I K3TOW IT.
bv e. w newer..
At sover.lcon years of ase I was more of a
inaritlian I have ever been' since. 1 wore a
Iniigitnil-cnnt mid boots. (lo which the nppur
Icnniiro of spurs was generally aiidcil) a inus
lachc "vas quite visihle to my upper lip and a
consciousness of ripe maturity never lelt my
mintl. I was studying for th legal profes-
sion hut at the time of which 1 write was
spending my vacation at my father's house in
the country. t
Though so manly almost soldier- likeas I
fancied in my nppearanco my inner was hy
no means as .-.tr.in as mv outer man. I loved
my mother with a childish tenderness and
sooner than pain her pious heait I unmtir-
muringly accompanied her every Sunday to
the ullage church to listen to long sermons
of which I could not hear a word for the
ti emulous accents of the very ngc.d minister
who conducted the sen ices were so faint as
to he inaudible where we sat. Though inci
ted Iy love and duty to subject myself to this
wmk of penance well deserved by mv
weekly sins.) my conscience did not proven'
. inc from w Idling awav the time bv such amuse i
incuts as lay at hand that namely of oh
serving and speculating on the countenances
of my neighbors an occupation of which 1
was fund.
'I he physiognomy which interested me
more than all otheis.was that of a young girl
who sat not far fiom us and who was accom-
panied by an aged lady probable her grand-
mother the object of her ever watchful care.
This gilPs face from first eliciting my caic-
less observation. gradually absorbed my whole
attention. It was very beautiful hut apart
fiom that it possessed the greatest possible
interest for me. Never hail I spcii a counte
nance which denoted such sensibility; each
motion of her mind was wiittcn upon it.hv its

ted but the hev of aVirresponding derce in !
tlie belioldcr to read her lender innocent
soul like an open book. For hours I gazed
and speculated on that fair face I thought
how tud would he the lot of so sensitive a
being should fate unite her to one who would
not know how to lead aright what was so
delicately written to whom the varving ex-
pression of that sweet countenance would be
but a blank who would be able to see in it
only its coarser part beauty of feature.
There was no end to the reveries into which
those swift coming blu-hes led me.
Sometimes by chance the fair object of
my busy fancies would catch mv u e.or with-
out looking at me seem to know or feci that
1 was gazing at her and I wickedly delighted
in noting the blushes which deepened on

