A SUGGESTION.

 

Let the wild red ros'ehloom. though not to thee
So delicately perfect as the white
And unwed lily drooping in the light;
Though she has known the kisses of the bee
And tells her amorous tale to porous by,
1b perfumed whispers and with unta'ught grace.
Still let the red rose bloom in her own place;
She couldnot be the lily should she try!
Why to the wondrouaulghtiugale cry “Hush."

PERFECTLY SHOCKING.

I have ventured to call the story of a little
bit of my life “Shocking,” to remind my
readers that they are expected to be shocked
by it, and that the moral it conveys should
be brought home to the hearts of all truly
fashionable people. But, shocking as my
conduct was,I fearI cannot repent or be
ashamed of it, though I am philanthropic
encugh to hope that mysad example may
act as a warning to all young married
women.

The essence of autobiography is egotisln, as
some writer remarked, and I shall therefore
not apologize for the numer‘ of “1’s” that will
occur in the following pages:

My mother was a very well known person
in New York ecciety; she lived in and for the
world—the World of ball going and amuse-
ment—and played her part in it with much
seal andsuccess. ,

It was only when an unfortunate redness
of her nose. caused, ill natured people said,
by tight lacing, disgusted her with the look-
ing glass, that she adopted the high‘ church
pietism to which she is now so devoted, and
as she sits in her favorite corner of the Church
of the Beatific Pharisee, with her lovely
books of devotion. her smelling bottle and
her general air of condescending piety, you
really forget about her nose. and are inclined
to ignore the reason which has so happily, if
painfully, brought her into the arms of the
church.

She was always a very good mother to
me, and from the auspicious day which saw
my debut in society till that no less an-
spicious one when‘she wept quietly behind
me as Tom placed a. gold ring on my hand at
the altar of Grace church, she was always
most careful of my welfare and eager for my
advancement andhappiness And what a
chaperon she was! Even at Sin the morn-
ing, when other chaperons were asleep or
fuming with the desire for bed, there she sat,
pale and determined, ready to encourage a
good parti, or frown upon a bad
one, or on me if I encouraged him.
Many a. time have I reached home from Del-
monico’s, smarting from the pinches she,
for my own good, had bestowed upon my
arms, when I had been more than usually ob-
stinate in preferring some good looking
journalist with nothing a year, to an abdom-
inal broker ready to place the disposal of his
millions at my feet. -

And her vigilance had its reward, for at
the end of my second season. just aspapa
was beginning his annual growl about the
bills and the cottage at Newport, the society
papers were enabled (by momma sending
them information) to announce my forth-
coming marriage with Mr. Thomas Van
Pygg, of Sixth avenue and Irvington—on-
Hudson, quite one of the best men, in a pc-
cuniary sense, of the year. Tom loved me in
the most ridiculous, old fashioned way, and
always treated me as if I were in some way
his superior, whereas—but I suppose I had
better keep my deficiencies to myself. Let it
sumce thatI was and am rather pretty, could
play on the piano and sing after a fashion,
and had developed quite amarvelous amount
of sesthetic taste in what we call high art
furniture. I think I knew how to dress, too,
and papa—who usually found fault with me,
so his testimony is important—said that I
had an enormous talent for spending money.

Well, we were wed. and we went off for
our honeymoon, grinning like a couple of
idiots, as we no doubt were. And here comes
one of the most humiliating of my confes-
sions. I was absurdly, inexpressibly happy
during that same honeymoon. I had so
often laughed at the thing, and vowed it was .
a relic of barbarism, and declared that a i
married couple should at once commence i
the life apart from one another, except at
meal times, which is their after fate, that it
was very dreadful for lne to be so happy.

Of course, no one is ever “in love" nowa-
days; so it couldn’t have been that. No, I
fancy it must have been the getting away
from papa and mamma, combined perhaps
with the feeling that I' was now free to
amuse myself as I listed, with no one to
frown or say unpleasant things to me when ,
I flirted with dear, handsome Dirk Van
Khounhyde. Dirk had always been my fa-
vorite partner, and his despair when I told
him that the announcement in the papers
was true was very touching. He came to
the wedding—which he thought it funny to
call “the funeral,” I remember, and he really
made it look like one—and the reproachful
look he gave me as I got into the carriage
with Tom would have been touching, only at
that moment I was taken up with Tom’s stu~
pidity in letting some of my lace get shut up
in the door. .

