?Somervillo Journal.
A LIFETIME LOVE.
My sister once related to me a love
story, which illustrates the peculiar in?
tensity, especially in matters of the
heart, which marks the Breton charac?
ter. The tale was related to her by one
of her friends, the daughter of the hero?
ine, whom I will call Emma Rosilis.
She was not perfectly beautiful, but
her face had an indescribable charm.
Her eyes had the most exquisite softness,
and her delicate eyebrows almost seemed
to possess a soul, while her skin was so
lino that it betrayed tho slightest agita?
tion by fugitive blushes.
Little Emma Rosilis went regularly to
church with her book of hours, and the
truth is that toward the age of 10 or 18
there was no place in her little soul but
for oi\e young man, of about 20 or 22,
whom she saw often, and whom I will
call Emilieh.
Emma had known Emilien ever eince
she had known herself. Moreover, sho
dreamed what she did not think, until it
happened one day that she found Emil?
ien was occupying the entire cavity of
her little heart.
The young man whom she loved had a
good, though not a strong, nature, but
his simplicity, his absence of all pre?
tense, were most pleasing to Emma.
She had not known any young man su?
perior to him, nnd indeed in tho littlo
world where she moved sho had not met
many young men of nny kind.
This love of Emma's soon became most
absorbing. During entire days she would
remain motionless, almost as though she
wero in a trance, dreaming of her be?
loved. Naturally sho said nothing of
what she experienced either to the ono
she loved, or to her relations, or to her
companions. Her discretion was so ab?
solute that no ono knew anything of
what filled her.
While Emma lived only in her love for
Emilien, he thought littlo of her. He
found her pleasing, as did all the world,
but he never thought of telling her so.
Ho was a commonplace and passive be?
ing, and then, after all, was he to blame?
Emma was so modest that she could
senrcely bo distinguished from her
friends?you would have said she sought
only to hide herself.
One day, whilo she was talking with
her companions sit a little reunion at the
foot of the garden, many things were
spoken of. Tho news which had a fresh?
ness for all was of tho approaching mar?
riage of Emilien to Anna M-. It was
spoken of as a certain thing. Emma
heard it all. Such was the control which
She had over herself, however, that no
one suspected that a poniard had en?
tered her heart. She was quiet, arose a
littlo while after and retired without
giving any sign of tho frightful wound
which she had just received.
Another bit of news was circulated a
few days after, in tho company of the
same young people, assembled in the
same garden. Emma had entered as
novice into tho community of Ursulines
of the little village of L-1 As she
was very pious, this surprised no one.
Her secret had belonged bo exclusively
to herself that no ono reproached her.
The idea occurred to no one that tho
marriage of Emilien was the causo of
her consecrating herself to religion.
The convent of the Ursulines admitted
divers degrees of religious vocations. By
tho side of the sisters bound to the order
by a perpetual vow there were pious per
sous weariug ti costume which was like
that of the order, minus the veil. These
practiced the same observances without
assuming any permanent obligations.
Tho greater part took the vows at the
end of some years, but there was more
than one example of devoted sisters who
re-entered the world after years spent
in tho convent.
It was into this class of sisters that
poor Emma entered. Everything was as
usual in her admission, in her novitiate,
in her conduct in the convent.
She became a devotee of the most per?
fect regularity, pious as the others, never
in fault, esteemed by her superiors. Her
pale face in tho white linen which sur?
rounded it had the beatific calm char?
acteristic of the sisterhood. Assiduous
in prayers and in all other pious exer?
cises, she yielded quickly to the religious
habits of tho cloister. At the end of
some days the slow and monotonous
routine of the regular convent life had
dulled her sensibilities, and her ordinary
stato became a kind of gentle sleep.
Had she succeeded in driving from her
heart the image which had captured her
whole being?
After a fashion?yet she had not even
tried. The suspicion came not to her for
an instant that her love was culpable.
It was, as in the canticles, "a bouquet of
myrrh in her bosom." She would have
doubted God rather than her right to
this sentiment which filled her. Site
distinguished not her love from her
piety nor her piety from her love. She
even tasted in her austerities an addi?
tional charm. Sho found in wounding
herself a sort of delight. She experi?
enced an intense joy in believing that
she suffered all this for the one she loved,
and in saying thnt she saw no other
man but him. Such wt ro tho innocence
nnd purity of her imagination that never
a scruple came to her for her dreams of
love. Sho was bo certain of being right
that she never felt obliged to accuse her?
self to her confessor.
