A LEOEKDl L ? ? VrS Once upoj>:a ' aide t^e "Rhliij lady. She ha* her, and w horn1 ?But, after he h& year, but tbroc ry him; and *{$ power, iDt-roij * "I have^ said; but at ybtf'i once Ifcore?-uist i /T i not ony to mat low her soldiery ed the.P by the t lore Ho aflfur feet, and took hor .hands in his, and said: Lady, I have tiome back to ciaiui you for my wife." "Wait longer; a patient waiter ia no loser." "I will wait two yeara longer," he said, calmly. "If I do not lose all is well." Then he left her again. She had hoped that he would plead for her, and that she would be forced to change her mind; but now he was gone, gone for two long years. How she lived through them shecould not tell; but they passed, and again her lover was before her. ?'I have waited patiently," was all he said. The lady yearned to cast herself in to his arms, but pride was strong within her. "Wait longer," she said. "No," he answered, "this is the last timo. If I wait now, I will wait for ever." At this she drew back haughtily. "Then wait forever," she said cold Jy- . ? . lie left her Without a word. And now hor heart sank in her bosom.? She wept bittor tears, and repented in dust and ashes.- Whenayearhad gone by, she could bear her woe no -longer, and sent her little foot^pago to her old lover, bidding him bear this iqessaKo: But the message the li too brought was just this: "Wait." Again she was left to her sorrow, and two years glided by; thon once more she bade her page ride aver the mountains to hor lover's castle. ? "Tell him I am waiting," she said. The page rode away and then rode back. He stood beforo his lady and doffod his cap, and repeatod the mes sage that had been given him: "The patient waiter is not a losor." "He is punishing me," the lady thought, and for two years longor she remained in hor castle. Her heart was breaking-her health failed? know deatli was near. she sent her lover a mes "Toll him," she said, "that I am near my end, that if I wait longer before I see him I shall wait forover." The page returned, and stood be side his lady's chair. His eyes wore full of tears; his head w^s bent upon his breast; ho sighed and hid his face in his plumed cap. The lady lifted hor wan face. "Speak!" she said. "The message!" "Alas!" sighed the page; "I would it wero a more tender ono." "Whatever it may ie,' speak!" gasped the lady. "Tho only message that I havo," replied the page, is, "Waft forever!" "I am woll paid in my own coin," said the lady. "At last I have re ceived all my own answers back." In a little while she died, and they buriod hor in the old church yard, with a stone at her head and a stone at her feet. When spring came there was grass upon the gravo, and there also was a now plant strango to those who looked upon it; a plant with dark, glossy leaves that crept slowly but suroly ulong, clutching fast to every rough surface it met. Thore had never been a plant like that on earth before. Now wo call' it the ivy, but this is what thoso who saw it for the first time said of it: "It is tho lady whom^her lover bade to wait forever. IT this form she is creeping toward his castle slowly but surely. So s?e will creep on until she reaches the heart she throw away." Generations have palsed from earth. Tho castle is a ruiiij covered with ivy, and the peasants-will toll you that it hai<.crept there from the lady's gravo, point by ^poijit, over stone and rock, througE the grave vard and over gates and -fences.? Ypu can trace it if you Choose, thfcy my, but you riot trv. , Q 'Photographing Under Water. The-recentTay bridgedlsustor nat OraJly-turncd the attention of pho tographers to ways and means of staking photographs of the submerged carriages and girders. If tho water is clear enough for the eye of the, di ver to discern the wreckage iyingon the bottom, it is also clear enough to allow of pictures forming with'in the -camera. The idea of photographing ifioder wate'a ia not a new one, and ^ias been frequently- discussed; but <fy,Baltics Have arisen from the fact thatjsioiographere being unacouB MjBtojtto diving, cannot accompany Tto^Rre necessary t<j steady apparatus, which a skillful diver may be able to manipulate. Two Scotch photographers have de vised apparatus answering tho pur pose, and one of them has taken sever al photographs in the Frith of Clyde, noar Gourock. Ouo view represents a sandy bottom, with a number of huge boulders shaggy with sea-weed strewed around, together with an old aucbor. The camera is inlcosed in a water-tight case, and fixed to a load ed tripod, which is lowered into the water. When the latter has reached its position on the bottom the camera cover is withdrawn by means of a pull-cord; but electricity could bo utilized for this manouver. Apart from its value in accurately portray ing submerged structures, the now appliance would bo very useful on deep-sea expeditions, for taking pic tures of coral reefs and othor wonders of the deep. How To Be Beautiful. Curls and cosmetics are all in req uisition to enhance tho beauty of "tho human faco divine," but what is the result? Youth's roses only flee the faster?old ago will creep on apace; rougo cannot hido its wrink les, nor can it mako any face beau tiful. Wo are decided believers in tho old adage, "Handsome is that handsome does." No facc has truo beauty in it that docs not mirror tho ;4e?ds of Uynoblo 8o0l.