;J: FROM I pgH(IUSEWpA jjfv BY MARY jlj CHAITKUXVI. "Ob, mother, won't you take this pil low from my head and Pt another blan ket on my feet, and fix tbe tire, and give mt some water, or something? Ob, dear, dearl" groaned poor Koae Lincoln, aa with aching bead and lunirw ahe did pen ance for her Imprudence In crowning tb wet, slippery street In thla -slipper and liken boa, . Mrs. Lincoln, who knew nothing f this exposure, loudly lamented the extreme delicacy of her daughter's constitution, Impaling It wholly to Mount Holyoke dis cipline, and wleblng. aa she bud often don before, that "she'd been wise and kept her at borne." Jenny would have wished ao, too, If by tble means Rose Illness could have been avoided, for It waa not a verr aa-reeable tk to etay In that eloae slek-room. listening to tbe complaint of her fault finding alater, who toaecd and turned and fretted, from nirnln until nla-ht. sometimes wishing herself dead, and then crying beeaus ehe nt anmethlna-. and did not anow what" Oh! dear" aald aha. on evening w- ral daya aftir tha commencement of her Illness, "how provoking to be obliged to lie here moping with tha dulleat of all dull company whin there'a Mra.

"Mary How ard will be there, and you know aa well aa I how awkward aha'll appear-never wa In any kind of society in her life. "I don't see what Inducement that can for vnn ta MiiuH rour htaltb." aald Jennr . and Rose continued: "I want to see Ida mortified once, for she might know better than to bring green rountry girl here, aettlog her op a something wonderful, and expecting everybody to believe it Juat becauee Mlaa Selden aa d ao.

"What do fou mean?" aaked Jenny, turning qnlekly toward ber aUter, whose white, waated race looaea ner ur ahroud thau a gay party dreaa. "I mean what I Bay," returned Itoe; Tm not going to be cooped up here any lonicer. Tin g-!ng to the party to-mor-row night. If I never go again." "Why, Hoae Lincoln, are you craayT aked Jenny. "You haven't been In the treet yet, and how do you expect to go to morrow nlghtT Mother wouldn't let you. If alio were here.' "Weil, tbahk fortune! ahe and father lotb are In Southbrldge: and bealdea that I'm a great deal better; ao hand me uiy dreaa." Jenny complied, and reclining on pil lows warct'ly whiter than heraelf, Itoao Lincoln examined and found fault with thin goatuner fabric, little auited for anyone to wear on a cold, wintry night, and much Icaa for her. "There, I knew It waan't aa wide aa Ida'a Into an eighth of an Inch," aald ahe, nieaaurlnit with her finger tha expensive lace. "I ll have eome uew. Oome, Jen ny, auppoao you go uown u It. for I'm bent upon going;" and t,ho thoughtleaa girl aprang lightly upon the floor, and chaaed halfway acroaa the room to ahow how well and atroug aho waa. Jenny knew that further expoatulntlon from her waa tiacleaa, but ahe refuaed to go for the Ince, and Sarah, the aervant girl, waa Bent with a note from Koao aylng ahe wanted a nice article, eight ' or ten dollars per yard. "I don't believe father would like to have you make such a bill," said Jenny, when Sarah was gone. "Mother didn't dnre to tell blm about your new dreaa, for he told her she mustn't get anything charged, and ha said, too, something about hard timea. I'erhapa bo'a going to fall. Wouldn't it be dreadful?" If Itose heard tho last part of thla sentence she did not hood It, for to her the Idea of her father'a foiling was pre noateroua. When tho dinner bell rang she threw on a heavy shawl and de PMidlmr to tha dlnlug-pnrlor, remained below stairs all the afternoon, forcing h-k her couuh. and chatting merrily with a irrnitn of vourm fflrla who hn$ .llid to see her. and congratulated her upon her Improved health, for excitement lent a deep glow to ner cnocK, wmcn , would easily deceive the Inoxperienced. Tho npxt dav. owing to overexertion, Itoae'a temples were throbbing with pain, and more than onca she half-determined not to go; but her paBaion for society una atrouir. and Mrs. KuaaeU's party had so long been anticipated and talked about that aho felt ahe would not mtss It for tho and. aa ahe had confessed to Jpnnv. there was also a mean curiosity to see how Mary Howard would appear nt a fuahlonablo party. "Saturute my handkerchief with co lnirne. and nut the vinaigrette where 1 mn reach it while you arrnngo my hair," rIui suid to Saarah, who at the usual hnnr nnmo un to dress her young mis trcsa for tho evening. "There, bo careful and not bruah so hard, for that ugly pain Iwn't quite gone now bring me tho glass and let me see If I do look like a ghost."

