By Harriet Prescott Spofford. ‘From Harper's Bazar. There were two things patent concerning Miss Mary Duanlap—one that she was an exceedingly Pretty girl; the other, that she was as arrant a coquette as ever bewitched a man. She had hair whose loose locks gilded a white forehead, but whose heavy masses glistened like fawn- tinted satin; she had great black-lashed bine eyes, with an enchanting way of glancing under their down-dropping fringes; her teeth were as even asthe kernels of milk corn; her features fine as if chisselled In ivory; her dimples, her smile, the rose and white of her skin, were lovely and innocent.as any baby’s; and the depth of her guile there was no fathoming. Not that it was very guilty guile; it was but a trivial sort after all. It consisted only in making herself charming; and there were even those who said “she couldn't help it if she would. She felt an interest in everybody; feeling it, she showed it; and if people chose to think it meant more than it did, that was their fault, and not hers. And there was no earthly reason, they said. why Mr. | Popison should sappose, when half the lovely women of an older generation had refused his hand, that this spoiled darling meant anything but commiseration by her tender looks of sym- pathy as he told his gri iter bringing her great bunches of Toses at thirty cents apiece. The fact was, It pleased her that Mr. Popison. who had once admired her tyrannical younzer aunts, should now admire her. Then itdid no harm to have James McArthur see that she could step into a pair of sumptuous shoes, and cross the threshold of the spiendid old Popison mansion over the river; and time flew but slowly, and the affair amused her; and 4% woulda’t hurt poor Mr. Popison, who was ured to that sort of thing. It was a gay house, the Dunlap. All the family elements combined there. There were two grandmothers, a mother and father, aunts on both sides, two or three cousins, and Mary Dunlap and her sisters, and friend: and lovers going and coming; and the time was heavy to mo one but Mary, and might not have been to her had James McArthur had the wit to see what some others thought they saw. But James McArthur, a handsome, high-step- ping. fellow, with a good business and some am- tion, had his eyes sufficiently wide open. Mary had touched his heart as deeply as he dared to let her, for he hesitated abort marry- ing for love when he might marry for love and money too, and Mary would have tittle money; andhe hesitated, too, about marrying a girl with whom everybody else was in love. “‘A co- quette,” said the young McArthur, “gives her husband little peace”; and he had different Visions. Nevertheless the girl could not brush him with her garment without sending thrille through him, and he nad only to look that way in church and see the rosy edge of her velvet cheek beyond the pillar to feel the color all over his own face, and the sudden sound of her voice would at any time make his heart cease beating for the fraction ofa second. Still he hesitated. Not so Mr. Popison. He knew what he want- ed, and he meant to have it. It is true that he had thought so in more than one instance before, id, was in his green and callow days; and if hand had been refused, he was mg of it, as that left it free to offer Mary Dun- He had known y Dunlap since she was a baby; had given her her first cibraltars and her last butter-scotches; she had spent his pennies and sat on his knee, and combed his hair with her tiny fingers and kissed his mouth with her sweet innocent lips; he had been her confidant and had known every thought of her pure heart and then she had zone away to school, had spent a winter in New York se and had come back 80 gay and brilliant a heart-breaker that he found himself the victim of a passion of which all his other flames had been mockerie He, forty-five, to hope for the love of a girl of twenty! Yet, hopeless or not, he hov- ered round hier like a moth, and only found James MeArthur just enongh in his way to hin- der urging his point. Or was it Mary Dunlap herself who hindered it—Mary Dunlap, unable to decide whether she preferred James McAr- thar, with his bold black eyes, his proud comeli- Ress, and splendid youth, or Mr. Popison, Just beginning to be baid, with his half million of money. Once, when she heard James McArthar Teproach a servant who had delayed with a note of hers, she thought Mr. Poprson’s indulgent kindness was something desirably restful. On the other hand, when she looked at James MeArthur’s dark dazzie of beauty, the dail sight of so plain a face as Mr. Poplson seemed a sorry fate—and Popison was euch a dreadful name! But Mary would not have her thoughts dwell on more than the step before her.

