YANITY HARDWARE.

By ALAN MUIR. S7 rABT THE SECOND,,

Poor Maud, pale and crying, sat upon a chair. Beside her stood the doctor and her husband-, and, in the silence which followe 1 the old lady's allocution, the wall of the sick child was plainly heard. At the sound the mother started to her feet. "Augustus!1' she called out piteously, "1 must goJ Doctor, do say that I am to I The doctor looked at the husband, but did not Speak. "Augustus," his wife cried, "don't forbid me. Baby will die if she frets on in this way. It is cruel to keep me. It is my duty to run whatever risk there may be. Do let me go. iiistcfti! 1 cannot bear to hear her."

The husband did not speak. "Maudl" the old lady called out, wafting a vinegar gale across the scene as she removed her handkerchief, "don't fly in the lace of Providence." "Doctor," tho young mother pleaded, seeing her husband would not speak, "say something. Command me to go. The child'it life is in jour hands. It is your duty to apeak P'

Even in her angttish out came a flash of Maud's temper. How Vanity admired ber. "So far as the child's lifo is concerned," the doctor .answered gravely, "no doubt eho will have a better chance if you are with her." "There, Augustus you hear!" 7 7 "But, madam," the doctor went on, shaking his head, "Mr. .Neville is nervous about you. I cannot lay .his fears are unfounded." "Maud," ber husband said, drawing close to her, "I cannot permit it. We must get a nurse. Baby will .soon cry herself to sloop." "Oh, it is email" *he said "it is cruel I"

Ho one spoke. Jfctt the .child's wail came 4orth again. "Mammal inamm&l I want mamma!"

The poor motker, quite broken down, with nothing of her fiery temper left, caught her husband's hands *nd looked

CHAPTER VL A NOBLE DEED.

The gallery looked down upon the entrance IMJI, oat of which several doors opened and one or two short flights of steps ran up to different passages. At the top of one of these flights stood the redoubtable old lady in a most excited state. For some inexplicable reason she had gathered up her skirts, and the first idea her figure suggested was that of a stout elderly lady, of inflexible who was about to wade a river, two arose upon observation of the handkerchief which she held to her face, and which exhaled an odor of powerful aromatic vinegar, and scented the entire atmosphere. Idea throe was presented by her outstretched right arm, which gave her an imperial aspect, as of one about to deliver a word oi universal command. Idea four arose from the pallor of her cheeks, which signified abject terror struggling with a will powerful by nature, and now exasperated by the pro Toking turn affairs had taken so that not even fear could extinguish mighty wrath. "I always said so," the old lady called out. •This comes of your Sunday-school treats. But Maud never would listen to advice—not dnce she was four years old!"

imploringly

in his fac%and let her tears plead for her. And Vanity, gating down, pitied the mothfrom her heart, and felt a kind of affection •nd compassion which was quite new to her. "Maud," the old lady.called out, in her harsh voice, "I am aboakedl Did you not promise to love, honor and obey/ What is your word good tor it jrou break it in a crisis!" "How I hate that cid woman Vanity thought.

At this point tho soldier brother spoke: "I feel for you, Neville," he said to his brother-in-law "but I do think my sister is right. Her duty is with her child. Let her go, and leave the rest in tho hand* of God."

The sister darted a look of umpeakahle gratitude at her brother and now the doctor took courage. "On the whole, that iwems tho wisest thing," he mid. "We must take every pre* caution." "Mind," the old lady called out, don't Agree with either of you. Remember that hereafter."

She threw out the word "hereafter". in gloomy bass. "Now, Aur*tus," the wife cried, "no* JOB will let me gol"

Neville, feeling the tide running sharp! •gainst him. law that ho must speak decidedly. like m«ny easy-goin* people, he could, on occasion, assert himself irrenistiblv. "There most be an end of thit,* he said. "Doctor, let us have a nurse at once. Maud, you must not go near the child your life a too valuable to us aiL"

Pyrl.nps, bad Neville been quite straightforward, he would have said that he prised his wife's fine face too lightly to risk it, but poor MTV! knew his inflexible tones, and sank 'iu into her chair. "Quite right, Augustus," the old lady cried out "I give you the greatest credit. Maud, don*t be ujset hereafter you will f*4 thankful, my love."

Vanity had watched this scene with a remarkable look on her face and now the hurried down stairs and crossed the hall to the lady's side, "1 will nurse the baby," she said. *1 am not atraki!"

