LOVING, BUT UNLOVED,
Oat from his palace home
He came to my cottage door:
Few were his looks and words,
Bat they linger for evermore.
The smile of his sad bine eyes
Was tender as smile could be
Yet I was nothing to him,
Though he was the world to met
Fair was the bride he won,
Yet her heart was never his own:
Her beauty he had and held,
Bat his spirit was ever alone.
I would havebeen his slave,
With a kiss for my life-long foe
Bat I was nothing to him,
While he was the world tomo I
To-day, in his stately home,
On a flower-strewn bier he lies,
With the drooping lids -*ast closed
O'er the beautiful sad blue eyes.
And among the mourners who mourn
I may not a mourner be
For I was nothing to him,
Though he was the world to me I
How will it be with onr souls
When they meet in the better land
What the mortal could never know,
Will the spirit yet understand?
Or, in some celestial form,
Most the sorrow repeated be,
And I be nothing to him,
While he dims heaven for met

er eter heard of jit, or would have oared
for it jf shf had, or that she had. the
least idea that she was stamping her
child's destiny in naming her., by its
name bat she did, and so gate rise to
apecnliar little conversation between
Mar,k and Millard Vane, the while
they sat at breakfast in the comfortable,
baohelor establishment ot the former,
and reunited the bonds of brotherly
love somewhat strained by a ten years'
absence of the latter in the realms that
lie beneath onr feet.
"And now I suppose yon feel as if
yon had soen everything that is worth
seeing on this ndioulous little globe of
ours," said Mark, folding his napkin
with sedulous care, and yet with a
slight trepidation of manner.
"Hum—well, 1 don't know.
yon wish me to quote Ulysses to theyoung
effect that I have traveled observant
through foreign climes, and taught me
other tongues have seen men and
things innumerable, but yet—"
"Have not seen Bosetta Stone," in
terposed Mark, with a laugh that was
evidently forced.
"The Bosetta Stone, my dear doy
exclaimed Millard, coming briskly
back from the little reminiscent reveno
toward whioh he had been tending, and
looking at his brother wish consider
able surprise. "The Bosetta Stone has
been for the last year my chief object
spring was to have a lew months more
study of it."
"You could have studied to more
advantage here," interrupted Mark,
ones more, with a sheepish smile.
"Nonsense, Mark. Exeuse me, old
fellow,-but how could I study the
Bosetta Stone any where so well as at
the British Museum There are en
gravings, to b* sure, and very accurate
pictures."
"I wish I had one," muttered Mark.
"Do you, though I'm very, happy
hear yon say so, for I took great
pains to seoure one of the finest. I'll
get it for you."
?No, Millard—you don't understand"
—but Millard had already left the
room, and Mark, with a nervous little
laugh, remained drumming upon the
table with his fingers until the return
of his brother, who spread before -him
an engraving 'representing an oblong
blaok stone upon whose surface
were ^represented a series of
characters in ,s three separate
groups, differing indeed in their na
ture, but all equally vague and mean
ingless to the bewildered eyes of Mark
Vane, who, nevertheless, bent low his
head in pretended scrutiny.
"It's ascurato, you may depend on
that, MaTk. I took it to the Museum,
and with a strong magnifying glass
went -over the whole inscription letter
by letter, line by line, figure by figure.
It's as good for all practical purposes as
the Stone itself."
"It's very curious, I dare say but
here's a sketoh of the Rosetta Stone,
whioh I prefer to yours, with its mys
terious inscriptions,'* replied Mark hand
ing to his brother a drawing.
"Why, Mark, this is the portrait of a
woman 1"
•'That is plain enough but it's my
Rosetta Stone for all that."
"Oh, her name ia Rosetta Stone, is
it
"At present, yes but I hope it
will soon be changed to Rosetta Vane."
"I congratulate you, Mark. But who
is tho lady?"
"You remember old Jacob -Stone
"What, you don't mean that crabbed,
vulgar old man, who swore thai we
robbed his pear-tree, and got us a
most unmerited flogging Yon don't
mean—-" ". .,-, 5
"I Temember," interposed Mark,
laughiog. "If we didn't deserve the
flogging for robbing the pear-tree, we
richly earned it by our subsequent an
noyances of the old fellow, so we may
fairly ery quits. But Jaoob is dead."
"And this Rosetta—?"
"Is the daughter ot David Stone,
only son of our old enemy. Don't you
remember hearing that he had a son at
the West 1"
"Yes."
"Well, last year, just after old
Jacob's death, his widow sent for me
to oome and see her. I went, and
found her in mnoh perplexity over a
letter written by some Wisconsin doctor
I to inform her that her son and his wife