His master has (among other goods) valentines for sale, and naturally the boys of the street are attracted by those of the comic order and miss no opportunity to ex- amine them. The merchant ts the owner of a remarkably fine specimen of the crossed St. Bernard and Newfoundland dog. The animal has had no special training, and had not been taught to watch or to know anything about property ownership; but it has been permitted to visit the store jnently, and has undoubt- edly noticed that people are entitled to remove from the establishment whatever a salesman hands to them or permits them to take—and it may be reasonedin the same way that the dog has worked out to his own satisfaction that whatever is removed without delivery being made by the attache of the store is removed im- properly, and that all good dogs should resist ali such efforts. Certain it is that the other day the dog acted upon this line of reasoning, if reason it is when manifested in one of the lower order of animals. A group of ‘boys came into the store to examine the valen- tines displayed on the counters in tempting array. They were a rather rough-looking lot, and as soon as he could leave other customers the merchant hastened towards the boys. The dog was lying upon the floor near them. The boys soon concluded that they did not want to purchase, and were about to retire, when the dog arose, barred their passage to the door. and growled threateningly. This surprised the salesman, who had never before known the animal to show any disposition to attack a per- son without apparent provocation. He accord- ingly spoke sharply to the dog, and on his still continuing to menace the boys, and show by his manner tffat he was | to their departure from the room, his master ordered him to the back part of the store, and started to enforcethe order, when he espied a package of valentines sticking from the immediately sei him, and as a result found and stored away about his person a good supply of the tempting valentines. being taken from the boy the dog ap perfectly satisfied and gave the matter no further concern.

Frequently, a dog or a cat is the attachment, probably from the fact that those are the animals they are chiefly brought in contact with; but their devotedness to their mas- ters or attendants, and their gentleness to chil- dren have formed the ground work of a hun- dred tales. Youatt mentions many instances of attachment between horses and animals o other species, such as that of Duncannon, a well-known racer, fora sheep, which it would lift into the manger to share Its fodder; but would permit no one else to molest it in an way. Chillaby, another famous horse, whicl only one groom ever dared to approach, had also a favorite lamb that it loved and tended with paternal affection.

These two noble creatures drew the hay out of the rack, chewed‘ it, and put it intact before the old horse, and did the same with the oats, which he was then able to eat. ro~ his Youatt. it is presumed, is the authority for an account of the way in which a colt repaid the kindness and care of a farmer's boy who fed it.

Ward, the eminent geolo- gist and naturalist of Rochester, gives the fol- lowing account of the white elephants of the King of Siam: King’s palace without going to see his famous white elephants, of which he now possesses five. They are in a long block of buildings at the rear ofthe arsenal. Here each elephant has an entire distinct with the sleeping apartments of its score of grooms and feeders in one end. The stable isa large, high hal at one end a small seated Buddha image, with little lamps burning in front. The great beast stands on a handsomely built pedestal, raised about afoot from the floor, with its top just large enough to hold him. “Of course did not leave the stable appointed to its use , with plain floor and walls and On one side of this near the front and rea high, stout posts, gilded and otherwise gaudily or. nate. To these the royal eaptive is chained with velvet-colored ropes by one fore and one hind leg. He stands proudly, yet restlessly, on his contracted throne, and lashes his trunk and sways his heavy head and tusks around in an imperious, lordly manner, trumpeting now and then until the whole hall trembles with the deafening reverberation. His keepers are very attentive, and constantly deal oat to him dainty moutnfuls of bananas, poceenes short sticks of sugar-cane, and little bundles of eweet, fresh grass from a huge pile of these which is heaped near by. Every one of his wants is as- siduously attended to; when-heisseen to itch in any part of his body his royal hide is promptly seratched with a small iron rake-like instru- ment with a long handle; his eyes are reverently wiped, and he has @ cool sponge bath every hour or two of day and night during the hot season.

