieurncaux, in the Walloon country,
near Spa; and it has been so successful that
it has now been placed upon a permanent
basis.
The cost of pauper lunatics to their com-
munes does not exceed a franc a day. Noi-
ther at Gheel nor at Lieurneaux has it been
found that constant intercourse with luna-
tios has increased the tendency toward insert.

Superstitions of Mariners.
In speaking 'of the superstitions of mari-
ners, Capt. J. W. Hall, one of the oldest and
most experienced lake-faring men in Detroit,
said the other day: “Did you ever notice
that there is no vessel on the lakes named the
George lVashingtoni The first vessel that
ever bore that name was a. steamer launched
in 1333. She went down during the same'
year with the loss of one life. Another was
built about 1837, and in 1888 foundered with
the loss of sixty—eight lives. The idea that;
there is bad luck in the name has never been
overcome, and I doubt whether you could
now induce an underwritcrto take a risk
upon a boat bearing that name”—Detroit

Danger of New Diseases.
There is nothing to hinder the bursting on
the world of a new pestilence at any moment
out of the unsanitary conditions of masses of
human beings. The germs of our worst
dreaded diseases are not; transmissible
through pure air. But in impure air
there are constantly going on the crossings,
reimpregnations or— hybridization of poison
gems that involve the possibility of new
forms of disease worse than our worst foes-

A; STUDIO STUDY.
1.
Georges Bartel, the now well known painter.
made in his early life what is known us a love
match. Now love matches are, according to
writers of romance, a. panacea for all earthly
ills, but in this instance the magic spell failed
to charm or to bring the young hearts thus
united the connubial bliss which, by Cupid's
almanac, they had a right to expect.
Although married, Georges and his wife
were not; happy—perhaps because the affec-
tion that formed almost the entire stock in
trade of the young couple was not: equally
divided.
The bride was a charming creature, with
black hair, pouting red lips and white teeth
—an artis ’s ideal—but a. little captions as
to temper. '
Installed in their modest home, all the
little incidents of daily life that should have
been the oxcuso for light hearted gayety
only served as a. pretext for quarrels and
bitter complaints. ,
Even the sweetest dispositions will sour in
an atmosphere of bickering and strife, and
at the end of two years the artist was com-
‘ polled to acknowledge himself bankrupted in
all the elements that should have formed for
him a happy home, while the wife was forced
to admit that the lover had long since been
lost to her in the husband. Because recogni-
tion did not come at once, Julia——such was
Mme. Bartel’s name—lost patience, and the
effect upon her temper was not agreeable.
But the less successful the artist may be at
the commencement of his career, the more
he stands in need of love and encouragement
at home. If the world is cold and unappro-
ciative, and dealers are unkind, the greater
‘ the need that he should find under his lowly
roof an atmosphere of cheerfulness and love.
then Georges returned at; night, weary
and discontented at some fresh vexation or
rebuff, had he not a right to find at his fire-
side a. companion, a friend, who would
share his griofs and had the skill to charm
him into forgetfulness of the world and its
annoyances? A smile, a kiss, a kind word
have dried many a tear—smoothed many a
furrowod browl But smiles, tears and kind
words were not; for Georges. It seemcd in-
stead that as the days rolled on, Julia’s tem-
per becamo more and more intolerable.
She was not made, she argued with her-
self, for a life of hardship and privation.
What was the use of being beautiful if her
husband could not buy her this clothes to
show off her fine looks? Without dresses
and bonnets, one might as well be buried
in some hole in the provinces, as reside in
Paris. Ali! if she could only lize her life
over again. Then came surging into her
mind regrets for the past, fears for the
future—in short, the dangerous precursors of
bad resolutions and worse actions. Julia was
yielding to the voice of the charmer.
Ono evening poor Georges came home tired
but happy. He had been on his feet all day,
but he had received much encouragement
for the future, and had collected 0. little
money for present necessities. He found the
studio door locked; he kudoked. No re-
sponse. A vague presentimont of evil
flashed actors: his mind. He dashed down
the staircase, and, forcing himself to be
calm, said to the old concierge:
“Madame has gone out?”