•'don't be frivolous. Your mind ought to turn to serious things just now, when, for anything we can tell, the complaint may come down stairs and take some of us intc eternity."

Tom Pembroke

was

utterly abashed. Moral

reproof always confounded him. At this juncture the maid-servant was seen flying into the sick child's room, where the sound of closing of shutters was heard. Thence she ran upstairs and disappeared. Then again she darted down to the doctor and whispered to him. After this she drew down every blind and closed every shutter of the windows, reducing the place to rfarknfwa- Then, without explaining these proceedings, she disappeared once more.

Hie whole party stall remained motionless, none daring to speak, and in the darkness and suspense it seemed that several minutes passed away.

At last, low, sweet, soft, in the most soothing lullaby note, they heard a voice singing "Now the day ia over,

Night is drawing nigh,

Shadows of the evening Steal across the sky."

"Why," whispered Neville to his brother, "that is Maud singing to the child. She rings that hymn to her night by night."

Then, in the semi darkness of the hall, the Iusband saw his wife, dressed in along loose Horning robe whjphMknew well, bearing

The husband saw his wife, dressed in a long, loose morning robe. the child in her arms and chanting las she slowly moved across the hilL The effect cf the song ont ie sick child soon apprsared. The little weary voice caught up a word or two here and there, and sung it in a drowsy, satisfied tone. "Maud," the husband whispered, in a low, reproachful voice, "I am grieved."

He felt a hand in his own. Maud had stolen up to him from behind. "Hu-ih," she said. "Can't you understand?"

Tho sweeping gown touched his feet, and the muffled head of his child was close to hh own as the mysterious figure glided by, stili cinffLOgj "Jesu, give the weary

Calm and sweet respose ». uWith thy tender blessing 'May mine eyelids close." "Why, Maud!'' whispered Neville Clasping his wife's hand, 'I could have sworn it was your very voice!" "Is it not wonderful!" she whispered back. "Baby believes she is in my arms, and she is quite happy."

In the darkness Neville felt his wife lean ing her on his shoulder, and pouring out the mingled sorrow and thankfulness oi her heart.

Meanwhile the dusky figure was seen slowly moving up the wide stairs toward th* room where the child was to be laid. Low, sweet the lullaby sounded: "Grant to little children, J,0

Visions bright of Thee, Guard the sailors tossing

ft On the deep blue sea." "But, Maud," the husband said, "when she leaves the child in the room, how much better shall we ber "Dear, dear!" exclaimed his wife, but in the lowest of whispers, "die is going tonurse baby through the illness. The room is dark, baby will never know till she is well agt ln!"

Vanity had reached the door of the sickroom They could now see her figure plainly, and she turned round as if to give the mother f'-'f**?

one last glimpse of her darling. •vi ^Through the long night wal—» May thine angels spread ^i

Their white wings above me, Watching round my bed." The song was over. The dark threshold was passed. And the brave actress was shut with her task and her danger.

She did not contradict me. but with a grave face read on.

CHAPTER VUL

MM HARDCASTIAE'8 OFFFLLOIM The housemaid understood her business. Without waiting for the word of command, she let in the li^ht once more, and the whole party saw each other standing motionless like the sleepers yet una wakened. The mysterious interlude of the chanting figuri with the dreamy pacing across tho dark ball had petrified all. Tlie majestic old female stood upon her flight of steps the husband held his wife's hand the doctor stood with me hand under his coat-tail and the soldier leaned against the high oak tabls, just as when Vanity stole across in the dark. "Maud," the husband said, breaking the silence, "what does ell this msanr "Surely you understand I" she exclaimed. •That brave woman!" "Is she going to nurse little Maud, tbenP' "She is. Such courage I never knew." "But, Mand." her husband said, "will you explain? Why did she put oa your gown?" "Really- Augustus, you are stupid! Don't you see! Little Maud thinks I am with her, and going to rtay with her. But such a clever girl! I really thought it was myself singing. She asked me, 'Have you any little thing you sing to the child?' So I sung her a verse of 'Now the day is over.' The verses, tho music, the very tone of my volte, she caught on the instant. And then she went in to baby—in the dark—and took her up, singing all the while and baby put her little head against her shoulder, and was quite soothed and still."

