MEG'S ADYICE.
It was tlie day after the party, and can
any day be any more utterly wretched? I
mean, of course, to the people who have
triven the party especially when, like
my uncle and aunt, they aro of quiet
going habits and moderate means, and
must let guests dance in the dining-room
and have sapper xn tlie Diggest Dea
Toom. It was the day after the party, and
flyerr individual in the house was misera-
ble. The days before the party had not
been remarkable for comfort, bnt they
at least had been tinged with the radi
ance of hope and bright anticipation,
while now nothing remained bat "dregs
and bitterness," and to clear away and
get the house into order again. This
would have seemed rather a dreary task
in any circumstances, I dare say; but it
was greatly aggravated by the fact that
we were all in very low spirits, or to put
it honestly, in dreadfully bad tempers,
having each and all a special grievance
of our own.
Mt uncle's household consisted of
himself and my annt, Mr. and Mrs
Gilbee. their two sons, Christopher and
Peter, their two daughters, Lottie and
Sophy, and myself, Meg Merton, the or
phan daughter of my aunt's only sister.
Mv mother had died when I was eight
years old, aDd my father, whose habits
were by no means of a domestic kind,
sent me to school, and allowed me to
spend all mv holidays at my aunt's: and
when he died and my school days were
over, my temporary home became a per
manent oue. This came to pass quite
naturally, and was taken as a matter of
course by my kind hearted cousins; and
Aunt Charlotte, who had never seemed
to suppose that she was conferring any
particular favor upon me by giving me
a happy home among them all. But I
appreciated it. and endeavored to prove
my gratitude in every way possible. I
was older than Lottie and Sophy and
left school before they did, and I became
very useful in the house. Aunt Char
lotte was of a nervous, timid nature, am'
as J happened to be self-possessed and
cool and decided Bhe soon came to rely
entirely on my judgment and energy,
and in a year or two I was housekeeper
in-chief, and my advice was asked and
pretty generally taken on matters both
small and gteat indeed, Meg s advice
became proverbial in the household,
Naturally I grew a little dictatorial, for
I often wondered what they could have
done without me. Chris was the only
one I could not manage.
"Bully the others as much as you
like," he would say, "but you shall never
bully me;" and somehow or other I never
felt laclined to try.
"Tiffs" occurred amongst us now and
then;. but, on the whole, we were a very
happy family until the . day after the
party, when, as I have said, 'we were
each and all miserable. My uncle was
confined to his room with a bilious attack,
where he lay groaning and anathema
tizing "that champagne." My1" aunt
looked very haggard when she first came
down in the morning, and said ner bead
ached badly; and her appearance did not
brighten as 6he and I investigated the
state of the crockery, et cietra.
"I shall never give a party again," she
said quietly, but it was the quietness of
.-? I : i l 1.
despair, iMine cuampagae glasses uruit
en. two sherries, and three of the best
china plates, and a great stain on the
drawing room carpet! We might have
been entertaining a set of barbarians!
Christopher and Peter, usually the
most affectionate 01 brothers, were now
not on speaking terms with each other,
as my aunt And I discovered at breakfast
time; and instead of going to business
together, Peter lingered until Cnris had
gone, and then started about five min-
-a mi .
utes afterwards, xne umrienuuness
arose, as I well knew, because of a
stylish, disagreeable London belle.whom
some friends of ours had brought with
them to the party, and who had flirted
desperately but with maddening im
partiality, with both my deluded cous
ins. Hence their coldness toward each
other this morning. As for Lottie and
Sophy I wished, before the day was out,
that they were not on speaking terms,
for they were nagging at each other all
the time, and finished just before dinner
with a downright spiteful quarrel; and
aunt Charlotte cried. Their grievance
was about two brothers, Tom and Harry
No will; for Lottie liked Harry best and
Sophy liked Tom; and with the usual
contrariness of mankind, Harry was des
perately in love with Sophy, and Tom
with Lottie; so it was usual, after every
merry-making we might have, for Lottie
and Sophy to fall out about them. I
felt vexed with everybody; but I think I
was quite justified in being so, for they
would all persist in believing or saying
that they believed that I was in love
with ridiculous John Howarth, just be
cause he happened to be in love with me
and toolc care that every one should
know he was, too! I did think some of
them at least might have had more sense.
