Dr. Gflrshaift threw himself wearily
into the great arm-chair in Mrs. Hyde a
ct zy sitting room. He had just returned
from a professional visit, and a long ride
in the cold and . wind had given him a
wvere headache. The doctor was Mrs.
Hyde's boarder, but he had been so long
in the family that he seemed like one of

by the window, busy with some needle

Queenie was wayward, willful and be
witching, and ruled right royally in the
little village of "Wayland. Her cousins,
Tom and Johnny Hyde, were her de
voted slaves, and she alternately petted

not quite safe from her wild pranks. But

ble fibs when questioned closely.
Dr. Gorsham had grown wise through
experience, and generally accepted these
little favors with a smile and 'but few
words.
On the afternoon of the opening of my
story, as the stalwart figure in the arm-
chair gave a long sigh of weariness and
' pain, Qneenie threw her work aside and
ran from the room. She returned pres
ently wiin an armiui 01 cusnions, which
he arranged invitingly on the louncre.
and wheeling it closer to him, motioned
the doctor to the impromptu conch.
He smiled and obeyed her gesture,
catching her hands' as he sank back on
the pillows.
" Why did yon do this. Queenie ?
She laughed archly, trying to release
heraeii,
: "I don, know I guess because I love
you." . .v; ' -
. "Do you-mo you?" he asked, his
face flashing eagerly.
"I don't know. Do you love me ? "
" Ah I huve you need to ask me that,

to his. but she slipped from his grasp.
"" I shall not kiss you, becausehe man
whom I kiss of my own free will will be
my .future husband! "'(.and away she
danced, saltting Tom in the hall with a
merry pint. , .
Dr- Gershain sighed, 's . ' .
She is only a child, he said; "a
bright, beautiful, happy child. I will
be thirty-two years old to-morrow too
old and steady for a little humming-bird
like tjneeme. v:Kc' p
Several evenings later, Queene entered
the library where the doctor sat reading
i his journal. .
" Doctor "see if. I don't look nice,
e ' Oh :'jother me! " he answered,
eurylng himself still deeper in
.. journal.
" iiumph! C'ross thing! 1 am going
with Charlie Till skating on the creek.
There is sure to be a crowd, and I want
to know if I look nice.
He tmt his paper aside and looked at
her. It was imwssible to help admir
ing Queenie at any time, and in her
jaunty skating costume, she was more
- bewitching than ever. But the doctor
only said, as he struggled with the pas
sionate love in his heart, "Yon are a
vain little thing you look well enough
Queenie shook her skates together
with a musical clash, tried to frown on
him, and laughed instead, then asked
with mock gravity:
"Do you love me as well as yon did
last Tuesday?" ; r
1 "Yes." - I;-'
Queenie hesitated a moment, swayed
toward him, a roguish dimple coming at
one corner of her mouth; then her warm
breath swept his face, as with a sudden
movement she turned and left the prints
of her wicked white teeth on his cheek!
The next instant she had flown, while
her tantalizing laugh floated back to the
solitary man in the library, Dr. uer-
sham was a great lover of music; and a
handmme organ, his property, occupied
one corner of the parlor,
One afternoon, in the early spring, the
doctor was singing, and accompany him
self on the organ. He had thought him
self the sole occupant of the room, and
drifted, presently, into grand old hymns.
solemn chants arid weird dirges. The

Dr. Gersham might well be proud of his
- voice. He paused to look at some music
in the rack, and there was a moment's
silence, broken suddenly by a low sob
The doctor turned and saw Queenie
curled up in the recess of a window
Never .before, during all his acquaint
ance with her, had he seen the child in
tears. He crossed the rooaskand took
her in his arms.
"Why. little Queenie! -What is it
dear?" . .
Ah. nanchtr Queenie! Why did yon
x- not tell him how his music had stwrcd
your willful heart ? But no; she gasped
and buried her face in her white apron
- as she answered:
" Why. you see. Tom has gone off

The doctor laughed.

For a moment he strained her close in
his arms; and then putting her away
from him. he went straight to his room,
Thu the days went on. Sometimes
Dr. Gersham half hoped that Queenie
was learning to love him. But no
sooner did ' he endeavor to win one
serious word from her than she was off,
with her head full of some new mischief,
Mrs. Hyde looked on, not daring to
interfere, for she' sympathized with the
. doctor, and knew, in the depths of her
womanly heart, that Bhe was just the one
. a guide and protect her wild little niece.
, lint she was also aware that if Queenie

One morning in the early part of J une.
while Queenie was-dnsting and arranging
the parlor, Mrs. Hyde looked in at the
aoor and said, regretfully:
- ,, ueme, near, vr. uresnam is going

a flushed face and quivering mouth; and

closed behind her. - " "; , " !-- -

- He opened his eyes suddenly, and saw
Queenie's white dress just fluttering
around the corner of the house. Dr.
Gersham knew better than to follow her.
He went up to his room quite happy.
" She loves me," he said with a quiet
smile. And he remembered her words
of a few months before.