"What? Itose Lincoln here?" exclaimed half a dosen voices as Itoaa bounded Into the dreaslng room. "Yea, Hose Lincoln la here," ahe re plied, gayly, dlveating herself of her wrapping. "I'm not going to die juat jet, I guess, neither am 1 going to be housed up all winter. The fresh air baa done me good already see," and ehe pointed to a bright, round spot which burned her cheek. A youug girl, whose family had one by one fallen vletlme to the great New England plague, conaumptlon, ahuddered and turned away, for to her eye the glow which Itose called health was but tbe hectic bloom of death. "How besutlfui she UT aald more than one, aa with her accnatomed grace Koao entered the brilliant drawing-room. And truly Itoae waa beautiful that night, but like the gorgeous fotisge of the fading autumn, 'twaa the beauty of decay, for death waa written on her blue-veined brow, and lurked amid 4he rosea on ber cheek. Hut tittle thought she of that, as with smiling Up and beaming eye ahe received tbe homage of the admiring throng. Juat then Ida and Mary were an nounced. Itoth Aunt Martha and Ida had taken great pains to huve their young friend becomingly dreased, and she looked unusually well In the em broidered muslin skirt, aatln waist and blondo bertha which Aunt Martha bad Instated upon her accepting as a present The rich silken braids of her luxuriant hair were confined at the back of her finely formed head with a golden arrow, which, with the exception of a plain band of gold on each wrist, waa the only or nament she wore. This wss her first in troduction to the gay world, but so ken wss her perception of what waa polite and proper that none would ever have suspected It; and yet there waa about her something ao fresh and unstudied, that she had hardly entered the room ere many were struck with her easy, un affected mannera, so different from tne practiced airs of the city bellea. Ella wateuea ncr narrow ly, wniapering aside to Henry how sorry she felt for poor Mary, ahe was so verdant, and real ly hoped ahe wouldn't do anything very awkward, for 'twould niortiry ner to death! "But look," she added, "and see how many people Ida la introducing her to." "Of course, why shouldn't Bhe?" asked Henry; and Ella replied: "I don't know it aeems ao funnyj to see Mary here, doesn't it?" Before Henry could answer, a young man of his acquaintance touched his shoulder, saying: "Lincoln, who Is thnt splendid-looking girl with Miss Selden? I haven't soon a finer face In Boston for many a day." "That?, Oh, that'a Miss Howard, from Chlcopeo. An Intimate friend of our family. . Allow me tho pleasure of In troducing you," and Henry walked away, leaving, Ella to the tender mercies of Rose, who, aa one after another quitted her aide and went over to the "enemy," grew very angry, wondering If folks were bewitched, and hoping Ida Seldon "felt better, now that she'd made to many notice her protege' " Later In tho evening, William Bender came, and Immediately Jenny began to talk to him of Mary, and the lmpresalon ahe was making. Placing her hand familiarly upon his arm, as though that were Ha natural resting place, she led him toward a group, of which Mary aeemed tho center of attraction. Near her stood Henry Lincoln, redoubling hia flattering compliments In proportion aa Mary grew colder and more reserved In her manner toward him. Silly and con ceited as he waa, he could not help no ticing how differently ahe received Will iam Bender from what Bhe had himself. "But all In good time," thought lw, glancing at Ella, to see how Bhe waa af- cent to make a general fall in the temperature. Local thunder storms will give temporary relief, but weather bureau officials say that per manent relief will not come until for his nee-lect.

Darr, formerly of kntii&t Pacific Vfhakr C the Rocks la ; Behrlmj Sea. Seattle, July 5. The whaler Bala ena, of San Francisco, belonging to the Pacific Steam Whaling Company, lies on St. Lawrence Island, 20 miles west of Southeast cape, in Behring sea, a total wreck. Captain P. F. Cotte and the 60 men in the crew baa an almost miraculous escape from death. Through the bravery of the officers all escaped to shore. The Balaena was on a voyage to the Arctic. Bhe was provisioned for 30 months. The whaler left San Fran cisco April 4. and, after battling with tbe ice for weeks, bad succeeded m working through the worst of the floes. She was headed to pass fct. Lawrence island when the wreck oo ' curred. Shortly after midnight, May 1, tbe wind rose until it assumed the atrength of a gale, and the whaler waa driven to a point 20 miles west of Southeast cape, St. Lawrence island, where she struck a rock. The cap tain immediately ordered the boats out. The whaler seemed to have been bung on the rock, and, although the waves were pounding her terribly, she did not founder. In a very short time the boats were manned and the crew started for the shore. The sea was so high that it was impossible for the boats to keep together, but they all made the island eventually. The hands and feet of several are badly frozen. Tbe Balaena is a total wreck. She . . . a . is hanging to tne rocs wnere sne struck, but is liable to slip off into the water and sink at any time. She struck on the port side and crashed a hole fully 12 feet in the length of ber hull.
