A TEMPTATION.

When Leander Clarice married Mabel Thorpe, he had so expectation of ever being a rich man, bat as his affairs appear at the present time he is on the broad highway to future wealth. It all arose from the fact that he took time by the forelock, the only way poor mortals have of ever getting even with him of the scythe and hourglass.

Now, Mabel Thorpe did not expect her hero to swim the Hellespont of life with all his armor on, but she did de raand from him, as she had a right to do, a h:gh moral standard, lor she had not married him -until she had seen, as she believed, his whole past life laid open before her as a book. There is no time when a man is as weakly senti mental and as religious as when he is trying to live tip t© the standard of pure young girl's ideal, and Xieander became almost-an angel.

There are very few of us capable of making human angels of ourselves. •Good and evil are as persistently present in our moral nature as light and darkness are in our atmosphere, and one serves as the complement of the other. To banish night we use the light of science, to counteract wrong we invoke divine help, but so largely is our worldly nature in-excess of our spiritual powers that we are constantly in danger of erring to be forgiven—in other words, sinning and repenting.

Mabel Thorpe believed in an inflexible uprightness. The command to do •evil that good may come was to her a perverted text. She was not aware that there are sins of omission as well as cf commission, and that her unrighteous condemnation of sinners and her severe judgments were in themselves of a sinful nature. The self righteous are often harder to live with than the sinner.

Leander Clarke had been a good son, and be intended to be a good husband. He was both proud and fond of his wife, bnt certainly regretted that he could not give her all the luxuries that she could appreciate, not even the grand piano that her musical talent deserved. But he went to work with a will to make her happy and hoped in a few years to be able to add all other needful things.

Among the wedding presents of the young couple was one that far outshone all tho rest—a superb set of diamonds sent by an uncle of Leander's who was near to death and gave the residue of a large estate in this extraNgant present. Leander himself was geu^ely sorry that such an undesirable

gilvSad

been

made, but he argued that his tv^Cwas a sensible woman and would turn into something more suitable to condition in life—a piano, for instance, which was a necessity rather than a luxury. What was his surprise when his bride said: "I never was so pleased in my life, Dinmonds represent to me the crystallization of everything beautiful in art and nature. I never dreamed that I should possess such magnificence." "But these have no associations," said her husband. They are not heirlooms.'' "They will be. All diamonds were now at some time. And are they not associated with the dear' old man who gave them?"

The dear old man had been a terror in tho family and had only given the diamonds to Leander's wife because he hated that nephew a little less than the others, whom he hoped to make horribly jealous and angry and had succeeded.

When Leander asked his wife to keep her diamonds in the bank, she promptly declined. "But you surely will not wear them, dear?" ho suggested. "Why not?" she asked. "It would injure our prospects and not bo consistent with our position." "They wore a gift tome. Surely I havo tho right to do as I please with my own." "The right, yes. But I thought my wife had more discretion. I did not know you cared for gewgaws, Mabel."

So tho first cloud came on the horizon of their love, but Leander was good tempered and Mabel satisfied, and it disappeared. The truth was that Leander had expected a handsome sum of money from this very tuicle, who was a bachelor and very tld. But age bad not mellowed an ugly disposition to thwart his relatives, and after raising the young man's hopes he took a malicious pleasure in disappointing them.

The young couple

began life in a

pretty furnished cottage on the modern plan of a chafing dish and hand painted china, and it worked like a charm. Mabel presided over the dainty cuisine, the butler's pantry, the parlor, and really did wonders. Leander fell in love with her over and over again. But for the diamonds they would have been as happy as larks.

Did they hear a sound at night—it was a burglar after those precious gems. They were afraid to leave the house alone lest thieves break in and steal, and one or the other of the two was compelled to be the biding place of the jewels when they went out together. Mabel did not care to adorn herself with diamonds when she went to market or to church, but she could not listen to a sermon in peace if the gems were not fnbout her. And somehow it did annoy her to carry concealed wealth like a brigand or a smuggler.

But when Leander had a chance to buy shares in the Little Catawba Lumber company and to make as much in

i#g

three months as he would in a year by his clerkship Mabel would not listen to the suggestion that the bank would ad vanee enough on the diamonds to enable him to aiak© the investment.

Thou Leander discovered that his wife could b(i a very obstinate woman. It was in vain that he laid before her the benefit that would result from a transient disposal of the gems. She replied, not without logio on her side, that the Little Catawba might be a failure, and then her p/ecious. securities would be forfeited. Leander, tnan fashion, grew angry, and after some hot words reached the penultimate of passion. "I wish," he said in tones of invective, "that burglars would get the hate ful st(uses. They might at least be of some u-o t: them J"

h"!

come

that curses, lite chickens,

rocst

After Leander had

asked forgiveness for bis rudeness and Mabel had sweetly extended the olive branch of conciliation he suggested that she be doubly careful of her cherished possessions. "The town is full of burglars, and they know the people who have fine, diamonds, and if they once set out to get them they'll succeed."

Mabel did not sleep with the diamonds in the same room. Womanlike, she thought if she secreted them in some place where they would never be deteoted they would be safe. Neither the ash barrel nor the ragbag entered into her calculations, but places just as inconsistent did.

1* ^4

One night there was a crash in the room below. Mabel shook her sleeping husband and whispered in his ear:

Burglars 1 Get your revolver and go down stairs. The diamonds are injhe bottom of the clock." JV j^jf

Leander was startled and confused, bnt as the noise continued he hurried on his clothes, and taking his revolver ran softly down the stairs. Mabel remained where she was, shivering with fear.

