THE STRAWBERRY TAIN, ' f- '- - 1 - T You were a laughing, romping girl, A merry urchin I. And we wandered thro the Summer fields Beneath the Summer iky . We nought a ripe and glowing fruit, Mid grasses damp with rain, Until your little fingers wore A crimson strawberry stain. ,

Then, by the laughi ng brooklet's side, You sang a sweet refrain. Until your own red lips outblushed The crimson strawberry- stain; We laughed and loved the livelong day, With merry childish din; I held a bunch of butt et cops Beneath your pretty chin. The hoary forest trees looked down, With joy upon us twain, And sunbeams kissed the cheeks that wore A crimson strawberry stain. Oh,-darling, don't ycrasometliaoswisk; I Zi To wander forth once mere.

"Ve were sitting together that bright jime afternoon. Brown-üAired Nellte WUtbn lazily turning over the leaves of a book; her be trothed husband, lorn cnandos, enjoying ms -cigar out an me veranaa, nair hidden from view by the climbing roses, and ray sadayed cousin,- Alary .?eaforth; sewing by the low,"open window.' Nellie looked so pretty, nestled downin the great crimson chair, her lovely face aä sweet and dimpled aa a child's, that,onQ could. not help lovingher, though shwwere thf most self-willed, obstinate, provoking little bundle of feminine contrarity that ever, lived. Shutting the book with bserrablariergyi . she remarked "in' a tune 'of the deepest solemnity: "No, 1 never would I" .- - Never would what, Nellie?'' asked Cousin Mary. "Remember, dear wo are ignorant of your thought.'?- xtlJ 1 J u. -Ü.J. "Why,'' replied Nellie, "I'd never marry a Mason, that I wouldn't, if I died -an- old maid. Just fancy one's husband belonging to lodges, taking degrees; and possessing all . aorta of eecreta, not oneofhvhichhisjvii'ejb ever to know. I detest the whole brotherhood, and all their signs and mysteries.". A faint wave of color flushed for an instant over Mrs. Seaford's pale cheek. "Did you not know, Nellie, that Harry was a Mason ?n "No, I. Pardon me, I ' did not mean to 3ay anything to wound your feelings," stamjaered Miss Nellie, glancing compassionately at poor Harry's young widow. "I knew that Japtain Seaforth was a brave soldier, but never until thi3 moment that he was a 2Ia"Yes, he was a member of the 'detected brotherhood and I learned to love the order for his sake. "When I saw him dead sword and regalia by his sidemutely speaking "of life and glory past there was no room in my heart for either doubt or jealousy that he had kept one secret from me.'1 - - - - A sigh that was half a sob welled up from the young widow's .broken .heart, and With: bent head and tremulous lips she silently left the room. , , Tears were sparkling in Nellie's eyes; but she would not acknowledge herself to be in . the wrong . - i,wf mi, ...m Tora left his comfortable seat on the veranda, and smilingly approached the chair of his pertinacious 4adv love. "What, is that you were . sayi n g, . ,2 el 1 iei about the mystic fraternity TT . ! " "I said I ,w.ouId not marry aMason ;"To, if you have anv thoughts of becoming one! please 'remember my unalterable 'resolve,? C Kl ä ADO YlSkTL eatisiilwr "If such indeed, be your unalterable determination, then, dear Nell, you will never be my wife; for I don't look as if you weri ready to annihilate me I am a Mason!" "If you are a Mason, Mr. Chandos, you have shamefully deceived me; and I here and now give you back your promise, and with it the pledge of our betrothal." She proudly' drew from her finger a superb diamond ring, and calmly handed it to M r. Chandos. "Take back your gift, sir, for I do assure you.1 mean to keep my word. J I will not marry a Mason!" 'Think again, dear," said Tom gently. "You are a wee bit angry, just now, and it would be ungenerous of me to take you at your word. By to-morrow you will have gotten over your pet, and " Never!" interrupted Nellie, turning away her disturbed features. After what you have told me I will net can not be your wife." j "Then got d-by, little Nellie. You were ever a spoiled, willful child, but I had not thought you quite so perverse." ! Tom coolly put the ring in his pocket, took 1 his hat, bowed, and in a moment was gone. For the first time in all our acquaintance I was really angry with Nellie Wilton. What a goose you are, Nell, to discard 4 man who loves you so