child, who WB to be sent East as soon
as the neoesary funds were forward

"Why sholJ tho old woman send

"Because a this part of the country
we who hav« money consider it an
acknowledge doty toholp our poorer
neighbors."
"And so yq—"
"Wrote be letter—inoloBcd the
money."
"I see," relied the elder, dryly, as,
plunging his lands deep into his trows
era pooketsfcb walked to the window
and looked vcantly aoross the Hud
son, Bpasklin in the mellow sunlight.
"Well emanded he at last, wheel*

"Well, I.wat to see how they got on,

whose mind, flection seemed to pro
duce no mollifcing influence.
"Inwords,No ., in manner, Yes.
And I mean to sty in words what I

my only brother, What do SQU think
"I think she irould marry you, orget
any other man your position."
'"Why shouldyou so insult both me
and the woman of whom you know
nothing, exceptthat she is my chosen
wife 1" demandid Mark, rising indig
nantly.
"Insult 7 I lon't desire to iqsult
either of you, my dear boy, but you
must remember that, besides being five
years your Besior, I have seen and
studied at lea* five hundred times as
many men and women as you, and am
not so easily led away by romantic Reel
ing. You say I know nothing of .this
woman.', I know that she is the
grand-daughter of a crafty, vulgar:old
miser that in til probability her fath
er and mother were of the same
stamp and that if human nature is the
same in this case as in most others,
she would marry gladly and eagerly
any man who could make her mistress
of the Eyrie."
/'You. do her injustice, bitter injus
tice indeed you do," expostulated
^ark, half eagerly, half angrily.,
Millard-, without reply save a signi
ficant smile, took from his pocket a
microscope, opened, and adjusted it,
and bent overt ilyj nreoiqus enntay
tion,
"Yes," half grumbled Mark, after
watching him lor a moment, "you can
pore over that ^stupid old stone, with
its inscription that never meant any
thing in its best days, and now is past
finding oat altogether, year after year,
and think your time well bestowed
but fancy yourself oapable of reading
the character of this young girl, whose
only crime is being Jacob Stone's
grand-daughter, without ever having
seen her."
"My dear Mark, if I could only find
as simple and universal a rule to apply
to my inscription as to your lady-love's
mind, I should have no need to study
longer over the one than the other."
"And by what rule do you measure
Rosetta's mind?" asked Mark, still
angrily. -o^-*^
"By the rule of self-interest. A rule
that will gange all the uneducated hu
man nature with which I ever came in
contact," returned the philosopher,
•golly, and, still scanning his hiero-

