With corresponding care and tenderness of touch. Mrs. Moses smoothed out the crumpled bit of paper which the economical store-keeper had prudently utilized, and held it np to the light with a thrill of pleasure at the novelty of the situation, and the prospect of an unexpected and unusual, if somewhat slender feast. For Mrs, Moses had not set eyes on a newspaper in many aday. Moses could not afford to indulge in any such extravagance as subscribing for an article so superfluous and unprofitable as a newspaper. Certainly not, most unreasonable, unsatisfied woman! A poor workingman with a famiiy to provide for, and times 60 hard! Moses waxed eloquent over a de- mand so clearly outrageous. But, with the curious consistency of the male animal of the Moses Miles type, he continued weekly to buy, with the utmost cheerfulness, divers ill-smetling parcels with the biackish-brown contents afore- ween his lips, and sitting down benignly in the cloud of. unholy incense which he nightly kindled, as though smoking his wife and children were a religious duty that the conscience in him would not suffer him to neglect. If they did not appreciate the bless- ing, or sighed unreasonably for other enjoy- ments, it simply proved to his comprehensive mind the selfish and irrational quality of their natures, and he paffed serenely on. So it was that, in a land of intellectual plenty, Mrs. Moses seized with greedy hunger on this bit of mental rubbish which had drifted in her way, devouring it with a relish not easily con- ceived by those whose cultured taste demand finer satisfactions. It was a story of refined, cultivated life, (the opening paragraphs profane- ly torn off, it is trae, but all the more piquant, mysterious and charming for that), with glowing pictures of home comforts and pleasures, with thrilling glimpses of lovers’ pains and blisses that softened the poor woman's eyes and quick— ened the blood whose currents the hard, dreary actutalities of her experience had curdled at her heart,—for “all mankind love a iover,” says ‘on. and the sorest driven soul has an in- terest in his fate. Ah, the dismal contrast be- tween the {ideal life of the story and the bare common places of her lot of poverty and toil! And yet in her maiden dres ad she not pic tured a life as fair, a companionship as sweet, gracious, tender and ennobli ever was por- trayed in the pages of romance? Was this st stupid man, with every faculty motnent in fhe coarse enjoyment of a i selfish pleasure, the realization of her girlish Was he the fulfillment even of the prom- is youth, and of the goiden when, all in his Sunday best, with the smirk of the rly aspira~ tion of her youthful dream utiful womanhood? Alas, no! Alas, no!

Special Dispatch to the Tues. New Yore, April 5—In the hearing to-day in the case of Madame Manzocchi against Pattl, the old book In which Signor Manzocch! kept ‘Bia accounts with his pupils was offered in evi- dence. The book is writtea in French, Ttatlan, and Spanish. In the course of her cross-examt- Bation M: ber husband Mvirid in 1833, the social body, but who, tuking just as easily the impression ot lower conditions and more ignobie surroundings,sink into mere nonentities, and drag through life with a miserable, de- Jected, discouraged sense of everything gone ‘wrong, and of the utter uselessness of struzzle, hope and ambition. With existence merged absolutely tn that ofa make-shift man, with no aims or desires beyond a state of simple animat wants and pleasures, It dida’t appear to Mrs. Moses that there was any use In striving with fate, or In trying to assert the claims of her more aspiring nature; and she had slouched along the thriftless, shiftiess ways her lord had led, outwardly submissive, bnt with inward dis- content, and sour, sullen dissatisfaction, The impression of these things was vaguely felt on this evening while she sat reading and regarding the fragment of paper by the light ot the small kerosene lamp turned low to lessen the cost of illumination. The inflnence of tne wonderful story was working mysterionsly on her deadened brain, and she sat nt and ab- forded tn the cloud of refiections which this current from the outside world bad blown op, heeding nothing abont her until Moses, with a loud yawn, stood up, knocked the ashes from his pipe, and laying it with tender care on the! sheif, told her she had “better go to bed, tor wood Is gettin’ skurse, Sary, an’ we can’t afford to burn it out a settin up for nothiu’ these hard times.” Whereupon, sulting the action to the word, he flung off his coat, unbuttoned his vest, cast it on his chatr, and, loosening his suspenders as he went, turned Into the little S by 10 room at hand and tumbled himself down to the sleep of the soul content with ite hn . Mrs. Moses locked after him with an expression that was not of hate, nor, most certainly, of love. It had not the intensity of either sentiment, It was «imply and purely diszust, which the man was too happily constituted to fee Then a wild light flashed in her eyes, and, with the movement of @ wild animal, she bent her head and left the imprint ot her hard teeth deep on either hand. It was the action of