DECATUR, ADAMS COUNTY. INDIANA. MARCH 3, 1881.

THE GOLDEN TULIP. “What is the price of that plant, nij friend?'’ I asked of the little Germar florist, at the timer shtip. The man named exactly the sure which I possesi-ed in the whole world aud I paid it and took the flower. .“Were you mad?’’ I hear a readei 1 ask. No, friend. I was only in love. | The lady of my heart had a weak ness for rare flowers, and I felt sure that she would prize such a gift beyond y expression. Therefore I forgot the various persens to whom the sum that I expended was due for value received, and felt happy with the great jnt with its nodding foliage in my arms. ft was the rarest tulip I had ever seen. I was not skilled enough in the varieties of flowers to know whether the man told me the truth or not when he said that only he possessed a flower of those colors,and that by certain mystic flo/ist arts he had produced he flower, which he called the “golden tulip. But 1 felt that it might very well be so when 1 nbserved its splendor n was almost pure gold, save where, at. the bottom of the cup, laid flecks of scarlet and white, and beside it the other tulips on the stands lost their beauty, and looked dull and faded. The pot in which it was planted was a curiosity, too. a Chinese thing with a perspectiveless picture of a lady walking beside a blue little river, attended by a person with a fan and surrounded by square flower pots. The florist offered to send a boy with the pot, but I would not permit it; who knew that the plant would arrive whole and sound, uudeeapitated at its destination ? I carried it myself high in my arms, ! the flower out of harm’s reach above my head, the leaves fanning my face, and found myself in the presence of Helen Harrington, exactly at the moment when she tripped, watering pot in hand, into her garden. Os course she admired the flower, and of course she thanked me. aud her smiles were so bewitching and her eyes so bright, and she was so evidently really pleased that I found courage to speak as I had not dared to speak be-} tore, and tell her how I In- 1 i ■ men f discovered that she returned my affections, aud to end the story as briefly as possible, before we parted we were betrothed. Certainly, under the circumstances, my trust in Micawber’s expectations of “something turning up” was remarkable I had not a cent in the world, not a patient, though my sium, bright with gilding—“ Theodore Holly, M. D.”— had ol;-- ere( l on tn y office door for two months or wore, and no wean’ty relative to aid me in time of need. . Yet I asked a girl accustomed to refinement, if not luxury, to keep house, for me in a year • time -.-.th as n .ch so.. </ froil a a midionaire could have ' exhibited, as coolly as I had spent my '. last dime (promised to my landlady , that, very evening) upon a tulip. I intended vaguely to be rich some day of course —every man does- -and l I had no doubt that luck h ■ ild change before long. i Therefore 1 felt no compunctions of ■ conscience, but went right home in a merry mood, thinking myself the happiest fellow under the sun. I Os course, I expected t j of love would run on smoothly; but r before the next day had . passed I i found out my mistake. I had an early j caller in the morning, uo other than . Helen s father a stout old gentleman, with an imposing manner and a lotid f voice, and a general air of well to-do ’ respectabilty quite annihilating to one ' of my peculiar disposition and habits. Hitherto, however, he had been very e ' gracious to me, aud 1 was quite uupre- ; j pared for the angry frown with which y he stalked into my untidy room as I j opened the door for him. e My heart sank, but I placed a chair 0 for him. and assuming my sweetest I] smile, remarked that we were having * “charming weather.” ( •■Charming fiddlesticks 1” was his au- '■ swer. “I did not come h ie to talk about the weather, and you know it. Don t * you consider yourself a precious rasca.. J sir?” «? I st red at him in amaz“ment. ’ “No one has ever dared to call me 1 • r it " n one. sir, I answered. 1 e , “Hold you tongue, sir ! ’ cried the old ,{ gentleman. “No affectation with me. h You know you are one. \ pietty fellow, indeed, to ask a girl to marry lK ! him within the year. hat do you i mean by it ? h 1 -That I love her.'' I said. H -Bab!" cried (he old' gentleman. * -L->ve -a ii e love, indeed. hen we l love people wc h ive some consideration ?' ' for their comfort. What is your wife, j it you ever have one g- mg to live on, i sir ? AIL fiir, like a chamelcou ? Uood I

