A TREASURED KEEPSAKE. »
While turning some old keepsakes over
In a sorrowful mood and forlorn.
The gem of them all I discover
In a child's sampler, faded and torn, >
With faintly-worked letters unfolding
An incomplete motto, a-stare,
And the time-yeljowed canvas still holding
A ringlet of pale golden hair.
*
‘T Love My Dear Papa Forever.”
Runs the legend, the rest being blurred,
While the last of the childish endeavor
Fritters out in a half-broidered word;
Though all that was meant is completed
In the woof that ray'mea'ry unrolls, .
Ever since the small worker's soul fleeted
fro the Giver and taker of souls.,
j -
Only a child's sampler, laded.
With poor straggling letters inwrought:
But, ah! how distinct and unaided
It emblazons its beautiful thought!
Only a yellow curl treasured
In the limp, flimsy, many-creased plaits.
But instinct with affection unmeasured
By earth s feeble standards, or fate's?
Oh' again and again do I kiss it.
With her image still fresh in my mind!
And that artless child's love, how I miss it,-
Sin' e noftnore with my life ’t:s combined?

joined to a most extraordinary amount of
egotism and vanity. She had played, in
childhood, behind the paternal counter; but
she had been educated in a fashionable
Parisian school, from which she had brought
away all manner of ambitions. In her
dreams for the future she saw noblemen at
her feet.* and she wfrnld not have thought a
crown misplaced had it been made to rest
on her magnificent yellow hair, ft was,
therefore, no wonder, that the Comte de
Prevaret’s visit had not much surprised
her. She saw in it simply the natural result
of her beauty, Ejhe received her father,
when he returned, with a superior, stride of
calm fatuousness, while Mme. Tarvenue,
who was most unsophisticated in her new
grandeur, exclaimed agitatedly: “If you
only knew whom we have just missed !”
“Oh! You think Tdon’t know,” replied the
good man, trying to look very subtle. ‘ So
he has come to make his proposal, has he?”
“To make his proposal i” quavered Mme.
Tarvenue. “You kneyv, then ?”
“It is to be hoped that I did know,” re-
marked M. Tarvenue with importance. “He
said to me only this morning: “It is * time

fairly wasting away; he is so much in love
with Solange.” x '• .
“Eusebe! O f .whom afie you' talking?” *
“Of my friend Itamillat, who is most anx-
ious that Solange should marry his son.”
“M. Ramillat'did.not call. But the Comte
de Prevaret rang the door-bell whil^ ybu
were away.” And Solapge, having pro-
bounced these words, majestically left the
room.

