BABY'S FINGERS ON THE PANE.

Some of the old pieces after all stand the wear of years remarkably well This old weather-beaten poem by Proctor is now going the rounds of the Eastern press. From the music softly stealing Down the dim arcade of years. Come the melodies I treasure, Hallowed by my joys and toars; And amid their magic numbers, Beaching down a golden chain, I can bear a baby's fingers Tapping on the window pane. When my bauds with toil were weary, And the twilight shadows fell, And I wandered slowly homeward To my cot within the dell Then my weary steps grew 1'ghter, As there floated down the lane, Music sweet of baby's flogers Tapping on the window pane. Ofl?ii the world in coldness met me And would crash me in its pride; Ott misfortune gathered round me To o'erthrow me with its tide. Sick and weary, faint and hungry; I would wander up that lane; Then how clear was baby's fingers Calling at the window pane. ; ' ' Bat one ere a darkened shadow Fell across the cottage floor, And the crape upon the morrow Hnngr its folds along the door. Tears of weariness and sorrow I nav listed all is vain For the sound of baby's fingers Calling a.1 the window pane. Bat metbinks wilhin the cottage Of the city pure of gold, There is waiting for my footsteps Papa's baby as of old. And some summer day in Heaven Treacling up the pearly lane, I shall hear my baby's fingers Tapping on the window pane. HOW IT GAME ABOUT. A True Story of Young Lore. New Orleans Times In the Sunny South is situated a cosy little village, abundant in all the comforts and beauties of a Southern town. Here it was the will of Fortune that I should pas3 my youngest days; and more, that Providence should throw me in the path of Love's loveliest flower, which I finally plucked, a beautiful bud, just blooming with the tinges and charms of youth and innocence; and as romance is ever graceful to the ears of humanity, I rehearse the ta.e of my exchanged affections. The most ardent admirers of romance are generally those who laugh at a tale overflowing with it, yet it has afforded them deep interest the while, and occasion for pleasant musings afterward, ßut now to my mission, which is truth, despite whatvpr irrmmhahilitv mav snriMf. Tn mv twft ilh vear 1 formed the acnuaintance of a boy somewhat older than myself, n,l tW rolled on this acmiftintun and as time rolled on this acquaintance ripened into every man is a youthful reverence, which, a wart, comes naturally to one Youth forms its attachments Of that ase. ouieklv and its dislikes in the same manner. often deploring both in after years, as one of the greatest faults of boyhood. My friend. Robert Leroy by name, had some kind thoughts for rryself, becoming my champion in all di faculties, and finally letting me deep into his confidence. My story begins when in his nineteenth year, and I yet a stripling of fifteen. At this time he became much attached to a beautiful young girl of my age, who lully returned his affections: and he prayed that circumstances would render a union possible, and satisfactory to her own family. But her parents laughed at the idea, and said bantenngly to poor Rob, "go find a fortune, return when Nina is twenty, and you may have her." Little did they think I what effect their words would have on his

actions, for one month later found him away such a nature that I could not tell her what in a distant part of Texas, as he said, to I knew of Rob. In fact, only the day befind a fortune among the plenty that there fore I had received a long and interesting abounded. Many are those who have done letter, telling where he was and how emlikewise, and, instead of fortune, found pri- ployed.' Time had estranged his heart from vation and an earlv trrave. And what is the the faithful Nina's, and he was now son to

