WITHIN THE WOOD.
BY KATE CtTI'K.
The settirg ton'i pile, flickering ban
Fall softly o'er the qaiet lane;
The bustle of tbe day la done,
And all's at peace again.
The borders of tbe path are fringed
With tufa or sheeny, springing grass,
Which ware their em'xald banners as
Tbe playful breeies pass.
How dear to me this peaceful wood!
How often down Us mossy ways
We're played, and sang and rambled, in
Our merry, childhood days!
How oft we Te searched its nooks to find
The first sweet messenger of spring!
How oft we've listened, mute and still,
-To hear the robin sing!
And as the years rolled by, to us
This old wood sweeter, dearer grew ;
The hours we passed within its aisles
On rosy pinions flew, i
For, 'round our young, unconscious hearts,
a magic spell was subtly wove;
We knew it not. until one day
We woke, and found 'twaa Lore!
Ah. mt! Ah, m ! I'll ne'er forget
That lovely day we found it out;
Within the wood forget-me-nots
Were blossoming aoout
I plucked a little bloom, and said:
It
seemed the color of tout eyes.
And berred TO
ou to look up awnue
That I might match their dyes.
The sunbeams le in lingering love
Upon your fair head's golden crown:
How rich the rose bloomed in your cheek
. How shyly you looked down!
But when, for just one little space,
Your wistful eyes looked into mine,
An, then I knew my heart was yours,
And yours, dear love, was mine !
What more is left for me to tell?
Ab, many years since then hare flown!
Tbe golden crown upon your head
To silver now has grown. ,
Tbe rose has withered in your cheek.
To bloom more richly in your heart.
Which love's sweet chains still bind to mine
bo close that nauht can part. .
IN THE WRONG HOUSE.
It was in Boston. , The first snow of
the season had fell the night before, and
the cold was dashing it off the tops of the
high buildings, filling the air wttn tiny
particles that glittered like diamonds in
the bright sunshine. It wasn't qnite so
pleasant to have it come with a rush light
into one's face, but every one was merry
and brisk this morning, and why should
not the -wind be so too? Two bright
faced girls were rapidly threading their
wav through the crowds that thronged
aronnd the great dry goods stores. For
an hour they had been flitting from place
to place, attending to matters important
or otherwise, hovering over iwi pretty
things piled high upon the counters, but
laughingly shaking their heads over
their empty purses.
"I shall have to appoint myself your
guardian, Alice, and put a veto on your
buying what yon don't need." And the
speaker linked her arm with that of her
companion, and drew her toward the
door.
"I ought to be grateful, fori am in
; debt now. and I really ought not to
spend a cent. Drd you ever see such a
good-natured crowd? Now, you have
that call to make, and while you go
there I will run in and see Mollie. Don t
Btay long, will you, Grace?"
"No, I won't. What a wind ! I should
think it came straight from Labrador.
This was rightly named Winter street!
Here, give me your hand. Let us get
into the snnshine somehow, as quickly
as we can.
Hand in hand, laughing, breathless,
with heads bent to meet the fierce winds
that came tearing around the corner, the
cousins struggled forward until they
gained the corner, where Alice halted for
breath; but Grace ran on, across Tre
mont street, and stood in the flooding
sunlight, waiting for her companion.
"Which way Bhall we go?" asked
Alice, when they were together again.
"Up Park street or across the Common?"
"Across the Common, by all means,"
said Grace. "I go out of my way, when
in Boston, to walk on the Common. It
is such a relief to me to escape from the
cold shadow of the high buildings.1'
So on they went, with faces bo bright
from the cold air and their merry hearts
that all who met them smiled and went
their ways more blithely. Suddenly
their path was blocked by the snow, oj
which men were still at work. An un
broken white expanse lay between them
and their goal.
"Three alternatives," exclaimed Grace
gayly; "to wade through this snow,
which looks rather deep; to wait till the
mdn finish the path for us, or to take
this path over to Park street."
"In view of the lateness of the hour,
perhaps we had better make a concession
-. . . . . . - it -. ,,, ,
ana tace tne last, oee, mere is xaoine s
louse. You see the house with the roof
ligher than the others?"
