BY SALLIE A, SMITH, Somebody rang the bell, and Kate, our servant, who was cleaning the paint in my room, looked out of the window and exclaimed: “‘There’s company come, Miss An- nie. ““Ah, is that so? Now I do wonder who it is, and we in the midst of spring cleaning!” I said, in an angry tone. “They are taking off the tranks,’ continued Kate, as she rushed from the »oom to answer another and more impatient ring. “Trunks!” I cried, and ran to the window. The carriage rolled away; I heard a soft, sweet voice in the hall asking if Miss Annie Forbes was at home, and as I was the personage inquired for, hastened to meet my vieitor, In the pleasant parlor, whero the golden sunbeams fell in a bright shower over the petite figure, sat Topas Tregarden, my friend and schoolmate, when we attended Madame Auray’s select school for youn, ladies. This was three years ago. was now twenty two, my parents were wealthy, and my brother Harry and myself were the only children. We lived a few miles from the city, in a fine old-fashioned mansion that “had been in our family for years. Brother Harry was a lawyer, not that he chose that profession for the love of it, but to please father, for he was a true artist and poet, and would spend hours in a picture gallery, dreaming over some fair face or some glowing landscape, while he neglected an im- portant case, or forgot his many clients who were waiting at his office for him. He was justthe nature to be enthralled hy the spirituality of the face of my guest, Topaz Tragarden was the eldest of a numerous family. Her folks were poor, living in a_small country town near Boston. Topaz was a music teacher; she was having a short vaca- tion and she thought she would spend the month with me. I wished brother Harry was a thousand miles off, but Toinz Was Now my‘nalt, and I must wake the best of i No human soul was ever enshrined in a fairer templo than was that of Topaz. She had a strange, quaint name, but it seemed suited to her; she was petite and graceful and bewitching, a fair, sun- shiny liitle thing, with a complexion of lilies and roses, eyes of dovelike softness, hair yellow as the gem she was named for, and falling in soft rings and curls over her white fore- head. ‘She had a seusuous, indolent nature; elegant clothes, rich jewels, soft colors, dainty food, servants, car- riages, etc., made up her ideas of a perfect life; she cared for nothing but self, never gave a thought toanything of a noble nature, and home ties or affections troubled her not at all, but with all her faults, with all herselfish- ness, there was a charm about her hard to resist, she was so fair, so radi- antly lovely. ‘‘You dazling girl, how glad I am to be with you once more,” called out Topaz, in a sweet, coaxing voice, as she stood on tiptoe to kiss me, for I was a head taller than my guest. I was a8 dark as she was fair, ‘‘Are you glad to see me, Annie? You ought to be, tor think how long a journey I have taken to see you, and I never yet have got a glimpse of that Adonis, your brother Harry, of whose beauty and accomplishments I have heard 8o much from his adoring sis- ter.,” Of course I said I was glad to see her; that was one of the fashiona- ble lies one is obliged to utter in po- lite society, but I was not glad to have this siren, this heartless, schem- ing, selfish beauty in the daily pres- ence, under the same roof with my noble-hearted brother, for ‘Ye, with his poetic nature, has passion for the beautiful, would surely fall a victim to the wiles of this enchantress, “How 1 do envy you,” sighed To- paz, as she raclined in a cosey arm- chair in the guest chamber, She reminded me of some rare flower, all ablaze with summer glory, she was so bright, so radiant, so dainty, and the ecarlet wrapper she had donned made her look o0 pic- turesque; never did easy-chair take a more lovely burden into its hospitable rest, “And why should you envy me so much?” “‘How can you ask, Annie? But of course you kuow nothing of poverty —you who have always had every luxury. Now at home I never have any fire in my room, and at night if I want to read, I have to go to bed, wrap myself in shawls, and with one poor lamp, am allowed until 10 o'clock to amuse myself—no longer, I never see chicken or turkey on the table more than twice a year—Christ- mas and Thanksgiving. 