The words tbey were uttering were few

"I'd have a little modesty, Dorothy, if I

might have kissed Harry good-by last
night."
"Sbe did, over and over," said Cbapin,
. who was sitting by the window with a
book in his hand. I peeked in at the
crack of tbe door, and I heard lota tbey
atid." -
"Yoa peeked, did you?" retarted his
mother, facing about qalckliy. "Pretty

"I guess I know how to train my own

the mother. "The boy don't haveenough

' Dorothy shuddered and sighed. But

He walked off down the Toad. Dorothv
; watching him. It struck her that his step
was less alert than formerly, and thatithe
: shoulders were growing jnore bent than
ever. Her dear, patient father! With a
: sudden realization of all tbat be was to
her, she watched him until be was out of
siulit. xtyand .bybe returned, and in
cheery voice called her. Bhe came to the
v wood-pile, and, sore enough, he had
letter-.. . -
letters were rare in those days com-
pared to what they are now, for this is a
story of thirty years ago. Still, when
Dorothy read her epistle, she found thst

her heart ached as she read her lover's
wonaer ana regret that Bhe had not an'

Sbe walked into the kitchen where her
motner was nosy kneading tbe bread
mere was a nasb in. her eyes which
; equaled-any that ever burned in her
mowers, out sne spoke very quietly.
"111 thank you for the letter I ought to
have had a month sgo, mother." -
"You'll tind it ia the clock. It's been
there sale ever since it came, for any one
with eyes to see." . j
: Dorothy did not reply. She carried her
precious budget up to her own little white
room, her refuge in bo many weary hours,
and there aha read and re-read them
many time?. And before an hour bad
passed she had written an answer, half
shy, half passionate, but wholly sweet, to
Harry Morgan, whom it reached ia due
course. -.- ; t ..
The autumn brought the first real trou
ble of her life to Dorothy. Her father
sickened and died. , How Btmnge it
seemed to be without fatber ! -Often and
often at suu?et she walked down the
winding- road to tbe old eravevard. and
there, sitting by the lowly mound where
ber father slept, gathered comfort and
courage in the sure knowledge that it was
well with lum. He bad loved tbe JLord,
tbat ehe knew, and he had gone to dwelt
in the golden city, where they walk in
white whobave washed their robe in the
blood of the Lamb. An unwonted silence
felt on the household. Cross and despotic
as poor -Mrs. Dean was. she had loved ber
husband, and ber grief was real ana deep.
But it was not grief which could be com
forted. It repelled condolence .rather
than invited it, and when Dorothy would
have fain thrown ber arms about the sad
woman, and whispered loving words, she
was obliged to be still and refrain. I
. One bright expectation shone before
ber with the beauty of a star. Christmas
was coming I Kiie would see tiarry, ana
as tbe weeks passed, and the long storms
came, shutting the little inland village up,
attunes lor days, Dorothy lived in tne
thought of the pleasure; they would have
w nen narrr came goon. x.eu isr bvc
row at her father's death seemed to fade
and recede as the December days grew
toward the 2oth. ! j
- Her mothe observed and resented thia,
and on the Saturday before Christmas,
when her daughter, who was organist at
tbe little church, nut on her cloak and
boots and called Chapln to o with ber
for her customary p'actice, she said: j
"I thought you looked for young Mor
gan to be here to-day. You've been all
but dancing and singing ever since you
cot no. I don't see now von can be so
giddy. Dorothv. and your poor father
ivinc beneath the snow."
"Father is happy in' heaven, mother,"
answered Dorothy, gently; "and I'm sure
if he can see me, he's willing for me to
be glad at Christmas. Harry will not be
here till Christmas Eve. Come, Cbapin,
dear, there's to be more music than usual
to-morrow."' I
Away they tramped over the hard,
shining snow. Cbapin talking merrily.
Suddenly they passed into a different
mood. J
"I do hope, Dora, you and Harry won't
get married until I in a man. I never
could stand living' alone with mother.
She makes a fellow so blue."
"Don't borrow trouble, dear. It will be
years before Harry and 1 can' think of
marrying, I'm afraid." ;
"There's a letter for you, Mrs. Dean.'
shouted Enoch Turner that night when
the stage came in.. "Leastways its for
your darter. I brought it up, for I didn't
think you'd get to the store this evenin r
"Thanks," called Dorothy, as Chapin
ran out for it. But her heart misgve
ber as sbe took it away up-stairs.
"Mv aweet Dora." it ran. "how wretch
edly disappointed I am no words can-tell;
but uncie jarea nas gone west on Dual

all the joy was gone from tbat Christ
mas for Dorothy. People remarked how
ill she plaved next day, and the Rector
very gently asked her if she could not
give more time to practice hereafter.