"Yes." said Grace, not very decidedly.
v"Well. it is the third house from that.
If you finish your call first you can stop
for me, or vice versa, I will go to meet
you. Now don't stay long."
And they parted, Alice keeping on
down Beacon street in the sunshine,
Grace turning north over the hill.
Neither had far to go from the corner
where they separated, and Grace was
soon waiting for admittance at her
friend's door. Tbe servant who took the
card returned presently with the intelli
gence that her mistress was quite unable
to see any one. So it happened that in
a few moments Grace was upon the
street.
"This is nice," she said to herself as
she retraced her steps. "Alice will not
harry herself, and in the meantime,
what is to become of me? I do not wish
to shorten her call. I will walk down
the street very slowly and try to kill
time."
What an exquisite picture it is! And
truly it was beautiful. "The leafless
trees on the Common lifted the delicate
tracery of their branches against the
cloudless sky. The. newly fallen snow
lay, still spotlearf on the streets and
house-tops. Along the few paths that
had been opened on the Common people
passed and repassed. The roar and rush
of the great city came softly to the ear
across the white plain. Near at hand the
State House raised its shining dome high
in the air, and the tinkle of sleigh bells
and the merry shouts of children added
life and interest to the scene.
"I am getting somewhat tired of this
promenade, although I doubt if there
could be found a pleasanter place for it
in all the citj. What house did Alice
say? I'm sure I don't know. If I walk
slowly past this club house a few more
times I shall oreate a sensation. That
will not do at all. Let me try -street."
Bat as she turned the corner the north
wind met her, and her feet slipped dan
gerously on the icy pavement.
"Can't stand this, in more senses than
one. Why doesn't that girl appear. If
it wasn't for the snow now, I might walk
in the Common in the most unnoticeable
way possible. I will cross over and
study those roofs. What did Alice say?
What a stupid not to ask her the num
' ber. But, then, I shouldn't have heard
it if she had told me. Serves me right
for giving such careless attention to
what people are saying. I declare I do
, not even know her friend's name. Mol
lie, Mollie what? I ought to know. I
have heard her name often enough when
i nave been nere before, one was one
of Alice s classmates, but she did not
mention her last name this morning.
Shall I try it?"
Grace, who had been carefully sur
veying the house that she was approach
ing, suddenly loojtea very determined,
mounted the steps and rang the bell.
The door was opened almost instantly
by a diznified old servant in livery.
.1 beg paraon n j. am maaing a mis
take," she began, in her most, winning
voice. "Indeed, I am quite at a loss to
explain myself. Has a young lady called
here within a half hour to see a friend, a
Miss Mollie ? My cousin did not
mention her name." And she paused
with an embarrassed half -smile. But
the old servant had already shaken his
head.
"No, Miss; no one has called. I know.
because I have been right here all the
time."
"Then I have made a mistake. I am
sorry to have troubled you. But could
you, possibly" she hesitated.
"I think there is a young lady next
door," indicationg the house with his
hand. "We have no young ladies in this
family.
"Thank you" aloud. To herself:
"That accounts for a slight trace of
crustiness in your bearing, my dear sir.
However, you treated me very well for
a tramp
Should she dare again? Her blood
was up. The merry mood of the morn
ing had not passed. I would be no worse
than this horrid promenading, and she
might find her.
This time the door was opened by a
pleasant faced young mulatto, who
seemed instantly to appreciate the situa
tion, for a suppressed twinkle in his eye
answered to the smile that, do what she
would, Grace knew was twitching In the
corners of her mouth.
"I beg pardon, she said, with an air
of frankness that would have disarmed
the5 most suspicious mind. "My cousin,
Miss Raymond, left me to call on a
friend, while-1 made another call in the
near neighborhood. My cousin pointed
out the house to me, but really I do not
know the house, the number, or her
friend's name. She called her only
Mollie. Is there a Miss Mollie ? Has
a Miss Raymond called? You see, I
It is really very absurd," and the young
lady ended with a little appealing ges
ture of the hands that would have done
credit to a Frenchwoman.