1 cannot af- ford a silk dress. You never in shop- ping are obliged to go to half a dozen different stores in order to get a thing | a fow cents cheaper, You need not laugh, for all of this is true and very hard to bear. My little salary I get by teaching music has most of it to go for house expenses. Oh dear! 1 do think the old saying is true: ‘It is hu:dv to be wicked, but worse to be oor." " ““Why don’t you marry some rich man?” 1 laughingly asked, ““That is what I mean to do, my dear, ", replied Topaz in a very cold manner. “No romance for me, no love; all T want is wealth, and that I will have, 1 know 1 am beautiful, and that beauty must bo the means of bringing me what 1 value more than anything else—a luxurious home and plenty of money." Such were the sentiments of the fair Topaz, and she so beautiful that fow could resist her witcheries. Brother Harry came home at dark, Tt was now the latter part of April, but the evenings were chilly, In the parlor a cheerful coal fire was burning in the open grate, looking liko a mass of glowing rubies piled wgaingt the bars. Laces of flame, mellowed by the rich crimson of the silken curtains, flickered and danced on the walls lighting up the paintings into almost life-like beauty; marble statues gleam- ed cold and white in their niches. The furniture of satin and ebony, the car- et g0 soft and glowing with blossoms almont as fair as those of naturc’s weaving, the gleaming mirrors, rich trifles of silver, of ivory and even gold, that wore seen in the vast apartment, all looked 80 elegant, so luxurious, I had seen them a thousand times be- fore; never until this evening, it seemed to me, had 1 looked upon my beautiful home and its surroundings with such fond affection, such proud satisfaction, and, knowing shat my guest enjoyed this elegance and luxu- ry, 1 felt gratified that all seemed so much like perfection, and I did sin- cerely wish that poor little Topaz might have all the right and rare arti- cles, all the magnificence she craved; but I lighted as I thought that all these luxuries, all this beauty, did not bring perfect happiness. Had it not, as Topaz truly remarked, ‘‘always had 1 every luxury,” with nowish ungrati- hed! Yes, one, for did I not love n poor man—a young physician, who was strurgling to gain a name and for- tunel My parents would not consent to my engagement to him; said T was too young, that there was plenty of time, ete. So Frank Allston had four years ago bidden me good-by and had gone to India, where a rich, old uncle —a bachelor—lived, and had sent him tojcome and see how he liked Caleutta; #aid would get him plenty of work to' do. And I had waited and hoped all theee dreary years. So Ihad my trou- bles as well as Topaz. When brother Harry entered the drawing voom, Topaz was seated on a lounge, and the soft light from the chandelier shone Ifke a mellow radi- ance over her. She looked like some rare flower, som . exquisite painting, or some ideal of an artist's dream — the loveliness of her golden hair and soft azure eyes, the rounded contour of form, her complexion, wherein bloomed roses and lilies side by side; then the modest dress of gray cloth, with the pretty lace on the white throat and dimpled wrists, while a knot of ribbon, blue as her eyes, re- lieved the plainness of her attire; but she Jooked as royally fair,as though she were a princess. And so thought Harry, as {le gazed with admiring glances at my guest, for a moment before he entered. All that evening he seemed chained to her side, and when callers came in, Harry had no eyes but for Topaz, although quite a number of fine-looking ladies were present, and when Topuz, upon being asked to sing, compliad very readliy, and sang, to a pretty accompaniment, a sweet little ballad in a clear, bird- like voice. Harry listened with ado- ration in every glance, and I felt that even now the spell of the enchantress was on him, and that the love that comes but once in a life-time would 800n possess him. The day passed rapidly. T always since I left school, had superintended the domestic affairs, and for two weeks afterthe arrival of Topaz, T had been busy, looking after the servants, as they cleaned and arranged the dif- ferent rooms and went through the usual routine of spring cleaning. “Do mot trouble yourself about me,” said Topaz, as she gayly flitted from 100m to room, like the pretty butterfly that she was, ‘‘You are the Martha of the household, and I pre- sume you enjoy making cake, pud- dings and jellies, or giving orders to Kate, Bridget and Joe, just as much as I like gathering flowers or having a moonlight flirtation with scme gay cavalier. I do not want you to make any excuses for being away from me every morning, Why, bless your heart! I have had a magnificent time; have not missed you. In fact, that handsome brother o. yours has given me very little chance to be lonely, for he has paid me every