A blue sky, and a blue sea, and a large white 'house facing it in front, a stretch of firm, gray sands, upon which the waves kept up an eternal whispering behind, a grove of orange trees, the subtle fragrance of whose blossoming tilled the summer air with a ilrozy content. In tlie front of a piazza of this house stood, one summer morning, a very beautiful woman calru browed, with great pensive eyes, and a face and form almost faultily "faltk'ss. Her dress was of some thin texture, of a pale violet color, and jhe great crimson flowers of a tropical vine, which trailed over ami under and round every inch of support the piazza could yield, threw its rosy shaddow over her. Jlcautiful exceedingly, she was yet p:iMon:itc and proud, and utterly ig norant of ''the rich blessings of con straint;"' for her will had always been to all within her home theyca and nay froni which there wa3 no appeal. All who knew her sravc the homairc of im plicit obedience all stive one; and for tins rebellion and watched. subject she now waited Poou -he saw hi in coining; his pow erful black horse devouring the dis tance with eager steps, until the' stood under the locust tree, white with drooping sweetness, that shadowed the gates of the main avenue. Here j John Hereford stopped and tied his ! hrsc in their shadow, and then look- eil lovingly, longingly, toward the wo 1 man watching him from under the green piazza. lie was worth watch ' ing. this John Hereford; handsome enough to match even Kuby Hac's J beauty: a wise young gentleman in wlioc character there wa-i no scam. They had loved each other long, but the course of their love had nof run "-inooth. First, Uubv's father died, then the war interfered, and now pov erty lay like a cold, dark shadow twecn them. Uoth had been rich, be- i ind ' both were now poor, and between that had and now lay mUcrie and sorrows and disappointments enough to have tamed less confident siiirits. For some time it had been hard for either of them to realize the change that had fallen on their lives. John had come back from the camp with a linn trust in his own particular section, and its ability somehow to tind a liv- inr for him. Itubv had never believed it possible that any of her requests i would be denied by the tradesmen of the little town which had for so many years seemed only to exist in ordr to serve the Kae plantation. Both were deceived, and it did not take John long to decide on his future course He de termined to go bravely to work at whatever he could find to do, and noth ing better offering, he accepted the po sition of overseer to the stranger who had bought his father's estate. Ruby was outraged, indignant, not to be reasoned with, or entreated. She declared their engagement broken, and passionately threw at his feet the opal rin'i John liad given her. Ihi was jrfull year ago, and since then they had not spoken. John had toiled hard in the fields and over the books of the old familiar estate, and Ruby had shut herself up with her ' nride anil the two old ncjrro women who remained fathful to her. Both had suffered. There were anxious lines on John's face, and Ilitby's eyes told a tale of sacrifice. But John's sufferinjr had brouirht its reward: his conscioiitioiU, careful toil had the respect of his employer, and he I won had offered him a vcrv fine position which he commanded in New York The salary was large enough, John ! tiiotiirnt, to marrv on ; hence he had , written to Rtiliv to ask her for this in i tcrview. John foresaw. that it was not destined to ho a hanpy one when she did not conic walking -down the avenue to meet him, as had been her custom in happier davs. He could not tell how much this sacrifice to her pride cost her, and so he said, rather bitterly, as he held out his hand : 'A cold grcetinp. Ruby.'' "Such as you have stinted me to, John. It is not my fault that I cannot inert you as an equal." "1 liave left the old Hereford Place forever. Ruby, so that question is not worth disciisinr now. A very line situation, with an excellent salary, has been o tiered me in Xew York: I came to ak you once more to share it." "Eat the bread of service! "Vo. thank you, John. My little property in the village buys nic bread and lmislin dresses. Mammy Ran n and Aunt Sallie raise chickens and vegetables, and this poor roof still shelters me. I prefer poverty and respectability." "Say pride, Ruby a po'or. miserable pride, which offers on its cruel altar not only your own youth and beauty, but also the happines- of one who has loved you ever since he can remember. We have hardly borne this years sep aration, broken as it has been by an occasional sight of each other. I am going away to-morrow. If we meet no more, how are you going to comfort yourself for my loss. Ruby?" "Do you flatter yourself. John, that you are then really necessary to its comfort?" "Ye. I do. Ruby: elc you were the falsest as well as the most foolish of women. How often have vou told me so? Oh, Rub . darling! don't waste both of our live.-for a sentiment that ha no meaning in the new order of thing with which we must now grap ple." w l And her keen, stinging an-wer. o utterly foolUJi and futlic, her cruel, doubtful little hjieechf. brought at length on her wi at ihe rirhh deerved, plain. uueiuivoMl truth." For once -he iitiailed before the iinpas-ioned. lovlrj r j.