I think of the pink billet and of all the other trifles light: as air that go far to make me believe the pretense to be a. pleasant one for Duke, but say nothing. He cer- tainly finds it more than easy to be “civil” to her. " I thought you were in bed at least an 110111915?" “ Do you know how late it is ?” says MM- maduke, coming in from his dressing-room, with an ominous frown in his blue eyes. V7 " However, her pains go for naught,” continues Babs; “ there is nothing so diffi- cult t9 rg-light as a. @ead l_ove.” A shadow crosses her piquante face. She draws in her lips and bravely smothers a. sigh. A door bangs loudly in the distance. I start to my feet. “ It must. be later than I thought," I say. “ The men seem to have tired of their cigars. Good night, dear Bebe.” Inside my door I literally stamp my feet with vexation. “Could anything be more provoking? What a. nuisance that Sir Mark is, with his meaningless compli- ments 1 I have no patience with men who are forever cropping up just when they are least wanted.” 1 gain the corridor, down one long side of which I mush pass to get; to my own room. Fancying, when halfway, that I hear a. noise behind me, I stop to glance back and ascertain the cause; but no capped or tri- setted head pushes itself out of any door to mark my doings. Some one of the indes‘ oribabla noises belonging to the night had misled me. 7‘ Good-uighfi,”v Elie murmurs, and with a. hurried embraoeyge palm. Raising my head suddenly 8.1: this junc- ture, I see Marmaduke coming slowly up the stairs. Our eyes meet ; I blush segr- let, and. with my usual clear common sense, drag my hand in a. marked and guilty manner out of my compamon’s. Once more I stammer, “ Good-night," very awk- wardly, and make a. dart towards my own room, whil Sir Mark, totally unaware of the real cause of my confusion, goes on his way, conceitedly convinced that the fascina- tion of his manner has alone been sufficient to bring the color to my brow. He is three yards distant from me. His face wears a surprised and somewhat amused expression, that quickly changes to one deeper, as his eyes travel all over my pretty gown, my slippers, and my disor- dered hair. Reassured, I turn againâ€"to find myself face to face with Mark Gore. All this time he has not let go my hand. He has alther forgotten to do so, or else it pleases him to retain it; and, as we have moved several steps apart, and are at least half a. yard asunder, our positions would suggest to a casual observe: that; Sir Mark is endeavoring to keep me. Naturally I am covered with contusion, and, having had time to feel ashamed of my behavior during the evening, feel how especially unfortunate is this encounter. “ Do you often indulge in midnight) ram- bles?" he asks, gayly, stopping in front of me. “ No," I return as unoonoernedly as I well can, considering my perturbation ; “ but to-night Miss Beutoun and I touutl so much to say about our friends that we forgot the hour. Don’t; let me detain you, Sir Mark. Good-nights.” “ Good-night,” holding out his hsund, into which I am constrained to put mine. As I make a. movement to go on, he detains me for a. moment to say, quietly, “ I never saw you before thh your hair down. You make one lose faith in ooifieurs. And Why do you not oftener wear blue ‘1” “Fancy any one appearing perpetually robed in the same hue!” I say,suubbi1y; “like the ‘woman in white,’ or the ‘dark girl dressed in blue 1’ ” “You remind me of Buchanans’ words,” goes on Si: Mark, not taking the slightest notice of my tone. “Do you remember them '2" shoe ; My eyes were like two hambells bathed in litlle drops of dew. “ My hair golden yellow 1” excluim I, ungraciously. " Who could call it; so? It is distinctly brown. I cannot say you strike me as being particularly hsppy in the suitalbility of your quotatiops.” There is not the faintest shadow of dis- respect in his tone; he speaks as though merely seeking information; and, though the flattery is openly apparent, it is not of a sort calculated to offend. Still, I feel irritated and impatient. My hair was golden yellow, and it floated to my you were. Coming om I met Sir Mark, accidentally.” _ -,. .- u... ‘7 "fiafigfi'fiiy tone is defiant. I atillfeel I am exeueing myself, and this does not sweeten my temper. " 0h 1” says Marmaduke, dryly. “Why do you speak in thee tone, Mar- maduke ?” “ I am not aware I am using any parti- cular tone. But I admit I moat strongly object to your going up and ficwn the cor- ridors at this hour of the night in your dragging-gown.” “ You mean you disapprove of my meet- ing Sir Mark Gore, 1 could not help that. It happened unfortunately, I allow; but when the man stopped me to bid a civil good-night, I could not bring myself to pass him as though he were an assassin or a. mid- night marauder. Of course I anawerd him politely. I can see nothing improper in that, to make you ecowl as you are ssowliug now.” “ I am not talking of impropriety,” says ’Duke, very haughbily. “ It is impossible I should connect such a. word with your con- duct. Were I obliged to do so, who same roof would not cover 113 both for half an hour longer ; be assured of that.” I laugh wickedly. “ Which of us would go ‘2” I oak. “Would you turn me out?