attention, to make up for your neglect,” and Topaz laughed merrily, and gazed with an admiring glance into a mirror that re- flected her fair image, thinking no doubt that she soon would number brother Harry among her many ador- ers, for in tho two weeks she had been at Thornley. her beauty had be’ come the theme of every tongue, orat least of all the gentlemen, and invita- tions from all quarters poured in upon us to attend parties, operas, afternoon teas, etc, At Mrs, Cary's there was to be a masquerade, the last dancing party of the season, and great prepa- rations were being made for the grand event. The Carys were the wealthiest family in Thornley, and their house a palace in all its rare ap- pointments. Topaz was wild with delight. She had never been to a masquerade, and was as excited over the event as a child over some new toy, The night of the party arrived, a fair, mild evening in April--no noon, but soft starlight, and i the air the perfume of coming buds and blossoms, I in- sisted upon Topaz's sharing my purse, for my monthly allowance was a very generons one, and my guest, after a little hesitation consented to help to spend my money, and I must confess, after once consenting, she did not scruple to help herself ‘most gener- ously. We had employed a dress- maker from the city to make up our costumes, and very lovely looked the fair Topaz as Undine, with sea-green draperies clinging about her, and lace, white and airy asthe foam of the sea, floating around her, her tawny hair drooping low, her white forehead crowned with water lilies, while on her exquisite neck and arms rested pearls, great Oriental pearls, a gift from Harry. 1 personated evening, and in my trailing robes of black, with dismond stars shining on my brow I knew that beside the bright beauly of my guest I was utterly eclipsed; but why need I care if no words of admiration were whispered in my ear! Theone I loved, the one whose praises were dear to me, was THE UmauA I)AIL)' BEE: SAT!]I}I)AY far away, and 1 cared very littlo for all the gay scenes I took part in, Harry, as s nobleman 1 thoe time of Queen Elizabeth, was perfect in his manly beauty, and as I gazed on his fine face and form, and saw a happy amile resting on his eountenance, | prayed that his life might be one of peaco; but my heart mingavo me when Undine camo in in her siren Loauty, and with his sweet, low voice, told Harry that she should depend upon his dancing often with her. “For you know, Harry,” said the onohantress, ‘“‘that T do not under: stand waltzing, and you who a perfect in everything, must teacher,” When I saw the light flash in my brothor's eyes, and noted that radiant 80 ba my alse girl, The Cary mansion, with its gorzeous salons blazing in the light of magnifi. cent chandeliers, was a scene of f like beauty, with i's rare paintin goms of autique work, elegant furai turo and vases of blooming flowers, while the crowds of elegantly dressed guests added anothor charm to the Eastern orgeousness of thescene “Oh! Annie, what do you think! there is a count, a roal live count here!” whisperod Topaz to mo, as | was resting for a moment atter dane- in, radiant, looked, as she was, the queen of beauty., 1o all the large gathering of fair muidens, she was the star of the evening. “I am to be introduced; see, thore heis talking with our hostess. 1 think he is very lordly looking. 1 wonder if I can charm him,” and the girl laughed hghtly. At ten supper was announced, and the maskers removed their masks. went to supper with Harcy, seemed uneasy, and frequently ed around as in search of some one. knew of what he was thinking and of whom he was looking. A musical laugh was heard, then the rustle of silken garments, and Topaz came into the supper-room Jeaning on the arm of the most dis. tinguished of the guests, Count IHe tor La Fontaine, a_ dark, sallow man, with black, restless lookir eyes that never glanced at estly, but drooped beneath your but he was faultless in his dress and manner, aud on his breast glittered many & jeweled order. Harry was pale and silent all sup- per tinme, und there was an angry glitter in his eyes as he watched To- paz, who, blushing and radiantly lovely, was bending her golden head low, and the whito lids drooped over her velvet eyes as the French count murmured many a horred compli- ment in the ear of the delighted girl Another month passed swiftly by. My guest was with me still. Harry had proposed and been Jaccepted, and now the dear fellow seemed perfectly happv, and while his tetrothed was at times cool and calm, and even icy in her manner, the infatuated man did not seem