Illustrated christian Weekly. IUVIMJ 3IUSIC LESSONS. The sumraer vacation! "What a- world of changes it brings to the innocent youn school girl what a revolution of thought, fact and fancy! In all our future, will ever the week come to us garlanded with ruses and radiant with the fani'.s of the heart, as thoy came to us in the v'.iT6 of our summer vacations? That waa what EUie Palo was thinking, H ehe sat beside the river, dipping her water-lily bud in th'j cool tiL, and watching the birds' nt?ts in the rushes. .She va homele8 and mothorlesg, and all tl.t? other girl wert lull of happy anticipation as they crowded on the one green so t of shadow under thy giant elm. tree. And yet, beneath it all, there was a throb of exultation in her beult. 'I am to have a season at Saratoga," said Cynthia Vail, the beauty of the school. "Mamma says I aru young, but then very young girls are all the fashion now." ;I am to co to the Adirondacks with papa, to take sketches, and strengthen ray Jungs," said May Allnon, proudly. 'I am to have music lessons from Signor Rallentando!'' triumphantly proclaimed little Cell Burton. -Tell us, Eläie dear, what are you going to do?'' "Exactly the opposite from you, Bell," said Elsie, laughing, while the dimples came into her chin and the caruiiiw color into her cheek. "I shall spend my vacation in giving music lessons, so tht I can test my own capacity and earn a little; money for the future." Bell Barton looked on with wide open eves of surprise. " 'Oh, Eloie!" cried ehe. "do you believe you can!" 'I shall try," ?aid Elsie, bravely. 4,I can't possibly fancy a music teacher without !alse hair and spectacles," said Bell. 'Madame Duchesne is very kind," tail Miss Dale. ' She has got me this situation, because she knew that 1 warted remunerative empl yment during the vacation. S 'Uielady wrote t her from the Shawangunta Mountains one of those castellated mansions on the heights, you know, that one dreiüs about that she wanted her to come out and give a quarter's lessons in her family. And Madame Duchesne could not leave town, so she wrote to propose mo for a substitute1 Are you to have many pupils?" inquired Bell, with interest. 'Only one." " "'A girl or a bov?" "I don't know," said Elsie. "I think I would rather have a gir!, if I am to choose. But Madame Dacheine says that the boys are the more often intelligent and appreciative learners." The next day cam, with the flower-hung halls, its band "of music, and blue ribboned - . tj r t J diplomas, and sweet bustle oi uepariare ana j when the gray shadows of evening fell, .LIsie Dale was t n her way to Mount S-rel, in the "Shawangunta Mountains. JShe had never been out of the city before, except during the year ehe had been at boarding-school, at the expense of the eccentric old aunt, who had lately bethought herself to die, leaving all her property to a sectarian "Home for Old Ladies," and the sublime crests ot the everlasting hills were as new as they .were delightful to her. Glens, cascades, wild gorges, and desolate ravines, clothed with the black-grown growth of pines and cedar?, succeeded cne another in bewildering array and the mountain stage was actually at the door of Mount Sorel before EUie realized that she was more tbnn halfway on her journey. It was a fine old mansion, with a central tower of blue stone and two long, low wings, situated upon a level plateau on the hill-side, with a wall of almost perpendicular mountain at the rear, and a superb view extending to the south An old colored servant man, with wool as white as snow and a euit of genteel black, came to the door. 'Is Mrs. Sorel at home?" Miss Diie demanded, with what dignity she might command. 'Yes, Miss, do MUsis she's borne," briskly answered the sable servitor. "Tell her it is the music-teacher," said Elsie. And the old man showed her into a pretty little apartment, hung with antique chinU and sprinkled with treeä and butterflies in colors that would have driven a naturalist wild. A fire of some scented wood blazed on a low marble hear: h, and was far from disagreeable among the chill mountain height, August even though it was. Presently a stout lady, in black silk and fluttering cap-strings, cam? hurrying in. "G'Kxlness gracious me!" ejaculated the stout lady in b!ack; "there's some mistake.'" Elsie rose up and dropped an alarmed courtesy. There'a no mktake, ma'am, I think," said she. But you r.re a childT sail Mrs. Sorel. "1 am eighteen, ma'am," said Elsie. I wrote for Mme. Duchenne." 'Mme. Duchesne could not come,' said Elie, feeling her heart-throbs begin to accelerate. "I am her avorito pupil, and she was convinced that I could represent her. Didn't you get her letter?" I have received no letter," said Mra. Sorel, still viewing Elsie through her eyeglasses, as if she were somo sort of an unac countable rara am. Then ensue I another embarrassing silence, . .