in- sanity, but {t brouzht a kind of relief to the overwrought mind, qnickened and cleared the processes of her thought, and revealed to her sight the brink of doom on which she stood. ‘Should she let this wave of maduess gather force and sweep her out to @ sea afloat with the wrecks of misbegotten lives? Was there noth- ing but meek submission to, or insane revolt from the unsatisfying, utterly hopeless routine of life marked out by the man into whose hands she had ignorantly given the reins? Must she go on to the corey end in this slack, shiftless, slip-shod fashion, leaving to the children she had borne, and to those she yet unwillingly must bear, the heritage of incompetence, inertia and nameless discontent P She rose to her feet, and with head clasped tightly between her hands, looked about her with strange, vacant eyes as though seexing Bob, an’ a sassy rheumatiz John, an’ a = mighty glad when de sun *3 done Miekles him down ter de bottom Ob his r bigh-head Ceph, fadame Manzocchi Incidentally said that told her that Patii was born in despairingly a ray of light, a loop-hole of es. cape. Ah—If out of the hopeless void @ shin- ing hand would miraculously reach to lead! Overborne by the intensity of her desire she sank on her knees and all her soul uttered it- self in longing, passionate, worldless cry which God, who knows the need of souls so sorely Pressed, conld best Interpret. Never had the | dull, sullen calms of her life been so shaken | up, bringing her face to face with her | own spirit in the presence of the eter- nal. It ls good to come to such supreme moments, by whatever wave we are borne, and the simple story which, in this instance, owed its power of Impression to the state of the reader, served an end that, very likely, was far from the thorght of the absent author to whose ear so seldom comesa note trom the heart-string touched, that the words dropping from his pen seem falligg aimlessly, hopelessly into @ soundtess abyss. It 1s true the long, blank, desert stretches of ordinary life, with its Tound of eating and sleeping and petty striving and tread-mill stepping, will catch the soul again in smothering tuils, and all will go on in the same dull routine as if one had not risen for an instant into the iimitiess region of infirmity, and felt the tender, pityiug, promising touch of God. Nevertheless, euch experiences may merk the starting poiat of growth in splritual lite, and serve as mnile-stones on the way we walk with men faltering and wide straying toward angel- jom. Thinking of it afterward, Mrs. Moses could not tell how long she knelt in that wordless, yet elegant prayer in which all her needsseemed to utter themselves in speech clearer than her tongue had ver learned. She could only re- call the sound which, louder than the volce of trumpet to her heart, brought her to swift sense of pressing duty at hand; and pane with feet toat needed now no spurt, to the little room where her children slept, she lifted In her arms the suffering babe whose thick, husky cry and laboring breath gave warning of the proach of a danger she had often warded of “Th the dead watches of the night, when only the angels of affliction had witnessed her fear and trembling and shared her devoted vigils. fire had died completely out in the dark friendly little stove, and the alr of the room Was cheerless and ebilling; but with haste the aroused mother applied sach simple remedies as she had on occasions of similar trouble, and wrapping her tin: tient up as warmly as ms cvaid. prowsede to Kindle a fire which the meager means at command would have rendered a nearly hopeless task had not the child's renewed agony of itself cut short her efforts. The symptoms of the little sufferer were growing alarmingly worse every instant, and thoroughly alarmed, the poor woman with the gasping creature huddled closely to her bose nureiell into the adjoining bed-room to ronse her sleeping husband. That worthy re- sponded to her first tremulous scared call with 8 prolonged snore. “Moses, wake up; wake up and help me do something for the baby,” she , urging her demand with a shake ot the shoulder. “Ah—h? Oh—h! Um—me," groaned Moses, turning over and snoring more voclferously than ever. “Moses, do wake np! Oh, Moses! Oh dear!” alr ehrleked the yr mother, every nerve » scked and strained by increasing manifesta- dons of danger. “Eh! What say? Which? Call me—Sary? What—a-h-h—what —the matter?” mumbled the disturbed sleeper, turning over again. “Moses! don’t you hear? Baby has got an- other spell of croup, and you must get up and go for the doctor, or ‘it yh dear!” pleaded the woman in a voice that might have roused the dead. “Eh? Yes, yes!” acquiesed Moses, rousing to a drowsy sense of the situation. “Baby got croup agin? Give um goose ofl—goose oil, Sary—Ah-h! hum—me! Shouldn't a woke me go sudden. Any need of me gittin’ up la they? Don't be seart, Sary. No use. Dear me—Any- thing I could do?” “Yes? yes! Oh, Moses, get up—Make a fire— get a doctor! Oh, do something!” So persistently and wildly Importuned, the poor man, with an Injured alr, pulled himself Telnctanitly out of bed and slowly drew on his pantaloons, suggesting this expedient and that for the relief of the suffocating child, whose condition was growing more critical with every breath, strapping himself up with unusual care and precision while he mildly remonstrated against the unreasonable fears of his distracted ou oughter take things more composed, Sary,” he urged philosophically. “It don't do no good to get in such a flurry. Dear suz!