tliev had been favored with good sound

heart he welcomed them into the brother
hood of tho army. With Seuator Harri
son ho charged them not to gamble nor
drink, and said it is tho usual practice
in the army to abstain from these vices.
Ui said he was now t3 years of ago and
was sent from West Point 40 yeais ago,
and not having time to wait for his ii
iilonia it was sent after him. He held a
list of graduates iu his baud, and in

ginning of the present ceutury. The
first man came from S nth Carolina aud
another from Mas achusotts. He was

A Ti'bkisii UoMAXt'K. Tho death of
the Sultan's young sister r.wetitiy at
CiHistnntinoule has caused a ereat seusa-
tion, especially as it is believed that
the young Sultana died of a malady
which nrobablv oftoncr kills than coarse-
minded peoplo suppose. The Friucess
Kaibo is slid to havo fallen in love at
first sight with Kadyk Boy, a young Turk
shomet it sweet waters, the usual prom
enade of Ottoman ladies. Ou his side,
Sadyk fell also desperately in love with
tho 'Princess. Seven months ago the
Sultan gave lys sister in marriage to
Mehemed Bev, aud tho girl had not tho
courage to tell her brother how deeply
her affections wero engaged. Had she
done so, it might not have Wen a fatal
passion, for the Sultan loved his sister
tenderly, and Sadyk was a gentleman.
Wheu the despairing lover heard of tho
marriage ha resolved to eud his days,
lint before killing himself he wrote a
farwell to the Princess, who fell ill. and
id a few weeks died.
Tho cracking of glue, which frequent

TUE OLD BA OF 10 KIT.
"Only one more week, and then we
shall reach home," aaid Kitty Howell, ai
the threw herself down on a sofa in the
little tavern. .,.. , , ,
"Tired of travel, Kitty?" asked her
father.
"I am tired of railroad cars and hotels
at any rate." ... . .
' I was thinking of staying here a few
weeks."
"Here?" . ,
Kitty sat bolt upright in the excess of
her astonishment.
"Not in the tavern. You liko stories,
Kitty. Come here, and I will tell you
one."
Tossing aside her bonnet and sacque
Kitty complied with the request, and
while her father softly stroked her long
hair he said: , ,
"When I was in college, Kitty, I had
a room mat, to whom I was warmly at
tached. He was a shy, silent youngman,
very studious, rather good lookiug, and
with a love of quaint books and pur
suits. My dear, to make a long story
short, we both fell in love, and, unfortu
nately, with the sume woman. He wusso
quiet, so reHcrved, while I was so hot
headed that I never dreamed of his
passion till I told him I was an ac
eepUd lover, and then his secret came
out." , . ,
"It was painful to me to be the rival
of my warmest friend," continued Mr.
Howell, "but your mother loved me and
did not dream of vVul'er'a passion, and
he begged me to keep his secret. He
left college to return home and wa did
not meet again. When you were born he
wrote ma a congratulatory letter, and
two years later, when I lost your mother
be wrote again, but that was all. Being
very rich he has never had any business
or profession, but lives a bachelor in his
shy, quiet way. To-dav I met him; he
resides near here; and he begged me to
pass a few weeks with him."
"How old is he?"
"Let me see Walter was nearly two
years my junior: he must be about for
ty. How time flies! Well, Kitty, shall
we pay the visits?"
"1 supposo we muflt."
"How stupid!' soliloquized Kitty,
drumming impatiently at tho window
pauo. "An old man of forty in a coun
try town. It's October, too, and I
haven't ft thing fit to wear this
winter! I wonder how long papa will
stay. My first winter in society, and
aunty promised an unlimited amount of
parties."
Things looked brighter the next morn
ing, for tho drive to Mr. Soule's resi
dence was through a lovely part of the
country, and when they .stopped Kitty
could not repress un exclamation of de
light. The house, a largo, beautifully
built marble mansion, was nestled at the
end of an avenue of tall trees, and at the
buso of a wooded hill which rose behind
it. Ou the porch stood their host, still
a very handsomo raau.
"This is kind," ho said, grasping Mr.
Howell's hand, ' -and this " Hestopped
and looked at Kitty .saying softly; "Very
like, cry like. 1 am glad to see you,
my deur child."