The mother's tears fell as she spoke, and the husband was moved himself. "What a brave act!" he said. "I should have thought a woman would as soon have walked into Nebuchadnezzar's furnace." "With that face, tool" the soldier remarked again. "That's where it is, you see. With that face "I wonder at you, Tom Pembroke," the old lady called out. "As if outward Appearance was everything." "I really beg your pardon," the soldier replied, abashed once mora "It is only my way of putting it, you know." "Tom is right." the husband said, speaking like the master of the house. "A poor girl, who has nothing in the world to look to except her face "And such a face!" the irrepressible soldier cried out unguardedly 1 here's the point of the thing." "Tom Pembroke. screamed out the old lady, "don't interrupt

I can't hear what

Augustus is trying to say." "It is simply tiiis, Mrs. Hardcastle," the master of the house continued, showing some some signs of severity "that for a poor and lovely giri—-for a lovely girl she is—to risk her beauty for the sake of a sick child is real heroism!"

This good-humored gentleman had away of saying things which cowed ill-natured people and tbe old lady made no rejoinder, but the soldier glanced rebelliously at his adversary. "I feel rebuked, Maud," the husband went on, secretly caressing the hand of his handsome wife. "Noteven for little Maudy's sake could I have risked your—" beauty, he was going to say. Prudently he paused, and altered the word—"risked your—life."

Maud responded to his caress for although the mother was displeased, the wife forgave him. "I shall never forget what the girl has done," Augustus said. "And if she were to catch the smallpox, and her face were spoilt, 1 should never forgive myself." "No more should II" the soldier called out. "Never!" "Really, Mr. Pembroke," the old lady said loftily, "will you be good enough not to be too absurd? Providence did not expect you to nurse the child." "I didn't say so," Tom Pembroke answered, really afraid of this grim reprover. "But, you see—well, you see, I stood by while it was done." "Tom is right," his brother-in-law said again. He was getting restive under the old lady's ill-nature. "He was willing that his sister should run the risk. Maud was willing. It was I who held back!" "Just sol" Tom Pembroke cried, greatly encouraged. 'That is what I meant to say. Goon, Augustus." "So I feel," Augustus continued gravely, "that I must take the whole responsibility of the young woman's future upon myself." "Not the whole of it, Augustus!" the soldier called out earnestly. I ought to help you. Share and share alike, you know. No, I don't exactly mean that but really, old fellow, I could not let it all come on you, you know."

Tom Pembroke said this with most perfect seriousness and peat energy. "Listen, Tom," his brother-in-law remarked- "if that girl were to pay the price of her bravery with her faoe, I don't see what-1 could do for her. It would be an awful result of so gallant a deed. If that happened "If that happened,9 Tom Pembroke cried Interrupting with great excitement, "if her fa?» wereaioiied-—J* "Just what I say," the other continued "if her face were spoiled "It would not be your business, Augustus As you say, yon could do nothing for her. In that case, sooner than she should die of a broken heart, I—1—would many her toyself." ^7:

During mis dialogue the old lady had looked from one face to another, waiting for an opportunity to strike. At this word from poor Tom Pembroke her countenance f/rew dark with moral thunder. "While we stand talking here," die called out, "that Complaint"—here she pointed to th* closed doors of the sick chamber—"may comedown those stairs"—next she pointed at tbe stairs, as if she were giving directions to the Complaint—'Autd take some of into eternity."

Not a thought about the little ride chQd opon whom Death seemed to have laid his hand not a thought about the brave young woman who had taken the poisoned frame to her own breast. A« long as the Complaint •tared up stain all was well bat as the idea of its descent came to her mind die retreated as precipitately as though the specter of disease eve visibly walking toward herself, and she flew into ber room and drat her door with a terrific crash.

ELECTION LAWS.

LEADING FEATURES OF THE STATUTES OF THE STATES.

Viva Toee Toting In Kentucky—Certlfleates of Registration—Poll Tax Koceipts—Forin and Size of Ballots—"Saving" tho Ballots.

[Chicago Times.]

The Million has tabulated the results of an original investigation into the election lawj of the different states, presenting the leading features of those laws in a form convenient for reference and comparison. In tbe performance of this service it has had tbe assistance of state officials and private citizens in every state but three, and the requisite data for those three have been obtained from their latest statutes. The aim has been so far as possible to give the present requirements of th9 laws, and it is believed that success has attended the effort in this direction.

Nine states have no registration laws. These are Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio. Oregon, Texas, and West Virginia. In all the states except Kentucky voting is by ballot There it is viva voce, the voter appearing at the polling place and announcing orally the persons or propositions in favor of which he wishes to express his preference. This was formerly quite a common method of voting but, though it still has many advocates throughout the country, Kentucky, it appears is the only one.