From the N. ¥, Tribune. “Has the prejudice which formerly existed against the use of musical instruments in eburches entirely disappeared ?” asked a Tribune Teporter of a leading builder of pipe organs re- cently. : “It has, I think, with the exception of one de- nomination,” was the reply. “The Roman Cath- olic churches have always Used them more or less; then the Protestant Espiscopal. the Presby- terian and other denominations followed in this order. It has occasionally happened that three or four wealthy members weuld buy an organ and place it in their church. The conscientious scruples of some church members were recon- ciled in this way to its use, as they were not called upon for contributions. Some churches would consent to the use of an organ only on condition that it should be played softly. This for a time would be complied with, but the sub- dued strains becoming monotonous the organists geueraily, as Will Carleton says, ‘bade farewell to every bodily fear, and boldly wadedin.” Several years ao a Presbyterian minister inthis city deciared that if an organ were placed in his church he would resign. But he was pensioned off and the organ was purchased. The members of the Uniied Presbyterian Church—commonly known as the ‘ Psalm Singers’—are now in the midst of a controversy regarding the repeal of their law prohibiting the use of instruments in their worship. . This law is based on the ground that there is no authority in the New Testament for their use. Those who favor music assert that the Pealms exhorted the Children of israel to use instruments. They also say that the modern style of music in worship would be more apt to retain in the church the young people who are now inclined to join other denomina- tions.” “Ts the pipe-organ an"ancient invention?” was asked. “*O, yes; in a crude form it existed before the Christian era, and one of the coins of Nero had. on it a representation of an organ of that day. In the early instruments. there were only eight or ten keys, which were from three to five and @ half inches wide, and were manipulated by striking them with the fist. From the manner of this playing, the’ organists were then called organ-beaters. The methods of furnishing the wind were also very impertect. A German church in this city has an old-fashioned imported organ, which is supplied with wind from an air-tank with a tightly fitting lid, working up and down with weights attached. It is pulled up each time by aman who climbs a ladder. puts his toot in axtirrup and slides down. Like everything else, the greatest improvements in organs have been made in the last twenty-five years. We have just placed one in the First Baptist Church of Brooklyn, which is built on an entirely new principle. The instrument is in the usual place behind the pulpit, but the key board is down in the body oft the church about sixty-five feet from the organ, and is connected with the pipes by pneumatic tubes. It has the nnusual addition of a snare drum. It is operated by a pneumatic engine, under control of a pedal at the organ- ist’s feet.” “Ts water used much as.a. motor ?” “Yes; the use of water for that purpose is prohibited in this city, but it is extensively em- ployed in other large cities.” “Ts your business altogether with churches ?” “Very nearly so; still, we are now building a $15,000 organ for a private house in Fifth-ave., and another one to cost $7,500 for a gentleman at City Island.” “Do you contract bad debts often ?” “No ; although we sometimes have to wait a long time for our pay. The complaints we so often hear of inconsistencies of individual church members cannot, as a rule, be made against churches as corporations. Previous to the panic of 1873 the Methodist denomination alone built, on an average, 700 churchesa year. The ratio of pipe-organs in their buildings is one to eight, most of them using small reed organs.” “* How long does it take to build an ordinary organ ?” “About three months to finish allowing the woods time t6 seaso Lichens, Prof. Rothrock in Our Continent. No department of botany has received less at tention in this country than the lichens; prob- ably none would show more unexpected sur- prises than they to an earnest student. Of all our vegetable growths none are slower than they; and except in rare instances none with less external beauty to attract attention. Yet they are everywhere present where air and water nourish, and earth, trees or rocks furnish aresting-place. Higher tpecies of plants show a marked pay to confine themselves to par- ticular portions of the globe; these, on the other hand, range over wide areas. I have taken one of the least obtrusive of them from the bark of the trees growing on a lawn in Westchester. 1 found the same species more than three hundred feet up in the air, defying the elements as it grew and te ate on the time-worn spire of he Strasbourg Cathedral in Southern Germany. Within the year, the same species was sent to me growing ona human bone that lay uncovered upon the bleak shores of the Arctic in the most northern part of Alaska. Surely organisms so widely diffused, gifted with powers of resistance to guch extremes of climate, must have important uses in the gen- eral economy of the globe. Toss their spores out upon the rough surface of a sandstone rock, but give them sunshine and shower and storms too, and they will find a crevice in which to start on a long enduring growth; trample them under foot, and the very act of crushing will free the individual cells and invite each to an independ- ent vitality. If they subserved no other ends er might at least show what the possibilities of are, and so encourage thoughful ones to nobler purposes and sublimer deeds. They have, however, other functions. They act as adjutants to fire, water and frost, aiding them in prepar- ing the once naked rocky surfaces for the sup- port of higher forms of plant life, and them- selves forming by their growth and death the first soil on which subsequent and more striking types may flourish. Furnishing food to man and beast, they ren- der regions otherwise absolutely inhospitable and under the domain of winter capable of sup- porting a hardy population.