And now this fine London belle had ap
peared on the scene oh, I felt tempted
to break another best china plate and all
the remaining sherry glasses as I
thought about it! And if aunt had only
known the state of mind I was in, she
would never have trusted me to wash
them up and put them away. Even our
Newfoundland dog seemed to share the
general dissatisfaction, and kept coming
from his kennel as far as his chain would
nermit, And uttering long and dismal
howls. The cook said that it was the
feign of a death; but the housemaid per
sisted that it foretold a wedding. I did
not feel as if I cared much which it was
or what happened only I think I felt
moreinclined for a funeral than a wed
ding, especially if the wedding entailed
a breakfast and another party.
My aunt and I hod been np as early as
usual this morning we had too much
to do to be able to lie in bed. Chris and
Peter of course. wanted their breakfast
at the usual hour, and their luncheons,
which they always took with them and
ate in a little back room at the office
put up; and then, when they had started
for business, we commenced our dismal
investigations through the house. We
always dined at six o'clock, and it was
nearly that hour before we had succeed
ed ia reducing the house to anything
ike order. Then Lottie and Sophy had
their quarrel, in the midst of which
Chris and Peter arrived, and we went to
dinner.
Chris folded his arms and put on a
dogged and determined look as he took
his place at the table.
"I breakfasted off cold fowl." he said.
gloomily "I lunched off cold fowl I
refuse to dine off it.
My aunt grew tearful again.
"This is not cold fowl," she answered,
'it is turkey, and you might eat it. Cold
beef will keep a day or two fowls and
urkeys, with sauce over them, will .not.
But" turning to me resignedly "ring
for the beef to be brought in, Meg; we
have had enough unpleasantness for one
day."
"How is it . there is a whole turkey
left?" inquired Chris, somewhat mollified
as the beef appeared.
"It was Megs fault," replied Aunt
Charlotte. "She put it on that dark
shelf behind the cellar door, and I found
it there this morning quite forgotten.
But I wonder, Meg, that you did not no
tice there were only two turkeys at sup
per; this would nave been eaten if it had
been there.
"I did not have any supper," I said.
for I thought there would not be room."
"That is merely an excuse, . nterposed
Lottie; "you were spooning with John
Howarth in tlie conservatory all supper
time."
I meant to look defiant, but I may have
looked guilty.
"Did he propose to you? asked tsopny,
starincr at me
"I will put a stop to tbis nonsense
about John Howarth, 1 said, determin
edly. "You 6hall all know exactly how
the case stands and then there will be no
excuse for any further display of stale
wit at our expense. As Sophy supposes.
Mr. Howarth did propose to me last
nicht."
'Oh, Chris, interrupted Lottie, "now
could you hit my cat in such a savage
way? Come bere lip poor pussy.
"You should teach your cat not to
stick his claws into one's legs at dinner
time, retorted Chris; "then he wouldn t
get hit.
"He was not touching youl returned
Lottie, warmly. "He was begging quite
inoffensively.
"He was sticking his claws into my
leg," reiterated Chris, with quiet and
aggravating obstinacy.
"Now don't you two begin quar
relling," said Sophy, impatiently, "but
let Meg tell us about John Howarth. 1
have often re ad about proposals in tales
but I have never heard of a real bona
tide one described. Do tell us every
word he said, Meg
"Did he go down upon his knees?"
asked Chris. "For if he did I wish I had
been there to see him."
"I shall not tell you whether he went
down on his knees or not, I answered.
calmly, "nor shall I tell you what he
said. "lint, 1 added, with sentimental
meditation, "he said some very nice
things indeed to me nicer you than
could put together, Chris, if you tried
for a bundled years.
"I can assure you I am not going to
try, even for a minute, answered Chris,
giving me a most savage look.
Mv aunt suddenly burst into tears
"This is the finishing blow," she said,
"Meg going to be married! I will
never give another party as long as I
live! It was against my better iudg
ment that I yielded this time. I did it
to please you all, and this is the result
fnrniture ruined, eatables wasted,
your father ill, you all quarrelling like
this, and Meg going to be marrie.1! No,
never another party in this house!
"What not even when Meg mar
ries Job. a Howarth? sneered Chris.
"No, not even then," replied aunt, re
doubling her sobs.
"Well, don't cry, auntie," I inter
posed, "for I am not going to marry
him. I gave him a very decided 'No. "
Chris here gave a quick, covert glance
in my direction; after which his assump
tion of perfect indifference seemed to me
a trifle overacted.
