teqitaint Nellie with aome arrangewieht
which he had just cotupleted with re
gard to their aeon Approatdiing marriage
and, after a ahort time paaaed in plea
ant eonreraatiott) he relattantly nroee,
and, bidding a tender adieu to the fair
girl, leu the houne with a firm, elastic
tread." -.- ' - j
Hardly had he taken hie detMuinre,
when the trout deor-keU again rang and
a nee more a young gentleman waa uih
ered into the drawing roosm. The new-
earner was tail and alight, witk jet black
hair, and a piercing look in tbe black
eye that tnxled ho good to an ' enemy.
Aa be aank into n chair, something gus-
tening upon tho floor caught hi ye ;
Aud as be rcognited it he could scarce
refrain from a shout of pleasure, fer Fred
Acten had long been the secret rival of
Uuy, each striving to win the hand oi
lair fi elite i omeroy. . And now, as he
hold in his grann the tiny locket, which
by aome evil chance had beeome de
tached from the bracelet on Nellie's arm,
he felt that he possessed an almost cer
tain means of revenge . en Uur, and
stood, perhepa, a better chance of win
ning the fair girl for his wife ; for tbe
locket, as he knew, had been Guy's fint
love-gift to fellie, and was prised a
one of her choicest possessions.
: At this moment the foeunan entered
the parlor, presenting Miss Putneroy 'm
regrets, and a request that Mr. Acton
would excuse her that afternoon. The
truth was that with her wenianly intai
kton she had long ago divined the secret
which he thought was known to himself
alone; and having err-r treated him with
pohta indiffei ence she felt teee inclined
now than erer to endure a ttft a-tete
tahis. -
Kiaiuv as the footman entered with
her message, and scarcely able to ca .
coal the -Iensnre it afforded him at thin
moment, when lie still trcmlilinji
with tbe frai of having been seen as be
hastily hid the shining bsnble in km
bosom, he left hie compliments and de
iartd. v
- - Going directly to a jeweler's he pui -
chased a small ring, with which he fast
ened tbe locket securely to his watch
chain, and then sauntered . down the
street, in the hope of meeting Gay. Ilia
wish was destined to be fultUled; for he
was shortly gratified by seeing Guy ap
proaching, with a serene, eon ten tod look
on his handsome faoe. '
As they stopped to chat, .Fred, as if
anxious to conceal something, pisoed
his hand carelessly on his watch-chain ;
bat Guy, as was intended, noticed the
action, and said laughingly: "What is
it that you are so jealously ' guarding,
Frodt - -A love token from- eoaae fsir
lsdyr " ' " ' ' ' ':Sii
"Yes; but for' tear that it might
blight your hopes in'tbat direction, per
kaps I had better not shew it to you t
present," langhed false Fred, nervous-
iy- ... .-. .
"Oh, never tear lor me ! said Gey,
"for I have already caged . my bird, and
so shall not prove a dangerous : rival to
vonrTuit." - " "
WM1, then, buM!": replied ;Fred;
reaio ii)r hw Kmu,!, and disclaaing to
view tbe tii;y locket-V; i , j '
Guy turned pale aa dea'iC Vut '.mas
tering his emotion by a violent effort, be
playfully insisted .upon knowing the
name of Fred's charmer.
"Ob, come," said Fred, "you are
feigning innocence; for surely yon must
often have sees this trinket npon the
arm of fair 'Nell the irresistible,' ,who
has this day bestowed it upon me as a
pledge of her true love." - J ; i
. Gay bad stood as if tarned to atone
while this flippant speech was being rat
tled out, and then, witk a few common
place words, passed on : but his tread
(was not as free and elastic as before he
met Fred, snd his head, which then had
been raised proudly," was now bent for
ward dejectedly; for A dark cloud had
suddenly arisen, which threatened ta
overshadow forever the bright morning
oi n cappinesa.
Fred watched him nass on with a ear
donie sraile on his handsome yet sinister
faoe, and thought to himself, "Ah, my
fine fellow, 'there's many . a slip 'twist
tbe cop and the lip,' as yon may find to
your cost; and then you will know the
consequences of standing in the way of

For five yesrs Guy wandered through
fiumpet fiw five ywir he vainly strove
to find f'rgPtfnlne and happiness in
constant excitement arid change of scene;
but failing in this he had at last resolved
to visit again the L'.uJ of . hit birth, if
only to mark the ravages . which tieie
had made among his old friends. Hoke
returned to London, .
