AN ABSÜRI DOCTRINE ABOUT LOVE

ELLA WnEELlR. " Tis oar love'a noon of glory. Yoa mj with smiling face ; ot y th wondroua story For a grows commonplace. Then, dear lips, reach and kiss a And, fond arms, bold mo to ; For now when yoa will niiss mo, la the tint fur me to go. N7, nay, I gm not cruel Speak wot to chide or blame s But now, whe Jipt are fuel. Ami now, when kiss la flame, Before dreamt lose their splendor. Or ennui finds the brrt That I ao food and tender, Ii tlie time for us to part. 'Tie baiter to feel sorrow. And part with tear this morn. Than wait until to-morrow. And part wi.h bate and com. Tie bettor go grieving. With many a fond regret. Than to deter the leaving Till the sun of love has set.; 'Tis better to remember Our love year in its bl ora Thaa wait until November, Dull skied and full of gloom. Tie better to go freighted With our paaal.tn, full of grace. Than to wait till we are sated And oar lore grows commonplace. Then, dear lipi, reach aud kisa me, And, fond arms, clasp me eo; For now, whew you will miss me. Is the time for me to go. MAB. Alte Oalifornlan.l They won lured what she would be like the new cousin who was coming to Ked, wood. "I believe ähe U called Mab," said Papa Reed. '-I think she was named Mabel. She is about seventeen, and has been at school for the last it year 4. She has no home, now that her grandfather la dead, and must com te ui. More than that I can not tell you, girh. Whether she U tall or short dark or fair, pretty or ugly, I call not say I never saw her in my life." So Bell and Gerty wondered. AU their lives they had lived very quietly at Redwood, having no companions of their own age, educated by private teachers, and never having been five miles from the spot where they were firstborn. It was no wonder, therefore, that . they thought curiously of thia unknown cousin, born on the sea, who had gone abroad as a child, who home had been among the "White Mountains, who had spent so many years at Bchcx.l, and could remember no mother. "She must be very lonely," said geatle Gerty. 'she must know a great deal to have traveled about so much," said stately Bell. They were tall, graceful, soft-eyed girls, having much gweetnea of nature, and a singular, delicate beauty, inherited from their mother; and alter awhile they came to the conclusion that Mab, being a maternal cousin, looked like themselves. I hope she likes music," said Gerty, "and sings." 1 wonder if she embroiders, and can do fancy work?" r.dded Bell. I am told that she is very highly accomplished," said Mrs. Reed, thoughtfully, "but ao are you, my dears." Like most mothers, she hoped that the un known cousin would not prove a rival to her own charming girls. And yet she was prepared to love the orphan and be very kind to her. "It will be evening when they get here. I hope the open grate and the lights will make the rooms look pleasant and nomelike to James' daughter," said Mrs. Reed. Gerty practiced, and Bell embroidered Parma violets, until the clock struck 7. when they heard wheels upon the drive and rushed to the door. It was dark, but by the light of the carriage-lamps they saw Mr. Reed hand to the ground a petite, dainty figure, so small as to be child-like ; but there was the grace and confidence of a princess in the air of the girl as she gathered up her rich traveling dress and turned to the door. Mr. Reed came up the steps at her side. "This is Mab, my dears. Come right in to the fire. It is a chilly night." In a moment they found themselves all together within the luxurious parlor, and Mab heard the geatle tone3 of her aunt and cousins. They took her wraps, and she stood revealed among them, a delicato little creature, yet with a strange air of complete self-possession. M Thank you. I have not suffered from the weather. I am very comfortable," she said; yet there was a coldness, or something akin to it, in the silvery sweet voice, and Bell and Gerty instantly conceived the idea that she was a great deal older than themel8. " bhe was seventeen, she said, and was very glad to have left school, and thought Redwood would be very pleasant. Gradually, the soft solicitude which had filled Mrs. Reed's face gave way to a look of gravity and trouble. Mab was so utterly different from her own timid, confiding girls that she began to feel at a loss with her. And in le?s than half an hour, Bell and Gerty were conscious of a feeling of disappointment. At leneth came the hour of retiring. 1 will give you a bed-room adjoining your cousins', Mab," Mrs. Reed said, ,4so that you may not feel lonely; and if you need anything in the night, be sure to speak." For an instant she fancied a grateful look in the long-lashed blue eyes, but the cool, silvery voice wa3 unaltered, and thinking herself mistaken, she contented herself with a gentle good-night, and saw Mab go away with her cousins. ,4I declare I haven't kissed her! I wonder if she cares for one among us?" said Mrs Reed to her husband. "She is a very selfpossessed young lady, and and somehow seems to hold me at arm's-length." "She is quite pretty and well-bred. Youll like her, I've no doubt, when you get better acquainted." Up stairs, Gerty had said to Mab: ''Shall I help you undress? Perhaps you would like to have me, if you are very tired. I often help mamma and Bell." Mab declined, politely, but her eyes dwelt an instant on the lovely face of her cousin with a look of wonder. Something hard and glittering she placed on the dressingtable by the bed. Gerty turned pale. "A pistol!" she faltered, involuntarily. "Yes. Are you afraid? You need not be," replied Mab. "I have been forced to travel a great deal alone, and I find it is safer to carry one," she added, quickly unthreading her brown braids. "I would not touch one for the world! I don't think we ever had one in the house before," answered Gerty, She saw Mab lock the pistol in a drawer before she went to bed. The next morning she reported the incident to her mother. "What a strange girl!" exclaimed Mrs. Read. -She was forced to repeat the ejaculation man v times durin er the next three months. Mab did not care for embroidery. She sang and played magnificently. She also rode liked to take long, lonely walks over the hills. She was faultlessly polite and pleasant. and seemed to like her cousins; but there was, somehow; a shadow between her and them. Bell said. They did not get on well or talk together, and their tastes did not seem congenial even in music. ' ! Mab seemed sometimes to delight in minor airs, and even played dirges often, , until they would beg her tc desist. There was something passionate and forceful in her nature utterly unknown to her gentle dovelike cousins. Mrs. Reed felt this vaguely, though not quite understanding it, and wondered what ghe should do to win the orphan's heart. It was a singularly happy home, full of love and refinement. Mrs. Reed had the pleasure of seeing that, under her kind care, flab gained in health and flesh, and actually