-ntr who Le"d hir t'.iu hands, and looked into her face with those open, clear gray eyes. They parted without hope and with-, out promise. John went to hi new life haunted by that last miserable look which Ruby cbuld not quite suppress; and she shut close the doors of her house and heart, and thought she had left her love lying dead outside. In the battle of life John soon found that the first step toward command ing one's destiny was to command one's spirit; so he bravely let the dead past bury its dead, and bent all his great natural powers to new duties. Kuby and he seemed to be as effectually sun dered as if death, and not pride, had "put them apart." Thus four years had passed away, each one drifting them further apart. For John's friends had gradually fol lowed his example, and scattered them selves far and wide from the little southern village which could no lon ger give them a subsistence; while liu uy, more and more offended at a socie ty which was rapidly assimilating it- sen to tlie new order ol things, retired altogether from it. In 1870 6he stood where she did in 1860, a relic of a class which will soon be a tradition. Most of her friends had accepted cheerfully (or otherwise) the situation. Sonio were teachinir. some "takimr boarders" and a few had married men who, ac- according to Ituby's code, "were not gentlemen." She, with a courage and firmness which ought to have had a better object said to all manner of happiness ''I can do without thee," and lived in perfect isolation and seclusion. And if people arc determined to be recluses, the world bus not time to convert them. Unity's acquaintances wondered, expostulated and then forgot her. A joyless life is worse to bear than one of active grief, and Itubv often found herself pitying her owii heart. In the lonely, dilapidated splendor of her honc. she sat mostly silent. There was no bliss coming for her to run and greet, and a still, passionless look set tled over the face once so radiantly beautiful. Then, one hot summer's night, her summons into the very thickest of life's conflict came. There was a sudden light, which gathered, spread and till ed the air with heat and smoke. The village was on tire. Jsrigliter every minute grew the flames, and through that clear atmosphere, though two miles distant, she could hear the cries and shouts of those fighting the fear ful foe. Iluby's heart kindled: it burnt with in her. Her cheek flushed; her eyes tilled. Before she could think or rea son, she had saddled her marc, and was Hearing the burning village. In among the wailing, excited frightened crowd she rode. Their vei weakness devel oped all the strength of her woman hood. In half an hour she had got wag ons for the children, and had sent them to the shelter of her own large empty home. The very atmosphere, by some subtle, spiritualchcmistry, evolved all the latent spirit of her nature. She was calm and sensible, full of wise and pru dent suggestions, which eventually re sulted in puttingastop to the confla gration. When the daylight broke she found herself black with smoke, scorch ed with the flames, and absolutely pen niless for her little property lay in ashes before her. At once she realized that her drcamv. sellih, lazy life was over. She had not a dollar to rebuild the houses whoe rent had been her whole support, and her own home was mortgaged to its full value. She knew well that she had long been a tenant at the will and gen erosity of her father's old friend. Emer gencies are prompt and rapid counsel ors. She determined to leave as soon as possible for Xew York, and earn there her own living. If any hopes connected with John Hereford influ enced this decision, she never acknowl edged them to her own heart. I should like to ias over the next eight montcs of Ituby's life, and indeed I Minll not go into detail. Imagine a woman so proud and so Ionelv. so niex perieuced and bo poor, flung all ntonec i upon ncr own resources: j jay aner nay week after week, saw the sainc dispir iting search after employment, with a constantly depleting purse and ward robe.

M--J 1 ., I eight hours' labor, miserable he pit- i """' .ni -in.iiiii . an nit ' tanec she was to receive iin return, and in the meantime ner nuances did not always allow her to indulge in two meals a day. This abstinence, with the confine ment and exhaustive labor, soon told distressingly both on her feelings and appearance, fcne suffered so mucn that she began to be afraid of her own pale, thin face, and the hungry look in her i eyes, and she often found herself won dering it shesfioiild die whether John would find her out and bury her de centljf. But when it i dark enough the stars shine on trainl one miserably cold night, as she was feebly makiiur her way tin i Broadway, almost fainting from ex- haustion. some one put his hand upon , ner siioiutier, aim louMiifi into ner eyes, said, with a voice tremulous with love and pity, "Oh, Ruby! Ruby! Darling:" She knew at once that it was John, but she was too faint and feeble to do more than smile sadly and put hands in his. He called a carriage, and lifting her tenderly in. drove to a restaurant. Then he gave her wine and food, and . she was far too hungry and too humble now to do anything but accept them gladlv. In the communing that follow ed this reunion, no stranger can inter meddle. John urged a speedy mar riage, and Ruby gratefully accepted the love and protection which she once so scornfully rejected. For poverty i a great teacher, though it does take marvelously high wages. It humbles the proud, and adds freh grace unto the humble. It teaches the right names and the just value of men and things, and by it "God reaches Us good things withour own hands." It proved a veiled angel to Ruby Rae. and only humbled that it might exhalt her. For when she saw the beautiful home which John; industry aud fru gality had provided for her, she ac knowledged with bitter regret how shamefully she had circumstanced the grand old name of gentleman: while her own experience among the struggling i intelligent poor nan latigui ncr mat no ; good man or woman, however indigent, ami no honest calling, however humble is "common or unclean. Diarrhea Cure. A correspondent of the Xew York Tribune prescribes the following as a sure cute for dysentery and diarrhea : Take Indian (or corn) meal, make it into a thick gruel, cook it thoroughly, sweeten with sugar or molases to tate. and grate a little uutmeg into it: it i then ready for use. If taken at the commencement of the disease, a pint bowl of the gruel usually effects a cure It is best to use the gruel in place of the regular meals. Objections may lie made to the corn meal, that it is loos ening: so i cater oil or other phy-ic which i taken to work off a disease, and it is certainly more pleas ..: to tac tcan caster oil or puis A Sad History. In the year 1841 there lived in the city of Rochester a young lady of edu cation and refinement, about twenty years of age, engaged as a teacher in one of the schools ol that city. She became acquainted with a gentleman of fine address, an Englishman by birth, who was connected with a fam ily of high official position in Canada. He kept one of the largest dry goods stores in the city of Rochester at that time. After a suitable time, they were married in one of the Episcopal churches of that city, and her. friends considered the match a good one, but it was soon found that he had been in the habit of visiting the drinking and gambling houses of the city, until he had acquired irregular habits. De rangements of business and financial ruin came upon him and he failed. Picking up the fragments as best he could, he removed to the city of Buffa lo, where he resided until the year 1855. At that time they had five chil drenthree sons and two daughters. The dissipated habits of the husband had continued to increase from year to year, until the health of the wife broke I down, she became enfeebled in body arid mind, and she was removed to the lunatic asylum at Bloomington, Xew York, for medical treatment. The hus band took ins family of small children and moved to a distant state no one Knew wnerc. After a year or more, no one appearing to pay the bills of the institution, she was turned over to tlie superintendent of the poor of the city of Xew York, who transferred her to the citv asylum ou Blackwell's island. Here she was surrounded bv insane persons of every grade, amidst thou sands of convicts the offscdurings of Xew York city. Here she remained, cut off from all her friends and her children, unknown to all of them, until the year 1870, when she succeeded in getting a letter to a distant relative in Massachusetts. A correspondence en sued, and in the spring of 1871 the writer, accompanied by a friend, vis ited he- in her confinement.

A correspondent of the Chicago Tri bune writes from Salt Lake City, un der date of June 5th : A few of the Mormon women at the temple on Sunday were well dressed, but most of them were noorlv. and , someofthcui even meaulv clad. Not so with the (.'entile women. Just to the left of me sat a ladv blazing with diamonds, and I was informed that she came from Boston.

How could n Mormon hii's- band tuck the anus of half a dozen wives into his ? And if he escorted one, or even two wive, how would the rest feel 'i I am told that Mormon men arc much troubled about how they shall dress their wives. Mormon women, of course, see their Gentile- sisters clad in rich drcses, cut in. the latest style, and, woman-like. Mormon ladies want fashionable drecs- es too. While a man can afford to dress one woman well in these davs, it by I no means lollows that he can keep half a dozen, and hence the trouble of the . Mormon centleinnn who wnnrts hn. rma ThV. ,io,-0 r i.r.,-.... i profit from woman's labor in rnh nn ! over. Formerly, when all worked thi more wives a Mormon had the richer he was ; but now the more he has the , . poorer he will tind himself. lx:t Brig ham proclaim that Mormon women ' i shall go back to homespun and see , what comes of it. Many wealthy and 1 liberal-minded ffcntiles magnanimous ly declare that, rather than sec the Mormon ladies do without them, they win uieniseivcs liny the richest silks and atins for them' This is generous but would hardlv meet with thcappro- bation of the ladies' husbands or Brie- ham. A voung Gentile, of good busi- ness nuali'ties and mrxlprato fortune who was paving attention to a vonng Mormon ladv, when cautioned bv his . i . .. . t . . mends, exclaimed, "D n it. why should I not have the girl if I want her? I am able to keep her, and these Mormons have more wives than they can clothe decently." There wa a good deal of truth in the remark. If I wanted to break down Mormonism I would put a dozen French milliner- stores in Salt Lake City ; give General Morrow, the mili tary commander. $lo,0U0 or J-20,000 to entertain with during the winter, and station a strong corps of good-looking young army officers at Camp Douglas. Printer's Jokes. It is a practice among waggish print- er3 wi,en a 'crreen 'un" enters the office ai! devil to play jokes on htm by send ing him on an errand to a neighboring oflice for