not had an hour to spare for Hillsdale
and good-byes, and it would be a year or

In the meantime Cbapin, growing
weary of his mother's scolding, started off
one night with a little bundle in his arms
and it was jreeks be lore tney knew wn a
had become of him. Then he wrote from
a great stock farm in Nebraska where be

her mother were left alone. She became
uaail to evervthiner. and. like a sensible
girl, our heroine did not give up heir time
to tears and meiancnoiy, out occupied
herself witb ber sewing, her books, and
her music, wben her household work was
over. There was plenty ot that, for ber
mother was feebler than Bhe bad ; been,
and was compelled to resign much to the
younger pair of hands. Neither did she
stay away from the society of the ciuntry
side. She had friends and admirers
enough, for sbe was a beauty an heiress
in a small way and better still, was re
garded as a very smart girl. More! than
one young farmer of tbe neighborhood
had hitched his horse and buggy at the
Deans' door Sunday evening; but though
-Mrs. Dean pleaded and remonstrated, and
sometimes wept, to none would Dorothy
listen except as a friend.
"If you're waiting for that good-for-nothing,
my poor child, you'll be an old
maid," she said one day. "I'll never con
sent for you to take him."
"Ho, mother r Wot if that were mV only
way to be happy ?" pleaded Dorothy, in
her loving way.
"You may take him when I'm dead if,
you will, the. mother answered- You
foolish girl, I dare say; he's had half a
dozen sweethearts since he left you,"
"Hush, mother!" exclaimed Dorothy
imperatively. It was hard to bear. Long
months with no letter, and no tidings
from the dreary sea of tiarry and his ship.
Other maidens were married and went to
their own homes, but Dorothy only stayed
alone and waited. i
One morning her mother was nnable to
rise or to speak. She had had a paralytic
Attack. i
If life had been weary before, it was
worse now. The monotony of the house
was dreadful. Mrs. Dean gradually re
covered, but her doom was sealed, and
the doctor said sbe would have seizures
again and again till tbe end a forlorn
prospect for tbe faithful daughter, who
attended ber with unmurmuring devo
tion. M
Whatever happens, time goes on. and
so it came about, one rich autumnal day.
when the maples were aflame and the
oaks wore a royal mantle, and the last
flowers bloomed in the garden, that Harry
Morgan came home. Dorothy gazed at
him in admiration. He had been hand'
some, to her eyes, when ne went away;
now ne was princely, liiai indescribable
air ot the city hung over him, and he had
gained immensely by the culture which
travel and mingling with men impart.
Dorothy was very proud of her lover as
he went to church with her on Sunday.
. He could stay but a little while, for
business was absorbing and Harry was
growing rich. Before he left, he pressed
her to name the day when they would be
married.
"I will have a home all ready for my
dove to fold her wings in," he said.
Dorothy's cheek grew pale. "Harry, we
must wait," was all the answer she could
make him. "I cannot leave my mother.
"Your Aunt Agnes can take your
mothef to her house, Dora., If yoa love
me yoa will come hen I need yoa. Dr.
Preston says our mother may linger for
years. Dorothy; am I to be sacrificed to
an overstrained idea of duty?"
In vain she tried to explain that nobody
but herself would have patience for all
the little offices that her mother's help
lessness rendered necessary. He would
not -be convinced, and when tbey sepa
rated, it was, on his part, with the air of
one wno nau receirea just cause ior
offense. '.
Three years more went slowly by; cor
respondence between; tne lovers naa
grown infreauenr. Btnce to all Harry's an
peals Dorothy had only one answer to
make. One night tbe stage driver stopped
and said: ' -. -
"Reckon you've heard tbe news, Doro
thy; Harry Morgan's married. Him and
tier's comin' np to spend next Sunday at
his father's." , , - r -

to bide aching hearts, made Drothy
queenly, as she stepped into the ihuroh
porch and met her old lovervitff up

great pang, acknowledged to his own tout

woman who congratulated them both
without a quaver in her voices and then,

Six months later Mrs. Dean died. Aunt
Agnes catne to help Dorothy put the old
place in order, and men. uaving iuuuu a
tenant for it, the two ladies, to tbe amaze
ment of tbe village, set out for long trip
to Nebraska, to see Cbapin, who was
doing splendidly, to California, and back