'I will introduce you to your pupil!" And opening a door which slid gently tack under parliere of pink-and-blue

chintz, she led the way into a study lined with book?, where, by the soft light of a shaded lamp, sat a dignified gentleman of thirty, busy over a heap of manuscript. "My son, the rector of the parish," said the. "Rudolph, allow me to introduce you to Miss Dale, who has come from New York to give you music lessons." Tne dignified gentleman roe and bowed. Kisio felt as if she could slide, invisible, through f. crack in thi floor. Kadolph has had every musical advantage at Tragucand Vienna,"saidMrs.Sorel; but Madame Duchesne has a reputation f ir cla.-.-ieal sacred music, and my eon thought it might bo well to refresh his memory with a courseof lessons in Haydn and Mo-z-irt bfor commencing t instruct hi choirboTS himself" KUie colored like a rose. "I lam very sorry,'' ' said 6he; "and so will .Ma Jamo D ich sue le. She thought and I thought too that the pupil was a child. I bwiove I atn pretty well grounded in mv musical education, but, of course, I couldn't undertake to teach a gentleman like Mr. Sortl. Perhaps I had better return to New York by the morning stage." Here Elfciif, quite forgetful of her dignity, burst into tears. 'Stop a minute!" SHid Mr. Sorel, gently. 'W'hv thould you not r. main at Mount

I Elsie said feebly. .1- .1- At . 1 At I iuu can uu a greai ueai uiore man mat, I said Mr. Sorel, kindly. 'And now. mother, I I am sure our pule little visitor needs a cup j of tea." j Hospitable Mrs. Sorel made haste to con duct her to the breakfast-room, whtre fragrant tea, broiled chicken, and biscuits a light as a putf of snow, were spread appetizingly on a little round table, glittering with old silver, and lighted with wax candles in antique bronze sconces. "That was an excellent thought about the choir boys," said Mrs. Sorel, as Ehe poured the thick yellow crean into Elsie's cup "Now, wasn't it, my dear?" ' If if you are quite sure that it wasn't merely to make me feel easy about spying here?" faltered Elsie. Mrs. S.rel emiled wisely. ''Nothing would have induced him to say what he did not think," said she. ''Rudolph is truth itself." So Elsie stayed at Mount Sorel. going down day by day to the little chapel among the wild mountain ledges, with its picturesque gables and windows and stained glass, to teach the choir boys the difference between sharps and flats, 'sol fa's" and ''re me's." And then, when the lesson was over, she wandered into the ravines," gathered rare ferns and copied slender-stemmed wild flowers in water colors, and grew as rosy as a milkmaid. Until September came, with the early frosts that turned the ferns to gold, and hung pennons of scarlet and russet among the maple trees in the glen; and then, one day, Rudolph Sorel found Miss Dale sitting gravely on the moss-covered rock beside the mountain spring, with an unwonted shadow on her face. "What are you thinking of ?'J he asked, with a smile. I am thinking what I shall do this fall," said she. ''Whether to advertise in the city papers'for music scholars, or to open a little day school in some unpretentious quarter of the town." Why do you go away from here at all?" he asked, gravely. 'Because I have my living to earn." "But why can't you earn it here?" said he. 'Because there is nothing to do," she replied. Are you quite certain of that?" he asked, gently "There is a great deal to do, Elsie Dale. I want you to stay at Mount Sorel to stay for my sake. I want you to be my wife, Elsie!" "Oh," cried Elsie, clasping her hands, if only I were worthy ofthat." But you are worthy," he said. 'Sweetheart, my life would be a vain void without you, now that I have learned to know and love you." Sj when Madamo Duchesne wrote to Elsie Dale that she had found a situation for her, Elsie Dale wrote back to Madame Duchesne that she had found one for herself; and that it had nothing to do with music lessons either. LOVE AND POLITICS. flow tb Latter Kfferted an Unexpected Change of Partners. Beaver Fall (PVdu.) Tribune. Not far from Laekawanrla, lenn., is the home of two young ladies sisters, aged respectively eighteen and twenty years. They were each receiving the addresses of lovers, who were brothers, and both couples were engaged to be married. It was their intention to celebrate a double wedding about the holidays, but now matters have changed. A few days ago the four were sitting together in the parlor at the girls' home when the elder lady expressed a deeire to attend a political meeting being held in a near-by village. She asked her lover to accompany her, but he refused point blank giving as a reason that be was not a Demo, erat. The young lady insisted, but still hrcfuscd. Finally he turned to his brother who, it seems, was a Democrat, and asked him to accompany her. To the