-?33tv.t|fciH. n<y a thought, word or deed .that does not leave its autograph written on the human countenance; and wo care not whether kjnd natiiro has given her child air ugly face or a handsome one, if the heart that boats underneath ull iq, warm and loving. And, if the soul that looks out from the eye be true and pure, that faco will be beautiful always, for it has found the true fountain of youth; and, though time may fold tho hair injjilver, and furrow the brow, yet thero will ever bo a beauty lighting it up that years cannot dim, for the heart and soul never grow old. Inebriated Apes. The learned author of the Descent of Man, in noticing that animals of ten suffor from diseases that afflict ourselves, might havo added thai, in some cases, they are not free from our vices also. According to a recent letter from Darfur, in Africa, the monkeys of that region are inordi nately fond of a kind of beer made by tho natives who use the beverage to capture their simial poor relations. Having placed quantities of the beer whoro tho monkeys can get it, the natives wait until their victim's are in various degrees of inebriation, and whon they mingle with them, the poor creatures are too much fuddled to recognize the difference between negro and ape. When tho negro takes the hand of ono of them to lead him ofl, some other fond creature clings to tho hand of the latter one, another to his hand, and thus a sin gle negro may sometimes bo seen car rying off a string>of staggerina?mon keys. When sbcurod tho beor is administered in decreasing quanti ties, bo that they may only gradually awakon to the sad result of their spree. Thero are two amendments to the Constitution to be votod on at the October election. As no political quostion is involved in, eithor of them, a vote for or against them can not bo mado a politioal test. Many Democrats will vote for one or both of the amendments and many Repub licans on the opposite side. Thj amendments were submitted to tho people by a Democratic Legislature; but a discussion of their morits should be kept abovo party. The Domocratio campaign fires are ar<> burning brightly in Indiana.? Ojer.two hundred campaign speeches wore mado in that State Saturday f bight. t ; ' v Wh5ftl<lfte Ua btMappolutuieut. Life is a disappointment, chiefly because those who are starting in it overestimate their own strength and underrate that of their competitors. Self-sufficiency and ignorance fire the pipneers of defoatod expectations.? The looker-on is not disappointed; it is the actor who is. Overweening self-con Science refuses to see difficult ies; and thus the preparation which might ovorcomo them is neglected. The defeat is. crushing, because it was deemed impossible. Presumpt ion apd arrogance have burned the bridges, and havo loft no opportsni ty to gather the shattered forces by j retreat. Tljere seoms to be no help ttrast. learn, for itself. There ii.'jfl point where teaching ends anil ex perience begins. It is this which j has set bounds to human knowledge, i No man can take up the work of an-1 other. Where it has been left there | it must romain. Tho father cannot i give or bequeath tho child his exper-1 ience, as he can his property. Men j may vaunt themselves as they will, j but there is limit tothoir power; and i that limit seems in some cases to have been reached in one man ? | Shakespeare and Bacon have had no successors. No man has been able to take up their work where they loft it. So far as men's efforts are con corned their works are completed ? As they left them so they remain No man has yet appeared who, can j equal what they have done, much less improve upop it., As far as we know, they, reachod the liymit of man's power in the direction in) which thoy taught. Ihe child mUBt mistake the road just as the parent mistook it, and loam what is the right road only when too old and i weary to walk in it. And perhaps it is well that it is so. The wisdom! of age and the form of youth cannot be joined in beauty. Could tho | young know their true strength, and foroseo the difficulties they have to encounter, they would not fall by the way, but would faint in the be ginning. Favorable circumsVtnccs bear men onto fortune to a gteatcr ing to admit* In 'my own profess ion, those, who have achieved success in tho early part of their career have fallen heir to tho practice of a father or a preceptor. The inheritor of a practice is a whole generatipn ahoad of him who is the founder of ono. Thoro is a building which overy one .is putting up, young and old, each for himself. It is a poworful and durable, as well as influential structuro, called character. Every groat or small act is a parts of its material. If day by day we are care ful to build it with puro motives and noblo deeds, wo will have at our end a beautiful temple honored of God and man. One leak will sink a vos sel, ono flaw will break a chain, so will one misdeed, or unworthy act in ono's life cause injury to, or mar his character. Henco we should earn estly and nobly strive that the deeds of eaoh day be upright, truthful and honest, that ono by ono they may add to the completion of our build ing, which will stand, at last, as a beautiful edifice, to our glory and re nown. General Hancock's declaration that "the bayonet is not a fit instrument for collecting the votes of freemen" is in most happy contrast with the recent uttoranco of a ponderous Re publican organ that "the presonCe of troops at tho polls gives a sense of security to tho legal voters." The people can bo safely trusted to decide which of these conflicting policies should bo endorsed. Gen. Goff is roported to have ap pealed to tho Republican conference, at New York, for money to assist the down-trodden Republicans of West Virginia in their fight with the Ku Klux and night-ridersl It is roport ed that he got tho money. It is said that 83,000 has already reached this Congressional district. Chairman Barnum, of the Demo cratic National Committee, has been interviewed in New York, and de clares Vila strong belief that the Democracy will carry Indiana with out much difficulty. He asked a Cincinnati belle if thoro was much refinement and cul ture in that city, and she replied, "You just bet your boots we're a cul tured crowd." Sensibility is like the stars; they can loud only when the sky is clear. Reason is the magnetic needle when the skies urc wrupt in darkness.
