FLORENCE'S BRIDEGROOM.
It was Wednesday evening, dull, with
low, hanging clouds of hopeless gray. A
raw east wind blowing damply, and earth,
and air, and sky were full of the gloomy
presage of the coming storm.
Thursday evening, at this self-same
hour, the marriage ceremony of Florence
Marion and Harvey Callender would take
place; and on this gloomy, depressing
night t lorenee bad taken Herself away
from the houseful of guests that had been
arriving all day, and had gone away by
herself into the silence and gloom, and
loneliness of the long-deserted western
corridor, where portraits of the dead-and-gone-Marions
hung by scores where
statues of marble and bronze, and black
marble and brass, stood in defiant relief
on their pedestals.
It bad alwavs been a favorite resort of
hers, in times of iov and times of sorrow
She and Leon Marion used to walk there,
by the hour, that one blessed summer
time when he was at lhe Place, on ser
vice from his naval duties that blessed
summer-time when they learned that
cousin-ship was no barrier to lover-ship,
when he had pleaded his cause so skill
fully that it seemed to Florence there was
no further happiness left her in all the
world no further happiness, and no pos
sible misery.
And, to-morrow she was to be married
to Harvey Callender handsome, grave,
dignified, of high social and financial
position, a gentleman twenty years her
senior, whom she respected thoroughly
and intended to do her duty by in every
respect.
Two years ago she bad bade her hand
some cousin good-bye. He had taken her
in bis arms, and held her so closely to his
heart that it seemed he would merge
their personalities into one.
He had kissed her on lip, and brow, and
radiant hair, and lingered longest at her
quivering mouth. He bad made her tell
him, over and over again, how she loved
him, that she would be ready for him
when he returned, after a year's service on
his ship in foreign waters, and they bad
parted.
Then, Florence lived it all overagain, as
she nestled up in a little heap on the
cushioned sea; that veiled the oriel win
dow, and drew the hangings of leaf-green
satin damask around her, shuting herself
out fiom all the world.
What awful times had followed right
then, when her stately mother, whom the
girl had revered, and feared, and admired
all her life, more as one reveres and wor
ships a sovereign than as a girl laves and
aaores a motner wnen Airs, oiarion re
ceived a letter from somewhere, from
somebody (Florence never dared ask
from where or whom), and soon called her
daughter lo her, and told her that from
that time Leon Marion's name was to be
forever unspoken between them from
that hour, Leon Marion was to be to her
as though he never had been !
She never understood why she was
forced to accept her mother's ultimatum.
No letter ever reached her trom the man
she loved, and would so long as her heart
beat.
His portrait was turned, face toward the
wall, and, except for that deathless agony
of hopelessness that attended her endur
ance of life, it was as if Leon Marion had
never crossed her path.
Then her mother's friend her mother's
choice was presented to her; a gentleman
whose attentions and devotions were an
honor to any woman: and, just two years
from tbe day when her lover bad gone
away, she was to be married to Mr. Cal
lender. Of late days. Ijtorence's obedient passiv
ity had been deserting her. To-night, she
had rushed away from the gay comDany in
the parlor, library and billiard-room, to be
alone with her thoughts on this her wedding-eve.
It is not given to many young girls to
appreciate the height and depth of passion
as it was given to Florence Marion.
Usually, such capacity comes with maturer
years; but crouching there in the starless
dusk, with tbe heavy satin curtains shut
ting out all the world, and especially
Harvey Callender, this girl of 18 was near
ly heaat-broken, and in her yearning and
her helpless despair, as ever a woman was,
over a spirited haudsjme face she never
again would see the passionate blue eyes
that looked such unutterable things in
her own the low speaking, beloved voice
that had said such words as were meat
and drink to ber glad heart.
Never again never again ! It kept oc
curring and recurring to her again, like
the refrain of a haunting song whose per
sistent melody hurt her to her very soul.
And just then she heard the distant thud
of horse's hoofs, tben, nearer, a man's hur
ried tread, and then, with a bewildered,
frightened, rapturous sensation, she saw
Leon Marion coming up the walk, the gold
on his uniform shining in the pale dusk.
He stopped short at sight of her, stand
ing like a spirit, in the oriel window.
"Florie, my darling; my darling! I
knew I should find you. Oh, my love, how
I have wanted to see you !"
