SSADCE ELLIOTT.
Vben you a pair of bright cyesencct.
That makes your heart in rapture beat;
When one voice .sera, to you more sweet
Than any other voice you know
Go slow, my fricad, go slow !
For brightest crcs have oft bctjhyed.
And sweetest voice of youth ana maid
The very fairest thing; have s4d,
And thereby wrought a deal of woe;
Go slow, my friend, go slow !
When you're convinced you are a poet,
And, wishing all the world to know it.
Call on some editor to show it,
Your verses full of glow and blow.
Go alow, my friend, go slow !
For many a one has done the aaiue,
'And thought tograsp the hand of fume.
And yet ha. never seen hi. nasse
In print. And why waste basket know,
Go slow my friend, g. slow !
When you to greed for money yield.
And long the mifrhty power to wield
That's always found in golden netil.
With senseless p.mp and pride and show,
Go slow, my friend, go slow !
For thousands tempted by the glare
Of wealth, have fallen in the snare
Set for the thief. And now despair,
Rcgtet and shame have broughtthera low;
Go slow, my friend, go slow !
The good old earth is never wrong;
Each of her works take just so long;
Months pass before a happy throng
Of daisies in the meadows grow;
Go slow, my friend, go slow !
And spring give, life to summer's fiow'rs
And summers, sun and summer'! ahow'rs.
Prepare the fruit for autumn', bow'rs.
And autumn frost bringa winter snow;
Go slow, my friend, go slow !
EXMASKED.
"Don't be rash iu this, my dear
don't! What will your friends say
what will the world say when they
hear that Ianthe Howard is going to
marry her music-master? What do
we know of this man ? O, pause and
ffdnsider, my darling my darling."
And gentle, motherly Mrs. Burn-
ham knelt down on the rich carpet,
and slipped her pleading arms
round the slender figure before her.
"I have considered, Aunt Helena,"
the girl said, coldly. Yu ask me
what do we know of Jean D'Eaterre ?
And I answer we know he is a gen
tleman. That is the only kuowledga
I value. If you will not consent to
our marriage now, we shall wait for a
year, and then I shall be my own
mistress. But, dear Aunt Helen,"
with a suddeu softening in the proud
voice, "do be my friend in this ! You
have been so kind to me all my life,
and now "
The beautiful, dark face grew
strangely pleading.
"Now I am kinder than I evsr
was," Aunt Helena said "kinder,
because of my great love for you,
dear. Harshly kind, "perliaps.ln my
anxiety for your happiness. A girl,
young, handsome, aod an heiress,
cannot be too careful in her choice
of friends."
"But you know I love him."
She said the words. wistfully, de
precatingly, lifting her loyel, trou
bled eyes to her aunt's face.
"I know you do not, Iantho. A
girl not less than a yaar out of
school why, do you not know your
own mind I Besides, my darling, let
me tell you a truth, however terrible
it may sound to you ! I must peak
plainly. He is only a contemptible
fortune-hunter, who wants your mon
ey. "Aunt Helen P
She had sprang to her feet like a
young tigress, a red glow leaping
boldly to the pale olive'of her cheeks,
her eyes aflame.
"My dear, it is true. If the man.
has it in his nature to care for any
one but himself, he loves Elixa Gau.
det Southerland'a nioce. Wait till
I have finished," as Ianthe lifted her
head haughtily ,to speak. "He met
her, two years ago, iu Paris. She is
a compotriat gof his. Think a mo
ment, Ianthe ! You must have seen
how it was. She introduced bimi to
her relatives as an old Parisian friend
he made the most of his opportuni
ty. He has good looks and a plausi
ble manner, through which, aided by
the Southerland's introduction, he se
cured an tntre to our best houses.
He is giving her lessons as well as
you. He loves her; but you are an
heiress, and his avarice predominates.
If he cannot win you, he may succeed
with her. Oh, my'deirr one, tryjand
understand." ,
For Ianthe Howard stood quite
still nnd motionless, looking before
her with blind, unseeing eyes. She
lifted one hand confusedly to hor head;
all the hot flamo faded from her
cheek. -
"I don't belWe it," she said, slow-,
ly, as if too stunned for anger "I
don't believe it."
"My deareit, I have been sudden.
Forgive me J her aunt cried, re
proachfully, alarmed at eight of that
white wild face. - . .
"No," she said, calmly, though
her lips Kere pallid and Irembling.
"If you can prove to me that one iota
of this miserable storj is-true, I will
thank you for my salvation. But"
in the same strained voice, as though
she were repeating a lesson"! don't
believe it."
. . "I shall give you one proof the
other you shall se for yourself. Yes
terday I went to visit Mr. Suther
lands.'. They were not at home, but
the servant ;aid Miss Gaudct was

