WHERE THE WRINKLE i COME PROM.
'Wier8 do the wrinkles come from?"
And the Joyous little Grace
Looked gravely In the mirror
At her rose-tinted face.
Where do the wrinkle coma from?
Why-, nret, dear, 1 tuppoae.
The heart lew in a sorrow, .
And then the wrinkle growa,
"Then acger comes ft Upplng,
And the Heart's door openi wide
Then hasten nauvhty envy -And
discontent and pride.
"And the wrinkles follow slowly;
For the face ha for it part
To tell Jurt what is doing
Down in the secret heart. "
"And the red lip lose their sweetness.
And draw down so." said Grace;
"And the lovely, youthful angel
Goes slowly from the face."
"Watch the gate or the heart, dar'log.
Kor the heart is the dwelling place
Of the musical angel of beauty.
Whose smile is seen in thy face."
A LADY HELP.
Her father. Commander Dundonald
Poppinger, had the grin boat Iris when
his wife presented him with a little black
browed, dark-eyed daughter. So, against
the dictates of her own taste, wlucn
would have led her to give some more
appropriate name to the olive-skinned,
idark eyed stranger, . Ulrs. Poppinger
acceded to her husband's request, and
had the baby baptized 'Iris, and as Iris
; she grew up. At this time her father
died, and her mother was left to glory in
; his memory and a pension of seventy
i ponnds a year. Things that were ap-
palling to the girl were said to and of
' her then by rich relatives, who assumed
the right to criticise and direct her life,
but who never gave her a shilling to help
to make that life a respectable one. Iris
went as unpaid drndge to her mother's
rjch cousin s wife, livery one who Knew
little about her, and heard her speak o:
herself, said this lady was a most estim
able woman, quite a model British ma
tron.
"This is an experiment merely i re
member, about Iris PoppiDger," she ex
plained to her circle when it was settled
that Iris should come to stay at the
Witheringtons house in Connaught
Place, as lady help to the wealthy city
merchant s wife. "This is an expen
ment merely. I don't feel myself bonud
to keep Miss Poppinger if she proves
useless to me; if she has a well-regulated
xuind, ehe will be so thankful for the
blessing of a much more comfortable
home than she has ever known, that she
will strive to be humble and useful."
"Come, come, now," her husband
said, half jocularly, but with feeling
nevertheless: "Iris isn't coming here to
be a drudge, you know, my dear; you
must remember the girl has been wel
brought up, and you well: you must be
considerate ana ma&e allowances ior
i
her.H I
Mrs. Witherington had the reputation
of being a Tartar in her. household
Therefore her husband thought it wel
to pour a little oil upon the troubled
waters, on which poor Iris would shortly
sail.
"I shall do my duty by your cousin's
daughter, Mr. Witheringtou; have no
fear of that," she said, with au air o
overtaxed patience. "I do not bring any
one from my side of the house into our

serpent into Paradise."
"Why, bless my soul! Iris is bnt a girl
with no more of the serpent about her
than than you have, my dear, Mr
Witherington said warmly. And Mrs
Witherington smiled coolly, and said
"We shall see."
Iris .was received very Kindly in her
new home. That is, the Witheringtons
were going out to dinner when she ar
rived, cold and hungry, at 7 o'clock in
the evening, at her new home; but Mrs.
"Withering ton's own maid (who looked
upon Iiis as a rival) gave her some tea
and toast. Her bedroom was large.
"If I could get by a fire," the poor girl
said pleadingly to Bond, the maid.
"Well, I don't know what tkeir wishes
are about your going down stairs yet,"
the maid said, circumspectly; "but Mrs.
Witherington wouldu't hear of afire in
ydur room, that I know. When you've
taken off your things you might come
into Mrs. Witherington's dressing-room
with me."
"I think I am too tired," Iris said,
choking baok all Bemblance of feeling
hurt as well as she could. But the task
was a little hard for her. Was she to be
the waiting woman s companion?