But I forbid you to go into Bebe’s room another night so late." " Forbifi me, indeed I” cry I. indignantly. “ And have I nothing to forbid ?" (Here I think of the cocked-had note.) “ You may do 3.5 you like, I suppose ‘I You cannot err; while I am to be scolded and ill-treated because I say good-night to a. friend.

I feel so disappointed.” __ _ “ Why 7’" asks ’Duke, atarnly. “ What; was there in the unexpected presence of your huaband to bring the blood to your face? I had no idea I was such a. bugbear. t looks very much my though you were ashamed of yourself.” " I always thought you inuanded making your fortune in that line,” continues Sir Mark, lazfly. " The last time I met you, in the spring, you were radiant in the possession of so many more hundreds than you ever hope_d to obtaiq.” “ Well, when, yesâ€"I was ashamea of myself," Ioonfees, with vehement petu- lanoe, tapping the ground with my foot. ‘ I was ashamed of being caught out there on dishabille. it you want to know. And now, that you have made me acknowledge my crime, I reablly do wish you would go back to your own room, Murmaduke, because you are m an awful temper, and I detest being cross-examined and brought to task.

Chips, who is lounging in a. chair beside Miss Bea.- toun, his whole round boyish face one cheru- bio smile, looks up inquiringly. “Masters told me you were quite an authority.” “Just; 12 o'clock," says Mr. Thornton, with a. moody sigh. as he pulls out his watch for the twentieth time. “We are regularly done for it it keeps on five minutes longer, as rain at 12 means rain 8.1ng31.” We aié all asemBled in thalibmry, it being the least doleful room in the house on aiwetrdaiy. “ Let us forget: the weather,” says Bebe, brightly, turning from the contamplavion of it to sink into a. seat by the fire, “ and than perhaps it will clear. After making up our minds to go to Warmmster and visit a rink, and dine at a hofiel and drive home again in the dark and have a. general spree, I confess, the not being able to do anything has rather put me oufi.” “ Mere superstition,” replies Miss touu, rising to flatten her pretty against the window-pane, in the vain of catching a glimpse o_f the blue sky. “He grows sarcasfiic," murmurs Si: Mark. “ This weather, instead of dumping him, Lu; it would more frivolous mortals, has the effect of developing his hidden powers." It is the next day ; and,as we have arranged to visit a. skating-rink in a. town some few miles from us, the min is a disappointment â€"â€"especially to me, as I have never seen a. rink. “I hardly $11in that you will see one today,” my: Sir Mark, turning to me with a smile." “ Seems so add you never having seen one, dear Mrs. Carrington," says Blanche Going, sweetly, “so universal as they now are.

It insuros evory victory: praccioe, i. e., exercise and experience, would enable a. hundred vezarans to beats. thousand recruits, even it the recruits were better armed. A brigade of ordinary riflemen wouid have no chance against a. regiment of picked archers, Bush as were employed in war in middle ages. In the London Tower, and in the armoriaa of Strasburg, Nuremburg, and Vienna, there are several coats of mailthat have been pierced through and through 841311 evidently by the same shot Thai it], bhe arrow has broken the bzeast-plete, pegged through the bofiy of the euirassier, our} then through the bmk-gflate.