seemed larger than on her arrival at Redwrvul wihil aha had Quite abandoned her

solitary walks and rides, and oftener sought their united society of her own free will. It was iust after Christmas, and Mab seemed strangely touched by the numerous frifu sh received, when Mr. Reed found it necegsarv to leave home for a few days. The coachman and his wife, who was the cook, had gone to a funeral, and only one domestic a timia uerman ein rumainea with the ladies. "I do not like to be left so," said Mrs. Reed, "because we always have money and valuables in the house." Mab' small, proud head was lifted quick ly from her book. "Do you really think there is any danger, Aunt Gertrude?" 'I suppose there is some," said Mrs. Reed, reluctantly. "One of our neighbors was robbed last fall. Our house is isolated by the erounds, and we are Known to be in good circumstances. Will you be kind enough to go around and see if the outside -aar 1 ea 4 a doors are locaea, aiad r uretcnen is so mis erable!" It was twilight as Mab made the round of the laree. rich house, beveral doors, which she found unfastened, she locked, and suddenly stopped iu the front hall, looked about ner wain a suspicious air. a neu sne came into the library, where her aunt was writing a letter. "Aunt Gertrude, has any one called at the house to-day who smokes cigcrs? ' "Ho." "I think I can smell cigar-smoke in the hall." "You must be mistaken, my dear. It ii probably the broiled meat which G retch jn nurned at suDDer. Mab smiled faintly as she sat down again to her book. Her senses were all very fine and keen; it was impossible that she should be mistaken. She left the library-room, and went care fully all over the house, coming back to her book, but not to read. Whem her cousins went up to their room, she went with them. She sat by the open fire for a few moments. then ouictlv remarked: "Gertv. I would iike to sleeD with Bell tonight, it seems lonesome in my room, now w that uncle has gone.' Gerty looked her surprise, but answered: 'You can just as well, can't she. Bell? I will go down and sleep with mamma. I meant to have proposed it to her, but forgdt." In a moment, Gerty, enveloped in a wrapper, naa run uown stairs, ja.au went into her own room, and came back with a maga I J J -i .!. 7 zine. "Don't you want to enjoy the fire a little while, Bell? Sit down here, and I will read you a story." Mab was a very beautiful reader, and Bell eagerly acquiesced. They were soon occupied with the book, and presently the clock had struck 11. and the entiro silence of the household told all were deep in slumber. "Do you like the story?" asked Mab. "Yes; and I think, I never heard read so beautifully, Mab," Bell replied. that you For she had been struck by an unusual clearness and steadiness in her cousin's voice; when Mab leaned forward and laid a written slip of paper in her lap, In silent surprise, Bell took it up It read in pencil: "There is a thief under the bed. Do not make any noise, but trust me." As Bell raised her eyes, blind with terror, she saw Mab draw her little, glittering pistol from her bosom, and walk toward the bed. She stopped before it. ' "Come out!' she called, in a clear, resolute voice. "Come out from your hidingplace, or I will shoot you in it!" ' One thrilling instant there was silence; then a stir under the bed betekened, without doubt, a presence there. In a moment, a brutish younj fellow crawled from under the bed, and stood, trembling, before the steadily-presented revolver. "Don't shoot me!" he whimpered. "I didn't mean to hurt nobody, an wanted money bad." "Take younelf down stairs without making the least noise," Mab responded, advancing upoa him with the revolver, and closely following the young man down the thickly carpeted stairs. She closed the front door upon linn, remarking, at the last : "Ever attempt this again, and you will not get off so easily!" Bell met, oa her return, Mab's blue eyes, glittering, her cheeks burning. "He has gone," she said; "and no one has been disturbed or alarmed," when the color suddenly faded from her face, and she sank into the easy-chair she had just left, white and helpless. Oh, Mab dear, dear Mab don't faint!" cried Bell, in a terrified whisper, clinging about her. But Door Mab. her delicate strength all spent, lay as if dead, and in spite of herself Sell felt forced to call ner motner. Bravely imitating Mab's self-control, she revealed nothing but the fact that Mab was in a faint: and Mrs. Reed, accustomed to sickness, devoted herself to Mab's restoration, without alarm. The latter soon recovered, and, folding the girls tenderly in their bed, Mrs. Reed gave few last directions and warnings, and . a a 1 .