Jjr. uersham laughed softly to him-
Ah. my little lady 1 You and I will
have a reckoning this evening !"
But he was mistaken; for Queenie was
missing at tea time.. -Mrs. Hyde in
formed him that she had gone to visit a
friend in the village and would not re
turn for several days, iw.'
JNot until the evening before the doc
tor's .departure for the South did she
make her appearance, and it was a very
solemn little face that he saw when he
confronted her in the June twilight, and
led her into the garden, where the old
apple tree was dropping its tinted blos
soms. .
Little Queenie seemed suddenly to have
lost roguishness and self-possession, and
looked the very picture of shame and
discomfiture, with her crimson face and
heavy-lidded eves.
The doctor evidently had no idea of
letting her escape him.
" Queenie, I am going to tell you about
ft strange dream I had the other day.
"I guess I think that is, Auntie
will want me now," she stammered,
looking wishfully at the house.
"Auntie cannot have you now, be
cause I propose to keep you myself, at
least till I relate my dream and get your
opinion of it. You must know that I was
asleep on the piazza, and it seemed as
though somebody kissed me with two
very sweet lins: and. - furthermore,
dreamed that it was the same little girl
who made the remark, some tune ago,
that the man thus favored would be her
future husband."
He paused, holding both her hands in
his, and looking at her drooping, crim
son face.
Oh, Queenie, Queenie! how your face
did burn! And how the old annle tree
twirled about! And how your heart did
pound and pound in its prison, trying
the best it knew how to make its voice
heard in that dreadful silence!
" Queenie," the doctor's laughing
voice was softened and tender as he drew
her to his arms, where she was glad to
hide her hot face on his broad shoulder;
"little Queenie, don't be ashamed of
loving. It is God's sweetest gift to his
children the capacity of affection.
Think how long you have played at cross

ave gone away to the South without
this satisfaction, if it had not been for
that lucky kiss. Ah, that reminds me I
will take another, if you please."
He was laughing again now. and
Queenie clung a little closer to him with
a quick gesture.
"Oh.no.no! X cannot. I never can
again!"
" You must get used to it, lady bird,
and yon may as well make np your mind
to begin to practice now."
He slipped a ring from his watch-
chain a diamond, with a quaint gold
setting and put it on her slender fore
finger. ,...: '
" This was my mother's ring, Queenie,'
he said reverently; " she died long years
ago. I will give it to you as a token of
my undying love."
: She turned her cheek to his with
movement that was scarcely a caress, it
was so swift and timid, but she did not
attempt to speak.
" Now, dear, I will take that kiss, and
then I will go, fori have an engagement
at the village. Next fall I shall return
from : Virginia to claim my little wife
Come, I will give yon just two minutes
in which to kiss me of yonr own free
will, just as you did on the piazza.
; He took out his watch 1 and waited
Queenie standing directly; before him,
laughed nervously, and flushed and
trembled, still hesitating.; Never was
there a more, timid, bashful creature,
now that she was fairly conquered. She
dared not even to lift her eyes to his face
" One minute more," said the doctor,
standing, watch in hand, like grim Fate.
" Oh, dear," Queenie ' gasped, and
looking about her fearfully, as though
she were about to do something dreadful ;
and then suddenly lifted two very meek
lips. - ' .
" I will now," she said. And once
again Dr. Gersham felt the shy pressure
of the fragrant mouth on his, only this
time he responded with interest; and
then Queenie broke away from him and
ran into the house.
The next morning, just before his de
parture, the doctor-had a conversation in
the library with Mr. Hyde, and as he re
entered the sitting-room he overheard
Johnnie's exclamation to Tom :
" Thomas J. Hyde! Queenie has the
doctor's ring on her finger. What does it
mean !" .
" It means." said Dr. Gersham. " that
I want you to take good care of Queenie
until next September, and then there
will be a wedding right here." .