—but the child does make a drefful to do. Did ye say ye wanted a doctor, Sary?” “Moses,” spoke the woman witha desperate earnestness that began at last to impress her spouse with a sense of his responsibility, “If we don't get help very soon the baby will die here in my arms.” And aglance at the pinched purple face, car- Tying a conyiction of this truth to the father's heart, spurred his sluggish movements and staying only to suggest a dozen expedients—so maddening whep one has already proved their utter futility—he stumbled out of the Louse in quest of medical aid. Left alone with her suffering charge, astrange peace stole over the spirit of Mrs. Moses. There was no longer anystruggle. An easeful change, whose meaning she telt she knew too well, was creeping shadow-like upon the little victim, ex- hausted by her brief but terrible grapple with the disease springing like a wild beast on her trusting innocent sleep. The child's large up- turned eyes were fixed on the mother-face with a look in them strange and far away, whose sig- niflcance the mother-heart could only guess with athrill ofawe. And as if she had a feeling that this was the last hour of conscious communion between her and the babe whose coming had not made her glad, and whom she had pitied more than loved, Mrs. Moses drew the relaxing form closer to her bosom, and looking Into the wide wondering eyes, prayed silent forgiveness of the blighted little soul to whom she had unwillingly granted life, denying what she had not to give—the gracious ante- natal influences that make existence wholesome, strong and sweet. Would ali the ages of eter- ity make up to the poor defrauded one the good she missed as her birthright? Mrs. Moses dared not think, must trust, to the al: to make that good which we haye ma 4—to make that straight which we have made crooked. Remor: id never undo the wrong that was done; it ht only harrow the soul and it its soil for seed of a better harvest. ot thinking all this clearly, fecling it only yaguely Moses, sitting With gaze fixed upon the baby’s gray, pained face, grew slowly conscious of alight like that of the rising sun streaming In upon her; yet, strangely unlike the it of this world, it did not bring out the more vividly the barren dreariness of her sur- roundings, but seemed rather to shine through them and make the place wide and fair with its own transcendant glory. A kind of halo seemed gathering about tie head lying still and heavy on her heart, and, as ina dream, shesaw the benign, shining faces of angels hovering over the babe, felt the soft, fragrant air from their sweeping flngers as with soft mesmeric touches, more tender than a mother's, they drew the fainting spirit to their close, loving care. How long she sat under this mysterious tran- quiliaing epell she did not know, nor could she have believed that alone and unshaken by any storm of grief she had witnessed the death of her child. Yet, so beautiful and calm might seem always the change that silences the life of our dear one, could we divest tt of the terrora which we are accustomed to regard it, and meet the event when it comes with a serenity that would permit the infiuences of the sacred hour to penetrate with light and healing to our souls. ‘The tread of hurrying feet outs{de dispelled the heavenly vision of Mrs. Moses, and with a touch like a benediction the gracious angel, holding the sleeping babe in her bosom, floated and taded from sight—fleated and faded, floated and faded—until, in the dreury, hopeless days that followed, she questioned, with the faithless- of human hearta, whether it were indeed a y or only the illd8fon of an excited brain. “80, Sary, I've fetched the doctor,” sald Moses, stumbling, “an’ I e’pose the baby’s bet- she?” ." sald Mrs. Moses, very softly, never ng her head. pected so," complained the martyred man, with a sense of Injury that, after all, his cold night errand had been in vain. * You hter be more considerate, Sary.” id with this mild reproof he turned to dis- migs the doctor who was Just rising from a sur- vey of the child upon the mother’s knee. “ Asleep, hey” said Moses, with humorous nd wink. Yes,” sald the doctor gravely. ‘She will e waken, Moses.” |, Ob. gracious goodness, doctor, she ain't dead!” burst forth the startled father, rushing forward and taking the limp, lifeless form in his arms. “Poor little Besslel Poor little baby!” And all the father's heart In him—and it was a soft, kindly heart In its way—broke out in passionate lament and self-reproach. “I can’t stand it, seems to me! Oh, Saryl!” And laying the unconsctous bit of clay on the mother's lap he walked up and down the room with groans and cries of distress quite pitiful, and in strange contrast to the stony calm of Mrs. Moses, who dropped no tear and uttered