Tlic Hend of Apollo. " Fellcle I Fellclo Ilrevardl Come hore dlrectly." The soft French ramfl hfl.d a nueer sound, comlng from Mrs. Monson's thln llps and acrld volce. Fellcle camo slowly up the stalrs to where Jlrs. JInti8on stood talking volubly wltlt hcr lodger, Mr. Thornton. " Fellcie, walk n Htllo faster," said Mrs. Jlonson, sharply. " Here ls Jlr. Thornton, that has mlsed hls finest cameo. You were in hls room dustlng, yesterday." " It w9 a head ot Apollo," said Jlr. Thorn ton. "I bought ItinNaples. Could you have swept lt behind the f urnlture 1" At the first mentlon of the cameo, Fellcie ut her hand ln her pocket, she turned adly pale, and a half cry escaped her. "Have you got It V" cried Jlrs. Mon son, shrilly. "If you have, out of these doora you snall pacs. irouoie enougn i have had with you already and all your relatlons." She seized her by the shoulders, and at tempted to put her hand Inlo her pocket. Felicis restated desperately. She was as white iii a ghost. " Come, come, Jlrs. Jlonaon I The cameo is not worth all that," said Jlr. Thornton. It was really worth enough to have made Felicle open her innocent eyes wlder than they had ever opened before. Jlr. Thornton had often notlced Fellcie. Ile believed her to be hone9t, and saw that she was terrified by Jlrs. Monson's violence. "Btit I mean to get to the bottom of it," said Jlrs. Jlonson. Thornton canght her by tho wriat and forced her to unloose Fellcie. He gave her a look before whlch the shrewdness van ished like smoke. " You had better go down stalrs," eaid he, quletly. " I wlll settle with Fellcie." Jlrs. Jlonson walked submissively down stairs, and left Thornton and the frightened girl alone. " Now," said Thornton, kindly, but wllh dftermlnation ln hls voice, "tell me how this all happened." Fellcle put her hand ln her pocket and handed out the cameo. " I know you won't believo me," she said, bursting into tears, " but I did not steal it." " I believo you," said Thornton, " go on." " I was dusttng ln your room. I put my handkerchlef on the mantel-pleco. When I took it up I did not notlco that I look any thing with it. When I got down stalrs I felt it in my pocket. I was hurrying to put it back when I found you and Jlrs. Jlonson here." She was very pretty when she cried. She had a dellcate beauty very different from Jlrs. Jlonson's buxom daughters. Ile won dered how two types so different could be produced in the same family. " Are you Jlrs. Jlonson's niece?" he asked. " No,' she answered with a ring of indlg nation. "Jly mother Jlr. Jlonson's sister, and a lady. Jly mother was French." " And how catne you here ?" " Jly f ather and mother died, and I had nowhere else to go." She began to cry again. Thornton had never felt so bad for any human being in his life. " And have you never been educated ?" he inquired, after a pause. " A little. I can read and write, and I can speak French. Jly father was a French teacher, and he used to say to me when I was a little thlng, ' Fellcie, you must study hard some of these days, and you must learn to play and sing ;' but I cannot play, and I have not the heart to sing." Thornton looked at her in silence for some time. "I have never beneflted others much, but this ls a chance I will not let sllp. Fellcie, how would you like to go to school, and then learn some business that would make you independent snch as flower-makinir ?" " Or dress-making," rcsponded the prac tical Felicle. "Very well," said Thornton. "I know of a respectable plice where you can live. Let me see you are about fif teen V" " Nearly eighteen," said Felicle. Thornton stared. She was, then, quite a woman, and an un commonly pretty one, too, he said to him self. " You are sure you wlll not repent 7 Ilut perhaps I am wrong in taking you away from yournatural guardian in this manner," " You may take me away or not," said Felicie, coolly. " liut