surprise, of all he at once consented, and they went to the meeting. The two who remained at home were quite indignant, the one at the conduct of her lover, the other at the way his Bweetheart had acted. The more they discussed it the angrier they became. They discovered that they the cnes at homo were both Republicans, while the two who had gone were of Democratic proclivities. They talked on, discovering little similarities of tastes and habits, and finally reEolved each to break with the old love, and form a new alliance. No sooner resolved than the compact was ratified with a kiss, when by chance the others entered. Tho gentleman told his brother at once what they decided X) do. To his great surprise no sorrow was shown, no anger manifested, and his wonder was increased when he was informed that the other couple, while on their way home, had resolved to do just the same thing. I)res of Infants. Dr. Mercv B. Jackson says: 'The special evil of which I speak is the long skirts, dresses and cloaks which are now the fash ion for babies. 1 feel the deepest commiser ation fr a delicate child that has hung upon its tender body a flannel skirt & yard long, and over that a cotton skirt equally long, ani over that a dress to cover both, olten weighted with heavy embroidery, and, if the child is earned out, a double cloak longer than all, so that tho skirts reach nearly to the floor as the infant is borne on the nurao's arm. lho longer the clothes the more aristocratic the baby, would seem to be the idea of the mother! Think of all this weight attached around the waist of the child, and hanging over the little feet, pressing down the toes and even forcing the feet out of their natural position! How mach of deformity and suffering this fashion produces none can tell; but that it is a great discomfort to tho baby every thinking mother must perceive. 'fligh necks and long sleeves are now fashionable for babies; but how soon they may be laid aside for low necks and short sleeves can not be foreseen. That will depend on the enlightenment of women. To expose the delicate chest and arms of a ' ymwg child in our cold, changeable climate, is often to bring on pneumonia, and greatly to lessen the chances of life. And, should life be spared, there will be sleepless nights and anxious days for the mother, as well as great suffering for the child." If there is anything that keeps the mind open to angel-vuits and repels the ministry of sin, it is human love.

CBUSOE'S IMITATORS.

Anecdote of Shipwrecked Men. ifLamlnr'a Journal. I The delights of solitude have been feridlv extolled bv writers who took good caro to keep themselves within hail of the busy haunts of men; but its fancied charms j have soon palled upon unioriamne tun demned to a silent lite, either by tneir own I whim, the tyranny of others, or circumstances over which nobody had any con trol. Three weeks' experience of Urusoeing sufficed to bring an unwilling solitHrian to death's door, but he was a mere hd, wanting three years to be out of his teens, when, getting separated from his messmate?, while seeking food and water on one of the Gallipagos Islands he lost himself in the forest. Alter passing an uncomfortable tight ther, daylight saw Lord roving in quest ot what he'might devour, and finding nothing save a big snake unavailable for staying his ap, petite; and when night came around again, he was still wandering in a maze of tree?, weary with walking, and faint for lack of food; fesring to sleep on the ground lest he should intrude upon the privacy of some deadly serpent. This difficulty he surmounted by climbing a tall tree, and roosting in its branches, unaware that h had a feilow-lodzer in a bi owl, until on leaving his airy chamber in the morning, he knocked the bird down, and turned the accident to account by breakfasting upon the owl, without any further preparation than stripping it of its feathers. That night J.ord was out of the wood, but was uot much better off, for, sleeping at the foot of a nifun'ain, he was drenched with rain, and when morning broke was in anything but condition for climbing. Ulimb the mountain, however, he did, from the summit, beholding the bay in which his whaler had been, but was not. He saw a brig there, but she was making her way out. Madly he dashed down the mountain side to gain the beach all too late, and become oblivious of his disappointment by going off in a dead faint. AVhen he recovered his senses hunger got the better of despair, its pangs being none the less bitter from the knowledge that there was abundance of food in the waters washing his prison, and that he had neither hook to bait nor bait to hook, and must, perforce, live as best he might upon berries and seal flesh. fck the dismal days dragged on, the only event breaking their monotonous miserv being Lord's