Tbe column giving the dates of the registration act shows that New Hampshire had such an act a- long ago as 1840. Nevada appears to come next,' with a law enacted in 1864, and Illinois next, with one enacted in 1865. Most of these laws in their present form have been enacted since 187a It does not follow, however, that none of the states had laws of this kind before tho dates given in the table, since, as above stated, the aim has been to give, not the origin, but the present state of the registration laws.

In eighteen of the states that have registration laws, registration is required in all voting precincts or towns. Those requiring registration only in towns or cities having a certain population or more, witii the number of inhabitants rendering registration necessary, are as follows: Iowa, 6,000: Kansas, 15,000 Maine, 1,000 Minnesota, 12,000 Missouri, 35,000 Nebraska, 35,000 New Jersey, 10,000 Tennessee, 10,000 Wisconsin, 1,500. All the others that have registration laws require registration throughout

In nineteen of the states having laws of this kind registration is indispensable. In two others, Alabama and North Carolina, it is practically so, but in Alabama one may register on election day, except in towns of over 5,000 inhabitants, and in Nurth Carolina if a voter becomes of age on election day he may vote without being registered. In Florida registration is practically indispensable, but there are exceptional cases. In Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Pennsylvania send Wisconsin votes may be sworn in in cases where the voter is not registered.

Certificates of registration are issued in four states—namely, Kansas, Rhode Islani, South Carolina, and Tennessee. In Alabama certificates are issued only in casps of registration on election day. In ana certificate4 are issued in the city of N«w Orldhns, but not elsewhere. It uoes not appear, however, that voters are called upon to exhibit certificates, except in 7 doubtful cases. The certificates are rattier for the benefit of the voters, who are thereby protected against the fraudulent erasure of their names from the lists by the election cheats and bulldozers. The' column showing what it costs voters to obtain certificates of registration is very far from being satisfactory. It shows nothing except that in Tennessee a certificate costs the voter nothing, and that in Rhode Island a man must own property assessed at (134 or more before he cau ob tain a certificate or cast a vote. In Dela ware, Massachusetts and Rhode Island a man must be able to exhibit a poll-tax receipt before he can claim the right to vote. The annual tax of the first named of these states is $1 to $1.50 in the seconJ, $3, and in the third, (1. It is something of a surprise to find that from ad the rest of the stater, the report is that toe payment of a polltax is not required as a prerequisite to vot ing.

In sixteen of the state3 there is no provision ol law prescribing the torm and size oi the ballot*. Tbe taoular exhibit shows that there are such provisions oi law in Alabama, Colorado, California, Indiana, Massachusetts, and Ohio, but does not show what these provisions are. In Florida and Louisiana the only prescription saem* to be that the baliots mut be printed on white paper. In North Carolina and Oregon tue paper must be white and without device. In Nevada nothing is said about the color of the paper, but tbe prescribed size ia 4 by 10 inches, in Illinois it is provided that there shall be a blank space below each name. This requirement seems to be distasteful, as it is often observed only in the most formal way. In Minnesota the ballots in cities must be on white paper, and of equal siss. In South Carolina the tickets must be white and without device, and 2)4 by 5 inches in dimensions. In Vermont the law prescribes only the form of tbe words in which the ballot shall be printed. In Rhode Island toe ballot* are furnished by the secretary of state in -elf-sealing envelopes of uniform stzs. Of all the modes, this is the best thu*» far described for tbe prevention of ticket counterfeiting and such frauds as were attempted in Chicago iast falL And yet it is confined to this one little stats.

The tabular statement shows that in eighteen states the ballots are "saveJ," but it does not show how long they are saved. In California, Maryland. Missouri, Nebraska, Oregon, Texas and West Virginia the ballots are saved one year. In Connecticut, Nevada, and New Jer-ey they are saved six months. In Alabama tbey are kept sixty days. In Michigan and Minnesota they are saved until the next election. In Vermont tbey are saved, the names are cut apart and in this shape they are sent sealea to toe canvaseing board. In Maine, New York, and Wisconsin they are destroyed but in Wisconsin all ballots that may be defective are kept as evidence.