She sank down, weakly, in the chair
nearest tbe window that had enabled her
to catch all the gusts of cold air that went
past her hot cheeks.
She could not say a word in response to
his eager salutations, but her heart was
throbbing so violently that she wondered
if hearts ever did throb themselves to
death.
"Are you not glad to see me, my darl
ing ? Tell me you are glad I am come
to save you from Harvey Callender !"
As yet, Florence had not spoken a word
that horrible, physical sensation was
mastering her. A t last, with a little sigh
that was mingled bewilderment and hope
lessness, she answered him:
"I don't understand you Leon. You
should not be here. You cannot save me
from Mr. Callender. I am to marry him
to-morrow night."
He smiled tenderly back in her sad,
shining eyes, bright with suggestions of
tears.
'But I can save you, Florie that is, if
you will let me. Dear darling! if you love
me as you did
She made a touching little effort to re
fuse him the sweet privilege of his bold
speech.
"Lieutenant Marion, you must not say
such things to me any more."
And ior answer, he reached out his arms
to take her in them that place where, of
all places in the world, she would rather
have been she, who in twenty-four hours
would be Harvey Calleuder's wife ! But
she shrank away.
"Is this my Florie ?"he asked, in a tone
of tender reproach that hurt her so Keenl v
"Dear, I have been strong in. hope and
trust, or else I should have never risked
so much in coming to you to-night. I have
traveled a good many miles to save you
from being the wife of a man I know you
do not love to tell you I want you to be
my wife, dearest. Dou you hear ? Are
you glad, as 1 am, to be my wile, lone r
She grew pale and affrighted. Somehow
it seemed to her that some awful crisis in
her life had come
"Tell me, what you mean," she said,
piteousiy, "for 1 aon't at all understand."
"It is just this," and he laid his hand
caressingly on her arm, "you love me, Flor
ence, and I love you. That is enough, to
my thinking, to effectually prohibit you
from the awful sacrifice you have been led
- . , ! T , f .
iiiwj bo ueany malting, uui aside irom
this. dear, there is a reason wbv vou
should not marry Harvey Callender why
no good, pure woman should marry him !"
Her eyes dilated, almost in terror.
"What do you mean? Don't you see
you irignten me awfully r
Such a look of compassionate tenderness
came into his handsome eyes!
"My darling little girl ! When I would
cherish and comfort you all the days of
your nie v
"But vou must, not talk RO l.(nn. Onlv
Mr. Callender has that right now. And if
there is no reason why
&ne hesitated, blushing painmllv
"By Jove, there is a reason wbv he
snouid not speak to vou. And he shall
not ! Florie, Harvey Callender is a rogue
and deep-dyed villain ! He passes him
self off for a widower, when, as God hears
me, bis wife is alive for I saw her myself
not a week ago !
A little, stifled crv milsed ud from her
lips, and her face paled with horror.
Uh oh, Leon! do vou know what a
dreadful thing you are saying to me? His
wile alive! No, no! Why.he is to marry
me to morrow. It could not be that awful
fact !"
"Dear, I see you do not believe me
rather do not realzie it. Nevertheless, it
is true. Cto to Mr. Callender. and ask him
where his wife is, and let your belief be
based upon bis answer not on mine, the
man who loves vou who will save you if
you win let him."
She rose from her chair, looking so aw
fully concerned, so bewildered and dismayed.
If lone, you haven t let me so much as
touch you; you haven't let me kiss you.
Come, dear ! remember how much we love
each other remember how false and base
hj ic i '
But there was a look in her face that
silenced him.
"No until I know that he is what you
say, only he has the right. Don't look at
me so, Leon ! she wailed out, in sudden,
fierce pain. "It is all too terrible to con
template too horrid; and it can't be true,
tor he was to have made me bis wife to
morrow !"
It was the second time she had said it,
as if no man could have had reason to
treat her, of all women, so cruelly.
It is true, Lieutenant Marion said
quietly, "and I have risked being refused
entrance to this house to save you. Go
ask him. Then come back to me, dear
for always, forever!"
And this girl, who thought she would
rather have died than been Harvey Cal
ender's wife, went rapidly into his pres
ence with little, fierce prayers in her heart
that it might not be so awfully true.
Mr. Callender looked up from tbe
library table, instantly springing to his
feet at sight of her deathly face.