"Come, come, Mark, don't say it.affecting

his returning-breath. "Will you come

"Not 1 1 And yet," continued the
young cynic, after a moment's consid
eration, "I have no doubt that if I
oould Bee her off her guard, and unre
strained by your presence, I could in a
very short -time open your eyes to the
probable fact of her being Jacob Stene's
worthy descendant."
"I will pledge my life upon her
truth 1" asserted Mark, stoutly.
"Come, then I will, for your sake,
give up a week to this experiment,"
sighed Millard, wearily.
"A week, no you wonld then say
your experiment failed tor want of time.
You shall have three weeks in which
to study her and you shall at the end
of the first week give me your opinion
in writing of her exterior manners and
appearance,: that will answer to the
Greek inscription on your own Rosetta
Stone, which he who runs may read.
At the end of the second week you
shall'translate to me her mind, com
paring and collating it with your first
impression, as you pretend to decipher
tho enchorial sentence here by aid oftne
tho Creek. You see I know somewhat
of your jargon. Finally, at the end of
the third week, you shall give me a
elear reading of the heart and soul of
this young girl whom you have stud*
and I mil road your Rosetta Stone. I
only wish 1 could hope as easily to
decipher my own."
The next.forenoon gentleman car
rying a hugo port-iolio beneath his
arm, and dressed. in the. careless style
affected by artists, stopped at the door
of tho old iarm-hpuse known as thelard
"Widder Stone's," and paused a mo
ment—his walking-staff raised to knook
—to glance at the scene within.: at the
white-haired dame seated in, the wood
en rocking-ohair gravely knitting at
tho child who sat at her feet.
Child? No petite and agi'e, blue
eyed, fair-haired,: .and .irosyttiated
though she was, a second look showed
that she was past ohildhood, while, vet
the idea of womanhood seemed, absurd
ly ponderouB and formal as applied to
her airy motions and careless mirth.
"Rosetta, can it be? Not much
Stone of any sort," flashed through
the mind of the.artist as the
:-U]
cane fell upon the half-open. door.
The old wpman raised her dim eyes'.
Tho girl bounded to her feet, so ^sud
denly that the spectator winked, bus
removing his hat stepped inside the
door in answer to the dame's invita
tion, and seated himself in the chair
shyly proffered by the girl. ?.
"Won't you have something to take,
Sir?" inquired the, old woman, with
hospitable earnestness., ," 'Setta, ,you
a plate of them crullers and a mug
of oider for the gentleman."
"Nothing, nothing, thank yon,
madam: unless, indeed, 'this, young
lady, Miss-^-" ..
"Rosetta's her name, Sir 'Setta we
call her for short most generally."
"If Miss Rosetta will fill me a. glass
of water, then I shall be much obliged
to her."
"Certain, if you won't have nothing
better, Sir. Have you walked along
way, Sir?"
"Some distance, ma'am. am an
artist, and. am making sketches of the
magnificent scenery about here. I
have seen so many different ones to
day whioh I had no time to,, sketch,
that have resolved to Spend some
days in looking them up, if I cap find

"Oh} well, I don't believe we shall
meet. 1 intend to live out of doors
principally."
The next day Mark Vane^ stepped
his horse at the farm-house door to say,
without dismounting, that he was off to
the city, and probably should not
turn under two or three weeks.
great haste, ho added 'Jaws
hurried words of general farewell} meet

great eyes of wonder and dismay and

"Never mind, 'SetU, he'lLbe babk

er patting the pretty flushed cheek.
''I don't so much care whetherjBe*
or not," retorted'Setta, haslilyr running
out of the roomiest the tears in! "her
blue eyes should run Over and bbtray
her.
A week afterward Mark Vane .re
ceived among a dozen'invitations to one
festivity and another the following dis
patch from his brother: -:-,/,
"I can not deny, my dear Markj that
your own reddering of the obvious .or
Greek inscription is perfectly correct.
It describes a oreature full of beauty,
grace, and winning ways but remem
ber, youthful student of this great art,
that to translate! the Greek fluently is
only to open the door for a hundred
confusing and contradictory .readings
of the more absolute legend, and ithat
after all the Demotio may coneradiot
the Groek, and the hieroglyphic (when
we shall come to "it) entirely upset
-bOthi"'- :,
And oyer, this report, as over the
other, Mark pondered doabtfully and
somewhat gloomily and even while
mounting his horse to ride with beau
tiful Gertrude Cortlaodt, he mattered
discontentedly.
"Beoause I'm a tool, why need Mil
be one too?"
Another seven.days, and the three
weeks devoted to the deciphering of the
Rosetta Stone was accomplished and
Mark Vane leaving directions that his
letters should be sent after him betook
himself to the Eyrie, and the next day
after bis return rode down to Mrs.to
Stone's farm, and hitching his horse,
as he had many a time before, to the
garden paling, walked directly in.
The dame sat alone in the wide old
kitchen basking ia the golden autumn
sunshine whioh glanced merrily in at
latticed windows transfiguring the bril
liant tin and oopper upon the dres
ser to bnrniahed silver and gold, and
tipping the widow's busy knitting,
needles with sparks of sointillant flame.
"Where's Rosetta, Mrs. Stone?"
"Rosetta repeated the grandmoth
er, flashing rather uneasily as she scan
ned tho troubled face of her young
landlord, "Why, I believe she went up
the brookside after dinner to show Mr.
Vane a tree or something.*'
"Up the brookside psth, did you say
I'll go and meet them."
And before Mrs. Stone oould draw
breath for a reply the young man was
beyond hearing. He trod hastily the
familiar path, down the orchard, be
side the meadow hedgerow, aoross the
stepping-stones, and up the bowery
brookside path. And ever as he went
the lowering brow and gloomy eye,