Thus five years rolled by without a
trouble, without a storm. Did the pos?
sibility of recovering Emilien ever pre?
sent itself to her spirit? Dreamed she
at moments that it was Emilien and not
the church that sho had really espoused,
and that she whom ho had espoused was
in very feeble health? As nothing that
passed in the little town was unknown
in the convent, she knew that Anna and
Emilien had two little girls. Did Em?
ma's heart never whisper to her, "Thou
shalt be their mother some day?"
Anna had a sister in the convent. One
day, according to the custom at such
times, prayers were requested by the
women of the community for a relative
of their number, who was dying. Tho
name of this dying person was repeated
that evening to Emma. She was Anna.
The two little girls, who soon had no
mother, were confided to the care of
their aunt, the nun. Emma assisted her
in attending to them, From this time
Emma experienced a change. She could
scarcely pruy. She tried to reclothe her?
self in her haircloth, and she found it
insupportable. Tho austeritieB which
were familiar to her became revolting.
She denied herself the communion for
eight days. Her peace was at an end;
her profound piety extinguished. She
believed herself morbid, selfish?almost
wicked.
At this time sho felt obliged to tell all
to her confessor, tho chaplain of the con?
vent. He was not a great man, but he
was very sensible. He advised at first
that sho should wait; then he saw the
gravity of the evil. After all, Emma
had pronounced no vows. She had not
worn the whole costume of the order.
The veil had not shadowed her forehead.
The chaplain had a beuevolent heart.
The eacredness of the confessional for?
bade him from consulting his bishop.
He formed his opinion from his own
reasonings. Convinced that it was for
the salvation of Emma, he confided the
two little daughters of Anna to her per?
sonal care. He hoped also to give an
outlet to tho restlessness which began to
disturb her. On these orphans she might
outpour tho fullness of her heart.
The father came to see his little girls,
and Emma conducted them to the parlor.
The shock of seeing him again was ter?
rible. She burst into tears. He was just
tho same as she had always seen him in
her dreams. As for her, she was sadly
emaciated. Her excessive weeping de?
prived her of what little strength she
had. Herself control entirely forsook her.
Gazing into her tear dimmed eyes, Emil?
ien discovered there her love. Tho good
man, commonplace as ho was, at last
comprehended the situation. He had a
very tender heart, and he was profound?
ly touched.
Some months after Emma and Emilien
were united in marriage. What no one
had suspected all the world now saw.
The entire community married them.
For the rest of her life Emma tasted
without a moment's intermission the
most perfect felicity that one can dream
of. During 40 years sho drifted, as it
were, in a Pacific ocean of happiness and
love.
Emma and Emilien had eight children,
from whom they never separated the two
daughters of poor Anna. They brought
them all up well.
Some speak of tho "storms of love."
What childishness! Passion has its in?
equalities, but true love has no storms.
Tho happiness of Emma after she had
won her lover was as a full sea without
tides. Even death was hardly for her
Life went out because the hour of fin?
ishing had come. Sho died at the age of
70 years, without sickness. I
My sister found this a perfect example
of love as she comprehended it. She es- j
teemed Emilien tho happiest of men.
For him an excellent woman had con- i
demned herself to a life of austerity,
giving to him tho most complete guaran?
tee of tho exclusiveness of her love.
During five years sho saw not a single
man. She had accepted with innocent
joy the expectation of an external exclu?
sion. In all battles that come in lifo
there is a recompense for those alone
who dare. Happiness is like glory. To
obtain it, it is necessary to play high.
One day I hazarded the observation to
my sister, "It was a great deal of devo?
tion to bestow upon a mediocre man."
"Oh, that was no matter!" she re?
sponded. "Emilien certainly did not
merit so much happiness, but who does?
Seo the false idea of the Parisian men of
letters, who assume that great men only
are worthy of being loved. What child?
ishness! You will seo some day the
ridiculousness of all that. Ah, the heroes
who have saved their country?I acknowl?
edge they may reward affection, but tho
daubers of canvas, the blotters of paper,
what have they for the heart? What is
a husband who belongs to every one?"?

