One lii-Tte Lfl?ers.|; i bcbb w. m i.vtwll. We then Set to work to arrange ilie table. Mrs. Murphy had brought out , her best table linen and all of her best , silver, and china and had prepared a great feast. "But I never dreamed," | she said, ''the dinner would bo such s , success." In about fifteen minutes the , table wns a veritable thing ot beauty. , protege and tlio artiat ixffioiiibined | their skill and tasl^aiid arranged the , flower, and fruit Jo great advantage. , took several plate* and filled them ( with the different daintie* be bad pur- , chased, but anmcliow lie put most of | tticm at one end, and that was the end , which belonged to oar protege. Tluuiks ^ to Mac's artistic taste again, wc luul a , grand open wood firiplace, instead of , commonplace coal grate, a id to- , night tbe wood spluttered and cracked , and did its beat to assUt In the fcativi- , ties. Finally, when everything was in , readiness, Mr*. Murphy appeared. | carrying with her own hands the biggest ^ turkey .you ever saw. I will not ( nttcmp to deicrilie tbat dinner : sufllce to say lhat it was a grand succss*. , land for unboundod happincw. ' There 1* no boubt that every one of *u* | at times allowed our mind* to revert to , Christmas dinner* of bygone day*, but Uierc was no evidence of it. Our protege was a favorite with all before tlie | meal was half over, and when it was , artist had removed the hut vestige , of the feast, wc all gathered around the , anil talked and told stories , until Nod picked up his guitar, and regaled us with several songs, principally j southern. Our protege was seated on u , ottoman beside Ned. and several , moments after he laid his guitar on the , in the midst of a profound silence, she involuntarily picked it up and struc k , several chords, after which, without a | word, she played what certainly was , the -sweetest, wiereleat air I ever j listened lo. When she had finished playing there was not a sound until she It down, when Ned., again offering i it to her, said : "Won't you pardon me for not know- ' for my stupidity, I know you can | sing. Won't you please sing something - for us?" Without a word she took it from him ■ and began in a sweet and. oli. how pa- | a voice lo sing ••Homo. Hwcet i At the wont* — There's no place like home"— i her voice trembled, but she wing through to the end bravely. When the last note ' died away— _ 1 "We sat in mcdiatativc awe. ' Each wrapped in thought oi yore." 1 llow long wc sat 1 do not know, hut ' we were awakened from our reverie by ' our protege rising and saying: "I think 1 will go to Mrs. Murphy ' now— and— Ood bless you 'all for your ' kindness to mc." silent "good night," while 1 walked with her to tho door. When reached t|io door i I took her proffered band and said; "you - have been like an in angel from Heaven to us. Good night." j After closing the door I resumed my , seat In silence, which was broken again I after several moments by Mac, who said, ' "You hit It there, old man. Let's call | her "Our Angel.' " Tho pro|iosition , found immediate, favor, and she was i christened. Before wc retired that 1 night, while puffing avray at our well ; pipes, we decided upon our course. young la<ly was to be under Mrs. : guiding care and, as she was quite an artist she was to attend the School of Design every afternoon. At ! Breakfast and dinner she was to sit at the the head ol the tal-lc and brighten ; the establishment. The arrangements mapp"il uut'.tbat Obrigtmas night worked admirably. We three balcliolors prospered, and or "Our Angel." us we nearly all called ber, bad grown to be a sweet sis- - let to us all, and had grown more beautiful each succeeding day. She had 1mprowd greatly in her painting and music, tho latter being obtained by tho sale of her own painting*. It would be hard to find four happier, more contented people than we were. Shortly after Mary's arrival we each signed a solemn compact not to speak or write a word of love to her without the consent of tjic other two. This vow was strictly 'adhered to. It was well, too, for no jman could be more devoted to the wo* msn.he loved than each of us was to her, but whether Buy or all of us were in love with ber was a fact known only to our individual selves How long matter, could have continued in their own way their is no telling, but our little circle ' was destined to be broken. One January morning in 1881 I clianoed to look in tho " Demon*!" cob umn of onr paper, when'.my eye became ' rivlted'on the name "Mary Thornton." Upon reading I discovered that it .wa« , an advertisement from the lawyer who ' bad charge of the estate of the late Goorge Thornton, Mary's uncle, and ask- ' ing for immdiate Information as to her , wlicrn bouts. I threw my bomb into the midst of our group that evening at dinner, and, while we guardians all rejoiced It' was to bring Joy and wealth to "our ■ angel," we knew lhat It Iheant separation and an end to our happy homo. As I «oOn as we had had our say Mary burst into leers and said she would never leave I the borne where she had been so happy, I but we finally convinced her that such I an action would be an emir in every respect I calved to the letter of Inquiry which j stated that Goo. Thornton hail filed in i November and had bequeathed hi* en- , tire estate to the wife and daughter of - hi* late brother. Hie estate amounted to over •900,000.

When this letter was ren.Ho her, Mary' not leave us. ^Ei'jSftlW-bccn so. happy hire," shcscbbedTtdJ^ have all been ; Whether either of ibeotber twowlshi-d 1 had the tho right to comfori ber or ' not 1 cannot say. J Six month* later found Misa. Thornton living in a swell resilience with the faith- ' ful and efficient Mrs. Murpliy pleasantly : as housekeeper. In her stead j ■ came nnother.wbo was fairly satisfactory ' but somehow, the meals never seemed to i ' taste the same and there was not the | ' regularity observed which used to j ' go through the entire meal without u ' down word* being spoken, news-papers 1 proving very satisfactory companions. J Sunday night wc were- pledged ' to go to Miss Thornton's for dinner. ' She was always the same dear girl to us , 1 hut somehow things changed. There wasn't the- same feeling of good fellow- ' ship which used lo exist and it was quite- . • frequently that some of us were com. t \ Priled to be sway fro... i hat .Sunday , 1 Things were going on this way until { ■ Christmas eve of lust year. Wc we-re-all , ' broke the- silence by Urn very abrupt ro- \ 1 l stand this much longer: - ] As not a word had been spoken, we | ' and I have lived up to it like a man. ! ! though sometimes it nearly killed m< to 1 dolt.

