Where life is love, ami Jove ono long true dream.

had spoken. , ...
"Mr.-Oonant, this is ybnr cousin;
Philippa," said Mrs. Bertram,   .        • -,  •
Mr. Oonont howed, and turning,
said, -

Only the sound of an infant tongue,
Only a liaby's voice next door;
And yet the listener's heart was wrung,
Aud her soul grew faint and sick and sort.
Only this souud could wake her heart
To the pain and the joy of long ago,
Only this sound could bring the smart
To wouuds she had hoped were healing Blow,
Aged with trials and gray with care,
The one-time mother bent low her head-
While the baby werds took a weird share
In the dream she dreamt c'. her darling ilea 1.
Only a dream—hut she held her cliild
Once more to her withered, thankful breast;
Again looked into Mue.eycs that smiled,
And one© more watched his angel rest,
And waked with a feeling that was not pain;
With a softened hfart that was hard before,
She whlBpered sweellj and jet again :
" Thank God for the baby's voice next door.'

. "My friendLake, Miss Bertram. He,
also, is a stranger, so I took tho liberty
of bringing him with me." The last
words were addressedto Mrs. Bertram,
who smiled and said suavely, " A friend

cordial welcope." fl    ...,,-, , .

To Philippa's. intense relief, the gentlemen devoted themselves to her mother
for o time, so that the unpleasant feeling with which she entered the room had
time to wear away.
Mr. Oonunt was undeniably handsome, with a grave dignity of bearing
which would hove won at least a pleasant greeting from her had it not been
for her mother's too-well-remernbered
words. His companion was tall and
manly-looking, but was much younger.
Ho had a pleasant face, liglited by a pair
of merry brown eyes, which evidently
had thus far seen only tho bright side of
life.
It was not natural to Philippo to be
stiA' ond Constrained, and tho armor Of
cold dignity with which she hod invested herself soon thawed as .slip listened
to the sprightly conversation.
Mr, Lake hod a fine tenor voioo, and
found his way to the piano as naturally
and unaffectedly as a bee to its favorite
flower. After o time Philippo's girlish
treble joined in, remarkable only for its
sweetness and purity of tone; but the
[ effect was pleasing, and the evening.

After giving Daisy the most judicious
advice as to sun-shades, sho proceeds to
.mittrf, saying: "Well, Daisy, if you will
havo the truth, you ought not to wear
mitts until you know how to wash your
hands and clenn your linger nails. Don't
flush and get angry. You are no worse
than most girls and most women. I
dislike mitts beoause I see them go out
of fashion, and I always think of them
as worn on big red paws, grasping o
market basket, but 1 also like them because thoy disclose suoh a multitude of
smoll sins against neatness. Pretty
girls come hero and play Mendelssohn
and Ohopin to me, and I am grateful,
ond wish that I dared to tpll them how
much prettier their hands should look if
I bad the care of them. Tho littlo ladies
mean to bo neat, but thoy think that
they cannot moke their dimpled finger-
joints perfectly clean without roughening the skin, ond so they make no effort
to do so. Tory likely they hovo o hangnail or two, and seem to regard it os o
dispensation of foto for whioh they are
not accountable; and, as for their noils,
I have not seen a pretty set on that keyboard. Somebody wrote a long story
the other day about a nail doctor who,
for a staled fee, keeps tho hands of
French Indies in order. Wo need a
logion of nail doctors here."
"I'm sure," said Daisy, with a pout,
"I wash my hands often enough."
"But you never wash them thoroughly," is the sharp retort. " Go and do
it now."
Daisy obeys, ond, after a great splashing and rubbing of soap and scrubbing
of noil-brush, and a hasty polish with a
^towel, holds out ten pink digits for inspection.
"Washed !" says the foiry godmother
with intense scorn. " JFrighteued with

