George W. Crojts, in The Current. THE YOUNG- TEACHER. It was the evening of the commence ment exercises at Mrs. Weston's large boarding school. All was noise and excitement. The pupils were flying about in a flutter of anxiety, anti in various stages of in completed toilette. "What have you clone with my flowers, Nell? There, how provoking You have tipped over my powde\ Your elbows are always in the wrong place!" quoth Miss Lydia Holcamp one of the oMer girls, her temper get ting the better of her. "Dear me! There, I'm ready at last. I wonder where that Miss Barker is. I want her to give me another arillin^ in that recitation. I dressed early on pvr po&e, and. now I suppose she will be away prinking her dollyfiecl self!" "Dear me, Lydia. you 'have had more instructions on your recitation than any of the rest have had on theirs. I should think it would be better to study by yourself, and let Miss Barker have a little rest. The poor thing is overworked." "Oh. pshaw!" exclaimed Miss Hol camp with a sneer "she likes to show oil, that is all. If she didn't like it she wouldn't be a teacher of elocution." Thus speaking, Lydia Holeamp de parted to seek her instructress in elo cutionan art upon which the young lady prided herself. Lv, dia was especially anxious to dis tinguish herself to-night, for the rea son that among those present she ex pected there would be a certain Mr. Harry Quintard, a member of a wealthy family whom she had visited during her vacation. Her own father was a rich man, and the families had always been on terms ot friendship. Harry and his sister she knew would come, and failure was not to be thought of. But Miss Barker's services were not to be secured she was engaged with some of the younger pupils." "You can not see Miss Barker," re marked the preceptress. "You will have no difficulty with your piece, Miss Holeamp, unless you fail to re member certain passages. If I recol lect correctly Miss Barker advised you to make sure of those points. Have yon done so?" "Oh! I remember it perfectly!" an swered Miss Holeamp with confidence. "But I wished Miss Barker to show me how to fall into that dramatic atti tude which i like so much." "Think of what you tire saying Miss Holeamp, and that will aid you to the expression. Miss Barker can not give all her time to one." Lydia went pouting away. The evening anvanced.'the guests assembled, and at last Lydia's turn to recite arrived. She was a girl of most remarkable assurance, and she went fearlessly on untill suddenly her memory failedher. It was what the teachers had fear od. Miss Holeamp had some ability, they said, but no application. She was no student. She glanced helplessld toward Miss Barker, who promptep her. Again she went ou. Again she stopped tor want of words. At last, atter several promptings, she came to the end of her selection. Miss Barker had retreated behind the draperies, sore and disappointed that one of her most promising pupils bad thus failed. "It was all your fault," burst forth Lydia. "you hateful, disagreeable thing! I believe you were jealous, and meant 1 should' fail, when you went and hid yourself away w'lth those children to-night. You knew I needed another lesson." The fair little teacher turned pale and trembled. She was not accus tomed to such lanfftiage. Most of her pupils were kind and obedient. She was slim, and young, and pret ty, this teacher and "a great student and worker. All the teachers respect ed and liked her. "You have made me fail, and I hope may never see your face again!" concluded Lydia as she flounced away. Just outside of the draperies stood a handsome young man. He heard the abuse lavished upon the young teacher, and his lip curled. "Who is the tall fair girl in grey!" he had inquired during.the evening, "Miss Barker the teacher of elocu- tion," had been the reply. He started. "Is it possible?" said he. "She ap pears as young as the pupils." Not one word came from. Miss Baker's lips now, but he heard teach ers and scholors exclaiming that it was shame after the attention she had lavished upon Miss Holeamp durino* (he past term. Mr. Harry Quintard (for he it was who had overheard Miss Holeamp) made his way to the preceptress when the exercises were over, and asked her for an introduction to Miss Barker. "Ah, you mustn't be making love to my pet teacher, Mr. Quintard. "said the lady, with an arch glance and an admonitory tap of her fan. Nevertheless, Mr. Harry Quintard was presently seated by the side of "pretty Miss Barker," as nearly all railed her in the school. wttHt wa, She looked a little pale and wearied, and Harry noticed that her hands trembled. fs'w M, "Mo wonder," he thought, J "It must be very exhausting work, teaching all those great girls," he said. I should dearly like to hear you recite something yourself." The eyes which looked into "pretty Mis3 Barker's," were frank and ad miring. At this moment, his sister came tip to them. She looked cold, and drew her brother aside. She had left Lydia, who had recently joined her, and wanted her brother to come to