no sound of sorrow. “The most unteclin’ woman that ever Ived,” pronounced the sympathetic sisters whom the doctor had sent in to pay the accustomed offices of the living to the dead. ‘Poor, dear Mr. Miles, though, ho does take the affliction hard, an’ it’s quite touchin’ to hear him goin’ on over the sweet. pretty corpse.” Mrs. Moses had no need of the consolation so freely offered on occasions of this kind. She had No need to be told the child was “better off’— that Ithad “gone where wallin’ an’ weepin’ come no more.” She felt all this, sure enough, though she questioned, With the slow uncer- | tainty of a soul fecling blindly after the truth, if God had with purpose taken her baby from the life it had not learned to live, or whether her own Ignorance or neglect of law had not un- timely broken off the bud and sent it blighted into the nurturing care of Him who marks even the sparrow’s fall. It was such reilectlons—better say impres- | sions—which led the tried and chastened crea- ; ture in that solemn time to a steely resolution, which, for the sake of the children left, she bound her soul In solemn covenant to keep. It came out in words on the lovely evening after the burial when, with the two little girls safe in bed, she and Moses sat down, silent and sad, with aoanee sense of having been touched. by an unseen hand, of having been special signalled from the mysterious unknown aay into which an atom of their life had dropped as a@geaf that gives back no sound. earning for solace of a familiar and substan- tial sort, Moses stretched out his hand to take his cherished pipe. “Stop, Moses!" warned his wife, staying the action. “Don't stupity your thoughts to-night. T've got something to say to you,” He looked at her with a vague, troubled stare, but dropped the seeking hand. “D'ye re'lize, Moses, what a miserable, shift- less, gropin’, aimless life we're leadin'?” she questioned with an earnestness which sent an arrow of conviction through the armor of in- pmebiky in which he was intrenched like a snail. “I'm sure, Sary,” he whined with feeble sense of Injury, “I do the best I can, Sarg.” “No you don't Moses! The honest man’s soul in you knows better,” was the unflinching Tesponse. 4'We're just like two shirky, shiftless old horses gn a treadmill. Moses.

I've made up my mind, if we can't walk right upto the mark together without any sneakin’ and°shirkin’ out of the honest work we have the strength to do—if we can't take right hold, breve an’ bold, and make something out of ous an’ build up a home that’s something mote thal a place to crawi an’ burrow into for protection from cold an’ storm then I shall take the fittle girls, Moses, an’ start ‘out by myself where I sha’n't feel the dreadful drag, drag of your weight on my harness.” “Oh, Sary!" burst forth Moses, with looking piteously at the white,’ determined woman before him, ‘how can you be so cruel to say such things, and the poor little baby Just laid in the grave?” “It's the precious baby herself as prompts me to say what I do,” said the unyielding woman, her own eyes softening with tears. ‘When I looked my last on little Bessie’s sweet face, an’ thought of the miserable life of sloth and ignor- ance to which she would have been raised, I couldn't find it in my heart to be anything but glad that she has escaped it all; an’ then I felt what a burnin’ shame If is to bring children into the world under circumstances that makes it a matter of thanksgivin’ when they're took out of it, an’ I vowed 8 vow that, as I lived, I'd 80 change our habits an' stir up our pride an’ ambition aa to give us something more to look forward to an’ strive for than the mere gettin’, fram day to day, enough to satisfy hunger an’ cover nakedness. And I'm determined that the little ones left us shall have some chance in the world to make their lives pleasant an’ useful, so they avon't feel, when they come to years of un- derstandin’, like wishin’ they'd died with little Besste, an’ like cursin’ us for bringin’ theminto such a make-shift existence, An’ what I have to say to you ear fi Moses, is—ifyou're ready to take right hold with me an’ pull steady in the carryin’ out of these new plans, then we will Join hands in solemn pledge to do onr level best; but if you mean to stick to the old ways Till have to take the little girls, as I sald, an’ go away; for I will not live with you, Moses, and bear other children under the old condi- tions.” “Sary! I'm sure I'll do anything you say, Sary,” responded the startled Moses, stirred and thrilled through all his sluggish blood. “I'lido anything you say.” And with the thought to pledgethe new pur- pose, perhaps, he reached out his hand again for tite sacred pipe. “Then you'll begin by flinging that vile pipe away,and promising never to buy another ounce of tobacco,” said Mrs. Moses, taking firm ad- vantage of the situation and testing at the ten- derest point the man’s spirit of concession. “You—you wouldn't rob me, Sary, of all the comfort I have?” gasped Moses, and in the agi- tation of the thought the blackened clay elipped from his fingers and fell on the floor, “Put your foot on it,” commanded his wife in her new capacity