" It is snch a bother to be poor There had been a lorjff interval of silence in Mrs. Jameson's sitting room, when Gertie made this excla mation. " What is the new bother, Gertie? The pleased voice and tone of kindly inquiry made the young girl oiusu deeply as she replied: r 1 . - j, mamma, never minu: 1 was only thinking aloud." "Thinking of what?" & f . r i i kji some velvet nowers 1 saw yesterday, which just matched this ribbon, and Gertie held up a bon net she was trimming. Velvet flowers are so lovely for a winter bonnet, and this one needs some thing." I am sure it looks nice, Gertie." "Nice," said the girl, scornfully emphasizing the word; "yes it is very nice, and that turned silk is nice, and the short sack made out of your old cloak is nice, and cleaned gloves are nice, and " " Why Gertie!" cried her mother, in a voice of amazement. Lut there is nothing stylish or handsome in cleaned gloves and re trimmed bonnets, and old cloaks turned into sacks, and so I say pov erty is a bother." " Gertie, put away that bonnet and come here. Xow, little daugh ter," said the widow gently, " tell me the meaning of this sudden tirade against poverty; of the restless toss ing I heard from your room last night; of the nervous unquiet of my contented little girl since yesterday?" There was no reply. " Gertie, what did Leon Payne say to you last evening?" " He asked me to be his wife." The words were jerked out hastily. " An. i you answered" "Jane came in to shut up the par lor, not knowing he was there, and she stayed; so he got no answer at all." " But he must be answered, Ger tie, lie has spoken to me and I told him it must rest with you." " Mamma!" this after a long, deep silence. " He is very rich. When he mar ries, his wife can have every luxury. If if it is I, we can have you with us, and Jane need not teach that horrid school anv longer. We were on street the other day, and stopped to look into a jeweler's win dow, and he pointed out the kind of jewels he would wish his wife to wear. I need not wear old silks then, mamma." " Then vou intend to accept his otter ?" I don't know; you see, there is Hairy." " But Harry cannot offer you jew els." " No, poor Harry! If he h-d only three thousand dollars, Mr. Ingra liam would take him into the linn, lie told me all about it last week. But think how long it would take to save three thousand dollars, and of course his wife must save, and pinch, and economize until he is able to spend more freely." " Yes, dear, there would be no variation on the turned cloth and re trimmed bonnets; no velvet flowers, no jewels." 44 But such a noble, true heart; such tender love!" 44 Leon Payne loves you." "As much as he loves anything leyond his own pleasure and com fort. He is so thoroughly selfish, so hard, and thinks so much of himself. It is his wife that must be hadsome- lv dressed, ride in her carriage, and reflect credit upon his choice. Mamma, he loves' me because I am pretty and can sing well, and can manage his house nicely. Harry loves me because it is I." There was a violent jerk at the door-bell at that instant that called her to the door. She came back with flying feet "Two valentines, mamma! I had forgotten it was the fourteenth. "Two?" 44 Yes, oh, mamma, look!" She had torn the cover from a dainty package in her hand and opened a morocco case inside. Up on the black velvet lining lay & par ti re of glittering diamonds, flashing up, where a stray sunbeam fell upon them, into a glorious sea of color." 44 Leon Payne!" cried Gertie. 44 Are they not exquisite?" Mrs. Jameson's lips quivered a little as she looked at her daughter's flushed face and bright eves, and her heart sent up a silent praver for the future, trembling before her eves. 44 Look at the other." she said qui- etlv. 44 Only a copy of verses," said Gertie. 44 Violet eves and all that sort of thing. But are not these dia monds magnificent ? It is the very set I admired so much when we were out the other day." Gertie, it is 11 o clock, and 1 must go to Mrs. Lewis'. Little daughter, you may have callers while I am out." She drew her child into her arms, and looked with anxious love into her eves. Gertie, mv daughter, be true to vour own heart. And so sue leu her. True to her own heart. Gertie Jameson sat down to ponder over those words. The diamonds flashed out their glorious waves of light be fore her eyes; the copv of verses lay open on the little work-table, and Gertie sat musing. Pictures ofth- past came in succession into her memory. It was ten years ago, but she could still remember the day, since her father had been called to the shadow land. The luxnrious country home where she and Jane, her eldest sister were