if some one does not take me away I bliall take myself away. I am going njw to get every thing I have, and nothing will induce me to sleep another night under this roof." That settled it. Thornton took a card and wrote an address upon it, and in less than nn bour Felicie presented herself at her new frlend's with a basket containing all her worldly possessions. Jlrs. Jlonson came home to find Felicie gone, and no clue to her, whlle Felicie was being snugly ensconsed in a sunny little room at Jliss Shepard's. Jliss Shepard had been an humble friend and dependent of Hussell Thornton's mother, and was only too glatl to have it in her power to do anything for "Jlr. Itussell." Thornton appeared in the evening, and fiied upon a plan for Felicie's future arrangements. " You shall have a certain amount a month," said he, " above your board. Svith that you may do as you please. You may go to school, or learn dress-making, or any thing else you like. I leave for New York to-morrow evening, and in a week I sail for London. I shall be in Europe certainly for three years, and at the end of that time I shall look you up, to see what you have made of yourself," Felicie looked up to him with her pretty dark eyea brimmlDg over with tears. She had learned to dread and fenr Htranparn. These two, Hussell Thornton and Jliss Shep- ru, wero iuh oniy iwo wno naa ever Deen kind to her in all her life. " I will tryj 1 willtryl" was all she could say. Thornton rose to say good-bv. " When I come back I eipect to be daz- zieu wun your acquiremenls." Ile shook hands with her ashe spoke,and vueu wun jiiisa oneparu, anu tne next mo ment saw his graceful figure dlsappear in the darkness. She turned to Jliss Shenard. " Will he ever do you think he will ever come back V" she asked, with nulverlnir lina. "Of course. Three years will slTp by easily." It seemed an eternity to look forward to, ln Felicie's imagination. The next day she said to Jliss Shepard, uv vuu jtuuw wuat, i am goiDff lo ao wun iait.nnan(l..t tr. Tl P. O T intend to learn to sing." " Iearn to sing I " said Jliss Shepard in the same tone as if she had said, " Learn 10 ny. "Yes,"sald Fellcle. "To Blng like the i;icaH uicm mucrs. jiy momer sang rjeau tlfullv. and I mean to siniMikn hnr." Jliss Shepard luterposed no objection, and she soon learned to oppose nothing that Fe licie said. Sho was so bright and so belp Jul I Jliss Shepard'a dull little bouse had never known any youthful merrlmont, and it warmed the poor old soul's heart to feel Felicie's actlve and magnetic young presence She sunned herself. as it were. ln Fnllntn' youthand beauty: and Felicle soon fnnnil herself to be the very apple of Jtlsa Shep ard's eye. She had begun her slnglng lessons the week after Thornton left, and might be heard trilllng and caroling down in Jliss Shepard's stuffy little parlor, and touching ugu. cuorus on niiss oueparu s wueezy old pfano, all day long. Nor did she forgot to learn some other thlngs, besldes. She never knew herself to be fond of books. Her life had been so hard and colorless that Bhe really did not know what she liked except singlng. Ilut she read with a steady purpose of Improvement vua. wornea wonuers. one bougul cop books, and changed her unformed, ohlldisl hand-wrltiuB for one f ull of vicor. She had a natural quickness in learning everythlng that belonBed to the domoatlo affafi and two years sllpped away In happiness and content that poor Felicie had uever urcauieu 01 About this time, when Felioie was twent ane saw aa aavertuement for a soprano one of the great clly chnrch cholrs. She de termlned to apply for lt, and without say ing a word to Jliss Shepard, she sllpped off and went lo the vestry-room where candl datos were being exaralned. ' When she found liemelf before so many strange persons, and saw the strange profes sor who preslded at the organ, her heart sunk but