"Are there any more of those silly
etterst"
"When her father asked this question
in an awful tone, Luciila Richmond
oould not say "no," and dared not say
"yes," so as an intermediate course, she
burst into a storm of tears behind her
handkerchiefl
"Bring them to me, Luciila, said her
father, as if she Cad answered bins, as
indeed she had, and tho girl, trembling
and weeping, rose to obey.
Then Mrs. Richmond, her daughter's
very self grown older, came behind her
husband's chair and patted him on the
shoulder.
"Please don't bo harsh with her, my
dear," she -said, coaxingly. "He's a
nice young man, and it's our fault, after
all, as much as her's, and you won't
break her heart, I'm sure."
"Perhaps you approve of the whole
affair, ma'am," said Air. Richmond.
"I-no-that is, I only" gasjxhl the
little woman; and hearing Luciila com
ing, she sank into a chair, blaming her
self for not having watched more closely
her daughter's associates during the
year.
For all this disturbance
grew out of a
poor but reputable clerlr, a young man
who had occasionally been thrown into
the society of Miss Luciila for twelve
months or mn, and had taken the lib
erty to fall in love with her, knowing
that she was the daughter of one of the
richest merchants in the citv.
"It was inexcusable in a poor clerk,
who should have known his place, Jlr.
Richmond declared, and he clutched the
little perfumed billet, that had fallen in
Lis hand, as he might a scorpion, and
waited for the others with, look on his
face that told of no softening. They at
last came just six Tittle dainty white
envelopes, tied together with a blue rib
bon, and were laid at his tlbow by his
departing daughter. He gathered them
up with a frown.
"Lock all these up until I return
home this evening," he said to his wife;
I will read- them. Meanwhile Luciila is
not to see this clerk upon any pretence.
And then Luciila went down, upon
her knees.
"Oh ! dear papa," she cried, "darling
papa, please don't sav I am never to see
him again. 1 couidn t Dear it, inaeeu,
I cnld not bear it. He is poor, I
but he is a gentleman, and I
love him so much, father.
"Xo more of that absurdity, my dear,"
said Mr. Richmond, rising as he spoke.
"He has been artful enough to make you
believe he is oerfection, I suppose.
"Your parents know what is best for
your happiness."
With these words Mr. Richmond put
on
his hat and overcoat, and took his
way towards those mysterious precincts,
known tmlv as "the atv.
Then Luciila and her mother took the
ODnortnnitvcf fallinr into each other's
V a- w
arms.
"It's so naughty of you." said Mrs.
Richmond, "but oh, dear, I can't blame
you, it was just so with me, I ran away
with your father, you enow, and mv pa
rents objected because of his poverty. I
feel the greatest sympathy for you, and
Frederick has such fine eves, and is
so verv nice. I wish I could soften your
papa."'
She coaxed Luciila to stop crying and
then went up to her room to put the let
ters in her de-sk, and as she placed them
in one pretty pigeon bole, sue saw in
another a bundle tied jnst as these were
and drew them ouL
These were letters to Ludlla also, one
who had received them twenty yeara be
fore: and she, now a matron old enough
to have a daughter who had her troubles
unfolded them one by one, wondering
how it came to pass that lover's letters
were so much alike.
Just half a dozen; just the same num
ber and -much more desperate than the
ones the voung clerk had written to her
daughter.
strange
idea came into
itrs. Eichmond's mind. She dared not
oppose her husband; by no word or look
had -she even attempted -such a tiling.
But she was very fond of her daughter.
When she left her desk she looked guilty
and "frightened, and something rustled
in her pocket as she moved. She said
nothins to any one on the subject until
dinner time come, and with it her hus
band, angrier and more determined than
ever. The meal was passed in silence.
Then, having adjourned to the 'parlor
much as an executioner and two -culprits
might have proceeded- to the callows.
Mr. Richmond seated himself in a great
arm chair, and demanded all the letter a
Mrs, Richmond put her hand-in to her
pocket, and pulled it back with a fright
ened look.
Mr. Richmond repeated still more
sternly: "Those absurd letters if you
please, ma'am."
And then the little woman faltered
out: "I that is I believe, yea, I have
them," and she gave him a white bundle
of envelopes, encircled with a blue rib
bon, with a hand that -trembled like an
aspen leaf.
And Mr. Richmond dropped the first
letter, and tnen toot tap a&ottier.

"I don't remember Fred's writing any

JLucilla. "He never knew you would

As.-for Luciila, she began to weep as
if the'end of "all things had come at last,
and to feel quite sure that if papa proved
himself cruel she should die.
"Six letters six shameful letters of
deception, Luciila," said tho indignant
parent "I am shocked that a child of
mine should practice such duplicity.