“Ah! is that you, M. George? I didn’t
see you go up. Yes, madame has gone
out. She went; away just after you did, and
said that you were not to wait dinner for
her. She left a. note for you upstairs. ”
Georges steadied himself against the wall
to keep from falling.
Fortunately. it had grown dark, but for
that the old woman would have been startled
at her lodger’s sudden pallor.
“All right! he managed to stammer out,
as he took his key. . ‘
He went up slowly this time. He under-
stood that a great misfortune had happened
to him.
He stopped a moment at the door before
opening it to wipe the perspiration that was
standing in beads on his forehead. He went
in, struck alight, and at once began to look
for the missive which his wife had left behind
her. She had confided it, perhaps without-
tbinking, to the arms of a plaster Venus in
full view.
He dropped into a chair and read the fol-
lowing: “My dear friend: Pardon the pain
that I am again compelled to cause you, but
it “(ill be for the last. time. I can no longer
live as we have been living. I know I am
an obstacle in the way of your obtaining
recognition in your profession. I am sure
your friends tell yet! so daily—an annoyance
in the present and perhaps a burden in the
future. You will be happier without me.
You have loved me and I have brought you
nothing but misfortune. Besides I have a
horror of poverty. I know what it is, for I
had a sister who died of want. Don’t; try to
find me; it will be in vain. Forget me and
pity mo. Icanscothat we were not made
for each other, and it would have been better
if. we had not married. THY JULIA.”
He read and reread this precious epistle,
and was utterly cast down!
II.
Georges had been plunged for some mo-
ments in gloomy reverie, when his studio
door opened. A young girl, almost a child,
catered softly. but seeing the artist so pros-
tratcd, and evidently under the shadow (if
some great affliction, stopped suddenly and
said in a timid voice:
“I beg pardon, M. Georges, I am intrud-
ing.”
The painter looked up and saw his model,
to whom everybody had given the name of
Rose Misere.
“Ohl it’s you,” he said; “What do you
wish i” ,
“Mon Dicu! M. Georges, I came to see if
you wanted me.” '
“No, not just now. I am not painting at
present.”
“Oh! I’m sorry I” replied Rose, gently.
Neither spoke for a. moment. Then, going
up to him, and after having taken along
look at tho stricken artist, she added:
“You are in trouble, M. Georges.”
Georges made no answer. He crushed
J ulic’s letter in his hand and made a signifi-
cant gesture that; Rose understood. '
“I am going,” she said, walking slowly
toward the door, and sighing deeply as she
retreated.
“I’m sorry, so sorry.”
“Como, Rose,” said the artist, somewhat
aroused from his lethargy by the girl’s evi-
dent; sympathy. “Speak! Do you want any-
thing? It is no reason because I am in
trouble that you should not tell me. Speak,
my child, and let me know what I can do for
'03.”
“Well, then,”unswered Rose, “I came to
seowhether you could advance me twenty
francs on my sittings—business is poor just
now. I thought you wouldn’t mind my com-
ing to you for this little service, but I see
thatIchoso the wrong time. Iain going.
Adieu, M. Georges; another day will
do just as well. I’m sorry I troubled you.
If I had known"—
Georges rose, felt in his pockets and
brought forth several louis, which he held
out.
“Here, Rose; you have always been a good
girl. I collected quite a large bill today.
Tat-:0 the money; I don’t want it.”
.Then, suddenly recollecting,‘ he added
quickly: “At least I sha’n’t need it at pres
ent. I may go away for awhile, and one
neve'r knows what may happen. If I don‘t
return, you will keep it in remembrance of
me.” '
Rose looked at; him intently, and with
a woman’s instinct she exclaimed: “M.
Georges, you mean to kill yourself I”
“I?” replied the painter, trying to smile.
“You are mad, Rose. I’Vhy should I want to
die?”
“Because you are not happy. Oh! I’ve
seen it. I saw what was coming. But. M.
Georges, now she isn’t here any longer, let
me stay with you and be your little house-
keeper. . Then you’ll have yourinodel always
with you. I’ll take great care of the studio.
11: shall always be neat and clean, and your
dinner shall always be ready for .you when '
you come home. I won’t ask any wages,”
she added, blushing alittle, “'and I will be
as still as a. mouse, and you sha’n’t hear me
moving around. Iwon’t disturb you. You
don’t want me?”