Officers of election are cho-en in all sorts of way*, perhaps the mo common being by county boards of supervisors, or commissioner-. In this mode they are appointed in California, Florida, Illinoi*, Indians, Maryland, North Carolina, and Wisr-ondn. But in some of these rtatat, a* in Illinois, tbe election officers in cities are appointed by the city councils. In Alabama they are appointed by the probate judge, sheriff, and clerk of the circuit court In

Arkansas udges: in

are appointed by the county orado, county committee* t, by the registrars in Dela

ware, directly by tbe people in Iowa, by tbe township trustees in Kansas, by county officer* in Louisiana, by the s«p»rri*or *4 the parish in Nebraska they ar» elected annually. And so on.

It is a curiqpo circumstance that neariy all the Londen daOy newspapers are printed on paper msde in Sstdn and Germany.

COME TO ME, DEAREST.

[Joseph Brennan.]

Come to me, dearest, Pm lonely without thee. Day-time and night-time Pm thinking about thee Night-time and day-time in dreams I behold thee Unwelcome the waking which ceases to fold thee. Come to me, darling, my sorrows to lighten, Come in thy beauty to bless and to brighten Come in thy womanhood, meekly and lowly Come in thy lovingness, queenly and holy.

Swallows will flit round the desolate ruin, Telling of spring and its joyous renewing And thoughts of thy love and its manifold treasure Are circling my heart with a promise of pleasure. 0 spring of my spirit! O May of my bosom! Shine out on my soul till it burgeon and blossom. The waste of my life has a rose-root within it And thy fondness alone to the sunshihs can win it

Figure that moves like a song through the even Features lit up by a reflex of heaven Eyes like the skies uf poor Erin our mother, Where the shadows and sunshine are chasing each other Smiles come seldom, bus childlike and simple Planting in each rosy cheek a sweet dimple. Oh! tlianki to the Savior, that even thy seeming Is left to the exile to brighten his dreaming You have been glad when you knew I was gladden'd Dear, are you sad now to hear I am sadden'd! Our hearts ever answer in tune and in time, love, As octave to octave, and rhyme unto rhyme, love, 1 can not weep but your tears will be flowing— You can not *mile but thy cheeks will be glowing I would not die without you at my side, love— You will not linger when I shall have died, love.

Come to me, dear, ere I die of my sorrow Rise on my eloom like the sun of to-morrow Strong, swift, and fond as the words which

I speak, love.

With a -ong on your lip, and a smile on your cheek, love, Come, for my heart in your absence is weary Hasts, for my spirit fa sicken'd and dreary Come to the arms which alone should caress thee Come to the heart which is throbbing to press thee.

STRAYED INTO THE PROMENADE.

Summer Millinery Abashed Him— A Very Much Subdued Child. (Philadelphia Press.] When the crowd waa thickest and brightest on Chestnut street a lost child strayed up Twelfth street and around the corner into the promenade. He was clad in a razeed bathing-dress of blue flanuei, with white stripes. He had bare le?s and molassescandy colored hair. His face and hands showed that his latest play-grourid had been an ash heap. As he entarel the crowd of new summer millinery the lost child became abashed. He stuck a dirty finger in his dirty mouth, and his dirty face was bent downward as he was swept on down thB street in a chattering ocean of grenadine, surah, pongee and cretonne.

As be reached the high steps of the old Baldwin mansion he withdrew himself from the on-sweeping wave. First ho put one small smudged bare knee on the lowest of the marble steps, then another. He still kept his eyes down, but he had to take his finger from his mouth in order to clamber up by the railing. Finally he reached the top, and sat down on the lintel. All the women stopped. There was a flock in tbe street while they endeavored to beguile tbe lost child from his perch. A fat woman in a bearded jersey chucked at him. A young woman with a brocaded parasol offered to show him tho "choo choos." A schoolgirl with her hair down her beck, held out 6, package of candy to him.

Still be sat there, with his face down and his finger again in hi-i mouth, utterly ashamed of the commotion he had created and unresponsive to the chorus of "Ain't he cunning?" apd "Ob, the little dear." When the street had been blocked for five minutes a big reserve, who had been hitching from one foot to another on tbe outskirts of the admiring crowd waiting for it to break up, summoned his courage and shouldered his way through it

Tbe lost child still kept his fingers in his mouth and kept his face down as, perched on the policeman's shoulder, he rode off toward Central station. He had not spoken, nor smiled, nor cried sinoe he struck tbe wave of summer millinery on the corner of Twelfth street He remained subdued until his frightened mother came for him at night He was the most abashed child ever lost in Philadelphia.