--.a stole dsvck, sausneo, 10 ner own warm voucu. BelL for the first time in her lire, stole caressing arms about her cousin, and Mab returned the embrace. Bell was filled with wonder at Mab's char acter, and Mab a strange sweetness stole over her as she rested in the gentle embrace. It was nearly daylight before the two slept. Mr. Reed came home early,and they were called, at last, to a late breakfast. "What do those pale cheeks mean?" he cried, in wonder. And then Bell could be no longer restrained. To the amazement of the rest of the family, the whole truth was told. Mr. Reed caught the small form of Mal in his arms, and, as if she had been his own girl, drew her down to histnee, and looked searehingly into her pale countenance. -You, child?'' he said. "How dared you?" "Uncle Godfrey, I knew there might be terrible work if I did not," answered Mab, earnestly. "But a thief is most always a coward, ain't he? Yet a brave robber is conquered by a revolver. I was ready to kill him on the spot rather than he should hurt one of you. Oh, uncle, Aunt Gertrude, girls you don't know what you are to me! I never was loved and cherished before. I can't remember my mother, and no one else has ever loved me. I seem to you small and young, but from a child my heart has grown old in breaking for affection 1 And I cared so much for it that I could not make light friendships, like other girls I have always been alone; and I have tned to do without love and be brave and useful in the world. Do you understand ? Why, I never in all my life have known anything like your thoughtfulness, your little attentions, your glad pride in each, other, your unselfishness. Aunt Gertrude, do you lemember the night you rubbed my feet in yeur warm hands, when I came frm riding? I went to bed and cried, yet I triv to keep riy6Slf from loving you. -' Uncle, d you remember the chamois jacket you brought me, lest I should take cold skating? No one ever thought of my health before, since 1 can remember. Do these seem little things to yoa? Oh, they have been so much tome! And now that I havo told you all, perhaps you will and do love me a little, for I love yoa I love you all dearly!" and the poor child broke down in passionate crying. They cathered about her. weeüinsr. too. C ' 9 A and bestowed upon her kisses and caresses enough e7en to satisfy her hungry heart. Her Aunt Gertrude must needs take her right in her lap, and when all were calmer, Mab begm to tell more about the strange story. "I knev I was not mistaken in smelling cigar-smcke: I never am deceived in odors. And the nort I thought of it the more sure

I was that something was wrong. I could smell it, too, in the chambers, and I became certain that there was an intruder concealed somewhere on the floor. I knew I must do

something; I have been used to emergencies, and had confidence in myself; but I seemed to have so little time. The evening flew away before I had decided what to do. But when I went up stairs with the girls, I began to understand, for I saw a man's feet under the bed. I got Gerty to go down, and kept Bull with me, because she was less nervous had more composure than Gerty. Bell, 1 did not know a word 1 was reading from that magazine. I was only remembering to read steadily, while I thought what it whs DC6t to do. 1 d d not want to trtgbten you, Aunt Gertrude." Her aunt kissed her niece thrice. "You are a strange girl, Mab; but thank Heaven you are what you are!" VERY OLD PEOPLE. Many of Them Showing Remarkable Pres ervation of Both Body and Mind. Jones County, Iowa, has its centenarian.

