IXJVED TOO MUCH. Tn Colorado Spring* did dwell Once on *» time a dashing belle. Whmwi name was Hannah HunnlwelL A blooming, buxom law* was she. And ahe was sweet as sweet could be— So ail the fellows did agree. But Hannah Hnnniwell was vain; That fact, alas! was ail too plain. And caused her family much pain. For Hannah laid uncommon stress Uj»on the vanity of dress— A weakness of her sex, we guess. She had a lovely seal-skin sacque. That often graced her comely l>ack, And sealed her doom at last, alack! For when the wintry winds did blow. Prognosticating ice and snow. Unto her trunk did Hannah go. And straight she hauled that scar-skin out. And, with premonitory flout. She put the noisome moths to rout. •Now, blow’ ye winds," quoth Hannah gay, "So long as tn my sacque I may Gn gallivanting all the day!" Alas, the poor, misguided child! The «nn appeared—the tempest wild Was lulled into a zephyr mild. Then Hannah waxed uncommon pale. And wailed a great and grievous wail To see her pet ambition fail. Much to her family’s dismay. She staved at home day after day. And. as Rhe stayed, she pined away. And still the weather milder grew. The gentle south wind balmy blew. And warmed the people through and through. And while all other folks were glad. Poor Hannah Hunniwell was sad— Or. what was sadder yet, was mad. And so one calm, soft eventide. She pressed her seal-skin to her side, And, with a hollow sob, she died. The chattering gossips love to tell The fate of that vain, foolish belle Who loved her seal-skin sacque too well -Denrer Tribune. Ninon’s Prince. It was tho siege of Paris. The Empress Eugenie had fled from the Tuileries, the Provisional Government had been organized under Trochu, Paris was in a state of wild alarm, and the Prussian armies were steadily making their way toward the city, investing one point after another, and rapidly cutting off all communication between the besieged city and the surrounding country. Winter was coming on; food and fuel becoming scarce; business was entirely suspended; the boulevards were filled with idle, aimless loungers, gazing with sad and hungry eyes upon the long files of troops that marched before them. Into the quiet and aristocratic precincts of the Faubourg St. Honore the grim ghosts of famine and bloodshed had not made their way, and the luxurious entresol of the fashionable hotel where Ninon, the gay little Baronne de Valcour, took her abode during the gnpy Parisian winter was all alight with sunshine. Ninon was leaning back in her cushioned fauteuille with the toes of her slippers extending toward the fire, and her head thrown back wearily, looking the very personification of ennui. “Fifiine, you bother me. Go away.” Fifine departs, but returns again in the space of two minutes. “Madame, vici monsieur.” Madame turns her pretty little head and takes a comprehensive glance at the tall young officer in the uniform of the rational guard. “The Prussians have not eaten yon up yet?" inquires Ninon, with a yawn that she does not take the smallest pains to conceal. “Not yet. Would it be a great source of relief to ma lame if such an event was to take place?” “Rather.” “Don’t you care for me at all, Ninon ?” “Don’t be sillv, my child. Tell me what his Excellency Gen. Trochu is about, and when vou propose.to stain that elegant uniform with Prussian gore?” “Poor Paris!” The young officer sighed and shook his head. “Paris is v. ry nice—all but the Prusc sians; and no one is giving any parties. That annoys me.” “Ninon, are you as really heartless as you seem?” “Just about. What do you want me to do?” “Tell me von love me, Ninon, just a little.” “But I don’t.” The boyish lips trembled and a great wave of sorrow spread itself over the fair, fresh countenance. Then he knelt dow-n by her side and a single tear fell on the little hand that he stooped to kiss. “Ninon, Ninon, won’t you love me?” “You are a stupid boy and you must go away or I shall never eat my breakfast. You are a very nice boy, Armand. but you look as if you were going to cry.” “Ninon!” the word sounded like a cry of pain. Then he kissed her hand again and turned to leave her. “I shall not come again. Ninon.” Madame de Baronne disfigured her pretty lips with an incredulous little move and the door closed upon her boyish lover. Paris in a state of siege 1 A city of 2,000,000 inhabitants surrounded bv the force of a powerful enemy and all supplies cut off! The streets were fil ed with a gaunt and hungry crowd of desperate men and despairing women. The sounds of distress and suffering began to make themselves heard even in the luxurious quarters of the Faubourg St. Honore. where Ninon de Valcour ivo-e out her days in wailing over the dullness and dreariness of the gay capital. The high. price demanded for all the necessaries of life began to exhaust even the princely De Valcour revenues. Tae establishment must be reduced aid Baroness Ninon awoke out of her long dream of luxury and laziness to face life for the first time serio tsly. One among Ninon’s friends was missing. The boyish form of the young offie r, with hi. untarnished uniform and nnu ed sword, appeared no more among her