Mrs. S. vttttT Hnd Iter ilanj-liter
Maud lived in pretty wtm tin
tm lifd Va in the ueitibui bood of
t tie pretty Enjclisli village ol'C'ln-
h i in, The Kowl tild lady wan what
most people would conmder com
tVii'tubly ofl ; hut tdiCj w ho hd once
known all the lux.ni ten that uealtb
cnii liestow, lefcuided herself an one
of the unfortunate w ho uieiiledaM
iniii U pity as tho wretched pauper
whoer.iwlM into t'te woiaiinuie ior
h nitht'B shelter.
PtMir Maud Silvester' lite was
reiideied a perfect mmeiy to her.
Lont WaiHtnlrM Hon almost lived at
the quiet little villa, mid worst of
ull, M is. S heater encouraged him.
Lord Wnmtrill bail lout lalst)
hMida HUlUeieut about hi.i pieeious
neVr-ilo well to raise Mr. S hea
ter's hoped ot social aggi aiirlir.einent
for heiwlf and her daughter to the
okie, aud Mrs. Sylvester lud nutll
ciently exaggeiuted her daughter's
. uiimii'i, int. l.,ML'd iiuruiv
teiice in his son's behalf.
ljut his soon needed no urging
on. He was madly iu love with
Maud. The more she showed her
dislike, the more tiffed innate he
was, in vain sho assured hiuishe
could not care foi him.
To make matters worse, h
mother entirely cliangi'tl in her de
meanor towards her. With all her
vanity, selrishueMS and absurdities,
Mrs. Sj heater had heretolore been
alli'ctiuiiiite tow unis herilaughter.
15 ut now a cmiiiuu had taken
place hi her demeanor. She threat
ened that sue woulil leave Her pen
niless when she died aud let her
matte her own lixtng as beat she
could, if she did not consent to the
marnaL'e.
Ir grieved Maud deeply to see
her unit her stoop lo a talsi'hooU in
her wild desire to biiug about this
marriage.
Now ArthurChamtirraund Maud
8y heater hud so far kept their en
gagemeiit a secret from everyone
exceiitiujr her friend Lucy.
Of course pjor Maud look every
oniiiiitnnitv to vieit her friend in
Hayswater as frequently as she
could, and to her confidant Lucy
she revealed her troubles.
"You must come as otteii as you
can to (Jlaphaui," pleaded Maud,
"and save me from the persecutions
of the objectionable, creature to
w hom tiiiuuiua would have uie sacri
fice uijt self."
Ot course Lucy did corneas often
as she could; but ere long her visits
were put a stop to by the positive
rudeness ot Mrs. Sjhesier, who,
for the suke ot her own wishes, de
sired to sever Maud's connections
with her Bayswater friends.
Lucy, dearly us she loved Maud,
could not. continue to visit at a
house where she was openly snub
bed and insulted.
Not satisfied will) having driven
her daughter's dearest friend from
tbe door, Mis. Sylvester at lust,
objected to Maud's going to Bays
water. Maud,rebelled indignantly against
Ibis,
" Why," she justly remarked,
'was she to give up her dearest
friend t What, had she, Lucy, or
any member of her family ever
done to merit such unheard of treat
ment I" ,
Never mind, what they have
done," answered Mrs, Sylvester
"that has notlii g to tlo with the
natter. It Is my desire you should
not visit them, for the present, at
least, and you must submit to my
orders." ,
1 am sorry anwered Mauri,
"1 can not in tins hiftunce uie.
.u." "
"Lin i ,oii must ami slmll," em d
in ! lumber tiiiiuii-U.
M .inl did not answer lier.
" Do ou here me f" cried .Mrs.
SylVMicr. , ,
u I bear yon," answered Mud.
"Ana yoa mast obey or
MOr baif' quetiuel Ma ad.
"Or I will turn yoa out. ot the
bouse cried Sir. Silvester,
-ion need not do Hut, answered
Maud, with considerable eraotiou
"I can g very easily, without be
iuK turned out.
She rose as he concluded apeak-
lug.
Mra, Sylvester looked np at her.
Hardened though she had f late
lieeon e with thikoue hideous tiiglit-
mare of social aggraiKUzement en-
irosiu tier whole cowHiiieraoou,
she still had a spark of Wtter feel
ing left when the pat hello tone of
her riaughtci'a voice reached her
ears.
"Of course," she said Httishljr,
"I do not mean that exaclly j but
it's your duty to obey me, Maud, In
all things."