"Ob," laughed Lottie, that explains
why the poor fellow ate truffle instead of
fowl wita his boiled nam and never
found out the difference! I thought
what a curious taste he had.
But aunt refused to be pacified; bhe
had reached that state of mind when
troubles are positively preferred to bless
ings. "Saying 'No' to Mr. Howarth will not
buy a new drawing-room carpet," or eat
np all the tarts and custards and cakes.
I am sure," warming to her subject
"the waste has been shameful! When
the confectioner's man came this morn
ing, I had not a single cake or jelly or
blanc-mange to send back, for every one
had been broken into! And I saw you,
Chris, take just a spoonful out of that
expensive porcupine, when a plainer
cake already commenced was close by
you." .
"Oh, don't blame Chris for that,
auntie!" I exclaimed. "It was done for
Miss Jones, no doubt. If he had the
power Chris would cut off a bit of the
Koh-i Noor itself i. she asked him."
"I would," said Chris; "she is worth
a hundred Koh i Noors."
"Really!" observed Peter, aroused at
last from the gloomy lethargy that hsd
possessed him all dinner-time and ad
dressing Chris. "What a pity she does
not regard you in the same light! She
told me last night how she hated danc
ing with you, saying that you were so
clumsy you were constantly getting your
feet on her dress.
"Indeed!" retorted Chris, "she told me
the same thing about you."
"I don t believe it, said Peter.
"Another quarrel!" cried my aunt.
'Oh, dear, dear, what will be the end of i
it all?"
"The end of it all might be pleasant
enough," I replied with energy, "if only
every one of you would display a little
common-sense. 1 am out of patience
with you all!"
"Well, Meg," said Lottie calmly.
"you generally seem to think vourself
capable of setting the world to rights; so
can you set our little world straight? It
seems to me we are all miserable. What
can you suggest to make us happy?" )
Common-sense, 1 repeated only
common-senso. 1&&.Q my advice and
peace will be restored."
"Let us nave it then, said my aunt
querulously.
"On, let us nave 'JMeg s advice at
once!" sneered Chris again. "How is it
we have not thought of this panacea
earlier?"
"I will commence with mv uncle." I
began firmly. "Let him at least, make
him see the doctor to night and he will
be better before morning.
"That is good advice enough, said
aunt, "and I will tell him." ;
"As for you, aunt go to bed at once
and forget your worries. We will start
a subscription list for you, which I will
head with five shillings; and if tt e others
give with equal liberality, according to
their means, you will be able to replace
all the broken crockery and have the
white heaithrng cleaned also."
"That is good advice, too, and I will
do my part by going to bed immediate
ly," said aunt meekly, "i am mucn
obliged to you, Aieg.
i "As for you, reter, x oonuuueu
severely, "I think, instead of quarreling
with Chris about Miss Johnes, you had
better turn your attention nearer Home.
I knew poor little Kitty Keynolds would
cry her eyes out when she got home last
night, or ratner mis moruiiiK.
"You know more than x do men, re
turned Peter.
"Yes, I do; for I am in JUtty s con
fidence, and you are not; and I know
what Kitty said to me when bhe was go
ing home, and you do not. And my ad-
vice to you, 1'eter, ib, mano ii
Kitty and leave Miss Jones for those who
want her." . .
"Capital advice! But I never asked
you for it, you see; so I don't consider
myself bound to take it;" and he went
on eating tarts.
"And now. girls," I continued, look
ing at Lottie and Sophy, "make up your
minds to the inevitable, and change
lovers. They are twins, and so much
alike that you cannot always tell which
is which; and I think it must be merely
contrariness in you two to pretend you
like either one better than the other;
and" with iust a careless clance at
Chris "contrariness never pays in the
end. So take my advice, transfer your
affections quietly and say no more about
it.
Then I helped myself to some blanc
mange, and went on eating my dinner.
"But you have forgotten me." ob
served Chris; "prav have you no advice
for me?"
"I hesitated a moment, then looked at
him defiantly.
"Well," I said, "I think the advice
have given Peter might also apply to
you; instead of making yourself
ridiculous about Miss Jones, I think you
might nnd some one to admire nearer
home."
