a ‘TIPPING OVER AN IDOL. Mawthorne on Warcaret Fuller Ossoli. Iu Julian Hawthorne's life of his father, Nathanie! Hawthorne, just published. there are some severe criticisms on his contemporaries. Here isa sad depreciation of poor Margaret Puiler, and a terrible pulling down of Ossoli, ber husband: Thoush technically noble, he Is really of no rank whatever, the ¢! brother, v th title of marquis, Leing at this very time a work- lug brickiayer, and the sisters waiking the Streets witnout bonnets—that is, being of the Station of peasant girls. (Ossoli himself. ne says, ‘Was a servant. and had the care of the apart-j Mments of a friend of Hawthorne. He was a handsome man, but entirely ignorant even of his own language; scarcely able to read at all; des- | Utute of manners—in short, half an idiot, with- | out sny pretension to being a gentleman. He couid not possibly have had the least appre- ciation of Margaret, and the wonder is what | @ttractiva she found in this boor—this man Without the inteliectual spark—she that had | always shown such a cruel and bitter scorn | of intellectual deicienc: As from her! toward him, I cannot understand what feeling there could have been. * * * As from him toward her, I can understand as littie; for she had uot the charm of womanhood, but she was & person anxious to try ali things and fill up her experience jn all directions. She had a strong and coarse nature, which she had done her utmost to refine with Infinite pains; bat of course it could be only superficially changed. The solu- tion of the riddle lies in this direction, nor does one’s conscience revolt at the idea uf thus soly- Ing It (at least this is my own experience), Mar- jas not left in the hearts and minds of fice who knew her any deep witness of her in- tegrity and purity. She was a great humbug; of course with much talent, or else she could Rever have been so great a humbug: but she had stuck herselt full of borrowed qualities, which she chose to provide herself with, bat wach had no right in her. * © * Tragic as ler catastrophe was, Providence was, after all, Kind in putting her and her ¢lownish nusband and her child on board that fated shiv. There never was such a tragedy as her whole story, the sadder and sterner because so much of the ridiculous was mixed up with it, | and because she could bear anything bett than to be ridicuic Tt was such an ful Joke that she should have resolved. in all cerity, no doubt. to make herself the greatest. wisest, best woman of the age, and to that end she set to work on her strong, heavy, unpii- able, and, in many respects, defective and evil Rature, and adorned it with a mosaic of admir- able qualities. such as she chose to possess: ting in here a splendid talent, and there excellence, and polishing each separate piece and the whole together, till it seemed to shine afar and dazzle ali who saw it.

Murderous pep: Not content with angling for fish, the indolent whites and Indians on the Cattaraugus reserva- tion haye adopted the Nihilist method of de- stroying life, and are depopulating the waters of the Allegheny river by exploding dynamite cartridges in the deep portions where the fish | congregate. The dynainite is placed in a water- | tight tin bo: The fase is lighted. and then the | box is thrown into the river. The expiosion kills the fisb, which come to the surface and | float down stream to the ripples, where the are collected by the dynamiters, Frequent More thau a hundred fish are killed by the ex- Plosion of one cartridze. The varieties of fish which people the river are mainly pickerel, bass and suckers, The small fry share the fateof the larger ones. Fearing lest the law should interfere with their Operations, the whites have made cat’s-paws | of the Indians, believing the iatter enjoy im- munity from the general statutes, but this erroneous view will be di led by the action | of the Sportsmen's club, which has already Deguv proceedings which will result in the | arrest of both whites and Indians alike for vio- | lating the fish laws. Paecconsdadacn ‘The Danger in Our Flats, ‘From the Philadelphia Prowress. | There are flats in New York. Of course, but ; I mean the apartment houses, so-called. There are always many conundrums concerning these flats. New York has not yet quite accustomed | itself to them. One of the latest questions is, should a young man who has been out with a young lady who lives ina flat inthe evening, Teave her on the first floor when taking her home or escort her upstairs to her own door. This is a difficult problem. The custom of Paris, | where flats most do flourish, might be consid- | ered in this connection, but there is no Paris | custom in the premises. ’ In Paris young gentle- men do not take young ladies out in the even- fog. Were the elevator running