TUE LOOM OF LIFE.

All day, all night I can hear the jar Of the loom of life, and near and fur It thrill with its deep and niullled sound. As tireless the wheels go always round. Busily, ceaselessly, goes the loom, lu the lishtof day and the midnight's gloom, And the wheels are turning early and late, . And the woof is wound in the warp of fate. Click, click there's the thread of love woven In; Click, click 1 another of wrong and in; t. . . What a checkered thing this life will be When we see it unrwlled in eternity! When shall this wonderful web be done? In a thou.sand years, perhaps, ox one;Or to-morrow! Who knoweth? Not thon or I ; But the wheels turn on and the shuttles tly. Ah. sad-eyed weavers, the years are slow, But each one is nearer the end, I know; And soou the last thread shall be woven in Got grant K be love instead of sin. Are we spinners of good in this life-web say? Do we furnish the weaver a thread each day? It were better, O my friends, to ni4n A beautiful thread than a thread of sin. ' AX OLD-FASHIONED GIRL. BY MISS L. BATES. Still a bachelor, Claud? I'm ashamed of you, ana, I declare, half regretful that I did not capture you myself." S spoke pretty little Mrs. Sheldon as she sat one afternoon on iho piazza of the Ocean House, looking up smilingly into the face of the handsome man who bent over with such rare, debonair grace. ' " He laughed aloud at her mock-petulant speech. 'You should not blame mo then," - he' retorted, -ior what you must hold yourself accountable. You see, ever since Dick cut me out with you, I have been wandering around dutvnäolate, trying to flnu a second edition to Yourself." 'No, no'l That won't do. All the admiration wad on my side. Still I must confess that dear old Dick answers my purpose very well so well that only one thing is wanting to insure my happiness, and that is to have you take possession next winter of a charming nouie next ours in town, and let me claim your wife as my dearest friend As you have been to me all these long years, Ella, the dearest woman friend I ever had; but Dick ha3 no cause for jealousy, for all that. Shall I, then, tell you why I have never married, though my thirty-fifth birthday is looming up startlingly near? I am in a confidential mood this'afternoon, and you shall hear. , It is not because I do sot want tomairy. Sometimes the picture of my own home and hearthstone shapes itself before me until life seems hardly worth the living without it; but it is an ideal picture my fancy paintA It is not a house but a home. It is not the rustle of silken trains through its halls. It is not tho sunshine of a w mnn's smile. It h nofthe threshold of society, but society U left upon its threshold. It boasts no richer, sweeter music than the happy voices and laughter of littla children which God may send to fill it! You know now why 1 have never married, although the world calls me a rich man, and I am free; but, Ella, girls nowadays are not fitted for such homes. They are society clK I want an old fashioned girl, and, as they are out of fashion unless I go regularly In search of one in some curiosity shop, whore she is labe1 led and laid away on a shelf I shan't find her; and even if I made the rash attempt, I shouldn't like to have had to order my wife like a bale of goods." ''You're all wrong, Claud," answered his friend. "Oirl'3 hearts nowadays are just as warm ana true as tney were a century ago; but "Oh, Ell " interrupted a fresh girlish voice, as a young lady stepped through one of the long dressing-room windows on to the piazza, a faint rose flush tinging her cheek as she saw too late that she had come upon a tete-a-tete. She was a beautiful girl, dressed in the very height and extreme of fashion, from the tip of the little boot to the crown of the flower-wreathed hat. My friend, Mr. Arnold, Maud. Miss Kinriand. Mr. Arnold." So this wa3 Claud Arnold, whom she had heard of all her life. She was not sorry for the interruption after all; still, stealing only a glance at the dark, handsome face, over which all women raved, and delivering the message which had brought her, she disappeared as she had come. 'Who is she?" queried the gentleman. Ralph Kingsland's daughter, and an heiress. I am chapercning her tor a few weeks as her mother is an invalid. Not at all the sort of a girl you are iu search of. So see to it that you do not trespass upon my manor in search of amusement." Notwithstanding which kindly warning, it was straight to Miss Kingsland's side tbat Claud wended his way, when about 9 o'clock that evening she entered the ballroom. He had watched her as she crossed the hall on Mr. Sheldon's arm, and was fr.in to acknowledge her the most beautiful girl whom Newport ever boasted. She was exquisitely dressed, too, in some sott, flimsy fabric of white, gracefully draped over snowy satin, her neck and arms bare, and void of ornament except two glistening jewels in the pink, shell-like ears. "Not at all the woman for a wife," he mentally soliloquized ; "but as a partner for a dance, enough to make one the envy ot all the fellows m tte room. ' May I have the pl asure of the next waltz, Miss Kingland?" he said, bowing low before her. Thanks," she answered, in low musical tones, "but I have not an empty space to night. Iam passionately fond of dancing, and my friends are kind enough to see that I have no lack of partners." "Of course, an entirely unselfish action on their part," wa3 hi3 reply, with just a suspieiou oi pique uia wouw. i Heretofore, with Claud Arnold, the desire was simply father to its attainment, and I now he must wait twenty-four hours ere he could clasp this girl's waist, and feel her I

hand in his as they floated through the was it, doctor?" "Well, I'll tell you, leavroom to some of Strauss' dreamv music. I incr out all names, fori expect the part v