"I'll be that, 111 be anything; I'll put
' my neck under the yoke to any extent
to help mother, to make things easier
for mother I" the poor child said to her
self that night after Her prayers had
been said, and she had crept dispiritedly
into bed. And the next morning it
seemed as though she were to be imme
diately rewarded for her brave resolve,
for Mrs. Witheringtou came to her quite
early and kindly said:
"Iris, I hope you slept well, and I
uuuo juu lit y o leiueiuuereu tut vuu uwo
Mr. Witheringtors? We do not ask for
any earthly reward for the good we do,
but still I would not have you ungrate
ful or careless about the benefits you re
serve. You are to stay in bed and have
your breakfast comfortably this morning.
I never expected too much of anyone,
and your journey may have fatigued you.
When you are dressed come to me in my
dressing room, and I'll appoint you
some of your duties:"
- "I'd rather get up now," Iris cried:
I'm not fatigued. I hate breakfast in
bed. I'm reay for my duties."
Mrs. Witherington lifted np a con
cientiously kept plump hand, and
shook it warmly.
"You muSt subdue that unruly tem
per and tongue. Iris; you must learn to
be grateful and humble in your de
meanor toward those who befriend you
at the cost of muoh trouble and anxiety
to themselves; I am afraid you have not
been taught to keep yourself in subjec
tion. You will have yonr breakfast in
your own room this morning, and after
it, in two hours' time, you will come to
me."
She sailed out of the room as she said
this, leaving behind her a general im
pression of fatness and floriduess, and of
feline cautiousness. Had she waited a
minute longer, Iris would have asked
to be allowed to go out and take a little
walk in the fresh air in the park. The
thought of breakfast was repugnant to
her. But Mrs. Witherington did not
grant her this minute for action.
The fact was, Mrs. Witherington had
planned her arrangements rather too
closelv. Bond, her maid, was an expen
sive luxury; therefore, when Mrs. With
erington agreed to take Iris into her
house as lady-help she determined at the
same time to get rid of Bond, and make
Iris assume Bond's duties. But she did
not wijh Iris to be alarmed by Bond's
report either of these duties or of the
one who exaoted them. Therefore, she
had settle'd that' Bond should leave the
house in the afternoon f the' day on
which Iris was to arrive in the evening.
But Bond had fathomed Mrs. Withering-
ton's motive, and had malignantly de
feated it.
However. Iris had given the maid no
opportunity of talking of ber wrongs
and her mistress s meanness on the pre
vious night; and, having aster tained this,
Mm. Witherington was resolved that she
could not have the chance of doing so
this morning. Accordingly she kept
Iris a prisoner in her room until -Bond
could be gently expelled from the house.
This done, Mrs. Witherington felt that
she had it in her to. induct Ins into
Bond's place so cleverly and cautiously
that the girl would not realize tnat sne
was only a lady's maid. Bond, who was
taking away a very much better charac
ter than she deserved by reason oi ner
mistress's ardent desire to get rid of her
peaceably, was very perverse about be
ing sped on her way. one lingered
longer than usual over the thankless
ink of adorning her mistress's ill-favored
head with; morning lace. Her "hands
trembled so." she asserted, pnlhng Mrs.
Witherington 8 locks sharply as she
spoke, "that she really coaidn t get on;
the thought of how that inexperienced
young person would fail to set off Mrs
Witherington to the best advantage, up
set herhorful."
To this Mrs. Witherington suavely re
plied that she "thanked Heaven she had
not personal vaniry, ana mat u ii were
not for pleasing Mr. Witherington, and
helping to keep up their exalted posi
tion, she would by preference wear the
unassuming print instead of tne sumptu
ons satin or rich piled velvet."
"If I could see the young person lor
half an hour I could put her in the way?"
Bond suggested, but at length Bond was
evicted, and Mrs. w unenugiou pre
pared to install Ins in the vacant place.
Humility and gratitude these were
the virtues that Mrs. Witherington
Drized most highly in those around her
and she made them her theme during her
first hour's intercourse with Iris. At the
end of her harangue she suddeuly as
sumed a pleasantly bustling air, which
was at least a relief to Iris after the por
tentous demeanor of the last hour.
