" But tell me, dear," she said
And coaxingly the soft eyes shone
And shyly drooped the modest head
Reside his own
" Rut tell me, have you loved before ?
Or one, or more ?"
The eaper, sparkling face
Was full of tender, trusting Trace ;
She did not fear his answer then,
Her king of men !
" But tell me, dear, the best and worst,
Or. am I the first?"
He turned his eyes away ;
Yet closer still her hand he pressed,
Nor answered yea, nor nay ;
A blush confessed
All, in one burning word,
Unsaid, unheard!
Quick came a burst of tears
A tempest from an 4pril sky
And then "Forgive my doubts and fears,"
He heard her sigh,
" Why should I cure what loves are past,
So mine be last!"
Why He Didn't Propose. '
""Why did you never think of
marrying?" asked I of my old frierd
Robbins, who is some ten years old
er than myself, and a confirmed
bachelor.
"1 hare thought of it," said he.
"Well, why didn't you marry,
then?" I inquired.
"I will tell you," he replied.
"You know Frank Palmer, don't
you?"
"Yes," said I; "he failed last week,
to the tune of twenty thousand dol
lars. But what has that to do with
your story?"
"bomethinpr. as vou will see, re
plied Ilobbins. "I was never seri
ously tempted to make proposal, but
once, and that was to Frank's wife
before she was married do you un
derstand?"
"O," said I, growing interested.
"And why didn't you?"
"You shall know," he continued.
"I was young and romantic at that
time she was beautiful and accom
plished. We were thrown together
in society, and I was nist at an ase
to yield to her fascinations. Though
I had never expressed my love in
words, I suppose my looks betrayed
me. and 1 am quite sure she was
aware of my feelings toward her
Our families being somewhat inti
mate, we were on the same footing;
and she treated me much in the same
confidential manner as she would a
favorite cousin."
"Do you think," I inquired, "that
she was in love with you.'
"No." said he. "I never thought
that. I presume however, she would
like to have lured me on to a declara
tion, and then would have acted as
fancy dictated. One day when I had
made a morning call, and was retir
ing, she told mo she was going out
shopping, and laughingly proposed
to me to go with her. Having noth
ing of importance to take up my
time, and not being adverse to the
proposal, partly on acccount of its
novelty, and considerably, I suspect,
on aceount of the agreeablo charac
ter of the company I should have, I
consented in the same spirit, and in
f A . f 1
a lew mmuies wo were lauiy eu
route.
" I have but little to buyj said
my companion; 'you may congratu
late yourself upon that, as you will
have the less to carry.'
"We made our first visit to a ladies'
furnishing establishment.
" 'Have you any lace collars?' in
quired Caroline.
"A large quantity were displayed,
but they were too cheap. At length
one was found at three dollars
which being declared the best in the
store, my companion at length pro
fessed herself satisfied, and decided
to take it.
" 'I suppose; said she on goiugout
'I don t really need it, out it was
beautiful and I could not resist the
temptation.'
"A beautiful shawl in the window
of another store next caught Caro
line's observation.
" 'I must certainly go in and look
at those shawls, said she, 'I never
saw any precisely like them. New
kind?' said she to the stoorkeeper.
" 'Yes, miss,' he replied, 'just im
ported from 1 ranee, warranted to
surpass in fineness and durability
any now extant. Will you have one?
' 'The price?' she inquired.
" 'Twenty-five dollars,' was the re
ply, 'and cheap at that.'
"Caroline was startled at this an
nouncement. 'That is high,' said
she.
" 'Not for the quality,' said the
storekeeper, 'just feel it see how
soft it is and you will not call it ex
pensive.' " 'I did not think of purchasing
one to-day,' said Caroline, 'however
I must. You may charge it to mv
father.'
"The shawl was folded, enveloped
and handed to me by the storekeep
er.
" 'I suppose father will scold:'
said Caroline; but it is such a beau
ty."'
"We reached, ere loner, another
store.the placard of which"fcellingoff
at prime cost," proved so seductive
that we at once stayed our steps and
entered. Caroline desired to ex
amine the silks. The first speci
mens offered, which to my unpractic
ed eyes seemed superior quality,
were cast contemptously aside, and
she as,ked to see tho very best

per yard. After a while she ordered

What with the shawl and silk,
each of which made a parcel of no
inconsiderable size, I was pretty
well weighed down, and began to
be apprehensive of the consequences
in case my companion should make
any more purchases. She, however
relieved my anxiety by saying that
she intended to purchase nothing
more. She was only going to stop
at a jeweler's to have a locket repair
ed. Accordingly we repaired to the
store of a fashionable jeweler. The
locket was handed over with the ne
cessary directions.