born. Her mother, one of the finest amateur pianists of her time, had begun to teach mnsic, and they had lived upon her earnings until Jane was old enough to take the t. v maiden lingered lovingly. There was no part of her life so pleasant to dwell upon as that where he figured. Long walks and talks, duets over the old piano, chats by moonlight, fire light and gaslight. He was so ten der and loving, so honorable and true, so respectful to her mother, so tender to Jane, and so ready to ad vise or assist Jane's betrothed, a fel low clerk, Who was waiting the turn in fortune's wheel that would enable him to marry. Was not such love as he offered worthy of any sac rifice? Leon Payne came to the scene on ly six months before this musing fit upon Gertie. She had met him at a party and had bewitched him by her pretty piquant beauty, her grace and voice. He had da"zzled her by his h andsome face Harry was not handsome, poor fellow, Gertie sigh edand wealth. But the young girl knew, with a woman's intuition, that under the courtly manners, flattering attentions and devoted air, there was a hard, selfish nature, a cruel jeal ousy and a suspicious and hot tem per. Yet he was so rich, and Gertie knew all the torture and misery of genteel poverty. Be true to your own heart!" she said aloud as she arose and walked the room. 44 Do I love Leon Payne? If he should lose his wealth would I be a true and loving wife to him still? Could I wear old bonnets for his sake?" She took up the diamonds and put them on while she spoke. They flashed brilliantly against the deep crimson of her neat dress and height ened the effect of her young, fresh beauty. 44 If he were poor and ill could I work for him as I could for Har ry?" It burst from her lips in a sort of cry, and she tore off the jewels and replaced them in their velvet bed. 44 I could bear all this for Harrv but not for Leon Payne. I will be true to my own heart." The winter was gliding into spring when Mrs. Jameson sat in a luxuri ous house on street, waiting the coming of two brides. The par lor in which she waited was richly furnished. Velvet carpets covered the floor, velvet curtains draped the windows, long mirrows threw back the light of large chandaliers; costly pictures in heavy gilt frames hung upon the wall. Above large bed rooms were filled with handsomely appointed furniture. In one room, laces, velvets, flowers and silks fit for a royal trousseau filled drawers and wardrobe; the dining-room was spread for a rich and varied repast, and the widow's own dress, though only black silk, was rich and hand somely made. "My little Gertie," said Mrs. Jameson, softly, 44 how will she ever reign over this palace?" A quieter home, but pleasant, too, was waiting for Jane, whose husband had received an anonymous gift that enabled him to accept a business opening long looked upon as an un attainable felicity. But Jane was to spend a few days with Gertie before going to her own home, and the mother looked for two brides, as I said before. It was nearly midnight when the crrriage drove up. Gertie was the first to her mother's arms, and then, as Jane took her place, the little bride stood in the renter of the long parlors pale with astonishment. She had tossed off her bonnet, and the soft grey traveling uress of the mis tress of the house seemed oddly out of place. 44 Where am I?" she gasped at last. "At home, my darling," and her husband passed his arm around her waist. " Home?" 44 It is not such a very long story," he said, looking down into her won drous eyes; "but I did not tell you before, because I wanted to see if you loved me." She nestled close to him, letting her head fall upon his bosom. "The farm, Gertie," he said softly, "was full of oil." 44 Oil!" 44 1 sold it for more money than Leon Payne ever possessed. Now, Pet, run np-stairs; mother will show you the room, and let me see how some of the finery there suits you." 44 But it is nearly midnight." 44 Never mind, we want a queen to preside over this supper." MVs Jameson led the way, while Jane and her husband stood as oe- wildered as Gertie had been, sud denly the bridegroom start id xor- ward to grasp Harry s nana. "Are we not brothers?" said Har rv quietly. There was a little talk then; with husky voices and moist eyes, and Jane was still looking gratetnlly into Harry's face when the door opened and Gertie flashed in. All n,i rn;r a4SS ,ln a larSe seminary, and Gertie to have singing schools ?5:?iej-b?t CVen with these nL T ,ncome was e7 limited. Close economy, self-denial, humble fare and quiet dress, Gertie could recall ranch more distinctly than the wealth her father had squandered. Where did Harry Clarke come up on the