AX ACTRESS ROMANCE.

Tier Relations With a Famous English Moble Family. Philadelphia Tlmea, September S.j The appearance of Miss Ada Cavendish, the English actress, at the Arch Street Theater this evening, will lend new interest to 1 . li . i. : .. U V. . 1 ner rom&nuc uisiory, wuicu um never ueen published in this country before. Some forty years ao one of the most celebrated law cases ever tried in England came before the Lord Chancellor for trial, after being fought from Court to Court, lne issue in question was the legitimacy or illegitimacy of a certain member of the Cavendish family. If the Lord Chancellor, after examining the case, should decide that this man was legally born, he would, by virtue of Erior birth, be the head ot the family and eirto the vast estates that fell with the title of Duke of Devonshire. So great results hung on "My Lord's" opinion. But the case was never decided, the claimant was so far hampered by circumstantial evidence, rather than direct proofs of his rights, and the defense saw so clearly that their opponent could make it unpleasant for them, that both parties agreed to a compromise, the details of which are worth reciting as a curious illustration of the standard of morality in the English aristocracy of that day, which generally approved of the compact. It was agreed that the claimant should be acknowledged as legitimate and the head of the family, taking the title and possessions of the Duku of Devonshire for life; but he was expressly forbidden to marry ; and on his death tne title and property passed to the opposing party. Under such circumstances the Duke, being but human, naturally formed attachments which the law did not sanction. Most of these, however, were of short duration, but when he had been about nine years in pobsessiion of his title he met a Mips Cameron, of Eninborough, Scotland to whom he became strongly attached. This' lady was of gentle blood, of great personal beauty, and one of the most brilliantly-educated and ac complished women of the age. During several years' acquaintance she learned to return the affection of her titled lover and he, to do him justice, used all the means in his power to protect her good name. Being forbidden to marry by his legal settlement of the suit, he offered Miss Cameron what is known as a morganatic marriage in Eurot e. This marriage is con ducted in the following manner: The contractirg parties are united in wedlock by a regularly ordained clergyman, marriage certificate beinjr furnished as usual. 1 he wife in this case was known as Mrs. Caven dish, not as the Duchess of Devonshire. Her children were legal, bearing the family name. At the death of the father and mother, intestate, the children inherit his personal estate, the widow having her dower right of one-third, but the Devonshire estates and titles pa-s to the nearest of kin of theducnl line. This style of marriage wa lone since invented to give the kings, print ers and nobility generally of Europe a chance to follow the dictates of their hearts without shame, whose reasons of State policy forced them into loveless political marriages. Morganatic marriages are generally very happy, and are noi regarded in Europe, espec ially on the continent, as fastening any shame on the parties participating tnerein; neither do they entail any loss of social position. Miss Cameron accepted the Duke's offer and was morganatically married to him. They lived together in perfect happiness for eleven years, being parted only by the death of Mrs. Cavendish. The Duke survived her about eleven years, but he was a changed man from the day of her death. Formerly genial and hearty, a lover of society, the turf, etc., he became crabbed, nervous and silent. He shut himself up at Brighton and very seldom saw anyone to his dying day, in 1870. One child (a girlj was born of this marriage and was called Ada Cavendish. On her the parents lavished their tenderest love and devotion. She was carefully reared, like any young scoin of the British aristocrary, and her beauty, sweet, joyous disposition and brilliant talents combined to make her their idol and the center of one of the happiest homes of England. A few years after the mother died the daughter, following her natural bent, placed herselt under the tuition of Mrs. Charles Pelby ot the New Royal Theater, London, at which theater she soon made her debut as an actress. From that time until the day of his death the appearance of his daughter in a new role was the only thing which could tempt the old Duke from his seaside retirement. She was always a faithful and devoted daughter, and at her father's death came into possession of his entire personal estate, amounting to 10,000 ($50,000) and some magnificent jewels. Miss Cavendish has steadily risen in the theatrical world, her success as ''Mercy Merrick," " in "The New Magdalen," rendering her famous in England and America. SOCIETY- DIRECTORY. Masonic.