The 3Iaid of Orleans.
Few persons about whom so little
is known, says the London Xeics,
have been written about so much as
the heoric maiden of Orleans, whom
M. Mermet has once brought tqon
the stage. We do not even know
whether Joan was Joan of Arc or
Joan Dare. Her fate has been made
almost as problematic as her name;
an English poet has written au idyl
ou the theory that Joan was not
burned by the English at Rouen, as
Villon declares, but survived to be
married, to live in the country, and
to be a good deal bored in that con
dition of existence. It is just as hard
to say what tho person of the real
Joan was like. She is a figure as
misty as are the lady and the lover
in Mr. Calverley's verses, concerning
whom the bard says that he knows
not "who on earth we Aere, what we
did ihere, and what it was all about."
In HoO there was an authentic por
trait of Joan on glass in tho Church
of St. Paul, in Paris, but the work
has long been lost. Her monument
on the bridge of Orleans, erected in
li5G, was broken, was repaired and
destroyed again in 1715. The daugh
ter of Louis Phillippe erected anoth
er statute to the maiden, who has
also sat to Ingres, 3)e la llocho and
Ary Cbefler. The common type of
her is derived from an engiaving of
the sixteenth century, preserved in
the Hotel de Ville, at Orleans. Poets
have always delighted to do her hon
or. Sainte Beuvo analyzed a long
mystery play on her history, acted
in the fifteenth century. There is a
Spanish chronicle about her, and she
inspired the ridiculous epic of Chapo-
lain.and the infamous one of Voltaire
Shiller and Alexandire Dumas have
tried their hands on her adventures,
and M. Wallon, the historian of slav
ery, has written a monograph on the
virgin martyr of freedom. Somehow
the impression remains that the mys
tic of Domremy has never yet found
the artist who was equal to her pure
and perfect fame, and the Maid of
Orleans still awaits the canonization
which, of all honors, would have
been most to her mind.
jlorals in Ensiles?;.
Another fault of morals in busi
ness, is taking ad vantage in mistakes
For example, change is being made
for, and the man gives you back not
only all you give him, but a little
more, as well as the article you have
taken, lou pocket the money and
say, "I am not bound to do business
for him and myself, too. It is his
lookout. I am not responsible for
his blunders. Now I want to know
if that is honest ? And yet are there
not some men here who have done
it, and have never made reparation?
1 know men, who, 1 suppose, you
could not bribe to join a band" of
counterfeiters, and make plates, and
produce bogus money, and circulate
it, but who, if they are riding down
town at night, and have a bad bill
put on them, say, "I cannot afford
to have it lie on my hands, and
shove it along, having no conscience
in the matter. How many men are
there that, when they got hold of a
bad bill, do not have a sort of ini
pulse to get rid of it, without stop
ping to consider what the moral
character of such an act is?
Because you have a bad bill put
ou vou is no reason why you should
put it on somebody else. And
though a man does not make bad
bills, if he lets one go out of his
hand3 oeliberately, he is a counter
feiter iu the sight of God. Som
men say, "I was very uncertain
about it; some days I thought it was
counterfeit and other days I thought
it was not: and on one of those days
when I thought it was not counter
feit, I passed it!" Now, if it was a
mere question of a dollar, or live dol
lars, or of ten dollars, it might be a
matter of amusement; but it is a
question of manhood. Back of il
that money, is your truth, your fi
delity. your morality, your honor.
and trustworthiness; and that ought
to be a matter above dollars and cents
to you.