“Thanks, Rose,” said Georges, holding out
his hand to her; “thanks, but I must be
alone. Adieu, my child.”
Rose turned pale. “Adieu,” she answered,
struck by the artist’s singular manner.
“No. I mean ‘Au revoirl’ Au revoir,
Rose.” . .
The little model gave the unfortunate
painteraglance full of tenderness and de-
votion, and as the door closed behind her,
she murmured to herself as she wiped her
eyes: “Oh! how happy I could have made
him.” III
Left alone, Georges carefully locked the
door, sat down near the candle and gave
Julia’s letter a. last perusal. The reading
ended, be was about to press .it to his lips,
when he suddenly changed his mind and tore
it in pieces, which no throw from him. Then
be poured forth to the silent walls all the
misery that was crushing him. '
“No! enough of weakness—of cowardice!
I am ashamed of myself. Let mo make an
end of it. What has my life been but a long
martyrdom? I never had any happy child-
hood. My mother died in giving me birth,
as if she foresaw, poor woman, that; she was
only ushering me into life that I might know
. the full meaning of struggles and privatign.
I have fdhght desperately. I did ”not faint
on going into battle! The art I love so on-
tirely has only furnished me enough to keep
mo from dying—scarcely enough to insure
my living. I adored that woman. I made
her my wife. She leaves me! It isenough—
it is too muchl To avoid years of suffering,
what is needed! Onlyarnoment’s courage.
Weill I have decided. A last adieu to an-
noyances, to deceit—470 him given and
never returned. Adieu to tears, to life. As
they say in the museums, ‘Gentiemen, it is
closing timo.’ Yes, ,but how shallI close?"
He mecanically rolled a cigarette, while
he glanced around him. His mind was now
made up, and,_ weary with the long and un-
availing contest with adverse fate, he sought
the means of giving effect to his resolution
“I must find a nail,” he thought, “and a
good stout one. I am not anxious to prolong
the agony.”
His glance was arrested by a magnificent
canvas by Rembrandt suspended from the
wall by an enormous book. The picture had
been sent to him to copy. He slowly took
down the painting and carefully placed it on
an easel. Then be searched intho drawer!
for a strong cord that would bear his weight,
and when he had found it rubbed it sedu:
ously with soap. Wliiio making these mourn-
ful preparations he kept his eyes fixed on the
work of the Dutch master—his favorite
artist. : »
“What a painter,” lie , said to himself,
“what simplicity! whatifirmness of touch!
what truthfulness of expi‘ession! what wealth
of invention in the entire composition! Thou
too, oh beloved masterl thou too [hast loved
—hast suffercdl' Thou. - too, stripped of
everything. didst none. Exile less arduously
continue thy precious “liver-k, avenging thy-
self for the injustice of. destiny by the pro-
duction of inastcrpieCesl”
And poor Georges went steadily on mak-
ing his preparations for leaving a. world that
had been unkind to him. At this point a
singular incident occurred. When all was
ready for tho final leap into the dark the of-
flicted artist stopped before the Rembrandt
to take one last look at the work of the mas-
ter. Standing before it, completely lost in
the contemplation of its perfections, he un-
consciously sank into in chair. There he
remained in a kind of methotic ecstasy.‘ The
sense of his many wro'ugs, his hard life of
labor, his ungrateful Wife, the unapprecia-
tivo public, for whom hoendured so many.
' hardships. his unhappy and somber child-
hood, the long years that must surely elapse
before he could hope toi secure an adequate
supply of even tho necessaries of life—all
this passed from him. Int-ho glorious repub-
lio of art ho was a free i'citizen. Within its
magic realm there 'was no hunger, no shabby .
raimcnt, no indifferent. purchasers, no spite-
ful spousal All that hissenso of the beauti-'
ful demanded was hero supplied to him
without; cast. There was but one duty—to
enjoy. The man—tho poor threadbare, out
at elbows, needy fellow, who was not sure of
a meal from day to dayo-wm here an artist!
' As the night watches were away he had been
temporarily released from this work-a-day
world, but he had left it by another portal
than that by which he had intended to make
his exit. <
' _ . 'IV. .
The sky was taking on a pmple tinge in
the east, and great green and red bands
stretching across the horizon announced the
approach of day. There was a. loud knock-
ing at the door.