to notice the strange ways or indifference of the fair Topaz; but when at rare intervals the yellow- haired siren unbent and was gay and loving and bewitching ag she conld be in her bewildering beauty, then Harry fairly worshipped her. Count ILa Fontaine, since the night of the mas- qulllernde, had remained in Thornley at e hotel. Topaz met him when she went into society with the same co- quettish manner and bewitching ways that she did all her other adorers. In vain [iarry remonstrated with his fu- ture wife on her giddy conduct. “Let me enjoy myself in my own way,” was the girl's reply to his re- proaches; ‘‘soon a change will come, and I shall be wholly yours; until then I shall do as T please, and if you do not fancy my flirtations you know it is not yet to late to decline the honor of an alliance with the noble house of Tregarden.” So Harry submitted, for he was madly'in love, and could not bear to lose the beautiful siren, although he bogan to see how heartless his idol was, As the betrothed of the rich Mr. Forbes, Topnz, of course, could not return to her vocation of teaching mnsic, 8o she remained at Thornley, enjoying all the comforts and luxuries she loved so well. Harry loaded her with rich gifst,she had a small fortune in jewels, iaces, rich dresses, ete., and her beauty was something wonderful to look upon when she was arrayed in one of her many elegant outfits that now belonged to her. At length the wedding day arrived, bright and beautiful as summer. The leaves wore all the tints of the rain. bow; a bright blue sky, blue as the eyes of the bride, smiled upon the bridal, while the air was cool and in- vigorating, and all nature seemed in hormony with the festive scene, 1 had often wondered why Topaz, who had confessed to me her love of wealth, had not chosen the count in- stead of Harry, for althoush we had plenty of this world’s goods yet we were not noble, and could not boast of baronial castles, or all the untold splendors that belonged to haughty race of La Fontaine; and on this day that was to bring to Harry, as he thought, such porfoot happi- ness, the day that he could claim To- paz as all his own, and thinking in his fund infatuation tha’ when she was once married sho would give u her heartless, silly and coquettish ways—on this day, while dressed in her rich robes of eatin, with her am- ber hair crowned with orange blos- soms, Topaz confessed to me—me the sister of her future hurband, that she had no love for him—that all the heart she had was given to the French count. I was frozen with horror at the now late avowal, “Why did you not tell me this be- foref” T said, as, pale and cold as s statue, the false siren stood before me, “I dared not,” she replied; “but 1 thought Harry would ere this have grown tired of me, for I have re- pulsed him whenever he showed any tenderness toward me.” Heo ane for you?" T asked. “‘No, he has admired and compli- mented me, but has never honored me with a proposal of marriage, although his every look and act has shown thas he loves me. I am miserable, Annie, in spite of all the wealth I now enjoy, and am rightly punished.” ““1t is not too late,” I cried, while I felt sick and faint as I thought of my poor brother. “I will go to happiness that shone in his counto- nance at the praise bestowed upon him | by Topaz, 1 knew that my Harr heart was in the keeping of this fai and she standing near, flushed and | the | ! o o tog ’s duty, which i REFERENGES : ‘‘Has the count ever said he cared | ¢ Harry, and he will not wed an une willing and unloving bride,” 'No, no, Annie, 1 forbid you to, 1 may not have the man I care for; 1 will wed theone who loves me. I will do my best to make him happy, w0 do not darken his whole life by telling him of my folly and unhap- piness.” 8o 1, fool that I was, listen- ed and consented. Five yoars passed, T had become a happy wife and mother, for threo years had flown since my marriage with the lover of my youth, Frank { Allston. He had returned from In- | dia with fame and a fortune, and my | parents gave their willing consent to | our union In all these fivo years Harry and Topaz had remained abroad, aud the fair Amorican, as my eistor-in-law wis callod, was the star at every festival, the beauty at court and the idol of all the gay nobles into whose society she was thrown, Her promise to me on her wedding day she soon forgot, and Harry was mado miserable by her taunting him with her aversion and hate of him, and as each day passed she became more and more rockless, At longth at ono of the receptions of the French emperor and the Empress Bogenio, for Harry and Topaz