when you arriye from the theater you might see the lady therein and return assured that she was safe | from all harm. But as the elevator never is running when most wanted, that expedient | fails. Leannot think that it would be exactly | proper for the young man to go ail the way up- | Stairs with the young lady. He must bid her goodnight downstairs. This seems a little un- lant, bat the proprieties must be observed. if ever a voung lady making her way home late at night, up long flizhts of flat stairs, is | attacked and robbed by some scoundrel who bas | been in ambush in a dark corner, then some ether policy will have to be adopted. Not Quite Smart Enough. ‘From Every Other Saturday. More than half a century ago, when gambling ‘Was more common and was considered more re- spectable than it is now, a Boston gentieman hap- | pening to be :n Portland, Me., sat down one eve- | ning with a citizen of that town who understood the handling of cards as well as any man in the country. They piayed long and deep, until the | Bostonian had lost all his money. He then be- gan to draw checks on the Suffolk Bank in Bos- | ton, until they amounted to 330.000. ‘The small party broke up, and the one who had given the | checks proposed to himself to stop their pay- | ment. There was at that time communication | with Boston only by stage coach, and he ar- | ranged for a relay of horses to take him to Boston before the next mail could reach there. He arrived at the bank afew minutes before it elosed, and found. to his astonish:sent und cha- | grin that the checks had all been drawn thirty | Minutes before. The citizen of Maine, being on | the alert, had started haif an hour betore his Satagonist. and had securely bagged the game. —— ee Why Is it So? ‘Some find work where some find rest, And so the weary world goes on; Tsometimes wonder which is best— The answer comes when life is gone. Some eyes sleep when some eyes wake, And so the dreary night hours go; Some hearts beat where some hearts break, J often wonder why ‘Us sa. Some hands foid where other hands Are lifted bravely In the strife; And so thro’ ages and thro’ lands ‘Move on the two extremes of life. Some feet halt where some feet tread, In tireless march, a thorny way; Some struggle on where some have fed; Some seek when others shun the tray. Some on while others keep ‘The vigils of the true and brave; ‘They will not rest ull roses creep. Around their name above a grave. Every Other Saturday. ——— ie John Taylor's Epitaph.

Cleve Stuart was the only son of Joan Stuart, a cotton planter of MississtppL In nis seventeenth year, Cleve embarked for St. Louts, with his parents, on the ill-fated steamer Lucy Lee, which perished by an explosion within sight of her landing. Among the lost was Cleve’s mother, and his father was so fatally injured that he died soon {ler nis removal to the Planter’s Hotel, having first made 9 wil! leaving all his property to Cleve, end appotn ing his old college chum, Judge Barrn, of Sew Yori, executor of his will. ¥ nm the funeral was over, the returned to New York, taking Cleve with hia. The judge's wife received the youth very kindly, and irled to nuke him happy. But fora long Ume nothing could rouse him trom the deep sorrow of his terribie Dereavement. One thing, however, interested kim, through sympathy. ‘There Was about the premis es a little dark-eyed dark-haired ehfid of about five years old, who seemed to belong to nobody, and went about the house “like a tame kitten.” She seemed to have divined the cause of Cleve Stnart’s gloom. She would stand before him, with her siaail hands folded demurely on her bosom, nd her dark eyes fixed solemuly on his face, so eften, that at last one afternoon Cleve called out: ‘ome here, baby.” She come aed a He took her upon bis knees, and inquired: your name?” at | “Palma,” she replied. “Who is your mother?” ¥ mozer Js an ainzel In Heaven,” Poor littie girl! Where is your father?” nozer, him too,” replied the ebild, without her grave, dark eyes from the face of the youth. “Why do you look at me so, Palma?” “Tause Ize so sorry for 00.” “oh! You know, then, that I, too, have lost both my dear parents?” began the youth; but his voice failed, and his eyes filled with tears, ag he pressed the Little one close to his breast. “Don't cwy. Tlove oo,” she said, taking a tiny handkerchief out of « tinier pocket and beginning to wipe his eyes. “if you love me, baby, you are the orly one in the world that does,” he sald, and bent. his head and kissed the little, dark, upturned face. ‘Tyen suddenly, with a Boy’s scorn of “sentimen- "he put the child off his knees, and went out of the house. AS son as he got achance, Cleve asked Mrs. Barrn who Palma was. The old I 3 . She ts the child of a runa- Way match. Her father was the youngest