them. "Lyd," said she, "is only a teacher in the school, Hal.' Come with us." "You will have to excuse me for the present," said Hal, who saw that others were making their waj to Miss Barker's seat, "unless you and Lydia will join us, for I like Miss Barker very much. She is a perfect lady." And Hal kept his word. He "kept by the little teacher's side for the rest of the evening, much to Lydia's cha grin. "Tell me, where will you spend jour vacation?" he asked at parting. She colored as she replied: "I'm going to a very lonely place in the countrj-, and shall spend'the time in working very hard." "But why not rest?" he added "you need rest, "surely. "Tell me then," he added, "where you will go, that I may hope to see you again?" She shook her head. "It is best not," she said. "What!" he exclaimed "have I chen treated A on so badly that \ou will never see "me again," Miss Barker's* eyes fell, and again the warm color came over cheek and forehead. "There is a lady who was once very kind to me," she said, who lives very humbly among the mountains of Cum berland, and 1 am going to spend my summer with her. In the autumn I hope to begin a new phase of my arc. You see I am poor, Mr. Quintard". and depend upou my exertions for a liv- ing." She looked straight into her com panion's eyes as she spoke, and Harry Quintard read there both determina tion and pride. The expressiou in cluded something else, too. It said, "You know now my circumstance, and also that I wish you to know them." Harry's eyes, however, never falter ed beneath hers. They grew earnest and ardent. "Will you give me the name of the place?" he asked gravely, and yet in a pleading voice. She wrote the address upon a small card and gave it to him. It was a month later that Harry Quintard entered the parlor of one of the most fashionable hotels in Kes wick. It was a popular resort among the lake tourists, and to-night there was a grand reception groing on. Music and recitations were Ic be fol lowed by dancing: in the ballroom. Someone was singing as he went in, and presently a murmur ran through the throng as a lady, young, fair as the morn and graceful as a willow, was led forward and received with a greet ing of warm applause. What was there about this charming vision that sent Harry's blood tingling through his veins with a wild pleasure able thrill? Sleeping or wakinsr he had scarcely once lost his fair face from his mental sight since last they had met. Yetwhat could this mean? This brilliant entree among people of wealth and position? He had thought again and again of their meetingf. He had fancied all kinds of rural scenes places isolated and beautiful, yet wild withal, with none but himself to ad mire the charming: face and form that had so bewitched him but to meet her thus, surrounded by an eulogic crowd this indeed he had never thought of. Later he made his way to her side. She had not lorgotten him, that was plain. Nay, more, Harry saw that the surprise was also a pleasure. The rosebud face with its spirituelle light, was lifted to his, above her raiment of pale blue, and Harry knew that the excitement of her "success made her radiant, yet under all th&t the young man felt there lurked a deeper pleasure at their meeting. "I gave some recitations in the town near where I was stopping,'' said Linda Barker, in explanation "1 saw the minister there, and he arranged to give me the church." The form of the young artist grew dignified and grave as she thus recorded her busi ness proceedings. "The people who heard me were so kind as to invite me to recite for the-n, and so it happens I am here. I shall be kept very busy, I trust, this summer." Mr. Quintard looked down in open admiration of this darling young girl with her baby face. "Then I am to be cheated out of those coveted woodland rambles. I have been counting upon them ever since we parted." Linda smiled. "If you knew my history, Mr. Quin tard, you would say that I was not, indeed, born for my present surround- ings." "They become you so well that I could never think that," he re plied. They were now away from the crowd. "Linda," he said, "before I leave you to-night I want you to promise me something. I want you to promise you will marry me in the au- tumn." "But how could that be, Mr. Quin tard? Even were you not the affi anced of another, your family would never regard me as a suitable mate for you." "Affianced to another!" Harry was so bewildered that he could only repeat her words. "What do you mean?" Before she could reply a voice sound ed at their sidc^Jhey had thought themselves alonef* "Yes, Harry Quintarddare you deny it?" '-sS"S*-' C\f It was Lydia Holeamp who stood there before them and thus accused him. Had Harry Quintard not once heard Lydia's abuse of her teacher, he would indeed have been dumb* founded. Asit was, he read the game in a trice. "Yes, madam, I do deny it," he ejaculated, looking Lydia straight in the face. He had heard his sister say that Miss Holeamp was sojourning in the moun tains, but he had not troubled himself to enquire whei'e. Lydia, however,was