But, somehow, clumsy and stupid alld
ridiculously in love as Tom was, the honey-
moon weut like lightning, and I scarcely
opened one of the many books (French novels
principally) that I had taken to while away
what I thought would be so dreary a time.
I regret to say that we “kept company" just
as the footlnan and maid do, and spooned
like a couple of sentimental German trades
people.

_ ...., and made himself very agreeable, tak-
ing Tom of! at last to look at some horses at
the Riding club—“some of his own, I think
they were—which poor Tom ended by buy-
ing, and did not pay more than double their
value.

Tom never could say “No" to any one.
“What's the use of my being rich. if I can’t
help my friends who are pearl” he would
say, and it was in vain I preached to him on
the utter nselessness of such doings.

Of course we didn’t stay in New York long,
but shortly migrated to Irvington, and soon
after arrived Dirk Van Khounhydc, and took
up his abode with us. apparently for the sum-
mer. I thought this rather cool. for I am
sure, whatever I may have said, I never
meant him to stay more than a usual visit;
but after all he was very amusing and use-
ful, and fetched and carried for me very well,
and always looked nice, and never dreamed
of flirting with any one but me, though Mrs.
Daydreemewvould have given her eyes to de
tach‘him. . So, as long‘as Tom did not object,
it was not,for me to do so; but after he had
bun withns about six weeks Tom did object.
and for the first time his manner to me was
decidedly unpleasant.

“Some ill natured woman has been abusing
me to you," I said, for I was annoyed. I

liked Tom to be always smiling and affection-
ate (:0 me.

“I shouldn’t allow any one to abuse you to
me, but I confess l have heard something
that has put me out.”

Tom was getting rather white. I had
never seen him angry before, and I think it
became him. I felt that if he looked at me
long in that stem way I should give in, begin
to cry, and ask him to pet me again; but he
said nothing, evidently putting a good deal
of restraint on himself to remain silent, and
left my 'ljoom. And then I set to work and
cried. just like the heroine of one of those
dreary romances that amused our grand-
mothers, whowere always retiring (o'their
own rooms, letting down their back hair,
and, while calling on their lovers by their
surnames, shedding bucketfuls of tears. But
it was, of course, important that in our first
domestic difference I should win; so I stood
firmly to" my guns, and that very night, be-
fore Tom and several other people, I asked
Dirk to manage so that he could stay with us
to the end of the summer. Dirk. who had
never intended to go, accepted with a rather
amused look in his face, and said things to
me that evening—when Tom was nodding
over the paper in the smoking room—which
I ought not to have allowed; but I was angry
with Tom—und—you might as well have tried
to quiet a mad hull with a bundle of tracts as
try to bring confusion on a Nineteenth cell»
fury Adonis with cold looks.

I am not going to weary you by the ac—
count of how Dirkgradually got. a certain
amount of influence over me, and made me
do things that at heart 1 did not want to do,
and tell him—which was not true—that l
was fond of him, and made me use all sorts
of little mean tricks to blind poor, dear Tom,
who nevertheless seemed to be losing his
spirits, and fretting a good deal about some-
thing. But then there was one thing we
overlooked. and which 1 am really ashamed
to put down here, to wit, that I liked my
husband better than Mr. Dirk Van Khoun-
hyde.

At last I think this strange fact seemed to
dawn 'upon Dirk. He became savage, and
tyrannined over me in the most fearful man-
ner. I really had to maneuver with intense
cunning to get‘a little time alone with Tom
now and then, and Dirk was always catching
us together, and was angry after having done
so, so that my life was made perfectly
wretched. Tom’s .low spirits, too. did 310$
make things much pleasanter, and my delight
knew no bounds when, one day‘toward the
end of July, Dirk informed us that he was
going to Narragansett for a, week. .1 tried
to catch Tom‘s eye as he told us this, but
only caught Dirk’s, and he divined what was
in my mind, and looked positively diabolic.