Then,, owing to Peter's delighted
"Bravo, Meg!" and Chris steady stare,
I had a sensation that 1 had never ex
perienced in all my self-possessed life
before I think it was embarrassment
and I rose hastily from the table and
left the room, presumably to see "why
that dog howled so." And Chris must
have left, curious on that point too, for
he also left the table and followed me to
Nero's, kennel.
When we came in acain l'eter was
standing in the hall with his top coat on,
brushing his hat very carefully.
"Why, Peter," I exclaimed, "where
are you going? I should have thought
you would have been more inclined for
bed than a walk. W here are you going?"
Peter looked at ns with a curious mix
ture of defiance and sheepishness in his
expression.
"I am going to see Frank Reynolds,
he said. "He told me last night that he
has a little terrier that he thinks I shall
like, and he said he would let me have
it cheap; so I am going to look at it
"But," remarked Chris pitilessly,
"you know that Frank has gone away
from home to-day, and won't be back
until Monday; and your journey will be
utterly fruitless, will it not, if you find
only Kitty in?"
"I shall see the terrier," muttered
Peter, putting on bis hat, "and shall
leave word whether 1 will have him or
not."
"Oh, I have no doubt it will be all
right," I remarked, with an innocent air.
Peter looked at me, and theu said:
"What was the matter with Nero?"
"Oh his chain I think his collar!
I stammered, taken abaokby the sud
denness of hii question, and ending by
an appealing glance at Chris
"Never mind, . never mind!" cried
Peter, waving his hands. "As you said,
Meg, I have no doubt it will be all right;
it s leap year, you know, and Chris has
only acted as any other man " Here
Peter darted through the hall door and
slammed it after him, otherwise the hat
brush would have struck him.
When Chris and I entered the dining-
room aunt was there.
"Your unole has just seen the doctor,
she said, smiling a little as she kissed me
before saying good night; "and if any
of the others have been as ready to act
upon your advice, you can let us know
in the morning. I think we are all
ready for bed to-night."
"I shall have to sit up for Peter,"
said Chris.
"One of the servants can do that,'
said aunt.
"No, they are all tired out," answered
Chris; "and I shall like to sit up, just
to see poor Peter's bewilderment when I
ask him what is the color of the terrier."
"Oh, he won't be bewildered at all!"
I put in. "He'll answer in all simpli
city, Plum colored' or 'Navy blue,' and
then woDder why you look surprised."
When aunt had retired, I noticed that
Lottie and Sophy were busy doing
something to their photograph "albums,
and, observing them quietly, I saw them
exchange two photographs. I said noth
ing; but when we all went upstairs to
gether, they were nreriier than usual
and quite friendly again.
Thus the day begun so dismally ended
right happily; and its results were hap
pier still for Peter and Kitty are mar
ried and happy now; Lottie and Sophy
are whispering together about a forth
coming "double wedding," and Chris
having also condescended to take "Msg's
advice" for once has a. wife who wor
ships the very ground he treads on and
he deserves it, too.
A Glimpse of St. Helena.
Oar first glimpse of St. Helena is emi
nently characteristic of a spot fraught
with so many somber memories. Even
ing is already beginning to fall when
through the mass, of leaden clouds that
darkens the whole northwestern sky
looms a black curving line like a pen
stroke painfully elaborated by some
child giant through a monstrous blot of
ink. Little by little the jagged outlines
of high rocky peaks begin to grow out
of the gloom, but so 6hadowy, and un
real do they look that one might take
them rather for the phantoms of a mi
rage than for a portion of the actual
world of men. As the sun sinks nearer
and nearer to the sea its rays strike full
upon the cloud of dimness that encircles
the island, working a strange and ghastly
transformation. Along the whole of its
lower edge the darkness instantly turns
to fire, and the vast black cliffd of ba
saltic reck stand like a fortress overhung
by the flamg-reddened smoke of battle.
All around is masses of shadowy figures,
bodied from the rolling clouds, seem
rushing on to chaage other masses which
are advancing against them. But not
the slightest'sound is to be heard, and
the effect of the great battle in dumb
show, full of furious life, yet silent as
the grave, iw indescribably weird and
unearthly. Suddenly the clouds , are
rent, and on the highest point of the
great cliff appears a colossal face of
fctone, the perfect likeness of the famous
emperor himself, turned upward 88 if
sleeping. Why does he lie so still with
these clouds of war rolling above him ?