son ot a North of England Squire, and an officer in the Hussars. He felt in love with a beautiful house- maid, and married her, was cast off by his family, and ostracised by the officers of his regiment. He Was obliged to sell out and come with his wife to this country, where they lived on the price of his commission as long as the money lasted, and then went down, down, till finally they ali fell sick of the typhoid fever. “The father died first; then the mother. The ehild recovered, as you see. The poor woman bad told me her story. After she had passed away, I wrote to Squire Hay, ot Haymore, England, abd announced the death’ of his son and daughter-in- law, and described the destitute condition of his randchild. In the meantime I brought the girl home here to await events I also brought away the papers relating to the marriage of the parents, and the birth and baptism of the child. In about a month I got aletter trom Squire Hay, In which be declared, in 0 many words, that he would -have “nothing to do with the house-mald’s brat.’ ‘So here she has remained ever since. I do not know what we shall do with her: but there is time 0 think about that, for she 1s only a baby,” d Mrs. Barrn. the youth took a compassionate interest in the child. “And as for her, she was In the language of the household “devoted to that “ars past. Cleve Stuart was prepared to enter college, and Paima was a pupil in the nearest primary school. It was proposed that Cleve should enter Harvard as Soon as the vacation was over, but the young n changed his mind and decided to go to Ger- many and enter the University of Bonn. v he sailed for Europe, the child Palma ed herself into a fit of illness, from which she ly recovered in time to re-enter the primary School at its reopening. Cleve Stuart had intended to stay but four years abroad, but he stayed seven, and would have stayed longer, but that expected remittances did not arrive. At length, when his funds were growing alarmingly low, he made up his mind to return me, On his homeward voyage he met his fate in the form of Lamia Leegh, the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, and the first one whom he had ever loved. With the afr, manner, and costume of a wealthy Woman of fashion, she was simply an accomplished and well remunerated governess who was. travel- ing with a rich family, in charge of their girls. She | Was, besides, several years older than her lover, but he did not care for all that. To him she was a Princess, a goddess, and he lifted adoring and wor- shipping eyes to her beauty and divinity. By the time the steamer had half crossed the At lantic, Cleve Stuart and Lamia rh were en- gaged to be married and much of their lives planned out. They were to be united as soon as | conventent after reaching New York, and in the beginning of the new year go to the south and set- ie down on his beautiful plantation on the banks of the Mississippt. When the steamer reached New York, Lamia Leegh went with her employers to their Splendid mansion on Fifth Avenue, and Gleve Stuart went a hot Within a short time he learned the changes e | Wrought by the war. The emancipation and exodus had left his acres uncultivated for years, so that no revenue had come from them. ‘The remit- tances that nad been sent out to him during that time had been spared from bis late guardian’s own income, and hed only ceased when the old judge suddenly left this world to join bis wife, who had gone Just before him to the better land. He could get no news of Palma Hay, who, he re- membered, would, if she should live, be now | about sixteen years of age. It was a great shock suddenly to find himself re- duced to poverty. He had scarcely courage to 0 and tell his betrothed of thetr misfortune. He went, however, in afew days, and found her in her employer's house, as handsomely aressed and as luxuriously lodged asif she had been the princess she looked, He told her all, and then added: “I am not guite penniless. I have a few hundred dollars; and J mean to seek employment. Also, I shall study law. I think I should do well as a bar- Tister. And you, my queen, would be my great est inspiration to effort. Lamia, I love you 80 en- Ureiy! Have you the courage wo marry a rr | manz” he asked, or rather prayed, with ab tis soul in his eyes and tone. She hesitated long before she answerea, though he kept his eyes fixed upon her in silent h- ing. Then, at length she sald, in @ cool tone, with studied word “No, Cleve, Ihave not the courage to do the man I love so great a wrong. Neither you nor I We doth have re fined and fastidious tastes. We love ease, splen- dor and luxury. We must wait for fortune’ to be- Stow wealth before we can think of ” He looked at her tn pain and surprise. Her words and manner shocked and wounded him.