scene? Gertie scarcely kne.7 , Ite was a etep-son of her mother s brother, and came to the city to make his fortune. Far away in the central part of Pennsylvania nestled a small farm where Harry was born, where father and mother haf. died, and which was the boy's sole patrimony. The rent of his do main scarcely sufficed to clothe the young clerk, but he had been win ning his way in the house of I. &Co. and now, if he could make three thousand dollars, might be a part ner. The farm might bring part of that sum, where was the rest to come from, queried Gertie. Yet over Harry's memory picture the little COURTESY OF tnTTTTpnermv the light had come back to her eyes the rich color to her cheeks, and the shining siik reveaieu snowy arms and shoulders, while rich lace fell in folds around the sweeping skirts. Upon her clustering curls rested a wreath of white flowers, and rare bracelets clasped "her wrists. She made a low reverence to her husband. - lovely! ne cned, "but, Pet wear the diamonds to-night " 44 What diamonds?" 4The ones I sent you for axalen- tme." 44 You sent me, Harry! I sent them back to Jeon Payne. It was certainly ten years later when, one evening at Mrs. Clarke's reception, Mrs. Leon, Payne said to her, pointing to her jewels: 44 It was the oddest thing about these diamonds. Somebody sent them to Leon for a valentine, years ago. He never could guess where they came from, for, of course, the lady must have been wealthv though why she sent a lady's parure to a gentleman is a mysterv. Are they not lovely, Mrs. Clarke?5' 44 Very lovely," said Gertie, and smiled as she 'thought of the day, ten years ago, when she was true to her own heart. The Sumpter Republican gives this description of a jewel: Among the many visitors who came to our city on Saturday last, to sell their coun try produce was a young lady from an adjoining county, who had chick ens eggs, and butter for sale. Her beauty was transcendent ex cellence. Bright, flashing, intellect nal eyes and face round and rosy, while her calico dress was plain and neatly made fitting beautifully. Her rich black hair flowed in luxuriant richness. Highly educated she con versed fluently and deported herself with becoming modesty. She wore no false bustle or purchased complex ion; had no top-knot on her head. or false fixings to present, but stood in the majestic beauty of a created intelligence that would not yield to the despotic dictates of frivolous fashion. It has been a long time since we gazed upon such a sight. The young men crowded around her wagon with curiosity in their eyes and admiration in their hearts. The old men wept for joy that there was one who had not bowed to Baal. She sold her country produce, went home, milked the cows, cooked sup per for ten farm laborers, and went to church that night with her sweet heart. The recenr distressing cases of trichina spiralis at 1 lint and South Haven, Mich., which resulted so fatally, have been made the subject of a patient and prolonged invest iga t on by the Medical Society of Kal amazoo. Pot-mortem examinations of the bodies of the victims were made, and these loathesome parasites were found in great numbers in the bodies. The pork and ham were also examined, ami found to be alive with them. It was furthermore as certained that in each case ham had been eaten raw. As there are numer ous others liable to eat ham in this condition, we commend to them the following extract from the medical report: Eat no vucooJced or half -cooled hog's jU'.sli. lhe raw flt-sh of the hog, whatever its shape or condition. whether ham. bacon, or pork, salt or fresh, smoked or nnsmoked, is liable to contain this parasite, full of life j and activity that mav soon work a remediless mischief in the human body. Bologna sausage, if pork be in it uncooked, is as dangerous as anv other form of this meat, lhe heat that cooks meat utterly destroys the life and mischievous power of these vermin, and no one need fear any harm if this fact is observed. Ox Shakes. A good story, and all the better in being true, is told of one of our citizens, who let apiece of ground to a man on shares. The man would hire the lot, bnt the own er, doubtful of getting any money of the tenant, proposed to let it upon the promise of receiving half the products. Occasionally during the summer he passed the spot, and was pleased with the cultivation it was receiving and with its goodly show of vegeta bles. Harvest time came and pass ed, and he heard nothing from his tenant, till in response to a hint, the latter sent him one watermelon and three shriveled cucumbers. Indig nant at this shabby treatment he called upon the man and asked him what it meant. "Why, you see, squire," replied the tenant", "the pesky boys stole all vour half but the melon and cucum bers." A Lawyer. It is related of George Clark, the celebrated negro minstrel, that, being examined as a witness, he was severely interrogated by the attorney, who wished to break down his evidence. 