nearly coming to grief altogether in grappling with a great seal, rolling into the sea with it, aud scramblincr out alone as quickly as his weakness allowed. After this bout hecoutnved to crawl up the mountains again, and to hia joy deecried a large ship making tor the island. The 6ight gave him new strength and he managed to get down to the beach just as she entered the harbor. Soon a boat was lowered, and he knew no more, until his eyes opened upon a little crowd of friendly faces. He cried out for water, and drank till he swooned a train. when kindly arms carried him to the boat, and he was soon safe in the care of the famous explorer of the seas, Captain CooV, lord did not find the Uall pagos Islands so much to ms mind as did an Irishman. who let his ship depait without him, and set up his rest on one of these volcanic islets, dwelling there for seven years in a hovel of üiä iwn building, living upon tortoises, seals and fish, washed down v.kh rum obtained from ships in exchange for the pota toes and pumpkins he busied himself in raising. In 1818, an American sailor was taken off a desolate rock in the South Seas bv a boat's crew belonging to H. M. S. Queen Charlotte, whose attention had been drawn to the ppot by the smoke of a seaweed fire. He had, three years before, been left there with three companions, all of whom had quickly succumbed, while ho lived on, sus taining life by feeding upon the flesh of birds and driukingjtheir blood. lhe find of the Queen Charlottes men was not so surprising as that of the Flemish seaman, rickm&n, when, in IblO, his ship grounded near a small island-rock between Scotland and Ireland. Some of his men, going in search of eggs, camo upon a black hairy creature, who by signs entreated them to come to close acquaintance; and finding the strange object to be really a man, they took him on board with them to tell the skipper his story. It was a melancholy one. He and two others, occur ants of the passagoboat between England and Ireland, had been captured and afterward cast off by a French privateer. Having nothirg eatable save a little sugar with them, oae of the three soon died of starvation, the others lived to be driven on the island, where they built a hut out of what was left of the boat, and for six weeks lived upon sea-mews, sea-dogs, eggs, and water. Then the partners in misfortune parted company, one of them disappearing, leaving his friend in utter ignorance of hia fate; he could only nurmise that he had fallen into the sea while searching for eggs. Months passed, and the poor fellow lost all hope of deliverance. "NV" inter camo, and found him clothesless. Compelled to keep within the hut for days together, he only kept starvation at bay by catching seamews, as hungry as himself, by batted eticks thrust through the openings of the hovel's walls. So ho kept himself alive until the accidental advent of the London-bound Flemish timber ship released him from his dreary durance. signification of the Most I'opular ilven Namen ia France. Le Fi?aro.l One of my friends, who is a great scholar, desires to make no profit by his researches, and has taught me the signification of nearly all French baptismal names. I think this will bo interesting, for it is a far more serious labor to discover the origin of names than it appears to be; it requires a profound knowledge of the ancient tonguea. Among baptismal names there are some derived from the Semitic tongues; others from the Greek, Latin, Sclavic, and Scandinavian, and the most modern from the Gothic tonguo. The most glorious names are certainly those of the archangels and angels: Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, who were honored in Phoenicia ae minor gods emanation of the supreme divinity. Michael ia the supreme force, the strength of God; Raphael, strength and virtue; Gabriel, the creative force. It is therefore an error to bestow the name Gabrielle upon a woman. It is a name es sentially masculine in its origin. The proudest of terrestrial names is George, from the Greek Georgias, dominator of the earth; he who rules the world. After Georges among the Latin races rank the following names: Victor, conqueror; Leon, lion; Maximilian, the greatest; Theophtle, the friend of God; Thetnlore, the gift of God; Theocald, from .the Scandinavian, sign 10 es at one God and love. Andre, from the Greek, signifies a man; and Shanes (Karl) irom the old Gothic, is tho youth, the boy. Jacques, of Hebrew origin,is derived from Yacoub (Jacob), and signifies the seducer, he who takes the place of another. Be on your guard against Jacques. Alexander is an old Greek name, of which the signification is unknown. Phillip is a sportsman. His name signifies a lover of horses. Henry is a wealthy landowner. Heinrich, a Gothic name, means: Rich in sacred woods. Among Gothic names we must rank: Al bert, noble race; Raymond pure of mouth: Edmond, noble mouth; Edward, noble guard; William, he who wishes for hemlet; Bernard, heart of a bear: Louis, Klodawi?, an illustrious name, which to many of our kin cs have borne, derived from Frankish, and signines: lie wno Knows men; t rancois, t ran cisque, Francis, all mean, the Frank Maurice signifies the son of the Moor; and Frederic in Gothic has the same meaning as tl-t I TT-V T L ooiouiuu in xieurew; iucq. in peace. T.l 5 1 -w. F . juies ana uaesar are voiscian names