real cause? Disappointment in youth s early affections, and nothing else. Though wise heads may smile, it is not the less true. The first pangs that rend a man's heart are ever remembered through hi3 existence; and did first love lead to early union, we would not find so many humans bound for life, but living, as it were, under a curse and hating the day that brought them together. But within my small scope of observation, man's heart is not as true as woman's. Some one has said, and but too truly, that "man's love is of himself a thing apart, but woman's is her whole existence." I'm sure, however, he did not mean that man was not likincr for the romantic lands of Western Texas, he now found himself among the roughest characters of the pla'ns. It hapEened that a wealthy cattle raiser employed im, and being a gentleman, he was admitted to the society of the family circle, where two beautiful girls reigned over the kind-neanca father. Here let ere let us leave mm, graauany rising in the old man's confidence and esteem, and finding sweet and enjoyable company in the two beings whose knowledge of the world was so limited. I continued to reveal in the wild fisplics of a bov, and thought nor carea ior tne pretty maidens who attended the same school and stood in the same classes with myself, t or a while I missed my good friend, but I soon became used to his absence. One delightful afternoon, as vacation was nearing, I discovered a note carefully slipped under the lid of my desk, and in surprise I opened and read it. These are the words that filled me with some little wonder: Mr. C. You will confer a great favor by walking home with me this evening. I know . j r . . t lT 1 you have been a dear friend to Rob and you will, for his sake, grant this request. PUNA U. , o . . . . ., I could not refuse; besides my curiosity juld render such a proceeding most imwould hlftt so when the hour for dismissal had come, I was at her side in gallant obedience. This is what wa3 said on the way to her home: "Clifford," she began, 'you know the relations between myself and Robert, lou were hisfiiend and confidant,and know well how I love him.

were ever the game, and that but lew words express all the loving heart can prompt. Yet in my own case I could hardly find a point that agreed 'perfectly; for I had not broached the subject of feelings. Still she was aware of the little heart-fire that was warming my breast, and I thought I had often noticed a responsive hand pressure. Beside, she inquired less frequently and less interestedly about Rob, and I began to fancy that my flame had communicated to her own altar of affection, and there burned, reflecting my own image in its happy light. Vain imaginings 1 Row little does man understand the affections of a woman until experience and disappointment open the door to scrutiny. How many men in blind and wicked conceit,' fancy themselves secure in the estimation of their adored one, when she, all untentionally, allows his passions to assume such weight and importance in the welfare of his own existence, and all the while her own heart is aching, her form losing its plumpness,and her manner its gaiety, simply for want of an inspiriting embrace and nourishing caress from one who is absent. Her manner - to-' those around her is too often totally different from what her feelings dictate. An unnatural pride is the cause of this, and by it she may unwittingly give encouragement when she least intends it. So it was with me when I called, on my twentieth birthday, fully determined to tell her all, and not once doubting the answer I should receive. Time had built me a stand in the world, and I was able to take and, as I thought, comfort her for her life. We chatted pleasantly; I loved her sweet voice. She smiled at my words. I loved the dimples of her face and the occasional blush that mantled her brow, seemingly prompted by some fair spirit, to render more beautiful that whichLrevered; for surely no word had as yet been uttered to command its presence. The blush is one of love's loveliest tokens when we see it unprompted by word or action. It is the offspring of inward consciousness and godly innocence, and I was entranced. The evening wore on, and I nerved myself for the declaration. Surely some divine inspiration gave her power to read my soul, for almost at theinstant I would have commenced, she said. "Cliff, you are my best friend; I highly esteem you, and have cherished your friendship for many reasons. First, and supremely above all, you were Robert's dearest companion, and I shall ever cherish even his memory. Perhaps he is dead, perhaps his heart is hardened to me, and some one

possessing greater personal charms has won from him that which he had in his keeping, but by all his vows, my own. I feel that I have been cruelly a usmo mocn dis laming the thought, for he may yet be true. Qh I the pain of lost affection," and she put her hands to her face and wept. Imagine my thoughts and feelings at this moment. I was wounded: desperately, I be lieved, and was almost deprived of utterance. I took both hands in mine. She raised her eyes, and met the passionate glance of my own. They did not quiver, and I spoke my heart's dictation, word for word. She listened quietly and earnestly, in spite of the burning tears that wet her cheeks. But in these now seemingly lovelorn eyes, there was no glance of rapture, no modest blush on the face, but an expression of heart breaking agony; and, as I folded her to my breast, she sobbed and tore herself away with a -look of offended maidenhood. I cursed myself for letting my desires overrule my better senses of propriety. I begged forgiveness, and plead my love as an only excuse. She was easily pacified: but that evening I learned that her heart was unalterably another's. Even now my reverence was of the wealthy gentleman who first employed him. So, Nina and I parted, and, despite the circumstance?, her usual "pleasant Areams" was not forgotten. "Nina," said I, as we lingered at the gate, ''how can I be visited with such when my poor heart is crying in its agony? Your good will is even pain, for I can never again be the happy and gay-hearted youth of yesterday." As I clung despairingly to her hand, I felt it shake, and knew that some new emotion wag within her, and then, oh, the desperation with which I grasped at her words can only "Nina," I continued, "this night I think it. a -- -11 1 J 4: c, 1 tne iaies snau xevcai my uesuuy. ouicijr our trials have been somewhat different from the regular order, and you shall know whatever happens, be it shown me in sleep or otherwise.