44 You are in the negro minstrel business, I believe?" enquired the lawyer. "Yes, sir," was the prompt reply. 44 Ain't that rather a low calling?" demanded the attorney. 44 I don't know but what it is, sir," replied the minstrel, 44 but it is so much better than my father's that I am rather proud of it." 44 What was your father's calling?" 44 He was a lawyer!" replied Clark, in a tone of regret, that put the au dience in a roar. The lawyer let him alone. A good christian seldom sees a wroqg in his neighbor. A pure lake reflects a beautiful sky. A bad man seldom sees a good trait in his neigh bor. An imperfect glass reflects nothing correctly. A perfect mirror reflects nothing but bright and pure images. BANCROFT LIBRARY, err i-i t T-nnnvi T a Canada aud Free Trade. The new receprocity treaty be tween the United States and Canada, of which our dispatches have lately made mention, has the following main provisions: The free admission and inter change of all natural products of the United States and British provinces. American and Canadian built ves sels may carry cargoes and passen gers from any port on the great lakes and river St. Lawrence to any other such port. All canals on either side of the bound ry to be open upon the same condition to citizens of the two coun tries. Lake Michigan to be open to Can adians as the St. Lawrence has been to Americans. Canadians may purchase American vessels and register as Canadians, and Americans may purchase and register Canadian built vessels in like manner. Of these stipulations the first one is by far most wide reaching and im portant, and if Secretary Fish should succeed in obtaining its acceptance by the British government and its ratification by the United States, it would be a triumph of Democratic principles for which our party could afford to forgive many of the sins of President Grant's administration. For, however Democrats may differ and have differed on the currency question, the free trade principle is one of those cardinal doctrines of Democracy upon which our party has always been in theory at least a unit, and which now no more than ever demands its endorsements and support. Of course it is not likely that the principle can be carried out to its fullest extent at once, by mak ing trade free between the United States and the other nations of the world, but it is none the less proper that the system should be modified as rapidly as may be, and that we might as well begin with Canada, our nearest neighbor, and a neigh bor with whom we have such exten sive commercial dealings. There is no doubt, that the experiment will prove a complete success and lead in time to the application of the same principle to our commercial relations with other counties. One of the main arguments in favor of the union of the thirteen States that originally composed this repub lic was to get rid of the tariff in our own country, and the Democratic party has since persistently tried to abolish it altogether. The only rea son for retaining it so long a time was that it seemed to offer the cheap est mode of Collecting taxes. But with the growth of the United States that object has vanished, and the extention of free trade to all the British provinces of America is not likely to diminish our revenues per ceptibly, while it will, without doubt, materially increase the wealth of the nation, and especially of the western farmers, many of whose pro duets' have been virtually excluded from Canada by the high tariff and who in turn, have had to pay most unjust and ruinous taxes on Canadi an exports. S. Louis limes. The enforcement of such a treaty would not onljr be a triumph of Democratic ideas, but would be a long step in the direction of a Conti nental Republic. The benefits which would flow from free trade with Canada would impress upon the peo ple of the United States as well as the Dominion that the blending of their interests in a federal form of Government with the rights of each State sacredly guarded, would be better than to keep up this unnatur al division. A Few Short Lessoks for Ladies.

I know not two female attractions so captivating to men as delicacy and modesty. If possible let your husband sup pose vou think him a good husband, and it will be a strong stimulus to his being so. No attraction renders a woman so agreeable at all times to her husband as cheerfulness and good humor.