"I like my house to be like a hive-
full of busy bees." she commenced
briskly. "Now, Iris by-the-way.
haven't vou another name? Iris is too
absurd." ' .
"It is my only name; therefore, absurd
as you may think it, you will have to call
me by it, Iris said quietly.
"I think I shall call you Poppinger.
"I think you will not," the girl said so
decidedly that Mrs. Witherington
thought she would surrender tha
point.
"Well, now, Iris, you begin to be one
of my busy bees at once. I have been
very caref nl in having the duties of
lady-help laid down for my guidance
You will assist me at my toilette, keep
my wardrobe in perfect order, and wash
all my laces and fine things. When you
consider what a home you will have here
when you remember what boundless
gratitude you owe to Mr. Witherington
for maintaining you, your heart wil
throb gladly, and you will own that little
enough is expected of you m return
"What wages am I to have?" Iris
asked, looking Mrs. Witherington in the
face. ,
"Wages!" J
"Yes, wages! Servants always have
them, and I shall be a servant while I
live here."
"No, Jns, no " Mrs. Witherington m
terrupted plausibly, "you will have
nothing of the kind; you will be a "lady
help" mark the word lady-help. You
will not be required to associate with the
other domestics i mean with the ser
vants." '
"Say the 'other servants' ' Iris put in
bluntly.
"No, I will not; you are my lady-help
ana you re going to oe a nice, gooa
little, industrious girl, and relieve your
poor dear mother of a dreadful burden,
Mrs. Witherington said quite encourag
ingly. "My poor dear mother would break
her heart if she knew all this," Iris said,
meditatively, "but she won't know, Mrs.
Witherington. Where are your laces?"
the girl continued, jumping up from her
low chair as she spoke. "I shall tear
them to tatters; still I had better begin
washing them at once."
The girl had a high spirit and a loving
heart. The former would have driven
her into rebellion against Mrs. Wither
ington. The latter made her bear hard
things for her mother's sake. She fell
into the way of doing all that Mrs.
Witherington required of her, and that
lady nourished the fond delusion
she had secured a treasure for life
cheap rate. But all the while Iris
biding her time patiently, in order
that
at a
was
that
her first struggle might be an effectual
and last one.
Soon Bond could not have competed
with her in the deft handling of Mrs.
Witherington's hair, laces or renovated
costumes. Adroit, light-handed, gifted
with taste to a rare degree, she "made
the best" of her task-mistress' personal
appearance in a way that caused a spark
of gratitude to ignite at last in that self
adoring lady's heart. When she had
done this, Iris made a first move.
"Mrs. Witherington," she bejcan one
night, when her. mistress was sitting
exultant before the glass, studying the
good effect of recently plated "old point"
and diamonds on her head, "am I a good
lady's-maid now?"
"There can't be better," Mrs. Wither
ington said enthusiastically. -
"I am glad, for you will give me a
character that will get me what I want."
"What?"
"A character. I am going to get into
some place where 1 can make money to
pay for something I must have."
And what is that?"
"Lessons for the stage."
Then Mrs. Witherington scolded,
stormed, expostulated, pleaded. But
Iris had learned her own value during
this time of iron servitude, snd she stood
out now either for good wages or a good
character.
"Mr. Witherington will sink under
the disgrace of a relation of his going on
the stage, ' his wife urged; but Iris only
laughed.
"I shall not proclam the relationship.
I shall be too much ashamed to acknowl
edge bow a 'relation' has tried to dis
grace and keep me down, if I ever do
get among ladies and gentlemen on the
stage."
"What has put the idea into your
head?"
"Seeing that Miss Tremayne is adver
tising for a year and offering 40 a year
wages. Miss Tremayne wouldn't be the
great actress she Is if she hadn't the
heart to feel for such a poor football of
fortune as I have been."
"Your wicked ambition will bring you
to ruin," Mrs. Witherington said spite
fully, tears of vexation coming into her
eyes at the prospect of losing her "cheap
treasure." "I wash my hands of you,
but the world shall know that you pre
ferred a life of wicked excitement and
temptation to a safe and happy home
with your own relatives."