The stage, no longer driven by Enoch
Pond, who was gathered to his. fathers,

late in November, 1879. A tall, gray
haired gentleman alighted, lifting out a
small, golden-haired mite of a girl. He

tor and his wife feared it would not turn
out well; and indeed, whether the lovers,
married so late, will be so happy as they
would have been had he remaiued so
strong and patient and stead last as she
did, ia a question still to be solved. They
are a noble looking couple, and the hus
band seems as if be could hardly lavish
love enough on the wife who waited for

at the door and a footman in a splendid

that the Scharfrichter would be pleased
to speak with him for a moment in the
passage. K rants went out with the
lackey, and after a brief interchange of
sentences in an undertone was heard to

lady Countess, that I am very sorry, but
I cannot, dare not do it." Interrogated

Deacon Grinder was a portly widower.
He was the surviving parent of three
sprightly children, and regarded as is
possession of considerable property.
The "little darlings,' as they were sty
led, met with lavish expressions of ad
miration in the presence of the deacon
from a number of ancient maiden la
dies and widows. Miss Philena Peck
had taken care of them during hit tem
porary absence, and declared tbat she
fairly doed on children, and hoped
the deacon would let them come again.
The Widow Clapp, aa he was driving
by, hurried out with a pail of honey in
the comb, all of which she said was
just the thing for the little dears.
"Deacon," said she, when are they
coming to spend the day witli me?"
A the deacon reached the village

Miss Barbara Bowper; She commenced
in flatter the widower for his "be yu-

evenings before, and then wound up by
presenting Tommy with a collar, Josie
with a handkerchief, and Dorothy with

Miss Peck sot so very upright, and
glared so frightfully at the5 deacon, that
he wa fain to beat a retreat as soon as
soon as possible. :
He knocked next at the w uiow uiapp s
door. A slipshod servant maid opened
it.
"Is Mrs. Clapo at borne?" he asked.

"I am talking of it." said the deacon.
"Would- could you let me take care
of the little ones while you are gone?"
said Naomi, tenderly drawing little Dolly
to her side. "Yon have been so kind to