Kitty , in all her life, hiut never nearu
a sweeter voice than the one that wel
comed her, and sho followed the maid
to her room thinking the visit might not
prove so great u bore, after all. Tho two
gentlomen stood on tho porch looking
after her.
Kitty! Yon call her (titer her, then?"
said Mr. Soule, in a low tono.
"Yes; sho is very like, is she not.'
"Exactly!"
"Just the ago 18 poor Kitty was
when we were married. e are old
boys now, Walter."
Kitty was soon homo at Clairmont.
Now, in her pretty habit and hat scour
ing ovor tho country on horseback, or
ridiug demurely behind her father
through the town; now knocking at the
library door, where Mr. Soule spent
most of the time, ami under pretense oi
fiudiug a book, winning her host from
his studies to explain to her the shells
tn the library table.
"Do I bother you very mueu uy coin
ing iu hero?" sho said oue day, looking
up from her low Beat to tno uanasomo
face bending over her.
"Dothorme? No, dear, l am giaa to
have yon."
"I liko to conio iu.it is so cosy and
homo-like; and do not be uugry I
thiuk that you stav here alone too much.
You aro so wise and good, why ilo you
shut yourself up uo ?"
He'mado no auswer.bnt his palo cheek
flushed aud hero the conversation stop
ped.
They had becu at Clairmont nearly six
weeks when this conversation took place,
and Kitty had been tho object of the
most tender caro during all tho time.
But the pleasant visit was destined to
como to a sudden end. That evening
her father told her that Mr. Soule hail
made her an offer for marriage.
"Why .he's old enough to be my grand
father f' cried Kitty.
"Not tiuito so bad as that, seciug that
ho is younger than I am. Aud he is
very wealthy."
"But you wouldn't havo mo marry for
money?'
"No, dear, but it's only right to tell
vou all the advantages. You havo been
inmnv here?"
"Yes. but I cau't marrr that old man
of forty. I'm sorry he unked me, for wo
must now go home.
"Of course."
That niirht Kitty went UP stairs, feel
inn as if she would like to cry. Still
she rather prided horself upon rejecting
the rich owner of Clairmont. Like oth
er girls of her age, sho had her dreams
of trno love, with a hero young and
handsome, and perhaps poor, let Kit
ty, in upito of all this, cried herself to
sleep.
The parting next day was brief. But
as Kitty stood on the steps, waiting for
the trunks to be brought down, a hand
fell gently on her shoulder, and Mr.
Soule said kindly: "I'm orry I pained
you; but remember, if you ever want a
friend, call on me."
Kitty burst into t?ars for reply and
ran down the stops.
In the whirl and tumult of the gay
winter Kitty looked in vain for her beau
ideal. Of' beaux there were plenty, for
Mr. Howell was wealthy, and Kitty his
only child; bnt no ono was exactly what
she wanted. She found herself contrast
ing Mr. Soule with others; she missed
his voice, his gentle, kind watchfulness,
and she wondered if next summer hee
father would go to ClairmounL
Early ia the spring an nncle died,
leaving Kitty a large fortune. Yet rest-
less, and at times sou, n.iuy wciuou w
have left her girlhood behind her at
Clairmont.
"Deaf, doar! This is bad! 'said Mr.
Howell, laying aside a letter one day at
breakfast.
What, father?"
"A cousin of Wulter' has come home
from India, and claims the property at
Clairmont. Walter's uncle was a bach
elor, at least they all thought so, and
Walter succeeded aa next of kin; but
here's a private marriago proved, and
this cousin is the only child. Walter
says that as tho claim is just he will
not go to law.but give up the property."
"What, the house and all? Oh, father!
How can be live away from all that he
loves?"
"He writes to me to know if I can get
him anything to do."
"He, so shy, so refinod, so oh,
father!" and Kitty burst into a flood of
tears and ran away.
Mr. Houle had left Clairmont to como
to New York, had gone to an obsenre
hotel, aud from there had written his
noto to Mr. Howell. He was sitting,
silently waiting, when there came a
knock at the door, und Mr. Howell en
tered, and with him Kitty. Before ho
could Bjeak Kitty was l-wide him, and
had grasped bis hand in both of hers,
laughing and crying all at once.
"You will come home with us for
give me I didn't know I loved you I
will try to be a good wife, indeed I will
and you must help me if I do wrong.
We will be so happy!" and here she
broke down in sobs.