"Your world and mine will never be
the same luckily for me," Iris said
coolly, and Mrs. Witherington could
have slapped her for being so independ
ent though penniless.
Iris went to the beautiful, popular,
clever Miss Tremayne as maid, and re
mained with her in that capacity one
hour. At the end of that hour the
warm-hearted woman who was at the top
of the tree had learned the story of the
loor little aspirant at the foot of it.
"You shall stay with me as my friend
and pupil, Iris," she said, with all that
gracious grace tiat had made her such a
sovereign lady on the stage, "and as it
will be impossible for you really to
study while your mind is half absent
with your mother and her troubles, those
troubles must be relieved at once. I am
alone in the world; they shall be my
mother and brothers."
For fifteen months Mr. and Mrs. With
erington told all their friends "in con
fidence" that they washed their hands of
Iris, whose conduct and career had
crushed out all sympathy and interest
for her out of their expansive hearts.
At the end of that time Iris made a suc
cessful debut. - Then for another year
she studied harder than ever, always
helped by Miss Tremayne. Then she
"ground ior sir months in email parts
in the provinces. Then Miss Tremayne
brought her out at her (Miss Tremanye s)
own theater withont any preliminary
puff, and Iris touched the people's heart
and taste at once.
The second night of her parformance
the Witheringtons were there, letting
every one near them know that the
young actress was their cousin. . The
next, Mrs. Poppinger received an offer
from her cousin at a moderate income
for life, and at the time he reminded her
that had it not been for his excellent
wife's admirable training of Iris, Iris
would never have been able to approach
Miss lremayne with a proffer of serv
ices. "In fact," he said, "I hope our
dear girl will never forget that this most
gratifying result is entirely due to the
circumstance of her having given Iris a
home and taught her to be useful. This
is a most pleasing reflection to us, and I
trust you will always keep this truth be
fore our dear girl.
So, Iris soared higher and higher, the
Witheringtons eulogized themselves
more and more to their own circle, as
the benefactors and guardian angels o
their "little pet cousin Iris."
A Linen Bag and Elghtetn Seals.
Of all forms of Bussian postoffice cir
cumlocution, the palm, for tediousness
inoongruity, loss of time and money, is
carried off by the formulas and processes
invoked during the dispatch of a regis
tered letter to the United Kingdom
You may send bank notes and even coin
in ordinary envelopes to other conti
nental countries. Your registered letter
to France, Germany or Italy may be
dispatched without any preliminary
"scnneDerei sealing only with five
official seals, each about the size of
two shilling piece. But for money sent
to her Bratanic Majesty's dominions
special precaution must be taken. In
the first place three printed forms mas
be filled np. In one place you furnish
a general statement as to your intentions
with especial reference to your address
and that of the party to whom the mon
ey is sent. In each of the other two are
twelve columns to be filled up. This
task accomplished, you hand the papers
to the clerk, insert your bank notes in
a linen envelope, and having addressed
the latter present it for registration
Alas! you have reckoned without the
postoffice authorities. The envelopes
you are told must be discarded for sotue-
thing more substantial. A bell is rung, a
"chinovnik" comes, disappears, but fin
ally returns, bringing with him a stou
linen bag and two rough pieces of board
The clerk takes j our bank notes, places
them between the board and
squeezes the board into the linen
bag. Thus prepared for him, the pack
age is handed to the chinovnik, who
spends exactly a quarter of an hour in
stitching it up. The bell then rings
again, and a second chinovnik appears.
He carries an official seal in one hand
and a stick of sealing wax in the other.