"Well, then," he continued, "shall it be I to-morrow night, and will you put me down J twice?' I ' Y Ith pleasure," she said simply ' as her I partner approached to claim her. Somehow it was all ptale and unprofitable to Claud that night, and when he retired, rather earlier than his usual custom, the thoughts which mingled with the smoke from his fragrant Havana, as he sat by his window, listening to the ocean's roar, were, if anything a trifle more cynical than his usual wont nor did he Bleep as Foundly as usual. - ,4i need a walk," he said to himself next morning, and started off about 9 o'clock for a solitary stroll. In this, however, he was dooir ed to dis appointment, for, turning a sudden angle on the beach, he came face to face with Miss Kingland. w nat unexpectea gooa iortunei" ne ex claimed, doffing his hat. "I did not dream vou were snch an earlv riser.'' looking as he spoke, at the bright color the morning Dreeze had brought into her cheek, and the dark eyes so franklv uplifted to his own. "Frightfully unconventional, is it not? she queried with a little low, rippling laugh. "But one must be alone sometimes, so I am driven to do it in self-defense. 'Rather an unfeeling hint that my morning's trespass must not bo repeated," said he, ruefully ll Oh, no indeed 1 We would not be likely to meet again in any case. Besides the twach is public property." Again that uncomfortable sense of pique pervaded her listener's frame. Really it appeared a matter of most sincere indifference whether or not he appeared upon the scene of action. Kather a prettv costume you have, to

be donned solely for the admiration of the sea-gulls," he continued, looking down at th dainty dres5, so perfect in all its belongings, with the eye of a man who considered himself $ connoisseur in feminine apparel albeit inclined to use his taste for its condemnation. . 4,I dress for myself, Mr. Arnold. I am passionately fond of pretty things, and fortunately am able to gratify myself. I have often wondered how men, who are so severe upon women for their love of the beautiful, would like to have their wives appear in illfitting garments, or as slatterns. By-the-way, did yeu ever see a man who did not relurit straightway to the tailor a coat that had' in it a crooked seam or an ugly wrinkle?" "I can't say that I ever did," he replied, laughingly, while he suddenly remembered that, in all his imaginings, the old-fashioned girl who was his ideal, had never represented herself in old-:ashioned garments. The hop that evening Air. Arnold v.ted a success, though ho usually regarded thi:m as necessary bores. Müs Kingsland had made dancing an art. lie could have wished the music to last forever, as she floated through the bullrcom on his arm. She was like some beautiful fairy. . ' Of v course he 'decided mentally. Carry her into the waking realities of life, and you would destroy the charm. Still, there was a freshness, a piuuaHey, in her conversation, which not only attracted, but held him. To come into her presence was seeking a more bracing atmosphere, and ere many days had fled, Claud Arnold found himself counting the hours not spent with her as wasted hours. Yet, that there was any danger to hiinael for her, he never dreamed He had made for himself an idol to which she was in everv way the opposite. Fashion and luxuries" were to her necessities. The woman he married must have a mind above such frivolities. Meantime the ideal for the present was set aside, and the glittering, alluring reality enjoyed. Three weeks had passed since he had met Miss Kingsland, when standing one morning on the piazza, waiting for her to join him lor a promised drive, and idly scanning the morning papers, just delivered at the hotel, his eye fell on the startling announcement of the temporary, but is was feared permanent suspension of Kingsland & Co., .New. York's great bankers. These were troublous times, when the weak and strong tottered together. Their failure would C8use a loss to himselt of several thousands ; but to this Claud Arnold never iave but a passing memory. His whole thought was filled with the eirl

