HALF FORQOTTFX. In my youth I onco went boat ins With a maiden in a yacht, Oft past Newport went we floating On each ther spooning, dotting; Watching sunsets, quoting verses On the starlit summer sea, Where the west wind still rehearses To the wayes its joetree; Poet try. Try to tell me if I love 1 her; Did she love me! And the maiden If I loved her why? Oh, her smile, her eyes, her tresfes, Floating in the wooing air! Where's the word Jiat full expresses Half the witchery ol her dresses, What she was and what she wasn't? Girl? no; saint? uo; sinner? She? Angel cover it? It doesn't; Nor can an t poesee, Foet, sigh. Cipher out the mystic problem; I can't even try. But her name, I think, was Alice; FVaps 'twas Ethel, Maude, or Jane. 'Twasn't Beckv! that's sheer malice, Cynic-poured in Memory's chalice, From some Rabelaisian grinning At myself I've done since then. Battered round the world and sinning, As 1 hope to sin again. Sin a gain? O; confound this moral echo, Folly fain ! Ye?, I think I once went sailing With a trl some years ago, Making love till stars were paling. Mow, with feet upon the railing Sit I, comfortably smoking, Trying to recall her limine. Did. we iove, or were we joking? As the comet all aflame! AH a flame? Light as timber, out as quickly, All tnesamc. THE LEAF OF GKKAMTM. It is very strange, when we come to to think about it, on what small cogs and pivots the wheels of fate run, and what a slight jar will do toward changing the whole machinery and set it to running in an entirely different direction. It was a geranium leaf that altered the whole course of my life. But for the trivial leaf picked up by a young girl in a thoughtless mood I should not have been sitting hero to-day"ln this pleasant din ing room, where the sun comes in through the vine-wreathed windows and falls upon the geranium-pots inside; and this little girl would not be upon my knee, nor yonder red-cheecked maiden upon the veranda with young Smithers; and neither would that very handsome matron who just passed into the parlor have been in her present situation. If you will listen an hour or so I will tell you my story. It was just twenty years ago this summer that I married Carrie Dean. She was 21 and I was 27 both old enough to know what we were about at least I was, but Carrie was such a coquette that I used to think she bad no mind of her own. Oh, but she was lovely! All rose-colored and white and brown tressed, and pearly teeth, with the roundest, plump est ligure, and as graceful as a fairy in every movement, and with beautiful shapely hands that were a constant de light to the eyes. I was just home from college end she was on a visit to my stepmother, her annt and mv half sister Lilla, and her cousin. - - Iliad seen a good many girls in my seven years at college, and some of the belles of the land; but I had never ye nau my neart stirreu oy any woman s eyes as Carrie Dean's stirred it when my eyes met hers in greeting; and the touch of her soft fingers completely set me afloat oh the sea of love. I was her slave from that hour no her slave, either, but her passionate lover and worshipper. And of course she knew it, and of course, being a! finished coquette, she queened it over me right royally. . There was Fred Town, the country physician, and Tom Delano, the band some young farmer, both as badly off as I was; and a pretty time we had of it. Fred and I old chums in former days were at swords points now, and hated each other splendidly for a few weeks, and Tom I held in the utmost contempt, and railed at them both whenever oppor tunity presented itself, for Carrie's edifi cation, after the manner of men, and was repaid by seeing her bestow her sweetest smiles and glances upon them the next time they met. Fred drove a splendid span of bays, and almest every day tjiey dashed up the avenue, and dashed out again with Miss Carrie's added "weight. And Tom was on hand nearly every evening, and she was just as sweet to one as the other, and inst the same to me; and that was what maddened me. I was not to be satisfied by a "widow's third" by any means, and I told her so at last, and asked her how the matter was to be settled. "I love you letter than those brainless fops know how to love," I said, hotly; and now decide between us. ; She had listened to guy iove confession with blushing cheeks and downcast eyes; but when I said this she turned defiantly on me. They are no more fops than you are, she said, "even if they have not spent Reven years in college. They are gentle men, and 1 can t say that for every man of my acquaintance." And here she shut the door between us with a slam and left mo to my pleas ant meditation, and half an hour later I met her at the gate with Fred, going out for a ride, which