society underwent a marked
.Jbim^e. lie was a handsome voting artist. \Tfho had come to spend the summer in .(30 noighborini village. Pamela met $im at tlie house of a friend in the 'Jiilage, whom she often visited. 1 was, at l.' years old. one of the most ..mischievous young hoydens and vixens that it would be easy to find, and on discover.ng that Pamela met (»eorge onrov socrolly. 1 was filled villi an overmastering amusement. «-Doubtless the wiliioisiii of which
I laughed as 1 heard this, and a V. mischievous thought was taking shapo in my brain.
That night, a little before the hour at which i'amoia usually'slipped out ., 'oi the house, 1 myself left it with a .Kirge bundle under my arm. The ••haunted orchard" lay bin a short ., •.i-tance mi. I suqn reached it, and, -under '.he shadow of a great apple ." tree undid ipy bundie, which consisted bf.ii voluminous- while .-heet.

Presently steps sounded. As they I,, drew nearer, I eouUl roeognUe my HsterV quick, nervous liread. 1 rose and came forward. The stone fence directly in front of me was broken away, and through this* convenient aperture 1 Kitted forth-upon tho road.
My sister stopped 'short when she .aw.ine. I eoiiid ill control tbosiiriek laugliter Ibal. rushed to inv lips. iAt lehgt.h. however, my fun seemed

I was very cliise to her now, and was cerching her faco with alarmed eyes. She was smiling, but there seemed something horribly vacant in i'- the smile. At last her eyes opened. and in strange, absent, way she murmured: ••Only in fun! Only in fun: (.»is. the aniuisli and remorse that 1 felt as those idiotic words fell upon my ear. I put my trembling arm about her waist and we walked homo together. Ail the way liomb sho kept murmuring in that terrible, altered voice, with that meaningless empty smile, "Only in fun! Only in fun!"
Her reason was gone forever. She lived three ycar.-, a perpetual reproacli to J"-1 an ever prosont misery I think tlial it was the agony which aeorge I'onrov s-iw mo sutler that iiado him, tv yeais after Pamela's leiuh. asu me to beco rie his wife. 410 was lie v. i-.i ithy and prosperous jrtist then a YO'i SOU him now, and lot the pou.'.' liter who hud wooed my Bister.

The reeeiii failure of a firm of "Complexion exports on Kovii'Uvnih street.

As they were not particularly well iitlveitiseuj lit that, the revelations will give some notion of the amount of money which the heavy advertisers in this line rau»t spend. A man who some years ago was tin assistant in a doctor's ottice on Thiriy-tiiii street now lias three establishments in New York} and a number of branches throughout the country, lie advertises the cure of sunken cheeks, red noses, weak eyes and muddy complexions. Apparently there are a great many people who are decorated wiMi initios of this sort, for the advertising of this particular operator amounts to a very substantial fortune every month. It is a curious thing" that the more experts write about the complexion and the more conclusively they show that it depends entirely upon health, cleanliness, a simple diet and outdoor exercise, trie greater the army of