Sealing wax is tha divinity of the Rus
sian postoffice. You will have to pay
for it, and there is consequently no rea
son why it should be stinted. It is not
stinted. With slow and cautious move
ments, manipulating the stick in the gas
flame as deftly as a Manchester glass
blower making a vacuum tube, the chi
novnik deposits one after another, all
over the back, partly on the front, at the
corners aud at the sides of the package,
eighteen preposterous seals. There is
just room enough for the address, and
when you have written that with a care
ful hand (for ink spreads rapidly on
linen ) you think your troubles are at an
end. Not quite! You first pay for the
sealing wax. Then the clerk, having
made some mysterious marks on the
pickagewith red chalk, weighs it and
informs you there is 2s. 6o. to pay. You
hand the money over the counter and
immediately rush Irom the office, glad
to escape after a detention of between
two and three hours over a process
which, absurdly formal as it was, need
not have occupied more than twenty
minutes. But you are pursued, and it
is only after you have paid the chinov
nik 5(1. more for the linen bag and the
strong boards that you are allowed to
depart. Manchester Examiner.
Barnnm'g White Elephants.
Some months back we noticed that Mr.
Gay lord, Barn urn's agent, had after im
mense trouble succeeded in obtaining
one of the sacred elephants from Siam,
and that he intended to explore Siamese
territory to acquire some other speci
mens of this noble animal. After a long
and painful journey through Siam and
Burmah he managed to bring down to
Monlmein two splendid elephants, both
of the white variety so highly valued by
the Siamese. One was nearly as high as
Jumbo; and the expense of purchasing
him, protecting "this adorable elephant"
(so he was styled in a Siamese docu
ment), and defeating the intention of
some royal emissaries to recover him,
came to over 40,000 rubles. He died
shortly after leaving Penaug for Singa
pore. The other animal, which stood a
trifle over nine feet in height, was choco
late and cream color, with the forehead
and neck white, Mr. Gay lord brought
safely to Singapore, per steamship
Chanda, and on Monday the natives were
astonished to see this splendid creature
pass through the streets on the way to a
prepared abode nigh to the Lock Hospi
tal. We inspected the animal cm Mon
day night, and he was then restive; he
had snapped a ohain almost as strong as a
cable and broken some oocoanut and
other trees quite as thick as a big ship's
mast. He then was removed from the
place fixed up for his abode for reasons
of safety, and he made straight for a
large pond, wallowed therein, and then
rushed out crashing through fences into
the open space back of the race course.
The monster then lay down, and gaye a
feW convulsive kicks, and, to the great
astonishment of the natives, died with
an ease and celerity that ill became such
a mass of flesh and strength- The mo
ment Dr. Gay lord saw the restive state

keepers declared that he was only irrita

were in a cage hard by. The elephant
cost 40.000 rupees, not taking into ac
count the sums spent in bribing the
priests to allow of his removal, and the
trouble connected with transporting him
rom the borders of Siam. The keepers,
two Burmese boys who are novitiates of
some Buddhist order, are inconsolable at
the loss of the creature which is the first
saoi ed elephant . that .ever died abroad
and amid such surroundings. Barnum,
one would imagine, ought to be the per
son who should feel most afflicted over
the loss; but it appears that he aud his
partners are by no means cast down, for
they intend buying in another sacred
animal, if it costs them half a million
of dollars. Mr. Gaylord has the tusks
and trunk of this elephant and the other
one, and that is the only Bolid result he
possesses for an expenditure of over
90,000 rupees. Strait's Intelligencer,

Blaine's Great Memory.
Of Mr. Blaine's distinguished talents
and gifts there is none greater than his
wonderful memory. As illustrative of
this l cannot do better than relate a
story told an acquaintance of mine by ex
Senator Thurman: "In 1876," said
J udge Thurman, "Blaine came to mv
town during his canvass of Ohio for the
Republican ticket ifor president and
made a speech. Of course his audience
was immense and was composed of Dem
ocrats as well as .Republicans. I went
to hear him and after the speaking in
vited him to my house. While I was
talking with him at the place where he
had spoken, 1 saw in the crowd an old
farmer of wealth and consequence, a
client of mine, who is a stanch Bepub
lican. He was regarding with much in
terest the great republican leader, of
whom he had heard so much but never
before seen. I beckoned to him to come
up and said to Mr. Blaine, 'Here is a
prominent man in this section and I
want you to know him.' Bv this time
my man had come up and I said, 'Mr.