of lost affection, and judge if it be not something akin to your own. ,1 do not belong to this region of the country, but came from a lovely little city of the South. You said vou lovtd and deeply loved. My own heart beat in the same way for a fair maiden, who was always kind and sweet in her tone and action tcward me. She also had loved, and I was aware that the strongest affections of a woman's nature had been given by herself to an intimate friend of mine. He left his native place and sought this country to gain a fortune. "But his absence continued " for months, and it seemed to me that she whom I loved had lost her tender feelings for my friend. I sought her company more, and was almost decided to open my heart and tell her of eachlight pang that had wrung its tenderness. But even at this time I discovered, by some questions she asked regarding her old love, that her heart was still his, and my plea would be but a vain one. So I hid in my own aching heart a deep agony and left the town, fully determined to find my friend and lay the whole matter before him. I did, and told the tale. He said he had loved her, but the flame had died out, and he was . then married to another. If I could woo and win I had his good will. m He even offered inducements for me to stay with him, he being the instrument of my earning sufficient money in a short time to make all come aboutrightly. " 'For her sake I decided to remain, and here I am to-day, undecided whether to re turn and make my suit, or stay yet longer to increase my horde.' I noticed that she listened with a strange and seemingly deep attention; and when I finished, she looked tearfully iuU my face. No word was uttered, but she held to me her hand which I instinctively took, not comprehending her weaning. But the sight I then caught of a sparkling rkig on her finger, set all doubts aside, and I knew she of whom I had spoken, now sat before me, with her face once more resting in one hand, while I passionately held the other. I heard a sob and knelt beside her. I caught her other hand, and raised the two to my lips, I repeated my tale of love, and she, rising, dropped her heaa upon my shoulder and wept. In this moment of joy I awoke; and now, Nina, will you be surprised when I tell you the maiden was none other than yourself?" Even as I concluded, Nina, rising, held both hands toward me. I grasped them. Her frame shook with emotion. Tears streamed from her eyes as I folded her to my heart and tried to quiet the wild beating of her own. "Clifford," she said between her sobs, ''You are the source of all my future happiness, and believe me, I am yours even, to death. Should Robert return, true or untrue to his early troth, then that death shall visit me soon," and she wept more bitterly at the thought. Two months later two hearts were bound in holy union, and five years have passed since the memorable event. Robert has returned to his native village a heart-broken widower. Nina has gone to the grave of which she spoke, and even as I write, I look upon a living image of the mother, and sigh when I think of the passionate earnestness of woman's love. Robert and I are in business together, and we hope to make a match between little Rob and Nina, but never unless their little hearts receive each other's impression with nature's early sanction.