! heavens ! your impudence surprises : me.” ' “We must all have a beginning, sir,' I said. “You had yours I believe.” A beginning,” cried the old man. “I did not begin by associating with wild ] young fellows whose very acquainatance ’ was ruinous to my reputation. I did not spend my nights in drinking or gamb ing. 1 did not spend the hours which should have been devoted to I study in recovering from the effects of ! whisky or beer. A new way to rise in the world ! And that is your way. You don’t deny it. Rise! You’ll sink . down to the very gutter What right h have you to ask a girl to marry you ?” | I put my head down on my hands, and hid ury face with very shame. It was all true enough. I was reckless, " ! wild, uu Heady. Yet I tried to falter r 1 I forth au assertion that I was not so bad i as some men after all, and that I in- ; tended to have a large practice, and be steady aud prosperous some day. Above all that I loved Helen better ' th :i my life; which was true enough, i hemens knows. "Good intentions pave the lower re- ' gious, ’ said the old gentlemen when 1 . had finished. Speaking rather more kindly than before, but still decidedly : ■ I cannot give my daughter to one who has given no proof that he intends to put them into practice. But aside i from you habits, 1 have always liked you. 1 think yon might, if ycu choose, become an honor to your profession, and rise in the world in every sense ; ! and since Helen has given her heart to you 1 will make a comprotn**®- lou are both young. Yun can afford to wait on each other. Abandon your evil habits, go to some distant city, then work hard, and try to become worthy of the love of a good woman, and at the ) end of three years return. Then, if you are are what you should be, you may have my daughter. Three yeats ! It seemed an eternity to a young aud ardent lover, but Helen was the only girl in the world for me, and 1 had only the choice of my obey- . mg her father's mandate or .parting with her forever. Besides, the old gentleman was right; j my companions and my habits had not .... — .n,, o f Ollr where the medical students were almost a public nuisance from their wildness and dissipation. I resolved to do what I knew would i ultimately be lor the best; and having declared my resolution, found a friend in 'he old merchant. He gave me letters of introduction to persons us influence in San Francisco, loan d me the wherc.vithal for my journey, and wished inc well But he ' forbade me to write to Helen d tring uiy absence or to commui icate with her; ; in any way. •If your love is worth anythingit will ■ j live without billetdouxt'or three years,” ! be sad, and Helen never disobeyed ’ her father. He is very kind, Theodore,” she said, ! “and we may trust him at his age to know what is be.-t for us. So in a few days we parted, und no I one cun blame me, loving her as f did, if the moment was one as inteise sad- i ! ness. Three years, three weary years before : I mighi see her sweet young face again : . and one of ns might die, or another might take my place in her heart ! . ■' Win could tell? I felt sure of myself, but bow could 1 be sure of her, who ! was so beautiful, so good, and so every- ! way charming that others than myself must also be enamored of her, and , strive to win her. [ 1 -Do not forget me,” I pleaded, as I > kissed her lips at parting, and she ■ promised to be true to me till we met. . J My last glimpse of her was taken as • [ turned my head and saw her waiving ■ her haukercliiet to me from the win i dow. on the sill of which my golden [ tulip in the Chinese pot nodded its gorgeous head in the breeze as though r it were also bidding me adieu. t. 1 shall say nothing of my voyage to j- California, nor .of my first struggle in I the city of San Francisco. Enough - that 1 abandoned my habits ot dissi- \ pation, and became steady and indust , trious. t ‘ I established a small practice almost I, immediately. Il increased. I did my best to earn the favor of my patients (linking of the real benefit, instead e . mcr ij gra pi.ig at my fees, and i considering the sufferer who had turned d to me for aid only so many -good ?.' curses. ’ V Doctors would often sue-, ter v in this way than in atr. other i touud u I it so at least; and my health and ■ strength of body and mind were augmented by the regular life I led, dei spite severe mental labor 1 imposed e upon myself. i j I thought of my dear Helen consta itly, and a letter from her would , hav» been very precious. 1 I bslieve it would have been kinder I

‘s in her father to have permitted a correspondence. I suffered much anxiety on her account, which wight thus bavi been avoided But I had promised to I submit patiently, and I worked without d intermission, thus leaving myself as e little time for thought as possible, d There were women, of course, within r my circle of acquaintances who were s neither old or ugly, but they never made o the least impression on my heart, f What were they when compared to u my dear Helen ? I even shunned society ; not from < any fear of their fascinations, but bet cause it involved expense, and my ob jeet was economy. And un three yaarg pasocd, wnd t at their end I found myself with a fine , practice, splendid health, and a sum of r money laid away for a rainy day, and 1 every wild habit of my youth discarded. It it needless to say that when the : moment my time of probation had expired I lingered no longer. Confiding my patients to a brother physician on whose skill I relied, I took passage for New \ ork at once, and arrived there upon a glorious October day, with a heart beating wildly with the emotions which were naturally bom of the near approach of my reunion with my dear Helen. I only lingered in the city long enough to banish the traces of travel from my person, and then, dressed as becomingly as I knew how—for who ever forgot personal appearances on such an occa- , sion ?