As the time for his departure grew near I
counted the days; but‘my disappoinhnent
was great when, the very day 'before‘tlie
b1 departure was to take place, Tom

"'1 ha‘ve had some business to attend to for
some time,” he said when we were alone. to-
gether for a few moments, Dirk having
gone to the stable to smoke a pipe, “and-
and—perhaps it is best that you should know
the truth, Cornelia. You have chosen that
people should talk of you in such a way that,
though, of course, I do not believe there is a
particle of truth in the gossip, yet I don‘t
choose to leave Irvington whil’ You Khoun~
hyde is here. His visit tof-‘z Narragansett en-
ables me to attend to my busiliess.”

I longed to tell him all-yesgfall the truth
—for Tom would have forgiven me, I know,
and there was nothing really bad to tell; but
Dirk came in at that moment, and the '0p-
portunity was lost. The next day Tom took
an early train, and Dirk was to go offer
lunch. I found a note from Tom on the hall
table when I came down. It was stiff and
ill expressed, but I could read affection and
pain between the lines, and I made up my
mind on the spot as to my course of action; T

I managed to avoid Dirk till luncheon, and
then, to my horror, he informed me that he
had changed-his plans and was not golng‘to
Narragansett!

“Indeed, I wrote to put that 03 three days
ago," he said, smiling in such a cunning way,
“directly I heard he was going to town. We
shall have a whole week together. ”

What could I do? I could not turn the
man out of the house, and yet I knew that
the talk—bad enough before-would redouble
now. What cauld I do? What could I sayi

I made up my mind. Just as the servants ,

were laying the cloth for dinner, when Dirk
was smoking his usual cigarette in the con-
servatory, a veiled figure might, have been
seen stealing from the side door‘near the gar-
den gate land taking the direction of the
town. It was I.

My terror of the man in. the conservatory

was causehss'hbut‘it was absolute. I felt'
that were I caught in my flight he would.

keep me chained at home, unable to escape

from his influence; so I stole away, half

walked, half ran the five miles between me
and the railway station; took a place in the
evening train to New York, and got in about
9 o’clock, cold, hungry, footsoro and excited.
I had forgotten to bring enough money, 'and
fearing perhaps that I should not find Tom,
was afraid to take a cab: so. losing my way
constantly, I walked through lthewet streets
from the Grand Central depot, and eventu-
ally reached the Benedict, where Tom bad
rooms, his old rooms, as the house on Fifth
avenue was being repainted ' .

The man who opened the door belonged to
the p1ace’,1m'd‘did not know me.

“Mr. Van Pygg is engaged,” he said.

“Oh, tell him that a lady wishes to see him
on urgent business.”

“Why, that’s what the other lady said just
now,” remarked the man, grinning.

“The other lady l" ‘

“Yes—as is with him now.”

“Let lbs in!” I exclaimed, pushing past
him with the strength of fury. “Let me
pass! I am his wife!”

I do not know whether my strength or the
announcement of my position did it: but I got
in and dashed into the parlor. There was
Tom standing by the window, and there—
yes—therc on the table were a bonnet and
jacket.

I could'not speak. I merely advanced to
the center of the room and pointed to the
evidence of his depravity. . ' ,

He was too much astonished to speak, also,
and we stood silently confronting one an
other for a moment. Then the door of the
other room opened and there came out—his
sister Emily, a dear old thing, but rather too
f and of lecturing her brother’s wife.

The revulsion of failing, the journey, the
excitement, perhaps the want of dinner, took
effect upon me, and for about the first time
in my life I fainted away. When I came
back to life Emily was gone and I was alone
with Tom. .

Then, with my head on his dear, broad
shoulder, I told him everything—everything
—and be forgave me; and that night in’ his
old bachelor chambers was the happiest, I
think, of my life. '

But, my dear readers, if you areasshocked
as you should be at this sad story of a woman
running away from a fashionable existence
to the goody, goody delights of legitimate
nifectiou,.do not be cast down. My story
ma not; be true, and, 'if it is, it may be
100 'cd upon as the history of an event never
to occur among us again-Drake’s Magazine.