we should feel it a privilege to be able to

And poor, soft-hearted JNaomi burst

In Aa Old Forfait Gallery.
It is an acknowledged fact that naval
stations are the gayest society centers,
and while the personnel of the little navy
of tae Revolution were busied with ex
citing enterprises taxing their courage
and endurance on tbe nigh seas, they
were all the more ready to indulge in
social enjoyments when in , port. The
.ladies of New London, too, were as
patriotic at they were handsome, and de
vised innumerable entertainments for
their gallant defenders. - The Marine
Tavern and the Golden Ball in the town,
as well as the inns on the Norwich and
Old Lynne turnpikes, became scenes of
revelry, while private mansions outvied
each other in hospitality. Some of the
old mansions of the town are particularly
rich in miniatures and others in oil
paintings of the ladies of this period re
fined, sweet faces, set off by elaborate
cbiffurea and great ruffs. The miniatures
painted by Mrs. Chaplin at tbe begin
ning of this century, especially those of
the Coit sisters, have a delicacy of treat
ment and a purity of sentiment pecu
liarly suited to the fair faces of ber sis
ters. The family portrait gallery of the
Shaw family introduces ns most vividly
to thp early society of New London. It
is difficult not to imagine while gazing
on. these aristocratic dames, stately gen
tlemen and gentle girls who surround us,
standing at full length in their tall
frames, that tney are looking at us
through open doors that Madame Tem
perance Shaw, m her white satin and
mop-cap, with the open Bible in her
hand, is not expecting a visit from her
pastor; Rev. Gurdon Saltonstall. Na
thaniel haw, - ner son, with bis . long
light locks, sober dress, and knee shoe
buckles, reminds us of William Peon,
but of William Penn minus his rotund
figure. In his almost Quaker simplicity
of attire he forms a decided contrast to
bis courtly wife, in her stiff, gold-colored
satin dress, bosomed like Ruben's wife,
witb pearls in her hair and around ber
beautiful throat; ehe holds a red rose in
one shapely hand, and -as she stands
there is the embodiment of haughty
aristocracy. And yet this proud dame,
when tbe war ships in Shaw's Cove, on
which the mansion fronts, were full of
men dying with the ship fever, opened
ber bouse, turning it into a hospital,
nursed the stricken men with ber own
bands, and fell at last, sad to say, a vic
tim to the same malignant disease.
What a romance might be written in this
picture gallery! The next portrait is
that of pretty Polly Shaw, sister of Na
thaniel Shaw. Tha portrait represents
ber at fifteen, in a dress of white satin,
simply cut. with a square neck; its only
ornament is a formal croes-of-Malta-shaped
rosette of four loops of satin rib
bon, with a tear-shaped pearl in the cen
ter. All innocence is ouf thought as we
look at the serious young face. She
stands in the garden, with a basket of
fruit, and a shade bat upon ber arm.
'She is going to visit the poor," said my
companion; we need not ne tola that
she married a minister." Here, too,
the portrait of ber daughter, a coquettish
woman in a Doe-nive neaa-aress,
which reminds us of the portraits of
Madame Le Brnn in her white muslin
turban. She holds a baby on ber lap a
baby who, grown to man's estate, be
came the fatber of the present genera
tion now occupying the house. How far
back it throws everything! And yet, aa
we walk through the manorial house,
peep into the library with its portrait of
Cromwell in armor, stand reverently in
the room that entertained Washington,
half expecting to see bis figure held as
by a sensitive plate in the high mirror,
and stroll through alleys of box that rise
a high hedge on either hand, up the
knoll crowned with a summer bouse
centnrv and a half old. wbere Lafayette

toasted the bright eyes of pretty Polly
Shaw in those spiral-stemmed, monogram-engraved
champagne glosses, and

Healthy Women.
A writer, in urging the necessity for
more attention to physical Culture, notes
as a favorable sign the fact that "the
pale and interesting" type of female
beauty is fast losing its popularity, and
that men of position and influence are
declaring for the healthy standard of
womanly beauty, such as was ever recog
nized by Greece and Rome, This is cer
tainly an important and hanpv change
in public taste, and already the effects of
it ore to be detected in an improved con
dition of ' feminine health; for it will
hardly be denied that on an average the
women of to-day are physically superior
to what they were a few years ago when
tight-lacing and similar destroying cus
toms' prevailed. Young women take
more exercise than they formerly did
They ride and walk more, and are in the
open air. They have not the insane
dread of the suna rays which they once
had. But there is much room for im
provement yet. Many homes are still
presided over by invalid mothers and
wives, who furnish a constant spectacle
of sadness and misery to their families
and friends, and are a subject of un
limited expense to their husbands.- In
such homes the greatest of all blessings
that could be hoped for would be
the health of the mistress restored; but
too often it is the one blessing that never
comes.
American homes, more than any other,
perhaps, in the world, have been sad
dened by sickly women. If this shall be
so no longer, it will be a great blessing
to tbe nation. And the remedy is simple.
American men are as strong and healthy
as those of other nations; there is no
good reason why American women
should not be. All that is needed is a
proper attention to dress and exercise.
Let women dress.as men do, so that their
bodies shall not be squeezed and pressed
together, but have free room for motion,
and let them get out into the air and
sunshine, as men do, and exercise their
bodies, and the race of American women
will not become extinct, as at once
threatened to do. On the contrary, it
will be improved, built up, and beauti
fied, and a time will shortly come when
a healthy man will not have to hunt a
whole country over to find a healthy
wife. We are on the right track now; all
that is needed is to go ahead, and the
results will soon be manifested. Women
will die to be in fashion; therefore let
the fashion of female beauty be vigor
and strength, and all the ladies in the
land will be swinging dumb-bells, prac
tising archery, riding on horseback, and
walking for a wager, but they will be in
style. ' - ,