During the middle ages it; wee the custom of princes, and even 02 wealthy burghers, to keep runners, who followed their car- riages afoot While the horses were going at full gallop. Feat runners were in great deâ€" mand, and if parents wanted to qualify their chilflren for a. position of then sort, they began to train them from the earliest childhood, and made them undergo a. singu- lar operation, namely, the removal of the spleen, which was supposed to have an in- fluence ox; thevigo; o_f the luiggs. From the ci-Sy of Puebla, in Mexico, a sandy country rosd leads across the hills to the valley of Amozao. Early in the morn- ing that road is crowded with Italian huoksters, who carry heavy baskets on their backs. They often come from a. distance of ten or twelve miles. but make the. trip at a sharp trgt, and without a. single slop. Their children trot at; their sides, carrying small bundles or bugs, and thus learn their trades so gradually than they hardly feel the hardships pi is. It is certainly queer that now-a-days a. small, short-legged dog can easily outrun the tallest man. It has not been always so. An ostrich proves that twolega can go as fuel: as feur. Want of exercise pro- bably accounts for the whole difference. Next. to football, the favorite game of the English school boys in the game called “hare sand hounds.” In watching their race-e I noticed that; for one boy who is too short-leggefl to win, at; least twelve are too 1shortmn’ndcd. Their lunga give out a. long while before their legs (10. But that sort of hhort-windednefie can be readily cured by various kinds of exercise, especially by mounmin excursions. But the champion of the band name last His whole outfit: consisted of a. straight wooden pole, about ten feet long, and hardly three inches in diameter. It was cutoff square 3.5 each end, and did not seem to be very heavy. This pole the juggle: placed upright on the level surface ofawooden baud, tried the board with his feet to see that it did not shake, then Erooeeded to climb the pole. He chambered p and down some ten or twelve times in quick sucoedpion. He then asgepded to the Li ,1ng Weights in another excsllant lung exercise. There is a. story of a Grecian Samson, the athlete Milo of Crotono, who day after day carried a. calf around the arena, and gained in strength 13 call gained in weighfi, till he could finally carry a. steer. We may doubt if the steer was quite full grown ; bui there is no doubh that Dr. Winnbip, of Boston, Mace“ prac- ticed with dumb-bells and bagiula of pig iron till he was able to lift, though only for a moment, the weight of the heaviest steer on the Texas prairie. It is equally certain that. before he began to exercise he was the punieah aiudenh of the medical college. And if a weshly man of modern times could uplift such a weighs, why should not a. champion of the Grecian arena. have been able to carry it for a distance of half a mile? Fox: 16 cannot be denied that people have become more puny since they began to trust to gunpowder and steam instead of to exercise. The next performer had an attendant who held a. tin box by a leather etrep, and swung it slowly to and fro like the pendu- lum of a. large clock. In the centre of the be; was alerge hole about an inch and a half, but certainly not more than two inches, in diameter. The juggler stepped back to a. distance of about twenty yards and began to throw little copper tells at the tin box. The first ball was caught by the attendant, who thereupon raised the boxa couple of inches, but continued to swing it to and fro. The second, third and all following bells went straight through the narrow aperture without ever touching the rim of the hole. He threw about forty of them, and then retired amidst the pro- longed applause of the whole audience, for thie time everybody oould appreciate the miraculous cleverness or the trick. During the 1th Vienna. exhibiiim e troop of Japanese juggiers attracted for more attention than the display of their native art works end manufactures, They had amazingly clever rope dancers ad tumblers, mere boys some of them. But their best performers where all grey- heeded old men. It had taken them a, life- time of practice to master the difficulties of their special tricks. One of them began his performance by putting the palm of his left hand upon a box, and after stretch- ing out his legs horimntally in one direction stud his right arm iii the other, he raised himself in a. way that his whole weight was supported on the edge of his left hand" Without ever touching the ground with any other part of his body, he then began to turn on his wrist, slowly at first, then more and more quickly, till his outstretched feet whirled around like the spokes of a. hori- zontal fly wheel. The rapidity of his motions was wonderful enough, but how he contrived to keep his balance would have puzzled the best aorobsts of our gymnastic associations. In countries where they still rely on the strength of {sheir limbs, an in Turkey. flun- gary and Afghanistan, there are plenty of man earning their bread by common labor who could astonish the so-called athletes of uFrench circus. A Turkish poraer wxll shoulder ubox which (he driver of a New York express waggon would hesitate to unload wnhouh asumtgnce. During the Aighuu war the native war- riors curried cannon to a battery on the top of a hill from where the English soldiers were unablo to carry them down nguin. The foot EOldIel‘B of the Turkish Jani- zaries had to drill in full armor, run, wrestle and even swim, without removing their iron equipments. Such evalue did bhexr drill-master set; upon {he influence of early training that they would never acoeptarectuit of more than 12 years of age. These cadets were exercised for years, like the sons otthe old Spartans, before they were assigned to actual duty, and the result; was that; the Janizaries repeatedly beam the armies of ullWestem Europe combined. The ancient Greeks managed to train not only their troops but the whole nation by offering liberal prizes: for proficiency in all kinds of bodily exercise, such as running, leaping, spear-throwing, and wrestling. At a distance of 60 yards their epeermen could hit a. target with unfailing certainty. Their runners comyeted with horeee and greyhounda. It is on record that the chain ion leaner of the Sputum Heloteu once cleared 52 feet}, and crnctive of Cro- tona, in Southern Italy, even 55 feet.