COURTESY
The Liberty Statue.
The monumental statue of Liberty
o be presented by Republican France
to Republican America, and to be
erected in the harbor of New York,
is (says tho Paris correspondent of
the Boston Post) far advancing to
ward completion. Tlie. artist, M.
Bartholdi, ia enthusiastic about his
Avork, and the interest created in all
classes of society by the movement
is really a strong proof of the broth
erly feeling which is felt here to
wards the great liepublic of the iNew
Vv'orld. The subscription list head
ed by Marechal MacMahon and his
Ministers bears also the name of the
nimble ouvrier, who has furnished
lis hard-earned franc to the national
offering of ono great nation to an
other. Some months ago, when the
project was spoken of, a wealthy
manufacturer of Paris called on M.
Laboulaye, President of the Execu
tive Committee and inscribed his
name as one of tho subscribers, with
out specifying the amount of his con
trubution. M. Bartholdi, who was
present at the time, and who knew
the liberality of the subscriber, jok
ingly remarked that "as he knew M.
X. to be a strong Republican and a
great admirer of America, the
amount of his subscription would
certainly be very large, if it was in
proportion to his admiration for tho
Great Republic."
"Let it bo so, then, answered tho
manufacturer; "and I engage mv-
sslf to furnish all the bronze neces
sary for tho casting of the statue."
"But you are aware," answered
M. Bartholdi, astonished, "that
your subscription will then reacli
tho enormous sum of 1UU,UUU
francs?"
"Very will, sir: let that bo the
amount of my subscription, and I
shall impose ouly one condition: I
desire my name to be kept secret in
relation to this allair, and you can
draw on my banker as soon a3 you
please for tho amount."
Is not this a proof of great friend
ship and admiration for the people
of the United States, from one who
has never yet crossed the Atlantic
on a visit to America ? It has been
decided by the Committee that the
corner-stone of the base of tho mon
ument shall be laid in New York, on
the 4th day of July next, with great
ceremonies. A number ot disting
uished French statesmen and writers,
among whom M. E. Laboulaye and
tho Count ue locquevillo will be
present ou the occasion. We under
stand that au appeal is to bo made
to the American public for a sub
scription to cover the expense of the
base of the monument, as it would
be impossible for the members of
the French committtee, who are al
most all members of the Senate and
of the Chamber of Deputies, to su
perintend the details of preparing
the foundation in iSew lork.
Zeal in SioIuiiiiiiRHiiiuLsin.
A letter from Alexandria, &avs
tLe Pall Mall Gazette, says that never
has a pilgrimage to Mecca and Me
dina been so numerously attended as
the one which was concluded at the
beginning of tho present year.
There is now at Mecca n celebrated
preacher whose reputation has ex
tended through the whole of Arabia.
He is regarded as a saint and a
prophet, and people from Turkey,
Northern Africa, the Soudan, Arabia
and India assembled in crowds to
listen to him. Among the pilgrims
were several princes, such as tho un
cle of the Shah of Persia and some
Arabian and African Sultans. All
strictly fulfilling tho rules observed
by the pilgrims, and even the Shah's
uncle, who 13 a man advanced in
years, entered Mecca with only a
cloth round his loins. An old man,
feeling his end approaching, travel
ed all the way from Kurrachee to
hear the celebrated prophet, and
died at Mecca shortly after his arriv
al. The correspondent also describes
some sermons which wero addressed
to the assembled pilgrims, apparent
ly with considerable effect. In one tho
preacher urged his hearers to have
as littlo intercourse as possible with
Christians and to abstain entirely
from drinking wine, and his words
produced so much remorse iu some
of the pilgrims that as he rode away
they threw themselves under his
horse's hoofs. Another predicted
that within the next ten years the
whole of Europe would bo under tho
rule of the crescent and that the
Sultan of Constantinople would con
quer the Eastern portion of the con
tinent, including Rome.
Adversity. Men, apparently use
less and purposeless, have, when
placed in positions of difficulty and
responsibility, exhibited powers of
character before unsuspected. Some
of the trreatest minds that have ex
isted upon the earth would never
have made their rare gifts of benefit
to others had they not been driven
oat and purified by adversity. The
poets, whose sublime strains have
cheered so many hearts, have learned
in suffering what they have thought
in song. Had their path been strewn
with roses, had they been wafted on
ward by the favoring gale of prosper
ity, the multitudes would have miss
ed those grand inspiring words that
have so helped them in the weary
battle of life.