when at last "Jliss llrevard" was called forward, and she saw her famlliar notes, her volce rcturned to her, She had never felt moro mlstress of lier'elf. She sang with lnsplratlon. Her volce was so pure, and rlch, and beautlful ln tonn and compass, that she knew almost Intultlvely that she would aucceed. And, Indeed, about a week afterward, sho received a letter from the choir coramlttee, who, "having made inqulrles about her, and flndlng she was a suftable person, would be glad to have her accept tho place of flrst soprano. The salary would be flvohundred dollars,wlth theprlv llege of taking lessons from any professor she mlght select In the city, not to cost more than" ctc. Fellcie rushed up stalrs to show lt to Jliss Shepard. "Just think I Fivo hundred dollars I And only to sing for Itl And laisons from 11a rilli I What 1 have longed for and could not afford." Jliss Shepard looked at her ln dellghted surprlse. "Oh, Fellcle, dear, what wlll Jlr. Hussell say ?" " Don't you think he wlll like It 7" asked Fellcle, stopping ehort. " Of course he wlll, my darllng." "Thenlt's all right,'f said Felicle, sklp plng off to answer her letter. In a little whlle, Fellcle began to think she took a wlcked pleasure In her voice. She could not but ba proud of it. Sunday became a day of trlutnph to her. She felt that when she sung hersolos every note was listened to with dellghted attentlon; but she kept down her innocent, girllsh vanity by saylng ! " When Jlr. Thornton comes home, he wlll have heard so many fiuo volces that mine will be nothing to him ; and it he seea that I am vain of it, he wlll be utterly dis guited with me." She had been singlng ln the cholr one whole winler. It was the afternoon of Kaster Sunday, and the church was packed to hear Jliss llrevard sing. At last the service was over, the people had flockedout; thesexton would bearound Iti half an hour to lock up everythlng for the nlght. Felicie remained. When everyone had left the church she stole to the organ and began playing. Then she began to sing a slmple little hymn that Jliss Shepard had told her was a favorlte of Hussell Thornton's mother. " I never heard anybody but her sing it," she often said, as she heard Felicle singing it. She thought she was alone ln the great, dark church. while the twlllght shadows slowly crept in thestained glass windows; but there was Bomeone else tnere. A gentle man sat ln a corner of the church, who turned nround so as to face the choir. It was over in a few minutes. Felicie rose and made her way down the rlckety steps that led from the cholr gallery. When she got to the church door tbe gentleman came forward out of the dusk, and caught her two hands in hls. " Fellcle," was all he said. " I thought you were not comlng back for three years ; and now I am so startled." " Are you sorry, Felicie 7" "No," she said, boldly. They walked together towards Felicie's home in the soft spring eventide. " How gloriously you sing, Felicio I" said Thornton. " Uut do you know that little hymn you sang was my mother's hvmn 7" " I know it," said Felicie. " Jliss Shep ard told me so, and taught lt to me ; and I havo often thought that I would learn to sing much better than I do now and sing it to you." They lingered on the way home, so that Jliss Shepard was qulte miserable when they came in. " I knew something pleasant. was going to happen," Felicie said, "for I felt a bird singing lu my heart all day." In a week people were saylng : " Do you knpw that Hussell Thornton is going to marry that pretty girl, with the French name, that sings ln St. Feter's church 7 " The report was true. "Do brides ever select their wedding presents?" asked Felicie, just before they were married. " I don't know," said Hussell, laughing ; " but you may." " Then give me that head of Apollo. Oh, nat a lucky thing it was that I uncon- sclously stole itl " SCROFULA.