was very aggravating, I must confess. I thought over my conduct that night, and concluded that I had been a brute. The next morning I found Carrie at the dining-room window alone, and sought her side. She had her hand among the leaves of a sweet-scented geraninm, and just as I approached she plucked a leaf and twined it among her braids. ' I re member how bright and green it looked ahiong the dark locks. "Carrie "I began, "I fear I was verv rude yesterday. "I know you were," she said, looking indifferently out of the wii How. This was a bad beginnin "But, Carrie, I love yon so, and when 1 see you with that Fred Bat here Miss Carrie turned on her heel. "I am not going to listen to you while you lander my friendp," she said. "When you can speak respectfully of Mr. Town I will returi," and hero she left me again. ) I left tKo house then, and "did not re turn till Afternoon. As I came up the pain, x mei rom Delano. Poor fellow. he looked like the last rose of summer after a rain. "Goo-bye," he said gloomily, "I am going away.- She has sent me away and I can't stay about the place. I hope you are the happy one Ii do, honestly, Al. She said her heart was given to another, and it's either you or Fred. I hope it is yon, and God bless you!" Here Tom dashed away and left me staring after him in amazement. "Given her heart to another V I re peated, with a pain in my chest some where "Well, it is evident that I'm not the other, and that Fred is. Poor Tom poor me! The best thing I can do is to follow suit and leave, too. I can never see her the wife of another, and the sooner I'm off the better." So I went moodily up to my room and packed a satchel and got all things in readiness for a speedy departure. On my way; up I met Carrie just emerging from her room, arrayed in her jaunty riding habit, and I could hear Fred's deep tones shouting "Whoa!" down in the yard below. I watched her trip down the stairs and out of sight, thinking it was the last time I should see her for years, perhaps forever. When I had strapped the last buckle on my satchel and all was in readiness, I went to say good-bye to my father, mother and Lilla. .Lilla was not indoors and my parents looked at me in amaze ment. "But, Allen, my son," pleaded father, "I had thought you would enter into business with me. There is a grand opening for you, and I have held the position in reserve." "I thank you for all that, but I want to travel a year or two before going into business," was all that I could answer, and my father gavo me up in despair. Lilla was still absent; but it was quite dark, and the train would leave in half an hour, so I left a "good-by" for her and passed out into the hall. It was a long, narrow hall, reachiug the whole length of the house, and with several rooms opening into it; but as yet it was unlighted and as dark as Egypt. About half-way throngh it I heard tho street door openand shut, and a mo ment later ran full against some one en tering. It is Lilla, I thought, and reaching out my arms caught her between them. "Is it you, Lilla?" I said. But she did not answer, only twined her arms about my neck. "Why, little sister," I said softly, "do you love me so much?" -r- t ii -l ror i-iina was not demonstrative as a usual thing, and I was surprisod at her movement. "Oh, better than all tho world beside, Allen," she said in a whisper. And then, as I lilted the face to my lips, the sweet odor of geranium per fumed the air, and my heart gavo a great leap. It was Carrie, not Lilla, that I held in my arms. She was trying to disengage herself now, but I saddenly caught her light form in my two stout arms, and, open ing the library door, I carried her into the brilliantly-lighted room. Her face was hot with blushes now, and her eyes full of tears. 'Yon aro too bad.'! she sobbed, "and I hate you." But just then she noticed my traveling attire a"nd paused abruptly. "Why, where are you going?" she asked, with interest.! "I was going away, never to return," I answered; "but since vou said what you did in the hall II have changed my mind. Carrie pouted. "I was only speaking for Lilla." "Then I shall go, shall I, aud leave you to marry Fred?"' "I detest Fred," she cried. " And l you love me better than all the world?" . I "Yes." So the flirt was conquered at last, and I was the victor. j "But how did you know it was not Lilla?" she asked as we sat together. "By the geranium) leaf I saw you put iu your hair this morning. "And but for that you would have gone away and not como back for years?" ( "Yes; perhaps never come back, but for that tell-tale leaf. J" "Then we will keep this leaf always," she said, taking it from her hair. - And so we have.' I procured a little golden box, and there it is to-day one of our dearest treasures. Of