Secretory Evhrts, who was An original
silver man, has been warmly congratulated upon the acceptance of the invitation to^ the International Mqney Cop-
ference'by botSi F^hco^ndTOly." I'he
Secretary has been of the opinion for
apothecary'B. Kemember that the skin
' about tho root of  the nail should be
carefully pressed back every day, and
that the* cornera of the noil should not
i be "filed too closely. It takes time to do
: all these things, but there ore few toilet
I offices of more real importance. A well-
; kept hand will retain its beauty long
trffter the hair is gray, tho eyes dull, tif-
I'ter the teeth have departed and theiig-
■ ure is only r memory of tho past; but
money worries."
"Dear momma," said Philippa, softly, stealing a little hand into one of her
mother's; but the thought of their poverty did not seem to startle her. It remained for the next communication to
do that.
" But all my pinching and saving to
mako you an elegant, presentable girl in
society is richly repaid by your improvement," continued Mrs. Bertram;
"and, if yon manoge your cordsrightly,
all will be well. You must 7nake a guod
match, my darling, and with your beauty
it will be on easy thing."
Tho eyes turned questioningly upon
her face, darkened suddenly, and the
slight young figure straightened itself
proudly.
"Don't interrupt me, child," said
Mrs. Bertram, as an indignant protest
was forming on Philippa's lips; "that
would be a rudeness of which one of
Modamo Diderot's graduates should not
be guilty. Listen. A distant cousin of
yours on your father's side, who is to
inherit a rich old uncle's money, is coming here to-night by that uncle's request.
The old gentleman would bo well-
pleased to hove the two branches of the
family united by a marriage. So, you
see, unless you are obstinate in the matter your future is secure."
" So I am to bo put up like a Circassian slave-girl for n stranger's inspection.
I'll not do it! I will die first!" Then
the impetuous young thing suddenly
changed her tone of fiery indignation. "Mother, I will work for you.
I am young and strong, and you shall
want nothing. Only spare me this
degradation."
" You, uBe rather strong terms with
regard.to your cousin's visit," said Mrs.
Bertram, coldly. "Butwe will waive
further discussion of the matter for the
present, I shall rely upon you to perform j our duties as hostess gracefully
this Ovemng, notwithstanding your peculiar views," and the irate woman
swept out of the room, mindless of the
tears with whioh Philippa's eyes,were
brimming ovor.
Evening came. Philippa was called
to the drawing-room, and found two
gentlemen awaiting her entrance in-
anything in  my
coupe to ask such a question ?"
"Pardon me, I hardly know what Ij

Let us be
friends, Mr. Lake, and \
forget the words which have passed be- j

Ho took the little hand and held it
imprisoned in his warm, iirm clasp as he J
Boid, pleadingly:
"It   you  would   promise to try and '
learn to lovo me, no matter if  it took
years   to  win you, I would wait patiently."
Phihppa blushed ond trembled before
her lover's gaze, ond tried to withdraw
her hand. Then, ns o sudden thought
came to her, she regained her firmness,
and said:
"We are not rich people, and my
future is not my own. Mamma has
spent her all on my education, and I
must woik and take care of her."
Harry Lake smiled.
"Think of this tiny hand working !
What could it do?" Then, with a deep,
tender tone, which went straight to
Philippit'sheart: '' Give men son's* right
to enre for your mother. Her comfort
shall be my first thought next to you."
"Mamma would never consent,"murmured tho girl, confusedly.
" Then you will say ''yes' if I can win
your mother's approbation?" was Harry's eager question.
With a slight return of her old archness came the answer:
"lean best decide when that time
comes.'*'
But the soft blush and tho swiftly
down-dropped eyes told the happy lovex
a far different litory. .:     ■-'i
Much to Philippa's surprise, Mrs.
Bertram's consent was easily won ; but
it was all explained after the wedding,

Death of a Noted Mormon.
, Porter fiockwell, a Mormon Dauite,-
who died suddenly at Salt Lake a short
time ago, was notorious during the Mormon troubles in Illinois and Missouri,
whero he took active part in many of the
bloody deeds that then characterized the
Saints there. It was he who shot Gov.
Boggs, of Missouri, in the mputh,. He
was one of the most daring and desperate of the many religious fanatics Mor-
monism has produced, and was the
leader of theuow defunct organization
of "Destroying angels," or Danites,
and, it is believed, has committed many
murders and robberies, though few have
been proven against him, the church always interfering more or less in his behalf. He wos a warm friend of .Too
] Smith, and also, until late years, of
Brighom Young. Last year ho wos indicted for tho murder, in 1857, of the
Aiken Jiorty of emigrants, passing
throngli the Territory for California at
the time of the Mormon troubles with
the Federal Government. His trial was
recently set for tho.uext term of court, J
he being released on $10,000 bail, Of
late yelirs he has spent his time raising
horses and drinking whisky, sometimes
being drunk and carousing for weeks together. He made no confession, nnd,.
having alwayB kept his own counsel,
comparatively little will ever be known
of'lthe .crimes of which ho is believed
guilty. _

Dangerous Paper Hangings.
The Boston Traveller says: "Poisonous wall paper is becoming so common,
and it is bo difficult to distinguish it
from tho harmless artiole, that it seems
to be tho part of prudence not to paper
rooms. Dealers are not to blame for
this state of thiugs, but the manufacturers are, and they have no more right
to spread arsenic on the walls of dwellings than milkmen have to place it iu
tho milk they sell—the milkmen would
never think of doing anything of tho
kind. Arsenic is well known to be a
cumulative poison, and men oan no
more breathe it with safety than they
can swallow it with safety, and it is inhaled by every one who makes use of
roomB papered with arsenic-laden paper.
Health is first destroyed, and then life
is lost, by inhaling the air Of rooms that
are poisoned in the papering. Women
and children, as being tho more domestic, are the greater sufferers, and nursing m'thers and their babes are peculiarly open to tho workings Of the
reeking poison that comes from beautiful walls." ■
