"Then they ought to he ashamed of themselves," said my Aunt Pally, jerk- i ing her spectacles grimly into their black j morocco case. "I don't know what this , world is coming to when—' i But I didu't slay to hear Aunt Patty's I lecture. I.knew beforehand just what i was coming— I could have said it all off I lookiug-glaas with folded hands, to stare i at myself and think. . i I was not prelty. My eyes were tco small and too far apart, and my mouth : too wide, and my forehead too. humpyNone of the very limited circle of young men who visited Aunt Patty Powell's old-fashioned red-brick house had ever seemed to bo smitten with my charms — and here I was, eight and twenty, without, as yet, a single oiler of marriage I "I don't think there can possibly he any harm i» tiring, in spite of Aunt Patty," said I to myself. "Kitty Crocker got a good husband by advertising - all in fun, of course; but then it turned out real earnest, aficr ail, and I want one, too. And I don't care who knows It. I'll sign myself 'Lily Loveridgc.' and if anything comes of it I'll appoint a meeting under the old lime-trees on the common. It will be some sort of a variety In my life, even if it is nothing else.""" So I wrote the advertisement, and this is how it ran: "A ;oan( led; or fortuos Imimmi bed 1 ft me Ove hundred e ;e«, end u> m; limited vieloo 1Mb earn epprerrd imundlew weette) wonld end redoed (Mtlrmsn wiih e view ol meirtThreo days afterward, stealing to the

tost office under cover of the twilight. I got a letter addressed in a fine, scrawl, ing caiigraphy to"Miss Lily Loveridgc." I sped home, and flew up-slairs, lockand double-locking myself In. before J dared venture to open the musk-sccnl- ( ed missive. otVerjra^nt- I Bee wUI reoeive grateful eueatiou." With a beating heart I sat down and ' wrote to M. C. these liner ^'Kis.'isiwjsrifs.v.'sss1: newts; afternoon at four ovaock. "Lilt Lcreunae." It was a lovely August afternoon when I wended my way toward the old -light-ning-blasted elm at tho south corner of Ibe park, that waa called by courtesy our "common." The leaves on the tree* were motionless; the blue air was as translucent as a heavenly lake, and the ' far-off hum of Ibe manufacturing town i scarcely reached our ears. My heart I gave a great somersault at, drawing near I the bench under the elm, I saw a gentlcI man sitting there smoking. I Tall, dark eyed, handsome ! Dressed I like a prince of the blood, and wearing I diamond studs In his linen. I had bad I my dreams of the adorable ehevalios, but I this bright reality surpassed them all I I In my consternation I dropped my I parasol and stumbled, after m; own uoI graceful fashion, on r the flounce of my ' dress, bring my nose in contact with the ! edge of the bench. In an Instant the gentleman had Song away bis cigar and ' harried to my seeiatance: J "I hope you are not hurt," "said be eo1 licitous'y. "0, no! but— but it is to awkward." And straightway I began to cry. I don't ; know bow it was, bnt we seemed to get - acquainted in five minutes after that. He was a stranger in town, he told me that at once; and 1 had a deal to Icllbim about the public buildings and manufac- _ tnriiia. He was a lawyer, Marcus ClifJ ford by name. ("M- C>" quoth 1 to myself.) And then I told him that 1 was lizzie Field. And he asked me might he call ? and I said yea. And all this

lime neither of ue dared to allude to the ! advertisement. Well, if he didn't, why i , , should I ? Ju<t married -and Slarcus inoking'io- i 1 P ' | » "My darling, how sweet vcu look in | " that little traveling hat with the blue j 1 ' and ribbons to maieh." in- murmur- ' * i sinncicniiy tirana tne mt turn uniicu j - confess al Iwt. "If it hadn't been i | for that newspaper advertisement " -j 1 "What newspaper aevertiscment ?"