The London Telforanh cives averysucrees- tive humorous account of a drunken " spree" among geese, induced by eating brandled cherries. It appears that a farmer's wlfe in (iermany had been maklng some chorry- nrandy, hut as she lound durlntr the process that the fruit was unsound sho threw the whole mass out into the yard, when pres entlv her liock of treese came along and fell to eating the brandled cherries greedily. The narrative says: "The eflect of the spirituous frult was soon apparent, for, on trylni: to make the cate whlch led lrotn the scene of the debauch to the horsc-pond, they found everythlng airainst them. Whether a hlgh wind had got up, or what had hap pened, they could not tell, but it seemed to tbe f-eese as if tberewasan uncomonly lilh sea runnlng, and that the ground set in townrd them with a steady strong swell that was most etnbarrasslne to protrress. io escape these dillicultlei some lashed their rudders and hove to, others tried to run be- lore the wlnd, whlle the rest taeKed lor tne plg-stye. Hut there was no llving in such weather, and one by one the craft lurched over and went down all standing. Mean- whlle tne dame, the uuconsclous cause oi this disaster, was attracted by the nolse in the fowl-yard, and looking out saw all her ten geese behaving as if they were mad. i ne gander, usuauy so soiemn ana aecorotis, was balancinc hlmself on hls beak, and spin- Inc round the whlle ln a prodigtous nurry of feathers and dust, whlle the old gray goose, reniarkable even among her klnd for the clrcumsnection ot her conduct. was ryine stomach upward in the gtitter, feebly ges- ticuiallug wun her legs. utners oi tne party were no less conspicuous for the ex travagance of their attitudes and gestures, whlle the remalnder were to be seen lying in a helpless confuslon of feithers iu the lee scupper that ls to say, the eutter by the pig-stye." As the geeso In their drunken stupor appeared to be dead, their owner re solved lo save their feathers, and so had them "plcked, leaving their bare bodtes, supposed to be polsoned anu worthless, to be uuneu tue ut:-.b uiuriliu;. siui.af tue ciicuta of the brandy passed oit the plucked geese led anu awose to the ulstressmg reauty of their sltuation, asking to have their feathers put back again. The best the good woman could do for them, however, waa to gather them around her kitciten fire and " make them flinnel Jackets." The moral is that it is better for geese, as well as for human beiu'rs, to abstatn from brandled cherries and brandy, and that " If feathers are easy to get oit iney are naru to put ou.

Ilut when these belpers lound that this stanch young temperance matron would not luruisu tuein wntsKey, accortuug to tne cus tom then, they all nuit their work, leavlnc the logs only nuartered. Ilut true to her rlncliuea, anu nothing daunted, the eraud ittle woman herself took ur tho maul and alone spllt slxty rails. She says ; ' Every time I lifted the maul it was so heavy and I so slender its welght tiearly pulled me back- ward.' ' Are you not nroud lo think of lt now V asked her Blster, Mrs. llnyutou. Ohr answered Mrs. (iarfleld, ' I am asharued to think that men were ever such slaves to whlskey ' " JIk.

I am a dro ver, and I live mlles and mllas away, upon tho western pralrle. There wam't a lionse wlthln Blght when wo moved there, my wlfe andl; and now we have not many nelgli bors, though those we have are good ones. One day about ten yeara ago 1 went away from homo to sell some flfty head of cattle fine creatures as ever I saw. I was to buy some grocerlea and dry goods before I came iiacK, ann aoove an, a uou lor our youngasl Dolly j she never had a Bhop doll of her own, only the rag bablea her mother had made ner. uouy could talR ot nothlne II' else, and went down to the ver 'H to the verv p; gate to call after me, " Iluy a blg one." Nobody but a parent can understand how my mlnd was on that toy, and how, when thn cattle were sold, thr flrst thlng I hurrledoff lo buy was Dolly's doll. I found a large one, wllh eyes that would open and shut when you pulled a wire, and had it wrapped up in paper, and tucked lt uuder my arm, while I had the parcels of calico and delalne and tea and sug.tr put up. It might have been more prudent to stay untll morning, but I felt anxlons to get back, and eager to hear Dolly's prattU about the doll she was so anx lously expecting. I mounted on a steady going old horse of mlne, and pretty well loaded. Night set ln before I was a mlle from town, and settld down dark as pitch while I was in the raid dle of the wildest bit of tho road I know of. I could have felt my way through, I reraem bered it so well, and it was almost that when the storm that had been brewing, broke, and pelted the raln ln torrents,.five miles, or maybe sii, from home too. I rode on as fast as I could; but sttddenly I heard a little cry like a chlld's volce. I