Axe comes to some people only like the wider opening of the rose, the gentle drooping of the creamy outer petal; and one must needs think of this in looking at Mrs. Fernalde. “1 have had my threescore and ten,” she used to say. “I have had all that nature has to give, and now I am living on grace.” It was'a sunny spirit that intormed her, a lightsomeness that never let the substance of atear penetrate beneath the sur- face that could endure nothing but happiness. Her untailin good nature was likea fairy wand that smoothed every trouble out of her way and out of the way of every one about her.

But Mr. Fernalde was ina brown study for a little; and I let him stay. “It was strange a should have asked me’ that question, child,” he said at length. “I used, at your time of life, to imagine a yery different old age from this, if I may so call that imagination, for, in fact, old age never entered ny calculations. I imagined nothing about we of tine, only ot the continuance of dition.

When the apples are in blossom, that pink and white snow. that ineffable delicacy of perfume, calls her before me like a revelation! There are times when this eternal smoothness of things in my life palis on me—times when I cannot bear the sound of evening bells coming across the water. It so renews for me that evening— that evening when I lost her—when I lost her if 1 found Rosalie!” “You lest her, then?” I said, to break the si- ed. lence that followed. “I will tell you. The two were inseparable. It I “walked or rode - or sailed with one, the other was not far away. Rosalie was a little tormenting sprite; Alicia a pensive saint Tt was Alicia's home; her father was a man of wealth, and kosa- lie was visiting her. Rosalie had no home, no fortune; she had just finished school and was to be a governess, dreading it as a butterfly might dread being broken to harness, dreading {t all the more for this glimpse of luxurious lite in her friend’s home since school. I myself had a fortune in my own right, and had been guilty of the follies of most of the jeunesse doree of that period, which, ifcomparatively innocent, were troublesome enough to the authorities ‘of my college to need discipline, and I was peeing a year of most unhappy rustication in the place adjoining Alicia's home. Never shall I forget the first moment in which I saw Alicia running down one of the orchard aisles with her white garments fluttering about her, and her fair head bent over the branch of apple blossoins in her hand. If lightning had fallen, the revolution that selzed me could not have come more quickly. I seemed to bechanged in a twink: ling, to have been born into another planet. I felt as it sunshine had pierced and penetrated once impenetrable gloom. When I fell asleep in the grass of that orchard, and woke that heavenly creature bending over me, I rose only to walk on The little brown face of Rosa- carnations, with the glint and glance of its brown eyes, with sts flood of brown curls that had a touch of gold on them, with the glittering teeth of its beautifal laugh, was just over her shoulder, but I merely know I saw it by remembering it afterward. ‘She was only a shadow to me in those days; and as for me, I was only Alicia’s shadow ie She lived and moved in some exalted tomy A peered She does now. Her father wore the front of Jove; I could not say that he did not carry the thunders. I felt myself a mote in the broad beam of their sunshine, as though I were something hardly visibie in their large range of vision, as if it required an effort to make myself perceived by them. I hesitated to make the effort—I worshipped from afar. Whert’she spoke to me my heart beat so { had hardly voice to answer; when she touched my hand it thrilled me through and through. And Tasked no more. I thought of no more fer awhile than just to continue so forever; to see her from my window walking under the long aisles of the low-branched orchard, tike some medieval picture; to walk beside her some- times; now and then to venture reading from the same page with her: now and then to be her partner inthe dance. That Rosalie should be about with me, riding here, strolling there, walking to chureh, reading with the old pastor, In whose charge there was a fiction that I was, and so, in a way, studying with me—that was all a matter of commonplace; she was sweet. she was fresh, she was charming. Bnt what was all that when an angel was in the room? “One night I was on the gallery just outside drawing-room, looking in at the long win- singing. Ah, how delicious The cherubim and seraphim lly dosing, if I ever hear them, 0 sweetly, I wonder to whom inging now! Beside her, that night, was this scamp who had come to the place more tian once, a proud, commanding fel- low in his uedress uniform, a man whom her father plainly intended she should marry. I can see the scene now—the rich and dimly lighted room full of purple shadows, the air laden with the scent of flowers; Alicia in her white drapery, more mystical, more beautiful, more holy, as she sang, than If revealed in the glow of her beauty; outside the violet depihs of the sky, and the moon just faliing, like some great olden flower, low in the west; and as Alicia’s voice became silent, a choir of beli-tones coming far and fine and free across the water, likeectioes of her song in heaven. My heart swelled with a fullness of rapture; life seemed too rich, too sweet, too sacred; and then I saw that man stoop and kiss her brow. Theaction turned me to stone fora moment, till he camesauntering to the window, and I knew no more what I was doing than that bronze Perseus in the corner would it he moved. I litted the hand that had seemed stone, and as he passed me I struck him on the mouth, the mouth that had done the profanation.” And Mr. Fernalde was quiet alittle while. “And that was the end of all things,” he re- 5 ie fellow laughed at me for a mad Her father launched one of the thunder- a aude me the house.