dot's licht laugh. 'If you should
meet Parthenia, with a white rose
in her hand, how can I tell who it
might be ?' I knocked, and Eliza
sprang to answer, but not before I
heard him whisper, 'Love needs no
symbwls. Ingoraar will know. My
dear one, it lies with you to do the
rest?"
"Hew?" drearily.
"Well, of course you know they
alluded to Mrs Kent's bal matque on
the eighth. Go as P.rthenia your
self." "I ?"
"Yes. Will you let me arrange
with the costumer? I shall have
that dress sent to you another to
her."
The girl started as if she had been
shot.
"No," she cried, passionately "no!
Listen to confidences not intended for
my ear ! It would be mean, dishon
orable, underhand. No."
"Ianthe, you have a mistaken idea
of hoaor. You may save Elsie's hap
piness as well as your own. Do
not misjudge her. She is a good Ht
tie thing, and thinks hi loves her
only. Did she know of the double
trama he is Dlavine. I am sure she
. V
would -sccrn him, as she should.
This Bian asked you to be his wife.
Let him prove himself werthy to be
your husband. You should stop at
no silly society scruples to tear the
mask from that which may bring you
misery and dishonor. My dear, if I
am mistaken, I will beg your par
don and hii, and give you to him
with all my heart; but I love
my child too dearly to risk her young
life's wreck. Will you be Parthenia?"
"Yes."
At the door; Mrs. Burnham paused
and looked back, with eyes grown
suspiciously moist and a great throb
of compassion at her heart, lor",
in the center of the room, with
bowed head aiid nervously-
clasped hands, Ianthe How
ard stood, a pitifully childlike
figure, despite her heavy ruby-velvet
draperies a girl standing alone un
der the shivering, tottering ruins of
her first love castle:
.
"Are the costumes ordered last
week finished?"
"Yes, madam."
Tke proprietress hastily left less
profitable customers to attend Mrs.
Burnham.
"As I have the crrriage and will
be passing Miss Gaudet's, I shall drop
hers there, if it will be a convenience
to you
Madam was too kind. They wsre
malipfl with work. Thev would be
very grateful.
So madam's liveried coachman lu
ted the two Ion? brown paper boxes
into the carriage and itjrolled away.
It was quite dark when it drew up at
the Southerlands' door.
'Just ring'and hand'this in, John.
Make haste it is late."
She pushed a box toward him.
He obeyed her. Then he climbed to
his seat, she gave the order "Home"
and tile carriage drove off.
Mxs. "Burnham laughed a little
sadly, to herself, and patted the box
which hold the..pretty Parthenia
dress.
"Elsie will think it a mistake.
How else could I conviuceher? Be
side", all's fair is love and war."
- Parthenia.stood alone in the recess
of a window, and watched the mot
ley crewd surging through Mrs. Kent's
lofty rooms.
Hapless Marie Stuart and a "Hea
then Chinee," Sir Walter Raleigh
and Red Riding Hood, Richelieu and
Little Nell floated serenely by. .
"Ab, you have come at last?"
Parthenia started suddenly at the
whispered words, and turned to con
front a tall fur-clad Ingomar.
' "Have you no word for me, ma
beU4tn
"Yes; but not here."
She spoke very low, and in French.
She took his arm, and together
they passed into a room mado famil
iar to both in their social visits the
library.
The room was long, silent, dimly
lit. As yet it was to early for the
dancers to wander off in search of
cooler air, so they were undisturbed.
Once there, he turned and faced
her in that mellow half-light which left
the corners mystically dim. j
- He took off his mask, and showed
a decidedly handsome, decidedly evil j
face. j
"My Parthenia! how !eautiful
you look."
The expression was involuntary.
Beautiful indeed was the statesque
young figure, in that simple, sovere,
exquisite, dress which challenges the
many, adorns the, few the Greek
costume.
The soft white robe fell ia graceful,
classic folds to her feet the htavv
staff he takes when she gives her lov
er the flowsr held carelessly in one
hand, the helmet, the shield, all glit
tering in the dim light.
"Why do you not speak ta me,

"Iauthe Howard," he . repeated.
"What ia she tame? I told yea I

and do not think too hard of me
when you know what an avaricious
wretch I ant. If only you had her
fortune. Take off that jealous mask.
You start! Ah. my love, do not
blame me too much. Remember,
you only hold my heart, if need obli-
ees me to take advantage of Miss
Howard's foolish infatuation for ue,
and marry her bank account."
"Pray, do not'so far inconvenience
yourself, Mr. D'Esterro. That fool
ish fancy is dead forever."
And Ianthe Howard calmly laid
down her mask on the ebony centre-
table.
"Great heaven, Ianthe P
"Yes ! Permit me to return the
pledge of a false vow."
And, in her proud, silent way, she
drew off a sparkling solitaire and laid
it quietly down.
"And permet ve to say that you
have made more than one mistake
to-night, Jean D'Esterre."
And from out of a shadowy corner
came the bright figure of a vivandiere.
Then one man felt the full misery
his disloyalty and deceit had brought
him, as Ianthe Howardjand Elaie Gau
det passed together from the room,
united In their triumph over treach
ery the woman he had loved for her
money and the woman he
had loved for herself.
. And to-day, Ianthe knows that her
lifa and love lie sacredly in the hands
of an honest gentleman, and thanks
God, from the depths of her true wo
man's heart, for th happiness that
bloomed aud blossomed out of her
girlhood's soroow.

How Marbles are Made.
Nearly all marbles are made at
Oberstcin, Germany. Theie are
large agate quarries and mills in that
neighborhood, and the refuse is turn
ed to good account in providing the
small stone balls for experts to
knuckle" with. The 'stone is bro
ken into small cubes by blows of .a
light hammer. The small blocks of
stone are thrown by the the shovelful
into the hopper of a small mill, form
ed ef a bedstone, bavin? its surface
grooved with concentrate furrows;
above this is the "runners," which is
of some hard wood, having a level
face on its lower surface. The upper
block is made to revolve rapidly, wa
ter being delivered upon the grooves
of the bedstone where the marbles
are being rounded. It Lakes about
fifteeu minutes to finish a half bushel
of good marbles.. One 'mill will turn
out 160,000 marbles per week.
