It has been a long, hot July day; but newt-he sun has gone down in a blaze of glory, and a soft purple haze lies low in the valleys. The house, which stands well back from the village street, is thrown open that the grateful cool of the evening may steal in at Window and doorway, Mrs. Munro stands in the wide entrance hall, with a troubled face, and an open letter in her hand. Her daughter, Elizabeth, :1 tall, dark haired girl of twenty, bends toward the west window, reading by the fasc- waning light. Laura, the younger, lies languidly on the sofa, fanning herself. Cindy has just finished putting away the tea-things. She has polished the last tea-spoon, made the glasses clear and bright, brushed the crumbs off the pantry shelf, aml “ set sponge” for to-morrow’s baking. For her, too, the hour of rest has come, and she has dropped down on the back door-step, for a little coolness and quiet. Not; that she is so very tired ; for she has erfeet health, and is generally the Iithest little creature under the sun. Yet, te-nightr, she looks a trifle worn and weary. You remember the gold-fever, the sudden wild enthusiasm that swept over the whole land like a tornado in 1848, and bore so many adventurous oung “men to the‘Pacifie coast? Well, a bilipGay was one of the first to go, end one of the first to die. He never came back. His wife led a‘half-and- half sort of existence that was not life, for a year or two ; and then folloWed him to the unknown land that is at Once so much nearer and so much farther than California. Very far, very remote it seemed to the little Cindy. But she was not left utterly deso- late. Aunt Tilly lived in Millthorpe; and after the funeral she took the child home With her. After the cot- tage and the‘bit of land were sold, and the debts were paid, it was found that, thene..wae a trifle leftâ€"enough, if well invested, to clothe the girl and to send her to school for {1 year or two. She was notquite pennilese. Just then Mrs. Munro came out with the open letterin her hand. “ I don’t know what to do. Cindy,” she said. “I hate to refuse, and it’s such a fuss to have him come 1” “Have who come, Aunt Tilly 7” “Oh, I forgot! You don’t know. Why, I have just got a letter from that Miss Alden, who boarded here one summer. She wants me to take her brother for a few months. He's a painter. or something." “ Never mind that, Aunt Tilly,”in- terrnpted Cindy.) “I don’t mind the work, if you think bent to have him come.” Cindy’s face sparkled all over. “He’s more thaw-that,” she said. “ Miss? Alden ‘ told me about him. He's a real artist." I "What‘s tho difference ?” asked Aunt Tilly. “ I’d be Willing to have him come, just to oblige his sister, but it will make so much more workâ€"1 andâ€"3’ Brave little Cindy 2 She never did “ mind the work ;” and the result was, she had it- all to do. .Those who are willing to be burden-bearers for others have he‘difiicnlty in finding the bur- dens. Not one of that family meant to be unjust ' 'or nugenerous. But Elizabeth - was' “literary” in. a very small way. She was fond of her banks, fond of study. _ She wrote“ verses for the country paper,- nnd it was vaguely hinted that she was engaged on someâ€" thing. that would some time, em, etc. Of coui‘ee her time was quite too pre- cious to be wasted on house-work. Her real name was Lucinda. I doubt if Jane Gay had ever read the story of the Little Glass Slipper; but if she had she never would have thought of giving to her one baby such a. heathenish, out-of-the-way a - pellalion as Cinderella. The child was named for her grandmother; a good, old-fashioned substantial nan that had been in the Gray family for generations. N 0t that any one called her by it, unless, once in a while, in some sndden stress of anger or offend- cd dignity. Sometimes it was Cinda, bub generally Cindyâ€"and this last name the girl liked best of all. She learned to like another still better after a timeâ€"â€"but thereby hang; a, tale. Laura was aflx‘air, placid, indolent Glad when the shadows fall, After the day ; S‘rlad when the morning sends Darkness away.