on whom the crushing blow must fall. 'How pale you look!" said a sweet voice behind him. "Are you not well? Shall we not go?" He turned toward the speaker. How lovely ghe looked lovely not only with nature's loveliness, but all the accessory of public taste added to make a perfect whole. Her dress seemed molded to the exquisite form; her glove to the tiny hand; herhat resting gracefully on the small, well-poised head. Kob this girl of all externals, and she would still be beautiful; but it would be like robbing the rose of its dark green leaves, which seem to belong to it by right. How would she bear poverty and failure She should not, if he could save her from them. In that moment he knew how false were his sophistries, and how unconsciously he had learned the lesson love only teaches. At first they were both silent on their drive; then she turned toward him with a sort of silent sympathy in her voice. Tell me what troubles you: ' she fiaia. "Only," he answered, "that I am awaking from a dream, and it is for you to decide whether my waking shall be of earth or heaven. Maude, I love you! The dearest wish I have would be to make you my wife. Darling, have I been too abrupt?'' A bright blush mantled her cheeks, as she raised her dark eyes to his. I will be frank with you, Mr. Arnold,' she answered. 'Had you spoken yesterday, your words would have given me only pleasurenow they bring a mingled pain; for I can not give the answer my heart prompts. I am no longer rich, Mr. Arnold, My father is threatened with failure. "While he is in trouble, 1 can not thins ot my nappiness. My place is near his side. I intend returning home to-night. 1 meant to have told you in any case, but I hated to spoil our drive by dragging in my troubles." In bitter amaze, Claud listened to her words. She had known of her father's threateied ruin, and yet had smiled so cheerilyand had found time to sympathize with any misfortune she iancied might come to him; and now she could so quietly lay aside all thought of self, in thinking of her father and his disaster. A great wave of tenderness swept over the man's nature, and with a respect almost holy for the girl whom he had judged once with so narrow a judgment. My love," he said, "I will wait lor you, will serve for you, as Jacob served for Rachel, but I will never give you up." And drawing her to him, he sealed tbe words with a lover's kiss upon the young lips, which made no resistance to his touch. lue suspension ot ivingsiand x uo. was but temporary after all The pretty house next to Mrs. Sheldon found tenants in the early winter, such as she had so ardently wished. But Claud declares, in spite of the fact that his wife's trosseau came direct from Paris, and is the envy of all feminine Gotham, tbat he realized his two ideals he has round a home, and he has married an old-fashioned girL She Fat her Foot In It. Leadville Chronicle. The other day the writer and one of tba best known medical piactitioncrs of Leadyuie were taigmg over oia episoaes in dusiness, when the man of pills and plasters said: ''I think, to tell the truth, 1 had tho most singular experience of my whole professional career the other day." ""What wffi be recognized anyhow. It was jus-this: The middle part of last week one of the best young ladies of Leadville she is as sweet as a peach too came to my office in the evening, and told me, inagreatdealofembarassmenL that she wanted me to help her out of I gome trouble. Well, from her manner, my worst suspicions were aroused, and I began to question her closeh'. And what the deuce do vou think? Well, the confounded little fool had had the name of a fellow whom I she used to be engaged to tattooed on the I calf of her leer. Now. she's iust about to get I O - married to quite a different party, and had sense enough to see that the marking would be likely to kick up a row in the family. She was awfully distressed, and ready to submit to almost anything, oven a surgical operation, to wipe out the damned spot.' I was puzzled at first, but after studying 0767 it for a little while I happened to remember that I had read somewhere in some old scientific magazine that tattooing may be removed by going over the design with a needle dipped in milk. It was a forlorn hope, but I thought I would try it, and, taking her little foot delicate position wasn't it. married man? I carefully went over the for a letters. ; It must have hurt, but she never whimpered, and when it was all over I told her to go home and come again id a couple of days. ' Well. sir. when she came I had the satisfaction of knowing that the letters I i a j.i- . . i. . i 1 1 vi... nau iaaea into an lnaisiinguisaauiu uiuo line.

WHAT DOES IT MATTER?