is never proof to those who have thus
"squared themselves" that the money

THE COLORS OF THE EARTH."
How They Affect the Light Vlmt Our
Planet Give* to the Moon.
The wonderful difference between the
same landscape in winter and in summer
is a phenomenon familiar to all dwellers I
in the toinperate zones. The two great
elements of change are the presenco of
snow in winter and of leaves aud grass
in summer. If wo could look at our
globe from tho moon, the variation in
its aspect due to seasonal changes would
perhaps be even more striking than it
appears to those upon its surface.
In fact, we sometimes lose sight of the
very important part which vegetation
plays in giving color to what might be
called the couutenance of the planet.
It is not tho highest forms of plants
that always produce tho greatest effect
in thia way. Some of the most striking
scenes upon the earth owe their charac?
teristic features to mosses and lichens.
The famous "crimson cliffs" of Green?
land, which extend for miles northward
from Cape York, derive their splendid
color from the growth of red lichen
which covers their faces.
Tho cliffs rise betwee? 1,700 aud 2,000
foet straight from the water's edge, and
being composed of gray granite their
aspect would be entirely different from
what it is but for tho presence of tho
lichen.
Coining to less magnificent, but not
I less beautiful scenes, the rocky pass
called the Golden Gate in the Yellow
stono National park owes its rich color
and its name to the yellow lichen cover?
ing its lofty walls, and the indescribable
hues of the great hot spring terraces
arise mainly from the presonce of minute
plants flourishing in tho water that over?
flows them.
Considered as a whole, the vegetation
of a planet may give it a characteristic
aspect as viewed from space. Many have
thought that tho red color of Mars may
be due to tho existence of red instead of
green vegetation there.
That its broad expanses of forest aud
prairie land cause the earth to reflect a
considerable quantity of green light to
its neighbors is indicated by the fact
that at the time of the new moon a
greenish tint has been detected over?
spreading that part of the lunar surface
which is then illuminated only by light
from the earth.?Youth's Companion.
Basque Is a Lonely Tonguv Still.
The question, Who aro the Basques?
that mysterious people who give their
name to the bay of Biscay, is always
cropping up, and Professor von der Ga
belentz has recently endeavored to show
that the Basque language belongs to the
African Berber family of speech?for ex?
ample, the Kabyle and Taureg. His ev?
idence, however, only amounts to a few
culture words being identical in tho
Basque and Berber languages and cer?
tain analogies in tho laws of phonetic
change. Moreover, he assumes that the
Basques and Iberians were the same peo?
ple.
But, as Canon Isaac Taylor points out,
tho Iberian tongue, according to our
highest authorities, was different from
the Basque, and the French Basques are
a different race from the Spanish
Basques, who are a feebler people of the
Iberian type. If wo assume that the
Basques conquered the Iberians, wo can
account for tho resemblances noticed by
Professor von der Gabelentz, because
the Iberians of Berber origin in acquir?
ing tho language of their conquerors
would retain their own phonetic ten?
dency and also some culture words in
both languages. As Canon Taylor re?
marks, we may still believo that the
Basque language is allied to the Ural
Altaic type.?London Globe.
The Danger of Mutches.
We wonder how our ancestors man?
aged to get along at all before the in?
vention of matches; they are so indis?
pensably handy that we keep them in
every room in the house; the "men
folks" carry them in their {rackets, leave
them hanging in their "other clothes"
iu a dozen closets in all portions of tho
house; we have a handful resting within
reach while we sleep, they are dropped
hero and there as we attempt to handle
them; if it is light and we readily see
them, theyare picked up, otherwise they
are left till a more convenient season?
which generally does not come, simply
because they are forgotten, being "only
a match'?we can get plenty more for a
halfpenny, and time is too valuable to be
wasted over so insignificant a trifle.
Yet this "insignificant trifle" possesses
the latent power to destroy the finest
mansion, and with it lives of sweetness
and beauty which the word can poorly
afford to spare. The cause of the con?
flagration may not always be revealed,
for the fire demon frequently covers or
destroys his tracks most effectually.
But how often is it apparent that only a
simple match?that insignificant trifle?
could have wrought the ruin!?Family