truly, and so patiently puts up with all your vexing little tempers, for such a ridiculous reason! I am,. heartily ashamed of you,1 that I a'ut. Take' Jny '.advice, and recall him before you" sleep this night. To morrow it may be too late, for patience, like everything else, has its limits, and I fancy you have now tried Tom's to the utmost." , , ... : ; -, f - j i Neverl" she iedbursting-into -tears. And it is very cruel of you, liuth, to take sides against me. I won't beg him, to return! I wont if it breaks my hea-r-t!" You could not have loved Mr. Chandos very deeply, thajt's certain, and so . perhaps it's just as well that you should be fn from him." I said with assumed indifference. "But I did," she flashed out, hotly, trying in vain to stifle her -sobs, 'I did love him dearly, and I don't care who kno ws it. And you are a cruel, heartless creature, that you are. liuth Forrest, to suppose that I didn't!" "Then why in the name of common sense, Nell, did you send him to the right-about so . summarily?", 0h, dear, how stupid , you are, Ruth! Don't you see I had to after what I'd - said T I know I shall die, but I don't care, I wish I was dead this minute, for what's the good of living if I'm never to see Tom again?" And with this final summing up of her woes, Nellie ran up to her room, threw her-. self on the bed and cried herself into a raging sick headache, a not uncommon sequence to girlish sorrows, petulance and penitence, such as Miss Nellie was most justly suffering from. r . A week went by, but Tom did not come. Nellie hoped and waited, and secretly tho Jght he might write, or in some way give her an opportunity of making up their absurd quarrel, but Mr. Chandos did nothing of the sort. . t His exasperating silence aroused her pride, and she declared she would , go ; home the ery next day, just to show him that she was not breaking her heart about him by any manner of means. "But you intended to spend the summer with me, and it's not half gone yet . What . will people sayT'; remarked, pretending to be mightily surprised. . . . I can't help what people say. I'm not going to remain here and allow Mr. Chandos to think I'm pining for his return.' ' ! -i)hi nobody 'would snppose that, Nell: least of all Mr. Chandos. He has given you up, I dare say, and troubles himself very lit tle about you, one way of the other." 'Indeed! You are very wise, Miss Forrest and now I will go home, since you 1 presume to know Tom s thoughts so intimately well,? replied Nell, with great dignity. The above conversation took place while we were on our way to visit a poor woman who was quite ill, and whose husband had recently died of consumption, leaving her en tirely destitute, with three children to support, I and not a menu or reiawvw m me wnoie wiae world. We found Mrs. Ilammond much better,
I though still very pale and weak; and sitting

Nellies lace grew crimson, and the hot tears sprang unbidden to her eyes, but Tom did noseem to notice her confusion. He bowed politely and arose to go, but I detain ed mm. . f "sWell, really, Mr. Chandos, this does surprise me; for of all places under the sun, this is the very last where I'd ever thought of meeting you." "That's because vou believe me to be I thoroughly selfish, and so I am as a general I a l I . -. r -ww micg; out Jirs. üiimmona nas no small claim on my benevolence, and I came to do what I could for her in her present sore dis tress." "Claim I Why, how can that beT I don't understand you at all, Mr. Chandos." Perhaps not, but there is nothing so very iStrance about iL . Mrs Hammond s husband. r'wlrom I never saw. was a miserable Mason, which explains the reason of my being here, and sinks me still lower in the estimation of at least one fair lady, I feel quite sure," he aid glancing rougishlv at Nellie. ;;0h,. please,. .Tom,- don't say another WordlT'she sobbed. It isn't that I want to be restored to my old place in your heart I dare not nope so mucn but only to be for given, and then go home and die; for I'm a ateful silly, willful little plague, and no go5dto anybody, and I'd just as leave be dead as not.7 ..The,.tremblkg.v.h&nd , she timidly held out was quicklv put aside. Tom caught her in his arms, and kissed her. half a . dozen times, regardless of the astonishment of good Mrs. Hammond and the capinc wonder of the three little Hammonds. 