Dr. Holmes reminds his readers in the concluding number of Ins series o!: articles entitled, "Over the Teacups."! that he has passed his rlst birthday. He will not cease to be vivacious inj his literary style while he lives to write at all, and his poetry is as felicitous and his humor as fascinating now as they were more than a halt century ago. Here are specimens of both, which we quote from the current number of the Atlantic Monthly. Treating nf a woman much sought in marriage, yet always refusing suitr ors, be say?: "I do not believe a nature so large, so rich iti atVoetion. is going to .'all, defeated of its best inheritance of life, like a vine which tinds no support for its tendrils to twine around, and so creeps along the ground from which nature meant that love should lift it." And in an aside remark, elicited by the mention ot chasse-eafe of brandy, we find this youthful veteran saying: "This drinking of brandy 'neat' 1 may remark, is not quite so bad as it looks. Whisky or rum taken unmixed from a tumbler is a knock-down blow to temperance, but the little thimbloful of brandy, or Chartrouse, or Maraschino, is only, as it were, tweaking tho nose of teetotalism."
Woolen Stilting*.
Many woolen suitings are imported with borders of embroidery and deep embroidered points for the top of the sleeves with ostrich plumes set in the embroidery. Other borders are set with a band of otter or uncurled astrakhan running through the embroidery or as a straight border below the embroidery. A wide network of knotted silk cords in the mixed colors of the suiting is another border that ends it a close fringe and is ornaruenfed by a band of otter running over it.
The softness and exquisite silken textu'e of tho new wool goods leaves nothing to be desired. There are lama cloths lighter in texture thUn tho old-time cloths of that name, but more loosely woven than camelshair cloth nnd not unlike the tashon cloth of last season. Hindoo suitings are exquisitely soft and when figured are ornamented with palm leaves and other designs in raised wool like the figures seen on Turkish cloth and oilier goods of Oriental make,.
AnecrtoU* of Webster.
When quite voting at school Daniel Webster was one day guilty of violating tho rules and called up by tho teacher for the old-fashioned forrttling of the hand, llis hand happened to bo very dirty. Knowing this, on way to theteachern' desk he spat upon the palm of his right hand wipping it otf on the side of his pantaloons, "(jive mo your right hand, sir," said the teacher very sternly. (tut went the right hand partly cleaned. The teacher looked at it a moment and said: "Daniel if you will lind another hand in this school-room as filthy as that 1 will lot you otT this time." In stantly from behind his back came the leit hand, tho ready reply
•Hero it is. sir,.'

Tll.lv Willi ADV.
A merry partv started out one bright May nit'ining from .Senor Noriega's house to visit tho "White l.ady," as tho principal volcano in the neighhoriioo I was called. The senor himself, dark and stout, with snowwhite hair: Mr. .lames (iregson, It. H. M., vice-counsul in alii, and his daughter. Miss Julia: Don .lose Rodriguez, the young physician just back from Paris, and his friend, Mr. llerlrf i-t (.'lark, whom he had persuaded to take tour through tho Slate of Canca: Senorita Carmen Xoriega, a fair Spanish giri of about lli, betrothed ami soon to be marriod to Dr.
Kodi igue and Don llamon Noriega. It was many, many years sitico tho "White l.ady" had shown any disposition to mischief, and tho expedition they wore now oil was a favorito one among the young people in the neighborhood.
Twisting about in every direction, but gradually mounting Jiigher, tho patient mules, guided by tho peons, moved steadily on. As they rode, Senor .Noriega told them how tho Indian village, once a popular place, had been buried UP by the last great 'eruption. His grandfather, whohimself could barely remember it, had told him.
At the foot of the central cone they came to a hut occupied by ail old Indian and his wife. Stopping to get some water, tho olti man talked long and earnestly to Senor Noriega, who. as he listened, became graver and graver. ••It seems," ho said, speaking to Mr. (iregson, "that old Juan hero tells us ho thinks the mountain is not safe, lie has heard a good deal of noise lately, and tno earthquakes havo beon more numerous. Ho says, too, that it lias opened into two small craters. Shall we go back':"'
Mr. Gregson was more than half in. clined to do so, but the unanimous protest of tlie younger members of the party overruled both himself and the senor, and tliev once more started up. It was noticed that Mr. Clarke rode as close to Miss tiregson as tho trail permitted. This, howover, was nothing new. for since his arrival, some six weeks beforo, "to stay three or four days," ho had been as much with this young lady as he could.
Headline the pass at last—a break in the high wall surrounding the old crater—a magnificent view lay before them. The basin of tho volcano was about a mile long and half a mile wide. Indescribably wild and rugged, tho rocks of lava had been tossed about in the most extraordinary manner: and with their clean, dark, glassy surfaces, sharp angles, and wonderful shapes, they looked likb nothing the younger people had ever seen before.
Suddenly there seemed to bo more light, and turning they saw a column of fire shooting high into the air. In spite of the dancer, all stood still lor a moment. It disappeared, falling back into the basin, and a few moments afterward a thin, brightlyred line appeared in tho pass where they had been standing and began to slowly creep down the mountain side, The Java had begun to How! With a shudder Senor Noriega spoke in a low tone to tho peons, and once more the party moved ahead. It was frightfully dillicult work, the run I was so bad and the light so poor. liven one of them knew that if they did not get away beforo long, the burning lava would overtake them and they would pol ish horribly. No one fortunately thought of the idea which
W:ih
bringing an almost sickening feeling of four to Senor Noriega—a shower of ashes, lie knew that might come any moment, and that from it there was no escape. Suddenly tho mule which Miss (iregson was riding gave a "lurch, and Herbert Clark slipped and fell into one of the oivices.
The party stopped and called on him, but there was no answer. Thoy could see him when the lightning Hashed, but he was in a .swoon or dead, he lay so still, in a moment Julia was olT her mulo, and had untied the riata or raw-hide fastened to lier saddle. Tying itaround her waist, she told them to lower hor down. Her father nnd Dr. llodriguoz began to object, but in a voice utterly unlike her own sho told them sho mount to SO-
Placing a saddle on the sharp cage of tho lava, so that the ropo should not be cut, they lowered her down, aud she, unfastening the ropo, tied it aroud llorbert's body and called to them to pull it up. (jetting him to the surface, thoy lowered it again for her, while Dr. Rodriguez bandaged up his friend's head.
Nothing further occurod until firm ground was reached again, but two months afterward a double wedding was celeorated at the vico-consul's house-