“Come! Goorgosl let us in. Open the
door, Old Lazy Bones!” cried a number of
fresh young voices.
Georges suddenly awakened from his long
rovcrio, rose and before replying to his young
friends, again looked at the beloved canvas
and thus addressed it: ,
“Thou art not willing that Ishould die, 0h,
revered master! since the study of one of
thy works has prolonged my existence until
dawn, and I am now. recalled to life at a.
moment when I expected to be already in the
embrace of death. It is thy wish, then, that
I should strugglo on, suffer on, and press
forward in thy illustrious footsteps. So be
it; I will live-but through thee, and for thee
alouci" '
“What; brings you here at this' hour?”
asked the artist, as he at length opened the
door to his self invited guests.
“This note,” replied one of them, “which
each of us found at; his lodgings on returning
home early this morning.”
“On receipt of thisl'etter go as quickly as
you can to séc Georges Bartel. He wants
you. ' ' . " " ' ROSE MISERE.”
Georges was greatly affected by this cvi~
denco of the poor child’s affection. Ho un-
derstood; there was after all such a thing as
love!
And this is why—thanks to a little model
and ‘a 'big nail—one may see in this year’s
Salon 0. sp’ecimen of the work of one of the
most devoted admirers of the Dutch painter!

OWEN’S UTOPIAN COLONY.
They Live In Tents on the Gulf of Cali-
fornia and Are Said to Be Happy.
For several months disappointed colonists
from Owen’s Utopian colony, at Topolo-
bampo, on the'Gulf of California, have been
finding their way to this city. From their
stories, told with deep feeling, it appeared
that they were the victims of a base decep-
tion, and that the alleged Arcadia whence
'they escaped was in reality a. barren desert,
devoid of food, water, and all that goesto
make life worth living. ’
Capt. Richard P. Leary, commanding the
United States steamship Iroquois, which re- '
oently arrived at this port from Callao,
after making stops at Acapulco, Mazatlan
and Topolobampo, says:
' “My orders were to visit the Topolobampo
colony and learn whether the reports of the
hardships resulting from lack of provisions
or from other causes were well founded or
not. The Iroquois reached Topolobampo last
December. She anchored about eleven miles
offshore and we visited the colony in our
steam launch. It was found that most of
the colonists were at Gonzalez, or Bay City,
situated on the bay 9. short distance from the
sea. There were about 150 in all, including
men, women and children. lVe were re-
ceived cordially by them. Every possible
facility was given usto form acorrect im-
pression of their actual condition. They
were living in tents, there being but one or
two permanent buildings in the city. In
this vicinity there are two or three forms
upon which a number of the colonists were
cultivating crops, and the results showed
very sensibly the 'remarknble salubrity of
the climate and the exuberant richness of the
soiL .
“Upon the low banks of the river the need
of irrigation was not manifest, but on higher
lands, away from the stream, it was seen to
be absolutely necessary. Upon the land cul-
tivated, watermelons and sweet potatoes were
growing luxuriantly and little also seemed to
be cultivated. We examined Gonzales City,
El Suffragio and the Mochis- (Spanish, for
“farming land”), andin all those places we
were satisfied of the richness of the "soil and
its capabilities for supporting a. large popula-
tion. Thecountry is a paradise. W'ithout
irrigation it will produce two or three crops
to year, while with irrigation there is not a
month in which crops cannot be planted and
gathered. The climate is magnificent, never
reaching an extreme of temperature. The
harbor of‘Topolobampo bay is one of the
finest. Theroisat'lowltide never loss‘than
sixteen feet of water on the bar, and its
capacity is very great. ”—San Francisco Cor.

Ferdinand \Vnrd’s Health.
When Ferdinand Ward was sent to Sing
Sing for ten years there were scores of per-
sons, among whom wero some intimate
friends of Ward, who said that he would not
live a year. VVard’s appearance favored this
prophecy, for he was thin, with colorless face,
round shoulders and a narrow chest. .
“He has been used to high living,” it was
said, “and luxurious quarters, and rough
prison fare and confinement will kill him.”