Embarrassing Results cf a Slight
Mistake.
It was a rainy day in January. Large
drops were beating monotonously against
the windows pf a red brick bouse, whose
white stone trimmings and other heavy
architectural ornamentations wore that air
of having been manufactured by the thou-
sand which characterizes the dwellings of
those good people who have gained wealth
without gaining taste..
Behind the guipure curtains on the first
floor stood a handsome blonde looking out,
with a bored expression in her cold blue
eyes. TbisSvas Solange Tarvenue, the only
daughter of a respectable bourgeois, who,
having made his money in trpde, now lived
a gentleman of leisure in this fine neyv
house. . ‘
“Heaven!” exclaimed il'llo Tarvenue,
4lhow tiresome this rain is! One can't go
•ut to make any calls,' and no one comes to
see one. It?s enough tq give one the
spleen.!”
spleen? What’s that?” asked M.
from the depths of his paper,
ting you don’t understand, papa,
sauPthe^eung lady, impatiently. ' '
“Suppose you practice a little, my daugh-
ter,” suggested Mme. Tarvenue. putting up
some stockings sne had been darning. “That
piece, you know, you.are to play at the
Paulpiur to-night.”
“Yes, it would be worth while, would it
not?” sneered Solange. “People who don’t
know one note from another!- As though
there was any one in the Yille-Abbe, any-
way, who did. What is the use of having
any talent for any thing when one lives in
the provinces?” • ,
“O, the provinces again! Solange is in a
bad humor. I’ll get out of the way,” re-
marked M. TarvenuS.
• “Leave the child alone. The temperature
affects her. It is psychological,” said Mme.
Tarvenue, who flattered- herself that' she
understood her daughter, afld was upon the
same intellectual level, albeit the, latter had
been educated in Pans.
She went dowfi stairs with the girl, and
there Solange, with—one must be just—a
good deal of mere digital brilliancy, began
to practice one of those showy and utterly
hollow musical productions in which there
are technical difficulties in profusion, but
absolutely not one note that can speak'to
the heart or the mind.
In the midst of these triNs and ehromalic
scales the bell-tang. /
“There!” cried Solange, stopping short,
•‘I’m sure that is a call. You see, mamma,
you were very wrong to say that you were
not at home to visitors. Every one is not
as much afraid of bad weather ps *you are.”
*^Iy dear child, what are you thinking of !■
Such a day as this! Why, the parlor furni-
ture would have been ruined by .people’s
wet, clothes!” t ■ •
* “People’s wet clothes! It is to be hoped
the people we know would wear water-
proofs, as long as they come on foot,” added
the young iady, bitterly.
She rang the bell. A young servant girl
came in. ,
“Bring tfie cards that Were left just now.”
, T^ie servant returned. Solange threw ari
Indifferent glance on the bit of pasteboard.
Suddenly her face lighted up; she exclaimed
quickly: •_
“Mamma! It was M. de Prevaret! And
yon didn’t receive him!”
“M. de Prevaret!” wailed Madame Tar-
jrenue.
, “Dear me! What a pity, now!” cried So-
laage, sourly.
M. de Prevaret was considered the very
best catch in Yille Abbe! Youngand hand?
some and clever, and the possessor of a large
fortune he lived with his mother, the dowa-
ger countess, in one of the most sumptuous
residences in the town. And this young
man, on whom every woman of rank tfhth a
marriageable daughter smiled, had rung the'
doorbell of the Tarvenues, and left his cards’
* for them ! He bowed to them, because they
bowed to his mother, but he had never been
introduced to the ladies.
“What can it mean?” asked Mme. Tar-
* venue, anxiously.
. Solange was standing before the*glass.
“Why, it seems to me that it is very
clear!” she replied, with deep complacency.
“Haven’t you noticed, my dear mamma,'that
every time we go to hear the babul, play M.
de Prevaret is there, too?”
“What!—why—do you think—?” Mme.
Tarvemie did not dare finish, so audacious
did her thought seam to her.
\ “And why not?” demanded Solange,
\throwing up her. Blonde head with a trium-
phant air that made her really immensely
handsome.
“You are right,” murmured .poor Mme.
Tarvenue; “you are pretty enough.”
be nothing surprising in that either. *She is
handsome enough to make a messalliance
ppssible.” .
A discussion then arose between Mme.
Tarvenue and her daughter as* to whether .
they sbould call, in their turn, on the dowa-
ger countess—a discussion which was thus
concluded by the young lady;
“On general principles it should be papa
who returned the call. But he would not
know how to appear in a way that would dd
us justice. Now, if it were I, having • the
habit of the world, I should know how f to
manage perfectly. So. it is best that mamn^a
and I should go to call on the countess. * By
doing so we will make her understand that
we are very willing to know her. but not
willing to accept the attentions of her son
against her wishes.” *•
The plan was cleverly conceived, and a
week later was carried out. ,
On the same day the dowager Countess
de Prevaret was chatting with her son in a
large salon filled with'fine old furniture.
He, who was the most jtouchingly devoted
of sons, had been asking his mother how
she had passed the afternoon., She had
been too tired to receive, she said. But
there bad been
several callers. “Among
others • these”—and she took up a card
“Mme- Tarvenue” and mademoiselle.
“Do you know these people!” asked the
countess. “I was surprised to get their
card.”
“I know them andU don’t. He used to be 1
a linen draper, I think. He is out of- busi-
ness now. They sit near 'you in church;
the father is a little man with s
the mother very stout and rubicund
ught in the best possible form.
When the'bountess saw the two laities en->
ter her drawing-room she suppressod a
movement of surprise, but she received her
guests with that gracious afniability which
so successfully, keeps people' at a distance,’
"I was Sorry,” she said, in her slow, nru-f
sical voice, “not to have been at home when
you came some little time ago to see me.”
“The loss was entirely- our% rnadame,”
said Solange, with' empressment. ,
“Certainly, certainly,” said- Mme. Tapve-
rue, who was very red and Very ill at ease.
“Tregretted the coincidence all the more
that I thought you might have wished to
see me with regard to some church charity.”
Solange understood the allusion, and her
eyes flashed fire. ? .
“No, madame, I am interested in church'
work, but I do not solfeit aid from others,”
she announced trenchantly. “We have come
simply to prove our recognition of the, visit
by which you -were pleased to show us that
y.ou approved of your son’s visit to Us.”
It was now the countess’ turn to be agi-
tated. Had Gerard really gone to see these
people? -The daughter, was pretty, very
pretty. j •
“I did not know that my son had called
upon you,” she said 'with her grand air.
“But iiis friends are mine. Ah! There ho !
is now. Gerard.” addre-slng the young man \
Who now entered with .a smile1, “will you ,
.not introduce me to Mine, and M'lle Tar- j
venue"?”
. “It seems to me that it is you who ought j
to introduce me,” remarked the young man ;
bowing low before hjs mother's guests. *' j
“It is true, Monsieur,” said Solange, ;
while her mother wished that the earth
might open and swallow her up; “we re-
gretted not being at home when y ou called'
some time ago,”
The young man bowed again, and I(^pked
embarrassed, and said nothihg. ,
“My daughter alludes to the visit you
made us at the beginning of January,” here
threw in Mme. Targenue. ,
“I wish that I, too, mjght allude to it.
madame, but I am afraid there is a mis-
understanding, since I would never have
permitted myseff, not having the honor of
knowing you, to present' myself at your
door. Now, however, I shall,” he con-
tinued, with a profound bow, “certainly beg?
for the pleasure of doing so.” '* - :
“Mme. Tarvenue’ desperately rose, and,
followed by her daughter, left the room.
When Gerard had returned from seeing
them t6 the door, his mother said to him:
“Tell me- truly, my son, did you call on
those people!” • i * '; • '
“Never in the world, my dear mother, and'
I don't in the least know what all this
means'!” - v " " ,
In the street nfeanwhile Solange /Was
biting her lips till the blood'started,
What idiots we were! We have spoiled,
everything! He had come: to the house
without letting his mother knew, and> we
have let the eat out of the bag!” she raged.*
• What a pity! Ii he only comes back
again!” said Mm. Tarvenue. prayerfully, ?

rushed down to the kitchen, to tell the serv-
ant..that the ladies would receive. Then
sh'e threw a hasty glance into the drawing-