that the sweet beauty of the hour and
scene found no answering sweetness in
the young man's mood.
About a mile had thus been hastily
traversed when the sound of voices, ap

pause and. listen intently for a momen*.,

"Have I been a fool, or is Millard

Another weeky and another note
"The enchorio version of the fair
inscription is as easily deciphered as
Greek and though I expose my
self to your derision for having con
ceitedly assumed a theory only to aban
don it, I will: acknowledge that each
freshly-developing trait of-mind and
heart is Fully in accord with -the' fair
exterior. Should the more intimate
and searching study of the next week,
typified by the hidden and abstruse
hieroglyphios, verify, as I foresee that
it will, my present conclusions, I will
gladly my dear Mark, acknowledge
you right and myself wrong, and pre
pare to be groomsman at the wedding
which shall add to the old house of
ied and this translation of her inmost
nature will, if I know her and you, give
more pleasure and satisfaction to your
own heart, as well as mine, than if you
oould read off these ridiculous hiero
glyphics like so much Oxford print."
"Agreed, then 1^' cried Millard, joy
ously, jumping up to seize his brother's I Vane an ornament so fitting as this fair
hand. "I will take the three weeks, I Rosetta Stone."

the earth whioh had been gathering at
its foot ever since the great Noachian
deluge had rooled it thither and
throned upon the rock, herself as
bright as the foliage, as pure and
as the water, as motionless as
the granite, sat Rosetta, Mark's Roset
ta Stone, her blue eyes glittering with
happy tears, her pretty head bent to
receive the wreath of wild asters, whose
pale blue contrasted so well with the
sunny hair, which, slipping from its
net, lay coiling itself upon the white
rook like an amiable golden serpent,
charmed beyond the power of mis
ohief by the musio of the time and
place. Kneeling beside the girl, his
mind as earnestly bent upon the prop
er adjustment of the wreath as it had
ever been upon the eluoidation of the
wisdom of Rameses the Great, Millard
Vane pursued, after his own peculiar
fastion, the study to which he hadvated
pledgedhimself. The wreath at last
was settledf land with a murmur of
commendation at its effeot, the artist,
{daspiug in his' own tho little bands

