Althougu -he was as dutiful and loving a danghter anda kind a sister as of yore, there had been an event in Lottie’s life since the year D gan that was closely connected with the patientsigh she gave, as she sat gazing at her Bold, and abstrastediy tarning it over and over wher palm. She nat met, at the hoase of an eld friend of her late father, a young mau so well connected that many wondered hie should think of wedding a gir! who was ‘in service.” Mr. Charles Morison, they argued, with his gc orl pros oftice of Smithson Brothers, ought to look for a wife than Lottie Warde, whose father dicd bankrupt, and whose mother’s sole dep: : y some of Mr. Warde's creditors had purchased for bi Morison heard these things hi ghed and forget them.

She knew he would say that mothing could be in better taste than the weli- ting dark merino that had beea her best ress since the commencement of the autumn. But Lottie had her share of girlish vanity, and us she raised her eyes to her looking-giass a vision rose before her of a certain dove-colored in & mercer’s window near St. Panl’s that ould become her admirably. It was true that such an exp er sive purchase would absorb every farthing in tur p ssion, but she chose to ig- Bore this. So strong grew the temptation that when Lottic went that evening to visit her | mother she lingered long at the mercer’s win dow, and decided that on the morrow the dove- colored silk should be her own. The children threw down their books and toys when Lottie entered, for they loved ber dearly. and Mrs. Warde, though she had been aring 4 very anxious face, as she stitchet busily at some childish garment, contrive to smile at her eldest daughter, who, however,was # ewily deceived. “Some hing has gone wrong, mother; I am eure of it, by your looks.

Never again did Lottie let vanity stand in the place of duty, and | in the midst of her trouble she could be hum- bly thankful that this dear mother was still all her own. All that night she wept and bewailed herself, but when morning dawned and she saw how weary and exhausted Mrs. Warde was looking, Lottie put ber good intentions in practice and restrained her grief While her mother rested, she moved quietly about, dressing the little ones, whom her aitered ooks and swoilen eyes awed into unwonted oberness; nor was it till every task had been ccomplished that could spare Mra, Warde atigue that she seated herself at her moth eet and wept her 10 the sleep of haustion But stronger arms we: with a start, she awok ace of her mother th smiled at her, it was Ch moment she be you?” she asked wistful ri know not -what to think, snstaining her when, It was not the bent over her ies Morison hin nd *Yeu may believe that Charles Morison has committed no act that disgraces him,” said her rejoicing mother, whostood by. ‘Need we teli you more?’ . “Lottie pressed her hands to her head, and looked from one to the other, till the tender smile on Charlie's lips confirmed the tidings. “T seem too much bewildered to be as glad as should be,” she exclaimed. ‘Am I really —has there been no robbery after all? ‘That dreadful newspaper !—why did I believe the paragraph | heard Sir John read from it?” “Sit down here, you poor, pale child,” said Charlie, ‘and let mé help you out of your mys- tification.

The truth was concealed from her as long as sible. It was not until late last night she learnt that it was to hear the tale of her son's guilt that Mr. Crawley was summoned to the city; it appears that no one had suspected how, while Austin was believed to be quietly sleep- ing, he had packed a portmanteau and stolen out of the house in the dead of night to embark for America.” And so Lottie’s joy in her betrothed’s inno- cence was tempered by the knowledge that it Ave parents had been happily spared such deep sorrow, others were enduring it. She spent her Christmas Eve at Clapham, bnt not in the dove-colored siik. She was clad soberly in the dark merino, and heard, with drooping head and a troubled conscience, Mrs. Morrison teil ber how fully she and her hus band approved their son’s choice, and how her conduct as a daughter and sister had won their esteem long since. “Tam not half as good as you think me! Lottie tearfully confessed, and deepened their interest in her by her honesty. After all,“it was Mrs. Warde who wore the dove-colored silk at her daughter’s wedding. It was made up for her by Lottie herself, who, as her needle pagsed in and out of her work, drew from the events connected with her purchase the lesson every wise or foolish deed conveys to -the heart that is opened to receive it.

It is finished. Fashion is no longer the symbol of unceasing change, bat has become the incarnation of immobility; the but- terfly is transformed into a steady-going ani- mal; Psyche has become the “god of Perma- nence. People indemnify themselves, however, for | this stability in general styles by an unceasing variation of details. Witness the collarettes, small fichas, large fichus, scarfs, ion.

The same scarf is worn as a sash, @ bertha, an over-skirt, @ pouf, and a Marie Antoinette fichu. The most prominent of the toilette accesso- ries are the collarettes of all kinds.