"Child ! child ! what has happened to
you r
She went straight up to him, in an in
tense, desperate way.
Mr. Callenaer, is it true that you al
ready have a wife ?"
Her point-blank question brought the
deep- red blood to his face. The cords on
his forebead started suddenly into em
barrassed prominence. Then, under the
girl's piercing eyes, all agitation vanished,
and his voice was even, gentle, patient.
h lorenee, I nave no wife. If I had, do
you think I would have dared ask you to
marry me t
'Hut 1 am told vou are a married man.
I am told by a a party, who saw your
wife very lately Mr. Callender, as God
hears you, is it true? Have you a wife?
were you ever married l "
And Mr. Callender looked back at ber
with such a look that she was dismayed
to her very sonl.
'Let me send for your mother, lor
enee," he said gravely, as he rang the bell;
and a moment later, Mrs. Marion came
in, her stately dignity unruffled, when
Mr. Callender, in a few, well-chosen words,
repeated to her what h lorenee bad asked
him.
"Mr daughter," she said qaicklv, "a
word or so will explain to you what I
honed vou would not know, until, as Mr.
Calleuder's loving and loved wife, you
would have received the knowledge as
you cannot be expected to receive it to
day. Mr. Callender has no wife in the
eyes of tbe law, in tbe sight ot iiod and a
just people. He has been married the
woman left him to elope witn ner lover,
tbe law granted him absolute divorce and
be is the man your mother respects and
recommends to have the keeping of her
darling's happiness; and, Florence, the
reason why your cousin's portrait is faced
wall-ward why his name is never spoken
is because it was he, Leon Marion, who
was tbe woman's lover."
Florence stood still as a stone, her sweet
face deathly, with an agony that was more
than a thousand deaths.
"I would have spared you all this," Mr.
Callender said, hie rich, grave tones warm
ing into passionful tenderness. "I wanted
to save you the pitiful knowledge, my
pure, white lamb. Yonr mother knew it
all her counsel and my feelings were in
perfect harmony. Florence, dear, will you
forgive me. if you are grieved at the
silence we have k ent ?"
She bowed her head, as some fair, fragile
flower droops its petals when a gale
passes over it only a moment or so,
when, by God's sweet mercy, he revealed
it all to ner.
Then she liftedlt again, all look of tempest-tossed
emotion forever gone from it
an abiding, almost saintly peace in her
lovely eves.
"Mr. Callender," she said, softly. "I am
so sorry for you; I have never loved you
as I should have done. You know that:
and I I thought I loved my cousin. Bat"
and such a look swept across her face
"it is all changed to me now. I would
rather you had told me all," with gentle
dignity; but, perhaps, you and mamma
knew best. At any rate, 1 am very, very
sorry for you, and and" a soft, roseate
glow, crept into her pale cheeks I am
not so sorry as I was that I am to be your
wife.
Nor in clays to come, did she ever regret
it; although there is a place in memory
a dark, silent place, where her thoughts
will sometimes carrv her perforce, and
where a few tears will drop; and then she
comes tortli, thankful, content and happy
Saqui, the Rope Walker.
The most famous rope-dancer of re
cent times was undoubtedly Mme. Saqui,
and her long career would seem to show
that if the practice of rope-dancing
brings some of its profession to a sudden
end, it must in itself be far from un
healthy. We may fairly infer that in
her case it was conducive to longevity;
for she had already made her reputation
at the end of the eighteenth century,
and was still dancing less than twenty
years ago, when she had attained the
age of 76. According to some authori
ties Mme. Saqui was born of French
parents. Her father, Jean Baptiste Lai
anne, was himself a distinguished acro
bat, and he introduced his daughter to
the public at a very early age in a melo
drama on the subject of "Genevieve de
Brabant," the part of Genevieve's child
feeing confided to the debutante. It was
as a dancer on the ordinary boards that
the youthful Saqui made her first appear
ance in public; but she soon aspired to
higher things, and after the troupe of
the "grandes danscuses du roi" had
been broken up at the time of the revolu
tion, she took a regular course of lessons
in rope-dancing from a friend of the fam
ily, who divined the bent of her genius.
The counsellor and instructor who dis
covered and fostered her talent for bal
ancing herself on the tight-rope was, or
had been, a medical student, who. to
escape the tediousness of lectures, had
turned acrobat; and it was through his
earnest representations that the parents
of the future rope-dancing celebrity
were prevailed upon to allow their daugh
ter to quit the regular stage for a less
flignifaed arena.