The young fellow smiled, yet very re
spectfully.
"There is a Miss Mollie, he said.
"There is a Miss Mollie " he said.
Grace looked relieved. Bat she was not
yet sure.
"A lady may have called," he contin
ued, "although I did not see her. Miss
Mollie is in New York." ,
"Oh, then," began Grace, preparing to
retreat. But he went on:
"If you will step into the
parlor, if
you please, Miss, l will go and inquire.
"I thank you. I am Borry to trouble
you," j
"How utterly ridiculous this is," she
said to herself, as she took the proffered
seat in a most elegant apartment. "To
think that I, Grace Carter, should be in
such a scrape as this! That man is a
true gentleman. How does he know
what I may intend to carry off in my
pocket while he is gone? What would
Alice " j i
The sound of a half suppressed cough
in another part of the room startled her.
She became conscious that she had been
thinking aloud. Throwing, for the first
time, a rapid glance around the room
her eyes met those of a gentlemen who
was almost hidden from her view by an
angle of the room, and the deep chair in
which he was sitting. He rose from his
seat, seeing himself discovered. Grace
arose also, turning toward the door, for
she heard the sound of returning steps.
"The lady is not here. Miss; I am
nojry."
All Grace thought of now was to get
out of her awkward position as soon as
possible. The gentleman advanced to
offer assistance, but Grace, rapidly and
somewhat inooherently uttering her
thanks andUapologies to the servant, fled,
and drew jt long breath of relie. as she
reached tne sidewalk once more.
"I feel as if I had lived an age. and it
is fifteen minutes since I blundered into
the first place. If that girl does not ap
pear before I reach the next corner I
shall go home without her. There she
is, this very minute, blissfully uncon
scous of the mischief I have been into."
"How nice; you are just in time,
Graoe. I told Mollie you might call for
me, and I have been listening for the
bell for some time. ' Did you have a
pleasant call? Mollie was looking very
lovely this morning; she had on a flew
wrapper that is extremely becoming."
"Mrs. Benton was indisposed, so that
I did not see her at all," said Grace
rather grimly.
Alice looked up and caught a queer
expression on her cousin's face. "Why,
what have you been doing all this time?"
she asked.
"Grace hesitated. "Can you keep it
to yourself, if I tell you something?"
"Yes, indeed!"
"Well, then, I have been making
morning calls on New Year's day upon
the elite of Beacon street, Boston!"
"Grace Carter?"
"Precisely, that is just what I say."
And half-laughing, half-rueful, she told
the whole story.
Meanwhile, the gentleman who had
been so suddenly disturbed in his quiet
doze did not seem inclined to return to
his chair.
"You say she gave her cousin's name
as Miss Raymond, Alfred?"
"Very well. That will do. How long
before dinner? I think I will go to the
store after dinner. My head seems to
be better."
"What a face that girl had!" he con
tinued, when left alone. "She is not a
Bostonian. A needle in a haystack! Yet
I am bound to find her, and I will. Ray
mond; that is all I have to guide me."
Alfred went away chuckling to him
self: "Mr. Frank's struck at last. With
a country girl, too. But she's a little
lady, that's a fact!" But Mr. Frank
went to the store and studied the directo
ry with great care.
He had been invited to a little New
Year 8 party that evening, and as it' was
to be a very quiet, informal affair, he
had consented to going, for, although
belonging to one of the most aristocratic
and wealthy familes in the city, he was
no society man. He wished now that he
had not promised to go. for he wanted to
take steps toward beginning his soaroh
for the apparition of the morning.
J? ortune favors the brave. As Mr.
Ellis turned away after paying his re
spects to his hostess, his eyes met thoee
very eyes that had looked into his that
very morning in his mother's parlor,and
although they were instantly turned
Bway the swift rush of color showed that
he was recognized. With an adroit ex
cuse about a "striking resemblance," he
soon gained the desired introduction and
made himself so agreeable to the young
lady that Grace found her determination
to be frigidly polite had gone, and ere
long the two were chatting together like
old friends to the utter astonishment of
all present who knew Ellis. Among his
companions he was considered little short
of a "woman hater," and there he sat
completely engrossed by a little, plainly
dressed country girl, with merry gray
eyes.