 

 

Gen. Garfield‘s Carclessncss.

“I don’t think I ever knew a man who was
more improvident, or who had less ability to
take care of his money, than Gen. Garfield,"
said a gentleman who was on very intimate
terms witli‘the late president, to a Star rc-

‘ porter the other night. “His friends all knew

the generul’s Weakness in that respect,” he
continued. “and ware always calling to assist
him when he got into a. tight place, which, I
must say, was quite often. He was suclla
genial, companionable man'that every "one
who knew him liked him, and those who
were his intimates positively loved him.
Garfield knew that be had no head for busi-
ness; that he could not keep money, and he
often joked about it. Sometimes those of
his friends who had pulled him out of close
financial quarters frequently would get a
little irritated, but they always ended by
giving him what he wanted. I’ll tell you a
little story, which is as trueasgospel. In
1877 there was a large party'going to make
the trip across to San Francisco, and Car-
field wanted very much to go. He had been
invited and had his railroad passes there and
back. But such a trip costs money, evenlif
you don’t pay railroad fare, and Garfield
was hard up. . He was talking about the trip
one daylwith a banker here and myself, and
expressed regret that he could not go. The
banker asked him why, and he confessed that
he hadn’t any money. The banker said he
would loan him $500. and Garfield’s face .lit

up with pleasure as he asked when he could,

have the money. The banker, who knew his
weakness, said he wouldn’t give it to him,

I . for if he did he wouldn’t have any by the
' time the train should start, but he agreed to

give it to me, with the understanding that I
should give the general‘S"..50 after he got on

the train .and- _take5the: other 8250 to Mrs. _

Garfield to keep her while he was'gonc. 'lIIe
agreed to the terms, and I faithfully carried
them out.”—-Washington Star.

Exterminato- Cockroaches.

A housekeeper, who was recommended to
try cucumber peel ‘as a remedy for cock-
roaches, strewed the floor with pieces of the
peel. cut not very thin, and watched the se-
quel. The pest covered the peel within a
short time so that it could not. be seen, so vo-
raciously were they engaged in sucking. the
poisonous moisture from it. The second
night that this was tried the number of the
cockroaches was reduced to aqua-fer, and
none. were left alive on the third night. vBal-

View of the Practical Department where Students are engaged in actual business opera-
tions, including the Retail, Wholesale, Jobbing and Commission, and Banking Business;
the business of one office alone averaging from Twenty to Forty Thousand Dollars per
day in College funds. or $50 to $100 in U. S. currency.

This lathe manner in whioh our Students are taught to shoulder the responsibili-
ties of handling thousands of dollars in their business life.

This institution has graduated nlorc successful business men than all other business
schools in the State combined. Bank presidents and other prominent and practical busi-
ness men who have made a careful inspection of the College and its several departments,
and especially the banking department, where the books and methods are the same as
those found in any National Bank in the country, concede that no College
in this country offers superior facilities to persons seek-

INCREASE YOUR PENSION.

Many pensioners borne on the rolls ‘ale entitled
lo a. lunch higher rate of pension than they now
receive. Inagreat majority of cases in which
pension was granted for disease, the pensioner is
entitled to an increase of rule, and in 0st cases
where it was granted for wounds or 1 mice the
disability increases each year. As time passes the
disability of all classes naturally increases. Many
were at lirst. rated too low. and It often occurs
that pensioners are unjustly or erroneously re~
(laced by examining surgeons. A pensioner is
entitled to increase on a disability not set forth in
Ills original declaration. The pension laws are
more liberal than formerly, and better rating can
be had for many disabilities. I make a specialty
of Neglected and Rejected Claims. and if you Will

officer, who has since become prominent and
well known throughout the country, was
then in command of a brigade on the right of

Ghosts In Jail.