The child practiced with ardor, and
was scon able to maintain herseii nrm
and erect upon the rope without the as
sistance of the balancing-pole. Her
debut was attended with the most bril
liant success, and for upward of half a
century this prima donna of the dancing
art traveled from capital to capital, ap
plauded and feted wherever she per
formed. There was no town in France,
no country In Europe, which she did not
visit. After a time she established a
theater of her own in Paris. The Em
peror Napoleon, who appreciated her
talent, and was personally much pleased
with her, named her "first acrobat of
France" a title which so pleased her
that she bad it inscribed on the wagon
containing her costumes and apparatus
by which her traveling coach was fol
lowed. Napoleon used to engage her for
all public fetes, and frequently invited
her to perform at his own private enter
tainments. She was the spoiled child,
moreover, of all the princes and dukes,
all the marshals and generals of the em
pire; and she was as great a favorite
with the people as with the members ol
the imperial court. No Italian singer,
even in our own day, enjoyed such
popularity as fell to the lot of Mme.
Saqui.
b or some time ner star seems to nave
faded, or perhaps she retired on the im
mense sums of money which her per
formances had brought her in. How
ever that may have been, circumstances
forced her in 1851 to reappear when she
made her tour in Spain, in Algeria, and
in the principal towns of France. In
1852 she went to Paris and gave a series
of performances at the Hippodrome. The
next year she made a sensational ascent
of the tight-rope in the Champ de Mars,
and the Hippodrome was the scene of a
final performance for her benefit in 1861,
when, at the age of 7b, she went through
a series of funambnlistic exercises and
fantasias, which few, if any, of her
rivals could have equalled. Some four
years afterward, when she had already
completed her eightieth year, this light
and most aerial ballerine died. Pall
Mall Gazette.
A King of Sweden as a Bootblack.
Speaking of a Bernadotte, this reminds
me of an incident in the life of the
founder of the present dynasty. Taken
prisoner, when still m a private, at the
capture of Pondichery, he found him
self among a batch of some 1,200 or 1,500
prisoners, and suffering more or less
from fever ahd dysentery. General von
W in passing through their camp,
noticed the intelligent facj of the young
soldier, and. taking an interest in the
youthful prisoner, he took him into his
house as an extra orderly, and for several
months Bernadotte performed the hum
ble office of brosseur; however, homesick,
he begged to be included in exchange of
prisoners, and he left for France.
Years after General von W was in
command of a small German fortress be
sieged by the French; after a heroic re
sistance they had to capitulate. One
may imagine his surprise when, on de
livering his sword to the Prince of Ptnte
Corvo, the Freneh Marshal threw Kim
self in his arms, exclaiming: " Vous ne
reconnaissez done pas votrejenne brosseur!"
Later on when called to the throne of
Sweden, the King invited General von
W repeatedly to his capital, and
never failed to relate that he (the King)
had once been cleaning the boots of his
gallant guest.
Cards are never "sent in" when the
persons called on are at home. The gen
tleman should give his name distinctly
to the servant, who will announce him.
If onlv the ladv is at home, he should on
his departure leave his card in the hall
for the master of the house.

The Reliable Man.
The reliable man is always there when
he is wanted. You do not have to send
to twenty different places after him ; if
he is not at home, his wife can tell yon
where he is. The reliable man always
tells his mission to his wife.
He is not fool enough to marry a wo
man he cannot trust.
He is not much of a talker, but he
thinks a great deal. He. looks at a sub
ject in all its bearings. His judgments
are nnbiased. If he should be elected
Governor, he will carry State affairs with
a just and firm hand.
In private life, he will always have
plenty of kindling-wood ready in the
morning. No running round in the cold
for him, before he has made his toilet.
He won't be likely to whip his children
when they don't deserve it. He can
bear allusion to a religious or political
belief, which does not accord with his
own, without going into tantrums.
He can give advice, and keep his tem
per if it is not taken and followed.
He knows there are people in the world
beside himself. He believes that this
planet will continue to be run with a
moderate degree of success after he shall
sleep with his fathers.
He never tells what he would have
done "if he had only been there."