Ob! Wnat does it matter, the smiles or the tears, The heart that are broken, oh! swift tide of years; The lives t)at are wasted, the sonls that are lost, The hopes that we cherished, so bitterly crossed. The ships we bare freighted are foundered at sea, The storms overtake as iu life s Ualilee; The mooo hides her face, and the clouds overspread The heavens, whose stars from oar presence are tied. The snows of the winter have whitened our hair, Our bosoms are chill with sluggish despair. And the blood in our veins is hazy and slow. That rush'd like a torrent where swift rivers go. The leavss of the summer are scatter'd around. And the flowers we tended are dead on tbe ground; . The graves of our lov'd ones are thick on the hill, . The voice of the water is frosen and still. Oh, what does it matter, a breath more or less, Our tired heads at last their pillows will press; Where but dreams, empty dreams, come never again With vision, or waking, to fret heart or brain. Oh, what does it matter, the pang or the pride, The wounds that are wasting our life's crimsou tide; 'Tis only a moment; the summers are gone, And we are the leaves, by the winds borne along. Uncounted and fallen where others will grow, While millions of ages will come and will go. The future, unhreding the grave's solemn trust, With the feet of the years will trample our dust. The waters will sing when our ears hear them net, And the flowers will bloom when we are forgot. A lifetime is only a few troubled years, And what does it matter, its smiles or its tears? Detimtiouof Old Wordsand l'firaaeg. Civil, citizen, signifies belonging to or becoming a citizen; polite, to polish, signifies literally polished. Polite expresses more than civil. Civility is dictated by the desire of serving; politeness by that of pleasing. Civility is not artificial, will not deceive, and is a true expression of good will. Manners may le different in different countries, but true politeness is the same everywhere, and is marked by a cultivated and refined mind, and an agreeable expression of feelings; it will turn away wrath and give peace and cheerfulness. A man who is uncivil and impolite, is never sought for or desired, whatever may be his education or quality; but will be avoided and shunned; tor what company or society would feel graced or favored by that which was disagreeable in action and appearance. Dispatch, a foot, putting off or clearing away impediments. The famous De Witt, one of the greatest statesman of his age, was noted for the amount of business he could get through wth in so short a time. When asked by a friend how he was able to dispatch the multitude of affairs in which he was engaged replied, that his whole art consisted in doing one thing at once. If, said he, I had any necessary dispatches to make, I think of nothing else until those are finished. Somo men are so laggard in the transaction of business that it becomes an annoyance and burden. Men of such habits will, when hurried to finish their business, get confused and perplexed, and thereby commit errors that may be difficult to correct and may lead to much damage and a&. Whereas he who has a clea understanding of his affair?,and disposes of one thing at thr required time, and does not begin to do anything else until that which he was doing i entirely ended, his course i:? clear, and he will find his work easy, correct, and without trouble. Active implies a propensity to act; diligent, to choose or like, implies an attachment to an object and consequent attention to it; industrious, make or do, is an inclination or disposition to do and accomplish; assiduous, to sit to, that is, to sit close to a thing. The active man is never without employment; the diligent man is contented with the employment he has; the industrious man goes from one employment to another; the assiduous seeks to attain the ob ject of his employment. ret, t. darling, signifies sought after or desired. Manumit, a hand, and to dismiss, signifies to dismiss a slave with a slap on the band on setting him free. Conjuncture, to join together, that is the joining together of circumstances. Crisis, a judgment, is whatever decides or turns the scale. A con jecture is a combination of corresponding circumstances tending to the same end. A crisis is the time cr point when affairs are at their height, which immediate precedes a ehange. Grace, kind, because grace results from pure kindness, independent of the merit of the receiver. Favor, a honeycomb, is that which is granted voluntarily, and without hope or recompense independent of all obligations. By-laws signifies the lawä of byes or towns, which means laws in distinction from general laws. Gibberish is from Giber, an Arab, who sought for the philosopher's stone, and in so doing said foolish incantations which he supposed would aid him to get it. Bumper is a corruption of the Iloly Father or Pope, and was once the greatest and first toast at every feast, being considered that glasses used once were desecrated if used a a second time. Bankrupt, literally means a broken bench. It was the custom in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, for the Lombard merchants to expose their goods for sale in the market-places on benches, and any one of them who failed to do so was attacked by the rest of the merchants, who drove him from the market-place and broke his bench to pieces, which closed his business. Parsons, who are now looked upon in a religious light, were, before the eighteenth century, expressed in contempt or scorn. As is shown by the wager which was won by the Earl of Sandwich, . who bet that of the dozens of parsons who had met together that not one among them had brought his prayer-book or forgotten his corkscrew. Couple, to join or tie together, by custom is made to mean two things; braced, arm, signifies two things locked together, after the manner of folded arms. Pair, equal, signi fies two things which are equal to each other. Symmetry is measure that accords; proportion, every portion or part according with the other, or witn the whole, öalary, ea't, which in the reign of Emperor Agustus, comprised the provisions of the Roman military officers in addition to their pay. Kidnap, from the German kind, child,and nap, to steal, means to steal children. Dole cism is from Soli, a town in Cilicia, which corrupted the pure Greek. Sycophant, a fig shower, one who informed the public officers of Athens that a law against the ex porta lion of figs had been violated. Hence a tftnmon informer was implied. Parasite, besides and food, means one who eia at the table of another, a privilege waich is apt to be paid for by flattery. .Negotiate, literally means, 1 am not idle. Parlor, to speak, and therefore means the talking-room. Servant, from servus, to pre serve, because the victor preserved the captives alive instead of killing tbem. Applause signifies to clap the hands, or stamp the foot and is an expression ot pleasure ana ap proval to the person who acts, or the acting itsen. J. ne mperor Augustus a iew miuutes before his death asked his friends who stood around him if they tho'ight he had acted his part well? Upon the answering that he had, let me then, says he, go off the stage with your applause. A. man who could so live ana aie neeas no cnronicier, lor he still lives in example of good deeds. To such a person age has no desormity or alarm, and vice no dread or power, but he awaits his end with calmness and resign tion. No cries of an inlured or outraged people come upon him. To him death has - . no sting, and victory ana triumpn crown uns life. Funeral, a cord, because lighted cords or torches were carried before the bodies which were interred at night. Obsequies, to perform or execute, therefore signifies funer als that are attended and conducted with more than ordinary solemnity. Burial is the act of concealing or hiding : interment signifies the nuttiner in the ground. Con cert signifies a change of conformity with the views of another; proselyte is the act of coming over to tbe views of another, in vert includes every change of opinion; pro selyte refers only to changes from one re ligious belief to another. Disparity signifies unfitness of obiects to be by one another; inequality signifies hav

