Golden Lochs. HM Story or a Switch. "What do I know about Mich mat ters aaid SquirePoaUethwaite,rump ling up his Saxon Brown hair into a crest on the very top of his head. The Squire was standing in the mid die of the sunny sitting-room—a room aglow with wreaths of autumn leaves and blossominggeraniums,with a wood fire on the hearth, which exalted a faint piny perfume from the resinous logs which were crackling there, and the biggest tortoise-shell cat in New Jersey asleep in front of the blaze, ind the Squire's wife was balancing herself on tiptoe to sew a button on his shirt bosom—a maliciousbutton which had flown off without the slightest pre vious notice, a very Mephistopheles in mother-of-pearl. The Squire was tall and big and easily wheedled the Squire's better half was round and petite and possessed of a good deal of feminine diplomacy and, as a matter of course, Mrs. Postlethwaite con quered. "Oh, my dear.it's the simplest thing in the world," said she. "But it's so perfectly absurd!" per sisted the Squire. "The idea of myNapoleanic going intoone of those Broadway places and asking for—a switch!'' "It's done every day my dear," said Mrs. Postlethwaite, deftly breaking the thread. "And really, my hair is getting so thin, what with crimping and frizzing and everybody else wears a false braid, or a bunch of curls, or something, and I am positively singu lar without one. And I wouldn't mind waiting until I go up to town in January, if it wasn't for Fanny Les lie's charade party. Every body will be there and of course you want me to look as well as any one else, don't you dear!" The Squire could not gainsay this, leading proposition. He had married' a pretty young country girl for love, and during all the five years of their wedded life the torch had burned clear upon the altar of his heart. "Of course I do he replied, heart ily. "Then you'll bring me the switch, won't you," coaxed Mrs. Postleth waite. "If it must be, I suppose it must be," assented the Squire, with a grimace. And when he drove off to the depot, he carried in a pocket case next to his heart, a lock of his wife's flaxen hair —not as a keepsake, but as a sample. Thirty-six inches long, at least," Mrs. Postlethwaite called after him. "And crimped a little at the top, if it's not charged extra for." Squire Postlethwaite didn't go the city every day. As a general thing, his ach farm in New Jersey occupied the most of his time and at tention but when he did mingle with the gay metropolitan world, he re-a solved to enjoy himself to the utmost. So he engaged a room at the most ex pensive and aristocratic hotel he could find, visited the Academy of Design, where he didn't understand the pic tures at all, and went in the evening to the theatre, where he cried over the tragedy, and laughed his vest but tons off at the brisk little comedy that served as an afterpiece, and was a lit tle abashed at the ballet. And it is most probable that he would have forgotten his wife's commission en tirely if, in the process of searching his pocket case for a note which he was to present for payment at a city bank the next day, he hadn't chanced to come across a tress of shining gold. "Hallo!" said the Squire, smiting his knee with one hand, "here's Pol ly's hair! And I must go and buy the switch to-morrow, or there'll be the deuce and all to pay." He went that afternoon to dine with old Mr. Ponsonby at Delnionico's—for the Squire bad all a child's delight in gilding and fresco and lights. Old Mr. Ponsonby rather discouraged the switch business when, over their modest bottle of claret, the Squire broached his proposed errand of the ollowing morning. "I wouldn't," said old Mr. Ponsonby, shaking his head. "Wouldn't?" echoed the Squire. "Why not?" "It's running a great risk," said Mr. Ponsonby, oracularly. I'm told that yellow fever and small-pox, and all that sort of thing, are disseminated to analarming extentjthrough themedium of false hair." Squire Postlethwaite opened wide his eyes and mouth. They cutoff the hair of hospital cases, and sell it to pay expenses, yon see," added Mr. Ponsonbv, lowering his voice. "No 1" interrogated the Squire. "Fact," nodded the old gentleman. "And, besides, they import a deal of it from foreign countries, where the people are in no wise noted for clean liness or health." "Never heard of such a thing in my life," asseverated Squire Postleth waite. "And the only way to bo quite sure about what you're buying is to see it cut from the human head yourself," asserted Mr. Ponsonby, peeling a ba nana. "But I don't see how it can be done," hesitated the Jersey peach farmer. "I don't either," said Mr. Ponson by, "and that's the reason I advise you to drop the whole thing." Squire Postlethwaite shook his head mildly. It was all very well for Mr. Ponsonby to be thus lavish with his counsel, but Mr. Ponsonby didn't know how it was himself. He wasn't a mar tied man. His wife hadn't charged him with a particular commission,and wasn't expectantly waiting for him at home. "Let Mrs. Postlethwaite be satisfied with her own hair," urged Mr. Pon sonby, nibbling at an olive. "Women are never satisfied," said the Squire, gloomily. "Then let her learn the lesson of contentment." "Women never learn," said the Squire. But he recalled his friends good ad vice the next day, when he walked into M. Emile Dupignac's "Centennial Hair Emporium." M. Dupignac rubbed his hands as he hurried behind the plate-glass counter and begged olandly to know "in what he could have the happiness to serve monsieur." lil a