Partisan considerations are permitted to over weigh the most convincing test:mo ny. and the rights of the people to select their own representatives are trampled under foot by the highest legislative body in the land, which, by its official acts, has repeatedly encouraged the corruption of the ballot-box, as President Grant has done presistently and systematically. When the pretence upon which a de feated candidate belonging to the dominent party, urges his claim for a seat is too barefaced even for the Administration majority to recognize, the difficulty is usually overcome by permitting the fraudulent to take his ent without prejudice to the right of the legally elected member to contest it, and then staving off inves tigation until nearly the end of the term. Thus the notorious ballot box stnffer, ,W. T. Clark, of Texas, was permitted to occupy the seat of Mr. Giddings during nearly the whole term of the forty second Con giess; and thus Sypher, of Louisi ana, a disreputable carpet-bagger, who bases his claim to be considered a Congressman upon certificates pur porting to be from negroes, saying that they were prevented from vot ing for him certificates that Syph er's own agent has testified before a Congressional committee were forg eries is allowed to vote and serve on important committees when every member of the House of Representa tives knows that Col. Effingham Lawrence was legally elected from the district which this interloper pretends to represent. The House Committee on Elections has just made a decision whicb further illus trates the subject. In 1872, Thomas M. Gunter, a Democrat, was elected to Congress from the Third District of Arkansas, but was counted out by Clayton's gang. Judge Wilshire claimed &o.t on a. certificate of Gov. Baxter that the Secretary of State had made an abstract of votes, which was ap pended, and showed an apparent ma jority for Wilshire obtained by throwing out a large number of the rotes cast for Gunter; Gov. Baxter neglecting to make his certificate a declaration that Wilshire was elect ed, an omission which very likely was intentional. Nevertheless Judge Wilshire, against the protest of the majority, was permitted to take his seat, Gunter being allowed the usual liberty to further contest the case. So the matter stood until the recent Arkansas troubles broke out, and Grant, falling -into the pit which Clayton had dug for the liberal Re publicans, was compelled, greatly against his will, to acknowledge the fraudulent election of Baxter as val id, or virtually admit that the elec toral vote of Arkansas had been stolen for him when it was in reality given to Greely. In this emergency Judge Wilshire refused to submit to Clayton s dictation and made some exceedingly damaging exposures of frauds committed by the two Admin istration Senators from Arkansas. This of course was rank treason, and even a Democrat would be better than a man who professes to be a Republican, but who rebels against his superior officers, tells tales out of school, and has had the temerity to say that the President's appoint ing power is too great for the good of the country. It canses no sur prise, therefore, to learn that the Committee on Elections has just re ported unanimously that Judge Wil shire was never elected, and that Mr. Gunter is entitled to the seat he has occupied so long. The Brutalized Republican Par ty. What a cheerful spectatle it must be to the original Republicans to the foundes of their party thrust out of place and influence in it, and a party of renagade Democrats rul ing the roost! Adams, Trumbull, Banks, Fenton, Curtin, Forney, Cas sius M. Clay, and lately Seward, Chase, Greely and Summer deposed, Butler, Grant, Dix, Logan, Morton, Sickles, II olden, Harlan, and "Lau daulet" Williams lording it over the party in their places. There is one consolation that the disgusted orig inal Republicans can take home to to their hearts. It was such men as Butler that brought about the de feat of the old Democratic party pri or to the war, and they are sure to be equally a nuisance to the party with which they now affiliate.

The Word atj. 0 A profoundly interesting and im portant question has just been decid ed at the London Court of Common Pleas as to the meanirg of the word place m the Act for the suppres sion of betting houses, 16th and 17th Y- chaP- 119- It arose in a case stated on appeal from the decision of the justices of Chester convicting ue appeilaut ot" occi-.i ing a place nd using it for the purpose of let ting. It appears that on the 1-1 th of 'nly the appellant was on the Ches ter nc--conrse standing on a stool 2 ft. 6 in. high, over which was a arge umbrella of the " gig" variety, apable of covering several persons the stick being made in six joints', like a sweep's brush, so as to be ta ken to pieces, and being fixed in the ground with a spike. It was a show ery day, but the umbrella, it was proved, was kept open wet or dry On the umbrella was painted in large letters, 44 G. Bows, Victoria Club, Leeds," and a card was also exhibited bearing the legend, 44 We pay all bets first past the post." The question was, whether Mr. Bow's stool and umbrella together consti tuted a 44 place" within the meaning of the Act, and the Court has decid ed that they do, and affirming the conviction by the magistrates. The spot, they held, was ascertained for the time by the spike of the umbrella, being put in the ground, and it was certainly a place. Indeed the court was not clear that it was not an " office." The umbrella, which was capable of covering several persons, was 44 practically an operf tent." The words 44 We pay here all bets first past the post meant 4 If you will resort or come under this umbrella, here is the place you will be paid." Great importance, it will be "-seen,-) was attached to the fact of the um brella being fixed to the ground. A very nieeqnestion of law would have arisen if Mr. Bow's umbrella had had no spike and had been merely held over his head by an attendant. Would his stool alone have consti tuted a place? and, if not, would a camp-stool, armed, as some are, with a spike, differ from an ordinary three-legged stool in this respect? )- Panned Out Well.