Not once had a suspicion of Fred Ac
ton's treachery crossed his wind, for to
Guy ke had always shown the better
iNtrt of hie natunt besides, the proof of
Nellie's duplicity had seamed toe eon
elusive to ailta.lv. ef any lingering doubt
his tore might have suggest.
And Nuiliet Throwu into a nervous
fever by the crtiel note from Guy, she
wavered long between life and death ;
but, finally, her perfect constitution
gained the victor , and she again min
gled in the gay world of fashion ; but a
certain sadness was perceptible in her
manner, and a weary look in ber blue
eyes showed that her heart was not in
terested la the gay scenes by which she
was surrounded.
Vainly had Fred Acton sued for her
hand. Feeling that he waX in some
manner connected with Guv's mysteri
ous behavior, ahe had only scorn to give
bint. At nrst she had hoped tbat some
trivial act of hers had displeased Gar,
and he would soon return, but as the
weeks rolled on, and no word came from
the absent one, she finally ceased to ex
pec him.
: Fred Acton, after reieated refusals
from Nellie, had at last given up all
hoK of winning her hand; but, loving
her still, aa much as his selfish nature
was eapatile of loving, he attempted to
drown his sorrow in the wine cup; and.
with dunking aad fast horses, waa ra;
idly eating up the hsndsetue proiierty i
left him by his father. One day, while
riding at break-neck aieeJ, his horse,
frightened at a fluttering rag, shied and
threw him. When the hastily -summoned
physician had examined his wotiads,
he pronounced him mortally injured. .
' Knowing, then, that for him all the
thoughts of revenge on Guy wete use
less, hud that he must soon render up nn
account of hia evil deeds, his thoughts
turned to Nellie, with a fboble wish that
be could undo the wrong he had done
her. S ho dictated a letter, confessing
his sin, begging her forgiveness, and
c inraining the locket, and dispatched it
to the injured girl, who, true woman
that she was, could not but pity the dy
ing man, bitterly as he hail wronged bet,
and, that he might notdie thinking him
self unforyiven, sent a note to the hotel
to which he had been carried, but the
messenger reached there only in time to
hear tbat the unhappy Fred Acton had
breathed his hist.
Gay had supposed that Nellie and
Fred were) long since married; but hard
ly had he set foot in London when ke
was recognized and accosted by one of
his old friends, who, among the gossip
he had to relate concerning Guy's old
circle of acquaintances, mentioned the
fact ef Fred Acton's death, and also said
that Miss Pomeroy was as beautiful as
ever, but unmarried. At this Guy's
heart throbbed wildly, and his brain al
most realed with the idea that perhaps
his own rashness had dhshed the cup of
happiness from bis lips. Could there
have been treachery in Fred Aoton's
conduct, and bad he wronged Nellie all
the-w weary years.
Wildly ho asked himself these ques
tions while on the way to his hotel; and
by tha time be had arrived there ha had
resolved that be would at least seo Nel
lie aad have an explanation with her.
Once more he turned his steps toward
the well-known house . where he had
spent the kappieat hours of his life ;
once more he was ushered into the fa
miliar room,, where even the pictures on
the walls seemed to smilo on him in
friendly recognition.' B roused by tray
el, the old family servant failed to re
member him, so he gave no name, mere
ly requesting to see Miss Pomeroy.
Nellie soon appeared; but hardly had
she crossed the threshold when the eyes
of love recognised him, and with a wild
scream of "Guy, dear Guy !" she was
folded to his heart . ..
Long explanations followed. Nellie
told of the loss of her locket on the day
of Guy's last visit, and how she had re
gretted it, being his gUt. She also told
of the dying confession of Fi'ed Acton,
and his restoration of her locket, which
she showed him, worn on a blue ribbon
about her neck. .