The creative instinct was strong within her. She drew, as the bird sings, from pure~ 1m, with no thought of What might come of it. But upstairs, in her own room, there was one bureau-drawer filled with precious scraps, bits of card-board, drawing-paper, envelopes}. and what not, covered with pencilinge, outlines -â€"â€"hints of the glowing life of the girl’s heart. and brain. There were crude attempts at color, 100 ; here a. flower, there a spray of grasses; now aehild’s face, and then a bird with folded wings. There were glimpses of sun- set_skiee, and one stretch of blue sea, with a lone ship fading in the distâ€" ance. - ‘ I said there was a flattering in the dove-cote. Thestudies that formerly held Elizadeth lost their attraction, and she began to feel an intense inter- est in all that pertains to art. Raphael, Guido, Michael Angeloâ€"those became upon her lips as common household words. She never tired of sitting, metaphorically speaking, at Winthrop Alden’s feet and being taught of him. Art was the one thing needful, and her very soul did reverence at the shrine of the genius that could make the fleeting beauty of a day immortal as the Qatar's! . \q It does not seem strange to me that, in less than a week, there was a flut- tering in that dovecote. Every ,ne of these girls had her own ambiti has; even Cindy, who had not found itg'out yet. Elizabeth was only sensible of ii vague longing for “something befiter *han she had knewn" in Millthorp§- for a higher culture and n loflier‘fiv- ing. Laura was beautiful, and she knew it, and meant to make the most; of it.

' . ’ Laura played a different game. She was arch and saucy and ,coquettish. She praised his work today, and. made fun of it to-morrow. Then, when she had succeeded in annoying or wounding him, her penitence was most bewitching; and, with tears in. her sweet blue eyes, and a quiver of her child-like lips, she would plead her ignorance and inexperience, and beg his pardon with dangerous humility. : “Very Well, Miss Lam-a, It is a. bm'guin, if’, in return you will be my gui e to all that ‘ is, beautiful and pic- turesque in this wild r‘egiam” ', One day she came running to-biin with a pretty afl'ectation of simplicity. Mr. Alden laughed outright. It seemed an remely ridiculous to him that {Inaâ€"4V intbmp Aldenflhould be asked to,,giVe‘lessops ,tQ hiswlandlay’g daughter, and the...id._ea of. her being able to judge of his difit’mlties by any she was likely. t9 ono'ounter!‘ But the very simplicit of .the request was so amusing that u) said: u . ' “ Oh, Mr. Alden,” she s’aid, clas . ing her hands, “ if 'you would on y teach me how to draw I I have wanted to learn all my life. But how cauld‘ I, away up here where, there are no teachersâ€"~110 anything}. Maybe,” she went on, naively. dropping her eyelids till the long lashes swept her cheeks, “maybe I could appreciate your work better if I should try my own hand at it, and learn some of its difficulties.” Ho came, this Winthrop Eldon, a handsome, manly looking fillow, in spite of a recent illnok.» V born and well bred, with plenty of jblue blood in his veins, which was? yet warmed and enriched by the red of our common humanityâ€"an artist, as Cindy had said, but with so much of ancestral wealth that he could afl’ord time to do good work and to do it well â€"full of all beautiful enthusitisms, with an eye that was quick to see,1m ear to hear, and a heart to feel what; ovor was best worth seeing, and hear, ing, and feeling, was it any wonder that he _ was sweet-tempered; and charming, and that he brought into the quiet house a glow brighter than that of the summer sunshine? Money was not over plan?! in the house; and to take city boqrders~ just as an accommodation, ydn know â€"waq considered a rospocta’blo 'way to eke out a moderate ‘incb‘me. It was an easy way as well, when there was Cindy to the fore. Before She went to bed that night, Mrs; Munro had written to Miss Alden that'rOOms should be in readiness for her brother the last of that week. i , beauty. She‘ did not; like to wash dishes, for it spoiled heréhands. v- She did not like to sweep, for it made bar back ache. She did notdiko $0 (look, for it reddened her face.