In all reasonable tbingv an
swered Maud. i
"You go against me in every
thing," cried Mrs. Sylvester. "What
other daughter in the world would
hesitate to marry us you now have
tbe opiatrtuniry ot marrying! You
can restore our family to itspiOer
place iu society ; you can"
" Mother," cried Mauri, "tor mer
c's sake tlo not approach that hate
ful topic ugaiu. 1 repeat now what
I have told you dozens ol times ho
lme: I will never consent to be
come the wife of Lord Waistnll's
dinMpaleri son."
" Dissipated 1" shrieked Mrs. Syl
vester. Yes dissipated I you know it
us well us 1 do, mother. Dissipa
tion is written on his countenance,
and b trays itself even in his con
versation iu the resence of ladies."
" You forget," retortid Mrs. Syl
vester, "Uiut men in his position
in I i to are naturally en Mined to
many temptations, such as late
hours and possibly an overnlus of
wine on oeeusio"; and "
"Mother," interrupted Mauri,
"do not attempt to close my eje
to thetrnth ( I am not to be blinded
by any hollow exuuses or iersuas
ions. I tell you again, nothing on
earth shall induce me to ninny him.
You may drag me to (he altar, and
there 1 will decline to utter the
necessarv vows."1
"Foolish girl," commenced Mrs.
Sylvester, wueu she was interrupt
ed by a long pull at the bell, and
immoiliutely afterwards the lion.
Aunu.-tns YYaistrill was announced.
Maud had uuil ted the apartment
before he had entered it.
Mrs, Sylvester, as usual, made
herself as agreeable us possible.
She did not despair ot compici ing
her daughter in spite ot the deter
mined resistance she wan oviu-1
cing."
"A verv pretty escritoire, that,"
said the lion. Augustus, who look
ed paler than usual on this particu
lar aiteruoou, and seemed nervous
and restless.
" It is, is it not P said Mrs. Syl
vester, rising. "It is so well fitted
up. (Joine an I see."
It was a splendid opportunity for
Mrs. Sylvester. Still further pro
pagating the idea ot her substan
tial means, she, inadvertently us it
were, but iu reality on purpose,
opened a small drawer in which
were deposited notes and gold to
the amount of one hundred pounds,
" You keep your riches here, I
see," said tbe Ion. Augustus.
"Only a trifle," said Mrs. Sylves
ter. "I don't like to be without
anything in the house; hut I never
keep much at home, iu case ot acci
dents, such as tire or
"Or thieves," suggested Angus
tue Waistrill.
The truth whs Mrs. Sylvester had
only that morning cashed a check
tor a quarter's income.
The Hon. Augustus left earlier
than usual that afternoon, but on
that uifiht lie was once more an in
mate ot tbe little villa at Olnpham.
He was tcrtibly hard up, and
since bis return to England had
contrived to contract iebts. There
were several debts of honor which
be knew he mast pay, or hu W viilri
be scouted out of the socioiy of one
or two people through whom there
was a chance of retrieving bis posi
tion. Mrs. Sylvester's store, wtik-h
she had brought under his notice,
was just the thing. Uu resolved to
steal it.
Soon alter midnight he made his
way to tbe French window ot the
drawing room at thu villa, and dex
terously removing a pano of glass,
pushed back the bolt and entered.
A small jet of gas whs left burning
iii I he room, Mrs. Sylvester labor
ing under the iim ression that it
would keep thieves away it they
saw a light.
' The titled thief proceeded to
force the lock of the escritoire, H
managed it so cleverly one would
have though' he was accustomed.
As he was placing the gold and
notes in Ins ockeis, Mrs. S. heater,
wno n ol eo ue ilow.i .t.iirs for a
book, being unable lo sleep, enter
ed l he room.
Iu a moment sho saw what Lord
Waistriil's mn was at. Now area
tM not by par mr-.m at raid.
mid eh dearly loved tno n-y. She i
rushed towards him without a mu- j
men fx brsiUtRiu.
You thief r uha cried "how
dare you P
The Hon. Aagutns Waistrill
turned upon her like stiver, and
endeavored o hnil her to the
ground. A tcrtilrie struggle en
neil, a't.l d'Milii less the tli.t-t wonM
have conquered had iutt timely aid
pieseuted itself in the shapo of
Arthur Chamber, who ou dis
abled tbe cowardly rufti.i ..
L'Ii.iio'k r, b id liceti dining in tUe
ueighlkirh'MMl, Willi a friend, and
passing the home of her whom h
loved, had not unnaturally lingered
about the "', looking up at the
darkeued windows, and wondering
if she dreamed of him. While thus
occupied be had seen the Hon.
Augustus slip thriMigli tile irtte,
ami wondering what his object
could beat that lionrof the uigtit,
had followed and watched him.