There was a fearful commotion below, the noise of falling furniture, opening and closing of windows and the rapid firing of the revolver after some flying robber. Then regard for her husband's life compelled Mabel to hurry to his assistance. She found him lying on the floor, grasping his revolver.

She did not faint nor shriek, but, kneeling beside him, bathed his face and besought him to speak to her. "Where am I?" he asked feebly as he tried to raise himself. "Are the diamonds safe?" "Never mind tho diamonds," said his wife. "Are you mortallv wounded anywhere?" "I don't know," answered Leander feebly, and, to her credit be it recorded,. Mrs. Leander assisted her husband to a couch and sent off, or rather called for, assistance before she even thought of her diamonds.

Then the open door of the clock told the wLole story. The diamonds were gone, root and branch! And they were the only things stolen.

If Leander had been surprised at the manner of his wife on receiving the jewels, he was astonished at the calm indifference with which she parted from them. She allowed the usual course to taken to recover the thief or thieves justice, but when no results followed she said she was glad of it that the gems had been like an evil eye to them, and for her part she never wanted to hear of them again. "I wonder," she said, "that I did not see it in that light before. I will never keep anything in my house again to tempt the cupidity of the wicked or unfortunate. To that extent am I my brother's keeper."

But the effect upon her husband was entirely different. Either he caught cold on that night of the burglary or his nervous system received a shock, for he was almost ill from the effects of his tussle with the burglar. And he could not endure to have the subject mentioned before him. Not even the success of the "Little Catawba," in which a friend had invested for him, guye him the peace and rest he craved.

A little incident that happened at that time did, however, help to restore him to his normal condition. His wife received a small package, accompanied by a soiled and dilapidated note, which, upon being opened, read: honoud mad

KM—i gets no sleap sen co stoal

yure chmons no ynro lately aniama retch if 1 giv t..em up pra fur mo. on unnoue trend.

And in the package Mabel found her diamonds, exactly as she had last seen them.

She was pleased—where is the woman who w(?uld not have been?—and she at once showed her confidence in her husband by placing the gems in his hands for safo keeping in the bank. "I wish I had taken your advice earlier," she said gracefully. "It would have saVed us so much trouble.''

Leander murmured something about all being well that ends well and at noon brought her a certificate of deposit.

There we leave them on the way to fortune and happiness if—if Leander's conscience does not upset the whole scheme. He would give a great deal to know, what no clairvoyant could tell him, how much or how little Mabel has discovered. My otfn opinion is that she saw through it from the first and holds herself equally guilty as accessory after the crime, and with that sweet fickleness which even an upright woman employs she will make herself a loving accomplice, for it is a foregone conclusion that Leander Clarke was his own burglar.—Detroit Free Press.

CONSERVATIVE.

The lOnt Use of the Word *s an Political Term, Canning, and not Oroker, was the first to use in English politics the word conservative in its present sense, and too long has Thackeray's "Mr, Wen ham" (Disraeli's

MMr.

Rigby") had the

credit which belongs to afar more bril liant ,ii. The general assumption has been that tho term was earliest employed in TlTe Quarterly Review for January, 1880 (No, 83, page 276), in an article which has been commonly said, bnt upon no specified authority, to have been written by Croker, but its true first use was five years and a half previously,

On June 8, 1824, a dinner was given to George Hibbert, the ohairman of the West India Merchants of London, by the members of that body, and several of the leading ministers then serving undei Lord Liverpool, the Tory premier, were present. In the course of the proceedings, says a contemporary account, "an observation which fell from Mr. Can ning was that the spirit of the present government, as that of all governments ought to be, was essentially conservative."

This appeared in John Bull of June 18,1824 (page 198),and the apt word was so obviously remarked that it was italicized. Years passed, and Canning had died before the word is again to be met in English politics, bnt on March 14, 1829, Charles Greville noted in his diary that "Herries told Hyde Villiers that their (the Tories') policy was conservative, that of the Whigs subversive, and that they never could act together."— 'The Greville Memoirs,'' volume 1, part 1, page 192.

The word, employed by both Canning and Herries, was thus "in the air" before it \fbs given in The Quarterly, %nd this accords with a statement made in the course of a correspondence on the "Etymology of the Word Conservative" which appeared in The Standard at the end of- October, 1882, wherein it was said to have been first used in 1829, during the closing controversies upon Roman Catholio emancipation. —Notes and Queries. Frees That Die When Men Live Near Them.

The deaths of nearly all the pine trees in Asbury Park give rise to an infceresth question as to whether or notit is true that this tree is so wild by nature that it will not endure domestication. It is the breed of pine that grows In the sand close to the seashore of which this seems to be true. Asbury Park is built upon a former sea beach extending three milos inland to the edge of the great forest that reaches from Eatontown, back of Long Branch, to (jape May. This forest is called "The Pines," because of the preponderance of pine trees in it, the other trees that are plentiful there being mainly oaks of four varieties, with a few magnolias, tulips, sassafras and, hickor^ trees and hollies ™"d laurels.

The pines still flourish in the woods behind Asbury Park, but in the town a large fraction of the few that remain are sickly and dying. Thousands have died and been cut down since the tree embowered town was built in the woods a quarter of a century ago. The-viltee lagers say they die because it kills them to have human beings walk beside them. They say that even in the forest the pines that stand beside the footpaths are the first to die. Others credit their destruction in the village to the shaking of the earth by the heavy trolley cars and steam railway trains, and still others declare that manuring, watering and topsoiling the sandy ground is what has done {he damage. The truth is yet to be determined, but certain it is that tjiey are dying fast, and that already Asbury Park has lost most of its noblest ornaments.—New York Sun.