Accuracy ft Path to Wealth.
In this age of guesswork it is re
freshing to read an article on the fol
lowing, contributed to the Methodist
by John D. Knox,- of Topea Kan
sas, on the importance of exactness.
The author 'commences with the im
portance of accuracy in the value of
testimony, all depending on
its ex
The actness. and proceeds to say:
professed end of logic is to teach men
to think, to judge and reason with
precision and accuracy. S. Martin
asks: "What makes the scholar?
Exactness. What is most likely to
secure success in the learned profes
sions? Exactness. What laises men
of various callings to the highest
position attainable by persons in
their occupations? Exactness. What
makes a man's word pass current as
gold? llis known exactness. What,
above all things, is essential in the
laboratory? Exactness."
Mr. Martin is right. Exactness,
accuracy, perfection in all the work
yon undertake will bring you a sure
reward. And the record of a noted
man is found in these words: "He
became an honorable man, successful
merchant, and bank president." Hia
splendid career commenced in black
ing a pair of boots well when a boy,
aud he continued "doing well' all
through life, whether blacking boots
or managing finance. What he did
he did accurately, and, of coarse, it
did pot have to bo done over or im
proved or mended, but always gave
satisfaction and secured commenda
tion. ' '"
President Tuttle, on "How to Got
the Best Place," gives us this in
stance: "I saw a young man in the
office of a Western .Railway Super
intendent. He was occupying a po
sition that four hundred boys in the
city would have wished to get. It
was honorable and 'it paid well,'
besides being in the lino of promo
tion. How did he get it? Not by
having a rich father, for be was the
son of a laborer. The secret was, his
beautiful accuracy. He began as an
errand boy, and did his work accur-
atelv. llis leisure time be used in
perfecting his writing and arithmetic.
After a while be learned to telegraph.
At each step his employer com
mended his accuracy, and relied on
what he did because be was sure it
was just right."
And it is thus with every occupa
tion. The accurate boy is the fa
vored one. Those who employ men
do not wish to be on the constant
lookout, as though they were rogues
or fools. If a carpenter must stand
at hia journeyman's elbow to bo sure
hip work is right, or if a cashier
must run over his book-keeper's col
umns, he might as well do it himself
as to employ another one to do it in
that way; and it is very certain that
the employer will get rid of such an
inaccurate workman as soon as pos
sible.
I knew such a young man. He bad
a good chance to do well, but he was
so inaccurate and so unreliable that
people were afraid to trust him. If
he wrote a deed or mortgage or a
contract, he was -sure to leave out
something or put in something to
make it an imperfect paper. He was
a lawyer without business, because
he lacked the noble quality of accu
racy.
Just across the street from him
was another young lawyer, who was
proverbial lor . accuracy. lie was
famous for searching titles, and when
he wrote out the history of a title to
a piece of property, it was taken for
granted as just so. His aim was
absolute accuracy in everything. If
he copied a conveyance or cited a
legal authority or made a statement,
he aimed to do it exactly. The con
sequence is, he is having a valuable;
practice at the bar and is universally
esteemed.
"But," says some boy, "when I
become a man that is the way I shall
do. I mean to be very accurate."
Perhaps so; I could tell better if I
knew just how you do your work
now. There are several ways of get
ting a lesson. One is to get it
"tolerably well," which does not
cost much labor; the other is to get
it faultlessly well, which costs a great
deal of labor. A boy can get a gen
eral idea of his lesson "in a jiffy;"
but to get it accurately is very hard,
and requires both time and industry.
If you, my boy to-day are getting
your lesson in the slipshod way, you
will grow up a slipshod man; but if
to-day your habit is to get every
lesson with perfect accuracy, I will
warrant yon will do that way when
you become a man. How is it?