guests. At first she smiled at his absence, then insensibly she beg n to w itch for his coming, and.as the days p ssed one after another, Ninon grew anxious. It was he evening o r the 24th of Novi ml»er. Ninon was sitting alone when a quick, hurried tread sounded behind t e chair, and the clanking of a sword start ed her. “Armand!” she exclaimed, as she turned and encountered the excited glance of the young officer. “Yes, Ninon! At last Paris is aroused. To-morrow there will be a grand sortie. With 100,000 men we shall leave Paris, march upon C! ampigny—or. to Villiers. Ducrot has sworn to re-enter Paris only victorious or dead. I have come to say good by. Before to-morrow night Pin sian b ill or bayonet may have quieted forever the heart that loves vou so passionately. Kiss me, Ninon, and God bless yon.” Ninon lifted the brown hair from the fair young forehead; a moment her lips rested there, and she murmured. “G«l ble-s you, my Armand!” And then he pressed her passionately against his heart, and then he left her. In the morning the troops were in motion. With stern and set determination they moved forward looking neither to the right nor left, lest the sorrows il. faces of the women they loved should unnerve their hearts and unsteady their hands. At the head of his company rode Armand de Rocheeteur. He did not turn his head, but the hand that held the bridl? rein shook as the heawr tread of his powerful horse bore him slowly on beyond the gaze of the bright eyes ths-t looked down upon him. Quietly Ninon watched him go, steadily she looked after his retreating form.

A soft mist clouded his flashing e.ves, and as the distance hid him further from her view she murmured gently, “Armand, God witch over thee!” All day long, that terrible 30th of November, the incessant rear of cannon echoed back into the stillness of the city's streets. Pari, held her breath in anguish. Outside the walls the sickening drama of battle, with all its horrid accompaniments of tumult, noise and bloodshed; inside the no less horrible torture of suspense, as those left behind waited with blanched faces and bated breath for news from the scene of conflict. Among the foremost in the strife on that terrible morning rode the boyish officer, Armand de Rochecceur. The pure blood of his Norman ancestry | courses wildly through his veins today. France is his life, and he would give his life for France. Early in the afternoon Champigny yielded to the passionate attack of the French troops. Amazed at their defeat, the Germans fell back to recover • from their bewilderment produced by this almost their first reverse. Then, rallying from their surprise, reinforced by fresh troops and protected by their batteries, they fell upon the French with a sufll r fury. Wita a wild feeling, hal ' half despair, Armand saw the line give way. “Cowards!” he muttered below his breath. Then, turning suddenly to his men, he cried: “Courage! Will you go back to your women and tell them you fled from Prussian guns? On! on! Conqueror die like Frenchmen!” Then he rode forward; but the terrified, panicstricken men were deaf to his call, and suffered him to go alone. With his right arm uplifted he rushed toward the Prussian line. Ninon has listened all day to the sound of that terrible cannonading, waited all night in frightened suspense for news from the scene of battle—-for tidings from Armand de Rochecceur. In tiie morning no word has come. Dark circles have appeared under the brown eyes, and their brilliancy is all faded, gone out in that long night of watching. Restlessly Ninon paces the long salon. Finally a sudden impulse seizes her, “I will go and find him.” She finds him at last.' A s she ap- I prouidws his bedside she trembles. She looks upon the white bandages that lie upon his eyes and shudders. Then she speaks to him, and the glad smile that flits across his lips reassures her. His single hand goes out to meet hers, and he tries to speak. A warning gesture from the nurse attracts I Ninon’s attention, and she whispers: “Do not talk, Armand; you must get well first.” From an old soldier who watches over him Ninon learns the history of the sortie. As she listens'to the story of how bravely the young soldier bore himself on that dreadful day, there is a look of newly-found happiness in the brown eyes. Suddenly they fill with trarsf. and her lips murmur softly, “I have found him, the Prince.” Ti e Sister of Charity comes and whisper , gently and pityingly, “Madame, he will be blind.” “Armand, my !ove! God help you!” Then she lifts her tear-stained face, lit up with its wonderful light of love and pity, and looking at the sympathetic cowitenence of the poor sister, whispers, “He shall see with my eyes.” T! e si-ter looks into the depth of the lovely eyes raised to hers, and tljßks, “ He is not much to be pitied, the brave Through long n ghti of fever and days of weary restlessness Ninon wa died by her lover’s side. Strength returns to the crippled liody, but the sorrowful eyes al ways “"wear that helpless, vacant expression peculiar to the blind, and the strong right arm is represented only by an empty sleeve. He is not forbidden to speak now; a - d oue day. a. he hears Ninon's tootstep by the bedside, and the soft rustle of her dress as she bends over him, he says, “You are always with me, Ninon, are you not, or do I dream it ?” “I am always with you. Armand.” “What brings you here?” “Because I love you. dear.” “Love me?