course I married Carrie, and of conrse that blooming matron is she. Tom Delano did not die of a broken heart, but married a lovely girl out West a few months after) his departure; and Fred Town is our family physician, and has a pretty wife of his own. Girls in White Gowns. A debutante always wears white, and there is a fashion now of making the dresses for the first season with' the ut most simplicity, so that they look as much like the robes for the confirmation as for tho entrance into the gay world. India muslin this iyoar has been the favorite fabric, and its ornamentation is confined to the silken belt or sash, lace, and the mass of roses at the waist. Very little jewelry is worn. sometimes none at all and the high lights, if any, come from tho ) eyes, the hair, the cheeks, and the red, red lips of tho bright young face. In such sweet simplicity of .dress the "chromo" girls, as they are called, have decidedly the best of it. The blue eyes, tho golden hdir and the natural red which might become florid under harsher circum stances, have'it all their own way. It is only when cost ume is suitably adapted to individuality that the type appears to the best advantage. ) Where there are older sisters who are already experienced from having had the -i . r ' i .. mivuuiairt oi several euu mumug, tney assist in Uoing tnejnonors, dui ii is not etiquette Tor them to- wear white. They may wear pink or blue, or pale green, or a colored satin coat with a white skirt, but they must not wear all white. Indeed, all iwhite, unless it is very rich, has aisignificance which limits its f unctions. It may be worn as a morn ing dress at home, biit abroad it denotes a bride, a debutante lor a candidate for confirmation. Very rich and very origi nal wbito dresses are, of course, an ex ception to this rule. f Corr. Washing ton Star. Ehavln? the Beard The more I reflect upon the mysteries of neurology and animal chemistry, the more confident I am that, while we are the least suspecting it, trifling errors in our daily life are producing important effects upon our corporeal systems; and I declare it as my deliberate conviction that the habit, which may almost be styled American, of using the razor upon the face, is sufficient to cause a large pro portion of the lamentable evils which affect the human race in this country. It appears by experiment that the beard "if shaved, grows four or five times faster than if unshorn. In this calcula tion an item is omitted which it is diffi cult to estimate, i e,, the stimulus given the beard by the first application of the razor in adolescence, the experiments being made upon beards after they have acquired an unnaturally rapid growth. The effect of this stimulus may be fairly counted at double the natural growth; then reckoning the difference in size and weight of tho fiber, which is treble, and we find tho frightful tsuth to bo that we raise thirty times the natural quantity of beard. Thus, it is evident that the true beard is exhausted at a very early age, after which the system is forced to supply a substitute. Now, nature will not sub mit with impunity the extraordinary de mand upon her vigor, and that which re quires her to produce in a lifetime thirty times as much beard as she was first in clined to. must certainly be considered as such. She is fatigued in proportion to the effort, let tho particular kind be what it mav. Although her recuperative powers aro great.she insists upon having repose, even when working at a rate chosen bv herself. If that repose is de nied her. she takes revenge by breaking down the mechanism. Cold Iron. "An Experienced Horseman" in the Kentucky Live Stock Record, reminds those who have the handling of horses of the cruelty of which they may be care lessly guilty: "Let any one who has the caro of a horse these cold, frosty mornings, delib erately grasp iu his hand a piece of iron; indeed, let him touch it to tho tip of his tongue, and then let him thrust the bit into the mouth of his horse if lie has the heart to do it. The horse is an animal of nervous organization. His month is formed of delicate glands and tissues. The temperature of the blood is the name as in the human being, and, as in man, the mouth is the warmest part of the body. Imagine, wo repeat, the irritation that would be to the human, and, if not the same degree, still the suffering to the an imal is very great. And it is not a mo mentary pain, rood is eaten with diffi culty, and the irritation repeated day after day, causes loss of appetite and strength. Many a horse has become worthless from no other cause than this. Before India rubber bits woro to be had I myself used a bit cover6d with leather,- and on no account would have dispensed with it in freezmg weather.