In various parts of China there is a belief
that the souls of very atrocious criminals
who have either been executed or died in
prison are sent back from Hades by Yeulo.
the judge there, to undergo a further term of
imprisonment, one death not being enough
to expiate their crimes. When the second
term of imprisonment is judged to have ex-
pired the district magistrate beseeches the
tutelary deity of the city to accompany him
to the prison in order to acquaint the ghost
of his release. The order is supposed to reach
the imprisoned by burning it, a. ceremony .
which is solemnly carried out in the jail. On
Aug. 19 last the district magistrate of the
city of Soochow had placards posted up in-
viting subscriptions of imitation money for
the ghosts then in the city jail. This was all
duly burned and thus converted into cur-
rency, which would be useful to the ghosts
ah the long journey before them—London

A Baker’s Profits.

The American Analyst thus sums a baker’s
profits, or what a. barrel of flour is worth
when made into bread. A baker will toss a
barrel of flour into a trough. Then he tosses
104 pounds of ’water on top. A quantity of
yeast is added, and the baker has 300 pounds
of dough to operate on. The 300 pounds cost
him $5. Ill short order the dough is turned
into “twists,” high loaves, pan loaves and
other styles of the same quality. The oven's
heat reduces the 300 pounds of dough to 200
pounds of bread. The baker sells his bread
at the rate of 4 cents a pound. or at an ad-
vance of over 30 per cent. over what it cost
him. There are 1,400 bakers, great or small.

the trust of supplying bread for 1,300,000
persons. There are many bakers in that city
who make 1,300 loaves of bread per day and
sell it for from $80 to 8150, or a. net profit of
840. Little money is lost in the business,
and most bakers do a. cash trade.

 

Air in Scotch Tenements.

The authorities of Dundee, Scotland, have
been making some thorough investigations
of the air in poor tenements. This led to a.
comparison with the air of sewers, and it

was found that the sewer air was decidedly '

the purer and safer of the two. That is,
there was more carbonic acid and organic
matter and other poisons in the air of a. badly
ventilated apartment, occupied by human
beings, thaninasewer. This is doubly true
of overcrowded and badly ventilated halls
and lecture rooms, and such places as are
often used for auctions. The fact maybe

which is simply the natural air of the house,
owing to lack of common sense in sanitation.
Thousands of houses get no ventilation, ex-

She was 8 years old and
lived in the country. She had started one
day rather late for school with another little
girl about her own age. On their way they
caught a glimpse of a clock dial through an
open door; it lacked five minutes of 9.

“Oh, dear!” exclaimed the pious little girl,
“it’s five minutes to 9. and we will be late to
schoo ."

“I’m afraid we will."

“J ennie,” said the pious little girl, impress-
ively. “I’ll tell you what we must do; we’ll
kneel right down here and pray that we
won’t be late!”

“E'ml” said the other, “I guess that we‘d

The English on Early Marriages.

In summing up the marriage controversy,
on which it received 27,000 communications,
The London Daily Telegraph says: “The
coucensus of the letters is overwhelmingly
strong against early marriages. Our law
ought, we think, to forbid marriages to young
men under 21 and to young women under 19.
Among the working classes especially this
would produce. we believe, an excellent effect.
Then, also, it is clear to our mind that the
law of divorce must be enlarged to permit
dissolution of marriage for desertion, for
lunacy, for confirmed inebriety. for convic-
tion of disgraceful crimes, as likewise for
established incompatibility of temper and
temperament, such as a just and prudent
judge would admit to be adequate. That the
marriage serviceas it stands calls also for
alteration has been abundantly demonstrated
by these letters."

Procter'a Three Games.
Professor Proctor, who was in oquiet way
an expert in such matters, asserted that there
were three great games. He. placed chess at
the head of the list as easily the first. There
is no chance in it, but plenty of mental dis-
cipline and excitement. Next be reckoned
whist. Brains and a good memory, with a
certain amount of strategy, are the require-
ments which made it interesting. Last, bile
liards give plenty of healthy exercise. You
need a quick eye, strong nerves and a steady
hand. With these, says the professor, you
can chalk the cue with contentment and

wrote the books which I read as a child chose
to think so, and lived in England. Why, as
