whether I would ever see him again or not.

So, twaa impossible! I could only weep.

He bowed his bead and prayed our

no idea it was the last time; I thought yon

arms weak though they were would have held you fast and ne'er have let yon go! But you went yon sailed away, across the mighty ocean, and many were the sad, fond glances, I know, which yon east back to the shores where all yon loved dwelt."

Slowly the long months dragged by, each

one bringing me a 'long letter from my lover; but one day one came telling me that in two more he was coming home.

Oh, how glad I was! I kissed the precious

missive again and again! He was safe,

not come. "It will be here to-morrow," I

said, and so it was; for the next morning when I first opened my eyes I saw it laying at anchor. But it had not brought my lover to me, nor yet a letter from him; instead, there was one in a strange handwriting. It made me sick and son at

About two weeks after I got home, father

called me to ma study and had a long.

serious conversation with me. Horace

Winston, the man who had petted and

spoilt me from my babyhood, wished to

marry me, this was what he told me. Mr.

Wintson was at least twice my age;

but my father said, when I

reminded him of the fact,

"Yes, he is older than you, but he is a

good, true man, and loves you dearly.

cannot live always, my child. I am old and feeble, and I would like to feel that you were in good hands. If you marry him you will be, I know he would cherish my

baby."

80 I became Horace's betrothed, and 'twas not long ere I learned to love him

with all the ardor of my young, unsophtsti-

eated heart. And did he care for me, you

ask? Why, he had loved in all bis life.

Time passed swiftly. Nearer and nearer

Late one evening as I was busily putting

the finishing touches to my wedding dress, I heard the quick tread of horses' feet be

neath the window; them hurried steps came up the stain, and my father and Horace

came hastily m.

"What has happened?" I asked, tremu- , lousSy, for one glance at their troubled faces

Then father toM me gently, and "with

many a tear and sigh," that war cruel war which had always brought sorrow and

trouble into the land had broken out be

tween England and America! And that the

ships were preparing to set sail on the 1

row morn, and that my dear was one of the

men of the first troops who had been or

dered to sail. For a moment I was stunned,

then

You caa't go," I shrieked. "You shall

"My darting," he murmnred, sadly, I must go, though it breaks my heart; my King commands and I must obey, for I

He raised ike pictnre to his lips, and died.

With trembling hands and bated breuth,

I opened it, and read ah, woe is me! he

would never come, for for he was dead!

The letter, written by a comrade, told me

how he my Horace had fallen.

In the very thickest of the fight, on that

terrible battle-field he fell; and as they

bore him to the rear and laid him down, he

drew from his pocket a worn letter and

from it a photograph. "My darling!" they heard him whisper, then with glowing, glassy eyes he cried, "Write to her, my little sweetheart in 'merrie old England' and tell her how I died, that "I have done my duty ever, tried to do it just and right,

THE ME lO HI Or OKEA.T 3tKX. A correspondent inquires of us if

there is any truth in the general belief that the leaders of any particular ugo are large men, "or is it merely superstition? There is a modicum of truth in it While there an numerous exceptions, it seems to Tbe afact that great poets, essayists, scholars, and philosophical thinkers are, as a rule, small;

while great generals, orators, and

politicians, those who are engrossed in

doing rather than thinking, are, as a rule, above the average size of man.

There is a reason for it; those vrho

possess the most vitality are apt to

make the biggest noise in the world. Washington was a large man; so were Cortez, Charlemagne, and Wellington;

so were Webster, Clay, Tom Corwin,

Tom Marshall, Lincoln, Chase, Stunner; so are Gladstone, Bismarck, Ferry, Cleveland, James O. Blaine, and

Gen. Sherman. When men who have

won distinction are not tall, they gen

erally make it up in breadth, like Bona

parte, Stephen A. Douglas, and Sheri

dan.

The thinkers of the world have

generally been small ; as Cicero, Aristotle, Bacon, Alexander Pope, Alexander Hamilton, and Oliver Wendell

Holmes. The members of the Senate,

ever since that body was established,

have been, it is alleged, about an inch taller than the average height of American men. Successful American editors

have generally been tall men, averaging six feet high and! over 200 pounds, as the elder Bennett, Thurlow Weed, James Watson Webb, Horace Greeley,

Wilbur P. Story, Murat Halstead,

Joseph MedUl, Whitelaw Beid, Joseph Pultzer, juul Charles A. Sana, all fine specimens of full-grown men.

Great orators are almost always

large men, and such specimens as

Joseph Cook, Henry Ward Beecher,.

