HISS MABGERET'S ROMANCE. Miss Margery stood on the veranda in the aVi alna- rtfthn liiYiiriant rlpmRti vines, und watched the man and woman in the garden among the roses, with a sorrowful little shadow on her face. It was a sweet, pleasant f ?MnitA thA aWnw on it. Rnd tho fw silver thread that flve-and-thirtv vears had left among the brown tresses on her forehead, a erave. kind face, with a soul looking out ml mm 1 of the brown eyes, and making you feel at nnra thftt farcrv Marsh was a woman tn bo trusted, and one who was able to stand alone with her pure womanly dignity, But it is a sad thing to see any woman or man, for that matter standing alone in the world. God never meant it to be so. The man she saw helping Elfie Darryl to tie up her rose bushes was John Cramer. She had known him years ago, when they were children, in fact, and she had were vuiiurcu, iu tatu auu euo unu ucici , . v: ' r xorguuen uun, suuugu wir i wuu iiitu I ULIIU nun guuc, aiiu uuiu "i lucm ncio growing old. She had loved him then, and her heart was not one of those which changes easily and forgets the absent face. She had thought that he loved her. Indeed, she was sure that he had, for with John Cramer, softly whispered words meant something. lie whs not the man to use words lightly. But an uncleof his ia England had died suddenly, and he was sent for to take charge of affairs, and the rears had come and gone, 15 of them, she told herself, as she thought it all over, and that the man she had loved Teas loit to her. Well, it waa better to have a sad yet weet little memory of pleasant vanished days, lhan a life full of discord and regret for hasty action. Now she was eure that he had ceased to care for her in the old way, and if he had cared for her as she wanted the man she married to, he could not have forgotten so easily, lie never could have forgotten. And since he could forget, it were better that everything between them had ended as it did. But her woman's heart would feel its loneliness sometimes in spite of her, and vearn for something to 1 can on, and some one heart clearer and nearer than any other heart could be, to confide in. And this morning, ahe saw the man she had loved walking and talking with Elfie Darryl, her heart cried out Ion sind v for what seemed J u w beyond it3 reach. It is a bitter, tantalizing thing to see the happiness we covet most, coming unasked to brighten lives that have no need of it seemingly lives so full of completeness before that they can not prorerly appreciate the greatest of all boons, love while we wait outside the charmed land, and stretch eager hands imploring entrance where that must be which we have looked for, and not found. It must be somewhere for all of us. If wo could only find it! HSU ÜUUU J, U. usj j. v Europe a thnl of the old love i woke in Margery's heart like an echo of music that has when John Cramer came bacK irom almost died away in a mountain glen, but which something sudujnl v sets ringing again. The man whom she had loved so long ago, the man whom she had thought her lover once, waa near her. The thought wa sweet, nd t th same time bitter. Her lover no hfr arm she had keot herself in a shv seclu ion. lie came often, but she fancied that it mirhi not be. He looked up as they stood among the rose, and saw Margery standing on the veranda. A bricht smile made hw bronze . and bearded face look very much like the face of the John Cramer she had know years azo, and he came up the path, and said as he ran ud the steps and held out his hand in tne old, frank way: 'You have grown to bo a little gray nun, Marocrv. 1 hardlv see vou at au. l am half inclined to think you bide away when I .M fcoro lou are not afraid of me. l All. 1 "Oh, no, sue answereu. quienj, uiuuku th touch of his fingers woke a strange, swift thrill of tird in her veins.

''Perhaps," he answered, with hid eyes on the blue line of the hills. "No, I don't want any in my hair," Margery said, and she would not have them there, due took one, and let it lay against her eyed whila she closed them and thought of many thine. Presently, John woke from his reverie and came to earthly things. 4I believe I promised you a row this morning, Elfie," he said, turning to the girl, as she stood braiding the roses into a chain. "I am ready to fulfill my promise if you are." "I'll be ready in a minute," she said, and ran away for her hat.