Guy, penitent but loving, was fully
forgiven by his deeply wronged Nellie,
who, in' the joy of such a reunion, had
no heart to blame him.;
Soon after there waa a grand wedding
in tho btately mansion ; and, attbough
the fair bride's ornaments were, milk
white pearls, there hung' suspended
from the central cluster of her necklace
a tiny locket, bearing en it a blue for-get-rnn-not

1 I have spent but . two days bn the
Exposition grounds, my lime' Having
been taken up' mainly in securing lodg
ings, and with the many things thai a
green American hss to contend, on en
tering, for the first time, a new country;
which, no matter what may have been
kit preperatious, be will find sufficiently
confusing to give hiln some annoyance
and cost ' him some1 monev. - For the
rcoiit, I shall write of things hs they
ap-iear to me, after a very imperfect ex
amination, and .try to reflect the im
pressions they tusk npub hie. 1 This, I
am persuaded, will be A safer role than
if I were to attempt, after four days'
residence, te writo as one jierfeetTy fa
miliar with this great tpositionj great
city and great people, and, of course,
faU. -- " ,
The Exposition impresses me, at first
sight, aa being more distinctively French
than was ours Aoiericnn ) more of a iut
tional fair and less t-f a ' world's fair
than we had at Philadelphia. It will
be remembered that, at our Centennial,
we took the trouble to translate circu
lar, ' notices, signs, "directions in tlir
street care, etc., into the French, Ger
man, Italian and Bpaniah languages.
Nothing of the kind is done here, al
though there are, perbai, in Paris, fifty
timet, as many eople ignorant of the
French language as there were in Phil
adelphia who did not know English.
Tho French are the least Iyg1ot of all
civilized people their vanity will not
allow them to admit the existence of
any other language. But the spread of
that language which philologists, of
whatever nationality, have prophesied
will one day be universal, is folt power
fully in Paris. If a shopkeeper has a
salesman, saleswoman, 6r errand ly
tkat ran speak ever so little English, he
is sure to write on his windo-, in large
gilt letters, "English spiiker."
Tbe exhibits of other na-'onnuilc-s
have the same genei-sl fenturvs tbat
characterised them at rhilaMi-his,
and, in some instances, the precise arti
cles. This is particularly noticeable in
tho department of fine arts, where those
who were at Philadelphia in 187C will
see some familiar pictures. Tbe French
art section, I am told by one who is
familiar with the subject, -e-ier.ts min
er a series of revived memories thau &f
new sensations. - Very few actual nov
elties are shown, the genu of the last
decade having been collected from toe
different satoas, and distributed in the
galleries of tha Exposition with das
sling effect. The gallery of tho Lux
umbourg has been robbed of its latest
acquisitions, and no effort has been
spared to make tke French section
eclipse every other. The American art
section, like nearly - all the sections of
tbe Exhibition, art or otherwise, Is in a
state of incompleteness, nor, can it be
regarded aa a fair representation of our
national art.. Owing probably to tlie
shortness of time allotted toantr artists
for prer-aration, but few of our promi
nent painters are represented. The vis
itor sees nothing national or distinctive
in this section, and an American noth
ing that reminds kirn of home or jseun
try. Our artists seem to have borrowed
all their inspiration from foreign scene
ry and foreign subjects, and not to have
found anything worth reproducing at
home. Onr section is fortunate in pos
sessing two small fine works as the
"Funeral of a Mummy," by Mr. Bridge
man, and "Tbe Death - of a Vendean
Chief," by Mr, Wylio. But one cannot
help asking why could net the artist
have wreaked his genius on the funeral
of an Indian chief, a subject quite' as
rich in picturesque and dramatic; ele
tnentT' And what ia' there more tragic
in the death of a royalist ef La Veudee
than in that of a man who yiulns his
life in faith or fanaticism for any other
cause 1 . Will we never excel in the
production of anything but plows and
prima donnas 1
I will write more in detail about the
Exposition when I have had time toJ
give it more careful study. To Amer
icans disposed to come here this year,
Punch's famous advice about getting
married ia good : "don't.1- The wonders
ef the Exposition are little, when com
pared with tha wonders of Paris, and
Paris can be ccen with much , less ex
pense in a year from now. Prices,
everybody tells me, have been doubled.
It is not necessary to say more in em
phasis of their exorbitance than that
they are higher than they were in Phil
adelphia the first few weeks of our
Centennial. Admission to the K Jiibi
tion costs only twenty cents, but the
visitor ' will scarcely get out without
having paid more; it would sound ri
diculous, and not nice, to tell of some
of the things for which these supernat
ural refined Frenchmen charge.