If Ward’s friends knew as much then as
they have learned since they would have re-
ceived the news of his conviction and son-
t'onco with joy. It was his high, manner of
living that was proving disastrous to» his
health. Ward now looks as well and strong
as any man of_ his slender build canlook.
There is a luster in his eyes that is new to
them, and a lightness in his step that he did
not possess when he was free—New York

Gazing at Lincoln's Monument. _
“I have noticed a remarkable circumstance
in riding up and down past " Lincoln park,”
said a North Side man. “It is that there is
always some one gazing at the Lincoln mon-
ument. no matter whether it is fair or a.
blizzard prevails. Sometimes a solitary per-
son only is to be seen, but rarely less than
three or four are present. Whether it is ad-
iniration of a great work of art or homage
to the memory of America’s greatest man, I
don’t pretend to say; but I am certain that
no other monument‘possesses the same inter-
est to the public as the martyred president’s.

MOSTNOBLE MARQUIS. 7
AN ENGLISH NOBLEMAN VISITING
HIS IRISH ESTATE.
His Persistent Fad for Soiled Linen—Snub-
bing a Guest—servants [and Sycopliants.
Sui-lines. and Ill Breeding—Asleep: at;
the Breakfast Table. ,
One of the most remarkable sights I ever
witnessed was a most noble marquis at; break.
fast in a Dublin hotel. The nobleman had
run over from England to attend to some
suits and evictions on one of his Irish estates.
The estate in question extended over thirty
miles of good farmland. A landlord here is
a. landlord, indeed. This particular noble-
man had achieved great prominence during
his stay by the singular and persistent fad
that; be displayed for soiled linen. The Irish
press exceeded itself in describing the shirt of
the most noble—as he was invariably styled-—
marquis. , . '
'He came into the coffee room one: morning
with a rather an irresolute step and .an eye
that wavered behind his single glass. His
attire was shabby and his- shirt: all that it-‘
was held up to be. He was nbout345, and
decidedly peevish. None of his traveling
companions had- shown up, and the marquis
stood warming a pair of carelessly cared for
hands at the fire till a waiter approached
with a deferential bow and whispered:
_. “Perhaps your lordship would ulilnefo sit
down.”"' ' 5‘ .. 5.5
“Demmit.” - " 1
“Yes, sir,” said the waiter, sympathetic-
ally; it was apparent that his lordship meant
that he was cold and did not relish any inter-
ruption of his reverie by the fire. 80 the
waiter laid a table for four. and after a time
the most noble marquis sank into one of the
chairs and fell to examining his finger nails.
He. shook his head dolorously when the in-
spection was completed, and was evidently
eyeing a. neighboring fork, when a. noisy
little Frenchman bustléd in, and, rubbing his
hands briskly, cried: 1
“Good morning, good morning, m’ lawd.
How is it you find yourself this morning?
Good? Eh! Ver’ cold, though—good morn-
' ing.”
BNU‘BBIN‘} A GUEST.
; "He held his hand out to be shaken, but' the
marquis pretended not to see it; The French-
man then pushed the hand almost under the
.marquis’ nose. The nobleman closed his eyes
and yawned prodigiously. Then the foreigner
twrddled his fingers with incredible nervous
1 rapidity, while the marquis glared at them
stupidly. _ I never saw anything so grotesque
even in farce comedy on the stage. The whole
room was. now in a state of agonized sus-
pense; waiters stood still and guests sat with-
forks poised in the air. At last the noble
marquis lifted his left hand and laid one
finger across the twiddiing fingers of his
guest. It was more of an insult than his pre-
vious action. The other squeezed the finger
rapturously, and then a. tall and fine looking
man of 60, who is amember of parliament,
strode in. He, too, walked directly up to the
marquis and held out his hand. The hdst ex-
tended his left hand, and, touching the out-
stretched palm, withdrew it again. Directly
behind the late comer was the fourth mem-
'ber of the party, a tall and handsome captain
of dragoons.
"Haw,” he said, “maw’n.”
The marquis again put out his left snap-
pishly, and after the dregoon had shaken
hands with all the others he too sank into his
chair. The nobleman is traveling here under
one of his minor titles of - Lord Merrics,
though everyone knows perfectly well who
he is. All Englishm' en haves. hidden longing
to travel under strange names in Ireland.
All the marquis’ friends and servants ad-
dressed him with scrupulous care by his
assumed title.