.
The months fly swiftly, and again it is
on the eve of the New Year. Come with
me to a house in one of the pleasant
suburbs of Boston. A few snowflakes
are beginning to fall. Look! The door
is opened and a servant stands on the
threshold, and, shading his eyes, peers
into the surrounding gloom to see if
there is promise of a storm. We reoog
nize Alfred. .Let us sup past him into
the warmth and light of the hall, and
look into the drawing room, where the
ruddy fire-light is dancing on the wall.
Two persons are standing before the
open Are, and the taller has his arm
thrown carelessly around the slight fig
ure at his side.
"Grace, my darling," he is saving
'I can never be thankful enough that

A MEXICAN GIRL'S REVENGE.
On the night of January 21, 1880, the
authorities of Pueblo, Mexico, were no
tified that a murder had been committed
in a quarter of the city known as "Cale-
bria." This localitv was known as the
resort of characters of the vilest stamp,
and hardly a day passed that police in
terference was not necessary. When the
official arrived at the rickety building
where the crime had been committed. the
browd of people had become dense. As
cendincr tbe steps, he entered a small
room, which contained but a few articles
of furniture: the most prominent of
which was a bed in one corner of the
room. "To this a young girl with dishev
eled hair and wild staring eyes rushed as
the officer entered and pointed to some
thing that lay thereon, while with the
other hand she held the candle over her
head. Her look was wild and fearful,
and her form trembled from head to
foot.
The officer started back at the sight
which met his gaze. There lay a woman
covered with blood, her face upturned,
and her eyes fixed andglassy in death.
The contortions of her features told that
she had died by violence and in terrible
agony, while the similarity with that of
the girl beside her was still visible on her
face.
"She was my sister," said the girl,
"and her paramour murdered her.
The words came hissing through her
pale, curled hps, and her eyes gleamed
with a fiend like fire. Placing her hand
in her bosom, she drew forth a beautiful
dagger. And a cold, derisive smile over
spread her features as she remarked,
with her dark eyes shooting shafts of
mocking scorn at the officer when he
asked the name of the villian who com
mitted the fatal deed.
"Never mind his name; I'll be her
avenger. No mock court of justice will
deal with him. His family are rich and
have influence. I loved my sister very
much, and this terrible deed has almost
crazed me. I will soon be myself again,
and then, by the Almighty God! I will
take a vengeance that will be terrible to
relate. In conclusion, I will ask you to
see that she is decently buried.and I will
repay you at some future time.
When she had concluded she left the
room, saying that she would return di
rectly. But that was the last seen of her.
1 a V - i
me Dody was UDsequentiy ouried in
accordance with the wish of the sister,
and though the case received the strict
est investigation.no clew to the murderer
of Senora Barberia or the whereabouts
of her sister Angelique could be ob
tained.
Time passed on, and amid the muta
bility of affairs the matter was gradually
forgotten in the minds of the public.
Some two years later the same detec
tive who had investigated tbe murder of
Senora Barberia was intrusted with the
charge of arresting a notorious forger
who had recently been plying his avo
cation with great success. Taking his
seat one night in the Folly Theater, he
quietly awaited the opening of the per
formance. While thus seated his atten
tion was attracted by a strikingly beauti
ful woman in one of the boxes. There
was a slight boldness in her manner and
an abandon in her dress which stamped
her to the initiated eye as one who was
not accustomed to rectitude.