GLADSTONE AND DEfKW.
Krtltor Dnnn Compar«i lh« Two lirenl 8pe«*ohmrtk«r*» New York Sun: The two most prolific speechmakers in our language in those timos are Cliauncey Mitehel Depew nnd William liwart Gladstone. Mr. I'opew is 3U years old, and Mr. Gladstone will bo SI next month, llotli of them aro strong, full of vim, nnd in tho fullness of their moiital po.vors. Gladstone is a parliamentarian and publicist: Depew is a lawyer. railroader, and business man. Gladstone is a more learned scholar than Depew, who is a more nimblewitted man than Gladstone. GladI htono has been a prominent liguro for nearly as many years as Depew has lived. In the activity of Depew and
Gladstone there is no surcease. Gladstouo is one of tuo most voluminous authors of tho age: Depew has not beon what. Carlyle spoke of himself as i, being, "a maker of books.'' but ho is more of a ban.iueter than Gladstone is. I Hoth Depew and Gladstone aro inenof courtly manners, but Gladstone is less genial than Depew. liolli aro owuers of estates, but perhaps Depew is more atlluent than Gladstone. Gladstone may again be Premier of Kngiand, and Depew may yet bo a candidate for President of the I nited States. Depew was a student at Vale Gladstone' at Oxford, liolli of them aro churchmen. Gladstone is said to bo the master of seven tongues but Dopow's linguistic genious is boundless. Gladstone is a Homeric and classical erudite so in Depew. Gladstone has been a Juuior l.ord of the Treasury, Member of the JYivv Council. Secretary for tho
Colonies,, Chancellor of tho Kschequer, itnti Prime Minister Depew lias been an Assemblyman, Secretary of State in the State of New York, Minister to lapau, aud President of tho I'nion

Whom They Cumn From and How 'I hey AM* Shipped* The Malaga grape is large, crisp and delicious, and is now a special favorite since tlie pliysiciaus were presc.'ibaig it last winter as liio best thing ttiat could Do eaten by sullerers from tho grip, 't he consumption of the fruit in this country has increased 100 per conl, in the last ten years. Hul supplies are limited. From a. small province only of Malaga aro the grapes shipped. They are of such a lender nature that they can bo shipped only in September, when the fruit is first ripe, and a few thousand barrels is the limit of American shipments. Spain, however, sends to this country largo quantities of grapes which are called Malagas.
Tho Spanish fruit is while in color and has astonishing tenacity of life. 'The grapes begin to ripen about tho middle of August, and aro usually harvested by Oct. 1. The bunches, when plucked from tho vines, are piled in ventilated plaeos to a depth of two or threo feet and allowed to "sweat for a couple of days. This is to toughen the skins. Thoy aro then packed in barrels between layers of cork dust, and will keep in that condition for a long time—indeed, almost a year. Last year about NO, POO barrels, or about !i, (iO I. 000 pounds of grapes came to America, and prices for them ranged very high. At least ^00,000 barrels are expected to arrive in Now York this year, and the demand at high p'-iees, will also he active.