CoL Robert G. Ingersoll, Mr. Moody,

Boseoe Conkling, and T. De Witt Tal-

mage are familiar to the eye of the

present generation ot Americans. These orators are not only alike in weighing 225 pounds apiece, bat they farther resemble each other in possessing a keen

sense of both humor and pathos, and in

being coarse-grained, of the earth earthy. If they had not been of coarse

texture they would have died young,

and if they were not large they would

have lacked the physical strength to

surpass in the sharp competitions of

their time. In New York it is pro

verbial that the great merchants oat-

weigh their clerks. Vox Populi.

The slopes of Etna and Vesuvius owe their richness to the fertilizing action of volcanic ashes, and reports

from New Zeland indicate that the ashes from last year's eruption have

enriched the soil to a remarkable de

gree.

Fos some kinds of disaster there is no safety in riches. The colic takes as tight a grip upon the baby of the rich

man as it does upon that of the poor

Fatltton' JStMets, SOME SEW AND PBETTT MODES. Harper'g Bazar, Black silk dresses worn by young ladies have a gnirape and puffed sleeves of black Chantilly lace, with a dogcollar of green velvet, also two or three bands of green velvet around the arm between tho puffs. Point d'esprit net is much used for gnimpos in block and white silk dresses, and it is also seen in colors used as silk muslin guimpes are in dresses of pale-bine or rose-silk, with a high velvet collar of a darker shade. The fancy in black lace dresses is for entire black, using inexpensive black satin under tho lace, such as a deep fall of satin surah, cut in points at the lower edge,- and covering the foundation skirt of satin, which is finished with a satin plaiting, or with gathered pink Irills of the satin; the basque is then of loco laid on substantial satin Bhadames, which serves without other lining. Bands of jet galloon down tho basque and sleeves; a collar, cuffs, and a vest or plastron of iet, with wider jet bands pointed in the front breadths; jet ornaments catching up the loose drapery, or else a jetted net front for the skirt are the ways in which jet is used for trimming black lace dresses, and most of such dresses have some trimming of jet. The newest jet front breadths have fringe ornaments made of strands of very fine beads of great length, or else short, and in clusters and figures. Some of the lace skirts have across' the front two deep flounces, gathered to fall in a point toward the middle, and as heading for each flounce a point of jet six or sewn inches wide in lattice design. Another flounce fills in tho space at tho foot not covered, while at the top, and on the sides, are paniers of lace carving back to long soft scarfs of drapery in the middle of the back, ending in jet-fringed tassels that fall on still more lace. Eight lengthwise rows of jet galloon are down the basque over the lace., making a striped corsage; the scalloped edges of lace are made to meet in a soft vest in front, across which are thick ropes of jet, three below the bust and one at the throat, each ending in a loop that fastens on tho left over a berry-shaped jet button. Pointed girdles of jet galloon with deep fringe attached aro pnt across tho end of the front of lace basques, and in keeping with this are a Y-shaped plas

tron of jet, and other V's for the top of each sleeve. A high collar band of jet and wristbands in beaded stripes will bo

much used. The sleoves of lace dresses are fuller than of any olh f-ies, and may be patho-rc oimost alike at top a- t'atcom, or in soft pnfts around the

arm, or with only one puff at the wrists,

or else with tho deep mutton-leg cuff of

jet, and the lace softly puffed above it.

Ribbons are also much usocl with both

black and white or Siede laces, sometimes the entire dress being made up of rows of lace alternating with moire ribbon arranged in bios rows on the

whple basque and on the diagonally-

draped apron front, while tho back has

straight rows forming stripes. On

other laoe skirts there are four rows of

moire ribbon three inches wide drop

ping down each side from the belt in

graduated lengths, shortening toward the back, each end cat in a notch, and iet fringe of fine bends in long, slender

strands set on to follow the shape of

the notch.

The easiest and most graceful way of

making lace skirts is to use the scalloped skirting, gathering or plaiting the top in front to the belt, and drawing the right side up half its length, to be held

there by jet ornaments. A narrower flounce crosses the front under the skirting, is seen on the right side, and then forms half the back across the foot. Another flounce above this is gathered across the top, covering the

back. The satin foundation skirt is mode

fluffy at the foot by two plaited or

gathered frills being sewed to its edges, and a deep satin flounce, scalloped or pointed and faced, falls over these before the lace is set on. Those who do not use tho double flounces across the back have a single deep

flounce to match that of the apron front,

set on very full, with the top dropping over in Arab fold. Full paniers

made of lace flounces, showing the scalloped edges as they curve away

from the front, are seen on very youth

ful gowns.