switch." said Squire Pos- lethwaite, a little uneasy under the bright-eyed regards of M. Dupignac's ten "salesladies," who were dressed rather more splendidly than his Polly, even in her church-going attire, and wore glittering jewelry, vfh\ch our Squire believed, to be reaj and of great price-"and it must be of this color," holding up the sample, "and one yard long." M. Dupignao oritically surveyed the lock, with bib head first on one side and then on the other. "It is of a color truly ravishing," said be. "But nevertheless I flatter myself that I can match it." And he briskly opened a drawer full of long switches, neatly packed in nar row pasteboard boxes, and odorous of camphor, and whisked out a mass of pale rippling gold, which he held up to the sunlight with Polly's lock laid against it. "Nature itself!" cried M. Dupignac, theatrically. "No, you don't" said the Squire.set ting his teeth together like a steel trap. "Comment?" demanded M. Dupig nac. "Put up that thing," said Squire Postlethwaite, "and shut the drawer." "Monsieur would wish it a shade lighter?" queried the Frenchman. "Or perhaps darker? Vraiment, it is a mere matter of taste." "Monsieur don't want any of that sheared-off trash," said the Squire, laconically. M. Dupignac drew himself up with dignity. "Monsieur will perhaps allow me to assure him," said he, "that there is no better stock than mine upon this con-ti-nent." "I'm not quite so green as to swal low every thing I hear, if I do come from the country," said the Squire, composedly. "Shut up that drawer, I say. None of your second-hand scar let fever and small-pox for me. None of your dead people's clippings out of the hospitals. "But, monsieur—" gesticulated the Frenchman. "I tell you," roared Squire Postleth waite waxing noisy as he became more in earnest, "I won't buy a single soli tary spear of hair, unless 1 know where it comes from. I'll see it cut myself, or I'll let it severely alone." M. Dupignac's momentary expres sion of dismay and perplexity gave way to an instantaneous illumination of the facial muscles. "By all means, by all means, if mon sieur wishes it," cried he, fitting the five fingers of one hand against the five fingers of the other. Monsieur shall be satisfied. I court publicity. I—Laure!" —to one of the extravagantly dressed shop girls—"where, then, is that poor girl that was here this morning, wish ing to sell her hair?—the girl with les cheveux d'or, the head of real gold that takes its burnish in the sunshine? Does she still wait, Laure Mademoiselle Laure was not quite certain as to that, but she had the yonng person's address. The young should be immediately sent for. "Let her be summoned at once," said M. Dupignac, with a wave of the hand, as if he was a monarch, issuing royal mandate. "And," with a sec ondary sweep of the arm toward a vel vet upholstered chair—"if monsieur will honor us by waiting bKt a few sec onds his undeserved doubts shall all be set at rest." "Seeing is believing," said Squire Postlethwaite, cavalieily. Andjie sat down, softly whistling "Bonnie Dun dee," and staring steadfastly outof the window. toperson In about fifteen minutes there was a little bustle of arrival in the next room. M. Dupignac lifted a Notting ham lace curtain which sheilded the glazed upper half of the door of com munication, and placing his finger on his lip with a truly French gesture, pointed to a lovely blue-eyed young girl, dressed in faded and shabby gar ments, but the magnificent pale yel low hair floating like a glory down over her shoulders. "By Jove!" ejaculated the Squire, "that's a splendid head of hair M. Dupignac shrugged his shoulders. "She offered to sell it to us this morn ing," said he "but we had not then an opportunity to dispose of it. It isdisorganizing to succor her needy mother,poov lamb! They are poor but respectable." "You know them, then questioned the Squire. "I know them well. Ah," added M. Dupignac, sentimentally, "how one has pity for the poor "I'll buy it," promptly interrupted Squire Postlethwaite. "There's no danger of any scarlet fever or small pax there. She's as fresh as a rose and as clear as a pink. What will it cost?" "Lok at the tickness! look at the length of that chevelure!" cried the ecstatic Frenchman. "It is cheap— positively dirt cheap—at fifty dollars. But to secure monsieur's custom—" "I'll take it," said the Squire, with alacrity. M. Dupignac motioned to Madem oiselle Laure. Mademoiselle Laure tapped a tiny silver call-bell, and a white aproned man in the next room, who looked like a barber in disguise, went ruthlessly at work shearing away the long yellow locks. As one by one he dropped them into a flat willow basket at his side, the girl put her pocket-handkerchief to her eyes and visibly sobbed. "Poor girl! poor child!" said Squire Postlethwaite, feeling an uncomfort able sensation of tightness in the region" of his heart. "It's a shame—but then, if she's compelled to part with it, I may as well buy as any one else. Here.you monsieur, just give her this ten-dollar bill over and above the bargain. I can't endure to see a pretty girl cry—never could." Which.if the reader pauses to reflect, made Mrs. Postlethwaite's switch come very dear. However, the Squire trudged off, with the yellow treasure neatly pack ed in one of the long pasteboard boxes. For he sat and waited for it to be woven into a stem, sooner than be in any wise deceived by any article that was not the genuine one. "At all events," chuckled the Squire to himself, "I've outgeneraled the New Yorkers this