"I never luyd of lily Lovcridge in j : all my life.'' he ^ ! , I and the answer of "M. t He read litem over with an inU'nt,|iri^ ' r.lcd attention. I "Lizzie, 1 have never seen either of j • these before," said be, laughing in spite 6 of himself: - "Yon didn't come to the old lightningS blasted elm in answer to any appointment then ?" • "Certainly I didn't. I came there bccauee it struck me as a nice place to' sit " ami smoke my cigar. And when -it- , ^ young lady stumbled over the skttt of ,l her dress, and I sprang to help licr up, 1- I had in' idea that I was meeting my " fate. So you advertised lor a husband. e did you, my sly little Lizzie, and got j the wrong one after al! T' "The right one, you mean," saki I. "

blushing, and heartily ashamed, yet hup- ^ py .through it all. "It waa a piece of girlish folly, and it makes my cheeks burn to think of it now; but you'll not blame me, will yon. Marcus ? I've got (1 some one to take better care of me now." "I don't think I shall ever blame yon £ much for anything, my love," answered ' husband, serenely. When we came home from our tour, Miily Brown, the landlord's dauglhcr of the "Park Hotel." came to call on me, ' and among other things, she had a little story to tell me about a handsome, auda- ( clous fellow who had l^urded at the , house. "Ho went awej very suddenly," said J [ Miily, confidentially, "on account of r having committed some forgery or aome- , thing. A regular villian, I do suppose, ' , Lizzie, dear. Only, after ho was gone, . we found twa newspaper slips, and a , rough draft of one of his hand writing- ' [ He had hern corresponding with some r girl called LUy Loreridge.

Do yon kn->w any such person in town ?" 1 "No," I answered, feeling myself , color deeply. . j "Well," said Miily, airily, "whoever I he is. she had a luckjfescape from him." And 1 thought so, loo. r Among .the schemes for shorteuing the ' time between America and England that ^ tor making Holyhead the eastern tcrmi- / 1 nusYor IrannaUaniie travel again revived/ I to the dismay of Liverpool.

As soon as the dollars cease ' the grievances will cease. The tenantfarmers of Ireland bad a few grievances; p "vrfme litem really serious, but the re- 1 ' and have given the tenants nu interest in their land, such as no tenants in the ' world have. No tenant in Ireland can bo put out of Uls holding, except for t>e put out oi uis iiuiuiug, vsiA-f-

non-|»ymcnt of rent, and even tben he sl cannot be evicted without compensation. M are 000.000 tenants and 1,781 ® landlords in Ireland. The landlords ftl may be divided Into lour classes. * 1st. The English companies called £ "Irish Society;" these cannot appro- b priste any of the rents to their use ex n ccpt tho actual cost of working. The " remainder they distribute among the re- B ligious community Protestant and Catho- c lies for educational and religious pur- B poses. 2d. The hereditary landlord who has been fairly lenient towards the- 1 tenants. 3d. Landlords who purchased ' their property in the Encumboretl B" ' tates Covets; these men were generally severer than the hereditory landlords ' because they wanted to make as much profit as possible from their purchase I 4th. The middle-men; these were men ' who leased land from some proprietors 1 whs did not want to have the trouble ot' collecting rents. Now these midilletneu were the worst and most tyranicai landlords in Ireland and brought down a great deal of the misery, that has come - on ttifrcountry.

What la Tariff. Young men arc rarely posted upon the topics of the day and probably nine out of every ten clerks could not satisfactorily explain what Is meant by tariff. origin of the word is thus defined | a reliable authority: "If you turn to I a map ot Spain, you will lake note at southern point, and running out into the Straits of Gibraltar, of a promontory which form its position is admirably stlapted for commanding the entrance stands upon This" pfomohWy, called now. as it was also called in the times of the Moorish d nomination in Spain. 'Tsrifa;' the name is indeed of Moorish origin. It was the custom of the Moors to watch from this point all merchant ships going into, or coming out of the Midland Sea, and issuing from this stronghold to levy duties according to fixed rates on all merchandise passing in and out of the straits; and this was called from the place where was levied, tarifa or tariS, and in this way we have acquired tho word." Taris. therefore, a duly charged on goods i exported or imported. National taxai tlons in the United States have always i been levied chiefly In the foim of tariff , duties on Imports. ^ Mr. George Kennan, the Siberian trav- , cler and writer, iiob been black-listed by I the ltussian Government, and will not , lie permitted to re-enter the Cxat'a doB minions. "I expected, of course," says Mr. Kennan. "to be put on the ltussian ! black-list.

I brought back more than 50 pounds of notes, papers, and original documents, of tho latter from secret Government archives, besides 500 or 800 foolscap pages of manuscript prepared for by political exiles in all parts of Siberia, and covering the most noteworthy .episodes in their lives I visited every convict mine in Siberia, and every convict prison except one, and I believe I know the exile system better than most officers of tbe exile administration, snd far better than any outsider.