The square-meshed Russian net and

the finely-dotted point d'esprit are being used for white and colored lace

gowns made up with gauze, or moire,

or gros grain ribbons in the ways just

noted. The full-shirred basque is seen on so many of these dresses, with the ribbons confined to loops and bows in the front, amid the oascades of lace which are again used as trimmings, or

on the fichus and collaret of deep lace now seen on French dresses. Lavender, yellow, brown, pale-blue, and old rose net dresses are made for young la

dies, the white nets being used for

graduates and for debutantes. AmH JlaHta of Jtratt,

When the popular taste began some time ago to lean towards articles mode of brass many persons laughed at what

they called a spasm and said it could

not last long, but if tho trade done in

this line of goods is anything to go by

the craze is increasing. Popular taste in fact, is running, riot in this regard,

Fancy woodwork, so popular a year or

so ago, is practically out of the market

Not only is this metal used in the man

ufacture of brio-a-brao and ornamental

pieces, bat in many of tho recently

built dwellings it constitutes much of

the practical and substantial appointments. For portieres, mantel facings,

and stair casings polished brass has

been in common use for. a long time,

but it was not until recently that it

took the place of softer and less expen

sive materials in the manufacture of

panelings for doors, sills, baluster rails,

balconies, and tho like. Itsuso in tho household articles has knoclod a goodsized hole in tho furniture business, for a portion of a dwelling car. tonlay be

furnished in brass, from tko lutehon

poker up to a child's swinging crib. An article of this kind a brass bassinet

covored by a canopy, costs SCO. A

simple crib, however, can bu bought for $35. Single brass bedsteads aro worth $18, while those of double size range in price from $38 to $100. Among tho

now designs in beds is a canopy which, while it extends only over tho pillows,

is a very handsome piece of furniture. The head and foot pieces are made in variously fashioned 'patterns, as also are the supports to the canopy, which

can bo had in damatik, meriuo, silk, or satin. In a room where a light is con

tinually burned they are practical and useful as well as ornamental.

Brass oabinets forty aud sixty inches

high, with four or five shelves, arc also

being made. They cost from 40 up.

The top and stanchions aro of highly-

polished metal, but tho shelves are made of solid niahogauv. Polished

brass dressing-cases, with bevelod-gtass mirrors, though pretty and elegant are,

very expensive. o also are the bras

chairs. To furnish a reception-room or parlor with brass chairs would be novel and dainty, but at $10 each most people would have to bo content with one or two. To the designs, patterns, and shapes of the various articles made of this material there seems to bo no end. Tho appearance of a room is greatly enhanced by a brass easel, as is also the looks of tho picture to which it gives support. The number of articles made of brass runs up into the

thousands already and tho end is not

et. Shaving stands, wall pockets, fire

screens, and such things exist in countless varieties. The most popular conceits are tho umbrella stand, usually made in hammered goods, circulars in form and about a foot in diameter ; coal scuttles, used chiefly by people who have open fire-places and gratis, to stand beside the fire - place ; match-boxes, whisk broom - holders, ash receivers, and hall racks in polished oak with brass mountings.

Small thermometers or clocks are

sometimes set in the head of a tenuis racket. Tho latest card pioture.-holdcr is mode of brass in the semblance of a

flatiron.

Spring Wraps,

SOME PBETTV COSlfEITS A NEW FAIIKIC.

There is a new fabric called Geneva

plush, of which the pile is so short as to be rather suggestive of velvet, but velvet of that peculiar thick and close make to which tho city of palaces lends

its name. This plush is being largely adopted for the now demi-saison mantles. It is black as jet, richer and handsomer in appearance than velvet,

and has the very valuable attribute of being little injured by rain. Some of

the wraps take the form of close-fitting

bodices, with extremely rich decorations

of jet, lace, and beads. Some of tUa

jot is as carefullv shfM- ana as den

eately narw 3 al-o neck and ear orna-

juncs made of this material.

One examplo had a high Medici

collar of jet, the turned-down corners

of which displayed a lining of velvet.

The ample folds of lace in frontas well as the basque sides, wore held in place by jet ornaments, which likewise

appeared in great profusion upon - the sleeves.

On another was arrangod a lace fichu,

showing as a double fan at the back of

tho neok, with a handsome jet embroid

ery on each side, while its scarf ends

and lace front were similarly orna

mented.

A wrap, of a scarf shape, had points

of plush at tho sides, and its jet ornaments were mixed with frosted belllike flowers of tho same substance. Braces of jet in ono instance were car

ried over tho shoulders of a jetted

grenadine wrap, the sleeves of which

were in a largo bell form.

The V back of a flour do soie mantle

was also of jet, while tho same substance supplied the shoulder knot and substantial tassels that, falling over back and front, mingled with the jetted fringes in which the sleeves wore represented. A jabot of lace was conspicuous in the front, drawn in to the figure by a ribbon at the waiet.