'Somehow I caa't make it seem tnat io years have been added to our lives since we used to ge drifting down the river together1 he said, coming to Margery's side. Are we always to go drifting down through life alone, Margery?" She lifted her eyes that were almost frightened ones to his for a moment. "Was he trying to wring her heart? lie was so cruel, cruel. "Yes, I suppose so,' she answered, in a tone that was full of the weariness she could not conceal. "And it is better so, perhaps." "You don't mean that," he said, bending to pick up the rose she had let fall. Drifting alone is a dreary, dreary thing." 'Do you think so? she said, with an effort to appear at ease. "Perhaps there is some one somewhere in the world who would dritt with you, if you could find her." 'Do you know whero she is?" he asked, bending down t the could feel his breath upon her cheek, as they heard Eltie'e step upon the stairs. "Who "is she, Margery?" "How should I know?" she answered, with a forced caity. "You must seek her, if you would hnd her. Ii I Knew though, I would tell you." He looked at her in a puzzled way. Ue could not understand her. A moment ago he would have sworn that she loved him. Now her face was like a mask, and appar ently she was thinking as little of him as of thobphinx. 1 ara ready, "hlne said, and then ho turned and joined her on the steps. And Margery watched them with a weary pain in her eyes. She believed he loved this girl. lue sun was shining on the river as it the clouds were sifting gold-dust over each ripple, as Margery sat down on the bank and began to read. It had been a lonesome day toner. Elfie had come home with &' headache, and everybody else had gone away. She had tried indoors, but the afternoon languor prompted her to tako her book and oeek some spot where there was less of a lotusspell on everything. She opened her book at a little poem of Philip Mars ton's called "Ungathered Love." It was aquaint, sweet little thing sad as winds in Autumu-time, and in perfect accord with her thoughts. As she read the tears crept up into her eyes, and when ehe had finished it the river and the world beyond it was hidden in & mist. Tne plash of ours roused her, and she saw Jonn Cramer drifting down the river at her eet . ,. a , . . , , "You here, Margery? he cried. "And crying? What are you reading that has touched you SO mtr . m . He gave hi3 boat a turn and shot it in among the lilies by the bank before she knew f,rly wfaat he was doing, and was standin by her with her book in his hand, and rca oftly one llttI verse of the poem: 'When the autumn windsgo waillug Through branch 's yellow and brown. When the gray, sad light is failing. And the day is going down, I hear the deeulate evening song Of a love that bloomed in the early spring,,. And which no heart had forgathering." ; Margery'' he cried, suddenly, 4is there any love for me in your heart that I can i f ,i .i. t i j e J have for the gathering? I am tired of drift in alone. Will you drift with roe down bUC I I V VI i "Do you mean it, John?' she cried with a glad, eager light in her eyes. "Are you sure you want me?" "I want you, he said, simply, and he knew by the look in her face that he could father love in her tender'and faithful heart, and he bent and caught her in his arms, and kissed her. And they went drifting down the river in the waning day. and touched the happy shores of thee nchanted land. What Girls Think. An English writer has made a study of the mental operations of the minds of unmarried women,and has reached these conclusions: "at 1 7,the girl thinks often of love: delights in love songs; fills Moore's poems with pencil-marks; thinks Byron s face beautiful; eats Jittle in company. At is, still imnRS a great aeai oi love; would care nothing for poverty, providing she had a sweetheart who adored her; indeed, would rather be poor than rich, were she united to the ideal whom she had not yet met. Still reads a great deal of poetry and novels which deal largely with love and the death of the heroines; passionately fond ot children. At If, a little more critical; finds some of the poetry that pleased her laät year a little weak; looks about for steadier authors than her old favorites; dances every djince in a ball, and is not quite so particular as t the men who are introduced to her. At 20, is not sure whether, after all, it would not be best to be an old man's darling. Nevertheless, she flirts more uniformly; all her shyness is gone; and she enjoys her food whether people are looking at her or not. At Zt her belief in old men is strong; she has lost her prejudices in favor of poverty and cottages, yet she would not insist upon money were her ideal to present himself. At 2J, thinks her youngest sister rather forward in her manners, particularly with young men; 80metime8 gu - u tQ - thftt the invi. whichclude the youngest sister are which people don't want to bo literally interpreted. At 23, is annoyed if any one saf s in her presence that the palor of half the girls one meets comes from tight-lacing.

RAISING A FAMILY.