ing no regularity. Co ! nsatien, to pays is the paying what has become due; satisfaction, is tho thing that isatisfies or make, up in return; amond is to make good what has been bad; remunerate, an office, that is wh.t is given in return, for a service; recompose is the thing paid back as an equivalent; requittal is tho making one's self clear by a return. Deponent, is the cone laying down or open what ho has heard or seen; evidence is the one producing evidence or making evident; witness is one who knows or makes known. The deponent serves to give information; the evidence serves to acquit or condemn; the witness serves to conform or invalidate. Derive, a river, signifies todrain after the manner of water from its source.' Trace is to run, to go, that is to go by a line drawn out, to follow the line. Deduce is to bring from. We discover causes and sources by derivation; the course, progress, and commencrment of things by tracing; we discover the grounds and reason of things by deduction. Acute, a needle, signifies the quality of sharpness and pointedness peculiar to a needle; keen, to cut, signifies the quality of being able to cut; shrewd, to enchant, signifies inspired or endowed with much intuitive knowledge, and the adoption of it in adroit manner for purposes and results. An acute understanding is quick in discovering truth in the midst of falsehood, and piercing through it; a keen understanding cuts through a thing and exposes all parts to view; a shrewd understanding is quick at discovering new truths. The acute man detects errors; the keen man falsehoods; the shrewd man exposes follies. Arguments may be acute, reproaches keen, and replies shrewd.

Imminent, to remain, means resting or coming upon; impending, hanging in or upon, hurt, b?aten, or wounded; detriment, to wear away, that is the effects of being worn away; prejudice, judgment, signifies judgment beforehand, tbat is before examination. To criticise, to judge, to pass judgment, implies scrutiny and judgment, and requires clear and exact perception and conception f the foundation, operation, and reason, from whhh we judge; we must likewise, jninutely examine, weigh, expose, and point out, the different degrees and kind of beauties, excellencies, and faults. Fortitude from fortes, ßtrong, and tude, state of being, signifies a resolute endurance in suffering, and a coolness and courage in danger. When Kin Porsenna was before Rome ready to besiege it, Mucius, in Tuscan attire, and using the Tuscan language, entered the King's camp to kill him, but mistook another for him whom he stabbed to the heart. Mucius was taken in the act and brought before Porsenna for trial, when he thrust his right hand in the flame of fire in a pan which was brought to the King for him to sacrifice; whilst his hand was'burning he looked with defiant, steadfast, and undaunted countenance upon Porsenna, who was so moved by admiration and astonishment at the fortitude manifested, that from his seat he returned the sword to Mucius and dismissed him. Suspicion, the state of looking under, is the belief or imagination we have of something ill which destroys confidence and creates distrust. Publicola, who, with Brutus and Callatinus, was foremost in establishing liberty in Rome by the expulsion of Tarquinius, for his tyranny and rape of Lucretia, but when Publicola was openly accused and reproached by some of the people as assuming regal grandeur, in the magnifience of his house, and by his imperious manners, he at once took the means to remove these suspicions by collecting a num ber of workmen who in one night leveled his house to the ground, and then made his manners so natural, agreeable, and plain, thut those who had blamed him became loudest in his praise, and were the first to raise him a new house and give him un bounded confidence and trust.

A Cambridge mother sent her small boy into the country, and after a week of anx iety has received this letter: "I got here all right and I forgot to write before; it is a verv nice place to have fun.