Tbe Theater in Damascus. :-- v
Among other novelties which have
been introduced into Damascus since the
arrival there of Midhat Pasha as Governor-General
; of Syria, is an Arab
theater upon semi-civilizeilprinciplea. I
went there one night with His Highness,
and was surprised at the modern aspect
of tbe house. ; 'l here was a ticket seller
at a guichet, and a house neatly arranged
with aeate, which were well occupied by
an exclusively male audience, In the
front row: were the seats reserved for
the . Governor-General's party, while
the orchestra, consisting of a man who
played an instrument like a guitar, an
other who played one like - a zithern, an
other wno played a native clarionet, an
other who sang, and! another -who
drummed were placed in a recess to the
right of the stage. The curtain was in
scribed with an Arabic motto, and rose
and fell with irregular jerks; the scenes
did not change; and the actors sang, or
rather chanted, their parts. 'I he play
was the original story, which "Verdi has
adapted, and the plot of whioh he has
considerably altered, of Aida. The lead
ing actor, whet performed the part of the
"General," was a man of considerable
dramatic power, clad in a eoat of mail
with a most fantastic helmet, which, at
the opening scene partly concealed bis
face, and whose lower extremeties were
clothed in thick, white hoae. He stalked
about the stage unceasingly in his stock-
ing-solcs, swayed bis ndy in a measured
and not graceful ma.ti.er, so as to keep
time with tbe cadence of hia voice,whicn
was expressive of his varied emotions,
and by no means unmusical. The
Egyptian King s daughter, whom be
makes a prisoner in war, and with whom
he falls injlove, thus nearly breaking the
other one'i heart, weijebbth boys dressed
as girls, who acted their parts with great
feeling and cleverness, considering their
youth. Indeed, it was difficult to toll
that they Iwere not girls, i They were
picturesquely attired in unentui cos
tumes, the one as a slave, the other as a
King s daighter, but the other female
attendants wore semi-European dresses
which were by no - means becoming.
The "King of Egypt" was a splendidly
arrayed monarch, after the style of the
conventional "iwandanapaius; and ne
did tho Eastern potentate to perfection.
Indeed, the whole performance was far
more skillfully executed than might
have been expected, though of acting
in the strict sense of the word, there
was none; it was recitation, now plain
tive, now impassioned, and in the case
of one character, jocose; but tbe per
petual motion ef the players, who
move rythmetically about the stage all
the time, grows somewhat monotonous
to the foreigner accustomed to more
lively action. The audience, however,
seemed thoroughly to enter into the
spirit of the piece and appreciated the
jokes keenly. During the entr'acte
the Arab band played the wild discord
ant music with which all rastern
travelers are familiar, and which is to
be heard any day in the cafes and gar
dens of the city. Tbe ballet was of the
tamest description, and consisted ot tne
most wearisome repetition of little
steps. . It was in every respect strictly
proper, and was danced uy the youths
who represented the "Princess s ' ladies.
The whole affair was an experiment.
which seems likely to succeed, and on
the whole was a pleasing, if slightly
dull, performance.. tilackwooa s Maga-