He was not wont t: slumber when hosts
were meeting in battle. Bui victory
and defeat are all alike to him now; and I
he whose last thoughts were of war has
done with war forever:
a UttlA annt mfflixtth him whom not sufficed all;
The until ia now as great to him as once the great
was smau.
The nacre dome-like mass of "the
Barn," the wide sweep of Flagstaff bay,'
with its frowning precipices, the great
black pyramid of Sugar Loaf point slip
passed us one by one in the shadowy twi
light, and, just as utter darKness seis in,
we drop our anchor in the tiny hollow
of James bay, almost the only available
landing place on this iron bound shore.
Two dots of light far up the dark cliff,
and a third on the gloomy waters below,
are at first the sole tokens of man s pres
ence in this great fortress of nature. But
when the moon rises the whole colony
lie3 before us at once. Imagine a stream
of small houses trickling down a motm
tuin glen between two mighty precipices
and widening as it neara the sea, and you
have a fair idea ol Jamestown, with the
tall, narrow spire of its church standing
sentinel over the white walls and dark
clumps of foliage around, and the chaf
ing breakers encircling it with a ring of
glitttering foam. The hulls of several
small crafts and two or three larger ves
sels loom out black and stern upon the
moonlit waters, along the edge of which
a line of batteries stand looking watch
fully seaward. On one side of the town
the vast black cliff of Munden point,
crowned with a formidable earth-work,
rises starkly up in all its massive
strength a thousand feet into tho air. On
the other side, a zigzag road, protected
by a wall, wriggles its way up Ladder
hill for the benefit of those who object to
the peiilous ladder that runs up the face
of the cuff to the barrack, the lighted
windows of which glimmer faintly 600
feet overhead. Between these guardian
giants the main (that is, the only) street
of Jamestown merges itself in the nar
row road that winds away up into the
interior, through the finest scenery of the
island, along the great wall of volcanic
rock, culminating in Diana's peak, 2704
feet above the sea.
But the chief interest of the spot na
turally centers in a quiet little white
house of one story called Longwood,
lying in a hollow on the other side of
the island, where a boy nam?d William
Makepeace Thackeray saw a strange
sight on his way home from India some
G5 yeara ago. "The Hindu attendant
who was with me." said he. telling the
story years later, "took me ashore ut St
Helena, and led me a long walk among
hills and rocks, till at last we came to a
small garden in which we saw a man
walking. 'There he is,' said my Hindu
in a terrified whisper, 'that s Bonaparte.
He eats three sheep every day, and all
the little boys he can get hold of.
Wiser men than poor Tannajee held
equally strange notions in those days re
specting "the Corsican ogre." To those
who saw him for the first time at St
Helena, his appearance was probably as
great a surprise as it had been 17 years
before to Murad Bey, the warrior chief of
the Mamelukes. "That little fellow the
greatest soldier of Frangistan?" (Europe)
said the proud Mohammedan, when he
saw the man who had beaten him; "by
Allah, he does not even know how to sit
his horse!
It was fit indeed that one whose whole
life was so strangely set apart from his
fellow-men should be born in one island
and should die in another, although the
quiet old sea-side house still shown by
the people of Ajacpio as "la casa di
Napoleone harmonized as ill with such
a career us the prison-like simplicity of
Longwood. Cor. 2s. Y. Times.
An Archbishop'! Funeral Pomp.
The church of Rome delights in
august pageantry in the ceremonies of
great occasions, and the funeral of Arch
bishop Wood in Philadelphia to-day will
be remembered as the must pompous of
the obsequies in-the history of that city,
The body of the dead prelate was vester
day removed from his residence, where
it had lain since his death a week a?o to
morrow, and placed on a catafalque in
front of the altar of the cathedral, cov
ered with royal purple velvet, en
shrouded in the full vestments of his high
office, a white mitre upon the head and a
crucifix clasped in the hands. The sol
emn procession of chanting priests and
the stately ritual of the funeral services
of to day recall the pageantry of the in
terment of the remains of Archbishop
Hughes in the Fifth avenue cathedral
lost January, after his dust had remained
twenty years in the vaults of St. Pat
rick's.' The pompous ceremonies of the
church of Rome profoundly affect the im -agination
of its devotees, and the impos
ing services over the remains of a worthy
prelate will make a deep impression upon
a multitude. N. Y. Mail and Express.