"And this," said Chambers, bit
terly, addressing Mr. Sylvester,
"is the the thing to whom yon
would, had it been in vour pow
er, married your noble hearted
daughter; bul. tli-.! mid in. your
thirst for social disiinc ion has
made it very fool of you. And now,
sir," turning to the prisoner, "yon
must come with uu ind you, km.
dam. innst accompany us to your
father's house.
" Y"U have no rulit to take me
anywhere," said Augustus, dog
gedly. " Would yon prefer going to the
look npP asked Chandlers "lor
that ia your only alternative."
S the thief was taken into the
presence of hia father, and thus
saved front public exposure aud
penal servitude, much to his pa
rent's delight.
A year later Arthur Chambers
was United to Maud.
A Midiiklit Bid'
Mississippi Mi'thudiit.
A story has been told me about
how Hislnm Paine got the ad van
tageofthe boy while he was pres
ident c-f Lagrange College. Tiie
hoys took iutn their heads to pl.iv a
prank on Dr. Piine Their plan
was to steal his carriage from the
house, nnd take it down the monit
tain and hide it in the woods. Dr.
l'aine got wind ot their plans nnd
found out the nixht 8-t for their
execution, and had himself locked
np in the curri ige house, and got
into the carriage and closed the
turns hard nnd t i sr. A oiit mid
night the boys came ami alter
much hard work got the carriage
house doors ofl the hinges, and haul
ed the carriage out in great glee.
At first they moved slowly and
stealthily; but tue fun her they
went the inure boisterous they be
came. They had inncii talk by the
way about bow mad Mr. Paine
would be uud the ugly things he
would ssy whe'i he found his car
riage missing. It was a gun 1 frol
ic, a real good juke and the buys en
joyed it immensely. They hauled
the catringe out into the Woods and
bid it to their entire satisl.ici ion ;
and, then, one of the riuglea .ers
proposed three, cheers before they
stalled home. These were lnsnl.v
given, when Dr. Paine put his ln-u I
out .of the carriage door and said,
Young gentlemen : 1 am much ob
liged fir this nice tide and I will
thank you ityoit will pull u.e back
home again." The buys were con
siderably crest-fallen, but did the
only grtiiii fill thing that could be
done under the circumstances.
They tugged away at the carriage
nnd learned by experience that 'a
wheeled vehicle is harder to pull up
hill than down. When they put
the carriage aw ay, Dr. Paiuc th ink
ed the hoys kindly and said, " I'd
tell you young gentlemen this is
the. gayest frolio I have, had fur it
long time." This was the last I inu
tile boys tried to play a prnoliod
joke ou Dr. Paine. The Doctor did
uot tret and scold he simply beat
l he boys at their own game ami
then allowed tli'-m to go ouottlree.
This story is canonical aud net
upochi'iiplial.

Chip Dirt.
An exchange speaks of the great
value of " chfp dirt" for spreading
around young or newly set fruit
tree, imparling lo them double
vigor in growth. It is simply the
benefit from good mulching. De
cayed chips, leaf mold and dried
muck are all quite similar in their
nature; as they tend strongly to
bold the moisture in the soil below,
aud Cannot form a crust ou the sur
face, they are well lifted for tho
purpose. It is probable that a fre
quent stirring ot the surface ot the
soil about the tree would answer
the suite purpose; but, as planters
generally neglect this stirring or
perfecting in an cllii dent in aimer,
while thu action of thu decayed
vegetable matter cannot be hurt by
neglect, it has special advantage
over other modes of treating youtig
tr,ecs.

What are Clouds?
C. Morflt, iu Popular Scieue Vljnthly.
Though the clouds nre such f t
miliar objects, very little is knowif
about them', aud J.he processes by
which they are formed aud give
ba-jk their moisture to the earth are
unsolved mysteries.
They cannot be classified as be-
longing to tiro solid, fluid, or gase
ous form of matter. Yet they art
defined as being "a collection ot
wati-rv imrticles iu the state of va-
nor, suspended in tho air." If they
are ordinary vapor, they must Uj
governed by the laws which effect
vapors. Brando iteuiies rapor must
"When liquids aid certain solids
are heated, they become converted
into elastic thuds of vapors, wiiicli
differ from gases iuthe respect tint
they ure not under common circuuf-stan-ies
permanently elastic, but
resume the liquid or solid tonn whin
cooled to ordinary temperature."
According to this definition, clouds'
cannot be composed ot ordinary va
por, for under all conditions TTheir
temperature must bo below the con-v
ileusing point of water vapor.
At the elevation at which clouds
are often seen, they are in the re
gions ot erpetunl congvlalioir; aud
as they float above the highest

even iu the sunshine, and certaiuly

zones.