1 began tq think yoir did not love me one bit," she said, smiling through her tears. ' 'Well, I must confess, I did not take it much to heart," replied Tom, with the utmost a.urance. "iiecause, yeu see, JMlss Nell, 1 knew you better than you knew yourself, and felt confident of winning you, despite yöur solemn asseveration never to marry a Mason." "Oh. you did?, And I, like a simpletoncrying my" eyes out and breaking my heart all for nothing. I'll never do it again, Tom never, as long as I live!" "1 hope, not, dear; for I hope yoa will never again lose your temper for such a tri fle," he answered very gravely. No, only I do like to have my own way. 'Yes, I am quite convinced of that, but jou must learn to bow gracefully to the inevitable, for you are fated to marry a Mason." - know, but I wouldn't, Tom, if you hadn't happened to be a ilaaon.'' i 1 Unanswerable argument! Tom said no more. Tbe Ladles of the White House. Forney's Progress. . From ' the earliest days of. civilization woman has figured prominently in society and government. The records of female influence in England, France, Germany, Italy and .Spain, . are . simply delightful. And while this sort of literature is universally sought from many motives, the women most conspicuous in history are those that are renowned for virtue as well as beauty, though there are thousands of instances proving the last more potent than the first. Modern experience discloses a severer state of female morality in foreign governments.' Queen Victoria, ex-Erapress Eugenie, the beautiful Queen of Italy, the new Queen of Spain," the wife of the President of France (Madame Grevy), the equestrienne Queen of Austria, the venerable Empress of Germany and 'the Crown. Princess the daughter of Victoria are types of a better era and a higher culture. , When we turn to our own country, nothing is. more creditable to republican institutions (than the ladies of our early and recent Chief jiagisiraies. x rum coioniai uays, iroiii Jirs. Martha Washington, - from the brilliant entertainment in AVashington's camp, near Middleblook, in, celebration of the anniversaryLpfilhe .American alliance with France and the subscription balls in Philadelphia, down to her last appearance, when she Retired to private, life, she was accustomed to speak of her public days in Nsw York and Philadelphia as her ''lost days," preferring home comfort and seclusion to the dazzle and dres3 of public life. , Strange to say, the wife of 'John Hancock, the great Boston patriot, who was noted for his genial-home, open house, and sumptuous table, was a woman almost as full of energy as her husband, and an amusing story is told of Mrs Washington and Mrs. Hancock, who were very intimate friends; Mrs. Washington would say to Mrs. Hancock: "Therein a difference; your husband is in the"1 cabinet, a3 Governor of the State, mine is on the battle-field." As showing the habits of those days, so different from our own, and forming such a contrast to the plain'dignity and quiet elegance of General Hancock and his family at Governor's Island, it is related that the first Mrs. Hancock's wedding fan was from Paris, made of white kid, painted with appropriate designs. Fanmounting was then done in this country by ladies. The christening suit Tt her baby came from England, and was of embroidered linen, and stomacher of muslin and brocaded lace. After John Hancock's death she was one of the wonders of the age, and as his widow was visited, until tbe close of her life, by distinguished persons from foreign countnes, as well as her own. 'An amusing incident is told of John Hancock and Samuel Adams. As the Governor, Hancock, was one day driving out with his wife, he met Samuel Adams walking with tha sheriff beside hirn. Hancock askod: "Why, what is the matter?" Adams replied: "I am going to jail, as I can not stisfy the demands of my creditors." The Governor setted the demands, and bade the sheriff leave his prisoner. Many a time was hi3 p ir,jo opened for Samuel Adams' benefit under similar circumstances, and many a time did he help the poor and needy. .The Boston Mrs. Hancock was acknowledged to possess rare beauty, a courtly manner, a high-toned spirit, fine powers of conversation, dressed with care, and very dignilknj,! j the was one of the Quincys. i i But