Jeivctry.

A handsome pal ring recently in

troduced, has a single stone with a trefoil of small diamonds on each side, aud the upper part of tho shank around tho

jems richly chased.

A salable ring at present has a flat

shank, the upper part of which is split, and two parallel rows of fancy stones,

throe in a row, aro set either diagonally

or in lino with the shank.

The forget-me-not finish, a beauti

fully chased surface of platinum and gold in imitation of that popular flower, is the richest and most artistic novelty in chased sleeve buttons.

LITTLE BITS ABOUT THE FASHIONS. Many of the Newmarket cuffs,' with

fronts to match, havo stripes of color alternating with narrow lines of white, and the surface of a fair proportion of these is covered with "mille raiea" in rod, pink, and bine.

Black satin gowns of exceedingly rich quality aro decorated with silver passementeries and pendent ornaments, and made up in tho new severelysimple stylo, with full undraped skirts and pointed corsages. Pbimbose and heliotrope, primrose and pink, primrose and blue, primrose and black, primrose and brown, aud primrose with ovory color and shade, is tho feature in spring zephyrs, sateens, percales, and otamines. A novelty in Carlsbad glass consists of a filigroe net of gold surrounding and partly covering a vase or chalice of tinted glass, which, beinr blown into shapo after tho network is put over it, imbeds it in tho glass. Btrii'ES of ovory size and desciption appear on all sides among fashionable spring fabrics. More than this, they

constitute the one typical peculiarity of

the fashions as they appear at present, and tho greatest ingenuity of the dressmaker is taxed to design their novel and proper distribution, and to devise the best means to vary what would otherwise be monotony.

Some claim that the pulley is the oldest mechanical invention, but probably the crowbar has a pryer claim.

Tho Oi loir Diamond. TJiis magnificent gem, which in its

rough state formed the eyo of an idol in a temple near Trichinopoli, wan stolen by a Frenchman, who escaped with his prize to Persia, and who, fearful of being discovered, was glad to dispose of his ill-gotten gem for a sum of about 2, 000. The man who bought the stone, a Jewish merchant, sold it to one Shafras, an astute Armenian, for 12,000, rihafras had conceived tho idea that by carrying the stone to Russia ho would obtain from the Kmpress Catherine the Great a princely sum for

it. How to travel in sat etv with the

stone, the theft of which had of course

been discovered and proclaimed, became a grave consideration. It was too large to swallow, and no mode of con

cealment presented itself to Shafras

that seemed se.ure from discovery. The way in which he solved the problem was remarkable. He made a deep incision in the fleshy part of his left leg, in which he inserted the stone, closing the wound carefully by sewing it up with silver thread. When the wound healed the Armenian merchant et out on his travels quite boldly, and although more than once apprehended, rigorously searched, and even tortured a little, he was obdurate and firmly deDied having the stone in his possession. Having at length reached li s destination, ho asked from tho Empress tho

mm of 40,000 for the gem, an amount of money which Catherine was unable to raise at the moment. We next find the Armenian at Amsterdam with the Intention of having his diamond cut. liere tho stone was seen by Count Orloff, who determined to purchase it for presentation to his royal mistress, the limpress Catherine. The sum ultimately paid for the gem was about 70,000 Sterling in cash, together with an annuity of 500 and a patent of nobility. Bhafras flourished exceedingly, aad iied a millionaire. Such, in brief, is the story of tho Orloff diamond. Chamber' Journal. Died A Letter.

sharpshooters went along tne uonteaerate line for nearly a mile in each direc

In some of the French glass manufactories the processes aro carried on to superior advantage by means t of air stored under great pressure, in this way dispensing altogether with tho necessity of blowing by the month. Glass blowers are known to be peculiarly susceptible to certain disorders, such as diseases of tho lips and cheeks, and predisposition to tumors and rupture, these affections being also the more serious because boys are often employed when the system is weakened by rapid growth, the high temperature snd dry atmosphere increasing the unfavorable hygienio conditions. The now process now brought forward entirely obviates any blowing by boys, and, with rare exceptions, by adults also. As a result, the manufacture of f issware is found to bo ameliorated rapidity of execution, as well as by 9 perfection and the large size of the pieoea which are pxodaoM.

FOR HORSES TJVHXA, W. VL, 1 Nov. 17, 1S86. J Recently I bought a young- horse. He was taken very ill with Pneumonia. I tried to think of something to relieve him. Concluded what was good for man would be good for the horse. So I got a bottle of Pisos Cure and gave him half of it through the nostrils. This helped him, and I continued giving same doses night and morning until I had used two bottles. The horse has become perfectly sound. I can recommend Pise's Cure for the horse as well as for man.