—but I am a cripple and blind.” “Yes, Armand. Your right arm and yonr eyes you have given to France. Will you give the rest, to me?” “Ninon!” and the left arm, the only one he has, draws her quickly and passionately to his side. Her soft breath plays against his cheek, and as his lips meet hers she whispers, "Armand, my Prince, I love you. ” Sit Down. Please. The best chairs and couches are those which you like best, and which best conform to the natural contour of the human figure in repose. A couch should allow of the feet being put up, if necessary, and should be of such a shape that you can lie upon it, either full length or half length, with perfect comfort. To be really serviceable, it should not be covered with pale-blue satin or maize-colored talioret, but with a good tapestry covering in a neutral hue, say sage-green or dark, rusty red, to wear well. The tapestry should not be too fine to lie down upon, or even, in the privacy of family life, to lay one’s feet upon. And the whole couch should, if possible, turn toward the fire, so that its occupant may have his face toward the cheerful glow. At the same time a little wickerwork table —black and gold, if you will—may hold a lamp for reading. As to chairs, a couple of good, well-stuffed easv chairs, also covered in the same tapestry, and arranged so as to look toward the fire, ought to be sufficient for luxury, while six or eight little ebonized and cane-bottomed gossip chairs are the simplest and prettiest “occasional” furniture you can have. The gossip chair has a curved back which exactly fits the natural curve of the laxly, and the seat slopes gently downward and backward, so as to give one the best possible support with the least angularity or awkwardness. With these pr.tiy little clean cane seats, a black wickerwork chair, two easy chairs anil a couch, you should have enough places for family and guests in a quiet household. The New Family. The new family were moving into the corner house. Mrs. Brown stood at the side window and carefully noted the shape of the liedsteads, the size of tii« mirrors, the upholstery of the chairs •vnd the amount of nickcl-plate on the coal stoves, and then she drummed on the glass and called in her boy and said: “Henry, there’s a new family moving in on the corner.” “Humph! I knew that two hours •go” “You’d better come in and wash yonr face and slick up a little, for I expect they are a real stylish family.” “Style! They ain’t got no style 1” "How do you know?” “Why, they’ve got a boy half a head talier’n me, and I licked him with one hand tied behind me while they were taking in the first load of goods!” The I’nfortnnate Sale-man.

GOSSIP FOR THE LADIES. The American Girl. [A vouni? Enelisb poet named F. W. Myers, in a poem entitled, a A Letter from Newport, makes this neat attempt, to describe the indescribable American girl:] Though English eyea more calmly soft Look from gray depths the appealing charm; Heddens ou English cheeks more ofv The rose of innocent alarm; Our old-world heart more gravely feels. Has learned more force, more self-control; For us through sterner music peals The full accord of son! and souL But, ah, the life, tho smile untaught. The floating presence feathery-fair! The eves and aspect that have caught The brilliance of Columbian air! 1 No oriole through the forest flit r More *heeny-plumed, more gay and free; On no nvmph’s marble forehead sits ; Proudlier a glad virginity. So once t he Egyptian gravely bold Wandered the lonian folk among. Heard from their high Lotoon rolled That song the Delian mat lens sung; Danced in bis eves the dazzling gold. For with his voice the tears had sprung—- “ They die not, these! they wax not old, They are ever-living, ever young!’* It Made Her Mad. A Philadelphia woman was so excited and nervous from reading about people ; being roasted in fire.% because of the absence of the necessary means of escape, that when her husband died she absent-mindedly asked the undertaker if it wouldn’t be a good idea to have a fire-escape placed on the coffin. He said he thought it would; and after he had left, and she got thinking over the matter, she was mad. — Surristowu Herald. To Women Who Want to Write. It requires a certain type of ability to be a successful newspaper writer, says the Boston Herald, and the woman who wants to turn from sewing because it doesn’t pay to writing because it does pay shows herself utterly unappreciative of the work. Newspaper correspondence is not a trade, a mechanism, an industrial pursuit, to be chosen on the ground of its being a remunerative vocation. Like all forms of literary work, it chooses its votaries to a degree rather than waits to be chosen by them. If a woman is bora with a talent to write she will write—there is no possible doubt about that. Beautiful Capri Girls. The beauty of the Capri girls is