"My-wife you Kittv ?" was all
the bewildered man could say.
- Mr. Howell persuaded the new heir
to sell Clairmont, and invested part of
Kitty's money ia the purchase; and it
would be hard to ssy which was the hap
pier in their beautiful house, the "old
man of forty" or his little wife.
Duty of Rest.
There is a false idea prevulent about
resting enough in tho few weeks of the
summer to lost the year. However full
of delight and peace the lazy hours in
the country, however freighted with
rest and strength the long days by the
sea, we cannot, hoard and carry away
enough of tho precious store. Every
twenty-four hours is a circle of its own
in which to tear down and build up,
and whatever is spent betwocn one sun
down and another must lie made good
from food, recreation aud rest, and who
ever commences the morning already
tired is spending too much Bomewhere,
and will find that a system of paying
nature's past debts by drawing on tho
future will make him bankrupt, liut
we do not need to wait till in the full
ness of time we can join the throng nt
watering places. To any ono, unless
shut up between four 'brick walls, if
there belong a green spot somewhere
round the bouse, if he can sit under
one vine and fig tree of his own. there is
at baud a perennial spring, if he but
knows how to drink of it. Perhaps you
say "I cannot stop to rest; I havo no
time; I will by and by, but now i must
do my work." Ah! but are you sure cf
vour by and bv? the one this side of
eternity I mean! Are you not doing the
very thing now that may loose it lor you
or if eutered upon, will it not, instead
of being spent in rest, as you fondly
hoped, be spent rather iu vain regrets for
tho strength so unwisely and hopelessly
lost? Moreover, what is this work you
must be constantly doing? If to do good
be your ruliug motive, have you not
learned that it is what you are as well
as what youtlo that blesses the world?
and though tho toil of your hands is
worth much, a beautiful spirit of good
cheer surrounding you is worth more, aud
you aro not becoming the best you
might bo if you have no timo to enter
tain this spirit of rest and strength
which cannot livo with weariness.
JljMrrloiii Stranger.
"Hi, Jimmy, dere's one o' dom fellers."
Tho two nowsboys clutched their pa
pers closer as a tall, gaunt individual
in an ulster that was included in his
ticket cumo rangiug along Montgomery
street, his eyes sharply taking m tho
whole thoroughfare. As his eye rested
on tho boys they timidly drew into tho
shadow, and a hsckman on the corner
who had never seen them "fazed" be
fore, looked on and wondered. Tho
man squared up in front of them, pre
venting their escape. Then he said in a
dry, buked-beans voice, intended to be
winning:
"What paper is that, sonny ?"
"Igsamiuer," said tho boy, with a
fourth-net frown.
"How much do you charge for them ?"
"Fi' cents."
"Toil look like a good, honest little
boy. Lem'me see oue if it's this morn
ing's ?"
"Naw, yerdont" (frowning deeper.)
"Just leui' me look at it a second. I
only want to see theoverlund passengers.
Come, I'll give you this." and ho drew
an orange (included in the ticket) from
his overcoat.
"T. T. I ct ten orringes fur break
tust." "There's one of them that's dirty. You
couldn't sell that 'or full price, could
ye?"
"Dere's o'ny one price iu dis shop,
dirty or no dirty."
The stranger, with knit brows, drew an
iron pnrso from his pocket, aud raising
its portcullis, fished for a moment in tho
donjon keep and drow forth a coiu. It
hod been a five cent pieco, but there was
a wild, despairing look on the Goddess
cf LiiH'rty's face, aud sho had been
nqueezed down iulo tho surface of the
coin. A faint cry came from her as the
man held her a momeot. Xben he passed
the coin to the boy, who, awe-struck and
wondering, looked it carefully over with
out finding it counterfeit or perforated.
The stranger took the best paper in the
lot and then walked away. The boy
stared at him, still dumbfounded. Theu
he ssid, in solemn italics:
"Oh, Jim; I did sell one o' dem fellers
a paper."
"Who is he?"
"A Boston towerist."
The Louisville Courier-Journal naja
that one of the great mysteries of these
modern day is why tea. store always
finds it .ecesssry to bloom out extremely
in red paint and" gorgeous ga fixtures,
like a flub butcher shop. Perhaps it is
to induce people suffering from pinkeve
to come in and get L-iown up mith gunpowder.