Married by Telegraph.
The Rev. Dr. C. S. Coit, pastor of the
Centenary Methodist Episcopal Church
on Belleville avenue, Newark, recently
performed a novel marriage ceremony
in the main Newark office of the Western
Union Telegraph Company. He Baid
that Miss Margaret Wright, of Albany,
New York, who was on a visit to friends
in Newark, requested him to marry her
by telegraph to a gentleman in San Fran
cisco. He told Miss Wright that such a
marriage would not be legal. She then
said that she was engaged to Dr. F. M.
Shaw, of Los Angeles, who had promised
to come Jbiast lor her. ne naa written,
however, that owing to a rush of busi
ness he could not journey East at the
time agreed upon. He urged her to join
him in Ban Francisco, where they would
be married. She replied that she wanted
more than a mere promise to marry be
fore she would take such a long journey.
Dr. Shaw then proposed that they should
be married by telegraph, with witnesses
at the Newark and San Francisco offices,
and she accepted the proposal.
The Bev. Dr. Coit, after much urging,
consented to perform an informal mar
riage ceremony with the understanding
that Miss Wright and Dr. Shaw should
be married afterward by a clergyman in
California. He forwarded a number of
questions to Dr. Shaw, who answered
that he was fifty -one years old, did not
have a wife living, and that no legal ob
jections to the proposed marriage exist
ed. The Rev. Dr. Coit refused to give
Miss Wright a marriage certificate, the
understanding being that she would get
one from the minister in California.
At 9 o'clock one evening the operator
in the Western Union office at Market
and Broad streets, Newark, was sur
prised by the appearance of the Rev. Mr.
Coit and a fashionable party coming into
the office. Miss Wright, who has dark
chestnut hair, brown eyes, and an olive
complexion, wore a dark silk dress, with
white bonnet and lilies of the valley.
She carried in her right hand a small
bouquet of white flowers. She blushed
a deep crimson, and laughed nervously
when the Rev. Mr. Coit said to the oper
ator that she wished to be married by
telegraph. By request of the Rev. Mr.
Coit, the operator telegraphed to Dr.
Shaw, who was waiting with his friends
in the San Francisco office, the question :
" Are you ready ? "
In a few minutes the answer was
flashed back :
" Yes, and have been for an hour."
The Rev. Mr. Coit then read the ques
tion, which the operator sent to Dr.
Shaw: " Do you take Margaret Wright
for your lawful wife, and promise to be
faithful to her until separated by death ? "
Thero was considerable dehvy at the
San Francisco office, and while waiting
for an answer the bride chatted pleas
antly with her friends, one of whom Baid:
" Wouldn't it be a joke, Maggie, if the
doctor said no ? " The bride joined in
the laughter that followed. Meanwhile
Dr. Shaw telegraphed, "I do, and I
pledge her my love and protection." He
also sent en the name of a friend, a Mr.
Shere, as his witness in San Francisco.
Mr. Gibson of Newark was the witness
for Miss Wright. A few days after the
oeremony the bride started for Califor
nia to join her husband. She is 27 years
old, intelligent and accomplished. New

Birds of Paradise.
The birds of New Guinea present
larger proportion of brilliantly ulumaced
species than those of any other part of
the world. To this result the birds of
Paradise greatly contribute. Of this fam
ily twenty-four species are known, all con-
bned to the rapuan islands with a single
exception, a Manucodia, which has ex
tended its range to North Australia, and
which is without the characteristic plumes
of the true Paradise birds. Whether for
singularity or beauty of plumage, the
birds of Paradise are without rivals in the
bird world. Most of them have superb
tufts of leathers issuing, not from the
wings, but from each side of the body.
forming sometimes wavy, silky plumes of
considerable thickness, sometimes fans
which spread on each . side of the breast,
sometimes shields or long trains behind
the wings, while the central tail-feathers
are often produced to a great length, elon
gated by lustrous spatules, and all adorned
with the most brilliant metallic tints. In
the sub-family Epimachirue, instead of
tufts from the sides of the body, the ac
cessory plumes spring from the head, the
back, or the shoulders, while in the spe
cies which strays into North Australia
these peculiarities are absent.' There is
scarcely a hue among the colors of nature
which is not found in the endless variety
of the painting of the Paradise birds; no't
only tne lustrous metallic tints ot the
humming bird, but yellows, reds, blues
and greens, of every degree of intensity.
Yet these fantastic freaks of coloration
and feathering are confined to the males;
the females are all clad in the most sober
browns, and are the most unattractive of
birds. Doubtless this provision of nature
is lntenueu as a protection from observa
tion during the incessant labors of the
nestling season. Strange notions former
ly prevailed among the vulgar as to the
birds of Paradise. As until recently no
European has been able ;to observe them
in life, all . our specimens were supplied
by the natives, who always cut off the
legs from the skins, on which account
they were reputed to be without feet,
whence .the name of the t best-known
species, Apoda. Peculiar and strange as
are these creatures, yet there can be no
doubt that their nearest allies in nature
are a family marked by an extreme uni-
iormity and Bomorenees or plumage, and

How Cheap Literature Pays. It is
said that the late G. W. M. Reynolds bad
made more money by his sixty or seventy
cheaply sensational novels than many of
tne most distinguished authors in Ureat
Britain. His earnings from his stones
have, been estimated as high as 60,000,
wnicn may ne an exaggeration, although
that would not be much more than 4000

ported to have brought Mm in $8000.