of captain. And without Knowing for the life of him why he did it, Moses obeyed. “Now I shall have faith that you'll tread the bad habit under foot,” cried the too sanguine woman, with an absolute smile. “When you take hold of things with real live interest an’ purpose you won't think of any such comfort as that, Moses. It’s a comfort that’s stupefied you. for a long time. I've thought sometimes it’s worse than whisky, for that does kill a man outright, at last, but is ‘comfort’ of yours just goes on duliin’ an’ deadenin’ the senses till there's nothing but ‘a mass of selfishness left. Now, Moses, swear to me you'll never smoke again. Itll go hard with you at first, but Pl help you all I can, an’ never find a word of fault with you while you're strugglin’ to overcome the habit. Swear, Moses.” “1_1—Sary, I'd ruther not,” faltered the man, who knew better than she the vice-like grip of the insidious pleasure. “Swear, Moses,” insisted’ the wife as though the oath were the deed. Alas, mistaken woman! “IT try—I_ sweat Tl try,” compromised Moses, wiping the sweat from his face, and dropping nerveless in the chair trom which he had risen to take the obilgation. “Oh, God bless and help you!” breathed Mrs. Moses, and with an impulse of gratitude that quite bore her over the barrier of reserve and indifference which had grown up in their mar- ried lite, she kissed him on the forehead, blush- ing like agirl in the unfamiliar action, while Moses looked happily foolish. ‘And then they began laying plans for the fa- ture—a most unusual interest—promising them- selves to honest, earnest effort in the direction of making their home more pleasant and re- spectable, and in amending, so far asin them lay, the unfavorable conditions which Moses himself, from a momentarily elevated stand- point, could see had a most depressing influence on the tamily life. And in this hour of high resolve we may leave them, knowing well what taterminable chapters ofdiscouragements, strivings, and partial though not absolute failures—thank heayen—would have to be recorded if the story went on; yet strong In the faith that such hours are the golden points of life, raying out through lonely reaches of darkness toward the ultimate tri- iene certain to crown all sincere endeavor at apt. As for the story as it stands—if, in the weeks to come, it might be go distinguished as to form the fraction of a pound of waste paper honestly bought and paid for at current rates by any economical grocer and dry goods man, and, wrapped about a parcel of calico, or supposed indispensable package of saleratus,, it should fall into the tired hands of some disheartened Mrs. Moses, sitting drearily of gn evening with her smoking spouse vefore a lowSburning kitchen fire—I shall be satistled.—Springfield Republi- can. Modern Athenian Society. From a Letter in the Boston Advertiser, Gayety relgns supreme here, I never went to so many balls, sotreas, dinners and lunches In any one week before or experienced greater cordiality. You know that Professor Goodwin and his new wife, of Cambridye, are here, and thelr friends will be pleased to learn that they are the center of a delightful circle, In fact, Mra. Goodwin ts a little qneen in all branches of society, and her daily 5 o'clock teas are the re- sort of all that 1s swell in court or literary life. I met lovely Mrs. Felton, the wife of President Felton’s son. Her husband ts studying here. She has a beautiful baby and she asked me to call and see her. Forgetting for the moment that tt was not a museum or a tomb, I rather shocked her by asking if it would be open at 10 o'clock. g Thad a letter of Introduction to Mr. Schuyler, our minister, and he could not haye done more for me if he had been my father. At thelr ex- press request I oscillated between the Good- wins’ house and the American Legation for nearly allmy meals. Athens is a queer place. Every one, no matter how old, comes around and calls as soon.as one meets them; and then they immediately invite you toa meal. Even the English charge insisted on my coming to a kind of supper before one of the balls. I was taken to two balls by different people on short Rotice, and found a cordial welcome, quantities ofdiamonds, ugly women and splendid dresses. Everything {s entirely European, for the people of wealth and position are ‘foreign Greeks, who have made their fortunes abroad and who re- tufn to Athens for the winter. Many of them cannot even 8] Greek, but they have all got @ fever of patriotism, and want to do as much for their poor country as they can. The Queen Is a deer little body, a Russian. Once when I Was down on Palerum Beach (Athens’ Coney Teland) with the Schaylers, she came up and walked along with us. Later, at the court ball, besides mumbling a few words at the presenta- tion, Thad the pleasure of dancing in the same set with her in quadrille. ‘That court ball was memorable. Everybody appeared in uniforms, as there were few there besides officers, diplomats‘ and the ministry. Some 600 men on oneyside and 200 ladles on the other formed a lane for the Toyal party to come through. Then all formality was ended, and it went on like any other ball.