By a. sudden contraction of his body, he then joined his feet at the top of the pole. let go his hands and slowly raised himself till he stood bolt upright {aka a statue on a. pillar. All this whim the pillar had no uther Bumsort but 9. fl 5% wooflen board, sand was balanced entirely by the management of the statue. One of the apechatore, an expert Ameri- can gymnast, got permmsinn tn go on the stage and examine the pole. He looked at the lower end, took up the board, looked at the floor below, and then examined the board Itself. It was nothing but a. piece of pinefiwood. _ “A..- . ‘ “ Well, how do you explain it ? ” I asked him when he came back. ” I can’t believe in witchcraft,” he uttered, “ so I don’t know {Lt all yvhat to say about it.” “Afher the pertormance was over the jugglers distributed little cards, showing the purtmifis of their chamyiona, and their principal exploits. Like ell Japanese pictures, the drawings were made by hand, 12m resembled each other as closely as prints from the same steel plate. They were worth keeping, for both the subject and the workmanship illustrated the wonderful influence of exercise. \Vhy an Ormor Must Under-stead Geode"- laliou. Gesticulstion is foreign to our nation; and yet the man who would be an orator must learn what to do, as well as what to avoid doing, with his arms and hands. The world is but an echo, the ambassador of thought. All energetic passion, all deep sentiment, must he heralded by expression, or by outward and visible sign of some sort ; otherwise the words will fall coldly, as emanating from the intellectual machine, and not springing, warm and irrepressibleflrom the heart. Talma, in his treatise on the art of acting, says: “ The gesture, the attitude, the look, should precede the words, as the flash of lig t‘ ning precedes the thunder.” Yet. if you watch any uncultivated speaker, you Will find that his action never indicates the path he is travelling, but follows it. Observe the itinerant preacher, whose apoplctic eloquence sug- gests that he is suffering from edetermina- than of words to the mouth ; you will see that the flinging of his arms to amier is an effort to add force to his words, not the outcome of strong; feeling before it has roken into speech. The true erator’s movements must appear so spontaneous that they pose unnoticed, and yet, insen- cibly.thcy wili effect his; audience. The most powesful speakers are always more or less actors, who identify themselves with the cause they sdvocete. Cold rhetoricians who have not this capacity may brig; con- viction to our reason when we read their speeches in the papers the morning after they are delivered, but, lacking the pes- sionate persuasiveness of men whoe voice and frame vibrate with the emotion their words evoke, they will never touch the hearts or rouse the enthusiasm of an audi- ence. â€"The questiOu whether young women shall pursue the same line of studies 9.5 their brothers, seems to find its chief objection in their different physical constitution. Arguments: on this subject; are finely handled on both sides; but: the perfect ad- aptation of Mrs. Pinkhum’s Vegetable Compound to the cure of ailments attending yhe feminine organism needs no argument; we works are m proof. ," See here," he said to his clerk, ” I don‘t mind letting you cif a. day now and then to attend your grandfather's funeral, but 1 think you ought to have the courtesy to send a few of the fish round to my house.” In public Bpthkihg, his in reading, it is of primary impcminee fillet the voice be not pitched me high or IOU low, but that the keynote he etzuek in the middle of the rc- giatcr. Many persons become exhausted in reading, or in addreceing an audience, from ignorance of the art of respiration, and from the erroneous notion that it is necessary to employ some non-natural tone. Neither is it essential to shout in order that the speaker’s words may be carried to the furthest extremity of a. large hell. There can be no greater mistakes than these. As in singing, so in oratory, the most natural emission of the voice, if combined with a. distinct articulation, will “tell” more also great distance than all the bellowing in the world. Actors are especially liable to forget that violence is not power. and that loudness is rather in- dicative of hysterical and feminine impo- tence than of manly force. I sat beside a greet actress at the theatre lately, when a scene which should have torn out our wzy heart-strings was being enacted. ' Why do they talk so loud ?" she whispered to me. “They would produce twice the effect if they did not scream at each other.” â€"Nineteenth Century.

When the traveller asked them how they made afire. they could not understand his question,but they regarded it as very amusing, and answered them when a person’s fire went out he got some of a neighbor. and, it all the fires in the village should go out, they would get it from the next village. Some of the natives represented that their fathers and grandfathers had told them that they remembered a time, or had heard from their ancestors that there was a time, when fire was not known, and everything was eaten raw.