Andif my glad per- adventure were true, why then we could fly from these pl: that should know us no more; the world was before us, heayen’s gates were cpen tous. And I wrote, my hand trembling at its sacrilegious daring, just a dozen lines, with- out address, without signature. She would know what it meant. And I sent it by the par- son's boy. And I waited for her, Iving on the grass beneath the orchard trees, in the deep gloom just gilded by the influence of the unseen moon. There came the rustling of garments, the tripping of a foot; my heart beat,. my eyes grew dim. Was itshe coming up behind me, as I lay lifted on my elbow, kneeling and putting her arms about me, raining swift kisses on my face?— wild, sweet kisses in that shadow; wild, passion- ate whispers in that silence! And then a great pang smote me, and I rose and went out with her into the less dim darkness—and it was Rosa- lie. “She never knew.” said Mr. Fernalde, “she does not know to-day that I died that night. I can't say how I lived through those moments even. hey were but moments she had stolen away, She had to return at once. We parted at the foot of the mock-orange walk, and I went to my bed and lay there in a trance of despair. Perhaps sunlight brought some relief. The par- son told at the breakfast table the news that Alicia was betrothed to the army officer I had seen over the hedge. I wrote a word, saying I was called away, and I was gone a week or more. But inthat blank I must have something to love me—to have an interest in. Better Rosalie than the absolute negation of those days. Shethought nothing of my absence atter my return. She was as full of romance as a flowerof nectar. And, to sum it up, if she was not the rose, she had lived with the rose. One day we married, and here we are. A long life, a happy life,and I have never regretted the day in it that I made her my wife. Atter all, one cannot marry among the angels—clay must mate with clay. What do you say? Not love her, my child? You never were more mistaken. 1 love her tenderly, absorbingly. She is a perfect “vo- JInan—she has been a perfect wife. me calmly and completely happy. If once in a while the old hope, the old dream of a passion arises and sweeps before me in its bloom and light, it is because it means youth to me—that youth which we do not know till we are old—is itself the ideal that it holds up for worship. Yet perfect as my wife is, fifty years of this smooth life with her wear something of the commonplace, andif across their dead level of same content sometimes gleams the shining of Alicia’s face, itis not in any dish ity to her. I often wonder what became of the lovely creature. Once Icould not have spoken of her. At seldom times, when I sit alone by the fire, she comes and sits beside me, and gleams of light and shadow make a face with her sweet- ness, her beauty. her pensive and etherial grace. Dear girll I suppose she sleeps in her grave by this, but she is a shaft of the light of heaven in my memory!” And Mr. Fernalde rose, walking to the win- dow, just as the screen began to tremble, and a smothered cough, and then an undisgui: one, betrayed to me, if not to him, that Mrs. Fer- nalde had heard the chief part of the mono- losue. nd Thad heard it in fragments and sec- tions more than once before,” she afterward told me, with her pleasant smile. “I know it means nothing—that he is just as whelly mine as 1 am his—that our love is the impe: sort—that we are welded into one by fifty together. And peek it was ignoble of me to break the pretty bubble, to take away his little ideal, with which he has found couitart when- ever I would have my own way too much. Yet 1 thought it was about time. But she said nothing ofthis atall as she came bustling round the corner of the screen that morning. . There is such a gale blowing outside,” she said, ‘:that the dust really rises in the house fit to choke one.” “You haven't caught cold, Rosalie?” said her husband, turning in concern. ‘Not the least, but I shall ifthe hall-door is open another moment. There she comes now. Make haste, and bid Alicia good-bye, my love. She is just going.” Who?” he cried, suddenly opening his eyes like lamps in their deep settings. “-Alicia—Mrs. Talliafero—dear. She married again, you know. Oh. it has been a fine Jest,” she cried with her low laugh, ‘to think that you should not have recognized Alicia in all these weeks and months!” Mr. Fernalde was silent for « few moments, looking at the sweet little lady before him, with her color like the half-tarnished rose, with the soft brilliancy of her placid smile. Then he crossed over the hearth before me, and he took her hands and bent down and kissed her mouth. “My Rosalie,” said he, “will you not make my adieux to Mrs. Talliatero yourself! Tell her— tell her [have gone to the funeral of an old friend!” Heserve Power a Necessity. From the Herald of Health. It is not wise to work constantly up to the highest rate of which we are capable. If the engineer of the railroad were to keep the speed of his train up to the highest rate he could at- tain with his engine, it would soon be used up. If a horse is driven at the top of his speed for any length of time, he is ruined. It is well to try the power occasionally of a horse or engine by putting on all the motion they will bear, but not continuously. All machinists construct their machines so that there will be a reserve force. If the power required is four-horse,then they make a six-horse power. In this case it works easily and lasts long. A man who has strength enough to do twelve honest hours of. labor in twenty-four, and no more, should do but nine or ten houra’ work. The reserve power keeps the body in repair. It rounds out the trame to fall tions. It keeps the mind cheerful, hopeful, happy. ‘The person with no reserve force is always incapable of taking on any miore responsibility than he already has. A little exertion puts him out of breath. He cannot increase his work for an hour without danger of explosion. Such are generally pale, dyspeptic, bloodless, nervous, uritable, despondent, gloomy.