proverbial, and many of the artists have fallen captive to their charms, their darkly brilliant eyes, half-Orieutal type of face, so enchanting for a painter. ‘ Perhaps the most celebrated case was that of the son of the Hon. Mis. Norton, the English poetess and author. During his sojourn there, while painting a Capri beauty, he fell in love with and married her. much to the disgust of his h'gh-born relatives; but it was a sorrowful affair for all concerned. The mother never forgave her son the disappointment he occasioned her, and the future Lady Grantly was made to give up her beautiful children to their English relatives, that they might be brought up and educated as became their father’s station, wh le he lingered out some years of a quasi-happy existence, dying at last from the effects of dri king. His wife, Lady Grautlv. the former Capri beauty, now a middleaged woman, with no traces of the fatal loveliness that caused her such unhapp ness in her domestic relations, still lives on the island, an I at long intervals her children—married in England—come to see their mother; but the influences of another sort of , life and society are stronger than the I ties of b ood, and there is little sympathy between them. — Boston Transcript. High-Priced Garters. I As we went down Pennsylvania avenue, I noticed some very handsome silk and gold articles of women's weir. “Oh, Dickey,” said I, “just see those handsome jarrefieres.” “Those what?” said she. looking at some fur coats in the window. “Those jarretieres, ” said I. “with the silver and gold buckles, and the silk rubber net.” I “Oh, you mean garters?” said she. “That’s the vulgar for them,” said I. “It’s the common sense,” said she; I “but what's the price?” “We’ll go in and see,” said I; “I suppose not more than a couple of dollars.” Then we went in. and, bringing up a modest clerk. I asked him what the price was. He took them out, a”d, spreading his fingers up through a blue I pair with silver buckles till they looked | like they would fit Jumbo, he said he ; could let me have them for $12.50. “Too much,” said I. “How are those with the brass buckles?” “Brass, indeed,” said he, “that’s gold, \ and you can take ’em along at SSO. ” “Good Lord.” said I, startled out of my usual equanimity, “I can find a better use for a SSO bill than holding my stockings, up with it, "and I flounced out, followed by Dickey covered au inch deep with blushes. O. O. 8. was with us, too. I am sorry I to say, and the man’s face never changed color any more than if he was a bronze statue. He even smiled at me, and said he reckoned when garters got that high they ought to be necklaces. Men are just too despicable for any use. They are mighty prosy subjects for poetry, but I must burst forth: Great Jove, we read, made everything From cold and sticky, lifeless clay. And so he must, to get the earth, Have wades!

Beauty and Talent. All women, even the ugliest, feel : that beauty is a weapon on their side in the battle of life; like to see it exert a force, and when it is great and, so to speak, beyond criticism, admire it with genuine heartiness—heartiness as real as that which men show in their admiration for strength iraiifitted in any conspicuous way. Let any one of the thousand cynics now lounging in London ask himself whether an English Prince who made a messalliance for money or for lieanty would be sooner forgiven, or whether the love match of Napoleon 111. was not one main cause of that popularity with English women, which outlasted everything but his surrender. They thought he should have performed the impossibility of “cutting his way through.” To this very hour the deep feeling of English women for the French Empress, though founded, of course, on pity, is greatly assisted by the recollection among the middle-aged of a triumph so conspicuous and so visibly owing to personal charms. This kind of female interest is universal, and extends in a.more languid degree to the men, who find in national appreciation of beauty not only the charms which j spring from any kinship in taste but an j excuse for a secret imbecility, a power: ■ Icssness in presence of the attraction, ! which they all resent and feel. We wonder if, beside all this, there is any I residuum of the old Greek feeling that j beauty was a clear good in itself, a harI monions something which indicated I that the gods of nature were essentially I and at heart hostile to man. The next Prince who ascends a throne I anywhere will have his praises and : qualities hymned on the European j wires, but if he were an Apollo or a Jove the bulletin-makers would feel I instinctively that to say so would be regarded not as adulation, but as ridi- ■ cule. It is for women to be beautiful— I for men to be dignified—the latter

credit arising from a different order of ideas, the idea of harmony between , place and appearance in the world. We should doubt if beauty were admired in the abstract very consciously, but that th. ’interest excited by beautiful women rivals the interest excited by beautiful scenery, and this among those who never see either except in pictures, we have no doubt whatever.— London Society.