American Archives.
When the great historian of the Uni
ted States shall come to the front and
sit down to his work, he will be appalled
at the mass of material with which he
will have to deal. A marvelous literary
digestion will be a previous condition of
his success, for without it he can never
turn to best account the vast stores of
books and manuscripts particularly the
latter upon which his mind must feed
for years before he puts pen to paper.
The Librarian of Congress has just re
ported, in response to a Senate resolu
tion, upon the condition and extent of
the manuscript papers known as Force's
American Archives, l'eter Force, in
1830, began the great work of puttink in
permanent and accessible shape all
obtainable State papers and public docu
ments, with extensive selections from
private papers, narratives and news
papers, bearing upon the country s his
tory from its discovery to the adoption
of the Constitution in 1789. The publica
tion of his materials was begun with the
fourth of the six periods into which bur
colonial history was divided, extended
from ill to the Declaration of inde
pendence. Six folio volumes of the
series and three of the fifth series were
published, bringing the work no further
than 1776, when it was stopped by a dis
continuance of the appropriation. In
the forty years devoted to the work, Mr.
Force had made an enormous collection
of books, pamphlets, maps, manuscripts
and newspapers, and in 1867, this collec
tion was bought by the library of Con
gress for 8100,000. The Senate resolu
tion which called out Librarian Spof
ford's report referred mainly to the pa
pers belonging to the fifth series of 1783,
the publication of which would com
plete the documentary history of the
revolution. Besides letters of officers
and other war papers, this series em
braces the full manuscript journals of
the Continental Congress and the Con
gress of Confederation from 1774
to 1783, of which only brief
elections have been published.
There are about 230,000 foolscap
pages of manuscript, which would make
thirty folio volumes of 800 pages each,
of which the estimated cost for an edi
tion of 1000 copies would be $4 a volume.
The editing of these papers will be a
serious work, and should be intrusted to
someone able, not only to reduce the
bulk of the work by judicious omissions,
but by his familiarity with other collec
tions to supply gaps, of which there are
naturally many. These "Archives" will
do for the historian of the country what
the old English chronicles and the great
collections of memtrire pour servir have
done for those of England and France.
Supplemented by the stores of informa
tion treasured up in .the libraries of his
torical societies and of private collectors,
like Mr; Lenox, Mr. Murphy, the late
Mr. Brinley, and in the Carter Brown
library at Providence, they will throw
upon our early history a steady and re
vealing light. 2V, Y. Times.
Unlucky Marriages.
The truth is that these too frequent "un
happy marriages" are the offspring of
ignorance quite as much as of actual sin.
or wrong. Fools, and especially vicious
fools, have no right to get possession of a
woman's life and soul which they cannot
comprehend, and the elevating influence
of which they throw away even more by
stupidity than by willfulness.
A woman, by her sex and.character.has
a claim to many things besides shelter,
lood and ciotnmg. one is not less a
woman for being wedded : and a man
who is fit to be trusted with a good wife
recollects all which this implies, and
shows himself perpetually chivalrous,
sweet spoken, considerate and deferential
The fools and brutes who abound among
us may think such demands hard ; but
they are not as bad as to live the eat-and-dog
live, missing the dearest possibilities
of human intercourse.
What right has a man to expect happi
ness in a household who brings no sun
shine into it? What right has he to look
for the graces and refinements of early
love when he violates them by rough
speech, ill manners and the disregards of
those little things upon which the self re
spect of a wife is built and maintained?
The cynic who rails at marriage is gen
erally one and the same with the
thoughtless egotist who files into the
presence of his wife careless, stubborn
and sour tempered, though he never went
to bis mistress except on his best be
havior. ' ;
The faith is horrible which a pure and
faithful girl may endure by encountering
in him whom she weds not mere actual
cruelty or injury, but stupid incompetence
to understand a woman's needs, dull for-
getfulnessof the daily graces of life and
oblivion of the fact that while men hare
the world women have only their home.
Those crossnesses of masculine - inerati
tude do not, indeed, often lean to visible
catastophe nor grow into absolute
tyranny, but they equally tend that way
They drag down a wife's soul to the point
where she must despair: they change the
sublime meaning of marriage to vulgarity
and weariness ; they spoil the chance of
that best and finest of all education which
each man obtains who wins a reasonably
good woman for his companion, and they
cost more to a million households than
money or repentonce can ever pay back.