whose significations remain unknown-

Mj-vrji -uuji vjuu leans. Among the names of women, Marie (Miriam) signifies full of grace,' JeTnn" Anna, Jeannine (all variation? of the same name) mean God's favorite. Nonie.also from tho Hebrew, signifies Tich in graces Sophie is the Greek name for wisdom 31 arguerite means the precious pearl, Lucie' from the Latin, signifies the light. Therese' ehe who knows how to tamo wild beasts ' Alice takes her name from a charminflower which grows on the heights of the Alps, the edelweiss, which itself means 'noble whitenes." There are many pretty Parisians who are cilled Alice, and who deserve to have a flower for their gi-dmother. Fashion governs race just as it governs everything else. Formerly, under her monarchy, a name w as transmitted from father to son ; and it wa3 rare, indeed, that an exception was made from tho time-hallowed custom. Certain families had two favorite names such as Louis and Charles for the House of France. The Orleans heirs were all called rhillippe; and the heirs of Montmorency Mathieu. The Counts of Toulouse called themselves Raymond;- the Countä of Foix, Gaston. The ncirs oi oauies were oiten named Uelyon. The Ronans vrero - christened Louis; the heirs of La Tour d'Aubergue, Henri; of Albert de Luynes, Honore; the Richelieu? were called Armand, from the time of the great Cardinal. Under the Republic there was a revival of avac&aa ilbUlVO haluvo vi nuners'goddesseses, and plants were also much in vogue among women. We have cearlv all of us met some of the respectable ladies, born at the commence ment ot tho century, who bore, not without a sigh, names which their white hair seemed to mock Flore, Egle, Hebe, Euphrcsyn, Aurore. Cypria. Artemise and even Trrs ichors. Solomon and the Blacksmith. fBUrksmith and Wheflrigbt.J The story goes that, during the building of Solomon's Temple, that wise ruler decided to treat the artisans employed on his famous edifice to a banquet. While the men were enjoying the cood things hia bounty had provided, King Solomon moved about from table to table, endeavoring to become better acquainted with his workmen. To ono he said: "My fri'-iid, what if your trade? ' "A carpenter." "And who makes your tools?" "The blacksmith," replied the carpenter. To am ther Solomon said: 'What is your trade?" and the reply was: "A mason." "And who makes your tools?" "The blacksmith," replied the mason. - A third s'ated that he was a stone-cutter. and that the blacksmith also made his tools. The fourth man that King Solomon ad dressed was tho blacksmith himself. He WJtS a nowerftil mn with bar? arms nn which the muscles stood out in bold relief, seeminglv ulmojtas hard as the metal he worked. "And what is yo'ir trade, my good man?" said thf King. ' Blacksmith,'" laconicallv replied the man of the anvil and sledge. "And who makes your tools?" Make 'em myself," said the blacksmith. Whereupon King Solomon immediatelv proclaimed him the king of mechanics, because he could not only make his own tools, but all other artisans were forced to go to him to have their tools made. Gathered Fragments. Dare to be true. A man's life is an appendix to his heart. Knowledge and timber should not be much used until they are seasoned. Let not the emphasis of hospitality be in bed and board; but let truth, and love, and honor and courtesy flow in all thy deeds. The past lives but in words; a thajsand ages were blank if books had not cooked their ghosts, and kept their uncmbodied shades to warn us from fleshless lips. In a natural state tears and laughter go hand in hand, for they are twin-born. L'.ke two children sleeping in one cradle, when one wakes and stirs, the other wakes also. Then is no dm in the world to hold a rogue. Commit a crime, and the earth is made of glass. Commit a crime, and it seems as if a coat of snow fell on the ground, such as reveals in the woods the tracks of every partridge and fox and squirrel and mole. What a cunning silversmith is frost! The rarest workmanship of Delhi and Genoa copies him but clumsily, a? if the fingers of all other artists wera thumbs. Fern-work, lace-work and filagree in endless variety, and under it all the water tinkles like n dis tant guitar, or drums like a tambourine, or gurgles like the tokay of ii anchorite's dream. Lowell.