Kelly, Clerk, and Jim Hew itt. Sheriff, of Carroll county, came to Atlanta and determined to call on Gov. Stephens. Before doing so, they took a shave, had their hair trimmed, and dyked up in new suits. The haH door of the mansion was open, and tho visitors, noticing two men at the other end of the hall, walked in. As they passed the threshold they bowed and touched their hats gracefully. The men at the lower end of the hall did the same. “They motioned to us to go in this parlor,” said Kelly, turning to the right and walking in. After sitting there i awhile, Hewitt said: “Are you sure that fellow told us to I come in here?” “Yes,” said Kelly. “But I'll go ask ! him again." As Kelly walked out of the -parlor > door he saw a man walk out of a door ■ on the same side, at the other end of ' the hall. “Did you say go in there?” Kelly : asked, beckoning back into the parlor. Instantly the man at the other end lieckoned back to the parlor, and Kelly re-entered it. “He says right in here, Jim. I saw him again." Another long wait. At last both visitors got uneasy, and determined to try it again. As they walked out into the hall, two men entered it again from the same side, lower down. Hewitt and Kelly again motioned toward the parlor. Both the strange men pointed to the parlor. They started back, when Kelly stopped suddenly, gazed intently at the two men and then shook his head. The bald-headed man down the hall did the same thing. He then lifted his leg, and tho bald-headed man below did the same thing. “Look here, Jim,” said he, 'TH be. swamped if we ain’t been talking to ourselves all the time. That end of the house is a looking-glass.” And that’s just what it was.— Atlanta Constitution. A Man In Stays. Mr. Richard A. Proctor, the well-, known lecturer on astronomy, once tried the experiment of wearing a eorI set, and thus describes the result: “When tho subject of corset-wearing j was under discussion in the pages of the English Mechanic, I was struck." he says, “with the apparent weight of evidence in favor of tight lacing. I was in particular struck by the evidence of some as to its use in reducing corpulence. I was corpulent. I also was disposed, as I am still, to take an interest in scientific experiment. I thought I would give this matter a fair trial. I read all the instructions, carefully followed them, and varied the time of applying pressure with that ‘ perfect y stiff busk’ about which correspondents were so enthusiastic. I was foolish enough to try the thing for a matter of four weeks. Then I laughed at myself as a hopeless idiot, and determined to give up the attempt to reduce by articial means that superabundance of fat on which only starvation and much exercise, or the air of America, has ever had any real reducing influence. But I was reckoning without my host. As the < Chinese lady suffers, I am told, when I her feet-bindings are taken off, and as the flat-headed baby howls when his ' head-boards are removed, so for a while was it with me. I found myself maniI feetly better in stays. I laughed at | myself no longer. I was too angry with myself to laugh. I would as so< >n have condemned myself to using j crutches all the time as to wearing always a busk. But for my one mouth of folly I had to endure three mouths of | discomfort. At the end of about that time I was my own man again.” i Lafayette’s Diplomacy. An anecdote which sheds some light on the value of Lafayette's professions, ' and his readiness in repartee was current in Boston at the time of his visit, j although Mr. Quincy cannot vouch for its authenticity. The General, it ap--1 pears, on being presented to some old soldiers, was heard to ask the leader of k tLe group if he were married. L'pon receiving an answer in the affirmative, i Lafayette responded with most tender emphasis: “Ah, happy man!” To the person who was next presented the same question was put, but here the rei I ply was: “No, sir, I am a bachelor.” I i “Oh, you lucky dog!” whispered the j questioner, with a roguish twinkle in i his eye. These apparently inconsistent j ! remarks were overheard by a bystander, , i who taxed Lafayette with insincerity . I in bestowing equal congratulations in ' : such widely different cii'cumstances. j I “Is it possible,” said the General, turn- , ing promptly to his critic, “that you value the prerogative of humanity so i little as not to know that the felicity of a happy man is a thousand timai greater than that of a lucky dog ?” i ‘ -■ — — - Wakatebennaieniaksekaientasejio1 NHATIEB is the the little Iroquois word that means habitual prayt r.

Thinking Animals. Some of the lower animals are not only gifted with memory', but with thinking and reasoning powers. For instance, if an ant encounters a fly, it will return for assistance to take the flv to its home. That is reason. The ant concludes that it. is beyond its individual powers. Dogs talk to us bettor than we talk to them; aud there is nothing in theau imal creation that surpasses the affection of a dog or a horse for its master. Their affection amounts almost "to reason. Where is the line between reason and instinct? Man is of a dual character —_ physical and mental; the menJal’ i developed in mankind in the highest degree; and it lives after the physical body is dead. After the body was created God breathed into man tiie breath of life, and he liecame a living soul. Is the soul the mind?— George Ileuston. 1 Centenarian Cow.