On, the Government of Children. Having raised a family of six children, I submit the following as mainly the result of my own observation and experience: 1. Learn to govern yourself, and be always consistent. Even children know that inconsistency is a sure mark of error. To govern easily and well you must show yourself worthy to govern. 2. Be just and reasonable in all your own conduct, and invariably keep your word. 8. Give your commands in concise and clear language, and in a kind but positive manner, and then always enforce them. Be careful to avoid giving too many commands, lest the child become confused and think obedience impossible. No practice is more cruel and idle than to give commands that you do not intend to enforce. If you fail to entorce your commanda once in two cases, the child will calculate the chancea of escape, and act accordingly, and will thus be forced to inflict more than double the amount of punishment, in the aggregate, to produce the same effect. - The punishment should be moderate, but prompt and certain. 4. Allow your children reasonable liberty, according to age and capacity. It is impossible at once to maee grown people out of children. Let them be as children while they are children. You should never expect too much. 5. Whn you have infiicted punibhment upon your child make friends with it; never afterward, by word or act, make the slightest allusion to tho difficulty, and never permit others to do so. Let there be an end ot that case once and forever. The child will not fail to duly appreciate this delicacy, and the effects will be most beneficial. 6. Never speak of your child's faults before strangers. This practice inflicts a cruel and ur necessary wound. The child instictively knows that such treatment is wanton and unjust, because it inflicts an extra punishment not specified in the original command. 7. . Treat all your children with the same affection, and never compare one with another. Such comparisons are most odious, nover fail to create present ill will, and, if persisted in, will ultimately produce hatred between brethren. 8. Never take the property of one child to give, even temporarily, to another. It is a very common, but a niotst unjust practice, to take the property of the older childron and give to the younger to quiet them. Such a practico dettrovs the confidence of the child in the justice of the parent, and thus undermines the very basis of good government. If you wUh your child to respect the rights of others, you must begin by respecting its rights, and not by abusing your powers. It is butter to let the little fellow cry for that which ia not his, than to violate the correct principle. 9. Iever jest about virtue or vice before your children. This most erroneous practico destroys all iust distinctions by degrading virtue and elevating vice to the same level. 10. Never jest about punishing your children. It is rather too delicate a subject for jest. 11. Never mention a vicious actor principle in the hearing of your children, but to condemn it. unless, indeed, you wish them to bo dishonest. 12. While you should never permit your children to argue with you, after you nave made your decisions, you should voluntarily, on proper occasions, explain the reasons for them. Children have more reason and judgment than they generally get credit for, and will obey reasonable commands much more readily when explained. 13. It is better, in some instances, not to notice a fault. This is especially true of the children in their teens. When the conduct of the child is generally good, it is much wiser to pass over an occasional error, and trust to toe returning good sense and affection of the child. I remember a circumstance related to me by a friend. A father had raised a family of several daughters, none of whom had violated his commands since their early childhood. Tho utmost affection existed between the father and the children, and between the sisters. On one occasion, and under peculiar circumstances, one of the daughters attended a party of pleasure without ner father's consent, for which she received a severe reprimand. iShj waa at ( noe plunged into the greatest distress. It was in vain that her father and sisters did their utmost to Console her. She rested under the conviction that her father would never again esteem her as he would his other daughters. The whole family were most deeply grioved, and the poor girl did not recover from the wound for some two or three years. It would have been more wise and merciful to have passed this Bingle transgression entirely without notice. 14. Teach your children thAt religion which you believe to be true. 15. Train the eldest son and daughter roperly, and the younger children will folow their example. 16. In short, do yourself what you Would wish your children to do, and then require them to do as you do. Perish policy and ennning Perish all that fears the light; Whether losing, whether winning, "Trnst In Uod and do the right." Fly all forms of gnilty passion, Fiends can look like angels bright; ' Heed no custom, school or fashion, "Trnst in God and do the right." A Visit to AndersonvlUe. A correspondent of the Boston Uerald who recently visited the site of the prison at Andersonville writes as follows: "Anderson is the name of a station on the Southwestern railroad, about 60 miles, or two hours' ride, from Macon. It is nothing but a railroad station, and the only other thing beside the railroad which characterizes the spot is the immense Union cemetery of some 20 acres, over which floats the star-spangled banner. The cemetery is constructed on the spot whero the prisoners were buried, and tne trenches were dug with such precision and regularity that tho soldiers were not generally disturbed, but allowed to remain as their comrades interred them. workine under the watchful eves and the fixad hnvn. neta 0f the Georgia Home-guard.

One lady asks forgiveness of Uod for the murderer of her brother, who sleeps in the cemetery, Sentiments of passionate denunciation are more ironuenu .ccassionauy a man who was in the stockade turns up among the visitors. These men. whatever their natural temper, the superintendent says, can almost bo distinguished bv tho effects of fear, dread . . and vivid recollection, which come ba!ck like a shock into their faces as they again stand on the now quiet and sunlit scene of their war experiences.

There were two rows of trees one inside the other. The outer row has fallen down, save for a few poets here and there, but a large portion of the inner wall still stands. Trees have grown up around the old pen, and a thick growth of underbrush now covers the site of the prison. No traces of the famous brook that ran through the stockade remains, nor of the wonderful wells dug by the prisoners. It is all now a mild and peaceful section of country. Many of the solders have handsome headstones lifted to their memory by friends in the North, and efforts are froquently made to have certain graves 'kept green' with flowcis and a ßhower pot."