notwithstanding the hypercriticisms ofthe Mawworms of the hour, the fact is growing clearer that American women are Becoming more interested in public affairs every day ; and it is pleasant to be reminded that the wives of the two chief candidates for President for 1880 are especially cultivated and sensible. The modern newspaper reporter has become a sort of Christopher Columbua, ever looking for new characters, as the world-seeking Genose sought for new worlds. Nothing escapes these ubiquitous inquirers. Presidential appirants are examined with as merciless a se verity ai it they were candidates for .rope, while all their sisters, and their cousins, and their aunts, and notably their wives, are sub jected to a similar invontoiy. It was not so in olden time save as to the men. Y asmngton, Adams, Jefferson, John Quincy Adams, Jackson, Lincoln - and Grant were .very thoroughly overhauled, privately and- publicly; but the ladies of the White House, with two or three exceptions, have, as a rule, passed the ordeal of public life tranquilly and easily.'-" - ' Having known ( most of the ladies, and many of their associates, who have figured in and flitted out of the White House since 1840, a brief reference to the long provision since Mrs, Martha Washington, in 1780, by way of fntroduCtibn to ' thj accomplished woman who will, I believe, succeed Mrs. Hayes on the 4th of March, 1881, Will be a pleasine exception to tbe . heavier . parts of this volume. Women in society are a later growth than women in political power, iust as kings and queens are older than the best oi our inventions and discoveries in science and art. And when we remember that even Shakespeare's nlava were for man v. vears enacted by bovs. we ma v. perhaps make some allowance for the accomplished woman,
who, in a iveent popular magazine, takes up
the cuderels against her sex, and. at least to her own satisfaction, proves that all the great things in our civilization have been produced by men, and that the bestand most distinguished women of the present day are simply the proofs and products of a superior masculine system. We can not look for such high culture and inbred greatness in the wives of our American Chief Magistrates as are found scattered through the royal houses of the Old World, and for an obvious reason. Our Presidents do not inherit their titles and their places. They are never trained for hish offices. In the average the Chief Magistrate is an accident: there is no' inci dent of a cradled ruler Mrs. Hancock, who in all probability will preside in the establishment ' of the next President of the United States, was Miss Russell, of St. Louis. She is a woman of fine physique and beauty of face.' She is several years younger than her husband, who is nearly nftv-seven. The pictures of her, taken some years ago, before the death of her only daughter, whose loss was a severe blow to her, are very pleasing. Neither sorrow nor time, however, have altered her much, and the Mrs. Hancock of to-day is charming. She is slightly above the medium height, and has a winsome way of her own. which nobodv who comes in contact with her tries to resist. And now I close these sketches of the ladies of the White House, the wives or daughters or relatives of the twenty-eight Presidents of the United States since 1789, those elected by the people to that high office and those filling the vacancies caused 4 by death. The followingto tribute Mrs. Hancock, the hostess at Governor's Island, New York, will show how she is estimated by one of her own sex. and how, in the event of the choice of her husband to the Presidency, she is qualified to walk in the footsteps of her predecessors: 'It has been my special privilege and good fortune to have known for many years Mrs. Hancock, the wife of our distinguished General, and I can not resist the influence that inspires present meditation to add mv tribute to a character combining such , rare excellence of heart and mind. Possessed of intelligence and . perception . of an unusal order, quick at repartee, fascinating in conversation, ef wondrous adaptabilty, companionable alike to youth and age, she can not fail to be a favorite with all. She is emi nently fitted to adorn the most exalted position to which she might be called. An accomplished musician, it was indeed a rare