Low necked dresses, in fact, are becoming more and more rare ‘There are hardly any dancing parties or large fetes, and even the opera house is burned, which formerly gave a pretext tor the display of low corsages, precious stones and rich aud gay fabrics. For the moment corsages wholly and ri: cally low are considered unsuitadle, save for some such occasion as an official dinner or re- ception at Marshal M’Mahon’s. A semi-decep ati | sympathy. tion is practical in this direction by draping something over a low corsage which transforms it into almost a high-necked one. This som-- thing is according to the nature and color of the dress, a scart of crepe de Chine or of black or white lace. In the latter case the contours of the pattern of the lace are studded with small black jet beads. ‘Tnis combination, apparently 80 simple, 18 wonderfully effective, the jet em- broidery gleaming in the light like the facets of diamonds. : ‘The following descriptions will serve as mod- els for the present toilets: Visiting dreas.

A Strange Stery. ‘Twenty-five years ago, a ss physician named Wieting, of Syracase, N. ¥. s just beginning te reap commensarate re: for a previous career of self-denying stady, unpai industry and needy endurance—haviog de- veloped an ability as a professional lecturer by which both reputation and profit were coming to him rapidly.

He determined to ascertain who he was, but before he could take the ordinary steps to such end the faithful foliower undertook his own introduction. After the lecture one even ing, the youthful stranger soaght the doctor on the platform, and, giving his name as W. Z Wright, asked the privilege of a brief con tion. He was, he said, boy, not yet of age, withoatrelat: is, who felt in himselt'a possibility of great things and an irresistible inspiration to find some one who had the mind and means to assist. A dent had led him tu attend the first lecture in Quincy, when, at first sight of the le face, he had been impressed with « peculiar natural sympathy between ther e from the matter of the scientific discaurs® the speaker's personality had exercised over him & magnetism not to be either described or r.si-t ed, so that he had been impelled to follow him fo Plymouth. It was his tinal conviction that the stranger soinfluenctng him conld be n> ot’ than the great friend whom his needs had insti- gated him to look for, and in this beltef he now wished to submit certain proposition. The California gold fever had just broken oat; he folt absolutely sure that if he could go out as & miner it would be to certain riches, and his proposal was that, in consideration of reoviving alf of the results of the goldan venture, the lectarer should supply him witha pecuniary outfit to the extent of $1,000! “1 shall sarely succeed,” concluded the youth, with singular earnestness of manner. "Only lend me tie sum I ask and have faith {n my honesty, and [ will make fortunes for both of us. ‘Trnst rae and you shall find me true!” Extraordinary and incongruous as this ghropoaition to a scien- titic lecturer was, Dr. Wieting did not receive it so astoundedly as a more ordinary character might have done. The stranger had mague tized him in his tarn, and the disposition to charity of which previous mention has been made inclined him totake a peculiar view of the curious application. Hence, instead of dismiss- ing theapplicantas a lunatic, dra very shallow and audacious imposter, he told him to call upon him at hisroomson the following day. Nor did subsequent retlection and consultation with his more worldly-minded brother, who was his business agent, induce the benevolent lectarer to think worse of the would-be Californian. In short, at the next appointed in thought still more highly of the youth’s sin ity, abilities, and contident mission, and, art an earnest conversation, bade him com: him to Boston, whefe the money shoalt be given.

Soon after these splendid figures had been reached there came another surprise. The voluntary debtor for life wrote that he was about entering a business enterprise requiring $30,000 more capital than he had at command, and lone his friend to lend him that sum. Here again another man might have hesitate!, but the doctor, with faith unshaken, freely sent the money, even at great inconvenience to hi self in those war times, In 1864 it came backt) him with full interest, and with it another letter of ardent gratitude from the borrower. “Y doubtless, think,” concluded the writer, “tha ou have been’ well repaid already tor your indness; but the time is coming when you recei insist “up agreement.’ year, ny the ry yet further proof of ‘my fiatitade, You ‘will yet possessor of a get fortune than vou ever thought ible.” But, since the letter so ending, and without address, Dr. Weltung has never beard again from Wright, and communicates the story to a writer for the Troy Times, in the ho; that the publication may lead to some certain information of the fate of his long-silent princely debtor.