Punctuality. BT R. W. LOWRIK. Some one defines punctuality to be "fifteen minutes before the time." At any rate, it is not one minute after the time. I must tell you an anecdote of the first Marquis of Abercorn. He invited a number of friends to dinner. The hour for dinner was, and all those invited knew it, of course.- Well, the hour arrived, and but one of the guests had come. Down sat the Marquis and this one guest to the table. The Marquis was punctual, it only one 01 tne Ll c nors was. Bv-and-bv another euest dropped in. and was very much mortified to find dinner being eaten. And one by one all the rest came, and were likewise mortified. But the Mar quis had taught them all a good lesson, and 1 venture to say tnat tne next time tney were invited none of them got into the coffee only, but were on hand for soup. General Washington was so very punctual tht nn one occasion, some friends who were -7 I . I nori n h m at a op.rtain hour, on find ncr that he had not arrived, all concluded that . . . -a . 1 . 11 l . 3 3 &l a.! their watches must have got wrong: and rl rrf-VT intn tnfl nsaiasinniRiver and swim eighteen rr . .P.I miieg down 6tTeam to keep an appointment for afternoon service. 1 traveled through the Upper Mississippi region shortly after, and for hundreds of miles from the place where he lived, out toward the border, I heard of his great feat. The border men re spected such a man. and called him "the minister who made the big swim." Nor is any one too young to begin the cul tivation of habits of punctuality. The boy who is on time at school, on time in class, on neu neun vu an ".aim, uu ov v, , time when sent on an errand, and so on, is apt tobe the punctual business or professional m a I man.

Boudoir sacks with 'anger' sleeves have -been brought into vogue. Large hats and bonnets ire worn more and more as the season advances. It is again fashionable to mjtke chemises with Y shaped gussets in the neck. , A. young gin always iooks wen in a sim ple toilet with a small tunic formed by a scarf. ' öuran satin ana reiigieuse veiling make a lovely combination for, summer evening dressess. Old lace veils and other laces are being brought into service by ; pumng over .Leghorn hats. Cardinal satin belts with a golden edge are pretty when worn with either black or white gowns. A new hairpin has a ball head of Moorish enamel, which opens, disclosing a large Roman pearl. Scarf mantles of the dress material, edged with gathered ruffles, are exceedingly stylish With muslin costumes. The diversities of trimming have now be come so great that more thought is required for the garniture of a toilet than for the sel ection of its material. High heels are not so much worn as they were a year or two ago. It is even rumored that the most stylish shoes will be made without heels next season. Petticoats are all made short. Long dress es are provided with deep balayeuses, ac cording to the length of the dress, instead of having to wear long skirts. The newest French sunshade is black, and upon it a design is outlined by a fine gold cord and all the space inside is filled up with iridescent beads. It is heavy and not at all handsome. Materials used for ordinary traveling dresses are chiefly flannel or flannel finished materials of pure wool. They are more serviceable than bunting or serge. Flannel finished buntings are pretty fabrics and wear well. Some of the newest gloves imported are stitched with hipped edges instead of being sewed in an overhand seam, and are designed for long slender hands, the wrists having long extensions, although they fasten with three buttons only. Pins for fastening bonnets are so orna mented that they are an additional trimming, especially on a black hat. The most stylish are the plain round balls that are cut to ap pear as if they were a hundred little jets fastened to one large one. White petticoats, so long in favor, are out of style. Black or colored satinet, foulard or silk are for every-day wear, and are trimmed with ruflies, edged with lace. r or evening wear cream or coffee-colored foulard is se lected, and those are frequently trimmed with lace. The invention of the French in colors is endless. Just now a shade of raspberry cream and another of crushed strawberries is much affected. The variety in the tints of yellow and orange is great. Buttercups cow slips, maize, apricot and sulphur yellow are the tints most in vogue. Shirred sleeves are again fashionable for summer dresses; others are made with puffs at the shoulder and the old fashioned deep ruffle at the elbow. Another style has the sleeves slashed in several places from the shoulder to the elbow, and V shaped puffs of silk, satin or velvet are inserted. No style can take the place of the graceful coat sleeve so long worn. Belts of silk or satin in the Oriental de signs are more fashionable this summer than those of leather or velvet. 1 hese belts are fastened with agraffes or oxidized silver or jeweled enamel in the mediaeval style. At tached to these belts are small flat bags 01 like material, with plain satin puffings around the sides, and in the center of a rosette of lace is placed a satin bow, a tiny bunch of white flowers, or a small ornament of silver or jeweled enamel.