Such s course woul” ave many a person from physical beac he has made | Altitude and Temperature. . Paradoxical as it thay seem, Dr. Woeikof, the Rassian meteorologist, has shown that during the passage of winter anticyclones or “cold waves” over a country the greatest cold occurs In plains and valleys, owing toa radiation of heat from the soil, while ‘‘a very high tempera- ture and low humidity” dueto descending alr currents, are generally experienced on isolated mountains. Within the area covered by the frosty anticyclone, observation shows that there exist descending currents. which for every de- scent of a thousand feet become about five de- grees warmer. During the passage of the large anticyclone over central Europe, December 20- 28, 1879, the temperature on the Puy de Dome (4813 feet above sea level) averaged 38.8 degrees and the humidity was high, while at Clermont, at the base of the mountain. and only 1275 feet above the sea, the temperature averaged 8.2 de- grees. The cold and dampness were then very great in the valleys. even the high valleys like the Engadine and Davos, but the air was rela- tively very warm and dry on the isolated moun- tain peaks. Itis clear that when the soil in winter becomes colder than the alr far above it the superficial strata of air become cold by con- tact, and descending currents from great heights are eet in motion, bringing a comparatively high temperature to elevated situations, as has been observed on the Righi and other moun- tain tops. This law of the distribution of heat in moun- tainous countries during the transit of the great, winter ‘‘cold waves” makes the selection of building sites on the sides of isolated eminences rather than in valleysadvisable. If understood, it would perhaps correct the views ofmany phy- sicians who send their patients to the winter health resorts in depressed valleys, where the intense cold. with high degree of humidity, must often be too great a tax on invalids. It is possible to get pulmonary patients into places too high for safety; but the value of rarefled air to such invalids is yet but partly appreciated. The mountain air, besides stimulating the forces of nutrition, is known to be efficacious in strengthening the respiratory organs, and, as Dr. Yeo has recently pointed out, it is relatively richer in active oxygen than the ait ofthe piaing, calls into full play all the healthy portions of the lungs, and secures a more complete aeration of the blood. ‘Trustiulncss.

Henry Parvins, in Louisville Commercial. Forty-four years ago I saw the Gray Eagle and Wagner race, undoubtedly the most exciting contest ever runinthe world. Every state in the Union was represented. There were no railroads or other transportation accommoda- tions in thoee days, but people flocked from everywhere, and the attendance on thgt day numbered easily 13,000. Kentucky was repre- sented by thegreat Gray Eagle and Virginia by Wagner. From the first it was evident that Gray Eagle or Wagner would win the race. They took the lead. and asthey rounded into the quarter stretch Gray Eagle led the way by an open length, Both Jockeys plied the whip vigorously. Wagner gradually closed the gap and landed at the stand half a length ahead of the great Kentucky steed. The stakes were $30,000, and in addition to this, Campbell, the owner of Wagner, told me that he had won more than $13,000 on side bets. In those days pool selling or a regulated system of betting was unknown. An instance which tended to increase the ex- citement of the day wasthe death of a man nameé Peck. He wasa Kentuckian, and had bet every cent he possessed, amounting, I be- lieve, to $15,000, on Gray Eagle. He stationed himself near the spot which marked the finish, and when he saw that hehad lost he dropped dead on the spot: I have witnessed every event of importance in the way of racing since that memorable day, and have never seen, nor do Texpect to see, a contest so exciting or fullof general interest.