She longed for them unutterably. Winthrop Alden did not see the hot {em-s that sprang to her eyes, for she turned to the sink and bent over her dishâ€"pan, as she answered, quietly : “Cin-de-relâ€"lMâ€"ho said again, lin~ gering on the word. “We are not going to the prince’s ball, Miss Cindy, but we are going up the hill to the pine woods. Those cool green silen- ces will be delightful such a day as this. Won’t you go with us ?” “Thank you. But it Willnot be convenient- 10vdny. Some other time, perhaps." A. Wlfy should she tell him that there were clothes to be folded down, and biscuits to be bakefland raspberries to be pbked for tea, and divers other things to be done? What could he understand about it? And the worst of it was, thesofithings had never seemed so burdensome, so distasteful before. She had not realized, herself; until this summer, how difl‘erenta life was hers from that led byhcr cousins. The young man touched his hat and walked away. But as soon as he was out of sight, Cindy dropped her dish-towel, and flow upstairs in a sud- den passion of tears. Cinerella, in- deed! She saw it all now. Yet there was no cross step-mother; there were no cruel sisters. _Her aunt. and the girls 'Were simply thoughtless, and, maybe~she did not like to say itâ€" seltish. That was all. 'But,alas! there was no fairy godmother either ! posted it was Cinderplla.” He hesitated a moment, while a sudden light broke over his face, and a smile played about his mouth. “Cinderella!” she cried, opening her brown eyes at him, as she nearly dropped a tumbler. “ What a funny ideal That’s not my name, Mr. Alden.” She wiped her eyes and came down stairs again. The water wae cold and the fire had gone out. So much for quarreling With fate, she thought. It was better to go quietly on and not fall into spasms. But she had made up her mind during that seemngly wasted hour. She would be her own godmother 1 She would make no dis- turbance in the household this sum- mer. This Mr. Alden did not belong to her world. He was nothing to her, nor she to him. What was it to her if he did seem to like Elizabeth’s con- versation, or if he should be entangled in the meshes of Laura’egolden hair? “It is very warm today, Miss Gin- derella," he said. Even genius can utter commonplaces. She Was happier after this. Gradu~ ally, her vague lans began to take definite form an shape. She scanned the contents of her bureau-drawer with an eye that daily gained etrength and clearncss. She studied every encilâ€"stroke of Mr. Alden’s that fol in her way with intense eagerness. Day by day the convic- tion grew upon her that though she might not paint great )iet-m‘es fortho world to wonder at, s '0 might still do something if she had a chanceâ€", something in the doing of which the best of herself might find expression. But is she could only share the les- sons about which Lam-a made so One day she was washing the din- ner dishes, trying vainly'to recall the blitho content of- former days; and wondering whither it had flown, when Mr. Aldon passed “through tho kitchen. Pausing for a. moment in the shadow of the trumpet honey- suckle, with his hand upon the door- post, he looked down the fragrant garden-paths and then back into the room from which the heat of various culinary oderations had not yet 03- caped. Cindy‘s cheeks were flushed, her hair lay 10W upon her forehead in little moist brown rings, her'hands trembled, and she looked thoroughly uncomfortable. ‘ ‘ Poor Cindy ! For the first time in her life she envied Elizabeth and Laura. This new hero of theirs was no less a- hero to her. As for loving him: she would as soon have thought of loving a star, or the sun itself. But this onion was the embodiment of all her dreams. He did with easy, caro- less graceâ€"tho ease and grace of a god, it seemed to herâ€"tho very things that she longed to\do. He lived her own ideal life. It was hard to be in the kitchen, doing the rough work, while Elizabeth‘sat. in the cbol, shaded parlor, leading Winthrop Alden onto talk of his work and-its aspirations, of artisblife and its romantic . ssociah tionsâ€"ofall, in short, that was clear- est to Cindy’s soul.

Shall we go up to Sunset Rock tO-night, Mr. Alder ?â€" I'd {we to go !” A curiou‘s case iS in progress in the St. Louis courts. In 1856, or there- nbouts, and Italian named Cadamatai‘i came to this country bringing with him a wife and child, and settled in St. Louis, where he adopted the occupation of u beggar. The little girl did most of the begging, while the father invested “the receipts. This part of the business he Ktten'ded to withmuch“ shrewdne as, sht€filéii§§ffzi3ufi§fi goqasjmw and so on, with the money she obtain? ed. Becoming compamtively wealthy, Cadumaturi determined on a. trip to Europe, and went off amply suppled with funds to enjoy himself in his naâ€" tive land. \Vhile he was gone the (laughter begged us persistently as ever, and in the course of about five years accumulated $512,000, which she depos- ited with the managers of the St. Louis University. Lately, Cadumatari re- turned from his European tour, and learning of this deposit made haste to claim it for himself, making a draf t on the university for the money. The managers refused to acknowledge the old mendioant’s right to the funds, and thus the matter came to the courts. The daughter, who, during the old man’s absence, had married one of her coun‘ trymen, who was probably well aware of her invaluable qualities as a help- meet, proved that Cadamatari, when he first came to St. Louis, had no means of livilioorl except- tho proceeds of her begging. The Antecedents of V a Bazaine Witness; The career of a witness in the Ba- zaine trial is thus reviewed by the Paris correspondent of the Pall ill/[all Gazette: “The person to whom I allude is Maud’hcux, who was em- ployed as an emissary by the com- mandant of Thionville to communi- cate with Bazaine. This individual, who has just been brought up before the Court of Assize in the Cote d’Or, is the son of a Paris advocate who was condemned to hard labor for life for forgery. The son was carefully brought up by his mother, and re- ceived a first-rate education. He studied the law with success, mas- tered six or seven foreign languages, and might have made himselfa capi- tal position. . However,'he took to bad ways, and then enlisted. The discipline of the army did not ‘im- prove him, and he was several times tried by court-martial. When his time was out in prison he returned to civil life and committed forgery. He was tried, and passed several years in jail. When released, he took to literature under a false name, and produced fifteen or sixteen vol: umes on diverse subjects. He wrote for several papers, and obtained the editership of a paper in Algeria, but he committed new crimes, and was forced to fly. In order to live he was reduced to accept the position of 'a common servant, under an assumed name. He got. into fresh trouble, and then wandered from town to town, abusing the confidence of friends and relatives, deceiving peo- ple with his seductive tongue, and robbing ladies to Whom he promised marriage. He then got work at an ironmaster‘s in‘the Moselle, and it was there that Colonel Turnier found him. Since the war he has commit- ted half a dozen more forgeries. net to speak of other crimes.” ‘ ‘3 But you are in the room some- times when she takes her lessons?” remarked Cindy, wi 1h 3 question in her voice. ' ~ “ Oh, Mr. Alden does not teach like a. drawing-master. She just sketches whatever she pleases, and he criticises and makes suggestions. She .won’t draw so much gs a straight line in his presence.

He has a sympathetic voice. He frequently supplements his ser- mons with a song, and the music is quite as efficient .as'the appeal. H0 visited in madhouso the other day, and was shown a. cell in which ‘a mad- man was confined. He was one oi‘ the most furious sort. ,He had to be chained to the floor to keep him from dashing his 'brains against the sides of his cell. It was as much as .one’s life was worth to approach him. He tore his clothes into ribbons, and his bed was a mass of rags. As the min- ister looked through the grating the prisoner made for him, and with such violence as to jerk himself back on to the floor. He rose foaming With rage. ‘ I’ll kill you.’ ‘I’ll beat your brains out.’ ‘ Clear out.’ Instead of moving, the preacher began to sing. The hymn he selected was ‘ Our Home iri‘Heaven.’ First th'e mad- ‘man listened; then he stretched him- self out to the full length of his chain. First one arm relaxed and then the other. Tears moistened his eyes. Then he; coiled u on his bed of rags as quietas a chi d. And when the hymn was ended he looked up saying, ‘More, more.’ The preacher sang till his strength gave way, and when he left' the madman seemed hushed in slumber. The keeper said he had no doubt but it would have been per- fectly safe for the minister to have gone and sat down by his side in the cell. It was the old case of Saul and David.” A ’ came to the surface " she inetitictii‘l‘lééfig caught at the first object- floating past, and said to a lady who hung '10 the other side, “ I can’t die, so I” A Wil- ful, patted child, she even now strug- gled against the general fate.

In the Vaal River Territory in South Africa the diamond district comprises nearâ€" ly 400 square miles. In theprovinee ofBahia, Brazil, is a region as yet but imperfectly known, which pro‘ ducee diamonds by thousands, the annual value being ' estimated at $3,000,000. This region is a. tertiary sandstone, a very remarkable fact, and some mineralogists are of opin- ion that there will be discovered the formation of the diamond. The use of the diamond as a boring tool is thought to be a modern invention but there is a tradition in South Africa that the Bushman of past gen- erations were in the habit pf seeking for diamonds along the Vaal and using them to bore holes in hard stones, which were their tools, im- plements, and ornaments. ' ‘ Some people are too he, some too lean, in their own opinion. Nowit’s foolish to fret over trifles like these; rest, assured that Nature manages everything for the best. If a man is fat or lean and feels well, having all the bodily functions acting regularly, with sound sleep, and no discomfort after eating, he should by all means let himself alone. Most persons went to have a little more flesh; want to weigh more; u few want to weigh less. Some, in the effort to increase their weight, have eaten by rule, and reason instead of being guided by their instinct, have accomplished their object, with the addition of some chronic disease. Others, being too bulky for their pride, have paid for fiistidiousness by bringing on in- curable maladies, as a result of the too free use of vinegar, or by chewing teal.