not to be thwart ed in her purpose. "Do you deny this, too?" and she coolly read a portion of a letter con taining vows of affection, and having for a signature his own name. "It is a base forgery, and you know it, womanP' cried Harry, al most beside himself with her persistency. And let me tell you at once, before you go any further, that I can very easily prove it to Miss Barker, if in no other way, through my own writing." He had taken the letter from her hand. "There is a very palpable difference between this writing and niy own see!" He showed Linda one that he took from his pocket as he spoke. Linda turned towaici him a pale but trusting faoe. He was trembling from head to feet with indignation. She laid her hand on his arm and whispered: "Come, I believe 3*011," and while the gaTs mocking laugh followed them the\' left the room. Onee away from her, Harry clasped Linda to his brea3t. "Tell me," he cried, "do you really trust me? Do you know that girl fabricated that story because she hates you?" "And loves you," murmured Linda, with downcast lids. "And in your eyes does that excuse her? Tell me, do 3011 love me, Linda darling, answer me?" "I can not answer you until you hear my story," faltered Linda, draw ing away from him and sinking into a seat. She had grown pale, and her eyes were suffused with tears. "Hear the blunt truth. I am the daughter of a coal miner." Harry heard with profound aston ishment, it is true, but he did not start from hera smile, indeed,dawned upon his face. "Yon remind me cf something which perhaps I ought to have told you," he said. "My grandfather was a poor carpenter, my father began his career in my grandfather's shop. From that he became a builder, and is now to be sure a rich contractor. So you see I am not much in advance of you in that respect.'' Both laughed, but Linda said: "Ah, but with you all has been dif ferent. You have^been well educated, and your wealth would enable \ou to make a rich match. I have "had to earn money while striving: to educate myself. 1 worked in a factory for two years, when father died. He vas killed in a mine, and as my mother was also dead, I was left alone. I had attended the common school, and was there encouraged to recite. I saved money and went to Manchester, and worked for one year in a factory there. While in that city I attended every free entertainment, and studied much at night. At last I applied for a posi tion to teach, and secured it. Then you met me." "My noble girl," cried Harry, "I would rather have you tor my wife to-day than any petted idle darlino- of luxury that I ever heard of." Harry Quintard meant what he said, and Linda Barker knew it. He stooped his face till his lips met hers in along kiss. Thus the daughter of a miner and the grandson of a carpenter betrothed themselves in true modern fashion. And among the circles of fashion and art to-day there walks no more perfect lady than Mrs. Harry Quintard. Alfred Crayon. Bill Nye and the Bronze Goddess. I am in favor of a Statue of .Liberty Enlightening the World, because it will show that we keep it on tap win ter and summer. W e'want the whole broad world to remember that when it gets tired of oppression it can come here and oppress IH. We are used to it and we rather like it. If we don't like it we cau get on the steamer and go abroad, where we may visit the effete monarchies and have a hio-h old time. The sight of the Goddess of Liberty standing there night and day, bathing her feet in the rippling sea, will be a good thing. It may be productive of good in a direction that many have not taoujjht of. As she stauds there day after day bathing her feet in the broad Atlantic, perhaps some moss grown Mormon moving toward the tar west, a confirmed victim of his matrimonial habit, may fix the bright picture on his so-called mind, and "re- membering how, on his arrival in New York, he saw Liberty bathing her feet with impunity may be led in after years to* try" it on himself. Boston Glirbe. Where the Scorpion Gets His Poison. When he strikes you with the end of his tail, like a wasp, he exudes a ven omous liquid, and a man niiojat better hold a red-hot irotn in his hand than to get a tenth a drop of this ar liquid into his blood. It is not neces sarily fatal, particularly in the Baha mas but it condenses the heat of forty furnaces. In some parts of South America scorpion bites are frequently fatal, but I have not heard of any one having been killed by them in Nassau. This is easily accounted tor. The scorpion likes to feed on decayed wood. In South America, where dye woods and other poisonous woods abound, the scorpion feeds upon them, and thus work into themselves a good supply of outside poison, which, taken together with his naturally poisonous liquid, does its work for whoever is unfortunate enough to be stung. But, in Nassau, such poisonous woods are few, and the scorpions have to fatten themselves respectably on pine, cedar and mahogany.From a Nassau Let ter. i They rocked the boat and were drowned In South Park Lake, Chicago.