Thurlow Weed In England.
Thurlow Weed, in a letter to the New
York lhnbune, referring to- the letters
from England to that paper descriptive
of localities and persons made classsic
by Dicken's novels, recalls his own ex-
penence in the country, as follows:
in lncxen s "xaie of t wo Uities
believe be refreshes his hero "by
plunge into the Roman bath." Thia
identification of the existence of such
a Roman antiquity in London was the
first, but until very recently, the only
reference I had ever seen of it. Mur
ray s and other guide books were
searched in vain for an account of the
Roman bath. And yet it exists, intact
as it was built with uoman brick and
cement, - since the invaders eighteen
centuries ago occupied London. The
bath is situated in a narrow lane lead
ing from the Strand to-the river, about
midway between Temple Bar and Som
erset House. It is now, and has ever
been supplied with a living spring of
water as clear as crystal. The bath is
twelve feet long, eight feet wide, and
has a depth of from three to four feet
of water. The concierge in charge, in
formed me that all or nearly all the
bathers were Templars, and had been
Templars, as she had been informed
from immemorial. I found nobodv in
London in 1812, in 1852 and in 1861
who bad ever seen or heard of the
Roman bath. - Bat more recently it is
spoken of as an interesting antiquity in
"Walks in London." General Grant
Wilson informs me that it is mentioned
in the last edition of Murray.
In my first visit to Europe, nearly
forty yeais ago, much oi my time was oc
cupied in seeking out objects and locali
ties made historic by eminent men,
sought and found the house in Temple
street, wbere Franklin boarded with Mrs.
Stevenson when working in London as a
journeyman painter, I also visited the
chop house in Bolt. Court, which Dr.
Johnson frequented and when there he
so often met Goldsmith, Garrick. Dr.
-Burney and other celebrities. I also
upon the top of a coach passing through
the "Elephant and Castle," was driven
eighty miles to Thrale's Brewery, which,
as described by Dr. Johnson, was a "po
tentiality for acquiring wealth beyond
the dreams of avarice." I visited tho
East India Company House to be grati
fied witb a view of the room and a desk
in which, and at which, Charles Lamb
worked. - But the civil janitor informed
me that no such person as Charles Lamb
had been, during the twenty years that
he had been janitor, a clerk in the com
pany's house.
Alfonso,
I saw tl'ia noble youth asd boy-ting
to-day. There are two conditions that
place a country before ns in a humiliated
shape: one when governed ostensibly by
a boy and really by a clicqne; the other
wnen presided over by a womanly man
and governed by a cabal. Why Spain
should be as she is may be found in tbe
character of her rulers. To-day, when I
saw Alfonso driving ont, I never felt so
proud before in being a citizen of the
United States. If we 'were to walk np
and down the sunny side of North
Charles street during a balmy afternoon
and try to engage a heedless girl in a
brilliant conversation, made up of ex
clamations and grins, he would no more
attract attention than any other young
man similarly engaged on the glorious
Sabbath in that rueful me. :: If there is

sighs over the grave of his lost bride,
"La Beina Santa," aa these people

who won the affections of these people.
If I may accept the whole story about

: Slashing and Turning Pale.
Elnshing ia occasioned by sudden
dilation of the small blood-vessels, which
form a fine network beneath the skin,and
when they admit an increased volume of
red blood cause the surface to - appear
suffused with color. Blanching? is the
opposite state, in which the vessels con
tract and squeeze out their : blood, so
that the skin is seen out of its bloodless
hue. The change effected in the size of
the vessels is brought about by an in
stantaneous j action of the - nervous
system, Thia action may be induced by
a thought or unconsciously by the oper
ations of impressions producing the
phenomenon habitually. In a word
blushing may become a habit, and it
then beyond the control of the will, ex
cept in so far as the will can generally, if
not always, conquer any habit. It ia al
most always useless.and certainly seldom
worth while to strive to cure a habit of
this class directly. The most promising
course is to try to establish a new habit
which will destroy the one it baa desired
to remedy. For example, if blushing is.
as generally happens, associated with
self consciousness, we must establish the
sway of the will over that part of the
nervous system which controls the size
of the vessels by calling up a feeling op
posed to self consciousness, j It is
through the mind these nerves are in
fluenced. Then influence them in a con
trary direction by antagonizing, the
emotion associated ' with ; blanching
Thus, if tbe feeling which causes t!ie
blushing be expressable by the thought,
"Here am l in a false and humiliating
position," oppose or still better, aotioi- i
pate and prevent that thought by think
ing, here you are daring to pity or
feel contempt for another." Avoid go
ing on to think what that "other" is, be
cause the object must be to eliminate
self. Constitute yourself the champion
of some one, any one, and everybody
who may be pitied, and the ever zealous
and indignant foe of those who presume
to pity. Most persons who blush with
self consciousness blanch with anger ,and
this artificial state of mock anger will
soon blanch the face enough to prevent
the blush. It only requires practice in
the control of the emotions and the pro
duction of the different states at will; the
sort of expertness required by actors and
actresses to secure control of these sur
face phenomena.- Blushing and blanch
ing are antagonistic states may be em
ployed to counteract each other, control
of the physical state of the blood-vessels,
being obtained through the emotions
with which they are associated. London