time. I've proved to 'em I'm not to be put off with the trimmings of their hospital, nor any of their trashy imported stuff, brimful of shipfever and infection. To becine sure, it has cost a good deal, but I don't believe Polly will grudge the price when she hears all about it." This was Squire Postlethwaite's last day in the great metropolis, and to ward afternoon he completed his va rious errands tohis entire satisfaction, and started off down Cortlandt Street on a brisk walkto take the four-o'clock train, which would land him within a few miles of his beloved peaoh farm, when, all of a sudden, emerging from a narrow side street, whom should he meet §bu{ the golden-haired damsel who had cried so meltinglyat having her tresses out away that self-same morning {n,tyeCe^en^l |}air Ejn-n«sa porium! And at the same moment, with a little bob of a courtesy, the golden-haired damsel proved to him that the recognition was mutual. "It is!" cried the Squire, dropping two or three bundles in his bewilder ment." "No, it isn't! Yes, it is!" For the face and eyes and pretty lit tle childish dimples on oheek and chin were the same, but, lo and behold! a luxuriant braid of aureate hair, was coiled around and around the head un der the natty little felt hat with its bluebird's wing. "I'm much obliged for the ten dol lars, Sir," said the girl. "Gentlemen isn't generally so liberal." •'B-but your hair?" stuttered our Squire, scarcely able to credit the evidence of his own senses. "Oh dear, Sir, it wasn't my hair (re all," said the girl. "It's just a lot that M. Dupignac keeps on, hand, mounted on invisible netting, and it aint clip ped off at all, only loosened from the net by a hook on the end of the scis sors. Some of the customers likes it cut direct from the head—gentlefolks has all sorts of whims-and M. Dupig nac keeps me for a blonde, and Mary Ann Perkins for a brunette. We rolls up our own hair boy fashion, and itoure don't show unless you get very close. I wouldn't have told on him, neither," with a little toss of the head, "if it hadn't been for his wanting to crib all the extra ten dollars for himself." Squire Postlethwaite drew a long breath. He began to be pain fully conscious that he had not "outgeneraled" the city people so com pletely as he had imagined, after all Should he go back, he asked himself, to M. Dupignc's Centennial Hair Em porium, and punch the head of that distinguished foreigner or should he report the whole matter at police headquarters? or—perhaps best and most sensible course of all—should he take the original purposed four-oclock train, go back to the Jersey peach farm, and keep his own counsel for ever and a day Squire Postlethwaite decided in favor of the latter proposition. He went home with his golden switch in its box, gave it to Polly with a kiss, and never told her of hisbe adventure. And to this day she dosen't know how much it cost. "Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise." +9+ "Gwendolen.' A correspondent of Leader, writing from who the original of "Daniel Deronda" is. was formerly worth the Cleveland London, tells Gwendolen in He says: "She $1,000,000, but went to the Continent.became addicted to gambling, and lost all of her money, even parting with her necklace, as the book states. During her infatuation she was narrowly watched by George Eliot, and by a wealthy gentleman liv ing to-day in Manchester, and so inter ested did he become in Gwendolen that he offered to make good her losses if she would cease play, but she refused. The lady now lives in London on an income of about $1,000 a year, all that is saved from the wreck. She is 25, unmanie), and said to be very hand some, and what adds interest to the tale is the fact that she is the grand daughter of one of England's greatest poets." Prof. Tjndall's Warning. In concluding an address to the students oi University College (London) Prot. Tjndall, who is unquestionably one ot the most inde latigable I rain workers ot cur century, said/ "take care of ycur health. Imagine Hercules as oarsman in a rotten boat what can he do there but by the verv force ot his stroke ex pediate the ruin of his craft. Take care of the timbers oi your boat." The distinguished scientist's advice is equally valuable to al workers. We are apt to devote all our ener gies to wielding the oars, our strokes fall firm and fast, but lew ot us examine or even think of the condition ot our lioati until tLe broken or rotten timbers suddenly give way and we find ourselves the victims of a calamity which could have been easily avoided by a little forethought. What began with a slight frac ture, or perhaps even a careless exposure to influences, ends in the complete wreck ol the life-boat. The disease which began by a slight headache, or an undue ex posure to cold, terminates in death, unless its progress be checked, and the disease reme died. Thefirt symptoms,the heralds of dis ease give no indication ol „the strength of the on-coming foe,and the victim trusts that his old ally, Nature, will exterminate the invader. But disease is an old general, and accom plishes his most important movements in the nighttime, and some bright morning finds him in possession oi one ot the strongest forti fications and when he has once gained a stronghold in the system, Nature ignomini ously turns traitor and secretly delivers up th wl ole physical armory to the invader* Like the wily politician, Nature is always on the strongest side, and the only way to insure her support is to Keep your vital powers in the ascendant.