Napoleon ra Sunday Laws.
In the vearl S07 an attempt was made
to get the Imperial government to insist
upon an observance of Sunday, and this
called forth the following reply lrom
.Napoleon I. He Raid- "It is contrary
to Divine law to hinder a man, who has
wants on Sunday as well as on other
days, to work on Sunday in order to
gain his bread. The government should not
impose snch a law without giving bread
gratis to those who have none. i sides,
it is not the failing of people in France
to work too much. c
Lave seen the public fotee employed in
constraining persons to celebrate the
tenth day and to work on Sunday
(during the revolution, when weeks were
abolished), and we should guard against
the necessity of employing gensdarmea
to hinder men wro stand in need of
what they earn from working on
Sunday. In both cases there is either
political or religious superstition. God
has made work a necessity, and he
wishes men to work every day, because
he has given them wants which are re
newed every dav. e must distinguish
in what is prescribed by the clergy be
tween the really religious laws and those
obhgations which
have been invented
with the view of extending the authority
of the ministers of religion.
The observance of fasting upon Friday
are secondary and very insignificant
rules. What touches essentially the
commands of the Church is not to in
terfere with social order, not to do ill to
one's neighbor, not to make an abuse of
liberty. You must not reason with, but
laugh at priests who demand such regu
lations. 1 do sot oblige them to give
absolution against their will, and I shall
not permit them to force me to throw
the peasant who worts, on no matter
what day, into prison. Since my an
thority is invoked in this matter, I give
to ray people, and forever, tho right of
not interrupting their work. The more
they work the less vice there will be.
It I mnst take part in this afkir, I
should prefer to order that on Sunday
directly after mass all the shops be
opened and the people return to their
work. Since people eat
every day, let them work every day.
The compulsory powers of
the church lie in exborations from the
pulpit, and the police and prisons should
never be used as a means to enforce the
practices of religion."
The Prince of Wales a Beggar.
The Prince of Wales is said to have
some skill in tho theatrical art of "mak
ing up," which he acquired from the late
Mr. Fcchter. One day the Prince sud
denly presented himself before his
mother attired as a beggar, his dress
tattered, his face dirty, and his hair or
rather wig in appropriate disorder.
Tho Queen, not doubting that by some
means a genuine beggar had got into the
palace, flew in creat alarm to a bell, but
before' tho attendants could reach tho
room her Bon had thrown off his disguise.
He was exceedingly proud of the fact

Ex.
Mr., Mrs. and Miss.
I am asked when it becamo the cus
tom to call married women "ilissii" in
stead of "Mistresj." 1 believo that it
would bo difficult to fix upon a time
when this deplorable change in pronun
ciation tool; place, and indeed, I am
very sure that the clipped and degraded
forui of mistress made its way slowly
among tho folk who were tarn to eak
rjigiiaii, anu uiu not prevail until some
generations had taxsed away after it
came into a certain vogue. In fact,
mistress is not alno.utcly driven from
the field, for there are ieoile loth in
England and America who disclaim
mis&iz, and cling to tho old, full-sounding,
dignified mistress. But although
the question iiroiounded to me cannot
be exactly answered, it gives uu a good
occasion to glance at tho history of our
most commonly used titled of rwject.
Mister is, liko rnisMZ, a degraded form

of the Latin manster, both words Itav-

ever, is not directly derived from in agis

those centuries which we call the Dark
Ages, dropped the g and became mautcr,

A capital example of those numerous
industrial revolutions of which we have
spoken, and which are peculiarly charac

new article celluloid. Although it was

brothers named Hyatt), its perfect man
ufacture has been regularly in progress
for only about five years, and is consid
ered to be still in its infancy ; yet ira
sienic quantities of the substance are
pmduced ; it is converted into a wonder

applyisg it are discovered almost daily.

Wasteful Economy.
The parsimony of Congross in refus
ing to provide for necessary expendi
tures under the several departments of
the Government, has hatched out a
brood of evil which have played mis
chief with the country at various points
all Summer. The latest specimen is the
Ute Indian war. Congress failed to ap
propriate $75,000 due the Utea, and'the
latter were made discontented and final
ly mutinous, through their failure to re
ceive what had been promised them.
The consequence is an Indian war which
will cost the country hundreds of thous
ands of dollars before it is ended, to say
nothing of valuable lives. This is the
sort of economy many demagogues are
continually advocating. It enables
their party to show a fair record in the
next political campaign, and that is all
they care for. T e havo no doubt mil
lions have been squandered by the ras
cally agents tho Government has appoint
ed to have dealings with tho Indians,
but that is no excase fcr withholding
funds from ageBcies which have a just
claim, according to the accepted policy,
upon the natiesal treasury. "Meeker
was an upright agent," says a dispatch,
"but waa handicapped by tho failure of
Congress to appropriate $75,000 due
these Indians.