If he makes you a promise, you know
he will keep it, unless he dies before the
time for its redemption. If he states a
fact for a fact, vou know that you can
credit the statement. If he sells yon a
horse, and warrants him "sound," you
need not look for a spavin or a ringbone,
after the first day's hard driving.
His word is as good as his bond. He
is honest; you can trust him to do as he
agrees. You need not watch him, he
will do just as well without it, He has
respect unto himself and would be
ashamed to have his own soul convict
him of dishonesty.
if you are in trouble, you know you
can expect help from him. If you are
"down in the world," he will stand by
you. If other friends have forsaken you,
he will uphold and support you.
In society, the reliable man is worth
his weight in gold. In the church he is
invaluable; he will pass the contribution
box, when the wardens are laid np with
bad colds; he will take care of the min
ister's house when he goes away for a
day's pleasuring; he will help the ladies
put down the new vestry carpet, and he
ready to stir the oyster stew, or tend the
elevator from the kitchen, when the so
ciety have an "old folks' supper."
All the girls like him, and all the boys
respect him, and his wife is proud of
him, and lays great emphasis on what
my husband says for she Knows he is
reliable. And we devoutly wish there
were more like him. fKate Thorn, in N.
Y. Weekly.
Drt
Well Paid Preachers. This mention
of church matters reminds me of the
handsome addition lately made to Dr
Hall's salary. Next to Mr. Beecher,
Hall is tbe best paid preacher in America.
lie came to New York ten years ago
under contract to receive $10,000 ayear in
old. The amount is now increased to
115,000. But this is not all. Dr. Hall also
gets a fine house; rent free. This house
is worth at least $3,000 a year, so the Doc
tor's salary is really $18,000. Mr. Beecher
is paid 20,000, but gets nothing more. He
lives in his own house which carries a
pretty heavy mortgage, and pays all his
own expenses. Next to Dr. Hall, the best
paid pastor is Dr. Potter, of Cirace Church,
who receives a salary of $12,000 and a
house to live in besides. The house ad
joins the church and seems to be apartot
it, but is, in fact, entirely distinct. Dr.
Dix, of Trinity, who has lately received
so much troublesome attention by postal
card from "Gentleman Jo." is also paid a
salary of $12,000, but whether his housG
rent is paid in addition or not, I cannot
say. The pastor of St. Thomas' Church
receives $10,000, and there are few other
pastors, I belive, who get from $8,000 to
$10,000. But the minister who gets above
$5,000 is a lucky man. The number of
such ministers is small, and constitutes
scarcely a corporal's guard besides those
who are paid from $2,000 to $3,000. 1
could name half a dozen talented preach
ers whose combined salaries do not reach
the total including house rent, now paid
to Dr. Hall. IHartford Times.
Sponge Underclothing- A Berlin in
ventor has patented a new kind of cloth,
which consists principally or entirely of
sponge. The sponges are first thoroughly
beaten with a heavy hammer,, in order to
crush all the mineral and vegetable im
purities so that they can be easily washed
nut. They are then dried and pared, like
a potato, with a sharp knife, the parings
being sewed together. The fabric thus
obtained is free from all the danger which
sometimes arises from the absorption of
poisonous dyes into the system; it absorbs
without checking the perspiration, so as
to diminish the danger of taking cold: it is
a bad conductor, and, therefore, helps to
maintain a uniform surface temperature:
it can be more readily cleansed than the
ordinary woolen garments, and its flexi
bility diminishes the liability of chafiing.
Prince Bismarck's autographs are said
to be a bone of contention among col
lectors They are exceedingly rare and
are becoming rarer still, the Prince hav
ing of late put his signature to anything
but official documents almost as Seldom
as he has appeared in public. At one
time his autograph could be obtained by
sending him a birthday present; but
since a Berlin shopkeeper availed him
self of the occasion to express his most
distinguished consideration with a barrel
of beer, and exhibited the autograph
letter of thanks in his establishment,
even this method of collecting auto
graphs is in the Chancellor's case no
longer of service.
The largest crop of cane raised in the
West this spring appears to be hurri
cane. It raises and razes everything be
fore it in a rather hurried manner. Now
is the time to go West and be blown
away with the country.
"If you grasp a rattlesnake firmly
about the neck he cannot strike yon."
says a Western paper. To be perfectly
safe it will be well to let the hired man
do the grasping.