Blame, I want to present to you Squire
Jtsrown. iilaine was very .cordial and in
his magnetic way soon had my old friend
perfectly delighted. Squire Brown was
a noted breeder of fine stock,
especially horses, and that day had
driven into town behind a very
pretty pair of four year-olds.
Ulaine took a look at the horse and said,
"Squire, have you ever trained that near
colt? He would make good time if prop
erly hannled.I think. With a few other
words he went away with me and saw no
more of Brown. In 1880 Blaine came
to Ohio and spoke again in my town.
I was on hand. When he had closed his
speech the people came up to speak to
him. Suddenly looking up he saw
Squire Brown at a little distance. The
old man was wondering if Blaine would
remember him. Leaving the crowd
about him, Blaine walked straight to
Brown, and calling him by name shook
hands with him cordially, and after talk
a few minutes said, 'Squire Brown, did
you train that near colt you were driv
ing four years ago when I met you? I
have often thought of that colt
believe that he would have made a
great trotter if properly trained.' Now,"
said Judge Thurman, "it had been four
years since that circumstance occurred.
Blaine had had an immense number of
things to think of in that time, and yet
he recalled the man and remembered
precisely what had happened so long
ago. To my mind it was one of the
most wonderful feats of memory I have
ever known. No wonder Blaine has such
poer as a politician." Mr. Clay is said
to have had a faculty of memory almost
equal to this, but I doubt if it was as
wonderful as that related by Judge
lburman. Washington Herald.
A Notable Meeting.
An official in the Washington postoffioe
is responsible for the following true
story:
Before the war there lived in Pennsyl
vania a large and influential family by
the name of Hurlburt. Several years be
fore the war, the parents having died,
the family became scattered, an elder
brother, Charles, having last been heard
from in Florida.
When the war broke out Albert Hurl
burt joined the union army, and when
the terrible strife was ended he returned
to his home, and subsequently emigrated
to Virginia, where he resided seven
years, and finally drifted to Washington,
where . he obtained a position in one
of the departments. H now holds a
position in the postoffice department,
where he is honored and respected by all
who know or come in contact with him.
It was thirty years or more since the two
brothers met.
Monday morning, Charles, who has
been living in the land of orange fields
in Florida, walked into the stamp divis
ion of the postoffice department and
there sat his brother Albert.
As Charles entered the room the eyes
of the brothers met.
After grasping hands and looking at
each other for Borne time Albert broke
the silence by saying: "There is some
thing about your face that looks familiar,
but I cannot place you."
The elder brother replied: "Don't you
remember Charlie?"
'Charlie who?" said Albert.
"Charlie Hurlburt, your brother," re
turned the elder.
Tte younger was completely unnerved
for an instant, while, with blanched
cheeks and quivering lips, he turned to
his fellow clerks and said: "This is my
brother whom I have bo often spoke to
you about, whom I have not seen for
thirty-one years, and supposed was
dead." The eyes of the elder brother
were suffused with tears, and arm in arm
they left the office together. It was a
touching incident, and will not soon be
forgotten by those who witnessed it.
Charles is now a successful orange
grower in Florida, owning large tracts of
valuable land and in comfortable oir
onmstances. A singular torpedo accident occurred
at Portsmouth, England, on the 6th of
last month. Some dummy torpedo prac
tice was taking place on the Hecla, and
one of the projectiles was put under a
pressure for a run of 150 yards. On
being discharged from the ship it, with
the eccentricity- which characterizes
these weapons, swerved from its in
tended course and struck the yacht
Gussery, moored in the harbor abont
half a mile from the Hecla. The crew
were below at the time and on feeling
the shock they rushed on deck and saw
a Whitehead torpedo, with its tail in the
air boring a hole through the planking
of the yacht about two feet below the
water line. The yacht was promptly
listed to the other side and placed on
the mud, where the hole was temporarily
plugged. The torpedo struck near one
of the frames, otherwise it wonld have
penetrated the planking. The yacht will
be repaired at the expense of the government.