The detective thought he recognized
the countenance, but for the time could
not remember where or under what cir
cumstances he had met the woman. She
was accompanied by a young and hand
some girl of about nineteen, and it was
quite evident that her sphere was of the
highest order of society. Accompayning
the ladies was a man fashionably attired,
but having the traces of excessive dissi
pation. . Having satisfied herself that
she had iattracted the attention of the
detective, the elder of the two ladios
smiled as if in recognition. She then
took a card from her portemonnaie,wrote
a few words upon it, returned it to its
place, and, looking significantly at the
door, drew back into the box. Vhen
the curtain fell the detective hastened
out and taking ais stand at the lobby
awaited developments. As the trio
passed out into the vestibule the hand
some lady lingered behind, and as she
passed the detective she handed him her
portemonnaie, and, smiling sweetly.hur
riedly walked out into the crowd. To
the detective's surprise he found 260 in
the portemonnaie, and a card, upon the
back of which was periled the follow
ing: "Please accept this small sum as part
payment for tbe burial of my sister. Now
that you have seen again the avenger of
that sister's wrongs, you will ia a short
time hear of her vengeance.
Anqeliqtje."
Just off themain street in Pueblo
there is a row of stuccoed pretentious
villas, all steps and porticos which stare
down upon humbler neighbors with vul
gar display. About midway down the
street, and in this row, is a dwelling over
the faccia of which is inscribed, "Senora
Freshillo, Cigarette and Wine Divan."
Here is the elite of the demi-monde ren
dezvous, and the midnight orgies which
nightly take place can scarcely be de
scribed. On the morning of February 18, 1882,
the city was thrown into the wildest ex
citement by the announcement that a
horrible murdar had been committed at
Senora Fresnillo's bagnio, and that the
jwhole matter was shrouded in the deep
est mystery. The victim was a young
and handsome girl, acid she lay upon the
bed with a dagger wound upon her left
breast.
Upon investigation, it was found that
the girl was the daughter of a rich and
prominent gentleman of the city, and
had been brought to a life of shame by
the machinations of a woman who was
well known throughout the whole city
by the name of Angelique. The where
abouts of the latter could not be ascer
tained, and this fact alone pointed strong-
y to per as the murderer. When the
same detective viewed the body he im
mediately recognized in the murdered
girl the same whom he saw in company
with Angelique in the box at the theater.
After a fruitless search for the murderer
the matter was finally left in abeyance,
and for a time forgotten.
Some months later the detective re
ceived one morning in his mail the fol
lowing letter:
"You were reminded that you would
soon near of the vengeance oi tne sister
ef Senora Barberia. The girl who was
recently murdered in the house of Signo
ra Fresnille was one ot her victims. She
was the Bister of the wretch who betrayed
and then murdered my sister. The same
dagger that was buried to the hilt in my
sister 8 heart did the work in th3 other
case, uut my vengeance is not complete.
My next victim is the villain Miguel
Soares. Justice shall be satisfied and
infamy avenged. Anoelique."
Soares was a well known libertine,
whose career of dissipation had bowed
his family with obloquy. He still pur
sued his course of ignomy and shame,
not knowing how soon the fatal dagger
was to fall on him and send him to meet
his victim in another world. The mys
teries of the murders and the attending
circumstances were never known but by
three persons the general of the police,
the murderess and the detective.
One night in the latter part of Novem
ber last he detective happened to be
passing through one of the leading thor
oughfares of the city, when he met Mig
uel Soares, accompanied by a tall, com
manding woman, dressed elegantly and
heavily veiled. His suspicions were im
mediately aroused, and he determined
to follow the couple. j
Taking the opposite side of the street,
the detective followed the two until they
reached a small park in a fashionable
quarter of the city. Concealing himself
behind one of the trees, he breathlessly
awaited developments. i
"Probablv you will be delighted to
know who 1 am. a
"I will satisfy my curiosity, however,
said Soaies, as he tore the veil from the
woman s face. The bright ravs of the
moon fell upon a pair of black eyes
which glared upon Soares with a fiendish
fire, and he started back as he recognized
that face. "Angelique Barberia!' he
gasped, "what what brings you here?"
"To have your life, Miguel Soares!
she hissed, in a tone that trembled with
passion.
"Do you recognize this dagger?
"It is mine!" gasped Soares.
"It is yours, iadeed, Miguel Soares!
found it in the heart of my sister, where
you left it. Now, take it back, but
let your hoart be its sheath. Thns do
complete my work.