THE MOON IN PROCESS OF DISRUPTION—A CHRERFUL OUTLOOK FoR US. [From the Utica Herald.) The story of a cracked and disintegratin, moon, which is mad e well their au- thenticity, will arouse a good deal of discussion itronomers. The story is of Luigi Cac- ciatore, a young man with an idea, and a for- tune of about $6,000, a student at the observa- tory of Marselles. This young man was so de- voted to his idea that he heaped his little for tune upon it, and, with a telescope and other instruments, set sail alone for the solitudes of Southern seas, Before embarking he handed to his old instructor @ roll of manuscript, upon which was inscribed the idea which the youth pursued, and his reasons for entertaining it at the expense of his time and fortune. He be- lieved, speaking unscientifically, that the moon was altogether more cracked than modern ae tronomers imagined, aud he went to the South seas alone; that, a there in that region where pacsed the deepest shadow,” he might see the sunlight peeping throagh the cracked moon at the time of the next eclip-e He went away to the South, even to Pitcaira’s Island, erected bis rude observatory, gained an old sailor to assist him, aud the two, with eyes front and instruments inted, awaited tue shadow.

Do not ima- gine him to bea stiff courtier, bata genuine | chevalier—a sort of mediw val landsknecht, who | seems to please the Italian on account of nis biuntness, which is so greatly at variance with their polished, insinuating manners. Although only of medium ststure, he presents a com- manding appearance by his well-rounded form, his lashing eyes, and military bearing. He came to meet me with outstretched | bands, welcomed me heartily, and asked m about’ my relatives, with whom he was quainted: | The same evening I dined with him. Victor Emmanuel, as a true Piedmontese, manched his grifiné (long, thin bread-rolis), and diedain- | ed partaking of any other dishes. But his ab- stemiousness was not surprising; for he likes to dine alone. Walking up and down in his room, he eats haifa dozen haif-raw cutlets from the sideboard, and drinks with it half a lire of | strong Piedmontese wine. When attending gala-dinners he never eatsany thing but the ubove-mentioned grifini. The king dismissed me that evening later than the rest of the guests, and invited me to go hunting with him next day. Toward evening on the following day, in car- riages drawn by four thoroagh bred horses (for Victor Emmaniel has the finest stad of horses in Forope), we reached ‘the hunting-castle in the Grajan'Alps, the only monotainous region outside of Spaig where the ibex is found yet dor it bas long Become extinct in Savoy, Swit- zerland, and the Tyrol. We had no companions out a few aides ani hunters. I had presented two splendid needte guns to the king, and he told me he was barn. ing to try them upon this noblest and rarest of European game. Early in the morning the king distributed the cast tor the hunt among us. A few car Were sent with provisions to an appointed f inthe mountains, where we were to me end of the hunt. The aides and lin eda mountain-path to the lett, while the k andl ‘ompanied by a single servant, adva ight ahead. Victor Emmanuel was dressed in ashort biack-velvet jacket. In his hand he hel! along Alpine stat, and his ritle Was strung acrots his back. The sun rose ma- Jestically, and it soon became very warm. Nev ertheless, the king made good headway, so mach 50 ly able to keep step with him.’ We left the forests beind us, anil assed through the alpine pastures. -¥ now and then the king stood still to take breath, and then be scanned the heights through his feld- glass. We heard the shrill notes of the marmots ut disdained firing at such ignoble game. Then we reached the snowy regions, and our attendant declared that he clearly di the fresh trail of an Ibex herd. Suddenly the king motioned to me, and, handing me the field-glase, pointed at several dark spots between a rocky slope and a gia cier. Ata glance I discerned three fine speci- mens of the ibex, grazing on a green oasis—the tirst I ever beheld. Notwithstanding the great distance, I plaiply saw how one of them turned around, and suspiciously snuffed the air. The apimais had probably heard the noise of our as- nt, but had evidently not yet seen us. Now it was all-important for us to get between them and the wind. ‘The king ordered his attendant to steal aroun! them, and to drive them toward us with loud noise, while we were to climb up cautiously to meet them. We lay down pros- trate on the ground and watched the progress of the attendant, who, with the atmost circum. spection, pertormed his arduous task.

When ‘hed them Victor Emmanuel, than whom no one can be more generous, said the honor of the day belonged to me, although he himself had fired the first lucky shot. Against this [ protested; but he was intlexible. So, two of the ibexes were declared to be mine. What magnificent animals they are! ‘They are smaller than chamois, but, notwith- staning. their immense horns. by ‘far more agile. Their skin is not brown, like that of the cbamois, but gray and shaggier. ‘The king now sent the at.endant to take the ame home, and then conducted me to the ren- lezvous. The road was the most magnificent [ have ever traveled in the Alps. Frequently we had to join handsin order to get on. I must con- fess that my strength was nearly exhausted: but Victor Emmanuel walked on with astonishing vigor. 1 was gl when we eapied the aides whom we had left in the morning, and who re- ceived us with enthusiastic cheers. They were sitting round a large fire on seats of moss, and we were asked to eatand drink with them. “You are a good sportsman,” said Victor Em- manuel, gayly, tome, ‘80 you must permit me to treat you as suc!