. There, dear girls, is your motto for
your matrimonial game YoU can find
nothing better in the wholo range . of
literature. "The best or none!" " j
( And what constitutes "the bestf
First, and always, the healthiest. And
who is the healthiest! . First, and al
ways, the most' temperate, and temper
anoe, remember, means self-control. The
young man who amukes has lost his
self-control. . llis appetite has ; ran
away with him, and it will carry him, to
other forms of intemperance just, as
surelv as night follows day. Itewsreof
him. ' . -. j
Temperance is pesonnl cleanliness, is
modesty, is quietness, is reference for
one's elders ami betters, is defence for
one's mother and sisters, is gantlenoso,
is courage, is withholding from aught
which loads to excess in daily living, is
the eating and drinking only of that
which will insure tbe bwt body which

I know a man and woman Who took
a sudden fancy for each other unoii their
first meeting. They were both old
enough to know better, but they rushed
iu:o matrimony like two idiots, on a
siy-weeka acquaintance. Of course
they were terribly disappointed in each
other, and have been punished for their
folly. ' They had never heard of each
other till tbey met; they knew nothing
of each other's personal linliitH, likes
and dislikes, caprices or principles or
hwk of principles.
The man is eleven years older than
the woman, aud is one of tbo'e who
"enjov poor health" to such an extent
that thay follow up every now disease
until they know and cserience all its
symptoms. At onetime be had five
different doctors -prescribing for him,
whilo ho was attending to his dsily oc
cupation. He would take medicine by
tho wholesale, but was averse to taking
a bath. lie counted his pulns at every
odd chance during the (lay, and looked
at his tongue with a corresioiiding de
votion." He believed that night air
is a deadly poison, and that human be
ings should shut themselves indoors at
sunset all the year around, close all the
doors and windows, and keep them
cosed until sunrise. The woman was
13 years of age at the time they met.
She bad never knonn anything ahont
"jioor health,"and Was quito niipivj ared
to unite with this man in enjoying iu
She had always been accustomed to her
daily bath, and regarded every one as
intolerably filthy who did not fellow
her example, for she was of very in
tense nature, and what she believed she
believed with an overpowering force
which tolerated . no dissent on l he pnrt
of her immediate associates. In nhort,
she was something in "temperment like
what is implied by the term "bottled
lightning." Their domestic life, was
very much like that of the cats ef Kil'
kenney, as you may well suppose. She
stormed and took her baths, aud 'open
ed tho windows. - He cried, took no
baths, shut the w indows and called the
doctors. ;
There is no law of man's enchant ment
for the punishtneut of such temperance
as tbey were guilty of, nor is .any need
ed. They broke God's laws of the
eternal fitness of things, and God has
punished them ia His own way; and
they stand to-day,' as do many others
who have done like wise, as living exam
ples of . what .men and women should
not do. I beg you all to take warning,
and net do likewise. - Do not trust
your Rolf and your whole future to one
who attracts you simply by a fair ex
terior, but acquaint yourself with his
personal h.slnts, hia family antecedents,
his associations, his tasts and distasts,
his beliefs and disbeliefs.
Remember that the marriage contract
binds you for life to one who is to be
to you like auother self, so close is the
marriage relation, and yoU caa no more
get ' away from that other uelf, if he
prove to be odious .to you, than you can
escape from your own self if you make
yourself odious.
Loveks must not trust too implicitly
to their visual nrrana. A tender awftin

not love me, since you believe your eyes

At the West Point milita.-T school
the cadets are taught to ritle bareback,
to ride without stirrups, to Jump hur
dles, ta use the pistol snd sabre while
ridingr, to "cut heads off right-and left,"
and other feais. The heads are leather
halls about four or five inches in diam
eter, which are placed on posts of vari
ous heights. The. trooper moving at a
rsp'd gallop must cut these heads rid
ing to the right and left, and also cut
heads resting on the ground, the last a
rather difficult feat when done to tbe
left, compelling the rider to swing his
saber over his bridle hand and reach
down from a horse sixteen hands high.
They also cut heads with the right and
loft cut at the same instant jumping a
hurdleTThe "most skillful manosuver
ia tho entt ingfof a head upon the ground
between two hurdles placed about forty
fuet apart, the trooper riding at full
speed and cutting to the right and left
in the interval between leaping the
hurdles. Tbe trooper ia also taught to
turn bis horse at fall gallop in a circle
four yarih in diameter. Most of these
feats are performed in a. riding hall, a
room about one hundred and ninety
feet long, by sixty-eight wide, with a
tanbark floor. The parade ground is
about three hundred and fifty, yards
long, by one hundred and fifty wide.
Seventy-five horses are kept in use, the
stables accommodate about t Be hundred.
The animals are cared for by a detach
ment of regular soldiers provided for
suca service, the cadets being too busy
to perform this duty. , .