OF BANCROFT LIBRARY,
PHILADELPHIA LETTEK.
PaiLADETJniA, May 22, 1S7G.
Since our opening day the prospect
at the Centennial has been gradually
unfolding itself, and though bewil
dering in its vastness, is being re
solved into detail. Upon entering
tho main building ono continuous
line of compartments may be seen
down the main aisle, in the infinita
variety or style of the nation repre
sented in each. The fantastic shape
of the Japanese front is relieved by
the beauty of the Italian, or the mas
sive Egyptain is contrasted with the
light open pavilion of tho South
American department the Chinese,
Spanish, Chilian, French, Norwegian
and Russian, each representing in
coloring or architecture the taste of
its people. Foreigners in their na
tional dress mingle with the crowd,
and on every side may be heard the
unintelligiblo sounds of their lan
guage. In a cursory view we take
in first the Italian exhibit. Exquisite
mosaic table slabs, the contribution
of tho Pope, Byzantine, Florentine
and Roman mosaic jewelry, the deli
cate silver fibre sets from Venice and
the Milanese workmanship in gold
and silver, rivaling the Etruscan of
old, each "excites our admiration.
Carved bedsteads, cabinets inlaid
with silver and mounted with golden
figures of celebrated Italians, curious
chairs of the Medieval ages, beauti
fully carved pulpits and one of black
marble inlaid with mosaic of the
Florentine pattern, attract tho curi
ous. The products of the country
in the back-ground we omit to see
with these trifling first glances. Op
posite the Italian is the Japanese
department, rivaling its more civil
ized neighbor in the carvings exhib
ited. One set of furniture here at
tracts more than admiration, wonder
superseding the feeling. Groups of
warriors on foot and horseback ap
parently skirmish from tho opposite
bedposts with each other. Each fig
ure is perfect in itself even to the
expression of tho face, which is de
cidedly Japanese, and yet two inches
and a half is about the height of the
contestants. Dragons rising out of
flame support the keystone of the
arched head and foot boards and the
front of tho cabinets, and no spot on
the whole set is without its figure or
scroll mark. Carved boxes, picture
frames, tea chests, cabinets and chairs
lie in profusion around. Guarding
all this is a handsome Japanee in a
sky blue dress and a pigtail down
his back, making one wonder if the
dragons carved around are not the
portraits perhaps of some of his an
cestors. Through Norway and Sweden
we see fine specimens of tin ore and
silver, and hurry to look into the
luxurious Egyptain section. Here
all is oriental splendor. Home trap
pings mounted with gold, with gold
holsters and pommel on the saddle,
a sword the hilt and scabbard of
which is covered with precious
stones, jewelled poinards, and gold
mounted pistols are a specimen of
property of the Khedive. Velvet
table covers and costumes with flow
ers wonderfully worked in gold or
silver, jewels of immense value,
stuffed crocodiles 15 feet long, meer
schaums in oriental lavishness of
carving bewilder the astonished spec
tator. Hurrying to the Austrian de
partment one is lost for an hour at
the cases of pipes so wonderfully
worked in every variety of shape,
size or design, and then for a time
the weariness of such constrained
attention is overpowering and one
wanders to the centre of the building
to yield another hour to the witching
strains rendered by Gilmore's band,
wrhile a sense of rest once more re
turns. For a change one then visits
another building, say the U. S. The
display offered by the Navy Depart
ment in the United States building
is comprised under nine heads, name
ly, ordnance and torpedoes, equip
ment, navigation, construction, yards
and docks, medicine and surgery,
provisions and clothing, steam engi
neering, and naval observatory and
Arctic relics. 1 rom the roof above
the department is hung a profusion
of flags and mottoed banners, and
tho pillars are docorated with large
guilt-framed paintings of all the Sec
retaries of the Navy and naval heroes
from the beginning of W asnington s
administration down to the present
time. E. Y. S.
A bashful and not over-edncated
young fellow went to see his girl the
other night, and as he started away
he put his arm about tier ana wnis
pered in her ear, "Dearest, I love
you;" and she responded sweetly,
"Ditto," meaning, of course, a re
ciprocation of his tender passion.
The young man could not find
"ditto" in his vocabulary, and he
asked his father the next day as they
were hoeing cabbage, what it meant.
The old gent rested a moment on his
hoe, and pointed to the cabbage in
front of him with the remark:
"You see that cabbage?"
"Yes," responded the youth.
"And you see the next ono there?"
"Yes."
"Well, that is called 'ditto.' "
"Damn her!" exclaimed the impet
uous youth, "she called me a cab
bage head!"

men give him about two hours start,

A 3Iacliine that Moves by Light.
From the multitudes that crowd the
sidewalk of the west side of Union
Square, New York City, many are
attracted by a small machine that is
in constant motion, but without any
visible motive power. In front of the
the instrument which in a front win
dow, is a placard averring that per
petual motion is attained by the radi
ometer, the invention of Prof. Wm.
Croodes, F. R. S., of London. The
claim is an exaggeration, as the radi
ometer moves only when struck by
rays of light and is therefore no more
perpetual motion thau is a windmill.
The instrument moves by the attract
ive and repulsive power of light, and
by means of a delicate scale can, it
is said, be made to weigh light to the
one-millionth part of a grain. The
radiometer consists of four pith discs,
black on one sido and white on tho
other, fastened at the end of four
arms that are connected with a metal
or jewel point in the centre. This
point spins in a glass cup at the top
of a rod which is fastened in an up
right position in what the maker says
is a perfect vacuum. This vacuum
i3 the interior of a glass vessel shaped
like an inverted or very flat ther
mometrical tube, tho four discs re
volving in the bulb at the top. Tho
light striking on the white surfaces
of the discs attracts them, and strik
ing on the black sides repels them,
so that tho four discs revolve like the
sails of a windmill. Iu the strong
sunlight they move with such rapid
ity as to be undistingnishabla; in
reflected light their motion is much
slower.