Presently two of the liveried servants of
the marquis hurried in with the breakfast.
The three guests waited until the host was
served and well under way before they
touched their food. Then they began to talk.
It was an interesting pantomime. Every
time‘ a joke was made the eyes of all three
men looked sidewiso at the marquis, If he
grinned, there was a roar of delight. If he
didn’t, there was a dead silence.
rim NOBLEMAN’S FOOT GEAR.
He did not say sword until he had finished
his chop, and then hobroke intoa story of the»
member of parliament with:
“I—ah—wear low shoes now al-to-gethaw.”
“Do you, indeed, my lord!” gushed the M.
I‘., dropping his story at once and looking
uitb'great eagerness under the table at the
nobleman’s feet. » ‘
“Delightful,” said the Frenchman, radi.
antly.
“Devilish good thingto do,” bawled the
dungeon heartily, also looking under the
table.
“Because,” continued the great landed pro-
prietor, “they ventilate the feet.”
Upon this a perfect clamor-pf approval
broke out among the guests, and they all
leaned over and admired the low shoes of
the nobleman to an extent that would have
been silly if it had not been sickening. Th0
marquis soon lost interest in the subject, and
his guests branched off again. Occasionally
they addressed him‘pointedly, but he never
looked at and seldom answered them. He
was, in fact, as surly and ill-bred a. snob as 1
ever saw. Finally he woke up from his ap-
parent stupor again and said to his personal
attendant: ,
“Watkins, more ban’y and some old
cheese.”
“Would your lordship like gorgonzola?”
“Is that the rotten kind?” ' .
The man bowed.
“Bring me some,” said the marquis
shortly, “I like the rib—cheese that can walk
alone.”
The outburst of merriment at this was
overwhelming, and the three sycophants
talked cheese till the marquis revealed the
fact'that he had lost interest in the subject
by going heavily to sleep in his chair—a
wizened, shrunken, untidy, slovenly, snarl-
ing looking little person with a weak chin, a.
parchment skin, and protruding, yellowish
teeth. The others had finished their break-
fast, but they would not move till the 'mar-
quis awoke. It grew late and still the host
slumbered on. Finally the little Frenchman
slyly pushed a big spoon off of the table, and
it fell with o. clatter that brought the. mar-
quis shivering and awake in an upright posi-
tion in his chair. .
“What was that?” he asked sharply.
“One of the French waiters dropped a
fork, m’ lord,” said Watkins, the servant,
quietly.
“Nawsty rats, foreigners,” muttered the
most noble marquis. Then, without a war-1‘ '
to the eager and smiling men around him, he
tottered out of the room yawning hideously.
The others trooped proudly after him—New
York Sun.
Artificial Illumination.
Investigations concerning the effects of
different forms of artificial illumination 0n
the health have shown that the tallow candle
is the most unwholesome agent and the elec-
tric light; the best. The incandescent electric
light produces only about 1.30 as much heat
as the-tallow candle, while it gives out no
carbonic acid or water. One gas jet in a
room is said to vitiatc the air as much as six
persons—Frank Leslie’s.
White Strolling. -
Mr. M. S. Hamlin, one of the best- known
insurance men in'Nortli Carolina, writes
from \Viiiston, as follows: “Ever since I
was seven years of age I have had what
the doctors call hip disease, and which I
call white swelling. My hip was drawn
out of place. There was a swelling at the
knee-joint. where there is a profuse run-
ning, which has been there for years. Of
course this has greatly depleted my sys-
tem, together with surgical operation on
the leg bone. I tried every known blood
purifier to build‘ up my system, but none
did me gnu d until I took S. S. S. I use it
every spring. It always builds me up,
giving me appu-tiic and digestion, and on»
bles me to stand the long. trying, ener-
vatixig, hot summer days. To me there is
no such medicine for purifying the blood
and- buiidiiig up the wasted system as
S. S. S. On using it I soon became strong
of body and easy of mind. My color
changed from a pale,‘ worn look to a
healthy, robust complexion "
Mr. G. N. Frizzel, of Farmersville,
Texas, writes: “About August lst, 1865,
an eruption appeared on my arm and
legs, which pained me much and seemed
to affect my physical condition generally.