stopped ihort and listened. I heard It aeain. I called and lt answered me. I couldn't see a thing. All was dark as I got down and felt in the grais : called again, and again I was answered. Then I b"gan to wonder. i m not umia ; Dut i was Known to be drover, and to have money about me. I am not suprstltious not very but how could a real chlld be out on the pralrle in such a olght at such an hour 7 It might be more than human. The bit of a coward that hldes Itself in most men showed llsclf to me then, and 1 was half inclloed to rirn away, out once more I nearu tnatpiteous crv, and. iam i, "ii any man s cnnu is nereabouts, Anthonv Ilunt is not the man to let lt lie here to die. I searched acain. At last I bethought me of a hollow under the hlll, ind eroped that wav. oure enough I found a little dripplng thlng that moaned aud sobbed as I look it in my arms. I called my horse, aud the bast cane to me. and I mounted and tucked the little soaked thlng unuer my coat as weu as i coui i, promlsinir to take it home to its mamniy. It seemed tlred to death, and pretty soon cried itself to sleep agalnst my bosom. It had slfpt tnere over an hour, when 1 saw my own windows. There were liehts in them. and I suprosed mv wlfe had lit thm for mv aaice; out wuen i got into tne yara i saw sometniug was tne matter, and B'ood stlll with dead fear of heart five minute before I could lift the latch. At last I did it, and aw the room full of neltrhbors, and mv wife amid them weeplng. When she saw me she hid her face. "O don't tell him I" sho cried. "It will kill him." " What Is it, neighbors ?" I cried. And one said. "Nothlnu now. I hone, What's that In your arms ?" A poor lost ctilld." said I. " 1 lound lt on the road. Take it, will you ? I've turned fdint." And I lifted thesleeping thlng, atd saw the face of my own chlld, my little ujny. lt was my darlincr. and no other. that I had picked up upm the dreuched road. My little child had wand-red out to meet " daddy " and the doll, while her mother was it worK, and whom they were lamnting as )ue do id. 1 thanked God on mv ktiees be fore them all. It is not much of a story Uory, neighbors; but 1 think of it often in nlclits, and wonder how I could bear to live now If I had not stippsd when I hrd the cry for help upon the road the little babv- ory, hardly loudar than a squirrel's chirp. au, iriends, tne blesslngs ol our worK often come neirer to our homes than we ever dare to lnpe, Selectcd. Iloys, Iteail TMs. Many people seem to forget that charae- ter grows ; that it is not something to put on ready-made with womanhood or man- nooa ; nut nay uy day, nere a little ana there a little, grows with the growth, and strengthens with the strength,until, good or bad, lt becomes almost a coat of mail. Look at a man of business protnpt, reliable, con scientlous, yet clearheaded and energetic. When do you sunpose he developed all those admirable qualittes ? When he was a boy. I.et us see how a boy of ten years get-t up in the morning, works, plays, studies, and we will tell you just what klnd of a man he will matce. luetwy tnat is late at Dreaic fast, late at school, statids a poor chance to be a prompt man. The boy who neglects his duties, be they ever so small, and then excuses hlmself by saylng, " I forgot I I didn't think I" will never be a reliable man. And the boy who finds pleisure in the suf feriugs of weaker thiugs will never be a noble, generous, kind man a geutleman. Unruttan Jltlper, A Strange lllstorj. A klnd hearted sea-captain from Mill- bridge, Maine, sailing among the l'hilllplne Island', about two years ago, encountered a Spanish vessel whlch htd a strange looking child on board. She was a girl about ten years old, with coarso black halr aud cop-per-colored skin, and came from a race of cannibals livlng upon an island in the China Sea. Hsr parents olfred to have ber killed for the captaln's dlnner, but he preferred to take the child alive, and bought her for eight dollars. Shortly after he met the Maine vessel and gave the child to Cap tain Means who carried her to hls home. She had never worn a dress, eaten frnm a table. sat in a chalr. or lald ln a bnd. Wuen shoes were put ou her feet she was uuable to stand and had to be led about. At first she fied from every man iu terror, supposing be wlshed to euner kiii or seu ner.

A Moutreal mlllionalre, Ilarrisou Steveus, Kp, has recently died, who etigsged, when seventeen years old, with an older brother aud a com paniou to build twenty roda of the Cham plain caoal. At the end of a werk the others threw up the job in discouragenifiit, but Harrison perseTered and In duitime re ceived seventy-firo dollars. With a part of these first earuings, he tteppml into a itore ou hls way home and bought hls mother a dress. Jle ilnally became a large importer and trader in Moutreal, but, so long as they llved, his parents received ftom him every atteutlon.