Chairs and Tables. Cornhill Magazine. The best chairs and couches are those which you like best, and which best conform to the natural contour of tho human figure in repose. A couch should allow of the feet being put up, if necessary, and should be of 6uch a shape that vou can lie upon it, either full length or half length, witn perfect comfort. To be really serviceable it should not be cov ered with pale blue satin or maize-colored taborot, 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 easy chairs, also covered in tho same tapestry, and arranged so as to look toward the tire, ought to be sufficient for luxury, while six or eight little ebonked 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 tho body, and the scat slopes gently downward and backward, so as to eive one the best possible support with the least angularity or awkwardness. With these pretty little clean cane seats, a black wicker-work chair, two easy chairs, and a couch, you should havo enough places for family and guests in a quiet household. Tables aro of very little real use in a drawing-room; still, we must have one or two to give the whole a furniehed look. A sparo table near tho bay window will allow of a jardiniero and a fern or india-rubber plant to stand in the sun. You can have nothing better than black and gold for this purpoee. Another round, of course, is needed for afternoon tea. There must be some place to lay books and other heavy articles; and the table for this office should be solid and should stand against the wall. Nothing remains but the piano; and that must naturally bo pluced where the exigencies of space demand. Few articles of furniture are more difficult to manage than the coal-scuttle. It is always getting in everybody's way, and it can hardly be made prcsentablo even by the utmost pains of the struggling decorative imagination. It is almost lamentable to think of all the useless efforts lavished by the human intellect upon abortive coal-scuttles. Perhaps the best solution of the problem is that which combines scuttle and what-not in one comprehensive whole, having a box for. the coal beneath, and one or two shelves for knickknacks abovo. This composite piece of furniture may then stand against the wall beside the chimney-piece, where it adds to tho general prettiness of tho room, instead of being an unsightly incumbrance. Moreover, the weight of the coal gives stability to the what-not, and prevents it from having that topple-down air so common with its kind Any such suggestion ot imminent catastrophes should always bo avoided in a drawingroom.

Years ago some of the incidents arising out of the slovenly and ignorant manner in which the "congregational singing" was managed was so ludicrous that it was impossible to resist laughing. I remember being asked one fine Sunday morning to assist at a village Sunday-school. The 'superintendent' was a gardener, and tho way in which he read out one of Dr. Watts' "Divine and moral soncs" for the children to sing was very droll the separation of "verses" of four lines into couplets of two, without reference to the con text, making the greatest possible nonsense of some. One occurs to me now, which made me smile aloud. Fancy the following read gravely, as though it were a complete sentence: Birds in their little neits agree And 'tis a shameful night! But on the same dav. when we attendod the service in the chapel, it was still worse. The old gardener having to read out the lines: God Is his own interpreter. And lie will make it plain. read the first line: God is his own intrumpeter! Sometimes even in the established church, the ignorance of the "clerk" gave rise to am using contretemps. I remember an old man who was clerk at St. Mary's at Leicester, 40 years ago, who always boggled at one word F "i ..i . m in a iavorue nymn oi me vicar. 1 ne nymn was the well-known one We're no abiding city here and one of the verses commences thus: .... ri e ?e no aoiaing cuy nere, This may distress the worldling's mind.

The great est fiascoes, however, arose from the selections of inappropriate tunes. One in which the words "And bow before tho throne, were rendered thus: And bow-wow.wow, wow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow Ana bow-wow-wow before tne tnrone. I have been looking through some letters lately, and am able now to give a few more . . . -- -r specimens, mere is a hymn 1 lorcet in what collection in which the lime "With I mi i . v Any Deneaiction seal occurs, i nave a niem orandum that this hymn waa sung at a chapel in Cheshire, to the tune of "Aaron, 7s," and this is how the above line came in the mu sic With Tby benny With Thy benny With Tby benediction seal. Another favorite tune in these days was called "Job," which was made to do duty for all sorts of "long metre hymns. Two singular specimens oi lnnppropnateness pended. Tno line in one waa.

There is a tune 4,Mile3' Lane" in which, when sung to its own hymn, "Crown Him Lord of all," the repitition of the words "crown Him" has a very fine effect. Unfortunately in the days 1 am speaking of the people in charge of tho singing thought more of tne music they had to sing than of the words, and the following three examples show how ''Miles Lane" was made ludicrous. In Dr. Watts' collection the hymn 22 in the second book concludes ''And see salvation nigh," "Miles'. Lane" made it thus And see sal ee sal m salvation nigh. The hymn 104, first book, same collection, has the lines

W't would defile onr hearts no more. No more pullute oar hands. The last line being sung to "Miles' became Lane', Xo more poll more poll more pollute our band. The one hundred and twenty-sixth hymn," second book of Dr. Watts, has Gilds the whole scene with brighter rays, And more exalts our joys. "Miles Lane" translated the final line into And more eggs more eggs more exalt our joys. There is another tune called "Boyce," of which I will give an example from No. 17 hymn, in Dr. Raffle's Liverpool collection, aud the line is "And learn to kiss the rod." "Boyce" makes this And learn to kiss and learn to kiss And learn to kiss the rod. Waste Not, Want Not. "Hans, what keepit you owad so late tonight?" "Well, Katrina, I vas at dot teevayder.

A responsive whoop was heard from the woods near by, but the young man did not appear until a scouting party brought him in by force. It was not until he became fearful of losing the girl, whose patience gave way to anger, that he mustered enough courage to face the ceremony. " Never deceive a lawyer.