As noiselessly as he -'had come,

retraced his steps to the farm-house.
But although, as be walked slowly on,

to see that an air of relief, even of
amusement, had replaced the troubled
doubt and' apprehension so plainly
stamped upon bis face before encoun
tering bis recreant brother and faithless
love. ..
Arrived at the house, Mark request
ed to be shown to Mr, Millard Vane's
apartment and having written the
following note, desired Mrs. Stone to
deliver it sa soon as her guest should
return to tbe house:
«r6ad no: idea, Millard, what a
fascinating study this of hlerogylphioa
may become. I have been taking a
lesson at it myself this afternoon, up
by- the brookside, at'. the great rook
where you and I pace dug for buried
treasure. It's much pleasanter to find
one's treasure above ground, is it hot
"Well, as I waS saving, it was just
there, or rather from the opposite aide
of the brook, that I found, some half
hos* ago, that I too ean read hiero
glyphics, especially one very significant
one—so potent, indeed, that after do
cipnering it I have no need of farther
research to fully comprehend even this
wonderful Rosetta Stone.
"Will you oome up to the Eyrie to
night and compare notes with me upon
the subject, as I am well aware, indeed
have bad ocular demonstration, that
you have made yourself intimately ac
quainted with the subject M. V.
And if Mark Vane the aforesaid had
a little human longing for revenge, it
was gratified as he contemplated in si
lence the crest-fallen, humiliated, reso-
NO. 52.
Perhaps, too, Mark was wickedly
glad to protract the condition of ner
vous suspense so palpably evident in
the other's manner. At any rate, he
seemed in no hurry to dismiss either
the tea equipage or the solemn old
butler who attended upon it. Indeed,
it seemed to Millard that the most
elaborate dinner might have been con
sumed while his brother, trifling with
his tea and toast, airily chatted upon
the weather, the city, politics, the last
gossip from Washington, and a hun
dred other trifles all equally impossible
the less facile listener.
At last, however, the brothers were
alone and hardly was the door closed
when Mark, turning his chair from the
table and crossing one leg over the
other, suddenly remarked, in the cool
est possible manner.
"By-the-way, Mill, your three weeks
are ont. Let's have the rusult of your
studies of the Rosetta Stone."
"Mark, I thought you had more
heart 1" exclaimed the victim, hoarsely.
f'You have a right to exult and tri
umph, no doubt, over my miserable
weakness and treachery, but I didn't
think you would do it. I didn't think
it would give you so much satisfaction
to see your only brother condemned by
his own folly to a life of remorse and
lonely misery."
"What I" broke in the pitiless Maik,
"you don't mean you've come to that
'Lonely misery' means because you
can't marry Rosetta, I suppose don't
it And the remorse is because yoa
have proved once more the truth of
the old proverb that, It's not safe to
give the oat the cream-pot to keep.'"
"Do you think it kind or manly to
take advantage of my position to taunt
me thus came sternly through white
lips.
"Don't get mad,okiiellow! It won't
do a bit of good.^,Come, I hold you to
your compact. Jtell me what is the
result of your last week's study, your
hieroglyphical study, remember, ot
Rosetta Stone. You owe me that bit
of information at least, especially since
I've seen how the hieroglyphics are
translated."
"Very well. Since it enters into
your system of revenge to force me into
saying it, I will confess that tho keen
est scrutiny has developed only virtu
ous instincts, charming docility, keen
aptitude, and native refinement and
tact, in this girl's heart and mind.
The perfect beauty and grace apparent
upon the surface are but faint and poor
translations of the wealth within. Are
voujatisfied?"
poetical it isn't your line, you know,
and I don't think I can stand any
more just now—"
A protracted and irrepressible peal
of laughter closed tho sentence, and
completed the angry discomfiture of the
elder brother, who sprang from his seat
and was about leaving the room when
Mark, suddenly controling himself,
called him by same, at the same time
extending a hand.
"There, I've had my turn, now it's
your'e. Do you know, Mill, I came up
here to-day as blue as indigo because 1
thought I was pledged in honor if not
in word to Rosetta Stone. I went
down to New York fully persuaded
that Rosetta was the only woman worth
mentioning on this mundane sphere.—
But—I never had seen Gertrude Cort
landt. There's a woman for you, my
boy Full of wit and verve, and culti
to that extent that there's not a
weed to be found either in mind or
heart. Brilliant, proud, full of honor
and noble instincts. Ab, after wor
shiping the rose, one doesn't care so
much for the poor little anemone."
"But, Mark, are you sure Isn't
all this a ruse to make me think you
don't care for the treasure of whioh I
have robbed yon Are you not de
ceiving me or yourself
"Not a bit of it. I'm just honestly
delighted, that's all. I never said a
word to Gertrude, of course, feeling
naif bound up here but if I have half
as muoh quickness in reading hieroglyph
ics, why 111 venture to speak at least.—
At any rate, say she nay, I never could
love Rosetta as she deserves to be loved."
"And I, you insufferable young oox
oomb," retorted Millard,, who had sud
denly recovered bis spirits and his
equanimity, "love Rosetta a thousand
times better than I ever oould one of
your grand dames, and I've seen plenty
of them from Pharaonio princesess down
to—a New York belle."
"But for all that, my dear boy, you
shan't see Gertrude Cortlandt till either
she is my wife or 1 have beoome per
suaded that she never will be. This
time it has turned out very well, but I
won't risk any more hieroglyphical stu
dies of the woman I expeot to marry.''
"We will be married at the same
hour," responded Millard, reflectively.
"Not in the same place though, for the
Cortlandta won't lose the chance of
making Manhattan ring again with their
magnificence, while the village chureh
will satisfy all the aspirations of Ro
setta and myself."
"AH right, Mill. Only aren't we,
just a little you know, oounting our
ohickens before they are hatched
"May be so. But my faith is found
ed on a stone, and can not be shaken."
And with a very sheepish smile on
both faces the interview closed, as does
the story, somewhat abruptly.

consumption. It consists of healing

All the reports of the oases in whioh
this treatment has been administered
are favorable, and hold out a promise
of a complete cure. For many years
Dr. Koch has been trying the experi
ment with animals, having tested it
with more than 300, at a vast outlay of