—I jumped on a train cars , which ran through ‘“e tOWII where 1 i p.,j parted, three years ago, from my darling. The time of the journey was four j hours—it seemed almost an eternity | to me. 1 could scarcely wait for the train j to slacken speed when the town was , reached. s I strained my eyes to catch sight of f the poplars that grew above her dwelling, and rather ran than walked down ; the wide street which led to the green f land on which Mr. Harringtion's mansion stood, when a scene met my eyes ( that transfixed me to the ground in horror. The poplars stood green and tall as ever, but beyond hem rose one ruined wall, will* empljr ivinrl.iw. an<l IIS foot a heap of rubbish, charred and blackened, and telling, as I thought, of , a recent conflagration. I was too much overcome to move for many moments, but at last 1 sum- , moiled courage to make inquiries with a throbbing heart. I walked up to an old woman who I stood at ii opposite door, and asked her if she could tell me where to find | Mr. Harrington. Sue shook her head. ; “No. she said; nor no one in the ' place. They went away in the night, and we've never heard of em.

All the lamps in the house were lit, and over the table of a rather respectable room on the lower floor flamed a jet of gas. Its snarp hissing —for it was turned on too far—attracted st. I glan ed at it, and remained rivited to die spot. Beneath it, cn the table, stood the “golden tulip" I had given Helsn five years before. The same flower in the same pot but covered with a glass case. Without pausing to think of the propriety of the act, I strode in and bent over it. Then I saw that it was made of wax—the flower, at least. The pot must be. I knew, the very same. It was uot my tulip, but its portrait from life. I struck with my cane upon the table, and a dingy little girl ran in. “To whom does this belong?" 1 asked. The girl started. "It s her's,” she said. “She makes 'em. It s wax.” “Yes, yes," I said, remembering on the instant that wax flower-making was & filvnrit.f» atnis. or».sn* —A’ EJ_i— «<r me see her.” The girl ran away. I waited in intense anxiety, expecting my darling, sure that I should see her, my hands trembling. At the sound of a step upon the stair I s’arted to my feet and stood ready to clasp her to my arms; but alas, only a stout, elderly female, with a vulgar face and coarse, red hair, entered. I shrunk bad as she stared at me in surprise, and strove to compose my self. “I desire to are the lady that made this,” I said. “That's me, sir. I dispose of em, she answered. “What can I do for you?” “You !” I faltered. “I beg that you will tell me from what that flower was copied, and where you obtained the ! vase.” She looked at me in arnaxement. "Honestly," she said. “But bless you. you’re not ill ?” “No," I said “but that flower is an ' old friend of mine; I will pay you any sum for information in regard to it.” The woman looked at me doubtfully. 1 laid a bill on the table. She smiled—her fingers touched the money. “It’s breaking,” she said, "but I ll own up. I didn’t make it—l could t i not: but vou see a lady does ’em that f I boards with me. I was her servant once, and she’s come down to earn her living that way. That ain't for sale. It’s one she made for herself to keep, a flower she was fond over before her eyes. But she makes others —beauties —and she supports herself «ud blind father by it He's very pioud, and won t let i< be known So I pretand it’s me, and sell 'em.' My heart beat rapturously. “Is she here?' I asked; "in this ! house ? ’ The woman answered that they were, : but “would see no one." “Give her this card," I said ; “she will see me.” I waited once more in the little parlor —this time not in vain, for in a few ' moments the door opened once more, ' and I clasped my Helen, as beautiful I and as charming as when I left bar, to ’ my bosom. The tale was soon told. She loved me still, and we were married, and beside our happy fireside the old merchant ended his happy days 1.1 peace and tranquility, and died uless'.ng us. And still upon a stand in one of our I apartments nods the wax tulip 111 all I its golden splendor; and whet- I look upon it I often think how small a price I ' paid for it, compared toils worth, for who would have thought that when in my I extravagance I gave all 1 possessed for j a flower, that through its means I should , have found at last the joy and comfort i which now crown my last days—that 1 by its means my love should be returned I to me ?