something that he would be sure not to tind. and he return- with some strange thing or other, thinking that in printer's phrase he ha got what he was ent for. A joke of this kind was recently perpetrated in a neighboring town. A boy who was rather "verdant" went to learn the printing businc4. and one of thejours, loving sport, tent him one day with a dish to a certain editor to borrow "'a gill of editorial." The editor, under standing the game, returned the pic ture of a jacka. The firt one finding himelf rather "come over," t hi wit to work to think how he could be even with the other. At Iat he called the lad and told him to go and tell the editor that "it was editorial that he winted, and not the editor A Woman in m, Tnrkiah Bath. M. II. B.. the sprightly lady corres pondent of the Jfiisou'ri Republic, has been taking a Turkish bath in "Sew York, and don't like it. Ilerc'a what she says of it: Ve were divested of crcrv stitch of our clothing, our ring and bracelets locked up, ourback hair taken of, our own special possession of seventy-five or a hundred hair? made into a 'little hirsute pill and impaled with a hair pin. That was the onlv token of civil ization we boasted. The procession formed. At the door we were handed a miniature sheet and a little bit of sponge wet with cold water. Through a passage to a room, where we drop ped our sheets and entered a vapor that clothed us decently. I wonder the Illustrated Police dasette or the Day' Doings haven't hit on this business for illustration. Well, in this steam I thought I should suffocate. It poured up and down through holes till it was dreadful. The use of the wet sponge, I have ascertained, was to put on the top of your head to prevent "coup de steam," or some such dire com plaint. They would't let me out, and the temperature got worse and worse, and I began to think of my mother and an obituary notice in the Republican, when we were pronounced cooked enough, and let out into a room in which was a mighty tank of cold water, through which vou must wade or swim as you could. Caesar's ghost ! I flew through it. My anatomy and physiology were heated to a boiling foint. This water seemed like ice. t sent the blood rushing to my hollow head (I'm convinced I have no brains,) and my heart come kerflop up ana went kerchunk down. I made up my mind this was the worst of it, anil tried to be resigned. 1 had been soap ed and scrubbed in the vapor room till I was scarified. I stood on the brink and watched my companions splashing through the infernal tank. One of 'em, to expedite her own release, cought at my ancle ; away went my soapy, slippery feet from under me, and in I went for a second time. How near an end was the happy connection between M. II. B. and the St. Louis Re publican. At the next stage of this truly awful experience we received the ''shower. I dad now become convsneed that I should never sec home or friends again. In a calm despair I walked through a solid colnmc of water that nearly broke my back, and just here I got mad. The fat attendant hasn't yet recovered sufficiently to make a complaint, and when the thin woman went before Judge Dowling, that gentleman said it was a conspiracy; that no woman of my size, unaded, coald do such dam age. He told the woman to go home and say nothing about it; for she had evidently been dreadfully drunk, and undertaken to walk through a carpet cleaning machine. And that's the first and last Russian bath I take. A Baby Soliloquy. I am here, and if this is what they call the world, I don't think much of it.

Of course noone could c! ject to such an invitation on such a visit. Our people were iniormea anu believed that it wm attempted to in- duce the Wichita excursionist to leave here shortly after their arrival, and this apparent breach of courtesy they naturally resented- Col. Dawes fur ther states that be bad no traiu over the river for the excuriioaUt, but in tended, in case they accepted the St Joe invitation, to have one sent down the next day. This explanation ought to be satis factory to every one, aad convince our people that no iiaeoartwy wa thought of or attempted. The teeling the aiair created evidently arose from aa entire misunderstanding. Atchison Cham pion, t IceCream.

The drive of this class of cattle, although larger than that of beeves, is not over one third so great at last year, and inasmuch as no stock cattle are driven Ih the fall, the supply must, and will prove less than the demand before the season closes. Hence, we confidently predict that those who intend purchasing this class of stock can do it at lower prices with in the next thirty days than can be done afterwards.

Long Island has land, harbors, re sources, and capital enough to make a great maratime republic. It is divided into only three counties, of which Kings, the seat of Brooklyn citv, is is only twelve miles by seven, ana yet contains 420,000 people ; while SofToIk, which comprises two-thirds of the island, and is 110 miles by 20, contains only 45,000. The middle county of Queens has 70,000 people. The county scats arc Brooklyn, Hempstead anil Hiverhead. Here, then, are 535,000 people, or more than in Arkansas, or Delaware, or Florida, or Kansas, or Minnesota, or Nebraska, or Nevada, or New Hampshire, or Oregon, or Khodc Island, or Vermont, or West Virginia. All our territories' added together do not equal the population of Long Island. It is twelve times greater than Nevada, but it never expects to get even one United States senator.