wero now in the gay Parisian capitol, the false-hearted siren met Count La Fontaine, and now that she was the rich American’s wife, courted and admired, the aristo- cratic villain thought her more worthy of his notice than when ofily an hum- ble music teacher, and although Topaz found out to her astonishment that there was & Countess La Fontaine, aho again became infatuated with the a private party, she was missing, asalso the nobleman. Harry em vloyed detectives, and finally the tug- itives were traced to Switzerland; a duel was the result of the meeting be- tween the injured husband and the seducor, Harry, our noble, hand- some Harry, was shot, dying almost instantly, whilo La Foutaine lingered a fow years in misery, from a wound in the side, and finally died an ago- ni death, Topaa became an ad- venturess, living as beat she could, Her ultimatv fate I never learned it was a dark one. 1t was many years hefore the tragedy fled from our home.—Boston Sunday Budget. EDUCATIONAL NOTEHS. In one of tha exercises in gome of the Sowton high schools the pupils correct the Luglish of the newspapers, The Commercisl clab of Chicago pro- poses to entablish a nuanunl training sehool in that aty at a cost ot $100,000, The colored people of Richmond, Va., oridly demanding that teachers of m race should be placed in the hools. public Dr. Mayo says that no southern city has done o much of itself for its school children with so little aid trom abroad as has Charleston, At a teachers’ meeting recently held in Hartford it was suggested as a good plan for self-cultivation that teachers should devote an entire year to one study at a time—taking up sculpture one year and the nex¢ engraving, or chemistry or his- tory. A pamphlet has been sent ont hy the wedical department of the Detroit univer- sity, setting forth its facilities for grad. uating its “students,” to whom it prowmises diplumas of great beauty and utility, The Detroit newspapers suy that the president, named Thomas, is an old chum of Dr, Buchanan, the Philidelphia bogus di.loma convict, and that the concern isa fraud. Hearing recitations, Colopel Parker says, i8 not teahing, by any means, Teuching is the bringing of new ideas into the miud through objects, clasifying ideas, comparing them, and combining them into new creatures of the imagina. tion, All a teacher can do is to lead the child's d to act, to acquire knowl edge. Rote learning is simply incalcatin stupidity, both 1 pupil and’ teacher; Tt will be & happy day fer the public schools when all teachers are made to understand these plain truths, of the real te: by the unaut! ot private tutor zed and outside system who exist independently of tho colleges, and have, in a grent de- gree, saperseded them, Lo too many cases the candidate for an ordinary degree, if he Pass, is compelled to make use of a private tutor, His college does, indeed, provide him with a certain number of le tures, but the nuwber is usually quite in- adequate, »nd even if it were greater in weveral nstances the teaching proyided is not nearly ko well calculated for the needs of the pupil as is the betier-arranged teaching of the private tutor. In the grammar classes of the New Humpshire rchools o system has beem adopted by which a teacher devotes her time out of school and her instruction during school hours to a particular study, pussing thus iuto three or more rooms each day, aud brinzing the members of as many classes under her immediate care, State Buperintendent Bent says in regard to this matter: *'When teachers have been work- ing tog-ther, and huye shown in what par- ticular dircction their tastes lie, each may e usked to adopt a certain branch of in- struction, and vacancies can be filled by promotion, B8 experience points to partic- ular fitness, But when those subjects are assigned, and the work begins, the faithe ful teacher, no longer expected to scatter her encrgies over a wile range of studies, collects ws many treatises as possible, and makes the learning and science of many winds contribute to her stock in trade. It can also be arranged that she remain with the classes she teaches during thelr study hour, thus giving them the benefit of her Ige waile they are preparing their wnd carrying out the modern view IMPIETIES, Auother couple of weeks and the time will have arrived for 1inisters to begin to look pale and interestiig, Getting ready dark eyed count and one night, after [ = THE JELM MOUNTAIN Workin Oapital 8:0ck, TS N Par Valuo of Shares, = - 8TOCK FULLY P Flour, CIGARS Agents for BENWOOD NAILS AND LAFLIN & 3 BOYER & JO., ~——DEALERS IN— HOTELS, ARLINGTON.