treat to hear her, but this pleasure within the last few years I have not been permitted to enjoy. Since the loss of her dearly loved and only daughter much of the sunshine which brightened her life has departed, leav ing upon her face, which has an incomparable charm for me (in my opinion is the surest indication of character) the impress of a great sorrow; and as 1 see an occasional thread of silver in her colden red hair I realize it is in truth the sorrowful heart that changes youth to age. "Transcendent above all else, with this accomplished and amiable lady, is the kindly generous nature with which she is richly endowed. Loyal and just, replete with every noble impulse, she is ever striving to amelio rate the condition of others less favored than herself, a heart responsive to every charita ble demand, with words of sympathy and cheer for earth's afllicted ones, her sympathy falls like dew upon their blighted hearts. A mantle of inheritance has fallen on her; the generous hospitality which characterized her dear father and mother, and made their home near St. Louis one long to be remembered, is her special gift. The recipients of her bounteous kindness, for they are a legion, wm renew with heartfelt pleasure the happy hour she has given, and the cordial welcome always extended to them. She is, in my re gard, the peer of her good husband, and the embodiment of the exquisite sentiment: 'A perfect woman nobly planned, To warn, to comfort, and command.' " As Mrs. Hancock and Mrs. Garfield study the twenty -eight lives of the ladies who , came in and passed out with the respective administrations of this Government, since Washington's first terra, in 1789, they will gather nothing to discourage them. . A sentimental young lady writes. Oh, the bon nett of my girlhood the kind I wore at BChOOl I realy called them pretty! I mnst have been a fool!

' Beyond -those troops of ordered arches there rises a vision out of the earth, and. all the great square seems to have opened from it in a kind of awe, that we may see it far away a multitude of pillars and white domes, clustered into a long, low pyramid of colored light; a' treasure-heap lit seems, partly of gold and partly of pal and mother-of-pearl, hallowed beneath it into five great vaulted porches, ceiled with fair mosaic, and beset with sculpture of alabaster, clear as amber and delicate as ivory, sculpture fantastic and involved, of palm, leaves and lilies', and grapes and pomegranates, and birds clinging ana fluttering among the branches, all twined together in an endless net-work of buds and plumes, and, in the midst of it, the solemn forms of angels, sceptered, and robed by the feet, and leaning to each other across the gates, , their .figures, indistinct among the gleaming of the golden ground through the leaves beside them, interrupted and dim like the morning light as it ; faded back among the branches of Eden, when first it3 gates were angel-guarded long ago, And round the walls of the porches there are set pillars of variegated stones, jasper and porphyry,' and deep greea ' serpentine spotted with flakes' of snow and marbles that half refuse and half vield to the sunshine, Cleopatra like, '"their bluest veins to kiss' :the shadow as it steals back from them, revealing line after line of azure undulation, as a receding tide leaves the waved 6and; : their capitals rich with interwoven tracery, rooted knots of herbage, and drifting leaves of acanthus and vine, and mystical signs, all beginr ning and ending in the : Cross; audabove them, in the broad archivolts, a continuous chain of language and of life--angels and the signs of heaven, and the labors of,, men,; each in its appointed season upon the earth; and above these, another range of glittering pinnacles mixed with' white arches edged with scarlet flowers, ( a confusion of delight, ' amid which the breasts of the ' Greek horses' are seen blazing in their breadth of golden strength, and the St Mark's Lion,1 lifted on a blue field covered with stars, until at last, as if in ecstasy, the crests of the arches break into a marble foam, and toss themselves jar into the blue sky in flashes and. wreaths of sculptured spray, as if the breakers on the Lido shore had been lrost-Douna Deiore tney fell, and the sea nymphs had inlaid them with coral and amethyst.