The detective sprang from his hiding
place at the same moment that Soares
fell to the ground with a groan. Angel
ique dashed through the shrubbery and
tied across the park. Placing Soares,
who had breathed his last, upon the
grass, the detective gave chase. After a
fruitless chase, he was obliged to give
up and return to the corpse.
A couple of days after he received the
following note: tT
"I am now on my wawto a foreign
country, and any search for roe will re
suit only in a waste of time. I have ful
filled my oath, and henceforth will seek
to find that repose which seclusion alone
affords. Adieu,
"ANGEIilQTJE.
Though a vigilant search was immedi
ately instituted, no trac8 of the murder
ess has ever yet been obtained, and her
whereabouts is as impenetrable a mys
tery as were for a long time the mysteri
ous murders of which Bhe alone was the
key.
Clara Belle on Manners.
Speaking of the manners of good so
ciety, questions of social usage puzzle a
great many women, judging by the let
ters that are forwarded to me asking
me about such matters. Most of them
relate to cards and weddings, and 1 may
be instructive generally in answering
several of them. If the bride has sent
you wedding cards you should call upon
her in her new relation. If she sent out
no cards you may call, and leave her to
decide whether she wishes to keep up
the social interchange of visits by return
ing yours. If you do not wish to con
tinue the acquaintance, that is, to keep
up formal visiting, you can drop it at
this time as appropriately as at any. It
is perfectly proper for a young woman on
assuming new social obligation as a wife
to revise her own visiting list and take
proper means to retain only those names
to which she may feel herself able to do
social justice .'.An unmarried woman who
has no older sister unmarried has "Miss"
on her cards, without her initials or her
first name. On returning to your home
after long absence send your cards to
those whom you wish to have call upon
you. If you intend to remain in the
town where you are, send out card s to
every one whom you wish to know, men
tioning the day and hour at which you
will be at homo to receive them, and
offer some light refreshments, like tea
and cakf, at five o'clock. It is correct
for a widow to havo her christian name
on her visiting cards. A card with "ac
ceptance" written or engraved upon it is
vulgar. Write a punctilious note in the
third parson, accepting or declining. If
a card is turned down in the corner it
means that the visitor called in person.
The man who is a stranger to the wo
man should leave a card for her as well
as the man who has taken him to call. It
is a visit whether 6he is at home or not.
Both should leave cards." A girl about to
ce married does not put P. P. C. on her
cards. Write your regrets or acceptance
of an invitation on a sheet of note paper
and put it in an envelope directed to the
person who invites you. Unless you are
to send it by post one envelope is enough.
Do not write regrets or acceptance on
your visiting card; that is vulgar. It is
proper to send a card to the bride if you
do not call in person, but it is better to
call, and especially must you call on her
mother, who invites yon. The best form
for acceptance is the simplest: "Miss
Smith has much pleasure in accepting
the polite invitation of Mrs. Brown for
Thursday, the 15th." The ushers at d -y
weddings are again wearing pearl-colored
kid gloves with a black stitching on
the back. Tbe coat is a black cloth
Prince Albert frock, and the trousers are
dark gray. Their cravats may be white
Ottoman, black, or a dark color, but
must be uniform, whatever color is
chosen. Tbe bride and groom must
wear gloves, but the groom must not
wear a dress suit in the day time, no
matter how the bride is dressed. It is
not necessary to send acceptances of in
vitations to" weddings unless the card
contains the request to respond. Where
from 200 to 500 cards are sent out, the
formal response to each one would be a
nuisance. The broper acknowlelge-
mect lis a gift and congratulations if
presence on the occasion is impossible.
Of course, if it is a small, at-home wed
ding, where provision is made for sit-
down dinner or supp.r, the case becomes
somewhat different, as only intimate
friends are invited, and it is desirable to
know approximately the number that
will be present. But the cabalistic let
ters, R. S. V. P., were invented as an
intimation that reply is something de
tired, and wonld not have ever been used
if life was long enough to send and re
ceive replies to all notes of invitation.