Accordingly the- [ following letter was written: 1 CiummiAs Eve. • Deaii Maiiv: We will not enter into ; any details; you know them all.

I bare not asked Mary j which she loves, and being her chief r gaurdian may-be I should, But 1 have a the consolation of knowing that I will f always have a sweet sister to go to for e comfort. During the past throe year* y "our angel" has been a great comfori o to me, since 1 confided my hopeless love i- for one who in some respects remind* n Gontlomon. t In one class, and not long ago, he was regarded as a gentleman who kept a ^ gig. lie Is a gentleman In ono house who does not eat peas with his knife; in another, who Is not to be discountenanced by any created form of butief. in my e own case 1 have learned to move among „ pompous menials without much terror, is never .Without much respect.

There could be no " question whieh were the better gantlemcs. And yet I was hurried into no j" democratic theories; for 1 saw the members' part was the more difficult to play. I saw that to seve was a more graceful '' attitude than to be served, I knew besides that much of tbe servants' gentility w*s ad hot an would be laid aside with their livety jackets: and to put tbe matter in a nutshell, that some of the members would have made vet; civil " footmen sad many of .the servants *1 intolerable member*.

r Door Yards and Lawns. There is no more civilising Influence abroad during the warm weather than the view of finely kept lawns and yards. Disorder and litter here always indicatethe Wiroc conditions within the dwelling. It is a sensible custom which now relegates most of the flowers to the garden ' where they can be cultivated and «uit at | pleasure, with only a mass of brilliant | J bloom here and there dotting the i charming accessories, especially where dampness, ami not In ugly set rovfs that seem to be perpetually starting off in a ' scattered here and there singly delight- ' ful shady dump* a* if they always grew there. Most people are reasonably acareful ' about the looks ortho front lawn, hut the hack yard, in almost a majority of ' cases, is more or less neglected. There 1 is no reason why the back yard should ' not as shady, wcil-kcpt and pleasant ' as the front yard. In the first place, no ^ rubbish or table refuse should ever be rest should lie carried far from the house 1 ami there la- piled up to be carried away at convenient interval*. But the point to emphasize most strongly is that no ' thrown out near the house. \Vhuru this > is done, lliu surface of the ground becomes sour and slimy and emits a very ■ unpleasant anil unhealthy odcr. Tho * water also soaks into the soil and i underground channel*, and carries its ' of filth and poison into the well. 1 used Willi good effect or the garden, but " everything else should bo carried far ' the surface of the ground where the sun pool* are often used, lull nobody in his senses should think of constructing any such pit of rtllll and foul gases any where 1 "BRAVO. YEA. BR AVISSIMO!" | Tho Sixth volume of Alden's Manifold , treated briefly, there an- many extended articles, as for instance, Brazil, seven I pages; Urracli-Iogding Guns, eleven r pages; Bridge, cloven pages; British , Museum, ten pages, Brooklyn, five , Buddhism, fifteen pages; and , California, sixteen .pages. The Cyclol pedia well deserves the enthusiastic , commendation it is receiving from all [ sides; it is certainly THE Cyclopedia , for popular use. Rev. Dr. Wright of Milwaukee evidently voices the thought . of many when lie say*: "I may in all . truth and soberness quote It* first word _ as expressive of my sentiments in regard hensiveness, its cheapness, etc.— 'Bravo, f yea, Bravissimy !'" Its small bandy I volume, contrasting so greatly with the s usual bulky, unwieldy volumes adopted | by publishers of Cyclopedias is a very I pieasnt characteristic, and undoubtedly adds greatly to tho usefujness of the - work, as slated by Dr. Hasty of India- ' napolis, who says: "I have the AmerL | can Cyclopedia, but reference is made" to j the Manifold so far at I have it, ten j marvel of compactness and completeness." The publisher sends specimen pages free to any applicant, or sjiecinien volumes which may be returned if not , wanted, fur 00 cents for clotb binding, ' 75 cents for half Morocco, post-paid; the lii-tlcr binding is particularly coinmcndI ed.

NswiDSDer Trials. • One of the great trials of the newsi paper profession Ls that its members arc . compelled to see more of the sham of > the world than any otner profession. • Through every newspaper office, day af, - tor day, go all the weaknesses of th* i world-all the vanities lliat want to be t puffed, all the revenges that want to be t reaped, all the mistakes that want to be : corrected, all the dull speakers that " wan'. u> be thought eloquent, oil the -• meanness that wants to get its wares mentioned gratis In the editorial column • in order to save the tax of the advertis1 set right who were never right, all tlic i crack-brained philosophers with stories i as long a* their hair and as gloomy as their finger-nails in the morning because < bereft ot soap, all the bores who come to stay five minutes; but talk five hours. 1 Through tho editorial and tho reportI orial rooms all the follies and shams of [ the world arc seen, day after day, and i the temptation is lo beliove neither in I God, man nor woman. It is no surprise to me lhat in this profession there are • H»inc«kcptica! men; I only wonder that i T. lit Witt Talmagt. Men differ in ideas of proper apparel. . One man insists on ••style," pri-fi-ring ul- , tra appearances to comfort or exact lit: another "must have comfort," even if he ' loses style and exact fit, while a third demands • *aii exact fit," aud sacrifices stylo I and comfort to obtain it.