One Sunday 1 Iiapjicncd'in com
oming out of
ely neighbor
and .iclually
tlie church to lie close to my lov
immediately behind her my hand actually
touched Iter utiroiiM-ious garments. 1 felt an
irresistible dcsiie to force her in some way to
notice me to speak to me to occasion one ol
those chatiniug blushes any Ihin I knew
not what. In blunt like an impeitinent cox
comb as 1 was 1 stooped forwaid and with
an insufferable in?o!ence which 1 blush now
to remember 1 whispered in her car.
"You arc very pretty!"'
Never was 1 mote surprised than when she
calmlv replied
"I know it!"
1 was absolutely staulcd. I had expected
a silent conscious blush an indignant "lance
anything rather than this cold "1 know
it."
I was puzz'ed. hut I had plenty of lime to
turn the matter in my mind for in a few days
I returned to college. I can tiuly :-ay it was
ihe main problem which throughout the term
gave ine the most trouble to solve aud cost
me most lhouht.
Another year elapsed ere I returned home
and again sat in the little village chuich.
ZMy personal appearance was meanwhile
somewhat alteicd. 1 Mill wore my mustache
it is tiue but my c at tcils were :iot or did
not seem rjuite so long and I had left oil" my
spurs.
My mother and I wcte early sealed in our
pew and I impatiently awaited for the airi. j
val ol my lovely enigma. 1 inert to prepare
mvself lor disappointment. "I have been
thinking and dreaming about an ideal'! said
to myclf doubtless when the young lady
htrielf appears all 'my fine imaginings will
vanish: there can he no cl.iubl my fancy has
been plating Micks with nic.invcsting a mere
country maiden w ith tranccnil.iut graces and
charms. While 1 was seasoning thus with
myself the young lady appeared leading her
old relative with tender care.
Worshipping an "ideal." indeed! .My most
charming remembrance did not begin in do
justice to the beautiful leality. A soul full
of tendt-rness and sensibility seemed to have
found a fitting home in a person and face of
perfect loveliness and grace.
She blushed when looking round she rhan-
ced to see me and again the play of expres-
sion on her features which had so intcicttcd
me fotmcilv cliaitneil me.
The more I studied her fare the more 1
seemed to see into the pure depths of her soul.
I could have staked my life on her noble pu-
rity ol thought and dee-J.
-As we leiurnc.l home I described my fair
neighbor and asiiod my mother who she
was.
'Her name 'my mother siidis Grace Den-
ny;" and she is the loveliest the most snpe-
iior'young woman I bate ever in my life met
with. It is too soon to think of such things
yet" slit; continued smiling "but some vears
hence it would make me happy to see my sun
married to ju-t such a woman."
"Not quite so. fat mother" said I laugh-
ing a good deal to hide n little boyish embar-
rassment which 1 was most anxious to con-
ceal. 1
I found that Grace had become a constant
visitorcit my mothci's and did not fail to im-
prove the opportunity ol becoming better ac-
quainted with her.
She was indeed a gifted creature endowed
with all "nature's best." She sang.shc dan-
ced she conversed with an indescribable
grace peculiar to herself. Though general-'(-lv
thoughtful and earnest in her demeanor
she had a vein of quiet humor.and her strokes
of playful diollery chinned all the mote from
beiiigunexpcclcd. Bui more allii ring to me
than all other gifts and accomplishments was
the shrinking sensibility depicted on every
feature of her sweeOfare. I soon found my-
self deeply painfully interested in her. I sjy
painfully for Grace received my assiduous
attentions with a pcifecl coolness anil uncoil-
ret if .which civc me "real uneasiness. Some
limes I thought she leinemutrrcu my early '
impertinence and v a disposed to puimh it. !
But there was a rival a cousin of Grace's
.--.". ." '. . .i
who always stood ta my way and Irom whom
Grace received aa a matter of course num-
berless little nlleruions which 1 djred not o-
Vcn offer. I hated thU man; I was insuffer-
ably icalous hul Grace seemed either per-
cctly unconscp us or perfectly tndt.'leicit to )
the br;.nhiy of animosity which was cunied
on between us.
GraCc sweet ndilo" Grace wilh all her
childlike simplicity and sensitive wniuau'a
hcait--who could resist her? I could not
my whole soul was hers. 1 n vain had I strug-
gled in vain had I called upon my vanity
(of which 1 had plenty to invoke) to save me
from the mortification of loving without ic-
lurn . 1 could not stem nor control the pas-
si on which stiong as a mighty whirlwind had
seized mo.
One evening I sat by the piano while Grace
sang to me. The cousin was not there and
dear (trace's very color ami glistening eyes
suggested sweet hopes to my vanity. I fan-
cied I saw love in those bright dewy eyes
and on those soft music breathing lips.
It was the last evening of my vacation and
.Surely 1 lead a gentle farewell thought in
Grace's face. I was beside myself with joy
at the idea -I was as if in a blissful dream
a sweet ileliiium a rapture of hive. As
Grace rose to leave the piano I caught her
hand and unable to repress ihe one thought
that filled my heart exclaimed fervently:
"Graue dear Grace with all my soul 1
'ovo J'".'
She lifted her large soft eyes and said
slowly while a mischievous smile stole over
her face:
"I know it."
She was cone before 1 had time to prevent
it or to recover from my surpiisu.
The next day I icturned to college expec
ting to complete my studies in anotuer year.

given by the Army to the Prcsilont of Fiance
on the night of this 1 1 lit May was the most
marvellous fete ever yet seen 'in Paris at

"It had been announced (lie says') that the
guests would dance in a tent. That may
have been the original design but the tent
swelled under the tasteful hands of the ar-
chitect into a temple of solid foundations and
massive propo: linns. Rut this is not iho 0

thai the result was worth the eiloit when they
